Of course over the course of the film that's all explained, but then where would the joke be right?
He never thought of himself as abnormal, so he never put much thought into how he never took a sick day. He's not super strong…his bones, muscles, tendons, nerves, and skin just won't break under the weight. And he has to actively develop his "psychic powers" over the course of the film…which again, you're watching a film about a man who survives a train accident in the beginning unharmed (again, not a common occurence) so how realistic are you expecting it to be?

Finger Tattoos Of Hollywood's Young And Rebellious
In recent years we've seen a boom of young Hollywood celebrities fearlessly go under the gun and get inked with a special phrase, portrait, or symbol. Their choices are often deeply personal, but where they decide to have their skin permanently inked takes things to another level of intrigue.
We're seeing more an more Hollywood rebels make the bold choice to have their fingers tatted up and it's surprisingly insane the amount of detail that can go into some of these mini works of art.
Check out the gallery above of celebs and tattoos that literally go hand-in-hand.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of TiVo. All opinions are 100% mine.
I first heard of TiVo from an episode of Friends. Remember that time when Rachel asked Phoebe to accompany her to dinner with Rachel's father so she could tell him that she was pregnant? Rachel kept on beating around the bush, answering "I got TiVo" when asked what was new with her. Phoebe got exasperated and when Mr. Greene asked what Tivo was, she said that it was slang for pregnant. Anyway, that particular TiVo definition may have earned its place in urban dictionaries, but the real TiVo has brought TV viewing to whole new levels.
One of my Facebook friends just posted on her status that all her shows are back this Fall and that life has meaning again. I'm sure all the Gleeks out there echo the sentiment. What if you're like me and can't be home in front of the boob tube for the premiere? Doesn't TiVo appear to you as something absolutely heaven sent? With TiVo Premiere and the new TiVo Slide remote, you can celebrate the return of all your favorite shows this season. Beyond being a simple DVR, TiVo allows you to find your favorite TV programs, movies and Web video whether it's on cable, Netflix, Amazon On Demand, Blockbuster On Demand, YouTube videos via the TiVo Search feature. If you want to zero in on all the 2010 Emmy faves, the exclusive TiVo Search and TiVo Collections features can get you caught up with a couple of clicks. You can find everything from upcoming episodes to previous seasons on Netflix, Amazon Video on Demand or Blockbuster on Demand. Features such as the Fall TV Guru Guide which keeps you updated on all the new shows this fall will guarantee that you won't miss out on any great TV. The TiVo Premiere also has something like IMDB, which gives you an actor's work history, with the bonus of being able to watch it right there via YouTube, Blockbuster, Netflix, etc. This one, I really like. I'm a great one for research (because I'm obsessive) and my curiosity can be easily sated with the availability of such a feature.
Big TV fans know the true value of TiVo. If you're one and have yet to "Like" it on Facebook, I suggest you head on over to its Facebook Fan Page.
Incidentally, you can also Enter to Win TiVo's 30 Slides in 30 Days Sweepstakes. Daily winners will be chosen once a week and notified via email. A new winner is chosen daily, so enter everyday for your chance to win.

Facebook product manager Sam Lessin has revealed that they are going to start public launch of their Timeline feature with New Zealand first.
He spoke about the reasons behind picking this country for the launch: "We chose New Zealand to be first - and I'll probably get in trouble for saying this - primarily because it is an English-speaking country. It's far away from our data centres, so we can monitor speed and performance."
Lessin added that they have not decided on a schedule for a broader rollout.
Facebook Timeline was revealed weeks ago though the company has been delaying the public launch since then.
It is one of the most comprehensive update to the user's newsfeed since the origin of the service platform. And they want to make sure that they get the launch right.

Indian stars have lived up their expectations at the Commonwealth games 2018 at Gold Coast Australia. Indian players have left their mark in all disciplines so far.
A t the time of writing this report, joining the gold medal bandwagon is ace shooter Heena Sidhu. She won the gold in the women's 25 metre Pistol, staving off a stiff challenge from Australia's Elina Galiabovitch in the final at the Commonwealth Games . Alia Sazana Azahari of Malaysia won bronze.
The Indian ace hit the bull's eye with her first two shots in the five-shot final before missing the third. But that hardly mattered as she was on target in the next two and the Australian missed the target on her first and fifth shots.
Powered by Saina Nehwal Indian mixed badminton team claimed its maiden Commonwealth Games gold medal, thrashing three-time defending champions Malaysia in the final 3-1.
The pair of Satwik Rankireddy and Ashwini Ponnappa claimed the mixed doubles match against Peng Soon Chan and Liu Yong Goh 21-14 15-21 21-15, before Kidambi Srikanth stunned three-time Olympic silver medallist Lee 21-17 21-14 in straight games, his firs victory over the Malaysian giant.
The Games debutant men's doubles pair of Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty lost narrowly to Goh and Wee Kiong Tan 15-21 20-22, keeping Malaysia afloat for a while. But Saina sealed the issue with her win in the women's singles, though she was made to work hard for her 21-11, 19-21, 21-9 victory as India's claimed their 10th gold medal of the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
"It was exhausting, I actually lost focus during the match but thankfully managed to hold it together and ensure that the gold medal winning shot was mine," said the London Olympics bronze-medallist.
"It is a medal that I will forever cherish, it is very special. Team gold is always way more cherishable," she added.
Earlier, India had won the mixed team silver and bronze respectively in the 2010 and 2006 editions of the Commonwealth Games.
India swept the table tennis team events of the Commonwealth Games as the men matched the women to claim a memorable gold with an emphatic 3-0 win over Nigeria in the final, in Gold Coast.
Sharat Kamal set the ball rolling by beating Bode Abiodun in the opening singles. The experienced Indian was sluggish to start with, losing the first game.
From the second game onwards, 48th-ranked Kamal was his usual self, unleashing forehand drives on either side of the table. His power and range of strokes was too hot to handle for the Nigerian as Kamal completed a 4-11, 11-5, 11-4, 11-9 win.
Just like his senior teammate, G Sathiyan too fumbled in the first game but bounced back in style to outplay 2002 CWG singles gold medallist Segun Toriola 10-12, 11-3, 11-3, 11-4.

Sometimes you're able to step into a story in a deep, different way. It's not entirely clear to me how does it happen. Maybe it's something that has to do with the Genius Loci, maybe it all comes from the act of feeling and empathizing with the true spirit of a place, where everything takes a unique shape and nature. Suddenly the light, the sounds, the stolen moments, everything makes sense and seems to be part of a perfect, suspended dimension.
Jasmin and Christopher strongly wanted me to tell a magical weekend among the hills of South France, surrounded by their friends and family in a hidden corner where the time seems to flow in a different, slowed way.
I had the honor to share with them two intense days, trying to get lost among that light, those silences, their joy. This incredible experience led to this story, which I hope will bring the magic of those moments with it.

Hello everyone!
Happy last day of National Beef Month! I hope you have celebrated by eating beef and celebrating the industry. I have been so busy these last couple of months; I will fill you in the best I can.
I have been preparing and practicing for the Cattlemen's Sweetheart Competition every single day. I have also been selling raffle tickets in support of the Florida Cattlemen's Sweetheart Competition. I wanted to extend a thank you to everyone who has supported me and purchased raffle tickets.
The Manatee County Cattlemen and the Sarasota County Cattlemen held their annual combined meeting at Longino Ranch. Mr. Coddington and his team cooked a fantastic supper for everyone. We also had the privilege to hear from the Florida Cattlemen's President, Mr. Gene Lolis, as he discussed some of the prevalent topics in the industry.
In April, the Florida Cattlemen's Sweetheart Committee hosted the Sweetheart meeting via Zoom, where we met all of the contestants and asked any questions we had. I have also attended a few ranch tours with the Florida Cattlewomen, specifically Blackbeard Ranch. I also participated in the Women of the Year in Agriculture, honoring Mrs. Verinique. This was a fantastic event honoring her and all of the integral women in agriculture.
Furthermore, the Manatee County Cattlewomen had the opportunity to serve the Parrish Fire Department on Cinco De Mayo tacos in a lot of appreciation for their service to our community. This was a well-appreciated event, and I hope to continue this tradition in the coming years.
To conclude, I am packing to move to Gainesville for the summer, and I could not be more excited. I will be working remotely in the summer for Corteva Agriscience and serving as a College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS) Ambassador. I will still practice every day for the Sweetheart contest in mid-June, and I hope to make you all proud. Be sure to follow the Florida Cattlemen's Sweetheart Facebook page to watch the competition live.

The annual meeting of the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron was held on Monday afternoon, at the Castle, West Cowes, for the transaction of the usual business, to receive a report of the committee for the past year, and to elect the sailing committee to conduct the business of the regatta in the present year. A great muster of the members of the squadron were present, and more than usual interest was manifested in the proceedings on account of the recent election of the Prince of Wales as commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, in the room of the Earl of Wilton, deceased. On account of events connected with the war in Egypt and the departure of the Duke of Connaught, the Prince of Wales was prevented from attending the meeting; and, in his absence, the chair was taken by the vice-commodore, the Marquis of Londonderry. The following were elected the sailing committee for the year:—F.C. Ashworth, Colonel Sterling, Mr. Spicer, and Lord Bury. In consequence of the Prince of Wales's absence, the customary house dinner of the squadron has been postponed.

(Editor's note: this post will be sprinkled with tweets about prospective name changes for the Condors now that the Oilers own the club outright.)
@NewWaveOil bakersfield Frackers
— Bemused Indifference (@PointGiven76) January 23, 2014
The Oilers have purchased the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL. They own the Condors, free and clear. That sounds exciting, doesn't it? They now own a pool of talent one ladder rung below the Barons, and a good franchise would hopefully be able to help blossom ECHL-level talent into something that might have a chance to play in the NHL someday.
@NewWaveOil What's the word for fowl and assorted birds smothered in Oil? That word.
— Romulus' Apotheosis (@RomulusNotNuma) January 23, 2014
The first thing I thought of when I heard the team was purchased was "I wonder how many 20 year old former Oil Kings can we cram onto one squad", and I genuinely began to worry that Bakersfield would be home to a bevy of twenty year-olds with fourth line aspirations.
@NewWaveOil King Condors or Rig Rockets or Rig Pigs
— Big Red (@Oilersin4) January 23, 2014
My fears were utterly fatuous, for if Oiler prospects are in Bakersfield, that puts them two steps away (instead of one, and hopefully a contract) from the NHL. It's at least an extra piece of paper, and we know how the Oilers are with regards to rules and things like that.
@NewWaveOil Oil Drops maybe? I'd think they'd try and incorporate Oil in there somewhere.
— Zach Laing (@Loweded) January 23, 2014
Welcome to the family, Condors. Like a second marriage, this time it's for real.

'Darkness shall rise'
Let Us Prey is a 2014 British-Irish horror film directed by Brian O'Malley from a screenplay written by Fiona Watson and David Cairns. The synth soundtrack score was composed by Steve Lynch.
The movie stars Liam Cunningham, Pollyanna McIntosh (Blood Lands; The Woman) and Bryan Larkin.
Rachel, a rookie cop, is about to begin her first night shift in a neglected police station in a Scottish backwater town. The kind of place where the tide has gone out and stranded a motley bunch of the aimless, the forgotten, the bitter-and-twisted who all think that, really, they deserve to be somewhere else.
They all think they are in the police station by accident and that, with a little luck, life is going to get better. Wrong, on both counts. Six is about to arrive – and all hell will break loose!
"A few gory scenes might shock some viewers. But, violence and chaos are pointless, if there is no underlining, purposeful reason for it. As well, all of the characters are amoral and difficult to empathize with. They all get their just desserts." 28 Days Later Analysis
"Well-developed characters, good casting, articulate script, well acted, well directed – particularly the flashbacks which are too often a weak point, and produced adequately if cost-effectively, provide us with an unexpected gem, and one of the best in the genre in the past five years." Curt Doolittle
"Credit must go to cinematographer Piers McGrail whose sumptuous visuals add to the tension and creeping sense of dread and bring to mind French slasher flick Switchblade Romance. There's plenty gore to keep horror fiends satisfied, yet enough intrigue and chuckles to appeal to a wider audience too." Eye For Film
"Let Us Prey is a film well worth seeking out. This is an action thriller with a smattering of horror that will appeal to most audiences and while the final scenes may not satisfy everyone, what's gone before will forgive this possibly minor miss-step." The Horror Asylum
" …presents a lot for horror fans to love: an interesting idea held on the shoulders of some very strong performances and expertly maintained atmosphere and tension, with enough violence and gore to keep things interesting without being excessive." PopOptiq
" …director Brian O'Malley gets things off to a good start with a taut narrative and particularly a moody and precise mise-en-scene that remains effective until the very end. Alas, the film is let down by a concept that feels underdeveloped and motivations that seem little more than convenient machinations to set standard shocks and thrills into motion." Screen Anarchy
"O'Malley has marked himself as a talent to watch. Striking a perfect balance of suspense, violence, humour, story and action, Let Us Prey feels at once classic and modern; horror the way it was always supposed to have been made. You will not be disappointed." Starburst
"O'Malley clearly has an eye and a visual flair that should serve him well in future projects better suited to his directorial style. The issue is the honker of a script that has characters spout expository and pseudo-religious nonsense, with attempts at one-liners that hit the ears as comfortably as a someone banging pots and pans right next to you." Thoughts on Film
"Sadly Let Us Prey was a real let down, it was disjointed, the script lacked any direction and the story grew more laughable and predictable as the film progressed. I adore religion in my horror but this was just not for me at all. Liam Cunningham broods, Pollyanna McIntosh kicks ass and I sat tapping my feet waiting for the end credits." UK Horror Scene

For Samsung fans in India, the long wait for the brand's new budget handsets will end on January 28. The South Korean brand has made it official, via Amazon, that the new Samsung Galaxy M series of smartphones will debut in India before the end of this month. The Amazon teaser page put up for the phones, however, does not mention any specific phone, and only says 'Galaxy M Series', but there have been enough leaks for us to tell you all about the phones in this series. Read on for the officially teased and other leaked features of the Galaxy M30, M20, and M10.
Key Features Of Galaxy M Series Smartphones
Since Samsung did not mention any one phone and teased features and key design aspects of the 'range of mobile phones' called Galaxy M Series, we will assume here that the features teased on Amazon are common to all the three handsets, which are expected to be called M10, M20, and M30, in order of pricing from low to high. The Galaxy M10 will be a budget device while the Galaxy M30 will be the best-packed one in this series. The Amazon page shows off neatly the Infinity-V display that will be seen on Samsung phones for the first time, as until now Samsung has kept away from the waterdrop notch trend, even as it released the punch-hole camera phone Galaxy A8s just recently.
The notch does look great, in that it is small and stylish, and houses one camera sensor that sits below the earpiece, and only a thin bezel can be seen running around the display. The teaser images, however, do not reveal the chin of the phones, and that may be because the chin is of different sizes on the three handsets, or just that it is a bit too much to reveal.
There is an ultra-wide camera sensor in the dual rear camera setup of the phones, and we can see a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor as well as a flash placed below the camera unit. The back panel appears to be smooth and not glossy, meaning that it is either plastic or aluminium, but definitely not glass. Showing off some fast charging technology for the phones, Samsung said there's 3x faster charging, but 3x what is the question we still need clarity on. We can make a guess, however, that at least one phone in the series will get QuickCharge 3.0 support, while the images make it appear as though all of the phones will have Type-C USB, which will be an excellent thing if true.
The bottom side of the handset in the images shows a 3.5mm headphone jack too, a bottom-firing loudspeaker, volume rockers and power button on the right-hand side, a slim body, and rounded edges. Only one color — blue — has been shown, but hopefully there will be more choices. This whole effort by Samsung, in any case, is aimed at regaining its lost market share glory, captured by Xiaomi thanks to its innovative and attractive budget handsets.
Samsung Galaxy M Series Leaked Specifications
According to the many leaks around this interesting new series of smartphones, the budget handset Galaxy M10 will get a 3400mAh battery, a 6-inch display, 3GB of RAM and Samsung's Exynos 7870 processor. The Galaxy M20 and M30 will have a larger 5000mAh battery, with the M30 getting a larger 4GB RAM.
The Galaxy M20 will have a 3GB RAM while the M30 will get a larger 4GB RAM, and both phones will be powered by the Exynos 7885 chipset. A triple rear camera was expected from the Galaxy M30, but the official teasers make no mention of that. One disappointing aspect of these phones, based on the leaks, is that they will run Android 8.1 Oreo and not Android 9 Pie out of the box.
Samsung Galaxy M Series Launch, Price
The Amazon teaser page put up for the Galaxy M Series also has a 'Notify Me' button for those interested in more details as and when released officially. The page, at the bottom, also says 'watch this space for more', meaning that it is likely to be updated with more features and images in the coming days. Insofar as the price is concerned, Samsung has earlier said that the price range for this series of handsets is INR 10,000 to INR 20,000.

I'm so behind. There are still Christmas decorations in a box in my entry, and today I told my editor that I had plenty of time to set up a story about a February 11 event we've been discussing. "It's March," she said.
And how did that happen, I want to know? (Tucson.) Anyway, I'm late on this, too, but finally got to visit Modern Manor in Phoenix's Melrose Design district. It's an amazing haunt for vintage and industrial finds, and the owners share my love of lucite and tufting. I felt like I'd washed up in Palm Springs.
A virtual droolfest:
Saarinen tulip chairs, anyone?
This Milo Baughman rocker and ottoman set is just unfair.
I lost my head over the collection of vintage sign letters and have big plans for a few (that I hope are still there.) They even have the old Electric Ladyland sign.
This chaise wants to be white, and it wants to be my new reading nook.
I spied a vintage card catalog, even.
Ah, smoking accessories. (Hey, it was glamorous for a reason.) Perhaps one could employ this lucite cigarette lighter as a scented candle lighting tool instead.
Sweet lamps in turquoise: the bloggers' color du jour.
Also: they have 450 Herman Miller chairs on the way.
It's next door to Phoenix Metro Retro, a midcentury hotspot, and steps from all the antique shops on 7th Ave. America's Taco Shop is on 7th, too, which means you've got a very happy Saturday afternoon ahead.
Modern Manor is open Thursdays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and is just off 7th Avenue and Camelback Road. Address: 716 W. Hazelwood St., Phoenix. 602-509-7709.

United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women, or UN Women, has launched a new flagship report Beyond COVID-19: A Feminist Plan for Sustainability and Social Justice.
It says the COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to three urgent crises – on jobs, care, and the environment – that undermine gender equality and threaten the survival of people and the planet. It says the need for a plan to recover and transform economies has "never been clearer".
The report details how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated preexisting gender inequalities and laid bare weaknesses in the already fragile global care economy.
Globally, in 2019 and 2020, women lost 54 million jobs, and even before the pandemic, they took on three times as much unpaid care work as men. Women are disproportionately impacted by environmental degradation while also being left out of decision-making around policy and financing to address climate change. By the end of 2021, men's jobs will have recovered, but there will still be 13 million fewer women in employment.
"The need for a new social contract that delivers sustainability and social justice for all has never been clearer," said UN Women acting head Pramila Patten.
"We have a generational opportunity to break the vicious cycle of economic insecurity, environmental destruction and exclusionary politics and shape a better, more gender-equal and sustainable world. Today's report provides a roadmap for how to do this, while recovering the ground that's been lost on gender equality and women's rights."
"We have a generational opportunity to break the vicious cycle of economic insecurity, environmental destruction and exclusionary politics and shape a better, more gender-equal and sustainable world. Today's report provides a roadmap for how to do this, while recovering the ground that's been lost on gender equality and women's rights."
Drawing on the latest available data and the contributions of more than 100 global experts, The Plan calls for action in three key areas:
An economy that supports women's livelihoods. The vulnerability of women's jobs has been brutally revealed during the pandemic. Urgent action is needed to strengthen social protection systems and move women out of the informal economy.
Putting care at the centre of a sustainable and just economy. The world has recognized care work as 'essential' in this crisis. Now is the moment to back that recognition with policies to properly support and reward that work.
Gender-just transitions for a green future. New green jobs for women, and investments in sustainable energy and agriculture will be critical to set economies on more equitable and sustainable paths.
The report was released during the 76th UN General Assembly (UNGA) - the largest yearly meeting of world leaders, on this year from 14-28 September.
It also comes days after the UN announced a new Executive Director of UN Women, Sima Sami Bahous of Jordan.
While UNGA has been the setting for several historic moments for gender equality, much is still to be achieved regarding women's representation and participation.
Just four women have been elected President of UNGA in its 76 years, and only 22 of the 193 Member States represented currently have a woman Head of State or Government. The United Nations has never had a woman Secretary-General.
This article from UN Women takes a fascinating look at the history of gender equality and the General Assembly.

So, my friend gave me this exercise and asked me to solve it. Sometimes it's fun to solve algorithm problem… sometimes…
Given an array A of n integer numbers, find all the (i,j) pairs such that A[i] + A[i+1] + A[i+2] + … + A[j] = 6. For example, A = [1, 5, 4, -2, 4, 8, 7, 9, 0], these pairs are valid i,j (0,1) and (2,4) because sum(A[0->1])=6 and sum(A[2->4])=6
Of course, the worst solution is to perform n2 operations. For each number in A, do another loop inside that to find the sub-sequence having the sum = 6.
Surely there should be a better solution. And here is the
O(n) solution.
- Loop through A from 0. For each item
- Calculate the
sum(A[0->i]). Remember to use an accumulate variable so that you don't have to loop again each time.
- Calculate the
- Now, perform another loop through A, for each item
i, if there exist an
sum(A[i->j])=6, which means
sum(A[0->i]) + 6 = sum(A[0->j]). You job is to look up a value computed before. To do that, use a map to store the result from previous step for
The above solution uses 2 loops but can be considered as
O(n). You can optimise it more to use a single loop but the basic idea is still the same.
One thing to notice about this is the sum. The suggestion from another friend of mine is that, the continuous sequences of numbers have some special attributes that can help us unlock the key to the problem. One of them is the sum, probably some days it will help me with other problems.

It's not every day that a lifelong dream comes true.
During my first visit to Rome at age 18, I vowed that some day I would have more than simple tourism as my reason for returning to the magical land of Italy.
An idea was initiated in 2012 by a personal invitation from Alfio Borghese – member of the noble family of art patrons dating back to the Italian Renaissance – to partner on an art exchange between Italy and Southern California.
I was faced with a daunting challenge: how to carry out this project — which had potential of being grand– with appropriate importance, dignity and scale.
Over the past year, Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) has partnered with me in developing this multi-faceted project, which has matured into California Dreaming: an International Portrait of Southern California — an exhibition of 54 artworks selected by three prominent jurors that will travel to three notable venues before culminating in July 2015. A double exhibition of work by San Diego area artists is scheduled to follow, to be held concurrently at OMA and L Street Fine Art in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter.
Through multiple calls for entries, artists were invited to explore the celebrated lifestyle, influences, and environs of Southern California while creatively interpreting Southern California's iconic culture. From 900 submissions, the jury process resulted in California Dreaming: An International Portrait of Southern California — a collection of 54 works by 54 artists from Southern California and beyond illuminating a broad range of perspectives on the California Dream.
OMA's Executive Director Daniel Foster says, "I think this exhibition has been interpreted by the three jurors in a very contemporary and updated manner that directly challenges the nostalgic and romantic mid-20th Century notions of the "California Dream."
The perspective and issues within this exhibition refer to a much larger global context of social and economic change in our world today."
California Dreaming, which is OMA's inaugural venture into international traveling exhibitions, is currently showing in the Palazzo della Provincia of Frosinone, Italy through Oct. 28, 2014. Participating artists and over 100 members of the Italian media and arts community enthusiastically received the exhibition at the October 4 opening in Frosinone.
On Oct.24 a delegation from the Oceanside Museum of Art is scheduled to travel from Tuscany to Frosinone to celebrate the exhibition before it returns to the US.
California Dreaming will be on exhibit at Oceanside Museum of Art for over three months from Dec. 6, to March 29, 2015. A major public reception will be held at OMA, Dec.6, 2014 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The exhibition will then travel to Riverside Art Museum, April 21 to July 2, 2015.
Throughout the course of the journey there have been supporters without whom this exhibition would not have been possible, including Jim Kydd of the Coast News who provided major financial support. Julia Fister, OMA's Director of Education, has shown her commitment to the project by her endlessly generous contribution of time, energy, and experience.
For this California dreamer, the exhibition represents far more than an exploration of the California Dream as creatively interpreted by 54 artists.
It is also the manifestation of a lifelong dream in the form of the multifaceted California Dreaming exhibition.
A catalog of the complete California Dreaming: An International Portrait of Southern California exhibition is available on Amazon.com.

OMAHA, Neb. / ABC — A white bar owner charged with manslaughter for shooting and killing a Black man during protests in Nebraska has died by suicide just days after the indictment, his attorney said Sunday.
Jacob Gardner, of Omaha, Nebraska, was found dead yesterday, Sept. 20, outside a medical clinic in Hillsboro, Oregon, the Hillsboro Police Department said in a news release.
His attorney, Stu Dornan, said in a news conference Sunday evening that Gardner's death was a suicide.
"Unfortunately there are two men who have died in a terrible tragedy," Dornan said. "It's a terrible tragedy for the Omaha community, it's a terrible tragedy for James Scurlock and his family. It's a terrible tragedy for the Gardner family."
Gardner, 38, was charged with manslaughter by a grand jury for the death of James Scurlock, the Black man who Gardner shot on May 30 during a protest against police brutality and racial injustice outside Gardener's bar in Omaha, Nebraska, officials said.
"The grand jury indictment was a shock to him, and it was a shock to us," Dornan said.
An arrest warrant was approved for Gardner on Friday. He was scheduled to return to Omaha on Sunday to face the charges against him, Dornan said.

Text and photos by Emmeline Topp
"You know how the Swartland got its name? It's the Black Land," the farmer tells me. His face is lined beyond his thirty-two years, decades of weather and work deepening its contours and tanning its skin. "When the Europeans first arrived two hundred years ago, all they saw was this renosterveld, black when dry in the summer, black when wet with rain."
As I look upon the Swartland now, only fragments of this black bush remain. Most of the land is covered in huge green-golden fields of winter wheat and countless rows of stunted grapevines clinging to wire frames. Renosterveld is Afrikaans for "rhinoceros field," referring to the dusty grey hide of the now-extinct black rhinoceros that used to roam South Africa's Western Cape. The rhinoceros fields of the Black Land.
The names belie a region threaded with color and vitality. The Swartland is part of the Cape Floristic Region, a recognized global biodiversity hotspot on account of its thousands of endemic plants, captivating in their beauty and richness, which form part of the unique biocultural diversity on the southernmost tip of the African continent. Beginning approximately two thousand years ago, the KhoiKhoi pastoral peoples crossed the Swartland, leaving large sections relatively undisturbed. Following agricultural conversion, renosterveld is now the most endangered habitat in South Africa, with less than five percent remaining in the Swartland. As an ecologist, I am keen to understand the drivers shaping this landscape, including differing community values attached to renosterveld.
As an ecologist, I am keen to understand the drivers shaping this landscape, including differing community values attached to renosterveld.
Moorreesburg is a rural Swartland town approximately two hours north of Cape Town. I stay on a farm on the slopes of the largest remaining fragment of renosterveld in the area. Most remaining fragments are found on slopes that are too steep and rocky to plough. For farmers, the renosterveld is often of little concern or seen as an unproductive nuisance—and, simultaneously, part of their heritage. For practical reasons, they notice its animal life more than the botany and are very tuned in to issues of predation and pest control.
"As a principle I enjoy having it on the farm," a wine grape producer says of the small seven-hectare patch among his hundred hectares of vineyards. "I do enjoy walking through every now and again. I've seen lots of snakes, scrub hare, duiker [antelope], lots of birds, skilpad [tortoise], the Cape fox, porcupines, and we have a problem with the feral pigs. I don't want to say it's good for nothing; I just can't use it."
Other farmers explain they have come a long way since uncontrolled plowing. The long-standing discordancy of renosterveld is that, in botanists' eyes, its value is so great that clearing for arable land is inconceivable.
"It's not even viable!" One elderly resident of the Swartland, and steward of one of the very few remaining lowland renosterveld patches, tells me. "And that makes me so mad. Why do they have to [plow] it? That koppie has Spider lilies [Ferraria uncinata], Spiloxene [Cape star flower] and the peacock Morea [Morea villosa] flowering up there, and they don't know it's there." The koppie she refers to is a nearby hillside with relatively recent clearance.
Her own patch stands fragile amid invasive Port Jackson acacia trees and pesticide clouds over the neighboring vineyards. Yet recent visits from local amateur botanists and researchers give her hope that more people will come and foster awareness of the precious nature of renosterveld. "The local farm workers, they come through the koppies with their children on the way to school, and I want those children to be able to learn about what's in there."
The local farm workers, they come through the koppies with their children on the way to school, and I want those children to be able to learn about what's in there.
Chiefly, the farmers here have one major challenge on their minds: drought. The Western Cape has had record low levels of winter rain for three years running, and it hangs over the land like a phantom, causing the worry in my host farmer's eyes. He undertakes drilling everywhere on the land, shining a mirror down the holes, in search for the glint that tells of more groundwater. In the local Spar supermarket, families discuss the increasingly severe water restrictions. Signs are mounted on the roads out of town listing ways to save water: "Keep Showers to 2 Minutes," "Heavier Laundry Loads Less Often," and "Recycle Shower Water to Flush Toilets." In the crowded Moorreesburg churches on Sundays, the community prays collectively for rain. "Day Zero" looms on the horizon, the date when officials will have to turn off Western Cape taps and begin rationing water. The land is desperately thirsty.
Fire is drought's equally dangerous sister. Yet it plays an important role in renosterveld ecology. Two years ago, on my host farm, a huge veldfire (naturally occurring wildfire) ravaged the eastern slopes, and the once-thick shrubs became black charcoal stalks. The following spring, a most glorious flowering of bulbs was visible on the slopes for the first time in eighty years.
Some farmers plan to use fire to manage renosterveld and, in doing so, continue their family relationship with the land. One young farmer's tiny koppie is the last piece of natural heritage on her family farm. In a sea of vines and wheat fields, backed by huge grain silos, it is choked with too-high renosterbos (Elytropappus rhinocerotis) and taaibos (Searsia spp.) following years of fire suppression. "I found out about fire management on Facebook," she says. "I saw all these photos up there of flowers after a burn. They used to have agricultural shows around here, and my grandmother showed flowers every year. I'd like to keep the tradition." Recent research on burned renosterveld patches has rediscovered species that were previously thought to be extinct, such as Polhillia ignota, a shrub species in the Fabaceae family. Her plan is to burn the patch next autumn and bring it back to life.
'I found out about fire management on Facebook,' a young farmer says. 'I saw all these photos up there of flowers after a burn. They used to have agricultural shows around here, and my grandmother showed flowers every year. I'd like to keep the tradition.'
Other natural resource conflicts demonstrate the many community values of renosterveld. One very large fragment, formerly a landfill site and home to a motocross trail network, was recently designated a nature reserve. Now motocross is officially forbidden.
"Motorbikers and quad bikers are up there anyway," one municipal employee tells me. "It damages the plants and causes erosion. And the other problem is the bush doctors; they dig up renosterveld plants for medicine. It's completely unregulated and very damaging."
I am curious about the extent to which this traditional ethnobotanical knowledge is a part of the community. In the vibrant section of Moorreesburg by the taxi station, an open sack is spread across the concrete pavement. On one side of the sack are bulbs and roots and, on the other, bunches of herbs and wrapped leaves. The local Rastafarian bush doctors here point to large bulbs of cinnamon root, good for piles and clogged arteries; pungent wild mountain garlic with a bunch of squid-like tentacles; bunches of renosterbos and wild sage for tea or smudging (removing unwanted spirits from a house by spreading smoke); paper bags of aloe leaves; ointments prepared with aloe and Vaseline for sores and infections; and "elephant's feet" and kankerbossie (cancer bush, Sutherlandia frutescens). "I can cut a piece for you, 20 rand, 30 rand, how much you need," the bush doctor offers.
I see that the critically endangered renosterveld is home to this unregulated activity, but I am gladdened by the living connection to the local ecosystem. It is an enterprise that requires the renosterveld biodiversity itself and its potential value for people. Added to this, some local farm workers still hunt and trap for food in the veld, including guinea fowl and porcupines, and the thorny scrub patches can also be seen as places of natural bounty. The myriad community values of the patches enrich them beyond any value they may have as wilderness.
Together with the endemism of the flora and fauna, the cultural diversity of South Africa's Western Cape renders the Swartland even more incomparable. South Africa has eleven national languages, more than any other country in the world. On the farms surrounding Moorreesburg, farmers and farm workers speak a variety of Afrikaans, English, isiZulu, and isiXhosa. This diverse population is increasing and the Swartland needs new, wider roads, new housing. Lightning-speed urbanization is another of the major pressures on critically endangered renosterveld. Many of the municipal-owned patches are earmarked for imminent development, leading some community members to plan emergency transplanting of fragile renosterveld geophyte species from these areas. In this biocultural hotspot, so much is at stake on all sides.
Lightning-speed urbanization is another of the major pressures on critically endangered renosterveld.
The renosterveld, then, is a multifaceted natural resource woven into the very heart of the Swartland. The future for the community is full of challenges: a rapidly shifting sociopolitical landscape and an alarming lack of rainfall threatening its very existence. It is also full of hope. Species previously believed to be extinct can be rediscovered. Seemingly devastating fires yield thrilling floral rainbows in spring. And many members of the community continue to walk across the koppies, part of life progressing despite adversity, their footsteps weaving more colorful stories through the rhinoceros field.

First of all, I want to thank Kristy Glass for inviting me to be a part of the upcoming Knit + Escape event! Kristy was one of the first makers who really welcomed me into the knitting world when I was but a young granny. I am thrilled to be able to be a part of her virtual event Knit + Escape! On Saturday, April 10th I will be teaching Social Media Tips For Your Small Business at Knit + Escape. It's only two weeks away so I have a lot of excitement to pack into a short amount of time, so let's get into it!
I made so many mistakes when I was first joining social media. So this will largely be a do what I say and not what I do situation. But the biggest mistake I made when I first joined the platform was taking tips and tricks from large accounts and assuming that they would work for my small start-up. Hint, hint, they didn't! Many accounts offer advice based on what worked for them 5 years ago or even just 1 year ago and social media moves so quickly that what worked for them might not work for you anymore.
I want to help handmade businesses get that kick start. Through this class, I hope to set you up for success so that you start to build an audience that cares about what you have to say.
If you are looking to gain 10K followers overnight then this is not going to be the class for you. But If you are looking to build an engaged following. Then I can't wait to share my cautionary tales with you!
And if you have questions that you want me to cover in the virtual event there will be time for that at the end of the class so feel free to send me a direct message on Instagram and I will try to answer it on the 10th.
See you soon!!!


text: Supernova Explosion; Photo Credits: NASA The Universe. One of the topics we have all been highly intrigued about since a young age. However, how much do we really know about it? Kishore Patra, a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Astronomy, shares with us how it is that he went from wondering about it as a kid to doing active research to find where it all came from. Patra explains that astronomy is more than just studying stars and galaxies; today, the field is particularly focused on theoretical modeling and data science, practices that help create some of the latest telescopes and aid astronomers in analyzing data more accurately. He is currently studying supernovae explosions, the death of stars in the universe, particularly looking at the amount of polarized light that these generate. He explains that this can give astronomers a great deal of information about the geometry of the explosion — which helps paint the picture of explosions that happen in faraway galaxies and are not visible to us. When asked why it is that we study these phenomena, Patra explained, "If you look around you, everything in your room right now came from a star, including the elements of your own body. By studying supernovae we can answer some of the most fundamental questions of our origins. Where do all these elements come from and how were they scattered in faraway regions of the galaxy which eventually led to new stars." One of his biggest accomplishments while at Cal is winning the Outstanding GSI Award with the astronomy department. As the head Graduate Student Instructor of Astronomy C10 in the Fall of 2019, Patra led a group of 16 GSIs and 16 graders, along with giving occasional lectures in Wheeler Hall to the 850 students enrolled in the class. One of the many things he learned during the process of teaching was what his own knowledge gaps were. Coming from a physics background, the transition into astronomy was not difficult, however, there was still a lot to learn. Being able to teach this class helped make the transition easier for him as he learned along with the students. When researching different graduate schools, he found that Berkeley had the perfect balance between theorists and observers. A theorist being someone especially focused on the computational and measurable side of astronomy — building simulations of how a star explodes, for example, and analyzing the data from it. While observers gather their own data by observing the universe through telescopes and other instruments. Since he had not decided which of the two paths to follow, he believed Berkeley would give him the most freedom and resources to explore both. After graduation, he expects to remain in academia in order to continue teaching and conducting research, as this is what he most enjoys. Despite astronomy being a highly competitive field, he hopes that wherever he ends up allows him to keep sharing his passion with others. Paulina Gutierrez is an Editorial Assistant with the Graduate Division.

Every provider needs a good medical calculator app. There is simply too much information to recall to waste precious neurons memorizing the Wells criteria, Ranson's criteria, FENA, etc. Many of the top medical references such as UpToDate, DynamedPlus, Essential Evidence and Medscape contain many built in medical calculators. However, these can be time consuming to find and, depending on your subscription/resource, may require an internet/cellular connection. Previously on iMedicalApps we reviewed the top apps for family medicine and internal medicine. In the past, we recommended QxCalculate, MediMath and/or MedCalc (now MedCalx) as some of our favorite dedicated medical calculator apps. We have also named our top free medical calculator apps for the iPhone.
Many providers continue to use web based calculators. By far the most popular online medical calculator has been MDCalc. Founded over 10 years ago by Dr Graham Walker and Dr Joe Habboushe, MDCalc receives over 850,000 unique hits per month from all over the world. The website is known for its emphasis on evidence based medicine and clinical decision rules rather than just calculating a score. Recently here on iMedicalApps we interviewed the MDCalc physician team behind the MDCalc app. The MDCalc app is finally out and is free until 1 May 2016; let's take a look.
Video Review
Login to iMedicalApps in order to view the following video review of MDCalc. Registration for iMedicalApps is free.
Evidence based medicine
The evidence based medicine (EBM) components of the medical app are what really set MDCalc apart from its peers. QXCalculate is prettier (in my opinion) and MedCalx has more calculators, but neither contains a similar amount of EBM content. The MDCalc app gives brief summaries of the critical studies concerning the medical calculator, links to the studies on PubMed as well as "pearls/pitfall", "next steps" and expert commentary from the authors of the calculators.
Who would benefit from this Medical App?
Students, nurses, residents, mid-levels, faculty in any specialty, every medical provider needs a good medical calculator app.

Climate change has made wildfires across the United States hotter, bigger and more frequent. But none of these factors fully explains why 2017 was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire season in California history. Most of the dozens of lives and thousands of homes were lost in neighborhoods that didn't exist a few decades ago. Now the question is whether stronger building codes and fireproof building materials can make these neighborhoods safe, or whether officials need to reconsider their approach to building where the risk of wildfire is highest.
Reporters Eric Sagara and Patrick Michels tell the story of the hilltop Santa Rosa neighborhood of Fountaingrove in Sonoma County. They investigate how this neighborhood came to be built in the path of California's deadliest wildfire – and what's being done to prevent it from burning all over again.

|Wildfires used to come around once a year, wildfire season. But lately they've been happening all year round and they're getting bigger and they're burning hotter. 2017 was the deadliest year on record for wildfires in California. The most destructive of those fires was the Tubbs fire in wine country. It killed 22 people and burned down more than 5,000 buildings. Most of that happened in Sonoma County's biggest city, Santa Rosa, in neighborhoods like Coffey Park and Fountain Grove. But the fire started miles outside of town. It came through hills that, months later, are a mix of blackened oak trees and the first new shoots of green grass.
|It's weird. It's in a state of death and rebirth at the same time.
|I drove out to a clearing between these hills to meet someone who saw the fire coming. His name is John Founts. He's 70 years old and, since he was a kid, he's worked out here at his family's mountain home ranch, cabins and barns that were turned into a bed and breakfast and retreat center.
|John, what are we looking at here?
|This was the lodge.
|Al Letson:
|It was a three-story concrete house with a chimney made of petrified wood. Now it's just a chimney and a pile of twisted rebar and broken cement.
|We just did the inventory and, boy, doing inventory really is a tearful thing. You, in your mind, walk into each room. Okay, what was in there? It was very emotional when they came and tore it down.
|Al Letson:
|How long ago was that?
|Maybe two weeks, a week. Recently.
|Al Letson:
|It's still fresh.
|Al Letson:
|But as hard as it was to lose the ranch, it wasn't unexpected. Everyone in John's family trains to fight wildfires. They even have their own firetruck because the ranch? It's burned before.
|This is the third time.
|Al Letson:
|The first time was in the '30s, before John was born. But the second time was in 1964. This is a newsreel from back then.
|Speaker 3:
|The worst forest fires in the history of northern California have laid waste a quarter of a million acres.
|Al Letson:
|More than half a dozen buildings burned. But John, still in high school, was able to use water from a nearby swimming pool to help save the cabins his grandfather built.
|The 1964 fire and last year's Tubbs fire both started just a few miles from John's ranch, and both of them blew through the hills to Santa Rosa. In fact, if you draw an outline of the 1964 fire on a map, it's kind of eerie.
|Right. Exactly the same pattern as the one this year. Then it burned almost identical.
|Al Letson:
|But with one key difference. Even though these two fires burned the same land, the fire in the 1960s didn't kill anybody or burn nearly as many homes. There's one obvious reason.
|When the fires came through in the '60s, I'm sure that the community of Santa Rosa was not built up the way it is now.
|There was almost nobody. In fact, Fountain Grove was not built. Coffey Park was a hayfield.
|Al Letson:
|Coffey Park lost more than 1,400 homes in last year's fire. Fountain Grove lost more than 1,700.
|They'll be allowed to rebuild. They're gonna do it again. But a fire will come again there.
|Al Letson:
|Do you think it's crazy for them to rebuild there?
|Yeah, I do. At least the way they had it.
|Al Letson:
|The way they had it, Fountain Grove was a dense neighborhood of hilltop McMansions with Santa Rosa at their feet and rolling mountains in the distance. But now? It's full of big, yellow machines clearing the last chunks of McMansion off of cement foundations.
|I mean, it looks like the type of ruins that you would see in Greece or something.
|Those ruins tell a story, if you know wildfires like Reveal data reporter, Eric Sagara.
|You see down there? There's still an actual part of a building standing down there.
|Al Letson:
|There's not a huge amount of space there.
|Al Letson:
|If you're worried about wildfires, you wanna keep plenty of space between you and anything that will burn. That means bushes and trees, but also other houses.
|If you have a huge house on a small lot, you don't have a whole lot of space to clear and defend yourself. If bushes and houses are wildfire rocket fuel, this steep hillside is like a wildfire launchpad because heat rises. But if the fire risk here is so obvious, how did it all get built in the first place? For that, Eric and I pulled in Reveal's Patrick Michaels.
|Well, the development in Fountain Grove sort of begins in the early '70s when Hewlett Packard wants to move up from Palo Alto and put a tech campus there.
|Speaker 6:
|This is the Hewlett Packard HP65, the first fully programmable pocket-size calculator.
|Hewlett Packard built the campus on part of it and the rest of it was basically worker housing. That's what started this building spree out on the hillside. One after another, these master plan communities started popping up on the hills above Santa Rosa.
|You can actually see this from the air.
|Al Letson:
|That's Eric Sagara again.
|We have an animation here to show you how that growth looks.
|Al Letson:
|Okay, what am I looking at here?
|Up here-
|Al Letson:
|Eric shows me a time lapse birds-eye view of Santa Rosa.
|If you look right where this dark spot is, that is Fountain Grove.
|Al Letson:
|On those dark green hills at the edge of the city, white dots and lines start appearing. They're houses and streets. In the late '90s, they take over.
|That's a massive amount of growth in relatively a short period of time.
|Al Letson:
|Eric, all of these houses are going up in a fire-prone wilderness area. Is that unique to this part of California?
|No, it actually isn't. It's actually pretty common throughout the country. This fire-prone area that we're talking about, the wild land urban interface, this is where homes and vegetation collide and mix together. Sonoma County, the population in these areas grew by about 20% over the course of two decades. That's actually right at the national average.
|Al Letson:
|Patrick, what about the people who move into these type of houses? I mean, did they know about the fire danger?
|Well, not really. We met with a woman named Susan Goren, who moved in in the '90s.
|Welcome to the temporary permanent home while we rebuild.
|Her own home had just burned down.
|Those photos were rescued.
|Her husband had a job at Hewlett Packard and she and her husband were both big outdoors people.
|The natural beauty of Sonoma County is what really pulled us here. Then our family was growing and we needed a larger house. Sadly, that house and that entire neighborhood is gone.
|That was Fountain Grove.
|That was in Fountain Grove.
|Living on this heavily treed hillside, that was really what they were there for.
|An interesting fact is that one of the oak trees had been incorporated in the deck. In other words, the deck was built around the oak tree and you could see the scars up the limbs of this very old oak tree. It was from the Hamly fire 50 years ago.
|That was her first clue that there had been any fire there before.
|I said, "Oh, well, that's interesting piece of history. Okay." But it never dawned on me that it would be repeated. Was I aware of the fire risk then? Not as strongly as I am now, for sure.
|Al Letson:
|She's strongly aware the fire risk now because her house burned down.
|Right. But also because now she's a Sonoma County Supervisor. In that job, part of her job is to use what she knows about fire risk to help determine what people build where in Sonoma County.
|Al Letson:
|How is she doing that? What is Susan Goren doing about people who wanna build homes in these fire-prone areas?
|Well, we sat down with her and we asked her.
|If you can see a circumstance where wildfire risk on some land is just so extreme that you as a supervisor would feel comfortable not allowing construction on there, period.
|It's pretty hard for us, any decision-maker, to say to any property owner that, sorry, we are not going to rebuild large swaths of Sonoma County. I think that is not fair to the homeowners and it's not feasible for the policy-makers.
|What they're dealing with, apart from the immediate disaster of the fire, is that everyone who was displaced in the fire, those are all taxpayers, as well. The city is facing a multi-million dollar shortfall in its budget. They wanna get people rebuilding, made whole, and back into their homes in Santa Rosa as quickly as possible. They even set up an office to expedite the permitting process for people who wanted to rebuild their homes. We visited there right when they were just putting it together, basically.
|They're drilling keyboards onto the desks.
|Speaker 8:
|It's really exciting.
|There's a woman I talked to. She saw the devastation and the way that she thought of to help was to join the permitting office so that she could help people with the paperwork to get their homes built as fast as they could.
|Speaker 8:
|The key to rebuilding is gonna be streamlining permitting. Everybody understood that early on. We want somebody to rebuild on that property. We need that.
|Al Letson:
|It sounds like the local government's reaction to this devastating fire has actually been to accelerate building to get people back in their homes.
|That's not a unique sentiment. I've actually covered multiple fires and the recovery process afterwards. That instinct to rebuild and rebuild quickly is actually fairly common, but it's not just rebuilding. It's developers who are coming in and seeing opportunity in these scorched lots. Researchers have found evidence to suggest that new home construction can actually outpace rebuilding efforts after a wildfire.
|Al Letson:
|Okay, is anything different happening when it comes to this new development?
|Well, we didn't have to wait too long to see that because almost immediately after the fire, there was a development called Round Barn Village. Before this building can get started, the city council needs to decide to change the land use from commercial to residential. But it would put about 237 townhomes in the hills adjacent to Fountain Grove.
|We actually went to check out the site where they're planning to build these homes. It's an open field with a parking lot in the middle of it.
|We'll stand under the shade of a birch tree.
|When we got there, we met a city council member named Julie Combs.
|What we're looking at is trees that have black bark. They still have branches but the branches are all brown from being singed and scorched.
|It was a really just eerie sight. She was saying that this is a place in particular that she didn't feel comfortable letting people build because she felt responsible for people.
|We're not too far from the place where the fire jumped six lanes of highway and two access roads to burn down a Kmart. I have a lot of concerns about a residential project in this area. It always worries me to have people sleeping in a high fire hazard area.
|Al Letson:
|What happened when this new development came up in front of the city council?
|Alright, this was the moment that we'd been looking forward to throughout the reporting of this. This was the first big test of new development after the fire. We went up there for the city council meeting that started at 4:00. About 9:30, they got around to this question.
|Speaker 10:
|15.2. Public hearing. Round Barn Village project.
|We heard from the developer.
|Speaker 11:
|All of your exteriors, your doors, your windows.
|They described all of the fire-safe technology they were gonna be using.
|Speaker 11:
|All glazed.
|Scott Moon, the fire marshal from Santa Rosa, made the case that the new building standards in high fire risk areas are so strong that-
|I think that will play into the resiliency of our community as we do move forward.
|We can safely build homes now.
|That seems to be the prevailing sentiment. Stuff like fire-resistant materials, double-paned windows, screens on your vents, but I'm not sure that building codes would have saved homes in this particular fire. About 94% of the homes that were built to the standards that that fire marshal was talking about still burned. Our analysis found that there was 261 homes that had all these things in place. All but 16 of them were destroyed or damaged.
|Despite that fact, the fire marshal's emphasis on new fire codes really seemed to sway some of the city council members at that meeting.
|I'm happy to, with our discussion tonight with those commitments allow us to move on to the next step.
|There was just one city council member, Julie Combs, who stood her ground and said-
|We are setting a precedent to build more new housing in a fire hazard area when we vote today. I cannot support this thing.
|There was this anticlimactic moment where the clerk flips on the voting and the lights pop up and it was six green ones and one red one.
|Speaker 10:
|It passes six to one.
|That was it. They approved it and were on to the next order of business.
|Speaker 13:
|[inaudible 00:14:11] resolution of the council of the city of Santa Rosa-
|Al Letson:
|After this city council vote and Julie Combs, she was the one against six. What was her reaction?
|Speaker 14:
|Why are you still here?
|We caught up with her after the meeting right outside. What she said she was thinking about was taking the big view.
|This is only the first new housing development. It's not the last. We're going to see more development, more housing, proposed for the fire hazard area. We just blanked. The next group is gonna say, "Well, you let them go, why aren't you letting us go?"
|We just witnessed how it happens.
|You just witnessed the process of, "We've given up the ability to prevent any kind of increased density of housing in a fire hazard area." We just gave it up. We've given it up until the next fire.
|Al Letson:
|Eric, you said earlier that homes are getting built in fire-prone wilderness areas all over the country. In Santa Rosa, they're now putting even more houses there right after a major fire. Is the rest of the country doing the same thing as Santa Rosa?
|Yeah, I mean, generally speaking I would say so. We've seen this in areas like Tennessee, Oklahoma, South Carolina. These are all places that have lost homes to fires over the past few years. New houses are being built. They're rebuilding in places that have burned before and it's entirely possible that they're gonna burn again. The other thing we know is that fires are actually gonna increase in severity and frequency throughout the country, not just in the western states. We can expect to see this story again and again and again.

Britney Spears had a miscarriage/ who recently announced her pregnancy, admitted that she suffered an early miscarriage
Singer Britney Spears had a miscarriage. Singer Britney Spears had a miscarriage; People Talk reports on her Telegram channel.
Britney Spears, who recently announced her pregnancy, admitted that she suffered an early miscarriage. The singer and her fiancé Sam Asghari shared the news with fans by posting a post on Instagram.
The singer got pregnant by her boyfriend, Sam Asghari. The fact that the couple is expecting a baby, the American star announced a month ago. "It is with most profound despair that we must declare that we have lost our baby early. This is a devastating time for any parent. However, our love for each other is our power," Spears said.
She added that, together with Asghari, she would continue to try to make the family bigger. "Thank you for all your support. We earnestly ask for privacy at this difficult time," the singer's post reads.
The singer added that, despite what happened, they would continue to try to have a baby. Spears also thanked me for the support and asked for privacy at such a difficult time. The fact that she is expecting a third child, the singer announced on April 11.
The 40-year-old singer already has two sons from her marriage to dancer and rapper Kevin Federline, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2007, 16-year-old Sean Preston Spears Federline and 15-year-old Jayden James Federline.
In November 2021, the court released Britney Spears from her father's custody, which lasted 13 years. It is known that her father controlled her finances, movements, and personal life up to the adoption of contraceptives. After the custody was removed, Spears hinted that other family members did not provide her with real support.

What are Tooth Archetypes
Tooth Archetypes are a powerful way for you to understand and work with emotional and energetic influences on oral health, to help you avoid unnecessary dental interventions and have better experiences with any necessary treatements.
Different parts of your mouth are aligned with different aspects of the truth of your innate goodness, the gifts of your ancestors and the highest potential of your humanity. Tooth decay, gum disease and other symptoms can be understood as alarms calling your attention to blocked energy that has been getting in the way of your full power and potential.
Each of the thirty-two teeth has an Archetype that consolidates and extends existing metaphysical frameworks for teeth including Mouth Meridian energy channels, Dr Michele Caffin's psychosocial framework, Dr Christian Beyer's neurological framework etc.
It's a unique framework that I developed from working with my natural oral health coaching clients and I have written about in my new book: The Secret Lives of Teeth: Understanding emotional influences on oral health.
Secret Tooth Archetypes
Tooth Archetypes are like job descriptions. The Tooth's Archetype is a role that stays as potential rather than presence unless the Archetype is activated. Then the job starts to actually get done and the role is filled.
Tooth Archetype's gets activated by your experience with three 'S's': Silence, Secrets or Suppressed emotions. When one of the 'S's' affects the qualities of a Tooth Archetype, that tooth may eventually, or immediately, start to try to get your attention.
Most people will only become aware of a tooth asking for attention when symptoms flare up i.e. decay or cavities, sensitivity or toothache, bleeding or receding gums.
However, when you really pay attention to your mouth, you can become aware of a Tooth Archetype activating before it turns into a physical symptom. You might be aware of a buzzing or tingling feeling, a sense of fullness, or just a feeling that is hard to describe in or around your tooth.
The earlier you can engage with an activated Tooth Archetype, the easier it is to avoid, stabilize or even reverse damaging symptoms in your mouth.
NB The tooth chart shown is not a mirror image i.e. the left side of the chart shows the right side of your mouth.
Tooth Archetypes of Central Incisors
Incisors may carry the residue of your infancy, toddler and preschool years. They reflect how your caregivers socialised you and what you learned about how to be a member of your family, your community and the human race. The front teeth often have a lot to say about what you learned in those early years about gender, so the Tooth Archetype can be activated by different issues depending on your gender identity and experience.
The two upper central incisor Tooth Archetypes represent your earliest caregivers, and their relationship with each other. If you only had one caregiver, or none, these teeth can reflect parental absences in your infancy; or how a single parent embodied each of the archetypal roles.
The upper left tooth 9 is the Nurturer archetype which may reflect your body image and how you were taught about caring for your physical body and well-being. Your relationship with the caregiver who fed, cleaned and dressed you is represented by this tooth.
The upper right tooth 8 is the Leader Archetype which may reflect your relationship with a parent who brought home resources from the wider world, provided boundaries for your protection and who showed you how to relate with people outside of the family.
The lower incisors reflect the habits, patterns and beliefs that you internalised from your infancy and early childhood. These two teeth have a strong toddler energy!
The lower right central incisor tooth 25 is the Beast Archetype which has a very impulsive momentum kind of energy. This archetype reflects your feelings and experiences of taking action on your desires, no matter the consequences.
The lower left central incisor tooth 24 is the Doll Archetype which may embody a people pleasing energy of passive compliance. This Tooth Archetype may reflect the consequences of being good at the expense of your own authentic well-being.
Learn more about Tooth Archetypes
Every single adult tooth has an Archetype, and there is a lot more to each Tooth Archetypes that the central incisor examples in this article and the video above. The Tooth Archetypes descriptions and framework are at the heart of my book, The Secret Lives of Teeth: Understanding emotional influences on oral health.
The Secret Lives of Teeth goes beyond the 'spiritual meanings' of teeth to engage with the oral effects of generational trauma, personal stress and adaptive emotional patterns.
It includes:
- A unique and user-friendly system of Tooth Archetypes to guide you through the emotional landscape of your mouth explaining each adult tooth's vulnerabilities and strengths.
- An exceptionally in-depth explanation of Mouth Meridians, with a layperson's guide to working with their energies.
- A directory of Symptoms as Messengers to help translate the underlying influences on symptoms including abscesses, bruxism, cracks and chips, gingivitis, plaque, root canals, and receding gums.
- A toolkit of self-help exercises to make it easier to work with your symptom's messages, relieve symptoms and free yourself from shame and fear about your mouth.
Has a dentist told you that your cavities or receding gums are your fault because you are drinking too much Coke, you don't floss enough or you need to stop breastfeeding your baby? And you know that isn't true!
I'm not going to blame you or shame you.
The underlying causes of your oral health issues are not your fault!
Nature or nurture, ancestry or environment, free will or systemic oppression, unconscious emotions or the degraded food system
These are the factors that make your teeth and gums vulnerable to disease.
Even though your tooth decay and gum disease is not your fault, it is within your power to change.
You can turn your oral health around with natural strategies and healthy habits.

Command Line Stuff
That's right, stuff. Good stuff, mainly.
GPG stuff
Like many nerds, I'm a raging paranoid, especially when I read anything about the NSA, the Supreme Court telling the FBI sure, you can hack anybody's computer, without a warrant. No problem, have at it. So I use a Yubikey, which is a hardware device that you can store your GPG keys on. This is desirable, because you don't have to actually store your GPG keys on your computer. But as with anything (especially gpg), there's a learning curve. The following are a couple of tips that have helped me.
Import GPG keys from a Yubikey on a fresh install
This is basically a three step process:
Import your public key
gpg --import < publickey.txt
Generate stubs
gpg --card-status
and finally, if you are using your Yubikey for ssh authentication, create new .gpg-agent-info
gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support --write-env-file ~/.gpg-agent-info
Bounce gpg-agent on OS X
Every now and then, when my laptop wakes from suspend, there is still a gpg session cached, and it conflicts with the actual card. This requires simply bouncing the service.
pgrep scdaemon
pgrep gpg-agent
kill -9 both processes
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ifdreader.plist
After doing so, just use gpg for whatever you normally do, and you'll be prompted for your pin, as you normally would.
For more info on setting up and using GPG keys on a Yubikey, I would strongly recommend the following site. It walks you through the setup from beginning to end:
