Well, if you're like me, your average run-of-the-mill guy, you probably got all obsessed with the Super Bowl and sad that there will be no football until August…AUGUST!!!….that you might have forgotten that we're one week away from Valentine's Day! That's right, men, I'm wiping the barbecue sauce off my boneless-wing-consuming mouth, tossing the T-shirt for a tie, and returning to the blog-o-sphere as…The Love Doctor.
Yes, time is running out as Valentine's Day is just a week away, but that's still plenty of time to make a dinner reservation, but it is advised that you do not wait any longer than after this weekend as I'm sure most places will be booked for the night. And you don't want to be like a certain guy a few years ago…before he was The Love Doctor…who didn't make Valentine's plans until the day before. It's not fun. So, I quickly searched the one place I knew I would find more restaurant suggestions…Google…and I found a local patron who has offered up her views on good places to go. (Pay attention to the pronoun, men…HER views. It's a lady, so pay attention.)
1. Mama Della's Ristorante (Portofino Bay, Universal Citywalk): this restaurant is described as a little piece of Italy in Central Florida with cooking straight out of the kitchen of that Italian grandmother you never had (but I have…an Italian grandmother, that is). Along with good food and service (paramount in any dining experience), they also have strolling singers to provide to the ambiance of the romantic evening (and I'd be willing to be those guys will be getting a vocal workout on Valentine's Day). Of course, gentlemen, you know a great night might cost a bit, and keep in mind there are parking fees along with going to the restaurant itself. But for your woman, it's worth every penny.
2. Spice (Downtown Orlando): there are two local locations, but if you want to offer romance, you have to go downtown. Not only is the food tremendous, but they also offer great desserts, wine selection, and a back patio that faces Lake Eola. So as you look deep into your woman's eyes, you can be serenaded by the sweet sounds of swans and the fountain as the sun sets behind you. On top of the wonderful atmosphere and food, the prices are reasonable, and since you're picking up the bill, men, you can let her feel like she's had a million-dollar meal without paying a million dollars.
3. Melting Pot (Dr. Phillips): I'm borrowing the descriptions of another patron, but I'm sure any Melting Pot location offers the same as the Dr. Phillips location. But nonetheless, this one is a no-brainer. Yes, it will cost about 100 bucks per couple, but when you love someone as much as you love your woman, is 100 bucks anything at all? Of course not. So go down, enjoy a glass of wine from their long wine list, and share some fondue during the four-course fondue dinner. And while you're at it, you can enjoy each other's company with the ambiance of dim lights and a private table, making you feel like the only couple in the world. And she will feel like the only woman in the world, because for you, she is.
There are lots of options out there. Hopefully I can get a few more out there before it's too late. But gentlemen, heed my words: get your reservations early. No woman doesn't want to feel special on Valentine's Day.

If you are having an outdoor reception you may want consider placing various yard games (boccee ball, horse shoes, croquet, corn hole or even badminton) around the cocktail area. What better way for guests to mingle before dinner than over a game of bocce ball or corn hole in the green grass?! We would suggest putting the games away during dinner and bringing them out again toward the end of the night so you don't have everyone playing games and no one dancing! And one added bonus, your pictures will look so cute with everyone dressed to the nines playing games!

Nigerian security forces failed to prevent the deadly Monday attack by Islamist group, Boko Haram in the capital Abuja where over 40 people were killed and many more injured despite prior warning.
Rescue workers and police gathered body parts and ambulances rushed the wounded to hospital.
It affected quite a number of people because it was still very early in the morning and there was a lot of traffic
As residents of Abuja commuted to work in the early hours of Monday, a busy commuter bus station where people waited on buses, exploded.
Security personnel finally arrived to classify the area and a bomb detonation team combed it for secondary explosives.
Observers say the explosion came from a parked vehicle at about 6:45 a.m.
"It affected quite a number of people because it was still very early in the morning and there was a lot of traffic," National Emergency Management Agency Air Commodore Charles Otegbade told reporters.
Boko Haram have been threatening to attack the capital city.
The Monday morning explosions were Boko Haram's third major attack in Abuja.
Last week, Boko Haram suspects detained at the State Security Service headquarters in Abuja staged a failed jailbreak in which 21 detainees were shot and killed and two agents wounded.
In 2011, the group drove two explosives-laden cars into the lobby of the United Nations office building in Abuja and killed at least 21 people and wounded 60.
Security forces in Nigeria have found it hard to cope with the non-combat battle against Boko Haram.
The group uses human shields, their fighters blend in with regular civilians, and the organisation has substantial backing and funding to operate with impunity across the country.
Boko Haram has limited its attacks to the north and Abuja in the middle of the country.
Since January, it has killed close to 1,500 people.
Boko Haram's violent campaign poses the greatest threat to the cohesion and security of Nigeria.
With increasing activities in the capital city where the seat of government is situated, it is left to be seen how President Goodluck Jonathan's government would respond to the threat to security.

Sounds like she's not happy with how things are right now...
Should I just give her time or what? I messaged her but she isn't replying. She may be upset but she should communicate with me to find a solution.

Alright thanks

A Treatise on Craftsmanship
I've been doing more woodworking lately. This hobby affords me the opportunity to think, in more ways than one. The opportunity for thinking, I'm afraid, has become frightfully rare in today's modern world, because of our tendency to divide our attention into a myriad of activities, as well as our tendency to rely on artificial memory outside ourselves to provide knowledge, instead of collecting it into our own memory.
These are the two kinds of thinking I'm referring to; one, a rational and pragmatic use of the mind for problem solving and improvisation, and the second, and more important, as far as I'm concerned, the existential and reflective kind of thinking, which is the self-awareness that looks at what we do and how we do it and makes a judgement about the quality and worth of it.
I've already written at great length about the value of the rational and pragmatic type of thinking that manifests itself in the use of one's hands. I am certain that there could never be too much said about the value of this tactile form of thinking, nor could enough research be done to uncover the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits thereof; but that is a topic for later discussion, and it is not the subject to which I give myself at present.
Instead I prefer to speak briefly about the existential matters which are manifested when one works with their hands. Doing a woodworking project affords me time to think, but more recently while I work, my mind is drawn to the work itself, and taking note of the type and quality of the work I'm doing.
I've come to realize that there is a kind of work which seeks merely to see the task done, in which the worker would be satisfied merely to be finished, taking no account of the quality to which the work aspires. To me, this seems to be the most common form of work being done today. Many attend their jobs every day to merely finish the work assigned them, in order to collect a paycheck and go home. They take no notice of the quality of work done, and I think there are several reasons for this.
One may be the fact that a workman rarely assigns his name or reputation to the work he does. He is an anonymous cog in the wheel of a greater organization, and so when he fails to apply quality to his work, it is not a reflection on his own reputation but someone else's. This, coupled with the fact that much work done in today's world is temporal and short-lasting, means that if the quality of work is poor, it won't be around for much longer anyway, and even if the work is done well, so few physical objects are created in today's society that even quality work will soon perish because space needs to be cleared on a hard drive somewhere.
I also believe that so little audience is given to the work of quality craftsmanship anymore, so there is little incentive to invest time or money in higher quality work. The prevailing sentiment is that something which can be produced faster and with less cost is more desirable than the thing which is slower and more expensive. This is the age-old "quantity over quality" argument which saw a great rise during the industrial revolution where things which could be produced quickly with little variation and human error had greater profitability than things which took longer to produce. This, I believe gave birth to the worker whose priority was speed rather than quality, because this was the valued commodity in the market.
Gone is the age where craftsmanship is appreciated. It is now quantity, sameness, and cheapness which are the valued ideals of the day, and there are few who are able to admire the work of a skilled craftsman who has spent years honing his craft. Our attentions are so divided. We have very little time to notice details, and where details are overlooked, there is no longer incentive to spend time on them.
We live in the IKEA age, where mass-produced furniture can be sold cheaply and assembled quickly in one day. I believe this to be a primary evidence that speed and cheapness is valued over craftsmanship.
So, when I build furniture by hand, hand-crafting every detail, chiseling every joint and taking note of every grain direction, I can't help but notice a disparity between the majority of things that exist in the world, and the few things that are handcrafted with passionate attention to detail.
I recently built a desk for reading and writing and studying, and rather than use pocket-hole screws and assemble it as quickly as possible, I wanted to learn new things and advance my craft in the process, so I used age-old methods of joinery instead of screws and glue. I focused more on the process of creating than on the final product, because I knew that in doing so, not only would the finished product be far more beautiful, but I would also be able to look on it with pride, knowing that I sucked the marrow out of every part of the process along the way. And so I used mortise and tenon joints, through tenons with wedges, and pins to hold everything together, so that the desk had the spirit of a centuries-old craft, and also so that I could take my time and truly revel in the process of making.
I've come to realize that after making something useful from wood, the use of the thing itself is gratifying, but it pales in comparison to the process of creating it. I've reached the point where I'm almost sad after having finished a project, because the process of making has become so enjoyable in itself. There is a zen-like state of mind that comes when chiseling a perfectly fitting dovetail or mortise and tenon joint; I find myself looking at the wood grain on an almost molecular level, and with it, my own mindset is transported simultaneously to a humble, and yet elevated sphere of consciousness. The focus on small details is an almost out-of-body experience, which connects me to the same techniques of old, which crafted cribs, coffins, and cathedrals. Even though I am outside the realm of the experts I am a partaker in the race of craftsmen of centuries past. This is a transcendent experience.
From what I have observed, most of the things in this world are hastily assembled in an effort to merely finish the work, and are not objects of pride to which a craftsman has signed his name. Many things in this world merely exist, but they fall utterly short of the glory they could be. There is true glory to be found in an object that has been created with a sense of excellence by a master craftsman. This point is almost so understated that we miss the ability to truly revel in the glory of a simple, well-crafted object. This, I believe, is due to our own lack of attention to details, but it is my sincere belief that if we truly take note of the fruit of someone skilled in their craft, we will notice that a touch of craftsmanship can elevate the object to an object of worship.
Ancient monks would mark their work with an insignia that represented the sentiment, "The best I can do, dedicated to God." And they offered their work as an act of worship to God, not just their prayers and piety, but the crafting of books and wines and furniture. They understood that in our making, we reflect the nature of the True Maker, and to treat the process of making with contempt, to rush through it as though they just wanted the work to be finished, would be a failure to steward the gift of work, and to misrepresent the Creator's image in his creation.
The Old Testament law implements a Sabbath, a weekly rest from work which is to reflect the heart of the Creator in his making the world. The idea is that we are designed to work for six days a week, and to work as though our work were dedicate to God himself, so that on the seventh day, we might rest from our work in such a way that we can look back on the work of our week and, like the Maker, see that it is good. If we rush through our work just to get it finished, we may even be ashamed to sign our name to it, and hope to simply move on to the next project. But if we work with a sense of craftsmanship in everything, we can reach our day of rest and look upon our work with pride, knowing we did the best we could.
Work is not merely a necessary evil, it is our highest calling. It is my belief that if we were to slow down and take note of the details of our work and do it with skill and craftsmanship, we would find a greater sense of fulfillment in our work, no matter the kind. The world is full of things which were made to simply exist. But an object that was created with intense care and passion for not only the end product but the process becomes almost transcendental as it serves its purpose in a humble, yet beautiful way. I also believe that people innately feel a sense of craftsmanship when it has been bestowed on a work in a way that is deeply satisfying to the observer, if they have the skill to notice it. To those with an eye to see it, the touch of a craftsman causes an object to be not only a pleasure to use, but also to behold.
When we do it with skill and craftsmanship, our work rings of the highest form of celestial honor. It moves beyond simply being something we earn a living with, and it becomes an act of worship. This is why I firmly believe it is important to make things with craftsmanship.

Hi I'm Daniel Hixson
I was raised in the United States of America. I love helping others. I am an eternal optimist. I am a Mormon.
About Me
I grew up in a large family of 6 kids and 2 parents, who I all love so much. I grew up in Utah, and moved to Missouri while I was going through school. I absolutely love playing the piano and singing. I love playing every kind of sport there is, but football, soccer, and basketball are some of my favorites. I love meeting new people, and I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.
Why I am a Mormon
I was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The Mormon Church) when I was 8 years old. I've grown up in the church my whole life, so attending was somewhat of a robotic decision. During a point in my life I started to make bad choices that were making my life terrible, and eventually I came to the realization that I needed help. I started to take going to church seriously, and I found the help I so desperately needed through the teachings of Jesus Christ. This church is the greatest tool to help us come to know our Savior Jesus Christ, and that is why I am a Mormon.
How I live my faith
Living my faith is something I do daily. Besides serving in local community projects, in my church I am a teacher for children ages 8 - 11 years old. With teaching children they learn from example instead of lecturing. So I make sure that I am a good example to them by serving others, and trying to help those that are in need.

After a first pass through the Minneapolis crime data, it appears reported crimes in Minneapolis increased in 2016. However, they didn't increase by much. In total numbers, reported crimes increased from 21,341 in 2015 to 21,485 in 2016. That's 144 reported crimes.
As a percent, that's less than 1 percent. But of course, this crime data only tells us about the total number of crimes for the city of Minneapolis. It doesn't tell us anything about where the majority of these crimes happened nor does it tell us anything about the types of crimes that are most prominent in these locations. And of course, it really does depend on location.
For example, North Minneapolis has some of the highest crime rates per square mile in the city. But not all neighborhoods and zip codes are created equal when it comes to crime. There are certain neighborhoods that experience much higher crime rates than others.
Donate to The Systems Scientist
The Jordan neighborhood, which resides in the central part of North Minneapolis in the 5th Ward, experienced the highest number of crimes and the highest number of crimes per square mile on the north side in 2015 and 2016. But the number of crimes and the crimes per square mile in the Jordan neighborhood decreased in 2016. In other words, they were higher in 2015.
The Jordan neighborhood is the only neighborhood in Minneapolis that is predominantly black.
In contrast, the crimes per square mile on average are much lower in the Harrison and Sumner Glenwood neighborhoods in the 5th Ward on the north side. And of course, the 4th Ward, which also resides on the north side, has its neighborhoods that are relatively quiet when it comes to crime and others that are active with higher numbers of crimes.
Harrison and Sumner Glenwood are predominantly white.
As my regular readers know, crime is usually associated with other adverse socio-economic factors such as higher rates of unemployment, lower rates of education, and housing issues. Sometimes this is referred to as urban decay or urban blight. But in the case of my research, I am using mathematical methods to lead me to this knowledge of urban environments and their respective discrepancies. But there are instances where I have found crime does exist on its own.
For Minneapolis, this happens in downtown Minneapolis, specifically in the Downtown West neighborhood, which experiences the highest number of crimes in the city month after month.
Why is this so? Well this is a question I will leave for you to ponder. Other questions you might think about as well are, why do these adverse socio-economic factors exist together with very few exceptions? Are policy makers aware of these facts? And if they are, why haven't they done anything about it?

( BBC ) - Reports from Zimbabwe say bakeries have run out of flour and there will be no bread in the foreseeable future.
The Agriculture Ministry has confirmed that this year's wheat harvest yield of 145,000 tonnes is only one third of the country's requirements.
Agriculture Minister Rugare Gumbo is quoted as blaming the shortages on the failings of what he called the "new farmers" created by the land reforms.
Last week, the government announced it would import 100,000 tonnes of wheat.
But even that would still leave Zimbabwe short of its 400,000 tonne target for this year.
And it appears that a shortage of hard currency has already stranded a shipment of 35,000 tonnes of imported wheat at the Mozambican port of Beira.
Last week, Zimbabwe's main bread producer Lobels Bread said it had scaled back its operations by 80% and had only two days' supply of flour left.
The AP news agency says stores across Zimbabwe are now telling customers that bread will not be available until further notice.

I'm in the process of reorganizing, redecorating my apartment right now. Finding a lot of inspiration from Lisa Mayock, one half of Vena Cava, and her Brooklyn apartment.

What is Mindfulness Meditation?
With mindfulness meditation we pay attention to and see clearly whatever is happening in our lives at a particular moment. Bringing reduced stress and developing a more focused mental state of being.
Combining spiritual non-religious meditation, breathing techniques and paying attention to the present moment.
Meditation is simply the practice of paying attention to what we are doing at that precise time. In the Buddhist tradition, this type of attention is called mindfulness.
Meditation and mindfulness can help bring about a natural sense of peace and well-being that can extend to every aspect of our lives.

Railing collapse injures 4 in Albany
ALBANY — Four people were sent to the hospital Monday afternoon after a second-floor porch railing gave way at a Park Avenue home.
City Fire Chief Robert Forezzi Sr. said residents at 607 Park Ave. were trying to raise a couch onto a second-floor apartment from the street when the porch railing gave way Monday afternoon, sending the couch and two people spilling onto the ground below.
Two other people on the ground below were injured.
Forezzi said the people were moving into the apartment at the time. He said the city code enforcement department had been to the scene and not found any code violations.
"It was an accident," said the chief, who did not have an additional details.

Twitchers stunned to see rare American bittern make an appearance at Suffolk nature reserve
PUBLISHED: 09:40 09 April 2018 | UPDATED: 11:03 09 April 2018
Gavin Durrant 2018
Carlton Marshes fund is boosted by twitchers' generosity after American bittern is found
An American star with stripes has lured hundreds of birdwatchers to an East Anglian nature reserve - and has provided a £1million appeal to extend the site with a welcome bittern bonus.
Twitchers from many parts of Britain have been converging on Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Carlton Marshes, near Lowestoft, to see an American bittern - a species rarely seen in Britain and never before in Suffolk. Related to the great bittern for which East Anglian reedbeds are famous, the rare transatlantic visitor is distinguished by its smaller size, longer bill, greater contrast in its wing pattern and, most obviously, prominent brown neck stripes.
Hordes of birdwatchers have visited the reserve, filling its overflow car park almost to capacity, and donating generously to the trust's Sir David Attenborough-backed Broads Appeal. The trust aims to extend Carlton Marshes by 384 acres with the purchase of Share Marsh - which is being frequented by the rare visitor - and Peto's Marsh, together with new infrastructure that includes a new visitor centre.
Trust warden Matt Gooch said about 600 birdwatchers visited on Sunday and others were arriving today. About £400 was raised for the appeal on the first day - boosting the fund which now stood at about £903,000.
Reserve volunteer and keen Waveney area wildlife photographer Gavin Durrant, of Worlingham, triggered the twitch by posting photographs on social media.
"I was half-hoping to photograph bitterns as there had been a few sightings recently and we'd never got a picture of one before at Carlton," he said. "At Share Marsh a Chinese water deer started staring at me and I was watching that when out of the corner of my eye a 'bittern' flew in low."
He took photos of the bird and later viewed them at home, thinking the bittern "looked a bit funny". He posted images on social media that were quickly spotted by Suffolk naturalist Rob Holmes who identified the species as American bittern.
It is not known when the bird arrived on the reserve but many believe it may have crossed the Atlantic last autumn and wandered off course to Europe, spending the winter further south before heading north on its spring migration - and calling in at Carlton. How long it will stay, and its ultimate fate, is also unknown but many birdwatchers across Britain will be hoping it remains long enough for them to see it.

Blackmailed into abducting an American heiress, the Legionnaire soon finds himself trapped in paradise with a fiery, daring beauty who's nothing he expects…and everything he desires. But when he uncovers her own dark secret, Rafe realizes he's made a critical mistake—one that could cost him everything.
Playing body double for a spoiled socialite was supposed to be Holly Ryan's ticket to freedom. But when she's snatched off her yacht by a tall, dark and dangerous stranger, the not-quite-reformed con artist will make a desperate play to turn her captor from enemy to ally, by any means necessary.
Yet as scorching days melt into sultry nights, Holly is drawn to the mysterious captain, with his unexpected sense of honor and his searing touch. When they're double-crossed, they'll have to risk trusting each other in ways they never imagined…because in this deadly game of deception, it's their lives—and hearts—on the line.
A refreshingly witty tale of mistaken identity and a kidnapping gone wrong, Brynn Kelly does a masterful job of drawing her audience in from the very start. Her characters are well-developed and easy to identify with and the plot is both fast paced and fun. Deception Island is one tale of love and adventure that you definitely won't want to miss!

Spanish rice is one of those things that I figure should be easy, but has never really turned out that good for me. I hate the packaged stuff, but love what I get in a Mexican restaurant. This tried and true Spanish Rice recipe is a favorite with my whole family. I forgot to take a picture -- sorry!
Easy Spanish Rice
2 T vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups white rice (I use Jasmine just because I always have that but you can use whatever)
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cups chicken broth
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/4 lime
1 scallion, green and white parts chopped
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the rice, onion and garlic, stir until the rice is coated with the oil, and the onions soften. Add the cumin and salt and stir for one minute (it helps release the spice when you heat it in the pan). Add the chicken broth and canned tomatoes (with juice). Simmer the rice for about 15 minutes, until it absorbs all the liquid. If you need to add more liquid, add 1/2 cup at a time and simmer until gone. When the rice is cooked, top with cilantro and scallion, then squeeze the lime juice over it.
An easy, quick side and a big hit with my family!

SEARAC welcomes federal guidance to ensure ELL in schools0
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 14, 2015 — For the first time in 25 years, the US Department of Education, joined by the Department of Justice, released guidance to ensure English learner (EL) students can "meaningfully participate" and succeed in schools. SEARAC applauds the release of this guidance, which will hold states and school districts accountable to providing legally required resources to more than five million EL students across the country, and will ensure legal repercussions for states and school districts that violate the legal rights of EL students and their families. This guidance will have a significant impact on many Southeast Asian American (SEAA) students and families, as the top five languages spoken by EL students nationwide include two Southeast Asian languages: Vietnamese and Hmong.
English learners, who comprise 10.7% of the total pre-K-12 student population and include many SEAA students, can be found in classrooms throughout the United States. In fact, SEAA languages were ranked among the top five most commonly spoken languages by EL students in 35 states during the 2012-13 school year. Our work with local partners demonstrates that many states are ill-equipped to meet the needs of all ELs. For example, in the state of Washington, the Vietnamese Friendship Association (VFA) found that in 2012, 26% of EL students dropped out of school, compared to 14% statewide (WA Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction). In New Orleans, the Vietnamese American Young Leaders Association (VAYLA) surveyed EL students in six charter high schools and found that 69.5% of those students felt they were not enrolled in an EL class appropriate for their level of language development.
We appreciate the administration's commitment to the civil rights protections of EL students through the release of this guidance. Of particular note, the guidance provides a comprehensive summary of:
While we applaud the clarification of these obligations and believe such measures, if implemented and enforced, will support the success of EL students, we still have some concerns not addressed by the guidance. These include highly qualified teacher training and continuing professional development, transparency on the effectiveness of EL programs, and making these resources more accessible to the families most impacted by this guidance. The departments can help make the effectiveness of EL programs more transparent and support students' "meaningful participation" in school by:
SEARAC praises this recent guidance from the Department of Education and the Department of Justice for standing up for the civil rights of EL students and their families. We hope that the guidance allows us, as a nation, to shine a light on schools and districts that serve EL students with great integrity, and provide legal recourse for students and families when schools violate the rights that our EL communities rightfully and legally deserve.

THE EXPENDABLES 3 was a bit of a financial disappointment, making less than its predecessors and nearly bombing at the domestic box office - but it still did well enough thanks to international ticket sales. Writer/star Sylvester Stallone seemed determined to course correct with THE EXPENDABLES 4, which was also announced as being the final film in the franchise... but then things fell apart.
Last March, Stallone dropped out of THE EXPENDABLES 4 over disagreements with producer Avi Lerner, with reports saying that the pair "could not find common ground on a new director, on the script and on certain qualitative elements of the film." According to an insider who spoke to Deadline, Stallone and Lerner "often disagree and eventually work it out over a couple of cigars". While it looked like they weren't going to work things out this time, Lerner held on to hope.
And apparently he was right to. Just under a year later, Stallone has made it Instagram official: The Expendables team is coming back for another film... and will be joined by a couple new members.
Presumably this means that Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, and Terry Crews will be back, since they were in all three films with Stallone. Wesley Snipes, Kelsey Grammer, Harrison Ford, Glen Powell, Antonio Banderas, Victor Ortiz, Ronda Rousey, Kellan Lutz, and Jet Li are possibilities as well, and maybe even Bruce Willis, unless Stallone has still written him off as greedy and lazy. It'd be good to see Mickey Rourke come back, too.
It's always interesting to watch the casts of these films come together, and I know a lot of fans have actors they really want to see share the screen with the Expendables. Personally, I'm hoping that Nicolas Cage will work his way into one of these films.
THE EXPENDABLES 4 had originally been expected to film, partly in China, two years ago for a 2017 release. We'll let you know how things go for it now that it has been revived.

Blackboard allows you to make certain changes to the appearance of the course, including the default page students see, the way the menus work, and the color scheme. You can also add a course banner. To do this, you need to visit the "Teaching Style" page. In the course you wish to modify (appearance is changed on a course-by-course basis), with Edit Mode turned on (top right of the screen), click on "Customization" in the Control Panel on the bottom left. Then choose "Teaching Style." On this page you will see several ways of changing the look of your course.
One consistent frustration is the sizing of images for banners. Blackboard will take whatever size image you give it and display, with the dimensions of the original file. Therefore, you need to re-size the image (using Photoshop or Gimp) to the desired dimensions before uplaoding the image.
For the full explanation of banners and manipulating the way your course looks, see here.

On this page I'll try to ask my self questions you might wonder about.
Why have you made this page?
Mikael 2000 has been created for fun, something to work on when I wannt to. I could have created a site about something that many people are intressted in maybe get a lot of visitors. But then it wouldn't be fun any more, sites with a lot of visitors require a lot of uppdates.
What's up with all of those flying things?
That's the DHTML (Dynamic HyperText Markup Language), it's not here for any special purpose, I just wannt the site to look cool :-).
What about all those popups, is this site made for making money?
This page hasn't been done for commercial purpose, the popups are from Tripod and V3 from which I get the webspace and adress. If I for some reason would try to make money I would notify my visitors.
My question isn't answerd here, why?
I probably havn't thought about you're question, just send it to me and I'll see what I can do.

Need help building integrations?
Flowgear operates a Professional Services team to help organizations that don't have the time or skills to create or manage integrations. Services include project definition, creating and implementing integration workflows, and support on an existing integrations

What is a Workflow?
A workflow in Flowgear is the sequence of steps to perform an integration – typically it involves pulling data from a source, then some data transformation or validation, and finishing by pushing the data into a target system. Flowgear workflows are created in the Flowgear Console which includes a visual designer for building and maintaining integrations.
For example, an integration that takes customer and order data from Salesforce, and loads that data as accounts and orders into Sage One, would comprise two workflows – one for customers/accounts, the other for orders.
Once design of a Workflow is complete, it can be activated in one of three ways:
What is a Site?
A Site provides isolation between our clients. Assets such as endpoint connections and Workflows are associated with a specific Site. User roles are also managed per Site.
Most organisations use only a single Site regardless of geographic locations of services and apps. However, some choose to split integration workfloads into separate Sites in order to isolate them from each other, typically according to Workflow function.
Can I purchase additional support?
Yes – Please get in touch with us to discuss an appropriately sized support plan.
Also, if your organisation doesn't have developers available to create the solutions you need, you can engage the Flowgear Professional Services team to have the integrations built for you.
I can't find the Connector I need
If you don't see the Connector for the app or service you need, please get in touch with us.
In most instances, it's also not necessary to have a Product Connector in order to integrate. For example, Connectors such as Web Request can be used to integrate via a RESTful API or the SQL Database Connectors can be used to query information directly.
If you're a developer, we've also made it very easy to build your own Connectors.
Can I purchase multiple subscriptions of a plan?
Yes – if you've exceeded the number of Workflows permitted on a plan but aren't ready to jump to the next plan up, you can purchase additional subscriptions of the existing plan.
How does Revision Management work?
Every time a Workflow is saved, the Workflow revision number is incremented and the old version is retained. Developers are able to view either the current (head) revision or browse back to prior versions. Read more about Revision Management.
How does Release Management work?
Release Management allows developers to control when Workflows are promoted to a different Flowgear Environment. This capability allows enhancements to be made to existing Workflows within a Test Environment so as not to disrupt Production use. Combined with Revision Management, it is also possible to roll back to earlier versions of a Workflow when needed. Read more about Release Management.
Are other log retention policies available?
Yes – clients may customize the log retention period on the Standard and Premium plans to between 1 and 90 days for Standard or between 1 and 180 days for Premium.
As a developer, why should I use Flowgear rather than hand-coding integrations?
As a developer, your most precious resource is time. With Flowgear, you will drastically reduce the time to develop, deploy and maintain integrations, freeing you to focus your time and effort on the apps you're building rather than the integrations it needs to support.

Our teachers inspire their students through the passion they have for their subject areas. They give generously of their time, not only in the classroom but also through extra-curricular activities allowing them to develop positive relationships with students.
We understand that not all children can be top of the class, however our core purpose is to help our pupils realise their full potential. Our teachers deliver differentiated learning programs that supports individual learning styles and is in line with 'best practice'. With outstanding teaching, in an exciting and challenging environment, the students love to learn and they succeed academically, with most entering their first choice for post-secondary studies.
Our ability to help students achieve their very best is reflected by the measure of 'value-added'. 'Value added' indicates how well a school has developed pupils from one bench mark testing to another, measuring how much they have improved, whatever their ability. It gives a far better indication of a school's overall effectiveness than traditional attainment measures.

2017 HSC Success
We proudly congratulate our year 12 students of 2017 for their excellent performance and commitment in this year's Higher School Certificate. Nowra Anglican College has deservedly been named the top performing school across the Shoalhaven and South Coast.
We have many wonderful stories of students' overall results and pathways for their post secondary school life. Many students joined us on the day of the release of results to share their good news with their teachers. Equally, there was again much to celebrate with an increase in the percentage of Band 6 results achieved by many students across a wide number of subjects. 2017 sees again our upward trend of significant growth in many subject areas. Staff are incredibly proud of the achievements of each student.
A comparison of student performance versus state performance across courses is demonstrating increased positive outcomes and the continuation of excellent results for our students at Nowra Anglican College. Our year 12 students have worked hard towards these improvements and we commend them for their perseverance and positive outlook.
There is much happening at Nowra Anglican College that has heightened the focus and performance in academics as well as the extracurricular activities that the school offers our students to develop and achieve to their best. Our strategies of providing mentors for each Year 12 student, a focus on applying the "Ten Percent on Top" principle to student achievement, our focus on student well-being and maintaining high expectations are working, with our students flourishing in their attitude, skills and performance.
Congratulations to the students and teachers of Nowra Anglican College on the wonderful HSC results in 2017. Our school is identified as one with outstanding academic "value add" allowing all students at all levels to achieve their best.

Class of 2016 – Outstanding HSC Results
The NAC community can be delighted by the achievements of the Class of 2016. Our Year 12 cohort has achieved outstanding results in their examinations, gaining the greatest number of Band 5 and 6 results in the history of the College.
Band 6 results have been awarded in a wide range of subjects. Of particular note are the achievements of our students in Biology, Business Studies, Drama, English Extension 2, Legal Studies, Modern History, PDHPE, Society and Culture and Visual Arts. These subjects warrant special mention in terms of their results being at least 20 percentage points higher than the State average for the achievement of Bands 5 and 6.
The following table highlights the achievements of our students attaining results in Bands 5 and 6 compared to the State.

Of the 9 000 or so students who submitted Bodies of Work for the HSC Visual Arts Examination, Logan Morthorpe was nominated and selected for ARTEXPRESS for his intuitive and creative artwork.
Looking at the broad picture, we find the results are strong. 2016 has again seen a significant increase in ATAR points with 36% of our cohort achieving a mark over 80. For Extension subjects 92% of our students' results were in the top two bands.
Further mention must be made of our outstanding Visual Arts and Extension 1 History results. Every student in these classes gained a Band 6 or 5, a result well above the state average and this reflects positively on the efforts of these students and their teachers.
We continue to focus on all students achieving their absolute best and raising academic standards for the entire cohort. The programs and changes that have been implemented in both the pastoral and academic streams of the College have proven to be successful in bringing about this improvement.
Our Collegians consistently talk about connectedness with their teachers in the College, the sense of community that is created and how this relationship has helped them to succeed in their schooling.
The HSC Class of 2016 has done itself, and the College, proud. The results are well-deserved and are a testament of the students' hard work and focus, the quality of the staff who guided them and the families who have supported and encouraged. We send our students out into the next chapter of their lives knowing they have great foundations for success in life.
NAPLAN Results 2013
The NAPLAN Report provides information about a child's achievement in the domains of Reading, Persuasive Writing, Language Conventions (including Spelling and Grammar & Punctuation) and Numeracy (tested in two strands: Data, Measurement, Space & Geometry and Number, Patterns & Algebra).
The test results are given in skill bands that indicate levels of achievement. Please note that the six bands used for reporting student achievement for each of Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 are part of one continuous scale (ranging from 1 to 10) that spans all four Year levels. The common scale is intended to provide an indication of progress as your child completes NAPLAN in successive years.
The report also provides information on how each student has performed in relation to other students in his or her Year Group. This is indicated through comparison with the School and State averages for each domain.
Our NAPLAN results for 2013 were encouraging. Reading results in Junior School continue as strength, with our students performing well above the state average. Of significant note was the performance of the boys in those two Year groups. At a time when boys tend to be performing a little below the state average, our boys in Years 3 and 5 were well above the state average. Similar pleasing results were gained in writing. Numeracy results for our Year 3 students was also very pleasing, with our girls well above state average. In fact girls around NSW were generally below the overall average, so our girls should be proud of their efforts. Our Year 5 boys also gained pleasing results, performing well above the state average.
In the Senior School our Year 7 boys were also performing above the state average for Year 7 students in numeracy, while our girls showed they were a match for girls from all over the state, as were our Year 9 boys. Our Year 9 girls acquitted themselves well, showing that they are well ahead of state averages for all students. Our Year 7 students also performed well in reading and writing in the NAPLAN tests. The girls were well above the state average in writing, and our boys were clearly performing better than other boys around the state. The reading levels of our Year 7 students also showed that they were above state average, with our girls again well above the state average. Our Year 9 students showed similar results, with both boys and girls outperforming their peers in reading and writing around the state, and the girls well above the state average.

PAOBA 2013 was another good show for Kendall Creek Farms
We limited our show string due to stress poop in the boy pasture from MAPACA, but the girls represented the farm well. Our last two purchases, Riley and Red Slip both took second place in very large classes. One losing the eventual Champion and the other to the Reserve Champion in their color classes. Always a bride's maid I guess. Isla Saona took her normal position at the top of the class in the yearling brown females and then on to win her 4th Color Championship. Isla's next stop is a date with Crystal Spartan later this summer. Her halter show days may be over, but her fleece is certain to be out there this year, and her cria are destine to take the alpaca community to the next level.

Q: How do I begin registering my camper(s)?
A: On the top of the page, you will see a registration tab. Clicking on that tab will bring you to a new page where you will create a username and password if you are a new family. If you are a returning family, you will use your log-in information from last year.
Q: What if I have a question during the registration process?
A: Contact the Administrative Coordinator via e-mail at email@example.com. Please allow up to 48 hours during regular business hours for a response.
Q: When is the registration deadline?
A: Registration for each session closes two Fridays (10 days) before each session begins. For example, if your camper is attending CCC Session 1 (June 18-22), registration will close Friday, June 8th at 12pm for that session.
Q: Why do I have a mandatory Monday Morning Parent Check- In?

Patent Troll Kills Open Source Project On Speeding Up The Computation Of Erasure Codes
from the promoting-the-progress dept
The most prominent prior art invalidating this patent is the RAID6 (one of the most commonly used Erasure Code) implementation of the linux kernel. In an article dated 2004 (i.e. ten years before the patent was granted to StreamScale) it is described to be optimized as follows : For additional speed improvements, it is desirable to use any integer vector instruction set that happens to be available on the machine, such as MMX or SSE-2 on x86, AltiVec on PowerPC, etc. Where SSE2 is the acronym of Streaming SIMD Extensions 2. The patent cites Anvin aticle's but only to state the problem and does not acknowledge it also contains the solution.Even so, StreamScale apparently bullied the open source project's creator, Professor James Plank, into removing his repositories and saying he is no longer working on the software project. No lawsuit was filed, but Plank posted a statement that makes it clear he was threatened by StreamScale and agreed to do this to avoid a lawsuit. Apparently, StreamScale also threatened USENIX for merely publishing a paper by Plank detailing the concepts in his software.
There is the only marginally complicating factor that Plank, apparently, was a consultant for StreamScale a few years ago -- leading the company to argue that his research, publications and code pulled from information he had learned while working with the company. But, again, these ideas both have clear and known prior art and do not appear to be patentable subject matter. And the end result: less ability to innovate (or even research!) these sorts of things, and some important open source code no longer being supported.
After a failed attempt to bully USENIX, StreamScale intimidated (i.e. there was no lawsuit and therefore no ruling) James Plank, a known researcher in the field, also author of widely used Free Software libraries using the same techniques as those described in the linux kernel. James Plank agreed to publish the following on his web site as part of a settlement, presumably in exchange for a promise from StreamScale to not threaten to sue him in the future.
On this page I (James Plank) am providing notice that:
- GF-Complete and Jerasure versions 2.0 and later are no longer supported.
- StreamScale, Inc. offers a similar solution for commercial purposes.
- I offer no representations or warranties in general about StreamScale's products.
- I have verified that StreamScale's solution is faster than GF-Complete or Jerasure in at least some respects.
- StreamScale, Inc. asserts that the use of GF-Complete (particularly as part of Jerasure 2.0 or later) or any similar software, method or code for erasure coding infringes StreamScale's issued United States Patent No. 8,683,296.
- I express no opinion on StreamScale's claims, but I believe that parties should be aware that StreamScale asserts such claims.
The repositories on which James Plank published the software implementing the ideas from his research papers ( gf-complete and jerasure ) have been removed the same day, meaning James Plank had to agree to never work on implementing erasure coded software in the future.

Sona Diabate 20020125 - Paris BBC Radio Session
Andy Kershaw live from Paris for his BBC Radio 3 show broadcasted 2002.Jan.25. (source: peel.wikia.com)
Tiro, Guinea in 1959. Her father, the famous singer Hadj Djeli Fodé Diabaté, passed on their family's music legacy by teaching Sona to sing and to play the balafon. After attending school for several years, Sona began her career as a griot singer. Her music training included singing with and learning from Miriam Makeba, who was living in Guinea at the time. She joined Africa's first all-female band "Les Amazones de Guinée", as singer and rhythm guitar player and plays on their famous 1983 live recording "Au Couer de Paris" (one track on very first post).
During the 1980s Sona kept turing with Les Amazones and recorded several solo albums. Unfortunately in 1990 Sona developed a serious illness which took her three years to recover from. She made a great comeback, however, in 1996 with "Gare-Gare". Invitations to play in the USA and African festivals in Europe soon followed.
She became known to a wide audience in Germany when she performed as opening act for Miriam Makeba and Papa Wemba at concerts in Berlin and Wurzburg in 1996.
After a year-long stay in Guinea, she returned to Europe with twelve new songs, four of them featured on Argile's "Mandingo Festival" (2000, CD), the remaining on her solo CD "Tounkana" (2001?) and Sona joined the German
world music group Argile well-equipped to display her talents.
Here to get you in the mood one song from her session:

And another thanks!ReplyDelete
Very nice concert, Sona is elegant, however the presentation of Khershaw cooling stage with comments on political issues, I would have thrown him to the crocodiles.Replies
Kershaw's comment about the crocodiles is not correct, but don't be so harsh by throwing him.
At least he let the music be heard on the radio!!
the poor crocodiles-they certainly deserve a better meal than this strange specimen of Khershaw peacock.Delete
mangue many thanks for the Sona file
keep on
@ mangueReplyDelete
An artist ready to enter the scene has exposed all their sensitivity, they deserve to be treated with care, certain first world jokes, they deserved an answer in the same range, only the intelligence of Sona Diabaté and her demonstrated exquisite education saved the obstacle.
But I prefer to return the joke, to point the indelicacy.

Funkstown Volunteer Fire Co. officials expressed concerns Monday night to the mayor and town council after hearing rumors that the low-band analog communications system used to dispatch emergency calls was going to be shut down in two months.
County officials have no intention of shutting down the low-band analog system, Charlie Summers, the county's deputy director of emergency services, said in a phone interview after the meeting.
The county phased in a new digital-communications system in 2010 for police, fire and rescue, Summers said. Emergency calls are dispatched on the digital system and simulcast on the analog system.
Funkstown Fire Chief Dave "Buck" Fraley brought concerns about the rumors to the mayor and council Monday night. In case the analog system was to be shut down, Fraley asked town officials if the fire company could activate the sirens, which are on top of Town Hall and at the firehouse, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to alert fire company members of fire calls.
That's because firefighters have not yet received the digital-alert pagers that would notify them of an emergency call, Fraley said.
Currently, the sirens only go off between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., said Dale Hill, fire company president. People in the vicinity of the town can hear them, fire company officials said.
After learning later Monday night that the plan to shut down the analog system was just a rumor, Fraley said the fire company would not need to extend the hours for the sirens.
Summers said parts for the analog system are getting more scarce, but county officials intend to keep it operating as long as possible.
The new digital-alert pagers still need to be drive-tested for coverage throughout the county, Summers said. Then, they will need to be programmed, he said.

"A group of community organisers and trade unionists are willing to plan a Organisers Summit in the UK (with guests from France, Germany, Italy, the US…).
This event would be dedicated to those who wish to learn more about organising techniques, and to strengthen their daily fight for social justice and the common good.There are many organising techniques and strategies out there that could benefit the campaigns we lead, but we all rarely take time to gather and share what we know.
This is why such a Summit would be a great opportunity for activists, organisers and trade unionists to meet and learn from one another.To make this happen, our group is looking for new members who would be interested in contributing to shape and organise the Summit with us.

I went to see Karkwa last night, continuing the tour behind their album Les tremblements s'immobilisent. The last time I saw the band was before Les tremblements came out, so it was interesting to see what two years (give or take) on the road have done.
Karkwa's always been a tight band, and they've only gotten tighter. Guitarist Louis-Jean Cormier is still coming out of a sonic school of guitar playing reminiscent of the Edge or Jonny Greenwood, but his voice - as a singer and a songwriter - has gotten stronger. Their first album, Le pensionnat des établis, owed as much to Rage Against the Machine and Red Hot Chili Peppers as to Radiohead. Last night proved they're developing an original sound, and they've moved away from the funk-rock à la québecois (which they did admirably, I must say) and adopted an indie/post-rock vibe similar to their Montreal cohorts Patrick Watson, People for Audio and Pawa Up First (the latter counts Karkwa percussionist Julien Sagot as a member). Keyboardist François Lafontaine was impressive as always, adding to Cormier's textures and occasionally unleashing an actuelle-inspired rip or two.
Most of the music was drawn from Les tremblements, along with some new songs introduced and "Hold-Up" from Le pensionnat. I was impressed by their consistently creative harmonies and their willingness to extend their song forms. Both sets were introduced with soundscape creations (d)evolving into one of their tunes, and they tacked on an intriguing coda to "La marche."The penchant for odd meters has turned into an embrace of 3/4 or 6/8, and the genre-jumping of their first album has matured into a better synthesis of various influences. From the new songs they played last night, I look forward to Karkwa's future.
