Clinton and Sanders: Who's the bigger lefty?
It's been a long time since we've had dueling Democratic presidential candidates trying to prove who's the bigger liberal. But that's just what's going on between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton as they battle it out heading into the New Hampshire primary.
It takes you back to the flower power days of Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern.
The big lean to the left is a far cry from when I worked with Jesse Jackson on his presidential campaign in 1988. Back then our goal was to make Jackson out to be as mainstream as possible. To look seasoned and responsible.
That was the strategy that got Bill Clinton elected twice, and Barack Obama used it, too. Playing to the middle and touting experience was also the role Hillary Clinton embraced coming out of the gate. She presented herself that way clear until December, when Sanders started opening up on her over her ties to Wall Street.
Suddenly, Clinton changed her billing from the pragmatic candidate to the "progressive who can get things done." The new role, however, doesn't fit with either her record or her reputation.
And Clinton has another challenge: You can't send out long, nuanced positions on a tweet. They don't work well as a slogan or a joke that can go viral and pop up on everyone's smartphone.
Sanders, on the other hand, is truly the mobile device candidate. Just about everything he says, from "universal health care" to "free college for everyone," can easily fit into 140 characters or a 30-second sound bite.
I stopped by Ruth's Chris Steak House the other night and was told at the door that Mayor Ed Lee was there as well.
"At your old table," the maitre d' said.
"Oh so it's now my old table," I replied.
I had some time to kill before Sonia arrived, so I went over and had a drink with my replacement.
No sooner had I sat down than the maitre d' comes over and says, "Mr. Brown, I seated five big black guys in one dining room, and three other big black guys who just came in are in the other dining room."
"Why'd you separate them?" I asked.
"One group are Carolina Panthers, the other group is from Denver."
I grabbed the mayor and said, "Come on, let's go."
We went to the Panthers' table first. They were all eating steaks and every side dish they had on the menu.
"You're staying in San Jose. Why are you up here?" I asked one of them.
"Have you ever tried finding a good steak in San Jose?" came the reply.
Then we went over to the Broncos table. Same thing.
Given the the guys' size and outfits and crazy hair, I'm sure half the diners thought they were going to be robbed at any minute.
But once Lee and I said our hellos, everyone figured out who they were, and out came the pens for autographs and phones for selfies.
Speaking of football, we do have two hometown teams who are being celebrated this Super Bowl weekend. City College of San Francisco, under first-year coach Jimmy Collins, as in son of Judge Jim Collins, was honored by the mayor Friday for winning the state championship.
The Mission High School Bears were honored for their state championship as well.
Local teams. Local grown. Local pride.
Movie time: "Fifty Shades of Black." This takeoff on last year's moderately entertaining "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a complete waste of time. It's not funny. It's not erotic. It's just plain filthy. And unimaginative to boot.
There were five of us in the theater when the curtain went up. By the end only two of us were left, and neither of us waited for the credits. We didn't want to know who made this mess.
"45 Years." This drama about a 45-year marriage goes on for 93 minutes. If they had cut 90 minutes of it, they might have had a good movie. Instead we have no real plot, no good visuals, no memorable dialogue. Even the the musical score is boring.
But if your idea of meaningful is watching someone repeatedly walking the dog, or repeated scenes of them taking off their coat in the hallway after coming back from walking the dog, this film is for you.
It seems the homeless can get a tent more easily these days than a handout of money. People are passing out tents to the homeless faster than the city can get the homeless into shelters.
In fact, once they get a tent, they see no need to go to the shelter.
The result: Blocks all around town are sporting tents. I've even seen them popping up in Chinatown, which is a first.
I asked one tent tenant, "Why don't you guys go back to the Tenderloin?"
"It's too dangerous."
Too dangerous for the homeless guys? What a town.

Arriving at Grand Baymen Gardens
by Jessica Wolfe
Once we land, I gather my belongings, catch a taxi, and take a quick ride to ECI's Exotic Caye office. I'm set up to stay at one of two ECI resort locations on the Caye, the Grand Baymen Gardens Community. Upon receiving my key, a fellow Grand Baymen resident named Dennis offers me a ride to the resort in his golf cart. Grateful for the help, I load up my bags and hop in.
Dennis has been living in Belize for over 20 years. His skin is tanned and his words are saturated with good humor and joy. "You've caught me just as I was about to make a rum and coke," he jests."It's a short trip from the office to the resort, no more than 5 blocks, but Dennis and I talk like old buddies about life on the Caye.
"I had no clue I would wind up where I am," Dennis muses. "Not a clue."
As we pass his building, we stop to catch up with his neighbor, Carolyn, who emanates the same warmth as Dennis. She welcomes me to Grand Baymen and tells me to come knock on her door anytime, for any reason. I can already feel the strong sense of community that makes ECI and its core values so unique.
Dennis, ever the gentleman, makes sure I arrive at my room alright. "I would carry your bags in for you, dear, but I'm afraid I just wouldn't be able to. (My bag is huge.) He does, however, open the door and show me how to turn on the air-conditioning unit.
Once inside, I quickly unpack my books and toiletries, try my hardest not to get caught up exploring the condo, and slip out to catch what little evening light is left. It is now almost 6pm, and the coastal town is illuminated in a soft, purplish hue.
When I arrive in a new place, it's my personal custom to take long, wandering walks - they're always helpful in shaping and sharpening my mental image of an area.
Tonight, I choose to follow the muffled but energetic sounds of nightlife. Sure enough, a few blocks down the road from my room at Grand Baymen, I glimpse the lively beachfront of Ambergris Caye. The warmth of the evening air, the sound of Johnny Cash mixed with reggae, all set to the backdrop of an endless ocean view- here comes that "caught up in the moment" feeling again.
Feeling more in a reflective, observational state of mind, I set off down the shore away from the bustling noise of a few larger restaurant bars. As I make my way along, I see a group of families down by the water's edge- there are children kicking around a soccer ball and chasing after their parents.
It's just after passing this group that I begin to notice how dark it's becoming and how there doesn't seem to be many people out ahead. Feeling sort of like a yo-yo on a string, I do a sharp 180 and pass by the group again. This time, however, they wave me over.
Within a few short minutes, I've shaken hands with everyone, learned far more names than I'm capable of remembering, and have been offered a chair to sit in as well as a local beer I learn that these families get together to have a beach barbeque each and every Sunday.
Today, they grilled up some chicken; the plan for next Sunday is to catch fish in the ocean for their meal.
"This is a place of peace and freedom," a man named Willis states, out of breath from chasing around two giggling 8-year-olds. "Drop me out of a plane anywhere in Belize and - as long as I have a parachute - I will be a happy man."
One woman and her husband immigrated to Belize from Mexico, "This is unlike any other county because of its beautiful reefs, or arrecifes. You will need to explore some."
"You should feel safe here, especially in Ambergris Caye. You're in good hands," her husband added.
Listening to the sway of the palm leaves, inhaling the salty aroma of the sea, watching the children play and the water glisten in the light of a starry sky, I reflect on where life has taken me today.
From the icy cold of Dallas, to the impersonal rush and bustle of large airport hubs, to the warmth of the beach and the palpable sense of community I feel sitting in this circle of happy Sunday barbecuers; I feel like Dennis in the sense that, waking up this morning, I never could have imagined I would wind up in this moment.

Parabola Calculator
Any time you come across a quadratic formula you want to analyze, this parabola calculator will be the perfect tool for you. Not only will it provide you with the parabola equation in the standard form and vertex form, but also calculate the parabola vertex, focus and directrix.
What is a parabola?
Parabola is a U-shaped symmetrical curve. Its main property is that every point lying on a parabola equidistant from both a certain point, called the focus of a parabola, and a line, called its directrix. It is also the curve that corresponds to quadratic equations.
The axis of symmetry of a parabola is always perpendicular to the directrix and goes through the focus point. The vertex of a parabola is the point at which the parabola makes its sharpest turn; it lies halfway between the focus and the directrix.
A real-life example of a parabola is the path traced by an object in projectile motion.
The parabola equation in vertex form
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
y = ax² + bx + c. You can use this vertex calculator to transform that equation into the vertex form, which allows you to find the important points of the parabola - the vertex and the focus.
The equation of a parabola in the vertex form is
y = a(x-h)² + k, where:
- a is the same as the a coefficient in the standard form,
- h is the x-coordinate of the parabola vertex, and
- k is the y-coordinate of the parabola vertex.
You can calculate the values of h and k from the equations below:
h = - b/(2a)
k = c - b²/(4a)
Parabola focus and directrix
The parabola vertex form calculator also finds the focus and directrix of the parabola. All you have to do is to use the following equations:
- Focus x-coordinate:
x₀ = - b/(2a)
- Focus y-coordinate:
y₀ = c - (b² - 1)/(4a)
- Directrix equation:
y = c - (b² + 1)/(4a)
How to use the parabola equation calculator: an example
- Enter the coefficients a, b and c of the standard form of your quadratic equation. Let's assume that the equation was
y = 2x² + 3x - 4, what makes a = 2, b = 3 and c = -4.
- Calculate the coordinates of the vertex, using the formulas listed above:
h = - b/(2a) = -3/4 = -0.75
k = c - b²/(4a) = -4 - 9/8 = -5.125
- Find the coordinates of the focus of the parabola. The x-coordinate of the focus is the same as of the vertex (x₀ = -0.75), and the y-coordinate is:
y₀ = c - (b² - 1)/(4a) = -4 - (9-1)/8 = -5
- Find the directrix of the parabola. You can either use the parabola calculator to do it for you or you can use the equation:
y = c - (b² + 1)/(4a) = -4 - (9+1)/8 = -5.25

Lessons from Dr. Seuss
My dear friend of over 24 years, Lesley, once said to me that kids should read more Dr. Seuss instead of fairy tales. I couldn't agree more. I have yet to meet anyone who had a prince sweep them off their feet and carry them away to castle. Instead, life is a little more like green eggs and ham with a little Whoville.
You're on your own
And you know what you know.
And you're the one
Who'll decide where you go.
I'm wiser than a year ago and I know where I'm headed. I have a goal in my mind and I've decided to make it happen.
Happy Trails and Happy Running,
Recovery Update: My jogging around the house is significantly less painful. However, I'm not ready to push it just yet. The Chicago marathon is still far away and I'm keeping my focus on yoga and strength. On another note, I highly recommend downloading the Nike Training Club app. They have some awesome workouts.

Hotel Sets Up Adoption Programme For Pool Inflatables
Summer is a time of rejection for pool and beach inflatables, they were once loved but they get thrown to the poolside as soon as the temperature goes down and the tourists go back home.
But thankfully a sanctuary for discarded inflatables has opened up in Majorca to deal with the overwhelming numbers of blow-up companions left behind.
It's an understandable thing, throwing away inflatables at the end of a holiday instead of putting in the extra effort to stuff it into your terribly packed suitcase to go home. If wasteful.
[ooyala autoplay="true" code="NvYjV1YzE6yFGkYqdkT__C5XyVT3gFq-" player_id="5df2ff5a35d24237905833bd032cd5d8″ auto="true" width="1920″ height="1080″ pcode="twa2oyOnjiGwU8-cvdRQbrVTiR2l"]
But think of the trauma of the inflatables, what about how they feel being left behind.
Hotels.com has the answer to this moral conundrum, as they've opened a sanctuary to allow guests to 'adopt' the forgotten inflatables and provide them with a loving new home.
Isabelle Pinson, from Hotels.com, said:
A pool inflatable shouldn't just be for summer which is why we're launching an adoption programme for these lost and rejected flotation devices.
We've teamed up with Hipotels Gran Playa Del Palma to set up an inflatable sanctuary, where guests can adopt and re-use left behind inflatables, giving them a new lease of life.
The accommodation experts have also polled around 2,000 holidaymakers to get to the bottom of the inflatable epidemic.
They found almost half of travellers have bought an inflatable for a getaway, but only 28 per cent have taken the floaty friends home with them at the end of the trip.
This is despite an average of six hours and 52 minutes spent playing with an inflatable during a typical summer break.
Holidaymakers apparently buy around one inflatable every year, with the classic doughnut being the most popular choice.
Coming in at a respectable second place is the definitive lilo, with a slightly more exotic crocodile-shaped inflatable coming in third.
Interestingly, a dragon-shaped inflatable is the inflatable that holidaymakers are most likely to pack up in prep for their next summer outing the following year.
Perhaps holidaymakers like to pretend they're Daenerys riding a dragon in the pool under the hot rays of a Mediterranean sun.
There is only one item which tops the list of the most left behind holiday accessory and that is sun tan lotion.
It's understandable that Hotels.com hasn't set up an adoption agency for sun cream because that would be pretty gross.
The poll was carried out through OnePoll and found sunglasses, travel adaptors, and underwear were also among belongings commonly left behind following a vacation.

HYDE United have further strengthened their squad for the new season by making a treble swoop for Greg Challender, Phil Salt and Neil Tolson.
Tigers boss Steve Waywell has brought in the terrific trio, hoping they will solve the midfield and striker dilemmas at Ewen Fields, while also re-signing Lee Evans.
While Salt and Tolson make the trip from Conference football, the most intriguing capture is that of Challender from Ashton United. He was expected to sign for Hyde as the Advertiser went to press, adding promotion know-how to the Tigers squad.
Waywell said: "I know Greg and a few of the players know him as well - he lives near me and Tony (Ellis, Waywell's assistant) so we got talking to him. We asked if he would be interested as he's the kind of player we need. He's a competitor, has tremendous desire, has league experience at Preston and knows the non-league scene inside out - he knows what it's all about and what's needed."
Former Oldham Athletic men Salt and Tolson signed at the end of last week from Leigh RMI and Halifax Town respectively. Waywell is both pleased and surprised to have both men signed up for the new campaign.
He said: "Salty is only 24 and could still play at Conference level. He's a fantastic passer and I know the fans will like him because they like players who can pass and are used to teams and players who can pass. If I was honest with you, I didn't think he would sign for us - I thought he would stay in the Conference.
"Tolson's 29 and he's still got a lot to offer. He's a local lad who played for Oldham. At Halifax last season he scored a few goals and again it's another good signing. He could have stayed at Halifax but came here and looked at the set-up and the club's ambition.
"The club wants to get back where it belongs - it's a lovely set-up and the crowd is second to none."

In politics, as in everything else (maybe more so in politics!), no good deed goes unpunished. When state Representative Mark White (R-Memphis) and Senator John Stephens (R-Huntington), co-chairs of the Tennessee legislature's West Tennessee Economic Development Caucus (WTEDC), decided to schedule four nonpartisan events in the weeks prior to the November 6th election, they seem not to have anticipated negative feedback.
But they got some. Big-time.
When White aide Paul Marsh, on behalf of the two co-chairs, recently sent out a letter to a network of civic and governmental leaders announcing a series of four regional meetings of the WTEDC with the candidates for governor and U.S. senator, he conscientiously specified that all four — gubernatorial candidates Karl Dean (Democrat) and Bill Lee (Republican) would take part, sequentially. Ditto with the two candidates for Senate — Phil Bredesen (Democrat) and Marsha Blackburn (Republican).
As planned, the schedule called for Dean on Monday of this week in Jackson; Bredesen on October 18th, also in Jackson; Lee on October 22nd in Martin; and Blackburn, back in Jackson on October 23rd. Monday's meeting with Dean, the former mayor of Nashville, took place as scheduled at the offices of the Southwest Tennessee Economic District, which will be the site for the other Jackson meetings as well.
Members of both political parties and presumably some independents as well were on hand Monday, as, with White presiding, Dean and others discussed the status of the West Tennessee Megasite in Haywood County and other ongoing or potential development projects in the region. The group conversation was collegial, focused, and nonpartisan, a veritable object lesson in civic responsibiliity.
It remains to be seen, however, if that kind of comity holds up for the next go-round — the meeting with Bredesen. Upon receipt of Marsh's original letter, at least two recipients — both Republicans — responded with curt and identical refusals: "No, thank you" regarding the Bredesen meeting. And it became clear that both decliners, Bartlett Mayor Keith McDonald and state Representative Jim Coley, represented the tip of an iceberg. Several other Republicans found ways of conveying their displeasure, apparently seeing the planned occasion as some sort of partisan disloyalty.
Undiscouraged, White took pains to reassure his party brethren that no such treason was afoot, that the series of meetings with contenders for statewide office were part of no political agenda but were merely intended to be disinterested occasions for sharing ideas and information.
On Wednesday of last week, however, The Tennessean of Nashville carried a report of a hostile reaction to the scheduled Bredesen appearance from the famously partisan and unbashful state Representative Andy Holt (R-Dresden), a legislator famous (or infamous) for such capers as an anti-whistleblower bill that Governor Bill Haslam vetoed as unconstitutional and for dumping hog waste into fresh-water streams, an offense that earned him a fine from the EPA.
Holt vaunts his position on the rightward fringe of the Republican Party, too, and was quoted by the Tennessean as denouncing the WTEDC's plans to meet with Bredesen.
Said Holt: "I'm a member of this Caucus, but I want it to be VERY CLEAR, that I am not, and have no intention of EVER hosting Phil Bredesen at any event with which I'm associated!" Holt wondered, "Who's [sic] idea was this?" He called the Bredesen scheduling and the public invitation to it "egregious political miscalculations" and threatened to resign from the caucus.
Several of the Republicans present at Monday's WTEDC meeting with Dean expressed dismay at Holt's attitude. State Representative Jimmy Eldridge, currently a candidate for mayor of Jackson, was particularly vexed. "Can you believe that? We're trying to have a meeting of minds here. This is completely nonpartisan!" And Eldridge was seconded by several others.
Count it as a healthy omen, even a sign of potential redemption for state government, that such was the prevailing reaction toward a nonpartisan event in a highly charged political year among the Democrats and Republicans gathered in Jackson, all of whom practiced the most elaborate courtesies toward each other.
• As it happens, Bredesen has been the focus of attention in numerous other ways of late. The former governor, whose innate centrism and willingness to reach out across the political aisle had previously been serving him well, took a good deal of flack last week from his fellow Democrats, who judged him to be overdoing it.
Many Democrats expressed displeasure that Bredesen had reacted to taunts from GOP opponent Blackburn by publicly disowning Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York during the two Senate candidates' recent televised debate. But that reaction was nothing compared to the outrage that greeted Bredesen's statement endorsing President Donald Trump's designation of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court after an abbreviated FBI investigation of Kavanaugh for alleged sexual misconduct and before the final party-line vote in his favor in the Senate.
Meanwhile, whatever the reason for it, the polls, which had been showing Bredesen with a significant single-digit lead reversed course, and Blackburn began to top such samplings as were made public.
No doubt compounding the Democratic candidate's discomfort was a series of hard-hitting TV attack ads from the Blackburn camp. Some of these were patently misleading — notably one which attempted to connect the former governor with the current opioid-addiction problem (apparently based on the fact that, among other things, his stock portfolio includes some shares of the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical group). That approach is a blatant attempt to do a turn-around on the fact that Blackburn was the author of Pharma-friendly legislation that 60 Minutes identified as a major factor in inhibiting the DEA's ability to control the proliferation of opioids.
• The campaign of Democrat Gabby Salinas for the District 31 state Senate seat is calling foul on a mailer sent out by her opponent, Republican incumbent Brian Kelsey. Headed by a picture of Kelsey and his wife, Amanda, with a family dog and replete with other domestic themes and references, the mailer states, "Brian Kelsey's Family Has Called Shelby County Home for Seven Generations. He's From Here. He's One of Us."
Salinas is a cancer survivor whose family emigrated here from Colombia during her childhood to pursue treatment for her at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. A spokesman for her campaign maintains that the "nasty" mailer, a "not-so-subtle dog whistle" is "attempting to raise the question of Gabby's heritage and background as an immigrant and naturalized citizen."
Kelsey's response (via Kelsey's campaign manager, Jackson Darr): "It's very simple. It means that Brian lives in Shelby County. Senator Kelsey has deep roots here. ... Brian participates daily in Shelby County life. That's what it means to be one of us."

System Integrator
Major Release of System Integrator Delivers Critical New Features –
Workflow Management Rules, Project Notifications, and Calculated Items
Available now, SI v12 delivers critical new productivity features – workflow management rules that help business managers maintain control over operating standards and business processes, project notifications that ensure project stakeholders remain fully informed, and calculated items that provide a powerful new method for establishing pricing parameters.
Workflow Management
SI's new workflow management rules enable managers to enforce standards and operating procedures by setting admissible thresholds by which employees must comply. Workflow rules provide the necessary checks and balances that ensure minimum profit margin requirements are being adhered to, large proposals and purchase orders are acknowledged and approved by management before issuance, necessary team members are notified in response to customer needs, and more. Workflows can be configured to trigger an action and/or send a notification based on user-set criteria.
SI users can set project notifications to inform internal and external team members of specific project- and sales-related activities such as when a proposal exceeds the stated budget or the profit margin falls below the acceptable minimum, when a contract is approved, when a project requires engineering drawings, when a change order has been created and is ready for review, when tasks have been assigned, and much more. Notifications ensure that project stakeholders remain informed so they can adapt, respond and stay on-task as project parameters change. Notifications can be sent to SI users in-app, as well as emailed to both internal and external stakeholders.
Calculated Items
Cost and sell prices can now be calculated based on user-defined pricing parameters. At the most basic level, this feature allows SI users to calculate a unit cost or sell price of a product or labor item based on some established value and formula. More importantly, system integrators can now use a project's equipment total to calculate project labor, design fees, freight charges or a budget for installation materials. Additionally, the field labor total may be used to calculate a project management budget, or the project total can be used to calculate pricing for a service contract, and much more. In short, SI customers can now apply percentages, mark-ups, mark-downs and other functions to maintain accurate and consistent pricing across projects.
The SI v12 update offers additional productivity enhancements in virtually every functional area of the software – pricing catalog, drawings, projects, reporting, and more – designed to provide electronic system integrators with the means to further streamline business processes for improved operational efficiency.
Change Orders
The SI Change Order feature has been re-engineered with significant improvements to help users better manage projects quickly and more accurately in order to stay on-time and to-budget.
Learn More
- Re-engineered approval process for project revisions
- Allows for multiple pending change orders to exist at one time
- Provides differentiation between external and internal change orders
- Each change order can have its own Scope of Work, Misc. Items, Price Adjustments, Payment Terms, and Taxes
Avalara Tax Integration
D-Tools' integration with Avalara, a leading provider of tax compliance automation for businesses, provides SI users with the ability to accurately calculate applicable taxes for every billing line item by location, at no cost. An enhanced option is available to customers of both systems with the ability to unlock advanced features such as adding tax codes to each product/item in their catalog.

From BC Centre for Disease Control Measles outbreak: Measles Epidemiological Summary British Columbia : January 1 to July 19 , 2014;
The outbreak had 431 cases with the first onset in week 8, 98% having onset in weeks 10 through 16, and the last two reported cases in week 24.A minority of cases were laboratory confirmed: 29 by
PCR and 4 by IgM serology. The remainder was cases with measles – compatible illness and an epidemiologic link to either one or more
laboratory confirmed case, the two outbreak schools or to cases defined by these associations. Most cases (290, 67%) were school age (5 to 19 years), 10 cases (2%) were less than one year old, 70 cases (16%) were 1 to 4 years old, and 61 cases (14%) were 20 years or older. There were 219 (51%) male cases and 212 female cases. Most cases (372, 86%) were completely unvaccinated against measles, 3 cases had received one dose of MMR vaccine, 1 case had received two doses, and 55 cases (13%) had unknown immunization history. Four cases were hospitalized, one with encephalitis. None had a fatal outcome.
The outbreak was almost exclusively contained to the Netherlands Reformed community with only5 cases recognized among non-members. The true number of cases is likely higher
due to under reporting; the index case in the outbreak had no
history of travel but community members had returned from travel to the Netherlands in the period leading up to the outbreak.
Genotype was determined for 26 of the 29 PCR confirmed cases. All were D8 and 25 of 26 were at least 99.8% identical to the MVs/Taunton.GBR/27.12 sequence-variant. This is the same strain imported toCanada from the Netherlands multiple times during 2013while a large outbreak occurred in that country,leading also to the importation that sparked an outbreak in southern Alberta in the fall of 2013and a family cluster in Fraser East that did not result in further transmission. For one D8 case the similarity to the Netherlands strain is not known.
Vancouver Coastal: In January through June, low level measles transmission has been apparent in this region, most likely
associated with episodic importation from the Philippines.
In January, 3 laboratory confirmed cases with onset of rash in week 4
were reported. One case had travel history compatible with acquisition in the Philippines. The other cases had no recent travel or
known exposure to measles, and no links between these cases were identified. All 3 cases were genotype B3 and identical to the MVi/Harare.ZWE/38.09 strain detected in cases imported from the
Philippines. One case was reported in March with rash onset in week 13 and travel history to Alberta during the exposure period. This case was genotype B3 MVi/Harare.ZWE/38.09, the strain detected in recent cases imported from the Philippines.
In May and June, 9 cases were reported among residents of VCH in weeks 21 to 26. Only two of these cases were known to be linked, with medical clinic attendance compatible with transmission from one
to the other, and this was the only one of the 9 cases to have a known source of infection. All 9 of these cases were genotype B3 MVi/Harare.ZWE/38.09. One case had a history of travel to Washington State during their exposure period but genotyping was compatible with acquisition of infection in BC.
In February, there was one IgM confirmed case with rash onset in week 6 and travel history consistent with acquisition in the Philippines.
Vancouver Island:
In April, one case was reported in the Vancouver Island Health Authority area with rash onset in week 14. The case had travelled to the United States during the exposure period although measles had not been reported in locations visited during travel. This case was genotype D8 and identical to the MVs/Taunton.GBR/27.12 sequence-variant detected in the Fraser Health Authority outbreak.
Age distribution of these 15 cases unassociated with the FHE outbreak was as follows: 2 were infants, one was 1 to 4 years old,
two were 5 to 9 years old, and ten were 20 years or older.
Thirteen cases were male. Six (40%) cases were unvaccinated against measles, 4 (27%) cases reported undocumented vaccination against measles, and 5 (33%) cases had unknown immunization history. Five cases were hospitalized: two infants and three adults. There were no fatal outcomes.

In the four general elections held in post-apartheid South Africa, the African National Congress obtained the lion's share of the vote, always garnering more than 62%, and an even bigger slice of votes from black South Africans. The Democratic Alliance's 2014 election campaign has already kicked off, with its characterisation of the ruling party a critical element of its effort to expand its support base, and particularly to eat into the ANC's traditional support base. This characterisation has its twin brother, the re-branding of the DA, based on propagating a revisionist reading of the party's history, and its role in the liberation of South Africa.
The first part of Zille's strategy is to portray the ANC as an organisation that has moved towards the 'racial nationalism' of the Apartheid regime. The claim that the ANC is, in any fundamental manner, similar to the National Party is so ridiculous that one would ordinarily ascribe such an idea to a lunatic. But Hellen Zille is the leader of the official opposition, and her ideas receive a welcome airing in the liberal media that dominates the South African landscape. We have to ask ourselves why the DA would adopt such a strategy, which amounts to a wholesale rewriting of history.
In searching for this answer, we might find clues in the second aspect of the DA strategy: the attempt to diminish the role of the ANC in the liberation of South Africa. Zille's claim conveniently ignores a range of historical factors, organisational dynamics and popular perception in arguing that "the ANC did not always provide the only, or even the most important, opposition to segregation and apartheid". In the first instance it ignores the obvious fact that the ANC has never claimed for itself the role of sole participant in the struggle. Any cursory reading of statements by ANC leaders over the last fifty years will make this clear. The ANC always saw its own contribution to the liberation of South Africa as part of a broader struggle by South Africans, taking varying organisational and ideological shapes. It is for this reason that it had alliances, including with its strategic allies the Communist Party and the trade union movement. For the same reason it had relationships with the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union in the 1920s and even the Black Conscioussness movement of the 70s. While these organisations co-existed with the ANC, Zille claims that they superseded it. She also claims that the ANC was superseded by the United Democratic Front in the 1980s, conveniently ignoring the fact that then, as now, many of the UDF's leaders were in fact members of the then-banned ANC. Did Zille see any flags apart from those of the ANC and Communist party flying at the huge UDF meetings of the 1980s, or did she see anything but ANC flags at the funerals of thousands of activists killed during the brutal 1980s? Or are we to accept that we were all living an illusion that the ANC was actually immensely popular, and in a symbiotic partnership with the various progressive organisations inside the country?
Zille neglects to mention the critical fact that, unlike the liberal parties that precedes its modern incarnation, the DA, the ANC was a banned organisation that could not operate in the country openly. Its members, where found by the Apartheid State, were captured, tortured and killed. As activists who cut our political teeth in the turbulent 1980s, we can assure the leader of the DA that the ANC lived in the civic organisations, student and youth movements, defence committees and indeed the UDF in every township across South Africa. How else does she explain the popularity of this organisation and the extent to which its strategic mission was implemented by the vast majority of popular organisations? How did the ANC gain the confidence of the overwhelming majority of South Africans that allowed it to negotiate an end to Apartheid and usher in a democratic era for the country?
We can only conclude that Zille's patently false rewriting of history is based on the age old liberal tradition in this country that infantilises black people, viewing them as emotional and not clear headed. Like her forebears in the Apartheid parliament argued that black South Africans cannot be given unconditional franchise as they are not 'educated enough', Helen Zille now seeks to convince us that the historical fact of ANC leadership in the anti-apartheid struggle is a mirage that seems to afflict only black South Africans. She is, necessarily the white saviour that will peel the scales from our eyes and allow you to see a South Africa where liberals fought tooth and nail for the liberation of South Africa, and where the DA is the modern incarnation of that struggle for liberation.
The results of the last four general elections bear testimony to the fact that black South Africans are not deceived by this liberal rewriting of their struggle, a fact that has driven Zille and the DA to cast themselves as not only our future, but past saviours as well. This strategy is borne out of desperation by the DA to establish a legitimate link between itself and the lived experiences of black South Africans. It is the latest in a trajectory of action that includes attempts to form a broad anti-ANC 'coalition of the disgruntled' with COPE, the ID and UDM as well as the failed attempt to draw Mamphela Ramphela and her small group of black intellectuals into the DA. Try as they might, the DA should know that South Africans are used to scratching below the surface to find out what lies beneath the various narratives that have been presented to them over the years. For that reason alone this falsehood will not stand.

October is the middle of autumn in China, and it is the best month to appreciate colorful autumn scenery. Cool weather in October can makes your tour in China more comfortable and enjoyable.
Consider avoiding China's National Day holiday, lasting from October 1 to October 7, as there are more visitors in most tourist destinations, and hotels raise their prices during these days.
We have listed the five best places to visit in colorful October. If you are a shutterbug and looking for the most beautiful photography locations in October, these places are great choices.
Most people would think that the Longji Rice Terraces are at their most beautiful in early summer, when the entire Longji Rice Terraces are fully irrigated with water. In fact the Longji Rice Terraces in autumn, especially in the first half of October, when the entire rice terraces are decorated with a vast spread of golden rice, are also a great sight to behold.
In October the temperature difference between day and night is big (on average 18 °C (64 °F) –26 °C (79 °F)). The Mid-Autumn Festival falls around early October; and visitors then can experience the local celebrations with the Zhuang and Yao people.
For photography: The sunrise at the Longji Rice Terraces should not be missed. Hotels are available there. Stay at least one night, get up early in the morning (as early as 4 o'clock), hike to a high place, and wait for the moment when the sunshine pierces the horizon. Check out China's Five Most Beautiful Rice Terraces.
Recommended tour: 5-Day Guilin, Yangshuo and Longji Rice Terraces Tour
The Yellow Mountains is one of the most famous mountain areas in China, attracting numerous visitors with its imaginatively-named pines, oddly-shaped rocks, seas of cloud and hot springs.
The weather turns cool and dry in October, and it is one of the best months to tour the mountains, whether for hiking or photography.
Watching the sunrises is a popular activity. Make sure to get up early so you can get a good spot. If lucky, you can get many beautiful pictures of the sunrise enlivening the misty mountains. During the day you may walk around and admire the peculiar rock formations and formidable passageways through the granite mountains.
The temperature on the mountains varies greatly between day and night. It reaches 18-25 °C (64-77 °F) in the daytime in October and drops to 0-10°C (32-50 °F) at night.
Jiuzhaigou is worth four visits during its four different seasons. However, autumn, especially October, is the best time to visit Jiuzhaigou, because of the comfortable weather and the fairy land of colorful trees (green, yellow, and flaming) and pools, graceful waterfalls, and snow-capped mountains.
Autumn in Jiuzhaigou is short (only September and October), and October is already late autumn there. The low rainfall (53 mm) and cool temperatures (on average 8 °C (46 °F) – 20 °C (68 °F) can make your tour to Jiuzhaigou more smooth and enjoyable.
The average altitude of Jiuzhaigou is about 3,000 meters (remember to prepare for possible altitude effects), which causes the temperatures there to vary greatly between day and night. Both a thin coat and a down coat are needed.
Recommended Tours
Zhangjiajie is world-renowned for its amazing rock pillar landscapes. You can spend 4 or 5 days hiking in the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, enjoying panoramic views of the stunning Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon on the world's highest glass bridge, and taking the world's longest cable car ride to explore Tianmen Mountain.
October is the best time to visit Zhangjiajie as the weather is comfortable, the mountains are cool, and (apart from the National Holiday in the first week) it is quiet.
Most of the national forest in Zhangjiajie is evergreen, but, in October, Wolongling (卧龙岭) in the Tianzi Mountain area and Yaozi Village (鹞子寨) are the two best places to see fall foliage.
China Highlights has recommended Shangri-La as one of the best places to visit in early summer. However, autumn (September and October) is also a great time for a visit to Shangri-La. Shangri-La (check out the Shangri-La travel guide) is a land of idyllic beauty with quiet lakes, verdant forests, vast grasslands with flocks and herds, mysterious monasteries, and snow-capped mountains.
The most-popular attractions in Shangri-La are: Pudacuo National Park, Meili Snow Mountain, Song Zanling Monastery, Lake Bita and Lake Shudu, Lake Napa, and Baishuitai. Feilai Temple is the best place to catch the sunrise and the sunset scenery with Meili Snow Mountain. If you are interested in ethnic culture, you can visit a local Naxi family.
In October most places in Shangri-La are decorated in flaming red and yellow colors. Rare foggy weather in this month brings a much clearer view of snow-capped mountains for photographers. The temperature difference between day and night in October is big, ranging on average from 5 °C (41 °F) to 20 °C (68 °F).
Recommended tour: 8-Day Shangri-La Exploration Tour

Popular Bollywood and South Indian movie star, Ileana D'Cruz is getting more and more popular. Here is some of the latest news on what's new in Ileana D'Cruz's life:
Ileana : Akshay is an underrated actor…
Ileana D'Cruz has been in the news now-a-days primarily because of her upcoming movie Rustom alongside Akshay Kumar. Recently Ileana's comment on his co-star Khiladi Kumar Akshay Kumar has been creating a lot of buzz. According to Ileana, Akshay is an underrated actor as his stardom veils his exceptional his acting skills.
On her acting experience alongside Akshay Kumar, she said in a recent interview "It was really amazing to work with him… He's one of the most underrated actors we have. He's a superstar… Don't get me wrong, but as an actor, people talk less about his acting capabilities than his superstardom."
She said that she loved working opposite him and was pretty upset when the movie was wrapped up. She got very emotional when the movie's shooting came to an end. To be exact this is what she said when asked about her experience of working alongside Akshay, "I normally don't get emotional when a film gets over. I am actually excited. I was pretty upset when the film wrapped up, and that I couldn't get back on the set to play the role opposite Akshay,"
Love struck Ileana D'Cruz's snapshots with Australian beau
Even though Ileana chooses to remain mum on her personal life, her frequent pics with Australian boyfriend Andrew Kneebone reveals all you need to know about her love life. She feels that revealing more about her love life is like exposing the other's personal life irrespective of their wish. But her actions don't match her words as even though she does not speak about her beau she does not shy back from posting lovey dovey pics with him.
What Ileana said on actors being blamed for products that turn out to be faulty
Ileana recently appeared in the ad of sports show company 'Skechers'. Commenting on the recent allegations against stars who endorse products that later turn out to be faulty or below expectations, she said that stars are not to be blamed for it. As per the recent parliamentary panel decisions, any such action by celebs might land them in jail for 5 years alongwith a penalty of 60 lakhs.
Here the All Video of Ileana D'cruz kissing :
On this topic, the Barfi! star commented "I think it is very easy to target an actor. When it comes to a food brand, you really don't know the specifics, what goes in the making. And if an honest mistake happens in the factory, you can't blame the actors by saying 'You are responsible for selling this to people. "There is a certain amount of responsibility, but blaming it completely on the actors is not right.

Latino Age Wave Colorado | Conectores de Montbello
Latino Age Wave Colorado (LAWC) is a program of the Latino Community Foundation of Colorado in Denver. Recently they initiated a place-based, community-driven project in one of Denver's neighborhoods to learn more about how Latino older adults are either thriving or struggling to age in community. Through partnerships with local leadership, LAWC evolved into a series of "pop up" activities for Latino older adults and their families hosted by four Conectoras (a hybrid term blending the roles of a promotora and a community organizer). Program activities include home visits, connection to resources (plus follow up) and a menu of social activities inspired by group participants, including a monthly meeting, coffee talks, Mexican bingo and a craft group. To date, 265 individuals have participated in at least one community-based activity, and the group also has built relationships with the University of Colorado's Dental School to provide discounted dental services and with the Food Bank of the Rockies to deliver its prepackaged pantry box program to elders who cannot travel to the local food distribution site.

No one understands a girl's concerns better than another girl. Together, girls can make the world a better place.
Here's how you can work with others to bring about change:
Find your sisterhood
Seek out girls in your school or community who have the same interests as you and want to achieve the same goals, and set aside time to meet up. Love music? Find out if there are others who would be interested in meeting to rehearse after school.
Start small, be specific
List your goals clearly. What is it that you want? Don't be afraid to start with a small solution. Perhaps the girls in your neighbourhood aren't able to walk to school safely. Start a group where you all walk to and from school together.
Listen to each other
Not everyone will think about things in exactly the same way you do, and that's okay. The key to working together successfully is listening to each other and respecting different opinions.
Be there for each other
No matter what, you need to stick together. The girls in your group are your sisters, and protecting the sisterhood is important. Be each other's friends, teachers, family and support system.
Share your skills
One of the best ways that you can support each other is through your talents. If you're a maths whizz, help tutor your friends. That friend with amazing sewing skills will be more willing to help you with an outfit for a special occasion if you're generous with your skills.
Say no to negativity
Being around girls who never have anything positive to say can get you down. Don't let negativity sway your feelings about things, and rather surround yourself with those girls who lift you up.
Girls spending time together doesn't have to be just about hanging out. When you share skills and build each other up your sisterhood can become a strong and valuable network that can continue to help you achieve your goals well into the future.

Melania Trump only follows 5 people on Twitter — and one won't make her husband happy
First lady Melania Trump may have over 9.7 million followers on her @FLOTUS twitter account, but she only follows five people — one of whom may surprise you.
Apparently, the first lady is a recent follower of her husband's predecessor — and one of his least favorite people — former President Barack Obama.
Image: Screenshot/Twitter
For the majority of her time as first lady, Melania only followed both of President Donald Trump's accounts, as well as Second lady Karen Pence and Vice President Mike Pence.
However, British novelist Matt Haig pointed out her new follow last Friday, tweeting, "It's a lovely bit of husband-trolling that Melania Trump only follows five people and one of them is Barack Obama."
One Twitter user suggested that the follow might have been leftover from when Michelle Obama ran the FLOTUS account.
Another was quick to refute the point, stating that "the previous FLOTUS and POTUS account have been renamed and locked as archives; these are fresh accounts, so it must be new."
When and why the first lady began following the former POTUS still remains unknown.

Just after the July acquisition of GE Industrial Systems, B&D Technologies has been inundated with dozens of calls per week inquiring about where products can be obtained. While we strive to always have ample products and answers, there is no straight or simple answer here. This is what we know:
- There are a lot of smart people at GE and GE's existing channel.
- B&D Technologies has partnerships with several parts of the GE channel but is not an official distributor. We've retrofit new and vintage GE MCCs with ABB drives and soft-starters.
- In our Design and Build Laboratory, we've modified switch gears and other GE hardware for specific customer requirements.
- Moving forward, everyone is excited about the opportunities with ABB and GE.
We can assume that since ABB is the largest VFD manufacturer in the world, at some point the GE drive, that looks very similar to the Danfoss drive, will be going away. And we can assume that much of the similar (duplicated) products will be melded into the ABB's offering like contactors, starters, etc. But who knows, there may be a need for both. After working with ABB for over two decades, we have seen a migration towards a homogenous offering more often than not. I think I have been through eighteen acquisitions over the years that have affected me in one way or another.
Additional Considerations
From a cultural standpoint, I believe the new GE folks will realize that ABB is serious about safety and responsibility. In the early 90's, I became more familiar with ABB and Percy Barnevik after I hooked up my first ABB drive, the Micro-star, and wondered how ABB became a company with sustainability at its inception with the merger of Asea and BBC in '89. It was also interesting to read in 1992, that Barnevik and Schmidheiny went to the Earth Summit in Rio, and immediately created ISO 14001. ABB was the first organization to voluntarily certify and publish their sustainability data annually.
It wasn't until 2001, when Jorgen Centerman introduced the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), that ABB had 98% of all ABB manufacturing plants compliant with ISO 14001. The TBL refers to John Elkington's (2004) definition of corporations following the balance of economic, social and environmental values for greater business success.
Last Words
From B&D's perspective, we are working on not just a corporate responsibility program but ethical guidelines with respect to automation and artificial intelligence (AI). We hope that ABB and GE will continue on the same trajectory— establishing ABB as not just a technical giant, but also a sustainable one. Because of our similar cultures, this is is another reason why B&D Technologies has such a strong relationship with ABB. We look forward to similarly working with GE in all capacities.

sort algorithm
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus.
Related to sort algorithm: Bubble sort algorithm
sort algorithm[′sȯrt ¦al·gə'rith·əm]
(computer science)
The methods followed in arranging a set of data items into a sequence according to precise rules.
sort algorithmA formula used to reorder data into a new sequence. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster than another. In the early 1960s, when magnetic tape was "the" storage medium, the sale of a computer system may have hinged on the sort algorithm, since without direct access capability on disk, every transaction had to be sorted into the sequence of the master files in order to update them. Today, sorting is not quite as conspicuous a process as it used to be; however, reports are still presented in sequential order, and myriad indexes to hard disk data must be maintained in a sequential order.
In-Memory Sorting
Today's considerably larger memories enable many sorts to be performed entirely in memory. However, if there is insufficient memory, a sort program may be able to store data that is partially sorted temporarily on disk and merge that data later into the final sequence. See bubble sort, insertion sort, merge sort, quick sort, selection sort, pigeonhole sort and counting sort.

Nowadays, you only have to take a look around to see how furniture is made with practicality and simple living in mind; designs have certainly changed to accommodate our changing lifestyles, with adaptability & space saving at the design forefront. But our generation aren't the creators of such design ideas, and here's proof that the Victorians were doing it long before us.
This weeks' Item of the Week is a multifunctional Antique Victorian Stand c. 1890
There's something quite satisfying about purchasing an item that offers you versatility and value for money and that's exactly what you'll be getting with this Superb piece. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a reading/writing stand, a small dinner/lap table, a music stand, or you could even use it in bed or sat in a chair to prop up your favourite novel or your laptop.
Made out of Mahogany this 19th Century stand can be tucked under a bed or a chair and can also be used on the left or the right as the slope tilts at different angles. The height can also be adjusted therefore offering a multitude of positions.
As it sits on castors, this wonderfully adaptable stand can be moved around with ease, which is handy for when it's not in use. When set aside it could even be used as a side table or it could just be left to be admired for its' unassuming yet splendid appearance.
This Stand is being sold by Nigel Parker Antiques for £320.

ITE Inc **** Fatigue Detection and Technology
For information and Demonstrations Please Contact 703-608-3100 or 240-463-2899
FATIGUE DETECTION Systems for operators in high risk occupations:
Flight Crews, Train Engineers, Truck Drivers, Nuclear Plant Operators ...
In line with ITE support of human systems integration in systems design, ITE is introducing new technologies for unobtrusive Fatigue Detection based on real-time analysis of brain activity associated with monitored speech. This Page provides Links to associated Technical Reports and Demonstrations.
Undetected Chronic Fatigue in operators of moving aircraft and vehicles is statistically the major cause of accidents.
This technology offers objective detection in time to alert the operators.
Technical Reports
Overview of technical paper delivered in Singapore 2008 —Variations in the chaotic characteristics human speech are strongly related to the speaker's fatigue condition. When we define a time-local exponent to evaluate the time-local characteristics of speech's time domain signal and calculate it periodically or continually, it is possible to observe changes in human cerebral activity. The time-local exponent, called the Cerebral Exponent, can be defined like the first Lyapunov exponent. Being able to use the proposed chaotic voice analysis technology to calculate the Cerebral Exponent of speech in real-time provides fatigue detection and prediction for a speaker.
Link to CENTE Technology Technical Paper (1.5 MB)
Abstract of technical paper describing the use of CENTE to detect the onset of Operator Fatigue using a train simulator. It is possible to measure human cerebral activity by utilizing a new chaotic method for analyzing the spoken voice. In experiments, we measured the Flicker Frequency and voice derived Cerebral Exponents of subjects at 12-minutes intervals during a ten-hour railway driving simulation exercise. The results confirm that our analysis method is able to measure human central nervous system activity levels, as is possible using the Flicker Tester, from speech. We believe that it will be possible to evaluate the mental and physical condition of critical workers in real-time in their working environments by monitoring only their speech. We also believe that workspace safety will be much improved by the introduction of the new chaotic voice analyzer.
Link to Technical Report Describing CENTE Validation using a Train Simulator (0.8MB)
Movie Clip Demonstrations
Below are Links to three Movie Clips of Validation Trials for the "CENTE" technology found on the ITE FTP site. Each Clip is 6 to 7 minutes long in Apple Quick Time .mov format. The files are large (size shown). Download times depend on your connection speed (155 MB / 300 Kbs = approximately 9 minutes). Please be patient. Go get a cup of coffee and the clips will open eventually and be very instructive.
The Clip narratives are in Japanese, but the context is obvious as the camera looks over the shoulder of the operator and at the CENTE computer screens. One computer screen shown frequently is the display of the Chaotic Strange Attractor displaying cerebral activity, the Cerebral Exponent (CE) associated with speech. Figures 1 and 2 below show a Normal and Fatigued CE pattern, respectively. As the test and validation trials progress over time these images will display on the computer screen and become the predictors presented in a numerical scale as discussed in the Technical Papers.

Larry Wayne Price Jr.'s Mansion
Billings mansion owner accused of faking his kidnapping also charged with wire fraud.
Wire fraud charges have been filed against a Billings mansion owner accused of faking his kidnapping so he could run away with his Virginia mistress.
U.S. attorneys in Montana have charged Larry Wayne Price Jr. with six counts of wire fraud stemming from the $13.9 million acquired from investors and transferred to Price's personal account at Rocky Mountain Bank.
Price made national news in May after being charged with lying to the FBI about being abducted by motorcycle gang members in Bluefield, Virginia. His white Mercedes with Montana plates had been found at a park-and-ride. Eventually, Price's mistress came forward explaining that the two had hatched a plan to disappear together.
In Virginia, U.S. attorneys told a U.S. District Court judge that Price had taken $17 million from people who believed they were investing in coal mines or support businesses. Those investors were in Montana and Wyoming. Price has several businesses, ranging from restaurants to real estate, in Montana and Virginia.
The charges were made public July 3, two weeks after federal prosecutors in Virginia convinced a judge to block Price, 38, from accessing accounts at 15 banks in three states, including Montana where he built a 26,000-square-foot mansion in Billings. He is free on a $250,000 bond.
Price's Montana home, the largest house ever built in Billings, is now for sale. It is a 10-bedroom, 15-bathroom mansion with three outdoor pools and a three-stop elevator and bowling alley on Billings' far West End near the Ironwood subdivision. Realtor.com has the 32,000-square-foot home listed for $16 million.

Can't monitor my bartenders too closely!
1 answer
Besides proper training (and hiring understanding bartenders), you can invest into measured pourers and jiggers. Though they may initially be against using measured pourers and jiggers (to measure alcohol content), bartenders who consistently use them will be able to avoid overpouring, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars every month.

Houston designer creates lampshade for Vaughan lighting event
Habitat for Horses inspires Ginger Barber's project
Houston interior designer Ginger Barber is one of 15 designers across the country to join the Made in the Shade campaign of Vaughan, a lighting design/manufacturing company, and Watts of Love, a solar lighting nonprofit.
In the campaign, the designers create unique lampshades for their favorite Vaughan lamp. Barber's shade -- inspired by horses and nature -- can be seen here in the George Cameron Nash showroom at the Decorative Center of Houston.
Barber chose Vaughan's Truro bronze Twig floor lamp as her base, then created a shade with tree limbs winding through, along with animals and flowers in soft natural colors.
"My love for animals, particularly horses, inspires so many of my projects and it was the driving force for this project as well," Barber said in a press release. "I wanted this piece to reflect my work with Habitat for Horses and my love of the great Texas outdoors."
Use the #vaughanXwattsoflove and #madeintheshade hashtags in social media, and Vaughan will donate $1 to Watts of Love for each time they are used. Also, the designers' lampshades will be available through a silent auction in their showrooms through Nov. 30.
Barber's Ginger Barber Interior Design firm focuses on calm, effortless looks with natural colors, and textures. She owns the Sitting Room antiques store at 2025 West Alabama St. and is vice president on the board of directors of the Habitat for Horses animal rescue group.
Other designers participating in the project hail from Dallas, Minneapolis, Denver, Boston, Seattle, Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Scottsdale, Ariz., and Dania Beach, Fla.
Watts of Love was founded by Nancy Economou to bring solar lights to the 1 billion people in the world who live in poverty and without electricity.
Vaughan founder Lucy Vaughan and her daughter Emma Vaughan will also create limited edition commemorative Made in the Shade lampshades that will be available for sale in all Vaughan showrooms. Vaughan designs and manufactures lighting, furniture and accessories.

Since our very beginnings in 1994, Mr Cyril Ramaphosa has been Afrika Tikkun's patron, believing and supporting our cause passionately. While he remains "tremendously supportive of the work Afrika Tikkun does", Mr Ramaphosa is unable to continue as patron due to his political profile, which prevents him from retaining an involvement in any concern where his position presents potential for conflict of interests. Afrika Tikkun wishes Mr Cyril Ramaphosa peace, wisdom and everything of the best at this very critical moment in South African history.
We thank him with all our hearts for his years of dedicated patronage, and look forward to continued friendship with him.

Re: Digital Library of the Combined Arms Research Library
First reason I pointed this website at the start was the monthly chronology files that include daily actions by Allied airforces (for example in the September and October 1944 files, you have a paragraph for each day and each Allied army on the western front about air support, targets of Allied air missions and claims of targets hit. You also have such details for Burma for example).
These file are now available on the following website:
And are displayed in a way for more easy to access (no need to use a search engine anywhere)
The site http://www.znaci.net/00002/ is an online library. Last time I checked it (a year ago or more) there were a lot of reports and war histories about partisan warfare in Yugoslavia but in Serbo-Croat language, so not very useful for me.
Since then, it has included documents in English and German language that may be of interest. German archive documents from the NARA roll are listed but the links don't work for the moment. (By the way I click some random Serbian document links and they don't work either, so might be a service availability temporary issue).

Samsung HS12YHA compatibility?
I would like to know if the Samsung Spinpoint N3A drives will work in an iPod 5G ("video"). The Samsung HS12YHA looks like a nice, cost-effective upgrade. 120GB, 5mm thickness (no need for the fat-back), and lower power consumption. Assuming that it works with the 5G iPod. I have consulted the compatibility chart at the top of this forum, and it is not listed as either compatible or incompatible.

Re: Samsung HS12YHA compatibility?
It is not on our compatibility list simply because we have not tested that particular drive. To that end, I'm not sure if that drive is compatible with the 5th Gen iPod Video... Maybe another user on this forum can enlighten us after they read this post?

Re: Samsung HS12YHA compatibility?
Old thread I know, but I just installed an hs12yha into a 30GB 5.5 gen. The drive worked fine without even needing to format. Just installed it and restored through iTunes. The only downside I can see so far is that it takes considerably longer to sync the same 22GB of music than it did with the original drive. Aside from that everything works as it should.
