The following article has little to do with genealogy, family history, DNA, or the other topics normally covered in this newsletter. However, it does reflect my interests in low-cost computing and I think it may be of interest to many readers of this newsletter.
I have written often about the advantages of low-cost Chromebook computers. (See http://bit.ly/2K5izCv for my past articles about Chromebooks.) These low-cost and highly secure laptop computers have all of the essentials most computer users need. They are famous for how they "get things done efficiently and easily." Best of all, Chromebooks are very secure and never get viruses. They also never lose data because all systems are automatically backed up online all the time. If a Chromebook gets lost, stolen, or crushed by a truck, the owner can obtain a new Chromebook and then restore all data within a matter of minutes.
Now you can purchase a new (not refurbished) Samsung 11.6-inch Chromebook 3 (originally $219) Chromebook for $129 US from Wal-Mart and that price even includes free shipping or else you can pick it up at your local Wal-Mart store. However, you will have to pay state and local sales taxes, if any.
The Samsung 11.6″ Chromebook 3 has an Intel Celeron processor, 2 gigabytes of internal memory, 16 gigabytes of SSD "disk drive" storage, HDMI video if you want to connect an external monitor, a built-in Webcam, and a battery that lasts for an average of 11 hours before requiring a recharge.
NOTE #1: The SSD "disk drive" isn't really a disk drive at all. In fact, it is much better than a traditional hard disk drive. The letters "SSD" are an abbreviation for "Solid State Drive." There are no spinning platters in an SSD. As a result, it is much faster and more rugged than a traditional hard drive.
NOTE #2: Anyone used to Windows or Macintosh computers will first think that 16 gigabytes of SSD "disk drive" storage is tiny but Chromebooks' default is to save all files in safe and secure areas the cloud, not on internal disk drives. As a result, most Chromebook users will never fill the internal "disk drive" in their laptops. However, anyone who really insists on storing files locally can plug a flash drive or external USB disk drive into a Chromebook in order to have all the local storage space they want. (I never do that on my Chromebook or Chromebox as I prefer to have all my data available to me on all my laptop, desktop, and tablet computers as well as on my "smartphone. However, your preferences may be different from mine.)
Please keep in mind that $129 US doesn't give you a high-powered top-of-the-line powerhouse computer. The Samsung 11.6″ Chromebook 3 has modest power with a Celeron processor and 2 gigabytes of memory. You won't be running architectural CAD/CAM software to design new skyscrapers with a Chromebook system! However, it has more than enough power to surf the web, read and write email messages, communicate on Facebook, run thousands of programs (see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions), and play hundreds of computer games.
Most of the available Chrome operating system apps are available free of charge although there are a very few exceptions. You always are always notified of any required purchase prices before you decide whether or not to download and install a Chrome app. Many of the Chromebook programs will also operate when not connected online.
Chromebooks will not run Windows or Macintosh programs, however. A Chromebook also will operate well with almost all web sites, including MyHeritage.com, FamilySearch.org, Findmypast.com, Ancestry.com, WikiTree.com, eogn.com, Wikipedia.org, most email services, and thousands more. I even use a Chromebook (or Chromebox) to build and maintain the web servers of this newsletter.
Because of Chromebooks' ease of use and minimal technical knowledge required, a Chromebook is a great solution for adolescents, for computer-illiterate adults, and also for anyone who wants an inexpensive laptop computer for use when traveling. Chromebook users can even create supervised accounts to track or limit online activity for kids online. This makes the Chromebook a great family-friendly laptop.
To learn more about the $129 Samsung 11.6-inch Chromebook 3 available from Wal-Mart, go to http://bit.ly/2EYuDRX. I have no idea how long this price will last.
This article was written on a Chromebox desktop computer. See my earlier article at https://blog.eogn.com/2019/05/24/using-a-chromebox-as-my-primary-day-to-day-computer/ for information about my use of a Chromebox desktop computer.
NOTE #3: I am not compensated in any way for publishing this article about Chromebook computers. I am simply a very satisfied Chromebook user who wants to pass on information about a "good deal" to anyone else who is interested.

Heath, Bizer: Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space
Tom Heath, Christian Bizer – Linked Data: Evolving the Web into a Global Data Space:
"This book gives an overview of the principles of Linked Data as well as the Web of Data that has emerged through the application of these principles. The book discusses patterns for publishing Linked Data, describes deployed Linked Data applications and examines their architecture."
The Web page contains the whole book, for free. I still dislike RDF triples, but there's heaps of useful information.
I especially like this one:
"Linked Data commits itself to a specific pattern of using the HTTP protocol. This agreement allows data sources to be accessed using generic data browsers and enables the complete data space to be crawled by search engines. In contrast, Web APIs are accessed using different proprietary interfaces."
Each big corporation's information silo uses their own API. That's crazy. If you don't want to be open to the public, prevent access by requiring authentication. But don't force developers to reimplement simple data access (search, read). I'm currently in favor of HTML with semantic markup (probably RDFa)…

Germany's defense secretary has set up 11 project groups to fill in the details of the military's planned restructuring, which follows his May unveiling of defense policy guidelines.
"We really take up quite a lot there," Thomas de Maizière said at a June 10 kick-off presentation in Berlin.
The groups will work independently, but a steering committee will control the process, along with the task force on structural reform. The committee will include state secretary Rüdiger Wolf, Generalinspekteur general Volker Wieker and states secretary Stéphane Beemelmans.
All projects will have to make decisions relevant to the future basing by this fall, when defense secretary de Maizière wants to present the final concept.
In order from one to 11, the projects will:
■ Reshape the Bundeswehr's structure to a maximum of 185,000 personnel, including reservists; and a leaner command structure with new roles for the Generalinspekteur and the chief of staffs of the individual services.
■ Write the new basing concept of military and civilian elements.
■ Shape the German defense department's reduction from today's 3,100 military and civilian employees to 2,100.
■ Organize staff management and create a recruitment branch.
■ Plan a quick and socially acceptable reduction of the military and civil personnel to reach the final personnel headline goals.
■ Make coherent the Bundeswehr's education and qualification sector.
■ Create the new materiel and utilization management. Its goal is a new procurement process with an optimized IT.
■ Adjust the structures and optimize the processes in the infrastructure and service sectors.
■ Devise a new concept for the Bundeswehr's reserve force.
■ Works on governance and control.

Geoff Johns and Guy
Everyone says that Geoff Johns has a mancrush on Hal Jordan. I'm not too sure that necessarily go along with that. I think that he likes Hal a lot. Heck, I like Hal a lot, when I'm not in the mood to kick him. I like John and Kyle too. There is no denying that Geoff Johns has done an exemplary job of bringing back Hal...AND the entire Green Lantern Corps from comics purgatory, to the fabulous position it now occupies. Hal is back to being a stand-up and take-charge sort of fellow again, as opposed to the whiny, vascillating maniac he had been reduced to.
But I think that in all of the hoopla over Hal, Guy has been overlooked. That's not unusual of course. Hal has a habit of overshadowing everyone. But what I have noticed, is that in the issues where Geoff Johns writes BOTH Hal and Guy...inevitably, Guy simply shines. He certainly gets all the best lines. For the most part, Hal is reduced to being the set-up man for Guy's snarky comments and witty one-liners. Obviously, there is some affection on the part of Mr. Johns for my favorite red-haired lunatic.
Heck, way back, in issue 12 and 13 for example, when Hal and Guy defy the Guardians and fly off to rescue the Lost Lanterns from the Cyborg Superman, it's pretty obvious that Guy is the hero of that story. Hal lies to him right from the start, saying that he has permission from the Guardians, not to mention that Guy was the one who stood up for him in the Cafetorium on Oa, when some of the other Lanterns wee dissing Hal. Guy probably knows that Hal is lying, but he still flies off with him into the unknown with nary a problem. And when they get back, with all the Lost Lanterns in tow, and are being yelled at by the Guardians, it is Guy who stands up to them and says that it was all his idea, and HE is the one who receives punishment...not Hal. And Hal stands there and lets him do it.
More recently in the War of the Green Lanterns story, there is the delightful issue where Guy and Hal are being influenced to violence by the tainted rings, and start beating each other up. For once, Guy actually gets to let lose, and tell Hal a few home truths...not to mention beating the crap out of him. They do manage to realize that they're being mind-controlled, and cooperate to get to Oa, with all the hilarious banter and one-upmanship that goes with a Hal/Guy pairing. And in the end, it's Guy who manages to save the day, and free Parallax and all that stuff.
Johns does write a very very good version of Guy Gardner. He writes him as being smart and funny and honest. Usually, he ends up being the moral superior of Hal, which I find rather breathtaking. I like Hal, but he can be awfully petty sometimes. Guy is never petty. Obnoxious yes, petty no.
Johns writes a good John and a good Kyle too, but still, I have to admit that I just love it when he gets Hal and Guy together, because it always is magic. Plus he gets to show off his sense of humor more readily. Hal isn't a particular amusing character, and Guy IS.
Man, I just love this picture.

Machine learning is being adopted in various areas of materials science to both create predictive models and to uncover correlations which reveal underlying physics. However, these two aims are often at odds with each other since the resultant predictive models generally become so complex that they can essentially be described as a black box, making them difficult to understand. In this study, complex relationships between microstructure and twin formation in AZ31 magnesium are investigated as a function of increasing strain. Supervised machine learning is employed, in the form of J-48 decision trees. In one approach, strain is incorporated as an implicit attribute in a single predictive model; in a second method, separate decision trees are formed for each strain level, and the structure of the trees is compared to understand the influence of strain on the twin activity. A comparison of the methods shows that the second better uncovers the underlying physics of twin formation as a function of strain. The correlations revealed by the second method are found to exhibit similarities with parameters used in conventional modeling techniques, leading to the conclusion that machine learning has potential to assist in future microstructural modeling.

I've been reading Michael Heiser's excellent The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible. If you haven't read this book, stop everything you're doing and buy it right now. Western Christians used to have this worldview and we need to recover it immediately if we want a new Reformation because it was the worldview of the Reformers and every Christian up until recently. Consider the words of Luther's A Mighty Fortress is our God, which explain this worldview and our resulting duties succinctly:
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow'r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly pow'rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
We cannot win battles in the visible realm without winning them in the invisible realm through prayer because we are weak. Christians in the global south understand this. For example, Africans still believe in an invisible realm of angels, demons, devils, and witches. They know the spiritual battle is the more-important one and that the physical battle cannot be won without winning it in the spiritual domain first. This is why God's Kingdom is growing exponentially there. This doesn't just apply to evangelism or building the Kingdom, though every action of a Christian towards the glory of God builds the Kingdom. It also applies to daily life or movements of peoples and physical struggles. The American patriots of 1776 understood this. Not only did they have stable families, household economies, and churches, but they also understood the need for victory in the invisible realm through prayer. They proceeded only when they sensed the approval from God. When you have God's blessing and the Holy Spirit's help, physical efforts feel easy – like you're working but making almost no effort. Our first national anthem by William Billings confirms this:
It sounds banal, but pray. Western Christians pray on average only 4 minutes per day. This confirms we don't even believe in an invisible realm but think the material cosmos is all there is. We've been programmed to think this way by our surrounding culture who looks into the universe and sees no God. It should not be so for us. Luther prayed 6-8 hours per day, as did other giants of the faith. James the Lord's brother prayed so much that his knees developed knobs. Their accomplishments in the physical realm depended entirely on the spiritual battles on their knees. Pray.

Young Kids like Lollies and the Oldies like the Smiles
Sometimes I wonder what people take away the most when they make a trip to the doctor, for appointments of all sorts. After discussing the routines of many individuals as they go for their yearly checkup or trip to the doc for a cold, I came to the conclusion that it truly depends on age and perspective that determines the experience an individual may take away from the scary trip to the hospital.
I asked many friends and family members, of all ages, for the first thing they think of when going to the hospital comes to mind.
The most hilarious response I got was from my youngest sister and her friend. Keep in mind, these girls are 11 and 12 years old; My point is, they see the doctors as a playground with candy of all sorts. I said to my sister, "Harper what do you think about going to the hospital?", and the response I got within one second (I am not exaggerating) was, "I LOVE the lollipops; it's my favorite – also the stickers."
After hearing the younger generation's perspective on the annoying trip to the doctor, I am reminded of my routine as a child. Every time I got a shot at the doctor's office, if I didn't cry, my mom promised me a toy from the Disney Store on Michigan Ave; this was quite literally a recurring dream of mine, going to see hundreds of Mickey Mouses and stare in awe after the most painful experience. I give credit to every parent who drags their toddler to the doctor because man, I ask my mom today about what those trips to the doc was like and in response all I get is an "Absolutely terrible," the poor woman!
Now the next age… teenagers! What I learned from this quick survey was that teens get bored extremely easily. One in our world today would typically think the required trips to the doctor were bearable because they have social media, their phones, games, and other apps to entertain themselves with. This is most definitely not the case. I first asked senior Hudson Pokorny about what he takes away from the doctor and going into this, I expected that he would say it's simply a waste of time.The comment I got from Pokorny was: "I never go to the doctor but when I do, I think the thing I take out the most is just getting it over with. Its a ton of time for not a lot of one on one action with the doctor anyways". In shock, I now think that maybe teens take away a deeper and more intricate experience- a connection with the doctor- than I would have originally predicted.
Then…. I realized I was back to square one. Two girls in a class of mine gave me the responses I was finally looking for. Senior Nathalie Bravo said, "Sitting in the waiting room gets so boring". My hypothesis clicked into place . I feel the exact same way as she does, and if I was to go around a majority of the students here at DHS they would say extremely similar things. Another reason that came to mind as to why teenagers must dread this trip to the doctor so much I thought was because they do not feel comfortable with their own doctor. According to a study by Medical Press, it is known that about half of teenagers have never talked to a doctor alone (Rosenberg-Douglas). It may very well get boring, but for those who are less confident in going to the doctor alone, perhaps it is a scary thing.
The final age… adulthood! Whether it is mothers and fathers, grandmothers or grandparents, the trip to the doctor is no longer super enjoyable or super dreadful, it is routine. We see teens getting bored in the waiting room, but my mom's good friend Ms. Jen G said, "I thoroughly love sitting in the waiting room and having quiet time". To me, this is funny. To any other parent, I assume it's relatable. Perhaps a little bit of silence once in a while is nice, especially when usually your kids are running around all over the place. This spin on the doctor takes away the scarcity residing in these visits and brings relaxation in a more comical way into it. My grandma on the other hand, no longer dreads these but thinks nothing of the visits. She said to me, "It is the same thing every time. I love my doctor and the cute nurses," (Bev Bertsch). Bebe (what I call her), was the last of my test subjects. Man, the responses were kind of crazy to me.

Well it did snow here last night and that got me thinking about Christmas and how my pups will be going off to their new homes to celebrate the holidays with their new families. The thought of this makes me really happy but a little melancholy at the same time. I think it may be a bit of a hard Christmas for me this year.
Hey. Guess What?
I received an email from Carole, the woman that recently adopted a six-year old TT, this morning. Do you think she read my blog post from yesterday?
Hi Suddie,
We're having a small problem with Lexie and wondered if you could help. After two great weeks she's started going to the bathroom in the house, mostly at night, which I've been told is not unusual for adopted dogs. My question is, what's the best way to handle this with TTs? We crated her last night, and she was not a happy girl (and we weren't too happy either!).
And I responded:
Hi Carole.
Did you speak to Joy and ask if this was a problem previously? I would start with that. Did Joy also give you the name of the vet Lexie had been going to? They would probably also know if this has been a problem in the past.
I would start by taking Lexie out every two hours and crate her when you cannot watch her directly. Take her outside immediately when you remove her from her crate. If she crys while in the crate, you will just have to ignore her. I would ask Joy if she did this with her as well. Did Joy crate her when she left her at home alone or was she allowed to roam the house? This information might be useful. Does she cry even if she is crated in the same room as you?
I would also take up her water no later than 7 PM so she is not drinking in the hours before she goes to bed.
She probably just needs to get used to you and her new situation. It is a big change for her after 6 years. Be patient. I know it can be frustrating. It should get better in the next few weeks.

Rilakkuma: Lawson & Lottery items
A small Rilakkuma update!
At the end of March I tried the Banpresto Lawson Rilakkuma lottery and got prize H. I chose the Kii nail stickers!
Rilakkuma: Lawson x Rilakkuma 10th Anniversary Raffle
This week the new Lawson Banpresto raffle hit stores!
Baby, the Stars Shine Bright x ITO EN x Lawson campaign
I participated in the Lawson x BTSSB campaign today.
It starts with buying an ITO EN product such a green tea or Teas Tea. I got some orange and bergamot teas tea with free BTSSB tape.
And another with free printed tissues.
You can see all the available ones here and below.
To enter the prize draw to win one of 6 prizes you have to purchase the drink in store, use your ponta card and then go online.
Your receipt has a special number on.
First you register online, and then enter the number, this gives you one point to use in the draw. One point is one draw for a clear plastic file, and a chance for the photoshoot is 30 points. One point is earnt per drink bought up to 99!
I tried for the clear file twice!
You flip a coin and can pick your side.
It seems very difficult to win something and involves a lot of effort – buying drinks, registering points and the playing the raffle. I'm glad I tried it and got some free BTSSB tape but not sure Ill go to the effort of doing it again!
Lawson x Baby, The Stars Shine Bright
My favourite combini is teaming up with a lolita fashion brand?! Thanks to Ohtralala for bringing this to my attention!
Looks pretty complicated, but I shop at Lawson for something almost every day!
An Innocent World x 7 Eleven collab next please!
Happy 22nd of the month!
Happy 22nd! :D
I am eating this lovely Lawson strawberry roll cake, it's only available on the 22nd of each month.
Apparently most people here get paid on the 25th of the month, so this is a cute cheap treat to cheer you up when you've already spent the majority of your wage. I get paid on the 15th though! More information can be found on the rocket news 24 website.
It's pretty tasty! 8/10!
Rilakkuma: Rilakkuma x Lawson shopping basket keychains
Rilakkuma: Lawson Raffle take 2!
Rilakkuma: Lawson x Rilakkuma Aloha goods
I was excited last week to see Lawson's new gift campaign features Rilakkuma again! Selected food items (sandwiches, breads, sweets) have stickers and 30 stickers = a free gift! In the August 2012 campaign we got two Rilakkuma cups and in the following campaign 5 Miffy plates!! Yes…we eat a lot of bread.
This time around you can get plates again (would have preferred bowls!).
Or for 20 points this shopping bag.
I think I'm going to get the bag first as I already have a lot of plates!
As well as the new gift campaign Lawson and Lawson 100 have a new selection of Rilakkuma food!
I really like the Cinnamon Roll and Macadamia Chocolate Cake.
I'm looking forward to more Rilakkuma x Lawson items and special 10th anniversary goods!

At LabAutomation2010, Artel to Launch Latest Technology for Optimizing Automated Liquid Handlers
Product News Nov 25, 2009
At LabAutomation2010, Artel will launch new features of the ARTEL MVS® Multichannel Verification System, an objective performance assessment and optimization tool for automated liquid handlers.
New developments enhance measurement data comparability, increase the speed of volume verification, and allow users to reduce the overall variability of their laboratory processes.
The MVS will be demonstrated with automated liquid handlers from Beckman Coulter, Tecan, Agilent, and Hamilton in Artel's booth (#451) at LabAutomation2010, Palm Springs, California, January 24-26, 2010. The ARTEL MVS provides information on volumes transferred by each channel of an automated liquid handler in one procedure.
"There are a number of exciting developments in automated liquid handling that will positively alter the world of laboratory science. But operating new technology without an objective measurement tool is essentially like driving a car without a dashboard," said Kirby Pilcher, President, Artel. "Our recent MVS developments are aimed at giving laboratories more powerful information about the performance of their instrumentation. By more fully understanding their automated liquid handlers, laboratories can take steps to measurably improve quality, productivity and data integrity."
Also at LabAutomation, Artel will showcase its Liquid Handler Performance Verification service, in which Artel specialists provide on-site volume transfer performance assessment and optimization for automated liquid handlers.
An additional tool for laboratories looking to improve and verify the performance of their automated liquid handlers is LHTalk (www.lhtalk.org), the interactive forum dedicated exclusively to liquid handling. LHTalk includes user-generated questions and answers, blogs, and links regarding laboratory liquid handling. Artel will have Internet stations in its booth at LabAutomation for visitors to access this website.

King Rabbit: A new expansion is available for even more platformer thrillsWritten by Arcade Game Blog in Features on 14 September 2017 à 21:46
In a move to extend the lifespan on their apps, mobile game developers are presently coming up with various strategies. However, the one that seems to work out best is the delivery of regular updates or expansions. This brings in new content and eventually prevents players from getting bored over time. RareSloth is a developer who seems to have mastered the arts of updating its apps, and its latest work has indeed been welcomed!
You must have guessed it, we are actually referring to the latest patch delivered for King Rabbit, and if you are a player, you will certainly confirm the joy of finding a whole bunch of new levels in-game! Do note that three collections have already been released for the platformer and the latest just does not seem to be the last. It would indeed not be wise to stop when things are going so well!
King Rabbit
The Diamond Collection will cost gamers $1.99. However, do note that those who have already purchased the past three expansions can get it for free. That's right, nothing to pay for 64 new levels and tons of new perks to discover. It might help to remind new players that controlling the in-game rabbit will not always be as easy as it might seem to be! Fierce enemies and deadly traps will have to be surpassed. King Rabbit is all about platform-hopping thrills like no other!
Remember that the title is presently free on major download stores and its new trailer will surely give you a hint of what to expect. Stay tuned for additional details about your favourite titles and remember that the comment section is now open for you to share your thoughts!« Ankama will release Drag'n'Boom very soon and it's looking good!Block Fortress: Empires—expect a good mix between Minecraft and Clash of Clans »

Urban Forest Strike Teams support storm recovery
WASHINGTON — In response to the damages cause by hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate, thousands of federal, state, and private agencies have been deployed to areas that were impacted by these storms. These first responders help people take the first crucial steps in putting their lives back together in the aftermath of these storms.
However, there is another group of responders that go into storm-ravaged towns to aid the trees: the Urban Forest Strike Teams.
This 10-year-old program is a nationwide collaborative effort among state forestry agencies funded and trained through the USFS Urban and Community Forestry Program. Since 2007, the Southern UFST has been activated 12 times and mobilized across the South in response to hurricanes, tornadoes, and ice storms.
The catalyst for the creation of UFST was Hurricane Katrina. Widespread tree damage prompted the international Society of Arboriculture, Davey Resource Group, and USFS to deploy certified arborists into at least nine communities along the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast.
Urban foresters in state forestry agencies were frustrated that damaged but viable trees were being cut down and trees that posed a high risk to the public remained standing. The lack of an assessment strategy or trained staff hindered their ability to offer needed assistance to impacted communities.
Urban Forestry Coordinators of Virginia and North Carolina – Paul Revell and Leslie Moorman – reached out to the Southern Research Station for assistance. In 2007 Dudley Hartel, Urban Forestry South center manager, and Eric Kuehler, technology transfer specialist, developed the first UFST training program in collaboration with state forestry agencies.
A UFST is comprised of highly-trained specialists, including Certified Arborists® and foresters, who conduct damage assessments and determine whether the storm-damaged trees pose risks to the community.
The UFST walks the city streets, parks, and other public property; evaluates damaged trees; and, enters GIS data to support mitigation and recovery. These real-time data provide the city with information on which trees were impacted, where they are located, the extent of the damage, and whether the damaged trees pose a risk.
UFSTs also provide communities with the information necessary to apply for FEMA public assistance and debris removal, as well as connecting communities with potential partners to help replant a community's forest.

I know that technically summer doesn't end until next week, when when working Americans celebrate having jobs by not going to them. Or something like that. But Junior takes the bus to first grade Wednesday morning, so this weekend is the last one before the REAL marker of time, the first day of school.
We had our last campout at my sister's house Friday night. It was hot and sticky out, and the mosquitoes had a field day. It was also a very destructive campout, and I wonder if maybe they'll think better of doing it again next year. Items that were destroyed: a piece of their sprinkler system when the neighbor drove a tent stake through the hose/tubing. We didn't know until the next morning when he pulled it out and the water started flowing a la Jed Clampett discovering oil. And then part of my air mattress got caught in my truck latch and was destroyed. And someone backed into (slightly, no damage) Mr. Dump's car. You know, typical Friday night/Saturday morning.
Nature held off on the gross weather until this weekend, so we didn't go up to Canobe Lake Park, as I was originally thinking. I just hate doing that when there's really no place to go to get out of the heat the way there is down at Disney. Plus, there's no way Mr. Dump would have gone with us on a day like this. So it was low key, I did some cleaning, Junior and I took his RC car out for a walk around the neighborhood. It's ghostly quiet out there. I expected to see more people, or at least hear them. There are three in-ground pools within 6 houses of us, and as far as I could tell, at least two of them weren't being used (I couldn't see through the fence of the third, but I wasn't really hearing normal pool sounds). Where the hell is everyone? Am I missing something? Is there a parade? Free ice cream somewhere? What?!
We picked six strawberries from our five plants today. I'm not very good about taking care of them, or even checking output, so when we do it's a special treat. I think I'll plant more next year, just because Junior loves strawberries all of a sudden, so I haven't gotten to eat many of them.
So anyway, that's why I have time to write to you, because it's too hot to do anything outside, and I don't feel like cleaning the bathroom. Can you blame me?

Pingdom is an uptime and performance monitoring service for web sites. I've blogged about Pingdom in the past. Their blog, Royal Pingdom, has interesting posts about the Internet, particularly about large sites. I use Pingdom's service on my business web site Dancing Bison.
Pingdom now has a new RESTful API. The API returns JSON content. It will replace their older SOAP-based API by the end of August 2011. The new API is read-write, and allows you to do anything that you can do via their control panel; in fact, they say that their new control panel will be built entirely upon this API (so they'll be eating their own dog food, a good sign :-)
It's still in public beta, but they say it will most likely not change. Also, the API is usable even for free Pingdom accounts.
Here is the post about the new API on Pingdom's blog:

Spoiled meat is no laughing matter. Causes may vary, but the germs that grow on bad meat can cause serious health consequences. Oftentimes you'll notice spoilage, but sometimes the damage comes later due to poor handling of the meat or less-than-ideal storage conditions. In all cases, your best bet is to err on the side of safety. If you have any doubts about the quality of the roast, ground beef or steak, throw it out.
Use Your Senses
The color of your beef may or may not indicate spoilage. The animal's age and diet affects color, as does where the cut of beef comes from – muscles that get a lot of work, such as a chuck roast near the neck of a steer, may appear darker than muscles that don't have much work to do, such as a tenderloin steak from the back. That said, brown or darkened meat can indicate spoilage. If the meat is also sticky or slimy to the touch, with an off odor that strikes you as odd, the meat is definitely spoiled and could make you sick.
Check the Date
To keep yourself safe from questionable meat, learn the safety time periods and stick to them. Grocery stores do part of the job for you by indicating "Sell by" and "Use by" dates. Beyond those guidelines, the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service recommends that most types of beef, such as steaks, chops and roasts, stay in your fridge from three to five days, and that ground beef stay in the fridge for only one to two days. Meat kept beyond those times has the possibility of going bad.
Check Your Fridge
Storage dates are a good guideline, but only if your refrigerator keeps meat at a safe temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, or at 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the freezer. Many refrigerators come with a built-in thermometer, but older models don't. For older models, buy an inexpensive refrigerator thermometer or check the temp with an instant-read meat thermometer. Or, use a candy thermometer inserted into food or liquid that has been in the fridge for at least 24 hours. Keeping your fridge at the right temperature not only keeps your meat safe, but protects your health from germs that may grow on other foods as well.
Handle Meat the Right Way
Paying attention to all the food safety rules doesn't have to be a chore – think of it as a food safety insurance policy. Mishandling meat can cause it to spoil much faster than normal. For example, bacteria on meat or any other perishable food can double in number in 20 minutes at room temperature. The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service cautions never to leave food at room temperature for longer than two hours, or one hour when the temperature is over 90 degrees.

So, What's the Deal with SerializationException in Remoting & TypeFilterLevel?
Applications that used to work well in Framework 1.0 give System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException when run under Framework 1.1. The exception has this format:
System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Because of security restrictions, the type (type name) cannot be accessed. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Request failed.
This issue is documened at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/changeinfo/Backwards1.0to1.1/default.aspx\#00000153 (Secure Serialization in .NET Remoting - Backwards Breaking Changes from version 1.0 to 1.1)
A level of security has been added to Serialization. Specifically, there are now two levels of serialization security: Low (Default) and Full.
Low Level Security:
• Remoting infrastructure objects. These are the types needed to make remoting work at a basic level.
• Primitive types, and reference and value types that are composed of primitive types.
• Reference and value types that are marked with the SerializableAttribute attribute but do not implement the ISerializable interface.
• System-provided types that implement ISerializable with a reduced permission set.
• Custom types that implement ISerializable.
• Types that implement the ILease interface.
• ObjRef objects used for activation (to support client-activated objects).
Full Level Security:
• ObjRef objects passed as parameters.
• Objects that implement the ISponsor interface.
• Objects that are inserted between the proxy and client pipeline by the IContributeEnvoySink interface.
In version 1.1 of the .Net Framework, a new security feature was added to the .Net Remoting infrastructure called Type Filtering. This feature, which is enabled by default, limits the type of objects that may be marshaled by a Remoting client to a Remoting server. Type Filtering effectively prohibits the server from deserializing instances of CLR types that may serve as vectors of attack. This feature is part of Microsoft's commitment to be secure by default.
The following outlines several of the threats that are mitigated by use of this feature (we are not going to give out details about how to exploit these threats), specifically when typeFilterLevel is set to Low:
Exposing a Remoting server with a method or member that takes a delegate.
Threat: Delegates may be used to invoke methods on other types that have the same signature
Exposing a Remoting server with a method or member that takes a MarshalByRefObject type.
Threat: The serialized form of a MarshalByRefObject contains a mutable URL
Exposing a Remoting server with a method or member that takes an ISerializable type.
Threat: Deserialization of an ISerializable type causes the Remoting infrastructure to run the type's code.
Exposing a Remoting server with a method or member that takes an type found in the GAC on the server machine in an assembly without APTCA
Threat: Types in the GAC are well known to anyone with the .Net Framework installed.
Exposing a Remoting server that enables remote clients to register sponsors
Threat: There is no limit on the number of sponsors that can be registered.
You can set this functionality programmatically or using the config file:
Programmatic Solution:
IDictionary props = new Hashtable();
props["typeFilterLevel"] = "Full";
BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider formatterProvider = new BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider(props, null);
Here's the VB.NET code (just in case!)
If you are in VS 2003:
Dim h_Table As IDictionary
h_Table = New Hashtable()
h_Table("port") = 52000
Dim obj_FormatProvider As New BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider()
obj_FormatProvider.TypeFilterLevel = Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.TypeFilterLevel.Full
Dim chnl As New TcpChannel(h_Table, Nothing, obj_FormatProvider)
If you are in VS 2002:
Dim h_Table As IDictionary
h_Table = New Hashtable()
h_Table("port") = 52000
Dim h_Table2 As IDictionary
h_Table2 = New Hashtable()
h_Table2("typeFilterLevel") = "Full"
Dim obj_FormatProvider2 As New BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider(h_Table2, Nothing)
Dim chnl2 As New TcpChannel(h_Table, Nothing, obj_FormatProvider2)
Config File Solution:
To use a configuration file to set the serialization level, you must explicitly specify the typeFilterLevel attribute of the <formatter> element. Although this is typically done on the server side, you must also specify this attribute to control the serialization level for any channel on the client registered to listen for a callback. The following example sets the serialization level to Full for both the SoapFormatter and BinaryFormatter in this application domain.
type="ServiceType, common"
objectUri=" ServiceType.soap"
<channel ref="http">
<provider ref="wsdl" />
<formatter ref="soap" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
<formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconautomaticdeserializationinnetremoting.asp for more info.
Your feedback is welcome.

Well, actually, the Thunder pasted the Kings in the 1st qtr, 39 to 22. The rest of the game? The Kings 67 points, and the Thunder 63 points.
That's the way it goes sometimes, and that's the way it goes sometimes.
The good: Omri Casspi shooting 7 for 9 from the field (and was 1-2 from the line), and had a block, steal and a turnover. 3 rebounds (1 offensive), and no assists to go along with that.
Jason Thompson's statline, 11 points on 3-4 shooting (and 2-2 from the line) along with 9 boards (5 offensive) will jump out. His interior defense was poor, and got himself into foul trouble in the 1st half when the Kings got blown out and lost the game.
The best for last: Kevin Martin had 27 points, 5-19 floor (3-8 from 3 and 14-14 line) most of which came in the 1st half just to keep the Kings afloat. Unfortunately, Martin only scored 3 points in the 2nd half.
The bad? Oh, there's a lot of that. Spencer Hawes shot poorly (40% is not what I was hoping from him), and that was after some garbage time shots he made in the 4th qtr. His interior defense was poor, and he wasn't as aggressive at all times. He didn't lack effort, but he did look a bit off kilter.
So did the entire team.
Drew Packham of NBA.com ranked the likelihood of the Rookie Race, and Tyreke Evans came out first. Games like tonight, though, showed why Evans is a rookie.
Quite often, Evans look tentative tonight where in the pre-season he was said to be aggressive most of the time. Russell Westbrook, the young stud PG of Oklahoma City, attacked Evans all night, and more importantly, shot so well from the outside that it stung Evans a bit. Westbrook's jumper has improved, but that doesn't mean he's going to shoot that well consistently all night again.
On the other hand, Tyreke Evans, as several people in the StR game threads noted, does not play off the ball on defense anywhere as well as he does on the ball. (Westbrook's jumpers were absolutely wide open. RW0 should hit 90% of those if he's an All-Star.)
Sean May did not grab a single rebound tonight. In 18 minutes. I really wonder if Paul Westphal can afford to continue starting May & Thompson together when May was so ineffective. The Hornets are definitely a playoff team in the West, and they have a player you might have heard of in Chris Paul. (He's pretty good, yeah?)
I do think, though, that there is an emotional component that Hawes & Thompson have together as a duo. They both have a bigger pep n the step with each other on the court. They know their futures will be intimately tied together forever, both within the organization and outside, and they act like it. I think Paul Westphal made his point to Spencer Hawes by starting Sean May, but starting Sean May vs the Hornets would be a massive mistake.
So would starting Desmond Mason be a mistake? No. I think Westphal got that one right, and it does make sense. There are more reasons, other than starting Omri Casspi, to start Desmond Mason. He doesn't have to play more minutes than Casspi, but he is a reasonable fit (given where the Kings are at) with Evans, Martin, Thompson and Hawes as the other 4 starters. He plays defense (guarding Kevin Durant is not exactly simple work), and will do little things that matter to his coach.
Did Paul Westphal make any mistakes tonight? Eh, not really. These games are likely, and pretty likely to happen once in awhile over the course of an 82 game season. It obviously wasn't an ideal way to start a season, but these losses aren't the end of the world. OKC stayed hot, and maintained a big lead. The Kings competed throughout, and while not always in wise, efficient or useful fashion still they competed. This team didn't quit being down in the low 20's with OKC playing well on their home court.
The point? OKC won tonight as much as Sacramento played terribly in the 1st quarter.
There is something to be said for that. I have a hard time throwing this team under the bus after one game on the road vs another young up & coming team with top flight talent of their own. (It helps quite a bit that you get the 2nd & 5th pick–Durant & Green–in 2007, the 4th overall pick in 2008–Westbrook–, and the 3rd overall pick in 2009–Harden–3 consecutive years.)
So why do I think the Kings lost? Partially it was rebounding, although the Thunder only grabbed a couple of offensive rebounds in the 2nd half (by my memory–they might have grabbed 3 or 4 by the end of garbage time), and after looking at the play by play, the Thunder did in fact have 6 o-boards for the 1st half.
The Kings had 20 of their boards in the 2nd half, and the Thunder had 22 boards. So while the Kings got out-boarded by 7, most of that was in the first half.
Also, the Kings shot awful tonight (40%), and the Thunder shot 50%. Ball game.
So what would I change heading into New Orleans? The Sean May starting experiment is over, and 0 rebounds proved that. Also, as I said, the energy of Hawes & Thompson is crucial to both getting the most out of their abilities, and I think PW would be remiss to ignore that. Desmond Mason needs to play better, but I don't mind him starting. As long as Omri Casspi can perform off the bench, it's a nice safety valve to have for a team that could lose a lot of games this season. (And most likely will lose a lot of games.)
What I want from this road trip, and I didn't state it explicitly here or anywhere else, was to see competitive games each time out. It's easy to get pasted on the road. That happens. On the other hand, it says something that you didn't quit when you could have.
If you were hoping that this was a 35 win team, keep hoping. Until then, all you can really hope for is the team plays hard, and with intelligent passion.

Meaning, Mind and Communication
Explorations in Cognitive Semiotics
Edited By Jordan Zlatev, Göran Sonesson and Piotr Konderak
This volume constitutes the first anthology of texts in cognitive semiotics – the new transdisciplinary study of meaning, mind and communication that combines concepts and methods from semiotics, cognitive science and linguistics – from a multitude of established and younger scholars. The chapters deal with the interaction between language and other semiotic resources, the role of consciousness and concepts, the nature of metaphor, the specificity of human evolution and development, the relation between cognitive semiotics and related fields, and other central topics. They are grouped in four sections: (i) Meta-theoretical perspectives, (ii) Semiotic development and evolution, (iii) Meaning across media, modes and modalities, (iv) Language, blends and metaphors.

Chapter 25
Linguistic Theory in the Framework of Cognitive Semiotics: The Role of Semio-Syntax
1. The meaning of grammar
When approaching questions of grammar, we often express our analysis in terms of so-called sentence trees. The structure and the principles of these "trees", of course, vary according to the theories of grammar they presuppose, but the idea of there being some sort of spatial unfolding in the grammar of sentences is pervasive. The spatiality of the trees (or 'phrase markers') is probably inspired by the intuition that sentences make sense and therefore somehow form a meaningfully articulated whole, a whole of connected parts. However, this does not prevent grammarians from letting the trees generate a terminal string reproducing the word order of sentences under analysis. So the sentence trees are supposed to show both a word order and how they make sense. My claim is that this double function implies a more developed representation, one that separates the semantic sense-making and the linear representation of the sentence required by its phonetic expression.
Let us just consider one example of the "double-function tree" in current grammatical thinking, shown in Figure 1. The graph shown is a sentence tree1 jokingly used in an invitation to a seminar at the Department of Linguistics, University of Copenhagen (= KU). The terminal string is spelled out in (1).

Oil prices extended gains on Tuesday after Saudi Arabia pledged to curb exports from next month and OPEC called on several members to boost compliance with output cuts to help rein in oversupply and tackle flagging prices.
Gains were also supported by a warning from Halliburton's executive chairman that the growth in North America's rig count was "showing signs of plateau", a possible threat to US shale oil production, Reuters reported.
Global benchmark Brent crude for September delivery was up 22 cents, or 0.5%, at $48.82 a barrel after rising 1.1% in the previous session. US West Texas Intermediate futures were up 23 cents, or 0.5%, at $46.57 a barrel.
In a meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Monday, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and non-OPEC producers discussed extending their deal to cut output by 1.8 million barrels per day beyond March 2018 if necessary.
Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih added that his country would limit its crude exports to 6.6 million bpd in August, almost 1 million bpd below the levels of a year ago.
Nigeria voluntarily agreed to join the deal by capping or cutting its output from 1.8 million bpd, once it stabilizes at that level. Nigeria, which has been producing 1.7 million bpd recently, had been exempt from the output cuts.
OPEC said stocks held by industrial nations had fallen by 90 million barrels over January to June, but were still 250 million barrels above the five-year average, which is the target level for OPEC and non-OPEC.
"Despite the goals for rebalancing, the market is still not sure that inventories would fall precipitously to achieve their target," said Tomomichi Akuta, senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting in Tokyo.
Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said an additional 200,000 bpd of oil could be removed from the market if compliance to OPEC-led deal was 100%.
"In our view ... these meetings were aimed at saving face and diverting the market's attention away from Iraq's poor compliance, shale's resilience and Libya's and Nigeria's markedly higher output," Britain's Barclays bank said.

Announced earlier this year and shown to very few people behind closed doors at AXPONA 2019, the Warwick Acoustics Aperio electrostatic headphone system is one for the ages. At roughly $24,000, it should perform at the highest level, and I'll say right now it doesn't disappoint. Audiophile Stye was given exclusive rights to publish a video of the system before its official release at the Munich High End show in May.
I spent quite a bit of time with this system and was absolutely enthralled. My previous favorite headphones have included the Stax 009, Focal Utopia and a preproduction version of the HIFIMAN HE1000. After listening to the Warwick Acoustics Aperio, it is now unequivocally my favorite headphone in the world. I must admit that I haven't heard the Sennheiser HE-1 flagship, but I'm willing to bet the Aperio will be right up there in performance, at half the price.
I listened to a few Beck tracks off his Sea Change album as it's very familiar to me and it can sound really nice on a high end system. From the opening acoustic guitar on The Golden Age to the tiny little bells about 15 seconds into the track, I was immediately giggling to myself because it was so good. I don't often chuckle when something is good, but once in a while the sound is so impressive the only thing I can do is laugh.
High frequencies and a liquid mid-range are in the wheelhouse of most electrostatic products, so I was eager to hear how this new Warwick flagship handled the bottom end. Based on my listening to this system in an ultra-quiet location I'd say the Aperio offers bass as extended and as tight as I've ever heard (given the somewhat limited selection of tracks at the show). This system isn't bass-shy at all, it's absolutely not boomy, and the lowest frequencies are reproduced as tight as a drum.
Certainly a longer listening period is necessary, but I made it back to this room twice and immediately email @austinpop to ask him to schedule a time when he could give the system a listen. As out resident headphone expert, I was eager to hear what he thought of the new Aperio from Warwick. I won't steel his thunder, so I'll let him leave a comment to this post and any additional details he can offer that may be more relevant coming from someone who is well versed in flagship headphones and amplifiers.
Details: I talked to the entire Warwick team and heard the Aperio story from start to finish. The lengths Warwick went to sourcing components, developing its own electrostatic transducer are impressive. Think about that, this company is one of only a handful that designs and manufacturers its own electrostatic "panels." Thus, when building the amplifier for this system, Warwick was able to design it perfectly for the ESL headphone of its own making.
Warwick uses a customized Linux install for the single board computer inside that operates its Ethernet input. Rather than build a solution from scratch or purchase a module such as that from StreamUnlimited or Conversdigital, Warwick elected to use a single board computer running Linux. This gives them endless flexibility to update and expand its functionality in the future. Plus, the company's engineers don't have to wait for a third party to fix any bugs that may pop up once the product is officially released.
There is so much more to say about the Warwick Acoustics Aperio, but I'll hold off until austicpop receives a review sample and publishes his complete review in the near future.

Watchmaker Fossil has just released its latest smartwatch model dubbed as the Q Founder.
Like Tag Heuer's own Connected wearable device, the Q Founder runs on Google's Android operating system and is powered by Intel technology.
Fossil's latest smartwatch model is now available through its physical and online stores and can be purchased for $295. Like most smartwatches currently available in the market, the Q Founder comes with a fitness tracker and connectivity support for smartphones. This means the device can connect with installed apps and provide alerts for notifications via Bluetooth, PC Mag reported.
The smartwatch also works with Fossil's own mobile app that comes with various functions.
According to the company, the Q Founder is compatible with devices running on Android 4.4 and iOS 8.2 OS versions and above.
"What's most exciting about Q Founder is not only how it looks, but the true flexibility it offers our customers," Jill Elliott-Sones, Fossil's Chief Creative Officer said in a press release.
"Thanks to its ability to pair with both iOS and Android devices, the personalization opportunities it brings, we're more accessible to people, and able to complement even the most unique personal styles," she continued.
As for its other features, the Q Founder has a battery capacity that can last for 24 hours. It also sports a 46 millimeter LCD face with a resolution of 360x326 pixels. As for its storage, the Q Founder packs 4GB of internal memory, Droid Life reported.
The device's 13 millimeter-thick body is attached to a chrome band which provides a certain level of elegance to the high-tech timepiece.
But, despite its flashy appearance, the Q Founder clearly looks like a smartwatch, and not like a luxury timepiece, according to Wired. However, the overall look of the Q Founder still works well and shows how Fossil was able to merge high-tech functionality with aesthetic appeal.
"We customized the case and the lugs, and it's a really beautiful style," Elliott-Sones said. "Probably, today, the technology and size for what it is, it's still a very specific customer. But what we bring to the table is something a little more beautifully designed and in line with our aesthetic."
The Q Founder can be purchased starting today and the device serves as the latest member of Fossil's Q roster. In late October, the watchmaker unveiled its other devices, namely the Q Reveler and Q Dreamer fitness trackers and the Q Grant smartwatch, for $125 each.

Hi ,
Post the question clearly!
If I am not wrong , you want to edit / cutomize ess iviews.
you can do it using homepage framework method.
NWDI is the best solution for customizing ESS.
Home Page Framework
ESS : Webdypro iView Customizing
Clarifications regarding customization of ESS iViews
How to do the modification in standard ESS/MSS business packges using NWDI?
Koti Reddy
James, I guess you are referring to customise the iviews of ESS through the Self Service Admin Role. Once you assign your self that role you could preview the iview and do a ctrl+ click and you will be able to customise the UI for the same.
However if you want to do any major modifications, as said in the earlier post, you would have to use NWDI.
If you want to view Self-Service Admin (SSA), you will have to ask your server support /admin to deploy Self-Service Admin package in line with other BP SP.
Then you will be able to view (SSA) @

9 Words Your Kid Should Be Saying Before 3 Years Old
A child's first words are magical. Whether it's "mama," "dada," or something else entirely, you feel a mixture or love, pride, and amazement at how quickly your baby is growing. Unfortunately, the process of learning to talk can also be a source of stress for parents who worry their child is falling behind developmentally. Although a baby or toddler's vocabulary is relatively small, it should be expanding rapidly by age 3. In fact, there are some words your kids should be saying before 3 years old that you'll want to listen for to make sure they're on track.
By the time they're around 3, Kids Health noted that your child's vocabulary will likely include 200 or more words. They're also beginning to speak in short, simple sentences of three or four words. And, because they're beginning to speak more clearly, you should be able to understand most of it.
Here are nine words, phrases, and concepts your 3 year old should be using.
1. Names
By 3 years old, a child should be able to say both their own name and their parents' names, according to Parents. This is especially important for children who may be starting preschool around this time, because they'll need to communicate that information to others.
2. Their Age
Parents also noted that a 3 year old should know their age. It's a question adults love to ask little kids, and they should be able to answer accurately (even if the number of fingers they hold up doesn't match what they say).
3. Yes And No
By age 3, your child should be well established at saying "yes" or "no," according to a study detailed in the Daily Mail. If you've got a "threenager" on your hands, you may be much more used to hearing "no."
4. Thank You
The previously mentioned study also noted that a 3 year old should also understand and use the words "thank you." If you can get a kid this young to be polite and use their manners, hopefully it'll stick throughout their life.
5. Animals
A 3 year old should be able to identify a range of animals, according to Parents. They should be able to point out a cat or dog with ease, and may even use this vocabulary to pester you for a pet.
6. Objects
By age 3, your child should be able to name the majority of objects around him or her, according to Parents. That includes things like their toys, books, and balls.
7. Pronouns
A 3 year old should be using pronouns correctly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That means they're beginning sentences with "I" or "we."
8. Numbers
Your child may have learned to recite numbers when they were younger, but they may be more of a memory trick. At age 3, they should actually be counting according to PBS Parents.
9. Questions
This probably won't come as a shock to parents of inquisitive little ones: a 3 year old should be asking lots of questions, according to Baby Center. Expect to hear things like "what?", "why?, and "who?" on a regular basis.

Scroll down to the script below, click on any sentence (including terminal blocks!) to jump to that spot in the video!
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good packages.
This system of creating a "virtual DOM", or "tree" of React element objects and rendering that to the page is a really cool idea. But, it's already a total pain: imagine if we needed another
React.createElement() inside of the
span... then another element inside of that. Woof.
Because the React element objects are meant to represent HTML elements... it would be kinda cool if, instead, we could actually write HTML right here! Like, for example, what if we could say
const el = then write an
h2 tag with
Lift Stuff! and add a
span tag inside with a heart. I mean, that's exactly what we're ultimately building with
|... lines 1 - 3
|const el =
Lift Stuff! ❤
;
|... lines 5 - 8
But, of course, this is not real JavaScript code: it's just me hacking HTML right into the middle of my JavaScript file. So, no surprise: PhpStorm is so angry with me. And, if you move back to the terminal tab that is running Webpack, oh, it's furious: Unexpected Token.
To teach it how to parse JSX, open your
webpack.config.js file. In normal Webpack, you need to install and enable a React Babel preset: a rule that understands JSX. In Encore, you can do this by adding
|... lines 1 - 3
|... lines 5 - 28
|... lines 31 - 34
To make this take affect, go stop Encore and restart it:
yarn run encore dev --watch
Oh, it fails! Ah, we need to install a new package: copy the command name. Then, paste:
yarn add babel-preset-react --dev
By the way, the next version of this package will be called
@babel/preset-react. So, if you see that package name in the future, don't worry, it's really the same thing.
And... done! Try Encore again:
yarn run encore dev --watch
Bah! It fails again - but this is my fault: I forgot to remove my extra
el constant. After removing that, yea! Encore builds successfully! This means that it actually understands our crazy JSX code! Try it - move to your browser and refresh!
|... lines 1 - 3
|const el =
Lift Stuff! ❤
;
|ReactDom.render(el, document.getElementById('lift-stuff-app'));
We get the exact same output as before! An
h2 with a
span inside. Now, here's the really important part. Just like before, we're using
console.log() to print this
el. Check this out in the browser - woh! It's a React element object! It's the exact same thing we had before!
This special syntax - JSX - allows you to write, what looks like HTML right inside JavaScript. But in reality, Babel translates this into
React.createElement() calls: this JSX generates the
React.createElement() code we had before!
Hey, we solved our problem! We found a much prettier and more convenient way to use the React element system.
Except... PhpStorm still hates me for using this. But, you can already see on top that it's asking us if we want to switch our language to support JSX. You can make the change there, or go to PhpStorm -> Preferences and search for "JSX". Under Languages & Frameworks, find JavaScript and change the language version to "React JSX".
Hit ok and... boom! PhpStorm is happy!
From now on, we will exclusively use JSX. But, don't forget what it really is! Just a fancy way of creating React element objects. Remembering this fact will help you understand React as things get more complex.
A few minutes ago, we installed & setup the
eslint package. And now that we're using React, we can activate some new ESLint rules that will give us all kinds of cool notices and warnings that are specific to developing in React.
To install these new ESLint rules, move over to your terminal, find your open tab and run:
yarn add eslint-plugin-react --dev
Once that finishes, open the
.eslintrc.js file. To use the rules from this package, update the
extends option to have
You won't notice anything immediately, but as we keep developing in React, I'll point out the warnings that come from this.
Ok, we've learned how to create & render React element objects. But to really use React, we need to talk about React components.

Looking up I noticed a light fixture just hanging around, barely.
I'm not sure what happened here - rot? Squirrel damage? But repairs, or "repairs," were done by someone. And not very well.
The electrical box, which used to be attached properly to the soffit, no longer is.
It's just hanging around!
And dangerously.
Looking closely, that is sheet metal.
Who knows when this wondrous repair was done, but it probably won't take long before that metal, and the wind, cuts into the wire's insulation and causes a short.
It is ugly and wrong. Clearly it is covering the original problem, but who knows what is lurking beneath that mess of metal sheeting.
My recommendation: when a problem is discovered on a house, rather than trying to effect repairs in an unprofessional and dangerous way, think carefully and hire someone who knows how to handle it! And to simply throw this up and then try to sell it to someone else as a problem solved is pathetic. All houses with "remodeling" should be carefully considered prior to an offer.

With the 1st of June being this coming Saturday, winter is almost here. Please ensure that your child has a warm school hoodie or jacket to put on when playing outside. Plain navy track pants are perfectly fine. The uniform shop is still
in operation until Friday June 21st, although some sizes have already sold out. There is plenty of second hand uniform items available at $3.00 per item. It is also worth checking Lost Property, provided your child's clothing has been
named. Generic items such as navy track pants can be purchased from PSW during Term 3, in anticipation of the full range being available in the Term 3 holidays.

Crow Hunt Quandary, Part One
By Maddy Butcher Gray
To understand the current brouhaha surrounding Utah's pending crow hunt, it helps to know about the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. The model was referred to several times at the Utah's Wildlife Board public hearing, where the board voted 3-2 in favor of the crow hunt.
It derives from an 1842 Supreme Court case which addressed hunting, wildlife, and set in motion the placement of wildlife into public trust.
In a nutshell, that's how we've gone from Open Season on Everything (circa early 1800's) to protected species, endangered species, and hunted species with seasons, bag limits, etc. etc.
Sportsmen have, for over a century, had a seat at the wildlife management table. They didn't get it for free. In Utah, the hook and bullet contingent supports 94 percent of the state's wildlife department budget with its licenses, taxes on ammunition, duck stamps, and the like.
