I'm starting to see signs of spring… The sun is peeking over the horizon on my way into the market in the morning, and not yet entirely gone by the time I leave in the evening. The forecast for Saturday is 57 degrees! The selection of greens is getting bigger. And we have Camelot Valley chevre again!
As I write this, Dusty is preparing
dinner. Nope, turns out it's a drink. But very soon, Dusty will be preparing dinner! At this time in the week, we're often still eating the stragglers that didn't sell from the previous week, but tonight we were so excited by some of the options available that we brought home a package of sweet Italian sausage, some Apple Tree chevre (because we do have more of it in stock than the Camelot Valley…), and a bag of frilly scarlet mustard greens to top a sourdough pizza crust.
I love pizza, and chevre, and North Mountain Pastures sausage, but what I am *really* looking forward to about tonight's dinner is the mustard greens. I like normal mustard greens okay sometimes (Dusty always loves them), but these frilly scarlet greens are a different thing entirely. They're also known as "Red Frill" or "Ruby Streaks", depending (it seems) on the seed company. By any name, they are tender, spicy, al dente, and delicious. The last time we had them, Dusty turned them into a Caesar-type salad, and I think it was the best salad I've ever had. If you like arugula, you just might love frilly scarlet mustard greens.

Edward Hopper's paintings have long been beloved, but during quarantine, they have seemed suddenly new again. His isolated figures and emptied streets seem like uncanny snapshots of real life. And with summer upon us, Hopper's 1952 painting Morning Sun strikes a particular chord—in fact, it's been called it one of "the ultimate images of summer."In it, a woman, modelled on the painter's wife, Jo, is pictured in a…

Oh, how I enjoyed creating this collage with layer upon layer of vintage French ephemera from 2 Lil' Owls via Design Cuts. The creative process brings me such joy. I came across the perfect quote yesterday about this joy but I didn't make a note of it and I can't remember whether I saw it on a blog post or Twitter. Here are some other quotes instead! The Picasso comes closest to a part of what I'm feeling.
"If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint." Edward Hopper
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Pablo Picasso
"The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity."
Alberto Giacometti

"To me the most important thing is the sense of going on. You know how beautiful things are when you're traveling." Edward Hopper
Until I started exploring the Metropolitan Museum of Modern art website, I had no idea about Hopper's early etchings, which pre-figure many of his later oil paintings. He would continue to do preparatory pencil and ink sketches, works of art in themselves.
Due to a hiccup with copyright renewal, I am able to offer Nighthawks, one of Hopper's most famous paintings, at my vintage store, although for the US market only. As an enormous fan of Hopper's work, I am thrilled.
His widow, Josephine, handed over 3,000 of her husband's works to the Whitney Museum and the gallery held a Hopper exhibition last year. Interestingly, various sources on the internet say that Hopper had originally planned for the work, completed at the beginning of 1942, to be called Night Hawks.
Take care and keep laughing!

While the penis is one of the least harmed organs, accidents can happen. Though not common, large hospitals may see a number of cases of penile injuries each year.
The main roles of the penis are to carry urine and sperm out of the body. There are 3 tubes inside the penis. One is called the urethra. It is hollow and carries urine from the bladder through the penis to the outside. The other 2 tubes are called the corpora cavernosa. These are spongy tubes that are soft until filled with blood during an erection. The 3 tubes are wrapped together by a very tough fibrous sheath called the tunica albuginea. During sex, the stiffness of the penis makes it hard enough to be inserted into the woman's vagina. In this case, the urethra acts as a channel for semen to be ejaculated into the vagina.

Trouble for Ted Williams!
The man with the golden voice saw his reputation tarnished on a trip to Hollywood when he allegedly raised that voice to his daughter and the cops were called!
Until then, William's first-ever trip to Hollywood had been thrilling for him, as he literally jumped for joy upon meeting basketball star Kobe Bryant.
He also waved to fans from a tour bus and vowed to not to backslide into the habits of his criminal past.
But at about 9 p.m. on Monday, cops responded to a disturbance call at the Renaissance Hotel, where they say William's and his daughter were embroiled in a heated argument.
A police spokesman said an investigation was conducted and the two individuals were transferred to the Hollywood station. No one was arrested or booked for any crime in relation to this incident.
Williams and his daughter were released less than an hour later.

Freshman Sam Weir (John Francis Daley) is a geek. His sister, Lindsay (Linda Cardellini), is a freak. They, along with their offbeat classmates &mdash Rush-loving burnout Nick (Jason Segel), his buddy Ken (Seth Rogen), and nerd nonpareil Bill (Martin Starr) — try to make their way through high school circa 1980, a melee of big rock, Monty Python skits, and enough Star Wars to choke a Wookiee.
Judd Apatow: We wanted to do a show about the truth, which is that it was really hard in high school. Sometimes things didn't work out at all and all you had at the end of the day was your goofy friends, and maybe that was enough. You know, it was always about taking horrible physical and emotional beatings, but not about winning. It was never about winning.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Paul Feig: When I was that age, I wish somebody had given me an honest accounting of what they had gone through. That would have been much more comforting than watching TV shows where everyone is sexy and good-looking and has adult problems. I was afraid of girls, awkward with my friends, and just trying to get through the day without getting my ass kicked.
Jason Segel: My favorite moment is this scene where there's a fly ball, and the ball is coming toward Bill [Starr]. He's terrified, but he manages to get his glove up and catch the ball. It's this beautiful, victorious moment. And then they pull back, and you realize it's only the first out.
Apatow: They're actually losing the game. That was our version of a victory.
Freak to be You and Me
Segel: I got sent the Freaks and Geeks script and was blown away. It was just brilliant. What was interesting was that the characters were kind of undefined in the original script. It was like Freak 1, Freak 2, Freak 3, Freak 4.
Apatow: Paul had a very specific vision from the beginning in terms of its style and tone. But he hadn't really fleshed out the stoners, because he wasn't a stoner and didn't know the world that well. So we decided to read a lot of actors and then have Paul rewrite the script based on who he cast to play the freaks and the geeks.
Segel: So they literally did an international freak-and-geek search to find the seven strangest people.
Apatow: We brought in all these kids who would have never even been brought in to be on a TV show, because they didn't necessarily look like people you would see on a show about high school kids. At that time, everyone playing high school kids was gorgeous.
Feig: I was terrified we were going to get stuck with beautiful nerds. The infamous "Oh, she wears glasses, and she has her hair pinned up, so she's a nerd. But when the glasses come off…"
Apatow: So we held these open-call auditions, and thousands of really interesting-looking people showed up — people who had never even considered being actors, because most of the time people aren't looking for actors that look like real people.
Seth Rogen: I was 16 years old and doing stand-up comedy at the time, and I wanted to start making money, because it was clear I wasn't going to graduate high school. So I started auditioning for things. Freaks and Geeks was my second audition. Judd was there in Vancouver.
Apatow: Seth Rogen sent us a tape from Vancouver, and we saw him when we did an open-call audition there. He was so odd, much odder than he is now. He had this weird way of speaking, this anger that made us laugh. So we wrote a part for him.
Rogen: During the audition, we did a scene about growing pot, which for me was a somewhat familiar line of thought.
Feig: It was about growing pot underground, about how if the cops come you just light it on fire and blow up the entrance. And Seth came in to read in this voice of his, and Judd and I — our jaws just hit the ground. He was outrageously funny and someone you'd never seen before. That was the only time Seth had to audition.
Rogen: I remember walking out thinking, "Well they seemed to laugh a lot. If that doesn't get you the job I don't know what does."
The Brilliance (and Bulking) of Bill
Feig: You really throw the doors open wide, and all these kids come in. You're like, "That kid could be it, or maybe that kid." Then Martin Starr walks in and does Bill, and you're like, "That's the kid." It was like a bomb went off.
Apatow: When I first saw Martin Starr do Bill on tape, I didn't quite get how great it was. Only after we started rehearsing the pilot did I see what he was doing.
Rogen: I remember seeing Martin Starr doing Bill and being like, "Holy shit. That's the funniest thing ever."
Segel: I am a giant Martin Starr fan. I think that kid is a genius.
Apatow: Paul's vision for Bill was that you'd see a guy like that and think he was the school brain, but actually he's not very smart.
Martin Starr: I was 16 when I got the part of Bill. I was a weird kid in many different ways — not like Bill, but in other ways. I think being a strange and uncomfortable kid helped create that strange and uncomfortable character.
Rogen: He was putting it on, but I'd say his acting on Bill was about a 70/30 split. He obviously knew what was funny about it, so he wasn't completely unaware, but at the same time, there are times where you want to shake Martin, wake him up a little bit.
Apatow: Martin was the only person on the show who was really doing a character, because Martin doesn't act like that. Which makes it even more impressive.
Starr: In my personal life, I was the opposite of Bill. Six months before I started the show, I decided I wanted to work out more and you know, fill out my frame, but the producers weren't happy about that. They would get upset with me all the time. There was a gym on the lot, so I would go and work out, and they didn't like that at all.
Apatow: We kept telling Martin Starr to stop working out. I was like, "Bill can't have big guns on him!"
Starr: There's the one where I have to take my shirt off — it's an episode where we all dress up for Halloween and I'm in the bra — you can tell I'm not exactly the scrawny kid I played.
Apatow: He wouldn't stop. He'd put on long-sleeve shirts. In one episode, he climbed the rope in gym class, and I said, "This is terrible! You can see huge muscles in your arms! You're killing us!"
Rogen: I can imagine it must have been frustrating for him because his first time out of the gate, he was handed the greatest role ever, especially for him.
Starr: After Freaks and Geeks, I did feel in auditions this pressure to do "Bill" or to, like, really rock it. I think people would see Freaks and Geeks and see a lot of potential and they'd be like, "Oh that kid's awesome!" And I'd be afraid they'd be disappointed.
Rogen: I think recently he's kind of found his new comedic voice, and in Knocked Up he fucking kills me.
Apatow: Martin gets some huge laughs in Knocked Up.
Bill Gets His Freak On
Apatow: I had a meeting with a head of the network when we were making the show, and he said, "These kids need more victories." We played around with them having major turning points, and there's an episode where Bill's playing spin the bottle and had to go into the closet with a pretty girl at a make-out party, and she kisses him.
Starr: They were trying to decide what should happen with the spin the bottle episode, and I had thrown out Joanna Garcia's [Vicky Appleby] name because I had a huge crush on her. Judd was just sitting there talking to some of the other writers, and I was like, [voice cracking], "I dunno, maybe Joanna Garcia would be a good idea!" and then fake-casually walked away. I think they ended up using that actress because I had a crush on her already, so it would make for an interesting dynamic. That ended well. She was 24 [ed: actually, 21] at the time, and I was 16 so there was a gap there, but it was beyond interesting. I had to play this character who was so inept and uncomfortable, so I couldn't kiss her back and do what I wanted to do. I had to just sit there. The great thing was that the director did six or seven takes. That was the best thing ever. But I had a cold and my nose was running, so I kept worrying that while she was kissing me my nose would run on her. And I felt so bad, just for her, having to do that. And I didn't even have the gumption to say, "Uh, by the way, I gotta lot of snot going on."
Information > Innocence?
Apatow: Paul always talks about the show as occurring before technology separated everybody. The early '80s was the era right before technology took over the social life of kids. My daughter's 9 years old, and she's begging me for a phone; I have to fight to get her off the email. If I turn around for five minutes, she will google the word "murder." I asked her what she saw, and she says, "I just saw all these people with blood all over."

CHAPTER 22. THE FLIGHT IN THE HEATHER: THE MOOR (continued)
Toiling and resting and toiling again, we wore away the morning; and about noon lay down in a thick bush of heather to sleep. Alan took the first watch; and it seemed to me I had scarce closed my eyes before I was shaken up to take the second. We had no clock to go by; and Alan stuck a sprig of heath in the ground to serve instead; so that as soon as the shadow of the bush should fall so far to the east, I might know to rouse him. But I was by this time so weary that I could have slept twelve hours at a stretch; I had the taste of sleep in my throat; my joints slept even when my mind was waking; the hot smell of the heather, and the drone of the wild bees, were like possets to me; and every now and again I would give a jump and find I had been dozing.
The last time I woke I seemed to come back from farther away, and thought the sun had taken a great start in the heavens. I looked at the sprig of heath, and at that I could have cried aloud: for I saw I had betrayed my trust. My head was nearly turned with fear and shame; and at what I saw, when I looked out around me on the moor, my heart was like dying in my body. For sure enough, a body of horse-soldiers had come down during my sleep, and were drawing near to us from the south-east, spread out in the shape of a fan and riding their horses to and fro in the deep parts of the heather.
When I waked Alan, he glanced first at the soldiers, then at the mark and the position of the sun, and knitted his brows with a sudden, quick look, both ugly and anxious, which was all the reproach I had of him.
"What are we to do now?" I asked.
"We'll have to play at being hares," said he. "Do ye see yon mountain?" pointing to one on the north-eastern sky.
"Ay," said I.

The more we go away from childhood, the more we want to come back to it. This thought has been on my mind for a while and I wanted to make a design that could capture the spirit of youth, freedom, reasons why we are who we are 30 years later in life, and also a bit of that adrenaline of speed. Free Your Soul pin will be your reminder that some years ago you had dreams of becoming someone and those dreams are still alive and just need a bit of fuel.

Malty English brown could be a nice vehicle for it.
Quote from: HoosierBrew on January 22, 2016, 01:44:19 AMMalty English brown could be a nice vehicle for it.I like that idea. I've got a brown ale planned. Another thought is that I was planning to use the cake from the brown ale to grow up a couple of generations then finish with an English Barleywine. A nice rich barleywine might be pretty nice aged over some nibs.

Serial islamophobic aggressions: the involvement of Police forces in Trappes (Yvelines)
For several weeks now, violence toward french Muslim women is increasing in a very serious way. On Friday 19th of July, CCIF (Collective against islamophobia in France) has been refered a case by Hajar, a young lady victim of a strong-arm identity checking.
During this identity check by the police, her husband has been abused and put into custody because he dared to protest against the violent and provocative behaviour of the police agents.
He will be heard by a judge today, Saturday 20th.
Like in other cases, the role of the police is questionned but Police Unions have rushed to make statements to exempt their colleagues of any responsability. And yet, there has been so far no investigation.
CCIF once again deplores the mass media covering of this case that, as in other cases, put the words of Police Unions above all suspicion, without even checking the facts. Once again, the Muslim protagonists are immediately suspected.
Mulims are systematically assumed guilty.
As in other recent cases, victims undergo a double injury: the physical and verbal violence and the systematic change status, from victim to culprit.
In France, racism and islamophobia are now cleary institutionalized and legitimized.
On this identity checking that turned ugly, several witnesses are reporting the use of physical abuse from the police toward someone who was actually cooperating. (Hajar indeed complied to the control)
Now, what alternative do those citizens have as they are daily blacklisted and victims of contempt and hartred from the police agents, who are supposed to neutrally enforce the law and protect the population ?
Which channels to express their discontent and their revolt toward this lack of justice ?
In Trappes, this strong feeling of injustice turned into a protest with its share of incidents from which we won't consider the true reason: a protest against police abuse suffered by Hajar, her husband and her mother.
Manuel Valls, Minister of Interior, has declared a few days ago his fully « affection » toward french Muslim citizens. It is now time for him to take concrete action to put a stop to this islamophobic wave in our country.
Police forces must protect and serve their citizens, in a spirit of respect and neutrality.
CCIF strongly calls them to faithfully fulfill their mission.
Appeasement and security can only be restored when a relationship of trust and mutual respect is established. And when concrete actions from the governement are taken to once and for all prove that Muslims are not second-class citizens and that the respect of their fundamental rights is not negociable.

These assumptions are conservative — in reality, employers are subject to a 20% burden rate (insurance & taxes) as well as other substantial costs associated with recruitment, training, onboarding, vacation pay, office space, and equipment for every new hire.

SEO agencies are great … but they're expensive!
With agencies, a 3X markup is standard
You cannot buy content separately from the consulting service
Deposits and long-term commitments are usually required
You cannot quickly scale up
Top SEO agencies utilize the same pool of top-tier writers that Compose.ly does, but they charge marked-up prices (3x as much) to sustain inefficient business operations. For companies that just need killer SEO-friendly content without the SEO consultations, the solutions offered by Compose.ly are a better fit.View Pricing
Although you can find high-quality writers on these platforms, prices and quality will vary greatly. Due to the lack of account services, you are required to vet the writers and carry out correspondences with them yourself.

These platforms feature plans ranging from $1,000 up to $25,000 per month. Their services are designed with Fortune 500 companies in mind and they typically only work with accredited journalists.
Unlike the Enterprise platforms, Compose.ly sources writers with proven track records in producing SEO content. Compose.ly's writers know how to write well-researched articles that will generate backlinks and social mentions.

Raw materials combined with traditional techniques infuse rugs with cultural heritage
Typically, artisans weave rugs according to existing patterns, but Jaipur Rugs' Weaver Design Project revolves around Rajasthani makers who compose their own patterns and set to work using 1,200 kg of raw materials and more than 50 shades of yarn, provided by Jaipur. Now in its second year, the Artisan Originals collection features rugs with traditional motifs that are woven by unexpectedly modern hands. Consumers weary of trends are looking to age-old craftsmanship to enrich their contemporary spaces.
Following this line of thought, Spanish rug company Nanimarquina contacted Neri&Hu; inspired by tile patterns found on Shanghai streets, the studio designed the Jie collection of meticulously hand-tufted rugs made by weavers whose skills have come down through generations.
The Rug Company, a UK manufacturer, also relies on the talent of Eastern artisans to bring its ultramodern designs to life, including the VW Flag, Vivienne Westwood's interpretation of the Union Jack, and, more recently, four signature silk-screened patterns by fashion designer Jonathan Saunders, a man known for 'clashing incongruous colours'. Why seek out Saunders? He and the brand share a vital affinity: 'Luxury, for me,' he says, 'is about craftsmanship.'

Iowa West Foundation Awards $7.7 Million in Grants
The Iowa West Foundation in Council Bluffs has announced grants totaling $7.7 million to twenty-four nonprofit organizations and government entities in southwest Iowa and eastern Nebraska.
Through the second of its three annual funding cycles, the foundation awarded grants to address diversity, inclusion, and equity in Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County. The grants include $300,000 to the Pottawattamie County Community Foundation, with $166,000 earmarked for the Women's Fund of southwest Iowa; $75,000 to Centro Latino for operational support; and $16,000 to One Iowa for a needs assessment of the area's LGBTQIA+ community.
"We are honored to work with the Iowa West Foundation, University of Iowa, and Des Moines University on this important endeavor," said One Iowa executive director Daniel Hoffman-Zinnel. "Data is essential to ensuring our work to improve LGBTQ individuals' lives is impactful. As a result of this project, we will have quantifiable data for the first time ever to inform our work addressing the specific needs of LGBTQ individuals in western Iowa."
The foundation also made awards in support of a number of recreational projects, including a grant of $2 million to the Iowa West Sports Plex, an indoor turf facility that will be operated by the Council Bluffs Soccer Club; a grant of $600,000 to help complete pickleball courts already under construction at the Iowa West Field House; and a grant of $350,000 to Golden Hills Resource Conservation and Development in support of its Loess Hills Missouri River Region Cabin Initiative.
In addition, the foundation awarded a total of $200,000 to organizations providing disaster relief to victims of record flooding in the area earlier this year, including $50,000 to Food Bank for the Heartland, $15,000 to the Salvation Army, and $25,000 to Iowa Legal Aid.
For a complete list of grant recipients, see the Iowa West Foundation website.

EKO-DIR FIM Speedway Under 21 World ChampionshipFinal 2, Güstrow, Germany. Friday 8th September 2017
As a prelude to the Speedway Grand Prix meeting in Teterow on Saturday, the second round of the Under 21 World Championship takes place in nearby Güstrow on the previous evening as the battle amongst the younger riders is continued.
Leading scorers after the first final in Poznan were:
1. Maksym Drabik (Poland) 21 points
2. Bartosz Smektala (Poland) 15
3. Max Fricke (Australia) 15
4. Jevgenijs Kostigovs (Latvia) 11
5. Jack Holder (Australia) 11
6. Dominik Kubera (Poland) 10
7. Robert Lambert (Great Britain) 9
8. Andreas Lyager (Denmark) 8
9. Brady Kurtz (Australia) 6
10. Kacper Woryna (Poland) 5
Only last weekend many of these riders were involved in the Under 21 Team Championship and the emphatic win by the Polish team will have boosted their confidence for individual honours with all five of the triumphant Polish team in action here. Bartosz Smektala, currently second in the classification, was top scorer in Rybnik but trails his colleague Maksim Drabik by six points so will be looking to close that gap and Dominik Kubera will need a top score if he is to challenge them. Only captain Kacper Woryna would appear to be out of contention after scoring only five points in the first round.
The Australian contingent includes current champion Max Fricke who was very impressive in the first round but has just returned from a serious back injury and may not be fully match fit. Jack Holder and Brady Kurtz have also had their season interrupted by injuries that could hamper their progress. Robert Lambert is Britain's only representative and his knowledge of German tracks, where he has ridden extensively in the past, could be to his advantage but he too has a large points deficit to recover. His recent victories in both the European Under 21 and Under 19 Championships are testament to his abilities and he is always likely to be a contender at this level
An interesting addition to the field as a Wild Card is Germany's Michael Härtel. Better known for his exploits on the Long Tracks, he has just completed a maiden season in the World Long Track Championship collecting the silver medal and finishing a very creditable four points behind the winner. Now able to concentrate on his speedway aspirations, this 19 year old could spring a few surprises amongst the more fancied riders.
Racing in Güstrow takes place under lights and the first race will start at 20.00 local time. FIM Jury President is Pavel Ondrasik from Czech Republic and Referee Poland's Artur Kusmierz.

The concrete railroad crossing at Demont Avenue just west of Jackson Street has deteriorated to the point where repairs were attempted by the Public Works Department in conjunction with Canadian Pacific Railroad late last Fall. Unfortunately, the repair left the crossing in worse condition than it had been in with the deteriorated concrete. However, it was unknown of the concrete would have made it through the winter.
A new crossing has been budgeted for in 2020 and work will begin as soon as possible in the spring. Canadian Pacific will be responsible for completing the work so the City will work with them to make sure it is on the schedule right away when things warm up. We apologize for the rough ride.

Powerful to use database
Accuracy and savings in time.
I use this as a light-weight project-tracking sheet. Breaking down tasks and allocating them to team-members allows me to track projects at a macro level while allowing individual team members to view their own set of tasks in an organized summarized manner. Making global changes across sheets when you make a change is a huge time-saver.
The tool would become more powerful if we could add some more customized formatting like colors. While its similar to excel in many respects, there is a bit of a learning curve which can be overcome if you go through their documentation and tutorials (both are quite good).

Excellent for creating and managing your spreadsheets on the Internet
Its biggest benefit and difference with other applications is the ability to link several columns and when a change is made in one affect all others that you selected, this is very useful when having several files with repeated information that must be changed in each one of them.
This application is excellent to work your spreadsheets in the cloud, I use it for those files that are necessary to change at all times and not limit me to my desk or office, it gives you the freedom to access data anywhere, be a meeting or being on the road and someone asks you for information, really useful in that sense, the difference with other programs that do this and where it is most useful is that you can link several columns of different files, so when you modify a they modify all of them, it's great for workers' pay sheets where the bonuses that they give according to their salary that you have in other files are modified, this is a tremendous help.
The problem is that if you do not have internet you can not work on your files because it is a cloud program, this is a strong disadvantage if you have all files there, you must create backups and when your connection returns, update your files contained in the cloud.

One killer feature, but a couple of crucial features missing
Our organization determined a long time ago we needed a cloud-based database solution that we could integrate with our website, but would also make it easy for us to build reports. Finally, last year, we found two solutions built specifically with this idea in mind. We ultimately chose Fieldbook because of a killer feature: MailChimp integration. Fieldbook's tight integration with MailChimp is especially impressive. Fieldbook does a lot of things right. After showing off Fieldbook to the rest of the staff at work, they are incredibly excited to begin using the tool. Two crucial features are missing that have made it difficult for us to move forward in carrying our own Fieldbook integration to production. The API works okay for very basic CRUD capabilities, but that's about it. The missing piece in the API is getting metadata -- information about the tables. This missing piece makes it difficult to take full advantage of the features an API could offer. The other missing feature: we cannot import a CSV file to an existing table. We can only import to a new table. Having said all that, Fieldbook's simple interface for managing the vast array of features they offer makes this application exactly the sort of solution we have been looking for. We're excited to use it and hope to see its continued development.
Ease of use, MailChimp integration, CRUD RESTful API
Needs import/update feature, Metadata API, performance improvements

Fieldbook is second nature.
I use Fieldbook primarily because of the ease of use ,it provides myself and my team. Fieldbook is very friendly for everyone who has used Excel,Google sheets or any form of spreadsheet before ; as there is very little difference between the user interface of Fieldbook and the above listed Spreadsheet tools. Fieldbook enable my team create web forms and we use it in collating data from potential customers in our market niche. It has also been very useful to tracking our list ,amongst other benefits.
Fieldbook is a web based solution , therefore we always need to have access to the internet to be able to use Fieldbook. Also would had been great to be able to use Fieldbook for a bit of financial accounting work but obviously that isnt the case.

Go beyond in the management of data in the cloud
To be able to have a simulation of a database of relational data to create views on basic data for different purposes, be it working hours in relation to project, perosonal, server log and duration of jobs, etc., this application helps a lot in this sense and It has other good uses that everyone must discover.
Although there are several options for editing and saving files in the cloud and with more recognized companies, Fieldbook is a very attractive option and what makes it so original is a very good functionality that allows you to work with columns that are in other sheets, a behavior similar to a relational database, is something unique, when you have to keep many data linked and send them to different people, this helps you a lot, think about all the possibilities, you can also create views between several sheets , to show those values you need is great, its price is very good and it has a reliable system with few errors, besides being a cloud service, you can work together with other workers and get very good results.
It requires even add more features to create a more complete and striking application to the market, although its iteration between sheets in very good, still needs to improve much intelligent information systems, make a little more intuitive this functionality so that the average person can use it more easily

Dave Chappelle's Block Party
By Ian Forbes
No Comments
If Chappelle strips down, his change into Matthew McConaughey will be complete.
Theatrical Release Date: 03/03/2006
Director: Michel Gondry
Featuring: Dave Chappelle, The Roots, Mos Def, Kanye West, Erykah Badu
If a stand-up comedian turned actor came up to you on the street and said, want to take a bus ride to a hip-hop concert in New York, what would you do, hot shot? What would you do?
The answer for many people in rural Ohio is: Get on the bus.
"Dave Chappelle's Block Party" is one-half Americana, one-half concert. The audience gets a brief look at many of the party attendees as they are asked to go and as they reflect on their expectations and excitement for the journey.
Chappelle didn't just ask young, college-age kids to attend a hip-hop show in Brooklyn. He invited all of the local, rural people of the small town in Ohio he calls home.
That means that on the bus to Brooklyn, you had black kids in their low 20s, a white shop owner in her 60s, two parole officers in their 40s (one white, one black), and a host of others.
Chappelle wanted to not only give some people a chance to see a great concert, he wanted to bring people who weren't traditionally known as the hip-hop demographic.
That's a major reason that the film transcends simple music documentary into something a little more significant and interesting.
And in Brooklyn, Chappelle met some of the local residents on the block where the concert was going to be held. That included an eccentric couple that were redesigning their house into something only kids could dream up and a look at a local youth center and its connections to the community.
Still, in the end , what it boils down to is that Comedian Dave Chappelle thought it would fun to put together an old school block party in Brooklyn and wanted to put together a lineup of his favorite artists.
To take care of the filming aspect of the project, he turned to French director Michel Gondry. Gondry is known for his visual style and probably best known in America for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".
Chappelle chose Gondry because of his unique eye and respect amongst the film world. This was perhaps the best decision Chappelle made.
Gondry was able to weave the multiple narratives into something that organically unfolded. He had cameras sweeping not only the stage but the crowd and backstage as well.
Footage was taken of the rehearsals that proved to be wonderful ways to introduce the audience to the performances onstage.
The entire project was only able to become one cohesive vision thanks to Gondry and his team.
Of course, the components that make up the final product are just as important and it begins with Chappelle's wonderful comic talents. He can make a simple dialogue between two people a full-blown comic sketch.
His enthusiasm, not only for the music but the people, is the heart of the film.
The performances are then the secondary or even tertiary aspect and the lineup was impressive. Acts included Mos Def, Kanye West, Jill Scott, Big Daddy Kane, John Legend, Erykah Badu, The Roots and as the culmination of the event, a reunion of The Fugees.
All of the artists give energetic and crowd pleasing performances. It's almost as if the concert is a celebration of the camaraderie that Chappelle was able to inspire amongst all of the people in the film, from concertgoers to music acts to the filmmakers themselves.
One shouldn't view "Block Party" thinking they're going to get an hour and a half of Dave Chappelle onstage making weed jokes. He is the facilitator for a film that tries to say much more and, thanks in large part to Gondry, the message is delivered.
While I think you would enjoy the film far more if you are a hip-hop fan, I'd say that as long as you are musically open, you will find something to like in this film.
I'm giving "Dave Chappelle's Block Party" a 3 out of 5. I personally would have like more comedy from Chappelle and might have liked a tighter edit on the whole project but that's not what the filmmakers were trying to do.
If you're looking for a good time and want a little music thrown in on top, check out this film.

A couple weeks ago, 25-year-old Chloe Newton was nannying at someone else's house when there was a knock at the door.
The man on the doorstep was collecting signatures for a recall effort against City Councilmembers Drew Glover and Chris Krohn. He mentioned that Glover had sexually assaulted two women, Newton says. Shocked, she signed her name without giving the issue much thought. "I just really regretted signing it," says Newton, who quickly learned that what the man with the clipboard said was a lie.
Days later, her mom Susan Zackovich walked up to a recaller tabling at the surfer statue on West Cliff. Zackovich says the man started talking to her about how Glover wasn't fairly elected and that he actually came in seventh place last year. More lies.
Recall leader Dan Couglin expresses skepticism that the exchanges really happened the way Zackovich and Newton describe them. If anything, he says, they could have been mere miscommunications. He stresses that organizers make a point of training petition gatherers to understand that there have been no allegations of Glover or doing anything sexually inappropriate. "And we don't even hint that he wasn't fairly elected," he adds.
Newton was relieved to hear that it is, in fact, possible for her to withdraw her name from the petition by contacting the Santa Cruz city clerk. Anyone interested in withdrawing their name from the petition can visit stopsantacruzrecalls.org/rescind-signature.
Anyone interested in living in a functioning, circus-free democracy, however, has little recourse at this point.

Garrett Stephens, Stacey Falls,
I may be wrong, but I believe that Paige is referring to canvassers that were harrassed and bullied, not the Councilmembers, who have never been accused of any kind of criminal behavior by SCU, SCT, or anyone affiliated with the recall campaign. I myself voted for Chris Krohn twice, and now regret doing so.
It is a shame that the only argument that recall opponents have been able to muster in this entire episode is the same one falsely trotted out by the Councilmembers themselves; that the recall is an effort borne of "outside real estate interests," or some other unidentified "conspiracy" or "vendetta." Such misrepresentations only serve to underscore the degree to which they are out-of-touch with their community, which as at-large representatives they are bound to represent the entirety of.
In any case, over 22,500 signatures were submitted to the County elections office this morning, and we will now see whether the recall makes it onto the ballot. If it does, our community will get to vote on whether the Councilmembers remain in office. If they are removed, we will all get to vote on who should replace them.
Why would Trumped up inaccurate allegations even be allowed as a justification to file a recall initiative? This is the most important question we should all be asking. Why is the democratic elections process not being honored? Why are the recallers in such a hurry to remove two duly elected councilmembers from office? I think these are the most important questions to be asking. And why are women allowing issues that should have been handled through mediation to be hijacked by the recallers for their own purposes? How far will this situation be allowed to continue to spin out of control before something changes. I feel so honored to be a member of the Stop the Recalls group – and to feel the growing support in our community for dialogue rather than division – understanding rather than blaming.
There have been multiple incidents. Several signature gatherers were assaulted, and a member of the public was pepper sprayed when signing the petition, a canvasser were knocked to the ground, and belongings taken,
The anti recall groups actively solicit a targeted campaign of harassment.
Are any of these events reported. One volunteer mentioned that they always started a new petition sheet as soon as four signatures were obtained. They locked the original in the trunk of their car…. Why ? simply because they were afraid that the petitions would be snatched, stolen and destroyed. The campaign of intimidation has been continuous.
No one has mentioned where the money to pay signature gatherers or glossy mailers is coming from. Who would be interested in spreading lies about and bankrolling a petition to sink the two candidate who vocally support rent control in rapidly unlivable Santa Cruz?
let me get this right, there is a rumor that petition gatherers are lying and saying that chris and drew having been convicted of assaulting women. so, dan couglin, speaking on behalf of the recall campaign says "that is not true", we would never lie like that. but then, in the comments on this story, paige concannon, one of the authors of the recall petition, implies that chris and drew have assaulted women saying "people being assaulted" is the "other side of the story". did dan an paige get their messaging confused because it seems like paige's comments directly contradict dan's statement in the story.
Nuz and it's award winning reporting
Having tabled and walked city neighborhoods for countless hours for the recall effort with many signature gathering volunteers, I can testify that I have never heard anyone say either of these statements. I also express skepticism about this story. There is sufficient validated information supporting the recall, it's not necessary to make things up. Signing the recall petitions allows a vote to be placed on the ballot, giving every voter in the city a voice. For more information, reasons for recall, news, articles and video, go to santacruzunited.com
Sorry, but I have heard directly from two students at UCSC who said the sexual assault claim was made to them. Perhaps the training is slipshod. Or perhaps, with one canvasser saying they are paid $16 per signature, there is too great an incentive to tell lies in order to get someone to sign.
Clearly the long and short of this "story" is to highlight the link at the end of the article for those who wish to withdraw their name from the Recall Petition. Glover has not been accused NOR charged with Sexual Assault and he was Duly Elected. Moral of the "Story" ? Just because someone writes an article saying certain events have transpired does not necessarily make it so. Not everything we see in the nuz is actually News.
Really wild ! Wondering if you will be reporting the other side of this?? The side of people being assaulted?? Are you going to write anything about that ??
No one has been assaulted, that's exactly the point of this article. The claims are that they "harassed" and "bullied" other council members

In this interesting post on Stewardship, Bob Sitze (author of the forthcoming Simple Enough: A Companion Along the Way) discusses the importance of asset mapping as part of a stewardship process. Sitze describes stewardship ministry as beginning with many presumptions about great and continuing neediness. He sees "asset-based planning and thinking" as one way to "leapfrog negativity," and we could all benefit from a little more of that!!
Right now you may be thinking about how to fund God's mission or how to ask people to join in that task. Start your thinking and planning with your already-existing assets—God-given gifts that are useful.
How can you do some asset mapping within your own congregation? If you're a self-starter, visit this website and do your own asset mapping exercise, or simply grab Luther Snow's classic book on the topic. If you're overwhelmed (aren't we all?) and need a bit of assistance, contact us here at the Board of Cooperative Ministries. We can not only help guide your congregation through the process of asset mapping, we can also help you identify who your neighbors actually are and begin to think about ways to serve them or invite them to join you. The Northern and Southern Province partnered recently to give our North American congregations access to an online demographics tool called MissionInsite. Find out more about our relationship with MissionInsite and how you can use this valuable tool.
The Ground of the Unity offers us some still-timely guidance about how stewardship ought to look, and it might surprise you:
Our Lord Jesus entered into this world's misery to bear it and to overcome it. We seek to follow Him in serving His brothers and sisters. Like the love of Jesus, this service knows no bounds. Therefore we pray the Lord ever anew to point out to us the way to reach our neighbors, opening our hearts and hands to them in their need.
-Ground of the Unity, #9
Let's work together as we open "our hearts and hands" to our neighbors in their need. When we operate from from a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity, we can accomplish much for the kingdom of God.
~Ruth Cole Burcaw is the Executive Director of the Board of Cooperative Ministries. Part of her responsibilities includes offering coaching, consulting, training and facilitation to Southern Province congregations and RCCs. She'd love to hear from you!

Farm Production Expenditures
The USDA says farm production expenditures in the US were higher last year than in 2018.
Bill Meyer, Director of the Colorado National Agricultural Statistics Service says producers nationwide spent about $358 billion in 2019, up nearly 4.0 billion from 2018.
Meyer: " The four largest expenditures at the United States level total $179.8 billion and account for 50.3 percent of total expenditures in 2019. These include feed, 16.6 percent, farm services, 12.0 percent, livestock, poultry, and related expenses, 12.0 percent, and labor, 9.7 percent.
The Midwest region contributed the most to total expenditures with expenses of more than $111 billion (up 31.2 percent), The Plains states spent nearly $88 billion (up 24.6 percent). Western states spent an additional 22 percent at $79 billion. The Plains decreased spending $3.82 billion from 2018, the largest regional decrease.
A breakdown can be found at NASS.USDA.GOV
Meyer says next week will be the first look at the forecast for corn yields and follow up for Winter Wheat yields.

China-Laos railway rail-welding yard inaugurated
The China Railway No 2 Engineering Group (CREC-2) has welded the first 500 m long rail for the China-Laos railway project in the Lao capital Vientiane. The rail is also the first long railway rail in the history of Lao transportation, of south-eastern Asian transportation and is also the longest one in Asia so far, except in China, according to the Chinese government.
The success of the welding also paved the way for laying a solid foundation for the China-Laos railway project. The CREC-2 rail-welding yard is to weld all the rails, combining each of the twenty 25 m long rail sections into one 500 m long rail, for the 414,332 km China-Laos railway which is scheduled to open to traffic in December 2021.

Introduction: How to Build a Hot End.
I started in 3d printing or reprap as it's known with a purpose built hot end. It was the cause of many knightmares over the course of building the printer and getting some quality out of it. I resolved to replace it. Many commercially made ones are very expensive and people will get quite caught up in getting the latest model in the usually vain hope of improving their machines quality and capabilities with it. This is folly!
Hot end are really very simple devices and the basic parts are cheap and readily available. I'm using exactly this set up and it's cured the vast majority of problems I had with my machine.
I've tried to give a few basic guidelines and explain the purpose of the mysterious entity that is a hot end.
For this you will require:
1 Aluminium heating block
1 brass nozzle (sharp pointed)
2 26mm M6 'throats' (appropriate to your desired filament size)
1 small square of automotive heat shield (ask at your local repair centre for offcuts)
5 M6 washers about 4mm wide
6 M6 Repair washers about 20mm wide
3 Tee Nuts (see the vid for an explanation) or 2 M6 stud connectors
1 M6 Pnuematic push fit tube connector (for a Bowden Tube). This is optional depending on your extruder setup.
A small length of PTFE tube liner (appropriate to your chosen filament size and throat diameter. Again, see the vid for an explanation)
Kapton Tape
PTFE Plumbers/Gas fitters tape
1 Thermistor
1 Heating cartridge/resistor
Here's how to put them together.

The video does not appear using Chrome on Android...but i think this is the correct video link...https://youtu.be/UvICpdVONXM
nice idea and good explaination.
Do yoy have any printout examples out of this one??
No video appears when viewing this Instructable on the Android ap. Please include a link. Thanks! And thanks for sharing!
Nice! I was wondering why you wrap PTFE on the hollow feed tube where it contacts the heat sink washer assembly, though - don't you want the best contact between them so they will conduct heat away from the tube? The PTFE would presumably block heat transfer from the tube to the washers.
I tried both. I found that without it, the stored heat fed back in and caused the filament to melt too high in the tube. This happens especially on retraction.
This way worked better. I think it's because it's the best way of blocking the most heat. I'm no expert though and others may experience a different effect.
what happened to the putting together part...?..?..
Are you having a problem with the video? I build the whole thing in the video. If you're asking how to attach it to a printer, that depends on what kind of printer you have. That's why it isn't included.
I can't see how?
How what?
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing this great info!

After checking out from the Butter Factory we revisited the small coffee shop in Euroa and picked up a takeaway Chai Tea Latte and a Flat White before driving out to Ian and Jen's vineyard – Maygar's Hill
After a very short stop at the vineyard we said our goodbyes and returned to the road. We drove via Ruffy (a very small town in the Strathbogie Ranges) then onto a "blink and you miss it town called Yarck. The drive through the ranges and country landscape was very pleasant – a far cry from the skyscraper landscape of Hong Kong!
From Yarck we drove a short distance to the town of Yea – my birthplace. We stopped in Yea and had a look around the tow. I showed The Princess some of the things I remember from my younger years – it has not changed too much. As it was nearing lunch we bought a very tasty sausage roll from the bakery the got back on the road (Melba Hwy) and drove to Yarra Glen in the beautiful Yarra Valley.
The drive along the Melba Highway took us through the area that was devastated by the bushfires earlier this year. The very visible effects of the fires bought home the scale of the fires. One pleasing aspect to the drive was the signs of Mother Nature's recovery. Green shoots, new branches and leaves and a sense of renewal – pretty but not significant enough to erase the memories of a terrible day in the history of Victoria.
We arrived in Yarra Glen around mid-afternoon and met up with an old school friend of mine. Brendan grew up in the town and he was visiting his parents for the weekend. He is now a director in a company that he started called Matrix Gold and we enjoyed learning about the projects he is involved in. Brendan caught gold fever in the early 1980's and he has become a subject matter expert in the Victorian Gold industry. He is aiming to publicly list the company in the coming months.
The Balgownie Estate Hotel and Spa is located at the southern end of the Yarra Valley. It is perched on the side of a hill and the views from the hotel are spectacular. The hotel has been built in a very eco-friendly way and each room takes in the view of the ranges and valley. Very nice.
We felt like we had been eating all day so we ordered room service and shared a lovely bottle of Balgownie Estate shiraz. We were quite mellow after the second glass and we continued the "relax on red" theme by slipping into the spa.
We selected some very relaxing music on our iPod, connected it to the rooms music system and absorbed the ambience of being in beautiful place.
Our bodies and minds wound down rather quickly so we honoured ourselves by slipping into the wonderfully comfortable bed and drifting off to sleep.
An outstanding day in the state of Victoria. Great food. Great friends, Great family. Great life. We hope this finds you making the most of the greats in your life. Roey and The Princess.

It was a tough few days for a Cliffe Avenue business after a vehicle lost control and ran into the corner of its building.
The driver smashed into Comox Valley Kayaks and Canoes at 2020 Cliffe Ave. around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 11. In the process, the side of the building was crushed and 15 kayaks were destroyed. RCMP said the accident was related to a medical emergency.
The business was faced with some uncertainty around when they could re-open, at one point thinking they would need to operate out of a shed. One of the operators, Kerry Webb, told the Comox Valley Record they have since been cleared to open the doors, with the damaged part of the building walled off.
"They say the building's safe," she said. "We're in the space."
To start off, they are holding off on anything other than long-term rentals to which they had committed.
After that, the plan is to re-open for normal short-term rentals starting the week of Aug. 19. The timing was particularly tough for the business, as July and August are the busiest times of the year, says Webb.
Initially, some reports suggested they would be closed over the long-term, but she emphasizes they needed to open as soon as possible.
"We want to get operational," she said.
In addition to the 15 kayaks totaled, several others were damaged. These are seaworthy but cannot be sold as new, so the business is selling them at a discounted rate.
They are also looking to find some paddles to use for their rentals.
"All of our rental gear is in a pile of rubble," she said.
The business also had a sale planned for Aug. 15, but they have moved it to Aug. 20.

Commenting on the Transport Secretary's announcement today, that hard shoulder driving will be introduced on the busiest stretches of several motorways, David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said:
"Opening up the hard shoulder is a welcome move in attempts to reduce the financial impact of congestion on businesses, which currently stands at £17.55 billion.
"We need extra capacity and that means building new roads. Simply opening up the hard shoulder cannot be a long-term answer to solving congestion on our motorways."

If these girls look less than enthusiastic, take into account they just finished a killer running, stair-climbing, and KB workout!
I've been emailing some people I thought would be interested in group outdoor workouts in the local forest preserves. Much to my satisfaction...people are actually showing up. We encounter new faces each time! To those of you who have participated, thanks. You make our experience more enjoyable. I hope we've done the same.
From some responses, I gather (maybe incorrectly) there's a wee bit of intimidation. I encourage you to put aside your fear or anxiety to see what exactly it is that we do. What the more advanced participants do is different than what the beginners do.
Maybe you don't have any equipment at home? I have been bringing a 35lb kettlebell. Some of the ladies have been bringing 15# and 25# KBs. Each of us has been designing a workout that suits our individual needs and capabilities. For some, simply climbing the stairs is a challenge. For others, adding a short KB session at the top or bottom is more enjoyed. Yet for others, incorporating abdominal exercises, pushups, sprints, and advanced /complex KBs is their way to go. Basically anything goes. Come and use our equipment. Just don't make me wait too long ;)
We've been using Swallow Cliff because of the great opportunity to use stairs. Changes in elevation give us the chance to mix up our efforts...from a simple walk up, to jumps, to running, to backwards, to sideways...variety is the key. And the staircase allows us to stay within competitve and motivating view of our partners regardless of their fitness levels. A normal running path would leave huge gaps between partners of differring capabilities, ruining the group spirit!
We are accepting of people from all fitness levels and experiences. You don't have to bring any equipment other than a water bottle and a positive attitude. Regardless of your current program or activity level, try our group workouts in the preserves. Go vertical!

I had a busy but wonderful weekend. Friday night I went to Pecky's in the rain but it stopped when I arrived so I could take everything into the building without getting wet. I made cards all night and will share them this week. I did a few lessons with these cards also.
Saturday we were 10 ladies including Jessica and we had a wonderful day sharing ideas and I did some lessons also. Libby was safe, I didn't have to Cuttlebug her ( she was already done LOL).Libby showed me a quick method of adding colour with Marvy Pens to Gloss cardstock. It was a quicker and easier than a lesson I had had before. I need to do some. We had a lovely lunch and I ate too much. I didn't do much at all
today as I was too busy watching, talking and socialising and helping Jessica get her hand made cards finished so she could give them to her school friends this week.
Came home and Brian and i did the last minute things for his family Christmas lunch on Sunday. We had 2 bottles of wine and a salad for dinner which we had on the balcony. Was nice to sit and relax.

All matching, all operating, all the time!
Remember what these looked like when we first started? Something like this, I believe….
We did have one sill failure, so we are back up to 3 sills to pour, but I'm confident we will eventually get them all done. On to the next project – the bell tower. Here's a look back at how it looked when we found it… last year
when we added the roof…. The PLAN is to bring back the arches, but with windows to keep out the elements. But to fix the outside, we had to start on the inside. Here's a look from the foyer, looking up.
That lighter wood is the old bell rope access. In our master plan, that's all gotta go.
Here we started by taking out the wall above the door. This has accomplished two things; one, airing it out! This area has been an entrance way for the bats, and kinda smells that way. Second, we can see what we have to work with and start figuring out the next steps.
We took a side trip last weekend to the Polk County fair. The little red schoolhouse was a neat stop, and imagine our surprise to find this along with the other schoolhouse memorabilia! HEY, that's us!!
