One of my favorite things to do after school or during the summer as a kid was to roller-skate. My Papa had a long concrete driveway shaped like a capital "P". The stick of the "P" was flat and the curve sloped down and then back up, so it was a great place to pick up speed and practice screaming around the curve. I also once convinced my little sister to stand still and let me kick my roller-skated foot over her head, and accidentally hit her square in the mouth with it instead. But I digress.
One particular afternoon, I'd walked over to my Papa's house to go skating and had taken an icy cold can of grape soda with me. Skating is hard work! I set the can down on the concrete, near the house, beside some ornamental grass and proceeded to work up a thirst.
Maybe a half hour later, I screeched to a stop next to my drink, grabbed the can and tipped it up to take a huge gulp.
Did grape soda come out?
Did something else come out?
Oh yes.
They POURED out of the can, riding the flood of purple sugar solution like tiny little Samoans in the Pacific. Except instead of landing on rocks or beach, they landed on my FACE. I don't think I got ants in my mouth. Carpenter ants are BIG and you would have to really WANT to get one in your mouth in order for it to actually happen. But all I remember was a horde of ants pouring out of the can ONTO MY FACE. I recognized them immediately and knew, on some basic level, that they don't really bite but I completely lost my biscuits. I spit, I yelled, I wiped my face in a panic and I cried. I remember staring at the can as if it had betrayed me. As if it could have somehow warned me and DIDN'T.
And I didn't drink grape soda again. I couldn't do it. Every time I looked at a can of the stuff, I thought "ANTS!" and it made my stomach turn, even though I knew there weren't ants in every can of grape soda. I mean, Freddy, Chucky or Jason Vorhees hiding under my bed at night? Absolutely a possibility. Potential phantom ants in every can of grape soda? Ehh. That was a stretch even for my heightened neuroses. But I still couldn't bring myself to drink it. TOTALLY RUINED.
That is, until today. Today I had what might be my first can of grape soda in 25 years. And you know, it's okay. I feel like I finally conquered a childhood fear. Granted, I'm not going to be buying cases of the stuff. But it wasn't too bad.
Some "growing up" milestones are just weird.

Legislation that would propose an amendment to the Alabama Constitution stripping the Lieutenant Governor's office of any legislative duties was delayed in the State Senate Thursday when it was pulled from the floor before a vote.
Sponsored by Lineville-Republican State Senator Gerald Dial, SB88 stipulates the "sole responsibility" of the Lt. Governor's post would be "to succeed to the Office of Governor upon the Governor's removal from office, death, or resignation."
Under current legislation, the Lieutenant Governor is the President of the Senate and is entitled to vote in the event of a tie, much like that of the Vice President of the United States. They are also vested with certain prescribed legislative duties, powers, and responsibilities.
Gov. Kay Ivey has been a vocal critic of the bill.
In her State of the State address, she explained her time presiding over the Senate as Lt. Governor prepared to assume the office of the Governor when former. Gov. Robert Bentley resigned.
"The smooth transition of government, brought me full circle – from the legislative to the executive – and I am better able to lead and govern because of it. I support having a lieutenant governor who presides over the Senate. Our current order of succession serves the state well. I know this firsthand, having experienced it. I strongly support our current order of succession," Ivey said in her speech earlier this month.
Nevertheless, Senate President Pro Tempore Del Marsh said the bill was a priority to consider, but failed to say whether or not it would make it back to the floor before the Senate is scheduled to end in two weeks.
The position for Lt. Governor currently vacant, and has been since Ivey assumed office in April 2017.
Republicans Will Ainsworth, Twinkle Cavanaugh and Rusty Glover, along with Democrat Will Boyd are running to fill it the position this year.

Class by class, lecture by lecture, question asked by question answered, an schooling is built. The shopping trolley is one of the most profitable marketing inventions of the twentieth century. SHOPPERS' WORLD, the first mall in Massachusetts, featured a kiddie ride amusement area as one among its sights. A similar sort of research study has revealed that women and men have totally different shopping patterns. A weblog about historic costuming and the historical past of costume, mostly from the interval 1000 to 1600, however with occasional excursions into the seventeenth, 18th and nineteenth centuries. Most of the content was moved over, and you find the content material of the previous internet pages as pages, listed to the left within the blog.
The history of the Russian shopping mall begins with one actually outstanding piece of structure, and it's one shopping mall that everyone is aware of about in Moscow, the one that most international visitors to the town may have a minimum of window-shopped in: GUM on Red Square.
Having a daring attitude, they unveiled new regions: Recife and Porto Alegre and constructed the primary shopping middle in Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul. Plans abounding to relocate the problematic freeway have threatened the way forward for the shopping heart, and a type of plans involves outright tearing it down for the freeway. By 2006, NORTHSHORE MALL was in want of another renovation as a way to remain aggressive. The very massive Florida Mall comprises seven anchor stores and 250 retail venues.
One factor you should be mindful is that if buyer is conscious, that he/she is being noticed, then buyer might change his/her shopping pattern, and the knowledge collected after analysis might not be right and valid. With no renovation aside from a paint job, updating the middle would be a huge investment and any renovation would probably make the middle look worse since it will seemingly be completed cheaply.
Here's a vibrant shade postcard picture of the Jordan Marsh retailer looming high within the distance, above and anchoring a portion of the venerable Sunrise Shopping Center (as it was initially recognized) complex, along with a sweeping view of the gorgeous surrounding areas.

This is the fourth part of a nine-part article on famous Perl one-liners. In this part I will create various one-liners for string and array creation. See part one for introduction of the series.
Famous Perl one-liners is my attempt to create "perl1line.txt" that is similar to "awk1line.txt" and "sed1line.txt" that have been so popular among Awk and Sed programmers.
The article on famous Perl one-liners will consist of nine parts:
- Part I: File spacing.
- Part II: Line numbering.
- Part III: Calculations.
- Part IV: String creation and array creation (this part).
- Part V: Text conversion and substitution.
- Part VI: Selective printing and deleting of certain lines.
- Part VII: Handy regular expressions.
- Part VIII: Release of perl1line.txt.
- Part IX: Release of Perl One-Liners e-book.
I decided that there will be two new parts in this series. The most powerful feature in Perl is its regular expressions, therefore I will write a part on "Handy Perl regular expressions." I also decided to publish an e-book after I am done with the series, so that will be the last part of this series. Everyone who's subscribed to my blog will get a free copy! Subscribe to my blog now!
I also updated the previous part on calculations with 14 new one-liners on finding values of constants pi and e, doing date calculations, finding factorial, greatest common divisor, least common multiple, generating random numbers, generating permutations, finding power sets and doing some IP address conversions.
Here are today's one-liners:
String Creation and Array Creation
49. Generate and print the alphabet.
perl -le \'print a..z\'
This one-liner prints all the letters from a to z as abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz. The letters are generated by the range operator ... The range operator, when used in the list context (which is forced here by print) on strings, uses the magical auto-increment algorithm that advances the string to the next character. So in this one-liner the auto-increment algorithm on the range a..z produces all the letters from a to z.
I really golfed this one-liner. If you used strict it would not work because of barewords a and z. Semantically more correct version is this:
perl -le \'print (\"a\"..\"z\")\'
Remember that the range operator .. produced a list of values. If you wish, you may print them comma separated by setting the $, special variable:
perl -le \'$, = \",\"; print (\"a\"..\"z\")\'
There are many more special variables. Take a look at my special variable cheat sheet for a complete listing.
50. Generate and print all the strings from "a" to "zz".
perl -le \'print (\"a\"..\"zz\")\'
Here the range operator .. is used again. This time it does not stop at "z" as in the previous one-liner, but advances z by one-character producing "aa", then it keeps going, producing "ab", "ac", …, until it hits "az". At this point it advances the string to "ba", continues with "bb", "bc", …, until it reaches "zz".
Similarly you may generate all strings from "aa" to "zz" by:
perl -le \'print \"aa\"..\"zz\"\'
Here it goes like "aa", "ab", …, "az", "ba", "bb", …, "bz", "ca", … "zz".
51. Create a hex lookup table.
@hex = (0..9, \"a\"..\"f\")
Here the array @hex gets filled with values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and letters a, b, c, d, e, f.
You may use this array to convert a number (in variable $num) from decimal to hex using base conversion formula:
perl -le \'$num = 255; @hex = (0..9, \"a\"..\"f\"); while ($num) { $s = $hex[($num%16)&15].$s; $num = int $num/16 } print $s\'
52. Generate a random 8 character password.
perl -le \'print map { (\"a\"..\"z\")[rand 26] } 1..8\'
Here the map function executes (\"a\"..\"z\")[rand 26] code 8 times (because it iterates over the dummy range 1..8). In each iteration the code chooses a random letter from the alphabet. When map is done iterating, it returns the generated list of characters and print function prints it out by concatenating all the characters together.
If you also wish to include numbers in the password, add 0..9 to the list of characters to choose from and change 26 to 36 as there are 36 different characters to choose from:
perl -le \'print map { (\"a\"..\"z\", 0..9)[rand 36] } 1..8\'
If you need a longer password, change 1..8 to 1..20 to generate a 20 character long password.
53. Create a string of specific length.
perl -le \'print \"a\"x50\'
Operator x is the repetition operator. This one-liner creates a string of 50 letters "a" and prints it.
If the repetition operator is used in list context, it creates a list (instead of scalar) with the given elements repeated:
perl -le \'@list = (1,2)x20; print \"@list\"\'
This one liner creates a list of twenty repetitions of (1, 2) (it looks like (1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, …)).
54. Create an array from a string.
@months = split \' \', \"Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec\"
Here the @months gets filled with values from the string containing month names. As each month name is separated by a space, the split function splits them and puts them in @months. This way $months[0] contains "Jan", $months[1] contains "Feb", …, and $months[11] contains "Dec".
55. Create a string from an array.
@stuff = (\"hello\", 0..9, \"world\"); $string = join \'-\', @stuff
Here the values in array @stuff get turned in a string $string that has them separated by a hyphen. Turning an array in a string was done by the join function that takes a separator and a list, and concatenates the items in the list in a single string, separated by the separator.
56. Find the numeric values for characters in the string.
perl -le \'print join \", \", map { ord } split //, \"hello world\"\'
This one-liner takes the string "hello world", splits it into a list of characters by split //, \"hello world\", then it maps the ord function onto each of the characters, which returns the numeric, native 8-bit encoding (like ASCII or EBCDIC) of the character. Finally all the numeric values get joined together by a comma and get printed out.
Another way to do the same is use the unpack function and specify C* as the unpacking template (C means unsigned character and * means as many characters there are):
perl -le \'print join \", \", unpack(\"C*\", \"hello world\")\'
57. Convert a list of numeric ASCII values into a string.
perl -le \'@ascii = (99, 111, 100, 105, 110, 103); print pack(\"C*\", @ascii)\'
Just as we unpacked a string into a list of values with the C* template in the one-liner above, we can pack them back into a string.
Another way to do the same is use the chr function that takes the code point value and returns the corresponding character:
perl -le \'@ascii = (99, 111, 100, 105, 110, 103); print map { chr } @ascii\'
Similar to one-liner #55 above, function chr gets mapped onto each value in the @ascii producing the characters.
58. Generate an array with odd numbers from 1 to 100.
perl -le \'@odd = grep {$_ % 2 == 1} 1..100; print \"@odd\"\'
This one-liner generates an array of odd numbers from 1 to 99 (as 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, …, 99). It uses the grep function that evaluates the given code $_ % 2 == 1 for each element in the given list 1..100 and returns only the elements that had the code evaluate to true. In this case the code tests if the reminder of the number is 1. If it is, the number is odd and it has to be put in the @odd array.
59. Generate an array with even numbers from 1 to 100.
perl -le \'@even = grep {$_ % 2 == 0} 1..100; print \"@even\"\'
This is almost the same as the previous one-liner, except the condition grep tests for is "is the number even (reminder dividing by 2 is zero)?"
60. Find the length of the string.
perl -le \'print length \"one-liners are great\"\'
Just for completeness, the length subroutine finds the length of the string.
61. Find the number of elements in an array.
perl -le \'@array = (\"a\"..\"z\"); print scalar @array\'
Evaluating an array in a scalar context returns the number of elements in it.
Have Fun!
Have fun with these one-liners for now. The next part is going to be about text conversion and substitution.
Can you think of other string creating and array creation one-liners that I didn't include here?

I know Halloween isn't over yet, but it's nearing the time for me to start thinking about Christmas, presents and all that goes with it! I decided to turn one of the little mini albums into a notebook to keep in my purse to remind me of my to-do list for the holidays! I made a section for each of my daughters (marked by tabs/tickets) where I am going to have them write in what they would like for Christmas! I can then keep this with me to refer to it when needed. When the holidays are over, I will add photos of them opening their gifts, and voila! I have a mini album complete from the start of the holiday to the end. I love that I'll have their handwritten wish lists in here to keep forever.
I love the Family Tree line for the holidays with it's reds and greens. I covered the front of the album with the yellow mini paper from the Family Tree mini paper pack. To get a star punched out of it, I had to trim off the corner of the paper and slide my star punch in. It was the perfect size punch to match the star already in the mini album! Then I added a red star sticker and pearl down inside on the first page.
A Silver Receipt rub on was added to the front cover and Black Ledger Sticker Alphas, along with a few more strips of paper. On the inside, I covered a chipboard star with a green 12" x 12" piece of Family Tree paper and punched a hole to attach it inside the book. To finish, I tied a ribbon around the rings and added a new Vintage Christmas button and pin. The little Santa was actually the one who inspired this project!
Awesome! Thanks for the inspiration Danielle!

Paris is deservedly topping several lists of 'Cities to visit in 2014' and many visitors will be wondering where to stay (always a major budgetary consideration).
For me, self catering wins hands down every time. In my experience reasonably priced, centrally located hotel rooms are usually the size of a shoe box, whereas an apartment offers freedom, space — and the opportunity to be a locavore.

text: The study is a qualitative text analysis of Swedish news reporting on the Terror attack in Paris 2015 and the train bombing in Madrid in 2004. The analysis is based on articles published by Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter. The purpose of the study is to investigate how Swedish news reporting looked at the terrorist attacks in Paris 2015 and Madrid in 2004. By examining articles from Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet, we investigate how media logic narrator techniques apply to news reporting and whether the criteria for news evaluation are used. The study also aims to investigate whether there are any differences between news reports 2004 versus 2015. The articles are analyzed on the basis of various themes consisting of: perpetrator, victim, event, media logic and theory of news values. The results showed that 2015 news reporting was more comprehensive than news reporting 2004. 2015 reporting gave more space to the event than 2004's news reporting did. The news reporting of Madrid's train bombing tended to focus on whether the Basque separatist movement ETA or the al-Qaida terrorist network were guilty. In connection with the terrorist attack in Paris, the perpetrators are described in more detail.

The ANNUAL MEET YOUR CORPORATORS PRABHAAG 36 event was organised for 1st June 2014 at Suvarna Smruti Mangal Karyalaya.
The venue and refreshments had been thoughtfully provided by the Deccan Gymkhana Colony Panchayat. The meeting was well attended by more than 50 residents. Most of the questions dealt with roads, footpaths, encroachments, congestion, lack of PTP enforcement etc.. There were fewer complaints on garbage compared to last year, showing the improvement in performance by the sanitary team at the Ward Office. Most interesting, there weren't any questions on stray dogs, unlike last year when many residents were aggressively demanding action. The success on controlling stray dogs is purely thanks to the voluntary dog sterilisation team working in our area. More than 300 dogs have been sterilised in the past two years, using the PMC system as well as donations for use at private vets. This just goes to show that dedication and focus can get results, we wish the PMC and our corporators would learn from this team!
Notes from the meeting:
While citizens are grateful to the corporators for their cooperation and intent in resolving issues, they sought the following assurances from the Smt. Madhuri Sahasrabuddhe and Shri Anil Rane, corporators for Prabhaag 36. The corporators assured the audience that they would keep these points in mind.
- Will ensure that there is a master plan mapping for drainage and water lines for the Prabhaag, including information about connections.
- Will ensure that every project undertaken will have a detailed board en site stating all information as required as per the law/PMC rules.
- Will invite people's suggestions at least 15 days before work starts for all projects.
- Will make public/share detailed information including final design plans, tenders and budgets at least 15 days before work starts.
- Will ensure that all project information and accounts for each quarter are available on their website and/or Facebook.
- Will not put up any illegal flex/banners in the Prabhaag.
- Will ensure that all footpaths are evenly built, free of encroachments and without any steps at buildings / junctions.
- Will ensure that the roads and footpaths are senior citizen friendly.
- Will ensure that Zebra Painting, Tree Trimmings and Lane Markings are done at regular intervals, without any follow up from residents.
- Will ensure that roads are not re-built by just adding new layers on top, but by digging up the existing surface with consideration to the level of surrounding buildings.
- Will ensure enforcement of parking rules in our Prabhaag by coordinating with PTP.Topics discussed at the meet:
- Need for coordination with all concerned agencies before starting any road work
- Many questions about the poor quality of footpaths. Blocked by encroachments, need to climb up and down at every building / junction.
- Ketkar Path ( Kamala Nehru Park road) – Pedestrian safety is a major issue. Footpath urgently needed.
- Debris and rubble should be cleared immediately after road/footpath job is done. Contractors should not be paid till they complete the job.
- Publicize names of defaulting / blacklisted contractors. Has any contractor been fined in our Prabhaag last year (No answer)
- Need corporators to speak to citizens BEFORE budget and discuss what they have intend to submit.
- Transparency is critical.
- Corporators should have a monthly citizen interaction meeting at a definite date and time.
- Parking for restaurants and clubs like PYC, Deccan Gymkhana and restaurants are choking the tiny lanes in the area.
- Pune Traffic Police's lack of enforcement was a major concern for all citizens as well as the corporators.
- Why are hawkers at Chitale corner not being moved to the land acquired by PMC for the mandai?
- Why is rickshaw stand not moved at Chitale corner? Why are there more rickshaws parked there than approved number? Who is the political hand over all these?
- Mr Rane already has FB page and website, but adequate information is not being shared. Mrs Sahsarabuddhe does not have a functional website or Facebook page. Said that she will get that done in 2 months
- Pickup of garden cuttings was a major concern especially for bungalow owners and senior citizens.
- Tree bases/roots should not be surrounded by tar and concrete. Surrounding tree roots by tar/concrete/tiles causes balance problems for trees.
- The key demand was for utmost transparency and for inviting citizen's participation in decision making. The corporators Mrs Sahasrabuddhe and Shri Rane appreciated the concerns and wishes of the residents, and said they would do their best to resolve all the issues.


text: Analyzing proteins is about trade-offs. Do you want to take a top-down approach or a bottom-up? Will you get the information you need from looking at the proteins or by looking at the peptides? If you look at peptides, you lose isoform information, but if you look at the proteins you may have a lower throughput. It's a balancing act.

The Most Important Qualities to Seek Out in Any Pediatric Dentist
Although there are a lot of different things that people will need to do when they want to be able to take good care of their health, you'll find that one of the most important things you can do will be to take good care of your teeth. You can look to a wide range of scientific papers that will show that your whole body's health will depend in many ways on the kind of health you're able to obtain for your teeth. What you're going to discover is that there are a variety of different reasons why you'll need to take good care of your mouth in order to keep your body healthy.
It's also the case that you'll have to provide some sort of good dental care to your children. A lot of people tend to think that children will not need to care for their baby teeth, since they are going to fall out and be replaced anyway. Ultimately, though, there are a number of reasons why it's going to be so important to take good care of a child's teeth. One of the key things to do in order to accomplish this will be to hire a pediatric dentist that you can trust to keep everything in good shape. You can use the information in the following article to help you get a good idea of how to select the best possible Chicago pediatric dentist.
The main factor that you'll have to consider when you're on the hunt for the best possible pediatric dentist will be making sure that they are very good at being comforting to children. Most kids are going to be quite scared or nervous when they have to head to the dentist, and the kind of personality that the pediatric dentist will be able to bring to the appointment will make a world of difference for any child. A lot of parents will find it helpful to meet up with a pediatric dentist before the first appointment to see how things might go.
Another critical thing to think about will be the sort of experience and training the dentist will be able to demonstrate. Because children will have very sensitive teeth and gums, the best pediatric dentists will be those who have treated many children in the past.
The truth about any pediatric dentist is that there are a variety of excellent qualities that they'll need to demonstrate. What you'll discover is that any good pediatric dentist will be capable of helping to keep your child's teeth and mouth in excellent shape.
Finding Similarities Between Health and Life

On Sunday, Police Officers from across the country will gather at different memorials to honour those that have fallen in the line of duty. Those that have tragically given their lives were mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, cousins, friends and colleagues. They had interests and hobbies, passions… lives outside of the uniform they wore on a daily basis.
In anticipation of the upcoming Saskatchewan Police & Peace Officer Memorial, we wanted to show you a few of those men and women, and who they are #BehindTheBadge. Throughout the week, we are featuring officers who have sworn to protect our community and hope you will learn a little bit more about them as human beings, not just Police Officers.
Mitch Yuzdepski was one of those kids in Kindergarten who knew he wanted to be a Police Officer when he grew up. He admits he may have second guessed his dream in high school, but refocused on the goal during his time at university. Mitch grew up in Saskatoon's Avalon neighbourhood and attended the University of Saskatchewan. He convocated with a degree in Sociology and earned his certificate in Business Administration from the Edwards School of Business. If not a career in policing, he may have gone into law, but he's always been passionate about criminal justice.
30 years ago, Mitch got his start with the Saskatoon Police Service working in Detention. Today, he is a Superintendent that oversees the Patrol Division. But a lot happened in those three decades. One of Mitch's favourite areas was working in the Canine Unit. In his time there, he had two partners; Zeus and Tell. Mitch was always fascinated by how these dogs could go for miles on a slight scent and know exactly what and who they were looking for. He remembers his longest track with Zeus crossing all types of terrain for six miles. After three hours, he and Zeus had all of the suspects in custody. Working as a homicide detective was also a favourite. It was much different from the Canine Unit, but similar in terms of team work and the same end goal; to catch the bad guy.
His kids always thought, "Dad has a pretty cool job!" He would visit their Kindergarten classes as a canine officer and then in high school as a homicide detective. But it wasn't until they were young adults that they realized their dad had been involved in a lot of scary situations. "Our families hear about what we do in the news. They don't know the details, but they know we were at that call. I think when they realize that, the anxiety and worry goes up a bit." Mitch recalls a recent conversation with his daughter where she told him how thankful she was, knowing that he went to work all those years, facing danger and difficult situations, but always returning home as just "Dad."
But having that work/life balance doesn't come easy to all officers. Mitch is passionate about mental health in the community and within the police service; he ensures all member of SPS have easy access to any resources they need when it comes to their mental wellness. He took a lead role in creating PACT (Police And Crisis Team), he wrote the Mental Health Strategy for SPS and he's also the Administration Liaison for CISM (Critical Incident Stress Management).
Mitch is a big sports fan; he loves the Saskatchewan Roughriders and accepts the harassment he often receives for his adoration of the Montreal Canadiens. He's been an active community soccer coach and volunteers at various sporting events. Volunteering is something you can find Mitch doing often around Saskatoon. He says it's a lot like policing, "We both have the same goal; to better our community. They say it takes a village to raise a community and everyone should be a part of that village."

3D printing has quite literally gone out-of-this-world following the news that NASA has manufactured the first 3D-printed object in space, which the space agency says will "pave the way to future long-term space explorations".
After calibrating a 3D printer over the course of the week, NASA astronaut Barry "Butch" Wilmore was able to manufacture a replacement part for it aboard the International Space Station on November 24.
In a blog post, the space agency said that it was critical that 3D printers could print replacement parts before they could be used by space explorers to make spare and replacement parts for critical items in space.
The first objects manufactured in space are to be returned to Earth in 2015 to be analysed and compared to identical versions made on the ground.

The hunters were apparently unaware that the bears were part of a study by the United States Forest Service and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game aimed at learning more about the species and individuals' habitats. The mother bear, or sow, had been fitted with a GPS tracking collar, and a camera monitoring her den captured the killings on video, the state troopers said.
The Renners were charged this week with numerous crimes in the incident, including one count each of unlawfully taking a female bear with cubs and two counts each of unlawfully taking a bear cub. The elder Renner was also charged with tampering with physical evidence. Attorneys for the men were not listed in online court documents.
The sow was among 20 black bears involved in the observation program.
Generally, it is illegal in Alaska to hunt bear cubs or a sow with her cubs, according to the Department of Fish and Game. Wildlife officials have previously said that it is not illegal for hunters with valid permits to take collared bears. But "the loss of research animals could impede biologists' efforts to learn more about … black bear populations," the department said in a 2016 news release. Hunters who kill collared bears, it said, are required to return the collar to state wildlife authorities within 30 days.
In a criminal complaint, prosecutors said that the April 14 video showed Owen Renner shoot twice at the mother bear, at which point her cubs began "shrieking."
The Renners listened for "several minutes" and then realized that it was not the dead bear that was whimpering, but her cubs, according to court records. Then, from a short distance away, Andrew Renner picked up his rifle, looked through the scope and fired "several more shots, killing the newborn bear cubs," the documents allege. The documents stated that during the slayings, Renner could be heard telling his son, "It doesn't matter. Bear down."
They dragged the mother bear from the den and the elder Renner threw the cub carcasses in the snow, saying, "I'm going to get rid of these guys," according to court records.
In another video clip, court documents say, the 18-year-old told his father that the sow's collar had been removed; the father responded, "We're going to skin it that way," pointing away from the den. Owen Renner then said, "They'll never be able to link it to us," according to the court records.
Prosecutors said the men "butchered" the mother bear and placed the remains in game bags. Two days later, they returned to collect the shell casings and collar and to dispose of the cubs' bodies, the prosecutors said.
When Andrew Renner took the sow's remains to a Fish and Game Department office on April 30, he told officials there that he and his son realized that the bear had "teats" after they killed it but that there were no signs of any cubs in the area, according to court records. He also falsely stated on an official document that he killed the bear when, in fact, his son did, according to the documents.
The bear killings took place on state land, but it rekindled debate about hunting regulations on federal land in Alaska. As in other states, both federal and state laws regulate hunting in Alaska, and, in some cases involving federal public land, such as national parks, federal laws are more restrictive.
Such regulations have long been a point of contention between Alaska officials and politicians and the federal government. Under President Barack Obama, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved a rule in 2016 that barred almost all predator hunting on national wildlife refuges not authorized by the federal government. The next year, the Senate voted to abolish it, and in May, the Trump administration proposed to reverse the regulation. It restricts certain hunting practices, including shooting and killing bear cubs, on federal land across the state.
As The Post's Darryl Fears reported at the time:
A proposed rule published by the National Park Service in the Federal Register would let Alaskan game officials decide whether bear cubs can be killed alongside their mothers, caribou can be shot from a boat while swimming, wolves, including pups, can be hunted in their dens and other animals can be targeted from airplanes and snowmobiles. Animals could also be baited with sweets and killed or poisoned.The Park Service said its proposal is consistent with an order by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to accede to states' wishes to expand recreational hunting. "The purpose of this proposed rule is to align sport hunting regulations in national preserves in Alaska with State of Alaska regulations and to enhance consistency with harvest regulations on surrounding non-federal lands and waters," officials wrote. "The proposed rule would apply the State of Alaska's hunting regulations to national preserve lands, with limited exceptions."
Some wildlife conservation and animal protection organizations that oppose the rule change held up the incident on Esther Island to renew calls for its rejection.
"There isn't enough outrage in the world to cover the depravity of this wanton crime," Kitty Block, acting president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said in a statement. "Whenever a trophy hunter displays such disregard for law and animal life, the organizations that promote trophy hunting — and the elected officials who support their agenda — are quick to condemn the scofflaws. And it would be the right thing to do now. But it would also ring a bit hollow because they are working to make this sort of killing perfectly legal on National Park Service lands in Alaska."

Quotation Machine using the CheeseBoard
Posted by Matthew Little on
Setting yourself a small challenge in the form of an interesting project is a great way of learning - even if it involves a fair bit of failing! I set myself a weekend challenge of using our CheeseBoard ESP8266 development board to obtain and display some data from a website using a wifi connection. My original challenge was to show real time data about the electricity supply mix within the UK. As I looked into this problem I realised that it was far too complex for me to start with. So I reduced the challenge to display some data from...

For our most remote and most adventurous sailing ground look no further than Nosey Be in Madagascar, Nosy Be means "big island" in the Malagasy language and during the course of the week we'll circumnavigate Nosey Be and explore many of the surrounding island communities. Nosy Be is located in the northern Mozambique channel, North-West of Madagascar, one hour from the capital Antananarivo by plane. The Mozambique channel is one of the most biodiverse saltwater ecosystems on the planet and Nosy Be is the ideal starting point for an unforgettable cruise to see it. We will sail to Nosy Komba, Sakatia, Iranja, Mitsio, and Tanikely. Expect to see incredible wildlife, and gorgeous scenery but the real reason to come to madagascar is the Malagasy culture. Sail an island chain where subsistence living off the sea is a rich tradition practiced intentionally to this day.
Upon arriving in Nosey Be take a taxi from the airport to meet your captains at the selected hotel. We'll have dinner together on the first night and talk about what's to come. Board the boats in the morning and get situated. The bulk of the morning will be safety instruction and getting settled in to your new home for the week. Shortly after lunch we'll drop the mooring lines and make our way around to Nosey Komba where we'll drop anchor and sail for seven days around Nosy Be, Madagascar. Please text your captain if you have any travel delays. We recommend ensuring connectivity to a messaging service such as iMessage, Viber, Whatsapp, or SMS until you reach the boat.
Fascene Airport (IATA: NOS, ICAO: FMNN) is an international airport located on the island of Nosy Be, just off the northwest coast of Madagascar, in the Diana region. Despite being just a single runway amongst grazing land with a open air terminal, the airport is one of the busiest in the country.
Once you arrive in Nosy Be, you can rent a car or take a taxi to the resort we will choose ahead of time to settle in before the start of the sail on Saturday day 1.
Nosy Be, being on the North-West side of Madagascar, is largely sheltered from the South-East Monsoon, which means that througout most of the year, we have thermal winds; during the day moderately from the sea, during the night lightly from the land. This keeps the waves to a minimum and makes the area a relaxed sailing experience.
Please ensure your passport is valid for the period of travel and for six months after you return. Your passport name must match the name on the flight ticket otherwise you may not be able to travel and insurance may be invalid. It is the responsibility of each individual to ensure relevant visas are obtained where necessary. The Sailing Collective cannot be held responsible for refusal of entry or travel due to lack of visas. If you are in any doubt please contact your Embassy for full details.
Sailing Collective provisions each boat with local foods and produce from the region. Included in the provisioning package includes:
6 Breakfast, 6 Lunch, 3 Dinner, Snacks*, Water, Light beverages
Not included in provisioning package:
Soft Drinks, Alcohol, Wine, Beer, etc.
Cooking Aboard: Passengers and crew cook family style aboard with cooking enthusiasts welcomed. Sailing Collective skippers and crew are all talented cooks as well and will prepare meals as well. Collective groups may choose to dine out more times than scheduled if the group or individuals choose.
Dietary Restrictions: Important to notify your Sailing Collective representative of any dietary restrictions ahead of time and fill out details in Guest Form.
Today you discover Nosy Komba island, the kingdom of the friendly lemurs. Nosey Komba houses a reserve for ring tailed lemurs that you can visit on a morning hike that meanders through little back alleys into the hills on the island. Small markets line the dirt paths that meander through the town, where gorgeous local handcrafts are available for sale, and snack bars serve the fishermen on the beach.
The archipelago of Nosy Mitsio lies 45 miles north of Nosy Be. It is an idyllic archipelago with tiny tropical islands covered in lush vegetation, pure white sandy beaches littered with shells, and turquoise waters. There are about a dozen islands, ranging from the large Grande Mitsio to the tiny Quatre Freres Islands, home only to seabirds. Sailing to these from Nosy Be it is not unusual to see dolphins and turtles as they come up for air and even humpback whales at the right time of year. La Grande Mitsio is the largest island and has the small villages of Antakarana and Akalava. The villagers still survive by farming, cattle, and goats, and their main mode of transport is pirogues (the traditional sailboats), some of which are very big and do trading runs to the mainland. We will eat lobster and fresh fish caught by local fisherman and delivered to the boat.
Nosy Iranja, 30 miles south of Nosy Be, is made up of two islands conjoined by a bank of white sand, which is submerged at high tide (Nosy Iranja Be: the big, and Nosy Iranja Kely: the small). The island has many attractions and amenities, one of the most notable being that it is an important breeding reserve for hawksbill turtles. The setting is idyllic, stunning beaches surround a lush tropical island covered with coconut palms, Filaos trees and tropical flowers. The bird life is diverse and remarkable and the island is also home to huge Coconut crabs. The northern (bigger) island, Nosy Iranja Be, is home to a small village, inhabited by the local fishermen and a lighthouse designed by Gustav Eiffel. The lighthouse is abandoned.
The so called Orchid Island is an unspoiled piece of paradise only 1km west of Nosy Be, offering excellent snorkeling, diving and moderate hiking. Sakatia is only six kms long and two wide. The population (300 people) is spread over three villages and lives off both the fisheries and crops. The inland is pretty hilly and it offers beautiful hikes, especially at higher elevations. The southern tip of the island is still a virgin forest inhabited by the smallest chameleon of the World (1 cm) and many other species such as fanihy (giant bats). It's relatively untouched by tourism, so is the perfect place to hole up and enjoy the real Madagascar, away from the crowds. On Sakatia, where there are no roads, only footpaths, you can wander among the giant ferns, check out the birds and beasties, laze on the beach or don mask and snorkel and explore the underwater world for which the island is rightly famous. And if you're a scuba diver you've come to the right place; Sakatia has its own NAUI approved dive centre and offers the full gamut of dive courses. The diving is easy — all dives are boat dives, but most are just a short distance from the launch site. The island is fringed by coral reefs and there's plenty of fun to be had in the channel between there and Nosy Be. In addition to colorful coral you are likely to see giant cucumbers, turtles, sponge crabs and, at night, exquisite Spanish dancers, so the sites are great for novices to learn the trade or for night dives. There's also plenty of challenging diving for the adventurous. Huge extensive reefs surround Sakatia and Nosy Be and at their edges are exciting walls and drop-offs, some exciting drift dives and a wreck off Ambatoloaka.
The Bay of Russians (or Ambavatory Bay) lies on the coast of the Virgin Islands, North 25 kilometres of Nosy Be. It lies at the tip of the Ampasindava peninsula. The bay is a real shelter for passing ships and is being used long time anchorage area. The marine environment is remarkable for its beauty and biodiversity. This region is known for the presence of dolphins, whale sharks and manta rays. The humpback whales mate and give birth in this area. The beaches also serve as nesting place for sea turtles while many fringing coral reefs are real natural aquariums. The forests are inhabited by lemurs, wild pigs, bats and birds is represented by one of the rarest raptors (50 couples in the world), Pygargue Madagascar (Haliaetus Vociferoides). Some villages are located nestled the coast and live mainly on fishing, animal husbandry and the cultivation of coconuts. The Bay of Russians has beautiful white sand beaches lined with coconut trees and filao. The most beautiful are Ampoahana, Mahavanona, Ampasimena and Angidroka. Russian bay is where the malagasy term "Mora Mora" (translates to "slowly slowly") really starts to sink in as a way of experiencing the world. A local guide will take you on a wilderness hike where if you take the time to listen you will see the biodiverse complexity of the Malagasy ecosystem. Wander the beach of a village with no roads and no docks and see the sailing canoes return home with the days catch unloading on the beach. The sail back from Russian Bay brings you back to the lively bustle of Helle-ville where the buzz of the local markets will start to ease you back towards reality for your journey home.
The Dufour 500 Grand large is modern, with straightforward lines and the strong and appealing design characteristic for Dufour Yachts. It offers a unique cruising concept for comfortable and secure live-aboard, blue-water cruising, yet still offers a dynamic sailing performance combined with the Dufour's renowned style and elegance.
The Lagoon 450 has everything you could want in a cruising boat: Incredible performance under sail, wide open deck space for lounging, and an incomparable comfort in the saloon and the cabins. The wide hulls of Lagoon 450 offer comfortable cabins with larger floor space than other catamarans of the size. An airy saloon contains an open concept modern galley (kitchen) and comfortable seating all with stunning panoramic visibility of the natural beauty that you came for. The aft deck is covered by a hard top bimini so that there is always plenty of breezy shaded space for lounging when you are taking a break from the sun drenched foredeck. Up front the netted "trampoline" between the hulls is the ultimate place to enjoy this boat under sail with the sun beaming down and the water rushing below you.

What is the Case Study based Project which I need to develop as part of this program?
Project 1: HOME LOAN ELIGIBILITY CHECK
A Home Loans firm provides all kinds of home loans in small, medium and big cities. When any prospective customer needs a home loan, he applies for the same and the firm checks the eligibility of that customer to avail that loan.
The firm needs to check for the loan eligibility through an automated system. Customer would enter the details in an online form like are Name, location, Educational qualification, Date of birth, Monthly income, details for family members, amount of loan needed, details of loan availed from elsewhere etc. Once the process identifies the eligible customers, the firm would focus selling their products to them on priority. As a Data Scientist, you need to devise this loan eligibility prediction model. In other words, you will tell the company by your solution that whether customer applied for loan will default or not in future!
Project 2: MOBICOM CASE STUDY
At Mobicom, you are a business analyst and have been urgently called into a meeting with the marketing head and retention manager. The agenda of this meeting is to discuss the results of Industry survey reports that have been just released. In response to these reports, senior management at Mobicom is concerned that the market environment of rising churn rates and declining ARPU will hit them even harder as churn rate at Mobicom is relatively high. Currently they have been focussing on retaining their customers on a reactive basis when the subscriber calls in to close the account. But this alone does not seem to be enough and the management team is keen to take more initiatives on this front. One of these is to roll out targeted proactive retention programs, which include usage enhancing marketing programs to increase minutes of usage (MOU), rate plan migration, and a bundling strategy among others. To be able to effectively drive these retention strategies, a few key questions of interest require urgent attention and you been given the task of showcasing data based insights and recommendations relating to subscriber churn.

Dean Brody Makes A Scene with the Beautiful Freakshow Video [Watch]
Dean Brody just released the official video for 'Beautiful Freakshow' and we're already obsessed. As great artists do, Dean is pushing the boundaries of country music with his latest release. With that, the video couldn't be shot just anywhere. Dean and Shevy Price (featured on 'Beautiful Freakshow') flew to Cabo, Mexico to film the dynamic video.
Just before the kick-off of the Beautiful Freakshow cross-country arena tour, Dean Brody releases the video for his latest single, "Beautiful Freakshow", a progressive track featuring a rap vocal contribution from Halifax native Shevy Price. Co-written by Price and Brody, lyrically the track takes a look at an exquisite, imperfect, relationship between two people coming together from different walks of life, which is mirrored by the synergistic fusion of country and rap.
Just one week after its official release, Beautiful Freakshow was the #1 Country Album, with the second single, "Time", remaining the top-selling single for 13 weeks straight.
The Beautiful Freakshow Tour 2017 kicks-off April 25 in Hamilton at Hamilton Place Arena. On the west coast dates, 2015 CCMA Rising Star and reigning BCCMA Female Artist of the Year, Madeline Merlo will perform in advance of Brody taking to the stage, and on the Ontario dates, newly Warner Nashville signed act High Valley will bring fans straight into the headliner. Fun loving, Top 5 Canadian country radio act, James Barker Band will be opening the action-packed show across Canada.
The past year saw Brody take home a JUNO Award for Country Album of the Year, along with 4 CCMA Awards for the top selling digital Canadian country single of all-time, "Bring Down the House". Beautiful Freakshow is Brody's sixth album, and it's one that takes risks and delves outside of the comfort zone of traditional country, with songs such as the mellow reggae vibe invoked from "Beautiful Girl", while simultaneously staying true to what many fans have come to love and expect from Brody, with traditional tracks destined to be classics, such as, "Time", "8th Day" and "Blueberry Sky", which features iconic country legend, Vince Gill on the guitar.

Good but should be improved, will keep using the mobile browser version for now It looks great but it has a lot of limitations regarding on checking your stuff on the go – no analytics, no revenue information or checking when funds clear out, though there is an order option. Also it doesn't show the collected gigs and there are such. No to do, which is much more useful than the notifications (even though I opened and checked them I still get an indication there are.a hundred undress). Those might be there but not easy to find if there
This is awesome Very impressive user interface with animations. Fiv err has never been easier….

He is the first African in 33 years of the award's history to receive this honour. President George W. Bush jnr, in his remark, urged Elumelu to be reminded of the 34th President of the United States, President Dwight D. Eisenhower - who the award is in honor of - and the qualities he had.
The Chairman of the UBA Groups dedicated the award to his wife Awele, their children, and the staff of companies he chairs.

I suppose everyone has their secrets.
I definitely have mine.
Although, I'd have to tell you that I never looked at it that way, until one of our daughters mentioned it. Actually, she said she "caught" me. She noticed I did certain things that seemed to make a difference. Ways of diffusing tension. Small steps toward loving him. Habits that helped with the happiness of our marriage.
So, yes, I guess I do have my "secrets" and they're really rather simple ones. Nothing big or brilliant, but I'll share them in case you find that they make a difference in your marriage too.
1. Smile warmly first thing in the morning. Okay, so I'm not exactly a morning person. You could say I'm more of a grumpy, where's-my-coffee, kind of person. But I have determined to greet him with the warmest, most loving smile I can muster. Boy! Does this set a wonderful tone for the day.
2. Do more kissing than complaining. This was the one I was "caught" doing. My husband had done something rather irritating. Downright irksome. And my daughter was watching it all from across the room. Rather than reacting, I laughed and planted a big, juicy one on his lips. Hah! That'll teach him. 🙂
3. Take timing into consideration. So my tendency is to blurt out what I'm feeling…when I'm feeling it. But I'm learning to hold back until I can communicate what I have to say in a calm manner and when he's in a better place to hear me out. It's so worth waiting for the right moment.
4. Make your bedroom a beautiful place. I like turning our room into a lovely oasis for us both. To make sure it's a clean, warm, and inviting place – somewhere that he knows he can find order and peace. Somewhere special that he wants to be with me.
5. Pick and choose the issues you care about. Decide not to jump on every possible offense. Save your "coupons" for those things that truly matter to you. For instance, I care far less about who takes out the trash than I do about the way he talks to me.
6. Purpose to connect with him each day. We like to have coffee together every morning. And I like to send along a short love note, give him a quick call in the middle of the day, or simply snuggle into him at the end of the evening.
7. Pay attention to the details. The way he likes his coffee. When he feels like talking…and when he doesn't. When he needs an item that I could pick up for him while in town. Those tiny details that express love to him.
8. Bless him with a kind word. Pass on a word of encouragement or appreciation. Make it your daily habit to say something nice to him. It's amazing how that small kindness builds up to something big over time.
9. Reach out and touch him. Before you go to sleep at night. Even if he crawls in bed later than me, I like to reach over and remind him that I'm there. And that I'm always his girl. I want him to drift off thinking about my love for him.
10. Tell him, "I love you." Every day. Who doesn't need to be reminded that he is loved? That he is your special guy? Mine still likes to hear it, even though I've been telling him so for over 20 years now. I figure he's heard it close to 7, 655 times – give or take a time or two. That's a lot of love.
So those are some of my secrets. Ten of them. It's not much, I know, but I do believe they've made a difference. Our daughter thinks so too. In fact, she's confided that she wants to carry those secrets into her future marriage as well.
I hope she does.
Some secrets are meant to be passed on.
In His grace,
Lisa Jacobson

Keeping Cool: Don't Take it Personally
Emotions can run rampant in the ADHD household. Tempers flare for no apparent reason, feelings are hurt, and the entire family dynamic can quickly end up in a hot mess. Add to this the natural tendency that most of us have to deflect responsibility, and everyone is getting blamed for everything that happens to everyone else. Next thing you know:
"It's your fault!"
I've personally been blamed for everything from my husband not paying his bills on time to causing the rain that ruined the toy that was left outside all night (which by the way was my fault too!).
When this happens, my tendency is either to fight back or analyze the situation to death (to figure out how, in some small way, I might have helped to create the situation).
Here's the tip: Don't take it personally! Know that it is completely normal for people to resist taking responsibility when they realize that they screwed up! We all do it! In that moment when we feel panic, threatened, or overwhelmed by reality, it's really difficult to simultaneously "own" what's happening.
We might be able to take responsibility once we have calmed down (that's another blog).
Here's how this is a self-care tip. We can't stop people from losing their tempers. Getting into an argument with them about what "really" happened when they are completely fired up will likely have little success. Also, it stresses most of us out when we argue or fight back. None of us needs more stress!
So let your family (for now at least) vent and rant and point fingers. I'm not saying to encourage it, just stand in your truth calmly, and don't react. That way, when it's time to take responsibility and help them figure out what to do, you'll have a good mindset and the energy to help.

A Knight-investigator for the Swan-knight Order or Dol Amroth. He is the youngest child and only son of an obscure noble house that fell out of fortune when Hathlafel's father, Hathlafain, gambled away most of the family's wealth.
Hathlafel was raised straddling the line between noble and peasant, which gave him a nihilistic sense of humor and a tendency to be drawn toward moral grey areas. For a long time, he was the lap dog of the diabolical Lady Gwenithel, but was pardoned for his part in her schemes upon the Lady's execution.
For many years he was considered Dol Amroth's "Most Eligible Bachelor," a title he was more than happy to lose when he proposed to Lady Alduial of House Eluiel, whom he met when stationed in Minas Tirith during the Siege.
Hathlafel lives in the family estate with his aging mother, his sister Calithil, and his adopted daughter [arameril Arameril], whom he calls his sun and moon. Like all Swan-knights, he has a dapple grey warhorse named Sweetheart Step Lightly, upon whom he dotes to a ridiculous degree. He is, it is said, immensely fond of the ocean, and of mermaids.

Staff Reading Pick
Book: Let Me Die In His Footsteps by Lori Roy
Recommended by: Melanie
Two families, touched by an evil that has passed between generations in the Kentucky hills, led by superstition and ritual, finally come together to solve the mysteries that surround the incident that formed their hatred and shaped their lives. Spellbinding and suspenseful.
What a beautiful and lyrical novel. One of my favorites so far this year. Roy is so descriptive in her narrative that I could almost smell the dust and lavender. I see why this author has won awards for her writing and I definitely will be going back to read her earlier works.

Dear Reader,
When Hank came to me for some coaching and advice, he had recently inherited a hybrid virtual team. Four of the team members were in the home office (where he was) and the remaining six team members worked virtually.
Hank's assumption that managing a virtual team would be just like managing the other two collocated teams he oversaw was quickly proved wrong.
In the first team meeting he convened, Hank realized there was no sense of "team" to speak of in this group of employees whose work was, in fact, interdependent with each other. There were no shared goals, no working together and helping each other out, nor any willingness to be vulnerable with each other.
After the first disastrous meeting, Hank had one-on-one conversations with each member of the team to find out what their perceptions were. Here's what he learned:
• For the most part, the four employees in the home office felt like those who worked virtually didn't work as hard as they did.
• One of the virtual members was a lone wolf; she focused on her own work, had a lot of drive and excelled. Individually.
• Another virtual member felt perpetually out of the loop. He thought that the team members in the home office had access to more information, resources and a network of people they could go to help get their work done.
• One virtual team member felt that the previous manager had micro-managed her work and she was frustrated and disengaged as a result.
• Conversely, another virtual member felt that the previous manager provided insufficient guidance and direction, and he felt lost as a result.
• The remaining two virtual team members were so cynical and jaded from their experiences that they weren't forthcoming with Hank about what the issues were.
Hank realized he had his work cut out for him. He knew the importance of bringing a sense of community to this virtual team (in fact, he thought it was generous to call them a team at all!). Hank knew that creating a team out of this group was possible and that it would take some diligence and some new ideas to make it happen.
Together, Hank and I put together a plan of action that would eventually build this motley crew into a team, including interdependence, vulnerability and helping one another.
Check out the blog post below for a few of the specific techniques I shared with Hank for developing community in virtual teams.
Humans crave community. In fact, our survival depends on it. It's true in our personal lives and it's true at work, too.
Community does not necessarily develop as fluidly and naturally when managing virtual teams as when managing collocated teams. Purposefully cultivating a sense of community is often overlooked when managing and supervising virtual teams.
However, if you don't create a vibrant community for virtual employees to belong to, they will find their own community.
Keep reading for four practical things you can do to build community.

Blogging and great mobile device apps started our discussion this week between ABC Radio Australia's Phil and Adelaine, guest Danny Gorog and me.
One of Danny's favourite apps (and mine) is TuneIn Radio a great little paid app that lets you listen to radio from around the world, the other is a fitness related app that uses GPS to track speed, distance and more.
HK3 Hong Kong radio joined our discussion on a wrap up of the CeBit show in Hanover Germany which included 3D hologram cystal balls, new mobile phone designs, features and gizmos including glasses that plug into your mobile device to let you watch movies on the go, dual sim card phones and a whole lot of 3D devices that are springing up on everything technological.
We continued on to chat about future food trends which are moving towards health and nutrition as well as the environment with increasing interest in ancient grains, gluten free beer and organic alcohol all set to rise in popularity.
On line gaming also came up with OnLive, a soon to be launched streaming game provider, talking about knocking off traditional game consoles as the preferred method of on line play.
All this, Google blue dots, word of the week, great conversation and guests made for another busy segment of FutureTech.
Listen to this segment now , or listen each Friday at 12.20 p.m. (Aust EST) and join me on Twitter for in between news and views from the future.

Nikolay Myaskovsky was one of the most distinguished and prolific symphonists of the twentieth century. His musical style was never ultra-modern but may be placed somewhere between the great Russian Romantics and that of his mentor and friend, Prokofiev. Composed in 1943, Symphony No. 24 is a strongly dramatic work. Its first movement has been called a 'heroic ballad', while the second is restrained with a tragic theme. Symphony No. 25, was Myaskovsky's first large post-war orchestral work. Unusually, it begins with a slow movement, a set of variations on a typically Russian theme, which Soviet commentators regarded as an epic portrayal of the Fatherland.

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great day! I'm loving the inspiration from our muse at CASE Study this month - the wonderful Donna Mikasa from 3 Umbrellas blog. She's been taking me to school this month and teaching me new ways to look at things. That's something I really love about CASE - seeing that there are so many different ways to interpret a design, and finding beauty in all of them.
Here's the design for this week - hooked yet? I love the die cut flower, the sprinkle of sequins, the rich gold embossed sentiment on vellum, and YES! Hot Pink!!! So clean, but absolutely PACKED with lots of details. How did I make it mine? I switched out the flower for a heart, the vellum sentiment for a die cut sentiment, and pattern paper, for the plain white card stock. To add a little sparkle to my die cut sentiment I added silver glimmer paper inside the heart cut outs and sprinkled on some silver sequins topped with silver pearls. The die is actually cut into the pattern paper, and the die cut pieces set inside.
Want a little more inspiration, or maybe you just want to see what the rest of the design team made? Just click on their names here to jump to their blogs!
I'm looking forward to seeing what you make! You can link up your designs here - at CASE Study Challenge Blog! Have a great day!

Am I out of my mind? (Answers do not have to be recorded for my reading pleasure, thank you! ;))
Believe it or not–I certainly don't–this is post #300! Had I been paying attention I probably would have gotten it up sooner.
Yes, friends, you've dealt with me for close to three years and 300 incidents of my musings, opinions, recipes and reflections (and surprisingly close to the three-year anniversary of my first post–so not planned). Every now and again, I've hopefully taught something, got you thinking, elicited a smile or chuckle or turned you on to a recipe you'll use for years to come.
One could also hope I've created the desire for you to come back, despite the inconsistency of my posting at times, as well as the seemingly random subjects I've touched upon. I truly wish I had more time (and better focus and organizational skills) to really explore or chat about everything that interests me in some shape or form.
I THANK EACH OF YOU WITH ALL MY HEART for taking the time to visit and making me feel I am not alone here in cyberspace. (Giant hugs go out to those who comment regularly and to those of you who share my content.)
There are no words for how humbled one feels.
My sincerest gratitude,

It has been proven experimentally, that a combination of textual and visual representations can improve the retrieval performance ([20], [23]). It is due to the fact, that the textual and visual feature spaces often represent complementary yet correlated aspects of the same image, thus forming a composite system.
In this paper, we present a model for the combination of visual and textual sub-systems within the user feedback context. The model was inspired by the measurement utilized in quantum mechanics (QM) and the tensor product of co-occurrence (density) matrices, which represents a density matrix of the composite system in QM. It provides a sound and natural framework to seamlessly integrate multiple feature spaces by considering them as a composite system, as well as a new way of measuring the relevance of an image with respect to a context. The proposed approach takes into account both intra (via co-occurrence matrices) and inter (via tensor operator) relationships between features' dimensions. It is also computationally cheap and scalable to large data collections. We test our approach on ImageCLEF2007photo data collection and present interesting findings.

|Hosting Services
At present, the web hosting service providers and website developers represent the top most echelons of the entire software industry and touch our lives in ways that could never have been imagined few decades back. The rampant advancement of internet in our lives helped the web developers and hosting domains in thriving to top of the corporate ladder. However, with the advent of so many web hosting companies, one wonders what should be the most vital elementary concept within the web hosting services: quality or price? Interestingly, the answer to the question is a mix and therefore, coherence must be established between quality and price of the service. An average individual is usually in a fix regarding the several types of web hosting and plenty of similar service providers, amid others.
Evidently, the rapid proliferation of internet in our lives has led to an exponential increase in the needs and requirements for an efficient web hosting company. A large number of small businesses are cropping up everyday with their first big move being registering a domain name and secondly establishing a website. Most newbies resort to cheap strategies for hosting their websites, while ignoring the quality aspects. However, actually, one has to find the perfect balance between the quality of information content and monetary obligations, in order to get the most out of a website for claiming the required objectives. Therefore, a website hosting company plays a vital role in establishing the online presence and becoming accessible to the widest client reach.
Experts believe that both price and quality serve vital functions in offering adept web hosting services. However, the focus should be more on quality as compared to the price, which is always advisable owing to numerous studies on the subject. For instance, compromising on pricing is justifiable, provided that the quality and content is exceptional. Further, the website can always be upgraded later and if it becomes a success, the cut imposed earlier can be replaced in no time. In all fairness, an online presence must adequately portray the ethos of the enterprise it represents and reflect a positive Return on Investment (RoI).

Navy is the new Black
15 Oct
Did you know that Navy is our #1 selling ink color? It's true! And it's easy to see why. Navy blue was even the new black on the 88th Academy Awards red carpet (for men and for women) at Oscars 2016. Go ahead and google the phrase "Navy is the new Black" and you'll see reporting on this from everything from fashion to home decor!
Just like clothing, navy is making a big statement in paper items from notepads to note cards and more. It's appropriate for men, women and children as well. And it's an excellent choice for practically all correspondence needs from formal to casual. Whether you are sending a thank you note card for an interview or for a birthday present, selecting a note with a blue border, navy imprint and/or blue design is great choice.
See some personalized note cards with blue accents and consider what would be a good addition to your desk. This holiday season, perhaps stationery would make a thoughtful present for a hostess gift, a housewarming present, a Christmas or Hanukkah gift, or a teacher gift. There are many designs and styles (navy and many others) to choose from.
Enjoy and stay on trend with navy!
Best wishes,
