Best Practice: LED Streetlight Retrofit
Over a dozen large to mid-size cities have retrofitted or are in the process of retrofitting the standard, high energy consuming streetlights, typically high pressure sodium, with new, high-efficiency LED streetlights. The result of these retrofits will be the replacement of over 600,000 streetlights, resulting in over 198 million kWh reduction and a reduction of greenhouse gases of approximately 126,000 tons of CO2 equivalent. Some of the cities that have taken on large scale retrofits include Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Boise, Chicago, Washington, DC, Dallas and Seattle.
This document discusses the best practices of LED Streetlight retrofitting using The City of El Paso, Texas as a case study.

Release # 95-106
WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, the West Bend Company of West Bend, Wis., is announcing a repair program for 425,000 Automatic Bread & Dough Makers. The breadmakers can overheat, presenting a fire hazard.
West Bend is aware of three recent incidents in which a faulty circuit board of the control panel overheated and caught fire. Neither CPSC nor West Bend is aware of any injuries.
However, consumers should stop using the recalled breadmakers and call West Bend at (800) 874-4084 between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. central time. West Bend will provide free pickup and repair of the breadmakers. And, each repaired unit will have its warranty extended for an additional 12 months.
This recall program involves all models of West Bend Automatic Bread & Dough Makers manufactured between June 1, 1994 and April 9, 1995. Consumers can verify if they own one of these West Bend Bread & Dough Makers by checking the five- or six-digit manufacture date stamp, which includes the month, date and year of production, attached to the back of the unit.
The box-shaped breadmakers mix, knead and bake breads. The breadmakers are made of either white metal with a white plastic lid or black metal with a black plastic lid. The part of the lid with the control panel is labeled in part "Automatic Bread & Dough Maker... West Bend...."
The units were sold nationwide and in Canada at leading retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, and Sam's Club. The twelve models involved in this program had suggested retail prices of up to $300.00.
The action taken by West Bend to notify CPSC of the bread makers' potential fire hazard was acknowledged by Ann Brown, CPSC Chairman. "The corporate responsibility demonstrated by West Bend in initiating this repair program and seeking CPSC's cooperation is a good example of industry working voluntarily with government to provide safer products."
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov or call CPSC's Hotline at 800-638-2772 or teletypewriter at 301-595-7054 for the hearing impaired.

LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, announce Los Angeles posted it's lowest crime rate in 50 years for the year 2009. Violent crimes including rape, robbery, murder, and burglary all reported lower numbers according to LAPD COMPSTAT.
Property crimes rates also reported low numbers, despite a downturn in the economy, which breaks traditional trends in crime.

I have been promoting the LumaPix FotoFusion software for wedding album design since I first met the owners of the company about 4 years ago at the WPPI convention. We use it exclusively at our studio for all of our page design work and any multi-image project. Well, they were showing version 4.1 at the trade show yesterday and I have to say-it looks phenomenal!
We have been holding off upgrading to version 4 still staying with version 3 - hey, we were used to it and like they say, "if it's not broken, don't fix it." Well, maybe now is the time to upgrade. Check out LumaPix:FotoFusion right here and watch their demos. It is an amazing piece of software, simple, intuitive, fast and really helps stimulate those creative juices. You are limited only by your own creativity. I'm flattered too, that they use many of my wedding images in their demos - thanks guys.

One of the tools AI Justice regularly uses to investigate the operation and impact of the U.S. immigration system are the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and the Florida state-law equivalent, Florida's Public Records Act.
By seeking publicly available documents from the government agencies responsible for managing and operating our immigration system, we are able to determine where the government is failing to meet its obligations and were systemic problems have developed within the system.
For example, after the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, AI Justice suspected the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") while telling the U.S. public that it has temporarily ceased deportations of Haitians, had in fact resumed deportations. AI Justice filed a FOIA request regarding resumption of removals to Haiti and after successful litigation against ICE which tried to withhold the records, AI Justice obtained documents demonstrating that the government had resumed removals in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake and despite having direct knowledge of a lethal and widespread outbreak of cholera in Haiti that killed thousands. Armed with the information obtained through our FOIA request and litigation, AI Justice was able to pressure the administration in to halting removals to Haiti and demanded an explanation from the administration for the renewed removals.
1) Baker County Jail Immigrant Detention Center – AI Justice submitted a public records request to Florida's Baker County Jail (BCJ) on April 5, 2013. BCJ failed to properly respond to AI Justice's request. On July 24, 2013, AI Justice filed suit for enforcement under Florida's Public Records Act against BCJ and Baker County. See Americans for Immigrant Justice v. Joey B. Dobbs, in his Official Capacity as Baker County Sheriff, and Baker County, Florida, Civ. Action No. 13-CA-138. The Court ruled in AI Justice's favor and BCJ produced the requested records.
Baker County Jail Public Records Request
2) FOIA to CBP regarding CBP facilities in the Rio Grande Valley Sector – AI Justice submitted a FOIA request regarding the detention conditions in CBP facilities on July 3, 2103. CBP did not respond and AI Justice filed suit in federal court in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Miami. See Americans for Immigrant Justice v. Customs and Border Protection, Civ. Action No. 1:14-cv-20945.
AI Justice's FOIA to CBP was based on reports of inhumane detention conditions experienced by hundreds of immigrant detainees. In earlier 2013, AI Justice attorneys, who conduct regular "Know Your Rights" presentations at Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities, began hearing from immigrant detainees who described prolonged detention in CBP Stations along the Texas Border. AI Justice attorneys interviewed more than one hundred detainees who described the same conditions while in detention:
They were told by CBP that they were being taken to what the CBP agents referred to as the "hieleras" which is Spanish for "iceboxes" or "freezers."
- The hieleras turned out to be a freezing cold concerete holding cells inside a CBP holding station;
- The temperature inside the concrete cells was kept so cold that the detainees' lips chapped and split, their fingers and toes turned blue, and their faces chapped and throbbed with pain;
- The cells had no beds, no chairs, and a single toilet sitting in plain view in the corner of the cell.
- Lights remained on 24 hours a day.
- The detainees, including women and children, slept what little they could on the frigid concrete floor, frequently huddling together for warmth;
- So many detainees were placed in the cells that they were grossly overcrowded. Detainees described being held with as many as sixty other detainees in a single hielera, with all sixty individuals having to share a single toilet. Some detainees indicated that the cells were so crowded they could not stretch their arms out without touching other detainees. Other's detained in the hieleras indicated they were so crowded that there was not enough room to lie down on the floor. Instead they tried to sleep while sitting up.
- When detainees ran out of toilet paper in the overcrowded cells—a frequent occurrence—CBP agents took hours to provide more toilet paper and typically did so only after detainees made repeated requests for more.
- The hieleras have no shower or bathing facilities. As a result, detainees described being held for as long as two weeks without being able to bath or clean themselves. This is particularly hard on female detainees who were menstruating during their detention.
- Detainees are not provided with even the most basic personal hygiene products, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, or soap.
- Detainees are not provided with a change of clothing. They remain in the clothing in which they were apprehended. Consequently many of them remain for days or weeks in soiled clothing.
- Detainees describe being fed only once every twelve hours. The "meal" consists of a bologna sandwich which was often either freezing cold or actually partially frozen. As a result, they were constantly hungry and suffered headaches.
- The only water available to the detainees is provided in a single thermos shared by all the detainees. No cups are provided to drink the water. Detainees describe the water as smelling like bleach and burning their throats when they drank it.
- No medical facilities exist at the hieleras.
- Detainees who arrive with prescription medications have their medications confiscated.

It's been 16 years, 8 films and 4.8 billion dollars!! The most recent film in the franchise, Fate of the Furious marks its triumphant return to cinema, now among the biggest cinema franchises of all time. There are even plans for a total of ten films and then, thank god, it will hopefully be over. But if I know Hollywood this is going to keep going until it stops making enough money… but it's time for it to die.
What started the franchise was stealing DVD players essentially, and as the budget got bigger and the cast expanded now there are submarines chasing cars and characters that can survive multi-storey car parks collapsing. It no longer has the niche that started the franchise with a focus of actual good car action. Mindless action isn't a bad thing, but when an 8 film franchise is known for just that it screams unoriginality. These days it feels like the Mission Impossible 2 writing process, action set pieces first, plot second.
Now there are submarines chasing cars and characters that can survive multi-storey car parks collapsing
Tantamount to the series new direction is this concept of 'family', now this in itself isn't a bad idea, the recent Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 does it well. However in this franchise it's so badly shoved down your throat and feels so unnatural, most characters actually don't even like each other. It's just so badly executed that it's cringworthy now, either have a natural progression of this concept or don't bloody use it!
Grab your popcorn because it's so formulaic for it hurts
But what happened to Vin Diesel?!?! You're probably asking, why is he evil? Well grab your popcorn because it's so formulaic for Hollywood it hurts. I won't spoil it in case you want to see it, but c'mon. As soon as I saw that in the trailer I thought "he's going to be good guy in the end again anyway, so what's the point?" Why make a plot point if it isn't going to actually be that interesting? I mean in the newest Transformers (comparable to F8 in a lot of ways actually) it seems Optimus has gone rogue, but I can already understand why, humans have killed all his mates, it's a character arch that makes sense, which for Transformers and it's explosions is saying a lot.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, kill Fast and Furious. It is perhaps the best (or worst?) example of unoriginal Hollywood moviemaking and only keeps going because it makes money. End it… please.

Mattel Games
You've stumbled upon a mad scientist's lab and been exposed to his experiment–the one that caused him to turn into a werewolf. Lucky for you, he did create an antidote as well, but it's not that simple. . . . The antidote is locked away, and you only have an hour to solve the clues around the room and unlock the box, or you'll be stuck as a werewolf yourself!
The basic idea of this is the same as for an actual escape room . . . only you have everything you need in a single package that you can take home and play for the cost of about 1.5-2 tickets into your average escape room. I was actually quite impressed by this game. The scenario was interesting, and the puzzles were appropriately themed. Moreover, the puzzles managed to be challenging while still manageable. You have a lot of that back and forth of one answer tying into another puzzle, plus the whole going through everything you've got just trying things to see what works. There's even a blacklight! We played with 6 players, which worked well, but you can have up to 8 at a time. And bonus: although it would be kind of pointless for the same people to play over again, since you'll know the answers, you can save everything in the box, print out new papers, and re-set everything for a new set of players (find instructions and more information here). Highly recommended for those who love escape rooms or puzzle games, or for those who are looking for an inexpensive, easy way to give the whole escape-room thing a try.

A shortened week of preparation didn't shortchange Stagg.
While the Chargers were glad to win their season-opener, regardless of when it finally took place, there was no denying that a weather-induced reshuffling of the schedule did them no favors. After beating Hillcrest on Labor Day, Stagg coaches had just three days to get their players ready for Oak Lawn's visit on Friday.
As if that wasn't a formidable enough task, it was further complicated by the fact that the Chargers' home debut was also part of Stagg's homecoming festivities. And the occasion would be heightened by the appearance of Amos Alonzo Stagg's grandchildren, who were going to help celebrate the school's 50th anniversary.
But Chargers head coach Mike Fahey never let his athletes forget there was a game to be played. Despite all the apparent obstacles it was forced to clear, Stagg did so nicely, as it collected a 36-14 triumph over the Spartans.
The Chargers opened a season with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2005, which, interestingly enough, was also the last time they qualified for the state tournament. Stagg hadn't won consecutive games at any point of a campaign since 2009.
"Our kids were pumped and I've got to give them a lot of credit," Fahey said. "To play two games in five days and execute a game plan as well as they did [on Friday] says a lot about them. Our seniors led the right way and everything just clicked.
"We know we still have a lot of work to do [to improve], but we're 2-0 and this was the best I've seen us play against a good team at Stagg High School in a long time."
The Chargers (2-0) shoved Oak Lawn (1-1) into an early hole by scoring twice within a few minutes. After running 12 plays and hitting a first-quarter payoff on Austin Kelly's touchdown dash, Stagg's defense pounced on a botched Spartans handoff during the latter's initial series and tallied again two plays later when quarterback Adam Pilota bootlegged 8 yards.
"They were on an emotional high and we couldn't weather that quarter," Oak Lawn coach Sean Lucas said.
"It was a weird week for us, but there were no excuses," Fahey said. "We just kind of worked on what we had to, lined up and let our fundamentals take control. With that start and an enormous crowd [behind us], the kids really responded in a great way."
Lucas wasn't so fortunate. While the Spartans finally broke through on quarterback Konrad Lach's 9-yard keeper in the second period, they still trailed by two scores at halftime after Kelly raced 15 yards to the visitors' end zone.
Oak Lawn had two solid chances to draw closer before the break, but came up empty both times primarily because of its own missteps. In the first of those instances, the Spartans couldn't connect on a fade route and, thus, failed to exploit a Chargers cornerback who had slipped and fallen.
Then just prior to intermission, Oak Lawn ventured to the Stagg 30, but got pushed backward by a sack and false start.
"Five more yards [forward] and we could have tried a field goal," Lucas said. "Even a field goal would have helped there. Any kind of points can build momentum."
The Spartans had that concept reinforced to them at the start of the third stanza, when the Chargers embarked on a 13-play march that used up about eight minutes and extended the home team's lead to 29-7. The mammoth trek was culminated by Jack Duffner's 12-yard gallop to paydirt.
"Once we got to that point, we felt pretty good," Fahey said. "Their defense looked gassed, [so] we just kept the ball on the ground."
Stagg was so effective running the ball that it attempted only four passes. Rushing-wise, the Chargers amassed more than 300 yards. Chioke Elmore delivered their final touchdown on a 2-yard dash.
"He uses their personnel well," Lucas said of his coaching counterpart. "They just came out and got us."
Lucas had tried to sell his guys on the idea that they were experiencing a playoff atmosphere and told them they were still very much in the game midway through it, but there was no bouncing back once Stagg garnered its fourth TD.
"Our effort was unacceptable," said Lucas, whose team notched its other TD on Ray Howard's 6-yard run in the fourth quarter.
"The circumstances of the game starting like that didn't help things. I thought that carried their emotions higher than they would have been, but we didn't compete the way we should have and it was disappointing."
Oak Lawn enters the South Suburban Conference Red portion of its slate Friday against Evergreen Park, which picked up its first on-field win of the season last week by rallying in the final minute to beat Phillips. Lucas admitted the Mustangs have "some fast kids and it'll be hard to simulate certain aspects" in practice, but he simply wants to see more out of his own team.
In particular, he desires better tackling efficiency by his prevention-side group. Lucas wasn't crazy about the fact that secondary man Ryne Melnick (nine solo stops, two assists) posted the most impressive stats in that category.
"It's tough [for a ball carrier] to get out of a mob of tacklers," Lucas said. "We just need to take care of ourselves. We need to shore up the disconnect between what we're teaching and what the kids are doing on Friday night."
Joe Robinson (six solos, two assists) and Kyle Kuzur (five solos, eight assists) were other main men on defense.
Stagg squares off with Lincoln-Way East in a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue clash on Friday.
"No disrespect to Oak Lawn or Hillcrest, but our schedule gets a lot tougher," Fahey said. "These [first two] games were huge for us because we put ourselves in a good position to get to the playoffs. It's been a long time [since that happened].
"We talked to the kids about that. It's been hard, but the kids are excited."

Covering all things fashion and styling, journalist Pandora Sykes brings flawless vintage-chic and razor sharp wit to every outfit and written word. Based in London, 29 year old Pandora has collaborated on projects with big brands such as Chanel, Liberty London, Free People and Selfridges to name but a few. Colourful, funny and effortlessly cool, we had to open her box of style secrets to discover how she fuels her creative drive...
1. You're a Journalist, Stylist, Fashion Features Editor and Wardrobe Mistress at The Sunday Times Style - you're obviously a very creative person! What and/or who inspires you?
Everything from Caroline Sieber's house (seriously - Google it) to Leandra Medine's style, to Attico's silk embroidered gowns. Anything beautiful and unique just grabs my attention and gets me excited. My husband and I just bought a painting, that has this kind of oxodised copper explosion on it, by Danish artist Kristian Kragelund - and I'm currently basing all my interiors and personal style decisions around it.
2. What is it that drives your success?
I have a tremendously strong guilt complex. I feel guilty if I am not working, not stretching myself and if I don't have something to show from my life. I am driven, essentially, by Catholic Guilt! I'm a classic nerd, Googling everything and anything to learn more.
3. We're always saying how important personality is in the home, and this definitely applies to fashion, too. What are your top 3 tips for putting together an outfit?
It has to feel like you. Don't wear it because someone else does; there are tons of awesomely dressed girls who I know better than to copy. Take, German editor Veronika Heilbrunner. She is about 6 inches taller than me, so I know that just because she rocks a babydoll dress with Timberland boots, doesn't mean that I can.
Secondly, build your outfit. For example, I tend to start around one piece - the trousers, or the blouse, or very often, the shoes - and it becomes easier to mix and match like a puzzle, rather than an over-whelming 'WHAT THE HELL DO I WEAR' kind of thing.
Thirdly, the best thing I ever did with my wardrobe was to erect a tiny 'second rail' in my spare room where I rotate 15 pieces I currently love, or that are new to my wardrobe. I spy them every morning when I get dressed, and that makes sure I stay creative with my style.
4. How would you describe your home to someone who hasn't seen it before?
Ever-changing. I am constantly upgrading elements of it! I think it's probably a bit like my wardrobe - lots of different elements. Bits of shabby chic design merged with Scandi. So, for example, white walls and wooden floorboards and a marble and glass table; but then zingy velvet and marble cushions and a LOT of books and candles. It is, also, very tidy!
5. How does your creativity translate into your decor?
I think of it the same way I do my wardrobe. Does this reflect my life (or, rather, our lives!) Is it practical? Do I enjoy the way the different pieces jostle together?
6. What's your favourite piece of home ware that you own?
My husband gave me a crab in a bell jar, from an antiques shop on the Golbourne road, which is awesome! I took the bell jar off, once... the smell. Oh god, the smell. My nose shall never recover.
7. We saw that you recently honeymooned in beautiful Central America (congratulations!), do you find a lot of inspiration for your work in travel? We know we do!
Yes, I do, but more subtly. I don't see a painting of a skull (the very thing we bought from a Nicaraguan art fair, in fact) and think COOL. I want bright skulls all over my home. But the colours, textures and details, most certainly.
8. We're dying to know how you would style RSG if we were one person. What do you think our go to outfit would be?
Well, you have great taste, so you'd be off to a good start already. I think you love pattern and texture, so something like a beautifully cut kimono jacket in a great fabric, over some slim cut trousers and a luxurious pair of slides. Flat slides, because you're clearly a busy lady, doing up houses and the such like.
9. What are your top 3 RSG products?
This Cowhide Torres Armchair, the Vintage Industrial Steel Trolley Table and the 100% Bamboo Silk Rug in 'Silence'.
Finally, some quick fire questions!
I'm happiest when I'm: with friends, with a big glass of Miraval rose, wetting my pants laughing, with nowhere else I have to be.
My biggest guilty pleasure is: Massages. Long baths with a book. And, shoes.
My favourite magazine is: Sunday Times Style! Obviously.
If money was no object I would: travel the world buying beautiful pieces of furniture and vintage clothes.
My best skill is: My best practical skill is my ability to touch type. My best non-practical skill is my ability to ride a unicycle, and also I can roll my tummy like a belly dancer.
My personal motto is: Kindness gets you everywhere.
My favourite film is: Love, Actually. I just can't get enough of Emma Thompson listening to Joni Mitchell. It's just so human.
In 5 years I'd like to: wouldn't you like to know! Actually, so would I.

Furthermore, in collaboration with various institutions, we hold "Best Of NaturVision" events, at which primarily the winners of the competition as well as outstanding films from the programme are shown. The aim of these events is not only to promote the NaturVision Film Festival, but above all to provide a forum for the genre of nature, wildlife and environmental films that will open up new audiences.

Hi Everyone, I just want to share a way to upgrade Tableau Server 2018.1 to 2018.2 or 2018.2, 2018.2.1, 2018.2.2 , 2018.3, 2018.3.1
I did a lot of trial and error on figuring out on how to upgrade from TabAdmin to the new TSM (Tableau Services Manager) CLI.
-Download the latest installers:
Tableau Server | Tableau Software
Note: It is recommended to have a testing environment first before upgrading your Main Tableau Server,
Doing a Tableau Server upgrade testing in a live production will interrupt your Tableau services.
1. If you have an existing 2018.1 installed on your computer, you have to uninstall it.
You may do a manual backup using tabadmin backup command. Uninstalling the Tableau Server 2018.1 will
create automatic backup in C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server if you select the backup data before uninstall.
Move the backup file created in C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\uninstall-2018.1.tsbak to other folder.
2. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Tableau Server and C:\ProgramData\Tableau
3. Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts\ and click Change My Environment Variables
If you see (4) Tableau Variables please delete these:
These are reference used by the installers. So you can change the installer default directory and required to be deleted
for fresh installation.
If you happen to see
Please delete it also.
This variable only inserted if there is an error occurred while doing fresh installation. just like this example
4.Download CCleaner application and install it.This tool will clear junk files, left over files from installers and damage registry.
Run the registry Tab , scan and Fix selected Issues.
If you run the CCleaner tool, the Tableau Server Services will become like this.
5. Enable your User Account Control to Always notify. So we can see the Tableau servers changes to our PC. (More on Part B)
5. Restart your PC.
Part B
Installing the Tableau Server 2018.2, 2018.2.1, 2018.2.2 , 2018.3, 2018.3.1
1. Run the installer of Tableau Server.
2. I recommend to install the Tableau Server in C: Drive. or select the drive you want it to install.
3. Wait for the installer it to finish extraction.
4. After extracting it must show "Create new Tableau Server Installation". If these option does not show
and only click install button is available then repeat Part A.
5. Now by proceeding next the Tableau Server will initialize.
There are (4) Services will be inserted to firewall and needs approval and these are
Just Press Allow Access button.
6. After Initializing the installer will open a browser asking you to log in.
Part C
1. Before login, go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Services.
2. You will see (6) Tableau Services
1. Tableau Server Administration Agent
2. Tableau Server Administration Controller
3. Tableau Server Client File Service
4. Tableau Server Coordination Service (Ensemble 1)
5. Tableau Server License Manager
6. Tableau Server Service Manager
Note: if you did not see the Tableau Server Service Manager on the list, its okay, this service will also be installed
during Initialization. Also upon initialization the Log On As settings will be also replicated automatically.
3. Double click starting from Administration Agent> Log On Tab > Click this account
Click the button Browse. And Browse the administrator account by typing Administrator and click Check Names and
click Ok Button.
4. Do this for other 5 Services. and the result should be like this.
5. Restart the (6) services by right clicking and select restart.
6. This is where you must log in. Log in to https://<host-name>:8850
7. Fill up the serial Number and activate (Provide proxy settings if necessary)
8. Register the information needed.
9. In the Run as service account. Provide the same info for username ex. <host-name>\administrator and apply fillup password and complete the form.
10. Click Initialize.
11. Please wait if it jumps to 5/40 and it will hopefully works.
Part D:
Backup Data Restoration
1. Click this link on how to restore the .tsbak file to your new version of Tableau Server.
Tableau Server Database Drivers and connectors
If you happen to remove or uninstalled the database drivers from the previous setup,
You may download and reinstall the required drivers.

Driver Download | Tableau Software
Tableau Server Upgrade from 2018.2.x to 2018.3.0
Upgrading to 2018.3.0 does not require for the older versions of 2018.2.x to be uninstalled.
Just run the 2018.3.0 installer directly. Download the latest version Tableau Server | Tableau Software
1. Backup first the current Tableau server 2018.2.x version for safety.
tsm maintenance backup -f ts_backup -d
2. Your Windows Account should be the local administrator. Execute the installer directly.
3. The installer will just have buttons to proceed next and wait.
4. The installer will now extract the files.
5. Now check only the 'Automatically launch the upgrade script' and press ok button.
6. Now you will see the command prompt and enter the administrator password.
The upgrading process will takes time. Just wait and monitor it.
Tip: In my experience using command prompt, sometimes it freezes or you do not
notice that the command is not moving or proceeding next or stop. Just press right click anywhere inside the
command prompt window from time to time to make it refresh. (I usually experience it
always when upgrading Tableau Server.)
Below are my screenshot of upgrading process:
After the upgrade script, run the TSM shortcut.
The server will require to register only information. Fill up the form and press register.
After register, it will proceed to this state. all services are shutdown.
On the upper right click the drop arrow and click Start Tableau Server
It will tell you that it takes time. Just click confirm button
Finally it will restart all the services . Just wait.
Finally your server is now upgraded.
Tableau Server Upgrade from 2018.3.1 to 2019.1.1

"Biological diversity is the key to the maintenance of the world as we know it."

If you want a perennial water feature, you might install a small Frog Pond edged with dazzling Cardinal Flower, Blue Lobelia, Pickerel Plant and Wild Canna. A fringe of Tussock Sedge and Southern Blue Flag completes the design.
These natives also flourish in boggy, damp areas or areas with heavy, wet and clay soils where many other species cannot survive. Your Frog Pond can me made with a pre-formed sheet liner, but a pond with a simple clay bottom will allow amphibians to over-winter.

Just as the Goddess Aradia rules the realms of knowledge and learning, those of the east, of the mental and of air, so this is the aspect of training associated with Her. We see the Eastern Quarter-point as a time of dawnings and beginnings and the time of commitment to learning all of the left brain materials and correspondences of the craft. It is a time of studiousness and of the first workings with that knowledge and energy.
This phase requires that students go through the Philosophy & Magick of Wicca class, which spans from eight to twelve weeks, and entails much book learning and hands-on practice of Wicca.

Spring 2013 MenswearRoberto Cavalli
A clear cage of live butterflies stood at the center of Roberto Cavalli's runway. Daniele Cavalli, who now leads the house's menswear efforts, loves an animal spirit, and for Spring, he chose the butterfly, icon of transformation. He traced the progression in the runway looks from caterpillar to cocoon to full-on glitz and glam.
Glam being the operative word. "A new glam, a chic glam—that was my goal," the younger Cavalli said backstage before the show. "For me, glam is not only glam rock. I thought about how Cecil Beaton, in another field, was glam, too. For me, glam is a kind of feeling of sexy but in a really masculine way." The tailoring in pastel metallics (Full Metal Jackets of a particularly un-Kubrickian kind), glowing with the dark shine of a butterfly wing motif, or eventually, at the apotheosis, covered in glitter, said "glam" quite clearly. If they added "masculine," it was in a whisper.
The step forward for the season was the new jacket silhouette Cavalli pioneered, one inspired, he said, by the ease he feels when wearing a double-breasted top open—something he replicated in single-breasted versions by moving from a structured shoulder to a looser construction, angling the bottom on the bias for an almost cutaway look.

Charlene Elizabeth Brinkman
Born September 20, 1954, San Diego, California
For Weird Tales
"The Pandora Principle" with A.E. van Vogt (serial, Fall 1984)
If Brinke Stevens were not a real person, she could be a sidekick to Doc Savage or Buckaroo Banzai. Actress, model, screenwriter, and author, Brinke has degrees in psychology and marine biology, has studied foreign languages, including Esperanto, and is or was a member of Mensa. Known as a scream queen, she has appeared in dozens of horror movies. Her first was Necromancy (1972), starring Orson Welles, but it isn't clear to me whether she was in the original, the 1983 reissue--in which she was billed as Berinka Stevens--or both. In 1980, Brinke married artist Dave Stevens (1955-2008). Their marriage lasted less than a year, but she continued to model for him and other artists. Her only story for Weird Tales was the first part of a serial, "The Pandora Principle," with A.E. van Vogt. Her only other credit for fiction in the Internet Speculative Fiction Database is the novelette "Jacking In," published in Stranger by Night (1995).
|I can't say for sure, but that looks a lot like Brinke Stevens on the cover of the first Bellerophon Weird Tales, Fall 1984. The artist was the rare and elusive Ro H. Kim.
Born August 7, 1938, Iowa
Died April 6, 2011
For Weird Tales
"Flecks of Gold" (short story, Fall 1984)
Born in Iowa, Larry Eugene Tritten grew up in Idaho, served in the U.S. Army for two years, and attended North Idaho Junior College. He studied creative writing at San Francisco State University on a scholarship and lived most of his life in San Francisco, minus his frequent travels overseas. Tritten wrote science fiction stories and travel articles, movie reviews, humorous pieces, and more, over 1,500 articles in his lifetime. His first published science fiction story was "West Is West" in If, August 1968. He contributed to the Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, and San Francisco Chronicle, as well as magazines, including Harpers, Hustler, The New Yorker, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Travel and Leisure, and Vanity Fair. Like so many of the writers on this list, Tritten had a personal connection to Harlan Ellison, who wrote of him, "I was enormously fond of Larry, of his humor, his goodwill and sense of being proudly, as I am, a simple 'blue collar' artisan."
|Larry Tritten's story "Late Night in the Rusty Tiara" was in the third and final issue of the British magazine Beyond Science Fiction & Fantasy in September/October 1995. The cover artists were Boris Vallejo (b. 1941) and Les Edwards (b. 1949).
A.E. van Vogt
Alfred Elton van Vogt
Born April 26, 1912, Gretna, Manitoba, Canada
Died January 26, 2000, Los Angeles, California
For Weird Tales
"The Pandora Principle" with Brinke Stevens (serial, Fall 1984)
"The Brain" (short story, Winter 1985)
A.E. van Vogt is considered a giant among science fiction authors of the Golden Age and was among the last to appear in Weird Tales. He enjoyed a long and productive career writing short stories, novels, poems, and essays. His first published science fiction story was "Black Destroyer" in John W. Campbell's Astounding Science-Fiction, July 1939. His series include Null-A, Rull, Slan, the Space Beagle, and the Weapons Shop of Isher. Like Campbell and others in his circle, van Vogt fell for Dianetics and was an associate of L. Ron Hubbard for more than a decade.
Born in Canada, van Vogt moved around as a child, remembering in adulthood:
Childhood was a terrible period for me. I was like a ship without anchor being swept along through darkness in a storm. Again and again I sought shelter, only to be forced out of it by something new. (Quoted in "Man Beyond Man: The Early Stories of A. E. van Vogt" by Alexei Panshin, here.)
On van Vogt's novelette The Mixed Men, Darrell Schweitzer (an editor of Weird Tales) wrote:
This is the realism, and logic, of a small boy playing with toy soldiers in a sandbox. I'm tougher than you. I've got a billion spaceships! They're brand-new. They only took 800 years to develop. . . . There is no intersection with adult reality at any point, for all van Vogt was able to write was that small boy's sandbox game with an adult level of intensity. (From "Letters of Comment," The New York Review of Science Fiction, May 1999.)
Others have had different opinions, of course, but if the facts of biography bear upon an author's work, then Mr. Schweitzer seems to have picked up on something of significance, something that might lead to an understanding not only of van Vogt's writing but also of his interest in Dianetics. In any case, van Vogt wrote two stories for the Bellerophon Weird Tales, part one of a serial, "The Pandora Principle," co-authored with Brinke Stevens and never completed in print (Fall 1984), and "The Brain" (Winter 1985). If I read the Internet Speculative Fiction Database correctly (always a problem with its cumbersome system of cataloguing), "The Brain" was his second to last magazine story.
Gerald "Jerry" Neal Williamson
Born April 17, 1932, Indianapolis, Indiana
Died December 8, 2005, Noblesville, Indiana
For Weird Tales
"The Bus People" (short story, Winter 1985)
J.N. Williamson was primarily a writer of horror stories and novels. He also wrote non-fiction. Williamson authored more than forty novels and collections and more than 100 short stories. "The Bus People," his only story for Weird Tales (of which I am aware), came near the beginning of his career. Williamson received a lifetime achievement award from the Horror Writers of America in 2003. He was born in my native city of Indianapolis; graduated from Shortridge High School, as did Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007); and attended Butler University, as did James Alexander Thom (b. 1933), who, like Williamson, majored in journalism. I wonder if they knew each other, or if my uncle, who sat next to Mr. Thom in English class at Butler, also knew the man who would later become a writer of horror stories.

John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris
Aka John Beynon, Lucas Parkes
Born July 10, 1903, Dorridge, Warwickshire, England
Died March 11, 1969, Petersfield, Hampshire, England
For Weird Tales
"Vengeance by Proxy" (short story, Winter 1985; originally in Strange Stories, Feb. 1940)
Although Bellerophon was not the miner of old stories that Sam Moskowitz was in the Weird Tales of the 1970s, it nonetheless uncovered works from long-gone authors, including "Vengeance by Proxy" by John Wyndham, originally in Strange Stories in February 1940. Born before the Great War, Wyndham, né Harris, was shaped by that conflict and its sequel, in which he took part as a public servant and a soldier who landed at Normandy after the first wave. By then he had already been contributing to American science fiction and fantasy magazines for more than a decade, his first story, "Worlds to Barter," having been published in Wonder Stories in May 1931. Readers of today might best remember him as the author of The Day of the Triffids (1951) and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957), filmed as The Village of the Damned (1960). The first book has had some influence, consciously or not, on our current mythology of zombies. (Like The Walking Dead, it opens in a hospital when an unaffected man awakes to a post-apocalyptic world.) The second speaks presciently about a current and very real invasion of Europe and the inadequacy of Western liberalism in defending itself against threats from the outside.
|Originally published in 1935, John Beynon Harris' novel The Secret People was reprinted by Lancer in the 1960s. Here is the cover to the second Lancer printing (1967), with an illustration by Frank Frazetta.

New ChocScotch Egg from Derbyshire bakery
The latest bakery innovation comes from Bakezilla's Bespoke Cakes, and is set to take Easter by storm.
Bakezilla's founder Becs Sheard unveiled her ChocScotch Egg on Facebook earlier this month, to a rapturous reception. The picture was picked up by popular webpage The Food Bible, where it was liked more than 30,000 times and shared by over 21,000 Facebook food fans.
There's a Cadbury's Creme Egg, there are Mini Eggs and, of course, there is cake.
"It just went mental," said Sheard. "I picked up and adapted the idea from elsewhere and when I put them on my Facebook page, I had 150 orders from 6pm to going to bed that night."
With bakeries in Long Eaton near Nottingham and Mirfield in West Yorkshire, Bakezilla's Bespoke Cakes was set up by Sheard in 2014 after the birth of her daughter, Alana, as she wanted to spend more time at home with her.
Collect on Good Friday
Sheard is a self-taught baker, and said that she learnt "simply through trial and error".
The ChocScotch Eggs are £3 each, or two for £5, with collection on Good Friday, from either Mirfield or Long Eaton.

As if The Grounds of Alexandria wasn't enough, the industrial surrounds of Bourke Road in the 2015 post code are just getting busier and foodier by the day. Indeed, you can now do all your deli, gourmet and drygoods shopping here too, with import warehouse Casa Gusto rebranding, opening to the public and putting on a damn good show at their gourmet retail outlet Salt Meats Cheese.
They've been open to the public for a while, but the name change marks the launch of the warehouse space as a foodie emporium, which features a mozzarella lab where you can peer through a window and watch them make anything from creamy mozzarella to dulce de leche or stuffed olives.
The warehouse is packed full of gourmet items at wholesale prices, including Marrella candy-striped rainbow pasta, panettone and dried mushrooms. There's a deli room in addition to the mozzarella lab, where you can pick up buckets of bocconcini. But they're not done yet – there are two more labs set to join the crew any day now. Construction has begun on a pasta lab (focused on super grain pasta) and a gelato lab (using traditional recipes) that, with any luck, will be open by Christmas, while down the back of the warehouse, the finishing touches are being put on the meat curing room and restaurant, where you will be able to sit at the pink salt-topped bar (with room for around 10 lucky diners) and order fresh cut, cured meats from the 200 plus legs swinging from the ceiling.
"It's going to be more a degustation place," says Stefano De Blasi, whose family is behind the Casa Gusto brand. "You'll come here and ask to try any kind. We go from 14 months (that's the minimum by law that a Serrano can be aged) up to 24 months. We'll offer any kind of feed: grain feed, nut feed, free-range. And they're from everywhere – Spain and Italy and local as well."
The salt used in the construction of the space as well as a specialised fan will aid in the curing process and the installation-style restaurant and bar will open on December 14. But for now, come and grab your flavoured salts, olive oils, vinegars and specialty grains, because if this isn't a one-stop gourmet shop, then we don't know what else you could possibly be after.

Suspects who dumped alligator inside Florida Wawa sought
There are more than 1 million alligators in Florida. Alligators are the state reptile and were threatened with extinction in the 1960s.
LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. (AP) — Florida authorities are searching for two suspects after an injured alligator was dumped in a Wawa store.
The Bradenton Herald quotes Manatee County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dave Bristow as saying the department was alerted to the alligator around 2:30 a.m. Friday. Bristow says the department was told two people had dropped off a three-foot (1-meter) alligator at the Lakewood Ranch convenience store.
Deputies alerted the Fish and Wildlife Commission, which sent a trapper who removed the gator.

Overlay that overlays Discord over everything. The Very frontest layer and brought to the surface by using the Overlay shortcut. Just a thought. 17

I'm in a worrisome way folks. It's because I created a baking disaster. The kind of baking disaster that makes you think about your own mortality.
What? You know you do this too. And if you don't, I don't want to know about it.
So there is this quote. An adage, if you will. It's in a movie I didn't see and a white dude who made first a pile of cash for his athletic prowess and then by motivating folks apparently said it. The thing is, he's wrong. And I feel pretty confident in saying that not simply because he was sentenced to 7 years for a pyramid scheme. (It always comes down to following the money. Every dang time.)
Glenn Turner, of cricket and motivational speaking fame, once said: "Worrying is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere."
And while I appreciate the point Turner is making, that worrying about things is unproductive and that time would be better spent in action, I think he's missing the point.
Have you ever sat in a rocking chair? Rocking back and forth for a long, long time? A few things happen if you do.
The gyroscope of yourself eventually rights itself. The angst is soothed, the anxiety is quieted, the fear is replaced, to some extent, by peace.
And the process ends up moving you from where you started to a different place.
I know this is true because I rocked three babies to sleep. Rocking a non-sleeper to sleep is a process of rocking back and forth, back and forth for a long, long time; running into the wall opposite of you; standing up and pushing the chair back to somewhere near its original spot; and starting all over again.
Rocking back and forth may seem like it doesn't take you anywhere, and it is true you don't end up going anywhere new. But you do creep forward. And the process is a calming one.
And what does this adage have to do with dying and baking disasters?
I made banana bread muffins yesterday.
Banana bread muffins is my thing as a mom, even though I don't really like banana bread. It's the thing my kids will probably reminisce about when they gather for my memorial. "Remember how Mom always made us banana bread muffins and she'd stir chocolate chips into half the batch for Oldest and cinnamon in the other half for Middlest and Littlest?"
I have a favorite recipe and although I have tried new-fangled ones, its the old, batter-spattered one I always return to. For my kids, banana bread muffins are tasty reminders that I love them and that they are from a home where fresh from the oven baked goods are the norm.
And so yesterday I made muffins. Half the batch I sprinkled with mini-chocolate chips and half I sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Then I carefully swirled the batter in each muffin cup so that the tasty bits were spread throughout each muffin. I put them in the oven, set the timer and went about the evening stuff. And when the timer dinged, I pulled out a dozen banana-scented hockey pucks.
Funny how most things in life turn out better when you remember to add a leavener.
Mister Soandso saw my dejected expression. "They still taste good, hon."
"Yes, but I'm pretty sure this means that I'm going to die flying to Denver on Thursday and my children's memory of me will be how I made them banana bread hockey pucks."
I am afraid to fly. Not to the extent that I refuse to fly or that I need to take prescription medication, but the whole time I am flying, I am on the alert, like a cat waiting for a mouse to appear simply because it happened once.
I have flown in terrible weather, with terrible turbulence. And while I know all the statistics about the relative safety of flying and how I am in far more peril driving to the airport than in flying, well, I know all the statistics.
Because people like me? We remember the stuff we read and we also remember which mental filing cabinet drawer to pull those statistics from…so the entire take-off, I'm listening to landing gear lifting and flaps moving. I'm gauging the angles and the speed and I'm holding my breath and the arm rest. The flight is no better. I listen. I listen to engine noise, people's conversations, metal moving against metal. And then landing, it's like taking off but in reverse.
I worry the whole flight. I rock those statistics back and forth in my mind in hopes of getting to a slightly different place.
I worry about trusting someone else with my life. I worry about trusting a machine to protect my flimsy body. I worry about other people's actions.
I worry about my life's leavener.
So this Thursday as I drive to the airport and then board my flight, you know I'll be thinking very hard. I'll be remembering the number of domestic airplane crashes since 1950 and the number of fatalities per airplane category. I'll be thinking, rocking back and forth in my mind between stories of disaster and stories of miracles.
And I'll be thinking of the banana bread muffins left on the counter for my children to nibble on.

description and myths
Strange humanlike beings with wings like less colorful versions of those of the Birds of Paradise. All theories so far indicate that angels are a physical manifestation of the divine, and reside far above the earth, shining with the radiance that lights the night skies most beautifully.
Their wings cannot carry their weight, having a wingspan roughly twice the size of their body, and so most scholars believe that angels instead fly by using the power of their mind, or possibly wind magic.
Their magical abilities have been proven to be highly powerful, second only in power to the raw, primal energies unleashed without thought by demons. The weapons of angels, crafted from unobtainable divine metals, herefore dubbed "Orihalk" and "Mystrille" in accordance to reliable translations of ancient scriptures, are likewise finely tuned to the same elemental magic that angels use.
The sect of the New Angels is attempting to replace the truth with its wildly farfetched, unproven opinions disguised as fact, and all good citizens with a whit of common sense should disregard the following:
- That angels are the distant descendants of a species of birds and are somehow related to the Birds of Paradise.
- That angels fly by using nondescript, highly-specialized machinery that draws its energies from a spellstone charged with a large amount of, very unlikely, wind and earth magic trapped inside.
- That angels need to use spellstones rich in, ridiculously enough, life energy. They go on to infer that Orihalk and Mystrille are two such types of spellstones, and that the "proper" translations should be "Orihalcon" and "Mythril".

This simple yet nourishing pregnancy herbal soup with Dang Shen was shared by my mother-in-law, and my dear hubs helped to prepare the concoction after checking with her.
Dang Shen, also known as, Codonopsis Pilosula, is a type of Chinese herbs used mainly to boost immunity, reduce fatigue and stimulate the central nervous system.
While it looks very similar to Ginseng and Cordyceps, it is sometimes referred to as the "poor man's Ginseng" because both Ginseng and Cordyceps are more costly.
This recipe was done using a slow cooker and simmered over approx. 6 hours before consuming.
Pregnancy Herbal Soup with Dang Shen, Wolfberries and Red Dates Recipe
1/2 black chicken – either black chicken or pork ribs can be used
Water – fill enough to cover ingredients or as desired.
Dang Shen, one strip sliced
Wolfberries, a handful
Red Dates, 10 – 15pcs
- Blanch the meat. Drain water and set meat aside.
- Rinse herbs and put into slow cooker and pour water to keep ingredients submerged. Set at auto for slow cooker to work its magic.
- Cook for approx. 4 to 6 hours, season and ready to serve.
Benefits of drinking this soup with Dang Shen during pregnancy:
Dang Shen: Boost immunity, reduce fatigue and stimulate the central nervous system
Wolfberries (or Goji berries): Aids in vision, beneficial to kidney and livers, and packs loads of antioxidants.
Red dates: Coveted superfruit by the Chinese, boosting 70-80X more Vitamin C than grapes and apples, helps improve immunity and anemia. Previously we did an iron-boosting drink during my first pregnancy as I was suffering from low iron levels, and it really did help!
- Ensure meat is fully cooked before consuming the soup or meat.
- Reduce the amount of water for a richer soup – the amount we used was a tad too much, so the soup ended up less concentrated.
- Recommended to drink once to twice a week.
- Enjoy the meat with some cut chilli and soy sauce, and serve with rice and veggies for a complete meal.
- If you are unsure, always check with your doctor before consuming herbs during pregnancy.

My first degree was in photography, film and television and whilst filming is very much part and parcel of who I am as a documentary filmmaker, the still photograph has become my re-found love. I've become a little bit disenchanted with the ubiquitous nature of digital imagery and its reproducibility so I am currently experimenting with form and with presentation. I hope to exhibit at some point in the next couple of years but in the meantime here are some snaps.
This is the image that has been selected for the Lumen 50. An exhibition that will travel the world as part of the Lumen Prize – the first digital fine art prize. I'm hugely pleased to have been selected. It's called Foot & Paw. Lumen Prize

Author: Bishop Julius Okarike
Verse Of The Day: The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Psalms 12 : 6
LISTEN: God's word is flawless. It is without a trace of mistake. There are no defects, weaknesses, or imperfections in it. It stands in opposition to the words of wicked men. (Ps 12:2; 28 : 3); their words are deceitful, sinful, and impure. But God is known by His infallible words. The Scriptures are the words of God; and they are pure and holy, free from all human mixtures, and from all fraud and deceit; they are the Scriptures of truth. The promises are the words of God, and they are firm and stable, and always to be depended on, and are ever fulfilled, being yea and amen in Christ Jesus. Besides, The Gospel we preach, and the doctrines of it, are the words of God; that is the sincere milk of the word, pure and incorrupt; as it is in itself, and they are all according to godliness, and tend to encourage and promote purity and holiness of heart and life. We are not complete until we 'eat' the word. God's pure word is the lamp that leads to safety and perfection. Hence, to reject it is to miss the way and be lost forever.
Beloved, our verse of the day speaks of the word of God as silver refined in fire seven times. This means that, God's words are of great worth and value. Truly, they are more valuable than silver or gold. (Ps 19 : 10). His word is a mine of rich treasure, and to the promises thereof are exceedingly precious. Those who treasure it would discover that it yields more joy than the finding a great spoil. The word of God is tried as silver; and it is pure, and free from the dross of error and falsehood. (Ps 18:30). In God's word are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. No doubt, we have comfortable and confirming evidence of the purity and truth of the words of God. Yea! His word like silver, is purified seven times; that is, many times, and so completely and perfectly pure, and clear of all dross whatsoever. Beloved, God's word does not deceive, so eat it and treasure it in your heart and your life will be made beautiful.
Having read today's devotional, what is expected of you?
1. Learn to rely on God's word in every situation.
2. Live in line with the instructions of the word of God and you will not miss your way.
3. Run away from the falsehood and error of sin, and cling to God's infallible word.
4. Treasure God's word in your heart and it will yield comfort and joy for you.
Daily Prayer: Dear Lord! Your word is pure and complete. There is no error and falsehood in your word. Help me to know your word, and to know you with understanding of who you really are. Thank you for answering my prayer, in Jesus' name, amen.
Daily Task: Beloved, study and meditate on Gods word, and treasure it in your heart and it will yield comfort, joy and life to you.
Daily Reflection: We are not complete until we 'eat' the word of God. His pure word is the lamp that leads to safety, perfection and life.
Daily Quote: God's word is light, life and peace; to reject it is to miss the way and be lost forever.
Today In History: January 14, 2011 Tunisian president Ben Ali, flees to Saudi Arabia after popular protests known as the Jasmine Revolution.
Say This: Today, I confess that God's word is pure and perfect. It has no error or falsehood. It leads to peace and life. Therefore, I will study, meditate and rely on it, in Jesus' name, amen.
Daily Prophetic Declaration: You will make a difference. Today, I prophesy to your life, as you eat the pure and complete word of God, you will be saved from error and falsehood. May God help you to know His word with understanding of who He really is, in Jesus' name, amen.
Stunning Fact: Did you know that it is physically impossible for pigs to look up at the sky?
