The May tag didn't change much but the Mother's day one isn't even close. I used the flower idea from Valentine's Day and changed the green/purple dots. Guess this picture barely shows them.
Now June...it's not even close. I had a pattern here at the house that was one flip flop - using my pattern maker I recreated it and then copied and flipped it making a pair of shoes. I feel this is more Juney than the graduation caps the designer had used.

Thankfully, Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is as fun as it sounds. The debut film from Japanese director Shinichi Fukazawa is an adoring love-letter to the age of V/H/S and the morals cheap direct-to-video entertainment. In it, Shinji (Fukazawa himself as a disappointingly scrawny body-builder) visits the old abode of his recently diseased father with his ex-girlfriend and a psychic. It's not long before a vengeful spirit makes escape impossible and a violent death highly probable.
At just an hour's runtime, Fukazawa doesn't beat around the bush. After ten minutes of set-up, he spends the rest of the time subjecting his hero to all the grotty gunge-infested gore you could expect from a love-letter to the era of the video nasty, specifically Sam Raimi's highly influential Evil Dead films. Blood Muscle Body Builder in Hell is shot, edited, and paced like an old banned film; the set is claustrophobic as Hell and feels so authentic it's hard not to think the film's been hiding in some dusty basement for thirty years. It's a survival horror film just as indebted to Japan's own low-end horror classics (77's Hausu, 88's Evil Dead Trap, and the gory classics of Chih-Hung Kuei seem top of the pile) as it is to the American produce which popularised this kind of shameless gloopy fun. And oh boy is it gloopy.
As you'd expect with a hark-back like this, the effects are thankfully practical and a little bit silly. Buckets of grunge pour from manically laughing corpses and the cool gore moments come thick and fast. More than anything Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is a showcase of practical effects potential, pulling off multiple moments of savvy fresh-faced nasty. The effect is a packed hour of wow-inducing low-budget thrills which throws so much at the viewer its hard not to enjoy. The same applies to the scores which come mostly from some really unsettling ghostly superimpositions; scares which would seem lame or preposterous in any other film, but fit in perfectly with the purposefully dated vibe of the film. But that's not to say it can't get under your skin, there's an intimacy to Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell which allows it to get under your skin in a very short space of time.
It's just a shame Shinichi's debut is so indebted to The Evil Dead. Wearing the same costume as Bruce Campbell's Ash is a fine nod, but it goes too far. Especially when you consider the artwork for the film was done by Graham Humphreys who, famously did the poster work for Evil Dead. And once Shinichi has said 'groovy' it feels almost immature in its emphatic pointing. With fewer Evil Dead references it could have been a far more unique venture, less of a Japanese rip-off and more a V/H/S-inspired film in its own right, but it's a small gripe.
All in all, this is a showcase of talents, from Fukazawa's budget-wary thrills and genre-awareness to the quality and volume of the effects. Bloody Muscle Body Builder in Hell is an extended short film, or a feature film missing reels, either way, it feels like the kind of thing that used to hide on the top-shelf of your local video store, which is no easy feat. Well worth checking out.

At 500km out its radar floor height will be quite high and vlo bogies can still sneak around
The height of the mast mount aint changi
AEGIS Baseline 9.0 that is currently operational ushered in concurrent IAMD for the US Navy i.e. the BMD ships (Destroyers and Cruisers) upgraded with BL-9 can perform both the Ballistic Missile Defense, and Maritime point and Area Defense mission concurrently.
Meanwhile, the capability to execute exoatmosheric intercepts has increased dramatically both in terms of the threats (Target missile performance), all out range, and altitude coverage. SM-3 Block 1B, and SM-3 Block 2A increase that dramatically.
Another point that is often overlooked is that with the upcoming induction of the SM3 IIA, the US Navy will be able to cover pretty much all of LEO as far as an ASAT capability/role is concerned and with ships deployed around the world this opens up a lot of flexibility as a retaliatory action if someone starts to attack US space assets. SM3 IA has already demonstrated real ASAT capability more than a decade ago but this is not something they talk about very often but it isn't hard to do the math if one counts the number of fielded interceptors and number of available cells on DDGs available for growth.
Also, not sure where the 500km figure comes from as it is not an accurate representation when you are talking about a higher power 5000+ T/R module GaN S-Band face and an overall >50% increase in Power Supply relative to DDG-51 Flt. II. Best estimates for Ballistic Missile Warhead (RCS 0.03 m2) detection capability of the SPY-1 is around 300-350 km. The SPY-6 was required to track half the RCS at twice the range so you can develop a rough sense of what ranges it can get you if you hold warhead RCS constant.
You are looking at a 14 foot wide antenna and a 4th generation AESA ( 37 RMA SPY-6) compared to a 12 foot wide PESA (SPY-1) .
Currently, the DDG can use forward deployed AN/TPY-2's for cuiing SM3's and are able to Launch SM3s on Remote before a ballistic Missile comes into the field of view of their SPY-1 radars (or it may not come into its FOV ever and the PIP is calculated and communicated to the interceptor by cooperative engagement). In the future with the SPY-6, with greater range, the reliance on forward deployed TPY-2s will be reduced as organic capability will be enhanced.
Additionally, with AEGIS Baseline 9 and beyond the US Navy now has NIFC-CA so the interceptor performance need not be restricted to SPY-1/6 radar horizon limitation as Launch on Remote, Forward Pass and Cooperative Fire Control level targeting is possible with the EA-18G, F-35C, E-2D and even with other forward deployed sips (Using E-2/EA-18G as gateways). CEC and NIFC-CA are the reason why the US Navy is buying 70 E-2Ds; It is not just to provide AEW to the Carrier Strike Group but to enable cooperative targeting using SM6 and future interceptors. Expect the "gateway" TTNT capability to also come on the Triton's via later upgrades.
Using NIFC-CA and either MADL (F-35) or TTNT data-link (EA-18G and E-2D) the Aegis ships with BL 9 can launch SM6 missiles even if the intended targets are outside their radar's horizon. This capability has already been fielded and it has been demonstrated on multiple occasions (Google - NIFC-CA).
The US Navy is now looking to a larger SM6 by upgrading its main motor to match the diameter of the SM3 Block 2A which should take its maximum range against subsonic or low supersonic targets to beyond 450-500 km for OTH targeting and should allow it to provide terminal defense against IRBM class missiles vs MRBM capability fielded with the existing SM6 missiles.
Finally, the US Navy and the Missile Defense Agency was ordered by the US Congress to demonstrate intercept capability of the SM3 Block IIA against a simple ICBM (exact language of the mandate below)
US 2018 Budget wrote:...not later than December 31, 2020 conduct a test to evaluate and demonstrate, if technologically feasible, the capability to defeat a simple intercontinental ballistic missile threat using the standard missile 3 block IIA missile interceptor.
^ If the Congress demands this capability from US Navy's deployed ships then one logical way to achieve this would be to require the much larger 69 RMA AMDR on the future large surface combatant which the US Navy has just begun working on for fielding in the next decade.
Singha wrote:May have some use in tbmd but how so vs sea skimmers and low flying manned platforms ?
The sea skimming threat will only partially be dealt with the SPY-6 and its of shoots. There is a dedicated X-Band radar for that, and the US Navy also plans on fielding a new GaN X-Band Radar (AN/SPQ-9B replacement) as an upgrade to this capability so that it can buddy up with SPY-6 and its derivatives on all destroyers and frigates. Although both radars are multi-mission, there is usually a distinction in terms of the specific missions they perform to support BMD, Point and fleet Area defense needs and other duties (ATC, Periscope detection.. etc).

It's Definitely Not Sunday Again
Monday morning starts off with my alarm working perfectly. Apparently I am not. Never heard a sound from 5:45 am when the alarm began it's attempts to arouse me, until I actually woke up (primarily because it was so damn bright in my bedroom) at 8:30 am.
As I rush around to make coffee and gather my wits, my non-working or going to school 17 year old, (who will be working by Tuesday, AND enrolled in an online program or she'll be lacking a house and food) strolls out of her room in a perky mood, looking beautiful and well refreshed, asking if she may have some coffee while humming a tune. Why does this make me hate her more than I already do? One can infer, I have my own reasons.
Now it's 11:45 am and I'm still attempting to ingest enough coffee to lose the puffy eyes and co-workers are microwaving their lunch, making the whole place smell like food – yuck! Half my day is missing and I'm trying to catch the hell up. And write about it. Because writing about it helps. And takes up more time. And I work better under pressure.

From the Beltway to the Valley: Google nabs White House CSO
Google is joining high-tech peers such as Apple and Uber in the rush to hire talent well versed in Capitol Hill politicking.
The Silicon Valley search giant, which recently announced a restructuring around a central holding company called Alphabet, quietly has hired away President Barack Obama's first federal chief sustainability officer, Kate Brandt.
According to a LinkedIn account in Brandt's name, she joined Google in July and "will be leading the development of their corporate sustainability strategy."
Google did not dispute Brandt's hiring in response to questions from GreenBiz, but the company has yet to formally announce the move.
Instead, a spokesperson referred all inquiries about how Brandt's role might fit into Google's restructuring to a blog post by founder Larry Page. In the post, Page outlines how Alphabet will serve as a central holding company for Google spinoffs such as self-driving cars and life sciences. He does not address how corporate social responsibility might fit into those plans.
It may sound odd that Google — a company that has publicized more than $1 billion worth of investment in clean energy — wouldn't already have an overarching sustainability strategy in place.
As GreenBiz has detailed, the founder of Google's Green Business and Operations Strategy Group, Robyn Beavers, departed in mid-2013 for a senior vice president role at utility NRG Energy. In the meantime, Joyce Dickerson has overseen sustainability for the company's massive global data center operation, and Google's real estate team has stayed busy building green features into the ever-growing Googleplex in suburban Mountain View, California.
Observers say the move by Google to hire a D.C. policy expert could underscore a maturation of in-house sustainability efforts at large tech firms, where there often isn't a clear road map to achieve ambitious environmental goals.
"One of the things we are increasingly seeing for IT companies who want to reach goals like becoming 100 percent renewably powered is that, often, the biggest obstacles for that are policy-related," David Pomerantz, a senior climate and energy campaigner for Greenpeace, told GreenBiz.
Apple provides perhaps the clearest example to date of turning to a policy veteran on sustainability. Since May 2013, former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson has been running the company's environmental initiatives, as illustrated most notably with an $848 million solar buy earlier this year.
While not as explicitly tied to environmental issues, ridesharing giant Uber's hiring of ex-Obama campaign manager David Plouffe in mid-2014 — during a time of mass confusion over how to regulate rapidly evolving mobility services — provided another example of a public-private sector career jump with big potential corporate citizenship implications.
When it comes to how energy issues could factor into strengthened ties between Silicon Valley and Capitol Hill, Pomerantz said tech companies are likely to confront a steep learning curve.
"It is different than lobbying for tax credits," Pomerantz said, adding that time will tell how significant the hire is. "Don't expect any one person to work miracles. Change can take a little bit of time."
Energy politics
While tech companies are increasingly associated with progressive views on climate change and the economics of renewable energy, making good on green energy goals is by no means a given.
The constellation of renewable energy buying options is expanding with corporate purchasing alliances and financial innovations, such as digital power purchase agreements (PPAs). But buying wind, solar and other renewables still isn't easy — especially in markets where utilities and regulators have done little to curb fossil fuel dependence.
"Often utilities are very reticent or reluctant to enable that," Pomerantz said. "They're in some cases highly, highly regulated and protected monopolies."
While Google and peers such as Apple already spend millions lobbying the federal government on issues — corporate tax codes, cybersecurity and other policy issues directly related to their core businesses — the energy needed to power their operations traditionally hasn't been a big policy focus.
Here's a snapshot of Google's lobbying expenditures to date and the issues that come up most frequently in the company's disclosure reports, according to the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics:
While environmental issues don't appear frequently on the lobbying docket, wind power does show up in two Google lobbying documents so far for 2015 — which make sense given that the company announced a major new deal to power its headquarters with wind energy in February.
Whether growing tech lobbying groups wade farther into renewable energy issues could be significant both logistically, potentially making it easier for businesses to buy clean energy, as well as symbolically. Some suggest, for instance, that tech companies could make great poster children for climate action in the run-up to the United Nations COP21 climate talks this December in Paris.
"At least 11 big IT companies have committed to 100 percent renewables," Ryan Schuchard, associate director of climate change for nonprofit sustainability membership group BSR, said at a recent industry event in Silicon Valley. "(Tech) has one of the best levers of any sector to move on renewables."
Already, big time tech executives publicly have taken up the clean energy mantle on a few occasions in recent memory.
Google Chairman Eric Schmidt cut ties with "lying" conservative lobbying groups that deny climate change. Apple CEO Tim Cook preached the "very significant savings" that can accompany fixed long-term renewable energy costs, as opposed to more volatile fossil fuel prices.
Still, activist groups including Greenpeace, which publishes an annual report on the greening of the tech industry, say that more work remains to be done on data center energy use and electronics manufacturing supply chains in particular.
"Before they are able to take on a role of evangelist, they've still got their own work to do," Pomerantz said. "Ideally, we want tech companies who are both walking the walk and talking the talk on renewable energy."
Staffing up
While large, cash-rich tech firms have been quick to jump into renewable energy buying and setting bold public sustainability goals, they've been slower in some cases to actually staff up in this department.
Although corporate social responsibility efforts have a history of being relegated to the fringes at large companies focused on short-term investor returns, relatively young tech companies such as Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook have gravitated toward the financial appeal of increasingly affordable renewable energy, along with ancillary branding and recruiting benefits.
Google's career site, for instance, includes a section on "moving sustainably" that boasts perks including "biodiesel commuter shuttles, electric car-share program, plug-in charging stations for employees, and fleet of gBikes." A separate "Google Green" site includes both data on the company's internal investments and operations — they've been carbon neutral since 2007 — and external efforts, such as mapping rooftops for solar energy potential.
When it comes to the executives that actually dream up and implement sustainability programs at tech companies, the charge from the C Suite is often broad in nature.
Apple, for instance, promoted Jackson earlier this year to a new role as vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, putting her in charge of the company's increasingly robust global government affairs efforts. Jackson, who was unavailable for an interview, reports directly to Cook.
"When a company brings in somebody like Lisa Jackson and she is given a lot of power within the company, that can be a really good sign," Pomerantz said.
In Brandt, Google is getting a veteran of the Obama campaign who went on to serve in multiple environmental and climate-focused roles at the White House, Department of Defense and Department of Energy.
She was tapped by the president to serve as the the administration's federal environmental executive in April 2014. In March, an executive order promoted Brandt to chief sustainability officer for the federal government, overseeing the environmental impact of some 600,000 vehicles, 500,000 buildings and $445 billion worth of goods and services.
How that experience will translate to Google remains to be seen. In addition to aiming for 100 percent renewable energy, the company is also growing its data center and building portfolio around the world — not to mention new business lines with big environmental implications, such as autonomous vehicles or drones.
A search of Google's current job listings returns 40 positions that include the keyword sustainability.That includes everything from an "energy strategy associate" to a food program "quality assurance and risk manager." (A few listings refer to sustainability in an operational context, such as business development roles to "build sustainable and strategic relationships.")
Amazon: Tech's sustainability wild card
Something of a foil to Apple and Google can be found in Amazon, which just hired its first chief sustainability officer, Kara Hurst, last year. Rather than a public policy background, Hurst is a veteran of the corporate sustainability world as the former CEO of The Sustainability Consortium.
The logistics giant, with its complex supply chain and growing web services arm with energy-intensive data centers all over the world, has been called a sustainability laggard by advocacy groups and remains publicly silent about its approach to environmental issues.
A spokesperson for Amazon declined to make Hurst available for an interview, or to provide details on her current priorities for the company.
Of the thousands of jobs open at the company, ranging from warehouse positions to senior executive roles, 59 jobs contain sustainability as a keyword. Like Google, some of Amazon's listings use sustainability in the sense of long-term stability (such as networks engineered to last) rather than an explicitly environmental capacity.
Open positions at Amazon include: a conflict minerals program manager; a senior manager of economic development; and a "business and merchant development" employee tasked with selling web services to energy and utility companies grappling with an evolving market. Earlier this spring, the company was hiring for a sustainability program manager.
Although Amazon Web Services quietly set its own 100 percent renewable energy goal late last year, activist groups such as Greenpeace are still watching to see how the company intends to balance rapid growth with sustainability efforts.
"Amazon's central flaw on all of this is it's so non-transparent on its energy footprint," Pomerantz said. "Is its renewable development getting swamped by growth in the dirty grid?"

Introduction given at the Academy Strategy meeting of headteachers and governors at Church House, Westminster on 1 December 2016
Welcome to this historic event. Not often have so many from our schools come together and certainly not in this distinguished hall. It gives me the opportunity of thanking you all for your tremendous work in Catholic education, in the schools and colleges of our diocese. Please convey my thanks to your colleagues in school and on governing bodies.
Here, since 1850 schools have been central to the life and mission of the Church.
During this time, and especially since the 1944 Education Act, this mission has always involved a changing and challenging interface with Government. At no time has there been an unchanging environment which has simply left us free to get on with what we want to do.
Sometimes this interface has been constructive, as in the preparation for the '44 Act. Mostly this environment has been shaped by difficulties in negotiation or resisting change, or, more recently, answering hostile critics.
This time is similar, although in recent days there is a growing acknowledgment of the effectiveness of Catholic education: today's reports showing that our schools are points of effective social integration for children of other faiths.
Throughout all of this history, a great strength of Catholic education is that we have stood together, under the leadership of the bishops, and acted in a reasonably coordinated fashion. We have had our moments!
This is why the key point I want to make today, as we gather for this briefing on our way forward, is that we are one body, one family both in the mission we have been given and in the efforts we make to put it into practice effectively and gracefully. We are called to work together to seek the flourishing of all our schools and colleges in face of the current challenges and opportunities
I want to thank all those, and there are very many, who have contributed to the consultations: headteachers, governors, clergy and diocesan trustees. Those consultations have shaped the decisions we have taken.
You do not need me to tell you that at the centre of our efforts is the education of children in a way which meets all the profound vision of humanity illuminated by the vision and grace of the greatest gift of all: God's Word in our flesh in Jesus. This is at the centre of all that we seek in this revision and reshaping of our efforts.
The requirements of developing our education around the patterns of the academy structure are demanding on us all. These requirements will bring change to us all, not least to the diocesan education service. Part of what lies before is the challenge of establishing effective partnerships between schools, within this new structure, well served by the overall diocesan service and especially by the establishment of the Academy Project Board.
But now I am beginning to stray into details. Yes, as bishops and trustees, we have examined these details carefully and over a considerable period of time. That is why I now confidently hand over to Director of Education Service, John Paul Morrison, who will take us into the details of our way forward.

Is Lindsay Lohan Getting Special Treatment In Court?
By Jen Heger
Radar Legal Editor
Is it one rule for troubled actress Lindsay Lohan and another for all others?
That's the question that has to be asked with the news that all cameras have been banned from the Mean Girls star's court appearance this Friday.
It's a stunning development because Judge Sautner, who Lindsay will be facing, allowed cameras in the courtroom for fellow actor, Mel Gibson's plea on a misdemeanor battery charge just last month.
In addition, a well connected source tells RadarOnline: "It's the DA's policy that we will NEVER oppose having cameras in the courtroom, ever.
"The public has a right to see and know what is happening in the judicial system. There is a great deal of interest in the Lohan case, and it's too bad that the public won't have the opportunity to have access to the proceedings."
Adding to the controversy further, all of Lindsay's previous appearances in connection with the grand theft case – in front of Judge Keith Schwartz – had television cameras allowed in the courtroom.
The 24-year-old is due back in court for a preliminary hearing to ascertain if there is enough evidence to go to trial in her felony grand theft case.
Lohan is accused of stealing a $2,500 "one of a kind" designer necklace from a Venice Beach area jewelers.
Lindsay's hearing is scheduled for April 22 and it's anticipated that it could last 1-2 days.
As RadarOnline previously reported Lindsay's preliminary hearing could be postponed though because it's Good Friday, and all parties are agreeable to having the matter continued.
A final decision has yet to be made on whether or not to reschedule.

As we mentioned in a previous post (part 4 of our review of Allen and Pardo's relative plausibility paper), "plausibility", however defined, is just another word for "probability." Yet, this notion of plausibility, though simple and intuitive, is a crude concept at best–not because it eschews the use of numerical values; but rather because it expresses only one shade of the probability continuum. It turns out there are many different words and phrases to describe many different levels of probability. [See chart below. More details are available here (via Wikipedia) and here too (via the CIA Library).] The main point (the one most relevant to the legal proof literature) is that we don't always need to express our probabilities (or subjective degrees of belief) using numerical values. Words can work just fine, but we will need more than one word.

Chelsea are set to make a £25M move to sign Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, according to the Express.
As per the Express, Oxlade-Chamberlain has just one year remaining on his current deal with the Gunners, and rejected a contract extension last month.
The Express believe that Antonio Conte is ready to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the England international's future.
It is reported that Conte wants to use Oxlade-Chamberlain as a wing-back, a role in which he impressed after Arsene Wenger's switch to a 3-4-3 system last term.
The Express claim that Chelsea will now make a £25M move to try and prise Oxlade-Chamberlain away from the Emirates. Our pursuit of the 23-year-old will not be straightforward, however.
The Express report that Liverpool are also interested in securing his services this summer. It also seems unlikely that Arsenal would be willing to allow him leave to a direct Premier League rival.
Only time will tell if Oxlade-Chamberlain will be a Chelsea player come the end of the transfer window.

What Insurances Does Dave Recommend?
Chris would like to know what types of insurance Dave recommends, and which ones that he shouldn't fool with.
QUESTION: Chris wants to know what types of insurance are good and what types he should stay away from.
ANSWER: The purpose of insurance is to transfer risk, risk that you can't afford to take. Having a heart attack and bypass surgery will bankrupt 99% of the people out there. You therefore need health insurance to transfer that risk to a health insurance company. You also need auto insurance and homeowner's insurance, or renter's insurance if you don't own a home. Be sure to have that.
Have life insurance as well. If you are married or have kids, you need to have eight to ten times your income in 15-year or 20-year level term life insurance. It's absolutely vital to have long term disability insurance, which covers you to age 65 or so if you become disabled. The cheapest way to get that is through a group.
Insurance that you don't need is cancer insurance, for example. You have health insurance and that covers your cancer bills. Don't buy accidental death insurance. If you die by accident versus die by disease, you aren't double dead. Don't buy return of premium on any type of policy. Never buy whole life insurance policy, cash value or universal life. It's very expensive and has horrible returns.
You do want to get long term care insurance if you are 60 or older. It's insurance that takes care of you if you go into a nursing home. Stay away from the gimmick insurance crap.

SAN DIEGO – University police arrested a man suspected of groping four female students at San Diego State University.
The assaults happened early Tuesday in two separate incidents that took place 45 minutes apart, according to investigators.
One student told police that a man groped her and her friend at about 12:30 a.m. near the Aztec Corner Apartments. Two other students reported that a man groped them on the pedestrian bridge near the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union at about 1:15 a.m. Their description of the attacker matched the description given by the first victims, according to police.
Police began searching the campus for the attacker. One officer found a man matching the description provided by the victims. The women identified the man as their attacker.
Minda Shewangizaw, who is not an SDSU student, was arrested and booked into the San Diego Central Jail on suspicion of sexual battery, touching a person intimately and annoying a child under 18. Court records show Shewangizaw was no longer in custody Thursday.
But Tuesday's arrest wasn't the first time Shewangizaw has been arrested on a college campus this year. A UC Riverside police officer confirmed Shewangizaw was arrested on the campus May 22 and booked into a Riverside County Jail on assault and false imprisonment charges. Further details of the arrest were not available.
Riverside District Attorney's office spokesman John Hall said there was no criminal case in his office against Shewangizaw. Hall said UC Riverside police may not have forwarded their case for prosecution.
SDSU police detectives were aware of Shewangizaw's May arrest on the Riverside campus and are "looking into it," Conlon said.
"They've been in contact with Riverside authorities to see what the circumstances were," the lieutenant said.

We've been enjoying sea kayak trips all winter when the weather allows but today's brilliant sunshine and calm seas seemed to mark a turning point – the summer is approaching and we are really looking forward to the busy season we have planned. Hopefully there will be lots more days like today when there is not a ripple on the sea, lots of curious seals and the brilliant silence of just drifting amongst the Arisaig Skerries.

Two days ago another episode happened. Some common friends who just discovered they knew boyfriend and me were comparing notes. So the person known to me, comes and tells me how they were comparing notes and then says you guys aren't getting married anytime soon isn't it? So I reluctantly say no. Then he asks me have I asked boyfriend why not. I shush him in a very fun way, but it sets the tone for 3 days (including today) of my being mopey and snarky and feeling I am trapped in this relationship.
I want marriage and I have made no bones about it to boyfriend. Approaching 30 in less than 2 weeks from now, I feel like time is running out. If I spend a year or two more with him, my ovary might just dry up I feel. Already my periods are scanty. I have cried, pleaded and gone on and on about how important it is to me. But at 3 years, I havent even once spoken to his folks and he gets irritated when the topic of marriage is brought up. He has in the recent past told me about how I tend to complain about my job, my financial status and everything else always and fail to look at what's working for me. True as that may be and I know I am no saint, I still feel that this decision is stuck because of him. My folks are ready to meet him, I have staved off all the plans they had of marrying me of, I have stood up to them. His folks, I have no idea about, because he refuses to talk much about it and he gets angry if I say he hasn't really been working to get it done. Also the last time we were all in the same city, I asked him to talk to his mom and he said she just went silent as if she hadn't heard what he said and refused to discuss it any further. We had a fight that day, but ultimately made up. Its tough for us to stay mad when we are around each other.
I may have to allow for the fact that he is younger and that 1.5 of these 3 years he was abroad doing an MBA and he has now got a job in a different city. But even so, I feel now is time enough. Yes, I havent shut up enough about it. Sometimes I feel incredibly thankful that he still listens to my rant, but what gets my goat is I don't get a concrete response. I just get an I love you and sometimes pls stop and slow down. I am not getting the reply I want. It has come to such an extent that I feel all the romance is gone. What girl doesn't want to be surprised by a proposal? And yet it has come down to me having to badger him to tell me one way or the other so that I may make peace with it.
At this point, sometimes I don't see any other option than just breaking it up. I have mentioned to him that I will have to move on if nothing happens in any way on my 30th birthday. I feel the pressure of my age. I feel the pressure of not having had anything figured out and I feel the pressure of certain physical realities. I also feel the pressure of being 30 and not having one solid relationship other than my parents who are aging and may not be there one day. I have spent 3 days feeling sorry for myself. Yesterday I couldn't get out of the bed for half the day, thinking how horrible that I may have to just break up with him and that there didn't seem any other option. Today I have vented to him the entire day and he has been listening, didn't lose his temper much. But all I got out of him was an I love you. No plans, no talk of how he planned to get us to the altar by the end of this year as he claimed in January.
I feel like the world's most unlovable person that I have to give ultimatums and that communication seems to be only difficult for my relationships. I have fought hard for everything for the last 7 years or so and I feel so drained now. First it was the job, then it was getting my parents to acknowledge I am an adult, then the failed relationship that made me skeptical of everything and now waiting 3 years for the love of my life to formally commit.
On the flip side, I met a cabbie yesterday who offered brief respite from my self loathing. Our city is very expensive and living here is damn hard if your income isn't monthly 6 figures. And cabbies live on 4 figures. He complained about the rising prices and all the other challenges being a human being brings to you. But he had a simplistic, deal with it attitude and a grateful heart. For a few hours, after that, I was able to rein in my emotions. But this morning, I again lost it to the devil of fearful thinking.
Another achievement, I started covering the state legislature for our news channel and I am liking it. Also I tried 11 different eateries. So the 20 before 30 is on track.
What's not on track is my emotions about how my life is turning out. I feel I can't live as a single woman forever and if I have to I will be very bitter. I can't but help feel ridiculous when I hear of one more engagement. I know if I break up with him, the healing will take 6 months to a year and I may not be able to be in another happy relationship till then. But most of all, I feel the fairy tale of marriage and a blissful life is tearing apart right in front of my eyes and my hopeful heart can't bear it. I can't seem to bear that for some of us life may not be all peaches and roses and that the only solace to take is that it isn't worse than it is.
Sorry for a pessimistic rant.

5 companies transforming their customer experience with AI
How are five giants of the customer experience world using AI to stay one step ahead of the rapidly climbing curve?
'Come with me if you want to live.'
When it comes to customer experience, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer the stuff of dated science fiction. It is a matter of life and death for today's businesses. Adapt to survive or be left in the dust by industry disrupters and innovators of today.
So, how are five companies using AI to transform their customer experience? Reading on is essential to finding out. Doing so in the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger is not.
Google Duplex: 'What would I do without your smart mouth?'
The biggest takeaway from Google's I/O conference this year was their focus on AI and by far the most exciting announcement was Google Duplex. In the not-to-distant future, the Google Assistant will be able to make actual phone calls for the customer. At the conference, Google Assistant was shown making a dinner reservation over the phone, umming and ahhing like a real person. The realism is truly astonishing. The implications for what AI can accomplish in the future are mind-boggling or, as John Legend would say, head spinning.
In the not-to-distant future, the Google Assistant will be able to make actual phone calls for the customer.
In fact, Google Assistant will be using the singer's voice later this year. Consider the mind boggled.
KFC: 'Nobody here but us chickens'
Meanwhile, Baidu, commonly known as 'China's Google', has partnered with KFC to use an entirely automated facial recognition software to predict what a customer may order. The robot uses data like gender, facial expressions, and other visual features. Baidu says 'a male customer in his early 20s' would be offered 'a set meal of crispy chicken hamburger, roasted chicken wings and coke' and 'a female customer in her 50s' would be recommended a 'porridge and soybean milk for breakfast'. The robot also remembers individual customers and can make suggestions based on what they have ordered in the past.
Spotify: The playlist that gets you
Spotify as a service is built entirely on data but the music-streaming titan is using AI to take that one step further. Spotify's robot measures patterns in customers' listening habits to curate a playlist based on what it thinks each customer will like. It takes a few weeks to understand a customers' taste, but when it does they can look forward to their personalised 'Discover Weekly' playlist on their home screen every Monday. Personally, I cannot wait for the gentle magnificence of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Moana soundtrack on my Monday morning commute.
Erica: How did they think of the name?
Bank of America this year began to roll out their virtual assistant, Erica. Customers will be able to interact with the chatbot via voice or text. Erica will be able to help them with accessing balance information, transferring and sending money. This comes alongside the perhaps surprising news that Bank of America is planning to open 400 new branches within the next four years, showing that AI does not have to mean the loss of the human touch in the customer experience.
Domino's: Order a pizza with an emoji
'What deal can I get on my pizza today?'
It's a fair question. I myself have asked it at least three times this morning. Domino's Pizza officials say it was one of the most common questions customers used to ask on Facebook. Now, 'Dom,' Domino's Messenger robot, allows customers to order pizzas by setting up 'Easy Order'. Customers need only send Dom the word, 'pizza', or the pizza emoji and their favourite pizza is on its way.
'The future's not set'
So, what do these changes mean for customer experience practitioners? It shows that the best are looking past the hype of AI and integrating it seamlessly into a bleeding edge process for their customers. Peter Norvig, director of research at Google and former head of computational sciences at NASA, said that the customer doesn't really notice that AI plays a role. They simply see their results improving.
The best are looking past the hype of AI and integrating it seamlessly into a bleeding edge process for their customers.
Domino's saw their revenue and earnings estimates smashed in the first quarter of 2018. President and Chief Executive Officer J. Patrick Doyle cited the fact that the business is on a path to take orders digitally allowing its store-level teams to focus all their efforts on making great pizzas and giving great service to its customers.
The success is there to be had, and for businesses that fail to jump on board, it's, 'Hasta la vista, baby'.

Choosing the right kayak is much easier than you think.
Buying a kayak can be a bit daunting for someone who has never set foot in one of our stores or visited our website. Upon visitation, you are already facing dozens of kayaks of all makes, models, sizes, styles and materials. As you make your way in, it gets even more overwhelming turning mature adults into giddy kids as if they just walked into a candy store for the first time in their lives. In this issue's feature article, we'll focus on helping you narrow your choices down to a few select kayaks, getting you closer to making your final decision.
The two factors that will play the most important part of making your first kayak purchase are what you plan to do with it and where you plan to use it. What can complicate matters is when what you want to do with it and where you plan to use it is all over the board. To help you find the kayak that best aligns your wants, we've designed an infographic (scroll down) that identifies all the most popular kayak types we sell and how they compare with each other on page two of this publication. However, before you jump right in, here are a few things you'll want to educate yourself with first.
Sit In or On?
Determining this will narrow your choices down. Sit-inside kayaks are just as they are referred to with an enclosed cockpit where you sit inside instead of on top of the boat. A sit-on-top kayak is just the opposite where a paddler sits on top of the boat on what is typically referred to as a deck. Another major differentiator are the scupper holes on sit-on-top kayaks, which allow water to enter and exit the boat making them more versatile than sit-insides.
Both styles are popular for recreational use but sit-insides are typically used for whitewater paddling and touring while sit-on-tops are mainly used for fishing and diving. Sit-inside kayaks are typically known to be faster, easier to maneuver and tend to keep paddlers dryer than their counterparts. Sit-on-top kayaks on the other hand are usually more stable and offer more capacity, rigging options and accessible cargo areas. Don't be fooled though, these days, manufactures are making sit-on-top kayaks that are just as fast as some sit-insides and sit-insides just as stable as sit-on-tops.
Tandem or Single?
Choosing between a tandem and single sometimes involves outside influence — that is, a significant other or family members. Depending on the majority of use, we typically recommend singles for the simple reason that they give you the most flexibility regardless of your activities. However, for those with young children, tandems can be the ideal option especially when buying one that gives you the ability to move seats around for solo paddling. Another thing to keep in mind is that when weather and environmental conditions are ideal, kids as young as 5 or 6 years old can paddle kayaks on their own too!
Plastic or That Other Stuff?
Most kayaks today are made of plastic (polyethylene) while others are made of composite materials or thermoformed ABS. Rather than get into a scientific discussion regarding materials, we'll simplify it for you. Polyethylene is tough, can take quite a beating and is more affordable but tends to be heavier and more difficult to repair if punctured. Boats made of composite materials or thermoformed ABS tend to be lighter, prettier, and easier to repair but are typically more expensive and in some cases more delicate. It's a topic of debate but composites and thermoformed ABS are usually associated with having more "glide" on water thus making them an ideal choice for long distance paddlers and competition paddlers. What it really comes down to is weight and budget — for most, good 'ol plastic will be the select choice.
Rounded, V-Shape, Flat or Pontoon Hull?
Trying to explain hull design can get a bit complicated but we'll simplify it for you based on advantages:
- Rounded hulls – greater speed and maneuverability
- V-shaped hulls – greater speed and straight line paddling
- Flat hulls – greater stability
- Pontoon hulls – greatest stability
While talking about hulls, we'll also mention "rocker". Rocker is the tapering of each point on each end on the bottom of the kayak's hull if you were looking at it from the side. Kayaks with more rocker have a better turning point but may not track as well as those with less rocker. If you plan to paddle long distances in a straight line, you'll want to choose a kayak with less rocker while those who plan to play in whitewater or water with many obstructions will want more.
What Length and Width?
Probably the most commonly asked question is what length of kayak should I buy. While different activities and preference of paddling location (lake, river, etc.) can play a big role in size selection you can identify shorter boats as a tad bit slower but easier to maneuver while longer kayaks can be considered faster but a bit more difficult to maneuver. While longer kayaks do tend to track better than shorter boats, rudders can make a significant difference on any boat. In terms of width, wider typically means more stable but can also mean that your kayak may be a bit slower too.
To Rudder or Not?
We don't want to turn this into an accessory article but feel that this is worth mentioning. Rudders can make a difference in the performance of your boat. While many believe they are steering mechanisms, they are actually designed to help correct the direction of your kayak when dealing with strong currents or windy conditions. It's not necessary but we can guarantee that if you use a kayak with a rudder, you'll never want to go back to using one without it.
Try before You Buy?
Each one of our stores offers the opportunity for our customers to try a kayak before you buy one at anytime. For those of you out of state or too far from any one of our demo day locations, one of our experienced customer service representatives can offer some insight regarding how each kayak model operates and valuable advice on making your purchase.
Buying a kayak is an exciting experience for anyone and choosing the right one will only make the long-term experience even better. If you haven't already seen it, we also have a nifty kayak selector tool on our website — give it a whirl. Still don't know which kayak is the right one for you or have you already made a decision but have questions about accessories? Ask away below, I'll more than happy to assist you anyway I can!

Fresh autocompletes for Django
Project description
django-autocomplete-light's purpose is to enable autocompletes quickly and properly in a django project: it is the fruit of years of R&D. It was designed for Django so that every part overridable or reusable independently. It is stable, tested, documented and fully supported: it tries to be a good neighbour in Django ecosystem.
Features include:
- charfield, foreign key, many to many autocomplete widgets,
- generic foreign key, generic many to many autocomplete widgets,
- remote API backed-autocompletes,
- django template engine support for autocompletes, enabling you to include images etc …
- 100% overridable HTML, CSS, Python and Javascript: there is no variable hidden far down in the scope anywhere.
- add-another popup supported outside the admin too.
- keyboard is supported with enter, tab and arrows by default.
Each feature has a live example and is fully documented. It is also designed and documented so that you create your own awesome features too.
v2 branch is under active development.
You might want to use that instead, since it's much easier to work with and supports python3.
In this case, please refer to the v2 documentation.
To upgrade to v2, inherit from autocomplete_light.ModelForm and remove calls to get_widgets_dict. Optionnaly remove all old widget definitions.

Take a deep breath and don't panic my girl
There is little to control in this crazy old world
You think and you plan and envision all day
You make up scenarios where it does go your way
(What is your way?)
(What would you say?) What could truly ever make it your day? If you could even get it, what would it be
Would it be freedom, stability, kids or just we
Do you want a house, a pool, a dog and a cat
Or maybe a jet, a whiskey and designer brimmed hat
What really matters, money and cars
Or loved ones, liked ones and those far away stars
Is there a right and a wrong to your entire life
A definitive moment, pure man and wife
Do your actions always determine your end Or in your own story, can you be villain and friend Inherently evil, deliriously mad, endearingly simple, to the bone just plain bad
Are these all just faces, all feelings we show
What's the real outcome, what's the real low
Everybody can say it, anybody can think I should be writing my plan on the edge of this brink
(But what if I sink?)
(What if I blink?)
What if I yawn and my breath, it might stink?
So you dreamers go lie awake late at night
Try not to think, try not to fright
Life it is scary, life it is hard
It can also be wondrous if you play the right card
The deck it is big and so hard to predict There are times you're winning and times kid, you're licked
But try as you might to stay out of your mind Try your best to be honest, your best to be kind Know you will fail and that it's okay Just try to remember, start again the next day
Because sometimes you fall and sometimes you win That's the game of life and it wears you quite thin
It plays with your mind and tricks your own head Where maybe some days you won't leave your own bed
But keep on believing and doubting and breathing Because when it's all over, we are all still just leaving.

Hi NXP Team,
I am developing an application that is able to receive multiple bytes with variable length randomly through LPUART0. I modified the LPUART sample code as follows. Baud rate is 115200 with interrupt enabled.
void LPUART0_RxTx_IRQHandler (void) {
uint8_t recieve;
/* Clear interrupt flag */
LPUART0->STAT = LPUART0->STAT | 0x40000000;
while((LPUART0->STAT & LPUART_STAT_RDRF_MASK)>>LPUART_STAT_RDRF_SHIFT==0);
/* Wait for received buffer to be full */
recieve= LPUART0->DATA; /* Read received data*/
int main(void) {
/* Configure PTC2 and PTC3 as LPUART0 RX and TX */
PINS_DRV_Init(NUM_OF_CONFIGURED_PINS, g_pin_mux_InitConfigArr);
INT_SYS_SetPriority(LPUART0_RxTx_IRQn, 10U);
PCC->PCCn[PCC_LPUART0_INDEX] &= ~PCC_PCCn_CGC_MASK; /* Ensure clk disabled for config */
PCC->PCCn[PCC_LPUART0_INDEX] |= PCC_PCCn_PCS(0b001) /* Clock Src= 1 (SOSCDIV2_CLK) */
| PCC_PCCn_CGC_MASK; /* Enable clock for LPUART1 regs */
LPUART0->BAUD = 0x16000003;
LPUART0->CTRL=0x02C0000; /* Enable receive interrupt */
/* Wait for the receive interrupt to get triggered */
I found that the interrupt could be triggered but I couldn't receive the right number of bytes with such implementation. For example, if 6 bytes were sent, I could only receive 2 bytes. That means "LPUART0_RxTx_IRQHandler" triggered 2 times continuously.
The API code (LPUART_DRV_ReceiveDataBlocking) was able to receive all the data sent but it requires a fix buffer size as an input parameter. Also, as the timing of receiving the data is random, I could not simply call "LPUART_DRV_ReceiveDataBlocking" function in my program and I have to write another function with interrupt enabled.
Please advice on how to receive multiple bytes (register settings etc.) with LPUART0 interrupt enabled. For example,
void LPUART0_RxTx_IRQHandler (void) {
/* receive 1st byte */
first_byte = LPUART0->DATA;
if (first_byte == 1) {
/* receive the remaining 1 bytes */
} else if (first_byte == 2) {
/* receive the remaining 2 bytes */
Thank you.
Best regards,
Jing Yin


text: What's up with fresh hops?Typically, the fragrant, flowery cones that give beer its bitterness, flavor and aroma are dried for use in brewing. Brewers use fresh hops or "wet hops" to make a mellower, earthy beer. Fresh hops have to be used quickly and the resulting wet-hopped beer is generally a limited edition. This festival is your opportunity to check out the fresh hop creations of 27 breweries.

My name is Sunshine Monk (yes, my parents were hippies). I am in my late thirties, and have three sons: all through foster care/adoption. My two oldest sons are 28 and 26 years old. My youngest turned 12 in October 2014.
I am a Christian and try to continue and grow my devotion to God. I try to be the type of person that others can experience God working through me.
I lived in Florida for 25 years, but moved back to Maryland in June 2005 to be closer to all of my family. After 10 years, I decided to move "back home" and reside in Jacksonville, FL.
I use my BA in Business Administration to work as the Mental Wellness Programs Manager at a non-profit organization that serves the needs of our community's elderly people. It is very fulfilling work.
I am also awaiting to find out about my acceptance into FSU to continue my Masters in Social Work.
Some days are good, some days are not-so-good. ALL of them are transformational!

My ongoing investigations into online health communities brought me to Who is Sick?, a Google Maps mashup in beta that lets users post the seriously gory details of their symptoms so that they are incredibly findable. I learned a 29-year-old woman from Minneapolis picked up a stomach bug in Cancun within the last month, probably one of many – happy Spring Break!. The site brings back memories of Edward Tufte celebrating John Snow's map of the London cholera epidemic in one of his books (was it Visual Explanations?).
Posters can post anonymously or by name, can indicate symptoms, and can also tag them. Voyeurs can search by location and familiar GMaps navigation, or by a symptoms tag cloud (try that on for a visualization). You can subscribe to email alerts, and I'm just sure that feeds are coming.
Who is Sick? is a curious idea – potentially cool, but if there was ever a 2.0-ish community that was only as good as the data available, this is it. I can't remember feeling like posting my nasty symptoms last time I wasn't feeling up to snuff, but who knows. And will this really give me more insight into an outbreak than socializing with local friends and parents? Perhaps the payoff is larger… we'll be empowered to take on our local government by discovering our own polluted water supply, a la John Snow.
In my book, Who is Sick? just begs for RIA and interactivity… just think of the interactive and visual possibilities of navigating by symptoms and ailments.
