Funeral directors to host sleepout to raise funds and shine light on homelessness in Burton
A team of Burton Funeral Directors will be sleeping out in the cold to raise awareness and funds to help tackle the issue of homelessness in the town.
Central England Co-operative Funeralcare Senior Funeral Director Fiona Thompson and her team will be heading out from 8pm to 8am on Saturday, 17 November in support of Burton Hope.
The organisation was launched in August 2017 as part of an effort to bring together volunteers to help people in need from the homeless to the elderly.
It operates out of Burton Market Place every Saturday and Sunday and hands out over 100 food parcels every single week.
Fiona said: "Our link-up with Burton Hope came about after we were really struck by the rising levels of homelessness in and around the town.
"We then heard about the great work that Burton Hope was undertaking and decided that it was a good cause that we could support.
"So we have been to see what they do and also dropped off some food parcels, but we knew there was even more we could offer in terms of support.
"So we have organised a sleepout to raise awareness and funds for Burton Hope. Me and several of my colleagues will be spending the night sleeping in the yard at Wellings Funeral Home to experience what it is like to be homeless and at the same time shine a light on the work that Burton Hope do in and around Burton.
"Homelessness is a major issue in the town and we want to be part of something that is making a difference locally."
Fiona will be supported in the fundraising sleep-out by colleagues from Central England Co-op Funeral Homes across Burton and South Derbyshire including Funeral Directors Sam Platt, Kerry Marcer, Rachel Walsh and Ruth Johnson, Senior Funeral Administrator Kay Crispino, Senior Funeral Services Assistant Justine Parker and senior leaders Mike Taaffe, Jo Mills and Marc Palmer.
Burton Hope Chairman John Anderson said: "We at Burton Hope are very excited about the sleepout event being run by Fiona and her team from Central England Co-op.
"It will help raise awareness of homelessness endured by many in our town and it will also raise some much needed funds to keep our food bank and clothes bank in operation. "
Anyone who would like to support Fiona and her team and do so by calling 01283 563555.

To the Springdale Community, Student and staff health and safety is the number one concern of Springdale Public Schools. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson and Secretary of Education Johnny Key recommend school districts in counties without a presumptive case remain open in order to not disrupt community life, especially meal services for children and health services for all. The CDC guidance on COVID-19 is that short to medium duration school closings are not recommended. The major request is for good judgment be in place for hygiene for all students and staff along with social distancing. Springdale Public Schools will remain open.

EILEEN TABIOS Engages
AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY by Panagiotis A. Tsonis
(Dos Madres Press, Loveland, OH, 2016)
Sometimes, people ask how I choose which books to review for Galatea Resurrects. I usually—and honestly—reply that I don't assign myself books to review. I just try to read as widely as I can and those books that move me to write a review end up being the ones I review. That's that. But there are occasional exceptions to my approach. One way to become reviewed by me could be if my husband ends up laughing at the book cover. That's what happened with Panagiotis A. Tsonis' collection, AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Here's Tom with Tsonis' book cover (click on images to enlarge):
So what happened was I was moving around piles of Galatea's review copies (they're in the hundreds now!) and Tsonis' book cover caught my husband's eye. He asked, "Is that Agamemnon?" And then he laughed. Surprised, I asked, "Why are you laughing?" and then looked at the cover. I happen to think the cover is attractive and effective as book covers go.
Tom explained that the image on Tsonis' cover was a gold death mask discovered by German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Schliemann claimed the mask was Agamemnon's. At this, Tom laughed again. He said, "Isn't interesting that these folks discover something and they claim it's of some famous king? It could have been a lawyer's death mask, for all we know!"
The reference of lawyer, of course, is one of diminution—the opposite of elevation through, say, ascribing a royal background. Tom, by the way, is both an ancient Greek art scholar and a lawyer; the latter allows him to make lawyer jokes. And laugh we did at the consistency of "bigly" claims throughout history.
But the matter did make me take a second look at Tsonis' poetry collection. I wondered about the relationship of the mask to the poems inside the book. In addition, I was intrigued by the title AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY since one of my hobbies is to question the notion of autobiography (you can read about said hobby through my chap HERE). (Auto)biographies are based on what are reported (including self-reported) and, quite often and as with the controversy over whether the gold death mask was truly Agamemnon's, the reports falter before the truth.
Tsonis was born in Greece and so it's logical for his poetry to reflect his birth land's culture. But based on my read of his poem "A PHOTOGRAPH" (which begins "Bold eyes / Fixed / To eternity / Depicted on a / Golden mask / Of death"), the reference to or use of the mask is just a starting point, rather than the singular theme of the book. It is a starting point in that this is Tsonis' first poetry book—there are hints he was about 60 years old when he wrote the poems in this book—and, thus, he looks back at his life to make his poems. By looking back, as noted in the poem's ending:
…your eyes
Seem like seeds
Ready to transform gold
Into fiery beacons
To guide me home.
This could be to say, after traveling elsewhere (Japan and the United States), the poet shows that toward the end of his life he more treasures his homeland/home culture … or that he's found a home through the writing of poetry. I note the latter's possibility because the poems, themselves, are lovely accomplishments—in their own way, they are "gold" ("beacons") shining out their wisdom and beauty. Here's an example (click on images to enlarge),
I appreciate the colorist's eye and other aspects expanding the definition of "light" that occurs more than once in the book. But I also appreciate the wisdom—and, indeed, am relieved there is wisdom in this collection as it would be a bit of a shame if some wisdom didn't surface from having lived a life. For example, in "THE STORY OF LOVE," he notes (appropriately in my opinion)
The word Love
Is misunderstood
Because it's used
Like ingredients
In a churn.
But is only
One spice.
About love's constancy, he further notes:
Love is an angel
Without wings
Who doesn't fly away.
Lovely. But, ultimately, what elevates the book is the tour de force poem "AUTOBIOGRAPHY." Most of its lines begin with "I am" and here is its beginning:
"AUTOBIOGRAPHY" is personal and universal, is local and global, is specific and general—it is, in one word, indigenous. It is a long poem that takes up eight pages in the book, which leads me to suggest that it would be a great project as an illustrated chap. Here's another page-excerpt of its bounty:
I am glad Tsonis wrote these poems, for they make me care about his life. The poems warrant the epigraph with which the poet chose to end his collection—the words of Ted Kooser:
How important it must be
to someone
that I am alive, and walking,
and I have written
these poems.
This morning the sun stood
right at the end of the road
and waited for me.
The book cover's death mask is like life: paradoxical. The gold for treasure is appropriate. But what the poetry book created is not so much a death mask but a life mask. We can never know everything about the author based on what s/he wrote—but the mask, as presented by Tsonis' poems, reflects a beautiful mind.
Eileen Tabios does not let her books be reviewed by Galatea Resurrects because she's its editor (the exception would be books that focus on other poets as well). She is pleased, though, to point you elsewhere to recent reviews of her work: AMNESIA: Somebody's Memoir was recently reviewed by two Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewers: by Kevin Killian and by Grady Harp. She released three books and two chaps in 2016, and is scheduled to release at least that similar number in 2017. More info at http://eileenrtabios.com

IPC J-STD-001 – Requirements for Soldering Electrical and Electronic Assemblies
Manufacturing an electronic assembly right first time saves your company money and keeps your customers happy. The IPC J-STD-001 describes the materials, methods and verification criteria for producing high-quality, soldered, leaded and lead-free interconnections, and emphasises the process control needed to achieve these.
Because the J-STD-001 is a worldwide standard, working to that standard and having staff trained to the standard might be the only way to gain a manufacturing contract or to get your products certified for markets such as aerospace or medical applications.
Who should undertake IPC J-STD-001 Training?
This standard is aimed at anyone needing to understand whether a soldered joint is acceptable, such as:
- process engineers
- assembly operators
- quality and inspection staff
- anyone responsible for the quality and reliability of soldered assemblies
Some knowledge of the basic concepts and materials associated with hand soldering is required.
IPC J-STD-001 for trainers or staff
There are two levels of IPC J-STD-001 training.
To have your team able to apply the standard you need the Application Specialist (CIS) level.
To take responsibility for your own training at least one of your team must gain the Certified IPC Trainer (CIT) level to train and certify other staff. Any company with a large number of staff who will benefit from IPC J-STD-001 knowledge and certification may find it more beneficial to have a certified trainer to train and maintain its own employees.
The Electronics Group has Master IPC Trainers delivering CIS and CIT certification across all five practical and classroom-based IPC programmes.
IPC J-STD-001 course overview
The course describes the materials, methods and verification criteria for producing high quality soldered joints; it emphasises the importance of process control. The basic techniques of soldering are explained along with details on relevant factors such as flux, solder composition, soldering to terminals, through-hole, surface-mount devices and relevant inspection. Acceptance criteria are also fully covered. Importantly, this is not a beginner's soldering course and candidates must have hand soldering experience. The course includes practical elements including work on plated through hole components and surface mount devices to validate inspection to the IPC J-STD-001.
J-STD-001 covers three classes of quality assurance:
- Class 1
General electronic products – such as cameras, audio/video and domestic appliances. The lifetime of these products is limited, and a failure is not critical.
- Class 2
Dedicated service electronic products – such as printers, copiers, computers and general production equipment. The lifetime of the products is longer than class 1, the amount of usage is higher, and an uninterrupted service is desirable.
- Class 3
High reliability/critical products – such as military, aerospace and medical. Not only is the product lifetime extended but the products must function without interruption and downtime is not an acceptable option.
IPC J-STD-001 course duration and booking
Certified Trainer (CIT) course is 5 days
All modules are mandatory.
A copy of the IPC Standard and IPC's training materials are included for each student.
Certified Application Specialist (CIS) course is 4 days
All modules are covered within four days.
A copy of the IPC Standard is included for each student for the duration of the course.
Electronics Yorkshire Members are automatically upgraded to become full members of The Electronics Group and as a result, undertaking training at our Leeds centre receives a 10% discount on training costs.
IPC training programmes are intensive courses including examinations. Students should have the necessary standard of knowledge and experience to support their attendance on a course and to undertake the examination. If students have any concerns about qualification to attend any course they should contact The Electronics Group's training staff in advance for advice.

Monday 31st July
Following on from a busy weekend, today was primarily a cuttting day. Greens, aprons and tees were all cut with the cutting of the semi-rough beginning midday. Fairways were reverse cut, clockwise as oppose to anti-clockwise. By cutting against the grain, it helps to eradicate any 'bent grass' and also to prevent any nap from forming. Later in the day as the dew lifted, selected fairways were cut again, this time anti clockwise as normal, in order to remove any clumps of grass and also to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing look.
The holes were changed first thing this morning to less challenging pin positions from where they were for the club championship. Tee boxes were repaired, with markers moved. The copses between the 13th and 15th fairway was also strimmed.
Tuesday 1st August
After the greens were cut, they were double sarel rolled. This is part of our aeration program for this season; as a well aerated soil promotes strong, healthy growth. A sarel roller, used on a regular basis, breaks up any crust that tends to form in the soil surface and allows air, nutrient and especially water to penetrate down to the roots.
After the sarel rolling, a light top dressing was applied which was then double matted in with a drag mat. Holes were then nipped up. This whole process was complete by 10am.
The semi-rough cutting continued. Surrrounds were also cut as was around the green side bunkers to a height of 2 inches. Bunkers were raked.
Wednesday 2nd August
The greens were ironed this morning and thereafter any top dressing that had become dislodged was redistributed back in to sward. Holes were again nipped up this morning, or changed as necessary.
Tees and aprons were all cut, and semi-rough cutting continued. Bunker surrounds were also tidied, either being strimmed or flymo'd. Machine maintenance was also necessary today.
Thursday 3rd August
After the greens were cut, two sprays were applied to them; first a wetter to aid with absorption, and secondly a soil conditioner to help rid the greens of leather jackets. Holes were also changed. Fairways, surrounds and semi-rough were all cut. Bunkers were raked and fairway divoting continued.
Friday 4th August
As normal, Friday consisted of setting the course up for the weekend. This includes raking bunkers, repairing tee boxes on top of the usual cutting jobs; greens, aprons, tees and the completing of the semi-rough.

We invited our automotive experts to have four conversations on smart mobility and the design implications of the most significant trends impacting the automotive industry today.
Jump to your topic of interest: electrification, evolution of the cockpit, levels of autonomy or connected car.
Electrification of the powertrainPowertrain electrification is an exceptionally adaptive tool for reducing emissions in response to ever-increasing regulations worldwide. In this video, our electrification experts describe what it takes to design hybrid and electric vehicles, from smart battery management to efficient traction motor control, while also exploring ways to make internal combustion engines more efficient.
Additional resources:
Evolution of the cockpitThe increased integration and personalization of the automotive cockpit is enhancing the driving experience by making interior cabins more comfortable and convenient for drivers and passengers. In this video, our digital cockpit and body electronics experts discuss evolutions in display, audio, driver monitoring, gesturing and more – all making way for a better in-vehicle experience.
Levels of autonomyAutonomous vehicles are a hot topic, but what's really fueling the race to autonomy are advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Our ADAS experts discuss where the rubber meets reality, covering modalities including camera, radar, LIDAR and sensor fusion, and the vast amount of data that a vehicle must process.
Connected carThe connected car is more than just a car with cloud access. In this video, two of our connected car experts talk about the ways in which a car can connect, including access to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems; the design and data-management implications of connectivity; the debate between dedicated, short-range communication and 5G; and more ways that vehicle connectivity will change the way drivers and passengers connect to cars and the world around them.

Woman 'bleeds' to death after she checks into hotel with boyfriend
A woman died on Sunday after she started bleeding profusely at a guest house in south Kolkata's Chetla area where she had put up with her boyfriend, a senior police officer said.
The couple, in their early 20s, rented a room at the guest house through online booking and checked in on Saturday, he said.
The woman's health condition deteriorated in the afternoon when she started bleeding, following which her boyfriend took her to a nearby private hospital.
The hospital, however, refused admission. He then took her to a state-run medical establishment, where she was declared "brought dead", the officer said.
Police lodged a suo motu case and arrested the man as her death was due to "unknown reasons", and in his presence, the officer said.
The woman's body will be sent for post-mortem on Monday, he added.>

A second dolphin death has been reported on the First Coast in the span of 24 hours.
The 16th dead dolphin is about a 4-feet-long calf that was recovered last night by FWC along the banks of the St. Johns River near Mayport. So far, there are no signs of external trauma or human interference.
A necropsy will be completed in the upcoming days to determine what the dolphin died of.
A Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist said that so far this year, there have been 16 dead dolphin/whale deaths investigated by the FWC in Northeast Florida.
In an average year, there are about 30 deaths.
The 15th reported dolphin death was found near Bartram Island along St. Johns River. The dolphin was found tangled in blue netting used for crab hunting. It also looked like some type of watercraft struck the dolphin.

& so we have our #SatSunTails winner!
You can help by promoting next week's #SatSunTails on your blogs, twitter, G+, facebook, tumblr etc, that would be great. Also, if you're on twitter and you'd like an @reply every weekend in order to remind you that the competition is open then please leave a note regarding this along with your twitter handle in the comments of this post so I can set that up for you.
But for now, let's get to the winners!
The Written Prompt
electrical tinder
And yet again, a hard choice between such talented entries!
Runner Up Mentions
Andrew –
I felt there was an element of poetic flow to the writing of this short fiction and loved the descriptions that twirled the story together with such ease.
@horror_nerd –
Despite the punctuation error in the first sentence, I thought this was a great piece, especially with the twist of paranormal powers causing a boring life.
Overall Winner
@klingorengi –
Not what I was expecting but an excellent take on the prompts with some very strong imagery.
She'd prayed against all hope that the ability would pass her by. Yet, every woman for over twenty generations in her line had been given The Blessing and so she should bear it as the honor it was.
She'd first felt it pulling at her with the same sharp jolt as discharging electrical tinder and she knew the change had taken her. From that day forward, she was and would always be an Unmaker.
Within a week, she nearly went crazy from her total inability to control her power. Dishes continued to dissolve into silica sand, her clothes to tufts of cotton and her poor bicycle was now an untidy pile of assorted elements.
Reaching toward her reflection in the mirror, she wondered how she could appear so normal and yet be such an unmitigated freak. The vines twining from the frame as it reverted to its natural wooded form mocked her as they swayed.
Critique Mentions
Now, as promised, I shall critique those entries that didn't make it. Sometimes it can literally come down to the smallest things.
@solimond –
"All she had to do was touch it and her worries would be over. Tonya reached out to touch the smooth surface." Repetition. It really jerks you out of a story when you read repetition like this sometimes. Either pop a short sentence in between the other two so that it takes away the jarring or grab a different word so that it isn't too much by having 'touch' again. Perhaps 'brush' or 'caress' would have been better. Remember that you can give more description to the way she does it and the texture she feels with the verb you use.
@Lurchmunster –
I felt that this piece was a little stiff. Some of the dialogue just seemed a little too contrived and more as if the character was reading off a card than speaking their own mind, which impeded the flow of the text. There were also a couple of instances where the repetition of a particular word such as mirror or room in the following sentence jarred and thus added to the stiffness. Perhaps read the dialogue aloud next time and its believability will become more obvious and reduce the stiffness of the text.
So thank you to all of those who entered. The criticism is never meant to harm. It is there to help you better your writing and someday win overall. I'm sure it will also benefit those who were not criticised. I hope this has helped you as well as encouraged you to join in again next week!

I have been writing a column for the Patriot for quite some time, with the same purpose over the years, to inform the public about the local role that the WIB plays.
I have been writing a column for the Patriot for quite some time, with the same purpose over the years, to inform the public about the local role that the WIB plays. I am aware that not everyone is familiar with our work, so I thought that I would use today's column to provide some background.
The Cape and Islands Workforce Investment Board is one of over 600 Workforce Boards across the country. WIBs are established by federal law, but most operate as non-profit entities.
Every area of the nation is covered by a WIB. Not all Boards are organized or incorporated in the same way. Some states have one Board that provides services for the entire state. In Massachusetts we have 16 Workforce Boards, each providing services to over 250,000 residents.
The Cape and Islands Workforce Investment Board (C&I WIB) is a regional, private sector-led agency responsible for overseeing all publicly funded vocational education and training programs. The WIB is organized as a private non-profit 501 c (3) corporation, formed to carry out the mandates of the federal Workforce Investment Act of 1998.
The agency was established in 1982 as a Private Industry Council, with the Cape Cod area part of the New Bedford region. In 1992 the regions separated due to the Cape's increasing population and unique needs, and the local agency was then named the Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket Regional Employment Board. On July 1, 2000 the Workforce Investment Act was instituted and the current name of the organization was adopted.
The Cape and Islands WIB is led by a Board of Directors appointed by a Chief Elected Official (CEO), in our case County Commissioner Sheila Lyons.
The chief role of the WIB is to ensure that public sector investments in education and training match up with local private sector needs. To meet this role the WIB guides the formation of a regional workforce development system, serving as a major link between the region's economic development agencies, training providers, educational institutions, and employers. The WIB develops a blueprint (see our website www.ciwib.org) that analyzes the needs and gaps in the local labor market, the types of training that are needed, and the size and characteristics of the population to be served. In addition the WIB administers or oversees a number of federal and state programs including; the Career Opportunities Center in Hyannis (the federal one-stop career service center), the School-to-Careers program, the state Workforce Training Fund, programs administered by JTEC. Our programs are detailed on our website.
Who are the members of our Board? Well we have a mix of private sector and public sector leaders. By law, our Board must be comprised of more than 50 percent private sector members, and the Chairperson of our Board must be from the private sector. These two requirements ensure that the local WIB is aware of and working on issues important to the local business community.Here is a listing of our Board membership:
Chris Richards, Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank. WIB Role: ChairSally Bowles, Catania Hospitality. WIB Role: Vice Chair Bev Horan, INFOR. WIB Role: Clerk David Sampson, Sampson Consulting. WIB Role: Treasurer Sheila Lyons, Barnstable County Commissioner. WIB Role: CEO Denise Dever, Cape Cod Five. WIB Role: Past Chair The following are all members: Steve Colarusso, Pavilion Rehab & Skilled Nursing John Cox, Cape Cod Community College Donald Brown, Department of Transitional Assistance Kristina Dower, JTEC / Career Opportunities Bob Dutch, Upper Cape Technical Regional High School Jerry Fishbein, SEIU Melinda Gallant, South Cape Village Nancy Gardella, M.V. Chamber of Commerce Bruce Gecks, Teledyne Benthos Beth Griffin, Upper Cape Tech and WIB Youth Council Chair Paula Hersey, Penguin Digital Design Lee Hill, Edward Jones Investments Peter Karlson, NeuEon Barbara Kessler, TD Bank Matthew Lee, Tocci, Goss & Lee PC Brian Mannal, Attorney at Law Kevin McGinnis, IFAW Tim Melia, UFCW Ted Mello, Mass Rehabilitation Commission Paul Niedzwiecki, Cape Cod Commission Wendy Northcross, Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce Betty Pease, Elder Services of Cape Cod Jamie Regan, Century 21 Regan Realtors Paul Rumul, The Davenport Companies David Ryan, Cape Cod Healthcare Robert Sanborn, Cape Cod Regional Technical High School Sid Snow, Snow's Home & Garden Yvonne Tobey, Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Teri Whelan, Aflac Phyllis Whitney, ACCCESS / CCCC Hyannis David Willard, Cape Cod Five Cents Savings Bank William Zammer, Cape Cod Restaurants Inc.
As you can tell from this listing we have a Board that represents the regional mix of businesses, is geographically diverse and provides for input from important education and public sector institutions in the region.
I hope that this brief look at the WIB helps you to understand how we are organized. Throughout the coming year I will highlight programs and activities that the Cape and Islands WIB carries out in the region.

One day in May when Mom was up opening the house Maine for the season I got a call. "You need to go on the Internet immediately! I just passed a sign on the road to Dan's house that said pork and poultry!". Google came to the rescue and that is how I first discovered the lovely Heritage Hill Farm. I wrote an email to Leilani and told her that in the summer we live around the corner and that I was really excited to find someone doing this in our neighborhood. Finally on my last trip up to visit Mom in August we drove by on a sunny afternoon and pulled in the drive trying to avoid all the chickens who were wandering about pecking in grass and the flower beds. Lani was in the garden and she poked her head up and said 'Sorry, no eggs today'. I hopped out of the Jeep with my camera and wandered over to the vegetable plot on the rise of the hill. Behind the vegetables were some longhorn steer wondering who this woman with the crazy devil horn hairdo was.
I introduced myself and Lani came down and asked if I'd like to meet the pigs. Would I? OF COURSE! So we sauntered across the lawn past the lovely old barn to the sound of large puppy barking his fool head off and came to the edge of the pig enclosure. They had wandered out of the wallow area though the ubiquitous old New England stone wall to the other area.
Lani called " here pig pig pig" a few times while we chatted and Mom said "Oh, here they come." And sure enough a mini herd of sure footed fat pigs came barreling over thinking that we were there to dispense some lovely restaurant leftover scraps. Some of the local restaurants supply her with scraps from prep and being the discerning pigs they are, we laughed to find out that they were not as enamoured with the local inn's scraps because they were compacted a bit too much for their delicate taste buds. Finicky!
She told me that her husband was in charge of all things with tails and she took care of the chickens and the vegetable CSA, but she knew they were Berkshire and some Berkshire/Tamworth cross. While I was admiring the snouts that were being presented through the fence Mom turned around and noticed the incoming chicken invasion.
"We're being raided by the chickens". Lani said they were just mooches and were always there when she fed the pigs to see if there were any good offerings for them. Besides the egg layers, she had a movable, well movable with some brute force, enclosure for the hens she was raising to sell as roasters sometime around late Aug/early Sept. I asked her about the cattle on the rise as I wasn't sure they were longhorns since the horns weren't really well, long. Again she deferred to her husband, the nose and tail man and said they were a cross, but she couldn't recall what they were crossed with. I asked about the abattoir and how they would deal with the cattle. They will be field killed and then brought to my local favourite meat market Ballard's to be processed. I had no idea Ballard's did that so when I swung by Wednesday on my way back home I talked to them about it. It seems the business started out just to process the meat for local hunters and then grew into a meat market. One of these falls I am going to ask the them if they would let me intern for a week. I'd love to really work with a whole or half beast. I've always loved butchery and the staff at Ballard's are seriously the happiest working group of people I have ever met.
We stood and chatted awhile longer about her produce CSA and this seasons horrid weather and the tomato blight as her father in law strolled past to head to the barn. It seems the tractor is not playing nice in the sandbox that day and he was going to see if he could be the tractor whisperer and get it going. Before Mom and I left I asked her how long I had to decide whether I would buy a half pig. Lani said until they are gone! So I emailed her last night because Mom is heading up the first weekend in October to close the house for the season and she could swing by to pick up my pig for me. She's going to check with the butcher to see when pickup might be, fingers crossed I could be having some lovely happily raised Berkshire pork this winter. Oh and Lani...the sign worked!

Day 3's YoungStarters meet up was an incredibly productive session. The YoungStarters started the day by heading out into the city and asking people on the street to complete the sentence: "Vancouver shapes me by…"
After spending the morning talking to Vancouverites in the downtown core, everyone came back into the ArtStarts Lab to talk about their experiences over lunch. (We spend a lot of brainstorming time with food!)
With their brains full of ideas and great conversations and their bellies full of food, it was time to let all those great ideas unravel onto paper. The YoungStarters started sketching, bringing in ideas from the morning, their experience of visiting the site last week and the influence of the entire group's eclectic drawing aesthetic. Once their sketches were done, it was a surprisingly quick and very organic 15 minutes of excitedly cutting up their sketches and arranging them into a long composition.
They have also been meeting during the week to finalize the colour palette. Here is the very ambitious result of all their collaborative effort! Click on the image below to see a larger version of the plan.
We start painting this Saturday, August 24!

Next: Security Updates, Previous: Documentation, Up: Top [Contents][Index]
Program binaries, as produced by the GCC compilers for instance, are typically written in the ELF format, with a section containing debugging information. Debugging information is what allows the debugger, GDB, to map binary code to source code; it is required to debug a compiled program in good conditions.
The problem with debugging information is that is takes up a fair amount of disk space. For example, debugging information for the GNU C Library weighs in at more than 60 MiB. Thus, as a user, keeping all the debugging info of all the installed programs is usually not an option. Yet, space savings should not come at the cost of an impediment to debugging—especially in the GNU system, which should make it easier for users to exert their computing freedom (see GNU Distribution).
Thankfully, the GNU Binary Utilities (Binutils) and GDB provide a mechanism that allows users to get the best of both worlds: debugging information can be stripped from the binaries and stored in separate files. GDB is then able to load debugging information from those files, when they are available (see Separate Debug Files in Debugging with GDB).
The GNU distribution takes advantage of this by storing debugging
information in the
lib/debug sub-directory of a separate package
output unimaginatively called
debug (see Packages with Multiple Outputs). Users can choose to install the
debug output
of a package when they need it. For instance, the following command
installs the debugging information for the GNU C Library and for GNU
guix install glibc:debug guile:debug
GDB must then be told to look for debug files in the user's profile, by
setting the
debug-file-directory variable (consider setting it
from the ~/.gdbinit file, see Startup in Debugging with
(gdb) set debug-file-directory ~/.guix-profile/lib/debug
From there on, GDB will pick up debugging information from the .debug files under ~/.guix-profile/lib/debug.
In addition, you will most likely want GDB to be able to show the source
code being debugged. To do that, you will have to unpack the source
code of the package of interest (obtained with
guix build
--source, see Invoking guix build), and to point GDB to that source
directory using the
directory command (see
directory in Debugging with GDB).
debug output mechanism in Guix is implemented by the
gnu-build-system (see Build Systems). Currently, it is
opt-in—debugging information is available only for the packages
with definitions explicitly declaring a
debug output. This may be
changed to opt-out in the future if our build farm servers can handle
the load. To check whether a package has a
debug output, use
guix package --list-available (see Invoking guix package).

Kingston - Jamaica's Kaliese Spencer, the 2014 Commonwealth Games 400m hurdles champion, was on Tuesday cleared of an anti-doping rule violation by an independent disciplinary panel.
The decision means Spencer, who faced a four-year ban on charges that she refused or evaded a drug test on April 27, 2016 at her training base, can resume competing immediately.
"The independent anti-doping disciplinary panel is not persuaded to the standard of proof on the evidence presented that the athlete, Ms. Spencer, evaded a sample collection pursuant to article 2.3 of the 2015 Anti-Doping Rules," the written decision of the panel read.
"In the circumstances the athlete did not commit an anti-doping violation to article 2.3 and thus no sanction can be imposed by the The independent anti-doping disciplinary panel on said athlete, Miss Kaliese Spencer," the three member panel ruled.
The panel decided that the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO), who brought the charges, could not prove that 30-year-old Spencer had been properly notified under World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) rules that she was required for testing.
The decision means the 2009 world championship 4x400m relay silver medallist can compete in Jamaica's National Senior Championship (June 22-25), which will be used to select the Caribbean island's team for the August 4-13 worlds in London.
Spencer, who was represented by American Paul Greene, had denied the charges. The panel awarded Spencer costs.
"I'm elated for Kaliese. This has been a very trying three months for her," Greene told Reuters via telephone.
"In my opinion the case should have never been brought, the provisional suspension should have never have imposed because there was no evidence she did anything wrong and the decision vindicated her today, and proved to Jamaica that Kaliese is innocent and never did anything wrong," he added.
"I think it's absolutely ridiculous that they (JADCO) actually brought this case... and hopefully next time they'll think twice before bringing a case without evidence," he added.
