I found myself unable to sleep the other night. So, I got up and began researching one of my favorite topics, neighboring. I came across a paper from a workshop given by formation. Shortly before his death, Willard gave a presentation on loving your neighbor as yourself. As I read through his note“You can ‘afford’ to be compassionate only if you know there is abundant compassion for you, toward you, by persons who have appropriate means.”
These notes from Dallas Willard caused me to consider the intersection of neighboring with several other areas of research interest that I have, regarding developmental assets This has caused me to reflect upon this question, “How can we expect someone to act with compassion, if they have rarely knowingly received it themselves?”
It is an exciting time to be part of our Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia as so many people want to build resiliency in our children and youth. If we can intervene at key points in a child’s life, perhaps we will be able to help them become healthy adults who also care deeply about others. It’s time for us adults to get off the sidelines and demonstrate compassionate caring!


These two series were created for an invitational art exhibition at the Richmond Public Library in Richmond, VA, September 7 - October 30, 2018.
This is a work in two parts. The first series, Arrival, involves sandwiched layers of transparent ink on glass; backlit and photographed. The second series, Departure, takes the process a step further, where glass becomes a dominant compositional element.
Prints 10" x 10" in editions of 5.
For the exhibition, prints are matted and framed 17" x 17".

Openers – Matthew Hayden and Brendon McCullum
Middle-Order – Michael Hussey, Suresh Raina, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Suresh Raina is arguably one of the finest Indian left-handed batsmen. He was the first Indian to hold a century in all three formats of cricket. His temperament and contributions towards his team on the field is what defines him as the player he is.
Moving on, Captain and wicket-keeper-batsman, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is by far, one of the most influential captains and players of the game of cricket. His determination, perseverance and belief in his team set him apart. His decision-making skills in tense situations are surreal. As Ravi Shastri rightfully said after Dhoni’s six to end the World Cup Final and emerge victoriously, “Dhoni finishes off in style.”
All-rounders – Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur
Bottom-Order – Ravichandran Ashwin, Tim Southee, Harbhajan Singh, and Lakshmipathy Balaji
Lastly, Lakshmipathy Balaji is another such bowler who can make a difference. The amount of experience he holds, helps him pose a threat to the batting side.

http://raisedeyebrow.com/blog/2011/07/accessing-node-flagged-status-drupal-7-theme     I was recently working on a Drupal 7 project which required updating an Image style on a node based on whether or a flag was set or not.   The Requirements   The specific context was that the nodes were biography nodes and each biography had an image attached. The requirement was to give editors the ability to allow certain bio's to display a large or small version of an uploaded image.

http://raisedeyebrow.com/blog/2011/06/accessing-influence-twitter     A lovely Twitter interaction happened to one our beloved colleagues/clients last week that exemplifies one of the things that I find most interesting and powerful about using Twitter at this moment in time: the low barrier to entry in terms of connections with spheres of influence.   In this particular instance, one of the owners of  Lunapads.com , Suzanne Siemens ( @luna_gal ), posted this tweet:     Thu, 30 Jun 2011 18:20:33 +0000 Emira Mears 1164 at http://raisedeyebrow.com
Someone stole our Twitter name!
http://raisedeyebrow.com/blog/2010/08/someone-stole-our-twitter-name     One of our newer clients recently had the misfortune of discovering that their Twitter name was not available. The ideal short name for this non-profit seems to belong to someone in Somalia who posted two posts back in April of 2007 and otherwise lays dormant.

Rewrite a Views query
http://raisedeyebrow.com/blog/2010/04/rewrite-views-query     Recently, due to Views lack of ability to OR it's filters together and due to some serious constraints in relation to arguments and relationships, I found myself needing to figure out how to rewrite the SQL of a Drupal view so that I could get the records that I needed.   It seems like there are two ways to do this. You can either rewrite the SQL directly, or try to hack the query object that views provides.

And now republican will clear him of all charges. Impeachment, it is a Coup vote, their freedoms, their second amendm. Bigfoot Knowledge Poster.

We’re the first stop on the blog tour for The Hammerhead Chronicles!Award-winning author Scott Gould shares commentary on an excerpt (p. 79) in which Samuel, a math professor with a penchant for revenge, devises a plan to get back at a pair of racist booksellers. This humorous Southern novel launches in just one week, November 15, 2022!
I was never sure of the recipe for revenge. I was never sure I desired anything approaching revenge. You could say I’d had my dramatic moment when I ripped the pages out of those books; however, on the revenge meter, that probably didn’t move the needle. Oh, and I had served as the wheel man for an ashes theft, leaving a few new ruts in the gravel on the Dunean parking lot. Again, pretty benign. I knew it was not enough, would perhaps never be enough, and I was nagged by this frustrating, anxious (perhaps, obligatory?
SG: Aren’t there always neighborhoods like this surrounding a college or university, the older, craft-style houses that are kind of falling apart but kind of stylish and cool?
SG: There’s no such thing as 100% fiction, right?
But that night, the borders between those worlds erased themselves. I told myself I was out of ideas, out of energy, ready to let those twins have their snow-white shelves, when something walked loudly above my head as if to say, Have you considered us?
I decided broad daylight would be the best time to set my traps, even though the attic had no dormer windows and stayed nearly midnight-black ’round the clock. What did I know?
SG: Many years ago, during my I-wanna-be-a-poet days, I was in a class taught by the poet, James Dickey. A student wrote a poem that contained an image of a shark moving through water. Dickey asked us, “Is that how sharks swim?”We kind of mumbled and shook our heads and/or nodded. Then, Dickey bellowed out, “Well, it is now because she wrote it that way!”I thought of Dickey’s statement while I wrote this scene. This may not be the way rats truly react in a cage…
Another thought came to me. I was a full-grown man. I could look dangerous if I wanted to, and I wasn’t in a cage!
SG: There is a very non-literary, not-so-academic reason I used the phrase “rat resignation” here…
Samuel does, indeed, come up with a very specific, very sinister thing to do with the rats he captures. But I can’t tell you about it here…

Aside from Elric, I'm rather looking forward to the film adaptation of Silent Hill. If it's done well, it should have the potential to be truly scary in an 'old fashioned' way in a similar vein to the games which, may I add, terrified me! Also, Batman Begins sounds as though it has heaps of promise and will be most welcome after the abismal Batman Forever and Batman & Robin!
The remake of The Manchurian Candidate also looks promising. Three Academy Award Winners and a solid story. Hmmm?
Re: Future Films.

Scared the bejeezus out of me too! Ghost-babies always creep me out. I hadn't heard about a movie though. What confuses me about game adaptations is that most computer games these days are like films that you can control. I don't understand why anyone would want to see a version that they can't control, if they already have the interactive version at home.
That reminds me of a joke someone made around the time of the first Tomb Raider film, suggesting that it should just be two hours of her repeatedly failing to jump from one ledge to another and falling to her death.
The only film I can think of that I'd really be curious to watch (but can't) is Bandwagon, which is an independent feature starring Emma Caufield (Anya from Buffy). It's only being shown at festivals at the moment, so if anyone wants to make me green with envy they should check it out.
Someday someone will come up with a way for us to get paid for all of the word of mouth publicity we give to various books and films... but not today!
I loved the little things in Silent Hill like the 'Psychic TV', and the fact that the teachers names in the school were the members of Sonic Youth, but yep, that was one creepy game.
There's an Alien vs. Predator movie due.
The new Arthur film looks watchable, but i've only seen the clip.
It worries me though, when americans get their hands on good stuff it does tend to be rubbish, no offence to your average american.
Money = visual effects with no story. So America should provide the money and other nations create the film. An example of this being Lord of the Rings.
I won't argue with the sentiment, but I think you're being a little too harsh on some of those movies. Spiderman had a good story and good characters, and the first Batman had good characters and a great feel.
And you can't blame all of it on visual effects. The Italian Job (which I thought was pretty good) was done with little to no CGI. The best visual effect was Charlize Theron.
The thing I like about the Spiderman movies is that the parts where Spidey swings through the city look SO GOOD! I mean, that's a hard effect to achieve. He's basically falling through the air and then catches himself by shooting a web out to a far off building and carrying the swing forward towards the anchor point. Then Spidey must be pulled slightly in the other direction as he anchors himself with the other arm. And so on. Falling, swinging from side to side, catching himself, etc. Sometimes you can see the computer graphics at work, but even so - it's quite well done. Breathtaking for an old timer like myself to see a boyhood fantasy come to life that way.
Of course, it's unforgiveable that Dafoe was made to wear a mask in the first movie. Once upon a time he was my choice for the Joker, but that didn't happen. But anyway, what was Raimie thinking? You do not put a mask on Dafoe - that's throwing money and talent away. If anyone saw him in "Streets of Fire" (silly movie with an okay soundtrack) they'd know that he can pull off freaky "Joker-like" faces without the need of prosthetics or masks.
is the new Batman.
I don't like any of the Batman movies BTW.
cast for that one though.
Boudicca, all four of them.
Not Narnia, if only to see Tilda Swinton. Too twee and Harry-Potterish, but I may be surprised.
Nor Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, do me a favour, we saw that BBC zany sci-fi in the eighties. Now that's what I call a re-make. Too demurely establishmentudinarian.
I liked Reign of Fire too, for that matter. Despite obvious shortcomings.
Dark Knight? How about Michael Chiklis? He might not be tall enough, but then I think Shwartznegger - who I always thought of as huge - is only 5'6"-8" or something like that. One of my Exs at 6'1" towered over him somewhere when she met him.
Chiklis has all the anger and the self-righteousness I think.
Is that not a tad harsh? I do know where your coming from, but it's not always true. I thought the first two Batman films were excellent and, despite it's minor tweaks to plot lines, were true to the feel of the comics. I must stress that this does NOT apply to the other two Batman films - they were awful. Also, Spider-Man was remarkably true to the comics, and damn entertaining for it.


Monthly Archives: June 2009	28Jun2009	Visualizing synaptic tagging and capture	Posted in At the scale of cells and synapses, Cellular learning, Culture (in vitro), Dendrites, Genetics and molecular, Imaging, Methods and techniques	by neville	A set of two articles recently came out in Science that directly visualize two different (and likely complementary) approaches to synapse specific delivery of gene products. Plasticity at specific synapses (input specificity — we’re restricting the discussion to the dendrites of the post-synaptic neuron) requires proteins (eg. new AMPA receptors) to get to those post-synaptic compartments and membranes. But the intructions for these new proteins are contained in the nucleus with the rest of the genome. Clearly, new proteins synthesized in the soma can’t just be sent everywhere, since only specific inputs (eg. particular dendritic spines) need these new proteins. How does this happen? Hence, the postulated synaptic tag.

Configure the Network Level Authentication Setting for a Terminal Server
You can enhance terminal server security by providing user authentication earlier in the connection process when a client connects to a terminal server. This early user authentication method is referred to as Network Level Authentication.
Network Level Authentication is a new authentication method that completes user authentication before you establish a Remote Desktop connection and the logon screen appears. This is a more secure authentication method that can help protect the remote computer from malicious users and malicious software. The advantages of Network Level Authentication are:
It requires fewer remote computer resources initially. The remote computer uses a limited number of resources before authenticating the user, rather than starting a full Remote Desktop connection as in previous versions.
To use Network Level Authentication, you need to meet all of the following requirements:
On the client computer, be using at least Remote Desktop Connection 6.0.
On the client computer, be using an operating system, such as Windows Vista, that supports the Credential Security Support Provider (CredSSP) protocol.
On the terminal server, be using Windows Server 2008.
You can configure a terminal server to only support connections from clients running Network Level Authentication. The Network Level Authentication setting for a terminal server can be set in the following ways:
During the installation of the Terminal Server role service in Server Manager, on the Specify Authentication Method for Terminal Server page in the Add Roles Wizard.
On the Remote tab in the System Properties dialog box on a terminal server.
If the Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure) is not selected and is dimmed, the Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication Group Policy setting has been enabled and has been applied to the terminal server.
To configure the Network Level Authentication setting by using the Remote tab in the System Properties dialog box on a terminal server, see Change Remote Connection Settings.
On the General tab of the Properties dialog box for a connection in the Terminal Services Configuration tool by selecting the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication check box.
If the Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication check box is selected and is dimmed, the Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication Group Policy setting has been enabled and has been applied to the terminal server.
By applying the Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication Group Policy setting.
This Group Policy setting is located in Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Security and can be configured by using either the Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). Note that the Group Policy setting will take precedence over the setting configured in Terminal Services Configuration or on the Remote tab.
To determine whether a computer is running a version of Remote Desktop Connection that supports Network Level Authentication, start Remote Desktop Connection, click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box, and then click About. Look for the phrase "Network Level Authentication supported" in the About Remote Desktop Connection dialog box.
For more information about security and Terminal Services, see the Terminal Services page on the Windows Server 2008 TechCenter (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=48555).

Critics have primarily read "Once Upon a Time" as a continuation of the ideas to which Gordimer has remained steadfastly committed. Much of Gordimer’s writing in the late-1980s to 1990s sought to highlight how white South Africa could work toward a post-apartheid future. For Gordimer, literature is an instrument that can help a society rooted in hypocrisy transform into one that is just, fair, and tolerant.
Thematically, “Once Upon a Time” is very reminiscent of her novella“Something Out There” in which a mysterious beast wreaks havoc and confusion in the suburbs of Johannesburg. In a review of the novella, Salman Rushdie suggests that one of Gordimer’s overriding themes is that “White South Africans have no need of dream-ogres: it is reality that they fear, and the something out there is the future.” Critics have seen this theme as recurrent in many of her works, “Once Upon a Time” in particular because its characters' internal fears constitute a greater threat than any external force.


1. STEM career aspiration: Does students’ social identity matter?
Students’ social identity is considered to have profound effects on their learning and academic performance, but there was a lack of research on whether students’ social identity would also influence their aspirations to pursue STEM careers. This research studied the associations between the social identity of students and their aspirations to engage in STEM careers. Nearly 4,000 Hong Kong students from three key learning stages participated in a survey related to their STEM aspirations. Data analysisshowed that local and national identity were predictive of STEM career aspirations. Moreover, students’ sense of contribution to the nation and local society, as well as the perceived value of STEM professionals were mediators of the impact of their social identity on their STEM career aspirations. The implications provide insights for policymakers and educators to formulate appropriate curricula benefiting students’ social identity development as well as their STEM aspirations.

Along with the global trend of developing students’ 21st-century skills, teacher education must enable preservice teachers (PSTs) to improve students’ learning outcomchool practicum plays an essential role in the process. This study investigated Hong Kong PSTs’ ICT competency with or without teaching practicum completed and explored factors contributing to ICT competency in and beyond the practicum. This mixed-methods study began with a questionnaire to give a broad picture of the ICT competence of Hong Kong PSTs of English (N = 127), who were found to perceive themselves as competent with educational technology and their competencies of understanding ICT related policy and using ICT for professional development was enhanced after school practicum. A purposeful subset of the sample (N = 10) was interviewed based on their ICT competency scores, exploring the factors shaping interviewees’ readiness and ICT use in their teaching practicum. It highlights that digital native students do not naturally transform into teachers with ICT competency to facilitate 21st-century learning, and the practicum could play a more critical role in enhancing their ICT competence to future-proof their skills. Promoting ICT-friendly school culture and designing better teaching practicum programmes are suggestedThe issue of the “research-practice gap” has been a long-standing concern in the education community. To tackle this issue, there is a growing interest in research–practice partnerships (RPPs) to connect research with practice by providing solutions for improving practice in schools. Although studies have reported that constructive relationship would produce positive outcomes, establishing long-term and mutually beneficial RPPs requires further investigation. In Hong Kong, the Learning Study (LS) approach with Variation Theory derived from phenomenology as the theoretical framework for pedagogical design has been adopted as a RPP model and has sustained for two decades. Like many RPPs models, LS approach has been facing different challenges when teachers are increasingly held accountable for meeting new demands from education reform. In this respect, th the LS approach as a RPP model and its conditions of success. It reports a case study of how a group of English Language teachers adopting a LS approach while integrating education initiatives in their instructional design. The findings have identified trust building, teacher’s capacity building and visible outcomes as possible key factors of effective RPP model. This paper may shed light on the implementation of research–practice partnershipchanges regional contexts, with a special focus on the trends towards marketization in South Korea and Hong Kong. Thto understand the organizational responses to the marketization from the selected research sit case, the study applies cross-case synthesis to evaluate similarities and differences related to organizational changes and management practices at universities in these two contexts in Asia. The findings underscore two principal themes: market influences and trends towards marketization, and organizational and management changes on campuses. The findings suggest that both South Korea and Hong Kong represent excellent cases through which to explore organizational responses to the marketization of higher education institutions and to highlight the reshaping of higher education in Asia.

This study examined the perceptions of two groups of teachers, namely Secondary 3 and Secondary 6, regarding effective pedagogical practices in relation to curriculum reform. A total of 1,215 teachers from 91 secondary schools participated in the study. Collaborative inquiry, instructional strategy and catering for learner diversity were conceived as the three most effective pedagogical practices for implementation of the reforms while seven perceived student learning outcomes were also identified. Further multi-group analyses supported invariance between the two teacher groups in their perceptions of student learning when applying the three pedagogical practices in the classrooms. Results of path analyses revealed that Secondary 6 teachers viewed collaborative inquiry as having a significant effect on all aspects of student learning, but such impacts were not seen as very likely in the view of Secondary 3 teachers. On the contrary, Secondary 3 teachers conceived instructional strategy as the most effective way to enhance student learning. Catering for learner diversity had a positive association with various aspects of student learning in the view of both teacher groups. The study concludes with the implication for enhancing professional development of teachers. Copyright © 2021 National Institute of Education, Singapore.

**The Primal Blueprint Food Pyramid**
**_for _**
**General Guidelines:** 80% of body composition success is determined by diet. Limit processed carb intake (hence, insulin production), and obtain sufficient protein and fat to fuel and rebuild.
• Protein: Average .7 – 1 gram per pound of lean body mass/day - depending on activity levels (more at times is fine).
• Carbs: 50-100 grams/day (or less) = accelerated fat loss. 100-150 grams/day = effortless weight maintenance. Heavy exercisers can increase carb intake as needed to replace glycogen stores.
• Fat: Enjoy freely but sensibly for balance of caloric needs and high dietary satisfaction levels.
**Avoid Poisonous Things:**• E's (instead, increase omega-3 oils).
**Modern Adjustments:** Some modern foods that Grok didn't eat can still be included in a healthy diet
• Moderation: Certain high glycemic fruit, coffee, high-fat dairy products, starchy tuber vegetables, and wild rice.
• Supplements: Multivitamin/mineral formula, probiotics, omega-3 fish oil and protein powder.
• Herbs, spices and extracts: Offer many health benefits and enhance enjoyment of meals.
•For a quick primer, red plants (pomegranates, cherries, watermelon, etc.rs. Green fruit and vegetables (avocados, limes, green beans, zucchini, etc.) are high in carotenoids that have a powerful antiaging effect and are especially helpful for vision. Yellow and orange produce (bananas, papayas, carrots, butternut squash, pineapple) offer beta-carotene for immune support as well as bromelain, which has been shown to aid in digestion, joint health, and the reduction of inflammatory conditions. Cruciferous ("cross"-kale, arugula, turnips, bok choy, horseradish, and cauliflower, have demonstrated specific anticancer, antiaging, and antimicrobial properties. Nuts and seeds provide high levels of beneficial monounsaturated and omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E and selenium), and a host of essential nutrients (e.g., manganese, magnesium, zinc, iron, chromium, phosphorous, and folate).
Plant foods", or non-acidic) in your bloodstream. Almost all cells preferidic waste products. The buildup of acidic waste is toxic to your body, so it works very hard at all times to preserve a slightly alkaline environment, measured by the familiar "pH" levels. While we have evolved several highly refined buffering systems to balance our pH, ingesting acid-producing foods makes it that much more difficult to achieve pH homeostasis.
As you might guess, consuming heavily processed foods, sugars, grains, deep-fried foods, alcohol, caffeine, cigarettes, carbonated drinks, artificial sweeteners, and many recreational and prescription drugs promotes an acidic imbalance in the body, a precursor of many health problems and diseases. In contrast, by emphasizing alkaline-forming foods—vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds—in your diet, you optimize your acid/base balance and improve metabolism to burn fat, build muscle, and reduce your susceptibility to environmental and dietary toxins. While they have tremendous health benefits, meat and dairy products also happen to be acid-producing, making it essential to balance the intake of these foods with sufficient vegetables and fruits that support alkalinity.
### **Vegetables**
It is preferable to select locally grown, in-season, organic vegetables whenever possible. The shiny, buffed-up vegetables on display in our local supermarkets are typically cultivated in an objectionable manner—sprayed with pesticides, picked too early (and then artificially ripened by exposure to ethylene gas), jet-lagged from their distant origins (thumbs-down from a green perspective), and even genetically modified to grow bigger and more colorful, albeit at the cost of being less nutritious.
Iles, as we are so accustomed to reaching for packaged, high-carbohydrate snacks as a first option. Don'! Enjoy vegetables raw, steamed, baked, or grilled—even slathered in butter if you like. Cook or slice up extra portions for easy preparation or snacking the following day. Reject your attachment to cultural meal traditions centered on starches or grains and get wild and colorful with your meals! Have some steamed carrots and beets with your eggs for breakfast or kale, squash, and chicken for lunch. Try some of the many delicious vegetable-focused recipes at MarksDailyApple.com. Grab some stuff you've never tried before and ask your grocer about the best preparation methods.
While virtually all vegetables offer excellent nutritional value, some offer particularly high levels of antioxidants. One of the best objective resources to determine the antioxidant power of any vegetable, fruit, herb, or other food is treport. I like to aim for at least 10,000 ORAC units a day, which is easily obtained from a few servings of the top fruits and vegetables (the USDA recommends a much lower number, between 3,000 and 5,000 per day).
Here (in alphabetical order, not point value order; but don't worry—they're all gold medal winners) is a list of some of the highest antioxidant vegetables. Make a special effort to include these regularly in your meals:
" __ **"**
If, for reasons of budget or availability, you decide to eat nonorganic produce, note that there are varying levels of residue exposure risk depending on the item. Be particularly careful to avoid conventional sources of vens, including spinach and lettuce, are treated with some of the most potent pesticides) or a skin that is consumed (bell peppers are perhaps the most pesticidetainted vegetable; also avoid conventional celery, cucumbers, green beans, winter squash, and carrots).

In case of any questions or doubt please do not hesitate t contact us. </s> This is Part 3 of our Coffee Origin Trip to Central America, follow along on Instagram with #OrigenCA2015. For Part Two.
The upper drying patio. Exquisite.
We kick things off with a cupping of coffees from the Mendez farms. In addition to Talnamica there are coffees from El Guaje (also known as Natamaya) and San Jorge, also part of the Cafes OH (Ortiz Herrera) family of coffee farms. While the offerings aren’t numerous, they are focused and of great quality. Dana tells us that in the three years that the Mendez family has been working with them, this is their best year in terms of yield and crop quality. Dana confirms what we’ve seen at Talnamica, they’re delivering extremely high-quality cherries to the mill for processing.
As the sorting of natural process coffee begins, Dana holds up examples of segundos (seconds, on left) and primeros (first pickings, on right) that are sorted in the wet mill and separated into different lots.
Cupping coffees and determining which ones to buy is always a challenge. More so when the table is filled with top-quality coffees and you’re jockeying with your friends over coffees you agree are great. On more than one occasion, either Jeff, Jack or myself are bartering, trading or simply splitting lots. In some cases where the quantity is extremely small, there’s one a bag or two of coffee for each of us, but we leave pleased to have great coffee and happy to be working with our friends.
Later, as we tour around the mill, I’m struck by the cleanliness of the facility - especially the wet mill at this late point in the harvest. Cuatro M mills coffee for 19 different farms and has been running non-stop since early October when the lower altitude coffees start arriving. The mill will run continuously until March, for a total of six months, non-stop operation. Despite this, the place is beautifully clean. It’s later in the afternoon when I arrive at the wet mill and start poking around. It’s spotless. The facility is immaculate. At 5pm, mill operations will begin again when cherries start arriving from the farms and will continue until about 3am at the earliest (and sometimes run until 11am during peak harvest). Once the coffees have been processed, the mill will be cleaned and prepared for the next day - a task that will take the workers an additional three hours labor.
After being partially dried on the patio, the coffee is scooped up and placed into bins for transport to the guardiolas where they are dried for up to 72 hours.
Emilio is a fanatic. He wants to process the best coffees in the best way and is obsessive about cleanliness at the mill, and it shows. As we’re touring the lower drying patios, faint purple dots mark the patio, a remnant of the natural sun-dried coffees that were processed here the last few days. Dana tells us that after tonight’s run of natural sun-dried coffees are done, the patio will be pressure washed to bright white perfection once again. I don’t know about the rest of the group, but there’s something I find tremendously enjoyable

Q: Java class variables are updating inconsistently between classes In general, my goal is to draw lines defined by the user's cursor. To accomplish this, I am figuring out the calculations for those lines in one class, and then updating the class that paints the lines with those new values. Overall I want to access a list of line segments, a list of nodes, and the current abstract "node" that the cursor is located at. (Nodes and Line Segments are my own defined classes). The class in which the lines are drawn is called GraphicsPanel.
I set up access between the classes as follows:
    protected static ArrayList<LineSegment> lineList = new ArrayList<LineSegment>();
    protected static ArrayList<Node> nodeList = new ArrayList<Node>();
    protected static Node current = new Node();
    // Code for calculations and user interactions
        GraphicsPanel displayPanel = new GraphicsPanel();
        // Values are updated
        displayPanel.revalidate();
    private ArrayList<LineSegment> lineList = package.MainClass. lineList;
    private ArrayList<Node> nodeList = package.MainClass.nodeList;
    private Node current = package.MainClass.current;
       // Paint lines and other shapes
While the lineList and nodeList objects get correctly updated when a new LineSegment or Node is added to the list, the current Node is never updated and always shows the default of (0, 0).
As an example, within the main class, I have two mouse listeners, one for mouse clicks and one for mouse movement. They have similar functions, but the mouse click listener updates both the current Node and the lineList ArrayList of LineSegments.
displayPanel.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
        current = new Node(p.getX(), p.getY());
        lineList.add(new LineSegment(current, current);
        // Don't worry, the line segment gets updated (correctly) with a new end node as
        // the cursor moves around the window
When I click on the window to create lines, the lines show up as expected but the current Node remains at (0, 0). I am completely flabbergasted by this, since it seems like only one of the variables is updating, even though both are written to update in basically the same way: I modify the instance of the class variable in the main class, which should modify the instance of the variable in the GraphicsPanel class.
I appreciate any help with this conundrum and welcome suggestions for what's wrong, as well as better ways to approach this application.
A: You don't modify the instance, you create a new instance, replacing the old. This means that GraphicsPanel.current will keep pointing to the original instance, but MainClass.current will point to a new distance.
If you did something like instance.setY(p.getY()), it would modify the single original instance that both classes are pointing to.
A: Your MouseListener adds objects to the Main class list.
Then it assigns a different new object to the panel reference current. But that doesn't change the Main class refence!
You could just not have another current reference in the panel code. Simply directly assign to the current instance that belongs to the Main class!

R5519: THE IMPORTANCE OF DAILY SELF-SCRUTINY
IN THESE words the Apostle seems to be saying that if we as Christians should properly criticize ourselves, examine ourselves, correct ourselves, the Lord would not find it necessary to take us in hand and give us judgments, or criticism. But if we fail to do this judging, or criticizing, of ourselves, then it will be necessary for the Lord to do it; for He has taken us into His family, He has made us sons, and we are in the School of His Son, our great Elder Brother, to be trained and instructed. This is our Judgment Day.
We understand that it is the Lord's will respecting us that we should carefully scrutinize our thoughts, words and actions. If we find that we have injured another with our tongue or in any manner, we should go to that person, and to any to whom we have spoken, and make it right, make proper apologies, putting a penalty upon ourselves—a penalty that we shall not forget. If the penalty requires considerable humility, so much the better. If we neglect to punish ourselves, this would show that we are not in the proper condition; and the best thing the Lord could do for us would be to give us a severe chastisement. This might not come in the same day or week or month. But we may be sure that if we do not do right in the matter, we shall come to the place where the Lord will take us in hand. If He does so, He will give us some trying experiences. It may be that some one will do something unkind to us or say something evil about us, and the Lord may permit this. Or He may allow us to get into a position that would bring upon us some kind of punishment.
Every day we see a great many things in life that are displeasing to the Lord. We hear others use vile language or improper language. We see acts of cruelty or injustice. So we can be judging these things as we go through life and getting lessons out of them. This does not mean that we should judge the people who do these things and decide what punishment they should receive. We are neither authorized nor competent so to do. We are not to sit in judgment as to the condition of the heart, except along lines where the Word of God plainly states that we are to judge. Appearances are very often to be.
While we appreciate the truth of the Lord's words that a good tree will bring forth good fruit, and while we can see many times that there is something wrong in the conduct of certain ones, yet we are not able to judge of what would be the proper punishment for such conduct. We may know that the daily fruitage of a life indicates the condition of the heart, but we are not to pass sentence upon any. The Lord will make this decision. In the Master's words, "By their fruits ye shall know them," He gives us the thought that it is only in regard to that of which we have positive knowledge that we should render a decision in our own minds. We can know that the fruitage of a certain life proves that such a one is out of harmony with God. Yet we would have no right even then to pass sentence in the case. We cannot know what may have led to that unfavorable condition.
In regard to judging in our own case, no one should be so well able as ourselves to know our heart. But St. Paul shows us that we should use a certain amount of leniency in judging even ourselves. He says, "Yea, I judge not mine own self; … but He that judgeth me is the Lord." This is not a contradiction of the words of our text, but his thought seems to be that when we come to realize how high is God's standard, we might be inclined to judge ourselves too severely, not taking into account that we were shapen in iniquity. We might better think somewhat along this line: I realize that I have failed again today to live fully up to what I had hoped. I feel condemned before the bar of my own judgment because of it. But I hope the Lord will be able to make some allowance for me in this matter. I trust He can make some excuse for me that I do not see for myself. I am not sure how much allowance should be made; I am not able to judge myself accurately.
We should then go to our Father in earnest prayer, telling Him of our sorrow that we have not succeeded better in glorifying His name. We should plead the merits of the blood of our dear Redeemer, promising the Lord that we will strive to do better, if possible, by His assisting grace.

ith a monstera leaf image for his husband. Then came the March 2020 shutdowns and a renaissance for home-based hobbies, including sewing. As he fell further into quilting, Marchini was sharing his work with a limited audience on Instagram for a few years before trying his hand at TikTok. That’s when things exploded. He posted his first video in March 2022; within a month, he had more than 14,000 followers, his videos on the quilting process sometimes raking in hundreds of thousands of views. Now he specializes in modern quilting, an approach that emphasizes negative space and nontraditional shapes, with his bold designs—a skull with a crown, a giant poison apple—garnering fans, who buy his patterns online. Along the way, he’s helped build Portland’s reputation as a hub for next-gen quilters. “The Portland Modern Quilt Guild, I believe, is the largest section of the Modern Quilt Guild nationwide,” says Marchini. “It definitely ties back to the area and the maker mentality that Portland carries.” —As told to Fiona McCann
When everyone started sewing face masks, there was a huge shortage of fabric. And I think a lot of people took their sewing machines out of storage, dusted them off, and started sewing and kind of relearned that love of the craft. So now they’ve taken it to the next level. Maybe they started quilting or picked up sewing garments again. There has been a resurgence in sewing in general, but I think definitely in quilting. More people are coming out with modern quilt patterns, like what I do. So it’s not seen as some boring, old-lady craft like it used to be.
[Quilting] definitely takes patience. I have found that it’s not as difficult as a lot of people think it can be. Even some lifelong quilters tend to make it sound more difficult than it is. I don’t know if that’s them trying to gatekeep the hobby, keep it to themselves. But once you really start doing it and understand some of the very basic fundamentals of it, I find it becomes a lot easier for folks. And then also just not holding yourself to perfection—like, it’s OK that some of my points don’t match and that these pieces didn’t line up perfectly. It’s fine. When it’s all said and done, and you’ve got your finished piece—I don’t know if this is where the term came from, but it all comes out in the wash.
I want [my quilts] to be loved and used, whether it’s on your bed or your couch. I had a quilt growing up. And it was a crazy quilt, all random shapes and sizes, and not squares. And I loved it to shreds. Literally ... I remember laying it out and I would play match, finding two fabrics that were the same fabric. Those are my memories of that quilt. I don’t know who made it. I just remember it had a light green on the back. And there was one fabric that was red with little white anchors on it. That was my favorite to find all the pieces of. I want people to have memories like that of my quilts, like they remember something that really spoke to them about it, whether it was one of the fabrics, the shape, whatever. I’d rather that than give it to someone who thought it was so precious that they kept it in a chest or in a closet, because they didn’t want it to get ruined. Because then by the time they’ve moved on, they have no memory of this. They just knew it was sitting up on the shelf. And I don’t want that.

Report: LIRR, most commuter railroads lag on installing PTC

As many as two-thirds of all commuter railroads in the United States — including the Long Island Rail Road — are at risk of missing a December deadline to have lifesaving positive train control technology operational on their systems, discussed Thursday at a Senate committee hearing in Washington, where lawmakers criticized rail providers for dragging their feet in abiding by the federal mandate issued a decade ago — even after they were granted an extension from the original deadline in 2015.
“Here we are three years later, confronting the same thing that we confronted three years ago — that several railroads are not going to be ready. And it’s going to lead to more crashes,” saidWhen is enough enough?”
The GAO studied the progress made by 29 commuter railroads toward having PTC in place or at least reach compliance standards to be granted another two-year extension. According to the report, as many as 19 of the railroads are at risk of missing the Dec. 31 deadline.
Thas, the LIRR and Metro-North, which last week reported being about 62 percent of the way toward meeting the federal mandate with 10 months left.AO, said the MTA’s schedule “quite frankly . . . looks a little bit tight.”
“I know they have a pretty ambitious schedule, but things can happen, particularly as you start the testing phase,” Fleming said. “It doesn’t account for maybe some of the glitches that you can find, the bugs that you can find through testing.”
The Federal Railroad Administration could fine railroads as much as $25,000 per day if they are not in compliance by the deadline.
“We are working diligently every day to overcome these challenges,” Meyer said.
“I have repeatedly said that thn-dollar federal loan I supported, so there’s simply no reason to delay the implementation of Positive Train Control is-North fully install this lifesaving technology ASAP.”

Hauwa Yusuf, mother-in-law to Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina state, has been kidnapped, Daily Trust writes.
The 80-year-old Mrs Yusuf was reportedly abducted from her residence at Dandume crescent in Katsina layout of the metropolis.
It is understood that armed abductors who wore masks stormed the residence around 3am on Friday, took her away after beating some persons “thoroughly” and carting away telephones.
Already, sympathisers have besieged the residence lamenting and discussing the incident just as security personnel were spotted gathering information. She is the mother to Binta Masari, one of the three wives of the governor.
The high rate of crime in the north-west state has been a source of concern to the government and residents in recent time, with Masari saying even he wasn’t safe.
Te kidnap.

Adjusting the parameters of the software filters and hardware feedback control loops optimizes the jitter attenuation. The flexibility of this software-mediated process would be very difficult to achieve with purely analogue engineering. The numerical parts of JET technology run in the ARM processor, which maintains 96 binary bit accuracy. The result of all this is a PLL that allows elaborate tuning of its performance, which in turn minimizes jitter across the desired range of audio frequencies to a much greater degree than before.
Software-based level control:
The INT 202 employs a dithered digital attenuation technique whereby the level of the incoming digital audio signal is reduced by software signal processing algorithmsswitched resistor networks and especially ganged analogue potentiometers. First, it doesn’t age or wear out. Second, linearity and exact tracking between left and right channels are easier to maintain. Third, an all-digital implementation reduces the number of discrete parts required, thus reducing overall real estate.
By adding attenuation control to the playback chain, it’s possible to eliminate a preamplifier in many cases. DACs can often drive an amplifier directly, which reduces cost and complexity. This approach also has the potential to deliver superior performance. One of the fundamental catches in digital audio in general and software-based signal processing (here attenuation) in particular is that when representing or quantizing an analogue signal with a finite number of binary digits, the conversion is seldom perfectly accurate. Quantization errors during the original sampling by the A/D converter, subsequent processing and conversion back to analogue eventually show up as objectionable artifacts.
with the input, shaped and essentially parked (but not entirely disposed of) in unfashionable remote portions of the audio spectrum. There’s no magic bullet here because these errors can’t be made to truly disappear; however they can be put some place where they won’t bother us as much.
Weiss supplies twelve special .WAV files (one for each of the sampling rates and sample word lengths supported) that confirm bit-perfect transmission from source to INT 202. Selecting the bit-transparency mode mutes the INT 202 and special logic inside the INT 202 inspects the incoming bit stream. If all is well, the front panel indicator lamp keeps flashing.
This is more of a problem than one might at first imagine. All too often even the most experienced digital audiophiles will find that something is a little bit off during critical listening or measurement sessions. In one recent exchange on the forums, an audio engineer (not a hapless consumer) discovered that a test signal was about 1dB lower than expected. It took several days and help from several knowledgeable readers before everything was sorted out. Somewhere along the line, an operating system based audio equalizer (OS X in this case) had unintentionally kicked in to the playback chain.
At the root of such difficulties is the fact that both Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well as Apple OS X contain software
that incorporate signal processing, dithering, equalization and more which in turn result in non-bit-perfect digital output. Depending upon your application, these audio processors are actually very useful especially for home-theater and portable players. For audiophile scenarios however, they’re anathematic.
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, users can install the $49 J.River MediaCenter (JRMC) or similar software, select (WASAPI) as the preferred audio subsystem to bypass the Windows Media Player and other internal code and they’re done. Note that while JRMC contains various signal processing applications, once WASAPI is set, they’re disabled by default. Getting things correct in iTunes is a bit more complicated but it will eventually work as well.
: All that’s required to install the INT 202 to the media server is to connect the power and FireWire cables, then to install the FireWire drivers and device management control applets. These are supplied on a DVD that accompanies the unit. Driver updates and firmware revisions may be downloaded directly from the Weiss website. The software allows control over all settings and provides detailed status information displayed on various applet panels. Weiss’ recording industry heritage and the robust nature of FireWire are apparent in the range of available parameters and configurations. The current sample rate, bus mastership and other key settings should be inserted automatically as the media player software streams tracks to the unit.
After the driver installation, the J.River MediaCenter had no difficulty establishing the connection with the INT 202. Compared to death battles with previous FireWire drivers I’ve experienced using other products, this time everything went exactly as planned. After selecting WASAPI in JRMC, it was easy to demonstrate bit-perfect communication using the test files provided.
One applet panel monitors the performance and integration of the operating system drivers, the FireWire bus and the devices on it. Technically we’re checking the deferred procedure call latency (DPC), which is a key factor in determining real-world end-to-end throughput. It’s usually on the order of 500 microseconds or so, half a millisecond.
With the bit-perfect test files loaded onto the host media server or computer, one flips the TRSP CHECK toggle switch to its ‘on’ position, which immediately mutes the INT 202 once again without any annoying ticks. As soon as each of the 12 test files starts playing—there is one for 16-bit and 24-bit samples at each of the sampling rates supported—the power LED starts flashing and you’re ready to go. If not, one or more setting in JRMC must be corrected.
Chief culprits are likely to be that WASAPI was not selected correctly (DirectSound is the default); the wrong volume mode was set (select Application); or the JRMC DSP module is engaged, which may activate upsampling, apply equalization or otherwise corrupt the bit stream. The default DSP settings are set up to avoid any adulteration so if there’s a problem getting bit-perfect output, rest assured that it’s entirely your fault but will work once you correct it. With OS X, similar issues exist when using iTunes especially for higher-resolution file formats but once again, with a little care it is possible to get bit-perfect output. Just keep an eye on it. Once bit-perfect communication has been established, turn off the TRSP CHECK switch and start listening.


BEIRUT: What does it mean to be modern?Apparently it means writhing around, blind and half-naked, with your head in a coil of rope. Friday night marked the first of two performances of choreographer Stephanie Thiersch's "Corps Etrangers" (Strange Bodies) at Masrah al-Madina. The show. Starring dancers Fabien Almakiewicz and Valenti Rocamora i Tora, along with three acrobats, Mathieu Antajan, Tim Behren and Florian Patschovsky, the performance opened with a pertinent question projected on the stage's white backdrop: "What does it mean to be modern?"
This Beckett-esque scenario – the trapped dancer whirling away the minutes at the end of his rope like an insect in a jar – was deadly serious. At the same time it parodied some more-clichéd contemporary dance conventions, and the respect afforded to the "modern."


Invasive gets tossed around loosely to signify this weed is more important (i.e. more bad) than that weed, whether harm is proven or not. And then we get into the definition of "harm," which is the dividing line between plain old exotic weed and invasive weed. Who judges very minor or moderate harm?
Second, "invasive" can be applied rigorously as well. The California Invasive Plant Council's Inventory, while non-regulatory, assesses plants invading natural areas using a 13 question criteria developed by Joe DiTomaso of UCD and others (http://cal-ipc.org/paf/) - as Chris M. knows, since he serves on the Inventory Review Committee!
My intention was not to point out that these terms are vague, (they are loosely used, however!

AI-driven ransomware, federal privacy laws, supply chain protection, and more. Stay informed with the top enterprise SaaS data protection trends for 2022
It’s that time of the year again – of trends and resolutions. Here are our predictions for the top Enterprise SaaS Data Protection Trends of 2022 by the CloudAlly team including our founder and GM Avinoam Katz, VP Product Michal Zmiri-Yaniv, VP R&D Slava Gorelik, Director of Compliance Monty Sagal, Partner Director Murray Moceri, Director of Marketing Michael Schneider, and Head of Content and Product Marketing Teresa Gracias.
Data Protection Queries? Speak with our Director of Compliance, Monty Sagal
#1 Ransomware Will be a Menace, But We’ll Be Wiser
Ransomware has earned its rightful place as a top SaaS data protection trend. It will continue being the menace it is – evolving into more potent forms like Ransomware-as-a-service and supply chain attacks. We are already seeing highly targeted, well-planned supply chain attacks using multiple zero-days such as the REvil attack. The end purpose of ransomware has also become far more insidious than seeking crypto millions in ransom, to relying solely on far-reaching data exfiltration for extortion purposes. The World Economic Forum’s annual Global Risks Report 2022 cautions that ransomware attacks rose by 151% in 2021 and that “ransomware is one of their greatest concerns when it comes to cyber threats” (followed by social engineering).
However, ransomware’s widespread impact has alerted all the players – SaaS platforms, vendors, MSPs, and even the government. Ransomware will continue to trouble us, but cloud companies such as AWS, Azure, and Google will start providing tools and services to fight it. Native solutions are already emerging such as Microsoft 365 Ransomware protection in terms of Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.  The governments’ efforts and collaboration to regulate ransomware payments and take down organized ransomware will also continue and increase.
#2 Predictive Data Protection Will Be a Gamechanger
Cyber Data Protection will disseminate into every type of IT product – driven by state and hacker threats to business continuity.  The ability to predict anomalous behavior, highlight red flags, and mitigate the risks by blocking suspicious data manipulations until approved, will be a data protection gamechanger. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) will enhance behavior analytics and insights, bots will proactively monitor for downtime and faults. This will be a critical differentiator for organizations – it will be a factor influencing the adoption of cybersecurity solutions and a key SaaS data protection trend.
Similarly, as corporate storage usage continues to explode and storage managers try to keep up, more sophisticated means of classifying data will be needed and intelligent rules for backing it up. AI will be used to help identify which storage requires a higher frequency of backup. This is especially true as the trend of Generative IT (repurposing existing content to create new content) is expected to produce 10% of all content in the next 3 years as per Gartner. It will create a whole new category of data for businesses to manage and protect.
#3 AI and ML will Level-up Phishing and Social Engineering
Don’t expect your unfriendly, professional mal-organization to be far behind in the AI/ML game. Social engineering and phishing will get more sophisticated with AI and voice, video, and image deepfakes to gain unauthorized access. Recently, fraudsters used a deepfake of a C-level executive of a Dubai bank to con it out of $35 million. Organizations will stop relying on voice to authenticate and upgrade their employee training programs. Ransomware and malware will harness AI and ML to dynamically adapt to avoid detection. Adversarial AI, still in its nascency will gain ground to devastating consequences with every existing category of vulnerability in AI such as evasion, poisoning, and extraction having potential catastrophic outcomes.
#4 Data Privacy Will Be Increasingly Regulated
In 2021, 23 U.S. state legislatures enacted privacy bills. In addition, the Uniform Personal Data Protection Act was introduced by the Uniform Law Commission which will encourage other states to adopt it as a ready template. Last year in our data protection trends we predicted that Data privacy will emerge from the shadows of consumer rights groups to become central to organizational data privacy initiatives. This year it will go a step further by being enshrined, globally, in regulatory laws.
Multiple new state-level compliance requirements and enforcement actions will push the Federal government to finally get involved and pass privacy laws. Facebook and Google will fight hard against these laws, but due to the backlash against these companies, some of the data privacy laws will be made into law.
China has enacted the Personal Information Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China (“PIPL”), similar to the GDPR. In addition, China’s main economic hubs – Shanghai and Shenzen, implemented regulations that mandate how data controllers process personal information.
AdTech too will be closely regulated with pressure from watchdog organizations like the FTC of predatory and exclusionary practices by AdTech companies. Unfair data collection and surveillance practices leading to rampant privacy violations have come under the scanner and will be subject to stricter regulations.
GDPR, which was released in 2018, too will be likely updated with new privacy requirements.
#5 Cloud Supply Chain Protection Services Will Become the Norm
In 2021 it was supply chain attacks like SolarWinds and Kaseya, this year it was the Apache Log4j vulnerability. What’s becoming a worrisome trend is how widespread and all-encompassing attacks have become. While you may have the most robust cybersecurity plans in place, owing to the ubiquitousness and openness of the supply chain, you will remain vulnerable. Supply Chain protection services will become an increasingly popular SaaS data protection trend.
Certification or compliance procedures for supply chain products will become the norm as organizations are aware that even with a very secure environment, malware can be smuggled in via well-respected software packages or services.
Stolen or misused credentials were responsible for 61% of data breaches in 2021. This will drive organizations to aggressively move to password-less or device-based devices, as they are safer than using credentials or other identification protocols with them being the weakest link.
The shortage of cyber security professionals is estimated to be 72 million. To make up for this shortfall while grappling with the ominous threat landscape, “cloud protection services” will significantly increase. These services will protect against staffing shortages, operational faults such as exposing cloud storage and monitoring cloud users’ access and permissions.
Cyber insurance premiums will significantly increase due to the ransomware and supply chain attacks surge. Due to emerging
ransomware attacks and their volume, the WEF reported an increase of 180% in the average 2021 cyber insurance premium.
