MAC’s latest Viva Glam Campaign is in collaboration with actress Taraji P. Henson, and includes a new signature lipstick shade along with a matching lipglass. If you are not familiar with the Viva Glam campaignt’s a great cause, and MAC has since raised over 400 million dollars to date! There have been many collaborations with well known celebrities over the years, and I was truly excited about this launch. I am a fan of Taraji’s work–Empire fans, anyone? I truly think the shade in this latest launch is universally flattering and could work for just about everyone.

I love the sound of rain. I grew up on Salem, Oregon in the early 1970s. Rain was a part of my childhood soundscape. The steady drizzle of rain was my white-noise, the sound that was almost invisible but strangely comforting to me falling asleep on the upper bunk.
Today, in Guatemala the steady sound of the rain falling outside my office window is not as soothing as it once was. Just a few days ago, on the far side of the mountain a major landslide and several minor landslides destroyed a village, killing six people and damaging many homes and vehicles. On this side of the mountain the rain was hard and steady.
Alta Verapaz is no stranger to rain. However, across Guatemala, rain events are becoming harder and damaged caused by hard rain is becoming more frequent. Today there was another landslide in western Guatemala and news of flooding along the south coast.
Clearly there are several things going on here. It has been abnormally warm in Guatemala for this time of year. Warm air holds more moisture than cool air. So when it does rain there is simply a lot more water up in the sky due to the warmer temperatures. That’s one.
There’s another thing going on that makes landslides more frequent now than before. Forests are temperature fluctuation buffers. A forest moderates temperature spikes. If suddenly the sun comes out and it gets very hot above a cattle pasture or a corn field there is a spike in the ambient temperature. The energy of the sun hits the surface of the field and most of it bounces back doubling the heating effect. If the sun comes out and it gets very hot above a forest, the energy of the sun is captured by the forest and less of it bounces back. Thus the forest prevents a spike in the ambient temperature. Think of it as a buffer. In the 1970s, when forests covered the vast majority of the Verapaz, this amounted to a huge buffer. Old people in the region, especially in the mountain villages, say that when they were children they would never hear thunder. Today thunderstorms are common, even weekly.
In short, in a world of increasingly cataclysmic weather events, forests are our best friends. Forests moderate the climate. Forests catch water and help it soak in. Forests help recharge the ground water. Forest can help prevent landslides. As the haunting lyric of a 1960s Bob Dylan song reminds us, “It’s a hard rain that’s goin’ fall.” So let’s protect our forests.
“It is estimated that 5.4% — 6.9% of Haiti’s precipitation recharges groundwater; this recharge was much higher during the early 1900s when forested lands encompassed 60% of Haiti (Williams, 2011). While deforestation reduces the loss of water from transpiration, it increases surface runoff and soil loss, leading to reduced groundwater infiltration. Presently, forest cover accounts for only 1.5% of Haiti (Singh and Cohen, 2014). For comparison purposes, Döll and Fiedler (2008) estimated the Dominican Republic’s groundwater recharge to be in the range of 8.6% of annual precipitation. The Dominican Republic has forest cover of 40.8% for the period of 2000—2014.”*
The problem of deforestation has to be addressed. If not, landslides will continue to be more and more common. Recharge potential of springs will diminish, leaving springs with lower water output.

Recent landslides in Pantic, Tamahu
September 28, 2017September 29, 2017 by Rob Cahill Comment Closed
September 27, 10:00pm Pantic, Tamahu, Alta Verapaz.
A night of torrential rains caused major landslides in the small village of Pantic and surrounding areas at the foot of the Guaxac mountain, 3 people were killed, at least 8 are missing, and 200 people suffered property damage.
Guatemala has seen an uptick in torrential rains presumably due to global climate change. The weather has been unusually warm for late September in Alta Verapaz. Warm air holds more moisture than cool air. Thunderstorms were uncommon in late September in this region. Now they happen daily. The damage that these rains cause is exacerbated by the fact that the rain is falling on recently deforested slopes. Pantic is one example of many in the central highlands of Guatemala. The steep mountain sides above Pantic, Tamahu were only recently deforested. Today water rushes off the grassy slopes of the mountain. Not long ago the rains would have soaked into forest floor. Cloud forest is one of the most absorbent landcovers.* A cloud forest takes in water like a massive sponge. Take off the forest and replace it was cow pasture and you get more run off.
Protecting forests and forest fragments in the central highlands, not only means protecting nature, habitat, and wildlife. Protecting forests means protecting water and land resources. It means protecting homes and family precariously situated on steep mountainsides. Forests are a buffer against the threat of landslides.
In a world more and more prone to drastic weather events, we need to protect the forests.

Reforestation takes a big step toward
Thanks to the Bobolink Foundation, Virginia Society of Ornithology, KAKAO International and local schools, CCFC’s reforestation program took a major step forward in the late summer of 2017.
For CCFC, reforestation is much more than just planting trees. Reforestation means restoring forests on illegally deforested land. Reforestation is restoring degraded habitat with native tree species.
ITERN, the Institute of Natural Resources in San Juan Chamelco, which is CCFC’s local partner, held several tree planting days.
Reforested areas include cloud forest and pine oak tree communities.  These restoration parcels quickly become usable habitat for endemic and migratory birds, such as Ocellated Quail, Golden-cheeked Warbler, Golden-winged Warbler and other species of special conservation concern.
Primary school children help out with tree planting as a part of CCFC’s Kids & Birds program.

DE—hope it will revive the suffering corn crop. The fields that don’t have mechanical irrigation did not fare well in the week of high 90s and low 100s we just had.
We’ve been getting dribs and drabs of rain, but nothing serious. The corn in the farmer’s fields around our property is starting to look a bit peaked.
There is supposed to be some rain here next weekend. We’re praying.
Anyone who thinks this attack is going to be “limited” is a fool.
Yep. Let them, and their families, go straight to the front lines of this mess.
There is NO compromise between right and wrong. The bottom line is, an attack of any sort, “compromise” or not, is likely an attack against the side OTHER than the one that used Chemical WMDs in a political way to install another MB regime, in place of the one lost in Egypt. It will be the Al-Qaida air force, driven by US pilots.
Putin can make a HUGE propaganda victory by a limited defense of Syria, both at home and abroad.

I want to share with you something I whipped up these past couple of days. Use the add division tool in linear mode (try increasing only U or V) to add transversal (I would call it”slices”) divisions, but no longitudinal ones. Leaves do not interact with each others and will offen interpenetrate. The Leaves panel allows you to duplicate a leaf mesh along the generated branches. When crossing another branch, the generating branch should climb over it. However, I brought it a bit further to make it shareable. They have also needed some cleaning and reworking of the geometry.

ACMS is Amazon Campus Mentorship Series for women in Tech. Amazon visits a few colleges to select a few students for this program by conducting an online exam.
Selection process: Amazon conducted a test to shortlist the students for the mentorship program. The test had around 23 MCQ’s and 2 coding questions. MCQ’s were quite simple. They covered Programming languages, DBMS, and few topics of OS.
The coding questions were simple too. One was the Coin Change problem (Minimum number of coins). I don’t remember the other one but it was quite simple too.
The results were declared exactly after 15 days of the test.
Mentorship Program – Sessions: After Amazon shortlisted few students for mentorship, we had various sessions on Object-Oriented Principles, Amazon Leadership Principles, Data Structures and Algorithms, Databases, etc. There were 4 sessions one every month(almost) from February. After the first session, we were divided into a team of 5 and were assigned a mentor.
We were informed about the interviews in our last sessions and were asked to prepare all the CS topics. After our final session, we had a mock interview with our mentor where our mentor wanted to give explanations to us how interviews are done at Amazon. The mock interview was quite helpful to prepare for the original interviews.
Mentorship Program – Team division and project: The team division was random. We had a call almost every 2 weeks with our mentor, and we were working on a project decided by our mentor. The main aim of the project was to check if we’re a team player and the technologies we know etc. Since it was the COVID season, the only first session was offline at the campus in Hyderabad. All the other sessions including the meetings with mentors were virtual.
We were given a month to complete the project. So the work division and the presentations were done accordingly. This gave us an experience of how projects are done at Amazon. The entire project was divided into 5 parts which were database designing, backend connectivity, 2 separate features, and front end. I worked on the front end of the project.
Later in the last week, we were asked individually to integrate the project and were asked questions on the integration of the project in the mock interview.
Mock Interview: Since the interviewer was my mentor itself, he directly started asking me a coding question and asked me to optimise as much as possible. The question was a basic problem on arrays:
Given an array arr[] of n integers, construct a Product Array prod[] (of the same size) such that prod[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of arr[] except arr[i].
He then asked me not to use the division operator and asked me to modify as much as possible. After that, he asked me to add a feature to the project we did and asked me to code for the feature and make necessary changes. This was just for him to get an idea about us since the sessions weren’t offline, they had to conduct a mock interview individually to check our performance.
Interview Round 1: The interviewer asked me a question on strings. The question was quite simple.
Given a string s with opening and closing brackets (parentheses), the number of parentheses to be removed to make it a valid string.
I was asked to print the valid strings. I was asked to optimise as much as possible but since it was a timed interview for 1 hour, I couldn’t code the entire thing.
The interviewer started by asking me about myself and my ACMS experience and then he started asking coding questions. The question was similar to the Two Sum problems from leetcode.
The questions were simple and straight forward. If you’re stuck anywhere make sure to ask the interviewer for hints. They will surely help you out.


I would like to have a workflow where I could make my F9 key open up a shell in a split pane, and then have the same key effectively do a C-x 0 on it. That way I could split, run a command, do some stuff, and go back to the file I was editing.
My attempt at this has some problems:

(global-set-key (kbd "<f9>") 'split-shell-toggle)
In particular, I need to modify the function to check if the pane is visible, and then close the pane if it is. Right now I get this kind of thing:
It keeps splitting again and again. How can I check if the pane is already open, and close it if it is?
I would recommend creating a new function called my-custom-eshell-function by modifying the function eshell -- it is only a few lines long, and the key ingredient you will be modifying is (pop-to-buffer-same-window buf). And, here is your keyboard shourtcut: (global-set-key [f9] 'my-custom-eshell-function). To find the source code of the function, you can use M-x find-function RET eshell RET Instead of pop-to-buffer-same-window, you can use something better from the window.el library or create your own display-buffer function. – lawlist May 11 '15 at 22:06
What do you want below the *eshell* buffer? A *scratch* buffer perhaps? – lawlist May 12 '15 at 2:48

@TuDo that is exactly what I'm looking for, want to make that an answer? – tlehman May 12 '15 at 17:48

Describe your book, “obs,” in a few sentences.
This book was inspired by a Freelancer I hired from Upwork a few years back, I think when it was called something else. He was doing some marketing for my first kindle book and he suggested that many people would pay for some of the pointers I was giving him. This was finished a while back, but I did not publish it and now I had to update it, so it can finally be published.
How much time should someone interested in freelancing do research and prepare?
How much time does it take to get established in a career as a freelancer?
That the book will only work if you work. Work hard until you figure out how to work smart.

the new Republican Governor, I took urgent action to cut taxes for my wealthy campaign contributors, create a budget crisis, and weaken my state’s economy. In the face of this self imposed disaster, I cut collective bargaining rights under the guise of cutting spending even though this move had no financial impact.
Those union contracts were tying us in knots and the same is true in your state. But the instant I acted…
The Labor Unions scrambled an unprecedented response.
How do you know what’s going on in my state? Are you really saying that you’re familiar with the budgets and contracts of all 50 states? Next thing you know, he’ll be running for President on an “F the Unions” platform. He acted all right, acted to get rid of union representation. Now here he is painting himself the defiant victim:
They spit out the “insult” that I’m, but I take it as a compliment. They are threatening me with the label that I’m their #1 TARGET and my knees are supposed to buckle, my palms are supposed to sweat and I’m supposed to cave into their strong-arm tactics, but…
Clearly he is developing some sweaty palms. Based on the fact that he’s reaching out to out of state Republicans to help him raise millions to fight off the recall. Obviously, we’re not expecting his knees to buckle or that he cave to pressure, this clearly hasn’t worked, we’re expecting him to be recalled for not heeding the voice of the people.
If this was all Scotty was doing, he could’ve easily done this without provoking the shit storm he’s brought upon himself by going after collective bargaining rights. In fact, the unions agreed to Walker’s financial demands, but he wanted to push it that much farther.
But thousands of Big Labor protestoState Capitol like angry wasps.
This is just another naked and unfounded assertion. Sorry Scotty, those were Wisconsinites out there freezing their butts off last February. But then, how would you know, you never spoke with them.
Their behavior was, at times, somewhat dubious. You likely saw or read the national news accounts of their demonstrations. Many of their signs were profane and obscene. Some were very aggressive and they vowed revenge on me.
Dubious behavior? Oh, like the time you made up that thing about the zillions in damage to the capitol building? Or that time you floated the idea of planting troublemakers in the crowd?
And then he lays out the victim card again, poor Scotty, hurt by the pwotestuh’s pwetty little signs. You bet they were profane, you were threatening their livelihoods and their families. Of course they were aggressive and vowed revenge, if someone threatened your family, you wouldn’t vow revenge? And now, that day is coming, it’s June 5, mark your calendar.
In the face of hate-filled personal threats, I came to work every single day, did my job, made the tough calls and tried
In the face of a massive revolt by the working class of Wisconsin, I came to work every single day (except the weekends and holidays for which these peons and their unions struggled), did a job on the workers of my state, made the tough calls to my corporate backers to ensure they really wanted me to do this despite the obvious ramifications (which I’m writing you today to seek your help in overcoming) and tried to make government work for the benefit of the GOP and its corporate sponsors.
But the Big Labor bosses see a fight that they aren’t willing to lose. They view the upcoming recall election as the primer for the national elections this fall.
And they don’t play by the same rules you and I do.
You’re darn tootin’! We absolutely mean business, no kidding, and we don’t play by the same rules that you do. We don’t play by the rules of the 1% and we don’t play by the rules of “election irregularities“.
Now in the face of bare-knuckle union attacks and a galling failure of President Obama’s leadership, it’s imperative that you and I buckle down, confront the coming political onslaught head-on, and raise the funds needed to stand our ground and take on the status quo.
u’ll honor me with a “Friends of Scott Walker” c
“Bare-knuckle” attacks? Like the one you laid on all those unionized workers’ collective bargaining rights? “Obama’s failure of leadership”? Oh for goodness sakes, take responsibility for your own failures man. When you do your level best to sink the state’s economy by laying off 21,325 people, own up to it. Yeah, you sure as hell need to raise money, but money isn’t going to save you from the wrath of voters.
When I saw the Big Union-sponsored mercenaries descend on our State Capitol from parts unknown, I knew what we were experiencing in Wisconsin was not an isolated case:
It was just a taste of what the rest of the nation would soon be forced to endure. Because if the Big Union Bosses could make their rampage of intimidation work in my state…
They’ll make it work in yours.
Mr. Walker will soon find out that these were ordinary Wisconsinites on the streets when he reads the returns and weeps, but for now, he’s resorting to scary language to make people think that there is some sort of paramilitary presence invading Wisconsin in order to do the clearly undemocratic, vicious, and utterly uncalled for thing, and vote him out of office. This army, led by monstrous renegade union bosses on a rampage of pure carnage and destruction, will soon be marching on your state to overthrow your righteously elected and divinely anointed leaders! This will not stand!
I inherited a state that was suffering from a never-ending loop of fast spending, high taxing, and deep borrowing (sound familiar?). While the everyday citizens were experiencing great pain, the wild-eyed liberals were spending like there was no tomorrow.
He inherited a state that was just fine until he passed his tax cuts that blew a hole in the budget. This sounds very familiar: Democrats fix the budget, get everything on track and Republicans come in a screw it all up and cause a fiscal crisis. Now we need a Democrat to come in and clean up after the Republican fuck-ups again (sound familiar?). Liberals are “wild-eyed” because we want to fully fund education and make sure everyone in our states is cared for? That’s the most perverse definition of crazy I’ve ever heard. “Oh, and by the way,” Walker wants to remind me, “we’re all in this together…we’re all the same, bro!”
The Liberal Democrats love the Status Quo and they saw no reason to change their ways. The Big Unions had the Democrats in their hip pocket and they refuse to reform the way government works even though our state was heading toward fiscal disaster.
Wow, is this a load of bull. So “Liberal Democrats” want to maintain the status quo? Is that why liberals have always pushed for change? It was liberals who brought you Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the 40 hour work week, the weekend, paid holidays,gay marriage (okay, still working on this one), and pretty much any other advance in equality and justice you can think of. Do you even understand the meaning of “status quo”? Perhaps unions and Democrats are aligned because they see things the same way, just like the reason that Corporate Welfare Queens and the Republican party are aligned. And again, the only reason Wisconsin was heading for a “fiscal dis

Derksen's 2010 debut album “The Cusp” was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award, and won the 2011 Canadian Aboriginal Music Award for Instrumental Album of the Year. She was honoured with funding from First Tracks, to make POW WOW WOW, an APTN Music Video, released in early 2012.
Cris has recently finished recording the "Orchestral Powwow Project", to be released in the summer of 2015. Originally conceived by Derksen and Robert Todd of the Tribal Spirit Powwow label, the project responds to a perceived need to truly incorporate Aboriginal artists in art that claims Aboriginal credit. After an exploration with Robert of ideas around what defines Orchestral Powwow, Cris spent a year composing and transcribing using Tribal Spirit’s library of powwow albums. Players on the recording, and upcoming live performances, comprise Cris on cello, the 11-piece Chippewa Travelers powwow group, Jennifer Kriesberg on vocals, and a 9-piece symphonic ensemble.
Cris' recent composer credits include 8th Fire (4-part television mini-series – CBC - 2012); TransMigration (Kahawi Dance, 2012); People of a Feather (feature film - Joel Heath and the Community of Sanikiluaq - 2011)
Cris has toured nationally and internationally as a solo artist and performing her own compositions with Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq. She has performed internationally at: Women in (e)motion (Germany), Future En Seine (France), WOMEX (Spain), SXSW (Texas), Riddu Riddu (Norway), Respect Festival, Colors of Ostrava (Czech Republic), Barroquisimo (Mexico), MADE festival (Sweden).
Nationally, Derksen has performed at: Vancouver Island Music Fest, Regina Folk Festival, Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards, Frostbite Festival, Salmon Arm Roots and Blues, Harrison Music Festival, Rifflandia, Dawson City Music Festival, Edmonton Folk Music Festival, Calgary Folk Music Festival, Vancouver Folk Music Festival, JunoFest, the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards and the 2010 Cultural Olympiad.
Cris Derksen originally comes from Northern Alberta. There is a line of chiefs from North Tall Cree reserve on her father's side and a line of strong Mennonite homesteaders on her mother’s side.
Cris obtained a Bachelor of Music in Cello Performance at the University of British Columbia and shared the title of Principal Cellist with the UBC Symphony Orchestra. In 2009 she was recognized by the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network as one of its rising stars and The Georgia Straight’s “Who to Watch”. She was also Curator in Residence at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre.


ERRI SACKVILLE I found this little flier which just might be helpful. If in the midst of depression you can manage just one or 2 of these things a day, then you can feel like a winner.
For those of us lucky enough NOT to suffer from depression then this list might look ridiculous, but I would say to the nonsufferer scoffers, 'Think how far down the hole would YOU be, if any of these activities seemed as impossible as a size 22 woman trying to shoe horn herself into a size 4 pair of skinny jeans.'
I really hope that this little list up on the fridge can give hope to our friends who are in that dark place.
If I thought it would help I would build a kissing booth and stick the tongue in, but I fear that would just add to the tension.
Chris K, I am very very sorry for your loss this week. xx
Oh Shit ...I am a NIMBY
There's been a lot of scuttle about the village lately about a new development just across the road.
I always thought I embrace change. I enjoy new things and find making a new way pretty exciting. This might explain why I have lived in more than a dozen houses in the last 15 years. Moving house is of course a pain in the arse, but it's also exiting and an excellent excuse to chuck out all manner of shit - yeh I am not a natural hoarder.
But the news about some rather shit sounding development across the road fills me with dread, and not just cos it'll be noisey and messy for a very fucking long time, but because I don't want to live across from hundreds of people instead of just 8 households. I really bloody don't.
Actual information about the prospective market for the 89 or is it 105 flats or flatettes is very hard to come by. The developers just want to gather permissions from Council and then I guess we will find out the whos and the whens and the whys.
The plans are for 105 flats over 3 floors. The average size of the flats is 50square metres. They are either 1 bedroom or studios and there are 5, 2 bed flats. There are 2 lifts and there is underground parking for 110 cars. There is a communal kitchen and a pool and a gym room and what seems to be a movie room.
A development Board went up today and I have just 3 weeks to put in an objection, if in deed I do object. I just can't decide how much of a NIMBY ( Not in My Back Yard) I wanna be.
So my question to you is this...Who do you reckon is gonna move in? I have stopped wondering about who is gonna BUY 'em, cos I reckon almost certainly they are gonna be rented out.
Would you wanna live across the skinny suburban road from 100s of people who were not there when you bought your home?
Go on - tell me I am being a dick and to mind my own business - I can take it.

Breeze Airways just took delivery of its first Airbus A220-300 jet, five months after the airline launched.
The A220-300 can fly 3,450 nautical miles, opening up transcontinental flights and potential European service.
New premium seats will be found onboard with in-seat power also available for all passengers.
One of America's newest airlines is celebrating its five-month anniversary with a brand-new plane.
Breeze Airways took delivery of its first Airbus A220-300 on Tuesday as part of an 80-aircraft order that will bring the airline to new heights and expand its reach well beyond the US. Built in Airbus' Mobile, Alabama facility, the A220 in Breeze's configuration boasts features including mood lighting, in-flight WiFi, in-seat power with 110v AC outlets and USB charging ports at every seat, and the largest cabin in its aircraft class.
The Canadian jet type offers Breeze the perfect mix of economics and performance capabilities that will power a low-cost, long-haul route structure. A published range of 3,450 nautical miles for the larger A220 variant gives Breeze full reign over the Lower 48, with the ability to fly non-stop between any two cities between America's coasts, and then some.
A transatlantic expansion is also in the works as Breeze is looking at secondary cities across the Northeast as potential stepping stones for flights to Europe. Destinations in South America may also be served from the Southeast and Hawaii from the West Coast thanks to the new aircraft's impressive capabilities, while the Embraer E190/E195 fleet that launched Breeze in May will stick to North America.
Airbus' smallest jet is intended to serve the 100-150-seat aircraft market and the larger Dash 300 variant can actually seat up to 160. Breeze showed off a low-density configuration during the delivery ceremony with just 126 seats across two cabins: a premium class and an economy class.
In that configuration, a total of 36 premium seats in the airline's version of business class will stretch 13 rows, all the way back to the center of the aircraft.
Two rows will offer 10 extra-legroom seats featuring 33 inches of pitch and 18.8 inches of width. They'll be available complimentary for those booking "nicer" fares that will also include a complimentary carry-on and checked bag, priority boarding, and a complimentary drink and snack.
Breeze, however, can add and reduce the number of seats in a given class of service based on demand. Neeleman is also hinting at offering lie-flat seats on the aircraft that would provide more comfort on long-haul flights.
The A220 offers a 2-3 seatinga variety of choices when selecting a seat. A downside, however, is that it also offers middle seats, meaning passengers have more of a reason to pre-purchase seat assignments.
Onboard WiFi will enable internet browsing and also streaming entertainment including movies and television shows.
Pilots flying the Airbus A220 can expect a lifestyle similar to those at more established airlines. Instead of flying "out and back" in a single day, the A220 will fly lengthier routes and trips that will often require overnight stays, as the airline told Insider in April.
Breeze customers won't be flying on the plane until the second quarter of 2022, once more aircraft have been delivered. Now begins the long process towards certifying the aircraft to fly passengers, as well as training crew to fly, service, and maintain the airline's new flagship.

"School starts Monday morning nice and early, a lot of people are unaware (of that)," said Sheriff John Rutherford. "When you go out Monday morning and the children are at the bus stops, you're going to see a lot of police cars, ambulances and emergency management people with lights on."
"Special emphasis is being placed on the Elk Community because they need it," Carper said. "There'll be deputy sheriffs here to see to it that your children are safe. The school house should be the safest house around, and I'm confident that's exactly the way it'll be here."
"We have signs posted, we'll have the deputies positioned at the entrances and exits during the busy periods, we have a deputy assigned all day long along with the principals doing their job," he explained. "It's a challenge, but as we always do in Kanawha County we'll meet the challenge and try to make it as safe as possible."
"Just a word of advice: this is no place to show up and try to cause any trouble for the whole school year," he cautioned. "I don't think the sheriff's department will put up with it, and I know the principals won't."

HRH Queen Elizabeth II ended her 1959 Cross-Canada tour in Halifax/Dartmouth. Photographer Allen Benjamin noted in a letter to the Municipal Archives that as he was documenting the Royal Visit it was obvious that the Queen was pregnant with her third child (Prince Andrew), but that no public mention was made until she returned home to make the official announcement.
Halifax Municipal Archives has several more photographs of the 1959 Royal Visit from the Dartmouth Clerk's Office and the Halifax Police Department files.
Dartmouth Police Reserve Badge Donated
An interesting footnote to the Royal Visit photograph is that after the Municipal Archives contacted photographer Allen Benjamin for permission to use this photograph, he sent us the Dartmouth Police Reserve badge he had been issued after the VE Day Riots in 1945.
Dartmouth businessmen were enlisted to protect their property with the approach of Victory in Japan. Benjamin tells the story of how they turned back rioters closing in on the Dartmouth liquor store. The Chronicle Herald reported on this interesting story in the June 21, 2010 issue ("Dartmouth’s force grew after VE-Day riots").
First Female Rural Councillor, 1938

Mary Theresa King, the first female municipal councillor in rural Canada, was elected in 1938. Miss King represented District 27 on County Council until retiring in 1950, then reoffered to serve again in the 1950s and 1960s. In this photograph, Miss King is pictured front and center among her fellow County councillors on the steps of the County Court House on Spring Garden Road, where County Council met, late 1930s.

In 1899, the district of Preston elected the first African Nova Scotian to public office, Councillor Thomas Johnson, who continued to serve until Diggs replaced him in 1908.*
George Diggs was the second longest-serving councillor in the Preston area, next to Allan W. Evans (1931-1961), and followed closely by Wayne F. Adams (1979-1994), who went on to become the first African Nova Scotian member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.
In the City of Halifax, the first African Nova Scotian alderman was Graham Downey, elected in Ward 3 in 1974.
The Municipal Archives holds many County Council photographs. Unfortunately, we have not yet discovered a photograph of Thomas Johnson, first African Nova Scotian County Councillor.

Mic Mac Rotary, 1960s-1990s
Atlantic Air Survey aerial photo showing Mic Mac Rotary, 1970s. HMA 101-80C-1-4-H-56
The Mic Mac Rotary was built by the Province of Nova Scotia in the early 1960s to provide a more efficient interchange for Highway 111, Route 318 (Braemar Drive/Waverley Road), and Trunk 7 (Main Street/Prince Albert Road/Graham’s Grove).
The Rotary soon became infamous for its poor traffic flow, causing commuters much frustration and rush-hour rage. The traffic woes of the Rotary were immortalized by local musical duo Bryson-Lysens in their song "Mic Mac Rotary Blues" (Solar Records, 1982). The Mic Mac Rotary also inspired a Scottish country dance! The Rotary was replaced by the "Parclo" partial cloverleaf in the early 1990s.
This Atlantic Air Survey photo from the mid-1970s looks west down Lake Banook towards Halifax Harbour. The Rotary was named after Lake Micmac (bottom right in the image), which was partially in-filled to accommodate it.
The "Mic Mac Rotary Blues" was featured in Halifax Magazine's "50 Things You Don’t Know About Halifax," which the Halifax Municipal Archives helped source (August 2013 issue).
These are some of the more than 1,000 slides that the Municipal Archives processed in 2010 from images taken by Tourism Halifax to promote the City from 1970-1996. The series also includes photographs of special places like the Common, Brewery Market, Visitor Information Centres, and special events such as Mardi Gras, Natal Day, and Buskersfest. These images document how much has changed in Halifax even in the last decades.

Halifax Loves to Skate Outdoors!
Skating outside Historic Properties, 1980s. HMA 102-106-1-8 (Wamboldt-Waterfield Photography Studio)
Outdoor skating has been a favourite pastime in Halifax for many years, dating back to the late 1800s when the Starr Manufacturing Company began producing some of Canada’s first skates in Dartmouth. Municipalities have organized community skating events at the Frog Pond, Lake Banook, Chocolate Lake, and Bedford's Mayor’s Skate at Paper Mill Lake. The City of Halifax even had a small skating area at Historic Properties!
These photographs form part of a large collection of Recreation Department photographs (series 102-106-1) documenting recreation activities and facilities throughout Halifax.

Pam Collins photographs - Bollard House
Pam Collins (1928-2017) was a founding member of the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia and the wife of heritage activist, historian, educator, and writer Louis William Collins. With her husband, Collins was heavily involved in Halifax and Nova Scotia heritage communities, advocating for the preservation of heritage buildings in Halifax’s downtown and waterfront.
The Collins’ were a dynamic team; Pam photographed and organized the thousands of slides that Lou used in the many lectures he gave to visitors, schools, and groups. In 2017, the Municipal Archives received and processed over 4,000 of Pam’s slides and prints, which document significant architectural features and buildings in HRM as they were in the 1960s to 1980s. They are also an important addition to the Lou Collins fonds which Pam donated to the Municipal Archives in 2010.
Collins’ images provide a record of changes to Halifax's built environment, and help preserve small details of the City as she knew it. The main subjects of the photographs are homes and buildings in downtown Halifax, churches, views from Citadel Hill, the waterfront and coastal areas, demolitions or restorations of Halifax buildings, the restoration and opening of Historic Properties, and events and tours attended by herself and Lou. There is also a series of images of locations outside of HRM, as the Collins’ interest in history was far-reaching. Explore listings of Pam Collins’ photographs (CR30K) in our online database.

These images capture Bollard House on the corner of Dresden Row and Sackville Street before and after its restorations in 1964 and 1973. Bollard House, a designated heritage property at the base of Citadel Hill, is believed to have been built in the 1840s. The uniquely shaped house--described as both "triangular" and five sided--was noted as the subject of curiosity and rumour by Lou Collins in his 1975 book In Halifax Town. In the 1960s, the aging house was occupied by the Bollard sisters, whose shipbuilder father had purchased it in the early 1900s. The "spinster sisters" remained there into old age in the 1960s, as the building fell into disrepair. By 1973, Bollard House had been purchased and restored by a local antiques dealer. As of 2013, the home was reported to be undergoing maintenance under a new owner.

I initially wrote this show of as just some lame idea for Iron Man. Boy was I wrong, Iron Man Armored adventures is a spin on Iron Man that I have absolutely falling in love with. Tony is a high school student when he creates the Iron Man armor instead of a grown up. He is also accompanied by Rhoddy aka War Machine and Pepper. This show is way better than I thought, I mean Tony as a kid? Who would of thought this was a good idea? This is a show that I recommend to anyone who loves cartoon comic adaptations.

VIDEO - Sweating it out with latest craze for fitness freaks
It’s been seven of the longest minutes of my life. Behind me, trainer Andy Worswick is counting down the final seconds, 15...10...five.
My arms are screaming but I’m almost at the end of my final set and I use the last bit of energy I can muster to push myself up off the floor and back to a standing position.
Andy runs Nik through a few of the training routines
“Time,” calls Andy and I can feel my body slacken with relief. Six rotations, I did it. My face is red and my limbs feel like lead weights. A gruelling workout in just seven minutes. This is Crossfit.
The fitness craze started life in America and has since spread to still relatively unknown in South Yorkshire.
I’m at a Crossfit gym in Sheffield, known as ‘The Box,’ which opened just two Crossfit method isn’t fancy, it involves simply using your own body, and its motto – no machines, no mirrors, no egos – says it all.
“The whole point of Crossfit is performing functional moves, that you need for everyday life – constantly varied at high intensity which produces amazing results,” says Andy as he shows me around The Box.
It’s minimalist to say the least and Andy nods when I point this out.
“A lot of people walk in the first session and they expect to see TVs and cross trainers and, they’re like, where are the machines?
“We use some very expensive Olympic lifting equipment, but the main machine in here is your body.
“Everybody from an Olympic athlete to your grandmother should be able to do Crossfit because it’s all about the same kinds of moves, but at different levels.”
Andy, aged 34, has worked in fitness for more than 15 years, in various gyms and health clubs, as a personal trainer and spin instructor, but he says – with Crossfit – he’s finally found his calling.
“After my first seven-minute workout, which left me in pieces, I knew I’d found what I’d been looking for,” he reveals.
“You come to The Box for an hour and you’re going to get expert coaching, you’re going to be pushed and encouraged, we’ll bring out your competitive side and you’re going to leave feeling spent, but fantastic.”
The Crossfit programme was created by US Coach Greg Glassman in 2000 and, today, is practised at more than 6,100 gyms around the world. A session usually begins with a warm-up, followed by some strength conditioning and ends with the Workout of the Day – referred to by those in the know as a WOD.
“This is a circuit that can involve anything from a run, followed by sets of kettlebell swings, squats, burpees, sit-ups and pull-ups,” Andy explains.
“But you never know and that keeps you on your toes.”
My seven-minute taster session with Andy involved seven kettlebell swings, seven burpees and seven sit-ups – as many rotations as possible in seven minutes.
Andy adds: “Your body is the greatest tool you have in your journey towards fitness. We’re all about performance over aesthetics, so we don’t want people walking in saying ‘I want a beach body,’ we want them to say ‘I want to be able to run faster and push harder,’ The beach body is usually the pleasant side effect.”
And word is spreading fast. After just eight weeks in the city, The CrossFit ‘box,’ on Hoyland Road Industrial Estate, has already attracted a loyal crowd of followers.
Policeman Chris Priest came to try it out and says, two months in, he is an addict. “But there are definitely worse things I could be addicted to,” laughs the 29-year-old, of Rotherham.
“When I started, I could barely do three pull-ups, now I’m doing 20. I can run faster, my general fitness has overhauled - and in such a short space of time.
“Crossfit prepares you for life, it’s fantastic, and never boring. I urge the people of Sheffield to try it immediately.”

I have always wanted a little biz.
Later, I got very busy at my full time job, all I wanted to do was taking a rest when home. No time for hobby. Not time for my little biz.
You might think that all you need is managing your time after work and on weekends, but I've found that, more importantly, you need to manage your energy. Having sufficient energy is what keeps you going, and inspiration flowing.
I've learned that: things change. Constantly change. And what was not available might be in any time soon. Eight years ago I had no idea there would be a thing called social media, let alone cool tools such as Pinterest :-) They unarguably changed the rules of doing business on and off the internet. Stay open and curious. Keep learning and your mood good.
My current mantra: "manage your energy, make time for creativity, stay open, keep learning, face your fears, get busy, by happy and bloom!" :-)

If the doctor is guilty of murder, the mothers of the dead babies are guilty of hiring someone to commit murder. As far as I know it is far worse in the eyes of the law to pay someone to kill another human being than to do it yourself.

Doncaster couple celebrates 50 years of marriage
Anne and Charlie Wor
Charlie Worsdale's pursuit of a young Anne Turner at a Doncaster shop in the 1960s is still paying off.
On Saturday, the DoncasterCharlie and Anne Worsdale on their wedding day. They were married in Hatfield in 1967
Both say they are lucky to be married to each other after so many years.
For Charlie, a former columnist for Doncaster Free Press, it's a case of Anne having the patience of a saint. That, he said, was the key to them still being happy after half a century.
"She used to have black hair, and I turned it grey," Charlie, now 73, said.
The pair met one day when Charlie went into Anne's work, Solo on Cleveland Street, as part of his job.
The photographer at Fotonews would pick up old stocking boxes from the ladies wear shop.
He and his colleagues would put them in envelopes so the photos didn't bend when they were sent to the daily papers in Manchester, via the train.
Anne's colleagues detected Charlie's crush on her, and set about getting them together.
They slid a Valentine's Day card, with Anne's number written in lipstick, into the pile of boxes one day, and told Charlie to have a careful look through them when he got back to the office.
"They could see I was attracted to her," Charlie said.
"I plucked up the courage to ask her out. "The rest, as they say, is history.
The couple were married at St Lawrence, Hatfield, followed by a reception with 70 revellers at the Abbey Hotel. The venue is now a co-op.
Anne and Charlie honeymooned for a week by the seaside at Torquay. Charlie said they took the overnight train to London and made their way south west.
The pair now live at Church Balk Gardens, Edenthorpe.
Apart from Charlie's Parkinson's disease, the pair have enjoyed good health.
"It's under control, but I can't get out very much," he said.
Anne, now 70, said she was 'lucky' to still have Charlie in her life after all these years.
"Not many people get to 50 years of marriage," she said.
"I think we've done well."

Fielder, Supreme Court of New South Wales, Tryhaz
TRYHAZ V FIELDER [2005] NSWSC 906
Supreme Court of New South Wales – 9 September 2005
Fielder commenced proceedings to recover unpaid fees. Tryhaz brought a cross-claim against Fielder arising out of the collapse of the wash barrier claiming damages for breach of contract, alleging deficiencies in design and project management. Multiplex also sought damages from Tryhaz and Fielder arising out of the defects in the wash barrier.
A Referee was appointed by the Supreme Court, delivering a verdict for Fielder for the unpaid fees in the sum of $216,863 andthat Multiplex was entitled to recover the cost of reconstructing the wash wall in the amount of $1,507,380 plus GST, 60% against Fielder and 40% against Tryhaz.
The Court held that as Fielder did not raise the issue of GST before the Referee it was not appropriate to remit the issue back to the Referee for further consideration. Further, the Court found that the GST component should not be rejected.
Associate Justice Macready commented at paragraphs 32 and 33:

Let’s check how to FIX MSDT Vulnerability using SCCM and Intune (CVE-2022–30190). You can use Intune or SCCM or Group Policy to fix this vulnerability Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) URL protocol.
The CVE-2022–30190 Vulnerability is to deal with Windows Support Diagnostic Tool via MS Office files. A remote code execution vulnerability exists when MSDT is called using the URL protocol from a calling application such as Word.
Another method can be used to fix similar vulnerabilities using SCCM CI and Baseline. The method uses Powershell Script for File Detection in User Profile and Rerun Discovery Script.
Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) collects information from hosts running Microsoft Windows client and Windows Server to send to Microsoft Support. This is one of the common tools used for troubleshooting office 365 applications such as Word, Excel, etc.
Manual FIX to MSDT Vulnerability
You can manually fix the MSDT vulnerability using the registry as explained below. The registry is going to disable the MSDT URL protocol. Follow these steps to disable:
You can revert the workaround by restoring the registry keys, as mentioned in the following step.
To restore the registry key, execute the command “reg import MSDT_URL_Protocol.reg”
Intune Settings Catalog Policy to FIX MSDT Vulnerability
Enter the Name of the Policy and Description.
Disable MSDT Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
You can click on the Next button to continue and select the settings.
The following Intune policy setting allows users to access and run the troubleshooting tools that are available in the Troubleshooting Control Panel and to run the troubleshooting wizard to troubleshoot problems.
From the Configuration settings page, select Add settings. Try searching Troubleshooting and Diagnostics from the Search box under Settings Picker and click on the Search button.
Click on Administrative Templates/System/Troubleshooting and Diagnostics/Scripted Diagnostics.
Select the settings name -> Troubleshooting: Allow users to access and run Troubleshooting Wizard.
Enable the Slider to disable the access to run the Troubleshooting wizard.
If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, users can access and run the troubleshooting tools from the Troubleshooting Control Panel.
NOTE! — If you disable this policy setting, users cannot access or run the troubleshooting tools from the Control Panel. Note that this setting also controls a user’s ability to launch standalone troubleshooting packs such as those found in .diagcab files.
You need to configure another more accurate policy to disable MSDT tool functionality rather than all troubleshooting wizards. I would recommend testing both the policies and take a collective decision.
Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool: Turn on MSDT interactive communication with a support provider.
This policy setting configures the interactive communication of the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) with the support provider. MSDT gathers diagnostic data for analysis by support professionals. If you enable this policy setting, users can use MSDT to collect and send diagnostic data to a support professional to resolve a problem.
By default, the support provider is set to Microsoft Corporation. If you disable this policy setting, MSDT cannot run in support mode, and no data can be collected or sent to the support provider.
Try searching Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool from the Search box under Settings Picker and click on the Search button.
Click on Administrative Templates/System/Troubleshooting and Diagnostics/Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool.
Select the settings name ->Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool: Turn on MSDT interactive communication with a support provider.
Enable the slider to disable the access to run the MSDT in support mode.
Group Policy Method to FIX MSDT Vulnerability
Let’s check the Group Policy settings to FIX the MSDT Vulnerability. This method is not documented as part of an official workaround. This could be because this group policy setting will disable all the troubleshooting tools from the control panel/settings app.
This policy setting configures how troubleshooting for known problems can be applied on the device and lets administrators configure how it’s applied to their domains/IT environments.
Not configuring this policy setting will allow the user to configure how troubleshooting is applied.
Enabling this policy allows you to configure how troubleshooting is applied on the user’s device.
Disabling the policy disables all the troubleshooting tools on the device.
You can launch GPEDIT.MSC tool and navigate to Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Troubleshooting and Diagnostics -> Scripted Diagnostics node.
Select the DISABLED option as shown in the below screenshot for the policy called Troubleshooting: Allow users to access recommended troubleshooting for known problems.
Another policy setting, Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool: Configure Execution Level, determines the execution level for Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool. Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) gathers diagnostic data for analysis by support professionals.
If you disable this policy setting, MSDT cannot gather diagnostic data. This will help to fix the issue with MSDT vulnerability.
SCCM Application Method to FIX Vulnerability
You need to use the SCCM application model to deploy the batch file to all the devices. You can then use SCCM CI to track the vulnerability. You can use the following script.
Right Click on the Applications node
Select the option called “Manually specify the application information. “
Click on the Next button and enter the name and other details of the application.
You can use the following batch file to fix the vulnerability with MSDT. Save the following as MSDT_FIX.cmd.
reg export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ms-msdt MSDT_URL_Protocol.reg
Ensure you have saved the registry file as mentioned in the above section. You can use the following command as an installation program.
