Adam Hammer works for the St Cloud Times at Saint Cloud University as the director of media relations. He takes part in creating their literary magazine. During his presentation he addressed the process of writing articles. He talked about how he receives emails about certain stories and has an editorial process where he can decide what stories to take on. What I found interesting is that he receives a lot of story ideas but he can go out searching for stories opposite of how working for a newspaper worked. He went into detail about how he organizes the stories in an inverted pyramid so that the most interesting stories are at the top of the page. I loved that he went into detail about the writing process because it gave me an idea of how to structure a literary magazine.
I found his presentation very informative because his line of work as a media relations director is along the lines of what I could do with my New Media Major.
The show American Idol is a prime example of converging of
technology. The show allows audiences to vote for the winners thus making the
show interactive. The website, http://www.americanidol.com/ is set up so the audience cam view the consistence
and learn information off their page as well as track their progress in the
show. This allows for the audience to keep tabs on their favorite artists and
interact with the show. They have behind the scene access to the show that viewers
just watching the show on the television are not a part of.
This cultural changes has had a positive impact on the show.
Viewers use to rely on watching the show to find out results on their favorite
artists but now they can track them through social media. The website directly links
Twitter, Facbeook, Gmail, Pinterest, and Instagram. By doing this, viewers can
use multiple forms of media to advertise for the same show.
“From his bedroom, Ignacio sparked an international
controversy. His images crisscrossed the world, sometimes on the backs of
commercial media, sometimes via grassroots media. And, in the end, he inspired
his own cult following.” Page 2
I thought this quote was significant because it depicts how
much of a reality one person’s hobby became. Dino Ignacio had an idea to post
the image of Bert from Sesame Street
with terrorist as a joke claiming that Bert was a part of that terrorist’s
attack. His image became popular and were used in protest.
What is most interesting to me is that this became popular
and it started from some teenagers bedroom as a joke.
The most recent Disney film, "Frozen" was very successful in box offices and became popular online. People have made parody's of the movies most popular song "Let it go." Pixar and Disney teamed up for this video and sang the song entirely in different characters from different Disney movies. The movie was uploaded to youtube and shared around Facbook, Tumblr, and Pinterest.
The short clip brings popular promotion to "Frozen." Many people have uploaded their versions of the song to Youtube. Some videos were parodies making fun of the song but some fans uploaded videos of themselves singing which brought awareness to the film.
These videos provide advertisement for the movie, thus creating a buzz.


Experiencing its biggest growth year yet, the solar industry in the United States now employs more than 260,000 Americans, according to The Solar Foundation’s seventh annual National Solar Jobs Census released.
“Last year, one out of every 50 new jobs created here in America was a solar job,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). “That’s an incredible finding that proves that solar energy is increasingly becoming a linchpin in America’s economy. When communities across America open their doors to solar, the jobs come racing in.”
With 51,000 jobs added to the U.S. workforce by the solar industry in 2016, this marks the fourth consecutive year of more than 20 percent growth year-over-year for solar, which greatly outpaces job growth nationwide. Across America, the number of solar jobs have nearly tripled since 2010.
The new census also showed sizeable gains in diversity by both race and gender, which has been an area of emphasis for SEIA. For example, women now make up 28 percent of the solar workforce, up from 24 percent. Additionally, 9 percent of the solar workforce are now veterans of the U.S. Armed Services, which exceeds the national employment average.

Levy University of North Carolina Press, (2nd Rev. edition). The Establishment Clause wasn’t part of the original Constitution, it was appended to the Constitution as the First Amendment, one of the ten amendments in the Bill of Rights.

The Establishment clause prohibits the government from "establishing" a religion. The precise definition of "establishment" is unclear. Historically, it meant prohibiting state-sponsored churches, such as the Church of England. Today, what constitutes an "establishment of religion" is often governed under the three-part test set forth by the U.S.

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion ” Americans have always agreed that this “establishment clause” prohibits the government from establishing or promoting a national religion.

Directed by Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch | Written by van Groeningen and Vandermeersch, adapting the novel by Paolo Cognetti | 147 min | ▲▲▲▲△ | Carbon Arc Cinema
Two 11-year-old boys meet when one, who lives in Turin, spends summers in Grana, near Asti, Italy, in the Italian Alps. It’s astonishingly beautiful there, and the film is shot framing the characters against breathtaking landscapes. As teenagers, they cross paths but don’t connect. It isn’t until they’re adults and mountaineer Bruno (Alessandro Borghi) and writer Pietro (Luca Marinelli) are both distanced from their (shared) father figures that they bond over the shared dream of building a cabin up on the mountain. Something from their friendship as children is reignited, and the film follows their relationship, its ebbs and flows, over seasons and years.
At its core is this warm, sometimes difficult, but always affecting connection between these two very different men — drawn together by a shared passion for life and this place and, maybe, something they can’t quite articulate. As a tale of brotherly love, this picture doesn’t have many peers. The only minor gripe I have with it is the Academy Ratio, the screen frame of 4:3. I see the argument for it in films like Godland, Son of Saul, or even The Grand Budapest Hotel, but here I think the wider screen might’ve brought more of the epic to a film that has plenty of the intimate.

That gritty, raw, Rock from the golden days of the Sunset Strip is alive and very well, it just happens to be 2600 miles away in Baltimore, MD.
American Jetset, the Maryland based rockers are creating a scene for themselves. Formed late last year by singer guitarist Ian Kaine MacGregor, they have already released a killer, 5 song EP, “Live Love Die On Main” (Free download links below) full of catchy riffs with an old-school 80’s RAWK sound; have a video for their song “Go It Alone” on the way (Feb 14th); have a pre-M3 show lined up with Every Mother’s Nightmare and Kickin’ Valentina and an upcoming East Coast date with Faster Pussycat. Their star is quickly on the rise…
American Jetset are:
Ian Kaine MacGregor (Vox/Gtr)
Lance Reeder (Gtr)
Kevin Harrington (Bass)
Jeff Bradford (Drums)
WillToRock talked with Ian and Jeff from the band to discuss, American Jetset.
WTR: So, American Jetset, on the surface, seemed to come together pretty quickly late last year. Did it really happen just like that?
IAN: It might look that way but it was brewing for a while. I was playing in another band that I really wanted Jeff to play in, but no dice. He was really digging into the M3 scene and our conversations about the festival really brought back memories. You could say that the seeds of Jetset were planted then. A year later in October of 2018, I was watching the new Jetboy video saying “I want to do THAT again.”
JEFF: …and that’s when Ian called me to talk about about doing this. A week later we had 5 songs written!
IAN: When we knew the songs were right, everything else just fell into place.
WTR: How did you find one another? Did any of you know each other before the band formed?
JEFF: I knew Ian from playing shows when he and I were in bands that played together a lot 10 years ago.
IAN: Yeah, and I’ve also known Kevin forever. He’s one of the biggest music fans I know and a great guitar player. When he found out we needed a bass player, he picked up a bass and volunteered for the job. Lance was the final puzzle piece. Originally, I was going to be the only guitar player and had no intention of singing. Once rehearsals kicked in, I couldn’t help myself. So we put up an ad and Lance looked and sounded the part. When we got together it was totally seamless and not only with music, we all got along from go.
(Ad for “Go It Alone” Video Premier)
WTR: Your sound is a true throwback to the gritty days of the sunset strip like Faster Pussycat, GnR? Was that intentional?
IAN: Our idea was to write music that was a tribute to the music we grew up on. That said, we didn’t say “let’s try to sound like this or that.” We just wrote songs and what you hear is what came out. It definitely reflects our common influences – LA Guns, Faster Pussycat, Junkyard, Jetboy, and early Gn’R.
WTR: Are these the bands that were your main influences?
JEFF: For me, I always loved the grooves of Tommy Lee (Moteley Crue), Mike Bordin (Faith No More, Ozzy) mixed with dirty guitars.
IAN: I think we’re all kind of misfits that like a bit of everything. Personally I grew up on a heavy mix of hard rock and alternative music…everything from Slayer to The Smiths. I know Kevin has a similar background and is a huge INXS fan. I know Lance loves the Crue and is a mammoth Richie Kotzen fan too. Now that I’m thinking about it, Motley might be the glue to this whole thing.
WTR: What other bands would people be surprised to know that you have in your catalog.
IAN: My Top 5 would likely confuse people: 1. The Cure – Disintegration, 2. George Michael – Listen Without Prejudice, 2. Motley Crue – Shout at the Devil, 4. Matthew Sweet – Girlfriend, and 5. Angie Aparo – The American.
JEFF: Fishbone and Hall & Oates
WTR: Is there a main songwriter in the band?
IAN: While I’ve written most of the songs we’re playing at the moment, that’s rapidly changing. Lance has brought a ton of material to the table and Kevin and Jeff are contributing arrangement ideas as well. I would say that the songwriting liner notes on our next release will look quite different.
WTR: I saw you announced your debut show at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore on March 23rd… How are rehearsals going for that show and what can the audience expect?
IAN: Rehearsals have been insane. Each builds on the other and what people can expect is an absolutely killer stage show with really loud guitars.
WTR: After that you recently announced that you’ll be opening up for Every Mother’s Nightmare in May, that’s a great vote of confidence for your second show. How did you end up on that bill?
IAN: I actually helped put that bill together. We’re in Maryland, the home of the M3 Rock Festival, and our goal was to play one of the official pre-shows for the event. Unfortunately we had a hard time getting the promoters to bite. Since the M3 crowd loves EMN, I reached out to see if they’d be interested in doing a pre-show with us and when I got the thumbs up, I took the idea to another promoter in Baltimore and it all came together quickly. Once Babylon Shakes came into the picture we knew we had a perfect bill. (Kickin’ Valentina has now been added to the show)
WTR: After that what is next on the agenda? Tour? Just one off shows here and there?
IAN: We’re not doing traditional “tours” but every show is strategic and we’re already booked through the summer. The big news is that we’ll be opening for Faster Pussycat when they come through the Mid-Atlantic for their “Return to the Sunset” tour. I can’t share venue or dates yet but it’s happening and how badass is that? You start a band and six months later you’re playing with the very band that influenced half of your music. Insane!
WTR: Any plans to tour/play on the West Coast?
IAN: I spent most of the last decade touring and when we started this band I swore up and down I would never step back into a van again. Then the possibility of doing a festival in Europe came up out of the blue and everyone was into it. We’re certainly motivated and confident enough to tour but it would take something special to pack up our gear and hit the road for 3 months. As for the West Coast, I love LA so I’m always trying to get back when I can. If I was a betting man, I’d put money on our band playing LA or a small string of CA dates within the next year
WTR: For someone who’s never heard of your band, what would be the main thing you’d want people to know?
IAN: We are for anyone that wants to see a rock & roll revolution in music. Are you tired of bands that play to a click or use backing tracks? We’re for you. Are you sick of overproduced pop and are dying for loud guitars? We’re for you. We just want to have fun playing and to share that with our audience. If you also happen to dig our influences, you might get even more out of it. Can’t wait to see you at a show

Explosive Destruction System, take two: After prototype debut, field system getting checkout at Aberdeen
The newest Explosive Destruction System (EDS), built for field deployment, has arrived at the US Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland for operational testing.
Designed by Sandia for the Army’s Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization, the transportable, self-contained system can neutralize recovered, explosively configured, chemical munitions without resorting to open burn/ open detonation. Open burn/open detonation involves packing excess explosives around a chemical munition to destroy the chemical agent in the resulting fireball during detonation. While open burn/open detonation is a viable destruction method, it is not desirable near public areas or where the blast can cause environmental damage.
This new EDS trailer becomes the second slated for operational deployment. The first EDS, a prototype, was deployed to the field last year, following engineering development testing at Porton Down, England. Although never intended for field use, the prototype was chosen to neutralize sarin-containing bomblets unexpectedly uncovered at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal outside of Denver. It explosively opened the bomblets inside the EDS chamber and successfully neutralized the sarin (Lab News, March 9, 2001).
The new field system incorporates a few changes from the prototype. For a more rapid and complete mixing in the containment chamber, a munition (once opened using explosive charges) and its contents are mixed with neutralizing chemicals by a full rotation of the sealed chamber at 2 rpm, rather than the back-and-forth tilt used in the prototype.
In addition, operations management has been improved by consolidating all control subsystems at just one location in the system’s process area. The unit itself is a semi-trailer (fifth-wheel, 30-foot, double-drop); the prototype was a two-axle, four-wheeled trailer equipped with a pintle hitch.
In late November, the Army began training and familiarization with the new system at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Formal operational testing, which is expected to take four months, will begin this month. The familiarization process has generated "pretty positive comments so far," says John Rosenow (8118), who supports field and operational testing, as he did previously for the system’s predecessor.
In addition, a third system, identical to the unit just delivered, is in the final phase of fabrication and will begin acceptance testing at Sandia this month. A fourth system, with higher explosive capability, is also in fabrication. Its delivery date is late this fiscal year.
The design and fabrication work is a joint effort within centers 8100 and 8700 in California and organization 15322 in New Mexico.

"Pause" a poem by Multi-genre International Author and Poetess KG Petrone reflecting on why self isolation during COVID matters.
CHAPTER ONE PRESENT DAY… Jennifer fought wildly for a way out when a scream sent her into a panic. She quickly tugged the chain to expose her badge as she crept deeper into the cave-like corridor.

Simulposted at Daily Kos
First of all, thanks to the 53163 people who signed The Petition for a Special Prosecutor for Bush War Crimes. Thanks to the crew at Docudharma and to Bob Fertik and his crew at Democrats.com who all worked hard to create it and promote it. And thanks to all those who worked hard on the other petitions that eventually delivered around 250,000 signatures in support of appointing a Special Prosecutor to investigate the highly organized and Presidentially approved Policy of Torture.
Thanks to Eric Holder for doing the right thing, against great pressure and long odds. Bucking his own President to pursue justice….in a political environment where political expediency is FAR more valued than The Rule Of Law and justice.
(Shhhh! And special thanks to Holder for appointing an SP that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse says WILL follow the evidence wherever it leads, even though we are pretending he is only out to produce the next batch of Lynndie Englands and let off the people who came up with The Bush Policy of Torture.)
And thanks to President Obama for appointing an Attorney General with the guts to defy his ‘policy’ (stated intention?) of ‘pragmatically’….allowing War Criminals to skate free.
Now that we have a Special Prosecutor to address the specific crimes committed, (and believe you me, we are going to have to apply some pressure/cover for the investigations to work up the food chain) it is now time to work on uncovering the Big Picture.
The way only a broad, ranging, and public Truth Commission can.
The heads of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, Patrick Leahy and John Conyers both issued statements yesterday…
“The conduct that is documented in this report illustrates the perils of the dark road of excusing torture down which the Bush administration took this nation,” he wrote in a statement. “I also believe it underscores why we need to move forward with a Commission of Inquiry, a nonpartisan review of exactly what happened in these areas, so that we can find out what happened and why. Who justified these policies? What was the role of the Bush White House? How can we make sure it never happens again? Information coming out in dribs and drabs will never paint the full picture.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.): “[M]uch more remains to be done. The gruesome acts described in today’s report did not happen in a vacuum. It would not be fair or just for frontline personnel to be held accountable while the policymakers and lawyers escape scrutiny after creating and approving conditions where such abuses were all but inevitable to occur.
“I have long believed that Department rules require a special counsel to review the entire interrogation program to determine if any crimes were committed. An independent and bipartisan commission should also be convened to evaluate the broader issues raised by the Bush Administration’s brutal torture program,” he added.
Though the DOJ, and rightly so, will have first crack at all witnesses and evidence, those proceedings will not be public until the release of the SP’s report. Aside from the usual leaks each side engages in to spin the proceedings, that is.
NOW we need a public inquiry. The key word being public.

Tobacco Stocks Quietly Rising
This finding continued whether or not the smokers have been initially thinking about quitting or not. Tentative proof indicates that health warnings on vaping merchandise could affect customers to give up vaping. Some people who smoke choose to attempt e-cigarettes to assist them stop smoking. Stopping smoking clearly has properly-documented well being benefits. But people who smoke who swap to e-cigarette use still expose themselves to doubtlessly critical ongoing health risks. It’s important to stop using all tobacco merchandise, including e-cigarettes, as soon as possible each to scale back health risks and to avoid staying hooked on nicotine. If you’re having trouble quitting e-cigarettes by yourself, get help from your physician or from other support services, similar to your state quitline (1-800-QUIT-NOW) or the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345).
Need Help Quitting?
The limited available information means that the probability of abuse from e-cigarettes is smaller than conventional cigarettes. No lengthy-term research have been carried out on the effectiveness of e-cigarettes in treating tobacco addiction, however some proof suggests that dual use of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes may be related to greater nicotine dependence. Research has not but provided a consensus on the dangers of e-cigarette use. There is little information about their safety, and a substantial variety of liquids are used as carriers, and thus are current in the aerosol delivered to the user. Reviews of the protection of e-cigarettes have reached fairly different conclusions. A 2014 WHO report cautioned about potential risks of using e-cigarettes.
- E-cigarettes have not been subjected to the same kind of efficacy testing as nicotine replacement products.
- A 2013 examine in people who smoke who were not attempting to give up, found that vaping, with or without nicotine decreased the number of cigarettes consumed.
- The evidence signifies smokers are more incessantly able to completely quit smoking utilizing tank units compared to cigalikes, which can be due to their more environment friendly nicotine delivery.
- Nicotine-containing e-cigarettes have been associated with larger effectiveness for quitting smoking than e-cigarettes with out nicotine.
- There is low quality proof that vaping assists people who smoke to give up smoking within the lengthy-time period in contrast with nicotine-free vaping.
- It is tough to reach a general conclusion from e-cigarette use for smoking cessation as a result of there are hundreds of brands and fashions of e-cigarettes offered that change in the composition of the liquid.
Regulated US FDA products similar to nicotine inhalers could also be safer than e-cigarettes, but e-cigarettes are generally seen as safer than combusted tobacco merchandise corresponding to cigarettes and cigars. The danger of early demise is anticipated to be much like that of smokeless tobacco.
As a result of the information being confronted with methodological and study design limitations, no agency conclusions could be drawn in respect to their efficacy and security. A 2016 evaluate discovered that the combined abstinence fee among smokers utilizing e-cigarettes in prospective studies was 29.1%. The same evaluate noted that few scientific trials and potential studies had but been conducted on their effectiveness, and only one randomized medical trial had included a gaggle utilizing other give up smoking strategies. No lengthy-time period trials have been carried out for his or her use as a smoking cessation help. It continues to be not evident as as to whether vaping can adequately assist with quitting smoking at the population level. As of January 2018, systematic evaluations collectively agreed that there is insufficient evidence to unequivocally determine whether or not vaping helped folks abstain from smoking. A 2020 systematic evaluate and meta-evaluation of sixty four research discovered that on the entire as shopper products e-cigarettes do not improve quitting smoking.
The time period harm discount implies any reduction in relative hurt from a prior degree, even a small reduction corresponding to decreasing smoking by one or two cigarettes per day. Tobacco harm reduction may serve as an alternative choice to conventional cigarettes with decrease danger products to reduce tobacco-associated death and disease. Tobacco harm reduction has been a controversial space of tobacco control. Health advocates have been gradual to vapinger.com assist a hurt reduction methodology out of concern that tobacco corporations can’t be trusted to promote products that may lower the risks related to tobacco use. E-cigarettes can cut back people who smoke’ publicity to carcinogens and other toxic chemical substances present in tobacco.
The available research on the efficacy of e-cigarette use for smoking cessation is limited. Data relating to their use contains 4 randomized managed trials and a number of person surveys, case reviews, and cohort research. There is tentative evidence they may assist individuals quit smoking. Vaping does not significantly enhance the percentages of quitting smoking.
Digital Cigarette Definitions
Since vapor does not include tobacco and does not contain combustion, customers might keep away from several dangerous constituents usually present in tobacco smoke, similar to ash, tar, and carbon monoxide. However, e-cigarette use with or with out nicotine cannot be thought-about danger-free as a result of the lengthy-term results of e-cigarette use are unknown.

If you ask venture capitalist John Doerr how the boom in green tech compares with the infotech boom — and bust — that preceded it, he’ll grab pen and paper and draw this chart:
|Made Of:||Bits, Pixels||Atoms, molecules|
|What is At Stake:||Finding Friends on FaceBook||Life on the Planet|
|Capital Needed:||LOW Google needed $25 million||HIGH Hundreds of millions|
|Time to success:||QUICK 3 to 5 years||LONGER 5 to 10 years|
|Market Potential:||LARGE Billions||ENORMOUS Trillions|
In other words, green-tech companies won’t be built in garages. Silicon Valley has long been a world apart, with its free-flowing capital, huge appetite for risk, and quick ability to turn a thought into the thing. Now the Valley is applying its gifts to green technology. “We’re talking about nothing less than the reindustrialization of the whole planet,” Doerr says. So the biggest mistake any investor or company could make would be to remain inside the Valley’s rarefied air, ignoring the incumbent energy companies that control distribution, have near-total market share, and shape regulations to their benefit.
The new green-tech bunch has already stubbed some toes in its first dealings with the real world. First Solar Inc. stumbled in European markets because it uses toxic cadmium, which triggered a regulatory avalanche (it has since recovered). Tesla’s electric car missed its ship date by a year because it couldn’t orchestrate the complexities of its supply chain.
Those that make it in green tech will need to abandon the idea that Silicon Valley already knows everything it needs to know to remake the world. They’ll need to understand transmission grids and enter the battles over where they’re located. They’ll need to confront the massive water requirements for biofuels. They’ll need to grapple with the infrastructure required for carbon sequestration. Most important, they’ll need to work hard to shape the federal policies and carbon-market structures that will make or break their businesses.
That’s why Doerr has taken several of his entrepreneurs to Sacramento in the last couple of years to persuade California legislators to pass mandatory carbon reductions. And it’s why he funds companies run by people who have not only two or three advanced degrees but also an understanding of such arcana as fuel-supply chains and congressional politics. “They’re going to be more nimble as we get more change,” Doerr says. And it is why a company must prove itself before it’s ready for an IPO. “Companies ideally will be in production, at scale, with contracts and guaranteed revenue.”
The most promising companies are already deftly working within the establishment. For instance, Chena Power, a little geothermal-energy firm in Alaska, partnered with United Technologies to take advantage of its political and marketplace clout. Verenium, a cellulosic-ethanol company, imported its top executive from conventional power production for his connections and wisdom. Green tech isn’t a bubble destined to burst. Energy is as necessary as water and food. In fact, it’s the biggest business in the world, with $5 trillion in annual revenues. Demand for alternative energy is exploding, and it will not only create fortunes but also save the planet. Anyone who doesn’t get the differences between the last new thing and the next one will watch this “mother of all markets,” as Doerr calls it, pass them by.

So, a confession. I’ve never really understood the whole ‘vampire thing’. It always seemed a bit naff. Boy with fangs bites girl. Girl swoons (or dies). The end.
When a friend of mine last year suggested I watch the first few episodes of True Blood while I was babysitting her kids, I laughed and told her I didn’t ‘do vampires’. She urged me to watch at least one installment and make my mind up then. I smiled wanly as she pressed the DVD case into my hands when she and her husband headed out the door.
I put the kids to bed, turned on my laptop and started reading some material/taking notes for my masters research project (which I have just put on hold). After an hour or so I got a bit bored (short attention span), so cracked open the block of chocolate I had cleverly secured in my laptop bag in case of such an emergency and slipped the disc out of its cover and into the player.
All I can say is OH MY GOODNESS! I have rarely been so riveted. I LOVED the first episode and watched the second and third (my laptop shut down and put away by this stage) and devoured the rest of Season 1 over the next week or so. Fortunately said amiga had Season 2 on DVD as well, so I watched that too. What great television – possibly even better than BSG (which I adored until the last ep).
At the same time as I was getting sucked in by True Blood, the Dead Red Heart anthology opened for submissions and I wrote a story (sadly, rejected) which had a vampire or two in it! I think I have been converted. (I still haven’t read/seen any of the Twilight stuff – I have a feeling that’s more along the traditional teenage angsty line – the 2010 version of Flowers in the Attic, which was all the rage when I was finishing high school.)
To top it all off, I got an email from a vampire friend of mine. Xan is the coolest damned vampire this side of Eric (how HOT is Alexander Skarsgard, by the way?) and he was emailing me! I am so not cool, but I’m happy to flirt with the dark side every now and then (a girl’s gotta have a bit of bad in her life). Turns out I won a miniature guitar in a fan contest his maker was running on his Crooked Fang fan page on Facebook. I got to choose my favourite and ended up with a perfect Paul Reed Smith, replete witha bird in flight neck. I always wanted one of these – even in miniature! It now sits on my window ledge at work, a tiny reminder there is life beyond the office. Thanks Xan and the badass Carrie. You guys rock!
Now get your arse over to Crooked Fang for a bit of action with Xan.

Days after Pulwama attack, India here on Tuesday carried out surgical strikes in Pakistan with top government sources saying that there were over 200 casualties from IAF strike. As many as 12 Mirage 2000 fighter jets of the Indian Air Force struck Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM) terror launch pads in Balakot, Muzaffarabad and Chakothi areas in Pakistan in an early morning strike on Tuesday.
The attack was carried out at around 3:30 am and lasted around 21 minutes, IAF sources have said. As per sources, the fighter jets dropped 1,000 kilogrammes of bombs at terrorist camps across the Line of Control.
Manufactured by France’s Dassault Aviation, Mirage 2000 is a fourth-generation aircraft and is seen as one of the best fighter aircraft in the world. Each jet is equipped to carry a heavy payload and top-of-the-line artillery.
While officials in the air force refused to comment, saying that they have nothing to reply, sources told CNN-News18 that the force was targeting a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) hideout in Balakot sector with laser-guided bombs.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is chairing a high-level CCS meeting in New Delhi along with Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Arun Jaitley on the attack.
The Indian Air Force has put on high alert all air defence systems along the international border and LoC to respond to any possible action by Pakistan Air Force reported ANI.

December 07, 2019 I Utsha Foundation of Contemporary Art, UNIT 6, VR-39, Bhubaneswar, Odisha
As part of Utsha residency, Ritesh spent a month exploring Bhubaneswar’s cultural heritage.
His art is the observation of a small event occurring in the environment. He tried to create an atmosphere of sarcasm as the poet does in his poetry, its effect and its visual scene. He created scenes that reflected questions like- how and what, the part of the earth we are on, looks like and what was it like before and what will it be like next, what are the reasons that this change is happening?
In his work, he did not use any kind of artistic material. Instead, he used fire and water in which the surface was experimental.
About the artist
Ritesh Yadav is from Uttar Pradesh and presently practicing in New Delhi. He graduated (BFA) from Faculty of visual art B.H.U Banaras from painting (2014) and postgraduate (MFA) from College of Art, New Delhi (2017). Initially he started his art practice based on form and space, inspired from college teachers, which he developed into nature based subjects later. Currently he is working in many mediums like photography, painting, drawing, installation, video based works and building his visual language on different themes of nature.

Dogs and traveling really do seem to go together and most dogs quickly learn the meaning of the words car, ride or truck, plus they also learn to associate the jingling of keys with a road trip. Most dogs are more of a problem to keep out of your car than it is to teach them to jump in. To train your dog to be a good traveler there are a few basic steps that you can use right from their very first ride in your vehicle. Like with most dog training, starting slow and small and building to longer rides and travels is the best possible option.
Bringing Home A Puppy
The first ride your puppy will likely every have is the trip when you bring him or her home from the kennel. Most people are going to want to hold the puppy on the ride home, and this certainly is an option, but it is not the safest one for the tiny puppy. Accidents can occur and a puppy that is held in someone's lap, especially a child's, is at the greatest risk of being injured. It is a good idea to start off on the right foot, putting the puppy in a safe, secure and belted in carrier. Your breeder can work with you to plan to pick up the puppy shortly after a feeding when they will naturally sleep, allowing you to transport the puppy safely and relatively quietly all the way home.
Getting your puppy or dog used to being in a car requires a desensitization process combined with lots of praise and positive rewards. Start by bringing the puppy into the car and just sitting in the vehicle with the door closed with the puppy for a few minutes. Be sure you do this after the puppy has gone to the bathroom, you don't want an accident in the car and you certainly don't want to have to correct the puppy while they are in the vehicle. Just keep them in the car for a few minutes, talking to them and petting them, even giving a small treat for a job well done.
The next step is to start the vehicle and just sit in the running car with the puppy or dog. Again, provide a treat in the car and take the puppy or dog out before they become anxious. In addition at this time you should already be getting the puppy or dog used to being in either a carrier or a harness, but do this outside of the car.
Once the puppy or dog is used to the carrier and the harness, the next step is to restrain them in the car using the device and go for a very short drive. This can be as short as around the block or to a local park where they get to run and play. Within one or two of these short trips they will associate going in the car with positive events and soon you will have a dog that is eager and willing to go with the car any and every time.
Most dogs seem to find the movement and sound of vehicles very relaxing and after a bit of looking around at the scenery they will simply lie down and go to sleep, waking when they feel the motion of the vehicle change. Provide a toy for the dog to play with in the carrier or in the seat belt to help with boredom and energy, especially if he or she is a high activity breed.
Car manners are basically teaching your dog to wait his or her turn to get in and out of the vehicle. Dogs that love riding in cars will be almost frantic to get in, often jumping up on the side of the vehicle and scrambling past you to get in. Teaching your dog to sit at the door and not jump up into the car until given the command of "In" or "Up" provides you time enough to put down a towel, adjust the seat belt or carrier or even get items off the back seat before the dog piles in.
To do this the dog must understand two different commands, the sit command and the wait or stay command. Bring the dog to the side of the vehicle and give the sit command. When the dog is sitting, give the stay command and move towards the car door. If the dog jumps up, have them sit again and repeat the wait or stay command. A leash can be used to help reinforce the wait command if the dog is jumping in ahead of time. Once the dog sits and waits while the door is opened, provide praise and another small treat, then give the "up" or "in" command, again giving a treat when the dog hops into the car. Don't expect the dog to wait too long when this sequence is first being taught, but as they get the hang of the sequence expand the time between the wait command and the up or in command. The dog should then sit again to allow the harness to be attached to the seat belt or they should get into the carrier and lie down.
Always get in the habit of attaching your dog's leash before they get out of the vehicle. This will prevent the dog from darting out into traffic or taking off running when they get to the park. It is also important to ensure your dog doesn't start jumping on the inside of the car door as well.
Be sure to give lots of praise and always have some bite sized treats to reward your dog when getting them started on their car manners and traveling. Also keep in mind that taking your dog exciting places will also help increase their enjoyment and enthusiasm about being in the car. If you do have to take your dog someplace they don't like in the vehicle, consider making a stop someplace really fun on your way home so the dog remembers the good times last. For example, a trip to the vet is not a fun activity for most dogs, but stopping at the dog park, the lake or even out in the country for a longer walk on the way home can erase the negative memory and make it an overall fun event for the dog.

1. The characters in the painting were only identified in the late 19th century
While Botticelli was fairly popular and revered during his lifetime, he fell out of favor in the following century. With the exception of sporadic mention in art history texts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, he was mostly forgotten up until the second half of the nineteenth century. Giorgio Vasari, in his biography of Botticelli, whom he looked down on, recalls a painting hanging at the Villa Castello matching Allegory of Spring, and described it together with the Birth of Venus. It was only exposed to the public at the Galleries of the Academy in 1853, and was moved to the Uffizi Gallery in 1919.
After the public could finally appraise the painting firsthand, came the attempts to identify the characters. Adolf Gaspary, who was a philologist well-versed in Renaissance literature and not an art critic, first saw a link between Botticelli’s Allegory of Spring and a poem by Agnolo Poliziano titled “Rusticus,” which celebrated country life and the renewal of seasons.

Australia Capital Financial Management Pty Ltd v Australian Financial Complaints Authority Limited  NSWCA 204
The NSW Court of Appeal has upheld a decision that AFCA had jurisdiction to decide that a lender engaged in unconscionable conduct by taking a guarantee such that it was unenforceable and compensation had to be paid, despite the lender having commenced court proceedings to enforce against the borrower.
Australia Capital Financial Management (ACFM) appealed against a decision of Ball J dismissing a challenge to a determination made by AFCA in favour of the complainants.
The complainants, Mr Bai and Ms Yang, established an export business which was conducted through a corporate entity. The company entered into a loan for approximately $2 million ACFM which was guaranteed by the complainants and supported by a mortgage over two properties they owned in Victoria, one of which was their place of residence while they resided in Australia.
The company defaulted on the loan with ACFM, and ACFM commenced proceedings against the complaints in the District Court.
The complainants lodged a complaint with AFCA, seeking compensation of over $500,000 and alleging that ACFM acted inappropriately and unconscionably in taking the guarantee, rendering the guarantee unenforceable. ACFM sought for the complaint to be excluded on jurisdictional and discretionary grounds. AFCA rejected the exclusion application, carried out its investigation, and made its final determination in favour of the complainants, resulting in invalid and unenforceable guarantees and mortgages.
Justice Ball found that a determination by AFCA is generally not susceptible to judicial review, and that AFCA’s jurisdiction powers and obligations are governed solely by the contract set out in the AFCA rules. The exceptions to this general proposition are if a decision is made that no reasonable decision-maker could properly come to on the evidence (that is ‘Wednesbury unreasonableness’) such as because of fraud, dishonesty, lack of good faith, or because the determination has not been carried out in accordance with the rules. What is important is whether the decision has been reached in accordance with the rules, not whether there the decision-maker arrived at an incorrect conclusion whilst applying the correct rules.
Justice Ball rejected ACFM’s assertions that the value of the AFCA claim exceeded AFCA’s jurisdictional limit of $1 million. Although Justice Ball found that the security property was not the couple’s primary residence at the time the complaint was made, this did not matter because the value of the claim was still under $1 million, and therefore within AFCA’s jurisdiction.
The Court of Appeal noted that each member of AFCA agrees to be bound by the AFCA rules, and this forms a binding tripartite contract between the complainant, AFCA and the member the subject of the complaint. A complaint is within AFCA’s jurisdiction provided it meets the requirements of that contract or it is outside AFCA’s jurisdiction.
In the appeal, ACFM challenged the correctness of the primary judge’s conclusion in relation to the AFCA rules relating to its jurisdiction and discretion to determine a complaint. The Court of Appeal agreed with the primary judge’s conclusions that AFCA’s determination did not depart from the tripartite agreement.
Further, in respect of the application of the AFCA rules, the Court agreed that AFCA’s decisions on the jurisdictional questions and its decision to accept that the complaint was within its jurisdiction, were open to a reasonable decision-maker to make in good faith.
ACFM also argued that it had been denied procedural fairness by AFCA in that by not exercising its jurisdiction to exclude the complaint AFCA prevented existing District Court proceeding from progressing. This was of particular importance to ACFM as it took issue with some evidence led by the complainants and was unable to cross-examine them.
The Court also found against ACFM on this argument because the AFCA rules permit AFCA, in its discretion, to apply a relatively informal procedure when it comes to evidence and, in any event, ACFM was given the opportunity to make written submissions in the course of the AFCA complaint.
Finally ACFM argued that AFCA’s determination that the mortgages were given to support the guarantees was unreasonable to the ‘Wednesbury unreasonableness’ standard and was made in circumstances entailing a denial of procedural fairness. The Court found the primary judge was correct to in holding it would be unrealistic to treat the guarantees and mortgages as entirely separate, and the Court found that AFCA’s conclusion was open to it.
AFCA members should keep in mind that:

There is no one-size fits all approach to backing up your IT assets. But, there are a few general guidelines that can help you make the best decisions for your unique environment.
Virtualization is one of the more important trends to come into maturity in the past several years. To really get the greatest benefit, there are certain uses that should be considered. Virtual server backups aren’t too different than physical server backups in theory. In practice, however, there are specific differences that can trip up even experienced professionals. Additionally, there are benefits that virtualization offers which can not only speed up the backup process, but also make recovery easier as well.
There are innumerable ways to backup a physical machine. The most usual approach involves an agent running on the server that reads the source data and copies it across the network (LAN or WAN) to a backup repository. The data and location of each file in the dataset is then recorded into a database for restoration purposes.
The same approach MAY be used for backing up a virtual machine. However, virtualization-aware backup strategies offer the opportunity to maximize efficiencies offered in the virtual environment, and therefore may reduce downtime drastically.
Backing up a virtual server may be done by way of communication between the backup application and the hypervisor itself. This type of virtualization-aware backup product allows backup “images” to be taken and stored very efficiently. This can speed up the process, and with a snapshot you can restore a virtual machine state EXACTLY as it was when the backup image was taken. This can make for a much more streamlined recovery process — reducing overall downtime and simplifying recovery.
Some backup vendors have been slow to adapt to the new virtualized world. But, there are now a number of options available which take maximum advantage of being able to talk directly to the hypervisor. Let ServIT help you identify and execute the backup strategy that is perfectly suited to your specific business needs

Secession Art & Design is located on Mission Street, right across from our Taoist Safeway, and I love stopping in there during grocery runs to check out their current shows. When possible, I also enjoy giving them some of my money, because Secession always always has very cool, locally made stuff. So it is indeed cause for celebration that on Friday night, August 19, Secession is having a Fourth Anniversary Party from 6:30 to 9:30. Here are the deets:
Secession Art & Design took over 3361 Mission Street, nestled between Abner’s Barber Shop and Smoke N Talk, in 2007 with the dream of creating a space to house a rotating collection of independent art & design. We wanted a store that could be home to a mix of medias co-existing. The neighborhood is a living, breathing work of art. Four years in one location has taught us so much about human nature, working together, and community. Our hood has taught us to dream big, build a career, and support everyone in our path. Community is about sharing resources!
Last year, we expanded our wall space to The Front Porch, 65a 29th Street, a five-minute walk from the gallery. Art from our gallery is now the backdrop to fantastic southern-inspired food. A tasty inspiration! Happy 5th Anniversary to The Front Porch on August 21! The Southern Mission has opened so many doors, and we appreciate all that our neighborhood has offered! Secession is excited to announce the celebration of extending our lease three more years! Please join us on Friday to celebrate our independent art & design community.

Just moved into a new place and this plant seems to be taking over most of the planting area and seems to be choking some of the other trees and plants around it. I'm about to aggressively prune it down but wanted to know what kind of plant it was - whether it will flower, and whether there is any reason for me not to drastically reduce it. (The thorns hurt as well)

I think you have a Common Buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica). The leaf shape looks right, oval-shaped and serrated with short petioles. And the thorns definitely look like buckthorn, surprisingly long and pretty sharp.
In most of the Eastern United States (which is where your profile says you are) Buckthorn is considered an invasive species, it has few natural predators here, it forms dense thickets where it gets a foothold and it's berries are not a very good food-source for birds, though they will eat it if desperate. If you find it annoying, I would suggest cutting it back as hard as you feel like, even up to total removal.

The boom of eCommerce has led to the unexpected growth of the logistics sector.
In fact, the global logistics market is expected to reach $12.25 trillion by the year 2025! This comes as no surprise – thanks to the ongoing pandemic- where consumers prefer online shopping from the comfort of their homes. Logistics is a highly integrated supply chain network that follows multiple transportation modes – like air and express delivery services, freight rail, maritime transport, truck transport – to link consumers and suppliers seamlessly.
Logistics is an intricate department and involves many moving pieces that work in tandem to ensure the seamless flow from the order to delivery process. If any of these pieces malfunction, the entire process can go for a toss. How often have you received calls from customers demanding the whereabouts of their package? How many times have your drivers contacted you to report a vehicle breakdown due to issues that could have been avoided way before the journey was undertaken?
An on-demand logistics app will help streamline operations to overlook fleet management, warehouse management, employee management, and customer management- anywhere and anytime!
This article will give you an overview of the features that make up a holistic logistics application, the overall costs incurred in developing a quality-centric app, and the factors that play a major role in determining the cost of the application.
The first step to create an application for the Logistics industry is to identify which development model your app development service provider will follow. This will also impact the features to be developed by Top Logistics App development Companies, and ultimately on the cost of building the logistics application. To make it easier for you here we have listed are some most common types of logistics and transportation apps:
This type of Logistics app will store the data of products in your inventory. The admin can access that data with only a single tap. The app will give information about the accessibility of every item, stock availability in the inventory, information of employees working in the warehouse, etc.
This is ideal for a transportation or courier delivery business to manage the fleets involved. This type of logistics and transportation app can give information about your vehicles regarding maintenance days, related parameters like fuel/gas consumption, routes taken, etc. It can also help you assign a vehicle to each employee while tracking its live whereabouts during delivery time.
A dedicated app for your users and drivers, along with an admin panel that will help you overlook each of the business operations. Independent drivers will be allocated for each delivery as per the demand. A good example of this is the Uber app.
This is a robust application that will oversee and manage all operations. Some of the features that are included in such types of logistics apps are –
● Order status
● Order Transit Details
● Order Delivery Details
● Customer Details- Profiles, Payment, Order History
● Fleet and Driver Details
● Warehouse Inventory Details
Next, let’s dive into the features that are of utmost importance and are required in a logistics app.
Considering that you want to develop an All-in-One type of logistics and transportation application, there are three major dashboards to consider while developing the app – user, driver/ employee, and admin. Let’s take a quick look at all three.
The admin dashboard should overlook all the functionalities of the on-demand logistics app:
Taking into consideration that your logistics and transportation app will be inclusive of the admin, user, and driver panel, here is a breakdown of additionally factors that contribute to the total development cost:
The tech stack that you consider needs to be robust enough to keep all the moving pieces in check. This is an integral part of mobile app development that helps to decide both the front end and back end of the application, database, payment gateway, real-time analytics, push notifications, and cloud technology to be used.
Here is a quick overview of languages that can be considered:
● Android: Java, Kotlin
● iOS: Swift, Objective C
● Front end : HTML, CSS
● Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS
● Payment Gateways: PayPal, Stripe
● Real-Time Analytics IBM, CISCO, Hadoop, Spark
● Push Notifications: Firebase, Twilio
● Map: Google Map API, Apple map, Waze
The effort required to develop the logistics app will be equal to the cost incurred. Either opt for a team of efficient developers or a well-established mobile app development company to create your logistics application.
The most important members of the mobile app development team will include:
● Project Manager: To overlook timelines and deliverables to be accomplished
● Developers: Android/ iOS: To program the application and make it work
● UI/UX Developers: To design the User Interface and User Experience
● Testers: To test all functionalities of the app before market release
The cost of app development may also cover post-launch support. For example, best logistics app developers will be needed to release security patches or provide support after the app goes live.
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is released with the most essential functionalities of the application. Then, based on customer feedback, better versions are created. This empowers app developers to decide which features to retain, drop or add – thereby saving investment in developing a full-fledged application with features that are not necessary.
Here comes the part you’ve been waiting for. If you want to develop an app with all the features mentioned earlier, a ballpark estimate would be around $25,000-$40,000 and can go as high as $100,000-$150,000 in case of customization or advanced functionalities to be added.
A well-formulated logistics application will not just help in proper communication between users and drivers but also aid in route optimization, convenient doorstep delivery, maximized delivery volumes in minimum time – all the while tracking the moving pieces in a standardized and organized manner.
