On the front lines of the African climate change battle
'Miners Shot Down' wins Emmy for best documentary
25 Oct 2010 07:50 GMT | Politics, Asia, US & Canada, Pakistan, United States
More than 70 people have been killed in Pakistani coastal city Karachi this week, following political tensions leading up to a local by-election.
The by-election was called to fill a position left vacant after Raza Haider, a politician in Karachi's dominant Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), was killed two months ago, sparking widespread violence. The party is facing a challenge from the ANP, which is mainly supported by the city's ethnic Pashtun population.
Karachi has a long history of sectarian violence and was a main target of al Qaeda-linked fighters after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US, when Pakistan joined the US-led campaign against such groups.
Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr finds out how political parties have been blamed for the recent violence in Pakistan's largest city.

Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong.
Yesterday is but today's memory and tomorrow is today's dream.
Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.
When you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are
Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.
I think about the meaning of pain. Pain is personal. It really belongs to the one feeling it. Probably the only thing that is your own. I like mine.
We never see ourselves as others see us.
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
We sometimes congratulate ourselves at the moment of waking from a troubled dream; it may be so the moment after death.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
Think no vice so small that you may commit it, and no virtue so small that you may over look it.
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it.
Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is.
To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.
Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.
Only from the heart can you touch the sky.
Where you stand depends on where you sit.
An intelligent hell would be better than a stupid paradise.
If a man could have half of his wishes, he would double his troubles.

FALLBROOK – On March 22, Potter Junior High School’s seventh grade students visited California State University, San Marcos (CSUSM), promoting college and career readiness. The day started off with a general welcome of all 400 Potter seventh graders, led by Marivel Rojas, the CSUSM Early Opportunity Program Outreach coordinator.
Next, students were divided into small groups for an extensive campus tour led by current CSUSM student ambassadors including visits to classrooms, the library, computer labs, the bookstore and the student union. The college students also shared their personal stories of their path to college, majors of study, and extracurricular involvements.
Additionally, the Potter students sat in lecture halls for a presentation regarding college entrance requirements, financial aid, campus life and ways to prepare for college. Student Yerry Mendez said the trip helped him understand that “if you go to college it will lead you to the right pathway,” and Alyssa Ware learned that “if you work hard you can go far in life.”
The campus visit was one of many events for College Month at Potter Junior High School. Additional activities included college apparel dress up days, multiple “I’m Going to College!” lunch presentations, and a “College: Making it Happen” family workshop during Potter’s Open House.
The CSUSM trip will be scheduled annually for seventh graders, in partnership with the Early Opportunity Program at CSUSM. The college visit promotes the guaranteed admissions agreement between Fallbrook High School and Cal State San Marcos, entitled CSUSM 4 U!, and also aligns with the Fallbrook Union Elementary School District’s goal of preparing all students to be college bound.

Towards integrated modelling of atmospheric composition: approach of
the SILAM system.
M.Sofiev, J.Vira, M.Prank, J.Soares, R.Kouznetsov, P.Siljamo, J.Kukkonen
The paper presents the new generation of the System for Integrated
modeLling of Atmospheric coMposition SILAM. The new v.5 of the system
includes 5 transformation modules: CMB-based gas-phase, original scheme
for heterogeneous transformations, linearised scheme for sulphur
oxides, generalised degradation of an abstract tracer, and radioactive
decay. Two original transformation schemes for aerosols - the
equilibrium-based and the basic aerosol dynamics - are connected with
the sectional and modal representations of particle size spectrum and
with chemical transformation routines. The list of source terms
includes point and area emission source types for anthropogenic
inventories, nuclear bomb explosion, as well as the emission sub-models
for biogenic VOC, allergenic pollen, sea salt.
The model includes two sub-systems for the data assimilation: 3D- and
4D-VAR, which allow the system initialization from the observations,
dynamic adjustment of the computations to the available data, and
enable identification or adjustment of source characteristics. The
adjoints to the system transport and some chemical modules can be used
for analysis of the observational results.
The meteorological pre-processor and transport modules allow for the
application scales ranging from global down to beta-meso scale with
spatial resolution varying from degrees up to 1 km.
The system is being evaluated against available chemical and aerosol
observations in Europe and over the globe and is used for operational
forecasting of air quality in several on-going projects.


One of the world’s leading digital public sectors has signalled its intentions for the future. That future is technology innovation according to the Government Digital Service (GDS), the United Kingdom’s Whole-of-Government (WofG) digital transformation agency which released its

Tuesday was my day off. I planned this dinner knowing that bf would be tired and just wanted a hot meal.
it is quick and simple. filling. delicious. those are the best meals right?
I made a quick salad. cut up some vegetables, spinach, and romaine leaves. tossed with Italian dressing and put some croutons in.
I started the noodles. I used creamy garlic yogurt dressing for the sauce. yes, this is for salad but it goes so good on noodles. 🙂
the pork loin was seasoned very minimally. I just used Cajun seasoning. I’m not sure what exactly in this seasoning, other than it is good.

Layers of illusions are burned away and all Paul has left is reality. On the other hand, some critics claim that the flowers capture the fantasy world Paul envisions. Similarly to how snow falls and then eventually melts away, the love that grew within the couple eventually melted away as well. Beattie chooses to end the story with the final symbol of snow once again as if to say the love was scrapped away, leaving behind nothing— true.

It's back: Unlikely abortion insurance bill returns to Legislature
Over a dozen people testified at a public hearing Monday before lawmakers in the House Health Care Committee either for or against a measure that would require abortion coverage in most health plans.
For the third year in a row, the tweaked bill sponsored primarily by committee Chairwoman Eileen Cody (D-West Seattle) is back on the legislative agenda. Commonly referred to as the Reproductive Parity Act, HB 2148 would require health plans that provide maternity care benefits to also provide abortion coverage. There is concern that once new health insurance rules take effect under the Affordable Care Act, insurers may drop abortion coverage.
“Abortion is a complex and personal decision, and all the more reason why it is not a decision to be made by an insurance carrier,” said Elaine Rose, CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest.
According to Rep. Shelly Short (R-Addy), only two plans offered under the Washington state health exchange currently don’t offer coverage for pregnancy terminations as part of maternity care benefits. Both are federal insurance plans available in every county.
“We have not heard of one instance of one individual being denied access to abortion services as a result of lack of insurance or public programs,” said Rep. Jay Rodne (R-North Bend). “This really is about protecting the free exercise of religion.”
The bill maintains a state statute that exempts religiously sponsored health care providers that do not wish to cover a health service on the basis of their religious beliefs. But opponents of the bill fear this does not go far enough to protect First Amendment rights to religion.

Over the past four decades, there have been hundreds of non-fiction books written about all aspects of Star Wars: making-of stories, behind-the-scenes accounts, scholarly analyses, picture books, encyclopedias, biographies, and so on. While this gives the impression that everything that could possibly be said about Star Wars has been said, there’s always a new text that shines a new light or perspective on the beloved franchise.
Craig Miller’s Star Wars Memories: My Time in the (Death Star) Trenches is one such book that proffers new illumination on Star Wars, specifically around The Empire Strikes Back. Miller, who worked at Lucasfilm from 1977 (shortly after the original film had been released) to 1980 (the Friday after The Empire Strikes Back was released) as the Director of Fan Relations, brings in a unique and fresh perspective by offering personal anecdotes during his tenure at the company.
While at Lucasfilm, Miller performed a variety of roles to not only help promote Star Wars, but to keep fans informed and engaged. This included traveling the world to different genre conventions giving presentations on Star Wars, creating the official Star Wars fan club and associated Bantha Tracks newsletter, setting up a 1-800 number to promote The Empire Strikes Back (that subsequently brought AT&T down to their knees), and penning press material. Miller provides insight into these tasks, such as how fan mail was handled, how he dealt with movie theaters that were reluctant to show/promote Star Wars, how genre conventions operated back in the day, and how production worked when Star Wars characters appeared in other avenues such as the beoved children’s program, Sesame Street, and TV commercials. He also provides great insight into Lucasfilm company culture and office politics at the time, as the company’s offices moved about and brought in new personnel in response to Star Wars becoming a behemoth.
In addition to corporate stories, Miller peppers Star Wars Memories with personal and amusing stories, such as pranking Mark Hamill with a death scene, fielding convention questions such as, “What happens to the Star Wars opening crawl as it flies into space?”, playing Asteroids against Steven Spielberg much to the chagrin of his assistant, and making a parody radio announcement about his boss, Sid Ganis. Miller even devotes a few sections to activities outside Star Wars, such as developing promotion of the cult horror film, The Wicker Man.
Welcome additions to Star Wars Memories are interviews that Miller conducted with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Anthony Daniels, and George Lucas. Originally recorded on tape to be used as part of Bantha Tracks, Miller found his forty-year-old tapes and had them salvaged, transcribed, and presented in his book. Ford’s and Daniels’ interviews are the two biggest highlights, both being extremely in-depth and detailed with each actor diving into what it was like working on Star Wars and playing their characters.
If there are any recommendations to strengthen Star Wars Memories, there would be only two. First would be to devote a passage or two as to why Miller chose to leave Lucasfilm. While Miller spends time providing insight into his other adventures, projects, and accomplishments post his employment at Lucasfilm, the big mystery as to his departure remains absent from Star Wars Memories. Secondly (and easily fixed in the instance of a second edition) would be employing an editor to solve any pesky grammatical issues found within the volume.
Despite these two recommendations, Miller’s book is a quintessential text for a Star Wars library, and its timely publication during the release the sequel trilogy couldn’t be more fortuitous. With the release of the last three Star Wars films (The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker), Star Wars fandom has become increasingly divided, with a minor, yet vocal, segment acting as gatekeepers, harassers of cast and crew, and doing other counterproductive (or outright nefarious) activities. Miller’s book underscores the importance of fandom in Star Wars, and in its own way, acts as a call to a return to positive aspects of fan culture: having fun, enjoying the movie, sharing them with others, and being supportive of others and the films. Star Wars Memories both reinvigorates being a Star Wars fan while at the same time providing a new and unique perspective to Star Wars/Lucasfilm history.

text: Cdx homeodomain transcription factors have multiple roles in early vertebrate development. Furthermore, mis-regulation of Cdx expression has been demonstrated in metaplasias and cancers of the gut epithelium. Given the importance of Cdx genes in development and disease, the mechanisms underlying their expression are of considerable interest. We report an analysis of the upstream regulatory regions from the amphibian Xenopus laevis Cdx4 gene. We show that a GFP reporter containing 2.8 kb upstream of the transcription start site is expressed in the posterior of transgenic embryos. Deletion analysis of the upstream sequence reveals that a 247-bp proximal promoter fragment will drive posterior expression in transgenic embryos. We show that 63 bp of upstream sequence, that includes a consensus site for POU-domain octamer-binding proteins, retains significant promoter activity. Co-expression of the octamer-binding protein Oct1 induces expression from a Cdx4 reporter and mutation of the octamer site abolishes activity of the same reporter. We show that the octamer site is highly conserved in the promoters of the human, mouse, chicken, and zebrafish Cdx4 genes and within the promoters of amphibian Cdx1 and Cdx2. These data suggest a conserved function for octamer-binding proteins in the regulation of Cdx family members.

Bobby Moore grew up in rural Northwest Georgia surrounded by country, bluegrass, and gospel music. Like a backslidden Baptist, he distanced himself from his upbringing for the longest time, turning his attention to underground rock ‘n’ roll. Moore first rediscovered his musical roots as a public history graduate student (University of West Georgia, 2011). As an intern with the Georgia Humanities Council, he helped plan a Georgia tour of the Smithsonian’s travelling New Harmonies exhibit. He’s since become an Atlanta-based freelance writer and dreams of working in Nashville as a public historian.

The Ruger Bisley Vaquero is a large-frame single-action revolver chambered in .357 Mag. and .45 Colt. The Bisley Vaquero shares a similar design with the standard Vaquero revolver, a competitive cowboy gun introduced in 1993 (“vaquero” actually means cowboy in Spanish), but it has a few different features.
Ruger’s Bisley revolvers tend to have longer standard barrel lengths and high-end grips. The Bisley Vaquero’s barrel is 5.5″, about an inch longer than the standard model, and has Ivory grips. The Bisley Vaquero gets its name from the notable Bisley rifle range located in Surrey, England. Surrey is the current home of the UK’s National Rifle Association.
The Vaquero is equipped with features that are supposed to give it an authentic cowboy feel like a notch rear sight that looks like a groove and a fixed front sight, a pre-1962 steel grip frame, and a crescent shaped ejector rod.
Otherwise the Vaquero features high-gloss stainless steel construction. The Vaquero is equipped with an internal lock located beneath the right grip panel. Another up-to-date safety feature is the transfer bar, which allows users to carry the weapon fully loaded because the bar blocks the hammer from striking the firing pin if the weapon is dropped. However, users of the Vaquero have commonly complained of transfer bar failures and breaks.
Ruger recommends the Bisley Vaquero for competitive cowboy shooting.

Oh, No! Finley’s Grill Has Closed, Casualty of Covid, Pandemic
Finley's Grill and Smokehouse is closing its West Main Street restaurant location immediately, a victim of falling sales due to the Covid pandemic.
From its Facebook post this morning,
To our valued guests,
We are sad to announce that due to the Covid-19 pandemic and declined sales we are permanently closing our Kalamazoo Finley's immediately. We appreciate all of your support for all of these years and sorry that we have to end this way. We are doing our best to offer positions to any employees who wish to continue with us at our Battle Creek location which will remain open and also continues to be our home base for all catering services. We will continue to service the Kalamazoo and southwest MI area with our catering services.
The restaurant, part of a chain headquartered in Grand Rapids, is it's second to close this year, due directly to the pandemic. Finley's closed it's Lansing location in May. The Facebook post says the Battle Creek location on Columbia Avenue will remain open, and that catering services for Kalamazoo and Battle Creek will continue to operate and be consolidated in Battle Creek. The post says Finley's is trying to offer positions to displaced workers in Battle Creek.
Finley started out as Mr. Steak, based in Colorado, in 1962. After a series of financial setbacks, the company was purchased from bankruptcy. The Michigan locations became Finley's American Grill in the early 1990's, then re-branded as Finley's Grill and Smokehouse some years later.

Build an unmanned aircraft that will outnumber the flight time and other characteristics of all known unmanned aerial vehicles of similar category.
Being experienced in developing both software and hardware for UAVs, CPCS team has decided to take on the challenge of building an unmanned aircraft that can stay aloft for up to 12 hours following its designated route.
As of September 2019, the project named Solar Bird has been in its active development stage.
Our Solar Bird possesses the following characteristics:
Solar Bird’s components and materials are as follows:
Solar Bird’s capabilities include but are not limited to:
The current version of Solar Bird runs on lithium-polymer batteries with the capability to stay aloft for 2.5 hours. In one of the next releases, we are replacing that with solar batteries and our unique power management controller. This solution will enable Solar Bird to stay aloft for 8-12 hours.
Other roadmap milestones
We also plan to replace Solar Bird’s current 3-channel radio control system with a single-board computer.
To enable online and offline work for remote activities, our coming-soon solution will use satellite receivers of local mobile operators.
Stay tuned for more coming features!
CPCS team has developed, assembled and tested Solar Bird, an unmanned aircraft. The next release of the UAV will be powered by sunlight. This in turn will allow our Solar Bird to stay in the air much longer than traditional production models.
The product is made of lightweight composite materials. Numerous aerodynamic calculations have allowed us to achieve the maximum energy efficiency. The unique feature of Solar Bird is its maximum power point tracking charge controller. The MPPT controller monitors the whole power system to improve solar charging capabilities and enable longer flights.
Functionally speaking, Solar Bird’s areas of application include:
At this stage, Solar Bird product has been successfully tested and is ready for commercial usage (ready-to-fly stage).

Chook & Sosig: Walk The Plank is a lighthearted hand-drawn point and click adventure that follows the adventures of Chook (a ghost chicken) and Sosig (a wobbly spaghetti cat) as they roleplay as pirates and hunt for treasure.
You may remember Chook & Sosig from their earlier free point and click adventures, such as Chook & Sosig Hit the Club and Chook & Sosig: Long Weekend (Both of which we highly recommend checking out). Chook & Sosig: Walk The Plank looks set to expand on the Chook & Sosig universe with a larger game world to explore, more quirky characters to chat to, tricky puzzles, a funky soundtrack and multiple endings (all of which sound pretty far out!)
It’s a fantastic looking game that promises fun times, oddball characters and and lots of whimsical humor as you join Chook & Sosig on their treasure-hunting pirate adventure. It’s always a delight to spend some time in the weird and wonderful world of Chook & Sosig, and Walk The Plank will be their biggest adventure yet. Sign up for the Beta to join in the treasure hunting fun.

The Executive Director for Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), Edmund Yakani, is appealing to the presidency to commission a roundtable to allow the people to canvass matters of elections.
According to the press statement seen by the City Review yesterday, Yakani stated that his organization noted a call from citizens to their leaders asking them to accord them a venue for free deliberation to reach an agreement point.
He added that as politicians continue to disagree on whether there will be an election or not, citizens continue to sink into a state of dilemma.
However, Yakani said the deliberation is much more overdue as far as addressing the challenges of the election dilemma is concerned.
“Citizens are appealing to the Presidency to commission a national stakeholders and political actors’ roundtable that aims at generating national consciousness for the conduct of elections by December 2024,” Yakani said.
He said the roundtable would allow the public to understand the laws surrounding the 2024 election.
Yakani added that interpretation of the law, operationalization of the law, and participation of r groups such as people with disabilities, youth, and women, among others, would be part of the discussions.
“Creation of local security because people feel there are cases of insecurity and the question of unification of forces is still a serious matter,” he said.
He resisted the need for the Presidency to reconstitute the commission of roundtables for the 2024 election to generate answers.
The activist stated that it would give way to knowing whether there will be an election or not and, in case it is not, what should be done.
“I would like to appeal to the President to respond to those citizens and reconstitute the commission,” he said.
The post Activist tosses roundtable idea to solve 2024 poll dilemma appeared first on The City Review South Sudan.


We describe a type of scanning electron microscope that works by directly imaging the electron field-emission sites on a nanotip. Electrons are extracted from the nanotip through a nanoscale aperture, accelerated in a high electric field, and focused to a spot using a microscale Einzel lens. If the whole microscope (accelerating section and lens) and the focal length are both restricted in size to below 10 μm, then computer simulations show that the effects of aberration are extremely small and it is possible to have a system with approximately unit magnification at electron energies as low as 300 eV. Thus a typical emission site of 1 nm diameter will produce an image of the same size, and an atomic emission site will give a resolution of 0.1-0.2 nm (1-2 Å). Also, because the beam is not allowed to expand beyond 100 nm in diameter, the depth of field is large and the contribution to the beam spot size from chromatic aberrations is less than 0.02 nm (0.2 Å) for 500 eV electrons. Since it is now entirely possible to make stable atomic sized emitters (nanopyramids), it is expected that this instrument will have atomic resolution. Furthermore the brightness of the beam is determined only by the field emission and can be up to 1× 106 times larger than in a typical (high energy) electron microscope. The advantages of this low energy, bright-beam electron microscope with atomic resolution are described and include the possibility of it being used to rapidly sequence the human genome from a single strand of DNA as well as being able to identify atomic species directly from the elastic scattering of electrons.

How’s that Iran Deal working out there, Mr. President?
Via Fox News:
Iran threatened to shoot down two US Navy surveillance aircraft flying close to Iranian territory in the Persian Gulf over the weekend, the latest in a series of recent provocations between Iran and the US military in the region, three US defense officials with knowledge of the incident told Fox News.
On Sept. 10, a Navy P-8 Poseidon with a crew of nine and an EP-3 Eries with a crew of roughly 24, were flying a reconnaissance mission 13 miles off the coast of Iran, through the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman, according to officials who call the boundary Iran’s “black line.”
Iran’s territorial waters—like all nations–extend 12 miles into the sea, according to international maritime law.
At some point during the flight, the Iranian military warned the two aircraft to change course or risk getting shot down.

Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy XVI, has revealed that development of the game is in “the final stretch”. Yoshida-san did not reveal anything else about the development stage but he has reaffirmed his comments about the story, saying that he hopes it can bring back people that grew up playing Final Fantasy games.
Final Fantasy XVI is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, more details about the game will be shared in the Spring of 2022.
Here’s what Yoshida-san had to say:
Currently, development on the latest title, Final Fantasy XVI, is in the final stretch. As a single-player game, Final Fantasy XVI aims to unify the story and gameplay experience. Unlike online games, which portrays multiple players at once, Final Fantasy XVI has an individual focus, which makes the story more immersive. And I think the story has become quite deep. My hope is that the adults who have grown up, understand the rules of society, and drifted away from Final Fantasy thinking ‘the real world isn’t as easy as a video game’ can remember the enthusiasm they had back then. That’s what we’re keeping in mind as we make this game.

They Wish To have more methods to decide initially who the best people are.”

To find that “right people,” people might need an extra nudge to assist them connect to fits not in the standard swipe appropriate, swipe remaining activity they’ve become familiar with. Hence’s where Hot Takes, an innovative new interactive texting element, comes into play.
The software is constructing off its success from Swipe nights, a choose-your-own-adventure virtual miniseries that put over 20 million users on an “apocalyptic adventure” together with all of them create conclusion — eg if they would include for a pal that has cheated on their companion — to advance the storyline at crucial minutes. Those behavior happened to be then included with their unique profiles being fodder for discussions and generated a 26 per cent upsurge in suits, according to Lanzone.
With Hot Takes, which launches on Tuesday, customers will receive having a conversation together with other possible matches — before they officially complement together. As long as they choose to play the online game, consumers will choose from a collection of feedback to opinion-inducing prompts, instance, “If you do this, you can’t become dependable…” or “The besthookupwebsites.org/nudist-dating/ worst thing you can writing someone is…” people will likely then feel paired with someone else on the internet and can begin a low-stakes discussion according to her answers toward same remind. Really the only capture? They’ve have half a minute to chat and decide whether they need to officially accommodate and keep carefully the discussion supposed or allow timer run-out on a flop.

Need to discover some other activists just who display alike beliefs? Love roller-skating and would like to accommodate with someone that can join you on rink?

“It won’t be at first glance,” Lanzone said
“The more you get to know individuals, more you may recognize that … a spark may be indeed there with these people.”
But that’sn’t to state the visual facet of Tinder is going to be fading aside, sometimes. Given that final element unveiled on Tuesday, Tinder was getting a cue from big boost in short-form video clip by permitting people to publish 15-second videos for their pages. The brief video will be alongside the photos that usually appear on a user’s Tinder profile, but they’re designed to provide an eye-catching solution to introduce people one to the other and appeal to Gen Z consumers, which compose half Tinder’s userbase.
Though this could feel like Tinder was edging inside territory of TikTok, Lanzone stated the online dating software just isn’t straying away from their key service or attempting to come to be an “entertainment hub.” As an alternative, as people become more and more desire real associations with romantic partners, Lanzone said Tinder is actually answering how internet dating and human conversation has evolved because of the pandemic — whilst existence has a tendency to go back to some semblance of normality.
“We desire to [make these changes] so that you have significantly more likelihood to meet more folks, a lot more possibilities in order to satisfy the proper people and be able to check out those likelihood if your wanting to have the pressure of meeting in true to life,” Lanzone stated. “Tinder comes with the chance for being far more of a platform than a one-dimensional software, and now we can perform much more in regards to our customers to enable them to achieve success.”

I dare to tell the truth,

Whenever I go to Bistro-to-Go, I feel like all the customers know each other. I often see guys here sitting by themselves on their lunch break, immersed in their lunch. Last week I stopped by here because I was craving their slow cooked food. I started with a cup of their soup du jour which was Mediterranean chickpea and spinach soup. It was very spicy, but I love spicy food especially in the winter. I ordered the Thai Tofu Wrap with peanut sauce, which is the same thing I always get, but very good. Tom had the tuna salad.
The plats du jours are always tempting. On this particular day, they had Croque Monsieur, which transported my senses to those bakeries in France that showcase their fresh-out-of-the-oven sandwiches in the windows.
There are a few tables where you can eat your food if you can't wait to eat it. Frozen food is also for sale if you want to heat up the food later and pretend you made the soupe de poisson yourself. Bistro-to-Go owners, landscape painter Mary Anne Erickson and Chef Richard Erickson, believe in "slow food" cuisine, and take great care in cooking with local farm produce, free-range chickens, and grass-fed beef, and offering gluten-free options too. Don't forget to buy a gluten-free cupcake on the way out!

2013 Unpublished Opinion No. 647
Appeal from the District Court of the Third Judicial District, State of Idaho, Canyon County. Hon. Susan E. Wiebe, District Judge.
Sara B. Thomas, State Appellate Public Defender; Justin M. Curtis, Deputy Appellate Public Defender, Boise, for appellant.
Hon. Lawrence G. Wasden, Attorney General; Lori A. Fleming, Deputy Attorney General, Boise, for respondent.
Before GUTIERREZ, Chief Judge; LANSING, Judge; and GRATTON, Judge
Dewayne Joaquin Rusco was convicted of felony operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, Idaho Code §§ 18-8004, 18-8005. The district court sentenced Rusco to a unified term of eight years with a minimum period of confinement of three years and retained jurisdiction. On April 5, 2012, the court relinquished jurisdiction without a hearing and ordered execution of Rusco's sentence. The next day, Rusco filed an Idaho Criminal Rule 35 motion for reduction of his sentence, which was denied on July 16, 2012. Rusco filed a notice of appeal on August 3. On appeal, he challenges only the district court's decision to relinquish jurisdiction.
Rusco's appeal is untimely to challenge the April 5, 2012, order relinquishing jurisdiction. Under Idaho Appellate Rule 14(a), Rusco had forty-two days from the date of the order relinquishing jurisdiction within which to file an appeal. A Rule 35 motion for reduction of a sentence can extend the time for filing an appeal only if the motion was filed within fourteen days of entry of the judgment. I.A.R. 14; State v. Thomas, 146 Idaho 592, 593, 199 P.3d 769, 770 (2008); State v. Yeaton, 121 Idaho 1018, 1019, 829 P.2d 1367, 1368 (Ct. App. 1992).
Rusco argues that his appeal is timely because I.A.R. 14(a) provides that if the court retains jurisdiction, "the length of time to file an appeal from the sentence contained in the original judgment shall be enlarged by the length of time between entry of the judgment of conviction and entry of the order relinquishing jurisdiction or placing the defendant on probation." Rusco argues that under this provision, an order relinquishing jurisdiction is "essentially the same as the judgment, " so his Rule 35 motion extended the appeal deadline. Rusco's interpretation is without merit. This provision of Rule 14(a) tolls the time for an appeal of the sentence imposed in the original judgment; it does not transform an order relinquishing jurisdiction into a "judgment."
Because the requirement of perfecting an appeal within time limits specified in Rule 14 is jurisdictional, any appeal taken after expiration of that time must be dismissed. Thomas, 146 Idaho at 594, 199 P.3d at 771; State v. Tucker, 103 Idaho 885, 888, 655 P.2d 92, 95 (Ct. App. 1982). Therefore, this ...

Cape Canaveral, Florida: NASA’s experimental helicopter Ingenuity rose into the thin air above the dusty red surface of Mars on Monday, achieving the first powered flight by an aircraft on another planet.
The triumph was hailed as a Wright Brothers moment. The mini 1.8-kilogram copter even carried a bit of wing fabric from the 1903 Wright Flyer, which made similar history at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

“Altimeter data confirms that Ingenuity has performed its first flight, the first flight of a powered aircraft on another planet,” said the helicopter’s chief pilot back on Earth, Havard Grip, his voice breaking as his teammates erupted in applause.
It was a brief hop – just 39 seconds – but accomplished all the major milestones.
Project manager MiMi Aung was jubilant as she ripped up the papers holding the plan in case the flight had failed. “We’ve been talking so long about our Wright Brothers moment, and here it is,” she said.
Flight controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California declared success after receiving the data and images via the Perseverance rover, which stood watch more than 65 metres away. Ingenuity hitched a ride to Mars on Perseverance, clinging to the rover’s belly upon their arrival in an ancient river delta in February.
The $US85 million helicopter demo was considered high risk, yet high reward. “Each world gets only one first flight,” Aung observed earlier this month.

“While these two iconic moments in aviation history may be separated by time and 173 million miles of space, they now will forever be linked,” NASA’s science missions chief Thomas Zurbuchen announced.
The little chopper with a giant job attracted attention from around the world, from the moment it launched with Perseverance last July. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger joined in the fun, rooting for Ingenuity over the weekend via Twitter. “Get to the chopper!” he shouted, re-enacting a line from his 1987 sci-fi film Predator.
Up to five helicopter flights are planned, each one increasingly ambitious. If successful, the demo could lead the way to a fleet of Martian drones in decades to come, providing aerial views, transporting packages and serving as scouts for astronauts. High-altitude helicopters here on Earth could also benefit – imagine choppers easily navigating the Himalayas.
“This gives us amazing hope for all of humanity,” Zurbuchen tweeted. Indeed, JPL’s mantra, “Dare Mighty Things,” was printed on a wall of the control room.
Ingenuity’s team has until the beginning of May to complete the test flights. That’s because the rover needs to get on with its main mission: collecting rock samples that could hold evidence of past Martian life, for return to Earth a decade from now.
Until then, Perseverance will keep watch over Ingenuity. Flight engineers affectionately call them Percy and Ginny. “Big sister’s watching,” said Malin Space Science Systems’ Elsa Jensen, the rover’s lead camera operator.
