This, the fourth album from these two Paris-based musicians, is a combination of squashy-soft jazz guitar and needle-pointed Vietnamese voice, all angles and prisms. Huong Thanh sings, Nguyen Le's guitar picks up the tune, reflects on it, elaborates, and so it goes. It’s a collaboration that has been received well in the past, but to me the two tones, soft and sharp, feel uncomfortable together, as if, despite the sympathy between them, they're constantly pulling in different directions. When Thanh sings without the guitar in "The Pavillion of Crystallized Azu" it's as if she's been rescued from a sea of damp mousse. Her precision sits better with the classical strings on "Faithfulness" and the background pops and trills of "At Dusk, From the West Balcony." This is one of those tricky albums -- I can tell that it's objectively good, that Thanh is a beautiful, skilful singer and that if squashy jazz guitars need to be noodled then Le is the man to noodle them, but the music, no matter how well-executed, makes me wish that we could ditch him and partner her forever with the other instruments instead.
To be a migrant worker in America is to relearn the basic skills of living. Imagine doing that in your 60s and 70s, when you thought you'd be retired.

There's been much hand-wringing over the state of the American economy in recent years. After the 2008 financial crisis upended middle-class families, we now live with regular media reports of recovery and growth -- as well as rising inequality and decreased social mobility. We ponder what kind of future we're creating for our children, while generally failing to consider who has already fallen between the gaps.
Guitarist and band leader Gary Lucas and veteran vocalist Nona Hendryx pay tribute to one of rock's originals in this interview with PopMatters.
From the opening bars of "Suction Prints", we knew we had entered The World of Captain Beefheart and that was exactly where we wanted to be. There it was, that unmistakable fast 'n bulbous sound, the sudden shifts of meter and tempo, the slithery and stinging slide guitar in tandem with propulsive bass, the polyrhythmic drumming giving the music a swing unlike any other rock band.
Very few of their peers surpass Eurythmics in terms of artistic vision, musicianship, songwriting, and creative audacity. This is the history of the seminal new wave group
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee's yearly announcement of the latest batch of potential inductees always generates the same reaction: a combination of sputtering outrage by fans of those deserving artists who've been shunned, and jubilation by fans of those who made the cut. The annual debate over the list of nominees is as inevitable as the announcement itself.
From Haircut 100 to his own modern pop stylings, Nick Heyward is loving this new phase of his career, experimenting with genre with the giddy glee of a true pop music nerd.
In 1982, Nick Heyward was a major star in the UK.
As the leader of pop sensations Haircut 100, he found himself loved by every teenage girl in the land. It's easy to see why, as Haircut 100 were a group of chaps so wholesome, they could have stepped from the pages of Lisa Simpson's "Non-Threatening Boys" magazine. They resembled a Benetton knitwear advert and played a type of quirky, pop-funk that propelled them into every transistor radio in Great Britain.
This book offers a poignant and jarring reminder not just of the resilience of the human spirit, but also of its ability to seek solace in the materiality of one's present.
Marcelino Truong launched his autobiographical account of growing up in Saigon during the Vietnam War with the acclaimed graphic novel
Such a Lovely Little War: Saigon 1961-63, originally published in French in 2012 and in English translation in 2016. That book concluded with his family's permanent relocation to London, England, as the chaos and bloodshed back home intensified.
Now Truong continues the tale with Saigon Calling: London 1963-75 (originally published in French in 2015), which follows the experiences of his family after they seek refuge in Europe. It offers a poignant illustration of what life was like for a family of refugees from the war, and from the perspective of young children (granted, Truong's family were a privileged and upper class set of refugees, well-connected with South Vietnamese and European elites). While relatives and friends struggle to survive amid the bombs and street warfare of Vietnam, the displaced narrator and his siblings find their attention consumed by the latest fashion and music trends in London. The book offers a poignant and jarring reminder not just of the resilience of the human spirit, but also of its ability to seek solace in the materiality of one's present.

Control systems assume a constant linear process. Unfortunately, all process variables and control valves are nonlinear to some degree. The response to a given change in the controller output shifts with time, throughput, operating point and plant conditions. The lack of consistency in this response has significant implications for the performance of the process, not only in the tuning of controllers but also in recognizing degradations and achieving optimums.
To put this into context, it is important to realize that controllers are tuned, consciously or subconsciously, based on a tradeoff between performance and robustness. The capability to tightly control at an operating point is inversely proportional to the ability to weather changes in the behavior of the plant without becoming oscillatory. The operating environment for most loops is stormy and the last thing you want is for a control loop to introduce more variability. Consequently, all controllers are detuned (backed off from maximum performance) to some degree to provide a smooth response despite the inevitable changes in the process dynamics. An industrial controller approaches turns cautiously because it doesn;t know what lies ahead.
Figure 1. In plant trials, reactor feedback and feedforward loops were based on pH.
In practice, three parameters are used to provide a first-order-plus-dead-time model of the process dynamics and to capture the essence of the process response. The most important of these is loop dead time, which is the time delay between a change in a manipulated or disturbance variable (process input) and the resultant shift in a controlled variable (process output). If the dead time were zero and the measurement and valve resolution were unlimited, tuning would not be an issue and perfect control would be possible. But dead time always exists and encompasses the inherent delays from plug flow (transportation delays), valves (dead band and stick-slip) and digital devices (scan and execution time intervals) and the secondary lags from mixing, heat transfer, actuator, sensors and volumes in series .
The next most important parameter is process gain, which is the final change in a process output for a given shift in a process input. A high process gain (sensitivity) is desirable because it improves the inference of a process condition from a measurement. A highly sensitive column, evaporator or reactor temperature measurement is important to recognize and control changes in composition. However, a high process gain amplifies the stick-slip in valves and the noise from non-ideal mixing.
The third parameter is the process time constant, which is the time to reach 63% of the final change in a controlled variable after the process has started to move (after the dead time). In plants, this time constant rarely is constant. For a large back-mixed volume, it essentially is the residence time if the secondary lags take a back seat .
Controller tuning settings can be computed from this first-order-plus-dead-time model. The shifts in these parameters reveal changes in the operation, process, equipment, valves and sensors. The size, direction and characteristics of these movements can provide a roadmap, knowledge of the terrain, and a full throttle controller to reach the destination of maximum process efficiency and minimum downtime.
Today;s speed bump
Nearly all adaptive controllers presently used at chemical plants take a relatively long time to observe changes in the process variable before adjusting tuning settings. The tuning rules are embedded and usually unknown to the user. Today;s most common adaptive controller relies on pattern recognition and will, if necessary, increase the controller gain to induce oscillations so it can get a better handle on the maneuverability of the process. The size of the transients or oscillations and the time required for identification can translate into significant process variability and lead to an adaptation rate slower than the rate of change of the process parameters. For example, it may take four or more oscillations each with a period of four hours (thus two shifts) for these adaptive controllers to search and find the best tuning settings for the temperature controller on a distillation column.
Most adaptive controllers are playing catch-up even if they have seen the same situation a thousand times before. At best, these controllers provide a snapshot of the current tuning requirements and no real insight as to where the process has been or where it is going. Also, sudden unexplained shifts in the tuning settings or bursts of oscillations reduce the operator;s confidence and thus lower prospects the controllers will run in the adaptive mode and be used in future applications.
In contrast, the next generation of adaptive controllers will identify a process model quickly and automatically and provide process model parameters that can be displayed, trended and diagnosed. The availability of a suite of tuning methods will enable selection of the method that best matches the process and the plant objectives. Furthermore, these controllers will remember the results for similar conditions, eliminate repetitious identification and take the initiative.
Such a controller, which now has been demonstrated in plant tests, can identify the dead time, process gain and time constant for both manipulated and disturbance variables and save these as a function of a key variable. The user can apply the recommended tuning method or choose an alternative to compute the tuning settings for the current and memorized conditions. When the key variable indicates the process has changed, the tuning then is scheduled based on the process model saved in the operating region. The controller remembers the results from previous excursions and does not wait to recognize old territory. For example, for loops with nonlinear installed valve characteristics and nonlinear controlled variables such as pH, the model and tuning is scheduled based on the controller output and input, respectively.
Totalized feed determines model and tuning schedules for changes in the fouling of column trays, heat transfer surfaces and sensors and in catalyst activity. The controller takes preemptive action based on operating region and in so doing refines its knowledge of the process model. Changes in these models can flag shifts in system flow resistances and compositions.
The controller computes the integrated squared error (ISE) between the model and the process output for changes in each of three model parameters from the last best value. Exploring all combinations of three values (low, middle and high) for the three parameters requires a total of 27 models. The correction in each model parameter is interpolated by the application of weighting factors that are based on the ISE for each model normalized to a total ISE for all the models over the period of interest. After the best values are computed for each parameter, they are assigned as the middle values for the next iteration . This model switching with interpolation and recentering has been proved mathematically to provide an optimum approach to the correct model . The search is done sequentially first for the process gain, then the dead time and finally the time constant which reduces the number of models to nine that must be evaluated at any given time . The sidebar shows the graphical concept to find the best process gain and the equations of parameter evaluation and interpolation in the adaptation algorithm.
Implementation of the adaptive control, via the control system;s graphical configuration studio, simply involves selecting a disturbance variable for feedforward action and choosing the state variables and number of regions for scheduling the feedback and feedforward models. The identification time interval and model parameters and limits are initialized based on the existing tuning settings. The controller starts in the observe mode, where it will continuously and automatically identify the process model when it sees changes in the controller;s setpoint, output or feedforward action.
The controller also can be switched to the learn mode, where it will update the feedback and feedforward process models in each region with an excursion. In addition, a schedule mode allows the controller to use the models in each region to change its settings. The highest level is the adapt mode, where the adaptive controller immediately uses any identified improvements.
The test drive
The adaptive controller was tested on the reactor shown in Figure 1, where the ratio of base to acid reactants determines the degree of polymerization of the product. As a sensitive measure of this ratio, pH is used to manipulate the valve for the base reactant. The acid feed is the thickened slurry discharge of a centrifuge after it passes through a diverter that splits the flow between the reactor and a dryer on a time basis. The feed to the centrifuge is the bottoms flow from a hydroclone. Manipulation of the outlet temperature from a heat exchanger in the recirculation line controls the vessel temperature. There actually are two heat exchangers in parallel, with individual temperature controllers reset by the reactor temperature controller. Adjustment of a discharge flow controller setpoint controls the level. The mass flow feed to the hydroclone multiplied by the proper fraction of splitter time was added as a feedforward signal to the pH and level controller outputs and the base valve position was added as a feedforward signal to the temperature controller output.
Figure 2. The adaptive controller pinpointed three distinct regions for gain for pH control.
The pH process gain was a nonlinear function of the pH operating point. The setpoint was on a relatively flat portion of the titration curve but disturbances could cause excursions into a much steeper upper portion near the neutral point. After selecting pH as the state variable for scheduling the feedback and feedforward process models, the adaptive pH controller identified three regions, as shown in Figure 2, that reflect the changes in slope of the titration curve in the operating range. The feedback models were determined from setpoint changes. The feedforward process models were identified, as shown in Figure 3, whenever there was a sufficient change in the disturbance variable caused by a shift in the fraction of the splitter cycle time to the reactor.
Figure 3. The controller identified this adaptation of the model for changes int he fraction of splitter time.
Because the feedforward signal for the temperature controller is a valve position, the feedforward model gain was scheduled based on pH controller output.
The adaptive controller, through identifying changes made during the normal course of operation, improved the tuning of the level, pH and temperature loops. The controller responses before and after adaptive control was implemented are shown in Figures 4 and 5, respectively.
Figure 4. Prior to use of adaptive control, reactor loops responded poorly to a feed upset.
Just as important as the improvement in the tuning settings was the diagnosis of problems allowed by the process models. A dramatic reduction in the process gain of the secondary temperature loop for exchanger A was linked to an increase in the system resistance. It was found that the coolant block valves had been partially closed because poor temperature control in the winter caused exchanger frosting. The essentially zero gain of the secondary temperature loop for exchanger B (not shown in Figure 1) corresponded to a broken linkage in a butterfly valve. An increase in the pH oscillations from the cycle time of the splitter was attributed to cleaner electrodes due to an increase in the recirculation flow rate. The flow control valve also had an insufficient pressure drop available to provide more than half the scale of the discharge flow controller. Dips in the flow measurement followed by a burst of flow after the valve opening increased were surmised to be caused by the intermittent plugging and sloughing of cake in the valve and to indicate an increase in slurry concentration. Finally, changes in the hydroclone efficiency appeared to be based on shifts in the feedforward-model process gain for the pH controller.
Figure 5. Response to a feed upset has dramatically improved thanks to the adaptive controller.
Back to the future
This new generation of adaptive controller allows all PID (proportional-integral-derivative) loops to run in the adaptive mode, with process model parameters saved in a data historian and analyzed for shifts in the plant, sensors and valves. The information on changes in the process model may be directly used to monitor loop performance and to provide more intelligent diagnostics. The models can supply the dynamics for simulations and identify candidates for feedforward control and advanced control techniques. For example, loops dominated by dead time or exhibiting disturbance models for multiple variables are candidates for model predictive control . Feedforward models of compositions could be used for dynamic online property estimators and loops dominated by a single large time constant could benefit from Fuzzy Logic Control . The dynamic process models can serve to create or adapt real-time simulations for prototyping new control strategies, exploring what if scenarios and training operators . Process gains that decrease or time constants that increase with feed totals (e.g., reflecting the need for cleaning or catalyst deactivation) are ripe for real-time optimization of the run time.
The beauty of this route is that the models and tuning settings are available from the adaptive controller for a higher level of control through a better knowledge of the topology.

Suction piping requirements
SUCTION PIPING REQUIREMENTS S118
You must do three things to avoid problems:
- Eliminate air entrainment in the liquid,
- Minimize friction loss, provide straight and uniform flow at the pump inlet
- Avoid excessive forces due to pipe strains at the pump.
All inlet (suction) fitting joints should be tight, especially when the pressure in the piping is below atmospheric, to preclude air leaking into the fluid.
- Any valves in the inlet (suction) line should be installed with stems horizontal to eliminate the possibility of air accumulation. For pumps operating with a suction lift, the inlet (suction) line should slope constantly upwards toward the pump, with a minimum slope of 1 percent.
As liquid travels through a piping network, entrained air tends to rise to the highest point. If the pipeline slopes upward, then the velocity of the liquid will move the air bubbles towards this high point.
- If the pipeline is fairly flat and the inside surface of the pipe is very rough, or the pipeline slopes downward, the fluid velocity may not be sufficient to keep the air bubbles moving.
- It is possible for a pocket of air to collect at high points and gradually reduce the effective liquid flow area, which can create a throttling effect similar to a partially closed valve.
The suction pipe should be at least as large as the pump suction nozzle.
- A larger size is desireable. Make sure the reducer is not installed upside down.
- Valves and other flow-disturbing fittings located in pump inlet (suction) piping should be at least one pipe size larger than the pump inlet (suction) nozzle, with the exception of continuous-bore, 100 percent open valves (such as full-ported ball valves).
- The maximum velocity at any point in the inlet (suction) piping is 8-ft/s. For fluids close to the vapor pressure, the velocity must be kept low enough to avoid flashing (cavitation) of the liquid in the piping, especially when fittings are present.
The most disturbing flow patterns to a pump are those that result from swirling liquid that has traversed several changes of direction in various planes.
- Liquid in the inlet (suction) pipe should approach the pump in a state of straight steady flow.
- When fittings, such as tees and elbows (especially two elbows at right angles), are located too close to the pump inlet (suction), a spinning action, or swirl, is induced.
- This swirl may adversely affect pump performance by reducing efficiency, head, and NPSH available, and potentially causing noise, vibration, and damage.
- It is recommended that a single uninterrupted section of pipe be installed between the pump and the nearest fitting to allow the flow to straighten itself.
The suction pipe design must also be designed and built to minimize forces or strains on the pump suction nozzle.
- The pump must not be used as an anchor to close gaps due to construction errors or to withstand forces from pipe expansion due to temperature changes during operation.

BRENDAN RODGERS has told his Celtic players that anyone showing complacency won’t have a future under him at Parkhead.
The reigning champions would open up a 17-point lead were they to win their three games in hand — a scenario that could see them retain their sixth successive crown by a record margin early next year.
But, despite the widening gap that appears to exist between his side and the rest of Scottish football, the Irishman insists his players will continue to strive to improve.
He said: “We’ve made a good start, but we have been looking this week at how we can be better. We set out goals at the start of the season and those goals are not met after 11 games.
“We’ve got a series of targets we need to meet and to do that there are certain facets we need to improve. This is about raising the standard of everything — on and off the field — and to do that you keep chipping away every day.
“If you want to be complacent, then you won’t be here. You can’t release yourself from the pressure if you want to be the best.
“There’ s always pressure, but it’s a nice pressure, to improve your status and improve as a player.

November-like temperatures settle in this weekend along with dry conditions. After a mild stretch we return to the norm for the time being. Our highs will be stuck in the 40’s on Saturday with a breezy northwest wind making it feel even colder at times. An area of high pressure further strengthen on Sunday returning us to more tranquil conditions with a slight bump in temperature along with less wind. Here’s a look at the temperature trend through the middle of the holiday week:
Looking ahead….our next weather maker arrives Tuesday, and it will be a sloppy setup. Depending on how much cold air is in place we could see some snow or a wintry mix during the start of the storm then transitioning over to a cold rain during the day. As of now prepare for tricky weather on Tuesday if you are traveling. Things should greatly improve on Wednesday and then turns much colder on Thanksgiving with highs in the 30’s and 40’s.
The pattern has officially flipped and this means colder conditions along with a more active storm track through Pennsylvania. Be weather ready the remainder of November!

All About Food
One of the most important parts of caring for your kitten(s) is to provide them with the best quality food possible. Some kitties can be super picky, so you may need to try different brands, consistencies, and types of food until you find something that your kitty likes to eat. Some of my favorite brands of kitten food are:
Royal Canin Mother & Babycat wet food (up to 4 months old)
Royal Canin Kitten wet and dry food (4-12 months)
Blue Buffalo Healthy Gourmet Kitten wet food**
Blue Buffalo Healthy Growth Kitten dry food
Instinct Original Kitten wet and dry food
Wellness Natural Kitten wet food
Purina Pro Plan Kitten wet food
Another important part of feeding is: How Often. You don't want to feed a kitten just one large meal per day; it's better to feed them 3-4 smaller meals throughout the day, which will be easier on their tummies and give less of a chance for an upset digestive tract.
It's a good idea to have separate bowls or plates for each one of your cats or kittens, especially when feeding wet food. That way they each get their own portion, and are not having to fight to get enough to eat or eating more than their share. Feed as much as your kitten can eat in one sitting, and remove any uneaten food promptly. It's also a good idea to follow the feeding instructions on the can, because different brands will suggest different amounts based on calorie content.
**This is the food I feed most to kittens in my care.

Note: I’ve described this trip taking the exit out the Gravell Creek, via the upper roads and NOT the cutblock. A better option now would be to take the new trail on the west side of Currie that drops down to the Green River Bridge. You will end up hiking down barely snow covered boulder fields, but that is better than a long snow-free valley bushwhack.
The days are getting shorter, it’s wet and rainy outside. The high alpine is covered in a dusting of snow. It’s ski movie season, real skiing is just around the corner. Here’s a throwback to a trip that I did back in February 2013 with Bram, where we headed off on skis from Blackcomb to Mount Currie, and down to Pemberton. Summer and winter are chaotic for me, I’ve saved this one for a rainy Fall night to write out. I can’t wait for more fun adventures this winter on the South Coast.
“Hi, is this Whistler taxi? Can you pick us up from the Green River bridge?” Bram and I drop our packs by the side of the road in the fading daylight, and wait for the taxi to arrive. Three days earlier, we left Blackcomb on skis, heading away from the crowds and into some lesser travelled terrain. Crowded is a relative term around here. Some places are always busy, like Whistler and Paul Ridge. But going one valley further, over the next pass, and suddenly it’s just you.
The Blackcomb-Currie traverse takes a high line through the northern section of Garibaldi Provincial Park. The start of the journey is the easy part, with a ride up the chairlifts on a one-way backcountry lift ticket. Beyond the gates, it’s pure alpine bliss. Leaving the crowds on the Decker glacier, the route continues down into Wedge Pass, around Lesser Wedge, down the Weart Glacier, over to the Mystery Glacier and into the basin south of Mount Currie.
The crux of the traverse lies in the exit, a long descent out Gravell Creek, complete with flat valley bottoms, creek crossings, and steep cutblocks. The alternative? A steep ski descent of one of the couloirs on the 2300m north face of Mount Currie.
The ski conditions were prime for a traverse. January was a dry month, with some rare sunny days. The drought extended into February, with a three-day window centered over the new Family day long weekend. Time to spend it in the mountains.
Descending into Decker Creek.
Skiing down into Wedge Pass, it was just the two of us. Greg and his other friend were following our tracks behind us, but we wouldn’t see them until the end of the first day. Bram has done the traverse once before. I was happy to have his knowledge of the route, and the exit.
The first night’s campsite was on the Weart Glacier. We tried to ski up Eureka Mountain after reaching the 2400m pass east of Lesser Wedge Mountain. But the early February sunset and the slow travel conditions on the barely-snow covered south ridge turn us around. We race down the Weart Glacier, following two ski tracks to Greg’s snow-tarp camp on the Weart Glacier.
They were planning to sleep, then leave early to ski the Pencil Couloir on Currie. This plan worked for us. I could sleep in, and then follow their tracks to the base of Currie. I curl up into my lightweight sleeping bag, under the tarp-covered snow pit, with a belly full of couscous, bacon and blue cheese.
View towards the Mcbride Range, with Nivalis at left, and Mount Sir Richard at centre. Endless mountains to explore.
The highlight of traverse was the second day, covering new terrain towards Mount Currie. We leave camp shortly before sunrise. I was awe-struck with the alpenglow painted over the north face of the Owls and Weart. It was a skier’s dream. Couloirs and steep face. A blank canvas waiting for a ski stroke. I gaze up at them, wishing I was up there. But not today. There was a crown line on the central line. Barely bridged bergshrund on the left couloir. And blue ice on Weart’s north face. There will always be next time.
We catch up to Greg and his partner at the 2400m col above the Mystery Glacier. They descend first, finding good snow in this north facing slope, protected from the scouring and compacting effects of the wind. A good sign for their committing descent later this afternoon. I hoot and holler, turning my skis with ease down the slope.
We climb up again to another high col on Hibachi Ridge. From the top, we are rewarded with another run. Another untracked powder slope with 400m’s of turns.
We were now in the headwaters of Mystery Creek – the south face of Mount Currie beckoned me. The ski terrain around here is awesome. North and west facing runs up to 400m long on Hibachi Ridge. The south face of Currie is 600m of 35deg skiing. Another 900m run from the col east of Currie down into Gravell Creek. No big deal. It was an easy day and a half ski to this point. As of now, this area sees more access from machine-assisted users, with helicopters dropping off skiers and guides on Mount Currie, which is a kilometre and a bit north of the park boundary. This traverse can be done with a heli-drop on the summit, and then a fast ski out in a day back to Blackcomb. But you would miss out on a lot of good skiing.
On the south face of Currie, I could see all of the Whistler valley below me. The 360 degree view was phenomenal – especially of the expansive Pemberton Icefield to our west. I waited for Bram to catch up to the summit, hoping to start the descent soon. The south face was already cooking in the sun. The south facing powder was good, but not as good as the turns earlier in the day.
Hungry for more powder, we head east to a line on Hibachi Ridge late in the day. In the late afternoon, we wait until sunset for the slope to change from white to vibrant hues of orange and magenta. The descent was perfect. Smooth buttery turns down the 35deg slope. This line doesn’t have a name. It’s not visible from Whistler or the highway. Nobody else would blog about it. But it was awesome. It was a fantastic feeling to be out here in this wild spot, but so close to home.
We wake up to clouds the next morning. The weather was changing for the worse. There was a fog bank down in the valley, quickly rising to blanket us and obscure our route. We rush up to the col southeast of Currie, but the clouds beat us there first. Easy travel on skis transformed into sluggish forward stumbling, wondering which way was up and down in an otherwise sensory-blocking environment of mist and fog. There are some methods, like rolling snow balls down a slope, or in our case, small rocks. The compass came in handy, and so did the rope. “Where is the col?” I wonder, as I toss the rope to get a sense of direction. “Go left, we’re almost there,” Bram says, looking up from his GPS.
The skins came off at the top of the snow. My skis were ready to glide over the powder below us. Unfortunately, the winds had transformed the slope into breakable crust. The descent was slow. I was cautious of going fast, nervous about what was below. The clouds linger, and I wait for a clearing window to scout the best line down. At the bottom, we continue down along Gravell Creek, now forcing a line through the bottom of avalanche paths, with deteriorating snow conditions as we travel down. The moisture from the mist was condensing into the tree-bombed covered snow pack.
Eventually we reach a major junction in Gravell Creek at 900m. John Baldwin describes the route well in his book. Cross the creek, then climb northeast out of the creek to reach a forested ridge, 1km east of the creek. Then descend north to reach the Gravell East Spur roads to reach the Green River FSR, and then west to the Green River bridge southwest of the Pemberton airport. Bram and his friends took a different route last time. They continued north down Gravell Creek, reaching a steep cutblock at the end of the Gravell Creek road. Punching through bad 20-year old second growth in thin isothermal snow was how they described the kilometre long journey through the cutblock.
We reach the end of the snow a few hours later, on the other end of the Green River bridge, ready to take off our boots. Another awesome Coast Mountain trip.

CHELMSFORD -- The town had a taste of Hollywood Monday when a scene for a new web television series was filmed at Moonstones.
The popular Route 110 restaurant was closed for the entire day to welcome film crews, actors and a horde of extras, according to owner Scott Plath.
He's not allowed to discuss the project or who was on set, but word around town is that it was a scene for the Castle Rock series based on the work of horror writer Stephen King. The show, set to launch next year on Hulu, is produced by J.J. Abrams and is being filmed at New England Studios in Devens and other locations around Massachusetts.
Plath said a location scout -- for what he's told is the first TV show to be filmed in Massachusetts since Spenser: For Hire in the 1980s -- first contacted the restaurant a couple months ago. He thanked General Manager Peggy McFarland, whom he described as "a huge horror enthusiast," for making it happen.
"It's obviously very exciting. We're not in Boston or New York," Plath said. "I think that the business we do and our customers give us a whole lot of validation that we do a good job. But when Hollywood wants to shoot and they regard your environment highly enough to choose you over others, it's quite a compliment."
Plath said crews wanted the restaurant to close for filming on a Friday night, its second busiest night of the week. Instead, they negotiated a Monday and used large black sheets over the windows and doors to give the appearance of nighttime, he said.
Plath was amazed by all of the crew members and equipment crammed into the restaurant for filming, the number of takes they took and the level of detail they were concerned with, down to the size of the peanut bowls on the bar. He said it took nearly a full 24 hours for the crews to arrive, set up, shoot and break down their equipment.
Elisabeth Earley, 13, was excited to find out the show was filming in town. She's a big fan of one of its stars, Bill Skarsgard, whom she loved as Pennywise in the recently released "It," another King-inspired movie.
"I was hoping to get a glimpse of him," Elisabeth said, but she only saw extras entering the restaurant through a side door.
Her father, Roy Earley, had hoped to see actor Terry O'Quinn, of "Lost" fame. He's also been a fan of actor Scott Glenn since he was in "The Right Stuff" in 1983. Glenn's most recent appearance was in the HBO series "The Leftovers."
According to sources, Skarsgard and O'Quinn didn't come to Chelmsford, but Glenn likely was in town. The word is that the scene was focused on an older actor portraying a rural man who finds himself in a fancy food and beverage establishment well outside of his comfort zone.
This wasn't the first time one of Plath's businesses had a brush with Hollywood. The 2009 Ricky Gervais movie "The Invention of Lying" filmed a scene at his Lowell restaurant, Cobblestones.
Plath said the filming at Moonstones was a great morale boost for the staff and customers alike.
"We're planning a viewing party when it premieres so we can all yell and scream and raise our glasses when Moonstones is on the big screen," Plath said.
Castle Rock also reportedly filmed at Tewksbury State Hospital last week.
The movie "Proud Mary" also filmed in Lowell this spring.

UCL clubs donate €20m to Bundesliga competition - "Solidarity is no lip service"
The four Bundesliga Champions League starters, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayer Leverkusen have donated €20 million as part of a solidarity campaign. The aim is to support Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs in case of hardship triggered by the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bundesliga Check out the league now Click Here The four teams will forego their share of the as-yet undistributed national media revenue. According to the current distribution matrix that share is €12.5 million. Furthermore, the clubs will add another €7.5 million from their own resources. The Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) confirmed the news on Thursday.
"This campaign underlines that solidarity in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 is not lip service," DFL boss Christian Seifert said in a league statement. "The DFL Presidium is very grateful to the four Champions League participants in terms of the community of all clubs."
The DFL presidium is to decide on the criteria for the distribution of the €20 million. "We always said that we would show solidarity with clubs that find themselves in a difficult situation due to these exceptional circumstances," Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a club statement. "BVB is currently helping with several measures in our community. And, of course, we are also willing to help professional football, to help feather the economic consequences of this pandemic."
Borussia Dortmund, along side with the three other German Champions League clubs, will make €20 million of financial support available for clubs of the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. pic.twitter.com/ZHHAvmrKh7— Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) March 26, 2020

With Coachella around the corner, festival regulars are busy prepping their wardrobes for the first weekend. Yesterday, Ashley Graham posted an Instagram video of her pre-Coachella fittings, and hours later Gigi Hadid test-wore what is sure to be the It accessory to replace the ubiquitous flower crown. Stepping out to meet her mother, Yolanda, at Japanese restaurant Zuma in New York, Hadid had on scene-stealing tinted sunglasses.
We first saw the trend take shape on Selena Gomez, who has made custom red cat-eye frames from Garrett Leight California Optical x Clare V her signature over the past few months. Colored sunglasses were also big on the Spring 2017 runways, popping up everywhere from Céline to Fendi.
Hadid let her statement frames by Opening Ceremony x Gentle Monster dictate the rest of her outfit by doubling up on the citrus shade with a matching hoodie. She extended the inspiration behind her wraparound aviators to army green fatigues. Her jacket bore military-influenced details, like utilitarian pockets and epaulettes at each shoulder. Hadid cuffed her trousers to keep the oversize fit from seeming sloppy and managed to show off fur-lined Gucci loafers with rose embroidery—an accent that tied in nicely with her floral iPhone case. All Hadid will need to do is swap the sweatshirt for a crop top before she runs off into the sunset in the California desert.

Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande team up for a funky new video for ‘Faith’ and we think this is definitely the perfect OST for Christmas.
This soulful duet, which was recorded as the soundtrack for the film Sing, has recently garnered a Golden Globe nomination for the Best Original Song – Motion Picture while the film has also been nominated for the category of the Best Animated Motion Picture.
Gail Harrison, who is Illumination’s President of Marketing and Branding says, “With this video for ‘Faith’, the legendary Stevie Wonder’s incomparable music and timeless lyrics celebrate Sing’s message of spreading joy and inspiring transformation. There are few performers who embody inspiration the way Stevie does, and he and Ariana join Sing’s characters in a collective celebration of the power of song”.

I guess I didn't do a clear job of explaining my issue.
It is true if it is sent via HTTPS the SSL negotiation takes place before
the HTTP happens so it wouldn't be sent. In that example as I mentioned it
is (I checked the HTML post location and it was).
But a phisher can easily create a site that looks exactly the same as the
original and claims to be submitting the page to an SSL location using the
icon. The form actually gets submitted to the phishers site and he captures
the username and password (no SSL so no browser error, just the padlock icon
The correct flow should be as follows.
User should validate who is asking for the username and password (SSL auth)
When satisfied it is a valid request he can send his shared secret to the
3rd party who validates it and accepts or rejects user authn
In the bad sites the user assumes it using SSL but doesn't know it isn't
until its too late (or he / she checked the HTML (which won't happen))
Sure the good site could request the username and password from a SSL served
page and then submit it to a non-SSL phishing site but at that point you
knew who did it.
Its like those ATM's in corner shops. I am not putting my ATM card in one to
see if it connects to the banks ATM network with my PIN. By the time I
realize it wasn't a Bank of X ATM its too late. I want to only put my card
into genuine bank ATM's (not a good analogy as verifying the authenticity of
an ATM is not a minor problem and out of scope here but ...)
If users continue to happily submit usernames and passwords to
http://bankx.com, Average Joe will continue to fall prey to phishing scams

Not really. SSL verification is done before the HTTP headers are sent to the
server (same reason why you can't have name-based SSL virtual hosting), so
if there is SSL cert mismatch, your browser will alert you and if you cancel
the connection then, the server won't see any of your data.
In fact, presenting the login form on the SSL page won't win you anything,
since there is no guarantee that you will submit your data to the same
SSL-enabled server than the one that sent you the login form.

Adele halted her Las Vegas concert on Saturday after hearing that Friends actor Matthew Perry had died.
The American-Canadian actor, 54, who was best known for playing Chandler Bing in the beloved sitcom, was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday - reportedly after an apparent drowning.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Hello singer paused her gig at The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace after hearing the news to say that although she had never met Matthew, his performances as Chandler had profoundly affected her.
"I'll remember that character for the rest of my life," the 35-year-old star said. "He's probably the best comedic character of all time."
The British singer, who was dressed as Morticia Adams for her Halloween weekend performance, honoured Matthew while introducing her song When We Were Young. She also asked members of the audience to share their favourite childhood memories.
The London-born diva shared her own childhood memory connected to Matthew, reminiscing, "One of my friends Andrew when I was, like, 12 did the best Chandler impression. He would do it all the time to make us laugh and if any of us were having a bad day or feeling low he would just pretend to be Chandler."
Adele - who recently quit alcohol - also noted Matthew's problems with addiction, which he detailed in his 2022 memoir.
"He was so open with his struggles with addiction and sobriety, which I think is incredibly, incredibly brave," she said.

what is the difference between primary key column and not null + unique column.
I know one difference is a table can have only one primary key and any number of not null + unique key columns.
I think the functionality is same for the both type of columns.
Any other differences that you know??

UPDATE: Assembly hopefuls Castelli and Harckham visit New Castle
Castelli, left; Harckham, right
UPDATE: February 8, 2010
by John Ehrlich
With the Special Election for the 89th State Assembly seat coming up tomorrow, February 9, New Castle has been much more than a mere whistle stop on the New York State Assembly main line. Not only did it host the League of Women Voter’s Candidates’ Night last Thursday, but the two candidates, Bob Castelli and Peter Harckham, and sitting Assemblymen like George Latimer have been visiting town with pleasing regularity.
To keep Chappaqua, Millwood and the West End up to date we chatted with Bob Castelli (Republican, Independence, Conservative) last Tuesday night at Crabtree’s Kittle House and with Pete Harckham (Democrat, Working Families) last Thursday night at the conclusion of the League of Women Voters’ Candidates’ Night at the Chappaqua Library.
About the candidates
Pete Harckham is president of Harckham Media Group, an advertising and communications firm and is beginning his third year on the Westchester County Board of Legislators (District 2) representing Somers, Bedford, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Lewisboro and Pound Ridge. He is a member of the Budget & Appropriations, Legislation, Government Operations, Environment & Energy, Public Safety & Security, Septic, Hispanic Affairs, Internal Controls and Procedures committees. He grew up in Rockland County (New City) and moved to Katonah in 1991.
Bob Castelli is president of Robert J. Castelli Associates and has dedicated his life to public service. He is a decorated Vietnam veteran who, after a distinguished 21-year career in the New York State Police and Organized Crime Task Force, went on to receive his graduate degree in public administration from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He served on County Executive Rob Astorino’s transition team and for many years as a Lewisboro Councilman. A professor and department chair at Iona and John Jay Colleges, he left teaching to run for the 89th A.D. seat.
Why are you running?
“Because the bravest guy I ever knew lost his life to save mine,” stated Castelli, by way of explaining why he is running for the Assembly seat. He was referring to Corporal Michael Ransbottom, who saved the 18-year-old Castelli just after the Tet offensive of the Vietnam War, but lost his own life in the process. Castelli believes that experience changed him, giving him a unique drive to help and to serve. “I devoted my life to making a difference,” he said.
Getting more specific, Castelli noted, “The winds of change are blowing. Approximately 10,000 pieces of legislation were introduced in Albany in 2008, just 450 or so were released out of committee, only 250 made it to a floor vote. The time for a change at the state level is here.”
Pete Harckham agreed with Castelli’s assessment of the state of Albany. “I’m running because of the challenges and the opportunities. Albany is broken and needs to be fixed.”
What is the first thing you would change?
The first thing Harckham would work to address in Albany, if elected, is the need for “a truly balanced budget with an open process.” For Castelli, “the conversation begins and ends with taxes.”
What are the first three legislative actions you’ll try to take?
Peter Harckham plans to focus first on the budget, then on campaign and ethics reform, and third on funding mandates with general state revenue such as income and sales taxes. Citing Medicaid, which will cost Westchester residents $207 million in property taxes this year, Harckham explained, “We could reduce the county portion of property taxes tomorrow by a third if New York funded Medicaid like 48 other states do. Only New York and North Carolina pass these costs on to property tax payers.”
Bob Castelli stated that he would reduce the tax burden in Westchester by reducing reliance on property taxes to fund education and fight to bring a fair share of state aid back to our local school districts. He also insisted that the practice of unfunded mandates from Albany, new requirements with no funding attached, must stop.
Castelli stated that he would work to repeal the Triborough Amendment to the Taylor Law that, he believes, prevents effective collective bargaining by prohibiting a public employer from altering the provisions of a contract that has expired until a new agreement is reached. He explained that under the current law, public employees working without a contract receive all the benefits included in their prior contract. Consequently, unions have no incentive, he believes, to offer concessions or to bargain in good faith. Not only is New York the only state in the nation known to have such a requirement for public employees, he noted, there is no similar obligation imposed upon private employers.
Third, Castelli has his sights on the Wicks Law, which requires local governments, including schools, to use multiple contractors to build most public works projects. In his opinion, the Wicks law practically ensures a lack of coordination between contractors working with public entities, who often lack project management experience. He believes that this often results in extra expense for multiple bid packages, costly delays and expensive legal disputes. The private sector doesn’t do things this way, he noted. Studies show, he added, that the law adds between 15% and 25% to the cost of public projects.
What do you think about the Westchester settlement regarding affordable housing?
This fall, the Westchester Board of Legislators approved a settlement of a lawsuit brought by the federal government that requires the county to build affordable housing in Westchester. At the time of the settlement, the options open to the county were settle or continue to pursue expensive litigation.
“I am adamantly opposed to this settlement,” Castelli declared unequivocally. “It diminishes the value of houses.” In his opinion, “we might have won in litigation if we challenged the settlement.
Castelli takes a bleak view of the settlement’s likely consequences. “The settlement will result in disastrous legal and environmental costs to local communities as they fight to prevent developers from using the terms of the agreement to circumvent our land-use regulations to build federally controlled housing that does not meet the clearly identified need of the region for workforce affordable housing.”
Pete Harckham totally disagreed. Before the settlement was reached, Harckham explained, “The County lost six different motions [in court] and faced a $300 “million liability.” At the League of Women Voters’ Candidates’ Night, Harckham, the former president of A-Home, declared, “I am the only one sitting here who actively built affordable housing.” A-HOME rehabilitates, builds and manages affordable rental housing in northern Westchester County, NY for older adults, disabled individuals and single parent families who, because of age, disability, or family status, cannot afford market rates.

The State Senate is mulling several bills concerning marijuana and marijuana businesses.
One of the biggest bills is the social pot club bill that would allow businesses to allow marijuana use where the city or county has authorized them.
As the federal government is debating what it is going to do with recreational marijuana, there is talk of states seeing greater enforcement of federal laws.
It’s leaving a big question mark as to what this means for the billion-dollar industry in Colorado.
“Certainly, we’ve been thinking about it and trying to figure out what our choices are,” Gov. John Hickenlooper said on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Wednesday night. “You know, I opposed it. I was openly against it. And you know, 55-45 of our voters put it in our Constitution.
“I took an oath to support our Constitution. So I’m in a funny position where I’ve got to try and make this work. You know, we’ve made a lot of progress.”
But O’Reilly questioned that.
“A flood of homeless people, poor people came to Colorado because they have easy access to the intoxicant,” he told Hickenlooper. “Downtown Denver, there’s a lot of people stoned. Morning to night because they can get this stuff. “And I think that’s what the attorney general is talking about.”
Added Hickenlooper: “To be clear, we have the No. 1 economy in the country. When you’re growing that fast, you have all kinds of homelessness. We had that long before we legalized marijuana.”
State lawmakers are looking at giving local governments more flexibility when it comes to recreational marijuana by allowing social pot clubs.
A bill would create a one-year pilot program of “bring your own” marijuana clubs. They would be smoke-friendly businesses similar to cigar bars where people can smoke marijuana.
Colorado law doesn’t ban or permit marijuana clubs but many opened as tourists said they needed somewhere to legally smoke.
The marijuana clubs wouldn’t be allowed to sell pot or serve alcohol. And the bill would also allow any jurisdiction to ban them altogether.
The statewide measure passed the Senate business committee and now moves to the full Senate.

New printing technique for strong materials
Rotational additive manufacturing using polymer fibres could make prosthetics stronger. Ellis Davies reports.
A novel circular 3D-printing method could give better control over the arrangement of short fibres in polymer matrices, which enables the creation of structural materials optimised for strength, stiffness, and damage tolerance. Developed by researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, USA, the method, known as rotational 3D printing, could have a wide range of applications such as the manufacture of prosthetics, sporting equipment, and low cost mould for composites.
Rotational 3D printing gives a greater level of control over fibre architecture in printed composites, and has the ability to change orientation without changing the tool path used to deposit the material. This means that near optimal fibre arrangements can be achieved at every location in the printed part, resulting in higher strength and stiffness using less material. A particular printing head is required, which is unique because it uses the viscosity of the ink itself to reorient fibres in a desirable way, rather than relying on magnetic or electric fields. The rotational depositional nozzle manipulates the flow of the viscous ink to arrange fibres in a spiral.
The method changes how the carrier resin flows in order to move fibres. Because of this, the head concept could be used on any material extrusion printing method, from fused filament fabrication and direct ink writing, to large-scale thermoplastic additive manufacturing – and with any filler material, from carbon and glass fibres to metallic or ceramic whiskers and platelets.
‘This technique allows a new level of control over fibre orientation in 3D printed composites that has not previously been possible,’ said Brett Compton, co-author of the study, and now Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Tennessee, USA.
‘We have demonstrated that the unique fibre arrangements that result from our printing process lead to significant improvements in damage tolerance over existing 3D printed composite materials,’ he said.
A wider reach
Jordan Raney, co-author of the study and now Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, spoke to Materials World about the broader context of this development. ‘Natural composites like wood, bone, and shells have received a lot of attention in the mechanics and materials communities because of how well they reconcile competing properties,’ he said. ‘For example, they are both tough and strong, but also lightweight. Natural materials achieve this not by using exotic, rare elements, but by using highly optimised arrangements of simple and abundant elements.’ The team’s system is notable in enabling users to control fibre arrangements inside their 3D printed materials, providing a new way to optimise the microstructure for improved mechanical properties.
The team believes the new method and attachment could have broad commercial use. ‘Potential commercial applications range from fabricating stronger, lighter prosthetics and sporting equipment tailored to specific individuals, to low cost moulds for traditional composites manufacturing with tailored heat flow properties,’ Compton said.
The greater level of control, given by rotational 3D printing, could also expand the design space that can be exploited to optimise materials’ properties, the researchers say.
