So, yesterday was my birthday. And, the lovely personal personal trainer and whisked me off island for a bit of a birthday adventure. Lunch at Slipway, Dinner at Primo, a new kayak, antiquing adventures, a stay and the Camden Harbor Inn with dinner at Natalie’s; it was a fabulous time.
This particular corkscrew actually came from the shop owned by some friends. Over the past year, we have come to know a couple that is moving to Vinalhaven. They bought a building on main street, are currently renovating it, and will be opening a business in the downstairs.
Years ago, we actually met, in the business they previously owned; a wine and cheese shop (oddly enough) that we would pass on our way up to Rockland to catch the boat to Vinalhaven.
At some point, the wine and cheese shop changed hands, and the corkscrews were no longer there. The shop still has lots of antiques as decor, but the collection had gone elsewhere. Where it had gone, apparently, was across the street to another business that the couple owned.
I got a better look at the marking, and it turned out to be H & B MF’G. Now this too is a good thing. I have owned several turned ivory and bone handled corkscrews, but when they turn up, they are more often marked CASTSTEEL rather than H & B.
While I was paying for the piece, soon there were several other corkscrews presented; a double folding 18th century piece, a mechanical corkscrew cane. Neither of those were for sale, but nice to see such good corkscrews.
Yes, as a matter of fact, in the title of the blog I did. Over the last couple of days, there was an interesting lot listed on eBay with a buy it now or best offer. And, the lot contained four kitchen implements, amongst them Marshall S. Neal 1940 patent opener with corkscrew.

Currently, more and more environments environment resources. As a result, tracking and managing this abundant number of passwords in an efficient and secure manner has become increasingly difficult. Presently, passwords are managed in an “ad-hoc” de-centralized manner. For example, passwords are managed using ascii documents (or other text files) located on a server (e.g., UNIX, Windows™, etc.), and access to the document is protected by file level permissions.
Such a method of storing passwords can be difficult to manage and keep secure. Since many environments span across a number of computer systems over a number of networks, knowing exactly where a certain password is located, for what system the password applies, what level of permissions are associated with the password, etc., can be when passwords are accessed and transmitted across networks, the security of such passwords may be compromised. Furthermore, as system environments grow and increase their number of associated users, the problem is compoundedcentralized password managementAccording to further embodiments, a system for managing passwords is described. In one embodiment, the system may include a client system. The client system may include a command line interface which may be configured to receive input from a user. Based on the input, may be generated.
The system may further include a pamay be coupled with the client system and may include a centralized password repository. The password management system may be and. Upon validation of the user's credentials, the password management system may. Then, the password management system may transmit a response to the client system which includes the requested password. may havem various functions. In one embodiment, the functionsfunctionsassword managementassword mmmunications involved in accessinvolve an on-line, centralized and secure password management system. In one embodiment, the system may provide a central repository of passwords that may be accessed by users in order to provide access to various applications and/or environment resources. In a further embodiment, because the system is “on-line” users may be able to access the password repository from anywhere they are able to obtain Internet or network accesallusers, as well as internal communications within the management system, may be secure. Such security can ensure that no fraudulent users are inappropriately granted access to passwords and applications. Furthermore,ystem, updating passwords can be accomplished by a single update. In other words, instead of updating each instance of a user's password stored on many different servers, the management system can simply perform an update of one password at a central repository.
as any part of the on-line password managementA set of embodiments comprises systems for managing passwords in a centralized, secure, and on-line environment
Merely by way of example, one of the servers 2222205 and/or other servers 215. Merely by way of example, the server(s) 21205 and/or other servers 2205 and/or another server 2a webpage of the password management system5205 220
In one embodiment, databases 220 may be implemented as a centralized password repository 410 in FIG. 4. Furthermore, servers 215 may be implemented as a password management system 405 in FIG. 4. Turning now to FIG. 3, which illustrates a method 300 of managing passwoprocess block 305, requests to a password management system are received from users requesting passwords used to access various applications. In one embodiment, the password management system may include a centralized password repository. Such a repository may contain all of the passwords associated with every application within a given environment for each user within that environment. In a further embodiment, the repository may be stored in a single database or alternatively may be stored in multiple databases. The database may h as, obfuscation, DES encryption, triple DEC encryption (3DES), advanced encryption standard (AES), cipher-block chaining (CBC), etc.
At process block 310, a user's credentials may be checked to determine whether the user is a valid user. In one embodiment, the credentials checked may be the user's userID, the media access control (MAC) or Internet protocol (IP) address of the system the user is requesting from, the access level of the requesting user, etc. For example, a user, based on their userID may have permission to access a given application only when the attempt to gain access originates from a certain system or systems. Otherwise, the attempted access will be denied and the password will not be transmitted to the user. Thus, by checking a requesting system's IP address or MAC address, the password management system can determine if the request is originating from an authorized system.
In a further embodiment, the userID may be valid, but may not be configured for accessing the requested application. Ultimately, the password management system is to determine if the user's credentials are valid (decision block 315). In response to the user's credentials being valid (i.e., the userID, the requesting system, and the requested application all are a valid combination), the requested password may then be transmitted to the user (process block 320). In one embodiment, the transmitted password may be encrypted before being transmitted password during transit to the user.
At process block 325, the successful password access may be logged in a log file associated with the password management system. The log entry may indicate the userID, the accessing system, the application being accessed, the date and time of the successful access, etc. In one embodiment, the log may be used to track usage of the management system, the frequency of use of certain applications,to better perform password management. Once the user has successfully obtained the requested password the user can proceed to access the associated application (process block 330).
In an alternative embodiment, if the users credentials are found to be invalid, the user's password request may be rejected (process block 335). The rejection may be displayed to the user, and then the user may be given an additional opportunity or opportunities to request the password again. In one embodiment, upon a failed attempt or failed attempts, the user may be locked out of the password management system.
At process block 340, the failed attempt to access a password may be stored in a log file of failed attempts. The log of failed attempts may be used to detect fraudulent accesses and/or intrusion attempts. Furthermore, the log file may be used to track fraudulent systems and ban would be “hackers.” Consequently, in response to the failed attempt to access the password, the user is denied access to the requested application (process block 345).
Referring to FIG. 4, which illustrates a systempassword management system 405 which may include a centralized password repository 410. Password management system 405 may be configured to manage, in a centralized manner, all of the passwords within an application environment by accessing centralized password repository 410. System 400 may further include a command line interface 415 and a web interface 420 connected with password management system 405.
In one embodiment, a user may use command line interface 415 (e.g., a UNIX command line) to access password management system 405 in order to retrieve a password to be used to access an application. Using command line interface 415, the user may transmit their request to password management system 405. However, the presence of password management system 405 may be tuse the “get_pwd( )” command associated with UNIX, but instead of the command accessing a local password file the command may transmit a request to password management system 405. Thus, the user is unaware that the password they are trying to retrieve is located remotely at password management system 405 instead of locally at their system in a text file.
In a further embodiment, the password request may be encrypted before being transmitted between command line interface 415 and password management system 405. Thus, hacking and/or sniffing attempts can be mitigated for requests in transit. Upon receipt of a request, password management system 405 ma(see FIG. 3 above). If it is determined that the user's credentials are valid, then password management system 405 may retrieve the requested password from centralized password repository 410. In one embodiment, the password retrieval message may be encrypted prior to transmitting the request to centralized password repository 410.
Additionally, the passwords may be stored in centralized password repository 410 in an encrypted form. Thus, password management system 405 is able to maintain two levels of security with stored and retrieved passwords. In one embodiment, the retrieved password is transmitted to the requesting user at command line interface 415. The transmission may also be encrypted. Thus, system 400 may be configured to implement end-to-end encryption during the password retrieval process.
In a further embodiment, system 400 may include a web interface 420. Web interface 420 may be configured to give administrators access to password management system 405 via an Internet or other network connection through, for example, the administrator's web browser. Access to web interface 420 may be restricted using a login and password. In one embodiment, all communications between web interface 420 and password management system 405 may be secured using encryption (e.g., secure socket layer (SSL) encryption). The administrator may use web interface 420 to change permission levels of users, change password policies, change users' passwords, etc.
In one embodiment, since password management system 405 includes a centralized password repository 410, any change to a password need only be made in a single location (i.e., centralized password repository 410). Thus, even though, for example, a user may have access to multiple applications on multiple servers within a system environment, when a password is changed, it need only be changed in centralized password repository 410. Accordingly, the changing/updating of passwords is significantly streamlined.
In addition to changing passwords, an administrator may need to generate passwords to assign to new and/or existing users. For example, many application environments may have policies in place which indicate that passwords should be changed after a certain amount of time (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, etc.). In addition, an application environment may require that the passwords be a certain length and include a certain combination of alpha-numeric characters. Such passwords and frequent generation of passwords can be difficult to generate and manage manually. Accordingly, pgenerate passwords dynamically. Upon generation, the passwords can thenfor later use by the associated users.
In a further embodiment, web interface 420 may provide an administrator with access to log files generated by password management system 405. An administrator may be able to analyze the log files in order to track intrusions and other fraudulent attempts made against password management system 405. The administrator may also detect abuse perpetrated by valid users. In one embodiment, the log files may provide an administrator with an audit trail of password retrieval and/or denial.
Turning now to FIG. 5, which illustrates a method 5t process block 505, a call to the password management system (e.g., password management system 405) may be generated. In one embodiment, the call may be a request for a password in order to be granted access to a certain application. At process block 510, the call may be encrypted in order to securely deliver the call to515, the encrypted call may be received by the password management system. Upon receipt of the call, the password management system may decrypt the call (process block 520). In one embodiment, the decrypted call may be analyzed to determine the validity of the call. At process block 525, the requested password associated with the call may be retrieved. In one embodiment, the retrieved password may be in an encrypted form. The password management system may then decrypt the retrieved password (process block 530).
At process block 535, a response to the call may be generated which may include the retrieved password. The response may then be encrypted (process block 540) and transmitted to the requesting user (process block 545). At process block 550, the response may be retrieved and decrypted by the user. Furthermore, the user may then access the associated application.

Keep the settings on your camera simple. Become familiar with one of the settings, like shutter speed or aperture, before you tackle the others. The picture you want to take may no longer be there if you take too much time worrying over settings before you shoot; the scene may have changed or the person has gone away.
When photographing landscapes, create a sense of depth. Give an idea of the scale by including a subject somewhere in the foreground. To gain sharper images, adjust your aperture to a smaller setting; try f/16 for full-frame single lens reflex cameras and f/8 for the more standard digital ones.
Do you want to work with exposure? Educate yourself about the advantages of different shutter speeds. On your SLR camera there are several settings; S, A, M and P. The letter "P" indicates program mode. This setting is your automatic one. The shutter and aperture speed are automatically set up for your use. If you are unclear what settings you want to apply, just use "P" setting.
An important factor in photography composition, is framing. If an object is distracting from the subject in your photo, remove it from the photograph. Zooming in is an effective way to accomplish this. Your subject should fill the frame to add the most impact to your photo, avoiding clutter.
The majority of digital cameras now come with a feature that automatically uses the flash whenever the area you are photographing is too dim. While this may work for the average photo, you will need an external flash device for more professional photos with more light. Look at your camera and determine whether or not it features a "hot shoe" near the top; this is where the external flash unit attaches to the camera. If your camera can accommodate the external flash, bring it with you to the camera store to find the right model.
Traveling presents many opportunities for good photos. Be open for possibilities from the moment you begin your trip. While location shots will be in abundance once you arrive at your destination, the journey itself is also worthy of being recorded. Document the journey; you may be able to find some interesting things at an airport.
If you're looking to capture some of the nostalgic intrigue associated with film cameras, try visiting second hand stores and getting your camera there. For an even more dramatic effect, ISO rated 200 black and white film offers a great nostalgic quality. After getting the film developed, consider having prints made onto a variety of papers, including fiber-based papers.
If you're serious about photography as a hobby for life, it's important to find out which equipment works best for you. Most photographers go with the Big Two: Nikon and Canon. However, there are other reputable equipment manufacturers out there.
The truth is, photography requires effort and research to get really good results. FK London Escorts info

Britain's t, believes that Russia should use its influence to ensure positive results in the cease-fire in Syria. Aconsults on foreign policy issues with the former head of RUMO, and he favors close cooperation with Russia. Most experts polled by Bloomberg believe that the parliamentary elections in Russia are unlikely to cause any protests similar to the 2011 unrest of the year. The contradictions between the West and Russia are smoothed out: an expert on Eastern Europe, Stefan Meister, notes that the rhetoric of the EU and Russia has “come closer”. And only a lonely old warrior Breedlove warns: Russia set out to "rewrite" the rules of world order.
In a popular British newspaper "Express", in a note by Tom Parfitt, a statement by the appeared. The diplomat bluntly stated: Russia must use its influence to help end the “Islamic State” in Syria. Also, in his opinion, Russia needs to “turn words into actions” and finally destroy “IG”.
Diplomat name is Matthew Rycroft (Matthew Rycroft). He personally welcomed tn a cease-fire in Syria.
According to him, Moscow, which has close ties with Bashar Assad, should use its influence to achieve a positive effect in the cease-fire. Literally: "he Assad regime, on the units of the militias and their patrons in order to convince them to comply with this agreement." If Russia manages to do this, the West will finally receive "much-needed confidence" in a "political settlement" of the Syrian crisis. If Moscow does not do this, the "spiral of violence" will continue to unwind.
According to the Permanent Representative, the time has come to fight the “IG” (“Daesh”), and this fight is “the only way to put an end to the protracted conflict” and defeat the terrorists.
In the meantime, it turned out thatis consultingis calling for close cooperation with Russia.
This writes the American edition of the international agency Reuters.
As it turned out, potential presidential candidate Donald Trump receives foreign policy advice from a former US military intelligence chief. And this person is in favor ues. The agency learned about this from three reliable sources.
Sources - former officials who have worked in the past in the field of foreign policy in the administration of the White House. They reported that retired Lieutenant-General Michael Flynn, who was the head of the Defense Intelligence Directorate under President Obama in 2012-2014, "unofficially" gives advice to Trump.
There is information that Trump himself will soon announce people who are giving him advice on foreign policy issues, but the billionaire is still silent. His headquarters did not respond for Reuters request for Flynn’s person. Flynn himself also declined to comment on his boss. In response to a request to describe his point of view about relations with Russia, he simply referred to his public statements.
Trump, the agency recalls, is noticeably different from other possible presidential candidates in precisely its position in Russia: after all, it “respects very much” President Vladimir Putin and openly advocates a thaw in bilateral relations, which are currently “as cold as ice”.
As for Mr. Flynn, it is known that he resigned from the post of chief of the Pentagon’s Chief Intelligence Directorate a year before the end of his term of office. Flynn surprised some US foreign policy veterans when, at the end of last year, he was seen sitting at a table with Putin at a banquet in Moscow on the occasion of the celebration in honor of (referring to Russia Today). Flynn said in an interview with RT, published on 10 in December of 2015,crisis and defeat the Islamic State.
Flynn later said (according to the German magazine “Der Spiegel”) that the war in Iraq, launched in 2003 by then President George W. Bush, was a mistake that led to the emergence of IG.
As for Trump, he often and strongly condemns the invasion of Iraq.
They speak in the West about internal problems in Russia.
The site «Bloomberg» An article by Andre Tartar and Anna Andrianova (Andre Tartar, Anna Andrianova) appeared, covering economic issues for publication.
The authors shared with the readers forecasts regarding theeconomic crisis. It turns out that despite the recession in Russia, most economists(in September 2016) will not cause protests, such as those that “thundered all over the country” in 2011.
Bloomberg journalists interviewed 27 economists. The Bloomberg 27 median showed that there was a 30% chance of political unrest in the country, which would be caused by economic difficulties. And only six economists believe in the 50-percent probability of a "coup".
The likelihood of a political takeover is much lower than last time, thanks to the “deterioration of relations between Russia and several neighboring countries,” said K. Maggio, head of emerging markets research at Toronto Dominion Bank, based in London. “All this suggests that the Russian people will feel more united and will support their government,” the expert said.
In the German edition of the international newspaper "Focus" An interview with an expert on Eastern Europe Stefan Meister (Stefan Meister). Meister is director of the Bosch Center's Russia, Eastern Europe and Central Asia programs in Central and Eastern European Studies of the German Foreign Policy Society.
Here are some key points from his answers.
2. Both sides should think about how to find a way of coexistence. This is necessary for both the West and Russia. But while the parties still do not know how to do it.
3. The main goal of Moscow is to conduct dialogue with the United States on an equal footing. The Kremlin wants Russia to be perceived as a central player in international relations.
4. Thanks to the actions in Syria, Russia emerged from the “isolation”, into which it fell due to the Ukrainian crisis. The United States had to negotiate with Putin.
Against this (relatively favorable for Russia) background, the lonely voice of the old warrior General Bridlav rang out. He once again warned that Russia, they say, set out to "rewrite" the rules of world order.
His statement published the American edition. "The Hill".
What did Bridlove do on Capitol Hill? He defended the Pentagon’s budget request for the fiscal 2017 year, namely the "fourfold increase" in, a program aimed at "deterring aggressive Russia." This increase is expressed in the amount of $ 3,4 billion.
Republican Mac Thornberry (from Texas), chairman of the committee, questioned such an initiative. In his opinion, it is simply inadequate for the goal.
Bridlav himself, apparently, defended funding very ineptly. On the one hand, he demanded money, on the other, he declared that "there is no cold war." And then he told the crowd that Russia was unintelligible "in combat means" in Syria and that its air strikes "kill civilians", forcing them to flee to Europe. He reported on "absolutely" inaccurate bombing, which the Russians are conducting "in Aleppo and other places." In his opinion, such attacks have “almost zero military utility” and are intended to achieve other goals: “make people” flee. In turn, refugees become the “problem of someone else”, namely Europe. In this way, the Russians want to "bend Europe."
It seems that the intensityis decreasing. Potential presidential candidate D. Trump ; according to available information, retired Lieutenant-General, is advising closer relations with Moscow. Persons like the commander of the US forces in Europe, General Bridlou, who demand money to "contain" Russia, do not enjoy great prestige even from In addition, we recall, the Obama administration is pursuing a policy of reducing military spending, calculated for ten years. It is not clear how Obama’s successors in the White House will reduce these expenses, but Obama himself does not intend to retreat from his initiatives as a whole. And even Breedlove, in essence, repeats the theses of Obama, who earlier said that the United States does not conduct a “cold war” with Russia.
No one wants a “cold war” with the Russians, much less a war hot. Therefore, the main question of international politics is the question posed by Stefan Meister: both sides, both the West and Moscow,
in the usa, except for parties of war, there are no others; the whole difference is only in temperature: from hot to cold ...
Moscow, which has close ties with Bashar al-fire.
"Moscow, which has close ties with the LPNR !!!"
I have already said that exactly the same victory of the USA will be !!! This is exactly what they need - TIAGOMOTINA !!! And no peaceful arrangement of the ruins! Keeping a bonfire!
And then, very soon: Moscow, Putin violates the peace agreement !!!
And deliberate delirium of Bradblev only confirms this!
The time for talking is over, we need to solve our problems and problems, and let them continue to rant.
The time of conspiracy has not even begun, ahead of t. Prior to this moment, Russia should be steadily in terms of the economy. It is necessary to adapt to modern realities until 2018Before this moment, Russia must ...
Russia is, above all, we are with you.
It would be nice if everyone thought about their actions and actions.
Herd slogans already got.
Who decided to make a shock every 4 years called "elections"?
Who voted for this system? for this election clowning?
Are we not with you?
Earlier in Russia, power was continuous.
People lived their own lives, and did not play roulette, guessing who would rule in Russia for the next 4 years or 6 years.
Who needs this lottery ????
Wouldn't it be better to go home and think about your own life and well-being in the family ???
And now, Russia has only heard from all sides.
And what is the difference from kaklov ???
They, too, should all around.
Mr. Temples, you wouldn’t have a price at Boltnaya, then bish, you are priceless. Straight Leader! Where did you study demagogy? Or are you a natural nugget? All Russians were cheated. It's you, in vain, my friend. We will take care of the well-being in our families, without your intrusive advice.
gergi, which I do not advise you.
Plato wrote about democracy a long time ago.
Earlier, in the USSR, it was taught in every university.
Now your "swamp" friends do not welcome such teachings.
in a democratic system, it happens mostly by lot.
It really hurts the democrats like this lot.
What if it turns out to be king for at least an hour.
What’s it that hurt you, it’s not clear? A simple statement of the fact that the dermocrats led the country into an economic impasse. The welfare of all of us depends primarily on ourselves, a strong leader + a strong, capable government, which we don’t observe. Even strong power is inherited. if only it was for the good of the country .. And what compares it with the kakals, then a few more years of the rule of these liberals and the comparison will become obvious.
Unlike you, Khramov thinks not as a master, but as a minimum citizen. But Khramov thinks not only for himself, but also speaks for others, then you need to call him - comrade. But since not every goose knows who the comrade is, then please ask you to choose the right form of appeal.
Sorry, I'm superfluous here. Just a word had.
I dare to remind you that the election is not an invention of the people, this system has been imposed on us. And the rest you are right.
All this reminds me very much of the Soviet Union, on the contrary, inside out.
Now, as America in the 70's, we are simply doing what we consider it necessary to do, without especially consulting with anyone. The only difference from TOY America is that we do everything in strict accordance with international law, America has always vetoed any laws, international and human, with a parting.
America today, like the Union in the 70s, supports all sorts of cannibals (like Bokassa), is ready to give money to any garbage, if only they support it in words, shouts at every corner about "Moscow's militaristic plans" ... Like the Union under Gorbat America today is not going anywhere - always "something goes wrong" ... All this against the background of censorship in the American media, false propaganda, which never dreamed of. And also, let the liberals throw me down with tsany rags, but multiplied by the seams in the US economy - whoever traveled to the United States and entered American stores, he knows that "Chinese China" in their stores is no less than ours, and America's GDP rests on the Fed - it is easy to raise GDP when you count it in dollars, and you print as many dollars as you need ...
Absolutely accurately said and did not even fix it. True, there is one BUT. You correctly share the Gorbachev Union of Time. But the Union is still not worthy of your criticism before Gorbachev. You have a controversial statement. But overall, you're right.
And we solve them .. slowly.
I wonder what the United States has been doing there so far. It turns out that we said correctly that they are not fighting IS, but only create visibility!
Russia needs a field for maneuver; war narrows this field. Let the diplomats work, and the guns will cool down the red-hot trunks a little. It’s never too late to start a war, you don’t have much mind, look at Erdogash. He needs only war. Russia and the Turks have opposite interests.
In general, such unbridled rhetoric of the military of NATO and the US is amazing. Still, Obama, as if he does not belong to him, is trying to pursue a policy of smoothing out some sharp confrontations, even though we are talking about sanctions and other things. But through Kerry is trying to act with diplomatic leverage. And then the general general, even the commander in chief, begins to sculpt his vision of events without any subordination, and how he will deploy regiments to attack there, send fleets of ships and, in general, who Russia is is food for the West. The military from the Pentagon and NATO and their lobbyists in Congress have already lost their shores from arrogance.  That’s all their simple doctrine and concept.

What can he do? All his policies, both domestic and foreign, are the m. He does not want to go down in history as a "loser" president.
All his "merits", be it Iran's nuclear program or Syria's chemical weapons, paradoxically, were achieved with the help and participation of Russia. Without Russia, Obama would already be bogged down in the American-Iranian-Syrian conflict up to his ears, against the backdrop of unfinished business in Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan.
But apparently, this "swarthy guy" is one of those who do not remember "good".
Here, before leaving, Obama decided to put on the mask of a peacemaker, so that the Nobel Prize would not be taken away and fit into the truce, because he needs it only in order to calmly sit out his term, and then he will pass on "hemorrhoids" to his follower.
After anyone's words: "... Russia must .." further conversation should be stopped immediately.  In my opinion, the uncle has long been prof. not suitable.
Remember the principle of appointment at the posts of J. Swift in Lilliputia? Galloping on a thread, those who jump higher will take a higher position. So in America now, and after it in many countries controlled by it - not the best professional position gets, and who jumps higher and barks louder to Moscow ...
Under capitalism, not the best wins, but the strong. This is a competition system leading to a strong monopoly. Under Stalin's socialism, this was a slogan from everyone, whenever possible, to each according to work.
And only the lonely old warrior Bridlav warns: Russia has set out to “rewrite” the rules of world order.
WORLD ORDER? Well, well ... AND THIS is said by a representative of a country whose doctrine is "controlled chaos"! No, for a long time, no "order". If you look at the globe, there is a "complete mess" around the world.
Once again, Russia owes something to someone. When will the Anglo-Saxons owe anything for what they have done in BV, North Africa, Ukraine, etc.
Bridlaf is right. Russia intends to rewrite the rules of international affairs. But not his own, but Yusovskys.
As the striped-eared ones decide to destroy another country "according to their own rules," so let them look around, no matter how Russia hears. Otherwise, it will break the whole game at once.
Indeed, the current rules of the international order, based on the force of deadly weapons, the power of money, and also the completely biased and very influential force of deceitful media, Russia is simply forced to rewrite the rules of the international order in order to survive itself and allow others to live. It is very likely that some of today's rulers dislike this position, but we are left with no other choice, otherwise slavery is unlimited, with all the ensuing consequences.
“ ...“ much-needed confidence ”... If Moscow does not, the“ spiral of violence ”will unfold and farther.
Amazing! Who are the judges? Those who created this situation, and now want to remain viewers behind the scenes, ignoring the problems at home.
Who exactly are the judges? And Russia should begin to unnerve this rhetoric ...
Trump will not be allowed to win. U.S. voters do not decide anything at all. Clinton will be president.
All the better. Strategically, the more headless the president of Matrasistan will be, the faster this evil country will go off the run. Because global hopes there are not worth it. The country of victorious Masons is beyond human logic and values.
The state of thinking of any traders, and what I will have from this. And what is useful, but not profitable, I do not need. So we have in Russia. Only if they pay, I will do useful, but again expensive. It’s not interesting to buy cheap, pot. That there’s no profit from it, a waste of time. If you need expensive equipment, then they can take a good margin from it. There is no Stalin on them. He would teach such wise men to love their homeland.
Peaceful statements are certainly good. I would like to see confirmation by deeds.
the general stupidity of the general Yankees rolls over ...
Matthew Rycroft believes that Russia owes ... Russia owes nothing to anyone.
... USA Donald Trump consults on foreign policy with the former head of RUMO, and he calls for close cooperation with Russia.
What is their habit? As soon as it becomes "ex", it is immediately adequate and climbs into Russia's friends!
Interestingly, Breedlove also wiser in retirement?
Trump is a businessman from a citizen, that’s all said. They go by the principle: you can’t win, become a friend. About Bridlava, you want to, but you can’t. it will seem a little rascal.
Russia does not rewrite the rules, but follows them as well as the United States (whoever needs it, I will bomb it) and even listens to the UN. But here Bridlaw’s speech speaks about the instability of the power vertical — some general refutes the President. In the Russian Federation, the general would have been retired even before the end of his speech (at least).
how to find a way to coexist.
In a situation where NATO has already approached our borders and is rattling weapons ... this is very problematic.
In his opinion, such strikes have “almost zero military usefulness... Well, yes, when Americans shoot the weddings, it is of great benefit .. And how many years the USA allegedly has been fighting ISIS without a radical change, until the Russian VKS intervened ..
The diplomat bluntly stated: Russia should use its influence to help end the “Islamic state” in Syria.
How famously with the words are treated. Russia must HELP to end. A fly sitting on a horse can also claim that the horse helped her to plow.
And this is said by a person living in the territory of a state (USA) which always and everywhere violates these rules, and 90% of all modern warriors and coups occurred with the knowledge of this country, it is strange to hear from a person’s mouth about violating rights and order.
Everything is clear and correctly stated.
We write his last name incorrectly. It is necessary Bredlav.
this is the true goal of all the NON-WORDbelieves that Russia should use your influence to ensure positive ceasefire in Syria.
Again, Russia owes something to someone. And not a word about himself and his allies. Sami brewed this ugly porridge, and Russia should disentangle. Even if some positive results of the truce are achieved, they will still be attributed to the Western coalition: "There are many of us, you (Russia) alone.
Russia simply offers the world its own concept of development, the level of global responsibility, as opposed to the concept of the Western one, which is why some comrades will be worn out. And so from the speakers at the UN General Assembly there were only two: Obama and Putin. Which essentially announced these two concepts.
It will continue to decline. The states need to be reformatted because it is no longer possible for global elites to tolerate such a level of consumption as in the United States. And there are two ways out. Either they are reformatted peacefully, or through cataclysms, because there are more contradictions within the States than there were inside the former USSR.
Breedlove is clearly bored. There is a saying that a dog who has nothing to work licks himself an egg. It’s difficult for Bridlavovi to suggest this, but maybe to send him some Rubik's cube ?.
 brought on Saturday, most likely served in the 120th brigade.
Trump can not be trusted, all a lie !!!!


The Fremont Street area of Las Vegas has some of the best deals in town, so we ventured away from the strip to take advantage of plenty of budget-friendly opportunities. One of them was Tony Roma's, where we lured in by the $8.95 prime rib special. Naturally, we weren't the only ones, so there was a bit of a wait, which meant one thing - margaritas at the bar!
The House Margarita (on the rocks) was pretty decent in taste and price. Smooth and balanced in taste with just the proper hint of tequila. So we had several of them...
As an added note, we finished the food and drink, then headed to the ZIP LINE that goes shoots down (and over) part of Fremont Street. It's just a block away and a really cool ride, though they wouldn't let us take our margaritas with us...

Another interesting ClubHouse room discussing Digital Twins. During the discussion, once again there was a lot of debate over the definition of what is a Digital Twin.
Especially for our built assets, the terminology is used to describe many different, often opposite, outputs which keep firing long debates among professionals and cause disappointment by clients who are, more than often, not getting what they thought they were asking for.
Anil used a simplification to explain the concept (pictured above) which was very well received by the audience but also followed but a long discussion over Is this a Digital Twin?
There are many definitions of Digital Twins, Anil decided to test the example with the definition used by the Digital Twin Consortium (DTC):
A digital twin is a virtual representation of real-world entities and processes, synchronized at a specified frequency and fidelity.[1]
First, we can look at the foundational elements of this definition: virtual representation, real-world entities and processes, synchronization, [synchronization] frequency, and [synchronization] fidelity.
1. Virtual representation: The app is a virtual (in other words, digital) representation of the car (door locking mechanism) for the given use case. But it’s not a 3D model. Do we need a 3D model (BIM) for this to be a digital twin (DT)? Strictly following the DTC definition, the app is a representational model of the car door representing its state (locked or unlocked) and process (locking or unlocking). So, in this way, the example passes a part of our assessment for a DT.
2. Real-world entities and processes: The car door (and its locking mechanism) is the real-world entity, and the locking and unlocking of the door is the process. So, the example passes on this foundational element as well.
3. Synchronization: This element of the DTC definition is crucial to our test. In some definitions, this is also called “connection” between the digital and physical. This distinguishes a digital twin from any other digital model or replica (e.g., a BIM model). At the same time, DTC provides flexibility in the actual definition of synchronization, leaving the connection unidirectional or bi-directional. In our example, the connection or synchronization is bi-directional, i.e., the app senses the door being unlocked.
The human in the loop is alerted. If the decision by the end-user is made to lock the car, the app can actuate this action and lock the car door. It seems a unidirectional connection could also work, i.e., the vehicle sending a notification to the app that it is unlocked, and the end-user walks to lock it. The car example is compliant with this foundational element also.
4. Frequency and Fidelity: The app is synchronized with the state of the car door periodically (with some delay) so that its state can be detected and relayed to the end-user. The app also meets the fidelity characteristic of a digital twin, as explained by DTC. The degree of precision applied to the virtual representation (the app), and its synchronization mechanism seems appropriate for the given use case.
Now, let's consider the crucial sub-parts of the definition:
● Digital twin systems transform business by accelerating holistic understanding, optimal decision-making, and effective action.
This example does not meet all the items on this part of the definition, even though it can lead to “effective action.”
● Digital twins use real-time and historical data to represent the past and present and simulate predicted futures.
The example fails this sub-part as no historical data is available or used, and predictions cannot be made.
● Digital twins are motivated by outcomes, tailored to use cases, powered by integration, built on data, guided by domain knowledge, and implemented in IT/OT systems.
The car example provided here seems to be in line with this subpart.
While the example passes the test of the foundational elements (the what and the how), the example does not do well on the sub-parts (the why). Based on our test we therefore should declare that the example above is not a digital twin? Or are we just using the wrong definition to validate our example?
Join the next ClubHouse room and tell us what you think! and keep an eye on the next blog posts by Casey Rutland discussing, Do we need a digital twin test?


There is no doubt in my mind that this is the prime place for quantitative and economic analysis of sports (and this includes comparing it to economics departments). I have been able to bump elbows and work with some of the top names in the field, and would like to thank them for their guidance throughout the process: Professors Rodney Fort--who played a pivotal role, taking a chance on a guy with a Psychology degree to do quantitative work--Mark Rosentraub, Jason Winfree, Kathy Babiak, Stefan Szymanski, Dae Hee Kwak, Kate Heinze, Ketra Armstrong, Bruce Watkins, and Richard Wolfe (now at University of Victoria). I'd also like to thank my fellow graduate students here for all of our discussions and collaborations: Steve Salaga, Matt Juravich, Mike Cantor, Scott Tainsky (our first PhD graduate, and an Assistant Professor at University of Illinois), Kelly Xu, Thomas Peeters (visiting from Antwerp), Seung Pil Lee, and Joon Sung Lee. And, last but certainly not least, I would like to thank our Graduate Coordinator, Charlene Ruloff, for all of her help with administration of graduate student stuff. We would be completely lost without her.
This blog has gotten more attention that I would have ever expected. It really started out of frustration as a grad student having lots of ideas, and little direct outlet for them. The chance to speak with some prominent names in the front offices of MLB, talks with Josh Orenstein at Trackman Technologies, and an invitation to speak at an R Users Meetup following Metamarkets CEO Mike Driscoll--not an easy act to follow at a data science meeting!!--all stemming from work on this blog have been a real unexpected honor.
This also allowed us to qualitatively evaluate the decision rule boundaries built by the forest and assess the possibility of certain players being discriminated against based on language. There is a line of (conflicting) economic literature--mostly in the 1980s and 1990s--that has made claims of language-based discrimination in the labor market for hockey, so we found the Hall of Fame voting to be another good test of this. Long story short, however, there does not seem to be anything systematic going on. But we leave that up to the reader, as we present each of the players near the boundaries of the decision rules from the forest.

I first ate Bruce Poole’s food when he was in west London, cooking at Max Renzland’s late lamented restaurant Chez Max, which was originally located in Kew before moving to Ifield Road. Mr Poole opened Chez Bruce in 1995, part of the mini empire of Nigel Platts-Martin, who also owns La Trompette, the Glasshouse and set up The Ledbury; The Square, which he used to own, has since changed hands. Chez Bruce is located on a site with considerable London restaurant history. The Wandsworth Common spot was the iconic Harveys from 1987 to 1993, where Marco Pierre White made his reputation. Harveys, incidentally, was also owned by Mr Platts-Martin, who recruited Marco after he spotted his talent when he was cooking at a restaurant called Lampwick’s in Battersea. Eventually he and Marco went their separate ways but Chez Bruce has sailed on in its place for over two decades, picking up a Michelin star along the way. Chez Bruceappealing, carefully executed dishes with good value wines in a relaxed setting. These days Mr Poole oversees the cooking here and also at Glasshouse and La Trompette. The head chef at Chez Bruce is Matt Christmas, who has worked here since 2000. The dining room looks out over Wandsworth Common, and there is a particularly attractive view of this from the upstairs private dining room.
The menu is £55 in the evening but £35 at lunch for three courses. The wine list is extensive and has some very enjoyable offerings. Examples include Amalaya Bianco de Corte 2016Two Rivers of Malborough Clos de Pierres Chardonnay 2015 at £58 compared to its retail price of £19, and Francois Cotat Sancerre Les Cuis de Beaujeu 2011 at £100 for a wine that will set you back £39 in the high street. There are a few posher wines too, such as Didier Dagenau Silex 2009 at £185 compared to its retail price of £142, and Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 2000 at £300 for a wine that will set you back £213 in a shop.
Bread is made from scratch in the kitchen and included sourdough and some soft, fluffy focaccia. There are no amuse-bouches here but we ordered an extra course of white onion soup with gougeres. This was a very comforting autumnal dish, the soup having genuine depth of flavour and a pleasing sweetness from the caramelised onions. The gougeres also had good texture (16/20). A foie gras and chicken liver parfait was gorgeous, velvety smooth in texture and having intense liver flavour. This came with toasted brioche (16/20). I started with a bacon and leek sausage roll with venison loin and Savoy cabbage. The pastry of the roll was fine though the filling seemed a little bland to me; however the cabbage was a logical accompaniment, offsetting the richness of the roll (14/20).
Bombay cauliflower with tomato chutney also came with crisp spiced onions (effectively an onion bhajee) along with yoghurt, peanuts and a garnish of coriander. The pickled cauliflower was very good, the spicing quite gentle (14/20). The dish of the meal was hare loin came with game sausage, red cabbage, creamed spelt, raisins, walnut and bacon. The hare was carefully cooked and had very good flavour, the red cabbage excellent, the walnuts bringing an extra texture and the bacon giving a smoky hint of flavour. This was a lovely, balanced dish (a strong 16/20).


{{ $imgname := .Get "imgname" }}
{{ $imgwidth := .Get "width" }}
{{ $img := $.Page.Resources.GetByPrefix $imgname }}
{{ $scaled := $img.Resize $imgwidth }}

This is included via this shortcode:
{{
}}
This works fine for all images except two. For these, the scaling process fails, and the error in this topic’s title is printed. The figure is included in the post, and the hyperlink is present - but the scaled image which should be the clickable hyperlink is not existing.
I’d like to know how to debug this issue. It cannot be a problem with hugo in general, since it works for all other images, but not for these two. They are in the middle of the post, there are several other images after them, in post order, but also in alphabetical order, so i don’t think that the scaling process crashes or something, and cannot recover, since it ran as expected on the other images.
The shortcode can’t also be the culprit, i copy&pasted it, and only changed the filename and the alt name. I think the images are bigger than 500px, and are not malformatted or something.
So maybe anyone has an idea?
simonszu:
I’d like to know how to debug this issue. It cannot be a problem with hugo in general, since it works for all other images, but not for these two.
This is the Resource interface:
gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/resource/resource.go#L48
AbsSourceFilename() string
// Resource represents a linkable resource, i.e. a content page, image etc.
// Resources represents a slice of resources, which can be a mix of different types.
// I.e. both pages and images etc.
type Resources []Resource
func (r Resources) ByType(tp string) Resources {
The error you get indicates that it is not detected as an image. We detect the type by its MIME type derived from it’s extension (e.g. “image/png” => an image!).
You can check this by printing (or adding a conditional) .ResourceType.
This is probably a filename issue.
Thanks for pointing in the right direction. I printed out the .ResourceType by just adding {{ $img.ResourceType }}. The result is: All images were correctly identified as images - but i had a non-ASCII-char (a “ß”) in one of the filenames. This was the culprit, i changed it, and now the error is gone.

I am running into the same type of issue while testing my site using 0.33 and I am having a hard time tracking down the issue. This is working fine in 0.32.4 (Link to post).
I verified that there are no non-ASCII characters in my filenames and also checked the MIME type on all files.
Here is an example of the error I am seeing:
ERROR 2018/01/18 20:03:29 error processing shortcode "shortcodes/imgproc.html" for page "post/using-actionable-notifications-in-home-assistant/index.md": template: shortcodes/imgproc.html:7:34: executing "shortcodes/imgproc.html" at <$original.Resize>: can't evaluate field Resize in type resource.Resource
Here is my shortcode imgproc.html (taken from the 0.32.4 documentation and slightly adapted):
{{ $original := .Page.Resources.GetByPrefix (.Get 0) }}

Below is how I call one in my index.md:
{{< imgproc notification_while_locked Resize "400x" >}}
All of my code can be found on GitHub.
I am at a loss on what else to check. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
dancwilliams:
What you can try to make your code more robust is to replace the above with something ala:
{{ $images := .Page.Resources.ByType "images" }}
{{ $original := $images.GetByPrefix (.Get 0) }}
{{ with $original }}
There are several ways to get your error. My best guess is that it does not find the image.
If this is Hugo 0.33 and your image lives in a sub-dir, then this may be it:
Issue: Resource.Name contains subdir for images
opened by bep on 2018-01-18
Which was a breaking change in Hugo 0.33 -- and a bad idea. This is used in GetByPrefix etc.
I rewrote my shortcode to this:
{{ $images := .Page.Resources.ByType "image" }}
{{ $.Scratch.Set "image" ($original.Fit $options) }}
{{ $.Scratch.Set "image" ($original.Resize $options) }}
{{ $.Scratch.Set "image" ($original.Fill $options) }}
{{ $image := $.Scratch.Get "image" }}
And you were right, I am getting hit by the issue you mentioned. My images ar ein an images folder within the post. Once I added images/ to the beginning of the filename it started working in 0.33:
{{< imgproc "images/notification_while_locked" Resize "400x" >}}
I was looking through the issue and the linked forum post concerning this behaviour. Will this be rolled back to the old behaviour in the next update? I just wanted to understand the way forward.
Again, thanks for taking the time with this.
I was looking through the issue and the linked forum post concerning this behaviour. Will this be rolled back to the old behaviour in the next update?

Cutting-edge tools used in extended reality (XR) and video game development will soon become far more effective at enabling creators to speed production and delivery of the realistic user experiences markets have been clamoring for.
Groundbreaking innovations in Epic Games’ Unreal Engine live streaming production tools have made photorealism the new benchmark in the development of animated applications. Notably, advances like real-time ray tracing, densification of micro-polygon geometries, streamlined aggregation of visual effects (VFX), batch rendering of multiple camera inputs, and accelerated encoding bring stunning levels of realism to user experiences.
But to fully exploit the power of these innovations, developers need to be able to employ Unreal Engine live streaming tools in workflows running on real-time interactive streaming infrastructure. And they must be able to do this expeditiously without going through the laborious task of integrating Unreal Engine tools for use with an infrastructure platform adequate to their needs.
There are many reasons why ready access to real-time streaming infrastructure is essential to the development process, starting with the fact that game and XR application developers, like workers everywhere in the Covid era, must be able to collaborate remotely. They require synchronized, high-resolution visibility into the elements they’re working on with the ability to see each other as they work. Moreover, all participants in the real-time workflow must have delay-free access to cloud-based tools.
These requirements not only rule out reliance on traditional high-latency, unidirectional streaming infrastructure. They’re also beyond systems, which, as explained in this blog, place unacceptable limitations on scalability, video quality, and other aspects of user experience.
Beyond the real-time collaboration requirements, developers must be able to design their productions for interoperability with real-time streaming infrastructure. The commercial success of live-action XR and gaming applications depends on infrastructure that can stream content in any direction among any number of users at any distance with end-to-end latencies below the threshold of perceptible delay.
Developers will soon have ready access to these capabilities. Red5 Pro is developing a plugin that will allow Unreal Engine users to easily implement their workflows on its multi-cloud Experience Delivery Network (XDN) platform.
As explained in this white paper and underscored by use cases in operation worldwide, XDN architecture meets all real-time streaming requirements with the scalability of simultaneous connectivity to millions of users at global distances. Multimedia streams running on XDN infrastructure stream multimedia at end-to-end latencies in the 200ms-400ms range. The range dips well below that level when XDN edge points are positioned close to end users.
These latest Unreal Engine innovations make applications in the XR domain, i MR), far more compelling to end users. In all cases, these advances rely on the accelerated processing power of device hardware to execute operations in real time.
For example, one of the biggest contributors to enabling more realistic user experiences is ray tracing, an image processing technique NVIDIA first made available for rendering games in real time with the release of its GeForce RTX GPUs in 2018. “Never have you had the ability to do things like shadows and reflections like this in real time,” noted NVIDIA developer Richard Cowgill in a blog describing Unreal Engine’s adoption of the technique.
As supported by Unreal Engine, ray tracing estimates the spatial dispersion of light rays hitting image surfaces to simulate realistic light and shadow effects that aren’t captured by cameras or, in the case of animated scenes, aren’t normally factored into the creation process. Real-time execution allows scene lighting to adapt on the fly to things like the sun’s changing angle, someone turning on a flashlight, or the door opening to an adjacent room.
Another recently introduced major advance in image realism is Unreal Engine’s Nanite micro-polygon geometry tool, which3D models by breaking images into millions or billions of scalable triangles. Polygons used in frame-by-frame real-time renderings can be instantly retrieved from storage in the solid-state drives (SSDs) that populate much of today’s gaming and XR hardware.
Pre-integrations between the Unreal Engine toolset and the functions supported by XDN architecture will make it easier to incorporate these innovations into the design of live real-time applications. Furthermore, there are Unreal Engine enhancements that directly rely on real-time streaming in the development process.
For example, Epic has made it possible for remote team members, connected via real-time infrastructure, to collaborate simultaneously on the same region of a virtual world without interfering with each other. Working on their own replication of the same segment streamed from a grid automatically created by the engine’s new World Partition function, they can see what everyone else is doing as they work toward consensus on an outcome.
More broadly, real-time collaboration workflows extend to making cloud-based iterations of development tools available for simultaneous usage in remotely staffed development projects. Real-time connectivity to tool components running as virtual machines or containers in datacenters avoids the costs of equipping all remote workstations with full toolsets and frees team members to participate from any location using personal devices.
Red5 Pro’s progress toward creating plugins that tie next-gen creative tools to XDN architecture parallels similar efforts toward tight integration with the hardware that’s essential to processing the complex functions initiated by those tools. These hardware integrations provide a direct path to reducing processing latencies in use cases that depend on real-time streaming.
A project demonstrating advances in holographic applications development undertaken by Epic and Microsoft in 2019 provide a hint of what’s in store as these integrations come together to create the foundation for a new realm of possibilities. The purpose was to demonstrate a shared holographic experience for people wearing Microsoft’s HoloLens 2, the latest version of the company’s MR eyewear.
In the demo, John Knoll, Executive Creative Director at Industrial Light & Magic,on, told the story of the Apollo mission. They used various holographic images to examine the technical details of the Saturn V rocket stages and the moon lander and to stream holographic motion-picture renderings of the initial launch, landing maneuvers, views of the approaching moon surface, and the first steps taken by Neil Armstrong.
In essence, the project showed how Unreal Engine’s advanced rendering techniques employed with reliance on real-time networking enabled tightly synchronized shared experiences with holograms manipulated by hand motions in free space. Using a wirelessly connected PC powerful enough to execute Unreal Engine’s processing innovations with images comprising 15 million polygons made it possible to project holograms that were far more detailed and realistic than the usual HoloLens projections involving the use of smartphone compute power.
The demonstration relied on local Wi-Fi connectivity, but more distant real-time connectivity as provided by XDN infrastructure could work as well. What that means to dat any distance in the development of MR use cases involving interactions with free-space holograms displayed at dazzling levels of clarity and detail.
More generally, the project showed how end users will one day be able to interact socially in real or virtual scenarios populated with realistic, movable holographic images that are represented uniformly to all participants. There are many aspects to the technological details behind the Apollo 11 demo having to do with things like manual camera tunings that will have to be automated before such use cases can be normalized, but this is the future that will unfold as real-time connectivity over XDN infrastructure takes hold.
As noted earlier, the XDN platform is built on a cross-cloud architecture that supports tightly synchronized real-time streaming to and from any number of endpoints at any distance at latencies no greater than 200ms-400ms. With ingestion of content at XDN Nodes positioned at deep edge points with distributed cloud compute resources, roundtrip latencies can be reduced to the sub-60ms levels that prevailed in the Apollo 11 demo.
XDN infrastructure is built on automatically orchestrated hierarchies of Origin, Relay, and Edge Nodes operating in one or more cloud clusters. The platform makes use of the Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) as the foundation for interactive streaming via WebRTC (Real-Time Communications) and Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). In most cases, WebRTC is the preferred option for streaming on the XDN platform by virtue of its support by all the major browsers, which eliminates the need for device plugins.
XDN Nodes can be deployed on multiples. This can be done by leveraging pre-integrations with major suppliersOcean or through integrations with many other IaaS platforms enabled by Red5 Pro’s use of the Terraform multi-cloud toolset.
Developers employing Unreal Engine or any other toolsets used in game and XR development have two major priorities: in a work environment transformed by the Covid-19 pandemic they must be able to collaborate remotely in real time, and they must be able to develop/integrate interfaces that will allow them to exploit all the benefits that accrue with real-time interactive streaming.
This is why making XDN connectivity readily available for collaboration and innovation in the design of live-streamed gaming and XR applications is a top priority at Red5 Pro.

The Yzel are sentient plants from Somewhere Else who engage in a highly ritualistic form of calligraphy despite not having any obvious eyes or visual perception organs. They are the very epitome of doing one thing at a time and doing it well...
Aaaaawesome, I'm totally into these Yzel!Ritualistic calligraphy instead of sight?Doing one thing at a time with total commitment to the moment?Come to mama!
So in what kind of world or book I can find these awesome Yzel creatures?
Oh and my daughter (a total Star Wars fan indoctrinated by her father, lol) makes me ask what technique you use to create your beautiful work?
PS Aaaaah victory, I'm commenting as Nelly!
Hi Nelly!Thanks for dropping by and the wonderful comment today. The Yzel are creatures I've used in my gaming from the days of the Grot Age (Late Seventies) and I've only now gotten around to updating them for use with Wermspittle, a setting that I've been developing for a little while now both for gaming and for fiction. There are some Wermspittle stories here at this blog, and I am working on more fiction to go with the art and other bits. One big project I am in the middle of right now is revising some of older Wermspittle posts to make it easier for people to delve into this weird place of foragers dodging strange creatures and weird hazards like Weak Points (permeable apertures to other worlds/times) while avoiding the lingering traces of a Great War...
While I do respect Tolkein a great deal, I am very much inspired by Arthur Machen, Wiliam Hope Hodgson, L. Frank Baum, and H. G. Wells (among a few others) for what I'm building with Wermspittle. I have not read Robin Hobb's work. Do you recommend them?Is there a particular series or book I should start with first?
As for technique...I am switching things up a bit from piece to piece, but generally I like to work with pens and markers, with some digital work in Photoshop or Artweaver. Sometimes I use pencils, old photos, watercolors or other things, depending on the piece and my mood...
That is so fascinating!Compiling it all sounds like a great idea, you should definitively make your unique world easily accessible. My whole family has become fan of your work!
Looking forward to your upcoming work!
I am very happy to explain whatever I can for Norah. Sounds like we both enjoy working with line quite a bit, so I think that she might have some fun experimenting with coloring things digitally. Definitely use a program that gives you layers so you can adjust transparency as you build one on top of the other layer. That might really open up some possibilities!There are a ton of pretty decent tutorials on YouTube for doing digital coloring so it could be helpful to go browsing around there for a bit. I hope to see more of Norah's work in the future!
Glad you liked it, I had fun doing this piece...it was long over-due. Thank you for your kind words. I suspect that having been seriously ill for a large chunk of my childhood probably has something to do with my weird imagination...
PS oh dear God, what happened to that picture of our blog in your sidebar?do you see that too?how come it's so blown up?is it me?the pictures all appear normal on the blog...
I think it must be something to do with how the RSS is working, or maybe there's something going on with one of our platforms. What size/resolution are your images?If they are not reduced and you upload something that is still say 300 or 600dpi, it can do this sort of thing sometimes. I reduce all my blog-pieces to 100px resolution as a compromise for the HD monitors and it seems to work okay so far...

Posted RealPlayer transforms into the flexible ‘RealPlayer Cloud’ in a global rollout	By
Compatibility, ease of use, and versatility were the focus points for RealNetworks’ new cloud-based service dubbed “the Dropbox for videos,” released in the U.S. and Canada last September and globally yesterday. With this worldwide unveiling, RealPlayer both swiftly expands its capabilities and absorbs itself into a new entity, existing now under the moniker “RealPlayer Cloud.”
SurePlay is at the heart of the expanded service. Essentially, it’s a cloud technology developed by RealNetworks that seamlessly auto-formats, and storage space of any device — no more frantic Googling in search of a free program that converts MP4 to AVI, and no more wondering if your iPad or Android tablet can play an MKV file. In fact, this could be a really cool option for folks who don’t have the time or technical chops to set up a media server at home. Potentially, one could use a Chromecast to access RealPlayer Cloud, where all their movies, TV shows and other videos are stored and play them back on-demand, in the best possible quality – though, admitedly, storage of high-quality video files costs could get pricey in a hurry. Currently, no information on the type of audio streams appears to be available. Digital Trends is reaching out to Real Networks for clarification on this point and we’ll update the article accordingly. Upon its initial release last fall, RealPlayer Cloud’s other features included:
Video sharing across all devices
Local video streaming and downloading for on-the-go access
Sharing long videos, directly from phones, PCs and tablets, with any other device — app or not
Basic, secure storage of videos in the cloud
A month after the initial U.S. and Canada release, Google announced (via its released list of 10 new Chromecast-compatible apps) a convenient partnership between Chromecast and RealPlayer Cloud, a move that helped further familiarize consumers with the new service that, at the time, had only a few hundred thousand users.
Every user gets a free initial 2GB of storage, and can purchase additional space through subscription plans starting at about $5 per month. Find out more at the official site, or watch this video that goes into further detail.

The choreographer Tom Gold was in a conga line when he met the late Times photographer. Now he’s realized Cunningham’s dream of a dance performance at Untermyer Gardens.
Tom Gold first encountered Bill Cunningham, the Times’ society photographer, three decades ago, when Gold was a nineteen-year-old dancer for New York City Ballet. “I was at a party and started a conga line, and there was this old man following me around taking pictures,” Gold recalled recently, as he walked among the fountains at the Untermyer Gardens, in Yonkers. “After a while he said to me, ‘You got it, kid. You know how to have fun!’ ” After that, Gold, who formed a dance company in 2008, appeared regularly in Cunningham’s column—sometimes with the designer Mary McFadden or the night-club owner Nell Campbell. Gold went on, “Once, at the Frick, Bill called me over and said, ‘Child, just because you know how to have fun doesn’t mean you’re not serious. I told that to Balanchine, too. Remember that always.’ ”
Gold, who is fifty-two, wore a bucket hat, a striped Breton jersey, and black patent-leather Danskos. He walked into the Indo-Persian Walled Garden, which is a surviving portion of Samuel Untermyer’s hundred-and-fifty-acre Gilded Age estate, Greystone. Under an arm, Gold had tucked a cardboard envelope stuffed with sixteen photographs that Cunningham had taken at the park in 2013 and mailed to him. “He told me, ‘Child, I have a project for you. You need to perform at the Untermyer Gardens. It’s the most beautiful place,’ ” Gold said. Isadora Duncan performed there in the twenties and thirties.
In the garden, Gold opened the envelope. On each photo, Cunningham had scrawled notes detailing how a performance might be staged. One, of a mosaic-floored plaza flanked by sphinx-topped columns, read, “Looking from the amphitheater toward entrance. . . . Dance floor could be enlarged on lawn.” The mosaic, based on an ancient fresco, shows lotus blossoms among spiral shapes. Another: “The dance floor is center between the columns & sphinxes.” Cunningham noted that the amphitheatre would hold about “200 people plus standing” and pointed out that the park provided seat cushions so that guests wouldn’t be sitting on stone. On a shot of the Temple of the Sky—a roofless circle of Corinthian columns topped with a palmette-and-anthemion design—he had written, “Great for after-dance reception.”
Looking at the photos, Gold said, “I thought, Great, let’s make this happen.” He began petitioning Stephen Byrns, the Untermyer Gardens Conservancy’s president. Byrns stalled. When Gold would run into Cunningham at an event or at his usual stalking ground, in front of Bergdorf Goodman, Cunningham always asked about the Untermyer idea. “The last time I saw him was in 2016, at an event at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and he asked again, but this time he was more intense and seemed agitated that it wasn’t happening,” Gold said. “He kept saying, ‘You have to make this happen!’ ”
Cunningham died shortly after that, and Gold dropped his Untermyer pursuit. Unbeknownst to Gold, though, Cunningham had lobbied Byrns as well. This spring, seeking to augment the Untermyer’s outdoor performances, Byrns reached out (“A lot of water under the bridge in the last 5 years,” he wrote in an e-mail) and invited Gold to mount a program this summer. “I didn’t hesitate,” Gold said. “I ran to my storage space to see if I still had these pictures.”
Gold approached the stage area to demonstrate a few of the show’s moves. After a couple of pirouettes, he said, “In constructing the program, I was trying to think from Bill’s perspective—what he would have liked to see, what he would have liked to photograph.”
A few weeks later, he returned for the performance. About two hundred people had bought tickets. The gardens are public, and ten minutes before curtain a large wedding party barged past the “CLOSED FOR A TICKETED EVENT” signs to pose for photographs. “I was nervous that they were tracking mud and dirt onto the stage and the dancers would slip,” Gold said. “I told them, ‘We’re about to do a show.’ And they said, ‘We have a fucking permit.’ ” Once the bride and groom left, Byrns introduced the program, and talked about Cunningham: “When they were arranging for him to come here, his assistant asked, Where was Yonkers, exactly? ‘And do you think Mr. Cunningham could ride his bike up there?’ He was about eighty at the time.” After the show, there was a reception at a red-sauce Italian place in a Yonkers mini-mall. Cunningham’s suggested party venue, the Temple of the Sky, was closed for renovations. It will be unveiled in October, at a gala honoring Martha Stewart, an event that would have been just another day at the office for Bill Cunningham. ♦
