Allen Robinson knows his season has been a disappointment so far.
Robinson has yet to earn more than 72 receiving yards in any single game in 2016. He cratered Sunday with two receptions for nine yards in a 33-16 loss to the Oakland Raiders.
"I'm pretty shocked," Robinson said. "It's frustrating. I can't focus on those plays last year. I've got to make the plays this year. I can't try to make a super play every time. I've just got to make the play in front of me."
Through six games Robinson has shown no flashes of the deep-ball maven we expected. He has zero receptions of 25-air-yards or more. He had 10 such receptions last season. He also led the league with 31 catches of at least 20 yards in 2015; he has three in 2016.
Through six games Robinson has 26 catches for 296 yards, three touchdowns and 11.4 yards per catch. In the first six games of 2015, he had 28 receptions for 488 yards, five TDs and 17.4 YPC.
Robinson also has dealt with drops this season, flubbing one that led to an interception in Week 6 and another in Sunday's loss.
"I can't press to make plays and try to overplay," Robinson said. "When you do that, it's a negative outcome. So, I've got to figure out a way to get this thing going. I'm anxious to make a play and I need to keep calm. I need to make the play when my number is called."
Seriously, what the name of St. Sebastian is that?
Blake Bortles' regressing mechanics have set back the entire offense.
The deep ball isn't absent because A-Rob forgot how to run routes or leap or catch. It's discombobulated because the timing is off with Bortles. With elongated mechanics, defenders have a split second more to get in position, the passes come out wobbly or off-target. Bortles making flat out poor decisions on too many plays is exacerbating the problem.
The Jags' offense is one of the biggest disappointments this season. All the players likely will take some of the blame. Bortles deserves the largest piece of that pie. The coaches, who can't help keep his floundering mechanics in check, also get a large slice.
Offensive coordinator Greg Olson, in his second year, was supposed to help Bortles take the next step in becoming a premier passer. Instead, the quarterback is sinking back to old habits, rupturing the offense's potential.

The pound was the currency of the Bahamas until 1966. It was equivalent to the pound sterling and was divided into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence. Ordinary UK coinage circulated. Apart from an old Bahamas penny coin struck in 1806, there were no special sterling coin issues such as were found in Jamaica.
In 1825, an imperial Order-in-Council was passed for the purposes of introducing the British coinage into all the British colonies. It wasn't immediately very effective due to unrealistic ratings, and it required a further Order-in-Council to be passed in 1838. By the middle of the nineteenth century, British coinage had replaced the Spanish dollar throughout all of the British West Indies. But it was only in the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Jamaica that the pound unit of account was used. In the Eastern Caribbean territories and in British Guiana, the dollar unit of account was retained in conjunction with the British coinage at a fixed rate of one dollar equal to four shillings and two pence. Unlike in Bermuda, the US dollar circulated freely alongside the British sterling coinage in the Bahamas.
The pound was replaced by the dollar in 1966, at a rate of 7 shillings = 1 dollar (1 pound = 2.86 dollars). This rate meant that the new Bahamas dollar was at a slight discount to the US dollar.
For a wider outline of the history of currency in the region, see currencies of the British West Indies.
The only coin issued was a 1 penny coin struck in 1806. British coins circulated on the islands until 1966.
The Bank of Nassau initially issued notes in denominations of 5 and 10 shillings, and 1 pound. 4 shilling notes were introduced in 1906. The bank failed in 1917, and the Bahamas government took over the issuance of banknotes on the islands.
The Public Treasury issued 1 pound notes in 1868, followed by government notes in 1869 for 1 and 5 pounds. In 1919, a new series of 4 and 10 shillings, and 1 pound notes was introduced, with 5 pound notes reintroduced after 1936.

· Assad released militants from prison in 2011 so that they would overwhelm secular moderates.
· Proof of this is that the Syrian Army does not attack ISIL targets.
· Assad has a close history with militants – he sent hundreds over the border into Iraq to join the insurgency against US forces and is now suffering blowback.
But as a global confrontation with ISIL mounts, an entirely different picture has begun to emerge. The US-led coalition’s five Arab Sunni partners are providing little less than fig-leaf cover for airstrike operations. NATO has been unable to wrest – to date – a commitment from Turkey to enforce serious border security to stop militants from crossing over into Iraq and Syria. In recent weeks, western media has unleashed a flurry of articles pointing to Qatar’s role in funding extremists.
Clearly, America’s Sunni Arab and Turkish allies are approaching the ‘ISIL Project’ with something less than enthusiasm.
He, of course, failed to mention Washington’s own arming, training and funding activities coordinated with these very same allies. Predictably, Biden was forced to ‘apologize’ for his undiplomatic comments over the weekend.
Has the Syrian government exploited extremism while at the same time fighting a three-year nationwide military campaign to thwart it? Perhaps. Politics are opportunistic by nature.
The Syrian MB regroups for a “new round of fighting” in late 1980, announces the formation of an ‘Islamic Front’ and increases cooperation with the Sunni (Baathist) government of Iraq which had helped the MB covertly in 1979-80 to oust Assad.
On February 24, 2010, a Cable classified as ‘Secret’ was dispatched from the US Embassy in Damascus to the CIA, DIA, National Security Council, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Office of Homeland Security and a smattering of key US embassies in the Middle East and Europe.
It details the communications between Syria’s General Intelligence Director (GID) Ali Mamlouk who dropped in on a meeting between Syria’s Vice Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad and a US delegation, headed by State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism Daniel Benjamin.
The participants discuss possible future security and intelligence cooperation on issues related to terrorism, particularly on the Syria-Iraq border.
What is notable about this US-framed communiqué is that the American delegation does not take any of the Syrian officials in the room to task for ‘encouraging and coordinating’ the passage of extremist fighters from Syria into Iraq to participate in an insurgency against US forces. This accusation has become a key narrative advanced by Washington in recent years, so why not challenge the Syrians face-to-face when the opportunity is there?
The tactics described by Mamlouk explain, in part, why Syrian forces today do not typically launch assaults on terrorist groups unless there is an immediate and direct threat to its military strategy of maintaining control over key areas and disrupting rebel supply lines.
While groups like ISIL are viewed as a security threat, they have not always posed an imminent one.
For the better part of the Syrian conflict, ISIL has not controlled the “priority zones” of the Syrian Army. Those areas have always been Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Hama and their surrounding countryside (Rif), with Quseir and Qalamoun, Daraa, Tal Kalakh and other border towns playing an important role. When ISIL fighters have been present in those areas, the Syrian Army has fought them – as in Qalamoun and the Damascus suburbs.
Nevertheless, the Syrian air force did take immediate action when ISIL escalated in Mosul in June, which changed the geopolitical dynamic well beyond the Syrian-Iraqi border. Kerry is misleading when he suggests that Assad will not strike ISIL headquarters: this is about timing and gain from both a military and political perspective – not necessarily a response that trigger-happy Americans can understand.
As for accusations that the Syrians have released militants from their prisons to ‘populate’ ideologically extremist rebel groups that will make Assad look like an angel… You can’t have it both ways – political prisoner releases were initiated to defuse conflict and demonstrate leniency. Were some of these prisoners ‘extremists’ of the variety that man Islamist rebel groups? Almost certainly. But that was the Sunni constituency that the Syrian government was also trying to placate in the early days.
Even today, after grueling ‘reconciliation’ negotiations, the Syrian government is allowing these very rebels to ‘go free’ after they lay down their arms – this, according to volunteers involved in negotiations from Homs to Rif Damascus. What is to stop these same ‘reformed rebels’ from hopping over to al-Raqqa and taking up bigger arms? Should the Syrian government kill them instead? How does one win in a situation like this?
Critics of Syria’s prisoner releases should be reminded of the Big One carried out by the Americans in 2009 when they allegedly freed future ISIL ‘Caliph’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from an Iraqi prison.
Does anyone have the right to point fingers after that monumental gaff? The fact is – from Saudi Arabia to Qatar, from Turkey to the United States, from Iraq to France – there appears to be plenty of complicity in fueling ISIL and the jihadi phenomenon. Is Syria complicit too? It depends who is asking – and why.

it still irks me a lot when the west continue its narrative as you mentioned in your analysis of a sunni-shia clash in Syria implying that a minority,alawi,is governing a majority,sunnis.I lost count of the numbers of times I have been to Syria prior to 2011,I lived there briefly in the seventies,my daughter studied at Damascus university in the summer of 2010 and from the (little )I know the core of the syrian state and elite who govern the country are sunnis.One could say that the power structure reflect more or less the demographic balance of the country.I always thought of president Assad as the real son of the sunni bourgeoisie in Syria.Maybe you could one day debunk all these lying ?and deconstruct all this imaginary sunni shia divide as the shia in the country are a small minority .All this war is for geopolitical gains,Anglozionist against our Axis of Resistance.

For one-night only, ANU superstar Astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker will visit Heathfield, SA to talk about the Universe and the future of space followed by an evening of stargazing with the audience.
In the past few decades, rapid progress in technology has led to a complete change in our view of the Universe. In the next few decades, this will change even more as we become an inter-planetary species. Dr Brad Tucker will talk about some of these discoveries, from planets around other stars, to exploring the Universe and maybe even visiting other planets, and show we are now turning science fiction into reality.
Dr Brad Tucker is an Astrophysicist/Cosmologist, and currently a Research Fellow at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Mt. Stromlo Observatory and the National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science at ANU. Brad received Bachelor's degrees in Physics, Philosophy, and Theology from the University of Notre Dame. He then undertook a PhD at Mt. Stromlo Observatory at the Australian National University. He is currently working on projects trying to discover the true nature of dark energy, the mysterious substance causing the accelerating expansion of the Universe, which makes up 70% of the Universe. He's one of the leads of the Kepler Extra-Galactic Survey, a Kepler Space Telescope Key Program, to understand why and how stars blow up. He is also leading a project to build a network of ultraviolet telescopes in the upper atmosphere, which are being built at Mt. Stromlo, a search to find Planet 9 - a hypothetical new planet on the edges of our Solar System, as well as a new mission to capture and mine an asteroid.
Stargazing with Dr Tucker will take place after the event outdoors at Heathfield High School campus. Feel free to bring your own telescope to stargaze.
This event is proudly sponsored by Stirling East Primary School and Excellence for All-Sky Astronomy in 3D (ASTRO 3D).

FC Barcelona is a giant name in European sport, and the basketball side of the club is no different. As Gambling.com points out in a post offering tips on basketball betting, the Blaugrana and their rivals from Madrid mirror the better-known football sides by being considered annual favorites for European glory. Through the early part of this Euroleague campaign both sides have taken care of business, but Barcelona now faces a difficult challenge from a talented Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul squad while Madrid is facing a Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari team that has yet to win a game in the competition.
On Thursday Barcelona will take on the Turkish side loaded with talent, including 2011 NBA lottery pick Jan Vesely, 2014 first round pick Bogdan Bogdanović, and 2014 EuroCup MVP Andrew Goudelock. Despite all the talent on the roster, Fenerbahce is coming off a loss in their most recent Euroleague contest, having fallen to a Panathinaikos Athens team that tied a club record with 18 made three-pointers.
That loss dropped the 2013-2014 Turkish champs to 2-1 in Euroleague, ceding possession of first place in Group C to Barcelona alone. For their part, the Spaniards have run roughshod over PGE Turow Zgorzelec and EA7 Emporio Armani Milan after a two point victory over FC Bayern Munich in a tremendously well-played game that was their first of competition.
Barcelona is led by players like Ante Tomić, Juan Carlos Navarro, and rising star Alex Abrines. Following a successful Asian tour, Barcelona have been excellent no matter the competition, going 7-1 between league and European play, with the lone loss coming against FIATC Joventut in an 83-82 contest that came down to the wire. The game against Fenerbahce will serve as the first opportunity to rebound positively from that loss.
They will go to Turkey looking to continue that recent run of success and also add to their historic dominance against Fenerbahce. All-time, the Catalan club is 20-5 against their Turkish foes, and 8-4 in Istanbul, the site of this week’s contest. Adding another win will be tough against such a quality opponent, but doing so should go a long way in shaping the Euroleague hopes for the Blaugrana.
FC Barcelona and Fenerbahce Ulker Istanbul play on Thursday, November 6 at 9:00 CET from Istanbul. It is the fourth Euroleague game of the 2014/2015 schedule for both teams.

I’ve been trying to sort out my financial aid situation over the past couple of weeks. I’ve been checking my student account regularly to make sure all necessary paperwork has been completed. I noticed that I had a bill for a few thousand dollars. As an undergraduate, I never actually saw a billed amount because financial aid would automatically take care of my bill, leaving my account balance at $0 all the time. It came as a surprise to me when I logged into my account one day to see that I actually owed money.
Immediately, I checked my financial aid tab to see what was going on. It said all my paperwork was complete. Well, I leaned towards the overly cautious side since the bill was due in two weeks or I’d get a late fee on top of the already ridiculous amount of tuition I owed. I went into the financial aid office and found out that I just had to get my department to notify them of the amount of support I’d be receiving, even if it was no support. I got that all taken care of quickly. Then, my account updated to reflect that I needed to sign a promissory note to be disbursed a loan amount. I went to the financial aid website and filled out all the paperwork. It reflected my old name, so I contacted them to ask about getting it changed to my new name. They informed me that I had to get it change through the school, which I had already done. At this point I thought everything was taken care of, but I continued to check my account daily (if not more) to make sure everything went through.
A week passed, and still the promissory note hadn’t been checked off on the to-do list. Today, I decided to go into the financial aid office again. I went in and it was packed (since classes officially start on Thursday). They called me back, and I explained that I had already filled out the promissory note, but I recently had a name change so it reflected my old name. The lady, Beth, seemed genuinely surprised when she saw that my old name was April. She went to go check with someone. She came back and said that I would have to get my name change through the US Department of Education and sign a new promissory note since the only name they have on file for me now is August. I told her that I already contacted them, and they told me that I just had to change my name through the school. This went on for a couple of minutes until the associate director of financial aid, Esteban, came in and introduced himself. Beth explained the situation, all the while using male pronouns (yay! I was worried after she saw my birth name that she’d revert to female pronouns). Esteban told me he’d look into, gave me his card, and sent me on my way.
Despite the frustration of having issues involving my name change and having to out myself to others who would have otherwise known no different, I was pretty happy to be correctly pronouned and such even after they found out that I am trans. I’ve noticed more and more that people are reading me as male (or just avoiding assigning a gender to me at all).
At the end of the day, I got a call from Esteban (he left a voicemail since I get poor reception in lab) saying that everything was taken care of, and my account would be updated tonight. I was really happy with the quick response. I want to email him and thank him for getting it taken care of so fast without me having to jump through hoops.
TL;DR: Word of advice for those changing their names while in school, make sure you stay organized and on top of getting required paperwork handed in. Don’t just assume that it will be taken care of on its own. There may be special circumstances. Well, even if not in school, changing your name requires you to be more organized than the average person.

Armstrong, K. and B.L. Forslund.
At an inactive manufacturing facility in Belmont County, Ohio, chlorinated VOCs (TCE and daughter products DCE and VC) were documented in groundwater, saturated and unsaturated soils, and fractured bedrock. The chlorinated VOC baseline total ranged >50,000 µg/L to >1,000,000 µg/L. Existing pump and treat operating since the mid-2000s utilized 3 extraction wells for hydraulic containment in fill/alluvial soils overlying sandstone/shale bedrock. A pilot evaluation of the biostimulant ERDenhanced™ was performed March 2013-May 2014. The pilot used additive-filled passive-release-sock deployment units replaced at 8-10 week intervals to amend the 3-ft area of influence. Groundwater monitoring data showed that each amended location at T=17 months realized >98% reductions, which led to expansion of the treatment area to 35 ft x 35 ft (10 ft vertical component) and additional injections of biostimulant slurry. Analytical testing was performed quarterly through October 2016. This treatability evaluation demonstrated that the pilot results were transferable to full-scale application and that the biostimulation product provided a sustainable and cost-effective remediation strategy for dissolved-phase/residual mass chlorinated VOCs.

Now that you’ve made up your mind about getting colored contact lenses, let’s delve deep into what kind of colored lenses are right for you.
Colored lenses can either be prescription lenses or plano contacts. Prescription lenses help you correct an issue with your eyesight as well as change the way your eye looks. Plano contacts, on the other hand, are purely worn for cosmetic purposes.
Visibility Tint: These lenses only have a slight tint making it easier for you to locate your lenses over transparent contacts.
Enhancement Tint: These are translucent lenses that add a hint of color to your natural iris.
Opaque Tint: These lenses are completely opaque and transform the color of your eye.
When to get the visibility tint lenses?
If your only issue with your lenses is that you find them hard to wear or locate in case you drop them on the floor, get the visibility tint.
When to get the enhancement tint lenses?
If you want to experiment with colored contacts and aren’t sure about which color suits you, try the enhancement tint lenses. This will help you ease into the idea of wearing colored contacts.
When to buy the opaque tint?
If you wish to wear colored prescription lenses, make sure it is a color that suits you. If the colored lenses are merely for special events, you can choose any color you like.
If you have light colored eyes, choose the enhancement tint as it will easily cover the natural color of your iris. If you have dark colored eyes, enhancement tint will not give you good results. You will have to choose the opaque tint for best results.
What to keep in mind when buying colored lenses?
Colored lenses may cost a little more than regular lenses. So, if you have an issue with your eyesight, factor in the cost that you will incur with monthly or weekly colored lenses.
Keep in mind that whether you wish to purchase contact lenses for merely cosmetic reasons, you still need to be fitted and take an eye exam before you can buy colored contacts. Although they are for aesthetics, they are still a medical device and must be treated as such. Remember that if you blink too much, your colored lenses may be displaced from the center giving it a less than natural look. This may also happen if you enter a brightly lit room causing your pupil to constrict. If the user wants to get the original glasses, then the user must search for a number of products and should spend more money. Sometimes it is difficult to find so user uses the fake product.
Colored lenses – enhancement or opaque – aren’t often monochromatic. They have slight undertones and designs to mimic the natural look of the iris. You can play and experiment with such lenses until you find the one that suits you the best.
If you’re in the market to buy colored lenses, consider Air optix colors contact lenses. They have vibrant colors and the lens is highly breathable that promotes healthy looking whites in the eyes. Air optix colors have a unique technology that blends with your natural eye color to give it a more natural look.
You may also want to look at Solotica lenses that have a whole line of colored contacts that appear natural. The Solotica lenses do not have a limbal ring which is often a tell-tale sign of someone wearing contacts. Therefore it’s extremely natural looking and opacity is high enough to cover the iris fully and to completely change the eye color.
If you aren’t happy with what’s readily available, you can always have lens manufacturers make a custom color for you. Obviously, the cost for such custom lenses will be far more but worth it. Custom lenses aren’t worn purely for cosmetic reasons either. Several sportsmen also use it to increase their performance.
The lenses are made to use anytime and the display is designed with advanced technology so that without removing the lens user can view the real time activities, they connect to social media by connecting with the GPs. The brand which is used to make these glasses will never make the user to feel bad.

With Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) quickly approaching, Sharon and I thought it would a be a good time to give you a brief update on our open source Verified Accessibility Samples project – or Va11yS. Jack Dam, our Accessibility Test Engineer, has been rigorously testing the latest samples and adding the results for the iOS VoiceOver and Android Talkback screen readers. Sharon has been refreshing test results, mitigating merge conflicts, and rendering React samples. We’ve all been brushing up on the latest frameworks like React, Angular and Vue in an effort to add new samples to the repository and to keep pace with the ever-changing landscape that is accessibility.
First, a brief history for readers unfamiliar with our Va11yS project. The idea came about when we were looking for a consistent way to test updates to assistive technologies (AT) and operating systems (OSs). Our first thought was: “Let’s build a collection of sample pages that would cover a wide range of scenarios”. But where to start? Well, having been long standing members of the W3C WCAG Working Group – and knowing that the WCAG Techniques pages are full of code snippets – it made perfect sense to grab those snippets and turn them into live working samples.
We also felt that it was important keep the samples, as well as the entire site simple by design. We want to ensure that the code is easily understandable and reusable. The idea is to test each sample with a variety of ATs and OSs with our primary AT focus on screen reader testing. Also note, there is no pass/fail system. Instead we simply log what the screen reader announces for each sample. When an issue arises, developers and testers can compare their code and AT against our findings and easily determine if the problem is on their end or if the issue is due to a bug in the AT, user agent or OS. Va11yS is also a great resource for folks new to developing accessible web content, and a means to them get familiar with using a screen reader for accessibility testing.
After we had a collection of code samples it only made sense to turn this into an open source project and make it available to everyone, so they can use and contribute to the project. Today we have nearly 200 code samples in the repository and roughly 600 different combinations of AT test results – covering VoiceOver on iOS; Talkback on Android; and JAWS on Windows. We’ve scraped nearly all of the code snippets from WCAG 2.0 HTML, ARIA, and General techniques. Sharon has started adding a few React samples to the repository, and both Jack and Sharon have started digging into Angular.
We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback from teams who are using the Va11yS samples to develop and test new accessibility tools, and then using the code samples to verify the output of their tools. In addition, other folks have found the code samples are an excellent resource for accessibility training. It’s been interesting to hear all the various ways that teams are making use of the repository.
What’s next for Va11yS? That’s really up to you, the readers and open source contributors to decide! We’re happy that so many teams are finding the repository useful and we welcome you to join our team as new contributors. If you’re new to open source, Va11yS is the perfect project for you to wade into the pool.
For developers, the skill level runs the gamut. We can use everything from simple HTML and CSS, to more complex frameworks like React, Angular or Vue. We also have plenty of room for Swift and Android applications. If you have a platform that you prefer to develop on, we have a home for your accessible code in Va11yS.
For testers, we can always use your help “verifying” the samples to ensure they are indeed accessible and logging the results on how your AT works with each sample on different platforms. As standards change retesting is also an important aspect of keeping our code samples viable. As we start delving into more complex applications and code samples, we think it would be a good idea to record keyboard navigation results on new submissions to include data on whether the application uses standard keyboard patterns.
If you’re a technical writer, we can also use your input for our Contributor guide, Code of Conduct, and help files. Bottom line, if you have an interest in accessibility and/or open source we welcome you to contribute to the Va11yS project.
With WCAG 2.1 finalizing this summer we’re also anticipating a slew of new techniques that should be added to the repository. There are plenty of new ideas around low vision, touch, mobile and cognitive that will be needed to support teams in meeting the new success criteria introduced with WCAG 2.1. This also means that the current code samples will need to be retested to the latest standards. We’re looking to get ahead of the game so that you can begin following the new guidance as soon as it’s released.
That’s what we have going on with Va11yS. What are you doing for GAAD? We’d love to hear from you!
BTW, if you’re newer to accessibility the name Va11yS might be throwing you off a bit. The abbreviation a11y (the letter a, plus the number 11, plus y) is a form of a numeronym. Some other common numeronyms are W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), i18n (internationalization) and g11n (globalization). With numeronyms, numbers replace letters in an abbreviation to symbolize the count of how many letters were removed in the word between the first and last letter.
Numeronyms are used worldwide commonly in software engineering abbreviations. In her blog post, 10 Numeronyms Web Developers Should Know, Anna Monus puts a11y in the top 4 on her list.

My weekend's booked up with stuff to do, but this patch shouldn't take long at all to whip up. I'll see what I can do.
Thank you for this patch but It still gave me the same results because iBrowser.app are using similar webview as Safari does so can you create a private patch or open source just for me that will work for my iBrowser.app?
Unless your app bundle identifier is com.apple.Safari, it should work; my guess is that the plugin isn't installed in the correct path.
Try this movie in QuickTime. if you can see yourself, the plugin works as expected; if not, it's not properly installed.
I assumed that something is wrong because of this but am I wrong?
2) Is it possible to modify the existing patch or to obtain on how it works from christopher so I can correcting it myself?
I might be misunderstanding here: Are you loading the safemidi patch? that's not going to modify video (I'm guessing you're using both?) -- if you are using both, where's the line for saveVideo?
loading qtz's as you've described shouldn't be a problem. What are you using to render the composition, a QCRenderer or a QCView? If you're using a QCView and private (bundled in the application) plugins, you'll need to add a few lines to main.m to make it load them properly in time for the QCView to honour them. Otherwise, they'll not get loaded, and it won't work correctly. If you're using a QCRenderer, can you post (or, e-mail me) some of the code around where you're loading the plugins?
You may also be experiencing difficulties because you're using QCPatch to register the plugins, not GFNodeManager (or something.. can't remember off the top of my head) -- because the safe-mode hacks have to use the unofficial API, you have to have QC load them in a slightly different way. If this is the problem, I can dig up the code to load it properly; just let me know.
The error log you posted says "Patch class "QCVideoInput" is not allowed in safe mode" --- this means the composition you're loading is still using the old, standard Video Input patch, not the one cwright supplied.
He should be using the same one; the modern safe-mode patches (midi and video) modify the existing patch, rather than subclassing to create a new one. This way the composition will gracefully work on machines without the plugin installed (unless the environment is safe mode, where it'll fail as normal). So this isn't actually a problem.
Oh, I hadn't realized you updated the mechanism behind the safemode-altering hack. Sweet. Yeah, that sounds like a more transparent solution.
NSCocoa, please disregard my previous comment.
What is the correct path of system location?
/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/ for system-wide plugins, or /Users/[your name here]/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches/ for plugins for your user only.
It never worked because I didn't knew that SafeMidiPatch.plugin was exists so I put in both at this time and everything did work well than I've expected!

David is one of the most complicated characters in the Old Testament. He was a shepherd boy, a celebrated soldier, an annointed king, a charismatic leader, a man of worship, and had a heart for God. Yet, he was an adulterer who plotted the murder of the man who’s wife he impregnated. He was a man of deep emotion, who poured out his heart to God again and again. He vacilated between fearful for the future and trusting completely in God.
Join us this summer at Waterbrook as we study the life of this complicated servant of God. We’ll look at points of his life, his writings, his experiences – and discover what we can learn for our own lives.
This series will include an incredible line up of wonderful preachers who are helping cover David’s story with their own unique perspective and approach. This isn’t a gathering of second-string teachers to cover summer vacation weeks, but a gathering of some the best teachers we have at Waterbrook to investigate such a deep life. Our list of summer preachers include men who have taught and preached locally and around the world. The complete schedule is listed below.
Waterbrook Bible Fellowship worship services are on Sunday mornings at 9:30 and 10:55 a.m. Waterbrook is located at 507 Thomas Street in Wylie, Texas.
Sermons are available each week on iTunes under the Waterbrook Bible Fellowship Sermon Podcast. Sermon videos are available via this website and on Vimeo.

Rebecca Grainger is a member of the Institute for Learning's Disciplinary Literacy Science Team. Read on to learn about her life with the four-legged namesake of a famous geneticist.
What did you do before coming to the IFL?
Before coming to the IFL I was in public education, as a high school science teacher, for just shy of 10 years. I worked with a population of high minority, lower income students in a struggling school. I absolutely loved being “in the trenches.” Teaching is ridiculously rewarding but it is also tough. Really tough. And exhausting, in both rewarding and difficult ways. You want so much for your students to see the beauty of an education and the opportunity it provides. It’s one thing for them to regurgitate something you’ve taught or said. But I think the real breakthrough is when kids start to “feel” what they are learning. If we can find a way for education to spark an emotional response, something kids want to hold on to and want more of, that’s when we have really helped form a learner. That can be life changing. It’s not easy though. Nor is there a guaranteed way to achieve this. And as a teacher, sometimes it feels like you want it more than your students do.
What drew you to the IFL?
One of the things that drew me to the IFL is the approach of changing the way we think about the process of learning. While there are definitely similarities between schools around the country, there are also a lot of differences. What is refreshing to me, especially being relatively fresh out of the classroom, is that the IFL doesn’t ask you to throw everything out. We also don’t come in claiming to know the entire situation, population, or a surefire solution. Instead, we help teachers think and be reflective about their approach and the needs of their learners. Sometimes a shift in how the situation is viewed or giving people the opportunity to stop and think can make a powerful impact. We want students to be lifelong learners, I think it’s fair that we ask educators to challenge their thinking and to be reflective learners as well. It’s never too late to make shifts to better your approach to teaching and learning. I feel like when I’m working with teachers, I’m constantly learning and evolving also. I love that.
I think science (for me life science!) is incredibly interesting. I realize that not everyone is going to be drawn to science concepts, but the process of thinking scientifically and problem solving is valuable to everyone. Science is a great avenue to teach kids skills that can be applied to all disciplines and to life outside of school.
What keeps you in education?
I truly believe everyone deserves an opportunity to an education. I think receiving a quality learning experience is a real gift. I think we are at a crossroads in American education. Not all schools are equal. By equal I don’t mean the same, not all schools should be the same. But all schools should offer quality opportunities. We aren’t there, but I believe we can get there. I want to be part of that process.
What is one of the biggest struggles in education?
I think we want kids to come into the classroom ready to learn, but we forget all the things we were taught in order to be ready. You really do have to learn to want to learn. Or at least be exposed to the process of learning in a positive light. We also need to teach the ability to overcome the fear of failing. Failing is scary. In schools we have to make it safe to make mistakes. And then instill the belief that once you flop, you get up, try again and do it better.
I also think we need to better involve communities in our schools. We need to be realistic about where kids are coming from. I think communities and parents want to be involved. We need to have better communication about needs between our communities and schools.
What education books are you reading right now?
I really enjoyed the both of Paul Tough's books. Both made me think about the choices we are making in education. I also really enjoy listening to podcasts. This American Life and Radiolab are my favorites. They aren’t directly about education, but they draw you in and present information so creatively! And they often indirectly give me ideas about education.
Was education important in your family growing up?
Both of my parents were first in their family to go to college. They always put a huge emphasis on the importance of education. Formal education was important but my parents would also take us (I have 3 sisters) to festivals and museums to expose us to other cultures and different ways of learning. We had this contest growing up where you would write the books you had read on your list on the refrigerator. When you reached a certain number of books, my dad would take us to this labyrinth of a used bookstore to pick out a “new” book. I loved the smell of that bookstore!
How did these experiences translate into your adult life?
Going to museums is still one of my favorite leisure activities. I can spend hours wandering through rooms, especially in art and nature and science museums. I remember the first time I saw a Rothko painting. It was in the Tate Modern in London. It took my breath away. I sat there with my husband, just staring, looking at all of the beautiful nuances Rothko captured in his work. Afterwards we were mentally spent from the experience. Absolutely amazing.
I hear you have two dogs who can occasionally drag you away from science, books, and museums and into the great outdoors. Tell us a little about them and about the sand dunes.
Well, here we are at the Sand Dunes National Park but you can't say we got away from science altogether. A couple years ago I recruited my husband to take pictures for one of our IFL science units. We camped in the Great Sand Dunes National Park on our "landforms vacation" when we were taking photographs for an IFL unit on, you guessed it, landforms.
We have two dogs, Zhela and Benzer. Zhela, short for Anzhela, is a husky mix (we're not sure since we adopted her from the Humane Society) so my husband picked a Russian name. She loves being outside, especially when it's cold. Because of her outdoor obsession she loves camping, except for the sleeping in a tent part. Zhela couldn't get enough of the miles of sand.
Benzer came home with me during my senior year of college. I went to a local pet store for fish food and came home with a puppy that someone had left on their door step. He is the most wonderful, not well thought out, decision I have ever made. I named him after Seymour Benzer, a geneticist who worked on linking genes and behavior. When I adopted Benzer (the dog) I was reading Time, Love, Memory by Jonathan Weiner. The book discusses Benzer, the scientist's, work. I loved the book. In fact it is one of the few books that has always made it through my book purges, an annual ritual where I go through every book on my shelf and sort between those that stay and those that are donated. Thirteen years later the book is still sitting on my shelf and Benzer is comfortably snuggled at my feet.

UPDATED: Game Of Thrones Season 8 Official Trailer Has Arrived - You're Welcome!
December 7, 2018 March 6, 2019 Gary Gambletv, upcoming releases to watch out for .
The official trailer for the 8th and final season of Game Of Thrones has just dropped.
It feels like we have been waiting several lifetimes for the return of HBO’s Game Of Thrones. When season 7 ended, it was uncertain when the show would return for its final season. Now, not only do we know the release details Game Of Thrones Season 8, but we also have the first trailer to share with you.
The final season of HBO’S Game Of Thrones will consist of only 6 episodes. I initially thought that the final season would have 8 episodes?. Now I am reading that there’s only going to be six, that’s a bit of a blow to the soul. I do hope everyone knows at this stage that each episode of Game Of Thrones season 8 will be a feature-length episode. Yup, even though we have fewer episodes, each episode of Game Of Thrones season 8 will be the length of a movie.
Game Of Thrones Season 8 will premiere in April 2019. I am sure fans already know, but when Game Of Thrones finally airs its last episode, we won’t have long to wait for spinoffs. Nothing has been confirmed yet on which characters will get their own series but it is reported that there are multiple spinoffs in the works. Who would you like to see get their own tv show?.
More updates to follow as the news is announced. As always, thanks for reading.

Any automobile accident has the potential to be devastating. However, when children are involved, and suffer severe injuries or death, the situation becomes much more emotionally painful and difficult to overcome. There are many accidents where all vehicles involved have been following traffic laws, and the accident is just an unfortunate situation of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. In more tragic situations, serious traffic violations, such as street racing, contribute to an accident that most certainly could have been prevented. Continue reading to learn more.
Street racing has become a growing problem all across the United States, and many innocent people, including children, have lost their lives as a result. Just last month, three children passed away after the vehicle driven by their mother was struck by two cars traveling at more than 100 miles per hour. According to the news report, two of the young children died shortly after the accident, and the third child died a week following the accident. The mother survived, but sustained injuries.
The individuals involved in causing the accident are thought to have been illegally street racing. They both face multiple criminal charges, but no punishment can bring back the lives of the three innocent children who were killed. Sometimes these types of unfortunate tragedies occur, and it is important for all of us to take steps to prevent such accidents from happening in the future.
Failing to stop at red lights and stop signs.
When injuries and death result from accidents involving any type of illegal conduct, the innocent victims and their families should rightfully seek compensation to account for their suffering. Many people shy away from speaking with an attorney for a variety of reasons that are quite understandable. However, when it comes to injuries that resulted from an accident caused by another person or party's negligent and, in some cases, criminal conduct, an attorney can be a true advocate who represents your rights and interests.

Over 4,000 Saudi mercenaries, including 178 commanders, have been killed during the year-long Riyadh-led war against Yemen, a Yemeni intelligence source said on Thursday.
"At least, 4,000 Saudi mercenaries have been killed during the savage aggression of the Saudi-led Arab coalition against Yemen in the past one year," the source told FNA.
He said that tens of the Saudi mercenaries killed by the Yemeni army and popular forces have been Sudanese, Djiboutian, and even Chechnian nationals, adding that 178 commanders are seen among the Saudi death toll in Yemen war, "a fact that has always been kept secret the Saudi media".
His remarks came after the Yemeni army and popular forces destroyed the Saudi military positions and bases in Ma'rib province with a ballistic missile, killing tens of the kingdom's forces.
The Qaher-I ballistic missile hit Saudi Arabia's Tadavin military base in Ma'rib province in Yemen on Wednesday, Arabic-language media outlets reported.
The Yemeni forces have fired tens of missiles on the military positions and gathering centers of Saudi-led coalition so far, killing hundreds of Saudi forces and injuring many more.
In a relevant development last week, the Qaher-I missile hit al-Khanjar military base in al-Jawf province, destroying their military hardware and equipment.
Scores of Saudi forces were killed and injured in the Yemeni missile strikes.
In late February, a Yemeni Tochka missile hit the Saudi-led coalition's military base in Ma'rib province, killing tens of coalition servicemen, including 8 senior Saudi and UAE officers.
A Commander of Yemen's Ansarullah Movement confirmed firing of the ballistic missile at the Ma'as military base in Ma'rib in Central Yemen.
He noted that at least 48 Saudi forces were killed in Yemen's Tochka missile attack.
Also on February 3, the Yemeni forces rained down a barrage of missiles at the Saudi forces' military tower in Al-Dokhan region in Jizan province in Southern Saudi Arabia.
Al-Dokhan tower was reportedly destroyed in the Yemeni missile attacks in Jizan as eyewitnesses said that they had seen smoke rising from it.
The Yemeni army and popular forces regained control of Al-Khurma region in Asir province after they destroyed two arms depots and other military hardware of the Yemeni forces in the region.
Meantime, the Yemeni army's artillery units pounded Malhama military base in Jizan province. The Saudi troops started fleeing their base as soon as they came under the missile attack, FNA reported.

US job growth likely rebounded in October, with wages expected to have recorded their largest annual gain in 9-1/2 years, pointing to further labour market tightening that could encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again in December.
The Labour Department’s closely watched monthly employment report on Friday is also expected to show the unemployment rate steady at a 49-year low of 3.7 per cent.
Sustained labour market strength could ease fears about the economy’s health following weak housing data and stalling business spending, reports Reuters.
Payrolls rose by 134,000 jobs in September, the smallest gain in a year, after Hurricane Florence drenched North and South Carolina, weighing on restaurant and retail employment.
But the anticipated bounce back in job growth is likely to be tempered some what by Hurricane Michael, which struck the Florida Panhandle in mid-October.
“The employment report should help calm some concerns that the economy is slowing more quickly than it really is, the economy is really in good shape,” said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody’s Analytics in Westchester, Pennsylvania.
Average hourly earnings are forecast rising 0.2 per cent in October after advancing 0.3 per cent in September. This would boost the annual increase in the wages to 3.1 per cent, the biggest gain since April 2009, from 2.8 per cent in September.
Strong annual wage growth would mirror other data published this week showing wages and salaries rising in the third quarter by the most since mid-2008. Hourly compensation also increased at a brisk pace in the third quarter.
Firming wages support views that inflation will hover around the Fed’s 2.0 per cent target for a while. The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding the volatile food and energy components has increased 2.0 per cent for five straight months.
The Fed is not expected to raise rates at its meeting next Wednesday, but economists believe strong labour market data could see the US central bank signal an increase in December. The Fed raised borrowing costs in September for the third time this year.

Military spouse attorneys often have to place their own careers on hold as they constantly move around the globe to accompany their servicemember on their military assignments. Too often, dreams of a career in the legal profession are sacrificed when they find themselves in locations that offer few job opportunities for attorneys, or because their frequent moves create resumé gaps that are red flags to hiring managers. To help remedy this situation, the Military Spouse JD Network (MSJDN) created the Homefront to Hired program to connect supportive employers with military spouse attorneys. Each year at the Annual Reception, MSJDN honors an employer that has provided meaningful support for military spouse attorneys through Homefront to Hired. MSJDN is thrilled to announce that this year’s recipient is Prudential Financial, Inc.
Prudential, headquartered in Newark, NJ and one of the world’s largest financial institutions, has been similarly concerned about employment issues faced by military veterans and military spouses. In 2010, the company created an Office of Veterans Initiatives to coordinate and expand the company’s programs to recruit, train, employ and promote talented veterans and military spouses. Since then, GI Jobs magazine has designated Prudential a Military Friendly Employer® for six consecutive years; and Military Times magazine has listed Prudential as a “Best for Vets Employer” for seven consecutive years. And in 2014, Prudential opened a technology and business services center in El Paso, Texas – home to Fort Bliss – where it had identified unique talent opportunities for transitioning military service members and spouses of active duty service members assigned to Fort Bliss.
MSJDN member Jennifer Vercellone has five bar licenses and three corporate licenses in states generous enough to allow in-house counsel to practice based on out-of-state licenses. In her 13 years of practice as a lawyer, Jennifer has moved eight times as a result of her husband’s military career. Although she has substantial experience and skills, Jennifer found that her nomadic lifestyle, courtesy of the military, was an obstacle to upward mobility within her in-house counsel career.
Last year, through Homefront to Hired, MSJDN member Jennifer Vercellone learned about an in-house position at Prudential. Before applying for the job, Jennifer asked fellow MSJDN member Erin Hennessey Davidson to review her resumé. Erin, who was aware of Prudential’s eagerness to connect with military spouse candidates, did more – she shared Jennifer’s resumé with a colleague at Prudential. Subsequently, Prudential asked Jennifer to apply online for the job and schedule time for an interview. Jennifer says that for the first time in her career as a lawyer, she let go of her fears about explaining the frequent moves evident on her resumé and simply focused on her background, her skills, and what she could bring to the table. Several rounds of interviews later, Prudential offered her a fully remote, in-house legal position.
Jennifer has now been working for Prudential since July 2015, as Vice-President and Corporate Counsel in the Operations & Systems Law Section of the Law, Compliance, Business Ethics and External Affairs Department. Her responsibilities include management of a variety of vendor contracts and transactions for the acquisition of goods and services such as consulting agreements, outsourcing transactions, and software license and services agreements.
Instead of a traditional office, Jennifer works from a dedicated home office using IT support, office equipment and supplies provided by Prudential. And most important of all, none of this will change with her husband’s next military assignment – foreign or domestic!
Since hiring Jennifer, Prudential has posted other positions with the Homefront to Hired program and considers it a valuable resource in seeking qualified military spouse attorneys. Prudential’s flexibility with alternate work arrangements works perfectly with its commitment to supporting military spouse employment. And with its robust legal, compliance, business ethics and government affairs staff, a relationship with MSJDN and Homefront to Hired is a natural.
MSJDN is extremely grateful for the support Pr udential has shown for military spouse attorneys and the mission to remove barriers to employment for military spouse attorneys. For these reasons, we are thrilled to present the 2016 Homefront to Hired Award to Prudential as a measure of our appreciation. This award recognizes law firms and organizations that have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to hiring military spouse attorneys. We look forward to an ongoing partnership with Prudential in support of military spouses and their families.
Please join us for the Annual Reception on Thursday, May 12, for the presentation of the Homefront to Hired Award and other 2016 MSJDN honors. It will be held at the Association of the U.S. Army in Arlington, VA, and is always a fabulous evening of celebration and networking in support of military spouses in the legal profession! This year is special as MSJDN marks its fifth anniversary and celebrates the incredible changes in licensing and support for military spouse attorneys accomplished in those five years. We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you!
Annual Reception tickets and more information are available on the event page.

Judy Murray officially opened Arbroath Tennis Club’s new state-of-the-art all-weather courts on Wednesday 9th March. The Scottish tennis coach put the club’s youngsters through their paces before conducting the grand opening. She assisted club coaches Mark Walker and Ruaridh MacLeod before holding a question and answer session. She also drew the winning ticket for a tennis racquet signed by her son Andy. Club fundraising over the last few years, plus the support of many local trusts and organisations, saw the court upgrade begin in mid-August. The work – carried out by Ecosse Sports – to provide three floodlit all-weather courts means play is now possible throughout the year. This has also allowed the club to build its coaching programme without the constant fear of disruption due to the weather. The club, which was founded in 1909, has more than 100 members and also works closely with schools. It has already helped bring through ATP Tour player Jonny O’Mara and is hopeful of lending a guiding hand to more budding young players in the years to come.
Early 2016 saw the refurbishment of the tired, 20+ year old polymeric tennis courts at Corstorphine Tennis Club get a new lease of life with the installation of TigerTurf ‘Advantage PRO’ in two-tone green/blue. With some localised repairs carried out, the existing polymeric was deemed suitable to install the new synthetic carpet directly on top providing a extra layer of cushion to users. As one of the oldest tennis clubs in Scotland, it is great to see this local club provide a new state-of-the-art tennis facility for the local community.
Ecosse Sports are thrilled to announce that in partnership with Edel Grass B.V. and Whitecraigs Lawn Tennis & Sports Club, the very first ‘Advantage Red’ artificial clay tennis courts have been installed in Scotland. Advantage Red offers exceptional performance akin to a real clay court and can boast the slowest ITF accredited pace rating available (category 1 – slow). In mainland Europe, approximately 300 Advantage Red courts are installed each year which demonstrates its popularity. Whitecraigs opted for this particular surface after months of investigation and trials as to the leading artificial clay product on the market. We are delighted to have been involved in this project and hope that it sparks a number of other clubs in Scotland to consider this surface.
Wallace High School in Stirling has upgraded its existing sand-filled artificial pitch to a 3G to accommodate its ever increasing success in football and rugby at school sport level. The school decided on a 60mm monofilament carpet by DOMO Sports Grass who are a FIFA preferred producer of 3G synthetic turf. See the difference in the facility below.
Gordonstoun School in Elgin synthetic turf hockey pitch was first installed in 1995 making it one of the oldest pitches in Scotland before it finally came to upgrading it in July ’15. Like many other independent schools in Scotland, it decide to install TigerTurf’s ‘Evo PRO’ which is widely regarded within the industry as the best performing sand-dressed hockey product on the market. Ecosse Sports were delighted to be chosen as the preferred contractor for work and add Gordonstoun to other prestigious Scottish independent schools it has worked with including George Heriot’s School, The Mary Erskine School and Strathallan.
Summer 2015 saw the completion of one of the biggest tennis court refurbishment projects in recent times in Scotland as East Lothian Council along with key partners invested more than £600,000 into upgrading 15 courts across 5 different locations. With help from Sportscotland, local trusts and charities as well the individual clubs themselves, Ecosse Sports were delighted to be the principal contractor upgrading the courts at Musselburgh, Haddington, Tranent, Longniddry and East Linton. Musselburgh in particular benefited by being one of only a handful of clubs in Scotland tohave artificial clay as their playing surface, with TigerTurf ‘Clay Court PRO’ installed.
Sport and physical activity has always been a central feature of the curriculum at Strathallan School in Perthshire. The independent school boasts some of the best school sporting facilities in the country and this was further evident in summer 2015 when the school decided to upgrade its outdoor synthetic turf hockey pitch. TigerTurf ‘Evo PRO’ synthetic turf was specified for the new surface which has been used extensively at major worldwide hockey competitions and events all over the UK and abroad. The completed project provides a first class hockey facility for the school to use for both curriculum and competitive match play.
A new three court tennis facility at Volunteer Park in Hawick has finally been completed after a torrid winter delayed the completion of the work. The tennis courts are part of a multi-sports facility plan which is being spearheaded by the Bill McLaren foundation. Since it was created in 2010 following Mr. McLaren’s death, the foundation has raised money which it grants to individuals, clubs and organisations to provide opportunities for young people to participate in sport whilst also promoting qualities valued by Mr. McLaren, such as sportsmanship, respect and discipline.The tennis courts are the first of a three-phase development which includes plans for a new IRB and FIFA-compliant 3G artificial rugby and football pitch, as well as a multi changing facility for the whole community. Ecosse Sports are proud to have worked on a project of such significance and are pleased the tennis community of Hawick are so thrilled with their new facility.
