Be An Artist: George Seurat
I introduced my students to the French painter George Seurat and explained to them that he was famous for using dots - many tiny dots in his paintings - a technique that is known as Pointillism. His most famous painting, La Grande Jatte, took 3 years to paint and was very large ( 7 feet high by 10 feet wide). I showed them a book that had images of the painting so they could see all the tiny dots. Up close the dots looked separated, but from far away they become a cohesive whole. Then the children chose an image to fill-in with tiny dots and dashes (a cupcake, dog, hearts, a flower). I told them to imagine how George Seurat must have felt painting his enormous painting La Grande Jatte. I asked them if it was easy or hard to fill-in their image with dots? Did their hand hurt? Their answer was "yes" - it was much harder than they thought it would be. Some students used only one color throughout big areas, while others blended several to give their image more dimension. Dots that were small and perfect compared to dots that were wide and imperfect created different feelings as you viewed the artwork. I believe giving students the opportunity to learn by doing is an excellent way for them to better understand different artists and their techniques. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Abstract:
Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by members of the genus Aspergillus, most notably A. flavus. Non-aflatoxigenic strains of A. flavus are commonly used for biocontrol of the aflatoxigenic strains to reduce aflatoxins in corn, cotton, peanuts and tree nuts. However, genomic differences between aflatoxigenic strains and non-aflatoxigenic strains have not been reported in detail, though such differences may further elucidate the evolutionary histories of certain biocontrol strains and help guide development of other useful strains. We recently reported the genome and transcriptome sequencing of A. flavus WRRL 1519, a strain isolated from almond that does not produce aflatoxins or cyclopiazonic acid due to deletions in the biosynthetic gene clusters. Continued bioinformatics analyses focused on comparing strain WRRL 1519 to the aflatoxigenic strain NRRL 3357. The genome assembly of strain WRRL 1519 was improved by anchoring 84 of the 127 scaffolds to the putative nuclear chromosomes of strain NRRL 3357. The five largest areas of extrachromosomal mismatches observed between WRRL 1519 and NRRL 3357 were not similar to any of the mismatches that were observed with pairwise comparisons of NRRL 3357 to other non-aflatoxigenic strains NRRL 21882, NRRL 30797 or NRRL 18543. Comparisons of predicted secondary metabolite gene clusters uncovered two other biosynthetic gene clusters in which strain WRRL 1519 had large deletions compared to the homologous clusters in NRRL 3357. Additionally, there was a marked overrepresentation of repetitive sequences in WRRL 1519 compared to other inspected A. flavus strains. This is the first report of detection of a large number of putative retrotransposons in any A. flavus strain, initially suggesting that retrotransposons may contribute to the natural occurrence of genetic variation and biocontrol strains. However, the transposons may not be significantly associated with the chromosomal differences. Future experimentation and continued bioinformatics analyses will potentially illuminate causes of the differences and may reveal whether transposon activity in A. flavus can lead to random natural occurrences of non-aflatoxigenic strains.

-- Spain Downgraded to BBB as Fitch Predicts Slump Through 2013
Fitch Ratings cut Spain ’s long-term
credit rating to BBB and left it two notches from junk, citing
the cost of recapitalizing the country’s banking industry and a
lengthening recession. Spain, which saw its rating lowered from A, may need as
much as 100 billion euros ($126 billion) to bolster its banking
system, compared with an earlier estimate of about 30 billion
euros, Fitch said today in London . The Spanish economy is set to
remain in recession through 2013, the ratings company added,
having previously forecast a recovery for next year. “The much reduced financing flexibility of the Spanish
government is constraining its ability to intervene decisively
in the restructuring of the banking sector and has increased the
likelihood of external financial support,” Fitch said in a
statement. “Spain’s high level of foreign indebtedness has
rendered it especially vulnerable to contagion from the ongoing
crisis in Greece.” The government managed to auction 10-year debt today amid
speculation that European officials will act to boost growth in
the single currency area and ease the pressure on peripheral
nations. Budget Minister Cristobal Montoro said June 5 that
Spain was shut out of capital markets . “The positive moves we have had this week have been on a
strange logic that things have got so bad that the authorities
need to do something about it,” said Elisabeth Afseth , an
analyst at Investec Bank Plc in London. The cut isn’t really a
surprise “given where the spreads have been, Spain’s potential
difficulties and the fact they may have to seek support.” Three Levels Fitch’s reduction by three levels now leaves its assessment
of Europe’s fourth-biggest economy on a par with Thailand and
Mexico. Standard & Poor’s has a BBB+ rating on Spain, while
Moody’s Investors Service grades it A3. Fitch cut the country
from AAA in May 2010. “It was inevitable,” said David Keeble , head of fixed-
income strategy at Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank
in New York. “What really matters is the political will to sort
things out. Quite clearly Spain is going to need external
help.” To contact the reporter on this story:

Menomonie, Wisconsin History/schroeja
The Tainter family was vital to the growth of the town of Menomonie including Captain Andrew Tainter, Mabel Tainter, and the Mabel Tainter Theater that was named after her. Andrew Tainter (Jul. 6, 1823-Oct. 18, 1899) was one of the co-owners of the Knapp Stout & Co Company that produced lumber in the city of Menomonie, Wisconsin. Andrew married and had his daughter, Mabel Tainter (Dec. 6, 1866-Jun. 10, 1886) who died tragically at the age of 19. In the wake of her death Andrew built and dedicated to her what was and still is the crown jewel of Menomonie in the Mabel Tainter Theater.
Early Life
Andrew was born as the first of fourteen kids on July 6th, 1823 in Salina, New York where he lived until he was nine years old. Andrew only attended school for one year in Salina before his family moved to Prairie du Chien, Wi in 1828 to live with Ezekiel Tainter who was working there. Andrew Tainter attended just two more years of school in Prairie du Chien and all the while kept up working with his father at Fort Crawford. Andrew gained knowledge of all kinds of different tasks while working with his father, he did everything from cutting hay for horses to providing wood, and even running a makeshift tavern for the fort.
Partnership
Andrew moved out of Fort Crawford and over the next few years gained more knowledge by working an array of other jobs until in 1848 he opened up his own small logging mill. Andrew took on a contract for Knapp, Wilson and Co. who were building a dam at their mill on the Red Cedar and was able to deliver three times as many logs as was called for by the company. They were unable to pay back the large debt they owed to him and were forced to bring him in on their partnership as payment. In 1850, with his new ownership in the growing Co. he built a small house in Menomonie and married an Ojibwa woman named Mary Poskin whom he would have five children with. Tainter and his company built a new mill and slowly began to grow.
Duties
Andrew became the head of all logging operations for the company, supplying logs to the mill, taking the manufactured ones down to the Mississippi river and returning with supplies. It was difficult work that Andrew enjoyed. It has been said that he really earned the respect of the men he worked for by still doing back breaking work when he easily could have sat back and watched others do it. Later on when the company began to take off he supervised all of the logging camps along the rivers. Eventually the company prospered enough to even buy a steamboat which they named, “Chippewa Falls.” Andrew Tainter became Captain Andrew Tainter as he began piloting the steamboat in addition to performing his other duties.
Marriage
Around this time, due to difference in culture and opinions as to where they should live Andrew and Mary Poskin ended their marriage after nine years. Andrew took custody of the kids, and kept them in Menomonie. In 1859 Tainter built a large new house in the now flourishing city. Two years later he got married again to Bertha Lucas and had another five kids, one of those being Mabel Tainter and another being Louis Tainter who would eventually take over his father’s duties to the company.
Impact
By the 1870’s the company’s name had changed to the Knapp Stout & Co. Company and they were booming. Andrew and the rest of the owners had become very wealthy and due to their living in Menomonie, the area was thriving too. Menomonie was the headquarters for the whole company and at the height of their production the company employed over 2000 people in Menomonie alone. The city’s economy boomed as it was the major trading hub of the operation, and many rich people moved to and helped develop the town because of that. Later in life all of the owners donated to the community and Andrew Tainter gave Menomonie the famous Mabel Tainter theater. Without Andrew’s skillset as part owner in the company we don’t know if it would have taken off like it did. With the bounty of white pine trees that Menomonie had there’s no doubt another logging team would have moved in if Tainter’s didn’t, but who knows if they would have made Menomonie their main hub, and whether or not they would have helped develop and give back to the city. By the end of the 19th century Andrew owned 20 businesses and 40 buildings in Menomonie. It is clear the city would not be the same today without him and his influence.
Life
Mabel Tainter was born on July 10th, 1886 in Menomonie, Wi to Andrew Tainter and his wife Bertha Lucas. Not much is known about Mabel because she didn’t live a very long or extraordinary life like her father. What is known is that she lived in Menomonie for the duration of her life and that she had a passion for the arts and theater. Mabel lived a well off life, but she never actually had a full portrait made of her, instead she has one of her face on her sister’s body.
Death
There is a lot of controversy that surrounds the death of Mabel. Records show her passing as the result of a quick onset of “cancer of the side” or appendicitis. However, UW-Stout writers: Hallgrimson, Fendt, and Rosin, have published the popular rumor that Mabel was in love with a lumberjack in her father’s company, but because of social status’ they were unable to marry. The young, unwed Mabel became pregnant and for fear of being socially ostracized, her parents made her have an abortion that directly contributed to her death. Perhaps out of guilt her parents dedicated a memorial theater to their daughter’s memory. So, Mabel Tainter did have a big impact on Menomonie, but it is sad to say that impact was made because of her tragic death. If Mabel had not died at such a young age then maybe her parents never would have built and spared no expense on the magnificent theater that has meant so much to the city.
Background
The Mabel Tainter Theater was constructed in 1889 and sits on Main Street East to this day. It is well documented that the theater is a memorial to the Tainter’s daughter, Mabel who died in 1886 at the age of nineteen. Upon seeing the theater for the first time, a Milwaukee Sentinel journalist remarked that it was, “one of the finest and most imposing buildings in the state.“ The building was built with intentions to be used as a public library, lecture hall, performance venue and the main meeting place for the Unitarian Church, who still uses it today.
Features
The building did and still does catch your eye with it’s Romanesque style, large size, and castle-like look to it. The outside of the building is made with sandstone from a quarry just down the Red Cedar River and it has incredible carvings on it that take up the entire building, including the words “Mabel Tainter Memorial” inscribed just above the door. The Tainters went all out in building the theater, paying an estimated $125,000 to complete the whole thing. The inside of the building contains everything you could imagine with marble floors, four fireplaces, and a pipe organ with 1597 pipes that at the time cost about $5000. The building also has a huge and very expensive 251 seat theater that hosted local theater acts and attracted performers from all over the country.
Impact
The publicity and excitement that Menomonie would have received back when the theater was in it’s prime and having big shows would have been a fun thing to be a part of. The theater gave the public access to shows and books that they had never had before and they got to experience it in grand style. Before his death in 1899 Andrew Tainter paid for full operation of the theater and after passing away he left $65,000 to assist in running the building. Today the building has undergone a very successful renovation project and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It still acts as a performing arts/cultural center, museum, and all around icon of Menomonie. | WIKI |

How Hot is Too Hot For a Laptop
Introduction
There are a number of reasons why a laptop might run hot. However, these are often not recognizable at first glance. It is therefore important to first find out exactly where the causes for the high temperature development are and we will discuss them further in this article.
A question that keeps coming to mind is, how hot is too hot for a laptop? The optimal temperature range for a CPU is under 130 F, which in Celsius is around 55 C. This does vary, depending on the situation. If a machine is out in the open in direct sunlight, then you need to be a lot more careful than if you were sitting in an airconditioned room inside your house. I would say from experience that anything below 60 C (~ 140 F) is going to be okay under normal circumstances but it is best to keep the temperature below 55 C (130 F).
However, there are situations when you have a heavier load on your computer and during that time it is normal for your laptop to exceed the 130 F mark. Temperatures up to 70 C ( 160 F) are okay under full load. Although a constant hot temperature can damage your computer in the long term.
Similarly, the GPU should not exceed 110 F (45 C) during normal operation and 175 F (80 C) under heavy load. You should be extremely careful if you have a gaming machine. Keeping gaming laptops cool is much harder since they operate at a much higher load.
All sorts of electronic devices have their temperature highs and lows. Extreme temperature can result in frozen LCD screens or your laptop may end up malfunctioning and shutting down. Heat can damage different components of a laptop, if your machine does get overheated it is best to turn it off and leave it be for a while; until it returns back to room temperature.
Modern computers also have temperature sensors installed. This helps exclude guess work from the equation. With a good temperature monitoring tool, you will get an instant notification when your machine is overheated. Remember that excessive heat can directly impact the life span of your machine. Heat is a by-product of power consumption, there is no escaping it! But you can always take measures to keep this under control.
how hot should a laptop get
How Do Laptops Heat Up?
The best way of securing your machine is to avoid having your laptop in situations where it can suffer from temperature extremes. Prevention is key! So if you educate yourself on that subject, you can avoid situations where your machine may get overheated. But how exactly does a laptop heat up? Let us go through a few different causes below.
Compact Design
In a laptop, all components (CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD etc.) are installed in a very small space and are usually only cooled by a single fan inside the case. During operation, the components work at high output and generate heat that is difficult to dissipate from the restricted system. Due to poor heat dissipation, laptops get overheated quite easily.
High Computing Power
High computing power has a major influence on overheating in compact and powerful laptops. The more programs running on the system, the more power is required. This leads to increased computing power, which in turn increases the temperatures inside the notebook. The use of computationally intensive applications, such as video editing software or high-tech PC games, also leads to increased power and heat generation.
Dust and dirt
Dust and dirt inside the laptop case can negatively affect the already low cooling flow. The tiny particles can settle inside the housing on components of the ventilation system and have a negative impact on them. Over time, dust and dirt often clog the ventilation slots on the housing. As a result, the air circulation and cooling components no longer work properly and the laptop becomes overheated.
Improper Surface
Using a laptop on the wrong surface can lead to unnecessary heat generation. The reason for this is the location of the ventilation slots, which are not only located on the side of the laptop case, but also below. The notebooks small support feet usually ensure that air can circulate in the small cavity between the base and the housing. However, if the ventilation slots are blocked by an uneven surface, such as a bedspread or a sofa cushion, the cooling of the laptop will no longer function properly. This also applies when the laptop is used on the lap.
External influences
Even external influences can affect the temperature development in laptops. The best example of this is the use of the notebook in the summer outside in the garden in the blazing sun. Due to high outside temperature and direct sunlight, the device heats up faster and the laptop runs hot. This can also happen if the sun shines directly on the notebook through the window in summer.
Final Words
Often a lot more is expected of a notebook than a stationary PC. It is used on the beach, left in a hot car and usually hardly cleaned, at least from the inside. As for transportation, do not leave your notebook inside your car when it is parked in the sun. The driver’s compartment heats up much more than the trunk. However, it is even better not to leave the device in a car that is in the sun at all. It is better to take the computer with you.
Always make sure that your laptop fan is not being suppressed. For example, if you are working on your laptop on the bed on a hot day, make sure to either have the AC on or have an additional fan under your computer. Not doing so will result in poor performance and possible over heating of your machine.
Prevention is everything! Never leave your laptop out in the heat. Finally, if your machine does get over heated, do not try to force the temperature down by putting it in the fridge or using a cooling pad. Just let it rest for a while and you should be good to go. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Installing ColdFusion MX 6.1 on OS X
I have seen a few people experience difficulties installing ColdFusion MX 6.1 on OS X. Not to worry — it works fine. You just have to make a few adjustments.
The problem people seem to be running into is with the graphical installer. There seems to be an issue with the graphical installer and Sun’s 1.4.1 JVM for OS X. There are two ways to fix this:
1. Run the installer in console mode like this:
% java -jar ./coldfusion-61-other.jar -i console
(Don’t actually type the “%” — that is meant to represent your command prompt.)
This is not as scary as it might sound. The console installer is just as user friendly as the graphical version, except for the fact that you have to type paths in rather than navigate to them.
2. Run the graphical installer with Java 1.3.1 rather than 1.4.1. This is perfectly safe and doable on most configurations since the OS X software updater does not remove the old version of Java when installing the new version (rather, it installs the new JVM right along side the old one and simply changes some symbolic links).
Here is the command for running the graphical installer with Java 1.3.1:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Home/bin/java -jar ./coldfusion-61-other.jar -i gui
The command above may have broken onto two lines in your browser — make sure you run it as a single line. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

This video was recorded on Oct. 7, 2019.
Jason Moser: Let's jump into to the big news from last week. This was news that played out on a number of different companies out there. On Tuesday last week, Charles Schwab announced that it was eliminating commissions on stock trading altogether. Man, did that set off a chain of events. And by a chain of events, I mean there was a lot of selling of a lot of these big-name brokerages that we know. Just looking at some of the numbers from some of the bigger players in the space, last week, TD Ameritrade shares were down 28%. Schwab shares were down 15%. E*Trade was down 17%. Interactive Brokers was down 11.5%, all on this news. Essentially, these brokerages have now gotten to the finish line of this race to zero. We're not going to be able to really go back to charging for commissions, I don't think. It affects some businesses a bit more than others. Talk a little bit about what you thought about this news, and what companies you feel like this affects the most.
Matt Frankel: For one thing, this is an obvious win for investors. Commissions aren't usually a big part of my investment strategy. Having said that, this makes it practical to buy, say, one or two shares of stock at a time. Before, if you had just a couple of hundred bucks of cash sitting in your account, it wasn't really practical to buy one share of Apple. Now, investors can do that. It helps you maximize your investment dollars.
I think the winners of this are, surprisingly, going to be the companies that were charging the most. Let me tell you why I think that. First of all, in full disclosure, I use TD Ameritrade as my broker.
Moser: As do I.
Frankel: The product's fantastic.
Moser: It is. I agree.
Frankel: Excellent access to research. Their educational tools are the best that I've seen. And I've used E*Trade and Merrill Edge in the past, so I have some basis for comparison. Their product is hands-down the best. But it seems counterintuitive that they were charging the most, and I think they're going to be the biggest winner. So let me tell you why.
Two big reasons. One, about 25% of their revenue previously came from commissions. That's pretty much going away. It's important to note that it's not going to zero. They're not eliminating all commissions. For example, an options trade would still have somewhat of a commission. It's not going to go to zero. Let's say, just for argument's sake, they lose 20% of their revenue. They've already dropped 28%. So that's more than priced into the stock at this point. The more important point is, just to name three competitors, you have Robinhood, which has been free; Schwab, which had been charging $4.95 previous to this move; and TD Ameritrade, which was charging $6.95 previous to this move. And it made sense. Robinhood was a no-frills platform, but it was free. It catered to that crowd. Schwab had a little bit more features. A nicer platform, more research available, stuff like that. And it was mid-priced. TD Ameritrade was a premium product that you paid for. Now, you can get a premium product from a TD Ameritrade or an E*Trade without having to pay that premium. So, I see a lot of people jumping ship from companies like Robinhood to bring their assets over to TD Ameritrade. They make money off interest income. They earn some interest on people's idle cash balances, they make some money off that. They get some interchange fees from the market makers when people place orders. They have a lot of other ways to make money off of customers' assets. So, I see this being a net win for TD Ameritrade and E*Trade. I think they're going to end up getting a nice trickle-down effect from the previously discounted brokerages, because now there's no such thing as a discount brokerage. They're all zero. All the big ones, anyway. You're going to see them get a nice little stream of assets from people who were just with companies like Robinhood because they were free. If you went to a Honda dealership and they were selling Hondas and Acuras for the same price, which one are you going to buy?
Moser: That's a good point. It makes sense to me. I remember the days when commissions were $50. I remember calling my Edward Jones broker on the phone when I was younger, placing a trade and paying a $50 commission. That'll make you think. The point is, the trend has always been going toward zero. This is not something where they're just ripping the Band-Aid off, so to speak, and going from $50 to zero. I mean, it's been a trend that's been established over a long period of time. I guess that's why I was a bit surprised to see such a reaction in the markets. With these particular names specifically, it felt like an overreaction. I feel like these are businesses that are very well-rounded, have a lot of different ways to win, vs. something like a Robinhood, as you were talking about before. Robinhood, that's a one trick pony. That was their thing, was zero commissions. They don't have much of a business built around that. Just because the private valuation had them at somewhere around $8 billion, we know how private valuations work out. We've watched this WeWork drama play out, obviously. And it's not the only one. I would imagine the valuation on Robinhood behind closed doors has taken quite a haircut already. I tend to agree with you. It's just a matter of making sure that they figure out other ways to find that growth.
Frankel: Yeah. I was going to say, the market should be glad that Robinhood hasn't gone public yet. You think the IPO market's had a bad year so far already? If they'd gone public before this happened...
Moser: They would not be so forgiving, I don't think.
Frankel: Right. I put out a tweet about this shortly after the news came out about, what's the value case for Robinhood. And not one person responded with something like, "Oh, I'm going to stick with Robinhood because... " Most people were like, "Now I'm going to jump into E*Trade because I can afford to." They're getting these newer investors who are who have $50, $100 at a time, who, previously it was only practical to invest through a company like Robinhood. They're going to get this nice trickle effect from that. There are more ways these can grow. The lost commission revenue in all cases has been more than priced into these stocks. I think this is a big win for investors. And at the newer valuation, it's a big win for the companies as investments.
Moser: Big win for investors. Of course, we're not saying, "Hey, because it's free, get out there and trade more." We're not saying big win from that perspective. Don't up your trading volume. That's obviously not the way we invest here. But you are getting your trades for free now, which is nice. Just, obviously, don't let this encourage more short-term trading behavior. We've seen how that works out. It typically is not good. It's certainly not in line with the way we invest. Like you, Matt, I don't make a lot of trades. I don't really consider commissions when it comes to the trades or the purchases or sales that I'm making because I make so few, and typically I try to be a net buyer of stocks anyway. When you look at it from that context, it's not going to kill either one of our bottom lines. It's not going to make either one of our bottom lines all that more robust. But I do feel like, when you look at these four businesses that I talked about earlier there -- TD Ameritrade, Schwab, E*Trade, and Interactive Brokers -- you can almost, dare I say, take a basket approach and take advantage of the market's short-term pessimism here. These are four very proven businesses with models that seem to work. It did strike me as a bit of an overreaction. I guess time will tell. But certainly, it's a new day for investors. I think that's a good thing.
Frankel: Definitely. Like I said, I think it's a big win for investors. In terms of being a stock investor and being an investor in these businesses, if you're looking for something to watch -- it's not my One to Watch this week, but I'll go ahead and add companies like TD Ameritrade and E*Trade to my watch list on the back of this news.

KINETICS OF FIR WOOD OXIDATION BY OXYGEN IN AQUEOUS ALKALINE MEDIA

Аннотация
Kinetics of fir wood oxidation (Abies sibirica) in aqueous alkaline media were studied by measuring oxygen consumption rates. Oxidation of extracted wood conforms to the kinetics of non-branching chain mechanism. The same mechanism governs the initial stage of non-extracted wood oxidation, but a transition to degenerate branching mode soon occurs. This transition is probably caused by softwood's low hemicelluloses content and high content of propyl guaiacol lignin units that are prone to condensation involving phenolic hydroxyls. This leads to quick depletion of phenolic and uronic carboxylic groups; chain initiation by oxidizing the respective anions becomes impossible, and degenerate branching takes the lead. It is assumed that inert hydrophobic fir extractives physically shield hydroperoxides responsible for degenerate branching from alkali. This prevents alkali from causing heterolytic hydroperoxide cleavage that does result in chain branching. It is assumed that the catalyst accelerates the reaction of homolytic cleavage of the aforementioned hydroperoxides

There are multiple ways for a curious person to discover his or her blood type. If you need to know your blood type for medical reasons, get a visa to a foreign country or just learn what your blood type says about you, then try one of the following methods.
Edit Steps
1. 1
Ask your primary healthcare physician. If your physician already has your blood type on file, then you just need to ask. However, they will only have your record on file if you've already had your blood drawn and/or tested.
2. 2
Donate blood. When you go in, ask the staff if they can tell you your blood type when you're done. However, they typically won't be able to tell you right away, because of the processing of the unit of blood (or the specific component -- red blood cells, plasma, platelets or something similar).
3. 3
Purchase a blood type testing kit. If you or someone you know happens to work in a medical setting, see if you can get your hands on one of these tests for free.
• Dispense one drop of your blood to each field on the test card. Use a sterilized needle. The fields contain antibodies, which will provoke a reaction with antigens on your red blood cells.
• Use a new toothpick for each field to mix the blood with the impregnation, creating an about dime-sized smear.
• If you have blood type A, clumping will appear in following fields: anti-A
• If you have blood type B, clumping will appear in the field: anti-B
• If you have blood type AB, clumping will appear in fields anti-A, anti-B
• If you have blood type O, no clumping will appear.
4. 4
Consult the blood service in your country of residence.
• UK -The National Blood service has an online blood type calculator
• Canada - Log onto Canada's official blood website. Find out where the next "What's Your Type?" event is taking place. These are regular promotional events hosted in the community by Canadian Blood Services. Your results are instant and you will find out how common or rare your blood type is, who you can receive from, and who you can donate to. You will learn both your ABO blood group, as well as your positive or negative Rhesus factor.
5. 5
Find a blood type calculator. There are blood type calculators that can be found on several websites and will help you determine this.
6. 6
Find out the blood type of your parents. This will play a major factor in determining your own blood type. The general rules of inheritance are:
• O parent x O parent = O child
• O parent x A parent = A or O child
• O parent x B parent = B or O child
• O parent x AB parent = A or B child
• A parent x A parent = A or O child
• A parent x B parent = A, B, AB or O child
• A parent x AB parent = A, B or AB child
• B parent x B parent = B or O child
• B parent x AB parent = A, B or AB child
• AB parent x AB parent = A, B or AB child
Edit Video
About three minutes into this video, there's a demonstration of using a home blood type testing kit.
Edit Tips
• In addition to the blood types, one should also have their Rh or Rhesus factor tested. If you have your blood typed by the Red Cross or any other professional organization, they'll tell you the Rh factor. This is sometimes called D. You are either D+ or D-. For example, if clumping was noticed in the A field, and in the D field, then that person is A+ blood type.

Neurofibromatosis
What is neurofibromatosis (NF1)?
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (also known as NF1 or von Recklinghausen disease) is a genetic condition. It causes non-cancerous growths (tumors) to develop on any nerve ending throughout the body. NF1 is hereditary and runs in families. Symptoms usually appear in childhood.
The severity of neurofibromatosis can range from having very few signs or medical concerns to having many signs with significant long-term medical issues.
What's the difference between NF1 and NF2?
NF1 is a distinct condition from neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), with different signs and symptoms. Although both conditions have similar names, an individual with NF1 is not at risk of developing NF2.
What causes neurofibromatosis?
NF1 is caused by a change (mutation) in the NF1 gene on chromosome 17. Each person has two copies of this gene, with one copy inherited from each parent. Normally, the gene prevents too much growth in cells for certain body parts. If one copy of this gene is altered due to a random error or mutation, it cannot function correctly. This ultimately leads to signs of NF1.
Neurofibromatosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning each child of an affected individual has a 50% chance to develop NF1.
Who gets neurofibromatosis?
NF1 is common, occurring in about 1 in 3,000 births. It affects males, females and all ethnic backgrounds equally. However, no two patients with the same NF1 gene mutation are necessarily affected in an identical manner. Even two individuals in the same family can be affected to different degrees, for reasons that doctors don't yet understand.
In approximately half of patients with NF1, the genetic mutation is inherited from a parent who also has symptoms, although they may be mild and undiagnosed. If a parent is affected, each of his or her children has a 50% (or 1 in 2) chance to inherit the gene mutation and develop NF1. All individuals with an NF1 gene mutation will develop signs of NF1, although we cannot predict which signs, when they might develop or the severity.
In the other half of patients with NF1, the gene change occurred sporadically, meaning no other relatives have the condition. There is a small chance of germline mosaicism, meaning the genetic change happened only in the parent's egg or sperm cells, and the parent does not actually have signs of NF1.
What are the signs and symptoms of neurofibromatosis (NF1)?
Freckles and color changes to patches of skin
The most common initial symptoms of neurofibromatosis (a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous growths) are seen on the skin. The earliest signs of NF1 may be café au lait macules and freckling under the arms, in the folds of skin, or in the groin. Café au lait macules (French for "coffee with milk") are patches of skin that are light brown and may be present at birth. More tend to develop over time, but these marks do not cause problems themselves.
Small growths on the skin
Small growths (called neurofibromas) may occur on the surface of the skin or just beneath the skin. These may appear at any time during life and do not typically cause problems because they tend to remain small. Plexiform neurofibromas are a different type of growth that can occur anywhere under the skin or in any part of the body. These growths may be larger and may become cancerous in a small percentage of people.
Eye and bone changes
Clumps of pigment may form in the iris of the eye, but do not affect vision. Sometimes patients with NF1 develop an optic glioma, a growth on the optic nerve, which may affect vision. Abnormal bone development may affect some individuals.
Other common features
Other features may occur in an individual with NF1 but are not used to make a diagnosis. They include: large head size, scoliosis, seizures, learning difficulties, headaches, short stature and high blood pressure. This list does not include all features of NF1, only the most common features.
What tests are used to diagnose neurofibromatosis (NF1)?
Many children are diagnosed with NF1 based on the presence of certain physical features. Criteria include the presence of at least six café-au-lait macules, freckling, ocular signs, presence of neurofibromas and plexiform neurofibromas, bone changes or a diagnosis of NF1 in a relative. Individuals must have two or more of these characteristics to be diagnosed.
An individual with NF1 is not always born with all the features of NF1. Many features develop over time. A genetic test for NF1 is also available when the diagnosis cannot be made based on a clinical exam. During a genetic test, a blood sample is taken and a geneticist looks at DNA from the sample to determine if there is a change within one copy of the NF1 gene that prevents it from functioning properly.
Why choose Children's Hospital Colorado for neurofibromatosis testing?
Our providers in our Neuroscience Institute have years of experience in diagnosing NF1. Because there are other medical conditions with similar features to NF1, we're also very familiar with the signs of these alternative conditions and testing to distinguish between them.
Our laboratory staff are experts at caring for kids during blood draws. We use special topical creams to minimize the discomfort that may be experienced with a blood draw.
How soon can we expect testing results?
The genetic test for NF1 can take up to 8 weeks to receive results. This is the standard turnaround time for many genetic tests.
A positive test result means an individual has a gene mutation in the NF1 gene and will develop signs of NF1, although we cannot determine what signs will develop or when. About 5% of individuals with NF1 have a negative genetic test result, meaning we have not identified a gene change in the NF1 gene but they may later still develop signs of NF1. We follow and treat these patients as though they have NF1 until they are old enough that we feel more confident that they will not develop the condition.
How do providers at Children's Colorado make a diagnosis?
The genetic blood test is routinely offered when NF1 cannot easily be diagnosed from a physical exam. The blood test is also offered to confirm a clinical diagnosis, for family planning and reproductive purposes, or to test other relatives who may be at risk of developing NF1.
How is neurofibromatosis (NF1) treated?
There is no cure for neurofibromatosis because doctors and researchers cannot correct the underlying genetic cause. However, at Children's Colorado, we follow and manage the care of our patients with NF1so that we can quickly address and treat any medical concerns that develop.
Many individuals have an uncomplicated course of NF1 and do not require much additional medical care. Our program follows the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines with annual blood pressure checks, monitoring of growth and development, monitoring the spine for scoliosis and annual ophthalmology evaluations in our Eye Clinic. Individuals diagnosed with NF1 and those suspected of having NF1 are seen annually by our team.
Diagnosis and follow-up treatment
The Neurocutaneous Clinic within Clinical Genetics is the diagnostic clinic for NF1. Follow up in our Neurology or Genetics Clinics includes monitoring for potential health and developmental concerns. If a concern is identified, we have specialists in the Eye Clinic, Neuro-Oncology, Orthopedics, Rehabilitation, Neurology and Neuropsychology Departments among others, who can help to manage and treat concerns.
Why choose Children's Colorado for your child's neurofibromatosis treatment?
Physicians in our Program have several decades of combined experience in diagnosing NF1. We offer genetic testing in a conservative and responsible manner with thorough counseling. Every year, we treat several hundred children with NF1, seeing patients from Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota.
For diagnosed patients with extensive medical involvement, Children's Colorado has a NF multidisciplinary clinic and a NF "mini" multidisciplinary clinic that both use a team-approach for management of NF1. In addition, our Program is a member of the Children's Tumor Foundation and our physicians participate in annual education clinics about NF1.

Braun Music Center
Braun Music Center, known colloquially as Braun, is a music education building at Stanford University in California. Opening its doors in 1984, Braun serves as both the epicenter for music at Stanford, as well as a link between Stanford's main residential and activities centers. As the main building for the Department of Music, Braun is the venue for the department's concerts and recitals and offers rehearsal studios and practice facilities as well as classrooms and offices.
History
The largest donor for the construction of the hall was the Carl F. Braun Trust under the trusteeship of Carl's son, John Gilbert Braun. The Carl Braun Trust donated a substantial portion of the more than $6.3 the million needed for the project. John G. Braun was a financier educated at UC Berkeley and a lifetime trustee of Caltech. However, John donated the funds for Stanford's music center in honor of his late father, Carl Braun, who earned a degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford in 1907.
The Stanford Music Department, previously housed in the Knoll, had been fighting a new building since their inception in 1947. Chairman of the department Albert Cohen put it bluntly, "our facilities have been inadequate for awhile... there are not enough classrooms in the Knoll, and that the ones that do exist do not have acoustically treated walls." The Knoll was in such poor shape structurally at the time that the music library had nearly caved in 1979. Despite moving facilities, the Music Department retained control of the Knoll (which received desperately needed renovations from 2004 to 2005) and today houses the Stanford Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA).
The Board of Trustees authorized the project in December of 1979 and chose the architectural firm Marquis Associates of San Francisco to design the center a few months later in February of 1980. Excavation at the site began in 1981 and was originally slated to be completed and open for students and faculty for the Fall term of 1983. The project was delayed extensively due to heavy rain and wind damage, flooding, and a United Stanford Workers' strike. Faculty and staff of the Music Department moved into the almost completed center January of 1984, although construction continued around them.
The official opening of the Center was postponed briefly due to John Braun's health troubles.
Architecture
The long, stucco-faced, 2-story building occupies a critical place on Stanford's campus, bisecting "The Row" (a residential portion of campus) and White Plaza. The building's main architectural feature is its long open-air arcade that the street Lausen Mall passes through, allowing students to easily traverse between the popular residential and social hubs on the University. The Braun Center preserves traditional Stanford architectural styles, boasting bright glass arches and red-tiled columns.
Braun's east wing houses Campbell Recital Hall, an intimate performance venue. The west wing houses the Stanford Music Library which boasts antiquarian holdings of original scores manuscripts along with the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound. The building also includes practice rooms and offices for music department faculty.
Braun is adjacent to Dinkelspiel Auditorium, one of Stanford's primary performance venues. | WIKI |

the only diference is in Line 4
gamebotTest = gamebot & gamebotTest = "OFF"
REGARDS
I was expecting both programs to yield same results. Thus, correct me pls

Answers:
In order to access the variable in the topmost scope, you need to add a global gamebot to the top of the function (def).
Your corrected code would then be:
gamebot = "OFF"
def gamebot_status():
global gamebot
if gamebot == "OFF":
gamebotTest = "OFF"
print("Gamebot is right now ", gamebotTest, "nTurning On gamebot in... n1 n2 n3 nn", sep='')

Does drinking coffee help you lose weight?
0 50
Everyone’s favorite beverage and tool for weight loss is bitter coffee. About 80% of people throughout the world drink coffee every day, yet few are aware of its many health benefits, including helping people lose weight. Continue reading to discover additional advantages of coffee’s use in weight loss.
A cup of coffee was the only beverage that could keep you awake the night before a test. Coffee, which originated in Africa and is now consumed nationwide, provides a number of health benefits for people.
Statistics show that coffee is grown in more than 70 nations, and the world’s population drinks 160 million bags of coffee annually on average.(1) Depending on the product’s aroma and flavor, coffee beans are roasted in a variety of ways that are rated to varying degrees.
Due to its low calorie content, coffee can help people lose weight. A cup of coffee can help you manage your weight if you drink it frequently, according to a study. A cup of coffee about 30 minutes prior to your meal will increase your sweating and aid in fat loss.
Black and green coffee should be consumed in order to lose belly fat. Magnesium, potassium, niacin, and antioxidants are elements found in coffee that support healthy digestion.
The benefits of bitter coffee for reducing weight
1. Using coffee to lose weight; the antioxidant properties of chlorogenic acid
• Coffee contains specific substances, such as chlorogenic acid, that are useful for weight loss.
• The chlorogenic acid in coffee lowers the body’s ability to produce glucose when you consume it after a meal. The growth of new fat cells also declines concurrently.
• Only when a person consumes bitter coffee, which is high in caffeine and chlorogenic acid, does this process take place.
• Coffee will taste better if you add milk or cream, but it won’t help you lose weight.
2. Coffee reduces appetite and helps people lose weight.
• Coffee’s caffeine boosts metabolism and gives you more energy. Thus, hunger is reduced. One of the beverages with no calories is a cup of bitter coffee, which has 5.4 calories.(2)
3. The impact of coffee on calorie intake when trying to lose weight
• Drinking bitter coffee significantly reduces your daily calorie intake. Due to the fact that bitter coffee stimulates metabolic activity, it also boosts activity and calorie burning. As a result, drinking coffee regularly helps you burn more calories.
• The most effective technique to burn calories is to drink coffee before working out.
4. How coffee affects weight loss: lower body water content
• Some people put on weight as a result of having too much body fat or water. Due to frequent urination, drinking coffee causes the body’s water content to decrease. Because it contains a lot of caffeine, that is the cause.
• The extra weight that develops as a result of the body’s excess water content can be removed using this technique without experiencing any negative side effects.
5. Coffee causes weight loss; weight loss with coffee
• Bitter coffee has a brief weight-loss effect because it lessens unnecessary bodily water retention and urine fluid retention.
• Only until the body’s fat content drops does weight loss become permanent. Bitter coffee assists in long-term weight loss by gradually increasing calorie burn.
Caffeine and weight loss warning
• Anything that is consumed in excess has negative effects. Even though drinking bitter coffee can be beneficial, too much of it can make you retain water. Heart issues are one of the negative impacts of coffee retention in the body.
• Therefore, two cups of coffee each day are advised.
What happens when you consume coffee on an empty stomach?
Does consuming coffee during a fast have any consequences? Is it acceptable to have coffee in the morning without fasting? The benefits and drawbacks of consuming coffee empty-handed will be discussed.
advantages of consuming coffee first thing in the morning
• Increased alertness
• Reduce muscle pain.
• Increased metabolism
• Lose weight fast with coffee.
disadvantages of consuming coffee on an empty stomach
• More acid secretion in the stomach due to the presence of clogenic
• blood pressure
• Indigestion, bloating, and stomach ulcers
• diuretic
• Decreased appetite for breakfast
• Anger, aggression, and depression
• Osteoporosis due to calcium excretion
• Body resistance to insulin
• Intensification of stress
Certain coffees can help people lose weight.
Nowadays, individuals eat more fast food and snacks, which has led to an increase in obesity. It should go without saying that drinking coffee does not help you lose weight on its own. Instead, you should combine coffee with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
1. Espresso coffee
Espresso coffee is one of the bitterest types of coffee and is very black. Espresso coffee is a great pre-workout beverage because it includes caffeine, which activates the central nervous system, enhances exercise performance, and burns calories.
Because drinking espresso coffee also helps people lose weight, try slimming coffee. Espresso contains caffeine, which promotes calorie burning by causing heat.
2. Green coffee
Green coffee is unroasted coffee that has a green tint. Green coffee has various health advantages, including the ability to melt belly and waist fat and increase feelings of fullness.
As a result, losing weight with green coffee is simple, but it’s still important to eat in moderation with all foods. And if you do too much, you’ll have issues.
3. Ganoderma coffee
Try Ganoderma coffee if you like the flavor of coffee and are curious about it. You should have Ganoderma coffee twice daily, in the morning and the evening, in order to see the slimming effects of the beverage.
4. Arabica coffee
Arabica coffee is among the best in the world because it is of good quality, has a vibrant color, and tastes great. Because Arabica coffee contains a lot of caffeine, drinking Arabica coffee speeds up your metabolism and helps you lose weight.
Drinking coffee and water makes you feel full and reduces the urge to eat, but if you do it too often, you could develop cardiovascular illnesses. To lessen these issues and prevent dehydration, you can drink coffee with water.
Excessive coffee intake results in:
• Nerve stimulation
• nausea
• confusion
• Reduced concentration
• Damage to body organs
Many teenagers use caffeine to increase their energy levels before soccer games or to help them remain awake the night before exams, but consuming too much caffeine can be bad for their health.
Teenagers are only allowed 100 mg of caffeine per day, whereas adults are allowed 400 mg. Despite the fact that caffeine cannot be consumed in any form by anyone under the age of 12, this still occurs.
What is caffeine?
The leaves and seeds of numerous plants naturally contain caffeine, a narcotic chemical. Of course, it can also be manufactured artificially and added to some foods and beverages. Caffeine boosts alertness by stimulating the central nervous system.
Caffeine is commonly used to increase energy and briefly lift the mood.
You need to be aware of caffeine’s drawbacks!
Small doses of caffeine have been demonstrated to improve mood, attentiveness, accuracy, and information processing. However, adults are the primary subjects of these studies, not kids or teenagers.
Additionally, some people’s bodies are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than others, so even a small amount of it might have negative effects. Caffeine’s effects could kick in as soon as a few minutes after consumption. The following are a few negative effects of caffeine consumption:
• insomnia
• restlessness
• inflammation
• heart beat
• Muscle tremors
• anger
• stomach ache
• Headache
• Trouble concentrating
• Increased blood pressure
How does caffeine affect teenagers differently than it does adults?
Caffeine slows down children’s growth and disrupts key neural pathways in the brain. Caffeine reduces the effectiveness of a neural connection in adulthood, the time when the brain has the most neural connections.
Caffeine also interferes with children’s sleep. A 13-year-old child loses 12% of his eight and a half hours of sleep for every 10 milligrams of coffee he consumes. Lack of sleep among adolescents affects their performance in school and their physical and emotional well-being.
Caffeine promotes the excretion of calcium, which eventually results in osteoporosis. Additionally, it contributes to issues including heart conditions and medication interference.
After puberty, boys and girls respond differently to caffeine. Boys typically respond to coffee more strongly than girls. For instance, boys experience more heart palpitations and girls experience higher diastolic blood pressure after consuming coffee.
Does consuming caffeine cause addiction?
Caffeine drinkers who stop may have quite bad withdrawal symptoms. Several of these signs include:
• Headache
• tiredness
• Drowsiness
• Concentration problems
• Difficulty completing tasks
• bad temper
• depression
• anxiety
• Flu-like symptoms (nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, etc.)
• Disorders of mental activities and cognitive functions
Are energy drinks acceptable for teenagers to consume?
Many youngsters often take energy drinks despite warnings. The amount of caffeine in one energy drink is 500 mg, which is the same as 14 small soda bottles. These drinks have extra unhealthy ingredients for teenagers in addition to caffeine.
How can we get teenagers to use less caffeine?
You must use tactics to encourage your kids to develop good habits and restrict their caffeine intake because you have little control over what they consume when you are not present.
1. Learn more about the appropriate caffeine consumption amount.
Caffeine content is not listed on nutrition labels for products. However, this quantity is specified in the product’s component list. Find out how much caffeine your child is permitted to ingest by taking their age into account and conducting an online search.
2: Talk to your kids about staying healthy.
Numerous caffeinated drinks contain sugar, which contributes to obesity and tooth damage. Therefore, minimizing caffeine is crucial for children’s general health. Try to educate your kids about the risks associated with sugary and caffeinated beverages.
3. Set a positive example for your child.
If you drink coffee to keep your body functioning properly, you are unintentionally encouraging your child to do the same when things get tough.
4: Inform your child about the risks associated with coffee.
Talk to your kids about the risks of coffee in the same way that you talk to them about the risks of drugs and alcohol. Inform them about the dangers of excessive coffee consumption.
5. Sip lots of milk and water.
Get your family used to drinking water and low-fat dairy products by stocking your refrigerator with those items rather than soda and energy drinks.
6. Aid your kid in giving up
Help your child stop if they are ingesting too much caffeine.
7. Keep an eye out for your kids’ use of caffeine.
One of the potential causes of your child’s anxiety and inability to fall asleep soundly is that he recently drank coffee.
Conclusion
The aforementioned coffee varieties influence weight loss by causing fat burning. However, you shouldn’t count on coffee by itself to help you lose weight. In addition to drinking coffee, you should maintain a nutritious diet and engage in regular exercise because these two things are necessary for fat burning.
You should be aware that drinking too much coffee has no similar health benefits as other foods. Normal daily coffee consumption ranges from two to four cups, but if you have high blood pressure or are pregnant, you should consult your personal physician.

''For other persons named Muhammad, see Muhammad (name). For other uses, see Muhammad (disambiguation).''
Muhammad ( ; also Mohammed, Muhammed, Mohamet, and other variants) was the historical founder of the religion of Islam, considered by Muslims to be the last messenger and prophet of God (Arabic: ألله Allah ).
Sources on Muhammad’s life concur that he was born ca. 570 AD in the city of Mecca in Arabia, was orphaned at a young age, was brought up by his uncle, worked mostly as a merchant, and was married by age 26. At some point, discontented with life in Mecca, he would retreat to a cave in the surrounding mountains for meditation and reflection. According to Islamic tradition, it was here at age 40, in the month of Ramadan, where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event, Muhammad started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. islām ) is man's religion (dīn), and that he was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets.
He gained few followers early on, and was largely met with hostility from the tribes of Mecca. To escape persecution, Muhammad and his followers migrated to Yathrib (Medina ) in the year 622. This historic event, the Hijra, marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. In Medina, Muhammad managed to unite the conflicting tribes, and after eight years of fighting with the Meccan tribes, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Mecca. In 632 AD, on returning to Medina from his 'Farewell pilgrimage', Muhammad fell ill and died at age 63, by which time most of Arabia had converted to Islam.
The revelations (or Ayats, lit. 'Signs of God'), which Muhammad had continued receiving till his death, form the verses of the Qur'an, regarded by Muslims as the “word of God”, around which the religion is based. Besides the Qur'an, Muhammad’s life (sira) and traditions (hadith) are also upheld by Muslims, who consider him to be the “Perfect Man”, whose example (sunnah) is to be followed in all aspects of life.
Etymology
The name Muhammad etymologically means "the praised one" in Arabic. Within Islam, Muhammad is known as Nabi (Prophet) and Rasul (Messenger). Although the Qur'an sometimes declines to make a distinction among prophets, in verse it singles out Muhammad as the "Seal of the Prophets". The Qur'an also refers to Muhammad as "Ahmad" (Arabic :أحمد), Arabic for "more praiseworthy".
Overview
Born to ‘Abdu’llah ibn ‘Abdu’l-Muttalib, Muhammad initially adopted the occupation of a shepherd, and later became a merchant. In his youth, he was called by the nickname "Al-Amin" (Arabic: الامين ), a common Arab name meaning "faithful, trustworthy" and was sought out as an impartial arbitrator. During the month of Ramadan, Muhammad would retreat to a cave located at the summit of Mount Hira, just outside Mecca in the Arabian Hijaz, where he fasted and prayed. When he was about forty (610 CE), Muhammad had a religious experience in this cave; according to Islamic belief, he was visited by the Archangel Gabriel and commanded to recite verses sent by God. These revelations continued until his death twenty-three years later. The collection of these verses is known as the Qur'an.
He expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching strict monotheism, condemning against the social evils of his day, and warning of a Day of Judgment when all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds.
After ignoring Muhammad's preaching, the elites in Mecca, feeling threatened by his message, harassed Muhammad, and persecuted his followers. This continued, and intensified, over more than a decade. The hardships reached a new level for Muhammad after the deaths of his wife Khadija and his uncle Abu Talib, who although not becoming a Muslim had protected Muhammad throughout. Eventually, in 622, Muhammad left Mecca in a journey known to Muslims as the Hijra (the Migration). He settled in the area of Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first Muslim community.
Eight years of war between Muhammad and Meccan forces followed, ending with the Muslim victory and conquest of Mecca. The Muslims subsequently removed everything they considered idolatrous from the Kaaba. Most of the townspeople accepted Islam. In March 632, Muhammad led the pilgrimage known as the Hajj. On returning to Medina he fell ill and died after a few days, on June 8.
Under the caliphs who assumed authority after his death, the Islamic empire expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, southern Spain, and Anatolia. Later conquests, commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the Eastern Hemisphere, including China and Southeast Asia.
Sources for Muhammad's life
The earliest known biography of Muhammad is Ibn Ishaq's Sirah Rasul Allah ("Life of God's messenger",) by a member of the Tabi‘in generation who was born 85 years after Hijra — approximately 717 — and who died in 767. Although the original work is lost, portions of it survive in the recensions of Ibn Hisham (Sirah al-Nabawiyyah, or "Life of the prophet") and Al-Tabari.
Other sources for biographies of Muhammad include various collections of hadith, the military chronicles of Waqidi and the biographies of Waqidi's student Ibn Sa'd (783-845). These texts were recorded more than a century, and often several centuries, after the death of Muhammad. The Qur'an is generally considered by academic scholars to record the words spoken by Muhammad. The Qur'an (a word that literally translates as "Recitation") was also maintained by the huffaz, people who memorized the entire document and recited it.
From a scholarly point of view, the most credible source providing information on events in Muhammad's life is the Qur'an, even though its chronological interpretation is complex, and even though it contains very little in the way of coherent biography. Next in importance are the traditional Muslim biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him (the sira and hadith literature), which provide further information on Muhammad's life. All, or most, of the Qur'an was apparently written down by Muhammad's secretaries while he was alive, but it was, then as now, primarily an orally related document, and the written compilation of the whole Qur'an in its definite form as we have it now was completed early after the death of Muhammad. The earliest surviving written sira (Biographies of Muhammad and quotes attributed to him) dates to 150 years after Muhammad, the compilation and (critical) analysis of which took place even later.
Genealogy
Muhammad traced his genealogy as follows:
Muhammad was born into the Quraysh tribe. He is the son of Abd Allah, who is son of Abd al-Muttalib (Shaiba) son of Hashim (Amr) ibn Abd Manaf (al-Mughira) son of Qusai (Zaid) ibn Kilab ibn Murra son of Ka'b ibn Lu'ay son of Ghalib ibn Fahr (Quraish) son of Malik ibn an-Nadr (Qais) the son of Kinana son of Khuzaimah son of Mudrikah (Amir) son of Ilyas son of Mudar son of Nizar son of Ma'ad ibn Adnan, whom the northern Arabs believed to be their common ancestor. Adnan in turn is said to have been a descendant of Ishmael, son of Abraham. (ibn means "son of" in Arabic; alternate names of people with two names are given in parentheses.)
He was also called Abu-Qaasim (meaning "father of Qaasim") by some, after his short-lived first son.
Childhood
Muhammad was born into an affluent family settled in the northern Arabian town of Mecca. Tradition places it in the Year of the Elephant, commonly identified with 570. Some calculate his birthday as 20 April of that year, while Shi'a Muslims believe it to have been 26 April 570. Other sources calculate the year of his birth to have been 571. Muhammad's father, Abdullah, had died almost six months before he was born and the young boy was brought up by his paternal grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, of the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe. At the age of six, Muhammad lost his mother Amina and became fully orphaned. "Many years later, when he was exiled by his Meccan opponents, on his first pilgrimage from Medina to Mecca, he stopped at his mother's grave and cried bitterly, bringing tears to the eyes of his companions." When he was eight years of age, his grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, who had become his guardian, also died. Muhammad now came under the care of his uncle Abu Talib, the new leader of the Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe, the most powerful in Mecca.
Mecca was a thriving commercial center, due in great part to a shrine (now called the Kaaba) that housed statues of many Arabian gods. Merchants from various tribes would visit Mecca during the pilgrimage season, when all inter-tribal warfare was forbidden and they could trade in safety. While still in his teens, Muhammad began accompanying his uncle on trading journeys to Syria. He thus became well-travelled and knowledgeable about foreign ways.
Middle years
Muhammad became a merchant. He "was involved in trade between the Indian ocean and the Mediterranean Sea." He gained a reputation for reliability and honesty that attracted a proposal from Khadijah, a forty-year-old widow in 595. Muhammad consented to the marriage, which by all accounts was a happy one.
Ibn Ishaq records that Khadijah bore Muhammad six children: three sons named Al Qasem, Abdullah (who is also called Al Tayeb and Al Taher) and Ibrahim, and four daughters. He was also called Abul Qasim (father of Qasim) after his eldest son Qasim, according to Arab customs. All of Khadija's children were born before Muhammad reported receiving his first revelation. His son Qasim died at the age of two. The four daughters are said to be Zainab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatima.
The Shi'a say that Muhammad had only the one daughter, Fatima, and that the other daughters were either children of Khadijah by her previous marriage, or children of her sister.
The Beginnings of the Qur'an
Muhammad often retreated to Mount Hira near Mecca. Islamic tradition holds that the angel Gabriel began communicating with him here in the year 610 and commanded Muhammad to recite the following verses:
* "Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created- Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- Taught man that which he knew not." He thought that he felt evil in the speaker, and his first thought was that it was satan. There was as of yet no message given - nothing by which to know the peculiarities of the religion to be propagated.
Upon receiving these words alone, he was scared, and returned home, relating the event to his wife Khadijah. He was consoled and reassured by Khadijah and her Christian cousin, Waraqah ibn Nawfal. This was all the two heard him relate, thus, though Waraqah immediately tried to console the fearful man with words calculated to make him leave off suicidal contemplations, turning his thoughts to Prophets like Moses, and suggesting that it was Gabriel - but Khadijah proceeded more cautiously, and was only satisfied that the revelations had indeed come from a good source after the conclusion of a test she had devised to determine that very thing. (Waraqah died before ever hearing anything more of the words propagated as given by Gabriel - and the one who was told to recite attached the proposed name of Gabriel to all his recitations.) This was followed by a pause of three years during which Muhammad had gave himself up further to prayers and spiritual practices. When the revelations resumed he was reassured and commanded to begin preaching.
According to Welch, the revelations were accompanied by mysterious seizures. Muhammad was confident that he could distinguish his own thoughts from these messages.
Rejection
According to Muslim tradition, Khadijah and Waraqah, were the first to believe that Muhammad was a prophet. They were soon followed by Muhammad's ten-year-old cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib, close friend Abu Bakr and adopted son Zaid (later known as Zaid bin Haarith.)
Around 613, Muhammad began to preach amongst Meccans most of whom ignored it and a few mocked him, while some others became his followers. There were three main groups of early converts to Islam: younger brothers and sons of great merchants; people who had fallen out of the first rank in their tribe or failed to attain it; and the weak, mostly unprotected foreigners.
As the ranks of Muhammad's followers swelled, he became a threat to the local tribes and the rulers of the city, whose wealth rested upon the Kaaba, the focal point of Meccan religious life, which Muhammad threatened to overthrow. Muhammad’s denunciation of the Meccan traditional religion was especially offensive to his own tribe, the Quraysh, as they were the guardians of the Ka'aba. The great merchants tried to come to some arrangements with Muhammad in exchange for abandoning his preaching. They offered him admission into the inner circle of merchants and establishing his position in the circle by an advantageous marriage. Some of Muhammad's followers fled to the Ethiopian Kingdom of Aksum and founded a small colony there under the protection of the Christian Ethiopian king. (See Islam in Ethiopia).
Several suras and parts of suras are said to date from this time, and reflect its circumstances: see for example al-Masadd, al-Humaza, parts of Maryam and al-Anbiya, al-Kafirun, and Abasa.
In 619, the "year of sorrow", both Muhammad's wife Khadijah and his uncle Abu Talib died. The relationship between Muhammad's group of followers and Muhammad's own Quraysh clan, which were already bad, worsened still further. The controversial Satanic verses incident, if it happened, happened at this time.
Isra and Miraj
Some time in 620, Muhammad told his followers that he had experienced the Isra and Miraj, a miraculous journey said to have been accomplished in one night along with Angel Gabriel. In the first part of the journey, the Isra, he is said to have travelled from Mecca to "the farthest mosque" (in Arabic: masjid al-aqsa), which Muslims usually identify with the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In the second part, the Miraj, Muhammad is said to have toured heaven and hell, and spoken with earlier prophets, such as Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. Ibn Ishaq, author of first biography of Muhammad, presents this event as a spiritual experience while later historians like Al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir present it as a physical journey. Those Muslims subscribing to the latter view consider the place under the Dome of the Rock the site from which Muhammad ascended to heaven.
Hijra to Ethiopia
In 615 AD/CE, a band of Muslims were counseled by the Prophet Muhammad to escape persecution in Mecca and travel to Ethiopia, which was ruled by a Christian king. (see Islam in Ethiopia) In that year, his followers were fleeing from Mecca's leading tribe, the Quraish, who sent emissaries to bring them back to Arabia, but the King of Ethiopia protected Muhammad's followers. Since then, Muhammad himself instructed his followers who came to Ethiopia, to respect and protect Ethiopia as well as live in peace with Ethiopian Christians. Accordingly, some scholars state that Ethiopia was the country that saved Islam from its near destruction and termination.
Hijra to Medina
By 622, Muhammad then emigrated to Medina, then known as Yathrib, a large agricultural oasis where there were a number of Muslim converts. By breaking the link with his own tribe, Muhammad demonstrated that tribal and family loyalties were insignificant compared to the bonds of Islam, a revolutionary idea in the tribal society of Arabia. This Hijra or emigration (traditionally translated into English as "flight") marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar. The Muslim calendar counts dates from the Hijra, which is why Muslim dates have the suffix AH (After Hijra).
Muhammad came to Medina as a mediator, invited to resolve the feud between the Arab factions of Aws and Khazraj. He ultimately did so by absorbing both factions into his Muslim community, forbidding bloodshed among Muslims. However, Medina was also home to a number of Jewish tribes, divided into three major clans: Banu Qainuqa, Banu Qurayza and Banu Nadir, and some minor groups.
There was fighting in Yathrib for around a hundred years before 620. The Jewish tribes allied with other clans and were sometimes on opposing sides. The recurring slaughters and disagreements over the resulting claims, especially after the great battle of Bu'ath in which all the clans were involved, made it obvious to them that the tribal conceptions of blood-feud and an eye for an eye were no longer workable unless "there was one man with authority to adjudicate in disputed cases." A delegation from Medina, consisting of the representatives of the twelve important clans of Medina, invited Muhammad as a neutral outsider to Medina to serve as the chief arbitrator for the entire community. Among the things Muhammad did in order to settle down the longstanding grievances among the tribes of Medina was drafting a document known as the Constitution of Medina (date debated), "establishing a kind of alliance or federation" among the eight Medinan tribes and Muslim emigrants from Mecca, which specified the rights and duties of all citizens and the relationship of the different communities in Medina (including that of the Muslim community to other communities specifically the Jews and other "Peoples of the Book").
Beginnings of conflict
Relations between Mecca and Medina rapidly worsened (see surat al-Baqara). Meccans confiscated all the property that the Muslims had left in Mecca. In Medina, Muhammad signed treaties of alliance and mutual help with neighboring tribes. Mecca declared its hostility and status of war with the Muslims.
In March of 624, Muhammad led some three hundred warriors in a raid on a Meccan merchant caravan. The Meccans successfully defended the caravan, but then decided to teach the Muslims a lesson and marched against Medina. It should be noted that Islamic scholars question narratives regarding looting the caravan on the basis of the Qur'anic version of the account. On March 15, 624 near a place called Badr, the Meccans and the Muslims clashed. Though outnumbered more than three times (one thousand to three hundred - majority of Muslim historians put the exact total at 313) in the battle, the Muslims met with success, killing at least forty-five Meccans and taking seventy prisoners for ransom; only fourteen Muslims died. This marked the real beginning of Muslim military battles.
To his followers, the victory in Badr appeared to be divine authentication of Muhammad's prophethood. Muhammad and his followers were now a dominant force in the oasis of Yathrib (Medina).
After Khadija's death, Muhammad married Aisha, the daughter of his friend Abu Bakr (who would later emerge as the first leader of the Muslims after Muhammad's death). In Medina, he married Hafsah, daughter of Umar (who would eventually become Abu Bakr's successor).
Muhammad's daughter Fatima married Ali, Muhammad's cousin. According to the Sunni, another daughter, Umm Kulthum, married Uthman. Each of these men, in later years, would emerge as successors to Muhammad and political leaders of the Muslims. Thus, all four caliphs were linked to Muhammad by marriage. Sunni Muslims regard these caliphs as the Rashidun, or Rightly Guided. (See Succession to Muhammad for more information on the controversy on the succession to the caliphate).
The conflict with Mecca
In 625 the Meccan leader Abu Sufyan marched on Medina with three thousand men. Urged on by younger Muslims fired up by the victory at Badr and against the advice of Abdallah ibn Ubayy to last out the attack inside the town, Muhammad led his force outside and fought the Battle of Uhud on March 23, that ended in a Muslim defeat (According to Watt however it was not a Muslim defeat from a military standpoint. The Meccans, thinking themselves of having Arabia under their control, had aimed to destroy Muslims completely. But they completely failed to achieve this aim. They killed 75 Muslims for the loss of 77 of their own in Badr. ) However, the Meccan did not occupy the town and withdrew to Mecca because he could not attack on Muhammad's position again for military loss, low morale and possibility of Muslim resistance in the town. There was also hope that Abd-Allah ibn Ubayy leading a group of Muslims in Medina could be win over by diplomacy. In April 627, Abu Sufyan led another strong force against Medina, but couldn't overcome the defenders in the Battle of the Trench.
Following the Muslims' victory at the Battle of the Trench, the Muslims were able, through conversion and conquest, to extend their rule to many of the neighboring cities and tribes.
Muhammad and the Jewish tribes of Medina
After his migration to Medina, Muhammad's attitude towards Christians and Jews became more negative. Many Medinans converted to the faith of the Meccan immigrants, but the Jewish tribes did not. Much to Muhammad's disappointment, they rejected his claim to be a prophet. Their opposition "may well have been for political as well as religious reasons". On religious grounds, the Jews were skeptical of the possibility of a non-Jewish prophet, and also had concerns about possible incompatibilities between the Qur'an and their own scriptures. The Qur'an's response regarding the possibility of a non-Jew being a prophet was that Abraham was not a Jew. The Qur'an also claimed that it was "restoring the pure monotheism of Abraham which had been corrupted in various, clearly specified, ways by Jews and Christians". The Jews also began secretly to connive with Muhammad's enemies in Mecca to overthrow him, Peters states.
After each major battle with the Medinans, Muhammad attacked one of the Jewish tribes (see ). After Badr and Uhud, the Banu Qainuqa and Banu Nadir, respectively, were expelled "with their families and possessions" from Medina. After the Battle of the Trench in 627, the Muslims accused the Jews of Banu Qurayza of conspiring with the Meccans, then wiped them out.
Two types of explanations are given for Muhammad's treatment of the Jews of Medina: Theological and Political. The theological explanation given by some Arab historians and biographers is that:"the punishment of the Medina Jews, who were invited to convert and refused, perfectly exemplify the Quran's tales of what happened to those who rejected the prophets of old." Others offered a political explanation. F.E. Peters, a western scholar of Islam, states that Muhammad's treatment of Jews of Medina was essentially political being prompted by what Muhammad read as treasonous and not some transgression of the law of God. Peters adds that Muhammad was possibly emboldened by his military successes and also wanted to push his advantage. Economical motivations according to Peters also existed since the poorness of the Meccan migrants was a source of concern for Muhammad. Peters argues that Muhammad's treatment of the Jews of Medina was "quite extraordinary", "matched by nothing in the Qur'an", and is "quite at odds with Muhammad's treatment of the Jews he encountered outside Medina."
The truce of Hudaybiyya
Although Muhammad had already delivered verses (-) about the performing of Hajj, Muhammad and Muslims did not perform it due to the enmity of the Quraish. It was the month of Shawwal 6 A.H. when Muhammad saw in a vision that he was shaving his head after the Hajj. Muhammad therefore decided to perform the Hajj in the following month. Hence around the 13th of March, 628 with 1400 Companions he went towards Mecca without the least intention of giving battle. But the Quraish were determined to offer resistance to Muslims and they posted themselves outside Mecca, closing all access to the city. In order to settle the dispute peacefully, Muhammad halted at a place called Hudaybiyya. Hence after series of talks a treaty was signed. The main points of treaty were the following: Many Muslims were not satisfied with the terms of the treaty. However, the Qur'anic sura "Al-Fath" (The Victory) - assured the Muslims that the expedition from which they were now returning must be considered a victorious one. The Muslims did benefit following the treaty; the men of Mecca and Medina could now meet in peace and discuss Islam. Hence, during the following two years the community of Islam more than doubled.
* 1) The two parties and their allies should desist from hostilities against each other
* 2) Muhammad, should not perform Hajj this year
* 3) They may come next year to perform Hajj (unarmed) but shall not stay in Mecca for more than three days
* 4) Any Muslim living in Mecca cannot settle in Medina, but Medinan Muslims may come and join Meccans (and will not be returned).
Muhammad's letters to the Heads of State
According to Muslim tradition, after the signing of the truce, Muhammad sent letters to many rulers of the world, asking them to convert to Islam. Hence he sent messengers (with letters) to Heraclius of the Byzantine Empire (the eastern Roman Empire), Chosroes of Persia, the chief of Yemen and to some others.
Conquest of Mecca
The truce of Hudaybiyya had been in force for two years. The tribe of Khuz'aah had a friendly relationship with Muhammad, while on the other hand their enemies, the Banu Bakr, had an alliance with the Meccans. A clan of the Bakr made a night raid against the Khuz'aah, killing a few of them. The Meccans helped their allies (i.e., the Banu Bakr) with weapons and, according to some sources, a few Meccans also took part in the fighting. After this event, Muhammad sent a message to Mecca with three conditions, asking them to accept one of them. These were the following
* 1) The Meccans were to pay blood-money for those slain among the Khuza'ah tribe, or
* 2) They should have nothing to do with the Banu Bakr, or
* 3) They should declare the truce of Hudaybiyya null.
The Meccans replied that they would accept only the third condition. However, soon they realized their mistake and sent Abu Safyan to renew the Hudaybiyya treaty, but now his request was declined by Muhammad. Muhammad began to prepare for a campaign.
In 630, Muhammad marched on Mecca with an enormous force, said to number more than ten thousand men. Most Meccans converted to Islam, and Muhammad subsequently destroyed all of the statues of Arabian gods in and around the Kaaba, without any exception. Henceforth the pilgrimage would be a Muslim pilgrimage and the shrine was converted to a Muslim shrine.
Unification of Arabia
The capitulation of Mecca and the defeat of an alliance of enemy tribes at Hunayn effectively brought the greater part of the Arabian peninsula under Muhammad's authority. However, this authority was not enforced by a regular government, as Muhammad chose instead to rule through personal relationships and tribal treaties. The Muslims were clearly the dominant force in Arabia, and most of the remaining tribes and states hastened to convert to Islam.
Death
In 632 Muhammad fell ill and suffered for several days with head pain and weakness. He succumbed on Monday, June 8, 632, in the city of Medina, at the age of sixty-three. He is buried in his tomb (what was his house) adjacent to Mosque of the Prophet in Medina.
Muhammad as a military leader
For most of the sixty-three years of his life, Muhammad was a merchant, then a religious leader. He took up the sword late in his life. He was an active military leader for ten years.
Family life
Muhammad's life is traditionally defined into two epochs: pre-hijra (emigration) in Mecca, a city in northern Arabia, from the year 570 to 622, and post-hijra in Medina, from 622 until his death in 632. All but two of his marriages were contracted after the migration to Medina.
He married 11 or 13 women depending upon the differing accounts of who his wives were. At the age of 25, Muhammad married Khadijah which lasted for 25 years. This marriage is described as "long" and "happy," and he relied upon Khadija in many ways. After her death, friends of Muhammad advised him to marry again, but he was reluctant to do so. It was suggested to Muhammad by Khawla bint Hakim, that he should marry Sawda bint Zama, a Muslim widow, or Aisha. Muhammad is said to have asked her to arrange for him to marry both. Later, Muhammad married additional wives, to make for a total of eleven, of whom nine or ten survived him. Scholars such as Esposito and Watt hold that most of the marriages had political or social motives.
The status of several of Muhammad's wives is disputed by scholars. Maria al-Qibtiyya may have been a slave, a freed slave, or a wife. While there is some debate about the age of Aisha (Ayesha), most references, including the Bukhari Hadith, put the marriage age at 5 or 6 and consummation of the marriage at the age of 9.
Muhammad had children by only two wives. Khadijah is said to have borne him four daughters and a son; only one daughter, Fatima and her children survived her father, see Shia. Some say that his daughter Zainab, mother to a daughter called Amma or Umama, survived him as well. Shi'a Muslims dispute the number of Muhammad's children, stating that he had only one daughter, and that the other "daughters" were step-daughters. Maria al-Qibtiyya bore him a son, but the child died when he was ten months old.
Descendants of Muhammad are known as sharifs شريف (plural: ِأشراف Ashraaf) or sayyid. Many rulers and notables in Muslim countries, past and present have professed such descent, with various degrees of credibility, such as the Fatimid dynasty of North Africa, the Idrisids, the current royal families of Jordan. In various Muslim countries, there are societies of varying credibility that authenticate claims of descent.
There is some dispute between Shia scholars regarding the genealogy of the four daughters of Khadija on whether they were born to Khadijah from her marriage to Muhammad, an earlier marriage, or if they were in fact the daughters of a widowed and dead sister of Khadija. Sunni's believe he had four daughters with Khadîjah. Shi'a accept Fatimah to be Muhammad's only surviving child, while some Sunni question that.
There is also a difference of opinion regarding whether he had two or four sons. The conflict arises from some reports on the sons of Khadijah mentioning two sons called Tahir and Tayyab, and another mentioning one called Abdullah who was also called Tahir and possibly also called Tayyab. Ibrâhîm was the only child borne to him by Maria during his residence in Medina and the last to be born. Abdullâh was born after he declared himself a prophet but died during his residence in Mecca. All his other sons died before his claims of prophecy.
In the Islamic prayer, Muslims end with the second tashahhud asking God to bless Muhammad and his descendants just as Abraham and his descendants were blessed.
Children of Khadijah:
Sons:
* Abd-Allah ibn Muhammad
* Qasim ibn Muhammad
Daughters:
* Ruqayyah bint Muhammad
* Umm Kulthum bint Muhammad
* Zainab bint Muhammad
* Fatima Zahra
Children of Maria:
* Ibrahim ibn Muhammad
Companions
The term Sahaba (companion) refers to anyone who meets three criteria: to be a contemporary of Muhammad, to have heard Muhammad speak on at least one occasion, and to be a convert to Islam. Companions are considered the ultimate sources for the oral traditions, or hadith, on which much of Muslim law and practice are based. The following are a few examples in alphabetic order:
* Abdullah ibn Abbas
* Abu Bakr
* Abu Dharr
* Ali ibn Abi Talib
* Ammar
* Bilal
* Hamza
* Al-Miqdad
* Sa'd
* Zayd
* Salman the Persian
* Talha
* Umar
* Uthman
* Zubair
Muhammad the reformer
Bernard Lewis says that there are two important political traditions in Islam - one that views Muhammad as a statesman in Medina, and another that views him as a rebel in Mecca. He sees Islam itself as a type of revolution that greatly changed the societies into which the new religion was brought.
Historians generally agree that Islamic social reforms in areas such as social security, family structure, slavery and the rights of women improved on what was present in existing Arab society. For example, according to Lewis, Islam "from the first denounced aristocratic privilege, rejected hierarchy, and adopted a formula of the career open to the talents"
Muhammad's message transformed the society and moral order of life in the Arabian Peninsula through reorientation of society as regards to identity, world view, and the hierarchy of values.
Economic reforms addressed the plight of the poor, which was becoming an issue in pre-Islamic Mecca. The Qur'an requires payment of an alms tax (zakat) for the benefit of the poor, and as Muhammad's position grew in power he demanded that those tribes who wanted to ally with him implement the zakat in particular.
Miracles in the Muslim biographies
The pre-modern Muslim biographies of Muhammad envisions Muhammad as a cosmic figure, invested with superhuman qualities. Modern Muslim biographies of Muhammad however portray him as a progressive social reformer, a political leader and a model of human virtue. The view of these modern biographies is that Muhammad's real miracle, as Daniel Brown states modern historians would probably agree, 'was not a moon split or a sighing palm tree, but the transformation of the Arabs from marauding bands of nomads into world conquerors.'
Carl Ernst believes that this main shift away from presenting a miraculous view of Muhammad has been a response to the stridently negative depictions of Muhammad created by European authors. Daniel Brown adds two more reasons: First, Muslims in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were faced with social and political turmoil. The desire for the restoration of the Muslim community encouraged them to view Muhammad as a model for social and political reform. And lastly, 'the ongoing challenge of reforming or reviving Islamic law perpetuated concern for the life of Muhammad as a normative model for human behavior.' Ernst states that this main shift reflects the growth of bourgeois scientific rationalism in Muslim countries.
Seal of the prophets
Muslims believe Muhammad to be the last in a line of prophets of God (Arabic Allah) and regard his mission as one of restoring the original monotheistic faith of Adam, Abraham and other prophets of Islam that had become corrupted by man over time. The Qur'an specifically refers to Muhammad as the "Seal of the Prophets", which is taken by most Muslims to believe him to be the last and greatest of the prophets. Scholars such as Welch however hold that this Muslim belief is most likely a later interpretation of the Seal of the Prophets. Carl Ernst considers this phrase to mean that Muhammad's "imprint on history is as final as a wax seal on a letter". Wilferd Madelung states that the meaning of this term is not certain.
More traditions
* Muslims tradition narrates miracles during his time growing up in the desert as an infant during the period when Muhammad was placed in the care of a Bedouin wet nurse - Halima Sadia.
* After he returned to Mecca, he is said to have been beloved by all around him because he was such a polite and honest child.
* As a youth, he was called upon to solve a vexing political problem for his Meccan neighbors. They were rebuilding the Kaaba and feuding over which clan should have the honor of raising the Black Stone into place. Muhammad suggested that the heads of each clan raise the Black Stone on a cloth, so that all had the honor of lifting it. Muhammad then put the stone into its place.
* As a young man and a merchant, Muslim tradition asserts that Muhammad was known to be trustworthy and honest. The other Meccans called him "Al-Amin", the trustworthy one or the honest one. After he proclaimed his prophethood, however, his neighbors turned against him.
Depictions of Muhammad
Muslims differ as to whether or not visual depictions of Muhammad are permissible. The position of the four main Sunni Muslim Maddhabs is that, to prevent idolatry and shirk, visual depictions of Muhammad are forbidden; some non-maddhab groups, such as the Salafi movement, take a similar line.
The Shia and others have historically taken a much less restrictive view of such depictions, allowing them if they are meant to praise Muhammad, while a school of Sufi'ism uses calligraphy of the name of Muhammad, Ali, Hussein and other important people in Muslim History to create images of the people.
Muslim veneration of Muhammad
It is traditional for Muslims to illustrate and express love and veneration for Muhammad. This is observed in a number of different ways. When Muslims say or write Muhammad's name, they usually follow it with Peace be upon him or its Arabic equivalent, sallalahu alayhi wasallam, and for Shias this is extended to Peace be upon him and his descendants. In English this is often abbreviated to "(pbuh)", "(saw)" and "pbuh&hd" for Shias, or even just simply as "p". The Quran gave him the title Apostle of God (Arabic: Rasul-Allah or Rasulallah), which has also been used by Muslims, as well as the title "Prophet". Concerts of Muslim, and especially Sufi, devotional music include songs praising Muhammad. There are religious songs Nasheeds which regularly praise Muhammad.
Conversely, criticism of Muhammad is often equated with blasphemy, which is punishable by death in Pakistan.
Medieval Christian views of Muhammad
While Muslim tradition has glorified and mythified Muhammad over centuries, Western tradition often has been critical towards him. The medieval scholars and churchmen held that Islam was the work of Muhammad who in turn was inspired by Satan. Theories emerged, for example in order to show that Muhammad was the anti-Christ, it was asserted that Muhammad died not in the year 632 but in the year 666 - the number of the Beast. A verbal expression of Christian contempt for Islam was expressed in turning his name from Muhammad to Mahound, the "devil incarnate". Bernard Lewis states that "The development of the concept of Mahound started with considering Muhammad as a kind of demon or false god worshipped with Apollyon and Termangant in an unholy trinity. After the reformation, Muhammad was conceived as a cunning and self-seeking impostor." . Such criticisms have become less common over the last two centuries.
Other religious traditions in regard to Muhammad
* The Druze, who accept most but not all Qur'anic revelations, also consider him a prophet.
* Bahá'ís venerate Muhammad as one of a number of prophets or "Manifestations of God", but consider his teachings to have been superseded by those of Bahá'u'lláh. | WIKI |
Europe finishes on a positive note amid strong earnings; HSBC shares fall 3%
European equities posted solid gains by the close on Tuesday, as investors shook off volatility concerns and focused on better-than-expected corporate results. The pan-European Stoxx 600 ended 0.60 percent higher provisionally, with the majority of sectors closing in positive territory. On the bourses front, the U.K.'s FTSE 100 finished trade roughly flat, down 0.01 percent, while France's CAC 40 and Germany's DAX closed higher, up 0.64 percent and 0.83 percent respectively. Chemicals was a top performing sector on Tuesday, closing up 1.17 percent boosted by Covestro, which closed up 3.33 percent. The German manufacturer said it had generated cash at a faster rate than previously thought in its quarterly earnings. Covestro now believes it will reach its cumulative operating cash flow target of 5 billion euros ($6.19 billion) in 3 years, rather than in 5 years. Mining giant BHP Billiton posted a 25 percent rise in underlying half-year profit on Tuesday. The company also handed an extra $800 million to shareholders as it projected rising cash flows in the second half. However, its shares were off 4.58 percent by the close. U.K. listed lender HSBC reported a jump in annual pre-tax profit but missed analysts expectations after U.S. tax changes prompted it to take a $1.3 billion write-down, causing shares to slip 3.1 percent. Stocks in Asia slipped Tuesday, while U.S. markets were mostly lower as concerns over higher interest rates lingered, and Walmart shares tumbled. In politics, Brexit Minister David Davis said that the U.K. and European Union could reach an agreement on access to each others' markets, while shrugging off concerns that Britain would use Brexit to cut regulation to attract global businesses, Reuters reported. Elsewhere, Venezuela is due to launch its so-called petro token on Tuesday. The controversial bitcoin-like digital currency is designed to help make the oil-dependent state make financial transactions and bypass Western sanctions. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Talk:2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks
Merger proposal
This article has recently been created in order to cover the Gaza arena of the 2011 southern Israel attacks. It seems there might be a problem covering the Gaza arena as a WP:DUE event, outside the context of the southern Israel attacks, as well as WP:RS relation to this arena as such.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:26, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* These attacks deserve an article of their own, not just a small section within an already excisting article. These attacks are notable - they led to truce between Israel and Hamas being broken. Polozooza (talk) 21:29, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Do you have a source for that?Greyshark09 (talk) 21:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Sure I do. The first thing google gives me if I type in "gaza+attack+truce+hamas" is this one. Plenty of sources, both online and offline, can be found that mention these airstrikes as the direct reason for the truce to end. Polozooza (talk) 21:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Are you joking? i asked WP:RS, not "antiwar" blog.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:36, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* No jokes, just being lazy. ;) It was the first thing that showed up. There are plenty of other sources to be found. Polozooza (talk) 21:43, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* While you might be currently in some laziness state, i suggest you make notice of WP:SOAP and WP:OR rules in your free time.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:56, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* There are plenty out there, and im sure on that page too
* Im neutral on this, though merging the two and changing the title would make 1 better article instead of 2 shitty ones. Alternatively, to satisfy two possible biases on such 1rr articles, we could paraphrase this on the section f the response on that article and "main" link it here.
* Also not to sure that anti-war is the best source, but tehre are plentyLihaas (talk) 21:32, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* With a little work, both articles could easily upgrade above the level "shitty". The other article isn't that bad, either. This one could be (and should be) just as good. The events described, and the results of these events, are certainly noteworthy. Polozooza (talk) 21:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Both articles seem perfectly justified. I see no reason to merge. Surely we can figure that out later if its appropriate. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 22:04, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Indeed, and while this article is linked on many pages and on the Main Page, we should strive to expand it as much a possible and make it a proper article. All those templates don't look very nice for readers, I think. ;) Polozooza (talk) 22:07, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* I removed the orange tags as they didn't make any sense. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 23:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* I also think this article should be merged into 2011 southern Israel attacks. קולנואני (talk) 22:37, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Support merger. קולנואני (talk) 21:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I think that the best solution would be to have two separate articles. Or take the Gaza raids information to the 2011 southern Israel attacks article as expansion. But until that is made properly I support two articles.--BabbaQ (talk) 22:44, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* The way the article stands this has more Gaza reaction to the attack and that has more of the other (which was dubious per ITN). i now strongly support a merge and name change to something like August 2011 Israel-Gaza militant tensions or August 2011 Israel-Gaza attacks(Lihaas (talk) 23:33, 20 August 2011 (UTC)).
* Support Move to sandbox or merge per WP:CFORK Wikifan Be nice 23:38, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Support merger. The two articles are strongly related. They can always be resplit. Metallurgist (talk) 23:38, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Most people dont seem to agree with the interpretation of fork, hnece consensus generating discussions
* Metallurgist, whats the point in that? you havent explained.(Lihaas (talk) 00:01, 21 August 2011 (UTC)).
* Oppose. They look like separate events in separate locations. One in the Aqaba gulf and one in Gaza. Night w 01:34, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Seem like what? Everything is in this article is in the other one. It is 100% content fork, and arguably a POV one as well. I cannot believe it is being featured. Wikifan Be nice 02:32, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Merge. Definitely a content fork - the "background" in this article and the "aftermath" in the other mean they cover basically the same content, and the events cannot well be separated either. Also extremely likely (in this topic area) to become a POV fork. One query: what would the article be called? I don't think it's appropriate to treat Israel's retaliation merely as "aftermath," which we would be implying if we kept the current title of 2011 southern Israel attacks. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:38, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Lihaas's suggestion of "August 2011 Israel-Gaza attacks" seems good. Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 03:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oppose merger. One side claims they're related, the other side claims they're not. Therefore per NPOV there is no reason to assume they are related. We simply mention that the Israeli government claims that they are related in both articles, which is sufficient to present their POV. Jim Sukwutput 05:54, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Support merger. Retaliation to an act of terrorism is not necessarily sufficient for an article of its own when it can be included in the Southern Israel attacks article as response. The air strikes clearly appear to be a response to what occurred near Eilat. This event would not have occurred otherwise.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:11, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oppose - just doing this for the record. My reasons are stated above in the discussion.--BabbaQ (talk) 08:44, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oppose - and would like to make a different suggestion: Imagine that this thing escalates into another round of Israeli-Gaza war. We then *should* one article on this "Nth Israeli-Gaza war", and one separate article on the the thing that started it all (the attack on the road). Just like we have separate articles for World War I and the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria which was the reason/excuse for this war. But, importantly, we cannot call the second article the "August 2011 Gaza Strip air raids", because then where will we write about the Hamas's retaliation to those, and Israel's 2nd retaliation, and Hamas's 3rd retaliation, and so on and so on? I suggest calling the second article something like August 2011 Gaza-Israel clashes, with the term "clashes" perhaps replaced by something else which the media will call this. Nyh (talk) 12:44, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with Nyh. I wouldn't be strongly opposed to a merge if this conflict escalates and the succeeding attacks become more significant (i.e. outright warfare). But right now I don't see any rationale for a merger. Jim Sukwutput
* Support merged article (with perhaps a different title) - both the the attacks in Israel and the subsequent air raids in Gaza did not take place in a vacuum, they took place within the broader context of ongoing Palestinian/Israeli attack and retaliation, and for the reader to understand this broader context, both sub-events should be discussed together. Blueboar (talk) 20:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* But if we take your logic to the extreme, there should only be one article for the seven-decade long conflict. Obviously that'd be silly, so there must be a point where we choose to split up a topic into several articles, right? Jim Sukwutput 20:43, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Comment. Now that 2011 southern Israel attacks has been renamed 2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks, I think it makes the case for a merge into that article even stronger because that title can encompass both the original terrorist attacks and the Israeli air strike into Gaza rendering the point of this article relatively useless by itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:50, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Merge. For the reasons stated above. Brmull (talk) 02:06, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oppose and Rename to 2011 Gaza - Israel conflict. Merger would result a synthesis of two distinct events. The two are related but not a single campaign. Reliable sources are not saying this is a single event. This would immensely confuse the readers. The current name of the article is also confusing, since it appears to document a one-sided attack rather than bidirectional warfare. Marokwitz (talk) 14:13, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Merge for the reasons stated above, also the information seem to be contained in one article without a big problem. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:58, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Merge as to the reason that Israel always attacks Gaza after they fire rockets and this time is not really that different or special to deserve an article. (NamflNamfl) 02:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk)
* Comment - due to conflicting renaming proposal this merge proposal is relisted on the noticeboard and due to be discussed according to standard procedures. The conflicting renaming is frozen until the merge voting is closed.Greyshark09 (talk) 18:08, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
* Huh? What is going on now?--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:13, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* You made a conflicting proposal of renaming, while this merging proposal had still been standing, thus your proposal was also disrupting and might even be irrelevant if the merge dicussion outcome is merge. However, if the merging discussion is closed with keep, then we would go back to your renamal proposal. The usual timewindow for each proposal is one week, though it might vary, depending on specific circumstances.Greyshark09 (talk) 16:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* 10 say to merge (~59%). 7 say not to merge (~41%). Does this mean there will be a merge? Israguy (talk) 01:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* It doesn't really work that way. I/P can be rather partisan so evaluating a discussion based on oppose/supports alone is dubious. As of RIGHT NOW, the article has nothing unique to separate it from the 2011 attacks in southern israel. Literally, virtually everything here - including the infobox - is in the article. A pure fork, POV or not. So if there is anything of worth to merge, fine - but the article needs to be taken down soon. Wikifan Be nice 05:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* Support merge - Unnecessary content fork, current article does nothing but rehash information already specified in the other. The raids follow and are a direct result of the southern Israel attack, whatever one may feel about Israel's choice of target. Even criticism of Israel's choice of attacking Gaza would be out of place in an article that divorces the raids from the attack that preceded it, when the criticism is centered on the identity of the attackers. Poliocretes (talk) 10:50, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* I believe the reasoning for merge is solid and grounded in policy. Only a few sentences would be merged in that case, because the rest of the article is copy-paste from the original article. Wikifan Be nice 14:31, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
* Request made here. Wikifan Be nice 14:35, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

* Oops. I changed it to a different template before reading this. I didn't think "operational" was appropriate. Honestly this article is unnecessary and IMO a fork. Title should be changed as well. Wikifan Be nice 21:48, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Title should be changed to what, exactly? And why is this a fork? Please elaborate. Polozooza (talk) 21:52, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* It's a fork of the original article. This is not an independent event, but part of the attacks on Israel prior. All the information here is already in the other article. That is the definition of a fork. Wikifan Be nice 23:37, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Thats the basis for this consensus generating debate and hence your opinion. doesnt mean you change things to what you prefer in the meantime while were discussing(Lihaas (talk) 23:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)).
* All the information were in the other article only because of your relentless POV-pushing and using the article as your political platform. The other users here are simply cleaning up the mess. Jim Sukwutput 05:47, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* me?(Lihaas (talk) 11:27, 21 August 2011 (UTC)).
* And rightfully so; the article is linked on the Main Page, after all. Now the other article wasn't too perfect either - the lead was very, very dubious if I recall correctly. Polozooza (talk) 09:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* No, Lihaas, you've done a great job in this article. I was referring to Wikifan. Jim Sukwutput 12:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
xinhua reference
Is this really a reliable source? The notion that Israeli air attacks is motivated by inner turmoil seems quaint, to say the least. As is the idea that IDF capabilities would be affected by these attacks. Ketil (talk) 22:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* Xinhua is a RS. Discussions as such should be at RSN.Lihaas (talk) 22:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Civailian targets?
An editor continues to say civilian targets were attacked when one of the dead was a Chief Warrant Officer from yammam and "Another fatality was Staff Sgt. Moshe Naftali, 22, of the Israel Defense Forces' Golani Brigade." a bomb by an idf patrol is NOT civilian(Lihaas (talk) 23:20, 20 August 2011 (UTC)).
* added sources et al to article and clarified both civilian and military targets.✅?(Lihaas (talk) 23:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC)).
Beware of synthesis
Unless we can find a set of reliable sources that agree that separate retaliatory responses by Israel due to separate attacks by Palestinian militants are an single event ("August 2011 Gaza Strip air raids" or similar), then this entire article is a violation of WP:SYNTH. In particular, it's highly doubtful that the earlier Israeli response to a Beer Sheva rocket and the current Israeli response to the Eilat attacks should be considered a single event. Doing so seems to be a transparently POV attempt to make it look like Israel is "attacking" Gaza. It's well known that Israel retaliates in direct response to terrorist (or "militant" or whatever) attacks coming from Palestinians, but each of these needs to be kept strictly separate unless there is clear evidence from reliable sources of linkage. In this case I doubt the Aug 14 rocketing/response has anything to do with the Eilat attacks, esp. as the scope of the Aug 18 Eilat attacks suggests far more time was require to plan this thing than the 4 days between Aug 14 and Aug 18.
I would suggest deleting/merging this article because of this. Benwing (talk) 02:38, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* This article was created in response to concerns about an "in the news" item on the Main Page. That news item said Hamas cancelled the de facto truce due to "attacks on Gaza." This article was created as a target for a wikilnk from "attacks on Gaza" to explain what attacks Hamas was talking about. After this article got started, someone asked for citations about air attacks on Gaza in August 2011 that preceded the August 18 incident. Perhaps "synthesis" arises from the article title's mentioning August 2011. I agree the article should report Israel's claim that each air strike into Gaza was a response to a specific provocation. Sharktopus talk 03:27, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* this article shouldn't have been created to begin with. no articles should be created "in response" to other articles. it screams fork. Wikifan Be nice 03:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Let's keep the discussion in one place, in this case In_the_news/Candidates. Though it's a bit pointless as we already have overwhelming consensus, with only Wikifan dissenting. Jim Sukwutput 05:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I did not say this article was created "in response to another article." I said it was created in response to a Main Page problem with In the News. Just to give a bit more context, a few months ago ITN had a similar issue with an item about a frog previously thought extinct. ITN was pointing to an article about the frog in question. People complained the article was substandard; the ITN item vanished from the front page, the frog article was improved, the ITN item linking to it was reinstated. There is currently an item at ITN that originally said it was about "attacks on Gaza" but that linked to a (substandard) article about attacks on Israel. Now the ITN item links to both articles. Ultimately, the two articles will probably merge into a single article which will sadly be about a series of attacks, revenge-attacks, revenge-for-revenge-attacks, etc. in the Middle East and involving Israel, Gaza, and Egypt. But as Jim S points out, that discussion will happen somewhere else. Sharktopus talk 11:36, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
bias
The article, as currently reads, is biased to the side of Hamas. The article clearly uses tones and words such as "according to the Israeli government" "for which they blamed the Popular Resistance Committees, who denied involvement.[1]" ". That incident was said to be retaliation for a Palestinian rocket that landed in Beersheba." "some of the alleged 20 perpetrators." "Defense Minister Ehud Barak accused the Popular Resistance Committees" I suggest that the article be re-worded to a more neutral tone as soon as convient. DEWY CHEATEM AND HOWE (talk) 05:40, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Which of these statements are not factually correct? Jim Sukwutput 05:42, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* ditto, itd be biased the other side if not. theyre all duly sourced on bnoth pages.(Lihaas (talk) 11:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)).
* What you're describing as bias looks like judicious attempts to avoid bias. How is using terms like "according to" (citing a source of a statement) or "alleged" (a term always used in news articles until proof of guilt is established) bias? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:25, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* A suicide bomber killed several Egyptian soldiers on the Egyptian side of the border with Israel near the Philadelphia Route crossing from where did they got this ? It's quite amusing. Egypt has blamed the deaths on Israel and on wikipedia we find these absurd statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:26, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with the bias claims - these strikes were in response to the attack on Israeli civilian buses and a private car. They were not the cause of the end of the ceasefire but a response to an attack in which 8 civilians were murdered. User:yoni_bhonker
* According to Israel, these strikes were in response to the attacks near Eilat. According to Hamas, these strikes were the motivation for ending the truce. Both statements should be reported and attributed by the article. Sharktopus talk 23:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
So you illegally crossed into Egypt and murdered 5 Egyptian soliders in response to attacks on "civilian" buses in your country by a group from another nation? Dig that hole, JIDF. Dig that hole. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:38, 12 September 2011 (UTC) Sutter Cane
Requested Move to August 2011 Gaza Strip air strikes
The move request to "August 2011 Gaza Strip air attacks" was postponed, since it interrupted the ongoing merge proposal discussion.Greyshark09 (talk) 21:04, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
Requested move
August 2011 Gaza Strip air raids → August 2011 Gaza Strip air strikes – Based upon references given and the definitions of air raid vs. air strike. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:37, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
the name of this article and proposed move references "raids/strikes" while the one focusing on the israeli side references attacks. Is this npov? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:44, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Not necessarily. A raid is an attack. Both sides see them as attacks. If 2011 Gaza Strip air attacks then I'd be willing to consider that a possibility for the article name. I'd argue that raid is potentially not NPOV as it is. If strike is also seen by others as not being NPOV compliant, I think attack would be best.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:47, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Italicized text added in edit for clarification--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:49, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I think it's not npov and it should be changed to "attacks" to match Israeli article.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:58, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I'm going to withdraw this and re-propose with your suggestion for the most NPOV option.
August 2011 Gaza Strip air raids → August 2011 Gaza Strip air attacks –--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 08:05, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* weak oppose per WP article "Air raid refers to an attack by aircraft against ground or sea targets. The term is generally used for strategic bombing, while airstrike is used for smaller-scale tactical attacks." Its not small scale its strategic and much larger than the pre-=aug 18 strikes that preceded it. Although were getting somewhere in the merge proposal above (perhaps) so we should consolidate this there.(Lihaas (talk) 11:25, 21 August 2011 (UTC)).
* Support. Article is fork from 2011 Attacks on southern israel. If a conflict mutates from that article - then one can be created. But right now this article is 100% linked to the original attacks. No original content in this article, none at all. Wikifan Be nice 12:21, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Let me note that Wikifan is supporting a merger, not a rename. He means oppose here. Jim Sukwutput 12:57, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Jim, and if that rename is unsuccessful for what ever reason? The title is clear POV. Lihaas, if you take a look at strategic bombing or total war two concepts linked to air raid you will see air raid is not a NPOV title. Air raids have a very specific meaning in the historical context. Once again, I must state that I prefer merge before move, but given the fact this is a current event swift actions are needed to clear up present NPOV violations.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:00, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* I don't have an opinion about the article's title. All I'm pointing out is that Wikifan12345 appears to be confused in that he's actually supporting a merger, not a rename. Not sure if I misunderstood his comment. Jim Sukwutput 20:40, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Nevermind, I didn't quite understand what you meant. I thought Wikifan was supporting a merge yes, but also a rename should the merge fail, but you are right that was not necessarily clear. I think the best way to understand would be for Wikifan to state whatever he feels.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:46, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
move
What's the point of the move, if this article is going to be merged? קולנואני (talk) 21:56, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* No concensus on this merge has been reached yet. Both the move and the merge are still being discussed. On a side not: I myself am in favour of a move. The article should be renamed as "August 2011 Gaza Strip attacks". Polozooza (talk) 22:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Polozooza is correct. In the event that consensus is not reached on the merge, this move is the best way to address NPOV for all sides. I once again must reiterate my difference of opinion with Polozooza however regarding the preferred solution as I feel that a merge to the now renamed 2011 southern Israel cross-border attacks remains the best option.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:14, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* "August 2011 Gaza Strip attacks" Why? What ref supports such a title? The title is almost identical to the militant attacks on Israel. No media source is portraying Israel's response to attacks on its own borders as equivalent to the attack on Israeli civilians days before. The article should be merged, all the content here is found in the original article. We don't create articles for military responses to attacks on the Taliban every time they blow up a military or civilian outpost unless its a specific operation. And consensus is not about votes, policy takes precedence and lest we forget this article was created without consensus. Wikifan Be nice 23:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

RfC on Accuracy of Using Term "Air Raids"
I'm requesting an RfC at both Politics and History on whether air raid is appropriate terminology given its connection to strategic bombing and total war whereas the Gaza strip attacks seem to be carefully targeted strikes based on evidence originally provided and referenced in this article.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:16, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Carefully targeted? Sure. Still, the resulted in the death of several civilians, among whom a child. The people killed in Eilat where also "carefully targeted" and the attacks "organised". So why not call it an attack aswell, like that article? Whether it be by land, water or air, an attack is an attack is an attack. Polozooza (talk) 20:56, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm curious why the front page says "Israel responds to attacks in southern Israel with air strikes on the Gaza Strip." it was Israel who attacked Gaza first with airstrikes, which killed seven civilians one being a child. As we know, """Hamas was not responsible for the attack""", and therefore Israels attack was unprovoked. The front page should read "Gaza responds to airstrikes in Gaza with rocket fire directed at surrounding Israeli cities".
The front page headline is very misleading and I hope it is changed soon.
Here is the timeline of events:
12:00 pm August 18, 2011 A group of armed militants cross the southern Egyptian border into Israel near the city of Eilat.
12:40 pm August 18, 2011 The 3rd phase of the militants operation is commenced with rocket fire from Egypt.
13:30 pm August 18, 2011 Another attack on a Israeli convoy is staged on the Egyptian-Israeli border, killing 4 civilians.five.
* hours after* Israeli soldiers clashed with the militants along the Egyptian-Israeli border, killing 5 Egyptian policemen.
Israel then launched retaliation air raids against the Hamas run Gaza Strip killing four plus a child.
With rocket fire in response to the airstrikes.

* You're reading the sources wrong. The attacks occurred on Thursday morning, Israel responded after subduing the original militants in a fire-fight. the child (age has said to be 2 or 12) was the son/daughter of a PRC militant. And as far as Israel is concerned, Hamas is responsible for governing Gaza and thus any attacks originating from it is the fault of Hamas. No international organization has disputed this, nor Has Hamas rejected their control over Gaza which they see as legitimate. Wikifan Be nice 21:11, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
comment: This smacks too much of WP:RECENT to have it's own article. Surely this content should be developed in a parent article and after a few months, a more detached determination on whether this deserves it's own article can be made. aprock (talk) 21:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Neutral. I don't see a significant difference between "attacks" and "raids". I do however support the merge. Recent events articles get forked way too much, which wastes editors' time, doesn't improve wikipedia, and it's hard as hell to remove even stupid ones later on. Brmull (talk) 02:25, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Rename to "2011 Gaza - Israel conflict". This article is about a two sided conflict, not "air raids". Marokwitz (talk) 14:19, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Hmm, not a bad idea and neutral too. then we can merge both.Lihaas (talk) 20:36, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oppose rename as this has not been described as an all-out conflict or war. Recent news suggest Israeli government is about to enter an informal cease-fire with Hamas. Unless an actual operation takes place we can't call it a conflict any less than we can call the various spats in Afghanistan/Iraq unique "conflicts." Wikifan Be nice 00:13, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* Israeli government is not negotiating with Hamas. Hamas declared a cease-fire, but rockets are still being fired at Israeli cities and towns. Israeli schools and synagogues are destroyed. a 9 months old baby was hospitalized. If this is not an armed conflict - I don't know what IS. Israguy (talk) 01:10, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Rename article name
The current name "August 2011 Gaza Strip air raids" is bias, since it is not clear from this name that the raid is a retaliation for murders of Israelis on Israeli land. Also - not only Gaza is under attack. Beer Sheva, Askelon, Ashdod, Sderot, Netivot and other southern towns of Israel are under attack - just not by "air raid", but "only" by rockets and missles launched from the ground. Name of article should be less bias and more neutral. Israguy (talk) 00:55, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* How is this not clear? The very first sentence mentions that the attacks were declared as "retaliation" by the Israeli state, with a helpful link to that article. Jim Sukwutput 08:05, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* Fully agree with you Israguy. We are not alone in this view.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:24, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
Disputed nationality
Copy-pasted from my section on this talk page: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Talk:2011_southern_Israel_cross-border_attacks
Some parts of the article state the nationality of the attackers as Palestinian, based on sources which claim the attackers were members of the Popular Resistance Committees. This is a disputed fact, as the PRC denies involvement, and there are verifiable sources showing that: http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?ID=234512&R=R1
I have amended some parts of the article which state Palestinian nationality, based on claims of PRC membership, and it would be good to see more discussion about and critical analysis of sources which make these claims. Arfed (talk) 15:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

* Problem now. the same title with a capital s and lower case s links to the 2 different pages. Proper term is lower case s as its not a proper noun, but the content at capital s is better.
* also need to delete Terror attacks in southern Israel, 2011-08-18 and 2011 Eilat attack (we can redirect the capital s and Eilat attacks here).Lihaas (talk) 14:48, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* for gods sake what the heck is going on! Theres no consensus at all for this new incarnation since there were THREE attacks at various places.Lihaas (talk) 15:00, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* Agree with Lihaas lets merge this article into the 2011 Southern Israel attacks article and move the name 2011 Ein Netafim attacks with it. Easy and best way of solving this.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:07, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Title
It appears that there is disagreement about the title and some confusion on how to solve the disagreement. Therefore, I am opening a discussion. Personally I feel that since there is no official name, and the location of the attacks is called Ein Netafim, the title 2011 Ein Netafim attacks should stay (there was another attack in the same location many years ago, if anyone's interested). If you dispute this, please discuss here. I am going to be out for the next few hours. —Ynhockey (Talk) 15:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* I agree with you on the name. and that the content from this article should be merged into the 2011 Southern Israel attacks and the name 2011 Ein Netafim attacks be moved to that article.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* per below as well there was no consensus ont he move, thre were MULTIPLE attacks several km from each other. southern with a lower case is better.Lihaas (talk) 15:13, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Consensus?
There were no consensus to move 2011 Southern Israel attacks article into this one.... but anyway its done. But I found the other article to be better.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:10, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* Because the article covers all three attacks, in my opinion it is better to change the name of the article to 2011 Southern Israel attacks. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 15:20, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* We seem to have clear consensus on this one. Though may i add 2011 southern Israel attacks. I dont believe "Southern Israel" is a proper noun or official part of teh province or something, its the generic region.Lihaas (talk) 15:31, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

'''Regardless of the name, it was a waste of effort to maintain two different articles. The name can be settled later, I've redirected the other article here so that contributions don't go to waste on parallel articles.''' Poliocretes (talk) 16:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* No one is saying that we need to maintain two separate articles - apparently the two articles were created without their authors being aware that they have created duplicate articles. Anyway, what in your opinion is the most appropriate name for this article? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:53, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
I have moved the article to what appears to be the consensus version, even though I disagree with it—it's not as descriptive as the other title, while being the same length. In any case, let's tie up all the loose ends in the article because there were 3 simultaneous articles created and they were slowly merged, but some confusion still exists about the different ones. For now I'll go over all the redirects and see. —Ynhockey (Talk) 17:18, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Name change
In my opinion, we need to find a better name in order to distinguish this specific event from the many frequent rocket attacks that have been fired by Palestinian militants at Israeli targets in the southern part of Israel during 2011. Any suggestions? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 20:07, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* How about 2011 coordinated guerrilla attacks in southern Israel? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 20:19, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* How about 2011 joint terrorist attacks in southern Israel? Max (talk) 21:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* I think the 2 noms above are a little vague at the moment tille more details emerge 8(first) and pov/wta (second).
* it seems both attacks occurred miles apart to say that they were at just 1 place of the border crossing is deceptive on the third attack. Eilat (which was the original name) seemed good to me, but more details from others emerged that it was outside eilat.Lihaas (talk) 20:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* What the heck is a "militant"? Are IDF members militants? I think guerilla is probably the best term. Certainly "terrorist" is not a good label as its clear meaning and definition have been lost for political reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 16:54, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
I have a suggestion... 2011 Ein Netafim attacks. I really don't understand the opposition to this proposal. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* 2011 Ein Netafim attacks is not a bad suggestion at all, but in my opinion, 2011 coordinated guerrilla attacks in southern Israel or 2011 joint guerrilla attacks in southern Israel would work better because the attacks took place out in the wilderness nearby the highway and didn't occur in one specific spot/village/town. What is the most common name/s this event has received in the media? (please specify your sources). TheCuriousGnome (talk) 21:50, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* But all attacks are not at Ein Netafim, and we dont even have a blue lijnk for it.Lihaas (talk) 22:02, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* As far as I know, all the attacks took place in that area. Do you have a more precise map of the attacks? (the current coordinates in the article seem wrong too). —Ynhockey (Talk) 23:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* I dont, thats why im asking. not sure what the wider Ein Netafim is. I thought it was generally Eilat. (nice airport, in the heart of the city though id say its quite unsecured. and that ol' russiahn plane parked off to look at ;) Nice swim though, but how does security work at the beach by the Jordan border?

* 2011 coordinated guerrilla attacks against Israeli civilians in southern Israel
* 2011 joint guerrilla attacks against Israeli civilians in southern Israel
* 2011 Terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians in southern Israel
Removing sourced content and other things
Compare this to this.
I don't understand why editors manage to remove whole sentences of information, merge unrelated content into ambiguous section titles, and then get away with it.
These kinds of heavy, unilateral edits require consensus. Also, this edit is not line with policy. The source explicitly describes the acts as "terror." It is not the viewpoint of the author, it comes from a reliable source. Guideline: "may express contentious opinion and are best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources to describe the subject, in which case use in-text attribution." Also, - not a policy. No shame in using the T word at 2011 Norway attacks so why can't it be used here?
This edit isn't even supported by the source. And this is SYNTH as the source does not mention the The Popular Resistance Committees nor does the source explicitly dispute claims that the perps were in fact PRC members. So again editors are inserting their own views in the article and it shows. I've already used up my 1 revert but I think Lihaas has made at least 6 in the last 24 hours which is sanctionable. Wikifan Be nice 22:01, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oh for the love of god, inm not revertign anything. Im adding content and sources and explaining everything,. At any rate, also comment on CONTENT. the edit conflicts that i happen to overwrite and readded back (take for example the edit that updated 8 deaths, etc)
* to explain the edits, the reorg of the section (which is NOT a revert of anything but an original edit) is in line organising content as per other attacks artickes when some sections are nothing but 1 line and unsourced at that. Look at the first link and youll see missing fact tags.
* Swarm's edit is right (and it has nothign to do with me) as we dont copy word-for-word from sources, this is not a news service to parrot the media. WTA explicitly says not to use such controversial words unless in quotes. (for which those in the reactions that call it so are duly mentioned)
* the original al jazeera page mentioned the soldiers on board heading to eilat, they must have changed the bit. often they change stuff keeping the sdame link. probs we can remove that then. It is in the source, i just read it. "soldiers on their way home from their respective bases for the weekend."
* Per PRC see the next section (ill go and tag the source there, there was a jpost source that said so) ✅ Lihaas (talk) 22:08, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* Lihaas, adding content is one thing - removing content (and their sources) counts as a revert. Compare the first version to the second. ARBPIA is firm on 1rr per 24 hours to prevent issues like this from arising. Swarm's edit is disputable because the link he cites as a reason is a guideline, not a policy, and the guideline explicitly says go with what the sources say. Norway attack are described as terror in nature in the very first sentence. I encourage you self-revert and restore one of the earlier versions of the article. Wikifan Be nice 22:19, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* What content and sources did i remove? Tell me and ill more than happily avoid this sort of conflict by reverting my edit. I dont think a blanket revert of an entire version would help as it will remove a LOT of other stuff. But if you tell me what i rvted, i will surely self-rvt the controversy.
* Norway attack sholdnt say that and ought to be changed.Lihaas (talk) 22:28, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
Split
Okay Lihaas, I'm going to be as brief and concise as possible.
* this needs to go. None of the sources are suggesting a conflict of who is responsible for this attack. Just because a source doesn't mention a guilty party does not mean they oppose sources that previously stated the perps. Get it? It's call synthesis. Understand it. Breath it. Get it. I see this all the time on Israeli-related articles. Unless an RS says, specifically, "while x said these guys did it, y has yet to confirm said journalism blah blah." We as editors cannot ASSUME this, even if it might be true. Wikifan Be nice 23:32, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* Firstly; refrain from NPA you comment on CONTENT "Understand it. Breath it. Get it." Secondly how is that a revert? what was reverted in adding a NEW section per WP:BOLD.
* How is it then synthesis to cite EXACTLY WHAT IS IN THE SOURCES that security services pblamed PRC. Especially since the infoboxmentions it without a word of prose in the article. That is okay and not synthesis?
* See In_the_news/Candidates for more and more sources that OTHER editors too have said dont attribute claims.Lihaas (talk) 23:40, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* BE BOLD is something not to be used at I/P articles. Editors are limited 1 RR per 24 hours and are expected to gain a consensus or at least explain large removal or expansion of edits made unilaterally in discussion.
* I'm looking at the sources, none of them cite a conflict between x source saying PRC is guilty but b source saying "no, that hasn't been confirmed yet."
* I'll even post the sources for you.
* Only two mentions of PRC. NO mention of media conflict. Simply military believes PRC is responsible for attacks.
* no mention of PRC at all.
* Third source says "Security sources said that the PRC was behind Thursday's triple attack near Eilat.". Again, no mention of media conflict.
* AJ does not mention PRC as an involved party in the attack. Just says PRC was targeted in Gaza, citing Barak
* BBC source is the only cite that can actually be used in the section. It says the PRC denies responsibility, but BBC quotes Reuters. I don't know where that source is exactly. These news organizations end up lifting journalism from each other so when facts get mixed up they mix each other up in the process. But again, still SYNTH. Padding sections with unrelated cites does not help the article at all. Wikifan Be nice 00:10, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Reactions
Im nost sure if Clinton should come before or after the State Depts reaction. What do others think? is the minister or ministry more important? (which per Yes Minister is mostly civil servants who apparently know more)
Also to explain my reorg per a statement above: i tried to be more neutral in the reactions by saying "regional" instead of involved as we dont yet know for sure whos involved.Lihaas (talk) 22:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
* Well in the US, the reaction of the actual Secretary is the most important. The rest of the State Dept is just beaurocrats meant to write her speeches, process passports, arrange meetings, etc. The US gov is more about the personalities that run the departments rather than the department themselves.

Questions...
Is this article going to be part of a potentially greater conflict? three injured by rocket. It seems as though the original attacks have led to further engagements, yet all appear to be connected to the first attack. Suggestions? Wikifan Be nice 03:30, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* This is part of a conflict that has been ongoing for at minimum the past 70 years. There are reactions to reactions to reactions to reactions. So, I'd say let's be a bit conservative here in limiting the scope to what's actually relevant to the attack. I suggest cutting it off at "Israeli retaliation". -- Bob drobbs (talk) 18:15, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Conflicting Reports
This Jerusalem Post Article appear to conflict with this BBC News Article. The BBC Article reports the Egyptian policemen were shot by Israeli forces however it's not confirmed by Israel but they've starting an inquiry whereas an Israeli news station reports that Palestinian suicide bombers killed the Egyptian policemen. According to the BBC article Egypt claims they were shot by Israel however Israeli news says they were killed by Palestinians. I can't make sense of whether on not this is biased Israeli news or not. If I'm confusing two separate events then sorry and please correct me on this, I won't edit the article unless someone else will confirm these are the same event. Karlstar (talk) 16:28, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* You can't make sense of whether or not this is biased BBC news or not, either. Pedantrician (talk) 20:25, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Israeli news says that Israeli forces were shot upon, near the Israel-Egypt border. The Israeli forces shot back, towards the origin of the fire that was shot at them. It seems that the terrorists located themselves very close to an Egyptian post, and therefor Egyptian policemen were shot, when the Israeli force returened fire. But nothing is 100% confirmed yet. קולנואני (talk) 20:05, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Retaliation attacks
They now have their own article: August 2011 Gaza Attack. Makes things a lot easier, I'd say. It is these retaliations, after all, that resulted in Hamas calling off the truce. I would be very glad if some of the editors of this article would be willing to help expand the new article. Some of them have already contributed. Thanks already! Polozooza (talk) 20:11, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* I'm not sure this is a good idea. Israel was attacked by Palestinians. Israel retaliated, and after that - the Palestinians will also retaliate, which will cause Israel to retaliate again, and who knows when this will end. So, what's the point in spliting these articles? קולנואני (talk) 22:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* On it. But should have been in the sandbox before posting it on the mainspace. Not ready for wikipedia IMO. Also, I'd say its a fork and will eventually be deleted/merged - but not until thousands of readers see it. Sigh. Wikifan Be nice 23:29, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
Uh, Israel broke the ceasefire. It's amazing how many times you JIDF think Israel breaking a truce and then being counter-attacked makes the guys who retaliated to be "the ones who broke the truce". It's like Israel is some guy repeatedly punching some other guy in the face and then starts raging about getting revenge for that "unprovoked attack" when he finally punches back...but with an entire nation and nukes. It's pathetic and it's sad you JIDF even think anyone is buying it despite your desperate attempts to troll any responses away. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:42, 12 September 2011 (UTC) Sutter Cane
"Defacto truce"?
In what sense is Hamas breaking a "defacto truce"--rocket attacks into Israel from the Gaza Strip have never ceased.

* In the sense that some/most/all (not sure) of the rockets fired from Gaza to Israel were not fired by Hamas itself, but by other terror organizations. קולנואני (talk) 22:46, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
* In the sense that Hamas and its apologists claim to be the elected government of Gaza, and expect to be granted legitimacy as such when dealing with the international community, they can't suddenly claim to be just one many terrorist gangs when it suits them.

Fatalities - undue??
remove Israel detailed causalties list - WP:DUE; no corresponding list exist for Palestinian victims
How is that undue? There is nothing undue about including fatalities of those killed. There were no "corresponding" Palestinian victims, in the sense of Israelis being killed in cold-blood while Palestinians were killed as Israeli bombed militant targets in Gaza.
Plenty of other articles involve fatality lists. I suggest a self-revert, I'm not sure if I can restore it as I may have used up my 1rr in the last 24hrs. Wikifan Be nice 23:34, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
One killed in Beersheva by a Grad
Gaza terrorists bombarded cities in Israel's southern region Saturday night. One person was killed when a Grad rocket hit Be'er Sheva, and another two were critically wounded. Four others were wounded as well, and are in serious-to-moderate condition.
* Is "bombarded" the right word the use? They did not use bombs, but fired long range missles. Israguy (talk) 05:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* It is, here is the definition from Merriam-Webster's dictionary (about as good as Oxford's, and free! ).
bombardedpast participle, past tense of bom·bard (Verb) 1. Attack (a place or person) continuously with bombs, shells, or other missiles: "the city was bombarded by federal forces"
* Also, not to be a pedant, but aren't the Grads medium-range? The long-range ones are the ones that can hit Tel Aviv... :( Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 12:45, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Moved section on 'Other Attacks'
It clearly belongs further down in the chronology. Placing it before the Israeli Air Strike section is misleading, as it would seem to suggest that it was also involved in precipitating those Israeli attacks. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 01:08, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
POV problem with Jerusalem Post as a source about these attacks
* This article should be based on news sources that distinguish between partisan claims and established fact. Instead, a plurality of its references come from a single right-wing source, the Jerusalem Post. These Jerusalem Post references parrot the Israeli government claim (that the PRC was responsible for the attacks) as if it were established fact.
* "... the Popular Resistance Committees, the organization who orchestrated the terror attacks near Eilat on Thursday that left eight people dead. "
* "...Israel’s response to the terror attacks from the Sinai Peninsula came swiftly Thursday evening when the Israel Air Force bombed the southern Gaza Strip, killing the leadership of the Popular Resistance Committee (PRC), who had orchestrated the attacks."
* We don't yet know who was responsible, and the PRC has denied being involved. Articles that claim otherwise are opinion pieces, not WP:RS news stories. Sharktopus talk 01:56, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Jerusalem Post is an RS. As it stands the article does not say the PRC is responsible, but quotes the views of the IDF, Hamas, PRC (denied), etc. It's not that we don't know who is responsible - it's that other news organizations are slower to respond. This is a regional event, so of course native sources will jump to conclusions faster as information arrives. And the Israeli gov. is just as reliable as the USA/Canada. US news routinely accepts the claims of NATO without challenge. Wikifan Be nice 02:28, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* The New York Times in a RS, but we do not treat opinion pieces in the NYT as reliable sources on matters of fact. I don't think Wikipedia should treat US/Canada/NATO/Israel claims as established fact when those claims are seriously disputed. Sharktopus talk 02:39, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Editorials are an entirely different matter. What op-ed concerns you? I don't see any cited here. Wikifan Be nice 08:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* The two JP items I linked to above, both with the byline of "Yaakov Katz," cross the line from news to opinion when they both claim as established fact that Eilat attacks were by the PRC. Sharktopus talk 11:03, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* No, they didn't "cross the line." Jerusalem Post is an RS, the sources you link are not editorials.
* Security officials said that the suicide bomber was thought to belong to the Popular Resistance Committees, the organization who orchestrated the terror attacks near Eilat on Thursday that left eight people dead.
* While this source says killing the leadership of the Popular Resistance Committee (PRC), who had orchestrated the attacks., it is still an RS in spite of potential conflicts with other sources. This is an on-going event. But none of the sources are editorials. In the article no militant organization has been confirmed as the perpetrator explicitly. Wikifan Be nice 11:30, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Oh come now, JPost isn't right-wing, and definitely not right-wing to the point of not being an RS (that distinction belongs to Arutz Sheva). Though, we could still broaden our sources. Western media is still reporting on this, as shown by the NY Times article I linked further down on the Talk, so we could use some of those. We could also use YNet and HaAretz as well. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 12:55, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Is there an ironclad definition somewhere on Wikipedia of what constitutes a RS? The definitions that I've found seem to make it situational: it depends on whether the editor du jour approves of what the source is saying.. If I were defining it, I would include such criteria as, does the source include both sides of the issue and quote opposing views fairly and accurately. By these criteria, Arutz Sheva passes the test. If it is disqualified simply because it is right wing (i.e., it reports on stories that the rest of the media would just as soon the public know nothing about), then of course it fails. But it beats me why CNN, which openly admitted that it was faking the news from Iraq to please Saddam Hussein, the BBC, whose Arab reporters in Gaza openly declare that they see their reportage as part of the Palestinian struggle against Israel, the New York Times, which displays photos of bloodied Jews on the front page but calls them Arabs, Reuters, who happily accept Photoshopped images until caught, or Ha'Aretz, which does not present anything but the left wing side of the issue, are all unquestioned RS. I believe even Al Jazeera is an RS, no? They obviously have a political agenda, but of course they aren't labeled classic right wing (and Arutz Sheva even quotes them fairly, by the way. Pedantrician (talk) 18:51, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
* Doesn't it seem to you that an article based largely upon a single source is a problem? Especially when somebody points out at least a few cases where that source has conflated opinion with news, failing to identify disputed points? I may well be in error calling it right-wing, based on what I read in Jerusalem Post. Sharktopus talk 13:09, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* There are 80 sources cited which is very respectable, and JP is definitely not a "right wing" source. If you have POV or factual accuracy concerns about specific facts, we can discuss them individually. Marokwitz (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* At the time I first expressed this concern, the article had 57 references, a respectable number; more than 20 of those references went to articles in the J Post, which I thought was a problem. The article is much better now than it was a few days ago. I have identified a couple of problems with a couple of J Post articles in this thread, purely wrt their asserting as "fact" a disputed claim that the PRC was responsible for Eilat attacks. Maybe they were, but international media RS have not asserted that connection as a fact. Sharktopus talk 14:28, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Article Name Problem
There's a problem with the name as is. As I understand it, this article is about the series of 3 attacks which happened in immediate succession a few days ago. Is that right?
However, the article title makes it sound like it should include each and every attack in Southern Israel from all of 2011.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a better name? -- Bob drobbs (talk) 03:12, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* There is no need to change the name of this article. South Israel is under attack. The series of 3 attacks were only the beggining. Israguy (talk) 05:31, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Indeed, there are still rockets being fired into the South. It's even still being reported in the New York Times, amazingly enough. O_O Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 12:30, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Intro
The article introduction contains the parenthetical:
* "(though Hamas had never actually ceased rocket attacks into Israel)"
On the surface this appears to be editorializing. Our very own article Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel itself indicates that such rocket attacks occurred between 2001 and 2009, suggesting that they in fact were significantly diminished. The article goes on to indicate that in 2010 and 2011 there were a number of rocket attacks, but much fewer than before. The editorial parenthetical appears to dismiss this nuance. -x
* The relatively non-existant Hamas ceasefire that the article seems to quote appears to be Israelis unilateral ceasefire (link). The article at the start of the so called ceasefire shows that Israel intended to take indefinite action but Hamas was only limiting it to a week. And while the attacks may have died down, they by no means stopped. Truce does not mean a reduction in violence, it means ceaseation. Just because the media used a word does not mean the definition is being used correctly, and just because the other article in question seems not to cover 2010 and 2011 does not mean that a ceasefire occurred. I'd argue that article is incomplete and out of date.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:06, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Hamas stopped firing rockets themselves, but certain factions like Islamic Jihad managed to fire between one and five rockets a month. There was even a two month period without rockets and Hamas said they were cracking down on the various factions within Gaza to make them stop (which they were apparently. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 12:35, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
* Then I stand corrected.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:27, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
In which section should have include the part that mentions the deaths of the Egyptian soldiers?
Were the 5 Egyptian soldiers killed during the period of the original series of attacks (roughly between 12:00 - 18:00 pm) or were they killed after the original series of attacks? If they were killed during the initial series of attacks - we must move the part which covers the their death to the "The attacks" section instead of the "Israeli retaliation" section in which this section is currently in. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 17:20, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
POV tag
Since I'm already at 1RR, I have placed a POV tag on the article due to CuriousGnome's removal - or rather I should say selective removal, of Palestinian casualties from the infobox. I believe it is sophistry to pretend that this article and its accompanying infobox pertain only to the initial attack, when an entire section of the article is devoted to Israeli retaliations and rightly so. The fact that Gnome (and now Wikifan) have retained only the militant casualties from the Israeli airstrikes makes these edits all the more indefensible. I appeal to the editors in question to restore the full casualty figures. Gatoclass (talk) 16:09, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Wait, don't mix my edits with CuriousGnome. I did not "retain" only militant casualties. However IMO the infobox should only include casualties from the original attacks. Any Palestinians militants/civilians killed later shouldn't be in the infobox. It confuses the reader. Wikifan Be nice 16:14, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Well then, could you at least remove the (+7 attackers) from the infobox? I still don't agree with the reasoning, but you (or gnome) can't have it both ways, either all the Palestinian casualties should be included or none. Gatoclass (talk) 16:21, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Information regarding the Palestinians killed during the actual series of cross-border terror attacks and following battle which brought an end to the August 18th cross-border attacks is currently included in the infobox which covers the actual series of cross-border terror attacks and following battle which brought an end to the August 18th cross-border attacks (the infobox has been moved to the section of the article which covers this event to prevent confusion). This infobox should not contain additional information related to the subsequent events that took place in the following hours and/or days. If do you think that there are still errors in the information that appears in infobox, please state these errors in an objective and civil manner, and we will fix the infobox in order for it to reflect the reality objectively. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:22, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* In my opinion, we can certainly consider, as a balanced approach, to add an additional infobox in the "Israeli retaliation in the Gaza Strip" section which would contain data relating to these subsequent events. What do you think of this compromise proposal? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 16:28, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* It's better than nothing. We may have to address the larger issue at some stage however. BTW, I think your infobox casualty figures are out in any case, I count only six militants killed in the initial attacks, four by Israel and two by Egypt, but the infobox currently indicates a total of nine. Gatoclass (talk) 16:30, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Too many infoboxes. Assuming the other article remains, explicit information about Palestinian deaths and a unique infobox should be moved there. I added an infobox to that article when it was first created but someone removed it. Wikifan Be nice 16:35, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* The other article should probably be merged with this one, they are obviously covering the same event. And "too many infoboxes" may not be ideal, but it's certainly a good deal better than a single infobox that covers only half the casualties. Gatoclass (talk) 16:45, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* I'm not terribly happy with the fact that Gnome has employed a different infobox for the Israeli airstrikes, but as I indicated earlier, this seems to be a problem related to the limitations of the "civilian attack" infobox. We may have to take a closer look at that issue at some stage. Gatoclass (talk) 16:59, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
I agree with Gatoclass that an additional template is needed mainly due to the sensitivity of the subject and as a current more balanced approach. For this reason, and because in this current discussion this is the decision of the majority, I took the liberty of adding a new template to the "Israeli retaliation in the Gaza Strip" section (Gatoclass - if you now object to the use of this template I will remove it immediately). Nevertheless, in my opinion, in the distant future when we would be able to see the whole event and subsequent events in a better perspective, we can definitely considered, based on the decision of the majority in the discussion page of course, summarizing the "Israeli retaliation in the Gaza Strip" section and having the infobox appear only in the August 2011 Gaza Strip air raids article. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 17:03, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* As I said CuriousGnome, I am not entirely happy with the infobox you added, but I think if you cleared the "partof" field it would be more acceptable. It looks very odd to me to have Israeli strikes categorized as "part of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" while the Palestinian attacks that preceded and followed are not so categorized. But as a compromise, if you would agree to clear the field in question, I could probably agree to removing the pov tag. Gatoclass (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* I've added the "Part of Israeli–Palestinian conflict" section to the infobox of the attack. Does this seem as an acceptable compromise to you? TheCuriousGnome (talk) 17:17, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
* Okay, that seems reasonable. I've removed the POV tag. Gatoclass (talk) 17:50, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Perpetrators
The lead says that the perpetrators are assumed to be Palestinian while the infobox says flat out that they are. However, Egyptian authorities say that they have identified three of the people responsible and that at least one of them is based in Sinai (see here). As such, I am removing the infobox line. nableezy - 18:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
* US/Israel say Palestinian militants, CNN says Palestinian militants. No one has suggested this attack was committed by some other people. Need a better source to support Egyptian claims. Wikifan Be nice 00:16, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* So, the US and Israel "say" but Egypt "claims", and an Egyptian newspaper is not a reliable source why exactly? nableezy - 00:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* So, did you read my full edit? CNN says Palestinian militants, US intelligence and Israeli intelligence say Palestinian militants (all published in RS), a non-RS Egyptian newspaper doesn't say non-Palestinian, just "three men." More than a dozen were involved in the attacks, perhaps more who planned it. Wikifan Be nice 00:53, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* Wait a second, why is al-Masry al-Youm not a reliable source? It is a major news source in Egypt, you cant simply dismiss sources you dislike. The source says that one of them men is the head of a Sinai based "terrorist cell", not from Gaza. nableezy - 01:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
I never said I didn't like it, I just assumed it was. And the infobox does not say Gaza Palestinian militants, just "Palestinian militants." Wikifan Be nice 01:27, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* You just assumed it was why? Because it isnt Israeli or American? The al-Masry al-Youm source contradicts the claim that they were Palestinian. You cant just accept the Israeli narrative as gospel truth and claim any Arab source must be unreliable. nableezy - 15:52, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* And to alleviate your concern with using an Egyptian source, an Israeli one repeats the report al-Masry al-Youm and says three of the attackers were Egyptian. Though the article currently goes further than the source (Ill correct that shortly). nableezy - 15:54, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
The "fatalities" section also refers to "Palestinian militants". I'm concerned about such statements. If no-one has taken responsibility for the attacks, then we can't be sure the attackers were Palestinian. They may, for example, have been indigenous Egyptians allied with AQ or another radical group. I think it would be appropriate if the article ceased to refer to the attackers as "Palestinian" as if their identity were known with certainty. Gatoclass (talk) 04:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* Gato, you know better than this. Wikipedia is all about verifiability. Everyone in this section are Palestinians. They attackers may been from mars, right now we just go with what sources say. CNN cite above lists Palestinian militants without citing Israel/Egypt/other sources, so either that is their own independent reportage or something else. Some say Gaza-based al qaeda affliate. No source has suggested any "indigenous Egyptians" of being complicit in this incident. Wikifan Be nice 05:02, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* Perhaps not, but since the identity of the attackers has yet to be confirmed, they could have been anyone, which is the point I am making. Gatoclass (talk) 09:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* Not disputing that. Wikifan Be nice 22:46, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
* Israel News say that some of the perpetrators are Egyptians but most of them are Palestinian from Gaza. And some of them are confirmed Popular Resistance Committees members. Israguy (talk) 00:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* Source? I don't like these claims that the militants were Palestinian, since all of the citations supporting it just make that assertion, without qualifying those claims. Does this not fall foul of some WP rules regarding verifiability? Arfed (talk) 15:06, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
RS? news.xinhuanet.com
How is news.xinhuanet.com a RS? It seems to me that the link provided is not for a news report, but to a personal colum. Israguy (talk) 01:16, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
* Personal column? That's the furthest from the truth you can get. Xinhua is actually the official news agency of the People's Republic of China. They have a POV of course with respect to issues in China, but on international issues they tend to rely on international sources. They're fast and have the most detailed information, which is why they get used so frequently on recent events articles. As for reliability, the community has previously decided that Xinhua would be a RS regardless of content, unless specifically for contentious issues in China. Jim Sukwutput 22:23, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
Disputed nationality
Some parts of the article state the nationality of the attackers as Palestinian, based on sources which claim the attackers were members of the Popular Resistance Committees. This is a disputed fact, as the PRC denies involvement, and there are verifiable sources showing that: http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?ID=234512&R=R1
I have amended some parts of the article which state Palestinian nationality, based on claims of PRC membership, and it would be good to see more discussion about and critical analysis of sources which make these claims.

Ha'aretz: Rocket attacks on Friday, August 19
Hi. According to this news story from Ha'aretz, eight additional Israelis were killed by rocket attacks coming from Gaza on Friday (Aug. 19). The names mentioned are different from those in the article referring to the Thursday, August 18 victims, except for the Gaz and Karlinskis (yet those four fatalities were mentioned as occurring on the Thursday). Are additional references required to back up the claim of Friday fatalities? Thanks. ~ AH1 (discuss!) 02:22, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Despicable pictures of a DIFFERENT attack
I see Israel is out in full force trying to make itself look like the victim again. Even IF there is a legitimate argument for including the incident Israel claims began their murder of 5 Egyptian soldiers, the pictures have absolutely no place. It is a sub-section of an article unrelated to that sub-section, PICTURES of the cars attacked from a DIFFERENT incident have no place here. It's a clear, deliberate attempt to push a Pro-Israel justification POV. They must be deleted at once. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:50, 12 September 2011 (UTC) Sutter Cane
* Pictures are of the cross-border attack in question. I don't know what other attack you are talking about, you seem to have missed something. Poliocretes (talk) 13:58, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
No, they are not. They are of a seperate incident. Perhaps you should read next time, seeing as that sub-section mentions it in the heading. Explain how a bus being egged relates to this article on Israel's attack on egypt? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:00, 12 September 2011 (UTC) Sutter Cane
* Have you actually READ the article? The incident begun with an attack on Israel, which the photos depict. I will now reinstate the photos, and if you don't like it, feel free to report me. Poliocretes (talk) 14:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Which is ALREADY COVERED. But nice try. Those photos relate in no way to this article. Just as pictures of every person killed being posted relates in no way to this article. If those pictures are in sources then they are represented to required amount. Desperately trying to display photos to garner sympathy for Israel in an article about Israel's attack on Egypt, when Egypt played no part in those bus attacks, is not allowed.
So, again, I point out to you that those pictures are not allowed to be posted. They are POV and POV relating to ANOTHER attack, not this articles head-line. That one incident caused another is already covered. Pointless information regarding the other attack has NO place in an article devoted to the attack on Egypt.
And I say again...present a reason why pictures of cars (which do not display anything in relation to the article other than pitiful shock value) and a BUS THAT HAS BEEN EGGED relate in ANY way to THIS article and incident? Pictures are reinstated and you will be reported if you continue to ignore Wikipedias rules. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:15, 12 September 2011 (UTC) Sutter Cane
* IP user, it is usually recommended to read the article before editing it. Marokwitz (talk) 14:17, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
* IP, Egged is the name of the Israeli national bus company, it's not a bus that has been egged. You're completely out of your depth and better stop. Poliocretes (talk) 14:21, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
* LOL. Marokwitz (talk) 14:25, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Lol at the fact you think a buses company name is a reason for it to be included.
* facepalm*
Pictures of a spood found near the site doesn't need its own picture either. Nor would it be allowed to post pictures of those Egyptians murdered by Israel. The latter being part of the direct subject of this article (Israel's attack that crossed into Egypt) and still not allowed. So no, a sub-section relating to a different incident isn't allowed to include pictures already covered in detail by multiple sources. Try again. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:32, 12 September 2011 (UTC) Sutter Cane
* Please point out the wikipedia policy guidelines that support the above assertions. You seem to be suffering an extreme case of WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT.

Poliocretes (talk) 15:15, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Infobox
I think the infobox to be used should be "Template:Infobox military conflict" as during the latter part of the attack a firefight broke out between the Egyptians and Israelis and several Egyptian soldiers were killed. This was not a simple civilian attack.VR talk 04:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

I removed the following. "organised by the Popular Resistance Committees,"
This is
* (a)denied by spokesmen for those committees in the lead itself. So we have two versions, the IDF's and the PRC's.
* (b) The source for the line makes no such claim (note 2)
* (c) googling rapidly, I see that several sources, one a blog though hosted by Tikkun Olam, assert that the IDF's own enquiry concluded no Gazans were involved.
* Max Blumenthal says this has been disproved.
* IDF Investigation Confirms All Eilat Attackers Were Egyptian, Not Gazan
* Israel's bogus case for bombing Gaza obscures political motives20 March 2012

The last line of the original text showed gloating from whoever put it in. Some evidence of this is the reference of the article for Million-man demonstration being an Egyptian news site, while the other about being only "a few hundred" is an Israeli one.

Inaccuracies
According to the IS-associated media known as "War and Media", ten Islamic State soldiers from Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis carried out this attack disguised as Egyptian police officers. They also say only two of them survived, 7 of them died in the fighting and one died while retreating.
Israeli media also reported that there were three assailants in the attack that shot at the bus and used explosives.
Also, there were many more soldiers killed than just one, for example a sniper and a chief warrant officer.
This page just seems weirdly inaccurate and one sided to me. fix this. Sabibivonabdii (talk) 21:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC) | WIKI |

Air Malta
Air Malta, stylized as airmalta, was a Maltese airline headquartered in Luqa and based at Malta International Airport. It operated services as the country's flag carrier to destinations in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Air Malta ceased operations on 30 March 2024 and was replaced on the next day with a new flag carrier, KM Malta Airlines.
Early years
Shortly after the Second World War, several small private airlines were formed in Malta. Amongst these were The Malta Instone Airline, BAS (Malta) Ltd, and Malta Airlines. In 1947, the former two companies merged to form Air Malta Ltd in fierce competition with the latter. Eventually, in 1951 Malta Airlines absorbed the operations of Air Malta Ltd and continued operating through an agreement with BEA until 1973. The owners of Air Malta Ltd used their real estate, staff, and equipment to set up a ground handling company called MAS, Malta Aviation Services.
In the early 1970s, the Maltese government appointed Albert Mizzi as chairman of the airline and made a call for an international airline partner to help set up an airline and Pakistan's flag carrier PIA was selected for this purpose. The name chosen for the new airline was similar to that of its forerunner, Air Malta Co Ltd, and was established on 31 March 1973. BEA was chartered to continue its Malta operations, thwas time for Air Malta, until Air Malta's first flight on 1 April 1974. The government took over both Malta Airlines and Malta Aviation Services and the private owners were given a shareholding in Air Malta Co. Ltd.
Air Malta started operations, with two wet leased Boeing 720Bs from Pakistan International Airlines that served Rome, Tripoli, London, Manchester, Frankfurt, and Parwas from Malta. It later bought three more Boeing 720Bs and bought the original two.
In 1981, three Boeing 737-200s were wet-leased, which were so successful that in 1983, three new fully owned Boeing 737-200s were delivered. In 1986, Air Malta bought three new Boeing 737-200s, and in 1987 ordered its first Airbus A320. In 1989, Air Malta exercised an option for one more A320, and in 1992, three more Boeing 737-300s were ordered and four Avro RJ70s were ordered for routes to Catania and Palermo, and to new destinations such as Tunis and Monastir.
After the opening of Malta International Airport in 1992, Air Malta created CargoSystems, which includes the transportation of cargo on Air Malta planes. In 1994, Air Malta inaugurated a cargo center at the airport. It was also during this time that a codesharing agreement with Trans World Airlines began.
21st century developments
Between 2002 and 2007, Air Malta embarked upon a fleet replacement programme, opting to change all aircraft to Airbus A319s and A320s. The last aircraft in this order, an A320, was delivered on 22 March 2007, and the fleet has not been replaced since.
Air Malta had around 190 interline ticketing agreements with other IATA airlines. According to the Association of European Airlines quarterly review of May 2006, Air Malta was the airline that lost the least amount of passenger baggage. The amount of baggage lost in the first quarter of 2006 was 4.1 bags massing per 1000 passengers.
In winter, the airline often leases out aircraft to maximize earnings during the low season. In September 2007, for instance, Air Malta made two agreements with Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways by which Air Malta wet-leased 2 Airbus aircraft to Etihad Airways for the winter period starting 1 September 2007, and provided operational support on another Airbus A320 aircraft leased by Etihad Airways. In January and February 2009 Air Malta wet-leased an A320 to Sky Airline of Chile. From 2011 to 2014 Air Malta wet-leased another A320 to Sky Airline.
In 2012 Air Malta underwent a re-branding process, which caused some controversy as the titles on aircraft and signage only say Malta, omitting the word Air. The airline insisted this was not a name change, and the full name of the airline remains Air Malta. Additionally, the titles on the engines still say airmalta.com. The first plane to show off the new colours was the Airbus A320-200 9H-AEN at the Malta International Airshow 2012. On the second and last day of the show the A320 and a Spitfire performed a flypast as the closing act.
As a commemoration of the airline's 40 years of operation, the airline painted one of its aircraft, 9H-AEI, an A320-200, in retro colours, depicting the livery used on the Boeing 720Bs. The 9H-AEI aircraft debuted on April 16, 2014.
In June 2017, the newly appointed Minister for Tourism announced the restructuring of Air Malta. This was also confirmed by the newly appointed chairman. Air Malta then opened a number of new routes, including Tunis, Malaga (reduced to seasonal in 2019), Comiso (terminated after summer 2018), Kiev, Lisbon, Casablanca, Southend (terminated in 2019) and Cagliari (subsequently reduced to June–September only). Manchester and Frankfurt were restarted after being briefly terminated.
In March 2019, the airline announced that it had made a profit of €1.2 million in the fiscal year of 2018. This profit was the first the airline has made in 18 years.
Closure and replacement
In August 2022, the Maltese government announced it would dissolve Air Malta should the European Union deny further financial state aid to the airline. It would then relocate its assets to a succeeding carrier. Shortly after, the decision regarding the airline's future had been delayed to the end of 2022; however, the route network and frequencies saw extensive cuts by October 2022, including the termination of several destinations.
On 18 April 2023, Chairman David Curmi announced that the European Commission declined to give permission to the Maltese government to inject 290 million euros of state aid into the airline. In 2023, Air Malta incorporated its aircraft with a new livery with red and dark red on the back of the plane. This livery would be subsequently used by the new airline. Also, a competitive process was to be launched for the new airline to acquire the tender for the Air Malta branding which is owned by a government owned company, IP Holdings, which was set up by former minister Konrad Mizzi to transfer assets to show that the company earned a profit in 2018.
On 2 October 2023, the Maltese government announced the closure of Air Malta for 30 March 2024, replaced by KM Malta Airlines the following day.

Incidents and accidents
Since its inception in 1973, Air Malta has had no fatal accidents.
* On 31 October 1981, after a Boeing 737-200 landed in Cairo, Egypt, two bombs exploded, injuring four people. A third bomb that failed to detonate was found later.
* On 21 December 1988, Air Malta Flight 180 played an unintentional role when an unaccompanied baggage containing a timed explosive was checked onto the flight out of Luqa Airport to Frankfurt Airport, where it was loaded as interline baggage to the first leg of Pan Am Flight 103 from Frankfurt to London-Heathrow Airport. The bomb in the unaccompanied baggage then exploded on Pan Am 103's transatlantic leg while it was flying over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing a total of 270 people.
* On 9 June 1997, Air Malta Flight 830, a Boeing 737-200, was hijacked by two Turks on a flight from Malta to Istanbul, Turkey. They demanded the release of Mehmet Ali Ağca. The hijack ended in Cologne, Germany, with no casualties amongst the 74 passengers and six crew. | WIKI |

Understanding Design Elements: How to Read a Circuit Board Schematic
Engineers are well-known for their ability to understand and write thorough, exact specifications. When constructing a schematic, for example, precise parameters are crucial. Simply, schematics are diagrams that show how something is put together or built in order to better understand it. This graphical tool for interpreting the behaviour of an electrical circuit is important for PCB electrical and electronics professionals. It’s helpful to understand the purpose of using schematics and the components that make them up in order to appreciate the significance of learning how to read a circuit board schematic.
Circuit Board Schematics and Their Uses
Almost every electrical or electronic system starts with a graphical depiction of the elements or pieces involved, as well as how they are connected. These designs are commonly referred to as plans for electrical systems, which include residential and commercial facilities. Schematics are the terms used by engineers and designers to describe these diagrams. The diagram below is an example of a schematic.
The complexity of a schematic can range from tightly packed components to a single item, such as an antenna. Circuit board schematics are used in the construction of PCBAs as follows:
1. A place where a circuit design concept can be hatched.
Schematics give the designer a blank canvas on which to create an electrical layout that will achieve the design’s goals. Selecting all essential components and defining linkages or nets between them are all part of this process.
2. A blackboard for fine-tuning circuit designs
Creating schematics is a time-consuming procedure that frequently necessitates trial and error to get the best or most helpful design. Finding or having to build the correct component symbol, as well as ensuring that all nets are linked and not overloaded, can be difficult.
3. The proving ground for design functionality.
Another important criterion of the circuit board design is that all performance goals be accomplished. To validate inputs and outputs and evaluate signal integrity, circuit simulation may be required. This is in addition to doing a design rule check (DRC) on a regular basis to guarantee there are no design flaws.
4. The PCB layout design source
The schematic offers the structure and basic layout of the board in PCB design software programmes. This comprises component footprints, board dimensions, and ratlines-temporary lines that demonstrate connections between board pieces and are used for auto-tracing and PCB layout design assistance.
It’s crucial to understand not just how your circuit board schematic is utilised, but also what design components are included in it.
The Design Elements of A PCB Schematic
The construction of a PCBA graphic begins with the schematic and concludes with the PCB layout, just as it does with the manufacture and assembly of a PCBA. As a result, a circuit board schematic may be viewed as a first draught or a board layout. Drill holes and vias, for example, are not displayed on the schematic, despite their being on the layout. Schematics, on the other hand, include the following elements:
• Symbols for components:
The components are the most significant aspect of any circuit design; it’s critical to utilise the right part library for each since this is where the landing pattern or PCB footprint, as well as other information for the BOM, comes from.
• Reference designators:
The reference designator, which indicates the element-most commonly component-type, is another significant feature seen on schematics. These are also quite useful for PCB designing.
• Nets:
The schematic should also include all of the linkages or nets required for circuit functioning. Omissions here will have an influence on how well or how well your board functions.
• Annotations:
It’s a good idea to add any significant textual information, such as modifications that have been implemented, because schematics may need to be read by others (for example, your manufacturer) or at a later time.
It is impossible to overestimate the relevance of schematics in the creation of electrical circuit boards and products. However, making the most of these images necessitates a thorough understanding of how to interpret a circuit board schematic.
How to Understand a Circuit Board Schematic
The ability to read and interpret PCB diagrams is critical throughout the PCBA development process, which includes design, manufacturing, and testing. Knowing how to interpret a circuit board schematic successfully is the first step. This may be accomplished by following the steps outlined below.
How to Effectively Read a Circuit Board Schematic
• Understand the schematic’s purpose and application.
• You must be able to recognise the design aspects.
• Be able to verify the accuracy of the schematic.
A schematic is only as good as the accuracy with which it is created. Using a schematic haven, where the information is full and validated, is one of the greatest methods to assure that you get a correct schematic.
Extron Design assists you by combining all of your sourcing and CAD knowledge in one location, whether you’re seeking for CAD models for popular components or design suggestions, such as how to interpret a circuit board schematic successfully.

James W. McCulloh
James W. McCulloh (1789–1861) was an American politician from Baltimore. He is known for being a party in the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), which held that Congress has implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause, and its valid exercise of those powers are supreme over the states. The case refers to him as "McCulloch" because the court clerk misspelled his name.
Early life
McCulloh and partner Soloman Birkhead were in business in Baltimore as early as 1799 operating McCulloh & Birkhead. McCulloh later worked for the George Williams Counting House, part of the Second Bank of the United States, as a cashier who was twice indicted for conspiracy.
James W. McCulloch bought land that was part of the 5000-acre "Taylor's Forest" surveyed in 1678. He built a stone farmhouse on his 511-acre site between 1818 and 1825 for himself. After defending several charges of conspiracy, the property was sold to John Lewis Buchanan in 1825 and again in 1825 to his partner's son Dr. Lennox Birkhead. The estate named Hilton is now in use by Community College of Baltimore County.
McCulloh served as Comptroller of the US Treasury from 1842 to 1849. | WIKI |

Abstract
For a fixed graph H, let H-CON denote the problem of determining whether a given graph is contractible to H. The complexity of H-CON is studied for H belonging to certain classes of graphs, together covering all connected graphs of order at most 4. In particular, H-CON is NP-complete if H is a connected triangle-free graph other than a star. For each connected graph H of order at most 4 other than P4 and C4, H-CON is solvable in polynomial time.

OTT Explains – What is Enhanced Protected Mode in IE 10?
OTT Explains – What is Enhanced Protected Mode in IE 10?
With every release of Windows, there are also a slew of new security features to fix the problems with the previous versions of Windows! That’s why User Account Control was included in Windows Vista and 7 to fix problems with Windows XP. Every release of Internet Explorer has had some kind of security update included with it. In IE 7, Protected Mode was introduced to prevent malicious code running in IE from modifying or accessing system settings or personal files. In IE 9, the SmartScreen Filter was introduced to prevent socially-engineered attacks. IE 10 is no different!
Enhanced Protected Mode is a new feature in Internet Explorer 10 that basically adds on more features to Protected Mode. Before we get into details, here’s a quick overview of the main additions included in Enhanced Protected Mode in IE 10:
64-bit processes – When EPM is enabled in IE 10, all processes will be running as 64-bit processes. There are some memory protection features in IE 10 that can utilize the larger 64-bit address space more effectively, thereby making the system more secure.
Protecting personal information – With EPM, IE 10 is restricted from accessing personal information in locations like Documents, etc. For example, when you attach a file to an email in IE 10 with EPM enabled, IE will only be able to access the file temporarily when you click the Open button in the file upload dialog. That is not the case without EPM.
Protecting Intranets – A few more changes in IE 10 now prevent IE tab processes from accessing domain credentials, prevent tabs from operating as local web servers and prevents tabs from connecting to intranet servers.
ie 10
In Windows 8, there are two versions of Internet Explorer 10: Metro style IE and desktop IE. These are two completely different beasts! To get started, Metro IE always runs with Enhanced Protected Mode enabled. Desktop IE does not have EPM enabled by default. Why is this exactly? I explain below.
How Enhanced Protected Mode works in IE
In order to understand how EPM really works, you need to understand the architecture behind IE 10. IE 10 has what is called multi-process architecture. Basically, this means that there are tiers. The first tier of processes are the Frame or Manager processes. This is your IE 10 window. Within that window, you have tabs or content processes. Every single web page rendered in IE 10 is done so in one of the tab or content processes. In addition, all ActiveX controls and toolbars also run in tab or content processes.
In Windows 8 with both versions of IE, the frame or manager processes ALWAYS run as 64-bit processes. In the Metro version of IE 10, the content or tab processes also run as 64-bit processes. However, in the desktop version of IE 10, the content or tab processes run as 32-bit processes. Why is this you ask? Why does the desktop version of IE 10 have a manager process running in 64-bit, but the tabs all running in 32-bit?
This is because there are very few plugins or add-ons that support 64-bit at this time. This is why Metro IE does not support any plugins or toolbars whatsoever. If you want to install a toolbar or run a certain plugin, you’ll have to switch to the desktop version. Since all the tabs are running as 32-bit processes, everything is compatible and you can install add-ons and plugins without a problem.
If you enable Enhanced Protected mode in the desktop version of IE 10, all webpages that load in the Internet Zone or Restricted Zone will start using 64-bit processes. Note that the other zones will still use 64-bit processes, but they won’t have EPM enabled. In addition to the benefit of 64-bit processes, the second benefit to enabling EPM is that the tab or content processes are “sandboxed” in an AppContainer. What the heck is an AppContainer?
AppContainers in IE 10
Starting in Windows Vista, there was the addition of integrity levels assigned to processes (low, medium, high). The levels determined what parts of the system and registry the process could access. Even though an IE tab runs in a Low integrity level, it still had read access to the entire disk in previous versions of Windows and IE. With Windows 8 and AppContainer, IE is blocked from reading and writing to most of the system.
Note that the AppContainer is only a feature of Windows 8. That means when IE 10 comes out for Windows 7, it will only enable 64-bit tab processes to run if EPM is enabled. This also means that EPM does absolutely nothing on a Windows 7 32-bit system because a 32-bit system cannot support 64-bit tabs or AppContainer.
With Metro IE 10, all tabs run in 64-bit and with EPM enabled, meaning that they run inside AppContainer. For desktop IE 10, the tabs run in 32-bit low integrity mode by default and therefore do not run in AppContainer. To get the extra security, you have to enable EPM in desktop mode, which would switch the tabs to 64-bit processes and enable AppContainer.
Also, it’s worth noting that all Windows Store apps (Metro apps) run inside this AppContainer object.
Benefits of AppContainer
So what’s so great about the AppContainer? There are basically three key benefits to using AppContainer in IE 10:
1. Inbound Connections Blocked – The first network restriction is that an EPM tab cannot accept inbound network connections. Some add-ons have this ability to accept remote connections, which could allow someone to remotely connect and access your system. This is no longer possible with EPM.
2. Loopback Blocked – A tab running inside AppContainer cannot connect to a locally running service outside of their own container. This means that if you have a local IIS server running on your machine, you actually won’t be able to connect to it from inside a EPM tab. If you try to go to http://127.0.0.1 from an IE 10 tab with EPM enabled, you’ll get a This page can’t be displayed error.
enhance protected mode
Remember, though, that EPM only works on tabs that are in the Internet and Restricted Sites zones like I mentioned above. http://127.0.0.1 is considered an Internet zone URL and that’s why it’s blocked. However, if you were to type the hostname like http://localhost, it would be considered a Local Intranet Zone url and therefore not be blocked.
3. Intranet Resources Blocked – Lastly, this restrictions prevents Internet pages from accessing intranet resources, serving up images from intranet resources, etc. This feature adds so much security that you will actually be blocked from going to a router address like http://192.168.1.254 using an EPM tab. This is because browsers consider that address an Internet Zone address and EPM kicks in. You have to add the URL to your Trusted Sites zone (which does not have EPM enabled) and then you’ll be able to load it.
I tried this on my home computer and it was blocked, but got a message saying Private network access is off for this site. I was given the option to enable it and then I was able to view the URL:
Windows 8 private network
It’s nice that you get this message with the option to enable rather than a Page cannot be displayed error. As you can see, enabling EPM really makes IE 10 a lot more secure. Obviously, you have to see your usage of add-ons to determine whether you can enable it for the desktop version of IE.
What’s nice about EPM is that even if you have it enabled on the desktop version of IE 10 and you run into a site that requires ActiveX control that is not EPM-compatible, you’ll be given the option to re-load the page in a special low integrity 32-bit tab instead of the normal 64-bit tab running in AppContainer. Any add-ons that are not EPM-compatible will be disabled.
Enabling Enhance Protected Mode in Desktop IE 10
Lastly, I just want to mention how you would actually turn on EPM in desktop IE 10 if you want to. Click on the gear icon at the top right, then Internet Options, Advanced tab and scroll down under Security.
enable enhanced protected mode
Conclusion
That’s a lot of technical detail to handle, but hopefully it gives you an idea about what that setting really means. You’ll probably see a bunch of online guide showing you how to enable or disable Enhanced Protected Mode, but you should really also understand what it does and how it works in both version of IE in Windows 8. If you have any questions, feel free to post a comment. Enjoy!

I am trying to generate a query in APEX related to the Opportunity and Contact objects. I want to select Opportunities based on the info contained in the FirstName field of the linked Contact.
In SQL I would join the tables and then select but in SOQL we use sub-queries. I tried to pattern mine off the answer to this question which successfully used sub-queries but I don't yet get the 'SOQL' way.
My most current failing query is:
SELECT
Name,
(SELECT
FirstName
FROM
Contact)
FROM
Opportunity
WHERE
FirstName IN (SELECT FirstName FROM Contact WHERE FirstName = 'Jane')
Any ideas?
• 1
How do you link Opportunity and Contact, since there is no standard lookup between the two objects? – DavidSchach Apr 17 '14 at 22:08
• @DavidSchach Didn't know there wasn't a standard lookup. Also didn't realize it was the AccountId. I'm a rookie at Salesforce dev still. Thanks. – Joshua Dance Apr 17 '14 at 22:38

The idea here is that you are first selecting all Contacts with FirstName of Jane here SELECT OpportunityId from Contact WHERE FirstName = 'Jane' and pulling the OpportunityId for each of those records... You then feed that into a typical Opportunity query where the Opportunity.AccountId = the Contact.AccountId list you just created with the sub-query above...
SELECT
Id
FROM
Opportunity
WHERE
AccountId IN (SELECT AccountId from Contact WHERE FirstName = 'Jane')
• Makes sense but OpportunityId is not a column on Contact. 'INVALID_FIELD: SELECT OpportunityId from Contact WHERE ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:8 No such column 'OpportunityId' on entity 'Contact'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.' Do I need to make a custom field? – Joshua Dance Apr 17 '14 at 21:40
• 1
My fault for moving too fast, I changed the WHERE clause to look at AccountId instead :) – Nathan Williams Apr 17 '14 at 21:45
2
A few points:
1. Subqueries can only pull Id fields (such as Id, AccountId, etc)
2. Contact and Opportunity do not relate, but if you have a field on Opportunity called Contact__c, then the related list on Contact is probably called Opportunities__r. A field on Contact called Opportunity__c would have a related list called Contacts__r.
3. Given your comment on @Nathan Williams' answer, have you not created any custom fields? If so, you will need to relate the two objects.
If you did put a Contact__c field on Opportunity, then the query could be (using a fuzzy match instead of an exact match):
[SELECT Id FROM Opportunity WHERE Contact__c IN (SELECT Id FROM Contact WHERE FirstName LIKE 'Jane%')]
If you put an Opportunity__c field on Contact (giving a reciprocal Contacts__r related list), then the query would be:
[SELECT Id FROM Opportunity WHERE Id IN (SELECT Opportunity__c FROM Contacts__r WHERE FirstName = 'Jane')]
• 1
... your second query would actually bring back every Opp, but each opp would only show the contacts where the first name = Jane... not sure that's exactly what he'd want... your second example should be SELECT Id FROM Opportunity WHERE Id IN (SELECT Opportunity__c FROM Contacts__r WHERE FirstName = 'Jane') right? – Nathan Williams Apr 17 '14 at 22:27
• 2
Good catch! Updating... – DavidSchach Apr 17 '14 at 22:32
• 1
Josh, either David's approach or mine will work just fine. I've tested mine out in dev console and it works fine, but you won't be able to get a list of the contacts as part of your query (you'll only be able to do that in @david's queries since they are directly related)... You've got three great options here! – Nathan Williams Apr 17 '14 at 22:36
• Thanks! Both work great. Wish I could take em all as best answer. – Joshua Dance Apr 17 '14 at 23:00

Daniel Castine
Daniel Phillip Castine (born May 30, 1997) is an American actor. He is known for several short films and commercials he has been in, as well as some shows. He is most known for his role as Toby, in the show Inner Dimension.

Early Life
Born in Denver, Colorado, Daniel grew up in Green Valley Ranch, the son of a T.V producer and Police officer. As a child he spent most of his time playing video games with friends, or playing outside. He attended Green Valley Ranch Elementary until second grade. Spending most of his time with friends, it wasn't until he moved to Parker, Colorado and met Cassandra Perkins that he became interested in acting. He remained in Parker from 2004 to present. He graduated from Legend High school in 2015 and is attending Metropolitan State University in Denver, Colorado. In pursuit of a degree in Theatre and Physics.
Major Life Events
Often asked what shaped his life to be the way it is today, he recalls three major events. Meeting Ana Sofia Robb, meeting Nick Duhon, and the death of his grand-father.
Meeting Anna Sofia Robb
In 2004, Daniel meet Cassandra and instantly became friends with her. Being her next door nieghbor, they did everything together. From playing in the gulch behind their houses to going to movies and holiday parties. In 2007 when the movie Bridge to Terabithia came out, Cassandra Daniel went to see it, and then they meet Ana Sofia Robb, who played Leslie in BTT. After meeting her, he decided he wanted to be an actor. Thus marking the beginning of Daniel's dream to be an actor.
Meeting Nick Duhon
In 2011, Daniel was in 8th grade at Cimmarron Middle school, his best friend at the time was Zach Erhardt. Zach and Daniel liked to Skateboard and had meet a young man named Nick Duhon at the skate park over the summer. Being in the same grade, at the same school, Daniel, Zach, and Nick started to hang out a lot. Soon after, Zach started hanging out with other people. Nick and Daniel became best friends and remain so today. However, Nick was not the best role model and having lived a hard life so far, he had some bad habits. Such as smoking and dipping. Daniel took up those bad habits and he and Nick got in all kinds of trouble together. After being suspended twice throughout high school and seeing his best friend get expelled, Daniel decided to kick his bad habits and hopefully change Nicks too. Being Friends with Nick taught Daniel many lessons in life and to this day they remain best friends. Daniel has said numerous times that his friends mean the world to him and although they can be bad to hang out with sometimes. "You don't give up on friends.".
The Death of Grand-Pa
In 2012, on December 16, Daniel's Grandfather died. Having lived with him his whole life, this was a huge impact on him. He felt alone, like the world had turned on him. In a passage he wrote in college, he stated " I left without a word, and I ran, I ran and I ran, I called my best friend and told him what had happened, then I sat and wept. December 16, 2012 the day I lost my friend, the day I lost my papa. We cremated him, he always said he wanted to live long enough to see Colorado’s spring one last time, so we buried his ashes in may. Right before my birthday."

NATO missile defense system
The NATO missile defense system is a missile defense system being constructed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in several member states and around the Mediterranean Sea. Plans for this system have changed several times since first studied in 2002, including as a response to Russian opposition.
Background
A missile defense feasibility study was launched in May 2001. The NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) and NATO's Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD) were also involved in negotiations. The study concluded that missile defense is technically feasible, and it provided a technical basis for ongoing political and military discussions regarding the desirability of a NATO missile defense system. The United States negotiated with Poland and the Czech Republic over the course of several years after on the deployment of interceptor missiles and a radar tracking system in the two countries. Both countries' governments indicated that they would allow the deployment.
In April 2007, NATO's European allies called for a NATO missile defense system which would complement the American national missile defense system to protect Europe from missile attacks and NATO's decision-making North Atlantic Council held consultations on missile defense in the first meeting on the topic at such a senior level. In response, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin claimed that such a deployment could lead to a new arms race and could enhance the likelihood of mutual destruction. He also suggested that his country would freeze its compliance with the 1990 Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE)—which limits military deployments across the continent—until all NATO countries had ratified the adapted CFE treaty. Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer claimed the system would not affect strategic balance or threaten Russia, as the plan is to base only ten interceptor missiles in Poland with an associated radar in the Czech Republic.
On 14 July 2007, Russia gave notice of its intention to suspend the CFE treaty, effective 150 days later. On 14 August 2008, the United States and Poland came to an agreement to place a base with ten interceptor missiles with associated MIM-104 Patriot air defense systems in Poland. This came at a time when tension was high between Russia and most of NATO and resulted in a nuclear threat on Poland by Russia if the building of the missile defenses went ahead. On 20 August 2008 the United States and Poland signed the agreement, while Russia sent word to Norway that it was suspending ties with NATO.
During the 2008 Bucharest Summit, the alliance further discussed the technical details as well as the political and military implications of the proposed elements of the US missile defense system in Europe. Allied leaders recognized that the planned deployment of European-based US missile defense assets would help protect many Allies, and agreed that this capability should be an integral part of any future NATO-wide missile defense architecture. In August 2008, Poland and the United States signed a preliminary deal to place part of the missile defense shield in Poland that would be linked to air-defense radar in the Czech Republic. More than 130,000 Czechs signed a petition for a referendum on the base.
On 20 March 2015, Russia's ambassador to Denmark wrote a letter to the editor of Jyllands-Posten warning the Danes that their participation in this merge of assets would make their warships targets of Russian nuclear missiles. Denmark's former Minister for Foreign Affairs Holger K. Nielsen commented that if there's a war, Danish warships will be targets in any case.
Active Layered Theater Ballistic Missile Defense
On 17 September 2009, U.S. President Barack Obama announced that the planned deployment of long-range missile defense interceptors and equipment in Poland and the Czech Republic was not to go forward, and that a defense against short- and medium-range missiles using Aegis warships would be deployed instead. Following the change in plans, Russian President Dimitri Medvedev announced that a proposed Russian Iskander surface to surface missile deployment in nearby Kaliningrad would also not go ahead. The two deployment cancellation announcements were later followed with a statement by newly named NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen calling for a strategic partnership between Russia and the Alliance, explicitly involving technological cooperation of the two parties' missile defense systems.
According to a September 2009 White House Factsheet entitled "Fact Sheet on U.S. Missile Defense Policy - A "Phased, Adaptive Approach" for Missile Defense in Europe" contains the following four phases:
* Phase One (in the 2011 timeframe) – Deploy current and proven missile defense systems available in the next two years, including the sea-based Aegis Weapon System, the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptor (Block IA), and sensors such as the forward-based Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance system (AN/TPY-2), to address regional ballistic missile threats to Europe and our deployed personnel and their families;
* Phase Two (in the 2015 timeframe) – After appropriate testing, deploy a more capable version of the SM-3 interceptor (Block IB) in both sea- and land-based configurations, and more advanced sensors, to expand the defended area against short- and medium-range missile threats;
* Phase Three (in the 2018 timeframe) – After development and testing are complete, deploy the more advanced SM-3 Block IIA variant under development, to counter short-, medium-, and intermediate-range missile threats; and
* Phase Four (in the 2020 timeframe) – After development and testing are complete, deploy the SM-3 Block IIB to help better cope with medium- and intermediate-range missiles and the potential future ICBM threat to the United States.
The deployment of warships equipped with the Aegis RIM-161 SM-3 missile began after Obama's speech in September 2009. These missiles complement the Patriot missile systems already deployed by American units. Though initially supportive of the plan, once USS Monterey (CG-61) was actually deployed to the Black Sea, the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement voicing concern about the deployment.
On 4 February 2010, Romania agreed to host the SM-3 missiles starting in 2015 at Deveselu. The first element of this revised system, the early warning radar station in Kürecik, Malatya, Turkey, went operational in 2012. The BMD component in Romania was undergoing an upgrade in May 2019; in the interim a THAAD unit, B Battery (THAAD), 62nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, was emplaced in NSF Deveselu, Romania; the upgrade was completed August 9, 2019 and the THAAD battery has returned to its home station. Other parts of the missile defense system are planned to be built in Portugal, Poland, Romania and Spain. In September 2011, NATO invited India to be a partner in its ballistic missile defense system. V. K. Saraswat, the architect of Indian Ballistic Missile Defense Program, subsequently told the press, "We are analysing the report. It is under consideration."
Also in September 2011, the White House released a Factsheet that reports on the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). With respect to EPAA's implementation as part of the NATO missile defense in Europe the factsheet notes the four phases outlined above:
* Phase One (2011 timeframe) will address short- and medium-range ballistic missile threats by deploying current and proven missile defense systems. It calls for the deployment of Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD)-capable ships equipped with proven SM-3 Block IA interceptors. In March of this year the USS Monterey was the first in a sustained rotation of ships to deploy to the Mediterranean Sea in support of EPAA. Phase One also calls for deploying a land-based early warning radar, which Turkey agreed to host as part of the NATO missile defense plan.
* Phase Two (2015 timeframe) will expand coverage against short- and medium-range threats with the fielding of a land-based SM-3 missile defense interceptor site in Romania and the deployment of a more capable SM-3 interceptor (the Block IB). On September 13, the United States and Romania signed the U.S.-Romanian Ballistic Missile Defense Agreement. Once ratified, it will allow the United States to build, maintain, and operate the land-based BMD site in Romania. The missile defense system in Deveselu became operational on 18 December 2015.
* Phase Three (2018 timeframe) will improve coverage against medium- and intermediate-range missile threats with an additional land-based SM-3 site in Poland and the deployment of a more advanced SM-3 interceptor (the Block IIA). Poland agreed to host the interceptor site in October 2009, and today, with the Polish ratification process complete, this agreement has entered into force.
* Phase Four (2020 timeframe) will enhance the ability to counter medium- and intermediate-range missiles and potential future inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM) threats to the United States from the Middle East, through the deployment of the SM-3 Block IIB interceptor. Each phase will include upgrades to the missile defense command and control system.
During its 2012 Chicago Summit NATO leaders declared that the NATO missile defense system has reached interim capability. Interim capability means that a basic command and control capability has been tested and installed at NATOs Headquarters Allied Air Command in Ramstein, Germany, while NATO Allies provide sensors and interceptors to connect to the system. It also means that US ships with anti-missile interceptors in the Mediterranean Sea and a Turkey-based radar system have been put under NATO command in the German base. "Our system will link together missile defense assets from different Allies – satellites, ships, radars and interceptors – under NATO command and control. It will allow us to defend against threats from outside the Euro-Atlantic area," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
NATO long-term goal is to merge missile defense assets provided by individual Allies into a coherent defense system so that full coverage and protection for all NATO European populations, territory and forces against the threats posed by proliferation of ballistic missiles is ensured. This goal is expected to be released sometime between the end of the 2010s and the beginning of the 2020s. To this end Spain will host four US Aegis warships at its port in Rota while Poland and Romania have agreed to host US land-based SM-3 missiles in the coming years. According to a State Department official Frank A. Rose, the United States has "offered EPAA assets to the Alliance" as an "interim BMD capability", including the AN/TPY-2 radar deployed in Turkey, which is "under NATO operational control". Rose also said that "In addition, U.S. BMD-capable Aegis ships in Europe are also now able to operate under NATO operational control when threat conditions warrant."
In 2020, the Aegis Ashore site in Poland had not yet been completed, due to incomplete auxiliary controls for heating, power, and cooling. Missile Defense Agency's Vice Admiral Jon Hill was to announce in February 2020 whether another contractor would be required. By 2018 the Aegis SM-3 Block IB missiles were already on-site in Poland; the Aegis Ashore Ballistic Missile Defense System in Romania is operational. Naval Support Facility-Redzikowo is to be declared operational on Friday, 15 December 2023, according to the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk.
A 2012 GAO report found that the phase four interceptors may be poorly placed and of the wrong type to defend the United States. This capability was planned to be in place by 2020, but this has "been delayed to at least 2022 due to cuts in congressional funding."
Some Republicans including Mitt Romney, Dick Cheney and John McCain have called Obama's changes from the system Bush proposed a "gift" to Vladimir Putin, but Gates wrote in Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War that the change was made to ensure a more effective defense for Europe.

2008 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina
The United States House of Representative elections of 2008 in North Carolina were held on November 4, 2008, as part of the biennial election to the United States House of Representatives. All thirteen seats in North Carolina, and 435 nationwide, were elected to the 111th United States Congress. The party primary elections were held on May 6, 2008.
Carried on the coattails of Barack Obama winning the state in the presidential election, the Democrats added one seat to their seven won in 2006. The Republican Party won the other five. In the 8th district, Democrat Larry Kissell defeated incumbent Robin Hayes. All other incumbents won re-election. The Republicans' hold on the 10th district had been thought to be at risk by CQ Politics, but Republican Patrick McHenry won re-election. The Democrats increased their total vote share by 1.5% statewide, and 2.5% if excluding the 1st, which the Republicans didn't contest in 2006.
It is not to be confused with the election to the North Carolina House of Representatives, which was held on the same day.
District 1
This district, located in the northeastern portion of the state, is represented by Democrat G. K. Butterfield, who first won it in a 2004 special election. It is the only majority-black district in the state, and is overwhelmingly Democratic (Cook Partisan Voting Index of D+9). It is one of the few districts in the former Confederacy that has not elected a Republican since the end of Reconstruction. Butterfield was opposed by Republican William A. "Dean" Stephens. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Safe Democrat'.

District 2
This district includes several suburban and rural areas near Raleigh, Rocky Mount and Fayetteville. It has been represented by Democrat Bob Etheridge since 1997. The district is a swing district on paper (CPVI of R+3); it narrowly supported Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996, and gave equally narrow margins to George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004. However, Etheridge is very popular in this area. In 2008, he faced his 2006 opponent, Republican Dan Mansell, and Libertarian Will Adkins. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Safe Democrat'.

District 3
This district stretches along the northeastern and east-central portions of the state, including the Outer Banks. It has been represented by Republican Walter B. Jones Jr. since 1995. Although Democrats have a 14-point plurality of registered voters, Jones had long been thought to have an unbreakable hold on this district. Much of this area had been part of the 1st prior to 1993, and Jones's father, popular 14-term Democrat Walter B. Jones Sr., is still an icon in this region. However, Jones's voting record has shifted increasingly to the center for some time, and he has become one of the most vocal Republican opponents of the Iraq War. This has caused considerable chagrin among Republicans in his district. Onslow County Commissioner Joe McLaughlin announced in mid-2007 that he would challenge Jones in the Republican primary. Jones defeated McLaughlin in the May 6 primary, with about 60 percent of the vote. 2006 Democratic nominee Craig Weber won his party's primary over Marshall Adame, carrying about 70 percent of the vote. The district has a CPVI of R+15—a three-way statistical tie for the most Republican district in the state, making it a very difficult pickup for Democrats on paper. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Safe Republican'.

District 4
This district includes the heart of the Triangle area, including part of Raleigh and all of Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It has been represented by Democrat David Price since 1997 (he previously represented the 4th from 1987 to 1995). Despite a CPVI of only D+5, the influence of the state's three major research universities plus Price's status as an Appropriations subcommittee chairman (or "Cardinal") make Price a heavy favorite. Two Republicans competed in a May primary for the right to face Price: Augustus Cho and William (B.J.) Lawson. Lawson won, with about 70 percent of the vote. Libertarian Maximillian Longley also ran in the general election. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Safe Democrat'.

District 8
Democratic nominee Larry Kissell won against incumbent Robin Hayes, reversing the result from 2006 when Kissell came up only 329 votes short of upsetting Hayes. Libertarian Thomas Hill also ran. CQ Politics rated it as 'No Clear Favorite', The Rothenberg Political Report as 'Toss-Up/Tilt Democratic', and The Cook Political Report as 'Republican Toss Up'

Ross Overby and Harry Taylor ran in the Democratic primary, and incumbent Sue Myrick faced opposition from Jack Stratton in the Republican primary. Taylor defeated Overby, with about 58 percent of the vote, while Myrick easily won re-nomination with 92 percent of the vote. Libertarian Andy Grum also ran in the general election. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Safe Republican'.

District 10
Republican incumbent Patrick McHenry defeated Democratic nominee Daniel Johnson, but the margin of victory was McHenry's smallest to date. Johnson defeated Steve Ivester in the May 6 Democratic primary, with about 60 percent of the vote. McHenry won the Republican primary, garnering about 67 percent of the vote in a race against attorney Lance Sigmon. CQ Politics forecasted the race as 'Republican Favored', while Cook Political Report ranked it as 'Likely Republican'.

Riemannian circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A great circle divides the sphere in two equal hemispheres
In metric space theory and Riemannian geometry, the Riemannian circle (named after Bernhard Riemann) is a great circle equipped with its great-circle distance. In more detail, the term refers to the circle equipped with its intrinsic Riemannian metric of a compact 1-dimensional manifold of total length 2π, as opposed to the extrinsic metric obtained by restriction of the Euclidean metric to the unit circle in the plane. Thus, the distance between a pair of points is defined to be the length of the shorter of the two arcs into which the circle is partitioned by the two points.
Properties[edit]
The diameter of the Riemannian circle is π, in contrast with the usual value of 2 for the Euclidean diameter of the unit circle.
The inclusion of the Riemannian circle as the equator (or any great circle) of the 2-sphere of constant Gaussian curvature +1, is an isometric imbedding in the sense of metric spaces (there is no isometric imbedding of the Riemannian circle in Hilbert space in this sense).
Gromov's filling conjecture[edit]
A long-standing open problem, posed by Mikhail Gromov, concerns the calculation of the filling area of the Riemannian circle. The filling area is conjectured to be 2π, a value attained by the hemisphere of constant Gaussian curvature +1.

Addison Disease Index
Featured: Addison's Disease Main Article
Addison disease is a hormonal (endocrine) disorder involving destruction of the adrenal glands (small glands adjacent to the kidneys). Diseased glands can no longer produce sufficient adrenal hormones (specifically cortisol) necessary for normal daily body functions. Symptoms include weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin. Treatment of Addison disease involves replacing, or substituting, the hormones that the adrenal glands are not making.

Functional Lenses: an exploration in Swift
The context
The last feature I have implemented on the NowTV app is a cache that stores a complex data structure, basically a subset of a JSON response containing multiple and nested models.
This JSON is in translated in something like
Lately I’m studying the theory behind the Functional Programming and I was wondering how to access/update data stored in the cache in a functional way. Thanks to manub I ended up in Lenses and even though I’m not expert at all about FP, the aim of this post is just to share what I learned, from a lens newbie perspective 🙂
Functional Lenses
As we know, in the real world, a Lens is a tool to focus into a part of an image, used alone or in combination with other Lenses (i.e. think to a telescope).
In FP, a Lens is a first-class value that let you having a partial view (just referred as view V) on the internal part of a complex data structure (container C) and it could be combined with other Lenses to create more complex queries over the container.
Basically a Lens is a functional and composable getter/setter over a complex data structure.
Lenses have been called “jQuery for data types“: they give you a way to poke around in the guts of some large aggregate structure. Lenses compose (so you can make big lenses by gluing together little ones), and they exploit type classes to allow a remarkable degree of flexibility (get, set, fold, traverse, etc). (*)
A Lens on a data type [C, V] is made up by:
get(V): C => V
set(V, C): [V, C] => C
The meaning of these two functions is that you can query on the container C to get a view V and when you set a new value for a particular V in C, you get an updated copy of C (this is one of the FP core concepts: immutability).
Every Lens<C, V> should satisfy these three rules:
1. Lens.get(Lens.set(Va, C)) == Va
2. Lens.set(Lens.get(Va), C) == C
3. Lens.set(Vb, Lens.set(Va, C)) == Lens.set(Vb, C)
1. set a value followed by a get always returns the value previously set;
2. getting a view from the container and setting it again returns the same container;
3. applying N consecutive set functions on C is equal to set the last value on the initial C;
In this way we have at least a baseline to develop our Lenses without side effects.
Swift implementation
What we want to implement is a data structure that implements the get/set previously defined as
get(V): C => V
set(V, C): [V, C] => C
That is easily translated in the following struct:
get and set are two computed properties that precisely define our functions.
Now let’s implement one Lens to expose actors name and one Lens to focus on actors included in a movie:
What should look clear from the two extensions just implemented is that the getter focus on a specific field in a really expressive way (i.e. Actor.Lenses.name) and that the setter always return a copy of the data structure.
The Lenses are the used in the following way:
This implementation satisfies two of three rules previously described:
1. set a value followed by a get always returns the value previously set;
let actor01 = Actor(name: "Ennio", surname: "Masi")
Actor.Lenses.name.get(Actor.Lenses.name.set(actor01, “Pippo Foo”)) // → Pippo Foo
2. getting a value and setting it again returns the set value itself;
let actor01 = Actor(name: "Ennio", surname: "Masi")
Actor.Lenses.name.set(Actor.Lenses.name.get(a), a).name
// → “Ennio”
3. applying N consecutive set functions on C is equal to set the last value on the initial C;
For this latest criteria we need another function within the Lens: compose.
The idea behind a compose function is that apply Lens(A, B) & Lens (B, C) is equal to apply Lens (A, C).
get(A, B) => get(B, C) = get(A, C)
set(A, B) => set(B, C) = set(A, C)
Compose operator
Let’s create the compose operator as an infix swift operator:
This could look weird but basically we have implemented two functions:
get<A, B, C>((A,B), (B,C)) = get(get(A,B))
1. get(A, B) → B
2. get(get(A, B)) → C
In this way we are going to create a pipe of operations using two Lenses and we can use it in the following way:
Through the Lens updatedMovie we have been able to update the actor surname (1 level deep) with a single call, nice no? 🙂
Conclusion
Probably what I’ve explained in this article just cover a minimal part of the theories about Lenses but I hope that I’ve been clear explaining the abstraction provided by them.
The brilliant idea is to create a toolkit to focus on a (or more than one) part of a larger data structure, providing an elegant way to query over this structure using the algebra for compose these Lenses.
The cons about Lenses in Swift is definitely the boilerplate code related to Lenses implementation.
As I told you at the beginning of the article, this is just a primer about the amazing Lenses, for sure the next steps will be to investigate Fold and Traversal.

Hi,
I'm trying to use httprl for a single GET against a webservice that sometimes hangs while servicing the request. I'm setting a timeout of 5 seconds. The server times out after 60 seconds naturally.
The call looks like:
httprl_request($url, array('timeout' => 5, 'blocking' => true));
$res = httprl_send_request();
The problem is that the timeout doesn't seem to apply to the time waiting for the server to turn the request around. What seems to be happening is that the write stream is closed on the first loop, since there's nothing for it to write. This sets $stream_write_count back to 0. On the next (and subsequent) loops, stream_select() returns immediately (with value 1), having emptied $read but with the stream still in $write. Because the code that checks the timeout only runs if there's something in $read or $stream_write_count > 0, neither of which are matching in this case, nothing seems to be decrementing or checking the timeout, and the loop is spinning empty until the server gives up.
I'm not too hot on how this all works, but to me I think the problem is that on a blocking request, the socket is not closed after writing, and so stream_select() continues to think it's changing? I imagine the desired behaviour would be for stream_select() to block until $read has data available, but even if it doesn't, it would still timeout with $read empty, and so the timeout wouldn't be checked. Maybe the timeout check needs to be moved into the main loop, not inside the read/write code?
The request eventually times out after 60 seconds, when the server gives up and writes a 500. The timeout then finally kicks in because there's something to read, and instead of returning the 500, I get the HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT:
object(stdClass)#150 (8) {
["url"]=>
string(157) "[removed]"
["request"]=>
string(370) "GET /api/find.json?private_api_key=[removed]&address_line_1=______dsdastfsdr__dsdfswf__3__%29_____&type=All HTTP/1.0
Host: [removed]
User-Agent: Drupal (+http://drupal.org/)
Connection: close"
["status"]=>
string(5) "Done."
["data"]=>
string(0) ""
["options"]=>
array(7) {
["timeout"]=>
float(-56.50444)
["blocking"]=>
bool(true)
["headers"]=>
array(4) {
["Host"]=>
string(20) "address.nzpost.co.nz"
["User-Agent"]=>
string(28) "Drupal (+http://drupal.org/)"
["Connection"]=>
string(5) "close"
["Referer"]=>
string(123) "[removed]"
}
["method"]=>
string(3) "GET"
["data"]=>
NULL
["max_redirects"]=>
int(3)
["context"]=>
NULL
}
["chunk_size"]=>
int(1024)
["error"]=>
string(17) "request timed out"
["code"]=>
string(20) "HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT"
}
As you can see, the timeout in the result is now seriously negative.

Semi-related, as right now I do not make the initial connection async; so it can timeout here in the httprl_request() function; but this shouldn't be your case.
#1317482: See if I can use stream_set_blocking() before creating the connection.
The read & write loops both contain the same pointer to the same stream. Closing the stream when we are done writing makes reading back impossible. That's the trick with non blocking mode, after we are done writing to the stream we ignore the response by closing the connection.
As for the bog report, I've added in some more verbose messages so it will let you know what part of the request timed out; the read, the write and I've now added in a no streams available timeout as well. I'm not 100% sure this patch will fix the timeout issue; at least with this we can pinpoint what is timing out.

This didn't fix the issue. It still bailed after the 60 second server timeout with "request timed out, read".
Because if (!empty($n)) { still returns true ($n is 1), the new timeout checking code doesn't get run. I imagine that you didn't mean to add it there, as that's right before the loop is unconditionally broken anyway (which also causes a return).
By taking the timeout scanning code outside the else {} block it fixed the problem in my case (the loop bailed with "request timed out, no streams available" as it should, after 5 seconds waiting for the server.
I've attached a modified version of your patch that works for me.

If we are putting the timeout checking code in the main event loop then I can simplify the code. I was assuming that the foreach ($read ... portion would be checking the timeout but it appears that is incorrect.
This patch cuts about 0.5kb from the module file.

Strength training, whether you’re lifting weights, doing bodyweight exercises or incorporating yoga moves, helps improve muscle strength and muscle mass, particularly important as we age. (8) It also keeps bones strong, thus serving as a great natural treatment for osteoporosis. Plus, increased muscle helps your body burn calories more efficiently long after your workout is over.
"Losing weight, stopping smoking and doing more exercise are associated with better sexual health," says Dr Andrew McCullough, director of Male Sexual Health, Fertility and Microsurgery at New York University Medical Center in New York City. "We talk so much about treating, treating, treating. Here we're beginning to see an increasing body of evidence that we can modify the appearance of this by changing lifestyle."
Family relationships can benefit from exercise too. On days when the weather is nice the entire family may enjoy a walk or the couple a bike ride with the children in child seats behind the parents. If the family is involved in that very active phase of rearing young children, a parent's exercise break between work and child responsibilities will likely help them to be a calmer, more able parent.
As little as 30 minutes of cardio three to five days a week will add six years to your life, according to research at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas. Do that plus a couple of days of resistance training and you'll not only live longer but also look younger, feel happier, have more energy, and stay slim. Ready for some inspiration for getting your move on? Keep reading for our timeline on the quick and long-lasting benefits of regular exercise.
In order to lose fat from one specific region, you need to burn more calories than you consume. This can be achieved by cutting your daily caloric intake down to 500 calories. Apart from this, you have to burn calories through exercise. It is advisable not to drastically cut down your caloric intake as this may deprive your body of energy and cause fatigue and dizziness. Hence, you should gradually cut your caloric consumption and burn more calories than usual.
It decreases PMS. Women often report feeling irritable and bloated before their periods, but exercise appears to minimize these conditions. In a survey of nearly 2,000 New Zealand women, researchers found that those who exercised, rested and wrote in a journal about their symptoms fared better than those who took specific vitamins or followed other DIY advice.
These beneficial effects in turn decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery disease. In addition, colon cancer and some forms of diabetes are less likely to occur in people who exercise regularly. In short, regular exercise is one of the best things that people can do to help prevent illness, maintain healthy body weight, preserve health and longevity, and enhance quality of life.
Begin standing with feet together. Step the right foot forward and bend the knees into a forward lunge, keeping the right knee in line with the second toe of the right foot; extend the arms forward and drive the fingertips toward the right foot. Push off the right foot and briefly balance on the left leg, keeping the right knee bent 90 degrees and bending both elbows; the palms should be facing one another. With control, step the right foot back into a reverse lunge position, bending both knees while simultaneously reaching both arms overhead. Reverse the movement and return to the starting position. Complete a total of eight to 10 reps on the right side before switching to the left.
If you stick to your calorie deficit and make your workouts as intense as you can, you'll get that sexy, lean Jump Rope Dudes physique. If you can't do all the exercises at the beginning, don't stress, just modify them a bit and make sure you are going at it with all your effort. Dial in the nutrition, get your workouts in and you'll get rid of those flabby arms.

Exercise can have a number of emotional benefits. Stress can be caused by elevated levels of the hormones cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. Exercise lowers these hormones, and increases serotonin, otherwise known as the happy hormone, which helps reduce stress. Working out can help keep depression and anxiety at bay. Plus, coping with mood disorders that are often associated with stress can be a little bit easier when you are in good physical shape.
But again, it's not so clear how much we need. The usual recommendations are 150 minutes/week of moderate activity, but as mentioned, that part is still up for debate. Some research suggests we need more than this to reap the benefits, while other suggests that every little bit helps. “Most research shows there is no lower threshold for health benefits,” says Paluch, “meaning that some activity is better than none and even small increases in activity will bring substantial benefits. Physical activity has the fantastic ability to act through multiple physiologic pathways in the body, making it a great bang for your buck.”
“Inactivity is associated with increased risk for a number of cancers, including colon and breast cancer,” McCleary says. “Exercise has been linked with a decreased risk of developing cancer, death from cancer, and recurrence of certain cancers.” The suggested mechanisms at play include exercise’s beneficial effects on the immune and surveillance systems that detect and kill cancer cells, improved cardio-respiratory status, improved hormonal profiles, weight maintenance, and other beneficial metabolic effects, he says.
Poorly toned triceps -- the muscles on the backs of the arms -- can cause arms to be loose and jiggly. Tone up this area with standing overhead triceps extensions. Hold a light weight in your left hand with your arm straight above your head, elbow by your ear. Keep your upper arm still as you bend the elbow and forearm to bring the weight behind your head. Return to start position and repeat 10 to 12 times or until fatigue sets in. Repeat on the right arm and complete three sets in total per arm.
That’s bad news, but emerging evidence shows that there are plenty of compelling reasons to start moving at any age and even if you’re ill or pregnant. Indeed, scientists are learning that exercise is, actually, medicine. “There is no pill that comes close to what exercise can do,” says Claude Bouchard, director of the human genomics laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Louisiana. “And if there was one, it would be extremely expensive.”
If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you know that exercise should be an essential part of your routine. But the benefits of physical activity go far beyond just physical fitness. Increasingly, more and more research is showing that working out regularly can boost other aspects of your health as well, including cognitive function and emotional well-being.
For urban runners and power-walkers, one of the biggest obstacles is other people. It’s difficult to get in your meditative zone and enjoy your music when you constantly have to dodge people. To resolve this vexing issue, Runbell, a startup in Tokyo, has developed the runner’s version of the bicycle bell. With this lightweight brass bell warning people you’re approaching from behind, you’re free to maintain your transcendental state while continuing your workout. Head to their Kickstarter campaign to pledge your support.
Exercise with a rowing machine. Using a rowing machine will help you burn calories and tone your arms. To use the machine, strap in your feet and reach forward to grab the handlebar. Keep your back straight and your knees bent. Push off with your legs and pull the handlebar toward your chest. Then, extend your arms and bend your knees again as the handlebar goes back to the starting position.[8]
Feeling down on yourself? Exercising can help you feel better about yourself — no matter what type of workout you do or how fit you are. One study found that “the simple act of exercise and not fitness itself can convince you that you look better.” (10) With so much emphasis on our outward appearances in society today, it’s comforting to know that one of the benefits of exercise helps people feel better about themselves and how they look naturally.
Exercise increases energy and vitality feelings. Sedentary individuals often complain of being too tired to work out. Ironically, exercise improves people's capacity for work so that people who exercise on a regular basis actually have more energy and greater strength and endurance for daily activities than do their sedentary peers. The feeling of increased energy, and vitality is one of the first things people tend to notice a few weeks after beginning to working out on a regular basis.
That’s bad news, but emerging evidence shows that there are plenty of compelling reasons to start moving at any age and even if you’re ill or pregnant.

Most gymgoers who are struggling with flabby arms either spend hours on the treadmill or work their biceps day in, day out. What you should focus on are the triceps because this muscle makes up two-thirds of your arm. Train it once or twice per week to lose arm fat and build upper-body strength. Your arms might get bigger, but they'll look leaner and more defined.
Sit on the floor with your legs and feet joined together, knees bent and feet placed flat on the floor. Place your hands on the floor about a foot behind your hips, palms kept shoulder-width apart and fingers pointing towards your back. Now, raise your hips off the floor by straightening your arms. Bend your right elbow to lower your hips as close to the floor as possible, without touching it. Straighten your right arms and bend your left elbow to again lower your hips as close to the floor as possible. Repeat on alternate sides.
According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), being physically active can be “a natural Viagra boost”. “Men and women who exercise regularly are going to have increased levels of desire. They’re going to have enhanced confidence, enhanced ability to achieve orgasm and greater sexual satisfaction,” says Cedric Bryant, the council’s chief exercise physiologist.
The one arm tricep dips in an effective exercise to lose arm fat that primarily focuses on the triceps – the back portion of the arms where most of the fat gets deposited. Being a powerful toning exercise it can be included in the 1200 calorie diet and exercise plan. The best thing about this exercise is that absolutely no equipments are required for doing it. All you will need is some clear space in your room.
HOW TO DO IT: Assume a wide sumo stance with your feet farther than shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed out slightly. Drop your weight into your heels and lower your hips until your palms reach the box without rounding your lower back. Jump your feet back into a plank. Reverse the movement and repeat for 30 to 60 seconds. Add height to the box if the movement is too difficult.
Bend your knees and push your butt back toward your heels, and then explode from that position back to a high plank and immediately bend your elbows and bring your chest toward the ground to do a push-up. As you bend your elbows and lower toward the ground, your elbows should be at about a 45-degree angle to your body (though you can make adjustments based on what feels best for your shoulders).
To perform reverse curls you will need a barbell with weight, enough to provide a challenging workout but not so much that you can’t complete a third set. Hold the bar at your waist in an overhand grip with your feet about shoulder-width apart; this is your starting position. Then you simply perform your basic curl exercise, flexing your muscles to lift the bar to shoulder level and return to starting position.
We get it: You're busy! Career, family, friends, travel, that book club pick you still haven't checked out of the library (much less finished). With all that's going on, it can be tough to make time to hit the gym. Thankfully, you don’t need to go to the gym to achieve fabulously toned arms. Below are some of our favorite arm exercises for women that will help you tone your arm muscles and lose arm fat without weights — on your time. Say goodbye to flabby arms!
As people enter their forties and fifties, muscle mass starts to decline because of aging and, in some cases, decreased activity levels. Muscular atrophy can also occur because of health conditions, such as joint pain. As we age, it’s important to increase or maintain muscle mass through strength training, not only because it helps burn calories, but also because muscle mass is essential for strength and balance.
Exhale and use your triceps to lift the weight until your right arm is fully extended behind you. Supinate by turning your palm up as your arm moves back, so that your palm faces the ceiling. Move only your forearm and do not use your left hand or your legs. Pause once your right arm is fully extended, inhale, and then exhale as you bring the free weight back to the starting position.

Laravel Flash Message: A Developer’s Guide to Better UX
laravel flash message
Laravel is renowned for its elegant syntax and a rich set of features that simplify web development. Among its numerous functionalities, Laravel flash message is a pivotal feature, enhancing user interaction by providing temporary, yet impactful notifications. These messages offer immediate feedback to users after they perform certain actions, such as form submissions or data updates.
This article delves into the intricacies of implementing and customizing flash messages in Laravel, alongside best practices to optimize their usage. Additionally, it addresses frequently asked questions, providing a comprehensive guide to effectively leveraging Laravel flash messages in web applications.
Understanding Flash Messages in Laravel
Flash messages in Laravel serve as a crucial communication tool between the application and its users. They are temporary notifications that appear after specific interactions, designed to inform users about the success, failure, or status of an action they have undertaken. Here’s why they are essential in Laravel applications:
• Immediate Feedback: Flash messages provide instant feedback to users, which is vital for a positive user experience. For instance, after a user submits a form, a flash message can instantly inform them whether the submission was successful or if there were errors.
• Enhanced User Interaction: These messages play a significant role in guiding users through a web application. They can be used to confirm actions, warn about potential issues, or provide helpful hints, thereby making the user journey smoother and more intuitive.
• Customizable and Versatile: Laravel allows for extensive customization of flash messages. Developers can tailor their appearance, duration, and content to fit the application’s theme and user needs. This flexibility ensures that the messages are not just informative but also align with the overall design of the application.
• Temporary yet Impactful: The temporary nature of flash messages ensures that they convey the message without cluttering the user interface. They appear long enough to be noticed and understood, then disappear, maintaining a clean and unobtrusive UI.
In summary, Laravel flash messages are more than just alerts; they are an integral part of the user experience, offering a seamless way to communicate key information to users effectively. Their implementation and customization can significantly enhance the usability and aesthetic appeal of a Laravel application.

Implementing Flash Messages in Laravel
Implementing Laravel flash message functionality involves a few straightforward steps. Here’s a guide to setting them up in your Laravel application:
1. Setting Up a Flash Message: In your controller, after an action like a form submission, set a flash message to the session. For example, after a successful form submission:
session()->flash('success', 'Form submitted successfully!');
1. Displaying the Flash Message: In your view file, check if the flash message exists in the session and display it. Typically, this is done in a Blade template:
@if(session('success'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('success') }}
</div>
@endif
1. Integration with Session Management: Laravel flash messages are part of the session data and are automatically cleared after being displayed once. This seamless integration with Laravel’s session management ensures that flash messages are temporary and do not persist across multiple requests.
Customizing Flash Messages
Customizing the appearance and behavior of flash messages in Laravel can significantly enhance the user experience. Here are some techniques to achieve this:
• Styling with CSS: Use CSS to style the flash messages according to your application’s design. You can change colors, fonts, and positioning to make the message stand out or blend in with the rest of your UI.
• Adding Animations with JavaScript: For a more dynamic user interface, use JavaScript or jQuery to add animations to the flash messages. For instance, you can make them fade out or slide away after a few seconds.
• Custom Examples: Here’s an example of a customized flash message using CSS and JavaScript:
<div class="alert alert-success" id="flash-msg">
{{ session('success') }}
</div>
<script>
setTimeout(function() {
$('#flash-msg').fadeOut('slow');
}, 3000); // The message will fade out in 3 seconds
</script>
In this example, the flash message will fade out after 3 seconds, providing a smooth user experience.
By customizing Laravel flash messages, you can create a more engaging and interactive interface that resonates with your users, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of your web application.
Best Practices for Flash Messages in Laravel
When implementing Laravel flash messages, adhering to best practices is crucial for ensuring they are effective and user-friendly. Here are some key considerations:
• Optimal Timing and Duration: The timing and duration of flash messages are critical for user experience. They should appear immediately after the user action that triggers them, such as form submission or login. The duration should be long enough for users to read and understand the message but not so long that it becomes an annoyance. A good rule of thumb is to display the message for 3-5 seconds before it automatically disappears. For longer messages, consider increasing the duration slightly.
• Clarity and Conciseness: The content of flash messages should be clear and concise. Users should be able to quickly grasp the message without confusion. Avoid technical jargon and keep the language simple. For example, instead of saying “Entity submission successful,” say “Form submitted successfully.” The goal is to convey the message in the simplest terms possible.
• Accessibility Considerations: Ensure that flash messages are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This includes:
• Screen Reader Compatibility: Make sure that flash messages are properly structured so that screen readers can interpret and read them aloud to visually impaired users.
• Color Contrast and Font Size: Use high contrast colors for text and background to make the messages easily readable. Also, consider the font size so that it is legible for users with visual impairments.
• Keyboard Navigation: Ensure that users who navigate using a keyboard can dismiss the flash messages easily, if necessary.

Incorporating these best practices will make Laravel flash messages a powerful tool for enhancing user interaction, ensuring that they are not only informative but also accessible and user-friendly.
FAQs
How do I create a flash message in Laravel?
To create a flash message in Laravel, use the session function in your controller. For example, session()->flash('message', 'Your action was successful!'). This message will then be available on the next HTTP request and can be displayed in your Blade template.
Can flash messages in Laravel be styled?
Yes, flash messages in Laravel can be styled using CSS. You can apply custom classes to the message container in your Blade template and define the styles in your CSS files, allowing you to match the design of your application.
Are Laravel flash messages secure?
Laravel flash messages are secure as they are part of the session data. They are stored on the server and only a reference is kept in the user’s session cookie, minimizing exposure to potential security threats.
How do I display flash messages only once in Laravel?
Flash messages in Laravel are inherently designed to be displayed only once. They are stored in the session and automatically removed after being displayed to the user, ensuring they appear just for the subsequent request.

Ivory Coast Plans Fourfold Increase in Crude Oil Output in Next Five Years
Ivory Coast is planning a fourfold
increase in crude oil production in five years as the West
African nation, which is recovering from a 4 1/2 month violent
post-election crisis, seeks investors in mining and energy. The world’s top cocoa producer wants oil output to rise to
200,000 barrels a day from the current rate of around 50,000
barrels as new drilling operations begin, said Adama Toungara,
minister of mines, oil and energy. “We’ll have to build an integrated economy of mines and
energy sectors,” Toungara, who was named to the post on June 1,
told an industry conference in Yamoussoukro, the capital, today. Toungara is a member of the administration of Alassane Ouattara , the winner of Ivory Coast’s November presidential
election. He was prevented from taking office until the April 11
capture of Laurent Gbagbo , who ruled for a decade and refused to
cede power after losing the vote. At least 2,000 were killed in clashes between supporters of
the two men, according to the United Nations . Ivory Coast also wants to triple production of gold from
the current 7 metric tons (246,911 ounces) annually over the
next four to six years, Toungara said. The country may “take incentive and attendant measures for
companies willing to invest” in its mines, oil and energy
industries, he said without providing details. Randgold Resources Ltd., Cluff Gold Plc and Newcrest Mining
Ltd. operate gold mines in Ivory Coast and had their operations
disrupted during the post-election conflict. Ivory Coast neighbors Ghana , where oil production at the
offshore Jubilee oil field is expected to reach 120,000 barrels
per day by July, according to Tullow Oil Plc (TLW) , the field’s
operator. U.K.-based Tullow also operates in Ivory Coast, where
it pumped 3,850 barrels of oil equivalent per day last year,
according to its website. To contact the reporter on this story:

Setting up static files in Django
I've recently been working on a project to port a web application that I wrote at work in .NET to Python, using the Django framework. I wanted to see what the advantages of using a language I'm more familiar with and adopting an agile, test-driven development methodology would be. I'm hosting it on Python Anywhere, which offers a great (and free, if your needs are relatively small) hosting service for Python web apps.
One thing to be aware of with Django is its handling of static files; there's a whole manual page on how to go about dealing with CSS and other assets in testing and deployment, but the short version is that the deployed version really needs to have all of the static files collected from their apps (/app/static/app/...) to a central directory (/static/app/...). This is easily achieved using ./manage.py collectstatic, but means two copies of those files in the working copy.
I already had an open issue on another Django-based project to avoid this kind of duplication; I used a commit hook there to run collectstatic on the development side, then push everything, which means that there are two copies of the site's static files in the repository. Instead, I decided for this new project to move the automated static collection to the hg update command (it's hosted on a private BitBucket repo using Mercurial, rather than Git, as I wanted to try out the other option). This means that it runs on the server side, and required two changes:
1. Adding ^static/ (the static file directory in the root folder, which I'd set up as STATIC_ROOT for the project) to the .hgignore, so that its contents weren't being tracked by Mercurial; and
2. Adding an update hook to .hg/hgrc to perform the static file collection when I update the repository.
The latter looks like:
:::bash
...
[hooks]
update = ./manage.py collectstatic --noinput
which I think is pretty self-explanatory! Now only one copy of the CSS is kept in the central repository, but the deployed site is set up automatically when I pull down the changes from that repo and update the working copy.

Does Jack3d Micro increase Metabolism?
4 min read
Asked by: Jeff Simonski
Is jacked 3d Safe?
Federal health regulators issued a warning in April that the stimulant in Jack3d, a workout booster, frequently raises blood pressure and heart rate, and could lead to heart attacks.
What was the banned substance in Jack3d?
The supplement is called Jack3d (pronounced Jacked), but the ingredient that users say sets it apart from other pre-workout supplements is 1,3 dimethylamylamine – or DMAA. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says DMAA is illegal. The FDA has received 86 adverse event reports believed to be linked to DMAA.
Does Jack3d have DMAA?
Jack3d and OxyElite Pro both contain a stimulant known as DMAA. Its structure is similar to that of an amphetamine (e.g. methamphetamine).
How long does Jack3d take to work?
On 2 scoops, this is a great experience. Jack3d really is one of the better all-around pre workouts on the market. It hits very fast and very strong. Expect the feeling to rush through your body approximately 5 minutes after drinking the pre workout.
What does DMAA do to the body?
Taking DMAA can raise blood pressure and lead to cardiovascular problems ranging from shortness of breath and tightening in the chest to heart attack. The FDA continues to advise consumers not to buy or use products marketed as dietary supplements that contain DMAA due to the health risks they present.
Does Jack3d have creatine?
Yes. JACK3D contains a proprietary blend which does contain creatine.
Is DMAA a steroid?
DMAA is banned by the US Military because two soliders died after taking it during basic training. It’s apparently serious stuff. It also has pregnenolone, a steroid hormone banned by the olympics so I figured that would give me some sort of insight into what taking an illegal steroid would be like.
Will DMAA fail a drug test?
(DMAA) that is widely rumored to cause a “false positive” drug test . mass spectrometry (GC/MS) testing to confirm urinalysis test re- sults. Under GC/MS testing , DMAA will never produce a positive result for amphetamines or any other drug tested by the DoD.
Does DMAA increase muscle mass?
Arginine also boosts growth hormone levels, and research has shown that subjects supplementing with arginine simultaneously gain muscle while dropping bodyfat. DIMETHYLAMYLAMINE (DMAA) Also known as methylhexanamine, this active ingredient found in geranium oil provides a stimulant effect.
Why was the original jacked banned?
A sports supplement popular with fitness fanatics has been banned in Britain because of fears it may have lethal side-effects. The drink Jack3D contains a stimulant known as DMAA (dimethylamylamine) that has been linked to high blood pressure, headaches, vomiting, stroke and even a death.
Is Jack3D pre-workout safe?
A study of 25 healthy men has found DMAA-containing, pre-workout sports supplement, Jack3D, does not change resting heart rate, blood pressure or affect liver and kidney function when used at recommended dosage levels.
How much caffeine is in a scoop of Jack3D?
135mg
Jack3d contains 135mg of caffeine per scoop.
What is jacked 3d?
Jack3d is a pre-workout energy booster that users say gives them an intense focus during training, allowing them to train harder for longer. It contains DMAA, dimethylamylamine, which increases the heart rate and is often used as a dietary fat burner.
What was in the original jacked 3d?
Jack3d contains an amphetamine-like stimulant called dimethylamylamine, or DMAA.
How much caffeine is in Jack3d?
135mg
How Much Caffeine Does Jack3D Contain? Jack3d contains 135mg of caffeine per scoop. Caffeine is great for a quick burst of energy, but quickly dissipates and leaves you crashing.
What is the difference between DMAA and Dmha?
What’s the difference between DMAA and DMHA? The main difference between DMAA and DMHA is that DMAA is stronger per milligram. It usually takes about two to three times as much DMHA to achieve similar results to DMAA. Both DMAA and DMHA can create feelings of energy, alertness, and euphoria.
Is DMAA a fat burner?
DMAA releases neurotransmitters in the body naturally released when stressed, which helps controls appetite and increase energy. The substance also helps the body to burn more fat by increasing the capacity of the body to produce heat.
Is DMHA a fat burner?
Overview. Dimethylhexylamine (DMHA) was originally used as a drug for nasal congestion. Today, DMHA is included as an ingredient in dietary supplement products to boost workout performance, “burn fat,” or increase weight loss. But there’s no good scientific research to support these uses. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Haqqani Terrorist Group ‘Veritable Arm’ of Pakistan Intelligence
The Haqqani terrorist network,
which the U.S. blames for attacks on Americans and others in
Afghanistan , acts as a “veritable arm” of Pakistan’s
intelligence service, the U.S.’s top uniformed official said
today. Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee today that
Haqqani network operatives, with support from Pakistan’s Inter-
Services Intelligence agency, “planned and conducted” the
Sept. 14 assault on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. “We also have credible intelligence” that the Haqqani
network was behind the June 28 attacks against the Inter-
Continental Hotel in Kabul “and a host of other smaller but
effective operations,” Mullen said in his likely last
appearance before the panel before retiring next week. Mullen said the Pakistan Army and ISI are using the Haqqani
network as “proxies” for “hedging their bets” for when the
U.S. leaves the region “or redressing what they feel is an
imbalance of regional power.” “In choosing to use violent extremist as a instrument of
policy, the government of Pakistan and most especially the Army
and ISI jeopardizes not only the prospect of our strategic
partnership, but also Pakistan’s opportunity to be a respected
nation.” To contact the reporter on this story:

Universal is adding The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame to its cinematic universe
Just days before The Mummy hits theaters, Universal is expanding its recently named Dark Universe with two more films. In an interview with Fandom, director Alex Kurtzman revealed that the studio is working on new versions of The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback of Notre Dame to add to its already crowded roster. “We know we’re going to do Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Phantom of the Opera, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Invisible Man,” he told the site. 1923’s The Phantom of the Opera and 1925’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame were two of Universal’s first monster movies, and they laid the groundwork for the studio’s later films. Pulling the two characters into the Dark Universe shows that it’s going back to its horror roots, even though modern audiences are more likely familiar with the two characters from theatrical musicals or Disney films. However, it’s worth noting that neither the Phantom nor the Hunchback are monsters in any traditional sense, just disfigured men. Universal will likely inject some supernatural elements into their stories so they make sense in a world filled with vampires and invisible men. Still, the idea that Quasimodo’s affliction makes him monstrous will almost surely garner criticism, depending on how the material is handled. Still, this does show how bullish Universal is with its new Dark Universe experiment. The studio is launching its Marvel-esque cinematic universe this week with The Mummy, and Bride of Frankenstein, starring Javier Bardem as Frankenstein’s Monster, is currently scheduled for release in February 2019. The upcoming films will all center around a mysterious organization called Prodigium, led by Dr. Henry Jekyll (Russell Crowe). While reviews have yet to even come in for The Mummy, Universal is clearly banking hard on its new franchise. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
BridgeBio (BBIO), Amgen Partner in Advanced Solid Tumors Study
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc. BBIO announced that it has entered into a non-exclusive clinical collaboration agreement with Amgen AMGN to evaluate the combination of its investigational SHP2 inhibitor BBP-398 with the latter’s KRAS G12C inhibitor Lumakras in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced solid tumors.
Both BridgeBio and Amgen will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of the combination in a phase I/II study. The study will first determine dose escalation for the combination followed by dose expansion and optimization.
Per the agreement terms, BridgeBio will be responsible for sponsoring the study while Amgen is responsible for the worldwide supply of Lumakras.
Per management estimates, KRAS mutations account for approximately 17% of malignant tumors. BridgeBio believes that the combination of an SHP2 inhibitor with a KRAS G12C inhibitor has the potential to prevent oncogenesis. BridgeBio also plans to enter into similar collaborations with other entities to explore such combinations.
Shares of BridgeBio have plunged 81.4% in the trailing 12 months compared with the industry’s 31.4% decline.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
BridgeBio is currently evaluating BBP-398 in a phase I study in solid tumor patients. BBIO is also evaluating BBP-398 as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies to target patients having KRAS G12C mutations.
Lumakras is an FDA approved therapy approved since May 2021 for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The launch of Lumakras in the United States is off to an excellent start, while its label expansion studies are progressing rapidly. Amgen generated $36 million from Lumakras’ sales in third-quarter 2021.
Another company that has a KRAS inhibitor in its pipeline is Mirati Therapeutics MRTX. Adagrasib, Mirati’s leading KRAS inhibitor candidate, is being studied both as a monotherapy and in combination in a phase I/II study (KRYSTAL) to treat patients with KRAS G12C-positive tumors.
Last October, Mirati entered into a non-exclusive clinical collaboration agreement with Sanofi SNY. The collaboration will evaluate the combination of Mirati’s KRASG12C inhibitor adagrasib with Sanofi's investigational SHP2 inhibitor SAR442720 (also known as RMC-4630) in a phase I/II dose escalation and expansion study in previously treated NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutations.
Per the agreement terms, Mirati and Sanofi will jointly oversee and share costs of the above study. However, Sanofi will be responsible for sponsoring and operating the study.

CATO THE YOUNGER. 433 As for the senators that were there, they showed great forwardness, and at once set free their slaves, and fur- nished them with arms. But the three hundred being men occupied in merchandise and money-lending, much of their substance also consisting in slaves, the enthusiasm that Cato's speech had raised in them, did not long con- tinue. As there are substances that easily admit heat, and as suddenly lose it, when the fire is removed, so these men were heated and inflamed, while Cato was present; but when they began to reason among them- selves, the fear they had of Caesar, soon overcame their reverence for Cato and for virtue. " For who are we," said they, " and who is it we refuse to obey ? Is it not that Ctesar, who is now invested with all the power of Rome ? and which of us is a Scipio, a Pompey, or a Cato ? But now that all men make their honor give way to their fear, shall we alone engage for the liberty of Rome, and in Utica declare war against him, before whom Cato and Pompey the Great fled out of Italy ? Shall we set free our slaves against Caasar, who have ourselves no more liberty than he is pleased to allow? No, let us, poor creatures, know ourselves, submit to the victor, and send deputies to implore his mercy." Thus said the most mod- erate of them ; but the greatest part were for seizing the senators, that by securing them, they might appease Caesar's anger. Cato, though he perceived the change, took no notice of it ; but wrote to Juba and Scipio to keep away from Utica, because he mistrusted the three hundred. A considerable body of horse, which had escaped from the late fight, riding up towards Utica, sent three men before to Cato, who yet did not all bring the same message ; for one party was for going to Juba, another for joining with Cato, and some again were afraid to go into Utica. When Cato heard this, he ordered Marcus vol. iv. 28 | WIKI |
Midterm election results 2018: races still not called
It’s been more than a week since the 2018 midterm elections took place, and we still don’t know how all of the races shook out. Multiple seats in the House of Representatives haven’t yet been called, and a pair of Senate seats are up in the air, too. And then, of course, there’s all of the turmoil in Florida and Georgia. The so-called “blue wave” many anticipated ahead of the November 6 elections has been slower rolling than expected, in part because of the high number of contests, particularly in Western states, and in part because counting votes takes time. Just on Tuesday evening, Democrat Josh Harder beat out four-term Republican Rep. Jeff Denham in California’s 10th Congressional District. And on Wednesday, Democrat Andy Kim defeated incumbent Republican Rep. Tom MacArthur in New Jersey’s Third Congressional District. In January, there will be only one Republican member of Congress representing New Jersey. Elizabeth Warren protégée Katie Porter also officially defeated California incumbent Republican Rep. Mimi Walters on Wednesday. You probably thought you’d be waking up on November 7 not knowing how all of the 2018 election results turned out; November 14, not so much. But here we are. Here’s a list of the House, Senate, and gubernatorial races that have yet to be called. Seven House races are still too close to call. California’s 39th Congressional District: Young Kim vs. Gil Cisneros Republican Young Kim and Democrat Gil Cisneros are squaring off in California to replace incumbent Republican Rep. Ed Royce, who’s retiring. If Kim is declared the victor, she would be the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress in the United States. Kim’s lead over Cisneros has been narrowing as ballots are counted. Georgia’s Seventh Congressional District: Rob Woodall vs. Carolyn Bourdeaux Georgia State University professor Carolyn Bourdeaux’s race against Republican incumbent Rep. Rob Woodall is still ongoing as provisional and absentee ballots continue to be counted. Bourdeaux’s campaign asked the courts to intervene. The too-close-to-call contest could be headed for a recount if the margin between the two is less than 1 percent or potentially a runoff if neither gets a majority of the vote. Maine’s Second Congressional District: Bruce Poliquin vs. Jared Golden Two-term Republican incumbent Rep. Bruce Poliquin this week filed a lawsuit in a federal court trying to block Maine from tabulating ranked-choice voting ballots in determining the winner of the district he currently represents. As NPR explains, Maine voters approved ranked-choice voting in 2016, by which voters rank candidates in order of preference. If a candidate wins the majority of votes after the first tabulation, he or she is declared the winner. But if there’s no majority, then voters’ second choice rankings are taken into account. Because Poliquin and his Democratic challenger Jared Golden didn’t get a majority of the vote the first time ballots were counted, a retabulation is in order. That’s what Poliquin is trying to block. New York’s 22nd Congressional District: Anthony Brindisi vs. Claudia Tenney Incumbent Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney was first elected to the House in 2016 and ahead of Election Day was considered a weak incumbent against Democratic challenger and State Assembly member Anthony Brindisi. He was in Washington, DC, this week starting a two-week orientation for new members of Congress even though the race hasn’t yet been called, as absentee and affidavit ballots are still being counted. New York’s 27th Congressional District: Chris Collins vs. Nate McMurray Incumbent Republican Rep. Chris Collins, an early endorser of President Donald Trump, dropped his bid for reelection over the summer amid charges of insider trading. But then he reversed course because it was too late in the game for another Republican to be put on the ballot. The race between Collins and Nate McMurray, his Democratic challenger, is still too close to call with absentee and affidavit ballots still being tabulated. Collins is still leading by a few thousand votes, but McMurray attended congressional orientation this week. Texas’s 23rd Congressional District: Will Hurd vs. Gina Ortiz Jones Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones is trying to unseat Republican Rep. Will Hurd in Texas’s 23rd Congressional District on the southwest border. Ortiz Jones is behind Hurd by just a few hundred votes and made a request for the deadline for provisional ballot counting in the district to be extended for 48 hours, which a judge denied. Hurd has already claimed victory, but if the race is close enough, Ortiz Jones could request a recount. Utah’s Fourth Congressional District: Ben McAdams vs. Mia Love Democrat Ben McAdams has a small lead over Republican incumbent Rep. Mia Love in Utah as votes continue to be counted, and the race is still too close to call. President Trump took a swipe at Love during his post-election press conference last week, saying she’d done poorly because she hadn’t supported him enough. “I saw Mia Love, she would call me all the time to help her with a hostage situation, being held hostage in Venezuela,” Trump said. “But Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia.” The results of two Senate races are still up in the air. Florida: Bill Nelson vs. Rick Scott A recount in Florida is underway in the race between Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott. Because the margin between the pair was so close — a less than 0.5 percent lead for Scott — Florida law mandates an automatic machine recount. If the margin after that is less than 0.25 percent, then a hand recount will be next. Florida’s recount has drawn national attention, with Republicans crying foul and claiming voter fraud and Democrats asking that every vote be counted. As Vox’s German Lopez points out, there’s no evidence of voter fraud in Florida, but some incompetence and lack of transparency have come to light. That Florida’s elections process is less than ideal isn’t a secret — problems also came to light in the 2000 presidential election. One of Scott’s top campaign advisers in media interviews this week wouldn’t commit to Scott certifying the results of the Senate election if it turns out that he loses to Nelson. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has called for Scott to recuse himself from the recount process. Mississippi: Cindy Hyde-Smith and Mike Espy Mississippi’s US Senate race was never going to be decided on Election Day because of the state’s “jungle primary” election system. Under the scheme, every candidate runs in the first Election Day race in November, and if none gets more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two vote-getters head to a runoff. That’s what happened this time around, and so Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith will face Democrat Mike Espy on November 27. Hyde-Smith was appointed to the Senate this year to replace retiring incumbent Thad Cochran. As Vox’s Dylan Scott noted, Hyde-Smith appears to have an edge over Espy in two-way race polling, but Espy could potentially pull off an upset. Both have their own baggage. Espy was acquitted of bribery charges in the 1990s, and that could still dog him. And Hyde-Smith made headlines just this week for making a joke on the campaign trail about “public hanging.” Mississippi has a deep history of lynching. Her campaign put out a statement saying that it was an “exaggerated expression of regard” and calling an attempt to turn it into a “negative connotation … ridiculous.” She has refused to apologize or comment further. Democratic gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams in Georgia and Andrew Gillum in Florida garnered national attention instead of Election Day. While it’s unlikely now that either will win their respective contests, their races still aren’t over as both continue to insist that every vote cast on November 6 be counted. Florida: Andrew Gillum vs. Ron DeSantis Democrat Andrew Gillum initially conceded to Republican Ron DeSantis after the election but has since reversed course. As ballots in Florida have continued to be counted and DeSantis’s lead over Gillum has shrunk, the Tallahassee mayor has shifted his attention to voting rights and demanding that Florida election officials count every vote. Because the difference between his and DeSantis’s vote totals was so close, a machine recount was triggered. It’s possible, but unlikely, it will change the outcome of the election for Gillum, who trailed behind Nelson in votes. Georgia: Stacey Abrams vs. Brian Kemp Democrat Stacey Abrams continues to hold out hope for a recount or a runoff in Georgia and is refusing to concede to Republican Brian Kemp, who has already declared victory. As Vox’s Tara Golshan, Li Zhou, and P.R. Lockhart explained, Abrams is hoping that as votes are counted, she can close the gap enough between her and Kemp to trigger a recount or perhaps a runoff. If neither candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote, there would be another contest on December 4. Much of the battle in Georgia has been about voting rights and access. Kemp, who was until last week Georgia’s secretary of state and overseeing the election, employed some eyebrow-raising tactics around voting that some saw as efforts to keep people away from the polls. Abrams has said she’ll stay in the race until every vote gets counted. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

blambert/azure – Windows Azure Worker Roles – Thinking Outside The Box
In this posting I am going to show you how to run an Azure Worker Role outside the Development Fabric.
Why would you want to do this?
Because you want to be an Azure Ninja! (空色の忍者)
While testing an Azure Worker Role in the Development Fabric is an important part of the development process, having to deploy an Azure Service on every development cycle is costly. Especially if it is a Web and Worker Cloud Service, and you are only working on the Worker Role.
Fortunately, an Azure Worker Role is simply an assembly containing a class derived from RoleEntryPoint, and what we need from RoleManager isn’t that complicated.
This won’t be that hard!
Let’s get started by creating a standard Azure Service with a standard Worker Role:
Create
At this point you will see:
WorkerRole
Let’s run this in the Development Fabric to see that everything works.
WorkerRole1
And we can see it’s up and running by the “Working” log entries.
Manual Mode
safetyswitch
I’m going to fast-forward now to the changes I made to the Example Solution, and then explain what I did.
Here’s my solution after making my changes:
SolutionAfter
Summary: I added two new projects: Helpers, using the Class Library project template, and Example_WorkerRole.Simulator, using the the Console Application project template.
In the Helpers project, I added a class called AzureHelper. In this class I added a WriteToLog method, which mimics RoleManager.WriteToLog, and uses the RoleManager.IsRoleManagerRunning property to see whether to write messages to Azure or to the Console:
namespace Helpers
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Globalization;
using Microsoft.ServiceHosting.ServiceRuntime;
/// <summary>
/// AzureHelper class.
/// </summary>
public static class AzureHelper
{
/// <summary>
/// Writes a string value to the log.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="eventLogName">
/// The type of event to be written to the log. Permitted string values
/// are Critical, Error, Warning, Information, Verbose.
/// </param>
/// <param name="message">The message to write to the log. </param>
public void WriteToLog(string eventLogName, string message)
{
// When Azure RoleManager is running, write to the Azure log; otherwise, write to the console.
if (RoleManager.IsRoleManagerRunning)
{
RoleManager.WriteToLog(eventLogName, message);
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "{0} {1}", eventLogName, message);
}
}
}
}
Next, I changed the WorkerRole.cs file to use AzureHelper.WriteToLog instead of RoleManager.WriteToLog (and added a few other bits, which are self-explanatory):
namespace Example_WorkerRole
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.ServiceHosting.ServiceRuntime;
using Helpers;
/// <summary>
/// Example worker role.
/// </summary>
public class WorkerRole : RoleEntryPoint
{
/// <summary>
/// A value which indicates whether the worker role is running.
/// </summary>
private volatile bool running;
/// <summary>
/// Called to start the worker role.
/// </summary>
public override void Start()
{
AzureHelper.WriteToLog("Information", "Started");
for (running = true; running; )
{
AzureHelper.WriteToLog("Information", "Working");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
AzureHelper.WriteToLog("Information", "Exiting");
}
/// <summary>
/// Called to stop the worker role.
/// </summary>
public override void Stop()
{
running = false;
base.Stop();
}
/// <summary>
/// Returns the current health status of the role.
/// </summary>
/// <returns>A RoleStatus representing the health status of the role.</returns>
public override RoleStatus GetHealthStatus()
{
return RoleStatus.Healthy;
}
}
}
Now our Worker Role doesn’t care where it’s running!
You can mimic RoleManager.GetConfigurationSetting and RoleManager.GetLocalResource in the same way. Implementing ILocalResource looks to be a snap… (I’ll leave this work for you to do to keep this posting as concise as possible.)
Next I added WorkerRoleSimulator.cs to the Helpers project:
namespace Helpers
{

I modeled WorkerRoleSimulator as a Console for running an Azure worker role. It starts a background thread which calls the RoleEntryPoint.Start method, and waits for you to type exit; at which point it will call the RoleEntryPoint.Stop method.
You can flesh this class out to more closely mimic the Development Fabric by adding suspend and re-start with very little effort.
Finally, I changed the Program.cs file in the Example_WorkerRole.Simulator project to start the WorkerRoleSimulator:
namespace Example_WorkerRole.Simulator
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Helpers;
using Example_WorkerRole;
/// <summary>
/// Example_WorkerRole.Simulator program.

class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// Main entry point.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="args">Command line arguments.</param>
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WorkerRoleSimulator<WorkerRole>.Start();
}
}
}
And that’s it!
Let’s fire it up:

Best!

Shoulder Pain
Enduring pain every time you raise or move your arm poses quite a problem, especially considering how frequently you move your shoulder muscles.

President of Lifestyles Healthcare Group
Dr. Darin Stokke can target the cause of your problem and provide a long-term, natural solution for your shoulder pain.
Although it might seem tempting to use pain medications that provide immediate relief, Dr. Darin Stokke of Lifestyles Healthcare Group in Fort Myers, Florida can target the cause of your problem and provide a long-term, natural solution for your shoulder pain.
Schedule an appointment online or by calling his office to reduce your shoulder pain using exercise therapy, massage therapy, and other chiropractic modalities.
Office Hours
Are there different types of shoulder pain?
There are two types of shoulder pain, acute and chronic.
Acute shoulder pain
Acute shoulder pain is pain that lasts less than three to six months or is from soft tissue damage. The shoulder is the joint in your body with the broadest range of motion. The anatomy of it is quite complex, consisting of four muscles, three bones, and various tendons, all at risk of injury that could cause you acute shoulder pain.
Strains, sprains, and overuse cause acute shoulder pain, as can a dislocation. A dislocation occurs when the bones that meet at the joint are out of place. Inflammatory conditions like bursitis cause acute shoulder pain as well.
Chronic shoulder pain
Chronic shoulder pain lasts more than 12 weeks, possibly lasting several months or longer. Arthritis, including rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, causes recurring shoulder pain. Fibromyalgia can cause shoulder pain too since it can lead to pain throughout your musculoskeletal system.
How does a chiropractor diagnose the cause of shoulder pain?
Dr. Stokke discusses your particular condition, lifestyle, and medical history with you to determine potential causes. You should be as specific as possible when describing the degree and location of the discomfort because different conditions and injuries cause different levels of pain.
After discussing your condition, Dr. Stokke performs various diagnostic testing to evaluate your condition and find the cause of your shoulder pain. For example, an X-ray shows him an image of the bones that form your shoulder joint, and a CT scan helps identify any issues with the soft tissue. It’s also possible for Dr. Stokke to use an MRI to view the soft tissue and bones in your shoulder.
How does a chiropractor treat shoulder pain?
A spinal adjustment consists of Dr. Stokke using his hands to manually move the spine to alleviate pressure on the muscles and nerves surrounding it. That realigns the spine to improve function while reducing your pain. Massage therapy and hot and cold therapy are other options.

376 dency of the Willamette University in 1868, but resigned in 1870 and removed to Washington. He died at Union Ridge Jan. 2, 1874. Olympia Standard, Jan. 10, 1874. Congress passed a special act in 1873 providing that the ter. supt should be appointed by the gov. and confirmed by the council. In a synopsis of the reports of the public schools of Washington by G. H. Atkinson for the centennial of 1876, it is stated that the number of school-houses reported was 283, the number of pupils enrolled 7,116, the amount paid to teachers about $55,000 in 1875, and other minor facts.
Eastern Washington was in a somewhat more chaotic state with regard to education. Walla Walla, however, being the historic battle-ground of sectarianism, derived a benefit from it in the way of schools. Whitman Seminary was chartered in 1859-60, and built in 1867, to commemorate the labors and tragic death of, missionary to the Cayuses.
The first private school taught in Walla Walla was opened in 1864, by P. B. Chamberlain and wife. There was also a public school of 63 pupils. The catholic schools for boys and girls were well sustained. There was also St Paul's episcopal seminary for young women, and two other private institutions of learning, besides the three free schools of the city. The catholics established the hospital of St Mary's, with accommodations for about 70 patients.
Vancouver had a greater number of academies in proportion to its population in 1885 than any other town in Washington. The Sisters' House of Providence, established in 1856, was the oldest academy then in the territory, besides which the methodists and episcopalians had a eminary, and the catholics a boys' school, in addition to the public school. The Ellensburg Academy, located at Ellensburg, Kittitass co., was founded in 1884, by James H. Laurie. It had a good attendance from the start. By act of congress approved July 2, 1862, 30,000 acres of land for each senator and representative to which the states were respectively entitled was granted for agricultural colleges. Under the provisions of this act the legislature of 1864-5 passed an act establishing Washington College at or near Vancouver, and vested its government in a board of trustees, of which the governor was ex officio a member. Trustees—E. S. Fowler, M. Wintler, John Sheets, S. W. Brown, Gay Hayden, and John H. Timmons. ''Wash. Stat.'', 1864-5, 32-6. At the following session congress was informed by memorial of the selection of a site, the purchase of which was contracted for, and the lands selected, but that upon attempting to enter this land the trustees had been notified by the commissioner of the general land-office that the act of congress was only applicable to states. The memorial prayed for the extension of the benefits of the act to Washington territory. This gift was, however, withheld until the state should become entitled to it under the act.
Of libraries, the territorial was the first, being a part of the endowment of the general government on the establishment of the territory of Washington. The books were purchased by Gov. Stevens, and numbered about 2,000, including unbound documents, with a pair of globes, and five mounted maps. B. F. Kendall was appointed first librarian, and held office until Jan. 1857, when Henry R. Crosbie was elected. At this session of the legislature the librarian was made territorial auditor, the joint salary amounting to $325. This arrangement lasted till 1862. Urban E. Hicks succeeded Crosbie in 1858, followed by A. J. Moses in 1859, and J. C. Head in 1860, who was reelected in 1861. In 1862 Thomas Taylor was chosen librarian, and R. M. Walker elected auditor. In Feb. 1858 an act was passed incorporating the Steilacoom Library Association. The incorporators were: A. B. Deelin, A. F. Byrd, E. A. Light, W. H. Wallace, W. R. Downy, W. P. Dougherty, William Lane, S. McCaw, B. Pierce, Frank Clark, Sherwood Boney, O. H. White, E. M. Meeker, William N. Savage, and Nathaniel Orr. ''Wash. Stat.'', 1857-8, 47-8. In 1860 a library of 300 vols was established at Port Madison. At Seattle, in 1862, the university library was established. It numbered in 1862 800 vols. The Temperance Tacoma Lodge of Olympia established a library in 1869 of 700 vols. A catholic library was organized at Vancouver in 1870 | WIKI |

Otgontenger
Otgontenger (Отгонтэнгэр,, lit. "youngest sky") is the highest peak in the Khangai Mountains in Mongolia. Its summit is currently calculated to reach an elevation of 4,008 meters above mean sea level (some earlier topographic maps record a maximum elevation of 4,021 m). The mountain is located in Zavkhan Province and is the only peak in the Khangai range that is capped with a permanent glacier. The south face of Mount Otgontenger is the most extensive granite wall in Mongolia. Ötüken Mountain is considered sacred by ancient Turks.
Since the introduction of Buddhism, traditional Mongolian beliefs have held that wrathful deities inhabit many of Mongolia's sacred mountains. Ochirvaani is particularly associated with Otgontenger.
Accidents
On 4 August 1963, MIAT Mongolian Airlines Avia 14 Super MONGOL-105 struck the side of the mountain while on route, killing all on board.
In October 2017, 27 hikers climbed the mountain and only 10 of them came back. They requested the rescue team a day after the other 17 went missing. The rescue operation took about 4 days with helicopters and 250 men. Rescuers found all 17 of them dead, having received injuries from both fall damage and from frostbite. However, it was still argued that some of the victims survived the fall and tried to send distress signals by using flashlights. | WIKI |

How To Push or Pop Items Into MongoDB Document Array Via Mongoose in Node.js (Express.js)
If you’re Developing your Rest API’s using Node.js or Express.js, Then You’re probably using MongoDB as Database for Storing Data and Probably with mongoose ODM for working with MongoDB Database.Now as you’re DB starts to grow and you have multiple collections and they are related to each other and soon, you need to work with array’s inside in MongoDB document and now you want to push and pop from that array, In this MongoDB How-To Tutorial, we are going to learn How to Push items into mongo Array with an example.
How To Push and Pop Items Into MongoDB Document Array
Consider the following document, which is USER document, which has an array of Friends:
user schema mongodb
Now, You want edit friends array, when you want to add or remove friend to friends array.First, we will push a friend into an array with the mongoose in nodejs app.
// find by document id and update and push item in array
users.findByIdAndUpdate(userID,
{$push: {friends: friend}},
{safe: true, upsert: true},
function(err, doc) {
if(err){
console.log(err);
}else{
//do stuff
}
}
);
and you’ve successfully pushed item in a MongoDB document.Now we will learn how to pop or remove an item from MongoDB document array.
// find by document id and update and pop or remove item in array
users.findByIdAndUpdate(userID,
{$pull: {friends: friend}},
{safe: true, upsert: true},
function(err, doc) {
if(err){
console.log(err);
}else{
//do stuff
}
}
);
READ How To Exit from NodeJS Console From Script and Command
and you’re successfully pulled or removed an item in a MongoDB document.
Conclusion:
It’s very easy to handle data with mongoose and MongoDB.So that you’ve to spend less time with data handling in MongoDB, Focus on your business logic of Rest API’s.

F8i / 18A01 : Describe the carriage of oxygen in blood
18A01: Exam Report
Describe the carriage of oxygen in the blood, including total oxygen delivery per minute.
32% of candidates passed this question.
Better answers divided oxygen carriage into that bound to haemoglobin and that carried in the dissolved form. A reasonable amount of detail on the haemoglobin structure and its binding of oxygen was expected, including an explanation of co-operative binding and the oxygen carrying capacity of haemoglobin. Better answers mentioned Henry’s law in the description of dissolved oxygen, along with an estimation of the amount of oxygen that is normally in the dissolved form.
It was expected that answers include the equation for oxygen delivery, a brief description of the components of that equation and the normal value, which a large number of candidates omitted.
F8i / 18A01: Describe the carriage of oxygen in blood, including total oxygen delivery per minute
• O2 is carried in blood in 2 forms → dissolved & oxyhaemoglobin
Dissolved O2
• The O2 carried in physical solution
• Obeys Henry’s Law
HENRY’S LAW: the amount of dissolved gas present in solution is directly ∝ to the partial pressure
• Solubility coefficient for O2 = 0.003mL/dL at 37°C
Dissolved O2 (mL/100mL) = PaO2 x 0.003 (mL/100mL/mmHg)
∴@ PaO2 100mmHg = 100 x 0.003
= 0.3mL/dL
This is 1% of carried O2
NB: Dissolved PO2 rises with ↓ temperature
Oxyhaemoglobin
• Binds reversibly to Hb → Hb + O2 ⮂ HbO2
• OXYGEN CAPACITY: maximum amount of O2 that can combine 1g Hb
Huffner’s Constant = 1.34mL O2 per 1g Hb
∴O2 CAPACITY (mL/100mL) = Hb (g/mL) x 1.34 (mL/g)
∴Hb 15g/dL = 20.1mL O2 / 100mL blood
Oxygen Dissociation Curve
• Describes relationship b/w PO2 and % saturation of Hb with O2
• Curve is Sigmoid Shape due to +VE COOPERATIVITY
• Affinity for O2 lowest when first molecule binds ‘TENSE’ deoxyHb
• As each subsequent molecule binds, gradient of the curve ↑
• As PO2 ↑, all the Hb – O2 binding sites become occupied, and the curve levels off
• Important points on O2 – Hb Dissociation Curve
• Arterial Blood → 100mmHg; 97.5%
• ICU point → 60mmHg; 91%
• Mixed Venous Point → 40mmHg; 75%
• P50 → 26.6mmHg; 50%
• Arterial blood PO2 100mmHg = SpO2 100%
→ Carries 20mL O2 / 100mL blood
(tissue capillaries)
→ 5mL O2/100mL blood removed for aerobic metabolism
→ Mixed venous blood = 15mL/100mL blood PO2 = 40mmHg → SpO2 75%
• Different factors can ∆ position of the curve & P50 is used as a reference point for this
P50 = measure of O2 affinity
Arterial Blood
←L) Shift
↑pH
↓2,3 DPG
↑↓ Temp
↓PO2
R) Shift →
↓pH
↑2,3 DPG
↑Temp
↑PCO2
• BOHR EFFECT: at ↑PCO2 & low pH Hb has less affinity for O2 & offloads it easily
• OXYGEN SATURATION: the amount of O2 combined with Hb as a % of the maximum amount that can combine with Hb
• OXYGEN CONTENT: Total O2 in blood dissolved & bound to Hb
CaO2 = Dissolved O2 + OxyHb = (PO2 x 0.003) + ([Hb] x SpO2 x 1.34)
• OXYGEN FLUX: Rate of O2 delivery to the tissues
2 Flux (mL/min) = CO x CaO2
= (HR x SV) x [(PO2 x 0.003) + (Hb x SpO2 x 1.34)]
• Hb = 15mg/dL, SpO2 99%, CO 5L/min
• Flux usually 1L/min
• Resting O2 consumption is 250mL/min | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Converting a PowerShell Array into a .Net Framework ArrayList
I was writing a PowerShell script earlier today and needed to take some data I had in an array and put it into a .Net Framework ArrayList. It took me some searching online to find out how to do this so I thought I’d blog it here…
ArrayLists are a powerful way of managing data – one of their biggest advantages is that it is easy to manipulate data by adding or removing elements, as shown below. With default PowerShell arrays there is no simple way to remove elements.
To demonstrate how ArrayLists work, try this code:
$ArrayList = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$ArrayList.Add("New Element 1")
$ArrayList.Add("New Element 2")
$ArrayList.Count
$ArrayList.Remove("New Element 2")
$ArrayList.Count
Note that the return value from the Add method is the element number that was added. You can always cast this to void or pipe it to Out-Null if you don’t need it.
You can also specify where to add or remove elements:
$ArrayList.Add(0,"New Element 3") # Adds an element at the beginning of the array list
$ArrayList.RemoveAt(0) # Removes the first element
Anyway, back to the point... I had an array containing a list of files (which came from Get-ChildItem), and I wanted to create an ArrayList and populate this with that data, because I wanted to be able to remove each file from the list later on in the script. There are two approaches that can be used for this:
From an existing array:
$arrFiles = Get-ChildItem
$colFiles = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
$colfiles.AddRange($arrFiles)
Or more simply, populate the ArrayList directly:
$colFiles = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList(,(Get-ChildItem))
Note the comma within the parameters – the comma is the array construction operator in PowerShell.
Forgive my artistic license in choosing a title for this post – we’re not really converting an array as such, but I thought it would be the most likely thing somebody seeking this information would search for.

1. Oh wow, can’t thank you enough for this post.
I have a powershell script where I have an array about 1 million entries long. Periodically I wanted to shrink the array, and export it to a CSV in case of system crash/restart.
Trying to copy that array into another, one entry at a time was taking about 10 hours to. Ludicrous.
Instead, I used the array method above and setup a quick loop to cut through the elements I don’t want:
for($k= 0; $k -lt $SkipCount; $k++)
{
$FileList.RemoveAt(0)
}
This runs in a few seconds and makes this script far more manageable. Thanks again.
2. Nice post. For info you can also do it like this, which is slightly easier to remember syntax.
$colFiles = [System.Collections.ArrayList](Get-ChildItem)

SHARED_POOL_SIZE
Parallel execution requires memory resources in addition to those required by serial SQL execution. Additional memory is used for communication and passing data between query server processes and the query coordinator.
Oracle Database allocates memory for query server processes from the shared pool. Tune the shared pool as follows:
• Allow for other clients of the shared pool, such as shared cursors and stored procedures.
• Remember that larger values improve performance in multiuser systems, but smaller values use less memory.
• You can then monitor the number of buffers used by parallel execution and compare the shared pool PX msg pool to the current high water mark reported in output from the view V$PX_PROCESS_SYSSTAT.
Note:
If you do not have enough memory available, error message 12853 occurs (insufficient memory for PX buffers: current stringK, max needed stringK). This is caused by having insufficient SGA memory available for PX buffers. You must reconfigure the SGA to have at least (MAX - CURRENT) bytes of additional memory.
By default, Oracle Database allocates parallel execution buffers from the shared pool.
If Oracle Database displays the following error on startup, you should reduce the value for SHARED_POOL_SIZE low enough so your database starts:
ORA-27102: out of memory
SVR4 Error: 12: Not enough space
After reducing the value of SHARED_POOL_SIZE, you might see the error:
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 16084 bytes of shared memory
("SHARED pool","unknown object","SHARED pool heap","PX msg pool")
If so, execute the following query to determine why Oracle Database could not allocate the 16,084 bytes:
SELECT NAME, SUM(BYTES) FROM V$SGASTAT WHERE POOL='SHARED POOL'
GROUP BY ROLLUP (NAME);
Your output should resemble the following:
NAME SUM(BYTES)
-------------------------- ----------
PX msg pool 1474572
free memory 562132
2036704
If you specify SHARED_POOL_SIZE and the amount of memory you specify to reserve is bigger than the pool, Oracle Database does not allocate all the memory it can get. Instead, it leaves some space. When the query runs, Oracle Database tries to get what it needs. Oracle Database uses the 560 KB and needs another 16 KB when it fails. The error does not report the cumulative amount that is needed. The best way of determining how much more memory is needed is to use the formulas in "Required Memory for Message Buffers".
To resolve the problem in the current example, increase the value for SHARED_POOL_SIZE. As shown in the sample output, the SHARED_POOL_SIZE is about 2 MB. Depending on the amount of memory available, you could increase the value of SHARED_POOL_SIZE to 4 MB and attempt to start your database. If Oracle Database continues to display an ORA-4031 message, gradually increase the value for SHARED_POOL_SIZE until startup is successful.

Nyköpings Hockey
Nyköpings Hockeyklubb (English: Nyköping Hockey Club, often referred to as Nyköpings HK or Nyköpings Hockey) was an ice hockey club from Nyköping, Sweden, which last played in the Division 1, the third tier of ice hockey in Sweden. The club was founded in 1990 as IK Nyköping Hockey 90 (or NH90), formed through the merger of Nyköpings HL and the ice hockey section of Nyköpings BIS. The club was renamed IK Nyköpings Hockey in 2003, before being given its final name in 2007.
On 15 April 2014, after experiencing financial difficulties for several years, the club went bankrupt and ceased to exist.
Nyköpings BIS
Nyköpings BIS was formed in 1967 though the merger of Nyköpings AIK and Nyköpings SK, and merged as they often found themselves competing in the same division. After 1967, Nyköpings BIS played in the second-level league, Division 1, until the inauguration of the Elitserien as the new top flight of Swedish hockey in 1975. BIS didn't make it to the new slimmer second-level Division 1, and played in the now the third-tier Division 2 until the merger in 1990.
Nyköpings HK
In 1990, Nyköpings BIS was merged with Nyköpings Hockeylag (Nyköpings HL), created the club as it exists today, though at the time it was given the name Nyköping Hockey 90, or NH90. The newly founded club won their group in that season of Division 2, and—after playoffs and a promotion qualifier—was promoted to Division 1. During their division 1 seasons they used to end up in the middle or bottom of the league, having to play qualification rounds to remain in the league at some point, but when the new second-level league Allsvenskan Norra/Södra (north/south) was inaugurated in the 1999/2000 season, Nyköping became a top team.
They finished fourth in the fall season of the north league and made it to the Superallsvenskan after the New Year, a league for the eight best teams. It had been around since the 1982/83 season, previously called Allsvenskan, then too for the eight best division 1 teams, i.e. two teams each from the four division 1 groups (north, east, west and south). (Furthermore, from 1987/88 to 1995/96 it was played with ten teams, with the two last teams in the Elitserien by New Year joining as well.)
Nyköping avoided the two last spots and got to continue with playoffs for a possible Elitserien promotion and made it through both rounds and played in the final qualification league, kvalserien.
However, even before this season it had been questionable until not long at all before the start of the season whether the club would have the financial means to participate. They made it at the last moment and got a really good season, but the financial problems would more or less remain until the problems led all the way to relegation in 2008.
The team continued to often have good results in the league. They were promoted to the Superallsvenska after New Year in 2000/01 (winning the Allsvenskan Norra in the fall), 2001/02 and 2004/05. In the playoffs they made it all the way to the Kvalserien once more in 2004/05.
In the 2005/06 season the two Allsvenskan leagues were combined into one league, the present HockeyAllsvenskan with sixteen teams. The first season only the four best teams were promoted to the Kvalserien directly, Nyköping came in on 11th place. From the 2006/07 season a playoff was re-inaugurated, the top three teams are promoted to the Kvalserien directly, and the teams ranked 4 through 7 play each other in two playoff rounds for the fourth spot. Nyköping came in on the 7th spot and beat the 4th team, VIK Västerås HK, in the first playoff round, but lost in the next round to IF Björklöven.
In the 2007/08 season the financial situation in the club was really harsh, and a new board of the club fought persistently to get the affairs of the club in order to meet the financial demands for being approved to remain in the league. The team also fought for a long time in the bottom of the league, but finally made a 13th place, nine points ahead of the 15th team Huddinge IK, which then played in the qualification and relegation league and only came in third after two promoted teams from division 1, but would eventually be promoted on the relegation of Nyköping.
However, the financial situation was only solved almost all the way. Since the previous season the financial demands on clubs in Elitserien and HockeyAllsvenskan included the right to have a negative shareholders´ equity for one season, but not for two in a row. The club had a negative equity per April 30, 2007, and didn't manage to avoid the same thing also per April 30, 2008, and by these means, they did not meet up to all necessary demands to be approved to participate. The control board for these issues decided on June 11 that Nyköping could not be approved, and the Ice Hockey Association turned down an appeal from the club and decided on relegation on June 26. The club tried an appeal to the Riksidrottsnämnden (RIN), a deciding board within the National Sports Association. The RIN decided on July 17 that there were no formal faults in the decision made by the ice hockey association and that they would not look into the matter at all.
On 15 April 2014, after experiencing financial difficulties for several years, the club went bankrupt and ceased to exist. | WIKI |

Transport ETFs in Focus on FedEx Earnings Beat - ETF News And Commentary
The transport sector is one of the best performers in the market this year thanks to a reviving U.S. economy on improving retail, manufacturing and labor data. The positive trends in the economy suggest growing demand for movement of goods across many economic sectors.
Investors should note that transport is often considered a barometer of broad economic health as it grows when U.S. economic activity picks up. Further, the sector has a direct correlation with the retail and manufacturing numbers (read: Guide to Transportation ETF Investing ).
The optimism in the sector was further confirmed by the latest earnings report from bellwether FedEx ( FDX ).
FedEx Results in Focus
The courier company posted solid first quarter fiscal 2014 (ended August 31) results on growing customer demand across all segments.
Earnings per share of $1.53, not only surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4 cents, but also increased from the year-ago earnings of $1.45. Revenues grew 2% year over year to $11 billion.
While FedEx continues to be impacted by sluggish global economic growth, it remains focused on cost cutting measures in its FedEx Express unit. The FedEx Ground segment generated strong profitability in the quarter.
Further, the company maintained its full-year earnings growth guidance in the range of 7-13%. FedEx would likely raise its shipping rates by an average of 3.9% at its domestic express shipping business early next year. Additionally, pricing rise for the ground and SmartPost business will be implemented later this year. The series of price hike suggests a bullish outlook for the company and the overall transport space.
Market Impact
Following the earnings beat, shares of FDX hit a new 52-week high of $116.95 and climbed 5% at the close on elevated volume of roughly three times a normal day.
This solid run was also felt in the ETF world, with transportation ETFs surging. Currently, there are two ways to play the space with ETFs and both gained in the day's session (see: all the Industrials ETFs here ).
iShares Dow Jones Transportation Average Fund ( IYT )
This ETF tracks the Dow Jones Transportation Average Index, giving investors exposure to the small basket of 21 securities. The fund has accumulated $644.4 million in AUM while sees good volume of trading. It charges 46 bps in fees and expense.
FedEx occupies the third position in the basket with 8.02% of assets. The product is tilted towards the railroad at 30% while delivery service sector makes up for nearly 20% share.
IYT gained 1.51% on the day and has a Zacks ETF Rank of 1 or 'Strong Hold' with a 'Medium' risk outlook. This suggests that the ETF would outperform over the next one year (read: Top Ranked Transportation ETF in Focus ).
SPDR S&P Transportation ETF ( XTN )
This ETF follows the S&P Transportation Select Industry Index and has managed an asset base of $46.5 million. The fund charges 35 bps in fees per year from investors and trades in a light volume of just 12,000 share a day.
In total, the fund holds about 43 securities in its basket. Of these firms, FDX takes the fourth spot, making up 13.17% of the assets. The product is heavily exposed to trucking and airlines as these make up roughly 60% of the total while air freight & logistics accounts for 19% share (see more in the Zacks ETF Center ).
The fund added 0.91% on the day and currently has a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 or 'Hold' with a 'High' risk outlook.
Bottom Line
In fact, both ETFs have been on a tear, beating out broad markets in the year-to-date period. iShares and State Street products returned 27.24% and 34.01%, respectively, compared with the gain of 21.52% for SPDR S&P 500 ( SPY ) (read: Transport ETFs: Can the Surge Continue? ).
The stellar performance by FDX signals that the transport space would continue to surge given the improving U.S. economy and increasing investor confidence.

-- Rongsheng Heavy Seeks $2.3 Billion in Hong Kong IPO to Expand Shipbuilding
China Rongsheng Heavy Industries ,
China’s largest shipbuilder outside state control, is seeking
$2.3 billion in what may be Hong Kong’s third-largest initial
public offering this year, according to terms sent to investors. The company plans to sell 1.75 billion shares at HK$7.30 to
HK$10.10, the terms show. China National Offshore Oil Corp. ,
China Life Insurance (Group) Co. , China Southern Fund Management
Co. and Atlantis Investment Management Ltd. have agreed to buy a
combined $155 million of shares, according to the terms. Rongsheng intends to use the sale proceeds for projects
including building a fourth drydock as a rebound in world trade
following last year’s global recession revives demand for ships.
The company, which raised $300 million from investors including
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in 2007, planned to sell shares in 2008
before the failure of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and the
credit crunch triggered a collapse in global stock markets. “Orders for shipbuilding are improving and the industry is
on a rebound,” said Steven Leung , Hong Kong-based director for
institutional sales at UOB-Kay Hian Ltd. Still, demand for the
IPO will depend on the valuations, which are yet to be announced,
he said. BOC International Holdings Ltd. is arranging the sale,
along with CCB International (Holdings) Ltd., JPMorgan Chase &
Co. and Morgan Stanley, according to the terms sheet. Calls made to the office of Chen Qiang, Rongheng’s
president, went unanswered. AIA, AgriBank The Rongsheng sale will probably only trail IPOs by AIA
Group Ltd. and Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. in Hong Kong this
year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. AIA, which raised
$17.8 billion in the city’s largest-ever IPO, gained 17 percent
on its Oct. 29 trading debut. Agricultural Bank has risen 29
percent since its $10.4 billion IPO in July. Sixty-one companies have gone public in Hong Kong this year,
raising $40 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
More Chinese businesses, possibly including state-owned
enterprises, power companies and railways will likely follow
Rongsheng in selling shares, said Erwin Sanft , a Hong Kong-based
strategist at BNP Paribas SA. “There’ll still be mega-IPOs,” he said. “China is the
biggest emerging market and so you have a flow of money coming
in.” Rongsheng Orders Rongsheng also plans to use IPO funds to boost marine-
engine production and to increase capacity for making excavators.
The company had an order backlog of 88 vessels, or 15.9 million
deadweight tons, at the end of September, according to Clarkson
Plc. That included 11.19 million deadweight tons of dry-bulk
ships, or 58 vessels, the second-highest tally worldwide,
according to the shipbroker’s data. The shipyard delivered 10
vessels last year. Guangzhou Shipyard International Co., the largest shipyard
listed in Hong Kong, has gained 28 percent this year. It trades
at about 11 times estimated earnings. Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Ltd., the largest listed
Chinese shipyard outside state control, trades at a price to
estimated earnings ratio of about 13. The company , which raised
NT$3.76 billion ($123 million) selling depositary receipts in
Taiwan in September, has risen 58 percent this year in Singapore
trading. China Shipbuilding Industry Co. , the nation’s largest maker
of vessel equipment, raised 14.7 billion yuan ($2.2 billion) in
a Shanghai IPO in December. It’s gained 34 percent this year. Shipping lines have begun to resume ordering new vessels
after a plunge in demand during the global recession. Evergreen
Group and Neptune Orient Lines Ltd. , Asia’s two biggest
container lines, have ordered 32 new ships between them from
South Korean shipyards since June. To contact the reporters on this story:

170 tion of William W. Ellsworth, and sat again in that body in 1839-43. In 1849-50 he was governor of Connecticut. Yale gave him the degree of LL. D. in 1849. He was active in fostering public inter- nal improvements, and in many educational enter- prises. During his later life he was president of a railroad company.
TRUSDELL, Charles Gregory, clergyman, b. in Montgomery, N. Y., 1 May, 1826. When he was eight years of age his father died, and the boy's educational advantages were limited to the com- mon school and academy. In 1857, after working in mechanical and commercial pursuits, he felt called to preach. He ministered to Methodist con- gregations in Iowa, and in 1865 was appointed pre- siding elder of the Iowa City district. He was subsequently appointed pastor of the Grant place Methodist church of Chicago, where he preached till he was selected to superintend the distribu- tion of money and other relief that was sent from all parts of the world for the sufferers of the great Chicago fire of October, 1871. That fund amounted to nearly $5,000,000. All of this and the many thousand dollars that are annually contributed by the people of Chicago for the relief of the deserv- ing poor have been distributed, and a detailed ac- count of the same kept under the direction of Mr. Trusdell as general superintendent of the Chicago relief and aid society. From 1 Oct., 1871, to 31 Oct.. 1887, this amount was $6,486,999.45. In 1885 he was appointed presiding elder of the Chicago district of the Methodist church, and at the same time tendered his resignation as general superin- tendent, but it was not accepted.
TRUTCH, Joseph William, Canadian states- man, b. in Bath, England, 18 Jan., 1826. He was educated at Exeter, England, studied civil engi- neering under Sir John Rennie, removed to the Pacific coast in 1849, and till 1856 practised as a civil engineer in California and Oregon. He was subsequently assistant engineer on the Illinois and Michigan canal, and on the Illinois river improve- ment. In 1859 he removed to Victoria, British Co- lumbia, and till 1864 was employed in the con- struction of public works for the colony. Chief among these were the section through the cafion of Praser river, and the Grand Trunk railroad from Yale to Cariboo, including the Alexandria suspen- sion-bridge over Fraser river. He was chief com- missioner of lands and works and surveyor-general of British Columbia, and a member ex officio of the executive and legislative councils from 1864 till 1871, when British Columbia entered the Do- minion. He was a delegate to Ottawa in 1870 to confer with the government of Canada as to the terms upon which British Columbia could enter the confederation, and in 1871 to Ottawa and Lon- don to settle finally the details of the arrangements for the union. Mr. Trutch was appointed, 5 July. 1871, lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, and on 9 Dec, 1879, he became resident agent of the Canadian government in British Columbia. In 1877 he was appointed a companion of the order of St. Michael and St. George.
TRUXTUN, Thomas, naval officer, b. on Long Island, N. Y, 17 Feb., 1755; d. in Philadelphia, Pa., 5 May, 1822. He began a seafaring life when he was twelve years old, as an apprentice in the English packet " Pitt," and was impressed in Eng- land to serve in the frigate " Prudent," whence he obtained his discharge through friends. He de- clined the offer of a midshipman's warrant, served in the merchant marine, and quickly rose to com- mand. In 1775 he had charge of the "Andrew Caldwell," in which he brought large quantities of powder to Philadelphia. In the latter part of that year he was seized off St. Kitt's by the frigate " Argo," and his vessel was condemned under the restraining act. He made his way to Philadelphia, where he arrived in time to enter on board the " Congress "as a lieutenant. This was the first private armed ship that was fitted out by the colonies. In 1776 several prizes were taken off Ha- vana, one of which he took to New Bedford. In 1777 he aided in fitting out the ship " In- dependence." of which he took com- mand and cap- tured three large ships among other prizes off the Azores islands. One of these was much more pow- erfullyarmed than his own vessel. On his return he fitted out the ship " Mars," twenty guns, and made a cruise in the English channel, capturing many prizes, which he sent to France. He then com- manded the " Com merce " and other vessels, in which he brought needed cargoes of military stores for the army to Philadelphia. He had the ship "St. James" in 1781, and conveyed the U. S. consul-general to France, in this voyage disabling a British ship of thirty-two guns and returning with a valuable cargo. He was uniformly successful in all engagements with British vessels. After the war he commanded several East Indiamen. Upon the organization of the U. S. navy, he was selected as one of its six captains, 4 June, 1798, and assigned to command the frigate "Constellation," which was building at Baltimore. He was ordered with a squadron under his command to protect commerce in the West Indies, where he made numerous prizes. On 9 Feb., 1799, off Hen's island, he fell in with the French frigate "L'Insurgente," fifty guns, which was much more powerful than his own ship. An engagement ensued of more than an hour, when the enemy surrendered, a perfect wreck, after having twenty-nine of her crew killed and forty-four wounded. Truxtun lost one killed and two wounded. The prize was refitted and added to the navy. "For this brilliant victory the merchants of Lloyd's coffee-house, London, sent him a present of plate worth 600 guineas. In January, 1800, he had a severe encounter with the French frigate "La Vengeance," fifty guns, which surrendered after a long engagement ; but before Truxtun could secure the prize a squall came up and she escaped. For his gallantry in this action congress gave him a gold medal and a vote of thanks. .In the same year he commanded the frigate " President " and a squadron of ten vessels in the West Indies. In 1802 he was appointed to command the squadron that was fitting out for the Tripolitan war, and went to Norfolk to join the "Chesapeake." He then asked to have a captain appointed to command the flag-ship, which was declined, and Truxtun's letter was construed to mean his resignation, which was accepted contrary to his wishes. He resided in New Jersey on a farm after he left the service, and subsequently removed to Philadelphia, where he was sheriff of the county | WIKI |

* Rusty: I can do that!
* Cappie: Your fly's open.
* Officer Huck: I need your noise permit for the Vesuvius party.
* Cappie: Are you yankin' me? Since when does that rule get inforced?
* Officer Huck: Since I was hired.
* Cappie: Oh, okay. I get it. So uh, officer Huck. You look like you could use a little break. You wanna come in, we'll set you up with a nice cold beer? That's what Officer Bob always did. Where is good old Bob anyway?
* Officer Huck: Rehab
* Cappie: Oh.
Multiple Choice [1.7]
* Dale: All right, i need drugs. Who's got 'em?
* Cappie: Oh! Look at this! The Cartwright kids! You know, you two should band together and solve mysteries, fight crime! You've got the perfect name for it, there's a sketchy janitor who I think is up to something...
* Rusty: So i just need to decide what's right for me?
* Casey: Unfortunately, the hard part isn't choosing, it's living with the choice you make.
Separation Anxiety [1.8]
* Rusty: I think I'm ready to use the L-word with Jen.
* Cappie: That's a pretty bold move. What makes you think she's a lesbian, and is that a dealbreaker for you?
* Rusty: Not that L-word. I wanna tell her I love her.
* Cappie: Look, if you need to say "I love you", call your mom.
* Casey: During rush, I was actually close to taking a bid out of Tri Pi, and Ashleigh found out that one of the girls hated med and was gonna kick me out two weeks later, and she keyed the girls car.
* Evan: You never told me that.. Someone keyed my car this rush.
* Cappie: I had a little minx once. She was the fairest of all the forest creature. But I let her get away. [slaps himself] Bad Cappie!

Cappie: Your Honor, I object! Dean Bowman: To...? Cappie: Well... Jean shorts? Dane Cook, highly objectionable. Oh, and your complete and utter lack of presumption that we are innocent until proven guilty. No more questions (turns and points at Evan dramatically) your witness! Wade: Pre Law?

Mister Purr-fect [1.18]
Beaver: Hey, Cap. Cappie: Hey, what's going on? Rusty looks upset. Did Rebecca do something? Beaver: No, no. Rusty's upset because of... Science. Cappie: Science? Beaver: Yeah. He found out the guy who invented gravity just died. Isn't that sad? Cappie: Beav, Isaac Newton has been dead for like, 300 years. Beaver: Hehe, oh. I guess Rusty's not as smart as we thought.

Midnight Clear [4.7]
* Ashleigh: What do you want, Cap?
* Cappie: well, I want us to be friends. Look, I know that you and Casey aren't talking, and I hope I wasn't the cause of that by suggesting you take that job here at Dobler's. It was a stupid thing to say because I think you're way too good for crappy job like that.
* Ashleigh: I meant what do you want to drink? (shows him tray of drinks)
* Cappie: (chuckles nervously) Did I say crappy? I meant good.
Legacy [4.10]
* Professor Morreti: For your final, I just have one question: why?
* Cappie: Because you're lazy? No, I'm just joking. Well, the first thing you asked us at the beginning of the semester was why are we here. Well, I thought about that a lot. We all have a purpose, and our purpose is to figure out our purpose. That's what college is. So, why college? Why CRU? The truth is I chose CRU because a friend of mine from camp was going here, then I chose to rush a fraternity and I made new friends, and college has been everything I ever could've imagined it to be. So I kept thinking, why would I ever want to leave this place? But then I realized that there's so much left to learn and experience and look forward to, and now I'm graduating...hopefully, and heading out into the real world with the love of my life, who was my purpose. So, today I'm here to graduate, and tomorrow? Well, it's hard to say because I have no idea where I'll be. | WIKI |

the case with the small pectens, the mactræ, and the left-turned whelk.
From the excellent state of preservation in which many of these shells have been found, it has been thought that they could hardly be regarded as fossil. Many acknowledged fossil shells however have undergone much less changes than those of this stratum; the coloured markings are entirely discharged, and the external surfaces are deeply penetrated with a strong ferruginous stain; the inner surfaces also are considerably changed, their resplendence being superseded, to a considerable depth, by a dead whiteness, the consequence of the decomposition of this part of the shell.
Like the fossils of most other strata this assemblage of shells manifests a peculiar distinctive character. A few shells only, which may be placed among those which are supposed to be lost, or among those which are the inhabitants of distant seas, are here discoverable; the greater number appearing not to differ specifically, as far as their altered state will allow of determining, from the recent shells of the neighbouring sea.
Among those, of which no recent analogue is known, appears to be the terebratula, figured in Dale's History and Antiquities of Harwich, &c. tab. XI. fig. 9. p. 294, and described, Phil. Trans. No. 291, p. 1578. Mr. Dale describes this shell as Concha longa fossilis fasciata, and remarks that he has not observed “ either in Aldrovandus, Rondeletius, Belonius, Gesner, Johnson, Lister, or Bonanus, any shell that resembles this our fossil, unless it is one of those figured by Lachmund, p. 43, No. 6 and 7, the inward part resembling our fossil.“ The shells figured by Lachmund are undoubtedly terebratulæ, but they manifest no particular agreement with this fossil.
This shell appears to be figured by Lister, ''Histor. Conchyl. tab.'' | WIKI |

systemd-udevd.service, systemd-udevd-control.socket, systemd-udevd-kernel.socket, systemd-udevd - Device event managing daemon
SYNOPSIS
systemd-udevd.service
systemd-udevd-control.socket
systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd [--daemon] [--debug] [--children-max=] [--exec-delay=] [--event-timeout=] [--resolve-names=early|late|never] [--version] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-udevd listens to kernel uevents. For every event, systemd-udevd executes matching instructions specified in udev rules. See udev(7).
The behavior of the daemon can be configured using udev.conf(5), its command line options, environment variables, and on the kernel command line, or changed dynamically with udevadm control.
OPTIONS
-d, --daemon
Detach and run in the background.
-D, --debug
Print debug messages to standard error.
-c, --children-max=
Limit the number of events executed in parallel.
-e, --exec-delay=
Delay the execution of each RUN{program} parameter by the given number of seconds. This option might be useful when debugging system crashes during coldplug caused by loading non-working kernel modules.
-t, --event-timeout=
Set the number of seconds to wait for events to finish. After this time, the event will be terminated. The default is 180 seconds.
-s, --timeout-signal=
Set the signal which systemd-udevd will send to forked off processes after reaching event timeout. The setting can be overridden at boot time with the kernel command line option udev.timeout_signal=. Setting to SIGABRT may be helpful in order to debug worker timeouts. Defaults to SIGKILL. Note that setting the option on the command line overrides the setting from the configuration file.
-N, --resolve-names=
Specify when systemd-udevd should resolve names of users and groups. When set to early (the default), names will be resolved when the rules are parsed. When set to late, names will be resolved for every event. When set to never, names will never be resolved and all devices will be owned by root.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
KERNEL COMMAND LINE
Parameters prefixed with "rd." will be read when systemd-udevd is used in an initrd, those without will be processed both in the initrd and on the host.
udev.log_level=, rd.udev.log_level=
Set the log level.
udev.children_max=, rd.udev.children_max=
Limit the number of events executed in parallel.
udev.exec_delay=, rd.udev.exec_delay=
Delay the execution of each RUN{program} parameter by the given number of seconds. This option might be useful when debugging system crashes during coldplug caused by loading non-working kernel modules.
udev.event_timeout=, rd.udev.event_timeout=
Wait for events to finish up to the given number of seconds. This option might be useful if events are terminated due to kernel drivers taking too long to initialize.
udev.timeout_signal=, rd.udev.timeout_signal=
Specifies a signal that systemd-udevd will send to workers on timeout. Note that kernel command line option overrides both the setting in the configuration file and the one on the program command line.
udev.blockdev_read_only, rd.udev.blockdev_read_only
If specified, mark all physical block devices read-only as they appear. Synthetic block devices (such as loopback block devices or device mapper devices) are left as they are. This is useful to guarantee that the contents of physical block devices remains unmodified during runtime, for example to implement fully stateless systems, for testing or for recovery situations where corrupted file systems shall not be corrupted further through accidental modification.
A block device may be marked writable again by issuing the blockdev --setrw command, see blockdev(8) for details.
net.ifnames=
Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible. It is enabled by default; specifying 0 disables it.
net.naming-scheme=
Network interfaces are renamed to give them predictable names when possible (unless net.ifnames=0 is specified, see above). With this kernel command line option it is possible to pick a specific version of this algorithm and override the default chosen at compilation time. Expects one of the naming scheme identifiers listed in systemd.net-naming-scheme(7), or "latest" to select the latest scheme known (to this particular version of systemd-udevd.service).
Note that selecting a specific scheme is not sufficient to fully stabilize interface naming: the naming is generally derived from driver attributes exposed by the kernel. As the kernel is updated, previously missing attributes systemd-udevd.service is checking might appear, which affects older name derivation algorithms, too.
net.ifname-policy=policy1[,policy2,...][,MAC]
Specifies naming policies applied when renaming network interfaces. Takes a list of policies and an optional MAC address separated with comma. Each policy value must be one of the policies understood by the NamePolicy= setting in .link files, e.g. "onboard" or "path". See systemd.link(5) for more details. When the MAC address is specified, the policies are applied to the interface which has the address. When no MAC address is specified, the policies are applied to all interfaces. This kernel command line argument can be specified multiple times.
This argument is not directly read by systemd-udevd, but is instead converted to a .link file by systemd-network-generator.service(8). For this argument to take effect, systemd-network-generator.service must be enabled.
Example:
net.ifname-policy=keep,kernel,path,slot,onboard,01:23:45:67:89:ab
net.ifname-policy=keep,kernel,path,slot,onboard,mac
This is mostly equivalent to creating the following .link files:
# 91-name-policy-with-mac.link
[Match]
MACAddress=01:23:45:67:89:ab
[Link]
NamePolicy=keep kernel path slot onboard
AlternativeNamePolicy=path slot onboard
and
# 92-name-policy-for-all.link
[Match]
OriginalName=*
[Link]
NamePolicy=keep kernel path slot onboard mac
AlternativeNamePolicy=path slot onboard mac

光和末，黃巾起. 拜騎都尉，討潁川賊. 遷為濟南相，國有十餘縣，長吏多阿附貴戚，贓汙狼藉，於是奏免其八；禁斷淫祀，奸宄逃竄，郡界肅然. ==== 魏書曰：長吏受取貪饕，依倚貴勢，曆前相不見舉；聞太祖至，咸皆舉免，小大震怖，奸宄遁逃，竄入他郡. 政教大行，一郡清平. 初，城陽景王劉章以有功於漢，故其國為立祠，青州諸郡轉相仿效，濟南尤盛，至六百餘祠. 賈人或假二千石輿服導從作倡樂，奢侈日甚，民坐貧窮，曆世長吏無敢禁絕者. 太祖到，皆毀壞祠屋，止絕官吏民不得祠祀. 及至秉政，遂除奸邪鬼神之事，世之淫祀由此遂絕. 久之，徵還為東郡太守；不就，稱疾歸鄉里. 魏書曰：於是權臣專朝，貴戚橫恣. 太祖不能違道取容. 數數幹忤，恐為家禍，遂乞留宿衛. 拜議郎，常讬疾病，輒告歸鄉里；築室城外，春夏習讀書傳，秋冬弋獵，以自娛樂.
頃之，冀州刺史王芬、南陽許攸、沛國周旌等連結豪傑，謀廢靈帝，立合肥侯，以告太祖，太祖拒之. 芬等遂敗. ==== 司馬彪九州春秋曰：於是陳蕃子逸與術士平原襄楷會於芬坐，楷曰：“天文不利宦者，黃門、常侍（貴）族滅矣. ”逸喜. 芬曰：“若然者，芬原驅除. ”於是與攸等結謀. 靈帝欲北巡河間舊宅，芬等謀因此作難，上書言黑山賊攻劫郡縣，求得起兵. 會北方有赤氣，東西竟天，太史上言“當有陰謀，不宜北行”，帝乃止. 敕芬罷兵，俄而徵之. 芬懼，自殺. 魏書載太祖拒芬辭曰：“夫廢立之事，天下之至不祥也. 古人有權成敗、計輕重而行之者，伊尹、霍光是也. 伊尹懷至忠之誠，據宰臣之勢，處官司之上，故進退廢置，計從事立. 及至霍光受讬國之任，藉宗臣之位，內因太后秉政之重，外有群卿同欲之勢，昌邑即位日淺，未有貴寵，朝乏讜臣，議出密近，故計行如轉圜，事成如摧朽. 今諸君徒見曩者之易，未睹當今之難. 諸君自度，結眾連党，何若七國？合肥之貴，孰若吳、楚？而造作非常，欲望必克，不亦危乎！”
金城邊章、韓遂殺刺史郡守以叛，眾十餘萬，天下騷動. 徵太祖為典軍校尉. 會靈帝崩，太子即位，太后臨朝. 大將軍何進與袁紹謀誅宦官，太后不聽. 進乃召董卓，欲以脅太后，==== 魏書曰：太祖聞而笑之曰：“閹豎之官，古今宜有，但世主不當假之權寵，使至於此. 既治其罪，當誅元惡，一獄吏足矣，何必紛紛召外將乎？欲盡誅之，事必宣露，吾見其敗也. ”卓未至而進見殺. 卓到，廢帝為弘農王而立獻帝，京都大亂. 卓表太祖為驍騎校尉，欲與計事. 太祖乃變易姓名，間行東歸. 魏曰：太祖以卓終必覆敗，遂不就拜，逃歸鄉里. 從數騎過故人成皋呂伯奢；伯奢不在，其子與賓客共劫太祖，取馬及物，太祖手刃擊殺數人. 世語曰：太祖過伯奢. 伯奢出行，五子皆在，備賓主禮. 太祖自以背卓命，疑其圖己，手劍夜殺八人而去. 孫盛雜記曰：太祖聞其食器聲，以為圖己，遂夜殺之. 既而悽愴曰：“甯我負人，毋人負我！”遂行. 出關，過中牟，為亭長所疑，執詣縣，邑中或竊識之，為請得解. 世語曰：中牟疑是亡人，見拘於縣. 時掾亦已被卓書；唯功曹心知是太祖，以世方亂，不宜拘天下雄俊，因白令釋之. 卓遂殺太后及弘農王. 太祖至陳留，散家財，合義兵，將以誅卓. 冬十二月，始起兵於己吾，世語曰：陳留孝廉衛茲以家財資太祖，使起兵，眾有五千人. 是歲中平六年也.

布曰：「如父子何?」曰：「君自姓呂, 本非骨肉. 今憂死不暇, 何謂父子? 擲戟之時, 豈有父子情也?」布遂許之, 乃於門刺殺卓, 事已見卓傳. 允以布爲奮威將軍, 假節, 儀同三司, 封溫侯.
Lu said "Dong is my father, how can I do such a thing" "Lu's surname is Lu, so you and he is not related in a strict sense, Now you have under the threat of death by Dong, how could you call him a father. When he threw you that weapon, he cerainly had not any feel of beiing of father.
At last, Lu agreed to participate Wang's scheme; and slashed and killed Dong at the gate. these accident was explained earlier in Dong Zhuo biography. (23 Apri 192)
Wang made Lu 奮威將軍, 假節, 儀同三司 and made him become 溫侯. | WIKI |

Foods and Moods
The key to understanding the connection between the food we eat and our mood and level of alertness, lies in knowing a little about how the brain functions. The brain communicates by chemical substances passed from one nerve cell to the next. These chemicals, called neurotransmitters, are made in the brain from the food we eat. The neurotransmitters, that are most sensitive to diet and influencing the mood are serotonin, not epinephrine and dopamine.
Dopamine and nor epinephrine are alertness chemicals. When they are produced we think and react more quickly, we feel more motivated, we are more attentive and overall, we are more mentally energetic. Serotonin is a calming and relaxing chemical. When produced, feelings of stress and tension decrease.
Now that you have a better understanding of the role neurotransmitters play in brain function, let’s look at the relationship between these neurotransmitters and the foods we eat.
Foods that make you feel alert: The best way to eat for alertness is to have meals that contain protein, are low in fat, and have carbohydrates that won’t drag you down. In the afternoon your brain’s supply of dopamine and nor epinephrine begins to wane.
When you supply the tyrosine (from eating protein), your brain will be ready to make it into more of the two alertness neurotransmitters (dopamine and nor epinephrine). Please do not avoid carbohydrates, as it is your main source of energy, especially the B group which is the energy-giving vitamin. Therefore, have a combination of complex carbohydrates, fibre (vegetables and salads) and a bit of protein. Some healthy protein-packed foods are: fish, sprouts, nuts, pulses, low fat paneer, skim or low-fat milk, low-fat yoghurt.
Lemons: The smell of lemons can induce the feeling of alertness. So, add lemon to all your food.
Apples, nachni, rajma, and broccoli: These foods contain boron, which is responsible for hand-eye co-ordination, attention and short-term memory. Boron-rich foods also maintain healthy bone and blood-sugar levels.
Foods that make you feel energetic for a longer time as they are low in glycemic index:
Low-glycemic carbohydrates: Brown rice, sweet potato, nachni, bajra, oats.
High-glycemic carbohydrates should be avoided: Sugar, white bread, rice cakes, wheat crackers, bagel, instant rice, rice, pasta.
Foods that make you smart: Prunes — they contain twice the antioxidants of most other fruits. Antioxidant-rich diets disable reactive oxygen molecules linked to memory loss and mental deterioration. They prevent mood swings. As they are low in glycematic index, they supply energy for a longer time. They are also high in fibre, prevent constipation, maintain blood pressure levels being high in potassium and an excellent source of iron. Low iron causes fatigue. Look for California prunes as they have no sugar added.
Foods that make you feel energised: Oranges, apples, and yoghurt — these foods are slow digesting carbohydrates and can supply a steady source of fuel for your body. Sunflower seeds contain magnesium which helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, and keeps heart rhythm steady and bones strong. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Just a handful of sunflower seeds will give you half of your daily magnesium needs.
Foods that make you happy:
Bananas: Bananas contain vitamin B6, which is known to build serotonin levels. They contain no fat, and are available everywhere.
Nuts:Walnuts (Kashmiri) are high in antioxidants, omega 3 fatty acids, prevent ageing, and are excellent sources of vitamin E.
Pistachios (Californian) are low in glycemic index, high in vitamin B and fibre, low in fat and maintain blood sugar levels. Almonds are high in antioxidants and vitamin E.
Dark chocolate: This treat releases pleasure-enhancing endorphins into the brain and also contains phenyl ethylamine, a stimulant associated with love. Hence, it makes you feel good. The higher the content of cocoa, the better you feel. It’s cocoa which contains the chemicals and so head for the darkest chocolate.
While all of the above will help you feel better throughout the day, there are also foods you should avoid if you find that you’re feeling sluggish more often than you’d like.
Water: At least eight glasses a day is the highest pick-me-up. Many times fatigue is related to thirst and not hunger. So, reach out for water. Avoid large, high-fat meals. Fats stay in the stomach longer, diverting blood away from your brain, muscles, and other tissues, which in turn can make you feel sluggish for up to six hours.
Have at least one iron-rich food per day. Iron helps transport oxygen to your tissues. Good sources of iron include prunes Don’t eat too little. A low caloric intake leads to fatigue and irritation.
Watch your intake of alcohol and coffee. Alcohol is a sedative that can also cause dehydration. Coffee can pep you up in the short term, but can cause you to drop like a ton of bricks later on.
Avoid white sugar and white flour. It leeches the body of Vitamin B and calcium, causes constipation, and white sugar causes restlessness, lack of concentration and a quick feeling of fatigue.

• QtWebKitRelease20Deployment
v1 v1
1= Work items for the deployment of !QtWebKit 2.x as a package separate from Qt =
2== Requirements ==
3 * The distribution of the release should be available in both source and binaries
4 * A Qt user should be able to use the 2.x release as a replacement of the one shiped with their Qt SDK (at least for 4.6 and 4.7)
5 * Components in Qt itself should use the new !QtWebKit (e.g. declarative and assistant)
6 * It should be transparent to use the 2.x release with an application using the {{{QT += webkit}}} directive in their .pro file
7 * Binary packages should probably be installed on Windows using an installation program
8
9== Deployment mechanism ==
10There is two way of replacing !QtWebKit in a Qt SDK (until Qt discouple itself completely from !QtWebKit):
11 * Replace the !QtWebKit sources:
12 * Replace the content of {{{src/3rdparty/webkit}}} with the source package of !QtWebKit 2.0
13 * (re-)configure and (re-)compile Qt
14 * Replace the !QtWebKit binaries:
15 * Compile/download binaries of Qt
16 * Compile/download binaries of !QtWebKit 2.x
17 * Install the binaries, headers and .prl of !QtWebKit 2.x over the ones in the Qt installation directory
18
19== Limitations ==
20=== Limitation of the sources replacement mechanism ===
21 * This might cause problems for people using Git. These people should be able to compile and install their own binaries anyway.
22=== Limitation of the binary replacement mechanism ===
23 * Recompiling or uninstalling Qt might present problems
24 * Reinstalling or recompiling Qt might leave extra headers from !QtWebKit 2.x in the include/QtWebKit directory
25 * Uninstalling might leave files and might cause problems especially if !QtWebKit is also installed using a NSInstall application
26 * Because of the reasons above it will be tedious for the user to revert to the version of !QtWebKit that was shipped with Qt.
27
28== Possible issues and questions to answer ==
29 * What will be the supported mechanism to deploy !QtWebKit 2.0, source replacement? binary replacement? both?
30 * Should !QtWebKit 2.0 be installed using an installation application on Windows? Qt itself don't have one, the Qt SDK has one, and !QtWebKit will still be shipped with the SDK in the future. So how do we want to support the installation of this module '''until''' we have an official module installation mechanism?
31 * Qt 4.7 now includes Qml which links against !QtWebKit. We should think about how we will discouple it from !QtWebKit in future versions[[BR]]Compared to assistant which we wanted to distribute with Qt SDK but should still be easy to get out of the Qt repository once !QtWebKit gets out.
32 * Any possible issues regarding linux distributions packaging? There will be common file paths between Qt and !QtWebKit 2.x.
33 * How about freezing the API around a Qt SDK but allowind update of the !QtWebKit runtime? This would make the installation/upgrade/uninstallation easier.[[BR]]Then we would just need to update the dynamic libraries and to get the latest API we could provide a less official mechanism than {{{QT += webkit}}}[[BR]]Example including a .pri file in your application that would do something like:
34{{{
35QT -= webkit
36INCLUDES += $$PWD/include/QtWebKit
37LIBS += -L$$PWD/lib
38LIBS += -lqtwebkit

North Moor is a nationally important grazing marsh and ditch system on the Somerset Levels and Moors. A range of neutral grassland types supporting common and scarce plants has developed mainly due to variations in soils and management practices. Aquatic plant communities are exceptionally diverse with good populations of nationally scarce species. The site has special interest in its bird life.
North Moor was flooded during the Winter flooding of 2013–14 on the Somerset Levels. | WIKI |
Brief Introduction of Public Broadcasting System - Guangzhou DSPPA Audio Co., Ltd.

Brief Introduction of Public Broadcasting System
Because of the limited sound energy produced by natural sound sources (such as voice speech, singing, musical instrument playing, sound reproduction, etc.), the sound pressure level decreases with the increase of propagation distance, and the influence of environmental noise, the propagation distance of sound sources is greatly limited. Therefore, in public places, we must use electronic technology - sound amplification system to amplify the sound source signal, improve the sound pressure level in the audience area, and ensure that each audience can get the appropriate sound pressure level.
IP PA system is a system engineering, which requires close cooperation of many disciplines, such as electronic technology, electroacoustic technology, sound construction technology and acoustic art. The sound effect of public broadcasting system is not only related to the comprehensive performance of electro-acoustic system, but also closely related to the sound transmission environment, architectural acoustics and the use of on-site tuning. Therefore, the final effect of public broadcasting system needs the best cooperation of correct and reasonable electro-acoustic system design and debugging, good sound transmission conditions and correct on-site tuning technology, which complement each other. In the system design, the above problems must be considered comprehensively. On the basis of choosing the electro-acoustic equipment with good performance, through careful system design, careful system debugging and good sound construction conditions, the electro-acoustic pleasant and natural sound effect can be achieved. IP PA system, i.e. digital network public broadcasting system, adopts IP Audio technology. It transmits audio signals in the form of standard IP packets in LAN and WAN. It is a bidirectional audio amplification system for pure digital network transmission.

And so one horde will go to defend the old Holy Church, and another horde will go to defend the truth of the law of God., And another shall go defending the orders of God., And another horde shall go defending the common good so that the poor people cease being exploited., And there shall go princes and kings to defend their fatherland so that their dominion may not cease.,
All of them lead wars against each other for the love of power and glory in the world. And all the peradventurers of these hordes call themselves Christians, and all pray alike to God saying, "our Father who art in heaven." They all pray for the destruction of the rest, believing that they serve the cause of God when they shed their enemies' blood. And they all say the same old words, "Forgive us as we forgive them" And yet every army conscripts and assembles, not intending in the least to forgive.
Their prayers are, indeed, a great blasphemy against God. And they are contrary to the admonition of Paul to pray for all. Every one of these hordes thinks illogically; each one is getting ready to war against the others, not The Papal armies.

What Is So Fascinating About Define Quantum Mechanics?
The Debate Over Define Quantum Mechanics
Occasionally, you might be asked to devote an additional shift or two during weekends and national holidays in order to fulfill research deadlines. By doing a computation on several distinct numbers simultaneously, then interfering the results to find a single answer, a quantum computer has the capacity to be significantly more powerful than a classical computer of the exact size. A superb case of this type of artificial quantum method is a quantum computer.
Quantum entanglement is a significant property that we’re in a place to exploit for any wide assortment of purposes, including for the absolute best lock-and-key security system. The system is wholly interactive with itself. https://termpaperwriter.org Take for instance, the notion that the data in a conscious system has to be unified.
Likewise, zero-point energy isn’t nothing. In reality, plenty of quantum computers want to get kept to near absolute zero temperatures. Then it becomes a specific particle in a certain space and time.
What Define Quantum Mechanics Is – and What it Is Not
The quantum teleportation procedure is described in the next 6 steps. Draw a diagram if it’ll be in a position to assist you work out the issue or equation. The observation is going to result in a collapse of the wave function.
To me, although the present system of measurement and verification is genuinely moving in the right direction, it has a gigantic portion missing. A tremendous number is essential for defining the quantum field in order to spell out the mechanism of Quantum Theory. The variety of receptors required on the top layer of the dot is small in comparison to the surface region of the dot itself.
Define Quantum Mechanics
The notion of quantum computing is still quite new. http://africa.ufl.edu/african-languages/afli/ Do that, and you’ll encounter quantum physics a whole lot simpler to comprehend. Studying quantum theory is currently respectable again.
If you’d like to see quantum indeterminacy on the macroscale, you’ll need to totally isolate the thing you’re observing from the rest of the part of the universe. Likewise the subject of quantum optics has expanded enormously over the last ten decades. The term quantum means discreetness.
It is believed to be absolutely the most fundamental science as it offers a foundation for the remainder of the sciences. For instance, the behaviour of microscopic objects described in quantum mechanics is quite different from our everyday experience, which might provoke some level of incredulity. It is likely to trigger global efforts in exactly the same direction.
Granted, there are many facets that result in obesity. Further developments by several scientists over the next thirty years resulted in the modern comprehension of quantum theory. Just as there are various types of liquids, there are plenty of forms of consciousness, he states.
The Argument About Define Quantum Mechanics
Some success was achieved by means of college assignment help qubits in intense magnetic fields, with the usage of ions. An electron cloud is a place of space in which an electron will probably be found. The smallest quantity of energy that may be emitted or absorbed in the shape of electromagnetic radiation is called quantum.
Normally quanta are thought to be discrete packets with energy stored inside them. You would believe that electrons would be simple enough to describe. Particles related within this fashion are quantum mechanically entangled with each other.
Define Quantum Mechanics Options
A stop is, undoubtedly, the best vital portion of the argumentative essay given that you could retain the magnificent idea or eliminate it entirely. A whole lot of essays have aspects that are shared and nearly all them have the specific structure, therefore theoretically, you have to have the ability to finish any sort of essay working with just just a little bit of assistance. It may be advisable to discover whether there are any sample essays that you’re in a place to refer to manage the topic offered to you.
In science, a bit of information is believed to have two possible answers. It’s not easy to answer the issue of the way in which the brain stores information. It’s challenging to procure an answer that bad.
Vital Pieces of Define Quantum Mechanics
Quantum Life Coaching is an effective way for anybody to see themselves in a new light, a manner of motivating the greatest in someone. You will likewise have the capacity to acquire in touch with me with questions and or problems you may be having and have the ability to acquire hold of your classmates. In case you were cheated upon, it’s exceedingly improbable that you’re likely to be in a place to trust and love your girl how you used to, therefore there’s no use in getting back to her.
Define Quantum Mechanics at a Glance
The specific same approach might be used for any other question in the Physics HSC to develop the best answer possible to maximise the marks it is possible to get. One particular important aspect in the present models of the universe is known as the cosmological constant. Several causes lead to unique results.
Science is about experiments and predictions. Quantum thoery is merely a new method of studying the world. It is a place of science where the most important objective is to comprehend the way the universe behaves.
The New Fuss About Define Quantum Mechanics
Therefore, if you believe that you’re rich, you will acquire rich. Regardless, it isn’t space but a whole overall look of space. Thus neutral atoms supply the advantage of scalability and a far better overall performance.

Po Ganuhpatih
Po Ganuhpatih (died 1730) was a King of the Panduranga Kingdom of Champa (in Vietnamese, Thuân Thành) who ruled from 1728 to 1730. His name is also spelt Po Ganvich da Patih.
Po Ganuhpatih was a grandson of the former king Po Saktiraydapatih, who was at least in his seventies when he passed away. The old king is known to have had at least three sons who served as hau (village lords), but if they were alive at his demise they had no claim to make. After Po Saktiraydapatih's demise, a revolt against Vietnamese overlordship broke out among the Chams of Phan Rí. The background of the resistance may be the influx of Viet settlers and the cultural discrimination of the Chams. The Nguyễn lord Nguyễn Phúc Trú dispatched a military force that reestablished control. In order to reinforce Viet presence, he enjoined more settlers to move to Champa, thus intensifying the rivalty for land and resources.
The role of Po Ganuhpatih in these events is not known in detail. He passed away already in 1730 and was succeeded, after a brief interregnum, by his distant kinsman Po Thuntiraidaputih. | WIKI |
tilt-craze-hits-college-campuses
Crowdfunding sites are on the rise, and Tilt, one of the newest, has been making a splash on college campuses. Designed to raise funds for any personal goal, from charity events to Chinese food take-out, Tilt, launched in 2012, has seen a 57% growth month over month on campuses, according to Natassia Costa, public relations manager of the company. And college students, she notes, are its biggest demographic. Costa says the largest Tilt run on a campus to date was at Wake Forest University; the university raised $250,000 to name a fine arts center after a professor. I like how flexible the app is, Dorflinger says. There are no minimums, and contributors are able to donate either the suggested amount, or however much they can afford at any given time. Perhaps one reason for its success with students: Compared to other crowdfunding sites, Tilt seems to have the lowest fees. Both Kickstarter, for instancewhich focuses on creative projectscharges a 5% fee as does GoFundMe. Indiegogo charges a 9% fee, though if you reach your goal, that drops to 4%. Tilt, on the other hand, is free for contributors using debit cards, and charges a 3% processing fee for credit cards. To use Tilt, set the minimum amount necessary to achieve your goal, also known as the Tilt amount, and use the sites's sharing tools to help collect funds. Its website says that you can get the funds in one business day. Like other reputable crowdfunding sites, if you have to cancel for whatever reason, no one has to worry about not getting their money back, Costa says. At UT-Austin, 5,000 students have collected $500,000 using Tilt, according to Costa. Dorflinger says over the past two years, his fraternity raised over $40,000 for Susan G. Komen. He says a large part of that contribution came from students purchasing benefit concert tickets through Tilt. Ryan Acomb, a senior at the University of Mississippi, says he prefers to use the app for personal things. In the name of being honest, the first thing I tried to tilt for was a keg party, Acomb says. After that I began to use it to split the bills. Some students, however, say they prefer to use more well-established outlets, like Kickstarter, for fundraising because they are skeptical about the recently made app. People want to donate their money to someone they trust, through a platform they trust, says UT-Austin sophomore Tasnim Akhtar. Kickstarter has more credibility I think. But Acomb says he has no hesitations: Tilt works really well. … One of my good friends put a tilt together to raise money for a Mardi Gras party, and it hit $2,130 in less than a day.
