Conan the Barbarian: The Official Story of the Film
Conan The Barbarian: The Official Story of the Film is the sixth book by John Walsh published August 8, 2023. This is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the 1982 film Conan The Barbarian, directed by John Milius and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This large format coffee table-style book tells the story of how the original stories based on the Robert E. Howard series were adapted for cinema audiences.
Overview
The Hollywood Reporter first announced the book on June 21, 2022, as part of a wider rights deal with Conan rights holder for reissues of comic books and novels based on the character by Robert E Howard with British publisher Titan Books.
Starburst Magazine discussed the materials found, including "artwork from the legendary Frank Frazetta is presented beautifully in full-page reproductions that show how the character was envisaged for the sixties book covers. Other stunning illustrations come from production designer Ron Cobb’s paintings and illustrations that helped the film look so distinctive. Likewise, all aspects of the film’s creation – and those that made the magic come alive – are covered with some rare reproductions of sketches and the like."
Empire Magazine summarises the book's account of what could have been made with the film’s original director. "The first attempt to bring the character to screen came in the late 1970s, when Oliver Stone first wrote a screenplay. Little of that script, written in a 'drug-fever dream', actually made it to the screen, but in Walsh's telling, it sounds wild: Stone conceived of Conan battling a Dante's Inferno-esque army of 20,000 pig mutants, insect demons, 'hyena heads', and more. His version would have cost $100 million - an unthinkable budget at the time.”"
The Spanish language review site Negativa mentions the European locations uncovered by the book. John Walsh's book, as expected, comes to us full of information about the filming of the film, whose production was moved to Spain after a failed attempt to film in Yugoslavia, but he does very well in starting by putting the character in context.
Borg.com noted the book includes interviews with Schwarzenegger, Stone, Milius, and Raffaella De Laurentiis.
Blazing Minds commented on the book’s physical design: “The dust cover looks amazing with its art, and underneath that is a faux leather look cover brandishing a shiny silver sword.”
SciFi Bulletin discussed the book’s chapter on the original unmade film planned by Oliver Stone. “We learn about the years taken to develop the movie at one stage Oliver Stone wrote an ‘unfilmable’ drug-fuelled script.”
Horror Cult Film focussed on the part traditional visual effects played in the film’s production. "But we also get a lot that very few will have seen; the “old school” special effects lover in me really loved pictures showing the combining of models and matte paintings, some of which I’d never realised were actually models and matte paintings because they were so good."
SciFi Pulse looked at the impracticalities of Oliver Stone's original screenplay. "“Stone’s screenplay was never viewed as filmable as it was very much ahead of its time with Orcs and many of the fantasy staples that moviegoers would not get to see until the 2000s in The Lord of The Rings trilogy.”"
Forces of Geek said the book gives "fascinating insights into the development of one of the best-loved fantasy films of the 1980s.” | WIKI |
Depression In Adults With Asperger’s
A large number of adults with Asperger's also suffer from depression
Depression in adults with Asperger’s is more common than we think
A comprehensive new analysis of past and current research found that 40 percent of adults with Asperger’s (Autism Spectrum Disorder) are depressed or have been depressed at some point in their lifetime. Depression is the most frequent condition that coexists with Asperger’s. Having Asperger’s means you are four times more likely to experience depression than you would if you were an average adult in the U.S.
These are alarming statistics. Oddly, however, depression is not typically thought of as a common feature of Asperger’s in adults. A few minutes of reflection, however, makes the connection between the two apparent.
Why Do People With Asperger’s Become Depressed?
Throughout their lives, people with Asperger’s have struggled to connect with others. The difficulties they have following normal rules of conversations, adapting their own communication to match the needs of listeners, understanding what is not explicitly stated, and engaging appropriately both one-on-one and in groups makes socializing mentally exhausting and emotionally taxing.
Commonly, adults with Asperger’s have a history of being ignored and exclude from social groups, a history that often begins with bullying, teasing, and ridicule dating back to early childhood. These negative attitudes are easily accepted and internalized, given the oversensitivity to negative emotions that are common with Asperger’s, and over time become a principle way of thinking about oneself.
Furthermore, Asperger’s lends itself to what is termed, “cognitive inflexibility” or the difficulty in switching from thinking about things in a certain way to thinking about them in a different way. Once the idea is established that one is socially inept and undesirable it seeps into the foundation of the person’s identity and becomes challenging to alter.
What Does Depression In Asperger’s Look Like?
From the outside, a person with Asperger’s looks similar to anyone else who is depressed. Typically, the symptoms include irritability, low energy or fatigue, insomnia, poor concentration and difficulty making decisions, loss of interest in activities, and in extreme cases, talk of self-harm, even suicide.
Internally, the person typically feels a general sense of pessimism and hopelessness that he or she will feel better. Feelings of worthlessness or guilt are common, along with sadness, emptiness, discouragement, and negative ideas about one’s worth.
Depression in someone with Asperger’s is quite similar to the way neurotypical people experience depression. The problem is in the way it is communicated to others. Because of the social and communicative differences of the person with Asperger’s, the actual experience of being depressed and the internal stress and strain of coping with it is conveyed often in a way that is not apparent. People close to, or familiar with, the person may have no idea what is going on.
The Basic Problem of Depression In Asperger’s
Notwithstanding the uniqueness of depression in someone with Asperger’s compared to neurotypical people, the core problem is the same for both. Depression is a problem of caring little for oneself. It appears in the form of persistent self-criticism, and constant efforts to demean and disparage one’s self as a person.
In the grip of depression, someone with Asperger’s is preoccupied with thinking he or she is a bad person. Every minor fault is amplified and used in the effort to see only what is wrong, not right. Responsibility for everything that appears to be amiss is assigned to the person and no one else. It all one’s own mistakes exclusively. No one else is responsible. In effect, the depressed person is judge and jury, and the verdict is always the same…guilty as charged.
Can Depression in Asperger’s Be Cured?
The short answer is yes. Through effort and persistence, and help from others, depression can be either erased or alleviated. Only a desire not to change will keep someone in the grips of this most unfortunate of emotional conditions.
If you have Asperger’s or believe you do, think about consulting with a professional who has experience working with people on the autism spectrum. With guidance and support, your depression will likely recede into your memories of a former, and distant, past.

How to Fill Motorcycle Gas Tanks
by Josh Baum
Motorcycle owners face a constant struggle at the fueling pump. Most commercial gas station pumps are designed with four-wheel auto gas tanks in mind, and the safety shut-off valves are designed accordingly. When you fill up a motorcycle gas tank with one of these, the safety shut-off valve will usually engage when your tank is only partially full. The simplest way around this problem is outlined below.
Step 1
Pull up to a gas pump. Put your motorcycle up on its kickstand. Most motorcycle manufacturers recommend filling up motorcycle fuel tanks with the kickstand up because it puts the tank in the optimal position.
Step 2
Prepay or use a credit card if necessary to activate the pump, then put the nozzle all the way into the fuel door. Pump fuel into the bike until the safety shut-off valve engages and the pumping stops.
Step 3
Pull the nozzle out of the fuel door. Hold the nozzle handle and trigger with one hand, while you use the other hand to push back the rubber sleeve surrounding the nozzle. Pushing back this sleeve should block the shut-off valve from reengaging.
Step 4
Stick the end of the nozzle about 1 inch into the fuel door and resume pumping. You should be able to actually see the fuel level rising by looking through the gaps in the fuel door.
Stop pumping when the fuel level nears the top of the tank. Replace the nozzle, and close the fuel door.
Tip
• Consider purchasing a special attachment designed for motorcycle fuel doors. These attachments fit all motorcycles and essentially automate the process described above. When you attempt this method, take note of how many gallons of gas your tank takes between when the safety shut-off valve engages and when your tank is full. Since fuel pumps and nozzles are fairly standardized, you can use this figure as a guide for pumping fuel in the future. Just remember roughly how much more gas you can add before overflowing the tank.
Warning
• Do not attempt this if you cannot see the liquid level inside the tank, as you may overflow the tank and spill gasoline on yourself, your bike and the ground.

High Blood Sugar Despite No Dietary Sugar
author avatar Dr. Eric Berg 03/12/2024
Managing balanced blood sugar levels is a critical aspect of maintaining overall health, particularly for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Hormonal fluctuations and metabolic processes can cause elevated morning glucose levels, increasing the risk of insulin resistance.
Learn how to balance blood sugar levels throughout the day and discover why sugar-free foods may cause elevated blood glucose.
Understanding High Blood Sugar in the Morning
Are you waking up to high blood sugar levels? This is a widespread issue and is typically caused by a metabolic process referred to as gluconeogenesis.
What is Gluconeogenesis?
Gluconeogenesis is the process of your liver producing glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins, ketones, or fats.
When carbohydrate intake is low, gluconeogenesis helps the liver maintain healthy blood sugar levels by producing glucose from alternative sources.

The Role of Hormone Fluctuations
Hormones like cortisol and growth hormone can also cause high blood sugar in the morning. These hormones peak early, increasing gluconeogenesis and elevated blood sugars.
While slight rises in blood sugar are standard, elevated levels may indicate a deeper health problem, such as insulin resistance or hormonal imbalances.
Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help regulate blood sugar levels.
Avoid Artificial Sweeteners Like Splenda
If you're struggling with consistently high blood sugar levels, it's crucial to examine your diet closely. One common culprit that many people overlook is artificial sweeteners like Splenda.
What Is Splenda?
Splenda is a brand name for sucralose, an artificial sweetener commonly used as a sugar substitute in processed foods and beverages.
While it may seem like a healthier alternative to regular sugar because it has zero calories, research suggests that consuming too much of this chemical can adversely affect our health.
How Does Splenda Affect Blood Sugar Levels?
While sucralose doesn't raise blood glucose levels directly, some studies suggest that artificial sweeteners can still affect insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
Even if you don't see an immediate spike in your blood sugar after consuming something with Splenda, the long-term effects could harm your overall health. If you are practicing intermittent fasting, Splenda can break a fast.
One study found that people who consumed more than 21 servings of artificially sweetened beverages per week had double the risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those who didn't consume any at all.
Natural Alternatives To Artificial Sweeteners
• Stevia: Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia plant. It has zero calories and does not affect blood glucose or insulin levels.
• Xylitol: Xylitol is another natural sweetener commonly used as a sugar substitute. It has fewer calories than regular sugar and does not raise blood glucose levels.
• Monk Fruit: Monk fruit is a natural sweetener derived from the monk fruit plant. It has zero calories and does not affect blood glucose or insulin levels.
What Causes Elevated Blood Sugar Levels in The Morning?
Ever wake up with high blood sugar levels and wonder why? It's called the dawn phenomenon, and it's not just you.
Hormones like cortisol, glucagon, and epinephrine are released in the early morning, causing your liver to release glucose into your bloodstream.
While this typically isn't an issue, it can be a problem for those with insulin resistance or diabetes.
Causes of Dawn Phenomenon
Insulin resistance is often linked to the dawn phenomenon. Hormones released in the morning trigger the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.
People without diabetes adjust by producing more insulin, but those with diabetes may experience persistently high glucose levels.
Impact on Insulin Resistance
If left unmanaged, the dawn phenomenon can worsen insulin resistance, making it harder for your body's cells to use available insulin effectively.
Higher fasting glucose concentrations and intensified metabolic issues, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, can result from not managing high morning blood sugar levels.
The Role of Insulin In Blood Sugar Regulation
Insulin is a hormone that helps manage blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells where it can be used for energy. This process prevents excess gluconeogenesis - the creation of new glucose from proteins or fats by the liver.
How Does Insulin Work?
In healthy individuals, insulin production and release are tightly regulated to maintain optimal blood sugar levels.
When you eat, especially carbs, your body breaks them down into simple sugars like glucose, which enters your bloodstream. Your pancreas then releases insulin to help move this glucose into cells throughout your body.
If there's more glucose than needed immediately for energy, insulin helps store it in your liver for later use. By doing so, insulin effectively lowers high blood sugar levels post meals and keeps them within a normal range.
Understanding Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance disrupts the delicate balance between blood sugar and insulin levels. This condition occurs when these tissues become less responsive or 'resistant' to insulin's effects, causing higher amounts of circulating insulin (hyperinsulinemia).
Here's the impact of insulin resistance on different cells throughout the body:
• Muscle cells: They start resisting taking up extra glucose even with an adequate amount of circulating insulin.
• Liver cells: Instead of storing extra glucose, they continue with excessive gluconeogenesis, dumping more unwanted sugars into circulation.
• Fat tissues: They resist stopping breakdown and release fatty acids, further contributing towards hyperglycemia.
This imbalance often results in elevated morning blood sugars due to uncontrolled overnight gluconeogenesis by the liver.
Interpreting Your Blood Sugar Levels
An average fasting blood sugar level should be around 80 mg/dL. For every 10 points above that mark, you've got an extra half gram of glucose in your bloodstream.
Normal vs. Elevated Fasting Blood Sugars
The American Diabetes Association suggests a fasting blood sugar level between 80 and 130 mg/dL.
But if your readings are consistently above this range in the mornings, it could indicate a problem with insulin regulation or other health issues like the dawn phenomenon.
Elevated fasting sugars can lead to long-term complications like nerve damage, kidney disease, and heart problems, and maintaining steady blood sugar levels is vital for overall health.
Implications Of Elevated Blood Sugar Levels
Persistent high morning blood sugars are often symptomatic of conditions like prediabetes or diabetes.
It might also suggest excessive gluconeogenesis happening overnight due to stress hormones or inadequate insulin production.
In some cases, higher than normal morning glucose levels may not necessarily imply poor glycemic control but rather reflect natural hormonal fluctuations during sleep cycles known as the dawn phenomenon.
Managing High Morning Blood Sugar Levels
Are you worried about high morning blood sugar levels? Don't fret. You can take plenty of steps to balance your blood sugar levels.
Adopting a Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting
Low-carb, high-fat keto diets can help your body shift from burning glucose to burning stored fat, potentially lowering morning blood sugars.
Similarly, intermittent fasting can improve insulin sensitivity and regulate blood sugar levels.
The Importance of Essential Nutrients
Optimal levels of essential nutrients are crucial for managing high morning blood sugars.
Potassium aids insulin secretion, magnesium improves insulin sensitivity, zinc enhances insulin action and production, and vitamin B12 helps decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes.
The Benefits of Regular Exercise
Regular exercise increases insulin sensitivity, lowering blood sugar levels, including in the morning. Engage in physical activity regularly - be it taking a walk, biking, swimming, or weightlifting - and persist with your chosen workout plan.
Conclusion
Several factors contribute to high morning blood sugar levels, including gluconeogenesis and hormone fluctuations.
Adopting a low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet and practicing intermittent fasting is an excellent strategy to promote steady blood sugar and insulin levels.
The ketogenic diet also helps to lower your risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, thereby improving your overall well-being.

'O light, light, light!' she cries, 'farewell;
The coal-black horses wait for me.
O shade of shades, where I must dwell,
Demeter, mother, far from thee!'"
In cold, strong arms Pluto seized her—in that mighty grasp that will not be denied, and Proserpine wept childish tears as she shivered at his icy touch, and sobbed because she had dropped the flowers she had picked, and had never picked the flower she most desired. While still she saw the fair light of day, the little oddly-shaped rocky hills, the vineyards and olive-groves and flowery meadows of Sicily, she did not lose hope. Surely the King of Terrors could not steal one so young, so happy, and so fair. She had only tasted the joy of living, and fain she would drink deeper in the coming years. Her mother must surely save her—her mother who had never yet failed her—her mother, and the gods. But ruthless as the mower whose scythe cuts down the seeded grass and the half-opened flower and lays them in swathes on the meadow, Pluto drove on. His iron-coloured reins were loose on the black manes of his horses, and he urged them forward by name till the froth flew from their mouths like the foam that the furious surf of the sea drives before it in a storm. Across the bay and along the bank of the river Anapus they galloped, until, at the river head, they came to the pool of Cyane. He smote the water with his trident, and downward into the blackness of darkness his horses passed, and Prosperine knew no more the pleasant light of day. | WIKI |
To Be the Man
To Be the Man is an autobiographical book written by professional wrestler Ric Flair and Keith Elliot Greenberg, and edited by Mark Madden. It was published by WWE Books and distributed by Simon & Schuster in July 2004. The book's title was taken from Flair's famous catchphrase: "To be the man, you gotta beat the man!".
Content
The book discusses Flair's birth and adoption through the Tennessee Children's Home Society (whose adoption practices would later be discovered to involve child selling; the opening chapter is titled "Black Market Baby") and beginnings that lead him to stardom in promotions such as American Wrestling Association, National Wrestling Alliance, World Championship Wrestling, and World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment.
Reception
Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer stated that it was the best written wrestler autobiography at the time, but that he felt that Flair's comments accusing Bret Hart of using his brother Owen's death to further his own agenda deeply disturbing and out of line as well as "unnecessary and offensive".
To Be the Man reached No. 5 on the hardback, non-fiction New York Times Best Seller list. It reached No. 10 for nonfiction best-sellers in Publishers Weekly. Upon its release, Flair held a successful book signing at a Borders bookstore in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. Nearly 13,000 copies sold between July 4 and 11, according to Nielsen BookScan. | WIKI |

Hello,
We using Atheros ath9k AR9462/AR9482 PCI-e module in our's i.MX6Q custom board.
I downloaded a compat-drivers-3.9-rc1-3 from Linux-Wireless, and generate ath9k driver modules.
These modules are loaded sequentially by:
compat.ko
cfg80211.ko
mac80211.ko
ath.ko
ath9k_hw.ko
ath9k_common.ko
ath9k.ko
Then download libnl and iw tools scan and connected to WIFI AP.
I can find and ping WIFI AP but the browser can not connect to the network.
Does this mean that ath9k driver modules have been ready?

Hi, Leo
The method posted by byungchul should work.
I can bring up WLAN by system UI with compat-wireless driver by similar way.
As for the HAL and private lib for wpa_supplicant, you can refer to the source code of Android-x86.
However, I still have some problems on suspend/resume. I am not sure if this results from the difference of kernel version or not because we use v3.4
Good luck.

Rotary Racer - Drivers Manual
Rotary Racer - Drivers Manual
Software Version 14
Car Computer
The Rotary Racer car computer provides the following functions:
• Measures and logs parameters including: Date and Time, Battery Voltage, Battery Current, Speed, Distance, Motor Temperature, Battery pack number and Battery charge levels.
• Controls motor power via the PWM Motor Speed controller. The actual motor power algorithm sets the motor power to a value based on throttle position, the motor current and cars speed.
• Protects motor and speed controller by providing soft start and limiting current.
• Manages current usage to maximise the power verses battery usage compromise through race.
• Protects batteries by reducing available current and issuing a warning when overall battery voltage falls below 21 Volts.
• Controls the cooling fans based on the motor temperature.
• Display warnings to the driver.
• Logs all data to a SDCARD for later retrieval.
Car Display
The cars display panel has a two line LCD display, three LED's and 4 push button switches numbered 1 through 4 (Left to right). The display will show several separate pages of information. The modes are as follows:
Mode Description
0 Display: Speed (S), Battery Number (B0, B1), Battery Charge in %, Current (C) and Average Current (CA) since last reset.
1 Display: Average Speed (SA) , Average Current (CA), Peak Speed (SP) and Current at peak speed from last switch on (CP). Useful for checking the cars performance during testing. The Average speed and Average current values are for speeds over 35 Km/H so this eliminates the pre-lap and post-lap slow periods to give readings that would match those in a continuous race better.
2 Display: Voltage (V), Current (C), Temperature (T), and motor speed average setting (MA).
3 Display: Voltage (V), Current (C), Accelerator position (A), Motor Speed setting (M)
4 Set up Average current. The car computer will limit the average current consumption to this value. Normally set to 23 Amps (23.0).
5 Set up the current management algorithm. Normally set to 1.
6 Set up Data Log Frequency. Sets the data logging frequency in seconds. Normally set to 1.
The main items of interest on the display are the current (C) and average current (CA) values. The average current should be around 23 Amps. If it is above 25 Amps the car is unlikely to finish the race as the batteries will be exhausted. If the average current is below 23 Amps we could go faster by changing the Average current setting. The current (C) value will be around the 23 Amps but will go higher during acceleration, up hill and into the wind and lower on slowing down, down hill sections and with the wind.
The buttons operate as follows:
Mode Button1 Button2 Button3 Button4
0,1,2,3 Turbo Mode
4,5,6 Turbo Up Down Mode
If all buttons are pressed together, then the Computer will reset all parameters to initial race start values.
The turbo button will turn off the motor current limiting for 20 seconds. This will give a "Turbo" boost assuming the cars gearing is set appropriately. The turbo button will not be able to be used for 2 minutes after previous use.
If there is a problem, the RED LED will light and an appropriate message will be flashed on the panel. The main warnings currently available include:
Battery Low The battery voltage is low. The maximum current has been limited to protect the batteries. Enter pits as soon as possible. If the voltage recovers full power will be restored after 20 seconds or after a reset.
Motor Temp High The motor is too hot. The maximum current has been limited to protect the motor.
LED's
The display LED's provide the following information:
Mode Red Yellow Blue
Accelerator off OFF OFF OFF
Accelerator at mid position OFF ON OFF
Accelerator at full position OFF OFF OFF
Turbo On OFF ON OFF
Warning ON OFF OFF
PitStop OFF OFF FLASHING
Throttle
The twist grip throttle will control the speed of the car. The maximum current to the motor will be limited to 60 Amps, thus when the car starts off the throttle will not provide the actual full power available. This is done to protect the motor, speed controller and batteries.
As the cars speed increases above 35Km/H the maximum motor current available will be reduced until at and above 45Km/hour the motor current will be limited to 23Amps or whatever is set as the Average Current. So in normal racing conditions the Car Computer will regulate the maximum power available to make sure the batteries will last the race.
If the turbo button is pressed the current limiting system will limit the current to 60Amps rather than the Average Current setting for about 20 seconds. This will give a "Turbo" boost assuming the cars gearing is set appropriately.
When racing, ideally the car should be kept at full throttle (No Yellow LED on) for best performance. When having to slow down for sharp corners or the pits try and anticipate slowing down and use a lower throttle setting in advance to slow the car before hand rather than rely on using the brakes. Every use of the brakes effectively uses up power that could have been used to make the car go faster. Drive smoothly and safely being aware of cars both in front and behind you. Always keep an eye on the mirros so that you are aware of what is behind you. Where possible use the inner track as the lap distance will be smaller there but follow a smooth racing line.
Car Computer Settings
At the start of a race the Car Computer should be reset to defaults. This is accomplished by pressing all 4 buttons on the display panel simultaneously.
The modes 4 and 5 allow the Average current and data logging frequency to be set up. The Average current is normally set to 23.0 which is 23 Amps. The data logging frequency is normally set two 1 second if an SDCARD is being used or set to 8 seconds for a race where two EEPROMS are used for logging data. This ensures that all of the data from a 4 hour race can be stored.
Emergancies
If you hear or see a mechanical failure of the car or if you smell smoke or see fire in the car do the following:
1. Turn off the power using the battery isolator switch at the right of the driver.
2. Drive the car off the track and stop as soon as possible.
3. Get out of the car and wait near the car in a safe place off the track for rescue.
Notes
• The car computer employs SDCARD EEPROM memory to retain critical information during power off. Thus there is no problem turning the power on and off during a race. A reset of the computer is performed on power on and can thus be used to clear some fault conditions and to clear the temparary peak and average values (as shown in mode 1).
• The computer employs a Watchdog timer. This will reset the car computer if the computer has crashed for some reason.
• If all buttons are pressed together, then the Computer will reset all parameters to initial race start values. This should be done just prior to a race. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Tortonese's goby
Pomatoschistus tortonesei, Tortonese's goby, is a species of goby native to the Mediterranean Sea where it is known from Marsala, Sicily and the Farwah Lagoon in western Libya. This species occurs in shallow waters ranging in salinity from brackish to just slightly hypersaline. It prefers habitats with sandy substrates near to beds of seagrass. Its diet consists of small crustaceans and gastropods. It is threatened by the fragmentation and destruction of its preferred habitat by silting. The specific name honours the Italian zoologist Enrico Tortonése (1911-1987) of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova. | WIKI |

U.S. nuclear arsenal to cost $1.2 trillion over next 30 years: CBO
(Reuters) - Modernizing and maintaining the U.S. nuclear arsenal over the next 30 years will cost more than $1.2 trillion, according to a report released on Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office. The report said current plans for the modernization of the aging planes, ships and missile silos that make up the U.S. nuclear arsenal would cost 50 percent more than if the U.S. only operated and maintained its current equipment in the field. The CBO study reviewed the Obama’s Administration’s plans for modernization of the nuclear arsenal. President Donald Trump in January directed Secretary of Defense James Mattis to conduct his own review the U.S. nuclear forces. The results could be published in the coming months. U.S. House Armed Services Committee member Adam Smith, a Democrat from Washington, said of the Obama-era plan: “Congress still doesn’t seem to have any answers as to how we will pay for this effort, or what the trade-offs with other national security efforts will be.” The report said costs would rise from $29 billion in 2017 to $47 billion in 2027, before peaking at around $50 billion a year through the early 2030s. Trump has said he wants to ensure the U.S. nuclear arsenal is at the “top of the pack,” saying the United States has fallen behind in its weapons capacity. U.S. officials have noted that America’s nuclear modernization is lagging behind Russia’s upgrade of its own nuclear triad. General Paul Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Congress in August he believed Moscow was already two-thirds of the way through its nuclear modernization process. In August, the U.S. Air Force awarded Boeing Co and Northrop Grumman Corp separate contracts to continue development work on the replacement of the aging Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile system one leg of the nuclear triad. Days later the Air Force awarded Lockheed Martin Corp and Raytheon Co separate $900 million contracts to continue work on a replacement for the AGM-86B air-launched nuclear cruise missile. That detailed development contract allows the companies to continue work on the long range standoff weapon yet another leg of the triad.

Duke Energy Getting on the Energy Storage Bandwagon
A Tesla energy-storage system at Jackson Family Wines. Image by author.
Now that wind and solar energy have proven their ability to generate cost-effective electricity, energy storage is the next technology advance needed to take renewables to another level. Wind and solar create energy on an inconsistent basis that often doesn't line up with a home, business, or utility's energy needs, a problem energy storage can solve.
That's why investments from established energy players in the energy-storage space are important and telling about where the industry is headed. A recent agreement with Duke Energy , one of the largest coal consumers in the country, is a big step for the future of batteries.
Duke Energy's move into energy storage
On Tuesday, Duke Energy announced an agreement with Green Charge Networks to enter the energy-storage market "behind the meter." The companies will work to deploy energy storage with REC Solar, which is majority owned by Duke Energy, hoping to leverage the company's existing network.
Behind the meter energy storage means the batteries are on a home's or business's side of the electricity meter, giving customers control instead of utilities. This strategy is currently being used to lower demand charges -- a charge based on peak consumption during a period, not amount of consumption -- for commercial or government customers, and the savings can be 10%-15% of a building's electricity bill. But that's just the start of how Duke Energy and Green Charge Networks are hoping to make money off of batteries.
Image: Tesla Motors.
A new business model is emerging
What's interesting about this move is that a major utility is trying to find a way to make money off batteries at all. And it's using a model many battery and solar companies are trying to launch themselves.
Reducing demand charges is one known way to make money off of batteries. But an emerging model will be shifting locally produced energy from when it's consumed to when it's most valuable to the building owner. Hawaii and California, where Duke Energy will first concentrate its work, are starting to develop rate structures that will make this possible.
If a building has rooftop solar, for example, today it can feed electricity back to the grid when it's producing an excess of what its building needs. But that net metering structure is changing in Hawaii, and likely will change soon in California to a structure that pays less for excess electricity than it costs to purchase. In Hawaii, one option for homeowners will be to sell excess energy to the grid for about $0.15 per kWh, which is about half of what it costs to buy energy at $0.30 per kWh. That spread creates an opportunity for batteries to store energy and use it at a later time, creating $0.15 per kWh in value.
This is what Tesla Motors is selling with its Powerwall and Powerpack as it explores growth in markets like Hawaii and California.
Speaking of Tesla Energy
As Tesla Energy starts to roll out its battery-storage products in a large way, it's developing business models to make them financially viable. One that just emerged was from Green Mountain Power, which says it can generate about $50 in value from each 7 kW Powerwall system through price arbitrage and demand reduction.
While the idea of energy storage is easy to understand, the economics behind it aren't. Duke Energy and Green Mountain Power are starting to develop business plans that could make it profitable; that's good for energy storage and renewable energy adoption, in general.
The next revolution in energy
With solar and wind energy now competitive with fossil fuels, it's up to energy storage to fill the gap and add grid services utilities need to keep the lights on. With a company like Duke Energy on board with the energy storage revolution, there are bright days ahead for these disruptive technologies.
The next billion-dollar iSecret
The world's biggest tech company forgot to show you something at its recent event, but a few Wall Street analysts and the Fool didn't miss a beat: There's a small company that's powering their brand-new gadgets and the coming revolution in technology.

Money Matters – Holiday Gifting: Who Made The List « CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) – Do like Santa; take the time to sit down with pen in hand and make out a list of who you are planning on buying presents for. Then go over that list! Then go over it again. [Audio http://cbsboston.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/november-16-2010-money-matters.mp3%5D Do you and your neighbors need to exchange gifts? It may have started innocently enough when the kids were small, you bought token presents but now they are permanently ensconced on your list. What about you sister and brother-in-law in Chicago? Every year they send you something from one of the food catalogs in the Midwest that sells the cheese in rolls and you dutifully send them a ham from the same place. You have been doing this for 20 years! Pare down the list! Talk to your family, friends and co-workers for they may feel as overwhelmed as you do. With your list in hand write down what you want to purchase for each person and put a dollar amount next to the name. Browse the internet; check out catalogs and the newspaper ads so you have an idea what items should cost. Then start shopping. When you are out and caught up in the spirit of the Holidays it is so easy to overspend. And it is easy to overspend using the internet. For it doesn't seem real. You give them your credit card and they send you the stuff later. When you head out to the mall try leaving your credit cards at home and just taking cash with you. Once the cash is gone you are done shopping! If you have the discipline to do it, you will definitely stay within your budget. Another hint to stay within the budget is if you are using your checkbook or a credit card, keep track, a running total, of what you are spending as you shop. Put the amount next to the person's name. Again once you reach your limits you're done! Beware of that Shopping Syndrome, that's where you head out again at the last minute because you don't think you have bought enough and you come home with stuff! A few more words of advice about shopping: Put on comfortable shoes and go shopping by yourself. Don't take the kids, your mother, your friends or your sister. That may include your spouse also. They will talk you into too many things. You will be much more efficient alone and there will be no distractions! And it is a sad state of affairs when we need to advice you to be careful in the parking lots and at the ATMs. We want you to be safe shopping.

Re: XHR responseArrayBuffer attribute: suggestion to replace "asBlob" with "responseType"
Is this a fair summary of this thread?
Chris (Apple) worries that having to support both responseText and
responseArrayBuffer will be memory inefficient because implementations
will end up with both representations in memory.
James (Google) worries that synchronously reading bytes from the browser
cache on demand when responseArrayBuffer is accessed will be too
time-inefficient.
Boris (Mozilla) worries that creating a new mode in which responseText
is unavailable will break jQuery applications.
I've suggested on another thread that the way around this is to abandon
XHR as a legacy API and create a new HTTPRequest object or
BinaryHTTPRequest or StreamingHTTPRequest or something.
It occurs to me now, however, that the way to avoid breaking jQuery is
to make responseType a constructor argument instead of a property to be
set before send(). If I recall correctly, jQuery always creates its own
XHR object, so if responseType is only settable at creation time, then
the situation Boris fears won't arise. At least not with that library.

User:Cookiedough22/Cucumber mosaic virus
Virion
This virus presents non-enveloped, icosahedral or bacilliform virions of 26-35 nm in diameter. The different RNAs are encapsidated in distinct particles, which results in a variety of virions [4]. The virus is made of 180 subunits that are composed of single capsid proteins and single stranded positive RNA. The different RNAs such as satellite RNA are linked to expressing the virus .Cucumber mosaic virus affects plant species where it infects them and rapidly mutates, causing difficulties in treatments attributable to its constant mutations, host range, and resistance.
Environment
CMV is naturally found in temperate areas, where aphids, one of its main vectors, are also found. In addition to its presence in temperature areas, this virus can also be found in more tropical climate zones .Areas such as these include California, Spain, Italy, and even some parts of Eastern Asia.
Diagnosis
The plant has physical implications of being affected by this virus. A series of yellow or green pigmentation can appear predominantly in the leaves of the plant .Leaf malformation, plant necrosis, plant growth inhibition, and altered fruit quality are all characteristics of plants with this virus.
The presence of this virus in a plant can be confirmed serologically (ELISA), molecularly (PCR), or by host range tests .(added 6th reference too). These tests can be done to determine the amount of or just the presence of the virus on the plants. Biological assays can also be performed to determine the specific variants of CMV affecting the plant.
Management
CMV can affect the health and sustainability of agriculture such as crops like tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce. It can negatively affect the environment it infects. Currently there is no chemical capable of removing this virus from an infected plant, and therefore the best control is through prevention of the infection and eradication. To achieve this, it is crucial to remove weeds and diseased plants from the field, as well as use clean and sanitized tools. Other options are the use of resistant varieties, or planting so-called "trap crops".
Importance
CMV is non-persistently non-circulatively transmitted by more than 80 different aphid species, among other vectors. As consequences, the virus is easily spread, and can be found worldwide. CMV infects over 1200 plant species, including important crops and ornamental species. In its plant host, CMV can induce severe damage, which often lead to economical losses, as it has been proven to cause to 10-20% loss of field yield. A reduction of crop yield can affect mechanisms such as photosynthesis and the its ability to provide oxygen to the environment.

Cucumber Mosaic Virus Draft
Editor: Brianna Estrella
Date: April 22nd, 2024
Areas of Improvement/ Editing:
1. Virion section -
Cucumber mosaic virus are made of 180 subunits composed of single capsid proteins and single stranded positive RNA. Specific RNA’s such as satellites RNA have been shown to affect tomato plants when in contact with Cucumber mosaic virus [1]. Cucumber mosaic virus poses a threat to the plants it infects and the trend of rapid mutation indicates the difficulty of treating the affected plants with the virus [2]. This can be due to the virus's high host range and high number of mutations and resistance.
2. Environmental section -
This virus is typically found in areas of temperature and tropical climate zones [3]. More specifically, you can see this virus mostly areas such as Spain, Italy, California, and Eastern parts of Asia.
3. Diagnosis section -
Leaf malformation, plant necrosis, growth inhibition are all effects of cucumber mosaic virus on the plants it infects [3].It is mostly identified by light or dark green and yellow marked pigmentations on the affected leaves with the ability to affect fruit quality [5].
Certain tests can be done to detect the virus on the plants. A series of assays such as biological and serological assays can be done to detect and determine the effect of virus on the affected plants. Biological assays can be performed to differentiate the specific variants of cucumber mosaic virus is affecting the plants [4]. ELISA(Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) can be performed to detect CMV in crude extracts [4].
4. I mportance on the virus in the management section -
CMV can affect the health and sustainability of agriculture. It can negatively impact plants and the environment they develop in. CMV has been evident to affect certain crops such as lettuce, peppers, and others[6]. It is crucial to learn how to maintain crop environments free of this virus or at a minimum amount to achieve adequate produce.The virus can be controlled through agronomically and chemically to reduce the spread of this plant virus [5]. | WIKI |
Controlling Devices Over the Internet of Things - Part 1
Introduction: Controlling Devices Over the Internet of Things - Part 1
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the buzz words nowadays and as a software developer I’m curious about it and will try to put in here what I believe is the easiest way to achieve it. This means, of course, that you may know different ways much more simpler and effective than what I know.
First of all, I have to admit that I’m not a hardware person, in fact I´m really bad at it. Fortunately for me and others in the same situation, there are plenty of tools you can use to build your electronics. In my case, I use:
• Arduino Breakout board.
• Intel Edison.
• Seeed Studio Grove shield.
• Grove LED.
• Grove Button.
Just as a quick reference, Intel Edison in conjunction with Arduino Breakout board provides the same software and hardware interfaces as the Arduino UNO but with more power as it is running Yocto, a linux-based distribution created for embedded devices. On the other hand, Grove is a tool set created by Seeed Studio to give makers and inventors the ability to create devices with simple building blocks in a plug-and-play fashion. You can say it’s like Lego for electronics.
On the software side, I used Node-Red, which is a tool that helps you orchestrate flows by visually wiring your processes. A web browser will be used to test the service and manipulate the LED.
In this first part, I’ll show you how to connect the circuit and send commands to turn on or off a LED connected to the Grove shield through an HTTP request. This, of course, will allow you to interact with the LED when you’re in the same WiFi as the Edison. On a second part, I’ll show you how to connect the circuit to a cloud IoT instance and send commands to the Edison via Internet.
Step 1: Before You Start
Make sure the following is already installed.
1. Edison is configured to connect to WiFi. If you haven’t setup your Edison, follow the steps in Intel Edison site.
2. You can login to Edison. Once the WiFi is configured, you can login using SSH. I found this tutorial very useful.
3. Node-Red is installed in Edison. Follow instructions in the Node-Red documentation.
4. Node-red-contrib-gpio module is installed in Node-Red. Follow instructions in the official documentation in GitHub.
5. Ionic is installed on your computer. Follow instructions in Ionic’s web site.
Step 2: Assembling the Circuit
The assembly is quite simple:
1. Plug the Edison and the Grove shield in the Arduino Breakout.
2. Plug the cable to the Grove LED board.
3. Plug the cable to the Grove shield, I chose slot D6 but you can use any digital pin.
4. Plug the micro USB cable to the Arduino power and to the computer to turn it on.
Step 3: Creating the Flows in Node-Red
Here, I’ll assume you have Node-Red up and running in your Edison and available through your web browser.
In Node-Red, you will create the flow that will handle a GET HTTP request, extract the parameter of the action on the LED, turn on or off the LED, format a message and send it back to the client in the form of a HTTP response.
The complete flow should like like this one. Follow these steps to complete it.
Step 4: HTTP Request
In the Input drawer in Node-Red select the HTTP node, drag and drop it onto the canvas. Double click on the node in the canvas and specify the following parameters:
• Method: GET
• URL: /led/:state
• Name: ActionOnLED
Don’t miss the colon (:) in the URL. After setting these attributes, click on Done.
I used the GET method because at first I wanted to try using a web browser. Since this is a command, I think a POST method suits better for the purpose but I’ll leave the correct architecture terms on your end.
Step 5: Extract the Action From the HTTP Request
As you can tell in the URL above, the action is passed as the last portion of the URL as a path parameter. Because of this, we need to extract it. Node-Red gives you the chance to get variables from the request using the standard Express API.
From the Function drawer select the function node and drag and drop it into the canvas. Double-click on it and put the following JavaScript code.
if (msg.req.path == "/led/on") {
msg.payload = 1;
msg.httpMsg = "On"
} else if (msg.req.path == "/led/off") {
msg.payload = 0;
msg.httpMsg = "Off"
} else {
msg = null;
}
return msg;
After entering the code, click on Done.
Note that there’s a new property in the message to pass a readable string which will be used to notify the client.
Now that the function is complete, wire the two nodes each other. On the HTTP request node, click on the small gray square and then drag and drop it on the gray square on the function. The flow is now wired, just this simple!
Step 6: Control the LED
It’s time to add a node to control the LED on the shield. In the Input drawer select the gpio node and drag and drop it on the canvas. Double-click on it to specify the attributes for this node.
First, you will need to specify the board type you have. For this, click on the pencil icon in the Board field. In the resulting wizard, specify your board for the Nodebot. In this case select Galileo/Edison and set a name. Click on Update to save the changes.
Once the board is configured, specify the attributes to control the LED:
• Board: The board you just configured.
• Type: Digital(0/1).
• Pin: As I mentioned above, I used pin 6.
After setting these attributes, click on Done and wire this node to the function node created above.
Note the after clicking on Deploy, Node-Red will try to connect the physical board. When it’s successful it displays the connected!!! message below the node.
Step 7: Format the Message for the Client
From the Function drawer select the function node and drag and drop it into the canvas. Double-click on it and put the following JavaScript code.
msg.payload = {
message: "LED was turned " + msg.httpMsg,
led_state: msg.payload
}
return msg;
After entering the code, click on Done and wire this node to the other function node created above.
Step 8: Sending Back a Response
Since this request is initiated with an HTTP request, you must finish it with an HTTP response. For this select a HTTP Response node in the Output drawer and drag and drop it on the canvas. Wire this node to the function that was created previously to form the message for the client.
Click Deploy to bring your changes to life.
Step 9: Testing Your Flow
Now that the flow is created, you can use your web browser, or any other program that handles HTTP requests like cURL or WGET, to test it.
Open your web browser and use either of these URL’s. Make sure your IP address is the one configured in your Edison. In my case, the IP address is 192.168.1.71.
Step 10: Limitations
I could only found one limitation on actual functionality here. In the scenario where you turn on the LED using the HTTP request directly from the web browser, the UI in the web application won’t reflect that state because the connection is asynchronous and disconnected. That is the web application is not notified of changes in the state of the LED.
To resolve this problem you could use different approaches like using WebSockets instead of HTTP requests to establish a bi-directional communication and have synchrony between the HTTP requests and the UI. Or maybe you could use MQTT as the protocol to subscribe and publish events.
In any case you will need to modify the flow in Node-Red to accommodate the new transport protocol and of course your JavaScript code.

A. Warning: Li-ion batteries should never be left charging while unattended. Although the charging turns off when the charging cycle is complete (the indicator LED changes from RED to GREEN), Li-ion cells pack a lot energy and must always be supervised while charging.
Q. Will the WorkStar® 620 turn ON while plugged into the power supply?
A. Yes, but we recommend that you don't.
Q. How many times can I recharge the WorkStar® 620 batteries before they need to be replaced?
A. The batteries may start to lose capacity after about 1000 full charge/discharge cycles.
Q. Can I buy replacement Li-ion batteries?
A. Yes, but not from Maxxeon. The headlamp uses two industry standard "18650" Li-ion cells. These are the most common Li-ion cells and are available from most battery retailers. Maxxeon recommends that you only purchase the highest quality 18650 cells with all the extra safety features. Cells with the extra internal, thermal shut down switch are slightly longer than the less expensive cells without the internal switch. Note: the original cells that came with your WorkStar® 620 were the longer cells with the thermal shut down switch.
Q. Does the WorkStar® 620 1st Gen power supply work on 240 volts?
A. Yes, the power supply works from 100 to 240 VAC and with both 50 and 60 Hz. However, the power supply only has a standard "Type A", two prong plug, so you will need a plug adapter for other pin configurations. Note: the 2nd Gen model charges from a USB port, not a wall charger.
Q. How tough is the WorkStar® 620 Series?
A. The headlamp has a Drop Test rating of 6 ft (2 m).
Q. Is my WorkStar® 620 waterproof?
A. No, the WorkStar® 620 is water resistant, but it should not be immersed in liquids.
Q. Can my WorkStar® 620 be used in hazardous environments?
A. No, the WorkStar® 620 was not designed for hazardous environments.

Android Training/Running Your Application
Aus Android Wiki
Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche

Deutsch • English
If you followed the previous lesson to create an Android project, it includes a default set of "Hello World" source files that allow you to immediately run the app.
How you run your app depends on two things: whether you have a real device running Android and whether you're using Android Studio. This lesson shows you how to install and run your app on a real device and on the Android emulator, and in both cases with either Android Studio or the command line tools.
Run on a Real Device[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
If you have a device running Android, here's how to install and run your app.
Set up your device[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
1. Plug in your device to your development machine with a USB cable. If you're developing on Windows, you might need to install the appropriate USB driver for your device. For help installing drivers, see the OEM USB Drivers document.
2. Enable USB debugging on your device.
• On most devices running Android 3.2 or older, you can find the option under Settings > Applications > Development.
• On Android 4.0 and newer, it's in Settings > Developer options.
Note: On Android 4.2 and newer, Developer options is hidden by default. To make it available, go toSettings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options.
Run the app from Android Studio[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
1. Select one of your project's files and click Run from the toolbar.
2. In the Choose Device window that appears, select the Choose a running device radio button, select your device, and click OK .
Android Studio installs the app on your connected device and starts it.
Run the app from a command line[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Open a command-line and navigate to the root of your project directory. Use Gradle to build your project in debug mode, invoke the assembleDebug build task using the Gradle wrapper script (gradlew assembleRelease).
This creates your debug .apk file inside the module build/ directory, named MyFirstApp-debug.apk.
On Windows platforms, type this command:
> gradlew.bat assembleDebug
On Mac OS and Linux platforms, type these commands:
$ chmod +x gradlew
$ ./gradlew assembleDebug
After you build the project, the output APK for the app module is located in app/build/outputs/apk/
Note: The first command (chmod) adds the execution permission to the Gradle wrapper script and is only necessary the first time you build this project from the command line.
Make sure the Android SDK platform-tools/ directory is included in your PATH environment variable, then execute:
adb install app/build/outputs/MyFirstApp-debug.apk
On your device, locate MyFirstApp and open it.
That's how you build and run your Android app on a device! To start developing, continue to the next lesson.
Run on the Emulator[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
Whether you're using Android Studio or the command line, to run your app on the emulator you need to first create an Android Virtual Device (AVD). An AVD is a device configuration for the Android emulator that allows you to model a specific device.
Figure 1. The AVD Manager main screen shows your current virtual devices.
Create an AVD[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
1. Launch the Android Virtual Device Manager:
• In Android Studio, select Tools > Android > AVD Manager, or click the AVD Manager icon in the toolbar.
• Or, from the command line, change directories to sdk/ and execute:
tools/android avd
Note: The AVD Manager that appears when launched from the command line is different from the version in Android Studio, so the following instructions may not all apply.
2. On the AVD Manager main screen (figure 1), click Create Virtual Device.
3. In the Select Hardware window, select a device configuration, such as Nexus 6, then click Next.
4. Select the desired system version for the AVD and click Next.
5. Verify the configuration settings, then click Finish.
For more information about using AVDs, see Managing AVDs with AVD Manager.
Run the app from Android Studio[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
1. In Android Studio, select your project and click Run from the toolbar.
2. In the Choose Device window, click the Launch emulator radio button.
3. From the Android virtual device pull-down menu, select the emulator you created, and click OK.
It can take a few minutes for the emulator to load itself. You may have to unlock the screen. When you do, My First App appears on the emulator screen.
Run your app from the command line[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
1. Build the project from the command line. The output APK for the app module is located inapp/build/outputs/apk/.
2. Make sure the Android SDK platform-tools/ directory is included in your PATH environment variable.
3. Execute this command:
adb install app/build/outputs/MyFirstApp-debug.apk
4. On the emulator, locate MyFirstApp and open it.
That's how you build and run your Android app on the emulator! To start developing, continue to the next lesson. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Nutrition + Wellness Weight Loss
How to Start a Keto Diet
How to Start a Keto Diet
So you are ready to adapt to a ketogenic diet to lose weight and improve your health. You have come to the right place. Making any great lifestyle or diet changes can be a challenge especially at first. There are a lot of new learning procedures, and old habits to give up. We have seen again and again with people that over time Keto becomes new and normal.
First, let’s Determine what a keto diet is. Simply put, Keto is a high-low-to-moderate low-carb diet. Protein diet by restricting carbohydrates radically in your diet, enter and maintain the ketosis metabolism state where the body burns fat as an effective alternative fuel called ketones. The Keto diet does not only help with weight loss. Current research also indicates that it can improve health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
To start your keto trip on the right foot, we have the three Basic Tips
Eating the right foods
Eat the right amount of those foods
Prepare for Keto flu
Let’s start with the food. Your goal on a consistent basis is to replace carbohydrate heavy foods with keto friendly foods. This will help you eat fewer calories, and help you start jumping and maintaining the ketosis you will need. Foods to consider are high-fat dairy meats, healthy oils, leafy vegetables and above ground vegetables like nuts, seeds, raspberry, avocado and keto certified sweeteners. Completely avoid cereals, fruits, sugar, and starchy vegetables. You have to be much more dependent on home-cooked food.
You should know how to do it on your own. There are so many resources online, including shopping meal plans that lists budget details and recipes. I will Teach you to avoid common pitfalls how to read nutrition facts and food Information. Which Keto foods can be exchanged and replaced with better options. You might be surprised how many things like bread, noodles, cookies, and ice cream can still be enjoyed if you just know how to make it keto friendly.
There is more to Keto than just eating the right foods. This is the basis for Diet. You must also learn how much to eat. That brings us to our second point. The Keto diet can help you restrict calories in a slow and steady way. This leads to long-term weight loss, but it may be difficult to do if you are not carefully tracking what you eat. One way to find out how much you should be eating on a keto diet is to track your progress and adjust every few weeks. If you do not see the results you want you can also use an online keto calculator which we find to be the most accurate way for you to keep track of your macronutrients (or those macros that are carbohydrates, proteins and fats).
You need to be in a delicate balance to keep your body in ketosis. The general rule we recommend eating is below 35 grams of carbohydrates per day and aimed at getting 70% of your calories from fat and 25% from protein. Keto calculators can help you know exactly what you should be aiming for every day and will keep you on track to dive deep into macros.
Finally, when you start a ketogenic diet you should prepare for the keto flu. When you first reduce carbohydrates, your body will experience some changes as it adapts to your lifestyle. One likely change is Keto flu. This is an umbrella term for flu-like symptoms you may encounter such fatigue or mental fog. These symptoms usually last only for a short timej. You will need to drink more water, get more potassium, sodium and magnesium, and eat more fat, especially MCTS. Most importantly, check in with yourself from time to time to monitor the changes In your body composition and how you feel.

Talk:Willie Aames
Bibleman?
Why has someone been allowed to remove all traces of his work as the widely-panned character "Bibleman"?? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:14, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
* Why did you add it without a source? Sundayclose (talk) 22:25, 23 June 2015 (UTC)
* It was being added BACK after someone was allowed to purge it without explanation last year. Was it you? Virtually NONE of this guy's work is cited. Precisely what do the high overlords of Wikipedia require, and why don't you raise everything on the page for this reason? <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 15:31, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
* The posting history from IP <IP_ADDRESS> shows that someone removed this embarrassing history from his page, commented about a cruise ship upon which Aames was the cruise director, and posted that he married "his soul mate". Does anyone NOT think this guy is scrubbing his wiki page of documented yet embarrassing information?<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 17:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Past problems and reversions
I see that Willie Aames himself tends to edit his Wiki page and remove "unpleasant" information. I added a paragraph about his past (heavy drug abuse) and cited four (!) sources. As far as I can see this is not a BLP issue, I stated it quite neutral and even added that he recovered from his addictions. However, I expect that -- like in the past few instances -- someone reverts these edits. If so, please state a reason and/or a policy that was violated. I do think that this information on his past is an important part of his bio, and that there's no reason to remove it just because Aames is embarrassed about it. There's enough sources and this phase of his life gained lots of public coverage. I don't like it either, but keeping it a secret is not the way to go either. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:26, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

As an artificial intelligence assistant, Cortana in Windows 10 or your phones makes it easier to get stuff done. If you are curious about what can a Cortana do for you and how to use a Cortana, get ready and read this article to find answers.
Cortana is an artificial intelligence assistant developed by Microsoft for Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Phone 8.1, iOS, Android, etc. If you’ve used Siri on your iPhone or Google Assistant on Android, you’re already familiar with this type of technology. Cortana is very similar to them and mainly competes against assistants like them…
Cortana is currently available in the following languages: English, Chinese, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese, depending on the software platform and region in which she is used.
Cortana
Cortana is Microsoft’s attempt in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence. She can understand your preferences and habits. What Microsoft wants to achieve is the intelligent interaction between you and Cortana: not simply based on a stored question and answer, but a conversation. She records your behavior and usage habits, uses cloud computing, search engines & “unstructured data” analysis, reads and “learns” data including text files, emails, images, videos, etc. So she can understand your semantics and contexts, achieving human-computer interaction. Simply say, the more she knows about you, the better she will do her job.
Related article: Windows 10 New Search Experience and Volume Flyout May Appear Next Year
What Can Cortana Do for You
In Windows 10, Cortana locates in the search bar. You can see Cortana when you open the search bar. As an artificial intelligence, Cortana is naturally capable of speech recognition, so if you want to start using Cortana, you have two ways to start – talk to her or type commands.
Talk to Cortana: You need a microphone to talk to Cortana, for example, a portable headset can do this. Just connect it to your computer and use it.
Type commands: This method does not require any tools. You just need to know where to type commands. The place to type commands is located next to the Start menu, called search bar.
You can ask almost anything you want to know, and she will try to answer your questions by using information from the Bing search engine (e.g., current weather, traffic conditions, sports scores and more). If the searched result is easy, she will show you a list; if not, she will jump directly to the Bing page. By the way, if you are interested, the U.S. version of Cortana is voiced by Jen Taylor.
Cortana is your digital assistant. She can help you get things done. Here are some things she can do for you:
• send emails and text messages.
• Track packages, teams, interests, flights and more.
• Manage your calendar and keep you updated.
• Create and manage lists.
• Find facts, documents, locations, or any information you need.
• Open any application on your system.
To sum up, Cortana has a lot of features. However, by default, she can act as your personal news and weather channel, so that you might notice this feature first. Simply click on the search bar and you’ll see the latest updates.
In fact, Cortana can also be an encyclopedia, an almanac, a dictionary, and a thesaurus… For example, you can type or say things like tell me the story about Adam and Eve and immediately see the result. You can ask what a particular thing is…(e.g. what is a partition?), or what date something happened… (e.g. when was the first moon landing?), how to…(e.g. how to fix iPhone stuck on Apple logo and recover its data?), and so on.
Set a reminder
One of the things Cortana can do is to remind you. She can remind you to do things based on time, places, and people. For example, type or say Remind me to write a letter at 5 o’clock this afternoon, then you will get a reminder at 5 pm.
Extra bonus – If you have a Windows phone or Cortana for your phone, you can set Cortana to synchronize notifications between your PC and your phone.
set a remind
Hey, Cortana!
Set up Cortana to hear you as long as you say Hey, Cortana! Select the search box on the taskbar to open the Cortana home page. Then choose Settings and turn on Let Cortana respond to “Hey Cortana”. After that, every time you say Hey, Cortana! Cortana will hear you and wait for your questions or commands to answer or perform.
Hey, Cortana!

npm-bundle
Similar to npm pack but includes packages in the dependencies section of the package.json.
If you wish to include dependencies and use npm-pack you must do the following:
1. create bundledDependencies section in package.json
2. remember to update bundledDependencies before executing npm pack
3. remember to execute npm install before executing npm pack
4. remember to execute npm install --legacy-bundling when using npm v3.x
because deduped dependencies will not be included.
1. remember that npm install --legacy-bundling is not available in npm v3
.x < v3.5
There must be a better way...
Prerequisites
• node v0.10 or later
npm v1.x, v2.x or npm > v3.5 (npm v3 less than 3.5 does not support disabling
dedup)
Install
npm install -g npm-bundle
CLI Usage
You can use the same arguments and options as npm install1. There is an additional --verbose option to help with debugging issues.
# The current directory containing a package.json
npm-bundle
# Verbose, useful for debugging errors
npm-bundle --verbose
# A tarball in the current directory
npm-bundle something-1.0.0.tgz
# A package from the registry
npm-bundle request
# A tarball url
npm-bundle https://github.com/indexzero/node-portfinder/archive/v0.4.0.tar.gz
# Specify a private registry
npm-bundle secretPackage --registry=http://private.something.com/npm
Programmatic Usage
var npmBundle = require('npm-bundle')
var args = []
var options = {
verbose: true
}
npmBundle(args, options, function onNpmBundle (error, output) {
if (error) {
throw error
}
process.stdout.write(output.file)
})
The given callback receives an error parameter and an output object parameter.
The output object will have the following properties:
• file - output from npm pack executed on temporary install directory
Behind the Scenes
The install is happening in the .npmbundle temporary directory, so only use npm install options relevant for that directory.
The npm executable (required to be on your path) does the heavy lifting to ensure behavior is consistent with what you expect from npm.
Here is a simplified view of the workflow:
• cd .npmbundle
• npm install <package_name> --production --legacy-bundling
• set bundledDependencies in `
.npmbundle/nodemodules/name>/package.json * cd startDir * npm pack .npmbundle/nodemodules/name>`
Differences from npm pack
1. The entire dependency tree (legacy, not deduped) is included in the output
tarball
1. The additional arguments of npm install, ie. a tarball url
2. The additional options of npm install, ie. --registry=http://something
3. The package.json in the output tarball has npm install metadata
4. --verbose option for help with debugging
5. All three publish scripts are prefixed with an underscore in the package
.json in the output tarball (a workaround to ensure they are only run once)
Changelog
• v3.0.3
* Fixed [#10](https://github.com/majgis/npm-bundle/issues/10): The .npmrc
is ignored when bundling directories
• v3.0.1
* run-scripts issue fixed by disabling publish scripts prior to `npm pack`
* engine corrected to be Node.js v0.10
• v3.0.0
* The contents is no longer output, use `tar -tvf something.tgz` instead
• v2.0.4
* .npmbundle folder is no longer included in the output file
• v2.0.3
* The issue with options not being passed was fixed.
• v2.0.0
* Everything is now executed asynchronously
* Support for node v0.10
• v1.1.1
* Show list of included files and folders | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Fact-checking Trump's claims about violent crime
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump celebrated declining violent crime rates during a speech at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting on Friday. He made several claims about crime rates, suggesting crime was on the decline thanks to the efforts of his administration. "As we protect gun rights for law abiding citizens, we're also getting guns out of the hands of violent criminals. When I took office two years ago one of my highest priorities was to reduce violent crime. In the two years before my inauguration the murder rate had increased by more than 20%," Trump said. He added, "And the United States had experienced the largest increase in violent crime in over 25 years." Facts First: FBI data did report a 20% rise in homicides in the largest cities over the course of 2015 and 2016. And there was a sharp increase in violent crime in percentage terms between 2014 and 2016, not necessarily in total criminal incidents. But overall, violent crime and homicide rates continued to stay at near historical lows through 2016, according to the Congressional Research Service. Violent crime rates peaked in the 1990s and have been steadily going down ever since, while the homicide rate peaked in the early 1980s with a smaller spike in the early 1990s. "We charged a record number of criminal offenders and last year we prosecuted the most violent criminals ever in our history and now violent crime is way down," Trump said. Facts First: Violent crime rates were down in 2017 compared with 2016, but some crimes considered violent, such as rape and aggravated assault, were on the rise in the same period. Trump would be right in saying that violent crime in 2017 was declining overall compared to 2016, according to FBI statistics. However, it hadn't gone down to 2013 levels, suggesting that the latest numbers aren't as "way down" as Trump is suggesting. The murder rate recorded as part of these statistics shows the same trend. In addition, while the total of violent crimes saw a decrease in 2017, rape, aggravated assaults, and motor vehicle thefts were on the rise. Trump said, "Murders in America's largest cities dropped by 6% between 2017 and 2018. But I do have to ask you what the hell is going on in Chicago? What is going on?" Facts First: Homicide is estimated to have fallen in some of America's largest cities last year and Chicago is one of them. A Brennan Center for Justice analysis of crime in 2018 estimated that the murder rate in 30 of the US's largest cities declined by nearly 6% between 2017 and 2018. However, Trump's singling out of Chicago suggests a high or increasing homicide rate -- and that is not supported by facts. Late last year, CNN reported that Chicago saw a significant drop in murders and gun violence for the second year in a row, according to police. Across the city, there were 100 fewer murders than in 2017, when 650 people were killed. Overall, 2017 crime had fallen 10% compared with 2016, the year Chicago recorded its highest murder rate in two decades, with 762 people killed. "The number of police officers shot and killed in the line of duty (in 2017), I'm so happy to report, is down 21% compared to the year before. And that was the year before I took office," Trump said. Facts First: The number of law enforcement officers shot and killed in the line of duty is decreasing. Trump is right in saying that in 2017, there were fewer law enforcement officers shot and killed in the line of duty with a firearm compared with the previous year. According to FBI statistics, 42 law enforcement officers were killed with firearms, compared with 62 the year prior. However, numbers have not gone back to 2015 levels, when data reported to the FBI shows 38 officers were killed by firearms. Another group that tallies law enforcement deaths, the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund, says 67 officers were killed by firearms in 2016, 46 were killed by firearms in 2017 and 53 were killed by firearms in 2018. CNN's Bill Kirkos contributed to this report. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

C64 - Code ASM : Problem with pixel set.
• Hello everybody...
For the program there asm which I realize, I need a small code to draw pixel.
I found on the forum a small routine which pleases me well.
There were some errors of labels that I corrected.
I do not performance of speed.
I use Bank3 (no need the characters).
Address Screen = $e000
The routine ' clrHiResBITMAP ' does not work.
The routine ' SetPixel ' does not work.
My code:
• 1.) In line 28 you set both, the background colour and the foreground colour, to 0 = black. You won't be able to see any dots this way. Try #$10 for example for white dots on a black screen.
2.) I understand that you do not aim for speed. However, this code is painfully unnecessarily slow. My advice: throw it away. If you like I could give you a better routine.
• Thank you M.J.
---
I said it because I found full of code which looks only for performances of speed for demos with tables to avoid the greedy calculations in cycles.
This short not very long routine is enough for my needs.
But if you have better I am well interested sure. All that I want it is that it works.
---
The routine 'ColorHires' works very well, even when I change the color code, it is the routine ' clrHiResBITMAP ' which does not work.
If I remove the call of the routine 'ColorHires', the disappearance of the screen is not made.
And ' SetPixel ' makes nothing.
--
Thank you...
• Hoogo
I load an image in bottom of screen and I is none problem with the kernal.
Of quite manners, I use routines of the kernal (Load, Save, Keyboard...)
If I deactivate it, I lose the access in these routine.
The Kernal has a size of 8KB, so it overlays the whole bitmap. So you have to care about $01, and also about IRQs with SEI/CLI.
• It has already been mentioned by the previous posters, I don't see any provisions here to handle the RAM/ROM banking in $E000..$FFFF. The standard configuration always writes to RAM (that's why the bitmap load works), but reads from ROM.
At least around the LDA/ORA/STA combo to update the bitmap byte, you'll have to set $01 to all RAM, and back to RAM/ROM. An interrupt occuring during these half a dozen instructions ought not crash the C64, here the simplest solution is to again 'bracket' these instructions with SEI/CLI.
Last, you wrote that speed isn't important to you here. I tell you, speed is *all* here that matters - otherwise it wouldn't make any sense to write this function in machine language. Alas, this code looks like it was literally translated from BASIC, with painfully slow 'multiplications' to calculate the bitmap address and which bit to set. You don't do that this way in ML, one uses tables instead! | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Frank McCann
Francis Daniel McCann, better known as Frank McCann (December 15, 1938 – April 2, 2021) was a historian, and an American Brazilianist expert in Brazilian military history. He was a professor emeritus at the University of New Hampshire.
Emeritus Professor of International Relations at the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF), he was called "a great American and a great friend of Brazil".
Military Brazilianist
A famous Brazilianist, he wrote the book Soldiers of the Pátria, about the mentality and internal politics of the Brazilian Army during the formative period after the Paraguayan War and the proclamation of the dictatorship of the Estado Novo by Getúlio Vargas in 1937.
Frank also wrote another great work, the book Aliança Brasil-Estados Unidos 1937-1945, studying the relations between Brazil and the United States. First published in 1974, it ran for an honorable mention for the Bolton Prize and was the winner of the 1975 Bernath Prize. It was edited in Brazil by the Army Library (Bibliex). One of the comments made by McCann was the invitation to Brazil to participate in the administration of occupied Austria at the end of World War II.
In addition to a reference bibliography, Frank McCann has also published several periodicals and was invited to write chapters in books, generally aimed at the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. Among these various contributions is the last chapter in the 3rd edition (revised and enlarged) of the book A Luta dos Pracinhas: A FEB 50 anos depois - uma visão crítica (The Fight of the Pracinhas: FEB 50 years later - a critical view), by Joel Silveira and Tassilo Mitke. In his journal ''Brazil and World War II: The Forgotten Ally. What did you do in the war, Zé Carioca?'', McCann brings a global view of Brazil's participation in World War II, analyzing the strategic thinking of Brazilian leaders, such as Góis Monteiro and Getúlio Vargas, acting in the South Atlantic and in Italy. The text briefly analyzes Brazilian aviation, but its main focus is on the land component. About the expeditionary division, McCann concluded:"'The FEB completed all the missions confided to it and compared favorably with the American divisions of the Fourth Corps. Unfortunately, the heavy symbolism of Monte Castello has obscured the FEB's victory at Montese on April 16, in which it took the town after a four-day gruelling battle, suffering 426 casualties. In the next days, it fought to a standstill the German 148th Division and Fascist Italian Monte Rosa, San Marco, and Italia Divisions, which surrendered to General Mascarenhas on April 29–30. In a matter of days, the Brazilians trapped and took the surrender of 2 generals, 800 officers, and 14,700 troops. The 148th was the only intact German division to surrender on that front. Although they had little preparation and served under foreign command, against a combat-experienced enemy, the 'Smoking Cobras,' as the FEB was nicknamed, had shown, as one of their songs put it, the 'fiber of the Brazilian army' and the 'grandeza de nossa gente' [greatness of our people].' (McCann, 1995, pg.15)"The song mentioned by McCann is Fibra de Herói (Hero Fiber). Other lesser-known books include Modern Brazil: Elites and Masses in Historical Perspective, co-authored with Michael L. Conniff, and A Nação Armada: Ensaios sobre a História do Exército Brasileiro. His latest book was Brazil and the United States During World War II and Its Aftermath: Negotiating Alliance and Balancing Giants, published on 6 October 2018 by publisher Palgrave MacMillan.
The Brazilian government recognized his commitment to the study of the country, conferring on him the titles of Commander of the Order of Rio Branco (1987) and the Medalha do Pacificador (Peacemaker Medal, 1995). Professor Frank McCann was fluent in Portuguese.

-- Joy Cuts Outlook as Commodity Prices Curb Equipment Sales
Joy Global Inc. (JOY) , the largest maker of
underground mining equipment, cut its full-year profit and sales
forecasts and said it sees no immediate recovery in orders as
commodity producers reduce spending amid surplus supply. Net income will be $5.60 to $5.80 a share on revenue of
$4.9 billion to $5 billion in the year through October, the
Milwaukee-based company said today in a statement. That’s lower
than its February projection for per-share profit of $5.75 to
$6.35 on sales of $4.9 billion to $5.2 billion. Joy posted second-quarter earnings excluding restructuring
costs of $1.73 a share, beating the $1.56 average of 19
analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company’s customers have cut capital spending by 40
percent to 50 percent in response to lower commodity prices, Joy
said. Sales of new equipment slumped 33 percent in the second
quarter, driven by weakness in the U.S., where coal producers
have struggled to compete as some power utilities switch to
cheaper natural gas. “Encouraging signs in many areas of the economy have not
yet translated to the industrial sector, which is the primary
source of commodity demand,” Chief Executive Officer Mike Sutherlin said in the statement. “We expect customers to
continue to deploy capex for mining equipment on a selective
basis.” Joy rose 1 percent to $55.61 at the close in New York. The
shares have declined 13 percent this year. To contact the reporter on this story:

OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE
SOFTWARE.
Description: A bag of functions and datamodels for playing around with patent data.
See ```requirements.txt``` for dependencies.
## EPO OPS Data
The functions in ```patentdata.py``` help with automating applicant searches
using the EPO OPS service.
To use the EPO OPS service you need to enter your consumer key and secret in a
```config.ini``` file in the ```data``` directory. These should be entered as follows:
```
[Login Parameters]
C_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
C_SECRET=bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
```
## USPTO Data
The functions in ```corpus.py``` can be used to help parse downloaded USPTO patent data.
These functions can parse and extract the compressed files in situ without needing extraction.
Download data from 2001 to 2015 [here](https://www.google.com/googlebooks/uspto-patents-applications-text-with-embedded-images.html).
Initialise a corpus by passing the path of the data directory, e.g.:
```
import corpus
c = corpus.USPublications("/path/to/downloaded/data/2005")
```
This will perform a first level of file scanning. It is recommended to generate
separate objects for each year. (There are a lot of files!)
### Lazy Retrieval Options
There are a number of methods that allow you to retrieve patentdata without storing
large arrays in memory.
For example:
```
xml_generator = c.iter_xml()
```
creates a generator that iterates through the patent publications in the path.
You can use this in methods such as:
```
for xmldoc in xml_generator:
xmldoc.title()
```
There is also a search function that takes a publication number (e.g. 'US20050123456')
as input and returns a Patent Doc object if the publication number exists, e.g.:
```
pd = c.get_patentdoc('US20050123456')
```
### Quicker Methods that Create an Index of Files
There are also quicker retrieval methods that use a list of all the separate patent files.
These methods may lead to memory errors and slow performance on older machines.
To get a list of all the files use the method:
```
c.get_archive_list()
```
(This can take a while - have a cup of tea.)
On big collections (e.g. 15 years worth) this tends to generate memory errors.
Individual publications can then be retrieved using an index.
The files can be viewed using the attribute:
```
c.archive_file_list
```
And filedata for a particular file in the list may be retrieved by:
```
filedata = c.read_xml([index])
```
where "[index]" is replaced by an integer representing the index in archive_file_list.
### XMLDoc PatentDoc Objects
There are two objects that may be used to play with the patent data.
#### XMLDoc
The first is a wrapper for XML data called XMLDoc.
For example, text may be extracted by processing the filedata obtained above as XML.
```
xmldoc = corpus.XMLDoc(filedata)
xmldoc.title()
xmldoc.description_text()
xmldoc.claim_text()
xmldoc.all_text()
```
This text may form the input for natural language processing analysis.
#### PatentDoc
The PatentDoc object is independent of the underlying XML.
The XMLDoc to_patentdoc() method returns a PatentDoc object from an XMLDoc object.
It has some methods for natural language processing of the patent elements.
These can be found in the ```corpus_models.py``` file in the ```models``` folder.
For example:
```
pd = c.get_patentdoc('US20050123456')
pd = c.get_doc(i).to_patentdoc()
pd.reading_time(reading_rate=100)
pd.description.text()
pd.claimset.get_claim(1).get_dependency_groups()
pd.claimset.get_claim(10).split_into_features()
```
Caveat: There may be a few bugs. I am testing (and building some tests) to squash these.
Package will improve with time.

With Streaming, Musicians and Fans Find Room to Experiment and Explore
Something unexpected happened near the top of the album charts this year: Pop stars were acting like artists. That is to say, they weren’t desperately chasing the broadest possible audience with the most surefire formulas; they weren’t calculating what would fit radio formats best. Instead, some of them grew eccentric and adventurous, impulsive and experimental, instinctive and personal — at times, bordering on avant-garde. And they found that listeners were willing to pay attention. In 2016, Billboard’s Top 200 album chart had entries in the Top 10 by Beyoncé, Kanye West, Solange, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean and Radiohead: arty, idiosyncratic, often dark statements that counted on listeners to engage with them fully. Rihanna’s “Anti,” which did have hit singles (including “Work”) to drive sales, turned out to be a brittle, even confrontational album about compulsive lust and multilevel betrayal. There were also final, uncompromising albums in the Top 10 from elders like David Bowie, Leonard Cohen and A Tribe Called Quest. On all of these major releases, the music often eluded genre, tried odd structures and toyed with austerity or overload; there was a sense, illusory or not, of private statements being unveiled. They were closer in spirit to musicians working on the edges of pop, like Anohni or Dev Hynes of Blood Orange, than to its commercial center. This isn’t to say that mass-market, radio-friendly pop was scarce or in any way eclipsed; just ask the Chainsmokers. But making pop bangers, or trying to, was no longer the only game in town. Frank Ocean’s “Blonde,” for instance, comes across as more of a homemade reverie than a pop album. Its production, despite a few plush moments, is most often minimal, using just an instrument or two. It has songs that barely bother with a beat; songs without choruses; songs that process his voice into unnatural, barely intelligible tones and songs that sound like sketches or barely finished demos. Mr. West’s “The Life of Pablo” arrived online as a work in progress that he was still tinkering with; the fact that it was streaming, in files that he could replace at whim, allowed him to keep tweaking it long after its release date. Those two albums, like those by Beyoncé and Solange, appeared suddenly online as full-fledged cultural events. Streaming encouraged millions of fans to check them out immediately, on their own terms. Chalk up these artistic choices, in part, to performers’ creative ambitions and the stubbornness to get them realized, as well as to the increasing clout of individual stars versus a scrambling music business. The seriousness of an election year may well have been another factor. Yet looming behind the change is also a shift in the medium and delivery system — to streaming — and in the metrics that streaming enables. Streaming music services, with a monthly subscription fee to hear a vast catalog, have been around since Rhapsody (now Napster) appeared in 2001. But in 2016, streaming came into its own as the prime outlet for music. According to Nielsen research, for the first 50 weeks of 2016 audio on demand — streaming — had become a larger part of the music business (38 percent) than digital sales (36 percent); as sales of downloads fell, streaming had risen by 77 percent over 2015. By the end of 2015, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry reported, 68 million people worldwide were paying for streaming subscriptions; that number could reach 100 million in the first part of 2017. Two services dominate streaming: Spotify claims 40 million paid subscribers out of its 100 million users worldwide; Apple claimed 20 million paying subscribers this month. Because streaming services automatically count clicks, they make it possible to tabulate more precisely what people are listening to. In years past, a sale of a disc or a download revealed only that the transaction had been made. But a streaming service knows exactly how many plays every song is getting; it measures usage beyond the one-time purchase. And those streaming statistics, along with sales and radio plays, are now included in compiling the pop charts (though it takes 1,500 streams to equal one album sale purchase). The combination of sales, radio and streaming is arguably a far more accurate assessment of which music is finding an audience at any given moment. And because the music business, like all creative industries, runs on ego as well as revenue, a higher chart position is positive feedback for a star who’s thinking about taking chances. Even better, streaming changes the incentives for listeners. Paying for individual songs as downloads tore apart the album; getting a song legally for 99 cents was a commitment, one that limited the audience for the album cuts beyond radio-approved, video-promoted hits. Homemade or corporate-suggested playlists prize a song by itself, not as part of some broader work; it didn’t help, either, that so many pop albums have always been singles plus filler. Online music stores have also encouraged a winner-takes-all approach not that different from Top 20 radio: Grab the crowd-pleasing song at the top of the listings and ignore the rest. When “most popular” can be tabulated so easily, it’s more tempting than ever to accept that taste can be crowdsourced, especially since so many of us want to know what everyone else is listening to. John Seabrook’s book “The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory” delved into the 21st-century pop that resulted from concentrating on single tracks: We got songs that were fabricated as masterpieces of instant gratification, full of technological sizzle and concocted by a surprisingly small clique of professionals for a highly competitive A-list of pop stars, who added some small personal garnish to the committee efforts. The same people write for (and with) Taylor Swift, the Weeknd and Adele; they knew the secrets of radio play, which is still seen as the best guarantee of mass success despite the occasional online breakout. Streaming, instead, encourages curiosity. With streaming rather than downloads, access replaces ownership and the commitment is of time, not money. That’s still significant, but it doesn’t feel so irrevocable. Where downloads and playlists favored the lone song, streaming gives the artist and the album a fighting chance again. Anyone interested in a particular artist, from die-hard fans to novelty seekers, can listen to a whole album repeatedly — not just song samples, not just YouTube choices — and let subtler material sink in. Musicians don’t need to think so exclusively about what sounds, beats and structures the radio gatekeepers will allow; they can get poetic, political, sonically weird or all of the above. While big and glossy still works, it’s just possible that odd and heartfelt will, too. The stars themselves were getting a little bored with the hit factories anyway. In recent years, songwriting camps — the high-pressure, high-yield gatherings, convened by stars, that toss together songwriting pros in various permutations — have been inviting outliers like Grimes, Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, Romy Madley Croft of the xx and Tom Krell of How to Dress Well, deliberately introducing unconventional thinking. Star projects are often still committee efforts, but the committees and the stars are more daring. And a fan who lets an album stream from start to finish may well find something that feels quirky and intimate credited to half a dozen collaborators. This is not yet, alas, the realization of “the long tail,” that utopian dream of online culture in which every artist, best-selling or esoteric, would reach every possible fan. Most of the experimenters who reached the Top 10 are already big names who established themselves with radio hits (or who were featured on hitmakers’ albums, like the sometime Mr. West collaborator Bon Iver). They don’t have to strive for recognition; they have fans eagerly awaiting whatever they do next, even if it’s Mr. Ocean’s album-length “Endless” video that shows him constructing a spiral staircase in a white room. The career path is still precarious for unknowns who want to destabilize pop. Nobody’s typing their names into streaming-service search boxes yet. But maybe, optimistically, they have a little more hope in a streaming universe. Streaming services also pride themselves on their recommendation engines, and if the stars are allowing themselves to stray beyond pop’s comfort zones, they could point their listeners there, too, toward sources and fringes and subtleties. Musicians have already begun to understand that they can collect a sizable number of streaming listeners one by one, in a series of individual discoveries, rather than always pitching their music to a mass audience. They can make pop that’s not for everybody, and that doesn’t try to be. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Chennai Bus Rapid Transit System
* See also Chennai Rapid Bus Transit Ways, another planned bus transit system.
Chennai BRTS was a bus rapid transit system taken up as an integrated part of Circular Corridor Project in India. Beginning at Adyar, the route will cover Saidapet, Jafferkanpet, Ramavaram, Puzhal, Manali, Chennai Central Railway Station, Lighthouse and will return to Adyar. The corridor will cover a distance of 70.3 km. The route of the elevated BRTS corridor was planned to run along the banks of Adyar river and Buckingham canal. The project was expected to be completed by 2013.
Corridors
The BRTS system was supposed to be integrated with the Circular Corridor 1 of the High Speed Circular Corridors.
* Lighthouse — Adyar — IT corridor — Kundrathur — Madhuravoyal — Ennore — Vyasarpadi — Chennai Port — Lighthouse (Outer ellipse, Longest) [70.3 km]
Alignment
The Exclusive BRTS lane was proposed to be integrated with the circular corridor 1. Two different types were under consideration.
* Along the median of the 6-lane single-tier system.
* On top of the 6-lane two-tier system. BRTS 2-lanes was proposed on the top tier and 4-lane for general traffic at the bottom second tier.
The following was the general alignment of the entire BRTS corridor. This was the alignment of the entire BRTS corridor.
* Thiru-vi-ka Bridge — Ramavaram (elevated, along the median of circular corridor or top tiers)
* Ramavaram — NH-bypass (elevated, grade separated, beneath the circular corridor 1)
* NH-bypass — Madhavaram (elevated, along NH-bypass median)
* Madhavaram — TPP Road (elevated, along the median of IRR)
* TPP Road — Manali Oil Refinery(MOR) (elevated, along the median of Manali Oil Refinery Road (MORR)
* MOR — Chennai Central (elevated, along the western banks of North Buckingham Canal)
* Chennai Central — Adyar (elevated, along the Buckingham canal and abutting the MRTS)
Station type
Tower structure was proposed for the BRTS stations. Two types depending on the type of the corridor [single or more tiers] were proposed.
* Towers along the median of the 6-lane single tier system.
* Towers along the curb-side for the 2-tier and 3-tier system.
Station locations
21 bus stations were proposed for the first phase of the BRTS.
Design speed
The speed design for the BRTS corridor was proposed to be 60 km/h - 70 km/h.
Integration of BRTS with other transits
The BRTS was proposed to be integrated with different modes of transits already existing or under construction or proposed for the city. Apart from that major roads were also to be integrated. The following is a list of locations of BRTS integrating different modes of Transport in Chennai city.
2008
November:
* Wilbur Smith Associates won the contract of TNUIFSL to prepare the feasibility study and DPR for the project.
2009
28 May: 3 June: 26 August:
* DPR, cost estimates, work drawings and bid documents for the first leg of BRTS on Adyar corridor of the Chennai High Speed Circular Corridors (HSCC) was released to the public.
* Public consultation will be held soon.
* Residents oppose the project as they will be displaced for the project.
* Adyar Poonga Trust promises to resettle the displaced.
* Feasibility study for the project was likely to be over by January 2010. Total Corridor length was 110 km. | WIKI |

How can I get the current controller in YII2?

@cyril.littel
In Yii2, you can get the current controller using the $this variable within a controller action method.
For example, if you want to get the name of the current controller, you can use the id property of the controller:
1
2
3
4
5
public function actionIndex()
{
$controllerId = $this->id;
// ...
}
If you want to get the fully qualified class name of the current controller, you can use the get_class() function:
1
2
3
4
5
public function actionIndex()
{
$controllerClass = get_class($this);
// ...
}
Note that if you are not within a controller action method, you will need to use a different method to get the current controller. For example, you can use the Yii::$app->controller property to get the currently active controller:
1
2
3
4
$controller = Yii::$app->controller;
if ($controller instanceof yiiwebController) {
$controllerId = $controller->id;
}
This will give you the same result as using $this within a controller action method. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Mexican peso drops amid fragile trade talks and a hit from ratings agencies
The Mexican peso rebounded against the dollar on Thursday following a report that the U.S. may delay Mexico tariffs. Earlier the peso was down as much a 1.4% but is now trading down 0.3% after Bloomberg News reported that the U.S. was considering delaying the tariffs on Mexico. President Donald Trump's 5% tariff on all Mexican goods was supposed to go into place on Monday but according to the report, Mexico pushed for more time to negotiate immigration issues. The weakness is the currency earlier in the day came after two ratings agencies lowered their outlook on the country amid heightened trade tensions with the U.S. Moody's Investors Service on Thursday cut the outlook on the Government of Mexico's ratings to negative from stable, citing "unpredictable policymaking" and "lower growth." Fitch slashed Mexico's rating to near junk status, noting the worsening credit profile of the state oil company Pemex. "The policy framework is weakening in two key respects, with potential negative implications for growth and debt," Jaime Reusche, senior credit officer at Moody's said in a statement. "First, unpredictable policymaking is undermining investor confidence and medium-term economic prospects. Second, lower growth, together with changes to energy policy and the role of PEMEX, introduce risks to Mexico's medium-term fiscal outlook." | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

-- King Predicts `Elevated' U.K. Inflation After Rate Breaches 3%
Bank of England Governor Mervyn King
said inflation will remain “elevated” throughout 2011 after it
unexpectedly accelerated in October, forcing him to write the
fourth letter of explanation to the Treasury this year. “The committee is ready to adjust policy -- in either
direction -- in order to ensure that the risks to the outlook
for inflation in the medium term remain evenly balanced around
the 2 percent target,” King said in a letter to Chancellor of
the Exchequer George Osborne released by the central bank today. Consumer prices increased 3.2 percent in October from a
year earlier, exceeding the median forecast of 3.1 percent in a
Bloomberg News survey and prompting King to write to Osborne
explaining why inflation is breaching the 3 percent limit.
Policy makers have split three ways on whether to raise interest
rates to curb prices or add stimulus to aid the recovery. “With continued increases in the headline rate of
inflation well above target, the bank is facing an unenviable
communication challenge to try and explain why further easing
would be needed,” London-based Nomura International Plc
economist Philip Rush said in a telephone interview today. “We
expect inflation to peak at 3.7 percent in February next year
and start falling back.” The pound rose as much as 0.3 percent after the data before
resuming its drop against the dollar. The currency traded at
$1.5996 as of 11:13 a.m. in London. The yield on the benchmark
two-year government bond was down 2 basis points today at 1.053
percent. Gasoline, Games Inflation accelerated because of increases in costs of
gasoline and diesel, overdraft charges and mortgage arrangement
fees, and computer games, the Office for National Statistics
said. The result exceeded the median forecast of 28 economists
in a Bloomberg News survey. On the month, prices increased by
0.3 percent. Inflation has exceeded 3 percent this year in every month
apart from February. The central bank predicts that increases in
commodity costs and higher sales tax will keep the rate above
the 2 percent goal next year, masking underlying subdued price
pressures from the aftermath of the recession . Core inflation, which excludes costs of energy, alcohol,
food and tobacco, stayed at 2.7 percent in October. That
exceeded the median forecast of 2.6 percent in a Bloomberg News
survey of 14 economists. Next Plc , the U.K.’s second-biggest clothing retailer, said
on Nov. 3 that selling prices will increase “at the top end”
of its previous prediction of 5 percent to 8 percent increases
in the first quarter as cotton costs climb. ‘Substantial Risks’ “As you highlight, the prospects for inflation remain
highly uncertain, with substantial risks in both directions,”
Osborne wrote in a letter responding to King, noting that the
“range of views” among policy makers is “wider than usual.” “I re-emphasize here that the MPC’s symmetric inflation
target ensures vigilance on both upside and downside risks,”
Osborne said. The governor must write to the chancellor every three
months when the inflation rate deviates more than a point from
the central target in either direction. King wrote today that
the inflation “is likely to remain elevated throughout 2011”
and the rate “might rise further” in coming months. Still, the bank’s “central view remains that spare
capacity within companies and in the labor market will continue
to put downward pressure on inflation,” he said. “The depth of
the recession means that a margin of spare capacity is likely to
persist for some while.” Economic Recovery The economy’s recovery has still shown signs of maintaining
momentum. Gross domestic product rose 0.8 percent in the third
quarter, twice the pace forecast by economists. King said last
week that economic growth will exceed its historical average
“for much of the forecast period.” The nine-member Monetary Policy Committee on Nov. 4 kept
its bond-purchase plan at 200 billion pounds ($320 billion) and
its interest rate at a record low of 0.5 percent. In October,
Andrew Sentance called for higher interest rates to combat
inflation, while Adam Posen pushed for more stimulus to sustain
the recovery. Minutes of this month’s decision are due tomorrow. King, Bank of England Deputy Governor Paul Tucker and Chief
Economist Spencer Dale will testify on the economy to lawmakers
in the House of Lords, Parliament’s upper chamber, at 3:30 p.m.
in London. To contact the reporter on this story:

@Override annotation in Java
@Override annotation was introduced in Java 1.5.
@Override annotation indicates that the element is meant to override an element declared in super class.
It is not required to use this annotation while overriding a method, but using @Override annotation helps in preventing errors.
If you do not override a method marked with @Override correctly, the compiler will generate compilation error.
public class Employee{
private String name;
/*This method will result in compilation error as
* it is incorrectly trying to override equals method.
*/
@Override
public boolean equals(Employee employee){
return name.equals(employee.name);
}
}
In this example, programmer is trying to override equals() method but instead has resulted in overloaded method. If @Override annotation is not used, compiler will not give any error as well as no exception will not be thrown at run time.
With @Override annotation, compiler will check if this method overrides a super class or interface method correctly or not. If it does not override correctly then it will throw compilation error ‘The method equals(Employee) of type Employee must override or implement a supertype method’ in this case.
So, using @Override annotation saves time by avoiding errors related to overriding.
A programmer should always consider using this @Override annotation when dealing with many sub classes and overriding code. This will help in saving errors and debug time.
In short @Override annotation:
• Helps is saving from hard to find errors and debug time by raising compilation errors when method is not overridden correctly.
• Helps in improving readability of the code. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Opinion by
Judge FOX.
11 In this dispute over a conservation easement encumbering mutual ditch shares, Sam A. and Susie R. Allen (the Allens), defendants, appeal the trial court's judgment (1) granting summary judgment in favor of plaintiff, Mesa County Land Conservancy, Inc. (Mesa Land Trust); (2) denying the Allens' motions for summary judgment; and (8) granting injunctive relief in favor of Mesa Land Trust. We affirm.
I. Background
2 In 1990, the United States, acting by and through the Farmers Home Administration, granted a deed of conservation easement (the 1990 Easement) to Mesa Land Trust. The conservation easement covered 140 acres of land in Mesa County, Colorado (the property), and provided that "(alll water rights held at the date of this conveyance shall remain with this land." The 1990 Easement was recorded in the Mesa County real estate records. When the United States conveyed the 1990 Easement to Mesa Land Trust, the United States held nine shares of capital stock in a mutual ditch company, the Big Creek Reservoir Company (the Big Creek shares), which was a vehicle for the ownership of water rights.
T3 The Allens purchased the property in 1993, subject to the 1990 Easement. The deed transferring the property to the Allens specifically referred to the Big Creek Shares. In 2007, the Allens sold the property, but purported to exempt the Big Creek shares from the conveyance. Mesa Land Trust sought declaratory and injunctive relief against the Allens for violating the terms of the 1990 Easement by attempting to sever the Big Creek shares from the land.
T4 The Allens filed two motions for summary judgment on grounds that the Big Creek shares were not encumbered by the 1990 Easement because the Easement did not comply with section 88-80.5-104(5), C.R.S8.2011, or with article 8 of Colorado's Uniform Commercial Code. Mesa Land Trust filed a motion for summary judgment seeking a declaratory judgment that the Allens may not exempt the Big Creek shares from the conveyance. The trial court denied the Allens' motions, and issued a permanent injunction in favor of Mesa Land Trust, requiring the Allens to convey the Big Creek shares to the purchasers and prohibiting the Allens from severing the Big Creck shares from the property. The Allens appeal the judgment.
IL - Standard of Review
5 Because the parties do not dispute the facts, and each issue presented is one of law, our review is de novo. Bly v. Story, 241 P.3d 529, 583 (Colo.2010) (statutory interpretation is a question of law that we review de novo); Palizszi v. City of Brighton, 228 P.8d 957, 962 (Colo.2010) (we review legal conclusions de novo) City of Golden v. Parker, 138 P.83d 285, 289 (Col0.2006) (the application of a constitutional standard is a question of law subject to de novo review).
III. 2008 Amendments to the Conservation Easement Statute
T 6 In 2008, the General Assembly amended certain parts of the conservation easement statutes, sections 88-80.5-101 to -111, C.R.S. 2011 (the 2003 amendment). The Allens contend that the 1990 Easement is invalid because (1) the definition of "conservation easement" in the relevant statute in effect in 1990 did not authorize encumbrance of water rights; and (2) the Easement does not comply with the notice requirement in the 2003 amendment of section 38-80.5-104(5). Mesa Land Trust contends that the 1990 Easement is valid because the definition of conservation easement in the statute in effect (the 1976 statute) when the 1990 Easement was created allowed water rights to be encumbered, and, if the 2003 amendment to the notice requirement - applies - retroactively, - the amendment is unconstitutionally retrospective. We conclude that the notice requirement does not apply retroactively.
17 As pertinent here, article II, section 11 of the Colorado Constitution provides that the General Assembly shall not pass a law that is retrospective in operation. Although retroactive application of a statute is disfavored, such application is not necessarily unconstitutional; only retrospective legislation is constitutionally prohibited. Powell II, 156 P.3d at 465. We first consider whether the legislature intended the legislation to apply retroactively. City of Greenwood Village v. Petitioners for Proposed City of Centenmial, 3 P.8d 427, 444 (Colo.2000). If the law was intended to apply retroactively, the question of constitutionality rests on whether the legislation impairs a vested right or creates a new obligation. Id.; see also Van Sickle v. Boyes, 797 P.2d 1267, 1271-72 (Colo.1990). If the retroactive application of the legislation violates the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws, it is deemed retrospective and, as such, is invalid. (Greenwood Village, 3 P.3d at 444; Vam Sickle, 797 P.2d at 1271-72.
A. Retroactive Intent
T8 Absent legislative intent to the contrary, a statute is presumed to operate prospectively, meaning it operates on transactions occurring after its effective date. In re Estate of DeWitt, 54 P.3d 849, 854 (Colo. 2002).
T9 In addition to the presumption that legislation applies prospectively, there is also a presumption that, when the legislature amends a statute, it intends to change the existing law. Academy of Charter Schs. v. Adams Cnty. Sch. Dist. No. 12, 82 P.8d 456, 466 (Colo.2001). This presumption can be rebutted, however, by showing that the legislature intended only to clarify an existing ambiguity in the statute. Id. Accordingly, if an amendment clarifies an ambiguity, the law remains unchanged by the amendment, and "it may provide convincing evidence of the legislature's intent to apply the amendment retroactively." Powell v. City of Colo. Springs, 181 P.8d 1129, 1182 (Colo. (Powell I), affirmed, 156 P.3d 461 (Colo. 2007) (Powell II ).
110 We employ a three-part analysis to distinguish between a change and a clarification by (1) assessing whether the statute was ambiguous before it was amended, (2) reviewing the legislative history surrounding an ambiguous amendment, and (8) considering the statute's plain language. Powell II, 156 P.8d at 465; Academy of Charter Schs., 82 P.3d at 464.
1. Ambiguity Before the Amendment
111 The 1976 version of section 38-30.5-102 defined a conservation easement in gross as "a right in the owner of the easement to prohibit or require, a limitation upon, or an obligation to perform, acts on or with respect to a land or water area or air space above the land or water owned by the grantor." Ch. 153, see. 1, § 38-80.5-102, 1976 Colo. Sess. Laws 750 (emphasis added). In 2008, House Bill 08-1008 (the bill) was passed. The bill amended the definition to include "water rights beneficially used upon that land or water area," as follows:
"Conservation easement in gross," for the purposes of this article, means a right in the owner of the easement to prohibit or require a limitation upon or an obligation to perform acts on or with respect to a land or water area, airspace above the land or water, or water rights beneficially used upon that land or water area, owned by the grantor....
§ 38-30.5-102, C.R.S8.2011.
« 12 The bill also modified section 38-80.5-104(1), which originally authorized creation of a conservation easement in gross "by the record owners of the surface of the land," Ch. 158, see. 1, § 38-80.5-104(1), 1976 Colo. Sess. Laws 751, to include, "if applicable, owners of the water or water rights beneficially used thereon," as follows:
A conservation easement in gross may only be created by the record owners of the surface of the land and, if applicable, owners of the water or water rights beneficially used thereon by a deed or other instrument of conveyance specifically stating the intention of the grantor to create such an easement under this article.
88-80.5-104(1), C.R.S8.2011.
1 13 The 1976 statute used the term "water right" in section 88-80.5-110, which provided that the statute would not impair, invalidate, or adversely affect "any transfer of a water right or any change of a point of diversion at any time." Ch. 153, see. 1, § 388-80.5-110, 1976 Colo. Sess. Laws 752. The 1976 statute's use of the term "water right" in section 38-80.5-110 could indicate an intention to reference the beneficial use of water. This could suggest that, by using the term "water area" rather than "water right" in section 38-80.5-102, the legislature intended to exclude water rights from the sections that authorized and defined conservation easements. However, including the phrase "water right" in section 88-80.5-110 suggests that former 38-80.5-102 authorized conservation easements that included water rights, even though it used the terminology "water area." - Because different interpretations are possible, we conclude that the 1976 statute was ambiguous as to whether "water rights" were included in section 88-80.5-102.
T 14 When the 2008 amendment was introduced to the House Committee on Agriculture, Representative Lola Spradley, one of the amendment's main sponsors, noted the ambiguity, and the need to resolve it:
[WlJe have a responsibility to ... remove ambiguity when people are making big decisions. ... [OJne of [the] things that we've identified [i]s ... a possible ambiguity [unintelligible] the water rights and whether or not they are included, excluded and what the ... issues are with water rights . if there's a willing buyer, willing seller on ... these conservation easements. Hearings on H.B. 08-1008 before the H. Agric., Livestock & Natural Res. Comm., 64th General Assemb., Ist Sess. (Jan. 29, 20083) (House Committee Hearing).
1 15 Thus, the plain language of the previous statute, combined with contemporaneous constructions of the statute's language, convinces us that before the amendment, the statute was ambiguous with respect to water rights. We therefore proceed to consider the legislative history of the statute. See Powell TII, 156 P.3d at 465 (when determining whether the legislature intended to clarify or change existing law, we consider (1) whether the statute was ambiguous before the it was amended; (2) the legislative history surrounding the amendment, and (8) the plain language of the statute).
2. Legislative History
116 The legislative history reveals an unequivocal intent to clarify, and not to change, the statute. Although not conclusive proof of legislative intent, statements made during committee hearings reveal the understanding of legislators and thus, help identify their intent. People v. Rockwell, 125 P.3d 410, 419 (Colo.2005). Testimony of a bill's sponsor concerning its purpose and anticipated effect can be powerful evidence of legislative intent. Vensor v. People, 151 P.3d 1274, 1279 (Colo.2007). At three different hearings, the bill's primary sponsors, Representative Spradley and Senator Ken Kestor, discussed the intent to clarify the easement statute:
e On January 29, 2008 at a hearing before the House
Agriculture Committee, Representative Spradley testified: }
[Wle've had willing buyers and willing sellers enter into conservation easements where ... the value of [the easement] may have to do with some of the water facilities on that property ... the water to protect the hay field, the water for wetlands.... [There has] been discussion and been a commitment from the land owner that those things will stay there. But, it [has] not been explicitly expressed in here and in order to avoid litigation, in the future about that clarification, because everybody had a legal opinion. It says, yes you can do what you've been doing, but in order to avoid litigation in the future, we're simply here to clarify that ... and to clarify those terms and conditions....
House Committee Hearing (emphasis added).
e On February 3, 2008, during the second reading before the House, Representative Spradley testified:
[The bill} basically takes care of some concerns about the language ... and uses language that those in the water industry are more comfortable with ... and i clarifies the issue when you have a ditch company involved. Second Reading of H.B. 03-1008 before the House, 64th Gen. Assemb., Ist Sess. (Feb. 3, 2008) (emphasis added) (House Second Reading).
e On February 27, 2003 before the Senate Agricultural
Committee, Senator Kestor testified:
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the [unintelligible] rights and legislation for conservation easements where the land is voluntarily protected by those easements and this would ... tie the water rights to the land to help protect its conservation value.
Hearing on H.B. 03-1008 before the S. Agric., Natural Res. & Energy Comm., 64th Gen. Assemb., Ist Sess. (Feb. 27, ©2003) (emphasis added) (Senate Committee Hearing).
17 Indications of what the legislature did not intend can be as important as indications of what the legislature intended. Vensor, 151 P.3d at 1279. The sponsors testified that the bill was not intended to change the existing law. Representative Spradley stated, "[The billl does not change existing water law. It doesn't change, and it doesn't undermine existing water law." House Committee Hearing.
18 As discussed below, because there is no other legislative history contradicting the bill sponsors' repeated and express intentions to clarify, and not to change, the statute, we conclude that the legislative history indicates that the 2008 amendment was intended to clarify an ambiguity in the law. See Academy of Charter Schs., 32 P.3d at 466.
3. The Statutory Language
19 The applicability section of the separate amendment to section 838-80.5-104(2) states, "The provisions of this act shall apply to conservation easements created prior to, on, or after the applicable effective date of this act." Ch. 142, see. 2(2), 2008 Colo. Sess. Laws 1022 (emphasis added). Section 38-30.5-111(2), C.R.S.2011, states, "Any conservation easement in gross affecting water rights created prior to the effective date of this subsection (2) shall be a binding, legal, and enforceable obligation if it complies with the requirements of this article" (emphasis added). Although the statute does not contain the word "retroactive," the statute applies expressly to conservation easements created before the 2003 amendment.
120 Our analysis indicates that (1) the statutory language was ambiguous before the 2008 amendment; (2) the legislature intended to clarify, and not to change, the statute; and (8) the statute includes a provision that the 2003 amendment applies to previously created conservation easements, We therefore conclude that the legislature intended the statute to apply retroactively. See, e.g., Academy of Charter Schs., 32 P.3d at 466 (legislature's intent to clarify the statute, and its response to the district court's decision, provide convincing evidence of the legislature's intent to apply the changes retroactively).
B. Retrospective Application .
121 Having determined that the legislature intended the 2008 amendment to be retroactive, we next consider whether the statute is unconstitutionally retrospective. Greenwood Village, 3 P.3d at 444. A statute is retrospective if it impairs a vested right or creates a new duty, obligation, or disability with respect to a past transaction. Id.
1 22 Mesa Land Trust contends that, if the 2008 amendment is retroactive, it is unconstitutionally retrospective solely as to the notice requirement because it impairs Mesa Land Trust's vested rights in the Big Creek shares. The Allens respond that the 20083 amendment is not retrospective because Mesa Land Trust does not have any vested rights in the Big Creek shares. According to the Allens' argument, because the 1976 statute did not recognize conservation easements encumbering water rights as valid interests in land, the 1990 Easement was void as to any interest in a water right.
123 We reject the Allens' argument because the 1976 statute authorized the creation of conservation easements encumbering water rights, and Mesa County's 1990 Easement gave it a vested interest in the water rights.
1. Pre-2008 Amendment Water Rights Easements
124 As discussed in section IILB. above, the legislature intended the 2003 amendment to clarify that the conservation easements applied to water rights. Because we concluded that the 2008 amendment did not change the law, and it is undisputed that the 2003 amendment includes water rights, it follows that the 1976 statute included water rights. Indeed, during the second reading of the bill before the House, Representative Spradley explained that the 2003 amendment was intended to validate the practice of encumbering water rights under the 1976 statute:
What this bill does is clarify that something that most of us agree happens.... And that is it simply says that water ... specifically can be used in a conservation easement.... [I]t simply clarifies that so at some future time, those people who've made that permanent commitment don't wind up in some kind of litigation over something that we all believe is included.
House Second Reading (emphasis added). If the bill had been intended to authorize the encumbrance of water rights for the first time, Representative Spradley would have said that the bill was intended to prevent litigation over something that they all believed should have been included; instead, Representative Spradley stated that the bill was intended to prevent litigation over something that "is included" (emphasis added). We therefore conclude that the 1976 statute always applied to water rights.
2, Section 88-80.5-111(2)
125 Section 88-80.5-111(2) contains a "grandfather clause." It states, "Any conservation easement in gross affecting water rights created prior to August 6, 2003, shall be a binding, legal, and enforceable obligation if it complies with the requirements of this article" (Emphasis added.) The article, as amended in 2008, added a notice requirement. The Allens contend that because the notice requirement was not met, the water rights at issue here were not "grandfathered in," and they were thus free to convey those water rights separately from the land irrespective of the conservation easement. We next consider the notice requirement.
3. Notice Requirement
126 In addition to clarifying that the statute applies to water rights, the legislature added the following notice requirement in the 2003 statute:
If a water right is represented by shares in a mutual ditch or reservoir company, a conservation easement in gross that encumbers the water right may be created or revoked only after sixty days' notice and in accordance with the applicable requirements of the mutual ditch or reservoir company, including, but not limited to, its articles of incorporation and bylaws....
§ 38-30.5-104(5), C.R.S.2011. We agree with the trial court that application of the 2008 notice requirement to easements that predated the enactment of that requirement would be unconstitutional.
T27 First, imposing the notice requirement on pre-existing conservation easements would directly undermine the legislature's intentions, because it would render pre-exist-ing conservation easements invalid unless, by chance, a grantor complied with a sixty-day notice provision that did not exist when the 1990 Easement was created. Additionally, such an interpretation would lead to litigation over pre-existing easements to determine whether the 2008 notice requirements were satisfied when the encumbrance was created, which would clearly be contrary to legislative intent. See House Second Reading (explaining that the bill is intended to prevent litigation); see also Hernandez v. People, 176 P.3d 746, 751 (Colo.2008) (appellate court avoids an interpretation of a statute that leads to "illogical or absurd results").
128 As the record here shows, the Allens are attempting to gain a windfall profit by severing the water rights from the land and selling those valuable rights separately. In essence, they have tried to convey more rights than they acquired from the United States in 1998. The land they purchased in 1993 was already burdened with the 1990 Easement, which included the Big Creek Shares. Interpreting the 2008 amendment to invalidate the application of the easement to water rights based on a later-created notice requirement would not serve any legitimate purpose. The notice requirement most likely was intended to benefit the ditch company, not the Allens. We must avoid any statutory construction that would produce an illogical and absurd result. See Hernandez, 176 P.3d at 751.
129 Moreover, "our analysis is bounded by the principle that we must presume a statute to be constitutional." Buckley v. Chilcutt, 968 P.2d 112, 116 (Colo.1998). If two interpretations of a statute are possible, we must avoid the interpretation that renders it unconstitutional. Id. Interpreting the statute as imposing the sixty-day notice requirement on pre-existing conservation easements would render the statute unconstitutionally retrospective because it would invalidate water rights encumbrances that omitted a notice requirement that did not exist before 2003. See Greenwood Village, 3 P.3d at 444 (a statute is unconstitutionally retrospective if it impairs a vested right or creates a new duty, obligation, or disability with respect to a past transaction).
1 30 Here, as discussed above, the addition of the phrase "water rights" was meant to clarify the statute, and did not impose a new duty, obligation, or responsibility upon parties. However, the sixty-day notice requirement included in section 38-80.5-104(5) is not a clarification, but rather a new obligation, affecting substantive rights.
{31 To prevent unconstitutional retro-spectivity, we therefore construe the notice requirement of section 38-80.5-104(5) as applying prospectively only to conservation easements created on and after the date of the 2008 amendment, and conclude it does not apply to pre-existing encumbrances. This interpretation is consistent with our analysis of the legislative history, which indicates that the legislature intended to protect pre-existing conservation easements, not to invalidate them. See People v. District Court, 713 P.2d 918, 921 (Colo.1986) (we avoid statutory interpretations that defeat the obvious legislative intent, and when possible, we interpret a statute to give consistent, harmonious, and sensible effect to all of its parts); Glover v. Innis, 252 P.3d 1204, 1206-07 (Colo.App.2011) (same).
4. Big Creek Shares' Validity
1832 Given our construction of the 2003 amendment, we next turn to whether the contested water rights, the Big Creek shares, are valid. The parties dispute only whether the 1990 Easement complies with section 38-30.5-104, which addresses the creation of conservation easements. Thus, we need only determine whether the encumbrance of the Big Creek shares complied with the requirements for creating a conservation easement under then-applicable law, the 1976 statute.
133 The 1976 statute provided that "[a conservation easement in gross may only be created by the record owners of the surface of the land by a deed or other instrument of conveyance specifically stating the intention of the grantor to create such an easement." Ch. 158, see. 1, § 88-80.5-104(1), 1976 Colo. Sess. Laws 751. The United States was the record owner of the property and the Big Creek shares when it created the conservation easement by deed in 1990. The recorded 1990 Easement states the grantor's intent that "[alll water rights held at the date of this conveyance shall remain with this land." As mutual ditch shares, the Big Creek shares are water rights. See Jacobucci v. District Court, 189 Colo. 380, 387, 541 P.2d 667, 672 (1975). Thus, the 1990 Easement specifically stated the grantor's intent to encumber the Big Creek shares in accordance with then-existing statutory requirements. See also Denver Joint Stock Land Bank v. Markham, 106 Colo. 509, 513, 107 P.2d 318, 315 (1940) (looking to the intention of the grantor to determine whether water rights pass with the land); see also Valley Dev. Co. v. Weeks, 147 Colo. 591, 364 P.2d 780 (1961) (the owner of the servient estate cannot interfere with the rights of the dominant estate owner). Accordingly, the 1990 Easement was valid when it was created.
IV. UCC Applicability
134 The Allens contend that the Big Creek shares are securities subject to a prior version of Colorado's Uniform Commercial Code (the UCC), section 4-8-102. According to the Allens', even if the conservation easement is valid under the 2003 amendment, it is not effective against them because it did not comply with the UCC's notice requirements in former section 4-8-204. We reject the Allens' argument because the UCC does not apply to mutual ditch shares.
135 Section 4-8-102(1)(b), as it existed when the 1990 Easement was created, provided the following definition of securities:
A "certificated security" is a share, participation, or other interest in property or an enterprise of the issuer or an obligation of the issuer which is:
(I) Represented by an instrument issued in bearer or registered form;
(I1) Of a type commonly dealt in on seeurities exchanges or markets or commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment; and
(III) Either one of a class or series or by its terms divisible into a class or series of shares, participations, interests, or obligations.
Ch. 68, see. 1, § 4-8-102(1)(b), 1981 Colo. Sess. Laws 852-58.
136 It is well-settled in Colorado that mutual ditch company shares are "unlike ownership of stock in other corporate entities." Great Western Sugar Co. v. Jackson Lake Reservoir & Irrigation Co., 681 P.2d 484, 491 (Colo.1984); see also Southeastern Colo. Water Conservancy Dist. v. Fort Lyon Canal Co., 720 P.2d 133, 141 (Colo.1986) ("it is clear that stock ownership in a mutual ditch company constitutes ownership of a real property interest in water rights rather than a personal property interest in corporate stock") (Fort Lyon Canal); Jacobucci, 189 Colo. at 387, 541 P.2d at 672. This is so because a mutual ditch company is "merely the vehicle by which its owners operate and manage its affairs" and is "organized solely for the convenience of its members in the management of the irrigation and reservoir systems." Jacobucci, 189 Colo. at 387, 541 P.2d at 672 (citing Billings Ditch Co. v. Indus. Comm'n, 127 Colo. 69, 74, 253 P.2d 1058, 1060 (1953)).
137 "Because shareholders in a mutual ditch company own a right to apply water to a beneficial use instead of merely owning shares of corporate stock, ditch company shares are considered real property rather than personal property." Left Hand Ditch Co. v. Hill, 988 P.2d 1, 8-4 (Colo.1997). Thus, ownership of the mutual diteh stock "is merely incidental to the ownership of the water rights by the shareholders." Jacobuc-ci, 189 Colo. at 387, 541 P.2d at 672. Likewise, "mutual ditch companies are not 'true' corporations in a legal sense but merely vehicles for individual ownership of water rights." Fort Lyon Canal, 720 P.2d at 141; see also § 4-9-604(b)(2), C.R.S.2011 (recognizing that when a real property interest is encumbered, a secured party may proceed in accordance with any rights "with respect to real property").
138 The Allens submitted no evidence to the trial court to show that mutual ditch shares are "commonly dealt in on seeu-rities exchanges or markets or commonly recognized in any area in which it is issued or dealt in as a medium for investment," as required by the statutory definition of a "certificated security." Ch. 68, see. 1, § 4-8-102(1)(b)(II), 1981 Colo. Sess. Laws 352. Lacking such evidence, we are left with the common understanding of such shares derived from Colorado case law, which leads us to conclude that mutual ditch shares do not meet this statutory definition. Accordingly, we need not determine whether mutual ditch shares meet the other statutory requirements. Thus, the UCC does not control the requirements associated with recording and transferring mutual ditch stocks. See Gallegos v. Groff. 82 Colo.App. 213, 214, 508 P.2d 798, 799 (1978) (the UCC does not apply to the transfer of interests in real property). Rather, because mutual ditch shares are "specific interests in water rights, which are real property interests," we turn to established real property principles provided by Colorado statutes and case law. Great Western, 681 P.2d at 491.
V. Common Law and Statutory Notice Requirements
1389 As we understand the Allens' argument, if we decline to apply the UCC, they contend that the common law required Mesa Land Trust to obtain permission from Big Creek, and possibly all of its shareholders, and to comply with Big Creek's bylaws, all in order to encumber the Big Creek shares. We reject this argument because it is contrary to well-established law.
€40 Because mutual ditch shares are water rights, which are real property interests, Great Western, 681 P.2d at 491-92, they are subject to notice and recording requirements provided by sections 88-35-106(1) and 38-85-109, C.R.S.2011. See also §4-9-604(b)(2). Pursuant to the statutory requirements, a deed encumbering real property interests is effective against subsequent purchasers when it is recorded with the county clerk. §§ 88-385-106(1), 88-35-109. As long as the deed is properly recorded, "subsequent purchasers have an obligation to find it at the county clerk and recorder's office and are considered to have constructive notice of it, even if they do not locate it." Franklin Bank v. Bowling, 74 P.3d 308, 314 (Colo.2008) (quoting 14 Richard R. Powell, Powell on Real Property § 82.083(2][bl[ii] (Michael Allan Wolf ed. 2008)); accord Guaranty Bank & Trust Co. v. LaSalle Nat'l Bank Ass'n, 111 P.8d 521, 528 (Colo.App. 2004).
T41 The conservation easement statute contains these same notice requirements. A properly recorded conservation easement deed provides notice to subsequent purchasers of the restrictions it contains. § 88-80.5-106. Thus, contrary to the Allens' position, actual notice of the encumbrance is not required. Additionally, we find no support for the Allens' position that Big Creek and its shareholders were required to be notified of the conservation easements before their conveyance.
142 Here, the United States was the record owner of the property and the Big Creek shares when it conveyed the conservation easement by deed to Mesa Land Trust in 1990. The conveyance document states the grantor's intent that "[all water rights held at the date of this conveyance shall remain with this land." As explained in see-tions III and IV above, the mutual ditch shares are water rights, and are thus eneum-bered by the 1990 Easement. Accordingly, we conclude that the Allens were properly notified of the encumbrance on the Big Creek shares when they purchased the property in 1993.
1] 43 The trial court's judgment is affirmed.
Judge TERRY and Judge BOORAS concur.
. An order denying a motion for summary judgment is a final, appealable order when the trial court grants a cross-motion that disposes of the claims and ends the action. Snell v. Progressive Preferred Ins. Co., 260 P.3d 37, 39 (Colo.App. 2010); Mahaney v. City of Englewood, 226 P.3d 1214, 1217 (Colo.App.2009).
. The Colorado Coalition of Land Trusts and Colorado Water Trust, Inc. jointly filed a brief as amici curiae in support of Mesa Land Trust.
. A statute is retroactive if it applies to transactions that have already occurred or to rights or obligations that existed before that statute's effective date. City of Colorado Springs v. Powell, 156 P.3d 461, 464 (Colo.2007) (Powell II); American Comp. Ins. Co. v. McBride, 107 P.3d 973, 977 (Colo.App.2004). A statute is retrospective if it creates a new obligation in respect of a past transaction. Powell II, 156 P.3d at 465.
. As amended, section 38-30.5-110, C.R.S.2011, now refers to "any transfer of a water right or any change of a point of diversion at any time decreed prior to the recordation of any conservation easement in gross restricting a transfer or change."
. A law review article published in 2002 discussed the uncertainty concerning conservation easements affecting water rights in Colorado. Peter D. Nichols, Do Conservation Easements and Water Law Mix (in Colorado)?, 5 U. Denv. Water L.Rev. 403, 516-21 (2002). The article explained that, although most Colorado attorneys practicing in the area of conservation easements believed that Colorado's statute covered water rights, the statute's ambiguity made it susceptible of conflicting interpretations. The article invited the legislature to resolve the ambiguity. Id. at 524.
. - The version of the notice and recording statutes that existed when the easement was created in 1990 applies to the Big Creek shares. The portions of the statute relevant to our analysis remain unchanged.
. The Allens rely on Jacobucci, 189 Colo. at 387-88, 541 P.2d at 672, to support their argument that the mutual ditch shares could not be encumbered without notice to the shareholders. We are not persuaded by the Allens' reasoning that, because mutual ditch shareholders are unlike corporate shareholders, the notice and recording requirements for a deed (or easement) encumbering mutual ditch shares are different from the requirements for other deeds (or easements) encumbering real property.

Scott Turow, at a time when he was already a famous novelist, represented one of the defendants, and discussed the case in his nonfiction book Ultimate Punishment: A Lawyer's Reflections on Dealing with the Death Penalty. Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn wrote numerous columns about the case. There was also a book about the case titled Victims of Justice by Thomas Frisbie and Randy Garrett.

It may make more sense to move this material to Rolando Cruz (for various reasons, his co-defendant Alejandro Hernandez does not seem to have become as great a focus). Cruz was, for a time, a definite Illinois celebrity. The coverage of the Nicarico case in the media almost always was as a discussion of how it fit or didn't fit the case the prosecution made against Cruz and Hernandez, and other sundry proposed perpetrators including Buckley (who is not otherwise notable).

* Keep I moved this article to Jeanine Nicarico murder case which is the convention for such articles and which better describes the present (stubby) contents. This was a major case which had effects on society. It involved some of the accused being twice convicted of murder with no physical evidence, only alleged statement by the accused, while a different convicted murderer, Brian Dugan, had admitted commiting the crimes. His admission was reported later confrmed by DNA testing. It had a major effect on society in that it was a large part of what led the Governor of Illinois to pardon all death row inmates. The hue and cry over the overzealous prosecutions played a large part in preventing the prosecutor in the trials from winning a statewide illiection in Illinois many years after the death. It was featured in a book by author Scott Turow . Reporter Eric Zorn of the Chicago Tribune wrote many columns about the case over the years, as sumarized in . The prosecutors in the original trials were themselves later tried for framing the men and acquitted, but the defendants got a 3.5 million dollar settlement. This murder case has passed the test of time and is a highly notable one, with scores of columns and several books over the decades since it occurred satisfying WP:N.

IP lookup of localhost, ping IPs and use that to draw up a simple local network table
Posted on 2004-04-15

233 Views
Last Modified: 2010-04-01
I was planning on using Java, but it wasn't quite working out for me, so I'm going back to what I'm a little more comfortable with, C++. Due to time restrictions, I'm not going to be making a GUI for it, or even making it look pretty, I just want something that'll work. I've never done any network programming in C++, so that's what brings me here. As of now, I'm looking to simply create a list of IPs (and possibly the names) of the computers connected to the same network (and subnet, not going outside of the subnet) as the computer running the program. I plan to do this by first having the program find the IP of the machine that's running the program, and then put that into a sort of formula to go through and ping each of the other possible IPs on the network. If a ping return is detected, it will add that to the list, if not, it will skip it and go on to the next IP to ping. I know it may not be the fastest way to do it, but I am on a class C network, and it also seems it will be the easiest to do (easier to accomplish the first time means I don't waste time trying to get a more complex solution working). I'm looking for anyone who could either give some code samples to take a look at, or refer to a resource that they feel may help out. I'd very greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thank you!

What OS are you using? On Win32, 'NetServerEnum()' (yes, the name is a bit misleading) will help you doing that even without having to 'ping' the hosts (it list only 'running' machines). See the sample at http://win32.mvps.org/network/nse.c

I am running Win32. You're saying the 'NetServerEnum()' function will automatically find and list all connected devices on the network? That would make things MUCH easier (and I might be able to add in the additional functionality I was hoping for). I have a couple questions about that though, first of all, is it in any specific library, and if so, which one? Secondly, do you have any examples of using that? How would I go about using that function in conjunction with displaying its results (IP and hostname).

The hostname will be returned in 'lpRemoteName' if the resource type is RESOURCEDISPLAYTYPE_SERVER. When you have the name, strip the leading backslashes and call 'gethostbyname()' as illustrated in e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;183988 ("HOWTO: Retrieve the IP Address of the Remote PPP Peer"):
BOOL GetIpAddress(char *hostname)
{
WCHAR msg[128];
HOSTENT *lpHost=NULL;
struct sockaddr_in dest;
lpHost = gethostbyname(hostname);
if (lpHost == NULL)
{
wsprintf(msg, L"gethostbyname failed: %d", WSAGetLastError());
MessageBox(NULL, msg, NULL, MB_OK);
}
else
{
for(int i=0; lpHost->h_addr_list[i] != NULL ;i++)
{
memcpy(&(dest.sin_addr), lpHost->h_addr_list[i],
lpHost->h_length);
wsprintf(msg, L"IP address is: '%S'",
inet_ntoa(dest.sin_addr));
MessageBox(NULL, msg, L"IP Address", MB_OK);
}
}
return 0;
}
The same applies if you are using 'NetServerEnum()' (http://win32.mvps.org/network/nse.c)

Um, not really thinking that the links given are specific enough for a split. The 1st one is about using sockets in general ("Using Internet Sockets"), which does not apply and the other being a Winsock tutorial ("Johnnie's Winsock Tutorial"). Enumerating resources on a Windows network does not use sockets directly.

Hmm - I'll agree with that if one of the other participants explains how to do what was asked for using sockets. Especially for the ICMP ping part.

-- JPMorgan Hires Neimann for Insurance Asset Management
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) , the largest
U.S. bank by assets, hired Douglas Niemann to be a managing
director as it builds a group to oversee about $39.5 billion in
general account assets for insurance clients. Niemann, who previously worked at American International
Group Inc. (AIG) , joined JPMorgan this month to lead the unit’s
strategy and analytics, according to Matt Malloy, head of global
insurance solutions at the New York-based bank’s asset-
management arm. Malloy has made at least four other senior hires
since the beginning of the year, bringing his team to more than
30 people globally. “We continue to see a lot of opportunity to partner with
insurance companies,” Malloy said in a phone interview
yesterday. “We’ve invested in people, and a lot of that has
culminated over the last several months.” JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and BlackRock Inc. (BLK) are
among firms vying to manage money for insurers facing pressure
from low interest rates and new regulations. General-account
assets overseen by the largest fund managers surged by about 20
percent annually from 2001 to 2009, to more than $1 trillion,
according to a report by Swiss Re Ltd. That trend will probably continue, said Malloy. Mandates
from insurers in the U.S. and developed parts of Asia have been
driving growth while outsourcing from European insurers will
increase, he said. JPMorgan has boosted its number of insurance
asset-management clients by about 40 percent since the end of
2010. Investment Income Plunging bond yields have put pressure on insurers’ income
as they’re forced to reinvest proceeds from maturing securities
at lower rates. That’s made it more difficult for life insurers
to meet returns they’ve guaranteed customers on retirement
products and for property-casualty insurers to post a profit
when they lose money on underwriting. Part of Niemann’s job will be to advise insurance clients
on investments, said Malloy. Niemann has worked at Zurich
Insurance Group AG, where he managed the market risk for
investment portfolios worldwide. He holds an MBA from the
University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business and a
bachelor’s degree from Northwestern University . Other recent hires in the group include managing directors
Greg Tell, who joined this month from MetLife Inc. (MET) to oversee
fixed-income investments in New York, and Pat Tuttle in Chicago.
Neil Moge was hired as an executive director in London in
January, while Jeffrey Xia joined the group as a vice president
in the first quarter. JPMorgan has also been investing in its
technology to support its insurance clients, Malloy said. Deutsche Bank AG (DBK) and BlackRock had the most insurer general
account assets under management at the end of last year, with
more than $200 billion apiece, according to a preliminary survey
by Insurance Asset Manager, a trade publication. Conning was the
third-largest with $86 billion. Goldman Sachs, with $59.5 billion in general account assets
under management, has boosted investment in its business that
oversees insurer funds, Chief Executive Officer Lloyd Blankfein
and President Gary Cohn wrote in the bank’s most recent annual
report . Outsourcing has been accelerated by “new capital
regimes, greater demand as a result of the financial crisis and
a sustained low interest rate environment,” they wrote. To contact the reporter on this story:

���How Airplane Engines Are Tested at the Factory
PROBABLY nothing that is made in our factories to-day is tested more carefully than an airplane. An air- plane has not the solidity of an automobile or of a power boat. It is very light and elastic. Yet it calls for a high power engine. To put a hundred horsepower engine in an airplane without first test- ing it would be to invite disaster. An engine that gives an ideal perform- ance when on a bedplate securely bolted to the fac- tory floor might be trusted in the solid chassis of an automobile or the sub- stantial hull of a launch but never in the flimsy, vibrating fuselage of an airplane.
Where airplane motors are made in large numbers it is not practicable to test them in actual fuselages because the fuselages would deteriorate too rapidly. Therefore a good imitation fuselage has been designer! to meet the needs of the engine makers. This is made of angle iron and rests on real airplane wheels. The motor is controlled from a regular pilot's seat. The water jackets are connected with water, mains by flexible hose resting on a separate wooden frame.
It is not at all difficult to test an air- plane motor because the propeller is its flywheel and it is only necessary to as- certain whether or not it keeps up a standard amount of pull and works steadily. This is measured by a sim- ple spring balance. The engine must be tested also, to de- termine how it is af- fected by inclining it up or down as it
��must be inclined when flying. This test is accomplished by hooking the spring balance lower or higher to a massive post behind the testing fuselage. While the pilot controls the motor a mechanician stands by to watch the per- formance of the engine. A safety attachment holds the fuselage in place in case the spring should break.
In this way it is possible to test the airplane en- gine very thor- oughly before it is put into service in the air, without endanger- i n g the lives of the work-

��Protecting Your Shoes from Mud — in War Gardens or Trenches
THE patriotic citizens who planted and tended war gardens in response to the urgent advice of the Government dur- ing the past year, found that weeding is best accomplished after a rain, when the ground is soft and yielding. The house- wives had to learn something too in the line of patience, which was needed when so much cleaning up had to be done on account of the gardeners coming indoors with their muddy feet.
I. E. Harris, an employee in the Census Office, in Washington, D. C., found a way to protect his shoes from the mud so that when he came in out of the garden there would be no tracks for the housewife to complain about. He designed a garden shoe with canvas upper and wooden sole and around the sole he shaped a piece of zinc, tacking it to the sole. He has offered his idea to the Government.

Tufted Angioma
Tufted angioma is a vascular tumor that often presents as a red, indurated nodule. It may sometimes spontaneously resolve over years but tends to be persistent in most patients. As with a kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, tufted angiomas can be associated with the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon.
Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon is a clinical syndrome comprised of coagulopathy, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia due to a rapidly enlarging vascular tumor.
The most common tumors to cause this syndrome are kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and tufted angioma. Symptoms of thrombocytopenia can occur, including bruising and bleeding (both internally and externally), which require emergency care, as they may be life-threatening. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Java Question
What is the correct way to write to temp file during unit tests with Maven?
I have written a unit test that writes a file to the file-system, given no path it writes to the working directory; so if executed from the project directory it writes in the project root, if in the projects parent directory it writes to the parents root directory.
So what is the correct way to write to the target directory? Quite possibly a directory inside the target directory?
If I quite simply specify
target/
with the file it will write to the parent projects target instead of the projects target.
UPDATE: I actually want the file after the test finishes. The file is for an extraction format for third-parties that needs to be sent to the third parties. The test can be switched on/off to allow me to only run if the format of the file changes for re-approval. It's not a huge problem where the file goes, but I would like something that's easy to find.
Answer
You could try to use TemporaryFolder JUnit @Rule as described here
The TemporaryFolder creates a folder in the default temporary file directory specified by the system property java.io.tmpdir. The method newFile creates a new file in the temporary directory and newFolder creates a new folder.
When the test method finishes, JUnit automatically deletes all files and directories in and including the TemporaryFolder. JUnit guarantees to delete the resources, whether the test passes or fails.
After Question Updated
You can change the working directory used by maven-surefire-plugin.
<plugins>
[...]
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.3</version>
<configuration>
<workingDirectory>${project.build.directory}</workingDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
[...]
</plugins>
You can change that working directory to anything you need for your tests like ${project.build.directory}/my_special_dir/.
The working directory in surefire plugin only affects tests being run and ONLY for tests being conducted by maven. If you run your tests from within an IDE the working directory will be something else. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Category talk:Dialectal
RFM discussion: May 2011
And the same for its language-specific subcategories as well. I don't really see why we have two different categories for what is essentially the same thing. —CodeCat 13:13, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
* Support, yes, ideally categorize by region, but if in doubt putting in Category:Regional English (that is, and not in a subcategory) is better than in Category:Dialectal, which according to Votes/2011-04/Lexical categories should not be used. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
* Support. --Daniel 17:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
* Oppose The problem is that many of the words categorized by the labels and in Wiktionary, and in other dictionaries, are not regionalisms, but belong to, or are considered typical of, a sociolect, ethnolect, genderlect, idiolect, technolect, slang, etc, or simply as non-standard. By dropping the label, we lose compatibility with other dictionaries. By assuming these are regionalisms, we would be misclassifying the entries. The only solution is to carefully re-catogerize each entry, but this might be impossible, because the dialect(al) label is often used on terms whose usage is too complex or ill-defined to categorize cleanly. —Michael Z. 2011-05-24 22:13 z
* That's really an argument in favour of its deletion though. It's just not specific enough and also confusing. In any case, regardless of whether we merge it, it will need to be moved, because its proper name is 'English dialectal terms'. —CodeCat 22:22, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
* I agree that your argument doesn't actually give any reason to oppose this move. It gives a reason to categorize the entries more accurately - I mean who would oppose accurate categorization anyway - but no reason why your argument would lead to anyone opposing this move. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:48, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
* I think what he means is that by merging them completely, Regional English will contain some terms that are not regional. So what we really need to do is to move the regional entries, split the rest into other categories, and delete Dialectal itself. —CodeCat 22:52, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
* I'm not against renaming the category. But as I wrote, I'm against recategorization of terms ignoring the range of meanings of dialect(al). If the lexicographers of the OED and other professional dictionaries have needed it for over a century, how are we to say it is unnecessary and to be eliminated this week? —Michael Z. 2011-05-25 03:27 z
* If is so ambiguous, perhaps it should be replaced by . --Daniel 18:04, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
* That would be like replacing all instances of with . —Michael Z. 2012-01-27 22:02 z
Merriam–Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11 ed., 2003 [2004], p 18a): “The label dial for “dialect” indicates that the pattern of use of a word or sense is too complex for summary labeling: it usually includes several regional varieties of American English or of American and British English: [. . .] The label dial Brit indicates currency in several dialects of the Commonwealth; dial Eng indicates currency in one or more provincial dialects of England: [. . .]”
World Book Dictionary (2003, p 117): “Dialect means that the word is spoken in a certain district of a country or by a certain group of people.”
Yes, we should expand on dialectal when we can. No, we shouldn't summarily remove this information from our dictionary, or disregard it when we find it in other sources. —Michael Z. 2012-01-28 00:00 z | WIKI |

How to use @dynamicCallable in Swift
Swift 5.0 introduces a new way to work with dynamic languages
Paul Hudson @twostraws
SE-0216 adds a new @dynamicCallable attribute to Swift, which brings with it the ability to mark a type as being directly callable. It’s syntactic sugar rather than any sort of compiler magic, effectively transforming this code:
let result = random(numberOfZeroes: 3)
Into this:
let result = random.dynamicallyCall(withKeywordArguments: ["numberOfZeroes": 3])
Previously I wrote about a feature in Swift 4.2 called @dynamicMemberLookup. @dynamicCallable is the natural extension of @dynamicMemberLookup, and serves the same purpose: to make it easier for Swift code to work alongside dynamic languages such as Python and JavaScript.
To add this functionality to your own types, you need to add the @dynamicCallable attribute plus one or both of these methods:
func dynamicallyCall(withArguments args: [Int]) -> Double
func dynamicallyCall(withKeywordArguments args: KeyValuePairs<String, Int>) -> Double
The first of those is used when you call the type without parameter labels (e.g. a(b, c)), and the second is used when you do provide labels (e.g. a(b: cat, c: dog)).
@dynamicCallable is really flexible about which data types its methods accept and return, allowing you to benefit from all of Swift’s type safety while still having some wriggle room for advanced usage. So, for the first method (no parameter labels) you can use anything that conforms to ExpressibleByArrayLiteral such as arrays, array slices, and sets, and for the second method (with parameter labels) you can use anything that conforms to ExpressibleByDictionaryLiteral such as dictionaries and key value pairs.
• Note: If you haven’t used KeyValuePairs before, now would be a good time to learn what they are because they are extremely useful with @dynamicCallable. Find out more here: What are KeyValuePairs?
As well as accepting a variety of inputs, you can also provide multiple overloads for a variety of outputs – one might return a string, one an integer, and so on. As long as Swift is able to resolve which one is used, you can mix and match all you want.
Let’s look at an example. First, here’s a RandomNumberGenerator struct that generates numbers between 0 and a certain maximum, depending on what input was passed in:
struct RandomNumberGenerator {
func generate(numberOfZeroes: Int) -> Double {
let maximum = pow(10, Double(numberOfZeroes))
return Double.random(in: 0...maximum)
}
}
To switch that over to @dynamicCallable we’d write something like this instead:
@dynamicCallable
struct RandomNumberGenerator {
func dynamicallyCall(withKeywordArguments args: KeyValuePairs<String, Int>) -> Double {
let numberOfZeroes = Double(args.first?.value ?? 0)
let maximum = pow(10, numberOfZeroes)
return Double.random(in: 0...maximum)
}
}
That method can be called with any number of parameters, or perhaps zero, so we read the first value carefully and use nil coalescing to make sure there’s a sensible default.
We can now create an instance of RandomNumberGenerator and call it like a function:
let random = RandomNumberGenerator()
let result = random(numberOfZeroes: 0)
If you had used dynamicallyCall(withArguments:) instead – or at the same time, because you can have them both a single type – then you’d write this:
@dynamicCallable
struct RandomNumberGenerator {
func dynamicallyCall(withArguments args: [Int]) -> Double {
let numberOfZeroes = Double(args[0])
let maximum = pow(10, numberOfZeroes)
return Double.random(in: 0...maximum)
}
}
let random = RandomNumberGenerator()
let result = random(0)
There are some important rules to be aware of when using @dynamicCallable:
• You can apply it to structs, enums, classes, and protocols.
• If you implement withKeywordArguments: and don’t implement withArguments:, your type can still be called without parameter labels – you’ll just get empty strings for the keys.
• If your implementations of withKeywordArguments: or withArguments: are marked as throwing, calling the type will also be throwing.
• You can’t add @dynamicCallable to an extension, only the primary definition of a type.
• You can still add other methods and properties to your type, and use them as normal.
Perhaps more importantly, there is no support for method resolution, which means we must call the type directly (e.g. random(numberOfZeroes: 5)) rather than calling specific methods on the type (e.g. random.generate(numberOfZeroes: 5)). There is already some discussion on adding the latter using a method signature such as this:
func dynamicallyCallMethod(named: String, withKeywordArguments: KeyValuePairs<String, Int>)
If that became possible in future Swift versions it might open up some very interesting possibilities for test mocking.
In the meantime, @dynamicCallable is not likely to be widely popular, but it is hugely important for a small number of people who want interactivity with Python, JavaScript, and other languages.

Scott was born in Azusa, California and attended Carl Sandberg Jr. High and Glendora High Schools. He then went to California State University, Fullerton, received a B.A. in Theatre Arts, and trained at the Actors Studio in Los Angeles. At the end of the school year in college, Scott entered the American College Theater Festival and won the Irene Ryan Award for Best Actor in the Western United States. Scott was then offered a scholarship to Yale School of Drama, but instead attended the Juilliard School in New York City, where he again graduated with a B.A. in Theater Arts.
Career
In 1979, Scott was in a Broadway production of Shakespeare's Richard III at the Cort Theatre for a one-month run. Appearing under the name Judson Earney, Scott took the role of Lord Grey in a cast featuring Al Pacino in the title role. Scott's credited film appearances in later years included I, the Jury (1982), Escape (1990), True Identity (1991), and Blade (1998).
Scott starred in the short-lived 1982 science fiction television series The Phoenix. His other television roles include Lt. James in seven episodes of V, and as Sacha Malenkov on The Colbys. He also portrayed Peter Harrell on General Hospital in 1984–85 and Clay Monroe in One Life to Live in 1985.
Other guest appearances include Mission: Impossible (as Ernst Graff in "The Legacy") Voyagers!, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team, Babylon 5 (as "Knight One" in "And the Sky Full of Stars", 1994), Charmed (as "Necron" in episodes "A Witches Tale" 1 & 2), The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (Episode: No Man's Land. As outlaw brother Gill Swill), The X-Files and The Greatest American Hero (as Dak Hampton in the episode "Rock 'n' Roll"). He also made three appearances on Matt Houston as a Navajo shaman turned assassin.
Star Trek roles
In the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Scott played Joachim, chief lieutenant of Khan Noonien Singh. Despite having many lines of dialogue, Scott's name does not appear in the credits. According to TV Guide, Scott's agent was in negotiations with Paramount to get his name high billing in the movie, but the tactic backfired and somehow Scott wound up with no credit at all. He played opposite Ricardo Montalbán, which resulted in a friendship that lasted until Montalbán's death in January 2009. When Montalbán received a lifetime achievement award in 2003, Scott was the presenter.
Scott's next role in the Star Trek franchise was Sobi, a central character in "Symbiosis", a first-season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. In this episode Scott played opposite Merritt Butrick, who played Admiral Kirk's son in Star Trek II.
Scott also played a Romulan in the fourth-season Star Trek: Voyager episode "Message in a Bottle".
Scott still makes appearances at science fiction conventions and has his own fan club composed mostly of Star Trek fans.

Description:
For a while now, Arch Linux has been building Audacious with most plugins enabled, but then listing various libraries required by those plugins as only optional dependencies. Audacious isn't really meant to handle that scenario, and it leads to somewhat arcane dlopen() errors every time Audacious is run.
Please fix the packaging so that all linked libraries are listed as required dependencies. If disk space is a concern, you could split the package into a "minimal" or "standard" set of plugins and a "full" set of plugins.
Additional info:
* package version(s)
any recent version
* config and/or log files etc.
example log line:
ERROR plugin-load.cc:72 [plugin_load]: /usr/lib/audacious/Transport/neon.so could not be loaded: libneon.so.27: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/902 (this is a packaging issue though)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install audacious without some optional dependency (for example, neon).
2. Run audacious.

Comment by Eli Schwartz (eschwartz) - Wednesday, 18 September 2019, 01:26 GMT
Isn't the whole purpose of a plugin, though, the fact that it can fail gracefully when dlopen() fails instead of linking it into the main binary.
Adding these as dependencies would mean that anyone who installs xorg-server, audacious and audacious-plugins onto a fresh system has to install an extra 428.78 MB worth of requirements for plugins that they may or may not use. Arch Linux users are expected (in the sense that it's a distro requirement, not a "we think this would be cool and encourage it") to perform the minimally responsible action of actually paying attention to what their package manager told them when they installed the package -- I'm somewhat disappointed that they are reporting bugs to you, instead of just saying "right, I explicitly exercised the freedom that Arch Linux gave me to NOT install this optdepends".
Naively splitting the package to make every single plugin individually selectable would mean the user now has 65 possible packages to choose from, which isn't exactly a very pretty situation either. Which arbitrary way to subdivide the plugins should we use, then?
...
I'm curious, what is the downside of this other than "ERROR plugin-load.cc:72 [plugin_load]: ... cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" -- could this error message simply be caught as "WARNING: plugin Transport/neon failed to load because of missing dependencies."
For example, vim has dlopen() support for script interpreters, so if you try to use its tcl support, you might get:
E370: Could not load library libtcl8.6.so
E571: Sorry, this command is disabled: the Tcl library could not be loaded.
Weechat distributes plugins similar to audacious, e.g. /usr/lib/weechat/plugins/tcl.so, it too reports:
Error: unable to load plugin "/usr/lib/weechat/plugins/tcl.so": libtcl8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If you're trying to load a script and not a C plugin, try command to load scripts (/perl, /python, ...)
But I've never seen anyone complain about that.
Comment by John Lindgren (jlindgren) - Wednesday, 18 September 2019, 02:14 GMT
So, I get that Arch Linux users are supposed to know about optdepends and their consequences. And I'm not going to absolutely insist on the packaging being changed, just suggest it.
The technical downside of having plugins installed, but not their dependent libraries, is that Audacious can't even query them for basic info like the plugin name, and will attempt to load them at each startup in order to do so. Whereas plugins that can be successfully loaded, only need to be loaded once to get the info and then don't affect startup time/resource usage thereafter unless actually needed. I take full blame for that design, and it was done before I was aware that Arch Linux existed, and I don't have the spare time to redesign it now.
If you do end up splitting the -plugins package, I would suggest 5 categories:
1. -standard: aac albumart alarm alsa aosd asx asx3 audpl blur_scope cairo-spectrum cdaudio cd-menu-items compressor crossfade crystalizer cue delete-files echo_plugin filewriter flac gio glspectrum gtkui hotkey ladspa m3u metronom mixer mpg123 mpris2 notify playlist-manager pls resample search-tool silence-removal skins sndfile songchange speedpitch statusicon stereo_plugin tonegen voice_removal vorbis wavpack xspf
(deps: alsa-lib lame libvorbis flac mpg123 faad2 libcdio-paranoia libsamplerate libnotify libcue wavpack)
I checked and none of the deps for -standard are over 2 MB.
2. -ffmpeg: ffaudio
(deps: ffmpeg)
Separate only because it's so large.
3. -net: lyricwiki mms neon scrobbler2
(deps: curl libmtp neon libmms)
Only needed if you use network/streaming features.
4. -extra: amidiplug bs2b jack lirc pulse sdlout soxr
(deps: pulseaudio jack2 fluidsynth)
Most users won't need these. You could make -pulse a separate package if you wanted, but the ALSA plugin in -standard also works fine with PulseAudio.
5. -chiptunes: adplug console modplug openmpt sid vtx xsf
(deps: libmodplug libsidplayfp)
For game/chiptune emulation.
Also, these deps are obsolete and can be removed:
libguess libsm dbus-glib gnome-icon-theme hicolor-icon-theme
Comment by Eli Schwartz (eschwartz) - Wednesday, 18 September 2019, 02:53 GMT
Thank you for the insight! (Especially the fact that plugins need to be successfully loaded in order for audacious to know what they do.) I don't know that we will actually end up doing so, but I suppose there is no harm in asking the maintainer what his thoughts on the topic are.
Indeed, ffmpeg is the largest dependency chain here, and the proposed -standard grouping only depends on 11.60 MiB of dependencies which seems entirely more tolerable. So, there is that.
Comment by Greg Minshall (minshall) - Friday, 20 September 2019, 18:34 GMT
i apologize for opening this can of worms.
one could, either as a wrapper around the audacious binary, or as a "post install hook" (if i understand how these are used), scan the possible plugins (stashed off to the side), and choose the ones that might actually load, moving them into their "canonical" locations (and moving out ones that "now fail"). something like this might give an idea:
----
for i in $(find /usr/lib/audacious/ -type f -name "*.so*"); do for j in $(ldd $i | sed 's/ /_/g' | grep 'not_found'); do echo "$i: " $j; done; done
----
which would list plugins that should *not* be in the canonical location. (well, one would change "/usr/lib/audacious" to something like "/usr/lib/audacious/stash.)

SunEdison Receives Subpoena From Justice Department
Business Briefing The struggling solar company SunEdison said it had received a subpoena from the Justice Department seeking details related to its failed deal to buy Vivint Solar and transactions with its two publicly listed units, TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global. On Tuesday, TerraForm Global warned that SunEdison was at “substantial risk” of bankruptcy. SunEdison shares fell about 4 percent in extended trading on Thursday. The company, in a regulatory filing, said the government had also sought information on the “conduct of a former non-executive employee who is alleged to have committed wrongdoing in connection with the Vivint termination negotiations.” SunEdison has delayed filing its annual report twice, saying it has identified material weaknesses in its financial reporting controls. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |

Hi again,
I've been pretty freaked out by the notion that even with Dreamweaver web-designers still code heaps. Take for example this site off the "Essential Web development tools" sticky.
http://www.csszengarden.com/
It's a very interesting site where all the HTML stays the same but only the CSS has changed, and it looks like you can advertise your own design studio there if you agree to follow the rules and create your own version of the web page changing only the CSS but leaving the standard HTML alone.
My question is, how easy is it to learn Dreamweaver CSS changes and does Dreamweaver GUI CSS management cover all the coding CSS changes, or do I actually have to learn a coding language as well as basic design principles and Dreamweaver?

Well with sites like CSS Zen Garden, they are highly marked up, more so than a site needs. The Garden was done so just to show the power of CSS and motivate people to leave table layouts and learn CSS.
DreamWeaver can do a bit of CSS, but the HTML still has to be created and created very well if you plan to never touch it again. 99% of web sites do not fall into this category. I don't use DreamWeaver so can't talk to specifically about what you ask, but you will need to know good HTML coding no matter how good your CSS is.

She appeared as the heroine in the film Sindhua Jay Kinaray and performed as a playback singer in eight films.
Biography
Bhagwanti was born on 1 February 1940 in Karachi, Sindh, British India (now in Pakistan). Her parents were from Naserpur, a historic town of Sindh. Her father's name was Jassu Mal Navani and mother's name was Vishni Bai. She had three brothers and two sisters. She was only seven years old when Pakistan was created and she had to migrate to Bombay, India (now Mumbai) with her parents. At the time of migration, she was studying in the Indian Girls Primary School Karachi. In Mumbai, she studied at Kamala Girls' High School and then at the High School for Sindhis.

Ignore TCP SYN-ACK segments with non-matching SEG.ACK in SYN-SENT state
ClosedPublic
Authored by tuexen on Apr 18 2017, 8:34 PM.
Details
Summary
When a SYN-ACK is received in SYN-SENT state, RFC 793 requires the validation of SEG.ACK as the first step.
If the ACK is not acceptable, the segment a RST segment is sent and the segment is dropped. Currently, the segment was partially processed.
This patch moves the check for the SEG.ACK validation up to the front as required.
Test Plan
Get the tests from tcp-testsuite passed.

Event Timeline
For my understanding, what is the side-effect of this 'partial processing' before we eventually drop it? (I assume we do drop it but later in the path, right?)
Not against the patch but trying to understand what is driving this fix. :-)
I observed the bug by using a SYN-ACK without any options. The retransmitted SYN does not contain the SACK option anymore. So it wasn't retransmitted.
I observed the bug by using a SYN-ACK without any options. The retransmitted SYN does not contain the SACK option anymore. So it wasn't retransmitted.
Can you please explain the scenario in a little more detail?
The SUT sends a default SYN segment (including MSS option, SACK allowed, Timestamp and Window scaling). The tester responds with a SYN-ACK
without any options. In the tests I'm varying the SEG.ACK.
RFC 793 reads
If the state is SYN-SENT then
first check the ACK bit
If the ACK bit is set
If SEG.ACK =< ISS, or SEG.ACK > SND.NXT, send a reset (unless
the RST bit is set, if so drop the segment and return)
<SEQ=SEG.ACK><CTL=RST>
and discard the segment. Return.
If SND.UNA =< SEG.ACK =< SND.NXT then the ACK is acceptable.
When using SEG.ACK = SND.NXT+1 (see rcv-syn-ack-without-data-syn-sent-ack-outside-right-ipv4.pkt, TCP processes the incoming segment, disables the SACK extension and then drops it. Therefore, the retransmission of the SYN segment does not contain the SACK allowed option anymore. So the following is done before dropping the packet:
• tp->t_rcvtime is updated
• ECN handling performed (with updating CC)
• TCP option processing
• tp->rcv_wnd is updated
I think none of it should be done.
Thanks for the explanation. Change looks correct to me just that the code is a bit muddied with this single check moving elsewhere (for the right reasons) and a bit more code duplication in alt stack code. But I think those are out of the scope of this patch.

Southwest jet makes emergency stop in Cleveland with cracked window
(Reuters) - A Newark, New Jersey-bound Southwest Airlines Co (LUV.N) flight made an emergency landing in Cleveland on Wednesday after a window pane cracked in flight, airline officials and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said. No one was injured in the incident, which came two weeks after an engine on a Southwest 737 ripped apart in flight and shattered a window, killing a female passenger in the first U.S. airline passenger fatality since 2009. The cause of Wednesday’s crack in one of the window’s multiple panes was not immediately known. The flight, Southwest 957, was traveling to Newark Liberty International Airport from Chicago Midway International Airport with 76 passengers on board. The crew diverted the Boeing Co (BA.N) 737-700 to Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport at about 11 a.m. EDT to inspect a layer of a windowpane, said Southwest spokesman Brian Parrish. “The aircraft has been taken out of service for maintenance review,” Parrish said. FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro, who confirmed no one was hurt, said the organization was investigating the incident. Wednesday’s incident is damaging more to Southwest’s public perception than evidence of any systemic issue, Teal Group Fleet analyst Richard Aboulafia said. The airline said in its first- quarter earnings report it is bracing for a decline in bookings following the April engine blowout. “It’s unfortunate only from an optics and image standpoint,” Aboulafia said. “Windows are made by window manufacturers. Nothing to do with technology that’s unique to the 737 or to Southwest.” The FAA on Tuesday ordered additional inspections of fan blades in hundreds of additional engines similar to the one that failed in the deadly Southwest accident on April 17. Southwest has said it planned to complete ultrasonic inspections on all fan blades on the some 700 planes in its fleet with the CFM56-7B engines, the model involved in last month’s blowout, over the next two weeks, meeting the FAA’s August deadline by mid-May. The CFM engine is made by a joint venture of General Electric Co (GE.N) and France’s Safran (SAF.PA). Southwest said it has not found any cracks on fan blades inspected since the accident. Shares of the Dallas-based carrier were down slightly at $52.79 in afternoon trading.

he was shortly transferred to general Winfield Scotts command and took place in the capture of Veracruz. During the March towards Mexico City Lee was promoted to major. Then to a lieutenant colonel. When the Civil War began even though Lee did not believe in slavery and did not favor secession. He felt that slavery had an evil effect on masters as well as slaves. Long before the war Lee had freed the few slaves that he had inherited. Lee greatly admired George Washington, and hated the thought of dividing the nation.
But he came to feel that his state was protecting the very liberty, freedom, and legal principles that Washington had fought for. Lee had a really hard time choosing weather to fight for his country or stay with the Union. He ended staying with his own state but it is not a decision he took lightly. He served as a Military advisor for the confederacy. He later changed positions again were he had troops under him.
Lee contributed much to the civil war. He was an excellent general and lead many troops to victories in the Mexican war and the Civil War. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Definitions:
Gages and Gaging : Specifications and dimensions for the gages used on Unified inch screw thread is defined in the ANSI/ASME B1.2-1983 standard. Types of gages including thread plug gages, snap gages, thread ring gages and plain diameter gages for internal and external threads are covered in same standard. Screw thread gaging systems for acceptability is covered in the ASME B1.3-2007 standard.
Details of gages and gaging about the machine screws heads are given in the appendices of the ASME B18.6.3-2003 standard.
Unified Screw Thread: A thread form used by the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States to obtain screw thread interchangeability among these three nations. It has 60° thread angle and dimensions are stated in inch units.
UN form screw threads: The UN thread is intended for general purpose fastening operations.
UNC (Unified National Coarse): Most commonly used type for general engineering applications. This thread form is used in materials with low tensile strength which makes threads more resistance against stripping (internal threads) .UNC give possibility for quick assembly.
UNF (Unified National Fine): External threads of this Fine Series have greater tensile stress area than comparable sizes of the Coarse series. The Fine series is suitable when the resistance to stripping of both external and mating internal threads equals or exceeds the tensile load carrying capacity of the externally threaded member. It is also used where the length of engagement is short, where a smaller lead angle is desired, where the wall thickness demands a fine pitch, or where finer adjustment is needed.
Thread class: A classification system to classify the threads for interchangeability and manufacturability. Class 1 threads are loosely fitting thread and used for ease of assembly. Most commonly used class is 2 and this class is designed for general use. Class 3 is used for closer tolerances.

Fork and patch npm moduels hosted on GitHub
I have read How to fork & patch npm modules and followed the instructions but I couldn't make it work for me. Looking at npm log I figured that the problem was with zip files being downloaded and not tarballs. So here's the trick on how to include your GitHub repository correctly in npm:
1. Go to fork's page
2. On the right side of the page you will find "Download ZIP" button (or whatever it is that you are seeing). Right-click on it and copy the link it points to. It should be something like https://github.com/SoftwareMarbles/jugglingdb/archive/master.zip.
3. Edit the link's URL replacing archive with tarball and removing the .zip extension. You should end up with something like https://github.com/SoftwareMarbles/jugglingdb/tarball/master.
4. Paste that into your package.json instead of the package's version:
"jugglingdb": "https://github.com/SoftwareMarbles/jugglingdb/tarball/master"
And that's it - npm install works as it should and installs the module from the link.
You can do the same for a particular commit (and actually this is what originally this protip recommended):
1. Go to fork's page
2. Go to commits
3. On the right side of the commit you want to use click "Browse code"
4. On the browse code page right-click on "Download ZIP" button (or whatever it is that you are seeing) and copy . It should be something like this https://github.com/SoftwareMarbles/express-jsend/archive/fdd4089087d916fa6e3b5abaa1ff9dd9ea96df8d.zip.
5. Edit that URL replacing archive with tarball and removing the .zip extension. You should end up with something like https://github.com/SoftwareMarbles/express-jsend/tarball/fdd4089087d916fa6e3b5abaa1ff9dd9ea96df8d.
6. Paste that into your package.json instead of the version. Like this:
"express-jsend": "https://github.com/SoftwareMarbles/express-jsend/tarball/fdd4089087d916fa6e3b5abaa1ff9dd9ea96df8d"

Python GUI编程入门(31)-Treeview控件
Treeview是Tkinter8.5新引入的控件，可以用于实现较为复杂的GUI界面。本文使用一个FileBrowser实例来说明它的用法。
Python GUI编程入门(31)-Treeview控件
构建主窗口和退出菜单的代码和前一篇文章几乎相同：
root = Tk()
root.title('Tkinter Treeview and PanedWindow Demo V1.0')
root.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
screen_w = root.winfo_screenwidth()
screen_h = root.winfo_screenheight()
root.maxsize(width=screen_w, height=screen_h)
rw = int(screen_w / 2)
rh = int(screen_h / 2)
root.geometry('{}x{}+{:g}+{:g}'.format(rw, rh, rw / 2, rh / 2))
top_menu = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=top_menu)
file_menu = Menu(top_menu, tearoff=False)
top_menu.add_cascade(label='File', menu=file_menu)
file_menu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)
构建一个水平方向的PanedWindow控件，grid布局时sticky属性设置为四面填充。
paned_window = PanedWindow(root, orient=HORIZONTAL)paned_window.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='eswn')
构建管理左侧控件的Frame对象：
tree_area = Frame(paned_window)
tree_area.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
tree_area.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
paned_window.add(tree_area)
准备Treeview图标文件：
cur_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
pc_image = PhotoImage(file=cur_path + '\\images\\pc.png')
drive_image = PhotoImage(file=cur_path + '\\images\\drive.png')
folder_image = PhotoImage(file=cur_path + '\\images\\folder.png')
file_image = PhotoImage(file=cur_path + '\\images\\file.png')
构建Treeview控件。将show属性指定为'tree'可以消除顶部的标题行。
tree_view = Treeview(tree_area, show='tree', selectmode='browse')
tree_view.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')
添加水平和垂直滚动条：
scroll_ty = Scrollbar(tree_area, orient=VERTICAL, command=tree_view.yview)
scroll_ty.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky=N+S)
tree_view['yscrollcommand']=scroll_ty.set
scroll_tx = Scrollbar(tree_area, orient=HORIZONTAL, command=tree_view.xview)
scroll_tx.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=E+W)
tree_view['xscrollcommand']=scroll_tx.set
增加根节点及驱动器节点：
pc_node= tree_view.insert('', 'end',
text=os.environ.get('COMPUTERNAME'),
image=pc_image,
open=False)
for c in string.ascii_uppercase:
disk = c + ':'
if os.path.isdir(disk):
drive_node = tree_view.insert(pc_node, 'end', text=disk, image=drive_image)
给定节点，获得节点路径的函数：
def node_path(node):
path = ''
parent = node
while parent:
node_text = tree_view.item(parent, 'text')
if len(path) > 0:
path = os.path.join(node_text, path)
else:
path = node_text
parent = tree_view.parent(parent)
return path
由于磁盘目录的结构一般都会非常复杂，因此本示例采用以下策略：
1. 展开节点时才会读入下级节点目录结构
2. 关闭节点时删除下级节点的目录结构
def open_node(event):
focus = tree_view.focus()
for node in tree_view.get_children(focus):
insert_child_items(node)
tree_view.bind('<<TreeviewOpen>>', open_node)
def close_node(event):
focus = tree_view.focus()
for node in tree_view.get_children(focus):
children = tree_view.get_children(node)
for c in children:
tree_view.delete(c)
insert_child_items的实现如下：
def insert_child_items(parent_node):
path = node_path(parent_node)
if os.path.isdir(path):
try:
dir_items = os.scandir(path)
for item in dir_items:
if item.is_dir() and ('.$'.find(item.name[0])<0):
tree_view.insert(parent_node, 'end', text=item.name, image=folder_image)
except Exception as e:
print(e)
增加下级节点的子节点操作以目录为操作对象。这个操作还会排除系统文件和隐藏文件。异常处理的对象是没有访问权限等情况。
构建右侧显示区域：
detail_area = Frame(paned_window)
detail_area.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
detail_area.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
paned_window.add(detail_area)
构建列表形式的Treeview：
list_view = Treeview(detail_area)
list_view['columns'] = ('#1', '#2', "#3", '#4')
list_view.column("#0", width=150, minwidth=150, stretch=YES)
list_view.column("#1", width=150, minwidth=150, stretch=YES)
list_view.column("#2", width=100, minwidth=100, stretch=YES)
list_view.column("#3", width=100, minwidth=100, stretch=NO)
list_view.column("#4", width=100, minwidth=50, stretch=YES)
list_view.heading("#0", text="Name", anchor=W)
list_view.heading("#1", text="Date modified", anchor=W)
list_view.heading("#2", text="Type", anchor=W)
list_view.heading("#3", text="Size", anchor=W)
list_view.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky='nsew')
构建Scrollbar和Sizegrip控件：
scroll_fy = Scrollbar(detail_area, orient=VERTICAL, command=list_view.yview)
scroll_fy.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky=N+S)
list_view['yscrollcommand']=scroll_fy.set
scroll_fx = Scrollbar(detail_area, orient=HORIZONTAL, command=list_view.xview)
scroll_fx.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky=E+W)
list_view['xscrollcommand']=scroll_fx.set
Sizegrip(detail_area).grid(row=1, column=1)
当左侧Treeview的被选节点发生变化时，获取对应目录中的文件并表示在右侧列表形式的Treeview中。
def select_node(event):
children = list_view.get_children('')
for c in children:
list_view.delete(c)
focus = tree_view.focus()
path = node_path(focus)
if os.path.isdir(path):
try:
dir_items = os.scandir(path)
iid = 0
for item in dir_items:
if item.is_file() and ('.$'.find(item.name[0]) < 0):
stat_info = os.stat(item.path)
m_time = time.strftime("%Y/%m/%d %H:%M", time.localtime(stat_info.st_mtime))
type = ' File'
dot_pos = item.name.rfind('.')
if dot_pos > 0:
type = item.name[dot_pos+1:].upper() + type
list_view.insert('', 'end', str(iid), text=item.name, values=(m_time, type, stat_info.st_size))
iid += 1
except Exception as e:
print(e)

CA App Synthetic Monitor
Issue/Introduction
Jmeter script is showing error when it is being monitored by ASM via OPMS. It is an internal site. The ASM is showing the following error. Checkpoint error: 503 Service unavailable
If we run the same Jmeter script via Jmeter, it runs successfully with no errors.
Environment
Release : SAAS
Component : APP SYNTHETIC MONITOR ENVIRONMENTAL
Resolution
This error is related to the issue but it is not the root cause. The message means that the check request was submitted to the Jmeter agent but an unexpected response was received instead of a valid check result.
Please review the jmeter agent log on OPMS. You can collect the jmeter agent log on OPMS as follows:
1-
To find the root cause we need to inspect Jmeter agent logs. These are not available as files, instead we run 'docker logs asm_jmeter4-agent_N' where N is the number of the agent instance.
OR
2-
To fetch all the logs at once and save them into compressed files, you can use the following command (this one is for eight jmeter instances, adjust as needed if you have a different number configured in /etc/default/asm-smartpop-jmeter4-agent-docker)
cd /tmp
mkdir jlogs
cd jlogs
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do echo $i ; docker logs asm_jmeter4-agent_$i 2>&1 | gzip > jmeter4_logs.$i.gz ; done
In this case, jmeter logs on the OPMS show the following error:
SEVERE: exception caught during run: org.apache.jorphan.util.JMeterStopTestException: ModuleController:FRAGMENT- Transaction has no selected Controller (did you rename some element in the path to target controller?), test was shutdown as a consequence org.apache.jorphan.util.JMeterStopTestException: ModuleController:FRAGMENT- Transaction has no selected Controller (did you rename some element in the path to target controller?), test was shutdown as a consequence at org.apache.jmeter.control.ModuleController.resolveReplacementSubTree(ModuleController.java:143) at com.ca.asm.smartpop.jmeter.agent.Runner.prepareTree(Runner.java:356) at com.ca.asm.smartpop.jmeter.agent.Runner.run(Runner.java:414) at com.ca.asm.smartpop.jmeter.agent.DefaultExecutor.runCheck(DefaultExecutor.java:55) at com.ca.asm.smartpop.agent.JobExecutor.accept(JobExecutor.java:43) at com.ca.asm.smartpop.agent.JobExecutor.accept(JobExecutor.java:14) at com.ca.asm.smartpop.agent.Agent.lambda$mainLoop$3(Agent.java:182) at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:511) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:266) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
This is a result of invalid JMX script.
If you have other monitors with similar scripts that are working fine, then we suggest you to compare them side-by-side and see what is wrong with the Jmeter script.

Henry Duff Traill
Henry Duff Traill (14 August 1842 – 21 February 1900) was a British writer and journalist.
Life
Born at Blackheath, he belonged to an old Caithness family, the Traills of Rattar, and his father, James Traill, was the stipendiary magistrate of Greenwich and Woolwich Police Court. He was sent to the Merchant Taylors' School, where he rose to be head of the school and obtained a scholarship at St John's College, Oxford. Initially destined for the profession of medicine, Traill took his degree in natural sciences in 1865 but then he read for the bar and was called in 1869. In 1871 he received an appointment as an Inspector of Returns for the Board of Education, a position which left him leisure to cultivate his gift for literature.
In 1873 he became a contributor to the Pall Mall Gazette, then under the editorship of Frederick Greenwood. He followed Greenwood to the St. James's Gazette when in 1880 the Pall Mall Gazette took for a time the Liberal side, and he continued to contribute to that paper up to 1895. In the meantime he had also joined the staff of the Saturday Review, to which he sent, among other writings, weekly verses upon subjects of the hour. Some of the best of these he republished in 1882 in a volume called Recaptured Rhymes, and others in a later collection of Saturday Songs (1890).
He was also a leader-writer for the Daily Telegraph and edited The Observer from 1889 until 1891, which experienced an increase in circulation during his time there. In 1897, he became first editor of Literature, when that weekly paper (afterwards sold and incorporated with the Academy) was established by the proprietors of The Times, and directed its fortunes until his death.
Traill's long connection with journalism must not obscure the fact that he was a man of letters rather than a journalist. He wrote best when he wrote with least sense of the burden of responsibility. His playful humour and his ready wit were given full scope only when he was writing to please himself. One of his most brilliant jeux d'esprit was a pamphlet which was published without his name soon after he had begun to write for the newspapers. It was called The Israelitish Question and the Comments of the Canaan Journals thereon (1876). This told the story of the Exodus in articles which parodied very cleverly the style of all the leading journals of the day, and was at once recognized as the work of a born humorist. Traill sustained this reputation with The New Lucian, which appeared in 1884 (2nd ed., with several new dialogues, 1900); but for the rest his labours were upon more serious lines. He directed the production of a vast work on Social England in 1893-1898; he wrote, for several series of biographies, studies of Coleridge (1884), Sterne (1882), William III (1888), Shaftesbury (1886), Strafford (1889), and Lord Salisbury (1891); he compiled a biography of Sir John Franklin the Arctic explorer (1896); after a visit to Egypt he published a volume on the country; and in 1897 appeared his book on Lord Cromer, the man who had done so much to bring it back to prosperity. Of these the literary studies are the best, for Traill possessed great critical insight. He published two collections of essays: Number Twenty (1892), and The New Fiction (1897). In 1865 his Glaucus, a tale of a Fish, was produced at the Olympic Theatre with Miss Nellie Farren in the part of Glaucus. In conjunction with Mr Robert Hichens he wrote The Medicine Man, produced at the Lyceum in 1898. He died in London on 21 February 1900.
He also edited the Centenary edition of the Works of Thomas Carlyle (30 volumes, Chapman and Hall, 1896-1907), writing introductions to the various works.

East is West and West is East
The final section, on the Matabara Map, states that with the Dead Sea on the right side of the map (and the River Jordan on the left side) Bethabara (below the Jordan) must be on the west of the river and Aenon (above the Jordan) must be on the east of the river. The opposite is true. Geographically, the Dead Sea is south of the Jordan and the Jordan is north of the Dead Sea. So Bethabara must be on the EAST of the river and Aenon must be on the WEST of the river. That is what the first section, on the Gospel text, already says. I intend to correct the edit.

Talk Page wants me to write out "We all make mistakes" three thousand times. O Murr (talk) 19:42, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
I hope I can finally sort this matter out now. I was misled by the section on the Gospel text which does say that Aenon must have been on the west of the Jordan, quoting the Gospel of John, which says that Jesus went into Judea, and the province of Judea was on the west of the Jordan. On the east of the Jordan, immediately opposite Judea, was the province of Perea. I've enlarged and scrutinised the Madaba Map, and there is no doubt that the Greek lettering does show Bethabara on the WEST of the Jordan and Aenon on the EAST of the Jordan. If this 6th Century map is correct then Aenon was in Perea, not in Judea. Then what are we to make of John's Gospel account? Does it mean that John the Baptist and his disciples were on the east of the Jordan, in Perea, while Jesus and his disciples were directly on the opposite side of the river, on the west of the Jordan, in Judea? The two groups were apparently in competition, both offering baptism. Originally, John the Baptist had been baptising in Bethabara, on the west of the Jordan, in Judea. Then, for some reason, he moved to the opposite side of the river and into Perea. Into the territory of his enemy Herod Antipas, who had him arrested and beheaded. O Murr (talk) 20:57, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Be more careful
The reason the map distinguishes "Aenon now called Sapsaphas" here is precisely because it is NOT "Aenon near Salem", which is further north along the Jordan. Given the Madaba Map is oriented east, Aenon near Salem is further left along the map. We can talk about both Aenons on this page (along with any other 'Ain or 'Ein sites that became known as Ainon, Aenum, or Aenon under the Romans and Greeks) but we can't use an image of the wrong Aenon to illustrate the other one. — Llywelyn II 09:31, 21 May 2022 (UTC) | WIKI |
De Novo Gene Birth and the Evolution of the Human Brain
NOMIS Research Project
What is the nature of mutations underlying phenotypic evolution? In addition to genetic modifications of preexisting genes that can lead to differences in their sequences or activities, the “birth” of new genes with novel functions significantly contributed to the evolution of species-specific traits. The de novo emergence of protein-coding genes—that is, their origination “from scratch” (from previously noncoding DNA sequences)—represents a particularly intriguing mechanism of new gene origination. However, this mechanism was long considered to be highly unlikely, and its prevalence and evolutionary relevance remain poorly understood.
The project De Novo Gene Birth and the Evolution of the Human Brain aims to close this critical gap by systematically tracing and characterizing de novo genes that contributed to the evolution of a key organ that changed in profound ways on the human lineage and defines our species: The brain. Specifically, the investigators seek to unravel the contribution of de novo genes to the evolutionary expansion and elaboration of the neocortex, the seat of higher cognitive functions in humans. The research focuses on the contribution of de novo genes to evolutionary changes of developmental processes—key drivers of phenotypic innovations, given that adult organ anatomies and functions are set up during development.
The De Novo Gene Birth project will generate and analyze translatome data across a unique set of prenatal developmental tissue samples, and experimentally characterize select de novo genes in state-of-the-art in vitro organoid systems, ex vivo fetal tissue cultures and in vivo transgenic mouse models. Ultimately, the researchers hope to illuminate the prevalence and functional roles of de novo genes in primate cortical development and shed light on the molecular evolution underlying the unique biology of our brain.
The project is being led by Henrik Kaessmann at Heidelberg University in Germany. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Talk:Campsite
Dedicated
The description of campgrounds (version) conflates "dedicated" and "developed" campgrounds. In the western US, many villages and small towns on old travel routes have dedicated campgrounds for through travelers. Those usually are located on a river floodplain, so there is water and clear ground, but that is all. Such campgrounds are dedicated but not developed. Developed campgrounds normally are in "backcountry" areas and have toilets, potable water, and designated campsites each with a picnic table and fire pit or grill. Rather than revise the article now, I invite others to first add details from other parts of the world. --Una Smith (talk) 17:40, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Structure of an Elite Personal Training Workout
The structure of a training session may be as follows:
1. Dynamic Warm Up 10-mins
2. Power/Skill Development 5-mins
3. Strength 20-mins
4. Functional Hypertrophy 15-mins
5. Metabolic Conditioning 5-mins
6. Recovery Cool Down 5-mins
You can structure your own workouts like this:
1. Dynamic Warm-Up (10 minutes): The initial phase involves progressively practicing movement patterns that you will be training during the main workout. It’s crucial for preparing your muscles and joints, enhancing flexibility, which significantly reduces risk of injury. By practicing similar movements which you’ll perform later, your body becomes more efficient during the session.
2. Power/Skill Development (5 minutes): After the warm-up, this portion of your workout focuses on fast-twitch muscle fibers, which are essential for power, speed, and supporting healthy aging. By utilizing short, intense bursts of intentioned movement, it improves neuromuscular coordination and explosive strength, translating to movement efficiency during daily activities.
3. Strength (20 minutes): This is the core of your workout, focusing on major lifts like squats, deadlifts, chin-ups, or dips. There are many valid exercises to consider focusing on (like Bulgarian split squat vs. seldom doing bilateral squats). This phase is crucial for building overall muscle strength, joint health and bone density. By targeting your specific structure and aesthetic goals, it also helps in sculpting your physique as a highly functional being.
4. Functional Hypertrophy (15 minutes): Here, the emphasis is on controlled repetitions to maximize time under tension. This promotes protein synthesis and muscle turnover (hypertrophy and atrophy natural processes) and also enhances muscular endurance and stability. It’s great for improving the functionality of your muscles in real-life scenarios, becoming functionally aesthetic in the process.
5. Metabolic Conditioning (5 minutes): This high-intensity finisher boosts your metabolic rate, leading to increased calorie burn long after the workout (afterburn effect — gotta love it!!). It’s excellent for cardiovascular health, improving overall fitness levels and being bang for the buck timewise.
6. Recovery Cool Down (5 minutes): The final phase is about gradually lowering your heart rate and relaxing your muscles. Start with standing stretching and then emphasize the areas of stretching which may be specific for you or related to the movements practiced during the workout. Plus, it is also an opportunity to decompress, enjoy the feeling of accomplishment, and then carry on in your powerful embodiment.
Just get moving.
Ultimately, you must believe in yourself to practice intentional movement because with consistency, you may embody both resilience and power.

Copyvio?
While the wording is somewhat similar between this and the source, I think it is different enough to (while being consistent with the meaning of) the source text to not quite justify a speedy deletion as copyvio. The content added in later versions, apparently by the subject, is mostly a list of works. There are limits to how much such a list can be varied without deviating from what is factual.
If somebody still feels an urge to have this deleted, I think an AFD discussion is required. --Hegvald (talk) 07:39, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
Birth dates and nationality
Please see WP:BLPPRIVACY for the policy. " Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object. If the subject complains about the inclusion of the date of birth, or the person is borderline notable, err on the side of caution and simply list the year, provided that there is a reliable source for it. "
as for children and spouses: "The presumption in favor of privacy is strong in the case of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved, otherwise low-profile persons. The names of any immediate, ex, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject. However, names of family members who are not also notable public figures must be removed from an article if they are not properly sourced."
I will therefore restore the information. If this is challenged, please use the BLP noticeboard. But if the information was removed on request of the subject, that's another matter--please use OTTS or email to say so (I'm an arb, and can receive emails and keep them in confidence). I will wait 48 hours before restoring it just in case. . DGG ( talk ) 02:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Books
The books a person publishes is normally a very important factor in their notability. I am restoring it. Whether we include minor publications varies with the field and importance. I have therefore added back the books, since impeccable sources are available (WorldCat) and there is no possible justification for removing them. -- I'll check the others for importance tomorrow.

Warning
This is the dev documentation for an unreleased version of MPF!
This is the documentation for MPF 0.53+, which is the “dev” (next) release of MPF that is a work-in-progress. Unless you’re specifically looking for this version, you probably want to use the version of documentation called “latest” which is for the latest released version of MPF. That documentation is at docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest.
Troubleshooting
1. Run MPF without text ui
The text ui which is shown by default may hide some errors and make troubleshooting more difficult. To disable text ui run mpf using:
$ mpf game -t
You can also add some more logging output:
$ mpf game -t -v -V
Start MPF-MC in a separate console:
$ mpf mc -v -V
Scroll up in the console (or check the log file in the logs folder) to find the error which was emitted.
2. Run diagnosis
If your game won’t run and you don’t get an error, let’s make sure MPF is ok. Run mpf diagnosis from within your machine folder to see if your installation is fine:
$ mpf diagnosis
MPF version: MPF v0.50.0-dev.11
MPF install location: /data/home/jan/cloud/flipper/src/mpf/mpf
Machine folder detected: /data/home/jan/cloud/flipper/src/good_vs_evil
MPF-MC version: MPF-MC v0.50.0-dev.5 (config_version=5, BCP v1.1, Requires MPF v0.50.0-dev.10)
Serial ports found:
/dev/ttyUSB3
desc: Quad RS232-HS
hwid: USB VID:PID=0403:6011 LOCATION=1-12
/dev/ttyUSB2
desc: Quad RS232-HS
hwid: USB VID:PID=0403:6011 LOCATION=1-12
/dev/ttyUSB1
desc: Quad RS232-HS
hwid: USB VID:PID=0403:6011 LOCATION=1-12
/dev/ttyUSB0
desc: Quad RS232-HS
hwid: USB VID:PID=0403:6011 LOCATION=1-12
If you suspect a problem with MPF itself you can try to run the demo_man game. Make sure that you select the same version as your MPF version (i.e. demo_man 0.33.x for MPF 0.33.10).
Additionally, you can run the MPF and MPF-MC unit tests (the number of tests may be different).
$ python3 -m unittest discover -s mpf.tests
[...]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 622 tests in 20.818s
OK
Similarly, you can run MPF-MC unit tests (they will take a bit longer and might show some deprecation warnings from kivy):
$ python3 -m unittest discover -s mpfmc.tests
[...]
Ran 182 tests in 193.610s
OK
3. Debug crashes/segfaults/hangs
If you experience a crash/segfault or hang (especially in MC) you can run gdb on python to find the crash or hang. You can attach a debugger to the running mc process like this:
$ ps aux | grep mpf
jan 9678 12.4 0.3 1082068 127304 pts/2 SNl+ 23:17 0:06 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/mpf mc
jan 9760 37.0 0.1 571368 56660 pts/3 Sl+ 23:17 0:01 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/mpf game -X
In this example 9678 is the pid of MC and 9760 is the pid of MPF. You can then attach gdb:
$ sudo gdb python3 9678
[...]
(gdb) thread apply all bt
[...]
(gdb) thread apply all py-bt
[...]
Please send us the complete output of gdb. That will help us to figure out the problem.
4. Ask in our forum
If you cannot solve the problem ask in our support forum. Please include the following information:
1. The output of mpf diagnosis
2. In case you suspect an installation problem include the output of unittests and if you can run demo_man.
3. If you got a problem with a device (e.g. a ball_lock) or a platform (e.g. P-Roc or FAST) add debug: True to the relevant config section to enable extra debug output.
4. Add a log of your game. Therefore, run your game with mpf both -v -V and grab the latest MPF and MC log from the log folder in your machine.
5. Describe how to reproduce your problem.
6. Provide relevant config snippets or, if possible, a link to download/checkout your machine config so we can reproduce the issue. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

The spirit of invasion upon the principles of the Constitution of the United States, of which we have been forewarned, has already been abroad, and it has adopted the very method of assault specifically pointed out. It has struck at the vital forces of our system and sought to implant therein the essential elements of tyranny.

Hearing Aids and Cell Phones
If you have hearing aids or a cochlear implant, it is now easier for you to find a cell phone that will work for you. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires cell phone makers and service providers to make phones work better for people using hearing aids and cochlear implants.
Hearing Aids and Cell Phones: What You Should Know Before You Buy
by Susan Boswell
What do the new Federal Communications Commission rules require?
If you have hearing aids or a cochlear implant, it will now be easier for you to find a cell phone that will work for you. New rules adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) require cell phone makers and service providers to make phones work better for people using hearing aids and cochlear implants. These rules require:
• Less static
• Less interference
• Better telecoil connections
How do I find out if a cell phone will work for me?
Look at the label.
To find out if a cell phone is hearing aid compatible (HAC), look for the label in one of these places:
• On a card next to the phone on display at the cell phone store
• On the cell phone package
• In the cell phone users manual
If you cannot find the label in any of these places, the phone is not HAC.
Rate your phone.
Cell phones that work well with hearing aids will have a microphone (M) rating of M3 or M4. This means the cell phone will work with the hearing aid in the microphone position. A higher M number means the phone will sound clearer.
If you have a hearing aid or cochlear implant with a telecoil, look for a phone that has a telecoil (T) rating of T3 or T4. A higher T rating will make your conversations clearer.
Rate your hearing aid.
Hearing aid makers will use a similar rating system to let you know how well their hearing aids work in the microphone or the telecoil mode. Hearing aids using the microphone mode will be rated from M1 to M4. A higher rating means you will hear less noise and have a better connection. The rating for the telecoil will be from T1 to T4. A higher rating means you will be able to hear better in the telecoil mode.
Add up the M- or T-ratings for the cell phone and the hearing aid.
• Combined rating 6: Considered "best" or "excellent." This rating would provide highly useable, excellent performance.
• Combined rating 5: Considered "normal." Acceptable for normal, regular phone use.
• Combined rating 4: Considered "usable." May be able to complete a brief call, but not an acceptable quality for normal, regular phone use.
Most new hearing aids will have an M2/T2 rating. Ask your audiologist about the rating of your hearing aid. The rating system is not required for cochlear implants.
What other features should I consider?
You may want to look at other features and options that make cell phones usable and convenient. These cell phone features include:
• Volume control. Most phones have an adjustable volume control.
• Display and keypad lighting control. This is important because the lighting is a source of noise for telecoil users.
• Vibrating alerts or vibrating accessory.
• Flashing screen to alert to a call.
• Different ringer volume and tones.
• Text messaging services and ease of use on the phone device.
• Speaker phone. Using a speaker phone may reduce interference by putting distance between the phone and the hearing aid.
• Teletypewriter (TTY) or other assistive device connections. Make sure the phone has "TTY Mode" or "TTY Option" in its menu system. Look for the TTY symbol on the phone's package or user manual.
• Speech-to-text.
• Video streaming.
Are there any accessories and attachments that can make cell phone connections better?
Add-on devices may also make cell phone and hearing aid connections better. These devices put distance between the hearing aid and the cell phone. This decreases the interference between the two devices.
Some add-on devices can provide hands-free phone use, which is important while driving. Many states now require cell phone users to use such "hands-free" devices while driving. If you use the microphone mode in your hearing aid, you may be able to use the speaker phone function available on some wireless devices.
Several manufacturers have developed a neckloop or earhooks for hearing aids or cochlear implants that have a telecoil. These neckloops and earhooks include a microphone and plug into the cell phone to make it easier to hear.
People who use an in-the-ear hearing aid may benefit from an add-on device that has an earbud (like the earbuds used in personal audio devices). The earbud connects to an amplifier and microphone and attaches to the cell phone. Those who prefer Bluetooth (wireless) can use a device that connects directly to a behind-the-ear hearing aid or use neckloops or earhooks.
Any last tips for me to know before I purchase new technology?
Try before you buy!
Shop at stores where the staff are willing and able to answer your questions. Try different phones before you buy one. Some wireless carriers will allow you to trade up to a new phone after a certain period of time.
Know the policy on cancellation.
Most wireless carriers will allow you to return a product -within a specified period of time-if the cell phone doesn't work well for you. Ask about policies on cancellation and early termination fees.
Shop for plans that fit your communication style.
If you like to text message more than talk on the phone, look for a plan that has a lot of text messaging minutes. Otherwise, you may have to pay different fees for text and voice services.
Where can I get further information?
The Access Wireless Web site provides information about hearing aid accessibility, cell phone compatibility, frequently asked questions, and brochures.

Eli is bringing the team to another superbowl in 2012, not 2011.
The article claims Eli is bring the team to another superbowl in 2011 instead of 2012. If it is meant as the 2011 season, then the section mentioning that he brought the team to a superbowl in 2008 should then be changed to 2007.

University of Mississippi NOT Mississippi College
In the info box on the right-side of the article it states "College: Mississippi". Please change this to read: "University of Mississippi (Ole Miss)." There is a Mississippi College in Jackson, MS that is not affiliated with the University of Mississippi.

* The link is already to Ole Miss. The template used does supports a "cis" parameter for collegiate Canadian football, and also renders the word "University." The "college" parameter is for collegiate American football and renders the word "College." Tjhnova, you raise a valid point, but until the template is altered, we really can't change this. I suggest that you voice your concerns on that template's talk page. NYCRuss ☎ 16:37, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
* Since I have not that much experience with the college and university systems at the American continent, one of your both have to explain it to me and I will try to implement this into the infobox... Please explain me exactly what has to be done (e.g.: adding a new field, naming/wikilinks, links, etc ) and I will try to implement this into the sandbox and we can discuss this before updating the infobox. mabdul 18:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
* In the U.S., "college" and "university" are often used interchangeably. Unlike in other countries, "college" does not necessarily imply an inferior education than "university." This particular template uses "college" to indicate an American institution of higher learning, and "university" to indicate a Canadian institution of higher learning. The State of Missisissippi is home to Mississippi College, as well as the University of Mississippi (also known as "Ole Miss.") Eli Manning attended Ole Miss. Because of how this particular template woks, it is rendering the word "college" with a link to college football, next to "University of Mississippi." NYCRuss ☎ 23:13, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Reference in Nicki Minaj song
I think that it should be included that Manning is referenced in the Nicki Minaj song Roman's Revenge under popular culture as it relates directly to him and is not currently included on the Wiki.

Edit request on 5 March 2012
Eli Manning (under sub-heading 'Super Bowl XLII' in paragraph that begins "Trailing 14-10..." Manning became only the second quarterback in NFL history to throw two go-ahead fourth quarter touchdowns in a Super Bowl (Joe Montana being the first).[63]
This fact is INCORRECT, as BOTH of Montan's TD passes in the fourth quarter Super Bowl XXIII did NOT give San Francisco the LEAD, ONLY the LAST ONE did (the first one only TIED the game). The Elias Sports Bureau cited fact is incorrect and cannot be located, and should not be referenced under #63, as it is incorrect.
Therefore, the Wiki text should be changed to read that 'Eli Manning is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw two go-ahead fourth quarter touchdowns in a Super Bowl.'
The text could also be changed to read that Eli became the THIRD quarterback in NFL history to throw two TYING OR go-ahead fourth quarter touchdowns in a Super Bowl (after Joe Montana in Super Bowl XXXIII, and Jake Delhomme in Super Bowl XXXVIII.). (But this is not as important as the above, corrected statement, which is more dramatic and effective.) If you need a source, see Pro-Football Reference.com, under Super Bowls.

Not done: He threw the first to go-ahead 10-7, then the last to go ahead 17-14. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 06:43, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Celestra's note is wrong, my edit above is correct - In Super Bowl 23, Joe Montana's first TD pass in the fourth quarter only tied the game at 13-13. The second one won the game 20-16. Celestra's scores are wrong and were never the scores in Super Bowl 23. That is the only one of Montana's 4 Super Bowls that he threw a 4th quarter, go-ahead touchdown pass. (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/super-bowl/xxiii.htm) I asked the Elias Sports Bureau about their source that is in the Wiki listing and they told me that it comes from an ESPN page that is wrong, so Celestra, nor anyone else shoulduse it for citation for this fact. Go to any other sports site on the internet about Super Bowl 23 and you will see that Celestra's/ESPN's scores in this citation are wrong. Please make this needed change, in order to have an accurate site. Thanks.

* Not sure what to do. The lead section says "Manning holds Giants franchise records for most passing yards, touchdown passes and completed passes in a career". The Giants franchise records section seems out-of-date with regard to a career record. Most consecutive starts by a quarterback says: 119, but List of most consecutive starts by a National Football League quarterback says 178 (167 + 11). The Statistics section needs updated for 2014.

I agree that the "Giants franchise records" section needs to be updated.

Edit request: Manning sets new Giants team record in 2015
With his win over the 49ers on October 11, 2015 Manning became the winningest QB in Giants franchise history with 102 wins. This includes both regular and post season victories. I think a reference to that is appropriate in the opening portion of this article, among his other noteworthy team records.

Who cites Manning as a game-manager? Eli Manning has NEVER been cited as a game manager, like ever. When he had his clutch seasons and won two Superbowl MVPs and the rings that came with them, he was known as an elite, clutch QB. Then when he had his awful season in 2013 he was hardly a game manager since he was losing games for the Giants with his poor performance. Now in 2014 and 2015 when he's passing like a top 5 QB, that has changed. I would like to see ONE article on the internet that cites Eli Manning as a game manager.... he's either a clutch QB that wins the game for the team or he screws up and loses it. A game manager is a QB who just scrapes by and basically makes short, safe passes, and gives the ball to RBs and tries to not lose the game for his team. This article is silly.

Game manager....
Eli Manning is not a game manager QB and the constant attempts to edit this article to state that are ridiculous. It contradicts Wikipedia's own definition of a game manager QB. A game manager QB is one who plays very conservatively, relying on the run game and very short, low risk passes in order to avoid turnovers because they lack the skill otherwise, or are too old. Think Peyton Manning in the recent super bowl. Eli Manning is a risk taker, and throws the ball deep when he wants to. He either throws great passes when he does, or gets intercepted, reflected in his high INT number. Though that's changed with the new offensive scheme the Giants run, he still threw the second most TDs in the league last year. That is simply not a game manager.

A Deeper Engineering to Design the World best Document Management Solution
Absolutely! Designing a world-class Document Management System (DMS) requires a deep dive into engineering principles and a comprehensive understanding of user needs. Here’s a breakdown of the key considerations and approaches:
1. Foundational Engineering Principles:
• Scalability: The DMS must be able to handle growing volumes of documents and users without sacrificing performance. This involves choosing appropriate database technologies, designing for distributed systems, and optimizing algorithms for efficient retrieval and processing.
• Reliability: Document integrity and availability are paramount. The system should have robust backup mechanisms, redundancy measures, and error-handling capabilities to ensure documents are never lost or corrupted.
• Security: Data security is non-negotiable. The DMS should implement multi-layered security measures, including access controls, encryption (both at rest and in transit), intrusion detection, and regular vulnerability assessments.
• Performance: Users expect quick response times and smooth interactions. Optimizing database queries, caching frequently accessed documents, and using efficient algorithms can significantly improve system performance.
2. User-Centric Design:
• Intuitive Interface: The DMS should be easy to use, even for non-technical users. A clean, well-organized interface with clear navigation and intuitive functionalities is essential.
• Customization: Different organizations have unique workflows and document management needs. The DMS should offer a high degree of customization, allowing users to tailor the system to their specific requirements.
• Collaboration: Modern workplaces often involve collaboration on documents. The DMS should facilitate seamless collaboration through features like version control, simultaneous editing, commenting, and approval workflows.
• Mobile Accessibility: With the rise of remote work and mobile devices, the DMS should be accessible from anywhere, on any device, ensuring productivity on the go.
3. Advanced Features:
• Artificial Intelligence (AI): Leveraging AI can significantly enhance a DMS. AI-powered features like automatic document classification, intelligent search, and sentiment analysis can save users time and provide valuable insights.
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR): OCR technology allows the DMS to extract text from scanned documents or images, making them searchable and editable.
• Integration: The DMS should seamlessly integrate with other business applications like CRM, ERP, and email clients, creating a unified information ecosystem.
• Analytics: Analytics and reporting features can provide valuable insights into document usage patterns, helping organizations identify bottlenecks, optimize workflows, and make data-driven decisions.
4. Development and Deployment:
• Agile Methodology: An agile development approach allows for iterative development and frequent feedback from users, ensuring that the final product meets their needs.
• Cloud or On-Premises: The DMS can be deployed in the cloud or on-premises, depending on the organization’s infrastructure and security requirements.
• Continuous Improvement: The DMS should be regularly updated and improved based on user feedback, evolving technologies, and emerging security threats.
docEdge DMS: Leading the Way
docEdge DMS by Pericent embodies these engineering principles and user-centric design philosophies. It offers a comprehensive suite of features, including:
