Martha Karolyi again denies knowing of Larry Nassar's abuse
(CNN)If disgraced doctor Larry Nassar managed to secretly abuse young gymnasts in their parents' presence, a coach who ran the famed Karolyi Ranch training center has insisted she couldn't have known either. Martha Karolyi explained her reasoning in taped comments that aired Friday morning, marking the first public reaction from her and her husband, legendary coach Bela Karolyi, since Nassar's downfall changed the sport forever. "If you couldn't suspect anything -- I heard during the testimonies that some of the parents were in therapy room with their own child and Larry Nassar was performing this and parent couldn't see -- how could I see?" Martha Karolyi told NBC's Savannah Guthrie in an interview for "Dateline," set to air in its entirety Sunday night. Excerpts aired Friday on NBC's "Today" show. Karolyi's comments echo testimony she and her husband gave during sworn depositions in May 2017, which were obtained by CNN. In her deposition, Martha Karolyi said she didn't know about Nassar's abuse until June 2015, when she received a phone call from then-USAG President Steve Penny. When asked if she'd been aware of any sexual misconduct by Nassar prior to that point, Martha said, "Absolutely not." Martha and Bela Karolyi testified that they had little, if any, responsibility while national elite gymnasts trained at their ranch one week every month. Bela Karolyi said USA Gymnastics set and enforced all policies at the ranch during those periods. 'It's a crime and it's so sad' For decades, Bela and Martha Karolyi have run the prominent Karolyi Ranch, a training facility tucked away in southeast Texas that bred gymnastics champions -- along with a fear of then-team doctor Nassar, who some victims say molested them at the ranch. "The whole thing is just like an explosion, a bomb exploding: Boom," Bela Karolyi said of the Nassar scandal's impact on the world of elite gymnastics. After a series of high-profile trials and victim testimonies, Nassar was sentenced recently to decades behind bars for sexually abusing girls under the guise of medical treatment. USA Gymnastics cut ties with the Karolyi Ranch in January after several gymnasts -- including four-time gold medalist Simone Biles -- said Nassar abused her at the ranch. Asked how she feels about claims by some of gymnastics' biggest stars say they were violated on the Karolyi Ranch, Martha Karolyi told Guthrie: "That's awful. But I would say, even if they had big names or they have no names, any child who was violated by Nassar, it's a crime and it's so sad." | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
FBI docs show program to recruit informants entering US | TheHill
The FBI and U.S. customs office work together to recruit potential informants that are entering the U.S., according to government documents obtained by The Intercept. In one of the documents, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) refers to itself as the “GO TO agency in the Law Enforcement world when it comes to identifying individuals of either source or lead potential.” CBP provides assistance to the FBI by giving the agency passenger lists and fingerprint data, the report said. The FBI can also request CBP to flag certain travelers, pull them aside for questioning and conduct extra screenings.According to the obtained presentation slides from the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force, “if subject is deemed ‘recruitable,' " then a “series of overt interviews set into motion.” However, if the targeted individual is “not recruitable,” then “NO HARM. Subject believes that the interview is part of the immigration process.”Another CBP slide says that “Prior coordination can help make interviews as quick or as long as necessary."The CBP is also said to have power to search through "pocket litter" alongside “full cell dump, including #s, text messages, pictures, etc.” at some airports.The information obtained from the searches is then filed into a database that identifies potential informants and can lead to a follow-up visit from the FBI, the report said.The documents also mention the “immigration relief dangle,” a forbidden practice of promising immigration benefits to potential informants. One slide mentions that the agents can target "subjects in line for immigration relief … who will ultimately receive their benefit anyhow.” View the discussion thread.

This article fails to meet WP:BIO. Wikipedia does not benefit from having vanity articles for every cheerleader or game-show contestant that has ever lived. Distinct notability for the fields mentioned not established. Ash (talk) 09:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
* Keep To some extent I share your dislike for similar "notable personalities". However, Molly Shattuck was the oldest NFL cheerleader, which was covered in reliable media: CBSNews, People.com, Gelf Magazine etc. The subject meets WP:BIO, as "the person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". In this case, the field is cheerleading. In my opinion, it is possible to write an encyclopedic article using reliable sources. All of this is absolutely uninteresting for me, but it could be interesting for someone else. --Vejvančický (talk) 10:31, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
* Thinking about the term "enduring historical record"... if the only thing she's truly notable for is having been the oldest cheerleader for the Ravens (the sources do not actually establish that she was the oldest for all teams in the USA, or the world) then this still looks like a poor argument for notability considering the long term view. Compare being athletic enough at 38 to do cheerleader routines with the people on List of oldest professional athletes by sport.—Ash (talk) 10:49, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
* Comment I would support also merging to Mayo A. Shattuck III, as Racepacket suggests. It seems to be a sensible outcome. --Vejvančický (talk) 13:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
* Can you change your vote to keep or merge? As mentioned, she is not the oldest NFL cheerleader, so even if that would be enough for an article, she doesn't meet it. Alio The Fool 21:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
* Delete- she is not the oldest person to engage in cheerleading. Her "fame" stems from her marriage to the head of the Baltimore-based electric and gas utility. Absent that connection, the press would not cover her and she would not have the reality show engagement. There are thousands of CEOs of American companies whose wives gain local press coverage ("Mrs. CEO organizes charity event"; "Mrs. CEO takes a trip", etc.) However, such incidental local coverage is not sufficient to establish notability. At most, add a sentence to the Mayo Shattuck article about his wife. Racepacket (talk) 11:13, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
* Keep e.g. notability on her own in Secret Millionaire, whether she achieved this through her husband's money or not is irrelevent it is not the same as notability confered from her husband. Jbtscott (talk) 12:02, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
* Keep. Sources above pass WP:GNG. We're not here to judge why a subject is notable. We're not here to put our personal tastes in judging notability. Yes, I personally don't care about this cheerleader. But she is notable. There are sources that allow an article to be written. That's all we need. -- Cycl o pia talk 00:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* I might agree with you if there was a source that demonstrated she was notable for being the oldest known cheerleader to do this on any team.—Ash (talk) 07:43, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* And why has he to be notable "for being the oldest..."? She's been covered in sources. Maybe she is the oldest, or not, but that is irrelevant. The point is that sources have discussed her, thus we can (and ought) report her. -- Cycl o pia talk 17:58, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* This is wrong. "Being mentioned in an article" does not make you notable enough for a Wikipedia article. I can find thousands of people mentioned in articles that have very little notability. She has not done anything to make her notable, except marry someone. So she can have a mention in her husband's article. Alio The Fool 21:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
* To answer your question; I am basing my nomination on WP:BIO, specifically to meet "part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field". Shattuck's biographical article has to demonstrate she is notable in the sense of the historical record of cheer-leading (or another field), not just that several papers have picked up a human interest story. None of the sources discussed so far make a clear case for that as I have already explained.—Ash (talk) 18:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* Apart from the fact that WP:BIO is a complement to WP:GNG, and in any case it has to demonstrate that A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published[3] secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent,[4] and independent of the subject.[5] -which seems to be the case. What you're talking about are additional criteria: in fact WP:BIO says: Should a person fail to meet these additional criteria, they may still be notable under Notability. Once we meet WP:N, notability is therefore established. -- Cycl o pia talk 18:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
* Merge or delete She is not the oldest. There have been two cheerleaders older than her. She has no notability outside of being someone's wife. Being a cheerleader is not notable. Being on some second rate show is not notable. This should either be deleted or merged to her husband's article. Alio The Fool 21:06, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

results as far as may be compatible with the relations subsisting between Great Britain and Mexico, in complete accordance with the assurances wbich have been given. Nor has the Executive any distrust that all the professions on the part of Her Britannic Majesty will not be efficiently fulfilled.
In the month of June last, a dispatch from the Chargé d'Affaires of Great Britain near this Government announced the willingness of Mexico to proclaim an armistice, and suspend all hostile action in case the same policy should be adopted by ihis Government. Under these circumstances, the Executive did not hesitate to meet the proposition and embrace the policy indicated. He accordingly issued his proclamation declaring the establishment of the armistice; and commissioners were subsequently appointed, and dispatched to the point designated for the purpose of arranging with the Mexican commissioners the terms of the armistice preliminary to further negotiations for peace at the capital. Since their departure the Executive has received no important intelligence from them, but confidently expects, during the present session of the honorable Congress, to be able to lay before them some account of the progress of the mission. He is satisfied that nothing will be wanting on the part of the gentlemen chosen for that service to forward an object for which their patriotism and qualifications seemed to point them out. The Executive has no disinclination to an honorable peace; and he hopes that Mexico, like Texas, will be disposed to put an end to a protracted war, the further continuance of which can only prove detrimental to both. As far as a frank, sincere, and upright policy will go in the attainment of an honorable and permanent peace, it shall not be wanting on the part of the Executive, whatever might be the advantages anticipated from a continuance of the contest with the increased population and resources of this country. That Mexico will evince the same disposition, and avert the evils of war by a mild and pacific policy is, I am quite sure, desired by the mutual friends of the two countries. If peace can once be established, the commercial intercourse of the people of both could not fail to create that state of feeling which would soon obliterate the recollection of past conflicts, and cement the two nations together by all the ties of the most agreeable understanding.
A further prosecution of the war could have no other effect than to insure the destruction of human life, the consumption of resources of both parties, and the demoralization of their national character. The wisdom and policy of the statesmen of the present day are repugnant to war and bloodshed. In this respect the social and political feelings of civilized nations seem to have undergone a revolution. Governments that heretofore sought to increase by every means the number of their triumphs, and embodied their national glory in the number of their victories, are now yielding to the policy and dictates of peace; by which intelligence is advanced, national wealth increased, and the moral tone of society improved.
Immediately upon the receipt of authentic intelligence of the capture of our men at Meir, the Government adopted such measures as it was hoped would preserve their lives and restore them to liberty. Letters weie addressed to the friendly powers upon this subject, soliciting their prompt and efficient interposition. But, although remonstrances were made by the British and American ministers at Mexico, and although the greatest expedition was used, their interposition did not prevail until some of our brave men had been consigned to destruction.

The Development of Arches in a Toddler's Feet
If your toddler's cute, pudgy feet and toes leave a footprint as flat as pancake, you might be concerned about his flat feet. Rest assured -- 80 to 90 percent of toddlers normally have flat feet, according to the Seattle Children's Hospital. Most develop an arch eventually, although around 20 percent of adults have flat feet. Some flatfoot conditions are inherited, so take a look at your own footprints in the sand to see if your toddler's feet are just another example of heredity at work.
Why They're Flat
Kids have flat feet for two reasons, one of which is evident just by looking at them: their feet have fat between the bones, which makes them flatten when they stand.Toddlers are also fairly loosely strung, meaning that their tendons and ligaments, including the ones in the their feet, are still loose and flexible. That's why they can put themselves in positions that would send you to the chiropractor. When they put weight on their foot, the tendons don't hold the arch up yet. This condition, called flexible flatfoot, resolves in time.
When They Change
Around age 2 or 3, you'll notice a change in your child's footprint as the arch begins to develop, according to MedlinePlus. Some kids have flat feet for even longer, but most develop arches sometime in their first decade. One way to tell if your kid's foot is developing normally is to have her stand on her toes. Look for the arch as she stands --does she have one? If so, you don't need to worry about her flat feet; she has flexible flatfoot and will most likely outgrow it over time.
When to Worry
Unless your toddler has pain in his foot when he walks, has an odd gait or is wearing out his shoes more on one side than the other, you don't need to cart him off to the foot doctor. Flatfoot is only a problem if it causes symptoms, in toddlers as well as adults -- something to remember if your child has inherited your flat feet. Sometimes a tight cord in the heel can cause flatfoot; this condition might respond to physical therapy and stretching, or could eventually require surgery if it causes symptoms. Abnormal fusion of bones in the back of the foot, a condition called tarsal coalition or rigid flatfoot, can also cause pain that needs medical evaluation.
Shoes
If your pediatrician takes a cursory look at your little flatfoot and says his feet are fine, you can put him in any type of shoe that fits your fancy. No matter what your grandmother says, -- whose generation put high white supportive shoes on all their children -- toddlers don't need supportive shoes, unless they have a rigid flat foot or pain in their feet. In that case, your doctor might scribble a prescription for corrective shoes and send you off to a specialty shoe store to be fitted by someone with training in foot problems or have a foot specialist take a look.

Rh V34 CONST ANTIN US. nach on the Rhine in Germany as some pretend, Constantine had a vision, seeing in his sleep a cross with the inscription eV toJt viKa. Thus, it is said, he adopted the cross, and in that sign was victorious.* Constantine crossed the Cottian Alps (Mount Cenis), defeated the vanguard of Maxentius at Turin, entered Milan, and laid seige to Verona, under the walls of which Maxentius suflFered a severe defeat. Another battle fought near Rome on the 28th of October, 312, decided the fate of Maxentius : his army was completel}'^ routed, and while he tried to escape over the Milvian bridge into Rome, he was driven by the throng of the fugitives into the Tiber and perished in the river. [Maxkntius.] Constantine entered Rome, and displayed great activity in restoring peace to that city, and in removing the causes of the frequent disturbances by which Rome had been shaken during the reign of Maxentius ; he disbanded the body of the Praetorians, and in order that the empire might derive some advantage from the ex- istence of the senators, he subjected them and their families to a heavy poll-tax. He also accepted the title of Pontifex Maximus, which shews that at that time he had not the slightest intention of elevating Christianity at the expense of Paganism. The fruit of Constantine's victories was the un- disputed mastership of the whole western part of the empire, with its ancient capital, Rome, which, however, had then ceased to be the ordinary resi- dence of the emperol-8. At the same time, impor- tant events took place in the East. The emperor Galerius died in a. D. 311, and Licinius, having united his dominions with his own, was involved in a war with Maximin, who, after having taken Byzantium by surprise, was defeated in several battles, and died, on his flight to Egypt, at Tarsus in Cilicia, in 313. [Maximinus.] Thus Licinius became sole master of the whole East, and the em- pire had now only two heads. In the following year, 314, a war broke out between Licinius and Constantine. At Cibalis, a town on the junction of the Sau with the Danube, in the southernmost part of Pannonia, Constantine defeated his rival with an inferior force ; a second battle, at Mardia in Thrace, was indecisive, but the loss which Lici- nius sustained was immense, and he sought for peace. This was readily granted him by Constan- tine, who perhaps felt himself not strong enough to drive his rival to extremities ; but, Satisfied with the acquisition of Illyricum, Pannonia, and Greece, which Licinius ceded to him, he establish- ed a kind of mock friendship between them by giving to Licinius the hand of his sister Constan- tina. During nine years the peace teraained un- disturbed, a time which Constantine iemployed in reforming the administration of the empire by those laws of which we shall speak below, and in defending the northern frontiers against the in- roads of the barbarians. Illyricum and Pannonia were the principal theatres of these devastations, and among the various barbarians that dwelt north of the Danube and the Black Sea, the Goths, who had occupied Dacia, were the most dangerous. Constantine chastised them several times in Illyri- cum, and finally crossed the Danube, entered Dacia, and compelled them to respect the dignity Btantin le Grand," by Du Voisin, bishop of Nantes. CONST ANTIN US. of the Roman empire. His fame as a great mott- arch, distinguished both by civil and military abi- lities, increased every year, and the consciousness of his talents and power induced him to make a final struggle for the undivided government of the empire. In 323, he declared war against Licinius, who was then advanced in years and was detested for his cruelties, but whose land forces were equal to those of Constantine, while his navy was more numerous and manned with more experienced sailors. The first battle took place near Adrianople on the 3rd of July, 323. Each of the emperors had above a hundred thousand men under his com- mand ; but, after a hard struggle, in which Con- stantine gave fresh proofs of his skill and personal courage, Licinius was routed with great slaughter, his fortified camp was stormed, and he fled to By- zantium. Constantine followed him thither, and while he laid siege to the town, his eldest son Crispus forced the entrance of the Hellespont, and in a three days' battle defeated Amandus, the ad- miral of Licinius, who lost one-third of his fleet. Unable to defend Byzantium with success, Licinius went to Bithynia, assembled his troops, and offered a second battle, which was fought at Chrysopolis, now Skutari, opposite Byzantium. Constantine obtained a complete victory, and Licinius fled to Nicomedeia. He surrendered himself on condition of having his life spared, a promise which Con- stantine made on the intercession of his sister Con- stantina, the wife of Licinius ; but, after spending a short time in false security at Thessalonica, the place of his exile, he was put to death by order of his fortunate rival. We cannot believe that he was killed for forming a conspiracy ; the cause of his death was undoubtedly the dangerous import- ance of his person. [Licinius; Constantina.] Constantine acted towards his memory as, during the restoration iri France, the memory of Napoleon was treated by the Bourbons : his reign was con- sidered as an usurpation, his laws were declared void, and infamy was cast upon his name. Constantine was now sole master of the empire, and the measures which he adopted to maintain himself in his lofty station were as vigorous, though less bloody, as those by which he succeeded in at- taining the great object of his ambition. The West and the East of the empire had gradually become more distinct from each other, and as each of those great divisions had already been governed during a considerable period by different rulers, that distinction became dangerous for the integrity of the whole, in proportion as the people were accustomed to look upon each other as belong- ing to either of those divisions, rather than to the whole empire. Rome was only a nomi- nal capital, and Italy, corrupted by luxury and vices, had ceased to be the source of Roman gran- deur. Constantine felt the necessity of creating a new centre of the empire, and, after some hesita- tion, chose that city which down to the present day is a gate both to the East and the West. He made Byzantium the capital of the empire and the residence of the emperors, and called it after his own name, Constantinople, or the city of Constan- tine. The solemn inauguration of Constantinople took place in a. d. 330, according to Idatius and the Chronicon Alexandrinum. The possibility of Rome ceasing to be the capital of the Roman em- pire, had been already observed by Tacitus, who says (Hist, i. 4), " Evulgato imperii arcano, posse

Larval feeding substrate and species significantly influence the effect of juvenile hormone analog on sexual development/performance in four tropical tephritid flies. Journal of Insect Physiology. 55:231-242.
Interpretive Summary: Pest fruit flies are often control through sterile male releases (SIT), but increases in mass-rearing efficacy and male sexual competitiveness lower costs and increase efficacy. Ingestion of juvenile hormone (JH) is a means of accelerating maturation in certain fruit flies so that they are ready sooner for release. At the same time JH increases male sexual success in some species. Scientists at the USDA-ARS Center for Medical, Agricultural and Veterinary Entomology, Gainesville, Florida in collaboration with colleagues at the Instituto de Ecologia (Xalapa, Vercruz Mexico) exposed four potentially invasive fruit species to JH in their adult food. Flies in only one species matured sooner after eating JH and that was only if they had developed as larvae in a certain type of fruit. The information that JH effects might depend on larval food has implications for the creation of diets for mass-rearing and will be pursued to improve SIT efficacy.
Technical Abstract: The juvenile hormone analog methoprene reduces the amount of time it takes laboratory-reared Anastrepha suspensa (Caribbean fruit fly) males to reach sexual maturity by almost half. Here, we examined if methoprene exerted a similar effect on four other species of Anastrepha (A. ludens, A. obliqua, A. serpentina and A. striata) reared on natural hosts and exhibiting contrasting life history strategies. In the case of A. ludens we worked with two populations that stemmed from Casimiroa greggii (ancestral host, larvae feed on seeds) and Citrus paradisi (exotic host, larvae feed on pulp). In multiple species comparisons, the effect of methoprene on first appearance of male calling behavior was only apparent in the case of A. ludens, and then only in flies stemming from C. greggii. The opposite effect was found for the number of days elapsed until the first female oviposited, in which case females from C. paradisi started to lay eggs almost one day earlier than those stemming from C. greggii. Additionally, males of A. ludens males stemming from C. paradisi (independent of treatment) called and mated almost twice as often as did males stemming from C. greggii. There were significant host and host by treatment interactions with respect to egg clutch size for A. ludens. Females stemming from C. paradisi laid significantly more eggs per clutch and total number of eggs than females stemming from C. greggii. In the multiple species comparison, treatment and treatment by species interaction effects were detected with respect to mean clutch size. Finally, eclosion from eggs varied between species with A. serpentina having the lowest hatch. We center our discussion on a larval-food hypothesis which we develop based on the differential effect of methoprene observed in A. ludens depending on host origin and also interpret our results in light of the life history differences exhibited by the different species we compared.

-- Commercial Real Estate Hindered by Tight Credit, Realtors Say
A “major portion” of small
commercial-property deals in the U.S. have fallen through
because of stricter lending standards, according to a National
Association of Realtors survey. While the commercial real estate market showed signs of
recovery in 2011, credit tightened in the past year for small
businesses, the group said today in a report. Two out of three
agents helping clients buy properties for less than $2 million
said the purchases were scuttled because of a lack of capital,
according to the survey. Small-business transactions relied heavily on regional and
local banks, and 30 percent of the purchases of properties such
as apartments, offices, warehouses, land, shopping centers and
restaurants were made with cash, according to the survey. “This is very much a tale of two markets,” Lawrence Yun ,
the association’s chief economist, said in the report. “There
have been notable improvements in capital for large commercial
transactions valued at $2.5 million or higher, but there remain
significant challenges for small businesses.” More than half of respondents said lending is just as
stringent as a year ago, 23 percent said it was tighter, and 20
percent said it was easier to obtain financing. The survey was conducted last month. A random sample of
32,459 Realtors with an interest in commercial real estate were
invited to complete the online questionnaire, and 474 responded. To contact the reporter on this story:

How to set default search window "Open in Find Window"
Hello, how can I set the default so when I do a "find" it shows in the Find Window at the bottom, not in that popup?
Thanks

Hi there,
It's only a preview -- it was like that even before .. but it was shown in separate tab so you may simply not seen it.
Right now -- after you have typed your search query -- just press Ctrl+Enter or click that button on the bottom right -- it will open search results in dedicated tool window just as before.

Thanks :)

No no no no no no, I hate this preview window. I don't want the preview window, I literally always want the find window. This has messed with my workflow for months. How do I get the preview window to go away and die forever?
The preview window has terrible performance.

very very happy to see this thread - this window has been one of my two biggest intellij pain points - and now that it's gone with a simple "registry" change, my life is much better. Thank you!!

Ermahgerd after digging through Andriy's link I eventually found this:
Help > Edit Custom Properties
Create the file if it doesn't exist, then add this line:
ide.find.as.popup=false
Solves all your problems, baby.
UPDATE 2019.2:
This no longer works in the latest updates. Very disappointing, breaks my workflows and ultimately makes me want to quit my subscription.
The closest thing we have remaining is to switch the CTRL+Enter or CMD+Enter key combos with a simple Enter key press:
ide.find.enter.as.ok=true
UPDATE 2020.1:
This just plain doesn't work anymore. The only work around is to hold CTRL or Command on your keyboard and press enter while searching.

Any chance to make this a real option?
It feels like being hidden away means that it might be removed at some point and the popup search is a very poor substitute

Please check this comment for a workaround: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-169996#focus=streamItem-27-2520331.0-0
We don't plan to change the default behavior.

In the latest version of php storm (2019.2) this does not work anymore.
ide.find.as.popup=false
This does replicate the search on enter behavior, but he modal looks like the new version (not the old)
ide.find.enter.as.ok=true
This behavior is however annoying. The search function in phpstorm was what kept me using it anyway since it's kinda slow lately.
I'm officially not using php storm anymore. Thanks phpstorm team. I stopped using an editor I've been using for 6 years because of this.

I *really* hate the popup and I use the search constantly. I can't seem to make it go away in 2019.2.
This no longer works:
ide.find.as.popup=false

I would be OK with any keyboard only way of "listing symbol search results with previews" which doesn't require clicking on that tiny icon.
Previews are useful, please don't make them hard to reach for symbol search.

I've reverted to 2019.1.
I very rarely search to find a single item so the results list closing (and resetting the list scrollbar when re-opened...) is just not a convenient way of working. And for the second or so that the popup is open before I hit enter (to get a real list) it doesn't seem worthwhile wasting CPU cycles formatting a list of results.
5
Is there any way of replicating the ide.find.as.popup=false behavior? I hate the popup window.

Another dissatisfied customer here after upgrading to WebStorm 2019.2. I hate the Find popup, and you have seriously messed with my productivity by removing ide.find.as.popup=false. Additional demerits for silently removing features. My annual WebStorm subscription comes due on August 17. I will be investigating alternatives to WebStorm between now and then.

Also dissatisfied, enough so that I am going to see what else is out there. Maybe something that doesn't cost as much and decides that I am not allowed to dock a window by default.

Have to say that popup is just not compatible with how I use find.
I use find constantly as I'm often working with other people's code. Generally I am looking for something which may be in any number of files, and I need to see the context of the lines around it. Having the the find window is great, I just click on each result, it brings up the file, and I can close it and click on the next.
So definitely would prefer to be able to use that by default.

@Camerongreen
So .. just press Ctrl+Enter (or click on "Open in Find Window" button on the bottom right) to list ALL results (not just top 100) in a standard Find Results toolwindow (exactly the same window that you get when dialog style window was used).
• Before (dialog style): type text and press Enter
• Now (popup style): type text and press Ctrl+Enter
Both will end up in the same Find Results tool window.
P.S. If super needed, even Ctrl+Enter can be replaced by Enter: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000188824/comments/360000655459

Can we just have a normal search with find in window??? making this is super complicated when I just want to search for text. why can't it be have an advanced option if needed???

Looks like the "ide.find.enter.as.ok=true" workaround has been removed in 2019.3
roll on June 91th so I can cancel my subscription and keep my perpetual license for the last version (2019.1.3) where the search wasn't the crappy one. This sucks

Dan: "ide.find.enter.as.ok=true" is still working for me in 2019.3 (build #WS-193-5233.80 on maOS 10.14.6).
But I still hate the fact that I can't skip this ridiculous, *HEAVY* Find UX, when *I DECIDE* that I need a hammer, not a sledgehammer.
Can someone from JetBrains please explain:
(1) Why was "ide.find.as.popup" removed in the first place?
(2) Why can it not be restored, given the number of people who found it useful?
2
I can't believe *anyone* likes the new find window. I find it both useless and annoying. Please, please, please, revert this change!

This is broken again. The setting in idea.properties no longer works for me, at least in 2019.3.
I'm on a Mac. This is the content of $HOME/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2019.3/idea.properties
# custom IntelliJ IDEA properties
ide.find.as.popup=false
Like everybody else, I hate the preview window. Can you please expose a way to disable it in the UI?

Robert Huffman if you see my earlier post you can kind of get it back with the following:
ide.find.enter.as.ok=true
It's not a complete replacement of the find popup, but as soon as you press enter it'll open the old search window.
UPDATE 2020.1:
This just plain doesn't work anymore. The only work around is to hold CTRL or Command on your keyboard and press enter while searching.

University of Sindh
The University of Sindh (سنڌ يونيورسٽي; informally known as Sindh University) is a public research university in Pakistan located in the city of Jamshoro. It is one of the oldest universities in Pakistan and was certified by ISO in 2015.
Founded in 1947 in Karachi, the university was relocated to Hyderabad in 1951, where it began to function as a full-fledged teaching university. The university is associated with four colleges of law and various other colleges. Sindh University is noted for its research in literature, natural sciences, philosophy, and Sindhology.
Recognized university
In 2018, the university was ranked eighth in "General Category" by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The university is on a 2300 acres (or 13 km2) campus on the foothills of Jamshoro.
This university is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities of the United Kingdom.
History
The work on establishing a university in the province of Sindh was started when Sindh was until part of British India. Due to efforts of Muhammad Ayub Khuhro and Hugh Dow, a Sindh University Committee was formed after passing of resolution named, Sindh Government Resolution, No. 607-B. /40 in June 1940.
After Pakistan gained independence in 1947, the only functioning university in the newly founded nation was the University of Punjab, which served the developed parts of the Punjab province. The Sindh province came under the academic purview of the University of Bombay, which had become a part of India.
A formal academic centre was therefore needed for Sindh and under Constitutional Act 27, titled University of Sindh, a resolution was passed by the provincial Legislative Assembly which founded the new university in Karachi, the national capital at the time. The act would later be revised in 1961 and several other times in the years to come. The 1972 revision allowed for the greater autonomy and representation of faculty that the university currently enjoys.
From independence in 1947 until 1955, Hyderabad was declared as the capital of Sindh and University operations were relocated from Karachi to Hyderabad in 1951, where it formally began to function as a teaching institution striving to fulfil its charter and its mission to disseminate knowledge.
The first department established at the university was the Department of Education, later renamed the Faculty of Education. The departments of basic science disciplines, as well as other departments of Humanities and Social Sciences, were added in the mid-1950s. With the sudden departmentalised growth of the university's organisational structure, a better equipped campus was desired. A new campus was established in 1955 in Jamshoro, 15 km from Hyderabad, on the right bank of the Indus River. This new campus was named after Allama Imdad Ali Imam Ali Kazi, former vice-chancellor of the university, as a tribute to his legacy as an esteemed scholar. Before Jamshoro was selected for the establishment of Sindh University, it was desolate and sparse but was deemed more suitable than Hyderabad, which lacked sufficient space to satisfy the university's ambitious expansion programs.
Organisation
Sindh University is administered from its central campus at Jamshoro. It is a collegiate university, encompassing four legal colleges and 74 undergraduate and post-graduate colleges in the vicinity of Hyderabad and elsewhere in Sindh. Located near the Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, and Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences, Jamshoro is the largest university city in Pakistan.
Campuses
The university has two main campuses (1 and 2) and seven other campuses:
* 1) Allama I.I. Kazi Campus in Jamshoro
* 2) Elsa Kazi Campus in Hyderabad, named after Allama I.I. Kazi's wife
* 3) Sindh University, Lar Campus at Badin
* 4) Sindh University, Mirpurkhas Campus
* 5) Sindh University, Larkana Campus
* 6) Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Campus, Dadu
* 7) Sindh University, Naushahro Feroze Campus
* 8) The University of Sufism and Modern Sciences, Bhit Shah Campus
* 9) Sindh University, Thatta Campus
* 10) Sindh University, Thar Campus (purposed)
Administration
The university's central administration, headed by the vice chancellor, is located in central Jamshoro. The campus comprises seven faculties: those of arts, pharmacy, education, Islamic studies, social sciences, natural sciences, and commerce and business administration. Each faculty is overseen by a dean appointed by the vice chancellor. Each faculty is housed in its own building. Colleges affiliated with the university primarily enforce curricular requirements and host examinations for degree-awarding status.
Teaching and degrees
Academic faculties of the university offer courses which culminate in undergraduate bachelor's, bachelor's honours (an extra year added to the bachelor's course) and postgraduate master's degrees and provide research guidance for the MPhil and PhD programmes. The teaching and research under the faculties of natural sciences, social sciences, arts, education, Islamic studies, commerce and business administration are directly imparted by the university.
Each faculty is headed by a dean, appointed by the vice-chancellor for three years. The university's teaching departments, institutes and centres offer programmes culminating in a four-year bachelor's (honours) degree in general and basic disciplines under arts and humanities studies, while a four-year bachelor's degree is offered under the faculty of natural sciences. The degrees have been designated accordingly indicating various disciplines, e.g., for Computer Science, BSc(CS) and Information Technology BSc(IT), etc.
The master's degree programmes are usually over one year after a bachelor's (honours) degree and over two years after other bachelor's degrees. The latter programmes are conducted through affiliated colleges under the jurisdiction of the university. The teaching under the faculty of law is conducted through the affiliated professional law colleges.
Degree programs with evening classes were introduced in 2002 and include master's degree courses in English and information technology disciplines such as e-commerce and multimedia technology. Many teaching departments offer a one-year postgraduate diploma as well as short-term certifications. Some of the degree colleges in the private sector that are affiliated with the university offer three-year bachelor's honours and master's degree programmes.
Developments and facilities
The development programmes initiated in 1959 have gradually borne fruit. Though still under construction, about 20 teaching blocks housing 39 institutes, departments and centres have been constructed. Five student residential halls now provide accommodation for about 1800 students.
Sporting facilities include the Hyder Bux Jatoi Pavilion constructed to provide indoor gaming facilities, a track ground for athletics and a sports grounds. The Fatima Jinah Gymnasium provides game and sport facilities exclusively for women. The Institute of Sindhology building, depicting the cultural heritage of Sindh, adorns the entrance to the campus from the national highway leading to Karachi. The imposing central library building, named after Allama I.I. Kazi, serves as a landmark.
The residences for faculty and staff house roughly a third of the university's employees. The university intends to expand the faculty residences and provide accommodation for 200 more employees. Formerly deserted patches of hilly tract have now been converted into tree lined roads and green pasture. The location of Mehran University, sharing the site with the Sindh University and the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences college and hospital complex in the neighbourhood substantially aided in the development of this land into a university town.
The university is accessible via the national highway (N5) at the Hyderabad bypass, about 150 km from Karachi and 15 to 18 km from Hyderabad. It has hosted international conferences, symposiums and seminars on science and education and on specialized scientific themes. Inter-university sports competitions and annual sports gatherings have become regular features. The museum and art galleries of the Institute of Sindhology attract many visitors from other parts of Pakistan and the world.
Research and collaboration
The university has established links with the following leading universities of the United Kingdom to promote research and encourage faculty development.
* 1) University of Durham
* 2) University of Manchester
* 3) University of Sussex
* 4) University of Essex
* 5) University of Leicester
* 6) University of Nottingham
Alumni
* Gul Muhammad Khan Jakhrani
* Manzoor Mengal Islamic scholar
* Raja Parvaiz Ashraf former Prime Minister of Pakistan
* Abida Taherani, former vice chancellor of the university | WIKI |

June, 1921 hoping that the Irish people, persecuted beyond endurance, will rise protesting and demonstrating in a helpless and defenceless mass. Then they can be shot down as were the natives of Armitsar in India. But against a big background of experience the generals of the Irish Army are cautious. The population is kept under strict discipline. The systematic destruction of native industries by the English army of occupation forces them to adopt some communist measures for self-preservation. They are imbibing the atmosphere and learning the art of revolution. I heard from an Irish communist in London that some Indian students had been in Dublin to study that art where it is in practical operation. It is impossible not to feel that the Irish revolution—nationalistic though it is—is an entering wedge directed straight to the heart of British capitalism | WIKI |
Learning about the Red Planet of Mars has been a large priority for NASA in recent decades, with several unmanned droids sent to the surface to find out as much information as they can.
There have been two Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, that were both deployed in 2003 at separate locations on Mars.
It had been planned for them to last 90 days on the surface, sending back data on the Martian surface and the geology of the planet. But thanks to solar energy they last much, much longer than anticipated, with Spirit remaining active until March 22, 2010, while Opportunity remained active until June 10, 2018.
The information they were able to send back to Earth during that time has been invaluable, and we have learnt so much more than we would have in just 90 days. Here are some of the major things they discovered:
Mars was once bathed in water: The discovering of the mineral hematite in a crater proved there was once water, but it was salty and acidic, which was not conducive to sustaining life.
Neutral water source discovered: Later on, Spirit discovered rocks that were 10 times higher in magnesium and iron carbonates, which suggests this area had neutral water that could have potentially sustained life.
The accidental discovery of hot springs: When Spirits wheel became stuck, it dug up pure silica as it worked to free itself. This is usually only discovered in hot springs or hot steam vents.
Underground river discovered: Opportunity discovered coloured veins of gypsum in the rocks of the Endeavor Crater which indicates an ancient underground river – these veins being where water burst through to the surface.
Clay discovered: Opportunity then found clay minerals, which had been forged in neutral water that could have almost certainly sustained life in the past.
Along with these discoveries, Opportunity’s long life meant that materials from the clouds and dust were monitored and sampled. Plus there was also an invaluable opportunity to learn more about the impact of these materials on the solar panels, which lasted many years longer than they had been budgeted for.
While solar power is prevalent today, it was still a relatively emerging technology in 2003 but these Rovers were saddled with the most advanced technology available. They carried two 8-amp-hour lithium batteries which were able to produce 900 watt-hours of energy per Martian day.
Those solar panels were relatively primitive compared to the technology available today. Future Rovers could use even more advanced solar technology, although NASA has flagged the use of alternative energy sources so they can reach areas the solar-powered options were not able to.
The next big evolutions of solar could come from outer space, though, and some of the data the Rovers were able to send back about the impacts of harsh conditions on solar panels could be invaluable. There is already research underway to work out a way to send solar panels into space, closer to the sun, where they can transmit energy back to earth. Should that be successful, we will have a virtually limitless source of power. | FINEWEB-EDU |

CHEMISTRY
which they tend to take up in the unrestrained carbon atom, and it may be supposed that the extent to which the affinities of the paired carbon atoms are deflected varies according to the nature of their associates. But the deflection would vary only within narrow limits ; consequently, the limits within which the ethenoid “ constant ” may be expected to vary are narrow. In the case of benzenoid compounds a much wider variation may be possible. In discussing their chemical properties, it has already been pointed out that the centric system must be regarded as a plastic group within which considerable variation of the affinity relationships may take place. Physical properties tell the same tale. To give but one or two examples. No property affords a more sensitive test of changes in structure than the refractive power. If the refractive power of the Cg group in benzene be calculated by deducting from the molecular refractive power the value of six hydrogen atoms—hydrogen being supposed to have a constant value in all compounds—and the difference be divided by 6, the value for the carbon atom is very nearly 6. If a similar calculation be made for the methylated homologues of benzene, assigning to CH3 the value that it has in other series, the value for the carbon atom (in the C6 group) is found to increase from 6 in benzene to 6*15 in trimethylbenzene (mesitylene). If a similar calculation be made for aniline, assuming that NIP2 has the value assigned to it in paraffinoid amines (7'7 = 5-l + 2.1'3), a still higher value is obtained for carbon, viz. 6‘3. Whether these variations are to be ascribed solely to variations in the centric system, or whether the associated I'adicles also vary, it is at present impossible to decide ; the question has already been raised in discussing the occurrence of chemical change in the case of benzenoid compounds, and it has been pointed out that there is some reason to suppose that even the CH3 group has special properties in benzenoid hydrocarbons, but the argument is by no means conclusive. With regard to the alteration in physical properties consequent on the introduction of other elements into hydrocarbons, oxygen exercises a greater effect Special perhaps than any other, and one which is espe^of oxygen. cially noticeable in the case of properties which are mainly “ intermolecular ” effects. Thus the introduction of hydroxyl into the paraffins has the effect of converting very slightly viscous compounds of low boiling-point into relatively highly viscous compounds boiling at temperatures far above those at which the parent hydrocarbons are vaporized. There can be little if any doubt that the peculiar physical properties of oxygen compounds are to be correlated with their exceptional chemical activity—that the residual affinity which is possessed by oxygen in most of its compounds in so high a degree, and which conditions the preliminary associations determinative of chemical change, is also operative in causing the fundamental molecules to cling together and form complexes to an extent not met with in compounds of other elements, so that the special peculiarities of oxygen compounds may be ascribed to the oxygen. Whether the properties of the paraffinoid radicle are in any way modified by association with oxygen or other elements is a difficult question to decide. In discussing it geometrical considerations must needs be taken into account. In the normal paraffins and in the corresponding primary alcohols, the carbon atoms are arranged in a branchless chain, but in the secondary alcohols the hydrocarbon radicles have two, and in the tertiary alcohols three branches. The primary alcohols may, therefore, be pictured as simple filaments progressing, it may be, with a wave-like motion. As the hydrocarbon radicle is composed of saturated elements, it may be regarded as practically indifferent to all external attractions, and the
activity of the compound may be located at the oxygenated extremity or head, the hydrocarbon radicle being supposed to oscillate about a mean position relatively to the OH group. In the secondary and tertiary alcohols, in which the filaments are branched, the hydrocarbon radicles are brought into closer proximity with the OH group, and they will also tend to oscillate on one side of the mean position taken up by the primary radicle, unless the constituent groups are of such dimensions as to balance one another. Such differences in structure might alone condition a materially different behaviour of the molecules towards each other, which would be apparent in the viscosity, density, and boiling-point relationships. Optical properties, on the other hand, which are mainly conditioned by intermolecular structure, would be but slightly affected; and chemical properties should not be materially altered. As a matter of fact, considerable differences are noticed on contrasting the chemical behaviour of the lower with that of the higher terms of the series in the case not only of the alcohols, but also of the ketones and acids derived from the paraffins. As there is no reason to suppose that the hydrocarbon radicle undergoes any modification, it may be assumed that the oxygen is the inconstant element; but as only the lowest terms differ to any marked extent, it would seem that when a certain point is reached variation can no longer take place. To draw a rough parallel, the oxygen appears to behave much as if it were connected with the hydrocarbon radicle by a spring which cannot be extended beyond a certain limit; in the lower terms of the series the spring is not fully extended, but the limit is soon reached. Differences such as are observed between phenol, for example, and the paraffinoid alcohol, hexylic alcohol, are of interest from this point of view. Although of lower molecular weight, phenol is a crystalline solid at temperatures at which the alcohol is liquid, and as a liquid it is more viscid than the alcohol. Phenol also manifests weak acid properties, which may be regarded as evidence that the oxygen has some power of attracting bases. It has been shown also that phenol exists in many solutions as a double molecule. On all grounds, therefore, it seems probable that the oxygen in phenol has more residual affinity than that in hexylic alcohol. The great increase in viscosity which attends the introduction of several hydroxyl groups is also corroborative of the argument here used. The extreme viscosity of polyhydric alcohols, such as glycerol, is possibly a consequence of the arrangement of the three oxygen atoms in one plane in such a way as to constitute an “ oxygen surface.” Exact determinations of the viscosity relationships of isomeric asymmetric polyhydric alcohols of known configuration would be of great value as testing a point of this kind. Variations in the physical effects produced by oxygen are particularly apparent in compounds in which oxygen is associated with carbon by two affinities, much in the way that carbon is associated with carbon in ethenoids. Speaking generally, oxygen apparently behaves as though its two affinities took the form of a looped filament, the two ends of which represent its ordinary affinities, and the loop the dependent or residual affinity. The variations it exhibits may then be pictured as “variations in the size of the loop, no secondary point of attachment remaining when it is reduced to a mere knot. A factor of the highest importance, which in many cases conditions striking physical peculiarities, remains to be referred to, viz., that of co-operative action. If the ^ heat of formation of chlorinated paraffinoid com- ‘o‘£°’tjve pounds be calculated from the heats of combus- effect.” tion, it appears, as J. Thomsen has pointed out,. that on an average about 13,500 gram. deg. C. units of heat are developed in the fixation of a single atomic proportion ol | WIKI |

In his youth observing the river without one thought that he might some day translate it into art, he had had no bias and no self-consciousness. Now he could go back in his imagination to a world seen round and whole, as men of action see their worlds. He remembered a thousand hard actualities of those elder circumstances. He remembered the dialect, the costume, the amphibious river men, "half horse half alligator" as the ancient phrase had it, the savagery, the danger, the ardors of the pilot's calling, the thick, stirring panorama of that epoch. He remembered, too, the glamor of those days, the dreams of adventure, the mystery of black nights, the glory of dawn over the yellow water when the atmosphere was full of the songs of invisible birds. And winding through all his memories, like the Mississippi winding through its continent, went the great, muddy, mysterious river which had stirred his imagination for nearly half a century.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer took Mark Twain from epic to comedy. He first planned it as a play and when he decided upon another form for it he had in mind to write a story of boyhood which, like Aldrich's Story of a Bad Boy, should emphatically depart from the customary type of Sunday school fiction. But its departure from a type is one of the least memorable aspects of Tom Sawyer.

Hello
So, i just ran into a huge issue when i was writing on my story (which is becoming quite big at this). The problem was being extremely illusive and didn't make a whole lot of sense to me, so i thought it would be a smart idea to do a rollback and then try to copy+paste my new code into an older version of my project (one of many, which i constantly keep handy in case something would go wrong).
However, as i imported an older version of my project that i had exported, i was prompted with the message that stated this
"Some stories you are importing already exist in your library. Please choose which to replace. Any other stories in your file will be imported as well."
I was obviously not interested in replacing my work that i had just done, so i clicked the button that explicitly stated this "Don't Replace Any Stories".
And at first, it appeared i had two stories with the same name, however when i entered the newly imported older version, it for some reason instantly deleted (as in, it's not showing up in twine nor the library) the new and bugged version of my project, which deleted at least +6 hours of work.
Now that is pretty sad in itself, but it could have been much much worse.
Is there any way to retrieve the deleted story? I have no clue where to look.
Also, is there any plans on making Twine more forgiving when it comes to deleting in general? Ctrl + Z doesn't work either.
Thanks

Bugs found while using the Twine 2.x application should be reported on the Issues page of the application's repository, because there is no guaranty that the Twine 2 developers will see a question on this Q.A site.
Any suggestions on how to improve or extend the the functionality of the Twine 2 application should be made on the same Issues page, but please use a separate Issue to the one that reports a bug as this helps the developers track bugs & enhancements separately.
RE: Recovering a particular version of a story project.
Did you use the Publish to File option to create a story HTML file based on the latest version of your project?
Did you use the Archive option to backup your story projects before you did the 'import' that corrupted your later version project?
If the answer to either of the above is Yes, then you could possible use either of the above HTML files to recover the later version of your project.
I strongly suggest using the Archive option to make regular backups of your projects, and to especially use it before any process (like importing) that effects the contents of one or more projects.
commented by (500 points)
I have not looked into using the Archive option, but maybe i should now. I only used the Publish to File option, which is how i tried to do the rollback (and how the new version got replaced).
I still have the story, its just that a lot of code from the newest version of the project went into thin air and dissapeared.
I suspect that the error/bug arises from the fact that when importing a new story with the same name as an existing one, it auto-replaces the other story without renaming the newly imported story when you press "Don't Replace Any Stories".
I'll report it as a bug on their issues page then, thanks.

User:Oceanflynn/sandbox/Lobbying Act (Canada)
Delete this sandbox article on July 23, 2022 if the main page article Lobbying Act (Canada) is stable. The An Act respecting lobbying (full title: An Act respecting lobbying) is an Act of the Parliament of Canada which regulates lobbying of public office holders. The Act has been amended many times over Canada's history.
The office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of Canada is an independent Agent of Parliament responsible for administering the Lobbying Act and the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct (the Code) to ensure that the process is both transparent and ethical. On July 2, 2008 the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct (the Code) requirement that all lobbyists register under the Lobbying Act, came into force. The Office maintains a searchable, self-reported lobbyists' registry, provides education, and verifies compliance. Each fiscal year the Commissioner submits an annual report to the Parliament of Canada on the administration of the Act.
The Lobbying Act gives the Commissioner of Lobbying the authority to develop, administer, and update the Code. The first version of the Code, which came into effect on March 1, 1997, was updated in 2015 following consultation with the public. On November 7, 2015, the Code was published in the Canada Gazette after it was reviewed by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics in the spring of 2015. This revised version came into force on December 1, 2015.
The Office of the Commissioner replaced the Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists.
Sections of the Lobbying Act
Under section 11 of of the Lobbying Act, the Commissioner must prepare and submit an annual report on the administration of the Act within three months after the end of each fiscal year and submit it to the Speaker of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Commons.
Sections 5 and 7 provide details on requirements of individual lobbyists to register or be listed.
Public office holders
Under the Lobbying Act public office holders include members, staff and employees of various bodies, agencies, and departments, such as the House of Commons, the Canadian Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, federal ministers, and Governor in Council appointees.
Lobbyists registrars and commissioners network (LRCN)
In Canada, the Lobbyists registrars and commissioners network (LRCN) includes the federal Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying as well as some provincial and municipal offices and agencies. As of 2020, participating provinces, territories and municipalities included Alberta's Lobbyist Registry, Office of the Ethics Commissioner, British Columbia's Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists. Manitoba's Office of the Lobbyist Registrar, New Brunswick's Office of the Integrity Commissioner, Newfoundland and Labrador's Commissioner of Lobbyists, Nova Scotia's Registry of Lobbyists, Ontario's Office of the Integrity Commissioner, Prince Edward Island's Lobbyists Registry, Saskatchewan's Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists, Québec's Commissioner of Lobbying, the Yukon's Registry of lobby and the Conflict of Interest Commissioner, the Municipal City of Ottawa's Lobbyist Registry, and the City of Toronto's Office of the Lobbyist Registrar.

The problem with Bullseye was the 64-bit kernel.
The configure script was using uname -m as the build platform, but
Bullseye on RPi uses a 64-bit kernel (aarch64 uname -m) with a 32-bit
userland (arm gcc build host), which resulted in a lot of bad decsions
around JIT stuff.
With this change, we explicitly pass the build/host/target values as
taken from the compilers in question, which fixes the issue for Bullseye

Salvatore Maria di Blasi
Salvatore Maria Di Blasi (26 December 1719 – 28 April 1814) was an Italian Benedictine monk, scholar, and librarian.
Biography
He was born in Palermo to an aristocratic family. His brother was the erudite Giovanni Evangelista di Blasi. Salvatore studied in seminary, becoming a monk in the Monastery of San Martino alle Scale in Palermo. In 1747, Salvatore founded a scholarly academy, furthered by Giuseppe Antonio de Requesens, Benedictine prior of San Carlo and bishop of Siracusa. He reorganized the library of the San Martino monastery. In 1778, he was called to the Abbey of the Santissima Trinità di Cava, near Salerno, to organize the monastery's important and ancient archive and library. He organized the library that included nearly 60,000 manuscripts including the Dictionarium Cavense compiled by Agostino Venieri between 1595 and 1599. Salvatore wrote a history of the Monastery of San Benedetto di Salerno from its foundation in 793 until 1628. He also wrote Series Principum qui Langobardorum aetate Salerni imperarunt... a vulgari anno 840 ad annum 1077. In Catani, he organized the archive of the monastery of San Nicola l'Arena. Di Blasi made two trips through Italy, the first in 1754, the second in 1778, where he met and later communicated by missive with intellectual throughout the Italian peninsula including Girolamo Tiraboschi, Paolo Maria Paciaudi, Jacopo Facciolati, Giovanni Battista Passeri, and Anton Francesco Gori. Di Blasi died in Palermo. | WIKI |

How to enlarge more space for my openwrt to use?
When you dd the image to the disk, it places a pre-set partition table which only has 250 MB for root regardless of the actual size of the disk. It will also wipe out any existing partitions on the disk.
Using the ext4 build, you can use standard tools to expand the sdx2 partition (containing the ext4 root filesystem) to the full size of the disk. This is easiest to do by running a separate OS such as gparted live usb to alter the OpenWrt disk while it is not running OpenWrt.
If you're using the disk space mostly for shared files, create a third partition for data instead of putting all the shared files into the same rootfs. This makes upgrading OpenWrt easier. I think that later versions of sysupgrade will not affect the data partition.

Solved.
Boot into debian.(three os installed in my old pc:debian,win10,openwrt), call gparted,and resize the partition /dev/sdb1.
In menu, partition-check after selecting /dev/sdb1,then execute.
sure if your data is on /boot and taking any EFI etc. size limits into consideration...
otherwise you'd be wanting to;
athough
really is good advice...
it is always better to create additional partitions, so you can safely sysupgrade the system.
if you put them also on GPT then you can ran gdisk and will inform to recover the mbr one to gpt and you will skip manually configuring it.
you can configure opkg to install packages on data partition, etc...

What Is Petrophysics Consultant?
A Petrophysics Consultant is a professional engineer who works with petroleum companies to help them find and recover oil and natural gas reserves. This includes researching and developing technologies to aid in the search for new hydrocarbons, as well as assisting in the development of existing reservoirs.
What Is Petrophysics?
Petrophysicists use rock physics to explain a rock's hydrocarbon-bearing properties, such as porosity, permeability, and water content. This information helps the team identify the type of formation and the most efficient drilling methods for extracting hydrocarbons from it.
Integrated Log Analysis and Reservoir Evaluation
The petrophysics discipline emphasizes the acquisition, integration, and evaluation of core and log data. This can involve travel to the wellsite, or using remote logs obtained from near-wellbore regions.
Generally, a petrophysicist participates in the drilling stage, observing rock chips and cuttings brought to the surface by the drilling mud, recording shows at the borehole for all lithological and stratigraphic intervals. This is accomplished with a logging-while-drilling (LWD) program designed by the petrophysicist, or by wireline logging.
Petrophysical Data Integration and Renewable Energy
The petrophysicist's job is to integrate petrophysical and reservoir engineering data from different disciplines, such as geology, geophysics, and engineering, to develop a complete picture of the formation. This involves a systematic, logical approach to data acquisition and evaluation.
In this regard, a petrophysicist uses the concept of a Shared Earth Model to describe and interpret the formation's hydrocarbon-bearing properties. This concept can be useful for identifying the most economically-viable development option, and it also makes for an efficient, economical, and accurate petrophysical method of reservoir evaluation.
Specialized in Unconventional Reservoirs
Some of the most challenging reservoirs in the world are those characterized by deepwater presalts, ultratight rock, thin-bed coalseams, and gas hydrates. These complex geological and petrophysical challenges have led to a revolution in petrophysics interpretation and formation evaluation.
This has included the application of petrophysical data to reservoir engineering, including modeling of fluid flow and permeability. It has also led to the development of techniques for stimulating production from unconventional reservoirs, such as tight gas and oil sands.
This has involved the integration of petrophysical and reservoir engineering data from various disciplines, such as geology, geophysics, engineering, and simulation.

Nevada State Capitol
The Nevada State Capitol is the capitol building of the U.S. state of Nevada located in the state capital of Carson City at 101 North Carson Street. The building was constructed in the Neoclassical Italianate style between 1869 and 1871. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is also Nevada Historical Marker number 25.
Construction
Abraham Curry, the founder of Carson City, reserved an area equivalent to four city blocks (10 acres or 4.04 ha) at the center of the town for the future state capitol. When the Capitol building was constructed, it was naturally located on "the plaza", which had, some ten or eleven years earlier, been designated for it, and given for that purpose. Mark Twain wrote in his book Roughing It that the capitol site was in 1861 "a large, unfenced, level vacancy, with a liberty pole in it, and very useful as a place for public auctions, horse trades, mass meetings, and likewise for teamsters to camp in."
The "act to provide for the erection of a State Capitol" was passed by the Nevada Legislature and signed into law by Governor Henry G. Blasdel during 1869. The Board of Capitol Commissioners received bids of $84,000 to $160,000 for construction and they chose the lowest bid, submitted by Peter Cavanaugh and Son of Carson City. The 1869 act authorized $100,000 for construction, with money to come from a special tax levy, plus the proceeds from the sale of some public land. To reduce costs, the building sandstone was obtained free of charge from the Nevada State Prison quarry, just outside Carson City. In spite of this, the construction costs increased to some $170,000, exceeding even the high bid.
The cornerstone was laid on June 9, 1870. A brass box that served as a time capsule was deposited in the stone. The cornerstone was a solid block of sandstone, laid on top of blocks which contained the capsule. The capsule was inspected and returned to the cornerstone location (the northeast corner of the original building) during reconstruction in the 1979–81 period.
The fourth session of the state legislature met in the still-incomplete building at the beginning of 1871. Construction was completed by May 1, 1871. Several of the architect's original drawings are preserved in the state archives.
Architecture
The original building was cruciform, with a central rectangle 76 ft wide by 85 ft deep (23 x 25.8 m). It had two wings, each 35 ft wide by 52 ft deep (10.6 x 15.8 m). The windows' glass panes are made of 26-ounce (737 g) French crystal, as are those above the doors. Floors and wainscotting are of Alaskan marble, shipped to San Francisco in 20-ton (18,144 kg) blocks and there cut and polished for installation.
The first floor contained a major office at each corner connected by central halls, while the wings of the second floor were filled by the two legislative chambers—the Assembly and the Senate. The octagonal dome topped with a cupola admitted light to the second story. During 1906, an octagonal Annex was added to the rear (east) of the capitol to house the State Library.
By the early 20th century, the legislature had outgrown the capitol, and prominent Nevada architect Frederic DeLongchamps was contracted to design northern and southern legislative wing-annexes, completed in time for the 1915 session. These compatible wings used stone from the same quarry as the original portion of the capitol, and provided more office space and expanded legislative chambers.
Artwork and exhibits
A painted frieze in hallways of the first floor celebrates industry in Nevada, listing agricultural products and minerals found in Nevada mines. A vault door in the office of the Secretary of State of Nevada is painted with a scene of Lake Tahoe. Portraits of all governors of Nevada hang throughout the building.
Near the office of the Nevada Commission for Women, a display named Silver State Sisters documents about 100 individuals (mostly women) who have contributed to Nevada history — such as Barbara Vucanovich, Bernice Mathews, and Wild Horse Annie — and groups of women, such as the first non-segregated showgirls at the Moulin Rouge Hotel.
Artifacts of Nevada history on display include Paiute crafts and a section of the rope used to hang the man convicted of the murder of folk heroine Julia Bulette.
Usage
For more than 50 years, all three parts of the state government were housed in the Capitol. The Supreme Court met here until 1937, when it relocated into an adjacent building, and the Nevada Legislature met here until 1971, when it relocated to its new Legislative Building just south of the Capitol. Every Nevada governor except the first has had his office in the capitol. Nowadays, the Capitol continues to serve the Governor, and contains historical exhibits on the second floor. | WIKI |
Gaussian prime
A Gaussian primeMathworldPlanetmath p is a Gaussian integerMathworldPlanetmath a+bi (where i is the imaginary unitMathworldPlanetmath and a and b are real integers) that is divisible only by the units 1, -1, i and -i, itself, its associates and no others. For example, 3+20i is a Gaussian prime because there is no pair of Gaussian integers (besides the units and associates) that multiply to 3+20i. But 3+21i is not a Gaussian prime because 3(-i)(1+i)(1+2i)2=3+21i. If a+bi is prime then so are a-bi, -a+bi and -a-bi, as well as the associates b+ai, b-ai, b-ai and -b-ai.
The real and the imaginary partsMathworldPlanetmath must be of different parity. For a real prime to be a Gaussian prime of the form p+0i, the real part has to be of the form p=4n-1; the same goes for the associates 0+pi. It follows from Fermat’s theorem on sums of two squares (http://planetmath.org/RepresentingPrimesAsX2ny2) that since real primes of the form p=4n+1 can be represented as x2+y2, then in the complex plane they have the factorization (x+yi)(x-yi). For example, 17=42+12, so (4+i)(4-i)=17.
Sometimes Gaussian primes are simply called “complex primes,” which is an incorrect term found in some of the older literature.

James FitzGerald, 6th Earl of Desmond
James FitzGerald, 6th Earl of Desmond (d. 1462), called 'the Usurper', was a younger son of Gerald FitzGerald, 3rd Earl of Desmond, and Lady Eleanor, daughter of James Butler, 2nd Earl of Ormond.
Life
The younger brother of John FitzGerald, 4th Earl of Desmond, James was uncle to the 4th Earl's only son Thomas FitzGerald, 5th Earl of Desmond, whom he was able to deprive of his earldom and dispossess in 1418 for marrying far below his station. The marriage between a man of Norman ancestry and a woman of Gaelic blood was in violation of the Statutes of Kilkenny. James FitzGerald took a leading role in forcing his nephew into exile in France where he died at Rouen two years later.
Although not acknowledged until 1422, he was in 1420 made Seneschal of Imokilly, Inchiquin, and the town of Youghal, by James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormond. Also in 1420, he founded the Franciscan friary at Askeaton Abbey.
In 1423 he was made Constable of Limerick for life. In 1445 he was excused attendance at Parliament. Along with his son-in-law Thomas FitzGerald, 7th Earl of Kildare, James was a prominent Irish supporter of the House of York.
He was also godfather to George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence.
Dying in 1462 or 1463, Desmond was buried at the Franciscan friary in Youghal.
Marriage and issue
James married Mary, daughter of William de Burgh, and they had issue two sons: and two daughters:
* 1) Thomas FitzGerald, 7th Earl of Desmond
* 2) Sir Gerald Mor FitzGerald, ancestor of the FitzGerald Lords of Decies of County Waterford
* 1) Honor, married Thomas Fitzmaurice., Lord of Kerry
* 2) Joan/Jane, married Thomas FitzGerald, 7th Earl of Kildare | WIKI |
Responsive Design
Website-Navigation at its Best - Responsive Design revolutionizes Navigation!
A well-structured and -designed navigation is the most important requirement for the usability of a website. It leads the user to relevant areas and indicates its locations. With the marching in of responsive web design now, many new navigation patterns are possible and thus solve old principles and standards for design development.
A navigation concept for a website should always be coherent and designed uniform across the individual pages. This not only facilitates navigation for visitors, but also pays off on SEO due to a better indexing. As a designer, you should pay attention to intelligible menu items. Use of navigation should be simple and intuitive. Therefore, for example, a user generally understands that in case she or he´d click on the logo of the company, one is re-directed to the starting page.
With the invention of mobile and responsive web design designers now face new challenges in terms of design. The classic case is the "toggled navigation". She is the navigation most used on mobile websites. It is the most often used navigation bar at the top of the site. Here a bar is positioned at the top of the site. This is equipped with a button element, which can extend the navigation when operating. Bootstrap is well suited for this, because the framework comes up with such a navigation solution.
Multi Toggle" is perfect for complex navigation structures. This solution so to say is a collection of nested accordions. Once the user taps on the main navigation, the sub-categories open up. With this approach in a small website area, many navigational elements can get accumulated. The "Mega Dropdown" works the same way as the Toggled Navigation. The difference here is that in addition to text links one can also integrate icons, pictures or a combination out of both. "Slide Navigation" is the infinite design pattern. Here categories are split on several levels and browsed through additional controls or swipes.
Whether classic Toggled Navigation or chic and sophisticated Slide Navigation - the designers are offered a variety of options. Responsive web design softens the boundaries between mobile and desktop. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Talk:Tetrarchy
Grammar
{by naming two "Junior Emperors", or Caesari,} I can't follow the grammar here -- why "Caesari" ? I would have expected "Caesaribus", or "Caesares".
* The correct plural form would be "Caesares," but I have changed it to "Caesar" in the text; two Caesares under each Augustus would have made it a hexarchy instead of a tetrarchy. Flauto Dolce 23:48, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)
In addition the convention would be to put Latin in italics. So the Latin plural would written Caesares and the English plural would be written Caesars. Ashleyvh 09:21, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Revised article
I thought the old Tetrarchy article looked like it could do with some touching up. I've defined 'Tetrarchy' specifically as the Roman system of government which was introduced by Diocletian (since that's the best known Tetrarchy), and appended the other known tetrarchies in a little section at the bottom. Is the Tetrarch page redundant? Is it worth making a disambig page for other tetrarchies or is it sufficient just to have them appended here?
Just one little thing, the location of SIRMIUM, one of the four capitals. You wrote "the SLAVONIAN region of modern Serbia". Slavonia is in Croatia, and the Serbian region you are talking about (where Sirmium is located) is called SREM.
* This question may be a bit old now, but for what it's worth, yes, I think some kind of disambiguation for other tetrarchies would be good, if only because the page Tetrarch, which discusses the office in general, ends up here, which is about a particular case. And no, I don't think the Tetrarch page is redundant, for the same reason.Swanny18 15:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
* PS I've deleted the word 'unstable' to describe the Jewish Tetrarchy; it lasted twice as long as the Roman one, and the transition of power was far less messy, so I think describing it thus is unjustified in this context. Swanny18 15:43, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
"Quadrumvirate"
Who introduced that term? "Tetrarchy" is a "modern" (i.e. not from antiquity) term to describe that system of government; as far as I know, no one ever uses the Latin word, which isn't even attested (neither for the Diocletianic nor for the other examples of a tetrarchy). I'd suggest removing the reference and possibly the Redirect, too. Varana 19:28, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
Hispaniae Under Diocletian's Early Tetrarchy
I have noticed that Hispania appears as part of Maximian's Territory in the map at the top of the page ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Tetrarchy_map3.jpg ).
Yet, further down, on the timeline, Hispaniae is listed as Constantius' territory.
Could someone explain when Hispania transferred over from Maximian to Constantius?

No. It would make the daemon considerably more complex to provide a
synchronous mode of operation, especially since all backends *must not*
be synchronous. All backends will work using an asynchronous mode, that
will be expressed in the over-the-wire interface with the daemon, and
wrapping that interface into a synchronous mode will *not* cause any
significant loss of efficiency.
In fact, it should be no less efficient than the basic wrapper around
the IPC mechanism itself, which is something you absolutely must have no
matter what in order to ensure correct processing of the protocol.
There's nothing to be gained by making the server or protocol have
special support for synchronous operation, nothing at all. You'd just
end up with two sets of protocol definitions and daemon APIs to do the
exact same thing with pretty much the exact same overhead and
client-side behavior.

Analytic torsion and the arithmetic Todd genus. (With an appendix by D. Zagier). (English) Zbl 0787.14005
The aim of this article is to state a conjectural Grothendieck-Riemann- Roch theorem for metrized bundles on arithmetic varieties, which would extend the known results of Arakelov, Faltings and Deligne in the case of arithmetic surfaces. Let \(X\) be an arithmetic variety (i.e. a regular scheme, quasi-projective and flat over \(\mathbb{Z}\)). In a previous paper [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Etud. Sci. 72, 93-174 (1990; Zbl 0741.14012)] we defined arithmetic Chow groups \(\widehat{CH}^ p(X)\) for every integer \(p\geq 0\), generated by pairs of cycles and “Green currents” (log. cit.). We showed that these groups have basically the same formal properties as the classical Chow groups. They are covariant for proper maps (with a degree shift). In Ann. Math., II. Ser. 131, No. 1, 163-203 (1990; Zbl 0715.14018) and No. 2, 205-238 (1990; Zbl 0715.14006)], we attached to any algebraic vector bundle \(E\) on \(X\), endowed with a hermitian metric \(h\) on the associated holomorphic vector bundle, characteristic classes \(\widehat{\phi}(E,h) \in \bigoplus_{p\geq 0}\widehat{CH}^ p(X) \otimes \mathbb{Q} = \widehat{CH}(X)_ \mathbb{Q}\), for every symmetric power series \(\phi(T_ 1,\dots,T_{rk(E)})\) with coefficients in \(\mathbb{Q}\). For instance we have Chern characters \(\widehat{ch}(E,h) \in \widehat{CH}(X)_ \mathbb{Q}\). We also introduced in the Ann. Math. paper (loc. cit.) a group \(\widehat{K}_ 0(X)\) of virtual hermitian vector bundles on \(X\) and extended \(\widehat{ch}\) to \(\widehat{K}_ 0(X)\).
To state a Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem one still needs two notions. First, given a smooth projective morphism \(f: X\to Y\) between arithmetic varieties, one needs a direct image morphism \(f_ !: \widehat{K}_ 0(X) \to \widehat{K}_ 0(Y)\). Given \((E,h)\) on \(X\), to get the determinant of \(f_ !(E,h)\) amounts to defining a metric on the determinant of the cohomology of \(E\) (on the fibers of \(f\)). This question was solved by Quillen using the Ray-Singer analytic torsion. In §3 we define higher analogs of the Ray-Singer analytic torsion and get a reasonable definition of \(f_ !\) (this is a variant of ideas from our joint work with J.-M. Bismut).
The second question we have to ask is what will play the role of the Todd genus. For this we proceed in a way familiar to algebraic geometry, namely we compute both sides of the putative Riemann-Roch formula for the trivial line bundle on the projective spaces \(\mathbb{P}^ n\) over \(\mathbb{Z}\), \(n\geq 1\). This normalizes the arithmetic Todd genus uniquely.
The paper is organized as follows. In §1 we define Quillen’s metric on the determinant of cohomology, recall the definitions from our papers cited above, and define the arithmetic Todd genus. We then give a conjecture computing the Quillen metric (1.3). The holomorphic variation of this equality is known to be true (section 1.4). When specialized to the moduli space of curves of a given genus, the conjecture 1.3 gives the value of some unknown constants in string theory (1.5). – In §2 we prove conjecture 1.3 for the trivial line bundle on \(\mathbb{P}^ n\) (theorem 2.1.1) by reduction to an identity of Zagier. In §3 we define higher analytic torsion using results of our joint paper with J.-M. Bismut [Commun. Math. Phys. 115, No. 1, 79-126 (1988; Zbl 0651.32017)], compute its holomorphic variation (3.1) and define the map \(f_ !\) (3.2). We then conjecture a general arithmetic Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch identity (3.3) the holomorphic variation of which holds.

How Do Muscles Grow? Toned Versus Bulky, and High Reps vs. Low Reps
There are myths circulating about how to look “toned”, which is the most common body type most people strive for. They see the functional, sleek build of a good swimmer or fighter and wish they were there. They try to avoid the “bulky” look of professional powerlifters and bodybuilders, and thus, get scared of lifting heavy.
On the other side of the coin, you have guys who want to get bigger, stronger, and leaner. They hear that high reps do absolutely nothing for strength or size, and that heavy lifting is the way to go, period. They look down upon everyone using bodyweight or smaller weights because, they feel, they will never see results with such wimpy exercises.
I want to examine both of these ideologies with some practical science. Today, you’ll learn the way muscle cell recruitment works, and how understanding the function debunks both myths.
How Do Muscles Grow?
Here’s the question a trainee asked me:
How do the muscles grow under a high intensity workout? I thought that high intensity/high rep meant you get stronger and that higher weight was how you got bigger.”
In any strength movement, you lift a weight. It doesn’t matter if the weight is iron or yourself: a weight is weight.
Moving any weight requires our muscles to twitch. The heavier something is, the faster our muscles must twitch.
Evolution has given us a cool trait. We actually have 3 types of muscle fibers. Some are better at twitching slowly, but continuously. These have more “endurance” for lower weight. Other fibers twitch really fast. They have more “strength” for higher weight, but get tired quicker.
There’s 3 fibers to know about: Type I, Type IIA, and Type IIB.
When you lift heavy, the “lower threshold fibers” are recruited first. These are the slower-twitch (and thus, “weaker”) Type I fibers. If the weight is not lifted, then the next set of fibers are recruited (Type IIA). If it still hasn’t been lifted, then the next set are recruited (Type IIB).
Type IIA and IIB fibers act at a higher threshold than the Type I – meaning they fire AFTER Type I cannot handle a weight alone. Now, also recognize that Type I fibers, while lifting weight, can fatigue further as Type II fibers are twitching. Which means Type II fibers are recruited as compensation of Type I failure.
We assumed that the weight had been lifted at this point. But wait! What happens if all your fibers are recruited, but the weight has not been lifted? If you thought, “Well, you fail the lift because it’s too heavy!”, then you’re wrong!
You don’t simply “fail” at this point. Instead, muscle realizes it must increase the amount of force produced. It begins to twitch even faster to develop more force. THIS happens until “maximum rate coding” is hit, where you’ve either lifted the weight, or you’ve entirely failed.
Ever wonder why you shake when under those final, difficult reps? That would be your muscles twitching with all their might to adapt.
So What’s Best: High Reps/Low Weight Or Low Reps/High Weight?
Now you know how muscle works. It progressively uses faster twitching fibers until it successfully moves something. If it does not move something, it’ll start firing even faster to do so. If even that fails, it fails to lift a weight.
So how does this relate to getting stronger or better looking?
Above is physiological evidence that training to concentric failure – or at least very close to it – is good for maximally activating muscle. And by training near concentric failure – forcing near-max recruitment of all muscle, until the point of exhaustion – you force a muscular adaptation and the signal to repair and grow new muscle under imposed demands.
So back to high reps and lower weight, versus lower reps and high weight. The truth is that you can recruit all your fibers by either making the load heavy enough to prompt recruitment (low reps, high weight), or you can fatigue your lower end fibers to force Type II fibers to work (high reps, low weight). As long as you hit concentric failure, your body will want to grow more muscle (signaled by the fatigue) and increase its strength (due to both new muscle growth and better access to “maximum rate coding” per unit of muscle, aka strength by better/more neuronal firing).
Whichever works best for you will be personal preference. Some find the intensity of heavy weights scary. Others find that they don’t possess the grit to push through shaky near-failure sets of high-rep bodyweight exercises. The choice is up to you.
Also consider that, physiologically speaking, high reps with lower weight will more easily exhaust Type I fibers, making it more likely to result in muscular endurance, but the psychological intensity of near-failure reps may prevent newer trainees from adequately exhausting Type II fibers. Low reps with higher weight will more quickly exhaust Type II fibers, making it more likely to result in strength gains, to the possible detriment of your Type I fibers (they still fire, but are not as easily exhausted as they would be in high rep protocols as they are underutilized by unit of time).
Any ideal training program will include aspects of both heavy lifting and high rep lifting to cover all bases and optimize growth. But there’s no harm in choosing one over the other for the bulk of a program.
Now that you know how muscle actually grows, look at your program. Are you hitting concentric muscle failure, or getting really close to it? If not (and your goal is to get both stronger and more muscular/lean), you might not be putting in enough intensity to grow. Every workout, you should approach concentric failure to efficiently exhaust your muscle fibers. This ensures the response from your body to adapt and grow stronger.
So now that you know the truth, how will your program change (if at all)? Let me know in the comments below. And if you want to be the cool kid on the block, please spread the message to destroy these strange workout myths.

The Moon may have water resources in its soil
Apart from signs of water ice in permanently shadowed areas of some polar craters, the Moon’s surface has generally been considered to be very dry. Rocks returned by the various Apollo missions contain minute traces of water by comparison with similar rocks on Earth. They consist only of anhydrous minerals such as feldspars, pyroxenes and olivines. But much of the lunar surface is coated by regolith: a jumble of rock fragments and dust ejected from a vast number of impact craters over billions of years. It is estimated to be between 3 and 12 m deep. Much of the finer grained regolith is made up of silicate-glass spherules created by the most powerful impacts.
The lunar regolith at Tranquillity Base bearing an astronaut’s bootprint (Credit: Buzz Aldrin, NASA Apollo 11, Photo ID AS11-40-5877)
The scientific and economic (i.e. mining) impetus for the establishment of long term human habitation on the lunar surface hangs on the possibility of extracting water from the Moon itself. It is needed for human consumption and as a source through electrolysis of both oxygen and hydrogen for breathing and also for rocket fuel. The stupendous cost, in both monetary and energy terms, of shifting mass from Earth to the Moon clearly demands self-sufficiency in water for a lunar base occupied for more than a few weeks.
Remote sensing that focussed on the ability of water molecules and hydroxyl (OH) ions to absorb solar radiation with a wavelength of 2.8 to 3.0 micrometres was deployed by the Indian lunar orbiter Chandrayaan-1 that collected data for several months in 2008-9. The results suggested that OH and H2O were detectable over a large proportion of the lunar surface at concentrations estimated at between 10 parts per million (ppm) up to about 0.1%. Where did these hydroxyl ions and water molecules come from and what had locked them up? There are several possibilities for their origin: volcanic activity that tapped the Moon’s mantle (magma could not have formed had some water not been present at great depths); impacts of icy bodies such as comets; even the solar wind that carries protons, i.e. hydrogen atoms stripped of their electrons. Conceivably, protons could react with oxygen in silicate material at the surface to produce both OH and H2O to be locked within solid particles. To assess the possibilities a group of researchers at Chinese and British institutions have examined in detail the 1.7 kg of lunar-surface materials collected and returned to Earth by the 2020 Chinese Chang’e 5 lunar sample return mission (He, H. and 27 others 2023. A solar wind-derived water reservoir on the Moon hosted by impact glass beads. Nature Geoscience, online article; DOI: 10.1038/s41561-023-01159-6)
He et al. focussed on glass spherules formed by impact melting of lunar basalts, whose bulk composition they retain. The glass ‘beads’ contain up to 0.2 % water, mainly concentrated in their outermost parts. This alone suggests that the water and hydroxyl ions were formed by spherules being bathed in the solar wind rather than being of volcanic or cometary origin and trapped in the glass. An abnormally low proportion of deuterium (2H) relative to the more abundant 1H isotope of hydrogen in the spherules is consistent with that hypothesis. Indeed, the high temperatures involved in impact melting would be expected to have driven out any ‘indigenous’ water in the source rocks. The water and OH ions seem to have built up over time, diffusing into the glass from their surfaces rather than gradually escaping from within.
An awful lot of regolith coats the lunar surface, as many of the images taken by the Apollo astronauts amply show. So how much water might be available from the lunar regolith? The Chinese-British team reckon between 3.0 × 108 to 3.0 × 1011 metric tons. But how much can feasibly be extracted at a lunar base camp? The data suggest that a cubic metre (~2 t) of regolith could yield enough to fill 4 shot glasses (~0.13 litres). Using a solar furnace and a condenser – the one in full sunlight the other in the shade – is not, as they say, ‘rocket science’. But for a minimum 3 litres per day intake of fluids per person, a team of 4 astronauts would need to shift and process roughly 100 m3 of regolith every day. Over a year, this would produce a substantial pit. But that assumes all the regolith contains some water, yet the data are derived from the surface alone …See also:Glass beads on moon’s surface may hold billions of tonnes of water, scientists say. The Guardian, 27 March 2023.

Spheroidal weathering of lavas, easily confused with pillows, is also found in other homogeneous igneous rocks. It develops from rectilinear joint sets along which the groundwater responsible for breakdown of silicates initially moves. Hydration reactions begin along the joints but proceed most quickly at corners so that curved surfaces begin to develop. The concentric banding that sometimes culminates in almost spherical relics may involve more than just rotting of anhydrous silicates as the reactions involve volume increases that encourage further rock fracturing. Other factors, such as elastic strain release may also encourage the characteristic concentricity Prolonged, intense chemical weathering leaves isolated, rounded corestones surrounded by saprolite, that can form boulder fields when the softer weathered material has been eroded away. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Bumzu
Kye Beom-ju (Hangul: 계범주, born November 8, 1991), better known by the stage name Bumzu (Hangul: 범주), is a South Korean singer, songwriter, and record producer. Bumzu is best known for writing and producing much of the discographies of boy bands NU'EST and Seventeen.
In 2024, he was the recipient of KOMCA's Grand Prize, having been the highest-earning songwriter for K-pop in 2023.
Biography and career
Bumzu grew up in Seoul, and learned the violin as a child. By the age of high school, he became active in Hongdae's underground music scene. His first mainstream work was composing for H.O.T's Jang Woo-hyuk's "Don't Go, Go Away" in 2011. He then participated in the singing competition show Superstar K 4 at the age of 22, which has been noted as his big break.
Following the show, he began producing songs for Pledis artists including After School and Nu'est, and has produced songs alongside Woozi for Seventeen since their debut song "Adore U". Bumzu and Woozi's studio, "Universe Factory", is named after a portmanteau of their names in Korean – 우주 (woozi/bumju; wooju) literally meaning "universe".

1996 United States presidential election in Nevada
The 1996 United States presidential election in Nevada took place on November 5, 1996, as part of the 1996 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
A swing state, Nevada was narrowly won by incumbent Democratic President Bill Clinton. Clinton took a 43.93% plurality of the popular vote over Republican challenger Bob Dole, who took 42.91%, a victory margin of 1.02%. Reform Party candidate Ross Perot finished in third, with 9.47% of the popular vote.
, this is the last presidential election in which any candidate won Nevada without carrying Washoe County, and the last time Mineral County voted Democratic. Clinton became the first Democrat to win the White House without carrying White Pine County since Grover Cleveland in 1892.

Single-molecule vibrational spectroscopy and microscopy
Science. 1998 Jun 12;280(5370):1732-5. doi: 10.1126/science.280.5370.1732.
Abstract
Vibrational spectra for a single molecule adsorbed on a solid surface have been obtained with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Inelastic electron tunneling spectra for an isolated acetylene (C2H2) molecule adsorbed on the copper (100) surface showed an increase in the tunneling conductance at 358 millivolts, resulting from excitation of the C-H stretch mode. An isotopic shift to 266 millivolts was observed for deuterated acetylene (C2D2). Vibrational microscopy from spatial imaging of the inelastic tunneling channels yielded additional data to further distinguish and characterize the two isotopes. Single-molecule vibrational analysis should lead to better understanding and control of surface chemistry at the atomic level. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Is It Safe To Shut Down During Chkdsk?
Can running chkdsk cause problems?
CHKDSK is able to check your drives for errors.
Yet, if misused, it will cause unrecoverable damage to your drives.
Windows has a native disk repair tool – CHKDSK, which is really robust to detect bad sectors and fix disk errors.
However, it may result in some troubles and risks when it is misused in some cases..
How often should you run chkdsk?
Disk check should be done once every three months. Even though Windows notifies you when there is an error, most of the time it only has an error with the boot file. There is still a possibility of bad sectors on your hard drive, that Windows does not actually notify you about.
What are the options for chkdsk?
ParametersParameterDescription/fFixes errors on the disk. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive, a message appears that asks you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer./vDisplays the name of each file in every directory as the disk is checked.17 more rows•Oct 9, 2019
What happens when chkdsk finishes?
When you restart, the CHKDSK is performed before Windows is loaded. … CHKDSK runs as it normally does, and when it completes, it reboots the system – which, of course, causes any progress or results that might have been displayed on-screen to disappear.
Why chkdsk takes so long?
Chkdsk is taking forever because your drive is 2 TB. The bigger the capacity, the longer it takes. With your external’s capacity, it can take days even as trekzone said. If there are too many sectors that need to be fixed on the HDD as well, it can take even more.
Is chkdsk safe?
Under normal circumstances, it’s perfectly safe as long as you’re using the one designed for your version of Windows. But, there are different commands to use in conjunction with chkdsk such as “- f” or something of the sort.
Is it safe to interrupt chkdsk?
You can’t stop chkdsk process once it started. The safe way is to wait until it completes. Stopping the computer during the check might lead to filesystem corruption.
How long does chkdsk last?
The chkdsk process is usually completed in 5 hours for 1TB drives, and if you’re scanning a 3TB drive, the required time triples. As we already mentioned, chkdsk scan can take a while depending on the size of the selected partition. Sometimes this process can take a few hours, so be patient.
Can chkdsk make things worse?
If Windows flags the file system as dirty it will do a repair using chkdsk. Unfortunately if the file system is severely corrupted chkdsk can make things worse as you have found out.
How can I speed up chkdsk?
If you want to speed up the scanning, the only way is to mirror/backup your whole partition (e.g. Partition Magic or Norton Ghost) and scan it on more healthy drive. It won’t speed up the check for bad sectors, which has to hit the entire drive anyway. I recommend running chkdsk overnight on the drive as it is.
How do I stop chkdsk from running?
To cancel a scheduled check disk, open an elevated CMD window, type the following and hit Enter: chkntfs /x c: Here c is the drive letter. This should cancel the scheduled chkdsk run.
Is it safe to stop chkdsk at stage 4?
You are on Stage 4 which is just reading from the disk, it will only write to the disk if it finds a bad block. It should be safe to stop it as the chances you actually have a bad block, and that chkdsk is repairing it when you stop it are so small they can be ignored.
Which is better chkdsk R or F?
There no much difference between chkdsk /f /r and chkdsk /r /f. They do the same thing but just in different order. chkdsk /f /r command will fix found errors in disk and then locate bad sectors and recover readable information from bad sectors, while chkdsk /r /f conducts these tasks in the opposite order.
Will chkdsk repair corrupt files?
Chkdsk’s basic function is to scan the integrity of the file system and file system metadata on a disk volume and fix any logical file system errors that it finds. … Chkdsk attempts to fix these problems by repairing soft bad sectors, and marking hard bad sectors so they won’t be used again.
How many stages are there in chkdsk?
3The Chkdsk process When chkdsk is run, there are 3 major stages along with 2 optional stages. Chkdsk will display status messages for each stage like the following: CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)… verification completed.
Where are results of chkdsk stored?
Chkdsk retains logs that provide an overview of the scans and any fixes applied. Those log files are stored within the System Volume Information > Chkdsk folder on the C: drive.
What does Stage 4 of chkdsk do?
Chkdsk used with the /r option runs a “Stage 4:” scan of the partition and looks for bad clusters in user file data. Once that completes, the utility will display how many files were processed and the status of that scan. … You may have noticed at this point that chkdsk works on individual partitions on a disk. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Betal
Betal or Vetal (Konkani: वेताळ), (Marathi: वेताळ) a Bhairava form of Shiva is a popular god in Goa, Sindhudurg district & Kolhapur of Maharashtra and Karwar of Karnataka in India. Betal is also known as Vetoba in the Konkan area of Maharashtra and Goa, and in the Sindhudurg district.
Vetoba is a deity of the Shaivites, and also known as Agyavetal, Pralayvetal and Iwalavetal. He holds a sword and a skull bowl.
History
Betal was a deity of people of the Konkan. Betala is derived from word "Vetala". Betal is a grāmadevatā, a protector deity of the local community.
Vetāla is one of the most famous and popular divine/ semi-divine beings. Almost everyone recognizes him due to the Vetāla-pancaviṁśatī/ Vikrama-Vetāla stories. In Maharashtra, especially in the coastal Konkan region, Vetāla is more popular as the folk deity Vetobā. His nature, appearance, and roles highlight that he is a kshetrapāla or a protector deity.
In Purāṇas, he is treated as a Śivagaṇa. They associate him with Bhairava, another Śivagaṇa, who is often glorified as the complete incarnation of Śiva. Bhairava is also worshipped as Bhairobā or Bhairī in Konkan.
Śivapurāṇa (III.21) and Kālikāpurāṇa (Chap.47 onwards) narrate interesting stories of association of Bhairava and Vetāla. As per Śivapurāṇa, once Śiva and Pārvatī were enjoying amorous sports and had appointed Bhairava as the doorman to ensure privacy.
When Pārvatī came out of the room in a dishevelled state, Bhairava happened to look at her ‘like a woman’. He obstructed her from going out, smitten with her charm. This infuriated her and she cursed him to be born as a human[1].
Therefore, Bhairava was born as Vetāla. However, after knowing about this, Śiva did not get furious or curse him any further. Instead, he consoled Bhairava in many ways. After Bhairava was born on the earth as Vetāla, Śiva out of affection for Bhairava took the form of Maheśa and Pārvatī was born as Śāradā[2].
Kālikāpurāṇa extends this story further by adding multiple layers to it. Bhairava is said to be human form of Mahākāla, while Vetāla is the human form of Bhṛṅgī. [3] Mahākāla and Bhṛṅgī, the sons of Hara, were born from two drops of his spilled semen. They were dark black in colour, hence named so. They were appointed as the gatemen by Śiva and Pārvatī, while the couple enjoyed in their bedroom.
When Pārvatī exited the room in a tousled state, they happened to see her. She cursed them for having seen her in a state only fit for her husband to see. She cursed them to be born as humans with monkey faces[4].
Instead of calmly accepting the unjust curse, they hurled a counter-curse; as they were actually innocent, and were diligently doing their assigned duty. It was her fault to walk out of the bedroom in an inappropriate state. She was also to be born as a human, and Hara as her husband. The duo, Mahākāla and Bhṛṅgī was then to be born to them.
Accordingly Pārvatī was born to King Kakutstha and his wife Queen Manonmathinī as Princess Tārāvatī. She was married to Prince Candraśekhara, son of King Pauṣya. Candraśekhara was actually Śiva himself, born to the issueless King through a boon.
Once, when Queen Tārāvatī was bathing in a river, a certain Sage Kapota was enchanted by her beauty, and sought coitus with her. The Queen, afraid of losing her virtue, sent her sister Citrāṅgadā in her stead. This continued for a while. Upon realizing the fraud, the sage cursed her.
As per the curse, a hideous looking, ill-dressed, penniless, and skull-bearing man would forcibly mate with her, resulting in the birth of two monkey-faced sons.
She was furious with such a curse, and vowed that if she was the daughter of Kakutstha, born with the blessings of goddess Caṇḍikā, and was devoted to her husband Candraśekhara, no one apart from her own husband would be able to mate with her.
After she told her husband about the entire episode, he built a secluded tower for her to stay. Once, Śiva and Pārvatī were passing by the tower by air, and spotted her. Realizing this as a befitting opportunity to fulfil all the curses, Śiva instructed Pārvatī to enter the body of Tārāvatī, while he assumed the form of a man, just as was described by the curse of Sage Kapota[5]. Through their union were born two monkey-faced sons.
Later Sage Nārada informed the King about the birth of two princes, and explained their real nature. King then realized his Śivatva and the queen’s Pārvatītva. The kids were named Bhairava and Vetāla.
King later had three more sons with her. He bestowed the kingdom, all the riches, and his love on them; and was rather fearful of Bhairava and Vetāla. They became celibates and wandered about in the forest. In a chance meeting, Sage Kapota explained to them that they actually were the sons of Śiva and Pārvatī.
He sent them to Kāmarūpa to meet their parents. They propitiated Śiva who explained the method of veneration of various forms of Pārvatī. They worshipped her accordingly, and were blessed with permanent servitude to the divine couple, immortality, and divinity. Śiva conferred upon them gaṇeśatva.
The text also goes on to explain their progeny. They were celibates and never married. However, they decided to have sons after a counsel with Sage Nārada, who explained to them the need to have a male offspring[6]. Bhairava was attracted to the divine nymph Urvaśī and produced a son named Suveśa. Vetāla fathered a son named Śṛṅga with Kāmadhenu. These lineages continued to flourish.
Tradition
According to tradition, Betal moves throughout the village at night and keeps vigil on the property of his devotees. The cult of Betal has been very prominent in Goa; animal sacrifices are made to Betal in many places. However, modes of worship differ from place to place. Offerings of sugar and bananas are made, and animal sacrifice is disapproved of in some areas.
Agyo Betal is another form of Betal found in Goa.
In Poinguinim, Goa, when wishes are fulfilled the offering is made in the form of leather chappals. It is believed that Betal wears the chappals and roams around the village. When you visit the temple, you can see the chappals are worn out. Temples are also present in Amona, Pune, Aaravali, Uttarkhand and Kashmir.
Vetal is king of ghosts. The konkan desh is ruled by Vetal and his ghosts. He is worshipped for protection from ghosts. Konkan area is believed to be overpopulated by ghosts and demons. Macchindranath, according to the 5th adhyaya of Navnath Bhaktisaar Granth, made war on the ghosts, Vetal's army was defeated by him over North India and beyond. | WIKI |
How To Use An Exercise Ball For Abs
By: Sasha Maggio
Break Studios Contributing Writer
How to use an exercise ball for abs is quite simple, and will yield faster and more significant results from abdominal workouts than traditional sit-ups and crunches. Exercise balls come in several sizes which are selected by the height of the user. Most come with a hand pump to help inflate the exercise ball easily, and the ball may need to be re-inflated every week or so depending on how frequently and aggressively it is used.
Things You Need:
• Exercise Ball for your height
• Chair or Bench
• Free Weights
How to Use an Exercise Ball for Abs
1. Lean on the Exercise Ball with your mid-lower back, legs bent at 90 degree angles and your hands clasped behind your head. Alternate touching your left elbow to your right knee and right elbow to left knee, raising one foot off the floor at a time, balancing with the other. Tighten the abs as you turn to reach for the knee with the opposite elbow. 16-32 reps.
2. Lay with your back arched over the Exercise Ball, feet on the floor with legs at 90 degree angles, and a chair or bench behind you. Grabbing the chair or bench for support, carefully balance on the Exercise Ball while you lift both feet off the floor, tightening the abs and pulling knees up directly in line above the hips, keeping legs at 90 degree angles and knees together. This is essentially a reverse crunch with the added benefit of the reverse stretch of the abs from arching over the Exercise ball. 10-15 reps.
3. Position yourself in a standard push-up form and balance with your toes pressing on the top of the Exercise Ball. While maintaining balance in the push-up position, carefully roll the Exercise Ball toward you by pulling your knees toward your chest, keeping your feet on the ball. Then carefully roll the ball back to the start position with your feet still on top. 10-12 reps.
4. Rest your mid-lower back on the Exercise Ball as in the first exercise, with legs at 90 degree angles and feet on the floor. Gripping free weights, rest the weights on your shoulders, securing them with both hands, and perform standard crunches tightening the abdominal muscles with each move. 16-32 reps.
5. Balance on the Exercise Ball with your hip, using your legs extended straight out either together or in a slight V-shape for support. Your hands may clasp behind your head, or the upper hand behind the head with the lower hand resting and ready to support you if you begin to lose your balance. Perform oblique crunches by bringing your upper shoulder upwards, tightening the abdominal muscles, then returning to the start position. Alternatively, you can bring the upper leg toward your elbow to intensify the move by raising the leg, bending the knee and bringing it upward as you crunch up. 10-20 reps.

Hill GOP horrified, awestruck by Trump
Donald Trump is descending on Capitol Hill Thursday from his perch in Manhattan’s Trump Tower, but for many lawmakers, he might as well be coming from a different planet. They are sticklers on the Constitution’s checks and balances — he once gave North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un props for wiping out his rivals. They’re calculated, on message, obsessed with keeping their Congressional majority — he riffs at packed rallies known for their violent clashes. Some sleep on their couches in their offices rather than pay rent in Washington — he lives in a gold-and-marble penthouse and flies around on a private jet. In anticipation of Trump’s marathon day of meetings around Washington, lawmakers were responding with a mix of horror, fascination and — in some cases — admiration. “The American people are looking for authentic people in government and are tired of the cookie-cutter talking points, the well-trained media speakers and the sort of bubble or echo-chamber we have,” said Rep. John Fleming (R-La.) on Wednesday evening. “To be honest I don’t know what Trump will do when he gets here, but he’s someone who is completely different than your typical Washington politician.” Trump has a packed day in Washington that started with a high-stakes meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan at the Republican National Committee headquarters. RNC Chairman Reince Priebus served as peace broker, seeking to lessen the vast divide between the real estate mogul and the down-to-earth Wisconsin Republican who said last week that he just wasn’t yet ready to accept Trump as his party’s standard-bearer. Trump is also due to attend back-to-back sessions with other House leaders and with a group of Senate leaders also wary of their presumptive nominee. The reality TV star is not a complete stranger to Washington. He’s walked the corridors of power a few times throughout the years, testifying on the regulation of the National Football League in 1985, on the credit shortage in 1991, and on Native American affairs and casinos in 1993 — sensationalizing with his remark that the Mashantucket Pequot tribe “don’t look like Indians to me.” But Trump’s ability to make jaw-dropping comments — seemingly without repercussion — is certainly foreign to most in Washington’s establishment set. When Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) yelled "you lie!" at Obama during a health care speech in 2009, both parties condemned his behavior as deplorable heckling. Hours later he issued a statement apologizing for his "lack of civility." Likewise, both parties condemned Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's suggestion that the Benghazi panel was created to bring Hillary Clinton down in the polls. It helped cost him a bid for the Speaker. For Trump, that’s nothing. “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I still wouldn’t lose voters,” he once exclaimed. “We have an up-front type of politics in New York, so the Trump style isn’t as alien to us in New York,” explained Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), who has warmed to Trump over the past few months and now thinks it’s time to get behind him. What’s more baffling to King is that so many Southern voters in the Bible-belt part of the nation are drawn to him. “People from the South aren’t usually crazy about people from the City — and Donald Trump is New York lifestyle times 1,000,” he mused. “He’s everything you would think a rural conservative from the South would be offended by — yet he’s swept all these counties in the primaries… yet another example of him defying gravity.” Well, at least he’s authentic, Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson said: “He’s exactly who you see on TV. There’s nothing manufactured in terms of who he is and how he conducts himself. He’s the exact same person, and I kind of appreciate that.” Style is one thing. Substance is another. Minimum wage hikes, abortion rights, barriers to trade — Trump might as well be a Democrat to many Republicans. But he also espouses some policies that veer so right it has conservatives’ heads spinning, namely his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from the U.S. and to deport all 11 million undocumented workers. And for lawmakers who spent countless hours reading policy talking points and studying the intricacies of trade and health care, Trump’s resume is glaring for its lack of policy expertise. His lack of experience has taken center stage, for example, in his original tax plan pitch, which the conservative Tax Foundation said would cost $10 trillion. He also mispronounced “Tanzania” during his in-depth foreign policy speech in Washington several weeks ago, eliciting snobby coffee-pot chatter in offices around the beltway. “He’s never done anything like this before — doesn’t really have any experience in governing, but that seemed to be the things that attracted most people to him," said Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), who met Trump several times in New York. He called Trump "a unique, obviously very colorful person." "The voters disqualified the people that have the most experience in the best records in favor of somebody who has neither experience or a record,” he said. Rep. Steve Womack said those types of policy mishaps are the reason Ryan is so wary of Trump: “Paul’s a policy guy — it’s well known. And I think his support is driven in many respects by the policies someone lays out, but we haven’t seen a lot of policy from Donald Trump. So I think it’s understandable that Paul would be a little hesitant right now." Still, Trump supporter Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Penn.) said that’s something he actually likes about Trump: that he doesn’t pretend like he knows everything and asks for help. “Politicians say: I know what the problem is, and I know all the answers and I can fix it— but Trump is a very successful business executive,” the Pennsylvania Republican said, noting that Trump, like any CEO, plans to “surround himself with the best people he can find.” “Maybe he doesn’t look like a politician and stand in front of the camera and saying ‘I know how to fix it,' but he kind of does know how to fix it: by sitting at a boardroom with all the best people he can find and listening,” he said. “We have never seen anybody like this: A true executive in the executive office.” Trump also has his ace-in-the-hole: money. Republican lawmakers, like their Democratic counterparts, are used to constantly begging for money for elections. But Trump is the billionaire normally doing the giving. They’re already talking up how they can tap his celebrity to make bank, according to Rep. Chris Collins, a Trump supporter from New York. “That’s an olive branch that they’ve already extended — to be part of fundraising,” he said.

they declared, a proof of the claim that all Socialists believed and practised "free love." The Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis refused to shake hands with him, turning his back upon him on a public platform: Newell Dwight Hillis, whose greed for money led him into a series of disgusting scandals, and forced him finally to bow his head with shame and confess his financial sins before his congregation! The Rev. Thomas Dixon wrote a novel, "The One Woman," in which he portrayed Herron as a sort of human gorilla: Dixon, dealer in pulpit-slang, who has since turned to the movies as a means of glorifying race-hatred and militarism, and pouring out his venom upon all that is humane and generous in life.
I have many friends who were present at the marriage of George D. Herron and Carrie Rand. They were married by a Congregational clergyman, William Thurston Brown, and I have seen the marriage certificate. Yet all over this country, and in fact all over the world, the newspapers portrayed the ceremony as a "free love wedding," no real marriage, but just a say-so to be terminated at pleasure. The most horrible tales were told, the most horrible pictures were published—of Herron, and of his first wife, and of his "soul mate" and his "soul mate's" mother.
I saw that the strain of the thing was killing Herron, and persuaded him to go abroad to live and do his writing. Three or four years later old Mrs. Rand died, leaving a part of her money to found the Rand School; Herron and his wife came home to bury her, and again the storm broke out. He had purchased a farm at Metuchen, New Jersey, intending to live there; a reporter came, representing that the "Cosmopolitan Magazine" wished to publish a series of articles about the wives of distinguished American writers. On this pretext the reporter obtained a photograph of a painting which Herron had had made of his wife and baby, and a week later there appeared in the magazine section of the "New York Sunday American" a horrible scare story about the "free love colony" which Herron was founding in the midst of an exclusive residential suburb of New Jersey. There was a picture of the free love wife and the free love baby, and of Herron standing upon a ladder, tacking upon a wall his repudiation of the institution of marriage. The headlines ran: | WIKI |

Orthopedic Rehab: Debunking the Myths
If you are facing a health problem such as the need for joint replacement surgery, you’ve probably heard a few horror stories. Your friends and family will repeat experiences they’ve heard from a friend of a friend or an acquaintance of a coworker who they once met… there’s a bit of similarity between stories about bad healthcare experiences and urban legends. Something bad happened to someone but the story is impossible to verify; the implication is that it is supposed to be true and therefore a real risk for you personally.
Before you go worrying yourself for nothing, educate yourself. When you hear the story that a nurse pushed a patient right from the recovery bed into the hallway for a long walk down a cold, fluorescent lit path, learn what’s really taking place. The story is probably a dramatic distortion of the truth, which involved a professional orthopedic rehabilitation therapist and a carefully guided recovery plan.
Rehabilitation is a key part of recovery. Surgery can only fix the injured part of your body, but rehab is the driving force that keeps the healing process on track and moving forward.
Orthopedic rehabilitation refers to work done to help muscles, bones, ligaments and tendons heal. Therapists work in several different ways to address rehabilitation needs including gait training, strengthening, and re-education of activities of daily living such as bathing and dressing.
A proper rehab session can decrease swelling and increase circulation after surgery, which are important aspects of treatment; it’s just not good practice to take pain killers or anti-inflammatory drugs alone. While medications help, it’s better to reduce the amount of prescriptions needed by helping the body get well faster. As your blood moves more efficiently and quickly, you distribute resources needed, such as nutrients or oxygen, and carry away toxins from your joints, muscles, ligaments, and bones.
Of course, you were used to movements such as walking before you went in for surgery. However, a qualified medical professional will not simply ask you to walk without assessing your current capabilities and ensuring your movement after surgery will not cause you harm. Together, you will develop a plan that can start with something as basic as learning how to move in and out of a car when leaving the hospital to the long term goal of being independent again and not homebound.
A good healthcare provider working in your home is a real benefit because it’s likely that your house was not built as a rehab center. You may need to learn to manage stairs or a bathroom without handicap amenities. You may need training to properly change dressings to prevent infection after your surgery.
Talking to the right orthopedic rehab professional will ensure you can get well not only faster but with less frustration and a lower likelihood of readmission due to injury or infection.
As a Home Care Elite Top 100 Agency, Atrinity Home Health is the preferred choice. Doctors, family, and friends recommend us for same day joint rehab at home not just because we were the first in Connecticut to offer this critical service but because we have the experience and skill to make your rehab experience successful. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Swansea Friends Meeting House and Cemetery
The Swansea Friends Meeting House and Cemetery, at 223 Prospect Street in Somerset, Massachusetts, are a pair of religious properties believed to include the oldest extant Quaker meetinghouse in the state, with the oldest surviving meetinghouse form in which the pulpit and entrance face each other across the building's short dimension (instead of the 19th century form, where they stand at opposite ends of the long dimension). The oldest portion of the building dates to 1702, when Somerset was part of Swansea. Originally only 24 ft wide, the building was significantly enlarged in 1746, adding side bays and a second floor gallery. In the 19th century the balconies were closed off to provide office space. The cemetery adjacent to the meetinghouse is also believed to be of great age; its oldest dated marker is 1831, but 18th century Quaker practice did not generally include the laying of markers, so there are likely a number of unmarked early graves.
The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. | WIKI |

Swallows Parade
Swallows Parade was an Australian radio and television series. The radio version was broadcast by Melbourne station 3DB in the 1950s, and was also heard on other Major Broadcasting Network stations on a Thursday evening, with auditions being held on Tuesdays. It was presented in front of a live audience from various towns and cities with Major Network outlets.
Television series
The television version was hosted by Doug Elliot and telecast on Melbourne station HSV-7 (early Australian series often aired on a single station as opposed to being networked), and is described as being a talent show, and is notable as one of the first such shows produced for Australian television.
It aired at 8:30PM on Saturdays during 1957. During this period, the same station broadcast another, longer-lived talent show, titled Stairway to the Stars, which ran from 1956 to 1958.
Although HSV-7 was likely making at least some use of kinescope recording by 1957 (it being the method used to record live television prior to the introduction of video-tape to Australia), it is not known if any such recordings of exist of Swallows Parade or Stairway to the Stars. A later Swallow's-sponsored talent contest, a special from 1959 that was hosted by Bert Newton, exists as a 16mm kinescope recording. | WIKI |
The Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras were two very different periods in human history. The Paleolithic Era, also known as the Stone Age, was a time when humans relied on hunting and gathering for their survival. The Neolithic Era, or the New Stone Age, was a time when humans began to domesticate plants and animals and develop agriculture.
There are several key differences between the Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras. During the Paleolithic Era, humans were nomadic and lived in small groups. They did not have permanent settlements or engage in trade. In contrast, during the Neolithic Era, humans began to settle down in one place and develop civilizations. They also engaged in trade with other cultures.
Paleolithic humans were hunter-gatherers while Neolithic humans were farmers. Paleolithic people mainly used stone tools, while Neolithic people began to use bronze and copper tools. Paleolithic cultures were mostly concerned with survival, while Neolithic cultures developed art, religion, and government.
The Paleolithic Era was a time of great change for humans. The Neolithic Era was also a time of great change, but on a much larger scale. During the Paleolithic Era, humans learned how to use fire and make tools. They also began to domesticate plants and animals. during the Neolithic Era, humans invented writing, developed civilizations, and built monumental architecture such as the pyramids.
Both the Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras were times of great change for humans. The Paleolithic Era was a time when humans first began to use fire and make tools. The Neolithic Era was a time when humans developed civilizations and built monumental architecture. Both eras were important in human history and have left their mark on the world today.
The Paleolithic and Neolithic eras are comparable in several ways since the Paleolithic culture served as a precursor to the Neolithic era. They also differ because the Neolithic people improved and extended the skills of their predecessors to become more settled agriculturalists. The term “Old Stone Age,” or Paleolithic Era, refers to the time when human beings first began creating rudimentary tools approximately three million years ago in East Africa.
The Paleolithic people were constantly on the move in search of food. Around 10,000 BCE, the Paleolithic people began to make a change. The climate was changing and the food sources were slowly drying up. In order to survive, the Paleolithic people needed to find a new way to live.
This is when they started to domesticate plants and animals. The Neolithic Revolution, also known as the New Stone Age, was a time when humans began to use stone tools that were more advanced. This allowed them to have better control over their environment. The Neolithic Revolution led to the development of civilizations.
Human beings lived in a hunting and gathering culture during the Paleolithic era. Their food at this time was mostly wild animals, fish, vegetables, and fruits. The individuals stayed in cave shelters or built rock and wood huts. They’d prefer to stay in big groups sharing their food with family members rather than alone.
The Neolithic culture is characterized by a settled lifestyle with domesticated plants and animals. This allowed for the development of civilizations as people no longer had to move around to find food. They began to live in houses made of mud bricks or stone. Their diet consisted of domesticated plants, such as wheat and barley, and animals, such as sheep and pigs. Tools and weapons during this time were made of copper and bronze. The Neolithic period dates from 10,000 to 4,000 years ago.
Comparing the Paleolithic and Neolithic cultures, we can see that the biggest difference is the way in which they obtained food. Paleolithic people were nomadic and had to search for food, while Neolithic people domesticated plants and animals, which allowed them to settle down. This led to the development of civilizations during the Neolithic period. Another difference is the type of tools and weapons used. Paleolithic people used stone, wood, and bone, while Neolithic people used copper and bronze.
Despite the fact that human progress was painfully slow during the lengthy millennia of the Paleolithic Age, technologies were developed that will have a significant impact on future generations. The ability to speak and learn how to make and utilize bone, wood, and stone tools was discovered by Paleolithic people. They also figured out how to use fire, which allowed them to cook their meals and provided warmth as well as protection against predators.
In the Paleolithic era, people lived in small bands of 20 to 30 individuals. These bands were often related to each other by blood. They were nomadic, meaning that they moved around constantly in search of food. The Paleolithic lifestyle was based on hunting and gathering. Paleolithic people hunted large game such as mammoths and woolly rhinoceroses. They also gathered smaller animals, birds, fish, nuts, fruits, and vegetables.
The Neolithic Revolution was a period of time when humans began to farm and live in permanent settlements. This revolution began around 10,000 BC in the Middle East and slowly spread to other parts of the world. The Neolithic way of life was very different from the Paleolithic. Instead of hunting and gathering, Neolithic people began to farm the land. They grew crops such as wheat, barley, and vegetables. They also raised animals such as sheep, pigs, and cows.
Neolithic people lived in permanent settlements that were often walled off from the outside world. This allowed them to protect their homes and families from wild animals and other dangers. Neolithic people also developed new technologies such as pottery and weaving.
The Neolithic Age began with the New Stone Age, which was a gradual shift from foragers to agricultural society. Human beings learned to farm, tame animals, establish villages, polish stone tools, make pottery, and weave fabric during this era. Women and children cultivated food in their gardens rather than searching for grains, roots, and berries as they had previously done. Food was still hunted from the wild but people also grew wheat, barley, raised sheep and goats for food.
The domestication of plants and animals lead to a change in lifestyle, which allowed for the growth of civilizations. Agriculture allowed for the domestication of plants and animals, which lead to a change in lifestyle and the growth of civilizations. The Paleolithic Era, also known as the Old Stone Age, is characterized by the use of stone tools. | FINEWEB-EDU |
-- Acme Packet Shares Decline After Sales, Profit Miss Estimates
Acme Packet Inc. (APKT) fell the most in a
month after the maker of computer-networking technology reported
fourth-quarter sales and profit that missed analysts’ estimates. Acme dropped 6.5 percent to $28.88 at 9:31 a.m. after the
Bedford, Massachusetts-based company said yesterday that profit
excluding certain items was 26 cents a share, missing the
average estimate of 28 cents in a Bloomberg survey. Earlier the
shares dropped 7.6 percent for the biggest intraday decline
since Jan. 4. Chief Executive Officer Andrew Ory said slower spending by
telecommunications-service providers in North America hurt
results. He doesn’t expect expenditures by those companies to
improve in the first half of 2012. “The majority of that business tends to come in the back
half of the year, so we really were disappointed,” Ory said on
a conference call with analysts. Fourth-quarter net income fell 40 percent to $8.7 million,
or 12 cents a share, from $14.5 million, or 21 cents, a year
earlier, the company said in a statement. Revenue rose 18
percent to $83 million, compared with a projection of $85.7
million. Ory’s remarks echoed those made by Juniper Networks Inc. (JNPR)
CEO Kevin Johnson on Jan. 26. The head of the No. 2 maker of
networking equipment said Internet providers in the U.S. are
delaying upgrades, contributing to a lower-than-expected
forecast. Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) , the biggest maker of networking
equipment, is scheduled to report its results Feb. 8. To contact the reporter on this story:

Mass media in Colombia
Mass media in Colombia refers to Mass media available in Colombia consisting of several different types of communications media: television, radio, cinema, newspapers, magazines, and Internet-based Web sites. Colombia also has a national music industry.
Many of the media are controlled by large for-profit corporations who reap revenue from advertising, subscriptions, and sale of copyrighted material, largely affected by piracy.
Media in Colombia is regulated by the Ministry of Communications and the National Television Commission.
Many deregulation and convergence have occurred in an attempt by the government to turn the mass media industry in Colombia more competitive, leading to mega-mergers, further concentration of media ownership, and the emergence of multinational media conglomerates. Critics allege that localism, local news and other content at the community level, media spending and coverage of news, and diversity of ownership and views have suffered as a result of these processes of media concentration.
In 2015, Colombia ranked 128th place on the Reporters Without Borders press freedom scale, making it one of the most dangerous places to be a mass media journalist.
Newspapers
Newspaper media in Colombia date back to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. The first newspaper published in Colombia was La Bagatela, edited by Antonio Nariño in 1811. In Colombia the most read and influential newspaper is El Tiempo, which also has the highest newspaper circulation in the country. It was founded in 1911 by Alfonso Villegas Restrepo and currently owned by Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo.
Another influential newspaper is El Espectador, founded in 1887 by Fidel Cano Gutiérrez, was for many years one of the most important dailies in Colombia but due to a financial crisis its circulation was restricted to one edition weekly between 2001 and 2008, when it returned as a daily. El Nuevo Siglo, a conservative newspaper, focuses on political news. El Espacio, founded in 1965 by Ciro Gómez Mejía, was the main yellow journalism newspaper in the country until 2013 when it was sold to Roberto Esper Espaje after it could not cope with the competence of fledgling tabloids Q'Hubo and Extra. El Tiempo and El Espectador are the only newspapers of national distribution.
Free newspapers include Publimetro (Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, and Barranquilla) and ADN, published by El Tiempo in the same cities mentioned plus Bucaramanga.
El País newspaper is the main source of written information in the south-western region of the country, specially in the Valle del Cauca department. El Colombiano newspaper, based in Medellín, is the most influential newspaper in the Paisa Region. Other regional newspapers include La Crónica del Quindío, La Opinión, and El Heraldo, which covers the area of the Caribbean Region of Colombia. MIRA is a tabloid format newspaper with circulation of some 150,000 per week. It is edited by MIRA political party.
El Bogotano is a virtual news platform with a tradition en newsprint since 1973. It is an open ended virtual newspaper that allows for independent journalists to publish in its multiple content platforms.
The main current issues magazines published in Colombia are Semana and Cromos; Cambio folded in 2010.

Television
Colombia has five national and many local and regional television channels. The National Television Authority oversees television programming. National Radio and Television of Colombia (Radio Televisión Nacional de Colombia —RTVC), Colombia's public broadcaster, oversees three national television stations (one public-commercial, one institutional, and one educational). Television stations include:
* Caracol TV: General programming. Founded in 1956 by Fernando Londoño Henao, Cayetano Betancourt, Carlos Sanz de Santamaría and Pedro Navas as a production company. It's a national network since 1998.
* RCN TV: General programming. Founded in 1967 as a production company. It's a national network since 1998.
* Señal Colombia: Cultural and educational broadcasting. Founded in 1970.
* Canal Institucional: Institutional programming. Created in 2004 to replace public-commercial channel Canal A (founded 1972 as Segunda Cadena).
* Canal Uno, state-owned national television network, whose programming is provided by private companies. It is the first television station in Colombia, founded in 1954.
Regional and local stations include:
* Canal Capital: Local state-run channel to Bogotá
* Citytv: Local private channel to Bogotá
* Teleantioquia: Regional channel based in Medellín and covers the Antioquia Department
* Telepacífico: Regional channel based in Cali. Covers the Pacific region

Internet
Internet access in Colombia shows a marked increase during the last few years. As September 2009, the web connections surpasses two million, as compared with an estimated total of 900,000 Internet subscribers by the end of 2005. The current figure equated to 17 million Internet users, plus 3.8 million mobile internet users, or 38.5 percent of the 2009 population, as compared with 4,739,000 Internet users in 2005, or 11.5 percent of the 2005 population (10.9 per 100 inhabitants).
Media ownership
Media ownership remains concentrated in the hands of wealthy families, large national conglomerates, or groups associated with one or the other of the two dominant political parties. The first foreign media owner in the country is the Spanish media conglomerate Prisa, which acquired majority ownership of the country's largest radio network. There are public television and radio networks and two news agencies (Ciep–El País and Colprensa).
Freedom of the press
The law provides for freedom of speech and of the press, and the government generally has respected these rights in practice. Although security forces generally have not subjected journalists to harassment, intimidation, or violence, there have been exceptions, as well as reports of threats and violence against journalists by corrupt officials. Colombian journalists practice self-censorship to avoid reprisals by corrupt officials, criminals, and members of illegal armed groups. In the fifth annual Reporters Without Borders Worldwide Press Freedom Index published in October 2006, Colombia ranked 131 of a total of 168 countries, a decline from its 2005 ranking of 128. More than 80 journalists have been murdered in the past decade for doing their jobs. Major international wire services, newspapers, and television networks have a presence in the country and generally operate free of government interference. | WIKI |
Barr Terrace
Barr Terrace is a historic three-story row house in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was built in 1890 for William Barr, a German immigrant, and designed in the Châteauesque architectural style. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 1, 1979. It was restored in 1979–1980.
History
The structure was built in 1890 for William Barr, a German immigrant and real estate investor who first settled in Lincoln in 1861, when it was still known as Lancaster. Barr also owned Lyman Terrace. Another owner was Homan J. Walsh, a real estate investor and businessman who served as a councilman.
Below the three stories, which were built with bricks, there is a basement, built with rusticated stones. The mansard roof was built with slate, and the windowsills with sandstone.
The building was designed in the Châteauesque style by architect Ferdinand C. Fiske, a Cornell-educated architect who designed many buildings in Nebraska. On the southern side of the building, there is a tourelle. An 1890 article in the Nebraska State Journal noted, "These two properties of Messrs. Barr, Barnes (Barr Terrace) and Lyman (Lyman Terrace) are the beginning of a tendency to erect fine tenement residences that will be substantial ornaments to the city."
By 1979, the building's owner was listed as James Brygger. Brygger had recently graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's School of Architecture, and he purchased the building with the help of an investor to restore it. According to a 1980 article in the Lincoln Journal Star, "Singlehandedly, he ripped, tore and pounded apart the interior, demolishing the original -- and deteriorated -- walls, floors and ceilings. The work was too much for one, so he subcontracted, adding workers to build cabinetry and assist him." Once restored, it was marketed as rentals for the middle class.
The building has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 1, 1979. | WIKI |
UK's ITV axes 'Jeremy Kyle Show' after death of participant
LONDON (Reuters) - British broadcaster ITV has canceled “The Jeremy Kyle Show”, a tabloid talkshow that features confrontations between guests over issues like infidelity, betrayal and addiction, after a participant died following a recording of the program. A mainstay of ITV’s daytime schedule since 2005, the program had similarities with America’s “The Jerry Springer Show”, including using security guards to break up brawls between guests. The death of Steven Dymond, a 63-year-old who had taken a lie detector test a week before his death in an episode that was never broadcast, has raised questions about broadcasters’ responsibility toward people who appear on reality TV. “Given the gravity of recent events we have decided to end production of The Jeremy Kyle Show,” ITV Chief Executive Carolyn McCall said on Wednesday. The show, which is watched by about 1 million people, has been criticized for broadcasting the traumas of its guests. The Prime Minister’s office said Dymond’s death was “deeply concerning”, and lawmaker Charles Walker said participants in the show were “not really guests, they’re victims”. In 2007, a judge compared the program to bear-baiting when a participant was convicted of assault after a fight during the filming of a show. ITV, Britain’s biggest free-to-air commercial broadcaster, had said it has an extensive support system for participants before, during and after the show, and said the program had helped many people to resolve complex personal problems. Dymond’s death, and the deaths of two former contestants in ITV’s popular dating show “Love Island”, prompted lawmakers to set up an inquiry into the support offered to participants in reality TV shows, both during and after filming. “ITV has made the right decision to permanently cancel the Jeremy Kyle Show,” said Damian Collins, chair of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee. “However, that should not be the end of the matter.” He said such program risked putting people who might be vulnerable on to a public stage at a point in their lives when they were unable to foresee the consequences, either for themselves or their families. “This kind of TV featuring members of the public attracts viewing figures in the millions but in return for ratings, the broadcasters must demonstrate their duty of care to the people whose personal lives are being exposed,” he said. Reality television, pioneered by the global success of “Big Brother” at the turn of the century, has resulted in fame for some participants, but others have been left disillusioned by the experience. One audience member who watched the recording of The Jeremy Kyle Show featuring Dymond discussing infidelity, said he was distressed after the lie-detector test results were revealed. “You just saw him collapse to the ground, absolutely just couldn’t believe what he’d heard,” Babette Lucas-Marriott told the BBC. “People were laughing at him because of the lies he’d told but he just needed help, and it just – it was horrible to watch, it really was.” McCall said the show had a loyal audience and had been made by a dedicated production team for 14 years, but it was the right time for it to end. “Everyone at ITV’s thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Steve Dymond,” she said. ITV said it would continue to work with host Jeremy Kyle on other projects. Editing by Kate Holton and Elaine Hardcastle | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Christianity too had reached the Arabian Peninsula sometime in the 2 or 3 centuries following the crucifixion. In fact, there were Arabs present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:11), and it’s likely that they took the Gospel to Northern Arabia then, although it took a while longer for Christianity to spread further south. Certainly by the time Mohammed was born, there were several different Christian communities with differing beliefs scattered around the peninsula. Some were indigenous Arabs who occupied a high position in society (such as the tribe of wealthy traders in Najran to the south), but many Christians in Mohammed’s birthplace of Mecca and its surrounds were runaway slaves from Roman provinces, or captive slaves captured by Arab raids to the North (Persians, Jordanians, Romans and Greeks), in addition to a small number of individual Arab converts. Such was the spread across the region and through society of Christian groups and individuals that everyone including Mohammed would have come into contact with Christians and have at least a passing familiarity with their beliefs. It would have been common knowledge, then, that just as the Jewish people were eagerly awaiting the first coming of the Messiah, the Christians were waiting for the return of Jesus to take them to heaven. However, the range of Christian beliefs held was wide indeed with more than a sprinkling of heresy; we shall discuss the influence of these beliefs on the teachings of Mohammed in a later chapter. For now suffice it to say that they had a significant influence on pre-Islamic religious thought in society. | FINEWEB-EDU |

Supplementary Material for: RNA Polymerase II Forms Transcription Networks in Rye and Arabidopsis Nuclei and Its Amount Increases with Endopolyploidy
2017-03-13T11:14:27Z (GMT) by Schubert V.
RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) is responsible for the transcription of most eukaryotic genes. In mammalian nuclei, RNAPII is mainly localized in relatively few distinct transcription factories. In this study - applying super-resolution microscopy - it is shown that in plants, inactive (non-phosphorylated) and active (phosphorylated) RNAPII modifications compose distinct ‘transcription networks' within the euchromatin. These reticulate structures sometimes attach to each other, but they are absent from heterochromatin and nucleoli. The global RNAPII distribution within nuclei is not influenced by interphase chromatin organization such as Rabl (rye) versus non-Rabl (Arabidopsis thaliana) orientation. Replication of sister chromatids without cell division causes endopolyploidy, a phenomenon widespread in plants and animals. Endopolyploidy raises the number of gene copies per nucleus. Here, it is shown that the amounts of active and inactive RNAPII enzymes in differentiated 2-32C leaf nuclei of A. thaliana proportionally increase with rising endopolyploidy. Thus, increasing the transcriptional activity of cells and tissues seems to be an important function of endopolyploidy. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
A Cause of Post-Whiplash Headaches
Headaches are a common complaint among patients with whiplash associated disorder (WAD) following a motor vehicle collision, slip and fall, or sports injury. While in some cases, the cause of WAD-associated headache can be a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), in many instances the underlying cause of WAD-related headaches can be injury to the neck. How is this possible?
Past research has demonstrated that irritation of the nerves that pass through the top of the cervical spine (C1, C2, and C3) can lead to tension-type or cervicogenic headaches, especially when the C2 nerve is involved. These nerves exit the spine and travel through a thick group of muscles located at the top of the neck/base of the skull or “suboccipital” region.
In a 2019 study, a group of anatomists discovered the close relationship of the greater occipital nerve (C2) and a muscle called the obliquus capitus inferior (OCI) and sought to determine how the C2 might get “pinched” in injuries such as whiplash.
The authors studied 20 cadavers and found three patterns. The nerves either travelled loosely around the muscle (Type I), were incorporated in the dense muscle fascia (Type II), or travelled directly through a myofascial sleeve within the muscle (Type III). Among the 40 C2 nerves (there is a left and right), the research team found seven instances of Type I, thirty-one instances of Type II, and two instances of Type III. Because of the intimate relationship between the OCI and C2 nerve, it’s understandable that during the whiplash process, the stretching of C2 nerve combined with the contraction of the OCI could set the stage for injury to the nerve.
Drs. David Arthur and Suzie Shay frequently find that WAD patients have a great deal of tenderness in the suboccipital region and respond well to upper cervical spinal manipulation and mobilization. When these muscles are more relaxed, neck pain and headaches often improve. Similarly, exercises that focus specifically on this region help the patient self-manage headaches and neck pain, which reduces the need for medications, many of which have negative side-effects.
One such exercise is called the cervical brace. This is done by kneeling on all fours and is broken down as follows: 1) “poke” your chin/head straight down toward the floor; 2) in a smooth scooping motion, tuck your chin down (chin-to-chest); 3) and then scoop your head back up to neutral keeping the chin tucked. Repeat in a smooth scooping motion (avoid doing it “steps”). Repeat until your neck feels loose. You may notice some painless popping, crunching sounds as you do the exercise. As modifiers, try it sitting or standing, with or without resistance applied to the forehead.
Studies show neck pain and headaches arising from WAD injuries respond very quickly to chiropractic care. Please consider Corner on Wellness Chiropractic Center FIRST in your post-WAD management process!

Nanoscale structure determination of Murray Valley encephalitis and Powassan virus non-coding RNAs
Tyler Mrozowich, Amy Henrickson, Borries Demeler, Trushar R. Patel
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Abstract
Viral infections are responsible for numerous deaths worldwide. Flaviviruses, which contain RNA as their genetic material, are one of the most pathogenic families of viruses. There is an increasing amount of evidence suggesting that their 5’ and 3’ non-coding terminal regions are critical for their survival. Information on their structural features is essential to gain detailed insights into their functions and interactions with host proteins. In this study, the 5’ and 3’ terminal regions of Murray Valley encephalitis virus and Powassan virus were examined using biophysical and computational modeling methods. First, we used size exclusion chromatography and analytical ultracentrifuge methods to investigate the purity of in-vitro transcribed RNAs. Next, we employed small-angle X-ray scattering techniques to study solution conformation and low-resolution structures of these RNAs, which suggest that the 3’ terminal regions are highly extended as compared to the 5’ terminal regions for both viruses. Using computational modeling tools, we reconstructed 3-dimensional structures of each RNA fragment and compared them with derived small-angle X-ray scattering low-resolution structures. This approach allowed us to reinforce that the 5’ terminal regions adopt more dynamic structures compared to the mainly double-stranded structures of the 3’ terminal regions.

WhatsApp fixes the notification badge on muted iOS chats
WhatsApp’s latest iOS update stops showing an unread notification badge on its app icon for messages you’ve muted. It’s a minor but welcome change that arrived with version 2.19.110 of the iOS app. The change applies for both individual and group chats. The messaging app’s mute feature is invaluable if you want to reduce distractions, particularly if you’re a participant in any large group chats. Before the update, muting a chat would only stop your phone from vibrating and playing a notification sound when it received a new message, while doing nothing about the anxiety-inducing red notification badge placed on the app’s icon on the home screen. The new update only affects iOS users. On Android, meanwhile, WhatsApp has a separate “Show notifications” toggle which you can either tick or untick when you’re muting a chat. | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Talk:Ian Wolfe
HIRSCH!
He was also the long-suffering butler to "Mama Carlson" on WKRP. What a great character, what a great character actor. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:56, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
A Place In The Sun
I watched a DVD of A Place in the Sun (film) today, and if I am not mistaken, Ian Wolfe played an uncredited role as Doctor Wyeland. The Internet Movie Database (IMdb) confirms this. If any Wikipedia editor has reliable documentation of this fact, please update this article accordingly. Thank you! – Anita5192 (talk) 23:31, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

World War I service
Although Wolfe served in the Army during the World War I era, there are no reliable sources found as of yet state that he was in a war zone during the war. More specifically, the sources do not establish defining role in World War I. Accordingly, "Category:United States army personnel of World War I" was removed until a defining role is established. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* If he was in the Army during the war, that is sufficient. How and where he served is irrelevant. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:07, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* Please add content with a source that shows he had a defining role in World War I to rate this category. In Newspapers.com and Google Books, I have found nothing so far. Maybe you will have better luck. Semper fi! FieldMarine (talk)
* That's not how this category works. They can't all be Audie Murphys Alvin Yorks. See Elmer Austin Benson, George Biddle, Dickinson Bishop, Dan Blaine, etc. Passing mentions for all of them. How is Wolfe any different? Clarityfiend (talk) 11:34, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* Categories are added by showing a person has a defining role. An actor today who served in the Army in 2004 would not automatically have "Catgeory:Army personnel of the Iraq war" and "Category:Army personnel of the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)" just because they served in the Army during the time those war were happening unless they had a role in those wars. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:40, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* Nope. You haven't addressed the other less-than-stellar soldier examples I had no difficulty in finding. I could go on and on with those. So, unless you're prepared to delete their categories, you have no ground to stand on. Also, consider Category:1939 films. Is there something that makes 1939 a defining characteristic of these movies? A few are noted for being released in what is considered the best year for films ever, but the vast majority aren't. Or Category:People from Poughkeepsie, New York. Is being a Poughkeepsian a defining characteristic? Clarityfiend (talk) 11:50, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* WP:CATDEFINING is routinely ignored. That's a fact that can't be swept under the rug. Trying to reverse it is as futile as King Canute ordering the tide to stop rising. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:56, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* Examining more closely the four examples I picked essentially at random, I see that only Bishop's service is even sourced, and that only in Encyclopedia Titanica. Contrast that to Wolfe; his service is noted in his Los Angeles Times obituary. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:05, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
* Please stick to this category for this person using the criteria on Wikipedia for adding cats, which is defining role. If there is no content that shows a defining role to support a cat on those actors, then they should be removed as well. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 12:08, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

* Good luck getting rid of those people (none actors BTW) because there are a vast number of them. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:03, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
* I have seen many examples where an obituary says a person served in X branch of the military during y war as a way to provide a timeframe for service, rather than actual service in that war. In the case of Wolfe, there are no records of him serving in the military in Fold3, a database extensively of military records, so I was unable to locate a primary source. I was unable to find any sources that state Ian Wolfe had any role in World War I in NewspaperArchive. There are two sources that mention Ian M. Wolfe service in the army in Newspapers.com. One is in the Republic (Kansas City) on February 15, 1918 that states he was training at Camp Freemont, California and the other is in The Argentine Republic on February 27, 1919 where he writes an Opinion piece while a sergeant at Camp Lee, Virginia . I have not found anything that states he had a direct role in the war other than serving during that time. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 10:34, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
* I will note that his Army service is recognized by "Category:United States army non-commissioned officers". Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:42, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Comment WP:CATDEF: A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having. Since his biographical notes mention his service in World War I, that is indeed a defining category. Whether he served overseas or at home is neither here nor there, nor is the fact that he is in another category, Category:United States Army non-commissioned officers is neither here nor there either, as that is not a subcategory. Should someone create a subcategory "United States Army non-commissioned officers in World War I" then that category could replace both. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
* Two to one, plus both the LA Times and Associated Press obituaries state he served in the war, so I'm restoring the contested category. Clarityfiend (talk) 10:41, 8 June 2022 (UTC) | WIKI |

Özet
Oxidative stress in sustained hypertension was shown with several biochemical parameters. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) plays an important role during the atherosclerosis process and paraoxonase (PON1) can significantly inhibit lipid peroxidation. Serum PON1 activity, oxLDL and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations and their relationship with serum lipid parameters and systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP) were determined in subjects with white coat hypertension (WCH), sustained hypertension ( HT) and normotension (NT). The study group consisted of a total of 86 subjects, 30 with WCH ( 14 male, 16 female subjects), 30 with HT ( 13 male, 17 female subjects) and 26 with NT ( 12 male, 14 female subjects). Both white coat hypertensive and hypertensive subjects had significantly higher levels of MDA than normotensives ( P<0.026 and P<0.001, respectively). The oxLDL level of the HT group was significantly higher than the NT group ( P<0.023). The WCH group had an oxLDL level similar to both hypertensive and normotensive groups. HT and WCH groups had significantly lower PON1 levels than the normotensive group ( P<0.001). oxLDL correlated with MDA positively ( P = 0.008), and PON1 negatively ( P = 0.008). A negative correlation between MDA and PON1 ( P = 0.014) was detected. MDA correlated positively with both SBP and DBP ( P = 0.001), while PON1 correlated with both of them negatively ( P = 0.01 and P = 0.008, respectively). OxLDL correlated with diastolic blood pressure positively ( P = 0.008). Our data demonstrate that oxidative stress increase in WCH is associated with a decrease in PON1 activity. The reduction in PON1 activity may be one of the factors leading to an increase in oxidative status in WCH. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Amuze
Amuze was a video game studio located in Solna, Sweden. The studio was founded in 1996 by John Kroknes and Stefan Holmqvist. Amuze is known for developing the game Headhunter and its sequel Headhunter Redemption.
Headhunter
Headhunter is a video game developed by Amuze for the Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 video game consoles. The Dreamcast version of the game was only distributed in Europe by BigBen Interactive.
For the majority of the game, the gameplay is that of a third-person shooter as players control protagonist Jack Wade. Jack travels between the main levels of the game on his motorcycle, and these sections take the form of a racing game, with the motorbike's acceleration and braking controlled using the sensitive analogue trigger buttons of the Dreamcast control pad.
Music for the game was composed by Richard Jacques and recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
Headhunter Redemption
Headhunter Redemption is the sequel to the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 game Headhunter. Headhunter Redemption was launched in Europe for the Xbox and PlayStation 2 on October 31, 2003. The game was released in North America on September 21, 2004.
Set 20 years after the Bloody Mary Virus (released in the Original Headhunter), Jack and His New Partner Leeza X find out something is amidst when they try to stop Weapon Smugglers. The pair must face opposition from the Glass Skyscrapers filled and media controlled 'Above' and The Dregs & Criminal Infested colonies of 'Below.' Jack and Leeza must also face their fears as they try to redeem a world from chaos, Especially Jack, whose son was taken away by forces from 'Below,' but might still be alive.
Closure
Headhunter Redemption marked the last of the studio's games as they would later close down the Stockholm studio after a period of economic hardship in 2005. O-Zone was going to be the studio's next gen title but was not finished before the studio shuttered.
The official website was active, but not updated, for a period after the Stockholm studio closed in spring 2005. The website went offline in fall 2008. On its most productive year of 2003, Amuze employed 70+ staff in-house. | WIKI |
PSA: replacement of ind2sub/sub2ind in Julia 0.7+
#1
I’ve now seen a couple of cases where folks seem unhappy about the removal of the functions ind2sub and sub2ind. Some of the concerns may stem from the suggested replacement in the deprecation warning, as the replacement, while “safe,” seems considerably more awkward. This is a short post explaining their replacements and the motivation for the change; once you learn to think in the new way, I’d be surprised if you don’t become a fan of the new approach.
In older versions of Julia, the way to convert between a linear index and a cartesian index was to use the conversion functions ind2sub and sub2ind. In Julia 0.7 these were replaced by objects created by CartesianIndices and LinearIndices; for example,
function oldi2s(a, i)
sz = size(a)
ind2sub(sz, i)
end
should now be written
function newi2s(a, i)
i2s = CartesianIndices(a)
i2s[i]
end
There are two concerns I’ve heard. I’ll address them both.
• That’s a lot of characters. Why the more verbose version? It’s only more verbose if you use i2s only once; if you do conversions in multiple places in the same function, the new syntax is considerably shorter. But more importantly, the old API has a poor design because it suffers from “must read the docs” syndrome: if you’re not using ind2sub and sub2ind every day, then I’ll wager that you have to remind yourself whether it’s ind2sub(sz, i) or ind2sub(i, sz)—it’s pretty much an arbitrary choice, and as a consequence infrequent users routinely have to check the docs every time they use them.
The new API solves that uncertainty by splitting it into two steps: (a) creation of the conversion object (i2s above) depends only on the array, and (2) calculation of the index depends only on the index. Since each operation stands alone, there’s no order confusion.
The final nice thing about the new API is that we already had CartesianIndices (it used to be called CartesianRange) for iterating over arrays; all we had to do was endow it with new properties, at which point it subsumed the purpose of ind2sub. There seems little reason to keep an entirely redundant function.
• Isn’t it slow to create these objects? No, it’s not. Here’s a demo:
julia> function newi2s(a, i)
i2s = CartesianIndices(a)
i2s[i]
end
newi2s (generic function with 1 method)
julia> a = rand(5, 7);
julia> using BenchmarkTools
julia> newi2s(a, 12)
CartesianIndex(2, 3)
julia> @btime newi2s($a, 12)
6.379 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes)
CartesianIndex(2, 3)
Compare 0.6:
julia> function oldi2s(a, i)
sz = size(a)
ind2sub(sz, i)
end
oldi2s (generic function with 1 method)
julia> @btime oldi2s($a, 12)
15.065 ns (0 allocations: 0 bytes)
(2, 3)
So Julia 1.0 still has no allocations, and is 2x faster than Julia-0.6. If you know the access is in-bounds you can make it even faster by changing the relevant line to @inbounds i2s[i].
In summary, the new API is memorable and efficient, and consequently recommended for general use.
Should we have a Pkg-Announcements channel?
#2
Thank you Tim for clarifying the issue.
I understand that the object i2s = CartesianIndices(sz) is lazy and does not allocate memory. So when we do i2s[i] we only allocate a single tuple, correct?
#3
That is right. And note that the tuple is NOT heap allocated, which is the “bad” kind of allocation, performance wise.
#4
This is going to make me sound like a moron, but honestly another thing I hated is that I could never remember what ind or sub was in ind2sub and I constantly got confused about which of the functions to use.
Now I’m absolutely certain that CartesianIndices is going to give me cartesian indices when I give linear indices as an argument.
#5
Tim, thank you. Not just for this post, but in general. Whenever I see a new package, blog post, or talk from you it’s just great and makes sense immediately. The Julia community can be lucky to have you!
#6
Slightly off topic: How would one now write the boxcar3 example in your blog post https://julialang.org/blog/2016/02/iteration? Over in slack it was suggested by Simon Schoelly to replace
for J in CartesianRange(max(I1, I-I1), min(Iend, I+I1)) with
for J in CartesianIndices(UnitRange.( max(I1, I-I1).I , min(Iend, I+I1).I )). Works but seems a bit ugly, maybe there is a better way?
(Also, maybe that blog post could/should be updated to 1.0 as it is linked from the docs?)
What is the proper way to construct CartesianIndices from CartesianIndex in Julia 1.0?
#7
+1 for this, I miss CartesianRange(CartesianIndex, CartensianIndex) a lot.
#8
Here is a way to avoid the second CartesianRange creation:
function boxcar3(A::AbstractArray)
out = similar(A)
R = CartesianIndices(A)
I1, Iend = first(R), last(R)
for I in R
n, s = 0, zero(eltype(out))
for J in R[UnitRange.(max(I1, I-I1).I,min(Iend, I+I1).I)...]
s += A[J]
n += 1
end
out[I] = s/n
end
out
end
It would be more natural if the call to UnitRange could just be replaced with a :, I guess.
#9
It may be worth demonstrating the other direction as well:
julia> function news2i(a,i...)
s2i = LinearIndices(a)
s2i[i...]
end
news2i (generic function with 1 method)
julia> a = rand(5,7);
julia> news2i(a, 2,3)
12
Would it be possible / are there plans to make LinearIndices return a OrdinalRange when indexed with one? For example, we currently have
julia> news2i(a, :,1)
5-element Array{Int64,1}:
1
2
3
4
5
when it could be news2i(a, :, 1) -> 1:5 instead.

LEFT STBOZZI 126 STRY, or STRYI STBOZZI, the name of a wealthy and illustrious Florentine family. Palla, Filippo, and Piero were the three most renowned members of this princely house, between 1432 and 1537, and who were either exiled or lost their lives in the strug-gle for liberty against the power of the Medici family. STB.UENSEE, JOHANN FRIED- RICH, COUNT, a Danish statesman; born in Halle-on-the-Saale, Prussian Sax- ony, Aug. 5, 1737; studied medicine, and in 1768 was appointed physician to the King of Denmark. He soon became a favoi'ite with both the king and queen, and effected the dismissal of all those who were obstacles to his own ambitious plans. In 1770 he advised the king (who was little better than an imbecile) to abolish the council of state, a measure which roused the indignation of the Danish nobility, since it threw all au- thority into the hands of the queen and the favorite. Struensee by various means gradually usurped the administration of all affairs in the name of the king, and caused himself to be created count. His arrogance now caused a conspiracy against him, and on Jan. 16, 1772, the queen, Struensee, and their partisans were seized. The favorite was brought before a special commission, was found guilty of criminal relations with the queen (on insufficient evidence), con- victed, and executed on April 28, 1772. STRUMA, a river which has its rise in the mountains of Western Bulgaria, flows S. through Macedonia, through Lake Tachyno, and empties into the iSgean Sea 50 miles E. of Salonika. It is identical with the Strymon of antiquity. During the two Balkan wars, in 1912-1913, and again during the World War, after the Bulgarians had joined the Central Empires, it was the scene of heavy fighting. Until Septem- jer, 1918, it was largely within the Bul- garian lines, but after the final attack by the Allies at that time the Bulgarians were driven back and the Allied troops advanced up both banks of the river. STRUMA PASS, a cleft in the moun- tain chain which formerly constituted the frontier between Turkish Mace- donia and Bulgaria, through which runs the River Struma, and which constituted one of the gateways into Bulgaria by which the Allied troops advanced into Bulgaria during their successful offen- sive, in September, 1918. STRUMNITZA, a town and fortress in Macedonia, held by the Bulgarians against the British contingent of the Allied armies in the Balkans, during the World War. It was at this point that the Allies invaded Bulgaria proper, on September 25, 1918, as part of the gen- eral advance, begun a week before, which terminated in the complete col- lapse of the Bulgarian resistance, and proved the beginning of the end of the war as a whole. STRUT, a bar in a frame having equal and opposite forces applied to its ends, acting inward and producing upon it a state of compression. Specifically: (1) A diagonal timber which acts as a post or brace to support a principal rafter or purlin. Its lower end is stepped into a tie beam, or on a shoulder of a king or queen post.

While still a boy he removed to the United States and gradu- ated from Columbia University in 1900. In 1906 he became an editorial writer for the New York "Evening Post," and was also literary editor of that paper. His essays were published in several vol- umes, including "The Patient Observer" (1911); "Post - Impressions" (1914). Other books are: "Belshazzar Court" (1914) ; a novel, "Professor Latimer's Progress" (1918) ; and "Little Journeys to Paris" (1918).

Obama Education secretary: Boycotting schools would 'shock the nation' into changing gun laws | TheHill
Former Education Secretary Arne DuncanArne Starkey DuncanHow Democrats learned to stop worrying and love teachers Obama Education Secretary: US education system is 'top 10 in nothing' Obama Cabinet official: Trump doesn’t want educated workforce MORE on Tuesday elaborated on his suggestion that parents should pull their children out of school to force action on gun violence, saying the idea would “compel lawmakers to change.” Duncan, who served as Education secretary from 2009 to 2015, acknowledged on CNN that the concept is “radical” and “provocative” and contradicts much of what he’s stood for during his time as a public official. “But I just think as a nation we’re at a breaking point,” he said. “What I’m talking about is an idea — for all the difficulty, for all the impracticality about it — I think would shock the nation, would create the kind of tension we’ve lacked, and we need to create tension to compel lawmakers to change,” he added. Obama Education Secretary Arne Duncan defends his call for a school boycott until gun laws change https://t.co/6ZQ8PLelnt pic.twitter.com/irjuYcFnnk Duncan first made the suggestion last week, following the latest school shooting on Friday, where a gunman killed 10 people at a Santa Fe, Texas, high school. He called it "tragically necessary" for parents to protest gun violence by keeping their children out of school. The Texas high school shooting was the latest instance of gun violence at schools this year. In February, a gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. That shooting led to widespread calls for stricter gun laws, with the debate led largely by the students who survived the shooting. Congress later passed a law strengthening the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), but has not addressed other pleas from advocates to limit access to certain types of guns.

Henry George Templar
Henry George Templar (October 18, 1904 – August 5, 1988) was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas.
Education and career
Born in Cowley County, Kansas, Templar received a Bachelor of Laws from Washburn University School of Law in 1927. He was in private practice in Arkansas City, Kansas from 1927 to 1953. He was a deputy oil inspector for the State of Kansas from 1930 to 1932. He was a member of the Kansas House of Representatives from 1933 to 1941. He was a member of the Kansas Senate from 1945 to 1953. He was the United States Attorney for the District of Kansas from 1953 to 1954. He was in private practice in Arkansas City from 1955 to 1962.

as they started to bunch radishes, beets, turnips, carrots. “And don’t leave them loose like that. Tie them tight at the heads, like this. “Twice around with the string, and through. Make bouquets of them, not bunches. And we're going to scrub them.”
High Prairie washed its vegetables desultorily; sometimes not at all. Higgledy piggledy, large and small, they were bunched and sold as vegetables, not objets d’art. Generally there was a tan crust of good earth coating them which the housewife could scrub off at her own kitchen sink. What else had housewives to do!
Selina, scrubbing the carrots vigorously under the pump, thought they emerged from their unaccustomed bath looking like clustered spears of pure gold. She knew better, though, than to say this in Jan’s hearing. Jan, by now, was sullen with bewilderment. He refused to believe that she actually intended to carry out her plan. A woman—a High Prairie farmer’s wife—driving to market like a man! Alone at night in the market place—or at best in one of the cheap rooming houses! By Sunday somehow, mysteriously, the news had filtered through the district. High Prairie attended the Dutch Reformed church with a question hot on its tongue and Selina did not attend the morning services. A fine state of things, and she a widow of a week! High Prairie called at the DeJong farm on Sunday afternoon and was told that the widow was over in the wet west sixteen, poking about with the boy Dirk at her heels. | WIKI |
List of Portuguese Air Force aircraft squadrons
List of Portuguese Air Force aircraft squadrons and flights, past and present.
Squadron designations
The basic aircraft unit of the Portuguese Air Force (PoAF) is the squadron (Esquadra), which is under the command and part of an operational group (Grupo Operacional). These operational groups are dependent of an air base and commonly use a numerical designation related to the air base's own numerical designation. (Example: Grupo Operacional 11 is dependent of Air Base No. 11.)
Since the Air Force's reorganization of 1978, squadrons have used a three digit designation, with some squadrons starting to adopt this designation system in 1977. The first digit indicates the squadron's primary mission, while the second digit indicates the type of aircraft operated, and with the third digit being a sequential number.
Primary mission designation:
* 1 – Instruction squadron;
* 2 – Fighter squadron;
* 3 – Attack squadron;
* 4 – Reconnaissance squadron;
* 5 – Transport squadron;
* 6 – Maritime patrol squadron;
* 7 – Search and Rescue squadron;
* 8 – Special function squadron;
Designation of the type of aircraft operated by the squadron:
* 0 – Fixed-wing aircraft;
* 1 – Mixed;
* 5 – Rotary-wing aircraft;
Until 1977, and prior to this designation system, the PoAF used both numerical designations and names for its flying squadrons. Names were almost exclusively used for small local liaison and transport units and dedicated training squadrons.
The squadrons that used a numerical designation received it based on the air base or base airfield number at which they were based in addition to a sequential number. In example, 51 and 52 Squadron were based at Air Base No. 5 and 122 Squadron was based at Air Base No. 12. Units based at base airfields (Aeródromo Base) received a zero as an additional digit in their numeric designation to help differentiate them from units based at air bases. In example, 501 Squadron was based at Base Airfield No. 5. | WIKI |
Eh? What's That You Say?
I bet I know a set of joints you’ve never heard of before: the ossicular joints.
They’re synovial joints, like the joints in your knees, elbows, shoulders, and knuckles (among others). Synovial joints are the hinge- or ball-and-socket joints that allow us to move: walk, bend at the hip and pick things up with our fingers, shrug a sweater on or off, play tennis, or chase a 3-year-old. Synovial joints mean we can swing our arms or run races or do jumping jacks.
How RA affects our joints
When it comes to rheumatoid arthritis/rheumatoid disease (RD), though, synovial joints are special in a darker way. RD tricks the body’s deadly serious, protective immune system into siccing confused-but-valiant soldier-antibodies on them. Misguided and lethal, the antibodies perceive the synovial tissues (which lubricate, cushion, and protect the joints) as enemies that must be destroyed at all costs.
You know what that means: if they’re not stopped, the antibodies cause inflammation, pain, and the eventual destruction and sometimes, deformity of the joint. More pain–and often, permanent disability–follows.
How … delightful. But back to the ossicular joints. Where are they, anyway?
What are the ossicular joints?
They’re in your ears. Yes, you heard that right. (Forgive me, please?) There are three tiny bones in the inner ear, lying directly behind the eardrum: the malleus (“hammer”), the incus (“anvil”), and the stapes (“stirrup”). Together they’re known as the middle ear ossicles, and without them, you can’t hear a dang thing.
The hammer connects to the eardrum; its other end connects, hinge-like, to the anvil. The anvil and stirrup bones hinge as well. Finally, the stirrup’s flat end connects to an oval opening in the cochlea, the horn-like, fluid-filled portion of the inner ear.
When a sound hits the amazingly sensitive eardrum, it vibrates and moves the middle ear ossicles. Like miniature levers, they cause the flat end of the stirrup to pump against the cochlea, sending waves of sound spiraling through to the brain.
Can RA affect hearing?
The connecting “hinges” between the hammer, anvil, and stirrup bones are actually minuscule synovial joints. As odd as it sounds, RD may attack even these, the smallest joints in the human body.
This misguided, self-destructive attack on the ossicular joints causes inflammation and swelling. It can also thicken the synovial fluid into a hard substance called pannus, causing deformity. All of this interferes with the free movement of those tiny ossicular hinges, keeping them from conducting sound as well as they should. Tinnitus (a constant ringing, hissing, or roaring sound in the ears), reduced or impaired hearing, or even deafness can result.
How common is this?
Fortunately, ear RD is rare, affecting only about 1 percent of patients. Studies show that in some patients, the auditory symptoms track right along with the course of their RD; they’re worse when it flares and get better when it abates.
Treating RA-related hearing loss
Treatment for symptoms of hearing loss related to RA is the same as for all the other synovial joints: treat the underlying disease with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) such as methotrexate, or biologic DMARDs.
As someone who’s endlessly curious, discovering that I have joints in my ears (!) delights me. That my RD can mess them up like it does my fingers, knees, and elbows is sobering, though. It never stops surprising me.

Pycroft's petrel
Pycroft's petrel (Pterodroma pycrofti) is a species of seabird in the petrel and shearwater family Procellariidae.
Origin
The Pycroft's petrel is a species of gadfly petrel (genus Pterodroma), and is thought to be closely related to the Stejneger's petrel. The species was named after Arthur Pycroft, a naturalist from New Zealand who made the first scientific discovery of the species. The species was described by the New Zealand scientist Robert Falla.
Appearance
The Pycroft's petrel is small, measuring 26 cm in length and weighing between 112 - 198 g. The plumage of the Pycroft petrel is grey and white; the upperparts are grey (with a darker M pattern on the back) and the underparts and forehead are white. It has a faint grey band across the breast and a dark grey patch around the eye.
Habitat
The breeding habitat of the Pycroft's petrel is temperate forests with soft soils on offshore islands.
Reproduction
The call given at breeding colonies is ti-ti-ti-ti. The name tītī, however, is also a reference to the very similar Cook's Petrel. The species only breeds in New Zealand, nesting on 11 islands off the North Island. Breeding colonies are found on Stephenson Island, the Poor Knights Islands, Hen and Chickens Islands, Cuvier Island, and Mercury Islands. The Mercury Islands is the stronghold for this species. It used to also breed on Norfolk Island and Lord Howe Island, but has since become extinct there. (Taylor 2000a).
The breeding season begins in October when birds return to their colony; laying is synchronised and happens between 21 November and 10 December. This species lays a single egg in a burrow. The nesting burrows are 30 to(-) long and the nesting chamber is lined with leaves. Both parents incubate the egg, with the male taking the first shift. This first incubation shift lasts 10–14 days. Chicks hatch 45 days after laying. Chicks leave the nest in around 80 days after hatching, and are not fed for the last week they are in the nest.
Diet
Little is known about its diet, but it is known to eat squid and crustaceans. Outside the breeding season it is thought to feed in the Central Pacific, and has been recorded as far as Japan, the United States, United States Minor Outlying Islands, and Wallis and Futuna Islands.
Threats
Chicks and eggs are sometimes eaten by tuatara. The species is threatened by introduced rats, which prey on nesting eggs and nestlings.
Conservation
The species is listed as vulnerable by the IUCN Red List. Efforts to remove rats and other introduced predators from their breeding colonies have resulted in a recovery for this species, and its numbers are now increasing. | WIKI |

Trump "convinced that his opponents committed voter fraud"
The article currently states "Trump refused to concede defeat as he was convinced that his opponents committed voter fraud, and argued that he was the true winner of the election."
I think this should be rephrased as we don't know whether Trump actually believes that his opponents committed voter fraud. It is certainly possible that he genuinely believes this, but equally he may simply be pretending to believe it for perceived political advantage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:39, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Cauchy condensation test
In mathematics, the Cauchy condensation test, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy, is a standard convergence test for infinite series. For a non-increasing sequence of non-negative real numbers, the series converges if and only if the "condensed" series converges. Moreover, if they converge, the sum of the condensed series is no more than twice as large as the sum of the original.
Estimate
The Cauchy condensation test follows from the stronger estimate,
which should be understood as an inequality of extended real numbers. The essential thrust of a proof follows, patterned after Oresme's proof of the divergence of harmonic series.
To see the first inequality, the terms of the original series are rebracketed into runs whose lengths are powers of two, and then each run is bounded above by replacing each term by the largest term in that run. That term is always the first one, since terms are supposed to be non-increasing.
To see the second inequality, these two series are again rebracketed into runs of power of two length, but "offset" as shown below, so that the run of which begins with lines up with the end of the run of which ends with , so that the former stays always "ahead" of the latter.
Integral comparison
The "condensation" transformation recalls the integral variable substitution yielding .
Pursuing this idea, the integral test for convergence gives us, in the case of monotone f, that converges if and only if converges. The substitution yields the integral and another integral test brings us to the condensed series .
Examples
The test can be useful for series where n appears as in a denominator in f. For the most basic example of this sort, the harmonic series is transformed into the series , which clearly diverges.
As a more complex example, take
.
Here the series definitely converges for a > 1, and diverges for a < 1. When a = 1, the condensation transformation gives the series
.
The logarithms 'shift to the left'. So when a = 1, we have convergence for b > 1, divergence for b < 1. When b = 1 the value of c enters.
This result readily generalizes: the condensation test, applied repeatedly, can be used to show that for , the generalized Bertrand series
converges for and diverges for .[1] Here denotes the mth compositional iterate of a function , so that
The lower limit of the sum, , was chosen so that all terms of the series are positive. Notably, these series provide examples of infinite sums that converge or diverge arbitrarily slowly. For instance, in the case of and , the partial sum exceeds 10 only after (a googolplex) terms; yet the series diverges nevertheless.
Schlömilch's Generalization
Let[2] u(n) be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers such that the ratio of successive differences is bounded: there is a positive real number N, for which:
Then, provided that meets the same preconditions as in Cauchy's test, the convergence of the series is equivalent to the convergence of:
Taking so that , the Cauchy condensation test emerges as a special case.

2020–2022 world oil market chronology
2020
On January 3, 2020, WTI finished up 2.2 percent for the week at $63.05, the highest since May, after U.S. air strikes in Iraq, with Brent up 2.6 percent for the week at $68.60. Then oil fell for five straight days before rising again; the U.S. "backed away from military confrontation" with Iran, and stockpiles were higher. WTI fell 6.4 percent for the week, the most since July, and on January 13 had its lowest close since December 3 at $58.08. Brent fell 5.3 percent, the most since August, and then reached its lowest close since December 12 with $64.20.
On February 10, oil reached its lowest level in over a year, with the COVID-19 pandemic a major reason. WTI fell 1.5 percent to $49.57, the lowest since January 2019, and Brent dropped 2.2 percent to $53.27, the lowest since December 2018. Russia had not agreed to further production cuts, though OPEC had a plan. Despite a forecast for lower demand, expectations of OPEC action led to three days of gains, with WTI reaching $51.42 and Brent $56.34. WTI ended February 28 down more than 16 percent for the week, the most in 11 years, falling 5 percent to $44.76 on February 28. Brent closed at $50.52. Both were the lowest since December 2018. Warmer than usual weather was one reason but the major factor was concerns about economic slowdown due to COVID-19.
During the 2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war, on March 8 oil fell over 30 percent. WTI reached $31.13, down 24.6 percent, with Brent $34.36, down 24.1 percent. Both were the lowest since 2016 and the one-day decline was the largest since 1991. On a week when oil fell the most since 2014, Russia rejected plans by OPEC and others to help calm the oil market, and Saudi Arabia was expected to increase production.
With worldwide demand continuing to decline due to COVID-19, oil fell for a fifth straight week at the end of March and any actions taken by Saudi Arabia or Russia would be inconsequential. During the last full week of March WTI fell about 5 percent to end at $21.51, with Brent down 7.6 percent for the week to $24.93. The price of Canadian heavy crude dipped below $5 per barrel.
In the first quarter, the percentage loss was the worst ever, 66.5 percent for WTI and 65.6 percent for Brent. Then on April 2, WTI jumped 24.7 percent to $25.32 and Brent rose 21 percent to $29.94, the biggest percentage increase in a single day ever, in anticipation of significant production cuts. OPEC agreed to production cuts on April 12; these would be greater in 2020 than in future years. U.S. crude supplies had risen for 12 weeks, including the largest increase for a week as of April 10. On April 14, the difference between the front month contract and contracts for later delivery were the most since 2009 for WTI, which traded $14.45 below the September contract. On April 17, May WTI was $18.27 but June WTI was $28.08. For Brent, the June contract was $28.08 while October was $35.95. The difference between the two was less because Brent did not require as much storage capacity. On April 20, the front month contract for WTI fell below zero, an unprecedented event. With the contract for May delivery expiring on April 21, the contract for June delivery became the new front month contract; on April 22 after settling at $13.78, WTI was the lowest since the 1990s.
On May 6 WTI fell after five days of increases, settling at $23.99 a day after a 20 percent jump to the highest close since April 17 with expectations of higher demand as countries around the world eased restrictions. Brent finished at $29.72 a day after a 14 percent jump. U.S. crude inventories were up for the 15th week, but by less than expected.
On May 21, WTI settled at $33.92 and Brent at $36.06, both the highest since March 10. U.S. crude supplies were down for the second week, and OPEC production was down. Positive economic news from Europe and the United States also contributed, although possible tensions with China limited gains.
WTI fell more than 8 percent on June 11, the most since April 27, and ended the week at $36.26 with its first down week in seven weeks. WTI and Brent both ended the week down over 8 percent. OPEC production cuts could not overcome COVID-19 concerns. For the week ending June 19, WTI climbed nearly 10 percent to $39.75 as OPEC made sure countries were complying with goals for output decreases. WTI fell nearly 6 percent June 24 then rose slightly the next day to close at $38.72, while Brent fell more than 5 percent and rose slightly to $41.05, in a week where both have fallen nearly 3 percent. Some U.S. states were delaying reopening, and others were going back to lockdowns. Also, U.S. supplies climbed for the third week while U.S. crude production was down 20 percent since early March. OPEC nations were continuing their production cuts. A negative forecast for the world economy also affected oil prices.
On July 15, after the largest drop in U.S. crude supplies of the year, WTI reached $41.20 and Brent $43.79, the highest since March 6 for both. That same day, OPEC and others said they planned to decrease production cuts in August but FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga said it might not be the time for that given the chances of more COVID-19 related lockdowns or problems with the world economy.
The first week of August ended with WTI up 2.4 percent to $41.22 and Brent up 2 percent to $44.40. Production cuts took effect on August 1 but U.S. president Trump signed executive orders which added to tensions with China and helped drive prices down.
In the third week of August Brent fell 1 percent to $44.35, while WTI ended the week at $42.34 after the number of U.S. oil rigs rose after falling for three weeks. COVID-19 concerns have led to expectations of lower demand.
Low demand for oil in the U.S., lower U.S. unemployment, a strong U.S. dollar and losses in the stock market contributed to WTI falling nearly 4 percent on September 4 to $39.77, the first time below $40 since July. WTI ended the week down 7.5 percent after four up weeks, and Brent finished the week at $42.66, down nearly 7 percent. Demand for gasoline had recovered more quickly than demand for other petroleum products, and Michael Tran of RBC Capital said supplies fell at a "manic pace" over two months. Other products still had high inventories. Bad news about U.S. unemployment, a strong dollar, lower expected demand, and higher U.S. crude supplies contributed to the second down week for WTI, which fell 6.1 percent to $37.33. Brent fell 6.6 percent for the week to $39.83. This was the first time oil fell for two straight weeks since April.
For the week ending September 25, oil fell for the third time in four weeks due to COVID-19 concerns, fear that the U.S. recovery would slow down, and a higher U.S. dollar. WTI ended at $40.25, down 2.6 percent, and Brent was down 2.9 percent, with the most active contract ending at $42.41.
As a result of U.S. President Donald Trump being diagnosed with COVID-19, WTI fell 4.3 percent on October 2 to finish the week down 8 percent at $37.05, the lowest since September 8. Brent dropped 4.1 percent and 7.4 percent for the week to $39.27, the lowest since June 12. Continued concerns about the pandemic reducing demand also contributed even as U.S. supplies fell. An increase in U.S. inventories and an end to negotiations on COVID-19 relief in the U.S. contributed to another drop on October 7, with WTI down to $39.95 and Brent at $41.51. Increased imports from China helped oil rise by 2 percent on October 13, and expected production cuts by OPEC and allies led to a continued rise on October 14 to $41.04 for WTI and $43.32 for Brent. COVID-19 cases and high inventories, however, made the trend unlikely to continue.
Restrictions in Europe due to COVID-19 and expected delays for production cuts by OPEC and allies caused oil to rise November 2 for the first time in four trading days. WTI jumped from $33.64 to $36.81 and Brent rose from $35.74 to $38.97.
WTI and Brent both reached their highest settlements since September on November 18, with WTI at $41.82 and Brent at $44.34. One major factor was good news about COVID-19 vaccines. U.S. crude inventories rose more than expected, and uncertainty about OPEC and COVID-19 lockdowns contributed to lower prices the next day. Just before Thanksgiving, gas was $2.11, the lowest at that time of year since 2016 and 49 cents lower than a year earlier.
OPEC predicted lower demand on December 14, partly as a result of COVID-19 restrictions in Europe and the United States, and the IEA did the same on December 15. However, demand appeared likely to rise in China, and a pandemic relief package appeared more likely in the United States, while COVID-19 vaccines became available. WTI ended December 15 at $47.62, the highest since February, and Brent reached $50.76, the highest since March.
WTI ended 2020 at $48.52, down 20.5 percent in its second down year in three years but up 7 percent for the month and more than 20 percent for the quarter. Brent finished at $51.80, down 21.5 percent for the year but up 8.9 percent for December and 26.5 percent for the quarter. A weak dollar and lower than expected U.S. inventories kept oil high.
2021
After Saudi Arabia promised further production cuts, WTI reached $51.28 on January 7 and Brent climbed as high as $54.90, the highest since before COVID-19. On January 14, a weaker dollar and an expected COVID-19 relief package helped oil move slightly higher, with WTI at $53.57 and Brent at $56.42, though Europe was experiencing more lockdowns and China had a higher number of COVID-19 cases, both making lower demand likely.
WTI finished the first week of February up 8.9 percent to $56.85 and Brent was up 7.8 percent to $59.34, the highest since January 2020 for both. COVID-19 vaccines were a big reason for positive economic news, though analyst Eugen Weinberg of Commerzbank believed optimism was too high.
On February 16, WTI closed above $60 for the first time since January 2020, with reasons that included Saudi Arabia production cuts, increased vaccine distribution, and the closing of refineries and production cuts resulting from the 2021 Texas power crisis. The Texas situation resulted in contango for WTI for the first time in seven months, meaning futures with earlier dates had lower prices. On February 23, Brent reached $65.37, the highest since January 2020.
After OPEC and others agreed to continue production cuts into April, WTI finished March 4 at $63.83, the highest since April 2019. Brent reached $66.74. Prices were increasing despite high U.S. crude supplies, though the cold weather continued to affect gasoline and distillate.
The third week of March ended with the largest loss for a week since October, with COVID-19 increases in Europe a big reason. WTI had fallen as low as $58.94 in a week where it fell 6,4 percent and lost 7.1 percent in one day. Brent finished the week at $64.53, down 6.8 percent for the week one day after falling 6.9 percent, the most in a day since June. Prices recovered March 19 only because of attacks on Yemen.
On March 24, after a significant decline the previous day due to COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe, the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction caused prices to recover. The news of the fifth straight week of increases in U.S. crude inventory had little effect.
WTI and Brent ended March down nearly 4 percent. With the April 1 announcement that OPEC and other nations would increase production, WTI rose 3.9 percent to close at $61.45 and Brent increased 3.4 percent to $64.86.
Oil reached its highest level since March 17 on April 14, with WTI at $63.15 and Brent at $66.58 as U.S. crude inventories fell and OPEC forecast higher demand and more economic growth. Optimism about the end of the pandemic was a factor. Positive economic news in the U.S. contributed to an increase in the price of oil for April, with WTI ending the month at $63.58, up 2.3 percent for the week and 7.5 percent for the month, while Brent finished at $67.25, up 1.7 percent and 5.8 percent. OPEC production increases and continued optimism about the worldwide economy offset news of increases in COVID-19 cases in India.
A positive demand forecast for China and the United States, along with lower U.S. crude inventories, led to the highest settlement for WTI since March, at $66.08, and Brent, at $69.32.
With continued good economic news in the U.S. as well as lower supplies, WTI had five straight gains ending May 27, with the highest settlement since October 2018, and ended the week and the month up 4.3 percent to $66.32. Brent finished May at $69.63, the highest since March 11, up 4.8 percent for the week and 3.5 percent for the month. The price of gas was $3.03, the highest for Memorial Day since 2014.
Although countries increased oil production in May, demand forecasts were high and on June 8 WTI closed above $70, with Brent at $72.22, the highest since May 2019. On June 25 WTI ended the week at $74.05, up 3.9 percent for the week, the fifth week in a row with an increase. Brent ended at $75.38 the highest since October 2018. All of this happened despite OPEC and allies considering production increases, because of very positive demand forecasts during a worldwide recovery. The difference between WTI and Brent narrowed due to stronger demand in the United States.
While OPEC and allies were expected to reach a deal, they had not by July 2. WTI finished the week at $75.16, up 1.5 percent for the week, with Brent at $76.17, up 1.1 percent. After the July 4 holiday, WTI briefly climbed to its highest price in six years before falling 2.4 percent to $73.37, while Brent fell 3.4 percent to $74.53. Some members of the cartel were expected to produce more than others, and the group cancelled its planned July 4 meeting. Gas was $3.12, the most in seven years and 44 percent higher than a year earlier.
On July 18 OPEC and allies agreed to increase production. The next day WTI fell 7.5 percent for its biggest one-day loss since September and reached the lowest close since May at $66.42, after the biggest loss for a week since March, a 3.7 percent drop. Brent fell nearly 7 percent to $68.62.
On August 9, oil fell more than 2 percent, continuing losses from the previous week, as COVID-19 restrictions in China and other parts of Asia threatened to slow demand. WTI reached its lowest level since May before recovering to $66.48, still the lowest in 3 weeks, while Brent fell to $69.04.
After seven days of losses, the most since 2019, oil jumped 6 percent on August 23, with WTI at $65.64 after a 9 percent decline the previous week and its lowest close since May 20. Brent finished at $68.65. Both had their worst week since October, with concern over the Delta variant, increased U.S. production, and negative economic news from China. Over the next three days, the increase in oil prices erased the previous week's losses. WTI climbed to $68.36 and Brent to $72.25 on August 25. Fuel demand in the U.S. was the highest since before the pandemic, U.S. crude inventories were the lowest since January 2020, and China reported fewer new COVID-19 cases.
For the week ending September 3, WTI rose slightly to $69.29 and Brent finished at $72.61. Losses due to negative economic news related to the Delta variant were cancelled out by Hurricane Ida stopping Gulf of Mexico oil production.
A strong dollar, Saudi Arabia price cuts and expected lower demand contributed to a 1.4 percent drop to $68.35 for WTI on September 7, However, with three-fourths of Gulf of Mexico production still not resumed, WTI finished the week at $69.72 and Brent at $72.92, both climbing 2.3 percent on September 10. Also contributing to an up week was a telephone call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, a sign expected to mean more trade. The previous day oil fell 1 percent when Chinese government announced the release of reserves.
The week ending September 24 was the fifth week of increases for WTI, ending at $73.98, and the third for Brent, which closed at $78.09, the highest since October 2018. Supply disruptions included Hurricane Ida and problems with OPEC and associated countries.
On October 8, at the end of its seventh straight up week, the longest streak since 2013, WTI reached $80 a barrel for the first time since 2014. Brent finished the day at $83.32 after reaching a three-year high earlier in the week. Despite higher U.S. crude inventories, global supply remained tight even though OPEC and others agreed to a small production increase earlier in the week; Reuters was told the reason for not increasing production more was a possible increase in COVID-19 infections that could hurt demand. The United States Department of Energy declined to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Gas was $3.26.
On October 21, one day after gains resulting from a report of low U.S. inventories, especially at Cushing, Oklahoma, oil fell significantly due to a forecast of a warmer than normal U.S. winter. WTI fell to $82.50. Brent had reached $86.10, the highest since October 2018, before falling to $84.61. Another factor was the decision by traders to sell when the price reached $86. Also, the prices of coal and natural gas were down. The next week, after peaking once again, Brent had its first down week in two months, ending at $84.38, with WTI also down for the week at $83.57. Higher U.S. stocks and the possibility of a production increase by Iran were major factors.
On November 3, WTI fell to $80.86 and Brent fell to $81.99, with both falling the most in one day since August. Crude stocks were higher though stocks at Cushing were still the lowest in three years. The next week was the third down week for WTI, which ended at $80.79, and Brent, which fell to $82.17. The dollar was strong, President Joe Biden was considering releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and the Federal Reserve was considering increasing interest rates to deal with inflation. Also, the U.S. oil and gas rig count was the highest since April 2020.
Four weeks of losses happened for the first time since March 2020. On November 19, with news of a COVID lockdown in Austria and the possibility of more lockdowns in Europe, WTI fell over 4 percent to $75.37, lowest since October 7. Brent reached $78.15 for the first time since October 1. Gas was $3.41.
Concerns over the Omicron variant caused yet another loss for the week, with WTI down more than 10 percent to $68.15, with a 13 percent drop just on November 26, the most in one day since April 2020. Brent fell nearly 12 percent to $72.72 and was down over 8 percent for the week. The losses cancelled out gains earlier in the week resulting from OPEC and allies considering production cuts after strategic releases.
For the week ending December 10, WTI and Brent both had their first up week in seven weeks, despite falling about 2 percent on December 9. Reasons included encouraging news about the effectiveness of vaccines against the Omicron variant and the largest year-to-year U.S. inflation increase since 1982. Omicron was blamed for a loss the next week, with WTI finishing at $70.86 and Brent at $73.52, both down 1.4 percent.
WTI ended December at $75.21 while Brent finished at $77.78. Increases in COVID-19 cases worldwide led to a drop after several days of increases.
2022
In the first week of the year, oil rose more than 5 percent with WTI ending at $78.90 and Brent finishing at $81.75. Both were the highest since November. U.S. crude inventories fell for six straight weeks, reaching their lowest level since September, very cold weather in North Dakota and Alberta led to lower production and the closing of the Keystone Pipeline, and protests in Kazakhstan and maintenance in Libya meant lower production in those areas. Oil fell slightly on January 7 due to negative U.S. employment numbers. However, with the Omicron variant appearing to be less serious, predictions of lower demand were no longer a concern. The next week, WTI increased 6.3 percent to $83.82, with Brent rising 5.4 percent to $86.06. Reasons included the Russia-Ukraine situation and the Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. On January 18, WTI reached $85.43 and Brent hit $87.51, both the highest since October 2014, after Houthi attacks on the United Arab Emirates. U.S. crude and fuel inventories rose and oil prices fell, still finishing higher for the 5th week.
In the last full week of January, WTI reached $88.84, the highest in seven years, before settling at $86.82. Brent reached $91.70, highest since October 2014, before falling to $90.03. Both had the most up weeks since October. On February 3 WTI traded for $90 a barrel for the first time since October 2014. Cold weather and possible production decreases were major reasons.
With U.S. crude stocks at their lowest since October 2018, and a record for product supplied, along with continued concerns about Russia and Ukraine, as well as possible supply problems in the United Arab Emirates, WTI rose to $89.66 and Brent to $91.55. The increase in WTI reduced the amount by which later contracts were trading for less than those for front-month. Oil finished the eighth up week at another record, up 3 percent for the day, surpassing the record set earlier in the week, with WTI at $93.19 and Brent at $94.44. A strong economic recovery was expected to mean high demand.
After Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Brent reached $105.79, the first time above $105 since August 2014, before settling at $99.08. WTI hit $100.54, the highest since September 2014, before falling to $92.81. Biden announced plans to release more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and U.S. crude inventories increased more than expected. On March 1 Brent jumped more than 7 percent and closed at $104.97, highest since August 2014, and WTI rose 8 percent for its biggest one-day increase since November 2020, settling at $103.41, highest since July 2014. The increases happened despite International Energy Agency releases of oil from strategic reserves. U.S. crude stocks fell the previous week. On March 3 Brent reached $120 for the first time since 2012 and WTI went over $116 for the first time since 2008 but Brent ended the day down more than 2 percent at $110.47 and WTI fell 2.6 percent to $107.67. Brent ended the week up 20 percent.
As a result of fears of countries not buying Russian oil or natural gas, on March 6 WTI reached $130.50, the highest since July 2008, before settling at $119.40, up more than 3 percent and the highest settlement since September 2008. Brent reached $139.13, also the highest since July 2008, before settling at $123.21, after the US said it was in “active discussions” to ban Russian crude imports. The price of gas went over $4 for the first time since 2008. Then on March 9, after United Arab Emirates ambassador to the United States Yousef Al Otaiba said he would encourage OPEC to increase production, oil fell the most in one day in two years, WTI dropping 12 percent to below $109, and Brent 13 percent to $111. The next day WTI rose 5.7 percent before ending the day down 2.5 percent to $106.02, and Brent rose 6.5 percent but settled down 1.6 percent at $109.33. This came after UAE Energy Minister Suhail Al Mazroui said OPEC would continue with its previous agreement rather than significantly increasing production. However, more stockpile releases were possible, and the U.S. was working on a deal with Iran and on increased oil from Venezuela, all of which would increase supply. Some believed the decline was due to profit taking. While both Brent and WTI rose more than 3 percent on March 11, Brent ended the week down 4.8 percent at $112.67 and WTI was down 5.7 percent to $109.33. With Russian oil banned by the U.S. and others, other countries were not expected to make up for the loss, at least not in the short term.
On March 14, Brent fell more than 5 percent to $106.90 while WTI fell nearly 6 percent to $103.01, the lowest in two weeks, as supplies worldwide appeared likely to increase, with positive news from talks to end the war. The next day an increase in COVID-19 in China contributed to Brent falling 6.5 percent to $99.91 and WTI falling 6.4 percent to $96.44, both below $100 for the first time since February. Oil climbed higher due to lack of progress on talks between Russia and Ukraine, but WTI finished the week at $104.70 and Brent settled a $107.93, both down 4.2 percent for the week.
For the week ending March 25, WTI rose more than 10 percent to $113.90 and Brent finished up nearly 12 percent at $120.65. Houthi rebels attacked a Saudi oil depot, while some European Union countries refused to boycott Russian oil after the U.S. and the U.K. had done so, U.S. drilling rigs increased, and the Caspian Pipeline Consortium had an interruption due to bad weather which ended later in the week.
After Biden announced the release of 180 million barrels from the Strategic Reserve over a period of six months starting in May, WTI ended March down 7 percent to $100.28, with Brent falling more than 5 percent to $105.16. For the week, WTI finished at $99.27, the lowest since March 16 and down 12.8 percent for the week. Brent ended the week at $104.39, down 11.1 percent. Both percentage drops were the most for a week since April 2020. International Energy Agency members met April 1 and agreed to further strategic reserve releases. OPEC and others agreed to production increases in May.
The first full week of April ended with WTI at $98.26 and Brent at $102.78, both down for the second week. U.S. rigs were up for the third week, and lockdowns in China continued, while the United States Congress voted to ban Russian oil.
On April 12 oil rose 6 percent, followed by a gain of nearly 4 percent on April 13, with WTI finishing at $104.25 and Brent at $108.78. While U.S. oil stocks were up and the IEA expected lower worldwide demand as production increases made up for the loss of Russian oil, talks between Russia and Ukraine were not going well. Nearly a week later WTI reached $108.21, highest since March 25, before both WTI and Brent fell more than 5 percent on April 19. For the week ending April 15, U.S. crude supplies fell by the most in a year causing a slight increase in WTI to $102.75, while Brent fell further to $106.80. WTI ended the week at $102.07 and Brent finished at $106.65, both down almost 5 percent for the week with economic reports suggesting slow growth worldwide, especially in China with some cities in COVID-19 lockdowns. Another factor was an expected stronger dollar resulting from Federal Reserve interest rate increases.
WTI ended April at $104.69 with Brent at $107.14; both rose for the week and ended the month higher for the fifth time. Russian supply concerns and expectations that Germany would stop imports from Russia were factors. However, China's lockdown continued. Despite concerns about slow economic growth, oil ended the first week of May higher for the second week, with WTI at $109.77 ad Brent at $112.39. OPEC and others did not intend to help as possible European Union sanctions on Russian oil threatened supplies. The next week WTI finished at $110.49, up for the third week and the highest close since March 25, while Brent finished down for the week for the first time in three weeks at $111.55. U.S. gasoline stockpiles had fallen for the sixth week, and gas was at a record $4.43. Russia put sanctions on several European countries, and the situation in China was not as bad as feared. On May 17 and 18, oil fell due to the possible ending of restrictions on Venezuela and comments by Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell about possible negative economic consequences from dealing with inflation. Oil then rose again due to a weak dollar. Brent finished May 19 at $112.04 while WTI was at $112.21.
In the final week of May, Brent jumped 6 percent to $119.43, while WTI climbed 1.5 percent to $115.07. Higher demand, including the Memorial Day weekend in the United States, was a major factor. The next week, the European Union agreed to cut imports from Russia by 90 percent by the end of the year and Shanghai ended its lockdown. The Energy Information Administration reported U.S. crude production in March was the highest since November. Then OPEC and other countries agreed to a production increase, but U.S. crude inventories fell, so WTI finished June 2 higher at $116.87, with Brent at $117.61.
Though both fell on June 10 with news about U.S. inflation and the expectation the Federal Reserve will act "aggressively", along with new COVID restrictions in China, WTI finished the first full week of June up 1.2 percent to $120.67, with Brent rising 1.9 percent to $122.01. On June 11, the price of gas exceeded $5 for the first time.
With concerns about possible Federal Reserve actions, oil fell June 22. WTI reached $101.53, lowest since May 11, and Brent fell as low as $107.03, lowest since May 19. Both recovered after positive comments by Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
Brent and WTI both ended June lower, the first down month since November. The next day both rose more than 2 percent, with Brent finishing at $111.63 and WTI at $108.43. U.S. manufacturing was down, but crude and fuel supplies were also lower due to problems in Libya and an expected strike in Norway. The first full week of July was a down week as central banks increased interest rates leading to recession concerns and China faced the possibility of more lockdowns. Positive jobs news in the United States actually increased the likelihood of the Federal Reserve increasing rates further. On July 5 Brent fell $10.73, the third-largest fall in a day since it began trading in 1988. Brent ended the week at $107.02, down 4.1 percent, and WTI finished at $104.79. With continued recession concerns, the next week was the third down week for Brent, which fell 5.5 percent to $101.16 and the second down week for WTI, which fell 6.9 percent to $97.59. After both fell below the last closing before the Ukraine War, both were up 2 percent on July 15 due to doubts Saudi Arabia or even OPEC could increase production. On July 22 WTI ended below $95 for the first time since April in its third down week, with concerns over more interest rate increases and resumed production in Libya. Brent finished at $103.60, higher for the first time in six weeks as Asian demand showed signs of increasing.
Recession fears, lower demand for gasoline due to high prices, and an unexpectedly large increases in U.S. inventories sent oil prices down more than 2 percent on August 4. Brent finished the day at $94.12 and WTI at $88,54, in both cases the lowest since February. Also, the previous day OPEC and others vowed to increase production in September. Gas fell below $4 for the first time since March on August 11. The next day Brent ended at $98.15 and WTI at $92.05. Both finished the week up more than 3 percent. A pipeline repair in the Gulf of Mexico was completed, meaning gains the previous day were cancelled out. A strong dollar and lower fuel prices resulted in lower import prices, and inflation expectations were down. The U.S. oil rig count increased. Recession fears and a strong dollar led to oil falling 1.5 percent the next week, with Brent at $96.72 and WTI at $90.77. The following week, the possibility of OPEC production cuts led to Brent rising 4.4 percent to $100.99 and WTI climbing 2.5 percent to $93.06, even with U.S. interest rates expected to rise further. The next week, Brent fell 7.9 percent to $93.02 and WTI dropped 6.7 percent to $86.87 despite both rising on September 2 due to some sources expecting production cuts by OPEC and other nations. COVID restrictions in China and negative economic news worldwide were major factors, though good economic news in the United States made lower interest rate increases more likely.
In the first full week of September, Brent reached its lowest level since January before finishing the week down slightly at $92.84, with WTI also down slightly at $86.79. Both rose about 4 percent on September 9 due to concerns that Russia would stop selling oil to Europe if price caps were imposed as well as OPEC and others announcing a small decrease in output. However, a large interest rate increase by the European Central Bank and China COVID restrictions kept prices down. A strong dollar and the prospect of future interest rate increases caused oil to fall nearly 2 percent the next week, with Brent finishing at $91.35 and WTI at $85.11. Lower interest rate increases than expected in England, higher demand in China and concerns over supplies from Russia helped prices to rise slightly on September 22 after a decline due to a U.S. interest rate increase the previous day. Brent finished at $90.46, with WTI at $83.49, before a 4 percent drop for Brent to $86.15 and a 5 percent drop for WTI to $78.74 (the first time below $80 all year) the next day due to recession fears. Gas was $3.69. For the first time in five weeks, oil rose for the week ending September 30, with Brent ending at $87.96, and WTI finished at $79.49 after both reached their lowest level in nine months earlier in the week. This happened despite OPEC September output being its highest since 2020. Other factors included the dollar reaching the highest in 20 years, slower growth because of recession concerns and predictions that OPEC and others would reduce output.
After OPEC and other nations agreed to lower their output target by 2 million barrels per day, the most since 2020, oil reached its highest level in more than a month. Brent finished the first week of October up 11 percent at $97.92 while WTI jumped 17 percent to $92.64. The gains were the most in a week since March. The next week oil fell due to low demand in China because of COVID, a strong dollar and U.S. recession worries. Brent fell more than 6 percent to $91.63 and WTI lost nearly 8 percent to finish at $85.61. Brent jumped 2 percent to $93.50 the next week but WTI fell slightly to $85.05. Unconfirmed reports that China was easing restrictions outweighed recession concerns. On October 26 Brent jumped more than 2 percent to $95.69 and WTI rose 3 percent to $87.91 due to the weak dollar and the lowest net U.S. imports ever as well as higher than expected increase in U.S. crude stocks. Brent and WTI both finished October higher, the first increase for a month since May, due to the actions by OPEC and others. WTI ended the week up 5 percent at $92.61, with all of the increase happening November 4, and Brent was up about 3 percent for the week at $98.57. More interest rate increases were likely but higher U.S. unemployment would mean those increases would be smaller. China appeared likely to lessen COVID restrictions even with case numbers rising. The next week oil fell due to higher U.S. inventories, but lower U.S. inflation and a weak dollar limited losses. WTI finished at $88.96 and Brent at $95.99.
Oil fell for a second week, with Brent down 9 percent to $87.62 and WTI down 10 percent to $80.08, with higher COVID numbers in China, fears of U.S. interest rate increases and a strong dollar. The current WTI contract was trading lower than the second month contract for the first time since 2021. The next week was the third down week for both Brent, down nearly 5 percent to $83.63, and WTI, finishing almost 5 percent lower at $76.28. Brent joined WTI with second months trading at less than the front month due to oversupply. Both also reached 10-month lows during the week as COVID worsened in China and a price cap on Russian oil was discussed.
The first full week of December, oil fell about 10 percent for the week, the most since April, with negative economic news from the United States, Europe and China and the restarting of the Keystone Pipeline after a leak. Recession fears cancelled gains from expected production cuts by Russia and caused WTI to fall to $71.02 and Brent to reach $76.10. The next week Brent rose by the most since October but fell more than 2 percent to $79.04 on December 16 with news that the U.S. would continue interest rate increases, and the U.K. and European Central Bank raising rates during the week. The Keystone pipeline outage increased prices for heavier grades but did not affect the benchmarks. Plans for the U.S. to buy oil to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve also helped prices rise, with WTI up for the week to $74.29. The following week, with Russia threatening to cut output due to a price cap, oil rose the most in a week since October, with Brent reaching $83.92 and WTI up to $79.56. Brent finished the year at $85.91, with WTI at $80.26. | WIKI |
How to use latest HandsOnTable with React
Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fc66f9422e8>
Hi,
I just want to ask how to use the latest HandsOnTable version with the current React wrapper? Coz the React wrapper for HOT is currently not using the latest version of HOT.
Should I just install the latest HOT and the React Wrapper for HOT would automatically detect that?
Thanks!
Hi @hugh
You have a two options at least.
You can install v8.0.0-beta.2 that is currently published to NPM - https://www.npmjs.com/package/handsontable/v/8.0.0-beta.2
Or you have to wait to we release our React wrapper updated. Here is a link to PR - https://github.com/handsontable/react-handsontable/pull/191
Hi @piotr.nowak,
So basically, I should install handsontable v8.0.0-beta.2 and also the React wrapper as well?
So even if the React wrapper is using v7, the handsontable will just take effect over it?
Thanks!
Yes, it uses Handsontable from your package.json. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

International School of Kenya
The International School of Kenya (ISK) is a private international school for pre-kindergarten to grade 12 students located in Nairobi, Kenya. It was established in 1976 and has a 25-hectare campus.
The grounds were originally a coffee plantation, and today, only a few of the original buildings remain. High school students can study for a North American high school diploma or the International Baccalaureate Diploma, while younger students study a North American curriculum.
The institution is accredited by the MSA. ISK is a member of the Association of International Schools in Africa (AISA), The Council of International Schools, and Round Square. They are also a carbon-neutral school.
International School of Kenya was ranked 7th out of the top 100 best high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2003, based upon quality of education, student engagement, strength and activities of alumni, school profile, internet and news visibility.
Organization
The school was formed from the Nairobi International School (NIS), but financial troubles prompted the United States Embassy and Canadian High Commission to take over operations of the school in 1976, renaming it the International School of Kenya.
ISK is divided into three schools: the Elementary School which teaches students from pre-kindergarten to grade 5, the Middle School, which teaches grades 6-8, and the High School which teaches grades 9-12.
Each school has its own principal and student counselor, overseen by a board of directors, and largely its own teaching staff, though some subject staff is shared. Teachers are predominantly from Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Facilities
The school offers many facilities, including an arts center, a 547-seat amphitheater, a library, a media center, gymnasiums, a swimming pool, locker rooms, multi-use sports courts, a covered basketball and volleyball court, science laboratories, and two natural grass playing fields.
There are facilities able to accommodate up to 1,200 students, with three separate areas being dedicated to each school.
Students
The student body of approximately 1000 represents more than 65 different nationalities, including the United States, Canada, Kenya, Denmark, Holland, China, Japan, Vietnam, and Brazil.
Tuition
Tuition varies by grade level. The fees for the 2023-24 school year are as follows.
Notable alumni
Notable alumni of ISK include:
* Dan Eldon, English photojournalist
* Karen Graham, Canadian author and dietitian
Controversies
In 2021, the Kenya Revenue Authority won 1.4 billion Kenyan shillings from the school in unpaid taxes from teacher salaries since 2016.
In 2023, Katherine Musee, a former teacher, sued the school over alleged pay inequalities and separate payrolls for expatriate teachers and local teachers. | WIKI |
Redwood County, Minnesota

History
The Minnesota Legislature created the county on February 8, 1862, with Redwood Falls as the county seat. It was named for the Redwood River, which flows eastward through the county.
Geography

how do i uninstall the google toolbar? it started up dating during the middle of the game and caused huge problems- then i looked at it and i had to hide the norton antivirus bar to hide all of the google stuff (i think that's just a really bad programming bug) A few minutes ago I r. went to the control panel and then delete programs and deleted the google tool bar guess advertisements were popping up every few seconds and taking up over half of my screen. Now that the tool bar is deleted I haven't had any advertisements pop up in the last few minutes. A tremendous improvement as far as I am concerned. And unlike a virus I could easily remove it thanks to Google furnishing an Uninstall that works nicely.Nice thing is I was able to keep Google as if necessary I would have uninstalled that too. | WIKI |

lect evidence with a view to canonization. The body was translated in 1405 "de mandato Domini Papje", and Boniface XI by a Bull, the original of which was found in the Vatican Archives by J. A. Twemlow a few 7 years ago, formally canonized him. The holy prior was a very popular saint in the North of Eng- land. A rich shrine had been built over his tomb, from which the people begged Henry VIII to with- hold his hand; but all in vain. "Lest the people should be reduced in the offering of their money", the shrine was pulled down and destroyed. Sem- pringham saw the beginning by St. Gilbert, and the wonderful growth of the only pre- Reformat ion insti- tute of distinctly English origin. Here, too, Peter de Langtoft, the historian, lived and wrote his well- known works. Within the walls of Merton Abbey Thomas of Canterbury, when a youth, received his education and made his profession as a canon regular before he was consecrated archbishop. Chic Priory, whence came William de Corbeil, Archbishop of Can- terbury, was renowned for the learning of its religious clerics: "clerici litteratura insignes". Thurgarton was the home of that spiritual writer, Walter Hilton, who, about the year 1400, wrote the "Scala Perfec- tionis", usually attributed to some Carthusian monk. St. Frideswide's, founded for canons regular at Castle Tower by Robert d'Oiley, and translated to Osney in 1149, became, as Cardinal Newman tells us, "a nur- sery for secular students, subject to the Chancellor's jurisdiction". At Lilleshall Prion- lived John Myrk, the author of "Instructions for Parish Priests", a work written in irregular couplets, doubtless that they might be easily committed to memory. It has been edited by the Early English Text Society. The fol- lowing verses, where Myrk gives excellent and ex- plicit directions for behaviour in church, are a fair sample of the author's style: —
That when they do to Church fare,
Then bid them leave their many words.
Their idle speech and nice border [jests]
And put away all vanity
And say their Pater Noster and their Ave.
None in the church stand shall,
Xor lean to pillar nor to wall.
But fair on knees they shall them set,
Kneeling down upon the flat,
And pray < iod with heart meek
To give them grace and mercy eke.
Suffer them to make no here [noise]
But aye to be in their prayer.
Some twenty-five years ago the canons regular of (!)'■ Lateran Congregation returned to Bodmin, Corn- wall, where before the Reformation their brethren the Austin Canons had a beautiful priory in honour of St. Mary and St. Petrock. The new priory is now the residence of the provincial, or visitor, the novi- tiate-house for England, and the centre from which several Missions — as Truro, St. Ives, and Newquay — are served by canons regular.
Although when the storm of persecution came and the religious houses were either seized or surrendered, the canons regular were not as faithful to the Church and their profession as might have been desired, yet there were nol wanting many who preferred to lay down their lives rather than bet ray their Faith or give up < tod's property. Of this number were W. Wold, Prior of Bridlington, the Sub-Prior of Walsingham, with sixteen canons, and Ven. Laurence Vaux. The canonical order is now represented in England by Premonstratensians at Crowley, Manchester, Spal- ding, and Storrington. The Canons Regular of the I.ateran Congregation are at Bodmin, Truro, St. Ives, and Newquay, in Cornwall; at Spettisbury and Swan- age, in Dorsetshire: at Stroud (ireen and Eltham. in 1 ondon. Besides the occupations of the regular life at home and the public recitation of the Divine Office
in choir, they are chiefly employed in serving mis- sions, preaching retreats, supplying for priests who ask their service, and hearing confessions, either as ordinary or extraordinary confessors to convents or other religious communities.
The canonical order must have been introduced into the New World soon after the discovery of that country by Columbus. In fact, tradition tells us that some canons regular from Spain were his companions in one or other of his voyages. Certain it is that at the general chapter of the Lateran Congregation held at Ravenna in 1558, at the request of many Spanish canons, Don Francis de Agala, a professed canon regu- lar from Spain, who for some ten years had already laboured in the newly-discovered country, was created vicar-general in America, with powers to gather into communities all the members of the canonical insti- tute who were then dispersed in those parts, and the obligation to report to the authorities of the order. At present there are canons regular of the Lateran Congregation in the Argentine, and in Canada the Canons of the Immaculate Conception serve different missions. The Preinonstratensian Canons also are in different places in South America.
Reforms and Congregations. — As we have al- ready observed, in the eleventh and twelfth centuries a great reform and revival took place in the canonical order. A great number of congregations of canons regular sprang into existence, each with its own dis- tinctive constitutions, grounded on the Rule of St. Augustine and the statutes which Blessed Peter de Honestis, about the year 1100, gave to his canons at Ravenna, where also he instituted the first sodality, called "The Children of Mary". In order to preserve uniformity and regularity among these numerous con- gregations, Pope Benedict XII, in the year 1339, is- sued his Bull "Ad decorem", which may be rather called a book of constitutions to be observed by all canons regular then existing. JBy this Bull the order, then extending through Europe and Asia, was divided into twenty-two provinces or kingdoms, among them being Ireland, England, and Scotland, forming each a province. The abbots and visitors were to be con- vened at a provincial chapter to be held in each prov- ince every four years. Visitors were to be elected, whose duty it was to make a canonical visitation of every house in their respective provinces. Minute regulations are laid down for the daily recitation or singing of the Divine Office in choir, clothings, profes- sions, studies at the universities, expenses and other details in the clerical life, and the general discipline of the canons in the cloister. The Roman Martyrology mentions the existence of more than thirty-three dif- ferent congregations of canons regular. The histo- rians of the order number no fewer than fifty-four. It is evident that it would be quite impossible to give here even a short account of each in particular, there- fore we shall content ourselves with making special mention of a few.
By common consent the Lateran Congregation, of- ficially styled Congregatio SS. Salvatoris Latt runensis, stands first in antiquity and importance. As the title implies, this congregation takes its origin from the Roman Basilica of St. John Lateran, the pope's own cathedral. History, confirmed by the authority of Pontifical Bulls, informs us that Pope Silvester estab- lished in the basilica built by the Emperor Const an- tine clerics living in common after the manner of the Primitive Church. In the year 492, Gelasius, a dis- ciple of St. Augustine, as we have already mentioned, i nt ro.l need in the patriarchal basilica the regular disci- pline which he had learnt at Hippo. Pope Gregory tin- ( treat, Eugenius II, Sergius III. and Alexander II, all endeavoured to maintain the observance of the regular life established among the clergy of the basil- ica. As relaxation had crept in. the last named pope, at the request of St. Peter Damian, called some canons | WIKI |
Rover Balance
Overview #
• Open source hobby project, creation of a robot with an original structure that moves in a home environment.
• The robot structure is a double sided inverted pendulum, with the ability to stand up switching from flat mode (car) to the standing mode (balancing robot), on each of its sides. Further dynamic behaviors to be expected.
Concept #
• A gazebo simulation approximates the robot’s physics and allows the user to control it with a joystick to have a feeling of the robot’s power depending on the weight and motors power.
• nRF52840 Allows high throughput log with native usb uspport.
• A custom RF protocol allows 1 ms order of magnitude for mesh network communication between the different robots part.
• The Programmable peripheral Interconnect feature of the nRF family is leveraged to increase real time responsiveness of events. This is like having a small FPGA interconnect inside of a powerful micro controller.
• C++ drivers wrappers and Standard library support.
Requirements #
• The robot shall have a body and 4 limbs.
• Each limb shall have a motorized joint connecting it to the body.
• Each limb shall have a motorized wheel.
• In flat mode, the robot shall be able to move like a tank.
• The robot shall be able to go from flat mode to standing mode.
• The robot shall be able to keep balance and move in standing mode.
• All articulations shall be reversible, to allow force control loop (smooth interactive reaction).
Simulation #
• intro video to the concept, Joystick controlled to check the possibilities of a multi legged wheeled robot.
BLDC control #
• This BLDC control, although running STM32F103C8T6 is a showcase for combined speed and position control of a BLDC motor, the Raspberry pi is only used as a PS4 joystick interface, the STM32 is controlling an L6234D triple H bridge module.

Is this robot ready ?
No, this project started in 2019 is currently in slow progress mode and only have concept and simulation. The electronic design is still in progress.
Why not use existing BLDC drivers such as Flipsky ?
Flipsky is overdimensioned in size and in power for driving a small robot. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
