Democrats prepare for tax return showdown with defiant Trump
(CNN)House Democrats are carefully laying the groundwork to obtain President Donald Trump's personal tax returns in the new Congress, hoping to build public support for their effort as they prepare to confront a defiant President. Incoming House Ways and Means Committee Chairmen Richard Neal, the only Democrat who has the power in Congress to obtain Trump's taxes, had hoped Trump would hand them over willingly, but a source familiar with ongoing discussions says public comments from the President's allies have made it clear that asking nicely would be a "waste of time" and that likely the most efficient way for Neal to ask for the returns is to do it formally. In that case, Neal would ask the Treasury Department for the returns in the new Congress. When that would actually take place is still under discussion. Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani has signaled he thinks Trump should defy a Democratic request for his taxes. "They have to have a reason for wanting them and I fail to see a reason. They can't just look at them. It has to be linked to some wrongdoing," Giuliani told CNN on Tuesday. "We will fight it in court and I think we would win unless they had some specific allegation." The strategy to obtain the tax returns, however, isn't just about Trump. Democrats believe they are on solid legal footing, but they also argue that Trump has defied precedent as the only modern-day President not to divulge his tax records. They want to make the case to the public that in order to understand a candidate's interests, they have to see their tax returns. A source familiar with discussions told CNN that the House Ways and Means Committee plans to hold a hearing likely in January on a provision in Democrats' first major piece of legislation, HR 1, that would mandate presidential nominees release three years of their tax returns. Neal, a business-minded Democrat who has waited years for the gavel on Ways and Means, finds himself in a unique position. While Neal has expressed interest in working with the President on proposals like infrastructure, the congressman under IRS code is the only Democrat on Capitol Hill who can legally obtain Trump's tax returns, a politically fraught move that could easily consume the committee if Neal isn't strategic. "(Neal) can do it by simply asking for it, but he's not going to do it until we have all of our eggs in order. We gotta make sure we all agree that we don't do this with a knee jerk," said Rep. BIll Pascrell, a Democrat from New Jersey. "We're not doing this by a knee jerk. We've got research up the gazoo behind us and the law's on our side." Democrats are working hard to ensure that the committee isn't overshadowed by Trump's taxes. The source familiar with planning has signaled that Neal wants to spend time cracking down on the ways the Trump administration has weakened the Affordable Care Act at the Department of Health and Human Services and the committee is set to take time to examine just who benefited from the GOP's tax bill. The House Ways and Means Committee hired Andrew Grossman, the former counsel at the Joint Committee on Taxation to be their Chief Tax Counsel, a move aimed to help the committee better scrutinize the GOP tax bill. CNN's Dana Bash contributed to this report.

Template talk:Wikipedia's sister projects
Add Wikifunctions or not?
At the moment I won't use Editprotected as I'm not sure if I'm indeed making an official request or not, but as a new launched WMF project, I wonder why such a "friend link" can't be here. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 08:34, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
* @Izno, Xaosflux and Stephen any inputs? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 02:03, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
* I don't see an issue. Izno (talk) 02:04, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
* I don't think it's really ready for main page advertisement yet - also style wise we have a 4x3 grid now, putting 13 in there may be, eh... Maybe do some mock ups? — xaosflux Talk 09:18, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
* Recall that the grid resizes for resolution. It is 1 column for the majority of visitors. Izno (talk) 17:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
* Looks like at narrow it converts to just a list, but with 12 we get 1x12 (maybe on a small phone?); 2x6, 3x4, 4x3 -- 12 is just such a nicely divisible number. 13 might look ok, that's why I asked for a mockup. — xaosflux Talk 19:58, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
* We need to add Abstract Wikipedia before too long, so it's no like we're going to have the luxury of this nice number. Just bite the bullet. Izno (talk) 07:25, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
* Another possible way is to not only add Wikifunctions, but also Wikimedia Incubator, Wikimedia Outreach and Wikitech so that would be 4x4. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 02:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
* Support. Edward-Woodrow • talk 00:25, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
Add Wikifunctions. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
* @Koavf I'd personally suggest to discuss this issue broaderly via a WP:VP board, probably WP:VPT? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:22, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
* Why? ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:32, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
* +1. Looks like there's enough consensus here already. — Frostly (talk) 22:56, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
* There are only 67 people watching this obscure talk page, that's not going to generate an acceptable consensus to change the main page. It needs broader discussion, and to be honest, there's a few projects already on there that are of very limited interest to readers, including this proposed one. Stephen 23:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
* It's irrelevant how interested encyclopedia editors and readers may be in a travel guide or whatever: they are our sister projects. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:50, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
* Back on the main topic, Wikifunctions is a new project by the Wikimedia Foundation that is currently under development is how they are currently self-labeled on that project - and it isn't a "content" project (targeted to readers). — xaosflux Talk 23:04, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
* Sure, but so are or . The sister projects are not all "content" projects as such and things like Wikidata or Wikifunctions straddle that line. ―Justin ( koa v f ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Adding Wikifunctions to sister projects' section
Hi all! Is it possible to add Wikifunctions to the list of sister projects? Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* @Sannita (WMF) think we've talked about this one a couple of times - one hold up being that funct appears to be in pre-release still? (based on its own sitenotice). How is the roadmap on it going? — xaosflux Talk 14:04, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* @Xaosflux We're out of the pre-release, and almost all of the normal functions for users are up. We're still developing new features of course, and some stuff is still limited to a certain class of users, but we're up. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 14:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* thanks for response, I've merged this to the existing discussion and activated an edit request for attention. — xaosflux Talk 14:23, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* There is a mockup in Template:Wikipedia's sister projects/sandbox already - anyone else got feedback? — xaosflux Talk 14:24, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* Can anyting useful be done with it? Not "I can reverse a string" or "I can add "er" to turn "good" into the English comparative "gooder" (sic, see ) or one that claims that "ja!çaj" is a palindrome but anything with real practical value? At the moment it looks like a playground for some programmers, not as anything we would want to send our readers to as it will have no value for them in the foreseeable future. Fram (talk) 14:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* That's a good point. I believe (I stand happy to be corrected) that Wikifunctions currently only works with strings, but there are some strings I would consider useful, if to a somewhat specialized group. For example, when I'm citing a source that annoyingly stylized a long title in all caps (as many journal article do), I copy it into the "To Titlecase" function. Cremastra (talk) 19:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* @Cremastra We currently support booleans, strings, lists, and numbers as types of functions, just FYI. So, to make an example, it's also possible to make basic maths, like adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 21:14, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
* Thanks. Again a very simplistic function, changing "I'm in a hurry" to "I'm In A Hurry", which isn't how title case is supposed to work. E.g. this website does it better, and has a "Wikipedia" style option. Wikifunctions so far is reinventing hot water, but only achieves lukewarm. Fram (talk) 07:15, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
* You have missed the point of Wikifunctions. The website you linked implements some specific functions that its developers have chosen to provide. Wikifunctions allows anyone to implement their own functions. – SD0001 (talk) 19:52, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
* No, I get the point, I don't see how it is useful to send our readers or editors there when after 3 years or so anything beyond the most basic stuff doesn't work. One would think that by now, some good example of "look at what we can generate" would exist beyond "we can reverse a string" or "we can add "er" to any English word". Why would we send people to a site where they can "implement their own function"? How does that help Wikipedia, how does that contribute to the dissemination of free knowledge? I just looked at the "functions of the week", took one at random,, which does a duplication of a string (wow, useful, I guess, for writing articles...). So, I input "ba", expecting "baba" as the result, but get instead "void" (Details Errors). Why? A time limit, it took more than 9 seconds to change "ba" into "baba". This things is at best in alpha stage and not ready to be featured among the sister projects. Fram (talk) 14:19, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
* @Fram Thanks for your feedback. I'll report your experience with the team, to see if it's a performance issue, or it was just a case of malfunction that is already solved. Sannita (WMF) (talk) 15:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
* As for "how does that contribute to the dissemination of free knowledge", there's a video by Denny Vrandečić featured on the project's main page that answers the question. – SD0001 (talk) 14:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
* Support It's a live sister project, hence it should be linked to from this template. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 09:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
* We need to decide whether we list all sister projects, in which case Wikifunctions should be added, or whether we filter out some based on some notion of value to readers, in which case one could make just as much of a case for removing Meta-Wiki and possibly Wikinews. No opinion on which. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:35, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
* We should list all reader-oriented projects: that is, wikisource, wiktionary, wikifunctions, and all the rest (and mediawiki too, possibly), but not the community-oriented ones: i.e. meta, foundation wiki, etc. Cremastra (talk) 23:14, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
* That's one interpretation. Yet Meta-Wiki is already listed. And the audience of wikifunctions is unclear. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:19, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
* Support the inclusion of all reader-facing projects, including Wikifunctions. I'm not sure whether we need to include Meta, though, especially seeing as we already exclude Outreach Wiki. Graham (talk) 05:25, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
* Is Wikifunctions really a "reader-facing project", though? * Pppery * it has begun... 20:09, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
* Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. The debate currently seems to be whether we should list all sister projects or only reader-facing projects, and where functs fits into that spectrum. There is growing support but also some growing debate about it. Primefac (talk) 12:09, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Why do we list "free" seven times?
It'd be more streamlined to write Wikipedia is written by volunteer editors and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that also hosts a range of other free volunteer projects: and remove subsequent occurrnces of "free". Of the projects that don't have "free" in their descriptions (presumably to save space on mobile), all call themselves free on their English main pages except meta-wiki, which reads The Foundation will make and keep useful information from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity on mission. This implies meta-wiki is free, something confirmed by any dictionary. We could make the description for WikiNews "news source" if a one word description feels too short.

Author tests or standard tests?
by nysus (Vicar)
on Nov 06, 2018 at 17:00 UTC ( #1225311=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
nysus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Is there some common wisdom out there on what tests should go in the extra tests directory (/xt) and which tests should go in the regular test directory (/t)? I know the xt dir is generally used for "author" tests. My thought is only tests that can only possibly be run by author using some advanced set up/configuration should go in extra tests (maybe using some OAuth key an end user wouldn't have, for example). I searched the "Perl Testing: A Developer's Notebook" book on Safari and it doesn't even mention the phrase "author tests" or "xt" or "extra tests" which has me wondering about the importance of the distinction. Thanks!

Some historical background, in case it is of some use.
The Oslo Consensus (May 2008)
• $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} - not $ENV{PERL_AUTOMATED_TESTING}
• $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} - not $ENV{AUTHOR_TESTING} or $ENV{PERL_AUTHOR_TESTING}
• xt/ directory for release and other non-install-time tests (subdirectories optional)
• Support 'requires => { perl => 5.xxx }' and extend to to all 'requires' types
• *.PL should generate META_LOCAL.yml with requirements after dynamic configuration
The Lancaster Consensus (April 2013)
See The Lancaster Consensus and The Annotated Lancaster Consensus for full details.
Historically, AUTOMATED_TESTING has been confusing, used for a number of different purposes:
1. I don't want the user to interact with this test.
2. This is a long-running test.
3. This test depends on an external website (say) and I don't want to stop the user installing if it fails, but I want to see what CPAN smokers experienced.
The Lancaster Consensus clarifies the semantics of AUTOMATED_TESTING and RELEASE_TESTING and adds three new environment variables, making a total of five:
• AUTOMATED_TESTING
• NONINTERACTIVE_TESTING
• EXTENDED_TESTING
• RELEASE_TESTING
• AUTHOR_TESTING
To run module tests after installation, use new target "make test-installed", equivalent to "make test" but without adding blib to @INC.
Some Related CPAN Modules
I'm glad this thread got posted. I'd never heard of this "Lancaster Consensus" before. Took a brief glance before going into a meeting here, but it definitely looks interesting enough to read later today.
Re: Author tests or standard tests?

Personally, I don't use the xt directory. All of my tests regardless of the context(s) they run, are all in the t/ directory (in some cases I have multiple levels of directories under t/).
Typically, POD checking tests, MANIFEST tests, critic tests and pretty much any test that checks something that doesn't have any impact on the compilation, installation or operation of your distribution could be classified as an author test.
I use the environment variable RELEASE_TESTING to enable/disable my author tests. I typically only run them when I'm about to tag/upload to CPAN a new release. I usually skip author tests like this:
use strict; use warnings; use Test::More; unless ( $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} ) { plan( skip_all => "Author tests not required for installation" ); } my $min_tcm = 0.9; eval "use Test::CheckManifest $min_tcm"; plan skip_all => "Test::CheckManifest $min_tcm required" if $@; ok_manifest();
To further, several of my distributions have numerous other tests that skip under certain scenarios during install, as the end-user may not have all of the requisites configured or installed. For example, I have a dedicated hardware setup for continuous integration/testing for my RPi::WiringPi suite with all sensors and ICs attached. Most won't have this on install, so in my documentation for said distribution, I have:
Testing Environment Variable List Here's the contents of my /etc/environment file, setting the various t +esting environment variables for the full test platform. For LCD, the + last two digits (4, 20) are for four row, 20 column units. If you on +ly have a two row by 16 column unit, leave those last two digits off. PI_BOARD=1 RPI_ARDUINO=1 RPI_ADC=1 RPI_MCP3008=1 RPI_MCP4922=1 RPI_SHIFTREG=1 RPI_LCD=1 RPI_SERIAL=1 RPI_HCSR04=1 BB_RPI_LCD=5,6,4,17,27,22,4,20 RPI_RTC=1 RPI_MCP23017=1 RELEASE_TESTING=1
That tests the entire platform and all connected devices, ICs, sensors etc, including my author tests. None of these are set in a user's environment by default, so the most basic of tests will pass on any platform, skipping the ones that can't be tested.
To skip them, it's very similar to the author tests:
BEGIN { if (! $ENV{RPI_ARDUINO}){ plan skip_all => "RPI_ARDUINO environment variable not set\n"; } if (! $ENV{PI_BOARD}){ $ENV{NO_BOARD} = 1; plan skip_all => "Not on a Pi board\n"; } }
The test output is displayed like the following (some cleanup for brevity's sake) when not running on a Raspberry Pi:
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/home/pi/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.28.0/bin/perl" + "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harne +ss::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/00-load.t ....................... ok t/01-identification_and_label.t ... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/05-pin.t ........................ skipped: Not on a Pi board t/10-register.t ................... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/15-pwm_spi_adc.t ................ skipped: RPI_ADC environment varia +ble not set t/20-cleanup.t .................... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/25-sig_die.t .................... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/35-pin_map.t .................... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/40-interrupt_rising_and_pud.t ... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/41-interrupt_falling_and_pud.t .. skipped: Not on a Pi board t/42-interrupt_both_and_pud.t ..... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/45-shift_reg_adc.t .............. skipped: RPI_SHIFTREG environment +variable not set t/55-dac.t ........................ skipped: RPI_MCP4922 environment v +ariable not set t/60-lcd.t ........................ skipped: RPI_LCD environment varia +ble not set t/64-i2c_exceptions.t ............. skipped: RPI_ARUDINO environment v +ariable not set t/65-i2c.t ........................ skipped: RPI_ARDUINO environment v +ariable not set t/67-rtc.t ........................ skipped: RPI_RTC environment varia +ble not set t/70-alt_modes.t .................. skipped: Not on a Pi board t/75-serial.t ..................... skipped: RPI_SERIAL environment va +riable not set t/80-mode_state_all_pins.t ........ skipped: Not on a Pi board t/85-pwm_hw_mods.t ................ skipped: Not on a Pi board t/90-servo.t ...................... skipped: Not on a Pi board t/92-mcp23017.t ................... skipped: RPI_MCP23017 environment +variable not set t/95-pod_linkcheck.t .............. skipped: Test::Pod::LinkCheck requ +ired for testing POD links t/manifest.t ...................... skipped: Author tests not required + for installation t/pod-coverage.t .................. skipped: Author tests not required + for installation
The third one from the bottom is both an author test file (pod_linkcheck.t), and it has a prerequisite. I don't want to include unnecessary distributions if I don't have to, so on my testing platforms, the prereq is installed, so if RELEASE_TESTING=1 is set, that test file will run. Here's how I check for the distribution's availability:
use strict; use warnings; use Test::More; eval "use Test::Pod::LinkCheck"; if ($@) { plan skip_all => 'Test::Pod::LinkCheck required for testing POD'; } if (! $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING}){ plan skip_all => 'Test::POD::LinkCheck tests not required for inst +all.'; } Test::Pod::LinkCheck->new->all_pod_ok;
Not the best way to use eval(), but it doesn't matter. Any eval error will suffice here to skip the tests.
Very helpful. And I totally forgot about tests like perlcritic and what not as I haven't explored those modules yet. This clarifies things nicely for me. Thanks.

Re: Author tests or standard tests?
by 1nickt (Monsignor) on Nov 06, 2018 at 18:11 UTC
Hi, I think you are on the right track. It's not that xt == author. The main thing is that Perl module installers like cpanm will not run tests in /xt. Put tests in /xt that should not be run on installation of the module. I've always used them to test post-installation functionality. So an end user might still run them, but to test that the just-installed client can connect to the server, or to run a test that depends on a given DB being available, etc.
Hope this helps!
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

How to Replace a Drain Hose on a Dishwasher
Replace the drain hose on a dishwasher to prevent clogs and grease buildup.
Replace the drain hose on a dishwasher to prevent clogs and grease buildup.
Moving into a new home with a dishwasher can provide convenience, but if you've never used one before, the various parts and connections may be confusing. The dishwasher drain hose feeds water into the sink's drainpipe. Over time, food particles and grease buildup could cause clogs. Replacing the drain hose is one of the easiest maintenance projects for a dishwasher. Once replaced, water will drain through the hose faster and extend the life of your dishwasher.
1
Pull out the dishwasher until you can reach the power source. Unplug the dishwasher. This will prevent any electric shocks or power issues when doing the repair.
2
Place a bucket under the sink and dishwasher drain pipe connections. Use a pair of pliers to pull off the drain hose. Use caution and do not squeeze the pliers on the sink connection or you could cause leaks and damage. Feed the hose into the bucket to drain out any extra water.
3
Open the dishwasher door and look on the bottom front for any screw connections to the front panel. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws and set them aside. Close the dishwasher door.
4
Pull off the bottom front panel of the dishwasher. If clipped in, wedge the pliers between the panel and dishwasher and pull until it snaps free.
5
Slide a rag underneath the front of the dishwasher. Apply the pliers to the hose connection and pull it free. Let any excess water fall onto the rag.
6
Pull the drain hose from the dishwater. Make sure it feeds through the hole connecting it to the sink. Discard the old hose.
7
Attach the new hose to the dishwasher. Squeeze the hose with the pliers so it stays in place.
8
Feed the hose under the dishwasher and through the wall or cabinets and into the sink area. You may have to move the dishwasher out more to access the area. Do not tangle the hose around any other pipes or connections.
9
Connect the hose to the drain port on the sink. Squeeze it tight with the pliers and give it a small tug to make sure it's secure.
10
Plug in the dishwasher, push it back in place and do a small rinse cycle to check the hose. Watch for any leakage and check under the sink to listen for a constant water flow. Replace the bottom front panel once you're assured the installation is leak-free.
Things You Will Need

NewSID v4.10
Rate:
By Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell
Published: November 1, 2006
Note: NewSID has been retired and is no longer available for download. Please see Mark Russinovich’s blog post: NewSID Retirement and the Machine SID Duplication Myth
IMPORTANT:
Regarding SIDs, Microsoft does not support images that are prepared using NewSID, we only support images that are prepared using SysPrep. Microsoft has not tested NewSID for all deployment cloning options.
For more information on Microsoft's official policy, please see the following Knowledge Base article:
Introduction
Many organizations use disk image cloning to perform mass rollouts of Windows. This technique involves copying the disks of a fully installed and configured Windows computer onto the disk drives of other computers. These other computers effectively appear to have been through the same install process, and are immediately available for use.
While this method saves hours of work and hassle over other rollout approaches, it has the major problem that every cloned system has an identical Computer Security Identifier (SID). This fact compromises security in Workgroup environments, and removable media security can also be compromised in networks with multiple identical computer SIDs.
Demand from the Windows community has lead several companies to develop programs that can change a computer's SID after a system has been cloned. However, Symantec's SID Changer andSymantec's Ghost Walker are only sold as part of each company's high-end product. Further, they both run from a DOS command prompt (Altiris' changer is similar to NewSID).
NewSID is a program we developed that changes a computer's SID. It is free and is a Win32 program, meaning that it can easily be run on systems that have been previously cloned.
Please read this entire article before you use this program.
Version Information:
• Version 4.0 introduces support for Windows XP and .NET Server, a wizard-style interface, allows you to specify the SID that you want applied, Registry compaction and also the option to rename a computer (which results in a change of both NetBIOS and DNS names).
• Version 3.02 corrects a bug where NewSid would not correctly copy default values with invalid value types when renaming a key with an old SID to a new SID. NT actually makes use of such invalid values at certain times in the SAM. The symptom of this bug was error messages reporting access denied when account information was updated by an authorized user.
• Version 3.01 adds a work-around for an inaccessible Registry key that is created by Microsoft Transaction Server. Without the work-around NewSID would quit prematurely.
• Version 3.0 introduces a SID-sync feature that directs NewSID to obtain a SID to apply from another computer.
• Version 2.0 has an automated-mode option, and let's you change the computer name as well.
• Version 1.2 fixes a bug in that was introduced in 1.1 where some file system security descriptors were not updated.
• Version 1.1 corrects a relatively minor bug that affected only certain installations. It also has been updated to change SIDs associated with the permission settings of file and printer shares.
Cloning and Alternate Rollout Methods
One of the most popular ways of performing mass Windows rollouts (typically hundreds of computers) in corporate environments is based on the technique of disk cloning. A system administrator installs the base operating system and add-on software used in the company on a template computer. After configuring the machine for operation in the company network, automated disk or system duplication tools (such as Symantec'sGhost, PowerQuest'sImage Drive, and Altiris'RapiDeploy) are used to copy the template computer's drives onto tens or hundreds of computers. These clones are then given final tweaks, such as the assignment of unique names, and then used by company employees.
Another popular way of rolling out is by using the Microsoft sysdiff utility (part of the Windows Resource Kit). This tool requires that the system administrator perform a full install (usually a scripted unattended installation) on each computer, and then sysdiff automates the application of add-on software install images.
Because the installation is skipped, and because disk sector copying is more efficient than file copying, a cloned-based rollout can save dozens of hours over a comparable sysdiff install. In addition, the system administrator does not have to learn how to use unattended install or sysdiff, or create and debug install scripts. This alone saves hours of work.
The SID Duplication Problem
The problem with cloning is that it is only supported by Microsoft in a very limited sense. Microsoft has stated that cloning systems is only supported if it is done before the GUI portion of Windows Setup has been reached. When the install reaches this point the computer is assigned a name and a unique computer SID. If a system is cloned after this step the cloned machines will all have identical computer SIDs. Note that just changing the computer name or adding the computer to a different domain does not change the computer SID. Changing the name or domain only changes the domain SID if the computer was previously associated with a domain.
To understand the problem that cloning can cause, it is first necessary to understand how individual local accounts on a computer are assigned SIDs. The SIDs of local accounts consist of the computer's SID and an appended RID (Relative Identifier). The RID starts at a fixed value, and is increased by one for each account created. This means that the second account on one computer, for example, will be given the same RID as the second account on a clone. The result is that both accounts have the same SID.
Duplicate SIDs aren't an issue in a Domain-based environment since domain accounts have SID's based on the Domain SID. But, according to Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q162001, "Do Not Disk Duplicate Installed Versions of Windows NT", in a Workgroup environment security is based on local account SIDs. Thus, if two computers have users with the same SID, the Workgroup will not be able to distinguish between the users. All resources, including files and Registry keys, that one user has access to, the other will as well.
Another instance where duplicate SIDs can cause problems is where there is removable media formated with NTFS, and local account security attributes are applied to files and directories. If such a media is moved to a different computer that has the same SID, then local accounts that otherwise would not be able to access the files might be able to if their account IDs happened to match those in the security attributes. This is not be possible if computers have different SIDs.
An article Mark has written, entitled "NT Rollout Options," was published in the June issue of Windows NT Magazine. It discusses the duplicate SID issue in more detail, and presents Microsoft's official stance on cloning. To see if you have a duplicate SID issue on your network, use PsGetSid to display machine SIDs.
NewSID
NewSID is a program we developed to change a computer's SID. It first generates a random SID for the computer, and proceeds to update instances of the existing computer SID it finds in the Registry and in file security descriptors, replacing occurrences with the new SID. NewSID requires administrative privileges to run. It has two functions: changing the SID, and changing the computer name.
To use NewSID's auto-run option, specify "/a" on the command line. You can also direct it to automatically change the computer's name by including the new name after the "/a" switch. For example:
newsid /a [newname]
Would have NewSID run without prompting, change the computer name to "newname" and have it reboot the computer if everything goes okay.
Note: If the system on which you wish to run NewSID is running IISAdmin you must stop the IISAdmin service before running NewSID. Use this command to stop the IISAdmin service: net stop iisadmin /y
NewSID's SID-synchronizing feature that allows you to specify that, instead of randomly generating one, the new SID should be obtained from a different computer. This functionality makes it possible to move a Backup Domain Controller (BDC) to a new Domain, since a BDC's relationship to a Domain is identified by it having the same computer SID as the other Domain Controllers (DCs). Simply choose the "Synchronize SID" button and enter the target computer's name. You must have permissions to change the security settings of the target computer's Registry keys, which typically means that you must be logged in as a domain administrator to use this feature.
Note that when you run NewSID that the size of the Registry will grow, so make sure that the maximum Registry size will accomodate growth. We have found that this growth has no perceptible impact on system performace. The reason the Registry grows is that it becomes fragmented as temporary security settings are applied by NewSID. When the settings are removed the Registry is not compacted.
Important: Note that while we have thoroughly tested NewSID, you must use it at your own risk. As with any software that changes file and Registry settings, it is highly recommended that you completely back-up your computer before running NewSID.
Moving a BDC
Here are the steps you should follow when you want to move a BDC from one domain to another:
1. Boot up the BDC you want to move and log in. Use NewSID to synchronize the SID of the BDC with the PDC of the domain to which you wish to move the BDC.
2. Reboot the system for which you changed the SID (the BDC). Since the domain the BDC is now associated with already has an active PDC, it will boot as a BDC in its new domain.
3. The BDC will show up as a workstation in Server Manager, so use the "Add to Domain" button to add the BDC to its new domain. Be sure to specify the BDC radio button when adding.
How it Works
NewSID starts by reading the existing computer SID. A computer's SID is stored in the Registry's SECURITY hive under SECURITY\SAM\Domains\Account. This key has a value named F and a value named V. The V value is a binary value that has the computer SID embedded within it at the end of its data. NewSID ensures that this SID is in a standard format (3 32-bit subauthorities preceded by three 32-bit authority fields).
Next, NewSID generates a new random SID for the computer. NewSID's generation takes great pains to create a truly random 96-bit value, which replaces the 96-bits of the 3 subauthority values that make up a computer SID.
Three phases to the computer SID replacement follow. In the first phase, the SECURITY and SAM Registry hives are scanned for occurrences of the old computer SID in key values, as well as the names of the keys. When the SID is found in a value it is replaced with the new computer SID, and when the SID is found in a name, the key and its subkeys are copied to a new subkey that has the same name except with the new SID replacing the old.
The final two phases involve updating security descriptors. Registry keys and NTFS files have security associated with them. Security descriptors consist of an entry that identifies which account owns the resource, which group is the primary group owner, an optional list of entries that specify actions permitted by users or groups (known as the Discretionary Access Control List - DACL), and an optional list of entries that specify which actions performed by certain users or groups will generate entries in the system Event Log (System Access Control List - SACL). A user or a group is identified in these security descriptors with their SIDs, and as I stated earlier, local user accounts (other than the built-in accounts such as Administrator, Guest, and so on) have their SIDs made up of the computer SID plus a RID.
The first part of security descriptor updates occurs on all NTFS file system files on the computer. Every security descriptor is scanned for occurrences of the computer SID. When NewSID finds one, it replaces it with the new computer SID.
The second part of security descriptor updates is performed on the Registry. First, NewSID must make sure that it scans all hives, not just those that are loaded. Every user account has a Registry hive that is loaded as HKEY_CURRENT_USER when the user is logged in, but remains on disk in the user's profile directory when they are not. NewSID identifies the locations of all user hive locations by enumerating the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList key, which points at the directories in which they are stored. It then loads them into the Registry using RegLoadKey under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and scans the entire Registry, examining each security descriptor in search of the old computer SID. Updates are performed the same as for files, and when its done NewSID unloads the user hives it loaded. As a final step NewSID scans the HKEY_USERS key, which contains the hive of the currently logged-in user as well as the .Default hive. This is necessary because a hive can't be loaded twice, so the logged-in user hive won't be loaded into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE when NewSID is loading other user hives.
Finally, NewSID must update the ProfileList subkeys to refer to the new account SIDs. This step is necessary to have Windows NT correctly associate profiles with the user accounts after the account SIDs are changed to reflect the new computer SID.
NewSID ensures that it can access and modify every file and Registry key in the system by giving itself the following privileges: System, Backup, Restore and Take Ownership.

Summer brings heatstroke worries
Mesa View Regional HospitalHealth Tips
Heatstroke is the result of being in high temperatures for too long or by doing physical activity in hot weather, leading to the body’s failure to maintain its temperature.
It can lead to death if not treated immediately.
When the body overheats, you first may develop heat cramps. If you don’t cool down, you may progress to symptoms of heat exhaustion, such as heavy sweating, flushed skin, rapid breathing, racing heart rate, nausea, lightheadedness, confusion, feeling faint and unconsciousness. At this point, emergency treatment is needed.
In a period of hours, untreated heatstroke can cause damage to your brain, heart, kidneys and muscles. These injuries get worse the longer treatment is delayed, increasing your risk of serious complications or death.
Wearing excess clothing that prevents your sweat from evaporating easily and cooling your body, drinking alcohol, which can affect your body’s ability to regulate your temperature and becoming dehydrated because you’re not drinking enough water to replenish fluids when combined with strenuous exercise or high temperatures can lead to heat stroke as well.
Muscle cramps and weakness are the first signs of trouble, caused by initial exposure to high temperatures or physical exertion and may be followed by excessive sweating, fatigue and thirst. The cramps are usually in the stomach, arms or legs.
This condition is common in very hot weather or with moderate to heavy physical activity. You can usually treat heat cramps by drinking water or fluids containing electrolytes, such as Gatorade or other sports drinks. Don’t drink beverages with alcohol to rehydrate. These drinks may interfere with your body’s ability to control your temperature. Resting, cooling off with damp sheets and a fan, and getting to a cool spot, like a shaded or air-conditioned area can also stop symptoms from getting worse and prevent heatstroke.
Headache, dizziness or lightheadedness, nausea, skin that feels cool and moist and additional muscle cramps are indications of heat exhaustion, the next step before heatstroke. It can be treated by following the same measures used to treat heat cramps.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention immediately.
One complication of heatstroke is shock, which is a condition caused by a sudden loss of blood flow. Low blood pressure, blue lips and nails and cool, clammy skin indicate onset of shock.
Putting off treatment can cause the brain or other vital organs to swell, and if not cooled quickly, the damage from this swelling could be permanent. Home treatment isn’t sufficient for heatstroke. If you have signs, seek emergency medical help. Others should take steps to cool you off while waiting for emergency help to arrive.
Heatstroke treatment centers on cooling the body to a normal temperature to prevent or reduce damage to the brain and vital organs.
When medical attention is sought, professionals may immerse the patient in cold water or even ice water, use evaporation cooling techniques — which some doctors prefer to use instead of immersion — pack the patient with ice and cooling blankets and may give medications to stop shivering, such as muscle relaxants.
Prevention
Heatstroke is predictable and preventable.
To prevent heatstroke during hot weather wear loose fitting, lightweight clothing that is also light in color. Dark clothing absorbs heat and light-colored clothing can help keep you cool by reflecting the sun’s rays.
Drink plenty of fluids; staying hydrated will help the body sweat and maintain a normal body temperature.
Certain medications can exacerbate heat-related problems, affecting the body’s ability to stay hydrated and dissipate heat. Know what medications will cause problems by talking to a pharmacist or your doctor.
Never leave children or anyone else in a parked car. This is a common cause of heat-related deaths in children.
When parked in the sun, the temperature in your car can rise 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. It’s not safe to leave a person inside a parked car in hot weather for any period of time, even if the windows are cracked or the car is in the shade.
Also, when your car is parked, keep it locked to prevent children from getting inside.
Take it easy during the hottest parts of the day, but if you can’t avoid strenuous activity in hot weather, follow the same precautions and rest frequently in a cool spot. Taking breaks and replenishing fluids during the hottest time will help the body regulate its temperature.
If not accustomed to high heat, limit the amount of time spent working or exercising in it until conditioned to it. People who are not used to hot weather are especially susceptible to heat-related illness, including heatstroke. It can take several weeks for the body to adjust to hot weather.
Be cautious if at increased risk because of physical conditions or medications. Avoid the heat and act quickly if you notice symptoms of overheating. If participating in a strenuous sporting event or activity in hot weather, make sure there are medical services at the event in case a heat emergency arises.

Contractor accused of selling bad parts to US Navy to pay $3.5 million
A Canadian defense company will pay $3.5 million to settle allegations that it "knowingly sold" bad parts to US Navy warships.The company is accused of providing substandard steel to destroyers, degrading their ability to safely secure and traverse helicopters.It is unclear whether the steel affected warship operations, but NCIS agents said fraud was "never a victimless crime." A Canada-based defense company has agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle allegations that it "knowingly sold" defective helicopter landing systems for US Navy warships. The Ontario-based Indal Technologies Inc. produced the Recovery, Assist, Secure and Traverse system, which has been attached to Arleigh Burke-class destroyers since the 1970s, according to an October 15 settlement announcement by the US Department of Justice. The RAST system uses a device that locks a hovering helicopter onto a trolley and then guides it to the ship's hangar, but it must stay secured to track plates because of rough waves and high winds at sea, according to DOJ. That's why RAST systems require a specific type of steel that offers strength, corrosion protection, and ruggedness. "The settlement announced today resolves allegations that Indal, without informing the Navy, knowingly substituted a different, less expensive type of steel in numerous RAST system track plates delivered to the Navy," according to the DOJ release. The settlement agreement provided to Navy Times highlighted two contracts that ran from 1996 to 2004 and 2004 to 2006 that the Navy said involved substandard steel. The federal government paid the company about $83.4 million over several years, according to the online Federal Procurement Data System database. Jim Ryan, a spokesman with Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, Indal's parent company — said the two contracts were performed "well before" Curtiss-Wright bought the firm. Curtiss-Wright acquired Indal in 2015, according to the company's website. Ryan said the DOJ allegations never proved any lawbreaking or fraud "or that we put the safety of any of our armed forces at risk, as implied by their press release." "At the end of the day, we wanted to put this long-standing issue to rest, as did the DOJ," Ryan added. "We settled this case to avoid the potential cost of litigation and disruption to the business." The Naval Criminal Investigative Service began its Indal investigation in 2013 after being told by an unnamed source that RAST systems on Navy warships were manufactured with "substandard materials that did not conform to contract requirements" from the mid-1980s to 2012, according to the agency spokesman Ed Buice. In the settlement announcement, the NCIS special agent in charge added that fraud was "never a victimless crime." "This case of using inferior materials damaged the readiness of US forces," the special agent said. "The victims are not just our men and women in uniform, but all American taxpayers." Naval Air Systems Command officials did not respond to Navy Times questions about whether the steel used in the RAST system affected warship operations.

Australian cricket team in England in 1882
The Australia national cricket team toured England in 1882. The team is officially termed the Third Australians, following two previous tours in the 1878 and 1880 seasons. At the time, there was no Test cricket and so, as in 1880, the single match between England and Australia was rated first-class only. It has since been retrospectively recognised as a Test match. It also became historically famous as the match which created The Ashes.
Australian squad
* Billy Murdoch (captain)
* Alick Bannerman
* Jack Blackham (wicket-keeper)
* George Bonnor
* Harry Boyle
* Tom Garrett
* George Giffen
* Tom Horan
* Sammy Jones
* Hugh Massie
* Percy McDonnell
* Joey Palmer
* Fred Spofforth
England Test selections
* A. N. Hornby (captain)
* Alfred Lyttelton (wicket-keeper)
* Dick Barlow
* Billy Barnes
* W. G. Grace
* A. P. Lucas
* Ted Peate
* Maurice Read
* George Ulyett
* A. G. Steel
* Charles Studd
First day
Murdoch won the toss for Australia and chose to bat first. The decision proved a poor one though, as Australia were dismissed for 63 in 80 overs, taking just over two hours. The captain himself tried to offer resistance with a defensive 13, and the experienced Blackham top-scored with 17, but the only other batsman to reach double figures was Garrett with 10. Barlow and Peate took nine of the ten wickets between them, having received more assistance from the pitch than had been anticipated.
Barlow and Grace opened for England but Grace was soon beaten by the pace of Spofforth and bowled for 4. A steady succession of wickets followed with only Ulyett (26 off 59 balls) and Read (19 off 54 balls) providing any real resistance. Spofforth collected 7 for 46 off 36.3 overs, including 18 maidens. Four of his seven dismissals were clean bowled. Despite Spofforth's excellent bowling, England had established a first-innings lead of 38, being all out for 101. Stumps were called at the end of England's first innings.
Second day
Australia began their second innings. Openers Bannerman and Massie fared much better than in the first innings, putting on 66 for the first wicket — more than the whole team's total in the first innings. The loss of Massie triggered a mini-collapse with Australia losing 4 for 13 over the next few overs before Murdoch added a much-needed 29, but the last four wickets then fell for eight runs. Bannerman was top scorer with 55, and Australia were all out for 122 in 63 overs, an overall lead of 84.
Some of the Australians were demoralised by their second-innings collapse but fast bowler Spofforth, enraged by some gamesmanship on the part of Grace, was determined to win. "This thing can be done", he is said to have declared. England had reached 15/0 before Spofforth made the first breakthrough, bowling Hornby for 9. He removed Barlow next ball, also clean bowled but Ulyett was able to prevent him achieving a hat-trick. Grace and Ulyett added of 36 for the third wicket until Spofforth had Ulyett caught behind by Blackham for 11. Grace fell two runs later, caught by Bannerman off Boyle for 32. England were then 53 for 4 but, with six wickets in hand and only 31 runs needed, they were still expected to win.
England had reached 66 for 4 when Spofforth bowled a dramatic over. Lyttelton, having made a slow 12 from 55 deliveries, was bowled off the first ball and his middle stump was uprooted. Off the fourth ball, Spofforth caught and bowled Steel for a duck, and then bowled Read for another duck. The over was a three-wicket maiden which left England on 66 for 7. In Spofforth's next over, after he bowled Lucas for 5, England were 75 for 8, needing ten more runs for victory, but with only two wickets remaining. In the next over, Boyle removed Barnes for 2 and then, with the last ball, bowled Peate for 2.
England were all out for 77 off 55 overs in 122 minutes, and Australia had won a sensational match by seven runs. Spofforth's match figures were 14 for 90. Contemporary accounts report that there was palpable tension among the spectators with the crowd steadily increasing throughout the day as news of the match spread. When Peate was out, the spectators were momentarily silent, but then they rushed onto the field to congratulate the Australians.
Mock obituaries and aftermath
England's astonishing collapse had shocked the English public, and the press savaged the players. It was the first time England had been beaten in England. On 31 August, in Cricket: A Weekly Record of The Game, there appeared a now-obscure mock obituary:
* SACRED TO THE MEMORY
* OF
* ENGLAND'S SUPREMACY IN THE
* CRICKET-FIELD
* WHICH EXPIRED
* ON THE 29TH DAY OF AUGUST, AT THE OVAL
* "ITS END WAS PEATE"
* "ITS END WAS PEATE"
Two days later, on 2 September, a second, more celebrated mock obituary, written by Reginald Brooks under the pseudonym "Bloobs", appeared in The Sporting Times. read as follows:
* In Affectionate Remembrance
* of
* ENGLISH CRICKET,
* which died at the Oval
* on
* 29 August 1882,
* Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing
* friends and acquaintances
* R.I.P.
* N.B. – The body will be cremated and the
* ashes taken to Australia.
* N.B. – The body will be cremated and the
* ashes taken to Australia.
Ivo Bligh as captain of the England team which toured Australia in 1882–83, promised to regain "those ashes". He spoke of them again several times over the course of the tour, and the Australian media quickly caught on. The three-match series resulted in a two-one win to England, notwithstanding a fourth match, won by the Australians, whose status remains a matter of ardent dispute.
In the twenty years following Bligh's campaign, the term "The Ashes" largely disappeared from public use. There is no indication that this was the accepted name for the series—at least not in England. The term became popular again in Australia first, when George Giffen, in his memoirs (With Bat and Ball, 1899), used the term as if it were well known.
The true and global revitalisation of interest in the concept dates from 1903, when Pelham Warner took a team to Australia with the promise that he would regain "the ashes". As had been the case on Bligh's tour twenty years before, the Australian media latched fervently onto the term, and, this time, it stuck.

We evaluated the anti-tumor effect of the herbal medicine, Sheng-Jin-Jie-Du-Yin, on a human maxillary cancer cell line transplanted into nude mice.This herb consists of 16 crude drugs developed in China. We found it to be effective in inhibiting the cancer transplanted into animals. The two crude drugs, solanum lyratum herb and oldenlandia herb, in Sheng-Jin-Jie-Du-Yin accounted for the anti-tumor effect.The anti-tumor effect of solanum lyratum herb was noted when it was combined with radiotherapy, while oldenlandia herb was effective in the inhibition of tumor growth when given alone or in combination with radiotherapy.We measured the NK activities in nude mouse spleen cells and concluded that the anti-tumor effect of oldenlandia herb is related to an immune mechanism.

Best GU10 bulb
The environment is a room with little natural light and one 15 W LED bulb as a main light. I would like a GU10 bulb for a task lamp that is suited to reading small black-and-white text---colour rendition is not terribly important in itself. Whilst, as aforementioned, there is little natural light anyway, sometimes there is almost none as I work late at night. Given what I have said, what would be most suitable? If the question is presently unanswerable, what additional information is relevant? I am not terribly fussed about efficiency as ergonomic considerations when working take precedence over energy saving (for me, anyway, I do get eyestrain from using poor-quality lighting).--Leon (talk) 19:42, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
* Although "colour rendition is not terribly important", for reading, CCT (correlated color temperature) towards the warm end of the spectrum (around 2500K~3500K) is less stressful on the eyes (e.g.: 7000K CCT can lead to eye fatigue).

* Blue light gives you higher resolution, due to the shorter wavelength (think precision instrument) but it also impedes sleeping. Windows 10 actually has a display setting that lets you tint the screen blue during the day, and red at night, or during which hours you choose. I dim the house lights and tint the screen red about an hour before bedtime. At that point I either magnify the text or use reading glasses for printed material.

* The reference Medeis/μηδείς just gave does not support her claim that "Blue light gives you higher resolution", and in fact there are almost no blue cones at the center of the fovea. The maximum density of blue cones occurs in a ring about the fovea. Consequently, the maximum acuity for blue light is lower than that of other colors and occurs approximately 1° off center from the high-visual-acuity fovea.

* The functionality built into Windows 10 has the same effect you see at the f.lux article. What the actual app is called, I know not. But in effect, yes, I use at least an analog of f.lux. For table lamps I use incandescent bulbs set on dimmer switches only. (I have looked for grey or brown bulbs, but have had trouble finding any.) For overhead/room lamps I always use non-dimmable bulbs, since the whole purpose of those lamps is to illuminate the entire room as well as possible.

* Did you come in here for an argument? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 20:36, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
* Okay, what about halogen vs LED? At the moment I have a 35 W halogen bulb there (a) because the lamp came with it, and (b) because they're alleged to give very "white" light. But I'm not sure if it's really ideal?
* The remarks about colour temperature suggest that a warm white bulb would be most suitable. Is there any downside to buying cheap LED bulbs vs more expensive, branded ones?--Leon (talk) 07:57, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
* The equivalent brightness (lumens) to a 35 W halogen for a LED is about 7 W. Considering how long they last, even a semi-cheap LED costs less in the long run. I personally prefer brand-names (mostly for the reliability the electronic circuits), many are much cheaper than they used to be, . Another thing to consider is dimmable vs non-dimmable; for dimmable, cheap LEDs tend to buzz or hum. 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:65A7:28DA:7F79:4E50 (talk) 08:26, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
* Colour temperature preference IMO depends a lot on what you are used to than people give credit for. Most people in European ('Western') countries, including of course North America and NZ+Australia seem to prefer warmer lights often in the 3500K or lowwer for home usage, especially in relaxing settings (e.g. the living room, reading). But there seems to be a preference for higher colour temperatures in parts of East and South East Asia (not sure about South Asia). (not the best ref, but I'm lazy to dig up another one mostly because it's not a particularly strong or important claim). This could be genetic (see e.g. , but I strongly suspect cultural issues. Fluorescent lights tended to be associated with offices etc until the widespread availability of CFLs in most European places whereas they seemed more common in homes in parts of East and South East Asia. And early fluorescent lights (and even early CFLs) tended to be cooler. Note that despite the common descriptions of the colours, there's no strong evidence I'm aware of that having warmer lights actually increases thermal comfort in cooler environments. See e.g. this which found 4000K generally resulted in higher ratings of thermal comfort than 2700K or 6200K. Personally I find even 4000K is a little too yellow in most situations. In other words, in terms of pure preference terms, I don't think we have enough information and personally I'd go much more by what sort of colour temperature you generally prefer than by what random people tell you you should prefer. However outside of preference, as indicated above there is increasing evidence that too much blue light at night probably has a negative effect on circadian rhythms and associated negative effects on sleeping, health etc and this is something which most likely be seen in all populations (but maybe within a population there could be fair variation on how strong this effect is). That said, I'm not aware of strong evidence for negative or positive effects of colour temperature on eye strain among worldwide populations, this and the sources above strike me again as the sort of thing based largely on anecdotal claims and personal or group preferences and also situations such as computer displays which may not carry over in to room illumination. Nil Einne (talk) 13:34, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
I recall from a class called something like 'Engineering Application of Color Theory' that rods are only stimulated by light in the green-blue range (i.e. cool); and reducing stimulation reduces "eye strain" (more accurately, perhaps: "brain strain"). This study seems to suggest that under certain conditions, pupillary response is also affected by color luminance: 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:1DF7:C3BD:258E:E025 (talk) 21:23, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
* As for the halogen versus LED debate, I'd recommend LED, unless it's cold in that room and you would actually appreciate the extra heat the halogen lamp will put out. 15W is very little, and I'd want as much light as I could get at that wattage, which would mean an LED. This site claims this LED version uses 86% less energy and lasts 20 times as long as a 50W halogen: . StuRat (talk) 23:49, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' - Review - The New York Times
Advertisement By JEANNETTE CATSOULISAUG. 25, 2011 More bump-in-the-night than blood-on-the-ground, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is an old-fashioned spooker suggesting that dysfunctional families might benefit more from malignant demons than from a benign therapist. Set in the kind of crumbling mansion that invariably comes with a loon-haunted lake and a gruff handyman who knows more than he's letting on, this handsome throwback follows a lonely child, Sally (Bailee Madison), whose distracted father (Guy Pearce, bored to tears) plans to renovate the home under the direction of his considerably younger girlfriend (Katie Holmes). Unbeknownst to this tense little family, the former tenants are still in residence: tiny, toothy creatures who whisper in the walls and scrabble in the skirting, occasionally poking a miniature claw in the direction of a human body part. What they're after is clear from the film's gruesome prologue; what they look like is withheld until long after we have ceased to care. Jason Zinoman discusses what makes movies scary. Reimagining the 1973 television movie that terrified him as a boy, the producer, Guillermo del Toro who wrote the screenplay with Matthew Robbins and who has made a career transforming childhood trauma into art house shivers may have entrusted directing duties to Troy Nixey, but his fingerprints are all over the screen. The child's-eye view (the original Sally was an adult), the mash-up of history and fairy tale, the overly fussy story all bear his stamp, as do the richly detailed visuals and prolix tension. Advertisement None of Mr. del Toro's classy fiddling, however, can improve on the original's marvelously economical scares. But if you've always wondered what the tooth fairies want with all those teeth or if you just need proof that a terrified Katie Holmes looks not that different from the everyday version this is the movie for you.

Career
In 1997 the then 19-year-old was crowned 'B Miss Hellas' (Β Μις Ελλάς) in the Miss Star Hellas Pageant, sponsored by ANT1. A few months later, in Kyiv, Ukraine, she won the title of Miss Europe 1997, for the fourth time for Greece. After the competition, she was quoted as saying, "The competition was tough, but the support of the people at Antenna helped me a lot, even in Kyiv".
Isavella speaks 5 languages (Greek, French, English, Italian and some German) and aside from modeling, she also has moved into the fields of acting and music. She has obtained a piano diploma (June 2007) with the best possible grade and the compliments of the jury.
She composes music and aspires to be a classical composer and conductor. She has a degree from the Athens Conservatory as well as one from the Conservatory of Nakas. She has also performed in Greek productions such as Life of 1500 Drachmas and The Musical Library of Lilian Voudouri.
Her popularity is always important and is shown by audiences she attracts when on television (noted on the show "Proinos Cafes" an ANT1 Greek TV channel).
She is married and has a son named Achilles. Pictures of little Achilles and his mother were published in most Greek magazines during 2006, notably in "OK!" magazine published in the week of 13–19 December 2006. Achilles is the grandson of Theofillou Achilles, an important music manager.
A new career has begun for her, that of politics. On November the 7th she got elected as a Municipal adviser.
News
During the 2004 Summer Olympics, the model visited the Water Plaza fun park, an Olympic venue, which housed the sculpture "The Olive: The Tree of Athens", on which she and many other celebrities signed their names. Isavella also visited the Pin Trading Center.

Henrik Ruben Genz
Henrik Ruben Genz (born 7 November 1959 in Gram, Denmark) is a Danish film director.
Before becoming involved with film, Genz attended Designskolen Kolding, where he studied graphic design, after giving up on an earlier dream of being a painter. While there, he did some work with video, and a chance meeting with director Arne Bro encouraged him to pursue film as a career. Genz was then accepted into the National Film School of Denmark at the age of 31, graduating after completing the well-regarded short film Cross Roads (Danish title: Omveje, Detours) in 1995.
Genz's next work, the short film Theis and Nico (Danish title: Bror, min bror, Brother, my brother), released in 1999, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. He then became involved with the Dogme 95 movement, but was unable to produce any quality work after six months of effort. Speaking later about his difficulty in trying to work under the Dogme restrictions, he described himself as a "visual director" and Dogme as a movement where "the camera follows the [actors] and choice means nothing".
In 2003, Genz released his first feature film, an adaptation of the children's book Someone like Hodder (Danish title: En som Hodder) by popular writer Bjarne Reuter. He followed it in 2005 with Chinaman (Danish title: Kinamand), a romantic comedy about a man who takes a foreign wife in an arranged marriage so that she can obtain permission for residency, and then falls in love with her.
Genz returned to his roots in 2008, adapting (with Dunja Gry Jensen) a novel by fellow Gram native Erling Jepsen into the film Terribly Happy. In their youths, Genz and Jepsen had been childhood acquaintances who lived across the street from one another. It won numerous awards, including the Crystal Globe at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

Terry McAuliffe predicts Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam 'will do the right thing'
Washington (CNN)Former Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Sunday he believes Gov. Ralph Northam will resign soon amid wide-ranging calls for his former lieutenant to step down. "Ralph will do the right thing for the commonwealth of Virginia," McAuliffe said on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper. "He will put Virginia first. And I think that will happen relatively soon." Northam said Saturday he would not step down despite mounting pressure to leave office following the revelation about a racist photo in his yearbook. McAuliffe called for Northam to step down on Friday shortly after publication of the photo, and as pressure has mounted on Northam, McAuliffe predicted he would step aside. "I know in his heart, he's going to do the right thing," McAuliffe said. McAuliffe said he did not believe it would come to the point of Northam being forced out of office and predicted Lieutenant Gov. Justin Fairfax would do "a great job of bringing folks back together." Prior to his election as governor in 2017, Northam was McAuliffe's lieutenant governor, and asked on Sunday if Northam had been racist in the past, McAuliffe said he had "zero indication of that." The original photo in question depicts one person in blackface and another in a KKK outfit, and although Northam said Saturday he did not believe he was either person in the photo, he told reporters that he had once darkened his face to look like Michael Jackson for a dance competition. Northam pledged on Saturday to stay in office and "continue doing the business of Virginia," arguing that resigning would be easier at the cost of avoiding "an honest conversation" he felt worthwhile. Like McAuliffe, however, NAACP president Derrick Johnson also predicted on Sunday that Northam would not be able to stay on through the scandal. In an interview on ABC's "This Week," Johnson said at this point it did not matter whether or not Northam was in the yearbook photo, and that a better way to handle the issue would have been to "disclose early" and seek a way to "make amends" for his past behavior. "Whether he actively participated or passively was present, he not one time up unto this point acknowledged that this took place, objected to that behavior or stated that, you know, I had a different upbringing, and I was a part of a southern culture that embraced this racist, vile behavior, and I'm a changed man now, and as a result of that, I denounce that activity," Johnson said.

Wilson, he represented them before the Mid-European Union and secured their admission to this body on the same terms as other far more numerous people. In fact, it might be said of him that he put Uhro-Rusinia on the map.
As far as the Czechoslovaks are concerned, they are naturally pleased that this mark of confidence was reposed in them by the Uhro-Rusins of America. If the people at home approve the decision taken here, the Czechoslovak Republic will welcome their Uhro-Rusin kinsmen as a distinctive and self-governing part of the newly estab lished country. One advantage which this arrangement would have for both the Czechoslovaks and for the entire new structure of Central Europe consists in this that the Czechoslovak Republic would then have a common frontier with Roumania. Poland, Bohemia and Roumania would thus constitute a barrier from the Baltic to the Black Sea, separating the Germans from the Russians and the East.
It is a fact of history that among the ancient Czechs, women were held in high esteem and accounts have been handed down from prehistoric days of Bohemia of the rule of Amazons over men. The most famous person in the days before history was written in Bohemia was the mighty and wise Libuše, its ruler. When we come down to definitely recorded facts, we find the great role played by women during the Hussite period, when Bohemia (early in the Fifteenth Century), a hundred years before the German reformation, raised the banner of religious, political and national liberty.

Eating less meat? Meatless butchers to mushroom burgers can help
ROME (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - From juicy chicken chunks and sausage rolls to bacon and tuna, Dutch butcher Jaap Korteweg offers it all. But there’s a twist: None of the goods on display at his shop in The Hague are made from meat.
Korteweg, a ninth generation farmer, became a vegetarian out of concerns about animal welfare after millions of pigs were slaughtered to contain swine fever in the Netherlands in 1997.
But he missed the taste and texture of meat so much that he got together with scientists and chefs to create plant substitutes that capture both.
The reason there are relatively few vegetarians in many parts of the world“is not that people want to eat less sustainably, less healthily and don’t care about animal welfare, but because they are hooked on meat,” Korteweg told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Rearing animals is a major driver of climate change - making up nearly 15 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions - and raising meat makes less efficient use of land and water than growing crops, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.
While governments and scientists are looking at ways to cut back on emissions from animal farming, many experts say cutting demand for meat - particularly in wealthy countries - is what would make a big difference in combating climate change.
MUSHROOM BURGER? Cutting back doesn’t necessarily mean giving up meat, seen as tastier than a plate of vegetables, researchers say.
If all hamburgers eaten in the United States could be made of a blend of 70 percent beef and 30 percent mushrooms, for instance, it would save as many emissions as taking 2.3 million cars off the road, according to research by the World Resources Institute (WRI).
It would also save water equivalent to that used in 2.6 million American homes, and reduce the agricultural land needed to produce the burgers by an area larger than the U.S. state of Maryland, or the size of the nation of Belgium, WRI said.
“Because of the umami taste and extra moisture of mushrooms, you can end up with a better tasting burger - and it’s healthier,” said Daniel Vennard, director of the Better Buying Lab at WRI.
The part-mushroom burgers, pioneered in the United States, where WRI estimates about 10 billion burgers are eaten each year, are now available to buy in supermarkets, and are served in some schools and office canteens as well.
On Monday, the burgers will also launch at SONIC drive-in fast-food chains around the United States. The restaurant said it will roll out the part-mushroom burgers in all of its restaurants.
“It’s beginning to really grow in the United States. It’s getting a lot of industry and consumer traction, and we think it has the opportunity to be a global solution,” said Vennard.
CUT THE LABEL Eating too much meat has been linked to obesity, heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers, pushing some governments, including China, to encourage people to cut back.
But labeling foods as“vegetarian” or“healthy” can put off shoppers and people in restaurants, some researchers say.
Linda Bacon, a behavioral scientist and former global strategy director at Mars, Inc, has studied how people’s choices in a restaurant depend on where vegetarian dishes are placed on a menu.
She found that when pea risotto and ricotta and spinach ravioli were clustered at the end of the menu under the heading“Vegetarian dishes”, people were 56 percent less likely to order them than if they were listed as the first and last dish on a unified menu - one that also included king prawns, fish and chips, steak, and hamburgers.
“This and other similar research shows that restaurateurs can influence their customers to eat more vegetables and less meat,” she wrote in a blog post.“All they need to do is change the design of the menu.”
SUCCULENT NAMES Using decadent-sounding descriptions also boosts sales of vegetable dishes, according to researchers at Stanford University.
When the university canteen used labels like“sweet sizzlin’ green beans and crispy shallots”,“zesty ginger-turmeric sweet potatoes” and“rich buttery roasted sweet corn”, they sold significantly more than if the same dishes were given health-promoting labels, or simply called beans or sweet potatoes.
Meanwhile, Korteweg, the Dutch producer of vegetable-based chicken and bacon, now is selling his products across Europe, and in Israel and South Korea.
In Britain and the Netherlands almost all are sold by supermarkets, which are also beginning to use them in ready-made meals and salads.
His first client was a butcher near Rotterdam.“He tasted our products and said,‘It isn’t necessary for me to use meat. I just want to use tasty products’,” Korteweg said.
The“meats” are made from wheat, beans, peas, soya and other plant-based proteins, which are fed into a machine that helps give them a meat-like texture. Natural flavors are added to create the taste.
“My dream is that in 20 or 30 years’ time we won’t need animals anymore, and we will feed wheat and peas not to animals but to machines that can produce very tasty meat products in a sustainable, healthy and more intelligent way,” he said.

Student Projects/A worm hole into the scientific aspects of our traditions
SCIENCE AND TRADITION
Science and tradition always go hand in hand. Let’s see how?!!!
MEDICATED MEDITATION BOWL: It’s also called as Himalayan bowl The sound produced by this bowl switches the brain to ‘theta’ brain wave frequency. Theta wave promotes tranquility, intuition and creativity. This sound is chemically metabolized into endogenous opiates substantial for a good metabolism. The Himalayan bowl is as big and unique as Himalaya in its effect and efficiency towards creating a balanced mindset.
FORESEEING FOREHEAD MARKS: Skin absorbs 70% of the substances it comes in contact with. The turmeric in the forehead marks decalcifies pineal gland. Calcification might happen due to excess usage of fluorine present in foam forming materials like toothpastes, bath soaps etc. Gentle pressing works as acupressure on the pineal gland. As the forehead mark shelters the gland, it results in secretion of optimum amount of melatonin for circadian cycle.
EAR PIERCING PRECISES YOUR BRAIN:
Ear lobe depicts the picture of an inverted fetus. Piercing the head part of the fetus connects to the left and right brain and hence activates them. You’re a genius now!!!
SCIENTIFIC DEVOTION: Devotees rendering prayers by simultaneously using both the hands to perform two different movements.

GREEKS FLOURISHED WITH ROSEMARY AND DECLINED BY LEAD:
Greeks used rosemary in every walk of their life. It was an auspicious plant as Tulsi is in India. Medical benefits of rosemary: Rosemary is rich in calcium, iron, and vitamin B-6. It increases concentration, memory and perception. It boosts immune system and circulatory system. It prevents brain aging. It’s strong anti oxidants kill germs and fight infections. Greeks consumed this medically rich plant every day and hence we can see that majority of all the great scholars and scientists were Greeks. Here’s the proof!!!!
Greeks are the ones who discovered lead (Pb) and were obsessed by their discovery. Gradually lead became a metaphor to Greek’s life. All the ceramic and porcelain utensils were replaced by lead, its usage was very intense. Lead is extremely harmful for health: It discontinues the organs. It displays biologically active metal cations. It causes irreversible damages to blood, brain, kidney and liver. Finally the Greek’s declined;
So, let’s stop brain pollution. Let’s try to uncover the scientific truth behind every walk of our life. Let’s adopt and promote goodness in the world.

Information about Tinnitus
Tinnitus is characterized as an abnormal perception of sound. People who suffer from tinnitus report hearing sounds such as ringing, buzzing, whooshing or whistling in one or more ears, a noise that isn’t perceived by others. The sound may be intermittent, constant or fluctuating. It may be severe or mild, fluctuation from a low roaring sensation to a high-pitched type sound.
What causes tinnitus?
Tinnitus is very common because it is a symptom of many diseases and ailments.
In fact, one of the reasons tinnitus is so prevalent in the population — with roughly 50 million Americans suffering from it — is because the condition is actually characterized as a symptom of some other issue. Causes of tinnitus include:
• Hearing loss, especially age-related hearing loss known as presbycusis
• Noise-induced hearing loss
• Obstructions in the middle ear, such as excessive earwax, head congestion, loose hair and dirt or foreign objects
• Head or neck trauma
• Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
• Sinus pressure and barometric trauma
• Traumatic brain injury
• Ototoxic medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), some antibiotics, some cancer medications, water pills or other diuretics or quinine-based medications
• Other diseases and medical conditions related to the metabolic and autoimmune systems, blood vessels, mental health and vestibular system.
Diagnosing tinnitus
Diagnosing tinnitus is easy, but diagnosing the issue causing the symptom can be more difficult. Often, diagnosis includes appointments with a primary health physician as well as an audiologist. Audiologists will be able to administer tests that determine the frequency of tinnitus, though these tests, which involved pitch-matching and loudness-matching, don’t have the highest accuracy rates.
Treating tinnitus
Unfortunately, there is no single cure or solution to alleviate people from tinnitus. Sometimes, tinnitus is cured when the underlying cause is tackled. For example, tinnitus caused by hearing loss often subsides when a person begins wearing hearings aids. Alternatively, tinnitus caused by ototoxic medications often ceases when a person changes medications.
For tinnitus that isn’t as simple to eradicate, some people my turn to masking techniques or behavioral therapies that make coping with it easier. These techniques are as simple as listening to a fan or radio and as complex as undergoing vigorous behavioral therapy or biofeedback to change the way one interacts and responds to their tinnitus. Some management options include:
• Hearing aids
• Sound therapies
• Behavioral therapies
• Drug therapies
• TMJ treatments
• Experimental treatments
If you’re concerned you might be suffering from tinnitus, trust the professionals at Cosmetic Hearing Solutions to evaluate and help you manage your condition.

Tripp v. Santa Rosa St. Railroad Company/Opinion of the Court
We gather from the record that this was an action of ejectment commenced March 9, 1881, in the superior court in and for the county of Sonoma, Cal., against some 1,000 defendants, of whom two or three hundred, having filed separate answers to the complaint, were awarded separate trials, which were set down for December 13, 1881, and by the court continued until the 14th. On that day a motion by plaintiff for a continuance, on affidavit, was made and overruled; whereupon a petition and bond for the removal of the cause to the circuit court of the United States for the northern district of California were filed by the plaintiff. This application, after argument and consideration, was denied December 15, 1881, as to each of the defendants who had obtained separate trials, on the ground that it was made too late, and the cases as to them, being called for trial, were severally dismissed for want of prosecution.
Upon the 3d of January, 1882, plaintiff filed motions to set aside the several orders of dismissal, and to vacate the orders denying the application for removal, and these motions were heard and denied on February 13, 1882. Plaintiff thereupon gave notice of appeal to the supreme court of California from the orders of the superior court made on February 13, and the appeals, having been prosecuted, were dismissed by that court on May 26, 1886, and to review that judgment this writ of error was sued out.
The supreme court held that plaintiff should have appealed from the judgments of the superior court dismissing the suit, and that had such appeal been taken the order of refusal to transfer to the circuit court of the United States might have been considered, but, as there was no appeal from the final judgments, the court could not review that order. The writ of error from theis court was allowed February 24, 1888, by the chief justice of the state supreme court, by whom a citation was signed.
The only proof of service of this citation is an affidavit that notice of citation was given to defendants' attorneys, 'by depositing in the post-office at San Francisco, Cal., a copy of said citation, postage paid, addressed to said attorneys at their respective places, to-wit: [Here follow names of the attorneys as residing at Santa Rosa,]-all of the county of Sonoma, on the 29th day of September, A. D. 1888; that on the day of said service there was a regular communication by mail between San Francisco and Santa Rosa.'
The appearance of none of the defendants in error has been entered in this court, nor does the record disclose any notice of the pendency of the writ, or waiver thereof.
Assuming the sufficiency of the affidavit, and that it established what would be a proper service under the laws of California, (Cal. Code Civil Proc. §§ 1012, 1013; 3 Deering, Codes & St. 416,) in respect of which we express no opinion, the question presents itself whether such a service of citation to this court can be sustained. The statute provides that 'the adverse party shall have at least thirty days' notice,' (Rev. St. § 999;) and the citation is a summons to bring him in, which, under subdivision 5 of rule 8, must be served before the return day. Service may be had upon his attorney or counsel with like effect as upon the party himself, but, when counsel of record is dead, it cannot be served on his personal representative, nor even on his partner, if not regularly appearing on the record as counsel in the cause. Bacon v. Hart, 1 Black, 38. No attorney or solicitor can withdraw his name after he has once entered it upon the record, without the leave of the court; and while his name continues there the opposite party has a right to treat him as the authorized attorney or solicitor, and the service of notice upon him is valid. U.S. v. Curry, 6 How. 106. In Fairfax v. Fairfax, 5 Cranch, 19, 21, where the defendant below intermarried after the judgment and before the service of the writ of error, the service of the citation upon the husband was held sufficient.
The necessity of the actual issue and actual service of citation, except in cases of appeals allowed in open court, and in the absence of equivalent notice or waiver, is reiterated in many cases, while much liberality is exercised in permitting service to be made during the return-term, or a new citation to be issued, where the circumstances invoke the discretion of the court. Hewitt v. Filbert, 116 U.S. 142, 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. 319; Dayton v. Lash, 94 U.S. 112.
The citation may be waived by a general appearance, (Villabolos v. U.S., 6 How. 81, 90;) or by the acceptance of service of a defective citation, (Bigler v. Waller, 12 Wall. 142;) or by action equivalent to the acknowledgment of notice, (Goodwin v. Fox, 120 U.S. 775, 7 Sup. Ct. Rep. 779.)
But none of the cases give color to the view that the service or acknowledgment or waiver can be other than personal on or by the party or his attorney.
By the thirteenth equity rule it is provided that 'the service of all subpoenas shall be by a delivery of a copy thereof by the officer serving the same to the defendant personally, or by leaving a copy thereof at the dwelling-house or usual place of abode of each defendant, with some adult person who is a member or resident in the family;' and service or citation upon parties in this way would doubtless be sufficient. But we cannot be governed in the matter of our own process by the varying laws of the states and territories upon the subject, and actual notice, or notice directed by rule or special order, must be shown before we can treat parties as properly in court.
This case has been upon our docket since October 9, 1888, and been reached for argument and submitted upon a brief filed for plaintiff in error. It is now too late to assert jurisdiction over defendants in error, and the writ of error must therefore be dismissed.
We should add that the same result would follow if the citation had been duly served, as the record presents no federal question upon which to maintain our jurisdiction. The decision of the supreme court of California that, as no appeal was prosecuted from the final judgments, the order denying the application to remove was not open to review, and its judgment thereupon dismissing the appeal from the orders refusing to set aside the judgments of the court below, rest upon grounds of state procedure, with which it is not our province to interfere.
Writ of error dismissed.

A simulation and optimization procedure was constructed to investigate the relationships between optimal movement and muscular strength for baseball pitching. Four segments (torso, upper arms, lower arms, hands) and six torque generators (shoulders, elbows, wrists) are modeled. The torque generators have torque-angle and torque-angular velocity characteristics of Hill-type muscle function. The optimization objective function includes release velocity and negative terms penalizing joint loading and inaccuracy. The weighting coefficient for joint loads has a strong influence on the results. As this coefficient increases, the motion becomes more similar to actual measured pitches. Combining active state patterns optimized for different weighting coefficients gives larger joint loads in the simulated motion. This supports the hypothesis that well-coordinated active states are important for controlling the relationships of the different torque generators in order to create a reasonable and effective pitching motion. The model proposed here is superior to previous simulations for throwing, from the viewpoint of modeling with characteristics of Hill-type muscle function, and can be used to explore realistic baseball pitching.

Studying human and animal locomotion on an uneven terrain can be beneficial to basic science and applied studies for clinical and robotic applications. Traditional biomechanical analysis of human locomotion has often been limited to laboratory environments with flat, smooth runways and treadmills. The authors modified a regular exercise treadmill by attaching wooden blocks to the treadmill belt to yield an uneven locomotion surface. To ensure that these treadmill modifications facilitated biomechanical measurements, the authors compared ground reaction force data collected while a subject ran on the modified instrumented treadmill with a smooth surface with data collected using a conventional instrumented treadmill. Comparisons showed only minor differences. These results suggest that adding an uneven surface to a modified treadmill is a viable option for studying human or animal locomotion on an uneven terrain. Other types of surfaces (eg, compliant blocks) could be affixed in a similar manner for studies on other types of locomotion surfaces.

An elliptical cylinder model developed by Jensen (1978) has been a widely accepted method for determining human segment inertial parameters. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of the segment volume calculation step of this model. Three possible sources of error were examined: between-sex differences in body shape, image ratio, and human inconsistencies in digitizing. Volume estimates for the right lower arm + right hand, right lower leg + right foot, and whole body on 20 young men and women were calculated from digitized images at a ratio of 1:10 and 1:5 of the actual size (measured) and compared to values measured using an underwater displacement technique (criterion). Results showed no differences between the sexes on the accuracy of estimating the three volumes at either image ratio. Combining both sexes, the error in calculating segment volumes with an image-to-actual-size ratio of 1:10 were significantly larger, p < 0.05, than at a ratio of 1:5 for both the lower arm + hand (4.28 ± 2.92% vs. –0.43 ± 2.49%) and the whole body (4.80 ± 2.49% vs. 2.01 ± 2.17%). There was no significant change in mean for the lower leg + foot when the image was increased from 1:10 to 1:5 (–0.12 ± 3.92% vs. –0.81 ± 3.01%, respectively). Although not statistically significant, p > 0.05, a greater magnification seemed to have also reduced the influence of human inconsistencies, which was found to be a primary source of error. When the image-to-actual-size ratio is high (i.e., 1:5) and precaution is taken during digitization, the elliptical cylinder model provides accurate estimates of segment volumes of the whole body and extremities.

The original and modified Ottawa Ankle Rules (OARs) were developed as clinical decision rules for use in emergency departments. However, the OARs have not been evaluated as an acute clinical evaluation tool.
Objective:
To evaluate the measures of diagnostic accuracy of the OARs in the acute setting.
Methods:
The OARs were applied to all appropriate ankle injuries at 2 colleges (athletics and club sports) and 21 high schools. The outcomes of OARs, diagnosis, and decision for referral were collected by the athletic trainers (ATs) at each of the locations. Contingency tables were created for evaluations completed within 1 h for which radiographs were obtained. From these data the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated.
Results:
The OARs met the criteria for radiographs in 100 of the 124 cases, of which 38 were actually referred for imaging. Based on radiographic findings in an acute setting, the OARs (n = 38) had a high sensitivity (.88) and are good predictors to rule out the presence of a fracture. Low specificity (0.00) results led to a high number of false positives and low positive predictive values (.18).
Conclusion:
When applied during the first hour after injury the OARs significantly overestimate the need for radiographs. However, a negative finding rules out the need to obtain radiographs. It appears the AT’s decision making based on the totality of the examination findings is the best filter in determining referral for radiographs.

The objective of this study was to investigate the validity of power measurement techniques utilizing various kinematic and kinetic devices during the jump squat (JS), squat (S) and power clean (PC). Ten Division I male athletes were assessed for power output across various intensities: 0, 12, 27, 42, 56, 71, and 85% of one repetition maximum strength (1RM) in the JS and S and 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90% of 1RM in the PC. During the execution of each lift, six different data collection systems were utilized; (1) one linear position transducer (1-LPT); (2) one linear position transducer with the system mass representing the force (1-LPT+MASS); (3) two linear position transducers (2-LPT); (4) the force plate (FP); (5) one linear position transducer and a force plate (1-LPT+FP); (6) two linear position transducers and a force place (2-LPT+FP). Kinetic and kinematic variables calculated using the six methodologies were compared. Vertical power, force, and velocity differed significantly between 2-LPT+FP and 1-LPT, 1-LPT+MASS, 2-LPT, and FP methodologies across various intensities throughout the JS, S, and PC. These differences affected the load–power relationship and resulted in the transfer of the optimal load to a number of different intensities. This examination clearly indicates that data collection and analysis procedures influence the power output calculated as well as the load–power relationship of dynamic lower body movements.

Numerous studies in the past 30 years have researched physiological adaptation to stress by wheelchair-bound subjects. Instrumentation necessary to produce this effect had to be designed and tested prior to obtaining valid data. This study had two main purposes: to design a wheelchair ergometer for physiological testing of spinal cord-injured subjects, and to demonstrate the validity of the maximal stress test when using the wheelchair ergometer. To test the validity of the wheelchair ergometer, 10 disabled subjects (9 paraplegic and 1 quadriplegic) participated in both a maximal field test (FT) and a maximal wheelchair ergometer test (WERG), with each subject serving as his or her own control. A randomly assigned counterbalanced design (5 subjects assigned to complete the FT first, with the second group of 5 subjects completing the WERG first) was used to reduce the learning effect in the study. The results of the t-tests indicated there was no significant difference between V̇O2 and V̇E, (STPD) averages for the WERG and FT for maximal effort with two-tailed significant levels of t = .9016 and t = .7294, respectively. The Pearson product moment correlation level was statistically significant at p < .0001, when the WERG V̇O2 was compared to the FT V̇O2 (r = .94), and was significant at p < .005 when the WERG V̇E was compared to the FT V̇E (r = .82).

This study examined the validity and reliability of a Volleyball Skills Assessment Test (VSAT) as a measure of volleyball skill and as a predictor of team success in Special Olympics International (SOI) volleyball competition. Test-retest reliability data from 130 SOI volleyball players with mental retardation (101 males and 29 females) in the sixth week of an SOI volleyball training program yielded intraclass reliability coefficients (R) above .80 for all VSAT subtests (forearm pass, spike, set, serve) across gender with the exception of the set test for females (R = .75). Multivariate test battery test–retest reliability, examined using canonical correlation analysis, yielded moderate total redundancy estimates ranging between 62.5 and 66.1%. A high degree of concurrent validity was evidenced when correlating VSAT scores with judges’ ratings of performance on the four skills: r = .93 (r 2 = .86) serve, r = .94 (r 2 = .88) pass, r = .98 (r2 = .96) spike, and r = .86 (r2 = .74) set. Contingency table analysis, multiple regression, and discriminant function analysis revealed that the predictive validity of the VSAT as the primary determinant for allocating teams to pools of equal ability is questionable.

The purpose was to develop a valid and reliable battery of quad rugby skill tests. Participants were 65 adult, male, quad rugby athletes. Content validity was established in two modified Delphi rounds by a panel of international experts. For concurrent validity, Spearman rho correlations between coaches’ rankings of players’ skills and scores ranged from .63 to .98 for the total battery. For construct validity, principal factor analysis with oblique rotation revealed two factors. Intraclass reliability coefficients ranged from .94 to .99. The battery includes five tests: maneuverability with the ball, pass for accuracy, picking, sprinting, and pass for distance.

The muscle fiber force–length relationship has been explained in terms of the cross-bridge theory at the sarcomere level. In vivo, for a physiologically realistic range of joint motion, and therefore range of muscle fiber lengths, only part of the force–length curve may be used; that is, the section of the force– length curve expressed can vary. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a method for determining the expressed section of the force– length curve for biarticular muscles. A muscle model was used to simulate the triceps surae muscle group. Three model formulations were used so that the gastrocnemius operated over different portions of the force–length curve: the ascending limb, the plateau region, and the descending limb. Joint moment data were generated for a range of joint configurations and from this simulated data the region of the force– length relationship that the gastrocnemius muscle operated over was successfully reconstructed using the algorithm of Herzog and ter Keurs (1988a). Further simulations showed that the correct region of the force–length curve was accurately reconstructed even in the presence of random and systematic noise generated to reflect the effects of sampling errors, and incomplete muscle activation.

124 the common people, while the children disport themselves in a state of nature. It is not unusual to see a kerchief (hachi-maki) tied over the brow, to prevent the perspiration from running into the eyes. Travellers of the middle and lower classes are often to be distinguished by their kimono being lifted up and shoved into the sash behind, by a kind of silk drawers called patchi, by a sort of mitten or hand-protector called tekkō, and by a loose overcoat (kappa]. The peasants wear a straw overcoat (mino) in rainy or snowy weather.
The Japanese costume for women is less different from that of the men than is the case with us. In many districts the peasant women wear trousers and rain-coats, like their husbands. This, coupled with the absence of beard in the men, often makes it difficult for a new-comer to distinguish the sexes. In the towns, the various elements of female dress are as follows. Beneath all, come two little aprons round the loins (koshi-maki and suso-yoke), then the shirt, and then the kimono or kimonos kept in place by a thin belt (shita-jime). Over this is bound the large sash (obi), which is the chief article of feminine adornment. In order to hold it up, a sort of panier or "improver" (obi-age) is placed underneath, while a handsome string (obi-dome) keeps it in position above. Japanese women bestow lavish care on the dressing of their hair. Their combs and hair-pins of tortoise-shell, coral, and other costly materials often represent many months of their husbands salaries. Fortunately all these things, and even dresses themselves, can be handed down from mother to daughter, as jewels and lace may be in European lands, Japanese ladies fashions not changing quickly.
A Japanese lady's dress will often represent a value of 200 yen, without counting the ornaments for her hair, worth perhaps as much again. A woman of the smaller shop-keeping class may have on her, when she goes out holiday-making, some 40 or 50 yen's worth. A gentleman will rarely spend on his clothes as much as he lets his wife spend on hers. Perhaps he may not have on more than 60 yen's worth. Thence, through

1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Quintus Smyrnaeus
QUINTUS SMYRNAEUS, Greek epic poet, probably flourished in the latter part of the 4th century A.D. He is sometimes called Quintus Calaber, because the only MS. of his poem was discovered at Otranto in Calabria by Cardinal Bessarion in 140. According to his own account (xii. 310), he tried his hand at poetry in his early youth, while tending sheep at Smyrna. His epic in fourteen books, known as Ta µe6' "Oµrjpov or Posthomerica, takes up the tale of Troy at the point where Homer's Iliad breaks off (the death of Hector), and carries it down to the capture of the city by the Greeks. The first five books, which cover the same ground as the Aethiopis of Arctinus of Miletus, describe the doughty deeds and deaths of Penthesileia the Amazon, of Memnon, son of the Morning, and of Achilles; the funeral games in honour of Achilles, the contest for the arms of Achilles and the death of Ajax. The remaining books relate the exploits of Neoptolemus, Eurypylus and Deiphobus, the deaths of Paris and Oenone, the capture of Troy by means of the wooden horse, the sacrifice of Polyxena at the grave of Achilles, the departure of the Greeks, and their dispersal by the storm. The poet has no originality; in conception and style his work is closely modelled on Homer. His materials are borrowed from the cyclic poems from which Virgil (with whose works he was probably acquainted) also drew, in particular the Aethiopis of Arctinus and the Little Iliad of Lesches.
Editio princeps by Aldus Manutius (1504); Kochly (ed. major with elaborate prolegomena, 1850; ed. minor, 1853); Z. Zimmermann (author of other valuable articles on the poet), (1891); see also Kehinptzov, De Quinti Smyrnaei Fontibus ac Mythopoiia (1889); C. A. Sainte-Beuve, ''Etude sur. . .

Dynamic and Thermodynamic Contributions to Late 21st Century Projected Rainfall Change in the Congo Basin: Impact of a Regional Climate Model’s Formulation
Abstract
Addressing the impacts of climate change requires, first of all, understanding the mechanisms driving changes, especially at the regional scale. In particular, policymakers and other stakeholders need physically robust climate change information to drive societal responses to a changing climate. This study analyses late 21st-century (2071–2100) precipitation projections for the Congo Basin under representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5, using the Rossby Centre Regional Climate Model (RCM) RCA4. Specifically, we examine the impact of the RCM formulation (reduction of turbulent mixing) on future change in seasonal mean precipitation by comparing the results of the modified model version (RCA4-v4) with those of the standard version (RCA4-v1) used in CORDEX (Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment). The two RCM versions are driven by two global climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). The results show that seasonal precipitation is largely affected by modifications in the atmospheric column moisture convergence or divergence, and, in turn, associated with changes in the dynamic (ΔDY) and thermodynamic (ΔTH) components of the moisture-budget equation. Projected decreased precipitation in the dry seasons (December–January–February and June–July–August) is linked to increased moisture divergence driven by dynamic effects (changes in circulation), with most experiments showing ΔDY as the main contributor (>60%) to the total moisture budget. Overall, precipitation is projected to increase in the wet seasons (March–April–May and September–October–November), which can be attributed to both dynamic and thermodynamic effects, but with a larger thermodynamic contribution (changes in specific humidity, ΔTH > 45%), compared to the dynamic one (ΔDY > 40%). Through a comparison of the two model versions, we found that the formulation (reducing turbulent mixing) and boundary conditions (driving GCM) strongly influence precipitation projections. This result holds substantial value for ensuring the fitness of models for future projections intended for decision-makers.

Alfa Romeo RM was produced between 1923–1925, it was based on RL model. Car was introduced first time in 1923 Paris Motor Show and total production was around 500 cars. RM had 2.0 L straight-4 engine, which produced between 40 bhp (30 kW) to 48 bhp (36 kW). As most of Alfa Romeo cars this was also used in racing purpose. Three versions was made: Normal, Sport and Unificato. Sport had raised compression ratio and Unificato had longer wheelbase and slightly bigger engine. RM top speed was around 90 km/h (56 mph).
Models:
• RM Normal, 1944 cc 40 bhp (1923)
• RM Sport, 1944 cc 44 bhp (1924)
• RM Unificato, 1996 cc 48 bhp (1925)
Alfa Romeo half track
A very rare half track version based on RM was built in 1920s. The half track used RM straight-4 engine modified to work with dry sump lubrication. The track used was Citroën Kegresse licensed, only one example is known survive.

Memorial Hall (Rockford, Illinois)
Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum (formerly known as Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall) one of the oldest museums in Winnebago County, is located one block west of the Rock River in downtown Rockford. Construction on the Hall began in 1901 and was finished in 1902, but dedication was delayed. On June 3, 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt. visited Rockford for the opening and dedication of what was then known as Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall. Although initially conceived to honor Winnebago County veterans of the Mexican War, Civil War, and Spanish-American War, supporters of the hall adapted it to honor Winnebago County veterans of all decades. The building is administered by the Winnebago County Board.
Description
The architecture of Veterans Memorial Hall is classical Greek revival meaning that two sides are identical. The building has stairs with columns and doubles doors on the east and west sides, making them visually identical sides. Decorative façades of Indiana Bedford limestone cover all four sides of the building. Carved in the stone portico of the building on the west façade are the words "Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall" and the date "1902". The red tile roof is topped with a skylight. Flagpoles stand on both the east and west sides of the building and a sign acknowledging Main Street as a Blue Star Highway graces the west side garden.
The lawn on the east side of the building underwent extensive renovation in 2016. It is now home to the Armistice-Memorial to Peace, which is a memorial to honor Veterans and educate the community of past Armistice/Veterans Day events at its location as well as inform visitors about the County owned Civil War Statue mounted on a column from Rockford’s original Carnegie Library.
Veterans Memorial Hall contains three floors, including the basement, all of which are serviced by an elevator. An auditorium and stage take up most of the upper floor. Numerous museum exhibits fill the main floor and the basement level also has exhibits and conference space. The building continues to serve its original mission of honoring local veterans as a museum of all wars. The interior walls are elaborately painted with symbols and names associated with the Civil War and the Civil War veterans’ associations, The Spanish American War Veterans and the Grand Army of the Republic. Permanente exhibits include large wall mounted bronze plaques containing the names of those from Winnebago County who fought and died in the Civil War. Over time, several paintings were irreparably damaged or lost due to poor maintenance and pollution; others have been covered up or painted over.

The idea of a memorial to honor the veterans from Winnebago County was brought up as early as 1866 when W.P. Kinney, minister of the Second Congregational Church, proposed some sort of monument to honor the memory of the 2,109 soldiers and sailors from Winnebago County that served in the American Civil War. In March 1877, John D. Jackson made an unsuccessful proposal to the Winnebago County Board seeking $25,000 for the construction of a soldier's monument.
In 1900, the question of a Memorial Hall was put to voters of Winnebago County; the vote ended in favor of a memorial, at 6,021 to 2,757. In December of that year, Thomas G. Lawler, commander of the Garrett L. Nevius Post #1 of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR), presented a petition with signatures from than 200 veterans requesting the county build a Memorial Hall. The petition asked that the hall not only act as a memorial for veterans of the county but also be used for other county purposes.
The building was designed by Bradley & Carpenter, a local architectural firm. Construction began in early 1901. The facades were built with Indiana Bedford limestone quarried from the Bedford, Indiana quarry. Construction of Memorial Hall was completed in 18 months for a total cost of $59,136.
Dedication
In February 1903, a committee of five including: J.B. Whitehead, Col. Thomas L. Lawler, Amasa Hutchins, Col. Arthur E. Fisher, and William Andrews, was named to draft a letter of invitation to President Theodore Roosevelt to be present at the dedication. This committee was authorized to outline the program for the day. On June 3, 1903, a reception committee of leading citizens from Rockford and Winnebago County met Roosevelt at the train station, open carriages transported him and his party to Memorial Hall. Afterward, he raised a flag which had been flown on the Milwaukee-class vessel USS Winnebago during the Civil War.
Roosevelt returned to Rockford two more times; once on April 6, 1912 and again on September 26, 1917, when he addressed the troops at nearby Camp Grant during World War I.
The Hall
On the same day that Roosevelt dedicated Memorial Hall, the local Civil War veterans held their first meeting in the building. Over the century of existence, Memorial Hall has hosted a total of over 60 different veterans or associated military groups for various events and meetings. In 1966, a large stone marker commemorating the Hall’s dedication was placed on the west side of the building in front of the entrance, and in 1973, a small garden dedicated to the veterans of the Vietnam War was added.
During the Camp Grant era the Memorial Hall, as it was still called, was on a list of suggested places for soldiers to visit. The Relief Corps and other Veteran groups served low-cost meals to soldiers and hosted social events for the soldiers in WW1 and WW2.
In November 1944 Rockford Nevius Post 1 of the G.A.R. officially disbands and hands over control of the Hall to the VFW. Unfortunately the building continues to deteriorate and begins to fall further into disrepair.
The Hall was threatened with demolition in the 1960s when the County Board proposed to demolish the hall in favor of building a parking ramp in order to extend the parking lot located next to it. The Hall's future was assured when, in 1974, the building was named an Illinois Historical Landmark. In 1976, Memorial Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in time for the United States Bicentennial. In 1978, a federal grant matched $25,000 in renovation funds for work on the heating, wiring and insulation. However, by the late 1980's, the building had deteriorated so much that it needed major renovations, repairs and modernization. A County Board committee, including Rep. Dave Winters and Peggy McGaw (wife of former Mayor Robert McGaw) was formed to develop a plan. Working with the City who provided War Memorial funds which came from the sale of Camp Grant, a four-year $1.5 million restoration project began in 1988.
Phase one included the main floor and downstairs; phase two, the landscaping and phase three: the auditorium. Under the eye of architect Joe Zimmer, the building was restored. In 1988, a four-year, $1.5 million restoration project began in response to the parking garage attempt and the fact the building had started to deteriorate due to lack of maintenance. In the 1980s, to help offset the costs of its upkeep, the Winnebago County Board rented the first floor offices to the Rockford Convention and Visitor's Bureau, until early 2004. During that time, in November 2001, the Memorial Hall Board of Trustees was formed to oversee the Hall, its maintenance and its exhibits, as well as to author a report on future operations. In January 2005, Memorial Hall was officially reopened to the public for guided tours.
Exhibits include the 18 bronze plaques containing the names of those from Winnebago County who fought and died in the Civil War, along with memorabilia form veterans extending from the Civil War to the current Iraq conflict. Some articles on display include a commemorative plaque cast of metal from the wreck of the USS Maine, artifacts from a local soldiers time serving the Philippine-American War and Mexican–American War, and items form a local Air Force veterans that spent 6 years at the Hanoi Hilton. Other artifacts from 20th & 21st century veterans are on display, with a constant rotation of smaller exhibits.

Domar serfdom model
The Domar Serfdom Model is a mid-to-late 20th century model that develops a hypothesis concerning the causes of agricultural slavery or serfdom in historical societies. Evsey Domar first presented this model in his 1970 paper, “ The Causes of Slavery or Serfdom: A Hypothesis” published in the Economic History Review. The Domar Serfdom Model revives a hypothesis originally suggested by Russian Historian Vasily Klyuchevsky, who looks at the causes of slavery through the lens of the Russian experience in the 16th and 17th centuries. In his revisiting of the hypothesis, Domar aims to give it wider applicability while focusing more on an analysis that yields an economic model as an explanation of the causes of slavery.
Assumptions and hypothesis
In his model of serfdom, Domar assumes the following:
* Land and labor are the only factors of production (no capital or management required) (Domar, 2)
* Land is of uniform quality and location is a non-factor
* Constant returns in labor (marginal product of labor is constant, and nearly equal to the average product of labor)
In addition, Domar asserts that there are 3 elements of agricultural structure relevant in his model:
* 1) Abundant free land
* 2) Abundant free labor (free peasants)
* 3) Large-scale agriculture (non-working landowners)
Domar claims that any 2 of these 3 elements can exist cohesively, but never can all 3 elements exist simultaneously in any particular situation. Dependent on which elements exist cohesively, one will see differing types of societies. (Domar, 5) The Domar Serfdom Model characterizes bond labor as being a product of human choice and creation. Taking Q=F(Land, Labor), stated in words as production being a function of land and labor, and under the assumptions that production requires only land and labor, production demonstrates constant returns to scale, and there is an abundance of free land, then free-wage labor will not exist. Additionally, production units will require bond labor. It is this attribution of bond labor resulting from human choice that separates Domar's model from models that attribute slavery to a product of nature, such as Staple's Thesis. (Domar, 5)
Historical Application
Domar concentrates the testing of his model on historical analysis of serfdom and slavery in Russia, Poland-Lithuania, Western Europe, and the United States. Domar's analysis of Russia looks at pre-1550, where Russian peasants were free men, and 100 years later, where Russian peasants were serfs. (Domar, 8) Domar states that the relevant factors contributing to this change in classification were the number of servants required by the military and the population density. (Domar, 8) In the second half of the 15th century, the Russian government began distributing land, depopulating the central areas of the country. By the start of the 17th century, a high land/labor ratio was present in addition to the governmental need to create a large class of servants, which caused a large increase in serfdom levels in Russia into the 19th century. (Domar, 11) In Poland-Lithuania, relevant factors leading to the increase in slavery and serfdom started in the 14th century with a conquering of Ukrainian land, leading to a much higher land/labor ratio in the newly expanded region. (Domar, 11-12) In addition, the immigration out of the central areas and into the more peripheral areas of the state led to a more homogenous land/labor ratio throughout the entire state. (Domar, 12) In his analysis of serfdom in Western Europe, Domar suggests that depopulation of the late Rome Empire created a large increase in the land/labor ratio, creating a situation in which the development of serfdom rose as a subsequent effect of an increasing land/labor ratio due to a decreasing population. (Domar, 13) The end of the 13th century in Western Europe is met by a sharp decline in serfdom, which Domar attributes to overpopulation, a large surplus of labor, and thus a very low land/labor ratio. Additionally, this economic model plays an incredibly important role in the analysis of the causes of slavery in the Colonial American South. Domar states that the American South demonstrated abundant free land and large scale agriculture, but not abundant free labor. In contrast, the American North demonstrated abundant free land and abundant free labor, but not large scale agriculture. The American South during the colonial period was characterized by vast amounts of fertile land that was largely uninhabited previous to colonization, and sparsely populated during colonization. (Domar, 16) Domar attributes the importation of slaves to the American South as an economic need for labor due to such a high land/labor ratio. Domar qualifies the difference in popularity of slavery in the American South relative to the American North to political and social objections, as well as a potential for increased adaptability of slaves to the warmer climate, or the increased productivity that goes along with longer and more fruitful seasons in the south due to the temperature. (Domar, 16)
Critiques
The Domar Serfdom Model has been met with criticism since its publishing in The Journal of Economic History in 1970. In 2009, Professor Jean Jacques Rosa authored a paper titled, “The Causes of Serfdom: A Hypothesis Revisited” in which Rosa argues that serfdom and slavery are mutually exclusive events. Where Domar argues that labor scarcity is a necessary but exogenous political factor needed for serfdom, Rosa challenges his view by showing that “in an agrarian subsistence economy the complementary conditions of serfdom are (a) oligopsony power in labor demand, sustained by (b) an oligopolistic supply of violence by large land owners.” In addition, Professor Erik Green of Lund University argues that Domar's model fails in explaining the origins of slavery in Cape Colony, South Africa, where the consensus is that slavery evolved as an urban phenomenon, which would call into question the land/labor ratio Domar uses to explain the causes of slavery and serfdom. Moreover, Professor Jonathon Cunning of Hunter University authored a paper titled “On the Causes of Slavery or Serfdom and the Roads to Agrarian Capitalism: Domar’s Hypothesis Revisited”. In his paper, Cunning offers a “simple general equilibrium formalization of Domar’s famous hypothesis on the causes of slavery or serfdom that emphasizes the interactions between factor endowments, the nature of the production technologies, and the initial distribution of property rights over land.” Cunning's paper is viewed more so as an expansion upon Domar's model rather than a direct challenge to his hypothesis.

Flint residents can sue federal government, judge rules
A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Flint, Michigan residents can proceed with more than a dozen lawsuits against the Environmental Protection Agency and the federal government in connection with increased levels of lead in the city's water supply, CNN reports. By the numbers: Fetal death rates jumped by 58% in Flint after the city's water was found to be contaminated with high levels of lead in 2014 and 2015, and fertility rates for women dropped by 12%, per a 2017 study. Fifteen state and local officials have been criminally indicted in connection with the Flint water crisis, 4 of whom were charged with involuntary manslaughter. The other side: The EPA declined to comment on Thursday's ruling, which stated that the federal government is not immune to legal action in these cases, according to CNN.

"What, again!" Peggy Watson said and gave her a list of doctors.
Afterwards she lay on a sticky plush couch in an alcove behind a dirty brown portiere. How could one have been in such pain, live, and now not feel a thing? The doctor hadn't cared how he hurt. And this one sure got other thrills out of his business.
Her hands were still gloved because she didn't have a wedding ring and she stifled an hysterical impulse to laugh at the spectacle of herself on the doctor's table with her gloves on as Mrs. John Battenberg. Aunt Mabel's parlor table's Battenberg lace cover was her husband.
Peggy Watson met her in a lunchroom at the corner.
"Gee, kid, you must feel awful. Lucky you don't have to go on the same night like the girls in the chorus do after they go through it the same day. What did he charge?"

Drive Belt
From Unofficial Zero Manual
Revision as of 20:27, 8 July 2020 by BrianTRice (talk | contribs) (inline subpages with headings)
Jump to: navigation, search
Zero uses a belt for primary transmission of torque to the rear wheel. It's quiet and lightweight but is a proprietary design that can wear out. If you plan to put a lot of miles on a Zero or risk the belt often, buy a spare belt ahead of time and mind its maintenance.
Risks
Drive belts fail by snapping or by stripping the teeth.
On Landing
The most common situation for a belt snap is when going over a major bump or jump where the rear wheel leaves the ground.
• If, while airborne, the throttle is not immediately relaxed, the rear wheel will rapidly spin up.
• A wheel that is moving extremely quickly in the air will get jerked back to its regular speed on landing. This is transmitted to the belt through the rear sprocket and can easily strip teeth.
From Debris
Gravel or sand that gets thrown between sprocket teeth and the belt will force the belt to expand quickly under load, and can cause it to snap.
Reportedly, sand is a much more reliable path to belt failure than gravel.
The sprocket tooth design is meant to deflect gravel to the inside of the swingarm towards the wheel.
The bike has an upper debris guard made of soft ABS plastic, but does not have a lower guard.
From Mis-Alignment
An unaligned belt can wear really badly and break sooner.
Wear
Generally, watch for belt damage and try to anticipate when to replace the belt to avoid an incident on the road where the belt snaps.
What to Check
• Check the teeth for wear and cracks.
If you see cracks in the tooth forming, the belt is getting old.
If you see deep cracks starting, it's time to replace the belt ASAP.
Rear Drive Belt Wear Analysis
When to Replace
• When it snaps.
• When any teeth have been ground off.
Hard Skips
• If the belt experiences a "hard skip" from debris between the belt and a sprocket, it is likely to fail soon after. Watch it carefully if this happens.
Tension with aging
Apparently, per forum user JaimeC, belts don't wear like chains.
As they get older they'll actually get tighter, not looser like a chain.
• When a chain ages, the little bearing points between the links and rollers wear causing the chain to hang looser.
• When a belt ages, the rubber on the inner/toothed side begins to swell.
Since the Kevlar belt on the outer circumference won't stretch, the inner circumference will shrink making the belt tighter around the sprockets.
Generally, you want to make sure the belt hasn't gotten any tighter since you brought it home.
References
Damage
Bumps
Belts are most commonly damaged by using the throttle in the moment that a wheel becomes airborne, over a bump at speed, say.
If the wheel spins up momentum in the air, regaining traction on landing will jerk the belt, causing a loss of belt teeth or the belt may snap entirely.
Debris
Gravel, road debris, or sand can damage or snap the belt if caught between the belt and the sprocket.
Sand seems to be the most sure to destroy a belt; gravel has a lower probability given some basic design protections that should scatter gravel out of or away from the sprocket.
Teeth loss tolerance
Missing belt teeth can be tolerated briefly until a replacement can be made by riding at low torques (easy acceleration, not too high sustained speeds).
The front sprocket has up to 28 total teeth, and only half of those can be in contact with the belt at any given moment, so a continuous sequence of stripped belt teeth might continue up to perhaps 12 but any length of missing teeth is riskier as it gets longer.
The teeth and inner surface of the belt can melt into the front sprocket if the sprocket slides where there are not teeth
If the front sprocket slides, the front sprocket will go fast and it will take out additional teeth as the wheel catches up
Eventually you will have to remove material from the front sprocket or replace it. And eventually the belt will break and you will be unable to climb a San Francisco hill (does this sound oddly specific?)
Scraping out the material with metal can damage the sprocket. Avoid it. A hardwood dowel or a polycarbonate rod, sharpened, is better. Acrylic is too weak.

Krikit Tension Gauge gauge and instructions
Video Guide
MostlyBonkers made a How-to video:
Tips
• Turning the back wheel backwards before measuring will give different readout compared to turning the wheel forwards before measuring using the same spot.
The difference may be significant to the (pre-2017) 20-30kg belt tension specification.
For wide-belt 2017+ models, the tension specification is very wide (~25-75kg) and thus has a lot of leeway but seems worth a rotational check anyway.
• The center of the belt can be reached from below, without removing the mudguard.
This is described as a note in 5.14 in the 2015 manual
Steps
More detailed generic instructions for the Krikit deflection device
1. Ensure the blue indicator arm is pressed down.
2. Place the gauge in the center of the belt span, such that it is aligned longitudinally with the belt length.
3. Place a finger on the blue pressure pad and depress this pressure pad.
4. Keep pressing the blue pressure pad until you feel and hear a distinct 'click'. When this 'click' sound is heard, do not press any further.
5. Remove the gauge and read the belt tension by observing the point where the top side of the blue indicator arm crosses the numbered scale on the gauge body.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the gauge is not 'rocked' when pressing down on the blue pressure pad. The strap above the pressure bar is provided to attach snugly over the finger and prevent any 'rocking' motion.
• Due to the fact that this device requires some amount of practice and operator skill, the accuracy and repeatability of the tension readings are not high.
Improvement
Because this procedure is not trivial to perform consistently, there is a modification to make the tension gauge easier to align
Gates' Carbon Drive mobile app
As of 2017, the Official Owners Manual also includes a procedure using Gates' Carbon Drive mobile app to check belt tension.
Usage
• Use the application in a quiet environment.
• Pluck the belt near the center of the lower belt span, so it vibrates like a guitar string.
Recommended Belt Tension
Belt Type Years Resonant Frequency Tension Range
Narrow 2013-2016 96.3 Hz – 124 Hz 20 – 30kg
Wide 2017+ (except S 13.0) 42.5 Hz – 73.6 Hz 25 – 76.5kg
The frequency can also be checked with instrument tuning apps such as Tuner-gStrings for Android.

Novaculops woodi
Novaculops woodi, the Hawaiian sandy or Wood's wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. This wrasse is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands in the Pacific Ocean where it is found in areas of sandy rubble as depths of less than 48 m. Novaculops woodi was originally described as Xyrichtys woodi in 1901 by the American physiologist and histologist Oliver Peebles Jenkins (1850-1935) with the type locality given as Honolulu. peebles gave this species the specific name woodi in honour of the Stanford University professor of hygiene Thomas Denison Wood.

Talk:P. G. Wodehouse/Archive 2
Info-box
At the recent PR it has been suggested that the list of pen-names in the box should be moved to the main body of the text, leaving a pretty empty box that is surplus to requirements. I would support such a move. Comments pro or con from all interested editors are cordially invited. Tim riley talk 20:46, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
* Support removal - Tim, I agree. The pen-names should be removed and as you correctly predict, the box would look redundant and ridiculous. I say remove it entirely. Cassianto Talk 21:19, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
* Support removal. I also support this. Wodehouse did not write any of his important works under the pen names anyhow, and the rest of the information is redundant and takes up valuable space at the top of this well-illustrated article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:43, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
* Support removal—I see no reason in having it if it does not give any information that the lead does not. As far as I can see the only thing we now have in the infobox that is not in the lead directly alongside is the place of death (Southampton, NY, US). I would recommend putting the place of death into the lead (probably at the end of the third paragraph; "He died in 1975, aged 93, in Southampton, New York" or similar) and doing away with the box. — Cliftonian (talk) 21:47, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
* Support removal The article is well supported by well written - even elegant - prose; an infobox would have to be full of interesting bits and pieces. This one is sadly lacking such information. Scr ★ pIron IV 13:28, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
* Support removal I was in two minds over this recently, but on reflecting over the point for the last week or so, I think we're probably better off with without it. Partly my decision was swayed by my removing the pen names form the box. These names were only ever used in minor pieces (as far as I can tell not on any of his books) and are unknown to all but a very tiny proportion of his readers, so more questions are raised than answered by putting them into such a prominent position. What is left is in the lead, and it is easily findable to anyone who spend more than a few seconds of their time looking for it. – SchroCat (talk) 13:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
* Support removal I didn't say anything during the peer review about it as thought it was the preference of the writers. I could accept it as it is, but whatever you think looks best.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
* I say! Never knew such unanimity in all my life! Despite which, I think we ought to leave this thread unactioned for a day or so to allow time for anyone who demurs to add his or her voice. Tim riley talk 19:18, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
* Box duly removed. Tim riley talk 07:11, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
* Well, I read this page after adding infobox writer. The article looked bare without it to me. I like the quick summary of the infobox. I read the article for the first time a day or so ago, as text in another article mentioned Wodehouse, so I wanted the link to be correct. Today I came back to add the box, and read the article more thoroughly. I did not put in anything that seemed controversial, like a list of his best-known characters or anyone's favorite novel. Just pulled together that nice list of facts that shows life time, type of writing, citizenship. If that gets anyone upset, you can undo it in one go. He is a writer I like a lot, but I read his books mainly before Wikipedia existed, so I never thought to read this article before now, when editing the article on Portuguese Irregular Verbs, a book by Alexander McCall Smith. It is an excellent article on Wodehouse, by the way. --Prairieplant (talk) 14:59, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
Where is the infobox?
Why isn't there a infobox - telling you how old he was when he died, where he was born and buried, wife and family. Is there some esoteric reason why I have to read a whole article to pick out important little facts that are sprinkled through the entire piece? The point of an infobox is it contains the bullet points of a person's life. This is particularly important if this articled is viewed on a smartphone. You don't want to have scroll through to get the basics.
Why have infoboxes if they're not going to be used? The point of them is to act as a precis to the whole article.
The fact that this is a featured article - and there is no infobox - only proves to me once again that wikipedia is just bunch of clans bitching about who controls the knowledge. It's not engagement through the proliferation of information. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 12:33, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* If you have tried to edit the article (or just view the source), you may have seen the hidden note which says this: "A consensus exists not to have an infobox – see Talk:P. G. Wodehouse – so please do not put an infobox without seeking to change that consensus on the talk page." So that looks to me like reasonable agreement and fair compromise rather than "just bunch of clans bitching about who controls the knowledge." Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:44, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
Poor style
How can this be a featured article, when in the opening paragraph the word ‘loquacious’ is employed three times in the same sentence? — Muckapedia (talk) 31 e mai 2016 0h09 (−4h)
* You're absolutely right. This clumsy wording was added earlier this year in a drive-by edit. Now reverted. Tim riley talk 07:27, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
There don't seem to be a lot of citations in the opening paragraphs. In particular, this sentence does not seem to fit with the wikipedia standards...it reads as salesy and would not help someone understand the topic:
" with tall tales on subjects ranging from bibulous bishops to megalomaniac movie moguls." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4898:80E8:B:0:0:0:440 (talk) 19:19, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Poor Bertie
I think the article lead's description of "the feather-brained Bertie Wooster" is a bit harsh. He is, after all, the narrator of all that brilliance. No person I'd describe as feather-brained could possibly write like that, and besides, readers generally would agree with his assessments of things. Surely he would be better described as merely hapless or frivolous or quandary-prone or something less easily interpreted as lacking in general intelligence.--<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:00, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
Pull-quote from Times
This article has a lot of pull-quotes - quotes separated from the text in colored boxes. It's got eight of them! While this can be an effective technique it shoudl be used sparingly, largely because it makes it harder to scroll through articles, especially on mobile devices. See []
I believe a pull-quote of praise from a Times editorial in the 1930's section should be removed - in fact, I did remove it, but it has been returned. It's an uninteresting bit of praise that adds nothing: the article already makes it clear that institutions and people praised him. We don't need to break up the text to add this example. I suspect it's there because an editor thinks it looks better to have some piece of "art" in every section, but that's a magazine-layout idea that doesn't apply to wikipedia.
I'd like to remove it again, but rather than get into a back-and-edit edit kerfuffle, does anybody else have an opinion? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 18:12, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
* Remove--there are plenty of quotes so keep the most important, notable and compelling. --Jaldous1 (talk) 18:04, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
* Firstly they are not pull quotes in the correct use of the term. Secondly they are there for a reason (more than one, actually), so please don't second guess why you think an editor has decided to put quotes in—you are quite wide of the mark. Given the length of the article, eight is not "overuse" - all were there when the article went through PR and FAC three years ago, and without complaint. We don't write solely for mobile devices (although when I look at this on a tablet I get no interference from the boxes), although others' mileage may vary; de gustibus and all that. - SchroCat (talk) 18:28, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
* Good point about my misuse of the term "pull quotes" - they aren't in the text so they're not being pulled out for emphasis. My argument is that, IMHO of course, this particular quote serves no purpose except to look nice, since it's uninteresting and adds no content of any value. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 18:54, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
* Well, it doesn't seem like enough people share my mild concern to make a change. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 13:53, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
BBC4 play 'Wodehouse in Exile'
There is disagreement about whether to include mention of the 2013 BBC4 TV drama "Wodehouse in Exile" in the article, or merely as a footnote. Here's a review about it: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/9953374/Wodehouse-in-Exile-BBC-Four-review.html
Any thoughts? - DavidWBrooks (talk) 16:53, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* It isn't "merely" in the footnote, it just is in the fn: that is still in the article, just not within the body of the text.
* Appearance on one of terrestrial television's least watched channels is, in the wider context of Wodehouse, his life and legacy, not terribly core to our understanding of him or his work. Judged from that point, it is a piece of trivia. However, because it is about him, it just about warrants a mention on the page, if not in the body of the article. - SchroCat (talk) 17:06, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* Few people check footnotes, whatever their format. It might as well not be there, IMHO.
* I would argue that the fact the BBC thought this one part of Plum's life was significant enough to build a play around it reflects the impact that it continues to have even decades later. That's why it's worthy of mention in the body of the article - not because of the broadcast itself so much as what it shows about Britain's reaction then, and now, to the events. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 17:13, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* "Few people check footnotes"
* We labour the point about the impact of his wartime activities enough in the article. Trivia, like a one-programme on the least-watched channel on terrestrial television, shouldn't be in the article. Just because it has appeared on television doesn't mean it is of encyclopaedic value (Christ, I've appeared on television – twice. Should I start an article about myself now?!) such trivia needs to be considered with a sense of perspective. – SchroCat (talk) 17:28, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* Indeed, and our respective senses of perspective have reached different conclusions, as is often the case when human beings interact. Let's hope others chime in. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 17:37, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* Hello, Wodehouse fans! The article describes Wodehouse's wartime exile and activites in detail. The fact that someone made a TV show about it (that did not receive any particular international acclaim) is exactly the sort of thing that footnotes are for, in my opinion. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* I concur with Ssilvers and SchroCat. Mention of this minor fact even in a footnote is borderline, I'd say, and moving it into the main text would be disproportionate and unbalancing. Tim riley talk 18:31, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* Well ... all great ideas begin in a minority of one, so I'll claim that my idea is great! - DavidWBrooks (talk) 23:03, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
* And the bad ones remain in a minority of one? - SchroCat (talk) 23:09, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
Category:English broadcasters for Nazi Germany
I understand why Wodehouse is categorized in Category:English broadcasters for Nazi Germany, but I find it unsatisfactory. That category is a child category of Category:English Nazi collaborators. Wodehouse was not a collaborator in the legal sense, and postwar consensus is that he wasn't one in the moral sense either. He certainly isn't traveling in the same company as John Amery or Jack Trevor. It's an important incident in Wodehouse's life, but I wonder if there's a better way to capture it. Mackensen (talk) 19:18, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* Istr that Burgess was quite rude about PGW and the war, or had one of his characters, or perhaps one of his characters' characters, be quite rude about him. I vaguely recall them having a post-BrAnschluß Wooster or similar character go Cheeriheil! or something. But no, that is hardly a post-war consensus ... cheers DBaK (talk) 14:57, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
* I don't know how much notice any readers take of categories, but the preposition here is ad rem. Wodehouse's broadcasts were from but not for Nazi Germany. But as I doubt if most visitors to Wikipedia ever look at the categories it probably doesn't matter much. The facts are, of course, made clear in the text. Tim riley talk 17:55, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
* I agree that categories are pretty useless, except to a subset of wikipedia geeks. They're like "genre" listings for music infoboxes - something that editors fuss about endlessly but which are irrelevant to readers. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 19:26, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
Humorist
In an attempt to head the on-coming edit-war off at the pass ...discuss.I note that humourist in the OED redirects to "humorist". —— SerialNumber 54129 10:59, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* Thanks. To be honest, I've never seen it spelled any other way and "humorist" is certainly correct in British English. I think this is a case of hypercorrection. Deb (talk) 11:04, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* There's related discussion on my talk, but will be archived soon. - Deb, if you are right (which may well be but really doesn't matter in an edit war), please see to our article humorist not telling us that it's humourist in British Englsh. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:16, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* Seen to :) in any case, WP:WPNOTRS, etc. At least this is where the discussion should take place though, I agree. It's presumably a case of the root differing from the affix. —— SerialNumber 54129 11:25, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* Looks like there's plenty of RS that use "humourist", including the BBC, The Independent, etc. Perhaps a case where both are commonly used. Nikkimaria (talk) 11:55, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* What's even better is when the BBC calls Wodehouse himself a—you guessed it! ;) —— SerialNumber 54129 12:08, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* I would have to argue that "humorist" is far more common in British English. "Humourist" looks to me like an archaism. I can understand why people who aren't British would think that "humourist" is "correct", because of the analogy with words like "colourful" and "armoury", but that's just not the case. I note that it's referred to in dictionaries as "an alternative spelling" that's [only used in] British English, and that may lead people to think that it is "an alternative spelling" that's [always used in] British English Deb (talk) 12:47, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* I think that Deb is right here – that we often see a hypercorrection leading us back to a spelling which is largely abandoned. Looking at the examples given ... well I am rubbish at this ngram thing but on a simple google I can say that on the Indy website it's about 2:1 against the U, and on the Beeb it is more like 10:1 against. Most importantly to me (and yes we all have our idols and belief systems) my 2005 ODWE (i.e. an actual book, printed on bits of paper!) lists humorist and humorous and says explicitly not to use that U. That's good enough for me, being somewhat close to the Voice of G*d. Oh and online too, though I don't know if you can see it without a sub - just in case, here it is for some if not all. (Yes, I tried pressing its Cite button – it just gazed sadly back at me.) Also, why has no-one yet done a non-U joke here yet?? Best to all, DBaK (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* Goodness me, DBAK, you really can't trust actual books ''printed on bits of paper!, you know. Martinhitler123 (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
* – I'm embarrassed to admit that I am getting the new edition tomorrow! It's not called ODWE any more as they rolled it in with Harts and called it the New Oxford Global Sex Food Life and Death Manual or something, but the idea is the same. ODWE - not so much an addiction, more a way of life. Who said that? Me, actually. DBaK (talk) 14:52, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
* And jolly good show too, I say, what ho! So very glad to see that they still have lashings of your favourite turquoise ink down at that jolly quaint local stationers of yours. MartinBrinkley123 (talk) 21:48, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
Copyright
I'm wondering about the copyright implications of linking to the Russian Wodehouse site, as we do in the external links. As far as I know Orwell is still in copyright, and I am concerned that we may be falling foul of Copyrights. Tim riley talk 21:38, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
* I think that might be right contributory copyright infringement may be a problem here. - SchroCat (talk) 22:24, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
* I'll comment it out, pending clarification. Better safe than sorry. Tim riley talk 18:16, 19 October 2018 (UTC) Later: I've asked the Wikipedia copyright experts for a a view. Tim riley talk 20:36, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
Slang
I took out a newly-added edit about Wodehouse's use of slag today. It was my intention to drop it into a more appropriate section, but when I looked at the source, I found it was a blog site, so this cant be used as a source anyway. - SchroCat (talk) 09:47, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
* I'm surprised he's using slang today. But what about a dictionary source? Martinevans123 (talk) 09:54, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
Bible
Should this material, recenty added by User:Rob Reilly, be included:
* Wodehouse also displays a fair acquaintance with the King James Version of the Bible, when he brings in well known phrases and references to Bible stories in Bertie's thoughts.
Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:59, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
* Wodehouse's use of the Authorised Version may perhaps be worth a mention, suitably worded, and not as a one-sentence paragraph, but the sourcing of the recent insertion is dodgy. The first source is OK, a respectable academic site, but of the rest, one gives the bible only a passing mention, two are from fan sites (one of them excellent admittedly but still a fan site), and one from a religious propaganda outfit. I don't think we can be said to be in WP:RS territory here. Tim riley talk 20:25, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
* Yes, the first source looks OK. I thought the last was somewhat obscure, but seemingly respectable, saying this: "First Things is published by the Institute on Religion and Public Life, an interreligious, nonpartisan research and educational 501(c)(3) organization." Martinevans123 (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
* How about this,
* A new short sentence following the sentence about Clarke Olney and poets, but in the same paragraph.
* Wodehouse also used allusions to and quotes from the Authorized Version or King James Version (1611) of the Bible., ,
* Rob Reilly (talk) 01:45, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
* I think we can safely just refer to the King James Bible; it is more usually known in Britain as the Authorised Version, but the former is clear enough. The Madame Eulalie page is most interesting but does not, I think, qualify as a WP:RS: better to stick to the one citation to the clearly OK university source. Tangentially, I have noticed some allusions in the canon to the Book of Common Prayer, but I have no RS to hand on this point. Like other boys from public schools, Wodehouse would have absorbed some of his biblical knowledge from the daily reading from the BCP in chapel. The translations in the BCP are not the same as those in the AV: for example, in Psalm 35:14: "I went heavily, as one that mourneth" (BCP) and "I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth" (AV); I think I remember noticing the former somewhere, though in which book I cannot recall. But I digress. As Olney also mentions the Bible I have made a brief addition to the page, citing him and the university site. See what you think. Tim riley talk 09:05, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
* The first is fine, although it doesn't refer to which version of the bible (it's very probably the King James, but we can't make the claim if the source doesn't);
* I see Tim has added Olney as a secondary source to show the use of King James - which works well for me. - SchroCat (talk) 09:12, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
* The second I wouldn't consider reliable when discussing Wodehouse;
* The third is a fansite, and therefore should not be used. - SchroCat (talk) 09:06, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Clarification edit
An IP made this edit which IMHO clarifies the text and helps with adhering to WP:V. It has ben reverted without referring to the quality of the change but with mention of the editor as 'an IP edit warrior'. Please could others comment on the value of the proposed changes?SovalValtos (talk) 08:42, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
* It was explained in a previous reversion: the IP has just edit warred to their preferred version, which you have enabled by continuing the reversion cycle. It does not clarify anything, and is entirely within WP:V. - SchroCat (talk) 08:47, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
* I hesitate to use the word 'fatuous' but the IP's change was singularly unhelpful. The version that SchroCat has restored is preferable. It also happens to be the one approved by numerous reviewers at PR and FAC. Tim riley talk 10:03, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
* Semiprtoected for one week. As an aside, I was re-reading The Mating Season (in Hebrew — which has the benefit of excellent footnotes) today, which is always good for a laugh! El_C 09:43, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
* I've always wondered about this: does Wodehouse translate well into other languages? Much of his language is so 'English' - archaic and full of schoolboy slang, that I've always wondered how well it works. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 09:48, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
* As mentioned, the Hebrew translation has footnotes —a lot of footnotes (usually two or more for every page!)— which goes on to elucidate a lot of that. Much is lost in translation, though, I'm sure. El_C 09:57, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
* Usborne devotes a whole chapter (17 pages) to a study of efforts to translate Wodehouse. He leaves the reader to make up his own mind, but gives enough examples to make it clear that a very great deal can be lost in translation. Among Usborne's examples is the German version of Leave it to Psmith, the opening lines of which are:
* At the open window of the great library of Blandings Castle, drooping like a wet sock, as was his habit when he had nothing to prop his spine against, the Earl of Emsworth, that amiable and boneheaded peer, stood gazing out over his domain.
* The German for the whole of that sentence reads:
* Am offenen Verandofenster in Schloss Blandings stand Lord Emsworth and blickte auf seine weiten Domanen.
* Usborne comments, "Would you say that Herr Fraenkel [the translator] had wrung the last drop of meaning out of the English?" Tim riley talk 11:37, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
* Interesting. I wish the translation I have would have featured a page or two by the translator — a practice which is quite common for Hebrew translations. But to his credit, the translator, Dan Daor, does an excellent job. The language is lively and playful and, again, references which the average Israeli reader would probably find rather obtuse or obscure are clarified in brief footnotes throughout. El_C 11:55, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
Recent additions
I have reverted the recent changes by. They are plainly good faith and other editors may disagree with my deletion of them. It seems to me that the additions to the lead are a bit too detailed and are covered appropriately in the main text. And though I am a great fan of Madame Eulalie, I'm not at all sure the site qualifies as a WP:RS. Happy to discuss further if other editors disagree with my take on this. Tim riley talk 19:50, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
Spelling
Please User:SchroCat can you explain why you consider it OK to have spelling in another version of English rather than the British English specified in a 2015 hatnote, as stated in your edit summary to this edit. The spellings in question being humourist and humorist.SovalValtos (talk) 18:20, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
* See the OED. - SchroCat (talk) 18:25, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
* User:SchroCatThank you for your time spent explaining.SovalValtos (talk) 18:49, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
* See also Chambers Dictionary and Fowler's Modern English Usage. "Humorist" = correct BrE form. Tim riley talk 18:53, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
Link to Orwell journalism
Could user User:SchroCat explain why he reverted the edit linking to the full text of Orwell's "In Defense of PG Wodehouse". I have a glimmer of an idea that it might be for copyright reasons, but an explanation would be nice, and helpful to me. Thomas Peardew (talk) 16:16, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
* It was partly for copyright reasons and partly because that isn't a reliable source. (sorry about the lack of edit summary - I hit the wrong part of my iPad as I was about to add it). - SchroCat (talk) 16:32, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
Reception and reputation section
Hi everyone, I recently added a large amount of information to the 'Reception and reputation' section in an edit which was reverted by, who explained that such a large edit should be discussed in the talk page first when it comes to featured articles. That's a good point that didn't occur to me, and I'd like to thank Cassianto for the clear explanation. In line with what Cassianto explained, I am now proposing here on the talk page to redo that edit, which involves adding information about Wodehouse societies and actor portrayals, and also splitting the section into two subsections. I didn't remove anything from the section. Please take a look at the changes I made at this link or in the page's edit history. Thanks for your time. Miles26 (talk) 16:31, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
* Cassianto is right, but as one of the principal contributors to the existing text I have no problem with Miles's addition. It's substantial, and perhaps could be slimmed a little (hark who's talking!), but is relevant, proportionate and well sourced, I think. May I say what a pleasure it is to run across an editor who doesn't park his (or her) tanks on the lawn, but engages in discussion here? Tim riley talk 17:15, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
* , hello, thanks for being understanding on this. I agree with Tim, what you've added is very good, but may need some fettling before it is added. Thank you for taking this in good spirit. Cassianto Talk 17:21, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
* and, thank you very much for your responses. I don't have much experience editing featured articles and I am very grateful for your feedback and guidance. I have no problem with what I wrote being trimmed, but I don't know what parts should be removed. Would one or both of you be willing to trim it, or tell me what to change? I've copied the section as it was in my edit to my sandbox. You are both welcome to edit the sandbox, and please let me know if there is a different place or process I should use for working on the edit. Miles26 (talk) 07:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
* I'll look in later today, I hope. Tim riley talk 08:06, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
* Ditto on what the others say: thank you for your patient approach here; the material is all pertinent, but just needs a bit of trimming ere and there (particularly around the activities of the societies, which is drifting too far away from an encyclopaedic biography, I think. I've hacked about with the text a little in your sandbox, dropping the portrayals into a footnote and getting rid of the clubs's activities, while leaving the core of the information there. The one thing I don't now like is the subtitle "Honours and influence". "Honours", when seen as a subtitle in WP, tends to signify a list of knighthoods, awards and the assorted tinware that causes dinner jackets to lose their shape. The current name isn't necessarily wrong, but the expectation for some people may jar. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 08:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
* Thanks, . I have tried to think of a word to replace "Honours" in the subtitle "Honours and influence", but I haven't been able to come up with anything. Do you know of a word or subtitle that would be better? Miles26 (talk) 06:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
* Does anyone have any ideas regarding the subsection title? Or any other thoughts about the material in my sandbox? Miles26 (talk) 18:49, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
* I think that unless someone comes up with something crisper, we can go with your title for the time being, and your content seems to me to be fine. Tim riley talk 19:45, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
* All right, is there anything else I should do, or can I add the material in my sandbox to the article? Miles26 (talk) 09:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
* OK with me. - SchroCat (talk) 09:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
* , looks good. Cassianto Talk 10:28, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
* I'll do the edit now. Thanks again, , and for your help. Miles26 (talk) 07:27, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
Excellent work by, me judice. Thank you Miles and other colleagues for such a thoughtful and accommodating exchange, and a worthwhile addition to the article. Tim riley talk 21:51, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
Infobox
Why are we avoiding an infobox for this article? It makes the article seem out of date. I'm sure they also help seo and APIs having the structured data in the article. Crazytonyi (talk) 17:24, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
* This has been carefully considered and rejected. See the archive of this talk page. Tim riley talk 18:41, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
* That discussion only concerned whether to put pen-names in the then-existing infobox. When people agreed the pen names didn't belong, they decided there wasn't enough material left to keep the infobox, so it was deleted. They never debated whether a properly edited infobox was a good idea.
* Besides, that was five years ago. I am in general not enthusiastic about infoboxes but they have become standard on articles about authors. If it's good enough for Mark Twain, Agatha Christie and Chinua Achebe, I don't think Plum should stand aloof. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 19:12, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
* It seems to me that the I-B for Dame Agatha is a locus classicus of why an I-B is a lousy (to use one of PGW's favourite adjectives) idea for an author like Wodehouse. Look at the "notable works" ("notable" being a highly weasly weasel word): I could nominate at least one alternative for most of the works listed. True, the first three and the last one are copper-bottomed, but some of the others are distinctly also-rans, in my view. And do we really give a hoot who her nephew was? I am a great fan of info-boxes where they serve a useful function – career stats for politicians, sportspeople, clergy etc, but for creative artists they are not helpful to the reader and make Wikipedia look a bit silly. You will note that the ODNB etc feel no need for such a thing. Tim riley talk 19:30, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
* Just because an infobox has a category doesn't mean it needs to be used. We're editors, not just box-checkers. And Crazytonyi's comment about their role in SEO and API is notable. Even if we don't like it, that's not a good reason to treat this article differently than similar ones. (Also, I don't know what ODNB is) - DavidWBrooks (talk) 00:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
ODNB appears to be a prestigious print based encyclopedia of British notables, first published in 1885.
I had something more like Wikidata or DBPedia in mind. I agree that some infoboxes are awful, and can have garbage in them. But it's very useful for a quick fact check of what year someone died, their birthplace, or other biographical details; and they can often draw you further into an article you expected to only skim. The current article requires a commitment to learning about the library that not everyone who is causally interested is ready to make. Biographical articles should not just be a reward for people who have already gotten a passionate interest in a topic. Are there better Agatha Christie novels than on her infobox? Almost certainly. But her article isn't just meant for people who have such depth of knowledge. Those who love the subject or who know it back and forth are meant to be editors of those articles, not the primary audience. Crazytonyi (talk) 03:05, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Follow up note: I've found that many decisions regarding wikipedia articles are driven a bit by a specific presentation of the article. We don't always realize that the way something is organized is based on how we personally interact with the article layout itself. If you aren't normally reading wiki articles on a phone, you may not realize how much information is hidden under the top level article headers. I think anyone who reads a lot of biographical articles on their phone would know how helpful it is to have infoboxes and well-broken-up sections for making the article more digestible. Crazytonyi (talk) 03:10, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* I'd say go ahead and add it, and we'll see how it goes. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 17:27, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* And I would say that's a pretty shoddy suggestion, ignoring the views of all the PR and FAC reviewers that the article without an I-B is of FA standard. Tim riley talk 17:53, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* But what could we put in an info-box that would be (i) encyclopadically objective while also being (ii) helpful to the reader? Look at the Beethoven article for what you end up with if you try. It makes Wikipedia look very amateurish. Tim riley talk 07:45, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* I think you're assuming that the infobox is read as part of the whole article, which makes it redundant at best. But it serves a separate purpose - it's a quick summary and, as Crazytonyi says, is the main thing (or maybe the only thing) that many readers encounter, especially on mobile devices. The Beethoven infobox is quite good: It gives a quick summary of important life facts; the article's still there for people who want more details. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 12:43, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* The Beethoven info-box says "Notable work: list of compositions" (directing readers to an entirely different article, God save us!), and tells you things that no visitor to the article is likely to care about – the names of his parents. How does that comply with WP's policy that info-boxes are to "summarize key features of the page's subject?" I'm all for info-boxes when they do that – I added this one recently – but they don't usually work for creative artists. Tim riley talk 13:02, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* An infobox on this article would be unnecessary and inappropriate as it will contain nothing that isn’t already in the lead section. Dreamspy (talk) 17:56, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* That's not necessarily a problem: an infobox isn't an information supplement, it's a repackaging for different readers - as WP:INFOBOX says "keep in mind the purpose of an infobox: to summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article." The lead is more than 20 sentences and four full paragraphs, and it talks about Dulwich College and working at a bank before it mentions Jeeves. It's a well-written introduction for a full article but not for casual readers who know little or nothing about PGW and who are reading on a small screen, especially in this quick-info-bite world. This article needs to serve them, too. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 18:38, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* If you read the previous contributions carefully you will see why that is not really an option. Let's see if a consensus emerges for such a change as you advocate. Tim riley talk 18:52, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
While sports and politician bios can benefit from infoboxes, most articles in liberal arts fields, as here, do not. See arbitration report: "Infoboxes may be particularly unsuited to liberal arts fields when they repeat information already available in the lead section of the article, are misleading or oversimplify the topic for the reader". I disagree with including an infobox in this article because: (1) The box would emphasize unimportant factoids stripped of context and lacking nuance, in competition with the WP:LEAD section, which emphasizes and contextualizes the most important facts. (2) Since the most important points in the article are already discussed in the Lead, or adequately discussed in the body of the article, the box would be redundant. (3) It would take up valuable space at the top of the article and hamper the layout and impact of the Lead. (4) Frequent errors creep into infoboxes, as updates are made to the articles but not reflected in the redundant info in the box, and they tend to draw vandalism, fancruft and repeated arguments among editors about what to include. (5) The boilerplate infobox templates create a block of code at the top of the edit screen that discourages new editors from editing the article. (6) It would discourage readers from reading the text of the article. (7) IBs distract editors from focusing on the content of the article. Instead of improving the article, they spend time working on this repetitive feature and its coding and formatting. (8) Particularly for so good a writer as Wodehouse, this mechanical feature is abhorrent. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* I concur, and would just add that there is a formidable consensus to overturn: 6 reviewers at PR and 8 at FAC approved the article without an info-box. We discussed an I-B at the former and agreed it didn't want one. Tim riley talk 19:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* There certainly is no consensus for one. I do think, however, that the anti-infobox point of view comes from people (like me) who are familiar with WP and read it through websites, and overlooks the value that they give to casual readers and those who only use mobile devices. But I'll stop bellowing like a mastodon across a primeval swamp. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
* That is most gracious, thank you. Tim riley talk 21:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Money needed to prevent big asteroid strike – Light Years - CNN.com Blogs
By Tom Cohen, CNN The good news is that the chances an asteroid big enough to destroy a continent or all of civilization will hit Earth this year are only one in 20,000, a congressional panel learned Tuesday. The bad news is the government needs to spend billions of dollars in coming years for new technology to prevent such a possible catastrophe, regardless of the low probability, experts told the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. The odds are very small, but the potential consequences of such an event are so large, it makes sense to take the risk seriously, contended John Holdren, who directs President Barack Obama's Office of Science and Technology Policy. Current efforts to detect and analyze possible space threats like the meteor that exploded over Russia last month, injuring more than 1,000 people and causing millions of dollars in damages, have made progress in identifying the threats, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told the committee. He said scientists have identified 95% of asteroids more than a half-mile in diameter - the kind that threaten human existence if they strike Earth, like the six-mile-wide one believed to have wiped out dinosaurs 65 million years ago - and found none on a collision course with the planet. However, the detection efforts have been less successful for smaller meteors still capable of causing major loss of life and damage, such as the one over Russia. Only 10% of meteors more than 150 yards wide - dubbed potential city killers by Holdren - have been detected, meaning more than 10,000 are out there without our knowledge, he said. If scientists detected a major asteroid headed for Earth now, it would take at least five years to develop an effective defense system to either alter its course or possibly destroy it, no matter how much money was spent, according to Holdren and Bolden. Government plans to bolster detection and mitigation capabilities include an infrared sensor that would orbit Venus, as well as a laser system or other method to deflect any threatening meteor away from Earth, they said. We really need to have space-borne assets, said Bolden of the infrared sensor that would cost more than $500 million. Another NASA goal endorsed by Obama is to send an astronaut to an asteroid for the first time in history by 2025, a project that would cost $2 billion, he said. Asked by panel members about the effects of forced spending cuts this year due to the inability of Congress to agree on fiscal issues, all the witnesses described heavy impacts. Just about my every working moment these days is consumed with this topic, Gen. William Shelton, commander of the U.S. Air Force Space Command, said about the spending cuts that took effect March 1. He added that we are clearly less capable. Bolden noted that NASA's budget for detecting Near Earth Objects has multiplied in recent years to reach more than $20 million in 2012. Now, he said, Congress needs to at least maintain such funding to prevent stagnation or, even worse, atrophy. This is really important and it has to be continuous, he said. humans should look to the sun for hyper speed type energy, look at the rate of speed we see in solar flares (the super energy), then ask yourself what one type of object dots the nights sky with a spread over trillions of miles, we already know the sun has projectiles and gas flying off at well basically the fastest stuff known to man, the stars will trump everything from an assault rifle to a nuke once able to, i was reading that satelites can get pretty close to the sun due to the cold in space, they should try to harvest one of those flares, that is the key to unlocking the new age – the sun So according to this post, I have a greater chance of watching a civilization being destroyed by an asteroid (1 in 20,000) than being hit by lightning (1 in 1,000,000 http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/medical.htm). I think someone needs to fact check this article. ...or perhaps you need to be more afraid than you've ever been for the rest of your natural life! Faking an asteroid landing by 2025 may not be worth the effort. It's makes more sense for NASA to expand the International Fake Station, and perhaps build a fake a base on the Moon. We've already spent billions on these 'sets', so why spend billions on creating an 'asteroid set' for such a fake? Let's stick with our current fakes instead of wasting waning tax monies on new ones.... http://www.fountainsofthegreatdeep.com/IFS.htm Light Years strives to tell the stories of science research, discovery, space and education.

Page:The chemical history of a candle.djvu/216
214 the candle, where the heat makes it glow like a spark. I have again and again tried this experiment upstairs in my own room, and have easily fused this platinum-wire by a common candle. You see we have, therefore, heat enough in the candle, as in the voltaic battery, or in the highly-exalted combustion of the blowpipe, but we do not supply a continuous source of heat. In the very act of this becoming ignited, the heat radiates so fast that you cannot accumulate enough to cause the fusion of the wire, except under the most careful arrangement. Thus I cannot melt that piece of antimony by simply putting it into the candle; but if I put it upon charcoal, and drive the fiery current against it, there will be heat enough to melt it. The beauty of the blowpipe is, that it sends hot air (making hot air by the combustion of the flame) against the thing to be heated. I have only to hold the antimony in the course of that current, and particle by particle of the current impinges upon the antimony, and so we get it melted. You now see it red-hot, and I have no doubt it will continue to burn if I withdraw it from the flame and continue

Article Evaluation "Benjamin of Tudela": 1.) "The subject" in the Journey section seems a bit off. It sounds too much like a report. The article should just say "Benjamin of Tudela" 2.) Also on the Journey, the word "whence." The article says "His journey began in Zaragoza, further down the valley of the Ebro to Tarragona, Barcelona, and Girona, whence he proceeded north to France, then set sail from Marseilles." "Whence" makes it sound, again, too much like a report or as if you're reading a book and not an overview styled Encyclopedia page. 3.) Everything is relevant to the article's subject matter. 4.) The facts, for the most part are unbiased, except for the part at the end of the overview section. That whole last paragraph beginning with a "While the aim of his journey..." and ending with "Thus portraying..." The way this paragraph presents itself sounds like it is in a research essay and not in a Wikipedia article. 5.) In the section "Journey" there are air quotes around "long road." Air quotes are a little too informal, even for Wikipedia. 6.) Despite all I just said, the "Journey" section for the most part was pretty decent. 7.) Links for the citations all work. 8.) All sources appear to be cited 9.) The talk page for this article seems a bit contentious. One reviewer, granted from almost ten years ago, cited this article as a bad article considering its lack of concrete citations and shaky facts. 10.) One thing that I wanted a bit more information on is Benjamin of Tudela's biography. Is there any information what so ever as to his pre-travels life or even afterwards?

History
Punk Globe, is a fanzine and online magazine, started by Ginger Coyote, in July 1977. It was originally distributed on xeroxed pages folded together. After its first year anniversary, Chris Coyle, Manager for SVT, a notable San Francisco-based punk band at the time, suggested a newsprint format.
As Ginger Coyote wrote on the website, "We found Grant Printing--a company owned by the influential Fang Family, publishers of Asian Week and the San Francisco Independent Community newspapers (and for a while, the San Francisco Examiner)--for the following 7 years. For our last 2 years, the magazine upgraded to heavier stock white paper printed at SF Litho." (shown on the right).
It was published it as a fanzine until 1989, when she started a band called White Trash Debutantes.
The content of Punk Globe included a calendar of events, gossip, interviews, record reviews, photos, artwork, the Punk Of the Month Award; and the hilarious advice column, "Ask Sonny Bono."
According to its publisher, "The magazine was lighthearted and a lot of fun... It became a hit, and in the last few years, 25,000 copies were being printed."
Punk Globe also has had its celebrity contributors: Bebe Buell was Associate Editor :and writer, Jello Biafra wrote record reviews under the name "The Taste Police;" and Dorothy Lyman, Robert Crumb, Liz Derringer, Joe Jackson, Jon Gries, Lisa Zane, Matt Dillon, Ernie Townsend, Andrew Stevens, Judd Nelson, John Synder, Mark Arnold, Courtney Love, Billy Gould, and Joe Dallesandro have provided artwork, songs, articles or photos.
The online version of Punk Globe surfaced in 2005, and contains some of the old content--articles, ads, artwork, photos and letters from past Punk Globe issues--mixed in with totally new artwork and photographs, gossip, news, interviews, record CD, DVD, film and book reviews.
According to Ginger Coyote, the website gets approximately 8,000 hits per day.
Newer additions are is the Punk Globe Forum.

Cloud Computing vs. On-Premises: Unleashing the Benefits
Introduction
In today’s digital age, businesses are constantly looking for ways to optimize their IT infrastructure and improve efficiency. Two popular options that companies consider are cloud computing and on-premises solutions. Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services over the internet, while on-premises solutions involve managing and maintaining the IT infrastructure within the organization’s premises.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing offers a wide range of benefits for businesses of all sizes. Here are some of the key advantages:
On-Premises
On-premises solutions, on the other hand, involve hosting and managing the IT infrastructure within the organization’s premises. Here are some of the benefits:
Benefits of Cloud Computing
1. Cost Savings: Cloud computing eliminates the need for upfront hardware and software investments, reducing capital expenses. Businesses only pay for the resources they use, resulting in cost savings.
2. Scalability: Cloud computing allows businesses to easily scale their resources up or down based on their needs. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for businesses with fluctuating demands.
3. Flexibility: Cloud computing offers the flexibility to access applications and data from anywhere, anytime, using any device with an internet connection. This enables remote work and enhances collaboration.
4. Reliability: Cloud service providers offer high levels of uptime and reliability, ensuring that businesses have access to their applications and data at all times. Service level agreements (SLAs) provide guarantees for uptime and performance.
5. Security: Cloud service providers invest heavily in security measures to protect their customers’ data. They have dedicated teams and advanced security protocols in place to safeguard against cyber threats.
6. Maintenance and Updates: With cloud computing, businesses can offload the responsibility of maintaining and updating the infrastructure to the service provider. This allows organizations to focus on their core competencies.
7. Integration: Cloud computing offers seamless integration with other cloud-based services and applications. This enables businesses to leverage a wide range of tools and technologies to enhance their operations.
Benefits of On-Premises
1. Control: With on-premises solutions, businesses have complete control over their IT infrastructure. They can customize and configure the systems according to their specific requirements.
2. Security: Some businesses prefer on-premises solutions due to the perceived higher level of security. They have full control over their data and can implement their own security measures.
3. Compliance: Certain industries have strict regulatory requirements that may necessitate on-premises solutions. Keeping data within the organization’s premises ensures compliance with regulations.
4. Performance: On-premises solutions can offer better performance and faster response times compared to cloud-based solutions. This is particularly important for applications that require low latency.
5. Long-term Cost: While cloud computing offers cost savings in the short term, on-premises solutions may be more cost-effective in the long run for businesses with predictable and stable workloads.
Cost Considerations
When comparing cloud computing and on-premises solutions, cost is an important factor to consider. While cloud computing offers cost savings in terms of upfront investments and maintenance, on-premises solutions may be more cost-effective in the long run for businesses with predictable workloads and high utilization rates.
Security Considerations
Security is a top concern for businesses when choosing between cloud computing and on-premises solutions. While cloud service providers invest heavily in security measures, some businesses may prefer the control and customization options offered by on-premises solutions.
Scalability
Scalability is another key consideration. Cloud computing allows businesses to easily scale their resources up or down based on their needs. On-premises solutions may require additional hardware investments to accommodate growth.
Flexibility
Flexibility is an advantage offered by cloud computing. It allows businesses to access applications and data from anywhere, anytime, using any device with an internet connection. On-premises solutions may have limitations in terms of remote access.
Reliability
Cloud service providers offer high levels of uptime and reliability through their infrastructure and redundancy measures. On-premises solutions may require additional investments to achieve similar levels of reliability.
Maintenance and Updates
With cloud computing, businesses can offload the responsibility of maintaining and updating the infrastructure to the service provider. On-premises solutions require businesses to allocate resources for regular maintenance and updates.
Integration
Cloud computing offers seamless integration with other cloud-based services and applications, providing businesses with a wide range of tools and technologies. On-premises solutions may require additional effort for integration.
Making the Decision
Choosing between cloud computing and on-premises solutions depends on various factors such as cost, security, scalability, flexibility, reliability, maintenance, and integration requirements. Businesses should assess their specific needs and evaluate the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.
FAQs
1. Q: Is cloud computing suitable for all businesses?
A: Cloud computing can benefit businesses of all sizes and industries. However, certain businesses with specific security or compliance requirements may prefer on-premises solutions.

1. Q: Can businesses integrate on-premises solutions with cloud-based services?
A: Yes, businesses can integrate on-premises solutions with cloud-based services. However, it may require additional effort and resources to ensure smooth integration.
1. Q: Can businesses use a combination of cloud computing and on-premises solutions?
A: Yes, businesses can adopt a hybrid approach, where they use a combination of cloud computing and on-premises solutions. This allows them to leverage the benefits of both options.
1. Q: What are the long-term cost considerations for on-premises solutions?
A: On-premises solutions may require upfront investments in hardware and ongoing maintenance costs. However, for businesses with predictable workloads and high utilization rates, on-premises solutions may be more cost-effective in the long run.
Conclusion
Choosing between cloud computing and on-premises solutions is a critical decision for businesses. While cloud computing offers cost savings, scalability, flexibility, reliability, and seamless integration, on-premises solutions provide control, security, compliance, performance, and potential long-term cost advantages. Businesses should carefully evaluate their specific needs and consider the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.

Sperm FAQ
How many sperm is considered normal?
According to the World Health Organisation, the amount of sperm in the average ejaculation is about 100 million. Men with less than 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen may risk having infertility issues, according to the NHS.
How many men in the UK are affected by a low sperm count?
Up to 1 in 5 young men in the UK are affected by a low sperm count. That, along with poor sperm quality, is the cause of infertility in about 20% of couples with fertility problems in the UK. It’s also a contributing factor for another 1 in 4 couples.
What should I do if I think I have low sperm count?
Seek medical advice if you are concerned, particularly if your partner hasn’t managed to conceive after one year of trying for a baby. Doctors will be able to carry out fertility investigations including a semen test to check the quality and quantity of your sperm, as well as any issues with your partner.
Only one sperm is needed to fertilise an egg, so why make so many?
Sperm have such a difficult journey from the woman’s vagina to the fallopian tubes, that only a few survive the trip. Even if a sperm does make it, it still has to penetrate the egg, which is covered by a thick layer of material which makes fertilisation hard. Some researchers believe the difficulty of the process weeds out all but the healthiest sperm and is nature’s way of making sure only the healthiest sperm succeed, with the best chance of producing a healthy baby.
Can I improve sperm health?
Keeping yourself healthy ought to ensure the health of your sperm. Healthy lifestyle choices include:
• Not smoking, no use of illegal drugs, or in particular, of anabolic steroids
• Limiting contact with toxic substances such as pesticides or heavy metals
• Limiting alcohol consumption
• Eating a nutritious diet and maintaining a healthy weight
Other measures include:
• Keeping the scrotum area cool (heat hinders sperm production)
• Avoiding hot baths and hot tubs
• Choosing boxer shorts over tight underpants and avoiding jeans and other trousers that restrict movement.
How long do sperm live?
This depends on where they are. Inside a woman's body, depending on the conditions, sperm can live for up to 7 days. So, bear in mind you can get a woman pregnant if you have unprotected sex before she ovulates as the sperm may still be alive when she does.
How long can sperm survive outside the body?
Again, this depends on the environment. On a dry surface, like bedclothes or clothing, sperm die before the semen is dry. Sperm can survive longer in a warm bath or hot tub as they thrive in wet environments. However, the chances of getting a woman pregnant this way are very low.

Page:Lehrmann v Network Ten Pty Limited (Trial Judgment).pdf/279
consideration: first, whether it is legally possible to award no damages instead of nominal or derisory damages; secondly, the relevance of an English line of authority relied upon by the respondents as to an alleged abuse of process on the part of Mr Lehrmann; and thirdly, the principled approach to dealing with evidence of misconduct on the part of Mr Lehrmann in the counterfactual (that is, following the rejection of the defence of substantial truth for the reasons assumed).
INo Damages or Nominal Damages
981 At common law, once an applicant has proved the publication of a libel, and in the absence of a successful defence, an entitlement arises to an award of damages, even if they are nominal. The presumption of damage reflects the emphasis that the common law of defamation gives to protecting reputation.
982 In Palmer v McGowan (No 5) (at 727 [502]), I turned to the question of the proper approach when having considered the three purposes of an award of compensatory damages, the conclusion is reached that no substantial damages should be awarded and I said (at 727–728 [503]–[506]):
[503] … The best statement as to the meaning and incidence of nominal damages is given by Lord Halsbury LC in The Mediana [1900] AC 113 (at 116):
""Nominal damages" is a technical phrase which means that you have negatived anything like real damage, but that you are affirming by your nominal damages that there is an infraction of a legal right which, though it gives you no right to any real damages at all, yet gives you a right to the verdict or judgment because your legal right has been infringed."
[504] "Nominal damages", remarked Maule J in Beaumont v Greathead (1846) 135 ER 1039 (at 1041), "means a sum of money that may be spoken of, but that has no existence in point of quantity". The authorities reveal that after an early period in which the amount could be miniscule, such as a farthing in Mostyn v Coles (1862) 7 H & N 872; (1862) 158 All ER 723, in England, the amount eventually crystallised at the figure of £2, although £1 was sometimes awarded. In the last half the twentieth century, the amount buffered between £2 and £5, but the new century has seen a reversion to £2, which amount has said to be "the traditional sum": Village Investigations Ltd v Gardner [2005] EWHC 3300 (QB) (at [77] per Seymour J). Although, again, £1 has sometimes been awarded.
[505] A distinction has sometimes been drawn between "nominal damages" and "contemptuous damages" or "derisory damages", connoting damages in the amount of the lowest coin of the realm. Two key points of distinction between nominal damages and contemptuous damages appear to be: first, that contemptuous damages may be awarded in respect of any tort, whether actionable per se or not, and secondly, contemptuous damages are

Italian draft budget is due mid-October: EU budget commissioner
ALPBACH, Austria (Reuters) - Italy must hand in a draft budget by mid-October despite the political turbulence there, the European Union’s budget commissioner said on Friday. “All member states have to deliver their draft budget mid-October,” Guenther Oettinger said at an economic event in the Austrian province of Tirol. Italy’s president asked Giuseppe Conte on Thursday to return as prime minister in a new coalition of the 5-Star Movement and opposition Democratic Party (PD), a move that could improve Italy’s fractious relations with the EU. Oettinger said he hoped Italy soon had a new government able to deliver at least a first budget draft. “If they say we need five or 10 more days, no problem,” he said.

Send all outgoing email trough one IP address in postfix
When a server has more than one IP address, then postfix will use all IP addresses randomly to send out emails. This can cause your emails to be listed as SPAM on other servers because the sending IP does not match the reverse IP of the server hostname. The solution is to bind postfix to the primary IP address of the server.
Edit the postfix main.cf file:
nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
and add the line:
smtp_bind_address = 192.168.0.1
were 192.168.0.1 has to be replaced with the primary IP address of the server. Multiple IP addresses can be separated by comma, example:
smtp_bind_address = 192.168.0.1, 127.0.0.1
Then restart postfix:
service postfix restart

Leider ist die Lösung hier überhaupt nicht hilfreich. Wenn man unter ISPConfig 3 den Postfix wie angegeben konfiguriert werden die Mails von AMAVIS nicht mehr angenommen und es geht gar nichts mehr raus.
Sinnvoller ist die folgende Anpassung in der /etc/postfix/master.cf:
smtp unix – – – – – smtp
-o smtp_bind_address=217.14.118.60
127.0.0.1:25 unix – – – – – smtp

I need to do this (staring to get blocked by hotmail, aol, yahoo, etc – no reverse found, even though I have set it), and did it yesterday. Then I had no working mail. No mail was being processed or delivered. I also tried modifying the /etc/postfix/master.cf, which contained smptd_bind_address=127.0.0.1 to our principal server IP, and that did not help either. Connections were “lost” immediately after connection the logs show. Additionally amavis could not connect.
In the master.cf file there is a line: 127.0.0.1:10025 for smptd, and there are lines referring to amavis with 127.0.0.1 see in both files, I believe. I don’t know if all references to 127.0.0.1 need to be changed to our main IP in both files, or not?
Can you give any further advice on this, please? I have the “perfect server deb squeeze, courier postfix, fail2ban … set up the way your tutorial describes it with ISPConfig3.
Thanks for any further advice.

The lost error is from Amavis, as it wants to talk through 127.0.0.1 and not your smtp IP.
In Debian the easiest way to fix this is by adding this to main.cnf:
inet_interfaces = 192.168.1.1, 127.0.0.1
smtp_bind_address = 192.168.1.1
And create a file in /etc/amavis/conf.d/ (ie 60-custom) with is in it:
@inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 [::1] 192.168.1.1 );
(where 192.168.1.1 is the IP you have postfix sending from)
Restart Postfix and Amavis, and it should all work 🙂

Hi,
instead of a primary ip address from the web server, could be a secondary ip address? I just do it and at the first sight, everything works well.

Kyeema, South Australia
Kyeema is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located about 39 km south of the state capital of Adelaide and about and 27 km north-west of the municipal seat of Goolwa.
Boundaries for the locality were created on 31 August 2000 for the “long established name” which is derived from the former Kyeema Prison Camp (also known as the Kyeema Camp) whose site is in the north of the locality within the boundaries of the Kyeema Conservation Park.
The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Kyeema shared a population of 31 people with the western side of the adjoining locality of Blackfellows Creek.
Land use within the locality is restricted to a range of low-impact agricultural activities by the regulatory requirement not to “adversely affect the quality or quantity of water resources” due to the locality’s location within the Mount Lofty Ranges Watershed. Permitted uses include “commercial forestry, grazing, low intensity farming activity, small scale winery, cellar door sales, small scale restaurant associated with a winery or cellar door sales” and “on-farm rural produce sales.”
Kyeema is located within the federal division of Mayo, the state electoral district of Heysen, and the local government area of the Alexandrina Council.

William Weld Says He Sees Nothing ‘Criminal’ in Hillary Clinton’s Email Use
William Weld, the vice-presidential nominee for the Libertarian Party, said Wednesday that he believed Hillary Clinton had done nothing “criminal” in using personal email as secretary of state. Mr. Weld spoke during a wide-ranging interview alongside Gary Johnson, a former governor of New Mexico and the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee. Both secured the Libertarian nomination Sunday at the party’s contentious convention in Orlando, Fla., over the weekend. The remarks from Mr. Weld, who served as the governor of Massachusetts as a Republican in the 1990s, are deeply at odds with criticisms from Republicans over Mrs. Clinton’s tenure at the State Department and the scandal involving her use of a private server for all work emails. His comments could also fuel further skepticism among some Libertarian voters who view Mr. Weld’s right-of-center years as governor with suspicion. They could also inflame criticism that he is a de facto stalking horse for Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic front-runner for the nomination. Mr. Weld gave a single-word response about whether Mrs. Clinton was a good secretary of state: “Yes.” He was equally succinct when asked if her use of a private email server, now the subject of an F.B.I. investigation, was a legitimate issue. “No,” said Mr. Weld, a former prosecutor, adding that he had read of no evidence that would clear the bar for criminality. “I think it’s a nonstarter.” He was noncommittal as to whether it showed poor judgment on behalf of Mrs. Clinton, but pointed out that Colin Powell had also used private email while secretary of state under George W. Bush — a point often made by Mrs. Clinton’s aides. Mr. Weld has been friendly with Mrs. Clinton since they worked together on the impeachment team of the House Judiciary Committee during the presidency of Richard M. Nixon. He praised her as “kind” and smart. He saved his harshest words for Donald J. Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, whom Mr. Weld has excoriated for anti-immigrant speech. “The wall is a joke,” Mr. Weld said of Mr. Trump’s vow to build a wall along the border with Mexico. But, he added, “I would say it was a joke if it didn’t remind me so much of the Berlin Wall.” He compared Mr. Trump, who has an ardent base of supporters, to Jim Jones, the cult leader whose followers committed suicide by the hundreds, drinking poison at his urging in Jonestown, Guyana, in 1978. “Everybody was so fanatically devoted to him that they drank the Kool Aid — and it wasn’t particularly good Kool Aid,” Mr. Weld said. “The analogy there is just the ability to stimulate a fanatical following. And that’s fine, but if the fanatical following leads to fanatical behavior, that’s not fine.” Mr. Weld and Mr. Johnson appeared to be adjusting to their roles as running mates. Mr. Weld, a starchy Northeasterner from a deeply pedigreed family, appeared unaccustomed to playing second fiddle to Mr. Johnson, who is fond of marijuana and embraces being called a “fringe” candidate. The two men disagreed more than once during the interview. At one point, Mr. Johnson expressed reservations about changing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to include protections for gays, lesbians and transgender people. But Mr. Weld quickly said he personally would have no problem with it. And while Mr. Weld praised Mrs. Clinton’s years in the State Department, Mr. Johnson criticized the foreign policy doctrine of the Obama administration. Both said they were still discerning policy differences with Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Trump, although they struggled to come up with deep policy differences with Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Weld made clear that he saw the presumptive Republican nominee as a clear and urgent threat. “In the case of Mr. Trump, there are questions about whether he would hue to a steady course as president,” Mr. Weld said. “And it may not be fair to posit that question against the backdrop of the Republican debates, but on the stability question, they were pretty bad.” “You don’t have that question with Mrs. Clinton,” he said.

Hangxiety: The Link Between Anxiety And Alcohol
132863
Drink long enough — or hard enough — and you’re probably familiar with the dreadful feeling that comes the morning after a night of over-imbibing. Maybe you try to replay the evening’s conversations in your mind or scroll through text messages to make sure you didn’t send something you regret. Or maybe you immediately start issuing mass apologies to friends and family.
While this can be a normal reaction to binge drinking, it can also be a sign of a deeper issue, something called “hangxiety.”
“Anxiety is a common feeling when people drink too much,” says Elizabeth Bulat, M.D., a substance abuse specialist at Henry Ford Health System. “And for people who are already prone to depression and anxiety, alcohol can worsen symptoms of those conditions.”
Hangxiety Explained
Hangxiety has become a buzzword that describes the uneasy feeling that often accompanies heavy alcohol use, but what does it really mean? We asked Dr. Bulat to explain what hangxiety is and how to manage it best.
Q: What is hangxiety?
A: Drinking alcohol dumps a flood of dopamine into the pleasure center of the brain. The feel-good chemical swirls through your head, but the rush only lasts for a short while. When dopamine levels dip back down, feelings of anxiety rebound. Researchers think that may be one reason why people who experience hangxiety, especially those who are extremely shy, may have a higher risk of developing alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Q: How does alcohol boost anxiety levels?
A: Heavy drinking produces physiological changes in the brain. When you’re drinking, there’s an influx of the GABA (gamma aminobutyric acid), which causes you to feel relaxed and calm. When you stop drinking, you have withdrawal symptoms. Your body gets used to that crutch to feel calm. Take it away and anxiety often follows. Add interrupted sleep to the mix, which often happens when people drink to excess, and feelings of depression and anxiety can get even worse.
Q: Who is most likely to develop hangxiety?
A: People who suffer from depression and anxiety are more likely to experience anxious feelings after drinking. Though alcohol can suppress anxious feelings while a person is imbibing, the rebound effect can be far worse than their baseline level of anxiety. Unfortunately, those uncomfortable emotions can drive people straight back to the culprit: alcohol.
Q: How does alcohol compare to medications used to treat anxiety?
A: Like alcohol, medications such as benzodiazepines that are used to treat anxiety target GABA in the brain. In fact, some people with depression and anxiety turn to alcohol to self-medicate. Unfortunately, self-medicating with alcohol or other substances increases the risk of developing substance abuse disorders, which can lead to negative effects on your heart, liver and other vital organs.
Q: How do you know if your hangxiety indicates an alcohol use disorder, or AUD?
A: If you’re using alcohol to soothe anxiety, that’s a red flag. It becomes a vicious cycle: You drink, you get anxious, then you drink more to relieve that anxiety. That’s how the trouble starts — and continues. Over time, you become dependent on the alcohol to function in your daily life. If alcohol becomes a coping mechanism, or you realize your body is getting used to the effects — not just anxiety, but also shakes, sweats and interrupted sleep — the risk of negative consequences skyrockets.
Q: How do doctors treat hangxiety?
A: If you’re drinking to manage feelings of anxiety — or if you regularly experience hangxiety after a night of drinking — talk to your primary care provider. There are a number of effective treatments available, not just for depression and anxiety, but also for AUD. Your doctor may suggest a variety of therapies ranging from cognitive behavioral therapy and psychotherapy to prescription medication for AUD or anxiety.
Put Hangxiety to Bed
Your best bet to avoid hangxiety is to drink responsibly, says Dr. Bulat. Pay attention to family members and loved ones who say they notice an increase in your drinking habits and stay within the recommended limits of alcohol consumption (one drink per day for women; two drinks per day for men).
If, despite these efforts, you still periodically wake up after drinking with feelings of anxiety, practice mindfulness. Pay attention to how you feel while you’re drinking and afterward. And when anxious feelings surface, turn to healthy alternatives like meditation, deep breathing or exercise.

ODP File Extension - What is it and how to open ODP format
odp
Opening ODP files
Have a problem opening a .ODP file? We collect information about file formats and can explain what ODP files are. Additionally we recommend software suitable for opening or converting such files.
What is the .ODP file type?
The .odp extension's primary association goes with the OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) file type and format. OpenDocument is a reference to the OpenDocument Format (ODF), which is an open international standard (ISO/IEC 26300 since 2006) that lays out definitions of more than a dozen general-purpose office document formats. ODP is part of ODF.
An .odp file is a document file that contains an OpenDocument presentation, a collection of pages (slides) with both text, graphics and multimedia content that can be controllably displayed in sequence before an audience.
As a standard ODF document, an .odp file is a ZIP archive with a directory structure containing all embedded objects, images etc. The actual document's structure, textual contents, styles, metadata are defined by several .xml files in the archive.
ODP files can be opened, edited, saved and converted into other formats with any of the ODF-compatible office productivity suites (mainly, open-source) that are currently available for all major platforms.
Alternatively, the .odp extension is also associated with the Actuate Analytics Parameters File (ODP) file type/format. Actuate BIRT Analytics is a commercial BIRT (Business Intelligence Reporting Tools) software solution designed by Actuate for its BIRT iServer.
With Actuate BIRT Analytics, .odp files are used to store parameter-value pairs needed to access multidimensional data storage entities referred to as cubes.
Software to open or convert ODP files
You can open ODP files with the following programs:
Microsoft Office
Microsoft Office by Microsoft Corporation
LibreOffice
LibreOffice by The Document Foundation

Add exec to run script to run app as PID 1 (#1200)
When running the docker container, the sh script will run as PID 1 and intercept any external signals (like docker stop) and won't pass it on to the app. Docker will wait for 10 seconds before proceeding to force kill the app, leading to both an unclean shutdown and an unnecessary wait of 10 seconds.
The exec in the script replaces the shell process with the `su` process, which correctly passes on signals to the app process and triggers a regular shutdown when doing a docker stop.

The composition of the population of the medieval city was extremely heterogeneous. The craftsmen prevailed in it, who themselves sold their own products, combining in one person an artisan and a merchant.
Most of the urban population was involved in the service sector. They belonged to hairdressers, owners of inns, laborers, servants, etc. In large cities, feudal lords lived with their vassals and servants, representatives of the royal administration, “black” and “white” clergy. To the urban population belonged professors, masters and students of universities, lawyers, doctors. Gradually, merchants appeared in the cities.
Almost every medieval city was filled with beggars. At first they were treated with understanding and sympathy. The destitute always
XV century. The Augsburg Rules on the Poor
The Council recognized the need and decided: first of all, in the future, everyone, whether married people, women or men, widows or unmarried, alien or local, burghers or city dwellers, protects everyone alike, either by day or at night, by the decree of the honorary council, from which they should receive a special badge, namely a tin sign. This token must be worn and carried to anyone who asks for alms, and without it, it is forbidden to ask for it. The exception is the foreign pilgrims and beggars who are allowed to beg for three days and no more. To those women and men who, as already said, are allowed to beg, we must wait for alms daily in front of the church, with their own children around whom it is protected to send for charity.
The population of medieval towns was relatively small. Large cities were
Initially, the townspeople, along with craft and trade, continued to engage in agriculture. They had gardens, vegetable gardens, and kept cattle. This phenomenon was observed, mainly, in small towns. Although the connection of a city dweller with agriculture remained for a long time.
Medieval cities for defense against attacks were usually surrounded by high stone or wooden walls with towers and deep moats filled with water. The city gates were closed at night. The walls around the city usually limited its territory. With the resettlement of the population from the villages became crowded. The territory had to be expanded several times, erecting new fortifications around the old wall. So there were suburbs, populated mainly by artisans. It was the craftsmen, together with the merchants, who were the watchdogs and replenished the city militia. They had to have weapons and be able to use them.
In the center of the city there was a market square. It was always crowded. The townspeople came here not only to buy or sell something, but also to meet with friends and hear news. Here, new decrees of the king, orders of the city authorities were announced, various holidays were held. Near the market square towered two buildings: the Cathedral – the main Christian temple of the city and the Town Hall. In the Town Hall, the City Council, the Magistrate, met and sat.
Closer to the center were the houses of the most prosperous and respected citizens. The house in the city could be purchased only by obtaining all the city rights. Full-fledged townspeople in each country were called in their own way: in Germany – By Burghers, in Italy – by Popolans, in France – by Bourgeois. The rest of the population was ordinary urban residents.
Since the city’s territory was small, the streets were narrow. Their width usually reached the length of the spear. Houses literally “stuck together” and were built in 2-3 floors. The main building materials were stone, wood, straw. The foundations became narrow, and the upper floors often hung over the lower ones, because the land in the city was very expensive. The streets were always dark, even on bright sunny days. At night the streets were also not illuminated. If a person was forced to go to a night city, they had to take a bowl or a torch. Cities with wooden buildings and thatched roofs often suffered from devastating fires. Therefore, there was a rule: with the coming of night to extinguish the houses lights.
The city streets were inhabited mostly by artisans of a certain specialty, which confirmed their names. There were streets of potters, weavers, shoemakers, tanners, blacksmiths, gunsmiths, etc. The entrance to the craft workshop was decorated with a special emblem. It symbolized the products that the craftsman made: kalach, boot, sword, key, etc. The windows of each workshop, as a rule, went out into the street. During the day, the shutters opened. The upper half was used as a canopy, and the lower half was used as a counter where the goods were exhibited. Through the open window you could see how these or other products are made.
In the medieval cities, the streets were not paved, because in the summer heat there was a pillar of dust, and in the spring and autumn the mud was knee-deep. Porcine was poured directly into the street, and economic waste was thrown into the same place. On the streets of the cities there was a disgusting smell.
Once the French King Philip II August, opening the window in the morning, fainted. As it turned out, the cause of this was extremely unpleasant smells from the streets of Paris. After this unfortunate incident, the king ordered the stone to be laid out. Probably, this was the first medieval pavement. The pavements appear around the middle of the 13th century, but not in all European cities. It is known that at the end of the XV century. residents of the city of Reutlingen persuaded the German Emperor Frederick III not to come to them because of the terrible state of the streets. Not listening to advice, the king nearly died with a horse in a swamp in one of the city streets.
The crowded population, lack of hygiene, general unsanitary conditions turned the city into a real nursery of pathogens and epidemics. From them, at times, a third or even half of the urban population died out. The medieval city was also poorly provided with drinking water. The first aqueducts appeared around the 12th-13th centuries. in Italy. Subsequently, people realized that it was mud and impurities that attracted the emergence and spread of epidemics. That is why at the end of the XIII century. magistrates begin to issue orders for the improvement of cities.
An integral part of the colorful life of the medieval city was the taverns. Here the townspeople and visitors could have a good rest and have fun. Since the 12th century, hotels and public baths have appeared in the cities, where hairdressers offered their services to visitors. A common hairdresser could do an uncomplicated surgery or, if necessary, give the patient blood. Medieval hospitals, and there were many of them in the cities, were called infirmaries named after the biblical healer St. Lazarus.

Brachyscome spathulata
Brachyscome spathulata, commonly known as spoon-leaved daisy, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It has dark green leaves, mauve daisy-like flowers and grows in New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory.
Description
Brachyscome spathulata is an upright, more or less smooth perennial herb to 60 cm high with a rosette of leaves at the base. The basal leaves are spoon-shaped, 3-6 cm long, 8-34 mm wide, margins toothed and sessile. The upper leaves are oblong-shaped, toothed, decreasing in size up the stem, woolly, 5-40 mm long, 1-11 mm wide and sessile. The flowers heads are borne singly, 10-20 mm in diameter, glandular, downy and the peduncle 15-40 cm long. The involucral bracts are lance-shaped, herbaceous, membranous, glandular to covered with short, soft hairs. The florets are mauve or light blue, occasionally white, a yellow central disc and the petal-like ligules 5-15 mm long. Flowering stems hairy, bracts in a single row of about 20–30, narrowly elliptic or oblong-lance shaped, 6-9 mm long, 1-1.7 mm wide and usually green. Flowering occurs from October to June and the fruit is a flattened, wedge-shaped cypsela, 2.2-5 mm long, 1.1-2.5 mm wide, brown and smooth.
Taxonomy and naming
Brachyscome spathulata was first formally described in 1830 by Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré and the description was published in ''Voyage Autour du Monde ... sur les Corvettes de S.M. l'Uranie et la Physicienne. Botanique''. The specific epithet (spathulata) means "spoon-shaped".
Distribution and habitat
Spoon-leaved daisy grows mostly in sub-alpine woodland, heath, grassland and dry forests in New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory.

Abstract
An iron molybdate/molybdenum oxide catalyst (Mo/Fe = 2) was synthesized by a hydrothermal method and the catalyst's performance and compositional changes were followed during selective oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde for up to 600 h. The activity was continuously measured for a series of experiments performed in a laboratory fixed-bed reactor with 10, 100, 250 and 600 h on stream under reaction conditions (5% MeOH, 10% O2 in N2, Temp. = 384–416 °C, W/F = 1.2 gcat h molMeOH−1). The structural and compositional changes of the catalyst were investigated by a number of techniques including: XRD, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, SEM-EDS and STEM-EDS. Methanol forms volatile species with molybdenum at reaction conditions, leading to depletion of Mo from the catalyst. Excess MoO3 was shown to volatilize and leave the catalyst during the first 10 h on stream, leading to an initial loss in activity of 50%. From 10 to 600 h on stream leaching of molybdenum from the remaining iron molybdate phase (Fe2(MoO4)3, Mo/Fe = 1.5) leads to iron rich phases (FeMoO4 and Fe2O3, Me/Fe < 1.5) and simultaneously an increase in activity to approximately 1.5 times the initial activity. Even at high degrees of molybdenum loss (Mo/Fe = 0.49) the formaldehyde selectivity remained above 92%, and the combined CO/CO2 selectivity was below 4%. This is likely due to a surface layer of MoOx on the catalyst at all times due to segregation and a surface in equilibrium with the gaseous molybdenum compounds. After 600 h on stream formation of β-MoO3 was observed, indicating that this molybdenum oxide phase is stable to some extent under reaction conditions.

Body mass index (BMI) is an estimate of body composition, based on weight and height. Doctors consider a moderate BMI for women to be 18.5–24.9. A BMI of 30 or above may indicate obesity.
BMI measurements can help someone understand whether they are underweight or overweight. However, BMI for people assigned female at birth has some limitations, as it does not measure body fat specifically.
In this article, we provide a BMI calculator, discuss the pros and cons of BMI measurements, and explain some other methods that people assigned female at birth may find useful for keeping track of their health.
Sex and gender exist on spectrums. This article will use the terms “male,” “female,” or both to refer to sex assigned at birth. Click here to learn more.

While BMI can act as a general indicator of health, it does not measure body fat.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines BMI as “a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of their height in meters.”
A person can use this calculator to determine their BMI:
Once someone knows their BMI, they can find out where their measurement falls in the following standard weight categories from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute:
BMIWeight standard
Below 18.5Underweight
18.5–24.9Normal weight
25.0–29.9Overweight
30.0 and higherObese
As a measurement, BMI is easy and inexpensive to measure.
BMI is a useful tool for understanding where someone’s weight falls on the scale from underweight to overweight. It can also help people maintain a moderate weight, which can reduce their risk for:
While it correlates with body fat levels, BMI does not distinguish between the weight that comes from fat, muscle, and bone.
As such, BMI alone may be a misleading measurement of someone’s overall health. This is particularly true for people who are very muscular, peri- or postmenopausal, or have abdominal fat but are otherwise a moderate weight.
BMI and muscle
Muscle tissue is denser than fat tissue. This means that people with high levels of muscle may have a high body weight that classifies them as being overweight or having obesity, even if they have a low body fat percentage.
People with high levels of muscle mass and a high BMI result typically have a lower risk of death than those with a high BMI score and lower muscle mass.
However, the limitation of BMI to account for this may lead to complications in treatment and affect a person’s insurance.
BMI and body fat
A high body fat percentage has an adverse effect on health. People with a moderate BMI but a high percentage of body fat may have a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome is a collection of risk factors that increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. These risk factors include high blood pressure, abdominal obesity and high fasting glucose levels.
BMI and age
Additionally, the proportion of muscle, fat, and bone in the body typically changes as people age. The average female loses roughly 13 pounds of muscle and bone between the ages of 25 and 65, while belly fat increases to four times its previous amount.
As a result, BMI calculations may be inaccurate for postmenopausal women, who may have high body fat percentages but maintain moderate BMI. In severe cases, this may lead a person to miss out on preventive treatments for obesity-related conditions.
Learn more about the limitations of using BMI here.
In addition to BMI, people assigned female at birth can use other methods to understand their weight, body composition, and risk for certain diseases.
Waist circumference
This method measures belly fat, which is a key indicator of someone’s risk for weight-related disease. People can measure the circumference of their waist using a soft tape measure.
A Cameroonian population study found that waist circumference is the best predictor of screen-detected diabetes.
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)
This method also measures abdominal fat and can be a strong indicator of future health risks. However, some researchers claim that taking a person’s waist and hip circumference into consideration as separate figures provides a better assessment of health risk.
A person can calculate their WHR by dividing their waist measurement by the circumference of their hips. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that a WHR of 0.85 or below for women means that they have a low risk for weight-related disease.
Diagnostic methods
Diagnostic tests that a doctor may perform include:
• Densitometry: This involves a doctor measuring someone’s body weight while they are in water. The test compares their weight measurements on land to their measurements in water to calculate body fat percentage. Densitometry generally only takes place in a research setting.
• Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry: X-rays move through fat, muscle, and bone at different rates, so this approach passes two low-level X-rays through the body to calculate relative percentages.
• Bioelectrical impedance (BIA): BIA estimates someone’s body fat percentage by passing a low-level electric current through the body.
• Isotope dilution: In this test, a person drinks water that contains isotopes and then provides samples of bodily fluids. These samples give a doctor information on the individual’s body composition.
• Skinfold measurements: During this test, a doctor will pinch folds of skin and measure their thickness. They will often repeat this at several sites on the body.
Learn more about calculating WHR and what the results mean.
BMI is one of the tools that individuals can use to determine a person’s risk of certain diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
However, BMI is an outdated measurement of overall health and does not take into account multiple physical variables such as muscle mass, age, and menopausal status.
Body fat percentage, bone density, and muscle mass can all change over time. As BMI does not measure body fat specifically, it may not provide someone with all the information that they need about their risk for these diseases.

The Connection Between Stress and Weight Gain
The connection between stress and weight gain
In today’s fast-paced world, stress has become more common than ever before. People are stressed about their jobs, health, relationships, and many other issues. High levels can have a negative impact on your life and complicate the situation even further. This is because our body is not configured in such a manner so as to handle prolonged periods of excessive stress. The side effects of taking too much stress can include insomnia and weight gain. This blog focuses on analyzing the link between stress and weight gain. It also provides a few tips related to dealing with it and proposes fat treatments as a long-term solution.
The Emotional Toll of Stress
Stress can be defined as a feeling of physical or emotional tension that arises due to both internal or external reasons. For many of us, whether it’s concern for a loved one, a looming deadline at work, or even the psychological pressure to achieve a personal goal, stress often disguises itself in various ways. During these times, your body primarily releases a hormone known as cortisol. In addition to cortisol, your body releases two other hormones known as epinephrine and norepinephrine.
When you experience a surge in stress for any number of reasons, you may feel hungry, and this is because cortisol has the ability to stimulate the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats in the body. Giving in to this hunger often leads to a spike in your appetite, and this directly impacts weight gain, which is then aggravated by a lack of exercise. Furthermore, cortisol can lead to fat deposition near the abdominal area, and this can contributes to cardiovascular problems. An important aspect to understand about being under continuous stress is that it is comparable to a domino effect where one thing could lead to another. A spike in cortisol causes your diet to fluctuate, which then impacts your body weight, and could lead to other conditions.
How to Deal with Stress
The best way to deal with high stress levels is to keep a positive attitude. Stress is often caused by negative thinking and blowing things out of proportion. It is completely fine to turn a blind eye sometimes for things that are beyond your control. Positive thinking could help you overcome problems by focusing on the solution. A more balanced diet can also help, ensuring that your body receives all the vital nutrients to prevent overeating. Thirdly, establishing a habit for regular physical activities is key. According to scientists, regular exercise can be a great way of averting stress. It will also help you stay fit and active.
Furthermore, try meditation and relaxation techniques as they will help you control your aggression and remain calm under all conditions. Yoga is a great way to clear your mind as well as build that connection between your body and mental wellbeing. Meditation is a part of a lot of people’s daily routine. All it takes is a few minutes out of your day. The objective is to focus on your breathing and find peace with your inner voice. All of these tactics can help you reduce the stress in your daily life and ensure that you are not stuck in the vicious cycle for long.
Fat Treatments as a Solution
If you are looking for a more result oriented solution, consider fat treatments as an alternative. The growth of the aesthetics industry has been on an upward curve in recent years. Similarly, fat treatments are also seen as a credible alternative to the traditional surgeries and medications that people used to rely on. These new-age treatments help you negate the weight gain that arises due to high stress levels. Fat treatments are the perfect solution for people busy lifestyle and are battling weight gain due to stress.
According to estimates, nearly 86% of consumers choose cosmetic procedures because they want to get rid of the excess weight that their body has accumulated. These cosmetic procedures have emerged as a great alternative to traditional surgical treatments that are risky and highly invasive. Cosmetic procedures have a high success rate and are not very time consuming either. These treatments are preferred by customers because they can be undertaken even if you have a very hectic lifestyle.

-- Australia Stock Futures Rise as Investors Await China GDP Data
Australian stocks futures rose after
better-than-estimated U.S. bank earnings and as investors await
a report that is forecast to show China’s economy slowed in the
second quarter. American Depositary Receipts of BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP) , the
world’s largest mining company, gained 0.3 percent from the
closing price in Sydney. ADRs of Woodside Petroleum Ltd.,
Australia’s second-biggest energy producer, advanced 0.4
percent. Those of Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. (293) , the world’s
largest cargo and freight carrier, sank 1.2 percent from the
close in Hong Kong . Futures Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index advanced 0.3 percent
and New Zealand’s NZX 50 Index was little changed. Futures on
the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) gained less than 0.1 percent and
contracts on Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index were little changed.
Japanese equity markets are closed for a holiday. “The U.S. reporting season has taken on a particular
importance as companies attempt to prove that their recent rise
in share prices is backed by earnings fundamentals,” Matthew Sherwood, head of investment market research at Perpetual Ltd.,
which oversees $25 billion in Sydney, said by e-mail. “Concerns
continue to mount about the growth outlook for China. U.S.
growth remains modest and with China slowing and European
problems resurfacing, there is likely to be sizable headwinds
for investors in the second half of this year.” Regional Index The MSCI Asia Pacific excluding Japan Index advanced 2.8
percent last week, paring this year’s loss to 5.8 percent, as
China’s money-market rates surged to a record and after Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said policy makers may start
reducing stimulus if the U.S. economy shows sustained
improvement. That left the gauge trading at 11.9 times average estimated
earnings compared with 15.2 for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index
and 13.2 times for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data
compiled by Bloomberg. Futures contracts on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index
of mainland Chinese companies trading in Hong Kong retreated 0.1
percent. The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index of the most-traded
Chinese shares in the U.S. dropped 1.4 percent in New York on
July 12. China’s economy, the world’s second-largest, probably
expanded 7.5 percent in the three months to June 30, according
to the median of 45 estimates surveyed before data due today,
after growth slowed to 7.7 percent in the first quarter. The
Shanghai Composite Index of mainland-listed companies has

MySQL Question
Can I do a mysql Select, Update and Delete in one query?
Can I say that one of many ways to optimize mysql is to reduce the number of queries?
If that so, can I do this:
- Select "data" => $A from table X
- Update $A from table Y
- Delete $A from table X
in one query?
Answer Source
You can't reduce the number of queries - they all do different things - but you could reduce the number of round trips to the database and the number of parses by wrapping it all as a PLSQL function.
However you can't select the data after you've deleted it.....but consider:
CREATE PROCEDURE s_u_d(a)
BEGIN
UPDATE tab_x SET tab_x.avalue=1 WHERE tab_x.another=a;
DELETE FROM tab_y WHERE tab_y.avalue=a;
SELECT *
FROM tab_x
WHERE tab_x.another=a;
END;
NB - you can also run multiple selects in the same procedure and handle multiple, different shaped result sets, e.g. see this page

A Brief Biography of Mirza Muhammad Baqir Sharif Tabatabaei Mirza Muhammad Baqir Sharif Tabatabaei was born in a village named “Qehi” in the vicinity of Isfahan.
Biography
His father, Mulla Muhammad Jafar was an admirer of Sheikh Ahmad Ahsaei Ala Maqami. After learning the basics from his father, Mirza Muhammad Baqir travelled to Isfahan to continue his education, and resided in Nimavard School where he studied different sciences for several years. Then he met one of the admirers of Haj Muhammad Karim Kermani, (who was also known as “Badr”). Since Kermani was on a pilgrimage to Imam Reza’s shrine in Mashhad through Yazd, he travelled to Yazd in the hope of visiting the great man in 1261 Hijri year. Since the path was dangerous, and Kermani had to return to Kerman, Mirza Muhammad Baqir accompanied him to Kerman, and resided in Ibrahimieh School, studying Islamic theology. In a short time he had reached a level where he could teach the lessons of his grand master. After several years, the date of which is not known, Kermani sent him to the city of Naein for preaching and guidance, where he spent some years preaching and proselytizing. Mirza Muhammad Baqir immediately gained the attention and respect of the Sheikhieh members of Naein, Anarak, Jandaq, Biabanak and the surrounding cities. Then he returned to Kerman, Until Kermani left for a pilgrimage to Karbala in 1283 Hijri year. When Kermani arrived in Hamedan, because of the great number of Sheikhieh adherents, and also lack of great leaders after the demise of Mullah Abdulsamad Hamedani, he appointed Mirza Muhammad Baqir as a leader in his absence, and continued his pilgrimage to Karbala. Mirza Muhammad Baqir stayed in Hamedan since his mentor had mandated it. He engaged in preaching, proselytizing and teaching Islamic principles for 32 years. He was a great leader and protector for the Sheikhieh members after the demise of his mentor, until 1315 Hijri. In Eid al-Fitr of 1315, when the riots of Hamedan occurred, he migrated to Jandaq village and stayed there for the rest of his fruitful life, teaching Islamic principles and preaching. Mirza Muhammad Baqir passed away on the 23th of Sha’ban 1319, at the age of 80. After Maqrib and Isha prayer. This great man was buried in the same village, but after two years, his body was moved to Mashhad, to be laid to rest in Imam Reza’s shrine, next to his Imam. He has left more than 190 manuscripts and almost 2000 sermons and teachings.
Mohammad Ibrahim, the third son of Mohammad Bagher Sabzavari, migrated to Ghahi village for some reasons during the Safavid period (probably during the Afghan sedition, when the murder, looting, and cruel killing of the innocent people of Esfahan, especially the scholars and the Taliban of Shi'a) Settled at the end of the western western village. The castle, which dates back a long time, is one of the village's main buildings and seven houses. These seven houses are surrounded by a long wall and seven adorned towers, seven meters high. Several generations of descendants of Mohammad Baqir Mohaqeq Sabzewari lived in this castle. Hence, they are known as castle families. Later she selected Ashrafi, Bagheri and Bagheri scholars
Birthday
Friday, the tenth day of Rabi Alaul 1239 AH and 22nd November 1319 AH.
Contemplate
Mirza Ja'far was a favorite of Sheikh Ahmad Ehsaee, and Sheikh went to his house on one of his trips. Mirza Muhammad Baqir Sharif Tabataba'i Hamedani first learned Olumi, like medicine and ... at the father, and then studied at the father's discretion at the Niamward School. That is why he taught various sciences there; he always engaged in the perfection of his soul and his time on religious practices.
Education
The passion for science and learning led him to meet Hajj Mohammad Karim Kermani. When he heard the visit of Hajj Mohammad Karim from Yazd to Mashhad, he was eagerly on his way. Because Hajj Mohammad Karim Kermani's visit was canceled, he went to Kerman with his Holiness and settled in Ibrahimya school. In summary, many years in Anjang and Kerman, in the presence of him, earned his grace for grace, until he was sent to the direction of guidance and guidance of the Nahinites; and after several years he returned to Kerman and continued to study with his teacher. He returned to Hamedan with the orders of the professor and the people of Hamedan and asked to publish the Ahlul-Bayt's facts. As long as in 1288, Hajj Mohammad Karim Kermani broke the world and some of his students who knew the knowledge and hardship of Haj Muhammad Baqir came to Nahrzad and came through Hamadan. Until the jealousy of his jealousy was burned in that day, and finally in Eid al-Fitr in 1315 AD. They attacked the Shaikhis of Hamedan, which killed some of its circle members and their emigration and their families to Ray and then to a village in the desert called Jandagh.
Death
At night, on the night of January 23, Shaban Al-Muzam in 1319 AH came to Dai al-Haq and gave life to the soul, and buried his body in the same jandagh safely.
Laden
After several years, the body transported them to Mashhad, and buried near Ali ibn Musa al-Reza in the new courtyard (Azadi) room number 3, which is now located at the entrance to the Darul-e Hakmah's porch.
Poetry
Your Excellency, who did not say that he was yours before your life, your price was obligatory for those who were right. Your right to love was included on your husbands and goddesses. Your prayer

Joseph Mazzello
Joseph Francis Mazzello III (born September 21, 1983) is an American actor. He is best known for his roles as Tim Murphy in Jurassic Park, Roarke Hartman in The River Wild, Eugene Sledge in the HBO miniseries The Pacific, Dustin Moskovitz in The Social Network, and Queen bass player John Deacon in the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody.
Early life
Mazzello was born in Rhinebeck, New York, and raised in Hyde Park, New York, the son of Virginia (née Strong) and Joseph Francis Mazzello Jr., who owned a dance studio. Mazzello went to the Catholic school Our Lady of Lourdes. He is an alumnus of the University of Southern California, entering the USC School of Cinematic Arts in 2001 following a recommendation letter from director Steven Spielberg. Mazzello paid for school with his salary from a small appearance in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), something the actor jokingly referred to as his graduation present from Spielberg.
Early career: 1990–1998
Mazzello's first film appearance was a small role in 1990's Presumed Innocent, starring Harrison Ford. He then went on to appear in Radio Flyer, Jersey Girl and the TV film Desperate Choices: To Save My Child in 1992. In 1993, Mazzello got his first big breakthrough when he portrayed Tim Murphy in Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park. Later in the same year, he also starred in Richard Attenborough's Shadowlands. He later appeared in 1994's The River Wild as Roarke Hartman.
In 1995, Mazzello had roles in The Cure (1995 film) and Three Wishes. Both films were critical and commercial failures. Mazzello continued his film career with lead roles in Star Kid in 1997, and in Simon Birch with Ian Michael Smith in 1998. Both were critical and commercial flops. He also provided voice-over work in the English dub of The Adventures of Buratino.
Television debut and directorial debut: 2001–2009
Mazzello's first film role in the 2000s was in 2001's Wooly Boys. In 2002, Mazzello made his television debut on Providence. He then appeared on CBS' hit shows CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Without a Trace. Afterwards, he appeared in Raising Helen (2004), The Hollow (2004 film) (2004), The Sensation of Sight (2006), and the short film Beyond All Boundaries (2009). Mazzello made his directorial debut with the short film Matters of Life and Death (2007).
2010–present
In 2010, Mazzello played Dustin Moskovitz, one of the co-founders of Facebook, in the David Fincher-directed film The Social Network. His performance was well-received by critics and he and the cast were nominated for several awards. During this, he played Eugene Sledge on the mini-series The Pacific (miniseries). Mazzello went on to appear in G.I. Joe: Retaliation as G.I. Joe operative Mouse in 2013. In 2018, Mazzello portrayed John Deacon in the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, reuniting with his co-star from The Pacific, Rami Malek. The Social Network earned $224.9 million, G.I. Joe: Retaliation $375.7 million, and Bohemian Rhapsody $903.7 million at the worldwide box office.

CBUX-FM
CBUX-FM (90.9 MHz) is a non-commercial French-language radio station, which broadcasts the SRC's Ici Musique network in Vancouver, British Columbia. It plays a mix of Adult Album Alternative, Jazz and Classical music with news updates.
The station broadcasts from the CBC Regional Broadcast Centre on Hamilton Street in Downtown Vancouver, while its transmitter is atop Mount Seymour in the District of North Vancouver. It also has a rebroadcaster on 88.9 FM in Victoria, British Columbia, which has the call sign CBUX-FM-1.
History
The station signed on the air on September 5, 2002. At first, it carried the Radio-Canada FM network live, even though Vancouver is three time zones away from Montreal.
In fall 2010, Espace musique stations in Western Canada began to air the network schedule on tape delay as appropriate for their respective time zones, in line with Radio-Canada's other terrestrial networks. Hence network programs now air on CBUX three hours after they air on Ici Musique stations in Quebec, Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Much of the daytime programming was devolved to local stations. On CBUX, Monique Polloni hosted from 9:00 a.m. to noon, followed by Célyne Gagnon until 3:00 p.m.
In addition, André Rhéaume hosts a world music program originating from CBUX which airs across the network on Wednesday and Thursday nights, from 10:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. local time.
Prior to fall 2010, all Espace Musique stations carried the entire network schedule without any recorded delays for time zone differences. During this era, CBUX was a partial exception: Rhéaume's program, which at the time was a two-hour jazz program which aired Monday-Thursday at 5:00 p.m. local time, followed by concerts at 7:00. This was the reverse of the order on most stations (concerts at 8:00 ET, jazz at 10:00 ET).
During the 2010 Winter Olympics, CBUX broke away from the national Espace musique schedule to broadcast a special radio service titled la radio culturelle, focusing on various cultural aspects of the games for French-language listeners.

Build Status
Simple retry mechanism for arbitrary function calls in scala.
We live in times where software systems are built by small services that are talking to each other. In such systems, transient errors can occur and interfere with the normal program execution flow. Transient faults are temporary abnormal conditions such as offline services, infrastructure faults, or network issues. It is common practice to retry transient faults using a retry loop mechanism. This minimalistic library tries to solve this problem by implementing the retry side effect and give the user different backoff strategies.

Abstract and Introduction
Abstract
Objective: This study assessed the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, and red cell distribution width (RDW) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and their correlation with disease activity.
Methods: Two hundred eight SLE patients and 205 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included. Disease activity was assessed using the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index 2000, and hematological indices were determined.
Results: Lymphocyte and platelet counts were significantly lower in SLE patients than in the controls, while the NLR, PLR, and RDW were significantly higher (P < .05). In patients with active disease, the neutrophil counts, NLR, and PLR were significantly higher than in those with inactive disease (P < .05), while the lymphocyte count was significantly lower (P < .05). Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analyses, only for lymphocyte count and PLR. The area under curve was significantly higher (P = .001 and P = .053, respectively).
Conclusion: PLR can serve as a biomarker for indicating SLE disease activity.
Introduction
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease with periods of exacerbation and remission that is characterized by an autoantibody formation against nuclear and cytoplasmic antigens.[1] Measurement of disease activity in SLE has a central role in clinical research and daily clinical practice for evaluating the response to treatment and clinical outcomes. The main challenges in measuring SLE disease activity are the multisystem nature of disease and the variation in disease activity involving 1 or multiple organs, which may vary between patients and even in the same patient over time.[1] Since no single measure can describe the condition in all SLE patients, complex and standardized measures composed of clinical and laboratory variables have been developed to evaluate SLE disease activity.[1] These measures use laboratory parameters like serum complement protein concentrations, complete blood count (CBC), and anti–double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (anti-dsDNA) antibody levels. However, there is still no reliable laboratory test that can independently measure SLE disease activity. Therefore, identifying novel biomarkers capable of monitoring the activity of SLE disease and improving the accuracy of currently available disease activity assessment tools are essential.
The CBC test is a common examination in the diagnosis and follow-up of rheumatic diseases. White blood cell count and its subtypes, like neutrophil and lymphocyte counts, have been identified as biomarkers of inflammation in several diseases. Recently, hematological indices, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and red cell distribution width (RDW), have been proposed as prognostic markers to determine the systemic inflammatory response and have been used in combination with other inflammatory markers to determine inflammation in several diseases, including autoimmune disorders.[2–4] Hematological indices are calculated from the CBC and can be considered inexpensive and easily attainable markers of inflammation.[4]
NLR is a parameter for assessing the inflammatory status of a subject in inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ulcerative colitis,[5,6] major cardiac events[7] and cancers.[8] NLR tends to increase in inflammatory disorders due to an increased number of neutrophils and decreased number of lymphocytes. Platelets, by releasing proinflammatory mediators such as chemokines and cytokines, play an important role in inflammatory reactions and immune responses.[9] Previous research demonstrated that higher platelet and lower lymphocyte counts were associated with adverse clinicopathological manifestations in some cancers[10] and myocardial infarction.[11] There are few studies that demonstrate an association between PLR and disease activity in autoimmune diseases like RA[12] and SLE.[2,13] MPV, an accurate measure of platelet size, is one of the most commonly used biomarkers of platelet function and activation.[14] MPV has been studied as a simple inflammatory marker in numerous chronic diseases, and a correlation has been demonstrated between the MPV and active inflammatory disorders.[15,16] A previous study showed that MPV was correlated with disease activity in active inflammatory bowel disease.[17] Moreover, MPV was evaluated in chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and Behcet's disease,[18–20] and it was found to be correlated with inflammatory process, disease activity, and response to treatment in RA and AS.[21,22] PDW is another marker of platelet activation which represents the heterogeneity in platelet morphology. Kisacik et al.[22] reported lower PDW in AS and RA patients than in the controls. In addition, Işık et al.[23] demonstrated PDW to be a negative acute-phase reactant for RA. RDW is a measure of the range of variation of red blood cells. Lippi et al.[24] reported an association between systemic inflammation and RDW.
Despite studies performed on the values of NLR, PLR, MPV, PDW, and RDW in SLE patients, it is not clear which values of these parameters are correlated with a higher risk for SLE patients, which cutoff point for these hematological indices can separate normal from abnormal results, and if there is any association between hematological indices and specific organ involvement. The aim of the current study is to assess NLR, PLR, MPV, PDW, and RDW in patients with SLE, as well as their correlation with the activity of disease.

Right string operation to remove the timestamp
I have a long date that I have converted to a text. Now I want to use the string operations tile to cut off the tail so I can have a nice clean date. the way it looks now in a string format is:
2022-02-24T12:08:34
What I want is:
2022-02-24
What I have been trying is:
But it leaving the date unchanged and that timestamp at the end is still there.
Thx

Answer ✓
That looks correct. Are you looking at the newly named column for your result as it won't affect the original column.
A better option might be to use the Formula tile and use the date function to extract the date from your field. It would look like this:
DATE(`drentlastchanged`)
This will not only produce just the date, but will make it a date column that will be more usable at the card level.

Caledonia Gladiators
The Caledonia Gladiators are a professional basketball club based in East Kilbride, Scotland. The Gladiators compete as the sole Scottish-based team in the British Basketball League, the top tier of domestic basketball in the United Kingdom.
Founded in 1998, the club has previously been based in Edinburgh and Glasgow, before being rebranded as Caledonia Gladiators in 2022, due to a change in ownership and location. Since 2023, the Gladiators have played all home games at the 1,800-seat Playsport Arena. The team's traditional rivals are the Newcastle Eagles.
Edinburgh Rocks
Established as the Edinburgh Rocks in 1998 by a consortium of businessmen, the team debuted at Meadowbank Arena under the helm of American coach Jim Brandon. Rocks were not the first Scottish team to compete in the British Basketball League (BBL), with both Murray Livingston and Glasgow Rangers making successful but short-lived appearances in the top-flight during the late 1980s. The franchise was admitted directly into the top-tier league to fill the slot opened up following the merging of Crystal Palace and London Towers. Despite being led by veteran coach Brandon, the team encountered a tough rookie season, finishing 9th in the 13 team league with a 12–24 record. Though finishing only one place off the Play-offs, Rocks were well adrift of 8th-placed Greater London Leopards, with a gap of 7 wins (14 points) between the two teams.
During the club's second season the Rocks effectively went bankrupt before being purchased by one of its existing directors, Ian Reid. Off-court problems did not detract much from the team's performance in the league, and the Rocks, bettered their inaugural season with a 19–17 record, finishing 3rd in the Northern Conference and qualifying for the postseason play-offs. They faced previous year's finalists Thames Valley Tigers in the Quarter-final, and despite a late rally, Rocks edged out their opponents to a 68–64 win, with American guard Ted Berry posting a team-high 16 points. Advancing on to the Semi-finals, the Scots came up against League champions and favourites Manchester Giants and despite trailing 52–28 at half-time, several incredible scoring runs from Rocks brought them to within 2 points of the Giants, with 2 minutes left. However, experience prevailed and the Giants held out for an 84–82 victory and advanced to the finals which they eventually won.
Edinburgh's third campaign saw coach Brandon move on and American coach Greg Lockridge take charge but he was fired after less than two months following a series of bust-ups with players and poor results. Scotland player Iain MacLean stepped up as player-coach but saw the side finish bottom of the Northern Conference, with a dismal 5–31 record and 1st round exits in the National Cup and the Trophy.
Scottish Rocks
In 2001–02 another American, Kevin Wall, was placed in charge and brought a mild turn in fortunes, finishing 4th (13–19). But it was another switch, in the summer of 2002, which proved more significant. Attracted by the opening of the brand-new 4,000-seat Braehead Arena in Glasgow, Rocks uprooted from their ageing Meadowbank venue in Edinburgh and moved 45-miles west to Scotland's largest city, and rebranded as the Scottish Rocks. The move received a mixed response from fans, whilst many said that the move wouldn't work, the official supporters club backed the franchise's decision.
While few fans followed the club west, the first season in Glasgow provided the franchise with a sponsorship deal with Mitsubishi and its most successful season to date, as coach Wall led the Rocks to their first ever trophy, the BBL Play-off Championship. Finishing 6th in the regular season standings, with a 22–18 record, the Rocks were outside shots at best to claim the Playoff title, but nail-biting victories against Chester Jets in the Quarter-final (94–98) and Sheffield Sharks in the Semi-final (74–76) propelled the Scots into a Final showdown with Brighton Bears at the National Indoor Arena (NIA) in Birmingham. The match was closely fought throughout, but Rocks’ Trinidadian star Shawn Myers put in an MVP performance with 26 points and hoisted the new-look club into the history books with a 76–83 victory.
Returning to the US, Wall's exit saw the arrival of former Brighton assistant Steve Swanson as the new head coach and on the back of the Play-off win, ushered in a new era for the franchise. With a 23–14 record, the Rocks finished the 2003–04 season in 4th place, the franchise's highest place finish in its short history, whilst also reaching the Semi-final of the Trophy and appearing as finalists in the inaugural BBL Cup, losing to Sheffield 70–83 in front of 6,000 people at Birmingham's NIA. The following season wasn't quite as successful during the regular season, but the team did manage to reach the Cup final again, losing out this time to coach Swanson's former team Brighton in a 90–74 defeat.
Sponsorship deals with local Honda dealer Phoenix and national newspaper the Daily Record saw the team named as the Scottish Phoenix Honda Record Rocks for the 2005–06 season and also saw the franchise reach its best ever league placing of second (29–11) and a further second place in the play-off final. Eliminating both Chester and Sheffield convincingly in the Quarter-final and Semi-final respectively, Rocks came up against their traditional arch-rivals Newcastle in the final in Birmingham, and though finishing only one victory (two points) behind the Eagles in the regular season, Rocks were brushed aside in the 83–68 loss. Following the loss, coach Swanson announced his departure, returning to US college basketball, and after three seasons at the club and a 0.614 winning average he left as the coach with the most wins record to date in Rocks' history.
The 2006–07 season saw the arrival of the British league's first ever German coach, Thorsten Leibenath. The German continued Rocks' winning ways, and took the team to another Cup final, losing out once more to Guildford 82–79, whilst a 4th-place finish and another appearance in the final of the play-off saw the seemingly annual rivalry with Eagles revived, Newcastle again triumphed in a 95–82 victory. On 30 April 2007, the Rocks announced Leibenath was leaving the club to take over head coaching duties at his previous club Giessen 46ers in Germany. Player, and BBL veteran Sterling Davis was named as his successor, assuming a player-coach role within the team. Davis' team performed amicably throughout the 2007–08 season, but a first round exit in the Trophy and a 5th-place finish in the league and a Quarter-final exit in the post-season Play-offs to eventual Runners-up Milton Keynes Lions, 105–93, meant the Rocks had failed to appear in a major Final for the first time in six years.
With the costs of Braehead Arena mounting, Rocks were finding difficulty in coming to an agreement with the venue owners over a new deal, forcing them to consider other options. Ultimately, the Rocks agreed a deal with the 1,200-capacity Kelvin Hall International Sports Arena, and although many fans considered it a downgrade, the clubs bosses were satisfied the move was helping the Rocks move forward. The move was announced on 16 July 2008, and would commence immediately, with a future plan to move into the new 6,500-capacity National Indoor Sports Arena in 2011.
The Rocks' first season at their new home would turn out to be a very turbulent one indeed. After an excellent start in the league campaign, they found themselves top of the table in January, however, a series of key injuries and a reported lack of harmony in the roster jeopardised their season. In the end, with an 18–15 record, the Rocks just managed to scrape a 7th-place finish and spot in the Play-offs, but again fell at the first hurdle, losing 84–64 to a dominating Everton Tigers side.
Glasgow Rocks
During the summer 2008, the franchise also announced a new long-term agreement with Glasgow City Council. As part of the agreement, the Scottish Rocks would be renamed as the Glasgow Rocks from the start of the 2009–10 season.
In November 2009, it was announced that four Rocks players had caught swine flu, forcing the club to postpone a game with Guildford. All of the players made a full recovery.
The team reached the final of 2009–10 Playoffs, losing 80–72 to the Everton Tigers.
Continuing delays on construction of the new National Indoor Sports Arena meant the postponement of the scheduled move and the Rocks remaining at the Kelvin Hall for the 2011–12 season.
The Rocks moved into their new home at the National Indoor Sports Arena, known as the Emirates Arena for sponsorship reasons, in October 2012. The opening game in the arena was a derby match against Newcastle Eagles in front of a record 5,500 crowd, with the Eagles winning 102–84.
After a disappointing league season, the Rocks reached the 2013–14 BBL Trophy Final, played at the Rocks' own Emirates Arena, where they lost out to the Worcester Wolves, 83–76. Captain EJ Harrison, who was plagued by injury for the second half of the season, also announced his retirement from the game.
The Rocks reached the 2014–15 BBL Cup Final, losing 84–71 to the Newcastle Eagles.
The Rocks set a club record 12-game winning streak during the early stages of the 2016–17 season, which would see the team reach the 2016–17 BBL Cup Final in Birmingham. The team lost out to rivals Newcastle, 91–83. Towards the end of the season, the club announced that the last remaining "original" shareholder of the club, Ian Reid, had sold his 50% share in the club to businessman Duncan Smillie. Following the end of the campaign, it was announced long term head coach Sterling Davis was to leave the club.
The Rocks reached the 2018–19 BBL Cup Final, losing 68–54 to the London Lions.
New ownerships and Gladiators rebrand
In August 2022, Caledonia Basketball Holdings Ltd, a company owned by Steve and Alison Timoney, purchased 100% of shares in the Glasgow Rocks basketball team. They rebranded the team as Caledonia Gladiators starting from the 2022–23 season.

Jeoss WIFI Sniffer
Many times when setting-up a server it results extremely handy being able to sniff network traffic on the server's interfaces. We will show here how to use a capture daemon able to remotely transmit the captured traffic to a GUI Wireshark. The ultimate challenge would be capturing raw unauthenticated WIFI traffic.
Then, the idea is to set up a Jeoss box able to capture WIFI traffic and retransmit it on an Ethernet connection to a remote Wireshark station.
a) On our Jeoss Box
Let's consider our Jeos box has one or two Atheros interfaces and one or more Ethernet interfaces.
Let's start with /etc/network/interfaces looking something like this:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The ethernet network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.20.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.20.255
gateway 192.168.20.1
Let's stop our Atheros WIFI card/s
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airmon-ng stop ath1
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airmon-ng stop ath0
Let's start ath0 listening in monitor mode on all channels
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wifi0
Depending on our box configuration we can get an answer like this:
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wifi0
Found 1 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want (some of) them!
PID Name
3931 dhclient3
Interface Chipset Driver
wifi0 Atheros madwifi-ng
wifi1 Atheros madwifi-ng
ath0 Atheros madwifi-ng VAP (parent: wifi0) (monitor mode enabled)
Then we kill the potentially problematic process related to ath0
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo kill 3931
Now we can inspect the whole WIFI spectrum and decide which channel we are going to analyze deeper.
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airodump-ng ath0

patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airmon-ng stop ath0
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo airmon-ng start wifi0 7
Let's start our packet capture daemon with the Jeoss box Ethernet interface (eth0) IP 192.168.20.2 as the Wireshark communication interface.
patrick@jeoss804:~$ sudo rpcapd -b 192.168.20.2 -n

Regal Tower
Regal Tower is a proposed skyscraper to be constructed on a site bounded by Broad Street, Oozells Way and Sheepcote Street in Ladywood, just outside of Central Birmingham, England. The proposal consists of a 56 storey tower, measuring 200.5 m tall, housing retail units, a luxury hotel, residential apartments and car parking. Provision has been made for 256 serviced apartments, although these could make way for additional hotel space. The tower has been designed by Aedas and was proposed by Regal Property Group, with DTZ Debenham Tie Leung acting on their behalf. If completed as originally planned, the skyscraper would be the second tallest building in the UK outside of London.
Original proposal
The site, once home to the city's progressive synagogue, has been subject of a previous planning application by Regal Property Group for a mixed-use, 10 storey block consisting of 130 apartments and restaurant. This was submitted for approval by Regal Property Group on 15 August 2002 and was registered by the city council on 19 August. It was approved in March 2007.
Announcement
Regal Property Group's plans to construct a tower on the site were first announced in October 2007, with few details of the proposal being unveiled. Initially estimated to cost GB£150 million, it was believed that the tower would be likely to surpass the height of the city's tallest approved tower, V Building. The developers said that the tower would include conference facilities for around 1,000 people to complement those at the nearby International Convention Centre, as well as ballroom facilities. It was hoped that the tower could be completed by 2011, in time for when the city hosts delegates for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
It was announced in August 2008 by Regal Property Group that they had established a dedicated hotel development division which will work on development sites including Regal Tower site, as well as working in conjunction with Hilton Hotels and InterContinental Hotels Group.
Unveiling
Further details emerged when the initial designs for the tower by Aedas were officially announced at the MIPIM show in Cannes, France, in March 2009. The proposals were also unveiled to the Cabinet at Birmingham City Council on 19 March 2009. The estimated cost of the tower was adjusted to GB£125 million, and the developers said that they expected the tower to begin construction on 2010, with completion in 2013. They also expected to submit a full planning application to the council in May 2009. Details of the scale of the tower and exact usage were not announced.
Planning application
May 2009 passed without a planning application being submitted. In June 2009, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening request to the council, who replied in August 2009 saying that they did not believe an EIA was necessary for the proposal. On 13 August 2009, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung met with the council to discuss the process of submitting the planning application and it was agreed that the developers could submit an outline planning application without full supporting information, allowing the additional documents to be submitted at a later date.
On 1 September 2009, the first part of a full planning application was submitted to Birmingham City Council. A cheque of GB£1005 was made payable to the city council to cover the statutory planning application fee. The planning application was given the reference number '2009/04215/PA' and the following description for when it was published on the city council's planning department website: "56 storey mixed use building, to include ground floor retail, 289 bed hotel and either 256 serviced apartments or additional hotel accommodation and 1,530 square metres of residential accommodation with one level of basement car parking."
A contribution of GB£250000 will be made towards public transport improvements in the area, under the Section 106 terms. A Section 278 will also be provided for all off site works with plans to be agreed upon with the Highways department of the city council.
A public consultation was held on 14 October 2009 at 11 Brindleyplace to gather public opinion on the proposal. Following the event, various news outlets noted that a planning application had been submitted, although they stated the building's height as being 200.5 m tall, a detail not originally stated in the planning application.
As per normal planning practise, a number of parties were consulted over the proposal. Amongst those asked to comment was the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), who replied by objecting to the proposal on 23 November 2009, due to worries that it would be too overbearing for Brindleyplace, that the proposal was driven more by financial concerns rather than urban design considerations, and that the design did not accommodate for the large numbers of people expected to be arriving and departing from the building.
Proposal details
As per the details published in the planning application, the proposed tower will be 56 storeys in height with one basement level of automated car parking, providing 29 spaces. The tower will reach a total height of 200.5 m, surpassing all other buildings in the city centre. The structure will consist of two elements: a four storey podium and a 51 storey tower above. The podium will provide approximately 577 m2 of retail units, fronting onto Broad Street, as well as the hotel reception area and a ballroom. Above this will be a 289 bedroom hotel, intended to be of 5 star quality, with 256 serviced apartments that can be used as additional hotel space if necessary. There will also be a double-height 'sky bar' on the 30th floor with an outdoor terrace to provide panoramic views of the city, and approximately 1530 m2 of residential penthouse apartments set within three floors at the 'Crown' of the tower.
The tower's façade will consist of a full-height glass curtain wall, with coated metal panels and louvered metal panels with projecting fins. The crown will be formed from a ring of spires.
A lighting scheme has been designed for the building by Hoare Lea. It was chosen to use a blue and white colour scheme, which would be implemented using 48 low-energy and low maintenance, surface mounted LED Paraobilic Projector 022s on the bases of the fins that will be supplemented with 200 metres of linear Linex HD LED washlights between the fins. The lighting scheme is budgeted at £146,000.
The Grade II listed Left Bank, currently used as a restaurant named 'Big Bite', will be incorporated into the scheme and renovated within two years of the first occupation of the hotel.

How Much Cardio Is Too Much? 10 Signs Your Volume Has Become Detrimental

reviewed by Katelyn Tocci
Published:
We often hear about the importance of getting enough exercise.
Numerous studies have shown a range of concerning physical and mental health consequences of a sedentary lifestyle.
Consequently, there are guidelines in place for how much aerobic exercise you should be getting every week to help reduce the risk of these lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
But, can you do too much cardio? Is too much cardio bad for you? How much is too much cardio?
In this article, we will discuss whether too much cardio is bad for you and common signs to help you determine how much cardio is too much cardio.
We will cover the following:
• Can You Do Too Much Cardio?
• How Much Cardio Is Too Much Cardio?
• Common Signs That You’re Doing Too Much Cardio
Let’s dive in!
People running outside.
Can You Do Too Much Cardio?
When most people think about healthy behaviors such as sleep, exercise, and eating enough fruits and vegetables, they only think about the minimum requirements for overall health.
However, there are often adverse consequences to getting too much of a “good thing.“
For example, in terms of sleep, adults should get 7–9 hours of sleep every night for optimal health, according to the National Sleep Foundation.
So, you might think that getting more than 9 hours of sleep is even better, but studies have found the opposite to be true: sleeping too much is associated with an increased risk of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, as well as an increased risk of all-cause mortality.
The same principle applies to exercise and cardio exercise specifically.
In other words, the short answer to: “Can you do too much cardio exercise?“ and “Is too much cardio bad for you?“ is yes—you can do too much cardio such that it will have a negative impact on your fitness goals, body composition, and potentially even your overall health.
In short, there is a limit to how much cardio exercise you should be doing, and it is certainly possible to do too much cardio based on your particular goals and physical needs.

How Much Cardio Is Too Much Cardio?
While it was easy to answer the questions can you do too much cardio exercise and is too much cardio exercise bad for you with a simple yes, it is not nearly as straightforward to answer the question: how much cardio is too much cardio?
At a minimum, adults should aim to meet the guidelines for physical activity for adults set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the British Heart Foundation.
These guidelines state that adults need to accumulate either 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardio exercise per week.
The upper limit of how much cardio exercise you should be doing varies from person to person based on numerous factors.
The recommendations for the maximum amount of cardio exercise you should be doing will depend on the interplay of these various factors in your own personal circumstances, such as:
• Your fitness level
• The type of cardio you are doing
• The intensity of your workouts
• Your stress tolerance and overall workout routine
• Your diet
• Your sleep
• The length of your cardio workouts

Common Signs That You’re Doing Too Much Cardio
Because it is difficult to make universal guidelines regarding how much cardio is too much cardio, there are certain symptoms and signs that you’re doing too much cardio.
If you notice you are experiencing any of these signs, you should cut back and consider deliberately taking several days off in order to recover and then re-establish a healthier, more moderate approach to how much cardio exercise you are doing.
Here are some of the top signs that you are overdoing cardio exercise:
#1: Chronic Muscle Soreness
Although delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which refers to tightness and muscle discomfort 24 to 72 hours after a hard workout, is normal every so often, if you are always sore or frequently sore or you never seem to get rid of your muscle soreness before it comes back after another workout, you’re probably doing too much cardio.
Frequent or constant muscle soreness is particularly indicative of excessive cardio if you are getting sore or achy, even when you are doing exercise or workouts you are accustomed to.
In other words, muscle soreness is expected if you try a new type of exercise or deliberately do a more intense workout, but if you run regularly and find that you are feeling sore most of the time after your running workout, you are probably running too often or too much and your body is not recovering well.

#2: Higher Resting Heart Rate
Tracking your resting heart rate is a great biomarker to assess whether you are overtraining and doing too much cardio.
An elevation in your typical average heart rate is a sign that you are not recovering well and your body is under stress, pointing to the fact that you are doing too much cardio exercise with insufficient recovery.
#3: Easy Workouts Feel Hard
If you are a runner and you find that your easy runs are starting to feel tiring, you are probably teetering on the edge of overtraining.
The same can be said for any form of cardio exercise.
When easy workouts feel harder than they should be, your body is not recovering enough, and you need to cut back on your cardio.
4: Joint Pain
Particularly if you are doing high-impact cardio, such as running or jumping rope, joint pain after your workout can be a sign that you are overdoing it.
Even with low-impact cardio exercise, if the activity is repetitive, such as cycling, rowing, or the elliptical machine, joint discomfort can be a sign of doing too much.

#5: Lack of Motivation
If you don’t feel like working out despite generally being in a routine that involves consistent exercise, it’s likely a sign that you are doing too much exercise and are tired from all the training.
Mental burnout and mental fatigue are signs of overreaching in your exercise routine.
Heed the sign and take a few days off and then reevaluate how much cardio exercise you are doing every week with the notion that you probably need to reduce your weekly cardio volume.
#6: Difficulty Sleeping
While getting regular aerobic exercise can be beneficial for improving the quality of your sleep, if you are exercising too much, it will impact your sleep and lead to restlessness, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and waking up in the morning not feeling very rested.
Excessive cardio exercise increases your resting heart rate, body temperature, and cortisol levels, disrupting your ability to reach deeper stages of sleep.

#7: Low Energy
As can likely be surmised, if you are feeling generally lethargic and like you are dragging yourself through your day because you lack energy, it’s a good sign that you are doing too much exercise.
Your body only has a limited amount of energy to feel vibrant during the day, and cardio workouts can eat up a lot of this energy, leaving you zapped for the rest of your day.
#8: You’re Getting Sick a Lot
Overtraining can depress your immune system, causing you to get colds and other illnesses more frequently.
#9: Your Appetite Is Increasing
Doing too much cardio will increase your cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone in the body.
Studies suggest that higher levels of cortisol may stimulate appetite and increase body fat storage, particularly in the abdominal area.
A scale at 140.
#10: You’re Gaining Weight
As just mentioned, over-exercising will increase cortisol to detrimental levels, which can increase body fat storage.
Additionally, a sign of exercising too much is a decrease in lean body mass.
The body will start to metabolize, or break down, muscle tissue, particularly if you are not fueling your body with enough calories, high-quality protein, carbohydrates after your workouts, and vitamins and minerals.
As can be seen, there are quite a number of counterproductive problems that can arise from doing too much cardio exercise.
The risk of injuries, chronic overtraining, habitual soreness and stiffness, illnesses, muscle loss, fat gain, chronic low energy, and poor sleep are among some of the many consequences associated with doing too much cardio exercise with too little recovery.
Keeping a workout log and monitoring your resting heart rate, energy levels, muscle soreness, and body weight can be helpful in assessing if you’re doing too much cardio exercise and determining how much is too much cardio for you.

-- Brazil Analysts Cut 2013 Year-End Selic Call for Third Week
Analysts covering Brazil lowered
their forecast for the benchmark rate at year-end 2013 for the
third straight week, as the economy struggles to gain speed in
response to government stimulus measures. Brazil’s Selic rate will be 7.25 percent at the end of next
year, according to the median estimate in a central bank survey
of about 100 analysts published today. Analysts had forecast a
2013 Selic of 7.63 percent the previous week. This week marks
the first time economists have predicted the central bank will
hold the rate steady for all of next year. President Dilma Rousseff’s administration has broadened
measures aimed at helping consumers and companies in the world’s
second-largest market. Since August 2011, the central bank has
reduced the Selic rate more than any other G-20 nation to a
record low 7.25 percent. Policy makers have also increased
public spending, implemented tax cuts worth 45 billion reais
($22 billion) and pressured banks to lower lending rates to spur
consumer demand. Economists in the survey maintained their forecast for
gross domestic product growth this year and next at 1.54 percent
and 4 percent, respectively. Industrial Output Some sectors of the economy have been slow to respond to
the stimulus measures. Brazil ’s industrial production in
September fell for the first time in 4 months, as companies
reduced machine and equipment investments. Consumer default
rates in September remained at the highest level since November
2009 despite near record-low rates on bank loans. Still, vehicle sales jumped 18.6% in October over the month
prior, as consumers took advantage of tax reductions, car
dealership association Anfavea said last week. President
Rousseff’s economic team forecasts that the economy expanded the
fastest in more than two years in the third quarter, at a 5
percent to 6 percent annualized pace, a government official said
on Oct. 23. Inflation rose in October at the fastest yearly pace since
February on food supply shocks. Keeping the benchmark Selic rate
unchanged for a “prolonged time” is the best strategy to
ensure inflation will slow to target next year, central bank
President Alexandre Tombini said in an interview on Nov. 7. The
bank targets inflation of 4.5 percent, plus or minus two
percentage points. Economists in the survey predicted inflation
of 5.46 percent this year, up from the previous week’s estimate
of 5.44 percent. “Our projections are still valid: the convergence of
inflation to the mid-point of the target in the third quarter of
next year with this monetary policy strategy,” Tombini said. To contact the reporter on this story:

Rh to say a few words. Andrew W. Young is mentioned in the "Recollections of the Press," of another County. In addition to what is there stated, I will simply remark, that he is now engaged in the State of Ohio, in publishing a work similar to the one put forth in this State, on the "Science of Government"—and with every prospect of complete success.
has left the Editorial Chair entirely, and is now devoting himself to the active business duties of life—a Merchant, Miller, &c. At one time he was a Member of the Legislature from this County. His political course has been rather erratic, and it is a favorite remark of his, "that upon a Presidential Election, he is never in the minority." Whether this implies change, on the part of David, or the parties of the day, is left for others to decide. I mention the fact, simply to show the peculiar character of the man. He possesses considerable force of mind, and withal, many good qualities.
[J. A.. This gentleman, as will be seen in the preceding pages, has had much to do with the Newspaper Press in Western New-York. He has taken an active part in two Festivals held in Rochester, and, it will be observed is a member of the Committee for the publication of these proceedings. It is with regret, however, that we learn he is about to leave the city, and the superintendence of the Democrat office—a situation which he has occupied for the last eight years, doubtless, to the entire satisfaction of the employers and employed of that establishment—and contemplates soon to remove to Watertown, Jefferson County, Wiskonsan. He designs publishing a paper in that town on his arrival there, to be entitled the "Watertown Chronicle." Mr. H. is one of the tallest specimens of the Craft, being six feet four inches in stature, which is only two inches less than that of his fellow-craftsman. Long John Wentworth, of Illinois. He is a clever soul, and every inch a gentleman, and we most cordially wish him in his projected enterprise, that success and prosperity to which he is so justly entitled.—''Eds. American''.]

was formerly an apprentice in the office of the writer of these pages—and without meaning or intending any disparagement to others who may have occupied a similar position, I trust I may be permitted to bear testimony to the great fidelity with which he discharged his obligations while thus situated. Since that time his course has not been so familiar to me. In a business point of view, I wish him the most unbounded success.
Of some of those engaged in the Press in this County, I know nothing of their personal history—while others have been noticed elsewhere.
GENESEE COUNTY.
The Newspaper Press in this County, in its struggling infancy, has had the same difficulties to contend with, that have beset the attempt in other Western Counties. The following history of its rise, progress, and present condition, is supposed to be correct, or nearly so, in almost every particular, athough to gather these facts together has been the result of considerable labor.
The first paper printed in the County of Genesee was established at Batavia, then, as now, the County Seat, in the spring of 1807. At the date, or near it, indicated below, I addressed a letter to, Esq., asking information in relation to the early history of the Press in this County. I received the following letter from him, and I cannot do better justice to the subject than by copying the letter entire. It is as follows:—
, Nov. 25, 1846.
":—I this morning received your note asking information of the 'rise and progress of the Art of Printing' in this County. I regret that I am not able to give you a more minute account. Not having preserved a file of my old papers, I have to depend merely upon memory. The first paper established in this County was in the spring of 1807. Elias Williams purchased in Manlius, an old Ramage Printing Press that had been laid aside as useless, and a Box of Old Type in pi, intended to sell for Type metal, and brought them, in the winter of that year, to Batavia. After a laborious winter's work of assorting his old Type, and patching up the old Press, he published the first number of a paper called the 'Genesee Intelligencer.' This paper was printed upon a half sheet of Medium size, with a subscription list of 100, and two or three columns of advertisements from the Holland Land Company, one Elopement, and one Runaway Apprentice Boy, for whose apprehension a Bag of Bran was offered as a reward. This was all the advertising patronage, if my recollection serves me right, that the paper commenced with. The paper was a sorry looking thing—the mechanical execution being so bad that it would have puzzled a Philadelphia Lawyer to find out what it was. I ought to have preserved a copy—it would be looked upon by the craft at this day, not only as a literary but a mechanical curiosity. Williams becoming disheartened at the shabby appearance of his paper, and about to fail for the want of funds, induced me to go into partnership with him. Anxious to see my name at the head of a newspaper, as Printer, Publisher, and Editor, too, of the 'Genesee Intelligencer,' I embarked my all of this world's effects in the enterprise, which amounted to the vast sum of forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents, the hard earnings of the summer before, as Pack Horseman and Cook to a company of Surveyors on the Holland Purchase—a pursuit better fitted

2. Dom (Old Northern domr, a thing, or position of importance) indicates a power, as Kongedom or Kongedömme, 'kingdom,' Fyrstendömme (Fyrst, 'a prince'), 'principality.'
3. Else sometimes indicates a property, as Tykkelse, 'thickness;' but more frequently an action, as Anvendelse, 'application.' A similar idea is conveyed by the termination ning, as Skrivning, 'writing.' These two terminations serve to form nouns from the corresponding verbs, and thus constitute an important characteristic of Dano-Norwegian, distinguishing it from Swedish, in which the participles, and not the root of the verb, serve as the basis of words.

Matter of Opening First Street, in Grand Rapids. [Grand Rapids v. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company.]
[See 58 Mich. 641.]
Municipal corporations — Condemnation proceedings for opening street — Oath to jury — Compensation to railroad company— Contract restricting right of eminent domain.
1. In a street-opening case under Act No. 124, Laws of 1883, it is the duty of the court to instruct the jury as to their duties and the law of the case, and the oath provided for by section 7, requiring them “ to faithfully and impartially discharge all such other duties as devolve upon them in the case,” sufficiently includes a determination by them of the necessity of malting the proposed improvement.
2. On the former trial of this case witnesses were allowed, against objection, in answer to the question “ what amount of compensation ought to be paid to the appellant,” to fix the same at a given sum, and the jury were instructed that in fixing such compensation they must be governed by the evidence, and not by their own arbitrary opinions, as to what should be awarded. In setting aside the verdict the Court held such testimony clearly incompetent, the amount of such compensation being the very thing which the Constitution refers to the jury, who must mate up their own conclusions from proper data. [See 58 Mich. 643, 647.] On the second trial the same witnesses were asked for their judgment as to the value of the land taken, and the damage to the remainder by such taking, and in the case of the appellant such last damage was confined to the estimated expense of fixing up the approaches to the railroad, and putting the street or crossing in good condition; and the Court held that the appellant’s case was not prejudiced by such answers.
3. The laying out and opening of streets by the common council of a city is the exercise of its legislative functions, and any contract made by the city with an individual or corporation, by which it agrees that it will not in the future open or extend a street in any particular place or part of the city, is an abnegation of its legislative powers, unauthorized by its charter, and may be alike destructive of the convenience and prosperity of the municipality, and is void.
4. The property of a corporation like that of a railroad company, like other property, is held subject to the necessities of the public, and together with its franchise, when inseparable, may be taken for public use whenever the necessities of the public require it, compensation being made therefor.
5. All contracts are subject to the power of eminent domain, wherever the public necessity requires its exercise, and must be regarded as made with reference thereto.
6. The compensation to be ma^e to a railroad company for crossing its right of way for street purposes not only includes the use of the land occupied by the street for such crossing, but any extra expense created by the use of the right of way for the street, in the ordinary use of the company’s road, and such other damage as it may sustain for injury to its track, right of way, and franchise. occasioned by the crossing, and which may be properly considered as the natural, necessary, and approximate cause thereof. This rule will not include expenses made necessary in order to comply with the police regulations of the State or municipality, but such damages only as arise in making the structural changes necessary to comply with statutory regulations, and which must necessarily continue in the future operation of the defendant’s road.
Appeal from superior court of Grand Rapids. (Parrish, J.)
Argued February 10, 1887.
Decided May 5, 1887.
Appeal from order confirming a verdict in a street-opening case.
Yerdict set aside, and case remanded for a new trial.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
T. J. O’Brien and J. H. Campbell, for appellant.
J. W. Ransom, for petitioner.
Shubwood, J.
The petition in this case was filed in behalf of the city on the tenth day of November, 1884, in the superior court of Grand Rapids. It sets forth certain resolutions which had been adopted by the common council, stating that it was made and filed for the purpose of commencing proceedings under Act 124, Laws of 1883, to take and condemn private property for the purpose of opening First street, in said city; that the property proposed to be taken is on 16 different lots, giving the descriptions thereof:
“Sixth parcel. Part of lot 4, section 24, town 7 north, range 12 west, described as follows: Commencing at the intersection of the west line of lot 4 of said section 24 with the north line of First street produced westerly; thence east, on said line of First street produced, 33 feet; thence south, parallel with the west line of said lot 4, 66 feet, to the south line of First street produced; thence west 33 feet; thence north 66 feet to the place of beginning, — containing 2,178 square feet, more of less.”
The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company is the owner of this parcel. The petition stated the names of the other owners as respondents, and the other usual statements in such cases, and prayed that a jury might be summoned to determine the necessity for taking the property for the use or benefit of the public, which the petition described, and the just compensation to be made therefor.
The case was before this Court at the January termj 1886, on appeal from an order confirming the verdict upon the first trial. The verdict was set aside, and the case sunt back for a new trial. See 58 Mich. ,641. Upon the new trial, a verdict was again obtained for the city, and confirmed by the court, and the defendant company appeals to this Court. The constitutional questions were substantially disposed of in the decision rendered in the former case.
Four points are now urged by counsel for the defendant against the order made by the judge of the superior court confirming the verdict of the jury.
It is claimed, first, that the oath administered to the jury was not such as is required by the statute. The oath is given in form and substance, and will be found in Act No. 124, Laws of 1883. § 7, reading as follows:
“You do solemnly swear or affirm that you will well and truly ascertain and determine whether there is necessity for taking, for the use or benefit of the public, the private property which the petition describes and prays may be taken; and, if you shall detemine that it is necessary to take said property, that then you ascertain, determine, and award the just compensation to be made therefor, and faithfully and impartially discharge all such other duties as devolve upon you in this ease, and, unless discharged by the court, a true verdict give, according to law and the evidence, so help you God, or under the pains and penalties of perjury.”
The following was the oath administered:
“Each and all of you do solemnly swear that you will well and truly ascertain and determine whether there is a necessity for taking, for the use or benefit of the public, the private property which the petition describes and prays may be taken; and, if you shall determine that it is necessary to take said property, that then you will ascertain, determine, and award the just compensation to be made therefor, and faithfully and impartially discharge all such other duties as devolve upon you in the case, and, unless discharged by the court, a true verdict give, according to law and the evidence, so help you God.”
In these cases under this statute, it is the duty of the court to instruct the jury as to their duties and the law of the case, and their oath requires the jury to faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties enjoined upon them. This I think sufficiently includes the necessity for the improvement; and the verdict finds that there is a public necessity for the improvement. The charge clearly shows that the judge of the superior court not only understood the requirements of the law and Constitution upon the subject, but fully instructed the jury upon the same. In the first paragraph of his charge' he says to them:
'•‘There are three principal questions for you to determine:
“1. The public necessity for opening, widening, and extending the street.
“2. The necessity for taking the property described in the petition for the proposed improvement.
“3. Just compensation to be paid for such private property.”
Certainly the defendant had the benefit in the rulings of the court and action of the jury to the extent its counsel claims the Constitution gives it. I do not think Powers’ Appeal, 29 Mich. 504, nor Bowler v. Perrin, 47 Id. 155, apply to this case in the manner urged by counsel for defendant. I agree with Chief Justice CAMPBELL in his conclusion, when the case was presented before, that,—
“When we take the whole statute together, it evidently means such a finding as the Constitution warrants.”
The second point relied upon by the defense is that witnesses for the city were permitted—
“To state the amount of the damage to the appellant by reason of the opening of the street.”
The testimony of these same witnesses upon the compensation to be made to the defendant on account of opening the street was objected to by counsel for appellant, and its admission was one of the points made for reversal, in this case before, and the exception was sustained. The questions then propounded to the witnesses were very similar to those in the present case, and, were it not for the explanation given in the answers made by the witnesses in the present case, would fall under the same condemnation, but, with the explanations given and facts stated by them, I do not think the appellant’s case was prejudiced by the answers made.
The defendant’s third point relates to the rulings and instructions of the court as to the effect of the contract claimed to exist between the city and the railroad company, wherein the circuit judge held the same to be invalid.
First street extended west, as desired in the petition, across the defendant’s right of way, intersects Seward street, which runs north and south. The contract relied upon by defendant consists of certain action taken by the common council at the instance of citizens owning property abutting on Seward street, and which is stated in the record as follows:
“We, the undersigned, being respectively the owners of premises and lots located at some point along the west side of and adjoining Seward street, in the city of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, between Bridge street and the northern terminus of said Seward street, do hereby consent that the common council of the city of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent, aforesaid, may vacate and abolish the east half of said Seward street, from Bridge street aforesaid to its northern terminus; or, if they shall deem it best, may authorize and allow the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company to occupy the said east half of ■said street for railroad purposes.
“And we, and each of us, do hereby authorize and request the common council aforesaid to take such immediate action a3 may be legal and necessary for the purpose of so vacating the same, or authorizing and allowing the same to be used for railroad purposes.
“And we, and each of us, do hereby waive any and all notice of such proceeding, and all compensation in damages which may arise from vacating said street, or using the same for railroad purposes ; it being understood by us, and each of us, that the object of vacating said street is for the purpose of giving to and providing for the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company the right to use the land occupied by the east half of said, street for railroad purposes.
“And this consent and release is made upon the consideration and understanding that the said railroad company shall, ■on or before the first day of January next, erect and thereafter maintain a passenger station on the north side of Bridge street, and at some point on the line of said railroad, between said Bridge street and Second street- in said city; and that ■said railroad company shall, from and after the time when authority shall be given them to use the east half of said street for railroad purposes, or from and after the time that such east half of said street shall be vacated, maintain a pas-' •senger station at the place aforesaid.
“Dated Grand Rapids, July 10, 1873,”
“Common council regular session, July 26, 1873. Present,. Aid. Baldwin, Bryan, Dishman, French, Grady, Kendall, Leitelt, Milmine, Powers, Quimby, Smith, Steketee, Verdier, Woodcock, and Weirich.
“Resolutions and Motions. By Alderman Milmine: Resolved, that the city attorney be, and is hereby, instructed to suspend all proceedings in the matter of the vacation of Seward street by the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad, and that a committee of four be appointed by the mayor to negotiate with the officers of said railroad as to terms relative to a depot building, and other matters pertaining to said vacation. Adopted. Committee: Aldermen Milmine, Powers, Dish-man, and Weirich.”
“August 2, 1873. * * * Alderman Milmine, from the committee appointed to confer with the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company relative to the occupancy of a portion of Seward street by said company, reported that they had had a conference with the officers of said company, and reported and recommended the adoption of the following preambles and resolutions:
“Whereas, a committee has been appointed to negotiate with the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company for the purpose of settling the terms and conditions upon which said corporation should be permitted to use the east half of Seward street, in the city of Grand Rapids, from Bridge street to-the northern termination of said Sewaid strec-t, for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, and operating a railroad thereon; and whereas, said committee have reported that they have held an interview with the representatives of said corporation, and that said corporation is willing to maintain a passenger station on the north side of Bridge street, in said city, and at some point between Bridge street and First street, and upon the understanding that said First street shall not be continued across the line of said railroad.
“It is therefore hereby resolved that the said Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company be, and is hereby, authorized, permitted, and empowered to use and occupy the east half of Seward street, from Bridge street 105 feet north of Third street, for the purpose of constructing, operating, and maintaining its railroad thereon upon the terms and conditions that said corporation, from and after the passage of this, resolution, shall construct and maintain a passenger station on the line of its road between Bridge and First street, aforesaid, for all local and accommodation trains on said road.
“And be it further resolved, that the said Grand Eapids & Indiana Railroad Company be, and is hereby, permitted, empowered, and authorized to maintain its railroad tracks across said Bridge street, in said city, as they are now laid and constructed, upon the terms and condition that the planking upon said crossing shall be kept in good state of repair, so as to inflict as little inconvenience upon persons traveling upon said street as may be. Provided, however, that the city of Grand Eapids shall have the right to construct a sewer across the property of the said railroad company at First street.
“On motion, the'preambles and resolutions were adopted by the following vote: Yeas, Aldermen Bryan, Dishman, French, Grady, Kendall, Leitelt, Little, Milmine, Powers, Quimby, Smith, Steketeo, Yerdier, Woodcock, and Weirich, 15. Noes, 0.”
At the close of the trial, counsel for defendant asked the court to give the following instructions to the jury upon this subject:
“ 1. The facts which appear in evidence in this case, and are undisputed by evidence, viz., the action of the common council of the city in the appointment of a committee to confer with the officers of the railroad company, the proposition made by the railroad company through the solicitor, relative to the establishment of a depot on the West side, and the report, preamble, and resolution submitted by the committee of the common council to the common council, and adopted by that body, and the erection of the depot by the company, and its use of a street, constitute a contract complete in its terms, between the city of Grand Eapids on the one part, and the Grand Eapids & Indiana Eailroad Company on the other part.
“2. By the terms of such agreement, the railroad company agreed to construct and maintain a passenger house on the line of its road between Bridge and First streets, for all local and accommodation trains upon said road, and in consideration thereof it was agreed upon the part of the city:
“a —That the company should have the right to use and occupy the east half of Seward street, from Bridge street to a point 185 feet north of Third street, for t.ie purpose of constructing, operating, and maintaining its railroad thereon.
“b — That First street should not be continued across the line of said railroad.
“ 3. It appears by the evidence in the case that the company has complied with the agreement on its part.
“ 4. It also appears that the railroad company has, at large expense, constructed and maintained a passenger depot at the place named, since the adoption of the resolution oy the council, upon the faith of the agreements made on the part of the city, which I have stated.
“5. It also appears that both parties have acquiesced in the agreement and acted tinder it for nearly thirteen years.
“ 6. I instruct you that the agreement is binding upon both parties, and that it is a bar to the opening of First street from the center line of Seward street east to Alabama street.”
Counsel for respondent thereupon presented and read the following further requests, and the same were taken under consideration by the court:
“The court having refused to give the foregoing six requests, the said respondent requests the court to instruct the jury:
“7. The agreement which I have stated is valid and binding upon the parties, at the least so far as the agreement to build the depot on the one part, and the right to use and occupy Seward street, are concerned.
“8. So far as the use of Seward street is concerned, for the purpose named, the agreement vested the railroad company with valuable .rights.
“9. So far as the agreement provides that First street shall not be continued across the line of the said railroad is concerned, it vests the railroad company with valuable rights.
“ 10. Although (under the ruling of this court) the agreement cannot operate as a bar to the opening of the street, and the appropriation of the land, if the public necessity requires it, just compensation must be made to the railroad company for its interest in the property taken, and for the damages it will sustain, by reason of the opening of the street, and by the depreciation thereby of any rights and any additional expense which will thereby be imposed upon the company.
“11. The compensation which the railroad company is entitled to receive is—
“a — The value of the land described in the petition, whatever you determine it to be.
“b — For the interference with use of the premises in connection with its passenger depot, and resulting inconvenience and use of the street at tnis point, whatever you may find it to be.
“ c — The cost of building a crossing, which appears to be $21.13.
“ d — The cost of gates at the crossing, $300.
“ e — The cost of a tower for gate-keeper, $700.
“/ — For expense of wages of flag-man to attend the crossing, and fuel and lights,-.
“ The undisputed evidence shows that these expenses will, at the lowest figure, be for a flag-man, $40 per month, and fuel, etc., $15 per month, — in all, $55 per month. The company is entitled to an award, as compensation, of such an amount as will, at the legal rate of interest, produce this amount of $55 per month, which is $9,400.
“12. TJnder the laws of this State, and the charter and ordinances of this city, and the action which has been taken by the common council, the opening of the street in question will impose upon the railroad company the duty and expense of constructing and maintaining a proper crossing across its track upon the highway, and of keeping a flag-man at the crossing. The expense of said crossing, and wages of flagman, and fuel and light, are elements of the compensation to which the railroad company is entitled, and you must award the company such compensation as will indemnify it for these expenses.”
None of these requests were given in the language requested. The court, however, gave a charge, upon his own motion, covering all the legal questions necessarily raised in the case. Upon the point now under discussion, the court said in the charge:
“The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad Company claims that it made a contract with the city, or the common council of the city, by which it was agreed, upon a consideration, that the street should not be opened across its tracks. This court holds that such a contract, if made, is not now binding upon the city, so far as this case is concerned. The right of eminent domain, which is the right to take private property for public use, as the necessities of the public demand it in a ■growing country, is inherent in all governments. It is a right .that cannot be bartered away. Neither a legislature of a state or common council of a city, nor one generation, can barter away the right of eminent domain so as to bind its successor, whether in this country or any other country. The exercise of this right is regarded as essential to the progress of the country, and the advancement of civilization. A public improvement not thought of to-day may be a public necessity to-morrow. The city of Grand Eapids to-day is not the city of Grand Eapids fifteen years ago. And therefore I say to you that the Grand Eapids & Indiana Eailroad Company is entitled tono compensation by reason of such contract, if it was ever made.
“Whoever owns property in Grand Eapids holds it subject to the right of eminent domain, whether it is a railroad company or an individual, and when the government seeks to take it for the public use, and on account of a public necessity, all stand upon the' same basis, subject to the same right and compensation. The railroad company claims that it will be put to expense in adjusting its track to the proposed changed condition. So will every man on the line be put to expense to adjust his property to the new condition. The railroad company is entitled to no more consideration in this respect than any individual whose rights are thus invaded ; no more, no less. Each is entitled to a just compensation at your hands for the property taken and the damages sustained.
You may dismiss from your minds, as far as practical, the special claim of the railroad company for the prospective expense for building and maintaining gates, towers, and flag-men. These are expenses that may or may not be incurred, and you may award to the company just compensation for property taken, if any, for franchises invaded, and for damages sustained. Your own examination of the premises, and the evidence adduced in the case by the respective parties in interest, afford you the basis and data for your investigation.”
The requests to charge were all based upon the validity of the contract of defendant with the city. We think the judge of the superior court took the correct view of this subject in the foregoing extract from the charge upon the point under consideration. The laying out and opening streets by the common council of a -city is the exercise of its legislative functions, and any contract made by the city with an individual or corporation, by which it agrees that it will not in the future open or extend a street in any particular place or part of the city, is an abnegation of its legislative powers, unauthorized by its charter, and may be m "> of the convenience and prosperity of the munioq. claimed contract in this case is of this character, ana , and furnishes no basis for any liability of any kind on the part of the city to the defendant in this case.

The powers of a municipal corporation in respect to opening, improving, and controlling its streets are held in trust for the public benefit, and cannot be surrendered by contract to private persons, or to a corporation, by resolution of the •common council, or in any other manner. If this could be done, there is no reason why the common council of any year may not, by contract, preclude the city for all future time from opening, widening, or extending any of its streets, or laying new streets, no matter how great the public necessity may be therefor. Dill. Mun. Corp. § 567; Davis v. Mayor, 14 N. Y. 506, 532; People’s R. R. v. Memphis R. R., 10 Wall. 38.
The property of a corporation like that of a railroad company, like all other property, is held subject to the necessities of the public. ’ Not only the property, but its franchise, when inseparable, may be taken for public use whenever the necessities of the public require it, compensation being made therefor. West River Bridge Co. v. Dix, 6 How. 507; Crosby v. Hanover, 36 N. H. 404; Richmond, etc., R. R. Co. v. Louisa R. R. Co., 13 How. 71; Charles R. Bridge v. Warren Bridge, 11 Pet. 420.
Any of its property not actually in use, or absolutely necessary for the enjoyment of the franchise, is subject to condemnation for other purposes, the same as the property of an individual. Enfield Toll Bridge Co. v. Hartford, etc., R. R. Co., 17 Conn. 40; Backus v. Lebanon, 11 N. H. 19; Peoria, etc., R. R. Co. v. Peoria, etc., R. R. Co., 66 Ill. 174; Iron R. R. Co. v. Ironton, 19 Ohio St. 299.
All contracts are subject to the power of eminent domain, wherever the public necessity requires its exercise, and must be regarded as made with refereuce thereto.
Thus far we have regarded the contract claimed by the defendant as existing between the company and the city as containing a provision preventing the city from extending First street across the defendant’s right of way, but it is not, in our view, certain that the common council ever intended to make such a contract, or that its action taken will bear, that construction. It is quite plain, we think, that the acceptance of the company’s proposition was not in the terms expressed in the action taken by the council. It is not, however, of importance to determine that question now. If the construction given to the proceedings by defendant’s counsel is correct, the contract would be of no effect in this, case. The third point made by counsel for defendant cannot, therefore, be sustained.
The defendant’s fourth point relates to the damages to which the company is entitled if the contract shall not be found to be a bar to the proceedings, and it is insisted that the defendant’s requests from the seventh to and including the twelfth should have-been given, and it is further claimed that that portion of the charge above quoted relating to damages (it being all that was given upon that subject) was insufficient to'give the jury proper information as to what elements should be considered by them upon that question. We are inclined to think that this point made by defendant’s counsel must be sustained. We think it quite clearly appears that the damages awarded in this case were only for the use of the land occupied by the street in crossing the defendant’s right of way; but added to that should be any extra expense created by the use of the right of way for the street, in the ordinary use of the defendant’s1 road, and such other damage as it may sustain for injury to its track, right of way, and franchise, occasioned by the crossing, and which may be properly considered as the natural, necessary, and approximate cause thereof. Toledo, etc., Ry. Co. v. Detroit, L. & N. R. R. Co., 62 Mich. 564; Grand Rapids v. Grand Rapids & I. R. R. Co., 58 Id. 641; People v. Lake Shore & M. S. Ry. Co., 52 Id. 277; Massachusetts Cent. R. R. Co. v. Boston, C. & F. R. R. Co., 121 Mass. 124; Com. v. Boston & M. R. R. 3 Cush. 25; Flint & P. M. R. R. Co. v. Detroit & B. C. R. R. Co., 64 Mich. 350.
The rule here stated will not include expenses made necessary in order to comply with the police regulations of the State or municipality, but such damages only as arise in making the structural changes necessary to comply with statutory regulations, and which must necessarily continue in the future operation of the defendant’s roal. We are now speaking of highway crossings. When one railroad crosses another, other elements of damage may exist, and be properly taken into consideration under the particular circumstances of the case. In this case counsel for -defendant requested the court substantially to instruct the jury that the structural changes necessary to be made in consequence of the crossing might be considered by the jury, and, while we think the requests as presented were properly refused, the court failed to give the jury any instruction upon the subject which would be likely to be regarded by the jury as including the expenses for such changes. And, without any request on the part of defendant’s counsel, we think it was the duty of the court to give such instruction. For this error we think the verdict of the jury must be set aside, and the case will be sent back for a new trial.
Ohamplin and Morse, JJ., concurred.
Campbell, C. J.
I concur in setting aside these proceed-
ings] but I think, also, that there are further difficulties in the way than my Brother Sherwood has recognized.
So far as damages are concerned, the Constitution requires that property shall not be taken without complete indemnity. This can only be given by putting the person or company whose land is given in such a position that he or they will be no worse off pecuniarily than if the land had not been taken ] and I do not think it can make any difference whether the loss to be compensated consists in one sort of burden or ' another. A pecuniary burden is no less and no greater because it is imposed by the public, or in any other way. It is the diminution of value, however it may be caused, which must be made good.
I cannot see that there is anything illegal or improper in the agreement of the city to take no steps to open First street across the company’s depot grounds. If this had been an agreement between two private persons, no one could doubt its validity. Any one in this State may plat his lands, and put streets on them, wherever he pleases, and, if the public accept the plat, they become public ways. But if a landowner should, for any reason satisfactory to himself, agree not to put streets here or there, such a contract would not be contrary to public policy. There is, of course, a difference between public and private dedications, but it is not one of so much importance as it is sometimes assumed.
I do not think that there is any particular sacredness in streets and ways which makes dealings with them the highest act of sovereignty, or any exercise of sovereignty at all out of the common order of things. It needs no argument 10 show that no government can abdicate any one of its public powers. One is no more important than another. But it is no abdication of sovereignty to make a particular contract which restrains the government from exercising powers that it otherwise might have exercised. The State of Michigan cannot relinquish its sovereignty over the whole State, or any considerable part of it. But the present Legislature has ceded jurisdiction over a tract in the city of Detroit to the United States government for the purpose of enabling it to do on its own premises what it could just as well do on leased premises, and where it is a matter of pure convenience, and not of necessity. The taxing power is infinitely more important than that of opening streets, or any kind of ways, which may be opened by private persons j ust as well as by the public. But there are in every state exemptions from taxation which every one considers proper and necessary, and there are probably in every state more or less cases where, for considerations satisfactory to the government, such exemptions have been fixed by contract, and such contracts cannot be repudiated.
In this State the opening of streets can hardly be considered sovereign or even legislative business. If it were a matter of such solemnity as is claimed, the designation of a highway would seem to be a very important act of State. But in Michigan the Legislature itself cannot open a highway over private property, or make its declaration of necessity effective. Any jury summoned to act in the matter may overthrow the legislative opinion of necessity. A highway commissioner is the only authority in this State which can determine such matters without the aid of any one else. In street-opening cases, the city is a mere petitioner to a - court, and the jury may or may not grant its petition. In this respect it occupies no higher or other position than a private railroad corporation that makes a similar petition on exactly the same grounds, namely, that the public exigencies require the road to be laid out across private property. Either of them may lay out streets or railways across any land which they can procure leave to cross, if they choose to do so. I can see no legal or other reason why, with full power to-determine where the streets shall be laid out, or shall not be laid out, any corporation may not agree to do what it has full power to do without agreement. It must be remembered that any agreement which will tie the hands of a municipality because of a supposed abdication of sovereignty must apply just as well to the Legislature. Our laws are full of statutes forbidding the opening of roads through lands set out for particular purposes by private action. Cemeteries, orchards, mill-dams, and other tenements cannot be destroyed by this supposed public necessity, under our present laws, where no one doubts cities and highway commissioners have all the authority that public good requires. The Legislature itself is forbidden by the Constitution to interfere with certain private plats. In some, at least, of our cities, the parks and public grounds are exempted from the power of the city to-open rotds through them. These prohibitions have been recognized as valid. Board of Education v. City of Detroit, 30 Mich. 505. On the other hand, it is competent both for the Legislature and for cities, after the public necessity has been declared in the legal way, to vacate streets, no matter how they have been opened, whenever they see fit.
It can never be a matter of necessity to have a city or other street opened one or two hundred feet from a given point. Private property may, no doubt, -be enhanced in value by having streets directly continuous. But a deviation which may be had at the pleasure of the council cannot be so-vitally dangerous that they cannot agree to make it when they can make it without agreement, if they choose to do so. The building in which we sit interrupts the course of two important streets in Lansing, but no one supposes it necessary that Lansing should be able to destroy the State Capitol by opening them. A city may have opportunities, and it may be greatly for its interest, to procure a public park, which no one would give unless on the assurance that it would be preserved. It has never been supposed that a city violated its public duty by agreeing to preserve such a park, although it may prevent a dozen streets from being continued.
It has been held repeatedly by the United States Supreme Court that a legislature may preclude itself, and all its people, from constructing bridges and similar easements within a certain space, in consideration of some desirable public convenience which would compensate for the exclusion. These exclusive privileges have not always been wisely granted, but they have nevertheless been sustained, on the ground that it is proper for public as well as private purposes to buy one advantage by the surrender of another.
It seems to me there is no reason why an agreement not to run First street through this property should not be enforced.
The objection was that the oath administered did not set forth to its full extent the duty which the jury had to perform, in that it did not specify the determination by them of the necessity of making the proposed improvement as a whole, as well as taking the particular parcels for such improvement.
The witnesses gave their judgment as to the value of the land taken, and the damage resulting, if any, to the part not taken, as regarded the several parcels, and, in the case of the railroad company, the value of the land taken, and the damage consequent thereon, namely, fixing up the approaches, and putting the street or crossing in good condition.

being an outsider, he does not find it a problem at all.
To most people, however, there is a fascinating inconsistency in the position of St. Francis. He expressed in loftier and bolder language than any earthly thinker the conception that laughter is as divine as tears. He caned his monks the mountebanks of God. He never forgot to take pleasure in a bird as it flashed past him, or a drop of water, as it fell from his finger: he was, perhaps, the happiest of the sons of men. Yet this man undoubtedly founded his whole polity on the negation of what we think the most imperious necessities; in his three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, he denied to himself and those he loved most, property, love, and liberty. Why was it that the most large-hearted and poetic spirits in that age found their most congenial atmosphere in these awful renunciations? Why did he who loved where all men were blind, seek to blind himself where all men loved? Why was he a monk, and not a troubadour? These questions are far too large to be answered fully

How-To Geek
HTG Explains: What Is Two-Factor Authentication and Should I Be Using It?
2012-06-19_124752
More and more banks, credit card companies, and even social media networks and gaming sites are starting to use two-factor authentication. If you’re a little unclear on what it is or on why you’d want to start using it, read on to learn how two-factor authentication can keep your data secure.
What Is Exactly Is Two-Factor Authentication?
How-To Geek reader Jordan writes in with a straight forward question:
I’m hearing more and more about two-factor authentication. I vaguely remember Google making a big deal about it last year, my bank recently offered a free key-ring thing for valued customers, and my roommate even has some sort of app on his phone to keep his Diablo III account from getting hacked. I get that it’s some sort of security tool but what exactly is it and should I be using it?
In order to understand what two-factor authentication is, let’s first take a look at what one-factor authentication is and compare it to both real and virtual models of security.
When you come home from work, pull out your keys, and unlock your back door, you’re engaging in simple one-factor authentication. The door and the lock assembly don’t care if the person holding they key is you, your neighbor, or a criminal that lifted your keys. The only thing the lock cares about is that the key fits (you don’t need two keys, a key and a fingerprint, or any other combination of checks). The physical key is the single confirmation that the person wielding it is allowed open the door.
The same level of one-factor authentication occurs when you login to a web site or service that simply requires your login and password. You plug that information in and it exists as the only check that you are, in fact, you.
Assuming nobody ever steals your keys or cracks/steals your password, you’re in good shape. While your keys being stolen is a fairly low risk, virtual security is more complex (and unlike online security breaches. your apartment complex manager, for example, would never accidentally copy all the keys and leave them with your name and address on a street corner).
Security breaches, sophisticated attacks, and other unfortunate but all too real aspects of working and playing in a virtual space necessitate improved security practices including multiple and diverse complex passwords and, when available, two-factor authentication.
What is two-factor authentication and what does it look like for you, the end user? At minimum two-factor authentication requires two out of three regulatory-approved authentication variables such as:
• Something you know (like the PIN on your bank card or email password).
• Something you have (the physical bank card or a authenticator token).
• Something you are (biometrics like your finger print or iris pattern).
If you’ve ever used a debit card, you’ve used a simple form of two-factor authentication: it’s not enough to know the PIN or to physically have the card, you need to possess both in order to access your bank account via the ATM machine.
Two-factor authentication can take on a variety of forms and still meet the 2-of-3 requirement. There can be a physical token, such as those widely used in banking, where an over-the-air code is generated for you. To login you need your username, password, and the unique code (that expired every 30 seconds or so). Other companies skip the custom-hardware route and supply mobile phone apps (or SMS-delivered codes) which provide the same functionality. While not particularly common, you could also use two-factor authentication based on biometrics (such as security an encrypted file via password and fingerprint).
Why Should I Use It and Where Can I Find It?
Any time you introduce an additional layer to your security routine, you always have to ask yourself if the hassle is merited. Multi-factor authentication for a muscle car discussion forum that contains no personal information and is in no way linked to your real email or financial information is obviously overkill. Having a second layer of authentication for your credit card or primary email account, however, is just practical—the personal and financial trauma that would result from an identity thief or other malicious entity having access to those things far outweighs the minor hassle of inputting an extra bit of information.
Anytime two-factor authentication is available for a system and that system being compromised would cause you significant suffering, you should enable it. Having your email compromised opens you up to other services being compromised as email servers as a sort of master-key for access to password resets and other inquiries. If your bank provides a mobile authenticator or other tool, take advantage of it. Even for things like your roommates Diablo III account—players spend hundreds of hours building their characters and often spend real money purchasing in-game goods, losing all that labor and gear is an awful proposition, slap an authenticator on your account!
Not every service offers two-factor authentication, unfortunately. The best way to find out is to dig through the FAQ/support files and/or contact the support staff for the service in question. That said, many companies are vocal about their adoption of multi-factor authentication schemes.
Google has two-factor authentication both for SMS and with a handy mobile app—read our guide to installing and configuring the mobile app here.
LastPass offers multiple forms of multi-factor authentication including using Google Authenticator. We have a guide to configuring it here.
Facebook has a two-factor system called “login approvals” that uses SMS to confirm your identity.
SpiderOak, a Dropbox like storage service, offers two-factor authentication.
Blizzard, the company behind games like World of War Craft and Diablo, has a free authenticator.
Even if it looks like, based on reading the FAQ file of the company in question, they don’t have two-factor authentication, shoot them an email and ask. The more people that ask about two-factor, the higher chance the company will implement it.
While two-factor authentication isn’t invulnerable to attack (a sophisticated man-in-the-middle attack or someone stealing your secondary authentication token and beating you with a pipe could crack it), it’s radically more secure than relying on a regular password and simply having a two-factor system enabled makes you a much less compelling target.
Know of a service, big or small, that offers two-factor authentication? Sound off in the comments to alert your fellow readers.

Also Google’s authenticator is open-source so third-parties can use it freely (LastPass already do, as you mentioned). There’s code out there for you to use to quickly implement it on your own websites if you want.
There’s also a PAM module so you can use it on your *NIX host logins too if you should so wish. I’ve even seen some ruby code that allows you to use in conjunction with SSH key pair logons.
Not sure if anyone’s added it to an OpenID provider. That’d be cool.

I’m using it ever since I got my first android phone. For both Google and Last Pass. Makes me feel a bit more secure online.

What good is google’s authenticator if they bend over everytime the feds want information on someone? The feds hold 5 aces an you don’t have a pair.
4. Tim
Facebook, at least for the Android App, has 2-Factor built in (if you want to use it). Open up your side bar of options and scroll down to “Code Generator.” It works just like Google’s Authenticator app. It’s great when when/if you don’t have cell reception to get an SMS with a code in it.
5. MarkE
Seems like many organizations are still struggling with what method is best suited to add additional layers of authentication for access and transaction verification without unreasonable complexity. I’ve noticed many of the major web organizations moving to the use of a telephone (mobile or other) as a form of a token where the user is asked to telesign into their account. This should be a prerequisite to any system that wants to promote itself as being secure. Nice article it needs to be stressed that strong passwords do not replace the need for other effective security control.
6. Art€
I know that Facebook use a 2 Factor in log facility, but I’m loath to putting any (primary) info on my Facebook page (read; account) I’m not paranoid but don’t want to put any info on about my mobile telephone #!!

Johann,
Verisign’s PIP is an OpenID implementation that uses two-factor authentication:
https://pip.verisignlabs.com/
You can use an app (Android/iOS), physical card or PC software as the token to generate the one-time code to log in.
8. Sec Geek
This is in response to dave in houston’s comment about Google’s authenticator.
Google’s authenticator still helps to protect you from attackers. There are far worse people out there than the feds who want to get ahold of your information. Therefore, even if Google does “bend over everytime the feds want information on someone” (fyi – I am not saying that this is a true statement, I am simply quoting your statement here), you are still better protected from the criminals out there who will do some real damage.

Hi,
here in Croatia almost every Bank has some kind of two-factor authentication for their customers for e-banking. Eg. I have got an hardware token which I use to login to my account and to sign every transaction. Business customers got an smartcard or an usb token. Also some of them have mobile apps and some of them have an integrated token.

Soundtrack
The film's soundtrack contains 7 songs, all composed by Ouseppachan and lyrics written by Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri.
Reception
Sify.com wrote that "With a script that is full of flaws, the film is like a never ending journey. Fazil should call it day and retire gracefully, than making such stupid films. Our advice- Pick some of the old gems (DVD) of the director like Nokketha Doorathu Kannum Nattu, Ente Mamattikuttiyammaykku, Manivathoorile Ayiram Sivarathrikal or Aniyathi Pravu and re-live those fine memories . You will find it much more enjoyable than getting a migraine watching this film!" Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote" All seen and suffered; Fazil's Moz & Cat may just turn out to be the biggest disappointment of this festive season" Unni R Nair from Indian Express wrote "sadly enough, it turns out to be a damp squib. Dileep is his usual self as Moz, while Baby Nivedhitha is good as Tessy. Debutante Ashwathy is also good as Nandana. The rest of the cast are all strictly okay. Music, technical aspects etc jell with the theme and the mood, but it's the confusion about the overall mood that's to be mentioned. It's rather confusing and hence whatever is good about Moz And Cat is lost in this maze"
