Querying for images by tag using GROQ in Sanity.io
6 replies
Last updated: Sep 11, 2021
Hello, Nice to be here. I have a question about Media Browser. specifically about https://www.sanity.io/plugins/sanity-plugin-media .I have some tags and images attached to tags. I wonder is there a way to get all the images of a tag? name and url using GROQ?
Sep 11, 2021, 6:21 PM
Hi Eran. Welcome! Would you be looking for a tag by name in your query or would you be passing in the tag’s
_id
?
Sep 11, 2021, 6:32 PM
Hi, If I can ask for all images that has tags that would be great, otherwise by
_id
is also great
Sep 11, 2021, 7:13 PM
Something like this would query for all tags (
*[_type == 'media.tag']
), and then for each tag, return a list of images that reference that tag (
'images': *[_type == 'sanity.imageAsset' && references(^._id)]
)—or specifically, return the
originalFilename
and `url`:
*[_type == 'media.tag'] {
'images': *[_type == 'sanity.imageAsset' && references(^._id)]{originalFilename, url}
}
You might want to hide any tags that have no images; you can do that by adding
[count(images) > 0]
after the projection.
*[_type == 'media.tag'] {
'images': *[_type == 'sanity.imageAsset' && references(^._id)]{originalFilename, url}
}[count(images) > 0]

Amazing 👍 out of curiosity, I tried to find the metadata needed for this operation (for example the
sanity.imageAsset
type and the fields it has), but it is hard to find it in the documentation. Is there a place where you explore and play with the dataset content? like you have in graphQL?
also, not related just to confirm. the Public mode of a dataset is read-only right? users cannot write into the dataset?
Sep 11, 2021, 9:24 PM
A few things can be inferred from here and the properties are mentioned in passing here , but I agree this could be much more explicitly stated. We’ll make sure to improve those docs. Thanks for pointing that out.
For a GROQ playground, the local studio should come with the Vision plugin by default (
http://localhost:3333/vision ). If it’s not installed, the command is listed here or you can follow up in this thread and we’d be happy to help.
You’re correct: No one can write to the dataset—whether it’s public or private—without a write token.
Edit: I realize my first paragraph might not answer your question, which seems more to be asking “how do you know what you don’t know?” If that’s the case, maybe a better answer would have been to recommend you use
Ctrl + space
in the Vision plugin. That should give you a dropdown selection including all the documents, objects, arrays, etc. from your schema. It’s not perfect, but it does include the
sanity.*
objects.

How The Twentieth Century Affected Great Britain’s Aristocracy Before the twentieth century began, changes started to occur that affected Great Britain drastically. These changes include a shift in the aristocracy’s power, sprouting from the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution triggered a change in politics. Politics led to one of the biggest events of the twentieth century: The Great War. This war forever changed the way of life for the British common people and the aristocratic person.The Great War helped to innovate modern technology that continues to impact us today. All of these changes contributed to the new era of twentieth century Great Britain. The century mark ushered In a new and advanced way of life for an ever-changing British aristocracy.
Britain’s aristocracy never worked for their wealth, as It had been passed down through generations. They were used to living a very plush lifestyle as they visited their many country homes and had servants to wait on them. The way of life for the aristocracy was very expensive; they were always striving for more.They desired the best of everything and were driven to acquire luxury.
In their search to be fulfilled, they would amuse themselves with remarkable “expenditure”. These included: shooting parties, balls, theatre trips, grand dinners with rich French cuisine, gambling sessions, cards, horse racing- if it was expensive they were doing it (Yams 30). No matter how wealthy or far back the family line went, there was one person who had the authority to handle these inheritances: the father. In the aristocratic home, there was a chain of command that was strictly followed.
The person with the cost control was the father.His life controlled everyone below him, and the decisions he made affected the whole family. He made financial decisions and decisions about the formally social and friend group.
The father also decided his children’s education and his family’s religious and political views. The father’s main concern dealt with his son or heir and the path in which the son might take. The father was diligent to see that the family’s money would be placed in good hands (Yams 46-47). The aristocratic father’s role was not affected by the industrial revolution as much as his lath was affected.The money that he inherited was now being invested in big business and industrialization towns.
An industrialized father would have had the same responsibilities when it comes to decision making as an aristocratic father. In the end, the aristocratic fathers main responsibility was having a male heir to Inherit and wisely look after his Inheritance (Skylarks, Stearns, Greaves, and et al 46). Next In control would have been the mother, who held the organization role. Her mall attention was focused on the servants, the house, and anything that had an appearance that could be judged.She looked after how the house was run and the children. Her relationship with her children was different; they did not see each other frequently throughout the day.
The decisions the mother made reflected how the family was viewed by the outside world and the family’s appearance to society (Yams 47-48). Unlike the father, the mother’s role was affected by the industrial revolution. Mothers of that day would have always stayed at home, but as the industrial revolution came in, it brought about change for a mother. The industrial revolution offered women opportunity.The women and mothers of that day now had a choice and freedom to have a Job. Women during the industrial revolution found themselves in factories working and providing for their families. An aristocratic mother would not have worked in a factory, but an industrialization family’s mother would have worked in a factory (Skylarks, Stearns, Greaves, and et al 45).
Beneath the father and mother’s control was the Butler and Housekeeper, who belonged to the upper servants. There were two groups of servants: the upper and lower.The Butler was in charge of many things, such as looking after the male servants in the souse, the door, phone, wine cellar, and overall the organization of the house. The Housekeeper had many roles as well. She was in charge of the lady servants and their duties, which included all of the cleaning.
She was also the key keeper. There were many other servants who had parts that fit into the maintenance of this huge home and all of its requirements that made it run smoothly. The servants comprised the very upscale lifestyle of an aristocratic family (Yams 48-51).These servants were affected by the industrial revolution because many of them saw this as a chance to hang the way they lived. Although their lifestyle was by no means lacking in affluence, the servants were unable to live a life for themselves because they were working for the people above them. Some servants desired a different way of life and that meant moving away from the estates to work in factories located in the cities (Skylarks, Stearns, Greaves, and et al 45). The Industrial Revolution brought about many societal changes that affected the British aristocracy.
Up until the mid-sass the impoverished people had few employment alternatives. As factories were built, opportunities arose for the poor and many found work. Their livelihood began to change for the better. In Yam’s words: The biggest power shift that is nudging the aristocracy from their lofty perch is that they are no longer the only rich kids on the block. With the English industrial revolution of the mid-sass and the expansion of the British Empire-comes the gradual rise of the moneyed industrialists, the factory and mill owners, a new breed of get-up-and-go entrepreneurs.It was this class of workers who were perfect for the Job considering it was not a very complex Job Hereford requiring little skill. They also were poor and would work for low wages.
This working class then became the middle-class of Britain, and they grew very quickly. The middle class also had people who striver to succeed and make money, which became competition for the aristocracy. The aristocracy was usually well known for owning ironworks and mines, as opposed to industrialists who were self- made employers (Skylarks, Stearns, Greaves, and et al 44).To the aristocratic person the years before The Great War looked picturesque as the people of that time indulged into the Edwardian Era. In reality the people were actually concerned about their nation and the predicted fall of it. Their nation was the first county to go the largest the world had ever seen. The people began to worry about surrounding competitors such as the United State and other countries like Germany, as well as the last of their imperial wars- The Boer War. The Boer War had Just ended as they brought in the Edwardian Era in 1902.
Many people were shocked at the physical condition of the people after the war.It brought attention to the needs of the impoverished people who were very malnourished and generally poor in physical notations. The overwhelming and surrounding poverty led people to doubt the substantial British Empire, as they looked back on how things were not improving.
People were becoming aware of the social conditions of the people around them and how they could assist them. Their answers were two political parties the Conservatives supported by the aristocracy and the Liberals supported by a small Labor party (Vagabond). Many political changes were about to take place in Great Britain.In 1906, a Liberal government was elected and they introduced a number of forms, which dealt with old age pensions, unemployment benefit and public health provision. This shift in politics slowed down the growth of aristocracy in Britain and connected the Labor party to the material interests of the working class. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Britain was thrown into a struggle as it faced the three years Boar War with the Boer republics of South Africa. This war raised awareness of the need to reform the army and also to get a grip of finance, public health, and colonial government.
The Liberal party reforms were established for the repose of dealing with the imperialist’s responsibilities including war. The reforms were necessary, considering that the country was about to be at war (Lambert). The Great War or World War I mattered more than all of the reforms the country of Great Britain was going through at the time.
The Great War may not have established democratic change, but it pushed Britain to move towards democracy. Although only temporary, the war’s needs weakened the exercise of constitutional government.Great Britain entered the war holding onto their nineteenth century liberal values, which were the rights of small nations and the rule of law. Great Britain tried to avoid war by convening a conference of great power, but Germany refused. Instead, Germany’s invasion of Belgium was fueled by ideologies of great power politics (Astrakhan). Great Britain fought a very bloody war, but this could not have been done without a recruitment of men.
Because Great Britain had only a small professional military force, the army was made up of volunteer citizens or temporary soldiers who were anxious to return home after having fought this war.Their newfound patriotism eave them a political voice, which was bolstered by the international political press. The louder voice of the men who fought in the Great War began to diminish the aristocracy political strongholds (Cooley 10). The Great War and the Industrial Revolution also helped create new technology that would affect the modern world. The Industrial Revolution created mass production that helped tremendously with war.
Britain was able to produce guns faster and more efficiently. These new technologies included: trench warfare, artillery, poison gas, railways, air warfare, ankhs, and naval warfare- and the submarine.The Industrial Revolution contributed to economic expansion of the new technology gained from the use of their natural resources such as coal. The twentieth century was filled with new and remarkable people of that day lived.
Mass production enabled the middle class to purchase items that previously were afforded only by the aristocracy (Skylarks, Stearns, Greaves, and et al 40-41). In conclusion, the way of life for Great Britain’s aristocracy was forever changed by the events that occurred leading up to and during the twentieth century.The Industrial Revolution brought about change that had a lasting impact; it created Jobs that had not been available previously. These Jobs made a way for people outside of the aristocracy to make a name and life for themselves. In contrast, the aristocracy was constantly trying to protect their inherited assets. The Industrial Revolution also provoked a change in politics.
Politics took a huge turn during the twentieth century; it went from being focused on the monarchy, to being a full-fledged democracy. The Great War was the result of political changes that emerged during the twentieth century.

Water board
A water board is a regional or national organisation that has very different functions from one country to another. The functions range from flood control and water resources management at the regional or local level (the Netherlands, Germany), water charging and financing at the river basin level (France), bulk water supply (South Africa), regulation of pricing and service quality of drinking water supply at the national level (Kenya) or the coordination of water resources policies between various Ministries and agencies at the national level together with the regulation of drinking water supply (the Philippines).
Germany
In Germany water boards (Wasserverbände or Wasserwirtschaftsverbände), also sometimes translated as water associations, are organizations set up under public law for different purposes ranging from wastewater treatment, flood protection, groundwater management, bulk water supply, irrigation, drainage, the restoration and protection of ecosystems to water resources monitoring.
Water boards are established on the legal basis of the federal law on water and soil associations (Gesetz über Wasser- und Bodenverbände), complemented by state laws in several German states (Länder) such as in Lower Saxony where water boards are in charge of coastal protection or North Rhine-Westphalia where water boards are based on state laws passed specifically for the purpose of creating these public service and welfare organisations. Membership can be voluntary or mandatory, depending on the purpose of the water board. Members can be individuals, typically landowners in the area covered by a water board, or municipalities. The members of the Wasserverband Westdeutsche Kanäle are for example industrial players and drinking water suppliers, too. There are thousands of water boards in Germany, mostly in Northern Germany and usually consisting of individual members. The first such water boards were created for coastal protection in the 13th century as private associations that subsequently evolved into boards established under public law.
Wasserwirtschaftsverbände in North Rhine-Westphalia are a different type of water boards and may also have members from industry, mining companies, slaughterhouses, hospitals etc., depending on the volume of waste water or impact on the regional water management. The 11 here established water boards (Aggerverband, Bergisch-Rheinischer Wasserverband, Emschergenossenschaft, Lippeverband, Erftverband, Linksniederrheinische Entwässerungsgenossenschaft (LINEG), Niersverband, Ruhrverband, Wahnbachtalsperrenverband, Wasserverband Eifel-Rur, Wupperverband) have their historical starting point in the industrial developments in the 19th century and are always public and non-profit organisations.
In parallel, in the middle of the 19th century the Emscher catchment experienced hard coal mining and steel industry, in the Erft catchment brown coal mining started and in the Wupper catchment chemical and textile industry expanded. The growing environmental and health problems were leading to legislative solutions with specialized catchments area related laws. In 1899 the Emschergenossenschaft was founded and the other Wasserwirtschaftsverbände followed hereafter. Today about 75% of the land area in North Rhine-Westphalia are managed by Wasserwirtschaftsverbände, covering the sub catchments of the Rhine or Meuse tributaries. The administrative and organisational frame is comparable to the Dutch water boards (waterschappen).
Kenya
Water Services Boards in Kenya are asset holding companies. They are responsible for the development and rehabilitation of water and sewerage facilities, for investment planning and implementation in their service area. There are 8 regional Water Service Boards in the country. The Water Service Boards have signed service provision agreements with 120 local Water Service Providers that are responsible for the operation of water and sewerage systems. The Water Service Providers are regulated by a national body called the Water Services Regulatory Board (WASREB), a non-commercial state corporation established in March 2003 on the basis of the 2002 Water Act. Its functions comprise among others: issuing of licenses to water services boards and approval of service provision agreements between service providers and asset holding companies, developing tariff guidelines and carrying out tariff negotiations, setting standards and developing guidelines for service provision, publishing the results of sector monitoring in the form of comparative reports.
Netherlands
Dutch water boards (Dutch: waterschappen or hoogheemraadschappen) are regional government bodies charged with managing water barriers, waterways, water levels, water quality and sewage treatment in their respective regions. These regional water authorities are among the oldest forms of local government in the Netherlands, some of them having been founded in the 13th century.
Philippines
The National Water Resources Board (NWRB), created in 1976 through the National Water Code, coordinates policies concerning water resources. Since 2002, the National Water Resources Board (NWBR) is also entrusted with the economic regulation of water supply systems operated by local government units and water districts.
Sri Lanka
The National Water Supply and Drainage Board is the National Organization responsible for the provision of safe drinking water and facilitating the provision of sanitation to the people in Sri Lanka. The main functions of the organization are implementation of new urban and rural water supply projects, carrying out sector planning, feasibility studies, detailed designs, tender documentation, contract administration, project supervision and research and development work in the water and sanitation sector.
South Africa
Water Boards play a key role in the South African water sector. They operate dams, bulk water supply infrastructure, some retail infrastructure and some wastewater systems. Some also provide technical assistance to municipalities. Through their role in the operation of dams they also play an important role in water resources management. The Water Boards report to the Department of Water and Forestry.

Hypatia was a Neoplatonist philosopher and mathematician from Alexandria, Egypt who was murdered in 415AD. She is the first well-documented female philosopher and was renowned in her time. Hypatia served as advisor to the Roman prefect Orestes, but was accused of preventing his reconciliation with the Christian bishop of Alexandria, Cyril. During Lent she was taken to a former pagan temple by a Christian mob led by a church lector named Peter. They stripped her naked before they attacked her with ‘ostraka,’ which can be translated as ‘oysters’ or ‘roof tiles.’ The mob cut out her eyes and mangled her body before dragging its pieces to the Cinarion to be burnt. Her murder shocked scholars, philosophers, and rulers throughout the Roman Empire. To this day she is seen as a martyr for philosophy and an icon for women’s rights.

Polk's Lessee v. Wendell
ERROR to the Circuit Court of West Tennessee. This was an action of ejectment, for five thousand acres of land, in the State of Tennessee, granted by the Governor of North Carolina, to Polk, the lessor of the plaintiff, on the 6th of May, 1800, on a warrant from John Armstrong's office, dated May 25th, 1784. The defendants, who were proved to be in possession of part of this tract, claimed title under a grant from the Governor of North Carolina to John Seveir, for twenty-five thousand and sixty acres, bearing date on the 28th of August, 1795. This grant appears by the annexed certificate of survey to be founded on forty land warrants of six hundred and forty acres each, numbered from 1634 to 1676, and surveyed in one entire tract. The land in dispute was proved to lie within the lines of Serveir's grant. The plaintiff having proved that John Carter was entry-taker of Washington county until February 28th, 1780, and that Landon Carter was then appointed, offered in evidence an office copy of an abstract (marked K. in the transcript) of the warrants, on which Seveir's survey and grant were founded; the original book of entries being destroyed. From this copy it appeared, that all the warrants were issued from the Washington county office, in April or May, 1780, to the surveyor of Sullivan county, and purported to be founded on entries which bore date on the 16th of September, 1779. They were all signed 'Landon Carter, Entry-taker.' He also produced, and offered to give in evidence, office copies of warrants from the same office, (marked H. and L. in the transcript,) of the same dates and numbers, but to different persons, and for different quantities of land. These warrants appeared to be issued by John Carter; and were offered, like Seveir's warrants, for the purpose of showing that the latter were spurious, and, consequently, that Seveir's grant was void. The plaintiff also offered in evidence a grant to Seveir for 32,000 acres, dated 27th of November, 1795, which purported to be founded on thirty-six warrants, all of them except the two first on alleged entries, dated on the same 16th of September, 1779. He also offered to prove, that the two first warrants had been satisfied by prior grants, and in respect to the others, that warrants for the same numbers issued to other persons, and were recognised in the abstract of Carter's entry book, but none of Seveir's. The plaintiff also offered to prove, that the warrants and locations of Seveir had been insinuated, in 1794 or 1795, into the entry taker's office without his knowledge; that they were rejected by the entry-taker as spurious; and that the locations were in Seveir's hand-writing. The plaintiff also offered to given in evidence a report to the legislature of Tennessee, of November 8th, 1803, declaring all Seveir's warrants to be fraudulent fabrications. All this testimony was overruled and rejected by the Court, to which the plaintiff excepted. A verdict was taken, and judgment rendered for the defendants, and the cause was brought by writ of error to this Court. March 1st. Mr. Harper, and Mr. Gaston, for the plaintiff, argued, 1. That it was competent for the plaintiff to show, that no entries had been made in the land office of North Carolina, and that, therefore, the Governor had no power to issue the grant. The act of 1777, c. 1. s. 3. makes the entry the first essential and indispensable requisite to obtaining a title to vacant land. The 5th section points out the difference between location, entry, and warrant. The entries are the foundation of the claim, and are all to be numbered in the order in which they are made. The 9th section declares every right obtained in any other manner, 'utterly void.' This section follows the directions in regard to the entry, and makes a valid entry the one thing needful. In the construction of this statute, it has been settled in the Courts of North Carolina, that no legal title is created until the grant; and that the elder grant, though founded on a junior entry, is, at law, to be preferred to a junior grant on an elder title; that an equitable interest is acquired by the first entry, which is to be enforced as other equitable titles are enforced. It is also settled, that when a grant issues, it furnishes sufficient prima facie evidence, that all the prerequisites of the law have been complied with; and that it cannot be avoided by showing irregularities in the conduct of the officers who superintended the progress of the claim from the entry to the grant. There have been loose dicta, unsatisfactory and inconclusive reasonings, from which other inferences have been drawn: But it is denied, that it ever was law in North Carolina, that a grant should be good if it could be clearly shown that it was not founded on an entry, but was wholly fraudulent. It would have been impossible to pronounce such a decision without a violation of the plan, strong words of the 9th section of the act, 'shall be deemed, and are hereby declared utterly void.' Such a decision too, would have been inconsistent with the first principles of the common law, fraud being the object of its peculiar adhorrence, and contaminating every act.a Courts of common law have a concurrent jurisdiction with Courts of Equity, in all cases of frauds.b It is impossible that a grant, begun and ended in fraud, where there has been no claim entered, nor purchase made from the State, should be valid. If, however, a doubt could exist in the case of a grant issuing before the year 1789, assuredly none can be entertained on a grant made by the governor of North Carolina since the cession of the territory, which now forms the State of Tennessee, to the United States. By the act of cession, the sovereignty and domain are relinquished by North Carolina, and a mere ministerial power is reserved to the Governor of that State to perfect grants, 'where entries have been made agreeably to law, and the titles not perfected.' The State has no longer authority to dispose of the lands. She is no longer their proprietor. The Governor has a mere naked power, unconnected with an interest, to make grants where entries have been previously made. A grant issued where no entry has been made, is an act wholly unsupported by the power, and cannot possibly transfer an interest. The whole question has, in fact, been already settled by the reasoning and decision of this Court, when this case was formerly before it.c

d ''Gilb. Law of Evid.'' 69. Phillips on Evid. 303, 304. kept in unsuspected repositories.e The day book of a prison, containing a narrative of the transactions there, is proof of the time of a prisoner's commitment.f So, terriers are evidence of manorial boundaries, either when found in the regular repositories, or in places where the custody can be satisfactorily explained.g But, in this case, there are positive statutes of the legislature of Tennessee, by which this book of entries and copies from it are made evidence.h In addition to all this, was the parol evidence. The introduction of these locations and warrants into the office in 1795, in a secret manner, betrayed a consciousness that they had not before existed there. This accumulation of proof fully established the plaintiff's allegation; or, at all events, it had a tendency to establish it, and its sufficiency ought to have been left to the jury. As to the legislative report; there is some reason to believe, that the legislature of Tennessee intended, by their act of 1807, c. 82., to make it evidence. At least it might have been proper evidence to bring home notice to the defendants, prior to their purchase.

The testimony offered in this case was clearly inadmissible upon the principles of the former decision of this Court; in which, it may be added, that the Court has gone farther than the local Courts in permitting inquiries into facts occurring prior to the issuing of a grant.j The Court below gave no opinion upon any specific evidence, but on the general question, and rejected the whole testimony, which was offered to prove that the warrants were forged. But in order to prove this, the production of the warrants was indispensable, and no inferior proof ought to have been received. The abstract is defective, because it is only of a part of a record, when it ought to be of the whole, and so certified. It is a part only of a copy of a copy. The attempt to infer the spuriousness of the warrants from the identity of the numbers, was justly repelled, because the same numbers are often given to many warrants, and it can seldom be shown on what entry the grant issued. The report of the select committee of the legislature was also inadmissible as evidence; both because there is no proof that it was ever acted on by the house, and because the State of Tennessee had, at the time, no authority over the lands, North Carolina having retained the right of completing titles originating before the cession. 3.

2. The evidence offered by the plaintiff was proper in itself, and relevant to show, that no entries had been made, prior to the cession, authorizing the Governor of North Carolina to make a grant to Sevier. The best evidence was offered of the pretended warrant on which his grant was founded, and, also, to show, that other warrants existed of precisely the same numbers. This alone raised a presumption, that one or the other must have been spurious. According to the act of 1777, c. 1. s. 5. there could not possibly be two sets of entries of the same numbers, without the most extraordinary negligence. This testimony ought to have gone to the jury, even if there had been no other. It should have been left to them to decide which of the two sets of warrants was spurious under the peculiar circumstances of the case. But it was supported by corroborating evidence of great weight; by the abstract of Carter's entries. The competency of this evidence may be maintained both on the ground of common law principles, and on special enactments of the local legislature. It is the best which the nature of the case admits of. Works compiled by authority and order of the government of the country, on public occasions, and on subjects of public interest, are recognized as authentic documents in courts of justice, and admitted as evidence in matters of private right. Such are, in England, the celebrated Doomsday Book; the Survey of the King's Ports; the Valor Beneficiorum;d copies of Surveys of Church and Crown Lands; The Attorney General, and Mr. Williams, contra, insisted, 1. That the proceedings on which a grant issues, are to be presumed to be correct. They constitute a question between the State and the grantee March 9th. Mr. Justice JOHNSON delivered the opinion of the Court.

Sorry, as stated in the earlier edit I would like "suggesting that the 6'4" Brown was not standing, running, or walking when the shot was fired" to be replace with "and that he did not appear to have been shot from very close range, because no powder burns were found on his body." this better reflects what Dr. Baden said. I cannot find anywhere in the article from the New York Times that is cited as "22" where it says that Brown was not standing, running, or walking when the shot was fired.

Misleading information
"Also on Monday, Brown's family and Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City medical examiner who examined Brown's body on Sunday, released findings which showed Brown had been shot at least six times to the front of his body, that the fatal shot was fired into the top of his head and exited from the front, and that he did not appear to have been shot from very close range because no powder burns were found on his body."
From the article it is sourced from, this last line is missing:
"But that determination could change if burns are found on his clothing, which was not available for examination."
Its omission can be misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 13:45, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

* 1) mayor or Mayor ?
* 2) city council or city council ?
* The article you linked to, Mayoralty in the United States, describes two different forms of mayorality in the U.S. I can find nothing in the Ferguson article or on the City's official website to indicate which form Ferguson uses, if either. They might use something different from either form. I would not object to a link to the Mayoralty in the United States article, but not to a section within it, unless you can show that Ferguson uses that form. Please don't interpret this as a consensus for that change, as I am only one voice.
* Correct capitalization is important. You would capitalize "mayor" only when it precedes the mayor's name (or if it is the first word of a sentence). We write "James Knowles III was elected mayor in 2011, and Mayor Knowles was in office at the time of the shooting of Michael Brown." Many Wikipedia articles, including this one, capitalize titles incorrectly.

What can Siri do for You? Find Out!
Apple is known for offering top-tier products to millions of loyal customers and fans all around the globe. Moreover, the tech giant ensures that the users of all their devices have a seamless and exceptional user experience, which is why it offers a plethora of top-tier features and functionalities. One of the most prominent ones is Siri, the personal AI-based assistant available on all Macs, iPads, and iPhones. As per Online Sciences, there are numerous advantages of using Siri. For starters, it facilitates individuals to open any app or utility with the help of voice commands. Besides this, the personal assistant integrates with HomeKit-enabled items and accessories to perform numerous activities such as turning on lights, adjusting the temperature, sending money, etc.
Even though millions of Apple device users utilize the smart personal assistant for numerous basic tasks, the majority of them do not know all about the Ai-based technology’s capabilities. Besides performing basic tasks like opening an app or calling a contact after receiving the right voice command, Siri can easily perform much more complex tasks. However, users need to set it up first to use the utility. This article will shed light on how users can set up Siri to get started and list some of the most prominent tasks Apple’s assistant can perform for users. Let us dive right into it:
How to Set Up Siri:
iPhone, iPad, and Mac users must set up Siri before they can use it. Here is a brief look at how users of different Apple devices can set up the powerful voice assistant and enjoy its benefits:
iOS - The setup process for Siri is similar for all iPhone models. Hence, users of any iPhone model can easily set up Siri and use it after following a few simple steps. For instance, if you are wondering how to activate Siri on iPhone 12, iPhone 13, or any iPhone model, all you need to do is open the Settings app, navigate to the Siri & Search option, enable the given options as per your requirements, press on “Continue,” and finish the setup process by inputting your voice and saying certain phrases.
macOS - To set up Siri on Mac, open the Apple menu, click on System Settings, open the Siri & Spotlight sidebar, and turn on “Ask Siri” by clicking on the “Enable” option.
iPadOS - To set up Siri on iPad, open the Settings app, tap on the “Siri & Search” option, and activate Siri by turning on the "Press Top Button for Siri."
• Translate English Into Other Languages
One of the most popular features of Apple’s personal assistant is that it can seamlessly translate anything said in the English language into multiple other languages. This top-tier capability of Siri comes in handy when users are traveling abroad. All you need to do to translate any English sentence or phrase into another language is invoke Siri and say, “How do you say (the word, phrase, or sentence you wish to translate) in (the language into which you wish the words to be translated into).
• Send Text Messages to Any Contact
Sending a text message is not a complicated task on Apple devices. All the user needs to do is navigate to the native Messages app, open the conversation with the contact they wish to send a message to, type it, and hit the arrow key to get the job. However, there are instances when users are stuck in situations where they cannot take out their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to send a message, i.e., while driving or eating. However, with the help of Siri, users can send messages to any contact without touching their device. All they need to do is call out Siri and say, “Send text to (name of the contact) saying (the message content). This trick is used by tons of Apple device users to send messages instantly to contacts during urgent situations or emergencies.
• Listen to a Bedtime Story
Users who are habituated to listening to exciting stories before sleeping can use their Mac, iPad, or iPhone to listen to bedtime stories and fall asleep quicker. All the user needs to do to hear a bedtime story from Siri is call out to it and say, “Tell me a bedtime story please.” Once Siri registers the command, it will automatically start dictating an interesting bedtime story that users can listen to while trying to sleep.
• Save the Location of the Spot Where Your Car is Parked
If you are tired of forgetting where you parked your vehicle, you can use Siri to remember its precise location. All you have to do is access Siri by calling it and saying, “Remember where I parked my car.” Doing so will make it save the location of the parking spot.
Use Siri to perform the aforementioned tricks to get the most out of your Apple device.

Surprise Kanye West performance ends in fans' disappointment
New York (CNN)It was an only-in-New-York moment: the announcement of a surprise Kanye West performance that drew throngs of people to the streets of Manhattan in the middle of the night. But instead of a concert to remember, the night ended with a hoard of disappointed fans and allegations that police used pepper spray to disperse them. People hoping to see the Grammy-winning artist packed the sidewalk and streets outside a Manhattan concert hall for hours early Monday after his scheduled show at the Governors Ball, an area outdoor music festival, was canceled Sunday due to a forecast of severe weather. "We're doing PABLO at 2 am in Manhattan. sorting out where now," Virgil Abloh, West's creative director, wrote online at 10 p.m. Sunday. West had been set to perform songs from his seventh studio album, "The Life of Pablo," at the festival. Though a location for the surprise concert was never disclosed, fans began to gather shortly after Abloh's announcement outside Webster Hall, a large music venue in the East Village. The concert hall had hosted electronic music duo Galantis earlier Sunday night as part of the Governors Ball series, and rumors of the secret concert quickly circulated on social media. West frequently uses social media to connect with fans and often announces on Twitter when he's dropping new music, most recently Friday with his new single from the compilation album "Cruel Winter." How Kanye's 'Life of Pablo' raps got flushed away As the hour of the so-called pop-up show approached, sweaty young fans crammed shoulder to shoulder outside Webster Hall. Dozens of New York police vehicles and officers encircled them. The crowd of locals and tourists bellowed chants of the rapper's name and took Snapchat videos of the chaotic scene. Roars rippled through as celebrities, including hip-hop star ASAP Rocky, pushed through the mass. But before the performance was even made official, West and the venue tried to deter the waiting fans. "Show at 2am SOLD OUT," West tweeted just after 1 a.m. "There is no late show at Webster Hall tonight. Please get home safely," the concert hall tweeted at 1:45 a.m., just before the event had been supposed to start. When a voice on a bullhorn told the crowd a concert was "not happening," fans could be heard shouting expletives. But they held out hope. It wasn't until authorities apparently used dispersal tactics around 2:30 a.m. that a notable number began to leave. Several fans covered their mouths and keeled over, saying something like tear gas or pepper spray had been deployed. New York police told CNN they did not use tear gas or pepper spray outside the concert hall. A spokesman said additional officers had been called to the area in a "level three mobilization call" for "crowd control." One person was arrested for disorderly conduct. In an updated post on Instagram, Abloh, West's partner, said the event had been canceled "due to safety priority." Abloh also shared a photo of a shirt with the words "New York" crossed out in marker, and "Yeezy hostage," added below, referring to West, in an Instagram post that has since been deleted. West has not yet publicly commented on the chaos. Photos circulated online in the 2 a.m. hour show him standing up through the sunroof of a car outside the venue. And wife Kim Kardashian promised in a tweet that he would make it up to those who turned up.

Voree plates
The Voree plates, also called The Record of Rajah Manchou of Vorito, or the Voree Record, were a set of three tiny metal plates allegedly discovered by James J. Strang, a leader of the Latter Day Saint movement, in Voree, Wisconsin, United States, in 1845.
Purportedly the final testament of an ancient American ruler named "Rajah Manchou of Vorito", Strang asserted that this discovery vindicated his claims to be the true successor of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saint movement—as opposed to Brigham Young, whom most Latter Day Saints accepted as Smith's successor in 1844. The plates also lent credence to Strang's claim that Voree, not the Salt Lake Valley, was to be the new "gathering place" of the Latter Day Saints. His purported translation of this text is accepted as scripture by his church and some other bodies descending from it, but not by any other Latter Day Saint organization.
Unlike the golden plates used by Smith to produce the Book of Mormon, the existence of Strang's plates was verified by independent, non-Mormon witnesses, including Christopher Latham Sholes, inventor of the first practical typewriter. Strang was accused of having fabricated the plates from a brass tea kettle, a claim which he and his partisans vigorously denied. The plates disappeared around 1900 and their current whereabouts are unknown.
Discovery
According to Latter Day Saint beliefs, many ancient inhabitants of the Americas engraved records on metal plates. Joseph Smith, the movement's founding prophet, claimed that he translated the Book of Mormon from a set of golden plates which he was shown the location of by an angel named Moroni.
Following Smith's murder in 1844, a number of claimants came forward to lead his nascent church, including Strang. As a recent convert to Mormonism, Strang did not possess the name recognition among rank-and-file Latter Day Saints enjoyed by Brigham Young and Sidney Rigdon, the two principal contenders for church leadership. Hence, Strang faced an uphill battle in his quest to be recognized as the heir to Smith's prophetic mantle.
To advance his cause, Strang asserted that unlike Rigdon and Young, he had hard evidence of his prophetic calling. One of Smith's titles had been "Prophet, Seer, Revelator, and Translator", and Strang wished to substantiate his claim to succession by following in Smith's footsteps. So, while Young and Rigdon never offered their followers any newly revealed ancient records, Strang announced on January 17, 1845, that God had promised to lead him to a hitherto-undiscovered chronicle of a long-lost American people. This, said Strang, would prove that he was Smith's true successor.
Strang next testified that on September 1, 1845, an angel of God appeared to him and showed him the location of "the record of my people in whose possession thou dwellest." Accordingly, he went on September 13 to the indicated site, located in Voree, Wisconsin, south of the White River on what is now referred to as the "Hill of Promise." Strang led four witnesses to a large oak on the hillside, inviting them to examine the ground around the tree carefully before digging for the plates. All four later testified that they could discern no evidence of digging or other disturbance of the ground.
After removing the tree, Strang's companions dug down approximately three feet, where they discovered three small brass plates in a case of baked clay. Strang subsequently claimed to have deciphered this record, which he said was authored by an ancient Native American named "Rajah Manchou of Vorito."
Appearance and dimensions
The Voree plates measured approximately 2.5 inches long, and between 1.25 and 1.5 inches wide. According to one anonymous witness, they were "about the thickness of a piece of tin, fastened together in one corner by a ring passing through them." A second witness described them as being "thickly covered with ancient characters of curious workmanship." Stephen Post, the brother of Strangite apostle Warren Post, visited Strang in 1850 and examined the plates for himself, noting that "they were not polished very smooth before engraving, by appearance."
Unlike his brother, Stephen Post had trouble believing Strang's account of the plates' origin and discovery: "With all the faith & confidence that I could exercise," he later wrote, "all that I could realize was that Strang made the plates himself, or at least that it was possible that he made them." Post equally observed that the brass used in the Voree plates seemed indistinguishable to him from the French brass used in ordinary tea kettles.
Four of the six sides of the Voree plates contained text written in an unknown script. The fifth side contained a map showing the area where the plates were found, while side one contained engravings of the "all-seeing eye" and a man holding a scepter, with the sun, moon, and stars beneath him. These images were said to represent God, the president of the church, his two counselors, the high council of the church, the apostles, and the seventies.
Translation and testimony
Strang's published translation of the Voree plates reads as follows: My people are no more. The mighty are fallen, and the young slain in battle. Their bones bleached on the plain by the noonday shadow. The houses are leveled to the dust, and in the moat are the walls. They shall be inhabited.
I have in the burial served them, and their bones in the Death-shade, towards the sun's rising, are covered. They sleep with the mighty dead, and they rest with their fathers. They have fallen in transgression and are not, but the elect and faithful there shall dwell.
The word hath revealed it. God hath sworn to give an inheritance to his people where transgressors perished. The word of God came to me while I mourned in the Death-shade, saying, I will avenge me on the destroyer. He shall be driven out. Other strangers shall inhabit thy land. I an ensign there will set up. The escaped of my people there shall dwell when the flock disown the Shepherd and build not on the Rock.
The forerunner men shall kill, but a mighty prophet there shall dwell. I will be his strength, and he shall bring forth thy record. Record my words, and bury it in the Hill of Promise.
Strang published facsimiles of the Voree plates, and his translations of them, in his church's newspaper, The Voree Herald. Many Latter Day Saints found this new discovery compelling and believed it to be a sure sign that Strang was indeed Smith's true successor. For those who remained skeptical or merely curious, Mormon or non-Mormon, Strang readily produced the plates themselves for personal examination.
One such investigator was the non-Mormon Christopher Sholes, inventor of the first practical typewriter, and a later inspiration to Thomas Edison. As the editor of the Southport Telegraph, Sholes called upon Strang and perused his discovery. Sholes offered no opinion on the plates, but described Strang as "honest and earnest" and opined that his followers ranked "among the most honest and intelligent men in the neighborhood."
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ, the two largest factions of the Latter Day Saint movement, both reject Strang's claims to prophetic leadership and the purported authenticity of the Voree plates.
Possible additional text
According to one source, there may have been text translated from the Voree plates that Strang never made public. Strang himself had indicated more than once that he had released to his followers only "part of the record of Rajah Manchou of Vorito." H. V. Reed, who had visited Strang and read his translation, published a possible addition to Strang's text in the Chicago Illustrated Journal in January 1873:
It shall come to pass in the latter days, that my people shall hear my voice, and the truth shall speak from the earth, and my people shall hear, and shall come and build the Temple of the Lord. My prophet, unto whom I send my word, shall lead them, and guide them in the ways of peace and salvation.
In Voree the name of the Mighty One shall be heard, and the nations shall obey my law, and hear the words of my servant, whom I shall raise up unto them in the latter days.
No official determination has been made by the Strangite church as to whether these words should be considered part of Strang's translation or not.
Allegations of forgery
Some members of competing restoration churches have insisted that the Voree plates were forged by Strang. Isaac Scott, an ex-Strangite, wrote to Joseph Smith III alleging that he learned from Caleb Barnes, Strang's former law partner, that he and Strang had fabricated the plates from a tea kettle belonging to Strang's father-in-law as part of a land speculation scheme.
According to Scott, Barnes and Strang "made the 'plates' out of Ben [Perce]'s old kettle and engraved them with an old saw file, and ... when completed they put acid on them to corrode them and give them an ancient appearance; and that to deposit them under the tree, where they were found, they took a large auger ... which Ben [Perce] owned, put a fork handle on the auger and with it bored a long slanting hole under a tree on 'The Hill of Promise,' as they called it, laying the earth in a trail on a cloth as taken out, then put the 'plates' in, tamping in all the earth again, leaving no trace of their work visible.”
Wingfield W. Watson, a high priest in the Strangite sect who knew Strang, vigorously challenged these allegations in an 1889 publication entitled The Prophetic Controversy #3. Among other things, Watson points out that the theory advanced fails to explain how the 12"x12"x3" stone covering block was placed above the case containing the plates. Strang was assassinated in 1856. The Voree plates remained with his family until they disappeared sometime around 1900. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
Script used on the plates
The Voree plates are written in an unknown alphabet. Strang authored a personal diary during his youth, parts of which were written in a secret code which was not deciphered until over one hundred years later by his grandson. Comparison of the script used in the coded portions of Strang's diary and the script used on the Voree plates shows remarkable similarities between the two.
Keith Thompson alleges that the text on the plates matches Strang's published translation. Although he did not identify the values of specific characters, he claimed to have shown how words such as "and", "in", and "are" appear in multiple places. According to a Strangite website, Derek J. Masson, a non-Mormon scholar, reportedly argued in an unpublished 1977 paper that Strang's translation was sound. This same site alleges that a second scholar, Robert Madison, concluded in 1990 that the text on the plates appears to represent a genuine, albeit unknown, language, and that Strang's translation appeared to be "a superb (if poetic) rendition of that text into English."
Independent scholarly assessment of Masson's and Madison's conclusions does not exist.

HTML Question
Error parsing text from specific class in beautifulsoup soup
I want to extract the text from a complicated newssite. Example HTML code:
<div class="article-section clearfix">
<p style="line-height:1em;">
<span class="spTextSmaller">Wenig Zeit? Am Textende gibt's eine Zusammenfassung. </span>
</p>
<p>
<hr noshade="1"/>
</p>
<p>Das Ende der Welt ...</p>
<p>Brzezinski ... </p>
<p>blubla</p>
<p>tututut</p>
<div class="asset-box spPhotoGallery spPhotoGalleryZitat article-quote-gallery">
<div class="asset-title">"Ich werde es niemals ausschließen"</div>
<div class="zitat-box">
<a href="" class="zitat-box-button"><img src="..." height="48" width="48" alt="Zitate starten" />
</a><a href="..." title="Zitate starten" class="zitat-box-content">... </a></div>
<p>Zitate starten: Klicken Sie auf den Pfeil</p>
</div>
<p>Blabla ..."</p>
<p>randomletters </p>
</div>
I want to extract all the text between the tags of the class "article-section clearfix so in this example
['Das Ende der Welt ... ', 'Brzezinski ... ', 'blubla', 'tututut', 'Blabla ..."', 'randomletters ']
It should not include "Zitate starten: Klicken Sie auf den Pfeil" which is the p-tag in the big div class "asset-box spPhotoGallery .." .
Currently I am using
textlist=[]
for tag in articlesoup.find_all("p"):
if(tag.parent["class"]==['article-section', 'clearfix']):
textlist.append(tag.get_text() + "\n")
else: continue
This results in
KeyError: 'class
'
For other pages of the website without the div class="asset-box spPhotoGallery spPhotoGalleryZitat article-quote-gallery" it works fine. Classes like ['article-image-description'] are no problem. I have not found an answer to my problem in the other beautifulsoup related questions here.
Getting all text from the ['article-section', 'clearfix'] class by
for tag in articlesoup.find_all("div", class_=['article-section, 'clearfix']): tag. get_text()
results in too much unwanted stuff, thats why I have to stick with the above mentioned solution probably.
Should I use some try method to avoid the error? Thanks for any help in advance
Answer Source
What you want is to use recursive=False:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
for p in soup.find("div",class_="article-section clearfix").find_all("p", recursive=False):
text = p.find(text=True, recursive=False).strip()
if text:
print(text)
soup.find("div",class_="article-section clearfix").find_all("p", recursive=False) gets all the p who are children of the div then text = p.find(text=True, recursive=False).strip() finds any text that is under the p tags excluding children of the tags.
You can see running on your sample we get what we want:
In [8]: html = """<div class="article-section clearfix">
<p styfrom bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = """<div class="article-section clearfix">
<p styfrom bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = """<div class="article-section clearfix">
<p style="line-height:1em;">
<span class="spTextSmaller">Wenig Zeit? Am Textende gibt's eine Zusammenfassung. </span>
</p>
<p>
<hr noshade="1"/>
</p>
<p>Das Ende der Welt ...</p>
<p>Brzezinski ... </p>
<p>blubla</p>
<p>tututut</p>
<div class="asset-box spPhotoGallery spPhotoGalleryZitat article-quote-gallery">
<div class="asset-title">"Ich werde es niemals ausschließen"</div>
<div class="zitat-box">
<a href="" class="zitat-box-button"><img src="..." height="48" width="48" alt="Zitate starten" />
</a><a href="..." title="Zitate starten" class="zitat-box-content">... </a></div>
<p>Zitate starten: Klicken Sie auf den Pfeil</p>
</div>
<p>Blabla ..."</p>
<p>randomletters </p>
</div>"""
Then:
In [9]: soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
In [10]: for p in soup.find("div", class_="article-section clearfix").find_all("p", recursive=False):
....: text = p.find(text=True, recursive=False).strip()
....: if text:
....: print(text)
....:
Das Ende der Welt ...
Brzezinski ...
blubla
tututut
Blabla ..."
randomletters
Why your code errors is that you are recursively looking for p tags and somewhere at least one of the p tags has a parent that has no class which the following demonstrates:
In [13]: html = """<div><p>foo</p> <>"""
In [14]: soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
In [15]: print(soup.find("p").parent["class"])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyError Traceback (most recent call last)

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bs4/element.py in __getitem__(self, key)
956 """tag[key] returns the value of the 'key' attribute for the tag,

In [16]: html = """<div class="bar"><p>foo</p> <>"""
In [17]: soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
In [18]: print(soup.find("p").parent["class"])

[dpdk-users] Understanding the Proper way of using ip fragmentation
Sungho Hong maverickjin88 at gmail.com
Mon Nov 5 04:57:09 CET 2018
Hello DPDK experts,
I am having trouble applying ip fragmentation in multiple cores.
*My ultimate questions is whether it is possible to have multiple ip
fragmentation table allocated with each different direct and indirect
pool. *
Really thankful if somebody can point out what I am doing wrong here or
provide me with some alternative solutions.
*Purpose*
I am trying to apply ip fragmentation in multiple cores, and maximize the
throughput performance with messages that are bigger than MTU.
for each local & remote host (using 1 to 8 logical cores)
1 ~ 4 for transferring fragmented message
4 ~ 8 for receiving and assemble message
*Method of Throughput -testing *
Sending 4KB message from local and remote echos the message back to the
local.
*Problem *
If I try to allocate fragmentation table to each of the cores, I get a
segmentation error, and this happens no matter I shrink the size of the
fragmentation table.
The way I have tried to allocate the pools and frag-table are like this
below.
for each coreid, coreid < allocated cores; coreid++
fragmentation_table[coreid] = rte_ip_frag_table_create(...);
direct_pool[coreid] = rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(...);
indirect_pool[coreid] rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(...);
So alternatively, I have allocated multiple fragmentation table for each
lcores but let the direct and indirect pools be shared together.
for each coreid, coreid < allocated cores; coreid++
fragmentation_table[coreid] = rte_ip_frag_table_create(...);
direct_pool = rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(...);
indirect_pool = rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(...);
*Situation*
Now when I send messages using multiple cores from local to remote host,
the remote host only successfully receive the message when I send the
message adding a delay such as ( adding sleep(1); for each message send. )
I was able to receive the message from local to remote. But, cannot receive
any data when I try to send them without any delay.
Personally, I suspect that I should allocate direct pool and indirect pool
for each logical cores, and I think that is the main issue. Since I was
only able to successfully use the frag-table using only one logical core, I
suspect that I am not using the fragmentation table correctly in multiple
cores.
I really want to hear from the DPDK experts about this issue I am facing,
and will be really grateful for any advice on this...

The research study concerned with the opinions, teachers and parents’ views on the use of online work in the education system with concentration on its impact on student’s grades and performance. The research methodology was represented by questionnaires and interviews conducted among the sample of survey takers and sample of online survey takers.
When analyzing the results, it became evident that different types of online work presented different results. Some of them were really helpful, while others were not. There are also some people who feel that online work as an alternative to traditional teaching is quite ineffective. In addition, there are also some people who do not want to be present for the actual classroom discussions.
Some of the important findings that were made were as follows. First, the research revealed that a large number of students prefer to complete assignments and projects online since they tend to have a more relaxed working environment, which makes the process easier. Second, a large number of students are satisfied with the fact that they do not have to interact with fellow students face to face.
Third, a significant number of students are aware of the fact that there are different types of online work that can be considered as legitimate sources of employment. Fourth, a large number of students are aware of the fact that their grades and performance can be affected by their online work. Fifth, a large number of students are aware of the fact that the online home work can be viewed as an essential part of school education. Sixth, a large number of students are aware of the fact that online home work can be taken as an extra source of income.
This study has provided us with a very informative overview of the attitudes and beliefs of the students towards online work in the education system. These facts can be used as evidence to improve the online home work as an alternative for traditional teaching. With this information, students can have a better understanding about the way that internet can affect the classroom teaching process. Moreover, with these facts, a student can take steps to improve the quality of his or her study experience by making the online work as an important part of their education system.
The study further revealed that the results of the study can be applied to the concept of home work, which may have a negative or positive effect. in classrooms. Thus, a school can consider ways in order to make home work as an effective source of learning and not a hindrance to learning.

Two notable acts of dumbness
"...the Russian Far East from the 4th century" sounds especially dumb, as there was no Russian Far East back then, there was no Russia, and there were no Russians - not even in the Far West. But it suits quite well with an illustration by a lazy cropper from the work of a lazy mapmaker who numbered 28 areas on his map and then only named 27. He didn't care, the cropper didn't care, the guy who inserted it here didn't care, and frankly, readers also don't care because hey, who gives a crap about quality or even common sense on Wikipedia, right? --<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 11:10, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

You could turn it into a steam-punk laptop by air brushing it and you could perhaps create a laptop stand out of brass.
You might be able to turn it into a fast gaming computer by booting up Windows 98 onto it via floppy disk.

Only for old games though sunshine.
I loved some of the old DOS text based adventure games; Zork, Planetfall, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Leather Goddesses of Phobos. I wasted a lot of hours on those games
I love the ms dos games too. my floppy drive stopped working and don't know how to fix it so I found an old usb drive and installed so many games from a website on it. it's easy and their zip files. then put it in the ms dos computer unzip and they work. whats wierd is that when I play wolfenstein 3d or any other games with sound the adlib or soundblaster does not work and at random times it does

Well, you can certainly use it as a dedicated machine -- music jukebox, for example, or to control a robot, or somewhere else that an arduino is too small or where you need keyboard/screen.
Depending on its age and how it's equipped, you may not be able to run a modern version of Windows on it. If not, you may be able to get a version of Linux that will boot happily on that system.
Another possiblity, if it has (or you want to add) wifi: Set up up as a remote console for your "main" machine, eg by using one of the VNC packages.
buffysissy1 (author) orksecurity6 years ago
The wifi project sounds good, how would I get started with that? I can intall Linux?
Install an operating system on the laptop (Linux is certainly one choice), and either install a client program for Windows Remote (assuming your other machine is running Windows and has started the server for the remote console) or install a Virtual Network Console (VNC) server on the system you want to control and a VNC client on the laptop.
Make sure the firewalls, if any, are set up to let the VNC traffic through.

Rh We have already seen the pomposity and verbosity displayed by Webster in the definition of number. These characteristics can be duplicated in the definitions of numerous other common words. Thus Webster states that the area of a surface is its "superficial contents": The Century defines area as "the superficies of an enclosed or defined surface space"! Webster defines a proportion as "the relation or adaptation of one portion to another or to the whole, as respects magnitude, quantity or degree." This definition (not intended, of course, as a mathematical one) is hazy enough to suit a mystic. He says equals means "exactly agreeing with respect to quantity," which is not bad aside from the fact that every word is Latin with the exception of the two prepositions. Webster defines ratio as the relation which one magnitude or quantity has to another of the same kind, and in a note distinguishes two kinds of ratio, arithmetical and geometrical. Now nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times out of ten thousand, by the ratio of two numbers, is meant the geometric ratio or the quotient of one by the other, nearly always the first divided by the second. So far as the dictionary definitions go the reader would be likely to think one definition as important as the other.
The foregoing definitions from Webster are those in the Old International now in wide use over the country. It will be found interesting to compare them with those of the New International recently published which contains numerous new features. Looking for the word number we find instead of the four definitions given above, the following two: "The or a total, aggregate, or amount of units (whether of things, persons, or abstract units); arithmetical aggregate; as odd or even number." Now bad as the preceding definitions were, probably every one will say these are inferior in their crude awkwardness. Ideas, for instance, would hardly be included in the parenthesis list, and yet they can be counted when they exist. What the last phrase about odd and even means in its setting does not appear.
Fortunately the bad definition of number just referred to seems to be a very poor example by which to judge the new dictionary. The definitions of ratio and proportions, for instance, unlike in the old dictionary, are above reproach, with a single exception. Under ratio it is said that it is sometimes called the "rule of three." This is evidently a continuation of the old confusion of ratio and proportion. Ratio has only two terms, while rule of three has three, with a fourth implied. Under "proportion" one definition is, the rule of three, which is correct.
Under the word area are given the same old definitions which have been handed down from Dr. Johnson's time, hazy in meaning and oozing with Latin roots. Under the word volume, on the other hand, strangely enough, is found a simple and correct definition. Thus,

Zinc, oxidant-triggered cell signaling, and human health
Patricia I. Oteiza, Gerardo Mackenzie
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
85 Scopus citations
Abstract
Zinc (Zn) deficiency, a frequent condition in human populations, induces oxidative stress and subsequently activates/inhibits oxidant-sensitive transcription factors that can affect cell function, proliferation and survival leading to disease. Zn deficiency-triggered oxidative stress could affect cell signaling, including: (1) transcription factors containing Zn finger motifs, and (2) other oxidant-sensitive transcription factors (NF-κB and AP-1). The Zn finger motif in the Zn finger transcription factors is mainly a DNA binding domain. Cysteine residues coordinate the Zn ion folding structural domains that participate in intermolecular interactions. Oxidative stress can impair the DNA-binding activity of Zn finger transcription factor, by oxidizing the cysteine residues and therefore altering the secondary structure of the protein. AP-1 is generally activated in Zn deficiency that can occur secondary to an increase in cellular H2O2, followed by activation of MAPKs p38 and JNK. The role of AP-1 in Zn deficiency-associated pathology remains to be established. The cytosolic steps of the NF-κB cascade are activated by oxidants in Zn deficiency. However, an impaired nuclear transport of the active transcription factor leads to a low expression of NF-κB-dependent genes that could be involved in multiple aspects of Zn deficiency associated pathology. In summary, Zn deficiency induces oxidative stress that can both, lead to tissue oxidative damage and/or to the modulation of select signaling cascades. Their role in the pathology of Zn deficiency remains to be defined.

23rd March marks a historical event in the history of Pakistan. It is proudly celebrated by Pakistanis all around the country! The event dates back to 1940 when Pakistan Resolution which was previously known as Lahore Resolution was signed. The event holds utmost significance in the history of the country as well as for its people. Minar e Pakistan is the historical monument built at the place where the resolution was held. This is primarily because this was the first time, the idea for a separate nation was accepted. The dream that was completed on 14th August 1947 was initiated on 23rd March 1940.
Pakistan Resolution 1940
Pakistan Resolution was passed on 23rd March 1940 by the All-India Muslim League at Manto Park. This document is also known as the ‘Father Document’ of the country because it was the only document upon which everyone agreed! Throughout the history of Pakistan, numerous initiatives were brought but some agreed while some disagreed leading to its failure. However, Pakistan Resolution was unanimously agreed upon by everyone who was present. A three-day session was held from 22nd to 24th March in 1940 and the resolution was passed on the third day. Initially, the historic day was called Republic day because Pakistan was not the name that was used at that time. It was after the establishment of the separate state that the significant event came to be known as the Pakistan Resolution.
Do you know how Pakistan Day is celebrated every year?
Pakistan Resolution is one of the most significant events that occurred in the history of the country. Therefore, this day is celebrated with great devotion and vigor. The flag of the country is hoisted on all public and government buildings on the morning of Pakistan Day. Other than this, a 31 gun salute is performed in Islamabad, the capital city, and 21 gun salute in the provincial capitals of the country. Not only this, but a change of guards also occurs at the mausoleums of Allama Iqbal in Lahore and Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in Karachi. This is also followed by the layering of garlands.
Pakistan is a beautiful, magical country that never fails to impress us with its jaw-dropping beauty. This Pakistan Day let’s explore some of the facts of the country that we previously did not know of!
Greatest Density of 8000m Peaks
The greatest mountain range in Pakistan is the Karakoram which is located in the northern province of Gilgit Baltistan. This is one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world that give an epic experience of trekking. Pakistan is famous for having the densest collection of 8000m peaks. There are a total of four mountain peaks that are over the height of 8000m. Also, the mountain peaks with a height of 7000m are endless.
Four out of seven longest glaciers are in Pakistan
There are numerous reasons to love Pakistan but one of them is the scenic beauty of Pakistan. There are a total of seven longest glaciers in the world, out of which four are located in the Karakoram range of Pakistan. These glaciers include Siachen, Batura, Baltaro, and Biafo. The four glaciers are massive in size as they encompass valleys, peaks, and also rivers inside of them. These are definitely a sight to watch. Although, these glaciers provide scenic views from a distance one only realizes their massive size when they walk close to them!
Indus Valley is one of the most ancient civilizations
In ancient times, there were only a few areas that survived. These were as a result of the fertile lands which provided people sufficient water and resources to thrive. These include River Nile and Mesopotamia. These are the prominent names that come to mind but did you know the Indus River was also among the ancient cradles of civilization? It was because of the Indus River that a huge number of people were able to survive. The ruins of Mohenjodaro are proof of this. Moreover, it should also be noted that Pakistan has the world’s largest continuous irrigation system and this is only because of the Indus River.
Karakoram Highway: The Highest Paved Road in the World
Karakoram Highway is one of the most epic spots located in Pakistan. It is the highest paved road in the world. Not only this, but the highway also shares the world’s highest border with China. Other than this, it cannot be ignored that the highway holds the world’s highest ATM machine. Who knew you could find an ATM machine in the highest mountains! There are numerous titles attached to the picture-perfect road that makes us immediately want to visit the place.
Lahore was the capital of the Mughal Empire
The Pakistan Resolution was signed in Lahore and that is why it was originally known as Lahore Resolution. However, this is not the only reason the city is famous. Lahore was also the capital of the Mughal Empire. Mughals were originally based in the region that later came to be known as Pakistan. These Mughals later took over India and ruled for hundreds of years. Lahore was the capital of the Mughal Empire for a period of time and during that period, major developments were made. Many of the famous buildings in Lahore located in Old (Androon) Lahore such as Badshahi Mosque, Wazir Khan Mosque, and Lahore Fort were all made by the Mughals.
Over 74 languages spoken in Pakistan
Pakistan is a diverse country that encompasses people of different religions and cultures. It is a home of culturally diverse people with extremely variable languages. Urdu is the official language of the country but there are over 74 languages spoken in Pakistan. From Punjabi, Pashto, Sindhi, Balochi, Saraiki, and English, there are numerous other languages that are spoken in Pakistan. The people of the country are usually fluent in three languages.
Hub of Soccer
Pakistan is always praised for its beauty and the magnificent travel destinations that it possesses but did you know it manufactures more than half of the world’s soccer balls? More than half of the soccer balls that are used in the world are manufactured in Sialkot which is a city located in the north of Pakistan. It is one of the key supporters of the economy of the country as it is a massive producer of sports equipment. Along with the soccer balls, the city is also responsible for manufacturing half of the footballs used in the world.
Benazir Bhutto: First Female Leader in a Muslim Nation
Despite the challenges faced by the determined leader, Benazir Bhutto was the first female leader to be elected in a Muslim nation. She was a powerful, influential woman who was able to make her space in a male-dominated society. She was seen as an inspiration for a lot of countries as she fulfilled her responsibilities dutifully and allowed Pakistan to connect with the outside world at various levels. In 2007, the gallant leader was assassinated in Rawalpindi.
Country of Sufi Shrines
Sufism holds significance in Islam as the Sufis develop a personal experience with God. The country is full of hundreds of Sufi Shrines. Some are big while some are developed at a large scale. These are primarily located in Punjab and Sindh. These shrines usually consist of the remains of notable scholars. Thursday is a special day when these shrines lit up. The larger ones also arrange dhamaal which is a meditative dance. It is a whole experience at the shrines that one must do once in their life.

MH370: New satellite photos show objects on water near potential crash site
(CNN)Newly-discovered satellite photos may have given scientists a fresh clue as to the location of Malaysian Airlines 370, one of the world's most famous aviation mysteries. The four satellite photos, shot less than a month after MH370 disappeared in 2014, show 70 objects drifting on the ocean in the vicinity of the predicted crash zone, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said Wednesday. "(Geoscience Australia) analysis classified 12 objects as 'probably man-made' ... but cannot determine whether they are aircraft debris," the report said. The photos were taken by the French military over the Indian Ocean on 23rd March 2014, just over two weeks after the plane vanished. The ATSB, which received the images in March this year, said the satellite images were re-analyzed as "part of a systemic process of review that commenced in 2016." "The ATSB had to negotiate the release of the native resolution imagery from the French Ministry of Defense," a spokesman told CNN. Treat with caution The images were shot in an area to the west of the original search zone, where scientists said in December MH370 might be located. David Griffin, a physical oceanographer at Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) who helped analyze the pictures, said the photos could help pinpoint MH370's location to an "unprecedented" degree -- if they're actually showing plane debris. "It hangs on the impossible thing to know which is whether these were actual pieces of the plane," he told CNN. In a statement released along with the new photos, ATSB chief commissioner Greg Hood said they should be treated with caution. "The image resolution is not high enough to be certain whether the objects originated from MH370 or are other objects that might be found floating in oceans around the world," he said. Greatest aviation mystery? Malaysian Airline 370 departed from Kuala Lumpur in the early morning of March 8th, heading towards Beijing on a routine journey. Within hours it had stopped communicating, then vanished from radar after it made an unexpected turn to the west. There were 227 passengers and 12 crew on board when it disappeared. It has never been confirmed what happened to the aircraft after that, although the search for the plane has centered on the seas off the western coast of Australia. Debris confirmed to be from the missing aircraft has washed up along the eastern coast of Africa on multiple occasions in the past two years. In addition, analysis of the last satellite readings from the missing plane showed it was spiraling fast towards the sea when it stopped transmitting. Australian, Malaysian and Chinese governments called off the search for MH370 in January 2017. Despite that, relatives of the missing passengers, who were mainly Chinese, have refused to give up on the missing airliner and have said they are planning to continue the search through a private company. Photos provided by French military The four images were provided to Australian authorities by the French military for analysis on 2 March, three years after they were taken. They were captured by France's Airbus PLEIADES satellite in an area which was not covered as part of the initial underwater search, according to the ATSB. It is, however, in a location where scientists said earlier this year the missing plane could be found. In their new analysis released in December 2016, Australian scientists including Griffin suggested a new search area between 33 and 36 degree latitude. According to Griffin, the new information would indicate the plane could be located at 35.6 degrees latitude, 92.8 degrees longitude, consistent with their previous suggested area. "We've already chosen an area where we think the plane was likely to have crashed, the proposed new search area" Griffin told CNN. "So let's make a prediction, if you're right, and that's where the plane crashed, if we had a close look at the ocean ... and saw no strange images we'd think 'Oh gee we're wrong' (but) indeed we looked at the images and saw all these strange objects,"said Griffin. "It's not conclusive but it's the best you could hope for." The official search effort would be continued if "credible" new evidence was found, Australia's transport minister Darren Chester said in January.

Testing the Test: A Comparative Study of Marine Microbial Corrosion under Laboratory and Field Conditions
Revista : ACS OMEGA
Tipo de publicación : ISI Ir a publicación
Abstract
Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) is an aggressive type of corrosion that occurs in aquatic environments and is sparked by the development of a complex biological matrix over a metal surface. In marine environments, MIC is exacerbated by the frequent variability in environmental conditions and the typically high diversity of microbial communities; hence, local and in situ studies are crucial to improve our understanding of biofilm composition, biological interactions among its members, MIC characteristics, and corrosivity. Typically, material performance and anticorrosion strategies are evaluated under controlled laboratory conditions, where natural fluctuations and gradients (e.g., light, temperature, and microbial composition) are not effectively replicated. To determine whether MIC development and material deterioration observed in the laboratory are comparable to those that occur under service conditions (i.e., field conditions), we used two testing setups, in the lab and in the field. Stainless steel (SS) AISI 316L coupons were exposed to southeastern Pacific seawater for 70 days using (i) acrylic tanks in a running seawater laboratory and (ii) an offshore mooring system with experimental frames immersed at two depths (5 and 15 m). Results of electrochemical evaluation, together with those of microbial community analyses and micrographs of formed biofilms, demonstrated that the laboratory setup provides critical information on the early biofilm development process (days), but the information gathered does not predict deterioration or biofouling of SS surfaces exposed to natural conditions in the field. Our results highlight the need to conduct further research efforts to understand how laboratory experiments may better reproduce field conditions where applications are to be deployed, as well as to improve our understanding of the role of eukaryotes and the flux of nutrients and oxygen in marine MIC events.

Commercials Hurling Club (Na Tráchtálaí) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in Rathcoole, County Dublin, Ireland. One of the oldest continuous GAA clubs in the country, Commercials Hurling Club was founded 1886, just two years after the formation of the G.A.A. Commercials was formed by the many country bar and shop workers living and working in Dublin at the time who wished to continue playing hurling. They first played their matches in Dublin City. Like many clubs of the time Faughs and Metropolitans they trained and played matches in the Phoenix Park.
Early History The early years were spectacularly successful with Commercials winning 5 Dublin Championships in a row from 1895-1899, a feat which stood the test of time for over 100 years and only matched in 2011 by Ballyboden St. Enda's. Commercials success continued at the turn of the century with 4 more Senior Titles in 1905, 1907, 1909 and lastly in the historic year of 1916. Commercials still are actually 3rd on the Dublin Senior Championship Roll on Honour with those 9 titles.
The Tipperary Hurler This painting is based on a sketch made by the artist at Croke Park, of Tipperary man and former hurler John-Joe Hayes from the townsland of Ballerk, near Thurles Town, Co.Tipperary. John Joe is depicted in the portrait wearing the jersey of the Commercials Hurling Club (CHC), which was founded in 1886 by young hurling lovers from the midlands of Ireland who had moved to find work in the many bars and shops of Dublin city.
Move To Rathcoole In the early 70's the Club sought to put down roots in the expanding Dublin suburbs. They founded clubgrounds at Collegeland, Rathcoole which was owned by The Sheilds Family.
Extracts from the Secretary's report of 1979 stated "good progress was made on the grounds in Rathcoole and we finally took over the grounds on a legal agreement between the Solicitors. We opened a Juvenile Pitch and had for September, October and November, 50 juveniles training every Saturday under the watchful eye of Mr. Walsh, Mr. Ring and Mr. Ryan and many others in Rathcoole. We planeed and laid out the senior pitch and much work was done by various contractors. We will have much to do but hope to have it ready for playng by April/May" The Secretary's report from 1980 stated that "patience has paid off as it has turned out to be one of the finest playing surfaces in Leinster"
New Beginnings With the move to Rathcoole the Juvenile Club began to blossom which eventually provided adult players and very successful teams, competing at the highest level in Dublin winning championships and staying Senior from 1991-2009. A lot of players represented Dublin at Senior level, Sean Power held full back position and even captained Dublin for a period during this time as well as representing Leinster and Ireland in the Shinty-Hurling International Series. Other Commercials players who represented Dublin include John Finnegan, John Morris, Neil Fleming, John Daly, Connie Ring, Shane Cooke and Gearóid Keogh
In November 2016 of Commercials was voted the “Best Juvenile Hurling Club” in Dublin for 2016 by Friends of Dublin Hurling. This was a huge achievement that represented all the efforts and contributions by committees and team mentors.

Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester
, KG, PC (24 June 1532 – 4 September 1588) was an English statesman and the favourite of Elizabeth I from her accession until his death. He was a suitor for the queen's hand for many years.
Leicester's private life interfered with his court career and vice versa. When his first wife, Amy Robsart, fell down a flight of stairs and died in 1560, he was free to marry the queen. However, the resulting scandal very much reduced his chances in this respect. Popular rumours that he had arranged for his wife's death continued throughout his life, despite the coroner's jury's verdict of accident. For 18 years he did not remarry for Queen Elizabeth's sake and when he finally did, his new wife, Lettice Knollys, was permanently banished from court. This and the death of his only legitimate son and heir were heavy blows. Shortly after the child's death in 1584, a virulent libel known as Leicester's Commonwealth was circulated in England. It laid the foundation of a literary and historiographical tradition that often depicted Leicester as the Machiavellian "master courtier" and as a deplorable figure around Elizabeth I. More recent research has led to a reassessment of his place in Elizabethan government and society.

During our Maths games, some of us have been talking about doubles. We played a game with the Numicon where we had 2 pieces the same and worked out the total. We also used our fingers to show them, especially double 5 as that is easy: it makes 10! Using Numicon is great for helping us visualise numbers so if we know the shape the 4, we quickly realise that 2+2=4 because it makes the same shape. We also noticed it got a bit harder as the numbers were bigger and we were less familiar with the shape of them.
“There’s two of them.”
“Double means two of the same amount.”
“It’s the same.”
“That’s easy! 1 + 1 makes 2.”
“Ohhh, that’s a hard one.”

Continuing the series in which Newsline looks into the lives of people who make the difference - or dare to be different.
By Samina Ibrahim
He commissioned his first painting when he was 10 years old and bought his first Sadequain when he was 19. He speaks fluent Mandarin, is culturally obsessed with China, Japan, Italy, India and all things Sindhi. He has a formidable collection of Pakistani art, colonial images of the subcontinent, shawls, carpets, sea shells and a library spilling over with 40,000 books. He was 28 when he stepped into the publishing world as director administration for the Dawn group and 30 when he became CEO. One of the moving forces behind the restoration of both the Mohatta Palace and the Hindu Gymkhana, he co-curated perhaps the most significant art exhibition in the history of Pakistan - 'Sadequain - The Holy Sinner.' And now, a year later, is publishing perhaps the finest art book ever to come out of Pakistan.
Together with Hameed Akhund he has worked tirelessly to promote Sindh's sufi heritage, is deeply involved in breeding and rehabilitating Sindh's wildlife and is responsible for the herds of deer that now run through Karachi's Safari Park.
His abiding passion for the last 10 years has been Gedrosia, his estate in Gadani where he spends every weekend and where he has done something never done before: planting date-palm orchards using brackish water. Gedrosia is the only example of this on the entire Pakistan coastline. He puts in a hectic eight or nine hours at work, devotes his evenings and nights to a host of eclectic projects and dreams of going to the Taklamakan desert some day.
It's no surprise then, that Hameed Haroon's day begins with his blood-pressure medication! Then it's reading Dawn and its competition over his morning tea on the balcony with its magnificent Thatta-tiled archway.
For most, the stresses of heading and running one of the largest publishing houses in the country for the last 20 years would be enough of an achievement - but it's fairly obvious that, as Hameed himself aptly puts it, he's "not just another publisher with a fancy surname who uses that to get things done. Actually it's a lot of hard work, most of it done on my own time." Hameed's efforts outside the Dawn building in promoting art, culture, music, restoration, preserving Sindh's environment and wildlife and supporting organ transplants are perhaps the achievements closest to his heart.
While others would work on one project at a time, Hameed works on three or four. The Sadequain book, due to be launched in mid-August, took one year of working through the night, almost every night, and left even the seemingly invincible Hameed on the verge of collapse. But today, five months and a serious car accident later, Hameed has already moved on to his next three projects: creating a photo archive and exhibition of Lt. Col. Robert Southey's images of Balochistan from 1880-1911; the Nurjehan project which entails compiling around 10 volumes with a total of 60 CDs, accompanied by song books, translations, images and biographies of the songwriters and directors who influenced a whole generation. The CDs will include some extremely rare recordings, including Sindhi kafis. "The idea is to improve recording quality and preserve the history of the music of the era," says Hameed. "Dawn and the Times of India have both expressed an interest to jointly sponsor this production." Following on from 'The Holy Sinner' exhibition and book, is a series of educational documentaries about Sadequain's art vision in Urdu and English as well as a documentary on Sadequain, "which I would like to enter at the Cannes Film Festival." Also, in the pipeline is a project to take the State Bank's Sadequain paintings and murals, restored to their pristine glory, with Sadequain's other Paris period work to exhibit in Paris. Hameed is also working with State Bank Governor, Ishrat Hussain, to turn the old wing of the State Bank building into an art gallery, to house Sadequain's work along with the bank's other art treasures.
Hameed's favourite time of the day is the "first solitude of the night after dinner." He either reads or listens to music in his library with its amazing 200-year-old carved beams and doors and painted ceiling, juxtaposed with a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired blue stained glass window set in his ruby-red dining area that is home to some of his vast collection of subcontinental and Tibetan art and antique religious statues from the Phillipines. Often, the library is darkened and as the moonlight streams in through the high Florentine-inspired blue stained glass ucelli, Hameed listens to live performances by Sindh's maestros of music into the early hours of the morning. Most nights, however, are spent reading, and needless to say, it's never just one book. "I have a pile at my bedside and I read from four or five every night. I don't want to assimilate all of Ottoman history in one go! Living in Pakistan I have developed a book-famine mentality and when I see a book that I think I might want to read, I buy it. I probably won't get around to reading it for two years, but at least I know I have it." Though Hameed's library is his haven in Karachi, his heart belongs to Gedrosia. "Sunset in Gedrosia on a Saturday always seems better than one on a Sunday," says Hameed. "I still haven't shaken off the school-boy fear of Mondays!" And it is when he stands on the cliffs with the monsoon waves beating and dancing on the rocks, or perhaps listening to Sufi musicians, that he is most at peace with himself. But like everything else Hameed does, Gedrosia too is not just his weekend retreat alone. It has it's own deeper reason. The Makran coast was known as Gedrosia when Alexander marched through Gwadar. Determined to preserve the cultural heritage of the area, Hameed plans on bringing back its Greek spirit and Gedrosia's symbol is the winged griffin, the legendary Greek counterpart to the urial. And by the 67-foot-square pool will eventually stand two bronze statues of Alexander and Niarchos commissioned from Shahid Sajjad. The other leit-motif that runs through Gedrosia is the euphorbia lactea, the Gadani cactus, and its link with Sadequain's art in which the Gadani cactus was used to symbolise an entirely new religious and artistic vocabulary. "For Sadequain, the myriad forms of the Gadani cactus became the vocabulary and sinews of a new vision which provided Pakistani art with its most dynamic form." With his deep commitment to the conservation of the wildlife of the Kirthar range, Hameed's dream is to set up an animal sanctuary at Gedrosia. "Wherever I may be in the world, spiritually, my day begins and ends at Gedrosia." The end view is to perhaps live there and write and build a heritage site dedicated to Sadequain and the aftermath of the Greek invasion. There are none of the expected trappings of luxury in Hameed's life. He drives a Suzuki pick-up, wears a simple latha shalwar kameez, but surrounds himself with beautiful and rare objects and paintings, making him one of Pakistan's most important art collectors. One day his treasures will be housed in a museum dedicated to his parents. "I don't want my collection to be turned into heirlooms, which one day, someone might sell to buy Armani suits, diamonds and Mercedes. I want them to survive towards a meaningful purpose." Certain events have touched Hameed and changed him in very significant ways. The first was a traumatic one-and-a-half-year span around 10 years ago, when he lost three of his dearest friends. "Their deaths left me impoverished and changed how I thought about so many things. As one grows older, one sees death and fears it for the ones we love, and accepts it as the inevitable for oneself." His mother's stroke was another turning point in his life and the third was his car accident earlier this year. "When I was young I thought I would make it at 30 and be dead by 50. As it happens, I almost did die in that car accident. And that was when I asked myself what did I have to show for how I had lived my life. And the answer was, very little. I have contributed a lot of footnotes, but it would have been nice to have been part of the mainstream," says a man who has already accomplished more than most. But Hameed still has many promises to keep...

StarGaze
StarGaze was an annual charity event that was promoted by Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly from 1992 to 1995.
Format
StarGaze was originally conceived after Jim Kelly held a million-dollar football toss as part of his private Jim Kelly Celebrity Classic golf tournament, and it was decided to open the football toss portion of the weekend to the public. Kelly started the golf tournament at East Aurora Country Club in 1987 to raise money for his Kelly for Kids Foundation, and all proceeds from StarGaze went towards the organization.
The public events beginning in 1992 featured an All-Star Softball Game, Home Run Derby, and finished with the Million Dollar Shootout.
The object of the Shootout was to throw a football 30 yards into a hole two inches larger than the width of the ball, with the winner splitting $1,000,000 between themselves and the charity of their choice. No celebrity won the $1,000,000 in the history of the events. However, for the final public event in 1995, the Shootout was changed to a 20-yard throw for a trip to Australia. Nate Turner successfully completed the 20-yard throw and won the trip.
Kelly continued hosting his annual celebrity golf tournament at East Aurora Country Club, and in 2006 it moved to Terry Hills Golf Course in Batavia, NY.

Are you a sugar junkie? You could be. According to Harvard University nutrition professor Dr. David Ludwig, certain sugary foods trigger a reaction in the same area of the brain as cocaine and heroin. And Dr. Ludwig’s research shows that it’s not just foods we typically think of as sweet and sugary.
The foods that trigger that reaction have a high glycemic index, which cause a quick spike in blood sugar, lighting up our brain’s addiction center like a Christmas tree. And a lot of foods that aren’t even sweet contain a surprising amount of sugar. For example, white potatoes and anything made with refined flour, like bread and pasta, have a larger impact on blood glucose levels than eating straight table sugar. Plus some spaghetti sauces contain more sugar than cookies, and flavored yogurt can have more sugar than a can of soda. In fact, there’s so much hidden sugar in processed foods that we consume 14 times MORE sugar than our great-grandparents did.
Ready to kick the sugar habit? You can start by swapping sugary desserts for naturally-sweet fruit. And start diluting sweet drinks, like fruit juice and soda, with seltzer water. Gradually add more seltzer until you don’t even miss your sugary drinks. If you’d like to go further, check out the website EndSugarAddiction.com.

How do I sort parent rows without changing child rows?
In my sheet, each parent row is a different employee. Each employee has child rows for each month of the year and a YTD row that contains KPI data for each moth. When entering in data, it is helpful for me to sort the parent rows by employee names and then switch to sorting by employee numbers, based on where I am sourcing the data. When I sort the parent rows, I find that the month child rows change order messing up the chronological order in our dashboard that is connected to the sheet and the formulas for the YTD rows.
How do I sort the parent rows without changing the order of the child rows?

Create a field called sort, and put this formula in it:
=IF(COUNT(ANCESTORS([Primary Column]@row)) = 0, [Primary Column]@row)
If you have a date column, you can use this formula to force the children into date sort order also:
=IF(COUNT(ANCESTORS([Primary Column]@row)) = 0, [Primary Column]@row, IF(Sort@row = 1, YEAR([Date Field]@row) + RIGHT(("00" + MONTH([Date Field]@row)), 2) + RIGHT(("00" + DAY([Date Field]@row)), 2)))

Introduction: Make a Speaker Inside a 9V Battery
There are a lot of instructables stating how to make a speaker. Those speaker can be as tall as you and can be as small as your palm. But can you ever imagine that you can make a speaker inside a 9V battery. I know that it sounds weird but it's actually possible. You can make a speaker with decent amount of loudness and intensity inside a 9V battery. The idea of making this tiny speaker came to me from a bunch of old batteries. I had a bunch of old dead batteries lying around and was trying to use them in some way or the other but finally ended up with throwing them in the trash. I took a 9V battery and started thinking what could I make with this thing. Suddenly I got an idea of making a speaker with a 9V battery and rather power the speaker with the battery, I decided to make a speaker inside the battery. Since I had all the required materials and tool, I started making the speaker.
So let me tell you a little about this speaker or battery or battery speaker or ???? You decide what you want to call it. This speaker has a PAM8403 amplifier board. Those board cost around $2 and are really efficient in amplifying the sound. Making a DIY amplifier would not be a good idea as there is not much space inside a 9V battery to fit in those heavy amplifier ICs. The speaker used by me is an old mobile phone speaker. You can get those in mobile phone shops as well as in ordinary speaker shops. Coming upon the connectivity, this speaker connects to your phone using a AUX cable. I was not able to hook up a Bluetooth module inside that tiny beast. You have to power this speaker from an external power supply. I used those connector to supply power through which we used to drain energy from our 9V battery earlier. The voltage on which amplifier board works the best is 5V. But you can also use 3.7V lithium ion cell to power the speaker as I did. The speaker sound great and looks cute too. You can show it to your friends and colleagues and they will definitely be astonished after seeing this speaker.
Here is a 6 min video on how to make a speaker inside a 9V battery:
I am starting a new Youtube channel, so guys please support me by liking the video and subscribing to my channel. At the end of the video, you can watch the speaker working.
Step 1: Gather Parts
So here is the part list. This project requires very less items to build so you need not to worry about the expenses:
PARTS:
• An old 9V battery
• A small amplifier(I used PAM8403)
• A small speaker(Can take out speaker of old mobile phones)
• Female audio jack
• A 5V power supply
• Wires
• AUX cable
TOOLS:
• Soldering iron
• Dremel with necessary bits
• Hot glue gun
Step 2: Disassembling the Battery and Marking the Speaker Holes
We'er gonna start by disassembling the 9V battery or more appropriately opening the battery. You need to get all the stuff out of the battery. The chemical occupying most of the space should be take out. We only gonna need the outer covering of the battery, upper connector and the bottom plate. Start by taking a sharp knife or a screwdriver. Make sure to be safe while using the knife. With the knife open the uncurl the curled part of the metal holding the down plate. You can use a plier also. Make sure you don't break to bottom plate. After you are done, apply some pressure on the connector plates and the chemical of the battery wrapped in plastic foil should come out. Pull it out and throw it in garbage. Use plier to fix the body of the battery.
Now take your speaker and using a marker, mark its outlines on the body of the battery. Make sure you use a permanent marker otherwise your marked outlines would fade away and it will be difficult for you to cut the metal body. Using a dremel cutting tool, cut the body precisely. I found that my dremel tool was not much efficient in cutting the body so I used sharp knife to cut it which worked awesome. At last I used metal sheet cutter for a better detailing. After cutting is done, use a sanding drill to make the hole look better. You can easily tell by looking at the images that I am not good in sanding but that much sanding worked fine for me.
Step 3: Connecting Speaker to Amplifier Module
As you guys can see I used a ready-made module for this project. First I though to make a Amplifier board for the speaker but then I realized that the ICs I will be using are too big as compared to a 9V battery and they along with capacitors would eat up all the space. I had this amplifier board lying around from a while which I purchased a couple of months ago for around $2 and found it to be a perfect match for my project. The performance of the amplifier board was awesome and it could easily fit in inside a 9V battery. Though this amplifier board can power up two speakers, I decided to use one speaker to save space.
Now lets get back to the project, start by connecting the 5V and ground of the amplifier to negative and positive of the 9V battery connector(the one that we took out in previous step) respectively. Further connections are listed below:
• Sleeves of female audio jack-----ground
• Ring of female audio jack-----Right input channel
• Tip of female audio jack-----Left input channel
• Negative of speaker-----ground
• Positive of speaker-----Positive of Left and Right output channel
Step 4: Fixing Everything Inside the Battery
Our circuitry is ready now and its time to fix everything inside the battery. The best way is to use hot glue but you can also use super-glue. The first thing which goes inside is the connector that we are using as the power input for the amplifier. Hook it on its place and hot glue. When I was sticking it with the battery case, it was again and again coming out of its place so what I did was, I pushed it to its place using my finger and quickly dropped few drop of hot glue on the outer part. Once it was fixed on its place, I applied adequate amount of hot glue to the inside body and the removed the hot glue was sticking outside.I know that it is bit confusing for you guys. Then pour some hot glue on the back of the amplifier board and quickly stick it inside. Don't forget to apply hot glue on the connection of the amplifier board so that they don't get shorted from the metal casing. The fix the speaker. As you guys can see, my speaker is popping out from the battery a little bit. This type of speaker arrangement has two disadvantages. One is that you can probably damage the speaker while using it and the other one is that the sound or audio you will be hearing would be faint so try to stick the speaker as deep in the casing as possible.
Now for the bottom part, you must be having that plate covering. But before we fix it, we would be drilling a hole in it for the female audio jack. Choose a drill bit which is of the size of your audio jack and drill a hole with it. Mount your audio jack using hot glue and finally apply the plate on the bottom part of the battery and completethe enclosure.
Step 5: Testing
This is the time to test our speaker and see whether it is working not. So start by connection the power supply to your speaker. By the way the amplifier of the speaker works on 5V so you should have a 5v power supply. In my case I used a 3.7V 3000mah li-ion battery which worked perfectly fine with the speaker. I connected a 9V battery clip to the cell to easily attach it to the speaker. According to our connections, the negative of the battery clip goes to positive of the cell and positive of the clip goes to negative of the cell. Connect the battery to the speaker and connect your speaker to your phone using a AUX cable. Play any random song from your mobile and speaker should work perfectly fine. You can control the volume of the speaker using your phone's volume rockers since we didn't attached an external volume controller to the speaker. I you want to check the audio quality of the speaker, watch this video. You can simply fat forward it and find a clipping at the end of working of the speaker.
Step 6: The End
Guys this is the end of this project. Hope you liked it. Show this battery to your friend and relative and have fun. Don't forget to follow me on instructable and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Here a link of the video. Please go and watch it. As always meet you next time. Happy making;)

Bookstack Version History
12 versions
Be careful with old versions!
These versions are displayed for reference and testing purposes. You should always use the latest version of an add-on.
Version 0.8.1 86.6 kB Works with Firefox 33.0a1 and later
Fixed checking the available rows before trying to select an empty row.
Improved how sidebar menu items are enabled/disabled based on the selection.
Version 0.8.0 86.7 kB Works with Firefox 33.0a1 and later
* Reworked to be a restartless add-on (including minor fixes).
* Moved preferences to add-on page.
* Moved the project to github. Added a readme.md for that.
Version 0.7.5 93.7 kB Works with Firefox 16.0a1 and later
* Fix sidebar context menu commands not enabling/disabling correctly.
Version 0.7.4 93.7 kB Works with Firefox 16.0a1 and later
* Fix preference lookup bug (caused major loss of functionality).
Version 0.7.2 93.2 kB Works with Firefox 13.0a1 and later
Fixed a call to treeview function via map; needed to bind it to the right tree.
Version 0.7.1 93.2 kB Works with Firefox 13.0a1 and later
* Stop using GUID to track the bookstack folder. Hopefully this will come
come back, as without it Bookstack doesn't play as nicely with Sync and other
similar services.
* Update Livemark-aware functions to use the new asynchronous service.
* Add creation of Bookmarks, Folders, and Separators to sidebar context.
* Rework "Add all tabs to stack" to allow an in-folder add via Shift key.
Version 0.7.0 92.2 kB Works with Firefox 4.0 and later
* Dropped support for Fx<4.
* Reorder context menu to match bookmarks sidebar's more closely.
* Made unuseful context menu items disabled rather than hidden.
* Use a real tree for sidebar.
* Add cut and paste abilities.
* Removed per-button mouse settings and updated preferences dialog.
* Eliminate trash folder to allow migration to tree-based sidebar.
* Make opened item information stick to the tab for retrieval if cancelled.
This allows discovering removed item in case of user-cancelled loading.
* Added popup notifications with CSS animation as feedback for adding items.
They simply show the animated anchor icon, no actual popups, so no item
property editing occurs via the notifications.
* Added shift variants for adding to stack to allow immediate editing:
Shift+[ctrl]+middle-click on a link
Shift+click on menu items (tab menu, content context menu)
* Made pop (Alt+C) move the item to the bottom if it's not removed.
This makes that action useful when the Stack is set not to remove items.
* Fixed erroneous focusing of sidebar on application blur.
* Fixed "Add this page" item in content area context menu when it was already
in the stack.
* Linux: Added icons to context menu items (for sidebar and content area).
I don't believe the other platforms use icons in those spots, but if they
do I will add them there too.
* Use several more of the browser's own strings for localization.
* Made removing the current page from the stack take place in a batch.
* Migrated to using showBookmarkDialog for editing bookmarks.
* Cleaned this document and renamed it to NEWS.
* Removed .jar packing for chrome.
Version 0.6.4 104.4 kB Works with Firefox 3.5 and later
Changes in 0.6.4:
* Added Swedish (sv-SE) locale, thanks to Lakrits!
* Fixed bugs in adding tab context menu, middle-click listener for multiple windows.
* Added a max-height to the stack selection popup.
* Changed sidebar to use iconic listcells (uses CSS to apply default favicons).
* Made livemarks consistent with other sidebars (no underline; regular pointer).
* Switched sort direction to use a menu popup.
* Will now install the toolbar button to addon bar (only on first install).
* Update buttons for Fx<4 on OSX; they won't fit in the smallest sidebar,
but look better.
* Use image sprite for all sidebar toolbar buttons.
* Update settings window size.
* Minor refactoring.
* Updated maxversion to include Firefox 6a1.
This will be the last version of Bookstack to support Fx<4.
* Minor changes to make AMO validation happier.
Version 0.6.3 94.2 kB Works with Firefox 3.5 and later
Changes in 0.6.3:
* Fix loading bug that could cause context menu problems for other extensions and Bookstack.
Thanks to Mr. Klene for the report and assistance to reproduce!
* Removed unnecessary console (dump()) output.
* Made context menu item elements default to visible.
* Minor refactoring.
* Transitioned preferences to use more modern design via xul:prefwindow.
* Added icons for preferences panes.
Thanks to the BlankOn icon theme for the icons used for the preference panes.
* Added ability to copy multiple items to clipboard.
Version 0.6.2 90.1 kB Works with Firefox 3.5 and later
Changes in 0.6.2:
* Fix minor bug with Move To menu generator (use simple menuitem for stack menu
when the only child folder is the trash).
* Fix how the sidebar item labels' width are determined (takes scrollbar width
into account).
* Fix context menu display coordinates when triggered by mouse.
* Fix ability to trigger context menu via keyboard.

* Updated Drag and Drop to support multi-item drag out (or within) stack.
* Reworked Drag and Drop to be a fuller implementation (can drag tabs again).
* Disabled drop for dragging into (or within) a sorted stack.
* Removed persistent sorting (reopening sidebar will restore natural ordering).
* Firefox 4: "Add all tabs to stack" will only add visible tabs.
* Migrated notifications to the Alert Service (uses platform-native alerts).
* Modified notifications to be observer-based instead of manual.
* Added visible item count when searching (x in x / y items in Stack).
* Fixed empty search causing separators not to be displayed.

( 13 ) of the afterwards ſuch as upon re-examination are found exceptionable.
The traders frequently beat thoſe negroes which are objected to by the captains, and uſe them with great ſeverity. It matters not whether they are refuſed on account of age, illneſs, deformity, or for any other reaſon. At New Calabar, in particular, the traders have frequently been known to put them to death. Inſtances have happened at that place, that the traders, when any of their negroes have been objected to, have dropped their canoes under the ſtern of the veſſel, and inſtantly beheaded them, in ſight of the captain.
Upon the Windward Coaſt, another mode of procuring ſlaves is purſued; which is, by what they term boating; a mode that is very pernicious and deſtructive to the crews of the ſhips. The ſailors, who are employed upon this trade go in boats up the rivers, ſeeking for negroes, among the villages ſeated on the banks of them: but this method is very ſlow, and not always effectual; for, after being abſent from the ſhip during a fortnight or three weeks, they ſometimes return with only from eight to twelve negroes. Numbers of theſe are procured in conſequence of alleged crimes, which, as before obſerved, whenever any ſhips are upon the coaſt, are more productive than at any other period. Kidnapping, however, prevailes here.

Is it better to have staggered wheels?
Having staggered wheels or running wider wheels on the drive wheels means more grip on acceleration and from an aesthetic perspective, larger lips. A staggered fitment can also mean larger diameter wheels on rear, for example a 17″ diameter on the front and 18″ diameter on rear.
What rims fit Lexus is250?
The wheels on this Lexus IS 250 are the 18×9 +36 XXR 530D wheels in both the front and the rear for a square setup.
Why do Lexus have staggered wheels?
Staggered wheels allow wider rear tires. For rear wheel drive vehicles, the more rubber you can put on the street surface the better traction you will have off the line. Another reason is looks. A lot of people really like the wider tire foot print in the rear.
Can you run staggered on AWD?
Overall it’s a bit of a tricky matter to run staggered on an AWD vehicle but with knowledge, it is possible and a lot of enthusiasts do it.
Is it illegal to have two tyres?
Mixing different tread patterns across the same axle is not allowed. The identical tyre model and tread pattern must be fitted for a single axle. You can, however, use different tyres on a separate axle – just as long as they too match each other.
What lug pattern is a Lexus is250?
Finance your Lexus Wheels
YEAR MAKE COMMENTS
2010 Lexus 5 lug 4.5 inch or 114.3mm High Positive Offset
2011 Lexus 5 lug 4.5 inch or 114.3mm High Positive Offset
2012 Lexus 5 lug 4.5 inch or 114.3mm High Positive Offset
2013 Lexus 5 lug 4.5 inch or 114.3mm High Positive Offset
Can staggered tires be rotated?
Can the tires on a staggered setup be rotated? Yes, but only the tires on the same axle can be swapped. For example, the two rear tires will need to swap places straight across, as do the front ones. It only works if the tires are not directional.

What Is CNC Programming And Metal Turning Skills To Manufacture?
metal turning
CNC refers to the computer numerical control, CNC is responsible to maintain and regulate the automation of machine tools. The machine tools used for various fabrication purposes need to be designed in the specified way so that they can perform the required operation in an effective manner. CNC controls the various types of machinery tools including drill presses, screw machines, and lathes. The various machine tools controlled by CNC are used to cut the metal components to give a more précised and decorative look as required. While operating on the various metal components, the machine tools need to be adjusted on the accurate dimensional scales, and this is possible only through the CNC turning and CNC milling.
What Is CNC Programming And Metal Turning Skills To Manufacture?
What is CNC Turning?
As the name suggests, the CNC turning is the procedure followed by the tool through which the metal cutting is carried on while turning the material to be cut parallel to the machinery. The material, be it plastic or metal is placed parallel to the cutting tool and it is rotated in a circular motion at varying speed. The cutting tool passes through the 2 axis motion and it makes the necessary cuts with exact dimensions on which the machinery is set. The CNC turning process creates a different end product totally. CNC turning is an automated process through which tubular shape could also be provided to the material both from the outer side and the inner side as well. This automated process has made metal cutting a more convenient and accurate procedure where the results achieved are more precise compared to hand cutting procedures.
Understand the Procedure Involved in the CNC Mechanism
The larger pieces of metal materials are given a tubular shape with the help of CNC turning process. The mechanism is used to generate holes in the solid materials like metal or plastic etc. CNC programming and metal turning skills to manufacture could be acquired through proper training programs that specialize in providing expertise to deal with CNC mechanism. The individuals can opt for a two year degree program offered by various specialized tech schools. More than theoretical training, there is a need for practical training with the CNC tools and machinery. The training process includes exercised based on CNC knowledge, interactive laboratory sessions, video training for better understanding of the mechanism used by the machinery. The trainees are made to engage with replica machineries through which they can have an experience that is next to the real life challenges in the said field.
Take a Look at the Career Options
CNC programming and metal turning skills to manufacture could be demarcated as an expertise in two different field of CNC operations. The first field could be termed as the core mechanical field where the core working with the machinery is operated by the machine operator that takes charge of loading and unloading the various work pieces on the machinery, monitoring the entire process and inspecting the finished material generated from the machine. The second field is the management of input and output generated from the process. The CNC manager keeps surveillance on the effectiveness of the CNC procedure and operation performed in the shop, and handles the personnel performing work related to the machinery. The manager should have well versed knowledge related to the machinery and the procedure so that he can guide and lead good management in the work area.
To work as a CNC manager or trainer, a minimum of a bachelor degree is required in the same field. The career as a CNC professional could provide great heights to the individuals. Take the necessary training and education in renowned tech institution and move your career ahead in this field.

Clinton rips Trump's tax plan in speech on the economy
Hillary Clinton set up a stark contrast Thursday between her tax plan and Donald Trump’s, portraying her Republican rival’s proposal as one that would benefit millionaires, big companies and Wall Street. At the same time, Clinton — in a speech in Warren Michigan — touted her own tax plan and other economic proposals as a boon to the middle class. “When it comes to creating jobs, I would argue that it’s not even close,” Clinton said. “Even conservative experts say Trump’s agenda will pull our economy back into recession.” Clinton delivered a broad but forceful rebuke of Trump’s temperament and policies in a 50-plus minute speech in which she went into detail about a number of her own policies and proposals while also knocking Trump for only having something to offer the wealthiest Americans. Taxes have so far been a secondary issue in the campaign. But Trump made his tax cut proposal a central point of an economic address he delivered in Detroit on Monday. By Clinton’s account, the real estate mogul spoke only of “failure, poverty and crime,” refusing to acknowledge the bright spots throughout Michigan that she addressed, including Ann Arbor, Houghton and Futuramic Tool & Engineering, where she spoke. “None of us can be satisfied until the economic revitalization we’re seeing in some parts of Michigan reaches every community, but it is inspiring to see this combination of old-fashioned hard work and cutting-edge innovation,” she said. “And I know my opponent in this election was here in Michigan about a week ago and it was like he was in a different place... He is missing so much about what makes Michigan great, and the same is true when it comes to our country.” Clinton characterized Trump’s plan as one that would be destructive to the economy and benefit “people like himself.” Branding a tax loophole as the “Trump Loophole,” Clinton said Trump’s plan would allow him to pay a tax rate on his companies that’s less than half of the current figure. That figure, she added, would be a lower rate than millions of middle class families. Trump’s plan would cut the top tax rate to 33 percent. He proposed a 15 percent business rate that Clinton said would directly benefit Trump and his business empire. She also highlighted the estate tax that Trump has vowed to repeal. Clinton insisted Trump’s family would save $4 billion while all but the top .02 percent of Americans would get nothing. “Donald Trump wants to give trillions in tax breaks to people like himself,” she said. “I want to invest in our veterans, our kids, our police officers and so much more.” Clinton has proposed a number of tax increases targeting the wealthy, including three new minimum taxes, layered on top of the alternative minimum tax. She would use much of the revenue to pay for new spending initiatives, such as offering free college tuition. In Detroit, Trump said his plan “will offer the biggest tax revolution since the Reagan Tax Reform, which unleashed years of continued economic growth and job creation.” Clinton, however, argued that Trump has little to offer to everyday Americans. “Based on what we know from the Trump campaign, he wants America to work for him and his friends at the expense of everyone else. He’s offered no credible plans to address what working families are up against today,” Clinton said. All Trump offers is a “more extreme version of the failed theory of trickle-down economics with his own addition of outlandish, Trumpian ideas that even Republicans reject,” she continued. Clinton called for a president who “can provide serious, steady leadership that can find common ground and build on it based on hard but respectful bargaining with the other side,” such as herself. “Leadership that rises above personal attacks and name-calling, not revels in it,” she said. “I just don’t think insults and bullying is how we’re gonna get things done.”

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.
I have a folder with a lot of text files (almost 12k). I need to upload them all to a website that accepts .tar.gz uploads and then decompresses them automatically, but has a limit of 10MB (10000KB) per file (so in particular each file has to be decompressed on its own). If I tar.gz all these files the resulting file is of about 72MB.
What I would like to do is to create eight .tar.gz files, each of size / dimension (strictly) smaller than 10000KB.
Alternatively, one can assume that all the files above have approximately the same dimension, so I would like to create eight .tar.gz files with more or less the same amount of files each.
How can I do any of these two tasks?
I am perfectly fine with a solution that involves GUI, CLI or scripting. I am not looking for speed here, I just need it done.

• Presumably the 12k files you have will have patterns or repeated characters in their names. You could possibly tar them by adding all the files starting with a certain pattern until you have them all. This can be easily scripted but does not guarantee the size will be lower than 9MB as you need. You could, however, manually adjust the size of those files that are too large by splitting them further. – Juan Antonio Nov 6 '16 at 12:35

Totally patchwork and a quick, rough sketch as it is, but tested on a directory with 3000 files, the script below did an extremely fast job:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import subprocess
import os
import sys
splitinto = 2
dr = sys.argv[1]
os.chdir(dr)
files = os.listdir(dr)
n_files = len(files)
size = n_files // splitinto
def compress(tar, files):
command = ["tar", "-zcvf", "tarfile" + str(tar) + ".tar.gz", "-T", "-", "--null"]
proc = subprocess.Popen(command, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
with proc:
proc.stdin.write(b'\0'.join(map(str.encode, files)))
proc.stdin.write(b'\0')
if proc.returncode:
sys.exit(proc.returncode)
sub = []; tar = 1
for f in files:
sub.append(f)
if len(sub) == size:
compress(tar, sub)
sub = []; tar += 1
if sub:
# taking care of left
compress(tar, sub)
How to use
• Save it into an empty file as compress_split.py
• In the head section, set the number of files to compress into. In practice, there will always be one more to take care of the remaining few "left overs".
• Run it with the directory with your files as argument:
python3 /path/tocompress_split.py /directory/with/files/tocompress
numbered .tar.gz files will be created in the same directory as where the files are.
Explanation
The script:
• lists all files in the directory
• cd's into the directory to prevent adding the path info to the tar file
• reads through the file list, grouping them by the set division
• compresses the sub group(s) into numbered files
EDIT
Automatically create chunks by size in mb
More sophisticated is to use the max- size (in mb) of the chunks as a (second) argument. In the script below, the chunks are written into a compressed file as soon as the chunk reaches (passes) the threshold.
Since the script is triggered by the chunks, exceeding the threshold, this will only work if the size of (all) files is substantially smaller than the chunk size.
The script:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import subprocess
import os
import sys
dr = sys.argv[1]
chunksize = float(sys.argv[2])
os.chdir(dr)
files = os.listdir(dr)
n_files = len(files)
def compress(tar, files):
command = ["tar", "-zcvf", "tarfile" + str(tar) + ".tar.gz", "-T", "-", "--null"]
proc = subprocess.Popen(command, stdin=subprocess.PIPE)
with proc:
proc.stdin.write(b'\0'.join(map(str.encode, files)))
proc.stdin.write(b'\0')
if proc.returncode:
sys.exit(proc.returncode)
sub = []; tar = 1; subsize = 0
for f in files:
sub.append(f)
subsize = subsize + (os.path.getsize(f)/1000000)
if subsize >= chunksize:
compress(tar, sub)
sub = []; tar += 1; subsize = 0
if sub:
# taking care of left
compress(tar, sub)
To run:
python3 /path/tocompress_split.py /directory/with/files/tocompress chunksize
...where chunksize is the size of input for the tar command.
In this one, the suggested improvements by @DavidFoerster are included. Thanks a lot!

• @dadexix86 you're welcome! – Jacob Vlijm Nov 6 '16 at 14:05
• I god rid of the shell invocation and used an argument list directly. Still, large argument lists may be problematic and I'll try to improve the tar invocation further by providing the file list on the standard input stream. – David Foerster Nov 6 '16 at 14:18
• Hi @DavidFoerster , I trust your insight, but what is the advantage? – Jacob Vlijm Nov 6 '16 at 14:52
• Most runtime environments have a (soft and hard) limit on the total length of the argument strings of a command which you'll reach quickly when operating on thousands of files. That's why tar allows you to specify files to add (or extract) on standard input with an appropriate option. – David Foerster Nov 6 '16 at 14:58
• @DavidFoerster there is an issue though, the second one does not run anymore. Actually neither of them does... – Jacob Vlijm Nov 6 '16 at 15:02

A pure shell approach:
files=(*);
num=$((${#files[@]}/8));
k=1
for ((i=0; i<${#files[@]}; i+=$num)); do
tar cvzf files$k.tgz -- "${files[@]:$i:$num}"
((k++))
done
Explanation
• files=(*) : save the list of files (also directories if any are present, change to files=(*.txt) to get only things with a txt extension) in the array $files.
• num=$((${#files[@]}/8)); : ${#files[@]} is the number of elements in the array $files. The $(( )) is bash's (limited) way of doing arithmetic. So, this command sets $num to the number of files divided by 8.
• k=1 : just a counter to name the tarballs.
• for ((i=0; i<${#files[@]}; i+=$num)); do : iterate over the values of the array. $i is initialized at 0 (the first element of the array) and incremented by $num. This continues until we've gone through all elements (files).
• tar cvzf files$i.tgz -- ${files[@]:$i:$num} : in bash, you can get an array slice (part of an array) using ${array[@]:start:length}, So ${array[@]:2:3} will return three elements starting from the second. Here, we are taking a slice that starts at the current value of $i and is $num elements long. The -- is needed in case any of your file names can start with a -.
• ((k++)) : increment $k
2
• Nice! First time I've seen a practical use of bash array index ranges. – Joe Nov 10 '16 at 5:53
• Very clean and succinct. To me, more understandable than the Python solutions though both are pretty good. Wonder how they all compare in performance? – DocSalvager Nov 10 '16 at 8:44

Roderick in the meanwhile felt his spirits unusually depressed, and dismissed his attendants, seated himself on a couch, and remained buried in painful rumination till the chapel clock tolled eleven. Starting at the lateness of the hour, he was about to retire to rest; when a loud peal of thunder, followed by a scream, arrested his step, & instantly the hag entered his apartment. Her looks were wild, and her garments floated loosely on the ground. Roderick remembered her prophecy. When thou next beholdest me the event of my predictions will be at hand; and he stood motionless as a statue, while in a deep hollow voice she repeated,
Then extending her wand, she exclaimed, “Follow me!" Roderick drawing his sword, snatched up the lamp and obeyed her command. With a rapid step she led the way to the chapel; but at the portal uttered a wild and hideous scream, she sunk into the earth and vanished. Roderick's feelings were wound up to a degree of phrenzy: he dashed the lamp from him, and proceeded. The tapers around Malvina's tomb, gave sufficient light to his path, and a distant hollow voice directed him to the altar he approached and beheld a scene, which for a moment paralyzed his frame.

Things to know before getting a Botox injection
Before you begin with your Botox treatment, you need to be prepared for it. Well, there is a list of things you should be aware of:
1. Know if it is applicable to you
There are certain conditions under which you cannot get the botox treatment done. Hence, you need to be careful during these.
1. Take less stress
Botox treatment is very simple and quick. However, many people tend to get nervous before getting the botox injection. If you feel stressed, you need to break the myths and relax about it.
1. Make sure to mention medications
If you are under certain medications, you need to tell about it before undergoing botox treatment. Some of the medications which may have a reverse effect with the botox include blood thinners, muscle relaxants and more.
1. Refrain from cigarettes
If you are taking botox injections, you should stop smoking cigarettes. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of botox bruising. Also, it will slow down the healing period.
1. Cleanse your skin
Before applying the botox injection, make sure that your skin is free from dirt. Wash your face properly and rinse it off with warm water. Next, you can choose to pat and dry your face.
How to prevent botox bruising?
Botox bruising in the forehead is very common. There are certain steps you should be taking before and after the botox injection to prevent bruising:
• Before the treatment
Refrain from blood thinning effects
There are certain supplements which may have a blood thinning effects on your body. These include ginger, garlic, green tea, ginseng and more. You should stop taking them at least seven days before the treatment.
Stop blood-thinning medicines
If you are under medication, it is better to stop it for some days. The blood-thinning medicines will prevent the blood thinning which will have a negative impact on a body after botox injection. In most conditions, you might not be allowed to have the treatment due to such medications.
Don’t drink alcohol for 24 hours
You should stop with your alcohol consumption a day before getting the botox treatment. The anti-platelet effect of botox leads to an increased risk of botox bruising.
• During the treatment
Ice the area
Before beginning with the botox treatment, you should prefer applying ice to the respective area to make it numb. It helps to contract the blood vessels which further lessen the risk of botox bruising.
Consider taking homeopathic arnica
Homeopathic arnica is also referred to as mountain daisy. Start using it to minimize the risk of botox bruising. The arnica tablets are easily available in the market. You can begin with a day before and continue with it for the next 5 days.
Bromelain supplement
Bromelain supplement is said to be useful since it helps to lower the risk of inflammation and swelling. Some of the bromelain supplements help to make the capillaries strong when combined with vitamin C.
• After the treatment
Ice the treatment
This is one of the most important things you should be doing after getting Botox injection to prevent botox bruising. Take a bag of frozen ice and apply it over the treated area. Ensure to keep it cool.
Refrain from exercise for a day or two
Although exercising regularly is healthy, but if you have undergone a cosmetic treatment, you should not do it. Excess physical activity can increase the blood flow, pressure, and heart rate. This further prevents the capillaries from healing at a quick rate.
Use the extra pillow
Before going off to sleep, make sure to use an extra pillow to keep your head elevated. This helps in faster recovery.
Botox bruising is common in a lot of people, but there are certain ways through which you can prevent them. You should prefer visiting the experts at Alpharetta Botox to lessen the risk of botox bruising.

Modals are the pop-up-like windows which appear in several places within Joomla. For example, when as an administrator you create a new menu item, and select a Menu Item Type of Single Article, then when you click to select the article, a pop-up appears displaying the details of the articles available and allowing you to select one.
These modals use CSS and Javascript to give the appearance of pop-ups, and Joomla uses the Bootstrap Modal framework. The HTML elements which comprise the modal are already within the HTML of the page, but hidden. When you click on an appropriate button, then the javascript code behind the button click does the following:
• HTML hidden elements of the modal are made visible.
• A new div element covering the whole of the browser window is created. This backdrop is coloured black, and has partial opacity, so this gives the appearance of greying out what's behind the modal.
• In the CSS the z-index is defined so that the modal appears above the backdrop.
When you close the modal by selecting an item or by clicking the close button, then the HTML elements of the modal are made hidden again, the backdrop div is removed and any item you selected is passed by javascript to the appropriate field on the main form.
Each modal consists of three parts:
1. Header at the top, usually with the title and an X button to close the modal.
2. Body, where the main information appears.
3. Footer, with buttons such as Close, Save, and others depending upon the context.
Step 1: Define Field in XML Form
The definition of what is displayed when you select a menu item is defined in the xml file. You need to add the field definition to be a custom field type which is called modal_<fieldfilename>.
For example,
<field
name="id"
type="modal_helloworld"
required="true"
label="COM_HELLOWORLD_HELLOWORLD_FIELD_GREETING_LABEL"
description="COM_HELLOWORLD_HELLOWORLD_FIELD_GREETING_DESC"
/>
Step 2: Field Definition
The field definition for new custom field goes into the admin/models/fields directory. Because the field type is called modal_<fieldfilename>, with an underscore in between, Joomla will look in a /modal subdirectory.
The name of the file will be fieldfilename.php
<?php
defined('JPATH_BASE') or die;
/**
* Supports a modal for selecting a helloworld record
*
*/
class JFormFieldModal_Helloworld extends JFormField
{
/**

JFactory::getLanguage()->load('com_helloworld', JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR);
// $this->value is set if there's a default id specified in the xml file
$value = (int) $this->value > 0 ? (int) $this->value : '';
// $this->id will be jform_request_xxx where xxx is the name of the field in the xml file
$modalId = 'Helloworld_' . $this->id;
// Add the modal field script to the document head.
JHtml::_('jquery.framework');
JHtml::_('script', 'system/modal-fields.js', array('version' => 'auto', 'relative' => true));

// title to go in the modal header
$modalTitle = JText::_('COM_HELLOWORLD_MENUITEM_SELECT_MODAL_TITLE');
// html to set up the modal iframe

'ModalSelect' . $modalId,

'width' => '800px',
'bodyHeight' => '70',
'modalWidth' => '80',
'footer' => '<a role="button" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">' . JText::_('JLIB_HTML_BEHAVIOR_CLOSE') . '</a>',
)
);
// class='required' for client side validation.
$class = $this->required ? ' class="required modal-value"' : '';
// hidden input field to store the helloworld record id
$html .= '<input type="hidden" id="' . $this->id . '_id" ' . $class
. ' data-required="' . (int) $this->required . '" name="' . $this->name
. '" data-text="' . htmlspecialchars(JText::_('COM_HELLOWORLD_MENUITEM_SELECT_HELLOWORLD', true), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')
. '" value="' . $value . '" />';
return $html;
}
/**
* Method to get the html for the label field.
*
* @return string The field label html.
*/
protected function getLabel()
{
return str_replace($this->id, $this->id . '_id', parent::getLabel());
}
}
When the field definition class extends JFormField, Joomla expects two methods to be present in the class: getInput() which should return the html for the input field elements and getLabel() which should return the html for the label.
There are a many things returned by the getInput() method:
1. The input field which displays the current title selected, or the text "Select" if none has been selected.
2. The Select button - this appears if no title has been selected. The attribute data-toggle="modal" indicates that clicking on this button will cause the modal to appear.
3. The Clear button - this appears if a title has been selected. When clicked, it runs a javascript function within the system/modal-fields.js code which replaces the selected title with the "Select" text, makes visible the Select button, and hides the Clear button.
4. The modal elements - these are output through including sections of the Bootstrap html and javascript code. When the modal appears the iframe is created and populated through an HTTP GET to the URL in $urlSelect.
5. A hidden field which stores the id of the record selected, and this is used to pass it in the HTTP POST parameters when the form is submitted.
Here, the callback function is called jSelectHelloworld_jform_request_id, and this is the function that is called from the modal to pass the id and title of the selected record. Knowing this, window.processModalSelect will set the input fields for the title and id, and set the visibility of the Select and Clear buttons.
The modal knows that this is the name of the function to call because it's passed as the &function=jSelectHelloworld_jform_request_id parameter within the URL of the iframe.
The &tmpl=component parameter in the URL means that the component.php file within the directory of the installed template is used, which presents an html page without the Joomla menus, and other things that are not required by the modal.
For the modal display, you use the same list of items functionality. So, the controller and the model will be the same.
Step 3: The View File
In the view file, you don't display the toolbar buttons nor the sidebar menu.
// Set the sidebar submenu and toolbar, but not on the modal window
if ($this->getLayout() !== 'modal')
{
HelloWorldHelper::addSubmenu('helloworlds');
$this->addToolBar();
}
Step 4: Modal Layout File
You have to create a new modal layout file, modal.php, in the tmpl folder. This file is similar to the default.php layout file, but differs in some important aspects.
1. The function parameter is embedded in the iframe URL as a query parameter, and you use this in the URL target of the <form> element and in the data-function attribute of the each greeting value.
2. There are several other data attributes associated with each title value. These are used to pass this information to the parent window via the function call. Also, each title has a CSS class of "select-link".
3. You need to set the target URL of the <form> to be the same as the URL of the iframe. This is because whenever the administrator uses the search and filter tools, the form sends an HTTP request to that URL, and you need to ensure it's the same data that gets presented.
4. The checkboxes have been removed, as they are now irrelevant.
Step 5: JavaScript File
You also need a javascript file which sets an onclick listener on each of the title (identified through having the class "select-link"), and calls the required function when triggered.

THE MODERN MIND 347
of supplement to his body. The machine is an apparatus which serves more than one important function the most notable of which, from our point of view, is that it taps cos mic energy, which it brings into the service of man to do his will under the direction of his intelligence. It is an organ ization of material things for controlling the forces before which men once stood in impotent awe. It is a method of taming heat, light, steam, electricity, gravitation; and as more occult realms of natural energy are opened up it sub dues them also to human purposes. There is no apparent limit to this process; but, generally speaking, with this ad vancing conquest of nature the appliances through which its forces are trained to human service become more elab orately complex. Between the directing mind and the end at which it aims is interposed an ever longer and more intri cate series of mechanical means; until the human intel ligence seems almost dwarfed by the very vastness of the material organization it has invented.
Turning now from the consideration of the artificial en vironment which men have built up around themselves, let us think of the multiplicity of the human contacts in the city. One is continually rubbing against one s fellowmen. The relationships and contacts get to be so numerous that many of them become to a large extent habitual. The con sciousness attending them is not vivid or intense. Many of them come only within the fringe of consciousness. This is a merciful provision, for the economy of our vital energy life in the city would be intolerable, impossible, indeed, if it were not so. Nevertheless, the whole field of attention of the dweller in the city is usually filled with these human contacts and relations. Their multiplicity and importance, the inevitable and urgent character of many of them, render it necessary to the preservation and promotion of life that they occupy prevailingly the foreground of one s conscious ness. It is men, men, men! Turn where we will, we see them ; or if we do not at the moment see them, we see the work of their hands or we hear the sounds of their activities.

The Benefits of Having a Water Filter at Home
717
Water Filter at Home
How safe is your drinking water at home?
Most people don’t know that their local water can contain contaminants. Common contaminants found in water include lead, arsenic, and toxic chemicals.
Water is one of the prime cornerstones of health and wellness and represents a critical aspect of life. However, drinking tap water in many areas is unsafe to drink without filtering it first. Bottled water can be expensive and not necessarily the best option.
A water filter can be the perfect solution for your home if you want healthier water. Here are five benefits of having one installed in your home.
Removes Contaminants
One of the most obvious benefits of having a water filter at home is that it can remove various contaminants from your water, such as bacteria, viruses, and chemicals. Depending on your chosen filter, it can remove anything from small particles like sediment and rust to larger contaminants like lead and chlorine.
This is especially important for households with young children or older adults, as they may be more susceptible to the effects of contaminated water.
Improves Taste and Smell
Water from a filter tastes significantly better and is usually free from unpleasant odors. By eliminating sediment, chlorine, volatile organic compounds, and other chemicals from the water, the pleasant crisp taste of the water is much more pronounced.
Filtered water also eliminates the taste of metals, such as iron and copper, often in tap water. Furthermore, the minerals added to them in areas with hard water can have a distinct odor.
Water filters can help to remove those minerals, so they will no longer have a strange smell. Overall, a non electric water distiller is an essential investment that can significantly enhance the taste and smell of your water.
Cost-Effective
Having a water filter at home is one of the most cost-effective ways to ensure you and your family access clean drinking water. Investing in quality clean water filter means you won’t worry about spending money on expensive water bottles or buying salt-based water softener systems.
A good water filter can be installed and used repeatedly, so you don’t have to worry about replacing it every few months. Investing in a water filter is one of the smartest, most cost-effective choices you can make for the health of your family and the environment.
Convenient and Easy to Maintain
Having a water filter at home is convenient and easy to access quality drinking water. Most systems are easy to install and low maintenance, with replacement cartridges typically needing to be changed once a year.
Furthermore, home water filtration systems don’t require electricity. They are battery-operated, so you don’t need to worry about power outages or having your filter go offline.
Protects Your Plumbing
Having a water filter at home helps to protect your plumbing. With a filter, any sediment or contaminants that can cause wear and tear on your pipes over time is removed, extending their life and reducing the risk of clogs and other damage.
No chlorine, hard metals, and other dangerous substances can pass through, which can corrode the inside of your pipes.
A Water Filter is the Way to Drink
Having a water filter at home is a worthwhile investment that provides healthier water, reduces waste, and saves money. It is a simple, cost-effective way to ensure clean and healthy water.
Try installing a water filter in your home today to experience all the benefits it has to offer.

bumpMapping matrices kung-fu.
I'm currently writing an engine for iPHone 3GS and diving in openGL es 2.0 made me realize how weak my matrices kung-ku is.
I've followed the shaders example here : http://www.ozone3d.net/tutorials/bump_mapping_p4.php
Code :
[Vertex_Shader]
varying vec3 lightVec;
varying vec3 eyeVec;
varying vec2 texCoord;
attribute vec3 vTangent;
void main(void)
{
gl_Position = ftransform();
texCoord = gl_MultiTexCoord0.xy;
vec3 n = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
vec3 t = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * vTangent);
vec3 b = cross(n, t);
vec3 vVertex = vec3(gl_ModelViewMatrix * gl_Vertex);
vec3 tmpVec = gl_LightSource[0].position.xyz - vVertex;
lightVec.x = dot(tmpVec, t);
lightVec.y = dot(tmpVec, b);
lightVec.z = dot(tmpVec, n);
tmpVec = -vVertex;
eyeVec.x = dot(tmpVec, t);
eyeVec.y = dot(tmpVec, b);
eyeVec.z = dot(tmpVec, n);
}
I have now a georgous iphone bumpMapping support for iphone 3GS but:
1/ It looks like the shader build a matrix cameraspace->tangentspace, instead of providing light position in model space and perform bumpMapping directly, this seems unefficient.
2/ Before modifying to the much faster gpwiki method ( http://gpwiki.org/index.php/OpenGL:T...L_Bump_Mapping ), I'm trying to undestand exactly what is going on:
Code :
vec3 n = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
vec3 t = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * vTangent);
vec3 b = cross(n, t);
This is basically a matrix*matrix operation.
gl_NormalMatrix is a modelspace->cameraspace,
gl_Normal and vTangent are two compoennt of the tangent space matrix, which perform a modelspace->tangentspace transformation.
Thing I don't get #1:
How comes doing:
modelspace->cameraspace * modelspace->tangentspace
builds a matrix that allow to do cameraspace--> tangentspace
Thing I don't get #2:
When the light vector is rotated, it's not done via a Matrix*Vector but the opposite: Vector*Matrix.
Any help ?

Re: bumpMapping matrices kung-fu.
1/ It looks like the shader build a matrix cameraspace->tangentspace, instead of providing light position in model space and perform bumpMapping directly, this seems unefficient.
A lot of people prefer doing lighting in camera space (also referred to as eye space). One reason being that the view direction is simple, usually looking down the negative z-axis.
Getting vertices into eye space is done by applying the modelview matrix. However, this is not true for normals. In fact, normals are transformed into eye space by multiplying gl_NormalMatrix, which is essentially the inverse of the rotation part of the modelview matrix (so inverse == transpose in this special case). This is what is happening to n, t and b, where b is computed from the other two and is thus automatically in eye space. It is not a matrix*matrix operation.

Assuming that tangents are given in modelspace, the same space as the normals, what you are asking above is not true.
Thing I don't get #2:

Not sure what you mean here. The lightVec is scaled by its "commonality" (the dot-product) with the three orthogonal vectors that form the coordinate system for each vertex.
tmpVec is the direction (in eye space) from the camera to the current vertex. It should probably be normalized.

Re: bumpMapping matrices kung-fu.
gl_Normal & vTangent are given in the model space.
vec3 n = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * gl_Normal);
vec3 t = normalize(gl_NormalMatrix * vTangent);
vec3 b = cross(n, t);
Now: (n,t,b) are (normal, tangent and bitangent) of a vertex in the camera space.
lightVec.x = dot(tmpVec, t);
lightVec.y = dot(tmpVec, b);
lightVec.z = dot(tmpVec, n);
Now: lightVec is a projection of tmpVec to the tangent space. The same goes for eyeVec.
P.S. Both your questions are about the order of operations. The reason why it works this way but not the other lies within the matrix representation in OpenGL.

Re: bumpMapping matrices kung-fu.
Column vs. row major representation and pre vs post multiplication, as stated.
It's equivalent to a matrix * matrix, but it's really a vector transformation (w = 0) into the desired space with the 3rd row implied and calculated as the cross product.
You can be more efficient in some circumstances but it often means more CPU matrix work and uniform setting. e.g. For many applications you can have an object space light and object space bump map and just use TBN without transformation. This is in fact the best behaved IMHO for reconstruction but you need 3 component signed bumpmaps, and per object light information if it's under transformation. Of course you can have an identity model matrix for world stuff and then your uniforms change a lot less.
Object space bump maps are underused IMHO.

How to Use Microsoft Word Screenshot Tool
Spread the love
How to Use Microsoft Word Screenshot Tool is some kind of a debatable issue and a vital concern even for some techies in this age. In any case, you are using Microsoft Word you must have had the thought crossing your mind at some point in time. However, it might be a trickier chore but it is nothing like you cannot handle.
Coming to the context of the Built-in Microsoft Word Screenshot Tool. The latest Microsoft Word has got an adequately long list of features. The highly enhanced Built-in Screenshot Tool is also one of the new imports or newly fangled features.
Well, the good thing is that you can proceed to work on the Built-in Screenshot Tool with no pain on your part at all. You will find taking the shot to be a completely hassle-free experience. Here is a peep into a step by step guide to take Screenshot on Microsoft Word.
How to Use Microsoft Word Screenshot Tool
The tool is handy if you want to take some screenshot and add directly the snapshot in Microsoft Word.
1. Open Microsoft Word
2. In order to take the screenshot in word, click on the ‘Insert’ tab.
3. Then Click on Screenshot Option.
4. You will see all your open windows there. If you want to take full snapshot of any windows in Microsoft Word. Then Click on that Window. But if you Want to take a snapshot of a portion in any Window, Then skip this step and go to the next step.
5. Here click on screen clipping option.
6. Now your screen will be dim, and It will allow you to select your desired portion to take a Microsoft word snapshot in the rectangle. And the current word document embedded with the snapshot.
This method is easiest and works like a charm. If you have some queries or suggestions for this article. please mention in the comments.

pipeComp: pipeComp pipeline benchmarking framework
A simple framework to facilitate the comparison of pipelines involving various steps and parameters. The `pipelineDefinition` class represents pipelines as, minimally, a set of functions consecutively executed on the output of the previous one, and optionally accompanied by step-wise evaluation and aggregation functions. Given such an object, a set of alternative parameters/methods, and benchmark datasets, the `runPipeline` function then proceeds through all combinations arguments, avoiding recomputing the same step twice and compiling evaluations on the fly to avoid storing potentially large intermediate data.

Tutorial: Parsing HTML with lxml, Requests, and XPath (and SQLite3) part II
Published: 2013-04-01
Tagged: python
Time is a fickle thing, but apart from taxes and death - the second part of this tutorial was inevitable. Last month we looked at the basics of web scraping with the use of Python, lxml, and XPath. This time we're going to take it a step further. We're going to scrape data from multiple pages and put it into an SQL database.
Foreword
If you just want to get to the script, jump over to the next section because here I will explain a bit of basic theory.
For our database, we'll go with SQLite3, as it is natively supported in Python and it offers all the functionality we need in this case. If this is your first time using SQLite, I highly recommend this excellent zetcode.com tutorial about Python and SQLite and if you'd like to explore SQLite a little bit more, I also recommend this awesome book by Jay A. Kreibich - Using SQLite. Both of these resources were of a huge help when I didn't know a single thing about SQL and they will surely explain some of the workings of the program we'll write now.
What exactly should our program do? Let's look at our target first: poor hostage data. For simplicity's sake I used the same table layout as from the previous example, but these methods work perfectly fine on any web page out there using slightly more complicated XPath queries. Notice that now there's five tables spread across five pages. This is fairly common - since data is usually meant for humans, breaking it down is only natural. Each page has a link that will take us to the next or previous page.
We have to get our script to .get each of these pages and there's two ways to do this. The first one, which we'll use, is the easiest and relies on the fact that all five pages that interest us have a very simple link: https://s3.amazonaws.com/codecave/dataX.html where X is an integer between 1 and 5. We can simply create a simple loop that iterates through 1 and 5 and substitutes X with that integer and this will work fine in our case. We have to get our script to .get each of these pages and there's two ways to do this.

I'd like to use this opportunity and also sketch out how to take care of pages which aren't such an easy case - where the links are some ugly random string or where we don't know how many pages of data there even exist. In this second case, we would use an infinite loop that would only terminate when there is no "Next page" link. This is closely related to how we would navigate to the next page - we would use XPath to query an lxml.html object to find the link for us. We would use the text "Next page" and any further clues to narrow down the location of the exact link.

We would use the text "Next page" and any further clues to narrow down the location of the exact link. In our scenario, this is fairly simple:
tree.xpath('//a[text()="Next page"]/attribute::href')
The text in square brackets is an XPath conditional. In non-moon speak it simply means "if text() of any A element is equal to 'Next page', return an attribute identified by 'href'". We would incorporate this piece of code in our loop to check for a link to the next page on each current page and if there isn't any link like that, we usually can assume that we scraped all the pages. The value of this attribute is the link our script would follow on to the next page to scrape so our solution would look like this in pseudocode:
while true:
get page(url)
data.append(scrape page for the data we want)
url = scrape page to get the link to the next page
if not url:
break
This should give you an idea how to tackle these sorts of problems. To see a few more example, check out my repository on github which has four scripts that I cooked up when I was learning how to scrape.
Scrape and Grind
Well, the time has finally come to show the code that will give us what we want. First we will start off with laying down the groundwork for our program - importing the libs we need and getting a connection to a database:
import sqlite3
from lxml import html
import requests
con = sqlite3.connect('liberated_data.db')
cursor = con.cursor()
These imports are nothing new, but let's look at the last two lines. The first line creates an SQLite3 connection object which is our connection to the database. The connect() function takes an argument which will be the file name of the database we want to create. The following line gives us a cursor in the database, which as the name implies, is an object that keeps track of where it is in the database. This might come in handy when you need to check the exact row and table that your script is writing to, but we don't need that now. SQLite3, unlike other databases, keeps it's data in flat files. This has some performance penalties, hence why production ready applications use MySQL or Postgres. Don't be fooled though, SQLite still packs a punch.
The next part of our script will set up our database tables:
cursor.execute('DROP TABLE IF EXISTS data;')
cursor.execute('CREATE TABLE data (id integer primary key, item text, quantity integer, stock integer, price integer)')
con.commit()
It's pretty straightforward - we use the cursor object, which we created earlier to execute() SQL statements. These statements check if a table called data already exists and if it doesn't then it is created with the columns id, item, quantity, stock, and price. SQLite is pretty forgiving when it comes to data types, more serious databases not so much. The last line is the key here because until you commit() whatever your cursor has executed, nothing is actually written to the database. A quick note: commits are time-hungry so it is better to commit data in larger chunks instead of after every execute() call.
The next piece of code is going to be a big chunk, but I believe it's only understandable when taken in as a whole. It's based in large part of the code from the previous post about scraping, so it should be familiar:
i = 1
while 1:
page = requests.get('https://s3.amazonaws.com/codecave/data%d.html' % i)
if not page:
break
tree = html.fromstring(page.text)
j = 1
while 1:
row = tree.xpath('//tr[%d]/td/text()' % j)
if not row:
break
cursor.execute('INSERT INTO DATA (item, quantity, stock, price) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)',
(row[0], row[1],row[2], row[3]))
print row
j += 1
i += 1
From a glance it's easy to see that I setup two sentinel values i and j. They are used by two infinite while loops in order to break at the right moment. They are also used in the actual scraping process. i is used to keep track of which page we are on. After scraping a page, i is incremented and on the next iteration of the main loop - we download the next page we want to scrape. Simple, right? j is used to keep track of the rows. Each query selects a single row of data and returns a list of values. If it returns an empty list - it means we got to the end of the table and we break. If not, then we use the cursor to execute an SQL statement, which uses the row list to insert the data into the correct columns in the database. Basically, the inner loop scans each row of a table while the outer loop fetches fresh pages to scan.
Finally, if we get a 404 which Python treats as falsy, the main loop breaks and we are finished scraping. This isn't the prettiest way to tackle this problem, but I think it's really simple and readable.
Last but not least we commit everything we executed and we close the connection:
con.commit()
con.close()
A note of caution: in a more real-life setting you would think about sqlite3 and requests throwing errors. A Try...Except sqlite3.error or a with would go a long way to make your script fail nicely and not mess up things.
That wraps up the slightly more complicated scrapers. The next step would be to use the sessions feature from the Requests lib in order to be able to scrape websites, which require authentication. It might be the third part of this tutorial series because while it is fairly simple, its applications are countless.
By the way, you can find scripts for parts I and II of this tutorial in my repo here.

The Toledo War (1835–39), also known as the Michigan–Ohio War, was the bloody boundary dispute between the U.S. state of Ohio and the adjoining territory of Michigan, notable for being the only of three American "civil wars" which did not involve the federal government.
Originating from conflicting state and federal legislation passed between 1787 and 1805, the dispute resulted from poor understanding of geographical features of the Great Lakes at the time. Varying interpretations of the law caused the governments of Ohio and Michigan to both claim sovereignty over a 468 sqmi region along the border, now known as the Toledo Strip. When Michigan petitioned for statehood in 1835, it sought to include the disputed territory within its boundaries; Ohio's congressional delegation was in turn able to stall Michigan's admission to the Union.
Beginning in 1835, both sides passed legislation attempting to force the other side's capitulation. Ohio's governor Robert Lucas and Michigan's 24-year-old "Boy Governor" Stevens T. Mason were both unwilling to cede jurisdiction of the Strip, so they raised militias and helped institute criminal penalties for citizens submitting to the other's authority. The militias were mobilized and sent to positions on opposite sides of the Maumee River near Toledo. Hostilities between the two forces began in the summer of 1836 with the Battle of Toledo, when Michigander troops attempted to occupy the city and were met with force by the Ohio militia. Fighting continued in bursts interspersed with sporadic skirmishes along the borderlands, culminating in the Siege of Detroit which gave Ohio strategic control of Michigan's waterways, effectively strangling the territory economically.
Throughout the conflict, Ohioan senators attempted to convince Congress that the territory was in rebellion against the Union and asked for Federal support, however, the fighting had ended before any motion was brought up.
In December 1839, three months after Detroit fell to the Ohio militia, the Michigan Territory officially surrendered to the Ohio State Government, ceding Toledo as well as three border counties. Michigan was admitted as a state to the Union a year afterwards.

Gabbard raises $3.4 million but lags behind 2020 frontrunners
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) raised $3.4 million in the final quarter of 2019, a slight improvement over her third quarter numbers that nevertheless leaves her well behind the Democratic primary's fundraising leaders. Gabbard's fourth quarter haul was first reported by NBC News. A spokesperson for Gabbard confirmed the top-line number to POLITICO but did not respond to a followup question about the number of individual donors or cash on hand amount. Gabbard is one of four Democrats who have already announced their fundraising totals for the last three months of 2019. She trails Bernie Sanders (who raised $34.5 million, which is so far the largest single quarter haul for any Democrat in 2019), Pete Buttigieg ($24.7 million) and Andrew Yang ($16.5 million). None of the Democrats has said how much he or she has in the bank so far. Gabbard raised about $1.2 million for her run in the month of December. She raised $3 million in the third quarter of 2019, which had been her best quarter. The Hawaii congresswoman announced last fall that she will not seek reelection to her House seat. “In light of the challenges we face, I believe I can … best serve the people of Hawaiʻi & our country as President and Commander-in-Chief,” she said in late October.

Why Won’t Blackface Go Away? It’s Part of America’s Troubled Cultural Legacy
Past Tense For more than 180 years, racist stereotypes have been used to entertain. He keeps showing up, like some slightly bemused and maniacal houseguest, usually intending to get a laugh but instead taking America back into a wicked time warp. The man in blackface stands there, frozen. The photo of him starts to ricochet around our race-haunted land. The outcry begins anew. We find ourselves in this situation again after a photo was circulated last week showing a man in blackface standing next to a man in a Ku Klux Klan robe on the medical school yearbook page of Gov. Ralph Northam of Virginia. At first, Mr. Northam admitted to being in the photo (without disclosing which of the two men he was), but then he backtracked and denied it. He did, though, admit to a different flirtation with blackface, when he dressed as Michael Jackson. On Wednesday, the state’s attorney general, Mark Herring, also a Democrat, acknowledged that he himself had donned blackface while in college. All this as Virginia, like the rest of the country, celebrates Black History Month. Blackface in America just won’t go away — consistently showing up at stag parties, on frat row, in college musicals and elsewhere. But the persistence of blackface is unsurprising. It has been a part of American popular culture since what we recognize as popular culture emerged — roughly round 1832, when Thomas Dartmouth Rice, in blackface, performed his song “Jump Jim Crow” to thunderous applause at the Bowery Theatre in New York. “It started during President Andrew Jackson’s presidency,” said Rhae Lynn Barnes, a professor of American cultural history at Princeton and the author of the forthcoming “Darkology: When the American Dream Wore Blackface.” She added that minstrel shows and blackface performances both reinforced and popularized the “stereotype of the dimwitted slave who was happy to be in the South.” For showbusiness impresarios, there was money to be made in perpetuating such stereotypes. A partial list of people who have appeared in blackface on screen and stage in the 186 years since Rice’s performance on the Bowery includes: Desi Arnaz, Fred Astaire, Dan Aykroyd, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll (from “Amos ‘n’ Andy”), Ethel Barrymore, Milton Berle, Jimmy Cagney, Joan Crawford, Bing Crosby, Billy Crystal, Ted Danson, Marion Davies, Robert Downey Jr., Judy Garland, Alec Guinness, Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Benny Hill, Bob Hope, Boris Karloff, Buster Keaton, Hedy Lamarr, Janet Leigh, Harold Lloyd, Sophia Loren, Myrna Loy, the Marx Brothers, David Niven, Laurence Olivier, Will Rogers, Mickey Rooney, Frank Sinatra, Grace Slick, Spencer Tracy, Shirley Temple, John Wayne, Mae West, Gene Wilder and the Three Stooges. [Read our critic Wesley Morris’s assessment of Gov. Northam’s situation.] “Its longevity is because it’s been institutionalized into every aspect of American life,” Dr. Barnes said. “People have perpetuated blackface because we don’t teach minstrel history. If these people had ever been exposed to it in a safe classroom environment, they would know better.” Judging from not only various records of campus life but also the numerous Instagram accounts of women appearing as “black” personalities — a phenomenon known as “blackfishing” — many do not know better. The popularity of blackface was at its height in the early 20th century and has waned sharply since the ’50s, but it certainly hasn’t disappeared. Rather, it has taken on different forms, perhaps more palatable to modern audiences. In 1986, “Soul Man” was a major Hollywood release, featuring C. Thomas Howell in blackface, posing as an African-American to reap the rewards of affirmative action. As recently as the early 2000s, Jimmy Kimmel wore blackface on “The Man Show” while doing an impression of the basketball player Karl Malone. He has never apologized for it, and he’s on television five nights a week. And it wasn’t until 2015 that the Metropolitan Opera of New York stopped using makeup to darken the faces of the singers in the lead role of “Othello.” If one were looking for a historical case study in celebrating blackface, well, one could proceed straight to the White House of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson knew Thomas Dixon, a novelist who in 1905 published “The Clansman,” an unabashedly racist book set during Reconstruction, featuring bands of black men looting and raping white women, which became a publishing sensation The “heroes” of the novel were Ku Klux Klansmen who came to the rescue of the white populace. From the book, the director D.W. Griffith made his lauded and wildly popular film, “The Birth of a Nation.” The major “black” characters in the film were portrayed by white actors in blackface. President Wilson showed the movie at the White House; it may have been the first movie ever screened there. “It is like writing history with lightning,” Wilson was quoted as saying about the film. “And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.” The stage adaptation of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” provided an additional layer of irony. The book, a runaway success that was often credited as one of the precipitators of the Civil War, told of the horrors of slavery. Theater producers bounded into view. But when the first stage production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” landed in New York City in 1853, it featured an all-white cast. As the 19th century wore on, the country swooned over minstrel and vaudeville productions, which often used burnt cork or shoe polish to darken performers’ faces. And over Al Jolson, in particular. It was around 1904 when Jolson, a Jewish man born in what is now Lithuania, began performing in blackface. Broadway beckoned, and in the succeeding years he became the biggest star of both blackface and Broadway. In 1927, he starred in “The Jazz Singer,” the first talking motion picture. Blackface was such a surefire route to popularity that even black performers started wearing it. Bert Williams, a Bahamian-American comedian, was a major one of these stars, and even in his lifetime his act was freighted with pathos. “Bert Williams was the funniest man I ever saw and the saddest man I ever knew,” W.C. Fields reportedly said. In perhaps one of the more heartbreaking developments, black child actors were enlisted in blackface acts, including an elementary school-aged Sammy Davis Jr. He was a black child portraying a white man portraying a stereotypical black person. Audiences howled in laughter. It is little wonder that Davis, who died in 1990, would spend a lifetime enduring racial jokes and put-downs, despite his many gifts as an entertainer. One of the landmark radio shows in American history was “Amos ’n’ Andy,” which began in 1928 and featured white actors portraying black characters. It was rife with black caricature. Black audiences, starved for entertainment, listened as well as whites. In June 1951, the show landed on television. The actors were now black, but the stereotypes were intact. The protests were swift, and the show lasted less than two years. By then, though, blackface was such an ingrained part of popular American culture — enacted so widely across entertainment media — that it had passed from the stage and screen to everyday life for many. A joke that could be made, a costume that could be worn. And as those recent revelations in Virginia have shown us, it is never long before another door opens and another photo emerges, and there he stands again, the man in blackface. Wil Haygood, a visiting professor at Miami University (Ohio), has written biographies of Sammy Davis, Jr., Thurgood Marshall and Sugar Ray Robinson. His latest book is “Tigerland: 1968-1969.”

Although roman numerals sneak in our lives from time to time, we(luckily) don't use them very often. Probably the reason why the Romans where not that good at calculating things. That changed, more than 1000 years later, with this person who introduced to the Western world the number system we all use today.
But let's come to the point: this is not about a conversion but about the ways to do it.
I don't even refer to the algoritm used, but C# seems to become such a rich expressive language that I'm beginning to have trouble choosing a way to do things. Are ther still other, even better ways to do this? Please let me know.
Any comment on my code is very much appriciated. :)

@Evenbit: Thanks for the reply and the tip on HLA. I'm not that much interested in the conversion, but in the way to do it in C#.
A recursive method using non-subtractive roman numerals:
using System;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1 {
class Roman {
String[] digits = { "", "i", "ii", "iii", "iiii", "v", "vi", "vii", "viii", "viiii" };
public String Convert(int number) {
String result = String.Empty;
if (number >= 10) {
result = MultiplyBy10(Convert(number / 10));
}
return result + digits[number % 10];
}
private String MultiplyBy10(String roman) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (char c in roman) {
switch (c) {
case 'i': sb.Append('x'); break;
case 'v': sb.Append('l'); break;
case 'x': sb.Append('c'); break;
case 'l': sb.Append('d'); break;
case 'c': sb.Append('m'); break;
case 'd': sb.Append("mmmmm"); break;
case 'm': sb.Append("mmmmmmmmmm"); break;
default: break;
}
}
return sb.ToString();
}
}
}
@Momerath: Interesting algorithm! But I guess the Romans rather liked to carve MCMXCIX into their stone walls, then mdcccclxxxxviiii, when they had the intention of writing the number 1999
Actually there is no standard and you can find both types of numbers throughout roman history. Wikipedia has an interesting article on this.
@Momerath: Yes I mentioned the same article in my OP. But thanks for your input anyway. I'd better made a thread here so I could call this one solved. I was just curious about what datatype was the best to use. I should have reformulated my title more in the direction of what I was really after, because as everyone knows, roman numerals are too hot of a topic these days;)

For the sake of the argument you could also implement this with classes, the implementation is similar to that of Type Struct.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace RomanNumeralConvertWithClasses
{
class MainApplication
{
static void Main(string[] args)

romArray = new RomanNumeralConverter[]
{
new RomanNumeralConverter("M",1000),
new RomanNumeralConverter("D",500),
new RomanNumeralConverter("C",100),
new RomanNumeralConverter("L",50),
new RomanNumeralConverter("X",10),
new RomanNumeralConverter("V",5),
new RomanNumeralConverter("I",1)
};
string[] romanNumerals = new string[] { "M", "M", "M", "D", "C", "C", "C", "L", "X", "X", "X", "V", "I", "I", "I" }; // 3888
int total = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < romanNumerals.Length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < romArray.Length; j++)
{
if (romanNumerals[i] == romArray[j].key)
{
total += romArray[j].value;
}
}
}
Console.WriteLine(total);
}
}
class RomanNumeralConverter
{
public string key { get; set; }
public int value { get; set; }
public RomanNumeralConverter()
{
}
public RomanNumeralConverter(string key, int value)
{
this.key = key;
this.value = value;
}
}
}
because as everyone knows, roman numerals are too hot of a topic these days
Actually, Roman Numerals are quite common in industrial settings. For instance, "25L" would mean 25 stacks of 50 items. You probably run into them quite often on a daily basis without realising it because you are simply not looking for them or simply unaware that that is what the letter means in that particular context.

Abstract
This paper investigated on infrared Nd:YAG pulsed laser radiation on platinum (Pt) thin films. Pt thin films were deposited on Si by DC magnetron sputtering. Then, the deposited thin films were radiated by infrared Nd:YAG pulse laser at different laser energy. The radiated thin films were analysed based on the electrical and surface morphological properties. Four-point probe measurement shows that, the lowest resistivity was recorded when the energy laser are 110-170 mJ. Surface morphology scanned by scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that the surface of sample with lowest resistivity after radiated with laser is smoother than the as-deposited thin films. After laser radiation, the grain sizes of thin films increases due to the grain agglomeration on the surface area.

Kensington New Town
Kensington New Town is an area of housing in Kensington, London, which was developed in the early 19th century. It lies to the south of Kensington High Street and to the southwest of Kensington Gardens.
History
The area first began to be built up in 1837, and the original construction continued until 1846. The developers included John Inderwick, a successful pipe-maker and tobacconist; John James Vallotton, who was a successful haberdasher in Jermyn Street; and Jonathan Hamston who was a carpenter and builder. The core of the district is the intersection of Launceston Place and Victoria Grove. Many of the original late Regency style buildings are still present into the 21st century. Most of the buildings in the area have an off-white or cream stucco exterior coating, with a small amount of brick houses. The Gloucester Arms, a Grade II listed pub, is at the centre of the area, along with various shops.
The borough council recognised and protected this area as the Kensington New Town Conservation Area in 1969 and this has since been extended to become the De Vere Conservation Area.

C Question
Warning: comparison with string literals results in unspecified behaviour
I am starting a project of writing a simplified shell for linux in C. I am not at all proficient with C nor with Linux that's exactly the reason I decided it would be a good idea.
Starting with the parser, I have already encountered some problems.
The code should be straightforward that's why I didn't include any comments.
I am getting a warning with gcc: "comparison with string literals results in unspecified behaviour" at the lines commented with "WARNING HERE" (see code below).
I have no idea why this causes an warning, but the real problem is that even though I am comparing an "<" to an "<" is doesn't get inside the if...
I am looking for an answer for the problem explained, however if there's something that you see in the code that should be improved please say so. Just take in mind I am not that proficient and that this is still a work in progress (or better yet, a work in start).
Thanks in advance.

Answer Source
You want to use strcmp() == 0 to compare strings instead of a simple ==, which will just compare if the pointers are the same (which they won't be in this case).
args[i] is a pointer to a string (a pointer to an array of chars null terminated), as is "&" or "<".
The expression argc[i] == "&" checks if the two pointers are the same (point to the same memory location).
The expression strcmp( argc[i], "&") == 0 will check if the contents of the two strings are the same.

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract
Background Obesity is a robust predictor of poor asthma control in younger adults. Given the high prevalence of asthma and obesity in older Americans, weight reduction could benefit asthma management in this population. Objective To assess the association between obesity and asthma outcomes among older adults. Methods We recruited from urban primary care clinics a prospective cohort of nonsmoking individuals with asthma who were 60 years or older without a history of other respiratory diseases. At baseline, body mass index (BMI) measurements were classified as normal (BMI, 18–25), overweight (BMI, 25–30), or obese (BMI, >30). Measures of asthma morbidity (Asthma Control Questionnaire [ACQ], and Mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire [Mini-AQLQ]) and asthma-related resource utilization (inpatient or outpatient) were taken at baseline and at 3- and 12-month interviews. We used generalized estimating equation models to assess associations between obesity and asthma outcomes after controlling for potential confounders. Results Of the 437 older adults with asthma in the study, 17% had a normal BMI, 32% were overweight, and 51% were obese. Unadjusted analyses revealed that obesity was associated with lower ACQ scores (odds ratio [OR], 1.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09–1.31) and poorer Mini-AQLQ scores (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.11–1.33). Adjusted analyses revealed no significant association between obesity and ACQ (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.96–1.15) and Mini-AQLQ (OR, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.99–1.19). Conclusion Our study suggests that obesity is not independently associated with worse asthma outcomes in older adults, reflecting potential differences in the mechanisms that link obesity with asthma control in older vs younger populations.

How to Fix the Error You Need to Format the Disk in Drive Problem
How to Fix the Error You Need to Format the Disk in Drive Problem
Introduction to the Error: You Need to Format the Disk in Drive
When faced with the error message “You need to format the disk in drive”, it can be a daunting task to figure out what it means and how to fix it. Before attempting to address the issue, it is important to understand what this error means and why it is appearing.
This error message occurs when a user attempts to access a disk or drive that has not been formatted, or has been formatted with an incompatible file system. In order to use the disk or drive, it must be formatted with a compatible file system. Depending on the type of disk or drive, this may be NTFS, FAT32, or exFAT.
To determine the type of disk or drive, right-click on the disk or drive in File Explorer and select Properties. The File System field will indicate the type of file system currently in use. If the disk or drive has not been formatted, it will show as “RAW”.
In order to format a disk or drive, right-click on the disk or drive in File Explorer, select Format, and choose the desired file system. Note that formatting a disk or drive will erase all the data stored on it, so back up the data before proceeding.
Once a disk or drive has been formatted with a compatible file system, the “You need to format the disk in drive” error message should no longer appear. However, if the error persists, it may be a sign of a larger issue, such as a faulty cable or a damaged hard drive, and should be addressed immediately.
In conclusion, the “You need to format the disk in drive” error message occurs when a disk or drive has not been formatted, or has been formatted with an incompatible file system. To resolve this issue, the disk or drive must be formatted with a compatible file system. If the error persists, it may be a sign of a larger issue, such as a faulty cable or a damaged hard drive.
What Causes the Error?
When computers are asked to do a task, it is important that the instructions given to them are clear and precise. However, there are certain errors that can arise when instructions are not followed correctly or when something unexpected occurs and the computer is unable to interpret the instructions correctly.
The specific cause of an error can vary significantly depending on the type of error, but there are some common sources of such errors.
One of the most frequent causes of errors is incorrect use of computer commands. For example, entering an incorrect command or syntax can lead to an error message. The same is true of deleting a file accidentally or attempting to access a file that does not exist.
Another common source of errors is faulty hardware. This can occur when a device or component is not working properly, or when a part is not compatible with the computer system. This can lead to a variety of error messages or system crashes.
Software errors are also quite common. These can arise from outdated or corrupted software, or from conflicting software installed on the computer. In some cases, malicious software can also cause errors.
Finally, environmental conditions can also lead to errors. This can include fluctuations in power, temperature, or humidity, which can cause the computer to malfunction.
In summary, errors can arise from a variety of sources, including incorrect commands, hardware malfunctions, software errors, and environmental conditions. It is important to identify the source of the error in order to properly address the issue.
How to Troubleshoot the Error?
Troubleshooting errors can be a daunting task, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the underlying causes. But don’t worry – with the right approach, you can diagnose any issue and get back to work in no time.
The first step is to understand the error code or message. These codes and messages can provide useful information about the source of the issue. They can tell you, for example, if the error is related to a specific piece of hardware, a particular software application, or a system setting. Once you’ve identified the source of the error, you’ll be able to narrow your focus and start troubleshooting.
The next step is to research the error. Search the web for user forums and support pages related to the specific error code or message. Other users may have encountered the same issue and posted solutions that may help you.
Finally, you’ll want to systematically troubleshoot the issue. Start by checking the basics: make sure the hardware, software, and system settings you’ve identified as related to the error are all configured correctly. If that doesn’t work, try disabling or uninstalling any software or hardware that may be causing the issue. If all else fails, you may want to consider resetting your system settings or restoring your computer to an earlier point in time.
Troubleshooting errors can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be a headache. By taking the time to identify the source of the error and systematically troubleshoot the issue, you can get your system up and running in no time.
Is the Error a Serious Problem?
When it comes to computer errors, it is hard to determine whether or not the issue is serious. It all depends on the type of error and the context in which it occurs. Generally speaking, errors can range from minor, harmless discrepancies to major, critical system failures.
Minor errors, such as typos or incorrect syntax, are usually not a cause for concern. These can be fixed easily and will not affect the overall performance of the computer. On the other hand, major errors, such as blue screens or hard drive crashes, can be more serious and require more attention.
If a user experiences an error on their computer, they should first try to identify the source of the issue. If the error is minor, then it should be relatively simple to fix. However, if the error appears to be more serious, then it is important to take the proper steps to address the issue. This may include contacting technical support or a computer repair technician.
Regardless of the type of error, it is important to take the necessary steps to fix it. Ignoring errors can lead to more serious issues in the future, such as data loss or system instability. Fortunately, with a little bit of effort, most errors can be addressed quickly and easily.
How to Fix the Error?
No matter how experienced you are with computers, it can be a challenge to troubleshoot errors. The good news is that most errors can be fixed, and the process for doing so isn’t too complex. Here are some tips on how to fix the error:
1. Read the error message carefully. Read through the entire error message and take note of any information that may help you troubleshoot the issue. The message may provide additional clues about what caused the error and how you can fix it.
2. Check for updates. Many software and hardware problems can be solved by simply updating the software or drivers. Make sure you have the latest versions of your operating system, software, and hardware drivers installed.
3. Restart your system. If you’re still experiencing the error after updating, try restarting your system. This will clear out any temporary files or settings that may be causing the problem.
4. Check your hardware. If restarting doesn’t fix the error, you may need to check your hardware. Make sure all of your cables and connections are secure and that your system is not overheating.
5. Reinstall the software or drivers. If the problem persists, you may need to reinstall the software or drivers that are causing the error. This may require you to uninstall the software or drivers, then reinstall them from the original source.
6. Try a different approach. If you’ve tried all of the above solutions, you may need to try a different approach. For example, if the error is related to a software issue, you may need to try a different software program or version.
7. Seek professional help. If you’re still unable to fix the error, it may be time to seek professional help. A qualified technician can diagnose the problem and help you get it fixed quickly.
By following these steps, you can fix most errors and get your system running smoothly again. It’s important to take your time and carefully read through error messages, as they can provide important clues about how to fix the problem. If all else fails, don’t hesitate to seek professional help.

Error estimation is a critical component of any data analysis process. It is the process of determining the uncertainty associated with a data set or measurement. By estimating the error associated with a data set, researchers and analysts can gain insight into the accuracy of their results, as well as the reliability of their conclusions.
Error estimation is typically conducted using either a mathematical formula or statistical techniques. Mathematical formulas are used to calculate the relative error associated with a data set. Statistical techniques use standard deviations or confidence intervals to estimate the uncertainty of a data set.
In this blog, we will discuss several frequently asked questions about error estimation.
Q: What is the difference between relative error and absolute error?
A: Relative error is the difference between the actual value of the measurement and the estimated value. It is often expressed as a percentage of the actual value. Absolute error is the difference between the actual value of the measurement and the estimated value. It is often expressed as an absolute value.
Q: How do I calculate relative error?
A: The formula for calculating relative error is: Relative error = (Estimated value – Actual value)/Actual value.
Q: How do I calculate absolute error?
A: The formula for calculating absolute error is: Absolute error = Estimated value – Actual value.
Q: How do statistical techniques help with error estimation?
A: Statistical techniques, such as the use of standard deviations or confidence intervals, are used to estimate the uncertainty of a data set. This allows researchers and analysts to gain insight into the accuracy of their results, as well as the reliability of their conclusions.
Q: What is the importance of error estimation?
A: Error estimation is a critical component of any data analysis process. By estimating the error associated with a data set, researchers and analysts can gain insight into the accuracy of their results, as well as the reliability of their conclusions. This allows them to make more informed decisions and better understand their results.
How to Prevent the Error in the Future
If you’ve encountered an error, it’s important to take the time to assess what went wrong and how it can be prevented in the future. Here are a few steps you can take to prevent the error from happening again:
1. Analyze the Error: Once you’ve encountered an error, take a step back and assess the situation. Make sure you understand what caused the error in the first place and what steps could have been taken to avoid it.
2. Test and Document: Once you’ve determined the cause of the error, it’s important to test your system to make sure the issue has been resolved. Documenting your findings and the steps you took to resolve the issue can also help you track the problem in the future.
3. Create a Process: Create a process to help ensure the error doesn’t occur again. This could be a checklist or a set of steps you take every time you complete a task. Having a process in place can help make sure you don’t make the same mistakes twice.
4. Monitor and Track: Monitor your system for any potential errors and track any changes you make. This can help you catch errors early and address them before they become a bigger problem.
By taking the time to analyze, test, document, create a process, and monitor and track your system, you can help ensure errors don’t occur in the future. Taking these steps can help you prevent the error from happening again and ensure a smoother overall process.
In conclusion, a blog is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas with the world. It can be a great way to express yourself, build relationships and even make a living. While there are many different approaches to blogging, the key is to find a style that suits you and to be consistent in your writing.

Celebrity Big Brother (British TV series) series 13
Celebrity Big Brother 13 was the thirteenth series of the British reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. The series launched on 3 January 2014 on Channel 5 and was originally meant to end after 22 days on 24 January 2014. However, it was extended due to ratings success and instead ended after 27 days on 29 January 2014, making it the longest Channel 5 series of the show (at the time, since beaten by Celebrity Big Brother 15) and the joint-longest series, along with Celebrity Big Brother 7 in 2010. It is the sixth celebrity series and the ninth series of Big Brother overall to air on the channel. Emma Willis returned to host the series, whilst Rylan Clark returned to present spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side along with Willis.
The series was won by comedian and presenter Jim Davidson, with rapper Dappy as runner-up.
Jasmine Waltz returned to the house for Celebrity Big Brother 19 as an All-Star, representing this series. She was second to be evicted.
Background

Celebrity Big Brother 12 housemate and former Loose Women panellist Carol McGiffin is head panellist on the show.
Sponsorship
The series sponsor was again casino website SuperCasino.
Bit on the Side scheduling
For the first time since it launched in 2011, spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side only aired six days a week, with Channel 5 opting not to renew the Sunday edition, which last year ran in a lunch-time time slot and was hosted by Clark. Bit on the Side aired Monday to Friday with Bit on the Psych remaining on Saturdays.
House
The official house pictures were released on 16 December 2013. The theme for the series is 'Russian Opulence' and features the same layout as Big Brother 14 and Celebrity Big Brother 12, with minor changes. The house has a high class upgrade featuring a grand fireplace and opulent surroundings along with the small hot tub used last series.
Launch night twist
On Day 1, Jim and Linda became the first handcuffed couple to enter the house. Upon entering, they were immediately called to the diary room where Big Brother disclosed that after all housemates had entered in handcuffed pairs, they would have the power to unlock one couple including themselves. When it came to the moment, they chose Dappy and Liz. However, as they were chosen to be unlocked, they would automatically face the first public vote as a pair.
Housemates
Twelve celebrities entered the house on Day 1.
Casey Batchelor
Casey Batchelor is a British glamour model and singer from Essex. She posed for various lads' magazines such as Nuts and Zoo. Casey is also a member of the little-known girl group Miss Millionaire. She entered the house on Day 1, being handcuffed to Lee Ryan before being released on Day 3 despite failing the tasks, resulting in her and Lee facing the first eviction together as a pair. On Day 6, both of them were fake evicted and moved into the secret Bolt Hole, where they watched their housemates for two days. They returned to the house on Day 8, during a live twist where they chose to evict Evander. During her time in the house, she developed a romance with Lee - unbeknownst to her, he was also involved with Jasmine. She finished in sixth place on the final night.
Dappy
Costadinos Contostavlos, better known by his stage name Dappy, is the lead singer of hip hop/grime trio N-Dubz with his cousin Tulisa. Dappy entered the house on Day 1 handcuffed to Liz Jones. However, as part of the Launch Night twist, they were then released from each other but automatically faced the first eviction as a pair. He finished in second place behind Jim Davidson in the final on Day 27.
Evander Holyfield
Evander Holyfield is a retired American professional boxer. He is a former Undisputed World Champion in both the cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions, earning him the nickname "The Real Deal". He also represented the U.S. in the 1983 Pan American Games and the 1984 Summer Olympics, winning silver and bronze medals respectively. He entered the house on Day 1, handcuffed to Luisa Zissman. On Day 2, Evander received a formal warning from Big Brother, after he said that gay people are not normal and can be fixed, during a conversation with Luisa. Ofcom later announced that they may launch an inquiry over Holyfield's comments. He and Luisa were released from their handcuffs on Day 3, but since they lost the immunity tasks, the two were automatically put up for the first eviction. Evander became the first housemate to be evicted from the house on Day 8, following a twist which involved Casey and Lee deciding who would be evicted out of him and Luisa.
Jasmine Waltz
Jasmine Waltz is an American model and actress from Las Vegas, Nevada, who had minor roles in films and television shows such as Femme Fatales and Secret Girlfriend. She entered the house on Day 1, being handcuffed to Sam Faiers. The two were freed from their handcuffs on Day 2. During her time in the house, she was known for her romance with Lee, and involvement in a love triangle between him and Casey. Jasmine was evicted from the house on Day 13. On Day 23, she returned as a guest for the "For Whom the Bell Tolls" task, where she confronted both Casey and Lee before leaving again shortly after. She later returned to compete in Celebrity Big Brother 19 as an "All star" housemate.
Jim Davidson
James Cameron "Jim" Davidson, is a British comedian, also known for presenting TV shows such as Big Break and The Generation Game. Jim was originally meant to be taking part in the eleventh series of the show, but was arrested hours before the launch by policemen working on Operation Yewtree. He was replaced by Neil "Razor" Ruddock. On Day 1, he entered the house handcuffed to Linda Nolan, before being released on Day 2. On Day 27, Jim was crowned the winner of the series.
Lee Ryan
Lee Ryan is a British singer, known as a member of the boy band Blue. He released his self-titled debut album Lee Ryan in 2006, which landed at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart and produced the singles "Army of Lovers", "Turn Your Car Around" and "When I Think of You". On Day 1, Lee entered the house, being handcuffed to Casey Batchelor. Despite failing the tasks, Lee and Casey were released from their handcuffs on Day 3. As a result, they both faced the first eviction as a pair. On Day 6, the pair were fake evicted and moved into the secret Bolt Hole where they watched their fellow housemates for two days. They returned to the house on Day 8 during a live twist, where they both chose to evict Evander. In the house, he was known for having a romance with Casey and Jasmine, prompting a love triangle. Lee was evicted on Day 24, in a live surprise eviction.
Linda Nolan
Linda Nolan is an English-Irish singer, best known for being a member of the girl group The Nolans. She is the older sister of the late Bernie Nolan and Celebrity Big Brother 10 runner-up Coleen Nolan. After leaving the group in 1983, she went on to perform in theatre productions including Prisoner Cell Block and Blood Brothers. She entered the house on Day 1, handcuffed to Jim Davidson. According to the Belfast Telegraph, she entered in an attempt to make a turn around from her personal struggles and living from the UK benefits system. Whilst in the house, Linda constantly argued with Jim. The two had years of history, when Linda's late husband Brian Hudson was caught red-handed stealing money from comic Frank Carson's dressing room in 1995. On Day 15, he was reminded by Davidson of his antics, promoting an eruption. She was evicted on Day 22.
Lionel Blair
Lionel Blair (born Henry Lionel Ogus) was a British actor, choreographer, tap dancer and television presenter, whose entertainment career has spanned for five decades. He appeared in films such as The Limping Man, The World of Suzie Wong, The Beauty Jungle, A Hard Days Night and The Plank. In addition, he was one of the team captains on the game show Give Us a Clue from 1979 until the early 1990s. On Day 1, Lionel entered the house, handcuffed alongside Ollie Locke. But after winning immunity on Day 3, the two were set free. On Day 15, he became the third person to be evicted from the house, losing out to the remaining housemates.
Liz Jones
Elizabeth "Liz" Jones is a British journalist and newspaper columnist, who was a former editor of Marie Claire magazine. Jones is a regular columnist for the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday. On Day 1, Liz entered the house, being handcuffed to fellow housemate Dappy. Following the launch night's twist and task, she and Dappy were later free from their handcuffs, but both were therefore automatically nominated to face the first eviction. On Day 20, she was evicted with the least amount of the public vote. Liz received a total of 20 nominations from each housemate, the second highest from Jim's 22 nominations.
Luisa Zissman
Luisa Zissman (born Louisa Christina Kalozois) is a British retail entrepreneur and reality television contestant, who was the runner-up on the ninth series of The Apprentice. She owns her own baking website, eBay electronic businesses and cupcake shop named Dixie's Cupcakery. On Day 1, Luisa entered the house, being handcuffed to Evander Holyfield. They were finally released from each other on Day 3, despite failing the tasks. As a result, they faced the first eviction as a pair. Luckily, she was saved from the vote. Whilst in the house, she came out as bisexual and revealed that she sought treatment for sex addiction. On Day 27, she was evicted from the house and finished in fourth place. After the series ended, she became a regular panelist on Big Brother's spin-off show Big Brother's Bit on the Side.

-- World on Track for Warmest Year on Record in 2010, U.S. Scientist Says
The current year may become the
warmest on record, according to a National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration scientist.
Temperature trends across the U.S. and around the world
have been among the warmest on record, said David Easterling, a
climatologist with NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in
Asheville, North Carolina.
“If the warming around the world continues the way it has
so far this year, we are likely to have 2010 be the warmest on
record,” Easterling said during a conference call on climate
change hosted by the Union of Concerned Scientists , in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The combined land and ocean temperatures around the world
were 1.22 degrees warmer than the 20th-century average, according
to NOAA records. Since 1975, global temperatures have been
rising and since 1960 the number of heat waves has been
increasing, Easterling said on the call.
Much of the U.S. Northeast has been gripped by a heat wave
that broke temperature records in New York, Washington and
Baltimore and brought 100 degrees or more to Newark four days in
a row.
Energy use has risen and utilities have asked customers to
curb their use to conserve power.
“We can’t say that one individual heat wave, or even two
heat waves, are due to global warming but what we can say is
that warming temperatures do increase the probability of a heat
wave,” Easterling said. “The current spate of heat waves could
be a harbinger of things to come.”

IPTC 7901
IPTC 7901 is a news service text markup specification published by the International Press Telecommunications Council that was designed to standardize the content and structure of text news articles. It was formally approved in 1979, and is still the world's most common way of transmitting news articles to newspapers, web sites and broadcasters from news services.
Using fixed metadata fields and a series of control and other special characters, IPTC 7901 was designed to feed text stories to both teleprinters and computer-based news editing systems. Stories can be assigned to broad categories (such as sports or culture) and be given a higher or lower priority based upon importance.
Although superseded in the early 1990s by IPTC Information Interchange Model and later by the XML-based News Industry Text Format, 7901's huge existing user base has persisted.
IPTC 7901 is closely related to ANPA-1312 (also known as ANPA 84-2 and later 89-3) of the Newspaper Association of America.
C0 control codes
The standard replaces several of the ASCII control codes:

New Mexico House votes to legalize marijuana | TheHill
The New Mexico House late Thursday voted to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes, a deal that could make the state the 11th in the nation to allow adults to consume the drug recreationally. The House passed the bill without any Republican votes, and several moderate Democrats also voted against the measure. But the bill’s prime sponsor, state Rep. Javier Martinez (D), said he had worked with three Republicans in the state Senate to craft a compromise, giving the bill a shot to pass this session. One Republican state senator, Cliff Pirtle, acted as an expert witness during the House debate over the bill. If adopted, the bill would create a legal sales regime similar to those in place in Washington and Colorado, the first states to legalize recreational marijuana for adults — with a few important differences. The bill would mostly create state-run marijuana stores, something that has not yet happened in other legalization states, a concession to Senate Republicans. Some private businesses would be allowed to sell marijuana for recreational purposes if no state-run store is operating nearby, according to the Albuquerque Journal. If passed, New Mexico’s legal marijuana regime would begin in the middle of next year. State budget analysts expect the legal market to generate at least $9 million in tax revenue during that first year of sales and as much as $90 million by the time the market is up to full speed in 2023. The state Senate has until March 16 to act on a bill. Pirtle told the Journal the Senate had “plenty of time” to act before the session expires. Gov. Michelle Lujan GrishamMichelle Lynn Lujan GrishamNew Mexico says EPA abandoned state in fight against toxic 'forever chemicals' Walmart to stop selling guns in New Mexico New Mexico governor to Nike after Arizona snub: 'Let's talk' MORE (D) has not weighed in on the bill itself, but during her campaign for office last year she said she would work with the legislature “to move towards legalizing recreational cannabis in a way that improves public safety, boosts state revenues and allows for New Mexico businesses to grow into this new market.” Anti-legalization activists said they hoped time would run out before the Senate could act. "This is no surprise as legalization bills have passed the New Mexico House before. The bill now heads to the Senate, where there already exists a legalization bill that still has to clear three committees before the session ends next Thursday. While the House has passed this bill, we are confident the Senate will see through the tactics of Big Tobacco and Big Pharma investors and put public health first,” said Luke Niforatos, a senior policy adviser at Smart Approaches to Marijuana, which opposes legalization. Only one other state, Vermont, has legalized recreational marijuana through the legislature, rather than through a ballot initiative. Several other states, including New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, are expected to debate their own legalization bills in the coming weeks or months. Ten states and the District of Columbia allow recreational marijuana sales. Updated at 9:30 a.m. View the discussion thread.

/*Project PutPixel01
The purpose of this project is to illustrate the most
fundamental aspects of writing code to control the
color of each individual pixel.
A window with dimensions of 256x256 is placed on the
screen. Nested for loops are used to set the value of
each pixel in the window. The color ranges from mid-
intensity blue in the upper left corner to yellow in the
bottom right corner.
The color of each pixel is changed directly on the screen.
As a result, the user can see the color of the pixels
change going from top to bottom down the window.
Changing the color depth from 32 to 16 causes the entire
window to be painted much more quickly.
Pressing any key causes the program to terminate.

Abdullah al-Samahiji
ʿAbdullāh ibn Ṣāliḥ al-Samāhījī (1675–1722) (عبد الله بن صالح السماهيجي) was a Bahraini Shia Islamic scholar who lived during the Safavid period. He was born in the village of Samaheej on Muharraq Island, and like many of his Bahraini contemporaries, he was a follower of the Akhbari theological school—although his father was a pure Usuli who detested Akhbaris. Among his teachers was Sulaymān ibn ʿAbdullāh al Maḥūdhī.
After the 1717 Omani invasion of Bahrain, as Samāhijī fled to Isfahan where he briefly served as the Sheikh ul-Islam. He then settled in Behbehan where he died in 1722.
Among his works is Munyat al Mumārisīn in Arabic, which includes an examination of the Akhbari-Usuli dispute.

Tinkering With TypeScript
In the spirit of David Wagner’s try { harder } talk on ‘the value of tinkering’ I decided to do a little tinkering with a new language from Microsoft called TypeScript.
TypeScript attracted me for three reasons. Its the new project from Anders Hejlsberg the creator of C#, it brings type safety to JavaScript and im a sucker for new technology.
TypeScript is basically a superset of Javascript much in the same way C++ is to C. So every single JS project is a valid TS project. This is good if you are familiar with JS already, you should be able to pick up TS fast and then get to grips with the other cool bits it bring.
TS compiles down to JS much in the same way that that JS target of Haxe compiles down to JS. Unlike Haxe however the generated code is much more readable and so although there is no integrated debugger (yet) you can just use Chrome’s developer console to debug with without too much pain.
Before I get too much more into the specifics of the language I want to mention the project I am tinkering with TS for. A while back I wrote an extension for Chrome called Chrome Crawler. It is a rather simplistic web crawler written in JS and released as a Chrome extension (because of the cross-domain scripting limitations with normal JS).
Over the intervening couple of years I have returned to the project on occasion with an idea to do a second version, however I never actually completed one. So I thought it may be nice if I gave it a go again but this time using TypeScript and at the same time see how it compares to the Haxe JS target.
Chrome Crawler v2 isnt ready for release but checkout the quick video I put together below to see how its coming along:
The original idea was to lay out the crawling in a left to right fashion. So each crawl depth is put in its own column, but as you can probably tell from the video above, things start getting a little unmanageable when you get to just level 3 of crawler depth. So I think im going to have to rethink how I display the nodes in the crawl graph. I have some ideas, but that’s going to have to wait until I return from my trip to NY next week.
More on that in later posts, lets take a look at a few key TypeScript features:
Typing
One of the key features of TypeScript is that it allows you to structure your code in a type-safe way. You can declare Classes, interfaces (inequivalent to typedef in Haxe) and modules as types then use them later.
TS also has structural typing so you can define a structure as part of a function or variable definition without first declaring a Class or Interface for it. For example:
This is great for many reasons but the big one for me is the way it assists tooling particularly when coupled with the excellent VisualStudio 2012 you get all the things you would expect such as intellisense, go to definition, find references and refactoring. For me it takes much of the pain out of the dynamic nature of JS.
As with AS3 and Haxe typing is optional. You can if you wish declare everything as “any” (dynamic in Haxe or * in AS3). Doing so however would forfeit many of the strengths of TS.
Like Haxe you can ‘define’ things as being available at runtime, this means you can reuse existing JS libraries without having to totally rewrite them in TS. By declaring an “interface” you can just tell the compiler that this type will exist at runtime (we did this with extern’s in Haxe) and thus you can use the existing library in a type-safe way. For example here is a definition for the Facebook SDK:
https://github.com/mientjan/typescript-facebook-definition/blob/master/facebook.d.ts
Alot of the type-safe TS stuff is familiar to me because of Haxe. I think some things in TS are nicer fit because its only designed to compile to JS unlike Haxe which can compile to many different languages. For example TS has function overriding baked into the language also strongly typed functions in my option are a little nicer:
[codesyntax lang=”text” lines=”normal”]
(index: any, domElement: Element) => any
[/codesyntax]
is a function type that takes in two params and returns anything (including void), its Haxe inequivalent:
[codesyntax lang=”text” lines=”normal”]
Dynamic -> Element -> Dynamic
[/codesyntax]
These things however are just my opinion, but it does tie nicely into one of my favourite features of TypeScript…
Lambda Functions
Lambda functions are basically syntactical sugar to anonymous function definitions so instead of:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
var fn = function(a, b) { return a+b; }
[/codesyntax]
You could write this as:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
var fn = (a, b) => a+b;
[/codesyntax]
Which is really nice when looping over arrays:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
var a = [4,2,1,6,5];
a.sort((a,b)=>a-b).forEach(i=>console.log(i));
[/codesyntax]
Because TS uses type-inference all the variables in the above are type safe. I really love how terse this syntax is and have had quite a few discussions about introducing it into Haxe.
There is one big difference between function() and lambda definitions however and that is the way they handle scoping of “this”.
For example take this example from the javascriptplayground.com blog post:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
$("myLink").on("click", function() {
console.log(this); //points to myLink (as expected)
$.ajax({
//ajax set up
success: function() {
console.log(this); //points to the global object. Huh?
}
});
});
[/codesyntax]
This is a common gotcha in JS coding and the usual solution is to do something like the following:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
$("myLink").on("click", function() {
console.log(this); //points to myLink (as expected)
var _this = this; //store reference
$.ajax({
//ajax set up
success: function() {
console.log(this); //points to the global object. Huh?
console.log(_this); //better!
}
});
});
[/codesyntax]
In TypeScript lambda functions “this” is scoped to the block in which the lambda was defined so the above can be written more simply as:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
$("myLink").on("click", function() {
console.log(this); // points to myLink (as expected)
$.ajax({
success: () => console.log(this); // points to myLink
});
});
[/codesyntax]
this.
One minor thing that does annoy be about TS is the necessity to put “this.” in front of every single member variable access. For example:
[codesyntax lang=”javascript” lines=”normal”]
class Crawler {
constructor(private url:string){}
crawl(){
console.log(url); // error
console.log(this.url) // okay
}
}
[/codesyntax]
Some may consider it rather minor but I find it annoying coming from a Haxe / AS3 / C# perspective where member variable access is implied. I guess the reasoning is because in JS if you dont supply a var before a variable declaration / usage you are referring to global scope, thus in that above example “console.log(url);” would be trying to log global.url which is undefined.
Tooling
The tooling support for TS is pretty good so far. Visual Studio has a plugin for the language and has reasonably good support. There is still quite a bit of room for improvement here however. Things such as integrated debugging, code generation for functions event handlers etc and source formatting would be nice.
Because the TS compiler is written in TS they are able to create really cool things such as the TypeScript Playground:
With it you can mess around with TS and see its generated JS as you type. It even includes a version of intellisese for that type-hinting goodness.
Conclusion
I must admit I really like TypeScript. It provides a light-weight layer over the top of Javascript giving just enough of the type-safe goodness and language enhancements without making it totally alien to a JS coder.
The generated JS looks very similar to the source TS (and will look even more so once ES6 is mainstream) which is important when you are trying to debug a problem. I discovered this to be an important point when developing the Haxe version of my Post To Tumblr chrome extension. Haxe although awesome tends to generate alot of alien looking JS making it tricky to work out where to put a breakpoint.
More important than any particular nuance of the language however is who is backing it. Microsoft is a huge company with a massive following of developers. It pays many people to work on the language and evangelise it. What this results in is a much bigger community. A bigger community means you have more questions asked on Stack Overflow, more API definitions written and more job positions specialising in the language. Also having Anders Hejlsberg, the father of C#, behind it you can be confident that the language will continue to develop in a manner that (if you are a C# fan) makes sense.
I have been having a whole lot of fun in TypeScript, and have high hopes for its future.

MySQL Error 1067 – Invalid default value for Date
You may have noticed that date columns’ default dates in legacy systems are 0000-00-00. The data cannot be changed, therefore you’ll have to accept it. But in the current versions, particularly on AWS RDS, you’ll get the following problem when you attempt to create a table with the same default value (i.e. 0000-00-00).
> 1067 – Invalid default value for ‘DateColumn’
> Time: 0.001s
Prior to version 5.6, MySQL accepted the default date of 0000-00-00, but now it accepts dates in the range of 1000-01-01 to 9999-12-31. Although MySQL allows either strings or numbers to be assigned as values to DATE columns, it displays date data in the ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ format.
In a similar vein, the permitted range for date-time data type is “1000-01-01 00:00:00.000000” to “9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999”.
The time zone range for a timestamp is from “1970-01-01 00:00:01.000000” to “2038-01-19 03:14:07.999999” UTC.
Let’s reproduce the error:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tbEmp;
CREATE TABLE `tbEmp` (
`employeeId` int NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
`firstname` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`middleName` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`lastName` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`businessPhone` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`businessEmail` varchar(228) DEFAULT NULL,
`JoinDate` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`EOSDate` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00’
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
> 1067 – Invalid default value for ‘EOSDate’
> Time: 0.001s
Solution:
The SQL mode that enforces the guidelines for transactional tables is the root of the problem. The server’s ability to accept the date ‘0000-00-00’ depends on the strict mode setting. The character ‘0000-00-00’ is allowed and inserts do not trigger a warning if strict mode is not activated. If strict mode is set, the characters “0000-00-00” are not allowed, and insertion fail unless IGNORE is also specified. ‘0000-00-00’ is allowed for the INSERT IGNORE and UPDATE IGNORE commands, and inserts result in a warning.
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tbEmp;
SET sql_mode = ”;
CREATE TABLE `tbEmp` (
`employeeId` int NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0’,
`firstname` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`middleName` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`lastName` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`businessPhone` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`businessEmail` varchar(228) DEFAULT NULL,
`JoinDate` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
`EOSDate` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT ‘0000-00-00’
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
This will succeed.

Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University
The Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University (คณะแพทยศาสตร์ มหาวิทยาลัยเชียงใหม่) is the third oldest medical school in Thailand located in Mueang Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai and is the first medical school in Thailand to be set up in a regional location outside Bangkok.
History
The need for increased medical personnel in Thailand rose rapidly and the country only had two medical schools at the time which was the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital and Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn Hospital of the University of Medical Sciences (now Mahidol University). Therefore, the University and the Ministry of Public Health proposed the construction of the Faculty of Medicine Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital which was to be set up to spread medical education to more regional parts of Thailand. This was done in 1954 and in 1956 involved cooperation with United States Overseas Missions (USOM), providing the funding, equipment and technology for the medical school. The organisation of the faculty was approved by the cabinet on 12 December 1956 and construction was ordered by royal decree of King Bhumibol Adulyadej on 28 October 1959.
Chiang Mai University was then founded in 1964 by royal decree and officially opened on 24 January 1965. On 16 March 1965, the Faculty of Medicine was moved from the University of Medical Sciences to Chiang Mai University and so became the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University.
As of the 2018 academic year, the Faculty of Medicine Chiang Mai University accepted 258 undergraduate students for the Medicine (MD) course.

Abstract
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) can be employed to monitor noninvasively and continuously local changes in hemodynamics and oxygenation of human tissues. A portable NIRS research-grade acquisition system, dedicated to measurements during muscular exercise, is presented. The instrument is able to control up to eight LED sources and two detectors. A digital correlation technique, implemented on a single-chip RISC microcontroller, performs source-to-detector multiplexing. Such algorithm is highly optimized for computational efficiency and ambient noise rejection. Software-configurable input stages allow for flexibility in instrument setup. As a result of the specific correlation technique employed, the instrument is compact, lightweight and efficient. Clinical tests on oxygen consumption show excellent performance.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Azamat Bagatov
The result was redirect to Borat with the option of merging well-sourced content. Vanamonde (Talk) 19:04, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Azamat Bagatov
* – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)
A year ago I tagged Azamat Bagatov as failing notability. Nobody has improved and a WP:PROD was removed. I tried my best just now to expand that article, adding a reception section, but I don't think there is enough out there to warrant keeping this. I did propose a merge but with 4 votes to merge and 2 to keep at Talk:Borat it was eventually declined. Given that, I think we need a trial by fire here. I think the 'analysis and reception' section I wrote could be merged (note it is not even about the character as much as about one popular scene that he shares with the main character anwyay); nothing else seems useful (plot summary already exists in the movie article). The sentence about why the actor refused to play in the sequel could be merged there (I note that there is a different explanation in the sequel than the one we have here). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 02:24, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:49, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
* Comment. Given the relist and no comments I'll ping registered editors who participated in the merge discussion: --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:39, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
* Keep. The first three citations include enough coverage that makes me think notability has been established. CT55555 (talk) 05:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
* The first three citations - that includes the Youtube clip ""Ali G + Borat - Dog Contest ( Super Funny )", currently #3 in the article? :P Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:28, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
* Since my comment, I think someone has added one in third place, so right now, I'm taking about citations 1, 2 & 4. CT55555 (talk) 04:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
* Thanks. The sources seem more about the actor, and/or are interviews with the actor about the role. It's all very ONEVENTish/PRIMARY (INTERVIEW)/plot summarish. And in the end it's mostly about the "wrestling match between butt-naked men" scene. One scene does not make a character notable, IMHO. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
* Merge I don't think the WP:GNG is met. The reception focuses on a scene from the movie and that would be an appropriate merge target. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
* Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
* Redirect to Borat. Not enough sources to warrant keeping this by itself. The little sources that are about it are really about Borat and not about the minor character. --Jamarast (talk) 09:54, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Occurs rather sparingly during the winter months.—(, Ibis, 1865,475.)
3.
This fine songster is a common resident, frequenting shady thickets and rarely seen in the open. In habits, it scarcely differs from the Eastern var. rufus, and the large number of nests found here were quite as well built as those found in Few England. The usual number of eggs is three, often two, more rarely four: the ground-color varies from greenish to reddish-white, more or less thickly sprinkled with reddish and brownish dots and spots. One set is sparingly covered with large clouded blotches, giving the eggs an appearance unusual in this genus. Fifty-two eggs average 1.08 by .82, the extremes being 1.13 by .86 and .97 by .75. In some adult specimens, there is a decided tendency to whitish tips to the outer tail-feathers, as in var. rufus.—(H. rufus longirostris,, B. Rio Grande, 3.)
4.
This Thrush is about as common as the preceding species, and is resident. They are not often seen together, however, as this bird prefers more open and sunny localities, especially sparse chaparral, where the prickly pear grows. Here it passes much of its time on the ground, running rapidly about in search of small land-shells and insects. I cannot confirm the praises of the song of this bird given by Couch and Heermann: it seems to me to be one of the most silent of the song Thrushes. Its alarm note is a sharp whit-whit. The nests are usually placed among the fleshy joints of the prickly pear, or in some of the many thorny and almost impenetrable bushes found in Southern Texas: they are often seen in the dense prickly hedges that surround most Mexican jacals. They are, as a rule, readily distinguishable from those of the Texas Thrasher and Mocking-bird by the almost invariable lining of yellow straws, giving a peculiar appearance to the nest. They are also more compactly built, are well cupped, and often have the edges well guarded by thorny twigs. The eggs are usually four in number: the ground-color is a deep greenish-blue (more rarely pale yellowish), rather sparsely sprinkled over the entire surface with very fine brown dots. They average 1.13 × .80: extremes 1.18 × .83 and .94 × .72.—(, Ibis, 1865, 482.—, B. Rio Grande, 4.)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/Archive/2018/March
North Dakota geography stubs
ND has 53 counties and one -geo- type for the whole state, used on 509 articles. May I create upmerged templates for counties whose -geo- cats contain stubs? Pegship (talk) 19:24, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
* Eventually I'd like to create upmerged county templates for Arizona (1,216 stub articles, 15 counties), Colorado (609 stub articles, 64 counties), Idaho (695 stub articles, 44 counties), Montana (658 stub articles, 56 counties), Nevada (631 stub articles, 17 counties), New Mexico (525 stub articles, 33 counties), Utah (718 stub articles, 29 counties), and Wyoming (493 stub articles, 23 counties). And that's just the Western United States... Also, does anyone know a way to automate stub tagging?? Pegship (talk) 23:16, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
New York mountain and hill stubs
Add Template:NewYork-mountain-stub, have it add pages using that template to Category:New York mountain and hill stubs, which would be a subcategory to Category:New York (state) geography stubs. Category:New York (state) geography stubs currently contains 153 pages of various geography-related subjects, so I think it would be nice to separate articles that are hills or mountains. Although I haven't counted precisely, it seems like hills and mountains make up about 3/5 of the category (that's roughly 90 pages), and others make up about 2/5 of the category (roughly 60 pages).--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 14:40, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
* Support - We don't seem to have a stub type for landforms other than rivers, and I have reun into areas where a -mountain- type would be extremely useful. Don't know if hills should be part of the name, but I bow to more experienced stubbers than myself on that. Pegship (talk) 17:44, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
* It puzzles me why we don't seem to have stub templates/categories for mountains. Have all the mountain articles been developed well beyond the stub level? Presumably not: so can we start with a general and only go to a more local level when we need to? It's normal to go top-down with stubs, rather than bottom-up. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 20:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
* Modified proposal Could we start with continent-level mountain stubs? Pegship (talk) 22:54, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
* I would fully support that. It was actually created in 2005; however, it kept getting deleted for some reason.--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 15:29, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
* At the time, the standard practice was to subdivide geographic areas by administrative regions (counties, provinces, etc.). The reasoning was that one could place stub articles about mountains into their location's -geo- stub category. River stubs make sense as rivers frequently cross administrative boundaries, and though I can see the previous logic in not creating mountain stub types, I don't have a problem with giving it a try. Pegship (talk) 16:24, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
* ✅. Should I now add mountain stubs for each continent? Mountains are a very large subject, so there are very likely thousands of stub pages related to mountains.--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 17:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
* I'm probably going to start creating mountain stubs for continents as soon as maybe 2 users approve of this.--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 20:17, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
* I've found and . I wouldn't have thought HK was big enough to have many mountains. -- Red rose64 🌹 (talk) 21:07, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
* I think those were created out of process by someone working on the HK-China articles. Pegship (talk) 01:23, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
* So, could someone please answer whether you think I should go again and create mountain stubs for each continent? ? ?--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 12:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
* Go for it. Pegship (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
* I will! Thanks for replying.--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 16:44, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
* ✅! Now I'm adding images to the stubs and adding the stubs to articles. Soon I will include these new stubs in the stub sorting.--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 18:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
* Before this gets underway, I suggest we change the category nomenclature to be consistent with other stub cats, to wit:
* --> rename as
* is fine
* --> rename as
* --> rename as
* --> rename as
* --> rename as
* --> rename as
* --> rename as
See for examples. Pegship (talk) 18:29, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
* ✅--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 20:54, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
* Would it be good to expand mountains to mountains, mountain ranges, and peaks? I've kind of already been doing this, but if this is approved I'll probably edit the stub templates to say this (e.g. Australia mountain, mountain range, or peak related vs Australian mountain related).--SkyGazer 512 talk / contributions / subpages 19:03, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
* If you mean the text that usually reads "This category is for stub articles relating to mountains in Australia" or the template text that reads "This Australian mountain related article is a stub", that seems okay to me. Pegship (talk) 22:27, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
