Martin Furlong
Martin Furlong (born 14 September 1946 in Tullamore, County Offaly) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for his local club Tullamore and was the first-choice goalkeeper at senior level on the Offaly county team from 1966 until 1985. Furlong is the only Offaly player to have won three All-Ireland SFC medals in 1971, 1972 and 1982. He also won an All-Ireland Minor Football Championship in 1964. He won the Texaco Footballer of the Year in 1982 after Offaly's All-Ireland SFC win.
In 1989 Martin moved from Clonminch, Tullamore to America following the request of him older brother Tom, to assist him in running his bar. Martin continues to live in New York, two of his sons live in America, one son and his only daughter returned to Ireland.
He was interviewed from his American base for the documentary Players of the Faithful.
In May 2020, the Irish Independent named Furlong as one of the "dozens of brilliant players" who narrowly missed selection for its "Top 20 footballers in Ireland over the past 50 years".

should be free from that inflammation, it may be before he could possibly return to him: but in case he found no ease, I wished him to come presently back again; if not, he might forbear coming. Thereupon he went; and at the instant I did put again the garter into the water, thereupon he found his master without any pain at all. To be brief, there was no sense of pain afterward; but within five or six dayes the woundes were cicatrized, and entirely healed." p. 6.
The king (James VI.) obtained from Sir Kenelm the discovery of his secret, which he pretended had been taught him by a Carmelite friar, who had learnt it in Armenia or Persia. Let not the age of animal magnetism and metallic tractors smile at the sympathetic powder of Sir Kenelm Digby. Reginald Scot mentions the same mode of cure in these terms: "And that which is more strange they can remedie anie stranger with that verie sword wherewith they are wounded. Yea, and that which is beyond all admiration, if they stroke the sword upwards with their fingers, the partie shal] feele no pain; whereas, if they draw their fingers downwards, thereupon the partie wounded shall feele intolerable pain." I presume that the success ascribed to the sympathetic mode of treatment might arise from the pains bestowed in washing the wound, and excluding the air, thus bringing on a cure by the first intention. It is introduced by Dryden in the Enchanted Island, a (very unnecessary) alteration of the Tempest.

Competing marches peaceful in Nicaraguan capital

Image 2 of 2 MANAGUA, Nicaragua – Simultaneous marches of supporters and opponents of President Daniel Ortega&aposs government passed through the streets of Nicaragua&aposs capital Saturday without incident. The larger of the two marches was in support of the Roman Catholic Church and its bishops who are trying to mediate a conflict that has carried on for more than three months and left at least 448 dead, according to a human rights organization. Marchers chanted on Saturday that the bishops had their support and urged Ortega to step down. In an anniversary speech for the victory of the Nicaraguan Revolution July 19, Ortega accused the Catholic Church of working with "coup plotters" for his ouster and even of allowing weapons to be stockpiled in their churches. Just days later his tone changed and he said he hoped the bishops would continue mediating a dialogue to end the conflict. Still, Ortega has refused to consider stepping down before elections scheduled for 2021. Seventy-year-old Nubia Torres said dialogue is worth a try, but said if Ortega was reasonable he would have already left office. "Dialogue is believed to be a way out, but not for people like Daniel Ortega," she said, adding that a military intervention similar to the removal of Manuel Noriega in Panama could be necessary. Most in the opposition fear that taking up arms against the government would be both futile and play into Ortega&aposs hands. Not far away, Ortega supporters carrying the red and black flag of the Sandinista Front marched behind trucks blaring songs praising the president. Roger Moncada, a 30-year-old accountant, echoed Ortega in calling the opposition "terrorists" and the three months of unrest a failed coup attempt. He accused human rights organizations of only blaming the government for the deaths. "The justice has to be even," he said. The Nicaraguan Pro-Human Rights Association said this week that 399 of dead had been identified and other evidence had been gathered to document the other cases. The vast majority of the dead have been demonstrators, it said. Police and paramilitary groups apparently working in coordination with authorities have been blamed for most of the violence. Moncada says that now that the police have cleared the protesters&apos roadblocks and are arresting their leaders, "the only way out is dialogue."

Instead of hard-coding in a check to scrape info from ifconfig based on a specific interface, do it in a more portable way.
This works really well if you switch between wired, wireless, bluetooth or even VPN connections. You can get your current IP in a script (since it'll be something like tun0 instead of eth0 or wlan1).
This uses a well known public ip address 8.8.8.8, but it doesn't actually connect to it, it just shows you the route it would take.

Little Me (musical)
Little Me is a musical written by Neil Simon, with music by Cy Coleman and lyrics by Carolyn Leigh. The original 1962 Broadway production featured Sid Caesar in multiple roles with multiple stage accents, playing all of the heroine's husbands and lovers. One of the better-known songs from the musical is "I've Got Your Number".
Background
The musical Little Me is based on the novel by Patrick Dennis titled Little Me: The Intimate Memoirs of that Great Star of Stage, Screen and Television/Belle Poitrine, an illustrated autobiography of an imaginary diva (published in 1961). In his memoir Rewrites: A Memoir, Neil Simon wrote that aside from tailoring the musical's book to the talents of Sid Caesar, the second attraction of the project was a chance to work with choreographer Bob Fosse. "With the exception of Jerome Robbins, for my money Fosse was the best choreographer who ever worked in the theater." (Simon and Caesar had worked together on the television variety program Your Show of Shows.)
Productions
Little Me opened on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on November 17, 1962 and closed on June 27, 1963, running for 257 performances. Directed by Cy Feuer and Bob Fosse with choreography by Fosse, Sid Caesar starred playing multiple roles, with Virginia Martin as Young Belle and Nancy Andrews as Old Belle. Barbara Sharma was a featured dancer in the show.
The London production opened at the Cambridge Theatre on November 18, 1964 and ran for 334 performances. Bruce Forsyth and Eileen Gourlay starred.
The 1982 revival at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre opened on January 21, 1982 and closed on February 21, 1982 after 30 previews and 36 performances. The multiple Caesar roles were split between Victor Garber and James Coco. The director was Robert Drivas and choreographer was Peter Gennaro, with Mary Gordon Murray as Belle; Bebe Neuwirth was in the ensemble.
Little Me was revived on the West End at the Prince of Wales Theatre, opening on May 30, 1984 and running for 409 performances. Russ Abbot and Sheila White starred.
Little Me was revived on Broadway by the Roundabout Theatre Company at the Criterion Center Stage Right as a vehicle for Martin Short, opening on November 12, 1998 and closing on February 7, 1999 after 99 performances and 43 previews. With direction and choreography by Rob Marshall, Faith Prince played the combined roles of Old and Young Belle. According to Rob Marshall: "Without Marty, we wouldn't do it. And we're fortunate that we still have Neil and Cy with us, and they'll be working with us and tailoring it for Marty."
Little Me ran in its original form with 42nd Street Moon in San Francisco in 2013, directed by Eric Inman and with choreography by Staci Arriaga. Lead actor Jason Graae was described as "stepping into the roles previously inhabited by two of the most versatile entertainers in Broadway and Hollywood history" and as having "boundless energy and a staggering level of comedic talent." In the same year, the play ran at the Rose and Crown Theatre, London. The musical was directed by Brendan Matthew, with choreography by Chris Whittaker and design by Chris Hone.
The New York City Center Encores! staged concert ran from February 5, 2014 to February 9, 2014, starring Christian Borle, Rachel York as Belle, Judy Kaye as Older Belle, and Harriet Harris as Mrs. Eggleston. The production was directed by John Rando with choreography by Joshua Bergasse.
Porchlight Music Theatre presented Little Me as a part of its "Porchlight Revisits" season in which they stage three forgotten musicals per year. It was in Chicago, Illinois in March 2017. It was directed by Artistic Director Michael Weber.
Plot
Note: This summary is based on the original Broadway production. The libretto was revised heavily for both of the subsequent revivals, with songs cut, added, or moved (most notably "Little Me").''
Belle Poitrine (née Schlumpfert) writes her autobiography with the help of Patrick Dennis ("The Truth"). As a child from Venezuela, Illinois, she lived in Drifter's Row, the poor side of town and dreamed of living on The Bluff, the rich part of town ("The Other Side of the Tracks"). Then she meets Noble Eggleston, from the "right" side of the tracks, and they feel an instant connection due to the presence of their "I Love You Theme" that plays whenever they touch. He invites her to his Sweet Sixteen party, and she agrees to go. At the party, Noble's friends all try to out-snob each other ("The Rich Kid Rag"). Noble's mother discovers that Belle lives in Drifter's Row and demands that Belle be sent away. Belle and Noble profess their love ("I Love You"), and Belle agrees to find wealth, culture, and social position to become equal to Noble so they can be together. She begins her journey, ignoring her friend George, who tells her it will only lead to her "getting kicked in the heart" ("The Other Side of the Tracks (Reprise)").
* Act I
Her first conquest is old, rich banker Mr. Pinchley, who is the "meanest, nastiest, and stingiest man in town" who refuses to help the poor. After Belle gets him to look at himself, Mr. Pinchley decides he no longer wants to be hated. Belle agrees to help him, and he wins the love of his son, and the citizens of Drifter's Row due to his generosity ("Deep Down Inside"). He shows her a gun, telling her that he was going to kill himself for his birthday, and that now, because of her, he won't. He asks Belle to marry him, and, as it will award her with wealth, culture, and social position, she accepts. When she gives him a hug, the gun accidentally goes off, killing him. Arrested and put on trial for murder, she meets theatrical producers Benny and Bernie Buchsbaum and they advise her to become a star ("Be a Performer"). With Noble (who is now attending Harvard and Yale) helping her, she is acquitted and becomes a famous vaudeville performer with her own signature number ("Dimples") and no talent.
Benny and Bernie fire her when they get a new star, and she is forced to become a camera girl at a club. There, she discovers Noble's mother is forcing him to marry Ramona, his wealthy friend. Devastated, she runs off. Then, the grand Val du Val makes his entrance and performs his sexually implicit song ("Boom-Boom") with his "Val du Val-ettes". Deciding she has nothing left to live for, she prepares to jump off the roof. Val du Val notices this and prevents her from jumping, and leaves her in the hands of the club's owner. The owner is revealed to be George, who charms her ("I've Got Your Number") and gets her pregnant.
At a party during World War I, she meets and marries near-sighted soldier Fred Poitrine, who mistakes her pregnant condition for excess weight ("Real Live Girl"). Fred is shipped off to France immediately after they marry, and soon dies in action from a serious digit wound after his finger gets caught in a typewriter. Belle has her baby and discovers that Noble is in trouble in France. She leaves the baby to her mother, quickly travels to France and, after failing to find Noble, stays to cheer up the troops with the help of some willing girls ("Real Live Girl (Reprise)"). She then finds Val du Val has been left by his lover and now has amnesia. Belle uses the "booms" of the cannons to help him remember ("Boom-Boom (Reprise)"). His memory returns and they decide to marry. However, Noble has also arrived and Belle decides to marry him instead. When Val returns, she informs him of this, but he believes she "jilted" him like his old girlfriend and loses his memory again. Remembering how Val saved her life, she marries Val and tells Noble she no longer loves him ("Finale Act I: Boom-Boom").
Five years later, Belle and Val sail on the SS Gigantic. She runs into Noble again, and, with the help of their "I Love You Theme", they reveal they still love each other. The boat hits an iceberg and Noble helps save the passengers while they reaffirm their love ("I Love (Sinking) You (Reprise)"). Discovering Belle loves Noble, Val du Val believes he has been "jilted" and loses his memory. He dies when he forgets how to swim, the only casualty of the sinking. This allows Belle to sue the boat company for the loss of her husband and luggage, and she successfully attains the wealth she had been seeking.
* Act II
Bernie and Benny ask her to fund their next movie with her enormous fortune, and she accepts both the charity and the lead role ("Poor Little Hollywood Star"). While looking for a producer, she meets the director Otto Schnizler ("Be a Performer (Reprise)"). As they shoot the movie, Otto shows an actor what to do with a stage knife but actually stabs himself. Belle finishes the movie herself, which is a huge critical failure. However, she receives a huge award for her role in the movie, meaning she has attained culture.
During The Great Depression, Ramona's family has lost all of their money, and Miss Eggleston forces her and Noble to divorce, leaving him free for Belle. Belle, meanwhile, is still in search of social position and determines to seek it in Europe ("Little Me").
Belle next journeys to Monte Carlo and meets Prince Cherney, the leader of a small, impoverished nation. He has a heart attack when he gambles his country's entire treasury and loses. He needs his hypodermic needle, but Belle gives him his fountain pen, leading him close to death. He and his many mourners make a huge deal out of it ("Goodbye (The Prince's Farewell)"), but Belle gives him part of her giant fortune to save his country. In his relief, he is restored to health, and in gratitude he makes her "Countess Zoftig" - she has attained social position. She then reveals that she had given him poisoned wine so he wouldn't suffer. The Prince suddenly dies, but Belle now has wealth, culture, and social position and can return to Noble. Noble, now governor of both North Dakota and South Dakota, agrees to marry Belle, and, in celebration, she suggests that he take a toast of champagne despite being a lifelong teetotaler. This causes him to become alcoholic, and he is impeached. Ashamed, he leaves Belle. Devastated, she returns to Baby and marries George, where they now live in The Bluff ("Here's to Us"). As Belle hosts a party ("Here's to Us"), George encounters Noble, now a drunken bum, outside their home. He encourages him to return to Belle, but Noble instead flees to find a way to regain himself.
After Belle finishes her story for the autobiography, Baby announces she and Noble Junior (whom Noble had while with Romona) are getting married. Patrick Dennis announces he is done with his research, but right then Miss Eggleston bursts in with a gun, intent on killing Belle for ruining her life and her son. She and Belle struggle with the gun, and it goes off just as Noble, newly sober, steps into the room. At first it appears Noble was shot, but then it is revealed that she shot George, who dies. Their "I Love You Theme" playing, Belle decides to marry Noble even though he no longer has wealth, culture, and social position and they all live happily ever after ("Finale Act II").
Note: As scripted, the same actor portrays Noble, Pinchley, Val, Fred, Schnizler, Prince Cherney and Noble Junior.

* Asphyxiate, perhaps? - But not mentioned specifically in the article, neither for suffocate. When a "fish-out-of-water" dies from lack of oxygen, it would be a form of asphyxiation - so, it's not really an antonym for "drowning"
* — Good question, however! (which doesn't necessarily mean there's a good answer) ~E:<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 03:13, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
* Strictly speaking, drown doesn't have an antonym. Asphyxiation or suffocation are broader terms that include drowning (drowning is merely suffocation in water) as a subcategory, and for life forms that extract oxygen from water rather than air, there is not (as far as I am aware) any term for that sort of death, so the broader terms (asphyxiation or suffocation) can be used in that case; those terms are not opposites because drowning is not a concept that opens itself to opposition (perhaps swimming is the opposite of drowning, but even that isn't very good). Antonymy as a concept only really works in words that come in clear binary pairs (good/evil, black/white, up/down, etc.) It doesn't work for words that don't come in such neat pairs, and "drowning" isn't part of such a pair. -- Jayron 32 04:58, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

* Maybe "corollary" or "analogue" to drowning. Here are some ideas on what to call it when a fish "suffocates" due to being taken out of the water. Keep in mid that fish can "drown" in water, if the water is insufficiently oxigenated. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 04:57, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Jeff Nichols will direct a remake of Alien Nation
Director Jeff Nichols is signing on to helm the remake of the 1988 science fiction movie Alien Nation, according to Deadline. The news comes as Nichols’ latest film, Loving, screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. The original Alien Nation takes place after a starship of enslaved aliens arrive on Earth and follows a xenophobic police officer who is partnered up with one of them. Directed by Graham Baker, the film spawned a spinoff TV series and five additional TV movies. In 2015, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway, the writers behind the first Iron Man film, signed on to write the screenplay. According to Deadline, Nichols will pick up the writing duties for the remake in addition to directing. Nichols is no stranger to science fiction: his film Midnight Special premiered earlier this year. With the original’s strong antiracist story, the new Alien Nation appears to be a perfect fit for the Nichols, whose film Loving follows an interracial couple attempting to get married in 1967 Virginia. No release date or cast for the film has been announced.

POW - Prisoner of War
Those who serve in the United States military are true American heroes. They risk their lives so that Americans can continue to enjoy their freedom. But war is a messy abomination. Men and women are sometimes captured and used as leverage. These everyday men and women are tossed into deeply stressful situations, not knowing if they will ever make it out. These men and women are known as POWs. And this is their history.
During the Revolutionary War, as many as 20,000 colonists were held as POWs, and as many as 8,500 died whilst in captivity. Perhaps the most famous POW is Francis Scott Key, author of The Star-Spangled Banner. During the War of 1812, Key was aboard a British vessel when he wrote it. America has the only national anthem that is penned by a POW. The Civil War had over 400,000 POWs between the Union and Confederacy, the most in any conflict in US Military history. The Spanish-American War saw less than a dozen American soldiers become POWs and were exchanged in about six weeks. In World War I, over 4,000 US Military soldiers become POWs. There were 147 confirmed POW deaths during WWI. World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War brought the darkest stories of POW internment. About 94,000 Americans were POWs in Europe, while 30,000 were POWs in the Pacific Theater. These POWs experienced overcrowded conditions and forced work, with those in the Pacific Theater facing a near 40 percent death rate for POWs. The Korean War resulted in over 7,000 American POWs. These soldiers experienced forced marches, brutal punishments, and even a political "re-education" by the North Koreans. During the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese saw captured American soldiers as political criminals, not POWs. As a result, these soldiers were treated very harshly. 766 Americans are known to be POWs during this war, and 114 died during their captivity. The torture of these American POWs in Vietnam was common. During the Persian Gulf War, 23 Americans were made POWs. These men and women experienced physical abuse during their captivity. Thankfully all 23 soldiers were returned to the United States.
MIA - Missing in Action
All wars have one thing in common: men and women don't return home. Families of soldiers that are killed in action are informed, but families of MIA soldiers never know why their loved ones never returned home. The sad truth is that there are over 81,000 Americans that are still MIA. Those numbers broken down are 72,000 coming from WWII, 7,500 from the Korean War, 1,500 from Vietnam, 126 from the Cold War, and 6 from conflicts since 1991. Not much information is known about why these numbers are still so high, there is still much demand to lower this number, and MIA families want answers.
POW and MIA soldiers know what it means to have their freedom taken away. These men and women have gone through hell and deserve respect. So next time you see the POW/MIA flag, remember those who have been stripped of their freedom to protect yours and those who still have not returned home.

What is Tartar and How to Prevent Them?
In one of your visits to your dentist, I am sure you have heard him mention the word tartar a couple of times. A lot of people know that not brushing teeth and eating sugary foods will lead to dental decay. The big question however is how does not brushing teeth lead to dental decay? To understand the entire dental decay process, we have to look at what tartar is, where it comes from and why it is a threat to your teeth and oral health at large.
What is Tartar?
Tartar is as a result of plaque accumulating and hardening over a long period of time. Plaque is a sticky deposit which arises from food particles accumulating around teeth and is a prime hub for the proliferation of bacteria which can be dangerous to teeth and general oral health. However much you clean your teeth or floss after meal, there are crevices and certain corners in the mouth that your toothbrush or floss will not quite reach and this is where plaque starts building up. Plaque builds up in the margins and spaces between teeth and gums and over time, it hardens and becomes tartar which is even harder to get rid of.
The tartar builds up under the gum and causes gingivitis where the gums are swollen, red and will bleed when you are brushing your teeth. This is the first sign that you have large tartar deposits in your mouth and you should get the same professionally removed by a dentist.
Threats of tartar
Tartar in teeth is no child’s play. Once tartar forms, it can be more difficult to brush and floss your teeth effectively. The acids released by the bacteria in your mouth are more likely to break down your tooth enamel. That leads to cavities and tooth decay – one of the most common health complaints in the world. Tartar that develops above the gum line can be especially serious. That’s because the bacteria it harbours can irritate and damage gums.
Over time, this inflammation can lead to progressive gum disease, which can have serious consequences if left untreated. The mildest form of gum disease is called gingivitis. This is the initial stages of gum inflammation caused by the presence of plaque and tartar on the teeth. Gingivitis can usually be stopped and reversed with careful brushing, flossing, and regular cleaning by dental professionals.
If tartar is not removed and gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress into a more serious form of gum disease known as periodontitis, whereby pockets form between the gums and teeth. Those pockets become infected by bacteria beneath the gums. The body’s immune system releases chemicals to fight the bacteria, which, along with the substances the bacteria release, can damage the bone and other tissues that hold the teeth in place. This can ultimately lead to tooth loss and bone degradation. In addition, studies have shown that bacteria in gum disease may contribute to heart disease and other conditions. Sounds scary doesn’t it? Well, luckily enough you can control this before it goes overboard. Here are important tips to help you get rid of tartar and stay safe
Clean your teeth properly
Don’t just brush your teeth for the sake of it. Brush your teeth properly using the appropriate toothbrush. Opt for a toothbrush with soft bristles and is small enough to reach all the areas of your mouth. Brush thoroughly and clean your tongue as well. Make sure that you floss immediately after every meal as well. Flossing gets rid of the remnants that your toothbrush simply can’t reach. Flossing will prevent the development of tartar and render your mouth clean.
Watch your diet as well. Sugary foods provide nourishment to the bacteria in the mouth. The bacteria are part of the tartar and will affect your teeth. Make sure that you properly rinse your mouth with clean water after every meal. Water flushes the food remnants hence minimizing the chances of tartar building up.
Avoid alcohol and smoking as well. They have been found to accelerate the hardening of plaque and hardening of tartar. People who smoke or use tobacco products for example are more likely to develop dental calculus on their teeth more than people who don’t.
Visit a dentist and get the dental tartar professionally removed. Once tartar has formed, it is important to realize that only a dental professional will be able to remove it. Make sure you visit your dentist or hygienist regularly as advised by your dentist to remove any tartar that might have formed and prevent further complications.
If you are in Katy and are struggling with tartar and are looking for the best family dentists to help you get rid of the tartar, look no further than Vita Dental care. We have the best equipment and professional dentists who will work tirelessly to ensure that your mouth is clean and free from tartar. Make the call today and stay clear of tartar.

pamshadedrelief - Man Page
generate shaded relief image from an elevation map
Synopsis
pamshadedrelief
[-gamma g]
Description
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamshadedrelief creates a shaded relief image from an elevation map. A shaded relief image is a visual image of terrain, showing the terrain as if illuminated by oblique light and viewed from above, so that the brightess of each spot depends upon its slope. A common example of a shaded relief image is a relief map of the Earth, which shows mountains and valleys.
The image pamshadedrelief creates is as if illumated by a light source from the left.
The output image is a PAM with tuple type GRAYSCALE.
The program pamcrater is a good thing to use to demonstrate the function of pamshadedrelief. It generates a terrain map of a cratered landscape.
$ pamcrater | pamshadedrelief | pamx
Options
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ), pamshadedrelief recognizes the following command line option:
-gamma factor
-g factor
The specified factor is used to gamma adjust the image in the same manner as performed by pnmgamma. The default value is 1.0, which results in a medium contrast image. Values larger than 1 lighten the image and reduce contrast, while values less than 1 darken the image, increasing contrast.
Note that this is separate from the gamma correction that is part of the definition of the PAM GRAYSCALE format. The image pamshadedrelief generates is a genuine, gamma-corrected PAM GRAYSCALE image in any case. This option simply changes the contrast and may compensate for a display device that does not correctly render PAM GRAYSCALE images.
Design Notes
The-gamma option isn't really necessary since you can achieve the same effect by piping the output from pamshadedrelief through pnmgamma. However, pamshadedrelief performs an internal gamma map anyway in the process of rendering the elevation array into the PAM GRAYSCALE format, so there's no additional overhead in allowing an additional gamma adjustment.

THC isomers and reactions products, CBN, Delta 8, 9 and 10, HHC
by brblog on November 8, 2018
THC Oxidation to CBN
CBN is the oxidative degradation product of THC. It is more stable than THC due to its conjugated structure.
THC Delta 9arrowCBN -New double bonds-Hydrogens lost here
THC- Delta 9 CBN –New double bonds-Hydrogens lost here
The change is the aromatization of the top ring. 4 hydrogen atoms are lost, and two new double bonds are formed. Creating a double bond where there were hydrogens is an oxidation process, where as adding hydrogens to a double bond is a reductive process. Radical oxygen is responsible for the atmospheric degradation of THC to CBN. There are other chemical processes to synthesize CBN from THC as well.
THC Reduction to HHC
THC Delta 9arrowHexahydrocannabinol (HHC)
THC Delta 9 Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC)
Hexahydrocannabinol has a saturated (full hydrogen capacity, no double bonds) top ring. In this sense, it is the opposite of CBN. CBN is oxidized THC and HHC is reduced THC.
THC Delta 9 Isomerization to Delta 8 and Delta 10
THC Delta 8
THC Delta 8, Double Bond is between 8 and 9
Delta-9, the most common and the natural form of THC, is actually the least stable.
Delta 8 has the double bond in a more thermodynamically stable position, and delta 10 even more so due to its conjugation with the bottom aromatic ring.

• Informative.
Only part that seems off is this “CBN is oxidized THC and HHC is reduced THC”
Is it still even Thc with a hydroxy group instead of a methyl group at the 11? ??
• Oops, that is definitely a different molecule than I meant to show. There should just be that methyl group on the top ring and not the hydroxy. Thanks!
• It would definitley be a diol of some sort..
• Sounds interesting.
• […] [7] THC isomers and reactions products, CBN, Delta 8, 9 and 10, HHChttps://brinstrument.com/blog/cannabis-distillation/thc-isomers-and-reaction-products/ […]
• I learned in Biology that delta 9 THC is the only one that breaks down in your system without leaving free radicals and that all other thc is basically giving everyone cancer.
• I don’t think that is true. At least the part about radicals.
CBN is so stable, that is how we know when ancient people used THC. And THC is physiologically safe enough that a lethal dosage is not measurable (in rats).
Now if you want to talk about side products that people are not properly removing or more exotic and unstudied isomers, then I might agree with you.
Check this out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HU-331
As with many “medicines”, dosage is key! It might even kill cancer, but that doesn’t make it good for you!
It comes back to the fact that we need to do way more research!
-Luke
• Considering that natural marijuana is one of the oldest drugs on the planet in use by humans, I’d say that if the studies haven’t been done yet that perhaps I wouldn’t trust the studies done now Considering the harmful effects of propaganda on the human mind and the human belief that studies haven’t yet been done, more likely that the studies have indeed been done but only not written in a form easily manipulated by those who do not wish for the truly therapeutic effects of marijuana. But hey believe what you want, some people believe in Jesus, or unicorns, or dragons.
• Is Delta-8 thc hetzelfde als CBN?
• there is an effective, standard SOP for thc conversion to cbn in large scale?
• Define “large”. Several Kg, yes there are people doing it. Hundred’s of Kg, no, and I don’t think there is enough demand to warrant that kind of production either.
-Luke
• Can Delta 8 be reduced to delta 9
what is the processes for hhc cbn to thc reduction? If so catalysts?
• If it could, I think it would probably be too expensive to be worth it for any kind of usage.
If you are talking about from CBD starting material, D9 is a step along the way to D8. You need to have special conditions and stop the reaction at the right time.
Those are million dollar questions. I honestly don’t know, but probably like Ni/Pd/Pt on carbon.
-Luke
• There seems to be a huge push to demonize and scare-monger about the process to create D8. The latest are claims that there are large amounts of potentially harmful stereoisomers created along with the Delta-8, and since these have not been tested, they claim a huge risk. Most recently I was shown a link from 3-Chi (producer and seller of alternative cannabinoids) that links to a Lab report from Boulder that alleges untested and illegal isomers along with the Delta-8. I am extremely skeptical of these claims, but don’t have any solid basis other than the fact that they are equating the unknown to a risk. My anecdotal experience has been that it is more stable, consistent, and medically viable than D9, and over the last year or so, there has been a huge public experiment and I have yet to hear of significant issues of any kind. I also realize that this is still anecdotal. Do you have any data to help debunk the fear?
• The whole situation legally and scientifically is very gray right now. And I will lead with that no I don’t have data.
The biggest insight I can offer is that many of these processing labs are not properly equipped for their own safety, let alone yours. I have been in many labs and seen the grass on both sides.
Similar to the black market for flower, smoking a single joint containing pesticides is not going to have long term consequences. Constant or regular exposure is an entirely different story though. I think that while over-regulation will kill the small players, some regulation is definitely needed. Has anybody died or developed serious complications in the past two years? Not that anyone can prove. But kick the can down the road 10 years of using once or more a day and we may be able to better correlate medical conditions with usage.
• Perhaps the best debunked is the question “Have there been any deaths attributed to delta 8,9,10,etc.???”. Now many current over the counter drugs are extremely dangerous, but nobody seems worried about nsaids and pop those things like tictacs. The big fear for whatever reason is “Will it get you high?” and that appears to be the long and the short of it. I enjoy it and it makes me happy, why on earth would you be so concerned about weed when alcohol is legal??? Alcohol unlike any weed product is directly attributable to the deaths of many people worldwide yet alcohol is somehow of less concern.
• Heya,
Do you think its possible to convert CBD to CBND with just heat and oxygen? (Similar to converting THC to CBN)
• Maybe.
The first problem is getting a good yield. THC + Heat Oxygen does not yield a high amount of CBN for example. Most of the lost THC goes to unwanted byproducts. The second problem is getting a proper analysis done. CBND is definitely not on the standard 10. And if you do find a lab that tests for it at all, the numbers may not be very accurate.

• Has anyone observed what D8 dose eventually degrade into, I have heard allot of people say D8 degrades to D9. But I cant find any evidence to back that up, I think they may have just got it backwards what are your thoughts?
• What can D8 be converted to and how is Thc P Thc O made ?

What Is Locomotor Play?

Locomotor play consists of any activities that move the body from place to place. For children, locomotor play helps develop fundamental movement skills, including walking, running, hopping, galloping, skipping, jumping, side-skipping and leaping, according to Great Schools. Practice with these skills encourages the development of coordination required for sports and fitness activities.
Locomotor skills are part of the gross motor skills development essential to human development. Gross motor skills use the body's large muscles. Children need to play and exercise to practice and develop their skills in running and jumping for both fitness and brain development. Child development generally follows a predictable pattern, with most children developing the same skills in the same order as they grow, explains About.com. Muscle development and coordination occurs first in the large muscles, then in the small. Development begins in the core of the body and then starts in the extremities, and it moves from the top of the body down to the feet. Generally, children learn skills in the same order, walking by about age 1, running, hopping and jumping at 2, jumping and skipping at 3, and at 5, galloping, side-skipping and leaping. Though every child is different, a serious delay in gross motor skill development can indicate that there is a developmental problem.

Medal of Honor recipient victim of assault – CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs
By Larry Shaughnessy Dakota Meyer, one of America's most-recent Medal of Honor recipients, was the victim in an altercation that left him with minor injuries, Kentucky authorities said Thursday. Meyer was taken to Westlake Hospital early Sunday morning after a scuffle at the Red Barn Event Center near his home in Columbia, according to Trooper 1st Class Billy Gregory of Kentucky State Police. Meyer, 24, was treated and released. There was no word on what instigated the incident. State police Thursday arrested 18-year-old Kanissa'a Thompson of Columbia and charged him with second-degree assault. The Event Center, located in a dry county in south-central Kentucky, was hosting a party celebrating nearby Lindsey Wilson College women's soccer national championship. In September 2011, President Barack Obama awarded Meyer the nation's highest military decoration for risking his life to save 36 U.S. and Afghan troops caught in a blistering firefight. Meyer was promoted to sergeant before he left the Marines. CNN attempted to contact Meyer through his book publisher, but had not received a response late Thursday afternoon.

nydus-protocol
nydus-protocol
Encoder/decoder for nydus, a simple RPC/PubSub protocol designed for use over WebSockets.
Build Status NPM
NPM
Usage
import protocol from 'nydus-protocol'
protocol.decode(str)
Decode a string into an object corresponding to a nydus message. All decoded objects will have a type field describing their message type (see below). Other fields that may exist are:
• data - a data payload for the message
• id - a unique ID representing this call/response
• path - a HTTP-like path representing a particular resource
If the message is not valid, a PARSER_ERROR message will be returned.
protocol.encode(type, data = undefined, id = undefined, path = undefined)
Encode an object into a packet string. The object must have a type field describing its message type, as well as other fields depending on what type of message it is (see below). All expected fields are named as in the documentation below. This method is very permissive, and will not cause errors if a message is formatted incorrectly (but such a message will usually result in a disconnect if a server receives it, so beware).
protocol.protocolVersion
The protocol version of this module. This number will increase as the protocol changes, and is used in WELCOME messages.
protocol.WELCOME
protocol.INVOKE
protocol.RESULT
protocol.ERROR
protocol.PUBLISH
protocol.PARSER_ERROR
Message types, which will be passed in the type field of decoded messages.
Protocol
Nydus is designed to be a very simple protocol, with distinct roles for clients and servers. Certain messages are only valid client -> server or server -> client. The basic idea is to allow both clients and servers to route messages based on URL patterns. Clients can make RPCs to servers (via INVOKE), and receive a direct RESULT or ERROR in response. Servers can PUBLISH events on the fly to clients.
Clients do not communicate to the server which PUBLISH channels they are interested in; it is up to the server to manage this list if it desires. One common way to do this would be in response to an RPC, but it can also simply resort to over-publishing. Similarly, servers do not communicate to clients which paths form valid RPCs. It is up to the server to properly reply to clients with an ERROR if they INVOKE an invalid path.
Messages themselves are formatted in a simple string format:
<type>[$<id>][~<path>]|[data]
Each part of the message (except for the initial type) is prefixed by a character signaling which section it is. All sections other than type and data are optional (and data need not contain any actual data).
type can be:
• 0 - WELCOME
• 1 - INVOKE
• 2 - RESULT
• 3 - ERROR
• 4 - PUBLISH
id is a string of 1-32 characters, matching /^[A-z0-9-]+$/. It should be unique for all of the current INVOKEs in flight between a client and server.
path is a HTTP-like path (e.g. /hello/there), URL-encoded.
data is, if present, JSON-encoded. The underlying data may be any type (object, array, string, etc.).
WELCOME
Sent by the server to the client when the client connects. protocolVersion should be sent as the data. id and path must not be present.
0|3
=> { type: WELCOME, data: 3 }
INVOKE
Invokes a remote procedure on the server (only valid client -> server). id should be set to an ID unique for all the current INVOKEs in flight between this client and server. path should be a URL-encoded path to the RPC the client wishes to invoke. data should be any necessary arguments for the RPC.
1$asdf1234~/say%20hello|{"to":"everyone"}
=> { type: INVOKE, id: 'asdf1234', path: '/say hello', data: { to: 'everyone' } }
RESULT
A non-error result from an INVOKE. This must only be sent from the server to the client in response to an INVOKE. id should match the INVOKE this is a response to. data should contain any results from the RPC. path must not be set.
2$asdf1234|"done"
=> { type: RESULT, id: 'asdf1234', data: "done" }
ERROR
An error result from an INVOKE. This must only be sent from the server to the client in response to an INVOKE. id should match the INVOKE this is a response to. data should contain any details about the error that occurred. path must not be set.
3$asdf1234|{"status":404,"message":"Not found"}
=> { type: ERROR, id: 'asdf1234', data: { status: 404, message: 'Not found' } }
Error format is not enforced by Nydus, but a common convention is to utilize HTTP error codes and messages, along with an optional body, i.e.:
{
status: 418,
message: 'I\'m a teapot',
body: {
reset: true,
}
}
PUBLISH
Publish an event to a client (only valid server -> client). path should be set to a path identifying the resource to which the event pertains. data should be set to the event data. id must not be set.
4~/chat|{"message":"hello"}
=> { type: PUBLISH, path: '/chat', data: { message: 'hello' } }

The role of laser marking machine
Laser marking technology in recent years, more and more applications in the field of printing and laser marking can be applied to include plastic and rubber, metal, silicon and other materials. With the traditional laser marking machine engraving, chemical etching, screen printing, printing ink than with low cost and high flexibility, can control computer system, and laser acting on the workpiece surface generated by the tag strong permanent is its outstanding characteristic.
Laser marking compared with has the following advantages:
Permanent: 1.
Such as tag will not by environmental relations (touch, acid and gas, high temperature, low temperature reduction, etc.) and fade.
2. The rubber seals:
With laser marking technology, fashioned out of generic and not easy to change, to a certain extent, has a strong security.
3. The non-contact:
Laser engraving laser scalpel “other than mechanical processing, can be in any regular or irregular surface printing tags, won’t produce internal stress and marking after the workpiece, the original precision of workpiece. Do not produce corrosion on the surface of a work, no “tool” wear, non-toxic, no pollution, no high risk factor of safety.
4. Wide applicability:
The use of lasers in processing means, to a variety of metals, non-metallic materials (aluminum, copper, iron, wood, etc.) processing.
5. High precision carving:
Laser marking machine engraving items texture fine, minimum line width up to 0.04 mm. Mark clear, durable and beautiful. Laser printed label can meet the minimum needs of huge amounts of data can be printed on the plastic parts. Printing requirements, for example, more accurate, higher resolution of the two dimensional barcode, compared with the embossing or jet marking way, have stronger market competitiveness.
6. Low operating costs:
Marking speed and a forming, small energy consumption, and low operating cost. Although laser marking machine equipment investment than traditional equipment is big, but in terms of operating costs, using a laser marking machine is much lower.

Sears Roebuck and Company v. Mackey/Opinion of the Court
This action, presenting multiple claims for relief, was brought by Mackey and another in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, in 1953. The court expressly directed that judgment be entered for the defendant, Sears, Roebuck & Co., on two, but less than all, of the claims presented. It also expressly determined that there was no just reason for delay in making the entry. After Mackey's notice of appeal from that judgment to the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, Sears, Roebuck & Co. moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction. The Court of Appeals upheld its jurisdiction and denied the motion, relying upon 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291 and Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended in 1946, 28 U.S.C.A. 218 F.2d 295. Because of the importance of the issue in determining appellate jurisdiction and because of a conflict of judicial views on the subject, we granted certiorari. 348 U.S. 970, 75 S.Ct. 535, 99 L.Ed. 755. For the reasons hereafter stated, we sustain the Court of Appeals and its appellate jurisdiction.
Although we are here concerned with the present appealability of the judgment of the District Court and not with its merits, we must examine the claims stated in the complaint so as to consider adequately the issue of appealability.
The complaint contains six counts. We disregard the fifth because it has been abandoned and the sixth because it duplicates others. The claims stated in Counts I and II are material and have been dismissed without leave to amend. The claim contained in Count III and that in amended Court IV are at issue on the answers filed by Sears, Roebuck & Co. The appeal before us is from a judgment striking out Counts I and II without disturbing Counts III and IV, and the question presented is whether such a judgment is presently appealable when the District Court, pursuant to amended Rule 54(b), has made 'an express determination that there is no just reason for delay' and has given 'an express direction for the entry of judgment.'
In Count I, Mackey, a citizen of Illinois, and Time Saver Tools, Inc., and Illinois corporation owned by Mackey, are the original plaintiffs and the respondents here. Sears, Roebuck & Co., a New York corporation doing business in Illinois, is the original defendant and the petitioner here. Mackey charges Sears with conduct violating the Sherman Antitrust Act in a manner prejudicial to three of Mackey's commercial ventures causing him $190,000 damages, for which he seeks $570,000 as treble damages. His first charge is unlawful destruction by Sears, since 1949, of the market for nursely lamps manufactured by General Metalcraft Company, a corporation wholly owned by Mackey. Mackey claims that this caused him a loss of $150,000. His second charge is unlawful interference by Sears, in 1952, with Mackey's contract to sell, on commission, certain tools and other products of the Vascoloy-Ramet Corporation, causing Mackey to lose $15,000. His third charge is unlawful destruction by Sears, in 1952, of the market for a new type of carbide-tipped lathe bit and for other articles manufactured by Time Saver Tools, Inc., resulting in a loss to Mackey of $25,000. Mackey combines such charges with allegations that Sears has used its great size to monopolize commerce and restrain competition in these fields. He asks for damages and equitable relief.
In Count II, Mackey claims federal jurisdiction by virtue of diversity of citizenship. He incorporates the allegations of Count I as to the Metalcraft transactions and asks for $250,000 damages for Sears' wilful destruction of the business of Metalcraft, plus $50,000 for Mackey's loss on obligations guaranteed by him.
In Count III, Mackey seeks $75,000 in a common-law proceeding against Sears for unlawfully inducing a breach of his Vascoloy commission contract.
In Count IV, Time Saver seeks $200,000 in a common-law proceeding against Sears for unlawfully destroying Time Saver's business by unfair competition and patent infringement.
The jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals to entertain Mackey's appeal from the District Court's judgment depends upon [[United States Code/Title 28/Chapter 83/Section 1291|28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291, which provides that 'The courts of appeals shall have jurisdiction of appeals from all final decisions of the district courts of the United States * * * .' (Emphasis supplied.)
If Mackey's complaint had contained only Count I, there is no doubt that a judgment striking out that count and thus dismissing, in its entirety, the claim there stated would be both a final and an appealable decision within the meaning of § 1291. Similarly, if his complaint had contained Counts I, II, III and IV, there is no doubt that a judgment striking out all four would be a final and appealable decision under § 1291. The controversy before us arises solely because, in this multiple claims action, the District Court has dismissed the claims stated in Counts I and II, but has left unadjudicated those stated in Counts III and IV.
Before the adoption of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in 1939, such a situation was generally regarded as leaving the appellate court without jurisdiction of an attempted appeal. It was thought that, although the judgment was a final decision on the respective claims in Counts I and II, it obviously was not a final decision of the whole case, and there was no authority for treating anything less than the whole case as a judicial unit for purposes of appeal. This construction of the judicial unit was developed from the common law which had dealt with litigation generally less complicated than much of that of today.
With the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, there came an increased opportunity for the liberal joinder of claims in multiple claims actions. This, in turn, demonstrated a need for relaxing the restrictions upon what should be treated as a judicial unit for purposes of appellate jurisdiction. Sound judicial administration did not require relaxation of the standard of finality in the disposition of the individual adjudicated claims for the purpose of their appealability. It did, however, demonstrate that, at least in multiple claims actions, some final decisions, on less than all of the claims, should be appealable without waiting for a final decision on all of the claims. Largely to meet this need, in 1939, Rule 54(b) was promulgated in its original form through joint action of Congress and this Court. It read as follows:
'(b) Judgment at Various Stages. When more than one claim for relief is presented in an action, the court at any stage, upon a determination of the issues material to a particular claim and all counterclaims arising out of the transaction or occurrence which is the subject matter of the claim, may enter a judgment disposing of such claim. The judgment shall terminate the action with respect to the claim so disposed of and the action shall proceed as to the remaining claims. In case a separate judgment is so entered, the court by order may stay its enforcement until the entering of a subsequent judgment or judgments and may prescribe such conditions as are necessary to secure the benefit thereof to the party in whose favor the judgment is entered.'
It gave limited relief. The courts interpreted it as not relaxing the requirement of a 'final decision' on each individual claim as the basis for an appeal, but as authorizing a limited relaxation of the former general practice that, in multiple claims actions, all the claims had to be finally decided before an appeal could be entertained from a final decision upon any of them. Thus, original Rule 54(d) modified the single judicial unit theory but left unimpaired the statutory concept of finality prescribed by § 1291. However, it was soon found to be inherently difficult to determine by any automatic standard of unity which of several multiple claims were sufficiently separable from others to qualify for this relaxation of the unitary principle in favor of their appealability. The result was that the jurisdictional time for taking an appeal from a final decision on less than all of the claims in a multiple claims action in some instances expired earlier than was foreseen by the losing party. It thus became prudent to take immediate appeals in all cases of doubtful appealability and the volume of appellate proceedings was undesirably increased.
Largely to overcome this difficulty, Rule 54(b) was amended, in 1946, to take effect in 1948. Since then it has read as follows:
'(b) Judgment Upon Multiple Claims. When more than one claim for relief is presented in an action, whether as a claim, counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party claim, the court may direct the entry of a final judgment upon one or more but less than all of the claims only upon an express determination that there is no just reason for delay and upon an express direction for the entry of judgment. In the absence of such determination and direction, any order or other form of decision, however designated, which adjudicates less than all the claims shall not terminate the action as to any of the claims, and the order or other form of decision is subject to revision at any time before the entry of judgment adjudicating all the claims.' (Emphasis supplied.)
In this form, it does not relax the finality required of each decision, as an individual claim, to render it appealable, but it does provide a practical means of permitting an appeal to be taken from one or more final decisions on individual claims, in multiple claims actions, without waiting for final decisions to be rendered on all the claims in the case. The amended rule does not apply to a single claim action nor to a multiple claims action in which all of the claims have been finally decided. It is limited expressly to multiple claims actions in which 'one or more but less than all' of the multiple claims have been finally decided and are found otherwise to be ready for appeal.
To meet the demonstrated need for flexibility, the District Court is used as a 'dispatcher.' It is permitted to determine, in the first instance, the appropriate time when each 'final decision' upon 'one or more but less than all' of the claims in a multiple claims action is ready for appeal. This arrangement already has lent welcome certainty to the appellate procedure. Its 'negative effect' has met with uniform approval. The effect so referred to is the rule's specific requirement that for 'one or more but less than all' multiple claims to become appealable, the District Court must make both 'an express determination that there is no just reason for delay' and 'an express direction for the entry of judgment.' A party adversely affected by a final decision thus knows that his time for appeal will not run against him until this certification has been made.
In the instant case, the District Court made this certification, but Sears, Roebuck & Co. nevertheless moved to dismiss the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction under § 1291. The grounds for such a motion ordinarily might be (1) that the judgment of the District Court was not a decision upon a 'claim for relief', (2) that the decision was not a 'final decision' in the sense of an ultimate disposition of an individual claim entered in the course of a multiple claims action, or (3) that the District Court abused its discretion in certifying the order.
In the case before us, there is no doubt that each of the claims dismissed is a 'claim for relief' within the meaning of Rule 54(b), or that their dismissal constitutes a 'final decision' on individual claims. Also, it cannot well be argued that the claims stated in Counts I and II are so inherently inseparable from, or closely related to, those stated in Counts III and IV that the District Court has abused its discretion in certifying that there exists no just reason for delay. They certainly can be decided independently of each other.
Petitioner contends that amended Rule 54(b) attempts to make an unauthorized extension of § 1291. We disagree. It could readily be argued here that the claims stated in Counts I and II are sufficiently independent of those stated in Counts III and IV to satisfy the requirements of Rule 54(b) even in its original form. If that were so, the decision dismissing them would also be appealable under the amended rule. It is nowhere contended today that a decision that would have been appealable under the original rule is not also appealable under the amended rule, provided the District Court makes the required certification.
While it thus might be possible to hold that in this case the Court of Appeals had jurisdiction under original Rule 54(b), there at least would be room for argument on the issue of whether the decided claims were separate and independent from those still pending in the District Court. Thus the instant case affords an excellent illustration of the value of the amended rule which was designed to overcome that difficulty. Assuming that the requirements of the original rule are not met in this case, we nevertheless are enabled to recognize the present appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals under the amended rule. The District Court cannot, in the exercise of its discretion, treat as 'final' that which is not 'final' within the meaning of § 1291. But the District Court may, by the exercise of its discretion in the interest of sound judicial administration, release for appeal final decisions upon one or more, but less than all, claims in multiple claims actions. The timing of such a release is, with good reason, vested by the rule primarily in the discretion of the District Court as the one most likely to be familiar with the case and with any justifiable reasons for delay. With equally good reason, any abuse of that discretion remains reviewable by the Court of Appeals.
Rule 54(b), in its original form, thus may be said to have modified the single judicial unit practice which had been developed by court decisions. The validity of that rule is no longer questioned. In fact, it was applied by this Court in Reeves v. Beardall, 316 U.S. 283, 62 S.Ct. 1085, 86 L.Ed. 1478, without its validity being questioned.
Rule 54(b), in its amended form, is a comparable exercise of the rulemaking authority of this Court. It does not supersede any statute controlling appellate jurisdiction. It scrupulously recognizes the statutory requirement of a 'final decision' under § 1291 as a basic requirement for an appeal to the Court of Appeals. It merely administers that requirement in a practical manner in multiple claims actions and does so by rule instead of by judicial decision. By its negative effect, it operates to restrict in a valid manner the number of appeals in multiple claims actions.
We reach a like conclusion as to the validity of the amended rule where the District Court acts affirmatively and thus assists in properly timing the release of final decisions in multiple claims actions. The amended rule adapts the single judicial unit theory so that it better meets the current needs of judicial administration. Just as Rule 54(b), in its original form, resulted in the release of some decisions on claims in multiple claims actions before they otherwise would have been released, so amended Rule 54(b) now makes possible the release of more of such decisions subject to judicial supervision. The amended rule preserves the historic federal policy against piecemeal appeals in many cases more effectively than did the original rule.
Accordingly, the appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals is sustained, and its judgment denying the motion to dismiss the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction is affirmed.
Affirmed.
Mr. Justice FRANKFURTER, whom Mr. Justice HARLAN joins, concurring in No. 34 and dissenting in No. 76.
The result in these two litigations of course has significance for the parties. That is, however, of relative insignificance compared to the directions which judges in the district courts and courts of appeals will draw from the Court's opinions. For me what is said has not a little kindship with the pronouncements of the Delphic oracle.
The opinion in Cold Metal declares that 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291, remains unimpaired but surely that section does not remain what it was before these opinions were written. Rule 54(b) is apparently the transforming cause. The Court could have said that Rule 54(b), promulgated under congressional authority and having the force of statute, has qualified [[United States Code/Title 28/Chapter 83/Section 1291|28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291. It does not say so. The Court could have said that it rejects the reasoning of the decisions in which this Court for over a century has interpreted [[United States Code/Title 28/Chapter 83/Section 1291|§ 1291 as expressing a hostility toward piecemeal appeals. It does not say so. The Court could have said that Rule 54(b)'s requirement of a certificate from a district judge means that the district judges alone determine the content of finality. The Court does not say that either.
The Court does indicate that what has been the core of the doctrine of finality as applied to multiple claims litigation-that only that part of a litigation which is separate from, and independent of, the remainder of the litigation can be appealed before the completion of the entire litigation-is no longer to be applied as a standard, or at least as an exclusive standard, for deciding what is final for purposes of § 1291. The Court does not, however, indicate what standards the district courts and the courts of appeals are now to apply in determining when a decision is final. It leaves this problem in the first instance to the district courts, subject to review by the courts of appeals for an abuse of discretion. In other instances where a district court's ruling can be upset only for an abuse of its discretion, the scope of review is necessarily narrow. Here, in regard to the present problem, what is to come under review is a newly modified requirement of finality. But the requirement continues to be based upon a statute, viz., 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291, and that statute defines and constricts the jurisdiction of the courts of appeals. Therefore the issue of compliance with this congressional command would, I should suppose, cast upon the courts of appeals a duty of independent judgment broader than is implied by the usual flavor of the phrase 'abuse of discretion.'
For me, the propositions emerging from analysis of the relationship of Rule 54(b) to [[United States Code/Title 28/Chapter 83/Section 1291|28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291 are clear.
1. 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291 is left intact by Rule 54(b). It could not be otherwise with due regard for the congressional policy embodied in that section and in view of what the Advisory Committee on the Rules said in its Note to amended Rule 54(b):
'The historic rule in the federal courts has always prohibited piecemeal disposal of litigation and permitted appeals only from final judgments except in those special instances covered by statute. * * * Rule 54(b) was originally adopted in view of the wide scope and possible content of the newly created 'civil action' in order to avoid the possible injustice of a delay in judgment of a distinctly separate claim to await adjudication of the entire case. It was not designed to overturn the settled federal rule stated above. * * *
'After extended consideration, it (the Committee) concluded that a retention of the older federal rule was desirable, and that this rule needed only the exercise of a discretionary power to afford a remedy in the infrequent harsh case to provide a simple, definite, workable rule. This is afforded by amended Rule 54(b). It re-establishes an ancient policy with clarity and precision. * * * '
Report of Advisory Committee on Proposed Amendments to Rules of Civil Procedure 70-72.
2. 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291 is not a technical rule in a game. It expresses not only a deeply rooted but a wisely sanctioned principle against piecemeal appeals governing litigation in the federal courts. See Cobbledick v. United States, 309 U.S. 323, 60 S.Ct. 540, 84 L.Ed. 783; Radio Station WOW v. Johnson, 326 U.S. 120, 123-127, 65 S.Ct. 1475, 1477-1480, 89 L.Ed. 2092. The great importance of this characteristic feature of the federal judicial system-its importance in administering justice-is made luminously manifest by considering the evils where, as in New York piecemeal reviews are allowed.
3. While the principle against piecemeal appeals has been compendiously and therefore, at times, loosely phrased as implying that the whole of a litigation, no matter what its nature, must be completed before any appeal is allowed, see Collins v. Miller, 252 U.S. 364, 370, 40 S.Ct. 347, 349, 64 L.Ed. 616, the underlying rationale of the principle has been respected when not susceptible of this mechanical way of putting it. What have been called exceptions are not exceptions at all in the sense of inroads on the principle. They have not qualified the core, that is, that there should be no premature, intermediate appeal.
Thus the Court has permitted appeal before completion of the whole litigation when failure to do so would preclude any effective review or would result in irreparable injury. See Forgay v. Conrad, 6 How. 201, 12 L.Ed. 404; Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-547, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 1225 1226, 93 L.Ed. 1528; Swift & Co. Packers v. Compania Columbiana Del Caribe, 339 U.S. 684, 688-689, 70 S.Ct. 861, 864-865, 94 L.Ed. 1206. A second situation in which the Court has found that an appeal before termination of the entire litigation did not conflict with the congressional policy against piecemeal appeals is that in which a party to the completed portion of the litigation has no interest in the rest of the proceedings and to make him await their outcome would merely cause unfairness. See Williams v. Morgan, 111 U.S. 684, 699, 4 S.Ct. 638, 646, 28 L.Ed. 559; United States v. River Rouge Imp. Co., 269 U.S. 411, 413-414, 46 S.Ct. 144, 145, 70 L.Ed. 339.
4. The expansion by the Federal Rules of the allowable content of a proceeding and the range of a litigation inevitably enlarged the occasions for severing one aspect or portion of a litigation from what remains under the traditional test of a 'final decision.' On the basis of prior cases, we held that it was not a departure from the policy against piecemeal appeals to permit an appeal with respect to that part of a multiple claims litigation based on a set of facts separate and independent from the facts on which the remainder of the litigation was based. Reeves v. Beardall, 316 U.S. 283, 62 S.Ct. 1085, 86 L.Ed. 1478. The Note of the Advisory Committee, quoted supra, demonstrates that the amended Rule 54(b) was designed in accordance with the historic policy against premature appeal and with the decisions of this Court allowing appeal from a 'judgment of a distinctly separate claim.' What the Rule did introduce, however, was a discretionary power in the district judge to control appealability by preventing a party from even attempting to appeal a severable part of a litigation unless the district judge has expressly certified that there is no just reason for delay and has expressly directed entry of judgment on that phase of the litigation. This provision was directed to the kind of difficulty encountered in Dickinson v. Petroleum Conversion Corp., 338 U.S. 507, 70 S.Ct. 322, 94 L.Ed. 299, in ascertaining whether the district judge is in fact finished with a separable part of the litigation.
The Court casually disregards this long history of § 1291 and the bearing of Rule 54(b) to it by rejecting the separate-and-independent test as the basis for determining the finality of a part of a multiple claims litigation. The Court says that its decision 'does not impair the statutory concept of finality embraced in § 1291.' The Court may not do so in words, for it pays lip-service to § 1291. But that section's function as a brake against piecemeal appeals in future multiple claims litigation is greatly impaired. Encouragement is abundantly given to parties to seek such appeals.
The principles which this Court has heretofore enunciated over a long course of decisions under § 1291 furnish ready guides for deciding the appealability of the certified parts of the litigation in the two cases now before the Court. Count II in Sears, Roebuck and Co. v. Mackey, is appealable since the transactions and occurrences involved in it do not involve any of those embraced in Counts III and IV. Count I involves at least two transactions which are also the subject matter of Counts III and IV but is appealable under § 1292(1) as an interlocutory order denying an injunction. In Cold Metal Process Co. v. United Engineering & Foundry Co., 351 U.S. 445, 76 S.Ct. 904, the counterclaim, even if not compulsory, is based in substantial part on the transactions involved in the main litigation and hence not appealable.
5. Of course, as the Court's opinion appears to recognize, that crucial principle of the doctrine of finality that the court of appeals has no jurisdiction unless there is a 'final decision' cannot be left to the district court. It is one thing for a district court to determine whether it is or is not through with a portion of a litigation. It is quite another thing for it to determine whether the requirements of § 1291 are satisfied so as to give jurisdiction to the court of appeals. A district court can no more confer jurisdiction on a court of appeals outside the limits of 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1291, than a state supreme court can confer jurisdiction on this Court beyond the bounds of 28 U.S.C. § 1257, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1257. In a particular litigation the opinion of the district judge may properly be deemed a valuable guide. But flexibility would be a strange name for authority in the district court to command the court of appeals to exercise jurisdiction.
6. In summary, then, the Court rightly states, even if it does not hold, that § 1291 is unimpaired by Rule 54(b). Section 1291 is what a long course of decision has construed it to be. The unifying principle of decisions for over a century is observance of hostility in the federal judicial system to piecemeal appellate review (with a few strictly defined exceptions not here relevant, see 28 U.S.C. § 1292, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1292) of one litigation, no matter how many phases or parts there may be to a single judicial proceeding, so long as no part has become separated from, and independent of, the others. This rooted principle against piecemeal appeals of an organic whole-the core of § 1291-is not left unimpaired when its enforcement is committed without guidance to the individualized notions about finality of some two hundred and fifty district judges, themselves accountable to the discordant views of eleven essentially independent courts of appeals. Allowing such leeway to the district courts and courts of appeals is not flexibility but anarchy.

, the Englishman's long fingers did not loose Madden's wrist. A moment later, Leonard had lost consciousness completely, swung in midair, limp as a bag.
The American had a dim impression of being drawn to the top of the side wall, and the crew clustering about him. Someone splashed water in his face and the world cleared up before his eyes. The young fellow called Greer was whisking on the water, but when Madden opened his eyes, he set the bucket down and returned silently to his work.

Bathsheba Spooner
Bathsheba Ruggles Spooner (February 15, 1746 – July 2, 1778) was the first woman in American history to be executed following the Declaration of Independence.
The daughter of prominent Loyalist brigadier general and jurist Timothy Ruggles, Bathsheba Ruggles had an arranged marriage to wealthy farmer Joshua Spooner. After becoming pregnant by her lover, Continental Army soldier Ezra Ross, she enlisted the assistance of Ross and two others to murder her husband. On the night of March 1, 1778, Spooner was beaten to death and his body deposited in a well. Bathsheba and the three conspirators were soon arrested, tried, and convicted of Spooner's murder and sentenced to death.
Bathsheba petitioned to have her execution delayed because of her pregnancy, which was first denied and then supported by some members of a group charged with examining her to verify the pregnancy. After the four were executed, a postmortem examination revealed that she was five months pregnant. Historians have pointed out that the trial and execution may have been hastened by anti-Loyalist sentiment.
Background
Bathsheba Ruggles Spooner was the daughter of Brig. Gen. Timothy Ruggles, a lawyer who had served as chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas in Worcester, Massachusetts, from 1762 to 1764. Timothy Ruggles refused to sign the Stamp Act protest when serving as Massachusetts representative to the Stamp Act Congress in 1765. An avowed Loyalist who threatened to raise an army to protect his and other Loyalist farms against attacks by Patriot forces, Ruggles joined forces with the British Army in Boston in 1775.
Bathsheba Ruggles married Joshua Spooner on January 15, 1766. He was a well-to-do Brookfield farmer, the son of a wealthy Boston merchant. The Spooners lived in relative affluence in a two-story house in Brookfield, and had four children between 1767 and 1775. Spooner was later described as an abusive man for whom his wife developed "an utter aversion."
Plotting murder
In the spring of 1777, sixteen-year-old Ezra Ross, a soldier in the Continental Army, fell ill en route to his home in Linebrook, a village in Ipswich. Bathsheba nursed him back to health. On his travels to and from army service, Ross visited the Spooner home in July and December 1777. On the latter occasion he stayed into the new year, traveled with Spooner on business trips and had an affair with Bathsheba. She became pregnant mid-January and began urging Ross to kill her husband. In February 1778, Ross accompanied Spooner on an extended trip to Princeton, bringing along a bottle of nitric acid given to him by Bathsheba with the aim of poisoning Spooner. Ross backed out of the plan and returned directly to his Linebrook home.
While Ross and Spooner were in Princeton, Bathsheba invited two runaway British soldiers—escaped prisoners of war Pvt. Williams Brooks and Sgt. James Buchanan—to stay at the Spooner home and discussed ideas for killing her husband with them. When Spooner returned, she recruited them to assist her. She also wrote to Ross to inform him of these developments, and he returned to Brookfield on February 28. When Spooner returned home from a local tavern the following evening, Brooks committed the murder and Buchanan and Ross helped hide the body in the Spooners' well. Bathsheba distributed paper money from her husband's lockbox and articles of his clothing to the three men, who then took one of the Spooner horses to Worcester, fourteen miles away.
Brooks and Buchanan spent the remainder of the night drinking, and the next morning Brooks showed off Spooner's silver shoe buckles engraved with his initials. Once the murder was discovered, the three men were arrested in Worcester within 24 hours. When Ross was discovered hiding in the attic of a tavern, he asked for a confessor. The trio implicated Bathsheba and three of her household servants in the crime. Brooks was charged with the assault on Spooner; Buchanan and Ross with aiding and abetting in the murder; and Bathsheba with inciting, abetting and procuring the manner and form of the murder. All were arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Trial and execution
Robert Treat Paine, later the first Attorney General of Massachusetts, prosecuted the case. At the trial on April 24, 1778, the household servants testified for the prosecution. Levi Lincoln, later U.S. Attorney General under President Thomas Jefferson, defended the accused. Brooks and Buchanan had no defense to offer, having signed lengthy confessions. Though Ross had signed a similar confession, Lincoln argued that he had no intention of harming the deceased, was not aware of the plan until a few hours before the murder, had not assisted in the murder and pretended to support it to maintain his affair with Bathsheba. He argued that Bathsheba had a "disordered mind," that her actions were irrational as evidenced by the lack of a getaway plan.
All four defendants were found guilty the next day and sentenced to death, with the executions set for June 4, 1778. Bathsheba petitioned for a postponement, citing her pregnancy, based on common law principle that protected the life of a fetus if it had quickened. Bathsheba was examined by a panel of twelve women and two male midwives. All swore that she was not "quick with child." When Bathsheba and her confessor, the Rev. Thaddeus Maccarty, protested the report, four of the examiners joined by another midwife and Spooner's brother-in-law, Dr. John Green, conducted a second examination and supported the claim of pregnancy. The court did not accept those findings and Bathsheba was hanged alongside Ross, Brooks and Buchanan on July 2 in Worcester's Washington Square before a crowd of 5,000 spectators. A post-mortem examination, performed at Bathsheba's request, showed that she was pregnant with "a perfect male fetus of the growth of five months."
Bathsheba's body was claimed by her sister, Mary Ruggles Green, wife of Dr. John Green. She was buried in an unmarked grave on the Green Estate, which today is the site of Green Hill Park in Worcester.
Assessments
Shortly after the executions, on July 5, Rev. Ebenezer Parkman, the minister of the nearby town of Westborough, delivered a sermon entitled The Adultress Shall Hunt for the Precious Life in which he said: "So keep thee from the Evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Neither let her take thee with her eyelids. There are a thousand dangers, that poor young wretches are in by reason of the snares & traps which are everywhere laid ... particularly the poor beardless youth not quite 18." One historian says the judgment of the first panel that examined Spooner–"they refused to acknowledge what must have been obvious"–and blames "vindictiveness". Others question the motivation of the Massachusetts Executive Council. Some suggest Bathsheba was executed because the community opposed her father's Loyalist stance. John Avery Jr., the deputy secretary and leader of the Massachusetts Executive Council, who signed Bathsheba's death warrant, belonged to a group of Patriots called the Loyal Nine, who formed the innermost circle of the Sons of Liberty and was a step-brother of the murder victim.
In popular culture
The CBS radio program Crime Classics dramatized the case in an episode entitled "The Crime of Bathsheba Spooner" that aired on June 15, 1953. Bathsheba Spooner's case was also featured in Season 11, Episode 10 of Deadly Women.

Manner of death
In many legal jurisdictions, the manner of death is a determination, typically made by the coroner, medical examiner, police, or similar officials, and recorded as a vital statistic. Within the United States and the United Kingdom, a distinction is made between the cause of death, which is a specific disease or injury, versus manner of death, which is primarily a legal determination, versus the mechanism of death (also called the mode of death), which does not explain why the person died or the underlying cause of death and can include cardiac arrest or exsanguination. Different categories are used in different jurisdictions, but manner of death determinations include everything from very broad categories like "natural" and "homicide" to specific manners like "traffic accident" or "gunshot wound". In some cases an autopsy is performed, either due to general legal requirements, because the medical cause of death is uncertain, upon the request of family members or guardians, or because the circumstances of death were suspicious.
International Classification of Disease (ICD) codes can be used to record manner and cause of death in a systematic way that makes it easy to compile statistics and more feasible to compare events across jurisdictions.
Death by natural causes
A death by natural causes results from an illness and its complications or an internal malfunction of the body not directly caused by external forces, other than infectious disease. For example, a person dying from complications from pneumonia, diarrheal disease or HIV/AIDS (infections), cancer, stroke or heart disease (internal body malfunctions), or sudden organ failure would most likely be listed as having died from natural causes. "Death by natural causes" is sometimes used as a euphemism for "dying of old age", which is considered problematic as a cause of death (as opposed to a specific age-related disease); there are also many non-age-related causes of "natural" death, for legal manner-of-death purposes. (See .)
There is particular ambiguity around the classification of cardiac deaths triggered by a traumatic incident, such as in stress cardiomyopathy. Liability for a death classified as by natural causes may still be found if a proximate cause is established, as in the 1969 California case People v. Stamp.
Unnatural causes
An unnatural death results from an external cause, typically including homicides, suicides, accidents, medical errors, alcohol intoxications and drug overdoses. Jurisdictions differ in how they categorize and report unnatural deaths, including level of detail and whether they are considered a single category with subcategories, or separate top-level categories. There is no international standard on whether or how to classify a death as natural vs. unnatural.
"Mechanism of death" is sometimes used to refer to the proximate cause of death, which might differ from the cause that is used to classify the manner of death. For example, the proximate cause or mechanism of death might be brain ischemia (lack of blood flow to the brain), caused by a malignant neoplasm (cancer), in turn caused by a dose of ionizing radiation administered by a person with intent to kill or injure, leading to certification of the manner of death as "homicide".
The manner of death can be recorded as "undetermined" if there is not enough evidence to reach a firm conclusion. For example, the discovery of a partial human skeleton indicates a death, but might not provide enough evidence to determine a cause.
United States
In the United States, a manner of death is expressed as belonging to one classification of a group of six possible:
* Natural
* Accident
* Suicide
* Homicide
* Undetermined
* Pending
In some jurisdictions, some more detailed manners may be reported in numbers broken out from the main four or five. For example:
* Legal intervention (e.g. capital punishment)
* Act of war
* Automobile accidents
* Deaths of prison inmates by acute intoxication
United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, when people die, either a doctor writes an acceptable natural cause of death medical certificate, or a coroner (procurator fiscal in Scotland) investigates the case. Coroners are independent judicial officers who investigate deaths reported to them, and subsequently whatever inquiries are necessary to discover the cause of death, this includes ordering a post-mortem examination, obtaining witness statements and medical records, or holding an inquest. In the unified legal jurisdiction of England and Wales, most deaths are certified by doctors without autopsy or coroner involvement. Almost all deaths certified by the coroner involve an autopsy but most do not involve a formal inquest.
In England and Wales, a specific list of choices for verdicts is not mandated, and "narrative verdicts" are allowed, which are not specifically classified. The verdicts aggregated by the Ministry of Justice are:
* Homicide
* Killed unlawfully
* Killed lawfully
* Suicide
* Attempted or self-induced abortion
* Cause of death aggravated by lack of care, or self-neglect
* Dependence on drugs
* Non-dependent abuse of drugs
* Want of attention at birth
* Death from industrial diseases
* Death by accident or misadventure
* Stillborn
* Death from natural causes
* Open verdict
* Disaster
Other jurisdictions
Some jurisdictions place deaths in absentia, such as deaths at sea and missing persons declared dead in a court of law, in the "Undetermined" category on the grounds that due to the fact-finder's lack of ability to examine the body, the examiner has no personal knowledge of the manner of (assumed) death; others classify such deaths in an additional category "Other", reserving "Undetermined" for deaths in which the fact-finder has access to the body, but the information provided by the body and examination of it is insufficient to provide sufficient grounds for a determination.
The Norwegian Medical Association classifies what other jurisdictions might call "undetermined" as "unnatural":
* Sudden and unexpected death of an unknown cause
* Deaths in prison or while in civilian or military detention
Legal implications
A death ruled as homicide or unlawful killing is typically referred to police or prosecutor or equivalent official for investigation and criminal charges if warranted. Deaths caused by capital punishment, though homicides, are generally assumed to be lawful and are not prosecuted. Most deaths due to war are not prosecuted, unless there is evidence of a war crime, in which case troops on foreign territory might be prosecuted by the military justice system, domestic law enforcement, or the International Criminal Court.
Some insurance contracts, such as life insurance policies, have special rules for certain manners of death. Suicide, for example, may invalidate claims under terms of such a contract.

How Many Watts Does a Dryer Use
With the rising electricity prices, everyone is thinking about how to hold back on their electricity usage. When talking about electrical appliances that mostly contribute to your energy bills, the first is the AC/heating unit, and the next is your tumble dryer. You might only use it once every few days; it still uses a lot of energy, adding to your electricity bills. Today, dryers are a staple in our homes, but most of us don't know how much they cost us. However, if you know how many watts a dryer use, you can come up with a cost estimate.
Key Takeaways about Dryer Wattage
• When talking about how many watts does a dryer use? It mainly depends on the model you have and how frequently you are using it. If we consider the average use of a dryer, the estimate should be between 1500W and 5000W of electricity.
• Although it is a highly energy-consuming appliance, you only use it two or three times a week for short intervals. Let's suppose you use it thrice every week; your dryer alone will consume 500 kWh of energy every year.
• However, there is a way to use your dryer without worrying about electricity bills. You can use a Jackery portable power station to power your home appliances, such as your tumbler dryer, using solar energy. It will help you save money on electricity bills while providing clean energy.
How Many Watts Does a Dryer Use
Typical tumble dryers are 7.5 to 30 amps appliances that use 1500W to 5000W of electricity. You cannot come up with a common wattage for all dryers, as it depends on the model. Also, every house has a different laundry routine. Some people do their laundry once a week, while some do it every three days. How many times you run your tumble dryer highly impacts its watt usage. To calculate how many watts a dryer use, let’s try two different scenarios.
Suppose you use your dryer once every week. Every time you use it, it consumes 3KWH. There are 52 weeks in one year. When you do the calculations, the final number of using a dryer one time a week is 156KWH per year. If that number does capture your attention, suppose you do laundry three times a week. Now, you are looking at 468KWH per year. With the current electricity costs, it only means you are going to get a huge electricity bill.
Dryer Watts Consumption
Dryers use electricity to run a motor and produce hot air with a fan. When the motor rotates the drum, a fan blows hot air, and it dries your clothes. Some dryers have digital displays or screen which is also powered by electricity.

How Many Watts Does a Hair Dryer Use
Let’s see how many watts does a hair dryer use in a home-use situation? Hair dryers are completely different from tumble dryers as they are small in size, and people use them to dry their hair. As a hair dryer is a small device, it has a small motor that requires less energy to rotate and provide hot air. Similar to clothes dryers, hair dryers also come in multiple sizes based on their model and application. Average hair dryers use 1500 to 2000 watts of electricity. Most people use them for 10 minutes every day, which consumes a total of 110KWH of electricity per year.
How Many Watts Does a Gas Dryer Use
If you are looking forward to installing a gas dryer in your house, but you don't know if it is the best financial option, let's talk about how many watts does a gas dryer use? It will give you a better idea of the cost of using such an appliance. Gas dryers are initially more expensive than electric dryers, but their operating cost is less as they operate on electricity as well as gas. Every gas dryer needs a standard 120V outlet and a capped-off gas line to connect with your gas inlet. If you are planning to stay in your house for a long time, getting a gas dryer is a better financial option in the long run.
What Size Generator Do I Need for Dryer When Off-Grid
If you are in this segment, you already have a general idea about how many watts does a dryer use in a typical household? If you already know the energy usage, you also know the price it will cost you to use your dryer. Even if the number is not astronomical, it is still enough for you to reduce your dryer usage. If you don't want to do that, and you don't want to pay the expensive bill as well, you should look for a creative solution. Using Jackery Solar Generator is the most efficient way to power your home appliances with free of cost electricity.

FAQ about Dryer Wattage
How many watts does a Dryer use in a year?
Although it depends on the model and the frequency of usage of the dryer, you can still get an estimate of how many watts its uses in a year. Your typical dryer consumes 1500 to 5000 watts of electricity. Now consider the number of times you will be using it every week. Suppose you use your dryer for 2 hours every week. It will consume 3 to 10KWH weekly. When you calculate it for a year's worth of dryer use, you get an average of 468KWH.
How much power does a blow Dryer consume?
It is hard to come up with an exact number of how many watts does blow dryer use as it varies based on how you operate it. As you know, every blow dryer can provide unheated and heated air. When you are using it in the in-heated air mode, it is only using the fan to suck air and throw it. It typically consumes 70 watts of electricity in that situation. However, using it with highly heated air is a different story. Now the dryer is blowing air and heating it at the same time. It uses around 1500 watts of electricity.
How much electricity does a Dryer use in 30 minutes?
First, you need to know which size of dryer you are dealing with. If you want to consider an average dryer, its watts usage should fall between 1500W and 5000W. Now that you have a number range, you can calculate the amount of electricity it is using. For 30 minutes, multiply the watts by 0.5 to get your answer in watt-hours. The final result should be 750WH to 2500WH.
Conclusion
Let’s conclude our guide on how many watts does a dryer use? The energy usage of the dryer is mainly based on two factors. The first one is the dryer size or model. It will tell you how many watts a specific dryer need to operate. Since we don't have an example, you can cover the average dryer watt usage between 1500 to 5000 watts of electricity. The second one is the number of times you use your dryer in a week. After you calculate the energy consumption and realize the cost, the need step is to look for a way to reduce it. You can use Jackery solar generators to power your appliances with clean and renewable solar energy to live an off-grid lifestyle without worrying about electricity bills.

Talk:Hussein of Jordan/Archive 1
Unbalanced
This article is unencyclopædic in tone and biased. I am a fan of the late King but an encyclopædia can't simply carry an article that in tone reads like a press release from the King's press office. FearÉIREANN 22:15, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)
I think the eulogy from Prince Charles is too long and should be removed entirely Edward 20:03, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
This article seems rather unbalanced. I'm a fan of King Hussein's, but I agree with FearÉIREANN's assessment -- from this article it looks like not much happened, no mention of the Six Day War, nothing about the Palestinian refugees in the country in the 1950s and 60s, or Black September??? -- Arwel 02:08, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That is exactly my opinion. I am a BIG fan of King Hussein, but also of Wikipedia. This is a PR-piece, not a serious article. The content is totally unbalanced. I am going to put on a POV warning. Gidonb 09:36, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Information should be added about Pascal 22:27, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC) Queen dina was princess dina's mother. Queen Dina was a bedoine and born in Jordan This was a prearranged marriage when dina and hussein was married in 1945 hussein was 12 and Dina was 16. —Comment added by an unidentified user.
* Husseins secret contacts with Israel
* problems struggeling with the Palistinian problem, and his struggle to keep the power.
* The first Iraq war and Husseins point of view
* Peace with Israel
* His speech at the burying of Rabin

I agree this page is ridiculous, I am jordanian and i find it laughable "King Hussein's commitment to democracy, civil liberties and human rights has helped pave the way in making Jordan a model state for the region" ... LMAO ... oh is that why he disolved Parliament for what 10 years? And i would say a link to Black September, or maybe jsut how he felt about it. And about the 67 war ... it should be noted that he was the only arab leader at the front. Also it should be included his relationship with neighbouring arab countries like syria and egypt in the 60s. The rather unlikeable aspect he recieved. I dont know ... its a good start i suppose but lots need to be added.
The King was at the time of his death the longest serving leader in international politics. -- I've just changed this to ...one of the longest serving leaders..., it depends on what exactly you define as a leader, of course, but Rama IX of Thailand has been in charge since 1946, and Queen Elizabeth beat his accession to the throne by a few months... -- Arwel 13:10, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Well, Mr. Jordanian, thankfully, Wikipedia is not about your opinion of King Hussien. He did have a commitment for democracy and civil libretits, and the fact that you can post this here is sufficent proof. In China they even restrict Internet access. I am willing to dedicate enough time to this topic to improve it and cover all aspects of King Hussien. And yes, that person in the picture is Queen Noor.
Saved from a bullet by a medal
He is said to have been saved from a bullet by a medal his grandfather had recently awarded him and insisted he wear.
This is ridiculous, and a "Fairy Tale"! , i really doubt this is written any where else than an "official jordainian i love you hussain, ur probably a god" site!
It was written by him in his book "My Life as a King". If you haven't noticed, the sentence is written in a claim form, rather than a in a form of a fact. We might never know, but its not redicolus.

Small Change
Queen Dina was not the mother of Princess Dina as stated above. Queen Dina and Princess Dina are actually the same person. Queen/Princess Dina is the mother of only one child, Her Royal Highness Princess Alia bint Hussein.
She was born Sharifa Dina bint 'Abdu'l-Hamid in Ciaro, Egypt in 1928. She was styled Her Majesty Queen Dina al-Hussein on April 19, 1955 after her marriage to King Hussein. She became Her Royal Highness Princess Dina bint Abdu'l-Hamid on June 24, 1957 after she was divorced by King Hussein.
She was born in Ciaro, Egypt not Jordan nor was she a bedouin. She was a Sharifa of the Hashemite family (Mecca line). She and Hussein did have a misreable arranged marriage.
I changed one line
He ascended after the 1951 assassination of his father in Jerusalem.
to
He ascended after the 1952 resignation of his father.
Because it was his grandfather who was assasinated in Jerusalem, and his father Talal who became king then. I did this small change, and I look forward to adding alot of other more usefull additions.
Palestinian Situation in Jordan
In response to what Mr. Al-Abbadi has suggested, we find many fairy tales attached to the biography of this King. In his books, as well as his widow's books, Queen Nour's "Leap of Faith", we find many sensationalized stories that seem all together hard to believe. Let's not forget that most information obtained on King Hussein came from official Jordanian media sources, i.e. propaganda machines, leaving us with all good stories on him.
Politically speaking, the main issue that King Hussein could be blamed for is the fact that most Jordanians come from Palestinian heritage, nevertheless, they don’t seem to be getting any of their legitimate rights in Jordan, only 2% of parlement in Jordan yet the number of Jordanians of Palestinian heritage according to the Jordanian Government itself is 60%, that is NOT including 1.78 million who hold a refugees status by the UNRWA, which means if you add those to the sum of 5.9 million Jordanians, the actually percentage of Jordanians of Palestinian heritage is more than 88%, and even the 88% is not inclusive of 300,000 Palestinian non-citizens living in Jordan. A proof, the population of all of southern Jordan, which is mostly Jordanian natives, is less than 250,000, Amman and Zarqa, dominated by Palestinian population, make up most of the country. The Jordanian Government has been trying for decades to conceal the fact that most Jordanians come from a Palestinian heritage. Now since we are speaking about King Hussein, I agree, his most fatal mistake is isolating and exclusion of Jordanians of Palestinian heritage, example the current government has less than 10% of the ministers of Palestinian heritage, and so was the case all through the history of Jordan, while a Southern city, Kerak has so far provided half of all Jordanian ministers, despite the fact that Karak's population is less than 50,000, and also Kerak has 14 deputies, seats, in the house, while Amman, a city of 3.8 million has only 30, of course most Ammanites are Palestinians! That is not democracy, and you do not have to believe me, check the reports of Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty International, I have lived in Jordan and I know all it takes for anyone to be tortured with no charges at a police station is having his last name indicating that he is a Jordanian of Palestinian heritage, and automatically he most likely will be tortured or even imprisoned. Scholarships is a very interesting issue, foreign Governments grant those to Jordan in order to help it with its burden of Palestinian refugees, amazingly enough the scholarships go only to be Bedouins and native Jordanians, Mr Abbadi, unless you live in Mars, you will know that NO PALESTINIANS REGARDLESS OF HOW QUALIFIED HE OR SHE IS, could get any scholarship in Jordan! that is no secret, what we have now in Jordan is a very sad oppressed Palestinian majority with a very fertile ground for terrorism and true desire to rid of Israel by the people in hope they could go home and escape the oppression of their government, which by the way has changed since His Majesty King Abdullah II has come to the office. Former CIA Chief Director for the Middle East, Jordanian-American Adnan Abu Odeh, spoke on Al-Jazeera extensively of the exclusion of Palestinians in Jordan and how they are treated in fear and questioning by all Government institution, which of course creates fertile ground for unrest, terrorism, and threatens Israel's security which USA is concerned with. Mr. Abbadi, you and your people have enjoyed a free ride on our backs for too long, free education, free scholarships, free housing, free health care, employment, and so on all of our tax money, this will change sooner or later, live with it.
==The assumption that it follows from the fact that King Abdullah is the current king of Jordan, hence Antoinette Avril Gardiner ('Toni Gardiner')/Princess Muna al-Hussein must have converted to Islam is logically specious== There is no lack of intrigue in the court of the Kings of Jordan, and it is possible that some rules were bent to grant King Hussein his dying wishes. The following is the paragraph in question from the main page.
"However, the Jordanian Constitution at Chapter VI Part I Article 28e specifically requires that every person with rights of succession to the Jordainan throne be born of a legitimate wife who is Muslim. The fact that the current King (Abdullah II) is the son of Princess Muna al-Hussein proves that Princess Muna did, indeed, convert to Islam. If Muna had not converted to Islam Abdullah II, Prince Faisal and their issue would not have the hereditary rights that they enjoy."
I agree that the quote above is an assumption, not a fact, and is logically specious. It needs to be removed. I am not qualified to edit this article, but somebody with the requisite knowledge needs to step up.
* It is a fact that Princess Muna al-Hussein is a Muslim. Please, provide proof that she is not. The Jordanian Constitution requires that every King or dynast be the child of a legal wife who is Muslim. This is, also, a FACT not an assumption. Please, equerry the relevant articles of the constitution if you are in doubt. I placed the above comment concerning the constitutional and legal rights of Princess Muna's male decendants, because I do have the requisite knowledge required. Since you clearly lack that knowledge or the desire to do the appropriate research please step down and stop placing "theory" that Princess Muna did not convert and that Abdullah's acension was illegal back into the article.
King Abdullah and Prince Faisal had hereditary rights to the crown before King Hussein became ill. Abdullah was actually Crown Prince from his birth until 1965. His father named his brother Prince El Hassan Crown Prince April 1, 1965 to keep the infant Crown Prince from becoming a pawn in the event of his father's assination (which was likely at the time).
It has been well known since King Hussein's marriage to Princess Muna that she converted to Islam. Some may doubt the conviction with which she follows Islam, but not that she converted.
King Hussein didn't bend any rules by naming his eldest son King. He was perfectly within his legal rights as King to name any of his sons or male siblings who is a legal dynast under the constition to be his heir. He didn't choose his eldest son out of some mystery pool of men who aren't dynasts. He choose his eldest son from among the male Hashemite's who ALREADY had dynastic rights to the throne.
You have a clear misunderstanding of how the laws of succession work in Jordan, and you seem unwilling to accept that anyone else does. Additionally, you seem unwilling to bother to do the appropriate research. You would rather assume that Princess Muna never converted, that Abdullah holds the thrown illegally, that Prince Faisal and Prince Omar are not legal heirs to the Kingdom than to bother reading the constitution and looking at the actual events instead assuming that you are correct when all evidence points to the contrary.
Let me put it another way so that you may possibly understand it since you cannot be bothered with research.
The present King, Abdullah II, was Crown Prince of The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan from the time of his birth in 1963 until April 1, 1965. The constitution was ratified in 1952. That same law that I keep pointing out that requires a Muslim mother was also in effect from 1952 onward. In "English" that means that if Princess Muna wasn't Muslim by the time of Abdullah's birth he wouldn't have been Crown Prince from 1963-1965 nor would he have been premitted to be named as Crown Prince again prior to his father's death. He certainly wouldn't have been premitted to be confirmed as King if Princess Muna was not Muslim at the time of his birth.
The only change to the laws that govern succession since 1952 was the 1965 addition that allows a King to name a successor. This successor must meet all the constitutional requirements for being a dynast by being a male line decendant of King Abduallah I born of legally married parents BOTH of whom must be Muslim. The 1965 addition only allows the King to name a successor from his sons or his own bothers.
You may see the relvant portion of the constitution at the following link. If you prefer I can provide links to websites (or point you to books) where you may view the constitution that isn't affiliated with the Jordanian Royal Family. Although, I will point out that they will be exactly the same.

Queen Brandissima
Actually, I am not trying to argue that Queen Muna is or is not a Muslim. I am just arguing that it's not enough to argue that she is a Muslim since her son is now the King of Jordan. Perhaps an article, where she articulates her faith, or where she is quoted as having fasted Ramadan, or some kind of more concrete evidence. Personally, I do not care whether Queen Muna is Muslim or not, and I do not feel that this fact would make King Abdullah II ascension to the throne less or more legitimate.
My feeling is that the whole question of Queen Muna's faith be struck from the article. We can keep the reference to the fact that her son is the current King of Jordan and let the readers draw their own conclusions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 21:21, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Six-Day War
I'm sure this article could have more about the Six-Day War than "In the Six-day war, the king held onto his throne". -Ashley Pomeroy 16:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC) the great king
I'm pretty sure the Israelies attacked the people of Jordan in that one, not the other way around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not biased one way or the other or anything, give them some time, shoe would of been on the other foot, that is what armies tend to do after all, attack, or get attacked and hope to make it thru it and do your own attacking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 05:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Unsupported statements
The paragraph Policy Towards Jordanians of Palestinian Heritage has no references or sources to prove any of its content. It mentions amounts of money that have not been quantified, and does not state correctly that the Jordanian economy is controlled by Jordanian Palestinians, and does not explain well why all this happened if true!

Improvments in Jordan
Is this section necessary? "he paid attention to the development of better water and electricity networks, in addition to sewage networks, which were only available to 10% of the population; by the end of his reign, the percentage had reached 99%". I believe this is a natural fact for a king that ruled for 47 years... (Imad marie (talk) 06:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC))

Mike Myers?
I removed the paragraph that says King Hussein was a fan of Austin Powers and he did impressions of Dr. Evil. Is it supposed to be a joke? vandalism? it is not referenced and Austin Powers started in 1997 and the King died in 1999 from cancer, somehow I doubt he became a fan and did impressions for high-ranking officers of the U.S military while dying from cancer... Looks like I might be wrong and the King might have been a fan after all... Then again this is not confirmed anywhere, I found articles citing wikipedia as the source...
—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ana salti (talk • contribs) 23:52, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
There is a story that during certain military related negotiations, King Hussein did an impromptu Dr. Evil impression (given his then current bald and likely de-bearded condition). It was in the context of repeating the terms of the deal and adding "after the fact" as an apparent joke "...and one million dollars" in the vein of Dr. Evil. Hilariously, the U.S. senior military staff thought the additional "term" was a legitimate demand and started to scramble to put the million dollars together until informed by their junior staff that the statement was a intended as a joke. The joke was confirmed via gingerly worded inquiry back to King Hussein and the deal was concluded under the "original" term minus any demand for a one million dollar bribe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 19:46, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

* Objection. Our article titles should use the name most recognizable to our readers, in part to tell our readers who in Creation we are talking about. To most English-speakers, Hussein bin Talal might as well be a medieval imam. If this name were not so widely ambiguous, we would use Hussein. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:38, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
* Please see WP:Official names, for why we don't use them. This is a slightly different question, but not much. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:39, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
* Oppose, common practice for royalty is not to use the full name. For example, William I, German Emperor, not "William Frederick Louis", and Louis XVI of France, not "Louis-Auguste". Parsecboy (talk) 00:50, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
* Oppose per comments above. This is the standard naming form for royal people of all nationalities. Good Ol’factory (talk) 11:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, I will remove the request tag. Imad marie (talk) 10:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Hussein I?
Why is King Talal referred to as Talal I but King Hussein is just called Hussein (no number). Anybody know? It seems inconsistent. Tad Lincoln (talk) 21:59, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

St. Louis IX, King, Confessor–W (III)
Tuesday, August 25
Commonly known as Saint Louis, was a Capetian King of France who reigned from 1226 until his death. Louis was crowned in Reims at the age of 12, following the death of his father Louis VIII the Lion, although his mother, Blanche of Castile, ruled the kingdom until he reached maturity. During Louis’s childhood, Blanche dealt with the opposition of rebellious vassals and put an end to the Albigensian crusade which had started 20 years earlier. As an adult, Louis IX faced recurring conflicts with some of the most powerful nobles, such as Hugh X of Lusignan and Peter of Dreux. Simultaneously, Henry III of England tried to restore his continental possessions, but was defeated at the battle of Taillebourg. His reign saw the annexation of several provinces, notably Normandy, Maine and Provence. Louis’s actions were inspired by Christian values. He decided to punish blasphemy, gambling, interest-bearing loans and prostitution, and bought the relics of Christ for which he built the Sainte-Chapelle.

In the United States, there are two states 39 and 40 referred to as North and South Dakota. They are close to each other, but are considered two different worlds, although with a single history, geographical and ethnic characteristics. When did North South Dakota split?
How did the United States get these territories?
In the early 19th century, America acquired these lands from their French counterparts in the Louisiana Deal. There were a lot of Indians here and the Siu Dakota was the most massive tribe, so it gave the name to the entire region.
What was Dakota State?
The composition of the territory was initially many times wider. Modern Minnesota and Nebraska were immediately incorporated. Only in the second half of the 19th century, the Dakota territory received the title – an organized incorporated territory of the United States. It was also decided to join Wyoming, Idaho here.
Soon, a real “gold rush” began in these lands, which contributed to population growth, largely in the southern part of the state. It began to develop with great force: transport routes, jobs, infrastructure.
By the beginning of 1880, there were almost 100 thousand inhabitants in the south of Dakota, while in the north there was a less active increase – no more than 37 thousand.
The beginning of the conflict
The northerners did not like deprivation and, seeing even in the remoteness of the capital of Dakota – Yankton, some kind of injustice, they decided to create their own, which became Bismarck. Soon the south side, due to the large number of the population, was taken to the trade union on its own, and the north was cheated here too.
The US Congress realized that the situation was heating up and decided to divide North and South Dakota in 1881 along the 46th parallel. At the same time, the northerners left Bismarck as their capital, and the southerners changed Yankton to Pyrrhus.
Preconditions for separation
Why did North South Dakota split? It should be understood that no matter how hard the authorities tried to populate the northern part and reconcile it with the southern, these territories still had too much that was different. For example, economic ties, even at the time of joint “residence”. North and south were connected by rail, but the first was actively working with Minneapolis, and the second with Sioux.
Corrupt officials also contributed to the division, who were appointed from above and did not think about the local residents, as if on purpose pitting the two sides against each other. A prominent representative is Nehemiah Ordway, who was involved in the scandal with the transfer of capitals.
Why did both sides get the name Dakota?
South, separating, did not want to give his name and demanded to call himself, as before – Dakota. The northerners were going to give up the territory of Pembina in order to turn it into the state of Lincoln. However, the name Dakota was no longer just a name for a territory, but a brand, so a real struggle unfolded for it. As a result, both sides lost, obliging only to make clarifications – North or South Dakota.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
* Comment - Some thoughts, since the last AFD didn't have much in the way of discussion.
* 1) I'm relatively familiar with the band - I rewrote the whole band article within the last year. The band has a long history of drama, and no one on Wikipedia (beyond myself) who understands Wikipedia policy (or basic writing.) So things tend to stay in a terrible shape unless I step in.
* 2) I've redirect the album article multiple times in the past, because it's typically unsourced and reads like garbage.
* 3) The sources brought up at the last AFD, if you look closely, probably all fail WP:RS. "Ihateyourband.com" or whatever it is, is clearly a random blogger. Sputnik Music isn't usable when its a "user review", which fails WP:USERG. The only passable looking one is maybe "CrypticRock", and even then I'm not sure.
* 4) There's a few articles like this, that announce the album, but generally don't really amount to "significant coverage".
* Overall, I'm leaning towards redirect. The sourcing is extremely weak, and because of point #1, its not reasonable to think someones going to come along to clean this up any time soon. If this gains consensus, I'll be around to enforce it in the future as well, since I maintain the band article. Sergecross73 msg me 13:40, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Run a Raspberry Pi Program on Boot
Our newest (sorta-Python-related) tutorial shows you a few ways to run a script whenever a Raspberry Pi boots up.
Favorited Favorite 9
If you've used a microcontroller (such as an Arduino), you probably realize that there is beauty in its simplicity. When you give it power, it (almost always) begins running your code right away without any hassle! The same simplicity does not hold for full-fledged computers, like a Raspberry Pi.
Because systems like the Pi run an operating system (Linux), many things must occur in the background before you're able to run your own code. While general purpose operating systems are extremely powerful and offer a lot of flexibility to users, it requires extra effort to tell the system that it should run your program right after booting.
To give you a few ways to run your program on boot, we have a new tutorial for you:
How to Run a Raspberry Pi Program on Startup
September 18, 2018
In this tutorial, we look at various methods for running a script or program automatically whenever your Raspberry Pi (or other Linux computer) boots up.
In it, we show three methods for scheduling a Python program to run right after startup along with some troubleshooting tips in case it doesn't work on the first try. While the tutorial is more thorough, below is the abbreviated, TL;DR version.
rc.local
rc.local is likely the easiest method for running your program on boot, but because it executes before any graphical desktop starts, you will not have access to graphical elements. To add your program (we'll use an example Python 3 program named blink.py), modify rc.local:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
Just before the exit 0 line, add the following:
/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/blink.py &
Running a Python script on boot with rc.local on the Raspberry Pi
Save and exit with ctrl + x, followed by y when prompted to save, and then enter. Reboot your Pi with:
sudo reboot
autostart
If you need access to graphical elements (for example, you are making a dashboard with Tkinter), you will need to wait until the X Window System has started before running your program. The easiest way to do that on the Pi is to use the autostart system (which is included with LXDE, the graphical desktop environment in Raspbian).
autostart runs a script located at /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart for your user (pi) each time the desktop environment is started. It then looks for .desktop files located in /home/pi/.config/autostart to run. To use autostart, we'll make our own .desktop file with our arbitrary blink.py program.
In a terminal, enter the following commands:
mkdir /home/pi/.config/autostart
nano /home/pi/.config/autostart/blink.dekstop
In the blink.desktop file, enter the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Blink
Exec=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/blink.py
Using autostart to run a program on boot in Linux
Save and exit with ctrl + x, followed by y when prompted to save, and then enter. Reboot your Pi with:
sudo reboot
systemd
systemd is a more robust way of creating services to run your programs, but it is more complicated to use. While it is intended to start programs in the background, independent of any user-level desktop environments, you can still create unit files for systemd that wait until networking, graphics, etc. or just brute force restarts until the program runs (see the systemd section in the full tutorial for more information).
To create a basic unit file, run the following:
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/blink.service
Enter the following into the blank .service document:
[Unit]
Description=Blink my LED
After=multi-user.target
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/blink.py
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Run a program on boot with systemd on the Raspberry Pi
Save and exit with ctrl + x, followed by y when prompted to save, and then enter. We then need to tell systemd to recognize our new service and enable it with the following:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable blink.service
Finally, reboot your system with:
sudo reboot
Conclusion
Because it's Linux, there are many ways to accomplish a thing, and starting a program on boot is no exception. Other methods exist, including SysVinit and crontab. What is your favorite method for running a program on startup with Linux?
Comments 15 comments
• Crontab @reboot is also another easy method too!
• Was about to say the same thing. I like having all the scheduled programs in the same place. Nightly stuff, @reboot stuff, all in crontab.
• Good to know there's lots of love for crontab. I'm always curious to know what people use!
• I use it to call periodic logging events for sensors or check in logs to servers. Great for iot projects! Allows your code to be very tight for the sensing without worrying about the scheduler or task overhead
• For the benefit of people who aren't familiar with crontab, it schedules things to happen at specified times. It's mostly used for things that need to happen periodically (great for datalogging!), though the crontab file can be rather arcane. (One little bit of advice: rather than running a file directly, I like to use a "caller" program which is usually a short script that in turn runs the file I actually want to run. This technique sidesteps the need to remember to re-run crontab every time I make changes in the program that I actually want to run.)
Related sidenote: If you want something to happen just once at a particular time in the future, see the Linux at command.
• One other thing: If you have problems with @reboot stuff coming up before all of the other stuff is done, stick in a sleep statement into your script to delay your program a few seconds, e.g., "sleep 15" will give an extra 15 seconds.
• Valuable guide! Much obliged to you for composing it, Shawn. Do you happen to realize how to have any of these strategies run a python program as a root client? My program requires here association with One Wire gadgets and I trust it can just do as such when I run the program with sudo.
• Useful guide! Thank you for writing it, Shawn. Do you happen to know how to have any one of these methods run a python program as a root user? My program requires interaction with One Wire devices and I believe it can only do so when I run the program with sudo.
• Of the ones in the guide, rc.local and systemd run as root, so you should be able to run your Python program as root with those. Some of the other methods might (for example, you'd need to use the root user's crontab if you want to use crontab).
• Very helpful, very clear. Thank you. Haven't tried it!... but will be my first port of call when I need this. I particularly liked the setting out of the options, complete with pros an cons.
• One question, Shawn: Although I've done several projects using RPis, I haven't done any (yet) where I'd like to have the display NOT turn off after a period of no user activity (such as a mouse movement or keyboard click). A simple example would be the "clock display" you mention. If you know how to do this off hand, it could save me some time trying to dig it up!
• I have not tested this, but it looks like you can add the following to /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart:
@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
Source forum thread
• Thanks, Shawn! I'm working on a presentation which I'm planning on running from a Zero connected to the projector in order to convince the audience that it's a "noticable" computer... having it "go blank" while I answer a question is not "good form".
• Aaaah...that would be most unfortunate. What do you mean "noticable?" Is this a workshop?
• Not really a "workshop" -- it's a presentation aimed at (non-"techie") senior citizens who've been hearing the words "micro:bit", "Arduino", and "Raspberry Pi" from grandkids (and others) and don't have a clue what they are. (Or why they should consider them as Christmas/Hannukah presents!)

# The local Directory
This directory contains two subdirectories, `before` and `after`, that are
intended bash configuration files that are specific for the local machine.
All the files within these directories are sourced by bash upon start up in
this order:
* The files in the *before* subdirectory
* The files directly under the parent directory (`.bash.d`)
* The files in the *after* subdirectory
No files under any of the two subdirectories are tracked by git, except the
empty `.empty`, which is there as workaround to force git to include empty
directories in the repository (See [1] for more information about this
"feature").
These specific configuration files can be used for configurations that depend
on a particular piece of hardware being available, or to have a different shell
prompt for different machines, etc. I use it to store all my work-specific
configuration so that I can keep a common base environment in all my home and
work computers.
Since the local directory is ignored, you can also initialise a different git
repository in it.

EXCLUSIVE-Unilever launches new bid to sell Q Tips and other brands-sources
By Abigail Summerville
Sept 20 (Reuters) - Unilever Plc ULVR.L has hired investment banks Morgan Stanley MS.N and Evercore Inc EVR.N to sell a basket of non-core beauty and personal care brands that include Q-Tips and Impulse, reviving an effort it abandoned two years ago, according to people familiar with the matter.
The revival of the sale process, which has not been previously reported, represents the first major move by Hein Schumacher, who took over as Unilever's chief executive in July with a focus to streamline its business as it grapples with inflation.
The brand portfolio, known as Elida Beauty, also includes Caress, TIGI, Timotei, Monsavon, St. Ives, Zwitsal, Ponds, Brut, Moussel, Alberto Balsam and Matey. Elida generated about $760 million in revenue in 2022, according to the sources.
Unilever worked with Credit Suisse in 2021 to divest Elida but pulled the process later that year, after cherry-picking of the brands for sale by other consumer companies led to offers that did not meet its valuation expectations, the sources said.
Since then, Unilever has worked to make Elida an autonomous unit that could also appeal in its entirety to private equity firms, the sources added. Morgan Stanley and Evercore have now contacted several parties to gauge acquisition interest in Elida for what could be a multi-billion-dollar deal, according to the sources.
The sources requested anonymity because the matter is confidential. Unilever, Morgan Stanley and Evercore declined to comment.
The consumer goods industry has struggled with soaring costs for about two years, as everything from sunflower oil and shipping to packaging and grain has become more expensive. This has prompted Unilever, the maker of Dove soap and Ben & Jerry's ice cream, to review its portfolio of non-core assets it can sell to raise cash.
Unilever beat underlying sales growth forecasts in the second quarter after raising prices to offset the higher costs. It has also considered selling some of its U.S. ice cream brands, including Klondike and Breyers.

How Do You Identify Rear End Codes?
Rear end codes, or rear differential codes, vary among manufacturers. Identify General Motors, Ford and Dana Spicer codes using resources from Differentials.com and Dana.com. For other manufacturers, check the VIN at a dealership, or use a combination of mechanical and visual identifiers to determine which differential is in a vehicle.
Dana Spicer rear ends are used on Ford, GM and Chrysler vehicles, and the company provides more information in its codes than any of the axle manufacturers. On a Dana Spicer axle, there is a metal tag attached to the cover of the rear differential and an etching on the housing itself with a six-digit code; the code starts with either a "6" or "2." Entering that code into the BOM identifier at Dana.com returns the rear end in question with gear ratio and differential type.
Ford axles use a similar metal tag on the axle itself that identifies gear ratio, differential type and manufacturing information, according to Differentials.com. There are not identifiable codes on axles manufactured by GM, but in a GM vehicle (regardless of the manufacturer of the rear end), the RPO codes in the glove box beginning with the letter "G" identify gear ratio and differential type.
Differentials.com provides visual identifiers for rear ends by differential cover. Many look identical but still have significant mechanical differences. Similarly, codes on rear ends manufactured by Toyota, Chrysler and others do not have reliable identification methods except through dealerships.

The dynamic kb-equation (Source File: kbeq.F90)
INTERFACE:
subroutine kbeq(nlev,dt,u_taus,u_taub,z0s,z0b,h,NN,SS)
DESCRIPTION:
The transport equation for (half the) buoyancy variance, $ k_b= {\langle b'^2 \rangle} /2$, follows from the equation for the buoyancy fluctations (see Sander (1998)). In the case of a Boussinesq-fluid, this equation can be written as
$\displaystyle \dot{k_b} = {\cal D}_b + P_b - \epsilon_b \; , \quad$ (158)
where $ \dot{k_b}$ denotes the material derivative of $ k_b$. $ P_b$ is the production of $ k_b$ be mean density gradients, and $ \epsilon_b$ the rate of molecular destruction. $ {\cal D}_b$ represents the sum of the viscous and turbulent transport terms. It is presently evaluated with a simple down gradient model in GOTM.
The production of buoyancy variance by the vertical density gradient is
$\displaystyle P_b = - {\langle w'b' \rangle} \dfrac{\partial {B}}{\partial {z}} = - {\langle w'b' \rangle} N^2 \quad .$ (159)
Its computation is discussed in section 4.7.21.
The rate of molecular destruction, $ \epsilon_b$, can be computed from either a transport equation or a algebraic expression, section 4.7.10.

José Azcona del Hoyo
José Simón Azcona del Hoyo (26 January 1927 – 24 October 2005) was President of Honduras from 27 January 1986 to 27 January 1990 for the Liberal Party of Honduras (PLH). He was born in La Ceiba in Honduras.
Early life and career
Azcona spent the years from 1935 to 1949 living in Cantabria, Spain with his maternal grandparents. He grew up there during the Spanish Civil War. He returned to Honduras in 1949, working in his family's trading company. He then went to study in the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) graduating in civil engineering, with postgraduate studies from the University of Monterrey in Mexico.
President of Honduras
As the PLH were unable to decide on a single candidate they ended up fielding four candidates, including Azcona, against the one National Party of Honduras (PNH) candidate Rafael Leonardo Callejas Romero. Because the PLH candidates gained 51.5% of the vote between them, and as Azcona gained the highest of the 4, he gained the presidency with only 27.5% of the vote, even though Callejas gained 42.6% of the vote. This was the first transfer of power from one constitutional, elected president to another since 1948, and the first time it happened democratically since 1932.
Azcona's success as a president has been contested across the political spectrum. While his followers and a large proportion of the population would favour him due to the perceived honesty and integrity of his government, another group would challenge this view, arguing that he pursued a weak economic policy (artificially maintaining a 2:1 exchange rate between the Honduran lempira and the US dollar), ran up large budget deficits and did little to develop investment opportunities in the country. Many people still remember the fuel supply problems, mostly in the last part of his government due to foreign credit issues.
During his presidency, the Central American peace process took place, by the time he turned over the presidency to his successor on 27 January 1990 the Contra rebels in Nicaragua were demobilising. Less known is the relationship between Honduras and the US Government covert operations to exchange arms for hostages in Iran and fund rebels, later known as The Iran Contra Affair.
Post-presidency
After leaving power Azcona concentrated on running his construction business. At the end of the nineties he had a heart attack. On 24 October 2005 at 12.30 a.m. (local time UTC−6) just as he was going to bed in his home in Tegucigalpa, Azcona died suddenly from another heart attack, at the age of 78.
Trivia
* Azcona's last trip was to Pensacola, Florida where he met with his wife's (Miriam Bocock de Azcona) side of the family before he died.
* His son José Azcona Bocock is currently an elected Congressman.
* His daughter Elizabeth Azcona Bocock was Minister of Industry and Commerce for the first half of Mel Zelaya's presidency.

Battle Between Carnival and Lent
Battle Between Carnival and Lent is an oil painting by Dutch artist Jan Miense Molenaer, located in the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana. Painted ca. 1633–1634, it depicts a brawl between rowdy peasants, representing Carnival, and a group of monks, representing Lent. The rowdy combatants are armed with comical implements representing their sides, such as a peasant with a beer tankard battling a monk armed with fish.
Description
This painting is based on the mock battles that occurred as the revelry of Carnival gave way to Lenten abstinence. The peasants on the side of Carnival are armed with beer tankards, cooking implements, and sausage, while the monks and priests who stand for Lent brandish dried codfish. This comic scene is both a condemnation of the immorality that had come to mark many Roman Catholic feasts, and a subtler commentary about the struggle between the Protestant Dutch Republic and the Catholic Southern Netherlands, which were subjugated by Spain. This critique is clearest in the soldier choking a Dutch boy in the foreground. Although the figures are all very engaging and animated, their imperfect anatomy marks this as one of Molenaer's earlier efforts.
Historical information
Based upon their similar sizes, shapes, and subject matter, Battle Between Carnival and Lent was probably originally paired with The King Drinks as a pendant. That painting, from ca. 1635, depicts the revelry of Twelfth Night, the eve of the Feast of the Epiphany, again using the overindulgence of the peasants as a warning against gluttony and impiety. Of the two, Battle Between Carnival and Lent is the more polished artwork.
Acquisition
The IMA acquired Battle Between Carnival and Lent in 1998. It was purchased in honor of A. Ian Fraser, with additional funding provided by the David L. Chambers, Jr. Fund for Dutch and Flemish Art, the Dr. V.K. Stoelting Art Fund, and Jane W. Myers. It has the accession number 1998.96.

Top chip analyst on Qualcomm-NXP deal and who's next
Top-ranked analyst Timothy Arcuri of Cowen, who argued for a merger between Qualcomm and NXP Semiconductors a year ago, boosted his target price for Qualcomm by 8 percent to $74 on Thursday following news that a merger agreement between the two had been reached. The analyst also gave his predictions on future M&A in the chip space, including a competing bid for NXP. "While not without integration challenges, the bottom line is that we love this deal for QCOM…" wrote Arcuri in a research note. "Given the significant accretion to this deal and how much we think QCOM needs NXPI, we are frankly a bit surprised NXPI would not push for a higher price. " Arcuri's picks have a 13 percent one-year average return with a 66 percent success rate, according to analyst ranking service TipRanks, placing him in the top 2 percent of all Wall Street analysts covering any industry.

Mohawk Valley Landsharks
The Mohawk Valley Landsharks were a minor league baseball team based in Little Falls, New York in the state's Mohawk Valley region. The team played its games in The Northeast League (later known as the Can-Am League. The Northeast League was an independent baseball league and as such none of its teams had an affiliation with Major League Baseball. The team existed for just one season, 1995, and played its home games at Little Falls Veterans Memorial Park.
History
When the Northeast League was formed and played its first season in 1995 it was a 6-team league with all six teams being located in the State of New York. The Landsharks would be one of those six original teams. The Landsharks would have a very successful season in their first year, finishing 2nd in the league with a 47-23 record. They would make the Northeast League playoffs, but lose in the first round. Although the team played very well on the field, the club was plagued by poor attendance numbers. At the end of the season the team would fold and be replaced by The Rhode Island Tiger Sharks, who would suffer the same fate as the Landsharks, only lasting one season.

Vardø
Vardø is a town in Finnmark. It is the easternmost point of Norway; as strange as it may seem, it lies east of Istanbul! Vardø is one of the few towns with an Arctic climate within Norway. Annual average temperature is, while monthly average for July is. Because of the rough climate there are no natural trees in Vardø.
By car
Vardø is the endpoint for E75. It is the only road from other regions, but it is possible to transport a car (not a motorhome) and yourself on Hurtigruten.
By bus
Search 177.no for bus connections. There are buses from Vadsø, Kirkenes and Tana. From Tana there are buses to Finland.
By boat
Vardø is a port on Hurtigruten, and a quick visit to the fort can just be managed on the southbound voyage.

11. A Pirate’s Last Minute Change of Sides Helped End the Golden Age of Piracy
Benjamin Hornigold (1680 – 1719) was licensed with letters of Marque to legally prey upon French shipping during the War of the Spanish Succession. After the war, he switched from privateering to outright piracy. Eventually, he became one of the Caribbean’s most notorious pirates, and by 1717, he commanded the most powerful ship in the region: a 30 gun sloop, the Ranger, which allowed him to prey on shipping with impunity. His first mate was Edward Teach, later known as Blackbeard, and his proteges and acquaintances included other future notorious pirates such as Black Sam Bellamy and Stede Bonnet. Hornigold operated mainly near the Bahamas, and his base of operations was Nassau, which had become a notorious pirates’ nest. Hornigold and a bitter rival, Henry Jennings, transformed Nassau into a de facto Pirates’ Republic, governed by its own code of conduct and regulations.
The End of the Pirates’ Republic
In 1718, a new British governor offered a royal pardon to all who turned themselves in abandoned piracy. Hornigold came in at the last minute before the offer expired, and the governor commissioned him to hunt down those who had failed to accept the pardon. Accepting the commission, Hornigold turned upon his former friends and fell upon them with a will. He turned out to be an even better pirate hunter than he had been a pirate, and by December, 1718, Hornigold had captured 10 recalcitrant pirate captains, of whom 9 were executed. His actions effectively brought the Pirates’ Republic in Nassau to an end, and reestablished British control, and law and order, in the Bahamas. He was sailing about, hunting more pirates, when he drowned after his ship was caught in a storm and wrecked on an uncharted reef in late 1719.

MORNING BID-The calm before the possible Fed storm
A look at the day ahead from Saikat Chatterjee.
World markets held their breath before the conclusion of a two-day Federal Reserve policy meeting on Wednesday, where Jerome Powell and his colleagues could flag the pending start of talks about when and how to exit from policies introduced at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic last year.
European and U.S. stock futures treaded water while the usually frisky Australian dollar is set to notch up its lowest daily trading range so far this year before the Fed's decision. A gauge of U.S. stock market volatility remained firmly pinned near 2021 lows.
Key will be Fed members' projections, or dot plots, for interest rates and whether more now signal a hike in 2023. Previously only 7 out of 18 had seen such a move. There could also be some upward movement in inflation projections for this year.
The overnight slate of data also signalled a global economy firmly on the mend amid growing price pressures. Japan's exports rose at the fastest pace since 1980 in May while U.S. data showed wholesale price inflation accelerated to 6.6%, the largest gain since November 2010. British consumer price inflation jumped to 2.1% in May, above the Bank of England's 2.0% target and its highest since July 2019.
But bond investors remain sanguine about the prospect of a shift in policy thinking. Benchmark ten-year U.S. Treasury yields held a quarter of a percentage point below 2021 highs while the European Union raised 20 billion euros in ten-year debt yielding less than 0.1% amid near-record demand.
The only signs of investor nervousness were evident in the currency markets where the dollar held comfortably at a one-month high with cauious traders pushing the greenback higher in the backdrop of large short bets.
In corporate news, Swiss bank Credit Suisse CSGN.S has prepared its first insurance claims on losses stemming from its $10 billion of funds tied to collapsed finance group Greensill Capital, the Financial Times reported.
Key developments that should provide more direction to markets on Wednesday:
European Q1 wages, labour costs data
BOE's Mills, Patel at Central bank meeting
Spain economy minister Calvino at conference
Fed chief Powell press conference
U.S. President Biden to meet Russia's Putin in Geneva

,, In the article Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul there is Category:Baroque churches in Malta ...whether it is certainly the Baroque style? I have serious doubts. Subtropical -man (talk / en-2 ) 01:34, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
* The article is a start but we can still clarify it. The exterior is neo-baroque (neoclassical and Baroque) which is common to Maltese churches. However this should be based on sources not self-interpretation. The interior is probably Baroque. In any case the article needs much more work.

Ahhiyawā, also called Ahhiyā, ancient kingdom lying to the west of the Hittite empire. The exact location of Ahhiyawā is not definitely known but may have been western Anatolia or one of the islands in the Aegean Sea. The most commonly held theory is that the people of Ahhiyawā were the Achaeans of Homer, early Mycenaean Greeks. Another theory represents them as ancestors of the Trojans. In any case, it seems quite certain that the Ahhiyawāns were a powerful seafaring people.
Much of what is known about Ahhiyawā has been derived from Hittite texts. The earliest references to the kingdom occur in documents prepared during the reign of Suppiluliumas (c. 1380–46 bce). It seems that Ahhiyawā was a large and formidable kingdom with which the Hittites had good relations. Later documents indicate that members of the Ahhiyawān royal family traveled to the Hittite capital of Hattusa to study the charioteer’s art and that a statue of the god of Ahhiyawā was brought to the Hittite king Mursilis II (reigned c. 1340–00 bce) to cure his illness. The Ahhiyawāns apparently became a threat to the Hittite empire during the reign of Tudhaliyas IV (c. 1250–20 bce). With the fall of the Hittite empire, lack of textual evidence has left unknown the fate of the Ahhiyawāns after the 13th century bce.

Title: Multielectrode Transcranial Electrical Stimulation of the Left and Right Prefrontal Cortices Differentially Impacts Verbal Working Memory Neural Circuitry
Abstract
Recent studies have examined the effects of conventional transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working memory (WM) performance, but this method has relatively low spatial precision and generally involves a reference electrode that complicates interpretation. Herein, we report a repeated-measures crossover study of 25 healthy adults who underwent multielectrode tDCS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), right DLPFC, or sham in 3 separate visits. Shortly after each stimulation session, participants performed a verbal WM (VWM) task during magnetoencephalography, and the resulting data were examined in the time–frequency domain and imaged using a beamformer. We found that after left DLPFC stimulation, participants exhibited stronger responses across a network of left-lateralized cortical areas, including the supramarginal gyrus, prefrontal cortex, inferior frontal gyrus, and cuneus, as well as the right hemispheric homologues of these regions. Importantly, these effects were specific to the alpha-band, which has been previously implicated in VWM processing. Although stimulation condition did not significantly affect performance, stepwise regression revealed a relationship between reaction time and response amplitude in the left precuneus and supramarginal gyrus. These findings suggest that multielectrode tDCS targeting the left DLPFC affects the neural dynamics underlying offline VWM processing, including utilization of a more extensive bilateral cortical network.

1. Key points
Visual attention involves discrete multispectral oscillatory responses in visual and ‘higher‐order’ prefrontal cortices.
Prefrontal cortex laterality effects during visual selective attention are poorly characterized.
High‐definition transcranial direct current stimulation dynamically modulated right‐lateralized fronto‐visual theta oscillations compared to those observed in left fronto‐visual pathways.
Increased connectivity in right fronto‐visual networks after stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex resulted in faster task performance in the context of distractors.
Our findings show clear laterality effects in theta oscillatory activity along prefrontal–visual cortical pathways during visual selective attention.
Abstract
Studies of visual attention have implicated oscillatory activity in the recognition, protection and temporal organization of attended representations in visual cortices. These studies have also shown that higher‐order regions such as the prefrontal cortex are critical to attentional processing, but far less is understood regarding prefrontal laterality differences in attention processing. To examine this, we selectively applied high‐definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD‐tDCS) to the left or right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We predicted that HD‐tDCS of the leftversusright prefrontal cortex would differentially modulate performance on a visual selective attention task, and alter the underlying oscillatory network dynamics. Our randomized crossover design included 27 healthy adults that underwent three separate sessions of HD‐tDCS (sham, left DLPFC and right DLPFC) for 20 min. Following stimulation, participants completed an attention protocol during magnetoencephalography. The resulting oscillatory dynamics were imaged using beamforming, and peak task‐related neural activity was subjected to dynamic functional connectivity analyses to evaluate the impact of stimulation site (i.e. left and right DLPFC) on neural interactions. Our results indicated that HD‐tDCS over the left DLPFC differentially modulated right fronto‐visual functional connectivity within the theta band compared to HD‐tDCS of the right DLPFC and further, specifically modulated the oscillatory response for detecting targets among an array of distractors. Importantly, these findings provide network‐specific insight into the complex oscillatory mechanisms serving visual selective attention.

2. Abstract Working memory (WM) is a fundamental cognitive ability that supports complex thought but is limited in capacity. Thus, WM training interventions have become very popular as a means of potentially improving WM-related skills. Another promising intervention that has gained increasing traction in recent years is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a noninvasive form of brain stimulation that can modulate cortical excitability and temporarily increase brain plasticity. As such, it has the potential to boost learning and enhance performance on cognitive tasks. This study assessed the efficacy of tDCS to supplement WM training. Sixty-two participants were randomized to receive either right prefrontal, left prefrontal, or sham stimulation with concurrent visuospatial WM training over the course of seven training sessions. Results showed that tDCS enhanced training performance, which was strikingly preserved several months after training completion. Furthermore, we observed stronger effects when tDCS was spaced over a weekend break relative to consecutive daily training, and we also demonstrated selective transfer in the right prefrontal group to nontrained tasks of visual and spatial WM. These findings shed light on how tDCS may be leveraged as a tool to enhance performance on WM-intensive learning tasks.

3. Abstract
Research investigating transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to enhance cognitive training augments both our understanding of its long‐term effects on cognitive plasticity as well as potential applications to strengthen cognitive interventions. Previous work has demonstrated enhancement of working memory training while applying concurrent tDCS to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). However, the optimal stimulation parameters are still unknown. For example, the timing of tDCS delivery has been shown to be an influential variable that can interact with task learning. In the present study, we used tDCS to target the right DLPFC while participants trained on a visuospatial working memory task. We sought to compare the relative efficacy of online stimulation delivered during training to offline stimulation delivered either immediately before or afterwards. We were unable to replicate previously demonstrated benefits of online stimulation; however, we did find evidence that offline stimulation delivered after training can actually be detrimental to training performance relative to sham. We interpret our results in light of evidence suggesting a role of the right DLPFC in promoting memory interference, and conclude that while tDCS may be a promising tool to influence the results of cognitive training, more research and an abundance of caution are needed before fully endorsing its use for cognitive enhancement. This work suggests that effects can vary substantially in magnitude and direction between studies, and may be heavily dependent on a variety of intervention protocol parameters such as the timing and location of stimulation delivery, about which our understanding is still nascent.

4. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to enhance divergent and convergent creative thinking. Yet, how stimulation impacts creative performance over time, and what cognitive mechanisms underlie any such enhancement, remain largely unanswered questions. In the present research, we aimed to (1) verify the impact of DLPFC tDCS on both convergent and divergent thinking, and further investigated (2) the temporal dynamics of divergent thinking, focusing on the serial order effect (i.e., the tendency for ideas to become more original and less frequent over time), and (3) any role that cognitive inhibition may play in mediating any effect of stimulation on creative thinking (considering the DLPFC’s involvement in driving inhibitory processes that are also relevant for creative thinking). In a within-subjects design, twenty-six participants received three types of cross-hemispheric tDCS stimulation over the DLPFC (left cathodal and right anodal, L-R+; left anodal and right cathodal, L+R-; and sham). Before stimulation, they completed a pre-flanker task measuring cognitive inhibition; during stimulation, they completed the Alternate Uses Task (AUT), Remote Associates Test (RAT), and post-flanker task. Results showed that, compared with the sham stimulation, originality of responses in the AUT was significantly enhanced in the L+R- condition, while no tDCS effect was observed for the RAT. Additionally, compared with the other stimulation conditions, we found a diminished serial order effect in the L+R- condition characterized by an accelerated production of more original ideas. Critically, the L+R- condition was accompanied by better performance on the flanker task. Our findings thus verify that L+R- tDCS over the DLPFC accelerates idea originality also providing tentative clues that inhibition may act as a cognitive mechanism underlying enhancements in divergent thinking resulting from frontal lobe neuromodulation.

5. null (Ed.)
Abstract Neuroimaging and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) research has revealed that generating novel ideas is associated with both reductions and increases in prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity, and engagement of posterior occipital cortex, among other regions. However, there is substantial variability in the robustness of these tDCS‐induced effects due to heterogeneous sample sizes, different creativity measures, and methodological diversity in the application of tDCS across laboratories. To address these shortcomings, we used twelve different montages within a standardized tDCS protocol to investigate how altering activity in frontotemporal and occipital cortex impacts creative thinking. Across four experiments, 246 participants generated either the common or an uncommon use for 60 object pictures while undergoing tDCS. Participants also completed a control short-term memory task. We applied active tDCS for 20 min at 1.5 mA through two 5 cm × 5 cm electrodes over left or right ventrolateral prefrontal (areas F7, F8) or occipital (areas O1, O2) cortex, concurrent bilateral stimulation of these regions across polarities, or sham stimulation. Cathodal stimulation of the left, but not right, ventrolateral PFC improved fluency in creative idea generation, but had no effects on originality, as approximated by measures of semantic distance. No effects were obtained for the control tasks. Concurrent bilateral stimulation of the ventrolateral PFC regardless of polarity direction, and excitatory stimulation of occipital cortex did not alter task performance. Highlighting the importance of cross-experimental methodological consistency, these results extend our past findings and contribute to our understanding of the role of left PFC in creative thinking.

Hey there,
I was unsure whether to post a topic about adding features to blogger, but since I found it a bit confusing and took a while, I decided to make a very short and simple post about it.
Basically you have two options:
I have used both, and, to be honest I'm not sure yet about which one I prefer, so choose yourself. Let's see how to install and use both.
Google code Prettyfier
This is probably the easiest one to install and use, and the results are pretty neat.
Installation
• Go to Dashboard->Design->Edit Html and using your browser's search functionality find the <\head> string.
• Just above that string paste the following:
<link href="http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/prettify.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/prettify.js"></script>
• Now search for the <body string in your html template and add the following:
<body onload='prettyPrint()'>
• That's it, you are all set, ready to use.
Usage
• To use, simply surround the text (normally some kind of source) with:
<pre class="prettyprint">
Whatever you want to add goes here...
</pre>
• Let us see how it works with some real code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
}
EDIT:
After doing some cross-browser testing, I found out that there was a problem in FireFox with Google code prettyfier, for some reason it wouldn't automatically create scroll bars or crop the text when it was too large. After doing some digging and asking here, I fixed it following these instructions:
• Remove what we did previously, go to Dashboard->Desing and edit Html template
• Look for the following code at your template:
<link href="http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/prettify.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/prettify.js"></script>
• Remove that code
• Save your template
• Go to Dashboard -> Design and create a new Widget->HTML/Javascript one
• Don't put any title on it, we will just use it for styling our post that use google code prettyfier
• Paste the following code:
<style type="text/css">
.post .prettyprint {
border:1px #5C5C5C;
background-color:#EDEDED;
overflow:auto;
}
.post .prettyprint ol.linenums li {
list-style-type:decimal-leading-zero;
}
.post .nocode {
background-color:#fff;
border-right:1px dotted #666;
}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
/* Pretty printing styles. Used with prettify.js. */
.str { color: #080; }
.kwd { color: #008; }
.com { color: #800; }
.typ { color: #606; }
.lit { color: #066; }
.pun { color: #660; }
.pln { color: #000; }
.tag { color: #008; }
.atn { color: #606; }
.atv { color: #080; }
.dec { color: #606; }
pre.prettyprint { padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #888 }
/* Specify class=linenums on a pre to get line numbering */
ol.linenums { margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0 } /* IE indents via margin-left */
li.L0,
li.L1,
li.L2,
li.L3,
li.L5,
li.L6,
li.L7,
li.L8 { list-style-type: none }
/* Alternate shading for lines */
li.L1,
li.L3,
li.L5,
li.L7,
li.L9 { background: #eee }
@media print {
.str { color: #060; }
.kwd { color: #006; font-weight: bold; }
.com { color: #600; font-style: italic; }
.typ { color: #404; font-weight: bold; }
.lit { color: #044; }
.pun { color: #440; }
.pln { color: #000; }
.tag { color: #006; font-weight: bold; }
.atn { color: #404; }
.atv { color: #060; }
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://google-code-prettify.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/prettify.js"> </script>
• You can play with the style properties as much as you want (border, background-color, etc), I used those values but you can use whatever you want, just a matter of taste.
• The important thing that solves the above issue is the overflow:auto property, that automatically adds scrollbars when needed.
• You can check this very own post for cross browsing compatibility here to see how this is looking good now mostly in every browser.
Syntax Highlighter
This one is a bit tricky to make it work and its usage is not as simple as with the previous one, mostly because you have to specify the language you want to highlight. Besides is the one most used, and there is tons of tutorials and information about how to get it working. Anyway, lets get going.
Installation
There two options here, you can download the .css and .js to your host or whetever you can host and access those files OR you can just use the uploaded version of the same files. I opted for the second one, its quicker and you also get the latest version without having to worry about downloading them again. I will explain the second option:
• Go to Dashboard->Design->Edit HTML
• Just as before look for the <\head> string in the template HTML
• Add the following just before the searched string:
<!--SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTER BEGINS-->
<link href='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/styles/shCore.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
<link href='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/styles/shThemeDefault.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>

<script src='http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/shBrushPerl.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script language='javascript'>
SyntaxHighlighter.config.bloggerMode = true;
SyntaxHighlighter.config.clipboardSwf = 'http://alexgorbatchev.com/pub/sh/current/scripts/clipboard.swf';
SyntaxHighlighter.all();
</script>
<!--SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTER ENDS-->
• That's it, you are ready to go
Usage
There are two options to use Syntax Highlighter, but I will only explain one since I could never make the other one (using the script tag) work. We will use the
tags to use it. The only real difference with the Google Code Prettyfier is that you need to specify the brush to use, that is, the language.
• Surround the text you want to highlight with:
<pre class="brush:X">
Paste your code here...
</pre>
• Change the X with the language you want to highlight, for a reference on available brushes check this
• Lets see how it behaves with some code just as before:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
}
A final note on escaping your code
Sometimes, what you paste between your <pre></pre> tags, no matter which one of the above methods you are using, you will need to escape the source you put there. The quickest way to do this is visiting this page and escaping your code there.
As I said, I'm not sure which of the above methods I prefer, Syntax HighLighter has line numbers functionality and overall code looks prettier, although in the other hand with Google code prettyfier I don't have to worry about the language, its just paste and run. Don't know, you choose :)
Alex

1. What I hate most about code in Web pages is when you directly copy & paste the code and the line numbers are also copied.
By the way, with prettyfier you can also include the line numbers.

Talk:Rotogravure
My 91-year old mom told me a "rotogravure", as used in the popular Irving Berlin song of her day, "Easter Parade", indicated (that your photo might be in) a sepia-toned section of an otherwise all black and white newspaper.
Japanese models
gravure seems to be a word used for pictures of Japanese models.
* Well indeed, and you seem to be a nerd that want to relate everything to your fetish? It is about the technique not about the subject. Would you define postcards as pictures of just because that city featured on some postcards?
* "Gravure" has multiple meanings. There's a link to the other meaning on top of the page now, so case closed.
Some images please
I was desperately looking for a wikipedia entry explaining those strange raster-dots that give this printing technique its special "look". Luckily I found some nice pages which described the process of transfering a photo to gelatin-covered carbon tissue through a raster for etching later on. Unfortunately, I can't just rip their images and put them here - so maybe I'll make some SVGs to illustrate the process.
If someone else already has some images at hand, it would be nice to have them here - especially something like this: cells and methods

* Gravure

Cylinder Recycling?
So what happens to the cylinders after they are used? Are they melted down? To scrap them would seem to be prohibitively expensive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:14, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
The rolls are made of different layers of base materials. The design itself is usually etched in the second-to-last layer, on something soft, like copper, and then the cylinders get chromed for the final layer. When the chrome wears down, it gets stripped off, and then re-chromed. The cylinders can be recycled too I believe. But this kind of printing process is really for very high-volume products. parktravelling (talk) 21:26, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
Chromed
Fixed an error earlier in the month ... apparently the rolls are coated with chrome... TjoeC (talk) 18:56, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
History
The history section of the page currently contains the claim that "In the 1930s–1960s, newspapers published relatively few photographs…" I would ask relative to what?
Many major american newspapers ran photographs on the front page before even 1910. By the mid 1910s many had sunday sections that contained photos (and text) on nearly every page. An example would be the Washington Evening Star, December 27, 1914, http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1914-12-27/ed-1. This issue had 70 total pages and photos on at least half of them. By 1919 (if not earlier) the same paper had a section specifically referred to as a rotogravure supplement, 8 pages, photo dense, no text other than captions: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83045462/1919-09-28/ed-1/seq-81, pages 81 through 88. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DiffuseGoose (talk • contribs) 14:53, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
* Relatively few compared to now, I'd suggest. The Sunday supplements were special because they contained.....a lot of photographs. Perhaps it would be better phrased something like "....newspapers, apart from their special supplements, contained relatively few photographs."
* Gravuritas (talk) 15:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
* Thanks, Grav. The time frame is also wrong. It makes it sound as though Roto sections didn't exist until the 1930s. With some simple searching today, I found the 1915 ad that references the Boston paper (added to the main text). And a little later in 1915 I've found that the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times had a four-page Rotogravure Section by Nov/21/1915 (perhaps earlier, I haven't followed it forward); pages 47-50 at http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=J-ba04ztB30C&dat=19151121&printsec=frontpage&hl=en . The New York Sun also appears to have started one around that time. In 1915 I also found many other references in one paper to a rotogravure section in another paper. I don't find much before 1915. These sections get bigger by the early 1920s. It appears these were well-established long for more than a decade before the 1930s. But since, as I understand it, "original research" is prohibited, how do I indicate this fact? It seems that about all I can do is mention a few examples, with references.DiffuseGoose (talk) 23:48, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
* Dug out 'History of Industrial Gravure Printing up to 1920' which contains all a boy could ever want to know about the subject. Will reference it properly shortly, and try to get past chapter 2. European stuff happened a bit earlier so I think the US developments are of less interest, but add it back in if you feel inclined.
* Gravuritas (talk) 00:14, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
* Cool. Much better than the previous text. It appears that adoption in the American papers lagged the European ones by about three years, 1912 vs 1915. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DiffuseGoose (talk • contribs) 14:07, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Originally published in Massage Today
February, 2010, Vol. 10, Issue 02
A few years back (2002), I co-authored a book on breathing: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Breathing Pattern Disorders. My co-authors (a physical therapist and a psychologist specializing in pain management) and I gathered together a great deal of information in order to describe how clinical management of a vast range of conditions – from anxiety, to irritable bowel, head and neck ache, low back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, fatigue and lowered pain thresholds, to name just a few – could be assisted by recognition and rehabilitation of breathing pattern disorders.
Naively, I had imagined that the excitement I felt for the topic would translate into manual and movement therapists of all schools rapidly acquiring the information and then using this for the benefit of their patients/clients. Sadly, however, the annual sales of the breathing pattern book have remained modest, if steady. However, my excitement over the topic remains as heightened as ever and this week a new piece of research has got me going again.
A recently published paper by Zieman and colleagues (2009) entitled The Amygdala Is a Chemosensor that Detects Carbon Dioxide and Acidosis to Elicit Fear Behavior offers glimpses of some of the gaps in our knowledge on this fascinating topic.
This research group from the University of Iowa has explained the mechanism whereby the brain is sensitive to increasing acidity, triggering a fear/panic response. They explain that they have identified that the amygdala is: “an important chemosensor that detects hypercarbia and acidosis and initiates behavioral responses.” They have offered a molecular explanation for how rising CO2 concentrations triggers intense fear and provides a foundation for understanding one cause of anxiety and panic disorders.
Hypercarbia refers to the physical condition of having the presence of an abnormally high level of carbon dioxide in the circulating blood. This can occur as a result of poor breathing patterns – literally hypoventilation (the exact opposite of over-breathing – hyperventilation). Hypoventilation leads to higher levels of CO2 than is normal in the blood, thus resulting in respiratory acidosis.
To clarify my excitement over these findings, I need to start somewhere else altogether – with respiratory alkalosis. When someone over-breathes – an upper chest pattern for example, with the extreme being hyperventilation – levels of CO2 drop below what is normal and alkalosis results. And when this happens, one of the first symptoms is for the individual to experience apprehension, anxiety and fear, just as they do with under-breathing and retention of CO2, as described above.
It seems that high pH (respiratory alkalosis) follows on from a period of over-breathing, which can be triggered by the acidosis influence on the amygdala, as described in this article. The over-breathing can therefore be seen as a homeostatic response to excess CO2/acidosis. Whether acidosis is due to pathology (liver or kidney disease for example) or due to pregnancy or physical exertion, or dietary imbalances, there clearly is an attempt on the part of the body to lower carbonic acid levels via CO2 elimination in rapid breathing. If, however this pattern of breathing becomes excessive — as in someone who is a chronic upper-chest breather due to habit — we get to alkalosi and a chain of symptoms including increased apprehension and anxiety.
So the fear/anxiety outcome appears with both alkalosis and acidosis. My understanding has always been that the effects of alkalosis are triggered by the respiratory centre, in the posterior aspect of the medulla, below the fourth ventricle. The really beautiful aspect of all this is the sense of balance and when we have a lack of that, not only are there physiological consequences, but emotional ones, too. And, of course, all this works the other way around: fear and anxiety might result from a variety of life events/circumstances. This will automatically trigger either rapid breathing or a shut-down/under-breathing response. The chicken and egg scenario.
How would you, as a therapist, recognize the possibility of either over- or under- breathing? The symptoms would tell you a lot, as would the observed behavior of the person sitting in front of you as you take their case details.
Rapid breathing, perhaps? Air-hunger or attempts to inhale like a fish out of water? Speaking quickly, with irregular stops to grab a breath of air? And a list of symptoms as outlined earlier in this article . Now that describes the hyperventilation end of the spectrum. At the other end, you might have the virtually frozen breathing pattern – very superficial, with breath-holding a feature. In either case, breathing rehabilitation is called for and this involves both manual work to free-up the thoracic cage, diaphragm, etc., as well as gentle exercises for home use because without regular home application of retraining, there is no real chance of recovery.

2020 Democrats mark 7th anniversary of DACA | TheHill
Several 2020 Democrats tweeted Saturday to mark the 7th anniversary of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program or DACA, which allows people brought to the U.S. illegally as children to remain in the U.S. The Obama administration announced the program on June 15, 2012, though it did not go into effect immediately. The Trump administration announced in 2017 that it would rescind the program, which allowed hundreds of thousands of immigratns, known as Dreamers, to stay in the country. Sen. Kamala HarrisKamala Devi HarrisHarry Reid: 'Decriminalizing border crossings is not something that should be at the top of the list' Warren offers plan to repeal 1994 crime law authored by Biden Sanders leads Democratic field in Colorado poll MORE (D-Calif.) this week said she would use executive action to give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship if she were elected President. She reiterated that promise in a tweet on Saturday. Dreamers deserve peace of mind. As president, I will take action to reinstate and expand DACA. I won’t stop fighting until Dreamers are finally recognized as American citizens. Obama-administration Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro tweeted a video of his former boss discussing the program. Castro pledged to protect Dreamers with "a lasting solution at all costs." Six years ago, Pres. Obama launched #DACA to protect Dreamers who came to the US as children. Since day one, they have been under attack by the Trump admin. As president, I will protect Dreamers with a lasting solution at all costs—and won’t wait to do so. pic.twitter.com/SVyNihQBEy Sen.

Why to avoid ShellExecute!
ShellExecute() is a silly function. It still exists to allow for backwards compatibility with Systems before Windows 95. It is ridiculous to use it, while another function with a superset of functionality exists already: ShellExecuteEx(). To name just the biggest disadvantage of ShellExecute(): it prevents proper localization. The error messages are given in English only, while any error message should be shown to the user in the system’s language. Furthermore this function does not allow to map to system error codes (those you could determine via GetLastError()). As I mentioned, it’s just silly. You can get a cleaner implementation using ShellExecuteEx() and providing an interface similar to the quasi-deprecated function:
BOOL ShellExecuteNoThrow(
HWND hwnd,
LPCTSTR lpVerb,
LPCTSTR lpFile,
LPCTSTR lpParameters,
LPCTSTR lpDirectory,
INT nShowCmd)
{
SHELLEXECUTEINFO sei = {
sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO),
0,
hwnd,
lpVerb,
lpFile,
lpParameters,
lpDirectory,
nShowCmd,
0, // hInstApp
0,
0,
0,
0, // dwHotKey
0,
0
};
return ShellExecuteEx(&sei);
}
Why do I write this? Well, I know too many friends of the “good old” function …
If you need the Delphi version you might resort to this very old implementation of mine. It even allows to wait for the created process to finish. Something that most people used to implement via CreateProcess()
// Oliver
BTW: The above implementation is what I wrote for WinDirStat, you may freely use it though. Since I am the user I have all rights and put it into the public domain.

1. Oliver says:
Oh, because I got feedback off-the-blog. Yes, it is right that on newer versions of Windows GetLastError() will give you the correct error codes. However, due to the fact that this is not documented nor verified on older versions, you should not rely on it.

Introduction: How to Fix Cloudy Headlights
This instructable will walk you through refinishing your plastic headlight covers without learning how to buff plastics. Here we will use only sand paper and clear paint and achieve a renewed look to the plastic lenses on your car.
You will need:
1. a can of gloss clear paint
2. 400 grit sandpaper
3. 1200 grit sandpaper (800-2000 grit is ok)
4. painters tape or masking tape
5. about 20 minutes.
Step 1: Cloudy Headlight Fix
The reason your headlight lenses are cloudy is the surface of the plastic is crazed, damaged by weather, and has tiny road dings.
We will smooth the surface and provide something for the paint to hold onto.
Tape off the area immediately around your headlight lenses. This protects the painted and surrounding surfaces from sanding and later from overspray.
Step 2: Sanding With 400 Grit
Using lots of water and the 400 grit sandpaper, lightly sand the clear plastic lenses. I usually spend only about 2 minutes sanding each side with this grit. You should see white plastic "dust" coming off in the water. This takes the surface down to a relatively smooth face with 400 grit scratches in it. Do this as much as you feel necessary depending on the starting point of your lenses.
Step 3: Sanding With 1200 Grit
Using more water and the 1200 grit sandpaper, sand the clear plastic lenses again. This should take another 2-3 minutes per side. The point here is to take those 400 grit scratches down to even smaller 1200 grit scratches.
Step 4: Dry the Lenses
Wipe the lenses dry. If you have compressed air or a leaf blower/shop vac, blow the area dry to make sure to get all the water out from the underneath the headlights. As they dry you will see they are even more cloudy than before you started. That is ok because now we have tiny little scratches that are consistent and easily filled by the paint.
Step 5: Painting the Lenses
With everything taped off, go ahead and apply light coats of clear spray paint.
Paint runs are your enemy here, so concentrate on smooth consistent strokes with a slight overlap, leaving just enough paint in each coat to make a wet look (where the small droplets of paint flow together to become one thin film).
Use two coats applied within about 10 minutes of each other. The lenses should appear clear and shiny.
Let the paint dry and remove the tape and you are done.

Skip all the work and just use pledge on them when needed, it works just fine.
Thank you so much! I did what you said and it worked great! No more dull yellow lenses. I went and bought UV clear coat that bonds with plastic from the auto parts store $7.99 and 220, 600, 2000 grit sand paper from hardware store $13. I did 2 cars and it took me a lot longer than 20 min. The only thing I would add to this is if your lenses are severely damaged use your phone to zoom in and see if you sanded away all the micro cracks. This will give you a better end result.

Sounds like you have perfected this and I like the selection of a UV clear. Thanks for the excellent improvements.
Did you know that you can get your lenses clean with a can of Deep Woods Off? It absolutely works. Spray it on an old sock, wipe in one direction and BOOM clear lenses.
I wish I saw this 6 months ago. I bought a kit that worked awesome. It used a power drill and mad short work of it. Came out awesome.
toothpaste and a cloth works also
i would try giving them a good waxing first. I have used a real good marine wax on my lights and was amazed at how clear they were. the wax I used will bring back dead paint . if the wax isn't marine grade it won't last a month. now I try to remember to just wax them a couple times a year. if you have to sand them water water water and more water I'm out of wax and I'm not driving to the marina till spring sorry can't remember the name
I used this technique on my 2005 Nissan Altima and it worked well, but the clear coat just wasn't clear enough, will try another type of spray clear coat this spring.

Thanks for replying to my comment!
In the right light take a look at the surface and if you see scratches, then you probably needed to sand it more with the 1200/super fine paper. Make sure the clear is high gloss clear. I noticed scratches in the one pictured, so it could have been more clear, but the improvement was more than enough for the time I put in.
Years ago, there used to be the round glass vacuum-sealed headlight units. They were reasonably inexpensive and somewhat resistable to even desert climates. The double-headlight looks were not so ugly. Legislaturs should step in for the return of the inexspensive and durable headlights rather than for whether lights should be turned on or off poor issue of when cars are driven on tarmac.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but no one made the old sealed-beam lights illegal and nothing prevents a manufacturer from using them. I am not for any legislation beyond that needed for safety. To force manufactures to return to old style lights has costs too. For example, many cars would not have the low drag coefficients (thus reduced mileage) they currently exhibit. Weight would certainly increase and many car models would be required to make a complete front end redesign.
My own opinion is that we are less than 10 years from the whole industry switching to LEDs which could result in monolithic headlights disappearing. LEDs are improving at Moore's Law rate. Once LEDs can achieve illumination on parity with today's HIDs without requiring extensive heat sinking the industry will change rapidly.
Those old "sealed beam" headlights had one major disadvantage. They were DIM. You could not build the kind of bulb, in a sealed beam that would give off as much light as a modern halogen bulb. Now, it is possible to make a glass housing, and put a halogen bulb inside it, but that would cost more, and have more shape and size restrictions than the plastic lensed housings we love to hate.
Why is that important?
For the same reason cars don't have proper bumpers anymore. Because someone in Detroit (or thereabouts, I don't think anyone lives IN Detroit anymore) decided that every part of every car needs to look like it's been half melted. No straight lines, no flat surfaces, no constant-radius curves, just lumps and bumps all over the place.
?? I could buy bright sealed halogens decades ago, my 81 Prelude came with them. I went different on my older car, out in my shed I still have a set of 4 round Cibie headlights I had in a 70 Belair. I bought the lights about 1982. Leaded glass, precision cut with replaceable halogen bulbs. I bought them at an import car shop. In the outside dims I used 60/90 watt halogen bulbs, 10 watts above good stock lights on dim at the time. In the inside brights I used 100 watt halogen bulbs. I rewired the lights so my switch and floor dimmer switch only handled the current of a couple relays. The lights were ultimately run directly off the internal regulated alternator through the contacts of two relays (redundent). That gave me max voltage, 13.6 V under load. On dim the two 60 watts were activated, when on bright the outer lights switched to the 90 watt filaments and the two inner lights fired up the 100 watt bulbs. On bright the the outside lights had a very wide beam (the 90 watt filament position caused a much wider beam) and the inner brights were basically a tighter straight beam and I could see forever.
Yes, and all of those lamps were the same shape. That meant that all cars had to have a relatively flat front, to mount the headlights on. Also, those precision glass reflectors were expensive and time-consuming to make. Most people don't want that kind of quality and are not willing to wait for it, if they "cheap" and "now". The metal reflectors, and molded plastic lenses of modern "aero" headlights (an ironic term, since all airplanes of which I'm aware still use sealed beams for their landing lights) can be made quickly and cheaply, while the kind of units you refer to cannot.
I agree but IMO, we should have the option of sealed beam or the so-called modern headlamps. It would not be all THAT much trouble to design the headlight doors to accept either format.
Flitz polish works better than anything I've ever used.
I won't endorse this method
The sanding is alright but an aerosol clear is 80% solvent and the amount you actually apply to the surface is minimal. Check with a reputable body shop to see if the could apply a production clear over your prepared lights. There is a built in UV protection plus a thicker build of a catylized clear coat that will be more durable. I am a collision tech in the business and we have sanded and coated lights for customers for a few years now. Our paint rep has informed us that the company is working on a " special" clear but won't tell us NOT to do what we're doing. We have tracked some of the customers for whom we've do this and overall people are pleased
2 replies
I agree your suggestion is better, but this site is about DIY repairs, so taking the problem to a body shop kind of defeats the purpose and costs more than a few bucks for sand paper and a rattle can of clear. If done properly a rattle can can easily fill 1200 grit scratches.
I agree this is DIY, but it's a weak band-aid at best.
This is almost as bad as using a bug repellent which actually damages the plastic. Aerosol products are 80% solvents and are really not an all weather product.
Performing the prep work yourself and having it professionally coated is cost efficient and and far better result

Pamshuffle User Manual(0) Pamshuffle User Manual(0)
Updated:
NAME
pamshuffle - Shuffle pixels of a Netpbm image
SYNOPSIS
pamshuffle [-column [-randomseed integer]] [pamfile]
Minimum unique abbreviations of option are acceptable. You may use double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name from its value.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pamshuffle reads a Netpbm image as input and produces an output file with the pixels shuffled. The operation only changes the location of existing pixels; nothing is discarded or added.
By default, pixels change location within rows independently, but it is also possible to perform the same shuffle on every row, meaning the program is shuffling vertical columns of pixels. Either way, there is no vertical rearrangement; this means images consisting entirely of horizontal stripes, such as the national banners of Germany, Thailand and Ukraine, will be unchanged.
To shuffle vertically, or to perform a complete scramble, use pamshuffle together with pamflip. See examples below.
Input is from Standard Input if you don't specify the input file pamfile.
Output is to Standard Output.
pamshuffle works on a multi-image stream. It operates on each image in the stream independently and produces a multi-image stream output.
The shuffling algorithm is the widely known
Fisher-Yates method
.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
Common Options
), pamshuffle recognizes the following command line options:
Shuffle vertical columns, i.e. perform the same movement on all rows. Without this option, the program shuffles each row independently.
This is the seed for the random number generator that generates the pixels.
Use this to ensure you get the same image on separate invocations.
By default, pamshuffle uses a seed derived from the time of day and process ID, which gives you quite uncorrelated results in multiple invocations.
EXAMPLES
In the following example, output is to Standard Output. You will probably want to add redirection to somewhere useful.
• pamshuffle is useful when you want to randomize the orderly output of image generators such as pamseq and pgmramp.
Produce five permutations of integers 0 to 15:
pgmramp -lr -maxval=15 16 5 | pamshuffle -plain
• Shuffle columns:
pamshuffle -column image.ppm
• Shuffle rows:
pamflip -cw image.ppm | pamshuffle | pamflip -ccw
• Perform complete shuffle:
pamflip -cw image.ppm | pamshuffle | pamflip -ccw | pamshuffle
SEE ALSO
pamseq(1), pgmramp(1), pamflip(1), ppmshift(1), ppmspread(1), pam(5)
HISTORY
pamshuffle was new in Netpbm 10.99 (June 2022).

336 infrequent farms directly on the main road and its branches no inland settlements have followed its inauguration.
Newfoundland is not at its best until mid-July. The month of June is often so cold that winter clothing is worn. From July to November the skies are usually blue and the air bracing and not subject to extremes of either heat or cold. Fogs are rare in late summer and early fall after the Arctic ice has passed down. Western Newfoundland has very little fog and the cold raw spring departs sooner there than on the coasts which face the Atlantic. Crossing by the railway, snow may be seen on the Topsails at the crest of the interior upland as late as August in some years. During the winter 1914—1915 there were only ten days of hard "frost" and not enough snow to make good sleighing on the roads. After severe winters the frost is not out of the ground before the middle of June. The expansion of the warming earth has its effect on the road-bed of the railway which, unfortunately for those who must travel in that month, is not rock-ballasted. This is quite as potent a reason as any for the Newfoundland tour being delayed until mid-summer. When the frost is "working out," train tables are perforce disregarded, the daily express is often hours behind schedule time, and "tip-overs," especially of the rear or Pullman car, are so frequent as to cause but passing comment in the public prints.

Ukrainian Cyber Alliance
The Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA, ukr. Український кіберальянс, УКА) is a community of Ukrainian cyber activists from various cities in Ukraine and around the world. The alliance emerged in the spring of 2016 from the merger of two cyber activists, FalconsFlame and Trinity, and was later joined by the group RUH8 and individual cyber activists from the CyberHunta group. The hacktivists united to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine.
Participation in the Russian-Ukrainian cyber war
The hacktivists began to apply their knowledge to protect Ukraine in cyberspace in the spring of 2014. Over time, the hacktivists began to conduct joint operations. Gradually, some hacker groups united in the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA), in accordance with Art. 17 of the Constitution of Ukraine to defend the independence of their country and its territorial integrity, as is the duty of every citizen. The Ukrainian Cyber Alliance exclusively transmits extracted data for analysis, reconnaissance and publication to the international intelligence community Inform Napalm, as well as to the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine.
Operation #opDonbasLeaks
In the spring of 2016, the UCA conducted about one hundred successful hacks of websites and mailboxes of militants, propagandists, their curators, and terrorist organizations operating in the occupied territories. Among the targets was the mailbox of the Russian organization named "Union of Volunteers of Donbass". From this they obtained passport data and photo documents of citizens of Italy, Spain, India and Finland, fighting in the Prizrak Brigade, for which Russia grants, and, if necessary, extends visas. It was found that Russians who were wounded during the fighting in eastern Ukraine were being treated in military hospitals of the Ministry of Defense.
Hacking of the ANNA News site
On April 29, 2016, the Inform Napalm website, with a call to the UCA, reported on the hacking and interface of the Abkhazian Network News Agency (ANNA News) news agency. As a result of the hacking, the site did not work for more than 5 days. The hacktivists posted their first video message on the site's pages, in which they used the Lviv Metro meme. The message stated (translation): Hi everyone. You are at the Lviv metro station. And this is a video appeal of Ukrainian hackers to our enemies and allies. If you are watching this video, then we have cleared the information space of another Russian terrorists site. Now we turn to the enemies. Today we have removed all confidential information from your resource. Your data of administrators and users were transferred to Inform Napalm volunteer intelligence, and also sent to the Ukrainian special services. Backups of your site were destroyed, they remained only with us. We give you one last chance to start from scratch and no longer use the information space for lies and terror. We turn to the allies. Friends! Georgia, Ukraine and Syria have faced vile terrorist aggression by the Russian Federation. Many of us have lost our homes, families and loved ones. But the key to victory over the aggressor is in the consolidation of society. We are ordinary programmers, engineers and volunteers. Our weapons are reason, faith and free will. Each of you can inflict losses on the enemy. Do not buy Russian goods, do not trust the Russian media. Support the Ukrainian military and patriots. Help those who need help and protection. Support each other. Together we are the force that will win the war against a vile and lying enemy. Glory to Ukraine!
Operation #OpMay9
On May 9, 2016, the UCA conducted operation #OpMay9. Nine sites of Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) terrorists, propagandists, and Russian private military companies (RPMCs) were hacked. The broken sites were left with the hashtags #OpMay9 and #oп9Травня and three short videos about World War II and Ukrainian contributions to the victory over Nazism – what UCA called the "serum of truth". The hacktivists also posted their new video message on the terrorist sites. The video stated: God forbid. And we are in the Lviv metro again. After our previous video on April 29, some viewers decided we were joking. But we are not joking, we are speaking quite seriously. After our last attack, the popular site of aggressive Russian propaganda Anna News was unavailable for about 5 days. It is an information resource aimed at spreading lies against Georgia, Ukraine and Syria. Our first video call hung on this site for more than 5 hours, and the administrators took more than 100 hours to at least partially restore the resource. At the same time, they lost much of their data forever. It was our small gift to society for the Great Feast of the Resurrection of Christ. We have shown how light easily destroys darkness. We have enough strength and will to successfully defeat the aggressor, we just need to believe and work hard for everyone to win together. And now about the victory. Kievan Rus, and then its successor Ukraine, the Cossacks of the Zaporozhian Sich and the Kholodny Yar, soldiers of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army and Ukrainians in the ranks of the Allied armies. These are our ancestors who fought with unbreakable strength of will and shed blood for their land and freedom. 70 years ago, the Ukrainian people lost about 7 million of their sons and daughters in the fight against the aggressor and the occupier. Now a new brown plague has come to our borders, disguised by the colors of striped ribbons and Russian tricolors. But no matter how strong the enemy may seem, his destiny is to be defeated and covered with shame. The Ukrainian people, their soldiers, patriots, volunteers have already proved that the indomitable will is embedded in their genetic code. Today, on the Day of Remembrance and Victory, we are giving a new gift to Ukrainian society. On this day, the entire network of information resources of the aggressor and the sites of Russian terrorists in Donbass will be paralyzed. This video message and other materials exposing the occupiers' lies will appear on many enemy websites. We won then, we will win now. To the glory of ancestors, to the glory of the heroes of the past and the future. Glory to Ukraine!
Operation #opMay18
On May 18, 2016, on the day of remembrance of the deportation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the UCA conducted Operation #opMay18. It targeted the website of the so-called chairman of council of ministers of the Republic of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, putting in his voice the fraudulent message: Dear citizens of Crimea, today I propose to honor the memory of those difficult days of 1944 and make every effort to prevent such tragic events again. Currently, the international situation is such that in 2017, Russians can be deported from the Crimea. In conclusion, I want to say that I am very glad that the Crimean Tatar singer Jamala won the Eurovision-2016 contest, and I look forward to the successful holding of Eurovision-2017 in Ukraine, namely in the Crimea.
Channel One hacking
The UCA hacked the website of Pervy Kanal (Channel One Russia), according to hacktivists, as part of a project to force Russia to deoccupy Donbass and fulfill its obligations under the Minsk agreements. Details of Pervy Kanal propagandist Serhiy Zenin's cooperation with Russian state-owned propaganda network Russia Today were also revealed, along with documentation of Zenin's salary and lavish lifestyle. In Zenin's cloud storage were found 25 videos of DNR members shooting in the settlement of Nikishine.
Operation #opDay28
In 2016, on the eve of Constitution Day, the UCA conducted operation #opDay28. 17 resources of Russian terrorists were hacked, and the hacked sites played another Lviv Metro video which purported to be from the leader of DNR, O. Zakharchenko: On June 28, Ukraine celebrates another anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution. But now this holiday is overshadowed by the conflict in Donbass, which we, inferior fools, have resolved, and caused numerous violations of the constitutional rights of normal citizens. I have to admit that despite the work done by my stupid press service and loyal sly dogs of the MDB DNR, the whole world sees that we started playing not in our sandbox, because of which the civilian population of Donbass suffers and dies. The truth is that Rashka has once again framed us and is trying to squeeze the Donbass after the Crimea with our own hands. I personally apologize to all the people of Ukraine for their idiocy and I hope that this anniversary of the Constitution of Ukraine will be a turning point in the relations of Donbass with its Motherland - Ukraine! Contrary to racist propaganda, we are cured of schizophrenia, and the Ukrainian constitutional order will prevail in the Donbass!
Hacking of the Russian Ministry of Defense
In July 2016, the UCA hacked the document management server of the Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and made public defense contracts executed during 2015. The success of the operation was largely determined by the negligence of Russian Rear Admiral Vernigora Andrei Petrovich. At the end of November 2016, the UCA broke into the Ministry server a second time and obtained confidential data on the provision of the state defense order of 2015–2016. According to analysts of Inform Napalm, the documents show that Russia is developing a doctrine of air superiority in the event of full-scale hostilities with Ukraine, citing the amount allocated for maintenance, modernization and creation of new aircraft.
Operation #op256thDay
Before Programmer's Day, UCA conducted operation #op256thDay, in which more than 30 sites of Russian foreign aggression were destroyed. On many propaganda resources, the hacktivists embedded an Inform Napalm video demonstrating evidence of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine.
Operation #OpKomendant
The activists gained access to the postal addresses of 13 regional branches of the "military commandant's office" of the DNR in operation #OpKomendant. For six months, the data from the boxes was passed for analysis by Inform Napalm volunteers, employees of the Peacemaker Center, the Security Service of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine.
Hacking of Aleksey Mozgovoy
In October 2016, UCA obtained 240 pages of e-mail correspondence of the leader of Prizrak Brigade, Aleksey Mozgovoy. Judging by the correspondence, Mozghovyi was completely under the control of an unknown agent with the codename "Diva".
Hacking of Arsen Pavlov
The UCA obtained data from the gadgets of Arsen "Motorola" Pavlov, leader of the Sparta Battalion, and his wife Olena Pavlova (Kolienkina). In the weeks leading up to his death, Pavlov was alarmed by the conflict with Russian curators.
SurkovLeaks operation
In October 2016, the UCA accessed the mailboxes of Vladislav Surkov, Vladimir Putin's political adviser on relations with Ukraine. Acquired emails were published by Inform Napalm in late October and early November (SurkovLeaks). The emails revealed plans to destabilize and federalize Ukraine, and with other materials demonstrated high-level Russian involvement from the start of the war in eastern Ukraine. A US official told NBC News that the emails corroborated information that the US had previously provided. The authenticity of the emails was confirmed by Atlantic Council and Bellingcat, and published by numerous Western news sources. In the aftermath of the leaks, Surkov's chief of staff resigned. Additional emails belonging to people from Surkov's environs were published in early November, detailing Russia's financing of the "soft federalization" of Ukraine, recruiting in the Odesa region, and evidence of funding election campaigns in the Kharkiv region. The emails stated that Yuriy Rabotin, the head of the Odesa branch of the Union of Journalists of Ukraine, received payment from the Kremlin for his anti-Ukrainian activities. On April 19, 2018, the British newspaper The Times published an article stating that the SurkovLeaks documents exposed Russia's use of misinformation about the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 in order to accuse Ukraine.
Hacking of the DNR Ministry of Coal and Energy
In November 2016, the UCA obtained emails from the DNR's "Ministry of Coal and Energy", including a certificate prepared by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation in January 2016, which detail the plans of the occupiers for the Donbass coal industry.
FrolovLeaks
Operation FrolovLeaks was conducted in December 2016, and produced correspondence of Kyrylo Frolov, the Deputy Director of the CIS Institute (Commonwealth of Independent States) and Press Secretary of the Union of Orthodox Citizens, for the period 1997–2016. The correspondence contains evidence of Russia's preparation for aggression against Ukraine (long before 2014). It also revealed Frolov's close ties with Sergey Glazyev, the Russian president's adviser on regional economic integration, Moscow Patriarch Vladimir Gundyaev, and Konstantin Zatulin, a member of the Foreign and Defense Policy Council, an illegitimate member of the Russian State Duma and director of the CIS Institute. The letters mention hundreds of others connected with the subversive activities of Russia's fifth column organizations in Ukraine.
Hacking of Luhansk intelligence chief
For some time, UCA activists monitored the computer of the Chief of Intelligence 2 AK (Luhansk, Ukraine) of the Russian Armed Forces. This officer sent reports with intelligence obtained with the help of regular Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) – Orlan, Forpost and Takhion – which were also used to adjust fire artillery. Documents have also been published proving the existence of the Russian ground reconnaissance station PSNR-8 "Credo-M1" (1L120) in the occupied territory. In July 2017, on the basis of the obtained data, additional reconnaissance was conducted on social networks and the service of the Russian UAV Takhion (servicemen of the 138th OMSBR of the RF Armed Forces Private Laptev Denis Alexandrovich and Corporal Angalev Artem Ivanovich). The surveillance provided evidence of troop movements to the Ukraine border in August 2014. A list of these soldiers, their personal numbers, ranks, exact job titles, and information on awards for military service in peacetime were published. The operation also determined the timeline of the invasion of the Russian artillery unit of the 136th OMSBR in the summer of 2014, from the moment of loading equipment to fortifying in the occupied territory of Ukraine in Novosvitlivka, Samsonivka, and Sorokine (formerly Krasnodon).
Hacking of Oleksandr Usovskyi
In February and March 2017, the UCA exposed the correspondence of Belarus citizen Alexander Usovsky, a publicist whose articles were often published on the website of Ukrainian Choice, an anti-Ukrainian NGO backed by oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk. Inform Napalm analysts conducted a study of the emails and published two articles on how the Kremlin financed anti-Ukrainian actions in Poland and other Eastern European countries. The published materials caused outrage in Poland, the Czech Republic and Ukraine. In an interview with Fronda.pl, Polish General Roman Polko, the founder of the Polish Special Operations Forces, stated his conviction that the anti-Ukrainian actions in Poland and the desecration of Polish monuments in Ukraine were inspired by the Kremlin. Polko said that the information war posed a threat to the whole of Europe, and that the Polish radicals were useful idiots manipulated by Russia.
Hacking of CIS Institute
An analysis of hacked emails from CIS Institute (Commonwealth of Independent States) revealed that the NGO is financed by the Russian state company Gazprom. Gazprom allocated $2 million annually to finance the anti-Ukrainian activities of the CIS Institute. The head of the institute, State Duma deputy Konstantin Zatulin, helped terrorists and former Berkut members who fled to Russia to obtain Russian passports.
Hacking of Russian Foundation for Public Diplomacy
Access to the mail of O. M. Gorchakovan, an employee of the Russian Foundation for Public Diplomacy, provided insight to the forms of Russia's foreign policy strategy. On the eve of the war, funding for a six-month propaganda plan in Ukraine reached a quarter of a million dollars. Under the guise of humanitarian projects, subversive activities were carried out in Ukraine, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Moldova, and the Baltic States.
Hacking of Oleksandr Aksinenko
UCA activists gained access to the mailbox of telephone miner Oleksandr Aksineko, a citizen of Russia and Israel. The correspondence indicates that Aksinenko's terrorist activities are supported by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB), which advised him to "work in the same spirit". Aksinenko also sent anonymous letters to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and other structures in Ukraine.
#FuckResponsibleDisclosure flashmob
At the end of 2017, the UCA and other IT specialists held a two-month action to assess the level of protection of Ukrainian public resources, to check whether officials were responsible with information security. Many vulnerabilities were uncovered in the information systems of government agencies. The activists identified reported these vulnerabilities openly to those who could influence the situation. The activists noted the effectiveness in publicly shaming government agencies. For example, it was found that the computer of the Main Directorate of the National Police in Kyiv region could be accessed without a password and found on a network drive 150 GB of information, including passwords, plans, protocols, and personal data of police officers. It was also found that the Bila Tserkva police website had been hacked for a long time, and only after the volunteers noticed did the situation improve. SCFM had not updated servers for 10 years. Activists also found that the website of the Judiciary of Ukraine kept reports of the courts in the public domain. The Kherson Regional Council has opened access to the joint disk. The CERT-UA website (Ukraine's computer emergency response team) posted a password from one of their email accounts. One of the capital's taxi services was found to keep open information about clients, including dates, phone numbers, and departure and destination addresses. Vulnerabilities were also revealed in Kropyvnytskyi's Vodokanal, Energoatom, Kyivenerhoremont, NAPC, Kropyvnytskyi Employment Center, Nikopol Pension Fund, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs (declarations of employees, including special units, were made public).
The police opened a criminal case against "Dmitry Orlov", the pseudonym of the activist who publicized the vulnerabilities in a flash mob. They also allegedly tried to hack the Orlov website, leaving a message which threatened physical violence if he continued his activities. The activist deleted the website as it had fulfilled its function.
List-1097
UCA activists obtained records of orders to provide food for servicemen of 18 separate motorized rifle brigades of the Russian Armed Forces, who were sent on combat missions during the Russian occupation of Crimea. Inform Napalm volunteers searched open sources of information for the social network profiles of servicemen named in the orders, and discovered photo evidence of their participation in the occupation of Crimea. Records also revealed how troops had been transferred to the Crimea, at Voinka.
On January 31, 2017, the central German state TV channel ARD aired a story about the cyber war between Ukraine and Russia. The story documented the repeated cyber attacks by Russian hackers on the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine and efforts to counter Russian aggression in cyberspace, in particular the Surkov leaks. Representatives of the UCA were portrayed as the heroes of the story.
Former State Duma deputy Denis Voronenkov (who received Ukrainian citizenship) made statements that Surkov was categorically against the annexation of Crimea. In response, the UCA released photos and audio recordings of the congress of the Union of Donbas Volunteers, from May 2016 in annexed Crimea and November 2016 in Moscow, at which Surkov was the guest of honor.
Volunteers of the Inform Napalm community created a film about UCA's activities called Cyberwar: a review of successful operations of the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance in 2016.
Hacking of the Trigona Ransomware Gang
On October 12th, 2023, UCA hacktivist herm1t posted screenshots of a Russian Confluence page claiming it to be a ransomware group. This ended up belonging to the Trigona ransomware gang, and the UCA exfiltrated data from the threat actor's website. This included the administrator and victim panels, their blog, their leak site, cryptocurrency hot wallets, and data from the development environment including source code and database records. UCA also managed to map out the group's entire network infrastructure. By the time Trigona noticed and attempted to change their passwords and take their public facing infrastructure offline, the data had already been exfiltrated. Following exfiltration, UCA deleted all information and defaced Trigona's public facing websites on October 17th.
Three backups of data presumed to be stolen from victims of the Trigona gang was recovered, and UCA pledged to release any decryption keys should they be discovered.

How do you calculate standard deviation for each raster if you have set of rasters (100)? I was searching in raster calculator, but I didnt find it. Also google redirect me to using R or python. But I have just started learning.
So is there som easy way? Or I should really start learning python / R.
I have seen one post here. About Grass, but they was calculating stdev. across multiple rasters.

• Do you want to calculate the standard deviation across the entire raster, or in parts of it? Commented Oct 22, 2015 at 14:56
• @MikkelLydholmRasmussen i have split one raster to many small... So for parts....right now Im looking at RasterStats plugin, but it seems like it is not working on new qgia
– ABCD
Commented Oct 22, 2015 at 14:59
• You could look at Zonal Statistics. It does focus on using polygons, as zones, but you should be able to relatively easily create those polygons from your small rasters. See qgis.org/en/site/forusers/visualchangelog210/… Commented Oct 22, 2015 at 15:08

You don't need to write code if you have GDAL installed (if you have QGIS installed that should be the case, but you can install GDAL seperately if you want/need to)
This assumes you want a separate stddev for each image. If you want the stddev across ALL the images, you'll need to do a Raster Merge to combine them into a single raster.
The gdalinfo tool with its-stats option will spit out several summary stats for each band in a raster:-
... snip ...
Band 1 Block=1000x1 Type=Float32, ColorInterp=Undefined
Min=11.550 Max=26.510
Minimum=11.550, Maximum=26.510, Mean=14.233, StdDev=0.837
NoData Value=-9999
Metadata:
STATISTICS_MAXIMUM=26.510000228882
STATISTICS_MEAN=14.233161129209
STATISTICS_MINIMUM=11.550000190735
STATISTICS_STDDEV=0.83723688736979
If you're using Linux, a short script can be set up to extract the STDDEV for mutiple files. In this case I'm running against hundreds of small ascii grid tiles of Open Lidar Data, and getting a separate stddev for each. You can simply change this to *.tiff; GDAL supports lots of raster formats.
#!/bin/bash
for i in $( ls *.asc); do
gdalinfo -stats $i | grep STDDEV
done
You should be able to do something similar on Windows if you're using that.

One method which I used quite a while ago was to print the standard deviations in the Python Console in QGIS. I would first load all the raster layers (easier if they're kept in the same directory):
import os, glob
layers=[]
raster_path = "C:\Users\You\Desktop\Raster_folder\\" # Path to directory containing rasters
for raster in glob.glob(raster_path + "*.tif"):
layer = QgsRasterLayer(raster, os.path.basename(raster))
layers.append(layer)
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayers(layers)
Then use the following to iterate through the layers and print the standard deviation:
layers = QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().mapLayers().values()
for layer in layers:
provider=layer.dataProvider()
ext = layer.extent()
stats=provider.bandStatistics(1,QgsRasterBandStats.All,ext,0)
print layer.name() + ":", "stdDev = ", stats.stdDev
Hope this helps!

Melatonin, light and chronobiological disorders.
A. J. Lewy, R. L. Sack, C. M. Singer
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
38 Scopus citations
Abstract
Human plasma melatonin concentrations can be measured accurately and sensitively by gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization mass spectrometry. With this assay, we have shown that: in rats and in humans, plasma melatonin is exclusively derived from the pineal gland; propranolol and clonidine reduce melatonin levels in human; some blind people appear to have free-running melatonin secretory circadian rhythms; bright light can acutely suppress human melatonin production according to a linear fluence-response relationship; manic-depressive patients appear to be supersensitive to light, even when they are well; melatonin levels are greater in manic patients than in depressed patients; in experiments to test the clock-gate model and the hypothesized phase-response curve, two different effects of light appear to present in humans: an acute suppressant effect (mainly in the evening during long photoperiods) and an entrainment effect (particularly during the morning but also in the evening). When blood is sampled for measuring melatonin levels as a marker for circadian phase position, bright light should be avoided after 5 p.m. (the dim light melatonin onset). Bright-light exposure in the morning appears to advance circadian rhythms, whereas bright-light exposure in the evening appears to delay them. Once a patient has been 'phase typed' (phase-advanced vs. phase-delayed), predictions can be made about whether morning or evening light would be more effective in treating the sleep or mood disorder.

Tintern Grammar
Tintern Grammar (also known as Tintern) is an independent, Anglican day school for girls and boys located in Ringwood East, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Established in 1877 by Emma Bartlet Cook, Tintern has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for over 890 students, from ELC through to Year 12, including international students.
Located on one site in Ringwood East, the Early Learning Centre is co-educational, while girls and boys are educated in single-sex environments from Prep – Year 9. In Years 10 – 12 boys and girls learn together in a co-educational classes.
The school is a member of the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne (EISM), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), Alliance of Girls' Schools Australasia (AGSA) and was a founding member of Girls Sport Victoria (GSV).
History
Tintern was founded in 1877 by Emma Cook. Not satisfied with any of the established schools in Hawthorn, Cook felt she needed to start "an excellent school" for her four youngest daughters and the youngest of her five sons. It was not long before neighbours asked Cook to allow their children to enrol, and as word spread about the achievements of the school, many country families also sent their children to attend.
The Church of England Trust purchased the school in 1918, and what was initially a co-educational school, became a school for girls known as Tintern Church of England Girls' Grammar School. Continued growth led to the need for larger and more modern facilities, and subsequently the school moved to its current campus of just over 50 acre, at Ringwood East in 1953. The site had been purchased in June 1946 for £3,113.
In 1999, under the principalship of Sylvia Walton (1982–2005), the school returned to Cook's founding wish of educating the whole family, with the establishment of Tintern's brother school, Southwood, located at Ringwood.
Campus
Tintern Grammar is set on a 20 ha campus in a semi-rural setting, featuring bushland and landscaped gardens. The schools facilities include a multi-function assembly and performance space, ELC, senior and junior libraries and information centres, science and technology laboratories, computer laboratories, established areas for visual and performing arts, a swimming pool and gymnasium complex and other sporting facilities.
The school also features a farm, where students are encouraged to take part in a Young Farmers program, in which they enter in agricultural competitions. The farm has been operational since the opening of the Ringwood campus of the school, and has since been very successful in local sheep competitions.
Curriculum
Up until 2021 Tintern Grammar offered the International Baccalaureate (IB), the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Vocational Education Training (VET).
However, from 2021 onwards Tintern Grammar only offers the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and Vocational Education Training (VET)
House system
Tintern has a house system adopted in 1924 and modelled on great English Public Schools. When Tintern Girls and Southwood Boys combined their houses did too. The Tintern Grammar houses are Butterss-Cross (after Agnes Cross, Headmistress 1911–1918), Gordon-Grant (after three former head prefects, all sisters), Mansfield-Mckie (after founder and first principal Emma Cook, whose maiden name was Mansfield), Somner-Stewart (after three sisters, two of whom were staff members) and Dann-Watt, after ex-student and Olympic Gold medal winning cyclist Kathy Watt.
Sport
Tintern is a member of the Eastern Independent Schools of Melbourne (EISM).

Miss Island Queen Pageant
Miss Island Queen (now Miss SOFIAS) is a faʻafafine pageant held annually in American Samoa. It is noted for being the longest standing pageant of its kind in the South Pacific. It was first held in 1979 before undergoing a series of changes. No pageant was held in 1980 and 1982 as it endured shifts in ownership and in 2020 and 2022 due to the covid pandemic. It was canceled in 1986 due to a tropical cyclone and failed to take place in both 1999 and 2002 when it struggled with funding. In 1996 It was held simultaneously on the same evening as another faʻafafine pageant Empress of Samoa. In 2008 the pageant coincided with the Festival of Pacific Arts and became the closing event of festivities. After undergoing extensive reestablishment in 2010 the pageant has since been held during Flag Day week and broadcast live on KVZK-2. It is now known as Miss SOFIAS and maintains yearly advocacy and charity programs.
History
The pageant began as a marketing show for Herb & Sia's motel a family owned business, in its heyday it was a staple for Polynesian revues and local musicians. A gathering of faʻafafines shepherd by educators Leroy Lutu and Vena Sele led to pioneering the first fully organized beauty pageant in 1981. It came to prominence in the late 1980s when organizers incorporated educational awareness, community service and charitable causes in both American Samoa and neighboring Apia, Samoa. Governor A. P. Lutali was the first territorial leader to officially support the pageant in 1987 in years that followed numerous local dignitaries and politicians became fixtures at the event. The pageant was hugely successful by 1990 it spawned a faʻafafine performance troupe. The troupe entertained across the islands at public ceremonies and private events popularizing a streak of song and dance routines among them the apartheid anthem Gimme Hope Jo'anna, music from the soundtrack of Sarafina! and Samba in the night by Daniel Rae Costello many selections were opening themes of past island queen pageants. Power struggles corrupted the pageant in the mid-1990s resulting in the exploitation of faʻafafines in countless beauty pageants publicized for financial gain. Vena Sele and Leroy Lutu harbored creative differences and parted ways. Lutu went on to establish "Empresses of Samoa" and "Mizz Corona" pageants and Sele continued with Island Queens before leading "Miss American Sevens". American Sevens was originally operated under a netball association but at the height of its success became known as Seven Islands of American Samoa.
In the 2000s Miss American Sevens and Miss Island Queens pageants dominated the territory. In 2010 American Sevens and Island Queens communally retired uniting to become S.O.F.I.A.S (Society of Faʻafafine in American Samoa). Organizers also preserved history honoring past winners under its retooled name. Three distinctive awards were awarded during the history of both pageants. In 2000 high chief Tiumalu Sia Scanlan was presented with a special award, in 2006 longtime serving member Rosie Moimoi was recognized by Island Queens and in 2005 founder Vena Sele was honored by the American Sevens for her legacy and service to both the faʻafafine community and her pioneering career. Sele was the first fa'afafine to earn a doctorate degree, for a short term Sele was president of American Samoa Community College becoming the highest ranking fa'afafine at the time. Sele retired in 2005 and in 2007 published her autobiography "Memoirs of a Samoan, Catholic and Fa’afafine". Sele is widely known to have inspired many fa'afafines to pursue education many of whom affectionately call her "Mama". Sele lives in Tacoma, WA. Leroy Lutu rose to great success with the Department of Education and retired in 2011. He was a popular local personality well known for his fashionable taste and socialite status. In 2008 both Sele and Lutu returned for the 25th anniversary of Miss Island Queens it was their last time together on stage. Lutu died in 2012.

* Symbol delete vote.svg Thank you for the new article, but there are still several issues. The original hook wasn't in proper English (fixed). You forgot the link in ALT1 (fixed). Much of the article needs thorough copyediting: "caders" for "cadres", "causalties" for "casualties", &c. and loads of parentheses and spacing issues. Your sources show that the Communist Part of India (Marxist-Leninist) should be abbreviated CPI-ML or CPI (ML). Neither hook is supported by the article: The article is written in such a way that it says the "Conflict and Violence" only ran from the 1980s to late '90s and involved much less than a hundred civilian deaths. The sources probably do support the hooks but the article itself needs a thorough redo, probably alongside a native English speaker. Maproom should probably be credited for his extensive improvements to the article. You can try asking at the, the , or.
* When that's all done, it's long enough (~3k elig. chars.); timely move to mainspace; as mentioned above, the article is sourced but badly structured and meanders between its proper (Lal Sena itself) and its parent organization (CPI-ML Liberation); it also has issues where it states as bald unsourced fact that a violent insurrection of Communist guerrillas actually were "protecting labourers" and "supporting peasantry": ideally the disservice and hypocrisy should be pointed out; at the very least that language needs to be tightened into something approaching objectivity with the original outrages and the Lal Sena assistance noted and sourced; detected copyvio is limited to the blockquote. No image; no QPQ needed. — Llywelyn II 15:33, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
About your comments: "issues where it states as bald unsourced fact that a violent insurrection of Communist guerrillas actually were "protecting laborers" and "supporting peasantry": ideally the disservice and hypocrisy should be pointed out" kindly see the info box of conflict of the article, its given all in there along with the sources. And also, the introduction part please. I didn't write anything like "protecting laborers" or "supporting peasantry" I mentioned who fought on whose side and have given the details too. "Neither hook is supported by the article: The article is written in such a way that it says the "Conflict and Violence" only ran from the 1980s to late '90s and involved much less than a hundred civilian deaths", second hook about the death of civilians, kindly check the conflict info box, its death of 521 people mentioned at the end of the box with source. I am a new editor please help me with some more explanation about the wp;scope and the copy violation also ,in the article I have kept the sourced quotes in block quote how can it be a copy violation. Please help. Your participation in editing the article will be of great help. Thanking you,Maaley (talk) 03:31, 20 December 2016 (UTC) Your article is about the Lal Sena organization, not the conflict in general. You need to rebuild the article to reflect that: Background before it formed; Activities for what it actually did; and Legacy for everything that came after it. You're more than welcome and good luck. I know it's hard to do this in your second, 3d, &c. language. Remember to add some new, sourced hooks for this to go forward. — Llywelyn II 08:07, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
* Llywelyn II Thanks for the review and suggestions I will correct the spellings and report to you. Please tell me how to credit Maproom.
* : I did. It certainly seems like a, unobjective claim from one side of a violent conflict and probably shouldn't be there at all. That claim also lacks any citation, which it certainly needs. The cites for the dates have nothing to do with the claim about their role. The lead should not have citations but it has no similar phrasing in any case.
* Yes, you did. That is, in fact, precisely the biased infobox claim that we were just disagreeing about.
* I did and you're not wrong but that's just the infobox. I was talking about how the article itself is structured. You have a section called "The conflict and violence" and that section only begins in the mid-1980s. You need to move the material around so that the "Issues that led to the armed conflict" is about the 1960s and earlier, the "The conflict and violence" section is about the Lal Sena itself (apparently only 1974–6?), and everything else is in a different section named something like "Legacy".
* First, no, there is not a citation for that number. Second, "civilians" are listed as a subset of those 521 people and not the entirety of it. Third, the body of the article doesn't mention anything like half a thousand civilians being killed. Adding up all the civilians mentioned by "The conflict and violence" section comes to well less than a single hundred.
* Well, first, look over WP:SCOPE. Now, think about your article.
* That's only for nominations and only says we can't take articles if you just copy someone else's writing. I said that you didn't do that, so it's not a problem. Similarly, the blockquotes are not a problem.
* Wikipedia is showing the correct spelling is casualties and not "causalties" and for "caders" as you said its showing "cadres". Now I am confused whether to write the spellings that you say or that of the Wikipedia. Yours sincerely,Maaley (talk) 03:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
* Just my point. You wrote "cader" and "causalties" and those are the wrong spellings. It's not really necessary for the process but, yes, it would be better if you went through the page with a native speaker or a spell check program and corrected the numerous missspelinks. — Llywelyn II 06:14, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
* Llywelyn II thanks for your suggestions. I will certainly do as advised. Kindly inform me if there is any auto check programs for correcting the spellings.Maaley (talk) 11:10, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
* My version of Chrome comes with one, I think, but I'm sure there are "extensions" for Chome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, whatever that you can find and use. — Llywelyn II 06:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
* Just a reminder to notify me once the page is improved and there's a solid hook to review. — Llywelyn II 13:36, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Taliban bomb kills 14, wounds 145, despite hopes for Afghan pact
KABUL (Reuters) - A Taliban suicide bomber killed 14 people and wounded 145 in the Afghan capital Kabul on Wednesday, an attack the government said raised questions about the militants’ commitment to peace despite an expected deal with the United States. There has been no let-up in violence in Afghanistan even though the Taliban and the United States appear close to a pact for U.S. troops to withdraw in exchange for a Taliban promise that Afghanistan will not be used as a base for international terrorism. The truck bomb in the west of the capital during the morning rush hour sent a huge cloud of gray smoke into the sky. The Taliban said one of their suicide bombers had attacked a “recruitment center” in response to government attacks in the countryside. Most of the dead and wounded were civilians, including women and children, government officials said. “Continued Taliban attacks indicate that they have no commitment to peace,” Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for President Ashraf Ghani, told a news conference. Zalmay Khalizad, the U.S. envoy negotiating with the Taliban to end America’s longest war, condemned the blast. “Indiscriminate attacks and intentional injury to civilians are never warranted,” Khalizad tweeted. “The focus should be on immediately reducing violence as we move closer to intra-Afghan negotiations that will produce a political roadmap and a permanent ceasefire.” President Donald Trump has announced his aim to end a war launched in the days after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Khalizad began his negotiations late last year in Qatar but the talking has not brought a reduction in the violence. And the violence has had virtually no impact on the talks. Both sides reported significant progress this week in their efforts to forge a pact. About 20,000 foreign troops, most of them American, are in Afghanistan as part of a U.S.-led NATO mission to train, assist and advise Afghan forces. Some U.S. forces carry out counter-terrorism operations. The Taliban said Wednesday’s bomb was a response to daily attacks by government forces in the countryside. “You shall pay for your crimes in villages and rural areas right in Kabul and other cities,” the spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, said in a post on Twitter. Nevertheless, he said “steady but positive progress” was being made in the talks, and efforts were aimed at a solution that does not generate problems in future. A Taliban promise to talk peace with the U.S.-backed government is likely be part of any agreement with the United States, but many Afghan government officials fear their war with the Taliban will not end. The militants control more territory than at any point since the United States bombed them out of power in 2001 and both sides have been launching assaults, and suffering heavy casualties. Wednesday’s suicide attack came a day after the Taliban called for a boycott of the planned Sept. 28 presidential election and threatened to attack election rallies. The bomb exploded when the truck carrying it was stopped at a checkpoint outside the police station. It caused extensive damage with facades blown off buildings and a jumble of rubble and vehicles strewn around a huge crater. Four of the 14 people killed were policemen and the rest were civilians while 92 of the 145 wounded were civilians, Deputy Interior Minister Khoshal Sadat told a news conference.

Why Ayurveda Recommends Bhringaraj for Hair loss and scalp acne
Bhringraj , bhringraj for hair , scalp acne treatment in ayurveda
bhringraj for hair , scalp acne treatment in ayurveda
Bhringaraj also known as Eclipta Alba is a small plant. It is called as “maaka” in hindi. Ayurveda acharyas have coined different names in praise of its medicinal properties
1. It is eulogised as “bhringaraja” as it makes the hair look dark and black like beetle (bhringa (Sanskrit)=beetle).
2. It is praised as “Maarkava” as it keeps the grey hairs at bay.
3. It is lauded as “Kesharaja” as it takes complete care of hair.
Vata and Kapha when vitiated accelerate aging process. Vitiation of these doshas and accelerated aging process leads to hair loss, premature greying and dry scalp. According to principles of Ayurveda this plant mitigates vata and kapha. Thus bhringaraj helps to slow down aging process and protects hair health.
Eclipta Alba contains alkaloids (chemical compounds) which act as antimicrobial and anti-fungal. Thus massaging hair with hair oil processed with this herb prevents scalp infections and scalp acne. Addition of neem fortifies this property and immensely helps to prevent scalp acne.
Scalp wounds get very quickly healed when the extract of this herb is applied on them. Bhringaraj cleanse the scalp wound and hastens the growth of granulation tissue thus fastening the healing process.
Massaging oil processed with bhringaraj boosts the blood circulation in scalp. This ensures the supply of nutrients to hair follicles and arrest hair loss. Increased blood supply also aids growth of strong and healthy hair.
This herb has tremendous rejuvenating properties. It rejuvenates the scalp skin and hair follicle. The process of rejuvenation includes expulsion of toxins, supply of nutrients and anti-oxidants.
When this herb is processed with pure coconut oil and other hair friendly herbs it boosts hair health by leaps and bounds, because coconut oil is extremely hair friendly. Coconut oil is the store house of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.

The OOOI Analog is the best of both horological worlds – TechCrunch
Butler Watch is run by pilot Corey Butler. It is a labor of love for Butler and his watches are aimed directly at pilots and pilots-to-be. Take the OOOI Analog, for example. This new crowdfunded watch features a digital readout with quartz analog movement. The piece costs $459 for early birds. The movement, an ETA 988.333, has a pair of analog hands for the hour and minutes as well as two small LCD readouts for chronograph, timers, and alarms. It’s a clever, rarely seen movement and Butler stuffs it inside a handsome steel case with Superluminova lume. What does OOOI stand for? “Unless you are involved in aviation, you probably are unaware of OOOI. OOOI is an esoteric acronym meaning Out Off ON IN. All pilots record OOOI times for a flight segment; aircraft OUT of the gate, wheels OFF the runway into the air, wheels ON the runway, and aircraft IN the gate.” Butler plans on shipping in August and is halfway to his $9,000 goal. Just a little more and the OOOI can come in for a landing.

Transform Machine Learning Research into a Professional Product with Azure
Published May 11 2021 12:12 AM 1,258 Views
Microsoft
Guest post by Lucas Liu Master’s student in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Duke University who specializes in Machine Learning & Federated Learning.
LUCAS.jpg
Throughout my time at university, I have built any number of scikit-learn, Tensorflow, or PyTorch machine learning models. I have developed and trained deep neural networks for applications ranging from cheetah footprint image classification to content similarity matching for bug tracking.
Many of these research projects have wound up more or less as Python scripts sitting on my PC, only existing locally. If a colleague or client wanted to use the product for themselves, this would involve a complicated series of file downloads, installation steps, dependency management, and more – a painful process even for researchers who are intimately knowledgeable with the technologies being used.
How can we eliminate this barrier between our research and our users? Microsoft Azure can help us transform machine learning research into a refined & easy-to-use product.
Containerize
First, we containerize our research with Docker. We take our ML model and package it into a simple flask app that serves predictions from POST requests with json payloads routed to `/predict`.
Here is an example Flask setup which predicts the probability of stroke with a scikit-learn ML model:
from flask import Flask, request
from flask.logging import create_logger
import logging
import pandas as pd
import joblib
app = Flask(__name__)
LOG = create_logger(app)
LOG.setLevel(logging.INFO)
@app.route("/")
def home():
html = "<h3>Stroke Prediction Home</h3>"
return html.format(format)
@app.route("/predict", methods=['POST'])
def predict():
"""Performs an sklearn prediction for stroke likelihood"""
json_payload = request.json
LOG.info(f"JSON payload: {json_payload}")
inference_payload = pd.DataFrame(json_payload)
LOG.info(f"inference payload DataFrame: {inference_payload}")
prediction = clf.predict_proba(inference_payload)[0][0]
statement = f'Probability of patient stroke is {prediction: .4f}'
return statement
if __name__ == "__main__":
clf = joblib.load("stroke_prediction.joblib")
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080, debug=True)
We then specify a Dockerfile configuration, which will handle requirements installation and run our Flask app. We will expose our container on port 80, and use Python slim, which is more lightweight.
A simple Docker configuration might look like this:
FROM python:3.8-slim
# Working Directory
WORKDIR /app
# Copy source code to working directory
COPY . app.py /app/
# Install packages from requirements.txt
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade pip &&\
pip install --no-cache-dir --trusted-host pypi.python.org -r requirements.txt
# Expose port 80
EXPOSE 80
# Run app.py at container launch
CMD ["python", "app.py"]
Next, we will upload our container to the Azure Container Registry by using the Azure CLI. Let’s call our project ‘mlproject’.
1. Create a resource group name ‘mlproject’ in the Azure Dashboard.
2. Create an ACR repository with the command:
az acr create --resource-group mlproject --name mlproject –sku\ Basic --admin-enabled true
1. Build the container in ACR (let’s call our container image ‘stroke-predict’:
az acr build --registry mlproject --image stroke-predict .
Now, users can more easily access our ML model by quickly pulling, building, and running our image, without having to worry about dependencies or model running details. This helps us avoid the age old “But it runs on my machine!” problem.
ACR.png
Deploy & Operationalize
What if, instead of building a container image, users could simply hit a URL and perform inferences (no image setup required)? Let’s use Azure Kubernetes Service to serve our container at a ready-to-go endpoint:
1. First, we can use an Azure Pipeline Template to help us define a k8s deployment and load balancer YAML.
Example deployment YAML:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: stroke-predict
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: stroke-predict
replicas: 3
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: stroke-predict
spec:
containers:
- name: stroke-predict
image: mlproject.azurecr.io/stroke-predict
imagePullPolicy: Always
readinessProbe:
httpGet:
port: 8080
path: /
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
port: 8080
path: /
resources:
requests:
memory: "128Mi"
cpu: "100m"
limits:
memory: "256Mi"
cpu: "500m"
Example loadbalancer YAML:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: stroke-predict-loadbalancer
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: stroke-predict
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 8080
1. Now, we create an AKS cluster. This example cluster will have a load balancer, and the ability to autoscale between 1 and 5 nodes.
az aks create --resource-group mlproject --name mlproject \
--generate-ssh-keys \
--node-count 3 \
--vm-set-type VirtualMachineScaleSets \
--load-balancer-sku standard \
--enable-cluster-autoscaler \
--min-count 1 \
--max-count 5
1. Next, Merge AKS credentials between kubectl and your AKS cluster
az aks get-credentials --resource-group mlproject --name mlproject
1. Attach our repository to the cluster
az aks update --resource-group mlproject --name mlproject \--attach-acr mlproject
1. Deploy Application on Cluster
kubectl apply -f k8s/deployment.yaml
1. Apply Load Balancer
kubectl apply -f k8s/loadbalancer.yaml
1. Find IP for Endpoint
kubectl get services
Now our users can simply query our endpoint and receive predictions!
The power of Azure goes beyond just initial deployment. We can adopt Continuous Deployment practices with Github Actions for Azure to automatically trigger a new build each time a new version of the model is released, ensuring that the service endpoint is always providing the most up-to-date model.
Additionally, Azure’s autoscale feature allows our service to automatically scale up or down to meet real usage needs, activating additional resources during heavy usage time. We can even expand our AKS to reach users around the world. The Azure portal also allows us to monitor our AKS cluster metrics, and gain insights on the health and performance of the service.

Next Steps: MLOps
In this blog, we discuss how to transform your existing ML research models into a much more refined product with Azure’s Container Registry and Kubernetes Service, making it easy for users to access the fruits of your research.
However, if we start building with Azure from the very beginning, Azure’s MLOps offering provides an end-to-end solution for the ML life-cycle, from training and building the model initially, to continually retraining / redeploying an up-to-date service. Azure MLOps can even help us compare model performances & automatically detect data drift. This is just a small portion of what Azure’s MLOps can do –

324 are interested. Indeed, precisely this sort of interest is recognized by Professor Simon Newcomb as one of the characteristics of modern science. The opening words of his presidential address at the St. Louis Congress tell us that "among the tendencies characteristic of the science of our day is one toward laying greater stress on questions of the beginnings of things, and regarding a knowledge of the laws of development of any object of study as necessary to its complete understanding in the form in which we find it." But interest alone is scarcely sufficient to overcome the difficulties which beset the general reader in quest of information, owing to the exceedingly scattered, and more or less special nature of the literature. The absence, too, of a popular conspectus which treats in satisfactory manner of the origin of the heliocentric hypothesis, is to be regretted. Hence the present article has been prepared with the idea of affording those who may be inquisitive as to the sources of information with the means of orienting themselves.
In order to keep the relations of the founders of different cosmical systems firmly in mind, the distinguishing features of the latter may be pointed out, with indication of the most prominent names associated with each. Four distinct systems may be recognized, according as the center of the universe is supposed be occupied by (1) a central fire, other than our sun (Philolaus the Pythagorean); (2) by a stationary earth about which the heavens revolve (Eudoxus of Cnidos, Ptolemy, Tycho Brahé); (3) by an earth rotating upon its axis, but otherwise immovable (Heraclides of Pontus); and (4) by the sun, about which the entire planetary system revolves (Aristarchus, Copernicus). As thus outlined, the transition between the third and fourth of these systems appears at first sight abrupt, but examination of the views of Heraclides shows that he too recognized the competency of the modern system as a working hypothesis, and thus helped prepare the way for its rigorous adoption. It is evident, also, that a somewhat remote

This Moto Mod turns your phone into a walkie-talkie
Back in November, Motorola launched a contest to jump-start Moto Mod development, and so far it seems to have worked. The latest Moto Mod to surface on Indiegogo is Linc, a “smart” walkie-talkie attachment that will allow you to stay connected in areas with no cell coverage. The Linc radio has a range of five miles and supports 22 channels, SMS, GPS location sharing, and an emergency alert button that can transmit an SOS signal. It can also communicate with two-way radios from different manufacturers using its radio-over-IP gateway, and comes with a 1,500mAh battery that will last 20 hours on standby. Although it’s designed to work with the Moto Z, Linc says the walkie-talkie can connect and work with any Bluetooth-enabled device. Given that this is a crowdfunded device and Linc has never shipped a product, there’s always the chance that the product may never ship or work like you expect it to. But if you’re inclined, you can order a Linc for as low as $99 on Indiegogo.

Will the Paris Terrorist Attacks Hurt Major Airlines?
The terrorist attacks that struck Paris last Friday have put airline investors on the defensive. Shares of American Airlines , Delta Air Lines , and United Continental had already started to give up their October gains last week, and they all fell again by 2%-3% on Monday morning.
Weekly Airline Stock Performance, data by YCharts
Does this pullback in major airline stocks represent a warning sign of more trouble to come? Or is it a good opportunity to invest in these companies? Let's take a look.
The terrorism threat will hit demand
Among U.S. commercial airlines, American, Delta, and United are the only three that fly to Europe.
The direct impact to them from the terrorist attacks last week was relatively minimal. While France closed its borders immediately following the attacks, the airports remained open. So while there were some delays and one cancellation (an American Airlines roundtrip from Dallas-Fort Worth), most flights operated normally.
However, just because flights are operating doesn't mean that customers will want to fly. Several people that spoke to the Associated Press had canceled trips to France or were considering doing so due to fear about potential follow-on attacks.

Aside from security concerns, tourists have also faced uncertainty about what they would be able to do in Paris. Numerous major landmarks like the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower were closed over the weekend, although they reopened on Monday afternoon. Travelers have also been warned that movement through the city may be restricted.
Notable geopolitical events also have a way of disrupting demand more broadly in the short term. For example, United Continental reported that China's relatively insignificant devaluation of the yuan in August caused a temporary drop-off in bookings for travel between China and the U.S. A major terrorist attack could have a much bigger effect.
How big is the impact?
That said, American, Delta, and United don't have so much capacity deployed in France that a downturn there would have a dramatic impact on their results.
Delta Air Lines has the most to lose, as it has a joint venture with Air France-KLM and Alitalia for transatlantic flights. As part of that JV, Delta operates more flights to Paris than either American Airlines or United Continental, allowing customers to connect via Air France to other destinations. The JV also includes a revenue-sharing and cost-sharing scheme for transatlantic flights, so Delta has a stake in Air France's profitability on transatlantic routes.
Even for Delta, the entire transatlantic market represents less than 20% of total revenue. Much of that traffic flows through other major European hubs -- mainly London and Amsterdam -- or directly from the U.S. to other cities in Europe, Africa, India, and the Middle East. This should blunt the impact of any drop in demand for travel to (or through) Paris.
Delta has the most exposure to France of any U.S. airline. Photo: The Motley Fool
Additionally, while American, Delta, and United all waived change fees for customers traveling to or through Paris, none of these waivers extends beyond Nov. 22. Furthermore, airlines are offering only to change customers' travel dates. They aren't providing refunds for non-refundable tickets. The tickets they have already sold for the next few months represent a cushion against any short-term drop in travel demand.
This too shall pass
Unlike the 9/11 attacks, the attacks in Paris last week did not specifically target air travel. As a result, while there was a broad-based downturn in air travel following 9/11, there is no reason to expect that to occur here.
Airlines -- and airline investors -- should be prepared for a few weeks or even a few months with significantly fewer people buying tickets to Paris. There could even be a modest impact on other air travel due to the inevitable uncertainty about whether other major cities will be next.
However, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Continental face this situation from a position of strength -- they all have double-digit profit margins. This makes a travel downturn that is mainly limited to a small proportion of their global route networks quite manageable.
Furthermore, oil prices are sliding again, providing another tailwind for airline profitability. Finally, all three airline stocks already trade for less than 10 times projected 2016 earnings, so there's plenty of margin for error in case it takes longer than expected for demand to recover in the coming weeks and months. This should help the airlines bounce back relatively quickly from this unfortunate incident.

});
Setup
To enable row selection, set the selectable option to true
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
selectable:true,
});
The selectable option can take one of a several values:
• false - selectable rows are disabled
• true - selectable rows are enabled, and you can select as many as you want
• integer - any integer value, this sets the maximum number of rows that can be selected (when the maximum number of selected rows is exeded, the first selected row will be deselected to allow the next row to be selected).
• "highlight" (default) - rows have the same hover stylings as selectable rows but do not change state when clicked. This is great for when you want to show that a row is clickable but don't want it to be selectable.
Note: using the setData function will clear the currently selected rows.
Range Selection
By default you can select a range of rows by holding down the shift key and click dragging over a number of rows to toggle the selected state state of all rows the cursor passes over.
If you would prefere to select a range of row by clicking on the first row then holding down shift and clicking on the end row then you can acheive this by setting the selectableRangeMode to click
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
selectableRangeMode:"click",
});
In this mode, in order to select multiple non-continuous rows, you need to hold down the ctrl key and click on each row in turn.
Rolling Selection
By default, row selection works on a rolling basis, if you set the selectable option to a numeric value then when you select past this number of rows, the first row to be selected will be deselected. If you want to disable this behaviour and instead prevent selection of new rows once the limit is reached you can set the selectableRollingSelection option to false.
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
selectable:5,
selectableRollingSelection:false, // disable rolling selection
});
Persistent Selection
By default Tabulator will maintain selected rows when the table is filtered, sorted or paginated (but NOT when the setData function is used). If you want the selected rows to be cleared whenever the table view is updated then set the selectablePersistence option to false.
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
selectable:true,
selectablePersistence:false, // disable rolling selection
});
Selection Eligibility
You many want to exclude certain rows from being selected. The selectableCheck options allows you to pass a function to check if the current row should be selectable, returning true will allow row selection, false will result in nothing happening. The function should accept a RowComponent as its first argument.
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
selectableCheck:function(row){
//row - row component
return row.getData().age > 18; //allow selection of rows where the age is greater than 18
},
});
Note: Any selectable rows will be assigned the tabulator-selectable class, any unselectable rows will be assigned the tabulator-unselectable class.
Tickbox Formatter
The rowSelection formatter allows you to add a column of tickboxes down one side of your table to handle row selection:
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
columns:[
{formatter:"rowSelection", titleFormatter:"rowSelection", align:"center", headerSort:false},
]
});
Selection Management
As well as clicking on a row, you can trigger the selection or deselection of a row programmatically.
Select Row
To programmatically select a row you can use the selectRow function.
To select a specific row you can pass the any of the standard row component look up options into the first argument of the function. If you leave the argument blank you will select all rows (if you have set the selectable option to a numeric value, it will be ignored when selecting all rows).
table.selectRow(1); //select row with id of 1
Multiple Row Selection
If you want to select multiple rows you can pass one of 4 options into the selectRow function:
• array - pass an array of row component look up options into the first parameter
• "all" - pass a string of all to select all rows in the table
• "active" - pass a string of active to select only active rows (rows that match the current filters)
• "visible" - pass a string of visible to select only rows currently visible in the table viewport
table.selectRow("visible"); //select all rows currently visible in the table viewport
If you do not pass any arguments to the selectRow function, all rows will be selected. To select only rows that have been filtered pass true as the first argument.
Deselect Row
To programmatically deselect a row you can use the deselectRow function.
To deselect a specific row you can pass any of the standard row component look up options into the first argument of the function. If you leave the argument blank you will deselect all rows.
table.deselectRow(1); //deselect row with id of 1
Multiple Row Deselection
If you want to deselect multiple rows you can pass an array of row component look up options into the first parameter
table.deselectRow([1,2,3]); //deselect thre rows with id's 1,2 and 3
Note: If you do not pass any arguments to the the deselectRow function, all rows will be deselected.
Get Selected Data
To get the data objects for the selected rows you can use the getSelectedData function.
This will return an array of the selected rows data objects in the order in which they were selected.
var selectedData = table.getSelectedData(); //get array of currently selected data.
Get Selected Row Components
To get the RowComponent's for the selected rows at any time you can use the getSelectedRows function.
This will return an array of RowComponent's for the selected rows in the order in which they were selected.
var selectedRows = table.getSelectedRows(); //get array of currently selected row components.
Component Selection
You can use the row component passed into any of Tabulator's callbacks to trigger selection of that row.
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
rowClick:function(e, row){
//e - the click event object
//row - row component
row.toggleSelect(); //toggle row selected state on row click
},
});
Select
The select function will select the current row.
row.select();
Deselect
The deselect function will deselect the current row.
row.deselect();
Toggle Selection
The toggleSelect function will toggle the selected state the current row.
row.toggleSelect();
Callbacks
A range of callbacks are available for row selection. See the Selection Callbacks section for more information.

Rh late King William IV., where I met a party of twelve or fifteen people of the first rank, and passed a very pleasant evening, break ing up at twelve o'clock. The Duke is a very intelligent, agreeable man. He asked me when coming away to come and see him whenever I should find it convenient; and offered me any letters I might wish to use either in England or on the Continent. I
had before been at the prorogation of Parliament by Queen Victoria, his niece, in person, and was, afterwards, presented to her at St. James Palace at her first levee. In reply to some questions she asked me, I had ven tured to offer her a little compliment, which appeared to be well received, and was responded to in a very modest manner, and in a somewhat lower tone of voice than she had before spoken in, accompan ied by a smile and bow. Her manner STEVENSON was such that I was disposed to say more, but was restrained by the occasion, and the many handsome eyes that I perceived to be upon me; for the apartment was filled with all the high officers of court, and foreign ambassadors waiting to be pre sented, to few, if any, of whom did she say a word. Immediately after leaving the Queen, the Duke of Sussex called out : ' Mr. Buchanan, you must shake hands with me' (at the same time holding out his hand), and when he had mine said : ' When all this bustle is over, in which I take an inter est, for this young Queen is my niece, you
231
must come and see me; I want to have a long and close talk with you.' " When pre sented to the Queen at the time of her coro nation, Judge Buchanan ventured to say: "Madam, may your reign be as happy as its beginning is auspicious! " The Queen received the remark most graciously, smiling instead of frowning, which he had almost a right to expect, as it is against court eti quette to address a remark to royalty, unless spoken to first. After a delightful and interesting visit of nine months to England, Judge Buchanan returned home, and resumed his place as Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of Mary land. At that time the constitutional limitation of seventy years was not in ex istence in Maryland, and Judge Buchanan continued to fill the office for seven years longer, with honor to himself, and to the entire satisfaction of archer. the Bar and people of Maryland. His death took place at his home in Washington County, Maryland, in 1845. Ezekikl F. Chambers, one of the most distinguished associate justices of the Mary land Court of Appeals, was born in Kent County, Md., on the 28th of February, 1788. After passing the Bar, he entered at once into a large practice, which in the course of a few years extended over the whole of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. For fifty years from 18 17, he was one of the leading lawyers of the State. In 1826 he was.elected

* Eastside High School (Gainesville, FL) (IB Program)
* University of Florida
I now work for a developer of student apartments in Gainesville, Florida. I'm glad to be back in Gainesville where my family lives. I am a workaholic. I'm hoping to use Wikipedia like Nicorette, to get me over it or at least distract me.
The first edit I did on Wikipedia was on cephalopods. I hope to do more, soon, as I learn.
