Regular Expressions Basics
What are Regular Expressions?
Regular expressions (which will now be referred to as "regexes") are basically pattern matching inside of text. They use special syntax and concepts in order to obtain information from a string. Many programming languages have some sort of support for regexes, because of the sheer usefulness of them. Not only can patterns be used to validate that a certain pattern exists in a string, but they can also be used to physically extract matched portions and make them usable in your PHP code. Although it's not mentioned in this tutorial, keep it in mind as you're reading it, because it's the main focus of the next tutorial in the series.
How are they different from regular string searching functions?
Regular string searching functions like strpos() and str_replace() are very limited in what they can actually do. They're great for replacing a single character or two, or changing 'ham' to 'turkey' in a recipe, but that's about all they can do. If you want to see if a string contained all numbers (and possibly commas to separate the numbers), you'd have to create some convoluted processing routine along the lines of:
<?php $string = "731,489,392,222"; foreach (str_split($string) as $char) { if (!is_numeric($char) or $str != ',') { $bad = true; } } if (!$bad) { .... } ?>
That's where the power of regexes comes into play. They have amazing capabilities in terms of analyzing strings for certain patterns and matches.
Why bother? I can make parsing routines that do the job just fine.
This question is actually quite commonly asked for first-time regex users. Regular expressions have quite a learning curve, and they have a very intricate syntax, but they are one of the most powerful ways to get PHP to handle data precisely as you want. Sometimes, the kinds of data and patterns that regular expressions can parse are simply not possible to emulate with regular string handling functions. Regexes can be quite daunting at first, but when they're broken up into individual parts and their syntax is analyzed, they're actually quite simple.
Well, now it's time for you to learn how to create regular expressions of your very own.
Note: This tutorial is just covering regular expression syntax. Actual pattern matching, substitution, and handling of results in PHP will be covered in subsequent tutorials. Also, this tutorial set covers Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE), for reasons which will be discussed later.
Creating Your Own Patterns
Before we start interpreting regular expression syntax, it would be a good idea to first see what a pattern looks like. A pattern must ALWAYS have an opening delimiter and an ending delimiter to "enclose" the pattern so the engine knows where to stop and for separating modifiers from the rest of the pattern, which will be discussed later on in the tutorial. The most commonly seen delimiter is /, but it's often advisable to use some obscure character that will never end up in one of your patterns (such as `, #, or !). For most of the examples in this tutorial, I'll be using / as my delimiter, simply because it's conventional, but you can use any character really. Now that we have delimiters out of the way, let's look at one of the most simple patterns.
/abc/
When a plain letter is shown in a regular expression, it's interpreted as just that -- a plain letter. This pattern would match ANY string containing a 'abc' in that order. Not very useful, but it illustrates some basic principles. Notice how the part you want matched ('abc') is contained within the delimiters? That's how every pattern has to be formatted, otherwise it simply won't work.
More Than Plain Letters
Being able to throw some plain letters inside of / / is great, but you could just use your trusty strpos() for that. Where the real power of regular expressions comes in is with metacharacters. These characters don't match themselves, but actually "misbehave" a bit. Some misbehave so much that they actually cause other characters to misbehave. The metacharacters in regular expressions are:
\ | . ( ) [ ] { } ^ $ + ?
In order to actually match these characters literally, you'd need to add a backslash before them. So, by that statement, in order to match a literal ., you could use the following pattern:
/\./
Notice once again the delimiters (/ /), and the backslash which comes before the metacharacter to "de-meta" it. But a bit of an interesting point to note would be that in order to match a literal backslash, you'd need to put 2 backslashes, since the backslash itself is a metacharacter.
/\\/
How Metacharacters Work
This section will be completely devoted to an in-depth explanation of each of the metacharacters, and how they act when used in a pattern.
The Catch-All Metacharacter (.)
The . is actually a pretty simple concept. The . metacharacter matches ANY character except for a newline (
), but that can be modified (we'll explain that much later). A simple demonstration of the . at work would be in a pattern like:
/c.t/
This pattern would match cat, cut, cbt, cet, czt, c4t, and so on, but not caat because there's only one dot (.) in the pattern. It's important to note that . only matches ONE character, until quantifiers are introduced.
The Anchoring Metacharacters (^ $)
Sometimes you'll need to actually make sure that a string begins or ends with a certain character. That's where ^ and $ come in.
The ^ character matches the beginning point of a string. It doesn't actually match a literal character, but instead, it matches a boundary. To make sure that a string starts with a Z, you could apply the following pattern:
/^Z/
The $ character is essentially the same as the ^ character, except it matches the end of a string. To make sure that a string ended with a g, you'd use:
/g$/
Note how the $ came after the g, unlike in the pattern with ^. This is because the pattern is literally telling the regex engine "a g followed by the end of the string boundary", not the other way around. In fact, it would make little sense, because you can't have characters after the end of a string. The only way that characters can appear after a $ is if you have your regular expression multi-line mode. It will be discussed in depth later on in this tutorial, but keep in mind that the meaning of ^ and $ can change sometimes.
These two metacharacters can also be used simultaneously in a pattern, and in fact, that's often how they are used. It would probably help to show an example:
/^abc$/
This pattern, after being taken apart, is quite simple. It is saying that a string must begin, then match a 'abc', then match the end. Basically, the string must be 'abc' in order to match.
The Grouping Metacharacters (( ))
The ( and ) characters are both used in a concept called grouping. The ( character begins a group, and the ) character ends it. Every ( must have a closing ).
This comes into play not only in capturing things to be used later, but it also is the only way to make other metacharacters operate on more than one character. Normally, each character is its own little subpattern on which other metacharacters can operate, but the parentheses change that. They allow more 'complex' subpatterns to be made. Any reference to the word subpattern from now on means a single character subpattern or a parenthesized group.
Any examples show right now would be rather pointless, but here's one:
/(abc)/
Right now, this would match the same as /abc/, but that's going to change after the explanation of other metacharacters.
Another use of grouping is to create backreferences, which actually allow you to match things based on what previous groups captured. This comes into play in substitution and more advanced syntax, but keep it in mind.
The Quantifying Metacharacters ( * + ? { } )
The quantifiers are among the most important regex metacharacters. They dictate how often a certain letter (or group!) can or must appear. They certainly make patterns more dynamic than just matching single characters.
The * quantifier says that the preceding subpattern must appear 0 or more times, which basically means that it can appear, and if it does, it doesn't matter how many there are. It's often used to account for random whitespace in a string, but it has other uses as well. For now, let's look at a simple pattern:
/ab*c/
This pattern would match ac, abc, abbc, abbbc, etc. If you want to have * operate on more than one character, you'd need to use those grouping metacharacters that were mentioned earlier (I told you they'd come in handy!):
/a(bcd)*/
This would match a, abcd, abcdbcd, abcdbcdbcd, and so on.
The + quantifier operates just like the *, except it dictates that the preceding subpattern must appear one or more times. It tells the Engine that a certain subpattern must appear, and if it does, it can repeat indefinitely.
/c.+t/
Here, you can see some of the real power of quantifiers. They can be used with any character, including metacharacters like the dot, in this case. This pattern would match cat, caaaaat, cbbbajsduasuut, cjkallskt, etc.
The ? quantifier makes the preceding subpattern optional, meaning the preceding group can appear zero or one times.
/a(bcd)?e/
This would match either abcde or ae, because the ? makes the (bcd) subpattern optional.
The { and } metacharacters are used to specify even more exact quantities for subpatterns. They have several different syntax options to accomplish different things, and they are as follows:
/a(bcd){2}e/ #matches abcdbcde because {2} specifies EXACTLY 2 matches /a(bcd){2,3}e/ # matches abcdbcde or abcdbcdbcde because {2,3} means 2 or 3 matches, inclusive /a(bcd){2,}e/ # matches any string with a, 'bcd' repeated AT LEAST 2 times, and an e. {2,} represents a minimum
By the way, you can't just specify a maximum without a minimum (like {,2}). If you wanted a maximum, you could say {1, max}. Also, an interesting note is that all of the other quantifiers can somehow be represented in terms of { }:
/a(bcd)*e/ is equal to /a(bcd){0,}e/ /a(bcd)+e/ is equal to /a(bcd){1,}e/ /a(bcd)?e/ is equal to /a(bcd){0,1}e/
The *, +, and ? quantifiers are often preferred for readability though.
It's important to note that without using the anchoring metacharacters, ^ and $, a pattern will bring back matches in a string even if there are other characters present. For example, in the following string:
drtabcabcabcpdl
The following pattern would indeed bring back a positive match:
/ab*c/
If you wanted to ensure that a string contains ONLY a certain pattern, you'd need to anchor it:
/^ab*c$/
Now the pattern would only match a, any number of b's, and a c.
The Alternation Metacharacter (|)
The alternation metacharacter is basically equivalent to or in PHP (which is why it looks so much like ||). It tells the Engine to match the stuff separated by |, starting from left to right. The instant that it finds something in the alternation, it breaks out and continues with the pattern. You'll most often use the grouping metacharacters to tell the | which strings to actually operate on, otherwise it could have quite unexpected results. The alternation metacharacter operates as far as the innermost enclosing parentheses.
/(yes)|(no)/
That would match either 'yes' or 'no' in its entirety, but it could have different results if the grouping was left out. It's highly recommended to keep track of how you group things, since it can completely change how the Engine looks at a pattern. Just to help you visualize an example of where grouping in alternation is important to keep track of, I'll show you the following pattern:
/prob|n|r|l|ate/
This pattern would actually match 'prob', 'n', 'r', 'l', or 'ate'. If you wanted to match probate, pronate, prorate, and prolate, you'd use:
/pro(b|n|r|l)ate/
The Character Class Metacharacters ([ ])
Ah, finally we've reached character classes. These are extremely powerful regex concepts to learn and understand, so read this section over a few times if it doesn't click.
Character classes tell the Engine to match any character contained within [ ] as one character. I think it would be best to start off with a basic example, such as:
/c[aeiou]t/
This regex would match cat, cet, cit, cot, and cut, because the [aeiou] class contains those characters in between the c and the t. If I changed the character class to [au], it would only match cat and cut. Now, it's not to say that you couldn't accomplish the same thing with the alternation metacharacter, but it becomes very unwieldy and most of the "cool" functionality of character classes (which will be covered right after this) can't be achieved with it. The previous pattern could have been written as:
/c(a|e|i|o|u)t/
But who actually wants to type that?
The cool part about character classes is ranges. Inside of a character class, you can specify ranges (separated by a -) to match. If you wanted to match a string containing any 5 digit number, you could write this pattern:
/([0-9]{5})/
Acceptable ranges are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and some other ranges involving the actual "value" of certain characters, but that's a bit advanced. Another important thing to mention is that ranges can be "stacked" inside of a single class. The following example illustrates that.
/^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/
That pattern would dictate that a string must contain any amount of only alphanumeric characters and the underscore (_), due to the anchors (^ and $), the quantifier (+), and the character class ([a-zA-Z0-9_]).
There are also "shortcut" character classes which the Engine understands automatically. They are as follows:
/\d/ #matches any digit /\D/ #matches any NON-DIGIT /\w/ #matches any word character (which includes the underscore and digits, so it's like [a-zA-Z0-9_]) /\W/ #matches any NON-WORD character /\s/ #matches any whitespace character like a literal space, a tab, and a newline /\S/ #matches any NON-WHITESPACE character
These shortcuts can be used both inside and outside of actual character classes, meaning they can appear anywhere in a pattern.
So, with this knowledge, we can shorten that "match 5 digits" pattern to:
/\d{5}/
Learn the shortcuts, as they'll help you a lot when you're actually writing patterns of your own. An example of using a shortcut inside of a character class would be:
/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/
This pattern would match a string containing a-z, A-Z, and any space characters.
There are also some other tiny nuances with character classes that you should really familiarize yourself with. If a character class starts with a ^, it no longer means the beginning of the string, but instead, it acts as ! (NOT) does in PHP. It negates the character class.
/c[^au]t/
That would match cbt, c$t, c!t, crt, etc, but not cat and cut.
Another interesting point to mention is that the . loses its metacharacter properties inside of a character class, meaning you can use it as a literal period inside of a class.
Metacharacter Conclusion
That just about sums it up for the metacharacters (there's still some advanced syntax involving a few metacharacters, but it's nothing to worry about yet). Remember that all of these metacharacters can be used at once in a pattern, allowing you full control of how you match your string.
Quantifier Greediness
I felt that this topic deserved a page of its own. When using quantifiers, there is a concept known as greediness and laziness which can cause a lot of confusion for newcomers to regular expressions.
What is greediness?
Greediness is how the Engine interprets the "jurisdiction" of a quantifier. Let me set up a quick scenario:
You have the string 'exasperate'. You run the following pattern on it:
/e(.*)e/
Believe it or not, but that (.*) actually matches xasperat instead of xasp as you may have thought. The regular behavior for quantifiers is to gobble up as many characters as it possibly can, hence greediness. It wants to grab as many characters as it can possibly get away with and still match. That's why it goes right past the second e in exasperate and keeps on matching until it reaches the last possible e it can.
Making the Match Lazy
This default behavior can be changed by adding a ? after a quantifier. In order to have (.*) match 'xasp' in the previous scenario, you could use:
/e(.*?)e/
That tells the engine to take as much as it needs to succeed on the match, and nothing more. Another way that you might see greediness being countered is by using negative character classes, but that only works if there's only one character you want to prevent greediness from. For example, in an HTML-matching pattern, you wanted to get the text in a certain <p> tag, which just so happens to be followed by another <p>, like in this tiny snippet:
<p id="test">p1</p> <p id="test">p2</p>
You could write your pattern like this:
!<p id="test">(.+)</p>!
This would, not surprisingly, gobble up BOTH <p> tags, even though it's really mismatching the closing tag. The Engine doesn't realize that, and it likes being greedy, so it does. You could rewrite the pattern as:
!<p id="test">(.+?)</p>!
Or, you could use a negative character class and say:
!<p id="test">([^<]+)</p>!
The latter is often slightly quicker in terms of execution speed, but can be more difficult to understand.
Another great use for negative character classes is when you're trying to get the information from a specific HTML tag's attribute. The following pattern would get an img tag's src attribute.
!<img(.+?)src="([^"]+)"(.*?) />!
Now, that's a really complicated pattern, but when you break it down, it's actually quite simple. First, you want to match the literal pattern '<img'. Then, you match any amount of characters (non-greedy), until you reach the src attribute. Then, you use a negative character class ([^"]+) in order to grab everything up to the ending ". Then you have any amount of characters, followed by the standard way to close an img tag.
The concept of greediness and laziness is very important to learn in order to get the results you want when we actually get to using the patterns matched (that's the subject of the next tutorial, actually). Re-read this page as many times as it takes until you completely understand the concept.
Pattern Modifiers
Remember when I was talking about reasons why a regular expression must have delimiters? It's not only to contain the regular expression, but it's also to allow for use of special pattern modifiers that go after the ending delimiter. These allow you to modify how the Engine actually views your pattern. In this section, I'm going to go over every modifier that's commonly used in match regexes. In the next tutorial, when substitution is covered, I'll go over the modifiers that work for substitution, as there are some differences.
The Insensitivity Modifier (i)
If you use the //i modifier, case insensitivity is enabled for the entire regular expression. Take, for example, the following regular expression:
/super/
That would match 'super', but not 'SuPeR' or 'SUPER'. In order to have it match all of those possibilities, you could use a lot of alternation or some clever character classes, or you could just apply the i modifier:
/super/i
Note how the i went AFTER the closing delimiter.
The Newline Match Modifier (s)
Back when I explained the Catch-All Modifier, ., I said that it would NOT match newlines. The //s modifier allows it do to so. Consider the following scenario.
You have a file with the following contents:
something //start STUFF! some more stuff... //end
If you wanted everything between those two comments (//start and //end), you would write your regex like this:
!//start(.+?)//end!s
Now, pay close attention to what I did. Since I actually needed to use the / character in my pattern, it made no sense to use it as the delimiter, because then it would need to be escaped every time I used it (/\/\/start(.+?)\/\/end/s), and it's incredibly hard to read, so I used an exclamation point as the delimiter. The s modifier on the end allows the pattern to match all of that stuff in between the two comments even though they're on separate lines.
The Multiline Mode Modifier (m)
This modifier is kind of strange, to be honest. It actually changes the behavior of those two anchoring metacharacters (^ and $). Normally, they'd match at the beginning and end of a string, respectively, but with the //m modifier, they actually match next to
(newlines). You probably won't find yourself using this too often, unless you maybe wanted to ensure that every line in a file had, for example, only 5 digits per line:
/^\d{5}$/m
The Freespace Modifier (x)
This is more of an advanced modifier, and it makes the Engine ignore ANY whitespace inside a regex. This allows you to actually create comments inside of a regex and freely space it to make it easier on the eyes. For example, the following regex (which illustrates some concepts that I haven't gone over yet, but don't worry about it, it's just to demonstrate free spacing):
/\b(\w\S+)(\s+\1)+\b/i
Can be written as:
/ /b #word boundary (\w\S+) #word "chunk" ( \s+ #whitespace \1 #same word "chunk" ) + #repeat if necessary \b #boundary /xi
Certainly more readable, right? Comments can be placed on the end of the line with a # and then your remarks.
Where to Find More Modifiers
You can always look at http://us3.php.net/manual/en/reference.pcre.pattern.modifiers.php in order to see every supported pattern modifier. Many of these are hardly used, so I deemed it unnecessary to show them all to you, but if ever need to look one up, you can do it on that page. Remember, always consult the manual when you're in doubt about something. Also, keep in mind that there's actually a modifier that can ONLY be used when substituting, and I'll introduce it in the next tutorial, since you wouldn't be able to really visualize what it could do yet.
PCRE vs. POSIX
This is more of a technical part of the tutorial that I felt should be covered (thanks zanus!). There are actually two "flavors", if you will, of regular expressions supported by PHP. They are Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) and POSIX Extended regular expressions. PCRE is much more robust than POSIX, and it can do so many more things that POSIX simply can't even come close to. They're VERY similar in syntax (for the most part, until you get to advanced syntax, which will be in a later tutorial), but PCRE has a lot more functionality. I thought that I'd outline some of those differences here, so you know why you should most certainly learn PCRE over POSIX.
Binary data
PCRE can be used on binary data, whereas POSIX cannot. PCRE can function with all of the individual bytes and characters of any string, be it text or binary, which is a huge plus.
Speed
POSIX has the potential to be much slower than PCRE. I'm not going to go into much more detail than that because I'd rather not confuse people.
Modifiers and Delimiter
POSIX does not support ANY modifiers on their patterns, but they also do not use delimiters like PCRE. The only option that you have with POSIX is case-insensitivity, but it even uses a completely different function, which I could hardly call optimal. PCRE's modifiers extend the regex language's capabilities in countless ways.
Deprecation in PHP6
Here's one of the most important reasons to not use POSIX. POSIX regexes and the related functions (ereg(), eregi(), ereg_replace(), and eregi_replace()) will no longer be a part of PHP6. They will be available ONLY in an extension through PECL (which is basically PHP extensions written directly in C for optimization). Many people won't be able to add this extension, especially on shared hosts, so POSIX is pretty much pointless to learn.
Usability in Perl
PCRE regular expressions were modeled after Perl's regular expression engine (hence Perl-Compatible), and can often be ported directly over to Perl, provided you know how to actually use regular expressions in Perl. Many of today's languages that support regular expressions also use some form of PCRE, so you only need to learn one flavor of regex in order to use it in many different languages.
Putting it All Together
Well, now that we have the basic syntax out of the way, I'm going to put some example patterns up for you to analyze, and then show you exactly what they do.
/^\w+:(\s+\w+)\s+\d+$/m
Match a word, a colon, a space, a word, a space, and some digits on every line
/pro(b|n|r|l)ate/i
Matches probate, pronate, prorate, prolate, without case sensitivity
/^[+-]?\d+$/
Matches an integer which can have + or - (or even nothing) in front of it. It can also have leading zeros because 0 is included in \d.
~//start
(.+?)
//end~is
Matches //start, a newline, any amount of characters on any amount of lines (//s modifier), a newline, and //end
These are just some example patterns. When I get into advanced syntax, you'll be able to create much more intricate patterns, such as:
/(\d)(\d{3})(?!\d)/ replacement: $1, $2
I hope some of these basic patterns have gotten you more interested in pursuing regular expressions. ;)
Conclusion and Future Tutorials
This tutorial was meant to be a (comprehensive) tutorial of the most basic regular expression syntax. There are still many more advanced concepts, but that will be the subject of maybe the 3rd or 4th tutorial in this set. The next tutorial will involve actually applying these patterns in PHP, creating matches and using the grouping metacharacters to create match groups, substitution, and some other concepts directly related to regex use in PHP. Then, I'll cover all of the advanced concepts in order to help you create more efficient and more specific patterns.
Just to show you the utility of regular expressions, I actually had to use one to correct some of the tags that I used to show you the regular expressions. It looked a bit like this:
!\[code(=php)?\](.+?)\[/code\]!is
That found all of the code tags for me, so I could easily use a replacement pattern to make them into the proper tags. ;) | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9aebeee62601f12ac9121bbdec6ae59740f97721b09269ea1a84f1ccb48d76b3'} |
historic farm and eco-resort
A Day at the Biointensive Garden
Post 36 of 137
My room at the inn faces east, which means that I can instantly tell when it’s a sunny morning from the strong rays striking my face around 7 am. Last week on one of those sunny days I decided to check out the biointensive garden.
There are three garden interns here at the moment: Tania, Susana, and Rachel. Matt runs the biointensive garden at the Stanford Inn through Ecology Action, the non-profit responsible for the development of the growing methods used here.
I headed down to the farm around 11 am with Tania, here for 6 months from Nicaragua, as my guide. She led me to a long, narrow patch at the northeast corner of the farm where we would be planting a new-to-me crop called vetch. Interestingly, the vetch isn’t being grown for human consumption, instead it’s grown between edible varieties to promote the growth and health of the soil.
IMG_2056 IMG_2072
As Tania guided me through the spacing, digging, and planting process for the vetch, she also meandered through her own story, as I was quite curious how someone from such a different place ended up in rural Northern California. Tania, who is an extremely young-looking 32 (I originally guessed 24!), took me through the story of her sister and now-deceased parents, and how her time watching her father do so much for the lives of others back home had inspired her to come here now. She spoke of her degrees, her time spent working at a university, and with a subtle glistening in her eyes the story of how she lost her parents.
Tania’s smile
But all of this was not without the sweet curiosity that is permanently manifested in Tania’s face; in the two weeks I’ve been here I don’t think I’ve ever seen her lacking her friendly grin and singsong giggle. As she began to dig she explained to me how the farm operates in the spanglish (an eccentric blend of Spanish and English) we had cultivated based on our mixed bag of language abilities. Her English is pretty good, but I’m definitely glad to get some Spanish practice. Anyways, they aim to maximize the amount of calories that can be grown in the smallest plot of land possible, and to make each farm a closed system. That’s the whole idea behind planting the vetch: to regenerate the soil, so outside sources do not need to be used.
IMG_2069 IMG_2070
The crops are grown using a 60-30-10 system: 60% of the area is used for high-carbon-producing crops that also produce a significant amount of calories, such as quinoa (shown below–I never knew it was such a beautiful plant!) and other grains. 30% of the area goes to crops that are both area- and weight-efficient (based on calories), such as root crops like potatoes. The final 10% goes to vegetable crops, which are mainly planted for micronutrient needs but do not produce significant amounts of calories or carbon. Based on their growing techniques, they can grow enough to feed one person a diverse and nutritious diet using 40 beds–that’s only 4,000 sq. feet!
Beautiful quinoa
Partway through Matt came over to show us how planting vetch was done (aka we were going way too slow, probably thanks to my questions). After I finished up my part I was sent to make compost! Check out this beast of a compost pile. They even keep a thermometer in it to monitor progress!
IMG_2113 IMG_2115
This isn’t your typical mush-pile of random scraps. In order for them to be able to make the most of their compost (which is a big part of their biointensive philosophy!), it’s a tightly-packed, expertly-engineered system that involved me using a super-legit tool to hack apart different plants. It was like a curved, serrated machete that made me feel like I was in Heart of Darkness, hacking my way through Central Africa. Anyways, I first had to put down a layer of fava bean plants facing in one direction, followed up by a wheat-like crop (I don’t remember exactly what it was) in the other. Next up was a mish-mash of dried up prickly, stringy things, all packed down with a layer of soil dug up from another part of the farm. And repeat. Phew!
All the while I had this awesome view of the horses in their pasture right next to the farm. They even came right up to me when I offered my hand to them (probably sniffing around for scraps!).
Yesterday was such an awesome day, filled with lots of dirt, sun, and a bit of elbow grease. I will certainly be back to learn more!

Here at The Stephen Longfellow Academy, all pupils study ICT at Key Stage 3 and they will cover a comprehensive range of topic areas. The ICT curriculum builds on the teaching at Key Stage 2 and covers three main strands:
1. Digital Literacy
2. ICT
3. Computer Science
Each half term throughout Key Stage 3, students complete a new ICT project covering the three main strands mentioned above. Within these units we have placed an emphasis on developing transferrable ICT knowledge, understanding and skills.
Over this half term, the key learning objectives for the learners have been to develop their understanding and awareness of internet safety. E-safety is an integral part of our learner’s education in today’s digital world and this has been embedded in their learning during this half-term project work.
As part of our learner’s curriculum and the development of computer skills, we strongly believe that the use of the web and technology is hugely worthwhile and an essential tool as they grow up in the modern digital world as it becomes a platform they use to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. As there are always concerns about children having access to undesirable materials, we have designed a curriculum which aims to improve their own understanding of e-safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '20', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9570212364196776}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '723211', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:6WQ44OA2XVSNZWLNBY47ASCWOIFMLBPP', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1b7485cb-1dd2-48e7-8642-1dc7cb5d5671>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 18, 3, 44, 26), 'WARC-IP-Address': '77.104.172.54', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:4UDVXBIKOTEJ34PWJG3S3MY53GWBE5BV', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:f8bcbaa9-be5d-4538-bbc9-3e554f9c8a6f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.stephenlongfellow.leeds.sch.uk/ict-ks3-half-term-4-update-2018-19/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:83b3741b-e41a-490a-bcdd-43c2d0a975fd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '230', 'url': 'https://www.stephenlongfellow.leeds.sch.uk/ict-ks3-half-term-4-update-2018-19/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-26\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-113-175-32.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.14148598909378052', 'original_id': '4121bed77f31389a2ed97e1c2a3d0641af28b3f5553c7f82f7a2d6e1cb719458'} |
Letter: Tinted windows on vehicles shouldn’t be allowed on roads
The government has obviously approved the tinting of windows to the extreme in vehicles. I can no longer see whether the driver of another car in the same intersection can see, me let alone acknowledge what I am planning to do, nor can he or she see me.
Why do we do things like this?

Use this chart to help your family and personal horde be safe and ready for the hazards that come with surviving covid-19 in your community and day to day life while we all work to social discipline and distance and beat covid to 0%!
Be a leader not a follower!
I do not recommend big parties where hordes of 4 or more exist exceptionally while your community is in the RED ZONE! GUYS THAT MEANS OUR HOSPITALS ARE IN TROUBLE! STAY HOME!
How to deal with the hazard!
1-10 Risk Rating
People not social distancing and creating super spreader scenario situations
Getting stuck in tight large dense packagings of people trying to get what they want rushing through the store and giving great chance to virus spread
Don't go in a store that looks over crowded.
Ware your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)
Be a leader say "Social distance"
Be courteous "Allow folks 2 meters"
Make plans to go shopping when the stores are not so busy
4- if good.
10 if people are getting ridiculous
Fighting with family
People aren't getting along because they are sick of covid
Possible emotional or violent situation
We got time to breath - love your family - show respect and concern. Be empathetic, people are dying, there is a real pandemic going on - do a new activity or game together
Roommates get cabin fever and want to go party and protest the lock down
People get cabin fever in the winter already let alone when the Premier is doing his babysitter thing to protect the hospitals of getting over whelmed! Yes its happening guys! We are at our limits! Don't make it harder for ems or doctors ok!
Your home group is wanting to have some fun and you gotta get them out, but at the same time - hitting the next door patio and the girls with drinks is just not a possibility during Red Zone.
Use your mask / Have some fun but follow the Red Zone rules
Use hand sanitizer after you touch any public input devices
Go cross country skiing, take a walk in a park together, put together a ration bag for a needy neighbor, or single mom or dad, do something for the disadvantaged so you remember what you got! Shovel for some one and its nice when you get the feeling of the free magic penny just be nice. But again be a leader remind them when the party bug bites we got to social discipline and distance until covid is 0%
To many people on the bus.
You gotta social discipline. If the bus is packed.
People not taking the extra few steps to create the 2 meter social distance standard bubble
Ware a mask and remind people to keep there social distancing when they can so you don’t have to be in the air way of potential virus transmission
Plan to go early so that you don't need to rush.
Waite for the next bus, and explain to your boss what is going on-your a hero if you waited for the next reasonable spaced rider bus
Peer pressure and "False News"
People get in your face and exclaim - "Its all a big control plan, covid doesn't exist!"
People doing this are very out to lunch! If your false news kills someone define that by law!
Some lady at the store is not in any way following the directions of the floor sign and when reminded what to do, she says "I am a health worker and you got more chance of getting the flue then covid 19." and pushes her face right in yours.
This reminds me of martial arts with out striking your hazardous threat. Here stand back, and be assertive and remind her that in reality - covid has killed millions of people globally! Remind her that you understand she is a little uptight but we must respect and be happy.
I just use my feet, step away from her to maintain keeping 6 feet, or 2 meters between you and that person - step to the side, give them a "your stupid" look! Totally tell them covid is for real!
Hanging out in danger areas considering the wind and air systems of big buildings
People can choose or need to be in higher risk areas like clinics or hospitals - how we conduct yourself makes a huge difference in times around those areas
You gotta work in the nursing home or at the clinic with high volume line ups.
Ware your mask and social distance.
If you have to be quick so you are not in the line of respiratory discharge or coughing.
Don't put your face in other peoples face, if you gotta hug, do it by God but keep your face from direct line of fire respiratory to respiratory trajectory!
If there is a line up, keep your sitting or task area in the up wind location not down wind, remember that if you are placing seniors out side keep them in a staggered area out of the line of fire for respiratory trajectory like people coughing into the wind, and the wind carrying there cough over to the other table and now we got 5 instead of one! Keep ears, eyes, noses and mouths in thought at all times. Don't put your ear to someones mouth or cough air way.
7 if people are hording up in “fail” groups.
Erratic Traffic
People are driving a little crazy and its more dangerous out because of people being pre occupied. Your driving and people are rushing and being more dangerous then normal
Go out as little as possible and stay out of high traffic areas.
If you are in a situation where drivers are getting out of control, drive defensively!
Honk, don't hesitate.
Give room to pedestrians and be courteous to your countrymen people - in memory of Tena Marie Brunelle a community volunteer, a woman of my heart - killed by a driver who wasn't paying attention in down town London, Ontario Canada in the last few days!
My biggest pet pieve about London, the big little city every one is a boss, every one is so that and a bag of chips! but you know what tough bosses you ain't shit if you are that outy of control and that busy that you can't even give 20 secounds and stop your car for your countryman and woman to cross- alot of times even injured - ok only ems should be in that much of a rush! Not you there Capone or wonder woman what ever your facade that don't empress me! Patience, courtesy, leadership - tough people who can take the ball and make an impact! Not looser who can't even stop for a homeless person! LOOSER LOOSER TO ME BIG L THERE STINKY BUMS-ya even you baldy! you ain't no better under God! lol you know who you are! lol

Kisamba Mugerwa: A FOCUSED JOURNEY
You may not know him especially if you are below 30 yet he only retired recently after holding a number of reputable positions in the country and at the international level.
Wilberforce Kisamba Mugerwa is one of the few living professionals that have taken off the time to grow through the different stages of work both in the academia and civil service.
At a time when the country did not have very many professionals to fill up the various positions, Kisamba and a few colleagues played the role. People who take up public positions tend to be only known for their public image and little or nothing at all is known about their private lives. Save for a few.
Here is a tale of a man that played in three unrelated fields, if I may say. To be a dedicated business man that worked to increase his income while working as a civil servant and later as a politician, would easily say is a rare man.
His love for his mother and wife is much undisputed and the weight of emotion upon his mother’s demise is heavily felt. Hate him or like him, Kisamba Mugerwa is one of the few people that lovingly write about their spouses and make you feel like getting married tomorrow. In the course of their lives, he has really supported his wife. Today they are both retired and it is clear that standing with each other means a lot. As a family man, Kisamba’s heart has always been not far from his family. His dedication to transform their livelihood to being a modal farmer is not something to be taken for granted.
Focus comes with intention yet where there is focus also is diversion. It is harder to remain focused than is it to be diverted. A Focused Journey aligns the author’s life together to help the reader come to reality with a person like Kisamba Mugerwa.
It is only people that take off time to reflect on their lives that have such an opportunity to come up with such brave ideas. He is one man to envy.
Many of the self styled leaders in positions similar to the ones that Mr. Mugerwa occupied may not be in position to give a clear and detailed account of their stay in office as this gentleman does. His hatred and intolerance for corruption and inefficiency is very clear.
There is nothing I find more defining like having to building up the people around him. In all the offices he occupied, the author took it upon himself to work with people in teams by knowing their personal life.
All these things he has achieved by being a very simple man focused on changing his story and that of those around him. His story is indeed a tale of courageous strides.

Best Memorizing Technique
News Discuss
Memorization Strategies Many college classes demand you to definitely memorize mass amounts of information. Memorizing for just one class is usually challenging, but it can be more aggravating If you have several lessons. Several learners truly feel like they simply don't have strong memory capabilities. Thankfully, nevertheless, memorizing just isn't https://jonathank752cnt8.therainblog.com/profile

After the initial return of messages, another 20 came in. People, there is a reason that the system sais we require emails, if you make one up like [email protected] or [email protected] you won't be able to get on the board.
After we've banned all accounts with non-working email addresses, we'll be removing all of them with a 0 post count as there is no point of having them if theil never work.
In fact, I may even make a list of which were purged when it's finished.

The effects of screening length in the non-local screened-exchange functional.
The screened exchange (sX) hybrid functional can give good band structures for simple sp bonded semiconductors and insulators, charge transfer insulators, Mott-Hubbard insulators, two dimensional systems and defect systems. This is particularly attributed to the sX hybrid scheme fixing the self-interaction problem associated with local functionals. We investigate the effect of varying the screening parameter of the exchange potential on various material properties such as the band gap. The Thomas Fermi screening scheme in which the screening parameter varies with an average valence electron density leads to a weak dependence of the band gap on valence electron density, so that a fixed screening parameter could be applied to heterogeneous systems like surfaces, interfaces and defects. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'bfac6f0113bf7e5adabe2378b6928a254bc8b157f79cac641205b8266181c642'} |

Skip to 0 minutes and 11 seconds To develop the concept of entrepreneurship further, we go into the processes of entrepreneurship. Starting on the end of the process, what is it entrepreneurs want to attain. One thing often assumed is value, value for customers, value for the enterprise, and value for themselves. How to get to that value? That’s the entrepreneurial process, which consists of, first, recognizing or creating an opportunity for value creation. Second, converting this opportunity into a workable concept; and third, capitalizing on a concept in a growing organization. Important questions in entrepreneurship research are characterized by attempting to typify the process further. It also involves aspects such as the longstanding discussion regarding rational, plan-based working, which come from Popper, versus so-called “muddling through,” which was labeled by Lindblom.
Skip to 1 minute and 12 seconds It relates to the complexity and uncertainty of entrepreneurial processes and to the availability of resources. For the latter, the term bricolage also crops up in entrepreneurship literature as a way of characterizing the process that entrepreneurs go through. In this case, bricolage primarily refers to creating something from very few resources with the help of improvisation and creative processes. The basic assumption is that starters often have few means at their disposal and, therefore, have to call on their powers of creativity to make effective use of them.
Skip to 1 minute and 48 seconds Saras Sarasvathy developed an approach which depicts two approaches– causation, which assumes a goal-oriented plan to rational process, and effectuation, which is based on the control perspective, which is more building on existing resources to inductively build a business opportunity. As depicted in the photo, she assumes shows a process which starts from the entrepreneur herself, determining who we are, what we have, and who we know to come to a first answer of what we can do in a new company. And then in interaction with others, the process leads to multiple adjustments of that we can do as an enterprise. Original entrepreneurial ideas may change considerably in this process.
Skip to 2 minutes and 36 seconds Sharon Alvarez and Jay Barney make a strong point for opportunities not to be discovered– as if they are already there. One just has to find them– but to be created by the entrepreneur and his enterprise. For example, the concept of smartphones was created by entrepreneurs, such as Steve Jobs from Apple. But in the ’90s, many, now heavy users, had no idea why they would need a mobile, let alone a smartphone. In the creation perspective the uncertainty is higher, rather than in the discovery setting, the uncertainty is smaller, although the risk may still be high.
Process of entrepreneurship
In this lecture a process model of entrepreneurship is developed.
Starting at the end of the process, what is it entrepreneurs want to attain? Where does it start? Are opportunities discovered or created?
In the next step, we will elaborate on causation and effectuation in more detail.

A Look at the Tech Inside Printer Cartridge Bombs
Terrorists are running out of places to put their bombs—even shoes are off limits now. So where do you stick explosives these days? Here's a look inside the deviously clever design of printer bombs that made recent headlines.
Officials aren't certain what group is behind the improvised bombs that found their way onto cargo planes this past week—but they demonstrate an ingenius and sophisticated design with basic electronics you probably have sitting around your home or office.
The idea was simple. Pentaerythritol tetranitrate, more commonly known as PETN, is a relatively stable explosive. To detonate it, you basically need to blow it up with something else—or hit it really hard. But unlike other explosive compounds, the risk of a PETN-based bomb destroying itself accidentally is low. And a little bit goes a long way—a fifth of an ounce of the stuff will blow a hole in metal twice the thickness of an airplane fuselage.
A Look at the Tech Inside Printer Cartridge BombsS
So these as-for-now anonymous bomb makers took around 7 pounds of PETN and stuffed it—rather crudely—inside a printer cartridge, along with some equally crude electrical wiring. All of this was linked up with a SIM card just like the one you have inside your phone. The job wasn't exactly spotless, bomb experts note, but it was clever enough to keep it hidden for a disconcerting length of time. The assumption is that the SIM card would have been used to detonate the explosive printer remotely, via a phone call. But so far, there's no sign any antenna was present—so where would the bomb have received a signal? And what was going to be used to detonate this hard-to-detonate PETN? Nobody really knows yet. But the design betrays an eye for technical cunning that's at once amateurish and, morbidly, brilliant.

Q:
Connecting Java to MySQL using mysql-connector-java-5.1.24
I'm reading through the JDBC API Tutorial and Reference 3/E (MAN, what a dry tome), and I'm having trouble connecting my Java program to my MySQL database using the MySQL Connector supplied by Oracle.
I've placed it in my folder
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\mysql-connector-java-5.1.24
and I've pointed my Workspace CLASSPATH in JGrasp to
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\mysql-connector-java-5.1.24\mysql-connector-java-5.1.24-bin.jar
I'm trying to connect to a database called "Coffee." It definitely exists:
mysql> show databases;
+---------------------+
| Database |
+---------------------+
| information_schema |
| coffee |
| mysql |
| performance_schema |
| phpmyadmin |
+---------------------+
5 rows in set (0.03 sec)
here's my Java code. (If you have the book, I'm on page 88. The only difference between my code and theirs is some comments, and that I'm going with MySQL.)
//first, import sql package
import java.sql.*;
//name class CreateCoffees
public class CreateCoffees {
public static void main(String[] args){
String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:coffee";
//declare variables
Connection conn;
String createString = "create table COFFEES " +
"(COF_NAME varchar(32), " +
"SUP_ID int, " +
"PRICE float, " +
"SALES int, " +
"TOTAL int)";
Statement stmt;
//instructions
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
}
catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
System.out.println("Class Not Found - " + cnfe.getMessage());
}
try{
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "root", "");
stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
stmt.close();
conn.close();
}
catch(SQLException sqle){
System.out.println("SQL Exception: " + sqle.getMessage());
}
}
}
Everything compiles just fine, but when I run it, I throw the following SQLException:
SQL Exception: Cannot load connection class because of underlying exception: 'java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "coffee"'.
What exactly am I doing wrong? Is there something I can run to otherwise test connectivity between Java and the database? I'm fairly new to both.
Also, it should be noted that this is not homework.
EDIT: It would seem the offending line of code is
String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:coffee";
and should be changed to
String url = "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/coffee";
because coffee is a database and not a port.

Why do you have "coffee" as your port number? You're supposed to have your mysql server port number there
jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:coffee
Hint: default port number is 3306. So try
jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/coffee
(Assuming your database name is coffee)

The director of the Oregon Ferret Shelter fears that the shelter may have to move or close because of a zoning issue it faces with Clackamas County.
When Chris Mathis and her husband, David, purchased the property on South Holly Lane in Oregon City back in 1992, it was located in a district zoned for general farm use.
When they moved in, they checked with county government officials and were told they were could use the property as a ferret shelter, Mathis says.
But when a complaint was lodged against the shelter recently, county officials slapped the Mathises with a citation for operating a business from their property without land-use approval.
Mathis is unsure who filed the complaint.
Upon responding to the complaint, the county determined the shelter was in violation of the zoning ordinance, says county planning director Mike McCallister.
He says the zoning hasn’t changed, and just because the shelter has been operating for so long doesn’t mean it ever was in compliance with the county code.
“There’s no information that we have that they obtained a permit when they first started,” he says.
Clackamas County has given Mathis the choice of either closing the shelter or applying for a business permit, a process that she says the process requires pricey adjustments to her home that she can’t afford.
"We do not accept either of their options," says animal law attorney Geordie Duckler, who is representing the Oregon Ferret Shelter. "We're not applying for a business permit because they're not running a business."
The bone of contention revolves primarily around what the definition of “farm use” actually entails.
The county's definition of 'general farm use' in property zoned as a Rural Residential Farm Forest 5-Acre District includes: "Feeding, breeding, selling, and management of livestock, poultry, fur-bearing animals, or honeybees."
According to the county, a shelter that adopts and cares for domestic ferrets does not meet all those stipulations.
“They aren’t breeding them; they aren’t producing new animals,” McCallister says.
All parties agree that ferrets indeed constitute fur-bearing animals.
However, Clackamas County maintains that since the animals are not being managed or sold for the purpose of producing fur, the shelter is in violation of the ordinance.
Duckler says that doesn’t make sense for Mathis to close her shelter because she is helping to save ferrets, rather than kill them.
“The only thing my clients are not doing is killing and slaughtering. That really shouldn’t make a difference,” he says. “There’s nothing about managing a fur-bearing animal that requires that you kill it.”
The RRFF-5 zoning also includes “Any other agricultural use, horticultural use, animal husbandry, or any combination thereof.”
According to the county, the Oregon Ferret Shelter does not conduct animal husbandry, either, which it considers to be “a branch of agriculture concerned with the production and care of domestic animals.”
The fact that the shelter cares for and adopts ferrets for use as domestic pets – rather than breed them – is not a “normal and customary farm practice,” according to the county.
Duckler says their next step is to file for declaratory relief, essentially asking the court to provide a legal interpretation of the county ordinance. They aren’t seeking money, he notes, just permission to operate as the shelter has for the last 21 years.
He estimates they will receive a hearing date in a month or so.
Duckler is confident about the case. He cited two cases that went to the Oregon Court of Appeals: Siegert v. Crook County and Linn Co. vs. Hickey, both of which allowed that dog kennel operations constituted animal husbandry.
If they don’t win their case, Mathis fears for the fate of ferrets throughout the state.
“I’m worried that if they get us to the point where we can’t do business, there will be no place for them,” she says.
Currently, hers is the largest ferret-only shelter in Oregon, aside from Lane Area Ferret Shelter and Rescue in Eugene. Mathis estimates she takes in about 350 ferrets each year.
Many local animal shelters direct ferret owners directly to her rather than take in the animals, she says.
Currently, about 100 ferrets are available for adoption at the shelter, with another 30 that are sick and require special care.
“One time we had over 300 ferrets here for adoption,” she says. “There’s a huge need.”
Mathis says they may move the shelter to another county in order to continue operating if they need to.
It’s unlikely she will apply for a home business permit. The application fee alone is $520, and she says the process would require thousands of dollars in fees for surveys, necessary renovations and other costs.
“We just don’t have the money. We’re hand to mouth here,” Mathis says. “Every dime is going to the ferrets.”
The nonprofit, volunteer-run shelter has already spent about $2,000 in legal fees and paperwork relating to the case, she says.
She and her husband have been planning to retire within the next couple of years, however.
“What I’m really looking for is for somebody to take over,” she says.
She’d love to turn over the shelter name and assets to someone who fancies ferrets as much as she does, adding that she’s happy to train them.
In the meantime, she’ll continue caring for ferrets as long as she can.

GBP/USD: another 'V-Top' pattern
GBP/USD: another 'V-Top' pattern
There's another 'V-Top' pattern, so the price is declining. The main intraday target is the next support at 1.2723 - 1.2695. The subsequent pullback from this area could lead to an upward correction towards the closest resistance at 1.2784 - 1.2826.
The last 'Flag' pattern has been broken, so there's a new local low. It's likely that the pair is going to test the nearest support at 1.2723 - 1.2711 shortly. Meanwhile, if a pullback from these levels forms next, there'll be a moment to have a bullish correction in the direction of 1.2784 - 1.2804.

Toronto police detonated a suspicious package left at Dundas Station late Friday night.
The TTC shut down subway service between Bloor and Union around 11:30 p.m. when the package was found. Streetcars were also diverting.
A muffled bang was heard shortly after 1 a.m. when officers triggered the blast.
TTC service returned to normal soon after. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '9d470c77ce522c64a10b9676b635d07b109ea587b9660086db78c5446f8d3ed7'} |

I want to write a windows service that will communicate with my win app and it will run my windows form. How can I do it? If you give me a link of a simple example it will be very good.
I have another question: if I run my win form with windows service and if I don't close my form, it will be closed if the user logs off, is it true?

Look at msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… for on-machine and msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/… for cross-machine communication. – Jaroslav Jandek Mar 6 '11 at 17:48

There are numerous options:
• WCF
• .NET Remoting
• shared memory
• named pipes
• plain TCP
What mechanism is the best for your case depends on tons of requirements you haven't stated and probably didn't think about. In case you don't have a clue what you need from it, just grab any mechanism that is simple enough and for which you've googled a suitable tutorial and just start coding.

i want to get the time of login/logout of any users in local network ,now i want to start my service and it runs my app that my app record the time,but if user logs off the app will be closed,and i can't record details any more,is it true??? – Farna Mar 6 '11 at 18:10
Ondrej has answered the first part of your question. You also asked:
I have another question if I run my win form with windows service and if I don't close my form ,it will be close if the user logoff,is it true?
Well, first of all, a service runs without any UI, without any forms. If your service needs to communicate to your user, then that's what you need your app for.
But to answer the question I think you are asking, when a user logs off, any apps that are running will close, but services continue to run.

what happen for my service if Account properties of serviceProcessInstaller1 be set to user??? – Farna Mar 6 '11 at 18:06
@na.farzane Nothing. Services run in a different, non-interactive session. – Ondrej Tucny Mar 6 '11 at 18:11
what's different between "user" and "localsystem"?? – Farna Mar 6 '11 at 18:16
@na I'm not sure about your question. LOCALSYSTEM is a special account. In very old versions of Windows, services ran under this account. In modern versions, this account still exists but you should not run services under this account. – David Heffernan Mar 6 '11 at 18:19
Actually a windows service is used to perform an operation that must run in a time interval independently. It do not have any UI that shows the progress of the operation.
See the example for a situation where you can use a windows service...
Eg: If a table contains n number of records and each record must be processed. Assume that the processing might take few minutes, which may result in some kind of time out in asp.net, you can run this process using a windows service. You can set a timer inside the windows service to schedule the row processing (one row at a time and finishes up the entire row processing by the end of the day).

Listening to music while riding a bike
I go to the gym almost everyday these days. Now I am making a playlist for the gym on my iPod touch.
Unfortunately my gym is closed because of the system maintenance. I have to wait for Wednesday.
I went to the body shop to buy the following Virgin Mojito Body scrub, with listening music in high spirits yesterday evening.
Then they asked me what I was listening, I answered "SEIKIMA-II".
They were surprized that I was listening to that music. Maybe they assumed that I was listening to some other J-Pops?
After they laughed a lot, I said that I was giving the devil's power, and impersonating His Excellency Demon like "Shall I make you my next wax doll?"

Listening To Pirate Radio Stations from South America
Looking for a new DX challenge? In addition to shortwave pirate stations in the USA, and Europe (Europirates as we call them), there’s a relatively new group of pirate radio stations being heard in North America, those from South America.
It’s really only been the previous year that we’ve confirmed that there’s a significant number of pirate radio stations in South America that can be received here. Radio Pirana has been known for some time, and I believe thee were a few reports of it, and at least one other station that I cannot remember the name of, but that’s about it. For years there have been logs of very weak UNID stations heard on the 43 meter band (6800-7000 kHz), presumed to be pirates of some sort, and it is possible some of these were South American pirates.
Most of these stations use homemade transmitters, often of the “Lulu” design, with a IRF510 or similar MOSET RF final stage. That means they are generally in the 15 or 20 watt carrier range, although some are higher power. That also means that unless otherwise noted, all of these stations use AM mode, and in general the frequency is highly variable, easily varying 100 Hz or more from night to night, or even during transmissions.
One important caveat: Since most of these stations use relatively low power, and due to the long distances involved, signal levels are generally weak, although occasionally when conditions are excellent (especially if there’s grayline propagation), they can put in stronger signals. I am fortunate to live in a rural area with relatively low noise/RFI levels, and have several high end receivers and large antennas. My primary setup for catching these stations is a netSDR receiver and a 670 foot Sky Loop antenna. You’re going to want to use the best receiver and antenna you can for catching these stations, you’re not likely to have good (or any) results with a portable SW radio, RTL dongle, or small/indoor antenna. Also, I record the entire 43 meter band nightly on my netSDR, and then go through the recordings each morning. This lets me catch stations that may only appear for a brief period of time. That said, you can still hear them with a reasonable HF setup, although it may take persistence, checking each night, until conditions permit reception.
It’s well worth checking the Latin American Pirate logging forum on the HF Underground website, to see what is presently being heard. The HF Underground is the best way to keep up to date with the hobbyist radio scene in general, with dedicated forums for North American Pirates, Europirates, and of course radio in general.
And for those of you into collecting QSLs – many of these stations are reliable QSLers!
In general, the easiest station to hear is Lupo Radio from Argentina. It is on the air most evenings on 6973 kHz in AM mode. At least at my location, it puts in the strongest and most reliable signal. Usually in the SIO 222 to 333 range, sometimes stronger. There are frequent IDs. I use Lupo Radio as a “beacon” to gauge how good conditions are to South America on 43 meters.
Another station that is often on the air is RCW – Radio Compañía Worldwide from Chile. They use 6925.13 kHz, and their carrier is more stable and usually on this offset frequency, which makes it easier to determine that it’s likely you’re hearing them vs a US pirate station.
New to the scene is Radio Marcopolo on 6991 kHz.
Also new to the scene is an as yet UNID pirate from South America on 6934.9 kHz. I have received them for several weeks now in the local evenings, usually starting around the 2300-0300 UTC window. They put in a respectable signal (relatively speaking), strong enough for Shazam to ID songs. They have frequent breaks in their transmission, with the carrier often going off and on many times during a broadcast. They also occasionally transmit audio test tones, and sometimes seem to relay audio from licensed stations in Argentina such as Radio El Mundo. This could be someone testing a new transmitter? A new mystery to solve!
Radio Dontri is somewhat unique in that they use USB mode, on 6955 kHz. They also send SSTV, which is sometimes easier to receive than music, and helps to verify that you’re actually hearing them, vs a US pirate on 6955. They tend to drift a lot, however, which can make decoding the SSTV transmissions challenging.
Outside the 43 meter band, there is Rádio Casa 8000 kHz. I have only received weak carriers from this station, although partly that may be because I do not frequently check for it, and it does not turn up on my overnight SDR recordings.
Radio Triunfal Evangélica is other station outside of the 43 meter band, they use the nominal frequency of 5825 kHz, often closer to 5824.9 kHz. Again I have only received a carrier from them. As the name implies, they are a religious station, affiliated with a church.
Now that we’ve talked about the pirate stations from South America, we should probably mention things you are likely to hear that are not pirates. Specifically, what we call Peskies (or Pesky as the singular), short for pescadores, the Spanish word for fishermen. Peskies generally use LSB mode, and can be heard on many frequencies in the 43 meter band, engaging in QSOs. Years ago, pirate listeners started to call these stations pescadores, since some of them were indeed fishermen, and could be heard discussing related matters. It might be better to think of most of them as freebanders/outbanders, much in the tradition of those transmitting on 11 meters. There’s a logging forum on the HFU dedicated to Peskies, if you’re interesting in learning more about them.
Occasionally they use AM mode. We’ve logged several on 6965 kHz (+/- of course), that at first were thought to be pirates.

How College Coaches Pick Their Recruits
Monday, May 9, 2011, 12:00 am
Dathan Ritzenhein, Carrie Tollefsen, Chris Solinsky, Sara Hall (Bei), Bob Kennedy and Suzy Favor-Hamilton. All were Foot Locker cross country finalists. All are household names as professional runners. Clearly each of them are the type of athlete a coach dreams of landing as a recruit at the collegiate level.
Abdirizak Mohamud, Amber Trotter, Kenny Cormier, Katelyn Kaltenbach, Matthew Withrow, and Aislinn Ryan. Unless you are a serious disciple of running, you have probably heard little or nothing about these runners. But not only were they all Foot Locker finalists, each was also a national champion. By all accounts, each of them should have been just as sought after by coaches as any of the aforementioned names. However, aside from Withrow having a bit of success as a college freshman at the University of Wisconsin, none panned out at the next level.
Check out the archives of any serious running forum and you will find them filled with threads asking, “Whatever happened to (name of bust)?” Supposedly Mohamud, a two-time Foot Locker champ, hardly trained as prep. Yet, he was such an exceptional talent that people can hardly fathom that he did nothing as a runner in college. Cormier was known for 100-mile weeks in high school. Yet, he decided it better quit running at Arkansas after a couple of seasons in order to join the Marines and fight in Afghanistan.
Both of these stories are examples of what happens to supreme high school talent more often than not. And both are quite a contrast to the recent 10K American record of Solinsky or the Olympic success of Ritzenhein.
With a limited number of scholarships and intense pressure to perform, Division One coaches have little margin for error when it comes to recruiting if they wish to remain competitive. Which begs the question; how does a coach distinguish between a Ritzenhein and a Mohamud?
Are there warning signs that point to a potential bust? Or are coaches at the mercy of fate when it comes to recruits?
Perhaps no question evokes more emotion in coaches than the question of how many miles a week a prep athlete should run. Certainly there are very few advocates for the 20-mile week regiments of old football players turned cross country coaches. However, the line between 35 and 85 becomes much grayer.
Joe Newton’s York high school squads from suburban Chicago have won 27 Illinois state cross country titles, routinely qualify for Nike XC Nationals and have produced multiple Foot Locker finalists. It is no secret that Newton’s runners routinely log mega-miles. What is also not a secret is that many in the running community view his methods, along with the methods of many other high-mileage power programs, as essentially ending many running careers before they have a chance to start.
“A lot of coaches stay away from Joe Newton’s kids and kids from similar programs,” says Tom Heinonen, the former women’s cross country coach at the University of Oregon. “Rightly or wrongly, many coaches of higher-mileage-programs get maligned along the way.”
On the surface, power programs such as York, Arcadia (California), The Woodlands (Texas), Carmel (Indiana), Fayetteville Manlius (New York) and others, historically have seemed to produce an inordinate number of collegiate busts when compared to the caliber of runner they routinely produce at the high school level. Naturally, many arguments exist in defense of these types of programs: The kids never would have had the chance to run for a national-class program without that background; sure the kid wasn’t a national champ like he was in high school, but top five on a national-qualifying team can’t really be considered a bust; or better to strike gold when you have the chance and win a title than to leave something in the tank for what is only a potential victory later.
Whether these power programs do their kids a favor or a disservice by training as aggressively as they do can be debated until all parties are blue in the face. The sheer volume of runners that move on to the college ranks from these programs and the unquantifiable nature of what defines a bust make it impossible to determine whether or not there is any validity to the idea that higher-mileage programs damage the collegiate performance of their alum.
However, just because it cannot be statistically proven that certain types of high school programs have an adverse effect of the future performance of a runner, this does not mean that coaches at top programs don’t let their gut instincts impact the type of recruit they find most desirable. While it certainly was not the only factor coaches considered when looking at an athlete, the coaches interviewed for this article certainly did have strong opinions about both high and low mileage backgrounds.

Room for Improvement
“You want somebody that you can still develop, but who is not so far behind that it takes five years for them to be where you need them,” says Jon Murray of Texas Tech, who coached the Lady Red Raiders to a third-place finish at last fall’s NCAA cross country championships. “Those kids coming out of programs running 80-90 miles per week make you wonder where they are going to go once they get to college. What’s going to be new to stimulate their training?”
Iona’s Ricardo Santos, who coached the Gaels to an eighth-place finish at the national meet, concurs.
“I personally prefer a mid-mileage kid,” he says. “If a kid runs 90-100 miles per week, you wonder is he tapped out, already developed, or burnt out?”
This isn’t to say that coaches from top programs purposely avoid guys with mega-mileage training backgrounds. Ron Helmer of Indiana coached the Hoosiers to a seventh-place finish at NCAAs and says that he has had success with kids coming from both low-mileage and high mileage programs.
“You want to find a kid who is motivated to go forward and has the ability to come to terms and understand what that is going to entail,” Helmer says. “If you recruit a kid from a high mileage background you know you’re going to get a kid who can train, but jumps in improvement will likely come slower. What you worry about is that if he isn’t getting those big jumps he might not buy into the program.”
According to Helmer, buy-in is a huge key to a collegiate runner’s success. In his opinion, kids from lower mileage backgrounds have an advantage in that with a moderate jump in training, they are likely to experience a large jump in success. With success comes the motivation to train, which in turn can lead to more large jumps. However, if mileage is too low, there are risks.
Proven Durability
“If you get a recruit who isn’t at as high a level you have to ask yourself whether they will be able to hold up without injury,” Helmer says.
Florida State coach Robert Braman led the Seminoles to a second-place finish at nationals last fall and weighs in on the topic of durability by using the example of former Foot Locker champion Michael Fout.
“Before Mike arrived he had very few weeks in his life at more than 50 per week. His highest ever might have been 56,” Braman says. “I didn’t do my homework. Even on that mileage, the kid had three stress fractures in high school.”
According to Braman, Fout has been hurt in three of his four seasons at Florida State. He doesn’t regret his decision to recruit Fout, who finished 28th at NCAA’s and second on Florida State’s team. He praises him for his leadership, pure talent, and competitiveness. (And to Fout’s credit, he ran a 13:46.19 PR in the 5,000m early this outdoor season.)
However, he does think that Fout serves as example of how coaches do need to be careful.
“If I’d done my homework I probably would have redshirted him,” Braman says. “If a kid’s not durable and you put a lot of money into him, how many years can you afford to have him on the developmental shelf? That’s why generally I like a guy who has run 55-60 miles per week on one run a day and has never been hurt. Add two to three morning runs and then they’re up to 75 without a problem.”
Interview after interview produced strikingly similar results. Whether there is any scientific or statistical basis behind it or not, coaches from top division-one programs tend to prefer kids who have produced exceptional results with a relatively moderate training background. However, if there isn’t any concrete evidence to suggest that a runner from one type of training background is more or less likely to succeed than one from another, why have any preference at all?
The truth is that while all the coaches interviewed had a tendency to suggest a preference for an athlete with a middle-of-the-road training background, further discussion generally led to conversation about an issue they considered of more concern than simple mileage.
“Many kids from these assembly-line-type of programs who run really fast in high school, are able to do it because a strong support system has developed around them,” says Heinonen. “They have supportive parents, knowledgeable coaches, perhaps someone serving the role of sports psychologist. And what’s their reward for running fast? They’re plucked out of the hat like a rabbit with high expectations of success without the support system.”
Heinonen goes on to explain that the sudden lack of support often is what causes many kids to lose motivation and fall flat on their face at the next level. He says that when kids come from programs that are bigger than life, it makes the job of the college coach much more difficult. The technical aspects don’t change, but the task of getting the same kind of enthusiasm and intensity from the runner is often more difficult.
Florida State’s Braman agrees. “The thing I worry about most about a kid from a York type program is will they be able to run for themselves?” he says. “Can they handle it emotionally, mentally, and physically when they’re no longer a part of that larger program and they’re running on their own?”
“We try to stay away from kids who are over-involved,” Helmer says. “We’re looking for kids who aren’t carrying a load of expectation and who are in touch with the reality of running at this level.”
Heinonen expands on that idea.
“There are good reasons to avoid people from programs that keep producing huge teams with giant size success,” he says. “Part is that the kids have trained awfully hard for a long time. Physically they might not have as many steps left to climb. That’s why I was always looking for someone with less support or maybe little or none. I wanted kids who were successful in high school in spite of their situations, not because of them.”
In the end, it is clear that while coaches may have some preconceived notions about what it is they want in a recruit, aside from anecdotal feelings, they have little to help them predict which type of athlete will flourish and which will bust. Perhaps Iona’s Santos sums up the art of recruiting best.
“At the end of the day, I want a kid that is going to fit into the program and be a hard worker,” he says. “Sometimes you have to go with your gut and take a chance.”
How Many Miles?
Coaches interviewed for the article repeatedly stated that in an ideal world their recruits would come from a, “moderate,” training background. However, when they say, “moderate”, what exactly does this mean. A quick survey of coaches reveals the answer likely lies around 60 miles-per week for guys and about 45 for girls. *Note, in some cases coaches provided a range. In these instances the median mileage was used in the chart.
Braman, Florida State = 55-60 Boys, single runs. 45-50 Girls.
Murray, Texas Tech = 60 Boys, 50 Girls
Santos, Iona = 60-70 Boys, 40-50 Girls
Eric Heins, Northern Arizona, 55-65 Boys, 40-50 Girls
Skip Pickens, Oklahoma (women’s assistant) 40-45 Girls

A Pilot’s Perspective: What It’s Like to Fly Over Conflict Areas
share this article
On flight routes that cross above countries with conflict zones, commercial pilots must consider much more than routine procedures.

A seasoned British Airways pilot shares how her favorite flight route between London and Amman involves complicated protocols, diplomatic communications, and navigating “no-fly zones”—revealing more about the world than you might expect.

As we descend over the Dead Sea, the bright lights of Jordan’s capital city appear in the distance surrounded by the darkness of a largely uninhabited desert. The air entering the flight deck starts to thicken and the familiar sweet, musty smell of the Middle East fills my lungs. Three words welcome us over the radio waves as we establish contact with Jordanian airspace: Salaam alaikum Speedbird.” Every airline has a call sign that identifies its aircraft in air-ground communication—Speedbird, representing a bird in flight, belongs to British Airways. When I hear these three words, they warmly remind me that we have nearly touched down in one of my favorite countries in the world.
I’ve been flying jet aircraft commercially for eight years. My 6,000 hours of experience have taken me across Europe’s corners, from Reykjavík, to Moscow, to Larnaca, and beyond. The most recent type of aircraft that I am certified to fly on, the Airbus 321, has a much greater range and has taken me even further afield from my British homeland to countries in the Caucasus region, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Today’s route from London to Amman quickly became my favorite to fly—not only because within approximately five hours you are transported into a culture that feels worlds away, but also because from a pilot’s perspective, the journey brings complicated challenges that are unique to flying in this region.
A takeoff with complexities to consider
Before every flight—no matter the route—the captain and I calculate the engine power settings and speeds necessary to get airborne. (These depend on the aircraft’s weight and external atmospheric conditions.) We then upload our entire flight route—it consists of airways and waypoints, invisible GPS coordinates that create air pathways similar to highways and junctions. The on-ground flight planning team then determines the most fuel-efficient way to reach our destination depending on jet streams and upper winds, also taking into account other safety aspects such as “no-fly zones.”

No-fly zones can exist for many reasons. Some blocks of airspace are banned from commercial aviation so they can be used by military airforces; others are prohibited due to security concerns. Under no circumstances are we allowed to penetrate them. On this route between London and Amman, the airspace above Syria is relevant: With the civil war being fought by several entities, there is a genuine risk that our aircraft could be shot down by military jets or ground-to-air missiles, whether deliberately or by mistake.
We finally receive our take-off clearance and begin to accelerate down the runway at Heathrow Airport, soon reaching our initial cruising altitude at 33,000 feet somewhere above Belgium.
The route from London Heathrow Airport to Queen Alia International Airport in Amman
After more than seven years of short-haul flying, Europe and its landmarks have become very familiar to me. The flatlands of Belgium transform over an invisible border to the rolling hills of Germany and Austria. Next, we follow the winding Danube River from Vienna to Belgrade. This region does not fall short of architecturally impressive cities, and the bridges that make the Danube so romantic stand out prominently—even at altitudes as high as ours. Just a few weeks ago I sat in a rooftop café overlooking the Szechenyi Chain Bridge. Now I am admiring it from 35,000 feet in the sky.
These governments’ refusal to acknowledge each other on the ground affects the airspace above.
A dreamy, deep blue now lingers as night falls over the Adriatic Sea. We departed from London just after 2 p.m. Halfway into this flight (after we’ve crossed two time zones), the twinkle of the first star appears—the first of thousands that I’ll see in the sky tonight. I’m lucky to sit in one of the best seats on the planet for stargazing.
Europe is behind us and the Middle East beckons. As we pass over striking mountainous terrain in western Turkey, we edge our way into the skies above a region whose conflict affects commercial aviation.
Navigating a conflict zone from above
The first obstacle on this route is a political hot spot known among pilots as “Chaos Corner,” or the Republic of Cyprus. The Turkish and Greek governments have disputed over Cyprus for decades: Greeks claim the Mediterranean state belongs to them, but in 1974, the Turkish military invaded the island’s northern area and declared rule over the territory. These governments’ refusal to acknowledge each other on the ground in Cyprus affects the airspace above.

During flights, pilots ordinarily communicate with one air traffic controlling body at a time. But in the northern Cyprus area above Ercan and Nicosia (the name depends on who you’re talking to, though Nicosia is internationally recognized), we have to speak to two simultaneously. Because both Greek and Turkish air controllers try to control the space without communicating with each other, pilots who fly over this part of the world must listen to the air traffic controllers from both live frequencies and diplomatically navigate through the airspace.
To complicate matters further, we are rapidly approaching the skies above Tel Aviv. Israel has one of the strongest air defense forces in the world: All aircraft entering the country’s airspace must establish communication with Israeli air controllers and receive entry approval prior to the boundary—about 180 miles out, to be exact. (This protocol happens nowhere else in the commercial world.)
The obstacles we encounter serve as constant reminders of the world’s many existing conflicts that still need resolving.
If an aircraft crosses the boundary without approval from Israel’s air controllers, a military jet would pay that aircraft a visit within seconds. I certainly wouldn’t want to be in the situation where our aircraft was identified as “unknown.” We pass over Tel Aviv carefully, following the exact waypoints assigned to our flight before takeoff. Shortly after Israel’s air control has firmly identified our blip on their radar, we receive authorization to continue.
Tel Aviv from the air is impressive, an expansive, radiant city dotted with tall skyscrapers and neatly patterned neighborhoods. I look out the other side of the flight deck and can even spot Jerusalem’s most recognizable landmark, the Dome of the Rock, its intricate gold roof glistening from afar. I am incredibly humbled to fly over a region whose history has defined much of the world today. But on the route between London and Amman, the obstacles we encounter serve as constant reminders of the world’s many existing conflicts that still need resolving.
Jordan’s capital city, Amman, is home to both modern buildings and ancient ruins.
As we descend over Amman, I’m hopeful that peace will one day reach the entire region over which we’ve just flown. Down to 11,000 feet over the Dead Sea, and our 200 passengers have safely reached Jordan—a country full of unworldly landscapes and endless hospitality. We make contact with Jordanian air traffic control.
“Salaam alaikum Speedbird.”

A Four-Week Gym Routine To Get Big And Lean
The idea behind a 5 day split is that you dedicate each of the 5 days to a major muscle group. The 5 Day Split Workout Routine. Lower them back to the start. You can grab our Strength Training How the plan works In each of the four weeks of this day plan you will train your chest and back twice.
Bend and grasp the bar with an overhand grip, then stand up until your back is straight again, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top. Tempo training To get the full effect from these workouts, you need to stick to the four-digit tempo code for each exercise.
Keeping your elbows tucked in, curl the weights up, squeezing your biceps at the top. Keep each rep smooth and controlled so your muscles — not momentum — do the work. If you do bench presses on Monday, go with shoulder presses on Wednesday and dips on Friday.
How To Build Your Own Workout Routine
If you can do more than 15 reps without much of a challenge, increase the weight or the difficulty of the movement. Keeping your chest up, bend your elbows to lower your body as far as your shoulders allow.
Below is a basic formula for you to determine how long you should wait between sets, but this can be adjusted based on your level of health. Do not freak yourself out by worrying if you should do 4 sets or 5 sets.
Always be challenging yourself.
The Top 3 Muscle Building Routines To Follow For Maximum Muscle Gains!
How do you determine how much that is? Rest for 3 to 5 minutes Reps lifting for strength: As you get stronger and start to learn about how you like to train, you might switch to a lower rep range, even up to a single rep of maximum effort on a movement like a Squat or Deadlift.
Try lunges on Wednesday and box jumps on Friday. This will help stretch out the muscles, get the blood flowing, and improve muscle elasticity to help prevent injuries.
The first digit indicates how long in seconds you take to lower the weight, the second how long you pause at the bottom of the move, the third how long you take to lift the weight, and the final digit how long you pause at the top.
Reps in the range build a somewhat equal amounts of muscular strength and muscular size this is called sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. Do the best you can, record how long it takes you to rest between sets, and try to rest for shorter periods in the future.

See above. 10% is pretty huge, especially when taking into account the apparent size of the target population.
And especially granted the state of our power grid, which already loses a lot to the environment, and is already overtaxed...adding additional waste is a really stupid idea.
Let's make up some numbers.
There's ~8 million people in NYC. Let's say that, on average, they live 2 people to a household. Then let's say that half of those households have cars. Then let's say half of those would have an electric vehicle such as this. That's 1 million electric cars if you've managed to follow the arithmetic.
Let's say that it costs $50 a month to charge said vehicle. That's $50 million dollars a month spent just in NYC on electricity for these cars.
...and at a loss rate of 10%, that means that 5 million dollars' worth of electricity was just flushed down the toilet in a month. $60 million a year - wasted. Generated, transported, delivered...and thrown away.
Just in one city.
That seem like a good idea to you?
Saying "electromagnetic induction is one of the most efficient methods to transfer power wirelessly" is akin to saying "getting punched in the gut is one of the least painful places in which to get punched." You're still getting punched. Better to not get in the fight in the first place. Plug your damn car in.

Not saying you're wrong; you certainly bring up valid points. However, charging efficiency tends to go down with faster charge rate. Basically you're trying to shove electrical power into the battery's chemistry so quickly that some of it "spill over" and heats up the battery. The few graphs I've seen show charging efficiency dropping from close to 90% to around 70% for a quick-charge.
So a 10% loss in a slow "always on when parked" charger will probably be better than the charging losses from a rapid "OMG I forgot to plug it in and I need to go in 30 min" quick-charge. Which is more efficient overall will really depend on the actual battery charging specs and performance, as well as the charging habits of the population overall (how frequently do they use quick charges).

This would require a huge electromagnetic field to charge the battery overnight.
Since most governments are not dumb enough to pay for magnetic chargers at every traffic light, store, post office, etc. to the tune of TRILLIONS of dollars, don't expect this idea to fly.
This is a political balloon launched to see how much support there is by clueless politicians. This idea will die a quiet death.

Let us assume that it is feasible to recharge the car while at a stop light, while at a store, and so on. At home, you would pay for the electricity to recharge the batteries. But what about away from home? Electric companies aren't going to keep the induction chargers going because they like you. Plus, unless electric cars are the majority of vehicles on the road, there is a lot of waste.
In my mind, the one thing that will keep this idea shelved is figuring out how to make those who use this technology pay for the electricity they use.
My only idea is to fit each EV with a RFID. When a vehicle is over a charging pad, it reads the RFID. Then the charging pad communicates with a central network that holds the information where a bill can be sent. The charging pad will also work on authenticating the vehicle to make sure the RFID isn't forged. After all checks have passed, the vehicle begins to charge until the charging pad detects the vehicle has moved. This idea will require each charging pad to be connected to the internet. All that will be expensive. Who is going to pay?

Let's compare the Kilowatts needed to charge an EV in hours, not minutes and the amount of electromagnetic field it creates to the few miliwatts generated by a mobile phone and then talk safety, regardless the carrier frequencies involved in the process. I bet nobody wants his ass fried while charging his car, so I consider this is not a solution for the public.

And wireless charging is going to be very inefficient. It just can't see that making sense in a high amperage device like a vehicle, any time in the near future.
Sure, in an ideal world, EVs don't even need batteries and just get it beamed to them or get it from connecting to element on the road. That cuts down on weight, but this isn't going to be happening anytime real soon.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a filter for the separating of solids particles from hot, gaseous or liquid media, especially separating dust particles from hot flue gases in the temperature range of within 120.degree. to 800.degree. C., which consists of a permeable, inherently stable carrier material or substrate which is provided with larger pores; in essence, a support member in which the carrier material is constructed so as to be heat-resistant, and which especially contains constituents of non-corroding materials, such as glass, ceramic, metals or compounds thereof; and in which filter the carrier material can be produced through the intimate, partial bonding of the heat-resistant particles thereof, and wherein the carrier material also possesses a structure or, essentially, a spatial or three-dimensional configuration, which is correlated with the type of utilization and the specified capacity.
It is in general known that for the separation of particles from gaseous or liquid media there are employed filters, and these, in accordance with their field of application, are to be constructed as textile fibers, carbon fiber filters, felt filters, paper filters, plastic filters, and metal or ceramic filters. While the textile, felt, paper and plastic filters are employed within a lower temperature range of up to about 150.degree. C., the metal and ceramic filters can encompass the higher temperature range; for example, such as up to about 800.degree. C., whereby the last-mentioned filters are also adapted to be employed in flue gas areas of heating installations. This is particularly desired inasmuch as, with an increasing reduction in environmentally-contaminating emissions, the filtering of hot gases at temperatures of more than 250.degree. C. constantly increases in the significance thereof, inasmuch as, on the one hand, the high thermal content of the cleaned or purified gases can be readily employed to without having to take any further measures and, on the other hand, these flue gases produce a lower contamination of the environment.
The utilization of the available materials for the filters has shown in regard thereto that glass, ceramic and carbon fibers are susceptible to fracturing as a consequence of being brittle in nature, whereas for metal wires, such as metal webbing or meshes, the interspace between the wires is too large in order to be able to achieve an adequate filtering effect for fine dusts. In addition thereto, in that the utilization of such heat-resistant materials, such as sintered materials, porous, small-pore-sized ceramic materials amongst others, provides relatively little advantage, since the initially good separating action continuously deteriorates, inasmuch as fine dust penetrates into the pores of these materials and which can no longer be loosened therefrom even through special cleaning measures, and thereby finally leads to the blockage of the filter.
With regard to filters intended for use in the so-called high-temperature range, those have been established whose filter elements are primarily constituted from clay or ceramic and which, for purposes of simplicity, are constructed as cylindrical tubes in the shape of filter cartridges. These filter cartridges, which are constructed so as to be open at their ends, are installed between mounting supports in the housing for the filter and fastened therein in such a manner that the medium which is to be filtered will penetrate through the mantle or casing surface of the filter cartridge into the interior thereof and then again exit this interior through an opening at one end of the filter cartridge. This opening of the filter cartridge communicates with a chamber for the filtered medium, and then this medium exits through a discharge connector of the filter. The filter cartridges which are fastened to the mountings are rigidly joined to the latter, and cannot follow or compensate for the loads or stresses caused by the flow of the medium and especially the stresses produced during the cleaning of these cartridges through countercurrent flow, as a result of which it is not possible to be able to prevent fractures, especially at the neck portions of the filter cartridges; referring to German Patent No. 30 17 851.
In order to especially be able to prevent such damages being encountered by the filter cartridges, filter cartridges of this type are swingingly fastened on their mountings. This pendulating fastening of the applicable filter cartridge is facilitated in a manner in that, on the one hand, the mountings which separate the cleaning chamber or space from the filter chamber or space is constructed as an apertured plate, whereby the apertures are so configured that they possess a larger opening cross-section facing towards the cleaning chamber than towards the filter chamber. The filter cartridge, in turn, is equipped with a flange-shaped web at its end towards the cleaning chamber, through which this filter cartridge supports itself on the inwardly drawn bead of the aperture in the mounting. For purposes of a better support of the filter cartridge on this bead, this bead can also be configured as a cup-shaped annular shoulder, and the further cross-section of this aperture beginning from this annular shoulder, increasing towards the filter chamber, is wideningly constructed so as to impart the filter element the necessary space for the swinging moment. The end of the filter element; in essence, the filter cartridge, which is distant from this neck is provided with a bore into which there engages a bolt which is fastened to the mounting. This bolt can be inserted into the bore either with play or without play, whereby with the construction of the bolt in the absence of any play, the latter is supported by means of an elastic sleeve against the filter cartridge. The cup-shaped annular shoulder at the neck of the filter element and the elastic support of the bolt at the opposite end, on the one hand, facilitate the support for the bolt at the opposite end, and on the other hand, the swinging suspension of the filter cartridge on the mountings, so that this cartridge is better protected against damage in comparison with fixedly mounted filter cartridges. However, with regard to this filter it is viewed as being disadvantageous that the applicable filter cartridge is too unsteadily clamped between the mounting which, on the one hand, can lead to sealing problems and thereby to contaminations of the filtered medium, and on the other hand, due to the suspension of the filter cartridges from the cup-shaped annular shoulders, the disassembling of the filter cartridges is rendered more difficult; referring to German Patent No. 35 15 365. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '7a9804ca440ca01e2f4ded75e434a81ec4135a2db879a1258793f7793bd53fb3'} |
Capri Cafaro: The Trump-Biden duel is heating up. Here’s my secret advice for both men
The 2020 general election is more than a year away, but you would never know it by how President Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are behaving. This week, the incumbent Republican president and Democratic hopeful Biden had a virtual faceoff in Iowa, providing voters with a preview of what a Trump-Biden matchup may look like.
President Trump wasted no time taking shots at Biden. Trump's strategy seems to be to discredit him right out of the gate. Even before leaving Washington, Trump called the former vice president "weak mentally" and a "dummy." While stumping in the Hawkeye State, Trump painted Biden as a loser and as part of an administration that eroded America’s stature on the global stage by being apologists.
The president asserts that he would love to run against Biden, because he would be easy to beat. However, it is clear from the president's behavior that he is running scared.
Name calling by Trump amounts to an endorsement for his subject. We have seen it time and again. "Crooked Hillary," "Low Energy Jeb" and "Little Marco" are some of the better-known nicknames Trump has given his political adversaries. When Trump lobs insults, his opponents earn bragging rights, because Trump is paying attention to them. When Trump calls Biden "Sleepy Joe" or a "dummy," the Biden camp can make the case that Trump feels threatened and is lashing out. I think there is probably some legitimacy to that hypothesis.
Biden needs to be careful that he does not inadvertently alienate Americans who voted for Trump and whose support he will need to win the Electoral College.
Biden’s strategy, in part, is similar to Hillary Clinton’s 2015 strategy. He is hoping to use his front-runner status in the primary to stay above the fray and conduct himself as the presumptive Democratic nominee.
At first blush, this is a solid strategy. He holds a significant lead in the polls in a crowded field of more than 20 candidates, many of whom are competing to capture the attention of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Instead of sparring with other Democrats, Biden is taking aim squarely at Trump. Frankly, that is better than having a family food fight within the party that could weaken the eventual nominee.
I listened to some of Biden’s remarks from Iowa. I agreed with many of his statements on protecting a free press and ensuring we have an economy that works for every American. Biden also spent a significant amount of time arguing that President Trump is incompetent and morally bankrupt. Painting Trump as a threat to the future of our republic gives me some pause. It may be a strong message for Biden in the primary, but it could create some challenges for him in a head-to-head match when he must compete with Trump for critical voters.
Here are my two cents for both the Biden and Trump camps to consider.
First, I would caution Biden not to repeat the mistakes of the past by assuming his nomination is a foregone conclusion. That didn’t work out so well for Hillary. Biden needs to make sure he takes nothing for granted, fights for every primary vote and presents a cogent policy agenda that is much more than just anti-Trump. Biden needs to be careful that he does not inadvertently alienate Americans who voted for Trump and whose support he will need to win the Electoral College.
Trump, for his part, would be served well by ignoring Biden (and every other Democratic contender), because his attention gives them more credibility.
One thing is clear. The 2020 race is going to be a wild ride. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '16', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9611036777496338}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '65102', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:NWKCLBV344ESHWZV5YUQB4JV2TA52DFZ', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:bab0223c-a32c-435b-a593-d194348e6aa1>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 18, 3, 16, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.218.117.84', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:LO6QLI7NURJXG4NJI5JL6SXWYRUHL5CA', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e47ab470-d0e3-41ea-8632-3a56aac191ab>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/capri-cafaro-trump-biden-2020-election', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:83b3741b-e41a-490a-bcdd-43c2d0a975fd>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '619', 'url': 'https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/capri-cafaro-trump-biden-2020-election', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-26\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-113-175-32.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.028598785400390625', 'original_id': 'ade906964fe449dcb9b89ff108b72c75f6ce2ef7322ac81053a7bdbbe94fc00b'} |
What makes hedge funds different from other investment options?
Image source: LOM Financial
In definition, a hedge fund is a pooled fund that utilizes several strategies to manage and invest funds. It is primarily a managed fund that can invest in bonds, commodities, stocks, or even in real estate. How it differs from a mutual fund is that, with a hedge fund, anyone who wishes to invest should be accredited.
That is, their minimum annual income should fall under a specific net worth, depending on the country they are in. In the United States, for instance, you need to have at least $1 million to be a part of a hedge fund. Most important, these investors should have the crucial knowledge for investing. Unlike mutual fund investors, hedge fund investors are also known as the “sophisticated investors”.
When talking about the structure of hedge funds, one can see some similarities to mutual funds. For instance, like the latter which depends on sub-advisors to manage the funds, the former can be run by managers. However, unlike mutual funds, hedge funds cover a wider range of investment strategies and a broader list of the kinds of investment positions that they can follow.
The most commonly known hedge fund structure is called the “limited or general partnership” model. Here, the general partner takes on the responsibility to operate the funds. On the other hand, limited partners can only invest into the partnership but can only be liable for their own paid-in amounts.
Typically, the general partner uses a typical structure, the limited liability company, also known as LLC. In this case, the general partner has the responsibility to both manage and market the funds. Additionally, they can perform the important functions such as hiring fund managers as well as administering the fund’s operations. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9697561264038086}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '17206', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:S2A54LZTO7PNHLAMTFC4MMWWZ4L62Q63', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f37ae22a-7910-4d86-a7bd-c3d4c7b39cfa>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 3, 21, 21), 'WARC-IP-Address': '72.10.51.174', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:7XPLV54UORBLM4XTTYX6MK3JBUH5SOQ7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0bf98ce8-962e-4d6d-878d-cf25f2b46176>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://phoenixsupersound.co.uk/tag/hedge-fund-structure/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:5c59da42-3278-4e89-ad4c-c6b0ed334ed0>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '297', 'url': 'http://phoenixsupersound.co.uk/tag/hedge-fund-structure/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-51-149-184.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.937129557132721', 'original_id': 'f796f26cec0e586ff4f17a089270d09d1445c94a129c59273d213b8cd9f540ff'} |
Oxcarbazepine in combination with Tiaprid in inpatient alcohol-withdrawal--a RCT.
Oxcarbazepine (OXC), a derivative of Carbamazepine (CBZ), may represent a solution to metabolic and side effects of CBZ treatment due to the fact that renal excretion is its major route of elimination. The goal of the study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of OXC/Tiaprid (TIA) combination therapy to the well established Clomethiazole (CLO) therapy in an inpatient setting. To investigate the efficacy of OXC/TIA in terms of lower alcohol withdrawal symptoms and better tolerability, 56 alcohol-dependent patients participated in a randomized open-label trial, where OXC/TIA and CLO treatments were compared. Following admission, we observed that severity of alcohol withdrawal syndrome was comparable between OXC/TIA and CLO-patients. Overall tolerability was good. However, significantly more patients in the OXC/TIA-group (48.1%) displayed no AE compared to the CLO-group (24.1%). We found no significant differences between groups regarding total number of recorded adverse events (AEs). OXC/TIA inpatient therapy proved to be as effective and participants demonstrated the same tolerance as with CLO. In medication-based alcohol withdrawal, OXC/TIA could have the potential to become a promising alternative for alcohol dependent patients unable to undergo inpatient withdrawal therapy with CLO. Our findings further indicate that it could be worthwhile testing OXC/TIA in alcohol withdrawal in daily care units and outpatient settings. This is an important question for national health care services, since outpatient therapy is more and more asked for as alternative to inpatient settings. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'f2b903d6b08bcba651b6870d82b37e56b4e528ca5b42ae6c2c97ee516b177bf7'} |

Cette proposition est adoptée. Sur la proposition du même rapporteur, le Conseil général maintient à 0,20 cent., pour 1880, le maximum des centimes additionnels facultatifs pour les communes. M. G-oudareau expose que d'après l'article 3 de la loi du 7 avril 1851, le Conseil général doit désigner, chaque année, les hospices et hôpitaux dans lesquels seront traités les malades indigents des communes privées d'établissements hospitaliers. Votre Commission d'administration, ajoute M. Goudareau, vous propose de maintenir, pour l'année 1880, les désignations faites, les années précédentes, et consignées dans le tableau ci-après : DÉSIGNATION DÉSIGNATION , des cantons dont les malades des seront admis dans HOSPICES on HÔPITAUX les hospices désignés ci-contre Avi«n0n • j êéTarrfde, L'Isle LTsle.

Le même rapporteur fait la proposition suivante : L'adjudication de la fourniture des imprimés départementaux consentie le 16 décembre 1876 en faveur de M. Seguin, imprimeur à Avignon, prend fin le 31 décembre prochain. En raison des avantages sérieux obtenus par l'application de ce système, M. le Préfet prie le Conseil général de l'autoriser à mettre de nouveau en adjudication les imprimés du département pour une période de trois ans, à partir du 1er janvier 1880. Votre Commission d'administration vous propose d'accorder cette autorisation. Le Conseil adopte. M. Groudareau présente enfin le rapport ciaprès : Les habitants du hameau de Croagnes ont demandé, par une pétition, en date du 25 février 1878, que la section de Croagnes, qui dépend actuellement de la commune de StSaturnin fût érigée en commune distincte. Cette demande avait été rejetée par l'Administration supérieure en 1834 et et en 1843 : elle se produit, par conséquent, aujourd'hui pour la troisième fois. Dans l'enquête à laquelle cette demande a été soumise, elle a reçu l'approbation de la presque unanimité des habitants de Croagnes, et elle a été combattue avec la plus grande énergie par les habitants du chef-lieu de la commune : le Conseil municipal, assisté des des plus fort imposés, a conclu au rejet de la demande : la Commission spéciale élue par les habitants de Croagnes a demandé qu'elle fût prise en sérieuse considération. La distance qui sépare les habitations les plus éloignées du chef lieu de la commune est de 10 kilomètres : les pétitionnaires n'invoquent pas, à l'appui de leur demande, des difficultés de communication qui pourraient la justifier, et tous leurs arguments peuvent se résumer en ceci : La mu — 112 — nicipalité dépense la presque totalité des revenus de la commune au profit de Saint-Saturnin, et ne fait â peu près rien pour le hameau de Croagnes. Les ressources de la nouvelle commune sont évaluées par les pétionnaires a la somme de 6,272 fr. 36, et ses dépenses annuelles à 3,146 fr. 62 ; l'excédant des recettes serait, par conséquent, de 3,225 fr. 74. Mais il convient de faire remarquer que l'évaluation des recettes a dû être faite d'une manière fort exagérée ; il résulte, en effet, des renseignements fournis par M. le Directeur des contributions directes et par M. l'Inspecteur des Forêts que les seules recettes afférentes à leur service doivent subir une diminution de 2,000 francs. Les rentes sur l'État de la commune de SaintSaturnin ne s'élèvent pas à la somme de 2,319 francs, mais seulement à 809 fr. : le sixième de ces rentes, qui est revendiqué par les habitants de Croagnes, n'est donc pas de 386 francs 50 mais seulement de 134 fr. 83, c'est donc une nouvelle diminution de 251 fr. 67, dans le chiffre des recettes prévues. L'excédant des recettes ne serait donc plus que de 1,000 francs environ. Cet excédant se trouverait probablement réduit d'une manière plus considérable, et peut-être même transformé en déficit, s'il avait été possible de contrôler exactement toutes les recettes, et si les dépenses n'avaient pas été portées à des chiffres trop peu élevés, Mais il convient de faire ici deux remarques importantes : en l'état, les habitants indigents du hameau de Croagnes ont droit aux secours de l'hospice et du bureau de bienfaisance ;'ils en seraient privés si la création de la nouvelle commune était autorisée. D'autre part, les pétitionnaires prétendent avoir droit au sixième des biens de la commune de SaintSaturnin, et l'administration municipale est décidée â combattre leurs prétentions par tous les moyens possibles. La création de la nouvelle commune donnerait lieu, par conséquent, à des procès longs et onéreux qui, quelle qu'en fût l'issue, imposeraient des charges fort lourdes aux contribuables. En 1878, le Conseil d'arrondissement avait émis un avis favorable à la demande dont il s'agit. — 113 Cette année, cette assemblée émet un avis favorable en principe, mais sous la réserve d'un examen plus complet, par les autorités compétentes, des questions budgétaires et litigieuses qui pourraient résulter de cette création, tant pour la commune de Saint-Saturnin que pour la section demanderesse. 11 résulte de l'avis de M. le Directeur des contributions direcles que la nouvelle commune aurait de la difficulté à suffire a ses besoins. Enfin, M. le Sous-Préfet d'Apt se montre défavorable à la demande dont il s'agit. Après un examen approfondi du dossier, votre Commission d'administration : Considérant que, si le hameau de Croagnes était érigé en commune, ses revenus seraient complètement insuffisants, ainsi qu'il résulte de l'avis de M. le Directeur des contributions directes et de M le Conservateur des forêts ; Est d'avis qu'il n'y a pas lieu d'accueillir la.demande. Attendu, néanmoins, que les griefs soulevés par les habitants de Croagnes contre la commune de Saint-Saturnin ne sont pas dénués de fondement ; Que, notamment surtout, depuis la demande en érection en commune, les habitants de ce hameau n'ont pas joui de tous les avantages auxquels ils pourraient avoir droit ; Émet le voeu que M. le Préfet tienne la main à ce que les habitants de Croagnes soient traités de telle façon qu'ils n'aient plus lieu de se plaindre. M. le Président. — Ces conclusions vont peutêtre un peu loin. Il ne saurait être question, ce me semble, d'apprécier ou de juger les griefs invoqués par les réclamants. Cette question devrait être renvoyée à M. le Préfet. M. Pin— Je m'oppose à la demande des habitants de Croagnes, parce que cette demande est nuisible à leurs intérêts. On vous l'a dit, et c'est vrai, la nouvelle commune ne pourrait pas se suffire. Les chiffres portés dans leur péti8 péti8 — 114 — tion sont erronés. En outre, les habitants de Croagnes ont le droit de pacage dans la forêt de St-Saturnin, et ils usent assez largement de ce droit ; par suite la séparation qu'ils demandent, leur part proportionnelle de la forêt consisterait en un bouquet de bois qui ne leur serait pas d'un grand avantage. Ils se trouveraient ensuite privés de bureau de bienfaisance et d'hospice, et leurs malades indigents seraient exposés à mourir au bord d'un fossé. Les réclamants sont donc entrés dans une mauvaise voie, car il est toujours dangereux de se soustraire à la tutelle de l'État. D'une commune pauvre on ferait deux communes pauvres, si on faisait droit à la demande des des habitants de Croagnes. J'estime donc qu'il y a lieu de rejeter cette -demande. M. le Président. — Je partage cet avis, mais il y a, dans les conclusions soumises au Conseil, deux questions différentes : 1° la question de la séparation ; 2° celle des griefs invoqués par les séparatistes. Sur la première, les conclusions de la Commission peuvent, je crois, être adoptées sans inconvénient. Quant à la seconde, je ne sais s'il convient de se prononcer, M. le Préfet dit en effet dans sans son rapport : « En résumé, il ne me paraît y avoir aucun avantage à « créer une commune nouvelle, et comme les seuls argu« ments de la pétition auxquels il y aurait lieu d'avoir " égard, si les faits relatés sont exacts, concernent la ges« tion administrative de la commune, j'estime qu'il y a lieu « de s'opposer à la demande tendant à la création d'une « nouvelle commune, et de renvoyer à l'autorité supéo rieure l'examen des plaintes formulées par les habitants « de Croagnes contre la municipalité de St-Saturnin. » — 115 — Je crois qu'il conviendrait de se renfermer dans ces limites. M. de Bressy. — La Commission n'a pas déterminé de griefs. L'autorité jugera quels sont ceux qui sont fondés. D'une part, satisfaction est donnée à la commune, de l'autre, promesse est faite aux réclamants que justice leur sera rendue. M. le Préfet avisera. M. Barcilon. — Il eût été plus prudent de ne pas s'expliquer. INous ne sommes pas appelés à juger les griefs invoqués par les habitants de Croagnes. Nous ne sommes pas, en effet, suffisamment instruits sur leur valeur pour pouvoir nous associer au sorte de blâme que la Commission semble infliger à la commune de St-Saturnin. On nous dit : nous voulons donner satisfaction aux réclamants ; c'est justement ce que je ne veux pas faire. Le mieux, ainsi que l'a proposé M. le Président, est de renvoyer à M. le Préfet la solution de cette dernière question. M. Brusque. —■ La Commission se base sur ce fait que, d'après l'avis de M. le Directeur des contributions directes, la nouvelle commune ne pourrait pas se suffire. La Commission syndicale avait donné aux réclamants des chiffres différents de ceux présentés par M. le Directeur, C'est donc une question à examiner à nouveau et je demande le renvoi à la session prochaine de la décision du Conseil général. M. Saint-Martin. — Je présente les mêmes conclusions que mon collègue et ami, M. Brusque. Je ne vous demande pas de repousser complètement les conclusions de la Commission, mais au point de vue de l'impartialité, il y a lieu de renvoyer votre décision à la session — 116 prochaine pour mieux connaître la cause ; si vous devez détruire ce qu'ont fait les experts, le Conseil d'arrondissement dans deux circonstances, le Sous-Préfet d'il y a un an, attendez au moins jusqu'à la session d'aviil et gardezvous, Messieurs, d'une résolution dont le moindre défaut pourrait être une regrettable précipitation. Je présentcai quelques observations pour justifier mes conclusions : Comment peut-on supposer que les pétitionnaires demandent depuis 40 ans leur séparation de la commune mère, sans avoir de griefs considérables, de graves raisons, respectables et solides ? Comment supposer qu'ils obéissent à un simple esprit de mutinerie? Soyons sérieux. Non, ce n'est pas la première fois qu'ils réclament ; ils l'ont fait souvent, et vous savez à quelle date lointaine remonte leur première demande. Il faut donc qu'il y ait quelque chose de juste, de fondé dans leur réclamation. Pourquoi aller si vite quand il s'agit de renverser les espérances vivaces, persistantes, des réclamants? Je crains bien, messieurs, que vous n'ayez subi trop vivement l'influence du rapport de M. le Préfet. Vous avez pensé, après la lecture de ce rapport, que vous n'aviez plus qu'à passer à l'ordre du jour. Mais, à mon sens, il y a bien à redire contre ce rapport, de la première jusqu'à la dernière ligne. M. le Préfet déclare que les pétitionnaires ne se basent pas, dans leur réclamation, sur la question d'éloignement. C'est là une erreur de fait matérielle, car en remontant à l'origine de l'affaire, c'est sur ce point principal que s'appuient les anciennes réclamations, et c'est sur ce point aussi qu'on s'appuie en ce moment ; j'en trouve la preuve — 117 — dans divers passages très-piécis et très-positifs de la pétition qui est au dossier et que je fais passer sous vos yeux. L'argument tiré de la distance y est deux fois reproduit. Transportez-vous par la pensée au milieu de ces campagnes, voyez la pénible situation des habitants d'une seclion aussi éloignée du chef-lieu delà commune; songez aux difficultés désagréables qu'ils éprouvent lorsqu'ils sent obligés de franchir une distance de 10 kilomètres soit pendant les chaleurs iorridesde l'été, soit sous les intempéries de l'hiver, pour aller accomplir, par exemple, les formalités relatives aux actes de l'état civil. Oui, messieurs, ils savent que l'Etat exerce sur les communes une tutelle; mais, en ce qui les concerne, de celle tutelle ils n'ont jamais ressenti les effets bienfaisants, elle n'eut pour eux jamais la moindre efficacité: car, dans la commune de St-Saturnin, ils ne sont à peu près rien, et la section est traitée de telle façon par la commune-mère, qu'elle en est venue à n'avoir plus d'autre aspiration que celle d'être séparée d'elle. Et cela dure depuis quarante ans ; argument que vous élevez contre nous, mais dont je m'empare, en passant, pour prouver la persistance acharnée de notre réclamation à nous, hameau de Croagnes. Quant aux griefs que nous élevons contre la commune, on me répond : si les habitants de Croagnes se plaignent, l'autorité interviendra et remédiera ; j'ai la certitude du contraire, ou du moins je dis qu'il n'y a pas de remède à ces sortes de situation, que l'intervention de l'autorité supérieure sera toujours impuissante et dénuée de sanction. Pourquoi ? Parce que c'est dans une foule de petits riens, ou par des vexations insaisissables qu'an fera aux habitants — 118 — de la section une situation détestable, et vainement ils réclameront une égalité de traitement et de faveurs avec les autres habitants de la commune. Les situations se sentent et ne s'expriment pas. Que si vous dites : Les habitants de Croagnes vont devenir plus malheureux ; leurs charges vont s'accroître et leurs revenus afférents à leur territoire seront insuffisants, je vous réponds: D'abord je pose en fait, tellement ils sont mal partagés aujourd'hui dans les faveurs du sort, qu'ils ne peuvent pas tomber dans une situation pire. Mais permettez-moi de croire le contraire et de discuter, en les réfutant, les chiffres du rapport. — Ici, M. Saint-Martin discute les chiffrer des revenus futurs de la commune à créer et cherche à démontrer que celle-ci aura des revenus suffisants non pour être riche, mais pour vivre. Du reste, ajoute-il, vous avez à juger des appréciations diverses, contraires à celles du rapport : par exemple, celles du Conseil d'arrondissement, auquel vous devez bien cependant reconnaître sa compétence propre et son autorité, et qui, à deux reprises, en 1878 et en 1879, a donné un avis favorable. En 1878, il s'exprimait ainsi : a Considérant que cette section se compose d'environ « 400 habitants et qu'elle possède des revenus suffisants « pour s'administrer ; « Vu la distance relativement considérable qui sépare « la section de Croagnes de son chef-lieu ; « Émet un avis favorable à la demande, etc. En 1879, le Conseil d'arrondissement est moins affirmatif, il a subi, je ne veux pas dire des influences, non, 119 — mais des impressions, et celle fois il émet un avis favorable en principe, mais sous la réserve d'un examen plus complet par les autorités compétentes des questions budgétaires ou litigieuses telles que pourrait les poser l'érection en commune du hameau de Croagnes. Je le répète, le Conseil d'arrondissement a son autorité en cette matière, il a sa compétence et c'est bien le moins qu'en présence de son opinion exprimée, en présence de tant de documents péniblement réunis, en présence de plusieurs expertises faites, vous ne refusiez pas un sursis, celui que je vous demande : car je vous rappelle, messieurs, que mes conclusions ne tendent qu'à ceci : ne pas rejeter aujourd'hui la demande et renvoyer votre décision à la session d'avril, afin que d'ici-là votre religion puisse être plus complètement éclairée. Je vous disais tout à l'heure qu'il ne faut pas exiger que la nouvelle commune soit riche et qu'il suffirait qu'elle pût faire face à ses charges; laissez-moi ajouter qu'aujourd'hui un élément nouveau de produit, et peut-être de prospérité, vient de se révéler pour Croagnes, je veux parler du revenu important de ses truffières; l'extension de cette culture peut lui promettre assurément l'aisance dans un avenir prochain. M. Pin vous a dit enfin que la demande des habitants de Croagnes est contraire à leurs intérêts, à ce point de vue, entre autres,.que, séparés de la commune-mère, les habitants de Croagnes perdraient dès lors le privilège d'être admis, en cas de maladie, à l'hospice de St-Saturnin. Je voudrais bien savoir combien de malades de Croagnes bénéficient, actuellement de ce privilège, com — 120 — bien ces robustes habitants de la campagne envoient, chaque année, de malades à cet hospice? Pas un, peut-être. Et puis, combien de communes en France qui n'ont pas d'hospice de malades ! Croagnes aurait son bureau de bienfaisance et ferait comme Morières, qui a perdu l'hospice d'Avignon, et cela saus que cette petite commune séparée s'en plaigne aujourd'hui beaucoup. Pour toutes ces considérations, je vous demande le renvoi de cette question à la session d'avril, et je vous supplie, Messieurs, de ne pas étouffer aujourd'hui une question si importante en la résolvant prématurément. M. le Préfet. — Je n'ai à présenter que quelques observations, et je serai d'autant moins long que M. SaintMartin a parlé plus longuement. Pour vous demander le rejet de la demande qui nous occupe, j'emploierai les mêmes arguments dont il s'est servi en sa faveur. Ces .arguments se divisent en deux catégories : arguments physiques ou matériels, arguments moraux. Les premiers ont trait à la distance qui sépare la section de Croagnes du chef-lieu delà commune. M, Saint-Martin y donne plus d'importance que ne leur en accordent les pétitionnaires eux-mêmes. Ils ne sauraient donc être pris en considération. Du reste, celte distance qui n'est que de 10 kilomètres n'est pas considérable, et n'entraîne pas les difficultés prévues par la loi pour faire obtenir à ladite section un adjoint spécial. En effet, d'après la loi du 5 mai 1855, lorsque la mer ou quelque autre obstacle rend difficiles, dangereuses ou momentanément impossibles les communications entre un chef-liêu et une fraction de commune, un adjoint spécial, — 121 — pris parmi les habitants de cette fraction, est nommé en sus du nombre ordinaire ; cet adjoint spécial remplit les fonctions d'officier de l'état civil et peut être chargé de l'exécution des lois et règlements de police dans cette partie de la commune. Le hameau de Croagnes ne se trouve pas dans ces conditions et, s'il n'a pas le droit d'avoir un adjoint spécial, encore moins peut-il prétendre à être érigé en commune distincte. D'un autre côté, on ajoute que'les habitants de Croagnes plaident en séparation, pour incompatibilité d'humeur — c'est le mut. —■ Dans ce cas, vous n'êtes pas juges de la question ; le Conseil général n'a pas à examiner si les griefs invoqués sont légitimes; ce rôle appartient à une autre autorité. Je conclus donc au rejet pur et simple de la demande dont il s'agit. Quant au renvoi de l'affaire à une autre session, renvoi demandé par M. Saint-Martin, il ne me paraît pas qu'il y ail lieu de le décider, ' M. Sainl-Martin l'a avoué, il y a 30 ou 40 ans que les habitants de Croagnes réclament leur séparation. Il est bien temps de se prononcer, afin de ne pas éterniser des haines et des hostilités. Les griefs des habitants de Croagnes, que, je le répète, vous n'avez pas à juger, proviennent, sans doute, de ce qu'ils plaident depuis si longtemps. Quand ils sauront qu'il leur faut renoncera leur séparation, la bonne intelligence régnera certainement. — 122 — M. le Président déclarant la question épuisée, met d'abord aux voix la demande d'ajournement présentée par M. Saint-Martin. L'ajournement est rejeté. Avant de mettre aux voix les conclusions de la Commission d'administration, M. le Président demande à M. le Rapporteur s'il consent à en supprimer la deuxième partie, ayant trait aux griefs signalés. M. Gl-oudareau adhère à cette proposition. Les conclusions de la Commission, ainsi modifiées, sont ensuite adoptées. L'ordre du jour appelle l'examen des dossiers relatifs aux routes départementales. M. l'Ingénieur en chef assiste à la séance. M. !M!orard, au nom de la Commission des travaux publics, présente le rapport suivant : En 1866, lors de la construction de la route départementale n° 4, entre l'oratoire Saint-Michel et Malaucène, MM. les Ingénieurs firent établir sur les accotements de cette route des perrés sur les talus en remblai, afin d'empêcher le glissement des terres. Ces perrés se sont disloqués au fur et à mesure du tassement des remblais qui s'est d'ailleurs effectué très-lentement en raison de la nature argileuse des terrains et de la grande hauteur des remblais. Ils ne présentent plus aujourd'hui aucune solidité, et il pourrait se produire d'un moment à l'autre un glissement de terrains qui aurait pour effet de couper la route et, par conséquent, d'interrompre les communications entre les cantons du Buis et de Malaucène et la ville de Carpentras. Il est urgent de procéder le plus tôt possible au remaniement et à la consolidation de ces'perrés ainsi que des banquettes de sûreté qui les surmontent. MM. les lngénieurs 123 — ont dressé le projet des travaux dont l'exécution doit donner lieu à une dépense de 7.500 fr. Votre Commission vous propose d'approuver ce projet. Le Conseil adopte. M. Meynard (Henri) fait l'exposé suivant : La route départementale n° 4 du pont de Bonpas à celui du Toulourenc a été tellement dégradée par les pluies persistantes de l'hiver dernier qu'il est devenu impossible de la réparer avec les ressources ordinaires de l'entretien. Les sondages qui ont été effectués sur cette route ont démontré que sur une longueur de 4,300 mètres environ, a partir de la borne kilométrique n° 1, la route est totalement dépourvue d'empierrement en bien des points, et que là où elle en est encore pourvue, la couche de pierres varie entre 0™.02 et 0m.06. Si l'on tient compte, en outre, de cette double cil-constance que la route n'est pas en relief sur les terres voisines, qu'elle est assise sur un terrain très-meuble, on est obligé de reconnaître qu'il est très-urgent d'exécuter des grosses réparations qui assurent la viabilité de la voie. Le montant des travaux à exécuter dans ce but s'élève, d'après les évaluations de MM. les Ingénieurs, a la somme de 13,200 fr., savoir: Fourniture de 2.130 mètres cubes de pierre cassées à raison de 4 fr. 60 le mètre cube 9.798 » Somme à valoir pour cylindrage des matériaux d'empierrement et règlement des accotements . 3.402 » Total égal. .... 13.200 » ■ i Ce projet est soumis à l'approbation du Conseil général, en exécution de l'article 4 de la loi du 10 août 1871. Votre Commission des travaux publics vous propose de l'approuver. Le Conseil adopte. M. Roustan donne lecture du rapport suivant : Depuis la construction du chemin de fer des Alpes, la — 124 — commune de Pertuis a fait établir, entre le cours de la République et l'avenue de la gare, une voie de communication qui présente des rampes moins raides que celles qui existent sur la route départementale n° 12, aux abords de la ville do Pertuis. Aussi les omnibus qui desservent la gare et une partie du roulage abandonnent la route départementale pour suivre, de préférence, le nouveau chemin et le cours jusqu'au pont de rencontre de la route n° 3. Cette augmentation de circulation occasionne tout naturellement une augmentation dans les dépenses d'entretien du chemin communal, et le Conseil municipal cle Pertuis a demandé la rectification de la route départementale n° 12 dans la partie correspondante au cours de la République ou une subvention du département pour l'entretien de cette promenade publique. Il n'est évidemment pas possible d'admettre la prétention de faire supporter au département une dépense afférente à un chemin dépendant de la voirie urbaine -, mais on peut opérer la rectification sollicitée, sans imposer une charge bien lourde au budget départemental, tout en donnant à la nouvelle route une rampe égale a celle du chemin qui conduit de l'avenue de la gare au cours de la République. Comme cette rectification n'a pas été prévue dans la statistique dressée, en 1870, des travaux restant à faire pour l'achèvement des routes départementales, le Conseil général est appelé à délibérer, avant que les études soient commencées par MM. les Ingénieurs. Si le Conseil général autorise ces études, le projet de rectification lui sera soumis dans une session ultérieure, et il aura à faire connaître à ce moment, s'il en approuve les dispositions, et à voter les ressources à affecter à son exécution. Votre Commission des travaux publics vous propose d'autoriser MM. les Ingénieurs à dresser le projet dont il s'aM. s'aM. recommande cette affaire à la bienveillance du Conseil. — 125 Le Conseil général adopte les conclusions du rapport qui précède. M. Morard exprime le regret que les études et les plans se rapportant aux rectifications des rampes de Sault, dont le tour de priorité est déjà arrivé depuis assez longtemps, ne figurent pas parmi les dossiers soumis à l'approbation du Conseil général. M. l'Ingénieur en chef lui ayant fait connaître que ce relard était imputable seulement à des travaux survenus depuis et pendant les études, et ayant affirmé que ce projet devait recevoir sa solution à la prochaine session du Conseil, M. Morard prie le Conseil général d'accepter, dans le procès-verbal, la demande formelle de la présentation de ce projet dans la session d'avril. Il signale aussi l'urgence de faire étudier s'il ne serait pas possible, sans travaux extraordinaires, sur la route n° 2, de modifier la déclivité de la pente connue sous le nom de brèche, à la sortie de Sault ; cette pente offrant des dangers sérieux que des accidents fréquents suffisent, du reste, à signaler. Le Conseil donne acte de cette demande. M. Morard ajoute que, puisqu'il est question de routes, il ne veut pas laisser échapper l'occasion de demander au Conseil de voter les fonds nécessaires pour l'établissement de chasse-neige sur la route de Sault, afin de pouvoir rétablir les communications souvent interrompues en hiver. Le Conseil donne acte également de cette demande à M. Morard et prie M. l'Ingénieur en chef de prélever cette dépense sur les fonds d'entretien. — 126 — M. Morard présente ensuite le rapport ci-après : Le Conseil général avait cédé à la commune de Valréas, par une délibération en date du 24 avril 1876, deux délaissés de la route départementale n° 9, à la condition expresse qu'ils seraient conservés à la circulation comme chemins ruraux. L'un de ces délaissés est évidemment inutile, au service de la voirie puisque le Conseil municipal de Valréas a sollicité l'autorisation de le vendre au profit de la commune. M. le Préfet n'a pas cru devoir accorder l'autorisation sollicitée sans en avoir référé au Conseil général. Votre Commission vous propose de maintenir la cession dont il s'agit. M. le Préfet fait remarquer qu'il est de principe qu'un délaissé cédé par le département à une commune revient au département quand il ne remplit plus l'objet de la cession. M. Meynard (Henri). — Je partage l'avis de la Commission. Le délaissé de la route départementale n° 9, que désire vendre la commune de Valréas, n'a jamais été cédé à la ville de Valréas avec la condition de le classer comme chemin rural. Je ne sais même pas s'il lui a été cédé à un titre quelconque. La partie de la route départementale n° 9 qui était restée chemin rural n'est pas la même que celle que demande de vendre la commune de Valréas. Les conclusions du rapport de M. Morard sont adoptées. Le même rapporteur expose : Par une délibération de principe, en date du 28 août 1867, le Conseil général a autorisé la vente, aux propriétaires riverains, des parties des routes départementales qui devien — 127 — draient inutiles au service de la voirie, à la condition toutefois que le prix en serait préalablement fixé par MM. les Ingénieurs des ponts-et-chaussées chargés du service des routes, et que les actes de vente seraient ensuite soumis a la ratification du Conseil. M. le Préfet soumet au Conseil, en exécution de cette délibération : 1° Un acte de vente d'un délaissé de la route n° 9 bis, cédé au sieur Mazen Achille, au prix de 44 fr. 96. 2" Un acte de vente d'un délaissé de la route n° 4, cédé au sieur Durand, Pierre-Maurice, au prix de 8 fr. 33. Votre Commission vous propose de prononcer la ratification de ces actes. i Le Conseil adopte. Le même rapporteur donne enfin lecture du rapport suivant : Le Conseil général avait sollicité dans sa séance du 28 août 1873, la modification partielle des plans d'alignement delà route départementale n° 4, dans la traverse de Pernes. M. le Ministre des Travaux publics, saisi de cette demande, en autorisa l'instruction et une enquête fut ouverte sur les nouveaux alignements proposés par MM. les Ingénieurs des ponts et chaussées, en vue de donner satisfaction au voeu exprimé par le Conseil général. L'enquête qui a eu lieu â ce sujet dans la commune de Pernes a donné des résultats favorables, mais le Conseil municipal et la Commission d'enquête, tout en se prononçant pour l'adoption du nouveau tracé qui donne une largeur un peu plus grande a la route, ont émis le voeu que les alignements fussent reportés encore en arrière de la nouvelle ligne proposée par MM. les Ingénieurs. En résumé, trois tracés ont été successivement demandés ; le premier indiqué par un trait rose sur le plan déposé sur le bureau du Conseil général, avait été approuvé par décret du 24 avril 1873, mais le Conseil a demandé qu'il fût abandonné et remplacé par un second tracé indiqué par une ligne bleue. L'instruction — 128 — qui vient d'avoir lieu au sujet de l'adoption définitive de ce deuxième tracé a donné des résultats favorables; mais le Conseil municipal de Pernes et la Commission d'enquête ont manifesté leurs préférences pour un troisième alignement marqué au crayon sur le plan qui a été soumis à l'enquête. Avant de transmettre le dossier de cette affaire à M. le Ministre des Travaux publics et de lui demander d'arrêter définitivement les nouveaux alignements de la route départementale n» 4, dans la traverse de Pernes, M. le Préfet a pensé qu'il convenait de prendre l'avis du Conseil général dans cette question. Votre Commission, après avoir étudié le dossier, vous propose les conclusions suivantes : « Le Conseil général, « Voulant donner satisfaction aux désirs exprimés par le Conseil municipal de Pernes, dans sa délibération du 5 juin 1879, et prendre en considération les conclusions de la Commission d'enquête ; « Approuve le tracé bleu 18, 20, 22, et émet le voeu que M. le Ministre puisse adopter, sans nouveau retard apporté par une nouvelle instruction, les modifications indiquées sur le plan par les lignes A, B, D, C, D, E, F. » Ces conclusions sont adoptées. M. Prizet signale l'urgence du projet dont il s'agit, et il espère que M. le Ministre voudra donner au plus tôt satisfaction à la commune de Pernes. M. Roustan, au nom de la même Commission des travaux publics, présente le rapport ci-après : M. le Préfet a soumis au Conseil général un projet de grosses réparations à faire sur la route départementale n° 22. La dépense en est évaluée à la somme de 3,600 francs, dont 2,800 francs pour fourniture de matériaux, et 800 fr. pour emploi et cylindrage des matériaux d'empierrement. MM. les Ingénieurs ont fait connaître que ce projet devra — 129 — être exécuté dans le plus bref délai, pour assurer la viabilité de cette route qui est gravement compromise aar une longueur de 4,400 mètres. Votre Commission, ajoute M. Roustan, vous propose d'approuver le projet dont il s'agit. Le Conseil adopte. La séance est ensuite suspendue pendant un quart d'heure. À la reprise de la séance, le Conseil passe à l'examen du Sous-Chapitre XIII, et vote d'abord les articles 1 à 4, qui ne donnent lieu à aucune observation. h. l'occasion de l'article 5, M. Blanc, rapporteur de la Commission des finances, donne lecture du passage suivant du rapport de M. le Préfet : « M. André, employé dans les bureaux de la Préfecture « et spécialement chargé du service de la presse autogra« fique, a été admis, sur sa demande, à faire valoir ses « droits à la retraite pour cause d'infirmités, à partir du 15 « juillet dernier. Quelques jours après il mourrait, laissant « une veuve et trois jeunes enfants. Je crois, en toute sin« cérité, qu'il a contracté sa maladie dans l'exercice de ses « fonctions, et sa veuve me paraît, à ce titre, particulière« ment mériter la bienveillance du Conseil général. « M. André comptait, au 15 juillet 1879, 19 ans 3 mois 21 « jours de services non interrompus. Sa retraite aurait donc « été liquidée do la manière suivante : « Un 6e du traitement moyen de 1,756 fr. 9't, « dont il a joui pour 18 ans de services, soit. ... 292 82 « Un 60° de ce traitement pour 9 ans 3 mois et 21 « jours de services, ci 272 40 « Total 565 22 « Mme André a droit au tiers de cette somme (décret du « 15 décembre 1860) soit 188 40 9 150 — « Et à un cinquième de cette même somme pour « chacun des trois enfants au-dessous de 15 ans, « laissés à sa charge, ci 84 78 « Total 273 18 « Je prie le Conseil général de liquider, à ce chiffre, la « pension de Mme veuve André et de vouloir bien, en rai« son des bons services de son mari et de ses charges de « famille lui accorder un secours de 300 fr. » Votre Commission des finances, ajoute M. le Rapporteur, vous propose d'arrêter à la somme de 273 francs le montant de la pension de Mme veuve André et de lui allouer, en outre, un secours temporaire de 300 francs, qui sera inscrit à l'article 5 du Sous-Chapitre XIII. Le Conseil adopte cette double proposition et vote l'article 5. M. Portunet, rapporteur de la même Commission, fait l'exposé ci-après : La caisse de retraite des employés départementaux présente la situation suivante, savoir : Rentes 3 0/0 possédées par la caisse 5.600 » Solde créditeur du compte au 31 décembre 1878 7.911 50 Produit des retenues exercées ou à exercer sur l'exercice 1879, environ 6.000 » Total des ressources 19.511 50 Montant des pensions de retraites déjà inscri tes 26.661 50 Montant des demandes en liquida 30.511 50 tion présentées, cette année, au Coni seil général 3.850 » ' Déficit 11.000 » Votre Commission vous propose, en conséquence, ajoute M le Rapporteur, de voter, en faveur de cette caisse, une — 151 — subvention égale au déficit constaté, soit 11,000 francs. Cette somme sera inscrite a l'article 6 du Sous-Chapitre XIII du budget de 1880. Le Conseil adopte. L'article 7 est ensuite voté par le Conseil. Au sujet de l'article 8 intitulé : <t Gratification pour belles actions, » M. Saint-Martin fait remarquer qu'il y aurait lieu, à son avis, de supprimer la somme de 100 francs portée à cet article. Ne vous étonnez pas si je demande la suppression de notre budget d'un crédit si bien libellé, mais qui demeure, le plus souvent sans emploi. D'ailleurs, les personnes dévouées qui accomplissent des actes de courage sont beaucoup plus flattées, beaucoup plus satisfaites d'obtenir une récompense honorifique, .une médaille, par exemple, que de recevoir une somme quelconque ; et puis, avouez-le, qu'est-ce donc que 25 francs, 50 francs, 100 francs même pour un homme généreux qui a exposé sa vie afin de sauver celle des autres ? Il vaut mieux, en conséquence, laisser tomber dans les fonds disponibles le crédit dont il s'agit. M. Portunet répond que la Commission des finances était de cet avis. M. le Président consulte le Conseil, qui vote la suppression du crédit relatif aux belles actions. Sur la proposition de M. Portunet, rapporteur de la Commission des finances, le Conseil réduit de 5,000 francs à 4,000 francs le crédit porté à l'article concernant les dépenses de la Commission départementale. — 152 — Le Sous-Chapitre XIII est ensuite arrêté ainsi qu'il suit : SOUS-CHAPITRE XIII Dépenses diverses ART. 1" Dépenses du Conseil de salubrité 500 » 2 Mesures contre les épidémies, (Circulaire du 13 avril 1835) 300 » 3 Avances pour travaux d'intérêt public à la charge des particuliers.

(Loi du 10 août 1371 art 63, § 3) 2.888 25 TOTAL du Sous-Chapitre XIII 36.988 25 M. Blanc présente le rapport suivant, au nom de la Commission des finances : — 155 — Dans son projet de budget, M. le Préfet a porté, au SousChapitre XIV, deux crédits destinés au paiement de dettes départementales, savoir : un crédit do 328 francs 40 cent, pour frais de traitement d'un malade indigent de la commune de Brantes à l'hospice de Malaucène en J878, et un autre crédit de 130 francs 50 pour frais de. transport de voyageurs indigents de 1877 à 1878. Votre Commission a examiné les mémoires justificatifs de ces dépenses, et elle est d'avis qu'il y a lieu d'émettre un vote conforme aux propositions de M. le Préfet. Mais, outre ces deux dettes, nous en avons d'autres qu'il convient d'inscrire au Sous-Chapitre XIV du budget de 1880. Et d'abord, M. le docteur Desplans, médecin-vaccinateur cantonal à Baumes, n'a pu toucher encore l'indemnité de 100 francs qui lui est due pour le service de la vaccine en 1878. Cette somme est tombée dans les fonds libres de 1878 ; il y a donc lieu de la voter a nouveau au budget de 1880. Ensuite, la Sous-Préfecture d'Orange n'a pas produit, en temps opportun, le mémoire justificatif de l'emploi des 50 francs inscrits au budget de 1878 pour l'entretien du jardin; cette somme est encore due. Votre Commission est d'avis de la porter au Sous-Chapitre XIV. En outre, â la session d'avril dernier, nous avons décidé, comme vous le savez, qu'à partir du 1er janvier de l'année courante, le taux de la bourse pour les élèves-maîtresses de Vaucluse à l'École normale d'Aix serait élevé à 450 francs, et nous avons voté, en principe, une somme de 400 francs destinée a faire face à cette dépense supplémentaire pour l'exercice courant, sauf a revenir ultérieurement au chiffre de 4,100 francs au moyen du fractionnement des bourses. Cette somme de 400 francs, n'ayant pas trouvé place au budget rectificatif do 1879, no saurait être mieux placée qu'au Sous-Chapitre XIV du budget primitif de 1880. De plus, M. Molière, marchand-tailleur à Avignon, réclame le paiement d'une livrée qu'il a faite, on février dernier, sur la demande de M. Spuller, pour le concierge de l'Hôtel de la Préfecture. La facture est de 100 francs, et vo-' — 154 — tre Commission vous propose d'inscrire un crédit de pareille somme au Sous Chapitre dont il s'agit. Enfin, il est une dernière dette qu'il y aura lieu de faire figurer également au Sous-Chapitre XIV. En 1878, deux malades indigents ont été envoyés, aux frais du département, à l'établissement de Vais. Contrairement aux prescriptions de l'arrêté préfectoral qui fixait à 15 jours la durée du traitement, ces malades ont été retenus, l'un 20 jours 2/3 et l'autre 22 jours. Il en est résulté un excédant de dépense que l'administration préfectorale a d'abord refusé de payer. Mais, sur les instances de M. Vaschalde, directeur de l'établissement, elle a consenti à soumettre au Conseil une demande en paiement d'une partie de cette somme, soit 33 francs. Votre Commission vous propose d'allouer les fonds nécessaires pour le paiement de ces 33 francs. Ces quatre dettes, jointes à celles qui figuraient déjà, au nombre de deux, dans les propositions budgétaires de M. le Préfet, porteront au chiffre de 1,141 fr. 90 c le total de notre Sous-Chapitre XIV. M. Millet fait remarquer, à l'occasion des deux malades dont il vient d'êlre parlé, combien il serait utile, à l'avenir, .de faire indiquer, sur les certificats délivrés par les médecins, le nombre de jours pendant lesquels ceuxci jugeraient nécessaire de laisser chaque malade dans les établissements thermaux ou autres. Celle durée réglementaire de 15 jours est loin d'êlre suffisante pour certaines maladies, par exemple, pour les maladies chroniques, ou pour celles qui exigent les bains de mer ; dans bien des cas, les avantages que les malades ont trouvés pour leur santé dans l'usage des eaux, deviennent complètement nuls, par suite d'un départ prématuré. Il faudrait donc laisser une certaine latitude à cet égard et fixer, suivant les maladies, un délai plus long que celui de quinze • jours. — 155 — Sous le bénéfice de ces observations, le Conseil adople les conclusions présentées par M. Blanc et arrête le SousChapitre XIV de la manière suivante : SOUS-CHAPITRE XIV Dettes Départementales. ABT. 1er Frais de traitement d'un malade indigent de la commune de Brantes à l'hospice de Malaucène en 187S. 328 40 2. Frais de transport de voyageurs indigents de 1877 à 1878 130 50 3. Indemnité due en 1878 pour le cervice de la vaccine. 100 >> 4. Entretien du jardin delà Sous-Préfecture d'Orange en 1878 50 » 5..Entretien en 1879, à l'Ecole normale de filles d'Aix, d'élèves boursières de Vaucluse 400 » 6. Fourniture d'une livrée faite en 1879 pour le concierge concierge l'hôtel de la Préfecture 100 » 7. Frais de traitement de malades indigents en 1878 à l'établissement de Vais 33 » TOTAL du Sous-Chapitre XIV. .. 1.14190 Le Conseil arrive à l'examen du Sous-Chapitre XV et vote d'abord les articles 1 et 2 du § 1er. Au sujet de l'article 5, relatif à l'entretien de bourses dans le Lycée d'Avignon, M. Saint-Martin expose qu'il y a lieu d'augmenter le crédit porté à cet article el de l'élever de 5,850 à 4,875. Vous savez, Messieurs, ajoute M. Saint-Martin, que nous avons un nombre déterminé et limité de boursiers, qui nous est imposé par les décrets des 18 décembre 1858 et 51 décembre 1876 ; ces décrets ont fixé la quantité., la nature et le prix de chacune des bourses, de sorle que nous ne pouvons faire, malgré les besoins qui peuvent se produire, aucune augmentation, aucun fractionnement, aucune répartition contraire à ces décrets. Mais il est entendu que — 156 — la décision que je vous demande de rendre serait subordonnée à un décret nouveau,, et il est cerlain que le gouvernement ne nous refuserait pas ce décret. Actuellement, notre crédit de 5,850 fr. se décompose invariablement de la manière suivante : Une bourse entière ; Deux trois quarts de bourse , Cinq demi-bourses ; Soit, en tout, 8 bourses ou fractions de bourses. Deux de ces bourses seulement se trouvent actuellement vacantes, à savoir : 1° trois quarts de bourse ; 2° une demi-beurse. Nous sommes cependant en présence de plusieurs candidats qui ent obtenu au concours réglementaire lenombre des points voulus pour qu'ils soient admissibles au bénéfice d'une bourse et dont la situation de famille est, au même titre, digne d'intérêt. De plus, outre les demandes en obtention produites en faveur de ces nouveaux élèves, il y a deux demandes en promotion formées par les jeunes Guillermet et Vigne, déjà titulaires, le premier de 5/4 de bourse, et le second d'une demi-bourse. Avec le crédit actuel, il nous serait impossible de faire droit à toutes ces demandes. Et cependan! les candidats qui s'adressent à nous inspirent tous notre bienveillante sollicitude, et pour me borner aux deux élèves qui sollicitent une promotion, il serait, je puis le dire, profondément regrettable de ne rien faire pour eux. | common_corpus | {'identifier': 'bpt6k61325048_16', 'collection': 'French-PD-Newspapers', 'open_type': 'Open Culture', 'license': 'Public Domain', 'date': '', 'title': 'Procès-verbal des séances du Conseil général : session de ...', 'creator': 'None', 'language': 'French', 'language_type': 'Spoken', 'word_count': '7516', 'token_count': '10939', '__index_level_0__': '49757', 'original_id': 'c04fe043fba979fdf2c891900c5aa39c8e12d75521b5a0d382488788bc9c4f11'} |

Q:
STP blocking port selection
I want to make sure I'm understanding how this works. Specifically the term "Sending Port ID" has me very confused.
Consider this diagram, I want to make sure I have root port selection figured out:
The switch on top is the root and all settings are at the defaults.
Both of SW2's ports connected to SW3 are designed because it has the lowest path cost to the root (its the only path to the root).
Here is what I'm unsure of: SW3's 0/4 is the Root Port because the Sending Port ID of 0/1 wins over 0/2
Is this correct? The Port IDs of SW3 have no bearing in the selection it is only the Sending Port ID's of SW2 that matter right?
A:
you need to understand the next
Spanning-Tree Port Roles
- Root Port (RP) - It is a port on a non-root switch, which is the shortest (the best) path towards the root bridge. (i.e. port 0/4 0/3 in SW3)
- Designated Port (DP) - It is a port that is in the forwarding state. (i.e. port 0/1 0/2 SW2)
- Non-Designated Port (NDP) - It is a port that is in a blocking state in the STP topology.
so your question is about which port in SW3 will be selected as Root Port
As soon as the root has been elected, all non-root switches begin to calculate which port is the best (the least cost) towards the root bridge. This port will be called the root port.
What if the Root Cost Path is identical?
Prefer the lowest Root Path Cost.
In case of the same Root Path Cost, prefer the lowest Bridge ID of the designated switch (the neighbor that sends BPDUs).
In case of receiving BPDUs on multiple ports from the same designated switch (BPDU sender), prefer the lowest Port ID (known also as port priority) of the sender. That parameter has a default value 128 and is configurable.
In case of all above are did not resolve the problem, prefer the lowest Port ID of the BPDU sender.
so answer of your question (SW3's 0/4 is the Root Port because the Sending Port ID of 0/1 wins over 0/2)is YES
please make use of this very usful linke STP
A:
Some corrections to the above answer. Port-id and port-priority are different. One is configurable. The other is internally set. I'll make an attempt to answer your question below.
There has to be just 1 root port per switch. By definition , this is the port with the lowest path-cost to root.
A path-cost is the sum of all port-costs along a given path. And
port-cost is set by the speed of the link connected to a given
port.
Now lets look at your diagram. SW3 has 2 paths to the root, and both go through SW2. Assuming that both the links out of SW3 are the same speed, the port-cost is identical. So the path cost is the same out of both its ports. Now we need a tie-breaker, cuz we can have only 1 root port.
By default, STP uses the bridge-id of neighboring switch to break the tie. But since the neighboring switch is the same switch here (SW2), STP next uses port-priority of the neighboring switch to break the tie. This is something that can be manually configured. But lets say that in your case, its at default, and therefore at the same setting on both switches. So STP falls to something that has to be unique. And this final fallback is the internal port-id. This is not the same as the interface number (0/1,0/2..) but is an integer that is mapped to the interface number internally. And usually lower interface numbers, are mapped to lower ordered port-ids.

The “Ten Year Rule” for becoming an expert
Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap explain in Deep Smarts: How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom (Harv. Bus. School 2005, pg. 49) that “most evidence suggests that it takes at least ten years of concentrated study and practice to become an expert (as opposed to merely competent).”
Assuming the Ten Year Rule holds for lawyers, and assuming three years of law school starts the clock, and further assuming a typical lawyer stays in one specialty area of law, then around seven years out of law school they can be considered an expert.
Having assumed all that, when does an insider have time to overlay substantive expertise with in-house savvy, which has to do with client relations, knowledge of the business, and political finesse within a corporate structure? The answer is often that deep legal expertise remains with outside counsel, whereas the lawyer hiring that outside counsel needs less substantive expertise and more generalized skills.

1. Christian Liipfert says:
Not sure I’d start the ten-year clock running when the associate entered law school. And unless the practice after entering a firm or department was solely in a concentrated area, not sure ten years out is the right measure. Rather, it’s ten years of relevant experience.
A master cobbler takes more than ten years to become a master in bootmaking if 25% of the first five years is making handbags, not boots. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.956843078136444}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '40775', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:XCE5V54GN665WN2MYBOCZPC25OVB5P6B', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:4ede5274-5ecd-46cb-9a0c-f7cad76f5ec7>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 6, 22, 19, 42, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '52.85.131.107', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:KEZ457BHBOMFN3MRH6IOW5RLYSWL4HOW', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:393aaf1c-8017-48b7-a675-d081699a20b9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.lawdepartmentmanagementblog.com/the_ten_year_ru/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:fb4b1595-b609-46f3-9464-44e91e800fbc>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '251', 'url': 'https://www.lawdepartmentmanagementblog.com/the_ten_year_ru/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-25\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for June 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-217.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.020654678344726562', 'original_id': '24d3d0aba529b73c8aeab5b20a7b04ef836249f5cf2e8e10ea4d20c6a71297f0'} |

Video: Gregory: Obama’s speech ‘seized’ the moment
Transcript of: Gregory: Obama’s speech ‘seized’ the moment
GEIST:Could be
the end of the road
.
NBC
's
Chuck Todd
,
thank you very much
.
David Gregory
is moderator of "
Meet The Press
."
David
, good morning.
DAVID GREGORY reporting:Hey, Willie.
GEIST:President Obama
had a difficult task the other night in
Tucson
of comforting the people of that city, and indeed of the country. But also he tried to calm the
political debate
. How did he do on both counts,
David
?
GREGORY:Well, I think by all accounts he did very well. You hear compliments for him on both the left and the right, everyone across the
political spectrum
. And
Chuck
alluded to it. I mean, he did two things, which is to give voice to what people around the country have been feeling. This is something that affects people and families whether you knew the victims or not very deeply. And second, I think he took the country to a place that it didn't even know that it needed to go, talking about words that heal, not words that wound. Talking about being as big as this moment requires in our
political life
, in our
political discourse
around the country. So I think it was a moment that all agreed that he seized and kind of charts a path for where
Washington
and frankly the rest of the country can go.
GEIST:David
, I think we all agree civility's a worthy goal, but as
Chuck
just said in his piece it is back to business. The
Republican House
takes up the repeal of
President Obama
's signature
health care reform
law. Why should this time be any different? Why will the conversation change?
GREGORY:Look, I -- you know, cynicism is warranted, this is
Washington
after all. I think
Washington
can do a great job elevating moments like this to become a national moment of reflection, but
Washington
is also really capable of wasting these moments as well. If there's some hope, as it were, in the middle of a time here and now leading up to the
State of the Union address
where this spirit can be tapped into again, as
Chuck
alluded to, the president will do it again in the
State of the Union
and talk that way. We are about to have another
health care
debate. It doesn't have to be the way it was. There are even moves by Senator
Tom Udall
of
Colorado
during the
State of the Union
to have both parties sit together instead of sitting apart. I mean, these are small gestures, but ultimately it's about how the debate moves forward. We're going to have big debates about the role of government in our lives, government spending,
health care
and the like. It's a question of do people really want to make that turn?
GEIST:And of course,
David
,
Sarah Palin
has been right in the middle of this conversation, even linked by some of her critics to the shooting because of some of her rhetoric. There was, of course, no evidence for that at all. Now getting some criticism for that
Facebook
statement she put out on the same day of the memorial. What is the long-term impact,
David
, on her political brand?
GREGORY:You know, it's so difficult to gauge that because we don't know where she's headed politically other than being a really big political star, really. You know, everybody talks in terms of a potential run for the presidency for her. We just don't know if that's where she's headed. We just know at the moment she has huge political impact. I think the criticism of
Sarah Palin
would be that she made it more about her than it needed to be. That she was speaking to perhaps a narrow band of supporters who wanted to settle scores here after being linked to all of this in a way that was not supported by any evidence. That she didn't take an opportunity to go bigger as the president did and talk about this political moment that we're in independent of what happened in
Tucson
in terms of how we talk to one another. So I think that's a criticism that will carry with her. And, look, she has carried for a long time this ability -- or this question about whether she can step outside that narrow band of supporters and reach a wider audience.
GEIST:And,
David
, I imagine these will be among the topics of conversation on Sunday's "
Meet the Press
."
GREGORY:No question about it,
Willie
. We have a special roundtable dedicated to these questions about our
political discourse
moving forward.
Martin Luther King
's birthday.
Al Sharpton
will join our roundtable,
Tim Shriver
as well. But we'll begin with the program, with the debate about
Washington
, the debate over gun control. Senators
Schumer
and
Coburn
join me for that discussion.
TUCSON, Ariz. — President Barack Obama mourned victims of the Tucson shooting spree Wednesday and urged Americans not to let a political debate over the tragedy be used as "one more occasion to turn on one another."
In a speech at a service for those killed in a weekend massacre that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords gravely wounded, the president appealed for national unity and soul-searching after the shootings. He urged Americans to "expand our moral imaginations" and "sharpen our instincts for empathy" — even with those who are political adversaries.
"I believe we can be better," Obama said to a capacity crowd at the University of Arizona basketball arena — and to countless others watching across America. "Those who died here, those who saved lives here — they help me believe. We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us."
Six people were killed and 13 wounded in the massacre. Police allege 22-year-old Jared Lee Loughner shot Giffords and many in the line of people waiting to talk with her during a constituent event outside a Safeway store.
Obama referred to the Tucson gunman, although not by name. "None of us can know exactly what triggered this vicious attack," the president said. "None of us can know with any certainty what might have stopped these shots from being fired or what thoughts lurked in the inner recesses of a violent man's mind."
The attack sparked a vehement debate over whether the country's heated political discourse had contributed to the shooting.
Using the massacre to address the nation's spiritual state, the president decried the small-minded nature of political debate. "If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate, as it should, let's make sure it's worthy of those we have lost," he said in a speech that was frequently interrupted by applause and cheers from the audience.
"Let's make sure it's not on the usual plane of politics and point scoring and pettiness that drifts away in the next news cycle."
At a time when "we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do," Obama said, the killings should make Americans ask themselves "Have we shown enough kindness and generosity and compassion to people in our lives?"

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords has opened her eyes and signaled he could see, President Barack Obama said.
Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, was drawn into the national debate after the shootings. Last March, Giffords noted in a TV interview that Palin's political committee had targeted her district — among others — with crosshairs on her website and said "there are consequences to that action."
On Wednesday, Palin posted a video online in which she defended her actions and rebuked the news media and her critics.
'Powerful and uplifting'Newspapers on the left and right of the political spectrum praised the president for his speech.
A New York Times editorial called it "one of his most powerful and uplifting speeches." Mr. Obama said that it must be possible for Americans to question each other’s ideas without questioning their love of country," added the newspaper, known for its liberal opinion page. We hope all of America's leaders, and all Americans, will take that to heart."
Peggy Noonan, who was a speechwriter to Ronald Reagan, described the address as "full spirited." She told MSNBC's 'Morning Joe that Obama said what he needed to say. "In the days since the shooting in Arizona, a lot of people went straight down into the muck and started wrestling there. He didn't go there."
"Gabby opened her eyes," Obama said to a loud cheer from the audience on the University of Arizona campus, adding that the congresswoman "knows we are here." Although the president wasn't in the room at the moment Giffords' eyes opened, he said her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, had given him permission to break the news.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, three of Giffords' close female friends in Congress, were in the hospital room at that time.
Also on Wednesday, Pima Community College in Tucson has released records of its campus police contacts with Loughner, showing the increasing fear that he stirred in his classmates and teachers.
A thread running through the documents is the difficulty of campus police to find a context in which to intervene: Until they found a violation of the student code of conduct, or a state law, police officers wrote in the reports that they weren't sure what else they could do, even when a fellow student said she thought Loughner had brought a knife to class.
The records show no indication that the college took steps to get Loughner any mental health counseling.
Loughner also seemed not to understand the seriousness of the fears. When police spoke with him, Loughner said his free speech rights were being violated, and seemed to have trouble understanding why he had been called out of class.
Meanwhile in Washington, D.C., authorities stepped-up security around lawmakers in the wake of the shooting.

Changes in cytosolic CA2+ are not involved in DDT-induced loss of gap junctional communication in WB-F344 cells.
Recent studies have demonstrated that the insecticide DDT is a tumor promoting agent. Similar to many other tumor promoting agents, DDT has been shown to inhibit gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) between cells in culture, and it has been suggested that DDT-induced loss of communication between adjacent cells may depend on changes in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration [( Ca2+]i). In the present study, the role of [Ca2+]i in DDT-induced loss of GJIC was investigated in WB-F344 in rat liver cells using the scrape-loading/dye transfer assay (SLDT) and the Ca2+ fluorescent indicator, fura-2. Our results show that DDT at noncytotoxic concentrations caused a reversible loss of GJIC. Inhibition of GJIC was not associated with detectable increases in [Ca2+]i, and was not prevented by loading cells with the intracellular Ca2+ chelator, BAPTA. In addition, the hydroquinone, tBuBHQ, which caused a 2-3 fold sustained increase in [Ca2+]i, did not inhibit GJIC. Conversely, when untreated cells were loaded with increasing BAPTA concentrations, GJIC were lost. These results indicate that increases in [Ca2+]i are not responsible for DDT-induced loss of communication and that, in general, an increase in [Ca2+]i within physiological levels is not sufficient to abolish GJIC. However, Ca2(+)-dependent processes that are active at normal resting [Ca2+]i appear to be required for the maintenance of GJIC. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '53d2daca23b4a94325ebeee27b65b0ae2b08d70ff59b725cb4d849f4d61f54f6'} |
Mexico navy catches a founder of Zetas drug cartel

Mexico navy catches a founder of Zetas drug cartel
Mexican marines captured a founding member of the brutal Zetas drug cartel Monday, the navy announced.
Marines arrested Raul Lucio Hernandez Lechuga in the city of Cordoba in the state of Veracruz, where the Zetas are fighting for control against a gang allied to the Sinaloa drug cartel, the navy said in a statement.
Hernandez, known as "Lucky," was the leader of the Zetas for the states of Veracruz, Puebla and Oaxaca, it said. The federal government had offered a 15 million-peso reward, about $1.2 million, for information leading to his arrest.
The Zetas began gaining independence from the Gulf cartel after their then leader, Osiel Cardenas Guillen, was extradited to the U.S. in 2006. They finally split from their former bosses last year, setting off bloody fights throughout Mexico as they seek to expand south.
The navy didn't say if Hernandez was a soldier when he joined the Zetas in the 1990s or give any other details about him.
Earlier Monday, the Mexican army said its soldiers battled suspected drug cartel members just south of the Texas border, killing 11 gunmen. One soldier was reported wounded.
The wounded soldier was taken to a hospital for treatment. His condition was unknown.
Both the Gulf and Zetas drug cartels operate in that area.
In Veracruz, a Gulf coast state bordering Tamaulipas to the south, unidentified assailants tossed a bomb into a building where a cockfight was being held early Sunday, state prosecutors said in a statement.
One man was killed and nine others slightly wounded, the statement said. The wounded were treated at hospitals and released.
State prosecutors did not specify what type of explosive was involved. They also did not say if they had arrested any suspects or uncovered a motive for the attack.
Federal prosecutors also announced Monday that a judge sentenced five former soldiers to 25-year prison terms for aiding a drug cartel.
The rare convictions occurred in the northern state of Sinaloa, home to the drug cartel of the same name.
The five included a major assigned to the military court system, three lieutenants and a sergeant. They were convicted of organized crime and assisting in drug trafficking.
Prosecutors said in a statement the former officers gave "strategic military information and protection" to Alfredo Beltran Leyva, who was a leader of the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel before he was arrested in January 2008.
Beltran Leyva and his brothers were allied with the Sinaloa cartel, but the two gangs split in part because of Alfredo's arrest. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '66', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9811968207359314}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '78367', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:FS2GBRX4IMHRLEZVZSCFYSRVF5BBJY7E', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:11ce427e-629e-4f72-bf21-c42689176b1b>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2017, 8, 21, 9, 8, 23), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.20.27.59', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:NYT2BTV4SM3YTPXRHVHY65GW2HFMBAFC', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:5ffb6997-75eb-4363-b342-229ce0d6b62d>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://townhall.com/news/world/2011/12/12/mexican-troops-kill-11-gunmen-near-us-border-n987252', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a587099d-2600-4c0e-85e1-3dc54300ac41>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '525', 'url': 'https://townhall.com/news/world/2011/12/12/mexican-troops-kill-11-gunmen-near-us-border-n987252', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-166-12-144.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2017-34\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for August 2017\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.21329444646835327', 'original_id': 'dba3d74d475168589504e30c1137ba26ca7a32f3fa562428454b937a76907d98'} |

I have a section in my website called "Techonology" that is not part of the main content where I put the logos of each technology used in the website (PHP, MySQL, Bootstrap, etc). But I'm searching for a way to point to user that images are links too.
Is there a technique to indicate that an image is a link when this can't be too obvious?
share|improve this question
If the images have titles - you could put the linking onto the titles as well. – PhillipW Apr 28 '12 at 19:10
The simplest and most common technique is to just make them links. The state change of the mouse is the most telltale sign. You do, of course, depend on user expectations to even try to click images. – tajmo May 1 '12 at 22:19

There a few common practices to consider:
1. Make the image appear button-like by giving it a raised appearance with drop-shadows. This helps imply the button can be depressed.
2. Alternatively, create the button effect by framing the image in a border (this can be hard to pull off aesthetically)
3. Ensure the image has a hover state that implies it can be interacted with. Raising it further from the page or applying / colouring the border can work wonders.
What's important, though, is that it's clear when an image is and isn't a link. If users can see no differences between static and interactive elements until they click, you'll engender confusion and frustration - and stop users clicking in future.

I think #3 is really important, showing that something can be interacted with is a great way to encourage users to click. – DorkRawk Apr 28 '12 at 19:12
@Jimmy Absolutely agree that there has to be a clear visual difference between an image and a image button. – Chris Abrams Apr 29 '12 at 19:19
tablets don't have a hover state ;) – Mathew Foscarini May 2 '12 at 1:39
+1 @MathewFoscarini Nor do phones. Good point to keep in mind. – GotDibbs May 2 '12 at 1:51
I was a hover junky, but with therapy and counseling I've over come my addiction. I think website design is improved when you don't relay on hover states anymore. – Mathew Foscarini May 2 '12 at 1:59
If as in your question you want to have a MySQL link with say the MySQL logo, you could do worse than what Stack Overflow does with its log-in screen:

One approach to this problem could be to think what makes any element seem "clickable". Text? Underline/Border ? Hover effects? Colors? Tabs? Raised appearance with shadows? A text that points to it and says 'CLICK!'? Isolation/Spacing?
Here are some ways others do it:
share|improve this answer
Depending on the context, I would not worry too much about a visual distinction. As tajmo already mentioned the best indication is the state change of the mouse.
In many user tests I notice how they look for the little hand to appear, and they don't even need to click on the element. Even less technical users differ between clickable and non clickable elements because they subconsciously notice little hand that appears when they hover a link.
share|improve this answer
For example, links on your site are blue and they became red when hovered. So for showing that images are links too you should give them blue border with few pixels padding. If user will hover that image, he will see hand instead of arrow cursor and border should be changed to red (like in links) to indicate that image is a link too.

The Irony of Smoking
I have a mostly joking theory that we won World War II because we had better cigarettes than the Axis. Stay with me here and I’ll explain that. But first, some background.
I grew up in North Carolina in the 1950s and ‘60s. By the time I was a teenager, the egregious sins of the tobacco companies and the serious health threats caused by smoking were just starting to come to light. So during my formative years I was steeped in a pro-tobacco culture before the anti-smoking movement really got underway.
When I was a kid, I could tell you the brand names of all the cigarettes that were made in North Carolina as well as the companies that produced them and the cities where they were manufactured.
I knew that tobacco had been a dominant part of the state’s economy since Reconstruction, and was a major factor in the growth of the state’s largest cities – especially Durham and Winston-Salem, which basically were built from the ground up by tobacco. Tobacco also put new shoes on kids’ feet and food on families’ tables. It helped pay for schools, hospitals, county courthouses, some outstanding universities and a state road system that is one of the nation’s best.
I smoked for about 15 years. I especially enjoyed it when I went through Army basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, when I was 23. When we were out in the field, the drill sergeants would give us a 10-minute break every hour or so. During that break, I could go off by myself, sit down against a pine tree, take off that heavy steel helmet, lay my M-16 rifle across my lap, and light up a cigarette. I could kick my mind into neutral, stare into the woods, and watch the smoke slowly dissipate when I exhaled.
That smoke break gave me a few idle moments alone. No screaming drill sergeants. No lugging a rifle and sweating beneath a field pack and that damned helmet. It was a small island of tranquility in the swirling sea of tedious aggravation and exertion that is Army basic training.
There were a few guys in my company that didn’t smoke, but they were a minority. I have no idea if they enjoyed those breaks as much as I did. But they could not possibly have enjoyed them any more than I.
I was never a heavy smoker. A pack of 20 cigarettes usually lasted me several days. I quit smoking in 1982 after a bout with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. I didn’t know I could be that ill and still be alive when it was all over. I was sick in bed for about two weeks, and it was a month before I started really getting back on my feet. During that time, the last thing I wanted was a cigarette. So when I finally did recover, I decided that since I’d been so long without smoking, I might as well quit.
So I did. No nicotine patches, no tapering off, no belief that I was fighting an addiction, no backsliding. I just quit. I got a little antsy a few times during the first month, but after that it became easier.
I don’t know how many people were smoking when I quit, but I do know that not nearly as many people smoke today as they did even 25 years ago, when the anti-smoking movement was becoming imbedded in American popular culture. As my wife – a lifelong non-smoker – pointed out recently, the pleasure that can come from smoking is no longer common knowledge among most people.
Today, smokers exist at the fringes of American society. You see them huddled outside buildings grabbing a quick smoke, looking around guiltily as they puff away. They are today’s lepers and considered fair game for the contempt of non-smokers. And some non-smokers do seem to enjoy the self-righteous satisfaction that they get from heaping scorn upon smokers.
I’ve never cared much for self-righteousness, and so I’ve found that being in the presence of zealous anti-smokers is often more unpleasant than being in the presence of someone who’s smoking. They say second-hand smoke is bad for you, but doesn’t sanctimoniousness give off some kind of toxin as well?
And recalling the moments of relaxation and contemplation during those smoke breaks in Army basic training, I’m wondering if, in the old days, tobacco didn’t provide some kind of subtle social lubricant and mild tranquilizer that helped us get through life’s daily aggravations and frustrations. How many outbursts of anger were avoided because someone walked away from a tense moment and had a smoke? How many friendships were started because someone asked a stranger for a light? And how many knotty problems were solved during a smoke break? Sherlock Holmes smoked, and sometimes he calculated the difficulty of a problem by the number of pipes he'd smoke while pondering a solution.
Of course, lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema are a steep price to pay for a few moments of relaxation, but life is full of contradictions and ironies. We’re undoubtedly healthier for not smoking, but sometimes I think the world -- or at least the United States -- has become a bitchier place without tobacco.
And speaking of ironies, that brings me back to that opening comment about World War II. The ad at the top of this entry is from January 1942, America’s darkest days of the war. The Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor only a few weeks earlier and were dominating the Pacific. Adolph Hitler had conquered most of Europe and seemed on the verge of taking Great Britain.
America's fighting men were calming their nerves and focusing their efforts by lighting up Camels and Lucky Strikes as they fought fascism all around the world.
Hitler and the Nazis were ardently opposed to smoking, and smoking was banned in all Nazi office buildings. Hitler’s fascist partner, Benito Mussolini, didn’t like smoking or smokers either.
By contrast, Franklin Roosevelt smoked heavily despite his doctor’s repeated warnings. Winston Churchill also was a heavy smoker.
So my point is sort of like that old joke about the guy sitting in Central Park, banging two sticks together to keep the tigers away. On the one hand, his claim that he’s keeping tigers away is nuts. On the other hand, well, there certainly are no tigers in Central Park.
So who’s to say that the strategies and tactics that won World War II didn’t come from the Allies’ planning sessions in smoke-filled rooms, where tensions were eased and focus was sharpened because the participants were smoking? And how many military and political geniuses who could have caused enormous problems for the Allies were shunned by Hitler, Mussolini, and their anti-smoking zealots?
Yes, I know, it’s a screwy theory. But then, the smokers won the war, and the anti-smokers lost.

geek alert
Up to date as of 2000, have no idea what has happened since then:
Real Name: Magneto travels under the identity Magnus. Whether it's his true name or not is unknown. The closest the X-Men have come to discovering his real name is Erik Magnus Lehnsherr although it may not be his true identity.
Date of Birth: Unknown
Aliases: Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, Grey King, White King II, Michael Xavier, Erik the Red
Past Affiliations: Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, Hellfire Club NY, New Mutants
Current Affiliation: Ruler of Genotia
Status: Assumed dead
Part 1: Discovering his powers
Magnus was born September of 1927. Near the start of World War II, his family was deported to a concentration camp. Magnus' family was gunned down quickly and dropped into a shallow grave. Although Magnus himself was unhurt for his magnetic ability had deflected the bullets from himself, he was presumed dead and dropped in as well. But he dug himself out of the grave, and a nearby soldier sent him off to Auschwitz. There, Magnus spent the duration of the war witnessing some of the most grotesque displays of human cruelty. Upon the end of the war and the Holocaust, Magneto first discovered his powers when his daughter, Anya, was trapped in a burning building, yet a mob which had witness him use his mutant powers earlier that day, stopped him from saving her. After attacking the crowd, Magnus latter killed a couple of bandits that attacked him on the road, using his powers. For fear of his abilities, Magnus' wife, Magda, left him, and died soon after in childbirth. She left behind twins who would were raised by gypsies and grew up to become Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch.
Part 2: Meeting Charles Xavier
After searching unsuccessfully for his wife, Magnus decided to travel to Israel, Magnus worked at a hospital helping Holocaust survivors. There he met Charles Xavier and soon became good friends. They both used their powers to help the patients and began to share a dream of mutants and humans living together in peace. One patient by the name of Gabrielle Haller, became good friends with Xavier and Magnus, but was later kidnapped by the neo-Nazi terrorist organization HYDRA. Xavier and Magnus teamed up and using their powers, defeated the terrorist organization, lead by Baron Strucker. Shortly after defeating HYDRA, Magnus grew disgruntled with the humans' lack of tolerance for those that were different from themselves. Fearing another Holocaust, he started taking and aggressive stance towards humans, believing himself and other mutants to be superior to ordinary human beings. He stormed out of the hospital in Isreal, stating to Xavier that "Humans can't even live in peace with themselves!" After leaving, he decided that there was only one way for mutants to be safe from humans: for the mutants to rule the humans.
Part 3: Magneto is born
Magnus then went to work for the CIA, helping track down Nazi war criminals, while at the same time working for the Israeli government and turning many over to it. Magnus codenamed himself Magneto in the CIA, thus the ruler of Magnetism came known to the world for the first time. During his employment, he met a beautiful doctor named Isabelle. One night while in a hotel room, Magneto's boss, Control, along with several other men stormed the room and soon killed Isabelle. Control quickly ordered Magneto be killed as well, for they had discovered his cooperation with the Israeli government. Outraged, Magneto declared himself the mutant Magneto, a mutant superior to all homo-sapiens, and easily killed all the agents.
Part 4: Magneto Strikes
Magneto soon created the Brotherhood of Evil mutants, and it consisted of himself, Toad, Mastermind, the Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver. Magneto struck first by attacking and capturing the American missile base of Cape Citadel. There he ordered that all mankind acknowledge him as their master or else he would begin World War III. Xavier sent in the X-Men to stop him. Lead by Cyclops, and backed by Wolverine and Storm, the X-Men attacked Magneto, but were easily knocked unconscious. When they arrose, the missiles were being launched, and Magneto might have succeeded if it wasn't for Storm who knocked the missiles into the ocean. Magneto struck again the next day at a chemical plant. He quickly succeeding in causing fear and chaos within the plant by destroying many containers and pipes that contained many dangerous chemicals. Soon, the X-Men arrived lead once again by Cyclops, and backed by Wolverine, Storm, and Rogue. Magneto quickly defeated them, and was on the brink of killing them when Prof. Charles Xavier appeared. Magneto offered Xavier one last chance to join his cause, but after he declined, he moved to kill him. With Magneto about to blast him, Xavier entered Magneto's mind and forced him to remember the war and all the suffering he had felt during it. In a desperate attempt to get away from the memories, Magneto blasted a hole in the plant's wall and flew away. Since then, the X-Men had many battles with Magneto.
Part 5: Magneto's Bermuda Island and the Savage Land
During his "conquest" of the world, Magneto was captured by an alien called The Stranger along with Toad. He escaped back to Earth and battled the X-Men again, but this time, Xavier called The Stranger back and Magneto was soon recaptured by the alien. Once again Magneto escaped The Stranger along with Toad and they returned to Earth. Upon returning to Earth, Magneto built his next base on an island within the Bermuda Triangle. But, Magneto became distracted with thoughts of regaining control of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, who had by now joined the mutant superhero group the Avengers. Once again Magneto challenged the X-Men, but through their combined efforts with the Avengers, they were able to defeat him, but Magneto escaped once again. In the Savage Land, a place that exists in the Cretaceous state right below Antarctica, Magneto constructed his new base of actions. He kidnapped the swamp-dwellers (early humans) and using his magnetic powers, mutated them and forced him to becoming his slaves. He soon gained the title of The "Creator" among them. Once the X-Men learned of his actions, they attacked his citadel in the Savage Land which collapsed on top of him.
Part 6: The Fantastic Four
Once again, the X-Men left believing Magneto to be defeated, but he was not. After they left, Magneto crawled out from under the wreckage and made his way to the coast where he collapsed. Later, he was found by Prince Namor, who ruled the undersea kingdom of Atlantis. His next plot was an attempt to capture Sue Richards, the Invible Woman from the Fantastic Four. But her husband, Reed Richards, used a device that made Magneto's own powers work against himself, and in fact, captured himself with his own powers. The Fantastic Four then placed him in "non-magnetic prison cell" which kept him from escaping with an "anti-magnetic force field". However, Magneto escaped once again. Magneto then embarked on a plan to mutate all the non-mutant humans in the world, and nearly succeeded in killing all of the non-mutant humans using nuclear energy to power his "universe machine." However, Magneto failed once again and detonated the nuclear engery container in an attempt to kill himself.
Part 7: Infant Mutants
Magneto once again survived and afterwards, attacked the X-Mansion and beat off Charles Xavier and the Young X-Men. Quickly, the Avengers came to their aid and were captured by Magneto, only to over through him and imprison him deep underground in an energy-globe. However, Magneto escaped once again when a comet approached the Earth and caused a shift in the globe just enough for Magneto to use his powers to escape. Magneto struck next at the United Nations building, by lifting it high into the air. Using a mutant Magneto had created himself, Mutant Alpha, he once again attempted to conquer the world. But Mutant Alpha evolved at an accelerated rate, and instead of helping Magneto rule the world, it turned on him and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. And it decided to give them a second chance, reducing all of the Brotherhood to the age of six-month old babies. Xavier took the infant mutants to Muir Island, and were entrusted to the care of Dr. Moira MacTaggert. Xavier planned to make all the, now baby mutants into mutants that would work for the good of all. But an alien from the Shi'ar empire, Davan Shakari, restored Magneto to his prime, and all his memories. Under Shakari's influence, Magneto attacked the X-Men once again. Magneto soon created an extensive base in Antarctica under a volcano, and proceeded to track down the current team of X-Men. He found out that they had been captured by Mesmero, but soon stole them for himself. He put all them into chairs, which negated their powers and reduced them all to six-month old babies. He then left a robot named Nanny to care for them, but Storm managed to lead the X-Men to an escape which left his base destroyed.
Part 8: Asteroid M
Magneto then retreated to Asteroid M, that he had put in a stationary orbit above Anya's grave. There he took time to think about his actions, and his beliefs. When Magneto came back, he lifted his island in the Bermuda Triangle out of the sea and ordered all of earth to give up their nuclear weapons and let himself rule to bring peace to all. Once again Xavier sent in the X-Men to battle him, and at one point, Magneto nearly killed the young, mutant, Jewish girl, Shadowcat. He immediately retreated back to Asteroid M, and Magneto seriously questioned his beliefs and decided to stop his actions to rule the world. While he was at the asteroid, another alien who had ran away from their own species, outcast as a "mutant," crashed into Magneto's asteroid, and sent it plummeting to the Earth.
Part 9: A New Love
Near death, Magneto was pulled out of the Atlantic Ocean by the fisherman Lee Forrester. Shortly after, he announced that he was changing his ways. Magneto had fallen in love with a non-mutant woman named Aleytys Forrester, who had saved him from being killed by the alien Beyonder. Later they broke up, and Aleytys' current whereabouts are unknown.
Part 10: Magneto's Attempt to become a Superhero
Magneto turned himself over to the World Court, to be tried for crimes against humanity. His lawyer was none other than Gabrielle Haller, the man Magnus and Xavier had saved so many years ago. Magneto would have been found guilty, had it not been for the intervention of the sibling-twins of Baron Strucker, Fenris and Andrea, who attempted to kill Magneto, Xavier, and Gabrielle Haller. The courthouse was destroyed, and Magneto and Xavier were left alone as Xavier's body began to deteriorate. Corsair and Xavier's love Lilandra came through a Stargate to bring Xavier back to the Starjammer (Cosiar's ship), where Shi'ar technology would heal him. Then, Xavier made Magneto promise to protect their dream, and asked that he would take over as Headmaster of the School for Gifted Youngsters. So, Magneto became to headmaster of Xavier's school for a while. The X-Men were independent of Magneto, however he was able to supervise the New Mutants, and after a while he applied for and was accepted as the White King of the Hellfire Club. With the passing of the "Mutant Registration Act," Magneto once again returned to his old ways.
Part 11: Return to the Savage Land and Cortez
In the Savage Land, Zaladane had taken over. There, Magneto, Rouge, Ka-Zar (the ruler of the Savage Land), and S.H.I.E.L.D. teamed up to defeat Zaladane. Zaldane captured Magneto and nearly killed him by stealing his powers for herself, but he was rescued by Rouge and Ka-Zar, and later killed Zaldane against Rogue's wishes. Magneto then briefly became associated with the Acts of Vengeance and there he built an even better Asteroid M. Once again Magneto retreated to the asteroid base to be alone. One day, a mutant named Fabian Cortez came to Asteroid M with a group of escaped mutant prisoners who came to be ruled under Magneto, and were later called the Acolytes. While Magneto attempted to dismiss them, Cortez manipulated him and increasing Magneto's powers, he made Magneto dependent on him. Cortez manipulated him as to start conflicts once again with the X-Men and cause ignominy in the world opinion.
Part 12: Cortez's Deciet
During this event, Magneto learned that while during his "second infancy," Moria had altered his genetic code in an attempt to make him able to cope with his powers more easily. Believing that it had been an attempt by Xavier to control him using Xavier's powers, Magneto captured Xavier and Moria, and forced him to perform the same operation on the X-Men, who had been captured and brought to Asteroid M by Acolytes. But Moria only gave the X-Men a superficial change that would only allow them to be mind controlled until they used their powers. The battle that followed left Magneto severely injured, and when Cortez pretended to heal him, he only amplified Magneto's powers even further to hide his injuries. When the former Soviet Union fired a pulse cannon towards Magneto's space station in an attempt to kill Magneto and the mutants aboard it, Cortez tried to set off some nuclear missiles on the asteroid in retaliation. Magneto used his powers to prevent the station from blowing up and allowed the X-Men to escape, yet could not prevent the asteroid from falling to Earth, and the Acolytes were killed, yet Magneto himself survived again. Once again Magneto returned to Antarctica and went into isolation.
Part 13: Avalon
Magneto came with a new dream, to create a mutant homeland in space aboard a spaceship which used to be Cable's called Greymalkin. At the funeral of Illyana Rasputin, who had died of the Legacy Virus, Magneto asked the assembled mutants to accompany him back to space to his mutant homeland of Acolytes, and among the mutants to come was Illyana's brother, Colossus. Soon after, world leaders on Earth initiated the "Magneto Protocols" which were global electromagnetic shields to render Magneto's powers useless on earth. Magneto retaliated with an electromagnetic pulse to disable all the electronic devices on Earth. The X-Men soon assaulted Magneto on Avalon. During the battle, Wolverine severely injured Magneto and he retaliated by pulling all the adamantium out of Wolverine's skeleton, leaving him near death. Xavier reacted to the attack on Wolverine by shutting down Magneto's mind, causing him to become a human vegetable. In space, Acolytes retrieved a cocoon from space that was home to the mutant Holocaust. Holocaust then fought Exodus and destroyed Avalon, plummeting the spaceship to Earth. Magneto survived again with Colossus' help. After the fall of Avalon, Magneto was believed to be Joseph.
Part 14: Joseph
After hiding for a while, Magneto soon resurfaced and sent another electomagnetic pulse around the globe. Astra, a former Brotherhood member, returned and Joseph, a clone Astra had made of Magneto, attacked him while he was controling the magnetosphere. When the X-Men intervened, it left the clone to control the magnetosphere, which had nearly turned Magneto into pure electromagnetic energy. Magneto was briefly beaten and the clone killed. Before the battle resumed, a U.N. ship landed in the Arctic Circle, and offered Magneto rule over the island nation of Genosha in return that he pledged to never open hostile aggressions towards the nations of the world again, and Magneto agreed. After the days stressful events, Magneto found himself unable to use his powers, exasperated from their extensive use.
Part 15: Magneto, Ruler of Genotia
Magneto soon set about transforming the country into some of its former perstige, and succeeded in changing the standard of humans bigoted against mutants, to mutants bigoted against humans. Magneto was opposed by the son of Genegineer, as well as Quicksilver and Rogue. Magneto defeated the rebel forces, Rogue left, but he was able to convince Quicksilver to stay as minister in the cabinet. Later, Magneto was captured by Apocalypse along with many X-Men and used as a part of a machine which channeled the power of The Twelve into the Apocalypse. Magneto's inability to use his powers soon short circuited the machine, and in the following fight, he discovered that he could use Polaris' powers and use them as if they were his own. Once Apocalypse was defeated, Magneto returned to Genosha with Polaris, and began teaching her to expand her powers and how to control them. Magneto set about restricting the liberties of the non-mutant humans and soon Carrion Cove started a rebellion for they felt that Magneto must never be allowed to use the genetic manipulation chambers, which could allow Magneto to regain all of his lost powers. Although he was opposed by the U.N., Rogue, Acolytes, Cortez, and the Avengers, Magneto made it into the chamber and healed his body, causing him to become even more powerful than before.
Final Part: Magneto's End?
When Colossus sacrificed himself to cure the legacy virus, Magneto found that he had many healthy followers instead of sick and dying. He quickly declared war on humanity once again, and kidnapped Charles Xavier to use as an object to rally his subjects. A new group of X-Men lead by Phoenix along with Cyclops and Wolverine were successful in freeing Xavier. As they were leaving, Magneto tolled them that they wouldn't win because they refuse to do what's necessary to get ensure that they won. Wolverine retaliated by stabbing Magneto in the chest. Magneto is presumed dead, but as we all know, the Master of Magnetism is not so easily killed...

Our friend Norm over at Bearing Drift has some good news for you transportation tax hike fans…you’re going to get your money’s worth:
“Arlington has unveiled what could be the most expensive bus stop in the Commonwealth. It’s sleek. It’s modern. It’s graffiti-free (so far). But what does a $1 million bus stop do that other, far cheaper, bus stops can’t? According to the local spokespeople, everything the average bus rider could possibly imagine: ‘The Walter Reed stop features shelter for some 15 passengers, lighting, an electronic display that shows when the next buses are coming, and a number of unbranded newspaper boxes.’”
The best news? For $1 million, it still won’t protect people from the elements, which I think used to be the purpose of a bus stop shelter.
Oh, and lucky for us taxpayers, VDOT (that would be you and me) picked up 80 percent of the $1 million price tag.
Nope, no waste at VDOT. Got that fixed by all those audits. Need more revenue. Repeat until you start to believe it.
But news surrounding the kinda-sorta largest tax hike in Virginia history gets even better. Defenders of the plan get very angry when anyone makes the audacious claim that all the shiny new revenue might not actually go to transportation. Why they even wrote guarantees into the law to make sure.
Yet, according to today’s Washington Times, some are already pushing for those “guarantees” to go away:
“…the transportation plan has also been hit by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, an unelected body that wrote in a letter last week that it wants the governor to remove language that would dissolve the regional taxes if their revenues are used improperly by local governments.”
Let’s face it, I have a better chance of getting every prediction on my NCAA bracket correct than Virginians do of seeing the “guarantees” in this bill fulfilled.
I guess the good news is, if after the tax hike you don't have enough money to buy a car, you can always take the bus. Just remember to bring a rain coat. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '48', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9315229058265686}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '52712', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:W2LOT3TDWDGY6TJJ2IUX62UPQAVCAEQ6', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f6fd7b14-b776-4660-9d32-c4355582b807>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 5, 19, 20, 46, 43), 'WARC-IP-Address': '198.49.23.145', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:QUDJU4O5TA62LRUDE4V4M4J2D2QCD7FL', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a9b5790f-27fe-4724-b7e6-e48ed8d43934>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://www.familyfoundation.org/blog/2013/03/march-madness-2', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:15176b6d-f8cc-48cd-973e-7af2b29630e9>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '334', 'url': 'http://www.familyfoundation.org/blog/2013/03/march-madness-2', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-22\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for May 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-179-238-165.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.06321275234222412', 'original_id': 'd742e51b82a676cb40fff46afbc3442679f6d12f266af030a6e1bad735a36b76'} |

food | taste the world, at giraffe
on the hottest day of the year so far, i panicked because i had no other plans, so did the safe thing and went indoors where there was bound to be air conditioning, and no direct sunlight. (i am australian. we're told from birth that the sun will kill you.) thanks to some vouchers winging their way into my letterbox earlier in the week, i had a hot date with bex and giraffe's new spring menu to get to; i'd managed to find iced coffee and a shady path the whole way to spitalfields market, where my careful planning took a turn for the worst.
i mean, i seems a lot of other people kind of had the same idea as me, and the market was absolutely heaving. i would have though that the city's parks and green spaces and converted car park beer gardens where the places to be seen on the hottest day of the year, not spitalfields market, but i've been wrong before. don't tell anyone though.
we were seated deep in the restaurant, away from any natural light (hence the yellowish pics), and right under the air conditioning. to celebrate, we ordered some ice cold and fruity cock(and mock)tails to remind us that it was scorching outside, and lovely and cool inside. i went for a strawberry and basil daiquiri (£6.75)(though i'd ordered the bramble garden but they'd run out of gin - in england?!) and a minty lemonade (£2.25), while bex chose the non-alcoholic elderflower collins (£3.95) to set the mood. the basic summary of all: refreshing' we will take a second round of everything in a moment, thank you kindly.
and because our eyes are bigger than our bellies (and because: seriously, it was mega hot and who can ever eat a lot of food in the heat?), we ordered too many starters. we kicked off the meal with salt and pepper squid with a deeelish chilli jam and fresh lime (£8.95 large portion to share)(i could have eaten the whole portion myself), grilled halloumi skewers (£4.50) with a pea, courgette and mint salad, and a warm butternut squash and feta salad (£4.95) with pomegranate seeds and chopped nuts.
as we were sharing these, we piled portions of each dish onto our pretty (and artfully wonky) side plates, and got shovelling the tasty foods into our faces. i'm not a big halloumi fan - it's just so damn noisy when you eat it. i mean, why so squeaky? but, the chilli jam from the squid dish was to absolutely die for, and so dipping every single thing we could into it was the order of the day. did it make the halloumi less squeaky? no it did not. was it tasty as hell? yes it was.
the crispy squid was waaaay better than the last serve i had, and despite being pretty full and knowing there was another course coming shortly, i made sure to not leave any of those deliciously-fried morsels behind. the salad was the perfect accompaniment to the squid and the cheese starters, and the warm squash and feta really melted in the mouth. after three of these simple yet tasty dishes, we were pretty much satisfied! our drinks had been topped up, and we were comfortably full. we should have stopped there.
except we didn't. rather than cancel our mains because we're good citizens and look after our bodies, we said nothing and sat and watched as my half rack of bbq ribs (£15.50) with salsa and sweet potato fries and bex's huevos rancheros (£8.95) with jack cheese, chorizo, black beans, salsa, avo and fried egg were delivered to the table. oh, and a side of fries (£3.50) because her trainer told her she should eat chips. so she ordered chips.
i mean, the ribs were utterly delicious. the meat fell away from the bone, and the saucy was super tasty and flavourful, i just could not eat any more. i dipped a sweet potato fry in the sauce, thinking that would be one way to eat the meal, but - almost thankfully, they weren't actually that nice. they were soft on the outside and not quite cooked enough on the inside, so there were no qualms from me about leaving them behind. i managed to pass some of the ribs off to bex too, thus making the amount left on my plate seem a lot less, and man - that girl can eat. it's an art, really. it's beautiful.
so, we sat and digested what we could while waitresses doted and offered to take the almost-full plates away; we tried to shuffle some food around the dishes to make ourselves feel less-wasteful, but to no avail - we were done in. we apologised profusely, and made our way out into the stifling day.
to say we were uncomfortably full would be an understatement. i always find over indulging on tasty food to be the biggest foodie no-no, because you lose track of all the good memories and positives of the dishes when you're trying to focus on not unbuttoning your trousers in public or laying horizontal on the tube just so you can digest, but sometimes it can't be helped. this was one of those times.
the food and accompanying service was faultless, it was us who overdid it. in five years in london, that was my first time in a giraffe. and, considering my love for world foods, i'm glad this has now been remedied! at every stage of the menu there was a complete range of foodie options from across the globe - from asian, to west indian, to tex-mex and from the mediterranean, and so to say there's "quite a variety of dishes" would be a total understatement.
a massive thanks to the team at giraffe in shoreditch for having us in for lunch, and for overlooking the cardinal sin of leaving an entire plate of sweet potato fries behind. i will definitely be back in your safe hands soon, and i promise that next time i will take it easy on the starters!

New England Unemployment Rates Vary Greatly
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday the New England unemployment rate was at 6.7 percent in January, a slight drop from the previous month.
Individually, the states reported vastly different numbers. Vermont has the lowest unemployment rate in the region at 4 percent, while Rhode Island has the highest in the region and the country at 9.2 percent.
Mark Maggi is with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He says the variation is due to the different industries in each state.
“So states like Massachusetts which has a high percentage of jobs in healthcare and social assistance fields as well as education fields have fared a little bit better than states that might be dependent on manufacturing or construction or tourism or things like that,” Maggi says.
All six New England states have seen their unemployment rates decline over the past year. As a region, New England’s current unemployment rate is consistent with the national unemployment rate. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9477800726890564}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '46093', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:2FQCTMZRW3RV73OZCRHPXRQ7P6UCWRYR', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:1f693485-6f14-43e8-9e48-12efe901ab30>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2014, 8, 1, 15, 55, 21), 'WARC-IP-Address': '96.126.127.42', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': None, 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SIPSIYWUDPOEGJDU7MLZUKONLD6J6GQG', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:0e3c526c-7351-4cc9-a4aa-94d12f3cb3e9>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://nepr.net/news/2014/03/25/new-england-unemployment-rates-vary-greatly/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:91e8b40c-8be6-4c45-83db-54427d7a1169>', 'WARC-Truncated': 'length'}", 'previous_word_count': '161', 'url': 'http://nepr.net/news/2014/03/25/new-england-unemployment-rates-vary-greatly/', 'warcinfo': 'robots: classic\r\nhostname: ip-10-146-231-18.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Nutch 1.6 (CC)/CC WarcExport 1.0\r\nisPartOf: CC-MAIN-2014-23\r\noperator: CommonCrawl Admin\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web with URLs provided by Blekko for July 2014\r\npublisher: CommonCrawl\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.0\r\nconformsTo: http://bibnum.bnf.fr/WARC/WARC_ISO_28500_version1_latestdraft.pdf', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03713393211364746', 'original_id': '9bbaf1a5c327be719e369a0ef2fc8a3b029b8933d6b4f00545174a0fc217a566'} |
Wide shot of students walking through the quad
Office of the Registrar
Degree Works is easy-to-use, web-based, degree audit and academic advising software designed to aid the advisement and academic planning process (e.g., track degree progress, prepare for registration, and plan for graduation).
Degree Works has tools that allow students to view their academic progress at any time and confirm how their course choices fulfill degree requirements.
In Degree Works, advisors will be able to access audits from 2008 to the current year to view their students’ academic record and degree plan.
Use of the Degree Works program is not intended to replace face-to-face advising sessions with an academic advisor.
What is an audit?
How current is information in Degree Works?
The information in Degree Works is refreshed nightly. Any changes made today will be seen in Degree Works the next day. The academic data runs parallel to the student's academic record in Banner.
What if information in Degree Works is not up to date?
There could be many reasons why information in Degree Works is not up to date. One is that Degree Works may not have been refreshed since a change was made (information is refreshed nightly) to a student record. Second, there could be some paperwork that must be completed. For example, if a change in major is pending, it is possible the form has not reached the Registrar’s Office.
I think a student's audit is incorrect. What should I do?
1. The major is wrong on the student's audit.
If the student has already officially changed their major, the Degree Works audit will only display the active degree term. If the change is effective for a future term, the change may not reflect until that term.
2. The requirements for the student's major are wrong.
Look at the catalog year that appears on the major requirements block of the audit. According to our records, this is the catalog that the student is using to complete their major requirements.
3. Transfer courses do not appear in the right place.
If you are concerned about a transfer course that should be applying in the audit, review the student's academic history in SSC and verify the transfer work. If you still have questions first contact the Transfer Credit Specialist in the Registrar's Office, then the Degree Audit Coordinator.
4. There are UNKN courses on the student's audit. What are these?
Unknowns. These are older transfer courses that do not have a direct USC Aiken equivalency. Please contact the Transfer Credit Specialist in the Registrar’s Office to have those credits re-evaluated.
5. Classes are not applying in the right place.
Degree Works uses a 'best fit' approach for meeting requirements so classes may apply to different sections as a student takes more courses.
7. As an advisor, I would like to waive a course for my student.
Department Heads may waive/change a requirement within the major for the student. To have these entered, please contact Maureen Quinn at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Requests concerning general education requirements come through Scholastic Standing and Petitions via an academic petition.
8. The minor or concentration is missing from an audit.
Student can officially declare a minor, concentration or a second major by using the online “Request a Minor” form on the Registrar’s Office webpage.
9. The advisor is not correctly listed in Degree Works
The Center for Student Achievement assigns advisors.
10. Some of my student’s courses are in Electives-why?
There are several reasons why courses may have fallen down into the Electives block. The student is still getting credit for the course.
11. Why don’t the Cognates courses show up?
Unless a cognate is built into a major it is difficult to program. Please filter through the electives block to find the cognate courses that you and your advisee have designated.
12. My advisee is under a very old bulletin year
Not all students will be able to use Degree Works. If the student's catalog year is before Fall of 2008, then this small percentage will have to rely on the paper advisement forms.
When should a student or advisor review a degree audit?
A degree audit can be reviewed at any time; but, it is recommended to do so at least four times a semester. Students should always review their audit:
1. Before registering for an upcoming semester.
2. After Registration to ensure that the courses apply to the program requirements.
3. After grades are posted for each semester.
4. Any time changes are made to the student's schedule or major.
Can I save an audit?
Yes. Utilizing the 'Save as PDF' button, you can save or print a .pdf version of your audit. When doing so, please be aware of FERPA regulations.
Who do I contact if I have other issues?
If you believe an error exists within an audit, contact the Degree Audit Coordinator in the Registrar’s Office: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Degree Works is being offered as a helpful reference for advisors and students, but should not be taken as an official source of information. Please be aware of the following issues:
1. Upper level undergraduate students who have been admitted to any USC campus for graduate school, law school, or medical school will not be presented with an audit of their undergraduate degree at this time.
2. Certain academic history items may not be accurately reflected; coursework transferred from another college/university, study abroad coursework, or courses taken on another USC campus.
3. Students taking courses or pursuing a degree on more than one USC campus at the same time, may have a degree audit that is not entirely accurate or complete for either campus.
Please remember that a degree audit will never prevent a student from graduating. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '100', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9303436875343324}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '48898', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:OLKFKAQSSK3THNQBWIW3YAHH7YFFIGHF', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:85d03213-517d-4554-82ce-093c734d6c0c>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2022, 12, 8, 8, 50, 9), 'WARC-IP-Address': '104.22.38.138', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:SMLFY2M2EISF7SYTV5BKMSARJQXB2V6H', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:51e9c598-5c2d-48a3-924e-b43b5dbb031f>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.usca.edu/registrar/faculty/degreeworks', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:99937843-d1a3-4826-bba9-f195369e39b7>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1058', 'url': 'https://www.usca.edu/registrar/faculty/degreeworks', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2022-49\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for November/December 2022\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-73\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.19 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.4-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03713196516036987', 'original_id': '63c224efa1f96f06e6d5d1db8831b0c11da57d04b89779970729b60edc15b32e'} |

FreeBSD Basics
Building Binary PC-BSD Packages
by Dru Lavigne
FreeBSD is starting to make waves in the desktop arena, and not just as the Darwin core of the popular Mac OS X operating system. Several FreeBSD-based desktop projects have emerged in the past few years and have matured to the point where a nontechnical user can easily install a system fully configured for sound, a network, and applications. In addition to ease of use, benefits include no cost, the BSD license, and the stability and security inherent in FreeBSD.
One of these projects is PC-BSD, which provides two additional features that will make it a strong contender in the desktop market. The first is the Online Update Manager, which with a click of the mouse allows a user either to schedule or to manually check for updates to the operating system and installed applications. If necessary updates exist, the system automatically downloads and applies them, making it a trivial task to keep the system patched.
The second feature is a GUI application installer and uninstaller. While advanced users can still use the FreeBSD ports and packages collection, casual users can simply download a PBI (PC-BSD package) from the PBI application directory, double-click on it, and watch as the GUI installer performs its magic.
While casual users won't be making their own PBIs, you don't have to be a programmer to do so. If you have basic Unix skills, are comfortable with the FreeBSD packages collection, and have a meticulous nature, you can easily create your first PBI in the space of an afternoon. This article assumes that you are working on an existing PC-BSD system.
Step 1: Create Your Staging Area
Also, double-check that there is an existing FreeBSD package in the packages/All/ subdirectory at the FreeBSD ftp site for your FreeBSD release.
Note: at the time of this writing, 6.0-RELEASE had just come out, so there weren't that many packages in 6.0-RELEASE/packages/. Check 6.0-RELEASE/packages first, as it will contain the most up-to-date packages; if yours isn't there, use the one in 5.4-RELEASE/packages/.
Next, become the superuser and create a directory for the application in your regular user account's home directory:
% pwd
% su
# mkdir -p pbi/digikam
# cd pbi/digikam
Step 2: Download the FreeBSD Package and Any Required Libraries
Using the exact name of the package, you can fetch it directly:
# fetch
Next, install the package to make sure you don't have any missing dependencies. If you're lucky, it will just install and you'll get your prompt back. If you instead get error messages, you will have to fetch the missing dependencies:
# pkg_add digikam-0.7.2.tbz
pkg_add: could not find package libltdl-1.5.10 !
pkg_add: could not find package libexif-0.6.10 !
<snip 9 other missing packages>
# fetch
# fetch
<snip 9 other fetches>
Then try to install the package again:
# pkg_add digikam-0.7.2.tbz
Don't worry if you receive warnings indicating that some software has a greater revision number than is required. You can double-check the install was successful with:
# pkg_info | grep digikam
digikam-0.7.2 Photo album manager for KDE with gphoto2 backend

Step 3: Prepare the Tarball and Install/Uninstall Scripts
Packages are really compressed tarballs, so start by uncompressing them:
# bunzip2 *.tbz
<snip 10 other untars>
Next, create an install script and set it as executable:
# vi bin/
cd /usr/local/MyPrograms/$1
tar xvjpf base_changes.tar
rm base_changes.tar
# chmod +x bin/
Then create an uninstall script:
# vi bin/
cd /usr/local/MyPrograms
rm -Rf $1
# chmod +x bin/
# cp bin/PBI.* ~dru/pbi
Step 4: Copy Libraries
# pwd
# mkdir lib
# more ~dru/pbi/
# this script requires you to input the name of an executable
# which is referred to as $1 in the script
# copy the output of ldd into a file
# ldd gives the paths to required libraries
ldd $1 > $
# these statements clean up the output of ldd
# this transforms the first non-path line
# into a shebang
# this makes the resulting file executable
chmod +x $
echo "Run the script $ to copy the required libraries"
When finished, make the script executable:
# chmod +x ~dru/pbi/
As this script takes an executable as an argument, find out the names of your package's executables:
# pwd
# file * | grep LSB
dcraw: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for
FreeBSD 5.3-CURRENT (rev 5), dynamically linked (uses shared libs),
<snip 36 other executables)>
This particular package has 38 executables, so you need to run that many times. Note that makes a script that copies the libraries needed by that executable. As you create each script, run it and then remove it:
# ~dru/pbi/ dcraw
Run the script to copy the required libraries
# ./ && rm
# ~dru/pbi/ digikam
Run the script to copy the required libraries
# ./ && rm
<snip other 36 iterations>
When you finish, you'll have a populated lib/ directory:
# ls lib | wc
79 79 1055
Looks like there are 79 libraries.
Next, double-check whether your package has any lib/ subdirectories:
# ls -F ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib | grep "/"
If there are any, create those subdirectories in your bin/lib/ and copy the appropriate library files over:
# pwd
# mkdir gphoto2 gphoto2_port imlib2 kde3
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/gphoto2/* gphoto2
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/gphoto2_port/* gphoto2_port
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/imlib2/* imlib2
# cp -R ~dru/pbi/digikam/lib/kde3/* kde3
Step 5: Look for an Icon and Cleanup bin/
Adding an icon to your PBI is nice. Check whether one came with your package:
# grep -w icons ../+CONTENTS
<snip large output>
This package definitely came with many icons, and this is the one I'm looking for:
# cp ../share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps/digikam.png .
If your package doesn't have any icons, choose your favorite from a subdirectory of /usr/local/share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/ and copy it to bin/.
When you finish, uninstall the package and its dependencies so they won't interfere when you test the PBI:
# pkg_delete -rx digikam
Finally, double-check bin/ to ensure that it contains only the tarball, the install and uninstall scripts, the binaries, and the lib/ directory.
Step 6: Create the PBI
PC-BSD provides a GUI tool, the Package Creator, which turns the contents of your staging area's bin/ directory into a PBI. Simply double-click on the downloaded file to install the Package Creator. By default, it will place an icon on the desktop and an entry into the Programs menu.
Open up the Package Creator and fill in the first screen with your details:
Package Name: Digikam
Package Version: -0.7.2
Author: Gilles Caulier
Note: The FreshPorts description for your application should include the URL to the application's website. The name of the primary author of the application is usually somewhere at the website for the application.
In the next screen, you can keep the default No for Display License unless the PBI requires otherwise.
In the next screen, browse the Package Directory and select your bin directory:
Under Library Support, select Specify Library Directory, click on the Browse button, and double-click on lib/.
In the next screen, click on Default Program Icon and select your PNG.
Click on Add under Package Executables and type in the program name. Click on the Browse button for Program Executable and select the executable. (In my case it was digikam).
Some programs (for example, Ethereal) need superuser access in order to run. Digikam does not, so I didn't select that option. Click on Save, and then on Next when finished.
Some programs require Mime Types, which you can add in the next screen. (Digikam does not.) The program will then create your PBI--it may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the tarball and the number of libraries. It will tell you when it finishes, and it will place the PBI in that user account's home directory. If you like, click on the Save preset button, which will save all the details to a .pbc file. That can save you some typing the next time you create a PBI.
Step 7: Test the PBI
It's important to test that your PBI successfully installs and uninstalls and that the program works with all its features.
I like to move the PBI to the Desktop so I can double-click on it:
# mv ~dru/Digikam-0.7.2-PV.pbi ~dru/Desktop/
Now leave the superuser account so you're acting as a regular user, and double-check that the application is not currently installed:
# exit
% pkg_info | grep digikam
Double-click on the PBI and see what happens. It should prompt you for the superuser password; click on Next twice and then on Finish. You should now have an icon for your application on the desktop. Double-click on it to launch the application, and try all its features to make sure they work.
Once you've confirmed that the application works, double-check that your uninstall script works:
Go to Computer -> PC-BSD Settings -> Remove Programs and remove your program. When that finishes, make sure there is no longer a directory for your application in /usr/local/MyPrograms/.
When Things Don't Work
If you get an error when you launch your program, double-check the contents of the subdirectory for your application under /usr/local/MyPrograms/. If you're missing subdirectories or files, check for a typo in your install script that prevented the tarball from untarring. Likewise, if your application directory remains after uninstalling the program, you have a typo in your uninstall script.
If all the files seem to be there, you may have inadvertently missed running on one of the executables and therefore have some missing libraries. Review your history, and if you find your error, add the missing libraries, regenerate a PBI, and test again.
Sometimes the application will launch but features will be missing. In the example of Digikam, the initial splash screen was missing, as were most of the menus. That happens when an application shares files with existing applications such as KDE. To find those files, I checked out the package list for Digikam online.
It was the share files I missed. Because I don't want to interfere with existing applications or copy files outside the self-contained application directory, I used symbolic links. I like to add links one at a time at the command line and relaunch the application to see what happens. Once I knew which symbolic links added the missing features, I added them to and regenerated the PBI. In the case of Digikam, the following links added the missing features. (On the command line, replace $1 with the name of the directory, as $1 will work only in the script.)
% ln -s /usr/local/MyPrograms/$1/applications/kde/showfoto.desktop \
% ln -s /usr/local/MyPrograms/$1/share/applnk/Graphics/digikam.desktop \
% ln -s /usr/local/MyPrograms/$1/share/apps/digikam/ \
% ln -s /usr/local/MyPrograms/$1/share/icons/hicolor/ \
Note: don't forget the trailing / when creating directory symbolic links.
Finally, if your application relies on GTK+ or Pango, follow the directions on the GTK+ and Pango PBI packaging page.
Step 8: Upload the PBI
Once you've tested your PBI, you can submit it for inclusion on the PC-BSD site so other PC-BSD users can use it.
This is a two-step process. Start by posting a message to the PBIs ready for test wiki; make sure your posting includes the required PBI information. If the PBI testers run across any problems with your PBI, they will reply to your posting. Otherwise, they'll let you know when the PBI is approved and added to the pbiDIR website.
Next, upload your PBI to a FTP server. If this is your first PBI, click on the private message button on the PBI team profile. The PBI team will send you the login information you will need to access the ftp server.
If you haven't had a chance to check out PC-BSD for yourself, I highly recommend it as a desktop for both advanced and casual BSD users. If there currently isn't a PBI for your favorite application, set aside an afternoon and see if you can generate one yourself. You'll find it to be a very satisfying, and possibly addictive, experience.

Cassette Tapes Turned Into Celebrity Portraits
Published 12 years ago
You probably think that cassettes are dead? Well, think again!
Erika Iris Simmons (born in 1983 in St. Louis, USA) uses old cassette tapes to create incredibly artistic celebrity portraits. Since her emergence Erika has blended the concerns and methods of conceptual art with craft-making and popular culture to create her own whimsical installations. She explores the nostalgia of the archaic, using donated second-hand items as her prime media. Currently, Simmons lives and works in Atlanta.

The Budget Lover's Guide To Five A Day
27 June 2013
Daily nutrition always sits at the back of your mind as you frolic through your 20s, well, it did for me anyway. I didn’t pay that much attention to what I ate. I just ate when I was hungry. Now that I have kids I am suddenly far more aware of how important daily nutrition is and what it means for their growing bodies. Adults and children that eat their five a day are healthier, more active and are less prone to serious diseases.
Also, children that eat their five a day from a young age tend to keep eating them as they get older and statistically are less likely to contract cancer as adults. These facts are rather inspiring yes? Oh, and recent fertility research has said that if you up it to NINE a day, you will be really giving your body a boost in that direction.
However, life has a tendency to interfere with our eating habits. When you’re tired, busy and stressed it is SO much easier to grab a pizza on the sofa. You really don’t feel like spending an hour in the kitchen preparing a wholesome meal. I have the cure!. Yes, you’ll still have to do some hard work but only in short bursts.
Fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables, as well as tinned or canned fruit and veg stored in their natural juices, are perfectly acceptable. And now there are some truly yummy ways of incorporating them into your daily food. For breakfasts why not bung some frozen blueberries (a lovely superfood) into a smoothie made with fat and sugar free plain yoghurt, a smidgen of honey, some skim milk and some oats. That is a really healthy and filling breakfast for little ones.
Another lovely way of including them into your breakfast is to go for one of those cool Overnight Oats recipes. We tried a few and found them very, very tasty. You can even puree the fruit to layer with yoghurt and oats. Try out these recipes for size.
Dried fruit, like raisins, cooked fruit and veg, unsweetened fruit juice and beans and pulses. These are all viable sources of your five a day. So for those of you, like me, who had this vision of eating through an entire setting of fruit and veg every day, this should come as a relief. You’re probably getting all or most of these anyway.
The NHS has a very detailed list on exactly what constitutes a portion of your five a day. However, a general rule is to go for a fist sizes portion of fruit and veg. The site Healthy Eating Made Easy recommends that kids from 2-6 have five portions, 6-12 have seven portions and teenage boys have nine portions a day.
It doesn’t have to kill you financially to stay on top of your five a day, although most fruit and veg do end up eating quite heavily into the shopping budget. There are some cunning strategies you can adopt in order to keep those costs down. Stay on top of the times and dates your local farmer’s market goes up and shop there. Often they are cheaper and you can buy in amounts that suit your household consumption.
Consider buying loose fruit and veg, they are often cheaper than pre-packaged ones and less likely to be hiding a rotten friend at the bottom. Instead of buying your usual snacks consider swapping them with chopped celery or carrot sticks. They are very tasty, especially if you add in some low-fat hummus. Yum!
Stay on top of specials, deals and bulk buy offers at your local supermarkets. You can do this by registering with them to get email updates or by visiting sites like HotUKDeals to see what offers other people have found for you.
Try and take advantage of this when getting frozen produce. Frozen veg can store for ages, take seconds to cook and taste delicious. It’s a myth that frozen foods don’t hold the vitamins and minerals; in fact the reverse is true, especially for peas.
A great tip from the NHS is to pop all of your veg that are about to go out of date into a stew or casserole. A slow cooker is a cooking saviour for this.

Nugget Post: Pouchdb-find regex example
Here’s an example of using the excellent pouchdb-find plugin’s ( regex features. I couldn’t really find a good example in the documentation, but looking at the source code we come up with something like this:
selector: {
_id: {$gte: null},
name: {$regex: ".*ri.*"}

Note that the $regex command cannot be run on an indexed field, so this will be a slow query – apart from the expensive regex operation, all records are being loaded into memory and scanned.

Q:
Is it possible to not repeat Rails ActiveRecord where condition arguments?
I have a Rails ActiveRecord where that looks like this:
Things.where('blahs.foo_id = ? OR bar_id = ?', user.id, user.id)
I want user.id to be used in place of the two ?'s. Is there a way to not repeat it like I've done?
A:
Yes, just use a hash instead of repeat variables.
Things.where('blahs.foo_id = :user_id OR bar_id = :user_id', :user_id => user.id)

Q:
Chrome CSS3 border-bottom transition bug
Im having a problem inside of Chrome only, tested this inside of Opera, FF, Safari and it all works fine.
I know there was a bug with Chrome 17 with transitions on visited links so I even included that thought to be fix
There is still not animation for the transition on hover for border-bottom.
any clues? am I just not seeing something? I've read around and it all seems to be talking about the color of the text, while i'm trying to transition in the border-color.
I tried to animate in border-bottom from none to 1px solid #9ecd41 but found that in all browsers except firefox had a funky jagged animation where it kinda bounced.
any help would be awesome, attached is the code i'm working with.
Ok here is my html

<li><a href="#">SERVICES</a></li>
<li><a href="#">MEDIA</a></li>
<li><a href="#">BLOG</a></li>
<li><a href="#">CONTACT</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
And here is my CSS
nav {

}
A:
Just styled the <li> the way I would of styled the li with widths/heights/padding/border etc and then just styled the link to fill the li and just styled the links colour and font properties. Chrome has small bug on border-bottom for link transitions

The current global business environment is unique. Businesses around the world are evaluating whether and when to intentionally underperform—or not perform at all—on a contract and are then seeking protection under a force majeure defense. Authorities have issued or are considering issuing force majeure “certificates” to provide a company a potential shelter from litigation. However, such a hall pass is just the starting point. Regardless of whether a company receives a pass, there are many economic considerations for a force majeure event.

Mindful Musings: March 29
“luminous Essence”
“Luminous Essence”
Having too little faith will turn one into a hopeless nihilist
But having an abundance of faith will attract others to your light
Don’t be like a dog chasing its tail
Or an office worker complaining day in and day out
Doing nothing to improve their lot—-
For behind all the world’s illusions lies the ultimate reality
At once transcendent and imminent
Filled to the brim with love
Beyond birth
Beyond death
Within everything
But like an old lamp
You have to first remove the layers of dust
To see its luminous essence.

“Eight Soulful New Year’s Resolutions Everyone can Achieve”
By: Forrest Rivers
monks beside green trees
1. Start a daily meditation practice-Besides reducing anxiety and stress, meditation helps us deeply connect to our inner most spirit. It also helps break down the walls of separation that keeps us mired in illusion. There is no “correct” way to meditate but the best times to do so are either in the morning when you wake up or sometime in the evening after your day’s work is done.
2. Volunteer in your community-Mystics of every faith have long celebrated the spirit of service as one of the surest paths to awakening. There are numerous opportunities to serve in this period of pandemic-related suffering. Volunteer at your local food bank, deliver groceries to the elderly, or enlist as a mentor.
3. Set the intention to engage in at least one act of kindness each day-the benefit of this one is obvious. The world simply needs more kind people!
4. Keep a daily gratitude journal-Each night before you go to bed write at least two to three things that you were grateful for in that day. You will immediately notice how this practice helps you adopt a more positive mindset
5. Get out into nature at least 3-4 times per week—nature is the light that fills all darkness. In nature we can’t help but feel connected to the supreme source of living truth and wisdom. Go take a walk in your local city park, go hiking in the woods (if you have woods near to you) go swimming or paddling in the river or ocean.
6. Find a creative outlet-Creative expression is the soul’s natural expression of joy and spiritual release. Learn an instrument, pick up a paintbrush or write some poetry while on a walk-in nature!
7. Plant a Garden-Nothing says soulful like growing your own food and vegetables. Plus, gardening gets you outside and fosters a state of communion with the Earth like no other.
8. Join a community(sangha or satsang) of spiritual seekers-The benefits of joining a spiritual community (even virtually) are many. The great and late spiritual teacher, Baba Ram Dass, said it best in his delightful book Be Love Now, when describing the beauty of his own sangha centered around the great Indian saint Neem Karoli Baba(also known as Mararajii:) “It’s as if Maharajji has been my father or mother forever, and the satsang, the circle of devotees, is a family of the heart that keeps coming and going, having reunions and going away. Over many lifetimes, we all have different guises and costumes and appear on stage in different scenes playing different characters. We’re all parts of the jigsaw puzzle of each other’s karma.”

“A Ballad of Hope Amid a time of Crisis”
By: Forrest Rivers
The year was 2020
The world was plagued by a pandemic
that inflicted mass casualties across the land
Countless millions watched in horror
As loved ones fell victim to the virus
Many more struggled to find work and food
As the world’s exploitative economy
Suffered a catastrophic collapse….
Meanwhile, corrupt and greedy politicians
Stood callously by
As the number of homeless multiplied and starved around them
With little assistance coming from their maniacal rulers
Some people resorted to looting and organized crime
To get their needs met….
But set against this backdrop of death, fear and deprivation
A movement of higher consciousness was well underway
Driven into isolation to control the deadly virus
Citizens of the world came to have gratitude
For all the little things they had taken for granted:
Smiles from passing strangers,
Sentimental hugs,
Uplifting time spent with dear friends and family
And the sweet joys of live song and dance
Were all things sorely missed and remembered
Such expressions of gratitude
So intrinsic to what it means to be human
Triggered cosmic waves
Of beautiful but unintended consequences
For humanity’s awakening amid this age of crisis….
Sequestered in their homes for months
Some discovered a love for art and creativity
While others found God in books and through online talks
From enlightened teachers….
Souls fortunate enough to have nature out their front door
Planted a garden or communed with the Earth
Through walking, swimming and biking
And, inner reflection became a powerful tool
to confront despair for many more….
The ancient practice of meditation underwent a resurgence
As did faithful prayer and mindful attention
To each passing moment
And, the spirit of service
That was heartlessly neglected by society for far too long
Began bubbling within the hearts of each man, woman and child
once more….
The day came
When it was safe for all to emerge from their houses
But when they re-entered the storm of form
What they found was not the same world as before….
A revolution had been born
And seeds planted
As all showed a genuine love for one another
And displayed reverence for the Earth
Consuming less and communing with Her more
The Renaissance in art was felt
As Creative expression flourished
Like rivers flowing into the infinite blue ocean
For the first time in half a century
Young people everywhere
Chose to find meaningful work
Rather than chase the almighty dollar….
Of course,
Many day to day things remained the same….
Grocery stores were still frequented
Children still attended schools
And people still drove long distances
To see kindred spirits in kind—-
But inwardly,
Humanity had awakened from its stupor
Of vanity, greed and self-absorption
Upon entering this new world
Every step felt lighter
And the sun seemed to shine
With a greater luminosity
To herald the coming
Of mankind’s arrival
And to celebrate
Its most profound realization yet:
All things in life are ONE
And filled with the eternal bliss of the Universe
The age of crisis had given way
To mankind’s enlightenment
And the old adage that darkness gives way to light
Assumed a new and precious meaning
In this sacred season of spiritual revival. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9159268140792848}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '51807', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:AOPMWUHX2TSEIICAKN4W5CLJNJPGVM7A', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:f0d425b5-6faf-45ee-a471-e763b7314cd7>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 9, 21, 15, 6, 35), 'WARC-IP-Address': '192.0.78.24', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:VQEMXNGEXV7WGPU2EGIISKFETXPOQJVF', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:e788cc5b-8752-4e39-9a67-66a7ef6c9c11>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://forrestrivers.com/tag/empowerment/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:959e716f-32c6-4f7c-9094-c5182d6f8039>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1125', 'url': 'https://forrestrivers.com/tag/empowerment/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-142\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.18 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: https://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02280116081237793', 'original_id': '1b6827bb5df10204819089554d04189eaa95929edb21d0a19af0137246de8cb4'} |

And The trophy goes to.....
Thanks guys for playing my where in the world is carmen sandiego. Mr. B. guessed correctly,I was in Findlay,Ohio. It's a little college town with a lot of mom and pop shops on their main drag. In addition to Dietsch and George house there was also Sour Flower which looked like a junk consignment shop,Finders Record and tape shop and many more oddly titled stores. I did have fun.
I've been taking some pictures at night. I wanted to capture the Forrest behind my house. Here's what happens when you need a better camera.
If only the camera would capture what I see. Oh well,you can't have it all.

Intratumoral estrogen concentration and expression of estrogen-induced genes in male breast carcinoma: comparison with female breast carcinoma.
It is speculated that estrogens play important roles in the male breast carcinoma (MBC) as well as the female breast carcinoma (FBC). However, estrogen concentrations or molecular features of estrogen actions have not been reported in MBC, and biological significance of estrogens remains largely unclear in MBC. Therefore, we examined intratumoral estrogen concentrations, estrogen receptor (ER) α/ERβ status, and expression profiles of estrogen-induced genes in MBC tissues, and compared these with FBC. 17β-Estradiol concentration in MBC (n = 4) was significantly (14-fold) higher than that in non-neoplastic male breast (n = 3) and tended to be higher than that in FBC (n = 7). Results of microarray analysis clearly demonstrated that expression profiles of the two gene lists, which were previously reported as estrogen-induced genes in MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell line, were markedly different between MBC and FBC. In the immunohistochemistry, MBC tissues were frequently positive for aromatase (63 %) and 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (67 %), but not for steroid sulfatase (6.7 %). A great majority (77 %) of MBC showed positive for both ERα and ERβ, and its frequency was significantly higher than FBC cases. These results suggest that estradiol is locally produced in MBC tissue by aromatase. Different expression profiles of the estrogen-induced genes may associate with different estrogen functions in MBC from FBC, which may be partly due to their ERα/ERβ status. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '6ea99446ee906f60ce781faf3bc3d98bdb02e24ebef2747641468505ba9ea7d9'} |
Thanks again to FASF Aviation News Scout, Virg Hemphill, for this full story. But, a word of caution to our less aviation trained or experienced visitors: The first story is one that has been widely circulated on the WWW for some time, but, although the photos are genuine, the overly imaginative hand of a fiction writer has heavily embellished the already wild enough true story of this plane’s miraculous survival.
The first clue as to the web story’s improprieties would be seen in the photos taken of the seriously damaged bomber on the ground. Can you tell why those photos would have exposed the fiction of this first story?
Read the whole page to the end and you will see if your eyes were sharp enough to determine the truth – or lack thereof – of the email web version that appears immediately below. First, let’s see the famous photo (below), which most of you will recognize as one you have likely seen many times before. It was taken of the “All American” on February 1, 1943 over North Africa on the way back to its home base.
Stricken B-17 “All American” miraculously flying after collision with a German fighter, photographed by the crew of another bomber in her formation. Notice that the entire remnants of the bomber’s tail are barely connected to the bomber’s main fuselage.
The actual letter written back to the states by one of the “All American’s” sister ships. As you likely know, letters written by members of the U.S. Armed Forces from combat sites around the globe, were all passed through censors, in order to assure that no classified information helpful to the enemy might get back home and into the wrong hands. If something censurable were found, it would be heavily redacted or boldly crossed out with a broad marker pen, or in some cases actually cut out of the letter!
The above scripted names in print:
Pilot- Ken Bragg Jr.
Co-pilot- G. Boyd Jr.
Navigator- Harry C. Nuessle
Bombardier- Ralph Burbridge
Engineer- Joe C. James
Radio OperatorPaul A. Galloway
Ball Turret Gunner- Elton Conda
Waist Gunner- Michael Zuk
Tail Gunner- Sam T. Sarpolus
Ground Crew Chief- Hank Hyland
Here, below, in italics, is the Fictional Story of the Incident broadly circulated on the Internet.
B-17 Miracle in 1943
A mid-air collision on February 1, 1943, between a B-17 and a German fighter over the Tunis dock area, became the subject of one of the most famous photographs of WWII. An enemy fighter attacking a 97th Bomb Group formation went out of control, probably with a wounded pilot then continued its crashing descent into the rear of the fuselage of a Flying Fortress named “All American”, piloted by Lt. Kendrick R. Bragg, of the 414th Bomb Squadron. When it struck, the fighter broke apart, but left some pieces in the B-17. The left horizontal stabilizer of the Fortress and left elevator were completely torn away. The two right engines were out and one on the left had a serious oil pump leak. The vertical fin and the rudder had been damaged, the fuselage had been cut almost completely through, connected only at two small parts of the frame and the radios, electrical and oxygen systems were damaged. There was also a hole in the top that was over 16 feet long and 4feet wide at its widest and the split in the fuselage went all the way to the top gunner’s turret.
I love these old war stories especially the ones with a happy ending!
Maybe pass this on to someone who will also appreciate this amazing story.
NOW FOR THE REAL AMAZING STORY, TRULY AMAZING ENOUGH TO STAND ON ITS OWN. The following is thanks to the good investigative reporting of WAR BIRD NEWS
Well it is an amazing story, that much is certain. Though in reading it, the damage pictured didn’t seem to align with the damage described, a bombing mission to Tunis in northern Africa, dispatched from England is an impossibility (not to mention having to overfly the entirety of Axis-occupied Europe to do it), and the plane appears to be on the ground in a desert, which to the best of our knowledge, England is most decidedly not. There are several other problems within the story both large and small, but to completely dissect it would take forever and it would time away from the REAL story of the “All American.
image096The “All American” was actually based near Biskra, Algeria, a much more reasonable +/- 300 miles from Tunis. On the fateful day in question, the All American was part of a formation of bombers attacking the German-controlled seaport. Braving heavy flak and German fighters on the way in, the “All American” and her crew managed to drop their bombs and were on their way back to base when the German fighter planes began attacking again, pursuing them to the fighters’ maximum return range, when the attacks ended. However, two more Messerschmitts appeared and came in for the attack.
One of the fighters went straight for the nose of the lead bomber of the formation and the other came for the nose of “All American.” The crew of “All American” fired at the plane coming for them from their nose turret while firing at the fighter heading for the lead bomber from the right side nose gun. Between the fire of “All American” and the lead bomber, the fighter going after that plane was disabled and sent down, smoke pouring from it as it descended. The fighter that was attacking the “All American,” head-on and guns blazing, began a roll to pull away, but halfway through the maneuver, gunfire from either “All American” or the lead bomber must have killed or incapacitated the fighter pilot and the plane never completed the collision-avoiding maneuver.
ATT00031The fighter passed over ‘All American,” to say with inches to spare would be inaccurate as the plane tore a significant hole in the rear of the fuselage and removed the left horizontal stabilizer. The remaining parts of the tail section, the vertical and right stabilizer seemed like they could shake loose at any moment. Miraculously, none of the B-17’s crew were injured and the men all donned their parachutes, ready to abandon the plane should the tail break off.
ATT00013The other crews in the formation, seeing that the B-17 was crippled, but remaining aloft, slowed to a speed the injured bird could maintain and formed a formation around her until they were out from enemy territory. Once the formation was outside of the maximum range for the German fighter planes, the rest of the formation went on ahead and “All American” limped on alone. The Flying Fortress landed safely, though without her tail wheel which unsurprisingly was inoperative.
ATT00034As one would imagine making it safely to the ground was an emotional experience for both the flight and ground crews, a testament to the bravery of her crew, her compatriots and the legendary robustness of the Boeing B-17, that stands quite well all on its own without the additional fantastical embellishments.
There is an excellent article with an interview with Ralph Burbridge, the bombardier on “All American” in which you can read his first person account of this mission, as well as his other wartime experiences, though the article incorrectly introduces a bit of misinformation of its own.* Sadly, Burbridge passed away earlier this year at the age of 93.
*The Harold Adamson and Jimmy McHugh song “Comin’ in on a Wing and a Prayer” was not written about “All American.” The hit song, released in 1943, recounted the amazing survival of another 97th Bomb Group B-17, “Thunderbird.” The plane had been given up as lost on a January 12, 1943 mission to Tripoli but her pilot, Lieutenant John Cronkhite managed to get her back to Biskra though thoroughly shot up, with both starboard engines out and fuel tanks nearly dry. He landed with no brakes and ground-looped the plane when he ran out of runway, but that’s a story for another day.
And, here (below) are some higher resolution photos of the All American for your edification.

Vendar, also known as Aquatic Elves, are very fair with a blue tint to their skin. Most Vendar have no hair, but those that do usually have short silver, blue or white hair. Eye color is usually yellow, but can be blue or green. The largest group of Vendar live in the underwater realm of Tir Missia beneath the waves of the Diamond Lake. Vendar get along well with other elves and with humans, they tend to see Mountain and Hill Dwarves as being a little too rigid in their thinking. Vendar lean to the chaotic side of alignment, and to the good side of the moral compass as a whole, but can vary just as any other race. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9720859527587892}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '10997', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:64D6CEGVD5HMOIVFXQVGQDVXF4KMO6TT', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5d7da05c-e245-4bd7-8141-4791e667ed69>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2018, 9, 23, 2, 47, 27), 'WARC-IP-Address': '107.180.26.78', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:EYKN7FH766DLPHPYBRY7CMP5GPSTVEH7', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:852bd57a-26e7-4218-930c-87ad5e4424dd>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://draconspire.com/aquatic-elf-vendar?tmpl=component&print=1&page=', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:0f0b6c94-8e8a-49b3-8380-5c38c8ecaeb5>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '120', 'url': 'http://draconspire.com/aquatic-elf-vendar?tmpl=component&print=1&page=', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2018-39\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for September 2018\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-45-127-147.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 0.11-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.5814016461372375', 'original_id': '452b4f17ec8fa3bcfcfba29e1c65ca6c0eb3582a3ce2a6d5a5fbebe2ebe612a0'} |
Professional software contenders: CaseCat - $4,000 . Eclipse - $4,000. Both of these are the the best, but most reporters prefer Eclipse.
Procat, (Smartcat, Turbocat - made by Cheetah). $4,000 too.
Aristocat - $2,800. This is a good choice if you are not in the $4,000 financial bracket, and want to own your own software.
Rental/lease software:
Stenocat32 is the best, $600 a year (but an initial first year fee too, $400?) Provides support.
DigitalCat - $80 a month. Supposedly you can buy the right to use it. Could be $2,400 or $2,800, several websites give conflicting info. Go to Stenovations website, and it doesn't show either a $2,400 or a $2,800 - just shows the $80.00 lease. It also has a purchase option of support for $300 a year. Let's assume the $80 a month rental includes support.
Old software: All assets have a lifespan. CAT software lifespan is dependent upon new technology - computers, laptops, printers. Operating systems, Windows XP, 7, 8, Vista. Old software cannot run on these newer computers - and their makers are not inclined to create patches to make them run on the newer computers (doesn't make business sense). A lot of court reporters have replaced their beloved software - for good reason. So moral of this paragraph, don't buy old Stenocat 32 installed on a 1990's laptop.

I bought Eclipse software from Acculaw and have been very happy.
Most prefer Eclipse? Do you have the stats on that; i.e., how many reporters are on every kind of CAT software and then figure out the percentages? Most reporters I know are on CaseCATalyst. If you just flat out said most reporters prefer either CC or Eclipse, that would be more accurate.
Rhonda, I am just trying to simplify the choices for those who will be buying software, That's all. This was supposed to go on the student page, so they can see the software available and the prices, give them a basic starting point.
As you can see, I gave the price for each, said what were the two best (which they both are the best). Everyone of this website who have Eclipse rave about how great it is.
I think everyone, no matter software they are on, raves about how great theirs is. But to make a blanket statement that "most reporters prefer Eclipse," I don't think that's true, nor is it fair to say to students without knowing that it is, in fact, true. Yes, those on Eclipse rave about it. Those on CC rave about it. Best advice for a student or new reporter is two pick one that is used most commonly by those they will be working with. It's always a good thing to be on the same software as someone else you know so that you can ask questions of them and see their shortcuts on how to do things.
Back to "most people prefer Eclipse" -- my friend Lisa Moskowitz would totally disagree with that, as she was on Eclipse for many years and changed to CC last year and absolutely loves it, wouldn't go back.
Choosing software is an individual, personal choice.
I do know, Rhonda, one of my friends is on CC and she has actually lost files completely at a job. I can say that has NEVER happened with Eclipse. That would be enough to make me a believer for sure.
Kelli, I've actually seen Eclipse reporters online who have said they've lost files. Perhaps you've been lucky and it has just never happened to you, but I have seen it mentioned where it has happened. I think I've seen someone have issues with every software that is available, as none of them are perfect. We just have to find the perfect one for us. To each his own. It's like underwear. We all have our preference, some bikinis, some briefs, some g-strings. We just need to find which one makes us most comfortable and makes the most sense to us.
I like the "big girl panties" as my husband calls them - way more comfortable!!
My grandma used to always give us panties for Christmas. One year, my sister pulled them out of the pack, and she and I was laughing at how HUGE they were. She was used to wearing bikinis, and these were "granny panties," so they did look really big. So I told her she should go try them on just for more laughs. She didn't think it was so funny when she emerged and they were a perfect fit. LOL OMG, it was hilarious.
If I ever expect to get any action in my house, I know not to bring those out of the drawer. LOL.
I know, TMI, TMI. Just couldn't help myself. Definitely way, way off topic. Sorry about that.
Rhonda, do you think that's true in both freelancing and officialships?
Judy, I would think so because if you have others in the same town to ask for help, I think it's a good thing. I started out on BaronData. Why? Because that's what everyone in my firm was on at the time. I wanted what they had because that's what everyone around me knew. When someone had a question, we'd ask each other. Also, if you get on a software that someone you're familiar with is already on, I'm willing to bet that reporter would be happy to give the new reporter/student a copy of the layout files, title pages, index templates, cert pages, etc. I know I would.
Rhonda, I realize everyone who has been working for the last twenty years and has fantastic realtime skills (which I do not) are far more knowledged than I. I was just trying to give starter help for those newbies having to buy software - in terms of what's available and their price. I certainly wasn't trying to offend anyone or overstep my boundaries with any statements. I really do try to be humble.

Seasonal expressions of COX-1, COX-2 and EP4 in the uteri of the wild Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus).
Prostaglandins (PGs) play a pivotal role in uterine reproductive process including maternal recognition of pregnancy, cell proliferation, and myometrium contractions in mammals. In this study, we investigated the immunolocalizations and expression levels of Prostaglandin E2 synthases cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2, as well as one of PGE2 receptor subtypes 4 (EP4) in the uteri of the wild Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus) during the breeding and non-breeding seasons. Histologically, the thickness of endometrium: myometrium ratio in the uteri of the breeding season was higher than that of the non-breeding season. The immunostainings of COX-1, COX-2 and EP4 were observed in stromal cells, glandular cells and myometrium cells in the breeding and non-breeding seasons. The protein and mRNA expression levels of COX-1, COX-2 and EP4 were higher in the uteri of the breeding season than those of in the non-breeding season. The mean mRNA levels of COX-1, COX-2 and EP4 were positively correlated with uterine weights. In addition, the PGE2 concentration of uterine tissues as well as plasma PGE2, 17β-estradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH levels were also significantly higher in the breeding season compared to those of the non-breeding season. These results suggested that PGE2 might play an important autocrine or paracrine role in the regulation of seasonal changes in the uterine functions of the wild Daurian ground squirrels during the breeding and non-breeding seasons. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'e5f0f17d6b7e7949958a20eb39617f26979c0e788b78b7529b021a760c972259'} |

Q. I’m confused why CMOS 15 suggests leaving “cold war” lowercase in rule 8.81. It seems to me that it should be capped, because it’s a clear historical period. Pleeaazze help.
A. In the seventeenth edition of CMOS, we make a distinction between the Cold War (i.e., between the United States and the former Soviet Union) and any old cold war (e.g., between feuding families). See paragraph 8.75. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.931900918483734}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '18622', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:GDHGUMMI4TRNL7HLGI4FMGP7JKZ2JNSA', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:04856d6c-82c5-4a47-97f6-7645789a20fb>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 10, 21, 1, 56, 11), 'WARC-IP-Address': '128.135.159.100', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:UYUFLRLUFBCOTSQMOEKTZ6XIWKF5DFY6', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:ff98090b-0dfb-4fbe-a8c7-958d0430878a>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.cmos-qa.uchicago.edu/qanda/data/faq/topics/CapitalizationTitles/faq0010.html', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:a84aaa6e-feea-484c-827f-046afc7d8fe8>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '70', 'url': 'https://www.cmos-qa.uchicago.edu/qanda/data/faq/topics/CapitalizationTitles/faq0010.html', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-45\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for October 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-137.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.17 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.7336995601654053', 'original_id': '496d1b673d8b49f275fc401b824f907ddd1ccd84915be25557017ac0f1f9c699'} |
Donkey Shot comments
Posted in: South Korean leader says Japan dishonest over wartime past See in context
@pacificwest -It didn't take long for someone to bring the Chinese into this even though it's wholly irrelevant. Based on your comment history though, it's not surprising (a subconscious obsession, it seems?).
The general conclusion is what people think is the history has been highly exaggerated.
Your own conclusion, sure, but not the general one. Whataboutism on "Chinese troll armies" (b/c media-influenced trolls aren't a presence in your home nation or anywhere else, right?) don't excuse the simple facts that Imperial Japan's worst war crimes have been backed by testimonials and records from Japanese veterans themselves as well as Western historians. And don't get me wrong, I personally think Korea (or China) receiving reparations now is unnecessary since it no longer helps the root of the problem nor does it address the handful of Korean war crimes in WW2. But using historical denialist arguments is really scraping the bottom of the barrel, I doubt even the Japanese themselves who do that are anywhere close to the majority of the population.

Posted in: Why is anti-Japanese sentiment remaining from the World War II era almost non-existent in countries like Taiwan, the Philippines and Indonesia, unlike in China and South Korea? See in context
The primary reason for the sentiment is in the education and memorials, particularly in China where Japanese war crime museums are prominent and often encouraged by the parents. Sort of like how in Japan, it's the opposite where government affiliates try to whitewash and revise history in their textbooks and museums (e.g Yuushuukan). Heck, those guys haven't even issued a superficial apology for Unit 731. If the Philippines & Indonesia had more widespread education & parental awareness on Imperial Japan's violence against them, the sentiment would be significantly higher.
I also love how someone made a comparison to Germany, a country which turned on its own war criminals after WW2, & have not let up (with Nazi hunters still working today backed by the govt). I'd be surprised if anti-Japan sentiment would still exist to this degree if their govt started doing what the Germans have done, instead of protecting their often remorseless, happily-living (if not already dead-by-old-age) war criminals.
Anyway, since the vast majority here seems to prefer staying uneducated & bashing China & Korea, rather than anything of historical value, I should expect a good bit of downvotes. Well, the more the merrier.

'Revolution' Season 2: See the light in a new promo
When we left "Revolution" in the Season 1 finale, Aaron (Zak Orth) managed to turn the power back on -- only to see the deranged Flynn (Colm Feore) use it to launch a nuclear strike on Philadelphia and Atlanta.The result of that turn of events isn't really addressed in the first promo for Season 2, which you can watch above. Instead, we get a brief summary of events from the first season, with little glimpses of new footage here and there toward the end and the tagline "What powers will light the way?"The, uh, highlight of the new material comes in the last few seconds, as Aaron watches a cluster of what presumably are nanites flit in the air above him. Other than that, the 30-second spot is primarily a mood-setter for the struggles to come in Season 2."Revolution" moves to 8 p.m. ET Wednesdays starting Sept. 25....

The perils of the staff Christmas party
It's that time of year again, the staff Christmas party needs organising.
Here are 10 perils of the Staff Christmas Party that you must plan to avoid.
1. Set a 'Party Policy'
From the employer's point of view, the staff Christmas party is a 'work activity'. It should be treated as such by having guidelines in place. This could be as simple as displaying employees' responsibilities, such as acceptable standards of behaviour, on a notice board. The employer's responsibilities, for instance meeting health & safety requirements and providing grievance procedures to deal with any resulting problems, should also be outlined.
2. Identify potential hazards
Just as with any other work-related activity, a risk assessment must be carried out to identify potential hazards at the staff Christmas party. This could involve inspecting the venue to plan for drunken slips and trips, considering the safety of people going home after the event, and even identifying any potential conflict between employees so that table plans can be organised accordingly.
3. Issue behavioural guidelines
This should be included in the 'Party Policy' and should clarify unacceptable behaviour, such as harassment, bullying and fighting. Employees should understand that, as the staff Christmas party is technically a work activity, normal disciplinary procedures would be applied.
4. Invite husbands, wives... and life-partners
If inviting employees' partners to the event, employers need to tread carefully. This should not be restricted to husbands and wives but also extended to partners of the opposite and same sex, to avoid potential sexual orientation discrimination claims. With the introduction of the Civil Partnerships Act, which gives same-sex couples the right to enter into an equivalent of marriage, employers should make extra sure that, if inviting partners, same-sex partners are not excluded from festivities.
5. Avoid 'tipple tattle'
Boozing bosses should avoid discussing promotion, career prospects or salary with employees who may use the convivial situation to discuss matters that are more suited to a formal appraisal or private meeting. The employee is likely to expect any career promises to be kept - even if the employer can't remember the conversation!
6. Limit the spirit
If the employer supplies the alcohol, or encourages its consumption, they may be legally responsible for the welfare of the employee if they suffer from drink induced disasters - even if they occur outside of the party itself. The best solution is to limit the number of free drinks at the staff Christmas party and be prepared to ask individuals to take it easy if they appear worse for wear.
7. Don't poison your staff
If providing a buffet, the food must be safe to eat. Buffets present a particularly high risk of food poisoning from foods such as cooked meats, eggs, mayonnaise and cooked rice. Food should not be left out at room temperature for more than 90 minutes and should be stored below 5°C.
8. Ditch the mistletoe
The staff Christmas party is the perfect environment for a festive fling but this could have repercussions when employees return to work. A brief encounter under the mistletoe can cause embarrassment in the workplace and put strain on working relationships. While many businesses have informal views on office affairs, most do not have a policy on workplace relationships, consider whether you need one!
9. Curb drink driving
As employers are responsible for employees' actions after consuming alcohol they have provided, sensible bosses will issue advice before the party about not driving after having an alcoholic drink. It is advisable to hire a minibus for the end of the night, or provide the numbers of local taxi firms to demonstrate that reasonable steps have been taken to minimise this risk.
10. Don't expect miracles the morning after
A contract exists between the employee and employer that they will be in a fit state to carry out the work they are being paid to do. Bosses should decide to what extent they will be lenient to staff coming to work with a hangover, arriving late, or even not at all, and inform employees. More important is the safety of employees, who may not be fully sober the next day, especially if they need to drive or operate machinery. Employers should either advise employees beforehand not to drink too much alcohol, or remove the risk to safety by giving them alternative work until they are fit to resume their normal tasks. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '0', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.950932502746582}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '51337', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:DQJDMIA2UDPEJLCXQJJ3S3DQ434ZNCAY', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:a66f7e53-03ae-4287-ad35-fbdccb7528bf>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 29, 2, 19, 10), 'WARC-IP-Address': '84.19.96.32', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:6VIH4OYC4OL7AAQMMO7IJ6EZ2VFZXRSQ', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:40b9bfa9-d100-4115-bb63-ffea2f23df01>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.lancashirebusinessview.co.uk/latest-news-and-features/the-perils-of-the-staff-christmas-party', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:1f8d9cfd-4cb8-4e4f-9d9a-13cf4235ab60>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '730', 'url': 'https://www.lancashirebusinessview.co.uk/latest-news-and-features/the-perils-of-the-staff-christmas-party', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2020-05\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2020\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-163.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.16 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.02204108238220215', 'original_id': '30f5eea416280fcadf434645bb26381b044b75167c54d87636ccb0462e6ad1fa'} |

SNARED and SNAGGED… SASUMATA Style indeed. Unique and Classic Weapons of Ancient Japan. Ninjutsu has become synonymous with unusual weaponry. This is derived in essence, from NINPO. Whereby nothing, something, anything and everything is a weapon… or can be… or not. Unusual or unique weaponry examined herein. Some indeed full of surprise it seems. 9 OF Shiro’s select. Photos galore.
idreamofninja WEAPONS INTEL:
Ninjutsu has become somewhat synonymous with unusual
weaponry. This is derived in essence, from NINPO.
Whereby nothing, something, anything
and everything is a weapon… or can be… or
Unusual or unique weaponry
truly has a long history and connection
with Mankind.
ALL over the World.
9 Unique and Classic Weapons of Ancient Japan.
Wherever we so fight… they may be…
in some form.
1. The SHURIKEN…: The linkueininja collection. Showing several variety of star or projectile type. Can also be bladed. The iconic ‘ throwing star ‘; SHURIKEN’s literal meaning is ‘ palm blade ‘. In olden times too, the SHURIKEN was often referred to as a ‘ hibuki/kakushibuki ‘ or ‘ secret/concealed ‘ type Weapon. Oft. carried in loosely tied packs/bundles within one’s clothes. A distracting/hindering weapon in concept though other uses such as aiding punching/striking/blocking are noted. The art of use soon became a Tradition, usually being referred to as SHURIKEN JUTSU. They appear first chronicled around 1080 ish, being referred to as ‘ shuriken ni utsu ‘ in the HIYORI no KI which describes events of the Later Three Years War ‘ Gosannen no Eki ‘. An olden RYU still continuing the Tradition is that of the MEIFU SHINKAGE RYU. Many of the techniques inherent mainly involve both Sword and SHURIKEN, in combination or consecutive movements/actions. Btw… BOTH of these weapons… Can be used/thrown to surprising effect… or to effect surprise indeed. photocredit/thanks:thelinkueininja
2. The SASUMATA photocredit/thanks:wikimedia
GOTCHA… the SASUMATA ( and variations ) can indeed be non-lethal weaponry whilst still possessing high offensive/defensive potential. A stereo-typical olden police/guard ‘ restraining/capturing weapon ‘. With it’s long reach and the shaped catch area being made of metal, extremely useful too against even armored opponents. High-defensive structure and capabilities and intent. The STAFF/handle could be metal or wood, possibly with further attachments. As with others in this review; there are historically many with subtle yet very effective add-ons/variations. Tips, barbs, chain/rope attached, hook devices and more. This type of common-sense approach to a weapons development meant that most opponents could be confidently approached then somewhat easily levered or pressured against, as well as the opponent’s weapon if so req. With unique versatility, the SASUMATA, with a long history too, probably not as bloody as some. But still a classic.
SASUMATA TIP ENDS VARIETY PACK… photocredit/thanks:wikipedia
The 9 weapons herein are not necessarily confined
to the NINJA and KUNOICHI Traditions. Many other
Martial Traditions from Japan and around the World
utilise similar weaponry… for similar reasons.
Useful and oft. readily available and many
with non-lethal potential. With both offensive
and defensive applications inherent. Some
relatively simpler to learn too.
Ideal for Self-defence.
3. The JUTTE.
3. THE JUTTE AND CO… photocredit/thanks:ebay
The JUTTEanother unique weapon classic with high non-lethal potential as well as high offensive/defensive capabilities. Similar in concept/theme to the previous SASUMATA though directed primarily at bladed weapon defense rather than personnel; in particular, the SAMURAI’s KATANA sword. Aka the SWORD/Blade CATCHER. Technically, a rather sophisticated weapons combat form developed involving skillful parries of the opponent’s blade combining with effective percussive and thrusting strikes/blocks. If the blade was caught and trapped, simple leverage/pressure/twists etc would remove the opponent’s hands from their weapon. The hilt could also butt-hit with force as with the main rod; the weapon sometimes thrown if req. Wordplay with it’s name has also revealed one of it’s inner secrets,.. for the word ju(t)te literally means ‘ has the strength of ten hands ‘.
JUTTE COMPONENTS… photocredit/thanks:kesshi
JAP. JUTTE shiro's 1990
SHIRO’s JAP. JUTTE 1990. The JUTTE was another also mainly used historically by police/guards as a ‘ disarming/restraining ‘ tool. Usually non-sharpened, ( though rare, bladed examples are known of ), a solid metal rod with a catch tine/fork; more than adequate against armor too. Can be easily enhanced by addition of rope/chain attachments on handle end or inside a special hollowed handle cavity section. Some had a hilt-guard and were oft. carried in a scabbard too. Usage of the JUTTE became so prevalent ( +effective vs sword ) that at times in history it became the ‘ symbol ‘ for the civil police forces. Renegade/criminal Samurai… beware… JUTTE will catch you out…
4. The KUSARIGAMA… the chain and sickle blade combo well known to martial art movie-goers. Another unique weapon classic with high potential offensive/defensive capabilities. Many women of the EDO period for example recognised this and became proficient in its use. It’s relatively light-weight construction and flowing CHAIN movement possibly enhanced/understood by female innate rhythm kept training levels high. The infamous MIYAMOTO MUSASHI NITO KEN ( double/twin SWORD techniques ) were even adapted by such as NITO SHINKAGE RYU to accomodate twin sickle usage. Needless to say the training was long and arduous.( Refer to intel #3+4 for DIY KUSARIGAMA + other training weapon manufacture ideas ). A uniquely effective weaponry combo. Though… during training you may well find yourself wrapped in chainShiro did. photocredit/thanks:mlppolska
SHIRO’s DIY KUSARIGAMA: NOTE the CHAIN CAN BE NEAR BLADE OR END HANDLE… also note… Whilst SHIRO has favourite weapons… he does not favor weapons… even such as this awesome weapon has limitations as with ANY/EVERY other…
For example; the great Sword Master MUSASHI, when experiencing difficulty getting his weapon into range due to his KusariGama wielding opponents chain’s ability to create space- eventually… though a lil desperately too… threw his sword through the air-space quite some distance to effect a victory. Great throw… bad catch. To reiterate/stress this point of learning to use AND KNOW any/all weapons whenever you train… also consider the Life of Weapons Master YAMADA SHINRYUKAN who lost it when his opponent Master Swordsman ARAKI MATAEMON overcame SHINRYUKAN’s KusariGama techniques and capabilities of creating space… by removing such space-by confining and trapping him in a Bamboo Grove where his Sword had enough room to move… whilst the Kusarigama met and chopped only fresh wood Bamboo entangled at every turn of the Chain… The next hungry wandering Bamboo Rat got his meal… sliced and diced. Just like SHINRYUKAN. Noted. photocredit/thanks:ebay
5. The KAKUTE.
5. The KAKUTEThe finger sized knuckleduster ring. A very large range of types and varieties in this category show use historically. Many semi-concealable, if not fully… esp. at night/dim light. High offensive/defensive potential, combined, very likely, with the element of surprise, shock and subsequent onset of intense pain and loss of confidence for the opponent as a probable result. The opponent may indeed ‘ not know what hit them ‘ and has also been struck bewilderingly forceful. Some, if not many are also semi multi-purpose. The hand-claws ( SHUKO ) for example are oft. alternatively used as gripping/climbing aids, just as well as in combat. The LEGENDARY COMIC HERO WOLVERINE grows his own unique and stylish long version of this type from the inside out… The KAKUTE and etc are also another unique weapon classic that has a low learning curve; requiring little training time to ‘ grasp ‘ the fundamentals whilst instantly adding much ‘ oomph ‘ to your blocks/strikes/grabs/slaps etc. Semi-useful too against armor and blades, easily hidden… yet … readily at hand… or is that ‘ under-handed ‘.?. photocredit/thanks:pinterest
KAKUTEGET A GRIP!.. THAT’S HANDY!! photocredit/thanks:bujinkantraininguii
Some unique and versatile modern day Weapon
training variations/alternatives such as
key ring items, backpack, cup of hot tea, the broom or iron and cord,
your mothers rolling pin, a helmet, pepper shaker +contents,
your dog, bicycle lock and chain, hairspray, ashtray +contents,
coat-hanger, the coat etc etc are prime
examples of daily items easily doubling
as self-defence weaponry if so required.
ALL can be used offensively or defensively.
ALL will distract giving time and distance,
ALL will trap/hook/strike/hinder etc,
ALL will block… all of course to
varying degrees and manners depending on the nature
of incident and their application. By using your imagination
within training and trying different items and combos…
you may well end up inventing
a Unique Weapon variation of your own…
maybe even a Classic.
6. The KAGINAWAA uniquely simple weapon combo+multi-purpose tool. A hook and rope. Simple. Akin to the usage of the LASSO rope it’s historical uses are very many… by very many (people). An all round effective restraining/binding/trapping/tying weapon type. Doubles as a climbing aid and for snaring wild game… or wild men. Offensive/defensive indeed can the KAGINAWA be. The rope was cut to a length that enabled at least 1 man to be very well tied up. The hook, if reqd. would aid capture… then ‘ clip ‘ the tied rope all tight/firm. Variations of hooks to suit intended use would apply… just like… fishing perhaps. During the reign of the TOKUGAWA SHOGUNATE for example, many in Law-enforcement were given the opportunity to immerse themselves in such weapon training. Learning the ropes … by the sound of it...
The KAGINAWA will leave the crim all tied up. Are you hooked yet ?… ROPE TYING became a specialty, an art and a Tradition and the involved RYU would endeavor to create workable, both quick and slow, effective rope tying techniques and methods capable of binding the captured; possibly for days on end during transport to places of judgement. Such methods displayed an intimate and thorough anatomical understanding. As generally noted in the literature on the subject; these skills were perfected whilst ALSO having to maintain a certain aesthetic look. This was dependent and corresponding ONLY to such as the known TOTAL ‘ status ‘ ( incl.such as social / sex / profession / convictions etc ) of the captured party. Basically, this means indeed,.. = your own ‘ unique character ‘ defined the way and manner of your own classic ropey restraints… and number of knots. Tying it all together using only a rope and hook. Oft. termed HOJOJUTSU or NAWAJUTSU etc. Ropes btw were usually and mainly made from HEMP.

7. The KYOKETSU SHOGE... A stylish Ninja variation of the previous classic Kaginawa with farming tool/blade add-ons to boot. Consisting of hook-dagger, rope+ring this weapon’s name has one of the more endearing meanings. A literal translation of ‘run around fields and mountains‘. ( Apart from being a ninja pastime… its relative meaning is unknown to Shiro at the moment ). The hook-dagger blade tends to be double-edged, attached to some 4 to 6mtrs of rope, chain or… hair, with a ring-weight on the other end. YES… HAIR… human or horse the mentioned preferred sources apparently. Indeed, another unique weapon with high offensive/defensive potential and capabilities. As with others herein, the usual multi-purpose weapon/tool label rightly applies. KYO. SHOGE techniques include Blade slash/thrust/hook actions into armor/personnel, usual rope/chain and (not-so-usual) HAIR abilities of creating space and distance from opponent( or incl. as a climbing aid etc ) and a multi-purpose ring too. Such as a weighted end wrap-around item ( like Spanish BOLOS ), or as a foot-step during climbing, a knuckle-duster device during combat and as a weapon encircling/catching aid too… So, are you thinking of owning a unique HAIR powered SHOGE..? … well,… i hope RAPUNZEL has a Japanese cousin whose father is a Blacksmith?… Me too.
Do not be led into thinking that the CORD/ROPE/CHAIN/HAIR section of some of the ANCIENT WEAPONS herein is just a simple item or after-thought. Great care and technical production was put into their manufacture according to the need. The making of CHAIN for example became a sub-speciality within the Blacksmith’s Trade. This was due to the intensive labour and time req. to forge high quality chain-links. The end-product had to withstand strong forces indeed. Defending against such as the KATANA Sword, YARI Spear or even larger NAGINATA Halberd is wrought with danger. A special smithing forge process of ‘ wakashitsuke ‘… = of ‘ first seperate+then join ‘ became necessary. Each and every chain-link was to be forged individually and then hammered PERFECTLY together. Special MUD was applied to the link joins during such processes… ANY weak link… would be fatal. The Metal used was usually an IRON composite which, if worked and forged correctly; formed CHAIN RINGS of ultra high strength. Able to take on the HEAVY WEAPONRY. The weakest link… would now be hard to find indeed. Another classic.
As a matter of interest; shiro noted that impressions/opinions
of MANY of the sources used: indicated that many such
unique and unusual classic Weapons as like those reviewed
herein were;
very possibly DIRECTLY a result of the ruling Samurais
attempt to monopolize the KATANA sword
for their legal use only.
By simply banning the public from using such
a favored weapon, whilst retaining the rights ONLY
for Samurai led to somewhat dramatic increases
in unique and unusual weapons with
high offensive/defensive capabilities being made…
and used.
The LAW was not balanced for ALL.
A classic problem.
Thus- to compensate the obvious gap and bias;
the Common People need self-defence too.
Such as the 9 Unique and Classic Weapons of Ancient Japan herein.
Simple… and balanced.
8. The TOKKO.
8. THE TOKKO... LAYOUT PLAN… UNSURPRISED… A unique Weapon with a surprising Religious twist. A somewhat specialised item. During troubled times a Priest may find much to fill time and travel, yet travel itself can become troubling. Many such took regular and necessary advantage of the many WALKING STICKS/STAFFS which at this time in History were an essential travel aid item. However… the usage of such indoors where space was limited and the Weapons reach advantages etc negated – a more personal defence system was req. In self-defence of the Religious… how far would you go ? The Priests of Buddhism and Tantrism were oft., like the renowned SHAOLIN MONKS in China, subject to particular persecution- Considering the Profession, a Symbol from Heaven was perhaps needed ? Introducing the surprising TOKKO, an iconic Weapon, an icon that became a Weapon. Classic… and Unique indeed… not surprised ?…yet… photocredit/thanks:heianperiodjapan
The TOKKO, according to the LEGENDS was styled on the indestructible HEAVENLY THUNDERBOLT representation. A symbolic and ritual item. Usually hand-held though mounted types known as well. Could be mounted on a variety of weapons, both LIVE or CEREMONIAL though the STAFF type appears most prevalent in this mounted group. The concept historically has links to the Ancient Worlds of INANNA’s INDIA and other Asian regions. Deriving from such as the Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism Traditions. The founder of Shingon Buddhism for example, KOBO DAISHI KUKAI ( 774-835 ) is oft. depicted pictorially and documented with such items. Akin in theme to the KAKUTE mentioned earlier and with many of the same advantages and applications; though not so easily hidden and concealed. An added bonus here is that the TOKKO could however, practically go ‘ anywhere and everywhere ‘ the Priest went, whilst WEAPONS per se Legally… could not; due to weapon bearing restrictions and/or security reasons. Go anywhere TOKKO indeed. Surprised ?… let’s OPEN up shall we… photocredit/thanks:dreamstime
THE TOKKO SURPRISE Another unique Weapon with high offensive/defensive potential and the surprise shock value too. The prong ends were ideal for self-defence application allowing penetrating stabs and thrusts to have good effect whilst defences/blocks would be greatly enhanced. The prong number could be varied too. Percussive effects obvious. A couple of variations in design of size, shapes and symbol style noted. Some were single -pointed basic stab type, others shaped and curved for use as per knuckle-dusters etc. Metal used was BRONZE or IRON. Primarily manufactured using the period CAST FORGING Smith techniques which in turn seem inherited from both Siberian and Chinese metallurgical sources. Having high inherent strength, there is mention too of its use to block and deflect, even shatter blades of the enemy strikes. That’s a classic surprise… Go TOKKO indeed. photocredit/thanks:pinterest
9. The SHIKOMI ZUE A Walking-stick ?… LOOks can indeed deceive… or deceive indeed can LOOks… A HOLLOWED STICK, CANE OR STAFF. A hollow w/stick with concealed add-ons ( or should that be add-ins…). Another unique Weapon within the surprise theme. High potential. Staying with the theme of public safety and self-defence and as mentioned earlier the w/stick was a travel necessity in the days of old. Nobody went out without one… or two. Constant and persistent travel on unsealed roads, paths and trails oft. thru somewhat mountainous country was physically challenging… just like Bandits tended to be. A w/stick should suit both of these occasions just fine. Culture and movie MARTIAL LEGEND ZATOICHI, the Blind Weapons Master is an ideal classic representation of the perennial wandering HERO and is one who carries the SHIKOMI ZUE STICK… that is a WEAPON-in-disguise. photocredit/thanks:glowingmobiru
A SHIKOMI ZUE VARIETY PACK COLLECTION… The ‘Stick‘; when grabbed and pulled would reveal it’s concealed SCABBARD Nature. Ideally, this split/pull would leave the ‘ Handle ‘+Weapon in YOUR hands… the now empty stick scabbard in your opponents… hopefully some surprise, wariness and fear creeping in their Hearts too. Ideal for NINJA and KUNOICHI. Many RYU techniques devised specific solutions and feints to encourage the grabs… and further offensive/defensive actions to follow up. Just remember to hold the SHIKOMI ZUE the correct way… blind or not. photocredit/thanks:senpuu
A very olden concept; variations abound here historically with the SHIKOMIZUE As does potential, capabilities and applications. Changes to such as special features, size, shape, blade or weapon inclusion type and number of hollow sections noted. Blade/Weapon items include a variety/selection of spear-heads, short(er) swords, daggers, spikes, rods, chain lengths and even a JUTTE ( reviewed earlier ) could all be concealed in a hollow w/stick. BLOW-PIPES naturally suit. Lots of choices. Other hollow sections could hold any number of things; a fire-starter kit, blinding powder, powdered herbs and foodstuff… basically whatever the SHIKOMI ZUE’s owner desired/preferred… or could fit. Mention is made too of quite a few rare examples of particular designs that resemble other social and cultural items of everyday use… besides the STICK that is… that could also be used to accommodate/conceal a Weapon. Examples include a long barrelled FLUTE concealing a long blow-pipe or thin short sword/dagger… and still play… hopefully. Short versions of these available of course as well. Another noted was a metallic SMOKING PIPE, almost club-length, which had a Hilt-Guard and oversized metal tobacco bowl the size of a basic hammers head… and surely hurt as much too. Many such uniqueSHIKOMI ZUE’s special w/sticks were likely made-to-order per se… whether you be blind, flute play, tobacco smoke… or not. Classic indeed.
SHIRO’s SWORD OF UMBRELLA BONUS PIC… A modern and non-lethal but classic wannabe, themed on levity and personal dryness. In honor of the reversal of the unique SHIKOMI ZUE concept THE SWORD OF UMBRELLA takes it’s deserved place in on… SHIRO’s Weapon Clothes Rack… YEP… LOOks like a Sword… LOOKS lil cloudy out too… classic, i need something unique… gotta keep me and my blinding powder dry ! Gotta Go training…
dreamily and visually too.

Diffusion of gases from alveolus to precapillary arteries.
A cardiac catheter with a platinum electrode just proximal to its tip, "wedged" in a branch of the pulmonary artery, was used to demonstrate the appearance of hydrogen or oxygen at the tip of the catheter after inhalation of these gases. | mini_pile | {'original_id': '196297d817e1511b2444aefc102e3323767b434f51f5e34d4ab5e87a83d4cf6d'} |
Preparation of 153Sm-chitosan complex for radiation synovectomy.
A samarium 153-chitosan complex was prepared by simply mixing acidic solutions of chitosan and (153)SmCl(3). When a solution of this complex was injected into the knee joints of rabbits, minimal extra-articular leakage was observed. This can be attributed to the rapid change in the pH of the complex solution from acidic to neutral, resulting in the formation of gel followed by the subsequent retention in the administered site. Thus, the complex solution represents a promising candidate for radiation synovectomy. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'b2ac31045d7c3f7f151d57a3211ef438b59a2e1f139ab48e06f1a7dfd20fc83a'} |
This booklet is an EFC (European Foundation Centre) thematic network's first collaborative piece of work. It presents collected case studies on foundation grantmaking programmes where using a gender lens made a real difference to the people concerned. Criminal justice, climate change, migration, labour rights, workers' health and disability are the foundation programme areas discussed. Indeed, these diverse areas, all equally important, have something in common: they were all approached through a gender lens which allows each foundation to fully understand the issues it tackles, and adapt its response accordingly. This publication addresses what a gender lens is and how a foundation can use it; And tries to answer some questions.

Jesse Watters on House Intel impeachment report: 'The whole thing backfired'
Cheryl Sanders
December 4, 2019
"No other President has flouted the Constitution and power of Congress to conduct oversight to this extent", the report said.
The president, at a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation meeting in London, called the impeachment effort by rival Democrats "unpatriotic", and said he wouldn't be watching Wednesday's hearing. The report, along with views provided by Republicans, will then be sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which is taking over the next phaseof the inquiry.
That controversial strategic position, laid out by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., in a brief interview with McClatchy on Tuesday evening, is the strongest and most decisive statement yet by a member of the House Democratic leadership team. Lawmakers were allowed to only look through the draft report behind closed doors in committee spaces.
House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday that the report "outlines in considerable detail a scheme that began actually well before the recall of Ambassador (Marie) Yovanovitch, and was created to further two political objectives of the President, which is an investigation into Joe Biden and an investigation into this debunked conspiracy theory that it was Ukraine that interfered in the last election, not Russian Federation - notwithstanding all of our intelligence agencies concluding it was Russian Federation, notwithstanding the fact that it's actually Putin's narrative that Ukraine did it, not us". Congressional Republicans on Monday released their report ahead of the Democrats, a document that fully defended the President's actions on Ukraine and accused Democrats of rushing to impeach the President without any evidence that Trump did anything wrong.
Democrats found that the July 25 call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky - in which Trump asked Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden - was the "dramatic crescendo" of a months-long campaign driven by the President in Ukraine that involved a number of senior officials, including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.
"No one's talking about Ukraine". But they have been under some pressure from the left and from some liberal lawmakers to keep digging before a final impeachment vote.
Republicans defended the president in their own 123-page rebuttal claiming Trump never meant to pressure Ukraine when he asked for a "favor" - investigations of Democrats and Joe Biden.
Nadler extended an invitation to Trump and his counsel to participate in Wednesday's hearing, but the White House said Sunday that they declined the offer. The president is in London this week for the 2019 North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit.
The House Intelligence Committee and the public have heard testimony from current and former officials that military aid was withheld from Ukraine and that a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was conditioned on Kyiv probing Biden and his son Hunter as well as a debunked conspiracy theory about Ukraine interference in the 2016 United States election.
In reply to Trump and the Republicans' insistence that the investigation has gathered no evidence of wrongdoing, the 300-page report brandishes 100 hours of testimony from 17 witnesses and 30 hours of public hearings.
The report similarly relies on hearsay and presumptions to build the case for other allegations.

With regards to the ufo investigations, I live in Spokane Wa. in July of 1997 while sitting on my back porch in the middle of the afternoon on a day where the sky was partially filled with patches of clouds which appeared to be at two levels meaning that an upper and lower cloud level could be seen as the upper cloud layer was moving in a direction opposite of the lower cloud layer.
While I sat, I looked up at the clouds and observed something that struck me as very strange. There, moving slowly through the upper cloud layer I observed what appeared to be a gun-metal blue, highly polished sphere shaped object that may have been 5,000 ft high. The thing that struck me funny was the fact that this Sphere moved through the clouds in the opposite direction of the clouds movement! It continued traveling in an easterly direction until it was no longer visible due to the clouds cover.
I supposed at the time that it may have been a weather baloon, however, I have never really accepted that explaination as the object appeared to have been moving under its own power instead of drifting along with the clouds that it was unmistakably amidst! My question to you is ,"Have there been reports of similar sightings"? | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'df7bf7b2640947129cad6ee4e3f46fb5dc8a20e69d70c0c9110ffc6280831da0'} |

4. Take the Challenge with the New Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye
Take the Challenge with the New Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye
When Dodge announced the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon production to 3,000 units for the U.S. and 300 for Canada in spring of 2018, they sold out quicker than a Top Fuel Dragster chewing up a dragstrip. Dealers lucky enough to get allotments of Dodge's new 840 hp, over-the-top, muscle car knew what they had and charged a premium well north of the sticker price. Many would-be buyers were left on the sidelines unwilling to pay the piper sitting behind the desk in the showroom. Finding a Demon that hadn't been sold was also an exercise in futility for buyers, while giving certain folks selling Demon's on eBay a tidy profit. This left many gearheads wondering if this was Dodge's supercar swansong, especially since the Viper was already six-feet under. Would anything remotely close in horsepower and tire-shredding capabilities with a Dodge nameplate glued on it ever appear again?
Fear not Mopar faithful, enter the 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye and its less potent, but equally good-looking sibling, the 2019 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody. Once again Dodge knows a good thing and wouldn't let all that Demon goodness be exorcised and banished from our hands and souls. The new Challenger Hellcat Redeye is a Demon that can turn corners and run over 200 mph, while treating its occupants to all the many comforts that include heated and vented leather seats and a booming sound system, not that you need one as the blower whine of the 797 supercharged 6.2L Hemi is music to our ears. What's even better is Dodge will make as many Challenger Redeyes for consumers who'll pay the suggested MSRP of $69,650.
Now, it you're paying attention you caught the 797hp rating on the Redeye and probably thinking, "Whoa, it's less than the Demon." Well, yes, it's down 11 ponies from the Demon's 808 rating with its 91-octane stock controller in place, but trust us, the Redeye's 6.2L Hemi is all Demon inside and out.
Starting from the top, the Redeye gets Demon's 2.7L blower that's moving 14.5 psi, which is a ton of air for a production engine that has to meet warranty durability and stringent emissions standards. The Redeye gets the higher rpm limit that's raised from 6,200 rpm to 6,500 rpm to accommodate all that compressed air goodness. The rotating assembly is also Demon inspired with strengthened connecting rods and pistons to handle the boost, which can tickle almost 15 pounds in really good air.
During the 2019 Challenger Hellcat Redeye and Scat Pack Widebody media ride and drive, Chris Cowland, director of Advanced and SRT Powertrain Engineering, explained to us the major differences between the Demon and Redeye, but they're basically the same under the hood. He also went over the new for 2019 dual-snorkel hood found on the Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye. Love it or hate it (and yes, we've seen the comments on various Mopar and Dodge/SRT enthusiast Facebook pages, saying the new hoodscoops look like they were robbed from a '76 Pontiac Firebird Formula or '71 Olds 442), the new hood works very well, and it has grown on us, especially when staring out the windshield when doing a 130 mph on the front stretch of Club Motorsports in New Hampshire.
First, the 6.2L supercharged Hemi needs a ton of outside, cool, fresh air to make stupid power. The new dual-snorkel hood helps without impacting and adding to the Challenger's already inherent front-end lift and poor aero qualities when running at 170 mph or above. There's also driver-side Air Catcher headlamp carried over from the previous model and an inlet near the wheel liner that helps to move hot air out of the engine compartment.
If you're looking to grab gears and impress your friends by impersonating Ronnie Sox, the Challenger Hellcat Redeye might not be for you. It doesn't come with a third pedal, auto only, but the TorqueFlite 8HP90 eight-speed automatic transmission will plant you firmly in the driver's seat during wide-open throttle upshifts in either Track or Sport mode. If you're feeling a bit like Dan Gurney or Sam Posey, the exhaust will bark angrily and gurgle during rev-matching hard downshifts as you brake for a hard corner.
SRT engineers also improved the driveshaft and made it stronger and added 41-spline axle half-shafts for more beef to the rear differential that has two gear ratios available. Standard is a 2.62 but for you straight-liners, we recommend the optional 3.09 ratio. All Hellcats and even Scat Packs get the high-performance, asymmetric limited slip differential, which can take most of the abuse you throw at it.
The SRT Engineers also made sure the Challenger Redeye would turn corners. Unlike its evil brother from the same mother that had a one-track mind, the Redeye comes with the Hellcat's Adaptive Damping Suspension, gas-charged ADS Bilstein shocks on all four-corners, and 22mm solid stabilizer bar. If bending long sweepers is your thing, we recommend the Widebody version of the Redeye that also gives you the body flairs with Pirelli PZERO 35/35ZR20 three-seasons tires mounted on 20x11 "Devils Rims" that are painted in a low gloss Granite Crystal color that helps to camouflage the massive amounts of brake dust from the six-piston Brembos riding on 390mm vented and slotted rotors. The only penalty for going the Widebody route is the weight, as the Redeye will tip the scales at over 4,492 pounds — and that's a lot of mass. If you decide to order rear seat delete option, it sheds 50 pounds, but regardless, this is a big cat. If you're not into the additional girth, the standard width Challenger Hellcat Redeye comes in at 4,451 pounds and 4,400 if you delete the rear seat. The MSRP for the Redeye will be around $69,650, and Dodge will make as many as you want.
Speaking of Widebody's and hot on the tracks of the 2018 Demon and Hellcat versions, you can order a Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody for 2019. Along with the flairs, and last year's Hellcat hood and front grille, it also carries the same 20x11 wheels and 305/35ZR20 Pirelli PZERO tires found on Redeye/Hellcat Widebody models. With plenty of grunt from the standard 392 Hemi that's making 485 hp and 475 lb.-ft of torque, it seemed more balance on the track, especially with the standard six-speed manual transmission, than its supercharged feline cousin. With a weight distribution of 55/45 versus the Hellcat/Redeye 57/43 ratio, we noticed it immediately when we attacked the first corner at Club Motorsports in Tamworth, New Hampshire.
SRT Vehicle Development Manager, Jim Wilder took us through some of Scat Pack Widebody's features that lay beneath those scrumptious curves. New for 2019 on Scat Pack is Line Lock that'll provide smoky burnouts at will, and launch control that hopefully throws you back in the seat if the pavement has any teeth. There's also three SRT Drive Modes; Street (Auto), Sport, and Track that you can scroll through, depending on your mood swings and driving abilities. The Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody also gets a 14 percent higher spring rate in the front and larger sway bars (34mm versus 32mm front; 21.7mm versus 19mm in the rear). Testing on the skidpad had the Scat Pack Widebody pulling .97 lateral g-force as opposed to .93 for standard R/T models. The Scat Pack Widebody is a deal at $44,995.
For the hard-core drag racing fans who still use satellite radio and navigation, comes the 2019 Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320. Taking numerous pages from the Demon's playbook, SRT engineers created a street-to-strip drag car that'll click off 11.70 e.t. 's at will, while going through the traps at around 115 mph. To keep the price point within reach, the Challenger 1320 is powered by the 485 hp 392 Hemi and is only available with the eight-speed TorqueFlight automatic. Named for the number of feet in the quarter-mile, the 1320 is intended for the grassroots drag racer who's looking to go to his local 'strip on a Test 'n' Tune session and get the 11-second slip.
Inside the Challenger 1320 you'll find tons of cool Demonic stuff such as Adaptive Damping Suspension with Drag Mode, Line Lock, TransBrake, Torque Reserve, and extreme-duty 41-spline half shafts from the Demon attached to a severe-duty asymmetrical limited-slip differential with a 3.09 axle ratio. It'll send all that HEMI torque to the Nexen SUR4G 275/40R20 street-legal drag radials.
Like the Demon, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 has a standard interior configuration of a driver seat only that knocks off 114 pounds. Since it's not much fun cruising by yourself, we figure most 1320 buyers will spend $1 and order the front passenger seat and maybe another buck for the rear seat. The price for all this drag race fame has a MSRP of $42,990 but for an 11-second ride with that new car smell and a warranty, it's an awesome deal.
There's certainly something for everyone in the 2019 Dodge Challenger lineup. Many flavors options, you can go fast with any budget. Despite being on the same basic platform for over a decade, the Dodge/SRT designers and engineers never fail to disappoint, and they reach into their war chest and create new weapons of mass destruction to inflict on Camaro and Mustang owners. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '12', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9413838386535645}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '161404', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:QNEO565QC4AZODYFOB3SCWHTRL5QGY55', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:72c109a8-964b-4540-ad6e-606d70f6fdd8>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 21, 6, 18, 28), 'WARC-IP-Address': '23.12.147.73', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:K6EXYJC7V7R72AHKFFMKAKZ7ASAHXDCI', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:6c69a651-0b1e-4f20-9c4d-238471605f8b>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'https://www.hotrod.com/articles/take-challenge-new-dodge-challenger-hellcat-redeye/', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:0af8c03f-ea9b-498b-8ea1-e66c497c71e3>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '1556', 'url': 'https://www.hotrod.com/articles/take-challenge-new-dodge-challenger-hellcat-redeye/', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2021-04\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for January 2021\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-67-67-206.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.17 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.2-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.03172880411148071', 'original_id': '0166d3a5ff4bab902644c2bbe1d7b600af0876a7415058e37c8e0727d053b707'} |
District 26 plans to bring back more specials
Hiring the additional staff will lead to 11.5 new full-time positions
CARY – More staff members, who would be assigned to teach noncore classes, are set to be employed by District 26.
Under a staffing plan proposed by school administrators, District 26 plans to bring back media center, foreign language, computer technology teachers and band directors, among other positions.
The school board is scheduled to vote on the proposed staffing plan at its meeting on Monday.
Dedicated staff members to teach foreign language, health and computer technology at Cary Junior High are part of the Phase 2 return of specials. Specials were part of the major cuts the district underwent several years ago.
Junior high students will have six weeks each of health, art, music, foreign language and technology, as well as daily physical education.
The school district also plans to employ band directors, which have been paid for by the Cary Band Association since 2010-11 school year.
Cary Band Association President Scott Sampson said he looks forward to working with the district in the transition.
Even though the band association asked the district to take over the band program again, Sampson said the band association would continue to work with the district in some capacity.
The district is projecting it will have 1.5 positions for the fifth- through eighth-grade band program, but that might change depending on how many people sign up, said Superintendent Brian Coleman. Sampson said he anticipates more students to participate with the district running the band program.
At the district’s elementary schools, art and music instruction would be doubled from 30 minutes a week to one hour a week under the plan.
The district also plans to add three learning center/media teachers, who will help elementary school students when they go to the schools’ libraries for a half hour a week.The district also plans to add a technology support specialist, as the district starts to use more iPads and SMART Boards.
“As we move forward and add these devices, it makes sense, and really is a necessity, that we maintain the devices and provide the maintenance for those,” Coleman said.
Hiring the additional staff will lead to 11.5 new full-time positions.
The district is projecting it will have a net loss of 92 students district wide, which is part of the continuing trend of declining enrollment. Because of that decline, the district plans to cut one classroom teacher.
However, the district expects enrollment trends to stabilize in a few years.
The net gain in teachers in the district is 10.5 positions.
Average class sizes in the district are expected to drop to 23.8 students from 25.5 students.
“We’re in good shape with our class sizes,” Coleman said.
As part of the staffing plan, the district plans to hire new teachers at the base salary for the new positions and for replacements for retirees.
However, in order to keep continuity of the band program, the district might stray off that guideline, Coleman said.
The estimated cost for the new positions is $488,250, which has been incorporated into the district’s financial plan.
“Moving forward, we feel the plan that we’re going to recommend on Monday is affordable over the next several years,” Coleman said. “It’s sustainable based on our financial projections.”
What’s next?
The School District 26 Board is scheduled to vote on the staffing plan at its meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at Cary Junior High at 2109 Crystal Lake Road. | mini_pile | {'original_id': 'bb84ff3f56ce3dde7dffb6fa4863cc92aac6bbbe745492d077d8af9dca4376fd'} |
Time Management Tips
Pick up some time management tips from graphic design consultant Chanelle Henry in this Howcast video.
So how does one effectively manage their time. It's something that I know I have a hard time with, and most of the time, I'm always trying out a new technique or a new tool. But one thing that I have realized is that the human body needs to move. So one of the things that I have I guess taken on is the Pomodoro Technique, which is 25 minutes of productivity, 5 minute break; 25 minutes of productivity, 5 minute break. Four cycles of that and then you get a 30 minute break.
Now sometimes I'm really into something, and my hyper-focus is turned on and then, I will literally just be in it for however long it takes. Whether it's two hours, but still making sure that I have timer's that are set. So a timer that I use that's online is Harvest and Harvest is a monthly service that you have to pay for. But the cool part about it is, not only does it track your time on your computer as well as on your mobile device, but you can also, with the time that it does track, you can easily turn into invoices that can be sent to your clients, as well as setup reminders for those clients, so that they'll pay on time.
So you can send a two-day reminder, every two days remind this client that they owe me $1000, or every 15 days. Something else that I use is a site called Egg Timer and you can actually set how much time you need to spend on a particular item, and it's just like egg.timer.com/slash the time that you need. Then there's like a big bell that rings that lets you know, "Stop whatever you're doing." A lot of the times, we can get so wrapped up into stuff that we spend so much time. The good thing is to know, "Okay, this shouldn't take me anymore than 25 minutes, so let me do it in 25 minutes."
If you see yourself stalling or going into other things, then you can kind of see where your productivity is basically being attacked. Rescue time is also something that's really good. That lets you know what you're actually spending your time on. So it'll say, "Hey, you're on Facebook for like, two hours. Maybe you might want to cut that out." So there's a lot of really cool tools that help you to, not only keep track of your time, but also to keep track of your anxiety about the time, and help eliminate. Also, then help with focus and concentration to make sure that time management is not only effective, but efficient.

Being outside can improve memory, fight depression, and lower blood pressure — here are 12 science-backed reasons to spend more time outdoors
hawaii woman hiking cliff hawaii woman hiking cliff
Spending time outside will improve your physical and mental health.
• So go spend some time "forest-bathing" to improve your health.
In her book, "The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes Us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative," journalist Florence Williams writes that she started investigating the health benefits of nature after moving from the mountainous terrain of Boulder, Colorado, to what she describes as "the anti-Arcadia that is the nation's capital": Washington, DC.
"I felt disoriented, overwhelmed, depressed," she wrote. "My mind had trouble focusing. I couldn't finish thoughts. I couldn't make decisions and I wasn't keen to get out of bed."
We don't all need to move to beautiful places like Boulder — there are good reasons for many of us to live in bigger cities.
But humans do need to spend time in natural environments if they want to improve their physical and mental health. That could mean taking advantage of hiking trails near your home, playing in the snow, swimming in the ocean, or just spending time every week in a local park.
Here are 12 reasons why it's so important.
Walking in nature could improve your short-term memory.

Several studies show that nature walks have memory-promoting effects that other walks don't.
In one study, University of Michigan students were given a brief memory test, then divided into two groups. One group took a walk around an arboretum, and the other took a walk down a city street. When the participants returned and did the test again, those who had walked among trees did almost 20% percent better than they had first time. The people who had taken in city sights instead did not consistently improve.
Being outdoors has a demonstrated de-stressing effect.

Something about being outside changes the physical expression of stress in the body.
Spending time outside reduces inflammation.

When inflammation goes into overdrive, it's associated with a wide range of ills, including autoimmune disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, depression, and cancer. Spending time in nature may be one way to help keep that in check.
In one study, students who spent time in the forest had lower levels of inflammation than those who spent time in the city. In another, elderly patients who had been sent on a weeklong trip into the forest showed reduced signs of inflammation. There were some indications that the woodsy jaunt had a positive effect on those patients' hypertension levels as well.
Enjoying the outdoors helps eliminate fatigue.

You know that feeling when your brain seems to be sputtering to a halt? Researchers call that "mental fatigue."
Outdoor experiences may help fight depression and anxiety.

Anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues may all be eased by some time in nature — especially when that's combined with exercise.
"Every green environment improved both self-esteem and mood," found an analysis of 10 earlier studies about so-called "green exercise." That review also indicated that "the mentally ill had one of the greatest self-esteem improvements."
The presence of water made the positive effects even stronger, the findings suggested.
Being outside may protect your vision.
At least in children, a fairly large body of research has found that outdoor activity may have a protective effect on the eyes and reduce the risk of developing nearsightedness (myopia).
"Increasing time spent outdoors may be a simple strategy by which to reduce the risk of developing myopia and its progression in children and adolescents," a 2012 review of the research concluded.
Spending time outside lowers blood pressure.

With all these other salutary effects, it's no surprise that outdoor time — which usually involves walking — lowers blood pressure too.
That effect has been demonstrated by a number of studies. One intensive study of 280 participants in Japan found that along with decreasing stress hormone concentrations by more than 15%, a walk in the forest lowered participants' average pulse by almost 4% and blood pressure by just over 2%.
It could improve your ability to focus.

We know the natural environment is "restorative" — that even applies to your waning attention.
In one study, researchers worked to deplete participants' ability to focus. Then some people took a walk in nature, others took a walk through the city, and the rest just relaxed. When everyone returned, the nature group scored the best on a proofreading task.
The attention-improving effect of nature is so strong it might even help kids with ADHD: they've been found to concentrate better after just 20 minutes in a park.
You may perform better on creative tasks after being outside.

Another study found that people immersed in nature for four days boosted their performance on a creative problem-solving test by 50%.
Outdoor sessions may even help prevent cancer.

Boosts in the levels of these proteins that people get from being in the woods may may last up to seven days after the trip.
Studies in Japan, where "shinrin-yoku" or "forest-bathing" is considered a form of preventative medicine, have also found that areas with greater forest coverage have lower mortality rates from a wide variety of cancers.
While there are too many confounding factors to come to a definitive conclusion about what this might mean, it's a promising area for future research.
Forests also might boost your immune system.

The cellular activity associated with a forest's possible anti-cancer effects is also indicative of a general boost to the immune system (the body's natural ability to fight off less serious ills like colds, flus, and other infections).
A 2010 review of research related to this effect noted that "all of these findings strongly suggest that forest environments have beneficial effects on human immune function." But the researchers acknowledged that more research on the relationship is still needed.
With all this, it's not surprising that outdoor time is associated with a lower overall risk of early death.

recent study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found a similar connection: greater exposure to greenness was associated with a 12% lower mortality rate. The biggest improvements were related to reduced risk of death from cancer, lung disease, and kidney disease.

Pieces of April – Peter Hedges (2003)
Thanksgiving has to be the most forgotten holiday in film history. Rightly so, in my opinion. Still, while plenty of movies have Thanksgiving scenes in them, very few are actually about Thanksgiving. Television might actually have the best track record for Turkey Day. Roseanne used to do good thanksgiving episodes, especially the episode “Angstgiving”, but on every show, every year, it was essentially the same thing: kooky family fights, eventually finds its heart, but not in a sappy way, eats pie.
This is all of our families, and there is very little variation on the theme, so its mostly worthless to revisit it.
But Peter Hedges’ Pieces of April is as admirable an attempt to try to rend something good out of this terribly mediocre day that you are likely to find. Except for Planes, Trains and Automobiles, which is just a great movie period, Pieces of April stands as Thanksgiving’s lone pure digestible drama.
In it, Katie Holmes plays April, the black sheep of the excessively straight-laced Burns family. Her parents, Jim and Joy (Oliver Platt and Patricia Clarkson), have created something of a model of suburban life, with two goody-goody children in the sticks of New Jersey, except for the fact they’ve spawned this thing called April, who lies and cheats and takes drugs and sets fires (etc).
It’s put a great strain on the Burns family, who have mostly scrubbed April out of their daily lives. She remains in spirit and imprint, as the bad one, or as April puts it, the “first pancake”, the one which you are supposed to throw away, but how badly Joy and her other daughter, Beth (Alison Pill), would love it if she didn’t exist.
Because Joy is sick with cancer, they have decided to drive to New York to have Thanksgiving with April, because this may be the last opportunity to be together. It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without some strife though, and the ride into the City, and April’s adventures in cooking reveal much of the dysfunction in the family: the mistrust, the fear, the angst. Joy must confront the fact that as much as April was a bad daughter, she was perhaps an equally bad mother. Much of it is deflected with humor, but the humor can’t gloss over the fact that Joy’s favorite memory of April turns out to actually be a memory of Beth.
April lies in deep contrast to her younger sister, who is perky and blonde, and has no tattoos or strange piercings. She’s never set anything on fire or shoplifted, and could have easily cooked a much better meal than April. She keeps herself in line, smiling through the offhanded insults from her mother so she can be the good daughter, if only because April has ruined being bad for her.
Allison Pill is the real underrated part of the film. She is note perfect in this role, hiding the bruises and awkwardness behind a cheery smile. It’s not hard to see the hurt in her smile, or the discomfort swirling around in her brain, but its done with a deft subtlety. Beth craves attention in the shadow of April so much, but only positive attention. Sure, that’s what pretty much everyone desires, but Beth takes it a step further, freaking out at anyone who sees her even doing something even slightly imperfect, like adjusting her retainer. It’s great that Alison Pill is getting recognition now, landing roles in MilkScott Pilgrim and even as Zelda Fitzgerald inMidnight in Paris.
But the blow of April’s shady, misfit, possibly criminal past is softened a bit too much by the adorable, un-aggressive Katie Holmes, who wanders through the film with her big eyes and her adult pigtails being impossible to hate. She is a little too vulnerable for someone who has supposedly ruined a family. (Maybe that’s a little bit of the point?) Isolated from that fact, Katie Holmes is wonderful in the role, though. It actually gave me hope at the time that she would break out of her Dawson’s Creek-Kevin Williamson shit phase and blossom into a great young actress.
That never happened, of course. She went on to marry Tom Cruise in lieu of having a real career, though they did produce the most unbearably adorable little person ever in the world together. And Batman, I guess. Mad Money? Not so much.
I do actually find myself revisiting this film every year. I played Planes, Trains and Automobilesout way too early in life, so this has to suffice, even though it’s not perfect. Like I said, it’s digestible, and Alison Pill and Oliver Platt, whom I would gladly watch painting his garage, are always worth revisits.
When you boils this down to its elements, though, what’s it about? It’s about a kooky family who fights, eventually finds its heart and even finds a redefinition of family. But not in a sappy way.
Melancholia – Lars Von Trier (2011)
As published at 629 words: http://orlandoweekly.com/film/melancholia-1.1236618
The original, unedited draft at 1,243 words:
Von Trier’s Melancholia is new and the same, but brilliant either way
By: Rob Boylan
Stars: 5
T. S. Eliot wrote that the world ends not with a bang but a whimper. In Melancholia, Danish director Lars Von Trier’s latest ode to the triumph of the human spirit, it ends with both. In it, Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg are sisters facing the end of the world, as an onrushing rogue planet threatens to pass through Earth’s orbit and the Earth itself.
Dunst, in a breakthrough performance, plays the pretty younger sister, Justine, a newlywed with a building tide of emotional problems threatening to capsize her life, and, in the immediate, her wedding reception. She’s been like this before, but is warned “not tonight”, and throughout the reception people try to buy her off, buy her happiness: her new husband, Michael (Alexander Skarsgard), gives her an apple orchard where she can go sit to feel happy when she is sad; her brother in law, John (Keifer Sutherland), with the stupidly lavish party that would cost a normal person an arm and a leg (something that he constantly reminds us of). John goes so far to ask her for a deal: he will consider it money well spent if she agrees to be happy. Happiness doesn’t work like that, though. When an attempt is made to buy happiness and it fails, it makes the sadness grow even deeper and distort itself. In Melancholia this sadness happens to manifest itself in the specter of a planet on a collision course with the Earth. It seems to be no coincidence in timing that the planet Melancholia blots out Antares on this night, and surges towards the Earth, growing bigger as Justine falls deeper into her widening depression.
In the second half of the film, the focus turns to Claire (Gainsbourg), the sensible older sister who tries to keep all of their lives together. She is fighting a losing battle. Eventually, even Claire has a moment of weakness when she tries and fails to buy Justine’s happiness with a sentimental favorite dinner, meatloaf, which only makes Justine cry when it tastes like ash.
If you could say that the first half is about Justine’s building dam of depression, you would have to say that the second half is about Claire coming undone by fear. By now, Melancholia is just days away Earth, and even though John insists it will miss, Claire has fallen victim to the doomsayers. It’s just as vicious an uncontrolled spiral as Justine’s depression, though it’s based in a logical reasoning, not a chemical one. To quickly break the difference down, you could say that fear is something that is easily manipulated, while depression is a reinforced brick wall. The logic of seeing a planet come so close to Earth that it steals part of our atmosphere and makes it snow during the summer can naturally cause one to become very illogical.
Melancholia is both a touchdown on new ground and a revisit to old familiar ground for Von Trier. He has never done anything quite so beautiful and visionary, which is something he had doubts about along the way, but some of the more down to earth elements are familiar from his past. Breaking the Waves, too, begins at the wedding of an unstable girl and follows her through her emotional descent. Bess (Emily Watson), a member of an ascetic protestant church in the Scottish highlands, manifests her problems with attachments: to Jan (Stellan Skarsgard), her new husband, to Dodo (Katrin Cartlidge), he sister in law, but most especially to God, who she talks to and gets damning replies from. This God is in her head, speaks through her mouth, but to her is as real as the air she breathes.
But where Justine is on her own, circling the drain in her own head, Bess is egged on in her downward spiral by Jan and by her own immense guilt. There is no hint in Melancholia that Justine has ever felt any kind of guilt. She is not crazy or delusional, she’s systemically imbalanced. Still, she says she knows things about life, things she shouldn’t know. Trivial things, like the answer to the bean count contest at her wedding, but also that life on Earth is all there is in the universe, and it won’t be missed. Life, she knows, is evil, and deserving of its fate. Does she know, or is she just insisting? Dunst brilliantly straddles the edge of crazy and childlike in this scene to the point where it’s difficult to get a read of her character. Her demeanor is calm to the point of unnerving, but when she is challenged by Claire over what she knows, she recedes into the guise of a hurt two year old whose mommy won’t believe her wild story. Claire is right to not believe her story, if only for her own sanity, so she doesn’t go to pieces in front of her child.
It’s actually been gnawing at me that the prologue — which features key scenes from the film in a 10 minutes slow motion ballet set to Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde — is not really a prologue, but a representation of an idea coming into an increasingly despairing Justine’s head. I don’t mean that to sound as simple as a The Cabinet of Caligari, and it’s not a mindfuck movie, but there is a fair case to be made for it. Depression ultimately leads to self-absorption, self-loathing and the loathing of all those around you. Destroying the planet is as natural a thought as any in that state. Justine seems to allude to it most clearly when she says, somewhat matter-of-factly, that “this has nothing to do with the village” as Claire, in her most illogical moment, tries to flee to the nearby village, to run away from Melancholia as it is about to strike.
Claire cannot make out of the family’s grounds, just like her character seemed to be stuck in the idyllic Edenin Antichrist. Being stuck in time and space is fairly common to Von Trier films, in fact. In Europa, Kessler (Jean Marc Barr), cannot escape the odd post-war Germany that he finds himself in. In Dogville, Grace (Nicole Kidman), manages to briefly escape, only to be raped and promptly brought back to the town she is a captive of. Even in Breaking the Waves, Bess is rooted so deeply to her town that, despite excommunicated by her church, she can’t manage get very far away either.
In contrast to Antichrist or Europa, though, the power that controls the world of Melancholia seems to always belong to Justine. She seems to be willing all of this to happen, even though she does seem afraid of it at points too. As the film opens, she literally wields the power, spraying stray electricity from her fingers as the world collapses around her, like the God of her dollhouse world. If a planetary collision doesn’t concern the nearby village, just who does it concern anyway?
The bottom line is that Melancholia isn’t a one and done film. It’s a film that can easily be dismissed on face value, waived off with the intellectually lazy “first world problems” wand, but actually contains complex, rich core deep down. It’s an overwhelming film as a first viewing, though, and Von Trier doesn’t make anything about it easy. Nor should he.
Drei – Tom Tykwer (2011)
Before this, I had kind of given up on Tom Tykwer as a director. A former favorite of mine, the guy who directed Run, Lola, Run, The Princess and the Warrior and the sublime Heaven, had, it seemed gone Hollywood, making the thoroughly mediocre efforts Perfume and The International. Then he’d signed up to do the adaptation of David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas with the dreaded Wachowskis. What happened to the psycho-brilliant craftsman and artist I’d grown to love?
Nothing, really. It’s on me for forcing the man into a box and expecting him not to change. After all, who would say no to Dustin Hoffman or Naomi Watts?
But it was still with some trepidation that I went into Drei, Tykwer’s first German film in over a decade. It’s the kind of subtle, naughty black comedy that seems sincere at first, before you suddenly go, “oh!” and slap yourself on the forehead.
The film is about Hanna (Sophie Rois) and Simon (Sebastian Schipper), a modern Berlin couple in their mid-30s. They are well off, but never married, have no kids, and have no real plans to do either. They are the kind of couple, Simon argues, where both parties would fight against having custody of the child should they find themselves getting divorced. As a couple, they seem to be at a crossroads brought on by age and complacency, and both throw themselves into their work to skirt around the subject.
Simon’s life changes within the space of an afternoon when he is told he hast testicular cancer and must go under the knife right away. Simon tries, but is unable to get hold of Hanna on her cell to tell her because she has met another man, Adam (Devid Striesow), and gone off with him.
During his rehabilitation, Simon will meet the same man and do the same.
It’s a somewhat preposterous conceit, that two people could fall in love with the same man without any of them realizing, but Tykwer forces the suspension of disbelief down on the audience through force, filling the screen with every flex of modern fairytale muscle he can summon. In another director’s hands this would probably be a straight screwball comedy, but with Tykwer at the helm the humor is very wry and only glanced upon in passing. You have to find the humor on your own because the film isn’t going to help you find it.
Even with the bit of hard work it asks of the audience, the film does work in stretches. Sophie Rois is great as the manic Hanna and Sebastian Schipper actually does appear to morph right there on screen. But the film too often teeters over the edge with Tykwer just playing with his characters instead of storytelling, like a cat that’s got a mouse by its tail. Hanna, Simon and Adam are tortured for our delight and from time to time it’s a devilishly enjoyable sight, but there isn’t enough behind it to enjoy without reservation. There is enough here to like for Tywker loyalists, but it amounts to little more than a dose of filmic methadone to keep us going. It’s all right, but it’s not exactly the hit that we wanted.
Not one to let a in-joke get away, the number three continually pops up throughout the film. Yes, there are three of them in the relationship, but also there are three children fathered by Adam. Hanna and Adam start their affair during their third meeting. Officially, it’s also the third visit to the pool boat where Adam and Simon become a thing. And, to be blunt, after Simon’s surgery, there are three testicles left in the three-way relationship.
Margin Call – JC Chandor (2011)
I know almost nothing about wall street, and I openly admit it. I have a bit of a mathematical block in my head. Numbers don’t make sense to me. Words do. In fact, it’s a bit like Kelly Bundy disease. Every one thing I learn about English, it pushes one piece of mathematical knowledge out of my head. By the time I’m 50, I may have read the entire Dostoevsky, but I’ll be unable to do 2+2.
I’m kept company by the writer of this article for Exiled Online, who not only knows as little about Wall Street as I do, but cannot, it seems, read fairly basic dramatic structure.
This is the part that drove me the most crazy:
“Its main premise: Sure these Wall Street guys can be a bunch of greedy gamblers, but they didn’t blow up the economy on purpose.”
Uh, yeah, that’s pretty much the opposite of what the films is about. The film is about what happens to the conscience when such huge sums or money are at stake. The conscience simply goes away. The conscience is promoted into feeling good about the evil it is letting go. Zachary Quinto’s character doesn’t stop anything from happening. Stanley Tucci’s character doesn’t stop anything from happening. Neither does Kevin Spacey’s, or Demi Moore’s. They are given bonuses, or simply turn a blind eye, no matter how disturbed a blind eye.
The longest scenes in the film are about how to hoodwink the rest of the firms on Wall Street by flooding the market with the assets that they know to be worthless, selling them to hapless firms, convincing them that they are buying up at a “bargain” to pull the wool over their eyes. Why? Why would they ruin the world like this? $2.7m in bonuses. Don’t feel bad for the hoodwinked firms, though. It’s something any of them would have done themselves if they caught on to the problem first — which is, of course, a pure distillation of evil.
Really, the best scene in the film was the one with Simon Baker and Demi Moore in the elevator talking about what’s about to happen with the cleaning lady standing between them and she has no idea what is about to happen.
Here’s a hint: we’re the cleaning lady.
But is it propaganda? To a certain type of person it it. To the rest of us, not. But to the same kind of person who idolized Gordon Gekko — remember the disgusting scene in Boiler Room where they know his speech by heart? — it might get them drooling a little about the potential bonuses as long as they, too, had an ethical bypass at birth.
Dogma – Kevin Smith (1999)
God is all knowing and infallible. Whether in Catholic school, CCD, or just from your parents, you are taught that at an early age. As a kid, I imagined God as an invisible man looking over my shoulder at everything I did. Everything. God was ever present, all knowing, and, hopefully, approving. He didn’t take sabbaticals to go to the Jersey Shore and play pinball.
Did he?
Did she?
In Kevin Smith’s Dogma, God does, and apparently is not all knowing, allowing himself (Bud Cort) to be jumped by demonic triplets wielding hockey sticks, thus falling into a coma.
Two banished angels, Bartleby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon), mean to exploit this absence. Years before, they had been sent by an angry God to suffer for the rest of time in Wisconsin. Needless to say, they’ve grown tired of the Cheesehead state, but more than that, they’ve grown tired of seeing these lesser being — humans — treated with favor by God. Together, with the guidance of Azrael (Jason Lee), they set out for a New Jersey church to exploit a loophole in dogmatic law and make their way back into Heaven.
Religion has always been a wonderful foil for comedy, and none better to poke fun at than Catholicism, who, even with the late rash of evangelical gay sex scandals, still deserves it the most. The film’s main conceit is that man is essentially the flaw in God’s plan. It riffs on the biggest pain in the ass in the history of religious pains in the ass: indulgences. They were one of Martin Luther’s main sticking points in the 1500s, so this isn’t exactly new, but a clever spin on an old problem, though it is more stupidity that causes the ill will here than greed.
The powers that be in Heaven have, of course, caught wind of this plan and have sent the Metatron (Alan Rickman) to rally troops to stop them. Enter Bethany (Linda Fiorentino), a lapsed Catholic; Rufus (Chris Rock), the black 13th apostle who is pissed about being written out of the Bible; Serendipity (Salma Hayek), a muse-slash-stripper; and Jay and Silent Bob (Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith), the lost New Jersey prophets.
As the motley crew crosses the country they are chased by the hockey stick wielding triplets, and the ever-popular rubber poop monster (voiced by Ethan Suplee), but mostly they just get in their own way. Bethany’s crisis of faith, especially, is something that holds them back. It’s something she just can’t get past, despite having been visited by, you know, an angel — the angel, even. I suppose it’s natural to be suspicious when the help you are given come in the form of Jay and Silent Bob, though, who themselves are wondering why they haven’t yet prophesized anything.
It turns to be not so cut and dry for Bartleby and Loki though. Having been banished to Earth for eternity by God, should they pass through the gates of the Holy Mother Church, a loophole in biblical dogma would have proved God wrong by readmitting the two rogue angels, thus obliterating all existence. It’s exactly what Azrael, another muse who was banished to hell for draft dodging, is banking on. Hell is apparently worse than Wisconsin. I always thought it was a tie.
But despite the 500 year old, well essayed problem, the film exudes and undeniable freshness, and that is entirely down to the equal measures of playfulness and authority in Kevin Smith’s writing. There has never quite been a film like this, and I don’t think there ever will be again (thanks to its box office numbers). Regardless, his jokes are spot on, topical and unflinchingly in the know.
That was, I think, the main problem with Red State. Smith didn’t live in that culture, so it doesn’t ring as authentic. But he grew up in the same kind of Irish-Catholic household that I did, right down to the clueless priests trying to make Catholicism cool for kids and teenagers. He has Cardinal Glick and the Buddy Christ; I had cool Father F**** (I don’t want to out the guy since Google has plenty of articles on him — no, not those kinds of articles) and the Catholic magician whose name I’ve since stamped out of my memory. Still, it amounts to the same thing in the end. Catholicism has more problems than solutions, has made more mistakes than goodness, and is often too aloof to bear, but it makes a lifelong mark on anyone its comes into contact with, whether they like it or not. Like I said, though, it’s a biased view. To me, every joke in the film works both as a joke and as a skewer. Red State didn’t get the joke or the skewer right.
More than a religious document, though, Dogma is a road movie with a stoner comedy flair. Religion is just its topic, not its genre. And it’s such a smart and candid film. It was a growth spurt in filmmaking balls by Smith, one that bears its puny-muscled action set piece muscle with its tongue planted as firmly in its cheek as during it’s comedy set pieces. I’m not sure what happened to Kevin Smith from then until now. His life changed during Dogma, I guess, when he met his wife and started a family. He mellowed, or just stopped being the kid he was. He’s thrown a lot of darts at the board since, and most have ended up somewhere in the wall outside of the board.
I suppose it’s just that some directors have a shelf life. The long distance filmmakers, like Scorsese or Spielberg or Ford, are the anomalies, not the rule. How many of those indie wave filmmakers are still around? Even Tarantino has waned somewhat. Sundance isn’t so kind when it comes to longevity. You can only tell the same jokes for so long before you need new material, and going from stoner comedies to the more adult themes Smith was experiencing in his life just didn’t find the spark it needed when it came to filmmaking.
The World of Henry Orient – George Roy Hill (1964)
I’m an absolute sucker for a good stalker comedy. Whether it be AmeliePunch Drunk Love or Hana and Alice, there is just something so wonderfully off about them that it makes me happy. Just knowing that the stalkers are harmless and generally good-natured takes entirely all of the creepiness out of what, in reality, is a pretty despicable act. And The World of Henry Orient may actually be the best of the genre.
It stars Tippy Walker and Merrie Spaeth as Val and Gil, a pair of mischievous high school loners who meet, hit it off and along the way accidentally ruin Henry Orient’s (Peter Sellers) liaison with a married woman while playacting in Central Park. And then again. But when they ruin a second liaison between Henry and the woman, something happens to Val: she falls madly in love with him, buys all of his records and, with Gil, creates the Henry Orient Bible, a handmade diary full of press clippings and photographs and a fake love letter that Val keeps meaning to reply to.
The object of Val’s love, Henry Orient, is a middling-to-bad pianist and ladies man, the top billing who has to escape the concert hall through a posse of refund seekers, so bad are his avant garde stylings. He doesn’t practice enough, says Val, who, before meeting Gil, was all alone and practiced too much.
We never see films like this anymore, films that prize sweetness and mischievousness over cynicism and edginess. Cynicism and edginess absolutely have their great points, but have been so done over and over again that a film like Henry Orient is a breath of fresh air, a cup of cold water in the face and a joy to watch. If you don’t have a grin stuck on your face for almost the entire film, then I don’t know what is wrong with you.
So what is it about The World of Henry Orient? Is it sunshine and roses, a tale of rich girl Eloise-types running around Manhattan in a bulletproof bubble or privilege?
Hmm, yes and no. There is an air of privilege, and neither girl is about to starve to death. But their stories told in bullet point wouldn’t be terribly different from a youth film that would be made today. Both girls come from broken or breaking homes, chase an older man, screw with authority, and eventually, dabble in the early stages of sex. Yet it remains light and fun.
Val’s father (Tom Bosley) spends all his time traveling for work, and her mother (Angela Lansbury) spends all her time going behind his back with piano players. She is left alone in an apartment with a maid/babysitter and essentially left to own devices. Her shrink sees more of her than her parents.
Gil, too, has family issues. Her parents divorced when she was a baby, and she now lives on the Upper West Side with her mother (Phyllis Thaxter) and her mother’s “friend”, Boothy (Bibi Osterwald). Even though she is happy living with her mother and Boothy, and loves them both, she longs for a normal family life, where father comes home at 6:30 and greets her and her mother.
Things get somewhat serious, though, when Val’s mother snoops through her room and finds the Henry Orient Bible. She demands to know what it is all about, but her mind is already decided what it is about and she has no interest in listening to the answer Val and Gil try to give her.
Towards the end of the film, there is a line by Val that really perfectly sums the film up. It is “awfully happy in a sad sorta way”. The act of coming of age is a sorta sad one, after all. Gone are the days of braces and pig tails and hair ribbons (or pet frogs and racing bikes, if you will), replaced with makeup and boys and the desperate race to grow up too fast. You only miss the younger days later though, and then you feel terribly nostalgic for them, because they didn’t last nearly as long as they should have, and the prize for winning the race to grow up isn’t as nice and shiny as it looked from the starting line. And so The World of Henry Orient stands as a great document of fun, of mischievousness, and a time when film was allowed to reflect the underlying spirit of the world instead of the ugly, bloody image of the world. | dclm_baseline | {'bff_contained_ngram_count_before_dedupe': '1', 'language_id_whole_page_fasttext': "{'en': 0.9629021286964417}", 'metadata': "{'Content-Length': '77715', 'Content-Type': 'application/http; msgtype=response', 'WARC-Block-Digest': 'sha1:VPWBXHLYQW64GWRW7445G5J3U3WUOXQB', 'WARC-Concurrent-To': '<urn:uuid:5486291c-4b11-4f6c-96f2-c8d98d617222>', 'WARC-Date': datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 24, 6, 31, 47), 'WARC-IP-Address': '208.113.172.223', 'WARC-Identified-Payload-Type': 'text/html', 'WARC-Payload-Digest': 'sha1:6FKEK5Z3Z36OKO3RESFEXDABRXV3FA7G', 'WARC-Record-ID': '<urn:uuid:a4b79c0b-8132-4419-9c60-75c0b247a485>', 'WARC-Target-URI': 'http://rb.lifeasfiction.com/?m=201111', 'WARC-Type': 'response', 'WARC-Warcinfo-ID': '<urn:uuid:23e08bc2-a111-4ee2-afa1-29e23c6e768b>', 'WARC-Truncated': None}", 'previous_word_count': '4850', 'url': 'http://rb.lifeasfiction.com/?m=201111', 'warcinfo': 'isPartOf: CC-MAIN-2019-18\r\npublisher: Common Crawl\r\ndescription: Wide crawl of the web for April 2019\r\noperator: Common Crawl Admin (info@commoncrawl.org)\r\nhostname: ip-10-230-181-38.ec2.internal\r\nsoftware: Apache Nutch 1.15 (modified, https://github.com/commoncrawl/nutch/)\r\nrobots: checked via crawler-commons 1.1-SNAPSHOT (https://github.com/crawler-commons/crawler-commons)\r\nformat: WARC File Format 1.1\r\nconformsTo: http://iipc.github.io/warc-specifications/specifications/warc-format/warc-1.1/', 'fasttext_openhermes_reddit_eli5_vs_rw_v2_bigram_200k_train_prob': '0.019955158233642578', 'original_id': '87363fd02c79a371f6b5005c05e00074d815f12695a2c6c9bcbe24332e0f5ffa'} |
Will This Boring Market Bode Well for the Bulls?

Will This Boring Market Bode Well for the Bulls?
With the bond market closed for Veterans Day and no significant economic data to create activity, the major indices traded in a very narrow range. The S&P 500 spent the entire session trading within a 5-point range However, the Dow rose enough to establish a new closing high, and the small-cap Russell 2000 index was up 0.1%, outperforming all other indices.
The markets may get more active as the week progresses with the confirmation hearing of Janet Yellen for Federal Reserve Chairwoman.
At Monday’s close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 21 points to 15,783, the S&P 500 gained 1 point to 1,772, and the Nasdaq also rose a point to 3,920. The NYSE traded 537 million shares and the Nasdaq crossed 399 million. Advancers and decliners were virtually even on both major exchanges.
The chart of the small-cap Russell 2000 and mid-cap Nasdaq are similar — the former leaders are now the reluctant followers. Even though the Russell’s MACD is oversold, there seem to be few buyers to push it higher.
Currently, this index, which is usually one of the most volatile, is trading between its 50-day moving average at 1,079 and its 20-day at 1,105. However, only the near-term trend is down. The intermediate- and long-term trends are still bullish.
The current market leader is the blue-chip Dow. This group of 30 of the mightiest companies in the world plowed to a new closing high with a not-so-hefty gain of 21 points and volume that ranks in the lowest 20% of the year.
Conclusion: They say “never sell a dull market.” If that is true, then we must be headed for much higher ground since Monday was as dull as I’ve ever experienced. Everyone seems just a bit confused, and perhaps that’s the reason for the lethargy.
Jeffrey Saut of Raymond James pointed out that while the NYSE McClellan oscillator is in deeply oversold territory, none of the 10 S&P macro sectors is oversold — a contradiction that may be resolved this week.
Despite Monday’s sleeper, how this week ends could point us to the market’s direction for the remainder of 2013.

Cycle Steps
The route is mainly on a cycle path (Route 65) although there is occasionally some on road, but these are relatively quiet roads. The route follows the A19 , but there is a cycle path separate from the road. I could only roughly mark on where the route goes when it doesn't follow roads, but once you're on the cycle path you can't really get lost
Landmarks/Pubs for lunch/Sites to see?
There are places to eat etc. but once you leave the town there are only 2 pubs/cafes until you reach York, where there are many.

Myself and wife and son aged 8yrs did this ride last year.
For me and the wife it was a little tough on the bums at the end, our first time on a bike for years, Son did it very easy.

Did this route last weekend as part of a slightly longer ride (York city centre to Selby and back) and overall we really enjoyed it - the core section is old railway line, off-street through beautiful countryside - with an extra dose of Science as you go past a scale model of our solar system! (NB. Pluto is up the wooded hill...)
From York Racecourse this type is well signposted, tarmacked etc. The paving is a bit bumpy in places owing to tree roots but wasn't bad overall. From Riccall south the route is mostly on road but (at least on a Friday night) they were very very quiet indeed, at least until you get closer to Selby. From the point where you rejoin the old rail line, it stops being paved and is quite bumpy; you have a choice to cycle on the pavement instead which was clearly a popular if not actually legal option. Closer into Selby it's just cycle lane on the main (busier) street, or literally going around the houses on some horrendously potholed streets.
If you're just after a nice low-stress ride (rather than to get to/from Selby) I'd suggest cutting out the Selby bit and doing Barlby to York - that would be perfectly suitable for families and less confident cyclists.

Loser Planets and the Hunt for Starships
One set of things we might look for in the skies as evidence of aliens are starships. Seeing one would answer our questions about are we alone in the Sagittarius Arm or are there other life-forms here. It would tell us that intelligence is not our prerogative and somewhere else under probably far different conditions it evolved. It would tell us that star travel is possible, should we choose to do it. Even if we determine that we can detect the signatures of biological life, we might not be able to detect the signatures of an advanced alien civilization that lives buttoned up in hermetic cities. And even if we surmount that obstacle, knowing if star travel is possible would be a tremendous triumph in its own right.
Previous blogs have already addressed two motives that the alien civilization might have for sending up not one, but multiple starships to cross the galaxy to another planet. One is a scarcity planet. This is a planet that has little resources, just barely enough for an intelligent civilization to evolve and learn science. Life would be hard there compared to many other planets, and the dominant theme of the planet would be getting the hell out of here. A planet just beyond the Scarcity Great Filter line might only be able to afford the resources to build one ship, once they advanced enough to be able to do that with confidence that it would arrive at its destination. A little bit further beyond the filter line, and they might be able to send several.
The civilization might allow its population on the home world to diminish, move everyone out of one of the cities, and then salvage its resources to build the next ship. Desperate civilizations do desperate things. After that they would keep going after that until the salvage process ran out of momentum. So there might be a line of starships, leaving the scarcity planet, all heading to a new home. They might be on a voyage of a thousand years, separated by twenty-five years each.
The other motive is stellar death, or some other galactic peril, that would force the evacuation of the planet. It could be a beautiful home with all the comforts an advanced civilization could offer its members, but when the volcanism starts, it’s time to leave. With advanced notice of the peril obtained by their advanced scientific abilities, they too would be sending ship after ship, spaced out in time, heading somewhere in the galaxy where the perils are not present and the planet’s geology is quiescent.
Here on Earth, if we build the right instruments, we might be able to tell which planet is short of resources and which planet has just had something very unpleasant happen. In short, we might be able to deduce the origin planet of the line of starships, which would give us a head start in finding them based on their own signatures. It would be even easier if we knew where they were going. A line from planet A to planet B is pretty simple to scan, as compared to an expanding volume around planet A. So, where would they go?
By the time we are able to detect planetary distress or the type of planet and therefore its likely resources, we can also tell a lot about other planets near the origin planet. Frankly, some planets are losers, and we can simply strike them off the list as possible candidates.
We have already made some baby steps in finding loser planets. Knowing the mass tells us something about the gravity, and too much or too little means the alien civilization would either get squashed or bounce too much when they walked. Detecting the atmosphere, the type and depth, is on the near horizon, and a yuccy atmosphere is sure to put a planet on the losers list. The list would also contain all planets which are not stable, or which have such inherent high wind velocities that life there would be impossible. There are likely several more criteria which we might just be able to detect.
Of course, being in the habitable zone is a definite requirement, as without being habitable, it is not going to get inhabited. Recall that the ships from the scarcity zone are looking for a place to settle, not a place to terraform. They don’t have the resources for this. The ships from the planet in distress likely did not have the time to prepare the massive amount of supplies and equipment needed to do this, and neither of them wants to hang around in orbit for millions of years waiting for the planet to improve.
What they mean by habitable is not necessarily what we mean by habitable. If the origin planet has methane for an atmosphere and ethane seas, they will be setting forth to another one like this, which is probably well beyond what we think of as the habitable zone. But if they come from something in our type of habitable zone, then our search for their destination planet should be restricted to this type. We probably by this time already would have an extensive catalog of planets in the habitable zone, along with information about their atmospheres, the type of rock they might have on the surface, and hopefully, lots of other very interesting information.
The travelers certainly have observational instruments far in advance of ours, and knowledge of planetary everything far better than ours. If we can see a biosignature, they can too. If we can simply detect the biosignature, they might be able to obtain much more information about what was living on the planet, and feed that into their selection process for a target planet. As noted in another post, alien civilizations probably do not have anything like a reverence for life, but they assuredly do have a reverence for their own life. They would not head toward a planet with an advanced civilization, bristling with defensive weapons, which could shoo them away. Heading for a shoot-out is not the most efficient way to pack up your civilization and move. But anything lower down the scale from a civilization of the same capability as theirs, ranging from bugs up to semi-intelligent creatures, might be fair game. Desperate civilizations do desperate things. If a few squirts of a lethal virus would make the planet more hospitable, perhaps that’s what they would do.
We can use the information discussed here to eliminate the loser planets they would not head to, and possibly narrow down the list a bit further to perhaps a few, or anyway not too many that would overwhelm our instrumental time, and then search the connecting lines for the emigration train. It would be a grand celebration here on Earth if we answered our long-held questions about intelligent life and stellar travel by detecting such travel in progress. Unless, of course, what we detected was the nose cones.

Shock can threaten the life of the victim of an injury if it is not treated quickly. Even if the injury doesn’t directly cause death, the victim can go into shock and die. Shock occurs when the body’s important functions are threatened by not getting enough blood or when the major organs and tissues don’t receive enough oxygen. Some of the symptoms of shock are a pale or bluish skin color that is cold to the touch, vomiting, dull and sunken eyes, and unusual thirst. Shock requires medical treatment to be reversed, so all you can do is prevent it from getting worse. You can maintain an open airway for breathing, control any obvious bleeding and elevate the legs about 12 inches unless an injury makes it impossible. You can also prevent the loss of body heat by covering the victim (over and under) with blankets. Don’t give the victim anything to eat or drink because this may cause vomiting. Generally, keep the victim lying flat on the back.
There are a many different types of burns. They can be thermal burns, chemical burns, electrical burns or contact burns. Each of the burns can occur in a different way, but treatment for them is very similar. For thermal, chemical or contact burns, the first step is to run cold water over the burn for a minimum of 30 minutes.If the burn is small enough, keep it completely under water. Flushing the burn takes priority over calling for help. Flush the burn FIRST. If the victim’s clothing is stuck to the burn, don’t try to remove it. Remove clothing that is not stuck to the burn by cutting or tearing it. Cover the burn with a clean, cotton material. If you do not have clean, cotton material, do not cover the burn with anything. Do not scrub the burn and do not apply any soap, ointment, or home remedies. Also, don’t offer the burn victim anything to drink or eat, but keep the victim covered with a blanket to maintain a normal body temperature until medical help arrives.
If the victim has received an electrical burn, the treatment is a little different. Don’t touch a victim who has been in contact with electricity unless you are clear of the power source. If the victim is still in contact with the power source, electricity will travel through the victim’s body and electrify you when you reach to touch. Once the victim is clear of the power source, your priority is to check for any airway obstruction, and to check breathing and circulation. Administer CPR if necessary. Once the victim is stable, begin to run cold water over the burns for a minimum of 30 minutes. Don’t move the victim and don’t scrub the burns or apply any soap, ointment, or home remedies. After flushing the burn, apply a clean, cotton cloth to the burn. If cotton is not available, don’t use anything. Keep the victim warm and still and try to maintain a normal body temperature until medical help arrives.
Heat stroke is much more serious and occurs when the body’s sweat glands have shut down. Some symptoms of heat stroke are mental confusion, collapse, unconsciousness, fever with dry, mottled skin. A heat stroke victim will die quickly, so don’t wait for medical help to arrive–assist immediately. The first thing you can do is move the victim to a cool place out of the sun and begin pouring cool water over the victim. Fan the victim to provide good air circulation until medical help arrives.
The first thing to do is get the victim away from the poison. Then use provide treatment appropriate to the form of the poisioning. If the poison is in solid form, such as pills, remove it from the victim’s mouth using a clean cloth wrapped around your finger. Don’t try this with infants because it could force the poison further down their throat. If the poison is a gas, you may need a respirator to protect yourself. After checking the area first for your safety, remove the victim from the area and take to fresh air. If the poison is corrosive to the skin, remove the clothing from the affected area and flush with water for 30 minutes. Take the poison container or label with you when you call for medical help because you will need to be able to answer questions about the poison. Try to stay calm and follow the instructions you are given. If the poison is in contact with the eyes, flush the victim’s eyes for a minimum of 15 minutes with clean water.
In order to administer effective first aid, it is important to maintain adequate supplies in each first aid kit.First aid kits can be purchased commercially already stocked with the necessary supplies, or one can be made by including the following items: Adhesive bandages: available in a large range of sizes for minor cuts, abrasions and puncture wounds Butterfly closures: these hold wound edges firmly together. Rolled gauze: these allow freedom of movement and are recommended for securing the dressing and/or pads. These are especially good for hard-to-bandage wounds. Nonstick Sterile Pads: these are soft, superabsorbent pads that provide a good environment for wound healing. These are recommended for bleeding and draining wounds, burns, infections. First Aid Tapes: Various types of tapes should be included in each kit. These include adhesive, which is waterproof and extra strong for times when rigid strapping is needed; clear, which stretches with the body’s movement, good for visible wounds; cloth, recommended for most first aid taping needs, including taping heavy dressings (less irritating than adhesive); and paper, which is recommended for sensitive skin and is used for light and frequently changed dressings. Items that also can be included in each kit are tweezers, first aid cream, thermometer, an analgesic or equivalent, and an ice pack.
As with getting medical attention for all injuries, it is equally important that you report all injuries to your supervisor.It is critical that the employer check into the causes of every job-related injury, regardless how minor, to find out exactly how it happened. There may be unsafe procedures or unsafe equipment that should be corrected.
