Athens Eager to Strengthen Ties With Russia - Greek Vice Foreign Minister
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras never addressed Russia with a request to provide Greece with financial assistance in order to print its own currency, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.
"The president has already said, and the minister has said and we have repeatedly said on various levels that the Greek side and the Greek authorities did not approach Russia for help," Peskov told journalists.
On Tuesday, Greek media reported that Tsipras had asked Russian President Vladimir Putin for $10 billion to facilitate the printing of drachmas, which was the national currency of Greece before the country joined the Eurozone.
Greece and Russia boosted bilateral cooperation after the Syriza party came to power in January 2015.
Russian Lawmakers Propose to Lift Food Ban for Greece
Earlier in July, Russian envoy to the European Union Vladimir Chizhov said that Moscow was ready to assist the cash-strapped country economically, including economic cooperation in privatizing the country's infrastructure.
Athens' failure to reach an agreement with its international creditors on a new bailout program before the previous aid package expired on June 30 fueled speculation that the country might leave the Eurozone and return to the drachma.
On July 13, the leaders of the euro area reached an agreement on a new bailout package for Greece. After the deal was reached, Tsipras said that the idea of Grexit was off the table.

"I have just been on the museum site of the AMMPT and was delighted to find a society devoted to the history and technology of the motion picture as it was before the coming of digital cinema.
Its a refreshing change to come upon a group of persons who are eager to preserve the legacy handed down to us by Lumiere and others of that age. I myself was a cinematograph film projector enthusiast many years ago (and still am). And although I never went so far as to collect projection equipment, I was really charmed with the movie film projector.
And now for a bit of my story!
To begin with I should tell you that I am writing from India. Back in the 1970s I was in college and studied the mechanical working of the motion picture projector from a text book. 35 mm machines used the maltese cross as the intermittent mechanism , and this was by far the most interesting mechanism I had ever come across. It was also the most difficult to model for a person like me with no experience in metal working. 16mm projectors on the other hand used a claw mechanism. There were various types of claw mechanisms and I found one which was simple enough to make using cardboard disks and levers and rubber belts. After a good deal of trial and error my 16mm machine was ready using a household 100 watt lamp and thick condenser lenses. The projection lens was an old camera lens and the machine was hand cranked. I was lucky enough to get my hands on an old print of a movie named Weekend at the Waldorf. And thus began my home movie show. The machine had no shutter so travel ghost was pronounced. Later I added an extra arm to the revolving disc that drove the claw mechanism and this was fitted with a tiny card square which occluded the light beam whilst the film was in motion. But then flicker was quite pronounced. Also the stroke of the claw was a bit longer than the distance between film perforations so each time the claw pin would strike the film before it entered the perforation and thus my film had scratch marks. But it was great fun. And for a good many years after that, my favourite pastime in the evenings consisted in switching off the lights of the room and running my machine.
Now at 60 all those experiments are over. The projector is gone and so is the film. I had collected bits and pieces of 35mm film too from my visits to the projection room of various theatres in town, but those too are gone. In later days I began collecting old photographic literature — books and manuals on old still cameras. My interest in cinema machines continued and I was hoping I could lay my hands on some old instruction manuals of these machines, but which theatre owner would part with such literature? Finally one day I found what I was looking for. Some theatre in town had installed new machines and the old manuals were sold off to a second hand roadside book shop. They were instruction manuals of old Bauer machines and I purchased the whole lot. It was great.
Here are some pictures from the old Bauer manuals and I think you will like them. Some of the material is in German. The Eugene Bauer company in Germany shut business many years back so I am really lucky to have these manuals.
Simplex and Bauer were the great names in cinema projection equipment here in India in those days. While village cinemas often did with second hand used machines, top class theatres were equipped with machines from Simplex or Bauer. And how well these machines worked! With proper maintenance, these projectors gave pictures that were rock steady and sharp.

Q: Why is parent bash waiting for child bash to die to execute trap Let's say I have a shell and another external shell.
On the first shell I run bash: This is the parent bash. In the parent bash I set a trap with trap exit INT for example.
Then I run bash again inside this parent bash, so I get a child bash where I do whatever.
Then from the external shell, if I try to kill the parent bash's PID with -INT flag it does not do anything. Once I exit the child bash then it returns to the parent bash and executes the trap and kills the parent bash right away.
My main question is How can I force a trap to be executed right away, even if the corresponding bash has some subshells open? How can I work around it?
I don't want brutal execution like -9 since I still want my bash's trap to do specific clean up work.
INT doesnt seem to matter.
Example: In one shell run:
bash
ps
trap "echo HELLO" TERM
bash

In the other shell write:
kill -TERM (pid that you read in ps)

it won't do anything until you actually exit the child bash

A: You're running into the special handling tht shells do for keyboard interrupts (SIGINT and SIGQUIT).  These signals are sent by the terminal to entire process groups, but should in general just kill the 'foreground' process in the group.
The way this actually works is that when a shell (any shell, not just bash) invokes a child (any child process, shell or executable or whatever) and immediately waits for the child's completion (a foreground command in the shell), while it is waiting, it ignores SIGINT (and SIGQUIT) signals.  Once the child completes (which may be due to the child exiting from the SIGINT signal from the keyboard), the shell becomes foreground again and no longer ignores SIGINT/SIGQUIT.
The takeaway from this is that you should not use the keyboard control signals for things other than keyboard control actions.  If you want to terminate the parent shell regardless of its state, use a SIGTERM signal.  That's what the TERM signal is for.

Non-Kashmiri Students At NIT Srinagar Thrashed By J&K Police, Hounded For Hoisting Tricolor
By HinduPost Desk
There has been a brutal assault by J&K Police on non-Kashmiri students at NIT (National Instititue of Technology) Srinagar. This crackdown came after non-Kashmiri students hoisted the tri-color and demanded action against local students who had celebrated Bharat's defeat in a cricket match and shouted anti-national slogans. The non-Kashmiri students are fearing for their lives, facing harassment from college staff & local Kashmiris, and desperately seeking the intervention of the Union Government to ensure their security.
Below are some images and videos of the police assault on students. These videos have been shot by the students themselves, who have also created a FB page to reveal the truth of this brutal assault.

The online petetion started by the non-local students provides the chronology of events –
"It all started on the night of the Bharat vs West Indies T-20 World Cup cricket match when local Kashmiri students came out of their hostel rooms to celebrate Bharat's defeat and started shouting anti-national slogans, bursting firing crackers. The local canteen staff at the back of first year hostel started stone pelting at the hostel which led to minor injuries of non-Kashmiri students.
Reacting to this, a group of first year students went to the Director's office next day and demanded immediate action against this and also the hoisting of Bharat's national flag in the campus as is supposed to be done in every central university. The Director sent the students back with an assurance but with no fixed deadline. However, immediately after this, some local Kashmiri students including some M.tech and Ph.d scholars (who are also supposed to teach the B.tech students) formed a group and started hurling anti-national slogans.
Some non-local students intervened, in the reply to which one of the local students hit a non-local with a drafter leading to a blood spurt from his head. After this, all hell broke loose and there was a minor clash between these two groups. The non-local students afterwards raised Bharat's flag and organised a rally in the campus shouting 'Bharat mata ki jai'. The local police force was then called up, who threw tear gas and lathi-charged the non-local students. Moreover, the local mob who lives near the college campus started stone pelting from outside. However, no action was taken by the police force against the Kashmiri students and the local mob.
The college authorities issued a notice later on the same night stating that the non-local students should vacate the hostel, which was highly unexpected amidst this chaos. At the same time, there was a gathering of localites at the main gate of college campus who started shouting obscenities and were quite angry at the non local students. The college authorities decided to call the higher police officials to take control of the situation. The SSP and DM addressed the students later that night and made sure that the issue is cooled down and assured them that the students will be given security by the J&K police. But they also took the assurance from the non locals and local students, not to worsen the situation.
Still, on the next morning, some Kashmiri students entered the 2nd year hostel and threatened a non local student and warned him of dire consequences after the police force leaves the campus. That student was however caught and taken to the Director's office, but it was not clear what action was taken against him. The non-locals, however, who stood by their 'promise' were now infuriated and then decided to call the SSP again; this time to put a non-negotiable demand of sending them to the airport safely. But this demand was also kept aside, and the students were told to give their details to the college authorities. The students however feared that they might be tortured academically (or may be given NFTE certificate- Not Fit for Technical Education), which might ruin their career.
The non-local students who demanded a safe passage to the airport, were told by the college officials that they were responsible for themselves and the college would not take any responsibility, whatsoever. The students have also started receiving death threats on social networking sites which is also adding to the tension of students as well as their parents.
The students are demanding the following things:-
1) Permanent strict security must be present at NIT Srinagar since students are being threatened continuously.
2) Administration should be revised and since it's a National Institute, hence at least 50% of the staff should be non-local. Also strict action should be taken against teachers who are threatening students that they will be made to suffer academically.
3) The assurance that there won't be any academic harassment of the students afterwards.
4) A basic students council should be formed consisting of students from each year.
5) Religious impositions should not be there on students during festivities.
The demands should be fulfilled with immediate effect or else the institution must be shifted to a more socially secure environment where the local students do not indulge in such activities. Also, where the teachers do not support and develop the feeling of revenge from other fellow students."

Situation Worsening Inside Campus
There are reports that there has been another assault on students today.
Srinagar NIT tense again. Four students injured in clashes with Police inside the campus.
— IndiaTodayFLASH (@IndiaTodayFLASH) April 5, 2016
The central Government needs to take decisive action right away, before the situation goes totally out of hand, and some young lives are lost.
Truth Coming Out After 4 Days
Although this assault on students took place on 1 April, it is only now that the brutality of the attack is coming out; as per the psuedo-secular editorial guidelines prevalent in Bharat, initial media reports had downplayed the issue as a minor clash between two group of students, where police was just called in to 'control the situation'. If not for the brave students who shot these videos and organized themselves to fight for justice, the rest of the country would have been as clueless to events on the ground as we were when Kashmiri Pandits were driven out of the valley in 1989/90.
But even now, the gravity of the situation appears not to have sunk in for those sitting in Delhi. Routine calls to the State Government or local police will not work – it is the police themselves who are the perpetrators of this gruesome assault on students exercising their constitutional right of expressing their love for the country.
Spoke to J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti ji regarding the situation in NIT Srinagar. She has assured me to look into the issue &take immediate action
— Rajnath Singh (@BJPRajnathSingh) April 5, 2016
If anything happens to any student there, who will be responsible for that? Mehbooba Mufti or Rajnath Singh? https://t.co/lIYlydT4i5
— PARIN (@ParinVShah) April 5, 2016
The situation demands that CM Mehbooba Mufti be hauled up at once, central paramilitary forces deployed in NIT Srinagar to give some measure of comfort to students, and a senior official from MHRD should fly out to the campus to assess the situation and work out a permanent solution.
What is happening in NIT Srinagar is living proof of what happens when the demographic balance in a region changes for good. If the Hindus living in denial still don't see what fate awaits them unless they wake up and act to preserve their nation and civilization, no power on earth can save them. This line by the students at NIT says it best about the dangerously skewed narrative prevalent in Bharat today – "Students who try to be Anti-nationals are made heroes, but students who uphold nationality are beaten like dogs !!"

Ferrari is Qualcomm's latest partner to build smarter cars
What do Ferraris and your smartphone now have in common?
Feb 8, 2022, 7:08 PM UTC |
Qualcomm has announced its latest automotive partner: none other than Ferrari, with whom it'll be entering into a "strategic technology collaboration" that will (eventually) see Qualcomm's automative technology make its way into future Ferrari cars.
As part of the deal, Ferarri plans to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon Digital Chassis suite in the future, although there are frustratingly few specifics as to which Snapdragon technologies Ferrari plans to use or which vehicles they'll be integrated into. The Snapdragon Digital Chassis branding serves as Qualcomm's overarching brand for its automotive solutions, including Snapdragon Ride (for automated and assistive driver technologies), Snapdragon Cockpit (for in-car experiences and SoCs), and Snapdragon Auto Connectivity (for adding LTE, 5G, and Wi-Fi to cars).
Joining other partners like Volvo, Honda, Renault, and GM
Qualcomm's announcement does call out that it'll be working with Ferrari to "design, develop and integrate Ferrari's digital cockpits," which would seem to indicate that it'll at least be relying on Qualcomm's hardware for the base of future infotainment systems.
Additionally, the new deal will see Qualcomm join as a sponsor of the Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 team, with the Snapdragon logo set to appear on Ferrari's F1-75 single-seater car.
Ferarri marks the latest major automotive company that's looking to utilize Qualcomm's suite of car technology in at least some form, joining other recent announcements at CES 2022 like Volvo, Honda, Renault, and GM. Despite the plethora of deals, though, Qualcomm's automotive technology is still in the early days, and it'll still be some time before the company's chips, components, and services are as widespread in the automotive world as they are in the smartphone market.

It is generations who have gone and taken their secrets with them.

Tomgram: U.S. Africa Command Debates TomDispatch | TomDispatch
On July 12th, TomDispatch posted the latest piece in Nick Turse's "changing face of empire" series: "Obama's Scramble for Africa." It laid out in some detail the way in which the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has, in recent years, spread its influence across that continent, establishing bases and outposts, sending in special operations forces and drones, funding proxy forces on the continent, and so on. As last week ended, TomDispatch received a "letter to the editor" from Colonel Tom Davis, director of the U.S. Africa Command Office of Public Affairs, disputing in some detail a number of Turse's points. (Colonel Davis also sent a copy of the letter to the Nation Institute, which supports this website.)

Gaghoo mine, a local mine owned by Gem Diamonds will this year reduce its production plan to approximately 300 000 tonnes.
Output from the company's Ghaghoo mine dropped five percent to 11, 029 carats after the miner said in February it considered it prudent to scale back the operation as average selling prices fell. In its first quarter trading update Gem Diamonds Chief Executive, Clifford Elphick said production slowdown and cost reduction plan is implemented with the downsizing of the operation advanced. "At Ghaghoo the downsizing of the operation is advanced and the buffer zone around the sand ingress has been successfully created.
Development of the second production block on Level 1 has progressed well and will be the main source of ore for the remainder of the year," he said. A parcel of 14 114 carats of Ghaghoo diamonds was sold during the period for an average of US$ 160 per carat, which is seven percent above the previous price achieved in December 2015.
Elphick said although Ghaghoo will operate at a reduced production rate during 2016, prices for the Ghaghoo production will continue to be monitored and the option of returning to full production regularly reviewed. The Ghaghoo operation recovered 11 029 carats achieving a recovered grade of 21.8cpht. The majority of the 50 514 tonnes of ore treated was sourced from tunnels one to five on Level 1.
The area of the pipe mined was close to the contact and contained more internal dilution and hence delivered a lower grade when compared to the previous quarter. The development of the second production block is progressing well with over 200 metres of tunnelling completed per month, which will allow access to higher grade ore towards the centre of the pipe from mid year onwards.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Will Be the Adrenaline Rush 'Below Deck' Fans Crave
Gina Ragusa
Below Deck viewers tune in for the breathtaking scenery, the outrageous charter guests, and a peek at what really goes on "below deck" during a luxury charter season. After seven years of drama on the high seas, Below Deck has launched sails on a new series in the franchise: Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Captain Glenn Shephard is at the helm of Parsifal III, a 180-foot luxury sailing yacht. Shephard has 20 years in the industry and 10 years on this specific vessel. He dished with Showbiz Cheat Sheet about what it was like to take his beloved sailing yacht to the Bravo masses, especially since Shephard is new to the franchise.

Shephard admits he hasn't seen a lot of 'Below Deck'
"Well, to be honest, I don't think I had seen a full episode because I spent a lot of my time in Europe and we don't have easy access to it," Shephard admitted. He was recruited to be on the show through friends in the industry.
But Shephard was more than prepared to not only provide the charter guests with a thrilling Greek vacation but also serve up a supremely entertaining season for viewers. He advises viewers to buckle up because Below Deck Sailing Yacht will inspire even the most stubborn landlubber to sail.
Viewers will see a lot of action above deck
Most of the Below Deck action occurs either "below deck" or on land. Shephard reveals that the act of sailing is going to show viewers an entirely different version of thrilling aquatic luxury. "On a motor boat it's going to be stable and flat and the decks are all going to be horizontal," he says. "But that doesn't apply on a sailboat. We heel over [which means to go on a tilt], and it's safe and everything, but its a new experience for some people."
Meet the ring leader of the Parsifal III sailing yacht. We're ready to explore these rocky waters with you, @bigsailboats!   Learn more about Captain Glenn by hitting the link in our bio. ☝ #BelowDeckSailing
A post shared by Below Deck (@belowdeckbravo) on Jan 8, 2020 at 3:01pm PST
Shephard has worked throughout the Med and says while the thrill of heeling is something he's used to, it can be a novel experience for those who aren't used to sailing. "Also, it's challenging for the crew, challenging for the chef," he continues. Cameras captured food rolling around chef Adam Glick's galley as the boat is heeling. Guests and the crew slide across the floor or need to hold onto stable furniture.
"For fun, we just go out and crank it," he shares. "It's not just about getting to the destination, it's about the journey. That's the kind of thing that people are after when they come on a sailboat. They want that excitement."
Fans can count on the same 'Below Deck' drama
For the first time in the show's history, an established crew comes with the yacht. Shephard, first mate Paget Berry, and Berry's girlfriend Ciara Duggan were living on Parsifal III. Duggan previously worked in the interior, but Shephard moves her to the deck team, which makes for interesting television.

"That will reveal a little bit of drama," Shephard teases. "I'm open to couples on board, whether they come on board as a couple, even if they hook up on board because we live in very close quarters. But that can always lead to drama and you'll see a little bit of drama related to romance between crew members," he laughs.
Shephard also says the vibe is also a little more relaxed. Viewers won't see the crew wearing their epaulettes but instead wearing polos.
"Obviously hierarchy and rank is important," Shephard says. "You have to follow that, otherwise everything breaks down. But I would say we're definitely less formal than big motor yachts."
'Below Deck' fans will be treated to a new vibe
Also new to this installment is seeing the captain bunk with another crew member. Shephard explained that while a luxury sailing yacht is roomy, it doesn't offer the same space and storage as a motor yacht. Thankfully, he bunked with close friend, chief engineer Byron Hissey.
"Byron, who is the chief engineer on the show had been working here already for a year and worked on a sister ship that's owned by the same company," he says.
New deck. ⛵ New crew. New drama. We're setting sail on a new #BelowDeck series! #BelowDeckSailing premieres February 3 on @bravotv! #LinkInBio for more.

What kind of captain will viewers see? Is Shephard a hard-liner like Captain Lee Rosbach or more of a teacher like Captain Sandy Yawn? "I like to say I'm a macro-manager and a big picture kind of guy," he shares. "I try to hire good people and stay out of their way as much as possible."
"Obviously I want to be a guiding hand and have a feeling about what's going on in the departments. But I try not to be overbearing because I find it alienates people." He adds that he makes sure his crew has a solid level of comfort with him so they can bring problems or questions to his attention.
"I've always encouraged them to think for themselves but if you're not sure, to come and ask," he says.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht debuts on Monday, Feb. 3 at 9/8c on Bravo.

L'« or nazi » se réfère aux actifs transférés en or par le Troisième Reich à diverses banques pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Origine des richesses accumulées en or
Le régime a appliqué une politique de pillage des biens de ses victimes pour financer la guerre. Le transfert de ces biens de valeurs fut permis avec la collaboration de certaines institutions, notamment bancaires. L'identité précise de ces institutions, ainsi que l'étendue exacte des transactions, demeurent obscures, sources de questions mais aussi sujettes à caution.

En 1939, une partie des réserves d'or du parti nazi était stockée au Brésil. Leur convoyage fut un échec ; l'épave du cargo SS Minden, contenant la précieuse cargaison, a été retrouvée en  au large de l'Islande.

Exfiltration de l'or à la fin de la guerre
Plusieurs sous-marins en , auraient abordé l'Argentine avec d'anciens nazis et de l'or.

En 1945, les troupes américaines découvrent dans une mine de sel nommée Kaiseroda à Merkers un trésor composé de métaux stratégiques (palladium, platine) et de  d'or ainsi que des sommes énormes en billets de banque étrangers. Ce trésor a été transféré aux États-Unis.

En 1946, la  est créée pour tenter d'apporter une solution. Elle achève ses travaux en 1998.

Règlement financier
Des agents de l'Office of Strategic Services dans les banques suisses ont permis de retracer les transactions financières de l'Allemagne qui a utilisé cet or , en Suède, au Portugal, en Turquie et en Argentine, avec le concours de banques en Suisse. Grâce à ces informations, le gouvernement des États-Unis a fait pression sur la Suisse qui a fini par rembourser symboliquement  de dollars aux pays ainsi floués.

Food allergies, asthma and atopic dermatitis are allergic disorders that have increased dramatically over the past 20 years. Over 30% of Australian children having some form of atopic disease.
Our clinical and basic science research programs are designed to facilitate translation of research into practice. We want to prevent allergic diseases from developing, and manage them more effectively for children and the community.
Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), whilst rare, require sophisticated diangostic techniques and intensive clinical management. Studying PIDs provide us with an opportunity to understand the immune system and how it becomes dysregulated and imbalanced, which leads to immune disorders such as allergies and autoimmunity.
One of our overarching research themes is to understand our innate and adaptive immune system, and how imbalances may be corrected.
Allergy and Immunology Research is led by co-Heads of Department, Prof Dianne Campbell & Dr Melanie Wong.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for immune tolerance. This study is defining Treg subsets in healthy children and in children with allergy and other immune diseases.
This study is one of only two large randomized controlled trials being conducted in Australia to help prevent egg allergy, which is the most common cause of food allergy in Australia.
Vitamin D plays important roles in regulating the immune system. This randomized controlled trial is exploring whether Vitamin D ingestion improves the control of eczema, a common and troublesome atopic disorder.
Australian doctors currently rely upon European fish extracts to diagnose fish allergy. This study is characterising the unique Australian and Pacific fish which cause fish allergy in Australian Children.
This is a multicentre study looking at the most effective diets for treatment of children with a serious type of allergy which affects the oesophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach).
This study is examining the pathogenesis of FPIES, which is largely unknown. Understanding FPIES will facilitate better diagnosis and management of this condition.
We are investigating new reported cases of these rarer food allergies, and trying to better understand how to recognise, manage and treat these diseases.
This study examines the use of a range of CRD for diagnosis of peanut allergies in children.
Dianne leads randomised controlled trials in peanut and egg allergy (the most common cause of food allergy in Australian children) and ectopic eczema. She also undertakes research into fish allergies in collaboration with Professor Andreas Lopata at James Cook University.
Melanie is a Senior Staff Specialist in paediatric allergy & immunology with more than 18 years experience. Her clinical and research interests include primary immune deficiencies, newborn genetic testing and transplantation.


It's always better to do one thing well rather than spread yourself thin by trying to do several different things. Many realtors in Punta Cana branch out and do other things to get through the lean months in the market. They sell insurance, organize excursions, act as ad hoc property managers, rent cars, work as tour guides, or, well, anything except Real Estate.
But that can be a problem for investors; how do you know your agent is working full-time for you?
As a part time resident in Bavaro I am definetly withness to this!!
Thanks for sharing this article. There are some great tips in there – I definitely agree that you should research the real estate online before even considering doing any business with them. Go for someone with experience and someone that cares!
This is true, it took us a couple of trips before we decided to buy and finally met with a reliable agent.
We met Jocelyn when we purchased our condo and are very happy she did make it all about us and it was simpler than we thought. we had met another broker in Cortecito, I won't mention names, but he was a jerk still not sure if he was just uninformed or just a scammer.


Does anyone have any thoughts or comments on AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) HTML? It's suppose to help speed up the web on mobile devices.
My personal experience with browsing on a phone has been quite poor because things are so slow, jumpy, frustrating, and often aggravating. It could be so much better.
If you actually use AMP HTML then please reply hear and let me know.
I'm working on AMP HTML Validation in CSE HTML Validator v17. If you are interested in BETA testing this then please send me a PM (private message).
The CDN aspects give them additional logging of everyone all-the-time capabilities. Each use of their CDN keeps track of users that bit better.
I did think through the equivalent Facebook venture. I was not impressed with it. This may be a somewhat rushed me-too response to that.
It seems to take the philosophy of preventing page makers from being in charge to a new level. No developer code allowed for example. This will actively prevent some good ideas from having a chance, and further anaesthetise the brains of some developers. In my view another blow in the "project" to turn humans more stupid.
The small amount of technical practice that I've looked at suggests that the proprietary aspects get in the way of developers.
This post reminds me how much I really miss having an RSS feed for this forum. What approaches are others using to see new posts in their automated feeds?

Also, if you go to a specific forum, there should be a link at the bottom to subscribe to the forum so you get emails when new posts are made to that forum.
In the 'Quick Links' menu there are 'New posts' and 'Unread posts' options that you can go to and bookmark, and then just go to the bookmark every few days or so to see if anything is new.
I'm not sure why how I lost that.
I have critical css inlined, but load the rest after the page loads. Still, I'm interested in applying what principles I can.

I think the good thing about that requirement is that it forces people to be efficient.
When I've done some Google searches on my mobile phone, sometimes I see AMP links first. I have no problem clicking on the AMP links because they do come in much faster. If I click on something else then more often than not it's extremely bloated, slow to load, slow to render, ad-filled, and annoying to read as the page keeps jumping around (I think the word for this is "jank")...... not to mention that it probably uses a lot more data (I don't have unlimited). Because of all that I try to avoid clicking on non-AMP links on my phone because you really don't know what you're going to get (a mobile optimized page or a a bloated page). If I'm on WiFi then I might click on them but still prefer not to.
So I think AMP is a good thing as it forces sites to be efficient. While you can be efficient with HTML, many sites are not and may never be unless there is some "force" requiring them to de-bloat.
I think a lot of the difference you're seeing is where someone actually coded an optimized page instead of the junk people throw together on a generic site. Check out a lot of the sites on Google's PageSpeed Insights and you'll see a lot of crap.
I was trying to view content on a page that had to redraw every time it loaded Google Fonts. Boy was that annoying since I was following links, then coming back and the paragraph I was trying to read kept jumping around.
Well, yes, the AMP pages are almost always optimized while the other pages (regular HTML) may or may not be optimized, and, more often than not, they aren't optimized... and are therefore painfully slow and bloated.
Have you done a google search on a mobile device where it shows you AMP links at the top or the results?
I've never seen searches marked with "AMP".
I don't use my phone much unless I'm traveling (rare). Usually I use a laptop (or tablet) connected to wi-fi for research. I share one gb of data with my wife and we never get close to the limit, mainly due to using private wi-fi (friends & relatives) when possible.
If I go to Chrome on my mobile phone and search for "debate" on Google, the top stories feature AMP documents and they are marked as such with a little lightening bolt and the text "AMP"... and the stories come up MUCH FASTER. It's actually usable and the way things should work.
If you are able then can you try it on your phone and see if you get the same results?


Jason, I really liked the 1010, used it for about 20 years, I lived in the southern part of Missouri until about 6 years ago, had 5 acres, and used it alot,worked it hard, served me well, moved to St. Louis and just didn't have anything for it to do, hated to let it go, still miss it. Do you ever go to the airport at Creve Coeur? We don't get out there as often with the cold weather, Looking forward to some warmer days.
Jason, my son Tim Garrett (he is on this list) has a 601 XL at Creve Couer airport 1HO, you can see his story on his page. I had a 65 1010 Johh Deere, I sold last year about this time to a fellow up in Troy.
Nice tractor! I have a 51 B that has been in my family since before I was born. Just rebuilt the engine and runs great! I'll post a picture.
Jason, that is a great picture of the John Deere, My second passion is old tractors, and partial to green and yellow, welcome to the list.
