Mega Millions jackpot up to $640M after no big winner
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A giant Mega Millions jackpot grew larger Wednesday to an estimated $640 million after another drawing without a winner.
No one won the lottery game's top prize Tuesday night, making it 21 straight drawings without anyone matching all six numbers. The next drawing will be Friday night.
The huge jackpot comes less than two months after the largest lottery prize ever, a $2.04 billion Powerball prize that was won Nov. 8 in California. So far, that big winner hasn't stepped forward to claim the prize.
Powerball vs. Mega Millions: What's the difference?
The reason for all the big prizes is simple — long odds ensure there are few winners and the long streaks of lottery futility allow jackpots to grow ever larger week after week.
The odds of winning a Mega Millions jackpot is one in 302.6 million.
The advertised jackpot of $640 million is for a winner who opts to be paid with an annuity, doled out through annual payments over 29 years. Nearly all winners take the cash option, with for Friday's drawing will be an estimated $328.3 million.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce is leaving the gaming company – Engadget
Gabe Ginsberg via Getty Images
Another Blizzard co-founder is stepping away from the company. Just a few months after Mike Morhaime left his role as Blizzard CEO and president, his fellow founder Frank Pearce has announced that he's also hanging up his hat as Chief Development Officer. Pearce founded the gaming giant 28 years ago with Morhaime and Allen Adham, who left in 2004 but came back in 2016 to oversee the development of several new titles.
After more than 28 years, Blizzard cofounder Frank Pearce is hanging up his armor—thank you for everything, Frank, and best wishes for the future! https://t.co/xQ0tcIwMny
— Blizzard Entertainment (@Blizzard_Ent) July 19, 2019
Part of his farewell message reads:
"The time has come for me to step away from Blizzard and pass the torch to the next generation of leaders…Our efforts were always guided by well-intentioned purpose. We made games that we wanted to play, believing that like-minded people would also want to play those games. Today we characterize it more specifically with the ambitious vision of bringing the world together through epic entertainment. I am so proud to have had the chance to positively impact the lives of so many people through the experiences we have created."
Pearce didn't say what he'll be doing doing next, only mentioning that he plans to spend more time active in the outdoors, to learn to play an instrument and to ultimately devote more time to other aspects of his life. The executive was never as visible as his co-founders, starting out as a programmer for some of the company's earliest titles like Diablo and StarCraft until he took on the role as CDO.
New company president J. Allen Brack said Pearce stepped into an advisory role to help him out when he took over from Morhaime last year. "I have been lucky enough to work with J and [Ray Gresko, the company's new Chief Development Office] for many years, and now it is their responsibility to define how the adventure continues," Pearce also wrote.

NEW YORK (Aug. 4, 2008) - The lives of three Los Angeles–area kidney transplant patients were transformed by one of the West Coast's first three-way living donor kidney transplant chains, made possible through the generosity of a non-directed, altruistic kidney donor from New York City — announced today at a joint news conference.
The carefully orchestrated surgeries, which took place July 24 and 30 at NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center and Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, also involved one of the first transcontinental live-kidney donations.
The kidney from the New York donor was delivered by the New York Organ Donor Network to UCLA's operating room for the July 30 transplant after being removed by Dr. Joseph Del Pizzo, director of laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery in urology and associate professor of urology at NewYork–Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
The "donor chain" is an innovative twist on efforts aimed at increasing the donor pool by giving people who are unable to donate to a loved one or friend the opportunity to still give a kidney through an exchange between incompatible donor–recipient pairs. The domino effect of "chains" creates recipient–donor "clusters," with each subsequent cluster beginning with a "leftover" donor who starts the new cluster.
NewYork - Presbyterian/Weill Cornell and its medical partner, The Rogosin Institute, initiated one of the nation's first three-way kidney donor chains in February. The UCLA chain is the first in Southern California, bringing hope to those with kidney disease in California and the western United States. The project partners with the National Kidney Registry (www.kidneyregistry.org), which matches donors and recipients through a specialized computer program developed by businessman and registry founder Garet Hil.
Hil started the registry when his youngest daughter needed a transplant and tests revealed that her body would have rejected his kidney, as well as kidneys from three uncles and the anonymous New York donor who ultimately started the chain at UCLA.
"If all incompatible donors and recipients were simply listed in one common pool, the problems related to incompatible and poorly matched donors and recipients would be a thing of the past," Hil said.
"NewYork–Presbyterian/Weill Cornell introduced the registry to UCLA a few months ago, prompting UCLA to join the innovative program," said Dr. Jeffrey Veale, assistant professor of urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and director of the paired-donation program.
"The hope is that this marks the first of many such collaborations among the nation's transplant centers," said Dr. Sandip Kapur, chief of transplant surgery and associate professor of surgery at NewYork–Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
"Donor chains have enormous potential to expand the donor pool and to provide better matched organs for the many individuals who are in desperate need of lifesaving transplants," Kapur said.
"Kidney donor chains could have a significant impact on the country's organ donor shortage," said Dr. David Serur, medical director of The Rogosin Institute Transplant Center and associate professor of clinical medicine at NewYork–Presbyterian/Weill Cornell.
Normally, a kidney is delivered when it comes from a deceased donor; live donors typically have the kidney extracted at the same center where it is implanted in the recipient the same day.
"But in this case, UCLA received a live-donor kidney from New York, which hasn't been done before," Veale said.
Pamela Heckathorn, of Cypress, Calif., was to receive a kidney from her cousin Dave Busk, who lives in the Los Angeles area. Husband and wife Arturo and Maricela Carvajal, of Fillmore, Calif., were to have formed a donor-recipient pair, and Randy Platt, of Covina, Calif., wanted to give a kidney to his mother, Inocenta. But each of these donors turned out to be incompatible with their loved ones.
So on July 24, Busk's kidney was given to Maricela, and Arturo's was given to Inocenta. And on July 30, the altruistic New York donor's kidney was flown from NewYork Presbyterian/Weill Cornell to UCLA and given to Pamela Heckathorn. Randy Platt will be the "bridge" to initiate another cluster and more transplants.
Other members of the NewYork–Presbyterian/Weill Cornell transplant team included: Dr. David Leeser, assistant attending surgeon and assistant professor of surgery in transplantation; Marian Charlton, R.N., living donor transplant coordinator; Judith Hambleton, R.N., director of living donor transplantation; Allyson Pifko, R.N., transplant data coordinator; and Jennifer Keen, L.M.S.W., living donor transplant social worker.
Other members of the UCLA surgical team were: Dr. H. Albin Gritsch, associate professor of urology and surgical director of the UCLA Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation Program; Dr. Gerald Lipshutz, assistant professor of surgery and urology and director of the UCLA Highly Sensitized Kidney Transplant Program; Dr. Peter Schulam, associate professor of urology; and Dr. Jennifer Singer, assistant clinical professor of urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine and director of pediatric urology at Harbor–UCLA Medical Center. Dr. Alan H. Wilkinson, director with Danovitch of the Kidney and Kidney-Pancreas Transplantation Programs and professor of medicine, Division of Nephrology and Suzanne McGuire, R.N., living-donor transplant coordinator, were also involved with the patients' care.
Nearly 79,000 people are on the kidney transplant waiting list in the United States, according to statistics from the United Network for Organ Sharing. California alone has some 16,240 people on the list.
The altruistic donor's decision to give a kidney was the culmination of several profound life experiences.
"I have had the incredibly sad experience of having a colleague die while waiting for a kidney transplant," said the donor, who has chosen to remain anonymous. "I have a close friend who donated a kidney to her brother, and I have a close friend who received a kidney more than a decade ago — and I see the terrific experiences she's had since.
Pamela Heckathorn, 51, has polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Her father died of complications from PKD at age 49, and her brother, who also has PKD, received a transplant about 10 years ago.
For his part, David Busk, a detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, is happy that the program is keeping Heckathorn off the grueling dialysis regimen.
For Maricela Carvajal, 36, who was discovered to have kidney problems when she was pregnant with her daughter 13 years ago, her participation may serve to highlight the importance of organ donation among Hispanics, who are generally reluctant to be donors.
Her husband, Arturo, 44, said this system gives life to others and will also free his family to visit relatives in Mexico. They can't go now due to Maricela's dialysis schedule.
Inocenta Platt's kidneys were destroyed by the auto-immune disease lupus. Though her son Randy wanted to donate, the 52-year-old Inocenta's body would have rejected his kidney without large amounts of anti-rejection medications, since the match was not ideal. The decision to be involved was an easy one for mother and son.
"Randy and I talked about it, and we said, 'OK, he's willing to give to somebody else, and I won't have to take as many medications after the surgery,'" she said.
Randy, 30, feels proud in his position as the bridge donor to a new cluster.
"It gives me a sense of purpose," he said.
He was determined to participate, even losing weight in order to qualify for the surgery.
The UCLA Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation Program performed its first kidney transplant in 1957 and for the past 50 years has continued to be a national leader in both clinical research and academic excellence. UCLA is the second-largest kidney transplant program in the country and the largest in Southern California, performing hundreds of adult and pediatric transplants each year. The program has some of the best outcomes in the country, according to the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, a national database of organ transplant statistics. UCLA's program has helped pioneer the use of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove kidneys from living donors. For more information, visit www2.healthcare.ucla.edu/transplant/kidneyhome.html.
The organ transplantation program at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital — which includes NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell, NewYork–Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia and the Rogosin Institute — has performed more transplants this year than any other center in the nation. It offers comprehensive and personalized care for the heart, liver, pancreas, kidney and lung. With outcomes ranked among the nation's best, the hospital is dedicated to improving quality of life for its patients. NewYork-Presbyterian's dedicated teams of surgeons and physicians are responsible for many significant advances made over the past several decades in transplant surgery and the maintenance of healthy organs. The hospital has been on the forefront of developing and improving anti-rejection medications (immunosuppressants), minimally invasive surgery for living donors, genetic methods to detect transplant rejection, strategies to increase opportunities for donor matching, islet cell transplantation and the Food and Drug Administration–approved left ventricle assist device (LVAD), which functions as a bridge to transplantation for those waiting for a new heart.

Tim Pears (* 15. November 1956 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent) ist ein britischer Schriftsteller, der 1994 den Hawthornden-Preis erhielt.

Leben
Pears verließ mit 16 Jahren die Schule und arbeitete danach unter anderem als Buchhändler, Bauarbeiter, Krankenpfleger in einer psychiatrischen Klinik, Leibwächter eines Pianisten, Maler, Dekorateur, Briefsortierer, Filmemacher, Nachtwächter in einem College und Manager einer Kunstgalerie.

Später studierte Pears an der National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield und schloss diese 1993 ab.

Noch im gleichen Jahr erschien sein Debütroman In the Place of Fallen Leaves, für den er 1994 mit dem Hawthornden-Preis sowie mit dem Ruth Hadden Memorial Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Das Buch handelt vom Landleben und den Beziehungen der Jugend zu älteren Generationen im Großbritannien des Jahres 1984.

Sein zweiter Roman In a Land of Plenty (1997) wurde für das Fernsehprogramm der BBC adaptiert und 2001 als zehnteilige Fernsehserie erstmals ausgestrahlt. Darin stellt Pears die Geschichte einer Unternehmerfamilie in einer englischen Kleinstadt in den Jahren von 1952 bis 1992 dar.

Sein im Jahr 2000 veröffentlichter Roman A Revolution of the Sun verwob die Geschichten von sieben ungleichen Personen miteinander, deren Leben sich innerhalb eines Jahres unwiderruflich veränderte zum Beispiel durch die Schwangerschaft einer jungen Frau in London. Wake Up (2002) ist die Geschichte der Gentechnik und des Traums von zwei Brüdern, die einen Gemüseladen betreibt, von essbaren Impfstoffen.

Zuletzt veröffentlichte Pears, der in Oxford lebt, die Romane Blenheim Orchard (2007) sowie Disputed Land (2011).

Keep exercising - obviously it is important to keep in shape, and particularly without regular classes to attend it is all up to you. Vary the way you workout as much as possible: dance classes (if you can find some running) the gym, swimming, yoga or pilates.
Work on a few selected things - we all have elements of our technique that need work. So why not take the chance to give ourselves a few private classes on the things that you know you need to improve? For example, I am spending a lot of time on strengthening my feet for pointe work during the holidays, as I can concentrate purely on that by myself.
Use youtube to change your practice around - whether it's just changing up the music for your combination, or watching tutorials to improve technique, youtube is an invaluable tool for keeping yourself interested.
Train together - it is very likely that your other dance friends will be trying to keep their technique in check over summer too. Working together will mean that you can push each other, and it will be much more fun for both of you than soldiering on alone.
Don't forget about stretching - yes it is boring, but it is the one thing you seriously notice in your first ballet class in September: "Grand battement? Maybe not."
Overall, make sure that you rest and stay healthy. Of course it is ok to relax in the holidays, even if you are not training intensively through it. If you follow the tips above, eat well and healthily (my food blog is full of tips!) and keep control of any injuries then a well-deserved rest can also be introduced.


On Monday, Feb. 25, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee, chaired by Assembly Member Tom Ammiano, held a hearing on the state's Security Housing Units (SHUs). The hearing comes 18 months after the committee held a similar hearing prompted by a three-week long hunger strike in June 2011 that involved thousands of California prisoners across the state. Monday's hearing focused on the implementation of new CDCR policies and considerations of their appropriateness.

New research has found potentially harmful levels of gluten in foods being sold as gluten-free, prompting warnings from coeliac disease experts that menu claims can't always be accepted at face value.
Gluten contamination poses a serious health risk to those with coeliac disease.
The study involved 127 food business in Melbourne, and found that one in 11, or 9 per cent, of the supposedly gluten-free foods tested actually contained gluten.
It also found that only 10 per cent of the food service staff had good knowledge of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) Code.
"For people with coeliac disease, a strict gluten-free diet is their treatment, not a lifestyle choice," said Dr Jason Tye-Din, who leads the Coeliac Research Lab at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute and is a gastroenterologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.
The study, published today in the Medical Journal of Australia, is the first of its kind in Australia.
Kathleen Sisson, vice-president of Coeliac South Australia & Northern Territory, said the belief that gluten-free was a "lifestyle choice", rather than a health issue, had made some food businesses blasé about the risks.
Sisson told InDaily the Melbourne research confirmed anecdotal reports of a lack of knowledge about which foods contain gluten and poor understanding of the risk of cross-contamination with the potentially harmful protein.
While most people would be aware that gluten is found in grains such as wheat, rye and barley, Sisson said confusion surrounded other foods such as couscous, spelt and freekah. Even some chocolate contains gluten.
She said cross-contamination was also a risk in restaurant kitchens. It can occur when a food containing gluten comes in contact with gluten-free items – for example, if they are prepared on the same surface, or if croutons containing gluten are added to and then removed from a salad.
"If you're targeting or marketing to a particular group … I think you need to take some responsibility. If you're offering something as gluten-free, then you have to make sure it is gluten-free.
The Melbourne testing – which was carried out by City of Melbourne Environmental Health Officers, in consultation with researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research – found that of the non-compliant dishes, nine contained more than 20 parts per million (ppm) gluten, the upper threshold for safe gluten intake in Europe and the United States.
"One business provided wheat-based foods (> 80 ppm gluten) despite a gluten-free meal being requested, reflecting the lack of understanding reported by many people with coeliac disease," the authors wrote.
The national association said education and training were the most important factors in ensuring compliance with the gluten-free standard.
Coeliac Australia president Michael Bell said eating out was one of the biggest challenges faced by people with coeliac disease.
"The Coeliac Australia online training module was developed to educate hospitality staff and it highlights how even small changes to processes can help eliminate the risk of gluten contamination," he said.

Q: Structure map throws Error code 202 exceptions unexpectedly So basically I am using structure map DI container. application type is ASP.NET MVC 4. I am registering the type mapping in the constructor of MvcApplication (global.asax), then I am using custom Controller factory to provide the types I need, but the thing is once in maybe 100-200 request the structure maps fails and throws exception saying Exception Code: 202 No Default Instance defined for PluginFamily. I have session state off so the multiple concurrent request are available for single user. One of my the page in my application is drawn dynamically, this page contains like 100-150 images which are return by one the actions in my application, so when that page is being loaded one or may be two pictures in 4-5 request fail to load. and the reason is that when I am retrieving types to path them to controller structure map throws exception at me saying there is no default type for IMyService. in every other place, I mean application, it seems to work perfectly. I am not registering type mappings in Application_Start because in the MvcApplication itself I need to retrieve some of those registered instances.

A: Based on your comment, I will make my best guess as to what is happening.
Since you are registering more than once, and you are doing it in the MvcApplication constructor, if two different instances of MvcApplication are handling requests in parallel (which can happen), you can have InstanceA resolving a service while InstanceB is removing and registering services from the container.  When this happens, dependency resolution fails because the container does have what InstanceA is looking for (yet).
Registration is a one-time task that is generally done at system startup (Application_Start).  There are exceptions, but they are very rare.
If you need to resolve dependencies in the MvcApplication, make sure this is only happening after Application_Start has finished registration.

Tees Valley to enter Tier 3 following talks, MP says

Part of the North East of England is heading for the toughest level of coronavirus restrictions, although the rise in new cases in the region is starting to level off.
Hartlepool MP Mike Hill said the Tees Valley region, which also includes Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar, said talks about entering Tier 3 had been taking place with a minister on Friday.
The Labour MP tweeted: "Local leaders are thrashing out a package for the Tees Valley Region right now.
"MPs will be informed of the outcome later today but we are moving towards Tier 3."

Redcar and Cleveland Council leader Mary Lanigan, speaking on behalf of the councils, said: "We are having ongoing discussions with the Government about its intention to take the Tees Valley into Tier Three restrictions.
"Nothing has been agreed and we anticipate further discussions on Monday.
"We will continue to prioritise the health and wellbeing of our residents, supporting businesses and saving jobs as we press for the best possible outcome for the Tees Valley."
On Thursday evening, Independent elected Mayor of Middlesbrough Andy Preston said NHS capacity to cope with Covid-19 patients was "disappearing fast" and a crisis lay ahead if no action was taken.
Dr Richard Cree, an intensive care consultant at the James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough, has blogged about the pandemic.
He wrote: "We had not expected that things would be getting this bad this quickly.
"Don't get me wrong, we are all more than able to cope with the current workload but are worried about how bad things might be, come Christmas.
"God only knows what surprises Santa will bring us this year."
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) released figures which showed new cases were continuing to rise in the wider North East region, but at a slower rate than elsewhere in the North of England.
While rates remained high in the North East, the ONS said they have now levelled off and "there is now a larger gap with the other two northern regions", Yorkshire and the North West.
Analysis by the PA news agency showed that, while the estimated percentage of people in North East testing positive went from 0.57% for the period September 12 to 25 to 1.41% for the period of September 26 to October 9, the rate of increase appeared to be levelling off, with the latest figure being 1.43% for the period October 10 to 23.
That was in comparison to the North West which jumped from 1.57% for September 26 to October 9 to 2.47% for the period October 10 to 23.
Meanwhile, the seven local authorities north of the Tees Valley remained in Tier 2.
Leaders in Northumberland, Newcastle, North and South Tyneside, Gateshead, Sunderland and County Durham have agreed their area did not need to step up a level and they will continue to argue against entering Tier 3.
A meeting is expected to be held with the Government on Monday.

How NXIVM Used the Strange Power of Patents to Build Its "Sex Cult"
Kenzie Bryant
A Millionaire Heiress Has Been Arrested in Connection with "Sex Cult" NXIVM
Elon Musk Is Not Done Criticizing the Media
NXIVM-Connected Heiress Won't Be Allowed to Move Freely Around New York Because It's Too Exciting
Allison Mack is allowed out in California, though.
Clare Bronfman at the United States Federal Courthouse in Brooklyn.By Brendan McDermid/Reuters.
Allison Mack is free! Well, in part. More free than she was, at least. She's still living with her parents in California on $5 million bail while awaiting trial in January, and she still stands accused of sex trafficking through an inner circle of the Albany-based "Executive Success Program" NXIVM. But, according to Page Six, Brooklyn Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis did a 180 and has allowed Mack to go to classes and attend religious services. Before she was only let out of her parents' house for local meetings with her representation and flights to New York for hearings (she still has to wear a G.P.S. ankle tracker when taking to the sky). So it's a stretching-one's-legs-and-mind kind of free.
Seagram's heiress Clare Bronfman, who is one half of the primary source of money for the program (her sister, Sara, is not legally implicated at present) and charged with racketeering, among other things, has not been afforded the same sort of freedom, because she's stuck in her apartment on a $100 million bond in New York City, capital of the world and of culture. Home of 8.6 million people, such as Taylor Swift and Cardi B. Home of the Yankees. Home of Ray, of the pizza. Home of Cellino & Barnes. Not home of Meryl Streep. She's moving. Bronfman's attorney motioned to allow her "to travel in Manhattan up to 96th Street, in Brooklyn only insofar as to include the E.D.N.Y. Courthouse, not to include airports, and would not travel outside this pre-approved zone unless she obtains prior approval." Offering Bronfman access to Manhattan might "as well be offering a chance for a person to see the world," Garaufis said, shutting down the motion.
Her attorney, Susan Necheles, argued that her client is restless in the apartment, especially because Bronfman is a fit person, and that she's been allowed to travel to meet her representation, which she's done without any issues. Necheles additionally told Vanity Fair, "Judge Garaufis said that given the amount of wealth, he wants a little time before he relaxes Ms. Bronfman's bail restrictions and we should come back to him in two months. We believe that this decision was wrong. It was based solely on Ms. Bronfman's wealth and failed to consider her actions, such as flying back from Mexico and moving to N.Y.C. so that she can be close to her lawyer and work on her defense. These actions are proof that Ms. Bronfman intends to show up at trial and fight the charges."
Garaufis said he could eventually reconsider, but suggested that in the meantime, Bronfman should add a little color to her days by ordering lunch from a "nice restaurant." Let the record show that the defendant was prescribed delivery.

With a fast processor, gigabit ethernet, and relatively huge amounts of RAM and flash, this is a very capable device with OpenWrt installed. With the advent of Version 18 OpenWrt, the installation process is now significantly simplified.
The RB450G uses the Atheros AR8316 switch chip, which DOES support 802.1Q VLAN Trunking in OpenWrt Version 18, but does NOT support 'hybrid' or 'general' VLAN switching.
The 802.1Q Trunking capability of the AR8316 is quite capable of supporting segregated guest networks since 802.1Q Trunking allows a port to have one untagged VLAN (the 'native' VLAN1) and multiple tagged VLANs on the same port.
See the Mikrotik documentation: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Switch_Chip_Features for an explanation of trunk, access and hybrid port capabilities for the switch chips.
That Mikrotik documentation does NOT clearly explain that Trunk ports can have one untagged and multiple tagged VLANs on one port, however Trunking is implemented and functional on OpenWrt Version 18.
If you are looking for OpenWrt support of an RB450Gx4, be aware that it uses a different CPU (IPQ4019) and switch chip (AR8327: supports 'hybrid' VLANs) than the RB450G.
The RB450Gx4 is NOT currently on the list of OpenWRT supported routers, however a WiP branch is available here. More information on the development process and the state of the branch can be found on the forum . Pre-built images are available on the MikroTik RouterBOARD RB450Gx4 device page.
See Common Procedures for Mikrotik Router Boards for a general discussion of the procedures to install OpenWrt on Mikrotik RouterBoards.
The Common Procedures apply directly to the RB450G and are generally kept more up-to-date than these product-specific wiki pages, so it is a good idea to initially refer to the Common Procedures.
For example, the Common Procedures have been fully updated to reflect the considerably simplified Version 18 procedures to install OpenWrt, whereas many of these product-specific wiki's have yet to be updated.
Version 18 OpenWrt works great on the RB450G, however this wiki has not been updated for the Version 18 OpenWrt simplified installation changes. Use the Common Procedures for Mikrotik Router Boards for detailed, up-to-date installation instructions.
OpenWrt doesn't provide a firmware image that can be written directly to the flash memory via the firmware update system in Mikrotik's RouterOS. So installing OpenWrt is a two step process that requires two separate kernel images.
The following instructions illustrate installing Barrier Breaker 14.07, but should be easily adaptable to newer versions. For Attitude Adjustment 12.09 and previous it is required to build OpenWrt from source.
Connect the ethernet adapter of your desktop computer to Eth1 of the RB450G using either a straight or crossover cable. The RB450G will figure out the crossover on its own.
Manually assign an IPv4 address (anything other than 192.168.1.1, or anything in the range of IPs used in your local LAN) to the ethernet adapter on your desktop computer. Here I'll use 10.2.3.4.
Set up dnsmasq on the desktop computer.
The RB450G's bootloader apparently ignores all DHCP options, such as tftp-server or bootp-filename, normally used to instruct a netboot device how to find its image. So you need to set up dnsmasq with specific options to work around this quirk.
Copy the file openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-initramfs-lzma.elf to a clean directory like ~/tftproot/. Rename the file to vmlinux (this helps when testing other images).
Run sudo dnsmasq -a 10.2.3.4 -z -d -p 0 -F 10.2.3.5,10.2.3.6 –enable-tftp –tftp-root=~/tftproot/ –dhcp-boot=~/tftproot/vmlinux.
dnsmasq should start in the foreground writing all its output to the terminal; you're only going to run it temporarily, and having the debugging information may come in handy.
Connect the serial port of your desktop computer to the serial port of your RB450G using a null modem cable. Start your terminal server program. The RB450G serial interface uses 8N1 with hardware flow control at 115200 bps (which is the default, but it can be configured through various means).
TIP: Try setting hardware flow control to off if you can't get to the bootloader menu (i.e. it always times out without detecting a key press). If using minicom, try minicom -o –color=on –device=/dev/ttyS#, then once minicom opens, type CONTROL A Z and find your way to disable hardware flow control. Or try screen /dev/ttyS# 115200 To figure out which ttyS device you should use, the command dmesg | grep ttyS can be helpful.
Select p - boot protocol and then select 2 - dhcp protocol, because bootp (default) does not support dynamic address.
Select o - boot device and then select 1 - boot Ethernet once, then NAND to boot once from the network, and then boot from the nand after that.
Hit x to exit setup, the RB450G will reboot. Let the bootloader menu time out, and it should get an address via DHCP and then load the netboot image from your desktop computer. After a minute or so, you should be able to hit <enter> and get to the OpenWrt prompt.
Don't bother configuring anything while in netboot. Any changes you make won't be written back to the original image, so they'll all be lost when you reboot anyway.
You can disconnect the ethernet connection between your RB450G and your desktop system but Do not disconnect the serial connection..
Now you'll need to establish a connection between the RB450G and the internet so that it can download the OpenWrt packages it needs for installation. Since personal LANs vary so much, I will leave this as an exercise to the reader (on my setup I chose to provide internet through the same desktop used to netboot it).
You may need to change the dns nameserver by editing the file /etc/resolv.conf (vi /etc/resolv.conf). Replace 127.0.0.1 with 8.8.8.8 or any other public dns server. rm /etc/resolv.conf; echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf will do it.
There is a small quirk now, you'll have to edit wget2nand to download the right rootfs, in our case it is the DefaultNoWifi one. So sed -i 's/openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-rootfs.tar.gz/openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-DefaultNoWifi-rootfs.tar.gz/g' $(which wget2nand) will do it.
Once the internet connection is established, use the wget2nand script to install OpenWrt into the flash of the RB450G: wget2nand http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/mikrotik.
Once wget2nand finishes, you can reboot the router. This time, the router should boot from flash (since we chose try ethernet once and then nand) and give you a working OpenWrt installation that you can configure as you like.
Warning: Unit uses a proprietary max. 28V PoE (Power over Ethernet), the RB450G don't work with standard 48V PoE solutions !!!
RB450G have standard RS232 connector, work with simple null modem cable. Testing with standard port in PC. Connection use 1150008n, with hardware flow control (handshaking).
Serial connection is last resort for bootloare RouterBOOT update with XMODEM Microtik Manual:Bootloader upgrade.
JTag port is present on board, but pins are not soldered and there is no empty to solder in pins holes.
CPU JTAG in RB433 includes this 7 pins.
BIOS Reset Button between Power and LEDs – loads backup RouterBOOT Loader Firmware. Just hold button after power unit on.
ROS Reset Jumper – Inside unit (on board) in corner market reset, originally used in RouterOS to reset (load) RouterOS software to defaults.
Note: On board is also one classic Jumper - just another power connection.
The SD card device will be called /dev/mmcblk0, with the first partition called /dev/mmcblk0p1. You will need to format the card from the command line before you can use it. For more information about setting up the card as a permanently-mounted filesystem, the USB storage instructions can be adapted, using /dev/mmcblk0* as the device names.
Some users of the RB450G state that the MicroSD slot is not designed for regular push/pull operations and microSD cards are now fit there well, plus the microSD slot is on the opposite side of the board and is not accessible in many RB450G enclosures designed originally for older RB450 model (no access hole), so when using an old RB450 enclosure you need to fully disassemble the unit to fix / add / remove the microSD card.
List of microSD cards know to work on RB450G with original Microtik RouterOS. Note that since RouterOS uses a different kernel version and MMC driver, cards that don't work with RouterOS may work with OpenWrt, and vice versa.
The AR7161 has two Ethernet controllers, therefore there are two interfaces, eth0 and eth1. one of these is the wan port, the other is the connection to the CPU port of the switch. The AR8316 provides the physical ports for both controllers, but they are separated internally.
A Detailed Example of Installing OpenWrt on a Mikrotik RB493G (V18 Style) Written by the author of many of the V18 upgrades to the Common Procedures for Mikrotik Router Boards wiki. Procedure should work on most RouterBoards with only a change to the selected initramfs and sysupgrade.bin file names.

Green Bay Packers John Martinkovic
John Martinkovic
Manitowoc County Historical Society
John Martinkovic
Inducted: 1974
Defensive End: 1951-56
Height: 6'3"; Weight: 241
College: Xavier (Ohio), 1948-50
Pro Bowl Selection (game played since 1950): 1953, '54, '55
Martinkovic was a stout run defender with enough moxie and moves as a pass rusher to have been selected for three straight Pro Bowls during one of the leanest periods in Packers history. During Martinkovic's six seasons, the only other Packers named to as many Pro Bowls were end Billy Howton and linebacker Roger Zatkoff. They also were named to three each during a stretch where the Packers never compiled a winning record.
The Packers played mostly a five-man front as their base defense during Martinkovic's years in Green Bay and he said he played mostly left end, but also some defensive tackle and even some offense when certain players were still being asked to fill in on both sides of the ball.
Martinkovic's best season might have been 1952 when he scored defensive touchdowns in back-to-back games. On November 2, he scooped up a blocked punt and scored the winning touchdown in a 12-10 victory over Philadelphia, and the next week he chased a loose ball into the end zone after a blocked field goal and fell on it for a touchdown in a 41-28 victory over the Chicago Bears.
"He was a very good defensive end," said former teammate and four-time Pro Bowl safety Bobby Dillon. "He probably was more of a run guy than a pass rusher. He was a big, strong guy. He didn't miss assignments. He was just a good player."
Drafted by Washington in the sixth round in 1951, Martinkovic was acquired by the Packers in a conditional trade. The deal was announced on September 6 of that year, but not recorded in the NFL office until September 17. In return, Washington received offensive end Ted Cook, a four-year veteran who had announced his retirement in late July.
Martinkovic didn't miss a game in six seasons with the Packers, playing in 72 in all. On Sept. 19, 1957, the Packers announced they had traded him to the defending NFL champion New York Giants in exchange for what turned out to be a third-round draft pick. The Packers used the choice to select future Pro Football Hall of Famer Ray Nitschke in the 1958 draft.
Having purchased a home in Green Bay and also having worked as a car salesman during the off-season while playing for the Packers, Martinkovic spent one season with the Giants before returning to Green Bay and making it his permanent home.
Born Feb. 4, 1927, in Hamilton, Ohio. Given name John George Martinkovic. Died Feb. 8, 2018, at age 91.

The motto of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America is "Be prepared." Robert Baden-Powell, an English soldier and the motto's creator, explained the motto as encouraging a tradition in which "you are always in a state of readiness in mind and body to do your duty." This is a lofty goal. How many of us are always prepared to do what we need to do? One could say that it is a demand that social workers and other helping professionals must always meet; that is why they are so well trained. But as this issue's cover story reports, many social workers and others say they don't feel prepared to deal with one of the most saddening recent trends—the rising suicide rate.
After declining for more than a decade, the suicide rate rose 24% from 1999 to 2014, and recent high-profile people who have taken their lives, such as Robin Williams, Kate Spade, and Anthony Bourdain, have brought this trend into closer examination. The reasons are unclear but are very likely multidetermined. Until the research yields more on definitive reasons and addressing them, one thing is clear: All social workers, indeed all helping professionals, and even the general public should be prepared to help anyone who is having suicidal thoughts.
Knowing the risk factors and warning signals is the first step to increased awareness and knowing what to ask is critically important. One important step has been the creation of Mental Health First Aid, an eight-hour course that gives people the skills to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. I have taken the course and I recommend it for anyone concerned about helping people with mental illness and suicide prevention. For more information, visit www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org.
For social workers, many interviewed for the cover story recommend that social workers seek more training in suicide assessment and prevention. One expert says all licensed clinical social workers should make a personal commitment to do at least one of their three-hour CEs about some aspect of suicide risk. Others say that states need to step up and mandate CE on suicide risk assessment and that schools of social work require increased education in suicide prevention.

Lowest Priced Real Estate in the Entire State of Hawaii!!!
K'au is a very large district, with very little development. It wraps around the southern end of the Big Island from west to east.
Parts of Ka'u are considered a desert with very little rainfall.
It is believed that the very first Polynesians to reach the Hawaiian Islands landed somewhere near South Point.
Most of Ka'u's residents receive water via rainwater catchment systems.


It's Nice Being in Miami Tonight!
I'm actually in Alabama this week teaching a class for Amridge University. There's a football game on the TV tonight between the Crimson Tide and Fighting Irish at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Actually, it's not much of a game. Alabama just went ahead 35-0, and it's only the third quarter!
All day, though, I've been thinking about three years ago when I really was in Miami at Sun Life Stadium. The scenario was much different. It wasn't the Alabama Crimson Tide on their way to winning their fifteenth national championship. Rather, it was the New Orleans Saints trying to win their first Super Bowl. They were successful that night defeating the Indianapolis Colts 31-17!
It took the Saints over forty years to win the Super Bowl!!!
In my work with others, I encourage them to dream about the future. However, people often get stuck from past hurt, and as a result, do not set nor obtain any types of goals for themselves or their families. The past is the past. There's nothing we can do to change it, but we can learn from it. For the good times, we need to have a sense of gratitude. For the bad times, we need to forgive, move on, and let go. Once we do this, we are then ready to start dreaming about the future.
There is hope in the world. People can and do change. It might take someone over forty years to become a Christian. It might take over forty years for a business to become prosperous. It might take over forty years for your children to appreciate you. It might take over forty years for someone to overcome their addiction.
Hopefully, your goals won't take that long to come true. Often, we tend to focus on people and things we cannot control. But, if we start focusing on what we can control, we will likely start making progress towards our goals.
I'm sure that Crimson Tide fans are already hoping for a sixteenth championship next year. I'm certainly hoping for the Saints to win their second Super Bowl. But none of that compares to the hope that Christians have in the future!
Great blog. Hope and dreams are the avenues through which lives are blessed and value is added. I knew someone once who refused to have any expectations of others so that they would never be dissappointed. They missed the cellebration of helping others to achieve their dreams and succeed. Eric, thanks for sharing and helping us to think about that which makes life more rewarding to live.
Thanks, David! I do believe that sometimes we have unrealistic expectations of others that result in constant frustration. The solution, of course, is not to remove all expectations. Rather, we can develop more realistic expectations of others realizing that they are human and are not always perfect. Also, we can focus on what we have control over in helping others meet these expectations.
Excellent thoughts Eric. I love your writings. Keep up the good work brother.
Dale, I hope you enjoyed your time in Miami!


Small dog breeds and large dog breeds require different types of dog beds. Choosing the best dog bed for small breeds depends on several considerations about the dog, your circumstances and style.
The ultimate dog bed for small breeds has to be the Mini Wolf Den from Tuffies. Made from the absolute softest, most luxurious faux fur, these little beds are irresistible and they satisfy everything a little dog needs.
Dachshound in Mini Wolf Den.
Tuffies Nest Beds are also great for small breeds.
If you are getting a puppy, you should buy him a small dog bed that gives warmth and comfort as your new puppy will need all the help you can give him during the worrying time after he leaves his mum and litter mates. A deep, soft and comforting bed is essential at this time, but puppies grow very fast and you would be wasting money if you don't buy with the growth of puppy in mind. To help with this, a simple trick is to get the correct size dog bed for the adult size and simply bolster it out with a nice blanket to fill the excess space so he feels snug while he is still a tiny puppy. If you can get a blanket that he had at home with his mum for bolstering the bed, you will give him the best chance of coping with the transition from mum to his new home. As he grows to his full size you can slowly give him more room by removing the blanket.
A great way of getting a dog bed for small breeds that can be used both as a small puppy bed and as a forever-bed is to get the Tuffies Puppy/Travel bed. This ideal dog bed comes in puppy size when it is folded over as a thick, soft puppy bed, which can be secured nicely with poppers. Once puppy grows too big for this bed, you can undo the poppers and use the bed that is now twice the size as a convenient, light travel bed to have in the car.
How big a bed you need for the adult dog of a small breed would depend on the habits of that particular breed. It would be worth asking the breeder if your type of breed tends to prefer sleeping curled up or lying flat out if you've not had that particular breed before. Always choose a bed that fits the sleeping position that is typical of your breed.
Some small dogs are often very cold, while others are bred differently and seem to suffer in the heat. This depends on their metabolism as well as the thickness of their coat. While it is very important to keep a little shivery dog warm, it is also important to make sure that dogs who easily overheat can be comfortable in a bed that is not too hot as well. Dog beds for small breeds that tend to overheat should simply be a soft and supportive mattress dog bed without sides. As long as the bed does not sit in constant draught, the dog can be cool and comfortable. Remember that the situation can change from winter to summer, so you might need to ensure that you know about the temperature in this space on a windy, cold winter's night.
As a general rule, smaller dogs need warmer beds. Their surface to volume ratio is such that they lose heat quicker and usually would benefit from a nice, warm bed that they can sink in to, away from any draught or sneaking cold. A little dog like that can always climb out to cool down if necessary, but that is fine, he has a choice.
One more little note regarding the dog's coat. It might be a good idea to be realistic in your choice of colour when you pick a small dog bed. Dogs inevitably shed hairs and if you choose a black dog bed for a little white Jack Russell, you will notice the dog hairs far more than if you had a dog bed with a cream background and black paw prints. The Durasoft Nest bed shown below has a practical fleece inner for a white dog.
The Fleece Lined Nest is also loved by small breeds.

For a dog, the dog bed is more than just a place to sleep! Dogs spend far more time on their beds than we humans do and they see their beds as their private territory, a place of peace and a place from where they can observe what is going on in the house. Some dogs, large or small, have a nervous streak in them and for them their dog bed can be an extremely important place to go for peace and tranquillity, not least if there is a lot of noise and children in the house. For a nervous small breed it is very easy to create a den for them, which appeals to their sense of security.
The Mini Wolf Den is designed to allow the dog to bury right in under for a feeling of security.
Tiny Breeds like miniature poodles LOVE the Mini Wolf Den.
The Tuffies nest bed with a Nest Sock over gives a perfect hide-away for a nervous dog and of course it keeps the heat in.
To keep a little dog warm, the Tuffies Nest Sock is fantastic.
Most smaller breeds are really quite clean and, in general, they do not spend as much time outside as larger breeds, hence they don't drag a lot of mud inside and onto their dog beds. However, some little dogs can be smelly and of course, some do enjoy the mud puddles just as much as larger breeds. There are some dogs that tend to smell a bit, for example the breeds with skin folds where a bit of a whiff can develop in the creases.
In order to keep everything smelling nicely, making sure that cleaning is easy is very important. The Mini Wolf Den washes well at 30 degrees Celsius, but it does benefit from just a dry cleaning instead. For dog beds for small breeds that need to be cleaned more often, a waterproof fabric with a removable, machine washable cover is absolutely ideal, for example a nest with a nest cover.
Choosing Dog Beds for Small Breeds Sharing with Larger Breeds.
Of course many dog owners have several dogs of various sizes. The hilarious situation is often that the larger dog will squeeze himself in to the little dog's bed leaving the big bed for the little dog! Not much you can do about this, but it is important that, even if the dogs seem to be happy to share their bedding, they should always have the choice of a bed each.
And on the opposite side, it's also common for small dogs to boss the bigger dog around as well. It is not unheard of that a Chihuahua demands the Labrador's dog bed leaving the dog bed for small breeds to the 30 kilo dog, who simply cannot fit in to the Mini Wolf Den. Chihuahuas can be very cocky and bossy, so if it is a regular occurrence, you might have to give the Labrador an alternative place to sleep (two large dog beds available for them both).
Looking after your dog during the winter means you have to try and think like a dog and go through a 24-hour period imagining where your dog is on a daily basis. Most dogs spend many, many hours on their <a href="https:/..


Philip Basford is a Senior Research Fellow in the Computational Engineering and Design group at the University of Southampton. He is currently employed on the Foundations for routine 3D X-ray histology project, working on improving software and hardware approaches for medical imaging with CT scanners.
Having completed a MEng in Computer Science with Distributed Systems and Networks at the Department of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), University of Southampton he decided to continue studying and undertook a PhD within the same department. During this time, he worked on the Glacsweb project, developing technologies to enable more detailed studying of the behaviour of glaciers.
During his PhD, he was awarded a 'Vice Chancellors Award' as part of the team that created Erica the Rhino. Erica is a fibreglass rhinoceros, modified to include 5 Raspberry Pi computers to control her eyes, and ears as well as touch screens, speakers, and LEDs, which respond to external stimuli.
Having completed his PhD in 2015; he stayed within ECS and worked on the Mountain Sensing project, investigating how Internet of Things (IoT) technologies can be applied to the challenges posed by environmental monitoring in harsh environments.
At the end of the Mountain Sensing project, he was given the opportunity to commercialise some research into archaeological imaging he had undertaken whilst doing his PhD. This has led to the development of a Geodesic RTI dome. This system enables photos of an object to be taken under different lighting conditions providing highly detailed image of ancient engravings, which can be used for study and translation.
Most recently he has been investigating the application of single board computer clusters to edge computing scenarios.

The aim of the Ocean Diver Training Programme is to train a diver who can dive in open water in controlled conditions to a maximum depth of 20m under the supervision of a Dive Marshall.
Aquanaut has a permanently running 7 week starter course (Ocean Diver), which has a 1.5 hour informal lecture, followed by 1 hour in the pool, every Friday evening starting 7:30pm.
Here a small group of new students meet with a qualified instructor in the lecture room, and working with the latest training aids including CD-Rom, OHP, photos and equipment, learn what they need to eventually take the short multiple choice test paper. Immediately after the lectures, this theory is put into practise in the nearby pool, leading to a series of practical sea sessions and a final practical assessment in the sea, which, when successfully completed will gain the Ocean Diver award from the internationally recognised British Sub Aqua Club.
Click Here to find out more about the four elements of the Ocean Diver training programme.
Aquanaut is a BSAC Premier School with tuition given by qualified instructors.


Everybody loves lasagna, and our fuss-free recipe makes it nice and easy: the pasta and sauce layer up beautifully without a lot of effort on your part. Just make sure to keep the heat nice and low so that the noodles cook through without the bottom burning. You can make the sauce ahead of time. Simply reheat it and proceed with the recipe.
To make the sauce: Put the skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low. When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10–15 minutes.
Add the zucchini, basil or oregano and cook, covered, until the zucchini is just golden and tender, about 10–15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and water and stir well. Turn the heat down to low and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Remove the lid and cook an additional 10 minutes.
Turn the heat off. Add the spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted.
Carefully slip 4 noodle pieces into the skillet, using their edges to slide them under to the bottom of the sauce, and using the spatula, push them down below the surface. Layer on another 4 noodle pieces, and then another 4, and push them all below the surface. Add the last 4 noodle pieces and spoon a little bit of the tomato mixture on top.
Add the ricotta, 1 tablespoon at a time, dotting the top with dollops. Sprinkle on the mozzarella and then the Parmesan cheese.
Reheat the skillet over low heat, cover and continue cooking until the cheese melts and the noodles are tender when you poke them with the tip of a knife, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the basil leaves. Turn off the heat and let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes.
