Adjustment of Stick Force by a Nonlinear Aileron-Stick Linkage
Description: Report presenting an application of the principle of aileron-stick forces and mechanical advantage to an aileron installation in which the stick forces are small over the low-deflection range and excessively large at full deflection.
Creator: Lowry, John G.
Aerodynamic Characteristics of Four NACA Airfoil Sections Designed for Helicopter Rotor Blades
Description: "The purpose of the present work is to extend the previous investigation and to derive additional airfoil sections designed to minimize the undesirable characteristics of the previously tested airfoils. The tests of these additional airfoils were made in the Langley two-dimensional low-turbulence tunnel (LTT)" (p. 2).

An analysis of the fatigue life of an airplane wing structure under overload conditions
Description: From Introduction: "Fatigue life expectancy in normal transport operations was investigated in reference 1 and was found to be of equal importance with single-gust life. The effect of overload operation of transport airplanes on the probability of encountering single critical gusts was investigated in reference 2 and the frequency of critical gusts was found to increase rapidly with overload. The effect of overload operation on fatigue strength, however, has not heretofore been evaluated, hence the investigations of references 1 and 2 are combined herein to permit such evaluation and to determine the relative importance of fatigue and single-gust failures under conditions of overload operation."
Creator: Putnam, Abbott A. & Reisert, Thomas D.
Application of Balancing Tabs to Ailerons
Description: Analysis was made to determine characteristics required of a balancing-tab system for ailerons in order to reduce aileron stick forces to any desired magnitude. Series of calculations based on section data were made to determine balancing-tab systems of various chord tabs and ailerons that will give, for a particular airplane, zero rate of aileron hinge moment with aileron deflection and yet will produce same maximum rate of roll as a plain unbalanced 15-percent chord aileron of same span. Effects of rolling velocity and of forces in tab link on aileron hinge moments have been included.
Creator: Sears, Richard I.
An Approximate Determination of the Power Required to Move Control Surfaces as Related to Control-Booster Design
Description: "As a part of a general investigation of control boosters, preliminary calculations were made to indicate the sizes of control boosters necessary to move the controls of airplanes of various sizes. The analysis was based on the assumption that the controls were moved with a rapidity and amplitude equal to that measured with a fighter airplane in simulated combat. A corollary purpose consisted in determining the effect on reducing booster-power unit size of incorporating an energy accumulator in the booster system" (p. 1).
Creator: Johnson, Harold I.
An Approximate Method of Shear-Lag Analysis for Beams Loaded at Right Angles to the Plane of Symmetry of the Cross Section
Description: Report discussing strain measurements made on a box beam of triangular cross section and on two beams of D-section under transverse bending. Information about the arrangement of the beams and experimental and calculated stresses for different boxes.
Creator: Kuhn, Paul & Brilmyer, Harold G.
An Automatically Variable Control Linkage and Its Effect on the Lateral-Control Characteristics of a High-Speed Fighter Airplane
Description: Report discusses an analysis and preliminary design of a control linkage that varies automatically with dynamic pressure. The advantages of the device, including greater lateral control than a fixed control linkage without additional aerodynamic balance, are detailed. The effect of variable linkage on lateral-control characteristics is also described.
Creator: Gillis, Clarence L.
The belt method for measuring pressure distribution
Description: "The measurement of pressure distribution may be accomplished rapidly for any number of locations deemed necessary in model or full-scale investigations by use of the 'belt' method. Reasonable accuracy may be obtained by careful use of this method" (p. 1).
Creator: Corson, Blake W., Jr.
Calculation of Stick Forces for an Elevator With a Spring Tab
Description: "Formulas for the calculation of hinge-moment characteristics of an elevator with a spring tab have been developed in terms of basic aerodynamic parameters, spring stiffness, and airspeed. The formulas have been used in a study of the stick-force gradients on a pursuit airplane equipped with an elevator with a spring tab. Charts are presented showing the variation of stick-force gradient in accelerated flight over a large range of speed and the complete range of spring stiffness for various center-of-gravity locations, altitudes, and airplane sizes" (p. 1).
Creator: Greenberg, Harry
Calculation of tab characteristics for flight conditions from wind-tunnel data
Description: Report presenting tail-surface characteristics calculated from wind-tunnel data, which have been reported to not correspond with flight-test measurements. The primary problem under consideration is the calculation of the effect of tab deflection on the free-floating angle of the elevator, as in a servocontrol.
Calculations of Intake-Air Cooling Resulting From Water Injection and of Water Recovery From Exhaust Gas
Description: Report discussing some calculations made for the effects of water in cooling the inlet air of aircraft-engine cylinders. From Summary: "The estimates indicate that the cooling effect of the water on the inlet air can be more extensive than the cooling now obtained with the intercoolers or aftercoolers in the air-induction system. In connection with water recovery from the exhaust gas, the estimates indicate that sufficient water can be recovered from 50 percent of the exhaust gas to provide an inducted water-fuel ratio of 0.5."
Creator: Rothrock, Addison M.
Comparative Fatigue Tests of Riveted Joints of Alclad 24S-T, Alclad 24S-T81, Alclad 24S-RT, Alclad 24S-T86 and Alclad 75S-T Sheet
Description: Report discusses testing performed to determine the fatigue strength of various types of riveted and spot-welded joints in the following aluminum alloys: Alclad 24S-T, 24S-RT, 758-T, 24S-T81, and 24S-T86. Details of the experiment, tensile properties, and information about failure are provided.
Creator: Moore, R. L. & Hill, H. N.
Comparative Tests of the Strength and Tightness of Commercial Flush Rivets of One Type and NACA Flush Rivets in Machine-Countersunk and Counterpunched Joints
Description: Report discusses an investigation that was conducted to compare the strength and tightness of machine-countersunk flush-riveted joints assembled with NACA flush rivets and a type of commercial flush rivet. A comparison was also generated between the strength and tightness of counterpunched flush-riveted joints assembled with the same types of rivet. NACA's flush-riveted joints tended to be stronger and tighter than the commercial joints.
Creator: Mandel, Merven W.
A Comparison of Data Obtained by Two Flight Techniques for Determining the Sideslip Characteristics of a Fighter Airplane
Description: Report discusses data obtained from measuring sideslip characteristics via the continuous-record method and the steady-record method. The situations in which each recording method is preferred are presented.
Comparison of Structural Efficiencies of Diagonal-Tension Webs and Truss Webs of 24S-T Aluminum Alloy
Description: "A comparison is made of the structural efficiencies of truss webs of 24S-T aluminum alloy with previously published values of the structural efficiencies of diagonal-tension webs of 24S-T aluminum alloy on the basis of identical allowable stresses. It is concluded that the diagonal-tension beam (web and flanges) can usually be built to be a more efficient beam than the truss beam, even though over a small range the web of a Warren truss beam is slightly more efficient than the web of a diagonal-tension beam" (p. 1).
Creator: Ochiltree, David W.
Comparison of tightness of 78 degrees machine-countersunk rivets driven in holes prepared with 78 degrees and 82 degrees countersinking tools
Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine whether the use of a 78 degree countersinking tool instead of a 82 degree countersinking tool for riveting would substantially alter the conclusion reached in a previous paper regarding the placement of rivets for maximum strength.
Creator: Gottlieb, Robert & Mandel, Merven W.
Computation of the Mean Tangential Velocity of the Air Leaving the Blade Tips of a Centrifugal Supercharger
Description: Report discusses the differences between the mean tangential velocity of the air leaving the blade tips of a centrifugal supercharger calculated by the conventional turbine equation and by an equation that uses the isentropic increase in total enthalpy. The velocities are compared to experimental values observed with three diffusers.
Creator: Brown, W. Byron
Critical Compressive Stress for Curved Sheet Supported Along All Edges and Elastically Restrained Against Rotation Along the Unloaded Edges
Description: "A formula is given for the critical compressive stress for slightly curved sheet with equal elastic restraints against rotation along the unloaded edges. The theory of small deflections is used and the formula reduces to that given by Timoshenko for the case of simply-supported edges. For larger curvatures, a modification of Redshaw's formula to include the effect of edge restraint is suggested" (p. 1).
Creator: Stowell, Elbridge Z.
Cylinder-Head Cooling by Means of a Shield in the Exhaust Passage
Description: "Tests were run on a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with a Wright C9GC cylinder to determine the improvement in cylinder-head cooling that can be obtained by building into the exhaust passage an insulating shield designed to protect the valve-guide boss and the exhaust-passage walls from the exhaust gas. The test results showed an appreciable improvement in cooling of the exhaust-valve-guide boss, of the guide bushing, and of the valve seat" (p. 1).
Creator: Wilsted, H. D. & Mulcahy, B. A.
A Description of the Ju 88 Airplane Anti-Icing Equipment
Description: Bulletin presenting an examination of a part of the anti-icing equipment for a Ju 88 airplane, including exhaust-air heat exchangers, control valves, air duct system, and air-heated wing panels. Testing was performed on the components and indicated that the thermal ice-prevention equipment can maintain the outer-wing panel free from ice.
Creator: Rodert, Lewis A. & Jackson, Richard
Determination From Flight Tests of Thrust Coefficients for 10 Full-Scale Airplanes in the Gliding Condition With Engine Idling
Description: "Typical thrust and torque coefficients and increments, due to the propeller, in the ratio of the dynamic pressure at the tail to the free-stream dynamic pressure are presented for 10 full-scale airplanes. Calculations indicate that an error of about 2 percent mean aerodynamic chord appears possible in determining the neutral point from wind-tunnel tests or a model in the gliding condition if the propeller is operated at zero thrust rather than at the values of thrust coefficient indicated by the flight tests" (p. 1).
Creator: Talmage, Donald B.
Determination of desirable lengths of Z- and channel-section columns for local-instability tests
Description: From Summary: "Local-instability tests of 24S-T aluminum-alloy formed Z- and channel-section columns were made in order to determine a length of test specimen that would avoid the increased strength associated with short lengths and also permit the occurrence of a convenient buckling pattern. The effect of column length on the critical compressive stress, on the average stress at maximum load, and on the number of half-waves of the buckling pattern is shown."
Creator: Heimerl, George J. & Roy, J. Albert
Determination of Iron Contamination of Used Lubricating Oil for Use in Measuring Rates of Wear in Aircraft Engines
Description: Report discusses methods of determining the iron contamination of used lubricating oil in order to study wear rates of piston rings and cylinder barrels of aircraft engines. Two methods of separating iron from used lubricating oil are presented. The results of the analyses of the oil are presented and the methods are evaluated.
Creator: Tischler, Adelbert O.
Dilution of Exhaust-Gas Samples From a Multicylinder Engine Equipped With an Exhaust-Gas Collector
Description: Report discusses the results of an investigation to determine the effect of a collector ring on exhaust-gas sampling. The results of tests to determine the percentage by volume of exhaust gas from the collector ring are presented for several engine powers and speeds. The danger of air dilution from the breathing action of the engine is almost entirely eliminated by the use of a collector ring.

Q: Страуструп , какую книгу выбрать? Прочитал, разобрал и понял половину Шилдта "С++ базовый курс" а теперь появилось желание перейти на Страуструпа, только у него 2 книги "Принципы и практика использования С++" а также "Язык программирования С++"
P.S. у Шилдта ООП еще не трогал, как раз до него дошел

Дополненение исходя из ответов: Есть 2 варианта:
1) Шилдта бросаю и начинаю "Принципы и практика", а потом "Язык программирования".
2) Дочитываю Шилдта и сразу начинаю "Язык программирования".
Скажите какой выбрать а то мнения разнятся.
+P.S. в "Принципы и практика" ООП вроде как не рассматривается
+P.S. сразу начинать "Язык программирования" не хочу, с самого начала идет сложновато пока что для меня
A: Прочитай от корки до корки сначала "Принципы и практика использования С++", а все что не понятно или захочешь по больше узнать тонкостей можешь смотреть в "Язык программирования С++".

A: в fb2 версии, что у меня, ООП начинается с 11-й главы(стр 547\1322)
получается что ты ещё толком ничего не прочитал...
так что лучше дочитай до конца и потренируйся... а уже потом переходи на страуструпа

я сам по ней учился, для совсем новенького книга хорошая. Но в ней многого не указано а кое что взрослые программисты в этой  книге назовут "говнокодом" например это
three_d operator+(three_d op2);
three_d operator=(three_d op2);

но опять таки для неопытного это как раз "базовый курс".
A: Страуструп 4-е издание, так же очень хорошо прочитать Мейерса "Эффективное использование C++" и его же "Эффективное использование STL".
A: Если бы передо мной сейчас стоял такой выбор, то я бы начал штудировать "Язык программирования С++" 4-е издание. Почему именно его? Ну, во-первых в нём появилось описание нового стандарта, а во-вторых я начинал разбирать 3-е издание, и оно мне жутко понравилось, но поддержки нового стандарта там ещё не было, поэтому пришлось покупать одноимённую книгу С. Прата (6-е издание).
A: У Страуструпа в самом начале дан самый важный совет - Лучший способ научиться программировать - это программировать. Начните уже программировать, хватит книги листать, а в процессе и книга найдётся, та, которая лично вам понятна для восприятия.
A: Однозначно Страуструп
A: Попробуйте почитать Professional C++ (Wrox Professional Guides)

I hope that Meridian consider to add this soon.
There's a minor bug I noticed by reading Slaughter's LP: The "Public Transport" pic from the 'pedia should show the vehicle's speed, but in my version it doesn't say so for some reason. Attaching a screenshot.
It should be in the final line.
Edit : And the last alien is in this building where there isn't any passage.
I already had this problem on an earth mission!
Fortunately there is this "debug" that goes off. Thank you!
Do you want this error reported for each map type?
Not meant as an insult, just as frustrated/disappointed comment.
I am moderator and modder on another site and for another game.
You have to breathe deeply and tell yourself that as modellers you don't have the same vision of things and therefore some things that seem simple to us are not for an end user.
... how serious should I take feedback here, if features you're asking for as "must haves" are actually there for a long time and you ignore them? Or maybe you even didn't find them (which would be even worse)?
I prefer to consider that my ignorance of the English language does not make me believe that your remarks are at the limit of insult.
Just say it already exists.
This function would be interesting for the vehicle/vessel/aircraft loading screen.
But the right click is already used on this screen.
But the possibility of viewing only the objects already on board is already a very good thing.
For the manufacturing screen it's interesting too!
But not for the Sales screen.
I'm a very old UFO and TFTD player.
Recently I discovered OpenXcom. That's beautiful.
And now I discover OXCE+ and XFiles.
Unbelievable! Congratulations on your work! Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo! And thank you!
I had the same problem with an added Mod in OXCE+!
The only solution I found was to change the' HandOb' images.
They are not missing, you just didn't install OXCE+ properly.
I don't see what caused this mistake!
But it doesn't matter because I like this "mistake"!
Maybe that's because I kept all the lines (#Extended+ BEGIN /.../ #Extended+ END) in the yml files.
While these lines have disappeared since your lastest version.
I added them to the yml files!
These are issues with original TFTD game data files.
Hopefully, when OpenXcom 2.0 comes out, there will be an universal patch for that... similar to the existing patch for UFO Defense.
This fix is already active in my games.
I don't think that's the cause of the error.
Sorry I have a bug in tactic mission.

OpenXcom Extended / Re: Black rectangle instead of armour.
I think the "HandObj" images are not correct.
Black rectangle instead of armour in tactical mission.
Same "bug" in OXCE+ v3.9c and 3.10a !
I'm new to using the OXCE+ package.
I use the same graphical filter parameters as in the Nightly version. By default : deactivated !
Work fine in the Nightly version.
I tested all the graphical filters but I have the same bug.
With no mod armor or with mod Armor_Moriarty it's the same!

Types of Dentures, and how to clean and maintain them.
Though dentures do not provide the ideal remedy for missing teeth (of all the treatments available, dental implants must take that honor), they still offer a very effective method of restoring dental functionality. Vastly experienced, our team of dental specialists provides dentures that are comfortable to wear, natural-looking and help you regain your ability to bite and chew with extreme ease.
Dentures are custom-made dental appliances that replace an individual's missing teeth to restore their lost oral functions and enhancing their appearance. Depending on, whether the person has lost all of their teeth in one or both the arches, or a few of them, they may need complete or partial dentures.
Used when a person is missing all of their teeth, in either the bottom or top arch or both, complete dentures provide a cost-effective way to restore normal oral functions – biting and chewing – in addition to improving the person's appearance.
Dentures are not the preferred solution to missing teeth these days, with other options – namely dental implants and bridges – finding increasing acceptability among people. However, dentures do serve a useful purpose, and can help you perform routine oral activities by replacing your missing tooth/teeth.
Immediate DenturesThese are dentures that are created before your teeth have been extracted, so that they can be inserted immediately after the teeth are removed. Immediate dentures are usually viewed as transitional dentures because of their limited functionality and esthetics. Requiring a great deal of post-insertion adjustment, they have to be repeatedly refitted with a reline material for about 9 months. After 9 months have been completed the reline material is removed to reline the dentures with the Acrylic that makes the rest of the set.
Conventional DenturesThese are made once your gums have healed after the teeth have been removed – it usually takes 2-3 months for the gums to completely heal from the strainof teeth extraction. Conventional dentures provide superior oral functions and esthetics. However, even they require relining for 9-12 months, because of gum shrinkage in post-extraction patients.
Cast Metal partial denturesThese partial dentures have cast metal frameworks that are usually made from chrome cobalt alloys. The denture's framework is cast to perfectly fit your teeth. Because of their near perfect alignment Cast Metal dentures are considered highly stable and retentive. A big plus offered by these dentures is that sore spots are rarely an issue as the framework does not make any significant contact with the gums. Slight alterations to the teeth might be required to ensure that the dentures rest upon them without causing any interference to the way you bite and chew your food.
Flexite partial denturesMade of a nylon-based thermoplastic, partial removable dentures of the Flexite brand are flexible, comfortable and long-lasting. These dentures blend naturally with your gums. In fact Flexite dentures appear so natural that its difficult to tell them apart from natural pearly whites. They offer the durability of cast metal partials, while being extremely flexible, and enjoy great popularity among dentists and their patients alike.
We fabricate both complete and partial dental dentures of the highest quality. Many people have benefitted from our unwavering commitment to their oral care. Get your dentures today to start enjoying the numerous pleasures of having a full set of teeth.

From "OTONEN – A Guide to the Stage of Initiate", Vindex Press 1989, 1999.
For many non-initiates and, unfortunately Initiates (an indication perhaps of the current state of the 'Occult world' itself), it is often misunderstood that the performance of a Rite of Initiation will bring forth immediate psychic change is noticeable in the individual; this itself will most likely be due to the intensity of the Rite of Initiation. But whether such change has a lasting effect is another question, it being more likely that such immediate change will slowly evaporate as time passes. Another exception is that although there will have been no real or genuine inner change the Initiate will fall prey to one of the many delusions of the Abyss and believe that a change has occurred against all indications that tell otherwise (q.v. The Deceitful Occult Ego). So, although immediate change within the Initiate is possible, a more balanced and natural approach is to perceive Initiation as a process. It may be – and often actually is – physically desirable for the beginning of this process to be symbolized by the outer form of an Initiation Ritual (be it hermetic or ceremonial).
Along the Seven-Fold Sinister Way these Initiation rites (for in one sense all the rituals involved during the various stages of the Sinister Way are initiation rites in themselves) are primarily concerned with presenting the Darkness or acausal component of the psyche in the conscious world, or mind, of the Initiate. This enables the consciousness of the Initiate (that is, where the individual is largely controlled by unconscious desires or impulses) to that of Initiate (where the Satanist begins to comprehend and interact consciously with these previously unconscious components) and then on to Adepthood where these energies are consciously understood enabling a certain balance to be attained between causal and acausal.
As each new Initiate progresses along the Sinister Path, it is expected that individual insights will add to the Tradition as a whole (the Heir to the Tradition adding significantly). Whether this does or does not happen is really dependent upon the Initiate and the quality of his or her contact with the Sinister Tradition. If the Path is genuinely followed, that is, if the Sinister is being actively pursued during the daily life of the Initiate (such pursuit or questing being a continuous act, and thereby a development of individual Will) genuine occult transformation will begin to occur. With this transformation it is possible that variations on some Sinister Rituals may arise whereby the Initiate finds a more powerful method of manifesting the acausal during the rite.
The rituals that are of primary concern for the Initiate are the Dark Pathways and the Sinister Pathworkings. Besides these rituals – which will already, if followed continuously, begin to dominate the Initiate's consciousness – there are the individual sphere chants to be learnt, the undertaking of physical training, the study and practice of the Star Game, the study of Order texts and correspondences, the collation of incenses and the purchasing of specific implements for the future Temple. In regard to this latter aspect, by undertaking such actions these actions themselves will or may (dependent upon Individual Destiny) aid to the manifestation or creation of a Sinister Temple. That is to say, that by purchasing or making items that are specifically for a Sinister Temple, the reality of that (future) Temple is becoming presenced in the causal life of that Initiate.
Further to previous Order guidelines, a new method of Initiate development advises that the Initiate begins with the Dark Pathways themselves (instead of the Sinister Sphereworkings). The aim is to invoke one Dark God per week, meditating each night leading up to the ritual for no less than fifteen minutes on the respective sigil whilst slowly repeating the name of the Dark God or the World of Power. Combined with this the Initiate should aim to reduce sleep and food until the night of the ritual whilst also locating the respective planetary incense (taken from the bark of the respective tree) and burning this, during this, during the ritual. Once all Dark Pathways have been experienced, the Initiate may then undertake the Sinister Pathworkings, performing the nightly meditations. The following of the Sinister Path in this manner, implies that the Initiate has already recreated or made conscious the Tree of Wyrd within him or herself, by consciously invoking each of the fundamental archetypes into consciousness. This conscious presenting of the archetypes thean being further developed by the Sphere Meditations themselves.
Besides the primary rituals that are required for the completion of Sinister Initaition, it is advisable that the initiate purchases – or contracts a jeweler to make – the relevant piece of jewelry to be worn (ring set with quartz for males, quartz necklace for females). The wearing of such an item of jewelry further stimulates the Initiate's awareness that he or she is a member of a Tradition, one that is far more important and potent than the frankly rather pathetic past-times that most people takes as an interest or hobby. This ring or necklace becomes for the Initiate a 'Mark of Satan', a symbol of the Initiate's quest and a constant reminder of the Sinister in the Initiate's life, that is the Initiate is constantly aware that he or she is wearing and outward symbol – that others can see – of his or her Sinister Quest.
When all the different factors or tasks of Sinister Initiation are combined the Initiate's entrance into the Sinister becomes a very potent force, one that is active (by virtue of the fact that the Initiate is consciously realizing or making real the Sinister in his or her life).
The practice of the chants is, as mentioned previously, a further task of the Sinister Way. Although this does not necessarily have to be undertaken during the stage of Initiate, it is advisable to begin to learn these so that once the Grade of Professed Brother or Sister is attained, the Sinister Magickian may be a little more prepared for the running of a Sinister Temple. By virtue of the fact that there are a number of chants that will need to be learned for use during Sinister ceremonial ritual it is usually advisable that the Diabolus is the first chant to be learned. Besides this the sphere chants are probably the next most important (the Agios Lucifer chant being ideal to begin with) since they provide a foundation for a number of rituals, and can be – and have been – used during the Dark Pathways Invokations.
There are of course a number of other tasks that are suggested, some new and some more Traditional aspects. One of the older and more secretive tasks is for the Sinister Initiate to gain some hosts from a Nazarene place of worship and desecrate these either during or after the Rite of Initiation. If one is seeking to join an existing Temple it will be necessary to have attained these prior to Initiation for use during Initiation, such an acquisition further proving the worth of the candidate.
A more recent addition to Tradition is that whilst the Initiate is undertaking the Dark Pathways, he or she draws a Tree of Wyrd in his or her Magickal Diary or 'Sinister Book of Shadows'. This map however should only be added to once a Dark Pathway has been concluded. Thus, the Initiate begins by drawing the seven spheres, in appropriate sphere colors. Then, once the Noctulius Pathway is completed this is drawn in, then the Shugara Pathway is drawn in and so on. This in itself adds (albeit in a minor way) to the conscious integration of the energies being brought forth as enabling the Initiate to see – in physical terms – how the Pathways are connected to the spheres and one another.
How easy it is to miss these simple statements that describe the very means to achieve Sinister Adepthood. Perhaps if more Initiates actually did what was said by virtue of an act of Will then there might be more Sinister Adepts in the world. But things are as they are and human weakness is usually the cause of a waste of life, of potential. So, it is necessary, if the Sinister Initiate truly seeks an understanding that cannot be taken away from him or her, to follow the way as stated in numerous Order MSS. It is necessary to face the challenges that are set before the Initiate. At this stage there is no need to look too far ahead. Rather it is better to keep ones mind and thoughts on the current stage, because it is by following this stage now, and then the stage of External Adept, that the heights of the stage of Sinister Adept may finally be approached.
Thus, with all this in mind although the Initiate may have a tendency to say that it is not necessary to meditate upon the sigil of the Dark God each night prior to the Dark Pathways Invokations, such meditations really do enhance the energies brought forth and, after an unspecified amount of time has passed (dependent of course upon each Initiate) the Initiate will start to feel the acausal body surrounding the causal body.

I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.

With the use of Planet BOFA, Primary Online is proud the be different; it is the only online teaching system to build a unique experience around each pupil. We test, tutor, retest and track your child's progress, boosting learning at every stage with a laser-focus on weaker areas.
Primary Online is a unique online learning platform, where every question comes as a triplet. Primary Online supplies an initial test, followed by tailored teaching and learning. We then retest at a later date with a slightly different question. Primary Online then creates helpful subject reports which you can use with your child or pass on to a tutor, saving valuable time for all concerned.
The first stage a pupil will encounter whilst they are learning with Primary Online is an Initial Test. This is used to determine which topics a pupil is already comfortable with, and where Primary Online can help them to improve. Praise is given for correct answers, and the incorrectly answered questions are used to personalise the next part of the process.
Moving on to the practice and explanation stage, a similar question is used to explain to the pupil where they went wrong and how to improve next time. The pupil then answers a question to allow them to practice, and further bespoke teaching and explanation is given if this is required.
Primary Online saves time by only teaching topics that pupils need to learn; pupils enjoy the independent learning with regular praise.
This is what makes Primary Online so special, the attention to detail that allows us to nurture the potential in every child.
Our fully bespoke, holistic learning programme is loved by kids, preferred by schools and tutors, and is easy for the whole family to use. Welcome to the next generation of primary learning.
Access to an unbeatable learning tool that will propel your child to Primary success (created by million-plus selling Bond Assessment author Andrew Baines).

Vessel is a subscription video service launched in 2015 by the early team behind Hulu, including former CEO Jason Kilar and Richard Tom.
The service resembles that of YouTube, whereby a viewer can watch videos for free. However viewers can add "Early Access" at a monthly fee to their account, which allows them to view videos a minimum of 72 hours before the video is released to the general public. Vessel has since created mobile applications for iOS and Android devices which optimizes the videos for mobile viewing.
The idea behind the site was that creators would be able to gain more revenue from their videos than on YouTube due to the subscription fee as well as advertisements.
Since the site was created, YouTube stars such as Linus Sebastian, Connor Franta, Caspar Lee, Tanya Burr, Good Mythical Morning, Marcus Butler, Kent Heckel and Jack Vale have signed up to have their content streamed on Vessel.

Seismology (/saɪzˈmɒlədʒi/; from Greek σεισμός "earthquake" and -λογία "study of") is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of elastic waves through the Earth or through other planet-like bodies. The field also includes studies of earthquake environmental effects, such as tsunamis as well as diverse seismic sources such as volcanic, tectonic, oceanic, atmospheric, and artificial processes (such as explosions). A related field that uses geology to infer information regarding past earthquakes is paleoseismology. A recording of earth motion as a function of time is called a seismogram. A seismologist is a scientist who does research in seismology.
Scholarly interest in earthquakes can be traced back to antiquity. Early speculations on the natural causes of earthquakes were included in the writings of Thales of Miletus (c. 585 BCE), Anaximenes of Miletus (c. 550 BCE), Aristotle (c. 340 BCE) and Zhang Heng (132 CE).
In 132 CE, Zhang Heng of China's Han dynasty designed the first known seismoscope.

An analysis of hundreds of COVID-19 cases suggests that face masks are most protective in specific circumstances, such as exposure to a person with COVID-19 that lasts for more than three hours or that takes place indoors1.
The study shows that several of the measures that are collectively known as non-pharmaceutical interventions — such as physical distancing, keeping interactions outdoors and wearing masks — "are in fact helpful" for preventing SARS-CoV-2 transmission, says study co-author Joseph Lewnard, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Berkeley. Previous studies2,3 provided evidence that masking helps to protect against infection, but the latest work shows that it is beneficial even when other measures, such as distancing, aren't in use.
Close encounters with COVID-19
Although vaccinations and medical treatments are key to controlling the pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions remain important public health measures. But it's difficult to measure the effectiveness of these interventions in real-world settings.
To address this challenge, Lewnard, Seema Jain, a medical epidemiologist at the California Department of Public Health in Richmond, and their colleagues studied cases from roughly 1,280 people in California who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 between February and September 2021. For each person with COVID-19, the researchers sought out at least one control participant: someone who matched them for factors such as age and sex but who tested negative during the same time period. Participants who'd been exposed to someone known to have COVID-19 provided details about the encounter, such as the setting and duration.
COVID and schools: the evidence for reopening safely
The study found that participants who were not fully vaccinated had the greatest risk of infection when they reported an exposure to someone with COVID-19 that occurred indoors or that lasted for more than three hours. Participants exposed to someone with COVID-19 had lower odds of infection if masks were worn at the encounter than if they weren't. "This protection is especially important for people who were not yet vaccinated," says Lewnard. But encounters where masks were worn were linked with additional protection for vaccinated participants, too.
Jain says that the analysis also suggests that masks provide the greatest benefit during high-risk exposures — those lasting for more than three hours, occurring indoors or involving a person from another household. Masking did not show a clear benefit when the participant made direct physical contact with a person known to have COVID-19 or when that person was a member of the participant's household.
The results, which have not yet been peer reviewed, were published on the preprint server medRxiv.
Face masks for COVID pass their largest test yet
Some scientists are not entirely convinced by the findings. Natalie Dean, a biostatistician at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, thinks that non-pharmaceutical interventions are beneficial, but she is hesitant to accept the paper's estimates of the size of the benefits. That is in part, she says, because of potential biases introduced by the study's case-control design.
Grant Brown, a biostatistician at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, is also cautious about the study's precise figures on masking's benefits, because of the study's matching of case and control individuals. "Even so, it's a reasonable approach to a hard problem," he says. He also notes that the results are supported by studies on the mechanisms of viral shedding.
Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, an epidemiologist and physician at the University of California, San Francisco, notes that the study began before the rise of the highly transmissible Delta variant, and she, too, agrees that matching infected people with control participants is a challenge. But she says that the authors went to great lengths to overcome this limitation, and the result is a "well designed and well executed" study. The findings, she says, fill a gap in knowledge about the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions — and could therefore help to inform policies to control viral spread.

Sherri W. Morr is onto something very important. Yet, I can imagine all the "privacy" and "philosophical conflict" arguments raised against mining on-line data to better align potential donor interests with the work of philanthropic organizations. If we are honest, those of us involved in resource development (both financial and human) have been doing just that "offline" for generations – using personal & professional networking and published financial, business and other news reports to identify and track potential donors and their interests. It's time for non-profit philanthropic organizations to proudly step into this arena (some already have – haven't you noticed you're being targeted in your in-box and web browser as well as your snail mail box?) and then help our donors and others find creative outlets for their philanthropic and altruistic goals. This should be a win-win for the donors and organizations. Now, let's find those web designers, social networking entrepreneurs & software engineers who want to ply their skills toward making the world a better place for all and help them find their way into the universe of non-profit marketing and promotion. Bring on the future or, in this case, bring non-profits into the present!
Perhaps "all the best and brightest Jewish men and women who understand these things" are being paid competitive salaries by for-profit organizations? Could the problem be that the majority, admittedly not all, of Jewish non-profits don't pay the salaries required to get the best and the brightest…?

What the bold new BrahMos can do for India in its latest avatar
From its earliest avatar as a supersonic anti-ship missile, BrahMos has come a long way.
Jugal R Purohit
@JRPur
Days before China-Pakistan cooperation was taken to the next level by side-stepping India's concerns over Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Army chief General Bipin Rawat had played with a straight bat before an audience in the national capital.
On the morning of May 4, he exhorted the need to identify the "strategic deficiency" that was plaguing the country. The 27th chief of the Indian Army then lamented how an undivided India had even "reached up to the Middle East something that the creation of Pakistan put a break to".
He highlighted the necessity of "developing alliances, developing friends to overcome this deficit". It would be through the relentless pursuit of such partnerships that India would be able to create, in his words, not only "a two-front dilemma for our western neighbour (Pakistan), but also an encirclement of our northern neighbour (China) from the west".
Most observers would agree that linkages develop through a variety of processes which have to be clear and consistent. Such associations encompass political support, or training of personnel, or supply of hardware, or all of the above.
While India has been achieving incremental progress by imparting training to friendly forces, exporting patrol boats, helicopters, spares, and radars notching up a high of Rs 2,000 crore in export value recently, the Army chief is not satisfied.
Before concluding, Rawat complained about India's "Chanakyaniti that we rarely practice" and the habit of "forgetting what we have with us".
That brings us to a journey that began two decades ago – the Indo-Russian venture, BrahMos Aerospace.
From its earliest avatar as a supersonic anti-ship missile (test-fired for the first time on June 12, 2001), BrahMos has come a long way.
The reason I bring this up is because herein lies the perfect bridge between Army chief's intentions and a proven, yet unutilised capability that can help transform relationships like few others can.
From its earliest avatar as a supersonic anti-ship missile (test-fired for the first time on June 12, 2001), BrahMos has come a long way. Today, the system can additionally be used to attack targets on land-from-land as well as from the sea, as recently demonstrated by the Indian Army (May 3, 2017) and the Indian Navy (April 21, 2017).
From ships, it can be fired either vertically or horizontally (to cover a 360 degree envelope) and from land, it can be fired in a way that it can carry out even a perpendicular, steep dive to bust an enemy hiding behind a cliff.
On March 11 this year, when the country was busy counting votes at the end of a hotly contested election season across states, the BrahMos team demonstrated that it could take the missile from its earlier limit of 290km to an "extended range" of 450 km "without major modifications".
In the words of its chief executive officer and managing director, Sudhir Kumar Mishra, who in an interview to me earlier this year had said, the BrahMos team is looking at making "the Indian Air Force (IAF) the only one capable of firing the heaviest missile using the biggest launcher".
This will be done by enabling the Sukhoi 30 MKI to carry a lighter version of the BrahMos weighing 2.4 tonnes and firing it on a land- as well as sea-based target. While this was to take place in the month of March, a delay of a few months should hardly matter in an evolution of this magnitude.
An excited IAF is said to have kept 40 of its frontline Sukhoi 30 MKI earmarked for this missile once the BrahMos team matches promise with delivery.
Even the Russians who're yet to integrate the BrahMos into their armed forces are looking at this with anticipation, Mishra confirmed.
It is not a secret that India's armed forces swear by the accuracy and lethality of the BrahMos. In the near future, having already demonstrated its capability to fire from an underwater platform, the BrahMos team will look at miniaturising the missile to fire it from submarines, fighter jets, and further extend its range and convert it into a hypersonic missile, which will take it from 2.8 times the speed of sound it achieves at present, to nearly six times.
Promises of a rosy future apart, here is what Mishra told me about what his team could achieve even at a short notice. "While we haven't exactly carried out a detailed work, the capability does exist within us to come out with a new generation of missiles only for exports which will have a shorter range and can be produced in numbers at much-lower costs. We are ready to meet any objective. It is for the government to tell us whom to export, how much to export, and when to export. We are ready and waiting for the go-ahead."
Highly placed sources have confirmed that Russia (49.5 per cent partner in BrahMos Aerospace) is on-board with the export of the system as long as it does not harm its interest and can earn revenue.
India is now the 35th member of the "informal" Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) and is making efforts to get into the Wassenaar Group. Nothing, as of now, holds us back from having the partnership Russia did with us before we made it into the MTCR.
In other words, nothing prevents India from exporting the missiles, Mishra says, his team can come up with.
Yet the combined waters of the Brahmaputra and Moskva continue to remain placid.
On July 18, 2014, defence minister Arun Jaitley said in Parliament, "At present, there is no proposal to export Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), Tejas and BrahMos Supersonic Cruise Missile. However, both LCA, Tejas and BrahMos missile are export-worthy products. Presently, production facilities are being used for indigenous requirements."
The inertia in the above statement is matched by the manner of going around in circles in the statement below when in an interview to me in February this year, the then defence minister Manohar Parrikar had said, "The government has got no-objection certificates (NOCs) for the export of this BrahMos and now the company has to carry it out. The in-principle approval has come and detailed one will follow."
Countries such as Vietnam, South Africa, South Korea, Chile, UAE, Oman, Indonesia, Malaysia and more have reportedly been interested. Fortunately, while the earlier regime wasn't as keen, "with this one, there is encouragement", say those in the know.
However, conversations with decision-makers have revealed that India's proposals have floundered at one level or the other. "Some nations have sought the transfer of technology which isn't something we are comfortable with, whereas others feel that the price is too high," he said. India has even tried selling the missile by offering to integrate it into naval ships to some countries, but nothing seems to have materialised.
A senior functionary, who did not wish to be identified, said, "A big push is needed. Companies can do their bit, but the government has to step in. It is the government, which has to decide if and when it wants to act."
The government must not waste time. It can act by appointing a full-time defence minister, to begin with.

How 8x8 Uses OOH Advertising to Make Its $30M Marketing Spend More Profitable
This is the untold story of how a technology innovator is taking on a $55B communication tech market. Learn how a public company with $300M+ in revenue is reaching and engaging new audiences by aligning human creativity with the core principles of performance marketing.
The Voice over IP (VoIP) calling market is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, with a market size that will hit $55B by 2025. But becoming a leader in this sector isn't going to be easy—there's fierce competition in this ecosystem, particularly among businesses that each have their own unique value propositions. The ability to reach the right audiences, at key decision-making moments, is mission-critical for companies like 8x8, which has created an integrated platform for communication, collaboration, and data access that moves "at the speed of business."
That's why the company turned to out-of-home (OOH) channels—and AdQuick, in particular—to increase the efficiency and impact of its $30M performance marketing program.
"We are the only company in our industry that is fully unified and owns the entire technology stack," explains Ken Suzuki, marketing director at 8x8. "That value proposition gives us a position in the VoIP market that no other company can bring to the table. When we increase brand awareness, we become more efficient across all marketing channels, especially search and display. If we get more out of our marketing budget, it will always grow—and our company's revenues will grow, too."
Since the Silicon Valley company's founding in 1987, 8x8 has grown to $300M in annual revenue, having navigated a series of twists and turns over the last decade. The company is a Gartner designed leader and has been awarded 128 patents computer related to semiconductors, computer architecture, vid eo processing algorithms, videophones, communications technologies, and securities.
Growth, for an already high-performing company, means making its marketing funnel more efficient on the conversion-side—connecting the dots between the moment of brand discovery, along the path to purchase. Growth also means venturing into untapped markets and getting creative with brand development programs.
How AdQuick unlocks new, highly profitable growth gateways
Across the board, digital marketing ecosystems are becoming more saturated with information—and more expensive, as a result. The 8x8 team needed a way to grow its marketing impact with minimal impact to its overall budget. Seeking advertising channels that deliver high quality at a low cost, Suzuki came across AdQuick through a referral from one of 8x8's agency partners. He learned that OOH CPMs, through the AdQuick platform, would be lower than digital channels. He quickly saw an opportunity to generate a higher return on his team's existing marketing spend.
"There's something to be said about a static billboard," says Suzuki, who began his performance marketing career almost two decades ago. "It's always going to be there. If you're driving down the same highway every morning at 7:45, it's going to reach audiences for however long you purchase the placement. It's probably the least expensive."
In January 2019, OOH marketing became a focal point of 8x8's marketing mix. After working with AdQuick to run a test campaign in New York consisting of billboards, taxi ads, and transit station ads, Suzuki and his team drove a 350 percent increase in website conversions and 400 percent in region-specific brand awareness, according to a brand-lift study. Based on these early results, Suzuki and his team decided to implement an evergreen, ongoing OOH program.
"We do GeoBlitzes—as city takeovers—at 8x8 in our top designated market areas (DMAs) and metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) based on existing revenue and propensity to buy," explains Suzuki. "We look at the concentration of businesses in a particular area, as well as the buying patterns of customers."
In partnership with AdQuick, 8x8 has expanded its presence into nascent, growing tech hubs such as Chicago, Minneapolis, and Atlanta in the US and London in the UK.
What to keep in mind when buying OOH media
One of the challenges of the OOH market is that it's fragmented, with ad units being owned by different entities. Without AdQuick, the process of buying media involves collaborating with multiple media owners and coordinating logistics with each individually through low-tech means, to get a campaign launched. Suzuki, who came to AdQuick with OOH media buying experience, explains that launching multiple city takeovers would have been near-impossible without AdQuick's technology.
"It's a rough process," he explains. "There are only 24 hours in the day, and we'd all prefer to spend 8 of those hours sleeping. I don't think anyone wants to commit to a 200 hour work week for the sake of launching a marketing campaign."
Because of fragmentation in the industry, the process of launching an out of home campaign can be expensive due to unnecessary media waste. Suzuki found that with AdQuick, campaign costs were less expensive than going direct.
"AdQuick lowers the barriers to entry for out of home," Suzuki says. "With AdQuick, out-of-home is almost not out-of-home anymore. It's digital. If you think about platforms like YouTube TV or Roku—or whatever, you buy media through a digital platform. That means analog channels have the same capabilities of their programmatic counterparts."
With AdQuick, performance marketers like Suzuki can:
Overlay demographic data on maps to identify target audiences—and lookalike audiences
Track amplification effects of campaigns through shares and re-shares of content on social media
Preview media based on their surroundings through a proprietary, satellite mapping feature
Sort opportunities by CPM
Tap into geofencing capabilities to see whether ad units are driving action
So where does 8x8 find its success?
Success, according to Suzuki, boils down to a brand's ability to be creative and deliver a message that stays memorable with fellow humans.
"That's the fun part of marketing," he says. "If you don't make it fun, then it's not memorable. Otherwise, you're going to create, essentially, something that should belong in a dictionary rather than a social space. Nobody wants to read that. It has to be light and cheeky."
Suzuki elaborates that there's a systematic process for determining what will resonate. Consider 8x8's New York geoblitz, as an example.
"We first extrapolated what our selling points were," he says. "We then integrated these selling points with plays of New York slang—for instance, that Long Island is 'Strong Island.' There are five boroughs here that each have their own personality and flair."
With this mindset, 8x8's test campaign took on a life of its own.
"There was one specific billboard at Bryant Park that got a lot of attention," he says. "Musicians started playing in front of it, which made for an amazing, unexpected social media campaign. We didn't think about this initially. But people were pushing out our marketing, with musicians in front."
Out of home has reached a new era that takes businesses back to its most human roots in marketing and advertising—with a programmatic twist.

# Build an `omnibus-gitlab` package locally

## Prepare a build environment

Docker images with the necessary build tools for building `omnibus-gitlab` packages
are in the [`GitLab Omnibus Builder`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-omnibus-builder)
project's [Container Registry](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-omnibus-builder/container_registry).

1. [Install Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).

    > Containers need access to 4GB of memory to complete builds. Consult the documentation
    > for your container runtime. Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows are known to set
    > this value to 2GB for default installations.

1. Pull the Docker image for the OS you want to build a package for. The current
   version of the image used officially by `omnibus-gitlab` is referred to in the
   [CI configuration](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml)
   `BUILDER_IMAGE_REVISION` environment variable.

   ```shell
   docker pull registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-omnibus-builder/debian_10:${BUILDER_IMAGE_REVISION}
   ```

1. Clone the Omnibus GitLab source and change to the cloned directory:

   ```shell
   git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab.git ~/omnibus-gitlab
   cd ~/omnibus-gitlab
   ```

1. Start the container and enter its shell, while mounting the `omnibus-gitlab`
   directory in the container:

   ```shell
   docker run -v ~/omnibus-gitlab:/omnibus-gitlab -it registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-omnibus-builder/debian_10:${BUILDER_IMAGE_REVISION} bash
   ```

1. By default, `omnibus-gitlab` chooses public GitLab repositories to
   fetch sources of various GitLab components. Set the environment variable
   `ALTERNATIVE_SOURCES` to `false` to build from `dev.gitlab.org`.

   ```shell
   export ALTERNATIVE_SOURCES=false
   ```

   Component source information is in the
   [`.custom_sources.yml`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/.custom_sources.yml)
   file.

1. By default, `omnibus-gitlab` codebase is optimized to be used in a CI
   environment. One such optimization is reusing the pre-compiled Rails assets
   that is built by the GitLab CI pipeline. To know how to leverage this in your
   builds, check [Fetch upstream assets](#fetch-upstream-assets) section. Or,
   you can choose to compile the assets during the package build by setting the
   `COMPILE_ASSETS` environment variable.

   ```shell
   export COMPILE_ASSETS=true
   ```

1. Install the libraries and other dependencies:

   ```shell
   cd /omnibus-gitlab
   bundle install
   bundle binstubs --all
   ```

### Fetch upstream assets

Pipelines on GitLab and GitLab-FOSS projects create a Docker image with
pre-compiled assets and publish the image to the container registry. While building
packages, to save time you can reuse these images instead of compiling the assets
again:

1. Fetch the assets Docker image that corresponds to the ref of GitLab or
   GitLab-FOSS you are building. For example, to pull the asset image
   corresponding to latest master ref, run the following:

   ```shell
   docker pull registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/gitlab-assets-ee:master
   ```

1. Create a container using that image:

   ```shell
   docker create --name gitlab_asset_cache registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/gitlab-assets-ee:master
   ```

1. Copy the asset directory from the container to the host:

   ```shell
   docker cp gitlab_asset_cache:/assets ~/gitlab-assets
   ```

1. While starting the build environment container, mount the asset directory in
   it:

   ```shell
   docker run -v ~/omnibus-gitlab:/omnibus-gitlab -v ~/gitlab-assets:/gitlab-assets -it registry.gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-omnibus-builder/debian_10:${BUILDER_IMAGE_REVISION} bash
   ```

1. Instead of setting `COMPILE_ASSETS` to true, set the path where assets can be
   found:

   ```shell
   export ASSET_PATH=/gitlab-assets
   ```

## Build the package

After you have prepared the build environment and have made necessary changes,
you can build packages using the provided Rake tasks:

1. For builds to work, Git working directory should be clean. So, commit your
   changes to a new branch.

1. Run the Rake task to build the package:

    ```shell
    bundle exec rake build:project
    ```

The packages are built and made available in the `~/omnibus-gitlab/pkg`
directory.

### Build an EE package

By default, `omnibus-gitlab` builds a CE package. If you want to build an EE
package, set the `ee` environment variable before running the Rake task:

```shell
export ee=true
```

### Clean files created during build

You can clean up all temporary files generated during the build process using
`omnibus`'s `clean` command:

```shell
bin/omnibus clean gitlab
```

Adding the `--purge` purge option removes **all** files generated during the
build including the project install directory (`/opt/gitlab`) and
the package cache directory (`/var/cache/omnibus/pkg`):

```shell
bin/omnibus clean --purge gitlab
```

## Get help on Omnibus

For help with the Omnibus command-line interface, run the
`help` command:

```shell
bin/omnibus help
```

wearing stock costumes on halloween is always okay
Two guys walk into a bar. .
And find that this is not funny. Okay, should you use stock jokes, or as we comedians call them HACK jokes? I've talked about joke formulas like "he's so big" or "top reasons why. . ." and I think that's okay. You get recognition and familiarity, people know a joke is coming, and audiences like those familiar, funny lines. Plus it's easy. Just plug in your new nouns/subjects, and you've got a new joke.
But what I'm talking about
Is using a joke that's been told over and over and over again. I saw a comedian's website recently and he used an old, old joke on there, and I thought it was a bad idea. For him I thought it was a bad idea because, well, he's a comedian and he should showcase his original humor. But for non-comedians who just want to kick off a talk with a joke or sprinkle a few in their speeches, my advice would also be "don't do it." You risk part of your audience having already heard the joke, so they think you're a thief and/or unoriginal, and another part of your audience probably will hear the joke sometime, and then they'll think of you as a thief and/or unoriginal.
We're finding too much
off the internet these days, and you have to be careful. Plus using hack jokes is a form of stealing if you're not giving credit to the person who wrote it. And remember, someone did write the joke – it's just impossible in some cases to trace back the comedy material. But stock jokes didn't just materialize out of the blue like suddenly seeing a bug in your house and you have no idea where it came from or how it got there – but I digress.
The word HACK
by the way means to "cut, chop, slash, lacerate, scythe, hew, slice" which is what you're doing to your credibility when you use a "standard" joke. It reminds me of the time I was watching this motivational speaker, and he was going to play a video. He asked the room who has seen the "fish video" and ½ of the room raised their hands. I thought, wow, why is he playing that thing that's been on the internet forever??
I guess there's a fine line
Between stock jokes and internet jokes that get passed around. I do my fair share of passing jokes around, but I don't put them into my act and try to pass them off as mine.
So be weary
of hack jokes and instead of using them just be original with your own jokes. You'll have more fun and feel better when people compliment you on your sense of humor.
