Cassini VIMS sees the long-awaited glint off a Titan lake
The Cassini mission announced today the first observation of a specular reflection off of a lake on Titan. A specular reflection is a mirror-like flash, and you only get one when you have a mirror-like surface -- very, very smooth.
Planetary Society Advent Calendar for December 17: Proteus
Proteus is a weird name for this world. It's the second-largest moon of Neptune, and so it's named (as are all of Neptune's moons) for deities associated with the sea.
Watch that front wheel spin!
Holy cow, look at that right front wheel spin. I am alternately amazed and horrified by this animation.

I have heard tales about the hate for you..... who are you?
How Long Do We Want Combat to Take?
Time to kill in 1v1s should be between 20-40 seconds... that is a very long time while actually engaged in combat. Once you start adding in other players it should function like moba fights... some compositions are meant to burst people down, some are meant to mitigate the burst.
The system they are using encourages people to learn about the game and decide whether to pull the backing trigger or not.
Here are my thoughts on the matter.... If i'm to understand it correctly a new account that is not a backer will be able to post for 30 days on a specific forum while a nonbacker that has past that 30 day period won't be able to post much of anything anywhere? Because it doesn't cost a lot to back this game this change isn't really a big deal and from a business perspective I can see how this could generate a little more money. My main concern with such a change is the sense of entitlement it tends to create within backers of a certain persuasion. Initially I didn't like the reasoning in regards to problems with non backers being less than constructive but the reality of it is this change does indeed get rid of some trolls. Though we have seen many backers who are also less than constructive.
It's so trendy to make fun of activists.
I don't think they should design combat around anything above 150ping... but ideally 100 or less. Life is tough, you can't ruin the experience of the game for some outliers with bad internet or that live out of region.
Ya you gotta understand what kinda movie experience you are heading in for. It's like expecting great dialogue from American Pie.
Pink slime isn't good for hypertrophy brah!
Sometimes hotfixes like that don't work though.

Discharge és un grup de hardcore punk d'origen anglès.

Trajectòria
Discharge es va formar l'any 1977 amb una alineació original que incloïa a Terry 'Tez' Roberts a les veus, Tony 'Bones' Roberts a la guitarra, Roy 'Rainy' Wainwright també a la guitarra, Nigel Bamford al baix i Akko a la bateria. Poc temps després, Nigel Bamford va deixar el grup, i Rainy es va encarregar del baix. Aquesta formació sonava molt similar als Sex Pistols, però només va enregistrar una demo. La formació i el so van canviar l'any 1979. Doncs, va passar a ser: Kelvin 'Cal' Morris a les veus, Bones a la guitarra, Rainy al baix i Tez a la bateria. A aquesta, molts la consideren com la formació "clàssica" de Discharge.

El pesat so de la guitarra i els anti-melòdics crits del vocalista d'aquesta nova alineació van dur al grup a ser conegut com un dels principals precursors del que seria el thrash metal. Les seves cançons giraven entorn de l'anarquisme, la llibertat i pacifisme i els seus temes tractaven de mostrar les terribles conseqüències de la guerra nuclear i la malalta societat presa pel capitalisme.

L'enfocament líric també va ajudar a agregar-li poder a la cruesa de la seva temàtica. Sovint, el so de les cançons de Discharge consistien en missatges amb un repetitiu to agressiu i gutural que buscava expressar amb força el que volien dir. Potser un dels exemples més clars d'aquesta idea el podem trobar en la lletra de la cançó "Free Speech for the Dumb" (Llibertat d'expressió per al mut) que no fa més que repetir el mateix títol de la cançó mateixa. El que també va ser important per a l'expressió política i social del grup va ser el tema artístic que usaren en els seus àlbums, on es representava la crudesa de la guerra utilitzant un icònic blanc i negre en alt contrast en les fotografies.

En 1980, Discharge va signar amb Clay Records, publicant el single "Realities of War," que va aparèixer als charts independents de Regne Unit. Després que aquell mateix any es publiqués l'EP, Discharge va passar per diversos canvis de formació. El bateria Tezz va marxar per a ésser substituït per Dave "Bambi" Ellesmere (antic The Insane) abans que es gravés "Why". L'any 1982, Discharge va publicar un llarga duració titulat Hear Nothing, See Nothing, Say Nothing, que va arribar a aparèixer en els charts de vendes.

Per a l'EP "Never Again", Discharge sofrí un nou canvi de formació. Gary Maloney de Varukers seria qui ocupés el lloc de bateria aquest cop. Bones marxà abans de  Warning..., que fou quan Discharge començà a veure's més influenciat pel Heavy Metal. En 1985, amb la publicació de Ignorance tornaren a canviar de formació. Doncs, la banda fou acostant-se a un so cada cop més i més metàl·lic. Tot i això, per a l'any 2002 la formació clàssica es reuní per a la publicació del disc Discharge.

Aquell mateix 2002, Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing fou escollit com a l'àlbum número u de punk rock de tots els temps en una enquesta feta per la revista Terrorizer.

D-beat
L'estil de Discharge es va anomenar D-beat, un estil de punk ràpid, precursor o paral·lel a l'aparició del hardcore punk, i influència bàsica per a l'estil Crustcore. Durant i després de la trajectoria de Discharge, imitar-los es tornà sorprenentment popular. Si bé Discharge assumí com a propi el so batejat com a D-beat, ells no són els inventors principals del que després havia de conformar el hardcore punk. Es pot escoltar quelcom molt semblant en gravacions anteriors a la banda, com per exemple "You Tear Me Up" de Another Music in a Different Kitchen, el disc debut de Buzzcocks, i el so hardcore ja es pot trobar en l'EP Out of vogue de Middle Class, previ a les dates oficials d'aparició del hardcore punk.

Molts dels grups que seguiren l'estil de Discharge, principalment de Suècia, començaren els seus noms utilitzant el prefix "Dis-". A més usaven "Dis-" en les paraules que realment començaven amb "Des-" a manera de paròdia. Per citar algunes d'aquestes bandes, tenim a Disfear, Disclose, Discard, Disarm, Dissucks, i Distraught. Els grups que seguiren aquesta tendència als seus noms a més copiaren l'estil tipogràfic del logo de Discharge, amb lletres grans i blanques, per als seus.

Guess what? It's Masters week. Time for Augusta to prepare for the influx of golf fanatics and the many others wanting to experience the culture surrounding the event. The place where fans are referred to as patrons and the rest of Augusta National's rules need to be followed. Augusta, the home of one of the most famous golf courses in the world.
A few rules for the Masters 'patron': 1. Don't lay down on the grass. You will be instructed to sit back up. 2. Don't take off your shoes. If you are spotted barefoot, you will be instructed to put your shoes back on. 3. Don't run. When the gates open and patrons rush to stake their place for their chair, a great speed walking competition will ensue. 4. No cell phones. Augusta National, unlike the PGA Tour, stands firm during the Masters regarding phones. Augusta National has a large supply of payphones in case of emergency. 5. Don't scalp your tickets. There are stiff penalties for trying to sell tickets on your own outside of Augusta National's gates. 6. Don't steal anyone's seats. Trying to steal someone's seat may end up with you going home to sit on your couch. The items on the Prohibited list include cell phones, cameras (except on Practice Round Days), alcoholic beverages, coolers, radios, strollers, flags, weapons, large bags or purses, etc.
Back to the players, it is projected that Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy have the best odds to win. An interesting standout this year is Guan Tianlang. Guan is 14 years old from China. He is the youngest player to ever participate in the Masters and the youngest player at any major in over one hundred years. Winning the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship last fall gave him a chance to play on the prestigious greens of the Masters. Tianlang, too young to play on the high school golf team, has brought his eighth-grade homework with him to Augusta National. Guan seems excited and is more than happy to learn and absorb tips from Ben Crenshaw, Tiger Woods and Tom Watson. It is crazy and remarkable that someone Guan's age gets to participate in the Masters.
Tiger Woods was 21 when he won the 1997 Masters. Although he may not be all the way back in his legendary status, but you can't argue with the guy who has won three out of five tournaments. Today (Tuesday) Woods will hold his pre-tournament news conference and that will be interesting to watch, especially with him being the favorite to win. Woods isn't only a favorite where predictions are concerned; Guan has been looking up to him since he was around 4 years old. Guan said, "I played with him twice in the past couple years, and he gives me many advice and I will say every time I play with him, I feel a lot better and give myself some confidence and it's very good." For me, it will be interesting to see how little 14-year-old Guan does on Thursday. For him, it is more about the experience than the score, but Woods and Crenshaw (among others) seem to be treating him like a little brother. Age seems to have no limits in the golf world.
For more information and times, see the Masters schedule.


Sheridan Smith and Gemma Whelan star in the BBC1 two-part drama.
The nation's memory of the disappearance of nine-year-old schoolgirl Shannon Matthews was refreshed as drama The Moorside starring Sheridan Smith premiered on BBC1 this week.
Now, it has emerged that the mother of the 'missing' girl, Karen, is frightened for her life since the controversial drama hit TV screens – which was watched by seven million people – as she has been taunted with death threats.
The petrified mother-of-seven has claimed to have been bombarded with abuse as the first of the BBC two-part series aired on Tuesday night (7 February), divulging the beginnings of her plot to kidnap her own child to earn reward money.
But Matthews, 40 – who was charged with child neglect and perverting the course of justice in April 2008 – is still protesting her innocence over the heartless kidnap.
She told a friend: "I cannot go out of the door. I'm frightened out of my life. I'm shaking like a leaf. I'm s*** scared to even get any shopping or anything.
"I know I can't stop it but why does it have to be dragged up again? Why don't they just leave me alone and let me get on with my life?" The Mirror reported.
She added: "I'm worried I'll have my windows smashed right now. I'm too scared to go anywhere. I feel isolated. If I could go back I would ask the police to reinvestigate everything... the truth's going to come out."
Game of Thrones actress Gemma Wheelan – who plays Matthews in the series – shines in her role as the troubled mother just as much as Sheridan Smith, who plays her friend Julie Bushby.
Viewers took to Twitter to express their thoughts on Matthews, with one person writing: "Scary how accurate the actress playing Karen Matthews is #TheMoorside" as another put: "Feel sorry for Shannon Matthews. Imagine having Karen as a mother and millions of people talk about you. Hope she's doing well. #TheMoorside".
A third added: "Tragic that we pay taxes for people like Karen Matthews, sickening #themoorside".
Shannon Matthews is a young English girl who became the focus of one of the biggest search efforts in the region since the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper. At the age of nine, Shannon was reported missing by her mother after failing to return home from school on 19 February 2008.
The last confirmed sighting of her was outside Westmoor Junior School, in Dewsbury, at 3pm GMT. The search for her soon became a major missing person police operation, comparable to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.
Her story captured the nation's hearts and rewards of up to £50,000 were offered for her safe return as mother Karen pleaded for her to come home.
The Moorside concludes on Tuesday 14 February on BBC1 at 9pm.

Colombia Pictures Industries, Inc & Ors v British Telecommunications Plc & Ors, Ch Div (Meade J) 17/7/22
19/10/2022 LBU Editorial Case Reports
Orders were made under s.97A Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 requiring the respondent ISPs to block access to certain websites which were enabling the infringement of copyright in the claimant movie studios' films. The orders represented an extension of the type of relief which had been granted previously, addressing the problem that following a conventional order, websites with different but very similar domain names picked up the blocked web traffic, with the result that the conventional orders were being circumvented. The solution was to grant blocking orders against a list of websites which had similar but not identical names to those subject to conventional blocking orders, with certain conditions imposed.


Moscow — As the clock counted down the final days of the Soviet Union, I booked a ticket to Moscow for Dec. 27, expecting to reach Red Square in time to see the hammer-and-sickle come down for the last time on the staffs above the Kremlin. But events accelerated. The final day of the USSR came on December 25, a week early, and by the time I saw Red Square for that very first time, on the night I arrived in Moscow, the Tsarist Tri-Color was already flapping in the brisk wind overhead, illuminated by spot lights. I stood in the plaza spellbound by its utter vastness, gazing up at the mysterious glow of the huge ruby red stars atop the spires of the Kremlin.
For the next six weeks, I explored Moscow relentlessly. I spoke with philosophers, filmmakers, artists, historians, poets, columnists, folk musicians — you name it, anyone connected with Russia's deep intellectual life — about whither Russia following the Soviet Union's collapse.
Russian folk inspired by Tom Waites and CCR. Their twanging guitars were backed by a spirited horn section and a hard-driving accordion that conjured images from the depths of the Siberian forests. I penetrated their backstage scene and their after-hours parties. I ended up sleeping on their floors and living room couches. I loved their music. I loved their spirit of rebellion, and I loved their company.
Rebels during the Soviets, and rebels still; they seemed to be just about the only rock band in Moscow in the winter of 1991-92 that was resisting the trend to slavishly copy American heavy metal.

Conference on
Science, Technology, Innovation
& Social Responsibility
Organized by CERN & the World Academy of Art & Science
under the auspices of United Nations Office in Geneva
November 11, 2015 – 09:00-17:30
Science, Technology and Innovation are among the most powerful forces driving social change and development today. In the past they have been the source of both remarkable civilizational advances and threats to civilization. Some aspects of scientific development and application such as nuclear technology, pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals and food additives are strictly monitored and controlled by governments and law. Other areas such as computerization of financial transactions, automation, biological research and telecommunications have been left primarily to the self-government of scientific institutions and business entities. Today the rate of scientific and technological development, dissemination and application far outpaces the capacity of society, institutions and individuals to adapt, contributing to increasing social imbalances, stress, upheavals, displacement and disruption. The challenge before humanity is to arrive at the most effective blend of governance and self-management to maximize both the freedom for scientific creativity and technological innovation and the welfare of present and future generations.
This symposium is being organized by CERN and the World Academy of Art & Science under the auspices of United Nations Office at Geneva. It will survey the potential impact of scientific and technological innovation in different fields on the progress of humanity in the 21st century and the alternative mechanisms available to ensure socially responsible management of these activities by the research community, business and governments.

Social responsibility and self-governance by the scientific community by Momir Djurovic
Scientific discovery and technological innovation keep developing instruments of unparalleled power for fulfillment or destruction. We humans, more and more, are taking into our own hands the future evolution of our bodies, our minds, the civilizations we create, and the very planet we inhabit. So it is imperative that we guide what we do by what we know, and guide what we know by what we value. The aim of the Academy's founders was to function as "an informal WORLD UNIVERSITY at the highest scientific and ethical level, in which deep human understanding and the fullest sense of responsibility will meet."
The World Academy is incorporated in the State of California and is recognized by the US Internal Revenue Service as a tax exempt private foundation under section 501(c)(3).

The Guide is incomplete, but the compilers believe that, even in its current state, many WAAS Fellows will nd it useful for illuminating many of the most serious problems facing humanity under the broad, overlapping categories of "Security" (weapons proliferation, terrorism, cyber-attacks, economic and food insecurity, human rights, peacemaking, crime and corruption, inadequate infrastructure, etc.) and "Sustainability" (climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, energy, agriculture, population growth, cities, oceans, forests, vulnerability to disasters, green economics and nance, etc.)

LIMITS TO RATIONALITY
TRANS-DISCIPLINARY DIALOGUE ON THE LIMITS TO RATIONALITY
Rationality is an essential instrument in humanity's quest for knowledge, yet the practical pursuit of knowledge often ignores or violates fundamental principles of rational inquiry or overlooks the inherent limitations in the use of rationality as an instrument of knowledge.
This project will explore the philosophy and practice of rationality as it is applied in various fields of knowledge to identify common deviations and limitations and propose ways to compensate for the limits to rationality.


One day a cat was walking down the road when suddenly a big and ferocious dog came out of nowhere.
The cat was scared to death and started to run to save its life. The dog leaped and caught hold of the cat.
The cat begged for mercy but the dog was very hungry and did not want to leave such a good prey.
The cat put forward a deal that she would regularly give the dog all that it would catch and would only eat the dog's left over.
The dog found the deal very attractive and left the cat but warned it of the dire consequences if the cat tried to fool him or run away.
Every day the cat used to give away all that it would catch to the dog and the dog ate everything.
After a month, the dog grew fat since it didn't had to catch its prey any longer.
One day the cat didn't return on time. The dog grew impatient and started to search for it. It found the cat devouring a mouse and grew very angry.
The dog said that the cat had broken its promise and now it would eat the cat. The cat started to run to save its life and the dog chased it but since the dog had grown fat, it was getting very difficult for it to match the cat's speed.
Moral: Never leave your work on someone else's behalf. It may be quite luring at the beginning but will turn deadly afterwards.


Joshua Schichtel pled guilty for selling botnets to customers "who wanted to infect computers with various different types of malicious software." Now, he's serving a 30-month prison term.
After pleading guilty last year to creating a botnet that wreaked havoc on about 72,000 computers, Joshua Schichtel was sentenced to prison today. The Department of Justice announced that Schichtel received a 30-month prison sentence for "selling command-and-control access to and use of thousands of malware-infected computers."
Schichtel was a unique hacker. Rather than infecting computers for his own benefit, he instead sold botnets to customers who must have not had the tech know-how to create their own malware.
"Individuals who wanted to infect computers with various different types of malicious software (malware) would contact Schichtel and pay him to install, or have installed, malware on the computers that comprised those botnets," the Department of Justice wrote in a statement today.
It's not clear how many total customers Schichtel had or how many computers were infected since he was only caught dealing with one customer. This customer paid him a meager fee of $1,500 to get malicious software installed on roughly 72,000 computers.
According to Ars Technica, Schichtel has a history of hacking. Before he was caught in the Washington, D.C. area in 2009 infecting the 72,000 computers, he was named in a 2004 complaint for "conspiring to use thousands of infected computers to launch Distributed Denial of Service attacks against e-commerce websites." Those charges were reportedly dismissed because the government didn't get an indictment before deadline.
Several botnet creators and hackers have been captured or sentenced in the past year, including the notorious Bredolab virus creator, who was credited with infecting 30 million computers worldwide, and the crew of LulzSec hackers that allegedly broke into corporate networks, stole data, and defaced Web sites.
However, cybercrime is still on the rise as lawmakers work to catch up with increasingly creative and complex cyber-schemes. According to a report released this week, any device that connects to the Internet is in danger of some sort of worm, virus, Trojan, or malicious spam.
Once Schichtel finishes his prison term, he will also have to serve three years of supervised release.


Writers in the Richmond neighborhood now have a new spot to practice their craft. On April 8th, Bay Area creative writing school The Writing Salon returned to San Francisco with a new location at Balboa Street and 22nd Avenue, formerly a dry cleaner.
Founded in 1999 by writer Jane Underwood, the Writing Salon provides adult writers with an opportunity to workshop and learn from professional writers across genres.
"We teach the nuts and bolts of craft," the Salon's website says. "We also give tips and advice on how to rev up motivation, discipline and commitment."
According to director Ben Jackson, the Salon isn't a stranger to San Francisco. It started in Underwood's Bernal Heights home, opened a location (still operational) in Berkeley, and later operated its city workshops out of a York Street loft in the Mission from 2008 until Underwood's death in 2016.
"We're excited to be back in the city again," Jackson said, noting that the 300-square-foot storefront on Balboa is "perfect" for the Salon's classes, which have between five to 14 students.
"My teachers and I have been looking for cost-friendly rental spaces in the city ever since we closed down the York Street location in June 2016," he added. "We had—and still have—a very loyal following of students in San Francisco reluctant to cross the bridge for our Berkeley classes."
Currently, classes at the Richmond studio are similar to those in Berkeley. Students in the Richmond neighborhood can sign up for a variety of classes, including starting a novel, taught by local author Karen Bjorneby, or a poetry workshop with San Francisco-based poet Julie Bruck. The space is also available to students and teachers 24 hours a day.
Once the school settles into its new digs, Jackson hopes to offer "a greater variety of classes and events."

English author Anthony Powell (pronounced like "toll" not "towel") was born in 1905. He was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford where he met several other young writers, including Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene. Prior to World War II he worked in publishing and as a film-script writer, before becoming a full-time novelist and literary critic.
Powell is best known for his twelve-volume novel, A Dance to the Music of Time, most commonly available in a four-volume set with three novels in each. Dance is at the top of my "Top 10" favorite books list and what always name as my "desert island" book, although that may be cheating, since it is really 12 books.
Powell wrote a number of other novels and a biography of the seventeenth-century diarist John Aubrey. He was also a prolific literary critic and book reviewer for a number of periodicals including the Daily Telegraph, the Times Literary Supplement, Punch and the Spectator. He published four volumes of memoirs, three volumes of diaries, and two volumes of his selected literary criticism.
Powell was married to the author Lady Violet Pakenham. He died in 2000 at his home in Somerset.
His books are listed below in order of publication. Those I have read, including all of Dance, are in red. Those currently on my TBR shelf are in blue. I hope to read them all some day, although several are hard to find.
Last updated December 29, 2018.
Prolific is right:) This is a new to me author. I will have to check him out since his is a desert island book. Bonus that it is 12 volumes.
I'm so glad to find another Powell enthusiast - he's one of my top favorites, too! I've read just about everything he wrote except The Fisher King and Afternoon Men. Don't know why I'm keeping those in reserve - guess I just like knowing there are still delights to be had!
Joy -- I know you are a Powell fan because I have read some of your wonderful posts. I am jealous that you have read almost all of them. I have more to look forward to, I suppose, but a lot of these are hard to find, and expensive if I can find them.
I've been thinking about doing A Dance to The Music of Time project...so tempting!
I also want to add -- I really like the picture with the cat!


It wasn't quite a Jed Clampett moment: Instead of shootin' for some food, Samuel Kier was drillin' for some salt in his salt wells in the appropriately named Saltsburg in Indiana County, Pa., close to Pittsburgh.
He kept finding this smelly and gooey black stuff coming from the ground, fouling the salt — sometimes almost spontaneously catching fire.
Trying to make lemonade out of this lemon, he experimented with the gooey stuff. By 1848 he started selling a distillate of it as Seneca Oil, an elixir, and then a proto-Vaseline as a topical ointment.

#TGW: Let's Get It Started
By Jon Cooper
Up Next: Friday: @ Clemson, 7:00 p.m., Jervey Gym, ESPN3
Sunday: Boston College, 1:00 p.m., O'Keefe Gym, ESPN3, WREK, 91.1 FM
It's ACC Opening Weekend. Nothing else needs be said.
Georgia Tech volleyball head coach Michelle Collier has been gearing her team up for this weekend since the end of last season.
The Yellow Jackets start Friday night in Clemson then open at home Sunday afternoon against Boston College.
"We're excited. I think that we have prepared ourselves for this opportunity and we're just excited to face the conference," said Collier, whose Jackets enter the match at 9-3. "It's good volleyball all around, every match that you play. It's a challenging environment but it's also a fun environment. You know you're always going to play a good team on the other side and it's going to take your best. So we're ready for it. We're excited."
It's a tale of two openers, for the Jackets, as different as the venues themselves.
Friday night, the Jackets visit the arch-rival Tigers (5-7), against whom they are 26-34 all-time — not so bad considering Tech started the series losing the first 12 matches and dropped 17 of the first 19. In Clemson they are 10-17 and have been on the short end of four straight matches and seven of the last 10.
The Jackets are confident this trip will be different.
"We don't dwell in the past," said Collier. "It's a new opportunity that we get. Nothing really matters what happened in the past. Hopefully the players learned from some of those things and we're putting ourselves in better situations now to be able to be successful.
"It's tough to play there. They have a great environment," she added. "They have a new coaching staff so I'm sure they're fired up to play us but so are we. I think it's a nice little rivalry. It's fun and it's healthy. We're definitely going for them and we expect a good match."
Leaving the past in the past is a good idea. They especially want to move on from last year's struggles on the road — a 2-10 record, 1-9 in conference arenas.
Moving on starts with the players and getting a new mindset.
"The past two years have been tough there but we're hoping to turn it around," said outside hitter Teegan Van Gunst, the team's leader in kills (167), who has six double-doubles on the season. "That was definitely one of our focuses during the preseason, to show up and be ready to play in whatever gym we go to. Part of that is focusing on our side of the net and what we're doing on our side so the atmosphere doesn't take control of how we play, really staying together on our side of the net, keeping the communication up if things aren't going well, really relying on ourselves to bring energy and passion to wherever we go. That's one of our focuses going into this weekend. We should be able to go in and compete hard and get a win."
The Jackets are looking to match the results they got in going through their quality non-conference schedule, which saw wins over Mercer, Georgia Southern and Georgia, in Athens in the Georgia Challenge, then South Florida and UC Davis at the Nebraska Ameritas Players Challenge. Even though the Ameritas Players Challenge ended with a 3-0 loss at No. 5 Nebraska then they experienced something of a hiccup at Kennesaw State, where they lost 3-1, Tech feels it's ready to get things going in their ACC road debut.
"This preseason has helped with our confidence going into ACC play," said Van Gunst. "So we're really looking forward to starting off strong even though we're on the road."
"It's building just a whole new mentality," agreed middle blocker Sydney Wilson, who is leading the team with 50 blocks (1.16 per match) and is right on Van Gunst's heels in kills, as she is tied with Annika Van Gunst for second on the team with 109 kills. "We haven't played well there in the past so we need to go there and sell out. We had a very successful preseason. Kennesaw we definitely didn't play our best so we're ready to play Clemson."
As much as the Jackets are looking to forget past road difficulties in Clemson and otherwise, they must put aside the success they've had against Boston College, which comes to town Sunday afternoon for a matinee to kick off their ACC home schedule.
The Jackets have dominated the Eagles, going 18-2 all time, 12-0 at O'Keefe, and riding a 15-match win streak, with nine of those wins coming at love. Tech hasn't lost to B.C. since Oct. 8, 2006.
"All those stats are good but we have to live in the present," said Collier. "This is the team that we have now. That's the team that they have now. It doesn't matter if we've beaten them 15 [straight] times. This team is not going to come in here thinking that they're going to lose to us. So we have to be prepared for whatever it takes and, again, it's kind of live in the present and make sure we're executing at those times."
The Jackets players certainly don't want any part of the past numbers. They're looking at the present, which saw Boston College head into its ACC Opener at Syracuse sporting an 8-4 record, having won four straight, three of them at love, including winning the New England Challenge against Northeastern (3-0), Connecticut (3-0) and Harvard (3-2).
"I don't really focus on that kind of stuff, just our game plan going into each and every match. What are we going to do to win?" said Van Gunst. "What's happened in the past, that's not the same team, we're not the same team so we really have to focus on our side of the net and what we have to do to win."
"Anybody can get beaten on any day," Wilson added. "Kennesaw definitely showed that. We have to come out and play our game."
A precedent the Jackets are looking forward to seeing repeat is the impact of the crowd at O'Keefe and their ability to feed off that crowd.
"I think that we have one of the best home environments in the Conference," said Collier. "We always look forward to coming back to O'Keefe and playing in front of our friends and family, with the band and [the crowd] being loud and going after it. We know we're going to face a very good team. Boston College is playing really well. So we're definitely excited for the challenge."
"We're super-excited playing Boston College here," said Van Gunst. "Hopefully we'll have a whole lot of fans here, our band here and we'll be ready to roll. Obviously, it's always a good atmosphere playing at home, so we're excited to get it started."

În practica traducerii, cuvântul "calc" se referă la traducerea literală (cuvânt cu cuvânt) al cărei rezultat nu este totdeauna corect conform normelor varietății standard a limbii țintă. În schimb în lingvistica comparativă, în lingvistica istorică și în lexicologie, calcul lingvistic este un procedeu mixt (intern și extern) de îmbogățire a unei limbi, mai ales în domeniul lexicului și al frazeologiei, dar în mai mică măsură și în domeniul gramatical. Se include aici preluarea sensului unor cuvinte străine și traducerea integrală sau parțială a morfemelor care alcătuiesc unele cuvinte sau alte unități străine în morfeme corespunzătoare ale limbii receptoare.

Calc lexical

Rezultatul calcului lexical este un cuvânt. Poate fi vorba de calc semantic sau de calc de structură morfematică.

Calc semantic

Calcul semantic este preluarea sensului unui cuvânt străin de către un cuvânt existent în limba receptoare. În cazul unor preluări relativ vechi, se întâmplă ca acest cuvânt să păstreze numai sensul preluat. Exemple:

  Sensul inițial al cuvântului write era a "zgâria", apoi sub influența cuvântului latinesc scribere "a trasa linii cu un obiect ascuțit; a scrie", a preluat al doilea sens al acestuia.
  Cuvântul dìng însemna inițial "fix; stabil". Budiștii chinezi au tradus cu acesta cuvântul sanscrit samādhi, care denumește o stare de adâncire în meditație.

În cazul calcurilor semantice relativ recente se păstrează și sensul/sensurile cuvântului receptor. De exemplu, cuvântul românesc cerc a preluat sensuri figurate de la cercle din limba franceză, printre care "grup de oameni legați între ei prin interese comune ori prin legături de rudenie sau de prietenie". De asemenea, cuvântul francez réaliser "a realiza" a preluat de la cuvântul englezesc realize "a face să devină realitate; a-și da seama, a înțelege" și al doilea sens al acestuia.

Calc de structură morfematică

Prin acest tip de calc rezultă în limba receptoare cuvinte compuse sau derivate prin traducerea morfemelor care compun unele cuvinte străine, sau prin redarea în acest fel a unor sintagme străine.

Exemple de cuvinte compuse obținute prin calc după cuvinte compuse:
  bunăstare <  Wohlstand;
  crispbread <  Knäckebrot "pâine crocantă";
  presqu'île <  paeninsula "peninsulă" (literal "aproape insulă");
  zemljopis <  geographía "geografie" (lit. "descrierea Pământului");
  lán-méi <  blueberry "afină" (lit. "bacă albastră").

O limbă în care compunerea este un procedeu foarte productiv, cum este de pildă maghiara, redă prin cuvinte compuse nu numai asemenea cuvinte din alte limbi, ci în general și sintagmele străine pe care le calchiază. Exemple: anyanyelv <  Muttersprache "limbă maternă", virágvasárnap <  sau  Cvetna nedelja "Duminica Floriilor".

Și cuvinte derivate străine pot fi modele de calc lexical. Exemple cu prefixe sunt  coraport <  содоклад (sodoklad), sau  kiküszöböl <  eliminare "a elimina".

Exemple cu sufixe:
  întâietate <  primauté;
  brotherhood <  fraternitas "fraternitate";
  főnök <  Häuptling "șef".

Există și calc cu derivare parasintetică (prefix + cuvânt + sufix), de exemplu  deznodământ <  dénouement.

Exemplele de mai sus sunt calcuri totale, dar există și parțiale, atât cuvinte compuse, cât și derivate, în care unul din morfeme este un împrumut:
  triunghi <  triangle, surprinde <  surprendre;
  dopage <  doping "dopare",  supermarché < supermarket;
  agrárkérdés <  Agrarfrage "chestiune agrară", eltussol <  vertuschen "a mușamaliza".

Unele calcuri lexicale pot fi numite internaționale. Astfel, cuvântul german Übermensch, creat de filosoful german Friedrich Nietzsche, a dat în română supraom, în franceză surhomme, în italiană suprauomo, în engleză superman, în rusă сверхчеловек (sverhcelovek), în croată nadčovjek etc.

Sunt și calcuri lexicale imperfecte, bunăoară  Halbinsel "peninsulă" (literal "insulă pe jumătate") <  paeninsula (literal "aproape insulă"). Cuvântul englez skyscraper (literal "zgârietor de cer") a dat calcuri exacte ( gratte-ciel,  rascacielos,  neboder), dar și imperfecte:  zgârie-nori,  felhőkarcoló (literal "zgârietor de nori").

Calc frazeologic

În general se consideră calc frazeologic cel al cărui rezultat este o unitate frazeologică, inclusiv o expresie idiomatică, fie de tip sintagmă sau de tip propoziție. De exemplu  course contre la montre "cursă contra cronometru" este un calc după sintagma  race against de clock, sau  ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé "nu e ceea ce îmi place mie, nu e pasiunea mea" (literal "nu este ceașca mea de ceai") este traducerea propoziției  it's not my cup of tea.

Alte exemple:
  cultul personalității <  культ личности (kul't licinosti);
  să revenim la oile noastre <  revenons à nos moutons;
  accomplished fact "fapt împlinit" <  fait accompli;
  paper tiger "tigru de hârtie" <  zhǐ lǎohǔ;
  power politics "politică de forță" <  Machtpolitik;
  lentes de contacto "lentile de contact" <  contact lenses;
  golpe de Estado "lovitură de stat" <  coup d'État.

Și printre asemenea calcuri există parțiale, de pildă  învățământ secundar <  enseignement secondaire, hindi și urdu d̩abal kamrā "cameră cu două paturi" <  double room.

Sunt și calcuri frazeologice internaționale. Criticul literar francez Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve a creat expresia tour d'ivoire în legătură cu scriitorul Alfred de Vigny, de unde au rezultat  turn de fildeș,  ivory tower,  torre d'avorio,  башня из слоновой кости (bașnia iz slonovoi kosti),  elefántcsonttorony etc.

Unii lingviști disting și calcuri lexico-frazeologice, dar nu după aceleași criterii. După Larizgoitia 2010 este vorba de calcuri al căror rezultat este o sintagmă fără verb (vezi mai sus exemplele din limba spaniolă). Constantinescu-Dobridor 1998 și Hristea 2003 consideră lexico-frazeologic acel calc în care se cuprinde un cuvânt calchiat într-o unitate frazeologică calchiată. Un exemplu este  a face anticameră <  faire antichambre, în care anticameră este un calc lexical parțial, iar întreaga expresie un calc frazeologic.

Calc gramatical

Exemple de calc morfologic se găsesc, de exemplu, în română, unde verbe latinești active au devenit reflexive sub influență slavă: a se naște < roditi sę, a se teme < bojati sę, a se ruga < moliti sę. În franceză de asemenea se găsește un fenomen analog, dar numai regional, de pildă, construcția cu verb activ în standard remercier pour quelque chose "a mulțumi pentru ceva" se folosește în Alsacia cu pronume reflexiv (se remercier pour quelque chose), sub infuența folosirii sale în  sich bedanken für etwas.

Calcul sintactic se manifestă de exemplu în unele calcuri lexico-frazeologice. Printre cele de mai sus, construcția unora corespunde normelor gramaticale ale limbii receptoare, ex.  accomplished fact (atributul adjectival înaintea substantivului determinat) "fapt împlinit" <  fait accompli (atributul după substantiv). Sunt însă și calcuri lexico-frazeologice care preiau și structura străină, de exemplu topica sintagmei, deci sunt în același timp și calcuri gramaticale. Astfel sunt, de exemplu în franceză, Nord-Coréen "nord-coreean" <  North Korean, Sud-Africain "sud-african" <  South African, în timp ce conform normelor francezei standard ar fi normale Coréen du Nord, respectiv Africain du Sud.

La nivel de propoziție și frază există de asemenea calcuri sintactice. În română, de exemplu, verbul a sluji poate avea complement direct (a sluji pe cineva), dar și complement indirect (a sluji cuiva), sub influența construcției  служить некому (slujit' nekomu). În franceza din Canada se întâlnesc, de pildă, construcții cu prepoziții traduse exact din engleză în loc de prepoziții prevăzute de franceza standard: être sur l'avion (literal "a fi pe avion") < to be on the plane vs. être dans l'avion "a fi în avion". În maghiara standard, verbul kell "a trebui" se construiește cu infinitivul altui verb (ex. el kell mennem "trebuie să plec"), dar în Transilvania se folosește o construcție cu imperativ-conjunctivul, el kell menjek, sub influența românei, care nu a fost, dar în prezent este acceptată și în Ungaria.

Există de asemenea calc morfologic și sintactic în același timp. Bunăoară, în română, verbul mai sus amintit a se ruga, pe lângă că a devenit reflexiv, în sens religios se construiește cu complement în dativ, tot sub influență slavă: a se ruga cuiva.

Calc lexico-gramatical

Prin acest tip de calc au apărut, în română, de exemplu adjective provenite din verbe la gerunziu, sub influența unor adjective verbale provenite din participiul prezent francez: crescând(ă) < croissant(e), sau suferind(ă), folosit ca substantiv <  souffrant(e).

Q: Hide formulas in excel without protecting the sheet I need to hid the formulas in my sheet without protecting the sheet,say i  have sheet 1 in that i need to hide the formulas from range(A1:G10) i can hide the formula but iam not able to provide input for  the whole sheet
My requirement is to hide the selected cells formulas and able to give inputs for other cells in the same sheet how can i achieve this.

A: Select the whole sheet, right click and then select Format Cells.... In the popup window, select Protection tab. Unselect both options and press OK button. This will unlock all cells on the sheet as by default all cells are locked. Next, select your range, repeat the above process again but this time ensure that both options (Locked and Hidden) are selected this time and press OK. Now protect your sheet (in Excel 2013, select the REVIEW tab and select Protect Sheet option and follow the steps).
This will hide your formulas and stop anyone changing the values in the protected cells

Leeward, VCE Ink 15-Yr Solar+Storage PPA in California
Leeward Renewable Energy and Valley Clean Energy announced that they have entered into a 15-year solar-plus-storage Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) involving Leeward's 72-megawatt (MW) solar and 36 MW (144 megawatt-hour) battery storage Willow Springs 3 facility in Kern County, California.
October 20, 2021. By News Bureau
VCE's board of directors approved the PPA on October 14. The Willow Springs 3 project will supply enough reliable, clean electricity for approximately 27% of VCE's 125,000 customers in Yolo County, CA by the end of 2023.
The agreement will also support VCE in achieving its goal of having a 100 percent carbon-neutral portfolio by 2030. As part of the agreement, Leeward will contribute to VCE's local workforce development and sustainability efforts in Yolo and Kern counties to support local hiring and training.
"Valley Clean Energy is proud to announce our partnership with Leeward in the Willow Springs 3 project," said Dan Carson, VCE's Board Chair and Davis City Councilmember.
Willow Springs 3 will generate significant economic benefits for Kern County and create about 300 high-quality local jobs during construction.
This announcement builds on Leeward's momentum in the Antelope Valley, marking its fourth PPA serving the renewable energy needs of leading Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) from its solar projects in Kern County.
"Willow Springs 3 will further enhance our ability to provide Californians with a cleaner, more reliable power grid. We are very excited to partner with Valley Clean Energy to not only expand the use of renewable energy throughout California, but also deliver additional benefits to the residents of Kern and Yolo Counties through local workforce engagement and sustainability initiatives," said Leeward's Senior Vice President of Development, Kathryn Arbeit.
Leeward will own and operate the facility. Construction will begin December 2021 and the project is expected to begin delivering energy to Valley Clean Energy by December 2023.

The most polluted streets in Scotland in 2022
Home > The most polluted streets in Scotland in 2022
23rd January 2023 By Gavin Thomson
Every January, we look at air pollution data for the previous year to find the most polluted streets, and this year we have some good news: Scotland did not breach legal air pollution limits in 2022.
This is the first time it has done so since the limit was brought in in 2010 (excluding 2020 which was an outlier due to the impact of lockdowns).
This improvement in air quality is a clear sign that the low emission zones are already working, and three out of four of them haven't even properly started. Of course this does not mean that the air pollution problem is solved – many streets are just below the legal limit, and some did get worse in 2022 – but it's a positive step.
Low Emission Zones help clear the air
In Glasgow, where we saw the biggest improvement the low emission zone began in 2019, annually restricting more and more polluting buses. Now every bus going through the city centre has to meet the minimum emission standard, with private cars to follow in June this year. To support bus operators to meet the criteria, the Scottish Government has provided grants for buying new buses or retrofitting older buses.
In Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen, the low emission zones will come into effect in June of this year, but bus companies have already begun to update their vehicles with the grant money, so we're already starting to see some improvements.
Unfortunately in Perth and Inverness, where low emission zones aren't planned, we've not seen any improvement, and in some places it's even got worse – so it's clear that they really make an impact and that councils across Scotland should be considering them for any polluted areas.
Which streets are the most polluted?
We analysed official air pollution data for 2022, looking at two toxic pollutants which are primarily produced by transport, and these were the most polluted streets.
Air pollution from transport is responsible for thousands of premature deaths in Scotland every year, and causes serious heart and lung issues. There's also growing evidence of the impact of air pollution on our brains, and recent studies have linked it with dementia.
When it comes to air pollution, we know what works. We need to take control of our public transport to run comprehensive services that serve passengers not profit, and more options for safe walking and cycling, to improve the air we breathe permanently.

George Boyd tops distance covered table
George Boyd tries to escape the attention of Stoke's Phil Bardsley
Published: 13:02 Monday 24 November 2014
Clarets winger George Boyd has covered more ground in a single game than any other Premier League player this season.
The 29-year-old, signed by Sean Dyche on transfer deadline day, topped the charts for distances covered in the 2-1 win over Stoke City this weekend.
Boxshot Wizard file used for creating global boxshots
Data, courtesy of the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index, the official player ranking index of the Premier League, showed the former Tiger registered 8.29 miles at the Britannia Stadium.
Boyd is also ranked fourth and ninth in the top 10 - covering 8.07 miles and 7.95 miles in fixtures against Hull City and West Ham United respectively.
Swansea's Gylfi Sigurdsson is ranked second and third, covering 8.19 miles against Manchester United and 8.1 miles in the 1-0 win over the Clarets at the Liberty Stadium in August.
Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin is fifth, Spurs' Christian Eriksen sixth, Arsenal's Mathieu Flamini is seventh, Leicester City's Dean Hammond is eighth and Manchester City's James Milner is 10th.

U4-303 - Set allowed DocumentType under "Content" root node.
I would like to be able to set allowed child types, like in the structure settings on DocumentType, for the root node of the tree. That way, I could prevent editors from creating any content outside of my site tree.
''Comment by [codegecko|http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/codegecko] on 2/9/2010 9:29:25 AM:'' Hi bigfinger, you can do this simply by specifying that certain document types must be child nodes of others. This will then limit the options available to add under the Content node, as you'll only be allowed to create nodes of types that are not implicitly children of other document type nodes. Example: I have 2 doctypes, Blog and BlogPost. BlogPost is specified as being an "allowed child document type" of Blog. I cannot create BlogPost underneath the "Content" node because there must be a Blog node above it. By applying the same principle to your other doctypes you end up with an implicitly-specified set of document types that are allowed as first-level children of Content. It's a round-about way of doing it but it's how it works at present, however, I'll raise it with the rest of the core team.
