Название
Топоним Хонканиеми в переводе с финского означает «Сосновый мыс».

Весной 1948 года пристанционный посёлок Хонканиеми был переименован в посёлок Сосновка, с обоснованием «по природным условиям». Через полгода комиссия по переименованию изменила название на Лебедевка. Последнее образовано от фамилии кавалера Ордена Отечественной войны I степени, командира 12-тонного деревянного катера-дымзавесчика «КМ-905» 10-го дивизиона сторожевых катеров КБФ старшины 1-й статьи Николая Михайловича Лебедева (1922—1944), погибшего при высадке десанта на острове Пийсари (ныне Северный Берёзовый).

С 1 августа 1941 года по 30 июня 1944 года — финская оккупация.

Согласно данным 1966 и 1973 годов посёлок при станции Лебедевка входил в состав Черкасовского сельсовета.

Согласно данным 1990 года посёлок при станции Лебедевка входил в состав Гавриловского сельсовета.

В 1997 году в посёлке при станции Лебедевка Гавриловской волости проживали 127 человек, в 2002 году — 85 человек (русские — 98 %).

В 2007 году в посёлке при станции Лебедевка Гончаровского СП проживали 94 человека, в 2010 году — 120 человек.

45 SW Airmen Receive Valor Awards from Local Community
By Airman 1st Class Dalton Williams, 45th Space Wing Public Affairs / Published August 26, 2019
Airman 1st Class Tyler Digby, 45th Security Forces Squadron, installation entry controller, poses for a photo on the beaches at Patrick AFB, Fla., August 7, 2019. Digby was recently awarded the Medal of Valor at the Melbourne Regional Chamber Valor Awards. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Dalton Williams)

Morehead was awarded the Life Saving Medal during the Melbourne Regional Chamber Valor Awards for his actions responding to a call at the Patrick AFB golf course. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Dalton Williams)
PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. --
"It was pure instinct. Honestly, I wasn't even thinking about what was going to happen to me. I was just focused on getting out there, getting to him, and getting him back."
Airman 1st Class Tyler Digby, Staff Sgt. Avery Morehead, and Master Sgt. Wynee Diaz — each of these Airmen had just a single moment to react, and each individually saved someone's life in a moment of crisis.
For their actions in these moments, Airmen from the 45th Space Wing were recently awarded Melbourne Regional Chamber Valor Awards, which honor local first responders and military members.
After each citation was read, each Airman came on stage and humbly accepted their award.
Airman 1st Class Tyler Digby
For Digby, 45th Security Forces Squadron installation entry controller, it started out as a normal perimeter patrol on a Sunday afternoon across Patrick AFB beaches.
Around 1 p.m., he immediately responded to a call stating that multiple children were being swept away from the beach by rip currents.
When Digby arrived to the scene, people were already providing assistance to those affected. Approximately five minutes later, he received another call for someone being pulled away by rip currents. Then another. And another.
Digby assisted his supervisor, his flight chief, Brevard County Fire & Rescue, Brevard Ocean Rescue and Patrick AFB Fire Department for a total of 12 calls.
"It was just back to back for two hours," said Digby.
On the last call he and his supervisor were alone. Out in the distance they saw a man bobbing his head up and down in the water, trying to keep from sinking into the depths below.
Digby immediately took off his belt, holster, plate carrier, boots, and socks and plunged into the water. As he was wading in, he called to some surfers nearby to send their board his way. He battled waves and waters approximately 10 feet deep for what felt like hours. While the surfers were making his way to him, he used his strength to keep the man above the waves.
When the bystanders reached him, Digby heaved the man on the board. Away from land and with the team's emotions high, he calmed them and directed the team back to shore.
Crawling back onto the beach, Digby then provided assistance to the other people who helped him, before he allowed himself to be checked by first responders.
"It was pure instinct," said Digby. "Honestly, I wasn't even thinking about what was going to happen to me. I was just focused on getting out there, getting to him, and getting him back."
Digby was awarded the Medal of Valor.
Staff Sgt. Avery Morehead
Staff Sgt. Avery Morehead, 45th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, and Military Working Dog, Tigi, were patrolling Manatee Cove on Patrick AFB when Morehead heard the call that a seven year old was unconscious on the golf course.
He responded to the call in less than 60 seconds to find bystanders performing chest compressions on what turned out to be a 70 year old man.
He immediately took over, performing chest compressions for minutes. Patrick AFB Fire Department arrived shortly after and checked the man's pulse. It was weak.
Morehead's chest compressions were the only thing keeping the man alive.
Then Brevard County first responders arrived, switched out with Morehead, and defibrillated the man three times before transporting him to a local hospital.
Morehead's actions were critical in saving the man's life.
"As soon as I saw that they were doing chest compressions on him I knew from that moment, that was it," said Morehead. "It was just 'go in and get the job done,' "said Morehead.
Morehead was awarded the Life Saving Medal.
Master Sgt. Wynee Diaz
While deployed in Afghanistan, Master Sgt. Wynee Diaz heard an explosion.
The base was under attack.
Diaz looked outside and saw a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer in a state of shock. She immediately left shelter, grabbed the SNCO and pulled her inside. Diaz stayed by her side until the attack was over.
"I wouldn't have done anything different," said Diaz. "Our priority is to take care of each other. We're all brothers and sisters out there."
Diaz doesn't consider what she did in that moment to be extraordinary. Instead she shifts the focus to those still deployed.
"There are people still out there," said Diaz. "A care package, or even a simple message goes a long way."
Diaz was presented an Award of Merit.
It's because of their ability to stay calm under pressure, demonstrating immeasurable courage, that three people are alive today.
After the ceremony, Digby, Morehead, and Diaz walked through the parking lot in their uniform, got back in their cars and prepared for the next day.

Q: backgroundColor change JavaScript I want to target this:

Oct

I did this:
    var changeColor = function () {
        var monName = new Array ('Jan' ... 'Dec'); //ellipsis to make code short
        var now = new Date();

        if(monName == monName[now.getMonth()]) {
           switch(monName) {
                case 'Jan':
                   document.getElementById('month').style.backgroundColor = '#ff3300';
                   break;
                   .
                   .
                   .
                   .
                case 'Dec':
                   document.getElementById('month').style.backgroundColor = '#c2dd8a';
                   break;
                default:
                   alert('Error');

                }
        }
};

I called the function in the html body element (external js file between script tags properly sourced already):

It didn't seem to work. I'm suspecting there is an error with how I target the h3 element. My overall idea is to change the background color as the month changes for the targeted element. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A: Try to change your if statement to:
if(document.getElementById('month').innerHTML == monName[now.getMonth()])

Also, your switch statement should be:
switch(monName[now.getMonth()])

A: I would remove the if test completely.

Few consumers know how to negotiate a real estate commission, and most who have done it have made some big mistakes. This short article is intended to provide home buyers with some basic knowledge to help them negotiate that fee and the services that come with it.
1. Only use small brokerage firms. Stay away from large brokerage firms. Big broker firms rarely negotiate their fees. In fact, most big brokerage firms incorporate subtle market manipulations that increase the likelihood that they will collect a double commission and strip you of your right to representation. Small brokers often offer far better service, better marketing strategies and they are much more likely to negotiate their fees (especially very small firms). If you pick a broker/agent who does not have to share their fee with their firm, you will have eliminated almost 50% of the fees. Smaller is better and they have access to all the same marketing opportunities. Also, consider hiring an Exclusive Buyer Agent (EBA). These are agents who work at firms that only represent buyers. We have started a Nationwide List of EBA's (click here) and the only one of its kind that does not charge referral fees or a fee of any kind for this service. We have also begun compiling a list of buyer agents who have alternative fee arrangements that result in a discount to consumers. Nationwide List of Agent's Whose Fees are Fair (click here).2. Buyer broker's compensation. An Explanation. Today, many home buyers do their own research and find homes on their own searching Zillow.com, Realtor.com, Trulia.com and others. However, most of those buyers end up contacting the listing broker and unknowingly forfeit their representation and give the listing broker an extra 3% in commissions. A savvy do it yourself homebuyer can save thousands of dollars by following our steps.Most buyer agents tell their clients not to worry about their fee because they get paid by the seller. Untrue. Buyer broker's fees are negotiable – just look at any buyer representation contract and you should see CYA terminology indicating that their fee is negotiable. The only reason buyer brokers get paid by the seller is that every listing commission negotiation includes two commissions, the fee payable to the listing broker and the fee "offered" to be applied towards the agreed upon buyer broker fee (agreed upon between the buyer and the buyer broker). However, if no one claims the buyer broker fee offered by the seller's listing broker, the listing broker pockets both (a double commission, called a "hogger" in the industry). When that happens, the buyer and seller forfeit their right to any meaningful representation and the broker gets paid double for doing a fraction of the work. Buyers should be aware of how much money is being offered to buyer brokers on every listing (only buyer brokers have access to this information – it is hidden from buyers) and leverage that to their advantage. Few buyers know how important it is to do this.
a. Hire a buyer agent from a small firm on an hourly basis. If their fee is contingent upon a successful closing, expect a higher hourly rate. If not, $50 an hour should suffice for most. Do not approach large brokerage firms as they are in the business of collecting double commissions and rarely will negotiate. Small brokers have the same technology at their fingertips sans the conflict of interests and are much more open to innovative fee arrangements.
b. Set up appointments with listing brokers to see houses (without your buyer broker) and make sure the listing broker is aware that you have signed a buyer broker agreement with another broker. If the listing broker refuses to show the property, contact the seller (information is usually available through online property tax records) and ask to see the property. In that situation, the listing broker has likely violated their contractual duties to their seller.
c. When you have narrowed your search down to the properties you want, ask your buyer broker for their opinion. Require them to examine the property and confirm the facts in the MLS listing (e.g., a large percentage of the MLS listings contain inaccurate information on land and building dimensions).
d. Hire a real estate attorney to draft the purchase agreement. Attorneys have far more training on contract drafting than real estate agents.
e. On a $300,000 house, expect to save $3,000 to $7,000 in the form of a commission rebate. Your buyer broker will collect the fee and pay the difference to you. If that is not possible in your state (11 states prohibit rebates – sign our petition), have the seller reduce the purchase price by this amount.
f. ALWAYS tell your lender about the commission rebate as soon as possible so that it can be approved by the underwriter.
g. ALWAYS manage your broker's time allocated to your transaction. Purchase agreements often take just a few minutes to draft given the sophisticated nature of drafting software and Realtors have no legitimate business in attending the closing. If you want representation at closing, hire an attorney (they are licensed to provide legal advice).
4. Junk fees. Read your listing contract carefully. Many brokers include junk fees in the boilerplate of their contracts. No matter what your agent tells you, it is a mistake to pay this.
5. Bonuses. Some listing brokers actually offer secret bonuses on certain properties. We think the practice is illegal and possibly criminal, but the practice exists. Put it in writing, all bonuses belong to the buyer. Do not split this with your agent as it creates an improper incentive. This is your money.
6. Negotiate the terms of your representation. Controlled business arrangements, home warranties (that pay kickbacks to agents and brokers), dual agency (double commission "hoggers"), arbitration and other traps are all worthy traps that live in these agreements. We have an entire page dedicated to consumer-friendly Buyer Representation Clauses to help you along (click here to see it).


An online ad significantly taller than the 120x240 vertical banner.
Skyscraper ads are tall -- very tall -- with heights often ranging from 500 to 800 pixels (and widths often ranging from 120 to 160 pixels). For a long time there was no standard sizes to which buyers and sellers adhered. This made skyscraper ads the province of large, well-branded sites that could sell custom advertising packages.
The IAB has since announced standard sizes for skyscraper ads. The standard skyscraper is 120x600 and the wide skyscraper is 160x600. With standards in place, skyscraper ads became more common at advertising networks.
Skyscraper ads are often called skyscraper banners, although some examples have mimicked the look of a banner by using a combination of ad buttons and text.

Many people who have faced such aa disease like osteochondrosis, are interested in what painkillers for osteochondrosis are effective in dealing with this problem? Regardless of the stage of the inflammatory process, the cause of the pathological reactions in the body, it must be remembered that self-medication is unacceptable. Any drugs and dosages should be prescribed only by a qualified specialist after a preliminary examination and an accurate diagnosis.
So, what anesthetic for osteochondrosis to choose?
Depending on the site of the lesion, osteochondrosisdivided into cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Painful sensations are the most pronounced symptom of this ailment, therefore all therapeutic measures should be appointed in a timely manner and in a complex. Anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medications are the key methods in eliminating the symptoms of the disease.
All medicinal pain relieversosteochondrosis is available in the form of tablets, patches, rectal suppositories, injections, blockades. For each specific situation, the most effective drug in complex therapy is selected.
Depending on the type of pathologicalprocess, from the form and stage of development, from the location of painful sensations, and from what additional problems are present, the doctor selects the optimal medications. All medicinal substances for the treatment of osteochondrosis are classified into categories that are determined by the method of influence on the body.
Medicines that are designed to improve blood circulation.
Often, a doctor is prescribed analgesics. These medicines have antipyretic effect, stop inflammatory reactions, neutralize the unpleasant symptoms of the disease. To such medicines carry: "Analginum", "Ketanol", "Butadion", "Baralgin". Another effective drug is a drug containing active ingredients called "paracetamol" and "phenacitin", derivatives of propionic acid. To this category of drugs include: "Paracetamol", "Citramon", "Ascofen", "Flutabs", "Strymol".
Anesthetics for osteochondrosis are most oftennon-steroidal medicines, are used to arrest inflammatory reactions that develop in cartilaginous structures. Such substances in parallel help to relieve pain. These medications include: Ibuprofen, Naise, Nimesil, Ketorol, Diclofenac, Nurofen. To reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process in the muscular apparatus, muscle relaxants are used. The most common is "Midokalm". Thanks to such tools, spasms in the muscle fibers are quickly suppressed, the whole apparatus is relaxed, thus, the painful sensations become much less.
In addition to tableted drugs in order toneutralize the pain, in complex therapy sedatives are prescribed. Thanks to them, the activity of the pain signal is significantly reduced, the functioning of the nervous system is established. These funds include valerian, Novopassit, Persen.
In the event that a person suffers from intenseexpressed painful sensations, the doctor prescribes drugs that are injected. This form of drug release has a therapeutic effect after two to three minutes after insertion. An anesthetic for cervical osteochondrosis makes it possible to significantly increase work capacity within a short period of time. Analgesic compounds, vitamin substances belonging to the B category, glucocorticosteroids, antispasmodics are considered to be the key drugs for the elimination of intensely painful sensations.
In what cases can I do without nuzzles?
If the pain is intensely felt, it can not be tolerated.
With intense manifestations of the disease that struck the cervical section.
With a strong pathological process in the tissues of the lumbar region.
If the disease is in an acute stage.
If the pain occurs in the breastdepartment of the spine, they are usually not expressed, so no injections are prescribed. If osteochondrosis develops in the cervical or lumbar region, usually unpleasant sensations are too intense, so there is no need to do without injections. For injection, anti-inflammatory drugs, pain medications, and medications are prescribed that help to eliminate nerve entrapment or hyperemia of the affected area.
Anesthetics for osteochondrosis in pricksare designed to reduce or completely stop the pain, but they are not an independent medicine, they are usually prescribed only as an aid in an integrated approach to therapy.
To anesthetize, during the development of osteochondrosisoften blockades are appointed. Such manipulations are carried out directly to the affected and painful place. The blockade is applied to certain points located in close proximity to the vertebral column. The injection is made in a soft tissue that is located around the nerve root, or in a depression located in the area of the intervertebral discs. The epidural blockade is performed directly into the intervertebral disc. Such a procedure is complex and must be performed only by a qualified specialist.
How to anesthetize osteochondrosis at home?
For the blockade, it is advisable to use"Dexamethasone" or "Novocain." Thanks to this procedure, pain is eliminated, the intensity of the inflammatory process decreases. If osteochondrosis of the cervical region is diagnosed, the procedure should be performed very carefully, since in this area there are a large number of arteries, veins, nerve fibers.
Anesthetics for osteochondrosishave a quick effect. Plasters and ointments are used locally, treating the affected area. They neutralize the severity of pain, regulate microcirculation, accelerate metabolism. The most common ointments are: "Fastum gel", "Menovazin", "Capsicum", "Finalgon", "Apizarthron". All of them are designed to reduce the intensity of symptoms. If they are used correctly, in complex therapy, a persistent therapeutic effect can be achieved.
Used anti-inflammatory,anesthetic, warming agents, complex ointments, chondroprotectors. All of them should be appointed only by a specialist after a preliminary examination, examination, diagnosis.
One of the most common drugsis "Fastum gel." It reduces soreness, improves the functioning of the joint apparatus. It contains active components that penetrate deep into the structures, reducing edema, the intensity of the inflammatory reaction.
Gel "Dolobene" is considered universalmedicament. It is used to neutralize the symptoms, to reduce the pathological process, it is an antimicrobial, antithrombotic, restorative. It is absorbed deep into the skin, for a short period of time it has an effect.
Another effective medicine is the gel"Capsicum". Thanks to it, microcirculation of the blood fluid improves, metabolism improves in pathologically altered places, and the functions of the muscular apparatus are restored. The drug "Chondroxide" cures the inflammatory process, helps strengthen the cartilaginous structures.
We listed what pain medications are used for lumbar osteochondrosis.
For treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is goodThe warming up patches have recommended themselves. They anesthetize, eliminate other unpleasant clinical manifestations of the disease. Effective is the plaster "Dorsaplast." It is glued to the site of soreness, without affecting vital sites (for example, lymph nodes).
Wearing the patch lasts up to five days. If osteochondrosis of the lumbar region is diagnosed, the anesthetic and warming patches are applied directly to the painful area. Better stick on at night, before going to bed. Wearing such a device is permissible within 12 hours, after which it is recommended to change the patch new.
Very effective in complex treatmentosteochondrosis of the cervical region is pepper plaster. Thanks to the active components in its composition, there is a significant improvement in the microcirculation of the blood fluid, and the nerve tissues begin to recover quickly. Due to the right approach, timely access to a specialist, you can achieve a stable remission and eliminate unpleasant symptoms of the disease. This analgesic for osteochondrosis of the lumbar region is quite effective.
What kind of pain reliever helps with hemorrhoids?
How effective are the injections in osteochondrosis?
Physical exercises with osteochondrosis. For or against?
Therapeutic gymnastics with osteochondrosis will replace the anesthetic.

Q: Heroku-deployed flask app does not update consistently based on server data I have deployed an app for a school project with basically takes in a user's handwritten digit and then shows the digit on a screen based on some machine learning algorithm.
The user's handwritten digit is stored as a 28x28 JavaScript array and is sent back to the flask app through a post request:
submit_button.onclick = () => {
  const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
    if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
      window.location.replace("/");
    }
  };
  xhr.open("POST", "/submit");
  xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
  xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
  xhr.send(JSON.stringify(printGrid()));
  clearGrid();
};

The Flask app then processes the array through a function and updates a global variable digit based on the output of the function:
@app.route("/submit", methods=['POST'])
def submit():
    global digit
    digit = process_digit(request.get_json())
    return "ok"

The "/" route then returns an updated html template with the digit.
In the development server the webpage does what I expect it to do and only reloads once the digit has been processed based on the xhr.onreadystatechange I set in the JavaScript file.
However, when deployed to heroku, the webpage reloads a short while after the submit button has been pressed but sometimes the digit shown on the screen would not be updated and I would have to do 1 - 3 reloads for it to show to correct value.
Is there anything I could do to solve this issue? I'm new to web development so if anyone could point me to the right resources or point out the mistakes I have made that would be very much appreciated!
EDIT:
Maybe in short what I would like to ask is this: what is the best way to take input from the user using javascript i.e. the 2D array, send it to a python program for processing and then update the webpage properly based on the output from the python program?

41 face trial on terror charges in UAE
The engineer was accused of negligence and not taking the necessary precautions at the work site, which led to the death of the two, and another getting injured. (File)
Published Sunday, August 02, 2015
Salem Saeed Kubaish, the UAE Attorney General has announced that 41 people of various nationalities, including Emiratis, have been referred to the Federal Supreme Court on charges of setting up a terrorist organisation.
He said that an investigation by the Public Prosecution in Attorney General's Office has shown that the 41 people had set up and run a terrorist group inside the UAE called the 'Al Manara Youth Group', which embraced an extremist, terrorist 'takfiri' ideology, with the intention of carrying out terrorist acts in the country in order to affect the security, safety and life of residents and to expose them, including the leadership and the symbols of the state, to danger.
The group also planned to cause damage to public and private property and to seize authority in the country with the aim of creating an alleged Caliphate state, in conformity with their extremist 'takfiri' thoughts and beliefs.
In order to implement their goals and to carry out their terrorist acts, the members of the group obtained arms, ammunition and explosives, using money collected for that purpose, while they also communicated with foreign terrorist groups and organisations, to whom they sent funds, to seek assistance to help them implement their goals in the UAE.
In order to manage the affairs of the terrorist group in such a way as to ensure that they could carry out their plans, the group's members set up a structure of committees and cells with specific functions. One individual was given the task of being the leader of the group, to supervise its activities and to issue the necessary orders and instructions. He was also to decide on the duties and roles of each committee and cell, and to lay down the overall policy and goals of the group and ways of achieving them as well as ways of communicating with foreign armed groups, providing the necessary funds and preparing plans and objectives.
The group also appointed a deputy leader who was assigned the task of supervising the activities of the various sections and of following up on the implementation of various proposals and activities.
In order to ensure the implementation of the group's plans and terrorist activities, they assigned tasks to the committees they had formed of recruiting young Emiratis, to disseminate amongst them extremist 'takfiri' ideas and views through activities falsely purporting to be of a religious nature.
The objective was that then these young Emiratis would be trained in camps specially established for the purpose in how to carry out terrorist acts and how to make explosive devices. The young people would be provided with income and transport to the camps, where they would meet others from the group and would be trained in shooting and fighting.
They would also be taught how to prepare, copy and record audio-visual material and printed material to promote their ideas and to encourage people to fight on the fraudulent basis that such acts would represent a 'jihad', such material to be distributed to members and to the public through the Internet.

Life outside of the lab for Dan is filled with family, music, and games. He plays the guitar, while his son and wife play the piano and oboe, respectively. One of their favorite games to play together at the moment is Carcassonne.
Dan is a materials engineer by training. As a materials engineer, he is interested in determining what materials are optimal for different applications, as well as creating materials that can survive and perform under different conditions. In particular, Dan's research investigates the microstructure of materials. This microstructure lies on the scale between the nanostructure (atomic level) and the macrostructure (centimeters or more). There are a lot of things they can do when processing materials that can change the microstructure, and these changes affect the properties of the material.
In addition to inspiration gained from figures like Carl Sagan and Mr. Wizard, Dan was encouraged to pursue science and engineering by counselors and passionate teachers during middle school and high school. As a college student, Dan had an engineering professor who engaged the class in hands-on activities to better understand materials science, and these demonstrations left Dan absolutely captivated. At that moment he decided to become a materials engineer. Dan's enthusiasm for teaching dates back to his days as a teenager when he taught guitar lessons. It was amazing to be able to help someone suddenly be able to do something they couldn't do moments before. Combining his love of materials science and teaching put Dan on track for a career as a faculty member in materials engineering.
Patience and resilience are lessons that scientists have to learn over time. A few years ago, another researcher published work that Dan had considered pursuing several years before but never completed. Rather than becoming frustrated and giving up when one of his potential research lines was taken by someone else, Dan viewed this as a validation that maybe some of his ideas were good enough for others to want to work on as well. He knew he had other ideas and that if another one failed or came to fruition in another lab, there were still others on which he could work.
A few years ago, Dan was working on a materials science project on grain growth within materials. Grain growth is basically the evolution of the microstructure of a material. They worked out a solution to a geometric problem to determine whether a grain was growing or shrinking. The result was a number that represented the geometric average of the properties of the idealized grain. In that moment when the number emerged, it felt like everything clicked and things started to make sense. This was a phenomenal feeling, and these eureka moments are what researchers chase every day.
One of Dan's favorite places to travel for science is the South of France. He was there not long ago for a meeting on interfaces within the microstructure of materials and how these interfaces behave under certain conditions. While there, Dan enjoyed the beautiful harbor and had time to think critically about what he was doing in the lab and why. There was also time allotted in the meeting for attendees to go for walks and hikes which led to great discussions with other researchers. Dan generated a lot of excellent ideas in just a few days and came back to the lab super-charged and ready to dive back into his research.
In Dan's lab, they have a tradition that was started by one of his students a few years ago where time is informally spent on Fridays building small pieces of equipment needed to do particular jobs in the lab. Typically these pieces of equipment would be prohibitively expensive to buy commercially, but they have made fully functional versions much less expensively to get the job done. One Build-It-Friday invention called a ball mill would have cost a few thousand dollars to purchase, but the students built one that cost only about $50, and it increased productivity by six times over the commercial model!
Everyone is on their own timeline. Your path is your path and yours alone, so try to avoid comparing yourself to others. Keep asking questions, and keep learning new things. Also, fail early, and fail often. If you don't fail, you're not trying hard enough. Getting it wrong is the first step to getting it right.
Dan's current research interests include nanotechnology, thermodynamics, nanomaterials, computational modeling, fuel cells, and energy systems. Prior to joining Rensselaer, Dan was a researcher at GE Global Research. His work focused on oxidation performance and deformation processing of advanced ferritic materials for SOFC interconnects. In addition, Dan studied the metallurgy and electrical properties of amorphous and nano-crystalline soft magnetic materials, oxidation resistant coatings for superalloys, and infrared heating technology development. Before joining GE Global Research, Dan was awarded a two-year National Research Council post-doctoral fellowship. Under this award, he worked at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to study eutectic solidification microstructures using experimental and computational techniques. While at NIST, he co-developed a technique for quantifying solidification microstructures in ternary eutectics. He also studied the effect of solidification velocity on the phase distribution in low-volume fraction ternary eutectics containing intermetallic phases. His computational work involved constructing multi-phase field models for predicting eutectic morphology through lamellar fault motion, phase instabilities, and branching phenomena.

FC Merkur 07 Dortmund is een Duitse voetbalclub uit Dortmund, Noordrijn-Westfalen.

Geschiedenis
De club werd in 1907 opgericht als FC Merkur 07 Huckarde, tot 1914 was Huckarde nog een zelfstandige gemeente, daarna werd het een stadsdeel van Dortmund. In 1911 vroeg de club lidmaatschap aan bij de West-Duitse voetbalbond, maar dit werd afgewezen. Tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog laten de activiteiten stil. In 1919 diende de club opnieuw een aanvraag in bij de bond en werd nu wel geaccepteerd.

De club begon in de C-Klasse van de Ruhrcompetitie en won alle twaalf competitiewedstrijden en werd autoritair kampioen met een doelsaldo van 54:0. Ook het volgende seizoen werd de club ongeslagen kampioen en promoveerde naar de A-Klasse, de derde hoogste klasse. De club kreeg nu meer tegenstand, maar kon door herstructurering van de competitie opnieuw promotie afdwingen naar de Kreisliga. In 1926 degradeerde de club. De club kon meteen terugkeren, maar werd laatste en degradeerde in 1928 opnieuw. In 1931 promoveerde de club nogmaals, maar kon ook nu het behoud niet verzekeren.

Na de invoering van de Gauliga in 1933 werd de competitie weer grondig geherstructureerd en belandde de club in lagere reeksen.

UFE vs. Acessa™: What Should I Opt For?
October 21, 2020 October 21, 2020 / By Dr. John Lipman / About Uterine Fibroids, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
A landmark study from the Journal of Women's Health in 2013 (1) corroborated what many physicians who cared for women with uterine fibroids had known for some time. They evaluated close to 1,000 women who suffered from fibroids and they found that the average time to diagnosis to treatment was three and a half years with nearly one-quarter of them waited five years or more. When the researchers asked why they had waited, most of the women said they did not want surgery, and they weren't given a non-surgical option like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).
Women are demanding less invasive treatments for fibroids. UFE has been available for the past 25 years and remains the best nonsurgical treatment option for fibroids. However, Gynecologists do not perform UFE, and a number of less invasive options have been released that Gynecologists can offer instead of the traditional surgical options: hysterectomy or myomectomy. Four years ago, a new surgical procedure Acessa, started appearing in clinical trials.
What Is Acessa™ and How Does It Work?
Acessa™ is a registered trademark of the medical technology system used to perform laparoscopic radio-frequency ablation. Radio-frequency ablation or RFA utilizes radio-frequency technology to treat different medical conditions including uterine fibroids. Laparoscopic means that the procedure involves a laparoscope (a tiny camera) inserted into the body through relatively small incisions. Acessa™ received FDA approval in 2012.
Unlike UFE, the Acessa procedure is a surgical procedure and performed under general anesthesia. Usually, this is performed in a hospital or an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). The Acessa system consists of three devices: a laparoscope and an ultrasound probe for diagnostics and real-time guidance, and the Acessa hand-piece to perform radio-frequency ablation and destroy fibroids. The surgeon treats fibroids one by one by heating the fibroid tissue with radio-frequency energy until it dies. Then, fibroids shrink and soften. The dead fibroid tissue is not harmful and can get absorbed by the body later.
To learn about the UFE procedure in detail, read our FAQs.
What Is the Difference Between Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) and Acessa™?
Both UFE and Acessa™ are used to treat uterine fibroids. Although both methods are positioned as an alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy, there are significant differences to be considered when identifying the best fibroid treatment solution for you.
Our comparison intends to provide answers to women with symptomatic fibroids who are considering Acessa vs UFE. We encourage you to do your research to understand the choices you have and to pick the best option for you.
UFE vs. Acessa™: General Questions
Acessa™
What type of medical procedure is it? A minimally invasive surgery A minimally invasive non-surgical procedure
How does the procedure work? By heating the fibroid's tissue until it dies By blocking blood flow to fibroids that leads to their death
Does the uterus get manipulated? No, the uterus is fully preserved No, the uterus is fully preserved
Who performs the procedure? An OB/GYN An Interventional Radiologist (like Dr. John Lipman)
Where is the procedure performed? In an outpatient center or a hospital In an outpatient center (like Atlanta Fibroid Center) or a hospital
What type of anesthesia is used? General anesthesia. Local anesthesia or intravenous sedation
How long does the procedure take? 2 hours In Atlanta Fibroid Center it takes 30-45 minutes
Is the procedure painful? No pain during the procedure, but cramping or pelvic pain after No pain during the procedure, but possibly cramping or pelvic pain after
How long does recovery take? Up to a week Up to a week (usually, 4-5 days)
Is the procedure covered by insurance companies? Covered by only a few insurance companies Covered by ALL insurance companies, including Medicare and Medicaid
Both UFE and Acessa™ allow women to keep their uterus, which is undoubtedly an advantage over traditional, open fibroid surgeries. However, there are numerous advantages of UFE over Acessa™.
First, UFE is nonsurgical and therefore safer than the surgical procedure Acessa™. Second, UFE treats all of the fibroids whereas Acessa cannot and will address only the dominant ones. Third, UFE is covered by all insurances including Medicare & Medicaid. Acessa™ is only covered by a few insurance companies as it has only been in clinical trials for less than 5 years (UFE has been available for the past 25 years). In addition, the recovery process after UFE is usually slightly shorter since no general anesthesia is involved.
Who Is a Good Candidate for the Procedure?
What is the age limit for the procedure? No limit, but usually it's women between 35-55 y.o. No limit, but usually it's women between 35-55 y.o.
What type of fibroids can be treated with the procedure? Fibroids NOT located in the cavity, must be <10cm All sizes, types, and locations of fibroids
How many fibroids can be treated during one procedure? Those that are NOT located in the uterus cavity All
Can the procedure treat large fibroids? No Yes, all fibroids regardless of their size and number
Are future pregnancies possible after the procedure? Insufficient data Yes!
Can the procedure treat Adenomyosis? No Yes
Generally speaking, women that undergo UFE and Acessa™ procedures are similar in age, but due to a lack of sufficient data, some categories of patients are not recommended to undergo Acessa™. These are the women with enlarged uterus due to fibroids (larger than "14-week pregnancy") and women planning future pregnancies. Besides, women with fibroids located within the uterus cavity are also ineligible candidates; the procedure is technically limited to treating only fibroids outside of the uterus cavity. Also, Acessa™ cannot treat adenomyosis.
What Should I Expect From the Procedure?
Does the procedure involve incisions? Yes, at least 2 surgical incisions (3/16 inch and 3/8 inch long) Yes, one non-surgical incision (1/32 inch long, so small that patients only need a bandaid after the procedure)
Does the procedure involve stitching? Yes No
What is the success rate of this procedure? No long term data yet. Early results satisfactory 90% based on 25 years of clinical data and peer-reviewed studies
When can patients return home? The same day after the procedure. The same day after the procedure
What is the chance that fibroids re-grow or new ones occur, and the second procedure is required? 5% 5%
How much do fibroids shrink after the procedure? 50% decrease by 12 months 40-50% by 3 months, 60-70% 6 months-1 year
When will patients feel symptom relief? In 3-6 months Some relief in symptoms nearly immediately with further relief in the next 3-6 months after the procedure
Does the procedure provoke menopause? No data Very rarely and only seen in women over 40 years of age
There are some risks associated with Acessa™ and UFE. However, the chance of a complication after UFE is <1%.
In the case of Acessa™, the following risks can occur: skin burns, mild intra-operative bleeding, transient urinary retention or urinary tract infection, adhesion formation, post-procedural discomfort (cramping, pelvic pain), and transient amenorrhea, infection, injury to adjacent structures, vaginal bleeding and temporary anemia, blood loss requiring transfusion or hysterectomy, pneumothorax, wound dehiscence, deep vein thrombosis, treatment failure, and complications related to laparoscopy and/or general anesthesia.
If after careful consideration you decide to opt for UFE, make sure you are in the best hands possible, in the hands of a very experienced and knowledgeable Interventional Radiologist. Dr. John Lipman is one of the world's most experienced UFE physicians with over 8,000 procedures performed.

Q: Which is the smarter git protocol, ssh or git(over ssh) or https protocol? Which is efficient? SSH:// or Git://  (File compression)
I understand in Git, git protocol is smart because there is a protocol agent on both ends of communication to compress the file transfer resulting in faster clone by efficiently using the network bandwidth.
From an O'Reilly book I found the following statements.
For secure, authenticated connections, the Git native
protocol can be tunneled over an SSH connection using
the following URL templates:

ssh: //[user@]example.com[:port]/path/to/repo.git
ssh: //[user@]example.com/path/to/repo.git
ssh: //[user@]example.com/~user2/path/to/repo.git
ssh: //[user@]example.com/~/path/to/repo.git*

I'm not sure if the author means what he says. He talks of git protocol getting tunneled over SSH.
From my perspective, unless you connect to the git port (agent port), the protocol is not in effect. And SSH is merely an uncompressed file transfer. But as per the author, if we use SSH he says the git protocol is tunneled over it. So is SSH smarter in GIT?
Von C,
Thanks for your answer. "Network protocols (HTTP and Git) are generally read-only" Git can be made rw when you run the daemon with --enable=receive-pack.
Following are my concerns.
When they say git protocol is smart, they mean when you execute git clone, Git server agent compresses the data that is sent back to the client, so the clone should be faster. In my use case I'll be setting the Git server in Hongkong and using it on San Jose and other countries as well, So I want to be efficient over network due to latency concerns.
So my question is when I use git clone ssh://user@server/reposloc do I get the benefits of git protocol also? As per O'Reilly author book he means git is tunneled over ssh, then how does git protocol work when I don't have git daemon running on the server.
So using SSh://xyz... does it give both the benefit of ssh and git protocols?
Appreciate your answers in advance.

A: (I wanted to add a comment to @erjiang answer, but I'm not allowed because I don't have enough StackOverflow reputation.)
It seems that since Git 1.6.6, HTTP is not "dumb" anymore. From Git website's blog:

As of the release of version 1.6.6 at the end of last year (2009), however,
  Git can now use the HTTP protocol just about as efficiently as the git
  or ssh versions

A: Update 2010-2014:
Both ssh and https are equivalent, since Git 1.6.6+ (2010) and the implementation of smart http protocol:

You now can use ssh or https for read/write access to your repos.
You can also detect if your remote server supports smart http.
Add the right environment variable if you have to use a proxy.
Q3 2015, as Yousha Aleayoub mentions in the comments:
GitHub "Which remote URL should I use?"

The https:// clone URLs are available on all repositories, public and private.
  They are smart, so they will provide you with either read-only or read/write access, depending on your permissions to the repository.

The git-http-backend is the:

simple CGI program to serve the contents of a Git repository to Git clients accessing the repository over http:// and https:// protocols.
  The program supports clients fetching using both the smart HTTP protocol and the backwards-compatible dumb HTTP protocol, as well as clients pushing using the smart HTTP protocol.

Original answer (July 2010):
From the Pro Git Book:

Probably the most common transport protocol for Git is SSH.
  This is because SSH access to servers is already set up in most places — and if it isn't, it's easy to do.
SSH is also the only network-based protocol that you can easily read from and write to. The other two network protocols (HTTP and Git) are generally read-only, so even if you have them available for the unwashed masses, you still need SSH for your own write commands.
SSH is also an authenticated network protocol; and because it's ubiquitous, it's generally easy to set up and use.

So it is not "smarter" than Git protocol, just a complementary protocol for certain features not addressed by the Git protocol.

The downside of the Git protocol is the lack of authentication. It's generally undesirable for the Git protocol to be the only access to your project.
  Generally, you'll pair it with SSH access for the few developers who have push (write) access and have everyone else use git:// for read-only access
It also requires firewall access to port 9418, which isn't a standard port that corporate firewalls always allow. Behind big corporate firewalls, this obscure port is commonly blocked.

(that is why in my shop, I need to use ssh+git and not just git, even for read access: 9418 is blocked...)

A: Take a look at the second part of this page
The only "dumb" protocol is straight HTTP, which requires no special effort on the server.  In both the git:// and ssh:// protocols, a git upload-pack process (which is not a daemon) is forked on the server that communicates with the client who's running git fetch-pack.  In both ssh:// and git://, you get "smart" communication.

A: When you access git over ssh it just tunnels the git protocol over ssh, way easier to set up and way more secure, this the preferred way to access remote repositories.
This is actually "smarter" than the bare git protocol, because it can enforce user authentication via ssh mechanisms. git does all the compressing and what not on the client regardless of the transport layer, and it decompresses it on the server.
The "git" server doesn't do this, all this happens when using ssh as well. the git server should be avoided if you want to be able to write to the remote repository. if you want read only access git or HTTP transports are "OK", but if you have developers that need to write to the respository you should just use ssh. Setting up tunnels for the git server is just adding to complexity and configuration that will be brittle and gain you nothing.

A: From Wikipedia:

To set up an SSH tunnel, one configures an SSH client to forward a specified local port to
  a port on the remote machine. Once the SSH tunnel has been established, the user can
  connect to the specified local port to access the network service. The local port need not
  have the same port number as the remote port.

If you need some kind of ASCII art representation:
Git Data ---> [SSH encrypts data] ----- Internet -----> [SSH decrypts data] ----> Git Data

A: The various protocols are at different levels (e.g. the ISO 7 layer model), so you can have both, just as you could be connected by Wires or Wirelessly, or fibre.

A: A quick search of the pack files during a git clone will list a single pack file that is sent from the server to the client. The pack file is listed under .git/objects/pack/pack-XXXX.pack. The files to be sent from the server to the client are first packed, compressed. Then there is a single copy of the packed contents. This can be seen when comparing the packed files using lsof -p  on the server side and lsof -p  on the client side. In the sample case a 200MB files is uploaded from the server to the client....
1) Server side
   lsof -p 8079 | grep pack
   git-uploa 8079  REG  253,2 277896169 5140075 /home/server/work/work0617/.git/objects/pack/pack-492945ae602a975d46df133f6ded9642146fb6a7.pack
   git-uploa 8079  REG  253,2   1703472 5140076 /home/server/work/work0617/.git/objects/pack/pack-492945ae602a975d46df133f6ded9642146fb6a7.idx
   git-uploa 8079  REG  253,2 277896169 5140075 /home/server/work/work0617/.git/objects/pack/pack-492945ae602a975d46df133f6ded9642146fb6a7.pack

2) Client side
   lsof -p 3140 | grep pack
   git     3140  3u   REG    8,1 101031935 3681610 /home/client/work/work0617/work0617/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_pRfYPa

 3) The server side pack file 277MB. The file on the client side is 101MB and growing. So a single compressed file is copied over.

I'm kind of hoping that with March starting tomorrow we might be on our way to some more Spring-like weather. I'm probably being overly optimistic though – I've known the snow here to last into early May even… At least the days are getting much lighter!

I feel like I've used a very similar picture to this one before… There's something striking about the red of the bucket against the white of the snow. And the haphazard way it's been abandoned – the boys decided they could have fun with just spades, no need for buckets.
