Oregon's Response to Declining Hunting and Fishing License Sales
Nation-wide, hunting and fishing are increasing in most states, yet five states that appear to be prime outdoor sports states are experiencing significant declines in hunting and fishing -- Vermont, Arkansas, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Oregon.
Oregon has the second largest forest acreage of any state; a spectacular coastline with great ocean fishing; salmon, trout and steelhead in most rivers; and many rivers, lakes and wildlife refuges, yet the number of hunting and fishing licenses sold in Oregon are the lowest in 30 years as other outdoor recreation activities like wildlife watching are growing. (http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PLANS/docs/scorp/2013-2018_SCORP/Demand_Analysis.pdf>Link) This has a significant effect on the state's economy, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is facing a projected $32 million budget gap.
Oregon state legislators are exploring all options, including a special conservation license plate, but nothing would make up the $32 million shortfall. ODFW will be trying to get more money from the state general fund or plan for reductions in programs and staff, along with license and tag increases. (http://www.dfw.state.or.us/agency/budget/docs/ODFW_budget_background_handout.pdf>Link)
With the help of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, I contacted two members of the Oregon legislature to get the inside story: representatives Sal Esquivel (R) and Brad Witt (D), the outgoing House Co-Chairs of the Oregon Legislative Sportsmen's Caucus. Representative Esquivel is also a member of the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC) Executive Council. The following are their responses to questions about what can be done in the short run as well as the long run.
My question: Can you explain why Oregon's fishing and hunting numbers are declining?
Representative Esquivel: "Probably the largest factors contributing to the decline in hunting and fishing participation are the loss in access and diminished big game populations, both of which mean fewer opportunities to harvest animals. Declining deer and elk populations, whether it be from habitat loss, increased mortality from predators, or other factors, discourages a lot of people from heading into the field. On top of that, a lot of sportsmen also report a reduction in access to places to hunt and fish. It's tough for folks to justify buying a tag when their opportunity to harvest something, and even get in the field, is increasingly limited.
This all coalesces to create a vicious cycle: Fewer hunting and fishing licenses sold means less money for conservation and fish and wildlife management, which in turn leads to diminished hunting and fishing success rates and opportunities. It's a complex problem that we have to fix; if we don't, we risk losing the outdoor traditions that make Oregon such a great place to live, not to mention losing the positive, critical conservation and economic impacts provided by hunting and fishing."
My question: What's being done to reverse the decline in numbers?
Representative Witt,: "Many groups in the state are working to get more women and youth into the outdoors. Groups like the Oregon Hunters Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and B.A.S.S., among many others, hold youth hunting and firearm workshops and fishing tournaments. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife also hosts clinics around the state, in conjunction with sportsmen's groups, for both youth and beginning hunters. Many of these groups have similar programs to encourage women to get into hunting and fishing. In fact, while Oregon may be facing an overall decline in hunters and anglers, we've actually seen an increase in the percentage of Oregon women who are hunters and anglers.
One thing I'd encourage other states to take a look at, if they don't already have something in place, is our Mentored Youth Hunter Program. This program allows a licensed hunter (21 and older) to act as a sort of guide for young, first-time hunters. So long as the mentor has all of the requisite tags and licenses, then the youth hunter (ages 9-13) can hunt with them for the species for which the mentor has tags, without having to buy tags themselves. This is a great program because it works as sort of a "try before you buy" system that allows youngsters to get into hunting and gain in-the-field experience at little to no cost. The kids learn a lot of valuable skills through this program, such as firearm safety and wildlife identification."
Representative Esquivel: "Another unique program, of which Oregon is a participating member, is the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses (NASC). NASC is a program of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF), and acts as a communication network for the 45 state legislative sportsmen's caucuses around the country. The NASC program helps facilitate interaction between state sportsmen's caucuses, sportsmen's groups, state agencies, and industry partners, and NASC members have access to extensive informational and educational on sportsmen's issues. As a member of the NASC Executive Council (EC), I've witnessed firsthand the expansive growth of the program over the past few years, and the critical role that the NASC network plays in protecting our sportsmen's heritage. I'd encourage any state who is yet to form a sportsmen's caucus to do so and participate in the NASC program."
My Question: What new legislation is being promoted that can help restore the outdoor recreation industry in Oregon?
Representative Esquivel: "We are exploring opportunities for the Legislature to support efforts to help to educate the non-hunting and angling public about the role that sportsmen and women play in conserving fish and wildlife that is enjoyed by all Oregonians. The money we pay in license and tag fees funds the work of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), is responsible for managing both game and non-game fish and wildlife in the state. The excise taxes we pay on things like guns, ammunition, fishing tackle, archery equipment and motor boat fuel ultimately generate revenue for state fish and wildlife agencies that manage public trust resources through this "user pays-public benefits" structure. In 2014 alone, Oregon received an apportionment of over $24 million through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration (WSFR) program, the federal program that allocates these revenues back to the states for fish and wildlife management. This is a huge benefit for all Oregonians, regardless of whether or not they hunt or fish. Sportsmen and women know the impact of our license dollars and volunteer efforts, but we haven't always done the best job of communicating those contributions to the public at large."
My question: What's the best way for people, especially outdoor groups, members of the industry, and federal legislators to help restore Oregon's outdoor sports and preserve the state's natural resources?
Representative Witt: "I'd encourage outdoor groups to contact their state legislators about issues that concern them. The Oregon Sportsmen's Caucus has been successful in no small part due to the legislative engagement from sportsmen's groups across the state. Our sportsmen and women do a great job of providing background data on important issues, and always turn out in large numbers for pertinent legislative hearings. In addition, I encourage these groups to continue to focus their efforts to introduce more youth, women, and first-time adult sportsmen to the outdoors.
As far as industry is concerned, it is absolutely critical that they continue to communicate to both legislators and the public the immense economic contribution that hunting and fishing make to the state. Over 700,000 people hunt and fish in Oregon each year, supporting almost 15,000 Oregon jobs and generating $929 million in economic activity, along with $100 million in state and local tax revenues; these are huge numbers! We absolutely cannot afford further erosion of our hunting and fishing traditions; if so, we risk significant losses in both funding for wildlife management and critical revenue for our rural economies.
On a federal level, seeing Congress finally pass a comprehensive sportsmen's act this year would be a huge win for sportsmen and women all across the country. I know it's come close in past years only to get hung up down the line, so I'd love to see that finally get done."
All across the US, states and organizations are exploring ways to help support hunting and fishing. A recent Responsive Management study, for example, reports over 400 hunter retention and recruitment programs nation-wide. (http://www.nwtf.org/conservation/R&R_Evaluation_Report.pdf>Report)
Reaching the general public is another goal that deserves more attention. One program in Colorado stands out as a strategy that deserves consideration
In the late 1990s a coalition of hunters, anglers and conservationists working with livestock and agriculture organizations created The Colorado Wildlife Council to design and administer a media-based public information program to educate people about the benefits of wildlife, wildlife management, and wildlife-related recreational opportunities in Colorado, specifically hunting and fishing. Funding comes from a surcharge of 75 cents per hunting and fishing license, which can amount to $850,000 to $950,000 per year. That budget is administered by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Agency.
Initially. the Council created some ads in newspapers and billboards. In 2005, they began running TV commercials; in 2010, working with Pilgrim Advertising,http://www.cctadvertising.com/ a series of focus groups were held around the state to come up with some new, creative commercials that would have measurable positive results.
The Council and Pilgrim tested 20 benefit statements. Some, including pictures of families carrying guns, were turn-offs; but families going fishing was okay. Messages about the safety of hunting and hunters as good citizens were met by skepticism; and hunters protecting communities from wild animal attacks got little sympathy. Hunting for food, incidentally, ranked 16 of 20 benefits to the non-sportsman audience. Hunter safety, didn't move the non-sportsman.
The most effective appeals? The positive economic impact of hunting and fishing to the state (about the same as the ski industry), hunting and fishing license sales and excises taxes on equipment paying for all wildlife management, and the 21,000 jobs in small towns across the state generated by hunting and fishing.
The Council wanted a storyline that appealed to the non-sportsman. The first two commercials had non-hunters and non-fishermen showing their appreciation for hunters and fishermen supporting wildlife conservation by approaching them in the field and hugging them.
The Council surveys found the level of support grew- by about 30%. Those commercials have since evolved. New ones show people in service roles dressed as hunters and anglers getting hugs, while the voice-over narration describes how hunting and fishing help the economy. Check out the wildlife Council's websitehttp://hugahunter.com/ to see the current commercials.
What works in Colorado may not work elsewhere, but the the future of hunting and fishing will be determined by hunters and fishermen and the general public . Their understanding and appreciating the importance of outdoor sportsmen and women to conservation is essential.

Johnson opens door for his exit
Ken RosenthalTHE BALTIMORE SUN
Well, Davey Johnson is no dummy.
He thinks he'll get fired if the Orioles don't make it to the World Series, and he's absolutely right.
Johnson nearly got fired last season when the Orioles didn't make it to the World Series. The New York Mets fired him. The Cincinnati Reds fired him. And Orioles owner Peter Angelos probably is just waiting for his chance.
Knowing all that, why would Johnson even entertain a question regarding his job security at this critical point of the season? And why would he give Angelos such a blatant opening?
It's almost as if he has a death wish.
Johnson is media savvy from his days in New York. He understands the implications of everything he says. Perhaps he wants to shift attention to Angelos. Perhaps he feels that his relationship with the owner is so rocky, he has nothing to lose.
If the manager could just lay low, he would receive immense sympathy after his inevitable dismissal. But Johnson can't lay low. He's shrewd and manipulative. A good manager, but not necessarily a good employee.
Oh, we could go on and on about Johnson, his history of self-destruction, his unusually stiff $10,500 fine to Roberto Alomar, his tendency to irritate certain segments of his front office when he describes the shortcomings of his roster.
But that would be missing the point.
Only under an owner like Angelos would a manager talk about getting fired when he has the best record in the league, when he has been in first place all season.
Directly or not, Johnson is feeling the heat. And by declining to comment, Angelos didn't exactly give him a vote of confidence.
Here's what Johnson should have said:
"This is my dream job. I signed for three years and I want to stay three years. If we play the way we're capable of playing, everything will take care of itself."
And here's how Angelos should have responded:
"Davey is signed through 1998, and I expect him to remain the manager through 1998. Our focus is on winning the World Series, and nothing else."
Really, is this so difficult?
Uh, ask Phil Regan.
Or Johnny Oates.
A new manager next season would be the Orioles' fourth in five years. That's a Stein brenner-esque pace, and none of Angelos' foils ever resembled Billy Martin.
Still, it's always something.
Oates was too meek, but Johnson is too cocksure. Regan was somewhere in between, but what did it matter? He wasn't a very good manager.
Now here's Johnson, whom Angelos bypassed for Regan, then hired to replace Regan, then almost fired after reaching the postseason for the first time in 13 years.
You figure it out.
Maybe if there's life on Mars, Angelos can find a manager who will make him happy.
Johnson is the winningest active manager in the majors. He's working on his three straight postseason appearance. He's the Orioles' best strategist since Earl Weaver.
And yet, he's talking about getting fired.
Johnson's second season has gone much smoother than his first, when he feuded with Bobby Bonilla, tried moving Cal Ripken to third base and angered Angelos by publicly criticizing players.
He learned. He adjusted.
Consider his handling of Ripken.
If ever there was a season for a manager to end Ripken's consecutive-games streak, this was it. Ripken is nearing his 37th birthday. He has hit only one home run since June 4. He occasionally suffers back spasms.
But Johnson has never broached the subject, not even when Ripken's back appeared to be bothering him. Johnson didn't need the trouble. The Orioles didn't need the distraction.
On the field? Johnson is a much better manager now that he knows the league. He handles his pitchers deftly, runs a game skillfully. And, let's not forget, he was the lone advocate in the organization for Jeffrey Hammonds.
So, what gives?
Well, Johnson probably didn't help himself when he fined Alomar so heavily for skipping the Orioles' trip to Rochester, N.Y. He issued the fine without consulting his superiors. Not a good idea, considering Angelos regards Alomar almost like a son.
And, just as Johnson upset Angelos last season by suggesting the Orioles reduce their payroll, some club officials were bothered when he recently spoke out about the team's needs, implying that he needed more talent.
That's baseball -- the manager always thinks he needs better players, and the front office always thinks he can get more out of what he has. But under a win-now mandate, it's every man for himself, heightening the tension.
Johnson wouldn't suffer if he got fired; he could sit out a year and collect his salary, and soon enough, another team would come calling. Maybe he knows it's over. Maybe a part of him wants out.
Only one thing is certain:
Peter Angelos doesn't need an invitation to fire his manager.

Imperial, MRC and Affymetrix Collaborate to Speed-up Therapy Development
News Dec 15, 2005
An alliance dedicated to understanding the genetic basis of disease has been announced between Imperial College London, the Medical Research Council (MRC) and biotech company Affymetrix.
The agreement will expand use of Affymetrixs microarray technology by Imperial and the MRC to target conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer by analysing the genetic variations associated with them.
Researchers hope this detailed understanding of how disease is caused at a molecular level will speed up translation from the laboratory to clinical trials, ultimately leading to new therapies.
The alliance will enlarge the activities of the existing Microarray Centre, set up by the MRCs Clinical Sciences Centre and Imperial in 2000, to improve its facilities for research and clinical trials.
Building on its current activities, the alliance will enable the partners to undertake the larger research programmes needed to produce medical applications from their understanding of the human genome.
This enlarged Centre, coupled with related initiatives at the College, will offer a complete package of knowledge-led clinical trial statistics, profiling informatics and data management.
This sophisticated use of profiling allows clinical trials to be designed around clear biological knowledge from the start.
Professor Stephen Smith, Principal of the Faculty of Medicine at Imperial says, "It is becoming increasingly clear that understanding the relationship between genes and human health is the key to future medical breakthroughs."
"This research alliance will enable us and our partners to combine our expertise to gain a much better understanding of a number of health problems and develop new treatments to tackle them."
Professor Chris Higgins, Director of the Clinical Sciences Centre, adds, "This new alliance with Affymetrix will greatly enhance our ability to undertake research into the genetics of major diseases and will ultimately lead to improvements in diagnosis and treatment."
Gareth Thomson, senior marketing manager at Affymetrix, says, "Affymetrix is engaged with many leading research organisations, such as Imperial College London and the Medical Research Council, to help classify, manage and treat complex diseases."
"Scientists around the world are using our GeneChip technology to accelerate the development of new diagnosis, therapy and monitoring tools, which will ultimately enable a personalised medicine approach to treatment."
Rearranging Chromosomes – Does It Affect Their Function?
Molecular biologists long thought that domains in the genome's 3D organization control how genes are expressed. After studying highly rearranged chromosomes in fruit flies, researchers now reveal that while this is the case for some genes, their results challenge the generality of this for many others.
Gaining Insight Into Sun-induced DNA Damage and Cell Repair
A team has published a breakthrough article that provides a better understanding of the dynamic process by which sunlight-induced DNA damage is recognized by the molecular repair machinery in cells as needing repair.

Robert Troyer, the former U.S. Attorney for Colorado, will testify about S.54, tax and regulation of marijuana, Thursday morning in the House Government Operations Committee.
Now Colorado's youth use of marijuana is at a rate 85 percent higher than the national average.
Now marijuana-related traffic fatalities are up by 151 percent.
Now 70 percent of 400 licensed pot shops surveyed recommend that pregnant women use marijuana to treat morning sickness.
Now an indoor marijuana grow consumes 17 times more power per square foot than an average residence.
Now each of the approximately one million adult marijuana plants grown by licensed growers in Colorado consumes over 2.2 liters of water — per day.
Now Colorado has issued over 40 little-publicized recalls of retail marijuana laced with pesticides and mold.
And now Colorado has a booming black market exploiting our permissive regulatory system — including Mexican cartel growers for that black market who use nerve-agent pesticides that are contaminating Colorado's soil, waters, and wildlife…..Marijuana commercialization has led Colorado to these places.
Also scheduled to testify are Dr. Kim Blake, a Burlington-area physician and mother, and Winooski school district students interested in substance abuse prevention.
H.444, ranked choice voting, also will be discussed Thursday in House Government Operations. Josh Knox, a former independent candidate for Vermont Senate, will speak in favor. The bill, sponsored mostly by independents and Progressives, would allow voters to rank their choices. If no candidate wins 50 percent, the voters' second choice would be added until a candidate reaches 50 percent.
Ranked choice voting was tried briefly in Burlington, and gave the 2009 mayoral election to a Progressive, even though Republican Kurt Wright was the leading vote-getter and winner according to traditional voting practices. Burlington rescinded ranked-choice voting in 2010.

Cannabis stocks may be relighting in 2020
Read Time2 Minute, 37 Second
CNBC's Frank Holland reports on the cannabis comeback. With CNBC's Brian Sullivan and the Fast Money traders, Tim Seymour, Brian Kelly, Karen Finerman and Guy Adami.
"I think this is going to be a big year for cannabis ETFs," said Dave Nadig, managing director of ETF.com. "It's been a rough year for most of the cannabis investments, and I think that in 2020, we're going to see a continued push towards legalization around the world."
The ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (MJ), the market's largest cannabis ETF in terms of assets under management, has shed nearly 31% in value year to date as many of its underlying securities went through an industrywide reckoning related to longer-than-anticipated product rollouts and overly enthusiastic forward estimates. Rival marijuana ETFs launched earlier this year have shared in the pain.
"The companies that are in these funds right now, I think, are going to get overpriced very quickly and we're going to see a lot more companies come to play," Nadig said.
Tim Seymour, who is founder and chief investment officer of Seymour Asset Management and runs the Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF (CNBS), advised investors to take their time if they're considering buying into the downtrodden group.
"As a guy who runs a cannabis ETF … my view is that the size of the addressable market has grown," Seymour said shortly after returning from the MJBizCon cannabis business conference in Las Vegas.
"You're starting to see separation of the performers and the nonperformers. You're starting to see capital markets dynamics come to work," Seymour said. "So, there's no question about the efficacy [or] what's happening in the sector. The question is are these companies, right now, you can invest in?"

The beach scene in Rio de Janeiro is awesome. Lots of activity. Never a dull moment. People playing sports, enjoying the surf, and lots of people selling things.
My parents are visiting us in Rio de Janeiro this week. Last Saturday, we decided to go on a quick 2 hour boat excursion. The trip begins in Marina de Gloria, and then proceeds toward the other side of the bay to Niteroi. Once we hit Niteroi, we head north to the huge bridge of Niteroi, and then we head on back. It was a very cloudy day which is always a challenge when taking photos.
Shortly after getting married in 2006, I decided to purchase a car here in Rio de Janeiro. We bought a brand new Chevy Astra for about R$48,000. At the time, that was about $20,000. Still today, it is perhaps one of the most popular cars in all of Brazil. Our Astra included leather seats, a 2.0 liter engine, and an MP3 player. Also, I could not live without the rear sensor which lets me know when I am near something when in reverse. After 5 years, we only have about 15,000 kilometers on the car (10,000 miles), but it still has been a great investment.
By and large, we do not drive in Rio de Janeiro. The main reason is that you should not take out the car unless you feel comfortable that you will be able to park the car. For example, a popular weekend activity is going to the beach, however, I would never take my car because you could literally spend 1-2 hours just looking for a parking space. There are however lots of stores and malls that have ample parking. There are many restaurants that have valet parking. Some but not all of the valet parking is free.
This is not as easy as it sounds because by and large no one else is obeying the rules. It is clear to me that the there is really no traffic police on patrol and so it is basically a free for all. On my street, Epitacio Pessoa, there is a very hairy place when leaving Copacabana, where suddenly 4 lanes are condensed to 2 lanes. If there is traffic, then it slows to a halt as every one vies to get a car length on the other cars. Worse yet, this happens near a gas station, and it is not uncommon to see people zipping through the gas station, to gain an edge on the other side. I always obey the rules. For example, if there is bumper to bumper traffic, and there is an ambulance behind you, then get out of the way and let them pass.
Rio de Janeiro is one of the most complex cities in the world. Worse yet, many of the streets are not very well marked. Now with the internet, spend a good amount of time studying the maps to understand how the road system is put together. One good way to get to know the city is to just drive around on the weekend where there is less traffic and you are not as rushed. It is such a big place.
It is normally a 45 minute drive from where I live to Recreio. One afternoon, it took close to 3 hours. You don't know when it will hit you or where, but sometimes you can get stuck in traffic for hours, literally. Sometimes the traffic patterns are predictable. Fridays are the worst day to drive because many people leave Rio de Janeiro. Same goes for the day before a holiday weekend, and there are a lot of holidays here in Brazil.
There are a lot of buses in Rio de Janeiro and the people that drive them are all training for NASCAR. Buses are a lot bigger than cars and they know it. There is definitely a pecking order and buses are on top. If you see a bus, you should assume that they will not see you and cut you off. Pass buses with caution.
On the other end of the pecking order are the motorcycles and scooters. They are everywhere and they follow no rules. If there is a tiny space or crack in traffic, they will try to drive through it and some times at high speed. They are hard to spot in a rear view mirror. The one thing that I have learned is that scooters and motorcycles can stop much faster than a car. It is well documented but each day, 4-5 motorcycle drivers die. All I can say is that I am higher up in the pecking order. One note for pedestrians. When crossing the street and the traffic is all stopped, beware of the bikes that are darting between the cars trying to get ahead.
If you look from the outside, it seems like a daunting tax. With all the traffic, horns honking, buses cutting you off, and motorcycles darting in and out, it might drive you insane. The one by product of all this and no one obeying the rules, is that traffic moves slowly. You don't need to have lightening reflexes nor be nervous. Most things are happening to you like in a slow motion movie. Most of the time when driving in Rio, I am driving around 50 km/hour (30 miles/hour), which by American standards is not very fast.
By law, all cars accept both gasoline and alcohol. We always use alcohol. It is cheaper, better for the environment, and made by sugar cane in Brazil.


With the ISTE show a few days away, Futuresource will be scouting the show floor for the latest news and product releases from immersive technology providers. This is what we expect to see.
The early progress of Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in the consumer market has been moderate at best and poor, in many eyes. Large technology companies that have made significant investments in head mounted display (HMD) hardware are now partnering with vertical specific providers in B2B market verticals, funding initiatives to promote the use case and adoption of headsets.
Google is working with hundreds of content partners and has produced over 600 free to access 'VR' Expeditions. As part of its pioneer program, over 2 million students globally have taken a headset based expedition in a classroom setting and education ICT resellers in the US and beyond have started selling 'Expeditions Kits' to schools. Expanding the Expeditions platform, Google recently announced AR Expeditions allowing students to overlay the real world with virtual objects on their mobile devices.
Microsoft has been working closely with Pearson amongst other companies, to develop content for its HoloLens AR headset. Solutions trialled to date focus largely on STEM subjects with medical sciences expected to be an early front runner for adoption. While high costs mean large scale deployments of AR headsets to K-12 education, it will likely be many years off before we can expect the technology to draw significant attention on the show floor.
The majority of OEM's selling PC devices to schools have now launched VR headsets and are expected to demo these wares at the show. With price competition in the bottom end of the PC market accelerating, we can expect to see major PC OEM's and channel partners bundling VR headsets with large deployments of PC products as a value add to secure district roll outs.
'Marker' technologies have accounted for a growing proportion of EdTech show floors in recent years, with robotics a leading category in the space. Notable providers including Wonder Workshops, Sphero, Lego Education & Vex Robotics will inhabit significant booth space at this year's Expo. Sales of robotics and coding solutions have the potential to grow rapidly on the back of global demand for STEM based learning but the market is currently underdeveloped. The 'Coding Bots' segment is a relatively new segment to the robotics market, with providers typically targeting elementary school children. These entry level, all-in-one, solutions like Dash & Dot and Sphero are providing a simple play based solution, targeting younger grades than the more complex 'build orientated' solutions from providers like Lego Education & Vex. Comparable to 3D printing, while there are some great applications for these technologies, the market is saturated with small players struggling to achieve scale. The commercial reality of the market today is that where schools are investing in the technology they are typically only purchasing a small number of robots, often to support extracurricular activities. Large deployments at a district level are rare. The requirement to demo these products is high, with the benefits of these hands-on learning technologies not immediately obvious to all. For providers, the challenge therefore is how to scale these innovative solutions when schools are unlikely to buy in bulk, but products require demonstration.
The First Signs of VPA Technology in Classrooms?
Virtual Personal Assistant (VPA) technologies have been mainstream for over five years, with smart phone manufacturers integrating virtual assistants into their products since early in the decade. Making the jump from the mobile device to the home, major technology providers like Amazon & Google are now offering speakers with these assistants integrated, other devices are expected to follow. VPA's have the potential to become the primary interface for consumer electronic devices. Will ISTE set the stage for manufacturers to position these solutions for education environments? In the classroom, VPA enabled speakers could be used to answer questions, control AV and other connected equipment, act as a school intercom and in time, a range of applications will expand the group led exercise and instruction capacity of these platforms.
While the applications for virtual assistant technologies are numerous, there are significant challenges when bringing these solutions into the classroom. Questions around privacy, security, content restrictions and classroom management will likely inhibit market adoption in the short term. Longer term, the potential for virtual assistant adoption in the classroom is significant. Further, these platforms have the potential to compliment robotic tutors now being integrated into adaptive learning platforms. Where these adaptive platforms are typically designed to service the individual, the initial use case of classroom VPA's will likely be to service the group. Will we see cross over of use case and data sharing between the two, will the individual and group virtual assistant merge into a single coherent interface for student interaction? Will the virtual assistant I interface with at home also be my aide in the classroom? These questions are a long way from being answered. Perhaps ISTE's Expo floor will help shape our thinking on these questions going forwards.

Q: ng build angular 2 project with proxy configuration replaced Based on suggestion in http://www.meekdeveloper.com/angular-cli-asp-net-core-windows-authentication/, I have used proxy config to call ASP.NET Web API from Angular 2
ng serve --proxy-config src/proxy.config.js

proxy config is as follow:
    const Agent = require('agentkeepalive');

module.exports = {
        '/api': {
            target: 'http://localhost/ApplicationApi/',
            secure: false,
            agent: new Agent({
                maxSockets: 100,
                keepAlive: true,
                maxFreeSockets: 10,
                keepAliveMsecs: 100000,
                timeout: 6000000,
                keepAliveTimeout: 90000
            }),
            onProxyRes: proxyRes => {
                let key = 'www-authenticate';
                proxyRes.headers[key] = proxyRes.headers[key] &&
                    proxyRes.headers[key].split(',');
            }
        }
};

It is working for development fine but there is no proxy config parameter for ng-build.
I want to deploy the app into IIS, how can keep URL prefix (http://localhost/ApplicationApi/) without changing the source code?

Pregnancy of twins or twins
Upon receiving medical confirmation that the pregnancy comes twice, many parents wonder if they will be Twins or Twins. In principle, the news is always a surprise that opens windows of doubts regarding pregnancy, the special care that must be taken into account, the economic expenses that were not expected, and a lot of challenges to face.
There are several reasons why a woman conceives more than one baby:
1. Age. From the age of 30, the chances of multiple pregnancy increase. A third of these pregnancies belong to women who are waiting to have children after the age of 30. As time passes, a woman produces more hormones that stimulate ovulation, causing her ovaries to release more eggs each month.
2. Medications that stimulate fertility. Hormonal treatments to increase egg production in a cycle predispose to multiple fertilization.
3. Assisted reproductive techniques, such as fertilization in vitro (IVF), use transfers of two to three embryos in the uterus, to have a better chance of successful fertilization.
4. Inheritance. A woman is also more likely to conceive more than one baby, if she has a personal or family history of the birth of twins or twins.
5. Multiparous. After several previous deliveries, the possibility of a multiple pregnancy is increased.
An ultrasound during the first trimester of pregnancy will reveal the number of embryos you carry in the uterus. Although if you became pregnant after receiving fertility treatment such as fertilization in vitro, you will most likely have an ultrasound scan during the first eight weeks to count the number of embryos.
Ultrasound scans are almost foolproof when it comes to revealing multiple pregnancies, especially from the sixth or eighth week of pregnancy. If you have not undergone any fertility treatment, your gynecologist may suspect that you are expecting more than one baby when your weight gain is considerably faster than expected in the first few months, or if you have severe nausea and vomiting. Ultrasound is also helpful in determining how long you've actually been pregnant.
They can be the same and of the same sex or look like siblings and be of the same or different sex. But, both in the case of being twins and twins, the children will be united by a very significant fact, they developed and were born together. Based on their formation, babies that grow together in the same pregnancy can be:
1. Twins. They are really identical. The pregnancy is known as monozygotic or univitelline pregnancy. It occurs when a single egg is fertilized with a sperm and forms a zygote that later divides into two, developing two fetuses. Depending on the moment of division, that is, if it occurs between the first and fourth day after fertilization, each fetus would have its placenta and its own amniotic sac, but if the division occurs between the fourth and eighth day (in 75 percent hundred of cases), each fetus will have its own pouch, but they will share the placenta.
In the case of twins, each one develops independently, but being made up of the same egg and the same sperm, share the same genetic makeup and they are physically almost identical. Statistics reveal that twins account for 30 percent of double pregnancies.
2. Twins. The pregnancy of twins, also called bizygotic or bivitelline, is produced by the fertilization of two eggs and two sperm, resulting in two different embryos that coincide in time and that they may be of the same sex or not. Their resemblance will be like that of two siblings who were born in different births, they occur in 70 percent of multiple pregnancy cases and are also known as fraternal twins. In twin pregnancy, each fetus develops with its own amniotic sac and placenta.

COVID-19 live updates: Michigan hospital officials warn of strained health system

HomeNational NewsCOVID-19 live updates: Michigan hospital officials warn of strained health system
(NEW YORK) — As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe, more than 5.1 million people have died from the disease worldwide, including over 772,000 Americans, according to real-time data compiled by Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
Just 59.2% of the population in the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Here's how the new is developing. All times Eastern:

Michigan hospital officials warn of strained health system
The Michigan Hospital Association is warning of strained health systems as COVID-19 surges across the state.
Michigan is fast approaching its highest number of COVID-19 hospitalizations since the pandemic began, with more than 3,900 patients currently receiving care, according to state data. The vast majority of patients in the ICU and on ventilators are unvaccinated.
"Most hospitals throughout the state have more patients in their emergency departments than they do available rooms and staff to care for them," officials wrote in a statement on Monday. "This results in long wait times, patients being placed in hallways or conference rooms, and diverting patients away from a hospital because there is no physical room or medical staff available to accept more patients."
"We are extremely concerned because our best predictions are that COVID-19 patients will continue to increase during the weeks ahead as we enter the yearly flu season," they said.

US sees another increase in pediatric cases
The U.S. has reported an increase in pediatric COVID-19 cases for the third week in a row.
Nearly 142,000 children tested positive in the last week, which is a 16% increase from the week prior and a 41% jump over the last three weeks, according to a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association.
Nearly 6.8 million children have tested positive for COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
COVID-19 cases among children remain "extremely high," the organizations said, and there have been almost 1.7 million additional cases since the first week of September.
The Midwest continues to see the highest number of pediatric cases.
Severe illness due to COVID-19 remains "uncommon" among children, AAP and CHA said. However, AAP and CHA continue to warn that there is an urgent need to collect more data on the long-term consequences of the pandemic on children, "including ways the virus may harm the long-term physical health of infected children, as well as its emotional and mental health effects."
Nov 22, 12:44 pm
Hospital admissions on the rise
Daily COVID-19-related hospital admissions are on the rise in the U.S., up 8.4% in the last week, according to federal data.
Nineteen states reported at least a 10% jump in hospital admissions over the last week: Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Michigan, which is now reporting more cases than at any other point in the pandemic, has the nation's highest infection rate, followed by Minnesota, New Mexico, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Maine.
Puerto Rico, Florida and Hawaii have the nation's lowest infection rates, according to federal data.

TSA vaccine mandate won't impact holiday travel
About 93% of TSA employees are in compliance with Monday's deadline for the federal employee vaccine mandate, TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein said.
"In compliance" means employees have had at least one shot or have filed for a medical or religious exemption.
Holiday travel won't be impacted by the mandate, Farbstein said.

Bring Worldcon to Orlando in 2015!
Every year the World Science Fiction Society (WSFS) holds a World Science Fiction Convention (or WorldCon). 2015 will be the year of the 73rd annual WorldCon. This convention has been going on since 1939, except for a brief hiatus during World War II, but that put a lot of things on hiatus as I recall. Every year since 1955 the membership of WorldCon have selected the winners of the Hugo Awards, which if you're into Science Fiction you'll recognize as the awards for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements during the year.
Every year at WorldCon the membership selects where the WorldCon will be in two years. As this is 2013 they will be choosing where the location will be in 2015 and we are backing the bid to bring WorldCon back to Orlando, Florida on Labor Day Weekend (September 2-6).
The choice is obvious when you consider the proposed venue is Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. With over 1,920 hotel rooms and more than 225,000 square feet of flexible function and exhibit space, it is one of the largest single-level facilities on the U.S. East Coast. With a facility this big it will allow Worldcon to be housed in one hotel and eliminate splitting up programming around multiple hotels and venues. Few locations can offer such a deal.
And speaking of deals, the contracted room rate is $139/night, single-quad. And since this is a Disney location, you know your going to be treated first class. They offer free ground transportation and luggage service from the Orlando airport to all of their resorts. Plus, there's free parking at Coronado Springs Resort, whether you stay there or not. If you do stay there, mini-fridges in all the rooms means you can load up on the con-snacks. But my favorite service is the free wi-fi that's available throughout the function space and sleeping rooms.
If Orlando wins the bid to host Worldcon in 2015 they will be working their programming around the theme, "Science Fiction is Bigger Than You Think!", which will showcase how the breadth and scope of today's science fiction has spread beyond its humble beginnings. Admittance to the exhibit hall will be FREE, thus increasing traffic for the Dealers, Artists, Artist Alley, fan groups and the wonderful Worldcon history exhibits.
For more information go check out their website, OrlandoIn2015, like their Facebook page and spread the word about getting Worldcon to Orlando in 2015.

Following controversy over Nike's new "Just Do It" ad with Colin Kaepernick, the brand doubled down on Wednesday by debuting a new TV ad with the former 49ers quarterback. Kaepernick narrates the empowering video, which Deadline reports will air during Thursday's NFL season opener.
The commercial is titled "Dream Crazy," and features footage of various inspiring athletes, as Kaepernick describes how far they've come to achieve greatness. That includes Alphonso Davies, a 17-year-old Canadian soccer player who was born in a refugee camp in Ghana, as well as one-handed football player Shaquem Griffin, who was signed by the Seattle Seahawks earlier this year.
The video also highlights NBA star LeBron James' charity work, as Kaepernick says, "Don't become the greatest basketball player on the planet. Be bigger than basketball." And of course, the video wouldn't be complete without an appearance from tennis legend Serena Williams, "a girl from Compton" who became "the greatest athlete ever."
Part of the way through the video, Kaepernick reveals himself, repeating the tagline which appeared on his print ad earlier this week: "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything." He appears again at the end of the clip, to tell viewers, "Don't ask if your dreams are crazy. Ask if they're crazy enough."

Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, wears a "Fire Pelosi" hat as he speaks Wednesday morning at a rally in support of President Donald Trump called the "Save America Rally." [JACQUELYN MARTIN/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]
Brooks calls for physical action at rally of Trump supporters
By Caroline Beck, Mary Sell and Todd Stacy Alabama Daily News
Congressman Mo Brooks told a rally of President Donald Trump's supporters several hours before the U.S. Capitol was overrun Wednesday that the time had arrived for physical action.
"Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass," Brooks, a Huntsville Republican, said during a morning rally on the National Mall.
A video of the comment posted on Twitter showed Brooks wearing a red baseball cap with "Fire Pelosi" embroidered on its front in reference to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat. Associated Press photos show he also wore a camouflage hat during his speech.
Brooks and other members of Alabama's congressional delegation were safe and accounted for after the Capitol chaos. Several congressmen made statements and documented their experiences via social media.
After the Capitol was breached, Brooks tweeted several times from the House floor as Capitol Police locked the building down and evacuated lawmakers and staff.
"Tear gas dispersed in Capitol Rotunda. Congressmen ordered to grab gas masks under chairs in case have to leave in haste!" he tweeted.
After order had been restored, Brooks said he hoped everyone who illegally breached the Capitol is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, noting that he himself had been shot at when a gunman opened fire at a congressional baseball game practice in 2015.
"Senseless," he said. "Achieves nothing productive."
Republican Richard Shelby, Alabama's senior senator and one of the highest ranking lawmakers in Congress, called it "a very dark day" for the country.
"I am safe thanks to the protection and swift action by our law enforcement officials," Shelby said Wednesday afternoon on Twitter. "Our Founding Fathers warned against mob rule. Law and order must be established and maintained."
Shelby was the only Republican in Alabama's congressional delegation not to support challenging Electoral College votes from certain states lost by Trump in November.
Brooks, whose U.S. House district includes Morgan and Limestone counties, led those efforts in recent weeks.
Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Selma, was initially locked inside the House Chamber during the breach.
"Praying that this chaos dissipates and no one gets hurt," she said. "… I am sheltering in a safe location and praying for the safety of our nation, members of Congress, congressional staff, law enforcement, and Capitol Hill residents."
Rep. Jerry Carl, a Republican from Mobile in his first week as a U.S. congressman, said Americans have the right to protest, but violence is never the answer.
"I'm praying for the safety of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and the law enforcement protecting us," Carl said on Twitter.
Rep. Barry Moore, R-Enterprise, said in a statement that he condemns the violence at the Capitol.
"Lawlessness and anarchy are never the answer," Moore said. "We are — and always will be — a nation of law and order. While I support Americans' First Amendment rights, I strongly condemn any and all violence and fully support our brave Capitol Police and LEOs."
Moore had made comments contesting the results of the presidential election and was planning to vote against certifying the vote on Wednesday.
Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Haleyville, asked for prayers for the country on Twitter.
"God has brought this nation through many dark days over the past 240 plus years," Aderholt said. "We have always been able to settle our disputes peaceably. I believe He will continue to guide and protect this nation. However, as a nation we need to seek His guidance in peace. He is in full control!"
Staff members for U.S. Reps. Gary Palmer, R-Birmingham, and Mike Rogers, R-Saks, confirmed that the congressmen were safe and all staff were accounted for, but had no further comment as of press time.
Efforts to get a response from newly-elected Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Auburn, were unsuccessful.
State Rep. Chris England, chairman of the Alabama Democratic Party, blamed the riot on Trump and his supporters in Congress, including the Alabama delegation.
"Today, during a joint session of Congress to fulfill the legal obligation to count the votes of the Electoral College, a violent mob stormed the U.S. Capitol building. This mob was encouraged by President Donald Trump, Rep. Mo Brooks, and others at a rally before they breached the doors of the Capitol. They disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, broke the law, and must be prosecuted for their sedition," England said in a statement.
Alabama Republican Party Chair Terry Lathan said Wednesday her party strongly condemns any violence and unlawful actions.

SC quashes Madras HC direction on EWS quota in NEET AIQ
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday set aside Madras High Court's observations that reservation for economically weaker sections (EWS) in the NEET-All India Quota (AIQ) medical seats can be implemented only with the approval of the top court's Constitution bench.
A bench of Justices D.Y. Chandrachud and B.V. Nagarathna observed that the High Court had made "unnecessary observations". It noted that the High Court was examining a contempt petition, which sought implementation of OBC reservation in NEET-AIQ, therefore observations on 10 percent EWS quota was a transgression of its jurisdiction.
The Union government had moved the top court challenging the observations made by the Madras High Court. Additional Solicitor General K.M. Nataraj, representing the Union government, contended that the high court should not have made the observation, while it was exercising its contempt jurisdiction.
The top court noted that after the High Court found no contempt, it has gone into a wider spectrum. "There the high court has erred... when you are in contempt jurisdiction, you just need to see if the order has complied or not," it said.
The High Court, through its August judgment, had dropped a contempt of court plea filed by the ruling DMK against Centre on implementing reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in AIQ medical college seats.
On Friday, DMK's counsel submitted that the issue is "complicated", and the Centre's plea could be heard with other petitions challenging the EWS/OBC quota in the NEET-AIQ.
The High Court had observed: "The additional reservation provided for economically weaker sections in the notification of July 29, 2021, cannot be permitted, except with the approval of the Supreme Court in such regard." It had noted that the Constitution bench is examining the correctness of the 103rd Constitutional Amendment, which provided reservation. Centre had moved the top court aggrieved with this observation.
The Supreme Court, however, clarified it is not saying anything on the merits of the EWS quota in NEET-AIQ, and it is only setting aside the High Court's observation, as it transgressed the limits of contempt jurisdiction.
"We are not expressing an opinion on the merits of the case since the points will arise in a bunch of petitions pending adjudication," the bench noted.
The top court will continue to hear, on October 7, the petitions challenging the Centre's notification to implement OBC and EWS quota in NEET-AIQ.

DC-3 Tabitha May
The Saga of Clipper Tabitha May
By Robert S. Randazzo
Robert Randazzo is a former airline pilot, aviation enthusiast, and entrepreneur, and he's always held Pan American Airways in a place of special esteem. He and a small group of colleagues are about to embark on a remarkable trip into history onboard Clipper Tabitha May, a fully restored DC-3, flying in 1940's Pan Am livery. They will be part of two very important commemorations: D-Day's 75th anniversary, and that of the 70th commemoration of the Berlin Airlift. Photos Courtesy of Robert Randazzo.
Here at PanAm.org we'll be following their progress on their website flight tracker: http://www.clippertabithamay.com - And you can too!
In 2009, I had an opportunity to fly a meticulously restored DC-3 owned by Clay Lacey. His airplane is fitted out in the post-war colors of United Airlines. It was a rare opportunity to fly such a legendary airplane and since we are both formerly UAL employees Clay opened up about his love for the DC-3 and allowed me to experience the beauty that is flying one. His enthusiasm proved to be infectious and shortly thereafter I began what would become a two-year search for a DC-3 suitable for my own vision.
In any restoration project, whether it is a house, a vintage automobile, an old tractor or an airplane, beauty is often in the eye of the beholder. There are no guidebooks to acquiring and restoring an airplane of this category so I took the time to research the type and reached out to numerous experts to learn what pitfalls to avoid. Two years and many false-leads later, I had narrowed the search to three suitable airframes each selected because they were configured for passenger carrying operations, rather than having been stripped and converted to the far more popular freighter models that are more common.
The airplane I eventually selected, as it turned out, had been living at my local airfield for a number of years while it sat for sale by it's previous operator, ERA Alaska Airlines. I had seen the airplane many times. Marveled at it. Snuck up to it and caressed it's wings and propellers and landing gear. I had briefly considered buying it, but that was before it disappeared to Illinois with a broker who's job it was to find her a new home.
Clipper Tabitha May's Story
Built in late 1945, ship 34378 was delivered to the Army Air Corps and shuttled immediately to the desert for sale into private hands by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. She was converted into a VIP transport and purchased by the Columbia Broadcasting Service who operated her for many years in the low-utilization role of corporate transportation. She then flew for Outboard and Marine out of Oshkosh, WI before changing hands rapidly through a few operators with plans that never materialized. In the 1980s, at the ripe-old-age of 40, she was finally converted into a passenger airliner and operated out of Burbank, CA flying Japanese tourists over the Grand Canyon for a private tour company. She did a brief stint offering scenic rides with the Experimental Aircraft Association before she underwent a nose-to-tail restoration in preparation for being put into scheduled passenger service by ERA Alaska Airlines in the mid 1990s.

In this role she was provided with exceptional mechanical care and operated by highly seasoned and professional airline pilots until being retired in 2003 when FAA mandated the use of ballistic (bulletproof)cockpit doors on all scheduled air carriers. She sat for sale for eight years, largely unwanted because the modern market primarily values DC-3s that can be used to haul freight. Our airplane has no cargo door and it would be an expensive conversion to add one, so her value was primarily in private hands, doing what she does today.
Some Personal Intersections
Shortly before acquiring the airplane, I had begun to consider what to do with such a machine. While discussing with friends and accomplices, I would learn that my dear friend and mentor, a former PAA (UAL Ret.) pilot had been diagnosed with cancer. An idea was born.
Over the span of a few months, I reached out (against advice of legal counsel) to the current owner of the historic PAA brand marks to inquire about licensing the post-war markings for the specific purpose of displaying them on/with the airplane. I have always been a believing in doing things the right way, and I was happy to find that they were gracious, generous and could not have been more enthusiastic to learn what I was planning. Their primary concern in our agreement was to be certain I make a reasonable effort to protect the legacy of Pan American and the people who built the airline. We have worked hard to live up to that aspect of our agreement.
Contacts were made to help research appropriate paint colors, obtain font samples, original logo design specifications from PAA marketing, as well as marking data for PAA's DC-3s. Armed with a list of every DC-3 owned and operated by Pan American, I scoured the current FAA registration database to find out of any of the registration numbers were currently not assigned to airplanes but found only one that was available. N33611 had originally been applied to a PAA DC-3 that was lost in a takeoff accident (without loss of life) at Port of Spain in 1942. Not being overtly superstitious, I reserved the number and requested FAA permission to apply it to our airplane. It is worth noting here that at about this time, I began to question whether purchase and restoration of a DC-3 was a sound idea. During this moment of doubt, my wife and I purchased sight-unseen a large scale model of a DC-3 to hang in my office. When it arrived, I was stunned to find that the model was painted silver and had no markings at all, except one wing upon which was painted: NC33611.
Armed with this message from the universe, I stowed all doubt and continued onward.
Our DC-3 required a significant amount of work when she was acquired. Both engines were in very poor shape. She was beginning to show signs of weathering that had not yet lead to corrosion, but required a thorough restoration nonetheless. Nearly all of her major systems had to be removed and rebuilt. We suffered an engine failure while moving the airplane between restoration facilities, and thus decided to overhaul both engines and all of their associated accessories. To improve the safety of the airplane, we installed a suite of modern, GPS navigation devices, satellite weather receivers, traffic avoidance capability, terrain awareness and a few other goodies that pilots from the 1940s couldn't possibly have imagined.
And finally she was ready to be introduced to my dear friend and mentor, Captain Larry Hunsberger, PAA/UAL Ret.
Larry and I flew to Salt Lake City, then rented a car for the drive up to Ogden, UT where the paint shop resides. The entire crew knew we were coming and they all knew that Larry had been a friend and a mentor as I had sought to break into flying professionally. For more than two decades, his son Mark and I had been partners in crime. We pushed, pulled prodded and dragged one another through the gauntlet to professional flying all the while under the watchful eye of Larry. In fact, I would be remiss not to point out that my love of vintage airplanes is largely the fault of Mark and Larry, who convinced me that buying a 1945 SNJ-6 was "perfectly normal" and then subsequently failed to talk me out of buying a DC-3.

More Than Just an Airplane
To say that Larry's introduction to the world's newest Clipper was emotional, would be an understatement. A few moments after we arrived, I caught him in the back of the hangar with his head bowed against the rudder. We all left him alone. Gave him time to have his own private thoughts. After all, it had been fifty years since anyone had seen an airplane in new, post-war Pan American World Airways markings and faced with his own battle for survival, he was one of the first.
I have been asked a number of times why I chose this particular scheme for our airplane. After all, most of PAA's DC-3s remained in the drab bare metal with blue cheat lines. A few were repainted in post-war colors. Possibly four? Those same four were then painted in the more familiar modern markings for a brief period as well, but most of the fleet was retired before they had a chance to wear the stunning white and blue.
I chose to use these markings for many of the same reasons PAA chose them: The brilliant white and deep, charismatic navy blue are clean, striking even, when viewed in the bright sunlight of an airport ramp. In 1945 they represented confidence, hope for the post-war future and precision. We needed all of these things to bring our DC-3 through restoration. We needed them for Larry as well.

In July of 2013, we were approaching the end of the restoration process and the airplane had flown twice, just briefly. We still had pieces on the hangar floor and systems to test and tune. It became obvious that we were running out of time when one of Larry's sons called and asked "is there any way we can get him a flight?" I called our Director of Maintenance and explained that we had a mission to make. Larry needed to fly aboard a Pan Am airplane one more time, and time was not on our side. "Meet me in Ogden," was all he said.
The following morning, we departed Ogden and pointed the newly anointed Clipper Tabitha May westward over the Great Basin. She is named for my daughter who is bold, strong willed and incredibly giving of her own heart when others need it most. Her namesake Clipper lived up to these expectations perfectly that day in July. We arrived in Reno, loaded Cap'n Larry and his family (our family) aboard for a flight that was meaningful and all-too-brief. We stood for photos and everyone pretended for just a few moments that this was just another flight on an airplane. Larry seemed particularly pleased, but looking ahead to the adventures we were sure to have, I couldn't help but feel that we were being robbed of his participation. Flying a DC-3 all over the country is precisely the sort of thing an old pilot lives for, yet he was fading right before our eyes.
A few hours later, over birthday cake, I handed Cap'n Larry the logbook and tried to sound funny when I told him that he had forgotten to close out the log before leaving the airplane. "Oh, we can't have that," he said, grasping the pen and scrawling his name across the line labeled "Captain."
I still have that log page in my office. The carbon copy will remain forever with the airplane's records for as long as she continues to fly. I have signed the "Captain" line a few hundred times since that day in July and each time I am reminded that legends are not built by corporations, or brands or machines. They are built by people. Our connections to those people tell the stories that might otherwise be lost forever and few companies have contributed more to connecting people than Pan American World Airways.

I hope that our airplane will invigorate the pride of PAA employees the world over. After all, there is no practical reason to own a DC-3 except perhaps to give some folks a chance to reconnect to history that they helped to build. So stop by and see us at an airshow or at our hangar. You never know, we might just have a log page that needs to be signed.

Q: Upload one video and divide it into different qualities I want a html5 or any video player to divide the video quality into different qualities / resolutions similar to youtube.
I want to know, is there any way to upload one video quality, for example 1080px,
and have the player show other qualities 360px, 420px and so on.

A: What you are looking for is commonly referred to as Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP, aka: MPEG-DASH. Currently only MS Edge browser supports MPEG-DASH. However, you can polyfill with dash.js
Using the command line utility ffmpeg follow the instruction given by the Mozilla team on how to encode your video. Basically your will need to produce a audio, video variants and a manifest file.
Upload files to your server and simply insert a video tag in your html like this:
<video data-dashjs-player autoplay src="://path/manifest.mpd" controls>
</video>

A: You can do that but is not that straightforward. You need to upload the video to a server and then using a server side async job to encode it at different qualities/pixel-sizes. Then you need a video player that allow to switch through different files depending on parameters such as connection speed, device, or UI.
I suggest to check AWS Elastic Transcoder https://aws.amazon.com/elastictranscoder/?nc1=h_ls for a high end service (quite expensive) or FFMPEG https://www.ffmpeg.org/documentation.html if you want to do it by yourself.
