(116) The graphs below are good in helping to visualize how tiny human CO2 is compared to the rest of the gases in the atmosphere. CO2 is about 4% of the total atmospheric greenhouse. The rest consists almost entirely of water-vapour and that water-vapour is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. It becomes obvious that man-made global warming must be a very small quantity indeed.
(7131) No gas or vapor is capable of warming the Earth.
Water vapor has an even more profound moderating effect due to the heat of fusion since it is constantly changing states. During the day, any residual ice crystals or water droplets change to the vapor state, which uses lots of energy to keep the temperatures from increasing as much as they normally would without water. At night the opposite happens, water vapor condenses to liquid droplets and they in turn become ice crystals. This releases lots of energy and increases low temperatures more than they would be without water available. Consider the large temperature swings in a desert versus the extremely low temperature swings in a rain forest.
Greenhouse gasses have some effect, mainly be slightly reducing outgoing radiation at certain wavelengths.
WRONG. Nothing 'moderates' temperatures. Gases and vapors are not intelligent.
Convection does NOT reduce radiance of the Earth. You are ignoring the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
Water vapor has an even more profound moderating effect due to the heat of fusion since it is constantly changing states.
Water vapor is not constantly changing state.
WRONG. Otherwise you would not get rain or clouds.
which uses lots of energy to keep the temperatures from increasing as much as they normally would without water.
WRONG. Water is simply part of the mass of the atmosphere. It has a higher specific heat than anything else in the atmosphere, but that's all. That is not 'moderating' anything.
At night the opposite happens, water vapor condenses to liquid droplets and they in turn become ice crystals.
WRONG. Otherwise you would have no clear nights.
This releases lots of energy and increases low temperatures more than they would be without water available.
Again, water doesn't 'moderate' anything. It is not intelligent. It is simply part of the mass of the atmosphere.
Consider the large temperature swings in a desert versus the extremely low temperature swings in a rain forest.
I see large temperature swings in both.
mainly be slightly reducing outgoing radiation at certain wavelengths.
You are ignoring the Stefan-Boltzmann law again. You can't reduce radiance and increase the temperature at the same time. Neither radiance nor emissivity have a frequency term in the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
The graphs below are good in helping to visualize how tiny human CO2 is compared to the rest of the gases in the atmosphere. CO2 is about 4% of the total atmospheric greenhouse. The rest consists almost entirely of water-vapour and that water-vapour is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. It becomes obvious that man-made global warming must be a very small quantity indeed.
Whoever wrote this is either to lazy to look into what he is pontificating about or is just being dishonest for whatever reason.
What does 'moderating' have to do with intelligent?
Convection reduces surface temperatures which effectively reduces the radiance of the Earth. With no atmosphere, the only source of heat transfer is by radiation. With an atmosphere, heat transfer can also occur by convection. Convection transfers much of the heat to the atmosphere instead of straight into space. The resulting lower surface temperature significantly reduce the amount of radiation that escapes into space. This is perfectly in line with the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
Yes it is. Pure water vapor is gaseous H2O and is invisible to the naked eye. It will condense and form small water droplets which commonly manifests itself as clouds and sometimes rain. Water droplets can freeze and can also manifest as clouds and sometimes snow. The reverse can happen. For example, when you see clouds disappearing, it is because the water droplets are changing into water vapor. This is pretty basic stuff.
Please look up the terms 'Latent Heat', 'Heat of Fusion', and 'Heat of Vaporization'. These are typically orders of magnitude higher than simple 'sensible heat', which is related to 'specific heat'.
It's all related to humidity levels. On a clear night with high humidity you will see dew or frost.
Death Valley in June: Average high 110, average low 81. 29 degree delta.
Houston in June: Average high 91, average low 72. 19 degree delta. You will find that this trend is consistent.
I have often found common english words take up totally different meanings to what us mere mortals understand them to have when ITN is using them to support one of his arguments.
(17) CO2 levels have been known to warm the Earth for 200 years nearly, CO2 warming raises water vaper levels, warm air holds more water, are these not facts.
CO2 levels have been known to warm the Earth for 200 years nearly, CO2 warming raises water vaper levels, warm air holds more water, are these not facts.
And more water vapor forms more clouds, which cools the earth.
In reality, we don't know if the water vapor feedback will be positive or negative, but we do know that if water vapor gets high enough, it will form clouds. A runaway warming is very unlikely.
'Moderating' anything is an intelligent act. The atmosphere simply has mass. It takes time for it to warm up and cool down, like any mass.
Convection reduces surface temperatures which effectively reduces the radiance of the Earth.
Convection does not reduce surface temperatures. Convection only cools the air by dispersing energy over a wider area. The surface is cooled by conduction and by radiance.
With no atmosphere, the only source of heat transfer is by radiation.
The only type of heat that goes into space is radiance.
With an atmosphere, heat transfer can also occur by convection.
Convection does not go into space.
Convection transfers much of the heat to the atmosphere instead of straight into space. The resulting lower surface temperature significantly reduce the amount of radiation that escapes into space. This is perfectly in line with the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
WRONG. You are ignoring the Stefan-Boltzmann law! You are not considering the radiance of the atmosphere itself.
That can happen at any time of day, not just at night as you are arguing. It may not happen at any time of day. Liquid water is not water vapor.
Humidity itself is related to temperature, dude.
There is no 'trend' in temperature spread. Houston is cooler than Death Valley because it's higher in elevation than Death Valley. It tends to get more consistent temperatures from the Gulf as well. Land cools off and warms up faster than seawater does.
Houston has a generally wider temperature spread than Seattle, which has similar humidity, due to cloud cover blocking sunlight. We get a lot of stratus clouds here, you see, whereas Houston tends to get a lot of cumulus clouds instead.
I realize this particular theory is popular, but unfortunately, it has been falsified. All one needs is one exception. There are days in Death Valley where the temperature changes very little from day to night. There are days in Seattle where the temperature changes quite a lot, even though we have higher humidity than Death Valley.
Maybe you should actually learn the terminology and where words come from. I find etymology to be a fascinating hobby.
A fact is not a Universal Truth. Learn what a 'fact' is.
CO2 is incapable of warming the Earth. Poor ole' Arrhenius has been misquoted so many times by the Church of Global Warming, it tends to discard the contributions he DID make to science (and why we won a Nobel prize).
CO2 does not raise humidity.
No, these are not facts. These are arguments.
CO2 does not warm the Earth. It can't. More water vapor does not form clouds.
In reality, we don't know if the water vapor feedback will be positive or negative, but we do know that if water vapor gets high enough, it will form clouds.
More water vapor does not form clouds.
A runaway warming is very unlikely.
There is no feedback mechanism.
Into the Night wrote:'Moderating' anything is an intelligent act. The atmosphere simply has mass. It takes time for it to warm up and cool down, like any mass.
'Moderating' has multiple definitions. It is common for weather forecasters to look at humidity levels to help them in their predictions of temperatures. Higher humidity equates to lower highs and higher lows.
The surface is cooled by conduction, radiance, and convection. Radiance has very little impact on air temperatures. Convection heats the air during the day which cools the surface. Since the surface is cooler, it radiates much less to space (proportional to T^4). A good example of convection in nature is a dust devil. Somehow I think you are confusing conduction with convection. Conduction mainly occurs is solids. Convection occurs in fluids (liquids and gasses), where the portion of the fluid that is in contact with the hot surface rises and is replaced by a cooler fluid, which gets heated and again replaced.
True. That is why if the surface is cooled by the atmosphere, much less heat goes into space (again it is proportional to T^4).
True, it goes into the atmosphere.
I don't think you understand the Stefan-Boltzmann law. The atmosphere is mainly made of up N2 and O2. They are effectively invisible to nearly all of the electromagnetic spectrum that is of interest. They do not radiate heat to space. They are heated and cooled by convection or conduction. The trace amounts of H2O and CO2 can potentially heat or cool the N2 or O2 by collisions and then transfer that heat by radiance, but it would be negligible.
Relative humidity is related to temperature. A better way to think about humidity is dew point. The higher the dew point, the more moisture is in the air. If air temperature drops below the dew point, the water vapor will condense and form dew (or clouds) and that transition will release a lot of latent heat. That is why you have higher low temperatures when it is humid.
Of course there is variation due to weather conditions. Weather forecasters always take humidity into account when forecasting temperatures. Please take some time and study 'latent heat'. You clearly don't understand it.
....@Jeffvw, he's probably doing some extra bong hits and tokes to wrap his mind around this. He seems to prefer "Fuzzy Logic" which is a branch of science.
You might want to read your graphic again. That is 0.04% atmospheric CO2, not 4%. It has not been 4% atmospheric CO2 on this planet for more than 600 million years, thankfully. Otherwise we would be having serious problems right now. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) puts atmospheric CO2 at 3% before it starts causing health problems in humans, which would be 30,000 ppm. We are currently at ~407 ppm.
The pie chart shows the 1% atmospheric water vapor in comparison to the 0.04% CO2. The human CO2 contribution is a very tiny portion of that 0.04%.
Furthermore, there is absolutely no correlation between atmospheric CO2 and mean surface temperatures. We've had ice ages when atmospheric CO2 levels were 10 times higher than today, and we have had the hottest period on our planet in the last 600 million years when atmospheric CO2 levels were below what they are today.
Water vapor is responsible for 95% of all the radiative forcing, where atmospheric CO2 only contributes 3%.
You can also tell that this Climate Change alarmism is politically motivated. Water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas, but since that occurs through evaporation and is not controllable by government, it gets completely ignored. Instead the leftists use atmospheric CO2 as their vehicle to push their Marxist policies. You will note that the only solution they offer is an increase in the size and scope of government combined with massive increase in taxes for something that is barely measurable.
Furthermore, this is not the only time in history when we have experienced warming cycles. The hottest period yet recorded during the current Holocene Interglacial Period occurred 8,200 years ago and is known as the Holocene Maximum. Then there was the Minoan Warming Period 3,300 years ago, the Roman Warming Period 2100 years ago, and the Medieval Warming Period 800 years ago.
It should also be noted that during each of these warming periods humanity made great leaps forward in art and the sciences. Including the current warming period.
I said that CO2 was about 4% of the total atmospheric greenhouse. Not 4% of the total atmosphere, just 4% of the atmospheric greenhouse.
It is common for weather forecasters to look at humidity levels to help them in their predictions of temperatures. Higher humidity equates to lower highs and higher lows.
No, weather forecasters look at humidity to get some idea on the predicted cloud cover and precipitation chances.
The surface is cooled by conduction, radiance, and convection.
WRONG. The surface is cooled only by conduction and radiance. The surface is not a fluid.
Radiance has very little impact on air temperatures.
It has a lot of effect, dude. Gases have radiance, just as solids do.
Convection heats the air during the day which cools the surface.
WRONG. Conduction heats the air (and some radiance). Not convection.
Since the surface is cooler, it radiates much less to space (proportional to T^4).
It does. Instead the atmosphere radiates more to space.
A good example of convection in nature is a dust devil.
True. That is hot air rising. That is convection.
Somehow I think you are confusing conduction with convection.
No, it is YOU that is doing this. Inversion fallacy.
Conduction mainly occurs is solids.
Convection occurs in fluids (liquids and gasses), where the portion of the fluid that is in contact with the hot surface rises and is replaced by a cooler fluid, which gets heated and again replaced.
WRONG. Convection is simply the movement of the air. It has nothing to do with what heats it. It is hot air rising.
WRONG. The atmosphere has radiance, just as the surface has. The Stefan-Boltzmann law applies to gases, liquids, solids, even plasmas.
WRONG. It IS the atmosphere. You are again confusing conduction with convection.
I don't think you understand the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
I understand it quite well. I understand it applies to ALL bodies, not just solid ones.
The atmosphere is mainly made of up N2 and O2. They are effectively invisible to nearly all of the electromagnetic spectrum that is of interest. They do not radiate heat to space.
WRONG. They DO radiate into space.
They are heated and cooled by convection or conduction.
Convection does not go into space. Neither does conduction.
The trace amounts of H2O and CO2 can potentially heat or cool the N2 or O2 by collisions and then transfer that heat by radiance, but it would be negligible.
WRONG. Conduction, convection, and radiance ALL take place in the atmosphere.
WRONG. Humidity sets the dew point. It does not raise the temperature of anything.
Of course there is variation due to weather conditions. Weather forecasters always take humidity into account when forecasting temperatures.
WRONG. They use it to predict cloud cover and precipitation.
Please take some time and study 'latent heat'. You clearly don't understand it.
I do understand it. It does not warm anything. It does not cool anything. It does not change the temperature at all.
WRONG. It applies to solids, gases, liquids, and even plasmas. It applies to ALL bodies, not just ideally black ones. You are trying to change the Stefan-Boltzmann law by removing terms in the equation.
It DOES apply to the atmosphere.
There is no such thing as an 'atmospheric greenhouse'. No gas or vapor is capable of warming the Earth by absorbing surface IR.
That is why I referred to the 'surface' of the earth which though not an ideal black body, still emits radiation proportional to T^4.
Yes they do. All gases do.
since they do not absorb and emit EM radiation in a range we care about.
There is no term for frequency in the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
CO2 and H2O do absorb and emit EM radiation at certain narrow bands and have some characteristics of a black body.
ALL gases have black body radiance.
Radiation emitted at those ranges is still proportional to T^4.
The Stefan-Boltzmann law has no term for frequency. ALL frequencies combined are considered.
But they are trace gases. It is interesting to note that the CO2 in the atmosphere emits radiation in its narrow band at about 220 K (-53 C).
It also emits black body radiation over a wide range of colors. That curve is according to Wien's law. The amount radiated is according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
You seriously need to study basic physics and heat transfer. I'm not sure you understand this subject at all.
Wikipedia is discarded on sight. It is not a valid reference. Too many articles in it are badly written, incomplete, or outright wrong.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics defines 'heat', what it is, and its direction of flow. Wikipedia does not define 'heat'.
Heat is the movement of thermal energy from one place to another. Heat does not 'transfer' anywhere. Heat IS transfer. It is the flow itself.
I would strongly suggesting purchasing one of these textbooks and reading it, or sign up for a university level 'Heat Transfer' course almost anywhere that has engineering courses.
I would strongly suggest you learn what 'heat' is.
I did in my heat transfer, physics, thermodynamics, chemistry, and other classes. I passed and have applied what I learned in my career.
No, it does not. However, your post does demonstrate that you do not have an understanding of either the Stefan-Boltzmann equations or basic physics.
Your graph, by the way, fails to take into account that by March 10th Barrow was getting less that 12 hours of daylight and had just come out of 90 days of total darkness. One thing about O3 that less scrupulous politically motivated people never tell you is that it requires sunlight, or more specifically, UV radiation to make O3. No sunlight, no O3. Oh, look an ozone hole over Barrow (now known as Utqiagvik), Alaska! Imagine that!
Of course it is applied in "non-ideal conditions," but that does not make the conclusions correct. The Stephan-Boltzmann equations are used in calculating stellar habitable zones, but only as approximations. Nobody has ever claimed any planet must have a specific surface temperature based upon the Stephan-Boltzmann laws. That would be stupid. They are only suggesting what the surface temperature of an idealized abstract black body would radiate according to Stephan-Boltzmann.
I don't believe you. You will find that claims of credentials mean nothing on forums.
...I've tried to explain ad nauseum that black body radiation actually references steel and the new science at the turn of the 20th Century. Any theoretical relationship would need to exist between water and atmospheric gases as the difference in density is about 1,000:1. The exchange rate of heat is expected to follow accordingly.
Argument of the Stone. Did you know an gas can glow with heat? What do you suppose it's giving off if not light?
Not "mostly correct", entirely correct.
I posted, verbatim, the definitions of both the Stefan–Boltzmann law and black bodies.
No, you didn't. You are attempting to eliminate terms from the equation and add new ones.
This law is an integration of Planck's law of all frequencies of light. It does not have any terms for frequency in it. It does not refer only to ideal black bodies. That is a reference point, not the law. That is why the law as an 'emissivity' constant. It is a measured constant. This law applies to all bodies, whether they are solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. It applies at all times.
The Stefan-Boltzmann equations have absolutely nothing do with atmospheres, gases, or chemical combinations.
Yes it does. It applies to all bodies, even gaseous ones.
To even try to draw some kind of inference that there may be a correlation demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding.

It is accessible both in leather as well as in texture based on that which you support a bright appear, or a lovely, beautiful view. The good thing, it's very sensible! The super stylish tufting is shaped precious stone, which retains an exquisite Chesterfield design. The most adorable point about this couch is its shape. Along with the charm, the trunk style gives your back understanding of relaxation. It's cleverly created so that smaller sized rooms consolidate extravagance inside a smaller space. It's a smart decision for the childrens room, because it provides several fairly sweet tones. They would love to strike them for reading the storyline or a fantastic desire. No hassle for grown ups too for a comfy night with Manga or Marvels.
Using the current surge in popularity of the Mid-Century Modern design genre, this couch design is a warm product. Regardless of whether accurate classic items, reproductions or new styles that contain Middle-Century Contemporary components, these are very versatile sofas. Usually utilized in a minimal or mid-hundred years design scheme, they're fantastic for including a vintage feel to a room. The distinguishing elements include the exposed legs and linear structure. Most middle-century sofas but not all of them may have some tufting around the back again.

The term here is the comfort and ease and complicated appear. This established has a tufted backrest and toe nail mind highlight that gives it the subtle appear. Its gray color adds to its remarkable look. It may fit up to 8 in . bed mattress. That alone lets you know how comfy the established could be. Particularly, it does not include a bed mattress. So you may want to buy one. The trundle features a castor to allow easy access. You may even draw the trundle that people sit on. Simply to mention, it may need assembling, but again its super easy to assemble.

While the rear of this couch shows the Chesterfield, using its rows of tufting, a tux couch has solution, more angular lines. It is stated to possess been the bellwether more modern styles in the 1920s. While some say this sofa design took its name from Tuxedo Recreation area in New York, it's also considered called after the traditional extravagant mens match. You are able to identify a tux sofa by its hands that are the same peak as the back. The tufting on the back of the sofa and its rectangular silhouette are also traditional qualities. Cushions include comfort and ease to this high-armed design. Also, while the sofa over from Upcountry is upholstered in leather-based, this well-liked style is usually completed in textiles of all types, including the really trendy purple velvet.

As well as allows for fitted even in little areas. It takes just mild putting together.Additionally, it features push soft cushions for optimum comfort. You may want to try this established. It works nicely.
The Lawson could be known as quintessential United states sofa style. It's comfortable and simple: The boxy shape is generous and characteristically has three back again soft cushions as well as three seat soft cushions. The classic Lawson also has A taller back and container-shaped soft cushions which have welts in the edges, just like the back pillows. Ideal for cuddling and sleeping, this sofa design was created for Jones Lawson, an American copper mineral tycoon at the turn from the century. He wanted a settee that was very different from the picky Victorian designs which were common at that time. Current versions from the Lawson can also incorporate wood or metal included in the arms. Most significantly, this couch design is the one which will change its feel with the textile you choose for the upholstery. The shape is so versatile that it can be glamorous, magnificent, industrial, informal or formal based on your fabric option.

Torain Nearing Return
In 2010, Ryan Torain was the Redskins leading rusher, gaining more yards on the ground than the rest of the team combined. But after fracturing his hand early in training camp this year, he has been almost forgotten in the running back competition.
"It's tough being on the sidelines, but I'm excited to get out there and play," he said. "The team looks great and we've got a lot of team camaraderie, so we're just focused."
Torain is expected to return to action in the Redskins' preseason finale vs. Tampa Bay on Sept. 1, according to Mike Shanahan.
For now, Torain is working in individual drills during practice.
"I'm doing what the coaches ask me to do: taking hand-offs, catching the ball, and working with the trainers," he said. "I've been staying in shape, and getting back to the contact-level, that won't take long at all."
With Torain sidelined, Tim Hightower, Roy Helu and Evan Royster have seen increased reps at running back. They each are making a strong push for the Redskins' starting job, as well as playing time.
When healthy, Torain won't back down from the competition.
"Competition makes us great," he said. "We're all going to push one another to get better and we've just got to stay together as a team. I am excited just because it makes us all better."
As a constant presence at practice, Torain has had a chance to assess the strengths of his team's offense.
"The offensive line looks great, and I feel like they're jelling well together," he said. "It's a positive year and I'm excited for it."

The Joys of Horror Comedy
Published on July 6, 2020 July 6, 2020 by R.6 Comments
I feel like a genre there isn't enough of is horror-comedy. And there are some winners out there! I watched three delightful ones today: Extra Ordinary (2019), Little Evil (2017) and Beetlejuice (1988). And I can wholeheartedly recommend them all!
Extra Ordinary follows a driving instructor with a Talent for the supernatural who gets roped into helping a man rid his house of his wife's spirit. The spirit will go so far as to dictate what shirt he can and can't wear, how much toast he should eat, or where the plates need to go into the dishwasher. Honestly, it's hilarious.
Little Evil is about a man with a stepson who takes pranks to an extra level – to the point where the father starts to wonder if he's actually evil. The opening scene is the wife having to dig her husband out of the ground because the stepson buried him. Adam Scott is honestly a gem in this! I laughed so much.
Beetlejuice is a classic Tim Burton! I remember, vaguely, seeing it as a child, but I couldn't remember anything about it other than Winona Ryder was in it. I totally forget it had Alec Baldwin! It also has Catherine O'Hara and watching it so soon after finishing Schitt's Creek gave me the giggles. She's a star!
Anyone else love horror-comedy? I'd love some recommendations!

3 Mini Film Reviews
Published on June 14, 2020 by R.5 Comments
Reality Bites [2003 | indie, romance, drama] This quiet, understated indie movie is one I wish I'd watched sooner! It stars Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofalo, Ben Stiller and Ethan Hawke. I was really surprised I'd never seen it before! The film follows a group of friends after they graduate from college (or don't, in some cases) and try to figure out their lives in the adult world. Main character Lelaina moves in with her best friend Vickie, and then their two friends Troy and Sammy also move in. Lelaina works on a television show writing notes for a misogynistic boss that she barely tolerates, Vickie gets a job in sales, and for a while they manage to make it work. On the side, Lelaina is filming her documentary on the side, capturing more quiet, intimate moments of the group and their arrival into adulthood. After Lelaina tosses her cigarette into Michael's (Ben Stiller) car and causes him to crash, the pair begin to date, much to Troy's displeasure.
I was surprised to learn that Ben Stiller directed this one! I had no idea! I'm surprised it took me so long, because I adore the cast and have always liked Ben Stiller's and Winona Ryder's movies. If you like romantic indie movies à la Before Sunrise, Ferris Bueller's Day Off or 10 Things I Hate About You, give this a go!
Lady Bird [2017| drama, indie, coming of age] This film follows a young girl getting ready for college and her struggling relationship with her mother. It's set in Sacramento where Lady Bird, the main girl, is about to graduate from her strict Catholic high school and is dealing with the complicated road ahead of her. Her mother wants her to stay in California, she wants to go to New York. She's at odds with her mother's standards and views, but it's clear that they love each other. Every time they fight, they make up. The dramatics are contrasted by the sweet moments, and I'd say it's more of a mother-daughter movie than a romance, although there is a love interest in the form of Kyle (Timothée Chalamet).
I really loved Lady Bird (real name Christine) as a character. Saoirse Ronan is a wonderful actress and was at her absolute best in this role. I love the dynamics between Lady Bird and her mother, and Lady Bird and her father, as well as her friendship with Julie. It's a touching independent movie and has that 'real feel' to it.
Accepted [2006 | comedy, new adult] is one of my favourite silly comedies. It stars Justin Long, Columbus Short, Maria Thayer, Blake Lively and Jonah Hill. The movie centres upon Bartleby Gaines after he's rejected from every college he applies to. In a desperate attempt to get his father off his back, Bartleby fakes a college acceptance letter and website with the help of his friends who also struggled to get into school. The website accidentally accepts everyone who tries to apply, however, and dozens of kids show up on the 'first day of school'. Once he realises how much it means to everyone there, Bartleby decides to continue with it and very soon the students are running the asylum-turned-faux-college. It's not a particularly plausible movie, but I really do adore the lightness of it. The movie has a good message about being true to yourself and the main characters are all likeable. If you're looking for something feel good and fun, I totally recommend this one!

This is a breath of fresh air. An EU report that does exactly what it says on the tin - in only 3 pages!
The LIBER e-Science working group held three workshops at conferences in 2011-2012. Their final report very succinctly summarises the findings of these and gives 10 prioritised recommendations.
Their pragmatism continues to the end where they conclude that "There is no need for research libraries to start with all recommendations or to try to deliver a full spectrum of data services at once. Small steps will do."
Practical, encouraging advice. Well done LIBER!

Tesla's value perception
Tesla's mission is to support the world's transition to sustainable transport by bringing high-tech and compelling electric cars to the mass market. An essential part of making this happen is making electric cars desirable. To do this, Tesla has designed its web experience to promote its cars and brand in a way that boosts the perception and appeal of electric cars.
Why this is really good UX:
Tesla focuses on the emotional design of the experience. Emotional design happens on three levels: the visceral, behavioral, and reflective. The visceral is the first visual impression of the product where quality is perceived from the look and feel. Tesla addresses this with a full-screen image of the car to make a statement through the detail and clarity of the image. The behavioral—the assessment of how well the product performs the desired functions—is met with concise copy, icons, and the focus on safety and performance. The reflective is how the product will make us feel and be perceived by others, which Tesla addresses with its video content that puts the car into a real-life context, making it easier for the user to imagine the feeling of owning a Tesla.
Because Tesla needs to communicate a lot of information and evoke positive emotions at the same time, the web page is split into nine separate full-screen sections to make the experience more manageable for the user. This approach is otherwise known as progressive disclosure: a method to chunk information into segments to ensure the user is not overwhelmed.

Four men face charges of organized crime and theft, among others, after they were arrested in connection with a recent vehicle burglary in North Lubbock.
Police late last week announced 19-year-old Elijah Escobedo, 17-year-old Ivan Williams, and 26-year-old Angelica Amaya were charged with theft, engaging in organized crime, and possession of marijuana Wednesday. A fourth man, 18-year-old Elijah Garcia, was arrested for the same charges and on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant.
According to a police report, LPD received a call Wednesday in regard to a vehicle burglary in progress at Amigos United Supermarket on North University. The vehicle was stopped in the 2600 block of 1st Place and the officer reported a strong scent of marijuana in the vehicle. All four men were found to be in possession of marijuana, according to the report.
The officer had been advised that the suspects stole a tool box containing painting supplies from the bed of a truck while at the store, and the box was found in the back seat of the suspects' vehicle. The tool box was returned to the victim.
All four suspects were booked into the Lubbock County jail.


ANAHEIM >> The Angels, who have waited all season for their offense to arrive, are finally enjoying an extended hot streak at the plate.
The Angels' come-from-behind 8-6 victory over the Oakland A's on Friday night was their fourth straight victory, and sixth in their last seven. In all seven games they have scored at least five runs, their longest such streak since they did it 10 games in a row in their division-title season in 2014.
The Angels (55-55), back at .500 for the first time since July 2, pulled within two games of the Kansas City Royals for the American League's second wild card spot. The Tampa Bay Rays and Seattle Mariners are in between the Angels and Royals.
On Friday night, the Angels trailed 6-2 in the sixth before mounting a comeback, with two runs in the sixth and four in the seventh.
Cliff Pennington's two-out, two-run single in the sixth cut the deficit in half. The Angels had a shot to add more, loading the bases on a Yunel Escobar single and a Mike Trout walk, but Albert Pujols stranded the runners with a foul out.
In the seventh, they took the lead with the help of Daniel Coulombe's control issues. He walked Kole Calhoun, Andrelton Simmons and Ben Revere before getting yanked.
Blake Treinen then entered. He struck out C.J. Cron, but pinch-hitter Luis Valbuena, who has struggled for most of the season, delivered one of his biggest hits with the Angels. His two-run single into left tied the score, 6-6.
Escobar then hit a dribbler toward third baseman Matt Chapman, who bobbled it as the go-ahead run scored. Trout's third hit of the night — and 997th of his carer — added an insurance run.
The late runs also took Troy Scribner off the hook for a loss on the night of his first major league start.
Scribner lasted four innings and was charged with five runs, although only two were earned. His night was an uneven one, marked by a three-run homer, four walks and an embarrassing stumble on the mound.
Just before he was lifted in the fifth, for issuing his second straight walk to start the inning, he lost his footing on his follow-through and tumbled to the ground. After, he sat on the grass, a look of embarrassment more than any type of injury.
The Angels put Scribner into the rotation in place of Jesse Chavez, who had a 5.43 ERA after 21 starts. A non-drafted free agent, Scribner moved through the systems of the Houston Astros and then the Angels without attracting much attention on the prospect lists.

Uses of Solar Cell
Different Ways of Using Solar Cells
The world is striving to find an energy source to answer the crisis and to run everything smoothly. With the fast depletion of fossil fuels, we are currently moving towards the end where only renewable energy sources such as the sun can only keep us giving energy. Hence, solar energy is an important topic to study and raise awareness of. In this section, we will study how this energy is harvested and the uses of solar cell. You will learn how solar panels can easily trap energy and convert it into electricity.
What is Solar Energy?
The sunrays originating from the only star in our planetary system radiate energy. This energy is called solar energy as it originates from the sun. It is a sustainable form of energy that will not deplete in due course of time. The evolving technologies can trap heat and light better and convert them into electricity with the use of photovoltaic cells. These cells have made the foundation of solar panel use in our daily life. The harnessing and distribution of solar energy give us hope for the future.
What are a Solar Cell and Solar Panel?
It was in 1839, Edmond Becquerel, a young physicist, demonstrated the phenomenon of the photovoltaic effect in his lab. Since then, a lot of research has been going on in this field to utilize this phenomenon and develop solar cells to trap solar energy. This is how solar cells were introduced.
It is the photovoltaic unit found in the solar panels that trap the light of sun rays and generate electricity. These cells are designed following the photovoltaic effect where electricity is produced in a conductor when exposed to light. There is no chemical reaction in the cells which signifies that they can be used for a long period until the unit stops performing. The semiconductor used in solar cell is silicon in most designs.
A solar panel is the accumulation of the solar cells on a panel board connected to an electrical system that ends in a battery. These cells can charge the battery and directly power a house and its appliances. The prime advantage of solar cell is that they can run throughout their lifespan for years and generate electricity. It does not involve any chemical reaction or require any fuels to run. It generates green sustainable energy without leaving carbon footprints.
Here is the list of uses of solar cells in different aspects of our lives.
1. Solar Cells Used in Villages
One of the best ways to demonstrate the power and advantages of solar cells is their use in lighting up dark paths of villages. The power of the sun can be harnessed to light up the interior of the remotest villages where electricity has not reached yet. The uses of photovoltaic cells can be perfectly understood when the lights turn up after the sunsets.
The harvested energy can also be used to run various home appliances. It can also be used to run a school and provide power to rural hospitals. Batteries can be charged during the day and used at night for different purposes. You can easily elaborate and give one use of solar cell.
2. Solar Cells Used in Transportation
The creation of photovoltaic cells has revolutionized the way we are seeing sustainable energy harnessed from the sun these days. The cells are now being made in such an effective way that they can harness more energy and can even charge a car. Probably, this is the prime solar panel use in the future that will make transportation free from fossil fuels. The level of pollution will also reduce and we will have a renewable source of energy to use. Solar power will become more efficient and it will be used to power bigger vehicles and transportation modes.
3. Solar Cells Used in Different Appliances and Equipment
Many small appliances, accessories, and equipment can be paired with a solar cell. The power requirement of these appliances is not high and can be run using a solar cell. Solar cells are used in calculators, watches, clocks, small lights, and even small home appliances. Its utility can be diversified and used in different domains.
4. Solar Cells Used in Homes
Solar panels are excellent fixtures that can be easily installed on the roof or anywhere convenient. These panels can also be designed as roof tiles or as a tree. A rooftop panel is a solar panel used for sale to set up an independent power source for homes and to reduce energy bills. It helps the households to heat water and uses it for different purposes such as bathing, washing clothes, dishwashing, etc. This energy can also be stored in batteries for emergencies and power cuts. As you can see, these panels are ideal for rural areas where constant power supply is questionable.
Advantages of Using Solar Cells
The solar panels are set in such a way that a sunny day can generate power from 9 am to 3 pm. In fact, some solar panels can also rotate their position and adjust their face towards the sun to grab more energy. The advantages of using solar cells are mentioned below.
1. Solar energy is renewable and sustainable. It does not leave carbon footprints and helps in reducing pollution.
2. The prime advantage of solar cell is that you will not have to refuel them. Once installed, it will generate electricity throughout its lifespan.

Sprint Android Software updates OnePlus 5G
Android 10 starts rolling out to the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, but the US must wait
The time has come for OnePlus to bring the latest Android version to yet another well-reviewed phone in stable form, but although the 5G-enabled 7 Pro is pretty much identical to the 4G LTE-only model, owners of the former handset were kept waiting a long time for this.
We're talking several excruciating months, as the "regular" OnePlus 7 Pro variant started receiving Android 10 goodies way back in September, with a number of very serious issues forcing a halt followed by a resumption of over-the-air action the next month.
Hopefully, the Android 10 promotion for the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G will not go through the same troubles as the 7 Pro, 6, and 6T rollouts these last few months. Unfortunately, there are already a number of users reporting various glitches on the company's official forums, most notably something seriously wrong with the in-car Bluetooth connectivity of the 5G-capable phone.
It's also important to highlight that OnePlus hasn't confirmed the update for any specific regions or carriers, and although the wait seems to be over for EE customers in the UK, for instance, the same cannot be said in the US as far as Sprint subscribers are concerned. Keep in mind that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is different from the 7T Pro 5G McLaren released exclusively on T-Mobile stateside with Android 10 out the box. And yes, Sprint is the nation's only network where you can actually use the 7 Pro 5G.
While waiting for the "Now Network" to do what needs to be done... at some point in the future, you might be curious exactly what to expect in terms of new features, system enhancements, and UI tweaks.
Aside from things like a system-wide dark theme and improved controls over the security and privacy of your handset, which are part of Google's standard Android 10 package, OnePlus will be delivering a number of proprietary OxygenOS changes, including new customization features in Settings, a "brand new UI design", enhanced location permissions for privacy, and a couple of neat full screen gestures for a more intuitive navigation experience.

Hardware Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 12GB RAM
OS Android 10 OxygenOS UI


Do you want to some temporary online file storage to upload your files? Check this list of the best anonymous file-sharing services.
Cloud storage has become an exciting option to save our files. It is a way to have them always available anywhere and to be able to create backup copies. But it can also come in handy when we have to send documents and folders to other users.
So let's see the best anonymous file-sharing services with temporary online storage.
One of the options you have to send files anonymously over the Internet is ToffeeShare. It is a straightforward temporary online file storage to use, and that doesn't require any registration or to give your data.
You have to drop the files that you want to password there. Also, keep in mind that this platform has no space limit. Of course, the larger the file, the longer it will take to upload, logically.
Once that file is uploaded to the platform, a link will automatically be generated. That link you can pass to your contacts through email, social networks, WhatsApp. This way you can download it without problems.
Another of the temporary online file storage you have available to send files anonymously is SendGB. This platform allows sending up to 4GB. You can upload the files here and send them to your contacts.
It is necessary to mention that it allows generating a password. In this way, the file that you upload goes encrypted and you avoid possible intruders. Besides, it has a self-destruct option, and after seven days it is eliminated. You can even configure it to be deleted when it has been downloaded.
WeTransfer is one of the anonymous file-sharing services that has managed to position itself as a benchmark in this sector, and they are so confident that they have dared to launch a paid option. Even so, in its free mode you can send up to 2 GB in files to a maximum of 20 users by entering their emails, and the files will be kept online for seven days.
As for its paid option, WeTransfer Plus offers transfers of up to 20 GB, a custom subdomain for shipments, and the possibility of adding keys. It also provides you 100 GB of permanent storage. Come on, that for the $12 a month it costs becomes almost a storage service in the cloud.
JustBeamIt you can also send files anonymously. It doesn't require any registration or to put your data. The process is straightforward. You have to upload the files you want here, and it automatically generates a link. Besides, I must mention that this time there is no size limit.
It generates a ZIP file in case of uploading several single files — one way to maintain order and the other person to download it more easily.
OnionShare is an open source anonymous file sharing tool, available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, which is used to share files regardless of their size.
Its purpose is that the transmission of files is secure and anonymous. For this, its strategy is to operate as a private web server that generates a link from which anyone can download said file.
The operation is simple. Who wants to send a file opens OnionShare and adds one or more files or folders to share. Then click on Start Sharing, and you will get a link.
As a precaution, the link generated must be shared only with those who must download the file. Sharing it with anyone will make OnionShare stop being so safe.
Anyway, from the Settings of this tool you can make the link to stop being available after the first download, option that is activated by default.
For the rest, the app is effortless. When you add files or folders they will show their size. Once shared, you will see if there are downloads in progress and completed successfully. OnionShare is easy to use, but if you have questions, you can go to their official help.
Reep-io is anonymous file sharing tool to protect files with a password. The mechanics are the same, you add a file to your liking, the page generates a link, and you share it with who we want to receive it.
The shipment is made through P2P, encrypting our communications with Data Transport Transport Layer Security (DTLS) using SSL to reduce the possibility of suffering a man-in-the-midle attack. The service has no size limit or some files, and even allows streaming video or preview of the images.
UploadFiles is anonymous file sharing service to share files anonymously over the Internet is UploadFiles.io. It works similarly to the last ones I mentioned. This time we have a 5GB limit, which may be more than enough for many users.
It is an entirely free platform and doesn't require any previous registration. You have to upload the files here, and it will generate a link. This link can be passed to other users and thus be able to download them.
But why choose between the security measures offered by some of the previous services if you can have them all? FileSharing provides the possibility to protect the downloads with a password, sends the encrypted files and the links that it creates are automatically deleted after 24 hours. Also, if your upload fails this will resume where it stayed when you try again.
All this with the classic mechanics of dragging files or choosing them with the browser, and being able to do the sending by sharing the unique link that is generated or by entering an email. Of course, you will have a limit of 5 GB for the files to send.
Send Anywhere is possibly one of the most versatile anonymous file-sharing services that you can find. And all because it complements its website with applications for all operating systems: Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Kindle, Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU / Linux. It also has an add-in for Outlook, apps, and extensions for Chrome and a plug-in for WordPress.
On the web, you can add files to generate a link or enter a password you have received to start a download. The data aren't encrypted, and the web version has a limit of 1 GB, but it makes up for it by instantly deleting what you share at the same moment that the receiver has finished downloading it.
FilePizza is another temporary online file storage. The file is sent directly from browser to browser using WebTorrent and WebRTC. This means that both have to be connected at the same time at the time of sending.
The only thing that you have to take into account is that the developers warn that sometimes in Chrome there are problems when sending files of more than 500 megabytes, a problem that in Firefox, for example, doesn't occur.
So far those were the best temporary online file storage tools to upload your files quickly and anonymously. Now you can share files without providing usernames or passwords.
Do you use any of these tools before? Let me know in the comments section.

AC Shelby Cobra – A Beast to Tame
July 29, 2020 by Sports Car Digest 3 Comments
The AC Shelby Cobra is one of the most iconic sports cars of the post-war era. When it comes down to sheer automotive power and anger, there is no substitute for the Shelby Cobra. The Cobra 427 top speed was 164mph and it could leap from 0 to 60 in a heart-stopping 3.8 seconds. It was the fastest car America had ever seen at the time and left the Chevrolet Corvette in its dust.
The Cobra struck the public eye in the 1960s. This was the time when the notion that cars could be more than just large heavy vehicles- they could be fast and fun! And boy did the Cobra tick the fun box, provided you could tame the mighty beast!
Carroll Shelby managed to combine the two main American automotive interest groups, hot rods and sports cars, and produce one outstanding ride. In total, only around 1000 cars were ever produced.
1964 Shelby Cobra 289 – Bruce Canepa
The Vision of the Cobra
The legend of the AC Shelby Cobra began as a vision of the now late Carroll Shelby.
Shelby and his assistant, Joan Sherman going for a ride in the prototype Cobra after it was made in 1962 (photo: Tam McPartland)
The legendary car racers vision was to produce an affordable sports car that combined a lightweight European chassis with the torque and power of an American V8 engine in the front. It may not sound like a great feat, but nobody before Shelby had done this in such explosive success.
Even before he started professional racing, Carroll Shelby dreamed of making a sports car with his signature.
The Early Beginnings of the Shelby Cobra
The story of the AC Shelby Cobra begins in the UK.
The British car manufacturer, AC Cars Ltd of Thames Ditton in England, had been producing race-winning sports cars for decades. The AC Ace Bristol won the GT class at Sebring from 1957 until 1959.
Not long after that, their engine supplier, Bristol ended the production of their 6 cylinder engines that AC was using. AC Cars needed a replacement engine to give them that winning boost. At the same time, Ford had just developed a new lightweight, small, thin-wall casting V8.
Carroll Shelby saw the potential in the light and simple British roadster. His vision was to take the same AC Ace chassis and equip it with a big American V8 engine. This was his chance to fulfil his dream of building cars.
He quickly contacted the British company and they were interested in supplying Shelby with the chassis. His next move was to convince Ford to give him $25,000 and a few of the V8 engines. He managed to convince Ford by promising a car that would blow away Chevrolet Corvettes on the racetrack.
Dreaming of a Cobra
The name 'Cobra' came to Carroll Shelby's mind during a dream one night. Waking up to the name, he wrote it down and liked what he wrote in the morning. Shelby stated 'a car makes a name. You can call it anything you want if it's an exceptional vehicle".
The Shelby Cobra makes its way to the US
It was in 1962 that the first AC chassis came to the US with most of the modifications already made for mounting the 3.6 L V8.
Source: September 1962 Road and Track Magazine
While waiting for the chassis the displacement of the 3.6L small-block V8 increased to 4.3 L.
In just 8 hours upon receiving the chassis, Shelby's team equipped the car with the V8 engine and a 4-speed Borg-Warner transmission. They immediately began road testing. The Ford V8 more than doubled the output of the Bristol engine with no increase in weight of the car.
The first Cobra prototype built by Shelby was named the CSX2000. Painted with a coat of yellow, the first-ever Shelby Cobra hit the New York Autoshow together with Ford.
The car was to be sold with limited production at a price of $5995- a fraction of what they would cost now to get your hands on one. Recently (2017) the original CSX2000 sold for US$13.75 million.
After a successful Autoshow presentation, orders for the Shelby Cobra started to come in. A month later the first journalists started testing the car and the reviews were spectacular. The Shelby Cobra was ready for production.
Initial Production of the Shelby Cobra
The production of the "original" Shelby Cobra ran from 1962-1967.
1963 Shelby Cobra CSX2080
The Mark I was produced from 1962-1963, the Mark II from 1963-1965, and the infamous Mark III from 1965-1967.
Later "continuation" models, limited production Mark IV, V, and IV were made as late as 2017 by companies with official AC licensing.
The first AC Shelby Cobra, the CSX 2001, and a small number of other Mark I Cobras were made on the East Coast of the US. They were assembled in Pennsylvania by Ed Hugus, who was also a former race car driver and the first Shelby Cobra dealer. Shelby, however, finished most of the cars in his workshop in Los Angeles by installing the engine and gearbox of cars that AC exported.
The start of the production was not as smooth as expected. There were a few changes before the production started.
The inboard brakes were moved outboard to reduce costs and the fuel tank filler was moved from the rear fender to the centre of the trunk lid. The trunk lid had to be modified to fit these changes.
AC exported finished and painted cars to Shelby who then installed the engine and the gearbox. They also corrected any bodywork damage that occurred during the shipping process.
The Mark I Shelby Cobra had the 4.3 or the 4.7 L V8 powertrain. While the Mark II Cobra only sported the 289 cubic inch 4.7L V8.
The Mark II also featured extensive design changes to the front to accommodate a better steering system while still using the same transverse leaf spring suspension.
Shelby had bigger plans for the Mark 3 Shelby Cobra as he realized there was space for more power and better handling. The infamous Mark 3 Cobra 427 with the 7.0 L was born.
Out of all the model years, the 427 Shelby Cobra is still the crown jewel. It was Carroll Shelby's dream to build the ultimate classic muscle car.
Installing the big-block 7 L Ford engine seemed like an insane thing to do for such a small and light chassis. And it was exactly that, insane.
With 450 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque, the original Cobra chassis needed a fair amount of rework to handle all this power. The new chassis was designed together with Ford in Detroit. It featured stronger main chassis tubes and an all-around coil spring suspension.
The new chassis also sported wider fenders and a bigger front radiator opening. This gave the Shelby Cobra that iconic muscle car look.
The Mark III Cobra missed the homologation deadline for the 1965 racing season which meant only 56 racing cars of the planned 100 cars were manufactured. Out of those 56, 31 "competition" models were detuned and transformed into street use vehicles. They were branded the S/C model for semi competition.
The S/C 427 Shelby Cobra remains one of the most sought after Cobras to this day. A good example can sell for at least 1,5 million US dollars.
To put things into perspective, the 427 Cobra is fast even by today's standards. The 0-60 mph time was just over 4 seconds and 100 mph sprint took just over 10 seconds.
One of the most common stories you hear about the 427 Shelby Cobra is the 100$ dashboard trick that Carroll liked to pull off. He put a 100$ bill on the dashboard and told everyone they could keep it if they reached for it while he floored the 427's gas pedal. Nobody got the 100$. Ever.
It was the most brutal and fastest American car in every aspect for many years.
Later Versions and Packages
During its run at the Shelby American Inc., the Cobra was available in three packages. The "Dragon snake" offered the drag package which won several NHRA National events.
The "Slalom snake" package was designed for autocross events.
They only made two examples of the Slalom snake. Both of the cars had white exterior paint with red racing stripes and red leather interior.
The last package was called the "Super Snake". It was the "Cobra to End All Cobras".
They were essentially a race-spec Shelby Cobras with street-legal mufflers, a windshield, and bumpers. The rear end, brakes, and headers remained the same as that of a Cobra meant for racing.

It also had the Twin Paxton Superchargers. The first "Super Snake" Shelby Cobra the, CSX3015 S/C was the original "Cobra to End All Cobras" and remained the personal car of Carroll Shelby for many years. It was sold and auctioned off in 2007 for a staggering $5 million (+2.8 million commission) US Dollars.
When Ford and Shelby stopped importing and manufacturing the Mark III Shelby Cobra, AC Cars kept producing the Cobra for the European market. It was called the AC 289 Sports. It featured the coil spring suspension and the narrow fender chassis. Power was delivered by the small-block Ford 289 cubic inch V8 engine. They stopped production and sales in 1969.
There were also several so-called continuation cars made by companies with Ford or AC Cars licensing. The most notable was the Autokraft Mark IV Cobra with the 4.95 L Ford V8 and an independent suspension. There were also later modifications of the "Cobra-style" cars made by several companies marketed as the Mark V and Mark VI. All of them were made in small numbers.
Driving and Performance of the Cobra
None of the AC Shelby Cobras were weak cars, to say the least. When you combine such a small and light chassis with even a small block V8 you are bound to get the experience of a lifetime. Keep in mind this was still the era of no electronic assist systems keeping you on the road.
As mentioned before, the stronger model, the Cobra 427 reached 60 mph in just 4 seconds. Figures like that were outstanding in 1965, and they still are. Many of the 427 owners could not handle the brutal acceleration which is why many of them ended up wrecked.
These cars were especially unpredictable in the rain. Only a skilled driver can control such raw power in slippery conditions. But the raw power output and the brutal acceleration were the key selling points of the Cobra. The buyers got exactly what they wanted, a true driver's car.
Luxury and comfort do not come into the Shelby Cobra recipe. So do not expect them. This is an extreme sports car and not many unnecessary things were installed.

The driver had all the instruments needed to monitor the car and that was it. Everything else in the interior was low weight and geared towards performance.
The seats were thin and sat low, the suspension was stiff which didn't make this the most comfortable car either.
The majority of Shelby Cobras were roadsters. They were equipped with a piece of canvas and plexiglass side windows in case there was any rain. There was no regular convertible roof. Driving in the rain was both dangerous due to the strength of the car and also unpleasant due to bad protection.
This might all sound like a bad thing, but in reality, it was not. The point of the Cobra was no fancy equipment, it was the performance and the brutal sound of the V8 roaring directly at your face. This was and still is the magic of the Shelby Cobra.
The shape of the Shelby Cobra might be one of the most recognizable on the planet. From the side, it looks low, flat, and curvy at the same time. The only thing protruding from the silhouette of the car is the windshield, the driver, and the roll bar behind the driver. With the introduction of the Mark III chassis, the Cobra got its wide fenders which make it look like a proper muscle car.
The American Dream Lives On
The original Cobra 427, produced between 1965 and 1967, is one of the most sought after and consequently expensive classic cars. There are few of them on the market (a total of only 348 were produced), so it is no wonder that prices exceed one million US dollars.
Today, the American Shelby lives on. In 2014, they announced that on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Cobra 427, they would produce a limited series of 50 cars, whose body colour would be black and the interior red with gold accessories. They were sold out within 48 hours.

Great post, thank you for sharing.

I owned CSX2010 in Dec. 1969. It was slightly damaged and could never drive it.
Eventually ended up with Lynn Park.

Increase in wealth of business owners tends to increase the spending by them on luxury goods and services. This very factor is driving the adoption of sports cars by customers in many parts of the globe.

Q: How to get gliderlabs/registrator running on on Bluemix I'm trying to get gliderlabs registrator running on Bluemix, but I'm having issues as the container won't start with
O400 The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port
What I think is happening is that my docker host is running on tcp://containers-api.eu-gb.bluemix.net:8443 - so the docker rest api's are https.  However I suspect the gliderlabs/registrator is using http by default.
So anyone got any ideas how to get this to work ?
Steve

A: Looking at that package, it uses the library github.com/fsouza/go-dockerclient to access the docker remote api, specifically the NewClientFromEnv() call.  Per the readme for go-dockerclient, it should pick up the env vars for https if they're there - i.e. make sure you're exporting all three env vars: DOCKER_HOST, DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY, DOCKER_CERT_PATH.
Another possibility - per reading the comments about registrator - you may wish to check that you're using gliderlabs/registrator:master instead of gliderlabs/registrator:latest.  Just pulled both to check, and  "latest" is 14 months old, vs 6 days for "master".


As wind turbines come to the end of their lifespan the clean energy source faces barriers to continuing its commitment to being environmentally friendly. After 15 to 25 years in the field, wind turbines need to be replaced by newer, more efficient technology. While most of the machine can be recycled, the blades themselves can't be due to their carbon fiber composition. This poses a problem of what to do with the estimated 50,000 tons of blade waste predicted by 2020.
The Dutch firm Superuse Studios has found a creative solution to the problem. The company works in up-cycling all kinds of previously used products to create new and beautiful architecture and design projects. It has jumped on the wind turbine issue and used the materials to enhance public spaces.
In Rotterdam municipality, the Netherlands, Superuse Studios has built ReWind, an installation of public benches made out of refurbished wind blades in Willemsplein public square. The installation is made of nine previously used blades connected by 100 per cent reused concrete blocks. It's both aesthetically pleasing and functional. It can be easily dismantled to use the square for other purposes and creates an iconic look for the city's public transportation hub.
The wind turbines have also been put to use by the studio to build Wikado playground in Oude Noorden, Rotterdam. The structure uses the interiors of the blades as towers and tunnels while the thinner pieces are used as climbing structures. The structures are connected by bridges and climbing nets to create a maze-like design for maximum fun.
The already durable material of wind turbine blades makes them great resources for building structures that will hold up against bad weather conditions. Their variety of size and shape can be used to create visually diverse installations for different public needs.
Other options for retired blades include reselling them for reuse where wind energy has yet to spread its wings. Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia are the most popular buyers with the draw of previously used turbines costing 40 per cent less than new ones. The other popular solution is to cut down the blades to manageable size to create other products such as floor tiles.
With the first generation of 1980s turbines coming to the end of their lifespan to be replaced by the bigger better ones, proper avenues for reusing the product will have to be taken in order to maintain their environmentally sustainable reputation.

'Tua Is Our Starter': Dolphins Brass Gives Tagovailoa Vote Of Confidence After Up-&-Down Rookie Season
By Jim Berry January 5, 2021 at 6:10 pm
Filed Under:Jim Berry, Local TV, Miami Dolphins, Miami News, Tua Tagovailoa
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – After an up-and-down rookie season, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has received a vote of confidence from his head coach and general manager.
The Miami Dolphins believe Tagovailoa is their guy, and they expect him to start next season.
However, he may still get pushed to prove that he deserves to keep the job.
The dust is still settling from a disappointing finish, but overall encouraging 2020.
Fins GM Chris Grier and Head Coach Brian Flores spoke briefly on Tuesday about the team's step forward this season.
The defense was solid, helping a very young team won 10 games and just barely missing the playoffs.
And Tagovailoa, their QB of the future, got his feet wet and won six of nine starts.
"We'll take it one day at a time and we'll try to get better every day and we won't leave any stone unturned," Flores said. "We'll do everything possible to bring results to the fan base, to the people in our organization, and that's important to us. That's something we talk about on a daily basis."

Tagovailoa, on Tuesday, gave Miami fans a social media shout out, promising brighter days ahead.
His struggles over the last few weeks had some wonder if the fins ought to draft another QB.
Grier and Flores believe in roster battles, but it's also clear they believe in Tagovailoa.
"History has shown it doesn't matter who it is – you're always looking to bring in guys that fit your system and that will push people and make them better, and so competition at every position. We talked about that last year when we were going through it. It's competition at every position, so yeah," said Grier. "But I also want to be clear that Tua is our starter and we're very happy with his development so far."

Q: C++ cin from a file unspaced numbers In c++ how do i cin a file of numbers that are not spaced into an array?
For instance 78940725450327458 how could i get those numbers to be placed so that list[0] = 7, list[1] = 8, list[2] = 9 and so on.

A: std::vector<int> numList;

while(std::cin) {
    char c;
    std::cin >> c;
    if(std::cin.eof())
        break;
    if(c < '0' || c > '9') {
        // handle error
    }
    numList.push_back(c - '0');
}

A: Make list an array of chars.
cin >> list[0] will then read a single character.

A: I would suggest you to read all the line into int variable and then do the loop with something like this:
int temp = a % 10;

this will give you last number everytime, be sure to update original number after that and last thing to do is to put it into array, so thats the easy part.

A: There are many ways to do this. I'd probably do something like the following:
#include <algorithm>
#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>

int ascii2int(int value) // this could be a lambda instead
{
    return value - '0';
}

int main()
{
    std::vector<int> nums;
    std::ifstream input("euler8Nums.txt");
    if (input)
    {
        // read character digits into vector<int>
        nums.assign(std::istream_iterator<char>(input), std::istream_iterator<char>());
        // transform ascii '0'..'9' to integer 0..9
        std::transform(nums.begin(), nums.end(), nums.begin(), ascii2int);
    }

    // your code here

    return 0;
}
