Col. David Hunt: US Lost 14 SOLDIERS Searching for Deserter Bowe Bergdahl (Video)
Published June 3, 2014 at 12:22am
Free at Last – SGT Bowe Bergdahl Released
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was released by the Taliban Saturday in a prisoner swap.
Bergdahl was the only living POW held by the Taliban. He was captured by the Taliban in 2009 in Afghanistan.
Colonel David Hunt told Bill O'Reilly tonight that Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter.
"Bowe Bergdahl was a deserter. Bergdahl on June 20, 2009 crawled underneath a wire at his fire base with water, food, a change of clothes, a knife and a cell phone. He called his unit the day after he deserted to tell his unit he deserted… Bill, we lost 14 soldiers, killed, searching for a deserter. He left his unit in combat. It's non-arguable… We don't know yet if he joined the Taliban or not. But, there's no question he deserted.
There were already reports of at least five US heroes who were lost looking for Bowe Bergdahl:

Many others from various units were wounded or killed while actively looking for Bergdahl.


The new owners of two parlor floor apartments are hoping to combine the units, but aren't sure what might be a realistic budget. They are planning on doing a gut renovation with an architect and applicable permitting. What rough cost per square foot range should they be prepared to face?

Why 'work longer' isn't great retirement advice
It's things like this—the decades-long trend of companies shifting the finances of retirement off their balance sheets and onto the backs of their workers—that mean millions have to keep working whether they'd like to or not. However, notes a sweeping report by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank, "many face barriers to working longer and lack access to decent jobs with decent pay. Older workers who cannot afford to retire often face diminishing job quality and earnings as a result of loss of bargaining power."

The fact that this figure hasn't changed since 2009 (in spite of record-high inflation) caused wages to reach their lowest real value (when accounting for inflation) in 66 years, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

Midterms Voters Turned Out for Progressive Economic Solutions
In this year's midterm elections, voters showed a strong level of support for progressive ballot measures across the country. These victories were tempered by the defeat of worthwhile ballot measures in some states and the uncertainty of progress under a divided Congress. Nonetheless, voters across the country approved minimum wage increases, protected access to abortion, supported cannabis legalization, and approved measures to increase housing affordability and promote good union jobs.
Though much work remains to be done to enact a progressive economic agenda, this midterm election showed clear signs of support for a policy agenda that prioritizes economic, racial, and gender justice for working families.

Tech layoffs may give U.S. IT workers opportunities
The Wall Street Journal hosted a panel discussion that featured two advocates who favor expanding the H-1B program and one critic who urges major reforms. The advocates, David Bier, the Cato Institute's immigration studies associate director, and Theresa Cardinal Brown, the Bipartisan Policy Center's managing director of immigration and cross-border policy, argued that the H-1B visa cap should be increased and that their labor market presence makes America a more prosperous place.
The critic, Dr. Ron Hira, Howard University, political science associate professor and Economic Policy Institute research associate, countered that the rigged H-1B system is a transfer-of-wealth scam that makes the employers wealthy winners, and the workers, low-wage losers. Dr. Hira added that employers aren't required to prove that a U.S. worker shortage exists before hiring an H-1B, that H-1B workers' wages are set too low, and that the compliance system doesn't hold employers accountable. "Guest-worker programs are supposed to fill domestic labor shortages. The H-1B program does not fill shortages," Dr. Hira said.

Gig companies pledge to help end hunger in the U.S. Some of their workers can't afford the food they deliver.
There is evidence that gig workers are more likely than other service-sector workers to experience hunger firsthand. In spring 2020, nearly one in five (19%) gig workers went hungry, compared to 14% of other service-sector workers, according to a national study by the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank. Twice the rate of gig workers (30%) as W-2 employees in the service sector (15%) relied on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) — the public benefit once known as food stamps — within a month of the survey, according to the study. (W-2 refers to the tax form employees use to report their income.)

Votes for the Minimum Wage Amendment in Nevada are still being tallied. But if it is approved, the minimum wage would rise to $12 per hour by 2024, up from $9.50 or $10.50 per hour, depending on health insurance benefits. Ben Zipperer, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, said these results align with past state and local efforts, noting that raising the minimum wage is "an extremely popular policy initiative."

Q: How To Graph This Hopf Oscillator I tried using Wolfram to accomplish this with no success.
The equation for an oscillator i is:
$$\dot x_i = \alpha(\mu - r^2_i)x_i - w_iy_i$$
$$\dot y_i = \beta(\mu - r^2_i)y_i - w_ix_i$$
$$w_i = \frac{w_{stance}}{e^{-by}+1} + \frac{w_{swing}}{e^{by}+1}$$
$$where\quad r_i = \sqrt{x_i^2 + y_i^2},\sqrt\mu\ \ is\ the \ amplitude;\ w_i\ is\ the\ frequency;\ w_{stance},\ w_{swing}\ are\ durations;\ and\ \alpha,\beta,b\ are\ constants.$$
The paper these equations were taken from can be found here.
I would appreciate an explanation of how the the frequency can be determined by a non-constant value i.e. when $w_{stance} = 2w_{swing}$, $w_i$ looks like a sigmoid function.
Also, my current understanding of oscillators is limited to sine waves. Please compare the oscillator described above to a sine wave i.e. which part of the equation is the phase, offset.
It seems bizarre to me that the frequency is ultimately subtracted from the amplitude. Please describe in layman's terms how this works.

How much does the golf ball matter? No, not what brand of golf ball you're using – they're all basically the same. It just depends on whose marketing plan sounds best to you when you choose which golf balls to play with. But, that's something for another edition of Golf Improvement Weekly.
Does A Better PLAN or Better Ball Striking Produce Better Scores?
Why is it that on the first tee you can always tell who's a Player and who's struggling with inconsistency. I mean even before this Golfer swings to hit the golf ball – you can tell how good a shot they're going to make. The Player just has this look about him/her – they reek of confidence that tells you that they're a Player that's going to hit a beautiful shot – to the point that even if you're not in this Player's group, you stop everything you're doing just to watch them swing. Can you picture that scenario? And I'm not talking about how they dress. It has nothing to do with their clothes – but more to do with their actions.
Do You Have A Consistent Ball Flight?
Slicers and Hookers – get ready to be happy!
What is consistency? Consistency doesn't mean that your golf swing has to be so perfect that you hit the golf ball straight every time you swing. Here's a better way to understand what a consistent golf swing is really about — a consistent golf swing allows you to hit the golf ball in one direction about nine times out of ten swings. It's being able to take one side of the golf course out of play (either the right side or the left side).


At the EU debate, the former Chancellor George Osborne claimed that "the value of homes in the UK could fall by as much as 18% following a Brexit vote."
Osborne envisages that "based on the average price of a home in the UK, the average residential property could fall in value by more than £50,000 within two years of the vote, in comparison to what it would be if the UK stayed in the EU".
"The number of homes currently been built remains significantly below the government's target of 200,000 new homes a year ...the UK has missed its housebuilding targets by a staggering 1,199,180 since 2004", according to reports by PropertyInvestorTODAY.
Based on latest house building data from the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee, "residential construction levels are actually falling: down by 3.2% in May- the biggest drop since February 2014".
"The Brexit decision and the uncertainty it creates around the prospects for private sector housebuilders, not to mention the country's economic outlook, is likely to heighten the housing crisis.
"The longer we leave the supply crisis to worsen, the more difficult it will be to resolve. The UK has failed to build the number of homes needed to meet demand year after year, which has consequently inflated prices and made it even more difficult for those looking to buy."


As EBC's flagship street brake pad material for prestige and faster cars above 200BHP, the 09 version of EBC Redstuff Brake pads sets new standards in brake performance. Redstuff brake pads have always been known for its low dust ability but the latest blend has greatly reduced the phenomenon of pad "Pick up" or disc scoring and reduced dust even further. Tested at the UK Motor Industries Research Association (MIRA) in witnessed tests early Redstuff reduced car stopping distance in tests by almost 50 feet from 100 MPH offering a staggering 30% brake improvement.
Redstuff is only available for heavier and faster cars and does find its self at its best on slightly heavier cars or Truck and SUV applications. Selecting the right grade of EBC pad for you car, truck or SUV is important.
Brake dust has been rated by many OEM builders to be a more serious source of complaints than even brake squeal and as such EBC Brakes is proud to bring you with this new EBC Redstuff blend what is probably a world first in a pad that is almost dust free yet delivers performance braking. Less dust also means less rotor wear and it is almost guaranteed that your rotors will last double as long as when used with the more abrasive steel fibre brake compounds used by almost all of our competition.


More and more new parents are trusting the innate intelligence of the body. They're looking for a professional who can partner with them, supply information, coach, encourage and use natural approaches to honor both mom and baby.
At first glance, many people do not see the connection between chiropractic care and pregnancy. However, there are several stages in which having optimal structural support and a functioning nervous system help both mom and baby.
Chiropractic adjustments are safe through all stages of pregnancy and can be modified to ensure the most comfortable and effective treatment. Regular chiropractic care during pregnancy helps maintain balance, spinal and pelvic alignment, and flexibility. This is especially important as the body grows, becomes more elastic and develops to make more room for baby and reduce discomfort for mom. When the baby is able to move around and get comfortable, he or she can settle into the optimal birthing position. Many moms also report less morning sickness while under chiropractic care.
Moms who get adjusted have been shown to require less high-tech intervention during labor. When the hips and the spine maintain proper alignment and flexibility from chiropractic care, the body is better able to adjust to the movements of the baby during the birthing process. Many even report shorter and less traumatic births.
It's not uncommon to have more spine or hip pain after pregnancy and birth. As the body heals, maintaining correct alignment is crucial for the body to heal properly. This is also true as the strain of picking up and holding your newborn can trigger new injuries. Structural strength and flexibility will help reduce the risk of future injury.
Even natural births can stress the baby's spine. Breastfeeding problems can arise if the baby is unable to comfortably turn its head. Chiropractic adjustments for your newborn require much less energy and force than that of an adult. The pressure is about the same as the pressure needed to test the ripeness of a tomato.
Schedule a consultation first to ensure all of your questions are answered before beginning chiropractic care for mom or baby. As a patient, you should always be educated in your condition and the condition of your child before any care is given. This is true for all medical practices, so come prepared with questions.


How water improves brain function.
Last year, I decided I had become immune to the effects of coffee. I would drink cup after cup of coffee, but no matter how many cups I brewed, I still felt like my brain was in a fog. Then I remembered water. You know how I was drinking coffee to wake up my brain, concentrate, and get energized for the day? Turns out, I was drinking the wrong thing! I should have been drinking water. Yep, good ole' H2O.
Water = Better Brain Function!
Water is crucial when it comes to our brains. Did you know our brains are around 75% water? Brain cells need a healthy balance of water to their job efficiently because neurons need water for electrical transmission - aka: for our brain to work. Water also carries nutrients to the brain and helps flush out the unwanted toxins. So, it makes sense that when it comes to optimal brain function, we need to stay hydrated.
Remembering to drink water throughout the day keeps us alert and maintains healthy brain function. Staying hydrated is also a great way to prevent headaches. No one has time for a headache.
Tips On How to Drink More Water Each Day!
- Drink water as part of your morning routine! We lose water while we sleep through our sweat and breath vapor. So, before that first cup of coffee, drink a cup of water.
- Throughout the day, when you have the urge to snack, drink a glass of water first. Sometimes when we're thirsty, our mind registers it as hunger.
- Drink water before each meal - this helps to improve digestion.
Once again, the major take away: drink water. Your brain will thank you.

J.Evans is a cafe that used to have a previous life as a Welsh grocery shop. Located in Fitzrovia, an affluent area of central London, on the corner of Warren Street and Conway Street. The Grade II listed building was built in 1793 it still retains much of it's original signage (although you can see it's starting to fade) and it's rich blue tiles (cira 1916). One of my only paintings to depict human life (shadow inside).
Before supermarkets came along, London became home to many Welshmen who set up dairy businesses due to hard times in Wales. Cows were even kept on premises in central London and many dairies were located close to Marylebone Station which links it to Paddington Station and the West. Until quite recently, many early morning trains were in fact called 'milk trains'!
London is home to the oldest and largest Welsh community outside of Wales. By 1900 it is estimated that half of all dairies in the capital were Welsh. Unfortunately none exist now in London.

One of the most important things to consider when planning a wedding is making sure your guests are well informed about when and where the festivities are taking place. Wedding maps are an important part of keeping your guests up to date with all the right details. Wedding maps can include just a map or they can include directions. You can even skip the map and just provide wedding direction cards, which feature instructions only. Wedding maps and wedding direction cards are both very helpful since map engines can vary in accuracy. Providing a map and/or directions gives you peace of mind that guests will have exactly what they need to find your wedding venues.
Map cards are just one of many enclosures we offer in designs to match our wedding invitations. Your wedding invitations will more than likely need response cards. Most invitations are available with a matching response card. If not, shop the entire collection of response cards and you're bound to find a design that coordinates beautifully with your invitation ensemble.
You may also want reception cards to coordinate with your wedding invitations. If the invitation you choose isn't available with a matching reception card, be sure to shop our entire collection. We're confident you'll find something you love.

Many studies demonstrate that the food we eat has an important impact on our planet and highlight the importance of integrating more sustainable food in our diets. Although changing eating habits is far from easy, everyone can make his contribution by reducing his consumption of animal products – be it only once a week. That doesn't imply everyone has to become a vegetarian and has to abandon animal products completely, but gradually rebalancing diets by including more plant-based food is a good start.
One of the initiatives that ENSA particularly supports is "meat-free days" or "Veggie days", which have been introduced across various cities in Europe. The idea is to voluntarily refrain from eating animal-based products one day a week in schools, restaurants and hotels. In some cities, such as Ghent in Belgium, the initiative is supported by an awareness campaign. Veggie days have been a proven success and demonstrate that gradual, voluntary adjustments supported by local governments can help improve the eating habits of citizens and lead to benefits on a global scale.

Q: Angular 2 page size I am just getting started with Angular 2. It actually makes me think about the size of the page just for the Hello World.
Please look at the scripts which were actually needed and it already is 1.75 MB.

Offcourse with minification it would reduce 30-35% approximately.
Yet it would still be above 1 MB just for this junk Hello World type application. Adding bootstrap CSS / Jquery / Jquery UI at the minimal would take it even further plus add images depending upon the web application type.
Question is 1.75 MB of script without writing a single line of code pertaining to the application.
Is this the new web standard to make the page size on an average above 4-5 MB?

A: There are several strategies that will reduce the total size of your site.

*

*Enable gzip compression for your assets. Most text files (like JS files) compress very well due to lots of strings that get repeated.

*Use the minimised versions of libraries, as you identified.

*Use CDN references to 3rd party libraries if possible. That way, the user may already have the file in their cache and don't need to refetch it. Some CDNs also support HTTP/2, meaning that more files can be requested in parallel.

*Take advantage of the Ahead-Of-Time compilation (AOT, a.k.a. offline compilation) in Angular 2 RC 5, and swap to using the version of Angular 2 without the compiler. That saves about half of the size of the Angular 2 library file.

*Use HTTP/2 yourself for your assets, and refer to each JS file individually, rather than bundling it. That way, if they haven't changed, the user won't need to download them again when they reload. And the first time, all the files can be fetched in parallel.

*Use conditional comments or server side processing to remove the shims and other JS files that are only relevant to certain browsers like IE. That way, other browsers don't download those useless scripts.

*Use something like Rollup or another tool that can do "tree shaking" to remove unused code.

There are probably other ways to save even more, but this is a good starting point.

A: Angular2 is going to get smaller in smaller now. See ngconf about this. Its mainly result of tree-shaking minification (loading only code, that really used).
Angular 2 seed project, wich in prod build loads with ~300kb is already available for use.

On the Hook replied to Fishbowl836's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
You did not say if you use the motor to troll or just to get from one spot to the other. If you mostly troll, you can't beat an Etec. I have a 115 on my boat and it trolls all day long with no issues so far in 4 years. The Etec is going to weigh less than most 4 strokes if weight is an issue. You also can't beat the winterization process and less maintenance costs.
Alex that is a nice Walleye. That's on my bucket list for that lake. Probably catch one when I don't try to target them.
Yes, l got him on a green flasher fly setup. I forgot the name of the Spin Doctor, but it is green with white tape and green dots and was on the 1st hole. The fly was an green Atomic fly.
We fished yesterday (8/20) until the rec boaters got bad around noon. We got about a few Lakers on green flashers and flies on dipsy down about 100' or so. First time using my wire dipsy setups. Fished straight down the middle of the lake. Got a few Silvers on GLT 44's around mid- lake before it was too hard with the rec boaters around. Got this big boy in the picture waiting to go the smoker this morning for my lunch today.
Today was slow. Most of the marks were down 100 ft with a few sporadic ones mixed in the water column. Trolled about 7 hours and got skunked. The only good news is fleas were not bad.
Any Owasco reports lately? Haven't seen many reports lately from Owasco. Heading up there Sunday (8/6) and wondered if anybody has had any luck lately. Will post a report after my trip.
Owasco 7/2 We started out thinking we could launch out of South Shore Marina, but water was almost covering his docks. The right side of the ramp is closed and just the short dock is open, but was not sure about launching there, so we headed to Emerson Park. Water was up in the outlet but we were able to launch just fine. The current coming back to the docks is strong so take that into account when docking. Went 8 for 9 on the day, all Lakers. Got a double right by Burris Point, both about 6lbs. Trolled the west side and picked up a few here and there. Got nothing on the east side. Fleas are bad right now and we got into them all over. The hot spoon for us today was GLT 44 with blue stripe on it. First time we used Offshore Pro Mag planer boards and I really like them they get the line way away from the boat and allowed to comfortable put another line on a smaller planer board next to it. We hung 10 colors of leadcore and a torpedo weight off of them and they tracked great. They run low in the water and can be tricky detecting a fish on. They pull hard but a 9 ft Ugly Stick handled it fine. 7 of the fish today came off the Pro Mag planer boards so it's something we have to keep in the program. Largest fish of the day was 9lbs.
Started in the south end around 7:30 and started off with gold and orange spoons and got nothing. Switched out mid lake to GL 44 spoon and a FLT Pink Alewife and ended the day 23 for 25. Five color leadcore on planer boards and torpedo divers down 60. These two will go on the smoker tomorrow, the biggest being 9lbs according to my scale.
I will be there tomorrow. I was looking to go Sunday but looks like the wind will stir up the waves. First time this year I have been able to get on this lake.
I was not too far behind you and had the same results. Just one bow.
Thanks for the update. How was the water level at the launch?
Finger lakes tackle. who is owed money.
I have caught a lot of fish on his spoons. I also did not have my order filled last Fall, but paid with PayPal. I took someone's suggestion and wrote a negative review on his FLT Facebook page. My one star review knocked his ratings down from a 4.6 to a 4.5, so if more people write a negative review it may help other customers from buying from him. Won't help to get your money back, but might help stop him from filling up his wallet more.
I-81 North through Binghamton construction update This for those of you that travel from PA and NJ. If you are traveling 81 North through Binghamton, by the end of April it will be down to one lane. They are putting a temporary bridge up as they rebuild one of the overpasses. Traffic will be backed up real bad during the day. Traffic may not be too bad during the early morning hours. Not sure when this new overpass will be completed. Here is an alternative route: Take Exit 2W to Route 11. Route 11 will turn into Court St. At the 5th red light, take a right onto Broad Ave. At the 3rd red light, make a left onto Bevier St. At the 5th red light, take a right on to Front St and in a ¼ mile take the entrance to 81 North. If traffic is really backed up, you can take Exit 1 off of 81 North. At the bottom of the exit, make a left on to Cederhurst Rd. Then ¼ mile up the road, make a left on to exit for Route 11 North. At the bottom of the exit, make a right on to Route 11. Go about 5 miles on Route 11, which will turn into Court St. At the 5th red light, take a right onto Broad Ave. At the 3rd red light, make a left onto Bevier St. At the 5th red light, take a right on to Front St and in a ¼ mile take the entrance to 81 North. At this point 81 South through Binghamton will have 2 lanes, but it looks like they may be having everyone exit off the highway and go through Binghamton to get back on 81 South. That will be a real nightmare when that happens. I will update you with an alternative route when they start that project.

This seems primitive but I have never had a problem. Top up when you think it needs it. Some would shudder at this but works for me.

SYFY to air Ian Ziering's 'Zombie Tidal Wave' from 'Sharknado' Director
Sarah Fox	June 26, 2019
Slanted > TV > SYFY to air Ian Ziering's 'Zombie Tidal Wave' from 'Sharknado' Director
SYFY is chumming the waters for Ian Ziering's new movie "Zombie Tidal Wave." The event is part of SYFY's "Off the Deep End Weekend," which starts on August 17th and runs through August 17th. The weekend features SYFY's shark movies, including the entire "Sharknado" franchise which stars Ziering. The big premiere is the new SYFY Original Movie, though it has zombies and not sharks.
The network promoted the special weekend adding, "Shark Week and SharkFest may have churned the waters but SYFY is turning the tide and going off the deep end with a fintastic frenzy of shark-themed original movies…plus a dose of zombies for good measure!"
"Shark Week" is airing first, set to begin on July 28th and swims through August 4th on the Discovery Channel. This year, retired Marine Rob Riggle hosts the event with celebrity friends Anthony Anderson, Adam Devine, Damon Wayans Jr., and Joel McHale.
"I'm a huge Shark Week fan and can't wait to dive back into the water with the oceans most magnificent creatures. It's going to be an epic 'Shark Trip' with some of my best buddies," said Rob Riggle.
Last year, "Shark Week" reached 34.9M total viewers across Total Day. The week also garnered 3.5 million streams across all Discovery GO (DGO) digital platforms.
If you want to set a reminder for "Zombie Tidal Wave," the SYFY Original airs on August 17th. According to the network, the movie features a zombie-slinging tidal wave that hits a small town. "Sharknado" director Anthony C. Ferrante helmed the project, with Ian Ziering also serving as a producer and star.
The SYFY weekend includes "Sharknado," "Sharknado 2: The Second One," "Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!," "Sharknado: The 4th Awakens," "Sharknado 5: Global Swarming," "The Last Sharknado: It's About Time." Outside of the "Sharknado" franchise, viewers can catch "Zombie Shark," "Sharktopus," "Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda," "Atomic Shark," "Dam Sharks," "5-Headed Shark," "6-Headed Shark," "Frenzy," and "Megalodon."

A kereskedelmi útvonalaktól távol helyezkedik el.

Mint a legtöbb gázbolygó, belseje magból és három további rétegből áll. A mag sugara 6000 km, ez szilárd fémből áll. A következő réteg 22 000 km folyékony rethenből áll. Ilyen mélységben a rethen annyira tömör, hogy folyékony halmazállapotban is fémre hasonlít. A következő rethen réteg 30 000 km vastag és nem annyira fémes. A hőmérséklet forró. E fölött helyezkedik el a mintegy 1000 km vastag felhőréteg.

A felhőréteg alján, ahol érintkezik a folyékony rethen tengerrel, a hőmérséklet eléri a 6000 fokot. A világűrtől számított 150 km-es mélységben kezdődik a lakható zóna, ami 30 km mély. Itt megfelelő a hőmérséklet, az oxigén mennyisége és a nyomás az emberi élet számára.

Ebben a magasságban hozták létre Felhővárost, a tibanna gázt kitermelő kolóniát.

A bolygó veszélyességét a heves viharok jelentik.

A gázbolygók többségével ellentétben, amiket többnyire nem éri meg kolonizálni, a Bespin kivételt jelent: rózsaszín felhőiben az értékes tibanna gáz található.

Élővilága
A bolygón több őshonos faj található, amik közül egyik sem intelligens. Ezek között vannak a beldonok, a velkerek, a glowerek és a pinkek. A levegőben számos betelepített faj él, mint például az Alderaanról származó thranták.

A felhők között foszforeszkáló algák és hatalmas, beldonnak nevezett gerincesek élnek, amik néhány tudós szerint a tibanna gázt termelik. A beldonokra éles fogú ragadozók, velkerek vadásznak. A rawwk-ok denevérszerű dögevők, amik állítólag hálóhelynek elfoglalják az elhagyott bányászállomásokat.

A thrantákat a turisták számára szédítő mutatványok bemutatására használják.

Felhőváros mellett a látogatók néha felkeresik Tibannapolist is, a Klónháborúk során elhagyott, lebegő platformot, és az Ughnaught Felszínt, amit azért építettek, hogy az ughnaughtokat Gentesre, a szülőbolygójukra emlékeztesse.

Történelme

A gázbányászati kitermelőhelyek közül a legismertebb a Felhőváros komplexum, ami Lando Calrissian irányítása alatt állt, aki az irányítás jogát egy szerencsejátékon nyerte el. Bár a Galaktikus polgárháború során a Birodalom elfoglalta a Felhővárost, de a császár bukása után is viszonylagos szabadságot élvezett.

Felhővárost Ecclessis Figg, "külső Javin kereskedőmestere" építette azzal a szándékkal, hogy a légkörben található tibanna gázt a hiperhajtóművekhez hűtőközegként használják fel.

Valójában Figg a gázt robbanóanyagként szerette volna felhasználni, de hogy ne keltse fel a Bányászcéh figyelmét (ami a profitját veszélyeztette volna), a bányászati létesítményeket elegáns üdülőhelyként álcázta. Az álcázás annyira jól sikerült, hogy a turizmus önmagában is jelentős hasznot hozott.

Felhőváros és Lando Calrissian praktikái veszélybe kerültek, amikor Boba Fett egészen idáig követte a Millennium Falcont, őutána pedig Darth Vader következett, aki Luke Skywalkert szerette volna foglyul ejteni, Han Solót használva csalinak.

Lando Calrissian kényes helyzetbe került, amikor Darth Vader utasítására korábbi barátját, Han Solót csapdába kellett csalnia. Később azonban lelkiismerete szerint segített Han Solónak és társainak a szökésben.

Luke és Darth Vader párbajoznak, aminek során Luke-nak levágják az egyik karját, beleesik egy szemétledobóba, aminek alján, Felhőváros alatt egy kézzel kapaszkodik. Innen Leia Organa irányításával megmentik (aki megérzi, hogy Luke életveszélyben van).

Később Darth Vader egy birodalmi helyőrséget létesít itt, de a stabilitás az endori csatáig nem állt helyre. Az Új Köztársaság alatt a vezetést a helyi ughnaughtok kezébe adták, a továbbiakban Lando Calrissian csak az adminisztratív feladatokat látta el.

Megjelenése a filmekben
A Birodalom visszavág és A jedi visszatér című filmekben jelenik meg.

A Birodalom visszavág készítésének korai szakaszában a Bespin nevei Katbrae, majd "Kettlebrae, a gázbolygó" voltak.

Egy érdekes elképzelés szerint a bolygó egy elrejtő eszköz alkalmazása következtében nem lett volna látható a világűrből. Ebben a kidolgozási fázisban a bolygót egy értelmes faj lakta volna (a whatnot-ok), amik a légkörben lebegő hatalmas bálnákon utaznak. Az író/rendező George Lucas régóta szerette volna ezeket a lebegő bálnákat megmutatni valamelyik Csillagok háborúja filmben. A bespini bálnák átkerültek a A jedi visszatér vázlataiba, mint szállítóeszközök, amit később Jabba levegőben úszó bárkájára cseréltek. A bálnák a Baljós árnyakban mint a gungan hadsereg alkotóelemei szerepeltek volna, végül A klónok támadásában jelentek meg.

Q: Trouble with links to symbol pages generated by Wolfram Workbench I am having some troubles with documentation generated by wolfram workbench. When i try to open symbol page created with workbench by pressing F1 I get a search page instead of my symbol page. When I try to open page with make template (Ctr+Shift+K) I get the message that the page does not exist, even though I can find it through search.
My guess is that page is not linked with symbol, but I don't know why it happens. Is there any way to fix it ?
UPD:
My Mathematica version is 9;
By using Ctr+Shift+K i mean this:

The message with will show up only if notebook was launched with workbench, in other cases Mathematica will just ignore this attempt.
If I set PackletInfo.m like this:
    Paclet[
      Name -> "TheoryOfComputation",
      Version -> "1.0.0",
      MathematicaVersion -> "9+",
      Description -> "Theory of Computation package",
      Creator -> "Me",
      Extensions -> {
      {
        "Kernel",
        Context -> {"TheoryOfComputation`"}
      },
      { "Documentation",
        Resources-> {"Guides/TheoryOfComputation"},
        Language -> "English",
        MainPage->"Guides/TheoryOfComputation",
        LinkBase->"TheoryOfComputation"
      }
   }]

I can type something like MyPackage`MySymbol, press F1 and this works fine. But with this i can't use function templates. Also, typing MySymbol and pressing F1 leads to search page again, even thought result of ?MySymbol have link to documentation page

A: Make sure you have a PacletInfo.m file in
AddOns/Applications/YourPackage/PacketInfo.m
The file should be something like:
Paclet[
    Name -> "YourPackageName",
    Version -> "9.0.0",
    MathematicaVersion -> "9+",
    Extensions ->
        {
            {"Documentation", Language -> All, MainPage -> "Guides/YourGudePage"}
        }
]

Then run (not sure if this is really needed)
PacletManager`RebuildPacletData[]

Then the links should work. If you create your package with Workbench you can double click the file and a PacletInfo editor will open.
Hope this helps.

What Are DAOs And Why You Should Pay Attention
Cathy Hackl
I'm a tech futurist & speaker with expertise in AR VR & the Metaverse.
Can you imagine a way of organizing with other people around the world, without knowing each other and establishing your own rules, and making your own decisions autonomously all encoded on a Blockchain? Well, DAOs are making this real.
Wikipedia defines DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) as an organization represented by rules encoded as a transparent computer program, controlled by the organization members, and not influenced by a central government. As the rules are embedded into the code, no managers are needed, thus removing any bureaucracy or hierarchy hurdles.
Some of today's internet users and the next generations are looking forward to starting social organizations, searching for an answer to: "How can we exchange values in a trusted environment?" Blockchain enables automated trusted transactions and value exchanges, but even so, internet users around the world want to organize themselves in a "Safe and effective way to work with like-minded folks, around the globe", according to Ethereum
Bitcoin is generally considered to be the first fully functional DAO, as it has programmed rules, functions autonomously, and is coordinated through a consensual protocol. Of course, not every DAO has been as successful as Bitcoin. In May 2016, German startup slock.it launched the creatively named "The DAO" in support of their decentralized version of Airbnb. At the time it was a great success with a crowdfunding campaign that raised over $150 million worth of Ethereum.
Unfortunately, the code they used in the DAO had certain issues. So inevitably in June 2016 hackers managed to siphon off $50 million worth of Ethereum from the DAO before it was stopped. Even though the fault was in the slock.it code and not in the underlying technology, the hack did undermined some people's trust in both the Ethereum coin and DAOs in general.

But today, due to the explosion of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) during 2020, has led to a rise in renewed interest in DAOs. Now that you have a better idea of what DAOs are, it is important to understand more about their background and characteristics to appreciate the whole picture of what is turning traditional forms of organizing upside down.
What Makes DAOs Different?
Blockchain network concept.
A DAO's financial transactions and rules are recorded on a blockchain. This eliminates the need to involve a third party in a financial transaction, simplifying those transactions through smart contracts. The firmness of a DAO is a smart contract. The smart contract represents the rules of the organization and holds the Organization's storage. No one can edit the rules without people noticing, because DAOs are transparent and public. Up to today we are used to companies backed by legal status, a DAO may perfectly function without it as it can be structured as a general partnership.
In comparison to traditional companies, DAOs have a democratized organization. All the members of a DAO need to vote for any changes to be implemented, instead of implemented changes by a sole party (depending on the company's structure). The funding of DAOs is mainly based on crowdfunding that issues tokens. The governance of DAOs is based on community, while traditional companies' governance is mostly based on executives, Board of Directors, activist investors. etc. DAOs' operations are fully transparent and global, meanwhile, traditional companies' operations are private, only the organization know what is happening, and they are not always global.
Fully Functional DAOs
DAOs are picking up steam
DAOs need the following elements for being fully functional: A set of rules to which will operate, a funding like tokens that the organization can spend to reward certain activities to their members, and also to provide voting rights for establishing the operation rules. Also, and most important, is a well and secure structure that allows every investor to configure the organization.
One potential problem with the voting system is that even if a security hole was spotted in its initial code, it can't be corrected until the majority votes on it. While the voting process takes place, hackers can make use of a bug in the hole of the code.
How Are DAOs Being Used Today?

So far DAOs are being used for many purposes such as investment, charity, fundraising, borrowing, or buying NFTs, all without intermediaries. So you can have a better idea, for example, a DAO can accept donations from anyone around the world and the members can decide how to spend donations.
Can you imagine being a co-owner of an Artist's song by just using cryptocurrency on an internet-based organization? In May 2021, Jenny DAO acquired its first NFT, an original song of Steve Aoki and 3LAU. This DAO is a metaverse organization that provides fractional ownership of NFTs. Its members will be able to oversee the purchase of the NFTs and Unicly protocol's smart contracts control the vault where these NFTs will be added.
The Metaverse Is Changing Business As We Know It
3d rendering of abstract Blockchain concept
DAOs envision a collective organization owned and managed by its members with all of them having a voice. Many analysts and industry insiders affirm that this type of organization is coming to prominence, even potentially replacing some traditional companies.
Businesses and brands need to stay abreast of current trends that could impact how they engage with consumers and how consumers interact with them. While DAOs are not ubiquitous yet, they do seem to be picking up steam with many creators.


5/30/17 – An estimated 700-thousand Wisconsinites are home from their Memorial Day weekend travels, but it was a mess for drivers in the Portage area. The state D-O-T reported backups of ten miles on southbound Interstate 39/90/94, as motorists slowed down for a construction project which had all its lanes open. Officials said there were delays of 25 minutes on the freeway during a peak traffic time of around three p-m. At least nine people died in Wisconsin highway crashes during the weekend. Four people from Eau Claire and Medford died Saturday in a crash near Cornell, three young people were killed in a crash near Burlington, a Hayward woman was killed in a two-vehicle mishap in Saint Croix County, and one man died near Sharon.
