Garage door opening by itself. Phantom Opening.
Garage door opening by itself. Woke up bright early morning few days ago and found garage door open. Family and I got really scared. Thank God, Every night I check the door leading to the garage is locked. And today, door is opening and closing incessantly. Had to pull the plug off and disconnect the backup battery to get it to stop. My son is in wheelchair and I need to use the garage door on a daily basis. Garage door opener was installed only a year and half ago. Will Chamberlain cover this under warranty ?. I have called the garage door technician that installed it to come and take a look tomorrow.
Created/registered an account and still cannot get into the link http://bit.ly/2CCWpiN . Chamerberlain could you put a link that public can get in and fix their garage door problems that open by itself - without an account?
I had a phantom opening last night. I was asleep and heard my phone notification go off. Got up to check and my garage door was wide open. Thought something else might be going on only to find this has been a common problem.
My HD900D is opening randomly either over night or during the day for no apparent reason. I have checked all connections and they are all tight or reseated in the clamp. Do I need a new logic PCB? This is not a App/internet opener.
Its pretty sad that the only thing you offer is reprogram your opener and check for stuck buttons, there is something fundamentally wrong obviously. I am an engineer so I followed the reprogramming instructions, that went fine. I also was curious about interference to the opener's receiver causing this. (Older HD900D). So i took a walk and 5-6 houses later I could still open the door. There is no need for that much range. I also have a radio background, and the antenna does not need to be almost 2 foot long. I cut it down several times to minimize range and wound up at 4" approximately. Now their car has to be in the driveway and the opener only has a range of 2 houses away. This may help with interference to the receiver, time will tell. OK so far. Shorten the Antenna!
Time to complain to the BBB and the Consumer Protection Agency.
I experienced the same problem trying to order the newer 888LM, there is no "Coupon Code" field. I guess the credit card is to pay shipping? After all we have been through? Probably costs $1-3 to use the USPS. Where is the coupon code field??
They are ordered with link in these posts. Dont see what Canada has to do with warranty extension they are offering.
Thank you for reaching out to us. The link below should give you all the information that you need. If you have any additional questions please email us at social@chamberlain.com with the subject line "myQ Community. David Matherne."
Yep, links to anything they have suggested are now broken, even the generic troubleshooting "guide"...they really ought to check this area more often...good luck!
We have had this happen several times since install a week ago too!!! Is there a recall on this opener??? There should be!!!!!
Two of my four doors just started "volunteering" this week. Up down and some "stopped" messages when the door never opened. I power cycled the 824LM after the first door started acting up. Now I've pulled the plug until I can see if others are having this problem.
I'm freaking out it just open twice and I have a baby while husband on night shift. This product should not be sold!!!
I have same problem. Bought a garage hub few days ago for Craftsman brand garage opener. Randomly opening/closing without any interaction. Very scary and unreliable. This is like paying money to lose all the peace of mind. I am returning it.
We've had this happen and all the company has to say is they're sending us a part to install ourselves! There needs to be a recall!!!!
Have you looked into how to get these recalled??? Ours is doing the same thing!!!
Omg ours happen all the time, especially when it's windy outside. Just 15 min ago it open itself twice and it's not even windy. I'm so scared I have a baby and my husband has night shift.
It sounds like this happens for many reasons. In my case, I have the 828LM Internet Gateway, so I can use my mobile devices to monitor and operate my doors. In the past week, two different doors have started acting independently. Since it is two doors in two different structures, I suspect my gateway rather than the wall button. I have a second gateway at a vacation home where the doors are not acting up, so my local gateway is the likely suspect. I was wondering if Liftmaster has a software bug or if the system as been hacked into by the usual bunch of bad actors...or if I just have a defective gateway. I power cycled it after the first door acted oddly, but a different door acted up subsequent to my power cycle.
If you have an Internet Gateway for your door(s), you might try disconnecting the power from the gateway to see if that stops the spontaneous behavior. I unplugged mine last night to see if that solves the problem and so far, it has, but it has only been 12 hours.
To all consumers with phantom opening problems with their liftmaster garage door openers. I personally own 3 from the 8500 series and have been dealing with this phantom opening problem for years. Phantom opening is when your garage door opens and closes all by itself. Like many of you, I have come home and or woken up in the morning to find out that my garage door opened all by itself, VERY scary and unsafe for many obvious reasons. I have spent many HOURS of grief on the phone with their technical people and have tried many different attempts at fixing this including but not limited to changing remotes, rewiring, reprogramming, changing circuit boards etc. This morning, I was able to 'catch' the door going up and down dozens of times by itself which I captured on video.
The myQ wall control is the culprit people. I am an electronic technician by trade and decided to do a little troubleshooting myself. The copy and paste solutions the company keeps posting is a joke and they obviously have no respect for people's time and safety. Call them and have them send you a new myQ programmable wall switch. I disconnected mine and the door stopped going up and down by itself. After dis-assembling I quickly noticed that capacitor C1 and C18 are leaking causing a short in the circuitry which is making the door go up and down. This is a common problem on electronic circuit boards nowadays and is most likely due to the cheap inferior capacitors being used. I would like to admonish the company for not figuring this out on their own and caring so little about the safety of their customers.
I am a new customer and just encounter the phantom door opening. This is very helpful information and I appreciate people like that take the time to pass along this info!
I will begun my trouble shooting process.
We wanted to follow-up on your request. Are you still running into issues? If so, please email us at social@chamberlain.com with the subject line "myQ community. 888LM. Jimmy Lam."
New myQ programmable wall switch does the trick ?
I just got a Chamberlain B750 @ Home Depot to replace my killed LiftMaster. It goes up while I'm gone. Surprised I still have bikes.
I wish my old LiftMaster remotes would operate it.
Maybe my old LiftMaster wall button will work better than the smart + fancy crap ?
Two of my four doors have started erratic opening and closing. Since I had two doors doing this, I suspected the 828LM Internet Gateway, but I unplugged that and after a few days, one of my doors again started going up and down. The "learn" light was flashing on the control. I disconnected it and the problem stopped. I haven't pulled the circuit board out yet to look at the component side of the board.
OK. This certainly looks familiar. Same capacitor!
If Chamberlain would fix their website that tells you they extended the warranty on the inside wired remote, now 888LM. You could order a free replacement. But no...you have to call their Tech Support now to get the fix at no charge.
Chamberlain support team, did anyone see these posts??? I think Chamberlain really has to recall their garage openers and fix this problem ASAP.
I had the same issue with mine by the way. That's why I saw these posts. It seems that it's a common problem with Chamberlain adn I will be very surprised if they don't take any action ASAP.
Did you ever find a Fix did chamberlen help?
It just happened to me for the 10th time. The door opened on its own and I already tried the "lock" method mentioned in another post. This is not safe!
Well, you all can add me to the list! I woke up to my garage door opened this morning, thinking it must have been my forgetfulness, I found that fifteen min ago (6:45pm) I could hear my garage door opening by itself! I'm the only one in my house! Very concerning! I hit the lock button...I am REALLY hoping that will help!
Tempted to chg myQ email to a different email as a test, next wil be husband checking on the circuits as other person indicated.
Does anyone have the trouble shooting instructions? I just had a Chamberlain garage door opener installed it has Wi-Fi and it keeps opening up a few times during the day and a few times during the night I don't know why and I don't know how to fix it.
Read through all the posts. There is no cure per se. The last thing i want is my opener on WiFi for hackers to get to. Shorten your antenna to 4-6 inches to reduce range and possible interfering signals. I had to remove the wall unit and replace it with a doorbell button. So far so good.
I am personally very disgusted by this whole thing. I have a brand new home with a brand new listmaster Q garage opener. I have had nothing but problems since getting it and told them it was going up-and-down on its own. The company locally here in the Tampa area kept trying to tell me I was doing something to the sensor's. Well I'm a pretty educated woman and I even replaced the circuit board on my last garage door opener I know all well about the sensor's. But they keep telling me and the guy must have told me 6 times about the sensor. I was no where near it and then it still kept doing it.
They finally replaced it a week ago but they did not replace the panel on the wall. My garage door opened again several times. I've told them this is unsafe and that if something happens to me they're gonna be held accountable for my safety and security. The company is making it like I did something to programming and their guy programmed my remotes and my vehicle.
Then tonight the night before Thanksgiving, My doors open twice during the day. Yesterday I came home and my garage had been open all day so I set up the Wi-Fi to to be notified.
Tonight I was 20 miles away and had been gone for the house for 2 hours when I get an alert that my garage door opened. Someone needs to investigate and maybe news agency needs to get wind of it if they're not concerned about customer safety. I called Banko and they told me maybe when I set up my wifi I programmed to someone else. WTF that doesn't even make sense. Why would programming to someone else open MY home. And I did it because it opened repeatedly and I wanted a warning. Every excuse except the truth.
Apparently I'm just a dumb female who doesn't know how to work my garage door. Oh and apparently I can be a half hour away from home and hit a sensor. Very upset.
ok so today is November 28th. I have had the overhead unit replaced. They came back when it started again and replaced wall switch. Well guess what with replacement of overhead unit AND wall switch, NOTHING worked. I still have PHANTOM GARAGE OPENING. It is becoming a nuissance. I have to put in manual mode. And then it is still saying it is happening and at times it is connecting itself. I am at point where I may need to consult insurance company and legal. How are these things not fixed. it is a Contractor series, the book mentions the 8155W, 8164W and the 8165W as well as a 8160W. So who knows. Tried to look at unit and it is crazy. This is a brand new house and Taylor Morrison is not doing anything to push it or replace with a better model. Safety and Security are seriously getting compromised and possible damage to my door as well.
We're removed wall control, too rule out it being the issue. Garage continued to open randomly. To be clear our door was only opening, not closing on its own.
I called Chamberlain and they said it was the control board. They sent it out and arrived a couple days later, hubby installed it and wall mount, reprogrammed all remotes and it has been fine ever since. Our garage opener is about 4 years old. My suggestion is to make sure you use the app and set alerts so you are notified at least if you are away so you can close it. The day i called the company i esrd running errands all around town from 930 until 330. My garage opened 7 times during this time and i closed it with the app each time. It opened again as I was on hold for a rep to track my call. Good luck everyone, it was certainly scaring and frustrating and im surprised no one had been hurt or a class action suit going yet.
Count me in too. Installed my LiftMaster 8500 wall mounted unit just over a year ago. Just woke up this morning to find that my door was wide open, with my bikes, tools and equipment in plain sight, free to anybody who may have been walking by in the middle of the night. At first I thought that somebody in the house left it open but found that it doesn't work at all now, which clearly indicates a malfunction (likely the same issue with the MyQ wall controller that Ron pointed out above). I was forced to release the latch and manually close the door and engage the deadbolt so I could get to work on time.
Did a little research to find that this is far too common a problem. WTF, LIFTMASTER/CHAMBERLAIN?! You got a SERIOUS issue here that requires real action, not just chalking it up to "Phantom openings due to cross signals with neighbors". The odds that we are all experiencing cross signaling from neighbors as often as is being reported on this forum alone with units that roll codes is astronomical.
You guys need to take ownership of this defect and you need to take ownership of it months, no, YEARS ago.
Waiting on my new inside wired wall remote to arrive. They extended the warranty on the wired remote. Try that route.
Count me in too. This is truly scary!
No problems until I installed and setup MyQ on android - now Phantom events happen 4 or 5 times a day.
I have the same issue and i have an Android. Wonder if that is the common thread. Has anyone gotten a resolution? I have read threads and it would appear not?
I don't believe it is an android issue at all. It happened before I even knew I had the wifi on my new garage door opener so nothing was hooked up. It ended up being a god send that I could tell when opened to close it.
For me the fix ended up being a totally new different model WAll Control Switch. We had switched out the wall switch for same that went with new unit. That didn't work and they had reprogrammed.
Then he tried a WIRELESS WAll control switch. That seemed to do the trick. So when we saw that worked he upgraded my wall switch to a better model that was wired and had the digital readout. No garage door openings since upgrading the WALL switch itself.
Would be nice to post the Model of the new "upgraded" Wall control to see if different from the one I suspect is the culprit. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the community. We have more information available by clicking on the link below.
the link takes me to a login.. that I don't have.
I have had no problems with my mom's 2 OLD Chamberlin Liftmaster garage door opener for 10yrs++ until several months age when one began "Phantom opening". They are the same age, no wi fi, only a wall button, a remote opener, and home-link. All the same for many years without problem until about 6 months ago when it occurred once. Blamed on forgetfulness until it happened before my eyes. Opening and closing on its own. Called the local installer and gave me the fix to reprogram the remotes. Then changed the wall switch. (it was the one used daily for many years). That seemed to do the trick for about 2 months then it started again. Last night I had to pull the plug because it would't stop. I have read the numerous post over the last 7 months and my frustration is escalating. I was at a point of changing the whole unite but it seems more prevalent with the new high tech unites. Anyone have a suggestion? The local dealer installer is less than helpful.
I downloaded the 'coupon' and code for the free replacement, but cannot submit my order because it requires me to give credit card information in order to continue. WTF Chamberlain? Can you be of ANY less assistance in resolving this issue?
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Please see our product bulletin for more details by clicking on the link below.
The link above takes you to a login page. I tried using the credentials for my account but that doesn't work. Please provide advice on how to proceed.
I use Chrome/Google and select Google login for these posts. Otherwise you may need an account with the company that runs this forum. I was able to order my inside remote under warranty, used the coupon code and it asks for your credit card even though part and shipping are free. Probably a checkout programming bug they didnt think of. The coupon code goes to your email you specified on the first form you had to fill out. Ordering link is also in the email. Got an email saying my part is on its way.
Thank you for your response. I created a login to post on this site. Would you mind sharing where you reported your issue for the warranty? I'd like to do the same however I've had my opener for about 3 years. Hopefully it's still under warranty.
How in the world do you make an account to log on to this?? I have an account through the app, but that username and password doesn't work for this link!!
I think their website is down. Someone needs to call them vs this social media site that gets little attention.
To help console the people affected by the website issue, when the links worked I was able to finally get the inside remote ordered and it did arrive, not installed yet.
For those that don't want to wait, it was around $42-45.
Thank you for contacting Chamberlain Group Technical Support. We sincerely apologize for the delay in our reply. Please see below for a response to the inquiry you recently submitted on our website.
If you need further assistance, or have any additional questions, please let me know.. When contacting our support team, please be sure to reference your case number, 20190217-1297680.
I'm also having the phantom door opening and unable to get to the site through the link above, as it asks for login information I don't have. I also have the app but that information does not work on the link. Can you please let us know how to get onto the site for information about the replacement? Thank you.
FYI to anyone using this replacement panel link admin is supplying... the coupon code from the email is not working at checkout on their website. Says invalid. Also, I have 2 of these 8500 openers and myQ panels (3 car garage), does the coupon code work for ordering 2 replacements?
My original post didn't submit, but I'm another victim of this phantom opening on the 8500 Liftmaster. Just started last week but I saved it on video on my Nest cam... opened several times, partway, all the way, closed itself, opened again. My wife, me, and both our remotes were 50 miles away at work. Video shows my dog getting out and running into the neighborhood in the rain and my classic car, motorcycle and all my goodies in the garage free for the taking for several hours til I could get home. The panel wasn't working either so I had to manually close it.
This is seriously some BS and it's funny how Chamberlain says "few" reported issues. I don't think they're addressing this properly, if not for liability than simply customer satisfaction. This is obviously a major defect and there's enough of us on here seems it would be a great class action if anyone knows a good lawyer. Get us all on this post!
I saw your post that you got a replacement. I brought my lift master 8500w via Costco and the tech just replaced the sensors, wire, and wall unit. IT DID NOT WORK! I am so frustrated with this. Could it be my WiFi (AMPLIFI)? Is it the main unit? That's the only thing that hasn't been changed out. I've only had this for less than a year. Month 3-9, it would not close and I had to force it by holding the wall button to override it, the sensors would misaligned- which we later fixed as it was too close to a nearby furniture. Now? This phantom opening!!
If you have the Phantom opening issue you still need the newest remote, your tech might not be using it. Website seems terminal, when I brought that to their attention they suggested calling tech support direct, then they will order it for you. 800-528-5880. Newest remote looks different than all the previous versions.
Thanks for the info. When you say remotes, you are talking about the 2 external remotes in my car? Anything internal in the device. Reason I ask is that my garage has opened when both cars are not home, so both remotes were miles away from my garage.
No. The wired remote inside with light motion sensor on it. Known issue. 888LM.
If the links worked on here you could see it on their Parts website. Biggest difference is no Lcd menu. Door button uncovers programming buttons. There are 3 Leds that show TTC timer countdown. 888LM.
Just started for me today. Thought I'd completely lost it and left garage open all night, then I hear the door opening later, and go look, and lo and behold it's opening and closing all by itself. I feel SOOOOO secure now.
You can add me to the list. Whether it is a programming issue- that is too common and should be recalled/fixed. My garage opener is less than a year old. New technology should not have codes interfere with a neighbor - it's 2019! If it is the circuit board, well, I am not an engineer but that should be recalled and fixed. I was so happy for getting this new garage door and opener and now I feel like I have an aged BMW bringing it in to service every other week. YES! we need to initiate a class action law suit , and put my name down.
Add me to the class action lawsuit. This started happening to me yesterday. At first I was being told to cut wires and test the wiring versus acknowledging the well documented problem with the wall unit. After a 20-minute conversation the support specialist finally offered to send a replacement. I'm grateful but also frustrated because until this is resolved it is a safety issue. These devices should never fail by leaving the garage door open. If anything, if they fail it should result in the door staying closed.
**Possible fix**. I had the garage tech look into this issue. I have the new wall Wi-Fi opener. He reset the limits on the door so that the door is not as snugged to the ground. He states that these openers drop before they rise and this may fix the problem. I will report back to see if this works. Try it and tell me if it works for you. FYI he states he has a bunch of houses with the same problem. He has changed the opener, sensors, etc. he believes the back up battery may be the culprit.
The Known issue now is the wired inside Wall Remote, which is why they extended the Warranty on it, just ordered mine at N/C with coupon code from the link in one of their responses.
Would you mind sharing/reposting that link? Haven't found it yet. Thanks!
I just received my replacement today and installed it, if it acts up again I'll post it here. So everyone knows, chamberlain just started offering up this solution a few weeks ago and the replacement is free. You do have to put your CC info during the order process but I was not charged anything at all. They did not question my warranty or anything to replace it. Tells me they know this is a big enough problem that they would rather replace anybody who asks for it to avoid a mass recall or potential liability. The new wall unit looks exactly the same, except they put a blue sticker to identify it. I'm guessing the internals are different and that may be the fix.
This stupid garage door opener has been doing this for years. Fed up! As a single mom I terrified every night and check it repeatedly. I am now "programmed" to wake up a few times a night to check if it's open or not! Yep, I am searching at 1am on a work night cuz I woke up to it open for the second time tonight. Absolutely unacceptable.
** what is your IP address to your garage opener?**. I noticed mine was very generic ending in .1 so I changed it to a double digit. It hasn't happened since. It's only 48 hrs now, whereas, it would open every 12 hrs. Before.

Executive Moves: SMIC loses several board members
US whistleblower Frances Haugen is currently on tour in Europe: In Brussels, Paris, and Berlin, the 37-year-old warned of the power of the Facebook platform and its newly named parent company Metaverse. Chances are that Beijing listened eagerly to the deliberations on data theft and manipulation because, while it is not news that Western networks are not particularly welcome in the People's Republic, it did come as a surprise how relentlessly the leadership in China has been cracking down on the tech sector since the middle of this year. After all, the sector is highly innovative and a growth engine for the country.
For economist Doris Fischer of the Julius-Maximilians-Universität of Würzburg, however, the move is understandable to a certain extent: "Of course the leadership knows that the country needs these vital companies. At the same time, however, it also looks at other countries and sees how uncontrollable and dangerous social networks, in particular, can become. They want to prevent that."
In an interview with Felix Lee, Fischer talks about the Chinese government's "headache" regarding tech companies. The economist also explains why bad news in individual sectors does not immediately mean that growth will collapse. Unlike other experts, she cannot currently identify any foreclosure in the country.
But it is precisely such an increasingly isolated China that observers now fear after the "historic resolution" of the 6th Plenum last week. China.Table asked politicians and China experts for their assessment of President Xi Jinping's expansion of power. It turns out that the hope that Xi's hard-line could weaken internally and externally is visibly fading into the sand. The personality cult around the "party emperor" does not suggest an easy diplomatic future between Brussels and Beijing.
We wish you a good start to the week!

"China does not want to close itself off"
China economist Doris Fischer from the University of Würzburg
Hardly anyone in Germany understands China's economy as well as Doris Fischer from the Julius-Maximilian-Universität of Würzburg. In China.Table, she explains why bad news in individual sectors does not immediately mean that growth will collapse. Unlike other experts, she cannot identify the country's foreclosure. The interview was conducted by Felix Lee.
Disclaimer: This interview has been translated into English and is not considered an official translation by any party involved in the interview.
Ms. Fischer, delivery bottlenecks, power outages, tech companies under pressure, then the crisis of the real estate giant Evergrande – the problems are piling up. What is the current state of the world's second-largest economy?
I recently spoke to a German entrepreneur who described how rapidly the transport costs from China to Germany have risen for many companies. There are not enough containers. There are various reasons for this. But COVID is still one of them. Although China has the pandemic mostly under control in its own country, the virus still plays a serious role. In the summer months, it was the ports of Ningbo and Shenzhen that the authorities partially closed down because of a few cases. Now it is also hitting rail traffic. The Chinese authorities recently closed two border crossings for freight trains because there were two cases. There is now also a backlog in rail traffic.

Revolutionary Clayton i-house Arrives in Seattle Area
Jennifer Lay Best, M.D., Returns to East Tennessee Medical Group
East Tennessee Medical Group's CareToday Clinic Offers Advantage vs. the ER
EVERETT, Wash. – The new, Energy StarTM rated i-house from Clayton Homes has arrived in the Seattle area and can now been viewed, toured and purchased at the Heritage Home Center in Everett, Washington.
The eco-friendly Clayton i-house, which is now available for purchase, launched nationally at the Berkshire-Hathaway Shareholders Meeting in Omaha, Neb. on May 2, 2009 when Warren Buffett showed the i-house to attendees. Since that time, the i-house has been featured on numerous nation cable television news shows and in newspapers and magazines across the country.
The i-house is Energy StarTM rated, which means the home is at least 30 percent more energy efficient according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Although home buyers are likely to first notice the stylish design, cutting-edge color combinations and modern furnishings, the i-house also features solar panels, a rain water catchment system, high-end "low e" windows, a tankless water heater, low-flow faucets, easily renewable bamboo flooring and many other energy saving items.
"The i-house will change the way people look at our products and housing in general," said Kevin Clayton, CEO of Clayton Homes. "We build these homes in a controlled environment away from the weather, so there's a huge quality benefit simply because of how we build a home. We also have far less scrap in our building process than a traditional home, so there are tremendous cost savings we pass along to the homebuyer."
Built with an exterior of cement board and architectural metal, the home's most distinctive feature is the V-shaped roof over the primary living space that includes the i-house's rainwater catchment system and solar panels. The primary living area includes a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, and a deck connects it to a separate living area that features a bedroom or den, a full bath and a roof-top patio.
Clayton Homes says the i-house's energy costs are less than $70 a month, but that figure drops to less than one dollar per day when the optional solar panel system is installed.
The i-house is consistent with the overall environmental focus at Clayton Homes, which is in the process of obtaining LEED certification – the national benchmark for eco-friendly design – at its Tennessee headquarters. Clayton has cut energy costs at its offices by 28 percent over the last two years, and has already started implementing many of the "green" features of the i-house into its traditional homes.
Although the i-house is expected to be a popular primary residence, it is also drawing considerable interest from people who wish to have a second home or vacation home because of its affordability, unique design and energy efficiency. The $8,000 first-time homebuyer's tax credit, is expected to attract many first-time homebuyers, many of whom will be drawn to the modern design and energy efficiency of the i-house. More information is available at http://claytonihouse.com.
Clayton, the nation's largest homebuilder, has built 1.5 million homes since 1934. Clayton homes are precision-built in 35 state-of-the-art, climate-controlled facilities strategically located throughout the United States.
About Clayton Homes: A Berkshire-Hathaway Company, Clayton Homes is a national, vertically integrated housing company. Through its family of brands, Clayton Homes builds, sells, finances, leases, and insures a full spectrum of affordable housing and is the nation's leader in housing. Visit Clayton Homes at www.claytonhomes.com.
The i-house can be viewed, toured and purchased at Heritage Home Center, 10910 Evergreen Way in Everett. Contact Mona Talwar at Heritage Home Center at (425) 353-5464 for more local information.

Closer Look: Dungeons of ZZT

Dungeons of ZZT
By: Tim Sweeney
Released: Nov. 2, 1991
Dungeons of ZZT is one of the original ZZT Worlds and serves as the sequel to Town of ZZT. The file is dated November 2nd, 1991, making it just shy of 25 years old at the time of writing.
Unlike Town, Dungeons was a registered world and not part of the Shareware ZZT package. It cost $6 on its own, or as part of $10 and $12 bundles which included the other official worlds (City and Best of ZZT that is, Caves was a bonus included with any registration). So how does it compare to Town? Let's take a look!
In contrast to Town's static hub, Dungeons begins with the player's back to a moving wall, shoving them inside and locking them away in the dungeon. A scroll and ammo await the player to give them the game's story and goal. The "Evil Dungeon Guards" have captured you and thrown you inside the dungeons. The only hope of escape is to traverse the forty-five rooms of the game and this time, collect the four purple keys.
The hub format isn't actually abandoned, however. Though two of the three paths are locked, the keys are there on the very same screen giving the player a chance to open them up after a brief encounter with some lions. For my playthrough, I opted to head east.
Following the path leads to a screen with a simple maze containing some centipedes and sliders which much be pushed out of the way to progress, as well as a purple key taunting the player.
Heading north in hopes of obtaining the key, instead brings the player to a small section of a larger room, with a series of scrolls warning them that touching the alpha is certain death. I touched the alpha. I was instantly killed for it. This is game design.
There's nothing else you can _do_ with the alpha. You can touch it and die, or ignore it and live.
On my second attempt, I opted instead to head into "The Zapper", a board where the player is blocked from shooting and instead has to rely on energizers to make themselves invincible and run into the creatures instead. A lot of what Dungeons does, is tries to make interesting scenarios to fight against ZZT's default enemies. We'll see a lot more like this progressing through the game and I feel that Dungeons does make very good use of them.
Later on amongst ZZTers, these basic enemies were seen as primitive, and their usage was frowned upon compared to coding your own enemies instead.
Also of note, is that the lower left corner of the screen contains an invisible maze. I personally never found any fun in mazes like this one where there isn't any actual danger.
For completing the Zapper, the player receives the first of the four purple keys.

Don't laugh, a zionist IDF soldier complains of encountering nazis in the IDF - surely thats a requirment! He's now sueing the IDF - the tension and fear have caused him diabetes. He joined the IDF expecting to dish out racism, not to receive any..
Anti-Semitism at IDF base
Yossi Yehoshua
French immigrant attacked during basic training by group of Russian-speaking soldiers demonstrating anti-Semitic behavior
Soldiers in an IDF base drew swastikas and yelled 'Heil Hitler', hurting a soldier who had emigrated from France to Israel in order to escape anti-Semitism. The affair was exposed after the soldier, age 21, submitted a suit to the Ministry of Defense.
When the soldier enlisted in the IDF, he had the highest possible physical profile. He was recently discharged, after only six months of service, after developing severe diabetes.
According to the soldier, he decided to move to Israel from France after suffering years of anti-Semitism in the country. Last August, he enlisted in the IDF and was sent to the 'Mihveh Alon' base, where new recruits receive intensive Hebrew courses, in addition to undergoing basic training.
IDF Soldier
with swastika
"While on base, I witnessed appalling and scary incidents, carried out by a group of Russian immigrants who behaved like neo-Nazis. They would draw swastikas, do the fascist salute, and yell 'Heil Hitler'.
"This behavior brought back the fear I had felt as a Jew in France, and reminded me of the anti-Semitism I had left behind – anti-Semitism to which I had not expected to be exposed in Israel, and specifically in the military," said the soldier.
His advocate, Eli Saban, stated that the soldier's appeals to his commanders on the base did not help, and the anti-Semitism merely worsened, eventually even manifesting as physical violence.
Diagnosed with diabetes
In September, the soldier and one of his friends were attacked by the group of Russian soldiers. This led to a group fight on the base between Russian-speakers and French-speakers. Following the fight, the Russian-speaking soldiers were sent to military prison.
"After they finished their prison sentence, the Russian-speakers returned to the base and continued their threatening and anti-Semitic behavior," reads the petition to the Ministry of Defense.
Three weeks before the end of basic training, the soldier began to suffer from symptoms of constant thirst and urination. After being hospitalized, he was diagnosed with diabetes. Due to the disease, he was discharged from the military.
"I have no doubt that the conditions in 'Mihveh Alon', which created extreme tension and fear, are what caused the onset of the disease," claimed the soldier in his suit to the ministry.

A Athearn, é uma empresa Norte americana, fabricante de artefatos de ferromodelismo, a maioria nas escalas O (1/48) e HO (1/87).

Histórico

Em 1938, os músicos Jerry Joice e Perry Bodkin criaram uma loja de hobbies em Hollywood, California. O negócio foi logo assumido por dois de seus empregados: C.H. Menteer e C.A. Voelckel. Logo depois de assumir o controle, eles foram contratados para construir modelos de trens para o filme "Union Pacific" de Cecil B. DeMille. Naquele mesmo ano, Irv Athearn começava a construir modelos ferroviários em escala O na casa de sua mãe. Em 1939, a Roundhouse Products introduziu seu modelo de locomotiva a vapor 0-6-0 em escala HO. O advento da Segunda Guerra Mundial força a Roundhouse Products a suspender a produção em fevereiro de 1942.

Depois de receber muitas respostas de um anúncio do seu modelo ferroviário em escala O, Irv Athearn criou a Athearn Trains in Miniature e passou a vender suprimentos de modelos ferroviários em 1943. Em 1946, a companhia de Menteer e Voelckel agora chamada Model Die Casting, Inc. retomou a produção da linha de produtos da Roundhouse Products. A essa altura, Irv Athearn se tornou um varejista em tempo integral de produtos de ferromodelismo. Em 1948, a Model Die Casting se transferiu para Los Angeles, enquanto isso, Irv Athearn se transferiu da casa de sua mãe para instalações separadas em Hawthorne. Em 2 de julho de 1951, a Athearn comprou a Globe Models, cujo nome foi mantido até 1956. Em 1955, a Model Die Casting mudou-se para Hawthorne.

Em 1956, C.H. Menteer tornou-se o único dono da Model Die Casting. No final da década de 1950, a Athearn introduziu uma ampla gama de novos modelos em sua linha de produtos. As décadas de 1960, 1970, 1980 e 1990, consolidaram o mercado da Athearn permitindo que ela continuasse a introduzir novos modelos de forma constante. Em 1991, Irv Athearn morre. Em 1994, a Athearn é vendida, mas o sucesso continua, e ele introduz modelos novos até os anos 2000. Em 2002, a Athearn adquire a Rail Power Products e introduz modelos na escala N em sua linha de produtos. Em 2004 a Athearn é comprada pela Horizon Hobby em junho daquele mesmo ano, a Model Die Casting segue o mesmo destino. O nome Roundhouse passa a ser usado apenas para os produtos em escala HO de antes da segunda guerra, ficando os demais produtos sob a marca Athearn. Desde então, e ainda de forma bastante regular, a Athearn continua lançando novos modelos todos os anos.

Israeli popstar Harel Skaat and his partner have welcomed their child, a baby boy, into the world.
Harel Skaat and his partner Idan Roll have welcomed their son, who was born from a surrogate mother in the Hillcrest Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the United States. The couple shared a loving picture on their Facebook and Instagram pages, two daddy dragons gently holding their newborn:

Harel Skaat, who represented Israel at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, has been a strong voice for LGBT+ rights in his country for many years. Together with Idan, he went through the difficult process of forming a family of his own, either through adoption or a loving surrogate mother. Now they may really start a happy family life.

Re: Not the Win We Wanted, But a Win Nonetheless
Political cynics often say, "People have short memories." This is not generally true. More often, people simply lose their perspective. To restore perspective on the accomplishments of the Biden Administration, one must go back to 1980 and Reagan's claim that, "Government is the problem." For the next 40 years, Republicans and conservative Democrats worked hard to prove him right. Nothing got fixed and peoples' expectations of government fell progressively lower. Now comes Biden with his whole range of achievements, each carefully watered-down to meet low expectations: infrastructure, tax reform, gun control, climate change, student debt. This is, we are told, the greatest advance in governmental action since Franklin Roosevelt. Perspective: when they claim to have lifted half of all children out of poverty, we must ask them, "And what about the other half?"

Re: The March Towards Us Fascism Began With the Corporate Hijacking of Democracy
Fascism takes root from and grows by the military accumulation of capital.
As our country's big money elements increasingly rely on this mode of profiteering, all of the ideological and cultural attributes of fascism take root and seek to flourish and adapt to our country's particular socioeconomic environment.
The main fact to realize and get across to people is that fascism does not arise from airy ideas floating around in people's minds. It arises from the interests of the most reactionary elements of monopoly capitalists and financiers and spreads from there.
John Woodford
Re: At the Jan. 6 Hearings, Race Isn't Discussed Much. Still, It's a Central Issue
No, it has nothing to do w/ social class, or lack of education, or a panicky petty-bourgeoisie (remember, most of the insurrectionists on Jan. 6 were small business owners or white-collar professionals, decidedly NOT blue-collar workers!), or paranoid fears of loss of 'white dominance,' when it doesn't exist in the first place! As was said in the first George Bush Presidential campaign, "It's the economy, stupid." Well, it's CLASS, not RACE, stupid! & don't overlook, more & more "marginalized" women & POCs are joining the upper realms of corporate control, management, those whose who's alleged "white dominance" gives them the power to lord it over--workers!)
As a blue-collar worker in a grocery store, despite having a college degree (which turned out to be essentially useless in the Indiana job market, where I live), I essentially have ZERO "white power," "white privilege." And yes, I've had, and have, black and female managers, and there's essentially NO difference between a "marginalized" manager, and a manager with "white privilege." I feel clearly the CLASS distinction, but feel zero "privileged' racial status!
Re: New York Progressives Splinter, and Dan Goldman Is Headed to Congress
The NY Times will always pick finance and real estate. They will almost always pick a rich white man over a young progressive woman of color.They are still stuck in the days described in the witty and telling book "The Girls in the Balcony". That said, why can't progressives be a bit more strategic? If only one had thrown support to Niou, then it would have been a win.

Re: Inside the Drive To Bring 'Cultural Workers' Into the Labor Movement
It is good to know that AFSCME is tackling the organization of cultural workers in a big way. However, AFSCME is not the only union which has organized these workers. UAW Local 2110 in New York represents museum workers, continuing an effort started in the early 1970s when my mother, Margie Albert, organized the workers at New York's Museum of Modern Art into District 65, which later affiliated with the United Auto Workers, which represents those workers today.

Re: My Seventy Years and the Departed GDR
Brilliant! Extremely well written. As is evident from his skill at presenting controversial and complex issues. Thanks. A must read for everyone.
I read this article with anticipation, and ended in disappointment. I appreciate the difficulties under which the GDR was founded, and the forces arrayed against its success. But Mr. Grossman writes that "new generations" should learn from the "successes" of the GDR (which he explains in detail) and not only from its "blunders, nasty habits and limitations." But unless I missed them, he neither lists nor explains any "blunders or nasty habits" that those making policy in the GDR committed or suffered from; either in the Government or the Party.
I don't know what "new generations" can learn from Mr. Grossman's history.
Paul Leavin
In the summer of 1966, I had the chance to work on a state farm near Dresden in East Germany, the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The country was still quite poor, recovering from the second world war. The East of Germany had much less industry than the West, and the destruction in the war had been much greater. For example, the whole centre of Dresden had been flattened in an horrific fire-storm caused by British and US bombers, when the Red Army was close to liberating it. The bombing did not help the Soviets but meant they inherited a destroyed city.
Then the USSR justly took a good deal of the factory machinery that did survive as reparations. Plus, of course, after years of Nazi anti-communism many of the skilled professionals and technicians preferred to 'go west' rather than stay in the 'Soviet zone'. A huge re-training programme was needed in the GDR, including replacing 87% of the teachers. The West also received the capital investment of the Marshall Plan, to develop capitalism and prevent any move to socialism.
The economy really took off in the 1970s, but in 1966 there were still many horses on farms, and not many modern tractors. The cows were still milked by hand in makeshift stalls out in the pastures in summer – that was the biggest difference from what I had known in England. This was possible because a technical secondary school was attached to the farm, so there were plenty of students available – they worked on the farm one week in three, if my memory is correct.
Work went on much as on any farm, producing wheat, rye and milk as part of a national plan – but there was one event which was an eye-opener for me.
Green maize was to be harvested for silage, which is like making sauerkraut. The green material has to be cut, chopped, blown into trailers and stacked in a heap. Because of the lack of infrastructure, the heap was just made in a field. The maize had to be compacted, to exclude the air. Therefore it was important to finish the harvest as quickly as possible, which meant working round the clock for a couple of days. So, a meeting was necessary.
One evening the whole team assembled: the farm manager and brigade leaders, the union rep, all the tractor drivers and representatives of the students. For work in 'unsocial hours', and for a special harvest, there were bonuses on offer. Work teams for 12-hour shifts were organised. I did not understand all the details but the discussion went smoothly, until one young tractor driver said 'No'. He would not work a night shift. As far as I could understand, he was newly married and would not work even one night. The brigade leader tried to persuade him. His colleagues tried to persuade him. Everyone tried to persuade him, using arguments about joint effort, collective work and so no. To no avail. At length, and the discussion lasted some time, he still refused. There it ended.
Were any threats made? Did he risk getting the sack? Nothing like that at all (there was no unemployment in the GDR but losing his job on that farm would have meant an upheaval for his family of course).
This was eye-opening to me. In this 'totalitarian' state a farm worker could refuse to work unsocial hours above his normal work hours, even for a couple of nights, and keep his job. Even though his fellow workers were annoyed with him, it was accepted. The contrast with the situation in 'free' England was total. A farm worker who tried to exert his rights in anything like the same way would not last a week. The boss's word is law and you are 'down the road' if you don't like it. (2) When I returned to the same farm in 1971 there were no working horses and much better machinery, including several good Zetor tractors from the Czech Republic. 5,000 of those were sold to Chile under very favourable terms to help Salvador Allende's agrarian reform, as part of the 15,00 from other socialist countries, but that's another story.
Good silage is produced by anaerobic fermentation, where sugars are converted to lactic acid and the silage has an attractive smell. If air gets in, butyric acid can be produced, you get an unpleasant smell and the cows do not like it.

Re: Russia-Ukraine: Five Lessons From the 19th-Century Crimean War
reply to Tidbits content - August 25
SB Loveless seems to think that the Nazi invasion of the USSR during World War II was only fought by Russians. This is clearly untrue. People from all over the USSR fought back, and I believe that Ukrainian deaths surpassed those of Russians, and were in the millions.
Phetrus Xavhad is correct about US imperialism's slaughters, but seems not to understand that there are many neonazis in Russia, supported by Putin, and that the neonazis in Ukraine are a minor force. I have worked with both Ukrainian and Russian public health workers and researchers for many years and have talked with friends in both places about these issues.

Re: An Archaeology of Personhood and Abortion
Regardless of any social, cultural, religious, or other supernatural beliefs regarding "who is a person", no other human being in our society is forced to provide their body for the benefit of any living being.
No-one is forced to provide organs after they die or their blood while alive. Nobody, not even a parent is forced to donate bone marrow, kidneys or livers.
We kill innocent people in other countries because our leaders don't like their leaders. We don't provide health care, food, housing or other necessities to keep people alive even though no-one would be forced to donate their bodies to keep these people alive.
That whole issue is just plain hypocritical hatred of women.

Chile looks to the Future
On Sunday, 4th September, Chileans go to the polls to ratify the draft New Constitution. It is a forward-looking progressive text, based on social equality and a vision of sustainable science-based development. There is the duty to protect ecosystems and fight climate change. Full rights for women and sexual 'dissidents'. It will do away with constitutional privileges for private property, and other barriers to equitable progress.
With less than a week to go until the referendum to approve Chile's New Constitution (NC), the battle is bitter. Big business and the Establishment, whose power is threatened by the NC, are using all their tools. All sorts of lies and distortions are created and pushed on TV news programs. Lots of money has been spent on YouTube videos, Facebook, Instagram and Tik Tok.
For four weeks now, we have had two 15-minute slots a day on TV with half for the 'Approve' option and half for 'Reject'. The vote to have a new constitution was so massive – 78% - that those against this proposal pretend they are for a new one – but 'better'. The right wing who rejected reform are practically invisible. The only public faces for 'reject' are of the 'centre-left' which is divided. Many Christian Democrat Senators for example, past and present, are fiercely for 'reject' but the party's delegate conference voted by 63% to approve the draft.
In this region we see a lot of people on the Internet just saying "Reject!" with no arguments, just prejudice. But the New Constitution (NC) is selling like hot cakes, and there are long queues in Santiago to get the free copies. The lies have been answered and the only real fears have been dealt with by the political agreement now to clarify and limit some of the text's articles.
The text promises many basic rights, such as healthcare, education, housing (not even mentioned in the present constitution). Decent pensions and social security system are promised.There will be freedom from social discrimination, and gender parity and rights for nature and animals. The Senate, which has been a 'counterbalance' in other words a block on radical change, is replaced by a Regional Assembly with limited powers. Regions and even municipalities will have autonomy. There will be separate indigenous judicial systems. Many provisions, like those, will have to be defined by laws after the constitution has been adopted.
The right wing offensive has been most effective in criticizing some of those rather vague formulations, but has preferred to use lies and distortions to instill fear. Their most powerful weapon, not openly expressed, is racism. The first article defines the future Chilean state thus:
"Chile is a social and law-based democratic State. It is plurinational, intercultural, regional and ecological.
"Plurinational" – for the first time, Chile's national minorities will be recognised, and this is anathema to the nationalists here, who have a whole history of denial of their existence. The genocidal war to dominate the Mapuche people, for example, from about 1860 to 1880, is called "pacification" and their very existence was then erased from official history. Where I live, Chilean and European colonists were installed next to Mapuche reservations (called 'reductions') and inter-marriage plus religious conversion has greatly diminished indigenous culture. But it lives and us grows in many places still.
So the message used over and over again is that the draft "divides" us. A coded message against recognition of the Mapuche and other minorities (Aymara, Diaguita, Rapa Nui and several others).
The other strength of the 'reject' forces is plain social conservatism, largely based on reactionary religious trends, both Catholic and Evangelical. Against the right to abortion, any alternative to traditional marriage and family structure, and rights for homosexuals. An extreme distortion is to say that protecting sexual dissidents from discrimination means protecting pedophiles.
Chile has a beautiful national anthem but it was misused by the civilian-military dictatorship. So on the daily TV spots this week, a silly statement by one of the authors of the draft, that 'the national anthem is divisive' gave the 'reject' editors the chance to show a very diverse range of musicians playing it. A real own goal.
Despite this, gatherings to support 'Approve' have been massive. In the small and quite rural municipality here, with 56,000 voters, we have had two motorcades through the town, with over 40 and over 80 vehicles, causing a big impact. I think we will win, with about 55% to Approve this promising new constitution.

Living in the Pacific Northwest weather sneaks up on us from the southwest as the clouds are pushed over the Olympic Peninsula; from the southeast when the Aleutian Low moves down and inland as the seasons change; from the north and northeast when the Polar Vortex exercises its influence on the weather systems north of the 45th Parallel. The North Pacific High draws the cooling air down from the Alaskan coast and keeps our summers mild and, in 'normal' years, keeps the snow at a viewing distance instead of a driving challenge.
These two systems, the Aleutian Low and the North Pacific High, create a slight problem for us as we head out the door. Do we look to the southeast, northwest, west — where will our weather come from for this run? How should we dress?
A second weather book: Weather Wisdom by Albert Lee, became a read-several-times book as I learned I needed to be able to look at the sky, not the weather channel. Oops… something in the oven… be back in a few minutes… this is not complete.
When we are on the road I try to get up before sunrise, partly to see the sunrise, partly to look at the sky–hoping I am looking in the direction we will travel.
Most places we have lived the weather comes from the west. In Arkansas the thunder would boom and roll in from Oklahoma. In North Dakota the winds from the north would be cold; from the west would bring snow—here on the island the morning was filled with a sunrise that went on and on, while the weather-bringer, the sky behind us, was calm that day.
Somewhere along the way I started looking at tree branches or flags, looking at the movement of a flag almost straight out from its staff–listening for when the trees quit swaying and started cracking. We have left the woods quickly on some days. Other days the wind stayed gentle, the trees merely danced for us as we ran. If the wind is not here, a rare occurrence, the fog comes to play or stay. The sound of the wind in the trees is replaced by the many-toned fog horns. The ships don't really care what is out there. They just want to know where it is.
Only (almost) in the Pacific Northwest can you leave the rain forest green sogginess, cross a pass like this an hour later and in another hour be running in open desert enjoying the sun—with the almost always present grey clouds capping the Cascade Mountains just an arm's length away.
If we can see those mountains… we might forget most of our weather comes from behind us.
The run is over — time to sit and watch for whales.
On this day the Seattle weather people talked of heavy rain. The snow was falling thick and heavy about forty miles to our right. We are in a "rain shadow" and seldom have snow on the ground or days above 70ºF during the summer.

Medical students will not yet be involved in fight against coronavirus, - Ministry of Health
Ministry of Health has all the necessary data about volunteers if it needs their assistance
Now in Ukraine there is no need to involve students and interns of medical universities in the fight against coronavirus. Maksym Stepanov, the Minister of Health of Ukraine, announced this on a briefing.
According to Stepanov, from the beginning it was planned to attract students and interns solely on a voluntary basis for organizational and technical measures to combat coronavirus, and they filled out the appropriate questionnaires.

"Today there is no such need. We have enough of our medical staff. But if there is such a necessity, we have all the data about the volunteers that they filled in and they will be immediately attracted. This work is carried out on the regional level, by relevant persons in departments of healthcare," the minister said.
As we reported before, as of the morning of April 25, in Ukraine, 8125 people were infected with the coronavirus. Over the past day, 478 new cases of infection were recorded.
"According to the Center for Public Health, as of 09:00 of April 25, 8125 laboratory-confirmed cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in Ukraine. 201 of these were fatal, 782 patients recovered. 478 new cases were recorded per day," the report said.

Getting accurate health information is one of the first steps to making contraceptive decisions that can protect against unintended pregnancy and related risks. HC3 is proud to release its FP INFOcus Guide to meet this challenge.
Erin Portillo, a Family Planning Program Officer II with the Health Communication Capacity Collaborative has been nominated for the 120 under 40, a project organized by the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, with sponsorship from Bayer, to recognize future leaders in the area of family planning.
How might we capture young people's real stories and everyday experiences with contraception in a way that helps decision-making?
How the Healthy Timing and Spacing of Pregnancy Implementation Kit was used in two West African nations: Niger and Togo.
In honor of International Women's Day 2017 and its theme "Women in the World of Work," HC3 underlines its belief that women deserve the right to balance their professional and other goals with their desire to have children – and to understand the health benefits and risks that come with delaying pregnancy and childbirth until after adolescence and young adulthood.
Au nom de la Journée internationale des femmes 2017 et de son thème « les femmes dans le monde du travail, » HC3 souligne sa conviction que les femmes méritent le droit de conjuguer leurs buts professionnels et autres avec leur désir à avoir des enfants – et de comprendre les bénéfices pour la santé ainsi que les risques liés au report de grossesse et de naissance jusqu'après l'adolescence et le début de la vie adulte.

Q: A basic doubt on a problem on sequence Suppose a sequence of "distinct" elements $\{x_n\}$ converges to $x$ and $x$ is not in the sequence. Then given an $N$ can we find an $\epsilon >0$ s.t. there exists $M >N$ with the property that $\forall n \geq M$ $|x_n-x| <\epsilon$ and the set $\{x_n:n\geq M\} = \{x_n:|x_n-x| < \epsilon\}$ ? This looks intuitively possible, but I am not able to formally write it.
Actually, I want to find an $\epsilon >0$ such that all the points in the sequence which are $\epsilon$ distance apart from $x$ are some $x_n$ where $n > N$ and $N$ is the given integer. Because I can get rid of the points before $x_N$ by choosing $\epsilon<min(x_i,x); i <N$ it looks like it is possible to find such an $\epsilon$
In other words, given an $N$ I want to find an $\epsilon$ such that all the sequence elements starts becoming less than $\epsilon$ distance apart after $N$. Am I making sense now ?

A: Ok so firstly the definition of a sequence $\{x_n\}$ converging to $x$ is that for every $\epsilon>0$ there exists $N$ such that for all $n>N$, $|x_n-x|<\epsilon$. I write this as the title mentions confusion regarding the definition.
What you write is not equivalent to the definition, for instance take the sequence $0,1,1/2,1/3,1/4,\dots$ and take $N=2$. Then no matter how small (or big) you pick $\epsilon>0, \{x_n\,:\,|x_n-x|<\epsilon\}$ always contains $0=x_1$, however for each $M>N$, $\{x_n\,:\, n>M\}$ does not contain $0$. So these sets aren't equal.

A: This is as per your statement:

In other words, given an $N$ I want to find an $\epsilon$ such that all the sequence elements starts becoming less than $\epsilon$ distance apart after $N$.

There is no way to find such an epsilon you are looking for unless you take $\epsilon=2M$ where $|x_n|<M$ for all $n>N$, for there is no guarantee that $|x_{N+i}-x_{N+j}|<\epsilon$.

Q: Determine if this specific sequence is a Cauchy sequence I have the following sequence:
$$a_n =\sum_{k = 1}^n (-1)^{b_k} {1\over k^2}  $$
And the hint is that I have to prove that:
$$ {1\over k^2}  < {1\over k-1} - {1\over k}  $$
So assuming $m>n$, I have to prove that:
$$\forall \epsilon >0,  \exists N \in \mathbb{N},$$ so that $$  \forall m,n > N \Rightarrow \lvert a_m - a_n\rvert < \epsilon $$
What I gathered so far:
$ \lvert a_m - a_n\rvert = \lvert \sum_{k = n+1}^m (-1)^{b_k} {1\over k^2}\rvert $
$b_k$ is a sequence of natural numbers ${1,2,3.....}$, so in absolute value, $(-1)^{b_k} $ is $1$.
Therefore:
$ \lvert a_m - a_n\rvert = \lvert \sum_{k = n+1}^m (-1)^{b_k} {1\over k^2}\rvert \leq \sum_{k = n+1}^m {1\over k^2}. $
From here on, its not so clear to me as to how to proceed.
What should be my next steps?

A: You're almost done. Since $\frac{1}{k^2} \leq \frac{1}{k-1}-\frac{1}{k}$ you have that
$$\sum_{k = n+1}^m {1\over k^2}\leq\sum_{k=n+1}^m \left[\frac{1}{k-1}-\frac{1}{k}\right]$$ This is a telescoping series which is equal to $\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{m}$. It converges to zero as $n,m\rightarrow 0$.

A: Now, use the fact that$$\sum_{k=n+1}^m\frac1{k^2}<\sum_{k=n+1}^m\frac1k-\frac1{k-1}=\frac1n-\frac1m.$$

You Got the Love is een nummer van de Britse producer The Source, ingezongen door de Amerikaanse zangeres Candi Staton.

"You Got the Love" werd oorspronkelijk uitgebracht in 1986, maar werd toen geen hit. Toen het lied in 1991 werd geremixt, werd het wel succesvol in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar de 4e positie gehaald werd. In Nederland moest het nummer het toen met een 12e positie in de Tipparade stellen.

Zes jaar later, in 1997, werd het nummer opnieuw geremixt. Deze versie werd een nog grotere hit dan de remix uit 1991. Het bereikte de 3e positie in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, en de 25e in de Nederlandse Top 40. Ook in Vlaanderen reikte de remix tot de hitlijsten, maar daar bleef het steken op een 3e positie in de Tipparade.

In 2014 werd het nummer gebruikt in een reclame voor Coca-Cola, waarin het werd gezongen door een kinderkoor.
