What kind of affect are you worried about?
I don't know if this is co incidence or not I had this weird problem the thumbnails in 6tag and facebook stopped loading as i installed preview for developers in my moms phone with same account i am using on my phone do you think this could be the reason for it?
not likely, as i have the DP on my 1520 and my son's 1520.
an issue with your mom's phone.
I am using mine concurrently on three different L920's. No problem.

deadly shooting
Fatal incidents in Southwest Philadelphia renew gun violence concerns
Police said someone shot up a black car as it was heading into the Penrose Plaza in Eastwick on Sunday at about 8:30 p.m.
ByCorey Davis
The latest homicides in the city include a couple of fatal incidents in Southwest Philadelphia. In one shooting in the Eastwick neighborhood, a man was killed and a pregnant woman was injured.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The latest homicides in the city include a couple of fatal incidents in Southwest Philadelphia. In one shooting in the Eastwick neighborhood, a man was killed and a pregnant woman was injured.
Police said someone shot up a black car as it was heading into the Penrose Plaza on Sunday at about 8:30 p.m.
A man was driving with a pregnant woman in the car, according to investigators.

Investigators said they crashed in the parking lot of a Wendy's in the plaza after the initial shots were fired.
The driver got out and ran, but collapsed nearby, police said. He was then shot several more times in the head and torso as he was on the ground.
Police said the pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital where she and her unborn child were stabilized after she was shot in the back.
"The shootings that are taking place here in the city of Philadelphia, especially in Eastwick and Southwest Philadelphia which I represent, are totally unacceptable," said Councilman Kenyatta Johnson.
Johnson is chair of the special committee on gun violence, which heard testimony from city leaders this month on efforts to make neighborhoods safer.
"Too many young people have access to illegal guns," Johnson said.
The second act of violence also happened Sunday night in Southwest Philadelphia. Investigators said a man died after suffering a puncture wound to the neck around 10 p.m. at 62nd and Woodland Avenue after an argument. It's unclear at this time whether the man was shot or stabbed, police said.
Portions of North, West and Southwest Philadelphia are the hotspots for gun violence, according to data from the Office of the Controller.
For the first time since 1996, the city has had more than 400 homicides in back-to-back years.
Chantay Love is among those working around the clock to stop the violence.
Love is the president and co-founder of the nonprofit organization Every Murder is Real (EMIR). Founded more than two decades ago, the organization has been busier than ever working to aid the often unseen victims of gun violence.
"I think that the victims - as well as those who have caused harm need to be treated as well because we know that hurt people hurt people," said Love.
When it comes to a plan, Johnson said there have to be short and long-term goals.
"On a short-term perspective, we just have to figure out where these guns are coming from. Way too many illegal guns flooding the streets of Philadelphia," Johnson said. "Too many young people have access to illegal guns. In the long-term, we have to get to the root causes of why these young men are picking up guns in the first place."
As police and city leaders continue to try to narrow down exactly which efforts will work best when it comes to combating gun violence, they said they believe it will take a community effort to truly make a difference.

90 Day Fiance: Do Lana and David Murphey meet on '90 Day Fiance'?
90 Day Fiance: Do Lana and David Murphey meet on '90 Day Fiance'?
At some point, it's no easier to side with David Murphey in 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days. Of course, it's a shame that he and his Ukrainian girlfriend Lana weren't able to bond in real life, but at this point no one would blame him if he gave up and went home. This can be hard to do after spending over $100,000 on her over the last few years. It may also be necessary, however, for David Murphey to move on with his life and find happiness with someone else.
The only problem is that David doesn't seem to want to find happiness with anyone else. He is determined to meet Lana in person, but are David Murphey and Lana really meeting on 90 Day Fiance? It seems less and less likely that they manage to make a connection beyond the dating site on which Lana is increasingly unreliable. Let's just say it would be really amazing if David and Lana were together now.
Before David was signed up for 90 Day Fiance: Before 90 days, he had already tried to meet Lana a handful of times in real life. Then, she stood him up at the train station, and not long after that, she didn't show up at the restaurant where she had agreed to meet David Murphey. If David didn't learn his lesson afterwards, there's no telling how many more times he's willing to try to meet Lana.
Judging by social media, though, and the way things have been going so far this season, it's unlikely that David Murphey and Lana will meet on 90 Day Fiance. Even if David Murphey is willing to show up at what he believes to be Lana's apartment to meet her there, there's not even a guarantee that she will be where she lives or that she will be at home. David Murphey's got it all on one basket shaped like Lana, but it's unlikely they'll meet.

Wow...A few pages and I am hooked. Looking forward to the rest!
Awesome. Thanks for the kind words. The team is hard at work getting this one finished and out to readers. We're proud of it.
Best of luck on this book Bobby!
Thanks. The book is coming along nicely. We've got a fantastic creative team on this one.


"I got the MVT Relief device and it started working right away."
The MVT is a life saver!
I am a massage therapist. When I developed arthritis in my hands I was afraid (putting it mildly) that my career would come to a screeching halt. Like most of us, I was not prepared for a career change and besides, I truly do love my work and did not want a change. I tried many different treatments including massage, ice and paraffin baths, ultra sound, glucosamine with condroitin, chiropractic, and much more. The orthopedic surgeon tried braces, gave me cortisone shots, then casts. When none of these worked he said he needed to take a bone out!
One of my massage students offered me a chance to try her sister�s MVT. I absolutely could not believe what I had just experienced! It actually took me several treatments before I fully believed that it was real. That the pain was completely gone in less than 3 minutes! I was so excited I bought one for myself and started having everyone I knew use it just to see what else it could do. Every single person that has used it has said the same thing, �It�s amazing!� It�s been close to a year now and I am just as excited about this device as I was on that first day.
Thank you Dr. Milne, for creating the miracle that gave me back my life, for the opportunity to help so many people, and for this chance to share my story!

Readiness for culture change: are you ready to take on the ACHE/NPSF Blueprint for Success?
In May the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and the NPSF Lucian Leape Institute released a white paper titled Leading a Culture of Safety: A Blueprint for Success. Most white papers on patient safety call for culture change, but offer little advice as to how. The Blueprint for Success paper is different: it provides a clear framework and practical, actionable steps. It offers examples, advice on assessing readiness and means for monitoring progress implementing culture change.
We hope leaders throughout the health care industry study this paper closely and discuss it with their boards and senior-most leaders. The time has come to end the two-fold public health crises of medical error and health-worker safety.
But be forewarned: true culture change is hard. Most efforts fail; some find limited success; only a few create breakthroughs.
We've consulted to large organizations engaged in culture change for two decades. In our experience, breakthrough successes have three things in common — three pre-requisites that must be in place in order for a culture change to have even a chance of success:
Leaders' relationship to the challenge:
The leaders of successful culture change efforts — leaders who create breakthroughs in their organization — share a specific mindset; a particular "relationship to" the challenge at hand:
They believe the change is possible, despite evidence that it is unlikely or improbable.
They are personally committed to the change, despite not knowing how they'll make it happen.
They accept responsibility for the way things are currently and for bringing about the change. They see themselves as "at cause" and "able to respond", rather than "at effect" or "victims."
Reality check: imagine standing in front of a roomful of your bosses, peers, employees and family and saying, "This organization hurts people – both patients and staff members. I am responsible for that. I commit to eliminating these injuries — not reduce; not mitigate; eliminate. I can't do it alone. I need your help. But that's what we're going to do. If you ever see me failing to live up to this commitment, I want you to remind me of what I said here today."
What does imagining this reveal about your relationship to the challenge? A mindset of possibility, commitment and personal responsibility will be required to lead this change.
Relationship between leaders:
Organizations that achieve breakthroughs are led by highly effective teams. One person can make a difference, but until the team at the top is fully engaged, change will be slow. The most-effective teams have a few things in common:
They are aligned in support of a challenging goal and shared approach. (Note: alignment is not the same as consensus. Team members will disagree, but effective teams talk through conflicting opinions and then move on.)
They have clear expectations of each other, and hold each other accountable.
They have frequent, candid conversations. Sitting around a table to review performance data is not conversation; the best leadership teams allow time for dialogue and thought-partnership; they offer one another feedback, ask for and offer support, and acknowledge each others successes.
They work through failures and setbacks together, without assigning blame or saying "I told you so."
Reality check: at your next staff meeting, ask each person to share a frustration they have about the performance of another department — then check: was the leader of that department aware of the frustrations? When was the last time the two leaders discussed it? Better yet, ask each manager to describe the performance of a department other than their own — ask them to discuss the challenges, successes and needs of the other team. Can they do it?
Are the relationships within your leadership team strong enough to ensure coordinated, sustained effort across the whole organization? A collaborative, collegial, well-aligned team will be needed to implement this change.
Team members' relationship to leaders:
Change begins at the top, but breakthroughs occur when folks at the front-line act / think / feel differently. Our team members' perceptions of us — their relationship to us — determine our ability to influence their thinking and behavior. Every breakthrough we've seen has come in places where teams perceive their leaders as worthy of following:
Leaders are visible, felt, and present. The best leaders are seen by and known to the workforce.
Leaders are seen as authentic and genuine. Folks can smell insincerity a mile off — the best leaders are willing to be themselves, tell it like it is, and encourage others to do the same.
People feel valued by their leaders. By asking people to change, we're asking them to invest discretionary effort. The best leaders get that effort because their teams know they care.
Reality check: show up, unannounced and unescorted, at unexpected time, in an unusual place — come in on the night shift and sit down in the cleaning staff's break room. Do people know your name? Do you know any of their names? Tell them they can ask you anything they want — are they willing to risk asking you a tough question? Ask the folks to help you out by giving you some straight, direct, no-holds-barred feedback: what do they think your biggest concerns are… and what should you be concerned about?
Are people open to you? Are they willing to share and to listen? Are able to listen more than you talk? Do you follow-through and follow-up in what you hear? Authentic relationships based on care and respect are vital to creating a breakthrough.
Our relationships with people, and to situations, determine our capacity for action. Before setting out to implement the ACHE/NPSF's Blueprint for Success, leaders should examine their relationship to the challenge, the relationships between leaders on their team, and their followers' relationship to leaders. The absence of any of these prerequisites is not fatal — but the gaps must be addressed as part of the change effort. The good news here is also the bad news: these capacities cannot be purchased, hired or delegated — no program or best-practice will address these gaps; but the power to change is within us — within you, the person sitting in your chair.

Q: Finding the shortest path between two rotations (in degrees) I am trying to find the shortest "path" between two rotations, measured in degrees.
Example problem:
I am given two rotations: 10 and 340. The shortest path between these rotations would be -30, because going below 0 degrees underflows to 359 degrees. However, I seem to be unable to get the value programmatically! Everything i've tried before (lots of random code snippets), always returned the longer path, which would be 330 with this example.
Short problem version:

*

*Rotation A: 10

*Rotation B: 340

*Shortest path: -30

*Longest path: 330

*I am unable to find the logic to compute the shortest path, which is my goal.

XY Problem addendum:
I am working on game project. For this matter, i have an entity that moves through 3D-space. That movement is determined by a 3D-vector. The entity also has yaw and pitch. In the previously described example problem, Rotation A is the yaw that the entity currently has. Rotation B is the yaw of the current movement vector. The entity is supposed to slowly adjust its yaw to match the current vector.
I am coding this project using Java.
Thank you!


Is there a nice Winamp plugin that is missing from this list? Let me know!
First of all, download Winamp Media Player, if you don't have it.
Playlist File Remover is a free and great plugin for Winamp. It will allow you to remove a track from a playlist automatically. It will also give you the option of using a shortcut key to remove from your playlist the currently playing song. Except for simple removal, Playlist File Remover can move a track to the recycle bin or permanently delete it. You can use Playlist File Remover to discard what you don't like ending up with your playlist as you want it.
Playlist AutoSave is a free plugin for Winamp that saves your playlist automatically every minute or on a schedule you can decide, making sure you won't lose your changes if Winamp craches.
Playlist Undo is a free Winamp plugin that will let you undo even thousands of editings of a Winamp playlist. Editing a playlist you may accidentally delete a track a moment before you realized you wanted to keep it! It occurred to me a lot of times, and there is no Undo, as you know.
MilkDrop2 is a free plugin for Winamp that visualizes music in a lot of impressive psychedelic modes. If you don't have it, here is chance to get it. This is the original package included in Winamp and featuring about 500 presets, but you can get more if you download also the MilkDrop2 MegaPack of 50000 presets!
ClassicPro 2 is a powerful Winamp plugin you can install to enjoy cPro modern skins. If you are still using Winamp you don't want to ignore this plugin.
U2 Reloaded is a modern cPro skin for Winamp. It is safe and free, and features a clean minimalistic interface. To use it you need to have the ClassicPro 2 plugin.
Winamp Desktop Control is a nice gadget that will let you open and control Winamp from the desktop.
WinAmp Playlist Creator lets you create or edit a playlist without using Winamp. Playlist Creator saves in m3u and pls formats.
Win7shell integrates the player in the taskbar. It shows playback status and progress in the icon background of the taskbar icon; uses taskbar icon to display a "VU meter"; shows playback status using icon overlays on the taskbar icon, and more.
ASIO Plugins for Winamp. Note that you can not have ASIO streaming only with a plugin. ASIO Winamp plugins are useful because they let Winamp communicate with the main ASIO driver.
CDG karaoke Plugin is a free and safe plugin you can use to play CDG files (mp3+g) in sync with MP3 or other formats supported by Winamp. It turns Winamp into a karaoke machine!
Vocal Remover Vocal remover is a plugin you want, if you use Winamp and enjoy Karaoke. Usually vocals are not completely removed but they are low enough, you can barely hear them!
CD Art Display shows on the desktop the album cover of the currently playing song. CD Art Display visualizes the progress of the track showing a transparent and elegant vertical progress bar – and also it shows (always transparent and sleek) track time, track title, track number and the total number of tracks, album title and the artist.
ListFix finds the lost or missing entries in your playlists automatically. Tell it where you keep your media files, load the playlist you want to fix, and hit the "Find" button. The program will search your media library for the correct files and update the playlist accordingly. If a few files are not located, ListFix has another way of finding them, by scoring the files in your media library with a "similarity" test and offering a choice of the best potential matches, pre-selecting the matches it deems "best". ListFix does a tremendous job in locating the mp3s and fixing playlist entries. Pros and Cons estimated, ListFix is a great program you should download, if you have a large mp3 collection and many playlists.
WinAmp File Deleter will help you, if you download tones of music and want to delete a file the time is being played in Winamp (you don't like a song and you want to delete it instantly). Winamp moves to the next file in the playlist, while the previous song is deleted (to the Recycle Bin, if you prefer). There is also the option of not deleting but moving a file to a predefined folder. Unfortunately this Winamp Deleter plugin is controlled by two tray icons (one to delete and another one to move a file to another folder), not from the keyboard. A simpler solution would be to download a different Winamp Plugin called Playlist File Remover, which supports keyboard shortcuts for both removing a file from just the playlist and physically from the hard disk.
EQ Hotkeys will let you define a global hotkey for turning on or off the equalizer, and more (global) hot keys to configure the bands.
TTA Plugin will let you play TTA (True Audio) files. The only problem with this plugin is with toaster, another plugin that shows information about the song currently playing in Winamp. TTA impedes the gui of toaster and it can't redraw properly.
Toaster displays notification popups with (optionally) album / CD cover art. The toasts can be skinned like the classic Winamp or using a custom skin. They appear in various animations. You can customize the display to show anything you like using Advanced Title Formatting. Toaster is a nicely designed track-change notification plugin.
Minimize Winamp to system tray plugin. When I'm not creating some playlist, etc., but I just let Winamp play music, I don't want it to appear in the alt+tab and similar chains. The plugin is called "One Click Show & Hide", and it includes some additional features. You can either use a single or a double click to show Winamp and then do it again to hide Winamp. When using single-click mode you may also bring Winamp to view if it is not the active window (ie hidden below another window, but not in the tray). The plugin will also let you program a global hotkey to enjoy minimizing without clicking (set the UI: Show/Minimize Winamp action).
Winamp Backup Plugin will let you very easily backup and restore all of your Winamp settings, media library database, plugin settings, skins, visualization presets, tray control icon packs, file type icon libraries, even your Winamp Pro reg data.
Jump to File Extra (JTFE) Winamp Plugin lets you queue files to play in an order that you specify. It will also let you have a "Remove Duplicates" entry at the Playlist Editor of Winamp; this will remove any duplicate tracks you might have added to your playlist accidentally. JTFE is normally included in the Winamp installation pack.
Auto Shutdown Plugin will play your favorite music and close (shutdown) the PC when the playlist is finished.
WMP Aero Winamp Skin is a modification of the original Windows Media Player for Winamp. Almost all the skin surface is transparent to some degree letting the desktop wallpaper appear a little. The cons is that the skin is a little large (it could be smaller easily), the equalizer hotkey (alt+g) won't work, there is no crossfade option!
Drone skin features alternate main window mode- slim main windowshade mode- skin configuration window- 7 custom beat visualizers- 'Notifier' with CD cover feature- more than 300 color themes.
EMP 2 skin is cool. When you open the Playlist, it immediately takes focus, which is very convenient, and of course total playtime is there, contrary to what other skins provide. Crossfade is also there, if you need it – trivial things, yet many great skins fail to support them!
3 enchanting round skins for Winamp. I happened to use first Bahmet's "Merv 4" skin for Winamp; then I discovered that Bahmet has made some more. Besides "Merv 4" I like also the "Fiery Gear" and the "Red Perl" (in this order). "New Night" lacks bit rate display, hence I don't recommend it, but I mention it. If you use Winamp and you like modern skins, you should give those 3 a try.
Windows Vista skin is well designed after Windows Vista and the interface of Windows Media Player 11, with the single annoyance of popping up tooltips anywhere the mouse may pass over. If you use the keyboard to control winamp this won't be a problem at all.
Spirit, Crystal, Aero Transparent Winamp Skins. Only a tiny percentage of Winamp skins are really transparent, among which my favorites are three: Spirit, Crystal and Aero Compact. Spirit is the most transparent of all, Crystal adds a little white, and Aero Compact adds a little black. Aero Compact, that I now use, because it is exceptionally elegant.
iPlay skin for Winamp is a theme that does not make many mistakes. Unfortunately it does not support the Crossfade option of Winamp. On the other hand it is easy to use, pleasant, elegant, ergonomic – a theme with a distinctive quality.
Winamp Modern Color Themes Pack helps you to upgrade the default modern skin of Winamp by applying a new color theme. Basic design won't change much, but the change of colors can offer some interesting effects, transformations and renovations.
Crossfading Output WinAmp Plugin a brother to Crossfading Writer by the same author, is a free Winamp output plugin that will let you mix audio files, applying a "crossfade" effect. The crossfade is made by an engine that supports non-linear crossfades and by automatic detection of the mixing point. The mixing engine has a sound analyzer, which monitors the level at the beginning and the end of each track, and adjusts the mixing point to obtain perfect crossfades.
Winamp Advanced Crossfading for CD Burning will let you mix audio files, and send the mixed result to a single or several WAV files. Generation of multiple WAV files, yet keeping the continuity of the mixed sound, is ideal for CD burning or for uploads to portable audio players.
Calculating total size (MB/GB) of winamp playlists is useful If you need to copy the songs of your playlist in a CD, DVD, Flash drive, etc.. Windows Media Player can do that by itself (at the "Properties" of the playlist), but not Winamp. To calculate the total size of a Winamp playlist you can download M3Util.
KMG DSP Dynamic Volume Plugin limits the volume range or dynamics of music. It automatically adjusts the Winamp volume to make loud music quieter and soft music louder.
TomSteady changes automatically playback volume, if your files are encoded in differing levels, being sometimes too loud or too quiet. TomSteady will help you prevent clipping and low volume hassles.
SoftAmp VirtualSound Winamp plugin for 3D sound produces a three dimensional sound with four independent virtual speakers. You can enjoy the sound coming from down under or from above! Reverberation effect is provided.
Winamp MPC Plugin will let you play mpc (and MPP or MP+) files in Winamp. The Winamp MPC Plugin supports ReplayGain and Crossfade Plugins.
If Winamp cannot play wav or wv files, download the WavPack Plugin.
Do you miss this great Winamp plugin that should appear on this list? Just drop a note!

Объявлены имена лауреатов Нобелевской премии - 2020 по физиологии и медицине
Стокгольм, 5 октября 2020 года.
Нобелевскую премию по физиологии и медицине в 2020 году присудили американским ученым Харви Альеру и Чарльзу Райсу, а также британскому вирусологу Майклу Хоутону за открытие вируса гепатита С и исследования в этой области.
"Впервые в истории вирус гепатита С теперь можно вылечить. Открытия лауреатов премии в области медицины выявили причину оставшихся случаев хронического гепатита и сделали возможными проведение анализов крови и применение новых лекарств, которые спасли миллионы жизней", — рассказали представители Нобелевского комитета при Каролинском медицинском институте.
Нобелевская неделя, как и всегда, стартовала в Стокгольме с объявления лауреатов в области физиологии или медицины. Имена нобелиатов по физике станут известны завтра, по химии — в среду. В четверг огласят, кто получил премию по литературе, в пятницу — премию мира, а в понедельник, 12 октября 2020 года, — премию памяти Альфреда Нобеля по экономике, учрежденную Госбанком Швеции в 1969 году.
По данных ВОЗ, около 70 миллионов человек заболевают ежегодно гепатитом С, а тысячи умирают от этой болезни. Открытие, сделанное нынешними лауреатами, называют вехой в борьбе с вирусными заболеваниями, так как оно позволило создать высокочувствительные анализы крови, устранить риск заражения при переливании крови и дало "старт быстрому созданию эффективных препаратов от гепатита С".
Выбор нынешних лауреатов определен членами Нобелевской ассамблеи Каролинского института, который находится в Стокгольме. Всего в этой ассамблее 50 профессоров Каролинского королевского института. Из их числа формируется рабочий орган - Нобелевский комитет. Это 5-6 человек, избираемые самой ассамблеей на три года. Нобелевский комитет получает и обрабатывает материалы очередного номинационного цикла, выносит предложения по возможным кандидатам на рассмотрение ассамблеи. Она собирается несколько раз в год, а в первый понедельник октября, как было и сегодня, большинством голосов избирает лауреата (лауреатов).
Согласно правилам, выдвигать кандидатов на премию можно с сентября до 31 января следующего года.
© Press release: The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2020
The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet
has today decided to award
the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine
jointly to
Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice
for the discovery of Hepatitis C virus
This year's Nobel Prize is awarded to three scientists who have made a decisive contribution to the fight against blood-borne hepatitis, a major global health problem that causes cirrhosis and liver cancer in people around the world.
Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice made seminal discoveries that led to the identification of a novel virus, Hepatitis C virus. Prior to their work, the discovery of the Hepatitis A and B viruses had been critical steps forward, but the majority of blood-borne hepatitis cases remained unexplained. The discovery of Hepatitis C virus revealed the cause of the remaining cases of chronic hepatitis and made possible blood tests and new medicines that have saved millions of lives.
Hepatitis – a global threat to human health
Liver inflammation, or hepatitis, a combination of the Greek words for liver and inflammation, is mainly caused by viral infections, although alcohol abuse, environmental toxins and autoimmune disease are also important causes. In the 1940's, it became clear that there are two main types of infectious hepatitis. The first, named hepatitis A, is transmitted by polluted water or food and generally has little long-term impact on the patient. The second type is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids and represents a much more serious threat since it can lead to a chronic condition, with the development of cirrhosis and liver cancer (Figure 1). This form of hepatitis is insidious, as otherwise healthy individuals can be silently infected for many years before serious complications arise. Blood-borne hepatitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and causes more than a million deaths per year world-wide, thus making it a global health concern on a scale comparable to HIV-infection and tuberculosis.
Figure 1 There are two main forms of hepatitis. One form is an acute disease caused by Hepatitis A virus that is transmitted by contaminated water or food. The other form is caused by Hepatitis B virus or Hepatitis C virus (this year's Nobel prize). This form of blood-borne hepatitis is often a chronic disease that may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
An unknown infectious agent
The key to successful intervention against infectious diseases is to identify the causative agent. In the 1960's, Baruch Blumberg determined that one form of blood-borne hepatitis was caused by a virus that became known as Hepatitis B virus, and the discovery led to the development of diagnostic tests and an effective vaccine. Blumberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976 for this discovery.
At that time, Harvey J. Alter at the US National Institutes of Health was studying the occurrence of hepatitis in patients who had received blood transfusions. Although blood tests for the newly-discovered Hepatitis B virus reduced the number of cases of transfusion-related hepatitis, Alter and colleagues worryingly demonstrated that a large number of cases remained. Tests for Hepatitis A virus infection were also developed around this time, and it became clear that Hepatitis A was not the cause of these unexplained cases.
It was a great source of concern that a significant number of those receiving blood transfusions developed chronic hepatitis due to an unknown infectious agent. Alter and his colleagues showed that blood from these hepatitis patients could transmit the disease to chimpanzees, the only susceptible host besides humans. Subsequent studies also demonstrated that the unknown infectious agent had the characteristics of a virus. Alter's methodical investigations had in this way defined a new, distinct form of chronic viral hepatitis. The mysterious illness became known as "non-A, non-B" hepatitis.
Identification of Hepatitis C virus
Identification of the novel virus was now a high priority. All the traditional techniques for virus hunting were put to use but, in spite of this, the virus eluded isolation for over a decade. Michael Houghton, working for the pharmaceutical firm Chiron, undertook the arduous work needed to isolate the genetic sequence of the virus. Houghton and his co-workers created a collection of DNA fragments from nucleic acids found in the blood of an infected chimpanzee. The majority of these fragments came from the genome of the chimpanzee itself, but the researchers predicted that some would be derived from the unknown virus. On the assumption that antibodies against the virus would be present in blood taken from hepatitis patients, the investigators used patient sera to identify cloned viral DNA fragments encoding viral proteins. Following a comprehensive search, one positive clone was found. Further work showed that this clone was derived from a novel RNA virus belonging to the Flavivirus family and it was named Hepatitis C virus. The presence of antibodies in chronic hepatitis patients strongly implicated this virus as the missing agent.
Figure 2 Summary of the discoveries awarded by this year's Nobel prize. The methodical studies of transfusion-associated hepatitis by Harvey J. Alter demonstrated that an unknown virus was a common cause of chronic hepatitis. Michael Houghton used an untested strategy to isolate the genome of the new virus that was named Hepatitis C virus. Charles M. Rice provided the final evidence showing that Hepatitis C virus alone could cause hepatitis.
The discovery of Hepatitis C virus was decisive; but one essential piece of the puzzle was missing: could the virus alone cause hepatitis? To answer this question the scientists had to investigate if the cloned virus was able to replicate and cause disease. Charles M. Rice, a researcher at Washington University in St. Louis, along with other groups working with RNA viruses, noted a previously uncharacterized region in the end of the Hepatitis C virus genome that they suspected could be important for virus replication. Rice also observed genetic variations in isolated virus samples and hypothesized that some of them might hinder virus replication. Through genetic engineering, Rice generated an RNA variant of Hepatitis C virus that included the newly defined region of the viral genome and was devoid of the inactivating genetic variations. When this RNA was injected into the liver of chimpanzees, virus was detected in the blood and pathological changes resembling those seen in humans with the chronic disease were observed. This was the final proof that Hepatitis C virus alone could cause the unexplained cases of transfusion-mediated hepatitis.
Significance of this Nobel Prize-awarded discovery
The Nobel Laureates' discovery of Hepatitis C virus is a landmark achievement in the ongoing battle against viral diseases (Figure 2). Thanks to their discovery, highly sensitive blood tests for the virus are now available and these have essentially eliminated post-transfusion hepatitis in many parts of the world, greatly improving global health. Their discovery also allowed the rapid development of antiviral drugs directed at hepatitis C. For the first time in history, the disease can now be cured, raising hopes of eradicating Hepatitis C virus from the world population. To achieve this goal, international efforts facilitating blood testing and making antiviral drugs available across the globe will be required (Figure 3).
Figure 3 The discoveries by the three Nobel laureates allowed the design of sensitive blood tests that have eliminated the risk of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis in a large part of the world. This breakthrough also enabled the development of antiviral drugs that can cure the disease. Hepatitis C remains a major global health concern, but the opportunity now exists to eliminate the disease.

Stocks rallied on Wednesday following breaking out above their week-long consolidation. The S&P 500 accelerated higher after breaking above 2,700 mark. Will the uptrend continue? Or is this just another advance within a consolidation following the October sell-off?
The U.S. stock market indexes gained 2.3-3.0% on Wednesday, as investors sentiment much improved following breaking out above the recent trading range. The S&P 500 index got back above the level of 2,700. It currently trades 6.7% below September the 21st record high of 2,940.91. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 2.5% and the Nasdaq Composite gained 3.0% on Wednesday.
The nearest important level of resistance of the S&P 500 index is now at 2,750, marked by some previous local highs. The resistance level is also at 2,780-2,800, among others. On the other hand, the level of support is at 2,680-2,700, marked by the recent resistance level.
Expectations before the opening of today's trading session are negative, because the index futures contracts trade 0.2-0.5% below their Wednesday's closing prices. The European stock market indexes have gained 0.2-0.6% so far. Investors will wait for another series of economic data announcements today: Personal Spending, Personal Income, Initial Claims at 8:30 a.m., Pending Home Sales at 10:00 a.m., the FOMC Meeting Minutes release at 2:00 p.m. The broad stock market will likely retrace some of its yesterday's rally today. We can see some short-term overbought conditions. However, there have been no confirmed negative signals so far.
The S&P 500 index accelerated its short-term uptrend yesterday after breaking above its week-long trading range and the resistance level of 2,700. For now it looks like an upward correction or an advance within almost two-month long consolidation. There have been no confirmed short-term negative signals so far. However we can see some technical overbought conditions.
Concluding, the S&P 500 index will likely open lower today. The market may correct some of its yesterday's rally this morning. However, it doesn't look like a downward reversal. We could see some more short-term volatility.

Wikileaks releases a user guide for CIA's CouchPotato project
By Gurkaran Singh Neowin @karansingh990 · Aug 11, 2017 04:14 EDT · Hot! with 8 comments
Government surveillance is one of the more trying issues we've had to face since the advent of the digital age. The lack of transparency from government agencies has led to the rise of such organizations as Wikileaks. While it has been accused of partisanship, anti-American narrative, and much more thanks to the eccentricity of its founder, it continues to leak confidential secrets of the CIA. The latest one is a user guide on a tool called CouchPotato.
A remote tool that allows for the collection of RTSP/H.264 video streams, CouchPotato can be used to "collect either the stream as a video file (AVI) or capture still images (JPG) of frames from the stream that are of significant change from a previously captured frame". FFmpeg and RSTP connectivity is used for encoding and decoding the streams.
They use a stripped down version of the FFmpeg software by removing unnecessary features along with various audio and video codecs. Instead, pHash, an image hashing algorithm, is incorporated to add the image change detection capabilities. This helps in reducing the binary footprint of the DLL. It relies on being launched in an ICE v3 Fire and Collect compatible loader.
The user guide consists of three sections that include an overview, prerequisites, and usage. The document strongly recommends to not launch out of a process that is critical to system stability such as services.exe as it may lead to a memory leak and open file handles. You can read the complete guide here.

Evacuees living near Rattlesnake Ridge allowed to return home
Kelsie Morgan
Posted: February 1, 2018 4:43 PM
by Kelsie Morgan
UNION GAP, Wash. — More than 70 people had to evacuate their homes near Yakima about a month ago because a major crack in Rattlesnake Ridge was causing a serious landslide threat.
Those people have now been told they can return to their homes, as the evacuation notice has been reduced from Level 3 to Level 1.
The shift comes after Governor Jay Inslee called for a new geologist to analyze the threat, who concluded the land probably won't cause a sudden slide.
"The time frame for this movement could drag out over quite some time. Up to years," said WSDOT's Chief Engineering Geolosit, James Scruthers.
Estimates now say the 4 million cubic yard, massive slab of rock will continue to move about 3 inches per day.
At that rate, the slide could take years, or even decades.
A sudden, major slide is still a possibility, but experts believe there would be warning signs with enough time to make sure people are out of the area.
"We're ready at a moment's notice, so if something were to change, we can ramp back up and meet the needs of public safety," said Director of Yakima Valley Emergency Management, Jeff Emmons.
For now, geologists are confident that neither the massive crack, or falling debris, will affect people living in the area, Interstate 82, or the Yakima River.
Emergency Management, and The Department of Natural Resources will continue to monitor the landslide threat, and re-issue mandatory evacuations if necessary.

Q: Can I run code *after* a built-in wxWidgets event is handled? I suspect there must be a built-in way to do this, but my Google-fu has failed me.
I'm using a wxScrolledWindow, and I have to paint an unscrolled background picture behind the contents each time the window is scrolled. I've made a scroll handler like this...
void homewindow_t::onScroll(wxScrollEvent &evt) {
    Refresh();
    evt.Skip();
}

...which works to force it to redraw the entire window each time. Unfortunately, it draws the window before the scroll is handled, so the background is repainted and then scrolled up or down, screwing up the alignment. The documentation suggests that Refresh just invalidates the screen, meaning that the scroll handler must be forcing a redraw.
The only way around this that I can see is to handle the scrolling code myself, which I'd rather not do if I don't have to.
Ideas, suggestions, clues...?

A: The only general solution I've found to running code after an event is handled is to post a second, different event to the event queue before skipping the current event (so that it gets handled by the default handler), and handle that when it comes up.
However, perusing the wxWidgets source code, I've found an answer to my specific problem: there's a function, wxScrolledWindow::EnableScrolling. Although it's not obvious from the name, this will enable or disable the "physical scrolling," which is what forces the instant redraw. So calling EnableScrolling(false, false); in the window's constructor solves the issue entirely.

A: To paint a "fixed" background in wxScrolledWindow you should just offset the DC origin to compensate for scrolling before drawing it (and then reset it back, of course), there is really no need to deal with events at all.
However if you really need to define a "post handler", then there is a way to do it, see this blog post. While the API described in it will only be available in wx 2.9.5, you do the same thing in the previous wx versions manually using wxEVT_IDLE.

Late last night as many had their eyes glued to screens cheering on the Patriots in the Superbowl, a small crew of pals got busy taking on one symbol of so-called Canada's nationalism: the RCMP. Within just minutes a handful of determined folks had destroyed all electronic keypad entries to the building, filled the manual locks with superglue and toothpicks, and dismantled the entry and exit systems to their gated police vehicle lot. Along the west windows we left what we came to say: "RCMP OFF WET'SUWET'EN LAND".
It has been 21 days since the violent invasion of RCMP into unceded Wet'suewet'en territory, but the armed siege has not ended. This action was intended to bring the battle a little closer to home, so we targeted the Stoney Creek detachment. It's easy to de-prioritize the many struggles taking place across continents, but it's always worthwhile to trace the roots of broader struggles closer to home. The RCMP continue to enforce a court order that has no legitimate standing, allowing TransCanada and Coastal GasLink to begin pre-construction for a 670km pipeline through unsurrendered homelands and a healing centre. While the initial spectacle begins to fade urgency remains; people are being removed and kept from their homes at gunpoint, traditional traplines are being destroyed, medicine and berry gathering areas bulldozed, and the pristine land and waters are becoming contaminated with diesel. The RCMP are doing their job as per usual, protecting state and capital. By having the audacity to set up a temporary detachment and checkpoint, they are only further criminalizing those trying to live on and protect their own territories.
Things cannot go on like this: let this action serve as a reminder of the importance of taking action – no matter how small – in the face of colonial capitalist exploitation. The Wet'suwet'en being forced to open their gates to industry under threat from the state was not consent, it is merely an opportunity for allies and accomplices to take action.
Get your friends together, stay up all night scheming, and even when you're tired GET EVEN!
Dear Hamilton, have I told you "I love you" lately?
<3 You guys fkg rock. Thank you for standing up and standing strong and standing brave and true to justice.
Where is this RCMPig outpost located, if I may ask..?
One thing is for certain concerning anarchist (and other) direct action, directed against NATO Pigs and other agents of 'our' oligarchic Neoliberal capitalist masters: that the so-called local 'leadership' of the working-class — here in Hamilton, represented by the likes of the 'Hamilton & District Labour Council', the OFL 'Ontario Federation of Labour', AND most all of the local trade union Apparatus, et al. — WILL invariably side with the ruling-class 'Forces of Order' and Private Property [over the public, social means of production], against ANY expression of actual working-class power.
The Labor Aristocracy long ago chose to side with their bourgeois overlords against Proletarian Democracy. 'The Spec' OTOH needs competition — and could easily be put out of business by a daily workers' paper AFAIC, considering how truly awful, incompetent and reactionary they are.

Really a really, really good read so far….Really…..Kp
Might be a good Christmas present idea for residents in the BPNMF region…try Amazon and don't forget BIG COLORING books for the kids…Remember, RIF…reading IS fundamental…
Nov. 5 FLYOVER of BPNMF
Posted by kpchronicle in BPNMF on th30. 020110000003632
A BIG HAT'S OFF to Andrew Ambrose for piloting us home safely after today's flyover of the BPNMF; also kudos to Aaron Wallace – aaronvalleytrees You Tube – and generational farm owner of the floodway for setting up the plane ride; BTW, AA is also a generational landowner and farmer in the area and recalled a cool story about a 1937 sand deposit left on land he farms today…While, obviously, not a lot of conversation took place during flight but enough to understand the importance of what we were seeing today – as opposed to my early May flight and AA's numerous flights with Randy Sutton. Wallace has documented the third activation site with incredible historical instinct. I can only post a few of these on the KRON, but will put full album on FACEBOOK this evening with explanation of the photos and a recount of what I saw then (early May) and what I photographed today..
This is the first shot as we approached the first activation at Birds Point. This shows the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers; the old Cairo bridge sits in the middle of this photo looking East….
The Confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers
You can vividly see where the Ohio meshes with the Mississippi in this photo; the tugboat just entered the Mississippi….
First activation point; 62.5 levee is far left; 51 foot adjoins...
This location is where the water first started flowing from the 9,000 foot breach into the floodway; the 2,000 unexploded section sets at bottom left of photo; reconstructed 51 foot levee adjoins…
close up view
An incredible amount of reconstruction has been done to this points. * see latest USACE update…..
Just wanted to get some of these posted; the initial ones I've put thru Photoshop; AW was filming video of the ride which he will upload later today on his aaronvalleytrees….; I snapped about 270 pics…so I will put the remainder of them on FB when I get them edited and content to go along for context; I'll also try to include relevant shots from my first flyover in early May….Again, thanks to Andrew Ambrose for taking us up…It was a cool ride and far different from what I saw after activation….;
More to follow…Kp
ANOTHER LOOK AT THE BPNMF
It's been six months since I've seen the Birds Point New Madrid Floodway from the air…; the last time was just days after activation. I had seen the north end just before May 2 in a helicopter fly over in the Governor's group that was detoured due to inclimate weather in the specific area we were intending to fly that day; including hail…*at a very ironic location.
The first time I went up during a flood was not during this Flood of Record, courtesy of Mark Stallings. My initial birds-eye view of an epic flood was in 1993 – I believe – with Senator Bond's representatives courtesy of the National Guard; I was filming for Rodney McConnell – the man who produced my early history and sports doucuemtnaires – who was compling the stuff for Tom Schutle of the Senator's staff…
That flood was focused in the south end of the BPNMF but more so in other parts upriver on the Mississippi. But, I remember that day being quite leery of sitting open-side on the right of the chopper; I was also strapped in with – at the time – bulky recording equipment so the crew took special care with my restraints.
Eventually leaning out seemingly over the craft getting a look at Big Oak Park; and then up the river to Commerce, where the crew landed; it was an awesome ride.
This time, – 2011 – with Mr. Stallings at the helm, it was a surreal event. Seeing the aftermath of the activation first hand just days after the water began streaming into the floodway. It still boggles my mind and I saw it – and took photos of it; but it still all seems so surreal….
Tomorrow, I will have the privilege of being flown by Mr. Andrew Ambrose and will be accompanied by aaronvalleytrees documentarian and generational land owner in the floodway – Aaron Wallace.
For the record,I have seen this stretch of the water all my lifetime; In fact, learning how to water ski in the Hickman Bend during summer pool in the mid 70's; I have crossed the Dorena Hickman Ferry a century of times if once…
I've looked at it from every bluff in Kentucky with a view; looked at Google maps and fished and swam in many parts of it…so, I felt like I knew it well…but, after looking at it from above – -flooded –beyond comprehension; and then travleing in a jon boat over the roads I'd driven on but this time using telephone poles as markers thru the waters courtesy of Mr. Pete Story I had a different view of the ground I grew up on…
No, I don't have a financial stake in the floodway. I am not a farmer. But I loved that land, too. It mean a lot to me – and my memories. And, I have talked to enough iconic figures in the floodway long before; and during and subsequent to the flooding of their homelands….
They're still in shock. No other way to describe it. I had a talk with one *gentleman – who I will keep anonymous – that owned a good deal of ground in the floodway and had a home in the water. Raised a wonderful family; happily married and settled – so it seemed – into his twilight years….
That's all changed now. And, it makes him sad.
I'm going up due to continuing interest in the reconstruction of the floodway. Mr. Ambrose is being generous with his time and Aaron Wallace continues to put together a monumental piece of historical documentation.
So, wish us luck and the Lord willing and creek don't rise again, I'll post photos tomorrow evening….Kp
Another side of General Walsh…
As Major General Michael Walsh will soon be finished with his duties as President of the Mississippi River Commission and head to Washington, D.C. to continue his career, here's a different look at the man who made the difficult decision to activate the Birds Point New Madrid Floodway….
…"I'm from Brooklyn, New York; I went to Brooklyn Technical High School," said the General in conversation outside of his official press conference held Friday at the Middle Crevasse.
"…in our part of the world you ask people what high school you went to and that tells you where you're from in different areas, so that's kind of a New York question you asked, what high school you went to. That's something we do all the time as opposed to around here where you ask where your family is from whereas in New York they ask where you went to high school. So that was a good question."
I then followed up with this nugget; KP: "Where did you matriculate in college?
MG Walsh: "I went…my Dad was a bricklayer and he said I could go to college anywhere I could afford myself and the subway would take me to. So the next stop on the subway was a place called Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute of New York, so that's where I went to my engineering school."
The talk then turned to the World Series and who his favorite team was…
"I've been following the Yankees for more than a little while and my wife is from the Bronx so if I wasn't a Yankee fan before I married her I certainly am now…"
I then asked the General about his prior posts.
"Prior to taking this command I was commander of the Gulf Region Division in Iraq. I worked directly for General (David) Patreaus and prior to him getting there worked directly for Gen. (George) Casey.
"So I was building infrastructure in that country. Not only water infrastructure but rail, transportation, electricity, schools, hospitals and things of that sort."
I interjected, somewhat in awe, sounding like a dummy to the General I'm sure, "Iraq?"
Walsh replied, "In Iraq."
Then, continued on with the interview with not a hint of condescension to my goofy comment.
"Prior to that I was commander of South Atlantic Division; same job that I have here only covered down on the east coast so I was working water resources on that part and we had nine hurricanes during those three years so we spent a lot of time chasing Hurricanes across Florida and there into the Carolinas."
Walsh will be moving to Washington, D.C., to assume his new post soon.
"I change command on the 10th of November and General Peabody, a really good fellow, John Peabody is coming in from the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. He's going to take over for me and really carry it on…he'll become the President of the Mississippi River commission as well, and I'll go to Washington and I'll be the Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency Operations."
"So, what I've been doing here at the center part of the country. I'll have those responsibilities for the entire country."
It'll be in good hands. We then talked on what transpired during the activation of the BPNMF.
"Certainly – and you've heard me from the 30th of April – as how to describe this flood. If it's an epic flood, a historical flood. I kind of look at it now from a white knucke flood. Everybody's hands were just wringing on did we make the right decision; too early, too late. Did we save lives…
"I can tell you from the other side of making those decisions not a single life was lost and we're really quite proud of the system that was put in place by those folks after the 1927 flood. They decided to put something likes this together and the nation rallied around and put 13 billion dollars to put the Mississippi Rivers Tributaries Project into effect."
"So I was really proud to be one of those (MRC) Presidents that were able to operate this (BPNMF) from what people thought about in 1927 and very happy to have this system in place."
"In 1927, 500 people lost their lives. This year, nobody lost their life."
I then asked the General, "if we ever have to do this again, we'll be working off the 2011 revision of the 1986 revised plan based on the original 1927 plan. Isn't that accurate?l
"Right now we're putting the system back together as it was authorized by congress and it's the '86 plan. We're not going to update it until we get the additional funds to figure out whether we're going to leave it in place at 62.5 and explosively operate it or if there's going to be something else."
"At this point, we're putting it in place – funding dependent – at 62.5 and explosively operate the system."
What is the purpose of the press conference today *(Oct. 21)?
"The discussion today is, one, to come out and look where we are in the progress and renew our committment to get to 51 feet by the end of November and to inform folks that we are able to bring it up 55 feet funding dependent."
Kaylie LaChelle and Mason Lee meet the GENERAL....
*(Walsh received notification of the approved funding at 1414 hours Oct. 21 just prior to the beginning of the press conference.)
Walsh on the amount of work done by the USACE: "There's about $22 million worth of funds that have been pushed into this project to put this back to the 51 feet. So a good portion of the funds that have been harvested from across America coming into this…which of the $75 million, $25 million of those funds, one-third of funds available to me are coming right here…"
And, the final question dealt with the significance of the 'coins' awarded by the General to USACE workers.
"Considering I have two titles; one is the commander of the Mississippi Valley Division and one is the President of the MRC; the medallion have on one side the commander's thanks and the (MRC's) thanks on the other side."
Glad I got that pertinent issue cleared up. From the looks on the workers who received them, they are cherished items.
I will have a personal look at Colonel Vernie Reichling coming soon on the Kp Chronicle…
Corps update: Oct. 24…notice to proceed…
The systems approach mentioned often by Major General Michael Walsh at a Friday press briefing at the Middle Crevasse, is being put in motion as indicated by a USACE release today (Oct. 24).
Corps issues Notices to Proceed on construction work in Cairo, Ill. Area
MEMPHIS, Tenn., OCT. 24, 2011 – The Memphis District, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers announced today that they have issued two Notices to Proceed for construction contracts
in the Cairo, Ill. area.
A Notice to Proceed was issued Oct. 20, for contractor Inquip & Associates,Inc.
of McLean, Va., to begin construction of a slurry trench above Cairo, Ill.
This project is located along the Upper Mississippi River in southern Ill.
and is aimed at addressing areas of under seepage that have been identified within the levee system.
A Notice to Proceed was issued Oct. 19, for contractor Quaternary Resources
of Baton Rouge,La., to begin construction of Relief Wells above Cairo, Ill. This project
consists of furnishing all labor and materials for the construction of 28 wells. This
work will also address areas of under seepage in the levee system.
Work is expected to begin on the relief wells on Monday, Oct. 24 and the
slurry trench no later than Nov. 1.
The Confluence area has been a serious concern from the USACE perspective. Exhaustive study and geo-technical analysis was conducted to determine the 55′ interim level the Corps decided to raise the level to on the upper crevasse that would not cause undue stress to other parts of the system.
This historic junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers is marvelous item to research….
To be cont.,…

Interesting, but when you complete the "test puzzle" it does not return the "Congratulations ... " msg confirming the correct solution .
With respect to the Shift + left/right arrow keys it does not apparently work on my keyboard, after pressing, i.e., Shift + left arrow key it simply removes the cursor (orange) indicator leaving the cell in white and "after" this no operator can be entered, no additional action shown.
Thanks for testing, can you send a screenshot of the completed puzzle?
Are you able to enter guesses in cells by using the shift key?
Guesses are correctly entered with the shift key, this feature works well on my keyboard, though anyway I never use guesses, I use to place the candidates anywhere in the cage, one number per cell.
The screenshot shot I obtain in this no-op just says the usual "(Note that you have already solved this puzzle)", which in one hand is logical being a yesterday's solved puzzle, but I was waiting a "new" "Congrats" msg for this experimental puzzle. In your case, had you solved the puzzle yesterday? or, you have solved it for the first time today as no-op?, that could make the difference.
It looks like you have to enter all the operators as well as the numbers in order for the puzzle to be considered solved. I did this, and then I had to re-enter one of the numbers in the cage at [1,d-e] in order for it to turn green.
solutions). No examples/proof yet though..
Last edited by pnm on Sat May 25, 2013 3:04 pm, edited 1 time in total.
after you change an operator, will fix..
First: Now the Shift + right arrow produces the operators on my keyboard, holding the Shift key and pressing the right arrow 1, 2, 3 or 4 times to obtain "+", "-", "x" and ":"; but when holding Shift + left arrow 1, 2 and 3 times it returns to "-", "+" and "no-op" skipping the "x", that is, from the division operator jumps to the subtraction skipping the multiplication ???. Apart of this, perhaps the instructions given below the diagram would be more clear in this way " ... for a cage holding the Shift key and pressing the required number of times the right/left arrow keys."
Second: I am having the same experience as mparisi so to get the "Congrats" msg it is necessary to enter all operators and then re-enter one of the numbers in any cage.
Third: Observing the diagram (reproduced here) the cages "5x", "3x" and "2x" could have been "5:", "3:" and "2:", nine combinations with these operators, so not unique solution with respect to operators (unique with respect to the position of numbers in the grid) and in fact any of those possibilities is accepted as good and the "Congrats" msg shown, this is OK as already commented (for the moment) though the ideal situation is perhaps the total unicity so that all puzzlers have the same solution.
Four: Now the May 23, 2013 6x6 medium is "locked" to the no-op puzzle so if you visit this date and puzzle you directly get the experimental puzzle and not the original one .
Good catch, thanks, fixed now.
That has been fixed now too.
I think I prefer that: you're only required to set the cages to operators that work.
Very interesting and a little bit more difficult, in my opinion, though being a 5x5. But it seems that the switch has not "swapped" to the May 21, 2013, 5x5 difficult, now there are two no-op puzzles, the previous May 23, 6x6 and this one.

Canoo reveals electric delivery van, plans for pickup, microfactories
BEN KLAYMAN
The Canoo all-electric multi-purpose delivery vehicle is seen in an artist's rendering.
DETROIT -- Electric vehicle startup Canoo, which is going public through a reverse merger with a special-purpose acquisition company, revealed Thursday its second scheduled vehicle, a delivery van, and laid out plans to add a pickup truck and build microfactories.
Canoo said it will offer two size variants on the delivery vehicle, which will carry a starting price of about $33,000. It will launch the vehicle in limited numbers in late 2022 with wider distribution in 2023.
"The multipurpose delivery platform is not just about delivering goods, it's about delivering use cases on top of it," Canoo Executive Chairman Tony Aquila said in an interview.
Aquila, who was named to his position in October, said Canoo plans to add a pickup, pushing beyond plans for the pod-like, seven-seat canoo in the second quarter of 2022, the delivery vehicle and a sport sedan in 2025. He did not disclose the timing for the truck.
"You'll see us introduce a full lineup of product," he said.
Canoo has developed a "skateboard" -- a low-rise platform that bundles batteries and electric motors with such chassis components as steering, brakes and wheels -- on which a variety of vehicle body types can be built.
While Canoo, which is scheduled to go public later this month under the trading symbol "GOEV" through its deal with special-purpose acquisition company Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV , is pushing to close a contract manufacturing deal with supplier Magna International. It also intends to build vehicles itself in microfactories, Aquila said.
Los Angeles-based Canoo said the delivery vehicle will have almost 30 percent more parcel volume than rivals.
Demand for electric delivery vehicles has surged and numerous companies, including Ford Motor Co., General Motors, Daimler's Mercedes, and startups Rivian and Arrival, are developing similar vehicles.
Canoo, which is working with South Korea's Hyundai Motor , said the delivery vehicle will be fully connected with data reporting capabilities, and feature self-driving technology and over-the-air software updates.
The two variants -- multipurpose delivery vehicle 1 (MPDV1) and multipurpose delivery vehicle 2 (MPDV2) -- are expected to offer three battery sizes, with an estimated EPA EV driving range of 130 to 230 miles, and 90 miles to 190 miles, respectively.
The vehicle will debut in the U.S., followed by Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Canoo said it plans to introduce a third, larger variant in the class 3 truck category.

Well, I might as well face it. I'm probably going to ruffle a few feathers here but I sincerely pray you see my point before judging. At a revival last night the preacher was talking about the fear of the Lord no longer exists. It no longer exists in America, in our homes and even in our churches. We have all seen the kids who have no respect for their parents. I admit, I am probably the first one thinking to myself "he/she wouldn't talk to me like that". Bare with me here…I'm not just picking on kids. Shamefully, I was quite a rebellious kid myself. Just last week at my church one of the ladies had to chase down a young girl to cover up her behind. The short top and low cut pants were understandably too much to bare in the house of the Lord.
So here is my point. We see all of the rebellious children today. We see the parents who did not make them mind. Many parents are actually scared of their children now. The children have no fear what so ever of their parents. The children do not respect them. They do what they want, when they want. Now, let's look at the larger picture. I wonder what God thinks when He looks down on His children. I wonder how the Lord feels about His Word being diluted so much, by His very own children, that it's almost unrecognizable. I wonder what He thinks when we turn the praise and worship meant for Him into entertainment for us? I wonder how he feels about our schedule? We will allow Him four songs to touch His children…then time is up, must proceed as planned.
I was at a service 3 nights this week where God moved so mightily. I can't idolize that service but I can still get on my face and thank the Lord for His moving that touched so many lives, including mine. These were old time Pentecostal services where the Holy Spirit was in control from beginning to end. We weren't on a schedule. People were healed both spiritually and physically. They didn't need inspiration but were drawn by God's Holy Spirit. These are the services where the presence of the Lord is so heavy, a rebellious heart is melted when God's love is poured out. I know this because this is the type of service I was saved in. I remember that pull, the draw, the heaviness of the presence of the Lord. I knew the arrow of the Holy Spirit was aimed directly at my heart by the words coming out of the preacher's mouth. So when I'm in a service now, seeing young people turn to the Lord, I'm so thankful to God for the preacher who is being led by the Holy Spirit. I'm thankful for the preacher who will stretch that altar call out as long as he needs to, until the conviction of the Holy Spirit is too much for that sinner to bare and he runs and collapses at the alter. I'm thankful for the preacher who is speaking out what the Lord has put on his heart for that sinner to hear. I'm thankful for the brothers and sisters in Christ who, when the sinner finally comes to the altar, fall on their knees and praise God for saving that sinner.
How long has it been since we have seen a sinner saved? I don't mean a box checked on a card or a hand raised while heads are bowed. I mean a repentant sinner saved. I know, I know… I'm not judging. God knows peoples hearts. Our humility and gratitude towards the Lord is our witness of His mercy. Jesus and His Cross are nothing to be ashamed of. Is the draw of the Holy Spirit thwarted by the compromise of the altar call? I realize one can be saved anywhere, anytime but at the Lord's house shouldn't He be given latitude to do His work instead of us doing ours?
Getting back to my point – fear of the Lord. In our zealous attempt to correct legalism in the church, have we turned God into a pushover? Remember, the devil doesn't care what we call it as long as we don't focus on Christ and Him crucified. Do we really think the Lord will allow His children to lose their fear of Him? Respect in the house of the Lord is not legalism but fear. The fear of suddenly seeing a man's finger begin to write on the wall (Daniel 5:5). All of the pastors who are not compromising or diluting God's Word are being persecuted. They are being called hypocrites because they will not allow homosexuals to serve in their church. This is not their word they are standing on, it is the Word of God. This is once again called fear of the Lord. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. Did I use to do any of these things? Yes, more than I'm willing to discuss. Have I repented? Yes. Do I still live in these sins? No. Am I forgiven? Absolutely! I'm washed in the Blood of the Lord. The Lord has paid my debt for those sins and I am grateful AND respectful of the Blood He shed for me. Don't crucify the pastors who are preaching the Gospel of Jesus. Don't call them legalistic for having fear of the Lord. Yes, we all fall short. The difference is the repentance verses rebellion. As a Christian, when we fall we immediately look up and say "Oh Lord, I'm so sorry. Will you help me?" We don't judge others for their sins because many of us have committed the exact same sin.
The conviction and draw of the Holy Spirit is what led us to repentance. It is for that very same reason that we cannot now compromise that conviction to "draw" you into a false religion. If you are truly seeking God and not compromise, you will find Him. A compromising church offers up a compromising counterfeit. They will send one straight to hell with a belly full of hot dogs and hamburgers. The lust to build a shrine to attract the members will lead to the need to compromise the Word to tickle those same members ears who were attracted by the shrine and not drawn by the Holy Spirit. However, the zeal for the truth of the Gospel of Jesus and Him Crucified is when Heaven rejoices. Good intentions won't save souls but good preachin' will point the lost to Jesus for their answer instead of trying to give them a methodology to follow (that's a fancy word for works).

Here's an unbelivable team-up of fan art that came into the Peanizles studios. Not only do we get a team up of Chuck as a barbarian warlord and Succotash as a fully armored warrior knight, but the piece of fan-art was drawn by the barbaric duo of Willem and Drew, from Massachusetts! Wow. Chuck has never looked as good as he goes in a Viking, horned helmet (well, except for when he hangs with Flavor Flav).
Thanks guys! And keep all the fantastic artwork coming!
Wow! This amazing piece of fan-art came in from 9 year old Isaiah, from North Andover, Massachusetts.
Chuck absolutely loved this interpretation of himself with a pair of way cool shades and rocking a new cap.
As always, thanks, and keep all the amazing fan-art, letters and good vibes coming!!!
