The Hercules is a pre-flash shuttle design outfitted for the purposes of carrying assault troops or to act a gun ship or heavy fighter. Unlike the Star Hawk, the Hercules was designed from the outset to perform this job, and they succeeded very well in this role. Although the ships are much larger than can be expected for most normal fighters, they have an increased amount of maneuvering thrusters, improved evasion software, and as result the Hercules is more maneuverable than a normal shuttle. The shuttle is capable of trans-atmospheric flight and is aerodynamic with a large sleek lifting body design. Two fins extend from the outmost edges of the body. It looks quite menacing, and radiates power. Shark mouth paint schemes are quite popular with the crews. These shuttles are currently being made in the Ceres shipyard, and are in use by the combined USSF / ESDF forces. They are not sold on the open market.
The ship is divided into three compartments. One compartment contains the shuttle's crew, one compartment is a passenger compartment, and the final compartment is a cargo bay. The cargo back may carry passengers by the use of special seating set up as pallets in the cargo bay. The cargo bay may also be used to carry larger robots and power armors. The ship can also carry 20 heavy power armors or robot vehicles instead of power armors. In these cases, a small number of power armor or troops can still be carried.
The engines are the same FT-1500 second generation fusion pulse engines that power the Star Talon fighter, they use power from the shuttle's fusion reactor to use the shuttle's reaction mass to provide an incredible thrust to weight ratio. This engine is not equaled by any engine on Rifts earth or in the orbital community.
These ships carry a good amount of weapons. The shuttle has 3 triple ion pulse cannon turrets, a kinetic Energy Missile launcher in the hull, 15 mini-missile launchers, and a large number of missiles on hard points along the bottom and top of the shuttle. The ship also has a chaff launcher to decoy missiles, and an advanced jamming system. In sensors, the shuttle has the same sensor systems as the Star Talon fighter, giving it excellent detection capabilities. It can also carry the same reconnaissance pod as the Star Talon, at the cost of four of its hard points. Its hull has been clad with ceramic heat shielding, causing all plasma and heat based weapons to do half damage.
Because of a lack of large capital ships, the USSF / ESDF use these shuttles as patrol boats too. The conversion is easy: mounted on standard cargo pallets are extra fuel tanks and a large life support / crew compartment. The extra fuel increases the shuttles range by another seven days at 0.6 G acceleration, and the crew compartment holds a small exercise room, improved sleeping quarters and life support for a regular crew of 20 men (5 shuttle crew, 15 light power armor pilots). The entire conversion takes 4 hours for a team of competent mechanics, and takes up the entire cargo hold. Add a reconnaissance pod to the bottom of the shuttle, and the conversion to medium range patrol ship is complete.
Troops: 15 light power armors pilots (either Space SAMAS or Space Predator) with a cargo load in addition to troops. Can carry up to 80 light power armor pilots with special pallet style seating and all space used except space used for power armors. If a fuel tank pallet is also loaded, reduce numbers to 55 light power armor troops total, or 15 light power armor and 10 heavy power armor.
 For each 150 MD damage done to a turret one Ion Pulse cannon is destroyed. When the 450 MD are depleted the turret is destroyed.
 Destruction of the shuttle's rudders causes the pilot to lose control of the shuttle. The shuttle can be piloted by varying the power levels of the engines and vectoring the thrusters but the shuttle has a penalty of -10 to dodge, and a -30% penalty to all piloting rolls if operating in an atmosphere. Has no effect if the shuttle is operating in space.
 The Destruction of one engine reduces the ship's acceleration by one eight. The destruction of two Ion Engines reduces the ship's acceleration by one quarter, etc. Destroying all eight Fusion Pulse Engines means that the maximum sublight acceleration is reduced to ten percent of normal (using navigational thrusters).
Driving on Ground (Taxiing): Only possible for take offs and landings as well as for parking and storage. Speed is 40 mph (64 kph) when traveling and not on take off or landing.
Flying; In atmosphere: The shuttle can achieve escape velocity (Mach 32.6 / 24,170 mph / 38,900 kph) within 12 minutes. The shuttle has a maximum acceleration of 4.8 G. When the shuttle is operating within an atmosphere, pilot will normally keep velocity below Mach 5 (3,707.3 mph / 5966.3 kph).
Flying; Space: The shuttle does not have an effective top speed but is limited by acceleration. The shuttle can reach a top acceleration of 4.8 G but is normally limited to 0.6 or 1.2 G except when trying to escape the atmosphere.
Maximum Effective Range: Conditionally unlimited, while the fusion reactor gives power for two decades of service, when the assault shuttle is operating in space, it is limited by the ships reaction mass. The reaction mass consists of mainly Deuterium (Hydrogen 2) and Helium 3. The shuttle can be refueled at ground based facilities, space stations, and star ships as long as they have the special facilities. The ship can also be refueled by fuel shuttles.
The shuttle carries 2 weeks of reaction mass for travel at 0.6 G of acceleration. Double the consumption of fuel for 1.2 G of acceleration and double the consumption of fuel for each additional 0.6 G of acceleration. This means the shuttle will burn 128 times faster at 4.8 G than at 0.6 G. This allows the shuttle just over 2 hours of fuel at 4.8 G. A special pallet holding extra fuel tanks can be fitted, this gives one extra week of reaction mass at 0.6 G. The shuttle will often accelerate for a period of time and then shut down the engine and travel using the shuttle velocity. If the shuttle uses more than half of its reaction mass when accelerating, the shuttle will be unable to decelerate fully and the shuttle will normally only use a third or less of its fuel on accelerating so it does not run into a problem. If the shuttle runs out of fuel then it must be recovered by another vehicle traveling faster or be lost.
The shuttle's engine acts like the conventional engines used on other nuclear powered aircraft while operating within an atmosphere except provides more thrust to the shuttle than any engines presently on Rifts Earth and the engines do not use reaction mass while operating in an atmosphere.
Cost: The Shuttle would be worth about 500 million IOU in the orbital community.
KEM-2000 Kinetic Energy Missile: (1): Mounted in the nose of the shuttle, this is a more powerful version of the weapon mounted in the Star Talon. The weapon launches a large rod of high tensile strength mega-damage material. The rod is initially driven by a rail gun and uses a rocket propellant to increase the speed to even greater speeds. This weapon reaches incredible speeds by this method. The missile travels at 7.500 mph (12,030 kph) faster than the shuttle when it launches the projectile. These missiles can be used against unmoving targets beyond the weapons normal range when used in space but suffers the same penalties that normal missiles do.
Maximum Effective Range: 12,000 feet (3,650 m) in an atmosphere and 96,000 feet (28,800 m) in space.
Three (3) Triple Ion Pulse Cannon Turrets: Each turret holds three Ion Pulse Cannons. The cannons are equal to those on the Star Talon Fighter but have better range. Each turret can rotate 360 and has a 180 arc of fire. Two of the turrets are on the top of the ship (one left, one right) and one is on the bottom of the shuttle. The weapon turrets are used for missile defense, anti-fighter and power armor, and against large starships. Normally all three cannons are fired together.
Maximum Effective Range: 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) through atmosphere and 64,000 feet ( 19,200 meters) in space.
Mega-Damage: 1D6x10 per single pulse. 3D6x10 M.D. per triple pulse (counts as one attack).
Mini Missile launchers (15): Mounted on both sides of the shuttle, in the front third of the body are two clusters of five mini missile launchers. A third cluster is located in the rear of the shuttle. The launchers are fitted flush with the skin of the shuttle. Each launcher has ten reloads, and if one of the launchers in a cluster is damaged, its remaining reloads can be fed to the other launchers in that cluster. Mini missiles are generally used for point defense against power armors, fighters and missiles.
Missile Hard Points (30): The shuttle is designed to carry missiles on hard points on the main body of the shuttle. The Shuttle has twenty hard points on the bottom of the main body and five hard points on top of the body close to each "wingtip". Because of the limited usefulness of bombs in space operations, the shuttle is designed to carry only missiles and not bombs. Each Hard Point can carry one long range missile or a mixture of lighter ordinance at the rate of two medium range missiles or four short range missiles for each long range missile. Missile are assumed to accelerate at 2 times normal mach speed in Gs greater than the starships speed when used in space. Missiles can be launched at non moving targets beyond the powered range of the missiles to hit targets without the chance of the launching ship being hit by missiles itself but penalties exist when launching missiles beyond normal missile range. Missile launchers are normally controlled by the Co-Pilot but the pilot has emergency controls.
Payload: 30 long range missiles, 60 medium range missiles, or 120 short range missiles or a mixture of different missile sizes.
Hardened Circuitry and Electromagnetic Shielding: All electronics and computers on the shuttle are constructed with hardened circuitry and the ship itself is built with shielding to prevent EMP and jamming from damaging circuitry. The effect is that jamming and EMP will not damage any system while it can blind the ship's radar and radio communication system. Laser systems will not be effected by jamming.
Heat Shielding: The shuttles hull is made out of heat shielding ceramic materials. The shielding causes plasma weaponry to do half damage to the Hercules shuttle.
Radar: Range of 500 miles (805 km) in an atmosphere and 50,000 miles (80,500 km) in space., the system can identify and track up to 96 targets simultaneously, It is also capable of Terrain Following for low altitude flight. The shuttle can fire missiles at up to twenty four targets at the same time using this system. The weapons officer frees the pilot from controlling the missiles so he can retain his full attacks.
Laser Navigational System: Allow flight at low altitude without use of Radar. Gives a map of the Terrain.
Reconnaissance Pod: The center hard points can carry a reconnaissance pod in place of missiles. This Pod included a neutrino sensor, a enhanced quality radar, higher visual magnification, and high quality data recording system.
Neutrino Sensor: All fusion and fission reactors output neutrinos (So do stars and anti-matter systems as well). The ship uses a specialized magnetic field to capture and focus neutrinos into a sensor designed to detect neutrinos. The system also eliminates neutrinos from the sun although it is impossible to detect a target if the sun is directly in the sensor as well due to the sun overloading the ability of the system to detect neutrinos. The Neutrino sensor has a range of 50 miles (80 km) in an atmosphere and has a range of 5,000 miles (8,050 km) in space. The sensor has a 35% chance of being able to be able to differentiate between fusion and fission reactors.
Radar: Range of 800 miles (1,288 km) in an atmosphere and 80,000 miles (128,750 km) in space., the system can identify and track up to 1024 targets simultaneously although it is not a targeting radar. It is also gives the fighter the ability to make high quality radar maps using this system.
Visual Magnification: Visual magnification multiplies all images by about 5000 times which allows visual identification and tracking of fighter sized objects out to 400 to 500 miles.
COMBAT BONUSES: The Hercules is very maneuverable and very accurate for a shuttle. Use the Phase World Starfighter combat (Elite or Basic) skill. These bonuses are in addition to those from the piloting skill.

With the Commercial and Home Wine Competitions now just fading memories, the 2018 OC Fair is fast approaching, and the OCWS is geared up to run our most important fundraising effort of the year—The Courtyard at the OC Fair. This year's Fair theme is "Free Your Inner Farmer," and the Fair runs Wednesdays through Sundays, beginning on Friday, July 13 and concluding on Sunday, August 12. The Fair was attended by over 1,400,000 people last year, so The Courtyard clearly provides us with a perfect venue for reaching lots of people with our mission of wine education.
In exchange for running the OC Fair's wine competitions, the Orange County Fair and Events Center affords us the opportunity to run The Courtyard and realize the income therefrom. In addition to the income received from The Courtyard funding the wine competitions, it also provides funds for our year round overhead and, by way of donations, for our Scholarship Program. So, it is of utmost importance to the organization that The Courtyard be a huge success! It takes over 300 OCWS volunteers to man The Courtyard during the Fair. Whether you are a new volunteer or a seasoned veteran at The Courtyard, this is your opportunity to support the fundraising efforts of the Orange County Wine Society.
In addition to hosting The Courtyard during the OC Fair, some of the most knowledgeable and experienced OCWS members will be conducting wine seminars on Saturdays and Sundays. Check out the seminar schedule on the OCWS website and come learn something new about wines and wine pairings that you may not know you don't already know.
So, if you seek fun, don't miss coming out and freeing your inner farmer with wine fun at the Fair! I look forward to seeing you there.
The support of the Judges at the 2018 Commercial Wine Competition knows no bounds. In addition to the Judges, with the exception of a small stipend, paying their own way to attend and judge, each year a handful donate back their stipends to create a Judge's Scholarship, which is then granted in their honor by the OCWS. This year, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to those Judges who, collectively, donated $2,000 toward our mission of scholarship fundraising for grants in enology, viticulture and culinary arts.
Special thanks to the following judges for their kindness and generosity: Brent Amos from Las Positas Vineyards; Joseph S. Franzia from Forest Glen Winery; Ondine Chattan from Cannonball Wines; Jessica Gasca from Story of Soil; Alfredo Koch from Allen Hancock Community College; Steve Lohr from J. Lohr Winery; Stephen Rasmussen from Westgate Cellars; H. Marty Spate from Meridian; Fred Weibel, Jr. from Weibel Family Vineyards & Winery; and Evelyn White.
We urge all our OCWS members to support their businesses, and if your paths cross with these generous people in your travels, to please thank them personally and relay to them just how much their caring ways mean to all of us. Thank you.
The Wine Society would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Graber Olive House for their friendship, generosity and continued support over the years.
Graber Olive House has provided their specialty olives to the Commercial Wine Competition for many years. As you know, palate assault can be extreme even though wine judges may expectorate every sip. The acidity in white wines and tannins in red wines can be a painful experience after a full day of tasting. A small cup of Graber olives placed alongside each judge neutralizes the elements in both reds and whites, work wonders for the palate and taste fantastic, too.
Graber Olive House is located in quiet, serene surroundings. Visitors will be delighted to discover a bit of early California when they visit. Along with olives, Graber Olive House offers many other products, such as crisp California almonds and pistachios, California dessert fruits, olive oils and elegant gift baskets. When in or driving through Ontario, visit Graber Olive House and pick up a few cans of olives and other items. You can also visit their website at GraberOlives.com to have products shipped directly to you.

My research is focused on the usage of mathematical and computational approaches to attack biological problems in a mechanistic and meaningful way. Enhancing our knowledge by extracting information from the vast sea of biological data.
Codon Usage Bias
The usage of synonymous codons encoding for the same amino acid differs between organisms and even within a single genome. One signal for the heterogeneity of codon usage bias (CUB) is varying GC-content. The yeast Lachancea kluyveri is an example of an organism having a remarkable shift in GC-content: one contiguous 1 Mb region of the genome has a GC-content of 53% versus 40% in the rest of the genome (Payen et al. 2009). When ignoring this heterogeneity, conventional approaches fail to accurately identify the optimal codon. We find that mutational bias towards GC-rich codons is responsible for the shift in GC-content, rather than differing selection pressures on translation efficiency. We applied ROC SEMPPR (Gilchrist et al. 2015), a mechanistic model, to estimate selection on translation efficiency in high expression genes, expression level, and mutational bias and deconstructed the contribution of selection and mutation to the evolution of CUB of individual genes. Our results show that the whole genome exhibits a similar signature of selection but mutation bias appears to be driving this significant intra-genomic shift. This work provides insights into the role of mutation bias on GC-content and provides a template for detecting differences in mutation and selection environments across tissues and organisms.
Spread of Invasive Species
The shipping industry is an important unintentional pathway for novel species introductions, and is responsible for some of the largest invasions in history (e.g., rats). Understanding the patterns of species movement through shipping routes will provide vital information for preventing future invasions. Yet surprisingly few studies have attempted to model these introductions using empirical shipping networks (Kaluza et al. 2010, Seebens et al. 2013), and none have attempted to do so with terrestrial species. Creating a mathematical model that predicts how shipping networks move both terrestrial and marine species across the globe is therefore an important task. Using shipment data from actual cargo routes, will help to visualize the system as a network, where major harbors are represented as nodes and ship movements as edges between them. Movement along the edges is proportional to the transported cargo and the chance of a boarded individual to survive the journey. To account for further spreading this work also includes a demographic model so species can spread an establish. With this work one can identify the ports most susceptible to specific invasive species, and will be able to make predictions about how changes in trade routes will impact future invasions.

EDUCATIONAL NEWS UPDATES DATE:-28/09/2020
In the third round, 2797 students were allotted to the college but only 1502 students confirmed their admission. In the Commerce faculty, 2811 seats were filled at the end of 4 rounds but 12 thousand fell vacant. Against which a new round was allotted for 2111 vacant seats and now the fifth round was allotted. Fees have been reluctantly confirmed by the students to be paid to the colleges after the deadline for admission to the college. The current status of whether or not to do so, with only 1,200 students paying fees, is such that approximately admission was confirmed for admission. Thus, as per the four admission rules, when there is a normal situation, the vacancies will be filled. Colleges registered applications in their own way. Out of which 5111 »out of more than 1200, 3111 seats have been filled. Students are admitted if the college allocates to the students on the basis of merit by ordering. Against which 18 seats are vacant. Is. As many as five to six thousand universities have not yet decided on admissions for the current year on the issue of whether to give seats to colleges in the current situation. Members of the admissions committee say students who have completed our process have been denied admission despite having completed four online rounds that have not been confirmed. Has happened. The work that will be done now will be done by the university. If 12 seats are vacant. But Navgujarat time> Ahmedabad Under normal circumstances, if two or three online rounds are to be held, how many seats are vacant? This has to be done only for the students who are currently denied admission. These students are the ones who have vacancies after completing four rounds. The situation that arose in the fourth round is again to offer different colleges in the fifth round with Gujarat University which has to be filled on the basis of merit. In this situation it is now important for the university to decide what to do. Admission has not been confirmed yet. Are offered for courses, including current affiliate commerce. The situation is such that unilateral seats agreed to the fourth but corona epidemic this year in the ongoing proceedings for vacant admission. Despite giving consent they are admitted by paying a fee and on the other hand the double seats are not only confirmed in the process of choice filling after more online rounds due to the students being given in the empty round. Just fell. As per the rules, the college was allotted on the basis of vacant choice. Twenty four students participated in the fourth round. 1600 students have been allotted seats in the fourth round to fill the colleges. Consent to students who want to take in the fourth round The important thing is that 12 students are confirmed to be admitted in the college. But at present the instruction to give consent to 8 students for admission was given by the admission committee to those who have their own choice. Thus, now a decision was made for the total vacancies in Commerce Colleges. Out of which admission was given by the committee in which 8 students and according to merit, allocation of the college, out of 202, 12 seats have not been allotted yet.

Despite repeated representations, more than 1500 students of Std. 1 to 10 of CBSE who had fun in Podar International School are in trouble. The software of a school called Betvinus was discontinued and B.S.E. The board has given online in Std. 1 to 10. Due to which students studying mid term who could not give free exam could not. Parents are full of their mid-term exams to say that the school has stopped taking online. Parents demand that since the school teaches only one and a half hours in online education, it is 50 per cent and if any other expenses or extras are given, then 50 per cent amnesty should be given to the children. If not, why are 1,200 parents studying in the school being charged? In this regard, the principal of most of the students, Mayur Patdiya, had received a reply that Rs. 10,000 was being charged for the first term, i.e. from last March to the first term from Mumbai head branch to decisions. Fr is full while the second term is pending. The future of the students who are mostly Std. 1 to 8 is ruined. Which is what school administrators are responsible for.
Supplementary examination of students who failed in Std. 12 general stream from today. Due to which a large number of students have filled the form.
In the next one week in the morning and afternoon, the examination will be taken in two sessions Gujarat Secondary In the next 7 days, in the next 7 days, a total of Std. 12 general session will be held by the Board of Higher Secondary Education. For those students who have failed in two subjects on the first day, Geography from 10.30 am to 1.45 am and for such students, examination will be held in Gujarati from 3.00 pm to 6.15 pm and in the supplementary English subject from 9 am on Monday. This will come. Students have registered for the examination of 348 buildings in the state in 1,50,8 3052 blocks. Arrangements have been made. 1201 seats have been arranged in 7 zones of 7 states for the supplementary examination of the examination day. So far only one student from the building and 9014 block will be examined by the board. This was the examination after the examination of the subject subject was completed. When the NAPAS result in one subject will be declared this year, more than 30,000 will be declared.

I Won't Let-Off Steam, Says VC
Published by Seyibabs in Uncategorized
You ain't seen anything yet! FUNAAB VC, Prof. Oluwafemi Olaiya Balogun pledging to launch out with terrific speed before his exit next year.
For the Vice-Chancellor, Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Professor Oluwafemi Olaiya Balogun, who is expected to hand-over to a successor, mid-next year after eventful five-year tenure, it will still be all work, work and more work.
Professor Balogun gave the hint, last week that he would not slow down on his hallmark of fast pace, proactive disposition and ingenious leadership style, in the remaining seven months to the completion of his tenure. Rather, the Vice-Chancellor has pledged to work more assiduously and "launch out with a terrific speed before the final exit".
Four and a half years on, the University has witnessed monumental transformation, virtually in all aspects of development under his watch, as articulated in his 9-Point Agenda, which he unfolded in 2007, when he assumed the mantle of leadership.
Professor Balogun disclosed that he would tinker with more innovative ideas, to shore up the University's revenue generation drive and maintain the institution's current, impressive global ranking, academic standard, and the entrenchment of congenial ambiance, institutional governance and infrastructural development, without passing the inherent burden on parents and students.
He made the assertion when he led members of the University Management on an unscheduled tour of Departments and Colleges, to ascertain their readiness for the forthcoming institutional and programmes accreditation by the National Universities Commission (NUC), in December.
Explaining that the visit was to ascertain the level of preparedness of the different segments of the institution, towards contributing their quota to the success of the exercise, he cautioned against 'window-dressing', so as to avoid casting slur on the good image of the University.
The Vice-Chancellor expressed joy over the University's impressive growth, as he stressed the need for the review of the criteria for ranking universities in Nigeria, which he noted should be based on records of current developmental landmarks, rather than "the usual, archaic ranking template, which is merely factored alongside old generation versus new generation institutions".
According to him, "the obvious reality nowadays is that many first and second generation universities are merely living by their names and in a way, retarding the growth of other young, dynamic and growing universities".
He tasked members of FUNAAB community not to rest on their oars, but continue to foster best practices in terms of work ethics, good maintenance culture and evolving of ingenious ways of improving teaching, training and research, while shunning negative tendencies that could disparage the enviable image of the institution.
Professor Balogun said the current administration, in the last four and half years had been unprecedented in injecting the much-needed funds into Colleges and Directorates, based on the independent sharing formula, well implemented by the University's Committee of Deans and Directors (CODAD).

Recently, I told you about Tiësto's weekly radio show, Club Life, on Radio538. I had downed some podcasts and was happy about them, urging you to get them too.
BTW, a podcast is nothing more than an RSS feed with music links in them: mp3, aac, wma or whatever. As long as the application can handle them.
This is very interesting although I have no idea yet why exactly. Y! Pipes seems to be a service that let's you integrate your own (set of) feeds, web pages and more, and create consolidated custom feeds with it.
So you could combine news from BBC, NY Times and Volkskrant into one narrow-casting news feed for you personally. Of course, you can then share everything you make with others, like digg, delicious and bloglines and so on.
WidSets are an evolved next-generation type application of RSS feeds. You create a Widset, install the client on your phone and then you're done. Photos, news, blogs, games, lots fo stuff to choose from. Or create your own.
They have Basecamp, a web-based project management tool focusing onh communication between project members to ensure to get work done, instead of Gantt charts and deadlines and meetings.
There is Backpack, a collecting tool to gather ideas, lists, notes, images and more. Kinda like a plastic folder to hold all the snippets of some idea you have together and organized.
More and more applications can be installed on USB drives and the software will know to store it's files not on the PC's harddisk (in your profile) but on the USB drive itself. That way, you can have your own settings available no matter where you sit down to work.
For instance, install Firefox on a U3 USB drive (U3 is a technology add-on for USB drives) and you'll have your RSS feeds, bookmarks and favorite interface always with you, whether you are at work, at home or at a friend. Same thing with Thunderbird. Install it on a 2-4 GB U3 USB drive and you can have all your Email always with you. All your accounts, signatures, attachments and so on. Now OpenOffice has also been made compatible, and Winamp, Skype, Maxthon (IE-based browser) and the ThinkFree Office productivity suite... cool!
Do you regularly work together with people from different places? People keep coming to and dropping out from your project? Want to globally manage tasks, to-dos, milestones nd deadlines? Need to post messages to project members, schedule chat sessions or teleconferences and maybe share files among project members? Checkout Basecamp.
Basecamp is free, web-based project scheduler. Nothing fancy, you won't get Pert charts or resource-based scheduling and so on. It's not online MS Project. But it will let you organize your projects and logically group all its members in a meaningfull way, very easily and over the web. Update it anywhere you are. Communicate with team members and assign who does what and by when. The RSS feed (so cool!) let's easily track if there are any changes, so you know when to check the website nd when not, saving countless hours!
You constantly forget things, like I do? Some of them actually even important? Change from one high-priority item to the next, like I do? Keep forgetting what the next thing was on your list? Keep loosing the to-do lists you make?
Enter Ta-da! Online, free, hosted to-do lists that you track whereever you are on this globe. Even has RSS feed to easily check the status of one or more lists you keep. Ta-da even lets you assign tasks to others. Handy for the office or small(er) workgroups...!
Google has released their next version of the desktop search tool GDS. The new version includes improved Outlook filtering, Gmail indexing, and... a new Sidebar which displays RSS feeds, a Gmail inbox, news, scratch pad and more. There is also a method for adding plugins. Where will this stop?
Finally, all the tricks, hacks and add-ons such as gnews2rss are no longer necessary: Google News Adds RSS Feeds.
Are still not using RSS? Why not?
Read The Importance of RSS and think again.
PHP iCal file parser for displaying iCal on a web server.
PHP iCalendar is a php-based iCal file parser. Its based on v2.0 of the IETF spec. It displays iCal files in a nice logical, clean manner with day, week, month, and year navigation, printer view, RSS-enabled, and searchable. It supports 14 languages, is fully theme-able, and has complete timezone support.
Looking for a simple, stand-alone feed reader? Don't care about Outlook integration or don't want to pay for it? Fed up with web-based feed readers? Try RSSOwl, which is Java-based and therefore runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris. Now there's no reason to stay uninformed from anything!
Looking for a way to integrate RSS and Atom feeds into IE? Of course you can use Outlook integration instead, but IE might just be better, depending on how you look at it. BlogBot may just be enough for you, if you're still unwilling to switch to FireFox or Mozilla (where extensions have been doing this for ages... hint).

Former Alabama prison guard gets 6 years for drug smuggling
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A former Alabama prison guard has been sentenced to six years in federal custody for intending to smuggle drugs into the facility where he worked.
U.S. Attorney Louis V. Franklin Sr. says 29-year-old Antwan Giles was sentenced Thursday for possession with intent to distribute controlled substances.
Al.com reports Giles worked as a guard at Kilby Correctional Facility in Montgomery County for three years at the time of his arrest.
In January 2017, authorities say Giles brought food into the jail he intended to give to an inmate, a violation of department policy. Agents with the Alabama Department of Corrections then searched his vehicle after suspecting he was conspiring with an inmate to smuggle contraband into the prison. They found several packages of various drugs.

Velvet has been revived this season. Gucci, Max Mara and Prada celebrated the lush fabric in their AW 2017 collections, cementing it as the trend to back this winter. If you still have a Christmas work do coming up, team a velvet jumpsuit with a charcoal beret for effortlessly cool party-wear.

Q: Drawing a transformer with multiple windings with circuitikz I'm trying to draw a transformer with multiple windings with circuitikz similar to the figure shown here (except I'd like to have multiple primary windings and a single secondary winding):

(Source: https://sub.allaboutcircuits.com/images/02141.png)
I have code for a single winding transformer here:
\begin{circuitikz}[american]
\draw (0,0) node [transformer core](T){}
      (T.A1) node[above] {A1}
      (T.A2) node[below] {A2}
      (T.B1) node[above] {B1}
      (T.B2) node[below] {B2}
      (T.base) node{K};
\draw (T.A1) --++(-2,0);
\draw (T.A2) --++(-2,0);
\draw (T.B1) --++(2,0);
\draw (T.B2) --++(2,0);
\end{circuitikz}

The output is shown here:

Is there a way to adapt this to have three windings on the primary side and one winding on the secondary side?

A: Here is one way to achieve this diagram

\documentclass[margin=0.5cm]{standalone}
\usepackage{circuitikz}

Create breadcrumbs to show users their location within a website.

## 用法

The Breadcrumb component consists of links, which are aligned side by side and separated by a divider. Add the `.uk-breadcrumb` class to a `<ul>` element to define the component. Use `<a>` elements as breadcrumb items within the list. An active state is automatically applied to the last `<li>` element.

To add list items without a link, use a `<span>` element instead of an `<a>`. Alternatively, disable an `<a>` element by adding the `.uk-disabled` class to the `<li>` element and remove the `href` attribute from the anchor to make it inaccessible through keyboard navigation.

```html
<ul class="uk-breadcrumb">
    <li><a href=""></a></li>
    <li><a href=""></a></li>
    <li><span></span></li>
</ul>
```

```example
<ul class="uk-breadcrumb">
    <li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Item</a></li>
    <li class="uk-disabled"><a>Disabled</a></li>
    <li><span>Active</span></li>
</ul>
```

Get started with these top tips, and you'll be well on your way!
There's no perfect science to finding the right college. You don't need to think of the college search as a quiz you need to ace; instead, think of it as an exploration and discovery process. Keep an open mind and take your time.
Start with a little soul-searching.
To choose a college, you don't have to have a career plan mapped out or know what your major is going to be. You do not have to have it all figured out! But it does help to do a little soul-searching before you do your college searching. Take some time to contemplate your values, priorities, and expectations when it comes to deciding on a college.
One thing you can do is reflect on what your most valuable experiences were in high school and consider how you expect them to extend to college. For example, maybe your relationships with your teachers made a big difference in how you felt about high school, and you enjoy being able to have conversations, support, and guidance from your teachers. If that's the case, as you consider colleges, you can pay particular attention to class sizes, student-to-teacher ratios, and how professors typically spend their time outside of class. Since you already know it's important to you, you can better evaluate the information you gather.
When you evaluate schools, there are a lot of factors you can consider, like size, location, extracurricular activities, popular majors and clubs, financial aid, course offerings, and more. It will be easier to think about all these components if you've first spent some time understanding what's most important to you. So before you dive into your research, take some time to reflect and brainstorm on your own personal values and priorities.
Here are some additional tips to starting your college search.
Talk to your high school guidance counselor and teachers.
Think about who best knows you and your skills, strengths, and hopes. Teachers and guidance counselors can help point out schools that may be a good fit. Your guidance counselor should have plenty of resources, tools, and ideas for you to get started in your search. You might also consider consulting family friends, librarians, and college admissions officers. Because there are so many choices out there, the process of researching colleges can feel overwhelming at first. That's why it can be really helpful to talk it through with people you trust, as well as hear about the tools available from people who know what to look for.
News headlines about the student debt crisis can make thinking about financing college feel scary and overwhelming. On top of that, it can be tough to envision, four or five years in advance, what kind of student debt you might be able to manage when you graduate college and what it will be like to pay it off. Talk candidly about this with your parents or with the parental figures in your life. One of the best things you can do is to have open and honest conversations about college and money with your family.
You should also be proactive in planning how to finance college. It's never too early to start! Most colleges offer financial aid and scholarships, and you might also qualify for grants, other scholarships, and work-study opportunities. Use ScholarshipAdvisor.com to research your options, and be sure to complete the FAFSA. Find more information about financial aid here.
Start making a list of colleges that are most appealing. Are any of them nearby? If so, schedule a visit earlier rather than later. Putting yourself on a college campus can help you get a clearer picture of what's important to you and where you can envision yourself attending.
If you can't make any visits yet, another option is to go to a college fair. There, you'll be able to speak directly with a representative and/or students from the college who can answer your questions and provide you with more information. Fairs are also a useful way to get in-person information about more than one college at once.
Visit—and make the most of those visits.
The best way to get a feel for schools is by going on college visits. Being at a college in person will enable you to learn much more than what you can get from a website, like the campus vibe, student body energy, and general ambiance.
Plan your visit in advance so that you can make the most of it. Decide if you'd like to schedule a tour, attend a class, talk to a particular professor or advisor, meet with students, visit the student union, eat a meal, or check out the dorms. Ask a lot of questions. Pick up a copy of the student newspaper. Explore. You don't need to cover everything because you can always revisit the school once you're accepted, but you want to get the most out of your time on campus. If you have an interview with an admissions officer, know that you should interview them at the same time. It's your opportunity to get your questions answered and determine if this is the place you want to be for the next four years.
The number of articles, lists, books, websites, and advice available when it comes to selecting the right college is limitless. It's important to do your research and make an informed decision, but it's also valuable to trust your instincts. Once you've visited college campuses, you might find you have a strong sense of one place that feels more like home than the others. Trust how you feel. Whichever college you decide to attend, it's important to remember that no school is 100% perfect. Your college experience is largely what you make it, and you can have a great experience at more than one school. It's also a time in your life when you're more empowered than ever to use your independence, skills, and passions to achieve what you want. So trust your instincts, and go from there.

FCA, Google Begin Offering Rides In Self-Driving Cars
For the first time, both companies will offer rides to the public in the self-driving vehicles they are building under an expanding partnership.
Dee-Ann Durbin, AP Auto Writer
(Image credit: Google)
Fiat Chrysler and Google for the first time will offer rides to the public in the self-driving vehicles they are building under an expanding partnership.
The companies announced in the spring of last year that they would build 100 self-driving Chrysler Pacifica hybrids minivans. Those vehicles have been tested in Arizona, California and Michigan.
Waymo, Google's self-driving car project, said Tuesday that it will allow hundreds of people in Phoenix to take rides in the vehicles so that it can get feedback on the experience. Phoenix-area residents can apply on Waymo's website.
The company also said that it's expanding its fleet to 500 Pacifica hybrids.
Waymo — created by Google in 2009 — has given rides to the public before in its hometown of Mountain View, California. In 2015, it let a blind man ride around Austin, Texas, in one of its completely self-driving pods. The Phoenix program will be much larger in scale, and it will be the first to use the Pacifica minivans.
Waymo isn't the first to put regular passengers in self-driving cars in the race to develop the technology. Ride-hailing company Uber has had self-driving Volvos on the road in Pittsburgh since last fall. Boston startup nuTonomy is giving taxi rides to passengers in Singapore and Boston. In all cases, there is a backup driver behind the wheel.
Waymo said it wants to learn where people want to go in a self-driving vehicle, how they communicate with it and what kinds of information and controls they want.
Fiat Chrysler builds the Pacifica minivan in Windsor, Canada, just across the border from Detroit. It adds Waymo's self-driving software and hardware, including sensors and cameras, at a facility in Michigan. Fiat Chrysler's U.S. headquarters is in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
"This collaboration is helping both companies learn how to bring self-driving cars to market, and realize the safety and mobility benefits of this technology," said Waymo chief John Krafcik in a company release.
Michelle Krebs, an executive analyst for the car shopping site Autotrader, says studies have shown that a majority of Americans are still reluctant to ride in a fully self-driving car. Opening Waymo's vehicles to the public will help build riders' confidence, she said.
"The key to acceptance is exposure and education," she said.
Ultimately, Waymo says, self-driving cars could prevent many of the 1.2 million deaths that occur on worldwide roads each year.
Waymo has made clear that it intends to form partnerships with automakers and not build its own self-driving cars. It's also in talks with Honda Motor Co. about a potential collaboration.

Q: How to Add Array ListSequential form using Java I have input web cam video processing each frame 1-by-8 co-ordinates values in list.
Values are like the following:
points=[33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54]
points=[54,32,1,1,33,44,54,21]
points=[64,443,2,2,2,44,3,5]

This is my code:
public class Sample {
    private List<List<Integer>> matrix; //Getter and Setter Method

    public List<List<Integer>> getMatrix() {
        return matrix;
    }

    public Sample setMatrix(List<<Integer>> matrix) {
        this.matrix = matrix;
        return this;
    }

    public void list_method(List<Integer> points) {

        Sample sample = new Sample(); //Class object

        sample.getMatrix().add();

        System.out.println(sample);
    }
}

I got result like
matrix = [33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54]
matrix = [33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54 ,54,32,1,1,33,44,54,21]
matrix =[33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54 ,54,32,1,1,33,44,54,21,64,443,2,2,2,44,3,5  ]

But I would like it to be in a form like :
matrix = [33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54]
matrix = [33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54], [54,32,1,1,33,44,54,21]
matrix = [33,12,3,2,54,222,44,54], [54,32,1,1,33,44,54,21], [64,443,2,2,2,44,3,5]

A: In your list_method, you only need to write matrix.add(points);
And I don't know whether this is a typo, but public Sample setMatrix(List<<Integer>> matrix) { should be public Sample setMatrix(List<List<Integer>> matrix) {

'The Descendants': In Paradise, A Stranger To Himself
Fresh Air | By David Edelstein
Island Son: George Clooney (left, with Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller) navigates tricky territory as a Hawaii man whose wife is on life support.
Writer-director Alexander Payne is either the American cinema's most acerbic humanist or its most empathetic jerk. Whichever it is, the protagonists of the novels he adapts are outsiders who pay an emotional price for their sense of superiority.
Payne's The Descendants is his first film to be told from the perspective of a person of privilege, but real-estate lawyer Matt King (George Clooney) is the ultimate outsider: a stranger to his family and his lifelong home, Hawaii.
Matt grew up wealthy in paradise, but in voice-over he says paradise can go bleep itself. He's actually the great-grandson of a native princess, a woman who was the last direct descendant of King Kamehameha, but she married a non-native (or haole) businessman and died relatively young, after which Matt and his many cousins were raised on the haole end of the spectrum.
Now, these descendants are scheduled to meet to decide the fate of their principal inheritance — 25,000 acres of untouched coastal land, which a developer would like to buy and cover with hotels and golf courses. Matt, as trustee, will make the final decision — a lot of power for anyone, let alone someone whose life is falling apart.
When we meet him, his wife has been in a coma for 23 days, and her prognosis is iffy. Matt refers to himself as the "back-up parent" to their two daughters. He barely knows how to talk to his 10-year-old, Scottie, who's often in a world of her own; 17-year-old Alexandra has had drug problems, and now goes to boarding school on another island. When Matt brings her home to see her mom, she insists on inviting an old friend, a stoner named Sid (Nick Krause) who's a little too forward.
In fact, everything Sid says is a reflexive taunt, a provocation that raises hackles. But he's emblematic. The Descendants gets to you by mixing devastating sadness with sick humor — and showing how they're karmically connected. It turns out Sid has had a sad life, and that his point of view has weight. In Payne's dramatic universe, there's no such thing as inappropriate.
The Descendants is closely based on a novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, but the casting of Clooney as a self-absorbed workaholic can't help but throw it slightly out of whack: It's hard to accept he could be that much of a non-presence in peoples' lives.
/ Fox Searchlight Pictures
Director Alexander Payne draws a bittersweet comic performance from Judy Greer, whose husband (Matthew Lillard) was Clooney's wife's lover before fate intervened.
And yet much of Clooney's recent career has been an attempt to fight his own glibness, even his own ridiculous handsomeness, and he does so triumphantly here. It's a wonderful performance — morose, then manic, then somehow morosely manic. Early on, Matt discovers that his wife, Elizabeth, had been seeing another man before her daredevil water-skiing accident, and his sweaty desperation to find out who and why is both hilarious and emotionally right.
Just when you think a character is too much of a cartoon, there'll be a moment of revelation, a window through the facade. A too-tanned Beau Bridges plays the most prominent of Matt's cousins; he's all rummy Hawaiian bonhomie until you glimpse the core of deviousness.
Judy Greer is the wife of Elizabeth's lover, and her final scene is a triumph of Payne's vision — deeply poignant until she starts to rant, and then all of a sudden she's a comic banshee. Best of all are the kids: Amara Miller as 10-year-old Scottie, still a child withdrawing into fantasy; and Shailene Woodley as the willowy beauty Alexandra, who's had to grow up too fast.
Elizabeth King is played by Patricia Hastie, seen only in her hospital bed but for the film's first shot — a close-up of her face, elated, as she water-skis.
Why does Payne open with that image, so remote from the narrator's point of view? I think he wants it to come back to us later, when we know how she got to that moment.
It's at that point that we see her husband — and the other characters, with their clownish jealousies and pettiness and greed — differently. It gives this broad comedy the sting of tragedy. The Descendants is a great movie. (Recommended)

Ben Carson Said Trans People In Homeless Shelters Make Others 'Not Comfortable'
It was the latest in a long history of anti-LGBTQ remarks by the HUD secretary.
By Sarah Ruiz-Grossman
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson spoke Tuesday about transgender individuals' access to homeless shelters, saying women "were not comfortable" being in a shelter with "somebody who had a very different anatomy."
Testifying before a House subcommittee, Carson was reportedly asked by Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) about the removal of HUD training materials that help protect LGBTQ people from discrimination, by guiding homeless shelters on how to ensure access to shelters for transgender people.
"[We] obviously believe in equal rights for everybody, including the LGBT community. But we also believe in equal rights for the women in the shelters, and shelters where there are men and their equal rights," Carson responded. "So we want to look at things that really provide for everybody and doesn't impede the rights of one for the sake of the other. So it's a complex issue."
When Quigley then asked how protecting the rights of transgender homeless individuals would infringe on the rights of others, Carson replied, "I'll give you an example. There were some women who said they were not comfortable with the idea of being in a shelter, being in a shower, and somebody who had a very different anatomy," Carson said.
On Tuesday, LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD denounced Carson's statements in a release, saying it perpetuated a "derogatory myth" about the presence of transgender people threatening others' safety.
"It is because of derogatory myths like this, which have been debunked time and time again, that the transgender community faces disproportionate levels of discrimination and homelessness," GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis said. "Today's blatant and factually inaccurate anti-transgender rhetoric is the latest in a long line of uninformed and biased statements about LGBTQ people that make Dr. Carson unfit to be the head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development."
Last year, HUD removed guidelines from its website meant to provide training to homeless shelters on how to ensure equal access to transgender people, Newsweek reported earlier this year. In March, activists filed a lawsuit against HUD seeking documents to determine whether the Trump administration was directing federal agencies to undermine efforts to protect LGBTQ Americans.
In July 2017, a group of Democratic senators wrote in a letter to Carson that the removal of the HUD resources around LGBTQ rights was "concerning," and asked that the agency restore them to its website.
Nearly one-third of transgender Americans have experienced homelessness at one point in their lifetime, according to a 2015 survey of transgender people in the U.S. What's more, 70 percent of transgender respondents who had stayed in homeless shelters reported being mistreated, including being harassed, sexually or physically assaulted, or kicked out because of being transgender.
Carson's remarks at the House subcommittee hearing were the latest in a series of anti-LGBTQ statements from the Housing secretary. In November 2015, then-presidential candidate Carson said that transgender people should have separate bathrooms because they "make everybody else uncomfortable." Earlier that same year, Carson said in a CNN interview that being gay was "absolutely" a choice, "because a lot of people ... go into prison straight ― and when they come out, they're gay."

“All students deserve the dignity of being free from harassment and discrimination, including use of the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identities. Refusing to protect our most vulnerable youth is deplorable and dangerous.

Gael García Bernal Reportedly Starring In Marvel's Werewolf By Night
Scott Campbell Nov 4, 2021 11:20 am Nov 4, 2021 11:20 am
At the end of August, we heard that Marvel Studios was developing a mysterious Halloween special set in the cinematic universe that would stream exclusively on Disney Plus, but that's about as far as the initial story went.
However, it was claimed shortly afterward that it would be an adaptation of Werewolf by Night, a mantle that several characters have taken up over the years. The most famous is the conveniently-named Jack Russell, a famed adversary of Moon Knight, although Jake Gomez was introduced into comic book continuity last year.
The last semi-solid update we got came from another speculative source, touting that a Latino actor in their 30s was being sought to lead the project. However, The Wrap is now offering that 42-year-old Gael García Bernal is set to play the lead role, with production scheduled to begin early next year, presumably to have Werewolf by Night hit Disney Plus in time for spooky season.
We should stress that this hasn't been confirmed by anyone from Disney or Marvel as of yet, but Bernal would be a solid addition to the vast MCU empire, and the prospect of seeing him turn into a werewolf is enough to get fans excited over a character that may not be too well-known among casual audiences.

Reliability was excellent throughout with multiple brands of .38 Special and .357 Magnum. Spent casings never stuck in the chambers per se, but using just the thumb in the old fashioned FBI reload technique, the short rod sometimes left long Magnum cases still hanging from the cylinder. A sharp smack with the palm on the ejector rod cleared the brass much better. Feedback from the field on the Kimber K6S series has been generally excellent.
Spent shells ejected easily from K6S—never once sticking—but a firm hit on the rod was needed to clear longer Magnum casings.
Bottom line? Yes, the Kimber K6S CDP costs a lot of money. In my youth, Colt advertised that their small frame snubs were preferable to S&W's because the latter held only five rounds and the Colt had an "all-important sixth shot." Silly me, I always figured that if there was an "all-important" shot it would be the first, not the sixth. That said, while one more round of capacity isn't a big deal in the currently pre-eminent polymer pistols, it's a 20% increase in a pocket revolver. I wouldn't be inclined to turn down a 20% increase in life expectancy, income, or firepower.
The K6S series offers a potentially life-saving advantage that Kimber, strangely, does not advertise, and which I've not seen mentioned elsewhere. In very cold weather with big gloves, one problem with revolvers in general, and small frame ones in particular, is that thick glove material creates enough bulk between trigger face and inside front of trigger guard to block trigger return, turning the revolver into a single shot. The elongated trigger guard of the Kimber K6S allowed full trigger-return every time when I tried it with winter gloves. The newest iteration of Colt's Cobra is the only other small revolver I've seen that shares this feature.

Thomas Cahill's classic How the Irish Saved Civilization, normally $11.99, is on sale today for $4.99. A best seller when it was originally released, it is a fascinating look at the important role the Irish played in maintaining Western culture during the dark ages.
The perfect St. Patrick's Day gift, and a book in the best tradition of popular history — the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe.
Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" — and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians.
In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization — copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost — they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task.
As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated.
In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization.
BONUS MATERIAL: This ebook edition includes an excerpt from Thomas Cahill's Heretics and Heroes.
This is the first volume in what later became the Hinges of History series which you can find here on Amazon.
