Versatile and adventure-ready, these socks are ready to run. The company's Indestructawool merino blend is super comfy, expels moisture, and will last for years, making these a great companion for any- and everything — roads and trails, summer and fall.
Sure, a cotton sock may not be as moisture-wicking as others — but it's affordable. And it has other attributes that runners love, such as a breathable top, cushy bottom, and no-show cut, which make it the perfect budget buy for less serious (or affluent) runners.
Ideal for long-distance runners, this sock is incredibly lightweight and breathable, has a next-to-skin feel, boasts seamless toes, and has added arch support, keeping your feet comfortable, dry, and irritation-free for higher mileage.
Amply cushioned in all the right places, this quarter-height sock is one of the most comfortable pairs we've ever worn. The thicker cushioning protects your joints when fatigue takes over toward the end of a long trail run.
Crew socks are the jam if you want more coverage for cold-weather runs, like to spoof up your running outfit, or both. Stance's higher cut, thicker fibers, and catchy designs can even be worn under work slacks or with boots for a cold night out on the town.
If your sock drawer is like most people's, it's a mess of singles without partners, and those that actually have a match are, more often than not, sporting a pesky little hole in the big toe. Runners place so much emphasis on finding the perfect pair of shoes, but often don't understand how much difference socks make.
With today's advances in materials and technologies, running socks are no longer an afterthought. New styles are often a moisture-wicking blend (commonly merino wool or synthetic), have seamless construction to prevent chaffing, come in varying weights and levels of cushioning based on preference, and range from no-show to crew-height. No matter the details, these new running socks are all high-performance — built to keep you comfortable when the miles add up. Check out our picks for the top five running socks for men and women, because it's about time you ditch the rags and upgrade with a pair (or three).
Bottom Line: High-performance socks that will accompany everywhere for years to come.
Adventure-ready is the best way to describe these socks, which won our choice for the best overall running sock due to their versatile mass appeal. Part of Smartwool's top-performing PhD lineup, these socks are made with Indestructawool — a patent-pending merino wool blend that is uber-comfy and can survive some serious abuse. They're a bit pricey, but that investment means you'll never be underprepared for a good time, whether that's interval training at the track or cruising the towpath down by the river.
Cushioning is strategically-placed for more impact protection, ventilation zones are gender-specific, and the low-cut height prevents rubbing on your achilles while keeping debris from invading your sock. This women's "mountain purple" color caught our eye most, and with six additional styles for both men and women, we're willing to bet there's one you'll dig, too.
Bottom Line: A snug-fitting, comfortable and breathable sock for casual runners.
You may not have expected to see cotton in our top five, but don't let the material fool you — this sock has the same design as more expensive options, perfect for more casual runners in the 5K range. By creating this sock with cotton, Softbreath is able to equip you with a running sock without flipping your wallet upside-down.
Features we love include a secure fit that won't shift midrun, a cushy bottom, a super breathable top, and a no-show cut with a rear tab that prevents achilles blisters. The fit is unisex, and it's available in black and pink, with a price that everyone can appreciate.
Bottom Line: This minimalist pair is super breathable and moisture-wicking for long distances.
The thinnest sock that Feetures! makes is our favorite ultralight pair because it feels like a second skin! It's super lightweight sock, has an anatomic fit, and is made from a synthetic iWick material. Translation: It fits like a glove while it breathes and sheds moisture with the best, making it the perfect minimalist pair for long-distance runners whose sweat pours out over time.
The no-show cut with a rear tab and a seamless construction virtually eliminates irritation, while Lycra bands add much-needed arch support for tired feet. Pick up this loud color, or choose from eight additional unisex options, including black, blue, and orange.
Bottom Line: Ample cushioning creates incredible comfort for tired joints on hard surfaces.
We've tried a lot of socks, so it's bold to say that these might just be the most comfortable running socks we've ever worn. They have more cushioning than any pair in this roundup, and have a quarter height that your feet will appreciate for trail-running.
Darn Tough's Vertex Quarter is made of Coolmax polyester, nylon, and Lycra (for stretch), so they are pretty breathable and retain their shape really well, but they won't wick moisture as well as a merino pair would. If breathability isn't your top consideration, then these are the pair to get. The fit is so snug and secure that you'll seriously never want to take them off. For icing on the cake, all of Darn Wool's socks are made entirely in Vermont, and come with an unconditional lifetime guarantee, so you know they are made to last!
Bottom Line: A higher cut, thicker build, and kicky designs add flair and warmth to your runs.
If you want a higher cut, whether that's for jazzing up your running garb or to prevent cold ankles, Stance's socks are an easy front-runner. In addition to these performance running crews, they also make tons of fun, casual designs, with a print for literally everyone.
With a higher cut, thicker construction, and blend of fibers that is mostly synthetic, this is a great cold-weather option. The arches have extra support, while the toe and heel are reinforced for added durability. Breathability isn't top-notch, but style and warmth are, which makes these versatile enough to be your new everyday, work-to-gym pair.

Article Rich General Electric Car Owners In California Are Switching Back To Gas
November 27, 2021November 27, 2021 Lance HendricksonLance Hendrickson 0 Comments
Electric cars might be the wave of the future, but at present, there's a growing movement of Californians switching back from their electric vehicles to gas-powered ones.
It's not an overwhelming majority, mind you, and it's not as if they're all abandoning electric cars because they broke down and had to call a lemon law attorney in San Francisco to get their money back, but their reasoning is interesting and something to be aware of.
This article from Business Insider actually sums up the situation quite succinctly: a minority (roughly 20%) of electric vehicle owners in California have reverted to gas-powered vehicles, and their main reasoning is that it's too inconvenient to keep their electric vehicle charged:
"In roughly three minutes, you can fill the gas tank of a Ford Mustang and have enough range to go about 300 miles with its V8 engine. But on a recent 200-mile trip from Boston to New York in the Mustang's electric Mach-E variant, Axios' Dan Primack said he felt "panic" as his battery level dipped below 23% while searching for a compatible charger to complete his trip."
This quote sums up the unease that some EV owners must feel, especially if they are located in areas where adoption of electric car technology has been slow. This comes on the heels of news that EV growth is slow in the United States compared to China and Europe:
"Outside of a few major metropolitan areas, electric vehicles (EVs) aren't all that common in the U.S. While their numbers have grown rapidly in absolute terms in recent years, that's from a relatively small base."
Even though there are three times as many EVs on US roads now than there were in 2016, that still only accounts for less than 2 million vehicles in total, and the US represents "only about 17% of the world's total stock of 10.2 million EVs."
Compare that to Europe, with it's more substantial number of 3.2 million EVs (31% of the global total) and China, with its 4.5 million (a staggering 44% of the world total). These regions are also adopting EVs at a higher rate, which begs the question: why is electric car technology having trouble making inroads in the United States?
That Pew Research report reveals at least part of the answer—a part that's further highlighted by the California news—the infrastructure to support a large number of electric vehicles simply doesn't exist yet in the United States. Without reliable spots to charge their EVs, many consumers forego them as an option. Thankfully, though, that might be changing.
According to IEA data, the number of public charging stations has tripled since 2015 (a time when there were fewer than 32,000 throughout the whole country), and the growth rate is increasing. Some projections put the number of charging stations at up to 1.7 million by the end of this decade, and that sort of distribution could inspire major EV uptake. Time, however, will tell if electric cars continue their upward swing in popularity.

A Schaumburg company is afraid of risking all its dough on the village`s water.
Gonnella Baking Co., which produces frozen bakery products at a plant at 1117 E. Wiley Road, has been using water from a private well in its products. Under an agreement with the village, Gonnella was to begin using Schaumburg municipal water in its products by Dec. 1. But Gonnella officials this week told a committee they have not completed their research into how water from the village system might affect or alter their recipes.
Members of the Engineering & Public Works Committee agreed Wednesday to recommend that Gonnella be allowed to use well water for six more months. The recommendation will be considered Dec. 10 by the Village Board.
Ronald Luchessi, general manager for Gonnella, said the well water now being used during production is significantly different in its hardness and chemical composition than the water supplied by the village.
The Schaumburg plant produces frozen dough products that are shipped nationwide. The company wants to test those products with village water before making the switch to the municipal system.
Committee members said they understood Gonnella`s reasons for proceeding carefully.
''That`s like going to the Perrier people and telling them they can`t use their spring water anymore,'' an official said.
Although the well water now used by Gonnella is from a private well, the well is metered and the company is paying the village a usage fee based on regular municipal water rates.

Moses' Intercession
Issue 17: 6/1/1941 , Vol 17/1941 By: Ophoff George M, in Article
"And the Lord said unto Moses, "How long will the people provoke me? And how long will it be ere they believe me for all the signs which I have shewed among them? I will smite them with pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they." Numbers 14:11
So the Lord spake. It shows that a great sin had again been committed by the people of Israel. The Lord had shewed signs among them. In the words of the psalmist, Moses and Aaron had "shewed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness and made it dark. . . . He turned their waters into blood and slay their fish. Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. He spake and their locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number. And did eat up all the herbs in their land, end devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river."
These had been the Lord's signs. Their total signified that He remembered His holy promise, and Abraham His servant and that, as so remembering, he would give them the lands of the heathen and cause them to inherit the labor of the people of these lands. But, having finally arrived at the borders of these lands—the promised lands of their abode—they refused to believe the Lord's signs. It was a hard speech that they uttered against Him at their hearing the report of the ten spies. They wanted to know why He had brought them to the border of Canaan that they, their wives and their children should be a prey. Through His continuing to drop His goodnesses before their feet on the way, He had lured them on and on until He finally had them on the edge of Canaan where the slaughter was to take place. The Lord had said to them by the mouth of Moses, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt. . . . and I am come down to deliver them. . . . and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land. . . ." So the Lord had spoken. But according to those wailing Israelites, God had not meant a word of it. He had delivered them by His outstretched arm and had taken them to His bosom at Mount Sinai. All along He had provided in all their necessities. But they now saw the real motive behind His doing.
Verily, the people were committing a great sin. The sense and meaning of the Hebrew word translated by provoke is: to deride, despise, contemn, reject. The people were despising the Lord, faithful and true, long- suffering and of great mercy, the righteous and the holy God. They did so not in their ignorance but deliberately, knowingly. For these virtues of God were manifest in them and were clearly seen by them, being understood by His signs. But though they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, because they were wicked. In their spite they insisted that He was an evil deity, unfaithful, untrue, deceitful and thus worthy to be despised and rejected. And despise Him they did.
It was as if their perversity astonished even the Lord Himself. "How long will they despise me?" "How long will it be ere they believe me. . . ." The Lord answered His own questions, when He said, "I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them. . . ." The implication of these utterances is that they will not cease despising and disbelieving Him. There is indeed every indication that the vast majority of them were persons thoroughly profligate, men corrupt in the very heart of their disposition. Consider the following. Hearing their speech, Moses and Aaron, in their great amazement and consternation, fell on their faces before all the assembly. Joshua and Caleb rent their clothes. And they spake to all the company saying, "The land which we passed through to search is an exceeding good land. If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey. Only rebel ye not against the Lord, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us; their defense is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not."
"Their defense is departed from them." So spake the believing Joshua. What he meant is that the terror of God was fallen upon the inhabitants of Canaan and that their hearts were melted, so that there remained no more courage in them. How is it to be explained that Joshua was so confident of this? To Pharaoh the Lord had said, "And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth." This prediction of God went into immediate fulfillment. The report of His doings in Egypt was carried far and wide. "We have heard", said Rahab the harlot, to the spies whom she was concealing in her house, "We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what he did unto the kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed." "And as soon as we heard," Rahab went on to say, "our hearts did melt. . . . because of you: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above and in earth beneath." This had by implication also been the testimony of Pharaoh. But there was a difference. In bringing this confession over his lips, Pharaoh was moved by carnal fear; Rahab by a true faith. But the point is that what Rahab's testimony shows is that the Lord had laid His plagues the wonders He had wrought, not only on the heart of Pharaoh but on the hearts of the inhabitants of all the neighboring lands as well, so that already then His name was being declared throughout the earth. And as to the Canaanites, having heard, their hearts did melt. This, that their hearts did melt, Joshua and all the other spies in all likelihood had also perceived from what they had heard the Canaanites say, while exploring their land. They had thus made the discovery that the morale of the Canaanites had been broken down. The despair of these people was to believing Joshua the sign that the Lord was with Israel and that Israel therefore should not fear the adversary. And he also tells the rebels this sign, "Neither fear ye the people of the land for they are bread for us. . . . their defense is departed from them. . . ." Hearing themselves thus admonished, they became furious and in their fury "bade stone them with stones". They could not endure being told that the Lord would bring them into the promised land, if He delight in them and that, if He would not bring them up, it would be solely on account of their rebellion.
The Lord's saying to Moses that He would smite them with pestilence and disinherit them and would make of Moses a greater nation and mightier than they, cannot be taken as expressive of the Lord's intention. For what the Lord said is that He would destroy not the nation in so far as it was reprobated but the entire people with the exception of one man—the man Moses—that thus he would make a sudden end of reprobate and elect alike. So Moses understood this language. For he said to the Lord, "Now if thou shaft kill this people as one man. . . ." This is equivalent to saying, "If thou shalt kill them all indiscriminately." It is plain that the Lord spake as He did with a view to arousing Moses to pray for the nation, to plead with God in behalf of His people. And so he does. If the Lord smite them—smite them all—then the Egyptians shall hear it, and, such is the implication, shall be glad; for the Lord brought up this people (of Israel) in His might from among the Egyptians. In their great glee, the Egyptians will tell it to the inhabitants of the land of Canaan. For the latter have heard that the Lord is among the people of Israel, that He is seen by them face to face, and that His cloud standeth over them, and that He goes before them, by day time in a pillar of cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night, that thus (such is here the implication) this people was the object of the Lord's endearment and that He originally meant to do them well by bringing them unto a good land. It follows therefore that if the Lord will now kill this people as one man, the nations that have heard the fame of the Lord will conclude in their malice that He was not able to bring them into the land which He sware to them and that therefore all there remained for Him to do is to slay them in the wilderness. Let the power of the Lord therefore be great, according as He has spoken, saying, The Lord is longsuffering and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. So Moses beseeches the Lord to pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of His mercy, and as He has forgiven this people; from Egypt even until now.
And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word."
This is truly a remarkable prayer. It tells us that what prompted Moses to intercede for the people was his concern not first of all about the well-being of the people but about the reputation of God among the nations. The Lord's destroying His people will surely result in the nations slandering Him. They will say without fail that the Lord was not able. The thought is too painful for him; for he loves God. He therefore pleads with God to pardon the iniquity of this people. And he pleads on the grounds of the Lord's glories, of His power, longsuffering and great mercy. Such a prayer the Lord must hear. The nation is thus spared and enters Canaan.

Convenience stores in DeKalb County will be required to have surveillance cameras by June 30, 2023
Crime and public safety Metro ATL Trending
Dan Whisenhunt Dec 14, 2022
File photo of a surveillance camera used for illustration purposes.
DeKalb County, GA — Starting June 30, all DeKalb County convenience stores will be required to have working surveillance cameras.
The DeKalb County Commission approved the video surveillance ordinance at its Dec. 13 meeting.
"With the ongoing violence and crime DeKalb County is experiencing, particularly at gas and service stations, the approval of this ordinance couldn't be more dire," DeKalb County Commissioner Lorraine Cochran-Johnson said in a press release. "The ordinance will be a valuable tool in deterring crime and serving justice to anyone who engages in criminal activity at a DeKalb gas or service station."
Cochran-Johnson introduced the ordinance.
The ordinance also covers "high-risk" businesses.
A high-risk business is defined in the ordinance as, "having more than three calls for police service within 30 consecutive days or is a retail establishment where a serious crime such as murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, armed robbery, rape, child molestation, aggravated sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, any felony possession or possession with intent to distribute controlled substances in violation of Georgia or federal law, any crime involving the use of a firearm or any crime involving human trafficking has occurred."
Renewing business licenses will also be tied to complying with the new law, which goes into effect on June 30.
According to the ordinance, convenience stores and high-risk businesses must:
— Keep a video surveillance system in continuous operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including outside business hours.
— Meet the minimum standard of 4MP Wi-Fi network cameras that includes digital video recording with 24 frames per second and infrared night vision to ensure clarity.
— Place cameras at registers, points of entry and exit, gas pumps, loading docks, and parking areas.
— Undergo inspection of new construction plans or a one-time initial inspection of video surveillance system to ensure compliance.
– Submit an annual affidavit with each application for the renewal of a business license that the video surveillance system is operational and in full compliance with the applicable requirements and standards within Ordinance, following the initial inspection.
— Place notice of presence of video surveillance system at the register and on premise to inform the public that the premises are actively monitored.
— Make a digital video recording available to the chief or any other peace officer for viewing no later than 72 hours after being requested.
— Store footage for 60 day. Footage must display proper date and time.
— Ensure VSS capture and lighting extends no less than 75 feet off the building periphery.
"All convenience stores that have video surveillance systems installed prior to the effective date will be required to ensure their systems are in full compliance and must obtain an assessment approval from DeKalb County Code Enforcement," the announcement from the county says. "In addition, all convenience stores must be compliant with the provisions upon opening their doors or before the renewal of their business license."
Business owners that don't comply can be cited, fined and possibly imprisoned.
"To implement the program throughout unincorporated DeKalb, six dedicated DeKalb County Code Enforcement personnel will be hired," the announcement says. "Everyone is encouraged to read the approved video surveillance system legislation in its entirety by clicking here."

social media lashes wallabies axing as cheika denies cover up
Fair to say it hasn't been an ideal preparation for the Wallabies final Test of the year against England.
Adam Ashley-Cooper cuts a dejected figure at training Photo: Getty Images
Michael Cheika denied there was an attempt to cover up the axings of Kurtley Beale and Adam Ashley-Cooper from the Wallabies' squad for bringing three people back to their hotel room in Italy last week.
The Wallabies won just their fourth test of the year against Italy in Padua last weekend, with Ashley-Cooper playing a prominent role as Beale - who has struggled for form in 2018 - coming off the bench.
However, Beale and Ashley-Cooper were perhaps fortunate to have even played that match as they invited three people, one of whom was Ashley-Cooper's sister-in-law, to their room prior to the Italy match.
Wallabies skipper Michael Hooper said that despite the pair breaking team rules by having people in the room, the Wallabies leadership group did not advise coach Michael Cheika until the following Tuesday after the game as preparations for Saturday's Test against England at Twickenham began.
"We were well into the week, so the idea was to focus on the (Italy) game, to get through that and then deal with it afterwards," Hooper said.
When told of the matter, Cheika decided to drop the two Wallabies veterans for this match, but then told a media conference on Thursday that Beale had been dropped because of form issues.
But when the story of the disciplinary axings emerged, Cheika was forced into an embarrassing back flip on Friday as he denied lying or covering up what had occurred.
"I said he has been in and out of form this whole year, which he has been, he was on the bench last week (against Italy)," Cheika said told reporters.
"I considered leaving him out of the team last week on form.
"I know that's your mentality to think everything is a cover-up, but it's not, I want to be really clear.
"If there's a third party involved (who made a complaint), 100 percent, we've got to have absolute clarity on how we deliver because there's other people.
"But inside of the team, I answer to Rugby Australia, they understand what's happening inside of the team, and they're fully supportive of what we've done.
"I don't think I need to come out and tell anyone just for the sake of it.
"Once it comes out and there's whispers, then I have to set the record straight, which is what I'm doing."
With Cheika's job on the line after a disastrous 2018 that's seen the Wallabies lose eight of 12 Tests - they even lost to Argentina at home during the Rugby Championship - the England Test represented a final chance this year for the coach to show he should remain in charge for next year's World Cup.
And when asked if the team was in disarray, Cheika said: "I think 'disarray' is a little bit harsh mate. This is equivalent to someone being late or missing a curfew. If anything it's a team that has got clarity on where it wants to go."
The team rule itself has come under criticism from social media, although others believe Beale and Ashley-Cooper's actions are representative of the Wallabies' drop in standards.
Am I missing something here? Grown humans not allowed other people in their hotel rooms... including family members?
"The women were known by the pair, with one of them Ashley-Cooper's sister-in-law, but team rules stipulate guests are not allowed into player's rooms." https://t.co/wEdux2uW1V
— Neroli Meadows (@Neroli_M_FOX) November 23, 2018
We aren't serious. Grown men bring friends back to hotel room until midnight and they miss out on a crucial Test match? Joint has gone mad #rugby #Wallabies https://t.co/U8n0OOfmMk
— James Willis (@JamesWillis873) November 23, 2018
You really couldn't make this up #harmless team unity will shattered - total lack of leadership - players should all know what each other are doing on Tour esp the Captain and the leadership group - more really bad man management Qantas Wallabies... https://t.co/AyJB2HxBlT
— Kiwi Fleetie RugaNut (@rugbyunionutter) November 23, 2018
And there is one of the many reasons the wallabies are not competitive as much as they should be. Bonehead officials and rules, as with a lot of other sports.
— allan ingleton (@allaningleton) November 23, 2018
Not a brilliant time to be a Wallabies supporter 🙄
— Julia Mather (@mather_julia) November 23, 2018
I recall when Beale and O'Connor were disciplined by Ewan McKenzie the southern media attacked the coach and support team and eventually had him sacked. Recurring offender but the silence is deafening. #Wallabies unprofessional behaviour protected boys club.
— Wayne Offer (@wayne_offer) November 23, 2018
and you wonder why the Wallabies are a joke rn, when even your senior players are breaking team protocol
— JOHN MARK (@Jhn_mrk86) November 23, 2018
It must be very frustrating to be a Wallabies fan but for the rest of us it's rugby's best soap opera. What will they do next?

Along with Beale and Ashley-Cooper, David Pocock is also out of the team after suffering another neck injury, this time against Italy last weekend.
Not surprisingly, Australia are now out to as much as $4 to get the win against England.

Value of Meetings
Silences & Gazing
Who is John de Ruiter and why does he do what he does?
John de Ruiter is a Canadian philosopher, who in his youth awakened to deeper levels of reality, and continues to deepen, learn, and grow. Since 1986, a few friends, and gradually hundreds more have responded to John, his presence inspiring deeper levels of sincerity and awareness. Like the trades in which he is versed, John's meetings are hands-on, focused on detail and integrity. What do you truly know? How can you grow and change based on your most profound and sincere realizations? John is a man, shaped by his deepest known truth, who shares his awakening with those who appreciate its meaning.
While making orthopedic shoes and mining his heart for the significance of his awakening, John responded increasingly to the people who found life-giving truth in his words and presence. Thousands have found healing, inspiration, and fulfilment in John's meetings, and while the fruit of John's work has been tremendous, the reason for it is still as subtle and simple as the tiny bit of rock-solid truth that John said "yes" to when he was seventeen.
Is John qualified to offer psychological or spiritual advice?
John is not trained as a psychologist or therapist. His meetings are not based on schooling or reading, but on his own direct knowing and the same core-splitting honesty he awakens in others. John's meetings and teachings are not to be simply believed or followed. His message is that the responsibility is yours to believe only and precisely what you know is true.
Can I meet John in person?
There are many opportunities to meet John in person. He attends The Jewel Café before every meeting. He also attends dinners, potlucks, and parties. John is widely available to speak with others about their lives and their awakenings.

Why does John sit so still and speak so slowly?
John speaks to deeper levels in others through deeper levels in himself. Physical movement and personality has little to do with it and so his expression is toned down to the simplicity of quiet realization. Just as deeper levels inside exclude the superficial faculties that don't match, John's communication is minimal to reach deeper, less than is conventional to communicate much more. .
What is The College of Integrated Philosophy?
The College of Integrated Philosophy is an organization focused on all aspects of human development from the core values of honesty and knowing.
The College of Integrated Philosophy organizes meetings and seminars with philosopher John de Ruiter to explore deeper meaning through dialogue and silent reflection. Meetings are four per week as well as extended seminars for each season. The College complements these meetings with The Jewel Cafe, film viewings, and other events and celebrations. From the cafe to the New Year's Eve party, events at The College provide an opportunity to speak about meaning in life or simply meet with others who share an interest in profound reality.
Are there any obligations implied by attending a meeting?
There are no obligations implied in attending a meeting. Anybody may come or go. Of course, there are understood codes for politeness as well as practical guidelines for the café and speaking in the questioner's chair.
Do I need to register or become a member?
There is no official membership or registration. Meetings are on a drop-in basis. However, the quarterly seminars and international events do require registration.
Do meetings with John lead to some kind of certification?
Going to meetings implies no official requirement or result. The entire focus is knowing and realizing deeper meaning and nothing more, except for social events like cinema nights and other festivities.
Why do John's meetings and seminars cost money?
John's meetings are facilitated by thousands of working hours. The facilities for John's meetings, as well as seminars held around the world, require full-time staff to operate. The audio and visual team works hard to produce ongoing recordings and manage hundreds of meeting files and informal talks with John. Generous volunteers help greatly, but it remains expensive to support John's work in Edmonton and around the world. The entrance fee helps to cover these costs.
What are the prices for John's meetings and seminars?
Prices for regular weekend meetings in Edmonton are $10 at the door. Seminar prices vary depending on when and whether you register for the full seminar or select individual meetings. There are early-bird rates indicated in the registration details for each seminar. International meetings also vary in price depending on country and on time of registration.
Will I be solicited for financial contributions or donations?
Other than the posted entrance fees for regular meetings, Edmonton seminars, and international events, no financial requirements are entailed in meetings. However, independent groups have launched fundraisers, and donations have helped to make The College the beautiful place that it is.
Are the meetings arranged as a course?
There is no official structure guiding meetings, but meetings may develop themes or new concepts that grow and change over time.
What is the format of meetings with John?
Meetings follow a simple format. Seats are arranged facing the stage on which John sits easily visible. By the time the café closes, everybody has had a chance to find a seat. According to schedule, John takes the stage and the meeting begins.
Anybody wishing to speak with John signs up at the back of the hall. Either in person or by two electronic notice boards, the selected questioners are asked to go to the audio centre at the back of the hall for further instructions. John slowly looks around the room at the beginning and end of each meeting. His eye contact with the questioner is the cue to pick up the microphone. The questioner may say much or little to John, who often sits silently in response. Only the person sitting in the questioner chair in connection with John is expected to speak. The other people in the room may sit, listen, watch, and go as they like. Meetings are between two and three hours long. John ends each meeting by looking around the room and then he simply removes his microphone and walks off stage.
Why does John sit on a stage above everyone?
When John meets people in the café, he sits at the tables; when at the espresso machine, he stands next to the barista; in the grand hall, he sits on the stage so that he can see everybody and everybody can see him. His elevated seating is not to do with power, as some may suppose. He meets people in the most practical and appropriate way for each setting.
What is the purpose of the screens that show John and the questioner?
All the inner transformation shows in subtle ways in the face and body. The screens allow the audience to see these subtleties in John's face and the questioner's.
Why do I have to sign up to speak with John in the meeting?
The sign-up table is a practical way of organizing the meetings. A spontaneous system may seem more flowing at first, but the flow in meetings is internal. The sign-up table takes care of a selection process that would otherwise be a social and personal distraction.
Why does the questioner have to speak into a microphone?
As the meeting hall is large, it would be difficult to hear the dialogue without microphones. The communion people experience in meetings is not only between the questioner and John, as everybody in the room is connected. The microphone allows everybody to follow the dialogue.
Why does John only speak with one person at a time and not address everyone in meetings?
Although John is responsive to the entire room, he primarily works by connecting with the person in the questioner's chair. He relates to the needs and sincerity of that person and speaks principles that apply generally. The individual connection comes first because John isn't a theorist; his teachings come from the relevance of the direct connection. When you sit in the questioner's chair and experience the depth and realness of John's attention, you understand why his focus is singular.
Are the meetings audio and video recorded?
Meetings are audio and video recorded so that people can enjoy them as podcast episodes, downloadable audio files, CDs, and video on demand.
What kinds of topics do the meetings cover?
The meetings are open to any topic relating to truth, goodness, reality, and knowledge, while personal issues, family, relationships, work, and life are all included within the perspective of meaning in life. The meetings are not a forum for academic debate about politics or religion, unless the focus matches the question underlying all meetings: how can I be true?
What do the meetings have to offer me?
Recognizing what meetings offer is understanding what they are not intended to be — sessions for self-help, therapy, or entertainment, though the best of all three often feature. Meetings could be compared to a meaningful life: steady and deep, where the profound is in the subtle and sustained attention brings moments of awe.
The orientation of meetings is around any traces of awareness actually known to be true. Meetings are an opportunity for each person to discern and know what is true within, and love it. It's a subtle focus with profound benefits. Clean, deep honesty changes your life. Relationships, family, and your own self heal and grow. Difficulty becomes no longer a threat, but an opportunity, and meaning and goodness is found in even the most surprising places. This reorientation is perhaps sweetest in relationships. It is life-answering to know within your own heart that joy and love belongs to what is deeper. For two in relationship, that surrender is a mystery beautifully unfolding. The meetings uphold that truth, as John continues to elaborate on the intricacies of what it means to be with another person. The result is more depth and love in relationships, while the source remains goodness for its own sake.
Meetings may seem at first like uneventful meditations, but so much is happening in the silence and the words between John and those attending meetings. The quality of connection and dialogue is that of legends, as people go deeper within and speak with one who conveys the sublime. The questioner alone provides a rare glimpse into the human being. In a world of millions of strangers, how often do you see the expression of what a person really is? In meetings, you bear witness to the deeper within people and see the subtleties of change in their faces. One after another, questioners present their deepest concerns, awakenings, and inspiration. A treat and an honour to behold.
After nearly thirty years, gentleness and care continues to be John's response to both the meekest and most challenging questioners. John uplifts the best in each person. Sometimes he is witty and playful; sometimes direct. His replies range from pithy flashes of insight to entire manifestos on consciousness and reality. Together, the beautiful questioners and John's teachings are a goldmine of meaning.
Apart from the transformation of inner and outer life, meetings offer a healing stillness, an ambience of goodness, and wonderful company, plus the elegance of the café, the grand hall, and the summer garden.
What is the practical benefit of attending a seminar with John?
Meetings with John orient to transcendental realities, but the realization of goodness, at the heart of meetings, is also transformational in the practical aspects of life. Deepening the heart's sincerity is essential to the mind and emotions; healthier relationships and functionality in life naturally result. For stress or conflict, there is no remedy like openness and softness of heart. The learning in meetings doesn't park at the benefit, but as people continue to realize deeper levels within themselves, the practical growth is endless.
The four seasonal seminars at The College of Integrated Philosophy are an intensive exploration of life's meaning. Each day of realization and dialogue builds upon the last. On deeper human levels, the seasonal seminars are groundbreaking. In the arena of daily life, the seminars are a well-spring. And when you go to work, or school, or your more challenging relationships, you will notice a perspective and equilibrium that may change your whole life.
Why does John gaze around the room before and after the meeting?
From his deepest awareness, John connects with the whole room. He makes eye contact with each person because everybody's heart and awareness contributes to the deeper levels occurring in the hall. John supports these deeper levels by staying in his deepest awareness and sincerity.
What is the meaning of the gazing in the meetings?
The gazing is part of the nature of meetings. The focus is inward, so there is no need for conversation or physical activity. Sitting there facing John, the eyes are naturally open and relaxed.
But the visual connection is more than just a result of the seating arrangement; it's an active way of taking part and deepening in meetings. Looking toward John and the questioner is like opening inner eyes and letting everything in, and as there is much to see inside, so is there in the meeting hall. People describe golden light and other reflections of deeper meaning. There are not only visual and physical counterparts to realizations of the heart, but also a numinous element in John's presence which people see and feel. John is active in his connections with the questioner and everybody in the hall. He perceives deeply and speaks and emanates the qualities of goodness flowing through him.
Do I need to look into John's eyes to benefit from meetings?
Looking into John's is certainly not required to receive the benefit of the profound space and teaching in meetings. You are welcome to look at whatever inspires you in meetings, whether the screens showing John and the questioner, the general ambience, or close your eyes and relax and write in your note-book. Many people experience a heightened awareness when they look into John's eyes, and this heightened awareness is no way available only in direct connection with John. Where ever the gaze falls, meetings are an environment for deeper realization and the opening of the heart. There is a humorous misconception that everybody is sitting in anticipation of John's eye contact. The nature of meeting creates deep fulfillment no matter where the eyes rest. The seeing is on the inside.
Is the gazing a form of hypnosis or mind control?
The Oxford English Dictionary defines hypnosis as:
1. The inducement or the gradual approach of sleep.
2. Artificially produced sleep: esp. that induced by hypnotism; the hypnotic state.
Opening up inside and letting go of distracting patterns and preoccupations is essential to both meetings and going to sleep at night. The body can respond to both similarly, so people occasionally become drowsy in meetings. It can also be the relaxation after a long day's work.
There is no induced sleep or hypnotic process in meetings. As for mind control, the meetings support you to place your mind in the control of your own integrity. John teaches that the mind is innocent and not an illusory force. The mind is a facility that reflects and expresses what is deeper within a person. Meetings build up the resources of goodness inside, who and what you really are, so that you can support your mind to function fully and truly. The mind belongs to the deeper levels of you and meeting with John only brings the mind back to that crystal clear basis. You take responsibility for your own mind.
Why are there sometimes long periods of silence in meetings?
Meetings are for realizing deeper and truer levels of consciousness. Not only does the silence leave space for these subtleties of realization, but also naturally results from them. John has said that much of the work in meetings is done in the silences. The space between each word underlies its meaning. The spaces give time for realizations and senses of meaning to go deeper. It isn't about information, but the way every word reaches the individual. In silence, John inspires deeper awareness because he is actively embodying the deepest that he knows. Likewise, the others in the hall may tune into their own awakenings. The stillness of meetings is an opportunity to quietly reflect and an opening to realize your connection to deeper levels of reality.
Why does John sometimes not answer at all?
When a questioner speaks, John responds to the depth he sees in that person. Despite the convention of responding when somebody speaks to you, the exchanges in meetings are based on levels deeper than social and personal expectations. John speaks only from his finest sense of what is happening in the questioner, the room, and only when words contribute. John's silence isn't personal. The silence is like the deeper knowing that has no need for action or results. The words are like choices in life that only need to take place if they're known to be good.
How does John's teaching match with the controversy associated with him?
For every person who knows of John de Ruiter, there is another opinion about him. These views range from love to resentment and everything in between. Despite beliefs that John is acting in his own interest at the expense of his audience, those around him experience a loving and generous person. We experience that the meetings and teaching of John de Ruiter are of profound benefit, heightening awareness of what is deeper than ourselves, so that a better life can manifest from living in our hearts.
The meetings and dialogues with John de Ruiter deepen a true relationship with sexuality, power and what we do and do not know. If you are interested in the teachings of John de Ruiter, you are invited to consider popular interpretations of these issues as well as levels of perception that are less obvious or less common. John's teaching is to discern and believe only what you know is true. This applies to everything John says as well as everything that is said or written about him.
What criticism is directed to John de Ruiter?
Many discerning and sincere people respect John de Ruiter as a unique speaker of truth and evolution of consciousness, and many others are skeptical. Criticism centres around John's sexual relations with women, the belief that John is leading a cult for personal gain, the belief that John cultivates followers primarily for financial profit, and the long periods of silence in John's meetings. These questions are considered in more detail below.
John and sexual relations with women
In a time when sexual misconduct is gaining more recognition as a major issue, some people misattribute the stereotypes to John de Ruiter. John's conduct in regards to sexuality holds to an exacting standard of communication and respect. This was brought into question when John de Ruiter made public the fact of his consensual sexual relations with women beyond the traditional scope of marriage. John states that despite the impact this has on the community around him and his own life, he acts only according to a profound inner clarity. These are John's words:
At its core, sexuality is designed for the realization of the being. Attraction and aversion is the first place we go in our relationship with sexuality, and the primary distraction. The subtleties are then lost. The awareness we gain in meetings opens us to the meaning of sexuality, on levels that exist before attraction and aversion even registers. The true relationship with sexuality is about what is deeper than attraction and aversion, deeper than ourselves.
I have moved in being with women other than my wife. This means being together physically and sexually. It is independent of desire, and oriented to realization of what is deeper. Sexuality is so profoundly core to awakening, but in ways not known to convention. It isn't easy to understand on the surface and it isn't about the surface. Still, the way it impacts all of us is significant.
However this may look on the surface, I know that it comes to me through my response to what I most deeply know on a metaphysical level. I invite anybody in proximity to me to draw from the equivalent clarity within them.In addressing the person or couple to whom I have given the invitation, I asked nothing but that each finds a response that is deeply rested and true to their own clarity.
All we have is what we know, and that reaches from the details of surface life to the very deepest. That's what this is about, the finest point of what we most deeply know and the levels of meaning and being which exist beyond that point. Knowing is a point of no question, no further choices, just the love inherent to awareness at rest.
I do not navigate fundamentally by the effect on others or myself. I follow the thread of pure knowing, and with my conscious self, take utmost care of the effect on others. As trite as it may sound, all I had is what I knew, from within what is deeper than myself, and strange as it sounds, what is deeper than my being. And it was and is clearer than my entire existence. It's clearer and more real to me than physical reality.
I do not know how to make that real to someone else. I do not know how to convey to anyone that which I come from. I can only say it as it is and many have, and many have not, known a profound resonance with what I am bringing. I communicate this as directly as I can, and other than that, I can only continue to do and be what I know.
Silence in John's Meetings
Meetings with John contain periods of silence. These silences are not deliberate, but are the result of the connections between John and the other people in his meetings as they open to realizations. Alternatively, the silence in meetings has been interpreted as a method by John de Ruiter of acquiring power over participants in meetings, rather than a space in which deeper communication occurs. This is summarized by Paul Joosse, then an associate professor at the University of Alberta:
De Ruiter's management of three distinct aspects or qualities of interpersonal silence allows him to perform seemingly miraculous feats for his devotees. Firstly, the projection-eliciting aspect, of interpersonal silence fosters the belief within devotees that de Ruiter has the ability to speak to the specific personal needs of people whom he has never met. Secondly, the punitive aspect of silence enables de Ruiter to perform superhuman displays of power over others at meetings. Thirdly, de Ruiter's use of silence fosters the belief that he has a miraculous ability to form intimate bonds with complete strangers, simply by gazing at them.
This interpretation may not match the practical reality of being in a meeting and seeing what takes place in the silence. For more information about the nature of the silence in John's meetings, you can visit the Silences & Gazing section of the FAQ.
Do John and his meetings constitute a cult?
Observing the full attendance at John's meetings and audiences' dedication to his teachings, writers have described the community as a cult, and John de Ruiter as a cult leader. Much of the value and inspiration in meetings is attributed to John and yet the constant emphasis of his teaching is for all to reach what is truly known to them individually and to believe nothing else. John sets no control on people's actions or beliefs intentionally. He does everything he can to balance the perceived power differential of "student and teacher." He reflects questioning back into each person's own evaluation, invites various interpretations and encourages everybody to educate and develop themselves in all aspects of life. The meetings, open mics, and social discussions are for the development and enjoyment of anybody who chooses to attend them.
In all settings, The College of Integrated Philosophy and the community openly questions itself and John. Discussions around tables in The Jewel Cafe are a forum where open dialogue is welcome, complemented by occasional large-scale events for all to examine the nature of the community and John. The self-critique has both formal and comical expressions. Around the fire at The Nordegg Camping Trip, we have stand-up comedy evenings and skits laying bare the quirks and blind-spots of meetings and John. Anybody is fair game and everybody is laughing. Cinema Nights are a more casual format that allows for a direct and sometimes humorous approach to understanding John and the community.
Those at meetings form a community by a shared interest in John's teaching, not by any other structure. As we welcome the inspiration, we take care of the dynamics of being a community.
Are John and the meetings motivated mainly by financial profit?
As John de Ruiter bases his meetings in a high-end venue and charges money for the meetings, writers and critics suggest that he is operating for maximum profit in exchange for a "product that is nonexistent."
John's reply is typically that no luxury is needed to provide a location for meetings, but that he is grateful to be able to maintain a beautiful building for the meetings and the general public. He has stated that The College of Integrated Philosophy is not focused on profit or personal investment, but to continually facilitate the meetings and other events. John stated:
Money is not needed for any evolution of awareness or any opening of the heart, except to sustain living in body. Money is also not in conflict with the evolution of awareness: it is a resource that allows us to grow and do more with the awareness we have. With all the finances available to us as an organization, we are are reinvesting in our time together as a community. This building was constructed by donation and volunteers and that means that what we have is for all of our benefit. The results go back into the foundation. I love that we can be in a place that is uplifting and matches what occurs in meetings.
John describes a conversation with one of his critics
From a meeting with John de Ruiter in which he recalls speaking with one of his critics, Professor Stephen Kent at the University of Alberta. This illustrates how different perspectives can hold a common ground.
Q: Academics have actually written papers calling you a cult, calling this a cult.
J: That's fine. Then I just keep being what I know to be and doing what I know to do. What I fundamentally relate to is goodness and it's what I fundamentally relate to in others. The beingness of that in either is love. We met, Stephen Kent and I.
Q: Who is Stephen Kent?
J: The academic that you're speaking of. We had a wonderful conversation and I thoroughly enjoyed him.
Q: What did you like about him?
J: First, I just really enjoyed being with him. How what moved in our conversation was really meaningful. What I enjoyed about him is that everywhere we went in our conversation, I found meaning and goodness.
Q: Where did you go in your conversation?
J: We talked about a lot of different ideals and different beliefs.
Q: Can you be specific?
J: We talked about different religions and how religion functions. I shared my past; he shared some of his.
Q: What did you share about your past?
J: That I grew up in a Christian family but the beliefs within my family weren't anything that I could relate to. So I didn't disbelieve and I also didn't believe. It just didn't really make sense to me. I explained to him what it was like to be taken to church every week. I explained to him how I awakened. He spoke of his own past. All of our conversation was heartwarming. It was all intellectually stimulating but the very best part is that we were meeting. There was a sense of real meaning that wasn't dependent on what we were speaking about and it came through everything that we spoke of.
What are the extreme criticisms of John de Ruiter?
Some libellous statements have been circulated about John de Ruiter, both online and in print. These imagine ties between John and mental or physical abuse. These are not tasteful to manufacture, nor to have to comment on. Abuse of any kind is a serious topic; allegations wrongly made are also serious. John de Ruiter lives by a meticulous code of ethics in regards to financial, legal, and personal matters.
Are the extreme criticisms about John de Ruiter true?
Various sources on the internet raise concerns of a legal or moral nature, alluding to physical and mental abuse. As erroneous and untruthful statements have been alleged, it is important to clarify that:
John did not study hypnosis or persuasive techniques.
John did not use sex as a means of control or submission over any person.
John did not contribute to the disappearance of Anina Hundsdoerfer in any way. Her death is as tragic and mysterious to him as to all of us.
Both John and The College of Integrated Philosophy respect the sanctity of sexuality. Absolute value is placed on honesty, and communication in sexuality.
John is scrupulous in all financial, legal, and personal matters.
There is no avoiding libel once people dispense it, but we invite readers and thinkers to be more responsible than writers who confuse assumption and fact. John and The College of Integrated Philosophy are deeply committed to factual, ethical and rational conduct.
Independent of any external criticism, The College of Integrated Philosophy and the community has always embraced questions and concerns about itself. We love learning and rest on John's core teaching to "believe only what you know is true." We welcome all questions and comments in that spirit.

Ryan Callahan has missed two games due to a re-aggravated upper-body injury. J.T. Miller has missed six games.
Tampa Bay Lightning center J.T. Miller (10), seen on Dec. 27 against Philadelphia, has now missed six games.
J.T. Miller skated on Thursday morning, but Ryan Callahan did not. Both are working their way back from injuries.
Miller, however, skated as a defenseman. No, he's not changing his position. Miller skated with D Mikhail Sergachev to even out the numbers with 13 forwards and seven defensemen skating.
"We're hopeful for the trip," coach Jon Cooper said. "He's getting close. He's making strides."
Miller has missed six games with an undisclosed upper-body injury. The upcoming trip features a back-to-back against Buffalo and the Islanders on Saturday and Sunday, then a game against Dallas on Tuesday.
Callahan missed Tuesday's game with an undisclosed upper-body injury. He skated in the optional morning skate before the game, but wasn't in the lineup.
Cooper said he "re-aggravated something," which presumably means either the shoulder or back spasms that have kept Callahan out of games this season. Cooper expects Callahan to be back during the trip.

Q: Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() I've been looking at this code for ages now and I cant really understand what it want from me. I keep getting the same error message no matter what I try and I've looked through other threads to no avail. The error is Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\new_serverside\sprint1.php on line 63. my code is :
<?php
    include 'ConfigDB.php';
?>

            <?php
             if(getConnection())
                {
                    echo "Server connection successful";
                }
                else
                {
                    echo "Problem with connection";
                }

            ini_set('display_errors', 1);

            global $dbh;

            $query = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM faculty");
            $query->execute();
            $result = $dbh->query($query);

            foreach($result as $row)
            {
                echo $row['Name'] . "<br/>";
            }
            ?>

A: Call var_dump() on $dbh just after the global reference.
var_dump($dbh);

You should find something in there that isn't what you're expecting.

A: The error means that $dbh isn't an object, so you can't call the prepare() method on it. Where is $dbh initialized? Try doing var_dump($dbh); before calling prepare() to see what's really in that variable.

A: The error sounds like $dbh hasn't initialized properly. You can make sure that won't happen in the future by using a singleton class instead of a global variable.
class DB {
    private $instance = NULL;
    private __construct() {
        // create an instance of your db handler
    }
    public static getInstance() {
        if (!$this->instance)
            $this->instance = new DB();
        return $this->instance;
    }
}

And use it in your code like this
$dbh = DB::getInstance();

Once, while having my ticket inspected on a train, the guard looked at the book I was reading and said, "Oh, you're reading that. My brother read that once – hated it".
No. Instead it's things that you don't notice in films until they go wrong. Watch a bad movie, a movie that just somehow nebulously feels bad. Why is it bad? Part of it is bad writing, part of it is bad acting, bad music, bad lighting. But often if you can't put your finger on it – it's bad direction. Directors don't just tell actors their motivation and tell somebody to point a camera in their general direction – they frame the movie for you. And there is a language to it.
The same thing happens with direction. It's the combination of the director of photography's choices, the editors choices, and the director giving them enough options to work with. There's a language that's been built up. Two characters (mid two person shot, waist up, push camera towards), one speaks (cut to close up face, push towards) "We can do this.", other responds (same shot on the other), "It's a deal." (slam cut to hands shaking, slam cut to legs walking away, slam cut to long shot with the two full body). You've seen it so many times before. It's surprising now when you don't see it. It's the language. Or it is? They didn't use slam cuts before Kubrick and this book was about how this language emerged. Yeah, remember that book, the one the ticket inspector recognised.

French wine, live rodents among 2 tons of cargo returned from space station – Spaceflight Now
SpaceX's Cargo Dragon spacecraft departs the International Space Station Tuesday. Credit: NASA TV/Spaceflight Now
A SpaceX Cargo Dragon capsule parachuted to an on-target splashdown Wednesday night west of Tampa, returning more than two tons of experiment specimens from the International Space Station, including live rodents and a dozen bottles of space-aged French wine.
The commercial supply ship, flying on autopilot, dropped out of orbit and re-entered the atmosphere over the Gulf of Mexico Wednesday night. A sequence of parachutes deployed to slow the capsule's descent to a relatively gentle speed for splashdown west of Tampa, where a SpaceX recovery vessel was on standby to pull the spacecraft from the sea.
The return wrapped up a 38-day mission for the Cargo Dragon, the first in a new design of SpaceX supply ships to service the International Space Station. The upgraded Cargo Dragon, or Dragon 2, replaces SpaceX's fleet of first-generation Dragon cargo capsules, which flew for the final time in early 2020.
SpaceX confirmed the successful splashdown of the Cargo Dragon with a tweet. NASA and SpaceX did not provide any live coverage of the capsule's return to Earth. A NASA WB-57 airborne imaging plane was flying over the recovery zone to capture imagery of the Cargo Dragon's fiery re-entry and splashdown.
NASA issued a statement later Wednesday night confirming the capsule splashed down at 8:26 p.m. EST (0126 GMT).
The Cargo Dragon undocked from the space station at 9:05 a.m. EST (1405 GMT) Tuesday, one day later than planned. SpaceX and NASA managers delayed the homecoming due to poor weather in the primary recovery zone in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of Daytona Beach.
The Dragon returned to Earth with 4,414 pounds, or 2,002 kilograms, of cargo, according to a NASA spokesperson.
The new Cargo Dragon capsules are derived from SpaceX's human-rated Crew Dragon spacecraft, which ferries astronauts to and from the space station. The upgraded Cargo Dragon capsule, like the Crew Dragon, is designed to splashdown off the coast of Florida, closer to SpaceX's Dragon refurbishment facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The closer proximity to Cape Canaveral allows SpaceX to return time-sensitive cargo to NASA's Kennedy Space Center within as few as four to nine hours. Past Dragon cargo missions ended with splashdowns in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Baja California, and it took days for space station research specimens to be transferred to NASA.
The "Go Navigator" recovery ship staffed by SpaceX technicians and engineers was expected to hoist the capsule onboard its deck after splashdown. The SpaceX team planned to unload time-critical science specimens and put them on a helicopter for a flight to the Kennedy Space Center overnight.
The helicopter will arrive at Kennedy's Launch and Landing Facility, and the cargo will be transported to the nearby Space Station Processing Facility by truck, according to NASA.
Scientists there will receive the specimens to begin their analyses. After a quick look inside the SSPF at Kennedy, some of the materials will be shipped to research teams in California, Texas, Massachusetts, Japan, and other locations, NASA said.
The return of science specimens to Kennedy so quickly after their return to space harkens back to the space shuttle program, when missions brought come cargo directly to the Florida spaceport.
"I am excited to finally see science returning here again because we can get these time sensitive experiments into the lab faster than ever," said Jennifer Wahlberg, Kennedy Space Center utilization project manager, in a statement. "Sending science up to space and then receiving it again on the runway was definitely something in the shuttle days that we really took pride in, and being able to rejoin that process is great."
Experiments that came home aboard the Cargo Dragon included live mice that are part of the Rodent Research 23 investigation, which studies the function of arteries, veins, and lymphatic structures in the eye and changes in the retina before and after spaceflight, according to NASA.
Scientists are seeking insights about whether these changes affect eyesight. At least 40 percent of astronauts experience vision impairment on long-duration spaceflights, NASA says.
"Rodent Research-23 was designed to start studying rodent gravity readaptation responses as quickly as possible, making it an ideal candidate for this flight," said Jennifer Buchli, deputy chief scientist for the International Space Station program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Also aboard the Cargo Dragon: Twelve bottles of Bordeaux wine and 320 cuttings of grapevines.
The wine bottles spent more than a year on the space station after launching on a Northrop Grumman Cygnus supply ship in late 2019. Now back on Earth, some of the bottles will be opened for an exclusive tasting, while researchers will begin a more scientific analysis of some of the wine to gauge how it aged after 14 months in microgravity.
Scientists will look at the grapevine branches — called canes — to assess how they weathered the radiation and low-gravity environment in orbit. One of the goals of the privately-funded experiment, led by a Luxembourg startup named Space Cargo Unlimited, is to learn how the plants adapted to the stress of spaceflight.
Space Cargo Unlimited says grapes and wineries are susceptible to climate change, and results from the space station experiment could lead to lessons on how to grow grapes in harsher environments on Earth.
There was also a biomedical experiment led by researchers at Stanford University looking at how microgravity affects cardiovascular cells, and an experiment developed by Japanese scientists demonstrating the growth of 3D organ buds from human stem cells in space.

Other experiments returned to Earth included a payload led by researchers at Texas State University seeking to identify bacterial genes used during biofilm growth. The investigation examined whether these biofilms can corrode stainless steel, and evaluates the effectiveness of a silver-based disinfectant, to help designers of future long-duration space vehicles.
Materials from a fiber optic production technology demonstration also came home on the Cargo Dragon. Scientists and engineers will examine the fiber optic materials manufactured on the space station to see if they match predictions that fibers produced in space have "far superior qualities to those produced on Earth," NASA says.
The upgraded Cargo Dragon spacecraft has more internal volume than SpaceX's first-generation Dragon cargo ship, which conducted its last mission to the space station in 2020. It also has double the powered locked capability than previous Dragon capsules, and can support up to 12 such lockers for return to Earth, adding more capacity to bring back frozen and refrigerated samples.
"Using the previous Dragon spacecraft, it could take up to 48 hours from the time the capsule hits the water in the Pacific Ocean for it to be back in Long Beach, California. We then started distributing those samples about four to five hours after that,," said Mary Walsh, Kennedy's Research Integration Office utilization flight lead. "Now we are going to have early return science in hand and turn it over to researchers at just four to nine hours after splashdown."
"That ability to get science back quickly is so important for space biology because we want to understand whether the effects that we're trying to measure on orbit are due to the microgravity condition or due to the stress that a participant or a sample might see on landing," said Kirt Costello, NASA's chief space station program scientist. "So having those returned to the Cape really quickly and handed over to our scientists is a great new capability."
Other changes introduced with the new Cargo Dragon spacecraft include the ability to automatically dock and undock at the station. The first-generation Dragon cargo freighters were grappled by the station's robotic arm.
The Cargo Dragon's pressurized compartment can be reused five times, according to SpaceX. The unpressurized trunk is disposable, and a new one will fly on each Cargo Dragon mission.
Before firing its braking rockets to fall out of orbit, the Cargo Dragon jettisoned its trunk section to remain in space before atmospheric drag causes it to naturally re-enter the atmosphere and burn up. The capsule also closed a nose cone to cover its docking port before plunging back into the atmosphere.
The Cargo Dragon launched Dec. 6 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on top of a Falcon 9 rocket. The capsule arrived at the space station the next day with an automated linkup with a new docking port on the zenith, or top-facing, side of the research outpost's Harmony module.
It delivered to the space station numerous experiments and a commercial airlock for Nanoracks, a Houston-based company that plans to use the addition to deploy small satellites, dispose of trash, and host research investigations.
The Cargo Dragon mission was SpaceX's 21st resupply flight to the space station since 2012 under a multibillion-dollar contract with NASA.

One of the most spectacular results of the federal war on cancer has been the high rate of cure achieved for children with cancer, with complete remission rates as high as 90% that often portend long-term cure (1, 2). However, the human costs of cure are high, including acute toxicities and life-threatening treatments, financial stresses, and ongoing psychosocial effects for the patient and family. The latter two are especially manifest during the transition period from acute treatment to follow-up after therapy, which is associated with ongoing surveillance for recurrence and retreatment as necessary and assessment for potential late effects of cancer treatment. This is the story...

If you pay utilities, then you understand how easy it is for prices to fluctuate. This is because, in recent times, there has been an increase in the number of utility service providers, which has caused changes in prices and quality of service. The utilities guide will show you how to get the most from your telecom, electricity, water, gas and television utility supplier, whilst managing your usage and cutting costs.


The package installs a shell script that overrides the existing shutdown/reboot/halt/poweroff/coldreboot/pm-hibernate/pm-suspend* commands and first runs a set of scripts, which all have to exit successfully, before molly-guard invokes the real command.
One of the scripts checks for existing SSH sessions. If any of the four commands are called interactively over an SSH session, the shell script prompts you to enter the name of the host you wish to shut down. This should adequately prevent you from accidental shutdowns and reboots.
molly-guard diverts the real binaries to /lib/molly-guard/. You can bypass molly-guard by running those binaries directly.
