The World Is On Fire! Emergency Declared Everywhere!
Many countries in the world, including Greece, Siberia, the USA, and Europe, are trying to cope with forest fires.
Experts draw attention to the fact that the fires are caused by global warmings, like the extraordinary natural events of the last period. Since the beginning of July, many countries, especially the US state of California, Russia's Siberia region, Spain, Italy, and Greece, have declared a state of emergency to extinguish forest fires after high temperatures.
Since the beginning of July, many countries, especially the US state of California, Russia's Siberia region, Spain, Italy, and Greece, have declared a state of emergency to extinguish forest fires after high temperatures.
Experts point out that global climate change and warming are the main causes of forest fires triggered by air temperature, drought, and winds, which are seen above the average.
PLACES THE SIZE OF 5 FRANCE ARE ASHED!
It was recorded that 1.5 million hectares of area, in other words, an area about 5 times the size of France, was destroyed in the forest fires that lasted for about 1 month in Siberia, the coldest region of Russia.
It is stated that the forest fires in Yakutia in the Siberia region for the last 3 years are caused by hot weather, while the fire here still could not be extinguished due to the size of the area.
Europe, especially Italy, Spain, and Greece are among the countries most affected by the fires. It was recorded that about 1,000 people were evacuated from their homes in the forest fires that started in the Sardinian islands of Italy and the government declared a state of emergency on the island. It was reported that the fires on the island were tried to be extinguished by intervening with 7,500 people and more than 20 planes.
FIRE CAUSED AT 50 POINTS IN 1 DAY!
In Greece, which has been dealing with forest fires since last Sunday, it is stated that more than 700 firefighters responded to 50 fires in the last 24 hours, but the fires are still trying to be controlled.
It has been announced that 4 out of 13 administrative regions in the country, where the temperature rises above 40 degrees, are at "very high risk of fire". Meteorologists say it was one of the most intense heats seen since the mid-1980s.
ALL HOPE OF HUMANITY IS IN THE RAIN!
Since last weekend, Spain has been fighting nearly 10 forest fires, especially in the Catalan region. While it was recorded that 1,500 hectares of land burned in the Catalan region, but the fires have just been brought under control, officials hope the expected rain will help.
82 BIG FIRE AT THE SAME TIME!
The US is trying to put out 82 large-scale wildfires simultaneously, mostly in the west. While the country was struggling with the largest forest fires in its history, it was reported that many houses were damaged in the fires in the state of California, and a state of emergency was declared in many parts of the state.

Marinus Barletius (italienska: Marino Barlezio; albanska: Marin Barleti) var en albansk historiker, författare, humanist och katolsk präst som var verksam i Italien, född cirka 1450 i staden Shkodra i Albanien, död 1512 eller runt 1520, förmodligen i Rom i Italien.

Han var i sin hemstad Shkodra när osmanerna belägrade området för andra gången 1478.

Barleti kom till Italien 1479 och påbörjade där studier i historia. Åren 1504-1505 publicerade han i Venedig De obsidione Scodrensi ("Shkodras belägring"). En engelsk version av denna bok utkom 2012 (utgiven av förlaget Onufri), vilket sammanföll med 100-årsjubileet av Albaniens självständighet.

Mellan åren 1506 och 1510 publicerade Barleti i Rom Historia de vita et gestis Scanderbegi Epirotarum principis (Historien om Skanderbegs liv och död, furste av Epirus). Det blev hans mest kända verk, biografin om Skanderbeg, som omgående översattes till flera språk, i stort sett till alla de europeiska språken. Än idag är boken den viktigaste källan för studier om Skanderbeg. Boken etablerade hyllandet av Skanderbeg och spelade en viktig roll i formandet av albanernas nationella medvetande.

Huvudbiblioteket i Shkodra har namngivits efter Marin Barleti. Även ett nygrundat universitet i Tirana (Universiteti Marin Barleti) har namngivits efter honom.

Melchizedek, whose name means "king of righteousness," was a king of Salem (Jerusalem) and priest of the Most High God (Genesis 14:18–20; Psalm 110:4; Hebrews 5:6–11; 6:20—7:28). Melchizedek's sudden appearance and disappearance in the book of Genesis is somewhat mysterious. Melchizedek and Abraham first met after Abraham's defeat of Chedorlaomer and his three allies. Melchizedek presented bread and wine to Abraham and his weary men, demonstrating friendship. He bestowed a blessing on Abraham in the name of El Elyon ("God Most High") and praised God for giving Abraham a victory in battle (Genesis 14:18–20).
Abraham presented Melchizedek with a tithe (a tenth) of all the items he had gathered. By this act Abraham indicated that he recognized Melchizedek as a priest who ranked higher spiritually than he.

'American Experience: Blackout' recalls dark night in NYC
In the big cities, we live with noise pollution and light pollution. The industrial noise air conditioners, cars and stereos prevents us from hearing the sounds of nature. The light pollution prevents us from seeing the stars. Being plunged into total darkness, without the aid of electricity can be alarming and during the summer of 1977, on 13 July, a blackout in New York City became "an orgy of violence, arson and insanity." Director Callie T. Wiser takes us back to that hot and humid night in the "American Experience" episode, "Blackout."
Living in Southern California, I've lived through a few brown outs and even one black out, but usually it isn't a whole city affected. And New York City has had a blackout before 1977. However, the 1965 NYC blackout was in November. The temperature was 43-45º and the shop keepers were just about closing up at 5:30 p.m. It was something out of the ordinary, but not scary one person recalls.
The blackout of 1977 was different because the city was different. Crime was high. Unemployment was high. Police and firefighters had been laid off. The city was about to declare bankruptcy. A serial killer dubbed Son of Sam was terrorizing the people. When the lights went out, it was late in the evening. The wine steward at the tony Windows on the World restaurant on the 107th floor of One World Trade Center recalls seeing the boroughs disappear, one by one before Manhattan was plunged into darkness. On a clear day, you could see 90 miles from the restaurant. At night, you could see lights on forever in the city that never sleeps.
The city didn't sleep that night either. While the male guests at the Windows on the World restaurant were allowed first to take their jackets off and then their ties, elsewhere things were less than civilized. The restaurant guests were drinking free champagne and elsewhere block parties broke out, but in the poorer areas, looting began with things as big and expensive as washing machines and refrigerators being stolen. At the end of the 24 hours, 3,700 people had been arrested and firefighters had put out about 1,000 fires.
Wiser combines archival footage and contemporary interviews with people from all walks of life–a firefighter, a police officer, a reporter who covered the blackout, a man who grew up to be a novelist and had been playing handball at the time, an electronics store owner, the owner of a sports and trophy store, a medical students and a graffiti artist. Also included are people who wrote about the blackout: professor of history, Joshua Freeman ("Working-Class New York: Life and Labor Since World War II"), the New York Times writer Jonathan Mahler ("Ladies and Gentleman, the Bronx Is Burning: 1977, Baseball, Politics, and the Battle for the Soul of a City") and Bruce Porter ("Blackout Looting!: New York City, July 13, 1977").
Caused by a lightening strike, the blackout was also the result of poor planning. Chief System Operator for Con Edison in July 1977 Charlie Durkin is also interviewed and recalls seeing the sky made bright by constant lightening strikes and then scrambling to help reinstate power with an emergency plan that dated back to the 1960s.
"Blackout" reminds us how dependent we were on electricity and should make us think how much more dependent we have become in the ensuing decades. The distance between the haves and have-nots may be economically long but physically short. In the end, we can't ignore the rumble of poverty's disquiet because the civility society requires can be easily destroyed in just a frightening night.
"Blackout" premiered on 14 July 2015 on PBS American Experience and is currently available VoD.

Six years ago I tried something new: gardening.
As a youngster I had been slave labor in my Dad's garden, but I didn't learn anything from that except "THOSE are not weeds, THOSE are my plants!" When I decided to try gardening for myself, I knew very little about it. Six years later I'm still trying new things.
My very first garden was a very small patch (6 feet by 12 feet) next to our storage shed: the only almost flat spot on our property. That went okay, so I expanded the following year … and ran into trouble. Planting on a slope means all the dirt I tilled up, amended, and planted washed down the slope and is gone.
So I tried something new: raised beds. Four foot by four foot boxes eight inches deep, dug into the slopes to level them up. I started with a half dozen boxes in the up-slope end of the garden and a tilled patch below for things like corn and potatoes, which I didn't think would grow well in boxes. The boxes broke up the flow of water rolling down the "lawn" and would help keep the tilled soil in place … or that was my theory. It didn't work that way, so the next year I built more boxes.
Originally I went with the Square Foot Gardening Method because the idea of maximizing my crop for space consumed and never having to weed appealed to me. These claims were – misleading. Weeds are perfectly happy to grow underneath other plants, and being underneath other, closely packed, plants makes them harder to spot and harder still to pull without damaging their hiding places. Cramming lots of plants into a small space means using fertilizer to keep the mass of vegetation growing. Lots of fertilizer. And having many plants crammed into a small space greatly promotes disease like leaf blight, especially in a damp environment like The Great Smoky Mountains.
Scratch the square foot method. Keep the boxes, but build more of them.
To deal with soil depletion, I tried something new: making compost. I tried old fashioned compost piles, compost bins, compost doughnuts, and lasagne beds. None of these made compost fast enough to keep up with the demand, but it helped. I still had to buy composted cow manure, but not as much.
The garden grew and I tried something new: berry bushes. Blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, boysenberries and grapes. To keep these safe from birds and rabbits, I built a berry house. The base is wrapped in poultry mesh to keep out the hoppy vermin, and the bows are covered in bird mesh. It works well.
If you plant a whole box of beans spaced 4 inches apart, the plants in the center don't do well and the over crowding causes problems with pest and disease control. So this year I tried something new: I planted the bean plants around the perimeter of each box and am building a lasagne bed (composting technique) in the center. This avoids wasting that space, helps keep moisture in the soil, yet allows for plenty of sunshine and air flow to all of the bean plants. At least, that's my theory, I'll let you know how it turns out.
Potatoes are difficult to grow in raised beds if you line the bottoms with weed barrier – and you have to at first or grass will snake in under the box sides and be almost impossible to keep out. Now that the beds are 5 years old, I could cut the fabric out of some of the boxes and allow deep root crops to grow down into the clay below. Or … I could try something new.
Last year, the big rage seemed to be growing potatoes in barrels, stacked tires, boxes, bins, or straw-lined cages. Everyone promised huge yields because the soil level would continue to rise as the vines grew up through the containers, offering much more space for the spuds. What most of them forgot was to plant indeterminate varieties of potato. Determinant (most types of potato) grow tubers at the base of the plant, spreading out and down as the roots grow. Only the indeterminate types will put out roots (and tubers) from the stems if they are buried. There are huge numbers of videos on YouTube of hopeful gardeners digging into their potato experiments and being vastly disappointed.
So I took a different approach. I raised the soil level in the bed by lining the fence box with straw and planted the seed spuds 4 inches down like I normally would. I added a layer of straw on top to help protect any that breech the surface from the sunlight, which makes them toxic. I am expecting the plant roots to travel out and down just like they would in standard potato hills or rows that get mounded up a bit as the vine grows.
I did plant two layers: Main crop potatoes in the lower layer, early crop on top, but staggered so they are not right above the main crop plants. I can pull out the early crop during summer as small potatoes (Yukon Gold are great for this) and leave the main crop till fall for big spuds that will cure and last through the winter. Not that we'd get enough to supply us all winter from one 4x4 box, this is an experiment. If it works, I can plant more boxes this way next year.
If it doesn't work … I'll try something new.
Charlotte, German Butterballs are one indeterminate type. So the Butterballs will grow in a tower better than Yukons.
I learned about determinate vs indeterminate tomatoes last year, I didn't realize potatoes also had that distinction. Which potatoes are determinate and which are indeterminate?

This hidden information is considered to be the black box. In an attempt to obtain some understanding, marketers study consumer behaviour.
The black box model is related to the black box theory of behaviourism, where the focus is not set on the processes inside a consumer, but the relation between the stimuli and the response of the consumer.

Jernigan Leaving East Hartford
New England Recruiting Report | Sunday, August 29th, 2010
When the students at East Hartford High School return to school this week they will be missing a familiar face as Anthony Jernigan, a three year starter and one of the top players in the CIAC, will be transferring to spend his senior season at the South Kent School.
Jernigan confirmed the decision to the New England Recruiting Report early Monday evening, emphasizing that he loved his time at East Hartford but felt this was the right move both academically and athletically.
Jernigan also said he plans to remain in the class of 2011 and graduate from South Kent this spring while keeping the door open to return next season as a post-graduate.
"I"m going in as a senior and I'm going to see how this year goes before I decide," he said.
At South Kent, Jernigan will be running the show while surrounded by a ton of talent. Maurice Harkless and Kadeem Jack are two New York natives consistently ranked within the top 50 players in the country while Derrick Randall and Ge'lawn Guyn are already committed to Big East schools in Rutgers and Cincinnati respectively. Junior Ricardo Ledo is among the top 15 players in his national class as well.
"I'm really looking forward to playing with those guys," Jernigan said, "and playing with that type of competition every day."

The Savage (Paramount, 1952)
Labels : aaa WESTERN MOVIES AND TV SHOWS REVIEWED, Charlton Heston
Ho-hum
Perhaps now that we have discussed Will Penny, Charlton Heston's Western of 1968 (click the link for that review) we might take a look at other Heston-Westerns.
There weren't as good as Will Penny, I'm afraid. It's strange, really, that a macho gun-lover like Chuck didn't do more oaters. You'd think he would have been cut out for the genre. But he only made ten (disregarding TV movies, the semi-Western Call of the Wild and his cameo as Henry Hooker in Tombstone), not a lot for the epoch. And the ones he did lead in were often iffy or even downright bad.
His very first, The Savage, was an earnest version of the old yarn in which a wagon train is attacked by Indians and all the settlers are killed except a small boy who is adopted by the Sioux and brought up by their chief, Yellow Eagle. The whites, in breach of treaties, move into the Black Hills of Dakota and the young man is now conflicted: where do his loyalties lie?
There were earlier silents based on this idea and later movies too, such as Alan Ladd being raised by Indians and later joining the Mounties in Saskatchewan (Universal, 1954). Little Big Man too. 'The Savage' is meant semi-ironically because in these movies the hero brings peace between the red and white peoples and sometimes shows more civilizational attributes than the hard-liners on each side.
The Savage, though, is a bit of a plodder in this line. Yes, there is action and Charlton goes Hestoning around the hills a lot with his shirt off showing how he has become the Alpha male of his Sioux tribe. The US Cavalry officers are quite dumb, as usual, but there are a few more enlightened men, also as usual, notably Milburn Stone (Doc Adams in Gunsmoke) who is rather good, in fact, as Corporal Martin. There's also pleasant Black Hills location photography in Technicolor by John F Seitz (The Iron Mistress, The Big Land, Saskatchewan). So yes, it has its points.
The casting, including Heston, was not one. Most of it was distinctly minor league. Heston himself had made a mark as Antony in Julius Caesar in 1950 and had also led in the crime drama Dark City that year but otherwise had done mostly TV work, and was a relative unknown on the big screen – certainly anyway in Westerns; as I said, this was his first.
But the chief trouble comes not with the acting but with the writing, uncredited on screen but in fact by Sydney Boehm and LL Foreman. It is stilted and over-earnest. Boehm was a fine writer on non-Western The Big Heat, and Foreman penned the stories for a few lesser oaters starring Sterling Hayden and George Montgomery but these writers weren't in the right league for this one. The actors playing Indians keep their Californian drawls and make no attempt at ug-speak, which is good, but they are obliged to deliver ponderous, 'noble' sentiments in a mannered way. Erik Morel on DVD Classik said that their discourse "se révèle languissant, solennel, bavard et sentencieux, comme la plupart des discours qui émailleront la suite du film" (their speech is languid, solemn, over-talkative and sententious, like most of the speeches that pepper the rest of the film).
And we need some humor, don't we? I mean 95 minutes without the hint of a smile is a bit tough going. And the actual root causes of the conflict aren't really probed at all.
At first, the growing boy, now known as War Bonnet, lives a serene life in the bosom of his new Sioux family but when rumors spread of incursions by white men, he is sent off in 'white' clothes, looking like a trapper, to the local fort in order to find out if it's true. On the way he saves some soldiers from Crow Indians, so he's in the good books of the Army when he gets to the fort (one of those Hollywooden ones, not an open Fort Laramie-style place). There, naturally, lives a fair maiden, Tally (Susan Morrow), sis of the officer he saved from the Crow, and of course love blossoms. Well, it would. Joan Taylor, as an unconvincing Indian gal, is la Morrow's chief competition for Heston's affection. Honestly, though, the whole love-interest angle is pretty perfunctory.
Love interest. Sorta.
Less than convincing
The Savage is, I suppose, a colorful US Cavalry-and-Indians romp of the period and it has some kind of a message. Broken Arrow had come out in 1950 and started to correct in a more nuanced way the old stereotype of nameless yelping redskin savages attacking the fort, so more thoughtful pictures about Indians were in vogue.
George Marshall directed. He did 50 Westerns from Across The Rio Grande in 1916 to Hec Ramsey in 1972, including Destry Rides Again, When the Daltons Rode, The Sheepman and part of How the West Was Won, and he usually did it with brio. There are some good Marshall moments in The Savage: for example, a scene looking over the green Black Hills from the fort with very many extras in the distance (the budget was there) and some of the later action is well handled. But a lot of the early reels are ponderous and laborious. It was far from Marshall at his best.
Not George's finest hour
Paramount brought it out while George Stevens was up in Wyoming shooting their Shane so big Westerns were in. And yes, it's worth a watch alright. But Shane it ain't.
Nor is it Broken Arrow, in which James Stewart knocked spots off Heston as hero, and it can't hold a candle to contemporary pro-Indian Westerns such as Anthony Mann's Devil's Doorway with Robert Taylor, and certainly not, if you count it as a pro-Indian pioneer (I rather do) to John Ford's Fort Apache.
Variety was lukewarm in its praise of The Savage: "This tale of Indian fighting travels in fairly devious circles to relate a standard story. However, it has excellent outdoor photography and liberal amounts of Indian fighting scenes."
Later critics such as Brian Garfield said something similar. Garfield thought it was "grimly overacted and the script makes no attempt to probe actual problems, but there's plenty of color and action; it's not as bad as some."
It got nowhere at the box-office. Western dollars that year were spent going to see High Noon, of course, but it was also the year of the likes of The Big Sky and Bend of the River, and The Savage wasn't anywhere near those in quality or appeal.
As a footnote, French titles for Westerns were often notoriously bad and this one was especially ridiculous. They made the hero the son of Geronimo, completely ignoring the fact that we are among Plains Indians in the Dakotas and not Apaches. Doh.
It wasn't the most auspicious start to Charlton Heston's Western career, yet the following year things were to get a great deal worse. But for 1953 Heston-Westerns, come back soon!

Jeff, good write-up of THE SAVAGE(filmed 1951, released 1952). I agree that this is an earnest made movie for it's time, but there were far better movies being made of the similar type and you named some of them. Somehow or other I think that I managed to miss this movie when it was shown on tv during my youngsterhood, but I did view it finally on the SuperStation WTBS Channel 17 out of Atlanta, in 1987. I viewed THE SAVAGE as a movie of the early 1950's not of the late 1980's.
I think the name of the movie is a misnomer, because the Miniconjou Lakota(Sioux) of this movie aren't portrayed as savages. Also, the writers of the movie got things backwards Historically. The Absaroka(Crow) were allied with the United States against its neighbors and rivals, the Lakota and Suhtai(Cheyenne). The Absaroka served as army scouts for USA troops in the West.
I like Charlton Heston in Western Movies better than you do and I think he did fine as Jim Aherne(Warbonnet) in THE SAVAGE. I don't think the movie is great, but I do think it is worth at least one viewing.
Jean-Marie DOUAU says:
When I look at the pictures of Charlton in this film it makes me think of a pre Burt Lancaster' s Massaï in Apache 4 years later… JM
Jeff Arnold says:
Hi Jean-Marie
I see what you mean but I think the difference is that Heston was playing a white adopted by the Sioux, so was entitled to look less Indian, whereas Burt was playing a full-blood Apache and was much less convincing.

It works beautifully, except when the network experiences a signal drop (like a router reset), after which the server is unreachable.
I've found a few threads that recommend writing a script, but I also found this: http://milkandtang.com/blog/2013/08/27/getting-wifi-on-a-headless-raspberry-pi/ which recommends replacing Raspbian's /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown.sh file with the one supplied by wpa_supplicant. I'm using Ubuntu and I don't appear to have that file to begin with (I don't actually know what that file does but I assume it runs ifup at some point), but it seems like there's a simpler way out of this than running a custom script. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

A: ifplugd(8) is a system daemon that that does things when interfaces are hot-plugged (or otherwise go up or down)
According to the ifplugd(8) man page for your version of Ubuntu…

FILES
[...]
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action: this is the script which will be called by the daemon whenever the state of the interface changes.  It takes two arguments:  the first is the interface name (eg. eth0), the second is either "up" or "down".

So it seems like you need to edit the /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action script to do the right things to bring Wi-Fi back up when it goes down. I'm guessing that the /etc/ifplugd/action.d/ifupdown.sh path is specific to Raspbian.

Coast Guard Academy: Class of 2018 international cadets
Posted by CWO3 Chad Saylor, Wednesday, May 9, 2018
International cadets in the Coast Guard Academy Class of 2018 receive their future assignments during Billet Night at the Coast Guard Academy, March 9, 2018. The cadets are originally from Mexico, Honduras, Gabon, Panama, Thailand and the Bahamas. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Brad Clift.
Written by Petty Officer 2nd Class Lauren Laughlin
Here at the Coast Guard Academy, the presence of international students on campus means a greater range of options, perspectives and knowledge to add to the diversity of thought on campus, and interaction with these students is an important part of the cadet experience.
The Coast Guard Academy is uniquely suited to prepare international maritime leaders to address the most complex global challenges of our time; those that require transnational solutions and long-term cooperation between nations, such as polar climate change, protection of ocean resources, terrorism, transnational crime and disaster response and recovery.
Currently, there are 28 international cadets enrolled at the Coast Guard Academy.
There are seven cadets in the Class of 2018, four in the Class of 2019, seven in the Class of 2020, and 10 in the Class of 2021.
International cadets in the Class of 2018 come from Mexico, Honduras, Gabon, Panama, Thailand and the Bahamas.
"I love being at the Coast Guard Academy," said First Class Cadet Silvia Rodriquez Rios, a cadet from Panama City, Panama. "Everyone here is willing to help you, and since it is such a small campus, everyone knows you by your first name. Not only do I get the chance to learn the American culture, but everyone wants to learn about my culture as well. Several classmates have traveled to Panama with me on vacation."
Representing one's country at a U.S. military academy is a special responsibility that can bring immense pride and professional reward. The Coast Guard Academy recognizes the importance of this commitment and provides exceptional resources to support the international cadets.
"My dad is an officer back home, and I see how passionate he is, which makes me want to bring my experiences back home and help out the fleet," said Rodriquez Rios. "Both my parents are my role models; my mom has taught me to never quit."
International cadets who graduate from the Coast Guard Academy are subject to the same rules, regulations and receive the same pay as cadets from the U.S. They earn a Bachelor of Science degree upon graduation and serve their own country for at least five years.
Since 1980, about 130 graduates from 40 nations have entered into military or governmental service after graduating from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Several past graduates have risen to positions such as chief of maritime safety for the Philippine Coast Guard, Singapore deputy director of the Ministry of Education, secretary of transportation in Costa Rica, and Secretary of Estonian Ministry of Defense.
"My advice to future international cadets is that if you're looking for a family environment, this is the place for you," said Rodriquez Rios. "It is challenging being here, but it will prepare you for everything you're going to come in contact with. Plus, there are a lot of international students from different parts of the world. There's always a different culture to learn, and you're never going to be alone."

The New Koenigsegg Jesko Can Hit 300mph
in Car News
by Alex Harrington March 5, 2019, 7:21 am
Bugatti seemed adamant to win this top speed war when they released the Chiron. For months they were exclaiming how their car will be the first to reach 300mph and wipe the Hennessey Venom F5 off the map. But quickly we noticed there was an issue. Why didn't they just… do it? It turned out that it was something to do with the tyres.
There simply wasn't the rubber available to whoosh the obese Chiron to the 300 mark, and eventually, they just gave up. They said they were no longer in the top speed game and that they were, from now on, focussing on another niche. So we looked to Hennessey.
They said that they didn't need special tyres because their car was much lighter than the Chiron. But, that was last year, and we haven't heard anything since. They seem to be more interested in cumbersome 6x6s than proving that they can actually do it. Probably because… they can't.
There have been countless other small companies threatening a sudden take over of the hypercar niche, but obviously they were exaggerating to try and gather some funding. So who do we look to now? Maybe the current record holders, Koenigsegg?
That's right. The Swedes have returned and this time they're shooting for the 300mph target with their latest car, the Jesko. It's named after Christian von Koenigsegg's father as a thank you to helping him set up the company when he was a wee-22 year old, but before we get to gooey, let's discuss this engine.
It's the Agera's 5.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but now features a flat plane crank that's been lightened by 5kg over the older 90 degree one. This change has changed the exhaust note substantially according to Christian. Adaptive rubber engine mounts are able to absorb the extra vibrations from the new crank, and a 20-litre carbon tank fires jets of air into the turbos at 20 bar to help them spool faster and therefore reduce lag.
Come on then, the big numbers, what are they? 1,262bhp with 95 octane unleaded, and 1,578bhp and 1106lb ft of torque if you use the sweet-smelling E85 biofuel. Horsepower has never smelt so good. However, getting this power to the wheels turned out to be quite the challenge. Their gearboxes couldn't handle the power so, they just made one from scratch.
It can not only handle the power, but it's smaller, lighter (by 90kg), and much smarter than the Chiron's. It's a 9-speed multi-clutch transmission that they've dubbed the Light Speed Gearbox. It has 3 cogs at the front and 7 at the back resulting in 21 different ratios. For this car, they're using two sets of three, with 6 clutches that can select any combination at any time. There you go, breathe, that's difficult to imagine isn't it?
Hold down the left flappy paddle and the car will automatically put you in the best gear for acceleration. Christian calls this feature UPOD, or Ultimate Power on Demand. And because the acceleration of this car is going to be so powerful, they've added another horizontal Triplex damper at the front to stop squatting. It will also counter the extreme downforce on the front of the car.
The carbon tub has been made larger, four-wheel steer added, and it has Koenigsegg's lightest wheel yet weighing only 7.7kg at the rear, and 5.9kg at the front. And if you're looking at the pictures and thinking there's a lot of wings (drag) for a car that's supposed to go very very fast, then you'd be right. This is the high downforce version, which is able to create 800kg of it at 155mph, 1,000kg at 171mph and 1,400kg at its yet-unknown top speed. That's 30% more than the One:1 making it the most downforce-y car from the Swedish company, yet. However, with a weight of 1,400kg, it can't drive upside down (ha bloody ha).
Racey, yes, but it still has all the mod cons inside to make it a mean GT car. Wireless charging, hydraulic struts for the boot, doors and rear clamshell at the push of a button, Apple CarPlay etc. It has it all. It even has a screen that stays upright in the centre of the steering wheel that tells you what's going on. Nifty!
125 of these Jeskos will be built at a rate of 50 per year. And no, we can't afford one. They'll be sold at around $3 million each plus taxes, but next year we could be seeing a hybrid at only $1 million. That's what you call progress.

Recently when I was scrolling Windows, my screen went black and the GPU fans went to the roof. First I got to Windows but now the boot section doesn´t even occur.
If I unplug the GPU from the motherboard and use the integrated it works fine.
Opened the GPU, cleaned it and replaced old thermal paste.
Checked temp and volt in HW Monitor when I was able to enter Windows before crash.
Tried the GPU in my girlfriends computer and it turned out to do the same. When I removed my bad card and plugged in her card again it also made the same noise and wouldn´t boot again.
So now her GPU only works in another PCI-E port, it was like my card blew something in the slot.
Have anyone stumbled on a similar problem? Maybe I shouldn´t try and use that card anymore and get a new one!
Never come across that problem, looks like that card's dead and will kill other mobos it comes across!! Bin it or RMA it!! feel sorry for GF!!!
Yeah lucky I am about to buy new motherboard etc for her anyway. Will throw that bad card away :O Thank you for the reply!

Q: NullPointerException and BufferedReader my program keeps throwing nullPointerException at me and I have no idea why. I thought maybe it's because of the bufferedReader but I'm not sure.
String line = reader.readLine();
while (!line.isEmpty()) {
    line = repairLine(line);
    tree.add(line);
    line = reader.readLine();
}

Yes, it is wrapped in try - catch block. It says that the problem is on the while-line. It didn't work with "if (line != null)". I really don't know what could cause that. Thanks you for any help.

A: The problem seems to be with the following lines of your code :
String line = reader.readLine();
while (!line.isEmpty()) {

}

If there is nothing to read from the file, line will be null. Thus the exception in the while loop. You are trying to call a method on a null reference.
That being said, the traditional way of reading lines from a file is to assign the line read to a variable in the while condition itself (code not tested) :
String line = "";
while ((line=reader.readLine()!=null) && !line.isEmpty()) {
    line = repairLine(line);
    tree.add(line);
}

A: I have had this same error and it meant that the socket is closing on the other connected client while it is trying to read on the server.
To add some context, I am running a server and various clients are connecting to it via java sockets. I was having this error on the server side when the client closes the socket.
So to solve the issue I decided to close both server side and client side sockets after every connection. The way I have done this is before client is closed it sends a "quit" message to the server before closing its sockets. When the server reads the "quit" message it will also close its sockets.
For example:

*

*Client side

if(Quit){
   if(mySocket != null && !mySocket.isClosed()) {
        output.println("quit");
        output.flush();

        try {
            mySocket.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Close net variables exception - " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

*

*Server side

String line = input.readLine(); //Thread stops here untill it reads something

if(line.equals("something")){
   do_something();
else if(line.equals("quit")){
   try {
        mySocket.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.out.println("Close net variables exception - " + e.getMessage());
    }
else{
   do_default();
}

Worked for me, hope it helps!

HPC SNAPs Up Another Opportunity To Serve
ED MARONEY PHOTO
ORLEANS — In the midst of a pandemic, the Homeless Prevention Council has found another way to connect people in need to resources. As of Oct. 1, the Orleans-based agency is the Lower and Outer Cape outreach partner with the state for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
"We are certainly thrilled about SNAP," HPC CEO Hadley Luddy said in an interview this week. "We have always helped people with SNAP and fuel assistance applications. Being certified allows us a direct line into the (state) department of transitional assistance (to) log in as your representative and figure out problems (and) get food as quickly as possible."
As a partner, HPC will also spread the word about SNAP benefits, which help qualified families and individuals buy groceries. "The SNAP outreach program allows our case workers to share more information with potential participants," Luddy said. "We're hoping to see that connection with our work to encourage more people to ask for help. We want people to reach out to HPC sooner rather than later."
The organization helps people who are homeless and many more who are threatened by homelessness. "A lot of people see 'homeless' in our name and don't reach out until they're in that place," said Luddy. "The reality is we can do so much around the prevention piece. The sooner people connect when they're dealing with financial instability," the sooner HPC can provide links to resources.
"People are asking for guidance around getting financial assistance," Luddy said, "who to go to first. We do a lot of work orienting people to resources that are most impactful. We hope people in need come to HPC as a starting point. We're able to determine, looking at all the resources and agencies, where somebody should go next."
HPC's case managers, one of whom speaks Spanish, can "put the puzzle pieces together," said Luddy. "We can point people toward the financial resources that best match their situation, connecting with Lower Cape Outreach, St. Vincent de Paul, Housing Assistance Corporation," among others. "We're with them every step of the way, A to Z, from start to finish. We'll work with you until your situation is addressed, resolved, or you have enough information for a concrete plan. That can take weeks, months. There are folks that have worked with us for years."
The problems HPC helps solve include "housing insecurity, potentially not being able to pay the rent and mortgage," Luddy said, "and other looming issues including credit, insurance costs, car repairs. People don't know which bill to pay first. We go through a budgeting exercise to determine where the funds are going. We can look at the long term, and long-term support."
HPC, whose services are free, has been helping people for many years. Founded in 1991 as the Interfaith Council for the Homeless by a group of volunteers and faith-based organizations, the organization has worked with people to address financial insecurity and help year-round residents keep their homes.
Although most who contact the organization have low or moderate incomes, "we don't have any restrictions," Luddy said. "We've had people reach out, certainly in the pandemic, who may have a high-paying job or own property of significant value. Something major may have happened to them." During non-pandemic times, case managers keep regular weekly hours at a number of community sites in Provincetown, Harwich, and elsewhere. HPC has always had an open door policy, according to Luddy, and that extends to working with people dealing with challenges related to substance abuse issues. "Folks might have a situation that improves significantly, then goes downhill," she said, referring to mental health challenges.
Supported by grants and donations, HPC finds other ways to involve the community in helping neighbors in need. There's the Adopt a Family program at Christmastime that matches several hundred families with donors that supply everything from clothing needs for children to the wrapping paper to put under the tree. The Backpack-to-School program ensures that youngsters have a backpack and school supplies every September. Between the two programs, 457 children from 217 families were aided last year. The total number of clients for 2019 was 1,622.
HPC's new REACH (Resiliency Empowerment Achievement and Hope) program represents another step toward ensuring stability for Cape Codders. Clients who "are just about financially secure, doing fairly well, and are making critical decisions about their future," Luddy said, are invited to make a four-month commitment to the program that focuses on empowerment, mindfulness, and individual coaching. "They set a goal, something they always aspired to," and the organization provides a matching financial stipend. Last year, a client used her funds to sign up for a veterinary tech program and get a computer and printer.
Beyond helping to find homes for clients and help them hold on to them, HPC "is a voice in the community," Luddy said, to encourage property owners to offer affordable rents and to press for development of more affordable housing. The organization works with colleagues such as the Community Development Partnership and Cape Cod Children's Place around issues affecting low- to moderate-income families and individuals.
Program Director Maggi Flanagan said since the pandemic hit in March through this August, HPC's caseload has gone up 71 percent. But rather than focus on the numbers, she shared a story of helping a family that had to find another place to live when the Truro Motor Inn had to close. "This is somebody who doesn't have a vehicle but needs to be able to get to work, and also be available for the kids when they're out of school or after-school programs," she said.
"Eventually, they were able to get into an affordable housing unit in their community, Truro. The kids are able to stay in the same school and (the parent) is maintaining a year-round job. What's kept Flanagan at the Homeless Prevention Council for 20 years? "The mission," she said. "It serves the community I live in."

What to do with the beta-structures?
The problem of protein folding is a very interesting challenge for molecular mechanics. First, proteins are large and complex molecules with a large number of degrees of freedom. There is no hope to cycle through all possible conformations of the protein, even of medium size. It's interesting that the problem is not only in a lack of computer power. In nature, an exhaustive search is also impossible because of the astronomical number of possible conformations. The situation is called a Levinthal's paradox. But the protein somehow folds. Therefore, protein makes it not by an exhaustive search of all conformations but it finds some special way. It has been suggested that proteins have exactly those sequences that ensure the availability of these special ways for fast folding. This "fast" folding may take a second or more, which is beyond the capabilities of simulations on modern computers. Second, the energy gain of the natural conformation, compared with the "wrong" folded, is very small. This is a very serious challenge to the accuracy of the force field. In general, the problem seems hopelessly complicated. And instead of solving it directly, mimicking the natural process of folding, people use various workarounds. For example, deduce the structure of a new protein by analogy with the known.
It is interesting that direct protein folding using molecular dynamics still possible. Moreover, it can be done using force fields of 80 years of the last century, for example in the OPLS force field using the implicit water model (Generalized Born). Within a few nanoseconds of molecular dynamics at 350 K, a small protein «tryptophan cage» takes a very close to the experimentally determined conformation (http://www.biomolecular-modeling.com/Abalone/Protein-folding.html). Interestingly, in experimental conditions, the protein folds in 4 microseconds. Molecular dynamics makes it a 1000 times faster! The situation seemed hopeless suddenly turns into a very upbeat. How can this be? The first thing that comes to mind is the assumption that the water prevents the rapid protein folding. Indeed, calculations in explicit water in the AMBER demonstrate folding rate close to the experimental one. Secondly, the OPLS force field has been optimized to reproduce thermodynamic properties of fluids. It seems that it gives so good force's balance between protein residues that this is sufficient to identify the preferred conformation of the protein. Third, Trp-Cage is the alpha-protein. Most of the current force fields favor the formation of alpha but not the beta structure. This alpha preference is well-known for the AMBER94 force field and for the Generalized Born model. Indeed, in the AMBER94 Trp-Cage quickly reaches the native conformation. In the AMBER96, which is optimized for beta-structure, we were unable to fold it.
The simplest approach is to use the preferred beta-conformation force fields such as AMBER96. Given that the Generalized Born model is considered as favorable for the alpha conformation, one can expect that their combination gives a kind of compromise, more or less suitable for both alpha and beta structures. This approach is used, and on this basis was folded several alpha and beta proteins. But it is clear that this is a very rough approach. As already mentioned, we could not be able to obtain the native structure of Trp-Cage. We need force fields sufficiently accurate to describe all the conformation. A more recent version the AMBER99 superior to AMBER96, but it is still mentioned as favorable to the alpha conformation. In order to balance the alpha-beta conformational preference several modifications of this force field were published. In the AMBER99SB version we were able to fold as alpha as well as beta structures under the same conditions. For this we have had to use not a molecular dynamics at constant temperature but the Replica exchange method. Obtaining the Trp-Cage native conformation requires an order longer simulation than it was in the AMBER94. 10-membered polypeptide Chignolin also obtains its native conformation of beta-hairpins in a few tens of nanoseconds.
Build the Chignolin sequence (GYDPETGTWG). Choose an AMBER99SB field of force and Generalized Born water model. Eliminate the overlap of the atoms. Copy the six replicas in the temperature range from 273.15 to 400 K.
5 ns per replica (a total of 30 ns). The calculation takes about a day on a single processor core. The figure shows a typical set of conformations: one or two beta-hairpins at low temperatures and a variety of conformations at higher temperatures. Elements of the alpha helix are rare.
So in principle it's possible to fold the protein domains using the molecular dynamics method. In the case of small polypeptides, this process can proceed quickly, in just a day on a personal computer. To the success important a good choice of the force field (we recommend AMBER99SB and OPLS), an implicit consideration of water (Generalized Born method) and the protocol allows, on the one hand, sufficient long-term simulations, on the other, providing overcome of the local minima. As such, we use the Replica Exchange in the 273-400 K temperature range. For the smallest proteins six replicas are sufficient. Unfortunately, with increasing size of the protein a greater number of replicas require.

Q: How to start Mountebank in Docker? How can I use Docker to start Mountebank as a server? I am following this tutorial but I can't make it work.
This error appears:
warn: [mb:2525] dry running injection, use the isDryRun request field in your JavaScript to ignore...
error: [mb:2525] injection X=> SyntaxError: Unexpected token e
error: [mb:2525]     source: "(function(request, logger) { return JSON.parse(request.data).hasOwnProperty('state'); })(scope, logger);"
error: [mb:2525]     scope: {"requestFrom":"","data":"test","isDryRun":true}

The project is open source and CI is Travis. I have cross-posted this discussion to the Mountebank mailing list.

A: The problem appears to be that the base Docker image is using an old version of mountebank (v1.2.122).  I'm not super familiar with Docker, but I assume it's caching the image originally built by Conrad.  Your config file works fine with the latest version of mountebank; that just needs to be installed in the Docker container. - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mountebank-discuss/m-UrVZBR1sQ

What Kids Want in 2020: The View From London Toy Fair
TAGS: Industry News London Toy Fair
The Toy Fair, held in London's Olympia venue, opened its doors Tuesday to welcome a toy industry on the hunt for new innovations across the U.K. kids' space. License Global took to the show floor to identify the first hints of emerging industry trends for 2020.
Ben Roberts | Jan 22, 2020
Sustainability Is Still Top of Mind
The topic on everyone's mind is the eco-neutral or ecofriendly shift each business spanning all global industries must take. Toy ranges at the show – such as the Keeleco plush ranges, Geomag construction sets, Solar Powered Rovers, Green Science Electro Torch and A.B.Gee's wooden Noah's Ark play sets – proudly boast using 100 percent sustainable materials.
"We have seen the power our BBC natural history documentaries have had in raising mass awareness of plastic pollution and our brand BBC Earth is seen as both an educator and inspiration for people concerned about the health of our planet," says Rikesh Desai, director, licensing, consumer products, BBC Studios. "Sustainability is now fast becoming a way of life. More consumers than ever before are making an effort to buy greener, healthier, ethically sourced and more environmentally sustainable products, which is a great step forward. I believe the licensing industry must work together adopt a deliberate and ambitious approach toward forging a sustainable future for our consumers by coming together to help bring more eco-friendly products to market."
Outside of the products with an ecofriendly makeup on display, a few key brands also proudly presented the complete removal of plastics in their packaging. Playmobil's new lines, for example, include recyclable carboard packaging that herald back to the golden age of toys. Trust us, the ultra-cool VHS-style boxes for "Back to the Future" Playmobil sets, or the unboxing-inspired Everdreamerz cardboard sets are well worth a look.
Wooden Toys Get a Brand Licensing Makeover
The renaissance of traditional wooden toys is not only in high demand from retailers and consumers alike, but tick a big sustainability box for licensees. Hugely popular in the preschool market and displayed across the show, wooden toys may have a tricky price-point obstacle to tackle, but the market is nonetheless growing.
"It's becoming bigger," says Gary Tyrer, managing director, 8th Wonder Toys. "I think everyone is waking up to the fact that it's a joint effort to get rid of packaging and reduce plastic. I think you've got to advertise what we're doing and educate; a lot of retailers are pushing to make a difference."
8th Wonder Toys licenses characters from "Mr. Tumble," "Bing!" and "Hey Duggee" to bring quality and longevity to the preschool market in the form of wooden toys.
Retro Isn't Just for Brands, But for Play Styles, Too
Brands like Revell, Technik, Scalextric, Hornby Hobbies and Subbuteo were just a few of the big U.K. names making a splash at the show. This revival of retro brands and play styles is making an impact with consumers, as parents and kids look to spend more time together. This is propping up a new wave of interest in the construction, crafts and hobby markets, with historic and modern brands alike joining the fold including "World of Tanks" and "Star Wars" as just a few of the licenses on display.
On the other side of the "what's old is new" revival is the modern brand-driven toys providing a new twist on traditional activities such as knitting or baking. Nadiya Hussain children's bake kits are an ideal example, bringing families together, building life skills and moving away from the enhanced digitization of toys and kids' activities. Hussain herself was on the show floor to launch the sets with licensee Wilton Bradley, noting how these products are meant to stay in the kitchen and not in the toy box. Arts and crafts were on huge display across the show as well, bringing tie-dye, aqua painting, role play and construction kits to the show to build up a bigger picture of what's on offer for kids this year.
Board Games Are Getting Bigger
Thrifty, eco-driven consumers who want to spend quality time with friends and family are driving the huge rise in the board game market. Major players like "Monopoly's" widely diverse licensed range, "Risk's" multiverse of licensed landscapes or "Top Trump's" huge library were backed by an ocean of newcomers, such as "Cyanide" and "Happiness'" new card game, as well as games based on Netflix's "Stranger Things," "Los Casa Del Papel" and Endemol Shine's "Peaky Blinders." These newcomers were proudly showcased beside future classics such as "Settlers of Catan" and "Cards Against Humanity."
"The global playing cards and board games market size is anticipated to reach $21.56 billion by 2025," says a report by Grand View Research. "It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7 percent during the forecast period. Growing popularity of traditional recreational activities among the younger generation is projected to drive the market. Rising preference of Millennials for old school games during social gatherings is expected to further fuel the growth. Increasing resurgence of retro games is projected to drive the market growth." With games like "Settlers of Catan" introducing new players to the market through new game mechanics and creating cult followings and communities, it's no surprise board games took over The Toy Fair in London.
Aspirational Toys Are Bubbling Away
From Bosch-branded work decks, drills and Flyer mowers for kids to coding and design-led products, aspirational play is getting better and bubbling away in the background as a growing trend. While it's nothing new, the best examples driving creative curiosity is Bandai Namco's established Harumika range, which allows children to work with miniature fashion mannequins to create and design elegant new fashion ranges with their own signature. STEAM learning is also in big demand at the show, with science kits, compound textures, materials and tactile learning, interactive games and the AR, coding and digitally enhanced play that is growing across the kids' space thanks to the normalization of tablets and mobile devices.
In addition to Spin Master's Batmobile in Gotham City Café and the ocean of "Bing!" "Hey Duggee," "Waffle Doggy," "Mr. Tumble," "Peter Rabbit" and "In the Night Garden"-branded products, The Toy Fair in London didn't necessarily offer up any groundbreaking trends, but rather, cast a spotlight on one of the major new trends for 2020: content and the leadership of high-quality storytelling. After all, "it's not innovation in products, it's innovation in brands" that will lead the way this year, according to BBC Studios' Rikesh Desai.
With two more toy fairs – Nuremberg and New York – still to come and trend breakdowns with leading analysts and licensors on the way, License Global looks forward to bringing you more trends as the 2020 ball gets rolling.

Why Create a Stunning Funny Neon Signs for Your Home Or Business
LED outdoor neon signs are a modern alternative to traditional neon signs that have been popular for decades. Instead of using neon gas inside glass tubes to create a glowing effect, LED neon signs use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to produce a similar effect.
One of the main benefits of LED neon signs is their energy efficiency. LED lights use significantly less electricity than traditional neon signs, which can result in lower energy costs for businesses. They are also longer-lasting and require less maintenance, as they do not have the same issues with neon gas leakage or breakage of the glass tubes.
In addition to their energy efficiency, LED neon signs are also more flexible and customizable than traditional neon signs. They can be easily cut and bent into various shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. They are also available in a variety of colors, which can be changed or programmed to display different patterns or effects.
Another advantage of LED neon signs is their durability. They are resistant to water, moisture, and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for outdoor use. They are also much lighter in weight than traditional neon signs, which makes them easier to install and transport.
However, there are also some potential drawbacks to using LED neon signs. One issue is their upfront cost, which can be higher than traditional neon signs. In addition, some people may prefer the classic look and feel of traditional neon signs, which may not be achievable with LED neon signs.
Despite these limitations, LED neon signs are becoming increasingly popular for outdoor advertising and decor due to their energy efficiency, customization options, and durability. They are a modern and cost-effective alternative to traditional neon signs that can help businesses to stand out and attract attention.


See Portovenere, Lerici and the picturesque islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto.
Leaving from La Spezia train station, where you will meet your private guide for the day, you will get on a private taxi to reach the beautiful village of Lerici, one of the places in Cinque Terre that the Shelleys loved the most. In Lerici, after seeing the famous Shelley's house, you will board a ferry boat until you arrive to the picturesque village of Portovenere.
Once there, you will start a proper boat tour to see the islands of the Poet's Gulf, such as Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto. These islands are also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
You will have some time to explore the islands with your guide (you will decide together how much time to dedicate to each island, where to eat and so on).
You will discover why poets and writers from all generations and nationalities - but especially the poets from the English Romanticism - were fascinated by these places. Byron, Shelley, Virginia Woolf, DH Lawrence, all have dedicated poems and thoughts in this stretch of the Ligurian coast, so rugged and sometimes inaccessible.
At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to La Spezia train station, where the tour ends.
Meet your guide at the taxi area outside the train station.

WHEN IS A CORONER NEEDED? WHAT ABOUT AN AUTOPSY?
People with older parents often hire caretakers, or "personal attendants," to provide home-based care for their parents. Though many people hire personal attendants as "independent contractors," in general the law considers personal attendants employees rather than independent contractors. This means that when hiring a personal attendant, it is important to understand applicable wage and hour laws and ensure that standard deductions are made from the personal attendant's paycheck.
Personal attendants must be paid the minimum wage, (which is currently $8.00 an hour), but are otherwise exempt from most wage and hour laws, including laws requiring the payment of overtime. A personal attendant can therefore work more than eight hours in a workday, or more than 40 hours in a workweek, and need not be paid overtime wages. Furthermore, rules requiring meal or rest periods are inapplicable to personal attendants and an employer cannot be penalized for failing to provide meal or rest periods to a personal attendant.
But to fall within the scope of the personal attendant exemption, the personal attendant must spend the vast majority of his or her time performing "personal attendant" duties. Those duties are similar to the duties of a babysitter and include "supervising, feeding, or dressing" a person who by reason of advanced age or physical or mental deficiency needs supervision. The California Labor Commissioner has indicated that personal attendant duties are strictly limited to "supervising, feeding, or dressing" and do not include cooking, cleaning, laundering, shopping, or any other duties outside of supervising, feeding or dressing. A personal attendant may dedicate some time to performing non-personal attendant duties, but if the personal attendant spends more than 20 percent of his or her time performing non-personal attendant duties, the exemption is lost and overtime must be paid.
Additionally, the personal attendant exemption will be lost if the personal attendant engages in nursing activities on a regular basis. According to the Labor Commissioner, a household employee who regularly provides medications, takes temperatures, or measures blood pressure, regardless of the amount of time spent performing such duties, will be considered a nurse rather than a personal attendant and must be paid overtime.
The personal attendant exemption represents a significant exception to the general rule that non-management employees must receive overtime wages and makes it less costly to obtain home-based care for disabled family members. But to receive the benefits of the personal attendant exemption, great care must be taken to ensure that the duties of the personal attendant remain those of a personal attendant rather than those of a cook, housecleaner, or nurse.
Additional information regarding personal attendants may be obtained from the California Division of Labor Standards and Enforcement website located at www.dir.ca.gov/dlse.

The First Map of London
Fine example of this important early bird's-eye view of London, which appeared in Volume 1 of Braun & Hogenberg's Civitates Orbis Terrarum.
The view was based on a now-lost twenty-sheet plan of London believed to have been made between 1547 and 1559. Tudor London with its suburbs now extends outside the city walls. At the heart of the city is St. Paul's cathedral with its tall spire, which was destroyed in 1561. The gardens of the manor houses and palaces stretch out in the direction of Charing Cross, linking the mercantile city with the royal court at Westminster. Across the Thames, spanned by the magnificent London Bridge, Southwark is depicted along with the bull/bear baiting rings, immensely popular sports during the Elizabethan era. The river is teeming with ships and a variety of boats.
The two panels of text, which flank the costumed figures in the foreground, describe the vibrant economy of London.

Georg Braun Biography
Georg Braun (1541-1622) was born and died in Cologne. His primary vocation was as Catholic cleric; he spent thirty-seven years as canon and dean at the church St. Maria ad Gradus, in Cologne. Braun was the chief editor of the Civitates orbis terrarum, the greatest book of town views ever published. His job entailed hiring artists, acquiring source material for the maps and views, and writing the text. In this role, he was assisted by Abraham Ortelius. Braun lived into his 80s, and he was the only member of the original team to witness the publication of the sixth volume in 1617.
Frans Hogenberg Biography
Frans Hogenberg (ca. 1540-ca. 1590) was a Flemish and German engraver and mapmaker who also painted. He was born in Mechelen, south of Antwerp, the son of wood engraver and etcher Nicolas Hogenberg. Together with his father, brother (Remigius), uncle, and cousins, Frans was one member of a prominent artistic family in the Netherlands.
During the 1550s, Frans worked in Antwerp with the famous mapmaker Abraham Ortelius. There, he engraved the maps for Ortelius' groundbreaking first atlas, published in Antwerp in 1570, along with Johannes van Deotecum and Ambrosius and Ferdinand Arsenius. It is suspected he engraved the title page as well. Later, Ortelius supported Hogenberg with information for a different project, the Civitates orbis terrarium (edited by Georg Braun, engraved by Hogenberg, published in six volumes, Cologne, 1572-1617). Hogenberg engraved the majority of the work's 546 prospects and views.
It is possible that Frans spent some time in England while fleeing from religious persecution, but he was living and working in Cologne by 1580. That is the city where he died around 1590. In addition to his maps, he is known for his historical allegories and portraits. His brother, Remigius, also went on to some fame as an engraver, and he died around the same time as his brother.

COMMENTARY: Much is made in Christendom of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, despite the rather obvious logical problems with the story. But hey, as long as we are going to suspend disbelief about the rest of the Christianity myth, who cares about details like the ability of an immortal god to die or resurrect, let alone the idea that a deity brilliant enough to conceive and command all of creation has trouble with simple math. I mean, just as long as you can feel his love in your heart, the rest of it just has to be true, right? If you're Christian, I guess the important thing is to have faith, not critical thinking skills. But what do I know? I'm just another apostate.
I pray for your hard heart. It's obvious you have some deep seeded hate and hurts in your heart.
Jesus either can't do math or knowingly misrepresented the facts.
Jesus is perfect, so the problem can't be with him.
Therefore, I must be a terrible person.
