Your Lie in April – Season 1
Kousei Arima was a child prodigy on the piano, until the sudden death of his mother took away his ability to play. His days become dull and lack meaning until he meets a young violinist by the name of Kaori Miyazono, whose eccentric was of playing has gotten her attention in the classical music circle. By this chance meeting, Kousei's monotonous life is about to undergo some drastic changes.
There's nothing particularly complex about the way Your Lie in April starts – Kousei has a complicated relationship with music and the piano. He was forcibly made to study it day and night by his ill, yet controlling mother who is trying to live her musical career through her young son. Years later, after his mother has passed away and Kousei is living his life in shades of grey, he meets Kaori by happenstance – meeting her through a friend of a friend. Their history in music means that they become friends immediately.
Through Kaori's carefree attitude and her ability to convey her emotions through her playing, Kousei realises that there still might be something of a pianist left within him. But how will he be able to overcome his handicap? Every time he starts playing the piano, he stops hearing the notes – it's like playing underwater to him. Slowly but surely, using unconventional methods, Kaori begins to show him what playing music really should be like, and tries to help Kousei realise that music is very much a part of him and should be embraced, not left to gather dust in his mother's old music room. At the same time, Kaori is a little troubled by the bold way in which she plays the violin and interprets classical pieces. She always gets attention from the audience, but doesn't have much recognition when it comes to her peers and her elders, who disapprove of the way she puts her own spin on pieces. She's unsure of herself in the classical music sphere, and wonders if she is doing something detrimental to her career in classical music.
I've never watched something like Your Lie in April before. I've seen other reviewers make their comparisons, but this is completely new to me, and I feel like I'm looking at it with a fresh pair of eyes. There is a certain pastoral quality in the settings and background of this anime that is quite unique. Kaori and Kousei are two very real, very endearing characters. It took me a little while to see where the plot was going, but once I understood I was always looking forward to more.
The music auditions and competitions are an absolute delight. Listening to the elongated pieces of classical piano and violin are a real treat. What I know about classical music couldn't fill a thimble, but it never made me feel disengaged. In fact, it had me interested in the different pieces and who composed them. It's very well set up so that everything about this anime seems centred around music. Like I said earlier, the pastel colours and softness of the surroundings is a great compliment, and the more Kousei plays the piano, the more of his character becomes unveiled to the audience.
Whilst we are learning more about Kousei's past relationship with the piano and his mother, we are also beginning to see where the music is taking him as well as his personality finally coming to the forefront. The music also brings new elements out of the sub-characters, seeing Tsubaki, Kousei's childhood friend, realise that she is in love with him, as well as Kousei's musical peers, Takeshi and Emi, and what drives them to excel at the piano and to compete to be the very best. It feels as if the viewer is looking into the past as well as the future, their playing of the piano, the songs they select, are very fitting as themes for their character.
Through the pieces that are played, we see very slow and deliberate revelations all around. It's just fantastic to watch on several levels. Music is a very powerful weapon here, and is wielded well throughout to bring extra impact to some very moving scenes. It's full of subtle nuances that give more depth to characters and story lines – gorgeous facial expressions and movement to music. It brings just the right amount of romance to the plot without turning everything into a typical teenage coming-of-age/romance story.
I did not expect to enjoy Your Lie in April as much as I did. It quickly became one of my favourites of the season and, for those of you that haven't already taken a look – I strongly suggest that you do.

"We want to grow our communities and support the folks that live within them—that includes houseless folks," says Native American Youth and Family Center Manager Allyssa Casad. From Jackson County to Portland, unsheltered and chronic homeless populations continue to climb along with housing costs. Oregon ranks number one in the nation for the highest rate of unsheltered homeless families.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic spurred the creation of city-sanctioned houseless camps and new policies to pause camp sweeps, establish accessible restrooms, and fund the renovation of motels into emergency housing. With the end of the pandemic possibly in sight and many wondering what will come after, I asked four leaders who work on housing and homelessness to share their insights about how the state can better serve its unhoused residents.
Kaia Sand
Kaia Sand is the executive director of the Portland newspaper Street Roots and co-founder of the Right 2 Survive Ambassador Program. She formerly worked as a poet, magician, community organizer, and university professor.
I've been thinking a lot about what it looks like to imagine our city in a way that is hospitable to and designed for the poorest people. I think too often it's in our policies—we're sort of fighting the wrong things. You know, like park policies that exclude people who are unhoused instead of actually designing parks that are completely hospitable to the poorest people. How do we design a society in which baths, toilets, and sinks are accessible so that both unhoused and housed people can benefit?
We want more unhoused people to inform policy. Pre-pandemic, if you wanted to testify at City Hall, you had to go through a metal detector. If you're carrying everything you own, there's something that's metal in there. So in other words, people really don't have access to these civic spaces, which are often designed in ways that make unhoused people feel like the unwelcome guest.
During the pandemic, people have been coming to testify before City Hall from our office at Street Roots, which is a more comfortable space. Some people have testified from their tents using their phones. There are so many things with the pandemic that as we look ahead, it's like, what transformations do we want to just lean into and push more? It's really hard work, but we all have to be committed and help each other to build this more just future.
Chad McComas
Chad McComas is the executive director of Rogue Retreat, a homeless nonprofit in Medford that includes Southern Oregon's first gated tiny house community. He's also served as the board chair of the Addictions Recovery Center and as a pastor.
I'm seeing communities in Southern Oregon becoming more aware they need to address the homeless problem. In Jackson County, before the fires, we were four thousand units short of what we needed. We just lost 2,500 homes in the fires, and there's only about one hundred affordable places built every year. Because of this and COVID, our state put money out there to buy motels to turn them into long-term housing. I think COVID has forced us to find new solutions. We're going to learn from this and in the next ten years, I think we're going to see a lot of these old hotels turned into apartments.
We're also going to see a tsunami of homelessness soon when more of our seniors retire and try to live on social security. We have people who worked forty years, faithful workers who did a great job. They get social security, but they get maybe $800 a month. When you compare that with what it costs to rent an apartment in Oregon—the average one-bedroom apartment is $950—where are they going to live? We're going to have to create affordable housing through tiny houses, shipping container apartments, pallet structures, and every method we can.
If I could change one thing, it would be HUD housing. Section 8 vouchers are wonderful, but the big flaw is if you make one more dollar above a certain line of income, you lose all your housing, medical, and food subsidies. I think HUD needs a graduated scale where if you make another dollar, you might lose a bit of subsidies, but you're encouraged to work forty hours a week instead of twenty. This way, as you're learning how to be more productive, you're not penalized. We teach our people here that life begins above the HUD line. It's scary, but that's when you can actually be free.
Cristina Palacios
Cristina Palacios is the Housing Justice Program director at Unite Oregon, where she particularly enjoys serving people of color, immigrants, and the Latino community. She is driven by the belief that everyone—regardless of income, disability, race or immigration status—deserves a safe place to call home.
Many immigrants or refugees, they tend to double up in someone's home, and sometimes they don't consider themselves homeless. We need to invite housing providers and leaders from the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) community to explore what homelessness looks like for them. We also need to do outreach in the years to come to make sure that BIPOC understand what affordable housing is, where to find it, and how to keep it.
Another issue is that we don't have culturally specific homeless shelters. I was working with an immigrant recently who was experiencing domestic violence and ended up living in their car. They had a job but couldn't afford housing because wages are so low. After several weeks, they found shelter, but they didn't feel welcome because there was no one that looked like them or spoke their language. This person was also in crisis mode, and it took us three days to find someone to do a free mental health consultation.
Right now, shelters might not have integrated mental health systems, which are expensive and a lot of times not accessible, especially to BIPOC communities—practitioners are not culturally competent and not enough of them look like us. Many people also lack health care coverage. If they qualify, they qualify for the very minimum. We know that homelessness and mental health usually go hand in hand. That's a big issue that we should work on in the years to come if we want to be serious about ending homelessness.
Allyssa Casad
Allyssa Casad is a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and is currently the direct service manager at the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA). Allyssa received her master of social work at Portland State University and is a clinical social work associate and oversees NAYA's Homeless Youth Continuum program and Gang Outreach and Prevention programs.
Housing for Indigenous people can look different because our community is intergenerational. Families want to live together—grandma, mom, children—but it's almost impossible to get a whole family on a lease. We have a lot of community members who have evictions on their record because they didn't have folks on their lease. So, in addition to funding for rental assistance, NAYA has multiple properties for Indigenous folks that we're focusing on to make sure that our families can be housed in a community setting.
We also need more funding for resources like legal aid, which is something that the youth continuum hasn't had a lot of access to. We have kids who received a felony or have previous housing debt from when they were eighteen, and they still have to continue living in their cars. We know the brain's not fully developed until you're twenty-six, and there's a lot of change that happens. A lot of these youth are so ready to go to school, have a job, get housed, and start fresh.
We need to have conversations about supporting these folks in reintegrating within our neighborhoods, churches, families, and schools. Is it by donating to local nonprofits? Is it by volunteering at churches? I don't think there's a lot of conversations like, What can we do as a neighborhood to support this? I think it's a lot of, Well, whose job is it to fix these issues? To me, it's all of our jobs.

this content largely refers to the 2018 edtion and remains here for information purposes.
Each October, we will celebrate European Cyber Security Month (ECSM), an EU initiative launched in October 2012 by by the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA), the European Commission's DG CONNECT and partners. It aims to generate general awareness about cybersecurity, more specifically on Network and Information Security (NIS), and to promote safer use of the internet for all users by involving all relevant stakeholders.
This campaign is in line with the EU's Cybersecurity Strategy (An Open, Safe and Secure Cyberspace), which was published jointly by the European Commission and the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy in 2013, and aims to clarify the principles that should guide cybersecurity policy in the EU and internationally.
During this week, the public will discover daily routines and checks they can establish to stay safe online.
This theme aims to explore the opportunities offered by new technologies to citizens and organisations.
This week will be dedicated to teaching the public how to identify deceiving content in order to keep both themselves and their finances safe online.
This theme focuses on new technologies and their potential impact on users' privacy and online safety.
ECSM is highly relevant to Better Internet for Kids (BIK) activities because advancing cybersecurity skills and education of younger generations is important for keeping them safe online. It helps them develop routine cyber hygiene practices, which they can then transfer to others and use to protect society. Nurturing cybersecurity skills helps children and young people defend themselves online, enabling them to become more resilient, self-reliant and confident – all strong positive qualities for an inspiring future generation.
To celebrate ECSM, the BIK team has worked with ENISA and DG CONNECT to produce learning modules as part of the #SaferInternet4EU campaign. To learn more about this initiative, read our article on it.
For more information, including a map of the activities taking place in the framework of ECSM, visit the cybersecuritymonth.eu website and read the ENISA press release. You can also follow the activities throughout the month on Twitter @CyberSecMonth and using the hashtag #CyberSecMonth.

Q: Encoding and Decoding of text in Python I am currently working with a python script (appengine) that takes an input from the user (text) and stores it in the database for re-distribution later.
The text that comes in is unknown, in terms of encoding and I need to have it encoded only once.
Example Texts from clients:

*

*This%20is%20a%20test

*This is a test

Now in python what I thought I could do is decode it then encode it so both samples become:

*

*This%20is%20a%20test

*This%20is%20a%20test

The code that I am using is as follows:
#
# Dencode as UTF-8
#
pl = pl.encode('UTF-8')

#
#Unquote the string, then requote to assure encoding
#
pl = urllib.quote(urllib.unquote(pl))

Where pl is from the POST parameter for payload.
The Issue
The issue is that sometimes I get special (Chinese, Arabic) type chars and I get the following error.
'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc3' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
    ..snip..
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc3' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

does anyone know the best solution to process the string given the above issue?
Thanks.

A: Replace
pl = pl.encode('UTF-8')

with
pl = pl.decode('UTF-8')

since you're trying to decode a byte-string into a string of characters.
A design issue with Python 2 lets you .encode a bytestring (which is already encoded) by automatically decoding it as ASCII (which is why it apparently works for ASCII strings, failing only for non-ASCII bytes).

The man of God stated this while speaking with journalist on the state of the nation ahead of 2023 election in the country.
According to him, In the past 62 years of independent as a nation, Nigerians have gone through all manners of misfortune, maladministration (poverty, insecurity, joblessness poor health system, banditry and terrorism, economy downtown and great corruption) in the hands of various leaders at various level.
He said, God has been so faithful to the nation by bringing a revival back to all sector of national life even in our own time, adding that, the nation, nigeria have been predestined by God to be a great nation amongst the commity of nation's.
To this end, he said, God has gave him a clear-cut mandate to organize a nationwide National fasting and prayer programme in every state including the FCT and with a warning that, it MUST be done by all citizenry, by bringing people together for prayer to seek for divine intervention for healing the country.

New Malls to Drive Further Retail Growth
By Lance Allan
– The Daily News –
The Metro Memphis retail landscape is about to see major change. Over the next two years, three open-air shopping malls of various sizes and styles will open for business in Shelby and DeSoto counties.
The new malls will deliver more than 2 million square feet of retail space to the market. Once the centers are completed, it might seem that the region couldn't handle much more retail growth.
Development potential: But commercial real estate professionals said the market's potential is strong for the foreseeable future, as the new malls will add opportunities for big-box and small retail growth in their expanding submarkets.
A precursor to the trend was seen in 2004 when, according to CB Richard Ellis 1.3 million square feet of new inventory was added. Much of that was big-box development, such as Kohl's Department Store, Target, Home Depot and Wal-Mart, which added stores throughout Shelby and DeSoto counties.
Supporting space: While it's probably safe to expect a slowdown in development of mega-retail centers following delivery of the three open air malls – The Avenue Carriage Crossing in Collierville and Southaven Towne Center and DeSoto Pointe in Southaven – an overall slowdown is not seen on the horizon.
"What will keep going is all of the support stuff that clusters around the main retail base," said Joel Fulmer of Boyle Investment Co., president of the Memphis Area Association of Realtors' Commercial Council. "The area right around Wolfchase Galleria is a good example. You have Carriage Crossing going in, and then for the next three to five years, you have the smaller retail clusters that pop up in support of it that capitalize off the traffic that those draw. You have little carpet stores and restaurants, the people that are not going to go in the middle of the big development, but want to feed off some of the traffic that will be drawn to the area."
Neighborhood retail: While the amount of retail space in the market saw continued growth last year, that new space was being filled. According to a CBRE fourth quarter Retail Market View, the overall vacancy rate declined to 9.1 percent during the quarter, its lowest level in five quarters.
New retail development in the next few years won't be centered solely around large scale retail development, though. Some of those "little carpet stores and restaurants" Fulmer referred to will open in smaller neighborhood centers.
"That's the stuff we're going to continue to see," said Danny Buring, broker with The Shopping Center Group Inc. "You're going to see more and more people try to get into the business. I've always said Wal-Mart, Kroger, Target and Lowe's all own their own real estate, so where does that put the little guy? It puts them across the street, next door in small centers, so you're going to see more of it."
Attracting newcomers: One factor that could lead to a cool-off in retail development is over saturation.
"It's like picking teams for these kinds of things," Fulmer said. "They're all going to get these majors lined up, then there's going to be a little bit of a cooling-off period while the dust settles. You can only put so much out there at one time."
And that could be an issue facing developments at Germantown and Bellevue parkways, just south of Interstate 40.
"There are only so many players, and most of the majors are already in place up there or they are spoken for," Fulmer said. "There are not as many people to pick from for that general area as there were five years ago. You've got 20 or 25 pretty good sized retailers, and virtually every one of them is already represented in that Germantown and I-40 market. For there to be much more new activity in that area, it's almost going to have to involve new people coming into this market, rather than just people that are already here expanding there. That's a lot harder and a lot slower than it is pulling Dillard's to open up a new store."
Interest rates: The fact that interest rates are expected to see small increases over the next year or two could play a role in whether some retail developments go forward.
"It will have an impact on the developers, but it's not going to have as much an impact." Buring said. "Big picture, it's going to have an impact of 10 cents a foot to the retailer. As far as the developer, it's going to be nickels and dimes."
Fulmer believes projects won't halt as rates inch upward.
"I don't think interest rates will jump up very fast," Fulmer said. "We've always been able to make deals work until rates got up around the 10, 12 percent area. Then they start getting to be more difficult, and we've got a lot of room between here and there. So I don't think interest rates are going to be much of an inhibitor over the next two to three years."

Positives on Global Warming02-02-2016 19:19
shashikiranm
(1) The negative consequences of global warming are well-documented — melting ice caps, rising sea levels, loss of habitat for polar bears and countless other species, mass disruptions and dislocations around the world as formerly habitable areas become unlivable. It sounds like the world's going to become a very unpleasant place to call home if everything that's been predicted comes to pass.
The less-publicized reality of climate change is that some change is likely to be beneficial. Granted, virtually every positive effect has a negative corollary, and sometimes the negative outweighs the positive (territorial disputes over low-lying islands will cease, which is good, but only because the islands will be underwater, which is worse). But it's not all bad. The following list details the top 10 effects of global climate change that could be good for the planet. This may not convince the doomsayers, but should global warming transpire as many scientists predict, it could make waiting for that toasty Armageddon a much more endurable experience.
1.More Usable Land
Climate change could produce more usable land for agriculture.
Presently, vast swaths of the Earth — the northern half of Canada, for instance, and the majority of Russia's land area — aren't suitable for agriculture. As the globe warms, however, high-latitude zones now on the verge of cultivation could become agriculture-friendly. More food for the world's people is certainly a good thing, although it must be acknowledged that climate change could at the same time transform other fragile regions such as sub-Saharan Africa into more of a desert than they are already.
2. Longer Growing Seasons
Longer growing seasons are one possible benefit of global warming.
It's conceivable that the world's current breadbaskets could become even more productive as temperatures warm, increasing yields. Farmers accustomed to one harvest a year may even see two. What's more, a larger variety of crops could be grown in more locations than is currently possible.
3. Extra CO2 For Plants
More CO2 in the atmosphere would be good news for plants.
We humans can only expel carbon dioxide, but plants love it. With heightened levels of CO2 in the atmosphere thanks to a warming globe, plants will have the opportunity to get drunk on the stuff, growing larger and more robust. This in turn would be good news not just for agriculture, but also for the many animal species that depend on plant life (at least those not already threatened by habitat degradation).
4. Northwest Passage Becomes Reality
An ice-free Arctic Ocean could mean good news for shipping companies.
The long-sought shipping lane through Canada's polar regions is already close to being a viable alternative during the summer months. Its existence could mean the world's largest ships, particularly oil tankers too big for the Panama Canal, which have to round the southern tip of South America, would have a much shorter route between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at their disposal.
5. Arctic's Resources Become Accessible
A milder climate could make the Arctic's natural resources more available.
Nobody really knows just how much oil exists in the Arctic, but oil companies and various nations, are moving fast in an effort to find out. Russia is already taking a lead staking claims to promising stretches of international waters that had long been under frozen lock and key. Drilling for Arctic oil, currently not a viable option, could be soon.
6. Less Energy Required For Heating
Credit: Advanced Telemetry
This obvious benefit of warmer winters has yet to come to pass, as recent winters across North America and Europe have actually trended colder than normal in many locales. Whether this is simply a statistical anomaly or a more long-term effect of climate change remains to be seen.
7. Warmer Weather is Healthier
Warmer weather could mean fewer cases of the flu and other cold-weather ailments.
The doomsayers have made much of tropical diseases such as malaria spreading as the globe warms, but cold-weather illnesses like the flu kill more people every year. If warmer winters (when they do finally take hold) mean less time spent indoors in close quarters, where so many contagions are spread, maybe someday flu shots will become a thing of the past.
8. Warmer Weather is Safer
Expect fewer icy roads, and fewer car accidents, in a warming climate.
No more middle-aged men falling down with heart attacks while shoveling snow. No more motorists careening off icy highways. No more kids falling through thin ice, or elderly people freezing in their homes. Wintertime is a dangerous time. Granted, record-breaking heat waves have killed scores of people, especially in northern cities where older buildings aren't equipped for such heat, but those structures are being demolished and replaced daily.
9. People Enjoy Sunny Climates
Climate change could bring more sunny days.
Where do senior citizens go to retire? Cleveland? Not usually. Statistics may not show the residents of Florida to be any happier than people elsewhere, but nobody would complain if they had their weather. However, some scientists believe climate change has thus far led to an increase in extreme conditions, from heat waves and cold spells to snowstorms and flooding, not just warm, sunny days.
10. Increased Interest in Alternative Energy
The threat of climate change has spurred interest in alternative energy.
Fear of global warming has already led many people to look beyond fossil fuels at wind and solar power as possible alternatives for powering our way of life. If climate scientists are to be believed, it will likely be too little, too late. But ironically, such efforts could represent progress toward weaning us from our dependence on foreign oil. A warmer globe leading to energy independence? Even this cloud could have a silver lining.
Hank Samler
(45) Change in and of itself is not bad. The Problem is the rate of change.
If it's too fast, it becomes systems overload. If it changes incrementally like it's been doing since the 1970s, it might be something that might cause a great deal of stress but can be handled by resilient systems.
Human structures are quite often - due to infrastructure and politics - not that resilient. What to do with all the coastal cities if the oceans rise quickly, for instance? See New Orleans..

Good thinking, mainly because eliminating CO2 will achieve nothing.

Flood defenses are built around rivers to keep them from overflowing their banks during heavy flow. They are built around river deltas to keep the accumulating silt from flooding out populated areas. That's pretty much it. It's about rivers, not the sea.
BTW, such defenses were ALWAYS built after the fact, when flooding became a problem in some area. Never before the flooding occurred.

Eliminating CO2 would achieve something. Liberals have brain disease. If they had their way, they would spend 100 quintillion dollars to rocket all CO2 in the air into space. After that, crops all fail and every person on Earth starve to death.
There would be no trees to hug either.
Surface Detail
We know that the trend is upwards from satellite measurements. NASA's Ocean Surface Topography Mission maintains a continuous record of sea surface heights. This graph shows their results to date:
It's from here:
http://sealevel.colorado.edu/content/2015rel4-global-mean-sea-level-time-series-seasonal-signals-retained
You can see the annual rise and fall of sea levels (due to monsoons, ice formation, etc.) superimposed on a long-term upward trend. Worthy of note is 2011, when a strong La Nina caused widespread flooding across Australia, with so much water shifted on to land that the sea level fell temporarily by a measurable amount.
(1323) Indeed the hint that sea levels would rise gave an invitation for the sort of pataphysics that regulars of this board have come to know and love.
Surface Detail wrote: We know that the trend is upwards from satellite measurements.
We know that you are gullible. There is no way to accurately measure the earth's ocean level.
You should be able to convince yourself.
1) There is no point on the ocean's surface that is not constantly in waves that you know can reach heights of many meters, much less a point that is somehow fixed at "sea level."
2) Not even an entire constellation of dedicated GPS satellites can render an accurate distance of much less than a meter (Pilots never rely on GPS as an altimeter or to land).
How can you allow a chart from a government agency govern your perception of reality? I'd be happy to tell NASA that they're not fooling me.
Surface Detail wrote:
NASA satellites are not able to measure anything with that kind of absolute accuracy. What this particular satellite program does is measure comparative sea levels against that in other places within a short timespan. They are incapable of measuring absolute sea level, since it is not possible to measure a ground reference that accurately to reference them by.
The closest we get these days is about +-100 ft accuracy.
Absolutely correct. Landing solely by GPS is extremely dangerous. It's not even good enough to make an approach with at all. GPS approaches are supplemented by ground stations at the airport. That's good enough to get you to 800ft above the ground. If a glide slope (a land beacon) is provided, that's good enough to get you to 200 ft above the ground. Below that, you are required to use eyeballs unless you Cat III capability (mechanical eyeballs).
Even navigating solely by GPS enroute at altitude by pilots is severely restricted. Pilots are required to use GPS as a supplemental aid only, unless that GPS has certain minimum capabilities, among which it must be permanently wired to the aircraft power and not depend on batteries or temporary connections.
Into the Night wrote:
Of course your a pilot as well, is there anything your not an expert on, seriously there is no dispute about the trend in sea levels except amongst wilfully ignorant liars on the internet
You're wrong there. The great thing about science is that you don't have to believe anybody. If you care to look, NASA and the instrument makers explain exactly how they manage to achieve their claimed accuracy.
Nobody claims the existence of such a point. The mean sea level at a point is the time average of the sea height.
The Jason-2 ocean altimetry satellite doesn't use the GPS system for precise positioning; it uses the DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite) system. This is a dedicated satellite positioning system that is accurate to within about a centimetre.
If you cared to look, you'd find that there are detailed explanations of how the systems work. That's the beauty of science - you don't have to take anyone at their word.
As usual, you're completely wrong. The satellites use the DORIS system to determine their position in space to within about a centimetre relative to a network of 50 precisely located ground beacons. They then use radar altimetry to determine the height of the ocean surface above a reference ellipsoid to an overall accuracy of about 3 cm.
ITN's a fantasist. My favourite is the one where he claimed to make fireworks as a hobby.
I do both. To deny them out of hand is just appealing to the Stone. If you wish to show me evidence to the contrary anything I've said about the use of GPS in aircraft, you are welcome to point out the CFR to me.
As to fireworks, you'll just have to take my word for it. Those who come to see my shows every year seem to enjoy it.
The 50 (actually 60) precisely located ground beacons are precisely referenced to what? How is their precision measured?
This is the same problem with measuring sea level by using tidal stations.
I noticed that you claim 3cm accuracy, yet your graph shows mm type accuracy.
I also noticed that the data only goes back to 1992.
Surface Detail wrote:You're wrong there.
Your justification for your assertion that I am "wrong" is your strange, unquestioning belief that whatever you read on the internet is true.
If a US government agency posts something on the internet, you believe it, whether it be ocean-level accuracy, violations of physics, ...anything whatsoever.
I don't mind you having a strong devotion to a faith and I don't mind you believing that I am "wrong" for disagreeing" but if your reason is nothing more than the idea that I should read the internet site that you believed...well, we don't have much to discuss beyond that.
Surface Detail wrote: The great thing about science is that you don't have to believe anybody.
Then why do you believe wacky things just because they're posted on the internet?
You know that if there were a point on the ocean surface that were miraculously fixed at "sea level" a constellation of GPS satellites could not ascertain its elevation anywhere close to the accuracy you seek...and you know this. No approximation algorithms will magically provide such accuracy.
On top of this, there is no such fixed point. The already large margin of error is thus magnified. You know this as well. Since we don't know the actual sea level we can't use land-based references. You know this too.
But if NASA posts "Oh yeah, we can nonetheless ascertain an accurate sea level because of ...satellites!" then you say that should be believed without question.
Surface Detail wrote: The mean sea level at a point is the time average of the sea height.
That doesn't improve the accuracy. Sorry.
Surface Detail wrote: The Jason-2 ocean altimetry satellite doesn't use the GPS system for precise positioning; it uses the DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite) system.
I didn't say it had to be GPS. I'm saying that it's not any more accurate. It's a different form of measurement, not a more accurate one.

Tampa cold case ends 28 years later with quiet guilty plea
Jamie Christine Duncan was found strangled in 1991 behind a building on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The slaying was unsolved until 2015, when DNA linked Alfred Lewis Fennie to the crime. Tuesday he pleaded guilty.
TAMPA — One Saturday afternoon in August 1991, a man noticed what looked like a woman sleeping on the ground behind a small office building on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Police were called. Officers found the woman dead. She had been raped and strangled, a ligature pulled tight around her neck.
Her name was Jamie Christine Duncan. She was 24.
Detectives determined she'd been attacked after finishing the night shift as the assistant manager at the Burger King just across the busy four-lane road. There were few clues. The case stayed cold for years.
It ended quietly in a Tampa courtroom Tuesday morning.
Jamie Christine Duncan was found strangled in 1991 behind a building on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. [ Classmates.com ]
Alfred Lewis Fennie, a state prisoner condemned long ago to be executed in a different murder, pleaded guilty to Duncan's rape and murder. In exchange, he was given a 50-year prison sentence.
Although Fennie denied his guilt until the end, his DNA suggested otherwise.
It was his DNA in a rape kit investigators collected from Duncan's body, according to court documents. And it was his DNA on a cigarette butt that crime scene technicians found.
Cold case investigators submitted both those items for testing in 2014. The DNA was entered into a national database run by the FBI and compared with thousands of samples from thousands of people imprisoned throughout the U.S.
Later that year came a match to Fennie.
The 58-year-old prisoner resides at Union Correctional Institution in Raiford, home of Florida's death row. He's there for the murder of Mary Shearin, a Tampa woman who was kidnapped in September 1991 and driven to Hernando County, where she was shot to death and left in a field. Fennie has always blamed his co-defendant, Michael Frazier, who is serving a life sentence.
When investigators came to ask him about the Duncan case, he maintained his innocence.
"I never murdered anyone never," he said.
He claimed that he had dated a woman who had worked at Burger King in Tampa, according to court documents. He said they'd had sex three or four times. When the detectives showed him a picture of Duncan, he said he didn't recognize her. They told him she was strangled.
"You ever strangle anybody, Alfred?" he was asked.
Fennie was charged with Duncan's murder in 2015 and moved to the Hillsborough County Jail. The case drew scarce public attention even as attorneys prepared for a trial scheduled for next week.
In recent weeks, Fennie's public defenders unsuccessfully sought to have DNA evidence excluded from the case. When the lawyers viewed the cigarette butt and the rape kit in a meeting with police in 2018, they noted that the items were stored together in the same box. They questioned whether the evidence could have been contaminated. A judge didn't buy it and said the evidence would be allowed.
Days later came Fennie's guilty plea.
On Tuesday morning, Fennie sat at a defense table clad in red and orange jail garb, his wrists shackled. In a voice that was calm but gruff, he acknowledged he was giving up the right to a trial, which was set to begin next week.
Had a jury found him guilty, he faced another death sentence.
He said little else before returning to jail. Sometime soon, he will return to prison.
Duncan's brother, James, who was among the witnesses set to testify in the case, was not present in court Tuesday. He did not return messages for comment.
Her murder received little news coverage when it happened. The few stories that were written mentioned that she was born in Chicago and moved to Tampa from Brooksville about two years before she died.

04 Oct Possible La Niña Effects on Tahoe Winter Difficult to Predict
Posted at 22:05h in Tahoe Talk	|	Written by Meghan Herbst and Photography by Andrew Marshall	0 Comments
The Pacific Ocean can be temperamental. One year the waters along the equator warm rapidly, bringing trade winds to a halt, and the next year waters in the western Pacific warm so disproportionately that a massive difference in pressure sets up between its eastern and western halves, causing deep, cold ocean water along the coast of South America to rise to the surface and feed the pressure differential an atmospheric equivalent of Muscle Milk.
This year, we can expect Muscle Milk. But, according to meteorologist Elizabeth Austin, that doesn't necessarily mean anything grand for Tahoe.
"With Tahoe it's flip-a-coin time," says Austin, the founder and president of WeatherExtreme Ltd. based in Incline Village. She predicts a winter season of above-average temperatures and typical amounts of rain and snow.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) places the likelihood of a La Niña event developing this winter at 55 to 60 percent.
During a typical La Niña season, the northwest United States receives cold weather with an increase in precipitation—the opposite of El Niño's effects—while the southwest United States is more likely to invite warm and dry winter weather.
Lake Tahoe inhabits the borderland between these two atmospheric setups, making this winter difficult to predict.
"The line is running right through Tahoe," Austin says. "We're expecting just an equal chance of a normal season."
The buildup to the 2015 El Niño event saw mass publicity and produced some exciting predictions, including the possibility of an above-average snowpack for the Sierra Nevada. But last winter's showing underwhelmed local meteorologists.
Randall Osterhuber is a researcher at the Central Sierra Snow Lab (CSSL), a UC Berkeley research facility located on Donner Summit. The CSSL measures and studies snowpack trends in the Sierra Nevada, in addition to research in snow physics, hydrology, climatology and instrument design.
"For the Tahoe latitudes there is really no correlation between winter weather and the ENSO (El Niño or La Niña) events. Here our data splits almost fifty-fifty," says Osterhuber. "The real story is how people continue to think that there is."
A quick Internet search reveals over 1,000 news articles on last season's highly anticipated El Niño and its relationship to Lake Tahoe between June 2015 and May 2016.
Osterhuber says that other trends, not directly related to El Niño or La Niña events, are beginning to come out in the data.
"We're definitely seeing a higher and higher percentage of our annual precipitation in liquid form rather than solid. When [CSSL] was built in 1946 it was not placed at an elevation to be a marker for rising snowlines," he says.
July marked the 15th straight month of record-high global temperatures, an unprecedented streak in the history of recorded weather data. Osterhuber says that temperatures on Donner Summit had never "even come close" to hitting 100 degrees Fahrenheit, but in 2015 they climbed to 98.5 degrees for two days in a row.
"We look at these extremes, and extremes are more than anecdotal when you have a long record," says Osterhuber.
Rising temperatures and sea levels, as well as an increase in severe weather and flooding, may be imminent for many regions of the world, but this does not necessarily mean the public is paying attention.
Paul Slovic is a risk-assessment psychologist and professor at University of Oregon. He studies how individuals and collective groups of people analyze, assess and react to threats.
"Many people now are aware of and concerned about climate change. But they don't take any actions to reduce their impacts because climate changes are fuzzy and seem distant from them in time and space," Slovic says. "In addition, they think their efforts won't make a real difference, except to inconvenience them or cost them money. Winter forecasts, on the other hand, hit close to home and feel likely to impact them directly."
For Tahoe, the annual snowpack does, in fact, impact local businesses and the tourism sector at large, which is why many local resorts are scrambling to improve summer recreation opportunities.
Osterhuber knows one thing for sure: "There's nobody on the planet that knows what this next winter is going to bring."

Un enllaç carboni-nitrogen és un enllaç covalent entre el carboni i el nitrogen i és un dels enllaços més abundants en la química orgànica i la bioquímica.

El nitrogen té cinc electrons de valència, i en les amines simples és trivalent, formant els dos electrons sobrers un parell solitari. Amb aquest parell, el nitrogen pot formar un enllaç addicional amb hidrogen, resultant així tetravalent, amb una càrrega positiva en les sals d'amoni. Molts compostos de nitrogen poden ser potencialment bases químiques però el seu grau depèn de la configuració : l'àtom de nitrogen en les amides no és bàsic.

Com en els enllaços carboni-carboni aquests enllaços poden formar dobles enllaços estables, com en les imines i enllaços triples com en els nitrils. La longitud de l'enllaç és de 147,9 pm en les amines simples, 147,5 pm en els compostos C-N= com el nitrometà, 135,2 pm en els enllaços dobles parcials de la piridina i 115,8 pm en els enllaços triples de compostos com els nitrils. La força d'enllaç d'un enllaç CN és més gran (184 kcal/mol) que la d'un enllaç CC (145 kcal/mol).

Els enllaços CN estan fortament polaritzats cap al nitrogen, ja que aquest és més electronegatiu (3,04) que el carboni (2,55), per la qual cosa el moment dipolar pot ser elevat: 4,27 D en la cianamida, 1,5 D en el diazometà, 2,17 D en la metilazida i 2,19 D en la piridina. Per això molts dels compostos que contenen enllaços CN són solubles en aigua.

Areas of Research: Cortical mechanisms of auditory perception
Yonatan I. Fishman is an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Neurology and Neuroscience. Research in our laboratory examines neural mechanisms underlying auditory perception of speech, music, and other complex sounds at the cortical level. Of particular interest are the neural processes that allow the brain to perceptually separate spectrally and temporally overlapping sounds in complex acoustic environments, e.g., speakers' voices at a cocktail party. These neural processes are studied via electrophysiological recordings of neural activity in auditory cortex of awake, behaving non-human primates. Parallel collaborative and translational studies involving both non-invasive and intracranial electrophysiological recordings in humans aim at relating mechanisms of complex sound processing in animal models and humans. This understanding will help guide the development of more effective clinical approaches to alleviating hearing difficulties in noisy environments, difficulties which are particularly acute in the elderly and hearing-impaired, and in children with certain speech and language disorders. In addition to conducting research, I serve as co-director of the medical neuroscience course at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Who was the song My Sharona written for? |
Rachel Panenchko February 8, 2022 4 min read
The song was written for punk band The Knack. It is one of the best-known tracks in the history of music, with over 250 million copies sold worldwide and a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.
With their single "My Sharona," a band named The Knack shot to popularity over 30 years ago. It also created a celebrity out of its inspiration, a lady called Sharona, as you would expect.
