When it comes to everyday gear here at RMK there's one piece that is with me 24/7 and that is my watch. Now, I have my fair share of nice watches that I have collected over the years, although with the activities I do here at RMK and the career path I am on I needed something that not only looked the part but could keep up with me.
Enter the G-Shock Master of G MUDMASDTER watch.
A quick warning - This is not your average watch. With that being said it is my favorite watch I have had the chance to abuse. After doing some research about that type I watch I could wear all day every day with whatever adventure I decided to go on I stumbled across the Mudmaster.
The MudMaster comes in at $320 which is not on the cheap side of the watch world, but in my eyes the price is a steal and completely justified by the features and build quality of the watch. I was sent over the Black and Gold color set of the watch. It also comes in an OD Green and a Coyote color option. The MudMaster by G-Shock is marketed towards adventuring in the outdoors or excelling at an outside the norm career like wildland firefighting. The Mudmaster is one of three Master of G series of watches. The MudMaster being the "Land" geared watch while the GulfMaster excels at Sea excursions and the GravityMaster helps pilots fly high.
I am going to list the key features of the MudMaster below so I can get into the big features of the watch and my favorite.
Now that we got that out of the way I can get into the fun parts of the watch and the reasons why I love it.
First off the MudMaster as stated before is literally built for the career I am pursuing - Firefighting. I needed a built tough, bombproof watch to keep up with while at the Academy this year and the MM GG-1000 is that watch. I went into the Academy with my old fossil watch which was a great watch, however, it had a glass screen and a leather band which did just not fit in. The rugged design of the MM is undeniable and does an excellent job and taking the bumps and scratches. The watch for how rugged and durable it is, only comes in at 94g or 3.3oz.
The band of the MM is a full resin band which is comfortable and flexible while being durable as hell. I have had more comfortable watch bands like the full rubber band on the Garmin Fenix 3 however when it comes to durability nothing will beat the Resin band on the MM. The latch that encloses the Resin band is stainless steel to give a strong rust proof closure.
The watch features a glow-in-the-dark watch face that allows the user to get the time without pressing the backlight button. If you don't need to be stealthy and want to get the time quick you can hit the top right button on the watch face and illuminate the watch face. I love having the option to quickly glance at my watch without having to hit a button with the glow-in-the-dark hands and 5-minute interval marks.
No on to the features that make the MM what it is. We have talked about the bullet-proof durability of the MM, other than that my favorite feature is the included compass available for use. With a swift click of the "COMP" button on the right side of the watch, the MM turns into a super accurate wrist mounted compass.
Upon clicking the COMP button the watch uses the second hand to direct N while the top screen gives the degree of the direction you are facing. Having this feature on a watch I will be using while not only roughing through the Academy but hiking and mountaineering is invaluable. After my fire Academy is over I am not sure where my career will be headed entirely, however, it could included wildland fighting here in Colorado and this feature would be a must have. To move back into the normal face of the watch you only have to hit the "Mode button and you are right back to telling time. Not only can the compass give you the direction and bearing you are headed but can also give you readings on the direction you came in case you get turned around or weather conditions worsen.
The other like feature of the MM is the internal thermometer. When pressing down on the lower left "Search" button you can easily find the outside temperature in either C or F. Having quick access to the temp is a must have on a outdoor watch like the MM. It is easily accessed and second nature when you get used to the layout of the watch. The thermoater can go to 14F-140F.
Another great feature of the MM is the large watch face with the matching buttons. When trying to access the above features at a moments notice the large buttons help immensely. I was working the watch through my bunker gloves and I was still able to hit the button I was aiming for every time. All of the buttons on the MM are sealed to make sure no dirt, mud, or water enter it.
The MudMaster utilizes its Twin Sensor capabilities to be able to give both the temperature and the compass bearing.
Not only is the MM shock and mud resistant the watch is also waterproof up to a depth of 200m making it an all-around monster adventuring watch. The durability of this watch is a common theme in this review because it truly is amazing what you can put it through. Not only have I worn this watch every drill day at the academy while crawling through the "Maze", live fires, and workouts, I have taken it shooting, climbing and hiking. So far I have yet to see any blemish on either the face or band of the MM. We talked about the Resin band and its durability earlier and mentioned the Mineral glass face in the features. I can say that both of these added components of the MM work as advertised.
Some other non-survival features of the MudMaster included a stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of second as well as a 10-minute countdown timer. I loved having this feature to be able to see my improvement of time while crawling through the maze at the academy.
The MM also comes standard with a 5 daily alarm setting and 1 snooze alarm. I normally use my phone for this feature, although, when waking up on the 5am days it really helps to have an alarm I cannot accidently turn off.
The only downside I could pick out on the MudMaster GG-1000 was that it runs off a 2-year battery instead of a solar powered battery like its older brother, the MudMaster GWG. However, the GG comes in at a killer price of $320 while the GWG has a price tag of $750.
Overall the MUDMASTER GG-1000 series watch is an absolute monster of an outdoors watch that combines extreme durability with function. It was a joy being able to test and push this watch to see how it performed not only in everyday use but in the face of fire and the outdoors.

LAHORE: All CNG filling stations remained closed on Friday, the fourth consecutive day of closure, on the order of Sui Northern Gas Pipeline Ltd (SNGPL) managing director. On the other hand, the CNG consumers condemned the SNGPL and All Pakistan CNG Association for not opening supply on the fourth day. The consumers claimed neither the government nor the CNG association were in favour of opening the sale of CNG to motorists because of their ongoing tussle with the Supreme Court of Pakistan. �Why did the CNG association extend gas closure for another day on the request of the SNGPL when the case was still in the Supreme Court?� a consumer, who requested his name not be mentioned, told Daily Times.
�The CNG association and owners of most of CNG filling stations were already doing a contempt of court by not resuming the sale of gas,� said a consumer of the Gulberg area, Muhammad Jamil. He owns a Suzuki Mehran. He said despite court orders the government was not taking action against the CNG stations that don�t sell gas.
When contacted, All Pakistan CNG Association�s Punjab Chairman Capt (r) Shuja Anwar said that basic schedule of CNG load shedding was the same (three days a week). �On Wednesday, SNGPL MD requested us to close gas supply for another day due to extreme cold weather conditions and increase in gas consumption in the domestic sector,� Anwar claimed. The supply and sale will be resumed at CNG stations on Friday (today), he added.
It is noteworthy that out of a total of 350 CNG stations in Lahore, around 160 supply gas to the motorists while the others are on a strike on the issue of price, even against the Supreme Court�s order. Around half of the CNG stations which open their sales after the weekly load shedding close down the sales every alternate hour due to electricity load shedding. So the consumers have to face problems as the filling stations don�t use their power generators. Capt Shuja says using generators during the electricity load shedding means expenditure of another Rs 5 per kilogramme of the gas. �This is absolutely unaffordable at the current price fixed by the SC,� he says.
The consumers said the executive has failed to get the SC order implemented. It is worthy to note here that the SC had also ordered the government to take �a strict action� against all those CNG stations where gas is not provided to the motorists after the end of the weekly load shedding. It was noted on Thursday that all state-run (Pakistan State Oil) gas filling stations were also closed.


The bucket list mentality is strong with golfers. Sure, the majority of golf is played locally, but that doesn't change the fact that the diehards among us can't wait to hear about the next great course or destination.
One of the nation's biggest golf resorts is expanding to 108 holes, with Gull Lake View Golf Club & Resort in Southwest Michigan opening its sixth course (Stoatin Brae) this year. To transform the rolling contours of a former apple orchard high above the Kalamazoo River Valley into a minimalist Scottish-style golf course, ownership turned to the Michigan-based Renaissance Design team managed by Tom Doak. Stoatin Brae means "grand hill" in Scottish Gaelic and the elevation of the property means the ever-changing wind patterns can change not just day-to-day, but hour-to-hour.
Pete Dye keeps plugging along at age 91. On July 12, he'll open a second course at the luxurious Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in southwestern Pennsylvania, as Shepherd's Rock joins his celebrated Mystic Rock course that's ranked among the top 100 public courses in the country. Built on rolling terrain atop the Allegheny Mountains, the front nine is tree-lined and will require precision and accuracy while the back nine is more brawny; wide open with impressive vistas of the Laurel Highlands. In true Dye fashion, there will be rippling fairways, man-made mounds, plenty of wetlands and well-protected greens.
The private Summit Club will be the centerpiece of a luxury community (253 homes) in Summerlin, just 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. The 18-hole layout designed by Tom Fazio is set to open in the spring, but will only be available to homeowners who pay upwards of $2 million to live in yet another impressive Discovery Land project. Beyond the spectacular desert golf and the proximity to downtown Vegas, the club's on-course comfort stations feature treats from a margarita machine and tacos to homemade ice cream sandwiches.
The new Bayou Oaks Golf Course in New Orleans City Park, which is scheduled to open in the spring, replaces 36 holes that were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The new championship-level course, which joins an existing 18-hole layout (The North Course), was designed by architect Rees Jones with aspirations that at some point it could host the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic. It's a municipal course designed in the same category as a Bethpage Black or Torrey Pines. Bayou Oaks incorporates portions of the former East and West courses and includes historic oak trees and existing lagoons that are characteristic of the park. Perhaps most significantly, a portion of revenues will go toward helping schools and children in the local community.
Johnny Morris, the founder of Bass Pro Shops, continues to expand his impressive Big Cedar Lodge property with a Gary Player short course that will open this spring. The layout, designed as a more accessible experience for families, juniors and newcomers to the game, is a collection of par-3 and par-4 holes. It joins the eye-popping par-3 Top of The Rock course (Jack Nicklaus design) and the championship Buffalo Ridge course (Tom Fazio) at Big Cedar Lodge. The family-friendly getaway in the Ozarks is also adding an 18-hole Coore/Crenshaw course in 2018.
This is the most unique new golf facility of 2017, with two reversible 18-hole courses built on a property with 27 greens (nine are shared). Silvies Valley Ranch will truly be a one-of-a-kind golf experience, as the Dan Hixson designed Hankins and Craddock courses are part of a 140,000-acre working cattle ranch and resort. The course direction will be reversed each day once it opens in July, and there's more to come. Later this year, the Western retreat will open a fun 8-hole course of par-3 and par-4 holes carved into a steep-sided, narrow ridge of land (a razorback) that's called McVeigh's Gauntlet.
Mike Keiser found a recipe that works, bringing destination golf to the Oregon coast (Bandon Dunes) and Nova Scotia (Cabot Links). In May, Keiser unveils his latest project amid more than 1,700 acres of sand dunes in Central Wisconsin. The first course at Sand Valley, designed by the team of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, brings the big, bold playing style of a seaside links to the nation's heartland. The layout is routed through meandering ridges and valleys, and a second course by David McLay Kidd is already in the works for the property.
The first two courses at Streamsong — Blue and Red — quickly ensconced themselves in Top 100 rankings and now the resort's highly anticipated third course is set to debut this fall. Built by architect Gil Hanse, the designer of the 2016 Olympic course in Rio de Janeiro, the par-73 Black course is an expansive and strategic layout spread across rolling, sandy terrain that is reminiscent of the Sand Belt of Australia. Streamsong may be located in Florida, but the resort delivers a golf experience like none other you'll find in the state.
Okay, this one isn't in the U.S., but it's not that far away either. Dazante Bay, which is located in Loreto on the Baja Peninsula (about a two-hour flight from Los Angeles), opened 11 holes last year and the course is set to have all 18 holes ready for play in fall of 2017. Architect Rees Jones was given a remarkable piece of property and impressively incorporated desert, dunes, mountain, valley and water holes. The most notable is the stunning par-3 17th, which plays downhill to a green perched on a peninsula green 250 feet above the Sea of Cortez. Jones says he believes No. 17 will be considered one of the best holes in the world and it's hard to argue when you've seen the photos.
Jordan Spieth nearly escaped the rain in Los Angeles at the Genesis Open at Riviera Country Club with a full 18 holes of play in Round 2 on Friday. Instead, he only got 16 of the 18 in before rain washed out the day, but he played them almost flawlessly in brutal conditions (downright apocalyptic for Los Angeles).
Spieth moved up 28 slots on the leaderboard to T4, and at 5 under, he trails leaders Jhonattan Vegas and Sam Saunders by just two strokes. Spieth made an early bogey on his third hole of the day (No. 12 on the course) before playing the final 13 pretty much perfectly.
His wildest shot of the day probably came on the par-3 sixth hole when he hit a tee shot that looked like it was going off the back of the green before spinning all the way back to 15 feet. Spieth centered up the putt for birdie No. 4 on the day.
Spieth's streak into the weekend should not come as a surprise. He almost won this tournament back in 2015 and is coming off a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last week. He has not finished outside the top 10 at a PGA Tour event this calendar year so far.
He has had only one round at Riviera over 72 (a bizarre 79 in Round 1 last year). In addition to all of this, Spieth's Texas Longhorns won the NCAA national title at Riviera back in 2012. There are certainly good vibes when it comes to The Riv.
Spieth found his putting stroke a little on Friday after a ho-hum 69 in Round 1. If he can find birdies at both of his final two holes when players return to the course on Saturday morning, he can tie the lead early on the weekend (something he has been quite familiar with over the course of his young career).
Round 2 at Riviera will resume at 10 a.m. Eastern on Saturday.

Government itself advertises prosperity gospel churches it is concerned about
There are countless instances of the government's right hand not working collaboratively with the left hand. One relates to a long-running official campaign to rein in prosperity gospel churches.
The right hand is the Registrar of Societies which is rigorously (and maybe unethically) policing such churches. Its most pressing concern is that the blatantly commercial orientation of these churches impoverishes citizens. The left hand is the Department of Information and Broadcasting which, through Botswana Television (Btv), has given a platform to a succession of some of the most high profile prosperity gospel entrepreneurs who are plying their trade in the United States. That makes perfect sense: if you want viewership to go up and attract advertisers, you need to show the likes of Kenneth Copeland, Joyce Meyer and Benny Hinn.
While Btv's business case may be both sound and legitimate, featuring Kenneth Copeland not only advertises but also popularizes a brand of Christianity that the Registrar of Societies is gravely concerned about. To Copeland & Co., the most important scripture is that on tithing and other forms of religiously-inspired giving. As a direct result of pimping the tithing scripture to its last letter, Copeland (who is worth P7.6 billion) has impoverished millions of people around the world. Through the Registrar of Societies, the government is concerned about what prosperity gospel will do to a country that now ranks as one of the fifth most unequal in the world in terms of wealth and income. From the platform that Btv gives them, prosperity gospel entrepreneurs make a persuasive case of why religious-giving is an important part of faith.
Down the food chain are local prosperity gospel entrepreneurs who also get a chance to deliver sermons on Btv. In fairness to them, they don't give tithe sermons but evidently aim to make a good enough impression on viewers to attract members to their churches. Once inside church, it is very easy for these pastors to get to work on the minds of new members. There is a very good justification for featuring local content but because of what their brand of Christianity represents, local prosperity gospel entrepreneurs are a challenge in the stated manner.
There is every indication that local prosperity gospel entrepreneurs get their cues from the US where prosperity gospel (a natural evolution of capitalism) originated in the late 1970s. Based on examples from the US, Botswana pastors may soon raise funds to buy luxury jets. As a direct result of self-reported "conversations" with God, prosperity gospel pastors like Copeland and the appropriately-named Creflo Dollar have asked their flock to buy them very expensive luxury jets.
While it may seem virtuous, the policing of prosperity gospel has a downside to it because it is done by people who are worshippers themselves. Some are from mainstream churches that are panicked over losing members to prosperity gospel churches. The conflict of interest is plain to see.
In the latest spat between the government and the prosperity gospel establishment, the latter tried shutting down a South Africa-headquartered operation with a network that extends throughout Botswana. In the second week of 2018, the Registrar of Societies closed down the Enlightened Christian Gathering Church International which is owned by Malawian pastor, Shepherd Bushiri. The church had ignored a letter that implored it to give reasons why its registration should not be revoked. However, after a brief legal fight in which it was discovered that the police acted in undue haste, the church is back in business.

China Strengthens Communist Economic Control as Its Currency Plummets
By The Western Journal August 5, 2018 at 9:23pm
BEIJING (AP) — China has tightened controls on trading in its yuan to discourage speculators after a decline against the dollar amid a tariff dispute with Washington fueled fears of a damaging outflow of capital from the world's second-largest economy.
Traders must post a 20 percent deposit starting Monday for contracts to buy or sell yuan on a future date. That raises the cost of betting it will drop and might help to discourage speculative trading.
The tightly controlled yuan has been allowed to decline by about 8 percent against the dollar since early February.
That helps Chinese exporters that face U.S. tariff hikes by lowering their prices in dollar terms. But it also encourages investors to shift money out of China, which would have a broader impact by raising financing costs for other industries.
On Friday, the yuan slipped to a 13-month low of 6.91 to the dollar, close to the highly symbolic level of 7, before strengthening to 6.83 after the margin requirement was announced.
The deepening U.S.-Chinese tariff fight prompted suggestions Beijing might weaken the yuan to help exporters. But analysts say the decline has been driven mostly by China's slowing economic growth and the diverging direction of U.S. and Chinese interest rates.
Washington imposed 25 percent tariffs on $34 billion of Chinese goods on July 6 and is considering an increase on an additional $16 billion, with another $200 billion list of goods threatened. Beijing matched Washington's first round of increases and on Friday threatened penalty charges on another $60 billion of U.S. imports.
Communist leaders have tried to stick to long-term economic plans, resisting U.S. President Donald Trump's demands to change industry development strategies Washington and other governments say violate their market-opening commitments.
That business-as-usual approach has included the People's Bank of China allowing the yuan to fluctuate more widely. Beijing wants to make the exchange system more market-oriented and efficient.
The central bank "had been largely tolerant" of the yuan's decline, said Jingyi Pan in a report. But the latest changes "may have gathered concerns including capital flight."
The margin of decline against the dollar has been unusually wide because other currencies in the basket used by the Chinese central bank to set exchange rates have not risen along with the greenback.
Compared with the overall basket, the yuan has declined by a smaller margin of 4 percent, according to Carl B. Weinberg of High-Frequency Economics.
"These are trivial moves in the medium term, despite volatility recently," said Weinberg in a report.
Beijing imposed similar controls in October 2015 after a change in the exchange rate mechanism prompted markets to bet the yuan would fall, according to Philip Wee and Eugene Leow of DBS Group. The currency temporarily steadied but fell further the following year.
Making it harder to bet on the yuan "did not insulate it from the currency war," said Wee and Leow in a report.
The effectiveness of the latest controls will be limited, analysts said. The yuan still faces downward pressure as Chinese and U.S. interest rates head in opposite directions.
The Federal Reserve is raising U.S. rates while Beijing eases access to credit to pep up cooling economic growth. That encourages investors to convert money into dollars in search of higher returns.
Due to that, "the outlook of yuan remains weak," said Margaret Yang of CMC Markets in a report.

Codetrails Error Analytics now comes with a much requested feature: charts and dashboards.
At the moment, you can choose from a dozen different chart types. These range from a simple pie chart showing the severity of reported problems to an elaborate scatter plot showing which projects are best at fixing problems. There is a chart type for everyone, from quality engineers and developers to project leads and product managers.
Let's have a look at a few examples on how charts on your dashboard can improve your workflow.
If you are a quality engineer tasked with triaging incoming problems, the Problem Statuses pie chart is the perfect starting point for your task. It tells you exactly how many problems with an "Unconfirmed" status there are for you to work on.
Even better, clicking on the corresponding slice of the pie chart immediately takes you to the Top 20 problems with this status. This allows you to quickly drill down and see the problems that affect the most users, so that you can triage those first.
Once you are done triaging a problem, you change its status to "New" and hand it over to your developer colleagues. They can then follow a similar route, using the Problem Statuses Pie chart to quickly fix the new problems that trouble your users the most.
If you are a project lead, then the Open/Closed Problems timeline chart is the perfect tool for you to monitor your team's progress. This chart not only shows you how many problems have been closed in a given time frame, but also how many new problems your users have opened during that time.
This allows you to see emerging trends, be they positive or negative, and to react to them.
If you are a product manager overseeing multiple projects, then the Projects Activity bar chart shows you how your projects perform. You can not only see which projects are struggling with a large number of open problems and which projects have closed a lot of them, but you can also assess the crucial ratio between open and closed problems, which indicates overload.
If you have a large number of projects in your project group, you may want a more concise presentation of this crucial ratio. The Projects Activity scatter chart offers exactly that.
The above scatter chart displays those projects which are good at closing their incoming problems in the upper left part. Projects that receive more problems than they can handle can be found towards the lower right.
Charts are available on the dashboard of both a project and a project group, i.e., a collection of projects. Visit the respective dashboard and click Edit Project or Edit Project Group. In the Dashboard Charts panel you can then add a new chart.
In addition to a Title you can give your chart an (optional) query, which selects the problems that form the basis of the chart from among all problems assigned to the project or project group in question.
The above Problem Statuses pie chart, for example, includes only those problems assigned to a project which have been created in the last month. This can be useful if you want to see how quickly your quality engineers are able to triage problems and move them from "Unconfirmed" to "New" status.
Is your application plagued by NullPointerExceptions? Find out using the Exception Types pie chart (and consider using tools like Eclipse JDT's Null Analysis or FindBugs/SpotBugs).
Are there still being new problems discovered every day? Use the Problems timeline chart to see whether saturation is in sight.
Also, you can always export the charts' raw data as .tsv for further analysis with your favorite tool.

Sean Knapp wins U.S. Senior Amateur in 1st try
USGA/Chris Keane

Sean Knapp finally made it past the semifinal round at a USGA event, and he took full advantage.
Knapp closed out Paul Simson, 2 and 1, Thursday at the Minikahda Club in Minneapolis to capture the 2017 U.S. Senior Amateur. The 55-year-old had previously reached the semifinals at the U.S. Mid-Amateur in 2008 and 2010, but he'd never reached beyond that in a USGA event.
That changed when Knapp, competing in his first U.S. Senior Amateur, posted a 1-up win over Dave Ryan in Wednesday's semifinal. Knapp, of Oakmont, Pa., lost the first hole in Thursday's final and was 1 down through nine, but he captured the 10th and 11th to snatch away the lead. Simson, of Raleigh, N.C., won the 13th to square the match, but Knapp proceeded to take Nos. 14 and 16 to go dormie.
A 20-footer for par at No. 17 halved that hole and sealed Knapp the win. He did it without a birdie in the final, but the trophy remains his.
"I've got this big thing over there that says W. I don't care how it looks or what it is," Knapp said. "If you're making double bogey, I'm going to make bogey. If you're making par, I'm going to try to make birdie."
He did it, too, defeating a two-time champion. The U.S. Senior Amateur, for those 55 years or older, has been a cozy spot for Simson, who captured the event in 2010 and '12.
The 66-year-old has also won the British and Canadian Senior Amateurs. Still, this loss means he falls short in his attempt to join Lewis Oehmig as the only three-time winners of the event.
Knapp noted Thursday was the calmest he'd been in any match all week. He gave a nod to best friend and legendary mid-amateur Nathan Smith in the aftermath of his victory on that point.
"Nathan and I have played so much against each other and with each other," Knapp said. "There's a formula, and I'm well aware of it. I can't always execute it. He can. It's about being patient, not giving holes, and forcing your opponent to get uncomfortable. If you can force them into that level of uncomfortability, they might make poor decisions. I'm not saying that that's what happened today, but certainly it kept my emotions at bay."

PUBLIC NOTICE AS REQUIRED BY LAW: Any use of this Web page, in any manner whatsoever, will increase the amount of disorder in the universe. Although no liability is implied herein, the consumer is warned that this process will ultimately lead to the heat death of the universe.
I think it is great that Wikipedia exists, that it is free and will forever be free. It is also great that /anyone/ can contribute. This is, IMO, a revolution in how information is presented, controlled and distributed and is in-line with the true intended nature of the World Wide Web.
Combining the wiki concept with free content also creates something that is far more radical than even free software; truly anybody can contribute. That idea is astounding - especially given the fact that Wikipedia is such a shocking success.
Wikipedia is absolute proof that, left alone, groups of people tend to work together to build magnificent things instead of tearing them down. Locking things down, on-the-other-hand, leads to stagnation and, if anything, tempts people to break-in and make a mess of the place. Since it is trivial to vandalize Wikipedia, there is very little reward for the vandal; especially since repairing damage by vandals is easier than creating the vandalism in the first place.
All this tends to ensure that Wikipedia will, on average, improve over time and self-heal. Wikipedia is Linus' Law on steroids; given enough eyeballs reading Wikipedia, all bugs are shallow since fixing /any/ error instantly is as easy as clicking "edit this page" and "Save". What a wonderful concept!
Our content is what matters most here. So if the way we run our community is contributing to a breakdown of neutrality and quality in our content, then we need to make some modifications.
Wiki is a wonderful technology and philosophy that has been the main component of our success. But it is still just a tool. If that tool is not working as well now as it did when we were small, then we should explore ways to improve that tool. In short: Wiki is a means to an end, not an end in itself.

Q: execute program in loop bash script I would like to run the executable run_ex multiple times varying some parameters (text file), but I am new to the bash scripts and I can't figure out how to do that...
#! /bin/bash
for ((hour=1; hour <= 9 ; hour++))
do
   printf "run executable for hour %d \n" $hour

   parameter1 ="/path1/file1_$hour.txt"

   parameter2 = "/path2/file2_$hour.txt"

   ./run_ex $parameter1 $parameter2

done

Thanks

A: spaces are not allowed around = for variable assignment:
  parameter1 ="/path1/file1_$hour.txt"
  #         ^

Write that instead:
  parameter1="/path1/file1_$hour.txt"
  parameter2="/path2/file2_$hour.txt"

A: Following Sylvain Leroux's answer, you should also place your variables inside double-quotes to prevent word splitting and unexpected pathname expansion:
#!/bin/bash
for ((hour=1; hour <= 9 ; hour++))
do
    printf "run executable for hour %d \n"" $hour"

    parameter1="/path1/file1_$hour.txt"
    parameter2="/path2/file2_$hour.txt"

   ./run_ex "$parameter1" "$parameter2"
done

Also with brace expansion, you can simplify for ((hour=1; hour <= 9 ; hour++)) as for hour in {1..9}; do.
See Word Splitting and Pathname or Filename Expansion.

Yahoo Discloses Another Breach, Compromising 1 Billion Accounts
Posted on December 16, 2016 by Tom RichardsDecember 16, 2016
From eMarketer
Hack appears to have occurred in August 2013
Yahoo disclosed a security breach that may have exposed data from more than 1 billion accounts.
The company was already dealing with the fallout from a previously disclosed hack, announced in September, that had exposed the data of roughly 500 million users.
The two hacks appear to be separate, Yahoo said. In the latest incident, the company said that stolen user data may have included names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, passwords and possibly security questions.
"Yahoo has taken steps to secure user accounts and is working closely with law enforcement," the company said.
The breach raises questions about Yahoo's planned acquisition by Verizon Communications, a $4.8 billion deal that was unveiled in July. After Yahoo disclosed the previous hack in September, Verizon said it might try to renegotiate the deal. Earlier this month, Tim Armstrong, CEO of Verizon unit AOL, said he was "cautiously optimistic" that the deal would go through.
In the wake of the most recent disclosure, Verizon said only that it would "evaluate the situation" as Yahoo investigates the breach. "We will review the impact of this new development before reaching any final conclusions," the company was quoted in the Wall Street Journal.
For Verizon, the purchase of Yahoo was an opportunity to increase its reach and also a chance to further its advertising technology capabilities.
Yahoo's star may have dimmed, but its various properties still see massive numbers of users. The Yahoo Audience Network had 201.5 million unique visitors in September 2016, according to comScore MMX.
Meanwhile, it offers a variety of ad tech tools, and user data, that would be invaluable in creating a powerful advertising technology platform. "It's clear that Verizon is focused on being No. 3 after Google and Facebook in the ad tech world," Matt Keiser, founder and CEO of email advertising vendor LiveIntent, said.
Though Verizon has always had access to mobile behavioral and location data privy only to a telecom provider, it has lacked data on key desktop ad targeting data available to publishers.
The purchase of Yahoo would extend its effort to bridge the divide between devices, and make the job of mapping individual customer journeys that much simpler for marketing technology vendors.

Each year nearly 6,000 are arrested for DUI in South Dakota. Many of them ask their brother-in-law the recent graduate to handle their DUI case.
Not everybody makes good decisions 100% of the time. Don't take a chance with your right to drive. Contact an experienced DUI attorney today for a free consultation.
Confronting a DUI in South Dakota can be daunting for anyone. If you are currently facing a DUI, chances are you aren't familiar with what you're up against and are feeling embarrassed, stressed out and frightened. A DUI is considered a criminal offense and is one you should be taking seriously. Of course, it's not reasonable to expect the average citizen to be able to understand and decipher the statutes, and for that reason you will need to find legal representation right away. Nationwide, as in South Dakota, DUI laws have become much stricter and more punitive in recent years. The public's awareness of the dangers of drunk driving has inspired legislators to pass laws, more laws and laws that affect laws. As a result, the practice of DUI defense has evolved into a specialized area of legal practice, as ordained by the American Bar Association. A skilled DUI attorney will not only be familiar with the local laws, but will be able to defend against the scientific evidence presented in court. A qualified local South Dakota DUI lawyer offers the best opportunity for your case to be settled to your advantage. Reach out today for a free consultation with a DUI attorney. Get your questions answered and gain some peace of mind.
In South Dakota, driving with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of .08 or higher is against the law, and for this you will be arrested. This is prosecuted under the per se law, and does not consider your driving at all. You can also be arrested based on the observations of the officer even though your BAC is below .08. If it is determined that you are driving under the influence, to the degree of being impaired, you'll be charged . In making the determination, the officer will consider your driving, your demeanor, what you say, whether you fumble getting your license out, and even field sobriety tests.
After your arrest, your criminal case will commence. There will be scheduled court dates, your attorney will make discovery requests, file motions and bring in expert witnesses to protect your rights. The outcome of the case will determine jail time, fines and court fees, and any remedial alcohol or driving programs. A conviction for DUI will remain on your driving record forever. Don't even think of going to court without getting a free consultation from a qualified local DUI attorney. This is not a time to bargain with your freedom.
The penalties listed below are called for by statute, are not complete, and can often be removed or reduced significantly with the assistance of a local South Dakota DUI attorney.
Additional offenses and considerations will bring significantly higher penalties including up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines. Don't take a chance with your freedom. It is highly recommended that you contact a qualified DUI attorney right away for a FREE CONSULTATION on your case. Your case CAN be won with the right representation.
