GNSS Today
Popular location dependent services have serious performance deficiencies
Today's mobile GNSS technology has significant reliability and accuracy limitations, because it depends on L1 signaling developed in the 1970s. L1 can't cope with building and tree blockage. In urban areas, positioning can have 40-100 meters of error, placing users on the wrong side of the street, or even on the wrong block. Large position errors significantly degrade popular location dependent services such as rideshare, pedestrian navigation and 911 emergency calls. L1 signals are susceptible to lots of interference, have no error correction, and have low transmission power, limiting position availability, and making legacy L1 dependent receivers less reliable.
L5—The first major navigation satellite upgrade in decades
The good news is that most navigation satellite constellations now broadcast a modernized signal called L5. L5 has error correction, higher transmission power and is in the protected aviation band, making L5 much more reliable than legacy L1. L5 is a dual sideband signal with much more information, opening the door for receivers that can make high precision measurements, and can compensate for multipath.
Hybrid L1/L5 solutions—double the RF receive chain, and limited by L1 performance
SoC providers have adopted dual frequency (L1/L5) architectures to use L5. But hybrid receivers must first acquire L1 before they can take advantage of L5's accuracy—they won't work if L1 isn't acquired. Receiver reliability is limited by L1's lower reliability. Furthermore, hybrid L1/L5 receivers double the RF front end, increasing RF size, power and cost for the OEM.
"While GPS works well under clear skies, its location estimates can be wildly inaccurate (with a margin of error of 50 meters or more) when we need it the most: in densely populated and highly built-up urban areas…"

An alleged technical misclick by someone inside Apple's iOS store has caused widespread speculation that Full Tilt may be poised to go live in New Jersey.
Although described as an 'errant message' by the operator, one Garden State resident was recently greeted with a pop-up that welcomed him to Full Tilt's New Jersey platform.
Unsure whether the message was genuine or not, Dennis Lopez posted a screenshot on Twitter and asked people if they knew what the deal was. After other people reported a similar pop up, Lopez decided to test out the download link.
After clicking the link and being directed back to the iOS app store, nothing happened and it was quickly suggested that the whole episode had been a 'false alarm'.
Despite being described as an error, the news is significant for those in the US as it's yet another hint that PokerStars and Full Tilt may rejoin the market fairly soon. Early this year, Senator Ray Lesniak predicted that PokerStars at least would be licensed to go live in New Jersey in March.
Although the latest technical glitch doesn't necessarily support this idea, it's certainly possible that the message was designed to be released at a later date; something many New Jersey residents will be happy about.

Četverored is 1999 Croatian film directed by Jakov Sedlar. Based on the novel of the same name by Ivan Aralica, the plot of the film deals with the Yugoslav death march of Nazi collaborators. It was the first film to deal with the subject, formerly a taboo topic under the Communist government. Četverored was aired on television only a week after its theatrical release in Zagreb, in what was widely characterised as an electoral ploy to support the ruling Croatian Democratic Union, which subsequently lost the elections.

Četverored was the last film role of Ena Begović before her death in a car accident in August 2000.

The cast also includes Luka Peroš best known for his role of Marseille in Money Heist.

Critical reception
The Croatian Cinema Database website's entry for the movie gives the film a largely negative review, noting that screenwriter Ivan Aralica and director Jakov Sedlar "turned the film into an expression of caricatured intolerance towards (Serbian and Montenegrin) partisans" and that its "hate speech and utter nonsense" overshadows any potential it has.

Historian Jelena Batinić writes that, despite the film's high production value and prominent Croatian actors, it "rarely rises above the level of a propaganda pamphlet with crude ethnic stereotyping" as the mostly Serb Partisans are portrayed as vicious murderers and Croat prisoners as innocent victims.

Professor Dijana Jelača of Brooklyn College lists Četverored as among the post-Yugoslav nationalist revisionist films which use events of the past, reconstructing them in order to "warn generations to come" of the never-ending threats to nationhood. In this case, communism is presented as being on equal footing, if not worse, than fascism. Film scholar Dino Murtic describes the film as "perhaps the most inglorious example of the cinema of self-victimisation" made during the 1990s as Yugoslavia had disintegrated.

Listen to hormonal cues for stronger workouts, better skin, and more.
Options such as the pill keep your hormone levels more consistent throughout your cycle, Pollock says. That means fewer necessary adjustments. One thing to take into account: Testosterone levels may be lower in women on hormonal birth control, she notes, so it's extra important to take adequate recovery between strength and HIIT sessions for your muscles to recover.
Throughout the menstrual cycle you might experience cramps, cravings, as well as energy surges and droughts, all of which can feel like short-term roadblocks to a healthy lifestyle. But that's only true if your habits stay static throughout those 28 days.
Hormonal fluctuations directly affect energy levels, muscle and joint function, and even your skin health, says Jiji Pollock, an exercise physiologist and health and human performance coach at the Institute of Motion in Walnut Creek, California. By adjusting your routine accordingly, you can actually take advantage of these ebbs and flows for clearer skin, stronger workouts, and better nutrition.
That's why experts created the comprehensive four-week plan below, which takes these hormonal changes into account for a more optimized routine for women.
Some exceptions: This plan doesn't apply to you if you don't ovulate, if your body doesn't follow a four-week cycle as is the case in women with PCOS, or if you take hormonal birth control (see box above). "But for women who are generally in the 28-day cycle, this is a good plan to follow," Pollock says.
On your period, your skin may look dull and feel dry since low estrogen levels slow oil production, says New York City-based dermatologist Sejal Shah, MD. Use a serum with hydrating ingredients such as sodium hyaluronate and vitamin C. Apply it before your daytime moisturizer or night cream.
The start of your cycle is marked by the first day of your period. Along with bleeding, cramps, and changes in mood (whether positive or negative), you'll likely experience a drop in energy, Pollock explains.
The reason for this is twofold. First, your body produces less testosterone during menstruation, she says. The hormone stimulates the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to your tissues. So it follows that when your levels are low, less energy gets delivered to your muscles. That, coupled with period-induced blood loss, can contribute to overall feelings of sluggishness.
Because of all this, you want to schedule lower-intensity workouts that activate the parasympathetic nervous system so you can feel restored, says John Sinclair, an Alberta, Canada-based programming officer and performance coach for the Institute of Motion. He recommends yoga, Pilates, and lower-load resistance training.
At the end of week one, estrogen rises and progesterone drops, Pollack says. Balance them out with flax seeds (their phytoestrogens can lower estrogen levels) and pumpkin seeds (the zinc is a boon for progesterone), says Nicole Jardim, New York City-based women's health and functional nutrition coach.
You don't have to scrap your regular workouts altogether as long as you squeeze in some extra rest. If on one day you log a moderate-intensity run, use the next for recovery. "The goal is to allow for regeneration," Pollock says.
Your knee joint, for example, will be less secure than normal, so if you put too much pressure on it while squatting or doing plyometrics, your risk of injury goes up. Because of this, she suggests avoiding high-impact exercises like box jumps and heavy lifts.
"When you're at your most powerful, energetic, and explosive, protein is king," says Kate Solovieva, a master coach at Precision Nutrition in Toronto, Canada. In week three, aim for 50 grams (which you'll get from two eggs with cheese and a serving of greek yogurt with almonds) by lunch.
At this point you'll start feeling more energized, since testosterone picks up again and more blood and oxygen gets delivered to your muscles. "It's when you can really ramp up the intensity, lifting heavier, going faster, and moving with more degrees of freedom," Sinclair says.
Throughout the follicular phase (week two) and into ovulation (week three), estrogen and follicle stimulating hormone (responsible for triggering ovulation) levels rise, strengthening the integrity of your joints. Better yet, testosterone peaks in week three, making it the ideal time to put high energy levels to use.
Sinclair suggests taking advantage of these factors in weeks two and three by doing more HIIT and HISS workouts like Tabata and AMRAP as well as plyometrics. When lifting, do so at approximately 75 to 90 percent of your one-rep max. You can do up to three high-intensity workouts per week, Pollock says, with moderate or recovery days in between.
They're caused by this week's spike in oestradiol (an estrogen hormone), Solovieva says. Continue to eat more protein to keep you satiated and make you less likely to indulge.
Testosterone's spike in week three is followed by a fall in week four, and your energy levels will follow.
Training during week four should focus more on SISS workouts like moderate-intensity running, swimming, or cycling. Resistance training should be done at 50 to 65 percent of your one-rep maximum.
If you do opt for intense exercise, you may find you need more rest. To prep for your period, your body produces more progesterone. Research shows too much of the hormone can block signals being sent from the brain to the muscles to synthesize collagen.
Progesterone makes skin oily, causing acne on the chin and jawline. Get a deep-cleansing facial such as the HydraFacial at The Spa or EQX Body Lab to counter these issues, says Ashley Hudson, the senior regional manager at EQX Body Lab in New York City.
"When that happens, you recover more slowly," Pollock says. Pamper yourself a little more than usual with rest, a massage, foam rolling, and steam sessions.
And be sure to prioritize your sleep hygiene: A new study found that women woke up three extra times and for 15 additional minutes each night at the end of the luteal phase compared to the beginning of the follicular phase. Eat within a 12-hour window and perfect your nighttime routine to get more rest so you can give 100 percent in and out of the gym.

I don't understand how it's possible , and then some women can test positive as early as 7-8dpo ?

The second thing that I ever made was a purse for my wife. She had a cheap purse she'd bought from H&M. It had fallen apart after some use, but she still really liked the design and asked if I could make a new one. To be honest, I didn't really know if I could make a new one but I figured why not try.
I was just beginning and didn't have a lot of money, so I used the only leather I had ever bought to make it: an 8oz piece of Craftsman Oak. If you're familiar with leather sizes, you know that is way too thick for a purse. So I tried my best to skive it down to about 5oz. Skiving is one of those things that takes a bit of skill though, so I took it slow and did the best I could. I'd say it turned out ok at best.
This is what smashed rivets look like.
This is what I look like after smashing rivets.
They were horribly mangled. So mangled in fact that you can see it from a distance. I had spent all this time trying my best to make this bag good, only to have it ruined in about two minutes. I tried to remove them, but rivets aren't meant to be removed. And after some searching on youtube there are tutorials to removing them, but it's much harder to get them off than on. What I'm trying to say is riveting sounds easy, but just like everything else in leather working, there is a skill to it. Ruining your wife's birthday gift is not a good thing, so here's some tips for a happy marriage and a well set rivet.
Use an anvil. If you are using a rivet setter like the one to the right, they are also sold with anvils (for a little more). Anvils are nice for two reasons. First they provide a nice hard surface to hit the rivet on to. But when it comes to a small anvil, I think the more practical purpose is for setting double sided rivets. Some anvils come with rounded out dips in them to set the other side of the rivet in it. This way neither side of the rivet is damaged in the setting process.
This brings me to my second point: Rivet on a hard surface. I thought the small anvil I was using would suffice, but I was hammering with this small anvil on a wooden desk. The anvil would jump around when I hammered and leave dents in the other side of my rivet. Once I moved to a concrete floor this stopped happening because the surface was less bouncy and the anvil stayed in place.
Practice. I know this sounds obvious, but seriously rivets are inexpensive. Don't be afraid to waste a few on a scrap piece of leather for the sake of saving a project. Do this especially if you are either trying rivets for the first time or trying a brand of rivets you have never used before. They might dent easier and require you to use less force. Or they might not fit into the rounded dips in your anvil as well as other brands and it may be more difficult for you to set them correctly.
Make sure your stem isn't too long. If the leather you are using does not completely fill the space between the two caps, you run a good chance of messing up the rivet in the setting process. Instead of the stem closing around itself, it will slip and bend diagonally making it so your rivets don't actually close and the caps no longer line up. There's two easy fixes for having too long of stems. You can either cut them and shorten them to the correct length. Or you can do you best to make sure to come straight down on top of the rivet with you swing the hammer. If the force of your hammer doesn't come from directly above, the rivet will slip though, so it's just better to have the stem at the right length.
Luckily my wife loved her purse even with the obviously flawed rivets. She's just nice like that and still wears it around today… even though those rivets are always staring back at me. I am happy to say that none of my rivets have looked that bad since, thanks to tips like these. As always, if I missed some tips let me know in the comments.

Miracle on 34th Street (1994): A Review
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET (1994)
What Was Wrong With the Old Version?
For this year's Rick's Texan Reviews Annual Christmas Special, I'm going for two Christmas-themed movies: one on Christmas Eve, one on Christmas Day. The Christmas Eve review is a Ghost from Christmas Films Past, the Christmas Day review is from a Ghost of Christmas Films Present.
In keeping with Rick's Texan Reviews Annual Christmas Special, for this year's Christmas film review, I've chosen a film I've long avoided: the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. A large part of my avoidance came from the fact that as far as I was concerned, there was simply no need to remake a film that is practically perfect as is. What more could be told? What improvements could be made with regards to the 1947 film?
The late and much-missed Maureen O'Hara, who starred in the original Miracle on 34th Street, commented with pride that the film had been remade three times (two television adaptations and this film). "Each one...flopped", she said with joy in her voice and a gleam in her Irish eyes, taking great delight in the fact that her version is the one most remembered and watched, the others pretty much forgotten. Well, given it is Christmas, I opted to finally tackle what I had long not wanted to deal with.
I found that Maureen O'Hara's perceptions about at least this version were accurate: it IS a flop. She had every right to stomp over every effort to improve on her film. The 1994 Miracle on 34th Street, while not as dreadful as I'd feared, simply has no reason to exist.
An old man (Richard Attenborough, affectionately known as "Sir Dickie") wanders into the Cole's Thanksgiving Day Parade (Macy's I imagine wisely not wanting to be part of this, but I wonder: was Kohl's around at the time?). We should note that this old man was mistaken for Santa Claus by a little boy, only to have the old man whisper to him, "I Am". As he IS Santa Claus, Cole's director of special programming and events Dory Walker (Elizabeth Perkins) begs him to replace the loutish, boozed-up Santa. He does so, and his success irritates Cole's rival, the Wal-Mart like Shopper's Express, headed by EVIL corporate head Victor Landbergh (Joss Ackland). He wants Cole's in his empire (though we're not sure why) and a last-minute loan to Cole's saves it much to his irritation.
This Kriss Kringle is a HUGE success with EVERYONE loving him, so much so that he, to his puzzlement, gets in front of cameras and says, "Good Morning, America". Kriss even sends people to other stores, which shocks everyone and leaves customers, oddly, more disgruntled than pleased. Dory knows there is no such thing as Santa Claus, words of wisdom she's passed on to her daughter, Susan (Mara Wilson). Susan, who is really, REALLY wise beyond her years, is constantly trying to get her mother together with next door neighbor Bryan Bedford (Dylan McDermott). They do go out but Dory just doesn't want a relationship.
Susan is beginning to question whether Kriss is THE Santa Claus when jolly old Saint Nick is caught up in a scandal! The disgruntled ex-Santa (who apparently hangs out at a Santa bar...I'm not kidding, a whole group of Santas were drinking in a bar) sets up Kriss by first antagonizing him at the Cole's Christmas display and then following him when he leaves, suggesting that he gets his jollies from touching children.
That's right folks: in this family film, the subject of pedophilia is made a main point.
So angry does Kriss get that he whacks him with his cane. Conveniently, two minions of Shopper's Express just happen to be there, along with a photographer. The whole thing shocks the country (assuming the country generally cared about one department store Santa who really hadn't done all that much to merit the attention he got, but whatever). The bad press (and worse photo) get him locked up with the potential to be sent away to a nuthouse, but Bryan, who happens to be a lawyer, decides to defend Kriss. Dory for her part is furious that Cole's could so willingly feed Kriss to the lions. Now, Bryan himself doesn't believe Kriss is Santa Claus and despite all the witnesses he can produce, cannot find a way to prove his case.
It takes Susan and a one-dollar bill to prove that Kriss Kringle IS THE Santa Claus.
In the end, Kriss is freed, Bryan and Dory are essentially hoodwinked into getting married right after Midnight Mass, and Susan gets what she's wanted: a home, a father, and a baby brother (the last one though will take some work and some time).
As I watched, two thoughts kept coming to me over and over again. The first was that this Miracle on 34th Street was trying TOO hard to be sweet and cute and, more surprisingly, trying too hard to be smarter than the original (which is was not, not by a long shot). The second was that it was essentially directionless, drifting, drifting, drifting, with no idea what it wanted to be.
In regards to the first part, we see this in how the characters are. We know for example that Landbergh is EVIL because when we first see him, ominous music is playing, and he is alone in a gray office. In regards to the second, what Landbergh's beef with Cole's is never appears to play a large part of the story. In fact, for large chunks of it, we forget that Landbergh's machinations are suppose to relate to the goings-on. We see him at the beginning, plotting...something, and at the end, when he's enraged that New York State has declared Kriss THE Santa Claus.
Why he ever cared is pretty much left to our own imagination.
This I imagine is due to SO MUCH TIME being wasted on the romance between Dory and Bryan, a romance that feels as artificial as the snow inside Cole's displays. Perkins and especially McDermott are pretty to look at, but the characters never felt as if they'd do more than share pleasantries in an elevator, let alone get married. It's as if writer John Hughes (yes, THAT John Hughes) decided Miracle on 34th Street was a romantic drama about neighbors than it was about whether or not Santa Claus is real. Hughes couldn't allow the romance to build up gradually, but instead decided they were to be secretly in love with each other and just went with that.
Now, I know I'm going to get grief over this, but I did not like Mara Wilson in this. Oh, she's cute enough and a competent child actress (and to her credit, she might be among the last child stars who followed Shirley Temple's example as opposed to a Lindsay Lohan), but I felt Susan came across as rather obnoxious, one whose wisdom came primarily from lecturing everyone about things rather than from a child's own unique perspective. Wilson's Susan was someone I found unlikable, and a bit disengaged at times (her first scene where she videotapes a message to her mother coming across as slightly monotonous than cutesy).
Let me dive into how Sir Dickie was. I found his efforts to be cutesy and giggly more forced than endearing. Hughes' decision to have his Kriss Kringle talk about how The Easter Bunny winters in New Zealand or how he got good advise from the Tooth Fairy was a disastrous one. IF we accept that Santa Claus is real (which is what Miracle on 34th Street wants us to think), we're now left with a few choices regarding Santa's 'friends'. One: the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy are also real. Two: this man in bonkers. Three: Santa is lying to us for his own amusement.
Who here can accept One? The film pushes against us accepting Two, and the way Sir Dickie is directed to deliver his lines (courtesy of Les Mayfield), Three is wrong. So, what to make of Santa introducing E.B. and the Cavity Queen? Perhaps Hughes' co-screenwriter, George Seaton, could have restrained him with these odd touches. However, that would have been difficult, given that despite being credited as co-screenwriter to this version of his original Miracle on 34th Street, George Seaton had been dead for 15 years by the time cameras rolled.
Am I the only one who thinks giving screenwriting credit to a man who'd been DEAD for a decade-and-a-half before the film was made is just a trifle bizarre?
At a certain point, even I thought Kriss Kringle was insane, and that's the LAST thing you want an audience to think.
The resolution is both bizarre and slightly insulting to everyone concerned. The judge is about to rule against Kringle when Susan asks to approach the bench. She hands His Honor a Christmas card with a one-dollar bill inside. My first thought was that she was going to try and bribe him, but the actual end result is far more ghastly.
The motto of the United States, "In God We Trust", is circled. From this, His Honor declares that because the federal government (in this case, the Treasury Department) can put its faith in something that has not been proven, the State of New York can equally put its faith in something that has not been proven as well. Henceforth, Santa Claus is real, and Kriss Kringle is THE Santa Claus.
Somehow, I find this legal reasoning idiotic and a desperate way to get around the more logical conclusion the original came up with. However, the underlying logic behind the ruling should astonish and infuriate all believers.
In other words, the message this movie gives is this: it's OK to believe Santa is real, because the U.S. government believes in imaginary beings too (like God). Good message towards the Judeo-Christian audience you're targeting, telling them God is on the same level of reality as the Tooth Fairy.
I found this Miracle on 34th Street a little too cutesy and too deliberately sweet for its own good. Everyone is playing to be whimsical, not real. As much as I loath to compare the original with remakes, what made the original work was that there was always an element of doubt about the true identity of Kriss Kringle. Even at the end, we were never totally, absolutely sure if he was THE Santa. This one doesn't, forcing us to conclude that he IS Santa or that he IS insane.
Tooth Fairy. Easter Bunny. I wish John Hughes hadn't tried so hard to be clever. He was much better than this woeful misfire.
Maureen O'Hara was right...this IS a flop, and the best thing about the remake of Miracle on 34th Street is that in fifty years time, few will remember or watch it, while the original will always be THE version we'll always go back to.

Proponents say the new specifications will pave the way for the replacement of passwords, which are frequently lost, stolen, or hacked.
The Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance, a consortium of nearly 100 security vendors and enterprises that proposes to create a standard method for user authentication, published its first specifications for industry review last Tuesday.
The first products to be built on the specifications, Nok Nok Labs' S3 Authentication Suite, were released on Thursday.
Proponents of the FIDO guidelines, which are designed to help systems find the most effective method of authenticating a user, say the new specifications will pave the way for the replacement of passwords, which are frequently lost, stolen, or hacked.
"One of the clear advantages of the FIDO approach is that it offers users a consistent experience across multiple services and user devices, a range of multi-factor schemes, and maintains privacy by using distinct authentication keys for different services," says Andrew Young, vice president of product management for authentication at SafeNet. "The FIDO Alliance, by helping to standardize multi-factor practices, will contribute to the formation of a broader identity framework based on greater trust and better security in both consumer and enterprise environments."
The FIDO Alliance proposes to create common "plumbing" for authentication, creating a single method for logging onto a secure system, regardless of the authentication technologies used. When an access request is received under FIDO, the systems involved seek out the most effective method of authentication that can be used by both the server and the client and trigger it, eliminating the need for all users to conform to a single authentication mechanism or rely on passwords.
Phillip Dunkelberger, president & CEO of Nok Nok Labs, tells InformationWeek why the time is ripe for a password free computing experience.

Wood-look tile already transformed the bathroom and kitchen floor. Now it's moving onto the walls and the backsplash. Wood tile backsplash is an up-and-coming trend that's taking the design world by surprise.
It's a brilliant idea. You get water-resistance, easy clean-abilty and a wood visual that looks so real, your friends will do a double take when you tell them it's tile.
Here's some wood tile backsplash ideas for your trend-forward home.
Wood looks great just about any which way, but putting your wood planks in a pattern makes the backsplash pop.
These similar patterns are timeless classics, but are also the patterns of the moment. You can't go wrong with either of these attention-grabbing arrangements. The backsplash is the perfect place to use a linear, diagonal pattern. It sets it apart from the rest of the room, especially if you have wood-look tile on the floor as well.
You might be surprised how well wood-look tile plays with accents. It is neutral enough to take on bright colored tile accents and interesting enough to support a simple glass mosaic. Combining wood-look with an accent tile on the backsplash lets you get that custom look that brings luxury to your kitchen or bath.
Wood-look tile has several types to choose from. Whether you like a classic, clean oak look or an aged, reclaimed look, tile has what you want. Daltile's Season Wood has a natural, weathered look in several colors—all with grey accents.
Saddle Brook has a slightly less aged look than Season Wood but accomplishes the warmth that reclaimed wood offers. Four classic colors work with any backsplash design and complement overall kitchen and bath schemes.
Because it's tile, these wood-looks do have to be grouted. But that might offer you more versatility than you'd imagine.
If you love traditional wood looks, make sure to get a tile with a rectified edge. This tile has precision cut edges that let you get away with a very narrow grout joint—as little as 1/8 or 3/16 depending on how you lay out the tile. Use coordinating grout that is about the same color as the tile or a little darker (the grout will likely darken with time).
If you're more interested in doing something unique, go with a wider grout joint and use contrasting grout. It will break up the wood grain and call out the pattern you use on your backsplash.
Make your kitchen or bath a bit unexpected with a wood tile backsplash.

Snake-Handling Preachers Open Up About 'Takin' Up Serpents' Pastor Jamie Coots says his Pentecostal church is really not that different from other churches. "We sing, we preach, we testify, take up offerings, pray for the sick, everything like everybody else does. Just, every once in a while, snakes are handled," he says.

< Snake-Handling Preachers Open Up About 'Takin' Up Serpents'
October 4, 20134:37 PM ET
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Melissa Block.
Snake handlers dwell at the edge of the spiritual frontier. They take up venomous snakes to prove their faith in God. They're part of the Holiness movement, a subset of the Pentecostal Church. And while mostly hidden, the practice is widespread in parts of Appalachia. NPR's John Burnett visited two snake-handling pastors who explained how handling serpents fulfills them spiritually.
JOHN BURNETT, BYLINE: This is the story of a community of people who are willing to die for their faith, three times a week in church.
JAMIE COOTS: The scent in the snake room is strong, so I'll go ahead and tell you that. A lot of ladies don't care much for it.
BURNETT: Pastor Jamie Coots keeps his serpents locked in a building behind his house. The air in the snake room is warm, musky and malevolent. The dark-complexion pit vipers lay about in glass cages. The rattlers announce our arrival.
COOTS: Got rattlesnakes, the timber rattler and the canebrake. We have northern copperheads. And that's the only two cottonmouths we have. I think in this cage alone, there's like 21 copperheads.
BURNETT: Jamie Coots is a well-known snake handler here in southeastern Kentucky. He's 41, stout and bald with a Van Dyke beard, the third generation of Coots to take up serpents.
COOTS: Taking up serpents, to me, it's just showing that God has power over something that he created that does have the potential of injuring you or taking your life.
BURNETT: Brother Jamie lives in the coal-mining town of Middlesboro, Kentucky. His church is a simple, white, rectangular affair called the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name. Like most snake-handling churches, the congregation is small, about two dozen people, and most of them are family. Coots says they're really not that different from other churches.
COOTS: We sing, we preach, we testify, take up offerings, pray for the sick, you know, everything like everybody else does, just every once in a while snakes are handled.
BURNETT: There are an estimated 125 snake-handling churches scattered across Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Appalachia, where the tradition is strongest. Taking up serpents is against the law everywhere but West Virginia, though in most states it's a misdemeanor the authorities don't bother with.
Today, the major Pentecostal denominations denounce snake handling, which dates back about a hundred years. Serpent handlers draw their peculiar devotion from the Gospel of Mark, from a passage that most New Testament scholars consider either symbolic language or irrelevant.
COOTS: In the 16th chapter of Saint Mark, of course, is when Jesus, you know, told his disciples: In my name shall they cast out devils, they shall speak with new tongues, they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing...
BURNETT: These are the five signs often practiced in snake-handling churches: casting out demons, speaking in tongues, taking up serpents, healing by faith and drinking poison. Some people also sip strychnine or lye to test their belief in God. Coots has been bitten nine times by venomous snakes. Each time, he refused medical attention. Half of his right middle finger is gone as a result of a fang from a yellow rattler.
In 1995, a woman who was bit in his church refused to go to the hospital. She died on Coots' couch while they prayed over her. Such is the conviction of his belief that Jamie Coots has agreed not to call EMS if his own 21-year-old son, Little Cody, gets bitten in a service.
COOTS: He has been bit five times by cottonmouths, and he has already told me, Dad, I'll never go to a doctor.
BURNETT: Ralph Hood is a psychology professor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga who has documented hundreds of hours of serpent-handling over 25 years. To the skeptics, he says the snakes are not milked, defanged or in any way made less deadly.
RALPH HOOD: But it's kind of like playing Russian roulette. The more frequently you handle, the more likely you are to get a bite. Serpents don't get tamed.
BURNETT: Having said that, Hood has brought herpetologists to services to try and understand why it is that handlers can pick up reptiles with impunity, even walk on them barefoot, and receive so few snakebites.
HOOD: All I know is that these people do handle, and most of the time they are not bit and they can do what scientists think is not likely. Nobody has a good explanation.
BURNETT: National Geographic Television followed Coots and another snake-handling preacher off and on for a year. The documentary series "Snake Salvation" is airing this fall on Tuesday nights.
(SOUNDBITE OF DOCUMENTARY, 'SNAKE SALVATION')
MATTHEW TESTA: Snake handling fascinated me because it's such an extreme gesture of faith.
BURNETT: Matthew Testa is the executive producer.
TESTA: We set out to tell this story from the snake handlers' point of view to really humanize them, not to judge them, and to show how important religion is in their daily lives with their daily struggles.
BURNETT: It's nighttime. The cicadas are out. Testa and I are talking in the darkened parking lot of the Tabernacle Church of God in LaFollette, Tennessee. From Jamie Coots' church, it's a short drive through the Cumberland Gap. The pastor here is Andrew Hamblin, a lanky, charismatic 22-year-old who is the other preacher featured in the TV series.
Hamblin wants to update snakes in church. He posts photos of himself with snakes on his Facebook page, and he aspires to pastor the first serpent-handling mega-church. But his members are a little tired of the media, so he asked me to please record outside of his sanctuary.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
BURNETT: Snake-handling services are intense and high-energy. One writer called them improvisational, spiritual jazz. Hamblin, a talented guitarist, strums and sings gospel for the 20 folks in his congregation. In the Holiness tradition, the women all wear long skirts, no makeup, and their hair is uncut. When Brother Andrew warms up, he stomps and jumps and bellows into the microphone about salvation. About halfway through the service, he puts down his Fender and picks up a pair of copperheads.
The snakes are twisted around each other. Their entwined heads sway in space as he slings them carelessly back and forth. At one point, he wipes the sweat from his forehead with the coiled reptiles. The sight is terrifying. It's mesmerizing. Hamblin wears an expression of unbearable ecstasy. After the two-hour service, we sit on the altar and I ask Hamblin, what does it feels like?
: The feeling to take up serpents is unexplainable. It's better felt than told. It's peace that surpasseth(ph) all understanding to know that you're standing there rather with death in your hand and the anointment of God has protected you to let you do that.
BURNETT: Snake handlers are notoriously private. Andrew Hamblin, like his mentor Jamie Coots, says he opened his church to the National Geographic film crew - as he did for this interview - to educate people and dispel stereotypes.
: You know, our message is not handle snakes, handle snakes, handle snakes. But our message is be saved by the blood of Christ. We're not a cult. We're not freaks. We're Christians.
(SOUNDBITE OF CHURCH SERVICE)
BURNETT: Both Jamie Coots and Andrew Hamblin have a parting message: Their churches are open for services three nights a week, and everyone is welcome. John Burnett, NPR News.

Once you decide on a new system, they can get it installed quickly so that you can restore comfort in the building.
Not everybody has a way to heat his or her building when the furnace or heat pump breaks down so it's important that your heating and cooling technicians are able to evaluate the condition of your system, locate issues, and make repairs as quickly as possible. As experts, they will know what it takes to get your system up and running and they can find the simplest solution.

T his chapter discusses a number of diseases of major importance that are not dealt with elsewhere: acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a disease characterized by a defect in the body's natural immune system; plague, of great historical importance but fortunately now uncommon in the United States; three infectious diseases—Hantavirus, tularemia and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever; and seven tropical diseases that afflict millions of people in the warmer regions of the world and that occasionally occur elsewhere—malaria and yellow fever, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, schistosomiasis, and leprosy.
M ost people living in the temperate climates of North America and Europe are spared the ravages of some of the most lethal and debilitating diseases known to mankind. They include malaria, which probably has killed more people than any other disease in history, yellow fever, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, filariasis, schistosomiasis, and leprosy.
While many persons probably have never heard of some of these diseases and at least a few doctors might have trouble in diagnosing the symptoms, they affect hundreds of millions of people each year and could pose a threat to persons living in any part of the world. They are generally classed as tropical diseases, but so-called tropical or exotic diseases have been prevented from spreading into temperate regions partly because of alert medical care and preventive measures by public health experts. Malaria, for example, has been found as far north as the Arctic Circle, as far south as the tip of South America, and at one time was a disease of epidemic proportions in such northern cities as Philadelphia and London. These diseases have altered the course of history, ending the life of Alexander the Great as he tried to conquer the world, nipping in the bud Napoleon's plans to retake Canada from the English, defeating French efforts to build the Panama Canal, and contributing to the black-slave trade between Africa and the Americas.
The major tropical diseases are caused by a variety of organisms, including viruses, protozoa, and worms. Some are transmitted by insect bites, some by contact with contaminated water, and others, like leprosy, are spread by means that remain a mystery despite centuries of medical experience with millions of cases of the disease. Space does not permit detailed discussion of all tropical diseases; only those regarded by medical authorities as among the most significant to world health are described in this chapter.
A number of different sulfone drugs have been found effective against the mycobacterium that apparently causes leprosy, but the drugs also produce such side effects as fever and anemia. When intolerance to sulfones occurs, other medications are offered, including thiourea, mercaptan, and streptomycin. Steroid hormones are used to help control adverse reactions.

Q: How to type hint dictionary for pandas pd.DataFrame.from_dict()? I am stuck trying to write a type hint for a dictionary for pandas pd.DataFrame.from_dict() function.
I am currently on python 3.11.0.
Relevant module versions:

*

*pandas 1.5.1

*pandas-stubs 1.2.0.62

*mypy 0.982

With the following code: (taken from the documentation).
from typing import Dict

import pandas as pd

data: Dict[str, list[int | str]] = {"col_1": [3, 2, 1, 0], "col_2": ["a", "b", "c", "d"]}
pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)

I get this error from mypy Argument 1 to "from_dict" of "DataFrame" has incompatible type "Dict[str, List[Union[int, str]]]"; expected "Dict[Union[Optional[Hashable], Union[int, str]], Union[Union[Union[ExtensionArray, ndarray[Any, Any]], Index, Series], Iterable[Any], Dict[Union[Optional[Hashable], Union[int, str]], Any]]]"
I dont see what I am missing in the typehint?
I expect to get no error from mypy.

A: I'm not sure why you're getting the error, but it runs for me when I make a few small changes:
from typing import Dict, Union, List

data = Dict[str, List[Union[int, str]]]
data = {"col_1": [3, 2, 1, 0], "col_2": ["a", "b", "c", "d"]}
pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data)

Japanese space elevators, coming soon.
Here's what I learned from Twitter this morning.
@CreatorsProject The Smithsonian is getting way high tech (sort of like The Jeffersonian) and using 3D printing to replicate, with remarkable accuracy, some pieces in their permanent collection.
Also, there's a LiveJournal called The Jeffersonian that consists of Bones fan fiction.
@Gothamist There's a complete bar lurking behind that brown, boarded up building on N. 5th and Berry. It used to be called The Ship's Mast, and of course, Gothamist's commenters are predicting that it will soon be filled with suspenders and edison bulbs.
@andylocal According to Wired, the Japanese are planning on building a space elevator by the year 2050. Japan, where the future is already happening.


TrillYoga has long been my movement to show yoga is for everyone; the same way I think wellness should be. It also is built on a community of people who handle wellness in their own way, as we are all trying to be the best versions of ourselves. #WellnessWednesdays is my way of sharing other personalities and stories so we can all see how wellness comes in many different styles.
So for today, I'll get myself out of the way // feel free to comment anyone else you'd like to see take part in the series.
I'm a yoga teacher and wellness educator, with a heavy focus on mental health and the founder of TrillYoga, a movement built to break stereotypes of yoga in a creative, artistic, and genuine way.
Wellness is whatever makes you feel good, and doesn't hurt you. Many of the unhealthy things we do are self destructive behaviors that come from a place of us acting out other pains. Wellness is personal, and starts with an intention.
Yoga. Deep breathing. Travel. Time with people who make me laugh. Nature. And lifting weights.
When my dog is fed, the people I love know they are loved, and I'm making sure to meditate daily. The best me is secure, empowered, not glued to a mobile phone, traveling and loving... and possibly on an island.
Drink more water. Get off the internet. Read more, love more, and move your body more. Yoga is optional but highly recommended.
BIRTHDAY // October 7th. Libra gang strong.
BREAKFAST // Oatmeal with almonds and hot tea; very geriatric.
SEASON // Summer or Fall.
BAD HABIT // Loving this one man.
GOOD HABIT // Loving this one man.
FEAR // Missed moments chasing something greater...when there is really nothing greater than this moment.
YOGA POSE // Sun salutations.

Happy Sad
The Addams Family (musical)
Happy Sad (song)
Happy Sad is the third album by singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, released in 1969. It was recorded at Elektra Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California and was produced by former Lovin' Spoonful members Zal Yanovsky and, coincidentally, his subsequent replacement Jerry Yester. It marked the beginning of Buckley's experimental period, as it incorporated elements of jazz that he had never used before. Many of the songs here represent a departure from the binary form that dominated much of his previous work. The sound of the album is characterized by David Friedman's vibraphone, an instrument which gives the album a more relaxed tone than Buckley's earlier work. The songs are much longer than on previous releases and this style continued through to later works. The vocals on the album are more drawn out than earlier performances and this represents the beginning of Buckley using his voice like an instrument. The lyrics on Happy Sad represent a change as Buckley stopped working with Larry Beckett, his lyricist on the two previous albums Tim Buckley and Goodbye and Hello, and began writing the lyrics himself. Buckley's self-penned efforts stand in contrast to Beckett's occasionally political and literary-style work. Buckley would also go on to author all his own material on the following two albums.

The Addams Family is a musical comedy with music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa and a book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The show is based upon The Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams in his single-panel gag cartoons, which depict a ghoulish American family with an affinity for all things macabre. Numerous film and television adaptations of Addams' cartoons exist, but the musical, which is the first stage show based on the characters, is based upon the cartoons rather than the television and film characters.The Addams Family is also the first production produced by Elephant Eye Theatricals.
After a tryout in Chicago, the show opened on Broadway in April 2010. The original cast featured Nathan Lane as Gomez and Bebe Neuwirth as Morticia. An original Broadway cast recording was released on June 8, 2010.
The Broadway production closed on December 31, 2011. A revised national tour of North America began in September 2011.
In 2007, the producers announced that they had obtained the rights from the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation to create a musical adaptation of The Addams Family for Broadway, and they anticipated an opening during the 2009–2010 season after an out-of-town tryout. This was the first time that Charles Addams' comic creations were licensed to serve as the basis for a stage production. The musical's lead producers were Stuart Oken and Roy Furman. In addition to Oken and Furman, Vivek Tiwary also joined The Addams Family musical's team of producers. The Addams Foundation reportedly retained control over the show's content and insisted that, instead of drawing the plot from The Addams Family television series or films, the production team devise an original musical based solely on Addams' cartoons.

Lankayan Island is a virtually uninhabited island, located deep into the Sulu Seas off the North-Eastern coast of Sabah in Malaysia. There is only one resort offering access to these unspoiled waters.

The normal route to the island is through Kota Kinabalu International airport. here are also direct flights to Sandakan from KL on AirAsia. From KK, a connecting flight takes you to Sandakan where a transfer is made to the jetty to board the twin engine fibre glass boat to Lankayan Island, a journey of about 75 minutes on good seas. Note that there is only one boat transfer to Lankayan each day, departing Sandakan jetty at 10.00 hrs. Depending on your arrival time in Sandakan, you may need to spend a night in either KK or Sandakan.
Make sure that you have a look at this short video showing different aspects of the resort.
Lankayan Island is a small island fully covered with tropical vegetation, featuring tall casuarina trees and the ubiquitous pandan screwpine. The island is pristine, not having suffered human occupation for long, and has some interesting fauna subjects. After a dive, the place for relaxation is the upper lounge which overlooks the western beach and jetty. Here, the tourist can enjoy some sun with a favourite cool drink. A TV room is available for viewing the day's video shots or other footage.
Despite the remoteness, Lankayan offers all the amenities of a tropical resort.
Visitors stay in bungalows, constructed from local timbers to blend into the natural surroundings. Twin/triple bungalows are available in Chalet accommodation. All chalets offer direct access to the beach. The chalets are well appointed, with hot bath and clean water from the RO system. Power is available with 220 V or 110 V.
In total, the resort accommodates between 40 and 50 guests at a time.
The restaurant is spacious and serves some of the best and freshest seafood available.

Lankayan Island is part of the Sugud Islands Marine Conservation Area (SIMCA) which covers approximately 46300 ha. It was declared a conservation area in December 2001. The area is jointly managed by Sabah State Wildlife Department and private sector representatives. Lankayan is also governed by an extensive management plan to ensure sustainable use of resources and environmentally friendly tourism policies. Among other things, SIMCA representatives enforce a no fishing policy in the area, protect Turtles and their eggs, ensure a no anchoring policy for boats and limit tourist numbers and tourist facilities. Lankayan Resort used environmental consultants to design and implement waste management and recycling methods, build rainwater collection areas and ensure continued health of island flora. The results are positive and visible – healthy corals and rich vegetation.
