A Guerra Medieval foi evoluindo ao longo do tempo, forçada por mudanças nas estruturas sociais, na tecnologia, cultura e infraestrutura política das nações-Estado. Desde o período clássico, houve uma grande evolução em táticas militares, como no papel da cavalaria e artilharia. As fortificações na Idade Média foram também mudando, com castelos se espalhando pela Europa e depois para a Ásia Ocidental. O advento dos canhões, perto do fim da era medieval, foi tornando os castelos inúteis, assim como a aparição de armas de fogo menores mais práticas acabou tornando obsoleta a armadura clássica medieval já no século XVI.

Recrutamento

No começo da Idade Média era obrigação de cada nobre responder ao chamado para a batalha com seu próprio equipamento, arqueiros e infantaria. Esse sistema descentralizado era necessário devido a ordem social da época, o que levava a forças heterogêneas com qualidade de treinamento, equipamento e habilidades variadas. Quanto mais recursos um nobre tinha acesso, melhor suas tropas seriam, tipicamente.

Normalmente, os exércitos feudais tinham sua base formada por cavaleiros altamente treinados e as tropas de suas terras, mercenários contratados para campanhas militares e recrutas cumprindo suas obrigações feudais (que tipicamente tinham pouca ou nenhuma qualidade). Normalmente as cidades eram protegidas por milícias locais.

Com o crescimento dos governos centralizados, um retorno para os exércitos civis e de mercenários do período clássico começou, com o recrutamento entre os camponeses crescendo em importância. Acredita-se que os melhores soldados de infantaria eram os filhos de yeomans com terras, como os arqueiros ingleses e os lanceiros suíços. A Inglaterra tinha um dos Estados mais centralizados perto do final da idade média e seus exércitos que lutaram durante a Guerra dos Cem Anos eram, na sua maioria, formados por profissionais pagos.

Em teoria, cada homem inglês deveria cumprir suas obrigações militares feudais por quarenta dias. Esse tempo não era o suficiente para a maioria das campanhas militares, especialmente aquelas no continente. A jugada (uma especie de tributo pago em bens agrícolas) foi introduzida, onde a maioria dos ingleses pagavam para pular o serviço militar e o dinheiro arrecadado era gasto para recrutar mercenários. De fato, durante o período da Alta Idade Média, a noção de "exército nacional" era quase que inexistente, com a esmagadora maioria das tropas (especialmente da infantaria) sendo formadas por mercenários pagos. Assim, o mercado de mercenários na Europa era extremamente lucrativo graças a grande procura, especialmente a partir do século XII.

Na Itália medieval, as cidades da península itálica (especialmente no norte) dependiam de forças mercenárias para lutar, ao invés das milícias locais. Devido aos conflitos constantes, os mercenários se tornaram soldados profissionais com um pagamento regular. Mercenários tendiam a ser eficientes soldados, especialmente quando combinados com forças permanentes, mas na Itália eles formavam quase todo o corpo dos exércitos da região. Isso se provaria problemático; em tempos de guerra, mercenários tendiam a ser mais confiáveis do que tropas regulares, mas em tempos de paz eles representavam uma ameaça, na maioria dos casos, com risco de se voltarem contra seus contratantes. Com as cidades-estado italianas se baseando apenas em mercenários para lutar por eles, os condotieros eram considerados bem eficientes para fazer guerra contra a maioria dos inimigos.

Foi somente a partir do século XVI que a noção de "exército nacional", recrutado dentre a massa camponesa, ganhou força, embora o uso de mercenários nunca tenha caído em desuso. Manter tropas permanentes no final da Idade Média foi ficando mais fácil, especialmente devido a melhor burocracia estatal, avanços no sistema de coleta de impostos e governos mais centralizados e eficientes.

Armas da Idade Média

Durante a maior parte da Idade Média, a tecnologia de armamentos mudou muito pouco em relação à do mundo antigo, remanescendo principalmente variantes da clava, faca, lança, machado, arco e flecha. Uma importante inovação foi o uso da lança por um cavaleiro pesado montado. O cavaleiro montado era significativamente mais potente do que qualquer cavalaria do mundo antigo. O equivalente mais próximo na Antigüidade pode ter sido a cavalaria de escolta de Alexandre, o Grande.

No século X, a Europa já havia superado os Antigos na maioria das áreas, inclusive em relação ao armamento. A evolução do cavaleiro pesado causou inovações correspondentes na defesa contra esse tipo de cavalaria. Isso resultou em novas espécies de armas de haste para se defender ou atacar cavaleiros.

O arco longo e a besta eram inovações do Ocidente. A besta, entretanto, já era conhecida pelos chineses.

A tecnologia revolucionária da Idade Média foi o desenvolvimento de armas com pólvora, tanto canhões quanto armas leves como o canhão de mão, o arcabuz e o mosquete.

Armas de combate corpo-a-corpo

Os soldados desmontados com armas de combate corpo-a-corpo eram o terceiro principal componente dos exércitos medievais, junto com a cavalaria e as tropas com armas de arremesso. Os escaramuçadores lutavam o combate corpo-a-corpo e eram importantes tanto em batalhas intensas quanto em cercos. A infantaria era composta de camponeses, soldados comuns, e cavaleiros desmontados.

Os Francos da Idade das Trevas lutavam com um machado de arremesso chamado francisca, termo que proveio do nome da tribo. Seus vizinhos, os Saxões, lutavam com uma grande faca com lâmina em um só lado chamada seax ou scramasax, da qual retiraram seu nome.

Com o desenvolvimento do cavaleiro pesado veio a espada pesada, que também era usada em combates corpo-a-corpo a pé. As variantes da espada incluem uma versão de duas mãos, a qual requeria grande espaço para ser manejada. Os soldados a pé empunhavam uma variedade de armas, incluindo os machados (de uma ou duas mãos), as maças, os martelos combinados ou não com uma espada curta, e os manguais (Uma variante da maça era uma bola de pontas presa a um cabo por uma corrente). Ao passo que as armaduras evoluíram para reduzir o efeito de golpes de espada, as armas perfurantes ou de esmagamento se tornaram mais favoráveis.

Armas de haste

A lança básica era uma arma útil ao longo da Idade Média pois era barata de se fazer e simples de usar. Os soldados desmontados comuns e camponeses podiam ser armados com lanças e apinhados ao serviço militar. Na maior parte dos casos, este expediente era de pouca serventia, mas com um pouco de experiência e algum treinamento, os grandes corpos de lanceiros podiam ser efetivos.

As armas de haste evoluíram ao longo de período medieval e, eventualmente, chegaram a um ponto em que formações de tropas desmontadas treinadas no seu uso eram extremamente eficazes. As armas de haste avançadas consistiam em uma ponta de lança com uma ou mais laterais de armas abaixo desse ponto. Essa arma adicional poderia ser uma longa e larga lâmina, um machado, um podão, um martelo, ou uma ponta.

As longas armas de haste evoluíram em resposta aos cavaleiros montados e resultaram em uma volta a formações parecidas com a antiga falange grega. Os cavalos não atacariam uma disciplinada formação de homens a pé apontando armas de haste estendidas. Uma densa formação de armas de haste mantidas altas também serviam como alguma proteção contra flechas.

Os soldados a pé primeiro aprenderam a permanecer atrás de fossos, trincheiras e estacas de madeira para evitar a cavalaria. Depois, aprenderam a manejar lanças, piques, alabardas e outras armas de haste a fim de se precaver da cavalaria. Isso permitiu à formação se movimentar e carregar as estacas anticavalaria. Em uma escaramuça, as variadas peças na extremidade da haste eram usadas para arrancar os cavaleiros de suas montarias, ou causar ferimentos ao cavaleiro ou ao cavalo. Apesar de homens com armaduras não se encontrarem indefesos quando derrubados ao chão, como se poderia imaginar, eles estavam em desvantagem, ao menos temporariamente, em relação aos soldados usando pouca ou nenhum armadura antes que pudessem se levantar.

Armas de cerco

Mangonéis
A manganela era um tipo de catapulta ou máquina de sítio usada na era medieval (Idade Média) para lançar projéteis contra paredes de castelos. Sua precisão era muito melhor que a de um trabuco (que foi introduzido mais tarde, logo antes da descoberta e do uso difundido das armas de pólvora).

A manganela lança projéteis em uma trajetória mais baixa e em velocidade mais elevada do que o trabuco com a intenção de destruir muralhas e fortificações, mas também foi muito utilizada nos campos de batalha.

A força do onagro provém da tensão de suas cordas retorcidas, similarmente a uma balista, porém o onagro tem somente um braço enquanto a balista tem dois. Os romanos melhoraram extremamente a maneabilidade do onagro adicionando rodas à sua base. As rodas e o peso leve do onagro facilitaram a sua mobilidade.

A palavra manganela é derivada da palavra grega "magganon" que significa "motor da guerra". O tipo exato de máquina descrita com o nome "manganela" é motivo de disputas.

Trabucos
Foi uma arma de cerco empregada na Idade Média com a finalidade de esmagar os muros de alvenaria ou para atirar projéteis por cima deles. É chamado às vezes de trabuco de contrapeso, para se distinguir de outra arma, o trabuco de tração, criado antes do trabuco de contrapeso.

O trabuco de contrapeso apareceu em países cristãos e muçulmanos ao redor do Mediterrâneo. Ele podia lançar 140 quilos de projéteis a altas velocidades em fortificações inimigas a até meia milha de distância e eram relativamente precisos. Já houve relatos de que corpos infectados por doenças foram lançados numa tentativa de infectar o povo sob ataque, uma guerra biológica adaptada à idade média. Os trabucos foram inventados na China, aproximadamente em 400 a.C., tendo sido levado até a Europa em 600 d.C., e não foi abandonada até o surgimento da pólvora.

O primeiro registro claro de um trabuco de contrapeso provém de um estudioso islâmico, Mardi Al-Tarsusi, que escreveu: Trabucos são máquinas inventadas por demônios incrédulos. Isso sugere que pelo tempo de Saladino, os muçulmanos já estavam familiarizados com o contrapeso, mas não acredita-se que eles o inventaram.

Bestas
É uma arma com a aparência de uma espingarda, com um arco de flechas, acoplado na ponta da coronha, accionada por gatilho, que projeta setas, dardos similares a flechas. Ela foi bastante usada no século XVI e chegou a coexistir com e depois foi substituída pelos mosquetes, primeiras armas de fogo. Hoje, continua a ser fabricada, pois é usada, em algumas partes do mundo, por caçadores. A palavra besta teria sido sincopada da italiano balestra, que por sua vez deriva do latim ballistra.

O lendário suíço Guilherme Tell, para se livrar da prisão, teve que atirar uma flecha numa maçã colocada sobre a cabeça do próprio filho. Tratava-se de uma ordália, ou prova divina de sua inocência (caso acertasse) ou culpa (se errasse), no conceito do direito medieval europeu.

Justin Theroux reportedly almost died on his honeymoon
by Jessica Arnold

Theroux revealed he almost died on his honeymoon with Aniston.
The couple celebrated their nuptials in Bora Bora. And while their trip mostly seemed like the vacation of a lifetime, Theroux explained on Live with Kelly and Michael that there was one instance that made the trip cringe-worthy.
More: Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's relationship through the years
As reported by E! News, Theroux decided to do some underwater scuba training during his vacation. After spending a day learning, he decided to bring out a group of friends for an underwater adventure. But the instructor they were assigned was different than the one Theroux had previously learned from. And there was a language barrier problem that made the second day a bit difficult.
Despite that, the group was excited to see some "pretty fish" and down they went.
Theroux continued that when the group was significantly deep and far from the boat, he noticed that his oxygen tank was in the red, meaning he was about to run out of air. Theroux signaled to return to the surface but the instructor either didn't understand or ignored his request and had him continue with the group.

Theroux tried to relax and continue along but realized a bit later that his oxygen supply was almost empty and he was in "severe danger," according to E!
This time, the instructor took note and reacted with an emergency respirator, which caused water to flood Theroux's mouth.
"Why are we doing an emergency respirator when Earth is right there?" Theroux recounted of his thoughts at the time.
It turns out the instructor was so far from the boat that if they had gone up to the surface, it would have been a long and tiring swim rather than just staying under the ocean.

Luckily, despite all of the mishaps, Theroux was ultimately unharmed and was able to continue enjoying his vacation with Aniston.

UPS worker arrested after video shows him stealing $11,000 cash from package sent by scammed elderly woman
FLORIDA — On Tuesday, March 10, 2020, detectives from the Polk County Sheriff's Office arrested 34-year-old Michael Rowland of Lakeland, who learned about a large amount of cash in a package, removed it, and then repackaged the box.
The chain of events began in mid-February, when an 87-year-old Lakeland woman received several scam calls from someone claiming to be with the United States Social Security Office. Her memory of the details of the calls were hazy, but she eventually sent $11,000.00 in a package addressed to California.
The package was dropped off at the UPS Store at 5337 North Socrum Loop Road in Lakeland.
The following day, family members realized the victim was being scammed when they became aware of another phone call she received in which the caller demanded an additional $10,000.00 be sent.
The family prevented the second shipment and contacted the UPS Store to have the first shipment of the package stopped and returned.
When the family received the package on February 26, 2020, they found the package sealed inside of another box, and it no longer contained the money. At that time, they contacted the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Detectives viewed security video from the store that showed store employee Michael Rowland receive the box from the victim. He is then seen taking the box into a back room, opening it with a box-cutter, removing the cash, and then re-sealing the box within a non-UPS box that he got from outside the store. The package was then prepped for shipment.
Michael Rowland was arrested and charged with Grand Theft ($10,000-$20,000), an F3. He was transported to the Polk County Jail.
Rowland refused to tell detectives what he did with the money.
Sheriff Grady Judd said, "Our suspect was caught on video taking an elderly woman's money from a package and pocketing it for himself. Now he refuses to return it to her. That's when you go from being low, to even lower."

Stafford Hospital to lose services as trust to be dissolved
StaffordshireNewsPublished: Aug 1, 2013
Stafford Hospital will be stripped of maternity services, major surgery and child inpatient care under moves that will see the scandal-hit trust which runs it dissolved.
Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust will be axed with responsibility for Stafford and Cannock Chase Hospitals transferring to neighbours in Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton.
But Stafford's A&E department has escaped a further controversial downgrade and will remain open 14 hours a day as it is at present. The radical overhaul has been drawn up by administrators and the proposals will now go to Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt for final approval.
The administrators announced their conclusions following months of deliberations at a packed press conference attended by the nation's media yesterday afternoon.
Dozens of protesters calling for services at Stafford to be retained – led by lead campaigner Cheryl Porter – braved the wind and rain to gather to voice their anger outside.
It will take between two and three years for services to be transferred in order to give hospitals in Stoke and Wolverhampton time to prepare.
Around 1,800 babies a year who are currently born at Stafford will be delivered at other hospitals while children who require in- patient care will be sent elsewhere by ambulance.
Transition would start next April and the costs of moving services would total £108.4million. But with the cost of extra buildings and investment at other hospitals, the complete cost of the proposals is between £220.4m and £302.8m according to a formal proposal.
Special administrators appointed to tackle the Mid Staffs trust's financial problems said in a report that there would still be an £8.5m annual deficit even after all the changes they recommend. The hospital is currently overspending by £21m a year.
But Professor Hugo Mascie-Taylor and Ernst and Young consultants Alan Bloom and Alan Hudson say sweeping changes are needed because of problems attracting enough medical staff and the high cost of employing temporary doctors and nurses to cover shifts.
In their report they say: "To avoid a continuation of the current situation where the Trust is in the impossible position of trying to provide its current range of services safely within its budget, it is essential the difficult job of planning to provide safe, affordable services into the future is done now."
A consultation on the blueprint begins on August 6 and runs until October 1. The administrators stressed that 91 per cent of services at Stafford and Cannock Chase Hospitals would continue as they are.
"The TSAs believe that reducing the current 14/7 A&E service provision in Stafford would present a significant risk to the other providers in the local health economy in terms of increasing the pressure on already challenged departments," they said.
However, Stafford Hospital will begin to care for people who have suffered major trauma and will cover some medical conditions including strokes and heart attacks. There will also be beds provided for people to have rehabilitation treatment if they have been in hospital elsewhere but want to finish being cared for closer to home.
Stafford was said to have one of the smallest maternity units in the country.
The administrators say: "Pregnant women would receive routine consultant-led pre and post-natal care at Stafford Hospital overseen by consultants from neighbouring hospitals.
"However, women identified with complications later on in their pregnancy or with high-risk complications would attend a larger specialist hospital.
University Hospital of North Staffordshire NHS Trust has proposed offering this service."

Car surfing: How extreme is too extreme?
October 22, 2009 12:00 am by Reginald Lott
The motto of an on-duty police officer sums up the gravity of the situation.
"Prepare for the worst possible outcome while hoping for the best." Preparing for the death of an adolescent, especially when their demise is a direct result of their own foolish misadventure, impossible.
The phenomenon of car surfing, also known as drifting or ghost riding, is an illegal practice where the "surfer" sits or stands on the hood, roof or trunk of a moving vehicle.
The surfer can also hang on to the side of or be pulled by a rope behind the vehicle on a skateboard or in a shopping cart. Sounds exciting?
The practice has claimed the lives of young adults all over the country. California, Texas and Florida lead the country in deaths related to the extreme activity.
"This is not safe," warns Florida Highway patrol spokeswoman Kim Miller. "When you're doing something like this, you have no control. [Death] is exactly the kind of outcome that could happen."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 58 deaths and 41 nonfatal injuries from the summer of 2008 are attributed to car surfing — 75 percent of those casualties came from the Midwest and Southern, with 69 percent of those injured being males from 15 to 19-years-old.
These statistics, along with countless other illegal extreme sports-related deaths, injuries and arrests did not well with Florida officials. A few have decided to take action.
Jacksonville Sheriff John Rutherford has re-launched the "Beat the Heat" safety program, enlisting the help of former drag racer, Sgt. Don Robertson. Robertson began the program in 1984.
The "Beat the Heat" program is a series of speeches held at car shows and safety programs to educate citizens on the dangers of street racing and car surfing.
Willing street racers are also challenged by police officers to a high-speed contest in a controlled environment to see who can cross the finish line first.
"It was designed to address the issue of illegal street racing in the 1980s," Rutherford said.
"The problem has experienced a resurgence in the past few years, and based on the success of the …we are bringing 'Beat the Heat' back. It will be a regional program, not just for Duval County but surrounding areas as well."
Police forces are not the only organizations taking action against these unsupervised events. Camp Realize Your Natural Obsession (RYNO), located in Florida's panhandle, is a summer camp dedicated to extreme sports and sportsmanship education.
They are dedicated to giving outlets to teens interested in the various adrenaline-rush inducing activities.
Jeffery Johnson, 22, a political science student from Jacksonville, Fla., does not participate in extreme sports himself, but says the outlet is needed for others.
"In my opinion, (there are) certain circumstances (where) there should be a window of opportunity allowed for those who choose to express themselves … ," Johnson said. "The fact that these young people get to express themselves in a supervised manner is beneficial to not just them but the community as a whole … ."
Whether controlled environments have an impact on the amount of injuries involved with extreme sports remains to be seen.

The area shown in the adjacent map covers two physiographic regions – the Barind in the east and the tal in the west. The eastern part is comparatively high (up to 40 metres above mean sea level at places) and uneven. The soils of the eastern region are "hard salty clays of a reddish hue and the ground is baked hard as iron." It lies to the east of the Mahananda River. The area lying to the west of the Mahananda River, the tal, is a flat low land and "is strewn with innumerable marshes, bils and oxbow lakes." The tal area is prone to flooding by local rivers. The total area is overwhelmingly rural. There are two important historical/ archaeological sites in the area – Pandua and Jagjivanpur.

Police responded around 10:12 p.m. Friday after a woman called 911, saying she had been robbed and shot. When officers arrived at 4123 Todd Lane, police found the woman and her husband, Clements, shot. Clements was unresponsive and was pronounced dead at the scene at 10:29 p.m., police say.
APD says the couple knew Lilley, and drove to the southeast Austin location with their three children to meet with the suspect. During the meeting, shots were fired hitting both victims. Lilley reportedly left the scene.

The children were taken to a family member by crisis counselors. The woman was taken by medics to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police say.
An autopsy by the Travis County Medical Examiner's office determined the cause of death as multiple gun shot wounds.
Lilley was arrested on a murder warrant with a $100,000 bond. The case is still under investigation, police say.
APD says this is Austin's 35th homicide of 2021.

Nel 2017 l'energia nucleare in Ungheria ha generato il 50% dell'energia elettrica prodotta in totale nel Paese, e circa il 36% del fabbisogno.

A maggio 2018, è presente in questa nazione 1 centrale elettronucleare in funzione che dispone di 4 reattori operativi, che lavorano come centrale per il carico base della nazione.

Non vi sono centrali elettronucleari chiuse.

Storia
I primi sviluppi dell'energia nucleare nel paese sono nel 1956, con l'inizio della costruzione di un reattore di ricerca (completato poi nel 1959). Nel corso degli anni sessanta vennero poi firmati vari trattati per la costruzione di una centrale nucleare nel paese, per cui viene scelto il sito di Paks, a 100 km a sud di Budapest. Il progetto prevedeva la costruzione, in due fasi, di un totale di 4 reattori VVER440, entrati in funzione a metà degli anni ottanta. L'impianto è gestito dalla MVM Paksi Atomerőmű Zrt., una filiale della società elettrica di stato Magyar Villamos Művek. Nel corso degli anni le unità hanno avuto notevoli potenziamenti, passando dagli originari 410 MW agli attuali 500, nel corso degli ultimi anni sono stati sostituiti ed ammodernati molti dei sistemi di sicurezza e di generazione elettrica della centrale.

La vita operativa dell'impianto è di 30 anni, si prevede quindi una dismissione dell'impianto fra il 2012 ed il 2017. Nel 2000 (ed aggiornato nel 2005 è stato compiuto uno studio di fattibilità per una estensione della vita operativa di circa 20 anni, il quale non ha trovato problemi per un funzionamento dei reattori fino a 50 anni; questo studio è stato approvato dal parlamento ungherese. L'autorità per la sicurezza nucleare ungherese Magyar Atomenergia Hivatal ha poi approvato il programma di estensione della vita operativa, e la prima licenza era rilasciata alla metà del 2012

Programma nucleare futuro
Negli anni ottanta il governo ungherese pianificò la costruzione di due reattori VVER1000 presso l'impianto di Paks, come unità 5 e 6. Le opere preliminari furono completate nel 1989, quando il progetto fu cancellato a causa della diminuzione della domanda elettrica nazionale. Il progetto di ampliamento fu riproposto alla fine degli anni novanta con la costruzione di due unità da 600-700 MW, i reattori ipotizzati erano AP600, CANDU o VVER640. Il progetto fu cancellato perché non corrispondeva ai programmi politici e la valutazione preliminare di impatto ambientale non era stata completata.

La richiesta futura di elettricità richiederà la costruzione di circa 6000 MW di potenza elettrica suppletiva per il 2030, ed è di nuovo in considerazione la costruzione di un impianto nucleare, composto dalle unità 5 e 6 dell'impianto di Paks, da circa 1200 MW ognuno. Nel marzo 2009 il parlamento ungherese ha dato un'approvazione preliminare per lo studio, con l'emissione di un bando di gara previsto allora per il 2011 ed una decisione definitiva per il 2012. Sono presi in considerazione quattro tipologie di reattori: l'EPR, l'Atmea, l'AP1000 ed il VVER1200; la prima unità è prevista per essere in funzione dopo il 2026 e la seconda dopo il 2028.

Ciclo del combustibile
Tutto il combustibile usato è fornito dalla società russa TVEL.

Reattori di ricerca
Nell'istituto di ricerca sull'Energia nucleare opera un reattore da 10 MWt, che ha iniziato il suo funzionamento nel 1959 ed è stato ricostruito nel 1991; nel 2009 è stato modificato per funzionare ad uranio leggermente arricchito. Presso la Technical University of Budapest è in funzione un reattore da 100 kW.

Gestione dei rifiuti e depositi geologici
Al momento non è stata presa nessuna decisione definitiva sul trattamento del combustibile esausto, se trattarlo tramite riprocessamento o condizionarlo senza alcun trattamento, e poi collocarlo in un sito geologico. Alcuni elementi di combustibile sono stati spediti in Russia per il riprocessamento, senza il reimpatrio dei materiali derivanti dal trattamento. Il combustibile esausto prodotto dall'impianto di Paks è mantenuto nell'impianto per un periodo di 5 anni, quindi trasferito in un sito a secco nel complesso della centrale. Sono in corso la costruzione del deposito per i rifiuti di alto livello nei pressi di Bátaapáti, nel sud-ovest del paese.

Dal 1998 è presente un prelievo sulla produzione di energia da fonte nucleare per la creazione di un fondo per la gestione dei rifiuti radiologici ed il decommissioning dell'impianto. La società responsabile di tutto il processo di smaltimento è la Radioaktív Hulladékokat Kezelő (RHK), una società controllata dal governo ungherese.

È presente un sito di smaltimento dei rifiuti a basso livello presso Püspökszilágy; il sito, diventato operativo nel 1977, è stato esaurito nel 2005. Sono in corso studi per trovare un nuovo sito per contenere i rifiuti radiologici, a metà 2005 una votazione popolare degli abitanti di Bátaapáti ha candidato la città come sito per il nuovo sito di stoccaggio, richiesta successivamente approvata dal parlamento ungherese. Nel 2008 sono stati rilasciati i fondi per la costruzione dell'impianto, che era completato nel corso del 2010 e permettere la raccolta dei primi rifiuti dal 2011

Produzione di uranio
L'Ungheria è un piccolo produttore di uranio, con 2-3 t annuali, la sua produzione storica ammonta a 21.500 tU al 2006. Secondo il "Red Book" del 2007 non possiede risorse uranifere note.

Storicamente, la produzione di Uranio ungherese proveniva dal sito di Mecsek, nel sud del paese. Questa miniera ha chiuso nel corso del 1997. Nell'agosto 2008 la società australiana Wildhorse Energy a studiare la possibile riapertura della miniera e ha quindi acquisito i diritti per un futuro sfruttamento del sito. I primi studi di fattibilità riportano 11.600 t di risorse estraibili dal sito, e sono allo studio altre zone adiacenti alla miniera originaria.

Centrali elettronucleari

Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting: what we know
By Euronews • Updated: 12/06/2016
Omar Mateen killed 49 people and wounded 53 others after opening fire at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida
Police shot him dead after smashing into club in an armoured vehicle
ISIL claim responsibility
Mateen inspired by ISIL but group did not direct him to act, say US authorities
Family say they suspected nothing although Mateen, 29, had shown anger about homosexual behaviour
Automatic weapon used in the attack was legally purchased
The attack
The first clubbers knew of the attack was when gunshots broke out on the dance floor just before closing time around 2am on Sunday morning. Several hundred customers were enjoying "Latin night". Witnesses reported hearing sustained shooting, as those inside ran for cover or fled.
Javer Antonetti, told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper that he heard "at least 40 shots…It was constant, like 'pow, pow, pow'".
Christopher Hansen said he was in the VIP lounge when the attack began.
"I was thinking, are you kidding me? So I just dropped down. I just said please, please, please, I want to make it out."

The police response
An officer who was at the club exchanged fire with the gunman, who then took refuge inside the club with around 30 hostages. People hiding in the toilets texted updates to police who decided as a result to launch a raid around 5am local time.
An armoured vehicle was used to break into the building while a large explosion, which police said they initiated using a "distractionary device", possibly a stun grenade, rang out. Police say the gunman was shot and killed. One police officer was shot in the head but survived thanks to his helmet.

— Orlando Police (OrlandoPolice) June 12, 2016
The gunman was Omar Mateen, born to Afghan parents in New York. He worked as a security guard.
He had been married and had a young son.
Federal law enforcement agencies said that they had interviewed him twice as part of undisclosed investigations but not found any cause to take the matters further. The FBI had also looking into links with an American who travelled to the middle east to become a suicide bomber, according to NBC
Mateen's father, Mir Seddique, told NBC that his family had no idea why Omar would commit such an attack but said it was not linked to religion. However, his son had become angry when he saw two men kissing a few weeks ago.
ISIL have claimed responsibility for the attack via their Amaq news agency and CNN reported that the gunman himself had called 911 to declare allegiance to the organisation.
Mateen was armed with at least one assault rifle and a handgun which he had bought legally in Florida within the last week, according to police. Several "suspicious devices," most likely suspected bombs, were found in the area, including one on his body and one in his car.
Police say they they are not seeking another suspect.
The Pulse club describes itself on social media as "Orlando's Premiere Gay Ultra Lounge Nightclub and Bar".
First opened in 2004, the club was advertising its Latin night on June 11, promising reggaeton, Bachata, Merengue and Salsa. More than 300 people are believed to have been present.
At around 9am CET, 3am local time, the club posted on Facebook: "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running."
As soon as we have any information we will update everyone. Please keep everyone in your prayers as we work… https://t.co/3EY0fQ926m

Barack Obama addressed the nation following the shooting, expressing solidarity with the communities affected and once more raising the issue of gun control.
The attack is the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history, surpassing the toll of 32 killed by Virginia Tech student Seung-Hui Cho and the 27 victims of Sandy Hook school gunman Adam Lanza.
It also occured just a day after the murder of Voice singer Christina Grimmie, also in Orlando.
Huge queues formed outside blood banks in the area after many hundreds of people turned up to donate.

On Wednesday night I attended a Networx event called Marketing on a shoestring budget. It was a great night and I think everyone in the crowd learned some good tips and tricks to make a small marketing budget go further.
One idea that wasn't really expanded on though was the value of good content. I think that if you are going to go to the effort of pulling together a website, some direct mail outs, or even a decent business card (which were all items given the thumbs up), then don't forget that the right words can really seal the deal.
Hiring a professional copywriter – even for a few hours – can make a huge difference to your brand. We can help you focus your call to action, define a personality for your business, or even simply set up a style guide for you to follow when you write material yourself. In fact, a style guide is one of the most overlooked tools for a small business. Consistency in the way you write sends a message to your potential clients that you are professional and organised – qualities that are good for business!
What are your value-for-money marketing tools?
It's officially the downhill slide to the end of the year. The first Christmas party invites are starting to filter through, the weather is getting hotter and hotter (around here anyway), and there is a last minute push to get things done before everyone goes on holidays.
What blog topics would you like to cover? Do some brainstorming and map out what you are going to cover for at least the first six months. You can always be flexible (if something more timely or exciting crops up), but having a schedule makes it far less intimidating to keep up to date with posts.
What special events do you want to target with your business. Mother's Day? Easter? The local show? If you plan ahead, you'll give yourself enough lead time to write some cracking content to attract customers and generate sales.
Who really is your target market? If you haven't done so already, start analysing your website traffic and metrics, develop some personas of your different types of visitors and target them with specific content.
Train your staff. We run some great Writing for the web workshops – contact us to find out more.
Small steps such as these will help prepare you for the year ahead. Then you'll really be able to enjoy all those Christmas parties!
What will be on your content to-do list for 2010?


What is Diane Looking At?
Lokma (Turkish), loukoumades (Greek: λουκουμάδες, singular λουκουμάς, loukoumas), zalabyieh (Arabic: زلابية), or bāmiyeh are pastries made of deep fried dough soaked in syrup, chocolate sauce or honey, with cinnamon and sometimes sprinkled with sesame or grated walnuts. The common ancestor of Lokma varieties originates in Ottoman Empire.
Flavor of the month is Elvis. Peanut butter and Bacon. Hot Damn Tamale Baby!
Turkish coffee refers to a method of brewing very finely ground coffee. Any coffee bean may be used; arabica varieties are considered best, but robusta or a blend is also used. The beans must be ground to a very fine powder, which is left in the coffee when served.
Turkish coffee is made by bringing very finely ground coffee beans with water and usually sugar to the boil in a special pot called cezve. As soon as the mixture begins to froth, and before it boils over, about one-third of the coffee is distributed to individual cups; the remaining amount is returned to the fire and distributed to the cups as soon as it starts to boil. The coffee is traditionally served in a special type of small porcelain cup called a kahve finjanı.
Sugar is added to Turkish coffee while brewing, so the amount of sugar must be specified when preparing the coffee. It may be served unsweetened (Turkish: sade kahve), with little or moderate sugar (Turkish: orta şekerli), or sweet (Turkish: tatlı). Plain coffee is usually served with Turkish delight, or sometimes a piece of rock candy. It may also be spiced with cardamom.
It's like Gritty Coffee Gravy. It's almost chewy. Super Extra Strength. Not for the timid or people with heart conditions. I really enjoyed it 8 The sludge in the bottom of the cup is so strong that it could probably be mixed in a quart of hot water to make a pot of Americanos. I liked the little anise flavored cookie that was served with it.
I don't even deserve to rate this since I merely dipped a clean spoon into Gene's cup to sip. This is one crazy strong beverage, as my eyes popped and I felt a zingy tingly JOLT. Only the brave can handle a cup of this brew. Tasty yet strong as hell. Gene had fun with it!
(3) Mini pitas filled with egg, gyro, onion, tomato, topped with tzatziki. Served with diced red potato.
The mini Pita breads were fresh soft and had a good pita texture and chew. The scrambled eggs were NOT hammered. I was pleasantly surprised. The Gyro bits were seasoned perfectly. Raw red onion is a palette buster. One bite of it and all you can taste after it is onion. I kicked it all off before I took a bite. I think a bit of pickled onion would be a great substitute. The Tzatziki was killer. You could eat it alone with a spoon. Probably the best I've had in years. This combination was fantastic. It was simple but well executed. A difficult thing to pull off. I would order it again in a minute. 9 The potatoes were decent. They had a touch of heat and were seasoned ok. I would have been fine without them.
This is on the "Specials" menu. The Hollandaise was OK. Had a decent citrus note and was smooth and had good mouth feel. There could have been more of it. 7 The poached eggs were overcooked. I suspect sitting on top of the Saganaki cooked them. There is not much that they could do about that except serve them on the side. 7 The Muffin was well toasted. This is actually pretty rare It looked like that it was grilled. 9 The cheese was classically prepared. Lightly floured and fried. This dish was another winner. 8 It was brutally salty as Saganaki is and the Bacon was really unnecessary but I enjoyed it just the same. The fruit cup was a good match. It gives you a break from the salt. Overall an original and inventive special.
Filled with diced baklava pieces and milk chocolate. Topped with baklava, more chocolate and honey.
Sounds delicious doesn't it? Well it IS!
The pancakes are light super fluffy and have an amazing honey flavor. It's hard for me to believe that it's just from liquid Honey. You can get powdered Honey now (I have some) and I bet that it's involved in this dish somewhere. It has Baklava bits sprinkled on top and some elevated chocolate syrup. This is a Diabetic Coma on a plate. It's Freakn" AMAZING 9 A definite re order. I've been dieting all week. I decimated my effort with this.
Briki's is a Super Greek establishment that doesn't try to cover up their heritage. They have a good vibe and some delicious original inventive dishes. A friendly staff and Brandon has a Handle on the operation. Briki has earned a spot on the Gator Favorites List.
Thanks Christine for the Suggestion .
As for us? We are off to our next adventure!

WB Network Goes for Made-For-TV Movies
Wednesday 14 January 2004, by Webmaster
WB Network Goes for Made-For-TV Movies Tue Jan 13, 6:03 PM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters to My Yahoo!
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - As it struggles to reverse a ratings decline in its target audience, the youth-oriented WB network is moving into an area the bigger broadcasters are shying away from — made-for-TV movies.
The 9-year-old network, owned by Time Warner Inc. and Tribune Co., on Tuesday announced the appointment of its first executive in charge of original movie programming, cable veteran Tana Nugent Jamieson.
Jamieson comes from Time Warner's cable movie and sports channel TBS, where she served as vice president of original programming and movies. She is credited with developing the successful TBS thriller, "Red Water," one of the highest-rated original movies on basic cable last year.
The first film on Jamieson's slate will be a period drama based on the turn-of-the-century Samantha character from the popular "American Girls" collection of dolls and books, a project seen as appealing to one of WB's chief constituencies, young female viewers and their mothers.
WB executives said they hoped to have the movie, to be executive produced by Hollywood actress Julia Roberts (news), ready to air by November of this year.
By venturing into the realm of TV films, the network, home to such shows as "7th Heaven," "Everwood," "Reba" and "Smallville," is hoping to occupy a programming niche left by its bigger competitors.
In recent years, ABC, CBS and NBC have increasingly moved away from original movies, finding them costly enterprises that often fail to deliver high enough ratings to justify the one-time expense of making them.
"Broadcast television has largely abandoned the long-form genre to cable, particularly with content directed at young viewers," said WB's co-CEO Jordan Levin in a statement. "We have had success with theatrical presentations and have decided that this would be a great time to expand into original production."
WB co-Chairman Garth Ancier said the network would aim initially for four or five original films a year.
WB's move also comes as it deals with a marked decline in ratings, particularly among the 12- to 34-year-old viewers it has long considered its core audience.
During the November ratings "sweep," the WB posted a ratings drop of 16 percent nationally among females aged 12 to 34 and 20 percent for the 12-to-34 age group overall.
Like other networks, the WB blames much of the decline in younger demographics on recent changes in the way ratings tracker Nielsen Media Research collects its data.
The TV movie venture marks one of the first initiatives under the new executive team led by Levin and Ancier, who are taking charge of the WB as CEO Jamie Kellner prepares to step down at the end of the current season.
Ancier said the WB was looking to schedule more shows in a pattern of 22 first-run episodes over 22 consecutive weeks with each episode repeated once during the same week instead of later in the season. The idea is to avoid disrupting the continuity of programs, especially dramas, while giving added exposure to popular shows.
In addition to original movies, the WB recently acquired rights for the first TV broadcast of "The Lord of the Rings" feature trilogy, with the first film in the series, "The Fellowship of the Ring," set to air in November this year. Parts two and three will debut in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
The WB also has given veteran TV producer John Wells ("The West Wing," "ER," "Third Watch"), the go-ahead to develop a pilot episode for a new thriller based on the classic daytime gothic soap opera "Dark Shadows."

Q: Encrypting AWS .pem key file using ansible I have encrypted the AWS .pem file with ansible vault to upload to GitHub. I'm running the playbook in Jenkins and is failing with error {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey).\r\n", "unreachable": true}. If tried to run the playbook manually its asking me to enter passphrase which I haven't set. I'm running the playbook with --vault-password-file. I have set the permissions to 700 before running playbook.
Any idea why ansible started asking for passphrase after encrypting with ansible-vault and how toresolve this issue?

A: When ssh asks you to enter a passphrase and you know that they .pem file does not have an associated passphrase, it is normally an indication that ssh cannot interpret the file.
This might be because the format has been modified (eg strange linebreak characters) or it does not contain the expected header, key and footer.
Based upon your description, it would appear that ssh is trying to use the encrypted version of your file, which it cannot interpret. You will need to decrypt the file before using it with ssh.

Posted by CONRIC PR on Nov 22, 2019 in In The News | 0 comments
First exclusive DISMERO boutique in U.S. to open Thanksgiving week
A life's dream is about to become reality for Katie Nevans as she and international fashion designer Andy D'Auria announce the opening of the first U.S. boutique devoted exclusively to the DISMERO made in Italy brand that caters to sophisticated women on Black Friday Nov. 29 in the Bridge Plaza in Fort Myers.
Nevans, a Fort Myers resident who used to make her own clothes as a child and is devoted to the DISMERO brand, convinced D'Auria she was the one to sell the designer's eye-popping but practical and comfortable line of sportswear, along with a unique brand of jewelry and other products, here in the U.S.
D'Auria is heralded as one of the world's top stylists and the Fort Myers store will showcase all that is "chic casual" about the DISMERO brand. The Bridge Plaza is located off McGregor Boulevard and across the street from The Landings community.
Inside, women will find D'Auria's fall collection of Italian blouses, pants, jeans, sweaters, jackets, as well as quality jewelry, handbags and something extra special – DISMERO'S exclusive extra virgin olive oil. There will be a feel of Italy throughout the store and shoppers will have a chance to sip on Italy's sparkling wine, Prosecco, while they look through D'Auria's dazzling collection. There also will be the opportunity to win gift cards.
To enhance the DISMERO experience that much more, Alessandro Cantoni, an artist for the company who designs the jewelry and handbag collection, as well as D'Auria's daughter, Jennifer, CEO of the fashion production company for DISMERO, and her husband, Carlo Faggionato, who specializes in window displays, will be in Fort Myers earlier in the week, to help give the new location the right look and feel for the coveted brand.
An official grand opening celebration is planned in January when the famed Italian designer himself will be in attendance to meet and greet his Southwest Florida fans.
"I am so excited for women to experience what has made me such a believer and buyer of DISMERO fashions," said Nevans, who has traveled to the birthplace of DISMERO in Italy many times to experience not only the unique culture of the country but to purchase the latest in D'Auria's designs. "When women try on these clothes or buy the jewelry or experience the olive oil, they will be believers as well," Nevans said.
Although DISMERO fashions are available in stores in the U.S., the Fort Myers store is the first to carry nothing but the international company's exclusive collection.
"We sell quality fashion with pops of bold colors," said D'Auria, who founded DISMERO in 1987. "Our fashion caters to women who lead busy lifestyles and crave comfort without sacrificing sophisticated style."

Mała Warszawa - Zakrzewo
Running time: 22'03"
Production: PL 1978
Zakrzewo – a village located 10 kilometres from Złotów. After Poland regained its independence in 1918, this rural area became German territory. The rest of the region remained Polish territory. The village was home to only 4 German families, all other inhabitants were Polish. It was not until 1929 however that it was permitted to open a private Catholic school with Polish language. Before the Second World War Zakrzewo was called "Little Warsaw."
Wiesław Jacek Kamiński was born in 1943 in Stryj. Most of his professional life he has worked with Szczecin television. Currently, having worked in TVP for 46 years, he is retired. He climbed the ladder of journalism right to the top: from junior editor to commentator, from a rank-and-file journalist, through head of the "Kronika" newscast editorial board, opinion journalism and reportage, to editor-in-chief of the Ośrodek Radiowo-Telewizyjny in Szczecin. He also gained his professional experience cooperating with the Warsaw TVP editorial boards. Has co-authored for Studio 2 and Studio 8. He believes his greatest success to be the launch of Kanał 7, a local television program in TVP Szczecin, one independent from the Warsaw structures. In its prime Kanał 7 used to broadcast over a dozen hours of original program created by Szczecin journalists, complementing the offer with licensed entertainment and sport programs, as well as with classical music concerts. At that time Szczecin was the only city in Poland with an independent, self-reliant television free from Warsaw's supervision, and it enjoyed great popularity among the viewers.
As the director of TVP Szczecin he has initiated the building of a modern television base in our town. It is thanks to him that Szczecin has a station with two television studios and modern technical resources. As a journalist Jacek Kamiński has done mainly studio-based opinion journalism, only occasionally turning to film forms.

Successful malaria control has meant a drop in mortality rates worldwide but it is still an important disease. Therapies using artesunate, a derivative of artemisinin drugs, aim to kill malaria parasites before they mature. These therapies have high success rates and need to be developed. General care of malaria patients also needs to be improved.
This is a podcast from the Nuffield Department of Medicine. Professor Arjen Dondorp tells us about his work on severe malaria and the development of new therapies.
Q: What is severe malaria?
AD: Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium which lives in red blood cells. There are four species of Plasmodium that can cause human disease, and one other species that easily jumps from the monkey to human beings. Of those 5 types, Plasmodium falciparum is the one that most commonly causes severe disease in patients that are not immune to the disease. It can then develop within a few days to a very severe condition affecting many vital organs, for instance the brain, causing coma or cerebral malaria; it can affect kidneys causing renal failure and lungs causing respiratory failure; it can make the blood very acidotic and causes severe anaemia as well as death. So then it is really an emergency disease.
Q: Is malaria different in South East Asia than Africa, and is it different in Cambodia and Thailand?
AD: Yes there are differences between sub-Saharan Africa and Asia in that the transmission of the disease in Africa is much more intense than in Asia. In many parts of Africa a child gets bitten once a day or sometimes even several times a day by an infected mosquito which transmits the malaria parasite. If that child doesn't die from the disease they will build up immunity in the first years of their lives, so you hardly see any severe disease after the age of five. Whereas in Asia people are bitten maybe once a year by an infected mosquito so they don't have time to build up immunity. There you see disease in young adults or in any ages. This also makes the manifestations of the disease slightly different in adults: adults can develop cerebral malaria and very acidotic blood, but also renal failure, pulmonary failure whereas children also often develop coma and acidosis but tend to have more severe anaemia than adult patients. Then your question whether it is specifically different in Cambodia and Thailand: these are areas of low transmission so severe malaria is mainly a disease of young adults; but anti-malarial drug resistance tends to somehow, for reasons we don't completely understand, start in that part of the world. So the treatment of malaria is in general more difficult in that part of the world.
Q: What are the most important lines of research that have developed over the last five or ten years?
AD: There is a lot of research going on in severe malaria and we more and more understand the mechanisms of the disease - or why a child or an adult gets so severely ill from malaria. The focus is much more around deaths. The real changes are in the smallest blood vessels of the patients because they get completely clogged with these red blood cells that have the mature forms of the parasite; those red blood cells get very sticky and adhere to the lining of the small blood vessels causing a mechanical blockage of blood flow there. This also activates the endothelium which has a lot of secondary effects. Therapies are directed to either kill the parasite at an early stage so that it cannot mature, get sticky and obstruct the small blood vessels, and there are new therapies called adjuvant therapies that you give in addition to anti-malarial drugs which specifically target this mechanism of cyto-adherence?
Q: What are the most promising treatments?
AD: Our own research over the last few years has been in more potent acting anti-malarial drugs killing young parasites and these are the artemisinin drugs. We tested a specific derivative of those drugs called artesunate that you can give directly into the blood stream. That has proven to be very successful for the treatment of severe malaria. We have done very large trials and shown that in adults with severe malaria it reduces mortality by 35% compared to the old treatment with quinine and in children, African children with severe malaria, by 23%. So that's a huge gain.
Q: Why does your line of research matter? Why should we put money into it?
AD: Malaria is still a very important disease; malaria control has been very successful over the last decade and malaria mortality worldwide has gone down. But still almost a million people, mainly African children, die from malaria each year so it is a very important disease. We still need better treatments to reduce this high mortality rate and there are still important questions to answer in the mechanism of disease that we need to know in order to develop these better treatments.
Q: How does your research fit into translational medicine within the department?
AD: Well there are many translational aspects to the research we do. A lot of the research starts in the laboratory trying to look for new treatments in models, and then those new drugs have to be tested out in the field. Once they are shown to work, they need to be translated in the field in which they are really used. Then it is important to get them into guidelines such as the WHO guidelines for treatment of severe malaria - for instance with these new artesunate drugs. What is also important is that the general care of children and adults with severe malaria is improved. We also have teaching programmes to have structured implementation of strategies that are cost effective and cheap so that they can be used in resource poor settings. And with all those mechanisms we have to improve the survival of these people with severe malaria.
This interview was recorded in November 2011.
Arjen Dondorp
Professor of Tropical Medicine
Severe malaria and drug resistance
Prof Arjen Dondorp is the Deputy Director and Head of Malaria Research at the Mahidol-Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Unit in Bangkok, Thailand. His main research interests include the pathophysiology and treatment of severe malaria, antimalarial drug resistance and the improvement of intensive care practice in developing countries.
From bench to bedside
Ultimately, medical research must translate into improved treatments for patients. At the Nuffield Department of Medicine, our researchers collaborate to develop better health care, improved quality of life, and enhanced preventative measures for all patients. Our findings in the laboratory are translated into changes in clinical practice, from bench to bedside.

Basically, all you had to do was to create a counter, prepend the section counter to it and use it after the header. The line
\newmdenv[style=digressionarrows,digressiontitle=Definition]{df}{section}[section]

should have been
\newmdenv[style=digressionarrows,digressiontitle=Definition]{df}

Using tcolorbox, however, your code looks simpler:

In Mystery and Detective Fiction, it's Agatha Christie time. Our major reading is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I like to take this opportunity to talk a bit about canonization and literary value, highlighting the timing of the novel (1926) and considering some of the reasons we treat it differently from some of its near-contemporaries, such as Ulysses (1922) and To the Lighthouse (1927). Of its kind, Ackroyd seems to me nearly perfect, so the question has to be how we evaluate different kinds of things. We talk about the valorization of difficulty at this time, for instance, something I have often talked about with my colleague Leonard Diepeveen. I point out that Agatha Christie is apparently the most successful (English language) novelist of all time (2 billion copies sold!). Doesn't that in itself provide sufficient reason to take her seriously? This question typically sparks some good debate. I also read some excerpts from Edmund Wilson's provocative essay "Who Cares Who Killed Roger Ackroyd?" And we talk about the ethics of puzzle fiction. Next class we'll look, for example, at the scene in which the characters assemble in the room with Ackroyd's body and carry on a long and completely collected conversation about his death, and then think about Poirot's cool demeanor as he plunks himself down in the very chair that held the body, and the way the murder weapon (still dripping blood, presumably) is an object of great but, again, entirely cool and collected observation. We won't get to the novel's conclusion until next week, so I'll hold off on any comments on whodunnit.
In The Victorian 'Woman Question,' it's still East Lynne until Friday. I tried my handout with the excerpts from Vanity Fair and Adam Bede yesterday; interestingly, there were some who found Wood's overt didacticism effective and engaging, and others who preferred Thackeray for leaving them some room to draw their own conclusions. We had some productive discussion about things like the way Isabel's zombie-like presence in what was once her own household brings into focus class and gender anxieties that run throughout the novel, and about the way the election plot displaces the class and sexual rivalries between Carlyle and Levison–but why? How far does Levison's humiliation in the dunking scene help in the restoration of our sympathies for Isabel, assuming we weren't already on her side after the whole train wreck catastrophe? And we've begun considering the issue of the excessive pathos that dominates the last part of the novel; there will be more to say about this when we've read to the end, complete with the two wrenching deathbed scenes.

Got very valuable feed back yesterday to help me better my renders from my first post so been busy all day working on this render.
This is a Top Notch render. Very darn good. If anything at all could improve it in my eyes it would be one thing and one thing only. In your next one, NOT this one, think about the MAGIC you will add in postwork. Would that magic glow? Try putting some point lights in the places the Main magic glow will be, the Ball kind of stuff, and color those lights to shine on the Figure. That would make the Postwork magic look like it was Part of the render.
That last line made my day. I'm so happy when I hear people learn and use the tips from the threads. But I agree, you do not need to change the render. Just what I saw.
EDIT. Tip: Use a camera to Sight down the gun Yourself. That will give you a better idea if your NULL is in the Right place.
yet again some great advice from your self about what to do with the render, thank you for your time support and comments.
Since this is supposed to be a WIP thread, I figure I had better post a work in progress. This is probably going to be a fairly complicated scene by the time all is said and done.
The theme is a bikini car wash and I still have to add the car and another figure. It's going to (hopefully) be a comedic image.
The first figure is holding a rigged garden hose. The nozzle is kept in hand by a target helper object (null object) parented to the figure's hand. The second to last "bone in the hose is set to track the Target helper. The hose's rig uses IK so I can bend it as needed. Parented to the hose is a particle emitter (if using Poser or D/S you could use a model or billboard) for a stream of water.
The second figure is holding a sponge and has a modeled water splash object parented to the sponge so that if I need to move the hand, the sponge and dripping water comes with it.
I should note that in the screen shots there are white wireframe boxes on the bathing suits. These represent surface replicators and mark where there is a little sphere which is supposed to be water droplets clinging to the bathing suits.
The bucket has some modeled "foam" in and around it, which is parented to the bucket in case I want to move it.
Some of what I've included is Carrara specific, such as the replicators and particle emitter. Other things are not, so if you have any questions I will answer as best as I can.
This would be the final touch of it. And to answer evilproducers questions...switched to DAZ 3.
Once we post the image here may we post it somewhere else?
I believe if you want to enter it in the contest, you must post it to the contest thread first. Check the contest rules post to be sure.
Nice job. If this is for the Sept. contest, why not put it into the WIP thread? You might get even more good advice.
Hi evilproducer, that sounds great about more advice. I am new here and do not know how to put the render into the WIP thread?
I will move it there for you, no problems.
Thank you Chohle, I was about to upload another render that I done today after the great advice Jaderail gave me yesterday. Would it be possible for you to advice me on how to post renders to that section so that I can get feedback on how I can improve my renders?
Ok what you do is click on post reply, at the bottom, and then browse to the location of your image, in exactly the same way you did when you posted the image on it's own. THere's no magic, honest.
If you scroll up too the top of this page, you can see the image you posted.
Hi Ilena52 I am a little confused if you were referring to my render?
Hi Ilena52, Thank you for such kind and encouraging words. I have just started with Daz about a 3 maybe 4 weeks ago and also photoshop doing a lot of tutorials with photoshop right now. I am now starting to get use to Daz and started to play about with lights in there. I done this one of the Elf today as got great advice of Jaderail yesterday so thought I would try what he advised me and this is what I got from his wise words.
I am sorry for being late to the party. Just got back up and running since a malware attack.
Anyhoo hope this helps with the early stages of placing items in the hand area.
In Daz Studio the "Snap To Parent" script is a great tool and easy to use.
Here in image one I loaded Genesis and at the feet a mobile phone (cellular phone) and selected the hand and the phone.
Image two I double click the "Snap to Parent" script. See image for the location of said script.
In one move image three shows it has been placed close to the hand and parented to it also.
Hey Szark! Happy to see you again. Great tip about the Snap To Parent script. I have a question myself, I'm still very new to DS4.5Pro and use DS3A most of the time in the old school way. Load prop, move prop, position prop and then Parent when I'm real close. I've been doing it that way in 4.5 as well. Here's the question, does it matter which item you Select first when you use Snap to Parent? Example: If I select the Phone first and then the Right Hand will it move the Right Hand to the Phones position? Or will it still just move the Phone to the Hand?
You learn very FAST. That is some great work wiibb. You are doing some good renders. I want to see you in the contest now.
This contest is about PROPS, in your first post you had some weapons in the hands (props). You should now do a render that has some props in it so you can enter it in the contest.
Feel free to keep asking questions of any thing you like, we are happy to help. And the tips will help you make a great Prop render for the contest.
Hey your Fine! Post all the renders you like, just remember to use one for the contest it will need a prop/props to have a chance to win.
So here's the bikini car wash scene I was working on. Lots of props! Some parented, some not.
ROTFL!!! Great one. I love the Guy in the car. That expression!
The expression was hard to nail. Almost as hard as setting up the shaders for the foam and the sponge. The hardest of all was to get the water flow right from the hose. I may post the hose and emitter on on my ShareCG account. Unfortunately, it would have to be just for Carrara as rigging and particles won't transfer to other programs.
I can see that water being done in Bryce with metaballs but DS would need a prop/props. Maybe now that DS4.5 is final we might get a particles plugin in the future.
The emitter uses metaballs, and the foam and the water coming from the sponge are metaball models.
I saw you're renders really great work.

Please note that the main programm has not been linked to libtest.so during linking time. Otherwise , I should be able to set the break point although it is a pending action.  In my case, when I do b test, gdb will tell me Function "test" not defined.

A: Actually gdb should tell you that it's able to resolve the symbol in the future, when new libraries are loaded:
(gdb) b test
Function "test" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y
Breakpoint 1 (test) pending.
(gdb) r

And later on once the .so object is loaded, it will resolve the breakpoint, e.g.:
Reading symbols for shared libraries . done
Breakpoint 1 at 0xcafebebe
Pending breakpoint 1 - "test" resolved

how to set a breakpoint on a shared lib.

It's quite common to have a breakpoint inside a shared library. Shared libraries can be loaded and unloaded explicitly, and possibly repeatedly, as the program is executed. To support this use case, gdb updates breakpoint locations whenever any shared library is loaded or unloaded. Typically, you would set a breakpoint in a shared library at the beginning of your debugging session, when the library is not loaded, and when the symbols from the library are not available. When you try to set breakpoint, gdb will ask you if you want to set a so called pending breakpoint—breakpoint whose address is not yet resolved.

quote from https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Set-Breaks.html

(gdb) b object5.c:66
    No source file named object5.c.

maybe you can use "set directory the_location_of_object5.c_file" to fix it.

A: Another way is to specify the filename and der function, e.g.:
b object5.c:test

This should be unique. Maybe you want also to specify the path to the source code (as already suggested) by:
set directories path_of_object5.c
