The SCX Spinners are at it again!
Following two successful charity cycle rides; Coast to Coast in 2012 and Coast-to-Coast & Back in 2013, SCX's determined band of cyclists are gearing up for another charity cycle ride.
Over the weekend of 9 and 10 August 2014, two teams (one of road cyclists and one of mountain bikers) will undertake a new gruelling challenge, with the target of arriving back at the SCX Sheffield Head Office together on the Sunday, and of course, raising more money for charity.
The seven road riders will take to the road from Prestatyn, Wales, riding up into Yorkshire to follow the Tour de France route back to Sheffield; 180 miles over two days.
The second team of eight mountain bikers will aim to travel from North to South covering 80 tough and rugged miles of the Pennine Bridleway from Hebden Bridge to Glossop, before diverting east over the Peaks to Sheffield.
The previous two challenges combined raised approximately £10,000 for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity, a cause chosen because of many of the riders' own personal experiences.
This year, the SCX Spinners are supporting two charities; Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity again and also The Katie Piper Foundation. Any donation you are able to make will be greatly appreciated, not only by SCX but also the many unfortunate people that these charities work so hard to support.
If you are able to support the SCX Spinners, their JustGiving team page contains links to two donation pages, so that you can choose which charity to support.

Halloween can be a magical special time for families. Yet it's difficult to live in this culture and not confuse celebration with consumerism. Aware that Halloween adds hugely to the ecological disaster unfolding in front of our eyes, I commit to take steps towards a mindful celebration, for the health of our children and our planet and for a celebration that is filled with joy and creativity as well as giving rather than getting.
USA spends $9 billions on Halloween each year, $2.6 billions of which on candies.
600 million pounds of candy are sold in the USA alone, weighing as much as six Titanic ships.
Ingredients include petroleum, palm oil (responsible for deforestation), artificial coloring (some illegal in Europe due to being so toxic), sugar, and GMO corn syrup.
These ingredients weaken the immune system and many children get their first cold of the season right after Halloween.
Petroleum is also needed for non recyclable plastic wrappings, for bags and boxes and for delivery.
Commercial costumes are made of mixed materials, the production of which, packing and shipping ads hugely to toxins in water and air.
Resorting to the trash bin, offering children gifts as a trade, only lessens the sugar & chemical toll on the child, not the toll on the planet.
The "trick" refers to a threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. Is blackmail the experience we want them to have?
Engaging with the children to create costumes from scarves, masks, sheets, coats, napkins, mom's and dad's clothing, scarves, boxes, pots, paper, face paints, paper bags, yogurt containers, mud… creating joy and family activity.
Trick can be the child showing a magic trick or sharing a song, act, acrobatics or a dance.
Treats can be home-made and healthy. Letting the children be the givers, going door to door in costume to give rather than get, experiencing generosity as part of celebration.
Using the holiday to give to the less advantaged and make donations to the homeless or Red Cross.
Using creative resources online for more fun ideas, like Treats and Treasures.
Placing an easel or a note at the door inviting the children to come in and share acting, singing, dancing etc... and the hosts can offer their talent too.
Filming our Givers in their home-made costumes, as they give Real Food, and starting the movement on social network.
Sharing with children that the culture turned this and other holidays into consumerism, and that celebrating can be even more joyous free of it.
We can transition back from shopping, begging and threatening, to giving, creating and nurturing the body, the family, relationships, humor, friends, neighbors, and the planet.
Join us in transforming Halloween to HalloGreen by signing and/or sharing with others!

Critical Condition: The Real O'Neals
The Real O'Neals (TV2, 8.00 Tuesday)
"For years, ABC has been the home of the gently quirky family comedy, with each entry putting some new tilt on the nuclear unit: Modern Family, The Middle, Black-ish, The Goldbergs. The latest addition to that crop of shows is The Real O'Neals, in which a seemingly perfect Catholic family in Chicago have their lives upturned by a series of shocking revelations in the pilot episode. This is a show dealing with darker issues than its network brethren, but presented in the same bouncy, upbeat style. It's a weird clash of tone that shouldn't really work, but somehow does … Like The Middle or The Goldbergs, the show is a sunny, single-camera comedy with occasional flights of fancy, but like Black-ish, it's not afraid to go after tougher issues in a funny way." — The Atlantic.
"The Real O'Neals [is] most easily reduced to The Catholic Goldbergs. Of the ABC comedies, The Goldbergs took the longest to settle into its voice and rhythms for me … So I'm not worried that through four episodes, The Real O'Neals hasn't entirely clicked either. The early installments suffer from a surplus of voices, a surfeit of refined characters and clumsy plot mechanics, but the third and particularly the fourth episode, titled The Real F Word, speak to a show that's finding its perspective and beginning to properly utilise what is a very good cast." — The Hollywood Reporter.
"The Real O'Neals wants desperately to be the brash new sitcom that talks forthrightly about subjects that had been taboo. And a decade or two ago it might have been. Now, though, it's just the guest who arrives late to the party, blundering in loudly and clumsily. The series gives us an Irish-Catholic family of five in Chicago. Each member has been living a lie of one sort or another. By the end of the premiere, through a series of circumstances that are supposed to be madcap but mostly just strain for laughs, everyone's facade has come down and the family members face a future of living with one another as they really are." — New York Times.
"There are some funny moments in the four episodes made available for preview, and the performances are strong enough to give one hope that those moments might eventually become more frequent, and tied to a stronger show. But for now, O'Neals is hitting a few too many false notes, and hitting them far too strongly. And that's a real problem." — USA Today.
"There is nothing 'real' about The Real O'Neals. Or anything funny. A witless collection of offensive anti-Catholic cliches, the new ABC series takes a talented cast and saddles it with some of the worst material in ages. If The Real O'Neals went to confession, a thousand Hail Marys wouldn't be penance enough." — New York Post.

Chinese man fined $20 for selling Zimbabwe flags without authority
A 28-year old Chinese businessman, Weidong Li, has been fined $20 by a court in the Zimbabwean capital Harare for selling the national flags without authority.
The magistrate, Tendai Mahwe, said Li had to pay the fine or spend five days in jail after he admitted to contravening Section 5 of the Flag of Zimbabwe Act. A total of 314 flags were also seized and confiscated by the State.
''You bought the flags in China and you are selling them for a profit. The moral blameworthiness is low and I take into consideration that you will lose your flags. They are forfeited to the State,'' she ruled.
The state prosecutor told the court that on October 21, detectives found that flags displayed in Li's shop located in a central part of the capital were being offered for sale contrary to the law. They added that the shop manager confirmed that the flags were indeed for sale, which situation led to the arrest of the Chinese businessman.
Last month, the Zimbabwean government warned against infringing on the national flag. They warned that persons who manufactured, imported or sold the national flag without authority risked prosecution. Same applied to anyone who burned or mutilated the flag.
The government's move came against the back of #ThisFlag campaign, a largely social media organized campaign that tasked Zimbabweans to use anti-government protests to protect the integrity of the nation which was suffering an economic downturn.

Light Distance and Ranging — Lidar
Light Distance and Ranging (Lidar) is a relatively new technology that employs an airborne scanning laser range finder to produce accurate topographic surveys of great detail.
Lidar can be used, in conjunction with other data, to identify depressional wetlands, frequently flooded areas, and geologically hazardous areas, as well as other features. It can be used for land-use planning, archeology, agriculture and other applications. In 2015, Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) initiated a new Lidar program and began collecting and processing existing Lidar data and collecting new data in priority areas.

High resolution change detection
High resolution change detection data, generated by the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW), may be helpful when monitoring the effects of activities on agriculture as well as vegetation in critical areas.
WDFW can detect small-scale changes in vegetation such as a decrease in the canopy cover of woody vegetation and an increase in semi-pervious or pervious surfaces. This data can be used as a monitoring tool for VSP counties for which analyses are completed. In 2013, WDFW completed high resolution change detection maps for 14 Washington watersheds.

Data limitations
To detect change, high resolution change detection must be overlaid with a critical area layer from the appropriate year.
Data in non-Puget Sound watersheds are not as robust as that collected in the Puget Sound area. WDFW may be completing more analysis in these or new watersheds in the future.

I missed adding Nat Geo's docu-drama Mars to the Scorecard last week but have rectified that with the latest set of rankings. It enters pretty low at the Number 23 slot because its same day ratings are off by over 60% from its first season which aired two years ago. As a benchmark for this one, I am using its prior season average–factored down a bit to account for ratings attrition–because I don't have much data for Nat Geo's other original programming. But that might not be completely accurate because this series airs globally and did quite well worldwide last time around. I don't have its global viewership numbers, so I am missing a significant piece of data to gauge its status. So essentially, I am treating this one like most of the streaming service entries and putting it at Renewal Possible status because I believe this one still has a chance to return for another season if its worldwide numbers are good enough.
Dropping this week is The CW's Charmed which slipped two slots to Number 12. That one is not performing too well in the same day ratings, but it is one of the network's most-watched based on digital viewing. Most of the rest of the movement for the week was just incidental. For the ratings coverage from this past week, be sure to check out our latest Weekly Roundup post.

UN peacekeepers deploy to stop communal violence in South Sudan

DR Congo, UN announce 'joint operations' after Beni violence
UN peacekeepers South Sudan UNMISS Rumbek Gak Manuer
UNMISS peacekeepers in South Sudan
AFP/Juba
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said Tuesday it had re-deployed 75 troops to halt a cycle of communal attacks and revenge killings that have left 79 dead.
The Nepalese troops based in the town of Rumbek were flown by helicopter, after heavy rains rendered roads impassable, to Maper 100 kilometres to the north to provide a "protective presence" in the area.
The deployment "follows reports from local authorities that as many as 79 people have been killed and a further 101 injured in a series of communal clashes and revenge attacks between the Gak and Manuer communities," UNMISS said in a statement.
The mission noted that while political violence had largely subsided in South Sudan due to the signing of a peace deal in September 2018 "intercommunal clashes continue to result in the killing and injuring of civilians, cattle raiding and the looting of property."
Cattle raiding, a generations-old phenomenon in South Sudan, has grown increasingly deadly as cowherds arm themselves with automatic rifles, leading to vicious cycles of revenge killings.
Many herder communities nurse long-standing grievances unrelated to the national tug of war for power and the breakdown of law and order has only complicated such local conflicts.
"This fighting must stop," said United Nations special envoy David Shearer.
"We are urging the communities involved and their leaders to put an end to the violence and to come together in reconciliation and peace for the good of their people."
South Sudan plunged into war in December 2013 after a falling out between President Salva Kiir and his rival Riek Machar. The latest peace deal has led to the longest ceasefire of the war, but plans to reunite the two men in a power-sharing government have been repeatedly delayed.

Sanlúcar de Guadiana es un municipio español de la provincia de Huelva, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía. Perteneciente a la comarca del Andévalo, cuenta con una población de .

Ubicación
Sus coordenadas geográficas son 37º 28' N, 7º 28' O. Se encuentra situada a una altitud de 149 m sobre el nivel del mar, a una distancia de 55 km de la capital de provincia, Huelva.

Historia
Bajo la protección de la Taifa de Niebla, algunos grupos musulmanes se asentaron en esta zona, si bien el origen de la población actual hay que situarlo a mediados del , con la conquista de Sancho II de Portugal y la construcción de una fortaleza. Siendo tierras de realengo, pronto pasarán al señorío de Gibraleón. Más tarde, ya en manos de los Pérez de Guzmán, se le concede el título de villa, merced otorgada por Isabel Guzmán de Ledesma.

A mediados del , Sanlúcar de Guadiana se hace cargo del abastecimiento de la tropa española acuartelada en la frontera con Portugal, debido a la Guerra de la Independencia de este país. Es entonces cuando se construye el baluarte de San Gerónimo, en 1642, si bien el castillo de San Marcos continuará en el mismo estado del siglo anterior (ver más adelante), por lo que no puede evitar su toma por las tropas portuguesas al final del conflicto.

A lo largo de su historia la villa ha sufrido inundaciones debidas al desbordamiento del río Guadiana. La más devastadora tuvo lugar en 1823 en que casi la mitad de las casas fue destruida. Otra tuvo lugar en diciembre de 1875.

Sin embargo, su situación también le ha traído beneficios. Paso obligado en rutas comerciales, en el  se convirtió en un centro desde el que se exportaba madera, plomo y jabón.

Monumentos
 Castillo de San Marcos: fortificación fronteriza ubicada sobre un cerro al este de la población.
 Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de las Flores: construida en el , aunque el edificio actual se debe a la reforma del . La planta se divide en tres naves, con dos capillas laterales y coro en alto. Se cubre mediante artesonado. El retablo mayor, de madera policromada, está dedicado a Nuestra Señora de la Rábida, patrona de Sanlúcar de Guadiana. Data de finales del  y en fechas recientes fue restaurado junto a un tríptico de escuela.

Demografía
En el año 2019 contaba con 409 habitantes. Su extensión superficial es de 96,5 km² y tiene una densidad de 4,22 hab/km². La población del municipio ha ido descendiendo en las últimas décadas, de forma más acusada a partir de 2005.

US troops to get 'tactical augmented reality' that allows them to see exactly where their enemies are (and even look round walls)
Tiny headset can project maps and the locations of friends and foes
Can even use a remote cameras to feed night vision into a soldier's vision
By Mark Prigg For Dailymail.com
Published: 13:50 EST, 26 May 2017 | Updated: 05:56 EST, 29 May 2017
Warfare is about to get a lot like a video game for US soldiers.
Researchers have revealed they recently began using a new 'Tactical Augmented Reality,' system.
The tiny headset can project everything from maps, the locations of friends and foes and even night vision feeds into a soldier's vision.
Scroll down for video
The eyepiece is connected wirelessly to a tablet the soldiers wear on their waist and it's wirelessly connected to a thermal site mounted on their rifle
The eyepiece is connected wirelessly to a tablet the Soldiers wear on their waist and it's wirelessly connected to a thermal site mounted on their rifle or carbine.
If a Soldier is pointing his or her weapon, the image of the target, plus other details like the distance to target, can be seen through the eyepiece.
The eyepiece even has a split screen, so for example, if the rifle is pointed rearward and the Soldier is looking forward, the image shows both views.
A Soldier behind a wall or other obstacle can lift the rifle over the wall and see through the sites via the heads-up display without exposing his or her head.

It even enables them to see in the dark, all with a heads-up display device that looks like night-vision goggles, according to Richard Nabors, an associate for strategic planning at U.S. Army Research who spoke about TAR at the Pentagon's Lab Day.
It is able to match the soldiers location with their target to project an accurate reading.
Currently, most Soldiers use a hand-held GPS system that approximates their position, Nabors said, but only if their device is geo-registered to their location.
Geo-registration is the alignment of an observed image with a geodetically-calibrated reference image.
TAR does the geo-registration automatically.
Staff Sgt. Ronald Geer, a counterterrorism non-commissioned officer at CERDEC's Night Vision and Electronics Sensors Directorate, said that with TAR, Soldiers don't have to look down at their GPS device.
With TAR, the image is in the eyepiece, which is mounted to the Soldier's helmet in the same way night vision goggles are mounted.

So what they would see, he said, is the terrain in front of them, overlaid with a map.
TAR is also designed to be used both day and night, he added.
The eyepiece even has a split screen, so for example, if the rifle is pointed rearward and the Soldier is looking forward, the image shows both views, he said.
Also, a Soldier behind a wall or other obstacle could lift the rifle over the wall and see through the sites via the heads-up display without exposing his or her head.
Finally, Geer said that TAR's wireless system allows a Soldier to share his or her images with other members of the squad.
The eyepiece is connected wirelessly to a tablet the soldiers wear on their waist and it's wirelessly connected to a thermal sight mounted on their rifle or carbine.
The tablet allows Soldiers to input information they need or to share their own information with others in their squad.
David Fellowes, an electronics engineer at CERDEC, said that the key technological breakthrough was miniaturizing the image to fit into the tiny one-inch-by-one-inch eyepiece.
Current commercial technology compresses images into sizes small enough to fit into tablet and cell phone-sized windows, but getting a high-definition image into the very tiny eyepiece was a challenge that could not be met with commercial, off-the-shelf hardware.
The eyepiece even has a split screen, so for example, if the rifle is pointed rearward and the Soldier is looking forward, the image shows both views
Since about 2008, CERDEC, the Army Research Laboratory and industry have been working to make this miniaturization happen, he said.
By about 2010, the image was compressed enough to be shown in black and white, as well as a greenish monochrome version, he said.
Those systems have already been fielded to certain units, he said.
Currently, CERDEC is working on producing more advanced versions that are in full color and have a brightness display that can even be seen in daylight. The current monochrome versions are also bright enough to be seen in daylight.
Fellowes said he's not sure when those will be manufactured and fielded, but during user testing, Soldiers expressed their deep appreciation of the image sharpness and contrast.
He added that the TARs will provide Soldiers with a much higher level of situational awareness than they currently have and he said he fully expects that the devices will save lives and contribute to mission success

text: Q: toric variety associated to schur polynomial? In a Schur polynomial, which is homogeneous, monomials are added with fixed coefficients. Collecting the indices of monomials seems to define a toric data for a projective variety. But the coefficients of monomials are not taken into account in this. Is there a way to define a toric variety from schur polynomials which incorporates the coefficients?

GRANA features 14 tracks of live mandolin and violin duets with six original tunes and seven improvisations over four public domain melodies, two melodies composed by Bill Monroe and Paganini's 24th Caprice.
"If you are at all a fan of the duo albums by Mike Marshall and Darol Anger or early Dawg music ... you must hear Grana by mandolin phenom Tristan Scroggins and violinist Alisa Rose."
"Alisa Rose and Tristan Scroggins have released a wonderful recording. Great tunes played beautifully, and with feeling. Hard to believe all this music comes from just two people!"
Tristan Scroggins is an award-winning mandolinist and composer from Denver Colorado. Tristan has toured extensively in the US, Canada and Ireland for the last six years with the critically acclaimed bluegrass band Jeff Scroggins and Colorado. At 22 he already has a decade of professional experience as a stage performer, instructor and recording artist. In 2016, Tristan was nominated for the Instrumental Momentum Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association and in 2017 was accepted into the Acoustic Music Seminar run by Mike Marshall as part of the Savannah Music Festival. Son of two time national banjo champion, Jeff Scroggins, Tristan originally gained notoriety as a young phenom winning multiple state championships before the age of 16. While working with Jeff Scroggins and Colorado, Tristan has been a featured artist at the International Bluegrass Music Association's Wide Open Bluegrass Festival, The European World of Bluegrass Festival, Merlefest, Rockygrass, the Father's Day Festival in Grass Valley, RTE Ireland's National Radio, and the Station Inn in Nashville. Tristan has one studio recording of all original tunes, one of which was a finalist for the International Acoustic Music Awards Instrumental Song of the Year.
Fiddler and violinist, composer and improviser, Alisa Rose is a modern musician who easily navigates between many musical styles. With roots in classical music as well as the rich American musical tradition, she attracts attention for her expressive lyrical voice on the violin.

Abstract: A novel Aplysia nucleolar protein ApLLP has been recently characterized to be a transcriptional activator that binds to the cAMP-response element (CRE) and thus induces ApC/EBP expression required for establishing long-term memory. So far, no structural information is available for both ApLLP and its homologs. Here, we expressed the entire ApLLP and its two dissected fragments, followed by structural and binding studies using CD and NMR spectroscopy. The study leads to two interesting findings: (1) all three ApLLP proteins are highly disordered, owning no predominant secondary and tertiary structures; (2) ApLLP is capable of binding the CRE DNA element but this induces no significant change in its secondary and tertiary structures. Intriguingly, it appears that the DNA-binding residues are mainly located on the C-half of the ApLLP molecule. Taken together, our results define ApLLP as an intrinsically unstructured protein and may bear important implications in understanding the molecular mechanism underlying ApLLP functions. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Right-on Robbie: Music needs to rekindle its fire
Why did it take a member of Take That to remind us that popular music has lost touch with politics?
by Richard Jinman
ROBBIE WILLIAMS bemoaned the lack of politics in music this week and said Britain needs more artists like Billy Bragg and The Clash to actively challenge the government of the day.
'Red Robbie', as absolutely no-one is calling him, admits that he has done very little to bring down governments of any persuasion from his mansion in Los Angeles. But he makes a decent point, surely?
The good ship Britannia is mired in the longest recession since the 1950s and a group of Old Etonians is at the helm. Conditions seem riper than a year-old Camembert for angry protest songs and impassioned speeches from the stage. Yet music – or rather the music offered up for mass consumption - has never seemed more apolitical.
Why, for example, is there no contemporary equivalent of Red Wedge, the collective of well-known musicians fronted by Bragg, that did its best to politicise young people in the face of Thatcherism?
It could be argued that the recent campaign to get Ding Dong the Witch is Dead to No. 1 as a protest against Thatcher's policies suggests music is still a potent form of dissent. But Judy Garland's record was an appropriated protest song. To hear the real thing – an expression of pure vituperative rage - you needed to listen to Tramp the Dirt Down, an Elvis Costello song released way back in 1989. "When England was the whore of the world," sings Costello, "Margaret was her madam."
In more recent times, you'd be hard pressed to find a musician with a public profile singing an overtly political song. It's (almost) enough to make you nostalgic for Chumbawumba, the anarcho-punk band that scored a No. 2 hit in 1997 with Tubthumping. The title was a reference to politicians jumping on populist bandwagons, but the rousing tune and cheerful refrain – "I get knocked down, but I get up again…" – was widely appropriated as a drinking song.
Remember 12 Memories, the 2003 album by cuddly Glasgow band Travis that took them into "more organic, moody and political territory"? Neither does anyone else. The album was routinely described as "brave" – music industry-speak for commercial suicide.
"Plenty of artists continue to record songs with serious political content, but none of them seem to have much popular resonance," notes Stephen M. Walt, a professor of international affairs at Harvard University. "Protest songs get recorded, but they don't make it to the top of the charts and they don't inspire much political action by their listeners."
Indeed the public's fascination with Russian band Pussy Riot – whose performance of a "punk prayer" in a Moscow cathedral saw three of its members sentenced to jail terms – suggests just how politically agnostic most popular music has become.
The Sex Pistols said "we mean it, man", but the King's Road punks were art school dilettantes compared to Pussy Riot and its high-stakes antagonism of Russian president Vladmir Putin. With their commitment to a political cause that has nothing to do with shifting units or being profiled in the Sunday supplements, it's little wonder The Guardian's Dorian Lynskey described them as "the only band that mattered in 2012".

Icona debuts electric, asymmetrical Fibonacci catamaran design
By Loz Blain
Icona debuts electric, asymmet...
The Icona Fibonacci, a catamaran design out of Turin, Italy
Icona Design
The Fibonacci is a 55-foot asymmetrical catamaran concept with 400 kW of electric propulsion
Asymmetrical staircases recall the Fibonacci sequence
Turin's Icona Design last popped up on our radar with an insanely expensive, v8-engined supercar prototype called the Vulcano whose entire bodywork was fashioned from raw titanium. Now, it's back with an electric yacht design inspired by "the numbers of nature."
The Icona Fibonacci is an asymmetrical catamaran. Its chief nod to the Fibonacci sequence would appear to be a pair of sprawling ornamental staircases that wrap themselves around the sides giving access to the flying upper deck and the helm. It might have made more sense to call it the Steinway because its roof lifts off like the lid of a grand piano and the overall shape reminds us more of that than of a seashell.
Still, this 55-footer (16.7 m) is a beauty to look at in the renders, reasonably compact but with defined areas for socializing, sunbathing and below-deck privacy.
It would be powered by a pair of 200-kilowatt (270-hp) electric motors, running off a pair of 340-kWh battery packs that make it suitable for weekend cruises with around 12 hours of cruising and another 12 hours of sitting about enjoying yourself. Pure range would be about 150 miles (240 km) when cruising at 10 knots (11.5 mph, 18.5 km/h). Charging could supposedly be accomplished in 20 minutes according to the company, but that seems like a ludicrous miscalculation to us.
Extending the range may be possible using a polymer electrolyte hydrogen fuel cell arrangement that keeps things relatively eco-friendly while seriously upping the energy density – although you'll have to give up some space below deck to go that way.
Will this one make it to the prototype stage, or will it merely serve as a portfolio piece for Icona and its partners Hydrotec, Terra Modena, ASG Power and Studio RPR? It's hard to say, but it sure is a nice thing to look at.

Huh, yeah, right, "Eco-friendly" yachts, or anything else for that matter!! Just show me how "electric" power is damaging the environment less than our current energy paradigm. As I have stated many times before, those batteries don't grow on trees or vines, they are made in FACTORIES somewhere, and they come from metals and plastics that were mined by Carbon burning machines and the electricity used to refine them came from burning Carbon based fuels in power plants.
All of these "alternative" energy powered cars, trucks and airplanes are just a hoax stemming from people who cannot think very far in a straight line. They seem to think that their "virtue signaling" and political correctness raises them above everybody else and makes them someone to be admired and praised. Baloney. All it does is show up their inability to use logic.

Суперобита́емая плане́та — гипотетический тип экзопланеты или экзолуны, который подходит для появления, эволюции и поддержания жизни больше, чем сама Земля.

Понятие было введено в 2014 году Рене Хеллером и Джоном Армстронгом, подвергшими критике общепринятые исходные посылки, используемые при поиске пригодных для жизни планет. По их мнению, нахождения планеты в так называемой обитаемой зоне недостаточно, чтобы делать утверждения о её обитаемости. Хеллер и Армстронг заявляют об отсутствии аргументов в пользу того, что именно Земля должна являться эталоном физико-химических параметров, подходящих для живых организмов: «Планеты могут не быть подобными Земле и при этом обладать более подходящими условиями для зарождения и эволюции жизни, чем Земля». Признавая, что появление жизни требует наличия воды, они выдвигают гипотезу, что Земля может не представлять оптимальные планетарные условия обитаемости для максимального биоразнообразия; другими словами, они определяют суперпригодный для жизни мир как планету или спутник, способный поддерживать более разнообразную флору и фауну, чем существует на Земле.

Хеллер и Армстронг также указывают, что не все планеты земного типа в обитаемой зоне могут быть пригодными для жизни и, наоборот, что в результате приливного разогрева могут возникать землеподобные или ледяные планеты с подлёдным океаном вне зоны обитаемости и при этом пригодные для жизни. Авторы считают, что определение жизнепригодных и суперобитаемых планет должно основываться на биоцентрическом, а не гео- или антропоцентрическом подходе. Хеллер и Армстронг предложили создать перечень характеристик для экзопланет согласно звёздному типу, массе и местоположению в их планетарной системе и прочим особенностям. По их словам, суперобитаемые миры, вероятно, должны быть больше, теплее и старше, чем Земля, и должны обращаться вокруг звёзд класса K главной последовательности.

Основные характеристики

Авторы предложили перечень характеристик, позволяющих отнести экзопланету или экзолуну к категории суперобитаемых. Масса таковой должна равняться приблизительно 2 массам Земли, а радиус — 1,3 земных, это обеспечит оптимальный размер для тектоники плит. Кроме того это создаст более высокую гравитацию, которая увеличит задержание газов во время формирования планеты, поэтому вероятно, что атмосфера окажется более плотной, с большей концентрацией кислорода и парниковых газов, которые в свою очередь повышают среднюю температуру до оптимальных значений для жизни растений — приблизительно 25 °C (77 °F). Более плотная атмосфера может также влиять на рельеф поверхности, делая его более гладким и уменьшая размер океанских бассейнов, что увеличило бы разнообразие морской флоры и фауны в относительно мелких водах.

Ещё одним фактором является тип звезды в системе. Звёзды класса K менее крупные, чем Солнце, и устойчивые на главной последовательности в течение очень долгого времени (15 — 30 миллиардов лет, по сравнению с 10 миллиардами для Солнца, звезды класса G), что предоставляет больше времени для зарождения жизни и эволюции. Суперобитаемый мир желательно должен располагаться в центре обитаемой зоны его звезды в течение долгого времени (хотя некоторый недостаток солнечной энергии может быть компенсирован приливным разогревом и/или парниковым эффектом).

Распространённость
Хеллер и Армстронг предполагают, что количество суперобитаемых планет может значительно превысить количество аналогов Земли: менее крупные звёзды главной последовательности более распространены, чем большие и более яркие звёзды, подобные Солнцу. Считается, что приблизительно 9 % звёзд в Млечном пути — звёзды класса K.

Другой пункт, указывающий на возможное превалирование суперобитаемых планет, — более высокая масса, благодаря которой большее число требований для жизни окажется выполненным случайно. Планета близкая к 2 или 3 M⊕ должна иметь более длительную тектонику плит и также будет иметь большую площадь поверхности по сравнению с Землей, что обеспечит большее число биомов и больший размер биомассы. Из-за более высокой гравитации океаны могут оказаться мельче, а атмосфера плотней, что также может благотворно сказаться на жизни.

В отличие от этого, у планет с массой Земли может быть более широкий спектр различных условий. Например, некоторые могут пройти через более короткий период активной тектоники и в итоге останутся с меньшей плотностью воздуха, что повысить вероятность развития глобального оледенения (сценарий Земли-снежка). Другой отрицательный эффект низкой плотности атмосферы может быть проявлен в форме сильных перепадов температур, которые могут привести к высокой изменчивости в мировом климате и увеличить шанс катастрофических событий. Кроме того, при наличии более слабой магнитосферы, такие планеты могут потерять атмосферный водород и стать мирами-пустынями. Любой из этих примеров может оказаться несовместим с зарождением жизни. В любом случае множество сценариев, которые могут превратить планету земной массы в зоне обитаемости солнцеподобной звезды в безжизненное место, менее вероятно на планете, которая отвечает основным характеристикам суперобитаемого мира, таким образом последний должен быть более распространён.

Here's How Much It Costs to Raise an Ivy-League Kid
Being an overbearing parent isn't cheap.

How Rich Was Warren Buffett at Your Age?

The cost of sending a kid to college is on the rise, with tuition skyrocketing in recent years. However, the cost of attending college itself is only the final installment of a long-term payment plan that starts at birth. And if you plan to send your kid to the Ivy League, you can expect those costs to be even higher.
And make no mistake about it: As an overbearing, helicopter parent, your child must attend an Ivy League school. Sure, there might be an abundance of fine universities out there that would give them a great education, but when it comes to your offspring, only the Ivy League will do.
So, here's a quick look at the sort of expenses you can expect to incur while raising a child that will one day help you become the envy of the yacht club.

Preschool Admission Coach
Cost: $400/hour
After waiting three long years as your child grows out of infancy and toddlerhood, you can finally enroll them in school and really set things in motion. But first, you need to find the right preschool. That's why $400 an hour for a preschool admissions coach is just smart. Plus, the sooner you adjust to paying high fees to consultants, coaches and tutors, the better.

Elite Private Preschool
Cost: $65,900/year
Any parent interested in sending their child to an Ivy League school has to sympathize with poor Nicole Imprescia, the woman who tried to sue the York Avenue Preschool in 2011 after her 4-year-old daughter Lucia saw her future crippled by learning about shapes and colors in what the lawsuit described as "just one big playroom."
An average preschool isn't for you, either. Go with the Stephen Gaynor School in New York, where your $65,900 a year in tuition is money well spent.

Cost: $75/hour, plus $10,000 for a top-quality oboe
What, you think your kid is getting into the Ivy League without being able to play the oboe? Please. Your offspring needs to demonstrate that they're well-rounded and interesting, and nothing helps to show that like playing an instrument. Oboe lessons will run $65 to $75 an hour. That and $10,000 for a professional-quality oboe your son or daughter will develop a deep resentment for after being subjected to hour after hour of practicing and lessons and you're on your way.

Personal Lacrosse Coach
Of course, presenting your child as a Leonardo da Vinci-level Renaissance Man or Woman also means showing an aptitude for sports. And basketball or soccer simply won't do. Nothing says "elite Northeastern upbringing" like being a lacrosse player, so hiring a top-level coach is well worth the $100 an hour or so it will cost.

Space Camp might feel like a real cliché, but the whole "reach for the stars" metaphor is too good to pass up. Plus, you need to be stimulating your child's interest in math and science, too. The age 9 to 11 group will run you just shy of $1,000 for a week.

Elite Boarding School
No matter how good your local private school might be, your child will be on school grounds for less than eight hours each day, letting learning opportunities slip away. That's why an elite boarding school is the way to go, putting them through their college prep paces while also keeping them at school 24/7.
If you select the St. Albans School outside Washington, D.C., your kid can shack up with the children of powerful politicians and well-monied lobbyists. Boarding school for grades 9 to 12 is a reasonable $64,499 a year.

Educational Trip Abroad
Cost: $6,000
Just because you're spending more on tuition for private school than most Americans make in a year doesn't mean you're doing enough. A pricey trip abroad to find new learning experiences or, at the very least, really spice up the family Instagram feed for a couple weeks is a must. A biology trip to South Africa should cost about $6,000, but think of all that time on the plane when they can study.

College Prep Summer Camp
Is your child going to get into Harvard or Yale taking three whole months off every year to enjoy their childhood? You can keep the learning pedal to the floor even in the summer months with a pricey college prep-oriented summer camp experience. The Summer Boot Camp experience from Top Tier Admissions is a steal at just $16,000.
Plan a trip to visit your kid at camp, but don't make these road trip mistakes.
College Essay Experience
One of the most important pieces of the college application is the college essay, but your child needs to have actual experiences other than "preparing to attend Princeton" to write about. Fortunately, programs like Outward Bound provide just enough rough-and-tumble living. The Southwest Rafting & Alpine Backpacking program costs just under $5,000.

Private Tutor
Cost: $1,250/hour
Just because you're paying $65,000 a year in tuition at a private academy doesn't mean you can let your son or daughter simply rely on their classroom education. Without a private tutor guiding their study outside of class as well, they might start developing their own interests. While top-end tutors will charge as much as $1,250 an hour, the ends justify the means if the ends are an Ivy League diploma.

SAT Tutor
If you're thinking that raising a thoughtful child with a strong sense of curiosity and respect for intellectual rigor will get them the SAT score they need, you clearly don't understand standardized testing. This isn't about how smart your kid is, it's about how much money you've spent preparing them to take one test. Top SAT tutors — not to be confused with your regular private tutor — will run you about $1,000 an hour.

College Consultant
As you (and your child) enter the final stretch, it's all the more important to hedge your bets and ensure your kid keeps their eye on the prize. An elite college consultant will start with your child in ninth grade and take them all the way to the goal line for a mere $42,000.

Actual Cost of College
Of course, with all of the work you put getting your child into college, one might be forgiven for assuming it's free. It most certainly is not, and you're definitely paying the sticker price. A full year's tuition in the General Studies program at Columbia University is just shy of $62,000. The cost to live in New York City isn't cheap, so expect to spend another $13,000 or so a year for room and board. Then there's $1,216 for books and just over $2,000 for various other expenses.
All told, plan to pay just under $79,000 a year for the fruits of your labors.

Your work as a helicopter parent doesn't stop once your child is safely ensconced in an Ivy. In order to keep generating fresh material to brag to your friends about, you're going to need an unpaid internship for your kid at an elite VC-firm in San Francisco. A median one-bedroom apartment rents out for $3,400 a month — plus another $106 for utilities. Over three months, that's about $10,500, none of which is coming back in wages.
Total Cost to Raise an Ivy League Kid
Cost: $2.7 million
When all is said and done, you'll spend about $2.7 million* to raise and graduate your child from an Ivy League school.

The SAT tutor would also be three hours a week, but only for one year. The preschool admissions counselor would be billed for 10 hours in total.

Featured Stories Jewish Supremacism The Latest from Dr. David Duke
Is the Rockefeller Foundation Jewish? You decide.
by Dr. Patrick Slattery February 3, 2018 10,981 Views
Thursday, on my radio show on RBN, I had a caller who pointed out the role of the Rockefeller Foundation in funding the study of psychiatry in major medical schools. This was in the context of a show that was discussing aspects of Jewish power in the United States. While the caller did not specifically claim that the Rockefellers were Jewish, it is a claim that one hears from time to time. I personally have never seen any convincing evidence that the Rockefellers were Jewish, but that may be besides the point.
Before getting to my real point, I also want to mention that I recently saw a debate between Mike Enoch of The Right Stuff and the YouTuber Tree of Logic. Mike Enoch was making the claim that Jews are over-represented among the ranks of wealthy people. Tree of Logic countered with the facts: of the 20 richest people in the world, only six are Jewish. Obviously the logic falls far from the tree. She went on to deny that the financial sector is dominated by Jews. To back this claim she cited the fact that Wells Fargo Bank was founded in 1852 by Henry Wells and William G. Fargo, who were not Jewish.
This leads me to the point I want to make. Institutions that are founded by non-Jews are often taken over by Jews and wind up becoming Jewish institutions. One could say that the New York Times was not founded by Jews, so therefore it is not a Jewish newspaper. But that would be a stupid point to make. The fact of the matter is that it did wind up being acquired by Jews who went on to hire other Jews as editors and reporters, making it effectively a Jewish newspaper. The same could be said for the Washington Post, and even though it was recently acquired by non-Jew Jeff Bezos, the founder of amazon.com, as there has yet to be any real change in its editorial or reporting staff, which remain disproportionately Jewish.
Getting back to the Rockefellers, from the best I can tell, Rockefeller is a German name and John D Rockefeller had no Jewish ancestry. He became perhaps the richest person on earth, and much of his wealth went into a foundation, which had the benefit of shielding it from taxation and thus better preserving it. And yet, could one make the case that that massive Fortune built up by the non-jewish oil magnate has fallen under effective Jewish control?
As of January 7, 2017, it's board was as follows:
Richard Parsons (chair), 2007-, Chairman of the Board, Citigroup Inc. (Black American)
Helene D. Gayle, 2009-, president and CEO of CARE. (Black American)
Donald Kaberuka, 2015-, former president, African Development Bank Group, Rwanda Minister of Finance and Economic Planning between 1997 and 2005. (Black African)
Martin L. Leibowitz, 2012-, Managing Director, Morgan Stanley; formerly TIAA-CREF (1995 to 2004) and 26 years with Salomon Brothers. (Jewish)
Yifei Li, 2013-, Country Chair, Man Group China (Chinese)
Monica Lozano, 2012-, CEO, ImpreMedia, LLC (Mexican-American)
Strive Masiyiwa, 2003-, Zimbabwean businessman and cellphone pioneer, founding Econet Wireless. (Black African)
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, 2009-, Finance Minister of Nigeria; former Managing Director of the World Bank; former Foreign Minister of Nigeria. (Black African)
Judith Rodin, President of the foundation (2005-); ex-officio member of board (Jewish)
John Rowe M.D., 2007-, professor at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health; former Chairman and CEO of Aetna Inc. (White, although the fact that he was President of The Mount Sinai Hospital and the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City has my Jew-dar beeping)
Rajiv Shah, 2015-, Distinguished Fellow in Residence, Georgetown University; previously administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from 2010-2015. (Indian American)
Ravi Venkatesan, 2014-, Chairman, Bank of Baroda; previously Microsoft India (2004-2011) and Cummins India (Indian)
A look at the list of Rockefeller Foundation board chairman shows that for much of the past few decades there has been a Jewish chairman. The Rockefeller Foundation board as of January 2017 only has two or three Jews serving on it (depending on John Rowe's pedigree), but more remarkably has at the most one non-Jewish white on it. What is most remarkable is of the 12 members, five are black, including three from Africans. There are also 2 Asian Indians, a Hispanic, and a Chinese person. There are no Rockefellers on the board, by the way.
Only two Jews out of twelve members. Disproportionate to be sure, but not enough to pass the Tree of Logic test. It's kind of strange about all those blacks on the board, though. Let's dig just a bit deeper. For 21 of the past 30 years the Foundation has had a Jewish president:
Judith Rodin (retiring) – 2005-2017; former president of the University of Pennsylvania, and provost, chair of the Department of Psychology, Yale University.
Peter Goldmark, Jr. – 1988-1997; former executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
A glance at the list of past board members reveals a number of high-profile Jews:
Orvil E. Dryfoos 1960–1963 – Publisher of the New York Times, 1961-1963.
Stephen Jay Gould 1993–2002 – Author; Professor and Curator, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.
Jessica T. Mathews, President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Washington, D.C.
Julius Rosenwald 1917–1931 – Chairman of Sears Roebuck, 1932-1939.
Arthur Hays Sulzberger 1939–1957 – Publisher of the New York Times, 1935-1961.
James Wolfensohn – former President of the World Bank.
So there you have it. A massive fortune built up by a white man (whether you like it or not) that has been under the control of a Jewish president for 21 of the past 30 years operating with a board almost totally devoid of whites. This is really the template for what Jews are trying to do with our society: take the leadership role with the backing of various minorities while completely marginalizing whites.
It is not within the scope of this article to go deep into the actual workings of the Rockefeller Foundation. It has been a major contributor to Jewish power centers like the Council on Foreign Relations, the Brookings Institution, and the World Bank, along with massive grants to the Ivy League yeshivas. Of course, much of there "good work" preceded the tenures of the Jewish presidents, including the establishment of departments of psychology at major universities, which is what my caller was drawing attention to.
The take away is that Jews have been very successful at gaining control of institutions and resources built up by white gentiles and they using them for their own purposes, including marginalizing white gentiles.

Get into the Christmas Spirit with 'A Boy Called Christmas'
The full trailer for the live-action film 'A Boy Called Christmas' promises Christmas magic and cheer this year, ahead of its November 25 release in Australian cinemas.
Based on the bestselling children's novel of the same name by Matt Haig and directed by Gil Kenan ('Monster House'), 'A Boy Called Christmas' follows a retelling of the origin story of Father Christmas - where a young Nikolas (played by Henry Lawfull) embarks on an extraordinary adventure up to the snowy North Pole in search of his father. In the meantime, his father is on a quest of his own to find the magical and mystical village of the elves, Elfhelm.
The rest of the cast is comprised of a slew of award-winning talent, such as Maggie Smith ('Downtown Abbey'), Kristen Wiig ('Bridesmaids'), Sally Hawkins ('The Shape of Water'), Stephen Merchant ('Logan'), Jim Broadbent ('Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'), Toby Jones ('Finding Neverland'), Michiel Huisman ('Game of Thrones'), and Zoe Colletti ('Annie'). With a headstrong reindeer, a trusty mouse sidekick, giant trolls, mountains, flickering candles, bears, truckloads of snow, witches, and a whole lot of heartwarming magic and hope – 'A Boy Called Christmas' looks like it could well and truly be a new holiday classic.

Thanks for the idea! My daughter is 7 and very creative. Her little table always gets too messy for my liking. I'm going to get her one of those to help her tidy up.
WE ARE JUST GETTING READY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL. I HAVE SET UP A HOMEWORK STATION BUT LOVE THIS CADDY WHICH COULD SIT RIGHT ON TOP. CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU BOUGHT THE CADDY AND WHAT ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE WAS? THANK YOU!
love your organization! so cute and colorful!
That's a cute caddy. Last year, my son's homework spot was stationary. This year, I have re-purposed the dining room for homework and other paperwork, so I need things to be more mobile. So far, I have gotten each of my kids a pencil box and it has pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and crayons in it. I might need to get a small container to hold things they share like scissors, ruler, etc. My little one (3) is so excited that he has his own pencil box that he can move around the house for coloring.
Love! We did the same thing, but in a boring plastic shoe box. I'm going to look for the pink caddy at Walmart now!
Question though, where is the label from that says "homework caddy"?
You can save money and get the same caddy at dollar tree!! I use one just like it in my preschool class!!
This is a great idea, I was just telling my husband yesterday that we needed a way to organize homework supplies.
I love this idea!!! Totally going to make one up to make our nights easier!! god knows I need all the help I can get.
This is such a great idea! Where do you store it?
I like the idea of only having the homework caddy available during homework time. Otherwise, my preschoolers would have markers all over the house. Thanks for this neat idea!
That is great! I am wondering where you purchased the caddy?
I made one and set it up almost the same way when my oldest was in grade school. She is a senior this year. It has already seen a lot of use and will get a lot more. One of my sons just started kindergarten this week. This has been a great help in keeping all the homework supplies in one spot. Love it.
Did you actually find the caddy at Walmart? I want that one!
I love your caddy! I am going to have to go to Walmart! We use just a regular pencil/pen holder to hold my kids' supplies in the kitchen, but it isn't big enough. This caddy would be perfect — thanks for the tip! I also like that the caddy is portable — my kids sometimes like to work in the kid study area (complete with bean bag chairs) that I created for them recently in our home's upstairs hallway! The space is really cute with a big owl and tree mural on the wall, and my children love it!
I LOVE your homework caddy!!! My 8-year-old does too. Did you recently purchase it at Walmart? Unfortunately, I cannot find it on their website and pink is so pretty. Could you please help? Thanks and keep up the great work!!!
Traci, I just picked this same one up at Walmart yesterday. I found it in the craft section; however, I don't think it belonged there. It was on a shelf labeled for a different product. The caddy is sold by Sterilite and the sticker on the side says "shower caddy". It also has a picture of it holding shower stuff. Maybe you could look in the back-to-school area. Or where they sell shampoo and body wash? Anyway, I love it.It's stocked with much of the items that Toni used. We're a homeschooling family who, in spite of all the supplies I buy, often had trouble locating items like a pen or sharpened pencils. And yes those things had a home, but often didn' make it back where they belonged. So I think this will be a huge help.(Thank you, thank you, Toni!!!).
This is such a must with BTS and all the homework that comes with it. I love how you got so much stuff all contained in one spot!
If you flip your markers upside down, it will make them last a lot longer. 🙂 I love all your ideas!
This is awesome! I'd love to know how much you paid for the caddy.
Do you offer the label as a printable?
Thank you, thank you, thank you ABFOL! School started Wednesday & we're all ready for homework time, kids are even excited 🙂 Found everything I needed at Walmart.
I spent a great deal of time trying to find the exact same caddy, after spinning my wheels for longer than I would like to admit I gave up! I don't think sterilite makes that one anymore. I was really stuck on the shape, design and 4 compartments, well…and I do love pink! BUT I don't think my 3 boys would of been too excited to have a PINK caddy. (I would of loved it, but its not for me!!) So I changed my search to something that would serve the same purpose but have a more boyish feel. I found the PERFECT thing at Lowes!! Its a tool caddy and it holds all the little school supplies just perfectly, but with masculine flair!!! I am pretty sure I was more excited than my guys, but they do like it!!


There are three clients available specifically for the Macintosh operating system: MacCVS (described earlier in Section A.1), MacCVSClient, and MacCVS Pro.
The Macintosh CVS clients for OS 9 and earlier don't have built-in SSH support. You can use SSH by following the tunnel workaround in Section A.1.1.3.
CVS clients in Mac OS 9 and earlier may have line-ending issues, as described in Section A.4.
OS X does not have either of these problems, as it has a built-in SSH client and both OS X and CVS use Unix-style line endings.
If you are running OS X, in addition to using the Macintosh-specific clients mentioned in this chapter, you can use the CVS command-line client, as well as the Unix and Linux graphical clients.
The Concurrent Versions Librarian (CVL) client is designed specifically for Mac OS X. It is available from http://sente.epfl.ch/software/cvl/.
MacCVSClient is available for OS X and earlier versions from http://www.heilancoo.net/MacCVSClient/.
The main display of MacCVSClient is a modules window, which provides a hierarchical list of files that includes status information. Output from commands such as diff or log is stored and can be retrieved from this window later in the session, as well as immediately after you run a command. If you switch to another application, then return, MacCVSClient attempts to refresh the cached states and modification times of any open folders.
MacCVSClient supports the pserver and ext ( rsh -only) repository-access methods . You can configure the repository path in the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu, shown in Figure A-6. Conflicts and the results of the diff command are color -coded to improve readability.
MacCVS Pro is a graphical client for the Macintosh, available from http://www.maccvs.org/. It has versions for OS X, OS 9, and earlier.
MacCVS Pro supports the Kerberos, pserver, and ext ( rsh -only) access methods. The main display is a session window, which contains a hierarchical list of available folders and files. Files are shown with status information. Output from commands such as log and diff is displayed in a separate window. diff output is color-coded.
MacCVS Pro is fully multithreaded, enabling you to run several commands simultaneously . Commands that take time, such as update and commit , have a progress bar. A find lurkers command is a useful tool for locating files that have been left uncommitted.
Figure A-7 shows the MacCVS Pro Preferences dialog in the foreground and the main display window in the background.
