Фрамгайм () — табір полярної експедиції  Руаля Амундсена в  Антарктиді, який використовувався для зимівлі перед походом на Південний полюс. Табір отримав свою назву від назви судна «Фрам», на якому сюди прибули полярники-дослідники.

Географія
Табір полярної експедиції розташовувався у крайній південній точці світового океану, а саме на  шельфовому льодовику Росса в  Китовій бухті за 4 кілометри від морського узбережжя.

Будівництво
Основою табору «Фрамгайм» був дерев'яний житловий будинок, зведений у садибі Руаля Амундсена в 1910 році братами Гансом і Йоргеном Стубберудами. Будинок був розміром 8 на 4 м в довжину і ширину, висота від коника даху до підлоги — 4 м. Житловий відсік мав площу 24 кв. м. Кухня була розміром 2 на 4 метри.

Будинок розібрали для складування на "Фрамі". Зібрали знову вже на місці зимівлі Бьяланд і Стубберуд. Підлога будинку була заглиблена у лід на 120 см. Будинок був міцним: мав потрійні стіни, подвійну підлогу і стелю. Для меблювання використали десять ліжок, плиту і стіл. 10 ліжок були розміщені уздовж стін (шість з одного боку, чотири — з іншого у два яруси). Замість одного ліжка були встановлені хронометри. Стіни будинку були з  тридюймових  досок з повітряною і картонною  ізоляцією.   Двері були герметично підігнані до одвірків. У торцевих стінах було два вікна. З потрійною рамою вікно було у житловому відсіку, з подвійною рамою — на камбузі. Дах будинку покрили толем. Підлога була додатково оббита лінолеумом.
Будинок не мав фундаменту, до землі він кріпився чотирма кутовими стовпами і шістьма болтами (довжиною 1 м), які загвинчували в лід. Дах додатково кріпився  ланцюгами. Кухонне вогнище було єдиним опалювальним засобом. Для теплоізоляції було облаштоване горище, в якому зберігалися продукти і спиртне, а також бібліотека (всього 80 книг). Там же містилася фотолабораторія. Будівельника Йоргена Стубберуда за відмінну якість роботи Амундсен включив до складу експедиції. Базу для преси називали «обсерваційною будкою», тому що плани про похід на Південний полюс приховували.

Історія

У 1910 році Руаль Амундсен вирішив спрямувати експедицію на Південний полюс. 14 січня 1911 року норвежці висадились у Китовій бухті і організували там базу для Амундсена і його товаришів. Для "Фрамгайм"у був використаний житловий будинок з садиби Амундсена. Перевезення будівельних матеріалів відбувалось 14-16 січня 1911 року. Поки Фрам розвантажували, тесля Йорген Стубберуд будував Фрамгайм: будинок для дев'яти чоловіків і 116 собак був готовий через два тижні. Членами експедиції були (Амундсен,  Гансен, Олаф Бьоланд,  Вістінг,  Гассель,  Йогансен, Адольф Хенрік Ліндстрем, Крістіан Преструд і Йорген Стубберуд. У полярників були фотоапарат і кіноапарат. До послуг також була фотолабораторія.
Вентиляція відбувалася через дві шахти і витяжну трубу камбуза. 24 червня 1911 року, коли топили вугіллям, температура в будинку підвищувалася до +35°C.
28 січня на базу перевезли понад 900 ящиків з продуктами. «Фрамгайм» функціонував з 21 січня 1911 року по 30 січня 1912 року.
Крім будинку було п'ятнадцять шістнадцятимісних армійських наметів з брезентовою підлогою, в яких  розміщували собак, зберігали горючі матеріали і свіже м'ясо. Команда заготувала за кілька місяців понад 60 тонн тюленини для людей і собак. У березні 1911 р, коли будинок був занесений снігом, були викопані тунелі для добування свіжого питного льоду, облаштовані майстерні, лазня і санвузол. За допомогою примуса в приміщеннях підтримувалася плюсова температура, збиралася тала вода, яку використовували на господарські потреби. Амундсен прагнув, щоб кожен міг кілька годин на день усамітнюватися.
«Фрам» пішов з  Китової бухти 15 лютого 1911 року. З лютого по квітень, Амундсен і його команда здійснили три походи на південь до 84 пд. ш. Вони перевезли туди 1200 кг провіанту і розмітили трасу. Амундсен дбав про заняття і моральний клімат для полярників. Зимівники мали грамофон і набір платівок класичного репертуару. Для розваги також служили карти і дартс. На відміну від Нансена, який вважав алкогольні напої злом у полярних експедиціях, Амундсен на зимівлі, як і під час плавання «Фрама», розпоряджався, щоб команда отримувала горілчаний пайок у середу, неділю і у свята. Під час санних походів спиртне не дозволяли.
У листопаді-грудні 1911 року Крістіан Преструд, Йорген Стюбберуд і Ялмар Йогансен зробили короткий санний похід до  Землі короля Едуарда VII, намагаючись відшукати Південний полюс. Це їм не вдалося. Охоронцем табору "Фрамгайм" у  цей період був кок експедиції — Адольф Хенрік Ліндстрем.
«Фрам» вдруге прибув у Китову бухту 9 січня 1912 року. 30 січня 1912 року о 20:30 за місцевим часом  табір був залишений назавжди.

Подальша доля
Недовикористаним залишився запас провіанту, гасу і вугілля мінімум на півтора року вперед. Амундсен сподівався, що ці запаси стануть в пригоді майбутнім експедиціям.
Табір відвідували представники інших двох експедицій: 4 лютого 1911 року — лейтенант Віктор Кемпбелл, Гаррі Пеннелл і Мюррей Левік з судна «Terra Nova» експедиції  Скотта — провели кілька днів в Фрамгаймі. І 16 січня 1912  року лейтенант Нобу Сірасе (白 瀬 矗,  Shirase Nobu , 1861—1946) — керівник  японської експедиції на «Кайнан-Мару». Після 1912 року відсутні дані про користування базою.
З 1928 року «Фрамхайм» не існує: від шельфового льодовика відколовся айсберг, який забрав залишки станції в океан.

Q: linear transformation $T$ is onto if and only if $T^*$ is one to one Let $V$ and $W$ be $F$-vector space, and $V^*$ and $W^*$ be the dual space of $V$ and $W$, respectly. Let $T:V \to W$ be a linear transformation. Define $T^*:W^* \to V^*$ by $T^*(f)=f\circ T$ for all $f\in W^*$. Show that $T$ is onto if and only if $T^*$ is one to one.
My attempt:
$T$ is onto $\implies$ $T^*$ is one to one: Since $T$ is onto, given $w\in W$, $\exists v\in V$, such that $T(v)=w$. Then, if $f,g\in W^*$ such that $T^*(f)=T^*(g)$, then $f\circ T\equiv g\circ T$,so $f\circ T(v)=g\circ T(v)$ $\forall v\in V$. For that given $w$ we earlier mentioned $f(w)=f(T(v))=g(T(v))=g(w)$, and since $w$ is arbitrary, we have $f\equiv g$.
But the other direction of the proof I got stuck:
$T^*$ is one to one $\implies$ $T$ is onto : Since $T$ is one to one, $\ker(T)=\{0\}$..., and I can't go further, thanks for help!
Thanks martini, I have a typo, it should be proving $T^*$ is one to one $\implies$ $T$ is onto, does it use the same way?

A: Let $(v_i)$ be a basis of $V$, as $T$ is one-to-one $(Tv_i)$ is a basis of $T[V]$, the image of $T$. Extend it by $(w_j)$ to a basis of $W$.
Now let $f \in V^*$ be given, define $g \in W^*$ by linear extension of
$$ g(Tv_i) = f(v_i), \qquad g(w_j) = 0 $$
Then $g \in W^*$ and for every $i$, we have
$$ (T^*g)(v_i) = g(Tv_i) = f(v_i) $$
as $T^*g$ and $f$ agree on a basis of $V$, we have $T^*g = f$. So $T^*$ is onto.

Now we prove that $T$ is onto, if $T^*$ is one-to-one:
As $T^*$ is one-to-one, we have that $f \circ T = 0$ implies $f = 0$ for $f \in W^*$, that is any linear functional, which vanishes on $T[V]$, vanishes on the whole of $W$, but this is only possible for $T[V] = W$. For, suppose $T[V] \subsetneq W$, choose a basis $(w_i)_{i\in I}$ of $T[V]$ and extend it to a basis $(w_i)_{i\in I \cup J}$. Define $f \in W^*$ by linear extension of $$ f(w_i) = 0, i\in I, \qquad f(w_i) = 1, i \in J $$
Then $f|_{T[V]} = 0$, that is $f \circ T = 0$, but $f \ne 0$. Hence $T[V] = W$.

Building Outside Silicon Valley Helped Grooveshark Succeed
Sprouter
Jun. 19, 2011, 9:42 PM
Silicon Valley may be thought of as the entrepreneurship capital of the world, but not every entrepreneur is dying to build a company there.
Grooveshark co-founder Josh Greenberg says their headquarters in Gainesville, Florida may not be a startup hotspot, but it's helped the company succeed. " I really don't believe something like Grooveshark—from our product to our personnel—could come out of most places like Silicon Valley," he says. "The music industry is tightly competitive, and being in Gainesville has really helped us stay lean. I don't have to tell you the difference between a nice apartment for rent between Gainesville and a Manhattan or Mountain View." Additionally, he says their location ensures that anyone working at Grooveshark does so out of passion and a true drive to help innovate rather than a paycheck.
Greenberg says it's all about finding the right place for your company. "Silicon Valley is a great community, and has a great roster of successful companies, but that doesn't mean it's the right fit for everybody. The University of Florida is probably mostly known for Gatorade and Tim Tebow, but there is a great community of investors, techies, and impassioned entrepreneurial students that make for a great mix that has worked right for Grooveshark."
Grooveshark co-founder, Josh Greenberg.
It was the University of Florida where Greenberg started Grooveshark, but his entrepreneurial journey started much earlier. "I didn't always know I wanted to be an entrepreneur, but then again I started being one before I knew I wanted to be one," Greenberg says. "In high school I started off with simple development work for clients, but didn't think too much of it at the time. When I moved away for college, I began to take on larger projects. Over time entrepreneurship grew into something that I've become very passionate about."
While he was passionate about entrepreneurship, the passion for music came from his co-founder Sam Tarantino, who is a musician himself. "When we first talked about the early idea for Grooveshark it was apparent that music definitely drove him," he says. "My interest in music, in particular, is that it is something that naturally excites almost everyone on Earth - and being in a company where my day-to-day job is building a team of passionate music fans to work on a product for passionate music fans is a pretty lucky day job even in the entrepreneurial community."
Tarantino had the original idea for Grooveshark while he was a sophomore in college. "He was driving to 'donate' (read: sell) plasma to help pay the rent, and on the way he passed a used record store sporting a sign that said 'Buy, Sell, Trade,' and Sam thought 'Why can't there be a similarly fair, sustainable model for digital music distribution, too?'" Weeks later they were discussing the music industry at an entrepreneurship club meeting on campus, and the idea for Grooveshark took shape. The service is an on-demand music sharing service that allows users to create and share playlists. The site makes money through advertising and a VIP subscription service, and since its launch in 2006 the company has grown to 32 employees.
While the company had two passionate entrepreneurs at the helm, Greenberg says the biggest challenge in the early days was finding and hiring the right people. "Building a great team of only the best and brightest individuals truly is a never-ending process, and although it's a challenge, it's one I'm lucky to be able to face," he says. "I don't see our hiring standards decreasing any time soon, so it's a challenge I look forward to having for the next five years as well."
He says that while they've faced their fair share of obstacles over the last five years, hiring remains the biggest challenge. But one of the keys to that challenge is realizing that passion is contagious, so they need to tap into their existing employee base. "Something we've found true in our experience is that if you find one person who is really passionate about something—whether that's programming, music, anything—they tend to know many others who are equally passionate. Most of our best hires have been born from finding one crucial person in an area, and asking if they have any friends interested in interviewing," he says. "Passionate people are also great at recognizing genuine passion in others - we rely heavily on our employees' gut reactions to interviewees during our hiring process. If our employees get a bad feeling about a potential new hire, we take that as a serious early warning sign."
Greenberg was lucky to find a passionate co-founder to build his company. And while finding a great partner or co-founder can be difficult, Greenberg says it's especially necessary for young entrepreneurs. "Even for people with years of experience in an industry, it's easy to not know what you don't know and having a partner to bounce ideas off of can be invaluable. Everyone has strengths, and if you can find a partner who excels where you don't - or aren't interested in - it can grow your company exponentially quicker than trying to take it all on alone."
The online music space is full of Grooveshark competitors including Last.fm and Pandora. "There are a lot of players in the online music space, and more coming everyday. Some services, like Pandora, are easy to differentiate Grooveshark from because the radio service they offer is inherently different than what we do." But despite the competition, Greenberg says it's all about removing barriers between music fans and the songs they want to hear. "At the end of the day, the entire music industry is competing with piracy, so our philosophy is to focus on product development above all else, so we can provide a better experience than is available illegally."
Greenberg has said that he wants Grooveshark to be the YouTube of music. But for him it wouldn't stop at ubiquity - he would constantly keep striving to be better. "I'm really happy with the team we've built, the products we've released, and the growth we've received," he says. "Of course, YouTube is practically a verb now and is one of the largest websites in the world, which is definitely something to aspire to. Even if we reach that level of notoriety, however, we still won't feel like we've achieved everything. Has YouTube stopped innovating and improving their service?"
Greenberg follows the Nike philosophy of entrepreneurship - he says his biggest piece of advice to entrepreneurs is to just do it. "Take the risk. Now is the best time in your life to do so - after all, if you're planning on going nowhere but up, you're always going to have more to lose tomorrow than you do today," he says. "You're young—get out there! Start a company. If it fails, start another one. Keep trying, and always remember that your perception shapes the world around you, so don't settle for a low expectation of yourself."
As for what's next for Grooveshark, Greenberg says only time will tell. Whatever he does next, the location will remain the same. "Even though we're expanding our teams into places more traditionally viewed as music and tech hubs, the core of Grooveshark will always be in Gainesville."

Q: NullReferenceException on ShowDialog I'm new on WPF develpment with Prism Framework. I've watched some Brian's videos to learn about this two arguments.
Now I'm developing an app but I've an issue when I try to open a custom window dialog before the main window.
This is my simple window to open:
<Window x:Class="Dinamo.Window1"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Dinamo"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="Window1" Height="450" Width="800">
    <Grid>
        <TextBox>WINDOW</TextBox>
    </Grid>
</Window>

and the class into xaml.cs
public partial class Window1 : Window, IDialogWindow
    {
        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public IDialogResult Result { get => throw new NotImplementedException(); set => throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    }

This is my shell class:
public partial class App
    {
        protected override Window CreateShell()
        {
            return Container.Resolve<MainWindow>();
        }

        protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnStartup(e);
        }

        protected override void RegisterTypes(IContainerRegistry containerRegistry)
        {
            containerRegistry.RegisterDialogWindow<Window1>();
        }
    }

and the MainWindowViewModel
public MainWindowViewModel(IDialogService dialogService)
        {
            dialogService.ShowDialog("Window1", null, null);
        }

But when I try this code I receive the error: 'A dialog's content must be a FrameworkElement'
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

A: The name of the window is the fourth parameter. The first one is supposed to be a UserControl that defines the content of the dialog window:
dialogService.ShowDialog("UserControl1", null, null, "Window1");

You'll find an example here.

British Town Class Cruisers (Hardback)
Southampton & Belfast Classes: Design, Development & Performance

You'll be £40.00 closer to your next £10.00 credit when you purchase British Town Class Cruisers. What's this?
Entering service between 1937 and 1939, the ten British 'Town' class cruisers were the most modern vessels of their type in the Royal Navy when the Second World War began. Built in response to large 6-inch gunned cruisers in the US and Japanese Navies and primarily designed for the defence of trade, they saw arduous service in a wide range of roles, playing a decisive part in victories such as the Battle of the Barents Sea and the destruction of the German Scharnhorst at the North Cape. The cost was heavy: four of the ships were lost and the other six all survived heavy damage, in some cases on more than one occasion.
In this major study, Conrad Waters makes extensive use of archive material to provide a technical evaluation of the 'Town' class design and its subsequent performance. He outlines the class's origins in the context of inter-war cruiser policy, explains the design and construction process, and describes the characteristics of the resulting ships and how these were adapted in the light of wartime developments. An overview of service focuses on major engagements, assessing the extent to which the class met its designers' expectations and detailing the consequences of action damage. Concluding chapters continue the story into the Cold War era, examining the modernisation programme that kept the remaining ships fit for service during the 1950s. Heavily illustrated with contemporary photographs and drawings by A D Baker III, John Jordan and George Richardson, British Town Class Cruisers provides a definitive reference to one of the Royal Navy's most important Second World War warship designs.
This is an excellent examination of these famous ships, beautifully illustrated, and very detailed. Perhaps its best feature is the examination of how well they actually performed, ranging from a look at the accuracy of their gunfire to the detailed studies of how well they absorbed damage.
The visuals shine through the quality of his illustrations and photographs from great professionals such as A. D. Baker III, John Jordan and George Richardson.

With the heavy action seen by the Town cruisers so soon after their construction, it is fitting that someone so clearly devoted to telling their story as accurately as possible undertook this work, and it is doubtless that Waters' scholarship will serve as a solid foundation for further research into the Royal Navy's cruiser force in the Second World War and Korea.
The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord, (Vol. XXIX, No. 4, Fall 2019)
This is the form of naval history that the publisher and author excel at. The large format, beautifully produced and presented book covers one of the most important classes of cruiser to serve the Royal Navy. – Most Highly Recommended.
In keeping with the well-established Seaforth model for major texts, this large book is packed with superb illustrations, both original plans and drawings, photographs and diagrams, all linked into a detailed text based on extensive research in primary sources, including Admiralty correspondence, the Ship's Covers series held by the National Maritime Museum and official American images from the many wartime visits these ships paid to American dockyards for action damage, repairs and refits. The ultimate history of an important class that saw action from Norway to the Eastern Seas, helped sink two German battleships, commanded the world ocean and supported D-Day is also the best preparation for a visit to HMS Belfast.
The Naval Review – reviewed by Andrew Lambert Kings College, London
A marvellous book which will interest naval historians and modellers alike, I can't imagine a more detailed work on them. The one extra thing I'd hope is that some of those who visit HMS Belfast on the Thames today will be inspired to read this book, and perhaps kick start that interest/fascination with the history of the vessel and her sister ships.
Military Model Scene, Robin Buckland
Friends of the Museum of the Royal Navy
"The book is highly recommended. It provides the best history of a single class yet published."
Conrad Waters writes extensively for Pen and Sword on a variety of subjects. His latest book, on British Town Class Cruisers, is comprehensive and brilliantly written, an essential addition to the vast library of literature on Britain's navy and ships of the line.
Heavily illustrated with contemporary photographs, original plans and specially commissioned drawings, this book provides a definitive reference to one of the Royal Navy's most important Second World War warship designs.
Model Boats, February 2020 – reviewed by John Deamer
A magnificent, richly illustrated book with an excellent collection of plans and diagrams. An in-depth study on the characteristics, modifications and operational history of these vessels.
We hope that the author will take out new volumes dedicated to Dido-class anti-aircraft cruisers and the derivatives of this class built during the conflict.
We have not found any negative aspects and can only recommend it without a doubt. Essential in the library of any fan of naval history.
Blog Naval
The book follows on from the recent gold rush of naval histories from this publisher. I put these books on a slow burner – browsing the snaps and working my way periodically through the serious stuff. It is a reference book, but it is also a Sunday afternoon armchair with a cup of tea experience… especially when my favourite football team is three nil down at half time and I have to turn the tv off for sanity's sake.
This has been a fantastic year for Seaforth books and this last instalment is an absolute gem. I fully appreciate I approach it from a somewhat shallow aiming point, but I do learn stuff while loving the imagery. More serious naval buffs will be as happy with it as I am. Highly recommended.
War History Online, Mark Barnes
We are in front of an authentic "major" book that, in the usual sober and elegant format Seaforth Publishing works, combines exhaustiveness, in-depth analysis and uncommon iconographic qualities creating what we are sure will become a "classic" in naval publishing, on the line of many books of an absolute level that preceded it, always from Seaforth.
STORIA militare, January 2020
The book is an excellent study of how the original staff requirement produced ships that proved capable of accepting the weight and volume of additional new equipment including radar, close-range armament and action-information centres that were unknown at the time it was written. HMS Sheffield, for instance, was the first ship in the RN to be fitted with radar. They were also adapted post-war to feature improved accommodation and those that survived saw a total of two decades of service in an era that saw unprecedented levels of change in the size, composition and deployment of the RN. This book is the best case-study of a specific design that I have read, setting a high standard which must be considered the bench mark against which future descriptions of warship types should be judged. I have no hesitation in recommending it to a wide readership.

Igloolik woman releases film on Inuit healing and reconciliation
"I had to step in and work on myself for the research to be successful," Romani Makkik says
Romani Makkik, who grew up in Igloolik, released her film The Wounded Healers, after two years of research and filming. (Screenshot from film)
By Mélanie Ritchot
"How can we as Inuit come to reconcile amongst ourselves?" asks Romani Makkik as the basis for her new short film, The Wounded Healers, which was released on Dec. 14.
In Inuktitut, Makkik, who is originally from Igloolik, takes viewers along her personal journey moving to Thunder Bay to attend treatment for alcoholism, getting her master's degree at Lakehead University, and travelling to Clyde River for research and creating her film.
After seeing Tony Kalluk's film Back from the Brink, Makkik said she knew she wanted to do research for her master's thesis on the Ilisaqsivik Society in Clyde River, where Kalluk became a counsellor after overcoming addiction.
The Ilisaqsivik Society helps people in the Baffin Island community live healthy lives and gives them access to community support.
"I was proud of him and very much envious of him," she says of Kalluk in the film.
Makkik began travelling back and forth between Thunder Bay and Clyde River for community visits and eventually took part in the society's Our Life's Journey program herself to fully understand the experience.
Our Life's Journey is a counsellor-training and mentorship program. It focuses on healing through oral tradition and storytelling between Inuit, all in Inuktitut.
"We have collective trauma and we can collectively talk about them and find ways to address them as individuals who have ripple effects in families and in communities," said Makkik.
She said she felt the need to work on her own self improvement for her research to be successful. Taking part in the program gave her that opportunity in an Inuit environment where other Inuit understood her pain.
"I had to step in and work on myself for the research to be successful," said Makkik. "I wouldn't have been true to Ilisaqsivik if I didn't take this route of sharing my story while learning."
The film, which is about 30 minutes long and posted on YouTube, touches on residential schools, the tuberculosis epidemic, relocation of Indigenous communities, and other events Inuit have endured over the years and how they affect Inuit to this day.
"If we're going to reach reconciliation, we need to understand how Inuit have been hurt in the past," she said.
Makkik said it was a challenge to attend university in the south.
"I've had fellow Inuit tell me I'm less Inuk because I'm going to university and I'm losing my identity," she said.
But she said she has reconciled with her own journey and interests. She likes school, and she likes academia. Now, Makkik says she's using what she's learned to help others.
Now living in Ottawa, Makkik has a master's degree in social justice studies from Lakehead University.

Good for you Malik
People of any culture who try to better themselves always get unfairly criticized.
When I saw Tony Kalluk, I thought it was Shorty O'Reilly from Liverpool, England.
A small guy, but very handy with his fists. We used to workout a lot in the Army.

Holidays in Spain: Pollution costs a popular resort area money because tourists avoid it.
Holidays in Spain: Pollution costs a popular resort area money because visitors avoid it.
A WELL-KNOWN Spanish resort area is losing money.
This is due to the obnoxious pollution.
According to a new study, the tourist area in Mar Menor loses money every night due to pollution.
Every cubic millimetre of chlorophyll found in the lagoon waters reduces the cost of a holiday around Mar Menor by one euro (83p) per night.
Every negative social media comment cost it another £1.54 per night.
The 'Smaller Sea,' or Mar Menor, is Spain's largest saltwater lagoon, located near sunny Cartagena.
Tourists used to flock to the areas surrounding Mar Menor to take advantage of the lagoon's clear and safe waters.
However, due to pollution, the state of the Mar Menor has deteriorated significantly in recent years.
Due to the polluted water conditions, all of the Mar Menor beaches lost their Blue Flag status in 2017.
Thousands of dead fish have washed up on the lagoon's shores in two major environmental incidents since 2019.
Intensive farming in the surrounding areas is thought to have contributed to the pollution.
Fertilizer chemicals have depleted the water's oxygen supply and wiped out many of the lagoon's inhabitants.
The state of Mar Menor is costing the region's tourism industry, according to a new study by Ricardo Teruel of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena.
Each milligram of chlorophyll in the Mar Menor reduces holiday prices by one euro (83p) per night, according to Teruel.
He also discovered that negative social media comments about the lagoon caused prices to drop by nearly 1.84 euros (£1.54) per night.
The areas closest to the lagoon and without access to the Mediterranean sea were the most affected.
"The price effect is even more pronounced in accommodations outside of La Manga, where guests have the option of bathing in the Mediterranean (sea")," Teruel said.
The water reportedly turned green in August 2021 after five tonnes of dead fish washed up on the Mar Menor's shores.
The stench was so bad that regional officials had to close eight beaches because of it, according to onlookers.
Due to its pleasant climate and numerous amenities, the area around Mar Menor was once very popular among British expats.
"With hindsight, I wouldn't buy in this area again," one expat said on an expat forum.
"Several years ago, the entire Mar Menor was stripped of its blue flag status.
There's no trace of it.

Heart in mouth time when he took that high ball but surviving a bump like that must have done his confidence a world of good.
Escaré is the perfect bench player. Injects a lot of pace into the game when defences are tiring and has a decent passing game. Could be our Rob Burrow.
I agree and I would be a bit gutted if the rumours that he's returning to France are true.
Said that a few months ago and got shot down, " players like Burrow get worked out" and "No place for that kind of player in the modern game". Escare offers something different off the bench. It may not always work but that is life. We have been too formulaic at times having the option to change is valuable.
Agreed but looking at his body language when he was waiting on the bench for so long it was clear he wasn't happy, almost sulking which I can't really blame him for, I felt a little sorry for him truth be told. I thought once he came on he did well, looked lively and energetic.
I suppose his hope is that he'll be far more important for Lam then Wane if he's still here next season. He's shown some fantastic skill this season Escare but Wane clearly doesn't have a huge amount of trust in him (maybe rightfully so).
If Lam is true to his word and attempts to play an open brand of rugby then you'd have to think Escare will thrive under him and will be handy to have in the squad to cover various positions or add real impact from the bench.
Yeah he is effective in the role he is playing but I do feel we under-utilise him. He is so dangerous ball in hand that I don't think he should be sitting on the bench for over half the game.
Great to see Dom back playing in any capacity, but the best thing about it was just how much he looked ready in such a brutal game.
I think a fully fit & firing Manfredi probably would've played more of a role in taking some of the work away from our forwards in our own half, and you can understand him wanting to slowly build up to playing that sort of role, but it terms of what he did out wide and close to their line it was like he's never been away!
Both tries took some scoring, that second one in particular when he was bashing players out the way was an absolute joy. Made up for him.
I agree with what people are saying about Escare.
His run and pass to Gildart leading to the Manfredi 1st try was excellent. But in the same move also showed his weakness, his positioning was bad, so much so that he let the ball bounce 10m out from our try line. This time he got lucky and the ball went straoght to him, enabling him to execute the skill to get Gildart away.
But letting the ball bounce is dangerous, and it could have quite easily led to a try for Warrington if luck hadn't gone his way.

The Community of Practice Initiative, designed by the National Center for Creative Aging (NCCA) and in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Office of Accessibility is the first-of-its-kind community of practice initiative to support state arts agencies (SAAs) in developing infrastructure and programming in arts, health, and aging in their state. Aimed at addressing the growing population of aging adults, this program is meant to support and empower arts agencies in creating infrastructure designed to help people creatively flourish across their lifespan.
The potential impact of the Initiative has been immense. It has allowed the NCCA to establish a nation-wide community of practice that has helped to grow the creative aging field. Not only has it been instrumental in helping strengthen State Arts Agencies, it has also increased the knowledge base of creative aging activities, programs, and practices across the nation.
Special thanks to the National Assembly for State Arts Agencies (NASSA) for assisting the NCCA throughout this initiative.

Q: How to conditionally append incremented suffix to vector in R I have a character vector in R with reoccurring values:
vec <- c('22','22','22','45','45','45','56','67','67','67','89','90')

I want to append _1, _2, _3 to similar values in the vector to get a vector like:
vec <- c('22_1','22_2','22_3','45_1','45_2','45_3','56'_1,'67_1','67_2' ...

My question is how do I increment conditionally ('56' is singular and does not need an appended value). I have tried writing a loop and store occurrence counts in a list, but it is very verbose and I suspect there is an easier way of doing this within the apply family.

A: We can use ave and get the sequence grouped by 'vec', then paste it with the original vector.
 res <- paste(vec, ave(vec, vec, FUN=seq_along), sep="_")

In case, we need to replace the _1 from elements that have a frequency of 1, use table to get the frequency, subset the elements that matches the names of the 'table' having frequency 1 with the 'res' and remove the _ followed by zero or more characters with sub.
 tbl <- table(vec)
 names(tbl)[tbl==1]
 i1 <- vec %in% names(tbl)[tbl==1]
 res[i1] <-  sub('_.*', '', res[i1])
 res
 #[1] "22_1" "22_2" "22_3" "45_1" "45_2" "45_3" "56"   "67_1" "67_2" "67_3"
 #[11] "89"   "90"

Or we can just use make.unique
 make.unique(vec, sep="_")
 #[1] "22"   "22_1" "22_2" "45"   "45_1" "45_2" "56"   "67"   "67_1" "67_2"
 #[11] "89"   "90"

Q: How to boot back into Linux after Windows 10 install Preface
On this computer I had Windows 7 installed. I accidentally broke it, so I installed Linux Mint (since Linux is free and I didn't want to pay for Windows). Recently I was able to install Windows 10 on the partition that previously contained my broken Windows 7 (I looked at all the files and decided that I had them (or equivalent) stored in other places).
Problem
Now this is where my problem comes in. Once I installed Windows 10, it boots up fine... the only problem is that the installation seems to have broken (possibly overwritten) the GRUB2 bootloader, and now I can't boot into Linux.
I've looked at many Q&As here on Super User, but none of them worked.
(so please don't mark this as a duplicate unless I say it works in my situation! Thank you)
Possible Solution #1
There was one that got pretty close to solving my problem. It was having me use EasyBCD to add Linux to the bootloader, but I didn't know where the boot files are stored in a Linux system.
I don't know how others are, but I have three partitions, one for the filesystem (which this is where I suspected the boot files to be, but it didn't work), one for /home (I was going to select this one next, but I wanted to ask this question, before I messed anything up anymore...), and one for the swap (I know the boot files aren't in this partition).
Possible Solution #2
One was talking about installing Linux and then using some BCD software to add it to the bootloader, would this work in my situation? When Linux is already installed?
Final thoughts
For anyone who answers my question just know that I don't care if I have the GRUB2 bootloader or a Windows bootloader (or one that looks like a Windows bootloader). I just want to be able to boot into both Linux and Windows when I want (since I've found that there are big pros to both)

A:  Regarding your Possible Solution #1

I discourage the use Of EasyBCD.To keep it sort - it messes with bootloaders in unpredictable ways and hard to remove completely once installed
Rod-Smith on EasyBCD {Taken from this answer}

First, the last I heard, EasyBCD was useless for managing a
Windows/Linux dual-boot on an EFI-based computer, so I recommend you
stop trying to use it.

Regarding Possible Solution #2

If you mean like this use windows bootloader to boot linux (this is one of my previous answers)
If this is what you mean then no, this method will not work because linux already installed.

Possible solutions #1
1.Create a live USB from the ISO of whichever Linux you have
2.Boot the live system
3.Chroot the installed system and reinstall bootloader

3A.Mount your partition
sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt  #Replace sda2 with root partition

If you have a separate /boot, /var or /usr partitions
sudo mount /dev/sdXW /mnt/boot

sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/var

sudo mount /dev/sdXZ /mnt/usr

3B.Bind mount some necessary stuff
for i in /sys /proc /run /dev; do sudo mount --bind "$i" "/mnt$i"; done

3C.If Ubuntu is installed in EFI mode
sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/boot/efi

3D.chroot into your Ubuntu install
sudo chroot /mnt

3E.reinstall grub
grub-install /dev/sdx

3F.Update grub : Regenerate grub files by running update-grub
update-grub

3G.If everything worked without errors, then you're all set
exit
sudo reboot

Upon reboot Grub will help you boot desired OS

Ultrasonic sensors use time of flight of sound in air to sense objects and to measure distance. Compared to other measuring principles ultrasound is very robust. It works well in dirty environments and sound waves are reflected by almost all surfaces, rendering this technique insensitive to material, colour and surface structure of the detection target.
new SONARANGE® transducers working at high electrical voltages, allowing small, moving and poorly reflecting objects to be safely detected. In addition the sensors can operate in highly contaminated environments. With a length of < 40mm these compact sensors have an extremely high measuring range.
The compact UPR-A ultrasonic sensors are characterised by a wide measurement range of 1.5m. These sensors are configurable via a "teach in" function. Three different detection beam sizes can be set by the user, allowing the sensor to be adapted to the application.
The compact UPR-B ultrasonic sensors have a wide measurement range adjustable between 100mm to 1000mm. These sensors are configurable via a "teach in" function. The UPR-B sensor features sealing that renders them impervious to many environmental influences. They are particularly resistant to oil, unlike many other ultrasonic sensors.
harsh environments. The chemical resistance is based on the use of PVDF & PTFE materials on exposed areas.
This adaptation of the UPS ultrasonic sensor has a very narrow focus beam suitable for measurements where the detection region is very small.
The UPF-A are ultrasonic through-beam sensors with separate transmitters and receivers. They are suited to edge detection on web guiding systems. In contrast to conventional barriers, they give an analogue signal proportional to the degree of covering of the ultrasonic receiver rather than an on/off output. A fully covered receiver gives an output of 0V, a fully uncovered receiver gives an output of 10V (or vice versa, the signal can be inverted).
Ultrasonic fork barriers have a transmitter and a receiver, each mounted on one side of the fork housing. The transmitter	beam is focused on the receiver. When the beam is interrupted by the object to be detected the receiver output changes state. The output signal can be set to NO or NC.
The UPF-L ultrasonic label sensor detects very thin and transparent film labels yet also offers enough space for thicker, folded labels. A clear operating menu with integrated display enables intuitive adjustment of the sensor functions without the aid of an operating manual. The ultrasonic technology with SONARANGE transducers is superior to optical and capacitive sensors when sensing	transparent label material.
In addition to label detection, the UPF-L is suitable for edge detection or the detection of small holes or perforations.


The GEM systems recover a non-renewable resource, Geopressured-Geothermal (GPGT) brines, and convert it into a renewable energy resource (solar ponds) while enabling cost-effective enhanced recovery of collocated oil. The cost-offsets of the oil recovery process essentially pay for building the solar ponds.
The GPGT conversion system recovers raw GPGT brine through a wellbore, separates the natural gas, and concentrates the brine in a multi-effect evaporator.
The gas and distilled H2O are used in a patented process to steamflood collocated (shallower) heavy oil reservoirs. The process uses half the gas of conventional methods, thereby reducing the carbon footprint while also mitigating environmental problems with produced water disposal.
The GEM design enables building large-scale solar ponds from the concentrated brine discharge using revenue offets from the steamflood oil recovery process. The solar ponds are equipped and used for long-term production of solar-thermal electricity.
The system is proposed for deployment in California and Texas, where the two largest U.S. GPGT basins exist. The CA GPGT capacity is estimated at 1000+ baseline systems, and the TX GPGT capacity is conservatively twice that of CA.
One CA baseline system's projected yield is 6000 bpd steam (800 psi, x=0.80 quality), for a five-year GPGT flow-life, est. 1-4 MM bbls oil recovered per system. The corresponding solar pond for such a system is projected to yield an annual average 2 MWe (continuous).
The full potential in CA alone is 1-4+ Bbbls of recovered oil and 2+ GWe renewable electricity.


PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Senior quarterback Zack Edwards (Brookfield, Mass.) threw for a season-high 225 yards and three touchdowns to lead Plymouth State University to a 38-6 win over Worcester State University in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) football game at Currier Field on Homecoming Weekend on Saturday.
PSU got off to a quick start when senior Mitch Banuskevich (Milford, N.H.) streaked 57 yards down the right sideline on the opening kickoff, setting up the Panthers with great field position. One play later Edwards connected with sophomore Max Osgood (Nashua, N.H.) for a 22 yard touchdown and Plymouth State rolled from there.
Edwards added a 31 yard touchdown toss to sophomore Cooper Gorski (Weare, N.H.) later in the first quarter, before connecting with Osgood again midway through the fourth. Banuskevich and junior Nick Lancia (Bedford, N.Y.) added touchdown runs, as PSU picked up 345 yards of total offense.
Plymouth State improves to 2-2 overall and 1-2 in the MASCAC, while Worcester State goes to 2-3 and 1-2 in league action.
* After the initial opening kickoff went out of bounds, Plymouth State opted to push the ball back and have the Lancers re-kick. The decision payed immediate dividends as Banuskevich split a pair of would-be tacklers and sprinted down the right sideline 57 yards to the Worcester State 22-yard line.
* Edwards found Osgood open on the right side for a 22-yard touchdown on the next play from scrimmage and the Panthers led 7-0 just 18 seconds into the game.
* After the teams combined for three straight punts, PSU had its next drive stopped when senior Chris Cesar (Lowell, Mass.) cut in front of a Panthers' receiver for an interception near midfield. The Plymouth State defense got the ball right back three plays later. Senior Dex Andrews (Dorchester, Mass.) was bottled up in the backfield for a loss on a fourth-and-one at the PSU 46-yard line. Andrews lost the ball and sophomore Elijah Bussell (Athens, Maine) scooped it up.
* PSU quickly took advantage of the turnover. Lancia ran for an 11-yard gain and, facing fourth-and-six, Edwards found Gorski on the left sideline. Gorski cut back and into the end zone for a 31-yard score and 14-0 lead.
* Plymouth State added another touchdown on its next possession. Lancia hit a seam and burst through the middle for 36 yards before getting caught from behind by freshman AJ Byard (Lowell, Mass.) at the 1-yard line. Three plays later Banuskevich jumped over a pile for his first touchdown of the year and a 21-0 advantage.
* The Lancers followed with a 13-play, 41-yard drive. With the Lancers on the PSU 19-yard line, sophomore Zac Garside (Londonderry, N.H.) and senior Cam McGhee (Winchester, Mass.) teamed up for a six yard sack and the defense held WSU to a field goal try, but the kick went wide left and PSU maintained a three-score lead.
* The Panthers followed with a 77-yard drive to close the half. Edwards connected with Lancia for 23 yards on a third down screen pass, and added key completions to Banuskevich for 16 yards and sophomore Patrick Saltmarsh (Mattapoisett, Mass.) to convert a fourth-and-eight and sophomore Jeremy Martin (Charlton, Mass.) split the uprights from 20-yards out to make it 24-0 at the half.
* Plymouth took advantage of another WSU miscue to open the second half. Junior Jacob Szulc (Concord, N.H.) got through to block a punt from deep in Lancers' territory and Lancia rushed around the left edge for a 14-yard touchdown run on the ensuing play as the Panthers' lead extended to 31-0.
* Worcester State followed with the best drive of the day. Senior quarterback Noah Brum (Honolulu, Hawaii) completed 10-of-13 pass attempts and capped the drive with a 10-yard toss to Andrews, but the Panthers stuffed the two point conversion attempt to make it 31-6.
* Plymouth extended the lead to 38-6 with a fourth quarter touchdown. With the Lancers expecting PSU to run on third-and-short, Edwards found a wide open Osgood over the middle for a 45-yard touchdown strike.
* Edwards finished 16-of-27 for 225 yards and three touchdowns. Brum, who came in averaging nearly 250 passing yards per game, was limited to 120 yards and a TD.
* Lancia ran for a career high 98 yards and a score, while sophomore Vito Aleo (Hazlet, N.J.) added 18 yards on the ground.
* Osgood made the most of this three catches, finishing with 73 yards and two scores. WSU senior Cam Charette (Fairhaven, Mass.) led all players with five receptions.
* Banuskevich played a role in all three phases of the game. He finished with two catches for 16 yards and a pair of carries for four yards and a TD on offense, contributed a team-high ten tackles on defense and added 87 return yards on two kickoffs.
* Senior Brady LaFrance (West Paris, Maine) also finished with ten tackles for the Panthers, including eight solo.
* Freshman Nicholas Ashley (Worcester, Mass.) led the Lancers with nine tackles (seven solo).
* The PSU defense posted a season-best four sacks (1.5 from Garside, one each for sophomore Jake Canelas (Hudson, N.H.) and senior John Devlin (West Islip, N.Y.) and .5 for McGhee).
* The Panthers have now won six of nine head-to-head match-ups with Worcester State. PSU took last year's contest by a 16-6 score.
"We started fast today, which was a point of emphasis heading into the game," said head coach Paul Castonia. "We actually opened both halves well and it was good to see we were able to take advantage of the opportunities that came our way. Our tackling was better today, but we've still got a long way to go."
* Plymouth State has a short week as the Panthers head to Bridgewater State for a MASCAC game on Friday night (Oct. 5). Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m.
* The Lancers host WestConn for a MASCAC contest on Saturday (Oct. 6) at 12:00 p.m.

A Data-Driven Analysis of Pediatric Organ Dysfunction Patterns to Discover Novel Sepsis Phenotypes
Principal Investigator: L. Nelson Sanchez-Pinto, MD, MBI
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by a severe body response to an infection. Sepsis is a common cause of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in children, which is when two or more organs start failing, like the heart, kidneys, lungs, etc. This, in turn, is a final common pathway for death in many of these critically ill children. Sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome are complex, dynamic (i.e. subject to change), and heterogenous (i.e. not all patients present the same way). In other words, two patients may both be diagnosed with sepsis, but they may have very different clinical characteristics and risk factors and potentially require very different treatments during their illness. We would say that these two patients have different "phenotypes". By extension, two patients who have very similar characteristics, risk factors, and response to treatments are likely having the same phenotype of sepsis.
Many researchers have been focusing their efforts in better defining these phenotypes, or distinct subgroups of patients with sepsis, by looking at the structural, functional, and chemical abnormalities occurring at a cellular level. Our project, however, is taking a different approach. We believe that the dynamic pattern of organ dysfunction of patients with sepsis can be used as surrogates of the underlying pathology an can help us group patients into distinct phenotypes. We also believe these phenotypes will help us better predict the likely outcome of these patients and determine the type of medications that may be particularly useful or harmful to them.
Our project brings together leaders in pediatric critical care medicine from across the United States, and aligns with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) mission to advance our understanding of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in children. The goals of the study are to: (1) re-calibrate and validate an existing measure of organ dysfunction based on data collected in the electronic health record (EHR) of patients; (2) analyze the early patterns of organ dysfunction in critically ill children with sepsis to uncover novel phenotypes; and (3) determine whether these phenotypes are associated with different outcomes and response to therapy. To perform this study we will be extracting and analyzing data from the EHRs of over 30,000 patients with infections in nine pediatric intensive care units in the United States. This research is being supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health under Award Number R21HD096402.

Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968. Along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, they are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although some band members believe that their music cannot be categorised as belonging to any one genre. They were once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the loudest pop group", and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide. Deep Purple were ranked #22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme.

The Augustinian Just War Tradition and the Problem of Pretext in Humanitarian Intervention
Thomas H. LeeFollow
I will try to show how the present laws of war might be viewed as consistent with the Augustinian just war tradition. The modern international legal regime, codified in the Charter of the United Nations ("U.N. Charter"), permits States to engage in war only in "individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations;" or pursuant to a determination by the U.N. Security Council of "existence of any threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression," and Security Council authorization of the use of force "to maintain or restore international peace and security." Thus, modern international law would seem to foreclose preemptive wars in advance of armed attack and humanitarian interventions lacking Security Council authorizations. Although just war theorists have argued the morality of limited subsets of both sorts of formally unlawful wars, Professor Elshtain's concern in her lecture, and mine in this Essay, is with humanitarian interventions that are seemingly unlawful under the U.N. Charter regume, for instance, because of a lack of Security Council preauthorization.

Although I don't always post here (lack of time, mainly), we're always doing or planning something to make our house more like a home. Flooring, some small transformations and so on, as you've seen here on the blog.
Our basement is something that we never discussed here and even not that much in our renovation plans, mainly because we have so many other more important spaces on the main and second floor to possibly be focusing on. Our current basement is partially finish, with surrounding walls sort of done and carpet installed, but no partitions or defined rooms, no ceiling etc. In our basement is where the laundry appliances are and where we've been going quite often lately, as we are starting to wash some baby clothes and baby related items in preparation for our imminent arrival (OMG, now that I think about it, it's only about 7 weeks or less?!).
Every time I go down to the basement, I take a deep breath and imagine a compact, but nice and organized laundry room, where we would be happy (or at least okay) to be in and do some laundry chores. Maybe someday huh?!
A minha lava e seca sacode demaaaais e eu amo esses projetos em que elas são colocadas "empilhadas", mas existe algum acessório de fixação nas lavadoras e nas secadoras?


This page covers advantages and disadvantages of wireless communication. It mentions wireless communication advantages and wireless communication disadvantages.
The term wireless refers to communication without wires. In order to transmit information (voice or data) using wireless communication we need antenna. The antenna is the device which couples RF energy from one medium (i.e. waveguide, transmission line etc.) to the other medium (i.e. air). We require two systems viz. transmitter and receive to complete end to end wireless link. Wireless communication uses electromagnetic waves as medium for carrying the information through the channel between transmitter and receiver.
Refer what is wireless➤ and wireless system overview➤ for more information.
➨As wireless frequency penetrates the walls, wireless networks are easy to install anywhere based on choice. This flexibility is one of the great benefits of wireless network where wired cable can not be installed.
➨Wireless networks are easy to install and easy to maintain compare to messy wired counterparts. This will help when network grows and will have hundreds to thousands of customers.
➨Wireless signals can be easily hacked and hence it will hamper privacy. To avoid this, security algorithms (AES, WEP, WAP2) and modulation techniques (FHSS, DSSS) are employed in wireless networks.
➨The earlier wireless networks were slower. Now-a-days wireless LANs with advanced standards such as IEEE 802.11ac and 802.11ad are available which provides same performance as traditional ethernet based LANs.
➨Wireless networks require careful radio frequency planning at the beginning of the installation.
➨Wireless communication is subject to interference. There are various receiver techniques and modulation techniques which make wireless system robust against any kind of interference.
We have studied advantages (i.e. merits) and disadvantages (i.e. demerits) of wireless communication. Refer wired vs wireless➤ which provides more insights into comparison between wired communication and wireless communication.


Wednesday's episode of Days of our Lives was epic. We got the good scriptwriters today with a lot of amazing one liners. Ejami finally steps up to be the diabolical supercouple they were meant to be. This episode was so good, I might watch it again. Here are today's tweets.
Will asks Sonny if he told Kate the truth. #days Will tells him that Nick is a bigot.
I am already intrigued by this Vargas guy (and have to admit he is hot), i hope they don't make him some cartoonish one-not villainous character but a multi-layered bad guy..love his voice too.
For some time now this writing team made good choices with the characters coming on the canvas : Nick as a very layered tortured villain, Kristen also multi-dimensional, Eric nice without being too self-righteous annoying (a bit self-righteous but not so much for a 'good guy' Brady). These characters just gave again some nice and needed life and exitement to this soap. And they come back to drive umbrella stories : great move.
This soap is very good right now compare to past years, hard to believe it is coming from Tomlin crew who was just awful one or two years ago..
My favorite move to date is the pairing of Kate & Rafe (Rate). Hot, hot, hot! These 2 have always been favorites of mine, so I have no idea why I didn't think of this match first!


Joselin Mendez, 28, told New Mexico state legislators about being held in solitary confinement while detained at the Cibola County Correctional Center. She was among many former detainees who asked lawmakers to prevent contract renewals with private prison companies and the federal government at a hearing on July 16, 2018 at the Capitol in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
At New Mexico's state capitol Monday, state legislators heard, for the first time, testimony from people who have been detained inside the two for-profit immigration detention centers in the state. What they heard were memories of trauma and allegations of abuse — and calls to end privately-run detention in New Mexico for good.
"We ask you to put yourselves in the shoes of our communities," said 37-year-old Hilaria Martínez, who told lawmakers through an interpreter that her husband was recently locked up in immigrant detention for 50 days. She says he still still suffers from the trauma of the experience, as do her children.
The hearing put New Mexico state legislators in unchartered territory, because they had never made a state-level push to change local Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.
Few states have taken broad action. California signed a package of sanctuary bills into law in 2017 that limit how local law enforcement resources may aid in immigration enforcement, empower the state's Attorney General to review the conditions of immigrant detention and bar counties from entering into new contracts with ICE.
At the hearing in New Mexico, immigrants and advocates filled a room of roughly 200 people where members of the Courts, Corrections and Justice committee, which convened the hearing, raised many broad ideas, including reviewing contractors' licenses to do business in New Mexico, passing legislation similar to California's and simply requiring greater transparency. Throughout, a sprinkling of legislators called for the "abolition of ICE" and the decriminalization of immigration. At the hearing, Matt Baca, senior counsel for the New Mexico attorney general, said his office is considering prosecuting individual cases of criminal negligence and abuse at detention facilities.
Meanwhile, the deadline to terminate or renew the ICE agreement for the Otero County ICE Processing Center in southern New Mexico is approaching in November. The facility is operated by the private prison company Management and Training Corporation (MTC) through a deal made directly with the county government. Under New Mexico statute, all agreements with private prison contractors must be approved by the Office of the Attorney General.
When asked how the office woud vet the proposed renewal in light of detainees' testimony, spokesperson David Carl said it would be inappropriate for the office to comment before it receives the proposed agreement. In October 2016, attorney general's office approved a contract with a private prison company to detain immigrants at the Cibola County Correctional Center. That contract will last until 2021. County commissioners said then that the deal would provide much needed jobs.
But those who spoke at the hearing urged lawmakers to find other ways to create jobs.
Three recent detainees also testified at the hearing about "inhumane" conditions at the Otero facility; they said they were denied sufficient food, access to sunlight and to medical staff by guards who were abusive. The Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General's office made a surprise visit to Otero in 2017 and found evidence of the unjustified use of solitary confinement, unsanitary conditions and non-working telephones.
"They treated us like animals, like cows at a dairy," said Roberto de Jesus Gonzalez, a longtime New Mexico resident and father of three who says he was arrested by ICE at his local courthouse — like Martínez's husband — before being detained for three months at Otero.
Otero County Manager Pamela Heltner told PRI by email that Otero County will "most likely" renew its contract with ICE come November. The county subcontracts with MTC to operate the facility. She said that the county is currently awaiting a draft renewal agreement. Heltner did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the testimony Otero detainees gave at the hearing.
Immigration attorney Allegra Love founded the Santa Fe Dreamers Project, which offers free legal services to trans women detainees at the Cibola County Correctional Center. She says the county should be able to end its contract without controversy.
A 2014 government study of the "alternatives to detention" program, in which immigrants are released from detention pending court dates, found that 99 percent of detainees with GPS tracking devices (such as ankle monitors, or telephone check-ins) showed up to their court hearings.
More about alternatives to detention.
A recently released detainee from Cibola, 28-year-old Joselin Mendez, testified at the hearing. She told lawmakers through an interpreter that she was placed in solitary confinement and felt that she was treated like a criminal, though she was a non-criminal detainee.
During the hearing, Mendez talked about 33-year-old Roxsana Hernandez, who died of HIV-related complications in May soon after being transferred to Cibola. The detention center is owned and operated by private prison giant CoreCivic, formerly called Corrections Corporation of America, which has an enterprise value of $4.2 billion.
Hernandez's death is one of eight which have occurred in ICE custody since the beginning of 2018, according to an analysis of ICE press releases by the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Half of those detainees were locked up in facilities run by CoreCivic.
Medical neglect at the prison has previously proven deadly. In 2016, the Bureau of Prisons cancelled its contract with CoreCivic to hold federal prisoners at Cibola, after federal monitors attributed multiple deaths there to deficient care. But CoreCivic soon landed a new partnership with ICE and the county government, under a secret, five-year-deal that circumvented the federal bidding process through a structure in which ICE pays Cibola County and Cibola County pays CoreCivic. The government initially agreed to pay CoreCivic $150 million for the first five years.
An amendment to a contract between Cibola County and CoreCivic to detain immigrants for the federal government shows how much the private prison company is paid for each detainee it holds per day. The amendment was signed in March 2018, according to the county manager, after the county overspent the funds it received from the federal government.
The National Immigration Justice Center, which advocates for immigrants, calls Cibola "a black hole of due process." And, after Cibola County officials overspent $5.6 million of ICE funds meant for CoreCivic, the contract was amended in March 2018, according to the county manager. The amendment, obtained by PRI, shows the contract was reduced. CoreCivic was initially receiving $2.5 million per month for detaining up to 847 people per day; they now get just over $400,000 for a minimum of 150 detainees, though when the detainee population reaches 848, ICE pays an additional $55 per detainee per day.
Both CoreCivic and MTC declined invitations from state legislators to speak at the hearing. Spokespeople for each corporation told PRI that they declined out of deference to the federal government. They also each pledged their commitment to oversight, saying that the companies work closely with on-site monitors employed by ICE.
Ronald Vitiello, ICE's acting director, was also invited to speak but did not attend the meeting.
A father wrote and drew about being separated from his children in El Paso, Texas before being transferred to the Cibola County Correctional Center in New Mexico. He said he and his daughter were put in chains in front of his son. "But the most horrible part was when we were transferred to a federal jail, to see my beautiful daughter of 19 years walk through that jail, where I saw her the last time." He wrote that as of June 12, 2018 he still has not been reunited with his children.
"I find it very disrespectful that a body like ours would be so grossly ignored by the agency that is responsible for carrying this disastrous policy forward," said Rep. Javier Martinez.
During the hearing, Martinez also commented on a set of handwritten letters from fathers held at Cibola who were separated from their children at the border. The letters were submitted to the committee by attorney Adriel D. Orozco of the New Mexico Immigrant Law Center. He has represented detainees at both the Otero and Cibola detention centers.
"Our state has the opportunity to join other states and localities to prevent the federal government from using New Mexico to further its irrational and inhumane immigration policies," Orozco said.
Like all states except California, New Mexico has no legislation to bar county governments and law enforcement agencies from entering or renewing contracts with ICE. But several city and county governments in Texas, Oregon and California have given up the financial gains of partnering with ICE, even when they are not formally barred by state governments from doing so.
For community organizer Maria de Jesus Martinez, it boils down to whether or not local officials' care about the human cost of for-profit immigrant detention.

My Apple Switch Story
by Tanner Godarzi Apr 06, 2007
Every Mac user either grew up with the Mac or switched. I was a bit of the former but mostly the latter. Switching to the Mac has undoubtedly not only given me the joy of using great hardware with great software but also many other benefits (blogging for Apple Matters being one of them).
The first computer I ever laid a hand on was an old Hewlett Packard running Windows 95 and is actually as old as me. The PC was mainly used by mom to do cover sheets, flyers, and business letters for my dad's liquidation business (which is how we acquired the Hewlett Packard). I knew nothing about computers at the time, which is expected for someone in kindergarten. As my fascination with software grew, I became a bit more knowledgeable, spending hours on end playing games. I remember my mom installing every piece of software, on one occasion taking four hours. My growing fun with games would eventually be the end of that PC. While playing Sim City I attempted to shut down the computer while still in the game. I learned the hard way that shutting down a computer while still in a game would kill it, especially if the Operating System is Windows 95.
The death of that HP was massive at the time, and meant no more Pinball or Sim City. Even though the loss was great, I will blog no more about it because this is an Apple focused blog. About a year later three great things happened to me. My dad acquired another computer, but this time it was a fully functional Compaq running Windows 98. The second was the introduction of the internet, which I wasted on Lego's website about their new line called Bionicles (the original was great and even came with comics but then went on with endless flashbacks; to this day they are still stuck in a flashback of a flashback of a flashback and I kid you not).
The last great thing deserves its own paragraph: here was my introduction to the Mac. But hold your horses here, I was not a switcher just yet (that came about 6 years later). Oh no, I was still a PC dude, err, tot, but if you remember way back to a post about my old iMac then you'll know exactly what happened.
It was during second grade that I started attending private school (it's not all that it's cracked up to be) so technically I was in a better school, if by better you mean aesthetically pleasing. As part of the curriculum we were required to have a computer class which was mostly free time on the Internet. Half the class had old and aging PowerMacs and then brand new blueberry slot loading iMac G3s. This was the first Mac i ever used and I later acquired one through my dad's liquidation business with the same specs but I upgraded most of it. All the Macs ran OS 9 and to be honest I never really cared that it was a Mac; just as long as I could get on the internet and fantasize about Legos and play games (how addicting you were, KidPix Studio) I was fine. Since these were iMac G3s they naturally came with those very hard-to-use hockey puck mice. They were good for some of us due to the small size of our hands but were still uncomfortable. Later all iMacs got Apple Pro keyboards and mice.
I stayed in private school until 6th grade, but as the second half of our school was finished two computer labs were included. One was filled with PCs running the almost brand new Windows XP and the other lab, including every computer in the whole school, had either an eMac or iMac. Much to my dismay the PC lab was for 4th grade and up and the Mac lab was for the younger students. I think the reasoning for having the younger students use the eMacs was due to their durability, because they would occasionally get wacked around with keyboards and books. But every morning before school started I would venture down and play one of my favorite games, Deimos Rising. The game was included with Mac OS X 10.2 (or was it 10.1) but for the life of me I could not beat it. Also, another game that was included in demo form was Think Tanks, which like Deimos Rising was a great game and both get a 5 out of 5 (not only do you get my ramblings of becoming a full fledged Mac user but you get the briefest review you may ever read!)
Shortly after I finished elementary school and at the end of 7th grade my mom decided to move and sell most of the furniture and our belongings to start anew. This included our old eMachine (the Compaq barely lasted a year). Now I want to stress this to you: I was the biggest idiot about computers, I couldn't even set up a printer. Exactly one week after Steve Jobs announced Macs would be Intel based starting next year, my mom walked out of the Apple store at 8PM with a brand new 15-inch PowerBook G4, iPod Mini, Airport Extreme, Apple Bluetooth Mouse, and .Mac. The odd thing was that my mom decided to go Mac, and I just wanted a Dell.
After the PowerBook came a new Mac Mini, iPod Shuffles, iPod Video, and then a larger iPod Video, an iPod Nano, and many other Apple products. Me switching (thanks mom) was the greatest thing in the world for one reason: I learned so much about computers just by teaching myself the ins and out of using a Mac.
Once you go Mac, you never go back.
You were in second grade when the iMac G3s were around? Gawd, I feel old.
The computer I bought for college was the orginial Macintosh II (16Mhz 68020). It had a whopping 2MB of RAM (soon after upgraded to 5!) and 40 MB hard drive running System 6.0.1.
That monster was fast, and color to boot! (Yes, Virginia, Macs were once only monochrome).
The year? 1988… I'll let you do the rest of the math. : )

This begs the question: is there a minimum age to being a "switcher"? For example: the kindergartener uses a PC, then in first grade a Mac - is she a switcher? Or rather is she just grateful for the circumstances? Perhaps the question: if your parents make the decision to switch for you, are you really the "switcher," or are you switcher by surrogate? Regarding the color of our skin and the faith we follow, we for some part say "thanks mom" until teen angst and rebellion carve a niche of independence. So thanks for the article - I hope you define for yourself meaning in your Mac experience and other more weighty life endeavors separate from that of your parents. Cheers!

No kidding, same here. The first I ever personally owned (I had used my schools Apple IIc before that) was an SE/30 that we inherited in '89 after my mother-in-law, who had more money than sense, bought it and then decided her Olivetti typewriter was easier to use. Hours of fun with MacPaint. That was followed by a used IIcx with a funky monochrome portrait display that my wife used to write school papers. Good times, and a world of discovery watching as all this new tech unfolded.

Yeah those old iMacs were great at school. Right before I left in the newly constructed building on my Private school all the faculty members in the back part of the building all had iMacs G4s or iLamps as they were called. It was restricted area but I knew the son of the guy who owned the school.
