I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO MAD ABOUT A VEGETABLE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
last night, I was listening to the latest episode of I Chews You, the podcast about cooking and eating Pokémon (…just go with it), as I do of a Wednesday evening.
One of the hosts, Ian, made reference to Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, saying that he was very fond of asparagus. Augustus, it is said, used to tell people when he wanted something done fast that it should be "quicker than cooking asparagus," and was so enamoured with the vegetable that he commissioned an entire fleet of ships to seek out the best sources of asparagus in the world for supplying the city of Rome. My eyebrows, dear reader, assumed a posture of heightened readiness.
I will stress, before going on, that I intend here to cast no shade on Ian, who is lovely and has even helped me with research on a previous occasion. If you google "asparagus fleet" there are so many websites that mention it – dozens, certainly; it even made it onto the official QI Twitter account – that if that's all you're going on, it looks pretty legit. Unfortunately for me, it's not all I'm going on, thanks to my secret double life as a PhD student in classical studies.

The Dance of Dragons asks:
If you had a dragon, what would you name him/her?
I had a fairly long discussion about this with Jim the Editor and didn't really come to a satisfying conclusion; I think I'm possibly going about the question the wrong way. See… when I take it upon myself to imagine a dragon, I sort of… picture something that would come with a name? Like, a dragon to my mind is an intelligent creature that might not necessarily want me to name it, or might expect a name from its own language. Y'know, you can't name a dragon the way you'd name a pet dog or whatever because it's going to understand the name and has to like it, but it's also weird to just give a dragon a normal human name like "Kyle" – which is a name I genuinely like and could imagine giving to a kid, but is undeniably a weird name for a dragon.
Can you do that? Can you name a dragon "Kyle"? Kyle the dragon?
I mean, I'm committed now; I guess if I ever get a dragon, then this is what's happening and we all just have to live with that.

Charred Black Potato Ash asks:
How did they build the Pantheon?
I have to assume that this question is less about Roman architectural techniques and materials generally and more about the thing that's super distinctive about the Pantheon, so that's what I'm gonna talk about.
The Pantheon is a big Roman temple in the heart of the city of Rome. The name Pantheon (or Pantheum) is not on the building itself anywhere, but it's mentioned in ancient Latin texts. It's Greek for "[Temple to] All the Gods" and seems to have been a nickname given to the building because it housed cult statues of multiple patron deities of the imperial family, including Mars and Venus. The Pantheon is also known today (and for the last several hundred years) as the Church of Santa Maria della Rotonda, and that name is a big clue to the thing that's impressive about it: the rotunda. From the front the Pantheon looks like a fairly standard Roman temple with a triangular pediment and colonnaded porch, but from the side, you see that it isn't rectangular like a normal temple; it has a humongous round butt sticking out the back, and once you go inside, it turns out to have a massive domed ceiling that you can't easily see from the front. We used to think that the Pantheon was originally built as a fairly ordinary rectangular temple in the reign of Augustus, the first emperor (r. 31 BC – AD 14), by his right hand man Marcus Agrippa (whose name is on the dedicatory inscription), and was subsequently rebuilt as its gloriously unique self by Hadrian (r. AD 117-138) after being destroyed in a fire; this is what I was taught when I was in high school, back in the 1840s. New research says that, in fact, the Pantheon we have today was probably built during the reign of Hadrian's predecessor Trajan (r. AD 98-117), and Agrippa's original Pantheon probably also had a dome.
So… whence the dome?

Pokémon Trainers of Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Part 5: Ashen Wolves)
(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4)
oh, right, I was doing this whole thing
Well, there's only four characters left, so here they are: the Ashen Wolves. They're the "secret fourth house" that live in the basement and never talk to anyone. There's apparently an entire hidden town called "Abyss" hidden underneath the school/monastery/fortress where you and all the other characters live, filled with outlaws, refugees, dispossessed nobles and assorted other fugitives who collectively decided that the best place to hide from the law was literally in the Pope's basement. These four kooky kids can join you no matter which of the other "houses" you're aligned with, as long as you've bought the "Cindered Shadows" DLC and completed an extra chapter of the story focused on them. And here they are:
Yuri Leclerc
Commoner adopted by a minor noble family, grew up to become some kind of mob boss
Basically runs Abyss in the absence of any more reasonable authority figure
Could probably arrange for you to be murdered in your sleep
Has definitely thought about it
Is too gay to put up with your bull$#!t
Kind to children; will shank you if you find out about it
Difficult to be friends with, but extremely worth it
He is perfect and I love him
Favoured types: Flying, Dark, Normal
Yuri's mob nickname is "the savage mockingbird," and if you teach him magic (which you probably will, since his "default" class is a hybrid caster) he mainly learns wind spells. He was born a commoner and is still devoted to helping ordinary people, hence Normal, but regularly does so through… less than ethical means, hence Dark.
Disfavoured types: Fairy, Ground, Bug
Yuri's biggest mob rival is a gang that identifies its members with scorpion tattoos. He's not good with Fairy-types since he's so cynical, and doesn't like the bulky, solid nature of Ground-types.
Partner: Honchkrow
Honchkrow is a bird who is a mob boss, which is basically Yuri's entire aesthetic; they're made for each other.
Other Pokémon: Toucannon, Dodrio, Crobat, Raticate (Alolan), Liepard
Yuri likes Flying Pokémon with great speed, manoeuvrability and physical power. Raticate is another mobster Pokémon to help him run his gang, and Liepard is just very good at shanking people.

Do you like Greece? Do you like old things?
If you're reading this here, chances are you mostly know me for writing about Pokémon, but you might also be aware that I'm a classicist – someone who studies the history, culture and languages of ancient Greece and Rome. And you've probably guessed by now that I like writing.
so, uh… I have a book? That you can buy, like, on paper and everything.
The backstory to this is, in 2017-2018 I spent a year in Greece studying archaeology at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and we visited some archaeological sites. And I foolishly decided to write a short poem about each one – something to preserve the facets of the experience that photography alone falls short of capturing. And it turns out there are a significant number of archaeological sites in Greece (who knew, right?), so in the end I wrote about 300 of them – about places, and history, and memory, and conflict, and travel, and friends, and discovery, and wonder, and all kinds of other amazing things I learned.
So if YOU like Greece, or old things, or travel, and if YOU are trapped in a bubble because the world is ending and miss being able to go to amazing far-off places, this might be the book for you! Come to Greece with me, and let me show you something new.
It's called "Travellers in an Antique Land," and you can buy it print-to-order from blurb.com at https://www.blurb.com/b/10267553-travellers-in-an-antique-land, or as an e-book for Kindle Fire or any Apple device at https://www.blurb.com/b?ebook=735884.
(Also if you're one of the, like, 6 people who watches me and Jim the Editor streaming on his YouTube channel on Fridays/Saturdays, yes, this is the thing he's been nagging me to tell everyone about for weeks)

Desert Phil.... What you need is two horses one to pack your salt and one to ride. Saddle horns are great for making sure the second horse follows along.
David lives in a one horse town! David is a salty dog! David uses one horse power to save fuel!
IMO one of the locations in this thread is actually the correct one. Giving it one last try in the snow end of this week, then hanging it up for the winter.
Correct, it is in Colorado, I searched a few places in NM for 2 weeks before I focused on the correct area. Don't bother looking in Summer when the paddles are still up the creek, wait for Fall when the Fishermen are all that is up your creek.
Yes Yes you are also correct, go with that! Spread the word.


Brass instruments are played by blowing through a mouthpiece, but the vibrations and buzzing from the lips is what gives the instruments their sound. This instrument family includes trumpets, trombones, baritones, French horns, and tubas.
These instruments can be extremely loud, and they are known for packing a punch. They often carry marching bands, but they also play important roles in orchestral and symphonic settings. Additionally, brass is becoming more and more visible in pop culture — take a look at artists like Bruno Mars and Panic! at the Disco. Trumpets often play the melody, while other brass instruments are generally closer to the bottom of the pyramid of sound.


摘要: Biomechatronics is an applied interdisciplinary science that aims to integrate mechanical elements, electronics and parts of biological organisms. It encompasses the fields of biology, mechanics, robotics and neuroscience. This presentation will describe our research mission to develop new robotic devices and technologies that improve medical treatment performance, human mobility and quality of life.

Parmigiani Fleurier creates an exceptional dial for its 'Toric Chronomètre'
AFP-Relaxnews
today Jan 7, 2019
In the runup to the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH), which will open its doors in Geneva on January 14, Swiss watchmaker Parmigiani Fleurier has extended its "Toric" collection with a timepiece featuring a hand-engraved dial. A demonstration of craftsmanship which will likely appeal to many watch enthusiasts around the globe.
For the new year, Parmigiani Fleurier has reinvented the design of one of its most iconic watches, the "Toric", which was initially styled by the company founder Michel Parmigiani.
Christened the "Toric Chronomètre Slate," the new timekeeper features an exceptional slate-colored dial, which, as the brand points out, is hand-engraved with a concentric pattern that "evokes the arrangement of the scales on a pine cone."
This sober, discreet and elegant model also features semi-openwork, luminous Javelot hands, subtly designed arabic numerals, and the Parmigiani Fleurier at 12 o'clock.
The "Toric Chronomètre Slate" comes with a 40.8mm-diameter 18-carat red cold case and a hand-knurled crystal. Powered by the in-house, COSC-certified, automatic PF441 movement, it displays hours, minutes and seconds, and also has a date window.
Waterproof to depths of up to 30 meters, this timepiece has a power reserve of 55 hours.

Plantation Archaeology (The Warner Site Archaeology Project)
Plantation archaeology on Antigua is in its infancy. Few archaeologists have expressed interest in this sensitive area of research. The Dockyard Museum's Field Research Centre, in partnership with the University of Calgary Antigua Field School is now addressing this issue.
The first step of this new project is to conduct a search for documents that may provide guidance and information about the site. The second step was to conduct a systematic survey of the site to identify the best areas for excavation.
In June 2004, archaeological research began at the Warner family estate at Piccadilly (ca. 1640s to 1760s), St. Paul. Findings include, Delft china, red clay tobacco pipes, Afro-Antiguan pottery, slipped English earthenware, and the remains of a male member of the Warner family.
The Warner's were a prominent family during the earliest days of colonization. In 1632, under the leadership of Edward Warner, the son of Thomas Warner, the island was colonized. Edward's grandson Henry began construction of Fort Berkerley in the 1730s' and worked as a commissioner of the newly established naval Dockyard. Their estate was established at the Piccadilly site prior to the introduction of sugar cane. His tomb is situated on the site although badly damaged by vandals.

A total of 13 suspects have now been arrested for a range of offences including drug possession as part of a police operation today.
More than 100 police officers have been in action today as part of Operation Duxford across the city.
South Yorkshire Police have been providing regular updates on their work - and the latest arrest figure stands at 13.
Suspects have been arrested for a wide range of offences, including failing to attend at court, drug possession and theft.
Officers began the day by executing several drugs warrants in the city centre and Broomhall, recovering a quantity of suspected Class C drugs.
Meanwhile, immigration officers arrested three individuals - one on suspicion of human trafficking.
Two people have been reported on summons to attend court – one for begging offences and one for possession of cannabis – by officers patrolling the city centre. Another man has been cautioned for begging.
More drugs were recovered in the afternoon, when officers focused their attention on the Burngreave area. Quantities of cannabis were seized and one man arrested on suspicion of drugs supply offences.
Chief Inspector Russell Hughes said: "We chose to focus our efforts and work alongside partner agencies to respond to concerns around street begging and associated antisocial behaviour in the city centre, antisocial behaviour in the south west of the city and in particular the Abbeydale Road corridor, as well as responding to concerns about suspected drugs-related crime in the Broomhall area.
As part of the operation, a stall was set up on Fargate in the city centre to raise awareness of homelessness and begging, and the support available to vulnerable individuals. Police officers from the Sheffield Central LPT manned the stall supported by Sheffield DAACT, Addaction, Sheffield Council, the Cathedral Archer Project and the soup kitchen.
Councillor Jayne Dunn, cabinet member for neighbourhoods and community services, said: "I know homelessness and rough sleeping is something many people care about, so we want to raise awareness of the support available and how they can get involved. This is being done as part of the 'Help Us Help' campaign, which highlights what local charities, services and the council offer and how they work in partnership to support vulnerable people."

Will car repairs in the future financially cripple you?
"How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive," by John Muir, helped VW owners everywhere repair their cars themselves. See more classic car pictures.
Courtesy John Muir Publications
By 1969, auto mechanic John Muir was a master at repairing Volkswagen (VW) automobiles. Muir was a former aerospace engineer who'd designed missiles for defense contractor Lockheed. However, he gave up his engineering career, opting for a quiet life as a mechanic to New Mexico's growing counterculture, which embraced Volkswagen as its vehicle of choice.
As his reputation for fixing VWs grew, he was searched out for free advice. Muir apparently had no problem with these solicitations other than they forced him to repeat the same information over and over. His solution was to write a how-to guide for fixing VWs -- "How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive: A Manual of Step-By-Step Procedures for the Compleat Idiot."
The book became a cult classic among VW drivers, largely due to Muir's down-to-earth advice. With the book, people found they could repair their own cars, saving money that would've been spent at the repair shop. But as automobile technology has progressed over the last few decades, so, too, has the need for specialized expertise to repair cars.
For many, the days of do-it-yourself auto repairs are long gone. As a result, the costs associated with fixing cars have gone up. Technicians require more training, which makes them more valuable -- and more expensive. Digital Age cars have parts that are much more costly to replace. And hybrid cars also pose a significant increase in price to repair. Hybrids like the Toyota Prius, for instance, are built with a transmission that's not in wide use yet. Replacement parts aren't built and sold by many companies, as components for more prevalent transmissions are.
This has had a dampening effect on public attitudes toward hybrid cars. Forty-four percent of respondents to a poll by auto analyst Edmunds said they were "extremely concerned" about the expense of hybrid car repairs [source: Weston].
As we progress further into automotive technology, some fear we will find ourselves deeper in debt when these cars break down. Will car repairs in the future financially cripple you? Find out on the next page.
Car Repair Prices: Cutting-edge, Not Cutting Costs
Economics and the Future of Car Repair
Fiberglass bumpers and fenders, like those shown at a Honda factory in Indonesia in 2007, are lightweight and increase fuel efficiency, but often require repairs after a collision.
Dimas Ardian/Getty Images
In May 2008, Forbes Magazine released a list of the most expensive cars to repair. It's not surprising that luxury cars were at the top of the list. We accept that luxury cars cost more and that their repairs are pricier, too. But why should that be?
The answer is because luxury cars boast more advanced features. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHA), the cost to fix a crumpled front corner bumper on a 2007 Hyundai Sonata following a 6 mph collision was $739 [source: IIHA]. The same test was conducted by the IIHA on luxury cars. By contrast, the Infiniti G35 racked up $3,544 in repairs for the same damaged front corner the Sonata endured [source: IIHA].
One reason body repairs on today's cars are expensive is the use of composite materials. In other words, as far as body repairs go, they don't make 'em like they used to. Materials like fiberglass make cars lighter, which increases fuel efficiency. But composites don't absorb impacts well, cosmetically speaking.
The high-tech gadgetry found aboard today's luxury cars also explains why high-end cars rack up big bills at the mechanic's garage. For instance, replacing a single Xenon headlight with a wiper system on a 2006 Mercedes C Class can cost $1,644 [source: BankRate]. The rearview camera (that helps you see what's behind you when you back up) installed on a 2004 Cadillac Escalade costs $4,217 to replace when it goes on the fritz [source: Weston]. Even the brakes on luxury cars can cost more to repair. Audis' brakes include adjusting sensors which have to be removed, complicating the brake replacement and driving up labor costs [source: Forbes].
Hybrid cars, too, are often more expensive to repair than a conventional car of a similar price class. In a hybrid vehicle, a conventional gasoline engine works in conjunction with an electric motor, or both can work independently of one another. This is a huge departure from conventional cars, whose power trains are driven exclusively by energy created from a conventional combustion engine. Hybrids are even different from all-electric cars, which run exclusively on batteries. Gas-electric hybrids require a special transmission -- the most predominant is the continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Due to a continuously variable transmission's unique design, replacement can be much more expensive than replacing an automatic or manual transmission on a conventional car. A new CVT on a 2001 to 2003 Toyota Prius, for instance, can cost around $8,695 [source: Consumer Guide Automotive].
Both hybrids and luxury cars represent the potential future of automotives. Since the repairs associated with these future-tech cars are pretty steep for those who can afford them, will future car repair bills be as high for the rest of us when we can afford these cars? Maybe not. Find out why on the next page.
Economic theory says that as the supply of Priuses becomes more abundant (like the 2008 model shown in a Tokyo showroom), the costs associated with repairing its uncommon transmission should decrease.

When the Sony Corporation introduced the CDP-101 in 1982, it was the first mass-produced compact disc (CD) player available to the general public. It was a big, bulky component that accepted one CD at a time, but it represented the cutting edge of home audio. The price of this new technology reflected that uncommon status; each sold for about $700 [source: Nathan]. By 2008, you could purchase a Sony CD player that includes a five-disc changer for about $150 [source: Sony Style].
You'll notice that with Sony's CD players something strange happened. As the technology grew more desirable (for example, a CD player that could hold one disc versus models that can hold five), the price decreased rather than increased. This seems a bit counterintuitive, but it's actually based on a basic economic principle: supply and demand. When the supply of a product exceeds demands for it, the product's cost generally goes down. And when demand is greater than the supply, manufacturers and suppliers can raise the price. It gets a little more complicated when several manufacturers start making different versions of the same product. This leads to competition.
But competition also fosters affordability. With more suppliers of a similar product come more options for a consumer. One way to get a consumer to choose one item over another is to offer a lower price. This holds as true for high-tech automobiles as it does for CD players.
Think about it: Hybrid cars are currently more expensive to fix than cars that run on a conventional engine. That's because hybrids are less abundant than regular autos -- demand currently exceeds supply. In 2007, hybrid car sales accounted for just 2.2 percent of all car sales in the United States. While that seems small, the total sales in 2007 represented an increase of 38 percent over the total number sold in 2006. And 51 percent of all those hybrid car sales were Toyota Priuses [source: Associated Press].
So, sticking with our Prius example, if demand for the Prius continues, Toyota could be expected to produce more of the cars. With more people driving the cars, the customer base will expand. More customers needing repairs will attract more mechanics that specialize in fixing Toyota's hybrids. More mechanics trained in the specialized repairs will make the specialization less unique and more affordable.
The same holds true if Prius' most expensive component to repair -- the continuously variable transmission (CVT) -- is adopted by other car manufacturers. The system will be in plentiful supply, so the availability of parts will increase, which should cause the price to decrease. And this doesn't just apply to hybrid cars. It also applies to those Xenon headlights with built-in windshield wipers. Once they trickle down from the world of luxury automobiles to become a standard feature on mass-produced vehicles, the cost to repair and replace them will decrease, too.
In other words, as the future of automotive technology becomes the present, what's expensive now will decrease in price as the technology becomes less high-tech and more standardized. So while repairs for early adopters of futuristic cars may be a blow to budgets now, in the future, they should be a little easier to swallow.

Located in Minnesota, but we're willing to travel/meet, under the right circumstances.
I am selling a 35 foot 1996 Thomas School Bus. It has a Navstar 7.3 Liter Turbo Diesel engine and an Allison AT545 Transmission. The miles are low because it was previously used only for a summer camp. I bought the bus and started to convert it to a work truck for my electrical service, but I relocated and closed the business. Most of the seats have been removed--there are 6 left in the front.
I will provide the VIN number if anyone wants to confirm the mileage history.


When it comes to fashion, Jennifer Lopez is far younger than her age, almost half as of now.
She is 54 and had outshone 22-year-old Selena Gomez on Sunday on the red carpet at the American Music Awards in LA.
Lopez was in a daring wrap dress revealing her incredibly toned stomach.
Frankly, Selena being at half the age of J-Lo was not able to come even close to competing. She was dressed in demure black gown and covered up with a high neckline. Her skirt went past her toes. She carried a small clutch too to match her footwear.
The mother-of-two Lopez had smoky eye make-up and posed confidently for the photogs on the red carpet. Meanwhile, Selena covered neck-to-toe with neat ponytail. She also sported gold bangles.
The other on the red carpet to be worth mentioning here was Jordin Sparks. She was co-hosting the pre-show with country singer Gavin DeGraw. She was in plunging sequinned dress and looked glamorous.
However, the 24-year-old American Idol star had some competition. Fergie was equally stunning. She was in a black split. Her hair was left to flow down in curls and had a nose ring too.
Other arrivals included Olivia Munn, Zendaya, Dianna Agron, Taylor Schilling, Nicki Minaj, Kate Beckinsale, Danica McKellar, Meghan Trainor, Guiliana Rancic, Gigi Hadid and Heidi Klum too. All were almost equally glamorous revealing their figures.

Zooborns
Red Panda Triplets Have Names
September 16, 2019 May 11, 2021
Males, Piercy and Lino (pronounced Leeno) and female, Chris-Anne, are the official names for the Virginia Zoo's three red panda cubs born this summer. The Zoo launched an auction for the naming rights of the three new red panda cubs, in which all three names were purchased by separate individuals. The auction, which was set to last two weeks came to a close in just a short 72 hours where each name sold for the max bid of $2,500. The proceeds from the auction, a total of $7,500, will be donated to the Red Panda Network, a conservation partner of the Virginia Zoo.
male Piercy
In addition to raising funds for the Red Panda Network, the Zoo also sold a Zoodoption special in honor of the cubs, selling an impressive 48 symbolic adoptions which will help support the Zoo's conservation fund.
male Lino
"We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of the auction!" said Greg Bockheim, Executive Director of the Virginia Zoo. "We're proud to be able to spread the message about these incredible creatures in need and raise money for their conservation efforts at the same time."
female Chris-Anne
The three cubs were born on June 18 at the Virginia Zoo's Animal Wellness Campus to mom, Masu and dad, Timur. Masu and her cubs will remain off exhibit until later in the fall when animal care staff feel they can confidently navigate the trees and other exhibit features.

getting to know... brianna mellon
Ridiculously hot MAXIM photo shoot, Brianna, congrats. Thank you! I feel proud. I loved this shoot so much and couldn't think of a better place for it to be featured. I loved the whole vibe – the day before the shoot I watch the movie Blue Lagoon with Brooke Shields and I was very inspired. The day was relaxed and fun, minimal effort. Neil [Dixon, photographer] is always able to capture me feeling naturally confident and sexy. When do you feel sexy? I feel at my sexiest when I get back from the beach. Something about the salt in my hair and heat coming off my skin really gets me feeling sensual. What is your best asset? "Something about the salt in my hair and heat coming off my skin really gets me feeling sensual." Probably…
evolution theory
In a world adjusting to a new normal, Lamborghini's latest may be proving the theory of evolution correct. The latest model in their arsenal is the Sian Roadster — an open-top hybrid that is the industry's first use of a supercapacitor in a supercar. Similar to something Doc Brown would install in the Delorean. Lambo's familiar naturally aspirated 6.5 litre V12 has once again been called upon. This time around, it receives assistance from a 48-volt electric motor that provides an additional 34 horsepower on top of the V12's 785 horses. The lithium-ion battery pack, however, has been dismissed in favour of a supercapacitor. Located between the cockpit and engine it stores 10 times the power and ensures a power-to-weight ratio of 1.0 kg/hp. The design is inspired by the legendary Countach from…
the badgal
Do you like your yachts incredibly luxurious or extremely high-performance? With the latest superyacht from Officina Armare - the BadGal - you can have it all, as she has equal elements of both. Listed as the studio's fastest vessel to date, it lives up to its name with a badass attitude whether sailing or anchored. But this BadGal is no poser, Officina's fiesty DNA is still present and the sports twin 12V 4000CM93L engines make her unusually fast for her size (141 feet), hitting speeds in excess of 50 km/h. Unlike a displacement yacht, she rides on top of the water, not through it, thanks to the planing hull. Inside, there is luxury over three sexy decks, with the massive master cabin unsurprisingly located at the main deck's bow, while four…
gtr-x-treme
The automotive world is entering into an interesting transition. Vehicles are moving off carbon-based fuels, and autonomous driving is (unfortunately) trending. Nissan has decided to look beyond these transitions though — 30 years beyond — with the Nissan GT-R (X) 2050 concept, designed by Nissan design intern Jaebum Choi. Wearing a futuristic racing-style suit and large backpack; you pop the top of the GTR-X and slip in, lying flat on your belly with arms and legs spread in an X-pattern. This position allows for good low-drag aerodynamics, much like the early Roborace cars, but it's pretty ordinary for looking out the windscreen. So there's no windscreen, and no work for the guys at the intersection with their squeegees. The drivers vision is simulated through the helmet via the vehicles camera. Human and…
the last test
In early November 2002, as the Australian team prepared for the 2002–3 Ashes series, Steve Waugh had a feeling the selectors wanted the series to be his last. I had a feeling too. Possibly, the whole of Australia did. The rot had set in eight months earlier when the selectors, headed by Trevor Hohns, dropped Steve Waugh as Australia's one-day captain. Hohns had been sensitive about exactly where to let Waugh know he'd been axed. He thought it would be a little harsh to give him the bad news in his hotel room on the day of the 2002 Allan Border Medal. So he had tried to do the deed the day before in Devonport, as Waugh waited to go in to bat for NSW in a limited-overs clash against Tasmania. Hohns…
thor workout the director's cut
Coming from a culture where we make fun of ourselves a lot — yep, both the big guy and I are kiwi — the one thing that most definitely wasn't a joke was Taika Waititi's training regime while in Australia directing the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. I caught up with his local trainer and co-founder of TRAIN VERCE, Wade Farmer, who gave me the ins and outs of his workouts with the Marvel "overlord". WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Just watching Taika's movies gives you an idea of exactly how high energy the man is. He writes, directs and stars in almost everything he does, so there's no such thing as a short day on set. For Taika, who also plays the role ofKorg in Thor: Love and Thunder, these training…

5 Types of Food to Avoid Before, During Flights
Last updated Sep 29, 2019
Traveling can generate anxiety — what if I lost my passport, cannot answer an immigration officer sensibly or get accused of bringing any prohibited item I did not bring — but should not cause you frequent trips to the toilet.
Foods that cause constriction of arteries
Foods that promote bloating
Foods that cause dehydration
Foods that impede digestion
Foods that contribute to jet lag and other forms of discomfort
But if you eat the wrong types of food, they could trigger even more awful flight experience. It doesn't help if you find yourself surrounded by restaurants that are characterized by fatty, greasy food, soda and alcohol drinks at the airport. If you are a disciplined traveler, you'd easily be able to avoid the intake of such foods to prepare for that long-haul flight.
So what are the foods we need to avoid on our way to a flight?
Burgers often embody the greasy, artery-clogging fast food menus typically found at airports. They're attractive because they meant to be consumed quickly. But medical experts claim that our body doesn't do so well digesting foods laden with sodium and saturated fats in the first place — and digestion at 35,000 feet proves even more difficult. So it's common sense to avoid these worst offenders before flying.
Call it the laws of gravity or laws of physics, but there are also conditions during 30,000 plus feet above the ground that causes unnatural behavior of our body. Sitting squished and immobile in a pressurized cabin hinders blood flow, and may lead to physiological chain that can lead to swollen feet, or worse, deep vein thrombosis, which involves the formation of a blood clot deep inside the body that when breaks free can lodge in the brain, lungs or heart, causing severe damage, even death.
So skip pre-flight meals that contain high saturated fats, bacon, egg or cheese sandwich since they can cause constriction of blood flow during mid-flight.
Due to the pressurized cabin inside the aircraft, parts of our body will behave differently. We feel discomfort similar to acute mountain sickness. This is often attributed to factors such as jet lag, prolonged sitting, dehydration, or contamination of cabin air.
Pressurized airplane cabin also promotes bloating, and some foods trigger them: fried and saturated. But even our so-called healthy foods such as cauliflower, beans, lentils, onions, and cabbage can make us feel bloated. This often results in flatulence experienced throughout the entire journey, which can make us feel both embarrassed and relieved at the same time.
The worst thing that can happen is if the flight makes an emergency landing because of this. It happened in 2006 (and possibly in other unreported incidents) when a farting woman concealed the odor by secretly lighting matches during an American Airlines flight between Washington and Dallas. Fellow passengers did not smell passed gas but did smell burnt matches, so they reported the incident which prompted an emergency landing in Nashville.
If you happen to down a few cocktail drinks in the airline lounge as your sedative during the trip. But doctors have advised against (excessive) alcohol consumption before and during flights. Alcohol causes dehydration, a concern already raised by air passengers who endure dry cabin air and served salty meals.
To counteract dehydration, ask your cabin attendant for water, not tea, orange juice or soda drinks.
Never mind the special folks in business class who can get all alcoholic drinks they want, but only in limited amounts.
When you are embarking on a long-haul flight or one with a long layover on the road, imagine yourself as an endurance athlete who requires a body in tip-top shape. This is to overcome weakness due to prolonged expending of energy, but also to fight various forces such as dehydration, boredom, rude passengers, crying babies, and smelly seatmate.
Carbonated drinks — Coca Cola, Pepsi, and so on — contribute to bloating and cramping especially after sitting for long hours on that small economy class space. Resist the temptation of soda, and stick with water to keep yourself hydrated and avoid indigestion that also causes distress ("what if I cannot find the toilet in the middle of the road in a foreign country?").
In a study published in the journal "Science," researchers suggested that fasting for about 16 hours before a long flight may help to fend off jet lag.
The study said that besides light, a second body clock is triggered by hunger of food that controls when we eat and sleep. Researchers believe that manipulating this second clock can help our bodies adapt better to time zone changes.
In short, if we can make our body think it's starving by fasting or consuming little during our journey, we'll be able to remain awake and alert until we reach our destination, where we can then address hunger. It must be stressed that the study was conducted on lab rats, and the link has not been found in humans, though it makes a lot of sense if we consider the following effects of eating just about anything during our travel:
Cheese-filled treats, as tempting they can be, cause gas as they are hard to digest. That is why, after having a cheese-filled snack or meal, we often will feel heavy for a long time.
Burgers or french fries are likely the best options for travelers as they are easy to consume and accessed anywhere. However, fast food items are likewise hard to digest. A cheesy hamburger will keep us full but can also cause gastric problems as well as increase body weight, a common observation for travelers who divert from usual diets.
Carbonated beverages like soda and cold drinks cause gastric problems and also cause mouth odor.
Candies and chewing gums can make us feel better, but the artificial sweeteners loaded in these candies may harm our teeth.
Chewing gums may help address pressure during landing and takeoff, but it also allows more air to enter inside the mouth thus causing gas.
Many travelers suffer from an upset stomach while traveling after eating spicy foods.
Eating starchy foods like noodles and pasta are also hard to digest and cause bloating and gas.
Sounds like we covered all foods to avoid and nothing left to consume safely! But that's it, traveling can have an impact on our bodies as we move on from our usual body routines: waking hours may vary, we eat different varieties of food and expend more energy than usual. Food may be the culprit here, but they only contribute, not the main reason.

Q: Windows 7 inbuilt and 3rd party (de)fragmentation related queries I have a pretty good idea of how files end up getting fragmented. That said, I just copied ~3,200 files of varying sizes (from a few KB to ~20GB) from an external USB HDD to an internal, freshly formatted (under Windows 7 x64), NTFS, 2TB, 5400RPM, WD, SATA, non-system (i.e. secondary) drive, filling it up 57%. Since it should have been very much possible for each file to have been stored in one contiguous block, I expected the drive to be fragmented not more than 1-2% at most after this rather lengthy exercise (unfortunately this older machine doesn't support USB 3.0).
Windows 7's inbuilt defrag utility told me after a quick analysis that the drive was fragmented only 1% or so, which dovetailed neatly with my expectations. However, just out of curiosity I downloaded and ran the latest portable x64 version of Piriform's Defraggler, and was shocked to see the drive being reported as being ~85% fragmented! The portable version of Auslogics Disk Defrag also agreed with Defraggler, and both clearly expected to grind away for ~10 hours to completely defragment the drive.

*

*How in blazes could the inbuilt and 3rd party defrag utils disagree so badly? I mean, 10-20% variance is probably understandable, but 1% and 85% are miles apart! This Engineering Windows 7 blog post states:

In Windows XP, any file that is split into more than one piece is considered fragmented. Not so in Windows Vista if the fragments are large enough – the defragmentation algorithm was changed (from Windows XP) to ignore pieces of a file that are larger than 64MB. As a result, defrag in XP and defrag in Vista will report different amounts of fragmentation on a volume.
... [Please read the entire post so the quote is not taken out of context.]

Could it simply be that the 3rd party defrag utils ignore this post-XP change and continue to use analysis algos similar to those XP used?

*Assuming that the 3rd party utils aren't lying about the real extent of fragmentation (which Windows is downplaying post-XP), how could the files have even got fragmented so badly given they were just copied over afresh to an empty drive?

*If vastly differing analysis algos explain the yawning gap, which do I believe? I'm no defrag fanatic for sure, but 85% is enough to make me seriously consider spending 10 hours defragging this drive. On the other hand, 1% reported by Windows' own defragger clearly implies that there is no cause for concern and defragging would actually have negative consequences (as per the post). Is Windows' assumption valid and should I just let it be, or will there be any noticeable performance gains after running one of the 3rd party utils for 10 hours straight?

*I see that out of the box Windows 7 defrag is scheduled to run weekly. Does anyone know whether it defrags every single time, or only if its analysis reveals a fragmentation percentage over a set threshold? If the latter, what is this threshold and can it be changed, maybe via a Registry edit?
Thanks for reading through (my first query on this wonderful site!) and for any helpful replies. Also, if you're answering question #3, please keep in mind that any speed increases post defragging with 3rd party utils vis-à-vis Windows' inbuilt program should not include pre-Vista (preferably pre-Win7) examples. Further, examples of programs that made your system boot faster won't help in this case, since this is a non-system drive (although one that'll still be used daily).

A:
"there is a point after which combining fragmented pieces of files has no discernible benefit."

1) I suppose defraggler is counting all the frags including all of them larger than 64mb, W7 ignores them because it is a waste of time to combine any above 64mb
2) I rarely see this on file copies to non system disks. Not sure what happened in your case.
3) I believe the Microsoft Engineers are correct.
4) W7 Defrag is set in Task Scheduler, you can edit the task to change any parameter you want.
Open Task Scheduler and go to Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > Defrag
right click on the task and select properties (you can export... the task as a backup in case you change something and it does not work out and you don't remember the factory defaults.
.

.
Edit the defrag task parameters in here
.

A: If I remember correctly, modern versions of NTFS deliberately leave some space between files (if the volume isn't too full) so that files can grow without becoming fragmented.  It is possible that the third party tools are looking at this empty space and counting it as fragmentation - that is, the free space on the volume is (intentionally) fragmented, and the third party utilities want to eliminate that, to reduce the risk of new files having to be fragmented to fit in the gaps.
If this is the case, defragmenting the drive with the third-party utilities won't result in any significant performance improvement, although it might avoid a potential performance loss if the volume ever becomes very full.  Personally I wouldn't bother.
