After a seemingly random uptime, wifi stops working on 12.09-rc1. I had the same behaviour on 10.03 as well, but never saved any logs. So I can't be 100% certain that it is the exact same problem. Frequency varies from 1 hour to a week.
When the problem happens the clients can still see the SSID, but fails to connect to it. On the network there is 5-6 clients, 1-2 used actively every day browsing the web. 1 client occasionally downloads large files, hence triggers a lot of data. It seems like the triggering is somewhat dependent on the traffic amount. But it doesn't have to be during high traffic loads.
A reboot of the device or a restart of hostapd solves the problems. Taking down and up wlan also seems to solve the problem, but it feels like it comes back quicker (although I really don't have any statistics to back that up).

Q: CSS 3 / How do I position 3 embedded videos next to each other? My problem is that I don't know how to properly position 3 videos next to each other - for some reason one of them always acts crazy and goes upwards. I tried floating, absolute positioning, now even a table and it still doesn't work!

How do you find the perfect partner?
You have to kiss a lot of frogs first!
What are the synergies of the business?
What are both parties passionate about?
Analogy alert! : rather than getting married after a few initial meetings go on some romantic dates, maybe even live together for a while, but be certain before having the kids or getting married.
People in tenders tell you what they think you want to hear rather than the truth!
Do you put a number in an RFP that is true or designed to win the tender? – The consensus (happily) was that you should be realistic and argue against anyone else's extravagant claims rather than play their game and sort it out afterwards.
Linked to the point above, we should respect honesty and truth and give marks for it during the process.
Say no and reject partnerships that don't fit. Management need to create an environment where this is possible.
Decide whether the partnership is tactical 6 months or strategic for the long term and cut the cloth accordingly.
Have the courage to step into the unknown - who knows where it may lead!
Resist the temptation to do too many tactical partnerships.
Partnerships are changing and many organisations have taken away targets from the front line in their partnership area to ensure focus on the customer is paramount.
Synergies and chemistry between organisations is more important longer term than short term commercial factors.
It's okay to have different objectives if they are clear and non-conflicting.


In an age of mass produced, battery powered disposable toys, often made in conditions of exploitation, our toys are of a different quality, both ethically and in terms of play value.
Hand-made and painted, using almost exclusively reclaimed and salvaged wood, each toy will stimulate and entertain for many years, or even generations !
The story began in 1984, when GABRIEL PFEIFFER, a philosophy student in Amsterdam, abandoned his studies and began making toys from wood he found in a skip. This was the beginning of a new journey for Gabi, learning the craft of toymaking, and studying the history and philosophy of play. For many years he made and sold his toys in the heart of Amsterdam, building his reputation and business, and a network of like minded craftsmen sharing workspace, labour and ideas. In 2000, Gabi moved to Herefordshire to marry his English Rose Sally, and began again. In 2008, the business moved into a new Workshop, again sharing space and inspiration with woodworking artists and craftsmen, all united in the goal of giving joy with a clear conscience.

Basket of Bread, Just Under the Crust
Basket of Bread, Salvador Dali 1945
Fractal Loaf of Bread with cross, Mandelbulb 3D
Back to Current Work
There have been whole studies done on Dali's bread, there can not be enough said to adequately describe its importance. Bread is used in many Dali paintings, for different reasons, from the overtly sexual "Ordinary French bread with Two Fried Eggs, without a Plate, on Horseback, Trying to Sodomise a Crumb of Portuguese Bread…", to the religious use of the Eucharist in the tabernacle of the christ childs chest in "The Madonna of Port Lligat". For a good general overview of Dali's use of bread in his paintings, read Julia Pines essay, "Breaking Dalinian Bread: On Consuming the Anthropomorphic, Performative, Ferocious, and Eucharistic Loaves of Salvador Dalí" I advise anyone interested in Dali to read it here;
http://www.rochester.edu/in_visible_culture/Issue_14/pine/index.html
Below are remarks about Dali's amazing Basket of Bread from 1945. I will delve Just below the Crust following those remarks.
From Wikipedia;
Basket of Bread (1945) or Basket of Bread-Rather Death Than Shame is a painting by Spanish Surrealist Salvador Dalí. The painting depicts a heel of a loaf bread in a basket, sitting near the edge of a table. Dalí's use of bread in his paintings is much more than a staple of one's diet. In this case, to understand Dalí's message, one must look at the political context at the time of the painting, his progression as an artist, his societal beliefs and how bread is used in the painting.
"Bread has always been one of the oldest subjects of fetishism and obsession in my work, the first and the one to which I have remained the most faithful. I painted the same subject 19 years ago. By making a very careful comparison of the two pictures, everyone can study all the history of painting right there, from the linear charm of primitivism to stereoscopic hyper-aestheticism."[1][2]
At 22, Dalí spent four months on the 1926 painting The Basket of Bread, of which he explains: "by the power of its density, the fascination of its immobility, creates the mystical, paroxysmic feeling of a situation beyond our ordinary notion of the real. We are at the borderline of dematerialization of matter by the sole power of the mind."[3]
The subject of this article, painted and completed in Monterey, California in 1945, he described to Luis Romero as "the most esoteric and the most Surrealist of anything I have painted to date,"[4] where the painting is even more dynamic by having the basket of bread placed on the edge of the table, giving a strong sense of forthcoming "borderline of dematerialization" than the painting of 1926.[3]
Dalí writes in the Bignou Gallery of New York catalogue that he painted Basket of Bread in two months, when "the most staggering and sensational episodes of contemporary history took place" and finished "one day before the end of the war".[5]
The painting's subtitle "Rather Death than Shame" takes on special significance during this time period. The basket is precariously situated on the edge of the uncovered table, against a starkly black backdrop, an omen to its own sacrificial destruction.[5]
The painting was also said by Dali to have been painted the week the atomic bombs fell on Japan. "My objective was to arrive at the immobility of the pre-explosive object", Dali reveals.[2]
In the 1940s, William Nichols, managing editor of This Week, saw an artist's work in an art gallery. Finding the piece, a painting of a loaf of bread, one of the most charming paintings he had ever seen he printed it in his magazine giving the artist in question his first mass audience. This Week Magazine, a syndicated Sunday magazine, at one time had a circulation of 15 million, the biggest in the world.[4]
Ah, Dali – playing with us again! And that's OK. Because it is something of an enigma to see such a classical-looking, utterly calm, decidedly non-surrealistic oil on panel emerge from Dali's studio. This delectable picture – which looks good enough to eat! – could just as easily have been painted by Zurburan, LaTour, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Velasquez….the list goes on. [6]

In the 1950's Dali declared he had always been painting Rhinocerous Horns. I am here to tell you he had always been painting Bread. Dali's Basket of Bread, as seen above, is every elbow, and every knee that Dali ever painted. Dali would tell me that on a beautiful woman, in a crowded room, the universe could revolve around her knee. The world revolves around Dali's bread, which is not just elbows and knees but the arms and legs of The Specter of Sex Appeal, the melting watches in any number of paintings and last but not least, Gala, Gala is Dali's divine bread.
The loaf of bread in the 1945 Basket of Bread, is an undulating explosive force. Within it belies the math of atomic force. It is the undulating abdomen of a queen termite. It is the extended skull needed to make room for his own fertile imagination. The magic in this painting is its seeming simplicity. In my version I have made visible all the geometry, fluid and chaotic motion, and the potential of there being much more than meets the eye.
I have chosen to depict all of this by utilizing fractals for every instance. Every element in the picture now has a mathematical and fractal element. The background, which Dali chose to depict in a plain flat black is anything but plain. I have used a Mobius Dragon IFS to depict not only the fluid motion of air currents that lie just beyond the perception of out normal senses but the chaotic convulsive motion of the atomic cloud or volcanic eruption. The simple kitchen table of Dali's version has been enhanced with the pattern of a Menger Sponge. This fractal adds almost infinite surface area to a space, which expands the importance and capability of the table to support the basket and bread. Dali's simple wicker basket hides how geometric and precise it is. I have replaced the basket with a fractal dodecahedron, where every elbow is constructed of yet another dodecahedron. Dali n this work payed homage to Euclid in hiding his platonic solids in the masterpiece. I have decided to put this one, squarely on display. Last but not least is the bred, knee which the universe revolves around, Gala and extended cranium of Dali's imagination. Dali's crust is smooth hiding the nuclear math it holds, wher my bread is a 3 dimensional fractal. Every inch covered and derived from the complex math Dali's version only hinted at. The Mandelbulb 3D generated loaf has anti gravitational crustules and even a cross, bringing forward the Eucharistic value of Dalinian bread. This crust is formed and alive with every geometric and fractal design imaginable, depicting the inherent potential of Dali's Bread of the 1945 Basket. I give you THe Basket of Bread, Just Under the Crust, so that everyone could see what the artist intended in his simple , yet potent still life.

Input the buttons anywhere in the game. The "Limited Debug Mode" code needs to be entered first and the "Full Debug Mode" code entered second. There is a chime after each debug mode is entered. Directions are entered using the directional pad. The left analog stick should be held still while L3 is held down.
These codes work on all final versions of all releases of this game. Note that for the Vita releases, use the rear touch pad to replace buttons: top-left for L2, bottom-left for L3, top-right for R2, and bottom-right for R3. Those codes requiring a second controller will not work on Vita.

Arlington Career Center Establishes Official Sister School Agreement with Tokyo Metropolitan Engei High School
Posted on November 19, 2018 at 2:09 pm.
Principal Tokuda (far left) joins together with Arlington Career Center Principal Margaret Chung and School Board member Barbara Kanninen (far right), along with students from Tokyo Metropolitan Engei High School, Arlington Career Center, Arlington Tech and HILT Institute, to plant dogwood trees as a symbol of friendship between the two schools.
Partnership promotes global education and international exchange opportunities for Arlington Career Center and Tokyo Metropolitan students
ARLINGTON, Va. – The APS Arlington Career Center in Northern Virginia and Tokyo Metropolitan Engei High School in Japan have affirmed a Sister School Agreement. The Sister School Agreement, signed on November 7, promotes understanding, friendship, global education, and international exchange programs between the two schools.
"International experiences and learning opportunities play an important role in preparing students to be successful global citizens by exposing them to new cultures and ideas," said Margaret Chung, principal, Arlington Career Center. "The Arlington Career Center is proud to be a Sister School to Tokyo Metropolitan Engei High School, and we believe this partnership will help open new doors for students in both programs, while raising their awareness of global issues and building bridges of mutual understanding and respect."
Tokyo Metropolitan Engei High School Principal Tokuda formally presented the Sister School Agreement as part of the school's 110th anniversary earlier this month. In addition, Principal Tokuda and Tokyo Metropolitan Engei students visited the Arlington Career Center to tour the school and engage with students and staff earlier this year. To commemorate 100 years of friendship between Japan and the United States, students from both schools planted dogwood trees at the Arlington Career Center. Planting dogwood trees is a symbol of the friendship between the two schools.
This agreement is based on the strong belief that global education is an essential investment for students and that through this partnership, both schools can foster innovative educational and cultural exchange activities and programs for the students, staff, and the wider communities that both schools serve.


Police in the United Kingdom had to release a man who had refused to poop for 47 straight days, according to the Guardian. 24-year-old Lamarr Chambers was arrested on January 17th and swallowed a bag of drugs before police could take him into custody.
Over the next 47 days, police kept him locked up assuming he would eventually pass the drugs when he went to the bathroom. Police petitioned the court seven times during that time to allow them to keep him in custody.
Police said Chambers was provided with food and water and met with a medical profession daily, according to Cambridge News.
The Mirror reported that police said they were "following medical and legal advice" in letting Chambers go. He was released on bail and was taken immediately to the hospital. Deputy Chief Constable Ben-Julian Harrington explained that dropping the charges and releasing him was the only to ensure he got the medical treatment he required.
"On the basis of all the medical evidence in this case it is most appropriate, both in the interests of Mr Chambers and of justice, to ensure he receives the hospital treatment he needs," he said.

Family is often thought of as a cohesive community sharing the same values and beliefs. Families can be comprised of people who share the same gender, faith, culture, as well as those with diverse culture. Families are bonded by love, commitment, and often have a genuine concern for one another. Families can be diverse in nature; they are unique and sometimes difficult to maintain. Every family face challenges of conflict, whether it's sibling rivalry, lack of communication, frustrations from lack of understanding one another, or anger.
Counseling is a tool that can be used as an avenue for change. Counseling also is a vehicle that welcomes resolution and positive change. As a counselor I strive to help families work together to create the family they desire to have.

Judge Who Banned Calling Trans Athletes 'Male' Has A History Of Favoring Sexual Predators
By: Penny Nance
The year was 2010. President Barack Obama was in office, and Democrats controlled the Senate. Obama could practically get any judge he wanted, but he could not get his nominee to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, Robert Chatigny, confirmed based on Chatigny's track record of favoring sexual predators over women and children. Now this same judge is prejudicing the case against female athletes by imposing a speech code on their counsel.
Judge Chatigny has a very troubling record. As I wrote at the time, serial killer Michael Ross explained in a documentary how he bound 14-year-old Leslie Shelley, stuffed her in his car trunk, and "took the other [14-year-old] girl, April Brunais, out, and I raped her and killed her, and I put her in the front seat." Ross said he had killed eight women and girls, ranging in age from 14 to 25, and if he hadn't been arrested, he would still be killing.
Yet Chatigny said Ross "never should have been convicted." Chatigny suggested that "sexual sadism is clearly a mitigating factor." So, according to this judge, sexual sadists deserve less time in prison because they are sick.
There is much more to that story. Chatigny's actions were so egregious that state prosecutors filed an ethics complaint against him.
The judge also has a track record of leniency on sex crimes. In the case of a 27-year-old man who lured a 15-year-old girl online, the sentencing guidelines called for 57-71 months, but Chatigny gave the man only 36 months because he concluded that the subject was remorseful, and it happened only once.
That's not all. In the 12 child pornography cases Chatigny heard at the time, he sentenced the perpetrator to less than the minimum recommendation in eight.
Chatigny's record was so alarming, Concerned Women for America, the organization I lead, got the attention of prominent female senators from both sides of the aisle who were just as troubled by the nomination. He was never brought forth for a vote in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Imagine my shock then, to hear it is Chatigny (who retained his seat in the district court) who is now bullying young female athletes in their case against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference.
Four brave young women are fighting for their rights under Title IX to compete in athletic events without facing discrimination because of their sex, as provided under federal law. The girls are currently being discriminated against, as the state athletic conference is allowing transgender athletes, men identifying as women, to dominate female sports.
Even before the case is argued, Chatigny is siding with one party by forcing counsel to refer to these biological male athletes as "transgender females." Counsel cannot say they are male. Chatigny said:
What I'm saying is you must refer to them as 'transgender females' rather than as 'males.' Again, that's the more accurate terminology, and I think that it fully protects your client's legitimate interests. Referring to these individuals as 'transgender females' is consistent with science, common practice, and perhaps human decency. To refer to them as 'males,' period, is not accurate.
In Chatigny's twisted logic, calling a biological male "male" is somehow inaccurate.
This is especially egregious in this case, wherein the biological makeup of men versus women is at the center of the unfair advantage that will harm women and deny them opportunities in athletics forever. If these policies continue, allowing males to take advantage of their biological makeup to compete against women, it will set back the progress made to protect women's rights by decades. This is why prominent athletes, such as Martina Navratilova, have spoken out against these policies, calling them "insane."
Roger Brooks, the Alliance Defending Freedom attorney representing the young women, correctly pointed out to Chatigny that he owes a duty to his client to represent them adequately. He said:
I do have a concern that I am not adequately representing my client, and I'm not accurately representing their position in this case as it has to be argued before Your Honor and all the way up if I refer to these individuals as 'female,' because that's simply, when we're talking about physiology, that's not accurate, at least in the belief of my clients.
Yet Chatigny gave Brooks "some time to think about it," and was already suggesting he would need to appeal or face punishment from the judge.
Chatigny's order is a slap in the face of these young female athletes. Without arguments by counsel or any evidence whatsoever, this judge predetermined the outcome of the case in violation of his oath of office.
Once again, it feels like women lose in Chatigny's courtroom. He should, at the very least, recuse himself. But given the history, I'm afraid Judge Chatigny's poor judgment extends far beyond this issue.

Te Kōpuru is the largest community on the Pouto Peninsula in Northland, New Zealand. The Wairoa River separates the peninsula at this point from the main North Auckland Peninsula to the east. Dargaville is  to the north.

History and culture

Pre-European history

The area was initially occupied by Ngāti Awa, but the Ngāti Whātua displaced them in the late 17th or early 18th century. During the Musket Wars of the early 19th century, fighting between Ngā Puhi and Ngāti Whātua and the effects of influenza substantially depopulated the area.

European settlement

In 1841, a skull found in a Pakeha farmer's store at Mangawhare infuriated local Māori, who enacted "Muru" by attacking and plundering his store. A court exonerated the farmer and the perpetrators of the "Muru" ceded the land at Te Kōpuru as compensation. The perpetrators had no interests or rights in the land. A hui held at Te Kōpuru in 1860 to make peace between Ngāti Whātua and Ngā Puhi was attended by about 600 people.

An attempt to set up a kauri sawmill at Te Kōpuru began in 1867, but the machinery was damaged because the ship was leaky, and the owners refused its delivery. In 1870 a mill engineer, B C Massey, was looking for work. It seems he built the mill, completed in 1870. It began operating the following year. The mill was the largest in New Zealand, producing  of timber per week in 1875. It was destroyed by fire in 1883, but rebuilt, and rebuilt again after another fire in 1906 The town had a stable population of about 215 by the end of the decade. By 1876, the town had stores which were "fitted up in first-rate style, and [were] well-stocked" and a library, but no hotel. A Post Office opened in 1877. In 1878, the town was described as like the "port of some thriving inland city". A steamer service provided transport to Dargaville and Helensville twice a week from February 1878, and a road to Dargaville opened in 1879.

20th century

The population increased to 440 during the 1890s as the timber industry grew. A road was built south to Tikinui in 1897, and partially metalled the following year. A library was built in 1899. Gum-diggers were active in the area in the 1890s through at least 1910, and around the turn of the century W Brown and Sons established a boat building yard at Te Kōpuru. Dairy herds became established in the early 20th century, In 1903, the Customs Office was moved to Te Kōpuru from Pouto. A hospital was built to treat the accident victims from Te Kōpuru, Aratapu and Tatarariki, with Te Kōpuru as the hospital site rather than Dargaville because the mill towns had a larger population.

The first sealed road in the Kaipara District was probably the one from Te Kōpuru to Mount Wesley, just south of Dargaville, in about 1918. The mill closed in 1920. Having a hospital sustained the town. The road north degraded to a metalled road by the 1930s. In 1956, the general wards of Te Kopuru Hospital moved to the new hospital in Dargaville. Maternity and services for the elderly continued, although the main hospital building burned down in 1959. In 1971, the hospital closed with maternity services moved to the Dargaville Hospital.

A ferry service was established in 1934 running from Raupo (on the eastern shore of the Northern Wairoa) to Tikinui (just south of Te Kōpuru). The service was initially established to transport milk from dairy farms on the Pouto Peninsula to the dairy factory located in Ruawai, but many travelers to the peninsula found using the ferry service preferable to driving through Dargaville (currently a 35-minute journey but far longer on the metalled and windy roads of the time). This was particularly true during the Toheroa season (now illegal to harvest as the population has not recovered from over exploitation in the 1950s and 1960s) when families would come from all over the country to harvest the shellfish, found on the west coast beaches of Northland, that many thought of as a delicacy. Improved road conditions and the establishment of a railway line led to the service being discontinued around 1971.

Marae

Some Ngāti Whātua marae are located in or around Te Kōpuru. Ōtūrei Marae and Rangimārie Te Aroha meeting house are affiliated with Te Uri o Hau and Te Popoto. The Waikāretu or Pōuto Marae and Rīpia marae sites are also connected with Te Uri o Hau.

Demographics

Singapore Air A380 Loses Cabin Pressure And Diverts To Azerbaijan
Singapore Air flight 317 left London on January 5, 2014 but never made it to its destination. On the way to Singapore at 1:03 am oxygen masks were deployed as the A380 was carrying 467 passengers and 27 crewmembers onboard.
I don't know about you, but I'd be a little nervous if I was ever on a plane when oxygen masks were deployed, especially a large plane like the A380.
Singapore Airlines released a statement saying:
Flight SQ317, an Airbus A380 operating from London to Singapore, diverted to Baku in Azerbaijan on 6 January 2014 as a result of a cabin depressurisation. Oxygen masks were deployed and the aircraft landed uneventfully at Baku airport at 01:03 (local time). There were no injuries to the 467 passengers and 27 crew on board.
We are seeking clearance from local authorities to transfer affected customers to a hotel until a replacement aircraft arrives from Singapore.
Customers may wish to contact our Reservation and Ticketing Office in Singapore at +65 6223 8888 for assistance.
This report mentions something about a door being inspected in London after complaints about the door on the inbound flight. The door was inspected and the plane was cleared for flight.
According to Singapore's Facebook page, a replacement aircraft is on the way to pickup the passengers and take them to Singapore.
Here is an update on flight SQ317, which diverted to Baku, Azerbaijan earlier today due to a technical problem. A replacement aircraft has now departed Singapore bound for Baku and is due to arrive at around 2300hrs, 6 January, Baku local time. It is expected to arrive in Singapore in the early afternoon of 7 January, Singapore local time.
As we do not operate regular flights to Baku, Singapore Airlines staff have been sent from both Istanbul and Moscow to provide assistance on the ground.
We sincerely apologise to affected customers for the inconvenience caused by the diversion and the lengthy delay encountered at the airport in Baku.
Thankfully the plane landed in Baku, Azerbaijan safely and no injuries were reported.

Hear the sounds of the Crenshaw Corridor on Terrace Martin's new album
by Lexi Hinton , March 27, 2017

Terrace Martin has produced records with some of hip hop's biggest names, but now he returns to his own music — bringing his south L.A. roots to the forefront. If you've heard Kendrick Lamar's album To Pimp A Butterfly, you'd be familiar with the super-producer's jazzy and soulful West Coast influence. And those same sounds can be heard on his newest project, Crenshaw Dreams.
The album is named after Crenshaw to pay homage to the neighborhood Martin grew up in, and as part of the 70th anniversary celebration of the Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza. Baldwin Hills Crenshaw is the nation's first suburban shopping mall and has been a pillar in the community since opening its doors in 1947. The mall has continued to play a vital role in the arts and music scene by hosting free concerts that feature local talent — programming that Martin supports wholeheartedly.
Fun fact: As a music prodigy, Martin gained the interest of talk show host Jay Leno, who presented him with a scholarship and later purchased his first professional saxophone!
Crenshaw Dreams features 10 feel-good tracks infused with jazz, hip hop, R&B and a crystal clear indication of his Crenshaw upbringing. One of the songs is dedicated to a bus line that serves the area: the Metro 210. The instrumental track is any easy listen with a mix of live instruments and studio beats; the perfect soundtrack for someone on the go.
My personal favorite track on the album is Leimert Park. It begins with a drum beat similar to Janet Jackson's That's the Way Love Goes, then follows up with Martin playing saxophone. Perhaps Martin might be interested in producing a Leimert Park pt. 2 after the Crenshaw/LAX Line Leimert Park Station opens!
There are two other songs that give a direct shout out to Martin's stomping grounds: L.A. Dreamen, which seems pretty self-explanatory, and Ladera Heartbreak, which refers to the neighborhood of Ladera Heights that is located just west of Crenshaw.
Crenshaw Dreams is on Soundcloud and can be streamed for free until April 14. The album is also available for purchase at Bandcamp.com.

The Skelton Viaduct, also known as the Hook bridge or Goole railway swing bridge, is a large viaducted hogback plate girder bridge with swing span over the River Ouse, Yorkshire near Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The bridge was designed by Thomas Elliot Harrison for the Hull and Doncaster Branch of the North Eastern Railway and opened in 1869.

In the latter part of the 20th century, the bridge became known for the frequent incidents involving ship collisions with the superstructure. As of 2022, it is still in use.

History and description

During the 1860s, a number of attempts were made by different railway companies to create a new line better connecting Kingston upon Hull and South Yorkshire; in 1862 the North Eastern Railway promoted a bill for a line which was unopposed by the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway, and Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on the understanding of mutual running powers for the companies, either to Hull, or on lines in South Yorkshire. The bill, the "North Eastern Railway (Hull and Doncaster Branch)" was deposited  late 1862, for a line from a junction on the Hull and Selby Line near  Staddlethorpe (near Gilberdyke) to a junction with the South Yorkshire Railway near Thorne, Hatfield and Stainforth. The act was passed in mid-1863.

As part of the construction of the line, a bridge was required over the River Ouse near Goole between Skelton and Hook.

Construction and design

The bridge consisted of four fixed spans, one swing span and a fifth swing span, and carried a double-track railway.

Pier foundations for the bridge spans were of  base diameter cast iron cylinders, which tapered to  diameter at the high water level, each column was around  long. The piers were sunk into the river alluvium using a mass placed on them, and then by the pneumatic Caisson process until bedrock was reached. The tubes were then filled with Portland cement concrete to within  of the top, the final fill was with brickwork with a top course of granite. The river abutments were of brick with stone dressing.

The fixed spans were  long, made of three wrought iron hogback plate girders each, resting on three piers.  The swing span was constructed of three hogback wrought iron box girders, each  long, each box girder having a thickness of  made of plates  thick. In addition to the transverse deck girders the swing span was also braced by three transverse frames, which also served to support a bridgeman's hut over the centre of the bridge.

The swing span was supported and turned on 26 conical rollers, which were supported by an annular box girder  high by wide, itself resting on six of the cast iron piers with approximately  of the pier sunk into the river bed.

The bridge rotated around a central column, which contained a hydraulic accumulator of  stroke, with  diameter ram loaded to , used to power the turning mechanism. The bridge was turned by a three-cylinder hydraulic motor (duplicated for redundancy), and gears. The accumulator was charged by  steam engines, also duplicated. The engines were supplied by field boilers also located on the central pier.

When in the closed position a hydraulic mechanism at either end of the bridge was used to lock the bridge in position. The bridge could be opened in 50 seconds.

The bridge superstructure was designed was T. E. Harrison of the NER, and erected by Pease, Hutchinson and Company (Skerne Ironworks). The fixed spans were supplied by Butler and Pitts (Stanningley), the hydraulic motors were of the design of Sir W.G. Armstrong.

The swing span weighed , the weight of iron in the piers , with  of iron in the girders. The swing span opening was over  in width, with a height above high water when closed of over , The swing pier included a river jetty  long.

The bridge was crossed by NER officials in 1868, and the line opened on 2 August 1869.

Working history

On 21 March 1922, the river pier and engine room of the swing span was badly damaged by fire.

In May 1933, the LNER had a miniature thumb switch controlled signalling frame installed at the bridge by Westinghouse, at the same time the line from Staddlethorpe to Goole had colour light signalling installed; both were early examples of either technology in use. At the same time, two signal boxes at either end of the bridge were closed.

The bridge has had several collisions with water-going ships.

On 21 December 1973, the bridge was struck by a German coaster (Vineta ), causing one of the spans to fall into the river, leaving the bridge unworkable for nine months.

On 2 August 1976, Danish vessel Leon Sif () hit one of the bridge's piers.

British Rail began closure procedures for the railway line due to costs associated repairing the bridge's pier, estimated at £2 million, coupled with a historic failure to get adequate compensation for damage to the bridge caused by shipping.

In 1987, the structure was given a grade II* listing by English Heritage.

On 23 November 1988, one of the fixed spans was pushed out of alignment by a collision with the Swedish vessel Samo (), which became trapped between the bridge's piers.

By the early 21st century, understrength girders and corrosion had led to the line speed over the bridge being reduced to  for passenger trains, down to only  for trains with a route availability of 9 or more. In 2009, a modernisation programme began – Clancy Docwra installed services (telecoms, fresh and waste water, electricity, signalling) to the central pier through piping under the river bed. Carillion was appointed main contractor in March 2010. The bridge steelwork was repaired and upgraded over a six-week line closure starting in October 2010 – over 400 tonnes of steelwork was installed including diagonal transverse braces, and stiffening to the girders of the web. Additional work included track renewal and painting of the bridge. The total cost of the project was £6 million; the firm of Pell Frischmann was the designing engineer.

Congress Approves Medicaid Access for Marshall Islanders
Health and Wellness, News, Political
The relief package restores Medicaid access to migrants who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.

Contained within the nearly 5,600 pages of a federal COVID-19 relief bill is a promise of Medicaid access for the Marshallese community.
"It's a huge milestone for us because we've been fighting for over 20 years," says Melisa Laelan, executive director of Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese.
With this legislation, Medicaid will be available to citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of Palau. Under the Compacts of Free Association, citizens from these nations are given free entry to the U.S. in exchange for military access to their ocean territories.
While COFA migrants can live and work in the U.S., they lost Medicaid coverage under the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. The new legislation corrects a wrong that was done, Laelan says.
"This is fixing the injustice that really caused a lot of pain for this community and a lot of death," she says. "People did not realize how bad it is until COVID hit."
Marshall Islanders have higher rates of some adverse health outcomes because of long-standing systemic factors such as poverty, poor access to care, and a nuclear bomb testing program during the Cold War, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The pandemic has exacerbated the issue.
The CDC analyzed the Hispanic and Marshallese communities in Benton and Washington Counties from March through June 2020. The report found the COVID-19 mortality rate among the Marshallese population was 65 times higher than the rates among their white counterparts.
State Representative Megan Godfrey is a Democrat serving the state's 89th District, which covers a portion of Springdale, home to one of the largest populations of Marshallese outside of the Marshall Islands. Access to Medicaid has been the most important issue for her Marshallese constituents.
"As a state representative this was a federal issue, but one that I was really watching and following closely, but also looking for solutions at the state level because having this coverage, having Medicaid access to our Marshallese neighbors is so vital that we have been collaborating to see what we could do at the state level if it wasn't solved at the federal," Godfrey says.
Her predecessor, former Rep. Jeff Williams, and fellow Springdale Republican Sen. Lance Eads, worked on an effort that helped Marshallese children receive health care coverage under the ArKids First program. Access to the program began in 2018.
"It's been a huge help and I think our community is super grateful for that extended coverage and it also highlighted the need to continue to expand to adults in the community as well," she says.
The legislation passed by Congress is now headed to the president's desk to be signed into law.

The application of CP polarizes steel in the electronegative direction, while raising the pH at the interface at the same time.
Generally speaking, galvanized steel can last for many years in nonaggressive environments, and typically does an excellent job of protecting steel when the structure is located in moderately corrosive environments where oxidizing conditions prevail.
Some unique capabilities of cathodic protection design methodology are showcased with grillage-type foundations for power transmission structures.
One of the areas where cathodic protection is commonly applied to marine structures for corrosion protection is the steel piling systems on jetties and piers. This article discusses the design and implementation of CP on a newly constructed jetty in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Experienced concrete maintenance and restoration specialists explain the unique challenges in protecting parking structures from a constant onslaught of environmental stressors and wear and tear, along with examples of successful repair techniques.

Hepatitis B Vaccine: What Parents Need to Know
Hepatitis B is an infection of the liver. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). HBV can cause lifelong HBV infection and can lead to liver cancer or permanent scarring of the liver (cirrhosis).
More than 1 million people in the United States are living with lifelong HBV infection. Anyone can get infected with HBV, including your child. The hepatitis B vaccine is the best way to protect your child from becoming infected.
Read on for more information from the American Academy of Pediatrics about how HBV is spread and why the hepatitis B vaccine is so important.
How is hepatitis B virus spread?
Hepatitis B virus is spread by blood or body fluids.
Here are ways exposure to these fluids can happen:
During birth (if the mother has HBV)
Sharing personal items, such as razors or toothbrushes, with a person who is infected
Having unprotected sex with a person who is infected
Injecting or shooting drugs using a needle with infected blood -- Infection through direct contact with infected blood may occur.
Some children may also become infected with HBV while living in the same household as a person with a lifelong form of the infection.
Why is my child at risk?
You may feel your child will never be exposed to HBV in any of these ways.
Here are some facts about HBV to think about:
One-third of people who are infected with HBV in the United States don't know how they got it.
Some people with HBV do not even know they are infected.
A person, especially a child, with HBV may not feel or look sick.
Nearly half of the more than 5,000 adult Americans who die from hepatitis B each year caught their infection during childhood.
People with HBV can pass it to others who aren't protected. Immunizing your child against this virus will protect her now and when she is older and exposed to more people.
Is the hepatitis B vaccine safe?
The vaccine is very safe. No serious reactions have been linked to this vaccine. Side effects are usually mild and include fussiness or soreness where the shot was given. Symptoms usually go away within 48 to 72 hours. Keep in mind that getting the vaccine is much safer than getting the disease.
When should my child get the hepatitis B vaccine?
Your child needs at least 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine to be fully protected.
The recommended times to receive hepatitis B vaccine are:
At birth
At 1 to 2 months of age
At 6 to 18 months of age
Newborns should receive their first dose of vaccine within the first 24 hours of birth. Newborns who for a medical or other reason did not get the vaccine at birth should get their first dose as soon as possible, and complete all 3 doses at the recommended intervals.
If a pregnant woman tests positive for HBV during routine prenatal screening or at the time of delivery, her child must receive the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 12 hours of birth. The second dose should be given at 1 month of age, and the final dose by 6 months of age.
Older children or teens who have not been immunized and any unvaccinated person living with a person who is known to be infected by HBV should receive 3 doses of the vaccine to be protected against infection.
It's important that your child gets all 3 doses of the hepatitis B vaccine as recommended in the childhood immunization schedule. The vaccine is very effective. More than 95% of children who receive all the recommended doses of the vaccine are fully protected against the illnesses caused by HBV.
Who should not get the vaccine?
In rare cases, there are children who should not get the vaccine, including:
Children who had a severe allergic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine. Such reactions are rare.
Children who are more than mildly sick on the day the vaccination is scheduled. These children may need to wait until they are feeling better. Children with minor colds, an upset stomach, or an ear infection can receive the hepatitis B vaccine safely.
Immunizations have protected children for years, but vaccines only work if your child is immunized. It only takes 3 doses of the hepatitis B vaccine to protect your child for a lifetime.

Target is handing out Wii GiftCards in anticipation of Nintendo's release of this remarkable console. The cards are a bit thicker than your regular credit card and house some pretty nifty electronics. Pressing the button on the outside of the card turns on a ominous blue Wii glow that lasts about ten seconds. I'll pop the case on this little thing and check out the internals. After that we'll add a bit of functionality to the LEDs.
On the back side of the card are four #0 Phillips screws to remove.
Carefully remove the backplate and observe the four light diffusers on the edges of the card.
Stash the backplate, diffusers, and screws somewhere safe.
Now that you've got the thing open lets take a look at the innards.
-Six blue LEDs are mounted on the corners to illuminate the edges of the card and two more are pointed into the Wii logo at the center.
-The diffuser bars only fit into their spots one way, notice the larger area of plastic extending towards the outside.
-Note the button mounted in the front plastic cover, it lines up with the metal button on the board.
-On the circuit board there are several key spots that I highlighted. Most important is the little black glob just right of center on the bottom. This is most likely a 555 timer IC, it controls the delay that keeps the LEDs lit.
-There are three 10ohm current limiting resistors on the board to protect the LEDs from high currents. The one noted on the top regulates the inner LEDs, the two on the right side of the board regulate the left and right sets of wired LEDs.
-The transistor switches on the LED circuit when the middle pin is connected to ground. This is needed because the current draw of the LEDs is to great for the little blob IC. The right pin runs to the LEDs, the pin on the left, to the positive rail.
Depending on how many people have played with the card before you got it you might have to change the batteries. Target made this surprisingly easy to do. The circuit bard holds three G10A (LR54) coin batteries. Each one provides 1.5V and the board is designed to run them together in series for a total of 4.5V.
To remove the batteries, bend the tabs on the outside edges of the battery holders. You may have to pry them up with a small screwdriver first and then grip them with pliers. Be careful not to break them off.
Next, push the battery out and slip in your new ones.
At this point you could solder some wires to the noted contacts and power the card from a 5V wall adapter. You'll have to short out the two resistors to the right of the blob to make the LEDs stay lit.
Step 4: Don't Read the Fine Print!
The back of the card lets everybody know that you found it at Target, it's a gift card, and its copyrighted. It would look a lot better just clean and white. It took me awhile to figure out exactly how to git rid of the text. The top part is printed in a dye, as is the copyright in the lower left. The center bar code and the stuff on the bottom right is stamped with some kind of non-reflective ink. I think this prevents people from changing the bar codes and, unfortunately, erasing them too.
I thought that acetone might be a good approach as it eats plastic, sadly I was wrong.
Next I tried a Dremel buffer wheel, nix that plan too. The wheel gets too hot and burns the plastic randomly.
The best way to remove the text ended up being a simple razor blade and some patience. Start at one side of the card with the razor blade vertical. Scrape the blade softly across the surface of the card and you should start to see the writing peal off. This'll leave the card a bit dull and scratched looking so you might have to sand it down with some 600 grit sandpaper. You can usually find sandpaper this fine at hobby stores.
If you want to take it a step further you could spray paint your own logo on the back with a stencil and then finish it off with a protective gloss.
Say you don't like the Wii and you still want a flashy card to show off to your friends. The front of the card is a sticker, easily pealed off and tossed aside.
Once you've done that, flip the card over and take a look at the clear plastic piece in the center. This is held on with a couple of melt rivets that can be cut off to pull the clear insert out of the front.
After this, start up your Dremel and cut out the rest of the plastic in the center window.
The LEDs are 3mm standard size and run at about 3.3V. With the current limiting resistor at only 10ohms we can assume that these LEDs are of the "Super Bright " category. Any color led of that takes a 3V 20mA input should be fine here. I "photoshoped" a little preview below.
Kinda simple, but definitively a necessity. Pierce a hole in one of the corners to attach a small cord to, or make a loop that attaches to some other lanyard.
I went a bit over the top and decided to add a PIC microcontroler to the card and flash some Morse code over the LEDs. I'll show you exactly how to do this in the following step.
PIC microcontrolers are programed in assembly and can be a bit tricky to learn. I don't really have the time to show you the ins and outs of programing PICs, but I can start you off with a little Morse code program I wrote for the Wii release. You'll need to program the chips before you solder them into the circuit becasue the programing lines are going to be used by the card.
To send a Morse code string use the subroutines "S" for a dot, "L" for a dash, "CS" for a letter separator, and "WS" for a word space.
The sleep command will keep the PIC in a low power state until the button is pressed on the card. Just before sending the PIC to sleep I read the status of the port into the "sandbox" register so that the chip would know how the button changed.
The following code was written for the PIC10F202.
The PIC I chose to use for this project is one of the smallest DIP microcontrolers you can find, the PIC10F202. Microchip makes surface mount versions of this chip that I would have liked to use but at 2.6mm I couldn't reasonably work with them.
You can leave the casing of the card "as is" and still have room for the PIC in the center, right underneath the Wii logo. I did this with my versions and and didn't have a problem.
You'll need to start by cutting a trace on the board that runs from the button to the little blob IC. We're going to tap into the button and avoid adding another. You'll want to make the cut close to the black blob so that we can solder a wire directly to the remaining trace. You'll know that the cut worked when you can't press the button to turn on the LEDs (when you insert the batteries, the LEDs will still turn on for ten seconds).
Once you've cut the trace, scrape off a little bit of the solder mask coating the trace. This is where you'll solder the wire to your PIC.
Now we need to add wires to bring power off the main board and to the PIC. Remember the two pads that I pointed out for ground and +4.5V. You'll need to solder a wire to each of these pads.
The final wire you'll need should be soldered to the bottom right resistor on the board, this is a current limiting resistor for the transistor. Solder to the side of the resistor closest to the black blob. There isn't really a need to cut a trace here since we already disabled the time by cutting the button trace.
Now your ready to place your PIC.
Solder the two power lines to the corresponding pin on the PIC. +4.5V should go to Vdd(Voltage drain) and the ground should go to Vss(Voltage source).
Solder the wire from the LED transistor to the PIC's Port 0.
Solder the wire from the button to Port 3 on the PIC, thats the input only port.
why not just spraypaint the back white?
Target stopped producing these once the Wii was released a few years ago.
Keep an eye out for some of the other crazy gift cards they make, I don't think they have anything electronic right now. Nevertheless they are pretty creative in the gifting department.
If it's a gift card, why would you want to scratch off the bar code?
No... He used Gimp and Blurred it so nobody would try and use it, because it is possible to reactivate a used gift card and track someone with it.
wot is the point of this?
the point is to change the color on a gift card and make it seem complimicated.
They stopped selling the wii ones a while back, but they just started selling Blu-Ray giftcards which are exactly the same. (I guess they just had blank ones and printed Blu-ray instead of Wii on them.
So.. What does it do? As far as I can tell, you took apart a card, changed the lights, and did something with Morse Code.
This gives me an idea, but I'm not too circuit savvy.
What would I need to solder in to allow this to run from a 12v source?
If you're wondering where I'm going with this, look at --> this.
I've got a blue car with a blue interior - so this would be cool. But I'd never pay $80-100 dollars for this.
You just need a large resistor to drop the voltage to 5v. Then solder the 5v power to the positive and negative points on the board mentioned by friedpope above (and remove the batteries) and you should be good to go.
you could also use a 7805 voltage regulator chip.
Can you program the 7805? I might have need for a dual-voltage output circuit in the near future . . .
