Printed in the Herald-Times, April 20, 2018.
April 19, 2018 was twenty five years since the Clinton Administration used military force, including tanks, against American citizens on American soil. About 80 people, including about 20 children, died during that raid. The original paramilitary raid in February 1993 that started the standoff was also foolish excessive force.
I wish that conservatives who are rightly angered over the botched siege on the Branch Davidian cultists would recognize the dangers of militarizing domestic police. David Koresh was an evil man, but this excessive force cannot be justified.
Let's remember other victims of overly aggressive police raids. Kathryn Johnston was 92 when she was gunned down in her own home. Bounkham Phonesavanh was horribly maimed when a flash-bang grenade was tossed into his crib. Isaac Singletary was killed by police posing as drug dealers on his own front lawn. The 80 year old man tried to chase them off.
This has local implications. Several years ago, the city of Bloomington applied for a Mine Resistant, Ambush Protected (MRAP) military vehicle from the Obama administration. Bloomington did not get the MRAP, so they are instead purchasing a BearCat armored vehicle, also raising concerns about police militarization. We must oppose police militarization.

While the fishes go round and round the mini treasure trunk, it is a delight to watch. Thus a fish as a pet is more like a friend who listens to all your worries and makes funny actions so as to calm you down. The best part is that in return all it wants is your love, care and attention.
A fish only demands 10 minutes of attention twice a day while you feed it. Besides this, you need to clean the entire aquarium only once in 3 months. This clearly means that a fish requires least care and in return showers immense peace and love.
Why to choose branded fish foods and aquarium accessories?
Firstly, let us talk about fish food. These beautiful aquatic creatures can't be fed with anything random. There are special foods for these special pets. It is important to select branded fish food because brand speaks about quality and quality ensures health of the fish. Certainly, you also want your little aquatic friend to enjoy a happy and long lasting life.
Secondly, the fish tank accessories. Like a structure of bricks and cement is home to you, a glass aquarium is home to fishes. As you love to live in a clean and decorative house, so do fishes. Though they would never complain or ask to put in any accessory in the aquarium, it is your own wisdom and decision.
What type of fish foods and accessories can one find at the Pets World?
At Pets World, we provide a wide variety of fish products. Our product list has everything, be it the branded foods for fish (like TOKYU Spirulina Fish Feed, HIKARI Betta Fish Food and Aqueon Goldfish Flakes) or products for aquarium (like bubble maker and air pump).
Our products have always been the first choice of the market; thus, you don't have to think much before placing an order.

Obama signs bill overhauling patent, trademark laws
By Debbie Siegelbaum - 09/16/11 04:09 PM EDT
President Obama has signed legislation overhauling the nation's patent and trademark laws, a move the administration claims will speed the patent process and spur job growth.
Appearing at an event at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Va., Friday, Obama signed the America Invents Act into law, changing the U.S. from a first-to-invent to a first-to-file patent system.
"I asked Congress to send me a bill that reforms the outdated patent process, a bill that cuts away the red tape that slows down our investors and entrepreneurs," he said. "And today I'm happy to have the opportunity to finally sign that bill."
The legislation is viewed as the most significant reform of the patent act in nearly 60 years, and is the culmination of a six-year campaign by corporate supporters.
Obama also took the opportunity to push the American Jobs Act, which he sees as "connected" to the patent reform legislation.
"This change in our patent laws is part of our agenda for making us competitive over the long term," he said. "But we also have a short-term economic crisis, a set of challenges that we have to deal with right now ... I want Congress to pass this jobs bill right away.
"Everything in the proposal, everything in the American Jobs Act, is the kind of proposal that's been supported by Democrats and Republicans in the past," he added. "Everything in it will be paid for."
Obama's comments come a week after House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Eric Ivan CantorGOP faces tough battle to become 'party of health care' 737 crisis tests Boeing's clout in Washington House Republicans find silver lining in minority MORE (R-Va.) warned that Democrats should not expect the House to accept the proposed jobs act in its entirety. He said the House is instead likely to make Obama's bill a starting point for negotiations on how best to promote job growth.
"Insisting that this body and the two sides here agree on everything is not a reasonable expectation," Cantor said on the House floor Sept. 9.
In addition to signing the sweeping patent reform legislation on Friday, Obama announced several new initiatives to speed up research breakthroughs from labs to the marketplace.
The government will launch a new National Institutes of Health (NIH) center that will help companies reduce the time and costs required to develop life-saving drugs, making it easier for start-ups to commercialize the biomedical inventions made by NIH and Food and Drug Administration researchers.
The administration will also develop a bio-economy blueprint to create jobs and address key national challenges in health, energy and agriculture. A new prize — supported by the National Science Foundation and the Coulter Foundation — will also be offered to reward universities that make the most progress in accelerating economic growth and job creation.

This presentation describes the silvics of green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), pumpkin ash (F. profunda), Carolina ash (F. caroliniana), and white ash (F. americana). Green ash is the primary ash species in southern bottomlands. Pumpkin ash and Carolina ash are relatively minor species with limited ranges that occur on very wet bottomland sites. White ash is the primary ash species in the loessial hills and on other upland sites across the South.

This apartment was as advertised. It was clean and towels and good quality toiletries provided for. Internet access was reliable and fast. There was also a phone to use for local calls which made it very convenient for us.The sofa bed mattress is an air mattress and very comfortable for my two kids, unlike the usual sofa bed matress which is thin and uncomfortable.The location is very good as it is close to 3 local subway stations and 1 express station about 15 mins walk away in Downtown Brooklyn. This station also has a big food supermarket.There are a number of good restaurants in the area as well.Terry, the landlord is very hospitable and helpful and we would not hesitate to stay there again on our next visit to the Big Apple.
This apartment is very clean and very comfortable and it has been nicely renovated.Our host was very helpful and pleasant to deal with and gave us wonderful recommendations. I highly recommend to anyone whoever is interested in her apartment.
My wife and I stayed here for two months Sept/Oct and it was one of the most rewarding stays we have had in any country. The area is multi-ethnic which we liked. Restaurants abounded. Every day was an experience. The landlord was excellent and gave value for money. The area is safe and my wife used to walk home late from the Marc Morris school of dancing. The apartment was clean, newly decorated and warm in Winter; cool in Summer. The landlord responded immediately to our concerns and we cant praise her enough.
Our stay at this sublet was wonderful. The apartment is in a great location, very clean and well equipped. Terry, the landlady, was very accommodating. We highly recommend this sublet.
My husband and I spent Feb/March 2013 in this apt. Its amazing! Actuallymore spacious than it looks in the photos and definitely comfortable. Really nice linens, the kitchen is fully functional, cable, internet, etc,all above average.The neighborhood is wonderful. Lots of cool coffee shops, bars, greatrestaurants and easy access to trains to Manhattan. Short walk to Prospect Park, BAM, Museum and Park Slope -- with all its trendy spots.We were there in the winter so our windows were closed, but it was quietand peaceful.The owner/landlord is terrific. Highly recommended!!

Thor Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO) announced today that it will build the world's first commercially- viable, fuel cell powered, zero emissions transit buses in an exclusive alliance with International Fuel Cells Inc.(IFC), a Unitied Technologies (NYSE: UTX) company, and ISE Research.

Thor Industries, Inc. (NYSE: THO) announced today that it will build the world's first commercially- viable, fuel cell powered, zero emissions transit buses in an exclusive alliance with International Fuel Cells Inc.(IFC), a Unitied Technologies (NYSE: Utx) company, and ISE Research. The first bus will be built by mid 2001.
IFC is the world's largest and most advanced manufacturer of fuel cells. IFC fuel cells have powered every NASA space shuttle mission and IFC is the leader in stationary fuel cell power plants. Thor is the largest mid-size bus builder and the second largest recreation vehicle manufacturer.
Thor has exclusive rights for use of IFC's fuel cells in the complete drive system, called ThunderPower, for all North American mid-sized buses. "ThunderPower is the leading edge technology and the market potential is very large," said Wade F.B. Thompson, Thor Chairman.
"This is an extraordinary break-through in clean transit buses. Thor is already the leader in clean burning alternative-fueled buses and fuel cells are the power of the future. We will build our 30′ E-Z Rider low floor transit buses powered by a fuel cell hybrid drive system to sell at a price competitive with other alternative fuels. The key difference will be improved reliability and efficiency and absolutely no emissions," Mr. Thompson added.
ISE Research Corporation, San Diego, CA, the leading developer and integrator of hybrid drive systems for bus and truck applications, will provide its hybrid system and perform the fuel cell systems integration.

Here are 12 essential questions you should ask your Las Vegas real estate agent or broker before you hire them to help with your home sale or purchase.
What percentage of your homes sell at the full asking price? How close to the initial asking prices were the final sale prices of the homes you sold?
Will I be working with you directly or passed to a teammate?
Experienced agents typically make better agents. Look for Realtors® with at least five years' experience in the local market. Check that they are used to dealing with properties that mirror yours in terms of size, style and price point. A seasoned agent used to selling deluxe golf estates may not be the best agent for selling a production starter home.
All real estate agents should be licensed by their local state regulatory board. Many real estate agents take their education further and earn advanced designations in specialties such as buyer representation, property management, second-homes and the seniors market. About half of all licensed agents belong to the National Association of Realtors. NAR members pledge to observe a strict code of ethics and continuous training that typically goes beyond that required by the state regulators. Advanced designations are not deal-breakers, but they do signal commitment to the profession.
The Las Vegas Real Estate agent with a stellar sales record likely is an knowledgeable expert with a significant profile in the local market. Who wouldn't want to hire a hard-working, driven dynamo? But, hold up a minute. A solo agent who is selling two or three homes a week likely is not going to have time for you. You want an real estate agent that will hold your hand through the home selling process, not pass you to an assistant or be too busy to return your calls.
Real estate markets are incredibly local: so local, in fact, that one house may experience a different price point and absorption rates (time on the market), and attract a different type of buyer, to a similar house just one street over. A good agent on paper is no use to you if she isn't doing active business in your local market. Exceptional agents typically specialize in just a handful of communities. That way, they can keep up to date with school rankings, crime rates, zoning policies, employment statistics, freeway expansions – all the metrics that determine a property's true value.
This question establishes how skilled the Las Vegas real estate agent is at pricing homes. Get the price point too high, and the home will be harder to market and sell; too low, and you'll be out of pocket by many thousands of dollars.
Real estate agency teams are growing in popularity. Done properly, they allow people with different skill-sets to collaborate. A well-structured team frees the sales agent to do what she does best – sell your home – while the administration team shows houses and handles the paperwork. On the other hand, collaboration doesn't work if the team behind the agent is poor, or you can't connect with your primary agent. If you're worried about being passed to an assistant, go with the solo player.
Good agents have aggressive and multi-pronged marketing strategies that adapt to a buyer's or a seller's market. Press for details. Does the agent keep a database of interested buyers? How will she approach them? Will the agent put advertisements in newspapers? How will she exploit the internet and social media? Will someone stage the home?
You're both busy people, so you need an agent whose communication style fits well with yours. Do you prefer the agent to keep in touch through phone calls or e-mail? Do you expect a call after someone tours your house, even if the viewer is no hot prospect? Would you like twice-weekly updates, or just when there's something to report?
This is a classic interview question that can take the wrong road unless the agent has done some thinking ahead of time. Don't settle for someone who promises to list, market and sell your property: this is the basic level of service that every agent should offer. What you want to hear is, what makes this person stand out from the crowd? If the agent can't sell herself, she probably can't sell your home.
With over 2.5 million real estate agents out there, and over 11,000 Las Vegas Real Estate Agents finding the right one for your transaction is tough. Interviewing potential candidates is the only way to select a Realtor® with the personality, credentials and experience to really fight your corner. Ultimately, the interview is about three things: how well the agent knows the local market, how effectively he will represent you, and whether you can work together, both practically and ethically.

Q: How to extract some information from my email? I want to search my email inbox by word "subscriber" and then extract some information from results (precisely from the body of each email). So the following steps should be done:

*

*Connecting to the Gmail server

*Searching my inbox by word "subscriber"

*Opening all of results (which are about 1000 emails when I did it manually)

*Extracting the email address in each result  collecting all addresses in a table for example or export them as a excel file.

So I went through these steps:
con= MailServerConnect["imap.gmail.com", "user", "pass"];
in = con["INBOX"];
res = MailSearch[in, <|"Body" -> "subscriber"|>];
res // Dimensions
(*{1172, 18}*)

the following image shows res

Now I want to extract the body of these results, as you can see there is just "subject" field which can be collected into a table
mat = Table[res[[i, 10]], {i, Length[res]}];

How can I recall the body of these emails and collect them in a table as above? Also how can I restrict the search to a limited date (for example from 2015 t0 2020)?

Doctor Who: Revelation of the Daleks (part two)
You know, that hung together better than I remembered it. Alexei Sayle's still the best thing about it, and it would have been a whole lot more wonderful with more of him blowing up Daleks with his concentrated beam of rock and roll, but I think it gelled for me a bit more this time, for some reason. Sayle's sonic cannon was, of course, our son's favorite part of the story. His eyes lit up and he had the biggest smile you can imagine on his face when that first Dalek exploded.
Actually, one reason I enjoyed this more than I have previously is that I used to really, really loathe a character played by Jenny Tomasin, and thought the actress did a rotten job. I was wrong. Her character is a really tough one for an actor to play; she's meant to be much more pathetic than endearing, and foolishly duped by everybody around her. But apart from one snickeringly bad line reading in part one when she bellows "Find the intruders!" I think Tomasin played this role extremely well, which can't have been easy when you've got an amazing actor like Clive Swift literally brushing you aside. I may have mentioned before that my time talking with and observing the actors at the Children's Museum of Atlanta gave me a newfound understanding of what actors have to do to make their characters work at all. I'm always glad of the opportunity to reconsider the opinions I held when I was even more stupid than I am now.
But right behind Sayle, there's William Gaunt underplaying his role of a disgraced assassin from a noble order, and Eleanor Bron, who's magical in anything. I love how Gaunt's character acts like he is in complete control of the situation in Davros's lab, and responds to any obstacle without taking an extra breath, just communicating with his eyes and piercing stares. And Colin Baker and Terry Molloy get one of the better Doctor-Davros arguments – easily the first good one since "Genesis," honestly – as they debate Davros's latest sick scheme.
We won't wait fifteen months until starting the next season of Doctor Who like us poor folk had to do in the eighties… in fact, we'll be back for more adventures in time and space in about eleven days. But first, something else, like the other two shows that we're watching, that I've never seen before… stay tuned!

I've never really enjoyed "Revelation of the Daleks," which brings this disappointing season to an end, but I do enjoy just how weird it is. I mean, this is an extraordinarily weird 45 minutes. It barely has the Doctor or the Daleks in it. It's mainly a bunch of Eric Saward characters alternately yelling at each other or mumbling underneath the incidental music, having their own adventure that doesn't concern the Doctor at all. Parts of the story are sort of narrated by the wonderful comedian Alexei Sayle, playing an oddball DJ piping music and long-distance dedications to a city full of stiffs in suspended animation. I could have done with a whole lot more Alexei Sayle and a whole lot less of desperate double-acts arguing with each other.
Sayle's role prompted me to pause, because it occurred to me that once again our son has no frame of reference for something I took for granted. We never listen to radio, so the world of Wolfman Jack or Casey Kasem is another planet he's never heard of. They still have DJs on some stations, I think, but I'm at work when the local NPR / college radio hybrid gets to play music – Chattanooga is woefully short a WUOG or WSBF or WREK – so he doesn't even get to hear college kids, never mind celebrities.
And of course, he didn't recognize William Gaunt from The Champions as an assassin called Orcini. Say what you will about this weird story, it's got a terrific cast that also includes Eleanor Bron and Clive Swift, who underplays the role of the funeral director amazingly well and is so entertaining. Terry Molloy is back as Davros, making him the first actor to play the role twice, and the story is directed by Graeme Harper, who had made the previous year's "Caves of Androzani" look so good. He can't save this one, but he fills it full of moments that are at least interesting. Next time, the Doctor will actually have something to do and I recall it becomes considerably more ordinary.
Doctor Who: The Caves of Androzani (parts three and four)
I enjoy watching old Doctor Who in a vacuum, with my family not knowing what to expect, like the Doctor regenerating. It makes for some fun surprises. Our son was particularly blindsided, and says that he'll miss this Doctor.
Me, I say there definitely should have been another way. Peter Davison has never been shy about expressing his frustrations making the show. He loved being the Doctor, but the experience of actually working on this show, particularly in his delay-plagued second season, was too frustrating to continue. Davison said that Patrick Troughton had advised him to not stay for more than three years up front, and I still think Troughton should've zipped it. Particularly with the original version of "Resurrection of the Daleks" canceled and the producer's very disagreeable decision to give Colin Baker one story at the end of this season, Davison was already down eight episodes that he should have been able to make – ten if you count K-9 and Company, which was made with season nineteen's budget. We should have had more.
I'll come back to that "disagreeable decision" when we start watching the Sixth Doctor next month, but speaking of "Resurrection," this is the second story this season where darn near every person in the thing dies. The only ones to make it out in one piece are Peri, the evil Miss ("Krau") Timmin on the other planet, and that dude in part one who doesn't have any lines but is seen on his way to blow up the North Core Copper Mines, and he was probably arrested in the sweep of Morgus's businesses and sentenced to death. Unlike "Resurrection," all these creeps had it coming. A great character actor named John Normington plays Morgus, and I just love his asides directly to the camera. These are meant to be very theatrical, but it's almost like Morgus knows that we're watching him!
Roy Holder, who had been Chas in the third series of Ace of Wands twelve years earlier, is one of the gun runners. I mentioned earlier the fun of watching the show with my family, who don't know what to expect. Holder's character is one of two who decide against joining their boss and Morgus in their last, desperate search for more of the rare McGuffin element. They say they have two kilos and that's more than enough. So Morgus and their boss leave them to it. Marie quietly told our son "I think he made the sensible decision." I smiled, knowing that "sensible" decision was seconds away from ending his life.
"Caves" is excellent, but it's also so unpleasant that I can't believe that Peri would have chosen to stick around had this been her first trip after "Planet of Fire." Would you? I'd be saying "Take me home immediately" after this – particularly when the guy with whom I agreed to travel about a day previously sat up looking like Colin Baker and got snide with me – unless I'd spent a few weeks with less traumatic events first. So there are several novels and more than a dozen audio adventures with Peter Davison and Nicola Bryant, several of which also feature an additional companion from ancient Egypt called Erimem.
I don't actually enjoy the audio adventures myself – I think that my problem is that I lack the imagination to see the worlds that they're describing – but I love that there are so many to choose from for all the fans who enjoy them. The same is true for the next two Doctors, who also had their BBC runs truncated before they should have ended. At least Peter Davison got to end his Doctor's TV run on a really high note, and got to leave when he was ready to go.
We'll start watching Colin Baker's run as Doctor Who in mid-February. Stay tuned!

Doctor Who: The Caves of Androzani (parts one and two)
Ask a hundred people which is their favorite Peter Davison Doctor Who story. Five will say "Kinda." I'm one of the five who'll say "Snakedance." The other ninety will say it's this one. Less the stragglers who'll eventually pop in the comments and protest that it's something else, of course.
"The Caves of Androzani" really is blisteringly good. It's the first of two adventures in the eighties that Graeme Harper directed, and wow, did he ever know what he was doing. This looks amazing, and the great music by Roger Limb helps a lot, too. The direction is so good that Harper could have made even a mediocre story into a highlight, but this story isn't mediocre. It's the first Doctor Who script by Robert Holmes in five years. Man, was he ever missed.
"Androzani" features some of Holmes's effortless world-building, but this one's a little different from the planets and cultures he'd designed in the past. There is no wit, and there aren't any heroes. We only see the horrible people: an army of brutal military thugs, the corrupt politicians and businessmen bankrolling them, a team of bloodthirsty gun runners, and the criminal who controls the rare substance they all want: spectrox, which can extend or even double the life spans of humanoids. They are all terrible. And they are all going to get what's coming to them.
A lot of people will tell you that this story is perfect except for a dopey, fake, and honestly quite unnecessary monster in the middle of it. Typically, the monster – it's called a Magma Beast – is by far our son's favorite part of it. Since he likes good guys and never villains, there isn't anybody in this story, other than the Doctor and Peri, for him to cheer on. So the Magma Beast is perfectly placed to keep his interest!

10 Comics to Watch
Jennifer July 26, 2009
Aubrey Plaza – The 'Parks and Rec' intern perfected craft online master of the above-it-all annoyed-teenager look, Aubrey Plaza found a way to take her disgruntled millennial girl routine to primetime in the NBC sitcom "Parks and Recreation." It's a character type the improv-oriented comedian first honed on the Web series "The Jeannie Tate Show," where she plays the troubled stepdaughter to the show's titular soccer mom, developing it even further on a trashy MTV-style dating show satire she wrote and directed. "I am not sick of roles as the angry teenager; I could be one for the rest of my life," quips Plaza, who explains, "I have a younger sister who I draw a lot of inspiration from."
Sure enough, Plaza jumped at another droll adolescent role opposite Michael Cera in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." And though the acting attention is heating up, Plaza still considers herself a student of the form. She spent the 2004-05 season interning on the set of "Saturday Night Live," being a wallflower while quietly observing the pros in action. "People on 'SNL' remarked how quiet I was and were shocked to learn that I was in comedy," she reports.
And although she studied improv with the Upright Citizens Brigade, Plaza decided to branch into standup after landing the role of Seth Rogen's girlfriend in "Funny People." Director Judd Apatow wanted an actual standup for the part, so Plaza made a point to film herself onstage at a comedy club in Queens.
Plaza's early material has been dark and rebellious, reminiscent of those grunge comediennes who came before her, such as Janeane Garofalo and Sarah Silverman (in fact, she does a killer impression of the latter's potty-mouthed persona). "My sense of humor is a little strange," Plaza admits. "I have to remind myself that if I think it's funny, then I shouldn't worry about others getting it." P.O.V. "My purse is so heavy that when I put it on the passenger seat of the car while I am driving, the airbag light goes on because it thinks there's a person there."

Modernizing some of the more creaky processes at the FCC is one goal at the next open commission meeting.
On Sept. 17, the commission plans to consider a Report and Order modernizing its contest rules. Currently, broadcasters are required to disclose terms of any contest through periodic over-the-air announcements, a requirement adopted in 1976 that many feel is outdated.
The current rule requires broadcasters conducting a contest to disclose the terms of the contest by airing them a reasonable number of times. Instead, the 2015 Report and Order proposes that broadcasters have the option to disclose the terms of contests on a publicly accessible website. This would allow interested listeners to review the contest rules at their convenience and ease the burden imposed on broadcasters, bringing "broadcasters some common-sense regulatory relief," Berry said.
The NPRM proposes that contest rules can be posted on any publicly accessible Web site, and then broadcasters can announce that Web address on air. Still to be answered are questions regarding how often this Web address must be aired.
In February, the NAB weighed in on the issue, saying that it was in favor of modernizing its licensee-conducted contest rules, but asked that the FCC refrain from dictating where the rules should be listed on a station's website or requiring licensees to announce the direct website address every time the contest is mentioned.
The meeting will be held at 10:30 a.m. at the FCC and broadcast on www.fcc.gov/live.


How many surveys have you completed this year? Chances are you have already participated in several reviews and customer satisfaction surveys. The real question is how many surveys we complete actually matter? In today's big data world, businesses need to gather data and understand customer behavior in order to gain a strategic advantage or identify new business opportunities. Requests to participate in customer satisfaction surveys, guest surveys after returning from a domestic or international travel, or surveys to evaluate your recent dentist's visit have become a part of life. The average consumer seems to be bombarded with a lot of "tell us how we did/tell us about your visit" surveys and requests for feedback. Researchers try to strike the right balance between gathering the right amount of information while being mindful of survey fatigue which can lead to low response rates. Rightfully so.
If you are interested in a survey that matters, a survey that offers a comprehensive nationwide perspective of state procurement practices, look no more! NASPO has the best vantage point to provide insight into how various state central procurement offices handle the procurement of goods and services across the country and infer valuable trends. NASPO's Survey of State Procurement Practices is a comprehensive data collection, and the longest running survey for the association.


Demand from retail service providers for IPv6 services on the National Broadband Network (NBN) has been low, according to Tom Sykes from NBN Co.
The government-owned company has implemented IPv6 capability for Internet data services, but it is still looking into IPv6 for UNI-V voice connections and multicasting for video content.
"It's safe to say we haven't had a strong demand from RSPs for that because most RSPs today, when they deploy UNI-V, they're using private IP addresses … even the very large providers using UNI-V haven't requested this in the short-term," Sykes, manager -- customer solutions group at NBN Co, told Computerworld Australia.
IPv6 provides around 340 undecillion IP addresses, compared to 4 billion addresses under IPv4. As the number of Internet-connected devices has grown, exhaustion of IPv4 addresses has necessitated the adoption of IPv6.
A shortage of IPv4 addresses has been problematic for at least one RSP looking to sign up customers on the NBN. Victorian co-operative No ISP has struggled to sign up customers to the NBN due to a shortage of available IPv4 addresses.
Eventually the City of Melbourne came to the rescue, with the council agreeing to lease a number of IP addresses to the co-op for three years.
One year after World IPv6 Launch Day, Australia continues to lag behind other countries in IPv6 uptake.
Sykes said one of the problems with IPv6 uptake is providers don't have a sense of urgency around the transition because there are band-aid measures, such as carrier-grade NAT, that can be used to defer the switchover.
"Another reason is that many of the ISPs have got a stash of IPv4 addresses that they can use. So there's probably a few factors there," Sykes said.
NBN Co announced IPv6 compatibility for data services on the NBN around 18 months ago. To make the transition, NBN Co modified its signal equipment to RSPs.
Sykes said he was unable to say how much NBN Co has spent on making equipment IPv6 compatible as the cost would have been rolled into total vendor requests.
Sykes said so far the main focus for NBN Co has been on IPv6 compatibility for data services on the NBN, with challenges for NBN Co implementing IPv6 for multicasting, including a lack of standards.
Another challenge is there is no other wholesaler in the world offering the new Internet protocol on multicast, according to Sykes.
"We're certainly happy to take references from other deployments and we talk to other carriers all the time, but I guess from our perspective there just hasn't been a strong demand because most customers at the moment [base] their strategies around using IPv6 for data services," he said.
So far Internode is the only RSP to offer IPv6 services on the NBN. The RSP runs dual stack services, offering both the newer and older standards, with IPv6 for new customers and the ability to opt-in for existing customers.
NBN Co will be releasing new business plans at the end of this year for medium sized businesses.
The new business plans will provide symmetrical services and traffic classes to allow businesses to provision different applications.
NBN Co plans to release an enterprise Ethernet product in 2015.
It released its first business plan in September last year to allow businesses to run up to 50 voice services and a one-hour response time to incidents.
Sykes said small businesses are already signing up for the product. However, he conceded there are challenges associated with businesses transitioning to the NBN.
Sykes said businesses need to carefully examine their migration strategy and look at the types of applications they would use and how they could be best utilised on the NBN.
"The challenge is, now you've got this bandwidth available to you, how do you make the most use of that [and] how do you perhaps get a new video conferencing system that can make use some of these higher bandwidths?" Sykes said.
As the NBN rolls out into areas with more commercial precincts, demand for the medium business product will increase, according to Sykes.
He believes the biggest impact of the NBN for businesses will be the ubiquity it offers to connect offices in several different locations around the country on the same high-speed network.
For example, a company's head office typically has a fast broadband connection, but other branches might have slower connections.
"What that means then is that they can use the upload speed of the NBN in particular to start deploying applications in the cloud," Sykes said.

Understanding acoustic emission for different metal cutting machinery and operations
Chetan P. Nikhare, Chris Conklin, David R. Loker
School of Engineering (Behrend)
Machining is one of the major manufacturing techniques where the material is removed to prepare the complete or sub-part. In general, this is also referred to as subtractive manufacturing. Due to solid-to-solid contact between the cutting tool and the work-piece, the machine dynamics get influenced by various operating parameters. This generates force and vibration, and thus noise. Over time the cutting tool reaches its end-of-life which increases the force to cut, and thus produces more vibration and noise. The noise parameter was considered in this work. A 32-element spherical microphone array acoustic camera system was used to record and analyze the sound that was emitted during the machining processes. The startup, idle, and load operating characteristics for various industrial machining equipment were monitored with the acoustic beam former microphone system. The industrial applications included a bench grinder, surface grinder, vertical band saw, lathe machine, and vertical milling machine. Analysis of the acoustic noise generated from these processes could demonstrate the similarities between the cyclical patterns of resonating sound.

I mentioned looking for "short" pages as part of my on-going and long overdue site cleanup. As I explained at that link, I used a script to help me run through those files and made a first pass at the worst offenders with a weeks worth of work.
I then created a new list, again sorted by size and started going through it again. This was, of course, excruciatingly boring because I had looked at most of these at least once. I needed to look at them again because my first pass was deliberately quick and aimed at cleaning up obviously unneeded pages; I needed to go back to make final decisions, combine appropriate pages and so on. However, the tedium was hard to take.
My first thought was to simply grab random pages. That works, but it has some disadvantages - repetition of already seen pages, yes, but also that it was too random - I really need to concentrate on the shorter pages.
Aaargh. What to do? I wanted an "unsort", obviously, but I wanted it to be biased.
Un-sorting plainly will rely on random numbers. We've talked about bias in randomness before and it's fairly easy to introduce accidental bias, too.
Let's start by looking at how you might "unsort" a file. I'll use Perl.
There's something else interesting about this code: unlike the other examples, it doesn't use any memory to store the file to be scrambled - it's RSS (Resident Set Size) will be constant no matter how much data you give it.
The larger $DIVISOR, the more bias - unless the file is smaller than $DIVISOR.
That should always produce the same number as you used in the brace expansion - "20" in the example given. This checks for both missing lines and any duplicated lines.
If all you need is an unsort, use one of the Perl examples or download this C++ code. It comples easily on Linux (no makefile, just "gcc -std=c99 -O2 -Wall unsort-1.0.c -o unsort"), though unfortunately not on Mac OS X due to missing "getline".
While of limited use, this code is interesting and was fun to play with. Now it's time to get back to the site cleanup!

Happened to my XR 6 mths after getting it. Fortunately in the garage . Spewed fuel everywhere. As it was still under warranty BMW collected and eventually replaced a cheap pipe clip under the tank which had failed. That was Williams in Manchester. I had read about several others having had this problem but BMW made no admissions of fault and never did a recall to replace the sub standard clips.
Lane 3 on the M6 is not a good place for it to happen. Thankfully your OK.

When Jaguar revealed it would build the F-Pace Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), men in flat caps and string-back driving gloves nearly choked on foaming pints of real ale on hearing the news at the local Jaguar owner's club meeting.
They protested that any car maker that can count the E-Type, often held aloft as the world's most beautiful sports car, on its CV must be taking leave of its senses to make an SUV.
Thankfully, nobody listened to them. After its introduction in early 2015, the F-Pace went on to become the fastest-selling Jaguar in history. In fact, some say it saved the company.
The formula for the F-Pace seems simple. Take the mould that created the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and even the Volvo XC60, and rework it to come up with a Jaguar version.
However, that's more difficult than it sounds. For example, in America, for a new car to be officially classed as an SUV it must conform to certain regulated dimensions. It's one reason so many people grumble that modern cars look much the same.
So it's no mean feat that the F-Pace looks distinct. It's a handsome thing, with a classy vibe that's a cut above the German competitors, and up there with the latest Volvo XC60 for feel-good factor.
The range is priced from around £36,500, for a Prestige 2.0d (163PS) to nearly £75,000 for the fire-breathing F-Pace SVR. Some models come with rear-wheel drive, others with what Jaguar calls all-wheel drive – four-wheel drive to the rest of us.
Most customers pick the 2.0d (180) AWD R-Sport, which costs just over £43,000. Bear in mind that its CO2 emissions of 157g/km mean it attracts road tax of £515 in the first year and then £450 a year for the next five years.
The interior is minimal, with a large touchscreen system for most controls, but the software is a generation behind the slick and intuitive menus now used by Mercedes and BMW, The rotary dial for the gearbox rises majestically from between the front seats.
It boasts space for five adults and a class-leading boot space of 650-litres. If you regularly carry lots of luggage or pets, this is a good 100 litres larger than competitors' boots.
Some owners recognise these problems and have complained to Jaguar; others say they're entirely satisfied and have experienced no such issues.
Either way, the F-Pace is for the most part a very good family SUV that brings a style of its own to a popular part of the car market.

Garage sale to feature Burroughs memorabilia
By Dave Ranney
The last time she counted, Patricia Elliott Marvin had about 30 boxes of books, posters, drawings and other assorted leftovers from the Beat Generation.
"I want to get down (to) two boxes," Marvin said Thursday while sorting through a pile of William S. Burroughs paperbacks, many of them signed by her good friend, the author.
"I need to simplify my life," she said.
Marvin, 56, is having a Beat Generation garage sale Saturday in her home at 810 E. 13th St.
"The art will be in the front room, the books will be in the dining room," she said. "The cookbooks -- I have about 800 of them -- will be in the back library."
Marvin met and befriended Burroughs in 1978 in Austin, Texas. "I liked him right away," she said.
They remained close confidants until Burroughs' death in Lawrence in 1997. He was 83.
Burroughs, best known for his experimental novel "The Naked Lunch," and his influence on writers Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, settled in Lawrence in 1981.
"I think Lawrence restored his soul," Marvin said.
Sale items include:
¢ A short stack of programs from the River City Reunion, an event that brought the best of the Beats to Lawrence in 1987.
¢ Signed copies of Burroughs' "The Place of Dead Roads," "The Wild Boys: A Book of the Dead," "Tornado Alley," "Queer," "The Western Lands" and "Letters to Allen Ginsberg."
¢ A Carl Apfelschnitt poster commemorating Burroughs' 70th birthday in New York, signed by Burroughs and Apfelschnitt.

Patricia Elliott Marvin is having a garage sale that will feature books and memorabilia of Beat writer and late Lawrence resident William S. Burroughs. Marvin, an acquaintance of Burroughs, has several signed items, including a metal sculpture created by Burroughs and David Bradshaw that was riddled with bullet holes by Burroughs.
¢ A complete set of "City Moons," a Lawrence-area underground newspaper from the late 1960s.
¢ A letter to Marvin from Burroughs, explaining how to care for his cats while he was away.
¢ A collection of art prints and small-press publications from Lawrence, 1968 to the present.
¢ Black-and-white drawings by risque underground comic artist S. Clay Wilson.
¢ Dozens of Burroughs T-shirts.
"These are the only T-shirts authorized by Burroughs that bear his image," said Marian O'Dwyer, former owner of the Phoenix Gallery who's helping Marvin.
So far, Marvin said, she's not had second thoughts about parting with so many prized possessions.
"I know this is going to sound weird, but I finally figured out why I am doing this," Marvin said. "It's because I miss (Burroughs). I have all this stuff, sitting dead in a box. That's not where it belongs. It's alive, it ought to be with people who will appreciate it, who will read it. I want them to have it."
The sale starts a 9 a.m. No early callers will be allowed.
Marvin said she expected the sale to turn into a mini-reunion of Burroughs alumni.
"I'm hoping it will be an event," she said, "and not just a sale."

Q: Change order of object properties based on array with indices (JavaScript) I've been really struggling with this piece of code.
I have an object that goes like:
var obj = {
    Name: 'Test',
    Id: 1,
    Address: 'addr'
}

And an array that goes like:
var arr = [1,0,2];

I want the properties of the object to be sorted with the indices given in the second one.
The result should then be something like:
var obj = {
    Id: 1,
    Name: 'Test',
    Address: 'addr'
}

I'm really looking forward to your replies.

A: You cannot reliably set the order of the properties in an object. You will need to rethink your approach to this problem so that the order is handled by an array, not an object. The array can then be used to write code that accesses properties in a specific order, even though the object doesn't actually have them in that order.
For example:

const columns = ['Id', 'Name', 'Address'];

const data = [{
  Name: 'Test',
  Id: 1,
  Address: 'addr'
}, {
  Address: 'addr2',
  Id: 1,
  Name: 'Test2',
}];

let csv = columns.join(',') + '\n';
data.forEach(obj => {
  const row = columns.map(propertyName => {
    return obj[propertyName];
  });
  csv = csv + row.join(',') + '\n'
})

console.log(csv);

Martha Adams shares her proven wealth-building techniques with the world on ET 9@9
Episode 45 • 30th November 2021 • Expert Talk with TGo • Theresa Goss
Hey, everybody. Welcome to the show. You know, where you are, the 9@9 with me TGo. And as always at every show, I bring an expert and every expert is special, but today's super special. One because she's a friend of mine, Martha Adams, on top of that, she's a finance expert and we're in November. So we're coming up to the end of the year.
Did you hit your financial goals that you even understand them were great to start a new year? And we wanted to add a touch with wife and say, Hey, what should we be doing? What pieces I was missing? Martha are you out there? I'm right here. It's so good to see you. Thank you for having me. It's so good to have you here.
And before we get started, you know, everybody's going, Hey, that's Cleopatra. Yes, you are that bestselling author. We're going to throw the book up there in a minute, but you're that best selling author. And everybody knows you from Cleopatra's Riches and all of that. Can you start by telling us how you managed to write that book? Why you wrote that book?
Well, my why really was making the financial conversation accessible, approachable, and applicable to more people. That's exactly what I did in my boardroom as an independent wealth manager. And so I wanted to make my boardroom accessible to more people. And that's exactly why I wrote Cleopatra's riches so that we could connect to a different, a more meaningful conversation around riches in our lives.
Okay. So yes, for years you were working with corporations, probably all over the world. I can imagine. I can see you in the boardroom, having people just leaning forward in their chairs, going, oh my God, she's talking to me. What made you decide to change that path? Cause you could have done that. And you're very successful.
What made you say, you know what? I'm missing a mass audience that needs this information. Why did you take that risk and step out and do that? You know, I, you bring up a really good point. I was very comfortable in my boardroom. That was, it became a very safe space for me, but I recognized that it wasn't about me.
It wasn't about me. It was through me. And so it then became my responsibility, a beautiful responsibility to make a difference. And that's why I left the comfort of my boardroom to bring this conversation to more people. And a lot of people are watching this. Some people are starting their entrepreneurial journey. Some have been doing this for quite some time.
They've gotten into their comfort zone. They're happy. They know they can do this or do that. And they're going to, and maybe they have family. Maybe they have kids. You're a Mom. You took that risk. What would you say to someone else who says, I know I could be serving a much bigger audience. I'm just scared to step out there.
What would you tell them? I think there's a difference between being scared and being afraid. You know, being scared is what can be a fleeting feeling, right? It's temporary fear is something that is more concrete. It then controls our thoughts and our actions. So when you have that feeling of, of being scared, embrace it, understand it, understand where it's coming from and that's,
what's going to allow you to break through it with action. Fear is something very different. So being scared is okay because it's, it's just it's for that little bit. And then you're going to be able to break through it with action, prove something different to yourself. That's, that's what I believe in. And that's what I try to practice every day.
So you're a certified financial planner. We know that. And there's a lot of people out there that are in your field, but you're focused on the missing piece, that missing piece and find it. What is the missing piece other than, you know, TGo needs more money in our pockets. We're not talking about that today. What is the missing piece in finance that you're focused on?
Well, the missing piece is really in our own human experience around money is when we talk about money. We're often talking about our financial literacy in the way that we understand managing our money and the different aspects of it. That's what we've been taught. But if that makes a human experience, right, it's something that we've seen an experience to all our lives.
So if you think about any life event of yours, bringing up on the screen of your mind, anything that immediately comes up on, on the screen of your mind, whether it is, you know, a small life event, medium, large, and, and its significance, chances are money. Was there, it played a role in some way,
shape or form. And with that came your emotional associations. And so when we simply focus on financial literacy, we really are removing the most important piece, right? Which has become the missing piece, which are really is our emotional intelligence around money in our life. When we include that, we bring ourselves back into the conversation. Okay. So speaking of all,
back into the conversation, you know of everybody, you guys know me, I keep it real. So my parents literally were sharecroppers when they were kids. Okay. They were labor workers, their entire lives. So they didn't even trust banks. You know, my father trust the cookie jar, Morty trusted a bank. So how did you get break away from generations of being told,
oh no, you don't want to invest. You don't want to worry about financial plan, just live paycheck to paycheck and you'll be okay. How do you break your mindset of going no, no, no, no, no, no. There's gotta be a better way. That's such a great question because we can do that using one word, empathy,
empathy for yourself and for the characters in your story. Now that comes to understanding. So you want to understand where the messages that you received came from and right where their messaging came from. So when your father was sharing that with you, how were his emotional associations built? Now, when you understand that when you have empathy for yourself and you have empathy for the characters in your story,
you can now invoke the most powerful idea, right? Which is your power of choice. So now you can choose what serves you and perhaps release then what doesn't. And you can do that with gratitude, for what you've learned in the process. This is how you change the game. Wow. Now I've got to ask, you know, I always ask this question,
is that ever too soon? Is it ever too late? You know, how can you, are you too young or too old? What's the perfect age? Or is there one or learning? You know, finance? Yeah. The perfect time is now. The perfect time is now. Start the conversation because it belongs to you once you've started it. All you've got to do is continue.
It, it doesn't matter the age. It doesn't matter. The life circumstance. What matters is your choice. Okay. Okay. I get that. Al Allen's already put up the two minute warning. It's like, I know he's cutting us short. I know he is. But before we run out of time and he cuts us off for people that are out there driving or walking,
listening to this, how do they find you? If you go to www.MarthaAdams,Media.com, get take you right to my site. A lot of free resources there. I'd love to see you visit. And you're coming to Vegas. This is my hometown. You're coming to Vegas in a few weeks, right? You're going to be here with Bill Walsh.
What's that about? I am. I will be at his Ultimate Wealth Camp, December 12th to 14th. I, there are, I believe still a few seats available. So if you look up Ultimate Wealth Camp, I'd love to invite you to look into tickets for that, an incredible lineup at that event. Wow. I can't wait to see you. We'll be there.
We'll be screaming. Martha Martha in the audience. I'm so happy. You could take out, could take out time for this interview because I know how super busy you are. And I appreciate it. I hope you'll come back soon because we just got started talking about finance. We did get started and I would be honored to continue the conversation TGo. Thank you so much for having me.
Thanks for being here. You guys go to MarthaAdamsMedia.com to find out more information. She's the motivator... Really Allen? She's a motivational speaker, an author, she's a financial certified financial planner. And she's super cool. I would tell you the nickname we have for what I promised. I wouldn't do that on the air I hope you enjoyed this episode. I hope you'll come back next time.
And as always I'm TGo, I'll talk to you next time. Really Allen? Really?

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a.k.a. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the illegal alien, five-time deportee, and seven-time convicted felon who killed 32-year-old American Kate Steinle in July 2015, was sentenced to time served on Friday after being convicted in November of possession of a firearm by a felon.
The illegal immigrant charged with felony possession of a firearm instead of the murder of Kate Steinle is now seeking to have his felony possession charges thrown out.
A federal grand jury on Wednesday indicted the illegal alien who was acquitted in a California court of the murder of 32-year-old Kate Steinle.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called for Congress to act to secure America's borders in a Friday morning response to Thursday's "not guilty" verdict against an illegal alien in the Kate Steinle murder case.
Americans whose loved ones have been killed by illegal aliens expressed devastation on Thursday after illegal alien Jose Garcia Zarate was found not guilty of murdering 32-year-old Kate Steinle.
As the nation absorbs the shocking verdict, one fact remains true: were San Francisco not a "sanctuary city," Kate Steinle would likely still be alive today.
A jury found seven-time felon, five times deported illegal alien Jose Garcia Zarate not guilty in the case of the 2015 murder of Kate Steinle Thursday evening.
Attorney Matt Gonzalez suggests blame for Kathy Steinle's death rests with SIG Sauer handguns, not felon Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions made an appearance at Monday's White House press briefing to warn sanctuary jurisdictions in the country that they could lose their portion of $4.1 billion in grants from the Department of Justice if they continue to protect murderers, child rapists, and drug traffickers illegally present in the United States.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has just announced a new campaign to support illegal aliens in his city. The announcement comes one week after a federal judge poured out the Kathryn Steinle family in the lawsuit against the city of San Francisco.
Dangerous criminal alien Bac Duong turned himself into authorities on Friday, just a week after he and two other violent criminals escaped from an Orange County Jail. The other two remain at large.
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has lost his bid for re-election after he emerged as a symbol of the city's broken "sanctuary city" policies–and general incompetence.
Donald Trump is being given credit for a new L.A. County policy that lets federal agents "interview [jail] inmates who have committed serious crimes" to gauge if they need to be deported.
Jeh Johnson laid into sanctuary city policies that actively hinder the efforts of immigration officials to enforce U.S. law in the wake of the July shooting death of Kate Steinle in San Francisco.
We live in a cruel, dangerous world riddled with crime. That's the hard reality. But certainly, elected officials could move decisively if they wanted to against "Sanctuary Cities" and the dangerous criminal aliens who fly under the law.
The family of Kathryn Steinle — the woman whose shooting death sparked a national outcry over illegal immigrant crime — is filing a lawsuit against local and federal officials over her murder, according to reports.
On August 28 the Contra Costa Times reported that an expert testifying in Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez's preliminary hearing says the bullet that struck and killed Kathryn Steinle on San Francisco's Pier 14 actually ricocheted off the pier "90 to 95 feet" before hitting her.
San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi's driver license has been suspended for failing to report a traffic accident that he was involved in last October.

What is Case Law & Why is it Important?
Case Law is a primary source of law.
Primary sources of law include: case law, statutes, constitutions, rules and regulations.
Case Law is created by the Judicial Branch. Statutes and Constitutions are created by the Legislative Branch. Rules and Regulations are created by the Executive Branch.
Case law, also known as common law, is the body of law created by judicial decisions.
The United States' common law judicial system adheres to the doctrine of stare decisis, which requires judges to follow the legal precedent established in previous cases. Therefore, in order to determine what the law is regarding a particular point of law, it is crucial to be able to locate previous controlling and relevant case decisions.
Key Numbers are unique to products published by West. They represent a specific subtopic within an area of law. They are uniform throughout all West Publications, and are therefore very useful in finding primary and secondary resources on the point of law you are researching.

A case citation is a reference to the location of a case in a reporter (a multi-volume set of books).
Muscarello v. United States, 524 U.S. 125 (1998).
The case above (Muscarello v. United States) can be found in Volume 524 of United States Reports on Page 125. This case was decided in 1998.
Muscarello v. United States, 524 U.S. 125, 118 S.Ct. 1911, 141 L. Ed. 2d 111 (1998).

The full text of case opinions can be found in multi-volume sets of books called reporters. Lexis and West publish unofficial reporters. These reporters contain editorial enhancements, however, the case opinions are the same as the ones published in the official reporters. In some jurisdictions, there is no official reporter (e.g., Federal Supplement & Federal Reporter).
The Reporter page details: which cases are reported in each reporter; which reporters are official; and the reporters' abbreviations.
For decades, the two major legal research databases have been Lexis (now Lexis Advance) & Westlaw . Recently Bloomberg, a long-time business research database, launched its own legal research database. Other lower cost legal research databases include Fast Case, Casemaker and Lois Law.
