Mediacom, stop messing with my packets!
Mediacom keeps getting worse and worse. As I've mentioned before. Mediacom is my ISP at home. Unfortunately, it's the only service of reasonable speed at a decent price available for my address.
Ahem. The same query from a non-mediacom machine returns the expected 404 page from LiveJournal. So, apparently Mediacom is doing deep packet inspection, and rewriting 404's under certain circumstances. The page that they redirect you to also has a pile of 'Sponsored Links' that are going to make them cash. Chances are this is all about the cash for them. They offer an opt-out, but who knows what else they are hijacking? This is just wrong and EVIL. For all I know, they could intercepting ads for Comcast or satellite TV and replacing them with their own. Or just about anything else, as long as money is involved.
After figuring out what they were doing, I found lots of other posts about this.. anyone else find this to be pathetic?
I have attempted to opt out of Mediacom's "assistance" several times and it seems I keep finding pages that they want to help me with, makes my blood boil. I've had several instances of URL's that work elsewhere falling victim to Mediacom's helper service.
On the bright side I saw some notes from the Savage City Council minutes that indicate Clear is installing antenna's in Savage so we may have a viable broadband alternative in 2010!
Pathetic. I at least have VPN's I can use to bypass, but still.. c'mon people!

"Hey! Watch where yer goin', droid!"
"Really, there was no need for that, sir. My sensors tell me you and your multi-limbed companion purposely deviated from your path."
―Rek and A-3DO —
Listen (file info)[src]
A-3DO, known colloquially as ThreeDee, was a Duwani Mechanical Products 3DO protocol/service droid, specializing in the maintenance of starships as well as performing myriad domestic functions. After being purchased by Jedi trainee Andur Sunrider, ThreeDee traveled with Sunrider, his wife Nomi, and their their daughter Vima, serving them and maintaining Andur's starship, the Lightside Explorer. The droid saw many mishaps on his adventures with the Sunriders, from being held hostage—in an event that saw the death of his owner, Andur—to having his arm blown off by mercenaries in the employ of Bogga the Hutt. After Andur's death, ThreeDee accompanied Nomi to the planet Ambria, where she trained in the ways of the Force under the Jedi Master Thon and repelled several more attacks by the Hutt's minions.
With the Sunriders Edit
"You've saved us, Ma'am! You were marvelous!"
―A-3DO —
A-3DO, a 3DO protocol/service droid, was manufactured by Duwani Mechanical Products, and was later purchased for 1,500 credits by the Jedi trainee Andur Sunrider of Darada.[1] The droid traveled with Sunrider and his wife Nomi in Andur's starship, the Lightside Explorer,[2] where his primary function was to keep the ship in working order. A-3DO performed several other functions, including the playing of music on a stringed instrument, but most often spent his time doting on the Sunriders and worrying about their safety when not maintaining the ship. The droid considered the Sunriders to be his family, and insisted upon being referred to in the more colloquial form, ThreeDee.[1]
When Andur received an invitation from the Jedi Master Chamma—a friend of Andur's grandfather, Jev Sunrider—to study the Force under him on the planet H'ratth, ThreeDee accompanied his masters. While on the planet, Nomi bore a daughter, Vima. Soon thereafter, Master Chamma decided that he could no longer instruct Andur in the the ways of the Jedi, and instructed his apprentice to travel to Ambria, in the Stenness system, where he would complete his training under the Tchuukthai Jedi Master, Thon. Chamma gave Andur several Adegan crystals—quite useful in the construction of lightsabers—to bring to his new master as gifts.[1] Before they could leave, however, A-3DO had to replace an ion exciter in order to render the Lightside Explorer's hyperdrive functional. Once again, A-3DO found himself traveling to another planet with the Sunriders.[2]
The Lightside Explorer arrived in the Stenness system, where it stopped at a hyperspace terminal for service and customs inspection. ThreeDee and the Sunriders left the ship to have a look around the station, but soon came under attack by thugs in Bogga the Hutt's gang, who had overheard Andur mentioning the Adegan crystals to Nomi; the brutes took the droid hostage as a diversion. When Andur confronted the gang members, one of them threw a gorm-worm at Andur; the small creature bit Sunrider, killing him almost instantly. Nomi, quite unexpectedly, took up her fallen husband's lightsaber, defending Vima and ThreeDee, and drove off the bandits, much to ThreeDee's gratitude. The trio quickly made their escape in the Lightside Explorer and set course for Ambria.[2]
Ambria Edit
"Mistress, if I trek with you across that dry waste, my joints will seize up. You'll have to abandon me to corrosion and metal-eating predators…a terrible fate for a droid."
Oss Wilum repairs ThreeDee.
Arriving on Ambria, Nomi decided to set forth on her own with Vima in search of Master Thon, leaving ThreeDee behind to look after the ship. A while later, A-3DO was surprised by Bogga the Hutt's mercenaries, who blasted their way into the Lightside Explorer. The Hutt gangster, who coveted the Adegan crystals, had decided to take his sail barge and gang to Ambria in pursuit of Nomi. ThreeDee's arm was blown off, and the ship ransacked.[2]
After yet another confrontation with Bogga's thugs at the home of Thon, whom she had finally located,[2] Nomi returned to the vessel with the Jedi Oss Wilum, another of Thon's students, and retrieved A-3DO. Wilum took it upon himself to repair the damage done to ThreeDee, but was delayed for several months due to a shortage of parts. Eventually Wilum completed his work on the droid—as well as his training under Thon—and left Ambria to join a group of Jedi Knights who were sent to help quell the Freedon Nadd Uprising on the planet Onderon.[3]
A-3DO remained with his mistress and Vima on Ambria as Nomi Sunrider continued her training under Master Thon, assisting her and helping to look after Vima. Eventually, more of Bogga's minions, this time led by a pirate named Finhead Stonebone, came in search of the Adegan crystals, but Nomi and Thon ultimately managed to drive them off, due primarily to Nomi's natural talent with battle meditation.[4]
Characteristics Edit
"Please watch what you're doing, Master Wilum! You are millimeters away from my most delicate servos!"
―A-3DO[src]
The droids of ThreeDee's time period required constant maintenance and recharging to remain functional. As a 3DO Protocol/Service Droid, A-3DO was possessed of a variety of skills, from programming to bureaucracy and cultures.[1] He served in more domestic functions, as well, such as serving the Sunriders with refreshments, looking after Vima, and playing a mandolin-like musical instrument.[2] Although he possessed some ability with languages, the droid could only produce sound in the range of Human speech, and had similar limitations with his auditory and visual sensors.[1]
The most important of ThreeDee's functions, however, was the maintenance of the Lightside Explorer. He sat in the copilot's seat,[5] communicating with the vessel's systems—such as the sensors, the navigation computer, and the hyperdrive—frequently, relating any pertinent information to the pilot.[2] In addition to his communication abilities, ThreeDee was built with advanced fine-motor circuitry and servos to facilitate ease of repair work. However, he possessed no knowledge of droid maintenance,[1] and was unable to repair himself, as was evidenced when Oss Wilum had to put ThreeDee back together following the attack by Bogga's henchmen.[3]
ThreeDee was a very doting and conscientious droid, frequently worrying about his safety, as well as that of his charges. On Ambria, he quickly sensed the danger of blowing sand, hinting to Nomi that perhaps he should not accompany her on her journey through the desert.[2] After being attacked, ThreeDee was particularly sensitive, asking Oss Wilum about his repairs, worried that he might be rendered inoperable.[3] However, the droid looked after Nomi and Vima, as well, alerting them to a path of escape during an attack by pirates.[4]
A-3DO was created by writer Tom Veitch for the comic series Tales of the Jedi, and appeared in all three issues of the sub-series The Saga of Nomi Sunrider. His role as the family droid was featured in the first issue ThreeDee appeared in,[2] but in the two subsequent issues his role was more cursory and supportive in nature.[3][4] The Tales of the Jedi Companion, a West End Games roleplaying game supplement written by George R. Strayton, gave ThreeDee's history and function considerably more depth.[1] The character of A-3DO was voiced by Chris Phillips in the HighBridge Audio adaptation of the comics.[6]

SHEZBETH'S REVIEW
10 minutes in and I can already tell he's on about alot of the things I'm on about. Im more accustomed to calling them "Ashkenazi" as opposed to "Khazarian mafia", but potato/potahto.
My biggest question so far is "okay, how far is he gonna take this?" I men, he says its to be a series, and by its introduction it will go hand in hand with the "History is a Lie" thread I have in the works (spoiler alert). Im especially glad that he focused on 1812 and (thereabouts) 1904, as those are two very significant beginnings and ends of things. That he also references as far back as the plague era (and especially the willful transmission of the plague, more on that in a sec) as this too will tie in.
I had semi-concluded that the plague was deliberate and artificial a long time ago, by way of the work of Dr, Phil Valentine, when he described the plague relief methods of the clergy. In the video "Vampires of Consciousness" he attributes the behaviors as being of stupidity, but I disagree, and I'm pleased this guy is attributing it to malice. In opposition to Hamlin's razor, I have felt that "Never dismiss as stupidity that which can be explained by malice" (versus the opposite). The reason being, when one's opponent is operating from malice, it is best to strongman their arguments and motivations, as the worst case scenario is that one is overprepared.
He's also neatly setting up the groundwork for the historical precedent that leads to the modern concept of "Rent", which is its self one of the modern forms of Usury.
Further, I appreciate his specificity. I wont use direct terms, but he neatly draws distinction between the "Khazarian mafia who decided to suddenly and lastingly claim (falsely) to be jews" versus the at the time extant jews. This is a hugely important distinction, and one of my biggest causes for contention when operating in circles who are wont to dismiss the whole of it as "its the jews" (likewise for masons, Luciferians, etc. ad nauseum). Its not ANY of the aforementioned groups, they have been coopted and compromised by bad actors throughout history.
In fact, all the said groups - in that they are fundamentally a social competence hierarchy - attract precisely the sort that are attributable to the Khazars/Ashkenazi, which display and over-representation with regards to a wont to socially subvert, vie for power and control of industry, etc.
And that also gets into why I'm preparing to do a deep dive into narcissists and narcissism, in the erstwhile Sociopathy thread. The reason being, I have a case to present that the Khazars/Ashkenazi are a unique grouping in that they have developed and cultivated a ethno-nationalistic form of Narcissism. It will take me a while to validate that position, so take it with salt for now. Also, to my post/vote in Inphinet Sociopaths. What amused me about that is that when I faced the vote, I immediately voted for myself exclusively, because I'm the only sociopath that I can testify to. In spite of this, Mr. Doodoo had already gained as many sociopath votes as I would result in, voting for myself. This suggests to me something I had gone back and forth with M.Doodoo about; that his actions were observably as - if not moreso - sociopathic as mine. I maintain, I DON'T think he's a sociopath, but it was still amusing to see the consensus, surpassed only by Rhi and Stephen.
Okay, credit. At this point, I can only make it a few minutes between having to pause to comment. This video is shaping up to be epic-tier. I say that because his "queering of the language" bit is not only readily evident in present day, but yet another thing I've been on about. I'll give a basic example NOT relating to his (so far) video. There are two concepts, misconstrued in socialized perception; that of nescience, and that of ignorance. The former is a term - now antiquated and lost to the majority - that refers to information that is otherwise unattainable or available due to a lack of awareness - without criticism - of the individual, or whoever. As an example: The Japanese Shogunate was nescient to the existence of all-metal warships until one was parked in their docks.
Additionally, he touches on inbreeding, which is huge. I'll avoid talking about humans specifically, and instead will focus on hamsters (credit to Sowelu for the folllowing). When Hamsters inbreed, there are observable sociological changes that occur. The inbred population will avoid the non-inbred population deliberately. Additionally, they become fiercely territorial, either with geographical control or smaller things like food and toys. So while non-inbred hamsters will tend to develop interactive communities where resources are shared, inbred hamsters effectively become hoarders. But that's in times of PLENTY. In times of PRIVATION, they will band together and BEGIN TO CANNIBALIZE the non-inbred hamsters. Food for thought, when contemplating what might happen with a deliberately inbreeding human population.
sidenote, this guy kinda reminds me of Andrew Klavan .
Okay, I have to criticize his covid spiel, in that the covid 19 viral pathogen STILL has yet to be isolated in a lab
Not saying he's wrong, just saying that its premature to make claims and assertions against covid until such a time as the virus or viral incubator is not apparent; meaning, there isn't evidence (beyond circumstantial) that it even EXISTS. I'm of no doubt that SOMETHING exists, but I have zero confidence in the widely professed "science-based" assertions of what Covid "is" and "does". I'm not saying he's wrong, but it looks like smoke and mirrors to me, and don't tell me that scientists havent had an overwhelmingly sufficient amount of time to derive at least ONE sample of isolated Covid. Sorry, not buying it.
And literally after I made that point, he makes precisely the same case ^_^
Based, he references Holodomor
Okay, I contest his point that "they dont have a sufficient virus that would kill millions", in that smallpox is still a viable threat. We dont see it as such, because it has been effectively mitigated, but that mitigation has lasted to the point that a very significant percent of the population has lost any immunity to smallpox that might be granted by cohabitation with those who have had it, AND that in the past decade the requisite stores of smallpox vaccines has been eliminated. Long story short, don't think they don't have viruses up their sleeve.
Excellent video overall, and I am reasonably confident that his professions will tie into what I plan to profess later on, once I've really gotten going.
But while I'm on, I'll also say that "narradigm" is kinda lame. I prefer something like "Socially-imposed propaganda"
And this gets into where they are going. Yes, they are attempting to redefine specific words, but the end result is literally the word 'definition'. The term definition has historically referred to the limits of an idea; derived from the latin "de finis" (somehow I think I mentioned this in MiM), a definition is an attempt to categorize and coalesce the limits of a concept into an actionable overview. If they can change how society interprets the limits of an idea, insisting on unrealistic allowances here and demanding unrealistic acknowledgements there, they can change how people literally formulate their thoughts. Language is exceedingly important; a native English speaker formulates their thoughts differently than a native Spanish speaker, for example. And the words that are used - and specifically how they translate to other languages - is a very strategic position that is under assault as we speak. Ergo, one thing I would prescribe to any who has the opportunity, is to do a deep dive on etymology of terms. Theres a wealth of perspective and knowledge to be gleaned from how previous generations formulated their thoughts and used those thoughts to express themselves.

SPECIAL SOLARI REPORT: RESET IN UKRAINE WITH KAREL VAN WOLFEREN
Karel van Wolfren is an author, journalist, professor, publisher and one of the most respected voices in the Netherlands on geopolitics. Last week I visited Karel for a wide ranging discussion on his views about events in the Ukraine and how they relate to the push for central control globally.
norman, Mar 15, 2022
(my own voice of reason, if I may be so bold )
The "elephant in the room" despite ALL the carry-on about Nation State power struggles and a shift of power from west to east, is that even when Trump had all the evidence of a stolen election, he packed up his bags left the stage.
In his rally speeches he keeps on saying "If I was President, Putin wouldn't do this, and Xi wouldn't do that etc . . etc . ."
Flip that over.
Try hearing those statements like THiS:
"We, the 'Save humanity white hats' have some dirty work to get done and it involves powers other than American power. With the mass mind control being what it is, and the expectation that a US president should and would stand in opposition to those foreign powers acting as they have to, The US doesn't, strategically, need a Trump at the visible helm right now ( looking weak ), it needs a weak impostor who can be shunted back out of the picture when these dirty jobs are done, and America and myself (Trump) can stand up proudly in a world where things are more sorted out"
It logically follows through, then, that Trump won't be back in the white house until that stage is done. Putin, and possibly others, have a clock ticking because ideally The US needs a fair election next time around. The pressure is on for a conclusion of this stage of operations before 2024 (Jan 25) at the latest.
I heard talk last year, that a patriot was privy to a group call which included Trump himself, where "negotiations" were mentioned. I can't place where I found that and don't know where to begin to locate it to include here now. The general sensational consensus at the time was that it was surrender negotiations with the cabal ( hah, a likely story ). Much more likely, is that it was negotiations with foreign powers about how to get this stage of operations done and who was going end up with what pieces of a pie, in political, economic and otherwise, terms.
We can think the worst, as many others are doing, and see all this as a Machiavellian nightmare of wholly inhuman power struggling. Dog-eat-dog to the death stuff, with not a genuine 'good guy' anywhere in sight, or we can flip it over and see it another way around. After decades of malevolent regional power base tinkering by a cabal controlled 'US corp' global goon squad', there's a shed load of correctional dirty work to be done.
An interesting point, about Afghanistan and especially the Taliban. Who were the first box to tick on the cabal list of targets/enemies when they pulled the 9/11 stunt to give them cover to go kick ass all over the world ? Yea, the Taliban. That suggests to me that they are not cabal puppets. History even tells us they are not. They whooped the Brits' asses for them way back long ago and I'll guess they've never changed their colours since. In a white hat/Black hat paradigm, I'd place the Taliban firmly and squarely on the white hat side. They've been kicking cabal ass since before any of the rest of us were even a twinkle in our mom's eyes.
I'll end this with a question, who's really running the show within China ?, from a 'white hat/black hat' perspective, that is . . .

starstarstarstarstar" Solved my problem "
I needed 21mm front bushings for a 97 Subaru Legacy with the 2.2 engine. After three months of looking, I was told to use these by a member of Subaru Legacy International. 3/8" needs to be removed from the bottoms but then they worked and fit perfectly. Along with the new sway bar, the handling is much tighter and confidence inspiring.\n\nThanks much!
The part worked great, fit like the oem part and eliminated any noise and play in sway bar. You guys saved me a ton of money, about half the money of the oe part, and everything fit perfect, thanks!

We live in at a time where our daily routine demands stretching our life to suit the socio-economic circumstances. In India, urban life has been a consolidation of 'busy life schedules' in which health always takes a back seat unless an individual is faced with serious ailments. When the urban aspiration spread to rural and semi-rural areas this neglect of health is almost universal.
Human body is an impressive biochemical, neurological, and spiritual piece of engineering. It often sends out signals/ symptoms either subtle or severe for us to act. Arguably, medical conditions that are prevalent today have either direct or indirect relation with life style of an individual and take effect gradually. Like the old story of frog in boiling water, we often realize that we are in trouble only when we face a grave clinical symptom. Identifying these early warnings can spell the difference between cure and fatality.
Given the economy of our country, and the limited access of general public to healthcare systems the cost of care is also a significant consideration. This is where a diagnostic centre plays a crucial role. Today's health checkup packages systems function in a partnership of patient, physician's team, hospitals and the diagnostic centres. Nuclear medicine is one of the most promising forms of modern medicine, combined with its diagnostic procedures. Pulse Group of Diagnostic Centres in Airoli have furthered the reach of common man to this advanced field of medicine.

Review: Rumble Vol. 1
When a young, aimless bartender receives a cryptic message in unfathomable ruins instead of a tip, he is soon made aware of a subculture of ancient monsters that exist right under our very noses. When his life is threatened by a number of these creatures a scarecrow with the soul of a warrior god-monster, wielding a huge, enchanted sword, comes to his rescue. From then the young man becomes an unwitting witness as the scarecrow embarks on a revenge/salvage mission as it hunts down the ones that stole away his physical vessel.
I first became aware of the artwork of James Harren with his output at Dark Horse comics. Initially on Conan, Harren knocked me for six with his brilliantly kinetic artwork; wonderfully detailed and stylistically original enough to catch your attention, his characters jumped out of the panels with energy in scenes that are animated even in instances of pure conversation.
So impressed was I that I decided I was going to follow him onto whatever books he would work on in the future, luckily for me he moved onto a book I already read and adored, B.P.R.D, where he got to draw scenes of bizarre Lovecraft style monster apocalypses, to my great pleasure.
This proved to be a double win for me because he was teamed up with John Arcudi, the unsung hero of the Mignola-verse and a very talented writer in his own right, a versatile creator whom I became a big fan of in the late 90s (I urge you to seek out his short-lived superhero parody series, Major Bummer, originally titled Captain Slackass but rescinded by DC for reasons of taste). The two complimented each others immensely; they must have thought so, anyway, because while producing adventures of the B.P.R.D they were also developing a creator owned series over at Image comics.
The conceit of Rumble means that both creators can indulge in what they enjoy most, in Harren's case monsters and action, and in Arcudi's case slacker humour and mythology building. The results are wonderful and quite as original in tone and narrative as the synopsis suggests.
Bobby, the central human character of the story, is an excellent foil for the larger than life action that plays out around him. He's the type of character that is hapless and aimless but doesn't really have a problem with that, his morals are in the right place, which sometimes causes him to act when he'd rather not, but he has no special need to get dragged into high adventure. That mixed with the sharp dialogue makes for a fun and interesting point of view for a mythological monster mash.
Harren, meanwhile, gets to design creatures that appeal to his own sensibilities rather than following the guidelines dictated by other peoples' creations. Sometimes we are served up monsters with a familiar bent and other times we get a nice dollop designic singularness, and on the odd occasion we are given characters that, if there were any justice, would become iconic imagery. Case in point, Rathraq, the scarecrow-warrior-god/the central creature character.
It's odd to say, but Harren, with his swift inking brush, renders stylised clothing wrinkles awesomely, so, despite the fact that this character is a scarecrow, he always looks stylistically badass, and never more so than when embarking on violent battles with all haste… which happens frequently.
It also must be said that the central narrative is actually much more detailed and ambiguous than the above synopsis would indicate, to the point that, if describing it to someone, it's rather hard to pin down. Sure, it's a semi-reality based, contemporary fantasy adventure, but Arcudi refuses to let the storytelling be relayed via a single style; within the same issue we might flick between high adventure, noir and outright Saturday morning cartoon, and all rather seamlessly. It also, duplicitously, has enough pangs of familiarity to ease you right in comfortably despite the onslaught of originality you're soon greeted with.
This is just the first arc and what direction it will take is anyone's guess, but it has a dedicated fan right here and I highly recommend it. Rumble might not be to everybody's tastes but it is fresh, fast and funny, showcasing great writing and beautiful, energetic artwork.
The individual issues of Rumble 1-5 are all currently available in first and second printings depending on the issue but the collected edition will be available from June.

In this video I show you a solution for broken image links in your WordPress site. I am working locally on my development server but this can also apply if you encounter this issue in your live site.
I came across this issue after changing permalink settings right before migrating my local site to the remote host. I manage to break all links to my images by changing the setting from a custom structure to the default and as result the images were not showing, and the page show broken links. The media library was also broken and not showing any of the images I had in my wp-content folder.
TO RESOLVE this: I edited the .htaccess file in the /wp-content/uploads folder and viola, this resolved the issue. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your help. Even though your solution was not exactly the cause of my issue it pointed me to the right place. Apparently, in my testing I added a htaccess file to the uploads folder. Once I removed it, it worked fine. Thanks for keeping me from scratching my head for another hour with this.
My name is Eugene. This problem is really affecting my website on the live stream. My localhost website is okay with all images but the live one does not show images. I also dont have the .htaccess file in the /wp-content/uploads folder. What do I do?
Your good deed here just saved my skin! The page full of broken links is extremely stressful and this solution worked perfectly on my live site. Thanks so much.


Beisde the wonderful weather, this was the treat the early birds have earned - a guided tour by our special envoy Elspeth, daughter of Debbie, who knows Cambridge like the back of her hand. The group gathered on King's Parade outside St Mary the Great church. Notice "Auntie's Teashop" in the background. Personally, I think they serve the best scones in the the world.
Our tour started with a brief background story of the university in front of the Senate House.
The procession walked pass the Gate of Honour of Gonville and Caius College, heading to Trinity Hall.
The group was introduced to Trinity Hall's Coat of Arm in the college's courtyard.
In Latham Court backs, enjoying the view of River Cam and the nice weather.
Punts on River Cam and bridges are landmarks of the city. In the background is the Garret Hostel Bridge.
For two years in a row (probably more, but that was before my time) the Child and the Book conference is blessed with splendid weather. It certainly marks a good start of our 3-day conference. May the fun begin!

What Makes GrandPrix Different Than Other Two-Post Lifts?
When mechanics think of the best two-post lifts, they think of professional-grade pieces of equipment that are made for auto service shops and high-rise garages. If you're like many seasoned technicians who want a lift but don't think one will fit in their garage, the alternatives are either low-rise lifts or a floor jack and jack stands. Without exaggeration, we can say that the GrandPrix is the first and only two-post lift to offer the low-profile benefits of a scissor lift with the working comfort of a full-rise lift. And it's the only lift in its class that lets you finally abandon those floor jacks and stands. There's never been a two-post design capable of disrupting the entire industry, until now.
The GrandPrix series is the first to fit in virtually any space with ceilings as low as 9 feet. This means the GP-7LCS (our shortest model) is almost certain to fit in your garage. Of course, if you have more room to spare, we make two models that offer a little more working space: the standard GP-7 for 13-foot ceilings and the low-clearance GP-7LC for 10-foot ceilings. Naturally, there's a bit of a trade-off between the overall height of a car lift and its max lifting height. The taller the lift, the more standing room underneath.
GrandPrix has a smaller footprint than typical two-post structures, but it offers an incredible amount of headroom relative to its size. For all intents and purposes, a GrandPrix does everything your local shop mechanic's ultra-tall car lift does. It simply does it in a smaller space.
GrandPrix isn't just for homeowners. Its small size and versatility make it perfect for professional shops. Reduced-width side posts cut out a full two feet of steel compared to other two-post designs. That's two whole feet of open space instead of bulky, space-consuming steel! For shops without zero room to spare, this means more lifts can be installed in less space. More lifts mean more customers and higher profits.
When we talk about slimmer side posts, you may be thinking, "There's no way you can take out steel from the side columns and tell me this lift is as safe as thicker, wider models." It's funny, because somewhere along the line, that's what the public has been led to believe. The truth is that all ALI/ETL Certified side columns, including the "thin" columns on the GrandPrix, must be tested to support 300% of the load on any given component. The GrandPrix is not granted an exception to this rule.
Many two-post lifts feature a single wire rope that helps equalize the lifting arms and/or assist the hydraulics in lifting the carriage. Likewise, four-post lifts feature two such ropes. With the GrandPrix, we've done what no other lift has offered before. We took the design concept of a four-post (two wire ropes) and routed both throughout the structure. This effectively creates a redundant lifting rope, which doubles the GrandPrix's safety factor. In essence, the GrandPrix has twice as many wire ropes it needs in order to be ALI/ETL Certified.
In a completely unlikely hypothetical situation, if one rope were to suddenly snap and lose tension throughout the lift, the other would still be there, and you wouldn't know the difference. The lift would keep on lifting. Again, ALI/ETL Certification doesn't require us to do this, but we're never ones to shy away from over-engineering everything.
As part of standard ETL testing, trained inspectors are required to "break" every car lift they certify to ensure that it holds up under all but the most extreme and dangerous circumstances. This means overloading the lift well beyond the 300% threshold. The GrandPrix's design is so unique that during testing, ETL couldn't figure out a way to "break" our structure. We actually had to have one of our own engineers "un-engineer" the lift to break both wire ropes at the same time. The result: the lift dropped two inches and caught on the locks, just like it should. Not only does the GrandPrix look awesome and take up less space than any two-post lift you've ever seen, it's as safe as any car lift ever made.

One of the uni projects I'm doing is a Hotel Management system for "The Blackfish Hotel", as part of the third-year group project. Part of this is an online booking system, where customers can book rooms in the hotel.
Our "customer", the manager of the hotel, has asked for the website to have a version in Finnish as well as English, as apparently a large percentage of his customers are from Finland. This posed a challenging problem for us to solve… well… sort of.

Book III Chapter 43: The Assassination of Siccius.[450 BC]
To these defeats at the hands of the enemy have to be added two infamous crimes on the part of the decemvirs. Lucius Siccius was serving in the campaign against the Sabines. Seeing the bitter feeling against the decemvirs, he used to hold secret conversations with the soldiery and threw out hints about the creation of tribunes and resorting to a secession. He was sent to select and survey a site for a camp, and the soldiers who had been told off to accompany him were instructed to choose a favourable opportunity for attacking and despatching him. They did not effect their purpose with impunity, several of the assassins fell around him whilst he was defending himself with a courage equal to his strength, and that was exceptional. The rest brought a report back to camp that Siccius had fallen into an ambush and had died fighting bravely, whilst some soldiers had been lost with him. At first the informants were believed, but subsequently a cohort which had gone out by permission of the decemvirs to bury those who had fallen, found, when they reached the spot, no corpse despoiled, but the body of Siccius lying in the centre fully armed with those around all turned towards him, whilst there was not a single body belonging to the enemy nor any trace of their having retired. They brought the body back and declared that, as a matter of fact, he had been killed by his own men. The camp was filled with deep resentment, and it was decided that Siccius should be forthwith carried to Rome. The decemvirs anticipated this resolve by hastily burying him with military honours at the cost of the State. The soldiers manifested profound grief at his funeral, and the worst possible suspicions were everywhere entertained against the decemvirs.

Results Delayed in DR Congo Presidential Election
Jan 8, 2019 By Stan Friedman1 Comment
Police prepare for the elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo
KINSHASA, DR CONGO (January 8, 2019) — Release of results in the Democratic Republic of Congo presidential elections has been delayed, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the results. The ruling party of current President Joseph Kabila supports the candidate Emmanuel Ramazani Shadary. Opposition candidate Martin Fayulu has accused authorities of thwarting his bid.
Analysts say prolonged uncertainty could trigger violence in the country. In the wake of the elections in 2006 and 2011, deadly clashes broke out. According to news reports, Congolese security forces violently shut down protests that erupted on December 27 when the election was postponed. The government has also shut down internet access and expelled foreign journalists from the country.
Observers had hoped that this election would be the country's first peaceful transition of power. In 1961, the first democratically elected leader of DRC, Patrice Lumumba, was assassinated, one year after the country gained independence from Belgium.
The Congo Covenant Church operates in the northwest region of the country. So far, that area has remained peaceful.
Election results were to be released last Sunday, but the head of the election commission announced the delay on Saturday, saying that the commission had been able to count only half of the ballots due to logistical issues. Although the country is rich in minerals, a long history of oppression and manipulation by foreign powers has rendered DR Congo one of the poorest countries in the world.
The Catholic Church, which is a powerful force in the country, deployed more than 40,000 election observers and announced on Thursday that it had identified the winner of the vote. Only the electoral commission is legally allowed to release the results. No date has been set for that announcement.
Stan Friedman is the news and online editor for the Covenant Companion and is grateful for the opportunity to serve in a job that combines his newspaper and pastoral ministry experience. He has been to 15 Bruce Springsteen concerts in four cities and listened to "Thunder Road" an average of at least once a day for 41 years.

Initially developed by the Obama Administration, the so-called "Vulnerabilities Equities Process" (VEP) is an internal, executive-branch framework for determining when and whether the U.S. government should publicly disclose software and hardware flaws that it discovers that may leave computers vulnerable to attack. Once Obama's VEP was announced, experts debated  the strategic value of the process, its effectiveness, the secrecy surrounding it (only a partially-classified version had been made publicly available), and how to reform it.
The Trump administration clearly listened to these critiques, and the unclassified version  of the "VEP Charter" issued this week is more comprehensive and transparent than its predecessor. In the debate over whether to favor offensive capabilities or defensive efforts, the document states that disclosure serves the national interest in the "vast majority" of cases.
As we have highlighted  in several amicus briefs filed in cases challenging law enforcement hacking, government stockpiling of vulnerabilities creates security risks that experts do not know how to mitigate.
These include the risk that an attacker will steal and use malicious code for its own nefarious purposes, endangering businesses and human lives . For example, in 2016, the public learned that an entity calling itself the "Shadow Brokers" obtained National Security Agency malware. Following some initial attempts to sell the exploits, the Shadow Brokers dumped dozens of NSA hacking tools online for free in April 2017. One of those tools exploited a flaw in Microsoft software. Once it was released, others on the internet repurposed it into a virulent piece of ransomware that infected hundreds of thousands of computer systems worldwide in May 2017. The very next month, another malware attack combined that tool with another NSA exploit released by the Shadow Brokers. After initially hitting critical infrastructure in Ukraine, that attack spread internationally and infected hospitals, power companies, shipping companies, and the banking industry, endangering human life as well as economic activity.
That's because the officials in the room guessing the answers to the VEP questions will be strongly influenced by what they're getting graded on. If your job is to protect the public from terrorists or to spy on other nations, you're more likely to conclude that a vulnerability should be kept and exploited to help you accomplish your job. But if your job is to protect the public from ongoing data breaches, you're more likely to believe that the vulnerability should be disclosed to the vendor and patched before another hacker steals everyone's credit cards , personnel records , or online dating profiles .

In any fabricating operation, there is potential for myriad inefficiencies that hurt productivity. These include intellect, waiting, motion, transportation, inventory, defects, over-processing and over-production. Identifying where waste occurs can be challenging, but the press brake—often the bottleneck in many shops—is a good place to begin.
Placing tool storage near the brakes decreases setup times.
A press brake generates revenue when it bends material. Other actions relating to press-brake functionality, such as tooling setups, programming, material handling, sorting parts and reworking bends, do not contribute to profits. However, they can reduce waste, improve productivity and increase revenue through implementation of these five best practices.
Shops should film setups and changeovers. This is a cost-effective method for identifying areas in the shop that can be improved. By simply using the video function on a smartphone, operators can identify areas of waste such as time spent looking for tools, tool storage location, operator movement between the brake and tool storage, and transport of the part blank and tools.
Observing the cycle time between the first good part and last good part can help increase lean operations on the brake as well. Simply producing a good part is often the goal, regardless of the time and effort it takes. While that mindset can be an asset to quality, it can limit operational efficiencies.
Weighing the value of the part when it arrives at the press brake against the waste generated to produce the bends proves critical for reducing waste and increasing efficiencies. Once the operators identify the special tools, setups and shimming, or other custom procedures required to make the bend, they then determine what to eliminate in order to complete the bend using just one setup and one part-handling action.
Engineers can create standardized practices for offline programming while working with operators on the bend sequence. This collaboration can create visuals, such as setup sheets that travel with the production order, or graphic displays on the press-brake control to help reduce scrap and deliver setup efficiencies on the floor.
Meanwhile, operators can analyze part flow and identify commonalities in a series of part runs, which result in fewer setups and greater productivity. Creating, sharing and storing programs for established best practices can help create fewer challenges with welding and assembly, adding even greater efficiencies to the entire production process.
Clamping systems are designed to reduce manual setup time on the press brake.
Organizing tools and tool storage can generate significant waste-reduction results. For example, a proactive step for achieving leaner practices is the implementation of a process to replace worn, damaged or missing tools. Another involves addressing how operators and tools move around the shop floor in order organize the workplace to achieve more efficient press-brake-operations. When operators have to walk several steps to look for and grab the right tools, and then have to walk back to the brake to perform a setup, time and labor are wasted and production costs increase.
A simple solution: Place cabinets with the right tools near the corresponding press brake. Placing tool storage near the brakes decreases setup times. It also lessens worker frustration and fatigue. The same is true of clearly identified tools. Identify tools using color coding by machine or cell with paint and laser-marking tools for details such as material number, radius or V-die opening, length, and tonnage capacity. When identifying tools, label the outsides and insides of cabinets or tool racks.
Finally, companies should look for changes that can improve operator ergonomics, such as building work-tables and part-support tables at the same height as the point of operation, and using a laser line for operators to better identify bend lines. These simple, low-cost solutions can significantly affect lean practices at the brake while increasing operator safety and comfort.
As anybody in manufacturing understands, the desire to implement new procedures often comes with resistance. Fortunately, there are practices for implementing best-practice options on the press brake that will win over reluctant colleagues.

Ryder: Ashley likely to stay
Chronicle journalist Lee Ryder has suggested that it is unlikely that Mike Ashley will sell Newcastle United before the end of the season.
The controversial businessman has been heavily linked with a takeover in recent times, with both the Bin Zayed Group and, more recently, Peter Kenyon rumoured to be attempting buyouts.
But when asked about the potential for Ashley to sell-up in the immediate future during a Q&A for the Chronicle (18.14), Ryder responded: "It is the £300million question. We know there's a lot of interest in buying out United but moving from that point to the stage where the purchase has been completed has eluded a fair few would-be buyers who have subsequently failed to back up bold talk of wanting to purchase the Magpies.
"Mike Ashley's terms deserve some scrutiny too, mind. He's clearly happier with the process of buying that he is with selling and while those inside the club insist it'd be an "easy deal" if anyone had the money, those around the process have always insisted he's difficult to deal with.
"If I was a betting man, I'd say Ashley will be here in May."
This is just about the last thing that Newcastle United fans would want to hear, but equally, they can't be overly surprised by the news. After all, as Ryder himself alludes to here, Ashley has built a real reputation as a tough negotiator, and as such, he seems unlikely to budge when it comes to his valuation of the club. That could, however, be a real issue. For one thing, the £300 million or so that Ashley is reported to be demanding is widely regarded as excessive. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire recently suggested in a conversation with The Athletic that, in comparison to other teams in the Premier League, the Toon Army were definitely not worth that much. Secondly, while the Magpies continue to make Ashley money, he will not sell. After all, he is a businessman first and foremost, and profit will always be his priority. Boycotts are useful, of course, but the fact of the matter is that United are a cash cow, and he will not give that up unless it is for a price he deems worthy.

Seedling Capitalist
Maine governor Angus King is pushing a bold plan to help cultivate the state's economic future: Give every 7th-grader enrolled in public school - about 14,000 students per year - a free notebook computer with Net access. The initiative, now being considered by state legislators, has drawn criticism because it requires setting aside at least $50 million in taxpayer funds. But the politically independent governor is convinced that the program is essential to the state's financial health. Maine's per capita personal income ranks 37th among the 50 states, and the manufacturing and logging industries - its traditional economic base - continue to abandon the region. "Eighty years ago, I might have wanted to give every kid a chain saw," says King. "But now there's no doubt the people with the highest level of digital competence win."
Interdisciplinarian
Journalist Denise Caruso wrote her final Digital Commerce column for The New York Times last March, warning that the dotcom bubble was bound to burst. Two weeks later it did just that. These days, Caruso is lending her insight to the Hybrid Vigor Institute (www.hybridvigor.org), an online think tank she launched to support interdisciplinary collaboration among scientists. This summer, Hybrid Vigor - the name refers to the hardiness that results from crossbreeding - expects to publish its first quarterly newsletter highlighting a topic being studied by scientists from several disciplines (one issue is likely to be devoted to human vision, drawing on work from neurologists, physicists, and artists). The institute is also working on a browser that will help scientists turn up unexpected connections. "We're trying to automate serendipity," says Caruso, "and bring it to the desktop."

Lieutenant Kernel
Linus Torvalds has become a household name, but few have heard of Alan Cox, his right-hand man. The affable programmer is gatekeeper for the Linux operating system that's shipped on hundreds of thousands of corporate servers. Working from his home in Wales, Cox spends his time "keeping the kernel rock-solid" by incorporating bug fixes from developers around the world. This leaves Torvalds free to focus on the next version. Industry insiders single out Cox, who's now on Red Hat's payroll, as heir apparent should Torvalds grow tired of leading the movement, but Cox says he enjoys keeping a low profile. "At trade shows I can just hide my badge," he says, "and only the right people bother me."

Q: HTML template with random number not rendering I  am running the Go [go1.12.9 windows/amd64] program below (to test out the Go HTML Templates) in

localhost/8080/

But the templates just don't render in the browser (Chrome, Edge).
Also there are no errors given in the console.
How should one get this program to render in the browser?
package main

import (

    // "fmt"
    "html/template"
    "log"
    "math/rand"
    "net/http"
    "time"
    // "golang.org/x/mobile/app"
)

func main() {
    http.HandleFunc("/", randNum)
    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))

}

func randNum(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Create random number
    type RNumber struct {
        A int
    }

    aRand := rand.Intn(10)
    Rnum := RNumber{aRand}

    //Show Template
    Tmpl, _ := template.New("randNum1").Parse("HTML NUMBER ======> {{.A}}  ")
    // Tmpl := template.Must(template.ParseFiles("ui0.html"))<===Also passed values to Html files not rendering
    err := Tmpl.Execute(w, Rnum)
    if err != nil {
        print(err)
    }
    time.Sleep(3000 * time.Millisecond)

    //Loop
    randNum(w, r)
}

EDIT 1
Please note that a new random number shown every 3s is a requirement .In this edit , the recursive randnum call has been removed and a new "for" loop has been added to the above script.However ,the html renders a  random number  and then renders the same number.It doesn't render a new random number every 3 seconds ,as expected.
import (
// "fmt"
    "html/template"
    "log"
    "math/rand"
    "net/http"
    "time"
    // "golang.org/x/mobile/app"
)

func main() {
    http.HandleFunc("/", randNum)
    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}

func randNum(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    // Create random number
    type Rnumber struct {
        A int
    }

    aRand := rand.Intn(10)
    Rnumber1 := Rnumber{aRand}

    //Create Template
    Tmpl, _ := template.New("randNum1").Parse("HTML NUMBER ======> {{.A}}  ")

    // Render a new random number every 3s
    loop := 5
    for loop > 0 {
            fmt.Println("loop = ", loop)
        loop --
        err := Tmpl.Execute(w, Rnumber1)
        if err != nil {
            print(err)
        }
        time.Sleep(3000 * time.Millisecond)
    }
}

**

EDIT 2

I have added an fmt.Println("loop = ", loop) line in the above script to check how the looping happens in a for loop(-5times) with a Sleep function(3s).Below is the result of the above "for loop".Still ,not sure how a new random number is not getting displayed?

HTML NUMBER ======> 425  HTML NUMBER ======> 425  HTML NUMBER ======> 425  HTML NUMBER ======> 425  HTML NUMBER ======> 425

A: randNum is an enabled recursion, it'll call itself every 3 seconds until it crashes with a stack overflow. And since it never returns, http server will not close the connection expecting the handler to finish writing. Remove the sleep and randnum call lines. Instead, return from the function after writing the template to the writer w.

A: The problem
For every request, the handler is called as a goroutine, meaning that your thread.Sleep() will run for request r. When a new request r+1 comes in, the whole handler is executed again.
A solution
What you need to have is a goroutine manipulating the random number every 3 seconds atomically and independent from your handler code.
package main

import (
    "html/template"
    "log"
    "math/rand"
    "net/http"
    "sync/atomic"
    "time"
)

// We make the template String a const to make the code more readable.
const templateString = "HTML Number ==> {{.Random}}"

// We use an int32 here, as it is by far big enough to
// hold our values and since the atomic package we
// use later down the road requires us to be specific.
var a int32

// Make the template global for convenience.
var tmpl *template.Template

// Initialize the stuff we need.
func init() {

    // We seed our random to make it less predictable
    // Note that you should use "crypto/rand" in
    // production environments.
    rand.Seed(time.Now().Unix())

    // We atomically set a to a random value.
    // Strictly speaking, this would not be necessary, as init is called
    // before main starts, but it shows how to set a value.
    atomic.StoreInt32(&a, rand.Int31n(10))

    // Either the template parses or the program panics.
    tmpl = template.Must(template.New("randNum1").Parse(templateString))
}

func main() {

    // Create a goroutine...
    go func(d time.Duration) {

        // ...which creates a ticker triggering every d.
        tick := time.NewTicker(d)

        // After every d...
        for range tick.C {
            // ...atomically change the value of a to a new random number
            n := rand.Int31n(10)
            atomic.SwapInt32(&a, rand.Int31n(10))
            log.Printf("Set a to %d", n)
        }
    }(3 * time.Second)

    // Now, our handler becomes trivial.
    http.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        // We use an anonymous struct here.
        // No need to clutter the code with unnecessary type definitions.
        tmpl.Execute(w, struct{ Random int32 }{atomic.LoadInt32(&a)})
    })

    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil))
}

The result
Above code renders as expected:

And the log output looks like this:
2019/09/01 14:15:24 Set a to 2
2019/09/01 14:15:27 Set a to 1
2019/09/01 14:15:30 Set a to 1
2019/09/01 14:15:33 Set a to 3
2019/09/01 14:15:36 Set a to 9
2019/09/01 14:15:39 Set a to 4
2019/09/01 14:15:42 Set a to 2
