Q: Sending data to a client through a SocketChannel after he has closed his I have a client and a server application where the client sends a byte of data that signals that the user has closed the client window and terminated the client program. The problem is that the server may send one last notification to that client before discarding him. If the server uses the SocketChannel's write method in blocking mode is it going to block indefinitely or is it simply ignored? Should I make the client wait for a "disconnection acknowledgement" before it is disconnected?

A: "Yes" to your last question.  You should design and implement a farewell protocol that includes a state in which the client isn't going to send or read any more application-level data, but is still waiting for final confirmation on the close.

A: It won't block forever and it is not ignored. It is quite possible that it won't block at all, if there is room in the socket send buffer for the data. If it does block it may incur an IOException: 'connection reset by peer', or it may just unblock and return normally. There is no predicting this. The situation is incorrect and should not be allowed to occur. You can get to an agreed mutual close point by shutting down both sockets for output and then reading until you get an EOS; then both sides are at the same point and may close.

Meet the new players spending big on StreetEasy's lead-generation tools
RE/MAX and Century 21 among the firms buying leads
Nov.November 17, 2017 07:00 AM
By E.B. Solomont
Diane Ramirez and Michael Napolitano
Halstead Property is targeting buyers from Midtown to Hudson Heights, while RE/MAX is going after Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst. LG Fairmont is courting buyers citywide, and a Texas-based Keller Williams franchisee is making moves on the Upper West Side.
These are just some of the firms advertising via StreetEasy's Premier Agent and Premier Broker programs, according to data obtained by The Real Deal.
Although some of the city's top brokerages initially knocked the platforms — which let agents and firms purchase buyer leads in specific ZIP codes — they're now betting on neighborhoods.
Among the largest of the new users is Halstead Property, which began testing Premier Broker two months ago because "[StreetEasy has] the market share," said Jim Cahill, chief information officer at Terra Holdings, the parent company of Halstead and Brown Harris Stevens.
While BHS is not participating in Premier Broker, Cahill said Halstead has opted to experiment with the program — which lets firms purchase bundles of buyer leads from the online listings platform. Its future spending "will be dictated by how successful the test is," Cahill added.
Although Halstead CEO Diane Ramirez was not among those who publicly blasted StreetEasy's lead-generation program, the two companies have tussled in the past few months. Halstead discontinued its automatic listing feed after StreetEasy introduced a $3-per-day fee to post rental listings. Instead, the firm is sending sales and rental listings to the Real Estate Board of New York's new residential listing system (RLS).
Other new players include BOND New York, which was among the group of firms — including Corcoran Group and Douglas Elliman — that said it would give Premier Broker a try this summer.
As of last month, co-founder Noah Freedman was advertising in nine ZIP codes, including the Upper West Side and Chelsea. "Leads are only as good as the systems and people that nurture them," he told TRD via email.
Perhaps the most surprising participant is the Heyl Group, a Central Texas-based Keller Williams franchise, that is currently advertising in six ZIP codes in New York such as the Upper West Side, Upper East Side and Greenwich Village. The team is headed by Tim Heyl, who in Texas is known for scaling his business by using buyer leads. Heyl and his colleagues closed $463.5 million in deals nationwide last year, according to Real Trends.
Heyl did not return calls seeking comment, but sources familiar with his team speculated that it collects leads from StreetEasy, vets them and hands them off to New York-based Keller Williams agents.
The influx of participants has made Premier Agent and Premier Broker more competitive — and more expensive, since the programs use auction-based pricing. Some agents who purchased leads through Zillow Group, StreetEasy's parent company, before the programs launched in New York say it's too expensive.
"I don't see it as sustainable," said Jack Kishk, executive director of a Century 21 franchise in Flatbush. Kishk said he's spending about double to advertise on StreetEasy compared to three years ago. But instead of receiving 40 leads a day, he gets around 25 a month.
"They're not taking care of the people who have been with them for years," Kishk said.
But Michael Napolitano, who owns two RE/MAX offices in Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst, said he has no problem with new competition in the market. "It's open game," he said.
Napolitano is one of the agents who took advantage of Premier Agent when it was only offered through Zillow. He estimates that those buyer leads result in around 50 percent of his annual business. "I was an associate broker for 10 years, and buying leads helped me scale my business even bigger," he said.
Napolitano currently has 20 agents, and purchasing leads help them get a foot in the door, too.
"Agents who are hungry, they get them in hand," he said, "and they know how to respond to that customer."

Orlando, FL - Orlando City SC fan Drew Goddard is still looking for his keys, and hoping that they are returned to him from the Citrus Bowl after celebrating Orlando City's late goals while reportedly leaving the stadium in disgust.
"I was walking out of the stadium in anger and frustration with my car keys in my hand with the first and second goals went in. Somehow, in the massive celebration that ensued, I lost my keys under the stands somewhere. If anyone has a clue as to where they went, please let me know," stated Mr Goddard to The Nutmeg News on Monday.
While Mr Goddard claimed the previous to The Nutmeg News, friends also indicate that Mr Goddard reportedly asked on Facebook for his friends to look in the parking lot by the area where his car was parked stating, "I'm not sure where I lost them, but it might have been next to my car when the second goal happened. I left around the 85th minute, so I should have made it to my car by then."
When confronted about this information Mr Goddard stated, "I was absolutely in the stadium when we scored. I was leaving, but I hadn't left. I swear that on my dead hamster. Seriously, you could check the pictures but I'm always behind someone or below someone or hugging someone with my face turned away in the celebration. Trust Me. I was there. But if someone could help me find my keys, that would be great."

Биография
Нгуен Хоанг Фи Ву родился в Хайзыонге 27 июня 1999 года.

Начал заниматься стрельбой из лука в 2012 году, а спустя три года дебютировал на международном соревновании (на юниорском уровне). Ранее занимался стрельбой из пистолета, но тренер рекомендовал Нгуену перейти на стрельбу из лука, так как он у него развитая близорукость на одном глазу, и астигматизм на втором. Сам Нгуен отмечает, что для него это становится проблемой в пасмурных и ветреных условиях.

Вьетнамский лучник занял восьмое место, добравшись до четвертьфинала, в соревновании смешанных пар, а также дошёл с мужской сборной до 1/8 финала в командном турнире. В индивидуальном первенстве Нгуен Хоанг Фи Ву выбыл на стадии 1/32 финала.

Нгуен Хоанг Фи Ву участвовал на Олимпийских играх в Токио только в индивидуальном первенстве. Однако уже в первом матче плей-офф против тайваньского лучника Тан Чжицзюня проиграл со счётом 1:7.

Kitchener Memorial restoration begins
The Kitchener Memorial (image: Orkney Heritage Society)
I am delighted to report that work to restore Orkney's Kitchener Memorial ahead of centenary commemorations next year is due to begin this week (beginning Monday 29 June).
Visitors to Marwick Head will see scaffolding on the memorial as work begins to restore the stonework to its original condition, inspect and repair the roof, reinstate the ventilation and restore the inspection doorway.
The contractor chosen by Orkney Heritage Society for the work is Casey Construction Ltd of Kirkwall.
The Kitchener Memorial, a 48-feet high stone tower, was unveiled in 1926 to commemorate Earl Kitchener, Britain's Secretary of State for War, who was lost when HMS Hampshire sank just off Orkney's Atlantic coast on 5 June 1916.
The restored tower will be officially unveiled at events marking the centenary of the sinking on Sunday 5 June 2016. Relatives of some of those lost are expected to attend.
Visitors to Marwick Head may be surprised to see the Kitchener Memorial surrounded by scaffolding but we think people will understand this is necessary, for a short while, to safeguard this iconic structure and ensure it is in fine condition for the centenary events.
Volunteers from the Society have now identified the names of the last of the 737 men, including Kitchener, who were lost that night. In addition to the restoration we hope to build a low arc-shaped commemorative wall alongside the tower engraved with all the men's names. This element of the project is subject to receiving planning permission from Orkney Islands Council and sufficient funds being raised.
Anyone who wishes to donate towards the project can do so online at justgiving.com/orkneyheritagesociety/. Or, send a cheque, payable to Orkney Heritage Society, to Orkney Heritage Society, PO Box 6220, Kirkwall, Orkney, KW15 9AD.
Follow the progress of the project on Facebook (@Kitchener.Memorial), Twitter (@kitchenerorkney) and via this blog.

HMS Hampshire and 737 men were lost 99 years ago today
Aerial view of the Kitchener Memorial (image: Frankie Tait)
Ninety-nine years ago tonight the British warship HMS Hampshire sank just off the coast of Orkney, in the north of Scotland, leading to the loss of 737 men, including Britain's Secretary of State for War, Earl Kitchener.
The ship was taking Kitchener to Russia for secret talks when, at about 7.45pm, she hit a mine in atrocious weather conditions and sank in about 15 minutes.
For many years it was thought more than 600 men were lost, including Kitchener, but now our Kitchener & HMS Hampshire Memorial project has discovered the true figure to be 737.
This week we issued a press release – reproduced below – to mark the anniversary and to announce, and explain, this shocking new death toll figure.
Our project is to "better remember" all the men who were lost by building an HMS Hampshire commemorative wall, engraved with all the men's names, alongside Orkney's Kitchener Memorial, which we plan to restore.
There is still an annual memorial service for Earl Kitchener at St Paul's Cathedral, London, this year on Sunday 7 June. You can find more about this on the Kitchener Scholars website: http://kitchenerscholars.org/copy-of-memorial-service-at-st-pauls-cathedral-1-1
Kitchener & HMS Hampshire Memorial press release: 4 June 2015
Volunteers working on a planned commemorative wall to more than 700 men lost on HMS Hampshire in the First World War believe they have identified all the men on board, 99 years after the sinking.
The warship sank off the coast of Orkney on 5 June 1916 while taking Earl Kitchener, Britain's Secretary of State for War – famous for the "Your Country Needs You!" recruitment posters – to Russia for secret talks. There were only 12 survivors.
Ten years later the Kitchener Memorial, a 48-feet high stone tower overlooking the site of the sinking, was unveiled on cliffs at Marwick Head, on the Atlantic west coast of Mainland Orkney. It has a plaque which only makes brief reference to the men lost with Kitchener.
But those working for Orkney Heritage Society's Kitchener & HMS Hampshire Memorial project want to "better remember" all those lost by building an arc-shaped low wall, engraved with their names, alongside the memorial.
It was long believed that 643 men died after HMS Hampshire hit a mine in stormy weather but recent research by Orkney historian Brian Budge discovered the names of more than 730 men who were lost, with many of the additional names being part of Kitchener's party.
Now project committee member Andrew Hollinrake has researched online and travelled from Orkney to spend hours digging through hundreds of files at The National Archives in Kew, London, to arrive at a final figure of 737 men lost, including Kitchener. Part of his research involved untangling two family names which had been wrongly joined together.
Andrew explains: "Brian Budge had compiled a list of names from various sources including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website. This included 723 members of the ship's complement, and most of Kitchener's party. But more than one source referred to other, previously-unnamed civilian staff on the mission to Russia, suggesting that there were as many as 13 accompanying Kitchener.
"One of the party, Kitchener's personal servant, was named by many sources as Henry Surguy-Shields. I discovered that this was an error, and the name listed had been a misreading of a press bulletin naming Henry Surguy and "—- Shields", with a dash in place of Shields' forename being mistaken for a hyphen, and so misread as a double-barrelled name.
"I visited the National Archives and, after sifting through several large volumes of documents relating to the sinking, I found not only a detailed list of the sailors lost, but also a complete list of Kitchener's party. This included William Shields, a former soldier, valet to Lt Col Fitzgerald, Kitchener's military secretary.
"Also listed was Frank West, personal servant to Sir H.F. Donaldson, another key member of the mission as a technical advisor to the Ministry of Munitions. I was already on the trail of West, since I'd found a reference to him in a family tree published on Ancestry.co.uk, but it was good to confirm his presence from an official, primary source!
"We're now fairly sure we have the complete list, bringing the total to 737."
The proposed commemorative wall's arc shape was chosen following a public consultation. Planning permission for the wall, a little over a metre high, is being sought from Orkney Islands Council.
The project team also plan to restore the existing Kitchener Memorial to its original condition, retaining its iconic profile.
The restored tower and the commemorative wall are to be officially unveiled at events marking the centenary of the sinking on Sunday 5 June 2016. Relatives of those lost, including Kitchener, are expected to attend.
Anyone who wishes to donate towards the £200,000 cost can do so online at justgiving.com/orkneyheritagesociety/. The project committee is also applying for grants towards the cost and has already secured a £50,000 grant from Orkney Island Council's Community Development Fund.
Neil Kermode, leading the project for Orkney Heritage Society, says: "As the centenary of the loss approaches, we believe the hundreds of men who died deserve to be better, and appropriately, remembered. The project committee is working hard to get grants towards the cost but we will also rely on public donations. We would be grateful for any help, large and small."
Follow the progress of the project on Facebook (@Kitchener.Memorial), Twitter (@kitchenerorkney) and via a blog at kitchenerhampshire.wordpress.com/.
Anyone without computer access who wishes to donate may send a cheque, payable to Orkney Heritage Society, to Orkney Heritage Society, PO Box 6220, Kirkwall, Orkney, KW15 9AD.

As many as 4 million people around the world took to the streets Friday in the largest day of action focused on the climate crisis. Students across the globe led climate strikes in hundreds of countries, inspired by 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. The demonstration kicked off in Foley Square, where tens of thousands of people gathered before the march. Varshini Prakash, co-founder and executive director of the Sunrise Movement, and climate activist Vic Barrett were among the handful of activists who addressed the climate strikers in Foley Square.

AMY GOODMAN: As many as 4 million people took to the streets around the world Friday in the largest day of action focused on the climate crisis. Students across the globe participated in a climate strike inspired by the 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. Just over a year ago, Greta began skipping classes to protest in front of the Swedish parliament, demanding action to prevent catastrophic climate change. Her protest inspired millions around the world. On Friday, she joined the climate strike in New York City ahead of today's U.N. Climate Action Summit.
Later in the show, we'll hear Greta in her own words, but first we turn to more voices from Friday's protests. We begin with Varshini Prakash, co-founder and executive director of the Sunrise Movement, and climate activist Vic Barrett addressing climate strikers in Foley Square as the march began.
VIC BARRETT: Vic Barrett niri bai. Garifuna nuguya. Vic Barrett is my name. I am Garifuna. My people are an Afro-indigenous community from the island of Saint Vincent in the Caribbean. Despite overwhelming adversity, we organized our community and emancipated ourselves from colonization. My ancestors did this to protect the children to come. I am one of those children.
But the struggle continues for me and my people. Again we are being pushed from the lands which we settled, the lands that my family has inhabited for generations. That land will be underwater in a few decades if we continue on the path we are on.
I was born into a world in which my future is being stolen from me, born into a world in which my past already was, born into a world where everything that I am is slipping into the sea, born into a world where my people face extinction.
Indigenous lands all over our planet are being flooded, poisoned and destroyed. My black brothers and sisters are being gunned down by police. Migrant children are dying at the border. Trans folks are being murdered. Violence is in the air that we breathe, the spectacular violence of the police on marginalized people and the slow violence of dispossession and disenfranchisement on those same communities.
Some would think that there's no more room for destruction. But I think that all of us here know that, for decades, our government and governments around the world have consciously put policies in place that have caused the climate crisis that we find ourselves in, an emerging crisis threatening my generation with untold violence.
But this is an old story, right? A story that we're tired of hearing, right? That is why we're here. We're here to write a new story, a story in which our country is doing everything in its power to address not only the climate crisis, but the systemic injustices at its roots; a story in which our constitutional right to a safe climate is recognized by the highest courts; a story in which the most vulnerable people are given the greatest protections; a story in which indigenous peoples are empowered to protect our homelands.
In 2030, the history books will show that faced with imminent destruction, people on the frontlines fought back; that young people rose up around the world to demand immediate action; that starting on this day, September 20th, 2019, everything began to change. The momentum became unstoppable. Billions of people joined the next Global Climate Strike. The United States Supreme Court enshrined our constitutional right to a stable climate. And politicians around the world found the political will to fight for meaningful reforms to ensure justice for their people.
But let me tell you guys, those history books won't write themselves. So I want you to repeat after me: This is our time.
CROWD: This is our time.
VIC BARRETT: This is our future.
CROWD: This is our future.
VIC BARRETT: And I will do —
CROWD: And I will do —
VIC BARRETT: — whatever it takes —
CROWD: — whatever it takes —
VIC BARRETT: — to protect our rights, —
CROWD: — to protect our rights, —
VIC BARRETT: — to protect our planet —
CROWD: — to protect our planet —
VIC BARRETT: — and to protect our people.
CROWD: — and to protect our people.
VIC BARRETT: Thank you.
VARSHINI PRAKASH: My name is Varshini. It is a pleasure to be with you here today. So, I want to say, when I first learned about the climate crisis as a kid, like, I would lie awake at night, my heart pounding, when I thought about what this would mean for my people. I couldn't get the images out of my head — right? — of what people would do to each other when they didn't have food, when they didn't have water and when they sought sanctuary and were faced with cages and guns instead. And I felt alone and small and powerless. And I know that that is the story that so many young people are feeling right now.
We have grown up seeing the political establishment fail us. And for twice as long as I have been alive on this planet, we have known about the crisis. For just as long, the wealthy and the powerful have profited off of pollution, have lied to millions of people about the science, have choked our democracy with their Big Oil dollars and stolen our futures.
Today, this generation is taking over! Our days of waiting for justice, our days of waiting for action, our days of waiting to be heard are over! Am I right? Today, we are putting our feet in the streets, and we are not stopping until we get it done! Today, kids don't have to feel small and alone and powerless, because we have a movement that is globally shaking the roots of our society, that is getting millions of people involved in action. And striking is how we can stop the worst of the climate crisis and get a Green New Deal. …
And if we want to win, we are going to need tens of millions of Americans to join us in the streets. If we are going to win, we have to bring society and our economy to a standstill and make it happen. If we are going to win, politicians are going to have to know that they will win or lose based off of where they stand on this issue.
And we can do it. We've been here before as a people. In 1970, on the first Earth Day, 20 million people were in the streets. During the civil rights movement, young students and young people were arrested and took action and took risks by the tens of thousands. And that's what it takes to make change in this country.
So I need all of you to be with me here in this fight. So I want you to imagine striking not just for one day, but day after day, marching and demonstrating incessantly, even shutting down our cities and schools and businesses to stop business as usual, unless we get what we want and need as a generation. Are you with me in that fight? So today is a glorious start. And tomorrow the fight continues, and I want to see you there.
AMY GOODMAN: That was Varshini Prakash, co-founder and executive director of the Sunrise Movement, joining a quarter of a million people in New York alone who marched from Foley Square to Battery Park in downtown New York City. Democracy Now! was there in the streets. When we come back, you'll hear some of the voices of the marchers, as well as a part of Greta Thunberg's speech. Stay with us.

Q: Do waterfalls conserve momentum? If so, how? I understand that waterfalls conserve energy, given the fact that the top of a waterfall possesses gravitational potential energy, and as the water is falling from top to bottom, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which, in turn, has high velocity.
How, if in fact, can waterfalls be applied to the conservation of momentum? I have a relatively basic knowledge of physics, but I'm wondering if the answer would be as simple as saying that there is the same amount of mass of water from the top to the bottom of the waterfall, which is also going in the same direction; hence, conservation of momentum.

A: The waterfall and the Earth both exert a gravitational force on each other. The change in momentum of the waterfall is exactly equal and opposite to the change in momentum of the Earth. Therefore, momentum is conserved.

I'll be honest with you. It was a difficult decision whether to offer my Santa Fe Art Journaling Retreat in 2015.
Part of the struggle was that scheduling changes at my classroom venue made things uncertain regarding guaranteed availability dates. I also signed on for another year's lease at my gallery and know it will take lots of time to do justice to that.
But on the other side of the table was the satisfaction of seeing people have so much fun, enjoy my city so much, and especially, the look in artists' eyes when they finally admit they can draw!! The teacher in me can't stop quite yet.
So I made changes. First, a new name: Santa Fe Sketchbook. It s still about art journaling, but our art journals are really sketch-based, and this name says that better, I think.
Second, I have a brand new, beautiful classroom right in the building with my gallery, so why not use it? It is in the heart of downtown – a block off the plaza. You go out the door and you are *there* in the middle of Santa Fe. Our other place was 5 blocks further away.
The only downside is size – the other classroom was twice as big.
So, the third change was to limit attendees to 8, and offer two dates, since the late September date did not work for everyone.
Eight students will mean lots of time for individual attention (when asked for – I don't hover).
Fourth change: I lowered the tuition by $50 and am offering an additional $50 Early Bird Discount for sign-ups by the end of January. That makes an affordable retreat much more affordable.
So many of you have emailed saying you hope to attend one of these retreats "someday". I have to tell you that someday has to be in 2015, because it will be my last year of live teaching for the fore-seeable future. My last hiatus lasted more than 5 years. I don't know what the duration of this one might be.
2016 will be devoted to large and detailed and complicated art projects – which I love to do and never have the time for. Then, I will see where I go from there.
So, if you want to join me for a dream trip to Santa Fe and learn to paint that window at the top of this post, or the page that follows (and many others like it), come on down!

'The Pivot' is must-see star-studded interviews
By R.O. Read
By Percy Lovell Crawford
If the phrase opposites attract is true, the new podcast/YouTube show "The Pivot" embraces that sentiment.
To some degree, the only thing Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor share in common is they are all former NFL players.
But their chemistry on the show is palpable. They share laughs, disagreements, debates, but most importantly, the respect of one another. After severing ties with the "I Am Athlete" podcast, Taylor and Crowder linked with Clark to "Pivot" into another direction.
In just four months, the show has welcomed legendary guests, such as Shaquille O'Neal, Caitlyn Jenner, Floyd Mayweather, Charles Barkley and Dana White. The show's popularity among sports and entertainment fans continues to grow.
The trio explains to Zenger how the locker-room atmosphere is the key to getting guest to be themselves.
Zenger: Was it a collective thought to let the viewers of "The Pivot" know why Channing [Crowder] and Fred [Taylor] left, "I Am Athlete" on the first episode, or was it under consideration to just go right into having the first guest?
Clark: It wasn't about airing anything or putting anybody out in any sort of way, for us, it was truly: "Hey man, there is going to be an elephant in the room, let's not make people wait 17 shows to hear it."
Fred Taylor serves as, "The Pivot's" respected voice of reason. (Matt Ramirez).
Zenger: Fred, right away you adopted the "OG" role or moniker. Is that the role you serve in real life because it seems to be genuine?
Taylor: 1,000 percent! I can't change who I am, or what I am. The "OG" part … I don't know (laughing).
Crowder: He don't want to be old, bro. He don't like the word, old.
Zenger: It just means "Offering Game," Fred.
Taylor: OK, I'm with you on that. I call it, "On God!" It is what it is, right. At this point, you have to embrace it. I do. And this is who I am. I guess from that standpoint, when I step back and really look at it, I'm always offering game as you say. I'm always trying to help people steer clear of any BS and try to put them in the right position.
Zenger: Channing, it seems you are big on vibes and chemistry. Did you sense right away when you and Fred made that pivot that the chemistry would be there? Or did you think it would take some time?
Crowder: Honestly, when me and Fred pivoted … something Fred always says is, "You keep your face clean in the streets." Me and Fred always been cool, but now when people see me and Fred together, they're like, "You cool with Fred, you cool with me." People I don't even know. Dudes I never played with, and dudes who I never crossed their paths. Me and Fred have always been cool. Me and Ryan and talking to, RC and following his career for so long, meeting him a couple of years back, when we ended up pivoting… people asked me and Fred before, "If it wasn't Ryan, who was it going to be?"
I always laugh because for me, it was the first and only name on the list when we decided to branch off. I know how he moves. I know how professional he is; he's in order. I have seen him on other podcasts and ESPN, and I knew that was the guy we had to get. Me and Fred agreed on it, Alicia Zubikowski, we talked about it, and she said, Ryan is amazing.
We chopped it up with Ryan for an hour. I knew it would work. But before, we had to find the right mix to know that it would be successful. Once we did, I knew this would blow!
Zenger: To only be four months into the show, looking at some guests, and how well the numbers are doing, is this where you guys wanted to be, exceeded expectations, or are you still processing it all?
Channing Crowder is the outspoken wildcard on "The Pivot." His takes are both real and controversial at times. (Matt Ramirez)
Crowder: They call me "Toxic Positivity," man. I tell them all the time when things happen, people cancel on it, my saying is: "Don't worry, everything is going to work out."
Ryan Clark: He says: "It always works out!"
Crowder: That's my thing. Through month one, month two, month three, month four, and now heading into month five, everything has worked out for us. I might be getting to them now with my toxic positivity. I always thought things would work out.
Clark: That is not it. We have things to do, this man messes the things up, and it always works out, is his excuse for messing things up.
Crowder: Don't it work out in the end?
Clark: It does.
Crowder: No, because people want to panic and stress out. Everything will work out, let's get us some liquor, drink, and have a good time. And then everything works out tomorrow.
Zenger: Do you all read the comments on your YouTube videos?
Crowder: This is a Fred question.
Clark: (Laughing).
Taylor: I'm not the only one that's reading comments.
Clark: I read, but I'm not answering.
Taylor: But I like feedback. I don't always entertain it. I try to give people our vision and our point of view. What we have learned throughout this process is, we have to let the guest dictate the direction of the show. We sort of come in and piggyback them and expound on their thoughts. I think the comments are healthy for the most part. It gives us the good and the bad. We're always going to remain who we are. We're going to stay the course no matter what. We're not going to let anyone dictate our direction. We understand it comes with the territory.
Let me tell you about one comment that was pointed out to me just a few days ago from the Caitlyn [Jenner] episode. Somebody commented on her business partner manager's page on a post that she posted on all of us. It said, "This is a handsome group of guys, the best interview we have done." This includes, Vanity Fair, Diane Sawyer… and we are three black men, right.
The comment from a random person was: "I love what you and your partner did, you killed it, but I dislike these three guys." What do we say to that? Do we listen to this person, or do we listen to Caitlyn and Sophia who were there?
We knew people would come at us, whether it was them not wanting to quote the Bible, or whether they want to say: You're three heterosexual men, what are you doing? But we chose to pivot, and do it our way. That's what we have been doing. It's been working, and we will continue to do it that way.
Zenger: I'm not sure who is doing the bookings, but you guys have had some very special guests on the show. Is there any bucket list guest you want?
Clark: President Obama.
Crowder: Samuel L. Jackson would be mine. My personality is 50 percent based on him. He is my favorite actor. I love Denzel [Washington]. I would love to have him on.
Clark: That would be hilarious.
Taylor: I would love to have Halle Berry on the show. I would like Webster.
Crowder: I'm a shoot (try to talk to her).
Clark: Little Webster?
Crowder: We ain't talked about this, Big Homie Percy. Fred, you said, Webster?
Taylor: Nah… Halle Berry. I was kidding. Michael Jordan. We have to be real and say it would be an honor to get LeBron [James], Tiger [Woods], or Tom Brady. All of those guys, so it's wide open for me.
Crowder: Tell Samuel L. Jackson that I am created by his personality.
Ryan Clark adds to the personality balance on "The Pivot." (Matt Ramirez)
Zenger: When we conduct these interviews, we could only hope that we get the honesty that Shaquille O'Neal gave you guys, and the raw emotion that Michael Beasley showed you guys. How special were those episodes?
Crowder: It's something RC always says, we know the opening angle, and then all three of us adjust from there. We all do our research and look into things, but we know the start of the conversation. From there, it's just natural conversation. We just start talking.
With Beasley, when he walked in, we kind of felt that energy, and we had to recalibrate a bit. Most dudes come in, and they are charismatic, jumping around and bouncing around, "Preciate ya'll boys having me on." Beasley was kind of reserved. We all adjusted to where he was at, so we asked the same questions and the interview started slow. Then, once we got to what he wanted to talk about, it matriculated to what it became.
With Shaq, we talked to him for about 30 minutes before the interview started. So, we got a rapport with Shaq. He called me, "Lil Ugly Ass Boy!" Even that back and forth between me and him happened before the cameras turned on. We already had that old-school roast session beforehand. That locker-room environment, whether it's deep like a Beasley or life like a Shaq… we can get into Shaq and his divorce from Shaunie. That question was just like, "Man, you got divorced, it takes two people to get divorced, what happened there?" It was a light question and he…
Clark: (Cutting in) That wasn't light, man. You tried to blame that man's ex-wife.
Crowder: I was trying to see who was at fault.
Clark: That man said it was his fault at first, and you tried to blame the man, woman the same way you tried to blame Russell Wilson.
Crowder: (Cutting in) I'll blame Russ too, because he's a square. Bro, from the Beasley thing that got real deep, to the Shaq thing that started like boys in the locker room. I think our entire appeal and approach to get people to open up is, it's really the locker room. Like you said, you got Freddy T, The OG, he ain't going to talk every time, but when he talks, everyone shuts up. You got Ryan. He's the auditor. He's going to make sure everything keeps moving and keeps going.
Clark: I do not talk like that.
Crowder: And then you got your wildcard in me. We know our places, and we laugh about it and have a good time. That's the locker-room environment. When you get in the locker room with 50-plus, grown ass, rich ass men, everybody has their own angle, and you have to deal with so many personalities. People open up to us because they get that locker-room feel.
Zenger: What are the short-term goals or expectations for "The Pivot"?
Taylor: Short-term goal, book the next guest. We never really know how that goes. You asked earlier, we don't have a booking agent. It's been all us going through our phone books and making connections. People actually starting to reach out. PR people are reaching out because their clients want to come on the show, which is good because we try to provide a safe space.
Truthfully, I don't think any of us have thought about any short-term goals. We want to make sure we engage more sponsorship opportunities, so we can pay these bills, so we can continue moving like we're moving. We're making sacrifices when we made a commitment to be with each other, and we're going to do whatever it takes to continue to grow this thing. The only short-term goal is to keep this thing moving. We pivot as we go!
Zenger: Ryan, you have, "DC & RC," "The Pivot," and many other sports-related things. Have you found a balance to everything you have going on?
Clark: The thing that's been cool for me is just finding my place in everything. I'm a former NFL player that does a podcast in a very… for lack of a better word, white sport in UFC. When you're not a former fighter, they're not very welcoming. If you go in my DM's, there are probably hundreds of conversations that started with people telling me to not do the UFC. I have a conversation with them and tell them how I love it, how long I've watched it, how I've trained in it.
I'm not trying to be Daniel Cormier analyzing it. The thing that's happened with "The Pivot" is, I've found my place — and I'm comfortable in it. The biggest thing with me is, I don't have any ego in this. What you want after every show is to feel like, WE, capital W capital E, put out the best show possible. We've had shows where I thought Fred absolutely led the entire show and was the star. We've had shows where I thought Channing led the entire show and was the star. And it was never one of those nights where I felt like I didn't get enough. Because I knew at the end of the night, that was the way the show was supposed to go, and that was the best show we could do.

Boeing's last 747 will roll out in Washington
After more than half a century, Boeing is going to roll its last 747 out of a Washington state factory on Tuesday.
The jumbo jet, which has taken on many roles as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying more than 500 passengers and as the Air Force One presidential aircraft, debuted in 1969. It was the largest commercial aircraft in the world, and the first with two aisles, and still towers over most other planes.
The design of the 747 included a second deck extending from the cockpit back over the first third of the plane, giving it a distinctive hump that made the plane instantly recognizable and inspired a nickname, the Whale. The Queen of the Skies became more elegantly known as the 747.
It took less than 50,000 Boeing employees less than 16 months to churn out the first 747. Since then, the company has completed 1,573 more.
Over the past 15 years or so, Boeing and its European rival Airbus have released new widebody planes with two engines instead of the 747 s four. They were more fuel-efficient and profitable.
Delta was the last U.S. airline to use the 747 for passenger flights, which ended in 2017, but some other international carriers continue to fly it, including the German airline Lufthansa.
The final customer is Atlas Air, which ordered four 747 -- 8 freighters early this year. The last was to roll out of Boeing's massive factory in Everett, Washington, on Tuesday night.
Boeing's roots are located in the Seattle area, and it has assembly plants in Washington state and South Carolina. In May, the company announced that it would move its headquarters from Chicago to Arlington, Virginia.
The move to the Washington, D.C. area puts its executives closer to federal government officials and the Federal Aviation Administration, which certifies Boeing passenger and cargo planes.
Boeing's relationship with the FAA has been strained since the fatal crashes of its best-selling plane, the 737 Max, in 2018 and 2019. The FAA took nearly two years — much longer than Boeing expected — to approve design changes and allow the plane back in the air.

Rand Paul: Anthony Fauci owes apology to 'every single parent and school-age child in America'
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., speaks during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington on June 30, 2020. (Al Drago/Pool Photo via AP) **FILE** more >
By Jessica Chasmar - The Washington Times - Monday, November 30, 2020
Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday that Dr. Anthony Fauci owes an apology to "every single parent and school-age child" in the country after the White House Coronavirus Task Force member said getting children back in school should be a top priority.
"Dr Fauci owes @RandPaul an apology," conservative activist Jack Posobiec tweeted.
"No, he owes one to every single parent and school-age child in America," Mr. Paul, Kentucky Republican, responded.
Biden: Trump wrote me a 'very generous letter'
The comment comes after Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said earlier Sunday that "the default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school or to get them back to school."
"Close the bars and keep the schools open," he said.
Conservatives on social media have been treating Dr. Fauci's comments as a flip-flop, but he has made the same argument in recent weeks. On Nov. 19, he told CNN's Chris Cuomo, "I think one of the things we need to do is to the best of our capability try to keep the kids in school."
But Mr. Paul apparently isn't satisfied. In his criticism of Dr. Fauci on Sunday, the senator shared a June article in which he slammed the doctor and "government experts" as being too powerful.
"Dr. Fauci, every day we seem to hear from you things we can't do. But when you're asked, 'Can we go back to school?'? I don't hear much certitude at all. 'Well, maybe.' 'It depends.' Guess what? It's rare for kids to transmit this. I don't hear that coming from you. All I hear is, 'We can't do this, we can't do that, we can't play baseball,'" Mr. Paul said during a June hearing on COVID-19 response, the New York Post reported.
"If you were listening — and I think you were — to my opening statement and my response to one of the questions, I feel very strongly we need to do whatever we can to get the children back to school. I think we're in lock agreement with that," Dr. Fauci responded at the time.
I told him this multiple times this summer. https://t.co/LspBtxtU6D

"Immigration is a part of every conversation at the dinner table," says Lalo Montoya, Canvas Director for Make the Road Nevada, who is himself one of 700,000 DACA recipients nationwide.
Argelia Rico was 4 months old when her mother brought her and her 1-year-old sister across the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, fleeing domestic abuse in their native Morelia, Michoacán.
Now 26, Rico is a full-time college student in Las Vegas, Nevada, a pre-kindergarten teaching assistant, a one-on-one tutor for children with autism, and a single mother to spunky 6-year-old Lily. She is no different from a lot of hopeful young Americans — except that she isn't documented.
What keeps her from deportation is former President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which allows her to work and live in the country legally on renewable two-year permits. Without DACA, she could not go to school, work or even drive legally in the U.S.
"Everything is talked about for a few months, then it just slowly dies down, sadly," Rico told VOA.
If the incoming Congress can't agree on a permanent solution, the Supreme Court would likely weigh in on the program. The high court's further tilt to the right with the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh does not bode well for DACA, according to some immigration rights advocates.
"Our generation — we need to make change happen," Rico insisted.
"[DACA recipients] thought they were playing by the rules, only to find out now that the rules are changing," said John Tuman, a professor of political science at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
In Tuman's estimation, DACA and other immigration issues likely will pose a liability to Republicans and boost turnout for Democrats in Nevada, where one in six residents is native-born with at least one immigrant parent.
Nationwide, nearly one in four Latino registered voters listed "protecting immigrant rights" as the most important election issue in 2018, according to a recent NALEO Educational Fund/Latino Decisions tracking poll.
Nevadan Latinos find DACA easy to relate to, said Alicia Contreras, interim Nevada state director for Mi Familia Vota ("My Family Votes"), a multistate civic engagement organization.
Among Trump's core base of supporters, and in towns outside of Las Vegas where there is less diversity, voters concerned about illegal immigration and border security are more likely to view DACA negatively.
But such hard-line views don't sit well with the majority of either major party. Nationwide, more than eight in 10 Americans believe DACA recipients should be allowed to stay in the U.S., according to separate CBS News and CNN polls conducted early this year.
"People can really get behind certainty for our dreamers so they can stop living in this limbo and bring more security to our country," Diaz said.
As of August, Diaz's group of 100-plus volunteers had made over 50,000 calls and knocked on nearly a thousand doors. One volunteer, 17-year-old Wilfredo Villeda, is a DACA recipient from El Salvador, whose parents brought him to the U.S. when he was 4.
"When we get someone that wants to answer [our] questions — them listening to us makes me think that people still want to do something about it," Villeda said.
Juárez, whose family crossed from Mexico to El Paso, Texas, when he was 10, said the frustration of being undocumented took hold in his late-teens as he was looking to attend college and worried about a lack of scholarships available to him at public universities.
But as challenges from the right wore on, he was frustrated by a persistent feeling of inability to control his own destiny. He also felt that Democrats — "the Promise Party"— shared some of the responsibility for the dreamers' plight.
Last year, Juárez received an Emmy award for his work at KINC 15, a local Univision affiliate that now broadcasts from El Paso, Texas, for viewers in Las Vegas.
At age 23, TV reporter and DACA recipient Juan Ulises Juárez won his first Emmy.
Standing in front of an audience of multilingual broadcasters wearing a red-accented tuxedo, Juárez spoke up for DACA recipients.
"That story is the story of many others," he later told VOA.
Together, Latinos and younger voters comprise a sizeable portion of Nevada's electorate, but have been especially unreliable in non-presidential years.
Similarly to Rico, Juárez said it's a day-to-day drill reminding would-be voters who might otherwise "get busy" to show up at the polls in November.
"I know people that have our backs and that will support us," Juárez said, assuredly.
Still, "it's important to remember that we're still here," he said.

Brandon Hagel had a pair of goals to lift Red Deer over the host Kootenay Ice.
CRANBROOK, B.C. — Brandon Hagel had a pair of goals to lift Red Deer over the host Kootenay Ice 4-1.
Michael Spacek added a goal and two assists and Evan Polei also scored for the Rebels (27-28-12).
Vince Loschiavo opened the scoring on the power play for Kootenay (14-42-11), which dropped its fifth straight.
With the win, the Rebels stay six points ahead of the Calgary Hitmen — who were also winners Friday — for third place in the Central Division with five games left in the regular season for each team.


Robert Rubin was a key player in keeping Enron afloat while he and his cronies fleeced billions from employees and investors.
Robert Rubin abandoned the Clinton administration when a recession was unavoidable. His relief was his protege, Larry Summers.
Robert Rubin talked the Citigroup board into investing in extremely high-risk mortgage-backed securities. He also showed the bank how to carry those risks off the books--exactly the way he showed Enron how to do it.
Robert Rubin negotiated the Fed's bailout of Citi even as the government refused to help the auto makers.
Robin Rubin installed Larry Summers on Obama's economic council in order to avoid prosecution as the kingpin of Citi's downfall, which should have resulted in Fed takeover and receivership.
There's your list. These are the men and women who brought you to brink of a Great Depression. And now the criminal, slimy thief Robert Rubin is whining and lying to the Wall Street Journal.
Still, Mr. Rubin was deeply involved in a decision in late 2004 and early 2005 to take on more risk to boost flagging profit growth, according to people familiar with the discussions. They say he would comment that Citigroup's competitors were taking more risks, leading to higher profits. Colleagues deferred to him, as the only board member with experience as a trader or risk manager. "I knew what a CDO was," Mr. Rubin said, referring to collateralized debt obligations, instruments tied to mortgages and other debt that led to many of Citigroup's losses.
Disgusting. Yet Rubin is the odd-man out and could be the fall guy for the economic collapse. Unlike the others listed, Rubin remains outside of Obama's inner circle. He's a Goldman Sachs guy, which is not a popular thing to be these days.
Look for some federal prosecutor to make a name for himself by indicting Rubin.

Q: Access to componentParent from this.gridApi.ForEachNode I need to select a default ag grid row based on the selected date which is present in the parent container. I am unable to refer to componentParent or 'this' from inside the node function
this.gridApi.forEachNode(function (node) {
     If(node.data.dueDate
          ===this.parentContainer.selectedDueDate) {
                node.setSelected(true)
    }
});

I get 'this' is undefined error. I am unable to get handle to gridOptions to use
gridOptions.context.componentParent.selectedDueDate

Any hint to get this working will be really appreciated.
Thanks
Sidd

A: you have a typo If(node.data.dueDate === this.parentContainer.selectedDueDate) "If" here letter I its uppercase should be if(node.data.dueDate === this.parentContainer.selectedDueDate)
And also use arrow method instead of function because this is getting scoped to the function, but this has access outside for arrow method
Using the fat arrow method you can do something like:~
this.gridApi.forEachNode(node => {
    if(node.data.dueDate === this.parentContainer.selectedDueDate) {
       node.setSelected(true);
    }
});

or you need to bind(this) with normal function like
this.gridApi.forEachNode(function(node) {
    if(node.data.dueDate === this.parentContainer.selectedDueDate) {
       node.setSelected(true);
    }
}.bind(this));

7 Swim Legends' Pearls of Wisdom
By Heidi Kulicke
It's easy to get discouraged when there's always someone or something better than you. Because unless you're a superhero, there's probably someone who's faster or stronger. But that doesn't mean you should give up! If swimming is what you live for, keep at it and never give up. No matter what anyone else says.
Below are 7 Swim Legends with some advice to keep you going when you feel like giving up. No swim list would be complete without a quote from the one and only Michael Phelps. Is he even human? Not sure, but he sure has some good advice.
1. Michael Phelps (USA) Most Decorated Olympian of All Time with 22 Medals
"I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it."
2. Kieran Perkins (AUS) Gold medalist and former WR holder in the 1500 free, 800 free, 400 free
"Being your best is not so much about overcoming the barriers other people place in front of you as it is about overcoming the barriers we place in front of ourselves…But it does have everything to do with having the vision to dream, the courage to recover from adversity and the determination never to be shifted from your goal."
3. Mark Spitz (USA) Winner of seven gold medals from the 1972 Olympics
"I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not concerned with tomorrow, but with what goes on today. If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail."
4. Natalie Coughlin (USA) Most decorated female swimmer of all time
"Without goals, training has no direction."
5. Missy Franklin (USA) Gold medalist and World Record holder
"Sometimes we complain, but there is something beautiful about waking up before everyone to get better at what we love."
6. Alicia Coutts (AUS) 2012 Olympic Gold Medalist
"Success isn't final, failure isn't fatal, it's courage that counts."
7. Ryan Lochte (USA) Gold medalist and WR holder in the 200 and 400 IM
"Have fun, because that's what life is all about."
Couldn't have said it better myself, Ryan! What are some of your favorite quotes? Share in the comments below!
Treading Tricks: How to Last Longer and Stronger

For less than 300 pounds it is possible thanks to Datacolor and its SpyderPRINT tested on this page to calibrate its printer when the competition is at least 400 pounds. But what is this spectrocolorimeter worth at a time when this so-called competition uses a "real" spectrophotometer?
Purchase note! The SpyderPrint can be purchased individually or included in the Spyder5Studio case.
The SpyderPRINT 5.0 basic kit is sold with the 1005 spectrophotometer - the same as in the previous kit - and of course its guide plate for reading colored patches.
Note! It should be noted that this kit is also available in the Spyder5Studio case. This also includes the SpyderCube and the current high-end Datacolor colorimeters for screen calibration, I named the latest and excellent Spyder5Elite released in spring 2015, both under test on this site.
A calibration sensor that is a spectrophotometer and not a spectrophotometer, significantly or much more expensive!
A USB cable (2.0) rather long.
My opinion on the quality of the whole thing! The quality of the materials is to be noted as well as the finishing of the whole. All the accessories are very pleasant to handle, touch and hold. Only the sliding of the Spyder on its guide lacks fluidity. The coatings have a velvety appearance, as sometimes found on some mobile phones. It's obviously a detail but it's very pleasant.
Measuring instrument: The 1005 spectrophotometer.
SpyderPRINT 5.0 software: quite easy to use and well documented.
Possibility to create an ICC profile based on the L-Star curve which allows, among other things, but this is what interests us here to better brighten shadows (also a little larger gamut).
A guide for more comfortable reading of colored patches.
9 choices of test charts for all situations: color, B&W.
Let's start by installing the software and the calibration device, the easiest way in the world!
Reminder: a new paper = a new calibration = a new ICC profile!
Each time a parameter is changed, a new ICC profile must be created. However, if you replace an ink cartridge from the same manufacturer as your printer, it is not necessary. I am more cautious about the consistency of ink quality of "generic" or no name manufacturers.
This one is very classic! You download the software from the site indicated on the serial number card. The software is compatible with the latest MAC OS and Windows versions. Nothing particular to say, so! When you click on the application icon, the language detection will now be done automatically and the software will ask you to activate it. To do this, simply connect the calibration device and connect to the Internet to enter your serial number. Datacolor then provides you with a registration number.
To inform you about color management - I hope you have already found everything on this site!
Start the calibration process of a printer/paper pair (inks) and start creating a printer profile.
2 - "Before you begin"
You will now enter the printer/paper pair to be calibrated.
Note that you can run some printing tests to see if you have any clogged nozzles.
You can choose to print the test charts or select an existing file to improve it. I imagine you're going to select "Print and measure a target".
You have 9 possibilities! I will try to guide you even if I will not try the 9 possibilities to compare!
1 - 1 - Choose the number of patches and the type of test charts (color calibration and/or B&W) - To make it short and according to the official Datacolor documentation, 225 patches are usually enough. More complex test charts are there to adapt or solve a particular problem on a special paper for example or for a Black & White work.
My recommendations! I would be tempted to tell you to try it with 225 color patches and bring out the heavy artillery if you're not satisfied. For purists, it is better to print the 729 patches directly because printer calibration is not often done, unless you change paper type often. If you are printing in black and white, choose the option 225 colors + 225 black and white.
If you just want to choose between several papers, just use the 225 test charts page to make your first selection and then refine when you have chosen your favorite paper.
But before printing the test charts you will immediately set up an important option in the software preferences: SpyderPrint Menu > Preferences. There you will absolutely check an empty button by default: "Use the L-Star process". This will allow you to obtain slightly lighter and more detailed shadows and a significantly larger gamut. Not much, but it's going in the right direction. That's the whole point of a L-Star curve.
2 - Start printing... - Here, the choices in the printer configuration will be very important!
Attention! As every time a test chart is printed, the choice of printing options in the printer driver is very important for the success of patch measurement and therefore creation. To do this, DO NOT CLICK on the "Print..." button because you cannot disable all the color management of your printer through this menu. Your test chart would be printed with an embedded profile and your profile completely distorted. You must use the Adobe software: Adobe Color Printer Utility. This software was created by Adobe on purpose.
Since Photoshop CS5! Since Photoshop has been upgraded to CS5, a printing option has disappeared. However, this option allowed us to print our printer calibration charts WITHOUT PROFILE. This is no longer the case but fortunately, Adobe has created a new small Adobe Color Printer Utility software that allows you to print the test chart file live. I describe the process below.
Several calibration and characterization options: screen / projector / scanner and especially printer (color or B&W).
1 - Printer - Choose the printer model from your printers list.
2 - Choose the right paper medium - Choose the one given by the manufacturer when it exists otherwise take the same type from the list. The good manufacturers, and they are few in number, work for several brands! So sometimes there are very large "similarities".
My advice! This choice only determines the inking rate. If you use paper from the printer's brand, your paper will be in the drop-down list. If you use another brand, choose the same type of paper as at Epson in this example. Indeed, all the brands have the "same" paper ranges: Premium gloss, Archival matt, baryta, etc.
4 - Quality - Choose the printing fineness. I create two profiles at 1440 dpi and 2880 dpi but I admit I'm not sure there's a difference when making the ICC profile, but I prefer the shape of the prints printed at 2880 dpi in the sky.
Note! You can also choose the speed without, in my opinion, having an influence on the calibration. But note that I never check "Thinner details" because I have a bug on my 7800 Epson when I print my panoramas in a very large width.
My recommendation! This has nothing to do with what concerns us here but I prefer to print at 2880 dpi because I find the gradients in the skies even more beautiful because they are more shaped! For the finesse of the details, I don't see any difference.
Before printing, make sure you have placed an A4 sheet in your printer!
Start printing, let it dry for at least half an hour and then click on "Next"... not before!
Name the ICC profile so that you can recognize it when you choose it in Photoshop later on. Click on save.
The grayed-out button in field 2 "Reading the target" is then displayed: "Open the sample reading screen". Click on it. A window opens asking you if you want to follow a tutorial. You can request that this message no longer be displayed.
Note that the first line, ready to be read, is surrounded by red.
Attention! Please choose at the bottom right of this page (photo opposite) the type of reading you want to use: "In strip" or "per sample". This determines whether you will make a continuous reading or sample by sample.
After trying both methods, I ended up using the longer method a priori so per sample because I could never get enough reading fluidity and there was always a patch missing! I got tired of it and made it as easy as possible. So it wasn't that long anymore because it works the first time this time!
Finally, if you choose " Split ", each patch will be split in two: real color / read color. This obviously has no impact on the reading process.
When you are finished, click on the button at the very bottom "Close and save" .
Last recommendation! Define a profile name that is easy to identify by using hyphens between words and avoiding spaces and other accents.
On the next page, you can edit your profile ("Advanced Editing") or print a test run. We will do it directly from Photoshop.
Be careful twice! In "Advanced Editing", do not use the color correction sliders otherwise there is no point in making an ICC profile! Colorimetric defects are never linear! The only thing that might be interesting is to lighten the shadows slightly if you almost always see shadows that are too blocked in relation to your screen.
Finally you create your profile and save it!
Note! The profile is stored in the folder containing all the profiles on your computer.
Finally, I invite you to read my page on printing with Photoshop because this software has many practical features to print correctly with custom ICC profiles. Everything is explained in detail in a step-by-step process. You can also review my page on the calibrating a printer with a calibration kit.
Before answering some of the most common questions I receive about printing profiles, I will make a 3D comparison of several profiles of the same paper/printer pair made with the SpyderPRINT and the high-end i1 Photo Pro 2.
This is the ICC profile of calibrating my Epson 7800 printer with Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. As you can see below, the ICC profile made with the SpyderPRINT 5 (Kit at around 300 dollars) is, in volume and therefore in gamut, smaller, especially in one direction, the blue-green ones than the one made with the superlative i1 Photo Pro 2.
Here is the ICC profile of the calibration of my Epson 7800 printer with Epson Baryté Permajet paper. As you can see below, the ICC profile created with the Colormunki Photo is, in volume and therefore in gamut, very similar to the one created with the new i1 Studio. The differences are anecdotal. The use of the same measuring device but a slightly different software probably explains their similarities.
This is the limit of a more "amateur" oriented solution and therefore of a spectrophotometer rather than a spectrophotometer. If you print very saturated colors, especially blue or blue-green, you would benefit from having your ICC profile done by a professional.
And my impression by comparing real prints and no longer curves.... I am a photographer after all!
I am well aware that we don't see much, it's just there to illustrate my test! Now, you have to take my word for it or come and see me in Auvergne!
a) What about the shadows?
But as always, the darker parts are more difficult to highlight depending on the lighting environment in which you are going to make this comparison. It is not for nothing that professionals use precise visualization standards and therefore cabins with standard lighting. This does not make much sense - although not without interest - for a club or an amateur or even professional photographer who therefore do not expose a priori in a cabin! Let's say that by comparing the prints under different lights it appears that by default, the shadows are a little more obscured than on the screen. But there is a cure!
My recommendation! Before creating your profile, remember to take a look at the software's preferences and tick the box: "Use the L-Star process". It is a gamma curve, even closer to the eye's response than the classic 2.2 curve and has the advantage, in short, of brightening very, very low lights. I refer you to Jean Delmas' book on page 118, especially if you want to know more. Clearly, with this option, you will be really close to your calibrated screen.
b) What about the colors?
c) And the blacks and whites?
The most amusing thing is that when I made my first ICC test profile, I "only" used the 225 simple patches test chart, on a single page. I didn't even use the 450 patch test chart on two sheets with a more specific black and white page and the results are... very good. There is nothing to stop you from looking for more precision, but it may not be necessary.
Q - Do I have to redo my printing profile often?
Q - Do I have to redo my printer profiles (and screens) if I change computers?
A: Not at all! You only redo them if you change the printer, paper or ink quality. The computer only manages the colors. It doesn't transform anything by himself. You recover them well (backup) and simply reinstall them on the new computer.
Q - What is the difference between manufacturers' inks and "generic" inks?
A : Especially in brands renowned for the quality of their "Photo" printers such as Canon, Epson or HP, quality control is rigorous since they work with color professionals (photographers but also shooters, graphic designers, etc.). Consistency in the color quality of their ink is therefore fundamental. Generic" ink manufacturers do not have this requirement because their potential customers are on the side of large accounts that print Excel tables all day long. The color constant of the pie charts is less "fundamental"!
Product perfectly adapted to its audience, i. e. amateurs: in this case I even give 10/10 !
Very little compared to its qualities and considering the target audience!
Very little I tell you!
This is the kind of discovery I like to make for amateurs or clubs! On paper and for a long time (I have been interested in color management since 2002!) Datacolor has the vocation to offer this audience accessible "semi-professional" solutions. Difficult to fully agree so far.... Accessible but not always sufficiently efficient. However, one after the other in 2015, Datacolor released two products that I can recommend: their new sensors including the Spyder5Elite which is integrated into the SpyderStudio 5 suite and this revision of SpyderPRINT 5 also in this case. Whether you buy the Spyder5Studio or SpyderPRINT 5 suitcase separately, I can assure you that you will rediscover your printer! This SpyderPRINT does not dethrone the i1 Studio but mix many test prints on a table and find out who is who, you will be amazed! Few times will you necessarily want the competitor or even more professionally.

If the Divine component would be at the foundation of your words and actions, then they would be filled with the energy of Love.
You'll be surprised how easily it works and how it changes an explosive environment into a friendly one, how an irritation of your companion disappears and friendliness appears instead.
And now I'll explain a mechanism of this practice.
Your sixth chakra and third eye symbolize your Divine principle.
The fifth chakra – your "self-expression" is initially filled with Divine energy of higher vibrations and then it is filtered through your Crystal of Love.
In other words, you speak and act already from the position of Divine being, and Love is the foundation.
That's exactly how the people of Fifth dimension communicate.
You will see a great difference when you are acting and communicating that way.
I bless you, dear ones, for this new experience, which would raise not only you, but your companions to completely new levels of relationships.
