An endless marathon: Bozeman's healthcare workers push by the demands of COVID-19 coronavirus
The nurses put themselves in protective clothing. They are careful about what they touch before and after entering a patient's room.
They shower before work so they don't bring anything to the hospital. They take a shower after work so they don't take anything home.
The days seem longer. They are, in fact, sometimes, with seizures that last up to 14 hours.
Transitions finally end. But then, outside of hospital, the virus remains a major force in nurses' lives.
"It feels like you can't get a rest," said Rebecca Williamson, director of the medical unit at Bozeman Health Deaconess Hospital. "Because no matter where you are, you are connected to all of this in one way or another."
As cases rise again, workers at Bozeman Hospital are feeling the pressures of the epidemic. Williamson runs 110 nurses and works with other department directors in the hospital. She said working there for the past nine months has been the biggest challenge of her life. She said the hospital had enough capacity and great resources, but that the nurses and medical staff were emotionally and physically overwhelmed.
Hospitals in the state and across the country face similar problems, with most regions seeing a rise in virus cases greater than any spike since the pandemic began in March. As health officials continue to urge people to wear masks, social distancing, and wash their hands, health care workers continue to see the mess the disease causes every day at work.
Last week, Montana set a record for the number of people hospitalized in the state due to the virus, said Greg Holzman, the state's chief medical officer.

"The current pressure on public health and our healthcare system at the moment is real," Holzman told a news conference on Thursday. "Health care workers are becoming stressed and public health departments cannot keep track of contact tracing."
Hospital capacity in Gallatin County is hovering around 80% over the past week, according to reports from the state's coronavirus task force. There are a few counties that have reached capacity at some point in the last week or have patients occupy more than 90% of the household.
Meanwhile, nurses at Bozeman Hospital were quarantined because they were considered close contact with an outside-hospital person with the disease.
The hospital's chief nursing officer, Dr. Mark Williams, said the exposure of health care workers to the virus outside of the hospital affects the number of staff available to treat patients in the hospital.
"It's very frustrating for members of our healthcare team to witness the impact of COVID inside a hospital and then go out into the community and see what happens," said Williams, which often appears to be somewhat neglected of personal health and safety. "
This week, hospital officials began requiring asymptomatic employees who would otherwise be quarantined to return to work to keep the hospital running. Health officials said these were not people who had tested positive for the disease. Emergency recruitment is done in coordination with the Gallatin City and County Health Department and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kali Kogawa, who is leading the hospital's COVID efforts, said these employees have been asked to return to the hospital after quarantine for seven days. And if they were prepared, she said, the hospital would take additional measures to prevent infection, including testing and checking symptoms every six hours and having staff eat lunch away from other staff.

Kogawa said the hospital had planned potential recruitment restrictions early in the epidemic.
"We are facing these restrictions a lot at the moment," she said.
Hospital officials said it has the capacity to handle both COVID patients and those not infected with COVID and the team has plans if it reaches its capacity. They urge people to get care as needed. The hospital expansion that was built over the summer helped keep pace with demand.
However, concerns remained about the slight increase in cases in Gallatin County and across the country.
The hospital has enough beds to handle patients, Kogawa said, but it can be very difficult if it doesn't have enough staff to take care of these patients. She said the nurses were burning.
"It's very difficult everywhere for everyone," said Kogawa.
Williamson said it was exhausting for nurses to keep up with the ongoing changes in policy and procedures designed to protect everyone from the virus – there have been 300 changes made in the past nine months. The majority of changes are done in daily practices in the hospital such as collecting samples, preparing for transitions, and keeping COVID patients away from patients without COVID.
"It's not that we had to come up with huge complex changes that everyone has to memorize, but rather that everything normal has changed," she said.
Williamson and other managers check employees frequently, making sure they are comfortable outside of work and allowing people to take time off as needed.
Williamson grew up in Ammon, Idaho. She said she became interested in nursing after seeing first responders helping people involved in farming accidents.

When she was little, she volunteered at a hospital in Idaho Falls and learned she wanted to do more. She became a certified nurse assistant after taking classes in high school. After school of nursing and before moving to Bozeman, Williamson worked as a nurse in the intensive care unit in Salt Lake City, Utah.
She had never imagined she would work through a pandemic, sacrificing long hours away from the family, but she said she was proud of what she does. She said it made her feel like a "team mom", taking care of her staff and keeping them safe and healthy. Sometimes, she'll send the employee a card to let him know she's thinking about him.
Throughout the pandemic, nurses like Williamson have seen the effects of the virus in and out of the hospital "every day, all day."
It's been nine long months. Many nurses went without breaks. And health officials have advised that if we do not respond to the virus now, some of the darker days may be ahead.
"This was a marathon and it wasn't over – there is no end in sight," said Williamson.

The Queen addresses The Royal Lancers at Windsor Castle
Published 5 April 2017
You have established yourselves as a unified Regiment and a force without match
Brigadier Hughes,
I wish it had been possible for the whole Regiment to attend this ceremony, but I am talking as much to those at Catterick as to this representative party.
In the short time since I attended your amalgamation, you have established yourselves as a unified Regiment and a force without match. It gives me much pleasure to present to you your new Guidon.
The Guidon symbolises sacred loyalty to your Sovereign, your country, and to all of the officers and men with whom you serve. Your loyalty and devotion to duty have been tested over more than three hundred years, and never found to be wanting. Acts of bravery and skill-at-arms run through your regimental history, and many of your most famous feats are recalled here, carried on this Guidon.
To mark my 70th anniversary as your Colonel in Chief I should like to grant you a further distinction – that of an honorific suffix to The Royal Lancers – Queen Elizabeths' Own - in recognition of your loyal service to me and to my mother, Queen Elizabeth.
I entrust this Guidon to your care, confident that the Officers, Non Commissioned Officers and Men of The Royal Lancers will maintain the same high standards as your forebears. I pray that God's blessing will go with you.

"Treasury Funds Rupavahini Salary Bill Of Rs. 40 Million Per Month: My Attempts To Revive Institution Thwarted By President": Ruwan Wijewardena
Media Minister Ruwan Wijewardena said the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation (SLRC) is now running at a loss and his attempts to revise the state-run TV stations have been thwarted by President Maithripala Sirisena.
"Through Treasury, tax payers have been funding SLRC's salary bill of Rs 40m per month. For months I've been trying to change the management but was obstructed by the President. The latest attempt resulted in @MaithripalaS gazetting SLRC under his purview," Wijewardena tweeted.
Last night, President Sirisens issued a Gazette notification amending the functions of the Ministry of Mass Media and placing the SLRC under the Ministry of Defence.
With this move, the SLRC comes under the direct purview of President Sirisena.
This is the first time in history that the SLRC has been placed under the Ministry of Defence, which has no relation to the functions of mass media.

Imelda Marcos birthday party turns sour as people get sick en masse
Sarah AliJuly 3, 201900
Imelda Marcos birthday party turns sour as more than 250 people get sick. While celebrating the 90th birthday of socialite Imelda Marcos, the wife of the late Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos, more than 250 people fell ill after eating an allegedly contaminated meal.
About 2,500 friends and supporters of Imelda Marcos had gathered for the occasion of her birthday party in a stadium in Manila but hundreds of guests had to be evacuated by ambulance, according to the Philippine Red Cross.
Ferdinand Marcos was ousted in 1986 after having ruled the archipelago with an iron fist for over 20 years, but the family has achieved a remarkable political comeback in recent years.
"Our ambulances transported people to the hospital when they complained of dizziness and vomiting, apparently they had been victims of food poisoning," Richard Gordon, president of the Red Cross, told AFP.
Imelda Marcos birthday party turns sour
According to Health Minister Francisco Duque, 260 people fell ill during the party, where meals were distributed in plastic containers and bottles of water named after the dictator's widow.
There was no information that the guest of honor was among the victims.
In November, Ms. Marcos was convicted of corruption in a case arising from her husband's reign, marked by serious human rights violations and charges of embezzling billions of dollars of state funds.

She faces a heavy prison sentence but is at liberty pending appeal. In this case, Ms. Marcos and her husband, who died in Hawaii in 1989, are accused of embezzling about 200 million dollars through Swiss foundations.
The Marcos managed to return to the spheres of power after their fall. The widow has just completed a term in Congress. His son Ferdinand Marcos Junior narrowly lost the vice presidency in 2016, but held a senatorial chair.
The family found themselves a powerful ally in the person of the current president Rodrigo Duterte, who ordered that the remains of the dictator be transferred to the Heroes' Cemetery of the capital.

Pilot > Flying > Training & Technique
Military Flying
Crown copyright 2013 - Credit: Archant
Flying for the military can be a very rewarding career.
Chances are you dream of flying a fast jet. Maybe you imagine what it's like to fire a missile or drop laser-guided bombs or patrol a no-fly zone? If you do then flying fast jets is a huge attraction for those looking to join the military. Don't rule out the other aircraft types on offer, though. You only have to watch the news to see what kind of missions our military pilots are involved in – and often it's the low-level helicopter sorties, not the one in jets, that offer the most exhilarating flying. Even piloting a military transport plane, perhaps to rescue people from a war zone or on humanitarian missions, can be just as rewarding.
Military flying pay (from £35,000 after training) might not match commercial pilot rates, but you'll have unmatched stories and experiences to share with others from your career. Where the military beats the civilian route to become a pilot is that you don't have to pay for your training and you follow a program of continuous development that's second to none. But, of course, you have to accept the military lifestyle and the prospect of going to war. And, while the RAF might be the initial focus of your enquiries, the Army Air Corps and the Fleet Air Arm offer fantastic flying opportunities too. The actual numbers of pilots that are recruited each year varies and competition is fierce, but don't let that put you off – someone has to fly their aircraft. You just have to convince the selection boards that it should be you.
The Fleet Air Arm is flying arm of the Royal Navy. It operates helicopters, mainly Lynx, Merlin and Sea King from two bases at Yeovilton and Culdrose. As a pilot you'll find yourself flying search and rescue missions, carrying troops and supplies between ships and the land or supporting Royal Marine Commandos. Pilots flying the Lynx are trained to fire off the Sea Skua anti-surface missile and the Sting Ray torpedo; an effective depth charge against submarines.
Compared with the other services, the Army has a strict policy that it's aircrew are soldiers first and pilots second. In the Army Air Corps you could end up flying anything from Islanders and Defenders to helicopters such as the Gazelle, Lynx or the Apache. Short Service Commissions of eight years in length are offered to Officer Cadets who make it through the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, but the real beauty of the AAC is that you can join the army as a regular soldier first. Provided you hold the rank of Lance Corporal and have been recommended and qualified for promotion to Corporal, you can apply for a four-year flying tour. At the end of the flying training and on the award of your Wings, soldiers are promoted to Sergeant and re-badged as AAC pilots.
Although the Royal Air Force has seen drastic cuts in the number of aircraft, it still requires pilots for a large mix of types in the years to come. Frontline fighter aircraft are now made up of squadrons of Tornado GR4s and Typhoons (with the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter expected in the future). Transport aircraft like the Hercules and the huge C-17A Globemaster need flying and so will the new A400M and the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft when they come into service. Like the Army and Navy there are also many helicopter pilot roles in the RAF, but there are also some light jets available to fly too.

Q: Zoom out by scrolling in a testcafe test I have a map in my angular application OpenLayers map.
During the test using testcafe, I have to zoom out, but I have no way how to do that.
I only have to put my mouse at the center of the screen, and then scroll down to zoom out.
Already tried using ClientFunction with scrollBy and etc but nothing happens in map.
Thank you

A: Find out on which element the handler you need hangs and what event it listens to. This is most likely a 'mousewheel' event. This should help you:
const zoom = ClientFunction(zoomSize => {
    const event = new WheelEvent('wheel', { deltaY: zoomSize });
    document.querySelector('#zommed-element').dispatchEvent(event);
});

Fan-made remakes and game demos that you should try
Sometimes, fans go out and try remake a game they love. When they don't get slapped with cease-and-decists, the resulting game can actually be quite good.
Unironic enthusiasm tempered with skepticism and existential dread. Browncoat. Nerdfighter. Editor-at-large for MyBroadband.

Nadeem Phileman, Jan Vermeulen
Sometimes, fans go out and try remake a game they love. Whether for the sake of nostalgia, to bring it into the modern age, to rectify issues the original developers never cared about, or even just to introduce a new generation to their favourite franchises.
When they don't get slapped with cease-and-decists, the resulting game can actually be quite good.
Here are a few of the ones that are worth trying out.
Sonic '06 (AKA Project 06), created by ChaosX
The 2006 release of Sonic the Hedgehog is being completely remade, from scratch, in Unity.
This demo was born out of a lack of a PC port and the fact that is a bug-fest on consoles. It is pretty good in its current state and, surprisingly, hasn't been shuttered like most fan made titles (yet).
Let's hope this one gets completed.
Download (Project 06)
The full history and origin of this demo can be found on DSOGaming and ResetEra.
As best I could piece together, this was apparently the code for a fan-made HD remake of the original Mortal Kombat. While ED Boon endorsed the fan project and wanted to see it released, Warner Brothers pushed back and had the project shelved. Instead of helping this HD remake to market the publisher released the MK Arcade Collection, which ended up being pretty crappy ports of the arcade originals.

Tomb Raider: The Dagger of Xian, created by Nicobass
A modern recreation of the first level from Tomb raider 2 — The Great Wall. It was built by Nicobass using unreal Engine 4
This is one impressive vertical slice (that's industry lingo for "proof of concept").
Nicobass created it as an online CV, to show the industry what he is capable of. It's a pity he doesn't have any intention of recreating the entire game, considering how good this is.

Castlevania: The Lecard Chronicles 2, created by Mig Perez and Jeffrey Montoya
This remake is famous among fan-made games for its gorgeous music performance, the miracle reunion of official Castlevania game voice actors, and its well presented overall atmosphere.
Oh, and did I mention it was officially endorsed by Konami? Can you imagine!

Black Mesa, by Crowbar Collective
The gold standard of fan remakes.
Black Mesa began its life as a free modification for Half-Life 2, to bring the original Half-Life to Valve's new Source engine in all its glory.
As the project grew, the group behind the mod formed a studio called the Crowbar Collective. On 5 May 2015, Black Mesa was released as a stand-alone title through the Steam Early Access programme.
This initial commercial launch of the remake excluded the last chapter of Half-Life — the area known as Xen.
Many players regarded Xen as the weakest part of the original Half-Life, and the developers of Black Mesa said that they wanted to make Xen a fun and cohesive experience from start to finish:
We want our version of Xen to feel like it really belongs with the rest of the game in terms of mechanics, cohesion and progression. But we also want to push the boundaries and explore this unique and varied setting; to build an experience that feels both fresh and familiar to players from all walks of Half-Life veterancy. While our Xen is certainly going to be gorgeous, we are first and foremost really committed to making sure that the gameplay works on every level.
Crowbar Collective's version of Xen was pushed out to Black Mesa at the end of 2019, and the game is preparing to leave Early Access with a beta for its 1.0 release.

Pansari group has been expanding at a fast pace adding new product lines to its portfolio. As a result, there has been a constant requirement of new talent for all functions and levels.
Over time, different places were used for posting jobs which resulted in a high volume of resumes coming in.
Talent Acquisition team was constantly getting challenged as expanding product lines and job functions led to a divergent information flow over normal channels of email and folders.
Good candidates were often being lost due to delays in different processes of recruitment.
Vijay Agarwal, Director remarks "It was very clear to us that we needed to have a good platform for Talent Acquisition in place if we needed to meet our business plans and projections".
The HR team was therefore looking for a solution to implement the complete process which also was extensible for our future needs.
The team shortlisted 3 solutions, and later zeroed-in on Talenture as their recruitment platform to address all parts of the process.
The most immediate change that the team saw was the smooth information flow and faster decision making. Also the active involvement of all stake holders led to a better quality of hires. Another improvement which was seen was higher acceptance of offers due to a better perception of the corporate processes by the applicants.
The decision making on candidates was faster by 30% due to full information availability to all stake holders.
Pansari is now very clear that going in for Talenture as an end-to-end solution was one of the key decisions it took in its business journey of growth in recent times.

Portal to Hell Tycoon opens
New Web site for Anarchy Entertainment's devilish sim welcomes visitors.
By Tim Surette on June 7, 2006 at 9:37AM PDT
Tycoon games have come in all types of endeavors. Those with their eyes set on upper-management positions can run amusement parks, zoos, and even lemonade stands. Anarchy Entertainment, creator of such PC business sims as Coffee Tycoon, Moon Tycoon, and Deep Sea Tycoon, is heating things up in its next game. Fittingly on 6/6/06, the company has opened the gates to the official Web site (may not be suitable for minors) for Hell Tycoon. The game pits players into the cloven hooves of the netherworld's ruler, with the task being to get Hell back in shape and keep the tortured souls screaming for all of eternity. The site introduces some of the game's celebrity parody characters and offers visitors a chance to sign up for the Hell Tycoon newsletter. The game's release date has also been updated and will now be released "before Hell freezes over."

Vintage 19th c. marbled paper, Shell on Shell pattern. From UW: "The Shell pattern's creation dates back to sometime near the end of the 18th century in France. This pattern is created in a similar way to a Turkish pattern. Once the desired colors have been chosen they are mixed with oil before being sprinkled onto the bath. The addition of the oil in the color causes the characteristic white outline to appear and the pigment to become darker towards the center of the drop. In this case the first Shell pattern is completed, then the artist chose to add another color which was also mixed with oil causing the first drops to constrict, forming veins. The primary colors for this example are blue and brown." Scan of 2 d image in the public domain believed to be free to use without restriction in the US.

Vintage 18th c. marbled paper, Spanish on Turkish with Shell veins pattern. 18th century. From UW: "The pattern is created by first making a Shell pattern. Then in the typical Turkish pattern manner, one or more colors is dropped onto the bath, causing the Shell pattern to constrict, isolating it into veins. As the paper is laid onto the bath to pull up the pattern, it is agitated back and forth in the manner used for any Spanish pattern, causing the characteristic gradated lines to appear. The primary colors for this example are black and brown." Scan of 2 d image in the public domain believed to be free to use without restriction in the US.

Whichever of those colors is picked to be the final color dropped or at least the most dominate color to be included is the one which would be mixed with oil before being sprinkled onto the bath. The addition of the oil in the color causes the characteristic white outline to appear and the pigment to become darker towards the center of the drop.

Times slams Obama on ethanol
In an article implicitly critical of the biofuel, the paper explores Barack Obama's position on it and his ties to the industry.
Published June 23, 2008 8:19PM (EDT)
In a big article printed Monday, the New York Times' Larry Rohter took a critical look at Barack Obama's position on ethanol and his connections to the industry that produces it.
"Obama is running as a reformer who is seeking to reduce the influence of special interests. But like any other politician, he has powerful constituencies that help shape his views," Rohter wrote. "And when it comes to domestic ethanol, almost all of which is made from corn, he also has advisers and prominent supporters with close ties to the industry at a time when energy policy is a point of sharp contrast between the parties and their presidential candidates."
Truth be told, Rohter didn't actually show that much in the way of a connection between Obama and the ethanol industry. He named only two specific links. One was former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, who's on the board at three ethanol companies and is something of a mentor to Obama. The other connection is Jason Grumet, who's Obama's lead advisor on energy and environmental issues. Grumet came from the National Commission on Energy Policy, which Rohter notes has been associated with Daschle and also with former Sen. Bob Dole, a big ethanol supporter -- but that's not really an industry connection, and there are plenty of people besides Daschle and Dole involved in the NCEP.
That said, though, the merits of Obama's position on ethanol -- which he supports -- are questionable. The production of corn ethanol actually requires fossil fuels right now, and it doesn't provide that big of a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. (In fact, burning corn ethanol may even generate more greenhouse gases than burning regular fuel does, as there's also the emission from the increased use of fertilizer to be considered.) Then there's the question of rising food prices as a consequence of the increased production of corn ethanol, and the water used to grow the corn and a whole bunch of other concerns that make the biofuel seem more and more like a bad idea that's been funded because politicians need votes from corn farmers and their family members, friends and neighbors. Rohter notes briefly that Obama has recently focused on cellulosic ethanol, which holds much more potential as a viable substitute for fossil fuels. But, as Rohter points out, large-scale production of cellulosic ethanol is still a way off, and it isn't yet economically viable.
Separately, the Washington Post's Alec MacGillis looked at one quote that Jason Furman, the Obama campaign's new economic policy director, gave the Times. Furman said that Obama's position on ethanol is based on the merits of the fuel. "That is what has always motivated him on this issue, and will continue to determine his policy going forward," Furman said. But as MacGillis notes, that hasn't always been Obama's stated rationale. In April, Obama said, "Look, I've been a strong ethanol supporter because Illinois ... is a major ethanol producer."

LGBT Film and Art Festival
Home » LGBT Film and Art Festival
The Newfest is held annually at the film society of Lincoln Center and is New York's premier LGBT Film and Art Festival. The festival was launched in 1988 and is a great channel for the LGBT artistic community to have their work displayed. Last year the event took place from July 24-29, 2014.
Many of the films shown center around issues of social change and advocacy, Kristin Pepe Outfest's director of programming notes that "in the year following spectacular LGBT civil rights advances across the country the dynamic and fresh slate of 2014 NewFest films decisively demonstrates that artists and storytellers lead the charge in creating social change".
Many of the screenings last year took place at the Walter Reade Theater (144 W 65th St. )
Recently Newfest has merged with Outfest (an LGBT Organization dedicated to promoting equality through the arts) to become 1 organization which means next year's LGBT Film and Art Festival will be bigger than ever. By combining Outfest and Newfest the two organizations now have greater resources that will further reach and impact a broader audience.
Top films that debuted at the 2014 festival include The Way He Looks, which debuted at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival and is an upbeat coming of age story. The screening was followed by a Q&A session with director Daniel Ribeiro,
In NYC there isn't a shortage of sports to catch LGBT films and just because there isn't an LGBT film festival happening, doesn't mean there aren't great options to watch films of the genre. This is NY, after all The Chelsea Classics film series is a weekly series held at the Clerview Chelsea Cinemas (260 West 23rd St. between Seventh and Eighth Avenues) on Wednesdays ( 2 shows one at 7 p.m. and the 2nd at 9:30 p.m.) which shows campy films like Priscilla and Queen of the Desert. There is a pre-show hosted by famed drag queen Hedda Lettuce. There is a monthly LGBT Film series at the IFC Center (323 Sixth Avenue at West Third Street) that is curated by progressive film akers and often involves a Q&A after the film.

Are cloud-based record banks superior to HIEs for data sharing?
by Dan Bowman |
Health information exchanges, as currently constructed, are an "inefficient" means of sharing healthcare data due to interoperability issues, according to a commentary published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Association. A better solution--according to authors Edward Shortliffe of Arizona State University, Latanya Sweeney of Harvard University and William Yasnoff of consulting firm National Health Information Infrastructure Advisors--would be to use cloud-based health record banks that could allow patients more control over their information.
The authors called current systems "institution-centric," adding that such an approach to sharing data is "complex," "expensive" and "prone to errors."
"The problem is that health IT is on the wrong path," the authors said. "The current approach involves trying to use HIT to replicate existing manual process for contacting other clinicians or healthcare organizations to get patient records instead of creating a single, unified record for each patient, as has been done for years with paper records within single hospitals and clinics."
Yasnoff, in an interview with MedPage Today, said that nationwide cloud-based communities would increase scalability for the sharing of patient information.
In a paper recently published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, Nitesh Chawla, Ph.D., from the University of Notre Dame's department of computer science and engineering, explored use of Amazon's Virtual Private Cloud for creating a HIPAA-compliant environment suitable for conducting research. Chawla concluded that the prototype he and his colleagues developed could be used in a HIPAA-compliant manner, adding that cloud computing has the capability to speed up research efforts.
Still, security concerns about proprietary data and applications persist, as evidenced by a recent survey conducted by technology vendor CDW published last month. The survey found that out of eight industries, healthcare ranked seventh in terms of cloud adoption.

Q: How to conveniently update authorized_keys file using newer (preferred) ssh key, and remove deprecated key The use case is that I have an 1024-bit RSA key which I have used for many years to access many remote servers.
(1024 bits is not considered strong enough.  Current best practice as of 2022 suggests RSA should have at least 2048 bits).
So, I want to stop using it (don't want to load it into my ssh-agent), and instead use my newer ED25519 key.
Because I could be doing this for 50+ remote accounts, I don't want to have to manually

*

*load my deprecated key into ssh-agent

*try to remember how to use ssh-copy-id to copy a specific key

*manually remove the old key from the remote server

*figure out how to remove the deprecated key from ssh-agent (you'd think ssh-add -d or -D would do this?! See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/330569/ssh-add-d-refused-to-remove-identity)

Instead, I want a way to do this conveniently, kind of like a beefed-up replacement of "ssh-copy-id".

A: I wrote the following script to handle this, which I call ssh-update-key.
It loads my deprecated key into ssh-agent temporarily, then uses ssh-copy-id to copy the preferred key.  Then uses some awk/sed to remove the deprecated key from the remote server.
# Filename: ssh-update-key

# Instructions:
# Set the two variables below (deprecated_key, preferred_key).
# Invoke using: ssh-update-key account@someserver.com

### Configuration

# Create ~/.ssh/deprecated directory and move your deprecated key (private and pub) into there.  Then set this variable.
deprecated_key=id_rsa

# Set this variable to your preferred key.  Should be located in ~/.ssh
preferred_key=id_ed25519

### Script

# create symlink, so that ssh-agent will find and load the deprecated key
# (this happens automatically for me on Ubuntu 20.04)
(cd ~/.ssh &&
ln -s deprecated/$deprecated_key . &&
ln -s deprecated/$deprecated_key.pub .
)

# copy the preferred key to the remote server
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/$preferred_key "$@"

# now remove symlinks (only if they are symlinks - don't want an accident)
(cd ~/.ssh &&
 [ -L $deprecated_key ] && rm $deprecated_key &&
 [ -L $deprecated_key.pub ] && rm $deprecated_key.pub
)
# ssh-agent does not reliably remove keys if the files are removed.
# kill it to make sure.  For me on Ubuntu 20.04 it respawns automatically.
killall ssh-agent

# Now remove deprecated key from remote authorized_keys file
# the awk regex escapes / characters which would otherwise mess up sed.
ssh "$@" -o PasswordAuthentication=no "sed -i.bak '/$(awk '{gsub(/\//, "\\/"); print $2}' ~/.ssh/deprecated/$deprecated_key.pub)/d' ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

I've created a gist for this.  Feedback/forks/improvements welcome.

The Cobblers travelled to Corby on a bright warm evening to contest the Northamptonshire Football Association's Maunsell Cup Final.
New signing JJ Hooper had agreed a contract earlier in the afternoon and partnered David Moyo in attack, both of whom enjoyed opportunities running at the opposition, and it was on 19 minutes that the scoring was opened. Moyo held the ball up well and played it into the path of Hooper who travelled into the area before applying a clinical finish across the keeper into the bottom corner. Almost straight from the restart Moyo nearly doubled the lead, but was unlucky to see his header rebound off the bar and cleared away to safety.
Former Cobblers keeper Paul Walker was kept busy and did well turn a Hooper free kick round the post just prior to the break and in the final action of the half a Corby free-kick from the edge of the area crashed into the wall and was cleared.
The second half got underway without any prior substitutions, although the Cobblers did have concern shortly afterwards when Connor Roberts required lengthy treatment following a heavy challenge from Moreman, thankfully he was able to continue.
Corby found an equaliser on 69 minutes, when Moreman skipped past the challenges of Artell and Roberts to send in a low cross, which gave Shariff a close range opportunity to slot home at the far post. The Steelmen looked to capitalise whilst the team regrouped following the changes and had a period of momentum that was well defended.
Ivan Toney regained the lead for the Cobblers on 84 minutes when he rose highest to head home an in swinging Cadogan corner and on 88 minutes Demontagnac created an excellent chance driving at the Corby defence, but his left foot effort was well saved by Walker.
Triliast Kieran Cadogan finished the scoring on the final whistle, as Ivan Toney broke away and unselfishly squared the ball to the trialist to slot home with Walker stranded.

A panic attack is a sudden feeling of a very strong fear and discomfort that brings a series of psychological and somatic symptoms.
People experiencing a panic attack have a feeling that something horrible is going to happen, they are confident that they will immediately crash or will die on the spot, that they will lose control of themselves or that they will become insane and not know what they'll be doing.
Panic attacks can last from 5 minutes to half an hour more rarely. When panic attack happens people think that they are physically in danger. Of course this fear is unrealistic, but people experience it very realistically.
For a person experiencing a panic attack, it's really frightening event (especially the first panic attack), so it is no wonder that people think that something really bad is going to happen.
After a panic attack a person is very exhausted and confused, because the panic attack itself is very exhausting for the body.
What actually happens during a panic attack?
People having panic attack have their autonomic nervous system very easily activated with its "fight or flight" mechanism that nature has given us. Something similar to when you are in the jungle and a lion jumps in front of you, that moment would activate the "fight or flight" mechanism and you would start to flee or fight . This is what happens during a panic attack, just that you are not chased by the lion and there is no real danger.
What to do when you get panic attack?
I know exactly how the people feel when they experience a panic attack. I also know that such people are searching for the best possible solution to avoid getting a panic attack.
• Remind yourself that the panic attack is totally harmless! A panic attack will pass and you'll be fine.
• Count backwards from 100 as fast as possible and repeat it .
• Splash your face with cold water! This stimulates your brain that the body sends a message to slow down.
• Listen to your favorite music loud and sing along with it.
• Solve math problems, or anything else that occupies the mind .
• Tell yourself that it's just a feeling, that feeling has never hurt anyone.
• Watch funny videos on the TV and laugh out loud.
• Do not look in the mirror!
• Go to the fridge and eat some food.
• At night , get up out of bed , turn on the TV , have a drink , eat an apple , and thus divert the mind.
• Talk to someone, but do not talk about anxiety or panic attacks.
• Do something physical, if you can.
• Do not sit! Keep moving.
Remember, your goal is to occupy the mind with something else during a panic attack. Recognize that these are just thoughts and nothing else! Everything starts in your head and causes a panic attack .
You can use anything that will fully occupy the mind as sabotage tactics. Try to choose some activities that involve movement so that you improve breathing and circulation.
When you pass a panic attack and when you have time, read the article about how to stop panic attacks forever here.


MONTREAL (Reuters) - Airline fuel efficiency on transatlantic flights has improved by one percent a year since 2014 as carriers modernized their fleets, but the industry still lags its own climate goals, according to a study released on Wednesday by the International Council on Clean Transportation.
But the study's findings were challenged later Wednesday by an aviation industry group which argued that carriers are actually ahead of their targets.
According to the ICCT study, the industry's average fuel efficiency, as measured by how much fuel is used to transport passengers, improved to 34 passenger kilometers per litre of fuel from 33 between 2014 and 2017 as carriers opted for modern aircraft with lower fuel burn and operated fuller planes.
"Rankings of airline efficiency based on assumptions and modelled estimates are not a useful tool for either the public or policymakers, as they present an inaccurate picture of the operation," Dodd said.
"New policies to accelerate investments in more fuel-efficient aircraft and operations are critical if industry is to meet its long-term climate goals," said Dan Rutherford, aviation program director for the ICCT, a U.S.-based independent non-profit research organization.
According to the study, budget carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA (NWC.OL) was ranked first of 20 transatlantic carriers for fuel efficiency, while British Airways, part of the International Airlines Group (ICAG.L), came in last.
British Airways on Wednesday said its fuel efficiency per passenger "appears lower," because on such routes the carrier has a "greater share of the premium market," which has fewer seats.

Follow-Up Calls: Always? Or Never?
On the Pongo Blog, we generally recommend following up on a resume submission or an interview with a phone call. Our view on this approach is that it underscores your interest in the position and the company, which could help land the job if it's brief and respectful of the employer's time.
That hit home for me last year when my teenage son filled out an application for a part-time job at a local grocery store. He didn't hear anything for a few days, so he called the hiring manager and, because he followed up, he was hired — over the phone.
But that doesn't work for everyone. In fact, depending on who's on the other end of the phone, following up may not help at all.
Two of my favorite career bloggers — Kerry Sandberg Scott and Alison Green, both hiring professionals — come down squarely on the side of "don't call us, we'll call you." That's not surprising since they have, no doubt, received far more than their share of follow-up calls during their careers.
Kerry, in fact, was emphatic in her views in this recent post:
"It's really about understanding that the key variable in getting a job is being the right person for the job. It's not about being the most attention-seeking candidate."
She adds: Even if you really are the right person for the job, but "… the person on the other end is an idiot who wouldn't know talent if it bit her in the ass, she's unlikely to appreciate the fact that you're essentially pointing that fact out to her."
Alison, who endorsed Kerry's views, took aim earlier this month at job seekers who ignore the "no calls please" phrase that accompanies some job postings:
"If I say 'no calls,' I mean no calls. I'm not just testing applicants to see who will take the initiative to call anyway. …
"But, on the other hand, many employers are unorganized, don't necessarily mean what they say, and are more likely to answer their phone … I've heard from plenty of people who called an employer to follow up on their application and had an interview scheduled on the spot. These employers are reinforcing bad behavior and ruining it for the rest of us …"
But others swear by the "go ahead and ask" approach. Author and job search advisor Kevin Donlin recently opined: "What's the worst that can happen if you call and ask an employer to meet? They say no."
If it's because there are other, better candidates, then fine. Pick up and move on. If you are qualified yet get a vague brush-off, think twice about sending them another resume again.
What about you? If you've tried to boost your chances of getting hired by following up with a phone call, were you ignored more than you were acknowledged? Or the other way around? Tell us about it.

Q: Find a normal vector onto the line How can I find normal vector on the given line. For example if I have a line $3x - 5y = 1$, what would be the normal vector of this line? I am not sure whether it's useful or not, but we have one more random point on the line perpendicular to the given line, $P = (3,-2)$.
Point $P$ is just a random point onto the other line, not a intersecting point.

A: A normal vector of a 2-dimensional line will have the direction vector of an orthogonal line to it.
$$L: 3x-5y=1 \iff y = \dfrac{3}{5}x-\dfrac{1}{5}$$
So any line having slope $-\dfrac{5}{3}$ will be orthogonal to $L$. In other words, all normal vectors to $L$ will be a non-zero multiple of $\langle3,-5\rangle$. In general, a normal to
$$ax+by=c$$
will be a scalar multiple of $\langle a,b\rangle$.
If you're looking for the unique orthogonal line passing through your given $P$ then you use the point in the point-slope equation of a line.
$$y-(-2) = \dfrac{-5}{3}(x-3)$$

A: Any line can be written in the form
$$a(x-x_0)+b(y-y_0)=0$$ and the perpendicular vector is clearly $(a,b)$. So from yor equation you can just read it off, the perpendicular is $(3,-5)$.
