Stolnica v Catanii (italijansko Duomo di Catania, Cattedrale di Sant'Agata), posvečena sveti Agati, je rimskokatoliška stolnica v Catanii na Siciliji v južni Italiji. Bil je sedež katanskih škofov do leta 1859, ko je bila škofija povišana v nadškofijo, od takrat pa sedež katanskih nadškofov.

Zgodovina
Stolnica je bila večkrat uničena in obnovljena zaradi potresov in izbruhov bližnje gore Etna. Prvotno je bila zgrajena v letih 1078–1093 na ruševinah antičnih rimskih Ahilskih term, po ukazu Rogerja I., ki je mesto osvojil od Sicilskega emirata na Siciliji. Takrat je imela videz utrjene cerkve (ecclesia munita).

Leta 1169 ga je potres skoraj v celoti uničil, nedotaknjeno pa je ostalo le območje apside. Dodatno škodo je povzročil požar leta 1169, vendar je bil najbolj katastrofalen potres leta 1693, ki ga je spet pustil večinoma v ruševinah. Kasneje je bila obnovljena v baročnem slogu.

Danes so sledi prvotne normanske zgradbe v delu transepta, dva stolpa in tri polkrožne apside, sestavljene iz velikih kamnov iz lave, večina jih je bila obnovljenih iz cesarskih rimskih zgradb.

Zunanjost
Trenutni videz stolnice izhaja iz dela Giana Battiste Vaccarinija iz leta 1711, ki je po potresu leta 1693 zasnoval novo baročno fasado. Ima tri ravni z korintskimi stebri v granitu, ki so jih morda vzeli iz rimskega gledališča v mestu. Vse ravni so okrašene z marmornatimi kipi; sveta Agata nad vrati, sveti Evplij na desni in sveti Biril na levi. Na glavnih vratih iz lesa je 32 izklesanih plošč z epizodami življenja in mučeništva svete Agate, papeževimi grbi in simboli krščanstva.

Kupola je iz leta 1802. Zvonik je bil prvotno postavljen leta 1387, z višino približno 70 metrov. Leta 1662 je bila dodana ura, struktura je dosegla 90 metrov. Po uničenju leta 1693 je bil obnovljen z dodatkom 7,5 t zvona, tretjega največjega v Italiji za tistim v baziliki svetega Petra in Milanski stolnici.

Do parvisa se dostopa skozi marmornato balustrado okrašeno z 10 bronastimi kipi svetnikov, ki doseže vrhunec v ograji iz kovanega železa. Prostor je od stolničnega trga ločen z ograjo iz belega kamna s petimi velikimi kipi svetnikov iz carrarskega marmorja.

Notranjost
Stolnica ima tloris latinskega križa z glavno in dvema stranskima ladjama. V južni stranski ladji sta krstilnica in na prvem oltarju platno svete Febronije iz Nisibisa, delo Borremansa, ki je na pilastru naslonjena na grob skladatelja Vincenza Bellinija. Tudi na pilastru med to in glavno ladjo je baročni spomenik škofa Pietra Gallettija. Opazna je tudi kapela svete Agate.

Apsida sega v prvotno gradnjo iz 12. stoletja: v njej je srednjeveško okno s krogovičjem in kor poznega 16. stoletja neapeljskega umetnika Scipiona di Guida. Na koncu severnega transepta je kapela Svetega Križa, avtorja Domenica Mazzole (1577). V njem so grobnice članov aragonske veje Sicilije, vključno s kraljem Friderikom III. in Ludvikom, Janezom, vojvodom  Randazzo in Konstanco Aragonsko.

V severni stranski ladji je več slik svetnikov iz 17. stoletja, med njimi tudi Borremansova.

Leonardo Da Vinci was quoted as saying, "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skywards." Holding one of the highest pilot certifications, Craig Sanderson spread his wings upward to serve as director of operations for Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines and mayor of the small but bustling town of Tusayan. Sanderson acquired the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certification at 28 years old. It is one of the most advanced certifications a pilot can obtain and necessary for any pilot wanting to fly commercial airliners, which was Sanderson's intention. However, he had a change of plans. "I learned early on that flying commercial airlines was not my cup of tea," said Sanderson, who flew commercial airline flights for more than a year. "I'd rather fly over beautiful areas such as Lake Powell, Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon." So, that is what he did. "My first job was flying scenic flights for Skywest Airlines based out of Page. The sights are so amazing and I loved sharing that view with people.

Flat triangle in Euclidean geometry are three angles formed by the parties. The values of these angles can be calculated in several ways. Due to the fact that the triangle is one of the simplest figures, there are simple formulas that are even more simplified, if applied to the correct and symmetrical polygons of this kind.
If the known values of two angles of an arbitrary triangle (β and γ), the value of the third (α) can be determined from the theorem about sum of angles in a triangle. She says that this sum in Euclidean geometry is always 180°. That is, for finding the only unknown angle in the triangle vertices subtract from 180° the values of the two known angles: α=180°-β-γ.
If we are talking about a right triangle, to find the values of the unknown acute angle (α) it is enough to know the value of the other acute angle (β). As in this triangle the angle lying opposite the hypotenuse is always equal to 90°, then find the value of the unknown angle subtract from 90° the value of the known angle α=90°-β.
Isosceles triangle is also sufficient to know the value of one of the corners to compute the other two. If you know the angle (γ) between the sides of equal length, to compute both the other angles, find the half of the difference between 180° and the value of the known angle - these angles in an isosceles triangle are equal: α=β=(180°-γ)/2. This implies that if we know the value of one of the equal angles, the angle between the equal sides can be defined as the difference between 180° and the doubled value of the known angle γ=180°-2*α.
If you know the lengths of three sides (A, B, C) in an arbitrary triangle, then the measure of the angle to find the cosine theorem. For example, the cosine of the angle (β) lying opposite the side B, can be expressed as the sum of the squared lengths of the sides A and C, reduced by the squared length of side B divided by twice the product of the lengths of the sides A and C: cos(β)=(A2+C2-B2)/(2*A*C). And to find the measure of an angle, knowing something is equal to its cosine, we need to find it, the ark function, that is the arc cosine. Then β=arccos((A2+C2-B2)/(2*A*C)). Similarly, you can find angles lying opposite the other sides of that triangle.
The triangle is the simplest polygon, bounded on the plane, three points and three segments connecting pairs of these points. The angles in a triangle are acute, obtuse and straight. The sum of the angles in a triangle is constant and equal to 180 degrees.
Basic knowledge in geometry and trigonometry.
Let us denote the lengths of the sides of a triangle a=2, b=3, c=4, and angles u, v, w, each of which lies opposite one of the sides. Cosine theorem the square of the length of the sides of a triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides minus twice the product of these sides into the cosine of the angle between them. That is, a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc*cos(u). Substitute into this expression the lengths of the sides and get: 4 = 9 + 16 - 24cos(u).
Express from the equality cos(u). Will receive the following: cos(u) = 7/8. Then find the actual angle u. To do this, we calculate arccos(7/8). That is, angle u = arccos(7/8).
Similarly, expressing the other side through the other, find the remaining angles.
The value of one angle cannot exceed 180 degrees. Under the sign of the arccos() can not be a number greater than 1 and less than -1.
In order to find all the three angles is not necessary to Express all three sides, you can only find 2 corner, and to the third by subtracting from 180 degrees the values of the other two. This follows from the fact that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is constant and equal to 180 degrees.
The rectangular triangle is characterized by certain relationships between the angles and sides. Knowing the meaning of some of them, you can calculate the other. For this purpose, formula, based, in turn on the axioms and theorems of geometry.
Directlythe coal triangle are the two acute angles, the value of which depends on the lengths of the sides, and one angle is always the same value of 90°. To calculate the size of the acute angle in degrees, using trigonometric functions or theorems about the sum of the angles at the vertices of a triangle in Euclidean space.
Use trigonometric functions, if the conditions of the problem given only the dimensions of the sides of the triangle. For example, the lengths of the two legs (short sides adjacent to the right angle) you can calculate either of the two acute angles. The tangent of the angle (β), which is adjacent to the leg And can be found by dividing the length of the opposite side of him (In the leg) length of side A: tg(β) = B/A. But knowing the tangent, you can calculate and the corresponding value of the angle in degrees. This is a function of the arctangent: β = arctg(tg(β)) = arctg(b/A).
The same equation is possible to find the magnitude of the other acute angle, lying opposite the leg of A. Just change the designation of the parties. But you can do it in a different way, using another pair of trigonometric functions cotangent and arc cotangent. The cotangent of angle b is determined by dividing the length of the adjacent side And length of opposite: tg(β) = A/B. And the arc cotangent will help to extract from the received values the value of an angle in degrees: β = arсctg(сtg(β)) = arсctg(A/B).
If the baseline given the length of one of the other two sides (A) and the hypotenuse (C), to calculate angles use inverse sine and cosine inverse sine and inverse cosine. The sine of an acute angle β equal to the ratio of the length lying opposite leg to the length of the hypotenuse: sin(β) = B/C. So, to calculate the value of this angle in degrees use the following formula: β = arcsin(V/C).
And the value of the cosine of the angle β is determined by the ratio of the length adjacent to the top of the triangle leg And the length of the hypotenuse C. This means that to calculate the angle, in degrees, by analogy with the previous formula, it is necessary to use this equality: β = arccos(A/S).
The sum of angles of a triangle makes it unnecessary to use trigonometric functions if the point is given the value of one of the acute angles. In this case, to compute the unknown angle (α), just subtract from 180° the values of the two known angles straight (90°) and acute (β): α = 180° - 90° - β = 90° - β.

State of the University addresses recent budget concerns
Chancellor Watson and cabinet members discuss campus concerns and successes
Chancellor Watson cheers on faculty and staff member accomplishments awarded during the State of the University address.
On Monday, Feb. 3, Chancellor Dwight Watson hosted the State of the University address in the Young Auditorium. Joined by Interim Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Artanya Welsey, Interim Provost Greg Cook and Vice Chancellor of Administrative Affairs Grace Crickette, the main topic of conversation was the university's budget crisis.
"When I began my tenure as chancellor, I told you the theme of this year was to listen, learn and lead," Watson said. "We are faced with some significant challenges, as laid out in the message to the campus in late January. As I know that [the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater] is reliant upon tuition as the primary source of revenue, when enrollment is down, there is a direct correlation to budget."
Enrollment at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater has been on the decline since the 2016-2017 academic year, according to reports from the university. Because of this decline, the university's budget has slowly begun to suffer.
"This fall, we faced a drastic decline in enrollment by 4.1 percent," Watson said. "We had 498 fewer students than the prior fall."
This decline has cost the university approximately $11 million in revenue from tuition alone.
The chancellor asked that the campus continue to have the correct information regarding the budget situation. Because of future listening sessions that will take place, he stressed the importance of having correct information to help students, staff and faculty ask proper questions to those involved so as to avoid speculation.
Following his opening remarks, Grace Crickette, the vice chancellor of Administrative Affairs, presented how the office is dealing with the budget situation, and how it will be assisting with budget cuts.
"The university is committed to elevating its administrative, academic and resource operations to a higher level of operational excellence," Crickette said. "The university is focused on reducing and redirecting our resources, and streamlining our operations to address the financial challenges."
The Administrative Affairs division has targeted roughly $4 million in savings for this year and the 2021 fiscal year, coming to a total of about 22 percent of their total budget. They have already achieved $2.2 million of that target goal through implemented efficiency and sustainability changes.
Administrative Affairs has also lessened their fleet expenses by reducing the amount of vehicles they have, while also expanding the shared transportation system that links the Whitewater campus to the Rock County campus. They also have focused on providing better materials for existing faculty and staff to further assist students and their education.
"We've also obtained savings through reorganization and consolidation of service efforts," she said. "This requires absorbing and restructuring workload. We have been very mindful when we've done this to redesign the work and provide improved tools to our staff."
Following Crickette's budget proposal, Interim Provost Greg Cook spoke on behalf of the Academic Affairs office, where he is also the vice provost for Academic Affairs.
"To address our current budget challenge, Chancellor Watson encouraged all of us to consider reductions, reinvestments and revenue generation," Cook said. "In Academic Affairs, we have fewer students to teach, so this means fewer course sections. That's our most visible reduction."
Cook discussed how the Academic Affairs office must consider activities and work to prioritize as well as what they need to let go. He also discussed how his office is dealing with budget cuts.
"We are reinvesting $1.3 million this year to launch new and enhanced strategies to attract new enrollment and retain more," Cook said. "We are reducing our spending by $4 million across the division."
Cook stated that to help the university's central budget, they are contributing funds to the College of Business and Economics' online programs from a reserve account in ICIT.
To generate revenue, Cook stated that the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater will be adding new academic programs, such as a MS in cybersecurity and instructional design. This is still pending approval from the Board of Regents.
"It's critical that we maintain high-quality educational programs and experiences for our students," he concluded. "I also want to resist the temptation to solve this budget problem with temporary corrections."
Interim Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Artanya Wesley presented the Student Affairs aspect of the budget crisis. Because Student Affairs is funded by three different funding streams (student fee-funded auxiliary enterprises, segregated university fees and tuition and state-driven funding, with tuition and state-driven funding only making up approiximately 3 percent of Student Affairs funding), it sets Student Affairs apart from many other divisions at the two campuses. Since Student Affairs oversees many different departments on campus, much of their budget is reinvested and spent right back into campus.
Chancellor Watson concluded the address by discussing what the university must do; stabilize the budget, reduce spending, create new sources of revenue and strengthen enrollment.
Watson, after discussing how the university needs to go about the budget challenge, went into how much there is to celebrate, even through this darkness.
"I came here through a lens of celebration," he said. "I said that I was going to get to the problems, but we have to celebrate first. The whole first semester was full of celebration, and the problems were in the back of my head. And now, the problems are amplified, and you're feeling some of the tension, and now that you're feeling some of that shared tension, I can [begin to start] celebrating."

Obama, Notre Dame and the Intra-Catholic Struggle
by Ed Kilgore, May 14th, 2009 5:42 PM EST
As you probably know by now, President Obama is due to deliver the commencement address and pick up an honorary degree from the University of Notre Dame on Sunday. And protests over the appearance–and much earlier, over the invitation–have become a big cause celebre for conservative Catholics, including a sizable chunk of the Church hierarchy.
The issue, of course, is whether a Catholic university should be honoring or even listening to a pro-choice president, given the Church's position on abortion, and more to the point, given the conviction of anti-abortion activists that Obama is presiding over a twenty-first century version of the Holocaust.
But the annoying thing about the controversy is the planted axiom in much of the coverage that Catholics are having to decide whether their anti-abortion beliefs should trump every other moral and political issue, or simple respect to a President of the United States. We are often told that a majority of Catholics voted for Obama, and support the decision to invite him to speak at Notre Dame. The impression often left is that Catholics have forgotten about the primacy of "life" issues, and have let themselves be lured into error by concerns over, say, their jobs or health care needs or global warming, or their opposition to Bush foreign policies.
But it's important to understand that this isn't just a matter of priorities for millions of American Catholics: they are actually no more likely to hold anti-abortion views than the rest of the U.S. population. According to a new Quinnipiac poll, 13 percent of Catholics think abortion should be legal in all cases, while 37 percent think it should be legal in most cases; voters as a whole break down at 15% and 37%. Only 16% of Catholics (as compared with 14% of Americans as a whole) think abortion should be illegal in all cases.
Now it's entirely possible to be in favor of legalized abortion while still deploring the practice. But it seems Catholics are no more likely to be "morally opposed" to abortion than other Americans. According to a recent Gallup survey, 40% of Catholics (as compared to 41% of non-Catholics) consider abortion "morally acceptable." And that's not so strange, since the same survey shows 71% of Catholics finding divorce "morally acceptable" (the number is 66% among non-Catholics), with similarly positive moral acceptance levels for pre-marital sex (67%, compared to 57% of non-Catholics), having a child out of wedlock (61%; 52% among non-Catholics) and homosexual relations (54%; 45% of non-Catholics). None of these positions, of course, are in line with contemporary Church doctrine.
What this should make clear is that the brouhaha over Obama's Notre Dame appearance is less about Obama versus Catholics than Catholics versus Catholics. One of the leading agitators against Obama's appearance, First Things editor Joseph Bottum, has written a long piece arguing that the controversy is part of an epic struggle to force "elitist" Catholic colleges back into line with both the hierarchy and grassroots Catholic anti-abortion sentiment (Damon Linker ripostes that "it is Bottum and his theoconservative allies who stand on the margins of American Catholic life").
Further, the intra-Catholic struggle is an old story in this country, dating back at least to the "Americanist Heresy" furor of the late nineteenth century, which also centered on conservative claims that Catholic academicians were too accomodating to secular American culture. Interestingly enough, as Linker points out, an especially sharp rebuke to Bottum's essay came from Catholic traditionalist Patrick Deneen, who lashes politically conservative Catholics for undermining the faith and encouraging an emphasis on "individual choice" through their enthusiasm for capitalism.
The more you look at it all, Barack Obama is to a large extent a bystander in the battles over his appearance at Notre Dame, no matter how it's spun in the news media or by Republicans. Some Catholic conservatives may indeed think of him as a baby-killing libertine, but that's how they've viewed most Democratic politicians for some time now. What they're really upset about is how many of their co-religionists–whom they constantly mock as "non-observant," lapsed or "cafeteria Catholics"–reject Church doctrine on abortion and other gender and sexuality issues, and won't submit. And for all the explicit and implicit suggestions that "liberal" Catholics aren't "real" Catholics, I doubt the hard-core traditionalists are really quite prepared to invite half the American Church to walk away.

Judy Miller "Retires"
Posted on November 9, 2005 by maha
MSNBC just announced that Judy Miller has "retired" from the New York Times. Reuters has a slightly different take:
New York Times reporter Judith Miller, a journalist at the center of the CIA leak controversy that led to the indictment of a White House aide, will leave the paper, the New York Times said on Wednesday.
Miller's lawyers and the paper negotiated a severance package, terms of which were not disclosed. As part of the agreement, the paper will publish a letter from Miller explaining her position, The Times said on its Web site.
That doesn't sound like "retired." It sounds like "terminated."
Miller, 57, who covered national security for The Times, had faced criticism for stories she wrote on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that turned out to be based on faulty information supplied by Iraqi exiles.
According to The Times' web site, Miller wrote in her letter, to be published in The Times on Thursday, that she had become a "lightning rod for public fury over the intelligence failures that helped lead our country to war" and wanted to leave the paper because she had "become the news."
Executive Editor Bill Keller was quoted in The Times as saying the paper had been hurt by delays in "coming clean" over lapses in its reporting that supported U.S. allegations of Iraqi weapons programs, much of which was written by Miller.
Katharine Q. Seelye writes for the New York Times:
Lawyers for Ms. Miller and the paper negotiated a severance package, the details of which they would not disclose. Under the agreement, Ms. Miller will retire from the newspaper, and The Times will print a letter she wrote to the editor explaining her position. Ms. Miller originally demanded that she be able to write an essay for the paper's Op-Ed page challenging the allegations against her. The Times refused that demand – Gail Collins, editor of the editorial page, said, "We don't use the Op-Ed page for back and forth between one part of the paper and another" – but agreed to let her write the letter.
In that letter, to be published in The New York Times on Thursday under the heading, "Judith Miller's Farewell," Ms. Miller said she was leaving partly because some of her colleagues disagreed with her decision to testify in the C.I.A. leak case.
"But mainly," she wrote, "I have chosen to resign because over the last few months, I have become the news, something a New York Times reporter never wants to be."
She noted that even before going to jail, she had "become a lightning rod for public fury over the intelligence failures that helped lead our country to war." She said she regretted "that I was not permitted to pursue answers" to questions about those intelligence failures.
I suspect she was not permitted to pursue "answers" because she had lost all "credibility." Anyway, I hope she "enjoys" her "retirement."
The critical question: Will her book advance reach six figures? That would have been possible a few years ago, but the book publishing biz is not all that flush these days.

Texas–It's Like a Whole 'Nother Planet
CNN just reported that Texas's highest criminal court let stand a lower court ruling that threw out Andrea Yates's murder conviction for drowning her children in June 2001.
With no qualms about wasting taxpayer money, Harris County Assistant District Attorney Alan Curry said the case would be retried if Yates's attorney won't settle for a plea bargain.
Andrea Yates has remained in prison since the lower court overturned her conviction in January. Essentially, Yates's attorney figured that since the massively psychotic Yates is receiving psychiatric medical treatment in prison, she might as well be there as anywhere else.
I wouldn't be surprised if the husband and attorney agree to a plea bargain, in fact, because it is unlikely Yates will ever be well enough to be set free, and a trial would just be unnecessary stress as well as cost. Also, they have good reason to want her to stay in prison, explained at the end of this post. But a humane justice system would not have tried her in the first place.
I've written about Yates before; this is a repeat from May 2003:
I followed the Andrea Yates trial closely, and came to the conclusion that Texas is not only like a whole 'nother country. It's also stuck in a whole 'nother century, sometime in the Dark Ages. The Texas justice system does not recognize brain disease; to them, insanity is a character flaw, or maybe devil possession.
The early news stories about Andrea Yates called her illness "postpartum depression," but the truth is that she was a five-alarm schizophrenic. She had been sinking deeper and deeper into psychosis for several years, had attempted suicide, and had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals. In the months before the killings, one of her friends was so alarmed at her behavior she was keeping notes.
Two weeks before she killed her children, a bleeping incompetent psychiatrist took her off the antipsychotic meds — cold turkey — that had propped her up and kept her functional. A couple of days before she killed her children, her husband Randy took her back to this psychiatrist and begged him to put her back on her meds; the doc refused.
Once in county jail, the psychiatric staff proclaimed she was the most psychotic inmate they had ever seen. Several of the prison psychologists and psychiatrists — people who worked with her for many weeks — testified at trial that Yates was massively delusional. A prominent neuropsychiatrist tested her and diagnosed severe schizophrenia, noting major frontal lobe impairment. During her trial, Yates had to be drugged into catatonia so she could sit in her seat and not try to catch flies with her tongue.
The jury was told, over and over, that Yates had a disease of the brain. They were not told that, if found not guilty by reason of insanity, Yates would not have gone free. The court would have ordered her to be hospitalized, not to be released without another court order.
The prosecutors trotted out two primary witnesses. One was the psychiatrist who had taken her off her meds and who would have been charged with murder if I'd had anything to say about it. He said he saw no sign of psychosis in Yates. One suspects this guy couldn't find shit in an outhouse.
The other witness was a paid expert psychiatrist who is also a consultant for "Law and Order." He said that Yates had gotten the idea for killing her children from a "Law and Order" episode. Later it was determined that there was no such episode; it had been scripted but never produced.
After several weeks of testimony, the jury took all of four hours to find Yates guilty of murder. They decided she couldn't have been crazy because she had called 911 to report the childrens' deaths. Yes, this makes sense. A crazy person would have made up some story about intruders to avoid punishment.
Since the Yates trial, another Texas killer mother, Deanna Laney, was found not guilty by reason of insanity for the stoning deaths of two of her children. Laney lacked Yates's long and well documented history of psychiatric illness, but the "witness for hire" hack psychiatrist, Dr. Park Dietz, who testified for the prosecution at the Yates trial testified for the defense at the Laney trial, which should prove what an absolute whore the man is. Anyway, Laney was committed to a maximum-security psychiatric hospital, and the state of Texas expected her husband to pay the bills. I undersand Mr. Laney didn't waste much time filing for divorce.

Congratulations to the voters of Dover, Pennsylvania, for booting their entire anti-evolution school board yesterday! Laurie Goodstein writes in today's New York Times:
All eight members up for re-election to the Pennsylvania school board that had been sued for introducing the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in biology class were swept out of office yesterday by a slate of challengers who campaigned against the intelligent design policy.
Among the losing incumbents on the Dover, Pa., board were two members who testified in favor of the intelligent design policy at a recently concluded federal trial on the Dover policy: the chairwoman, Sheila Harkins, and Alan Bonsell.
The election results were a repudiation of the first school district in the nation to order the introduction of intelligent design in a science class curriculum. The policy was the subject of a trial in Federal District Court that ended last Friday. A verdict by Judge John E. Jones III is expected by early January. …
… The vote counts were close, but of the 16 candidates the one with the fewest votes was Mr. Bonsell, the driving force behind the intelligent design policy. Testimony at the trial revealed that Mr. Bonsell had initially insisted that creationism get equal time in the classroom with evolution.
(Singing) Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, GOOD BYE.
More good news: Yesterday California voters rejected all of Governor Schwarzenegger's ballot proposals. Michael Finnegan and Robert Salladay write in the Los Angeles Times,
In a sharp repudiation of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Californians rejected all four of his ballot proposals Tuesday in an election that shattered his image as an agent of the popular will.
Voters turned down his plans to curb state spending, redraw California's political map, restrain union politics and lengthen the time it takes teachers to get tenure.
I liked this part:
Dogging the governor, as it has for months, was the California Nurses Assn., which organized a luau at the Trader Vic's in the same hotel. As Schwarzenegger's defeats mounted, giddy nurses formed a conga line and danced around the room, singing, "We're the mighty, mighty nurses."
I love it. Don't ever mess with nurses.
Also in the Los Angeles Times, Peter Nicholas and Mark Z. Barabak explain why the sequel failed at the ballot box:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday met the limits of his celebrity: Even a campaign built around his action-star persona could not persuade voters to embrace his "year of reform" agenda.
Worse for Schwarzenegger, the special election he called to cement his power may have diminished it instead. All four measures he brought to the ballot — Propositions 74, 75, 76 and 77 — were rejected.
Schwarzenegger staged a campaign intended to capitalize on his once-robust box-office appeal. He largely shunned unscripted encounters with voters and face-to-face debates with political opponents, sticking instead to friendly exchanges in venues packed with admiring supporters.
His campaign echoed the strategy he employed in the 2003 recall campaign, when the product he was selling was "Arnold," the outsider determined to "clean up" Sacramento with the same wit and resolve he showed in his movies. …
… The problem, however, was that Schwarzenegger never seemed to make the transition from celebrity to chief executive. The obvious comparison is to another actor-turned-California governor, Ronald Reagan.
Ken Khachigian, a longtime Republican strategist who was a speechwriter in the Reagan White House, said of Schwarzenegger's rhetorical habits: "It was like, 'OK, we've heard that stuff.' This is different now. This is policy and substance, and the speeches should have used a little different rhetoric."
While Schwarzenegger's approach "worked well in the recall," Khachigian said, "The problem is that it didn't wear very well over a period of time. After a while he was a governor, not an actor, and it's quite a different role."
A Republican strategist and occasional Schwarzenegger advisor put it more bluntly Tuesday, saying privately: "The act is getting stale."
I guess the Republicans aren't talking about amending the Constitution so that immigrants can be president any more.
Here's the good news roundup:
Democrat Jon Corzine beat Republican Doug Forrester in the New Jersey governor's race.
Democrat Tim Kaine beat Republican Jerry Kilgore in the Virginia governor's race.
Schwarzenegger was clobbered; see links above.
"Intelligent design" gets the boot in Dover, Pennsylvania; see links above.
Maine voters defeated an attempt to repeal a law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. In other words, gay rights, yes; gay hate, no.
In Minnesota, an anti-Bush Democrat will replace a pro-Bush Democrat as mayor of St. Paul.
San Francisco Chronicle: "San Francisco voters took a stand Tuesday against military recruitment on public school campuses, voted to keep firehouses open and approved the nation's toughest ban on handguns by making it illegal for city residents to possess them."
Not all voters turned away from the Dark Side. Texas voters approved a ban on gay marriage, and Ohio voters rejected four constitutional amendments intended to reform their corrupt election processes.
The re-election of Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg in New York City is a wash; Bloomberg is a through-and-through RINO. A "real" Republican couldn't get elected to squat in New York City.
Today the bobbleheads on the cable TV news shows will be explaining that yesterday's elections don't mean the 2006 elections will swing to Democrats. And they may be right. But they're often wrong, aren't they?

About Those Results …
An editorial in Wednesday's New York Times:
A year ago, George W. Bush said the voters of America had given him political capital that he intended to spend pursuing his agenda. While it's always dangerous to read national lessons into local elections, everyone from political consultants to the leaders of countries in the remote corners of Asia and Africa are going to assume the same thing from the results of yesterday's balloting: Mr. Bush's political capital has turned into a deficit.
The election of Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine in Virginia was a surprise. Virginia has a Democratic governor now, but in national politics it is a safe Republican state. President Bush made a much-publicized last-minute campaign stop there to stump for the Republican, Jerry Kilgore. Everyone who has to make a decision about next year's Congressional elections – from promising candidates who are mulling whether to listen to their party's pleas to run to campaign donors – are reading bad omens for the Republicans into what happened after Mr. Bush left.
Can Bush turn it around and save his presidency?
All that could easily change. Mr. Bush could be the catalyst for change, if he had the flexibility and imagination to read the nation's mood. Whenever this president has gotten into trouble in the past, he has reflexively turned to his right-wing base, or his trump issue of antiterrorism and homeland security. That isn't working now. In Mr. Bush's last crisis, over Hurricane Katrina, he made a desperate grab for popularity in the form of sweeping promises of enormous spending to rebuild New Orleans – promises that frightened his party. He is already in the process of backtracking on them.
Big surprise. Not.
William Branigin writes in Wednesday's Washington Post:
With President Bush buffeted by low job-approval ratings, declining public support for his Iraq war policy and a federal CIA leak investigation that has reached into the White House, the Virginia governor's race was being watched for any signs that the Republican administration's difficulties were rubbing off at the local level. Long considered a reliable Republican state in national politics, Virginia has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in more than 40 years, and Bush won handily in last year's presidential election with 54 percent of the vote.
It would be a mistake to look at today's elections only as a referendum on Bush. I don't know how much anti-Bush sentiment factored into the New Jersey election, although Corzine did run ads linking Forrester to Bush (ouch!). Mayor Michael Bloomberg's re-election in New York City certainly doesn't mean New Yorkers are tilting Republican. Bloomberg is a true RINO and more liberal than a lot of Democrats. New Yorkers understand the party affiliation has more to do with political expediency than ideology.
But I'd hate to be a Republican campaign strategist tonight, huh?


Insert and Inbuilt fires are designed for use in old masonry open fires and built into wall cavities.
The easy way to remember is an Insert fire is 'Inserted' into an existing open fire cavity, an Inbuilt (commonly called a Z/C or Zero-Clearance fire) is 'Built In' to a wall.
Insert fires can only be used inside of a Masonry/Brick cavity that has a bottom, back and sides that is sealed to a non-combustible hearth and surround. They can be fitted whether you have a full chimney or not with compliant flue solutions even if most of your chimney was removed in an Earthquake. They cannot be fitted into a wooden enclosure, the fire must be fully encased in non-combustible material.
Most commonly called a Zero-Clearance fire, there are select models available that come as Z/C. Each Zero clearance model with have its own unique build plans that are relevant to that model and must be followed 100%. Some plans will dictate Stud and lintel placement, Ventilation requirements and some have wall lining requirements. The benefits of a Z/C fire is that any wall surface in your home can be turning into a purpose build housing for a Z/C fire. Z/C Fires can also be elevated up the wall for convenience and modern styling.
Below is the range of Insert and Inbuilt (Z/C) Clean air fires we offer, some are also available as Rural.

Home/US/Pete Buttigieg and husband Chasten's baby boy, Gus, is home after spending a week on a ventilator
Pete Buttigieg and husband Chasten's baby boy, Gus, is home after spending a week on a ventilator
DUK Editor Team Send an email November 6, 2021
Politician Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten announced their baby boy Gus is finally home after spending 'a terrifying week on a ventilator.'
The couple announced on Friday their son Gus – whose legal name is Joseph August – was finally home after three weeks in and out of the hospital.
'After 3 weeks in and out of hospitals, 125 miles in an ambulance, and a terrifying week on a ventilator, Gus is home, smiling, and doing great!' Chasten, 32, wrote.
'We're so relieved, thankful, and excited for him and Penelope to take DC by storm! Thank you so much for all of the love and prayers.'
The Secretary of Transportation Pete, 39, added on Twitter: 'Thankful, relieved, and reflecting a great deal on the mixture of joy, terror, and love that is parenting.'
Pete and Chasten Buttigieg, 39 and 32, announced their son was home sweet home after spending three weeks in and out of the hospital with an undisclosed illness and spent a week on a ventilator
The couple dressed their twins up at traffic cones, perfect for their Secretary of Transportation dad
On Sunday, the pair shared a few pictures of their twins dressed as cute little traffic cones with the caption: 'Happy Halloween from these #twinfrastructure safety advocates!'
'Gus has been having a rough go of it but we're headed in the right direction," Chasten Buttigieg wrote on Instagram.
The couple did not give any details about their son's illness, but thanked the 'countless medical professionals' who helped their son with 'tenderness and care.'
The couple double Gus and his twin sister Penelope Rose a few months ago.
Chasten revealed that Gus = whose legal name is Joseph August – was on a ventilator for a week and endured 125 miles of ambulance rides over the course of his illness. Pete said the parents were 'thankful' and 'relieved'
Chasten also said 'countless medical professionals' who helped Gus
The pair adopted their twins in September after trying to adopt for over a year
Baby Gus was named after Buttigieg's father who died in 2019 and was a professor at Notre Dame.
The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and the drama teacher went through the ups and downs of the adoption cycle before getting their twins.
'It's a really weird cycle of anger and frustration and hope,' Chasten told the Washington Post.
Chasten recalled around the year mark receiving a phone call regarding a woman in labor who was considering adoption. They pair scrambled to figure out how to get there and adjust their lives for an incoming baby when the mother changed her mind.
'You think it's finally happening and you get so excited, and then it's gone,' he told the Post.
Pete and Chasten welcomed their twins home in September.
The couple met in 2015 on the dating app Hinge and married three years later, according to the Guardian.
The Transportation boss has been criticized for taking extended paternity leave amid the nation's supply chain crisis.
'Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child. Paternity leave, they call it, trying to figure out how to breastfeed. No word on how that went,' Fox News' Tucker Carlson complained.
Buttigieg defended his need to take time off.
'As you might imagine, we're bottle feeding and doing it at all hours of the day and night,' Buttigieg told Jake Tapper in a segment for CNN. 'I'm not going to apologize to Tucker Carlson or anyone else for taking care of my premature newborn infant twins. The work that we are doing is joyful, fulfilling, wonderful work. It's important work.'

Constellium provides lightweight aluminium solutions for a new premium car model
by Nick Palmen
Constellium N.V. (NYSE and Euronext Paris: CSTM) announced that it supplies aluminium Automotive Body Sheets and Crash Management Systems for the new BMW 5 Series, including its hybrid and touring models. The latest edition of the iconic BMW 5 Series saves 137 pounds (62 kg) compared to the previous model thanks to the use of lightweight materials like aluminium.
Constellium is the primary supplier of aluminium Automotive Body Sheet for the BMW 5 Series, providing the coils used for the inner and outer applications such as doors, roofs, fenders, deck lids and structural parts. In addition, Constellium designed and produces the rear Crash Management System, including an integrated holder for the exhaust system.
For the hood outer panel and fenders, Constellium provides Surfalex® with high surface quality and specific hemming and roping properties, which allow sporty designs that are sharp, sleek and striking.
For the inner hood, the superior formability and mechanical resistance of our materials solution enable efficient processing of complex shapes.
"BMW is a great customer to work with as they are looking for innovative aluminium solutions for automotive body sheets for their new models. We are proud to supply the BMW 5 Series not only for closures but also for structural inner parts and reinforcement applications requiring specific crash and mechanical performance such as the one offered by Securalex®HS," said Dieter Höll, Sales & Marketing Director Automotive & Specialties.
Aluminium is the ideal material for Crash Management Systems because it provides superior energy absorption to help protect vehicle occupants in the event of a collision. It also has a crash behavior that helps reduce damage to the vehicle and therefore minimizes repair costs. The bumper beam and crash boxes are extruded components, allowing Constellium to design a product that is not only lightweight, but also engineered to customer specifications in terms of size, shape, package space and strength.
"Constellium is a longtime supplier to BMW and it is an honor to contribute to the redefined Ultimate Driving Machine," said Lionel Chapis, Constellium's Managing Director for Automotive Structures. "The new BMW 5 Series features our most advanced rear crash management system with extrusions made of Constellium's patented high-strength 6000-series crushable alloys."
Aluminium continues to be a material of choice for automakers to lightweight vehicles for improved fuel economy and lower emissions. By saving weight throughout the vehicle, automakers are able to integrate additional features that differentiate their vehicles for unique appeal to consumers.

The uncertainty of a no deal Brexit for lorry drivers?
Whilst lots of people are sick of hearing the word Brexit, and have switched off from the constant to'ing and fro'ing, and cries of deal or no deal, there are those industries who will be heavily impacted and are waiting impatiently to find out their fate. None more so than the haulage and logistics industry.
As a sector, Haulage and logistics is the fifth largest employer in the UK, employing more than 2.5m people across the country. Nearly half a million commercial vehicles over 3.5tonnes are registered in the UK and this all amounts to a massive £124bn GVA to the UK economy.
At present, those firms wishing to deliver goods outside our borders and across to Europe can do so with little fanfare; there is the obligatory queuing at Dover to deal with from time to time, and the requirement to carry a community licence which entitles delivery abroad. However, these are not deterrents; they are part and parcel of the status quo, and hauliers have been able to choose whether or not to work internationally based on a number of factors not restricted by red tape and bureaucracy.
Yes, an agreement on withdrawal does promise a status quo whilst Britain works out the new trade relationships with our counterparts across the English Channel. That said, a no deal Brexit seems to loom ever closer and the only certainty for this industry is a near future of uncertainty.
There are a number of solutions that are being explored at present; the possibility of European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) permits being allocated to the UK seems a reasonable option. But these are currently limited in number, and when we have seen – in 2019 to date – more than 11,000 applications for the less than 1000 permits available alarm bells seem to ring louder, not be lessened by this option. More permits should become available, but ultimately it looks like this option causes more paperwork, more competition and no guarantee that existing work can continue; a headache hauliers will want to avoid.
Another solution, proposed by the European Commission is to allow a "you scratch our back, and we will scratch yours" scenario whereby UK lorries may continue – with some restriction – to deliver to Europe providing we allow something similar that means our European counterparts may continue to deliver to the UK. Whilst potentially involving less bureaucracy and paperwork than a permit based solution, this is only a short term fix and doesn't appear to be backed up by any long term plans that would give cause for a sigh of relief.
Neither of these solutions appears ideal, and there are further headaches for hauliers to consider; different licences, different registrations, different forms and papers to complete at the borders. All of this means that the industry needs something new. They need a fresh, imaginative way to turn away from the doom and gloom of Brexit, and something that will give them new income streams and will reinvigorate the industry.
And here is where DrivenMedia has an opportunity for hauliers. It may mitigate against some of the additional costs that loom when delivering to Europe, and it may even give companies cause to re-examine the value of domestic deliveries.
DrivenMedia is a young, ambitious company founded by Ed Hollands in 2017 that is all about looking for new solutions and thinking outside the box. We provide the opportunity for companies to advertise on the side or back of trucks in order for them to be seen up and down the roads of this country as the lorries that carry their message go about their everyday business.
We have plenty of companies wanting to take advantage of this opportunity but we can only do so by working with more hauliers and having more trucks available to advertise upon. We want to find new haulage partners who recognise the opportunity to their business that we can offer, and who have trucks silently driving up and down the country without being noticed by the millions around them.
Brexit may still be deal or no deal, but the best part for us is that we don't really mind. If we find ourselves in a situation whereby a deal is done then we will continue to help hauliers maximise the income from their fleets. But if we do see a "No Deal" then we are excited to be offering something to ease the headaches of our hauliers.
With this in mind, put Brexit to the back of your thoughts and get in touch. We'd love to talk more about how we can help you!

The  Master of the Llangattock Hours was a Flemish manuscript painter active between 1450 and 1460.  He is one of at least eight artists who contributed to the Llangattock Hours, a book of hours now in the J. Paul Getty Museum collection; his name is derived from the fact that he appears to have been the primary artist, and was assigned in turn after the name of a previous owner of the book.  He was active in the generation after Jan van Eyck and shows a great deal of his influence, at times directly copying the elder master's compositions.  Nevertheless, his figures are small and stiff, set in landscapes or in awkwardly-drawn architectural settings.  His color schemes are dense, with little indication of an understanding of lighting techniques.  It is believed that the Master lived and worked in Bruges, given his reliance on the work of earlier local masters, his work on the Turin-Milan Hours, and collaboration with other local painters, such as Willem Vrelant.

The Master should not be confused with the Master of the Llangattock Epiphany, whose work may also be found in the same book, which once belonged to John Rolls, 2nd Baron Llangattock, older brother of Charles Rolls, co-founder of Rolls-Royce.

Q: Java methods with arrays I am given a question: Write a method, double[] threshold(double[] a, double x), that takes an array, a, of doubles and a double, x, and returns an array containing only the values of a that are greater than or equal to x. I know my code is wrong but can't seem to fix it.
Please help!
public static double[] threshold(double[] a, double x){
    double[] ell;
    //ell = new double[];
    for (int i = 0 ; i < a.length; i++){
        if (a[i] >= x) {
            ell.add(a[i]);
        }
    }
    System.out.println(ell);
    return ell;
}

A: Define ell as
List<Double> ell = new ArrayList<Double>();

The double[] ell is an array and you do not have ell.add. However, if you use ArrayList, you should also return it. Alternatively, if you want to use and return an array, you need to not use ell.add().

A: You're actually pretty close. First, even though this isn't super efficient, I'd loop through a and count how many numbers are greater then or equal to x. Then call ell = new double[sizeOfArray]. Finally, loop over a again, this time adding the elements you want. To add to an array, you call ell[index] = number.

A: You are not allocating memory for ell (and arrays don't have an add method).
Since you don't know in advance how big ell should be, you have several options:

*

*Allocate ell to be the same size as a, and trim it before returning.

*Use an ArrayList and convert it to an array at the end.

A: Reason:
You cannot use the add method for an array.
Solutions:
You have two ways so solve the problem, using a primitive array approach or an objects approach
Option 1. Using Primitive Array Approach:
As you had tried is this approach, but you have forgot to instance the array before to use it, once it is instanced with a specific number of elements, then you have to use the operator [] to access the elements in the array.
So, you have to use something like:
double[] ell = new double[<numElements>];

Where numElement should be at least bigger as a's length parameter to ensure all elements get into the ell array, if in case all are bigger than x parameter, this avoids an IndexOutOfBoundsException.
Then you have to access every single element using the notation [i] instead than add() method which only works for the objects approach.
ell[i]

Option 2. Using Objects Approach:
You should use a collection object that implements the add() method in order to add the elements that you want to filter. Once you loop for classification is done, you can get the content as an array and return it.
You can replace:
double[] ell;

By a collection type object that implements an add() method, as: Vector or ArrayList, that are in the class hierarchy for AbstractList, of course you can use another hight level collections but these two are the most simple, then using Vector class you can code:
Vector ell = new Vector();

Then, at the end of the loop, you can use the method copyInto of Vector class to obtain the elements in the vector as an array of primitive data, something like:
double[] result;
ell.copyInto(result);

A: The size of arrays in the structure of [] has to be known before you initialize your array. In the case that is unknown you can use objects like LIST, ARRAY or VECTOR.
But in this case, it is necessary firstly to measure the size of array. Then with a second for-lus you can find your desired indices and set it on the new array. Although it could be improved, this way has to be taken.
And yes, this would be problematic with long arrays. So, it would be better if you use LIST or VECTOR.

Nigerians can't continue going overseas for treatment — President Buhari
by LOCAL AFRICAN REALITY on 04:46 in President Buhari
The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Friday, said Nigerians should not continue going abroad for medical treatment.
"Nigerians have suffered so much going abroad for medical treatment. This is not good for us and it must stop because we can't afford it again," he said.
The President, who himself had travelled to the United Kingdom for treatment on several occasions, stated this at the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, during the inauguration and handover of completed projects to the management of the hospital.
He explained that the project was executed to check flooding and gully erosion in the hospital.
The President, who was represented at the event by the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, lamented the devastating effects of flooding in the South-East geo-political zone, saying the intervention project would bring relief to the hospital, the state and its neighbours.
He said the siting of the project in Ebonyi State signalled an end to the era in the country where some parts of Nigeria were neglected as a result of corruption and favouritism. He stressed that the location of the project in major teaching hospitals across the country showed that no part of the country would be neglected again.

All Upcoming Tilda Swinton Movies and TV Shows
Ragesh Dipu
London born actress Tilda Swinton was a schoolmate and friend of Lady Diana Spencer at the West Heath Girls' School, an expensive boarding school in London. The actress developed a strong discontent against boarding schools later, which culminated in her taking up the progressive schooling initiative. After graduating from Cambridge University in 1983, Swinton performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company for a while. She made her film debut with 'Caravaggio' directed by Derek Jarman in 1986. The critically acclaimed movie also inaugurated the successful professional partnership between Swinton and Jarman. Together, they made movies like 'The Last of England' (1987), 'War Requiem' (1989) and 'Edward II' (1991).
Swinton won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 1991 Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of the character Isabella in 'Edward II.' Swinton went on to become a regular collaborator in several avant-garde movies throughout the '90s. Some of her major works during that period include 'Orlando' (1992), 'Female Perversions' (1996), 'The Deep End (2001), and 'Thumbsucker' (2004).
Swinton also marked her presence in big budgeted blockbusters like 'The Chronicles of Narnia' film franchise, in which she played the regular character of White Witch, 'Michael Clayton' (2007), 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (2008), 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' (2011), 'Moonrise Kingdom' (2012), 'Doctor Strange' (2016), 'Suspiria' (2018), and 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019). She earned an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the 2007 flick 'Michael Clayton.'
She also won the BAFTA Scotland Award for Best Actress for the 2003 movie 'Young Adam.' In 2013, the Museum of Modern Art, New York City dedicated a special tribute to the actress for her outstanding contributions to the realm of art. So at this point you might be wondering what is the next Tilda Swinton movie or TV show? Well, here's the list of upcoming Tilda Swinton films and TV shows scheduled to release in 2019 and 2020. We can only hope that the latest Tilda Swinton movies would be as good as some of her recent ones.
6. The Dead Don't Die (2019)
Jim Jarmusch's all-star ensemble zombie flick 'The Dead Don't Die' garnered positive reviews when the movie opened the 72nd Cannes Film Festival. Tilda Swinton plays the role of Zelda Winston, a samurai who fights the invading walking dead alongside the small town cops played by Bill Murray and Adam Driver. In the wake of the zombie outbreak in the town of Centerville, they embark on a dangerous mission to protect a group of survivors from the flesh-eating monsters. The other cast includes Selena Gomez, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Austin Butler, RZA, Tom Waits, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, and Carol Kane. 'The Dead Don't Die,' which was hailed by critics after the Cannes premiere for its impeccable writing and performances, hits theaters on June 14, 2019.
5. The Personal History of David Copperfield (2019)
'The Personal History of David Copperfield' is a film adaptation of the Victorian novel of the same name written by Charles Dickens in 1850. The upcoming movie is directed by Armando Iannucci ('The Death of Stalin') from a screenplay he co-wrote with Simon Blackwell. Dev Patel portrays the titular character, the orphan-turned-writer David Copperfield, while Tilda Swinton plays Copperfield's great-aunt Betsey Trotwood. Trotwood is a complex character who is known for her strong hatred for boys. But she plays an important role in shaping up Copperfield's future by providing him with opportunities and education. Gwendoline Christie also plays a major role in 'The Personal History of David Copperfield'. The film is scheduled for a December 5, 2019 release.
4. The French Dispatch (2020)
'The French Dispatch' is the long-awaited, star-studded romantic-comedy from director Wes Anderson. The film stars Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, Benicio del Toro, Jeffrey Wright, Timothée Chalamet, Lois Smith, Bob Balaban, Steve Park, Léa Seydoux, Mathieu Amalric, Denis Ménochet, and Bill Murray. Though the plot details are under tight wraps, 'The French Dispatch' reportedly centers on the Paris bureau of an American newspaper where a journalist battles to write what he wants. Anderson keeps mum about more details about his characters. The movie, which was filmed in Angoulême, France, wrapped up principal photography in March. Anderson directs the film from his own script. Described as a "love letter to journalists" set at "an outpost of an American newspaper in 20th-century Paris," 'The French Dispatch' is slated for a 2020 release.
3. Three Thousand Years of Longing (2020)
'Three Thousand Years of Longing' is an upcoming fantasy-romance directed by George Miller. The movie stars Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton in the lead roles. Billed as Miller's follow-up to his 2015 cult sci-fi flick 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' the film is in the early stages of development. George Miller directs the movie based on his own script. The director also produces the film along with his regular collaborator Doug Mitchell. Though the plot details are tightly sealed by the makers, Deadline reports that the movie will follow the adventures of a genie. 'Three Thousand Years of Longing,' which is expected to come to theaters in 2020, will start filming soon.

The following post is a section of the book 'Raspberry Pi: Measure, Record, Explore'. The entire book can be downloaded in pdf format for free from Leanpub or you can read it online here.
Since this post is a snapshot in time. I recommend that you download a copy of the book which is updated frequently to improve and expand the content.
To allow us to work on our Raspberry Pi from our normal desktop we will give ourselves the ability to connect to the Pi from another computer. The will mean that we don't need to have the keyboard / mouse or video connected to the Raspberry Pi and we can physically place it somewhere else and still work on it without problem. This process is called 'remotely accessing' our computer .
To do this we need to install an application on our windows desktop which will act as a 'client' in the process and software on our Raspberry Pi to act as the 'server'. There is a couple of different ways that we can accomplish this task. One way is to give us access to the Pi GUI from a remote computer (so you can use the Raspberry Pi desktop in the same way that we did with the startx command earlier) using a program called TightVNC and the other way is to get access to the command line (where all we do is type in our commands (like when we first log into the Pi)) via what's called SSH access.
You don't need to install both of these methods of remote access (or either if you want to keep using the Pi from its own keyboard, mouse and screen) but using one or the other would be a neat thing to allow you to put the Raspberry Pi in a location completely separate from your immediate location.
Which you choose to use depends on how you feel about using the device. If you're more comfortable with a GUI environment, then TightVNC will be the solution. This has the disadvantage of using more computing resources on the Raspberry Pi so if you are considering working it fairly hard, then SSH access may be a better option.
Remote access using SSH will be covered in the next post.
The software we will install is called TightVNC. It is free for personal and commercial use and implements a service called Virtual Network Computing. We need to set up instances of it on the client (the Windows desktop machine) and the server (the Raspberry Pi).
The 'client-server' model of computing is a very common term. It refers to a distribution of tasks or workload between computers to allow an application or service to operate. In this case the provider of the service (the server) is the Raspberry Pi and the user of the service (the client) is the Windows machine.
To install TightVNC for windows, go to the downloads page and select the appropriate version for your operating system.
Work through the installation process answering all the questions until you get to the screen asking what set-up type to choose.
We only want to install the viewer for the software (since we don't want to make our Windows desktop available to other computers on the network). So click on 'Custom' and then select 'TightVNC Viewer' then select 'Next'.
The 'Select Additional Tasks' selections can be left at their defaults.
You will be asked to set a password for the TightVNC service. In theory we won't be using TightVNC as a service (just as a viewer) but for the sake of safety(?) enter (and note somewhere) a password for remote access. You will also be asked for an administrative password. This could be useful in a multi user situation, so use your discretion here if required.
Click on 'OK' and you should be finished. You can now find 'TightVNC Viewer' from the start menu (but don't bother running it yet as we still need to set up the Raspberry Pi!).
We'll approach the process of installing the TightVNC server on the Raspberry Pi in two stages. In the first stage we'll install the software, run it and test it. In the second stage we'll configure it so that it starts automatically when the Raspberry Pi boots up which means that we can work remotely from that point.
Be Warned. This form of connection cannot be regarded as secure enough to connect via the Internet. We're only using it for the convenience and because we should arguably be more interested in learning about using computers on a home network than being worried about whether or not we will be 'hacked'. Make no expectations of security for this connection or the data on the Raspberry Pi, but don't let that stop you using it.
You will recall that the sudo portion of the command makes sure that you will have the correct permissions (in this case to run a command). The command that is run is one of the family of apt-get commands, which deal with package management. The install part of the command tells the apt-get program to not just get the software, but to install it as well. Lastly, tightvncserver is the application that will be installed. For more information on the apt-get command, see the Glossary.
The Raspberry Pi may ask you if you want to continue once it's done some checks that it can get the software (and any other software that it might be dependant on). Just answer 'y' if prompted.
After a short scrolling of messages, tightvncserver should be installed!
You will be prompted to enter a password that we will use on our Windows client software to authenticate that we are the right people connecting. Feel free to enter an appropriate password (believe it or not in this crazy security conscious world, there is a maximum length of password of 8 characters).
You will be asked if you want to have a 'view-only' password that would allow a client to look at, but not interact with the remote desktop (in this case I wouldn't bother).
You will be asked for this information the first time you run tightvncserver, but from then on it will simply use your initial settings (so remember the password).
The :1 informs us of the number of the desktop session that we will be looking at (since you can have more than one).
Now on the Windows desktop, start the TightVNC Viewer program. We will see a dialogue box asking which remote host we want to connect to. In this box we will put the IP address of our Raspberry Pi followed by a colon (:) and the number of the desktop that was allocated in the tightvncserver program (10.1.1.8:1).
In theory we will then be connected to a remote desktop view of the Raspberry Pi from our Windows desktop.
Take a moment to interact with the connection and confirm that everything is working as anticipated.
Remotely accessing the Raspberry Pi is a great thing to be able to to, but to make the experience even more useful we need to have the ability to copy and paste between the Windows environment and the Raspberry Pi.
We can certainly survive without this feature, but being able to carry out research on a more powerful machine and then copy-paste code from one to the other is a real advantage.
Make sure that you place the autocutsel -fork in the position indicated in the example above as otherwise it will not work as desired.
All that remains is to reboot the Raspberry Pi for the changes to take effect.
STARTING TIGHTVNC AT BOOT ON THE PI.
Having a remote desktop is extremely useful, but if we need to run the tightvncserver program on the Raspberry Pi each time we want to use the remote desktop, it would be extremely inconvenient. What we will do instead is set up tightvncserver so that it starts automatically each time the Raspberry Pi boots up.
To do this we are going to use a little bit of Linux cleverness. We'll explain it as we go along, but be aware, some will find the explanations a little tiresome (if you're already familiar) but I'm sure that there will be some readers who will benefit.
The first set of lines with a hash mark (#) in front of them are comments. These are just there to explain what is going on to someone reading the file.
This piece of script in rc.local is the code responsible for printing out the IP address!
This command switches user to be the 'pi' user with su - pi. The su stands for 'switch user' the dash (-) makes sure that the user pi's environment (like all their settings) are used correctly and pi is the user.
The -c option declares that the next piece of the line is going to be the command that will be run and the part inside the quote marks ('/usr/bin/tightvncserver :1') is the command.
The command in this case executes the file tightvncserver which is in the /usr/bin directory and it specifies that we should start desktop session 1 (:1).
When the Raspberry has finished starting up again, we should be able to see in the list of text that shows up while the boot sequence is starting the line New 'X' desktop is raspberrypi:1.
Assuming that this is the case, we can now start the TightVNC Viewer program on the Windows desktop and we will be able to see a remote view of the Raspberry Pi's desktop.
There are alternative ways to allow tightvncserver to start automatically, and I am sure that they are completely valid for different purposes. One of the most popular allows the remote desktop to start as the root user. The instructions above deliberately start the desktop as the pi user to attempt to mirror the user experience as if accessing the Raspberry Pi directly. It also preserves a degree of security in that the user can not automatically start messing up some of the more delicate functions of the computer (they just have to think a little more about it :-)).
Now for the big test.
Now physically turn off the power to the Pi.
Unplug the keyboard / mouse and the video from the unit so that there is only the power connector and the network cable left plugged in.
Now turn the power back on.
Start the TightVNC Viewer program on the Windows desktop and we will be able to see a remote view of the Raspberry Pi's desktop but this time the Pi doesn't have a keyboard / mouse or video screen attached.
The post above (and heaps of other stuff) is in the book 'Raspberry Pi: Measure, Record, Explore' that can be downloaded for free (or donate if you really want to :-)).
Thanks for the great raspberry pi book, exactly what I was looking for. One thing I noticed is that there is little mention of time zones. As a beginner, how MYSQL does timezones and that is shown in the D3 visualization is brain melting. In the end I just want the correct times to appear on my graph rather than UTC.
That's a really good question. You may have an earlier copy of the book. I updated it a while ago and included a section on changing the time zones in a chapter called 'Tips and Tricks'. Just go back to Leanpub and you can automagically download the latest version. If you just want to check it out online you can read it here https://leanpub.com/RPiMRE/read#leanpub-auto-changing-the-default-local-time. and in a few days time I am going to put it up on the blog.
Glad that you're enjoying the book :-).
