A home built nearly 100 years ago will soon have a new owner through a slightly unconventional home sale.
111 North Ave. in Anderson will be sold through a live auction at 6 p.m. on Dec. 5.
Built by C.M. Guest in 1925, the home is part of the North Anderson Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places and has been featured on the Anderson Heritage Tour of Homes as well as various garden tours.
Although the home is not individually listed on the register, it is one of several properties listed that "contribute to the historic character and significance of the North Anderson Historic District," according to the National Register of Historic Places.
A colonial revival style home like many of the others within the district, many of the original features are still in the home. The five-bedroom brick home has a slate roof with side gables and has two wings: one story on the right and two stories on the left.
The home was last sold in 2000 to Robert and Glenda Taylor, according to county property records.

Vacation 2018 turned out to be Evacuation 2018.
Like counting down to Christmas Day, for months our kids had been looking forward to joining cousins and extended family at the annual Fall Break week at the beach. The night before leaving, we ate our traditional dinner in the University cafeteria. (Nothing like starting vacation with a sugar high by having as much sugary cereal, sugary drinks and ice cream with sprinkles as you want.) Now, we were prepared to get up several hours before the sun rose and travel for nine hours to the Gulf!
After only two days at the beach, the improbable became inevitable. At 9:30 Monday night, we told the boys that we were packing it up and going home. There was an evacuation.
Leaving the beach with most of our vacation remaining, was a tough, but necessary pill to swallow. And all the "sometimes things like this happen," and "life is not about how you act but how you respond" just doesn't feel right when you're sitting on the bed in the condo at 10 p.m. with your crying son whose vacation hopes have been dashed and who doesn't want to go home.
Vacation is the action of leaving something one previously occupied. We did that on Saturday. Evacuation is the action of leaving from a place of danger in order to go to a safe place. We did that on Tuesday.
Twenty-five percent of our beach vacation was spent riding in the Suburban.
Even as I type these words, I'd rather have sand between my toes and shrimp on my breath. Sure, our vacation turned into an evacuation, but there are a whole lot of reasons to be thankful.
I'm thankful to be safe. The sun is shining today in Tennessee, and we're not worrying about 155 mile-an-hour winds. We're not having to endure the most powerful storm ever recorded to hit the Florida panhandle.
I'm thankful for family. The rest of the week is not like we hoped it would be, but we are together. How good it was to get home Tuesday night and see texts from family members asking one another if they made it home OK.
I'm thankful for home. It's not perfect, but it's ours. When you're forced to evacuate, it sure is good to have a home to go to.

I had this on tap yesterday and I am going from notes.
It is an unfiltered beer, but still looks filtered. I was an amber copper color with some clarity and bubbles coming up through the glass. Great layered lacing as the beer was drank too.
It smelled malty and hoppy. Caramel and bready malts followed by lots of citrus aromas. The bartender says as the beer sits in the conditioning tank, it gets more malty and hoppy. Anyways, it smelled good.
As for taste, this beer was tasty. Alcohol is well hidden and this beer was tasty and delicious.
This beer was silky smooth, medium carbonated, full bodied, and easy to drink.
I was happy to have enjoyed this fresh and tasty DIPA. Wish they did growlers or sold some beers to go.
This is really a fantastically brewed double IPA. It has a classic IPA richness in appearance with a deep orange that seperates golden with the dim lights of the Titanic Brewpub. The smell is crisp and doesn't do the beer justice because when you taste it it's loaded with a great initial bitterness, heavy on the citrus and most specifically grapefruit, and finishes with a little bit of a bite and a great mouthfeel. Like all Titanic beers there's a minimal head but great lacing as you chug *i mean sip* this beer down. Really a go to IPA if you're ever in the Gables area, a treat.
Enjoyed on tap at the brewpub. My ratings on DIPAs are above average, largely because I've had so many fresh. No exception here. Deep golden with brown highlights. Lots of lace. No exceptional aroma, but hey a disinfected bleached glass. Good full hop dose.
A - Cloudy but brilliant reddish-gold, lots of head, and tight thin lacing on every sip. A good looking DIPA.
S - Plenty of pleasant hops; otherwise nothing too special, but nothing off either.
T - Great tasting DIPA. Plenty hoppy, though probably tends more toward the "East Coast DIPA" sub-style in that there's a big malt backing behind those hops.
F - I dig this feel, it has that sticky resin hop feel with good carbonation.
Drinkability very good for a DIPA. This is easily the Titanic's best, most dialed-in seasonal.
A: Poured a nice golden hue with a nice foamy head. The head hung around nicely, and left sheets of lace.
S: Nice big floral aroma. Tons of citrus with a touch of cut grass. There was a sweetness underlying that made this extra nice.
T: Wow big on flavor. Tons and I mean tons of grapefruit taste. There was a nice malty sweet backbone that held this beer together nicely. It finished with a little bite from the hops. I really liked this beer.
M: Nice and thick like maple syrup.
D: Very drinkable for a 9 ABV brew.
Overall: The best beer I have ever had from Titanic. I keep coming back for the wings, but their beers are not half bad either. This beer had tons of grapefruit flavor which masked the fact that it weighs in at over 9% ABV. The only downer on this is Titanic had a one glass limit on this beer. I have no idea why because I would have stayed and watched Monday Night Football if they had let me keep drinking this bad boy.

Si interessò allo studio per il miglioramento dell'auscultazione. Il 17 febbraio 1816 inventò lo stetoscopio.
A lui si deve anche la definizione "il volume del cuore di un soggetto è pari al volume del suo pugno".

Biografia

Infanzia
Nacque a Quimper, cittadina all'estrema punta della Bretagna.
Figlio di Théophile Marie Laennec e Michelle Gabrielle Félicité Guedson, ebbe un'infanzia difficile: la madre morì, infatti, di tubercolosi nel 1786, quando egli aveva solo cinque anni e suo padre, avvocato, non era in grado di occuparsi dei figli. Per questo motivo Laennec venne affidato allo zio Guillaume, medico a Nantes, che gli trasmise la passione per la medicina.

Formazione
I suoi studi medici iniziarono nel 1795 all'Hôpital de la Paix di Nantes, guidato dallo zio. Dopo un esordio come aiuto-chirurgo all'interno dell'esercito, deluso dalla vita militare, partì alla volta di Parigi nel 1801. Sprovvisto di mezzi e senza poter contare sull'aiuto del padre, iniziò a frequentare svariati corsi presso la facoltà di medicina da poco riorganizzata. Qui entrò in contatto con Marie François Xavier Bichat e studiò sotto la guida di Jean-Nicolas Corvisart des Marets, medico di Napoleone Bonaparte. Allo studio teorico affiancò l'esperienza pratica nel campo dell'anatomia patologica, collaborando con medici quali Guillaume Dupuytren e Gaspard Laurent Bayle.
Il 16 giugno 1804 si laureò con una tesi molto apprezzata, dal titolo "Proposizioni sulla dottrina di Ippocrate riguardo alla medicina pratica", nella quale integrò le conoscenze della diagnostica del suo tempo alla mera osservazione dei sintomi di stampo ippocratico.

Invenzione dello stetoscopio

Nel 1816 Laennec ottenne un incarico all'ospedale Necker di Parigi e divenne in poco tempo uno dei più celebri patologi della capitale francese.
Mentre una mattina passeggiava nei pressi del Palazzo del Louvre, ancora un cantiere in costruzione, scorse alcuni ragazzi che giocavano in maniera curiosa. Uno di essi poggiava all'orecchio l'estremità di una pertica lunga e sottile, mentre un altro, messosi all'altra estremità, la percuoteva leggermente con uno spillo.

Il giovane patologo si avvicinò ai ragazzi e chiese loro cosa stessero facendo. Per tutta risposta, uno di essi invitò Laennec a mettersi al suo posto. Incredulo, il medico ascoltò forte e distinto l'impercettibile rumore provocato dallo spillo. Immediatamente considerò che un sistema simile, in piccolo, avrebbe permesso di ascoltare con precisione i battiti cardiaci.

Pochi giorni dopo nell'ospedale dove lavorava si presentò una donna giovane e pingue a tal punto che l'auscultazione diretta si sarebbe presentata poco utile oltre che imbarazzante sia per il medico che per la paziente. Il giovane Laennec, caratterizzato da una particolare sensibilità e da un forte senso del pudore, si ricordò del fenomeno acustico che aveva notato guardando giocare quei bambini. Allora prese un foglio di carta, ne fece un rotolo molto stretto e ne appoggiò un'estremità sulla regione precordiale. Posando l'orecchio all'altro capo, fu tanto sorpreso quanto soddisfatto nel sentire i battiti del cuore più distintamente di quanto fosse stato possibile fare con l'applicazione immediata dell'orecchio.

Laennec pensò di mettere a frutto la sua abilità nel tornire il legno e costruì i primi stetoscopi in serie. I prototipi erano di cedro e di ebano, misuravano trenta centimetri di lunghezza e il canale praticato all'interno era largo cinque millimetri. Nacque così lo stetoscopio (dal greco stéthos, petto, e skopéin, osservare, esplorare), ancora oggi simbolo della professione medica, che innescò una vera e propria rivoluzione in ambito diagnostico.

Il Trattato sull'auscultazione mediata

Nel febbraio 1818 Laennec comunicò la sua invenzione all'Accademia delle Scienze e dopo qualche mese trattò con gli editori Brosson e Chaudé per far pubblicare il suo libro Trattato sull'auscultazione mediata.
Quest'opera fu utile per chiarire la distinzione delle malattie cardiache da quelle polmonari, visto che i loro sintomi sono spesso comuni. Il maggior merito fu quello di confrontare la sintomatologia generale con i risultati dati dalle auscultazioni sui pazienti. Egli riprese tutte le malattie polmonari, precisò quelle già conosciute evidenziandone i sintomi, dissociò quelle che venivano confuse e fornì gli elementi necessari per distinguerle.

Polemiche e morte
Il Trattato fu accolto inizialmente in maniera critica; persino lo zio Guillaume rimase esitante davanti alle novità proposte dal nipote, sebbene poi divenne cosciente della loro portata rivoluzionaria. Furono restii soprattutto i medici legati ad antiche pratiche, come il collega bretone François Broussais, che accusò Laennec in veementi pamphlet di essere un ciarlatano e di aver realizzato uno strumento inutile e dannoso come lo stetoscopio. Broussais pretendeva, invece, di curare ogni tipo di malattia con l'applicazione di sanguisughe, cosa che però fece innalzare l'indice di mortalità della Bretagna. Al contrario, tra i sostenitori non mancarono nomi noti come quelli di Hallé e François-René de Chateaubriand.

L'ardente lavoro dedicato alla stesura del Trattato gravò sulla salute già precaria di Laennec, che nel 1818, vinto da un esaurimento nervoso, fu costretto a concedersi una vacanza in Bretagna sostando a Kerlouanec, Pont l'Abbé e Douarnenez. Tornato a Parigi, donò la sua biblioteca, ricca di numerose collezioni, alla facoltà di medicina e si trasferì in Bretagna. La salute precaria gli impedì di accettare molti incarichi che gli erano stati proposti, tra cui quello di professore di clinica e preside della facoltà di medicina. Riuscì comunque ad insegnare alla Charité e al Collège de France. Nell'aprile del 1826, affetto da tubercolosi, fu costretto a ritirarsi definitivamente in Bretagna, senza però ottenere miglioramenti: vi morì infatti il 13 agosto, paradossalmente a causa di una malattia che aveva a lungo analizzato.

Personalità

Laennec non si confinò nel solo ambito della medicina e della scienza, infatti ebbe un'anima aperta a tutte le aspirazioni. Partendo da una condizione umile e disagiata, senza il sostegno economico e morale del padre che fu sempre indifferente alle sue scelte, restò umile anche dopo aver raggiunto una grande fama.

Dopo una giovinezza burrascosa, vissuta nel mezzo della Rivoluzione e complicata dai disagi economici, nel 1803 Laennec si riavvicinò alla fede tramite la Congregazione Sancta Maria, auxilium christianorum, fondata nel 1801 da Padre Delpuits. La sua massima aspirazione fu che il talento medico riuscisse ad eguagliare le virtù. Non a caso papa Pio VII lo definì medicus pius: una riflessione, un complimento ma anche un programma. La pietà conferisce alla medicina un'importanza particolare: non si tratta più di un'arte, di una professione, di un'occupazione filantropica; si tratta di un dovere di carità, scelto volontariamente, che va adempito in maniera completa.

Come altri componenti della Congregazione, meditò su temi di vita cristiana da discutere dopo la Messa domenicale. La copia inedita di una sua conferenza documenta l'erudizione, la precisione e la chiarezza che non caratterizzano solo i lavori scientifici ma anche le riflessioni più intime.

Fu animato da una grande fede che gli permise di vedere la conoscenza umana non come il diritto di ritenersi superiore ma come il dovere di elevarsi a Dio. Il suo modello fu Gesù, come dice egli stesso in una delle sue conferenze:

Alcune pubblicazioni

Nella cultura di massa
 Nel 1949 uscì in Francia il film Docteur Laennec, girato da Maurice Cloche e interpretato da Jean Bernard-Luc.

Eva Longoria went into damage control mode yesterday, as her long-awaited plans to file for divorce from Tony Parker and control the media herself were thwarted when news leaked that Tony Parker had already filed for divorce in Texas on Monday.
Eva then had her people send out statements to anyone who would listen that Tony had not filed for divorce, and that it was all a big lie. By doing that, she was trying to make the world think everything was fine and hunky dory. Not so much. Now, reports are saying Eva is going to file for divorce as soon as today.
I am wondering what took Tony so long. For the entire time the couple has been together, it always seemed like Eva would rather be with some of her other male friends, or pretending she had some kind of acting career.
When Desperate Housewives ends, so will the fame of Eva. Combined with the fact that the couple do not get to spend much time together, and Tony just signed a long-term extension to remain in San Antonio, this was the last straw.
I would not be surprised also if Eva shows off a new boyfriend soon, which is why she wanted to try and control all the news and tilt it in her favor. She was probably ballistic yesterday, and, oh, I would have loved to have seen it.
Are Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez Dating?

Home Op-Eds U.S. top-ranked in global arms sales
U.S. top-ranked in global arms sales
by Tamar Gabelnick
We're number one, but it's hardly something we should be proud of.
I'm referring to the U.S. ranking in international arms sales.
The United States is first in arms sales to developing countries, capturing a full 50 percent of that market in 2000, according to a recent report by the Congressional Research Service. The United States was also first in arms exports to the world during a year when total arms sales were the highest they have been since 1993.
The United States made more than $18 billion in sales in 2000. Russia, France and Germany were the runners up, with China -- often accused of arms proliferation by U.S. officials -- in fifth place with a meager $400 million worth of new sales.
The United States hawks its military wares worldwide with too little consideration for the possible damaging side effects of such sales. From fueling arms races in the Middle East to arming abusive forces in Indonesia and Colombia, U.S. weapons exports often fly in the face of our government's efforts to promote regional stability and democracy.
What's more, with almost 70 percent of U.S. arms exports going to developing countries last year, we may be encouraging poor nations to spend money on fancy weapons they can ill afford. U.S. arms manufacturers are now salivating over the market potential in Latin America, which was cut off to high-tech U.S. arms exports from 1976 to 1997 because of repressive military regimes in the region. Chile and Brazil are currently planning fighter jet purchases worth hundreds of millions of dollars -- money that could serve their citizens better if invested in education, health care and public infrastructure.
The top U.S. customers are in the Middle East and Asia.
Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are in a quasi-permanent arms race, each needing to one-up the other with the latest purchase of high-tech fighter jets, attack helicopters and missiles. While technically at peace with each other, these states could easily aggravate tensions in the region with the purchase of such high-powered arms.
In Asia, the Pentagon justifies large quantities of arms shipments to South Korea and Taiwan by emphasizing that the sales are for defensive purposes. But major high-tech weapons purchases cannot help diminish simmering tensions between Taiwan and mainland China or stabilize the rocky peace process between North and South Korea.
U.S. arms manufacturers constantly whine about the bureaucracy behind the arms export licensing process. They claim that all the "red tape" -- a vetting process designed to protect U.S. national security and other interests -- hinders their ability to compete in the global marketplace. But now that the report reveals that they control 50 percent of the global market, it's obvious U.S. arms manufacturers never had much reason to complain.
The United States has criticized Russia for selling high-tech weapons to Iran, and China for selling missile components to Pakistan. But the United States is just as guilty of putting profits before prudence when authorizing arms exports.
If Washington is really concerned about the risks of conventional arms proliferation, it should act quickly to implement the International Code of Conduct Act that Congress passed into law in 1999. The act would require U.S. administrations to negotiate with other arms exporters to establish a common set of criteria that would make sales conditional on the buying nation's respect for human rights and its promotion of international peace and security. The United States could help start the ball rolling in this effort by unilaterally applying such stringent export criteria.
By restricting its own sales, the United States could make a strong case to other exporters that the more arms deals are sealed, the more dangerous the world becomes.

Ted Nugent Praises Golden Globes Host Ricky Gervais for Calling Out Political Award Show Speeches
Ethan Miller / Paul Drinkwater, Getty Images
Hollywood award shows have taken some criticism in recent years with many award winners using their platform to share their political views in hopes of influencing opinion and action. During last night's Golden Globes, host and comedian Ricky Gervais called out the practice during his opening monologue, which has drawn raves from conservative musician Ted Nugent.
Gervais has become a popular host for the ceremony, often not holding back on his jabs all in the name of humor and sometimes making a point. During the open of the show, he offered, "If you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You're in no position to lecture the public about anything. You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg."
Nugent weighed in on the monologue, and in particular Gervais' political speech commentary, via his social media Monday morning (Jan. 6). "Stop the presses! MayDay mayDay! Emergency all hands on deck! A phenomenal unprecedented ray of truth logic commonsense and honesty from Hollywood! 21 gun salute Ricky!," wrote Nugent.
He added, "Comedian Ricky Gervais is my new hero from last night's Golden Globes! He said to the denial addicted fakeworld idiot actors in attendance: 'If you do win an award tonight, don't use it as a platform to make a political speech, right? You're in no position to lecture the public about anything,' he said. 'You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.' Amen."

Our concept is a combination of different subjects, people, experiences and projects.
The name refers is to a Belgian "Vlaamse Reus" which is the largest rabbit in the world, translated as the "Flemish Giant". They are known for their size, soft character and intelligence.
The attitude behind our brand is that anything is possible. When there is a will, there is a way!
Stan Claeys – The mastermind behind the scene: Brings together an array of vast (technical/hands on) experiences. These experiences singularly presented adventurous journeys and accolades for his career. Yet, when combined, a sure recipe for success!
With his experience in the movie industry in Belgium and the Middle East, then leading an adventure Tourism Company in the Middle East followed by moving to Costa Rica where he worked on a few personal projects. This includes, starting a bakery, building and operating a rental vacation home, designing concepts for some local businesses, and building a house for himself from all the waste and leftover material that construction sites in the village 'produced'.
It is this last project that opened the gateway and presented a live example that became the base for FlamingRabbit.
Some just shift the problem and others make good use of their waste.
We could go on and on discussing and shifting the blame. That will never make the problems disappear. The world has reached a stage, that even if we pull all our resources together it will take a long time to reverse the effects of this long and necessary step.
Nevertheless, this is not why we are here! FlamingRabbit stands for the attitude: Anything is possible; when there is a will there is a way!
We refuse to get political! That is not what we do best!


Courtney Love was trapped as protesters banged on her car in Paris.
Angry French taxi drivers rioted against Uber drivers, setting cars on fire, attacking police, and disrupting traffic for miles.
Love tweeted: "I'm safer in Baghdad." Her car window was smashed and called it, "The scariest day of my life."
She finally got free, by catching a ride from two motorcyclists who came to her rescue: "We got out after being held hostage for an hour thanks to these two guys. I want to go home."

Q: How to use select inputs with Crowd HTML for mturk I'm trying to set up a question with a select/dropdown for answers on mechanical turk, using Crowd HTML.
This is what I've got so far, but it doesn't give me a dropdown feature when testing, and it just appears as an ordinary text input. The documentation says this:
type
Takes a string to set the HTML5 input-type behavior for the input. Examples include file and date.
So based on this I think it should work but clearly no dice. Any ideas on how to do this? Thank you
<crowd-input name="qualificationType" type="select" required>
                <option value="">High School</option>
                <option value="">Some College</option>
                <option value="">Associate Degree</option>
                <option value="">Bachelor's Degree</option>
                <option value="">Professional Degree</option>
                <option value="">Master's Degree</option>
                <option value="">Doctorate Degree</option>
            </crowd-input>

A: A dropdown list is a select element, which you can use in mturk. Change what you have to:
<select name="qualificationType" required>
            <option value="">High School</option>
            <option value="">Some College</option>
            <option value="">Associate Degree</option>
            <option value="">Bachelor's Degree</option>
            <option value="">Professional Degree</option>
            <option value="">Master's Degree</option>
            <option value="">Doctorate Degree</option>
        </select>

And it should work

So over the course of last semester I tried 3D Printing for the first time! So it's funny, but the Yonsei business school actually has a 3D printing garage on the 1st floor (far right when you enter). You need to apply for scheduled classes and learn how to do it before you can actually start 3D printing by yourself. The lab assistants are really helpful in case you don't know what you're doing and they're very willing to help.
We started off with the lesson (which is conducted in Korean therefore you need to have a certain level of understanding). They use a certain program (can't remember the name of it for the life of me). Anyway, learned how to find certain things that we wanted to print and then check it out in the program. I chose to print this ring that consists of 3 different rings that are within each other. The way this gyroscopic ring works is that it's not a flat out ring, but they're wider in the middle, and therefore it's how they can turn within each other but they cannot be detached from each other.
After selecting my project and editing the rate of production and all, we started putting it into work!
It was pretty interesting watching it work and although it took longer than an hour it was interesting to just sit there and watch how the 3D printer makes an object that is sturdy and concrete, with just layers over layers. This is the final product and I was really happy with it. Definitely gonna keep going back to print, especially since it's free for business students! Really love it. Anyway if you're interested in watching how it works I've compiled a really short video below. Enjoy!

Nokia goes Communicator crazy
E-series expands
Andrew Orlowski Wed 7 Feb 2007 // 22:07 UTC
Under fire from financial analysts for the tepid performance of its Enterprise group, Nokia is set to add two new products to its business range and revamp its hit communicator, the E61.
The long awaited successor to the Series 80-based 9000 range, the E90, offers a full QWERTY keyboard and widescreen display in a device with a sliding hinge. based on S60.
Specifications were leaked to My-Symbian in December and removed at Nokia's request revealed 800 x 352 (main) and 320 x 240 (front) displays, integrated GPS, and in line with the rest of the E-series, Wi-Fi and 3G support.
Java benchmarks for the E90 filed by Canadian carrier Rogers suggest a device with 3x the performance of today's E61 - although that's not a phone exactly optimized for multimedia.
Pictures of the first slider phone in the E-series business range, the E65, have leaked on to the web in the past few days,
Nokia's E65 slider business phone
There are more pictures at and a video here.
The E65 is ready to ship.
Nokia will also unveil an enhanced version of the E61, with camera and slightly revamped keyboard - the E61i. Initially regarded as a Blackberry knock-off, the E61 has become a success for the company with IT departments, and has picked up some distinguished fans.
Nokia's E61i
Nokia deserves much credit with its E-series phones for defying its biggest customers - the cellphone carriers - and building in WLAN and SIP stacks into all of the devices, creating a new market of VoIP providers. By integrating the SIP stack with the device's power management there's a clear advantage over rivals running VoIP as a third party application.
Nokia's first attempt at a "Communicator", the 9000, debuted 11 years ago, using an Intel chip and the GEOS operating system. Nokia adopted Symbian for the "brick" design in 2001, following up with a slimmed-down version, the 9300 two years ago.
Alas there's no word for fans of the "gullwing" design, last embodied by the Nokia E70. The red-headed stepchild of the E-series range got a chilly reception from carriers, despite its unique advantage of boasting a full QWERTY keyboard in a regular form factor housing. Users have been waiting since August for a firmware update - with an official version 3 update never reaching customers. We understand new firmware is in the offing, however.
It would be a pity if this was the last we saw of Nokia's cleverest and most practical design in recent years.

Glitch is spilling private data and there's not much Apple users can do about it
Laura Dobberstein Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 18:31 UTC 12
An improperly implemented API that stores data on browsers has caused a vulnerability in Safari 15 that leaks user internet activity and personal identifiers.
The vulnerability was discovered by fraud detection service Fingerprint JS, which has contacted the WebKit maintainers and provided a public source code repository.
As of 28 November last year, the issue had not been fixed, so the team at Fingerprint JS decided to make the finding public to encourage the expedition of its repair.
Buy 'em by the punnet: Raspberry Pi offers RP2040 chips in bulk
'Reel'-y cheap – like $0.70 a pop
Liam Proven in Prague Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 17:28 UTC 6
If you only need the smallest of Raspberry Pi chips, but you need a lot of them, you can now buy the gang's RP2040 microcontrollers directly from the farm supplier in lots of 500 or 3,400.
Because the Raspberry Pi range is so cheap, people use lots of them – even in places where a complete Linux computer is arguably overkill. That's probably why, this time last year, the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the Raspberry Pi Pico, a $4 device based around the RP2040 microcontroller – its first in-house CPU design.
The end-user version of the Pi Pico is a tiny PCB containing the RP2040 system-on-a-chip (SoC) and 2 MB of flash memory. (The board is a hair over 2×5cm, so only slightly bigger than an old-style DIP chip such as a Z80.) The RP2040 is still an ARM, but a tiny one: a dual-core 133 MHz Cortex M0+, plus 264 kB of RAM.
Ukraine blames Belarus for PC-wiping 'ransomware' that has no recovery method and nukes target boxen
And for last week's digital graffiti operations, too
Gareth Corfield Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 16:24 UTC 11
After last week's website defacements, Ukraine is now being targeted by boot record-wiping malware that looks like ransomware but with one crucial difference: there's no recovery method. Officials have pointed the finger at Belarus.
Move over exoplanets, exomoons are the next big thing
Is that an extremely large moon we see outside the solar system, astro-boffins ask themselves
Lindsay Clark Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 15:25 UTC 10
Scientists have spotted a new candidate for a moon existing outside of our solar system, with only a 1 per cent chance the observation could be an anomaly.
More than 4,000 exoplanets have been mapped since the first was found in 1992. Although the finding of worlds beyond the Earth's immediate star system generated much excitement at the time, exoplanets are not so rare a discovery in recent years: US space agency NASA once found 700 in a single haul.
However, the existence of moons outside the solar system has yet to be confirmed. Going with the thinking that there's nothing particularly special about our own solar system, which is host to more than 200 moons, then we might assume they are also commonplace elsewhere.
Cloud spending back to business as usual at end of 2021: Slight slowdown was a blip due to overprovisioning
IDC figures suggest providers had extra inventory to shift after pandemic panic
Dan Robinson Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 14:29 UTC
Spending on compute and storage infrastructure for the cloud rose by 6.6 per cent during the last quarter following a cooldown in the middle of 2021 due to overprovisioning by cloud providers in response to the pandemic.
The figures come from IDC's latest worldwide quarterly enterprise infra tracker that traces buyer and cloud deployment. The report shows that spending on compute and storage infrastructure products increased to $18.6bn during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
This resumes the underlying trend of net positive year-on-year spending growth in each quarter, which, according to IDC, saw a dip in the second quarter of 2021 when spending actually decreased by 1.9 per cent.
Umbrella company Parasol Group confirms cyber attack as 'root cause' of prolonged network outage
'Malicious activity on our network' spotted, says CEO, as some contractors say they've still not been paid
Paul Kunert Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 13:28 UTC 12
Umbrella company Parasol Group has confirmed why it shut down part of its IT last week: it found unauthorised activity from an intruder.
As reported by us on Friday, the umbrella company's MyParasol portal, where timesheets are submitted, was not accessible due to a multi-day outage starting on 12 January, impacting the processing of payroll.
Tech freelancers suspected a cyberattack was to blame for the blackout and sure enough the Group wrote to customers at the close of last working week to explain in more detail what had happened.
Sorry, that IP address is on the naughty step
Richard Speed Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 12:24 UTC 52
Microsoft appears to have delivered the unwanted Christmas gift of email blocklisting to Linode IP addresses, and two weeks into 2022 the company does not seem ready to relent.
Problems started as large chunks of the world began packing up for the festive period. Complaints cropped up on Linode's support forums when customers began encountering problems sending email to Microsoft 365 accounts from their own email servers.
On that thread, a Linode staffer acknowledged there was an issue and suggested a number of alternative third-party email services as a stopgap as well as saying: "Microsoft has acknowledge[d] the problem and looking into it [sic]."

Feeling old yet? Let the Reg ruin your day for you. We are now substantially closer to the 2038 problem (5,849 days) than it has been since the Year 2000 problem (yep, 8,049 days since Y2K).
Why do we mention it? Well, thanks to keen-eyed Reg reader Calum Morrison, we've spotted a bit of the former, and a hint of what lies beneath the Beeb's digital presence, when he sent in a snapshot that implies Old Auntie might be using a 32-bit Linux in iPlayer, and something with a kernel older than Linux 5.10, too.
That 2020 kernel release was the first able to serve as a base for a 32-bit system designed to run beyond 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038.
Edge computing set for growth – that is, when we can agree what it is
Analyst predicts double-digit percentage uptick in '22
Dan Robinson Mon 17 Jan 2022 // 10:28 UTC 9
Worldwide spending on edge computing is expected to see double-digit growth this year, according to new figures from analyst IDC.
It also predicted investments in edge will reach $176bn in 2022, an increase of 14.8 per cent over last year.
"Edge computing continues to gain momentum as digital-first organisations seek to innovate outside of the data centre," IDC research vice president Dave McCarthy said in a statement, adding that the diverse needs of edge deployments have created a market opportunity for technology suppliers, increasingly through partnerships and alliances.

Opinion There's much talk of the Open Source Sustainability Problem. From individual developers to Google's White House lobbying, the issue seems simple but intractable. Is the willingness of volunteer coders a solid enough basis for the long-term health of essential infrastructure?
This is, of course, balderdash. It's not an open source problem, it's a software problem. All software needs resources to adapt as the working environment changes, resources the changed environment may not provide. Look how many out-of-support versions of Windows still limp on like superannuated footy players in the Sunday leagues.
According to StatCounter, as of December 2021, one in seven PCs still runs Windows 7. One in 200 is on XP. Try getting Microsoft to update either.

The Fighting 29th
All about New York's 29th Congressional District
Posts containing my opinion of the race.
Wishing Doesn't Make It So
Thu, 06/03/2010 - 07:34 — Rottenchester
Reader Joe, who also is a volunteer for Janice Volk's campaign, sends this open letter [pdf] from Janice. It's a pretty typical new candidate piece -- short on specifics and long on generalities.
The big question, money, gets answered at the end:
Please consider joining my campaign as a volunteer, I am not comfortable asking for your money during these difficult economic times, but I will ask for your help.
Running for Congress is not like running for dogcatcher. You can't just put a couple of hundred bucks out of your pocket, print up a few yard signs, and knock on some doors. If Janice Volk isn't willing to ask for money, she's not a serious candidate.
Immigration and Elections
Reader Up in Prattsburgh points out that Tom Reed is fine with Arizona's immigration law. I don't know why Republican candidates think they need to have a hard-line immigration position. It's clear that the only constituents who are seriously interested in immigration, farmers, want more lenient guest worker programs, and have little interest in what Arizona is doing, unless it impacts their ability to hire migrant workers.
In other news, Sean Carroll talks to the former head of the Monroe County Bar Association, who says that the lawsuit attempting to force a special election will probably be thrown out.
CQ Speculation
Mon, 04/19/2010 - 17:32 — Rottenchester
Rochesterturning picks up this CQ item which speculates that David Nachbar might run for the 29th seat in the Fall, assuming Governor Paterson doesn't call a special election. Nachbar fuels this speculation by telling CQ that he would consider running in the general.
With State Assemblyman Joe Errigo's retirement now official, I continue to agree with Philbrick at Mustard Street that Nachbar will end up running for Errigo's seat, as I predicted earlier this month.
Zeller certainly hasn't hit the ground running, probably because he has no money, so Nachbar may think he can sneak back in. I certainly don't blame him for not wanting an Assembly seat. But I think Joe Morelle has spoken, and he wants Nachbar to take a run at Errigo's seat, which he has a better chance of winning.
My Best Guesses
Fri, 04/09/2010 - 09:35 — Rottenchester
Here are the tea leaves I'm reading to explain why Matt Zeller ended up with the nod to run for the 29th seat:
Last night I was randomly polled by "Central Research" on a New York State Senate matchup: incumbent Republican Jim Alesi versus Mary Wilmot. Wilmot was one of the names mentioned for the 29th seat, so this explains where she's going.
With the rumor that Assemblyman Joe Errigo may retire, my guess is that David Nachbar will run for that seat this Fall. Nachbar paid his dues by losing to Alesi in 2008.
Democrats don't want to lose David Koon's seat. With the possibility of the special election either not happening, or coinciding with the September primary, a Koon run would have endangered his seat, so he's out of the 29th fight.
The Monroe County Democratic Party would rather keep Koon's seat, and put two independently wealthy self-funders up for the Alesi and Errigo seats, than take a long shot in the 29th. That's how Zeller became the sacrificial lamb in this race.
Alesi's seat is probably unwinnable, because he's both moderate and reasonably popular, but what Mary Wilmot will spend to try to take the seat amounts to a rounding error in the Wilmorite fortune. Using her money to put a dent in Alesi is an appealing prospect for the MCDC. The Errigo seat is probably gettable, and Nachbar is the best candidate that the MCDC has, so his positioning makes sense.
It ain't pretty, but I'm pretty sure that's what happened.
Getting A Little Ahead of Ourselves
Reader Joe let me know that Gannett is reporting that Paterson will not have a special election. Now CBS has picked up the same story.
Here's the problem. Gannett headlined their story "Governor won't call special election for Eric Massa's former seat". But the body of the story says:
McKeon indicated no decision has been made on whether to wait until the Nov. 2 general election to fill the seat, but she said the governor also is concerned about disenfranchising voters serving in the military overseas.
Paterson is clearly signaling that there might not be a special election, but it hasn't been announced officially.
MPN Editorial
Tue, 03/30/2010 - 10:34 — Rottenchester
Reader Joe sends this Messenger-Post editorial about the lack of primaries in the 29th.
The special election is, well, special, but I have a general suggestion not mentioned in the editorial: move the primaries back. Congressional elections require a huge commitment of money and effort from the respective parties. There's not enough time between the primary (September 14 this year) and the general (November 2) for parties to mount that effort on behalf of the candidate chosen by voters. That's one of the reasons that party committees put huge pressure on the process to avoid primaries.
There are other reasons, so this isn't a cure-all, but it might help.
He (or She) Who Must Not Be Named
Sat, 03/27/2010 - 11:45 — Rottenchester
I guess Lord Voldemort will be the next Democratic candidate for the 29th seat, according to State Chair June O'Neill:
"We've decided we're not going to talk about individual candidates by name," said June O'Neill, the state party's executive committee chair.
O'Neill would only say that the individuals included males and females, both elected officials and private citizens, and that some live outside the district but all have ties to the district. She added that the party is casting "a very broad net" and candidates are still emerging.
Steuben Glass
In the comments on the previous post, Elmer pointed out this story about the formal stemware contract the State Department gave to a foreign bidder.
This is an example of the kind of thing that the local Congressman would be all over, if we had one.
How Reed Can Lose
Wed, 03/24/2010 - 17:46 — Rottenchester
I think Reed is a lock to win this race, but the past couple of days of Republican behavior (by others, not Reed), makes me think that there might be an opening for a Democrat to squeak by him. Here's how it could work:
First, Paterson needs to delay the special election as long as possible, but he needs to call one. Special election turnout is hard to get and is generally all about the base. If Democrats can motivate their base to turn out, and blanks are indifferent, a Democrat has a chance to win.
Second, we need to have more brick throwing, death threats, talk of tyranny, etc. The more the better (for Reed's opponent, not the country). Nobody likes to hear about at least 10 serious threats against Members of Congress over a fairly modest insurance reform.
Third, Reed's opponent needs to get in his face about that kind of stuff, and ask him to disown it. Here's an example:
(Those are sniper sight images.) Remember that in 2006 Randy Kuhl put out an ad showing Eric Massa targeting sniper fire at the elderly in the district. That ad came down pretty quickly. Perhaps Reed's opponent could ask him to disown this image -- which, remember, comes from a serious Republican, who was nominated to be the VP of a 72-year-old -- given the death threats, including one aimed at the children of an 80-year-old grandmother, Louise Slaughter.
Fourth, Republicans need to make repeal the cornerstone of their Fall campaign. That gives Reed no positive program to run on. Bonus points if they listen to Newt and pledge to shutdown government for two years until they regain the Senate and Presidency.
Finally, the NRCC and DCCC need to decide this race is a bellewether, and pour tons of money and ads into it. If Republicans are running on repeal, Democrats will be able to say that Tom Reed wants to re-instate insurance denials for pre-existing conditions.
If all these things happened, I wouldn't be surprised to see a close election. I don't think it's going to happen. I think the election will be won or lost on jobs, the economy and the memory of Eric Massa's shenanigans. But if Sarah and Newt are still in charge two months from now, all bets are off.
Debunking Some Talking Points
The bill isn't popular.
Pre-passage polls that showed a majority disliking the bill always had the issue of liberals who didn't think it went far enough, others who weren't well-informed about it, and some who were disgusted with the process. Now that the bill is law, early polls aren't showing a major backlash. Of course, this is an ongoing process, but the notion that Americans are going to rise up to smite insurance reform has always been a bit far-fetched. There were far more protesters calling for immigration reform in DC on Sunday than there were protesters yelling about healthcare reform.
The bill is unconstitutional and will be repealed.
Maybe, but I haven't heard many compelling specific arguments. Medicare requires a mandatory tax to fund healthcare. The government can require people to buy insurance. There's nothing radically new in the bill.
Republicans can de-fund this if they take over Congress.
Congress has never de-funded a major entitlement. And taking over Congress is a big job -- Democrats have big majorities in both Houses.
Prohibition was repealed.
That wasn't an entitlement. And people love to drink. They don't love worrying about whether they're going to have insurance if they lose their job.

Q: Can the total variation measure of a complex measure be related to its real and imaginary parts? If $\mu$ is a signed measure with Jordan decomposition $\mu=\mu^+-\mu^-$, then the total variation measure of $\mu$ is equal to $\mu^++\mu^-$.  My question is, is it similarly possible to express the total variation measure of a complex measure $\mu$ in terms of its real and imaginary parts $\mu_r$ and $\mu_i$?
Maybe $|\mu_r|^2 + |\mu_i|^2$ or the square root of that or something?

A: The short answer is no. To begin with, the total variation of a complex measure is defined as $$|\mu|(E):=\sup\left\{\sum_{j\in J}|\mu(A_j)|:\{A_j\}_{j\in J}\text{ is a disjoint measurable partition of }E\right\}.$$
Now, here's a counterexample to your question. In $\mathbb{R}$ with Borel sigma algebra, consider the measure $\mu=\delta_1-(1+i)\delta_0$. Thus, according to your notation, $\mu_r=\delta_1-\delta_0$ and $\mu_i=-\delta_0$.
Then $|\mu_r(\{0,1\})|=2$ and $|\mu_i(\{0,1\})|=1$ but $$|\mu|(\{0,1\})=|\mu(\{0\})|+|\mu(\{1\})|=\sqrt{2}+1.$$


In the past, people like myself trying to buy a home always turned to their banks to get a mortgage, but it appears that times have changed. In doing some research, I found that that in 2003, 26% of mortgages were given by mortgage brokers, and that number went up to 40% by 2009.
The emergence of mortgage brokers begs the question: Who do you go with and why? Many people prefer to go directly to their bank because of their pre-existing relationship. You already know the bank you will be dealing with, and you might trust them because there is more accountability at a larger financial institution. The other advantage is the ability to add your mortgage to an existing bank profile from which you can make automatic payments, simplifying the process.
This sounds great, but there are cons as well: Conservative loan programs set the price and leave little to no wiggle room. The process is bureaucratic and can be quite lengthy. This seemed like the norm when we got our first mortgage and we were mildly satisfied with the result.
As we started our application for our second mortgage, the mortgage broker was easy to get in touch with and offered a less difficult application process. She did all the shopping for us and presented us with the best rates available. She also had wholesale prices because she buys mortgages in bulk from lenders —and the one offered to us was much lower than what the bank offered.
Because they have access to and have extensive knowledge about the current mortgage market, brokers can immediately weed out which banks will consider you, and which ones will refuse you. If you have bad credit, going with a broker is advantageous because they have access to many lenders, some of which specialize in clients who have negative financial reputations.
Throughout the whole process, the broker was there for us. She helped us through every step, from figuring out what we can realistically afford, to determining which mortgage product is right for us. Once the mortgage was closed, we were able to contact her about anything and has offered to help us until the very end of our payments. They provide a much closer personal service than banks do. Plus, you may not even get the same person if you need a mortgage with the bank in the future; whereas with a broker, you can go straight to the source whenever you need a mortgage.
Keep in mind, every situation is unique. If you have the time, knowledge, and resources to hunt for your own rate at each individual bank and lender, go for it. But if you want an expert's opinion with access to the whole market and better deals, contact Mortgage West - The Mortgage Centre and get started today.

Q: Occasionally pods will be created with no network which results in the pod failing repeatedly with CrashLoopBackOff Occasionally, I see an issue where a pod will start up without network connectivity. Because of this, the pod goes into a CrashLoopBackOff and is unable to recover. The only way I am able to get the pod running again is by running a kubectl delete pod and waiting for it to reschedule. Here's an example of a liveness probe failing due to this issue:
Liveness probe failed: Get http://172.20.78.9:9411/health: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
I've also noticed that there are no iptables entries for the pod IP when this happens. When the pod is deleted and rescheduled (and is in a working state) I have the iptables entries.
If I turn off the livenessprobe in the container and exec into it, I confirmed it has no network connectivity to the cluster or the local network or internet.
Would like to hear any suggestions as to what it could be or what else I can look into to further troubleshoot this scenario.

A: Looks like your network driver is not working properly. Without more information about your setup, I could only suggest you the following:

*

*Find out what network driver was used? You can tell by checking kubelet --network-plugin flag. If no network plugin is specified, then it is using native docker network.

*Given the network driver, examine the pod network setup and see what is missing. Use tcpdump to see where the packet goes.

A: I don't have enough points to comment so this answer is in response to Prashanth B (https://stackoverflow.com/users/5446771/prashanth-b)
Let me describe "without network connectivity" in more detail.   When I exec into one of the pods that is suffering from the originally described symptoms this is what sort of network issues I see.
In this example we have a pod which is suffering from what appears to be a pod without any network connectivity.
First I ping the routeable ip of the physical node (eth0 interface) from the pod.  This works from pods on the same node that are working normally.
# ping 10.30.8.66
PING 10.30.8.66 (10.30.8.66): 56 data bytes
92 bytes from tv-dmx-prototype-3638746950-l8fgu (172.20.68.16):
Destination Host Unreachable
^C

Trying internal or external DNS resolution.  I don't expect the ping's to work but this is the only available tool in the container to do name resolution.  I can't install anything else because of no networking.
# ping kubernetes
^C
# ping www.google.com
^C
#

From another pod in the same cluster and on the same physical node as the not working pod I will attempt to connect to a port that is open on the pod.
/ # telnet 172.20.68.16 80
telnet: can't connect to remote host (172.20.68.16): Host is unreachable
/ #

From the physical node I cannot connect the pod ip on port 80
core@ip-10-30-8-66 ~ $ curl 172.20.68.16:80
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 172.20.68.16 port 80: No route to host

I looked through the troubleshooting guide at https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/debugging-services/ but that guide is targeted at diagnosing problems connecting a kubernetes service to one or more pods.  In my scenario we experience an unpredictable behavior with the creation of a pod which is not service specific.   For example we are seeing this 1 - 3 times a week across 3 different clusters spanning dozens of 'deployments'.    It's never the same deployment which has the problem and our only recourse is to delete the pod after which it get's instantiated correctly.
I have gone through the relevant pieces of the troubleshooting guide and posted them here.
Here we see that kubelet and kube-proxy are running
root       7186   7167  2 Jan19 ?        15:14:25 /hyperkube proxy          --master=https://us-east-1-services-kubernetes.XXXXX.com
 --proxy-mode=iptables --kubeconfig=/var/lib/kube-proxy/kubeconfig
core      25646  26300  0 19:22 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --colour=auto -i hyperkube

kubelet --address=0.0.0.0 --pod-manifest-path=/etc/kubernetes/manifests --enable-server --logtostderr=true --port=10250 --allow-privileged=True --max-pods=110 --v=2 --api_servers=https://us-east-1-services-kubernetes.XXXXXX.com --enable-debugging-handlers=true --cloud-provider=aws --cluster_dns=172.16.0.10 --cluster-domain=cluster.local --kubeconfig=/var/lib/kubelet/kubeconfig --node-labels=beta.kubernetes.io/instance-type=c4.8xlarge,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/region=us-east-1,failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-east-1d,kubernetes.io/hostname=ip-10-30-8-66.ec2.internal,public-hostname=ec2-52-207-185-19.compute-1.amazonaws.com,instance-id=i-03074c6772d89ede8

I've verified kube-proxy is proxying by hitting other pods on this same node.
core@ip-10-30-8-66 ~ $ curl 172.20.68.12 80

<title>301 Moved Permanently</title>

301 Moved Permanently

nginx/1.11.4

curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server

A new version of the app just got deployed and I lost my pod that I was troubleshooting with.   I will start preparing some additional commands to run when this symptom occurs again.   I will also run a high volume of deployment creations since the number of bad pods we get is in relation to the volume of new pods that are being created.

A: In response to freehan (https://stackoverflow.com/users/7577983/freehan)
We are using the default network plugin which as you pointed out is the native docker one.
Regarding the suggestion to use tcpdump to capture the packet's path.  Do you know an easy way to determine which veth is associated with a given pod?
I plan on running a container that has tcpdump installed and watch the traffic on the veth associated with the problem pod while initiating a outbound network traffic from the pod (eg: ping, dig, curl or whatever is available in the given pod).
Let me know if you had something else in mind and I will try that.

A: I am thinking that we are hitting this bug https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/1785.   I've verified that I can reproduce the bug listed on our version of docker/coreos.  Will coreos/docker and verify.

CAMP ARIFJAN, KUWAIT - Servicemembers and civilians kicked-off celebrations for the 98th Warrant Officer Corps birthday during a Warrant Officer Heritage 5-kilometer run at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait July 9.
"It was important to put this event together to showcase what the Warrant Officer Corps is all about and reflect on our heritage," said Chief Warrant Officer 5 Harry Pershad, event coordinator.
Warrant officers bonded with service members throughout the day offering career advice and personal experience in their respective duties as well as what it means to them to be a member of the corps.
"It was great to have personal interaction with someone who had experience in the field I'm interested in," said Staff Sgt. Nathaniel Guzman, a military intelligence debriefer for U.S. Army Central.
Soldiers interested in becoming a warrant officer were encouraged to attend a career recruitment briefing that highlighted the opportunities, qualifications, and application process to become a warrant officer in the U.S. Army.
Following the briefing, attendees met for a birthday cake cutting ceremony and queried the warrant officers over lunch.
"It is important to get to know these Soldiers and develop relationships on a personal lever because it's what makes us such a unique and close community," said Pershad.
Several members of the warrant officer corps reviewed applications for Servicemembers who had completed packets, offering constructive critiques and guidance.
"I want to be a warrant officer because they are the subject matter experts in their field, their answers are golden, and I want to spend my career perfecting my field to achieve that standard," said Guzman.

Energy efficiency was a high priority as this home comes equipped with a Sunpower solar array, white dual-paned windows with upgraded low-E glass, tankless hot water heater, central a/c and heat and a radiant barrier installed on the roof sheathing.
