When Pru Marlowe is called to a forest clearing to help with an illegally trapped bear, she finds a colleague passed out drunk, his pet ferret locked in his truck. When one of her old running buddies turns up dead as well and then the town's pampered pets begin to disappear, Pru can't tell if her heavy-drinking colleague is involved - or how much the ferret, a wise little creature called Frank, knows. Frank's not communicating - even to her - and for once the bad-girl animal psychic is at a loss.
The offer of a job - and maybe something more - from a hunky warden only complicates Pru's life as she goes on her rounds between her small Berkshires hometown and the woods that lie beyond. And although her crotchety tabby, Wallis, would have her make some changes in what has become a familiar routine, Pru knows her special skills set her apart as the only one who can shed light on these crimes - and save the animals at risk.
But as the mysteries pile up, Pru is forced to admit that even a city-hardened animal communicator can't understand everything that's going on, and that a small town may be as dangerous as the darkest woods when a predator is on the prowl.

De Leon Springs State Park is a big spring with 72 degree F clear fresh water perfect for snorkeling and swimming. The setting is not as natural as the other springs. The edges of the De Leon Spring have been concreted, providing broad stairs for access to the water. Consider it a cross between a public swimming pool and a natural spring.
Canoes, kayaks and paddle boats can be rented from the park's concession. The paddling trail will take you through Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge – 22,000 acres of lakes, creeks and marshes to explore.
Hiking trails include the 4.2 mile Wild Persimmon Hiking Trail and the half mile paved Nature Trail through a flood plain forest with cypress and hardwoods, including a 600 year old cypress tree. Imagine that! While Joan of Arc was liberating Orleans, this tree was already at least twenty years old.
Wildlife here is prolific. De Leon Springs is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. You'll certainly see plenty of wading birds in the Spring Garden Run, and Bald eagles nest in Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. A full bird list is available at the park. Wildlife that you might see includes otters, alligators, manatees, black bear, turtles, deer and jumping mullet.
Picnics are well catered for. Beneath the shade of old oak trees there are tables, grills and a playground for those wishing to have a picnic. You can also cook your own pancakes at the Sugar Mill Restaurant, in the old sugar mill.
Boat tours are offered four times a day through the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. You'll see wildlife such as water birds, alligators and tortoises on these tours and learn about the local history.
Fishing is excellent here. You'll need a fresh water fishing license.

Q: Install Nuget package using "dotnet add package -s" fail when specify private Github Nuget feed I have a private feed from GitHub that I added to Nuget.config file:
<add key="github" value="https://nuget.pkg.github.com/..." />

I can confirm it works by using dotnet nuget list source (see screenshot below).
However when running dotnet add package -s github PackageName, it fails with "There are no versions available for the package" error. Removing the -s github works (and it installs from the Private feed if it is on the top).

Although I can manually run it for myself (removing -s), I am writing a script to install it for other developers. I need to reliably install it from the private feed even if it's not on the top of the list. There may be packages in nuget.org with the same name in our private feed.
Why does specifying package source with -s not work? How do I fix it?

A: The Microsoft docs are saying:

-s|--source <SOURCE>
The URI of the NuGet package source to use during the restore operation.

So I'd expect the command to be like this:
dotnet add package -s https://nuget.pkg.github.com/... PackageName

Know Thy Vehicle - The Suspension
Fun and Safe Driving Forum Index » Know your car
Astraist
Master Driver
The ability of the drivetrain to supply force, is meaningless if this force cannot be applied unto the road through the tires' contact patches. The tires contact patch has to remain consistent via use of a suspension. This article will delve into the mechanical aspects in the operation of the chassis, suspension arms, springs, dampers, anti-roll bars, bushings, wheel alignment, wheels and tires. Sounds complex? Don't worry, that because it is!
Dynamic Coefficient
The dynamic coefficient of the chassis donates a number of generally static details about it's performance. These details include the gross weight, weight distribution, height of the center of gravity, track width and wheelbase.
The car's weight is the final limitation of the car's ability to generate a G-Force. Modern, non-aerodynamic cars, regardless of suspension and tire technology, can never go much beyond 1G (most cars don't even get so far) of a force in braking or turning, simply because of their weight.
The weight increases the downforce on the tires, which means more grip, but equally so it increases the force or the demands of this grip when the car is being turned, accelerated or braked. The problem is the weight also causes the tire's coefficient of friction decrease slightly so overall some grip is lost. Also, braking distances will increases and the car will not be as responsive and will perform badly when dynamic abilities are demonstated, like when changing directions into a corner or when switching quickly from left to right.
The center of gravity is another important feature. The lower it is, the more stable the car and the lower are the forces working over it. If you brake, you use the grip of your front tires to slow the car. At the same time, the force of inertia is trying to keep on pushing the car forward. This ressistance, between the tires friction pulling backwards at ground level and the inertia pushing forward against the center of gravity, creates a torque that rotates the car about the center of gravity, causing the "nose dive" under braking. This is a weight transfer. The lower the center of gravity, the smaller is the weight transfer and therefore it is also more immediate. The wheelbase and track width also work on a similar idea. Instead of lowering the car to contribute to it's stability, one can do the same by making the car's chassis longer or wider.
One issue is with cars that have such a wheelbase that leaves big parts of the car's body extending beyond the front or rear axle. The problem is aggrevated if there is much weight in that area, which might be caused by load which was in appropriately put in the trunk or an engine design (mostly Boxer) which puts the engine beyond the front axle.
If the grip of the tires and suspension is greater than the dynamic coefficient, than the car would roll over. If the opposite is true, the car would slide sideways instead. Modern passenger cars, including SUV's are made to slide instead of roll. In an SUV, where the center of gravity is placed higher, the solution is simply to reduce the grip offered by the tires and suspension.
When a car starts to slide, it can either slide it's front axle front and out of the corner (understeer) or slide the rear axle around and spin the car (oversteer) or briefly slide all four wheels aside (neutral-steer). Every car is said to have a natural "handling characteristic" which is determind when the car is held steady on constant throttle so it does not accelerate or decelerate, only turn. In this situation, any properly adjusted car will slide it's front tires first and understeer.
Understeer is safer because it is felt through the steering, scrubs off speed and corrects itself and is more natural to recover from, since your natural instincts of slowing down tend to resolve it. Also, in racing rear-wheel drive cars it allows you to keep some extra grip in the rear wheels through the corner and than accelerate out, which why professional race cars actually have quite a lot of understeer, not oversteer.
The chassis is the metal body connected to the suspension. The chassis is flexible and it flexes when you go over bumps. If it weren't for the additional dampening of the chassis, the rocking over bumpy roads, even with a proper suspension and tires, would be unbelievably strong. Also, when you accelerate, decelerate or turn, you apply forces unto the chassis which also bend it and this is undesired because the chassis is the platform of the suspension, so any flexing moves the suspension and tires from the intended alignment relative to the road surface.
A softer chassis: Better ride comfort, more predictible responses, less grip, less responsiveness and less feel. A stiffer chassis: Less ride comfort, less predictibility but more grip and a more immediate response as well as a "feel" for the car's limits.
In old cars, a "ladder" chassis was made of a series of inter-connecting steel bars in the shape of a "ladder" that runs across the vehicle and is connected to a seperate body that holds the passenger's compartment, engine compartment and trunk.
Modern cars have a uniform chassis that consists of all of the body of the car. This allows for more rigidity. Different makers put various innovations into their chassis, in an attempt to make them more rigid. Perhaps the most notable is Lotus with their unbelievably light and stiff chasis, costing in lack of space inside the small Elise and a very high door-seal which makes the access into and out of the car quite labored. In many of their modells, Porsche connected the engine to the chassis itself, increasing the ridigity in the relevant part of the chassis.
For performance driving purposes, drivers often choose to re-inforce the chassis by use of bars that usually run under the hood from one damper housing to another, a so-called strut brace (to be distinguished from a torsion bar or an anti-roll bar, both discussed later). A roll-cage which is a safety requirement in many such cars, also contributes to a more rigid chassis.
Suspension Type
The suspension has different prototypes that differ in the shape of the suspension arms and in the type of spring used.
The front suspension of most modern cars is a simple Mc'Pherson Strut. This is a simple an compact but effective design where the spring is put around the damper and both connect down to the wheel bearing and lower steering linkage. This allows the whole unit: Steering arm, spring, damper to operate as one. The disadvantage is that it simply isn't ideal: When a weight transfer occurs and the body of the car leans back, squats forward or "roll" sideways, the strut will move along with it and so move the tire from it's natural angle perpendicular to the ground.
Better cars with better suspensions have a dual-wishbone suspension, where the spring and damper assembly ins put in between two seperate arms, each looking like a wishbone, one above the other. This design allows the wheel to move relative to the car's body and remain flat against the ground. Even better cars, or race-cars, are equipped with a multi-link suspension that will involve three to six arms in an attempt to give the wheel all of the necessary freedom of motion or "program" a certain change of angles into it
The springs are the part the operates the suspension.
1. The Leaf-Spring: A primitive and simple design in the form of leaves of metal plates that hold the axles in place and offer dampening. They come in various forms, like dual leaves (in the form of an elipse) and others. They are cheap to make and can have varying levels of rigidity through their length. Their downside is that they allow the axle to move around in unwanted directions, allowing it to be pushed sideways out of the corner, or rotates into it. It also lowers the car beyond necessary near the wheels.
2. The Torsion Bar: Used in the rear suspension of many small modern cars due to it's small space occupation that allows to form a flat floor for the rear seats and trunk. This spring is simply a bar that runs across the width of the axle, and is twisted around (under torsion) when the wheels hit a bump or are acted by external forces. Nevertheless they are not as efficient as modern coil-springs.
3. The Coil Spring: The modern spring, made of a coil which compresses and decompresses under load. This is a comfortable design that allows to create a progressive spring with varying levels of stiffness across it's travel, as well as not being space consuming, especially in the popular Mc'pherson suspension type.
One thing to know about springs: Unlike with the chassis, a stiffer spring does not necessarily mean more grip. When the spring is harder it does not allow the car's body to "roll" as much, thus helping to keep the tires flat against the ground and maintaining the grip, bu this is also affected by the wheel arms and the wheel alignment.
If anything, a stiffer suspension makes the tires and car bounce over bumpy surfaces but furthermore - they "over-power" the tires: If the spring is stiffer, what force that isn't absorbed into it will simply work against the tires or chassis. Stiffer springs give better grip on smooth surfaces and where a rigid chassis and grippy tires are already i use, i.e. on track cars.
The main advantage of stiffer springs is in more feel and a more immediate response to driver's inputs. The car also break traction more sharply, but is easier to control even when sliding (which is part of why professional drifting cars are so stiff) and especially being more effective in the dynamic field, mainy while turning left to right or on a slalom course. A series of opposing steering inputs causes the BACK end of the car to slide out, where in a stiffer suspension in the rear this won't happen as quickly.
The dampers or "shocks" are closed pistons that are supposed to dampen the operation of the springs. If the spring were to be free of a damper (as it is in most leaf-spring suspensions) it would osciliate back and forth when a force is applied unto it or removed from it. Push down on it and it will compress. Release and it will decompress, but also bounce back and forth needlessly.
We therefore need a shock that will be stiff enough to support the springs in our car from osciliating needlessly, but not so stiff as to over-power the spring and prevent it from operating freely, allowing for about one "cycle" of osciliation. The dampers also allow the spring to operate differently for "fast" dampening, as in cruising over a bump at speed, or "slow" dampening as in turning into a turn and having the car "lean" to the outside of the bend, so we can have the best of both worlds, so to speak.
The rubber bushings that hold the parts into place also play a surpsingly big part in the operation of the suspension. It also bends about under the loads of bumps or turning/braking/accelerating. Many cars have their bushings to thank for a "passive rear steering" tendency which means that under strong cornering, these cars have their rear wheels "turned" into the corner so the car suddenly "kicks" the back end around, but does not actually cause an oversteer - it only kicks around momentarily and gets back into line.
This suspension component is simply a bar that runs across the width of the axle, locking the left and right suspension together, and thus helping to keep the axle more flat when the car rolls, without sacrificing the car's ride comfort. However, if the spring is too soft and the anti-roll bar is too hard, it could "over-power" the spring and cause the inside wheel to "swing" up briefly in corners. Many people misinterprate this as a car that was close to rolling over, where in fact it is part of the function of the suspension in the car in question.
As you can see, trying to keep the tires flat against the road is preety impossible. Everything moves around and changes the angle of the wheels. So, what do engineers do? Intentionally put the wheels off-set. If you turn left, the car leans right over the right, "outside" wheels. This causes these wheels and tires to lean also and contact the road with the right corner of the tread than with the whole tread.
So, the wheels are intentionally angled away from the sides of the corner down, so that this angle will cancel out the angle caused by the car's body roll and at the end - the tire will remain flat against the road. This angle is called a camber angle. It's disadvantage is that if you are driving straight or not cornering hard enough, you have your tires angled in the opposite direction and again - not having full grip.
Another important thing is that the angled tire rolls towards a certain direction which is not straight ahead, so when the wheels are cambered like this, they contribute to the car's stability and more so when braking or accelerating. Camber also contributes to more wear on the shoulder of the tire which is leaned unto the road.
Another angle is the Castor, which means that the wheels are "tilted" back and around from the straight up and-down direction of the strut. Look at the tilt on a shopping cart's wheels to get the idea. This angle gives a "heavier" steering feel, but will increase the "scrub" when you let off of the gas at speed.
The last angle is the Toe, which is simply a steering angle. Wheels are said to toe-in if they are angled towards the one another, or toe-out if angled away and to the sides. Toe-in gives more stability and creates a certain suspense across the axle which makes it more responsive, but also makes the car respond to steering inputs a bit later to a car with toe-out. Toe-out can make a car helplessly unstable in a straight line, but very responsive to turning.
The dimater, weight and offset of the wheels or rims is important. Allow-rims are desirable for their lower weight. This reduction of weight is particularly substantail because the wheels, unlike the chassis, are not supported by the suspension. Each bump on the road bounces the wheel and all of it's weight up and against the suspension, so if you reduce this "unsprung" weight you make it easier for your suspension to operate.
This is the exact opposite of what people achieve by fitting rims with a wider diameter. All they achieve is a screwed-up speedometer with more unsprung mass, with the single advantage of having more room for bigger brakes. Wider rims, however, to support wider tires, are effective. A bigger offset is also effective because it creates a bigger wheel base. However, this requires use of spacers which can hurt parameters like the wheel aligmnet, steering angles and even braking performance.
The tires grip the road surface through the tread, but their sidewalls and air within them work as part of the suspension. Modern Radial tires have a flat, thick tread layer with two thin sidewalls. The air between these sidewalls keeps them stable as they come across bumps and flex up and down to dampen them. Lower-profiled tires will not do the best job in dampening, causing less ride comfort and even less grip on bumpy surfaces, but will create a more immediate response and more grip on reasonable surfaces. The same applies for tires which are "over" inflated, with the single exception that more air reduces steering feel, unlike a lower or stiffer tire sidewall or suspension component.
When turning, the tire's sidewals are also pushed out by the side force. This causes the car to go around a wider radius than desired and flexes the tire in a way that causes folds in the surface, preventing some of the rubber from touching the ground. In the extreme situation of old tires with very low air pressure, the sidewall could flex so much as to get the tires off of the rims, causing the latter to bite into the road and roll the car over.
The tire's tread is also important. It's important to know that if the tread is more or less grippy or worn, it will not change the car's natural handling characteristics. If the car is said to slide it's front tires first, it will do so even if the rear tires are worn. However, whatever action will be needed to slide the rear - it would make them slide ever more early and ever more aggressively.
Professional racing tires have no tread "pattern" therefore allowing for more rubber to touch the road (in dry conditions). The tires also have extremlly stiff sidewalls, soft rubber compounds that grip very well and reduce weight, but wear down faster and heat up faster. The lack of tread patterns makes these tires have a very specific range of effective temperature.
Road tires have a tread pattern for when the road is wet or even heavily coated in dust. The tread also changes the tire's response because the tread elements also deform under the load, and they also effect the tire's temperature: The tread elements - ribs, cubes and what not - flexes around and generates heat, but simultanously the pattern channels air that cools the tire down.
"Ribs" in the tire are used to reduce rolling ressistance and noise, while giving a sense of "directional stability" to the tire. Lugs offer higher rolling ressistance with categorily higher grip, especialy in the wet and ever more so on dirt where the tread pattern hooks into the dirt. Off-road tires also have the sides of their lugs at the corners of the tread going in an angle and not down along the sidewall, giving mud or dirt the open space to move out. They also have re-inforced lugs with little "ridges" inside the voids for added rigidity.
Snow tires also have sipes. These are little spews that soak in additional bits of water in road tires of bite more into the snow in snow tires, and than spew the water out as the tire continues to revolve. This increases grip in the relevant conditions.
Assymetric tires have a tread pattern that offers soft rubber and little voids in the outer shoulder, ribs in the middle and a lot of angled voids in the inner shoulder. The outer shoulder gives us the cornering force, the center gives us longitudinal traction and the inner side gives us our steering feel. These tires give good braking/acceleration performance in the wet, with good dry cornering abilities for the dry. Directional tires have crescent-shaped grooves that allow a very effective operation when driving at speeds over water.
Three note about tire wear:
1. Cupping: Suspension problems show on tires in the form of irregular wear that appears as "cupping" and in the tread lugs recieving a shape of a raised "leading edge" and low, rounded and worn "trailing edge" of each lug.
2. Cold Tear: If tires are over-inflated, under-loaded or labored when still cold, they will exhibit wear that will appear as deep cracks that run around the tire (mostly in the center) and angled towards the direction in which the tire rolls.
3. Hot Tear: If the tires are under-inflated, over-loaded or pushed too hard when hot - they will wear, mostly at the two shoulders, in the shape a layer of cracky, abrased rubber with another layer of rubber molten off of it and reformed over the very edge of the tire.
The steering system
Directly in contact with the suspension system is the steering mechanism. It begins with steering rim, a thirty-odd centimeter-wide rim made of some kind of plastic. Rotating this wheel rotates a steering rod which connects to a steering box or rack. This box or rack turn the rotation of the rod into a lateral motion that pushes an rod from side to side. This rod is connected to a steering tie-rod which tilts the front wheels into the direction of the corner.
The rack and pinion system is prefered in road cars for it's simplicity. In bigger cars, it becomes hard to fit suitable rack, and a steering box is used. The rack and pinion mechanism is made of a pinion or gear at the end of the steering column, which rotates about a geared rack, pushing it left or right. The width the rack or the intrevals of the gearing change the steering ratio (i.e. the amount of steering to turn for a given turning radius) but also changes the weight of the mechanism. A shorter rack allows to turn the wheel less, but makes it harder. Also, a shorter rack makes it harder to cruise down the road, as each little numb at the wheel will divert the car from the desired course.
To ease the problem of the steering mechanism's weight, a power assistance is introduced by putting the rack in a closed cylinder with a lubricant circulating through it. A pump pushes the fluid across to aid the efforts of the driver in turning the wheel. The pump's operation changes with the viscosity of the fluid and the RPM or speed of the motor, creating a variable weight that also depends on other variables.
In this way, a steering wheel can be considered as "informative" since the changes in it's ressistance to turning "tell" the driver what is going on at the front tires. Race cars usually have extremlly heavy and informative steering systems, also due to stiff, short suspensions and low-cut tires with aggressive castor and camber angles.
Note: Car manufacturers do not specify a time limit for replacing power steering fluid, but it's preferable to check fluid levels (by eye) each week, and replace it after around 70,000 miles or four years, but no later than 100,000 miles or five years. By than it will be oxydiated and filled with metallic chips and rubber debries, as well as degrade from daily and annual temperature changes and exposure to heat in the engine bay.
Replacing the fluid will contribute to more reliability and more informative steering, which I tend to connect to safety. Restortive oil additives can be added to the steering fluid quite succesfully. The fluid will be less viscous.
Power steering systems are sensitive to hard steering. If you crank the wheel up to the "lock" at the far end of the rack and keep it there for a few tens of seconds, it will make all of the fluid build up on one side of the rack and apply too much pressure against the seals. Don't keep the wheel crancked up to the lock, ease it a little.
Steering angles and Ackerman Steering
Steering does not end with turning the front wheels. This action also changes the other steering angles, usually adding to the front wheels camber angle in the intention of keeping the tires flat against the road surface in all different kinds of corners. Most front suspensions add more camber depending on the castor angle, which also changes the weight of the steering mechanism and magnifies the "realigning torque" that pulls the wheel back to straight. Flick the car into the reverse and the castor angles effectively flip over so this tendency will be gone.
Another issue is that the inside tire takes a shorter route compared to the outer tire. This led to the invention of the Ackerman steering configuration, which is based on a more complex steering-related theory that ends with the notion that the inside wheel should be turned further into the corner. This contributes to the "natural" understeer tendencies of road cars. In race-cars, the tire operate at the optimal slip angles all of the time, just on the threshold of sliding away and therefore turning the inside wheel more sharply will cause unwanted sliding and excessive understeer in fast sweepers, so the angle is either removed or even reversed.
Many cars also include a passive rear steering tedency where the rubber bushing of the rear-outside trailing arm suspension arm twists in a way that turns the outside-rear tire into the corner (toe-in). This allows the rear wheels to contribute to the active steering effort and helps rotate the car around the corner.
In some cars, this is used to help get over the chassis' understeer tendencies. The car begins to develop an understeer where pushing harder at the wheel will initiate the rear steering and rotate the car about the corner and remove the understeer. In other cars, this helps to counter-act an initial tendency to oversteer. The rear steering angle pulls the wheel in as it begins to slide out, and overall it feels like the rear briefly "kicks around" and than returns into place.
Torque-steer and bump-steer
Torque steer is a known illness for front-wheel driven cars. You turn, apply a good deal of power and feel the wheel kicking back against your arms. The reason is simple, the drive force that pulls forward and the lateral force that pushes you around the corner are in conflict, but there is more to it.
When you apply the drive force, it applies this "kick" unto the steering mechanism and the steering tie-rods operate as a leverage. Front-wheel driven cars usually use the cheap and compact Mc'Pherson strut suspenion, which is connected directly to the steering mechanism. This create a certain "kingpin inclination" between the two ties (upper and lower) and the center of the tire's tread, which creates a bigger leverage and more torque steer, and further more of it for bigger tires or bigger tire off-set (by use of spacers).
Steering accuracy is another thing that relates to this, and it has to do with the alignment and the tires' sidewalls. Tires with a bigger aspect ratio and a taller and softer sidewall wil deform laterally in corners and make the turning radius wider as speed increases. This makes it harder to predict just how much steering is going to be required for the corner. Performance-intended cars have very accurate steering systems which require a very static amount of steering for a corner, no matter how quickly you go through it.

Challenge of climate change
CND January 14, 2013
"Climate change is the biggest human rights challenge of our time" says former Irish president and UN Human Rights High Commissioner Mary Robinson following the conclusion of the recent UN Climate Summit in Doha.
"It's undermining livelihoods‐rights to food and safe water and health and education. It's having people displaced by climate, and that can bring conflict. We're told that we are likely to have as many as 2200 million climate displaced people by 2050. That's not very far away. Where will they go? What kind of conflict will that bring about?" she said.

Optimum Yield in Soybeans: Making the Right Choices
Optimum Yield in Soybeans: Making the Right Choices By Pascal Larose on March 17, 2021
Categories: Soybean
The two management points most likely to increase your soybean yield when soil conditions are adequate, with optimum pH and compaction well managed, are:
1. Planting date
2. Variety choice
Sowing soybeans before May 15 will get the maximum yield from your soybeans. The yield decreases by 4% during the second half of May, while sowing in June generates only 84% of the maximum yield of the season, according to our cumulative data since 2010 at Sollio Agriculture's research farm in crop production.
The choice of variety is essential for achieving high yields. However, the selection of the best performer from 2020 does not guarantee the achievement of this objective in 2021. In Quebec, new star varieties in 2020 benefited from perfect conditions to outclass varieties with a history of yield stability during the previous years.
Looking Back on the 2020 Season
By analyzing the precipitation data from our weather station at the St-Hyacinthe research farm, the 2020 season is average in terms of seasonal precipitation. However, looking more closely at the data on graph #1, the 2020 season in Montérégie (yellow line) is the one with the driest months of May and June in recent history and with the most precipitation during the month of August. This is a yield-enhancing cocktail in soybeans due to the resulting absence of white mold, which usually steals the yield potential of varieties susceptible to this disease.
Graph #1: Precipitation from 2017 to 2020, St-Hyacinthe weather station
The #1 enemy of soybeans in Quebec and Eastern Ontario is white mold (sclerotinia). This is the region in North America where the pressure of sclerotinia is greatest. This is explained by our climate conditions that favor the growth of the fungus. The sclerotinia fungus thrives in June when soil conditions are wet and the temperature is cool below 26°C. When its conditions are present during the two weeks before the soybean blooms, the fungus germinates, grows, and prepares to release the spores that will infect sensitive soybean plants that will flower a few days after the summer solstice. The infection period occurs during the first 15 to 20 days of July.
Photo of susceptible soybeans infected with white mold (sclerotionia)
Historically in Quebec and Eastern Ontario, under our normal seasonal conditions, soybeans with the best tolerance to sclerotinia obtain the best yields.
So, if your selection of soybean variety for 2021 reflects the "Top Gun" for the 2020 season, it will be wise to introduce the option of a fungicide into your management in order to keep the dream of a high yield with a soybean that lacks a proven history under the conditions we usually see in Quebec and Eastern Ontario.
Applying a fungicide at stage R2.5, just before a pod appears in one of the top four nodes of the plant, may help reduce the impact of sclerotinia. This option, at a cost of around $80 / ha, represents 4.5% of your potential yield gain. A new high-yield player must be at least 4.5% higher in yield before being profitable and justifying its position in your fields.
Example of R2.5, the recommended stage for the application of a fungicide
The price of soybeans has risen sharply at the start of 2021, so the selection of a soybean variety that has proven to be tolerant to sclerotinia is a wise choice in risk management in 2021.
Katonda R2 and Hydra R2 soybeans have been industry leaders for several years in Quebec and Eastern Ontario. The stability of their performance over the years makes them first-choice cultivars to ensure profitability in soybean cultivation in this region. Katonda R2 and Hydra R2 have an extremely well-balanced agronomic profile with the highest tolerance to white mold on the market today.
Katonda R2 soybean field
In conclusion, the expectation of high return begins with balanced risk management. Planting date combined with a soybean variety that has demonstrated performance in the past is a guarantee of success. Introducing new cultivars is a great way to push the yield limit to new heights if they are introduced to only about 20% of the seeded area.
Luckily, there is still time to update your risk management for this spring!

Why Are Amitabh & Khans Silent? Pammi Kaur's Letter to Tanushree
Here's a letter to Tanushree Dutta on her #MeToo fight and on the silence of some of Bollywood's biggest names.
Stutee Ghosh
Published: 29 Sep 2018, 10:17 PM IST
Producer: Vatsala Singh
Video Editor: Deepthi Ramdas
Camera: Abhishek Ranjan
Tanushree Dutta has accused Nana Patekar of sexual harassment on the sets of 2009 movie Horn Ok Pleassss. In a Zoom TV interview, she said that she was shooting what was supposed to be her solo song (later performed by Rakhi Sawant) when Nana Patekar was on set. Tanushree alleged that he pulled her by her arms, tried to teach her the dance steps, and even got an "intimate" step added to the choreography just so that he could touch her.
She also alleged that people in Bollywood knew about Nana Patekar's harassment of women actors but stayed mum about it, and big stars like Akshay Kumar and Rajinikanth worked with him despite his acts of indecency against women in the film fraternity. Tanushree said that though she spoke about it then as well, no one had come forward in her support
Explaining why she is speaking about the incident once again, she said, "my fight is not against Nana Patekar or Ganesh Acharya. I just want to make sure that they suffer the consequences of their behaviour."
Tanushree Dutta Hits Back at "Bluffmaster Gogo" Nana Patekar
Besides Nana Patekar, she has also accused Vivek Agnihotri of sexual misconduct. She spoke about an incident, in an interview with DNA, where Vivek Agnihotri had allegedly passed a lewd comment on set, but actor Irrfan Khan had shut him down.
For over 24 hours, Bollywood greeted Tanushree's story with silence. After that, Farhan Akhtar tweeted in support of her. He was followed by Priyanka Chopra, Swara Bhaskar, Sonam Kapoor and Twinkle Khanna.
But there were also Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan who were found avoiding the question. RJ Stutee's alter ego Pammi Kaur has been following the story since it first broke out. She is among the strong supporters of the #MeToo movement, and has decided to pen down a letter to Tanushree Dutta on Bollywood's silence on the issue.

Look up shelter in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
For other uses, see Shelter (disambiguation).
Fishermen's shelter houses on Barreta Island, Portugal.
A shelter is a basic architectural structure or building that provides protection from the local environment.
Having a place of shelter, of safety and of retreat, i.e. a home, is commonly considered a fundamental physiological human need, the foundation from which to develop higher human motivations.


Obviously, the resolution and precision component placement machine for small pitch components (fine-pitch-parts) of the application is very important parameter, the accuracy is generally for the fine resolution of the visual system and equipment in the X -, Y-, and Z-direction stability function, in short, to place the action in the component, put pieces of the tip in 3-D before moving to the set position, the system must first "see" and confirm the components they want to place the correct location.
All test components must be placed in the machine resolution of 0.00004 "to 0.00008" in this context, and the accuracy is about 0.0004 "to 0.002", the result shows that the use of small space, the data is the smaller the better. The other parameters (such as full motion under the nozzle assembly accuracy between the pad and the solder balls on the bit error standard) will affect the equipment level. In this view, the current crop of high-speed machine can load the component spacing of 0.0034 "to 0.012", we can have the following formula by the assembly can allow the inference of minimum component spacing: Accuracy * (100 / pad and solder ball on the bit error percentage) * 2 = the suitable spacing ex: 0.001 "* 100/25 * 2 = 0.008"
It seems from the above example, if an accuracy of 0.001 "component placement machine, in 25% of bit error, the suitable for use in the spacing of 0.008" of the component, if suppliers are allowed to use the error degree of 33%, then the machine used by the component spacing on 0.006 "of.
Component placement machine accuracy and continuity can be branded in the glass by the method of plating (chrome-on-glass) to verify, its approach is engraved in the glass to make a branded line, and then placed in this glass component placement machine, the use of substrate (substrate) and component placement reference point (fiducial) to guide the machine alignment, the completion of the entire assembly process, then the view through the optical microscope and optical measurement scale for multiple locations, and then full-speed movement and to determine its accuracy.
Branded in the glass-plated (chrome-on-glass) test method is a manual process, however if the machine has a certain degree of accuracy on this subject, or a very effective method of authentication. One thing is very important, is when the machine just machines, is conducting this type of artificial bits accuracy to confirm the action is bound to be very exact, so as not to affect the operation of the order of accuracy. But not all such devices will be similar at the beginning of the action, and not every one of the devices are coated with a baked glass scale to help with the correction accuracy.
In addition, the thermal stability of the component placement machine power will also affect its accuracy, this flip-chip component placement machine Jabil is the use of granite in the base station and the ceramic support beam to minimize such impact, in that case If the equipment to handle the often time-spacing of 0.004 courage "of the component, whether self-correction is quite important for heat, although some manufacturers do not emphasize their equipment such correction, but in the relevant text of the play in from time to time stressed the importance of thermal correction.
Commonly referred to as a large set piece rates do not include board delivery and visual alignment steps and therefore the speed of various manufacturers have announced very soon, but if the above two actions are included with the calculation, the speed will be rapid reduced. For example: If the project does not contain the two, the general rate in 2000pph around, but if coupled with the rate on these two projects is a sharp decline in the 800pph.
Looking at the components nowadays learned in the implementation of the component placement machine, dip flux, visual alignment and set pieces took about 2.5 to 8 seconds or so, if able to dip flux, solder paste or conductive adhesive separation and other related processes , so that the component placement machine is not set in operation, you can shorten the effective time of set pieces. In addition, if the move to shorten the distance between the nozzle can achieve the same effect.

Q: Ubuntu kernel upgrade fails : 20.04LTS I have upgraded my OS from 18.04.04 to Ubuntu-20.04 LTS. I used update-manager –d to upgrade.
When I try to run my docker-compose, it gives an error :

runtime: mlock of signal stack failed: 12
runtime: increase the mlock
limit (ulimit -l) or runtime: update your kernel to 5.3.15+, 5.4.2+,
or 5.5+ fatal error: mlock failed

I tried to upgrade my kernel verion to 5.4.25
I have downloaded following .deb files from official repository
linux-headers-5.4.25-050425_5.4.25-050425.202003121333_all.deb
linux-headers-5.4.25-050425-generic_5.4.25-050425.202003121333_amd64.deb
linux-image-unsigned-5.4.25-050425-generic_5.4.25-050425.202003121333_amd64.deb
linux-modules-5.4.25-050425-generic_5.4.25-050425.202003121333_amd64.deb

Then
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

sudo update-grub
sudo update-grub2

sudo reboot

When I select 5.4.25 from boot menu :
Loading Linux 5.4.25-xxxxx-generic
error: /vmlinuz-5.2.25-xxxxx-generic has invalid signature
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error : you need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...

How can I upgrade my kernel to 5.4.25
Current : 5.4.0-26-generic

A: First of all it was a poor idea to install a mainline 5.4 kernel.
Ubuntu 20.04 has the 5.4 kernel by design. You don't get any advantage by installing a 5.4 kernel from mainline. It is the same kernel as used in Ubuntu but without Ubuntu-specific patches.
But if you really want to use mainline kernels, you'll have to disable Secure Boot in BIOS. Mainline kernels are not signed.


We have big news today and this may be the best thing we've heard all week.
Amazon just announced they will be testing one-hour alcohol delivery. Yes, you heard that correctly. Unfortunately, it's likely a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it's genius for those of us who are a tad bit lazy, but it may be bad for our wallets and ultimate weight gain.
The delivery is part of a new Amazon initiative called Prime Now. Through this service, Amazon Prime members get incredibly fast delivery of select products in less than one hour. The initial list of products includes beer / wine, paper towels, and even frozen and refrigerated items like milk and ice cream.
Unfortunately, the service is only available in a few select cities including Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, and Kirkland. Amazon plans to rollout the service to other markets quickly.


Braving the wind, the rain, and temperatures of below 5°, a band of dedicated beach clean heroes turned out on a cold February afternoon last Tuesday and felt the love for Brighton beach.
While the adverse weather conditions certainly challenged the endurance of our beach cleaners, it didn't put a dampener on anyone's spirits - or their artistic skills! Fuelled by tea and vegan biscuits, our Pier 2 Pier volunteers gathered in the Pop-Up Brighton gallery next to Brighton beach and took part in some Valentine's Day-themed litter artwork.
Using the 10+ bags of beach litter collected on the day, local marine litter artist Irene Soler and her assorted helpers created a giant litter heart, showcasing the most common items washed up (or dropped) on the beach. The installation included bottle caps, beer cans, plastic cutlery, coffee cups, sweet wrappers, wine corks, ropes, straws, lighters - the list goes on!
Later on, local natural music artists 'Unite The Beat' turned up to lead the volunteers in a 'trash jam', using pieces of rubbish from the beach to create a funky tune. Founded by Malik Tokwe and Emily Robertson, this musical duo focus on using the medium of sound to promote fun, mindfulness and a sense of community. They encourage people to get creative as they forage for unique ways of making noise.
Our event aimed to showcase the scale of the marine litter problem, not just on Brighton beach but across the UK and indeed, across the globe. In December, nearly 200 countries around the world pledged to tackle what experts are calling a 'global crisis' of plastic in the oceans. Eight million tonnes of plastic are being dumped into the seas every year, causing catastrophic harm to marine life - as we saw in last year's Blue Planet II.
Combatting plastic pollution starts right at home - so we sought to show our beach some love this Valentine's Day through the medium of art and music. '#LoveYourBeach' Day was launched by intrepid beach cleaners in Cornwall, and here at Pier 2 Pier we're proud to have brought it to Brighton too.
You can see the day's litter-based artistic and musical creations in this short film, produced by our friends over at The Joyful Web.
Our next event is our Super Hero Silent Disco Beach Clean on Saturday 3rd March, as part of the annual Great British Spring Clean. We hope to see many of you there - and hopefully some sunshine too!

Q: W3Schools jQuery Quiz There is a jQuery quiz posted on the W3Schools site here...
http://www.w3schools.com/quiztest/quiztest.asp?qtest=jQuery
Question #19 is as follows,

Look at the following jQuery selector: $("div#intro .head").
What does it select?
A. The first element with id="head" inside any div element with class="intro"
B. All elements with class="head" inside the first div element with id="intro"
C. All div elements with id="intro" or class="head"

I got it correct by picking answer B.
My question has to do with the wording of answer B.
Shouldn't the word, "first", be removed from the answer?

B. All elements with class="head" inside the div element with id="intro"

ID is defined as "a unique identifier to an element", so not really understanding why they would refer to the "the first div element with id=intro"
I don't believe that it's intentionally trying to be tricky as all the other questions in this quiz are very straightforward.
Thank-you for your thoughts.

EDIT:
I reported this error to W3Schools and directed them to this thread.

EDIT #2:
This is another question from the same quiz.
Another questionable jQuery Quiz answer at W3Schools

A: You are correct, the first language could (should) be removed from all choices.
According to the HTML 4.01 Spec:

This attribute assigns a name to an
  element. This name must be unique in a
  document.

Additionally, according to the jQuery documentation for the id selector:

Selects a single element with the
  given id attribute

Under the hood, the selector uses document.getElementById("..."). Interestingly, the specification for this function states:

Behavior is not defined if more than
  one element has this ID.

So, assuming you do have two elements with the same id, results of the function are unpredictable and browser-specific.
Sidenote: W3Schools is not regarded as one of the best places to learn JavaScript / jQuery. A well-respected alternative for JavaScript is MDC's JavaScript Guide. For jQuery, check out the tutorials page.

A: Indeed the behavior of document.getElementById("...") is undefined if more than one element has this ID.
However, as the w3schools site consistently tries to point out, the behavior of jQuery in this situation is well-defined.  If more than one element has this ID, then the first one will be selected.
No one is condoning more than one element's having a particular ID; this is still against the rules.  However, unlike getElementById, jQuery has a specific reaction if this rule is broken.

Social Networking Firm Leverages Splunk Analytics Solution to Drive Revenue
Technology (Social networking / Mobile developers)
Splunk at Socialize
Founded in 2008, Socialize (a ShareThis company) was created to provide developers with a platform to build applications for mobile devices. The company also offers tools that let developers add social networking capabilities to their mobile apps, allowing consumers to interact and share content. Socialize confronted a host of challenges because its businesses are data intensive and rapidly growing, supporting daily API requests that number in the millions. Since deploying Splunk software, the company has seen benefits including:
Real-time operational visibility and analytics
Automation of tedious manual processes
Improved operational efficiency
Splunk SDK for Python
Google Maps for Splunk
Needed to support data intensive, rapidly growing businesses
Analyzing massive amounts of data with a MySQL database was time consuming and error prone
Needed solution to troubleshoot infrastructure
Required sophisticated reporting capabilities
Revenue producing business intelligence
Greater value for developers and publishers
Data driven, real-time decision making
Efficient and reliable delivery of services
Reduced staffing needs
Mobile social networking applications, databases, servers and mobile SDKs
Mobile application advertising campaigns
Daily API requests numbering in the millions
Why Splunk
Socialize ingests and processes over 20 million data points daily, each data point being a user interaction with a "Socialized" app such as a click or a comment. The company needed to extract intelligence from this data, troubleshoot its infrastructure and keep developers informed of the usage of their applications, presenting analytics for each app in real time.
Socialize also connects with advertisers via automated real-time bidding (RTB) exchanges, allowing marketers to target consumers most interested in their products or services with advertising on mobile apps. These RTB exchanges demand a response time of only 100 milliseconds. To make effective bidding decisions, Socialize therefore needs to analyze hundreds of gigabytes of data, with literally millions of API requests sent per day. Analyzing this volume of data with a MySQL database was time consuming and error prone. Moreover, Socialize required sophisticated reporting capabilities in order to provide advertisers with metrics on their campaigns, such as the number of impressions and their cost per thousand.
Socialize installed Splunk software as its business analytics solution, feeding a large volume of logs into the platform for indexing, building charts and graphics. According to the CTO of Socialize, "Splunk collects and analyzes machine-generated data from IT infrastructures, but it also offers invaluable insight into user-generated data. What makes Splunk special is the ease and precision with which we can extract business intelligence from hundreds of gigabytes of data, then graphically display any metrics we want in dashboards."

Chief Technology Officer, Socialize
Powerful analytics to leverage data
Splunk has empowered Socialize with the intelligence to meet the needs of advertisers, application developers and publishers, and to grow its business. The Splunk platform indexes 200 to 300 gigabytes of data every day and this is doubling every month. According to the CTO, "Splunk gives Socialize powerful analytics with which to leverage our data for business development, all without resorting to complex MapReduce routines. Analyses that once required weeks of laborious coding are now done in hours."
"Splunk gives Socialize powerful analytics with which to leverage our data for business development, all without resorting to complex MapReduce routines. Analyses that once required weeks of coding are now done in hours."
Real-time visibility and analytics
Building on the Splunk REST API to integrate at the application level for business intelligence, reporting and alerting, Socialize exposes Splunk data to its customers through highly customized dashboards reporting campaign metrics. Socialize plans to extend this intelligence gathering to all of its advertisers to deliver real-time visibility into every ad campaign.
Splunk is also an essential part of Socialize's real-time bidding operations. Splunk Enterprise forwards pre-computed aggregated data to a MySQL database every minute. The data is then put into an in-memory Memcached cluster that enables Socialize to respond to bidding requests within the 100 milliseconds time constraint of the RTB exchanges. Socialize utilizes Splunk Enterprise's analytics to determine the efficacy of campaigns and to make more informed bidding decisions. For example, it uses Google Maps for Splunk to identify the regions where users are most responsive. It then can target these regions for particular campaigns, yielding greater value and returns.
A valuable diagnostic tool
Thanks to the Splunk solution, Socialize enables publishers to capture and display all key metrics for their mobile apps in dashboards. The software also provides developers with event logs and machine-generated data for debugging their applications. Relying on the Splunk SDK for Python, the platform alerts developers of any issues in their applications' performance.
Similarly, Socialize's operational staff depends on Splunk software's reporting and notifications to ensure the firm's distributed IT infrastructure operates within prescribed thresholds. Additionally, the staff uses Splunk Enterprise as a diagnostic tool to check that a new hardware or software system is working properly before putting it into production. Because the Splunk platform automates the delivery of data to developers, Socialize's staff no longer has to manually support them, eliminating hours of tedious work routines to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency. The company's CTO concludes, "The Splunk platform gives us the visibility, analytics and insights into our business that drive our success."

The first step is to go to the Realtek website, make sure it is the official one, and accept the terms and conditions. This can be done by clicking on the "I Accept" button and then clicking on the "Next" button. After this is done, the website will bring you to a page where you can download the program. You will need to click on the "Global" link to be able to see all of the possible drivers which are available. They will be listed by a comparable operating system. Find which one is most suited to your specific operating system and click on the link.
After clicking on the link, a window will pop up asking you to verify that you want to download this specific driver. Of course, you will want to click on the "Yes" button. After clicking on the "Yes" button, the download will proceed to start. There will be a series of prompts which will largely depend on your security settings and the type of operating system you have which will all need to be followed. From here, you will need to answer "Yes" or "No" depending on your wishes as to what you want to be done with the software, such as where you want it placed on your computer and other such things. You will now be able to enjoy using the Realtek Audio Software.
There are also options to have the program automatically downloaded and installed if you are extremely busy or just do not have much savviness when it comes to operating computers. This can be done by any number of third-party software installers. Please do your research before doing this however as some of these programs may come with malware that can wreak havoc on your computer. It is always best to download directly from the Realtek website whenever possible.
As you can see, it is really not that difficult to re-install the Realtek program or its drivers after some sort of file corruption, or even for any other reason for that matter. By following these simple instructions, you can easily have the program back up and running in no time at all with just a few simple clicks. By the way, these steps are pretty standard for any type of software installation or reinstallation, so you can even use these for other programs which may be giving you trouble. In this way, you will never be left without the proper software to get done what needs to be done.

Q: Angular highchart with dynamic data from API This Angular code gets data from API and creates a Spline chart with that API data in angular highcharts.
This is the app.component.ts file
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import * as Highcharts from "highcharts";
import { DashService } from './shared/dash.service';
import { Chart } from './shared/chart.model';

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"]
})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
    ChartModel: Chart[];
    url: string = 'https://localhost:44311/api/charts/';
    data: any;

   constructor(public service: DashService) { }

   Highcharts = Highcharts;

    spline = {
    chart: {
   type: 'spline',
    },
    title: {
    text: 'Active Users'
    },
    credits: {
    enabled: false
    },
    yAxis: {
      title: {
         text: 'Users'
         }
    },
    series: []
    }
    ngOnInit() {

    this.getApiResponse(this.url).then(
    data => {
    const values = [];
    data.forEach(row => {
    const temp_row = [row.data,];
    values.push(temp_row);
    });
    var dataSeries = [];

    dataSeries.push({
    name:'Users Present',
    data: values,
    });

    this.spline.series = dataSeries;
    },
    error => {
    console.log('Something went wrong.');
    })
    }
    getApiResponse(url) {
    return this.service.Get(this.url)
    .toPromise().then(res => {
    return res;
    });
    }
    }

This is dash.service.ts file
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Chart } from './chart.model';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class DashService {

  readonly chartURL = "https://localhost:44311/api/charts/"
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

  Get(chartURL):Observable<Chart[]>{
  return this.http.get<Chart[]>(chartURL);
 }
}

This is chart.model.ts file
export class Chart {
    data:number;
}

And This is app.component.html
<div class="chart-box" class="col-lg-5 md-5 ml-5" >
        <highcharts-chart [Highcharts]="Highcharts" [options]="spline"></highcharts-chart>
</div>

I updated my app.component.ts file and also added dash.service.ts, and model.ts file.
Now I am able to get the data for my chart from an API, the only thing I want to do is update the chart after every 5 seconds and keep adding points to it from API.
This website shows the highcharts, with dynamic data. The line chart on the right side updates in every 5 seconds,by adding points to it,and I want this too to be done in my chart.The mentioned website is not mine, it's just for the reference. This is another reference which adds point every second, I want the same too with my chart
Please help me to make my chart dynamic like this
Below is the image of my chart

Of Second-Hand Store Shops.
PERHAPS it may add to the completeness of the information here given concerning the trading in old refuse articles, and especially those of a miscellaneous character, the manner in which, and the parties by whom the business is carried on, if I conclude this branch of the subject by an account of the shops of the -hand dealers. The distance between the class of these shopkeepers and of the stall and barrow-keepers I have described is not great. It may be said to be merely from the street to within doors. Marine-store dealers have often in their start in life been street-sellers, not unfrequently costermongers, and street-sellers they again become if their ventures be unsuccessful. Some of them, however, make a good deal of money in what may be best understood as a "hugger-mugger way."
On this subject I cannot do better than quote Mr. Dickens, of the most minute and truthful of observers:—
The reader must often have perceived in some by-street, in a poor neighbourhood, a small dirty shop, exposing for sale the most extraordinary and confused jumble of old, worn-out, wretched articles, that can well be imagined. Our wonder at their ever having been bought, is only to be equalled by our astonishment at the idea of their ever being sold again. On a board, at the side of the door, are placed about twenty books—all odd volumes; and as many wine-glasses—all different patterns; several locks, an old earthenware pan, full of rusty keys; two or three gaudy chimney ornaments—cracked, of course; the remains of a lustre, without any drops; a round frame like a capital O, which has once held a mirror; a flute, complete with the exception of the middle joint; a pair of curling-irons; and a tinder-box. In front of the shop-window, are ranged some halfdozen high-backed chairs, with spinal complaints and wasted legs; a corner cupboard; two or three very dark mahogany tables with flaps like mathematical problems; some pickle-bottles, some surgeons' ditto, with gilt labels and without stoppers; an unframed portrait of some lady who flourished about the beginning of the thirteenth century, by an artist who never flourished at all; an incalculable host of miscellanies of every description, including armour and cabinets, rags and bones, fenders and street-door knockers, fire-irons, wearing-apparel and bedding, a hall-lamp, and a room-door. Imagine, in addition to this incongruous mass, a black doll in a white frock, with two faces—one looking up the street, and the other looking down, swinging over the door; a board with the squeezed--up inscription 'Dealer in marine stores,' in lanky white letters, whose height is strangely out of proportion to their width; and you have before you precisely the kind of shop to which we wish to direct your attention.
Although the same heterogeneous mixture of things will be found at all these places, it is curious to observe how truly and accurately some of the minor articles which are exposed for sale— articles of wearing-apparel, for instance—mark the character of the neighbourhood. Take Drurylane and Covent-garden for example.
This is essentially a theatrical neighbourhood. There is not a potboy in the vicinity who is not, to a greater or less extent, a dramatic character. The errand-boys and chandlers'--shop-keepers' sons, are all stage-struck: they 'get up' plays in back kitchens hired for the purpose, and will stand before a shop-window for hours, contemplating a great staring portrait of Mr. somebody or other, of the Royal Coburg Theatre, 'as he appeared in the character of Tongo the Denounced.' The consequence is, that there is not a marine-store shop in the neighbourhood, which does not exhibit for sale some faded articles of dramatic finery, such as three or four pairs of soiled buff boots with turn-over red tops, heretofore worn by a 'fourth robber,' or 'fifth mob;' a pair of rusty broad-swords, a few gauntlets, and certain resplendent ornaments, which, if they were yellow instead of white, might be taken for insurance plates of the Sun Fire-office. There are several of these shops in the narrow streets and dirty courts, of which there are so many near the national theatres, and they all have tempting goods of this description, with the addition, perhaps, of a lady's pink dress covered with spangles; white wreaths, stage shoes, and a tiara like a tin lamp reflector. They have been purchased of some wretched supernumeraries, or sixth-rate actors, and are now offered for the benefit of the rising generation, who, on condition of making certain weekly payments, amounting in the whole to about ten times their value, may avail themselves of such desirable bargains.
Let us take a very different quarter, and apply it to the same test. Look at a marine-store dealer's, in that reservoir of dirt, drunkenness, and drabs: thieves, oysters, baked potatoes, and pickled salmon — Ratcliff-highway. Here, the wearing-apparel is all nautical. Rough blue jackets, with mother-of-pearl buttons, oil-skin hats, coarse checked shirts, and large canvass trousers that look as if they were made for a pair of bodies instead of a pair of legs, are the staple commodities. Then, there are large bunches of cotton pocket-handkerchiefs, in colour and pattern unlike any one ever saw before, with the exception of those on the backs of the three young ladies without bonnets who passed just now. The furniture is much the same as elsewhere, with the addition of one or two models of ships, and some old prints of naval engagements in still older frames. In the window are a few compasses, a small tray containing silver watches in clumsy thick cases; and tobacco-boxes, the lid of each ornamented with a ship, or an anchor, or some such trophy. A sailor generally pawns or sells all he has before he has been long ashore, and if he does not, some favoured companion kindly saves him the trouble. In either case, it is an even chance that he afterwards unconsciously repurchases the same things at a higher price than he gave for them at first.
Again: pay a visit, with a similar object, to a part of London, as unlike both of these as they are to each other. Cross over to the Surry side, and look at such shops of this description as are to be found near the King's Bench prison, and in 'the Rules.' How different, and how strikingly illustrative of the decay of some of the unfortunate residents in this part of the metropolis! Imprisonment and neglect have done their work. There is contamination in the profligate denizens of a debtors' prison; old friends have fallen off; the recollection of former prosperity has passed away; and with it all thoughts for the past, all care for the future. First, watches and rings, then cloaks, coats, and all the more expensive articles of dress, have found their way to the pawnbroker's. That miserable resource has failed at last, and the sale of some trifling article at one of these shops, has been the only mode left of raising a shilling or two, to meet the urgent demands of the moment. Dressing-cases and writing-desks, too old to pawn but too good to keep; guns, fishing-rods, musical instruments, all in the same condition; have first been sold, and the sacrifice has been but slightly felt. But hunger must be allayed, and what has already become a habit, is easily resorted to, when an emergency arises. Light articles of clothing, first of the ruined man, then of his wife, at last of their children, even of the youngest, have been parted with, piecemeal. There they are, thrown carelessly together until a purchaser presents himself, old, and patched and repaired, it is true; but the make and materials tell of better days: and the older they are, the greater the misery and destitution of those whom they once adorned.

I just landed back from Orlando this morning...we were unfortunately delayed a couple hours but was still home with a cuppa in my hand, a bath ran ready and make up off by 12 so I can't complain too much.
This was a simple one night Orlando, where not a lot happens.. Ill grab some food usually Spoletto a pasta place in the mall, wander around the shops.. probably buy stuff I don't need in Bath and Body works. I mean who actually needs 10 different types of body lotions? And if I can be bothered ill walk over to Sephora have a mooch and then get a load of free samples because why not its free? If you ever go to Sephora they can give you samples of anything as long as its a liquid! So fill your boots... I do.
We decided to grab our spoletto, again oh my god if your ever in The Florida Mall, you have to go here. $10 any pasta of your choice, any sauce and 6 ingredients AND they cook it all in front of you. Its so good trust me... try it. Anyway we got out grub then headed back to my room and literally indulged in all the carbs. After a flight its all you want, that and a bath/shower.
Well this ended up being such a late night, 12 at night I think Katy left which is 5am in our body clocks... but we had such a good catch up and a girly evening which we both needed. Up early the next day though as we decided to pop down to Universal. We are super super lucky as because we work for Virgin Atlantic we actually get tickets for free. I know right! Proper jammy. So we thought sod it lets go, we had a late check out originally 5-6 so we had plenty of time to walk around the park go on some rides and take some pictures.
Universal is such a fun day out, however it is so so busy there! I feel like every time I go its always packed with schools trips also? I'm still shocked that these kids are having school trips in Orlando universal. When I was at school we had a school trip to Canterbury and the most exciting thing was being able to wear your own clothes.
On the flight we were so empty, lush loads over 200 spare both ways. I mean for any crew member that is just a dream. And all the passengers on both sectors were so lovely. Which always makes such a huge difference. And whilst flying back to Gatwick this morning we flew into the most gorgeous sunrise, obviously I took lots of pictures. I do love a good plane window views picture. If you follow me on Instagram you'd know that by now.
Anyway I have fully rambled on the blog post, sorry! But all in all had a lovely little trip to Orlando (MCO) And now im knackered and hungry. My next trip should be a lush one.. of to Barbados for a little bit of cocktails and sun.

Walker Hayes releases new single, launches YouTube series with wife Laney
ABC/Image Group LAWalker Hayes new single "Don't Let Her" has officially been released to country radio.
Walker shared the song with fans weeks prior to its radio debut Tuesday. He wrote "Don't Let Her" while on tour in Europe with Old Dominion in 2018.
The pain of missing his wife Laney and their kids back home in the U.S. inspired him to pen the song in the form of a letter to the person who would fill his shoes in the event of tragedy, listing all the important qualities in his wife.
"I'm honored to be sharing this powerful and massive song about Laney," Walker says of the track.
Additionally, he and Laney have launched a new weekly YouTube series titled Hayes of Our Lives that features the couple discussing a range of topics, from how they met to how they balance life raising six children. The first episode, "Meeting For the First Time," is available now.
