Today, an Australian regained his world-record-holding crown. Called Cassius, he is now officially the world's largest captive salt-water crocodile (after a Malaysian rival died).
Australians are generally up for some fun and hold some very creative world records.
Richard Glover and Peter FitzSimons managed to talk for 24 hours straight to create the world's longest radio interview. It will probably talk some creativity, not to mention stamina, to beat that one.
Although never occupied by the Romans, theUniversity of Queensland Union and Queensland University of Technology managed to host the World's largest toga party. This feat was made even more impressive by the fact that the event was held in absolutely torrential rain.
Participants recovering from the party might have been interested in taking part in the largest breakfast in bed; unfortunately it took place in Sydney. A total of 289 lucky people were served a delicious, hot breakfast in beds set up in Martin Place.
There are plenty of other interesting records held by Australia or Australians, such as most people wearing wigs, biggest drumming lesson and fastest marathon dressed as Mr Potato Head and new ones are set on a regular basis.
Those interested in going to Australia to take part in a record-breaking event (or for any other reason) could do well to enlist the services of a NAATI translator to keep the record straight.

"How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth"
Written by Russell Bates and David Wise
Directed by Bill Reed
Production episode: 22022
Original air date: October 5, 1974
In an ominous beginning, a mysterious space probe takes a scan of Earth's system and then self-destructs. The Enterprise's mission is to trace the imploded propulsion system's destructive matter trail to its origin and find out where it came from and who sent it.
They don't make it very far before they find a huge "crystalline ceramic" ship twice the size of the Enterprise. It's pretty far away but they can't get any closer for inspection–some kind of "globular force field," firm yet flexible, has entrapped them. As the offending ship becomes more visible they realize it looks like a giant winged snake. Needless to say, it's not anyone the Federation has had contact with before.
Luckily, this week's minority helmsmen is Walking Bear, not Sulu, and he recognizes the ship's design immediately: it looks kind of like the winged serpent Kukulkan.

The Enterprise is completing a survey mission of Pollux IV, an M-class planet with a "strange lack of intelligent life." Spock describes it as "quite ordinary," which should be your first clue that it's probably a death trap. The second clue comes when the viewscreen, which previously displayed a beautiful image of the blue planet, now shows the image of a giant green hand.
CHEKOV: Am I seeing things?
SULU: Not unless I am, too. Captain, that thing's a giant hand!
But wait, is it?
KIRK: What is it, Mr. Spock? Is it a hand?
Guys, it's a hand. Really. This isn't so hard.
UHURA: It's almost as if it means to grab us!
Maybe it just wants to…lend a hand?

Pitts may settle 8-year ethics dispute over campaign loans
On the eve of the 2001 Atlanta mayoral election, candidate Robb Pitts bounced a $45,000 check from his campaign fund.
Several campaign officials, scrambling to pay hundreds of get-out-the-vote workers, each made personal loans of $9,500 or more to cover the check. Georgia law treats those loans as campaign contributions, which at that time were capped at $2,000 from a single donor.
In October, three of those officials finally signed consent orders acknowledging that the loans violated Georgia's Ethics in Government Act. Now Pitts — who failed to pay back some or all of those loans — may be about to do the same.
The question is: Will the State Ethics Commission make Pitts, now a Fulton County commissioner, pay back those loans?
Evidence in Pitts' case was scheduled to be made public Thursday, but an administrative hearing was canceled at the last minute. Instead, Attorney General Thurbert Baker's office agreed to present a proposed settlement, offered by Pitts' attorney, to the Ethics Commission for a vote next month. Terms of the proposed consent order are confidential until it is final.
Lawyers for the state had been seeking fines of up to $7,000 against Pitts for accepting loans that exceeded statutory limits. In a Dec. 8 order, an administrative judge denied Pitts' request to dismiss the ethics charges and ruled no statute of limitations applied.
Pitts, then president of the Atlanta City Council, pulled in 33 percent of the vote in the November 2001 mayoral race. Shirley Franklin, collecting a few hundred votes more than the necessary 50 percent, won without a runoff.
According to a 2002 lawsuit filed by campaign workers against Pitts, campaign consultant Melvin Collins had estimated get-out-the-vote efforts would cost as much as $70,000. Pitts signed a $45,000 check to pay the Election Day workers Collins had hired, but the bank wouldn't cash it.
Campaign manager Daphne Bryson laughed, the suit alleged, when she learned the $45,000 check had bounced:
"Defendant Bryson laughed and advised plaintiff Collins that she knew there were insufficient funds to cover the check when she delivered it to Mr. Collins and stated that 'I knew it wouldn't (go through.) I just wanted to see if it could slide by.' "
Collins asked several campaign officials to cover the check until Pitts' campaign had the cash to make it good, according to the suit. Bryson allegedly told them more than $45,000 in contributions to the campaign had not cleared the bank yet.
Southern Co. CEO A.W. "Bill" Dahlberg and developer Robert L. Silverman, who were co-finance chairmen of Pitts' campaign, each chipped in $9,500 to help cover the loan. Former Atlanta Board of Education chair Mitzi Bickers contributed another $11,693, while Collins and other Pitts supporters covered the difference.
Bickers, Collins and others, claiming the campaign never paid back the loans, filed suit in September 2002.
It remains unclear whether Pitts' campaign ever paid back any portion of the $45,000 loan. The answers might be found in the case file for the lawsuit, but that file is inexplicably missing; clerks at Fulton County State Court searched late last year and said they couldn't find it.
Dahlberg and Silverman never got back the $19,000 they had loaned the campaign, their attorney, James A. Washburn, said this week.
Both men were expected to testify at Thursday's hearing. "They were subpoenaed by the Attorney General to testify and they were going to comply with the subpoena," Washburn said.
Bickers did not return telephone calls seeking comment on whether her loan was repaid. Neither did Pitts or his attorney, Mark Trigg.
Washburn reported the loans in a June 2002 letter to the State Ethics Commission:
"These facts have become an issue in a lawsuit that has been threatened arising out of the Pitts Campaign. After conferring with counsel, Messrs. Dahlberg and Silverman understand that their actions may have violated the letter of the Ethics in Government Act. Rather than attempt to cover up their actions, they seek to resolve this matter and present it to the State Ethics Commission for resolution. Messrs. Dahlberg and Silverman will cooperate fully with the Ethics Commission's consideration of this issue and hope to resolve this matter as expeditiously as possible."
Dahlberg and Silverman signed consent orders in October to settle ethics charges, as did Bickers. The State Ethics Commission accepted the consent orders without imposing fines.

LOLz, never take a job on a Pitts campaign.

Q: Android - Storing Game State Information That Is Retained And Used Upon Next Start-Up I have an unlockable mode in my game that is only available once the story mode has been completed. This works perfectly if the story mode is completed during a test play through, because upon returning to the main menu the bonus mode is unlocked and selectable. However when I shut down the app and relaunch it, none of the previous state information is retained and it requires you to beat the story mode again to access the bonus mode.
I use the onSaveInstanceState method to create a bundle that stores this information (ie. a boolean whether the mode is unlocked or not), but this information seems to be lost between ending the app, and relaunching it. The onCreate method takes the parameter of a savedInstanceState but yet this seems to be null.
Is there a step that I'm missing out, or doing incorrectly somewhere along the line? On a PC game I would just serialize the state into a text file and look for a special string/symbol upon initialization but I cant do that here so i thought the outState bundle you create in SIS was how you retained information for use upon next launching the app again?

A: Check out the following webpage it tells you the various way you can store data. Shared preference is what I would suggest in your case
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#preferences

A: Look up SharedPreferences. It's very easy to use, and will last you until the app is uninstalled. http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html
onSaveInstanceState is really just to retain the state while the app is recreated because of an orientation change or something similar.

Computes the gradient of the crop_and_resize op wrt the input image tensor.
grads: A 4-D tensor of shape [num_boxes, crop_height, crop_width, depth].
boxes: A 2-D tensor of shape [num_boxes, 4]. The i-th row of the tensor specifies the coordinates of a box in the box_ind[i] image and is specified in normalized coordinates [y1, x1, y2, x2]. A normalized coordinate value of y is mapped to the image coordinate at y * (image_height - 1), so as the [0, 1] interval of normalized image height is mapped to `[0, image_height - 1] in image height coordinates. We do allow y1 > y2, in which case the sampled crop is an up-down flipped version of the original image. The width dimension is treated similarly. Normalized coordinates outside the [0, 1] range are allowed, in which case we use extrapolation_value to extrapolate the input image values.
box_ind: A 1-D tensor of shape [num_boxes] with int32 values in [0, batch). The value of box_ind[i] specifies the image that the i-th box refers to.
image_size: A 1-D tensor with value [batch, image_height, image_width, depth] containing the original image size. Both image_height and image_width need to be positive.
method: A string specifying the interpolation method. Only 'bilinear' is supported for now.
Output: A 4-D tensor of shape [batch, image_height, image_width, depth].


Jim Gilbert's Nature Notes are heard on WCCO Radio beginning at 7:10 a.m. each Sunday morning. His outdoor observations and the phenology notes he collects from a network of observers across Minnesota and western Wisconsin are used for the radio broadcasts and have been part of the Minnesota Weatherguide Environment Calendars since 1977. Jim is the author of five books on nature in Minnesota and has taught and worked as a naturalist for 50 years.
Phenology is the science of tracking biological and physical events of nature in relationship to weather and climate (weather over time).
Students of nature who keep records to help find order and meaning, and make themselves more aware of the plants and animals that share planet Earth with us, are called phenologists.
Recording notes of the what, when, and where of natural happenings has been key to my over 50-year career as a naturalist and outdoor education teacher. I have been taking notes on the return of birds, dates of flowering wildflowers, ice-out and freeze up dates of lakes, fall leaf color, and I have been doing this seriously since 1967.
I needed a summer job, and got one as a naturalist at the MN Landscape Arboretum. I would take people to the bog, marsh, pond, forests, and restored prairie places. People would ask me so many questions: "When is the peak of fall color?" "When do you expect roses to be at peak?" I wanted to know too, so, I started writing a daily record to keep track.
I started to observe, and then the next year when people would ask me when the peak of fall is, I would tell them what last year was and that it might be the same around this year. I still do this to this day. Phenological observations have provided meaningful information on how a season is progressing and how it compares with past years. Overtime, I started noticing longer term trends based on my years of observations. In short, I know that fall lasts longer, winter is shorter and milder, and springs generally come sooner.
The significance of observations can be hard to notice over one or two seasons, but the trends become very clear over the years.
Now I am 78 years old. I can see these changes. I am a living record. I can say "here is what I saw…" over 10, 20, 30, 40 years. Climate change is measured in 30 year increments and I have lived through two of these timeframes.
My work is not very formal, but it is all written down. Beyond that I know it is also felt in a real and deeply personal way.
I grew up on a lake. We always went skating on Thanksgiving. Now the ponds have not frozen over by then. It has been many, many years since we had this tradition. I now work with the State Climatology office and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and we combine our information to report on ice out/in. The trend is that lakes tend to freeze later and thaw earlier. The fading away of this tradition, among others, makes me feel a deep sense of loss.
We all need to observe, listen, to get outside and lean into our five senses and make meaning of it, for ourselves. As a former science teacher and school district naturalist, I know the challenge of getting students outside to make real connections to what nature is telling us. When you stop and listen to the birds, watch the insects and take time to make sense of it all, it becomes hard to dismiss.
A lot of information on the observations and data are being shared, among a mix of types of people; researchers, educators, phenologists, climatologists, naturalists. Collectively, they undoubtedly make the case for the incredible effects of a changing climate.
We have a lot to derive from observations, to understand our climate and how it has changed over time, but we must also pay close attention to the projections to understand just how rapidly our climate is changing…now and into the future.
Like so many people, for me the recent United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report was yet another wake up call on the urgency of what we are facing. The special report on climate change boldly calls for more immediate and aggressive action to address the dire consequences of climate change that are upon us.
At times I admit I have felt somewhat hopeless about it all.
Yet, when you work with students, overtime if you are patient, you get to see what they are doing in the world. It warms my heart to hear that my students are now helping in many ways; as teachers, naturalists, politicians, researchers… and that encourages me to know that they are out there doing good.
Recently, I received a letter from a former student who is now a landscape architect working with the New York City park system, trying to make places for people to discover nature. It began…"Thank you Mr. Gilbert." She went on to share with me that she was able to realize that her motivation came from our "Friday nature walks" as a class, where we used to observe changes in nature from one week to another. The moment that inspired her was when we spotted the red winged blackbirds. We had stopped and listened in silence as they sang in territory. And though it was something seemingly small, for her it was like a switch that was flipped, a moment of clarity that would remain etched in memory and that she would continue to draw from.
For me, this has been the most rewarding, to share my passion in a way that inspires others to be curious about nature, and to motivate them to protect it.

Engineers develop system that allows amputees to move a robotic arm using their mind
June 10, 2022 by Geordie Torr
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed a system that enables amputees to move a robotic arm using signals from their brain via a small, implantable device attached to the peripheral nerve of their own arm and an AI-enabled computer.
'It's a lot more intuitive than any commercial system out there,' said Jules Anh Tuan Nguyen, a postdoctoral researcher in the university's Department of Biomedical Engineering. 'With other commercial prosthetic systems, when amputees want to move a finger, they don't actually think about moving a finger. They're trying to activate the muscles in their arm since that's what the system reads. Our technology knows the patient's intention. If they want to move a finger, all they have to do is think about moving that finger.'
The system represents a step forward from previous brain-controlled prosthetics, which require chips implanted inside the brain and connected to the outside via a port in the skull. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help interpret the signals from brain to the nerve, which the researchers suggest could make the system work well compared to similar technologies.
'Artificial intelligence has the tremendous capability to help explain a lot of relationships,' said Zhi Yang, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Minnesota. 'This technology allows us to record human data, nerve data, accurately. With that kind of nerve data, the AI system can fill in the gaps and determine what's going on. That's a really big thing – to be able to combine this new chip technology with AI. It can help answer a lot of questions we couldn't answer before.'
According to Yang, the technology could be used for other patients who have neurological disorders and chronic pain.
While the new system currently requires wires that come through the skin to connect to the exterior AI interface and robotic arm, the researchers envision a chip that could connect remotely to a computer, which could enable people to control other devices, such as a phone or car, using their minds.
'Some of these things are actually happening. A lot of research is moving from what's in the so-called "fantasy" category into the scientific category,' Yang said. 'This technology was designed for amputees for sure, but if you talk about its true potential, this could be applicable to all of us.'
The research has been published in the Journal of Neural Engineering.

Congrats, Maurits! Very well done!
I think you can make less reduction when you meet such a seeing. 0,6 or 0,65x reduction will allows better resolution and more 3-D.
As always, with a full line of images for any taste!
The telescope is very good and the filters are bad. I got Omega H-a which is even worser then your's.
Bob Jonson, the Omega owner, is a typical scammer - he promised replacement or money back, but never responded.
It could be AR12736 that returns, its latitude corresponds.
And what with their longidudes? It will be nice if it will live two or thee more rotations!
Very cool, I hope it persists the next two days!
I'm sure you meant twenty-two or at least twelve days! Such large sun spots live longer than two days, usually at least twelve days.
BTW. When my 6" refractors delivers the images like this 20190406_AR2737_Ha_Mono then my C8 sure delivers better images and very often the C11 also works so well that I can obtain the resolution at it's limit! So, you need to try RC 10" more often.
Excellent image for a 6" aperture, Christian.

Can I send an email towards a contact who clicked on a particular link inside my newsletter campaign?
Can I create drip campaigns?
We have created link actions which allow you to define trigger actions upon contact behaviour.
For example, based upon a click upon a link inside your initial newsletter a new email can be send to your contacts.
We have created LINK ACTIONS which can be defined while launching your campaign.
We only allow campaigns to be used which are part of the same campaign folder while using the send an email link action.
In the following example we explain the following click actions.
1. When a contact clicks on a certain link we send an email to that contact 10 minutes after he has clicked with more information concerning this link.
2. Everyone who clicks on the facebook link will be added to the FaceBook ( FB clickers ) contact group.


With our one-year anniversary approaching this month, the Partners of LTF decided to celebrate with margaritas and great friends. On October 19, 2018 we held our official launch party at Serendipity Labs in Ridgewood, NJ to formally thank those colleagues, friends and family who helped us get started over the past year and those who are essential to our ongoing operations. We are so very grateful for their support and to be running this rewarding business with great aspiration.
Some highlights from the evening included our announcement that we will be moving into a more permanent office suite in Paramus, NJ and attendance by some of our most cherished pro bono partners including Girls On the Run and Swim Strong. We also had the pleasure of introducing our new paralegal.
