Disinfo: Gorbachev was promised that NATO would not "expand eastwards"
Gorbachev was promised that NATO would not "go east". Where is NATO now? In West Germany, there was NATO. East Germany was not a part of NATO. They promised in words, and then what?
Disproof
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative that NATO had promised Russia it would not expand to the East.
NATO allies take decisions by consensus and these are recorded. There is no record of any decision taken by NATO about putting a halt to enlargement to the East. Personal assurances from individual leaders cannot replace Alliance consensus and do not constitute formal NATO agreements. Moreover, at the time of the alleged promise, the Warsaw Pact still existed, which by definition precluded any member of the Pact from joining NATO. Its members did not agree on its dissolution until 1991. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev himself in an interview with Russia Beyond the Headlines:
The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it was not brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders did not bring it up either.
Central and Eastern European countries began seeking NATO membership in the early 1990s. NATO actively sought to create a cooperative environment that was conducive to enlargement while simultaneously building special relations with Russia.
Also, NATO does not "expand" in the imperialistic sense as described by pro-Kremlin media. Rather, it considers the applications of candidate countries who want to join the Alliance based on their own national will. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.

Cases in the EUvsDisinfo database focus on messages in the international information space that are identified as providing a partial, distorted, or false depiction of reality and spread key pro-Kremlin messages. This does not necessarily imply, however, that a given outlet is linked to the Kremlin or editorially pro-Kremlin, or that it has intentionally sought to disinform. EUvsDisinfo publications do not represent an official EU position, as the information and opinions expressed are based on media reporting and analysis of the East Stratcom Task Force.
NATO is not an alliance of states that defend themselves
NATO is not an alliance of states that defend themselves. Today, NATO is shamelessly lying and "rolling up" to the Russian borders on its German "Leopards" – these are tanks of a new generation. NATO bases are along with Russia's borders, NATO countries have enormous defence expenditures and have a look at that NATO army… And they say that they are afraid of Russia.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about NATO.
NATO is in no way directed against Russia nor any other state. NATO's objectives are set out in the 1949 Washington Treaty which forms the legal basis of the alliance. The treaty states that parties "are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security".
Dominion deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide
A report says that the Dominion voting system deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide. Data analysis finds 221,000 Pennsylvania votes switched from president Trump to Biden. 941,000 Trump votes deleted. States using Dominion voting systems switched 435,000 votes from Trump to Biden.
Recurring disinformation about the US presidential election 2020, which Russian TV channel amplified uncritically.
After Trump's tweet, a group of federal, state and local officials overseeing the nation's voting system said that in the recent election, "there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." The joint statement, by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees, described the recent voting as "the most secure in American history." The statement was distributed by the federal government's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
Twitter, Facebook and Google are meddling into US elections and Russia
Now the US has another trouble. Large IT companies are meddling in their election: Twitter, Facebook, Google. They are censoring the republicans, smearing Trump and dominating with their pretense to determine what is good and what isn't for billions of people and for the Americans.
Is this meddling? 100%. The rule by the people that were not elected. […] What gives them the right to meddle in elections? Never mind American, but Russian? And Russian way of life as such?
Pro-Kremlin disinformation about Western social media companies and censorship. The disinformation message appeared after YouTube flagged a broadcast of "Vesti Nedeli" as potentially inappropriate or offensive to some audiences. Despite the label users wishing to view the content can still do so.
There is no basis to the claims that social media companies such as Twitter, Facebook or Google were meddling in the US election or engaging in censorship. Ahead of the 2020 Presidential election in the US the companies took it upon themselves to adopt additional measures to protect the integrity of election, which included promoting authoritative information, limiting political ads, and labelling misleading information among other means. The companies apply these measures in line with the community standards that users accept upon using the platforms.

Blake Ward "Phantom Sky"
From the masters of the Renaissance such as Michelangelo and Botticelli to the Romantic painters of the 19th century, the art of ancient Greece and Rome has inspired artists for over 2,500 years. As Picasso painted the Minotaur repeatedly and modern artist Cy Twombly inserted ancient Greek words into his paintings, antiquity continues to act as a key impetus for contemporary artists.
Hilton | Asmus Contemporary opens the winter season with "Inspired by Antiquity," a group exhibition presenting the work of three sculptors, Jyl Bonaguro, Terry Poulos and Blake Ward; and painters, Eve Ozer and Manolis Tzortzakakis, representing five countries. The gallery will host AN EVENING WITH THE ARTIST each month through April 2016.
"Inspired by Antiquity" will parallel the Field Museum's groundbreaking exhibition "The Greeks: From Agamemnon to Alexander." While "The Greeks" sheds light on the fascinating history of ancient Greece and Rome, Inspired by Antiquity will illustrate the unbroken line of inspiration in art from ancient times to the present.
TERRY POULOS: January 27, 2016
Artist, writer, inventor and historian Terry Poulos will be presenting his modern rendition of the world's oldest computer based on the Antikythera Mechanism, a hand-powered astronomical calculator dating back to 205 BC.
Art-ikythera" pays homage to an ancient example of ingenuity and technological innovation. On display at Hilton-Asmus Contemporary is the world's first sculpture of what is considered the world's oldest computer, the Antikythera Mechanism (est. 205 BC). The ancient device, strongly connected to the workshop of artisans directly working with the legendary inventor/polymath Archimedes of Syracuse (215 BC), had a complexity not equaled for 1500 years after its inception. The hand-cranked, bronze-geared device, confirmed by the construction of three separate working models post-2005, was an astronomical calculator consisting of 20 to 40 gears, cogs, and other accoutrements. Among other functions, it tracked motions of the five known planets of that era, predicted lunar and solar eclipses to the precise day and hour thousands of years in advance in accordance with its 18,000-year Saros calendar, and informed of various cultural events including when to host the ancient Olympic games every four years.
JYL BONAGURO: February 18, 2016
From the perfectly defined torsos of gods and goddesses to stylized busts of emperors and generals, sculpture was one of the most widely practiced art forms in ancient Greece and Rome. Artist and playwright, Jyl Bonaguro carries on the tradition with her marble and alabaster sculptures. Using the same tools used by ancient Greek and Romans, a hammer and chisel, she carves images that resemble broken pieces of ancient statues. These beautiful figures are purposefully fragmented with parts left unfinished in order to expose the fallacy of immortality.
EVE OZER: March 18, 2016
From frescos to panel portraits, paintings adorned the temples of ancient Greece and Rome. German born Chicago resident, Eve Ozer revives an ancient method used by Greeks, encaustic (wax) painting. Using non-traditional materials such as loofa, net, music sheets and newspapers, she creates a surface that is composed of layers of colors and textures.
Horses are an important symbol for Ozer, and Bucephalus, the steed of Alexander the Great, and Pegasus, the flying horse flow from her canvas. A painting of Terpischore the muse of dance appears in Ozer's modern abstract language.
BLAKE WARD: April 7, 2016
A longtime resident of Monte Carlo, Canadian Blake Ward's new works from his Spirits Collection provoke introspection, illustrating his contemporary approach to classical figurative sculpture and his development from firm academicism to a new liberating metallic expressionism. Building on the techniques of figurative sculpture developed in antiquity, his newest pieces challenge the classical figure by opening up the interior space of the human form as a way to search our inner selves.
While the 59-year-old Ward remains true to the representational quality and the realistic proportions of traditional sculpture, Spirits crosses over into abstract and ethereal realms where he aims for provocative figures that expand the consciousness of our inner realities. Ward's 1⁄4 scale, partial figures break away from all the fundamental rules of bronze sculpture.
MANOLIS: To Be Announced
A native of Greece, emerging artist Manolis Tzortzakakis' abstract paintings are infused with the myths of ancient Greece. Moving to Chicago in 2014, he incorporates the light and atmosphere of his new home into his work. His "Nike of Samothrace" eludes the shape of that ancient statue which is housed at the top of the grand staircase at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Manolis' interest is not in depicting an accurate image of a natural pattern or an artificial reproduction, but he attempts, by removing individual and temporal features to convey a direct "view" of the sense or essence of the world.

Retrospective 2021: Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building
In the future, will vegetables grow from your walls? Will your kitchen be made from leftovers? And will your doors be mainly constructed from algae? If it's up to the Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building, we're definitely headed in that direction. During Dutch Design Week 2021 (DDW21), visitors got a taste of what their house could look like in the future, completely biobased.
Type Update
Published on 6 December 2021
Part of Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building
The Exploded View Beyond Building - credits: about.today
The Exploded View – Beyond Building, as the biobased house is called, encouraged discussion and made people think. As Curator of the Embassy, Lucas De Man, said, "What do we think is really important? Sustainability, health and affordable housing came up a lot in the discussions we had." Biobased construction is an important part of this, but it goes much further than that.
Curator interview met Lucas De Man Read more
Changing the value system
To be able to implement these sorts of big changes, the whole value system needs to change. That is complicated and will take several decades, but according to De Man, it is much needed. "The value system is an interaction between rules imposed from above and the motivated people who implement change from below. The old system can't be changed with a snap of the fingers. There will be renewal and delay. This creates a lot of buzz and, ultimately, a new value system. That may no longer always mean thinking in more, bigger, better, but thinking more cyclically. With more attention to nature and – hopefully – less inequality."
Read more about the philosophy behind the Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building in this interview with curator Lucas De Man.

A complete experience
The Exploded View – Beyond Building was open to being admired on Ketelhuisplein during DDW21. Visitors walked through the full-size house, and in each room, they got a different insight into the materials, the production process, and its philosophy. They could see, smell, taste and feel all materials; it was a complete experience that took you on a trip to the future. Cementless concrete, hemp walls and bacteria cabinets, all kinds of new materials were tried in the house. Visitors could read additional background information about the materials via QR codes. In addition, these stories also gave them a glimpse into the future. What will society look like if we really start building biobased?
This was also the question on the designers' minds affiliated with the Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building. Pascal Leboucq, chief designer and co-curator of the Embassy, previously tipped off two interesting designers who are pre-eminently involved in this. For example, Omlab designed a 3D-printed toilet building. They use a paste consisting of cellulose, Kaumera and calcite filtered from sewage water using a special technique to create the building. Residual flows can also form a beautiful, new material. Rik Maarssen uses the residual flows of flax, hemp and rapeseed straw for his Compostboard project. When the boards can no longer be used, they can be returned to the earth. The plates still contain fibres that make the earth extra nutrient-rich. Do you want to learn more about Rik Maarssen and the projects of his company RikMakes? Read the interview with him here.
There were many other materials used, such as the Bacteria Lamp by Jan Klinger, resilient mycelium flooring by Mogu and seaweed tiles by Studio Klarenbeek & Dros. All these materials and methods are conveniently collected on the website of The Exploded View.
Watch the virtual Curator Tour here in which Lucas De Man takes you through the biobased house and highlights five projects.
The predecessor of The Exploded View – Beyond Building, a scale model, was also on display. The Exploded View – Materials and Methods inspired visitors to look at building and living in a different way. "It was cool to see the house. It gives hope, energy and inspiration for the future," says De Man.

During DDW21, visitors enjoyed both exhibitions at Strijp-S. The various tours allowed them to experience the house in all possible ways, both physically and virtually. There were also various talks, debates and workshops. For example, Chief Government Architect Francesco Veenstra talked to employees of the Central Government Real Estate Organisation and the Ministry of the General Affairs about the opportunities that biobased construction offers for making the built environment more sustainable and the realisation of fast, affordable and innovative new construction. In addition, the Agrodome Foundation organised a mini-symposium on healthy building and other benefits of natural building materials.
'This trajectory really shows you that it is possible to learn together from all the things we don't know yet.'
Eva Aarts (Waterweg), on the right Partner
The professional field joins in
TNO organised the workshop The Exploded View as a field lab for zero-emission construction. In round table discussions, various parties in the construction chain, such as architects, area developers, producers and policymakers, discussed the circular construction economy.
Fully circular and biobased construction is still a complicated task for many companies. There are already more and more start-ups and other companies looking for new materials and construction methods. They have to connect with the rest of the chain. One of those start-ups is Waterweg by Eva Aarts. They are also one of the partners of the Embassy. The company makes water-compatible tiles from materials that have been dredged from rivers and canals. "We notice that everyone is transferring responsibility when it comes to circular biobased construction," says Aarts. "When you come together, you can hear very clearly what everyone's questions are and everyone's position. This trajectory really shows you that it is possible to learn together from all the things we don't know yet. That balance is nice."
In addition, the Embassy organised a conference in which builders, architects, housing corporations and other stakeholders from Brabant discussed the idea of realising circular housing. Several ambitious targets have already been set, such as Green Deals, City Deals and Climate Agreements and Plans. During the conference, the parties involved looked at how they could objectively and measurably achieve these plans.
The Embassy of Circular & Biobased Building created a common ground for both construction professionals and the general public. Inspiring people and projects took everyone into the world of tomorrow, in which homes are affordable and sustainable.

Q: Setting restrictedToMinimumLevel per sink in appSettings Not sure if this is supported, but I would like to set the 'restrictedToMinimumLevel' for my ColoredConsole sink via appSettings.
I am creating the Serilog global object as follows:
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
                .ReadAppSettings()
                .CreateLogger();

I tried the following in my app.config:
<add key="serilog:write-to:ColoredConsole.restrictedToMinimumLevel" value="Information" />

It seems Serilog is trying to process but chokes on the string to Serilog.Events.LogLevel enum(?) conversion.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'Serilog.Events.LogEventLevel'.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this functionality not currently supported?
Thanks.

A: This should work, so in all likelihood you've found a bug. I've raised one on the Serilog issue tracker for it, if possible I'll get a fix out soon.

After Tales from the Crypt, where else can you go? The Haunt of Fear? How about The Vault of Horror? Roy Ward Baker was also the director of Asylum, Scars of Dracula and The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires, so that makes him absolutely perfect for this one. Strangely, none of these stories appeared in The Vault of Horror comic book. They all come from Tales from the Crypt and Shock SuspenStories.
Five strangers ride an elevator to the basement of an office building where they reach a mysterious basement room that looks like a gentlemen's club. There's no exit, so they get drinks and each man shares the nightmare they've been dreading every night.
Midnight Mess originally appeared in Tales from the Crypt #35. Harold Rodgers (Daniel Massey) and his sister Donna (real-life siblings Daniel and Anna Massey) reunited in a strange village where brother kills sister over the family's estate. But later, as he dines out, he realizes that this is a town of vampires and his sister isn't as deceased as he believed. The last frame of this scene is absolutely perfect!
The Neat Job comes from Shock SuspenStories #1 and concerns Terry-Thomas being an old bachelor with OCD who finally marries his trophy wife, Eleanor (Glynis Johns, who was much later in life the grandmother in While You Were Sleeping). His constant prissy orders and need for perfection drive her crazy and she puts all of his organs into nicely labelled jars. Becca has threatened to do this to me so many times that I changed my Driver's License so that she gets my organs instead of someone else.
This Trick'll Kill You first appeared in Tales from the Crypt #33. Sebastian (Curt Jürgens, The Mephisto Waltz) is a magician on vacation in India looking for new tricks for himself and his wife Inez (Dawn Addams, The Countess from The Vampire Lovers). He's also ready to steal and kill to get ahead. The conclusion to this one isn't quite as gory as the comic story but is much creepier as blood just comes out the ceiling, hinting that something really brutal has just happened.
Bargain in Death comes from Tales from the Crypt #28 and is all about an insurance scam and graverobbers, as well as double crosses and outright murder.
Drawn and Quartered was in Tales from the Crypt #26 and is the final story. A painter living in Haiti — played by Tom Baker! — discovers that he may be poor, but his paintings are selling for top dollar thanks to art dealers Diltant (Denholm Elliott) and Gaskill (John Witty) after art critic Fenton Breedley (Terence Alexander) makes his work the talk of the art scene. It turns out they all conspired to keep him hungry while they benefitted from his work, so he gets voodoo power in his painting hand and paints the three men, then destroys them. For some reason, he also painted himself and when that canvas gets covered with paint thinner, things get ugly.
Finally, all of the men walk into a graveyard and disappear, while Sebastian the magician stays behind in the room before he goes away, too.
This is the only Amicus portmanteau without Peter Cushing, who was filming And Now the Screaming Starts! while this film was in production. This is Amicus at the height of their powers, however, and this is a film worth owning. You can get it — and Tales from the Crypt — as a two blu ray set from Shout! Factory.

African Religions: A Very Short Introduction
Jacob K. Olupona
A comprehensive look at African religious traditions
Provides a historical overview of the field while also demonstrating new areas of inquiry
Compares African religious traditions with other world religions
Part of the bestselling Very Short Introduction series - over six million copies sold worldwide
What are African religions? African Religions: A Very Short Introduction answers this question by examining primarily indigenous religious traditions on the African continent, as well as exploring Christianity and Islam. It focuses on the diversity of ethnic groups, languages, cultures, and worldviews, emphasizing the continent's regional diversity. Olupona examines a wide range of African religious traditions on their own terms and in their social, cultural, and political contexts. For example, the book moves beyond ethnographic descriptions and interpretations of core beliefs and practices to look at how African religion has engaged issues of socioeconomic development and power relations.
Olupona examines the myths and sacred stories about the origins of the universe that define ethnic groups and national identities throughout Africa. He also discusses spiritual agents in the African cosmos such as God, spirits, and ancestors. In addition to myths and deities, Olupona focuses on the people central to African religions, including medicine men and women, rainmakers, witches, magicians, and divine kings, and how they serve as authority figures and intermediaries between the social world and the cosmic realm.
African Religions: A Very Short Introduction discusses a wide variety of religious practices, including music and dance, calendrical rituals and festivals, celebrations for the gods' birthdays, and rituals accompanying stages of life such as birth, puberty, marriage, elderhood, and death. In addition to exploring indigenous religions, Olupona examines the ways Islam and Christianity as outside traditions encountered indigenous African religion. He shows how these incoming faith traditions altered the face and the future of indigenous African religions as well as how indigenous religions shaped two world religions in Africa and the diaspora.
Olupona draws on archaeological and historical sources, as well as ethnographic materials based on fieldwork. He shows that African religions are not static traditions, but have responded to changes within their local communities and to fluxes caused by outside influences, and spread with diaspora and migration.

BATON ROUGE, La. - The blazing starts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are raising doubts about preseason assumptions that the West is best in the Southeastern Conference.
Sure, the West Division remains home to the top nationally ranked teams in the league: No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 LSU. But the next few weeks - LSU travels to No. 11 Florida on Oct. 6 and hosts No. 6 South Carolina on Oct. 13 - will clarify the extent to which the SEC's balance of power has begun shifting eastward.
"It looks like it has turned that way, with Florida undefeated, Georgia and us right there," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said, although he also noted that none of his team's victories have come against an opponent that currently has a winning record. "We don't know how good we are, just like a lot of teams don't know."
Florida (4-0), which has this week off, will be undefeated when it hosts LSU in a game Gators offensive coordinator Brent Pease called "a defining moment to see where we're at."
The leaders in the East have been winning with dominant defenses and powerful running games, a formula familiar to the Crimson Tide and the Tigers.
That is a bit of a departure for Spurrier, who made his name as a coach at Florida with a wide open pass-oriented offense called the "Fun 'N' Gun."
The 2012 Gamecocks (4-0) rank second in the SEC in points allowed (9.8 per game) and fourth in total defense (300.2 yards per game). The two best-known players on their roster are defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (third in the league in tackles for losses) and running back Marcus Lattimore (80 yards rushing per game).
Fifth-ranked Georgia (4-0) has the conference's leading rusher in Todd Gurley (101.5 ypg) and a defensive star in linebacker Jarvis Jones, who ranks second in the league in tackles for losses. Florida's Mike Gillislee is the SEC's second-leading rusher (100.5 ypg), and the Gators lead the SEC in pass defense efficiency, allowing a completion rate of less than 52 percent while intercepting six passes.
"The SEC East is an outstanding part of our league," said Georgia coach Mark Richt, insinuating that the team that wins the division will deserve more credit for its strength of schedule than some might have thought before the season. "Preseason, everybody had an opinion on everybody's schedules, and I felt like we just aren't going to know how tough everybody's schedule is until you play the season and you have a better idea of how tough it is. We felt like we had some very outstanding teams in the East, and so far they are proving it."
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley won't argue with that. His team is showing signs of improvement this season with 3-1 record, the lone loss coming against the Gators.
"There's a lot of good football teams on this side," Dooley said of the East. "We've only played one of them, so it's hard for me to evaluate the rest. I know the one we played is a good football team."
Of the six straight national titles won by the SEC, four of the last five, including the past three, have been won by either Alabama, Auburn or LSU, all teams from the West. Florida - during the Urban Myer era - was the lone team from the East to win national championships in that span, in 2006 and 2008.
During the past two seasons, the team representing the East in Atlanta struggled to mount much of a challenge to the West Division winner. LSU crushed Georgia, 42-10, last season, only to lose in the BCS title game to Alabama, which had finished second in the SEC West.
Certainly, when last season ended, the power in the SEC appeared heavily concentrated in the West, not only because of the Crimson Tide and Tigers, but because of Arkansas finishing fifth in the final AP Poll.
Arkansas has subsequently fallen on hard times with the scandalous departure of coach Bobby Petrino and a 1-3 start under interim coach John L. Smith. Alabama still looks all but invincible, but LSU less so after narrowly escaping with a 12-10 victory at Auburn last weekend.
"Right now, Alabama and LSU deserve to be the standard," said Mississippi first-year coach Hugh Freeze, whose team meets Alabama this weekend. "But I don't think those schools in the East are far off at all."
Certainly, LSU has taken notice of how much tougher its schedule now looks with apparent improvement of the Gators and Gamecocks.
"The SEC is as strong as ever. The last few years it was in the West. This year, we have teams executing on both sides. That's how it should be," said LSU offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk, whose six years (including two redshirt years) at LSU have spanned most of the SEC's streak of national titles. "This year, it looks like the East is as strong as ever."
LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo was a major part of the Tigers squad that blew out the Bulldogs in the second half of last season's SEC title game. He said he would be surprised to see the winner of the West win that contest by more than four touchdowns this December.
"It definitely will be a real game in Atlanta," Mingo said. "You have Florida, South Carolina, Georgia. Those teams are pretty good - really good, not pretty good."


running an ultima ignition. This simplifies the wiring somewhat in that we can disconnect the ECM and run one harness from the timing and pickup to the coil and then up to the VOES and tach.
There's no VOES. I have one on order and will hopefully run it but in the meantime am hoping to get the bike on the road without.
The dash I have appears to be accurate to the year based on the user's manual and other materials but has a spot for the ignition key. The bike frame and harness I have are expecting the ignition more in the mid-frame by the coil and rear cylinder.
There's no horn. I may change this or hook one up just to eliminate more wires and test the switches.
Gerry, a fellow FXR owner at Lucky Wheels in LA has been extremely helpful and has sent me some pictures, diagram and graphics which I have since embellished upon.
Gerry sent this picture to me and it has proven exceeding useful as it shows where things actually exist on the bike and what connectors to expect. No idea about primary source but it's awesome. Thanks Gerry!
This diagram illustrates the necessary main harness connections for basic lights and ignition switch. This could be considered a "Step 1" for wiring. You can rough in the harness. Not included in this diagram is the timing and starting circuit.
This is the starting circuit and colors in the necessary connections for starting. Most of these are again in the main harness but it made some sense to separate this because some of the colors overlap with the lights and I wanted to make it into a step 2.
This describes the ignition and timing circuit for hooking up an Utlima aftermarket ignition. I have intentionally left the Tachometer connection open as I have not yet had a chance to look at it. Note: for obvious reasons, white is indicated with magenta.
This jumper connects the main harness and block to the right switch block.

International Friendly: Estonia vs Morocco – Lineups, Preview and Prediction
Morocco continue their World Cup preparations with a trip to Tallinn to face an Estonia side who have yet to qualify for a major tournament.
REUTERS/Denis Balibouse
17:00 BST, Saturday 9th June, A. Le Coq Arena, (Tallinn, Estonia)
Morocco's World Cup warm-up campaign concludes with a trip to Tallinn. This comes on the back of excursions to Geneva, Casablanca, and Torino where they faced the likes of Serbia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and Slovakia.
That selection of games produced three wins and a draw for the African Nations' champions to extend their unbeaten run to 17 games in all competitions. This will be their first ever meeting with the Estonians.
After a 20-year absence from FIFA's elite tournament, Morocco have been drawn in a group containing Spain, Portugal, and Iran. As a result, they are odds-on not to qualify for the Round of 16.
Coach Herve Renard has toyed with 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 and 4-3-3 formations during his time in charge, and his team will often switch systems during games.
Meanwhile, Estonia enjoyed their most successful qualifying campaign ever, only losing 50% of their games and finishing fourth in a group of six. However, World Cup participation remains a distant dream for the Baltic nation.
Since 2016, they have been coached by Martin Reim who is also the nation's most capped player with 157 appearances. He also holds the distinction of being the most capped footballer never to have featured at a major tournament.
The team often lines up with three or five at the back with four in the middle and a target man up front. This allows them to withdraw into a tight defensive unit with two banks of five and four against stronger opposition but switch to a more attacking 3-4-3 against weaker teams.
Latvia 1-0 Estonia (Baltic Cup)
Estonia fell to a 70th minute Janis Ikaunieks goal in their recent Baltic Cup match against Latvia. It was a fairly even game but Reim's men created the most chances with four shots on target to Latvia's one.
Unfortunately, they could not convert and the home side lifted the trophy, drawing with Lithuania in the final game. It was the eighth game in a row involving Estonia to produce two goals or fewer.

May, 2015:
Hong Kong pulls plug on on-shore power supply for cruise ships
Officials say plan to power cruise ships from land too costly as disappointed green groups insist system would have reduced emissions
Plans for plug-in power at the Kai Tak terminal have been temporarily shelved as it would be a costly system few cruise liners around the world could or would use, environmental authorities say.
The announcement drew disappointment from the city's green groups who believe building on-shore power recharging facilities can help reduce emissions and ultimately save lives.
But while plugging into electric power on land, rather than recharging from the vessel's running engines, could "eliminate" ship emissions at berth, the Environmental Protection Department said such facilities would cause the two-berth terminal to be "significantly underutilised".
Out of the 60 cruise terminals in the Asia Pacific, only five ports were considering on-shore power supply (OPS) in the coming five to 10 years, the department said, in a paper that is to be discussed at the Legislative Council environmental affairs panel next week.
The findings were based on a study by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department in 2013 on the feasibility of installing on-shore power at Kai Tak.
Installing such a system would take 60 months to prepare, HK$315 million to build and cost up to HK$14 million per year in operating costs, the paper said.
The department also found that only 35 international cruise ships would be equipped with on-shore power systems by the end of this year – about 16 per cent of all international cruise ships. Most of those vessels also plied North American rather than Asian routes, where there was at least seven terminals equipped with plug-in facilities.
"The high cost outlay coupled with low interest of cruise liners in equipping their vessels with OPS, are not conducive to the installation of OPS systems," the department said.
"The survey findings suggest that setting up OPS is not a priority task among cruise ports in the Asia Pacific region and this will likely remain so in the foreseeable future."
The report said most cruise ships believe it would be more cost-effective to switch to cleaner fuel at berth. A mandate requiring ocean-going vessels to switch to lower sulphur fuels at berth will come into effect in July.
But Clean Air Network disagreed with the findings saying Hong Kong should have "seized the opportunity" to be a front runner in Asia for OPS.
"The government tends to calculate cost benefits without considering external social costs," said Clean Air Network chief executive Kwong Sum-yin. "The building of on-shore power facilities is certainly worthwhile in order to protect public health."
Citing the Hedley Environmental Index, the group calculated that 42 deaths and HK$523 million could be saved a year from harmful cruise ship air pollution.
Friends of the Earth said the decision reflected a "planning mistake" since both location and design had been factored very early on.
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying had committed the government to develop OPS at Kai Tak in his 2013 policy address.
"The government spends millions in public funds on a consultancy report, but now they say the plan as not feasible in terms of cost-effectiveness," the group said.
It urged the government to look into developing on-shore power at the Kwai Chung container port instead, which was an even bigger hotbed of shipping emissions.

United States Women's National Team player, Mallory Pugh (#2), chases a ball down during the game against Sweden's National Team on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2019, in Columbus, Ohio.
01.23.20 / 11:04 am
USWNT: Mallory Pugh left off qualifying roster as the aging team heads to the 2020 Summer Olympics
The United States women's national team released the Olympic qualifying roster for the 2020 Summer Olympics. This roster required three players to be cut from the World Cup Roster, bringing it down to 20. With Alex Morgan announcing her pregnancy, that allowed for a little bit of room to cut. However, fans were shocked when the roster was released and the young fan-favorite, Mallory Pugh, was left off the roster in favor of Jessica McDonald and Lynn Williams.
Let's break down the statistics from the USWNT and the National Women's Soccer League between Pugh, Williams and McDonald:
Mallory Pugh
In the NWSL, Pugh has struggled keeping her minutes of play. In the 2019 season, Pugh only saw 765 minutes played as opposed to her 1,082 minutes in 2018 and 1,203 in her first season. With the decreasing minutes and only nine starts in 2019, her number of goals scored saw a hit. Pugh went from scoring six goals in her first NWSL season to scoring only two goals and two assists in the 2019 season.
But performing at a national league level is not the same as performing at the international level. While Pugh's performance at the national league is taken into consideration, the statistics of her international time are not ignored in determining whether or not she should have a spot on the roster. With a total of 62 caps, Pugh has scored 18 goals since starting on the USWNT in 2016.
Pugh has had trouble staying healthy throughout her seasons in the NWSL as well as the USWNT. Between a strained right hamstring in 2017 that took her out for six weeks, a ligament sprain in her right knee in 2018 and a hip injury in 2019, Pugh has been battling injuries for the majority of her professional career.
Jessica McDonald
With veteran status in the NWSL, McDonald, got her start on the USWNT later than most. Not getting her first call up until 2016 at the age of 28. However, her age doesn't stop her from dominating the national league. With 11 starts, 16 games played and a total of 1,031 minutes played in the 2019 season, McDonald helped lead the North Carolina Courage to the championship with six goals and three assists.
However, her performance in the national league has not translated, completely, to the international games. Within three years, McDonald has had 14 caps and only scored two goals. It leaves the question: Can she perform at the international level the same way she does in the national league?"
Lynn Williams
Williams has without a doubt rose to fame in the NWSL. Ranked number two on the list of players, only falling behind Australia's Sam Kerr. Williams has acquired 2,052 minutes in the 2019 season with 23 starts out of 24 games played. Out of those games, she has scored 12 goals and assisted others six times. However, with 99 shots and only 48 on target, that number seems less impressive. Overall, Williams is a solid player on offense and defense and it translates to international play.
Acquiring 21 caps and six goals, Williams' average goals per games equals about 0.29 each game, equaling out to about the same as Pugh. However, Williams performance in a total of only 90 minutes, having more experience in the game and her ability to stay healthy, gives her the competitive edge.
Whether or not Mallory Pugh deserved a spot on the roster, the fact remains that head coach, Vlatko Andonovski, had the hard decision of cutting 23 players down to 20. With the current roster, the average age of the team is 29. While Pugh could have added a younger body to the field, only time will tell if Andonovski's choices will pay off at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

ITV.com: A powerful typhoon with torrential rains and high winds has struck the southern Japanese islands of Okinawa. Typhoon Man-yi is currently predicted to turn north towards the nation's main islands and then east towards Tokyo on Monday. The storm - classified as a category four typhoon with 100mph and gusts of up to 145mph - is expected to pound much of Japan with heavy rain over an extended holiday weekend.
More than 8,000 people have been advised to evacuate as up to 500mm (20 inches) of rain is expected to fall on some parts Kyushu island by Saturday morning, further battering areas already hit by heavy rains and flooding earlier this week.
Hundreds of flights have been cancelled and 100,000 people left without electricity as Typhoon Man-yi bore down on the tropical Okinawa island chain some 1,000 miles southwest of Tokyo. Eight people were injured, though none seriously.
Television footage showed a car on its side in the city of Naha having been blown over by wind, and cars ploughing through streets covered with water. Electric poles were toppled to the ground, one crushing a car.
A spokesman from a Japanese meteorology agency said: "This storm is moving rather slowly, which means that rain will fall for quite some time, especially in places like Kyushu."
The agency described the typhoon's speed as that of "somebody on a bicycle".
"Rain is the biggest worry with this storm. Given the rain that has already fallen in Kyushu, the chance of damage is high."
Meanwhile, 12 crew members of a Chinese ship are missing after the vessel sank on route from Papua New Guinea to China in strong winds and in seven metre (23ft) seas due to Typhoon Man-yi. Two men were rescued.
