Jan Ingen-Housz
† Catholic_Encyclopedia ► Jan Ingen-Housz
Investigator of the physiology of plants, physicist, and physician, b. at Breda in North Brabant, 8 Dec., 1730; d. at London, 7 Sept., 1799. He attended the Latin school at Breda, studied at Louvain, and later at Leyden, medicine, physics, and chemistry, and received the degree of Doctor of Medicine, although when and where the degree was obtained is unknown. Originally (from 1757) he practised medicine at Breda, but after the death of his father and on the invitation of the royal physician John Pringle he settled in London (1765), where he became acquainted with William Hunter, Alexander Monro, and George Armstrong. He studied the inoculation of children for small-pox, then a new theory, under Armstrong, and became a zealous advocate of it. In the spring of 1768 he was called to Vienna to inoculate the imperial family, a task which he accomplished successfully, notwithstanding the hostility of the Viennese physician Anton de Haen. In 1780 he travelled from Vienna to Paris in order to make the acquaintance of Benjamin Franklin. The great veneration he felt for Franklin caused Ingen-Housz to determine to settle in America, but unexpected occurrences, a long illness, and the death of Franklin in 1790 prevented the carrying out of this plan. He returned, therefore, to London to regain his health, and to await the restoration of political peace before returning to Vienna. The remainder of his life was spent at London. In 1775 he married Agatha Maria Jacquin, sister of the Viennese botanist Nicholas Jacquin; the marriage was childless.
To Ingen-Housz is due the discovery of the exchange of gas in plants under the influence of light. The green parts of plants, especially the leaves, exhale oxygen and absorb carbonic acid. In the dark the green parts exhale carbonic acid. The latter process goes on almost continuously in the parts of plants that are not green, as well as in the flowers and fruits. Before this Joseph Priestly (1733-1804) had explained the exhalation of oxygen as a result of the growth of plants, but later he adopted the views of Ingen-Housz, without mentioning the latter; the same course was followed by Jean Senebier (1742-1809). Ingen-Housz discovered the vegetable character of algae and introduced in microscopics the use of the cover glasses (mica-scales). Fired by Franklin's discoveries he devoted himself as early as 1757 to the study of electricity; the plate electrical machine is his invention. He supported the theory of Franklin's lightning conductor with a pointed tip, while in England a metal ball was used at the tip. Under his direction the palace and the powder-magazine at Vienna were equipped with Franklin's lightning-conductor. Mention should be made of his proposals concerning the construction of the ship's compass, the discovery that platinum is paramagnetic, the experiments begun with Franklin on the conduction of heat by metals, the discovery of oxy-hydrogen gas, and the invention of an air pistol with electrical ignition. Besides introducing inoculation for small-pox into Austria Ingen-Housz proposed the inhalation of oxygen in diseases of the lungs.
His most important works are, in botany: "Experiments upon Vegetables Discovering Their Great Power of Purifying the Common Air in the Sunshine" (London, 1779; German, 1780, 1786-1790; Dutch, 1780; French, 1780, 1785); "An Essay on the Food of Plants and the Renovation of Soils" (London, 1796; German, 1798; Dutch, 1797); in physics: treatises in "Philosophical Transactions": "Easy Methods of Measuring the Diminution of Bulk, taking place upon the mixture of common and nitrous air, together with experiments on platina" (1776); "Electrical Experiments to Explain how far the Phenomena of the Electrophorus may be accounted for by Dr. Franklin's Theory" (1778); "On Some New Methods of Suspending Magnetic Needles" (1779); "Account of a New Kind of Inflammable Air or Gas". "Vermischte Schriften physisch-medizinischen Inhaltes", translated by Niklas Karl Molitor (Vienna, 1782; 2nd ed., 2 vols., 1784), contains all the papers which appeared in the "Philosophical Transactions". The same miscellany appeared in Franch and Dutch in 1785; "Miscellanea physico-medica", ed. Jo. Andreas Scherer (Vienna, 1795). Manuscript collections of letters are privately owned, excepting the letters to Franklin which belong to the "American Philosophical Society" of Philadelphia; 27 letters written by Ingen-Housz are in the Imperial Library at Vienna; Franklin's letters, verbally in part, are to be found in the "Auktionskatalog VIII" of 11 Mar., 1901, issued by Gilhofer and Ranschburg of Vienna.
Old biographies by M.J. GODEFROI (1875) and TREUB (1880), in De Gids, No. 9, both in Dutch. The latest biography and an exhaustive one is by WIESNER, Jan Ingen-Housz, Sein Leben und sein Wirken als Naturforscher und Arzt (Vienna, 1905).

Attacking Limbaugh, Liberals Ignore Years Of Their Own Misogyny
FOUL LANGUAGE WARNING
Time and again, the sheer hypocrisy and double standards practiced by Liberal Democrats glares out at America, and goes largely ignored, especially by our very own liberally biased lamestream media.
No better example can exist than their cries of a "Misogynistic Right" and their actions of being "holier than thou" in condemnations of Rush Limbaugh or any other well known conservative they despise when they make a clear disparaging comment against a woman.
I won't excuse Rush and agree that his use of the word "slut" was over the top and uncalled for. But, he did apologize on air.
That meant nothing to liberals who have for many years now wanted to silence the right, especially Rush Limbaugh.
March 6, 2012 saw an email blast from "Kristen at MomsRising.org," a spin-off of far left leaning Moveon.org that begins, "That's it. We need to rush Rush off the air," and adds, "Rush's misogynistic tirades are harmful. Our daughters see that when women speak up for women, they can be ridiculed, demeaned, and labeled 'prostitutes.' And what's even more outrageous is that many of the commercial sponsors of Rush's show are marketing directly to women."
Just today, this same "Kristen" sent another email blast titled, "Tell Rush's Corporate Sponsors to Use the Withdrawal Method."
Also on March 6, 2012, a "D. Washington" representing Moveon.org and titled "Clear Channel: Cancel Rush Limbaugh." That email makes the claim, "Rush Limbaugh's radio show is a part of the Clear Channel lineup, and it's time that they no longer allow Rush Limbaugh to spew hateful and derogatory comments."
The Washington Post's Alexandra Petri penned a blatant lie and when called on it by Rush, on air, and instead of just admitting she was wrong and issuing a simple apology, launches into a screed attacking Rush because he described her trash as "b-i-tchy" and "an out-and-out lie," whining it is not how she expected to spend "International Women's Day."
And, can we not see the hypocrisy in her meme attacking Rush's poor choice of words as she claims "It turns out that people who really, truly still enjoy Rush Limbaugh's show are, how do I put this, jerks?"
Maybe Ms. Petri has already spent an excessive time Getting in tough with her Inner Bitch.
Returning to Kristen from MomsRising.org, she also says, "Let's teach Rush Limbaugh and his corporate sponsors that moms stand up to bullies. And if you target and try to silence us, or our daughters, there will be a high price to pay."
Do Mom's really stand up to Bullies? If so, I'd like to know where the email blasts have been over the years when Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Bill Maher, Matt Taibbi or Ed Schultz spewed their own Misogynistic vitriol against conservative women.
In the 2008 election Ed Schultz labeled conservative radio host Laura Ingraham a "right-wing slut." He apologized as the cone of silence descended around him. He's labeled conservative columnist Kirsten Powers a "bimbo."
Keith Olbermann has described conservative columnist and radio and TV personality Michelle Malkin as a "mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick." He had no problem saying conservative commentator S.E. Cupp "should have been aborted by her parents."
Left-win author/journalist Matt Taibbi refers to Representative Michelle Bachman as "batshit crazy." Disagreeing with him, 70 year-old novelist and feminist Erica Jong found herself labeled an "800-year old sex novelist."
Chris Matthews, expressing his disdain for darling of the Democrats Hillary Clinton, frequently labeled her as "Nurse Ratched," "Madame Defarge," "witchy," "anti-male," and "uppity."
Another darling of the left, Bill Maher who recently donated $1 Million to the Obama campaign, has labeled former Alaska Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin as a "dumb twat" and a "cunt" on his TV show.
Perhaps to be expected and once again proving the double standard, two prominent female Democrats, Sheila Jackson Lee and Jan Schakowsky, both of whom have been outspoken and calling for Rush's head, would not even comment on Maher's Misogyny nor would they call on Barack Obama to return the donation.
Red more revelations of liberal's Misogyny from Kirsten Powers at the Daily Beast.
Even with his own Misogyny exposed, the Alabama Democratic party has recruited Maher to host a fund raiser for Barack Obama.
Apparently calling women "dumb twats" and "cunts" is okay, just as long as it is a liberal Democrat doing it.
All of these examples above resulted in total silence from the lamestream media. Not an utterance of condemnation from Barack Obama, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz or anybody on the left. Most of you are probably unaware any of the above went out over the air since they weren't "newsworthy." Yet, these same people feign being so offended over Rush Limbaugh.
Don't expect condemnation of Über liberal radio host Randi Rhodes for the following either.
No, condemnation from the media and Democrats is reserved for the right as they continue to call for "more civility" that they refuse to give.

Trebicki signs with Select
Stefan Trebicki has joined Select Property Group from SimpsonHaugh as design architect.
Trebicki will work on projects for Select's three core brands – the group develops and manages student accommodation under the Vita brand, serviced apartments under Citysuites, and PRS as Affinity Living.
In his time as an associate at SimpsonHaugh, Trebicki was responsible for the management of its early stage business, leading a team of architects whose focus was undertaking bid submissions and concept feasibility studies for large-scale, city centre developments.
In recent years, he has also played a leading role in the design development of the St John's masterplan in Manchester, and in the refurbishment of the city's grade two-listed Town Hall Extension.
Trebicki will work between Select's in-house teams and external consultants, with the initial focus being on the appraisal of new opportunities and developing design solutions to achieve deliverable, appropriate and relevant buildings.
He said: "Select's approach to property differs from other developers and I was attracted by the company's ambitions together with their focus on the customer throughout the design and development process."
Michele Steel, strategic planning director at Select, said: "Having Stefan join the planning and acquisition department is a fantastic coup. He is remarkably experienced and talented and it's great to have him on board."

5. Imperial spaces in pekka hämäläinen's the comanche empire
Rachel St. John
This review focuses on Pekka Hämäläinen's characterization and analysis of the Comanche empire as a spatial category in The Comanche Empire and discusses how this work relates to broader discussions about space and power in borderlands and imperial histories. Although empires have long been central actors in borderlands histories, "empire" has not necessarily been a category of spatial organization and analysis and certainly not one used to describe spaces controlled by Native peoples. By contrast, while Hämäläinen emphasizes the imperial characteristics of the economic, political, and cultural dimensions of Comanche history (as other contributors to this forum discuss), he also uses "empire" to characterize Comanche dominance spatially. Hämäläinen helps us to rethink the spatial dynamics that both shaped and were produced by the encounters between Comanches and Spaniards, French, Mexicans, Americans, and other Native peoples in the Great Plains during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. By analyzing how Comanches came to control vast stretches of the southern plains, The Comanche Empire challenges our assumptions about how Native polities and imperial powers (and groups like the Comanches that Hämäläinen argues were both) thought about territorial claims and how they employed more nuanced spatial strategies to assert their authority, extend their cultural influence, and control trade and resources.

Huating () is a town under the district of Jiading in Shanghai, China. Huating has an estimated population of 24,529 in 2007.

Geography
Huating is located to the north west of Shanghai, bordering Liuhe Town of Taicang County Jiangsu province. Huating is around 30 km from downtown Shanghai. Huating has an area of around 39.5 km2. Huating has rich soils and abundant fresh water supply from the river system. These natural resources make Huating a rich land where everything grows, from staple food such as rice, wheat, oats to specialty plants and vegetables very local. The weather is mild and wet, with a lot of rain in summer which tends to be very hot and humid.

Administration
Huating has eleven administrative villages including Yuanjiaqiao (袁家桥, Xinyuan (新园), Lianyi (联一), Lianhua (联华), Liansan (联三), Beixin (北新), Huating (华亭), Jinlu (金吕), Taqiao (塔桥), Liangjun (连俊), Shuangtang (双塘) and Maoqiao (毛桥).

Huating today is the result of a merger of two towns (Huating and Tanghang 唐行) back in 2001, as part of the Jiading restructuring program. Huating local people sometimes refer to Huating as "Yuan Jia Qiao" (袁家桥)

Huating's postal zip code is 201811. Telephone area code is (021) 599.

Economy
Huating has an industrial focus on modern agriculture and related tourism that are environmentally friendly, healthy and sustainable. The "Huating Home" (华亭人家) which is part of the larger Jiading Modern Agriculture district is located in Huating. It has a multitude of activities including log cabin fishing, fruit picking, tea tasting, local food dining, kite flying, farm produce shopping and lodging that bring visitors from Shanghai and nearby locations for short outings or excursions. The address is 518 Shuangzhu Rd Huating, Jiading District, Shanghai 201811. You can view "Huating Home" from the Google satellite map at .
Huating, among other towns in Jiading, produces very good quality garlic that is exported to many countries of the world. Garlic is an influential plant that provides three rounds of harvest to locals: young garlic sprout, garlic flower stem and garlic itself. All three are great food or seasoning ingredients. Other major plants grown include rice and wheat. Vegetable oil plants and cottons have basically disappeared. Instead, there are now many fields where fruits or other high-yielding plants or trees are grown.

Huating is moving away from the traditional low-yielding staple food farming. The town has learned the trick of better leveraging farm land for higher yield use. Huating has a very big and famous cemetery for people from around Shanghai to lay to peace the cremains of their loved ones for a fee. The cemetery's name is Huating Cemetery (华亭息园). The address is 7994 Jixiang Road Huating Jiading Shanghai .

Huating also has manufacturing and retail sectors. Most manufacturing is labor-intensive rather than technology intensive. Retail businesses are mostly for selling household stuff such as salt, sugar and grocery. There are a few supermarket stores in Huating "downtown" area including Lianghua and Hualiang. There is a farmer's market in downtown Huating where local farmers and merchants trade.

Lifestyle and Customs
Huating locals speak the Huating dialect, which has similarities to the Shanghai dialect with slangs and variances of pronunciations that are different from Shanghai dialect. The net effect is that it is easier for people from the neighbouring Liuhe town in Jiangsu province to understand someone from Huating, than for people who speak idiomatic Shanghai dialect to understand the same person.

Schools
Huating used to have two middle schools. One is Huating Middle School (华亭中学). The other was Tanqiao Middle School. There were many primary schools. Usually each village had at least one primary school named after the village or a landmark near the school. Most Huating local kids went to school from their neighbourhood primary school, then moving onto the Huating middle school and eventually moving out of town to attend high school or vocational schools. This is how most local kids realized their dreams of high education that their parents never dreamed of.
Over the past ten years, there have been many "mergers and acquisitions" among schools. Many traditional village level schools disappeared. Instead, resources are pooled into larger schools with more facilities and resources. Most primary and middle school students go to one school at the town level now. This is Huating Central Primary School for elementary education or Huating Middle School for middle school education. Students go to High School out of Town in Jiading or further away in Shanghai.

Food and Specialities
Huating does not have regionally or nationally famous food or specialities now. Huating used to make very famous straw knitted handcrafts such as braid or weed hat and bags. Now it has virtually disappeared.
There are several local dishes or food recipes that are well loved by the locals. One example is Caotou Tabing (草头塌饼-one kind of vegetable pancake made of sticky rice). However, it is not certain whether this is local to Huating or it comes from somewhere else. It is just delicious. Huating locals can make one kind of very delicious fish balls which are white and soft. It is very good for Huo Guo (火锅 hot pot). Huating people are also good at making pickled vegetables with sticky soybean source and almost anything including watermelon skin, cucumber and radish. You can buy a very special stink Tofu in the Huating and Liuhe Town, Taicang. It is one of the favorite food for local people. Some Huating locals used to make pickled garlic as a dish to go along with porridge. Now we seldom see it any more. Traditionally, Huating people, among others in the region would steam Chinese annual cake (年糕)to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Home would spend a night preparing it. However, in recent years, this tradition ceased for many homes because of the variety of other more attractive food for the people. Although it is a pity to see traditions disappear, it is an indication of improved life and quality.

Huating, among other localities in Shanghai, also produces something called "Lu Shu" as the locals name it or "Tian Gan" (甜杆) as people from North China call it. This plant is similar to sugar cane, but has medical benefits in terms of comforting the stomach and facilitating digestion. Almost all local people grow it in the margins of their farmland and it becomes one of the most popular local snack for the young and old alike.

Database Maintenance Options after Premier Support
A few years ago, Oracle consolidated different levels of support to the Standard Premier Support. Oracle stated that, as an Oracle customer, you can expect the best with Premier Support, our award-winning, next generation support program. Premier Support provides you with maintenance and support for your Oracle Database products for five years from their general availability date. You benefit from Major product and technology releases Technical support My Oracle Support Updates, fixes, security alerts, data fixes, and critical patch updates Tax, legal, and regulatory updates Upgrade scripts Certification with most new third-party products/versions Certification with most new Oracle products. But what happens after the five-year support period, what are the options for continuous database maintenance?
For example, Oracle RAC database 11.2.0.2 has be around for five years. The support for Oracle 11.2.0.2 exists until Oct 31, 2013. The last CPU and PSU will be available in October 2013, that's when it reaches its end-of-error-correction support date. The good news is, Oracle offers extended support license for 11.2.0.2 beyond the standard premier support. The extended support will provide CPU and PSU until Jan 31, 2018. CPUs and PSUs will keep getting generated every quarter until Jan 31, 2018. We can gain access to these patches if you are on for extended support. As usual, PSU includes the CPU within, i.e, PSU includes all the fixes of the CPU along with extra fixes. Also, it changes the 5th digit of the database version when applied.
After Oct 31, 2013, we still get technical support for 11.2.0.2 via My Oracle portal with our standard premier support contract, such as getting technical assistance and raising SRs, but we will not download new CUP and PSUs.
Therefore, after the standard premier support period, there are three options: you can apply the October 2013 CPU and then continue run the database as it is. However, without updated security patch, the management and the database staff hold liabilities for the potential security risk.
The second option is to upgrade database to 11.2.0.3 or even 12c as it is available now. There will be some work; you may need to apply PSU to update to higher version of 11.2.0.2 as rerequisites or preparation for upgrading to 11.2.0.3 or higher, according to Oracle Support. For upgrading from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3, consider that Oracle 11.2.0.3 is a full release, any pre-11.2 Oracle Clusterware (CRS) can be upgraded to 11.2.0.3 directly; also started from 11gR2, in-place patch set upgrade is not supported, any patch set must be installed into a new HOME (out-of-place upgrade) as explained in Oracle DOC [1363369.1].
The third option is to obtain extended support license for 11.2.0.2 for a while. With this option, you have another five years to stay on the current version, but it costs money for extended license. Also, if you stay too long on older version, you may miss bug fixes and new features for performance and functionalities.

The Customer Experience Landscape in 2019 and Beyond
By SimpliFlying
This is a chapter from the Conversocial report, "The Social Messaging Landscape in 2019 and Beyond" by Conversocial CEO and Co-Founder Joshua March. You can download this, and other Conversocial reports here.
In 2019, after a number of false starts, artificial intelligence will finally start to play center stage in customer service.
In previous years, there have been numerous attempts to implement artificial intelligence in customer service, but outside of some help around the edges—more advanced routing, basic sentiment detection, etc.—most prior attempts have failed to make any significant impact.
The majority of consumers who have a problem still end up phoning, and after clicking through an annoying IVR menu, get their problem resolved the old fashioned way: talking to a human.
With the advent of the internet and web chat systems, people thought something truly unique and revolutionary could finally happen.
A whole host of chatbot companies emerged, and people were excited for a fleeting moment in time.
Unfortunately, these bots (which for the most part were made up of simple, rule-based decision trees) ended up being utterly useless at managing the vast majority of conversations, especially with the huge long tail of customer service requests that most companies have to deal with.
Customers would quickly get frustrated, and then end up phoning anyway—negating the whole point.
When Facebook Messenger announced the launch of their bot platform in 2016, there was a resurgence of excitement—which then quickly fizzled as people realized that trying to build the same kind of chatbots in messaging didn't yield any better results. A crappy bot is a crappy bot, wherever you put it.
AI Reality
Over the last couple of years, there have been a number of new and promising refinements that are changing the way businesses apply AI within their customer service practices:
Improvements in the speed, cost and accessibility of machine learning.
The rise of asynchronous messaging that enables humans and bots to work together in the same conversations.
Improvements in voice recognition that are enabling voice assistants to play a meaningful role.
The Growth of Machine Learning
Just a few years ago, the most advanced machine learning techniques (think deep learning) were very expensive and difficult to implement at scale. But huge advancements in recent years, in both software and hardware, have made it much cheaper and faster to run this kind of technology.
Today, almost everything needed to implement machine learning is now available through a mix of open source platforms and the cloud.
As a result, it's become significantly easier to carry out "real" machine learning that can truly learn from your data. In 2019, this will start to enable significant improvements across the board—from bots that can have more natural conversations, to behind-the-scenes improvements that make agents' lives easier (like suggesting answers, and intelligent routing).
The Rise of Messaging: Enabling Bots + Humans to Work Together
In a fully real-time interaction akin to traditional web chat, it's very difficult to hand off from a bot to a human.
The customer is sitting there waiting for a real-time response, but it could take some time to connect to a human agent—and then they need to read the history of the conversation with the bot to get up to speed, prior to being able to dive in and help the customer.
Over the past year, there has been a massive rise in the use of social messaging channels for customer service.
Messaging is asynchronous, meaning that there doesn't need to be an instant response—waiting 10-15 minutes between responses is considered fast.
This means that bots can handle simple tasks (like checking on a flight status), with a smooth handoff to human agents to handle more complex issues.
This combination of bots and humans is really only successful in messaging, and will enable bots to gradually handle more and more tasks, until they're the majority of most service conversations.
In 2019, the use of messaging for customer service will take a big leap forward, as WhatsApp and Apple Business Chat have now both fully opened up their messaging platforms to businesses.
Voice Assistants and Customer Service
Over the last couple of years, improvements in voice recognition technology have finally made voice assistants useful. These assistants (whether Alexa in the home, or Siri on your phone) have truly become pervasive in the last 18 months.
In the coming year, we'll start to see companies build the first 'voice bots' that will help customers with basic service problems sourced directly from communicating with their voice assistants.
We'll also start to see significantly more advanced voice-based bots being used in the call center to improve IVRs (you can already purchase Alexa-based technology for the call center!). Voice assistants on the phone are also an easy and fast way to interact with a company over messaging channels (like Apple Business Chat)—asking Siri a question can lead straight to an answer from a bot in messaging.
Bots Will Replace Tier-1 Agents
Many contact centers are currently set up with tier-1 agents whose job is to find out a customer's problem and handle basic issues.
Often these agents are relatively low-skilled, following strict scripts, without the power to make real changes or concessions.
If they can't help the customer, they transfer the case to a higher tier agent who is more highly trained, and who has the ability to make big changes in order to make the customer happy.
By the end of 2019, a majority of service issues will be coming through messaging channels, and bots will be handling the 'tier-1' issues automatically.
Customer service agents will increasingly play the role of approver and escalation handler, focusing on helping customers instead of doing simple tasks.
Unlike the use of AI in other channels, customers will never be frustratingly stuck with a bot—they will always be just a message away from a human. Overall, this will provide a much better experience for consumers, who will grow to love the speed and accessibility of having bots fix their issues, with human support becoming just as easy as messaging a friend.
Investing in The Customer
In 2019 and beyond, it's no longer an option for brands not to invest in their customer care functions. With so many options for the consumer of today, extending efficient and quick experiences to your customer base is imperative.
Forward thinking brands who innovate and harness emerging technology such as automation, bots and voice, in line with platform changes and capabilities, will win the race for the digitally empowered customer.

Q&A with Avianca on how they managed a prolonged strike with their #YoNoParo campaign

Q: program.exe (C) has stopped working I am extremely new to C and managed to compile this program, but the exe stops working upon running. I'm really not sure what's wrong.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

#define TINY 1.0e-20    // A small number.

void ludcmp(float a[3][3], int n, int *indx, float *d);
void lubksb(float a[3][3], int n, int *indx, float b[]) ;

int main(){
    int i,n,*indx;
    float *b,d;
    float a[3][3] = {
        { 1.0, 2.0, 5.0},
        {-1.0, 2.0, 3.0},
        { 6.0, 0.0, 1.0}
    };

    ludcmp(a,n,indx,&d);
    lubksb(a,n,indx,b);

    for(i = 1; i = 3; i++) {
        printf("%.2f",b[i]);
    }

    getchar();
    return 0;
}

For those who were asking, the 2 functions ludcmp and lubksg are below. I got them from the numerical recipes textbook, but edited some lines to remove exclusive routines which I do not have. Specifically, they are the lines with malloc, printf, and free.
The original code came with all the loops starting with 1, which is why I also started my loop with 1. I have since changed all the loops to start from 0 instead, hopefully without introducing any new errors.
You can see the original code here:
https://github.com/saulwiggin/Numerical-Recipies-in-C/tree/master/Chapter2.Solution-of-Linear-Equations
Here is ludcmp:
void ludcmp(float a[3][3], int n, int *indx, float *d)
{
    int i, imax, j, k;
    float big, dum, sum, temp;
    float *vv;  // vv stores the implicit scaling of each row.

    vv = (float *) malloc(n * sizeof(float));

    *d=1.0;
    for (i=0;i<n;i++) {
        big=0.0;
        for (j=0;j<n;j++)
            if ((temp=fabs(a[i][j])) > big) big=temp;

        if (big == 0.0)
        {
            printf("Singular matrix in routine ludcmp");
            //free(vv);
        }

        // No nonzero largest element.
        vv[i] = 1.0 / big;       // Save the scaling.
    }

    // This is the loop over columns of Crout's method.
    for (j=0;j<n;j++) {
        for (i=0;i<j;i++) {
            sum=a[i][j];
            for (k=0;k<i;k++) sum -= a[i][k]*a[k][j];
            a[i][j]=sum;
        }

        // Initialize for the search for largest pivot element.
        big=0.0;
        for (i=j;i<=n;i++) {
            sum=a[i][j];
            for (k=0;k<j;k++)
                sum -= a[i][k]*a[k][j];
            a[i][j]=sum;
            if ( (dum=vv[i]*fabs(sum)) >= big) {
                big=dum;
                imax=i;
            }
        }
        if (j != imax) {
            for (k=0;k<n;k++) {
                dum=a[imax][k];
                a[imax][k]=a[j][k];
                a[j][k]=dum;
            }
            *d = -(*d);
            vv[imax]=vv[j];
        }
        indx[j]=imax;
        if (a[j][j] == 0.0) a[j][j]=TINY;
        if (j != n) {
            dum=1.0/(a[j][j]);
            for (i=j+1;i<n;i++) a[i][j] *= dum;
        }
    } // Go back for the next column in the reduction.

    free(vv);

}

And lubksb:
void lubksb(float a[3][3],int n,int *indx,float b[])

{
    int i,ii=0,ip,j;
    float sum;

    for (i=1;i<=n;i++) {
        ip=indx[i];
        sum=b[ip];
        b[ip]=b[i];
        if (ii)
            for (j=ii;j<=i-1;j++) sum -= a[i][j]*b[j];
        else if (sum) ii=i;
        b[i]=sum;
    }
    for (i=n;i>=1;i--) {
        sum=b[i];
        for (j=i+1;j<=n;j++) sum -= a[i][j]*b[j];
        b[i]=sum/a[i][i];
    }
}

A: This is a Two Dimensional Array and you are looping as it was just one. You should do something like:
 for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
    for(int j = 0; j < 3; ++j) {
        printf("%d %d: ", i+1, j+1);

    }
}

Is bad practice to define the size of the array explicit. Try to use a constant.
And as said in the comments by @Marged:

In C arrays starts in 0

A: b is never assigned to anything valid when it's declared:
float *b,d;

At best, it's NULL or pointing to an invalid memory address:
I don't know what the lubksb function does:
lubksb(a,n,indx,b);

But b is clearly an invalid parameter since you never assign to it before calling this function.
And with this statement:
for(i = 1; i = 3; i++) {
    printf("%.2f",b[i]);
}

As others have pointed out, array indices start at zero.  But there's no evidence that b has a length of three anyway.

KO is an agenda driven jerk with but one overriding motivation.....ENVY.
Did MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" pull the plug on a guest because she refused to call for Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly's firing?
The day before the election, O'Reilly interviewed Angela Alioto, former president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
The topic: The city's Proposition I - a resolution declaring that "the people of San Francisco oppose the federal government's use of public schools to recruit students for service in the military."
While O'Reilly was aghast over the proposition, Alioto complained the military was going into junior high school and "recruiting 12-year-olds."
On his radio show the next day, O'Reilly suggested that the military had no obligation to protect any locality that banned military recruitment, then joked that if he were president he'd announce:
"If al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to [al Qaeda] except San Francisco."
The comment enraged San Francisco officials, with several calling for O'Reilly's firing.
A source tells NewsMax that Olbermann's staff invited Alioto on his show Tuesday night, expecting that she would echo calls for O'Reilly's head.
A producer is said to have asked, "Now, you're calling for O'Reilly's firing, right?"
She told him that she wasn't - explaining that the Fox host was merely exercising his first amendment rights.
With that, Alioto's segment was canceled.
But it looks like Olbermann's staff got what they wanted after all, replacing Alioto with Chris Daly, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors,
You know, this is dangerous," Daly told Olbermann on the air. "Fox News and Westwood One need to take some accountability for this and terminate Bill O'Reilly's employment."

The fourth stop of Sabancı Spring, run by Sabancı Holding was Erciyes University. Students participating in the Sabancı Spring attended various workshops during the daytime, while in the evening they enjoyed a Mazhar-Fuat-Ozkan concert. The concert, with approximately 30,000 participants, witnessed joyful entertainment among the Erciyes University students.
Unlike other festivals organized in universities, Sabancı Spring is organized through the social networking site facebook by the students themselves. The activities daytime activities were determined based on the choices of students, resulting in a different, fun-filled day of curiosity, with activities such as the Chocolate Workshop, the Handicraft Workshop, the Design Workshop, the Music Workshop, Karaoke, Career Hunt, Pro Evolution Soccer (PES), Guitar Hero, and Nintendo Wii.
After Kayseri, Sabancı Spring will come to Sabancı University on May 23. At this last stop of Sabancı Spring, which is open and free to all university students, MFO will give a concert.

Dave McGary (sculptor) (1958-2013)
Tools of the Trade (study)
Bronze with Patina and Paint
27.50 x 0 in
'Tools of the Trade' is a unique addition to Dave McGary's outstanding repertoire of fine art. It depicts a war shirt. headdress, trade axe and a carbine rifle hanging on a wall. The buckskin shirt has been carefully tanned to a soft texture, and features beaded strips on the arms and bib. The feathered headdress marks the owner as a man of importance in the tribes. The eagle feathers were sacred. They were gathered ceremonially and have been earned for outstanding acts of courage and service to the tribe. The trade axe and 1870 Trapdoor Springfield carbine were both obtained from traders. The history of the western is long and colorful. It began in 1670 with the establishment of the Hudson Bay Company. It operated mainly to supply beaver pelts to Europe for the fashionable men's beaver hats. Emerging from this was the trade blanket, the most famous being the Hudson Bay version. The Springfield carbine was first manufactured in Springfield, Illinois for the Union troops. After the Civil War, the gun was modified from the military version to a civilian model and became popular in the western trade. The 180 Trapdoor model was a prized possession of the warrior and is decorated in his personal way.
"Amazing," "astounding," and "unbelievable detail," are some of the most frequent first words heard when people view renown artist Dave McGary's bronze sculptures of Native Americans. The works are masterpieces of anatomical and historic accuracy. They are also based upon real persons of American history. They are collected by individuals, corporations and institutions on a worldwide basis.
Dave McGary was raised on a cattle ranch in Wyoming. His art career began early in life. At 12, he sculpted in clay. At 16, he received a scholarship to spend a year in Italy studying the human form and the art of bronze casting. Shortly after his return to the U.S., Dave began working at a Santa Fe foundry, and began a friendship with a Sioux artist that contributed significantly to Dave's interest in sculpting the American Indian. Subsequently, Dave was adopted into the Ogala Sioux tribe and given the name Wambalee Tanka, "Big Eagle." But his adopted family on the reservation were more likely to refer to him as "Big Red Ears" because of his predilection for soaking up tales of their ancestors. A McGary bronze is a unique combination of American West and classic Renaissance art form of Italy.
Each work contains many elements of historical authenticity, emotion, artistic skill and bronze casting technology. This special combination has been recognized through the placement of works at a wide variety of governmental and corporate locations.
Among the permanent public installations is one that may be seen in Santa Fe's Grant Park. The 14-foot-high work depicts Don Pedro de Peralta and his surveyor as they lay out early Santa Fe. The artist has also been exhibited in a One-man Show at the Russell Senate Rotunda in Washington D.C.
Meyer Gallery is pleased to display the magnificent bronzes of renown sculptor Dave McGary.


Alan Smyth blogs on Mondays and also is the author of the book Prized Possession about his journey of life with his daughter, his love for her, and his desire to help other dads enjoy their daughters and step into their lives in meaningful ways. A while back I had his daughter Brittany step into the conversation as a guest blogger and several people were so touched by her that they wanted to hear more from her perspective. I was moved by her answer to the following question so thought I would share it with you.
The top three things that I appreciate about my dad are: his Godly heart, his unwavering commitment to my mom, and his consistent presence in my life. These three things have shaped me, and shown me what I am worth and what I deserve.
I appreciate my dad's Godly heart, because it has shown me what it looks like to turn to Jesus in every situation. From a very young age, he taught my brother and I the importance of living a life that glorified God. From memorizing weekly Bible verses, to singing fun worship songs in the car on the way to school, he has helped arm me with the spiritual tools needed to navigate this crazy world.
I also appreciate his relationship with my mom. My dad has undoubtedly set the standard for my future husband. I've been observing my parents' relationship for almost 25 years, and even in the moments of turmoil, I've never questioned my dad's love and commitment to my mom, and in turn, have never questioned his love and commitment to our family. Because of the example he has set, I have been in real-life situations with guys where when it came time for the DTR ("define the relationship"), I've literally told them, "Sorry this isn't going to work. I've seen the way my dad treats my mom over the last 25 years, and because of that, I know what I deserve and I know it is not unrealistic to expect." My dad has given me a reason to set the bar high, and to never settle for anything less.
Last, but certainly not least, I appreciate my dad's consistent presence in my life. He didn't just come around when it was convenient for him or when it was easy. He was always there. The good, the bad, and the ugly. He was in it for the long haul, and was not afraid to get his hands dirty. Consistency is so hard to come by in this unstable world, and it was my dad's persistent and intentional actions that showed me what unconditional love looks like.
Amazing! Powerful words from a daughter who was loved well by her father!

Home Innovation Interview With William Patry: Understanding How The Copyright Debate Got Twisted
Interview With William Patry: Understanding How The Copyright Debate Got Twisted
As you know, William Patry, who's devoted most of his professional life to copyright issues, is coming out with a book, Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars. I'll have a full review of the book in early September (though, the short version is "it's great"), but if you want a signed copy of the book (along with signed copies of four other books related to these issues) order soon, since the Techdirt Book Club is almost sold out.
In the meantime, I got a chance to ask Patry some questions about why he wrote the book, and his views on the state of copyright these days. Patry is a world-renowned expert on copyright law, and has written what's recognized as a definitive text on copyright law, Patry on Copyright (read a shot review of that work). Here's our interview. Enjoy:
What drove you to write Moral Panics & The Copyright Wars?
I wrote the book out of frustration; frustration over the way the language of demonization has been successfully used to frame copyright debates in order to achieve results that are anti-consumer and anti-innovation. The importance of framing is well known in political circles. John Kerry was brilliantly framed by Karl Rove in 2004. Barack Obama brilliantly avoided similar efforts in 2008.
Innovative companies have similarly been subjected to the Karl Rove treatment by content owners. We can laugh at some of the metaphoric language used by copyright owners, and think, rightly, that it reveals how out of touch some of them are with the way technology has changed consumer demand. But laughing at such language ignores that such characterizations are coldly strategic; they are not uttered off-the-cuff in the heat of an emotional moment. The strategy is to retain existing business models in the face of disruptive, new business models that respond better to consumer demand. Rather than engage in self-evaluation, rather than examine whether they should change in the face of changed circumstances, too often copyright owners attack change itself, by conjuring up what sociologists call moral panics, hence the title of the book.
You've spent many years in "the copyright business" in a variety of different roles in both the public and private sector. You've discussed in the past why you're a supporter of copyright — and yet, you are greatly concerned with what copyright has become. Can you explain when you first started to become concerned about the way copyright was being used/portrayed — and what brought you to that realization? Was there a moment when it occurred, or was it a gradual thing? Or do you feel that your position has remained unchanged?

In May Cory had to go out of town and I was FINALLY going to watch a sad movie and have the good cry my heart had been needing. I decided to watch The Light Between Oceans. It had been one of the most popular suggestions last time he went out of town. Have you ever seen The Light Between Oceans? Don't. Please don't. Not unless you want your heart to be sucked out of your chest and stomped on a thousand times by stupid Michael Fassbender*. Why couldn't he leave well enough alone? WHY, MICHAEL?!?!!?
I have truly never in my life felt so completely broken after a movie. I'm the girl whose heart couldn't stop pounding after Titanic and who ugly cried her way through reading The Fault In Our Stars on a plane and again when I saw it on screen. I like when movies make me feel but this movie went past feeling and sent me straight into a blubbering shock which led to numbness and the inability to eat ice cream. It was bad.
*I understand this is a movie and he was playing a character, but I'm taking this whole thing very personally. I haven't been able to look at a sunset without crying since May and I am 100% blaming Michael Fassbender.
This is so sad but also soooooo funny–I think you could go viral. Like Kristen Bell and sloths viral. You're hilarious!

Final day for mail-in ballot applications
by: Sydney Kostus

Updated: Nov 1, 2022 / 11:46 AM EDT
EYEWITNESS NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — The general election is only one week away and Tuesday marks the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot.
Many Pennsylvania voters are getting ready to cast their ballot on November 8 during the general election.
The midterm features several big races including, Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Doug Mastriano facing off for governor. And Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz for a U.S. Senate seat.
As Tuesday marks the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot, Eyewitness News spoke to a Penn State Political Science Professor about how it plays a factor in voting.
Fetterman leading Oz by 5 points in Pennsylvania Senate race: survey
"It's kind of an unusual year for us right cause it's a midterm, but it's our first midterm after the pandemic and so we don't really know what's going to happen with early voting or mail-in voting, in this kind of election," said Michael Berkman, the Director at PSU McCourtney Institute for Democracy.
PA's Acting Secretary, Leigh M. Chapman, says more than 1 million voters already requested a ballot by mail.
If you have already applied but didn't yet receive a mail-in ballot, some counties are encouraging voters to go to their county's elections office to cancel the missing mail-in and fill one out there.
If your ballot does arrive in your mailbox soon, fill it out, but drop it off in person.
Berkman tells Eyewitness News despite an uptick in voters taking the mail-in route, there still are many myths around it.
"Most ballots are not rejected, only a small number of ballots tend to be rejected. There are various rules that specify whether or not a ballot can be accepted. It has to be signed properly, it has to be dated properly, and there's controversies that will pop up," Berkman added.
He explains all midterm elections are important. But this one has taken on special significance following recent events, like the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
"Because of the events of January 6, because of the fact that so many people around the country and running for governor here, who have doubted the legitimacy of the 2020 election and what that might mean going forward," Berkman continued.

Pennsylvania's Acting Secretary, Leigh M. Chapman encourages voters with any concerns to call their county elections office. You can also call the state hotline at 1-877-VOTES-PA (1-877-868-3772).

Flight Officer (later Flight Lieutenant) D. S. Beauchamp was awarded the Dinstinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for his actions in February 1944 in rescuing five downed U.S. airmen.
While captaining a routine patrol, Beauchamp and his crew found the five surviving airmen approximately 160 kilometres south of Nauru. They were returning from a raid when they were forced to down their B-24 Liberator. Conditions were rough, with swells of about 9 metres, and the radio in Beauchamp's Catalina flying boat had become unserviceable. Unable to contact headquarters with the Catalina's position (which gave the rescue an element of risk as headquarters would not know their position should the Catalina go down) Flight Officer Beauchamp decided to pick up the downed airmen. The rescue was a success and Beauchamp received the DFC for placing the lives of the Liberator crew above his own.

The Manila Times 500
Home Opinion Editorial Place Sotto's 'Zip it' alongside Avelino's 'What are we in power for'?
Place Sotto's 'Zip it' alongside Avelino's 'What are we in power for'?
By The Manila Times
WHAT is it about the Senate presidency that makes a temporary possessor of the office insolent and boastful?
In January 1949, then Senate President Jose Avelino uttered arguably the most infamous words in Philippine political history: "What are we in power for?"
He uttered the words at a party caucus and dinner in Malacañan Palace, which was attended by the President of the Philippines and other political leaders.
"What are we in power for?" he is said to have told the gathering.
According to journalist Alan Robles, the evening was one of Philippine politics' most illuminating moments of honesty. Avelino harangued a stupefied Elpidio Quirino on "the morality of immorality."
Avelino said more:
"Why should we pretend to be saints when in reality we are not? We are not angels. When we die we will all go to hell. It is better to be in hell because in that place there are no investigations, no secretary of Justice, no secretary of the Interior to go after us."
Senator Avelino is long gone, but the doctrine he preached lives on and flourishes in the current Congress. Our current crop of lawmakers are just not as honest as Avelino.
The other day, in reaction to executive criticism of the ongoing and wayward Senate inquiry into the "ninja cops" issue, Senate President Vicente Sotto 3rd uttered words that rival in impudence Avelino's classic question.
Senator Sotto declared that the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee has the authority to conduct any hearing concerning any public official and "anything at all under the sun."
He declared: "Definitely, you are completely wrong when you say that because the events that have been unearthed transpired in 2013, it does not have anything to do with the drug war of the present administration…"
"The Blue Ribbon Committee can convene and call for an inquiry even without a resolution, a bill or a privilege speech or anything to that effect. The blue ribbon can even convene for an inquiry just to find out how much you bought your ball pen if you're a public official. That's how it is. So, for those who are not familiar with the Senate rules, my message is to zip it," he added.
In plain English, Senator Sotto told everyone who is critical of the Senate inquiry to "shut up."
Since the Times itself has taken issue on some points with the Senate's in quiry and the need for prudence, we also feel alluded to by Mr. Sotto's insolent statement. We are obligated to reply.
We think Senator Sotto has been carried away by a misguided view of the Senate and its power to investigate.
Mr. Sotto is wrong, first, on the grounds that he is proscribing freedom of speech and expression of the citizen and the media in regard to the Senate inquiry. He heedlessly tramples on a constitutional right of every citizen and sector in our society and government.
Secondly, Mr. Sotto here is unbelievably ignorant of who he is talking to. He is talking here to the people who are the true sovereign in our country. Even inside its citadel, the Senate is not sovereign; it is the people's Senate.
The entire Senate, the Senate president and the blue ribbon committee hold office in sufferance of the people's consent and toleration.
To conclude, the public can well reply to Mr. Sotto: "No, Sir, it is you who should zip it.''
''You should study lawmaking and policymaking, starting with the Constitution."
This newspaper will not zip it on Mr. Sotto's orders. We will watch and say our piece.

Turkey and Iran's Skin-Deep Friendship
The Importance Of Knowing Why God Raptured Out Enoch Before The Flood Of Noah Destroyed The Whole World
Vatican embraces China, Turkey, 'Palestine,' disses U.S.
By admin in False Prophet, The Church
Exclusive: Joseph Farah asks, 'What's up with this pope?'
Published: 15 hours ago
In an astonishing embrace of pure evil, the Vatican under Pope Francis, recently dumped two loyal Catholic bishops of the underground church in China, replacing them with state-approved picks, had cordial talks in Rome with Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a man who seeks to restore the Islamic caliphate with himself in charge, and denounced the notion of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
If all that is not bad enough, Francis' long-time Argentinian friend Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, just labeled China the best example of the church's social doctrine and a moral leader in defense of human dignity.
After a recent trip, Sorondo said: "I found an extraordinary China; what people do not know is that the central Chinese principle is 'work, work, work.' … As Paul said: 'He who does not work does not eat.' You do not have shantytowns; you do not have drugs; young people do not have drugs. There is a positive national consciousness – they want to show that they have changed; they already accept private property."
Continuing in his lavish praise of Chinese-style Communism, Sorondo said, "[The Chinese] seek the common good, subordinate things to the general good." China, he added, has "defended the dignity of the human person" and, in the area of climate change, is "assuming a moral leadership that others have abandoned."
Contrasting China with the U.S. under President Trump, the bishop asked, "How is it possible that oil multinationals manage Trump?"
This shocker comes after Pope Francis denounced the U.S. move to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. He recently met in Rome with Erdogan, an Islamic extremist who covertly supported ISIS before turning his back on the terrorist group. Top on their agenda, according to news reports, was the future status of Jerusalem.
What's up with this pope?
Cardinal Joseph Zen, the 86-year-old retired bishop of Hong Kong, wrote an open letter posted on Facebook, saying the Vatican is "selling out" struggling Catholics. The Vatican, he said, has deferred to a "fake" Chinese structure.
Steve Mosher, a Catholic with decades of experience in China, including being tossed in jail, asked: "Why should the Catholic Church participate in its own dissolution and destruction? Why would we do this?" He told EWTN's Raymond Arroyo that the Vatican's negotiating strategy is "simply negotiating the surrender of the underground church" to a false church created by China's atheists.
As to the recent comments by Sorondo, Catholic author Paul Kengor wrote: "That, of course, is a jaw-dropper. You couldn't find a radical leftie at the Huffington Post or even The Nation who would dare drop that whopper."
Kengor points out that China accounts for half the world's female suicides and still practices population control and forced abortion.
"Let's be candid about this, as this is a dire moment that demands frank talk," writes Kengor. "These are the thoughts of a person who is ideologically unhinged. Pope Francis has warned of the corrupting force of ideology; our always-candid pope condemns ideological 'fanatics.' Well, here's a bishop close to Francis whose ability to comprehend reality has been corrupted by ideology."
Kengor quotes George Neumayr, former editor of Catholic World Report, as telling him: "I wrote about the pope's capitulation to the Chinese Communists in my book, 'The Political Pope.' The most recent developments were telegraphed by the pope years ago. I also wrote about the bishop. … He has been a Vatican gateway for the (George) Soros crowd and very much reflects the pope's thinking. He is the one who set up the Bernie Sanders invite to the Vatican and made a point of telling everyone that Sanders was the only presidential candidate invited. … His academy is overflowing with socialists and communists."
Is the Vatican becoming part of a new axis of anti-U.S., anti-Israel and anti-liberty evil in the world?

Very good clean and comfortable accommodation in Albany.
Everything is nice, except the electrical kettle may need to change.
We stayed for 2 nights here. The motel is situated at a very convenient location enabling us to visit both town and all the interesting sights in the area. At night, the area was very quiet, so sleeping was easy, the unit was spotlessly clean and the kitchenette well supplied. If we wanted to eat out there were a couple of restaurants within walking distance and so many more a 5 minute drive away in the centre of town.
We booked the Harbourside Motel for just 1 night as we wanted to visit the Field of Light, Avenue of Honour display in Albany. We were expecting the usual standard of motel room but we were very pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, well laid out, light & airy & above all, felt & looked so clean. We were pleasantly surprised to find a small kitchenette containing a microwave, small fridge, electric frying pan, sufficient cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. Perfect! Our unit had a wonderful view from the patio doors out onto the lawned area at the rear of the property. There was also a small deck outside our room with a table and chairs. The shower room was clean & adequate in size. Our only suggestion for improvement here would be to add a shelf for placing toiletries on. The towels were lovely & soft & again, so, so, clean. Our bed was very comfortable too. We would definitely stay here again & recommend it as a place for Albany. Well done Trevor & Lynn.
We were just passing through. It had everything we needed. Bed, toilet, shower, toster, kettle, microwave, tv. Id definitely stay again. It was a bit out of town so it was lovely & quiet.
When we arrived very late, Mr Trevor was there waiting for us, showed us the room and guided our parking. We greatly appreciate the warm and friendly reception in the cold winter night. Motel room is spacious, cozily clean and have all the necessary facilities for a comfortable stay. Location of the motel is easy to find. Thank you, Mr Trevor.
had a last minute change to my itinerary and they kindly accepted my changes. excellent place to stay at!
Thankyou for your kind review .
The room is nice, very clean and well equipped. We had a great stay, the place is cozy and was beautiful.
Thanks Tanae for your kind review .
Highly recommended to tourist plan to visit Albany!!!
Our room was clean,comfortable, cosy & convenient. It suited our need perfectly. Would be happy to recommend.
Thanks Margaret for your review .
The motel is only a short drive from the town centre and each room is self contained with microwave, cutlery and crockery etc. Lynne and Trevor live on site and were friendly and helpful. There's a coinop laundry facility and gas bbq area. We'd happily return!
Lovely and nice motel with friendly staff. Free parking and wifi!

И́сру Хаг (, букв. «Привяжите к празднику!») относится ко дню, следующему за тремя паломническими праздниками в иудаизме, к которым относятся Песах, Шавуот и Суккот. Фраза «Исру хаг» ведёт своё происхождение из , в котором написано: Бог — Господь, и осиял нас; вяжите вервями жертву, ведите к рогам жертвенника. Согласно Талмуду, этот стих следует понимать назидательно как «Сколько бы любой человек ни ел и ни пил на Празднике, он будет рассматриваться Священным Писанием так (по отношению к съеденному и выпитому им), будто он построил алтарь и принёс на нём жертву». Бен-Иш Хай в своей респонсе еврейской общине, спросившей у него о причине соблюдения Исру Хага, процитировал рабби Исаака Лурия, сказавшего, что мы связываем религиозный праздник с последующим днём из-за оставшегося «света» праздника — другими словами, что святость праздника распространяется и на следующий будний день.

Our popular NiRunning live 'Injury Clinic', in association with Apex Clinic takes place on the first Thursday of each month on our facebook page (search NiRunning – Northern Ireland Running). During the 90 minute live chat, physiotherapy experts Apex Clinic answer questions put to them by our followers. Recently we have had numerous requests to have common questions put onto a page; so, based on this feedback, we will use this page to list the questions and answers from each 'Injury Clinic'.


Another title which should have been added to the GTW archives a very long time ago, after evidence of a C64 conversion was found in a manual of a released version of the game.
Q*Bert's Qubes was a sequel to the highly popular Q*Bert arcade, but never shared the same levels of success as its predecessor. It complicated things maybe a bit too much by having the ability to rotate cubes in multiple directions to make a line in a colour set by the level.
Parker Brothers no doubt felt the game would still sell on the strength of the original, and planned conversions to most popular home platforms. The C64 version would never surface though, possibly due to the games division going under before it could see release.
In 2017, Scott Stilphen got in touch to pass on some games to the GTW archive – one of which included a preserved disk from artist Robin Ballweg, who turns out was the artist on the C64 conversion. On one of her disks was an executable preview of the game, showing something mostly playable. This was being produced for James Wickstead Design Associates for Parker Brothers during 1984.
It is a wonderful finding of a game that we were never sure actually existed. Here it is, and it is mostly playable and shows a solid conversion taking place. Maybe some day a more complete version could be found?
