Making A Difference: Giving back, in so many ways
The Greater Marco Family YMCA has been about the business of offering high quality youth development programs for 41 years.
Making A Difference: Giving back, in so many ways The Greater Marco Family YMCA has been about the business of offering high quality youth development programs for 41 years.

The YMCA was where two of my sons, Scott and Todd, played in a youth basketball league back in the day, and where granddaughter Kristen took swim lessons when she was a year old. That's what I personally knew about the Y.
But now I know the rest of the story, and I'm amazed at what I've learned about the Y's purpose.
The Greater Marco Family YMCA has been about the business of offering high quality youth development programs for 41 years and providing what they like to call world-class member experiences with exercise classes and the like. That's what we'd expect them to do. But they've also been delivering vital services for senior citizens, enriching activities for families, and providing expert resources to address chronic diseases, according to CEO Cindy Love-Abounader.
"We are one of the primary human service organizations providing support for all ages and all income levels throughout southern Collier County including the City of Marco Island and surrounding areas," says Love-Abounader. "Our mission is to put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body," she stresses.
Love-Abounader tells us that "at the heart of the Marco YMCA's cause is strengthening our community with three specific funding priorities focused on youth development, healthy living and social responsibility."
Marco YMCA Board President-Elect, Paul Tateo, describes the "hidden work" taking place off the island. "We provide thousands of meals a year, hundreds of after school and summer camp programs for kids from needy families, clothing, reading assistance, and the list goes on," Tateo says.
The numbers are pretty impressive. The Marco Y touches the lives of more than 10,000 community members each year. Among other things, they annually teach more than 700 people water safety and swimming skills and hold more than 72 weekly classes that promote wellness and help fight chronic disease. But it's these numbers that surprise me. Each year, the Marco Y provides nearly $700,000 in financial aid for families in need, and each day they feed more than 400 disadvantaged people through their Togetherhood Bread Run.
Togetherhood is the Marco Y's trademark for volunteerism. The focus is on feeding people through those bread runs, mobile food pantries and senior luncheons which are much appreciated. "Our volunteers see joy on the faces of all that we encounter," says Togetherhood chair Allyson Richards. "And the thanks we receive often brings tears to our eyes," she reveals.
Some 2,000 children take part in the Y's after school programs, summer camps and early learning programs. The kids served attend two schools on the island, three schools in East Naples and Everglades City School.
Then there are specialized summer camp programs for children with chronic illnesses, and Hanna Heidenreich, a chronic disease specialist, conducts Y prevention and intervention programs for adults year around. "We offer Dragon Boat Paddling classes for breast cancer patients and survivors to improve overall strength," Heidenreich says. "And we have a Rock Steady Boxing class to help those with Parkinson's disease build core strength and balance," she adds.
And back to what most people have come to expect of the Y. Board member Chuck Thomas, who is 84 years old, credits his good health to his three or four visits to the Y each week. "If it wasn't for the Y, I'd probably have trouble walking or getting out of a chair. But thanks to the Y, I'm still doing triathlons and I bike regularly," he happily reports.
If you'd like to volunteer at the Y, or contribute financially to support their mission, visit www.marcoymca.org, send an email to commrelations@marcoy.org, or call 239-394-9622.

04.11.14 Long dusty road, dead carcass, the calechie pit and allergies!
Caliche (ka-lee'-chee, or sometimes klee'-chee) is a sedimentary rock, a hardened natural cement of calcium carbonate binding other materials such as gravel, sand, clay, and silt. It is found in aridisol and mollisol soil orders. Caliche occurs worldwide, generally in arid or semiarid regions, including in central and western Australia, in the Kalahari Desert, in the High Plains of the western USA, in the Sonoran Desert, and in Eastern Saudi Arabia Al-Hasa. Caliche is also known as hardpan, calcrete, kankar (in India), or duricrust. The term caliche is Spanish and is originally from the Latin calx, meaning lime. Caliche is generally light-colored, but can range from white to light pink to reddish-brown, depending on the impurities present. It generally occurs on or near the surface, but can be found in deeper subsoil deposits, as well. Layers vary from a few inches to feet thick, and multiple layers can exist in a single location.
This lesson was just brought to you courtesy of our experiences here on this unusual road bed material. As you'll remember when we first got here at MEW Ranch we traveled down 9 miles of road that was made up of this stuff. A lot of other roads on the ranch are made of this and some are made of just dirt. We learned from Mr. Bill that this is valuable material that is used by highway construction companies as a solid road bed before pouring on whatever the top coat is. Now that we know what it's called and how to spell it I thought I'd share!
When we first got here I took pictures of the residue on our bicycles and the truck windows to show ya'll.
Day before yesterday we went on an ATV ride and came across a giant pit in the ground that at first looked like a dried up pond but upon closer looking at it we realized it was a hole that Caliche had been dug from. Here's some pictures of the pit, the sun setting behind the pit, and us of course.
On one of our trips to town we came across this skeleton and head. Getting out and taking the pictures was very creepy and I never could figure out what it was.
Well that's today's "Day in the Desert" update!
I've been fighting what I originally thought was a cold our first few days here. It's gotten progressively worse regardless of what I took or did. Yesterday was the worst with respiratory issues, body aches, feeling worn out, bad cough and my voice got hoarser and hoarser and the only thing I can come up with is that I may be allergic to the live chickens or maybe some plant or pollen particular to Texas that was never covered in my allergy shots in Louisiana. I called my allergist this morning to get someone to look at my allergy test results from years ago to see if chicken feather or live chickens were on the list. I'm going to ask for a list of what I'm allergic to to be sent to me so that I'll have it for wherever we travel. The allergist's office is closed on Friday but I left a message hoping for an answer on Monday.
Roy went into town last night, bought me a bottle of Claritin and Benadryl and I started on it as soon as he got home. To help figure out if this is what's wrong with me Roy took care of the chickens this morning and I stayed in sleeping later. I'm not leaving the RV today and am taking my medicine. I feel much better this afternoon but more time will be needed to see if I stay feeling this way. If I am allergic to the chickens Roy will have to do our chicken duty each day and I can water the plants so it's not a deal breaker problem with us working here. I, for sure, can't stay inside the next 4 weeks, 24 hours a day, so I might be sporting a cool looking painters mask when I make outdoor visits!
My brilliantly talented hubby, Roy created the web ad below for the national company Workamper News. The ad went live on RVillage today! Workamper News is the website that connect RVers with jobs. Our job in Minnesota and this one in Texas as well as our RVillage job were all through Workamper News so we felt very privileged that Roy was asked to do this one. And it turned out great so they were quite happy!
Here's hoping ya'll have a great weekend – get outside and enjoy where you are!

Although some children's emotional or behavioral difficulties are most effectively addressed via Individual Psychotherapy (with your child), certain difficulties are more successfully explored and resolved through Parent Consultation. In other words, rather than meeting individually with your child (or in addition to doing so), your child's therapist may recommend meeting regularly with one or both parents to examine what factors might be inadvertently contributing to and/or perpetuating your child's difficulties. Through Parent Consultation, you and your child's therapist will work collaboratively to choose which empirically-supported techniques and strategies are best-suited to your family's needs and child's concerns. Whether pursued alone or thoughtfully integrated into your child's broader treatment plan, Parent Consultation can help reduce feelings of anxiety and/or depression, decrease power struggles, strengthen your child's adaptive behaviors and self-esteem, and foster a healthier parent-child relationship.

Film Screening 'Where Do We Go Now' Set for April 11, 2019
(Sturgeon Bay, WI)—April 3, 2019— The Miller Art Museum is pleased to present a free film screening as part of its Second Thursday Educational Program Series on Thursday, April 11 at 5:45pm. The film, titled "Where Do We Go Now," is a Lebanese dramatic comedy from 2011 that chronicles a story of women trying to defuse the tensions between Muslims and Christians in their small Lebanese village. It is presented in conjunction with the Museum's current exhibition, Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me), which opened on March 2, 2019.
"Where Do We Go Now" is set in a remote village in Lebanon, inhabited by both Muslims and Christians, and follows the inhabitants of the village as civil strife begins all around them. The women of the village engage in an elaborate plot to de-escalate the violence and protect their community. Directed by Nadine Labaki, "Where Do We Go Now" won the Toronto International Film Festival's People's Choice Award in 2011. Additionally, the film premiered during the 2011 Cannes Film Festival as part of Un Certain Regard and was selected to represent Lebanon for the 84th Academy Awards, but it did not make the final shortlist.
Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me) features the work of visual artists from the Middle East, North Africa, and of Arabic descent. The contemporary works include painting, photography, and drawing, all working in a narrative frame to tell stories of refuge, displacement, war, and contemporary visual culture. Many of the artists whose work is featured in the exhibition are residents of occupied areas or refugee camps.
"Where Do We Go Now" will be presented in the main gallery of the Miller Art Museum at 5:45pm on Thursday, April 11, 2019. The film screening is free and open to the public.
Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me) will be on view through Monday, April 15, 2019.
Miller Art Museum Hosts David Coury for Talk on Middle Eastern War Refugee Crisis
(Sturgeon Bay, WI)—February 28, 2019—The Miller Art Museum is excited to present a free exhibition talk on March 14, 2019 by David Coury as part of the museum's Second Thursday Educational Program. The talk, titled "East Meets West: Causes and Consequences of Middle Eastern Immigration" is presented in conjunction with the Museum's current exhibition, Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me), which opened on March 2, 2019. It will be presented at 6pm in the main gallery of the Miller Art Museum on March 14 and is free and open to the public.
David Coury is a Professor of Humanistic Studies and Global Studies and also Co-Director of the Center for Middle East Studies and Partnerships at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. He has published widely on contemporary German cinema as well as the contemporary novel. More recently he has been studying the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures as expressed in European literature and film. He has written extensively on the role globalization has played in shaping conceptions of identity as well as the so-called clash of cultures and civilizations in Europe. Coury is also the director of the Green Bay Film Society and serves on the board of Film Green Bay. "The UN High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that over 65 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes around the world," said Coury, "wars, famine, and climate change have contributed to this displacement, causing some of the greatest humanitarian crises of our times."
"Artists, writers and intellectuals have reflected on what immigration means for our world today, both politically and culturally," said Coury, "as well as the challenges and opportunities that it presents for us all."
New Exhibition Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me) Focuses on Middle Eastern War Refugees' Stories
(Sturgeon Bay, WI)—February 21, 2019—The Miller Art Museum is excited to announce the opening of a new exhibition Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me) on Saturday, March 2, 2019. The exhibition features the work of visual artists from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Arabic diaspora. The contemporary works include painting, photography, and drawing, all working in a narrative frame to tell stories of refuge, displacement, war, and contemporary visual culture. The visual arts exhibition will be accompanied by a theater production at Third Avenue Playhouse, drawing inspiration from the artwork.
Habiba Sheikh, a curator and performance artist originally from Lebabon, organized the exhibition. "I hope that through this exhibition, people realize that we all have so much in common," said Sheikh. The show's title, Mitli Mitlak (Like You, Like Me), alludes to the idea that "people are more alike than different, that we are all human," she continued. According to a report done by the UN in June 2018, there are at least 12.2 million children under 18, half of the refugees around the world, who are "cast adrift by political currents and war." Many of the artists whose work is featured in this exhibition are residents of occupied areas or refugee camps.
The artist's visual works are presented in a theatrical fashion, with a narrative arc corresponding to "acts" within the show. The works are also seen alongside Sheikh's poetic texts, using storytelling to express the experiences of those who are often voiceless, or demonized within the American mindset or press. "We are thrilled to partner with Habibah Sheikh in exhibiting these works," said Elizabeth Shoshany Anderson, curator of exhibitions and collections at the Miller Art Museum. "The vibrant, beautiful pieces tell stories that we don't often hear. It's different work than we're used to seeing, however stories of diaspora, displacement, and migration are relevant to Door County as a tourism-based economy operating on a largely seasonal basis. We have had a history of cultural exchange via shipping routes, as well as transient populations relevant to seasonal tourism and agricultural workers passing through this area for quite some time," continued Shoshany Anderson.
43rd Juried Annual Exhibition Award Winners Announced
(Sturgeon Bay, WI)—November 13, 2018—The Miller Art Museum is pleased to announce the award winners from the 43d Juried Annual Exhibition. Every year the Miller Art Museum invites artists 18 years of age and older to submit up to two works in two-dimensional media for consideration in this competitive exhibition. Artists from Door County and the surrounding five counties (Sheboygan, Brown, Kewaunee, Manitowoc, and Oconto) are invited to submit works.
Miller Recipient of Green Bay Packers Foundation Grant
(Sturgeon Bay, WI)—December 7, 2018—The Miller Art Museum in downtown Sturgeon Bay today announced that it is a recipient a 2018 Green Bay Packers Foundation grant. The Foundation on Wednesday awarded $800,000 to 230 civic and charitable groups throughout the state of Wisconsin. This grant will support the Community Mural Project, a public art project in the city of Sturgeon Bay.

Les élections municipales de 2020 à Paris visent à procéder au renouvellement du Conseil de Paris, des conseils d'arrondissement et des conseillers métropolitains représentant Paris à la métropole du Grand Paris. Le premier tour a lieu le  ; le second tour, initialement prévu le  suivant, est reporté au  en raison de la pandémie du coronavirus. Comme partout en France alors, ces élections sont marquées par un taux d'abstention record.

Mode de scrutin

À Paris, les élections municipales se tiennent par arrondissement afin d'élire les conseillers d'arrondissements et les conseillers de Paris. Ensuite, ceux-ci élisent le maire de l'arrondissement. Le maire de Paris est quant à lui élu par le Conseil de Paris.

Contexte
Après le vote de la loi sur le statut de Paris de 2017, Paris est découpé en 17 secteurs électoraux, se surimposant aux 20 arrondissements actuels. La commission des Lois de l'Assemblée nationale a prévu que la numérotation des secteurs soit identique à celle des arrondissements correspondants : elle passe donc directement du numéro 1 au numéro 5.

Rappel des résultats de 2014
Au second tour des élections municipales de 2014, les listes PS-PCF-PRG-GU-R&S d'Anne Hidalgo, soutenues par EÉLV, l'emportent sur les listes UMP-UDI-MoDem de Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet.

Composition du Conseil de Paris avant l'élection

Candidats

Gauche radicale
L'ancien footballeur international Vikash Dhorasoo et la conseillère de Paris France insoumise sortante Danielle Simonnet sont candidats « en binôme » pour le mouvement Décidons Paris, créé pour l'élection. Le mouvement présente le référendum d'initiative citoyenne comme sa  et propose de mettre fin à ce que Simonnet considère être une politique de « privatisation, gentrification et bétonisation » de la ville. Le , le mouvement est également rejoint par la Révolution écologique pour le vivant, fondé par Aymeric Caron, avec Lamya Essemlali qui devient tête de liste dans le . Le mouvement écologiste Pour une écologie populaire et sociale (PEPS) soutient également la démarche, avec notamment sa cofondatrice Élise Lowy, qui est candidate dans le  arrondissement. Laurent Sorel, membre d'Ensemble !, est colistier dans le  arrondissement.

Parti socialiste – Parti communiste français - Génération.s - Place publique
La maire socialiste sortante, Anne Hidalgo, est candidate à un second mandat  avec la plateforme de soutien  « Paris en commun » et le slogan « Dès demain, Paris en commun ».

Le Parti communiste français (PCF) désigne dans un premier temps Nicolas Bonnet-Oulaldj pour chef de file avant qu'il ne soit remplacé non sans difficulté par Ian Brossat, adjoint sortant à la mairie de Paris chargé du logement, qui présentera le projet « Le Pari-s de l'humain et de la planète » en septembre et se chargera de définir leur stratégie une fois les votes des adhérents réalisés. Après avoir réuni les forces de gauche lors du meeting du  en relation avec les mouvements sociaux de lutte contre la réforme des retraites, le PCF envisage de s'allier avec Paris en commun depuis qu'un accord a été trouvé et que le vote des adhérents est prévu entre le 18 et le . Génération.s et Place publique ont déjà décidé de se rallier à la maire sortante.

La présidente du groupe LRI au Conseil de Paris, Marie-Claire Carrère-Gée, est également candidate.

Celui-ci, énarque et fondateur du Parti des libertés, est à l'origine d'une plateforme, Aimer Paris, dont le comité de soutien est présidé par Charles Beigbeder.

"Unsolved Mysteries" in name only
The best thing about the reboot of Unsolved Mysteries, which debuted on Netflix yesterday, is the updated version of the iconic theme song. As the title appears on the screen, you can even see a shadowy outline of the late, great Robert Stack, who hosted the original program for several seasons on NBC.
After that, it's basically just another crime documentary. A well-made crime documentary, but it's just not the same as the series that captivated us during the eighties. Admittedly it's hard to imagine a suitable replacement for Stack, but a host and narrator would make the stories move faster. (Dennis Farina, who hosted a short-lived revival, is sadly also no longer with us.)
The biggest problem is that each episode deals with only one case at a time. The disappearance and questionable "suicide" of Baltimore resident Rey Rivera, covered in episode one, is undeniably interesting. (Try watching it and tell me you don't think his best friend/business partner has something to hide.)
But the original series treated us to three or four cases – usually an unsolved murder, a disappearance, and for dessert, an "unexplained" segment about UFOs or hauntings – per hour. If one story didn't grab you, at least there was a good chance something more interesting was on its way. Considering how TV has ruined our attention spans just like it ruined our ability to…um, uh, oh well, it's a bit surprising they didn't stick to the old formula, with more mysteries packed into the show's running time.
This IndieWire review gets it pretty much exactly right:
…This new version of "Unsolved Mysteries" certainly tries to pay tribute to the original series, starting with a shadow of Stack accompanying the opening credits. But there's something off about this one, akin to when you go to visit your favorite restaurant now under new management. The food and decor is the same, but the fundamental reason for its existence — the memories — have been washed away.
The 12-episode series has each 45-50 minute episode focus on one individual mystery. Almost immediately, this is frustrating because numerous shows, like "Forensic Files" and this new series' closest competitor, "Dateline," already do this. This isn't to say the stories aren't interesting; they are just as compelling as the original series, particularly the story of missing man/alleged murderer Xavier DuPont de Ligonnes or the disappearance of Liehnia Chapin. But of the six episodes provided for review, all but one focus on a missing or murdered person, the lone hold-out being an examination of a series of UFO sightings in the Berkshires in 1969. This can easily cause burnout to set in, with what feels like the same story being told in slightly different ways.
What made "Unsolved" so unique from "America's Most Wanted" or "Dateline" was that everything unexplained was up for grabs. Elongating episodes only works if there is a story worth fitting into nearly an hour, and of course murder and missing persons cases often can. But it will be hard to see the series tackle something like lost loves to fit in an hour. Conversely, some cases suffer from filler, with the camera capturing moody shots of centipedes walking through a wooded floor or, in the pilot episode focused on the death of Rey Rivera, taking two minutes to detail the unrelated significance of the location he died in. There's a greater sense of tightness and cohesion — as well as being able to pack in more stories — with a shorter runtime.
The lack of a host also leads to a feeling of repetition. Stack and Farina's narration not only kept things moving, but were able to fill in blanks that didn't need to be prodded from the subjects. Here, the emphasis is on having the family members lay out the story in its entirety, and what isn't verbally explicated is presented in on-screen timelines. This become laughable at times because a subject will say a person has been missing X amount of days, only for the timeline to spell out that same number of days. (The use of a host also negates the need for excess graphics that aren't accessible to blind viewers.)
I'm still glad they brought it back, and I will certainly check out all six episodes. But if there's a season two, here's hoping the producers (including Stranger Things' Shawn Levy) hear out fans of the original to go back to what worked so well.

One thought on ""Unsolved Mysteries" in name only"
My son tells me (most of my news originates either from my kids or from the news sources I directly or indirectly found via your blog – lol 😀 ) that Netflix also lends hard copies of old movies and shows. It might be worth checking out. I haven't watched the new Unsolved yet since my son and I are still finishing Money Heist (just to get us out of our usual crime-and-murder show routine once in awhile! 🙂 but was hoping it would be something like its previous versions. There are not that many really good crime documentaries. Unfortunately they don't have some of the older movies I would like to re-watch, such as Gacy. That was a good example of how some criminals get away with it right under everyone's noses for a very long time under the guise of normalcy. People don't always seem to realize that serious crimes may often be committed by someone who is good at appearing very normal.
One non-murder crime movie that I enjoyed enough to re-watch was Catch Me If You Can.

Opinion: What Jamie Lee Curtis is right about 'nepo babies'
Editor's note: Dean Obeidallah, a former attorney, is the host of SiriusXM radio's daily program "The Dean Obeidallah Show." Follow him @[email protected] The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. See more opinions on CNN.
It seems that Merriam-Webster got it wrong with its recent choice for 2022's "Word of the Year." Instead of choosing the word "gaslighting," it should have chosen "nepo babies"—at least based on the passionate debate the term has sparked over the past week.
What is a "nepo baby", some of you are no doubt asking? "Nepo" is short for nepotism, and thus a "nepo baby" refers to a child of famous parents who benefit from family connections in entertainment or other related fields.
While nepotism in showbiz is hardly breaking news, a New York Magazine cover story this week declared 2022 to be "The Year of the Nepo Baby." The magazine documented what appears to be an endless list of offspring of famous parents, including "Stranger Things" co-star Maya Hawke, the daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, Zoë Kravitz, daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet — and many more .
This article led to discussions about the privilege that comes with having connections in showbiz – and what that says about talent, and the supposedly meritocratic society we live in. Some have taken to defending 'nepo babies', while others have lambasted them for their privilege.
While many celebrities have weighed in on their experiences, it was actress Jamie Lee Curtis' response on Instagram Friday that summed up what it means to be a "nepo baby" — at least based on what I've seen in the entertainment industry as producer, comedian and staff member of "Saturday Night Live" for eight seasons.
Curtis first described herself in her post as "OG Nepo Baby," given that she is the daughter of Hollywood royalty Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis. The award-winning actress then candidly admitted that there were indeed perks to being the daughter of two film stars when she first began her acting career at the age of 19, writing: "I don't pretend there aren't any" perks to being "associated" with fame.
In an interview with the New Yorker in 2019, Curtis acknowledged her advantage when she auditioned for a role in the movie "Halloween." She said: "I'm never going to pretend like I just made it on my own, like I'm just a little girl from nowhere who gets it. Obviously I had a leg up."
However, she made it clear on Instagram that "
Curtis is 100% correct on both counts. No one can deny that if your parents are famous actors and you want to work in that field, they have the connections and the clout to help. And yes, there is some truth to what Fran Leibowitz wrote in a 1997 issue of Vanity Fair about nepotism in the entertainment industry, which was quoted in the New York Magazine article: "Getting in the door is pretty much the whole game."
I've helped produce projects that involved casting actors, and you'd be surprised how many very talented, unknown actors are out there. To be blunt, given a situation where a producer has several very good actors to choose from for a visible role, they're more likely to lean toward casting the child of a famous parent because it might get some press and buzz.
But from what I've seen, you still have to be very talented in your own right. For example, New York Magazine notes that two out of three people currently creating digital shorts for "Saturday Night Live" are sons of "SNL" producers. (Full disclosure: I worked with both of these kids' parents on "SNL.") I can assure you that if these kids weren't talented and couldn't deliver the funny, they'd be gone no matter who their father is. That's the cruel world of "SNL" and most television comedy shows — especially late-night talk shows.
On "SNL," I often worked with the children of very famous parents (I'm talking famous names.) Everyone—without exception—worked diligently at their jobs, perhaps understanding that if they slacked off, it would tarnish their family's name or because they wanted to prove they earned the job on their own—or a combination of both.
But let's be blunt: It's not just a problem in showbiz. There are plenty of children who follow in their parents' footsteps in, among other things, politics, business and art. In any competitive industry out there, having parents who are successful in that field can give you a leg up. In fact, Eve Hewson, one of the "nepo babies" in the New York Magazine article as the daughter of U2 frontman Bono, tweeted that the president of Vox Media, the magazine's parent company, is herself a "nepo baby" given that her father had bought the publication in 2004.
I am grateful for the parents I have, but like others, when I discuss "nepo babies" I wonder how my life would be different if my parents were famous actors or comedians. From what I've seen, there are both benefits – and burdens – that come with the territory. Although I have to admit, if my parents were Bruce Springsteen and Meryl Streep – both born in my home state of New Jersey – I'd happily be their 'nepo baby'.

How to Watch SpaceX Re-Launch a Used Dragon Spacecraft Today
NASA/SpaceX
Cassie Kelly
At this point, SpaceX's amazing achievements are becoming ordinary. Today, the company will make history again when it launches a used Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket from the Kennedy Space Center at 5:55 Eastern time.
Update at 5:40 p.m.: The launch has been delayed due to lightning. SpaceX is rescheduling for Saturday, June 3 at 5:07 p.m. Eastern.
Today's launch is the 11th Cargo Resupply mission and the 100th launch from Complex 39A at Kennedy. The Dragon will carry with it 6,000 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station, including the NICER instrument, which will detect neutron stars using an X-ray spectrometer.
So far, all systems are go with a great forecast and no technical failures to report. Live coverage of the event will begin at 5:15 Eastern time and can be seen on Facebook Live or NASA TV.
SpaceX has been recovering various pieces and parts of its Falcon launches since the first successful landing of a first-stage booster on a droneship in the Atlantic on April 8, 2016.
Saving the pieces saves SpaceX a lot of money. Every Falcon 9 costs about $62 million total and the first-stage booster is about $46.5 million. The Dragon Spacecraft being used today was salvaged from the CRS-4 mission in 2014.
By demonstrating that they can reuse the first-stage booster and the Dragon capsule, SpaceX will prove they are ready to save the second-stage booster. Of course, all of this is in an effort to make space travel efficient, safe, and inexpensive so that one day, we may fly these vessels to Mars where humans can start an entirely new civilization.

A Good Night for the Democrats; The Dems pick up one seat in the Assembly, while the Republicans lose all key races, despite Christie's campaigning
While it wasn't such a good night for being a Democrat in Middletown or a candidate for state office in Monmouth County, Democrats did increase their majorities in Trenton and a consolidation vote between two Princeton towns to merge into one municipality to save on property taxes is looked at as an anomaly rather than the next wave of the future as many would hope for.
NJspotlight has a pretty good wrap up of last nights events worth reading today:
Despite tough, nasty contests in a few races and more than $25 million spent, very little changed in the New Jersey legislature on election night. The Democrats gained one seat in the Assembly and still control both legislative houses. The Republicans lost all the key races that they targeted and where Gov. Chris Christie campaigned.
In the most hotly contested races, Democratic incumbents James Whelan in South Jersey's 2nd District and Robert Gordon in North Jersey's 38th won by relatively comfortable margins.
And Richard Codey, the incumbent Democratic senator in the 27th, prevailed. Some had predicted he would run into trouble given that redistricting had shifted several Morris County municipalities into his home territory.
The Democrats also picked up one Assembly seat in the 4th.
Two ballot questions, one statewide and one local, also won.
About two-thirds of New Jersey voters approved the one question on the ballot: to allow sports betting in New Jersey should Congress give other states besides the four already approved the OK at a future date. And voters in Princeton and Princeton Township also approved a momentous merger question. It would be the first time in more than half a century that two New Jersey communities of any real size agreed to merge.
Democrats gloated over the gain of one Assembly seat.
"Chris Christie is all coat and no tail," proclaimed John Wisniewski, chairman of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee and an Assemblyman, to cheering crowds at the Bergen County Democrats' celebration. "Chris Christie kept saying if he didn't lose any seats, this would be an historic election for Republicans. Well, there's one more Democrat going to Trenton."
Christie tried to set low expectations for the Republicans' chances, saying governors almost always lose seats in midterm elections.
Ben Dworkin, director of the Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics at Rider University, said the circumstances this year were vastly different.
"It is a very disappointing night for Gov. Christie," said Dworkin, adding the GOP should have gained as many as six seats. "He outraised the Democrats by millions of dollars. He put his high approval rating and his personal reputation on the line by going on network television in New York and Philadelphia. And in the end, he wasn't able to even keep the status quo in the legislature, much less win the several seats that Republicans might have expected given his efforts."
When the state legislative seats top the ballot, turnout in New Jersey's midterm elections is notoriously low. In 2007, the last time the Senate led the ballot, 32 percent of voters turned out statewide. Most counties reported voter turnout hovering between 20 and 30 percent — Cape May had a high of 38 percent — despite a beautifully warm, sunny day.
Although most voters don't see these races as important, the stakes were high.
With a 24-16 majority in the Senate, the Democrats went into the night only three seats shy of a veto-proof majority in the upper house. They needed those 27 votes back in July when they sought to override Gov. Chris Christie's line-item vetoes of more than a dozen spending items cut from the state budget. They didn't think that would happen and, at least, defended all their seats.
However, if the Republicans could pick up five seats, a scenario most saw as unlikely, they would give Christie at least one house to help advance his agenda.

Nepentes - growing and care
Varieties of nepentes
Necessary conditions for the growth of nepentes in an apartment or office
Reproduction of nepentes at home
Diseases and pests of nepentes
Growing an exotic plant nepentes at home, description, types, recommendations for the choice of soil, watering. Fight against possible diseases and pests. Nepenthes. The place of growth is tropical areas of Asia, it also includes the island territories of Madagascar, Seychelles, Philippines, New Guinea, Barneo and Sumatra. It is sometimes called the pitcher. The legends of Greece could also serve in this, the plant of oblivion bore the name of nepenthus. The variety has 72 species and some more bred plants, up to 120 in total. Nepentes is a predator or flycatcher, but even small birds can suffer from it.
Nepentes is essentially a liana that grows in the form of a shrub or semi-shrub. Nepentes is very fond of humidity and warmth, which is provided by places of natural growth. With thin and flexible or slightly hardened stems, nepentes begins to cling to protrusions in the bark or thick branches of nearby trees and thus creeps out to a very decent height. The plant tries to raise its inflorescences in the form of tassels or panicles to the rays of light. It is clear that nepentes lives as a parasitic plant on its host.
The leaf plates grow in strict order. They are large in size, on which the middle vein and a seemingly protruding apex are clearly visible. In addition to the usual leaf plates, nepentes has another type of leaves, which in appearance resemble an elongated bag or jug. The petiole of such leaves has a flat and wide part below, right at the stem. This part carries on photosynthetic functions. From the petiole, there is further transformation into a long and thin shoot in the form of a thread, which is attached to the base. At the very end of the thread, from a leaf blade, a jug will develop, which can be mistaken for a strange-looking flower.
These unusual jug leaves have a smooth brown edge. From above, the curved petal resembles a "lid" in a vessel. This sheet plate keeps the trapped "victim" in the middle and protects the jug from unnecessary objects or forest debris falling into it. A pair of toothed wings are on the outside of the trap and point from top to bottom. The jug leaf itself rests on these wings and they also direct the curious insects. On the inner edge, the jug has special cells that exude an odorous liquid. Its aroma lures insects and they get stuck in the sweet syrup of nepentes. The syrup is a mixture of rainwater, nectar and a digestive fluid called nepentesine. Usually, the digestion process can take up to 8 hours. Only the chitin shell remains from insects. The sap begins to digest the prey, and the predator plant receives nutrients in the liquid. Each jug is kept on the plant for a very long time and the "flowering" process can last up to 8 months.
The nepentes also have real flowers, which are dioecious - each plant grows a flower of only one sex. The flower has a symmetrical arrangement of its elongated parts, but it has no petals. On thick pedicels there are sepals of three, sometimes four in the form of tiles. The nepentes fruit looks like a tough box, which is divided into parts by thin green septa. On each such partition, seeds are attached in rows, which have in themselves a special tissue with nutrients and a small embryo that looks like a small upright barrel.
Winged nepentes (Nepenthes alata). This plant is most of all chosen by flower growers for growing in apartment conditions and this species does not have such high demands for the amount of moisture in the environment.It grows as a shrub and some shoots reach up to 2 m in height. It is distinguished by elongated large leaf plates of dark green color, on which a vein in the middle is clearly visible. The jug leaves are also impressive in size and are painted in protective and reddish tones. The flowers are small and completely inconspicuous.
Nepentes madagascar (Nepenthes madagascariensis). A plant with an evergreen crown, stretches up to 1.5 m in height. The sheet plates are elongated. Quite long, up to a quarter of a meter, jug leaves are beautifully colored with crimson shades. But this plant is not for home care, it must be kept in greenhouse rooms.
Nepentes Raflesi (Nepenthes rafflesiana). The plant has rather large elongated leaves, about half a meter in length and 10 cm in width. The jugs are not large, only 10–20 cm, and the color scheme of the green background is painted with reddish stripes.
Nepentes hairy (Nepenthes villosa) has small jug leaves, up to 20 cm in length. The color of the jug and the top "lid" is green-reddish. The bezel is embossed, bright green.
Nepentes truncated (Nepenthes truncata) is distinguished by huge pitcher leaves, they can grow up to half a meter long.
Nepentes double spur (Nepenthes bicalcarata) is native to the island of Barneo. He loves both swampy areas and highlands. The leaf plates are quite long, almost 60 cm, and the "traps" are distinguished by the smallest size, their length is no more than 10 cm.
Nepentes white-bordered (Nepenthes albomarginata). Leaf jugs are up to 15 cm long and are distinguished by the most delicate colors: cream and pale pink.
Nepentes Pervilla (Nepenthes pervillei). The main habitat is the Seychelles. The difference from other types is that the jugs are of the widest diameter. The color of these "traps" is deep red.
Nepentes pitched (Nepenthes rajah). The place of growth of the Kanabalu mountain ranges on the island of Barneo. Differs in so large "traps" that it is able to assimilate even small rodents or birds.
Any of the nepentes family looks best in hanging flowerpots or in pots, so that its jug-leaves can hang down decoratively and freely. In a home environment, nepentes grows up to 5 years with proper care.
Since nepentes naturally grows in the apical leaf mass of other trees, it is not surprising that this plant likes bright diffused lighting. For this, windows with sunrise and sunset rays of the sun are better suited. If you put it on a window that faces south, you will have to organize shading for nepentes with light curtains or gauze. On windows facing north, nepentes grows poorly and additional lighting with special lamps will be needed. The length of daylight hours for a comfortable growth of nepentes should be at least 16 hours. It is not recommended to rotate the pot with this plant, so you need to make a note on the side of the flowerpot, which is turned towards the light and focus on it. If this is not foreseen, then nepentes may stop growing and will not grow new jugs. You will have to wait at least two months until the nepentes gets used to the new location. The flower is very afraid of drafts, but loves to air it indoors.
Content temperature
Since nepentes naturally grows in warm areas with high moisture content and mountain ranges, the temperature must be selected in accordance with the type of plant. Nepentes, which grows in lowlands and marshy areas in the warm season, prefers temperatures no higher than 26 degrees, and with a cold snap it should not drop below 16, but more comfortable 18–20 degrees. Those varieties that prefer rocky areas like to grow at temperatures up to 20 degrees in summer, and in winter it is kept within 12-15 degrees. If the temperature for the mountain species of nepentes does not fall within the permissible limits for a long time, the plant will begin to hurt a lot. Watering nepentes. The plant loves a moist substrate, but does not tolerate waterlogging. He also cannot withstand dry soil for a long time. Nepentes requires a high moisture content in the room.Water for irrigation must be defended for two days or softened with peat. It is most useful to use water after rain or thawed water. Water for irrigation should be at room temperature. During hot months, nepentes needs to be moistened every two days, but when the temperature becomes low (16 degrees), then watering is reduced to once a week, in small portions. To ensure proper moisture, you can put a cup of water next to the plant and when it evaporates, it will saturate the air with moisture. You can also install a pot of nepentes in a wider pan, fill it with expanded clay or moss and keep a sufficient amount of moisture there.
It is best to spray nepentes at the time of growth activation, as soon as the jug leaves appear, spraying must be stopped, otherwise the drops of water will provoke their decay. Nepentes transplant. Since nepentes has many aerial roots, an appropriate soil is needed. You can use ready-made commercial earth mixtures for orchids. The pot is best chosen from plastic and completely transparent with holes for draining water. At the bottom, it is imperative to lay out a good layer of expanded clay or crushed foam. Gently place the nepentes root system in a pot and sprinkle thoroughly with orch substrate. You can place sphagnum moss on top, This will help keep moisture for the roots of nepentes longer, but not let it stagnate.
The transplant is usually performed in the spring when absolutely necessary. But if the plant has grown jugs, the pot has not become too small for the roots and the plant does not show any problems, then it is better not to disturb the nepentes. It is advisable to take a pot with a diameter of 14 cm, and when transplanting, take only a slightly larger one. It is better to transplant by the transshipment method, that is, try not to damage the root system and not shake off the old substrate.
Soil for planting nepentes
If it is possible to compose the soil mixture yourself, then this should be done using the following components in the ratio (3: 2: 1):
leafy land;
peat land;
coarse sand.
You can also add detailed charcoal and sphagnum moss to the composition. For the substrate, sometimes 2 parts of high-moor peat, 2 parts of perlite (or agroperlite) and 1 part of vermiculite are taken. The composition should be of low acidity. For nepentes, you cannot use only peat, as it will greatly increase the acidity.
Fertilizers nepentes
The plant does not need active fertilizing and root application of fertilizers can cause a toxic burn, therefore it is best to use a leaf one - they spray the leaves with a spray bottle with a good fine spray. You can fertilize with fertilizing for orchids, but it is better to reduce the dosage by 3-5 times. Fertilizer liquid should include iron chelate, boron, copper, which will be well received by nepentes. If there is no fertilizer for orchids, then you can use simple flower ones, but change the dosage to less than 3 times. During the growth of shoots and flowers, fertilizing is applied once every 3 weeks. But if you overfeed the nepentes with fertilizers too much, then the water lily leaves may not grow at all. Some growers also feed the jugs naturally, but partially and only once a month. To do this, use dead insects (sometimes pieces of cottage cheese or meat). At this time, no chemical additives are added.
Propagated by nepentes seeds or cuttings. Since, with growth, the shoots of nepentes are too elongated upward and it will need special supports, otherwise the jug leaves will not be able to grow enough. At the same time, the nepentes pot begins to occupy a large territory. Therefore, cuttings are cut from these tops of shoots or stems that have grown overgrown. The time for this is chosen at the end of winter or the first months of spring. Cutting is done with a sharpened knife or blade, which must be disinfected.The stalk is cut obliquely below the leaf plate. The stalk must have at least 3 leaf plates, they are cut in half. If there is a small leaf at the very top, then it is not touched. Cuttings must be placed in a growth stimulant solution for half an hour.
It is best to root the cutting in sphagnum moss. To do this, a cut of the cutting is wrapped with moss fibers and lightly fixed with a thread or wire, placed in a prepared pot. It can also be planted immediately in light soil, in which the cuttings will be at a depth of 0.5 cm. The cuttings can be sprayed with an anti-rot agent, for example, a foundation.
The pot is covered with a bag and mini-greenhouses are arranged. Cuttings are hidden from the bright sun. When rooting, the temperature is maintained at almost 30 degrees, and the cuttings are often sprayed so that the humidity is very high (up to 90%). After half a month, it is recommended to spray the cuttings with a growth stimulator (Zircon type). 2-3 drops are diluted in a glass of distilled water.
The rooting time can last up to a month and a half, but after 10 days you can understand whether the process is successful, the color of the cuttings should not lose brightness. If all rooting is going on, then jugs may appear on the first leaves. During rooting, it is also advisable not to touch the pot or twirl it. A transplant into a new pot can be done only after a year has passed, so as not to damage the young roots. After the second year of growth, the plant is usually stimulated to grow new jugs by cutting over 5-6 leaves.
Very rarely, nepentes are propagated by seed. You need to make sure that the seeds are fresh. The mixture for planting is made on the basis of sphagnum moss and coarse sand. Seed germination can last for two months. Young shoots are then planted in a mixture of identical parts of sphagnum, leafy soil and fine sand. The temperature for the seedlings is maintained within the range of 20-25 degrees, they are constantly sprayed to create the necessary humidity.
The main problems of nepentes are aphids and mealybugs.
When aphids are affected, the leaves begin to turn yellow, and the flowers with buds do not grow or bloom. Aphid secretions can be seen as a sticky bloom on young and old leaf blades. Washing the leaves of the plant with laundry soap, which is diluted in water, will help - 20 grams per liter of water.
When a mealy worm is affected, nepentes begins to greatly inhibit growth, since the pest feeds on plant juices and the defeat can be determined by the secretions of a sugary species. The lesion is stimulated by increased moisture in the root system. The best remedy in the fight against drying of the substrate and roots. It is also necessary to often wipe the leaf plates of the plant and remove dried and dead ones.
Both parasites with their secretions can provoke the formation of sooty fungi.
Chlorosis of leaves with a lack of iron or growing nepentes in a substrate with a high content of peat can also be a problem.

Un espectro es una condición que no se limita a un conjunto específico de valores, sino que puede variar, sin pasos, a través de un continuo. La palabra se utilizó por primera vez científicamente en óptica para describir el arco iris de colores en luz visible después de pasar a través de un prisma. A medida que avanzaba la comprensión científica de la luz, llegó a aplicarse a todo el espectro electromagnético.

Desde entonces, Spectrum se ha aplicado por analogía a temas fuera de la óptica. Por lo tanto, uno podría hablar sobre el "espectro de opinión política", o el "espectro de actividad" de una droga, o el "espectro autista". En estos usos, los valores dentro de un espectro pueden no estar asociados con números o definiciones cuantificables con precisión. Tales usos implican una amplia gama de condiciones o comportamientos agrupados y estudiados bajo un solo título para facilitar la discusión. Los usos no científicos del término espectro a veces son engañosos. Por ejemplo, un solo espectro de opinión política de izquierda a derecha no captura la gama completa de creencias políticas de las personas. Los politólogos usan una variedad de sistemas biaxiales y multiaxiales para caracterizar con mayor precisión la opinión política.

En la mayoría de los usos modernos del espectro hay un tema unificador entre los extremos en cada extremo. Esto no siempre fue cierto en el uso anterior.

Etimología
En latín, spectrum significa "imagen" o "aparición", incluido el significado "espectro". La evidencia espectral es un testimonio de lo que hicieron los espectros de personas que no están presentes físicamente, o evidencia de oídas sobre lo que dijeron los fantasmas o las apariciones de Satanás. Fue utilizado para condenar a varias personas de brujería en Salem, Massachusetts a fines del siglo XVII. La palabra "espectro" [Spektrum] fue utilizada estrictamente para designar una imagen óptica fantasmal por Goethe en su Teoría de los colores y Schopenhauer en On Vision and Colors.

El prefijo "espectro" se usa para formar palabras relacionadas con los espectros. Por ejemplo, un espectrómetro es un dispositivo utilizado para registrar espectros y la espectroscopia es el uso de un espectrómetro para análisis químico.

Ciencia física

En el siglo XVII, Isaac Newton introdujo la palabra espectro en óptica, refiriéndose a la gama de colores observados cuando la luz blanca se dispersaba a través de un prisma. Pronto, el término se refería a una gráfica de intensidad o potencia lumínica en función de la frecuencia o la longitud de onda, también conocida como gráfica de densidad espectral.

El término espectro se amplió para aplicarse a otras ondas, como las ondas de sonido que también podrían medirse en función de la frecuencia, el espectro de frecuencia y el espectro de potencia de una señal. El término ahora se aplica a cualquier señal que se pueda medir o descomponer a lo largo de una variable continua, como la energía en la espectroscopía electrónica o la relación de masa a carga en la espectrometría de masas. El espectro también se usa para referirse a una representación gráfica de la señal en función de la variable dependiente.

Espectro electromagnético

El espectro electromagnético se refiere al rango completo de todas las frecuencias de radiación electromagnética y también a la distribución característica de la radiación electromagnética emitida o absorbida por ese objeto en particular. Los dispositivos utilizados para medir un espectro electromagnético se denominan espectrógrafo o espectrómetro. El espectro visible es la parte del espectro electromagnético que puede ver el ojo humano. La longitud de onda de la luz visible varía de 390 a 700 nm. El espectro de absorción de un elemento químico o compuesto químico es el espectro de frecuencias o longitudes de onda de radiación incidente que son absorbidas por el compuesto debido a las transiciones electrónicas de un estado de energía más bajo a más alto. El espectro de emisión se refiere al espectro de radiación emitida por el compuesto debido a las transiciones electrónicas de un estado de energía más alto a más bajo.

La luz de muchas fuentes diferentes contiene varios colores, cada uno con su propio brillo o intensidad. Un arco iris, o prisma, envía estos colores componentes en diferentes direcciones, haciéndolos visibles individualmente en diferentes ángulos. Un gráfico de la intensidad trazada contra la frecuencia (que muestra el brillo de cada color) es el espectro de frecuencia de la luz. Cuando todas las frecuencias visibles están presentes por igual, el color percibido de la luz es blanco y el espectro es una línea plana. Por lo tanto, los espectros de línea plana en general a menudo se denominan blancos, ya sea que representen luz u otro tipo de fenómeno de onda (sonido, por ejemplo, o vibración en una estructura).

En radio y telecomunicaciones, el espectro de frecuencia se puede compartir entre muchos difusores diferentes. El espectro de radio es la parte del espectro electromagnético correspondiente a frecuencias inferiores a 300 GHz, que corresponde a longitudes de onda más largas que aproximadamente 1 mm. El espectro de microondas corresponde a frecuencias entre 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) y 300 GHz y longitudes de onda entre un metro y un milímetro. Cada emisora de radio y televisión transmite una onda en un rango de frecuencia asignado, llamado canal. Cuando hay muchas emisoras presentes, el espectro de radio consiste en la suma de todos los canales individuales, cada uno con información separada, distribuidos en un amplio espectro de frecuencias. Cualquier receptor de radio en particular detectará una sola función de amplitud (voltaje) vs. tiempo. Luego, la radio utiliza un circuito o sintonizador sintonizado para seleccionar un solo canal o banda de frecuencia y demodular o decodificar la información de esa emisora. Si hiciéramos un gráfico de la intensidad de cada canal frente a la frecuencia del sintonizador, sería el espectro de frecuencia de la señal de la antena.

En la espectroscopía astronómica, la fuerza, la forma y la posición de las líneas de absorción y emisión, así como la distribución general de energía espectral del continuo, revelan muchas propiedades de los objetos astronómicos. La clasificación estelar es la categorización de las estrellas en función de sus espectros electromagnéticos característicos. La densidad de flujo espectral se utiliza para representar el espectro de una fuente de luz, como una estrella.

En radiometría y colorimetría (o ciencia del color en general), la distribución de potencia espectral (SPD) de una fuente de luz es una medida de la potencia aportada por cada frecuencia o color en una fuente de luz. El espectro de luz generalmente se mide en puntos (a menudo 31) a lo largo del espectro visible, en el espacio de longitud de onda en lugar del espacio de frecuencia, lo que hace que no sea estrictamente una densidad espectral. Algunos espectrofotómetros pueden medir incrementos tan finos como uno o dos nanómetros. Los valores se usan para calcular otras especificaciones y luego se trazan para mostrar los atributos espectrales de la fuente. Esto puede ser útil para analizar las características de color de una fuente en particular.

Espectro de masas

Una gráfica de la abundancia de iones en función de la relación masa-carga se llama espectro de masa. Puede ser producido por un instrumento de espectrómetro de masas. El espectro de masas se puede usar para determinar la cantidad y la masa de átomos y moléculas. La espectrometría de masas en tándem se utiliza para determinar la estructura molecular.

Espectro energético
En física, el espectro energético de una partícula es el número de partículas o la intensidad de un haz de partículas en función de la energía de la partícula. Ejemplos de técnicas que producen un espectro de energía son la espectroscopía de partículas alfa, la espectroscopía de pérdida de energía de electrones y la espectrometría de energía iónica-cinética analizada en masa.

Espectro discreto
En física, particularmente en mecánica cuántica, algunos operadores diferenciales tienen espectros discretos, con espacios entre los valores. Los casos comunes incluyen el hamiltoniano y el operador de momento angular.

Espectrograma

En acústica, un espectrograma es una representación visual del espectro de frecuencia del sonido en función del tiempo u otra variable.

Una fuente de sonido puede tener muchas frecuencias diferentes mezcladas. Un timbre de un tono musical se caracteriza por su espectro armónico. El sonido en nuestro entorno al que nos referimos como ruido incluye muchas frecuencias diferentes. Cuando una señal de sonido contiene una mezcla de todas las frecuencias audibles, distribuidas equitativamente sobre el espectro de audio, se denomina ruido blanco.

El analizador de espectro es un instrumento que se puede utilizar para convertir la onda de sonido de la nota musical en una visualización de las frecuencias constituyentes. Esta pantalla visual se conoce como espectrograma acústico. Los analizadores de espectro de audio basados en software están disponibles a bajo costo, proporcionando un fácil acceso no solo a los profesionales de la industria, sino también a académicos, estudiantes y aficionados. El espectrograma acústico generado por el analizador de espectro proporciona una firma acústica de la nota musical. Además de revelar la frecuencia fundamental y sus connotaciones, el espectrograma también es útil para el análisis del ataque temporal, la descomposición, el sostenimiento y la liberación de la nota musical.

Ciencia biológica
El espectro de actividad antibiótico es un componente de la clasificación de antibióticos . Un antibiótico de amplio espectro es activo contra una amplia gama de bacterias, mientras que un antibiótico de espectro estrecho es efectivo contra familias específicas de bacterias. Un ejemplo de un antibiótico de amplio espectro comúnmente utilizado es la ampicilina. Un ejemplo de un antibiótico de espectro estrecho es la dicloxacilina, que actúa sobre las bacterias grampositivas productoras de betalactamasa, como Staphylococcus aureus.

En psiquiatría, el enfoque del espectro utiliza el término espectro para describir un rango de condiciones vinculadas, que a veces también se extiende para incluir síntomas y rasgos singulares. Por ejemplo, el espectro austita del describe una variedad de afecciones clasificadas como trastornos del desarrollo neurológico.

Matemáticas
En matemáticas, el espectro de una matriz es el conjunto múltiple de los valores propios de la matriz.

En el análisis funcional, el concepto del espectro de un operador acotado es una generalización del concepto de valor propio para matrices.

En topología algebraica, un espectro es un objeto que representa una teoría de cohomología generalizada.

Ciencias Sociales

En ciencias sociales, el espectro económico se utiliza para indicar el rango de clase social junto con algún indicador de riqueza o ingreso. En ciencia política, el término espectro político se refiere a un sistema de clasificación de posiciones políticas en una o más dimensiones, por ejemplo en un rango que incluye ala derecha e izquierda.

Q: Sort list by multiple fields(not then compare) in java Now I have an object:
public class Room{
    private long roomId;
    private long roomGroupId;
    private String roomName;
    ... getter
    ... setter
}

I want sort list of rooms by 'roomId', but in the meantime while room objects has 'roomGroupId' greator than zero and has same value then make them close to each other.
Let me give you some example:
input:
[{"roomId":3,"roomGroupId":0},
 {"roomId":6,"roomGroupId":0},
 {"roomId":1,"roomGroupId":1},
 {"roomId":2,"roomGroupId":0},
 {"roomId":4,"roomGroupId":1}]

output:
[{"roomId":6,"roomGroupId":0},
 {"roomId":4,"roomGroupId":1},
 {"roomId":1,"roomGroupId":1},
 {"roomId":3,"roomGroupId":0},
 {"roomId":2,"roomGroupId":0}]

As shown above, the list sort by 'roomId',  but 'roomId 4' and 'roomId 1' are close together, because they has the same roomGroupId.

A: This does not have easy nice solution (maybe I am wrong).
You can do this like this
        TreeMap<Long, List<Room>> roomMap = new TreeMap<>();

        rooms.stream()
             .collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Room::getRoomGroupId))
             .forEach((key, value) -> {
                 if (key.equals(0L)) {
                     value.forEach(room -> roomMap.put(room.getRoomId(), Arrays.asList(room)));
                 } else {
                     roomMap.put(
                         Collections.max(value, Comparator.comparing(Room::getRoomId))
                                    .getRoomId(),
                         value
                             .stream()
                             .sorted(Comparator.comparing(Room::getRoomId)
                                               .reversed())
                             .collect(Collectors.toList())
                     );
                 }
             });

        List<Room> result = roomMap.descendingMap()
                                   .entrySet()
                                   .stream()
                                   .flatMap(entry -> entry.getValue()
                                                          .stream())
                                   .collect(Collectors.toList());

A: If you're in Java 8, you can use code like this
Collections.sort(roomList, Comparator.comparing(Room::getRoomGroupId)
            .thenComparing(Room::getRoomId));

If not, you should use a comparator
class SortRoom implements Comparator<Room>
{

    public int compare(Room a, Room b)
    {
        if (a.getRoomGroupId().compareTo(b.getRoomGroupId()) == 0) {
            return a.getRoomId().compareTo(b.getRoomId());
        }

        return a.getRoomGroupId().compareTo(b.getRoomGroupId();
    }
}

and then use it like this
Collections.sort(roomList, new SortRoom());

Al Qaeda's Voter Survey
Interest-groups-21.jpg
Three of Sen. John McCain's endorsements, some more desirable than others. (Wikimedia/Flickr: ManilaRyce)
So far, this election cycle has yielded the usual presidential endorsements from the usual special-interest groups. The League of Conservation Voters (Sen. Barack Obama). The National Rifle Assn. (Sen. John McCain). The AFL-CIO (Obama). The National Right to Life Political Action Committee (McCain).
But the organization that has most affected American politics over the last eight years is one whose endorsement no candidate would ever seek: the Al Qaeda terrorist movement. To the degree it seeks to play a role in the 2008 election, Al Qaeda's candidate appears to be McCain, according to many former intelligence officials and terrorism experts.
Election-button1.jpg
Last week, a posting on an Al Qaeda-aligned jihadist message board, al-Hesbah, embraced the Republican presidential nominee. Al Qaeda's goals require "the presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," according to the anonymous post. "Then, Al Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."
The McCain campaign, in a conference call the next day, understandably distanced themselves from the jihadist forum. After all, Republicans have argued for the past three national elections that electing Democrats would be tantamount to giving Osama bin Laden an invitation to the Lincoln Bedroom.
Perhaps most famously, Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) unseated Max Cleland, a triple-amputee Vietnam veteran and a Democrat, by running an ad featuring Cleland's face along with those of bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Indeed, on the call, Randy Scheunemann, a senior foreign-policy adviser to McCain, linked Obama to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. TWI's Matthew DeLong has reported seeing signs near McCain rallies that place images of Obama and bin Laden side by side.
But interviews with intelligence officials and other experts on the international jihadist movement back the assessment of al-Hesbah's anonymous extremist. "Al Qaeda would like McCain to come to power and see an extension of Bush's policies," said Rohan Gunaratna, head of Singapore's International Center for Political Violence and Terrorism Research, one of the world's most respected anti-terrorism institutes.
"They would prefer a McCain victory," agreed Paul Pillar, a former lead analyst at the CIA's counterterrorism center and the intelligence community's chief Mideast analyst from 2000 to 2005.
Despite the Republican effort to portray Democrats as the useful idiots of terrorists and themselves as stalwart defenders of freedom, Washington's mishandling of the war in Afghanistan and the occupation of Iraq have energized and magnified Al Qaeda, demonstrating the counterproductive aspects of U.S. bellicosity.
Bin Laden himself has straightforwardly described his strategy as one designed to provoke the far-more-powerful United States into a series of bloody, expensive and futile military expeditions. McCain has mocked Obama's rejection of the Bush administration's militarism as a disqualification from office.
"Bin Laden surely would vote for McCain," said Jonathan Stevenson, a professor of strategic studies at the U.S. Naval War College. "Bush, whose foreign policy McCain pretty much supported, has been a recruiting sergeant for Al Qaeda and its kin."
Ironically, bin Laden outlined his strategy in a manner designed to bring it about. The weekend before the 2004 presidential election, the leader of Al Qaeda released a videotape excoriating Bush and explaining Al Qaeda's efforts at "bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy." Author Ron Suskind reported in "The One Percent Doctrine" that the CIA assessed the tape was designed to aid Bush's reelection by infuriating American voters.
Pillar recalled that while he didn't see any classified assessments, bin Laden indeed intended to ensure Bush would get another four years in office. "He had a clear preference for Bush," Pillar said.
The items atop Al Qaeda's metaphorical voter scorecard are "just the opposite what of what some would think," said a retired senior CIA operative who requested anonymity. First and foremost, he said, Al Qaeda would prefer Washington to continue its war in Iraq, as McCain has promised and Obama has rejected.
While the Sunni Awakening and the U.S. troop surge have dealt serious damage to Al Qaeda's affiliate in Iraq, the retired operative said, "the long term view will be more complicated," as the Shiite-led Iraqi government fails to reconcile with disenfranchised Sunnis. "It would be in their interests for U.S. troops to leave, but it's also not bad for them if they stay," the retired operative continued. "It's the best of both worlds. The more they view us as occupiers, the better it is for them."
A continued U.S. occupation of Iraq has additional benefits for bin Laden, Stevenson said. "Primarily, it would bog down the U.S. military and make it easier for Al Qaeda to secure physical space in tribal areas of Pakistan, and prevent [the U.S. from] refocusing on Afghanistan, as Obama wants to do," he said. "Secondly, it would continue to give Al Qaeda a new training ground for aspiring jihadists. … From a political point of view, it plants a large U.S. presence in a very important Arab and Muslim country. It tends to perpetuate and stoke Muslim grievances."
Additionally, Al Qaeda would like to see the next U.S. administration adopt a "hard line on not engaging with the governments of Muslim countries, including Syria and Iran," Pillar said. Obama's pledge to negotiate with the Iranians has fueled a consistent McCain attack for weeks, but not to do so "would aid [Al Qaeda's] message," as would "continued uncompromising, unflinching support for Israeli positions" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Pillar added.
In Afghanistan and Pakistan, "continued, if not expanded, use of military force in northwest Pakistan" by the U.S. "would be welcomed" by Al Qaeda, Pillar said, highlighting a position that Obama has, under certain conditions, entertained embracing.
But the retired senior CIA operative said "the one thing that would give [Al Qaeda] a problem" in the region would be for the U.S. to negotiate a separate peace deal with the Taliban, thereby depriving Al Qaeda of critical logistical, tactical and moral support. Negotiations with the Taliban were recently embraced, however tentatively, by Obama in a recent interview with Time Magazine's Joe Klein, and by Gen. David Petraeus, the soon-to-be commander of all U.S. troops in the Middle East and South Asia.
What Al Qaeda would most probably least like to see a new administration do is to reconcile with a suspicious Muslim world. While McCain has pledged to work with moderate Muslims, Obama has vowed to deliver a major address in an Islamic capitol city during his first year in office.
"Use of soft power by Obama will weaken support and sympathy for Al Qaeda and its associated groups and self-radicalized homegrown cells," Gunaratna wrote in an email from Egypt. "Since Iraq, jihadism is moving from the periphery to the centre of the Muslim world! Although Americans are the most generous people on earth, the U.S. under President Bush has lost tremendous international goodwill. [McCain's] understanding is very similar to Bush."
Still, the question remains whether, as in 2004, bin Laden will attempt to sway the election by releasing a videotape in the race's final days. The many experts interviewed for this piece were unwilling to predict that either bin Laden, his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri or another Al Qaeda communique would do this. "I think the odds are less and less each day," Pillar said.
But even if Al Qaeda does release a communique in the next seven days, Stevenson was unsure it would have much impact. "I don't think foreign policy is the primary election issue this year, whereas it certainly was in 2004," he said. "And we have gone another four years without a major attack in the U.S.
"Even if Al Qaeda sounds threatening and suggests an Obama presidency would make America more vulnerable," Stevenson continued, "it might have a crying-wolf effect to it. This year, 'it's the economy, stupid.'"
