Institute for Materials Research (IMR)
An in-house grazing incidence x-ray scattering (GIXS) apparatus has been newly developed for characterizing the surface structure at a microscopic level. Using this apparatus, surface diffraction profiles from the oxidized SUS304 stainless steel were measured in the vicinity of the critical angle with the GIXS geometry. The depth profite was discussed from the integrated intensities of both oxidized phase and stainless steel bulk. An in-house grazing x-ray reflection apparatus (GXR) has also been newly built for studying the liquid surface, and the liquid/solid and liquid/liquid interfaces. This system was tested by measuring x-ray reflectivity profiles from free surface of mercury and the water/mercury interface. In addition, a new method has been proposed for determining the atomic number density of a near-surface element in materials using grazing x-ray reflection and anomalous dispersion effect. The essential equations for analyzing the measured reflection data were given and the capability of this anomalous grazing x-ray reflection (AGXR) method was well-confirmed by obtaining the atomic number densities of near surface elements with some selected examples of ZrO2-Y2O3 crystal and the passivated stainless steel.

I tried to receive the certs several time. due to my ignorance I tried to often. Then I read the docs and installed certs from the staging server, which works (rate-limit higher). After that I tried several times to replace the staging server cert with a production one, but always got rate-limit error. So I gave up and waited one week after the first rate-limit error. This was yesterday and again I got rate-limit error (see above). Why? Does the rate-limit "clock" resets with every try, even I dont get a new cert? If not why does it not work after one week?
selfhost.eu is not a public suffix. Your best bet is to get off that and onto a domain that appears on the Public Suffix List, or preferably your own domain.
You might be able to get a cert right now, but somebody may have snatched that window up.
Summary generated at https://tools.letsdebug.net/cert-search?m=domain&q=renkaba.selfhost.eu&d=168 .
It's a domain where all its users share a common rate limit.
There's no solution to that issue, unless the owner of selfhost.eu submits his domain to the PSL.
Ok, means I can get a cert only by chance for selfhost.eu. Can I check how many are issued already or just keep on trying, if I want to stay with this provider?
@_az already pointed to a website listing the most recent certificate issuances. But that site uses Certificate Logs, which can lag a little bit behind. So even if that site says you can get a new certificate, it might be already outdated info.
Next window to get a new certificate is in 13 minutes - good luck.

La casa Pau Manich és un edifici situat al carrer de les Candeles, 5 de Barcelona, catalogat com a bé amb elements d'interès.

Descripció
Es tracta d'un edifici d'habitatges de planta baixa i quatre pisos, en una parcel·la enclavada entre dues construccions amb façana al carrer de la Princesa. La reixa sobre la porta d'entrada té la data 1859 (tot i que l'última xifra està deteriorada).

Història
El 1855, el fabricant de trenyelles de cotó Pau Manich i Cabanellas (†1892) va demanar permís per a instal·lar-hi una màquina de vapor de 2 CV, de la casa Alexander i Cia, segons el projecte de l'arquitecte Josep Simó i Fontcuberta.

El 1856, Manich va traslladar la seva indústria a un nou edifici del carrer de Jaume Giralt, avui desaparegut (vegeu casa-fàbrica Manich), i el 1858 va demanar permís per a reedificar la casa del carrer de les Candeles.

Ichimichi Mao, Hanae Natsuki, and Mimori Suzuko at tri.'s prescreening. Original image uploaded by @Digi_advntr15th
With less than ten days remaining until the Japanese premier of Digimon Adventure tri., it's an appropriate time to learn about the men and women behind the film. Hanae Natsuki is the new voice of Yagami Taichi ("Tai" in the English dub), selected along with seven other seiyuu to replace the aging human voice cast of Digimon Adventure. Born in 1991, Hanae grew up watching Adventure while in second grade, being seven years old when the series began its Japanese run in March '99, and eight when it ended in 2000.
Hanae was strongly influenced by Taichi's character as a child, and consequently his voice actress Fujita Toshiko. At the 2015 DigiFes event, Hanae admitted to having difficulties stepping into the role of Taichi because the character was such a big hero to him as a child. Sakamoto Chika, voice of Agumon, encouraged him by reminding him that as the new Taichi, Hanae is himself a "chosen child." (The Japanese equivalent to the dub's "DigiDestined.")
Hanae first began working as a seiyuu in 2011 and 2012, playing minor and supporting roles. His first leading role was as Haimura Kiri in 2013's The Severing Crime Edge. Outside of voice acting, Hanae is also a gamer and fan of League of Legends, having done voicework for the game in addition to playing it.

Q: Activate an on-screen keyboard in KDE How do I start an on-screen display on my laptop with touchscreen?
I tried florence:
 sudo apt install florence

But that seems quite old-scool and is always on top. Not usable!
How do I get an on-screen display like in Ubuntu unity?

A: OnBoard is a good virtual keyboard not especially for KDE, but working on most Linux:
 sudo apt install onboard

Automatic opening and closing won't work on KDE but it places a status icon in the tray area which will let it pop up when clicked.

Q: NSURLConnection delegate creation Is there an automatic way to create a NSURLConnection delegate in Xcode 4.5.2 for iOS? By that I mean that I added a new Class and indicated its Class as NSURLConnection in Xcode. But no delegate file(s) with corresponding delegate methods was created. Am I supposed to manually do that, or what? And if so, do I just add the delegate methods to the files that were created for me (BSUrl.h/.m)?
I don't think I need a UIWebView because I do not want to view the page I request, but only to parse it (with NSRegularExpressionSearch and NSTextCheckingResult, I hope). But if the lack of a UIWebView is the problem, please advise.

A: You need to add manually. You can create a custom NSURLConnection and create custom delegates, protocols to be implemented, or wharever you want. Also you can make a Category of NSURLConnection. If you re interesting, read more here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/General/Conceptual/DevPedia-CocoaCore/Category.html


A drone flew dangerously close to the Seattle Space Needle and in the video you can even see tourists waving at the flying machine.
Security guards called 911 reporting that the drone had actually crashed into the world famous landmark.
Cops traced the drone to a fifth-floor room in a Best Western Hotel two blocks away.
The drone operator was Alex Klinghoffer of Dallas and get this: He is a sales executive at Amazon, which has its headquarters in Seattle.
You may recall Amazon founder Jeff Bezos revealing on 60 Minutes last December that the Internet retail giant wants to make deliveries by drone. Amazon made a formal application to the FAA just a couple of weeks ago.
Jeff Bezos said on 60 Minutes, "It will work, and it will happen, and it's going to be a lot of fun."
So, was the drone flight an Amazon stunt?
Seattle police tweeted tongue in cheek: "Space Needle still standing after reported drone strike... But still waiting for our @amazon package to arrive."
This was the latest drone incident to make the news.
Lisa Pleiss, who also works for Amazon, photographed a drone hovering right outside her high-rise apartment window. She thought it was spying on her, but it turned out the drone is owned by a professional photographer hired to shoot video for a real estate developer.
A crowd of revels actually brought down a drone hovering over celebrations of the L.A. Kings Stanley Cup victory.
But the Seattle drone operator is grounded for now. Police made him promise not to fly his drone during the rest of his stay in Seattle.

TTIP's Implications for Moscow: Further Economic Isolation?
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership faces controversy over a number of domestic economical implications, but what does Russia stand to lose if the deal goes through? Could Russia find itself even more isolated from the Western community?
Second Order Effects of Free Trade
In recent months, the Obama administration has thrown much of its political capital behind two of the largest trade deals in U.S. history: the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Though the U.S. Congress blocked the initiative, these trade deals would give the United States free-trade privileges with a substantial portion of the world economy. TTIP specifically would create the largest free trade area in the world. While world media has been obsessively focused with the domestic implications of TTIP for Europe and the United States, absent from this conversation is the second-order effect that the deal could have on the largest markets absent from the deal's purview, most specifically Russia.
Negative Implications for Russia
The effect that TTIP could have on Russia's trade portfolio is difficult to estimate, especially since it is contingent on the deal passing the prickly and skeptical legislative bodies of both the United States and the European Union, both of which are critical of the other's motivations regarding how each respective business community will operate in the new market once (and if) the deal is fully implemented. If the partnership is ultimately implemented, however, Russia stands to be one of the largest losers. Put simply, the European Union is Russia's largest trading partner, and TTIP stipulations would give the EU its desired alternative source for Russian goods, especially energy. Given new realities in American energy production and the economic potential brought on by a fully implemented TTIP, Russia could quickly see its largest export market flee westward.
For Europe to pivot more of its trade portfolio to the Americas would undoubtedly damage the revenue stream of Eastern exporters. Most threatening in this regard is if TTIP were to include an energy union. Currently, the United States, thanks to the extraction of previously unreachable reserves of shale oil and gas, has run massive production surpluses – so much so that it has run out of space for its excess hydrocarbons. Coupling this dynamic with European skepticism over its dependency on hydrocarbon imports, enshrining energy flows in the language of TTIP would be devastating to an already battered Russian economy. It is no secret that much of Russia's fiscal policy is dependent on the revenue garnered from energy exports westward.
Russia's economy is not entirely shattered yet. The potential to develop reserves on the Yamal peninsula and the greater Siberian arctic region could provide Russia with the resource richness conducive to their highly profitable export regime of the 2000s. However, much of this potential has been lost thanks to Russia's unfavorable geopolitical position. The implications of TTIP, given that tapping Arctic reserves will require joint-ventures with the more technically-capable western energy companies, further threatens the Russian position. Already, Shell has pulled out of a partnership with Rosneft, most likely due to the unfavorable tax regime imposed upon foreign companies by the Kremlin. The reduction of investment barriers in the transatlantic economic area will only make this decision easier for energy firms who will most likely be priced into buying American reserves. Furthermore, American partnerships are much more politically stable than those with Russian oligarch-led firms operating in a very opaque legal environment.
Domestic Scapegoats and Geopolitical Maneuvers
The consternation over the domestic implications of TTIP in Washington and Brussels is confusing, given the potential for economic growth and more favorable geopolitical positions for both capitals. Perhaps the European left's concerns over the United States' lack of standards (especially in food and agriculture), and American populists' concerns over grossly unequal income distribution are well founded. However, the fact of the matter is that these concerns are going to be exacerbated by the existing economic systems as is, regardless of what the trade portfolios of the two entities are. It is likely that these trade deals offer legislators in the two capitals easily accessible scapegoats in light of the American campaign season, and the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis.
What Washington and Brussels fail to fully realize is that TTIP, and the greater considerations of economic partnership in the Transatlantic area, carry much greater weight in their geopolitical concerns than the last few years of purely qualitative diplomacy have. It seems that economic considerations are driving some of the largest diplomatic endeavors of the last year, namely the United States' rapprochement with Cuba, and their ability to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. Sanctions against Russia in response to the Ukraine crisis have caused a considerable lack of confidence in the Russian market and exacerbated capital flight, but the fact remains that energy trade is Russia's greatest economic vulnerability. If the West's desire is to isolate Russia economically, TTIP is the best place to do it.

Home Biomass Energy - The Definitive Guide
Biomass Energy – The Definitive Guide
Biomass energy is largely touted as the best alternative to petroleum and its derivatives in electricity generation. Biomass is a complex term referring to agriculture residues, plant materials, human waste, and other combustible residues. From these materials, we can derive bioenergy, which is eco-friendly, sustainable and renewable compared with fossil fuel energy production.
Human beings have discovered the efficiency of biomass such as wood pellets, cow dung, grass clippings, sugarcane bagasse in making fire for their everyday energy needs. However, such methods are not that efficient when compared to electricity generation methods. Today biomass has gained popularity in many countries as a viable source of energy. Biofuels are also replacing fossil fuels in some cars.
There is more to biomass which we will unfold in this article. We will be exploring the biomass energy basics, social and environmental impacts, economic effects, advantages and disadvantages of biomass energy, and the applications (uses) of this energy.
Bioenergy Basics
How does biomass energy work?
This is a basic question that most ask regarding how this energy works and how it is generated. As aforementioned, biomass refers to plants and animals' materials that are used to generate electricity. There is a biomass plant (see the picture below) that is used to produce electricity by burning biomass in a combustor/furnace.
While direct combustion is not the only method of producing bioenergy, it remains the popular effective method. Other modern technologies produce a combustible gas out of biomass while others use pyrolysis to replace fossil fuels.
In the furnace or boiler of the biomass-fired plant, there could be sawdust, wood pellets, wood chips, or bio-oil. Heating water using these materials will yield steam that will activate the turbine which is connected to the generator, and ultimately generate electricity. As seen in the picture, there is the condenser which will condense the liquid back to the furnace to be reheated and electricity production will be continuous.
Bioenergy generating methods
There are many ways, as we have cited above, that biomass is generated into energy. Nonetheless, there are a few discussed below which include biochemical, thermochemical, chemical, and thermal conversion.
Biochemical conversion of biomass
To convert biomass into biochemical energy, microorganisms are used to produce ethanol. In particular, fuels and fertilizers are produced using biological and fermentation processes. In this quest, fermentation and anaerobic digestion are the main processes utilized. The anaerobic process uses microorganisms to breakdown organic material in oxygen-free settings. The production of biogas and methane from crops and manure is achieved through anaerobic digestion.
Fermentation, on the other hand, uses yeast to convert carbohydrates into bioethanol. This is a multi-stage process wherein crops may be combined with water in the first stage, and then heat and enzymes are used to break down the materials. Some enzymes will convert carbohydrates into sugars. Eventually, the alcohol is produced. It is a complex process beyond the scope of this article.
Chemical Conversion of Biomass
This process entails converting biomass other forms of energy using chemical reactions. The most common chemical reaction is the one that involves transesterification whose end-products are soaps, glycerin, and biodiesel. Fatty acids bond to alcohol to make them combustible.
Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass
The thermochemical processes convert biomass into chemicals and gases, and these processes are multi-stage. That's where gasification comes in place and converts biomass into gas using extremely high temperatures approximately 800 degrees Celsius. In thermochemical conversion, the first stage is where solid biomass is transformed into gas, then gas into oils, and then oils into syngas.
Thermal Conversion of Biomass
This step involves using heat to transform solid biomass into useful energies. The technologies used in this stage include combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis. In combustion, biomass is burned in an oxygen-rich environment. The steam can be produced to provide heating and cooling applications or to turn turbines which then generate electricity. We have already explained direct combustion in electricity production above under biomass energy basics.
There is a co-firing practice where biomass is mixed with fossil fuels to produce electricity. This attempt saves some portions of fossil fuels. It also contributes to less carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The production of heat and electricity is also possible at the same time with biomass in a process called co-generation.
Under thermal conversion, there is also pyrolysis which undertakes biomass combustion under low oxygen levels, high-pressure conditions and high temperatures over 430 C. The process yields biofuels and biochar (a solid residue).
Types of Biofuels
There are various types of biofuels today in the industry. Biomass energy examples include biodiesel which is made from vegetable oils and animals fats; green diesel that is extracted from plant sources and algae; bioethanol derived from sugarcane in Brazil and corn in the US; and biogas extracted from animal manure and other organic materials.
Uses Of Biomass Energy
We explore the applications of biomass energy in electricity production, heating, and biofuels in cars. These are the main uses of bioenergy.
1). Electricity Production
Perhaps the main use in today's world, electricity production from biomass-fired plants is on the table for discussion in many countries. Direct combustion system is the most common pathway used in this regard. The system burns biomass in furnaces and boilers to produce steam that will turn turbines and subsequently generate electricity by activating the electric generator.
A biomass-fired power plant will typically have furnace/combustor, pumps, turbine, condenser, electric generator, fuel storage, handling equipment, boiler, fans, automated system control, exhaust controls, and the cooling tower. The picture below illustrates the process:
2). Heating
Biomass heaters are potential replacements for fossil fuel heaters. The boilers can burn wood pellets, wood chips, sawdust, logs or any other type of biomass. They are connected to your home heating system and can provide heat to the home or heat your water. Already many households, particularly in rural areas, are using biomass such as wood chips and logs to burn stoves in winter to provide heat. Using biomass-fueled heaters has proven to be more efficient and potential alternative for both the urban and rural households.
3). Powering cars using biofuels
Biofuels have proven to be efficient and effective in powering modern cars and boost their performance. Ethanol is the common biofuel used to power cars. The United States produces bioethanol from corn while Brazil, for example, produces it from sugarcane. Biofuels are generally derived from sugar fermentation. They emit less carbon dioxide and are cost-effective. Countries underprivileged with fossil fuel reserves can make use of biofuels to power their cars. Biofuel can be blended with either diesel or petrol. If blended with petrol, a maximum of 10% bioethanol is required and if paired with diesel a maximum of 5% biodiesel is required.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Biomass Energy
Biomass energy has its ups and downs as well. We will highlight these advantages and disadvantages below to help you decide whether to consider bioenergy or not. But, compared with non-renewable fossil fuels, biomass energy carries more advantages that outweigh the disadvantages.
It is a renewable and sustainable energy because the animal or human waste and plants materials are always available
No sulfur or mercury emission into the atmosphere
Minimal nitrogen release
Biofuels used in cars
Biomass boilers efficiently heat homes
Cost-effective source of energy
Eliminates landfills because waste is taken for electricity production
It is carbon-dioxide neutral because the amount released into the atmosphere is almost equal to the amount taken when plants grow again.
Competition with food production. The crops designated for energy production will consume much of the land that could be used to plant food to feed the hungry households
Emits carbon dioxide which has to be offset by re-planting of trees
Methane gas emission but not too adverse
Risk of deforestation
Not energy efficient compared to fossil fuels so other may be discouraged to replace fossil fuels completely
Costly – capital cost in constructing the infrastructure for large scale productions
Consumers must pay to get the energy on a continuous basis
Social and Environmental effects
Biomass energy is tied to some social and environmental effects. The negative effects of biomass power on the environment include the release of carbon dioxide. However, this amount of carbon dioxide is not necessarily damaging to the environment because the trees, when planted, consume almost the same amount. As thus, this makes biomass energy a carbon-neutral source.
The social impacts of biomass power plant are also, considerably, many. The plants will produce electricity for a country and negate the current tensions that countries have with fossil fuel ownership. There will be more energy generation that will benefit more citizens of the country including those in rural areas. Many people in some countries flock to cities where fossil fuel energy is abundant. The abundance of biomass energy production in rural environments will compensate for that.
The biomass plant requires space and getting this space in rural areas may be a challenge. You may have to lease land to construct the plant. Some people might object to the emissions of gases because they find them unhealthy despite the benefits. These are some of the social impacts of biomass power plants.
Economic effects of Biomass Mass
The energy will save many people money. With the rising costs of fossil fuels, biomass energy can come to the rescue of many countries. In other words, there are positive outlooks to the future and economic impacts of biomass. The other positive side of biomass is that individual households can actually sell biomass to energy producers and make money out of that. It will help reduce the cost of disposing of waste to designated landfills.
The production of biofuels such as ethanol is also carrying positive economic outlooks. As a result, modern cars can benefit from these fuels.
Biomass Energy Facts and Figures
Here we explore important facts about biomass energy in the United States [1] and the rest of the world. In general, biomass fuels have contributed 5% of energy in the US in 2016. However, the country plans to increase this figure. Bioethanol takes up 48% of this 5% followed by wood-derived biomass with 41% and municipal waste with 11%.
Worldwide, biomass energy has contributed 10% to global energy production in 2012, a figure envisaged skyrocketing if all stakeholders come to the forefront and leverage on this potential energy source. In fact, biofuels contributed 2068 trillion BTU [2] the previous year.
Power generation Potential
Experts have mixed views about the future of biomass energy. Other countries such as Germany have lost hope in using biomass energy as the renewable source [3]. Instead, the country prioritizes wind and solar as the winners. Other experts are predicting a great potential of the energy. Bioenergy has its issues such as the feedstock needed to produce it versus some environmental impacts such as emissions. Although it emerges as the outright winner compared with fossil fuels, it does not come near solar power, hydropower, wind energy or tidal energy.

Biomass Explained
Does bioenergy have a green energy future in the US?
On Biofuels, part 3: The future of bioenergy
Biomass energy is a potential alternative to fossil-fuel generated electricity. There are abundant biomass materials to produce electricity cost-effectively. Biomass energy production comes with minimal greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. However, that's insignificant compared with fossil fuels. By the way, the carbon dioxide emitted will be taken away again by plants when they are grown. Biomass is also a significant source of heating in many households. Many households have been using woods in stoves to provide heating particularly in winter, but the provision of biomass boilers is negating the efficacy of those stoves.
We have explored several technologies used in biomass energy production as well as several uses and applications. In addition, we've considered the advantages and disadvantages of giving you comprehensive knowledge into the future of biomass energy.
Given the flexibility of biomass energy production, many countries with no fossil fuel reserves can make use of this opportunity because biomass is almost available everywhere. It is immune to the rising costs of fossil fuels. There are good economic impacts of biofuels such as ethanol as it is widely used in cars.

It's enough to cause Aaron McGruder to consider going silent. At least when he's amid the media.
"I don't have much of a stomach for this kind of thing anymore," the creator of "The Boondocks" tells Comic Riffs.
By "this kind of thing," McGruder is referring to controversy that he says arises out of misinterpretation. Misquoting. And sometimes, just plain missing the point.
This week, McGruder spoke to about 700 people at Earlham College in Richmond, Ind. It was Martin Luther King Day, as well as the day before President Obama's inauguration, and the conversation naturally turned to the intersection of race and politics.
McGruder says he was commenting on the "endless stream of black pundits on TV pontificating about the significance of President Obama's election -- many of them making reference to the 3/5th's clause in the constitution regarding slaves." McGruder added in a statement Wednesday: "The point I was making is that this is not an accurate comparison."
In covering the event, however, the Richmond Palladium-Item newspaper quoted McGruder as saying: "The person who is one of us in the White House is Michelle Obama and her momma." The article also included the sentence: "McGruder said that to him, Obama is not black because he is not a descendant of a slave."
In response, McGruder's office posted a statement on blogs including Comic Riffs. Calls and an e-mail to the Palladium-Item for comment were not returned.
"It was a simple conversation about the differences between race, ethnicity, nationality, and trying to draw distinctions that most of the media and public seemed to be casually ignoring," McGruder tells Comic Riffs. "That somehow became me calling someone who is obviously black not black -- and there's very little I can do about it."
McGruder goes on to say: "Sadly, it no longer matters how carefully you choose your words -- you said what the dumbest person in the audience said you said. I've certainly had my share of criticism for the 'legit' media -- in fact, I largely stopped doing press because I hate being misquoted or misinterpreted by journalists -- but this new kind of 'gutter news' from sites ... [is] going to make it extremely difficult to engage in any sort of intelligent discourse.
"The only way to avoid this kind of thing would literally be to stop talking," the cartoonist added, "something I may have to consider."
As an insult-to-injury kicker, he notes that the article says he was clad in a "Boondocks" shirt.
Says McGruder: "I wasn't even wearing a 'Boondocks' T-shirt."
So in his "reply" he brought up the old "military industrial complex" bit. I think he's a bit young to have heard Eisenhower in 1961, so where is that being preached today?
"...As an insult-to-injury kicker, he notes that the article says he was clad in a "Boondocks" shirt. Says McGruder: "I wasn't even wearing a 'Boondocks' T-shirt."
If this is true, then the problem is larger than mis-quoting. Who did the reporter mistake for McGruder? I'm sorry the Indiana paper didn't respond with a statement.
I'd love to hear their side of the story.
McGruder's being a publicity hound, and this is just a second bite at the apple.
I can only hope that McGruder takes his threat seriously and STOPS talking.
In the 21st century no one should claim he was misquoted without offering proof. Buy a tape recorder. Use it. Prove you were misquoted. No good journalist will deny your right to record your interview or your speech. Some people claim they were misquoted because it is difficult to admit they said something stupid.
"Republicans do what psychotic, power-	hungry megalomaniacs are supposed to do," McGruder said, with what sounded almost like grudging admiration.
"The Republicans play the political game the way it's supposed to be played — dirty, underhanded and messy, and violent," he said.
How bad are they? They killed Minnesota Democratic Sen. Paul Wellstone, he insisted.
Maybe it's something in the Indiana water McGruder isn't used to.
The sad thing about about this issue is, it was so unneccesary for mcgruder to make such a distinction about Obama on the eve of his Inauguration. Mcgruder displays the 'crab in the barrel'l mentality which does what it can to bring another black man down as he reaches the top. His excuses for being misquoted are just as bad as the quotes attributed to him.
The fact of the matter is blacks are decendants of slaves all over the world. The racism that we all experience is metered out consistently and Obama is aware of this experience and will do what he can to improve our lives. So shut up, vote for Palin when you get a chance and go back to writing your worthless kiddie toons that white folk support and realize that few care about your attempts at intellectualism or your house mentality.
Lastly, look in the mirror, Mr. High-Yella, before you identify who is black or not because you are not an authority on the subject.
He long ago lumped himself in--voluntarily, I may add--with such perpetually ticked-off hacks as Ted Rall. There's no possibility of pleasing him, no matter what happens.
In other words, why should I give a rat's posterior what the heck he thinks?

More than 150 passengers and crew have been rescued from a stricken tourist ship after it hit ice off Antarctica.
The M/S Explorer is now lying on its side close to the South Shetland Islands, in the Antarctic Ocean.
Gap Adventures, which owns the ship, said 91 passengers, nine guides and 54 crew members were safely evacuated to lifeboats and then to another ship.
After staying the night at a base on a Chilean island, they are expected to fly to Chile's mainland on Saturday.
Gap Adventures said 23 Britons, 17 Dutch, 10 Australians, 13 Americans and 10 Canadians were among the 154 on board.
The remaining nationalities of the rescued tourists are Irish, Danish, Swiss, Belgian, Japanese, French, German and Chinese, said the Toronto-based tour company.
There was confusion earlier over crew and passenger numbers due to uncertainty at Gap Adventures.
Following the news of the incident, the specialist Lloyds List maritime publication said the 2,400-tonne Explorer had five faults at its last inspection.
However, the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), whose inspectors found the faults, said that they had all been rectified by the time the ship set sail again.
"These were not huge problems and were all rectified before the vessel sailed. It would not have been allowed to depart if everything had not been sorted out," MCA spokesman Mark Clarke told PA news.
All passengers and crew were transferred to a Norwegian cruise ship, the Nordnorge.
The passengers would be transferred to Chile before being flown home on Saturday, said Gap Adventures.
"They are all in good spirits," company spokeswoman Marie Anne MacRae told the BBC News website.
Paola Palavecino, an ornithologist onboard the rescue ship, the Nordnorge, told the BBC that four of those rescued had suffered moderate hypothermia, but that they had later recovered, having eaten and been given additional warm clothes.
The group had embarked from Ushuaia, on Argentina's southern tip, on 11 November for a 19-day "Spirit of Shackleton" cruise through the Drake Passage.
The captain and the first officer abandoned the Liberian-registered Explorer after initially remaining on board to pump water.
First officer Peter Svensson told Reuters: "We were passing through ice as usual. But this time something hit the hold and we got a little leakage downstairs.
"No one was hysterical, they were just sitting there nice and quiet, because we knew there were ships coming."
According to a report on Lloyds List's website, the Explorer was found to have five "deficiencies" at an inspection in May at Greenock, Scotland, by the UK's Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA).
Watertight doors were described as "not as required", while lifeboat maintenance problems and missing search and rescue plans were also noted.
Chilean port inspectors also found six deficiencies during an inspection in Puerto Natales in March, including two related to navigation matters, said Lloyds List.
Gap Adventures said the Explorer was passed as fit for sea by inspectors in October this year at a dry dock before their tourist season began.
The MCA said it became aware at 0524 GMT on Friday that the expedition ship was in distress near King George Island.
It ran into trouble approximately 120km (75 miles) north of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Susan Hayes, vice-president of marketing for Gap Adventures, said: "The hull has a hole the size of a fist and the outlook is not so positive for the ship at the moment."
The company said the pumps had been used in an effort to stop the ship sinking. But the vessel is now lying on one side, with its hull exposed.
The rescue operation was co-ordinated by the Ushuaia coastguard.
Prices for the 19-day tour start from around $8,000 (£3,900) per cabin.
Gap Adventures said that before Friday's incident, the tour group had visited the Falkland Islands to spot black-browed albatrosses, before going to South Georgia to see Shackleton's grave and the king penguin colonies.
Coastguards said the weather conditions were good for this time of year, though the average temperature is still -5C.


Sean C & LV interview D.I.T.C. legend Buckwild discusses the importance of directly meeting and staying in contact with artists, misdirected beats such as the instrumental for "I Got A Story To Tell", which was originally created for and rejected by Foxy Brown, modern day A&R business issues, and the danger of giving away free beats.
I enjoyed this here..Good looking on the post Semantik.
Glad that you liked it. Buckwild is one my personal favorites.
It's great to hear this dude speak. He's made so many of my favorites and i've never really heard the man talk before.
Buck is a G… one of the few legend producers that take a minute to talk to new beat banger on the come up.
I really like Buck, I always have. He isreal an his beats are sick. He makes you really assess or look into why you are making beats and what you want to get out of being a producer.

Best to clean cut it, especially if there's decease in the upper section.
Good news being if you're cutting above the graft it will more than likely throw up some new shoots in spring and you'll be back to normal in a year or two. A picture of the deceased area would help.
Sharon, as you're new, you'll have to make a few more posts before you can add pics - i think it's 10, so stick around and you'll soon be able to add your photos.
You should be OK cutting it back cleanly as long as the break was above the line of the graft - this is where the fruiting type of the tree is joined to the root-stock.
If the place where it has broken is not the graft then you will have to cut off at least a little below the break. Generally there is little option, although I did tie a cherry branch back in and it merged back into the tree.
If mould then as that may be disease you may have to cut further down then you would like to. You need to cut back to healthy wood.
If the break is at the graft then unless you feel like practicing your apple grafting it will probably be easier to get another. You could read around on grafting and just have a go. You have nothing to lose if it fails and in a way a tree to gain if it works.
Seems fun especially if someone has an apple variety you like and will let you have a small bit of.
Assumoing you can cut the break out and the graft is low down then you need to think of maintaining a few (3 or 4) branches that you can train outwards as an umbrella shape.
Add the town you are in as a location, helps with some answers. Someone may have a bit of apple and willing to try a graft on your item.

Q: Spark insertInto failure using partition columns of different case. hive bug? I am testing use of PySpark's insertInto() method for inserting data into an existing table. I have hit upon a problem that I believe to be a consequence of a known bug and am seeking confirmation. I am also wondering if there is a workaround that I do not know of.
I am using Spark v2.2.1:

and, if this command is to be trusted, Hive v2.1.1

This code successfully creates a table and inserts data into it:
table_name = "default.insert_test"
sqlContext.sql("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS %s" % table_name)
sql = """
CREATE TABLE %s (col string)
PARTITIONED BY (pcol bigint)
STORED AS PARQUET
""" % table_name
sqlContext.sql(sql)
sqlContext.createDataFrame([('Alice', 1)], ['name', 'age'])\
.write.mode('overwrite').insertInto(table_name)

However this code (only difference is the upper casing of the partition column name):
table_name = "default.insert_test"
sqlContext.sql("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS %s" % table_name)
sql = """
CREATE TABLE %s (col string)
PARTITIONED BY (PCOL bigint)
STORED AS PARQUET
""" % table_name
sqlContext.sql(sql)
sqlContext.createDataFrame([('Alice', 1)], ['name', 'age'])\
.write.mode('overwrite').insertInto(table_name)

fails on the call to insertInto() with error:

AnalysisException:
  u'org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.Table.ValidationFailureSemanticException:
  Partition spec {pcol=, PCOL=1} contains non-partition columns;'

I know that I can workaround this problem by using Spark SQL's new CREATE TABLE syntax (see SPARK-18885 - unify CREATE TABLE syntax for data source and hive serde tables) like so:
table_name = "default.insert_test"
sqlContext.sql("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS %s" % table_name)
sql = """
CREATE TABLE %s (col string, PCOL bigint)
USING PARQUET
PARTITIONED BY (PCOL)
""" % table_name
sqlContext.sql(sql)
sqlContext.createDataFrame([('Alice', 1)], ['name', 'age'])\
.write.mode('overwrite').insertInto(table_name)

Unfortunately we have clients that have existing tables created using the old CREATE TABLE syntax thus its a scenario that we have to support.
My questions are:

*

*Is there a way that I don't know of to use insertInto() against
tables that exhibit this problem?

*Is HIVE-14032 - INSERT
OVERWRITE command failed with case sensitive partition key names
the underlying cause of what I am experiencing?

There's no question in my thoughts that the most prominent weight loss device in Rhone-Alpes France today is Garcinia Cambogia. It has actually been in the general public's perspective for a year or so. Last fall Dr. Oz provided it to be among the newest advanced findings in the field of weight loss.
Since then, garcinia's road to fame began. After a year the globe went crazy and now you see it everywhere. Everybody in Rhone-Alpes France is talking about it. Personalities have actually admitted to using it to enhance their weight loss initiatives.
The short answer is no. Due to its popularity opportunist, deceitful individuals in Rhone-Alpes France try to make a quick profit on the unwary public. There have actually been a variety of vendors shut down since they were selling phony garcinia products.
I truly wish you haven't fallen for their methods. There are a couple of means to find out if the pills that you are considering acquiring are worth the cash or otherwise.
First of all you have to check the country origins. I personally stay away from items made in Asia. The production and security environment is a joke. I a lot instead pay a little bit much more if I know that the garcinia that I'm acquiring was made in an FDA-approved laboratory.
Next you should take a look at the components selection. The easiest ways for scammers to cut edges is by including fillers and binders into the mix, and certainly overlooking the vital stuff that assists you burn fat.
In addition, fillers and binders can have major side effects. What you need to understand is that throughout the clinical test the physicians utilized Pure Garcinia Cambogia and the volunteers took care of to slim down without any side effects whatsoever. This is why it is important to simply take pure and top quality products in Rhone-Alpes France.
Whether you're a veteran viewer, somebody which simply delicately kips down, and even if you haven't ever before enjoyed his program, possibilities are you have actually come to know by this point that Dr. Oz advises garcinia cambogia.
Given that he first advised the therapy in fall of in 2012, the procedure has risen from relative obscurity to turned into one of the hottest commodities on the diet regimen and workout market in Rhone-Alpes France.
Lastly look at the HCA content. It should be at least 60 %. If it's lower than that you will be battling to see significant results. In the study they made use of 50 % HCA Garcinia Cambogia extract.
The HCA, as in Hydroxycitric Acid, is the component that really helps you slim down. This is the compound which tells your mind to feel fuller and instead of holding the fat deposits, to start burning it.
Even Dr. Oz stressed on his program that you should take pure items. If you locate the video clip you can see it for yourself.
Where to buy Garcinia Cambogia extract in Rhone-Alpes France?
I've been trying and testing several Garcinia Cambogia products. yet the one which gave me the very best outcomes was Pure Garcinia Cambogia. It's the very best choice online.
The maker of Pure Garcinia Cambogia prides itself on supplying the best product at a budget-friendly rate. Pure Garcinia Cambogia is a pure item and ONE HUNDRED % natural. It additionally contains 60 % HCA. It is the highest rated product among them all.
What are you waiting for? Do you intend to drop a couple of dress sizes easily? Pure Garcinia Cambogia is the remedy for you.
So, just how and why has Dr. Oz pertain to endorse this item? Allow's look.
Used in several recipes– featuring curry– the fruit can be found in Africa, India, and the Far East and has been revealed to contribute to healthy red cell, to name a few points. In addition, the high HCA content of the fruit, when effectively drawn out, can likewise offer a nutritional improve.
The marketplace today is flooded with products which are laboratory-tested and polished, which is all well and good, but also for some, particularly those with a view of medicine and physical fitness which is much more holistic and green in nature, this can be off-putting.
Hence, the truth that Dr. Oz suggests garcinia cambogia may be viewed as both an indication of and a reaction to the development in the all-natural motion in diet and nourishment circles. As an extract from a fruit, garcinia cambogia is as natural as it acquires, and could as a result both aid you burn fat and stick to an all-natural or green diet regimen and lifestyle.
Aside from all this, garcinia cambogia extract is a reliable fat buster. The supplement, effectively prepared, manages to metabolize cells in such a way about help clear excess fat deposits cells.
Furthermore, the supplement comes close to weight loss from a different angle, working outing as a dietary supplement. Garcinia cambogia working outs as an appetite suppressant, meaning that you'll manage to feel full while consuming less.
Needless to say, this could prove to be a great advantage when aiming to successfully start a diet plan program.

Barbour said it was important to select a person with Lott's "conservative values" and who would be able to work with Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, also a Republican. "I am a mainstream conservative in the mold of Trent Lott, Thad Cochran, Haley Barbour and [U.S. Rep.] Chip Pickering and I believe the vast majority of Mississipians share this philosophy," Wicker said at a news conference. A special election to fill Lott's seat is scheduled for Nov. 4.

More partnership working is needed to tackle rural crime issues
The National Rural Crime Survey released today shows growing demand on police from issues that need responses from across different authorities according to Lancashire's Police and Crime Commissioner.
The highest two reported issues in Lancashire were fly tipping and speeding, raised by 50% and 34% of respondents respectively. These came ahead of criminal damage (10%) and theft (9%).
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw said, "This survey shows that concerns about rural crime are a real issue in the county and I will be working with the Constabulary to understand how we can improve the service with the ever reducing resources available to us.
"The fact that the main issues aren't just for the police does show the impact that cuts across the public sector have on our communities. For years I have been saying that cuts to council services, and other partners, impact on the police.
"While there is a lot of work to be done to make rural communities feel safer, I am glad that the majority of residents in our rural communities have a positive view of the police overall."
Local authorities and the environment agency are responsible for dealing with fly tipping while the police work closely with councils and other partners through the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership to tackle speeding.
Superintendent Julian Platt, Lancashire Constabulary's lead on rural crime said, "Lancashire Constabulary have a strong policing offer for rural communities. However we realise that the backdrop of austerity has the potential to increase rural vulnerability and rural deprivation.
"Within our rural communities we have specially trained local officers who understand rural life, the challenges and how best to support our community. Recently, Lan
cashire has purchased new 4×4 vehicles to make sure these officers can extend our reach into rural Lancashire.
"We enjoy strong partnership working that joins up agencies and ensures we are more effective and while policing rural Lancashire in 2018 is presents tough challenges, by working together we can keep the whole county safe."
The survey was commissioned by the National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) which is made up of 30 Police and Crime Commissioners from across the country, including Lancashire. It is also supported by a wide range of other bodies with a deep interest in community safety and rural affairs.
Julia Mulligan, Chair of the NRCN, says the survey must be a wake-up call for those in positions of power:
"The National Rural Crime Network will continue to fight for rural communities, who should not have to put up with sub-standard services just because of where they live. This simply cannot be tolerated. Despite the passionate and professional police officers working incredibly hard day-in, day-out, them and the communities they serve are being let down because priorities lie elsewhere.
Research was carried out between 18 April and 10 June by independent research company The Buzzz. In total 20,252 responses were received from across England and Wales. 1,320 responses were received from residents in the Lancashire area.

Women's suffrage movement during the Progressive Era
Carrie Chapman Catt, Anna Howard Shaw, and Alice Paul were the major leaders of the women's suffrage movement during the Progressive Era. When Elizabeth Cady Stanton resigned as president of the National American Women SuffrageAssociation (NAWSA) in 1900, Carrie Chapman Catt and a new generation of women replaced her. National surf at surface age organization was established in 1969 went to competitive organizations were found one leg by a shoe and B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the other by Lucy Stone immediately after the Civil War in Sudan B Anthony a strong and outspoken advocate of women's rights demanded that the 14th Amendment included a guarantee of the vote for women as well as for African-American males and night at 1869 Anthony and Elizabeth Cady standing found the national women's surface age sociation assassination.
Environments a waveform background during 1890 through 1920 also known as the progressive era there were many reforms and introduced and passed among these reforms for health reforms in environmental and reforms during this time. Period there were Health regulations at factories also housing areas were not sanitary with people bunched up living together.Here was great interest during the Progressive Era (1900-1917) an investigation and amelioration of hazardous working conditions. President Theodore Roosevelt had championed the conservation movement and broadened its scope to include the saving of human life. It was but a short step from there to protecting the lives and limbs of industrial workers. Through settlement houses and other urban social work, reformers aided workers and their families and entreated employers to eliminate dangerous working conditions and other abuses.
Muckraking journalists and others gave nationwide publicity to accidents and unsafe conditions.113From 1902 to 1907 The Factory Inspector, an unofficial journal of the Inter¬national Association of Factory Inspectors, regularly published accounts gathered by state labor bureaus of industrial accidents. The steel industry produced some of the most violent accidents that this journal reported. At a steel mill in Butler, Pennsylvania, a heavy pot of hot metal spilled molten steel onto wet sand, causing a huge explosion which destroyed part of the plant. Streams of hot metal poured down on the workmen, engulfing and literally cooking some of them. Four men died and 30 more were injured.
The explosion shook buildings in the town and caused panic among the populace. Thousands turned out to watch the huge fire that ensued.114 Two employees at a steel plant in Youngstown, Ohio were sent to clean out the dust underneath the blast furnaces. Suddenly there was a slippage of tons of molten fuel and ore inside the furnace, causing large amounts of very hot dust to fall on them. One of the men was completely buried in it and died in great agony. The other escaped with severe burns.

This collection consists of the professional papers of American astronomer Alfred Harrison Joy (1882-1973) and contains correspondence and research files related to Joy's study of stellar radial velocities, variable stars, T Tauri stars, and galactic structure. There is also an extensive amount of material related to Joy's involvement with the American Astronomical Society and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific in the collection.
Alfred Harrison Joy was a distinguished stellar astronomer who spent most of his professional career at the Mount Wilson Observatory. His work on stellar radial velocities, variable stars, and galactic structure in the early twentieth century laid the groundwork for the rapidly expanding field of astrophysics. His pioneering work, his long tenure at Mount Wilson, his central roles in the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and American Astronomical Society, and his position as Secretary of the Observatory make him a significant figure in the history of astronomy.
