Electronic Warfare Market Size, 2020 Industry Share and Global Demand | 2027 Forecast by Fortune Business Insights™
The global electronic warfare market is anticipated to gain momentum from the ever-increasing technological advancements and the rising adoption of cyber EW worldwide. Cyber EW helps in refining the offensive and defensive purposes. It is capable of covering a wide range of cyberspace and the electromagnetic environment. This information is given by Fortune Business Insights™ in a new report, titled, "Electronic Warfare Market Size, Share & Covid-19 Impact Analysis, By Domain (Electronic Attack, Electronic Protection, and Electronic Support), By Equipment (Jammers, Antennas, Radar Warning Receiver, Anti-radiation Missiles, Directed Energy Weapons, and Others), By Platform (Air-based, Sea-based, Land-based), and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027." The report further states that the electronic warfare market size was USD 26.50 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 29.46 billion by 2027, thereby exhibiting a CAGR of 4.81% during the forecast period. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world to a complete halt. Even though some of the manufacturing companies have resumed their operations, certain norms, such as social distancing and low workforce are to be followed mandatorily. The pandemic has also affected the supply chains and business confidence severely. Our report will help you to overcome such situations by adopting the best strategy provided by our team of highly skilled analysts.
This Report Answers the Following Questions: • What are the current market trends? • What are the challenges and opportunities in the market? • Which segment is set to dominate the market? • How are the companies trying to generate sales of EW to compete in the market?
Drivers & Restraints- Integration of UAVs & Electronic Warfare Systems to Spur Growth Over the past few years, the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the military forces across the globe has surged. It occurred because of the monitoring, imagery mapping, and surveillance of combat operations. The integration of surveillance data and imagery with EW can provide more information about the situational awareness. It is a major factor that is set to contribute to the electronic warfare market growth in the coming years. Several prominent companies and ruling bodies are investing huge sums in the exploitation of this relationship between the EW and the UAVs. However, EE systems are very expensive. Hence, the developing countries prefer conventional systems. It may hinder the market growth.
Segment- Electronic Support Segment to Lead Owing to Rising Demand for ISR from Defense Sector In terms of domain, the market is segregated into electronic support, electronic protection, and electronic attack. Out of these, the electronic support segment is expected to exhibit the largest electronic warfare market share in the coming years and remain in the leading position. This growth is attributable to the high demand for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) techniques and equipment from the defense sector worldwide.
Regional Analysis- Presence of Numerous Industry Giants to Favor Growth in Europe Geographically, North America held USD 9.28 billion in terms of revenue in 2018. This growth is attributable to the rising terrorism, as well as political and territorial disputes occurring in this region. In addition to that, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is set to invest approximately USD 25.8 billion in the research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) in the coming years. Also, it is planning to spend around USD 27.8 billion to procure electronic warfare systems. It would also propel the market growth in this region. Europe, on the other hand, is set to remain in the second position stoked by the presence of major companies, such as Saab AB, BAE Systems, and Thales Group in this region. Also, the rising investments in the development and procurement of electronic warfare systems would augment growth. Asia Pacific would exhibit rapid growth backed by the need to enhance the warfighting capabilities of the defense forces in the developing countries, such as India and China.
Competitive Landscape- Renowned Companies Focus on Receiving New Contracts from the Defense Forces The market is fragmented with the presence of a large number of companies worldwide. Amongst them, Lockheed Martin Corporation is in the top position on account of its persistent research and development activities to unveil state-of-the-art products in the market. Nowadays, several companies are focusing on bagging new contracts from government agencies to deliver their in-house products.
List of the Top Players Profiled in Electronic Warfare Market Research Report are: • Lockheed Martin Corporation Overview • BAE Systems • Raytheon Company • General Dynamics Corporation • L3Harris Technologies Inc. • The Boeing Company • Thales Group • Leonardo SPA • Northrop Grumman Corporation • Saab AB • Teledyne Technologies • Israel Aerospace Industries • Cobham PLC
Below are a couple of the latest industry developments: • January 2020: Lockheed Martin Corporation received a new contract from the U.S. Navy. It is worth USD 43 million. It would help the company to upgrade the E-2D AN/ALQ-217 Electronic Support Measures (ESM) system of the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. • January 2019: The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SPAWAR) provided a five-year contract worth USD 898 million to General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) for Navy Cyber Mission Engineering Support. • April 2019: The U.S. Navy awarded a new contract to Harris Corporation to manufacture and provide Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) jammers. These are meant for the F/A-18C/D/E/F variants.

Mr Beer Brewing Kit Review (2019 Updated) Is It Worth Buying?
A lot of folks want to try home brewing but don't have the time or the inclination to track down all the necessary equipment. They'd like a simpler way to get started. Of course, where there's a need, there's going to be someone to fill it. Enter the Mr Beer Brewing kit.
The Mr Beer Kit comes with everything you'll need to embark on your home brewing career including a fermenting keg, reusable plastic bottles, caps, labels, 2 refill packs and all grain extract and other ingredients you'll need. But does it work? Let's take a look.
3 Is The Mr Beer Brewing Kit Worth Buying?
The Mr Beer Premium Gold Edition kit expands on the company's earlier offerings making it simpler than ever to brew quality craft beer without the hassle of tracking down all the various components and ingredients on your own.
If you're a realist, you don't buy the Mr. Beer craft beer kit expecting to produce award-winning results and you won't. And that's fine. What you will get if you follow the instructions carefully is a decent batch of home brew to show off to your buddies and something maybe even more valuable: an idea of what's involved in making home brew so you can decide if it's something you want to pursue in earnest.
The Mr Beer home brewery kit makes brewing your own beer as easy as pie. Easier actually because baking a pie takes practice, patience and a deft touch with the ingredients. With Mr Beer, all the mystery is taken out of the process along with most of the risk. Just mix the ingredients, let it ferment for 3 weeks, bottle and carbonate using the enclosed pills, wait 3 more weeks and serve.
There's no boiling the wort, making the mash, straining and sparging, chilling the wort or shopping for the ingredients and equipment. Brew meisters everywhere will scoff, but you'll end up with an appreciation of the beer making process along with something you can actually drink. Which doesn't always happen when you do it all yourself.
Everything you need to create decent home brew is included.
You'll get a real idea of the ingredients and processes involved in craft brewing.
Components within the kit are reusable.
The Mr Beer Home Brew kit is the equivalent of a paint by numbers kit. You're not going to achieve Rembrandt style results with a paint by numbers kit, and you're not going to create an award-winning craft beer with this kit. So the key to happiness when it comes to beer kits is tempering expectations.
That said there are a couple of potential shortfalls to the Mr Beer Premium Gold Edition kit. First of all, once you've run through all the ingredients, your options are limited. If you want to brew some more using the equipment that came with the kit you can either purchase more ingredients from their website or go through the trouble of tracking everything down yourself.
Second, if you're environmentally conscious, all the plastic may turn you off (if it does, check out our other product recommendations here). On the other hand, if you are truly environmentally conscious, you'll make sure any components of the Mr Beer kit that wind up unused once your experiment with home brewing is over will find their way to the recycling center.
Is The Mr Beer Brewing Kit Worth Buying?
That depends entirely on what you want out of the process. If you are looking for a simple, pain-free way to win the gold medal at the local craft beer festival, you're likely going to be disappointed. If, however, what you want is to have some fun and learn something about brewing beer in the process then the Mr Beer home brewery kit might be exactly what the doctor ordered.
You actually get quite a bit for your money and, as most Mr Beer reviews demonstrate, the company is not in the business of ripping people off. So if you've always wanted to learn more about brewing beer and you want to have something to show for your efforts give the Mr Beer kit a try. You won't be disappointed.

Q: Javascript Promise Logic Assistance I'm having trouble creating an indicator for a promise to resolve. I have a function that I need to trigger 10 similar statements as follows:
if(x>someNum){
object['NewProperty']=someVal;
}

At the end of the function I'd like to return the object with all the added properties. Currently it returns undefined as I'm guessing the return happens before the if statements finish running. I know I need a promise but I can't think of a logical check I could have to indicate a 'resolve'. Here's what my current function is:
function addProperties(){
  const objectPromise = new Promise((resolve,reject)=>{
    if(x>someNum){
     object['NewProperty']=someVal;
    }
    if(x>someNum){
     object['NewProperty2']=someVal2;
    }
    if(x>someNum){
     object['NewProperty3']=someVal3;
    }
    resolve();
});
objectPromise.then(function(){return object});
}

It still returns undefined and I think it's because the resolve is triggered while other code is still running, any help on logic I could use to indicate a true resolve would be appreciated!


Anyway, I just recently came to realization that we have reached a historical point in the evolution of Project Management Software. For the first time in the history, we have a single platform that is robust and comprehensive, yet flexible enough to be adjusted to any project management process and methodology. That platform I am talking about is Office 365 and SharePoint. Let me explain.
If you google "project management software", you will and up with literally hundreds of software vendors offering a myriad of online software tools to manage projects online. From simple task management solutions to broad, PMO-style solutions to manage projects, programs, people, risks and tasks. They all have a particular niche they serve and I am sure have a strong unique selling point that sets them apart from competition.
All of the existing solutions available on the market today essentially offer you a bundle of those features above in some shape or form. Up until recently, Microsoft, had its own stake in the ground with a variety of tools to achieve the above. However, they lacked the eco-system to pull it all together. While you had MS Office suite (Word, Excel, etc.), to author documents, you had to store them on some file share or network drive. While you had MS Project to create comprehensive project plans and Gantt charts, there was no easy way to communicate those tasks to stakeholders. While you had cool-looking calendars in Outlook, they were not integrated with anything and were useless from project management standpoint. And Risk Management – let's just say that the best you could do is list them in Excel and email to your boss via Outlook.
That has changed recently with introduction of Office 365 in 2011. For the first time, Microsoft pulled in all of its valuable tools (MS Office, Outlook, SharePoint) into a one-stop shop eco-system. Not only all the tools are in one place, they now are also integrated together and "talk to each other". While this is a fundamental change for all industries slated to use Office 365, this is a true game changer for the Project Management Software industry and practice. Let me explain major characteristics that set Office 365 and SharePoint apart from its competition (other project management software vendors).
How is Office 365 different from other Project Management Software?
No Project is the same. Do you have a quick and easy project? Just start an Office 365 Group and collaborate in a matter of minutes with your team. Need something more long-term and expandable? SharePoint Team Site to the rescue. I have actually created the whole blog post and slide deck on this very topic, which you may access here.
None of the tools out there do a better job being integrated together. Why? Because it comes in naturally for Microsoft suite of applications. Outlook, Word, Excel, MS Project, MS Visio, SharePoint are all native Microsoft tools that are now magically talking to each other. This is absolutely critical and fundamental from Project Management perspective. Your users have been using these tools for the last 10-15 years. They are already familiar with all them. There is no need to learn new 3rd party software. Because of tight integration, the difference is a value-add for your project teams who can eliminate some manual steps and duplicate entries thy used to perform previously. For example, want to surface up all the tasks from your MS Project in SharePoint Task List? No problem, just seamlessly sync the two.
One of the reasons lots of the 3rd party project management software options became popular was due to the fact that they were all in the cloud and allowed for easy access and sharing of information from any place. Historically, this was never the case with Microsoft tools. Everyone used MS Office and MS Project and file shares strictly within their organizational network. There was no easy way to access (unless you VPN) or share content with external clients (unless you knew someone real well in your IT department). Office 365 changed that playing field. Just like the Berlin wall came down in 1989, the Microsoft firewall came down in 2011 with introduction of Office 365. All of the sudden, you could check your Outlook email while sitting at home, share the latest version of the Project Charter with your boss by clicking a share button in SharePoint or OneDrive and access all your project files on a SharePoint Project Team Site while munching your dinner at the hotel.
One feature that already exists and will continue to evolve in SharePoint/Office 365 is the Search capability. We live in the world that is search-driven. We can't imagine our life without Google. Same logic applies to Project Management. You want to be able to easily find a document from a project someone did 3 years ago. Or you want to roll up all the incomplete tasks from all your high-risk projects. It has become possible with the introduction of robust search mechanism in SharePoint 2013. True, it is not something that is easily done just out of the box, but the option is on the table and the beauty is that you can configure your search and data roll-up anyway you wish. I am sure this feature will continue to evolve and we will see the best of it in years to come.
In summary, in my opinion, Office 365 and SharePoint are the perfect fit for Project management and vice versa. This is not a statement I would stay behind just few years ago. However, with the recent changes in the cloud space and latest advances in Office 365, I believe we are on track to see an industry-changing shift in how we manage projects and what tools we will be using to do that.

To a barbarian, though, civilization is no virtue, but a sign of weakness. The strong embrace their animal nature, keen instincts, primal physicality, and ferocious rage. Barbarians are uncomfortable when hedged in by walls and crowds. They thrive in the wilds of their homelands: the tundra, jungle, or grasslands where their tribes live and hunt.
And, as I think I mentioned before, as a barbarian you could have a totem spirit. Mine was the bear.
At 3rd level, when you adopt this path, you choose a totem spirit and gain its feature. You must make or acquire a physical totem object- an amulet or similar adornment—that incorporates fur or feathers, claws, teeth, or bones of the totem animal.
I just thought it would be cute to mention this, since you were talking about our names and Bera was first the name of my DnD character and only after that became my name here.
The most interesting thing is that when I chose this name, I had no idea I was an Se user. But when Auburn confirmed it, I immediately thought that Bera seemed to fit the Se profile. Then I analyzed for a while if I did too. In a way, the realization that Auburn might be right and I might be an Se lead started with Bera (my DnD character), as it was obvious she was an Se lead.
Hey, guys! Is Beta O'Rouke FeSi too or at least Alpha? He gives me major Obama vibes.
This reply was modified 1 month ago by Fae.
I want to point out one other thing just on this thread, which is a small sample set. My name is "Animal" and Bera's is "Bera." We both made a catchy, easy-to-remember name, with a clear theme, obvious associations and an embodied point to make.
You are sensor first, followed by feeling – yet your user name is a collection of letters that can't even be pronounced, and I have to look back each time I type in order to remember it. Puffs and Rondo are both spelled out names, but the meanings are more elusive and don't evoke a 'body.' Puffs comes closest, in that I can actually picture something physical – like puffs of smoke. But that's smoke. Something that your hand goes right through, and that doesn't stay and leave a visceral impression. The most embodied name among Alphas here is Auburn, which is a color; but not an animal or a visceral being or concept. Other Gamma names on the forum are very "is what it is" and viscerally evocative also. Thanatesque, Arya, etc.
What about Fae/Faerie? Though I have to say it wasn't a spontaneously chosen name. It was suggested I pick an easier name with an easier nickname and everyone was saying I was giving them twins vibes with 'Tea time', so I thought of a similarly abstract name but one that was also about something I was personally fond of and came up with Faerie Tale. Then on the second day I realized that just the first one would do/was complete, and dropped 'Tale'. Then Jelle nicknamed me Fae and that stuck so much, it became almost like a second real name I have. If someone shouts "Fae" somewhere IRL, I swear I'll turn around without remembering (at least for a few seconds) that they used my CT name.
Also, Puffs name didn't make think of smoke. It made me think of a short, plump, Black man. The exact opposite of what he actually is, lol. And I always thought Kaze was a freckled ginger of medium height, like a real life version of Archie Andrews. I don't remember where my ginger association with Kaze came from but with Puff it was his name. He used to have the word 'Cheese' in front of it, I think it was 'Cheeseumpuffs' or something like that. And that kinda mixed up in my head as "A shorter, plumper Diddy/PuffDaddy," somehow.
The parts of the world that I love are the eternal, infinite ones: nature, the human heart, animals, colors, motion.
Me too! Only I wouldn't include colour on my list. The human condition, the human experience, nature, and ultimate reality.
I'm only interested in history or politics insofar as it reveals trends to me that are universal. I very very much agree with what Auburn said, that the interactions occurring here may be occurring ad nauseum in other places throughout time – and this is how I tend to view 'the patterns behind' my interactions in general.
I guess this is the whole fractals thing. Strangely, it never resonates with me. I have a hard time thinking of that as the "real real", you know? We had a long debate about it on the chat sometime ago, I believe. I don't see nature/the world/reality in 'shapey' or Math terms but more like fluid/'flamey' terms. Definite patterns and fixed shapes feel very unnatural to me.
puffs' name is indeed a shortening of Cheeseumpuffs, which was my first ever email I made when i was in sixth grade and since no one ever uses the username, it's a guaranteed first try name when I'm making new accounts on pretty much every site ever.
it's not meant to mean or evoke anything, and i'm perturbed by how much ego people seem to have placed around the identity since it is — while not meant to imply it by the name — essentially smoke, as animal said.
At the moment my current username I'm using more often (usually for online chess these days) is slabadoof.
This reply was modified 1 month ago by asmodeus, king of demons.
Your name evokes something whether you like it or not. Sounds like it ended up 'accidentally' evoking what you actually feel 😀 in the sense of, identity being smoke. I find that this type of 'accidental revealing the real truth of what you feel' happens more often than people realize, when it comes to what they wear, how they name themselves, etc.
Also, the way you describe identity as 'smoke' and you're perturbed by the ego in it – I call this "ego in no ego." It isn't any less ego-driven than anyone else; rather, it's an investment in seeing yourself as uninvested in ego.
oh no, i'm all ego these days — that's not what i'm trying to say — following the smoke is showing signs of fire to come, for sure.
i just don't see puffs as an identity that fully represents me anymore, to the extent that it — and the many other names, nicknames, games and "identity evasions" i create — is a sort of smoky haze that circles around and between myself and others and when i see people latch on to the names it gives the distinct impression that that's where they've decided to stop in terms of their understanding of who you are.
the ego being built around puffs at this point is mostly built by y'all folks, i think. not me.
I've made a few notes over time regarding Ne-leads and names.
Many, if not all, the Ne's I've enjoyed interacting with online have had a habit of playing with their name as part of Ne's "wordplay" attribute. We saw this for a period of time on Discord when all the Ne's were name-switching for fun, like Tea and Fae, or in the way Puffs, Linus, Phibious and Heresy play with their name in response to the latest server meme.
The other pattern I've seen is that my Ne acquaintances/friends often choose usernames literally on a whim. Anything from a word they heard that morning, or some fourth-wall-break like a user named "myusernameistaken." It's funny to them at the moment, and witty. Ne's generally have witty names, I find, but they're never too exceedingly attached to the name itself at first. It's also not meant to be representative of them – it's an idea. And Ne's noncommittal nature to any one rendition (of a name) is only mitigated by Si's nostalgic attachment. What you get is a randomly made name that becomes a grandfathered alias.
Yes, in the case of Ne, it seems like what says something about them is the process in which they choose names, rather than one specific name itself. I would argue that their choices still reveal something about them, even if their process did not involve thinking "what does this say about me?" Because they literally could pick any word in the universe, so the ones they choose reveal something, at least about how their minds work, even if not something that defines their central identity. Also, the pattern of words over time reveals something about their 'style' or personal touch.
But in Delta Fi-heavies, the name choices tend to evolve around a few concepts that say something about them in a very direct obvious way. Alphas (on the whole) seem more willing to throw out the idea of identity for the whim and the wordplay; whereas Deltas (on the whole) seem to incorporate the wordplay into some sort of personal Fi ideal or message.
What you get is a randomly made name that becomes a grandfathered alias.
i actually had a dnd character for a bit that was a half-orc barbarian i named Asmod after asmodeus.


Harpswell learns about the rising sea level and the possible impacts.
Taken from a recent article in the Forecaster by Peter L. McGuire.
Recently, Peter Slovinsky, a geologist with Maine Geological Survey presented the future risks of flooding at a workshop at the town office in Harpswell. The workshop was the first step to sketching out how Harpswell will meet the challenges presented by rising seas.
Maine Geological Survey has been mapping the state's coast with airborne radar and using advanced modeling to create a geographic template with estimated future water levels "We're trying to create data that municipalities can use in a plethora of different ways," Slovinsky said.
Using data gathered from the Portland tide gauge, scientists predict that warming oceans and melting icecaps will push local sea levels up a foot by 2050 and as much as 3 feet by 2100, Slovinsky said.
Scott Hastings, of the Midcoast Council of Governments, noted Harpswell may get off lightly under most of the MGS scenarios.
MCOG is working with Harpswell and other southern mid-coast communities to work on resilience strategies, he said. It is providing its sea level maps free of charge through its website.

She recently visited and was struck by how much she loved the architecture...and one building in particular...which she found out used to be the home of T. S. Eliot. She decided to include a poem by Eliot as part of her memory cloth series. On this piece, Barbara combined hand painted and hand stitched lettering along with appliqued fabric "bits".
The fourth theme we covered in To Tell a Story with Cloth: Impressions, Connections, and Memories was Word Impressions. For this class, I asked students to bring in poetry, personal correspondence, favorite family sayings or to choose words that appeared in their journal (for example...words from their Mind Map from Class #2). We talked about different ways to get words onto fabric including: writing with permanent marker (such as Micron pens), printing, applique and stitching.
There were so many possibilities that most students worked on printing techniques during Class #4 and stitching techniques in Class #5. I'm including both in this post and will feature finished work and works in progress in the next (and final) blog post.
Ann Z.: Ann used adhesive foam letter stamps for some of her words and incised others in craft foam. Her pieces focused on memories of the beach.
Printing techniques included carved Speedy Carve blocks, incised craft foam, embossed aluminum and freezer paper stencils.
Alice A.: A quote referencing a Mary Oliver poem. Alice used embossed aluminum.
Judith K.-P.: Japanese for "creativity"...part of Judith's continuing series on Japan. She used incised craft foam.
Jan B.: Jan's father was a math teacher. This was one of his favorite sayings! Jan used foam letter stamps.
Jan B.: While going through some old papers, Jan found this page of math problems handwritten by her father. The other side is a set of mimeographed word problems (also handwritten)!
Jan B.: Incised craft foam block prints based on her father's diagrams.
Judy M.: As part of her series about her grandmother and the cottage on Lake Michigan, Judy decided to reference some of the poetry that her grandmother used to read to her. This print is made from an incised craft foam block.
Karol L.: This is the title of the book that Karol's mother wrote. She is planning on including it as part of her piece about the Eastern shore (see the link to the post below on Significant Object Portraits). This was printed with embossed aluminum.
Karol L.: Karol also incised the book title in craft foam.
Stitching techniques included turned and raw edge applique and reverse applique. I made some samples to inspire the students.
Julie Booth: Turned and raw edge applique and reverse applique.
Barbara C.: Raw edge applique letters to spell London.
I also had fun working on some stitch samplers featuring different stitches. I'm continuing to work on more samplers. Lots of potential with stitch combinations!
Julie Booth: Words using different stitches.
Ann Z: Stitched words inspired by Rachel Carson.
Below are links to some of the other posts about this class.
If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, I will be teaching this as an evening class this coming fall (dates TBA). Please feel free to contact me.

Update from Standing Rock
Posted Feb 10, 2017 by Lauren Regan
Ecology, Movements, State RepressionUnited StatesNewsFeatured
I wanted to share a short update from Standing Rock regarding a multitude of travesties that have occurred there this week. Unfortunately, things are only going to be getting more intense out there—both at Standing Rock and around the country. CLDC is about to hire a 3rd lawyer, a new organizer, and we will be gearing up to take everything up a notch….we will have your back if you are engaged in environmental, climate or social justice resistance. So right now, CLDC is one of the lead attorneys on the civil rights class action against the cops, we represent Sophia Wilansky (see below), we have taken on criminal representation for all the folks arrested on 11/15, and we continue to work every day with the Water Protector Legal Collective—including attempting to always try to make things better there and make sure that more radical resistance lawyering is present. Here is my short update on a few of the more important law-based issues that have come up regarding Standing Rock this week alone:
1) Trump was elected and sworn in. Nuff said. He signed an Executive Order pushing the climate denial greed and financial gain of his friends in the oil and gas industry, specifically pushing the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Keystone XL Pipeline—both climate travesties hurt communities, will not increase jobs, and endanger water and the environment.
(2) The Army Corps of Engineers has no backbone and caved to this unethical pressure and granted the final easement necessary by Energy Transfer Partners and DAPL without complying with federal law and without completing the required Environmental Impact Statement and review.
(3) The tribe has rushed into Court to challenge this repudiation of tribal sovereignty and binding environmental law, but it will likely be too late.
(4) Water protectors solemnly watched as the DAPL drills fired up from behind the militarized impenetrable bunkers that guard the drill site, and it is my understanding that as of this morning, drilling has commenced under the Missouri River.
(5) The Tribe continues to officially request that supporters and allies do not come back to Oceti Sakowin at this time. We hope for more information and rationale from the tribe soon.
(6) 74 Water Protectors were arrested on February 3rd, including former Congressional candidate Chase Iron Eyes, after they set up teepees at a new camp, "the Last Child" camp, which was located out of the flood plain where the current main camp sits. Iron Eyes and others were charged with felony inciting a riot, which carries up to a 5-year prison sentence if convicted. Overzealous cops once again subjected nonviolent water protectors to excessive force and then destroyed the new camp.
(7) A few days ago, US District Judge Daniel Hovland denied our request for Preliminary Injunction without even affording the parties a hearing on the matter, as is the normal practice in federal court. The case is the federal class action lawsuit, Dundon, et. al v. Kirchmeier et. al, that was filed after multiple law enforcement agencies violated Water Protectors civil and constitutional rights by using indiscriminate and excessive force on November 20th at the Backwater Bridge. Our client, Sophia Wilansky had her arm almost entirely blown off by law enforcement who launched a grenade directly at her, gravely injuring her. Dozens of other water protectors were also seriously injured by munitions, grenades and water cannons that were used on protestors for the first time since Selma, AL in the 1960's. The conduct of law enforcement at Standing Rock has been deplorable, illegal, and one of the clearest violations of federal law that I have ever witnessed in the protest context.
(8) In the aftermath of this police abuse, the FBI launched an investigation alleging that our client, 21-year-old Sophia Wilansky, was somehow responsible for her own injuries. Instead of investigating the clear police abuse, the FBI appears to be attempting to scapegoat the victim (once again).
(9) A federal grand jury was convened in Bismarck and at least one Water Protector, Steve Martinez, who drove Sophia from the bridge to an ambulance after her grave injury, was subpoenaed to testify. Steve immediately obtained attorney representation and has been resisting the grand jury at each step. He is next scheduled to appear in front of the grand jury on March 1st. You can never know for sure what the real target of a secret grand jury investigation is—cops/FBI are allowed to lie and they often do when it comes to the underlying basis for an investigation.
(10) Recently at least 3 water protectors have been contacted by FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force Officers (US Department of Justice, FBI, Joint Terrorism Task Force, Task Force Officer was the full title on the business cards they left). Agents appeared to have been attempting "knock and talks" where FBI shows up without a warrant or subpoena and hopes that people will consent to voluntary cooperation with the government. In each case, the Water Protectors did the right thing: they asserted their 5th Amendment right to remain silent, did not make any statements or conversation with the agents, and then immediately called a lawyer for representation. Any water protector who is contacted by law enforcement is welcome to call the CLDC and we will help you find excellent lawyer representation for free.
(11) Finally, for now, there are 3 water protectors who have been federally indicted and are facing very serious charges in federal court in Bismarck. These three people are being held by police in connection to water protection at Standing Rock, this information is from Water Protector Anti-Repression Crew.
Rattler is a Water Protector who is currently being held pre-trial on federal felony charges produced through a grand jury indictment. Rattler's home is at Pine Ridge and he comes from a long legacy of struggle that he continued at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access Pipeline and its world. Please support Rattler as he fights these charges brought against him by the federal government. Rattler would love to receive your letters and cards of support.
Rattler loves fantasy fiction and Dungeons and Dragons material. He'd appreciate something to read while he is inside.

Red Fawn Fallis is still being held pre-trial on federal charges as well. Red Fawn has shown her dedication to the water, the earth and all that is sacred. Her spirits remain high despite the ways in which the state hopes to squash her. Please send your support to Red Fawn through letters!

Charles Jordan has been held in Morton County Jail since November 17th, 2016 on three state felony charges. He was initially ineligible for bond and his current conditions of release set by the court are unable to be met at this time. His brutal arrest is not the only time Morton County Sheriffs enacted such violence on Water Protectors. We have received reports of continued mistreatment while in custody including lack of medical services and hygiene access for weeks at a time. Please send Charles a letter letting him know that he is not alone!

Getting your Office suite up and running on Linux
Date Thu 04 July 2019 Tags analytics / social media
Different distributions have chosen varying approaches to file placement, software management, and other subtleties, in such a way that makes it almost impossible to make an applications distribution that will install and run cleanly across the Linux spectrum. For people wanting to become more than just casual users, it can be instructive to install Linux several times, each time trying different combinations of options. Indeed, in the case of Linux-based cash registers, it would in all likelihood be a security risk to release the code to a wide audience. Many developers believe this open-source model makes Linux inherently more secure than a proprietary operating system.
File formats and conventions
If the amount of free memory is low, physical pages may need to be discarded or written to the swap device. In order to be accessed, a file must first be opened. What we call the Linux operating system today is really the combination of two efforts from the early 1990s. (There are a few instance where a particular option requires an argument to go with it and those options generally have to be placed separately along with their corresponding argument.
Understanding the fundamentals of sshfs
Linux modules are lumps of code that can be dynamically linked into the kernel at any point after the system has booted. Institutions that invest in open source software as part of an institutional mixed software economy that includes open source retain the flexibility to adapt to changed circumstances and challenges. People who are completely new to open source software often wonder how a group of random people can throw code together with a resulting stable product used by millions of people. You may need to go through several rounds of resubmission and additional feedback before your code is accepted, and in some cases it may be rejected.
Answered - your most burning access questions
This is also true for a number of major system tasks where the hardware and software must cooperate closely to achieve their aims. A process that has terminated, but has not yet been waited upon, is called a zombie. After installation has been completed, the next step should be to start exploring some of the numerous application programs that are automatically included in the installation. Gaz Hall, an SEO Expert from the UK, said: "Yet the human factor is probably one of the most significant in not only how smoothly the actual Linux conversion goes but also how well it is adopted and beneficial to your organization."
The commands are themselves programs: when they terminate, the shell gives the user another prompt (% on our systems). Before there was ext, there was the MINIX filesystem. It wakes up the sleeping process making it available to be restarted the next time the scheduler runs. The early popularity of distributions like Slackware and then Red Hat gave the "common PC user" of the 1990s access to the Linux operating system and, with it, many of the proprietary Unix system capabilities and utilities they used in their work or academic lives.

On Sunday 4th February NRN invited people from as many different publishing backgrounds as we could muster to talk to our new researchers about ways to share their work with the world. We covered the traditional- journals and monographs- to aspects of non traditional- journalism and creative practice.
For those who couldn't join us here are some key take-aways from the event.
Each panelist offered their own personal experience of editing- and managed to reassure us all that Journal publishing isn't as terrifying as you might have heard. Hearing from three experienced editors who clearly had the interests of writers in mind as well as the quality of their publication was a reassuring experience.
1) The editor reads essay or abstract really quickly & tries to find the right readers for you. Ideally on the editorial board, but the goal is to find the best person.
2) Readers send back a report of scholarly rigor, significance, interest, and fit for the journal.
5) Revise, send it back, and explain what changed. It gets another read… and then is published!
Naturally much of the conversation turned to peer review and they assured that it's okay to push back about notes from your reviewers, but make sure you have well-reasoned arguments for doing so. Remember you are the expert on your subject and if there's valid reason for questioning what a reviewer has said an editor will appreciate that. But first take time to reflect on the feedback. Don't just respond because you feel hurt and angry. The panel also added that- in layman's terms- some peer reviewers are just jerks. It's not good, it's not good practice and don't be a jerk if you're a peer reviewer, and try not to take it personally if you get one who is a jerk.
Finally, remember that Journal staff are all volunteers. Respect their time- and them.
All of our panelists here had very different approaches to the publishing process- and had been involved in the 'traditional' process as well as striking out on their own. A nice element to see was that a balance between the two was possible, and that a more 'creative' approach to publishing is also feasible.
In the more 'traditional' end Charlotte Mathieson talked through the process of turning your PhD into a book. As a starting point looking through the works you used in writing the PhD and seeing who published them is a starting point. Following this, looking around more widely in the field at the new and popular works and who publishes those. Once you find a publisher you may not get a contract if it's your first book- which can be good and bad- no deadlines to be held to but can add to a feeling of precariousness. In practical terms turning it into a book and be prepared to take some time over re-writing it.
Our panelists on other means of publication were very different in output styles- Victoria Cooper's work focuses on new media and digital outputs for publishing while Camilla Nelson's publications bridge artisan work and publishing. Having such diverse approaches proves how diverse a field publishing your research work can be. And how you can in the creative sector particularly bridge practice and research with your publishing.
Both speakers were keen to stress that firstly think of creating a recognisable 'brand' that you display on all your social media output/ website etc- even if you are going down the artisan route. For both as well thinking about the audience for your publications should be at the heart of the work. Finally some great advice that if you feel like the integrity of your project will be compromised by the traditional book format or traditional publishing process, don't be afraid to experiment.
There are lots of different publication avenues available to you. Also, if your work doesn't fit into an established avenue, invent your own!
This panel showed that there is a place for academics to publish work outside academia- whether that's because you choose to focus your work there or just as a nice add on to the 'traditional' academic publishing market.
One great starting point to keep in mind is that unlike with academic journals, it's sometimes okay to email an editor without a super concrete idea, especially if you are just interested in reviewing things for them. But remember that most outlets already have a drama critic, so make sure you're only pitching work that they actually have freelancers do– essays, profiles- as with academic journals, spending time looking at the work they make first will help you pitch.
Unlike in academic publishing however you can be persistent! Especially in non-academic media, you'll often get a lot of "no"s because the work is so time-based. Just keep trying, and eventually you'll hit on the right idea at the right time. Unless they tell you that your style/ideas just fundamentally aren't a good fit– then try somewhere else.
For those just wanting to try out another style of writing Student newspaper/blogs show editors that you are interested in what you're writing about- and aren't just there for undergrads!
In the subject line put the idea, the in the body of the email flesh this out in 1-2 sentences, add in date it can be completed by, who you are and what you've worked on before.
And finally a couple of tricks and 'hacks': always address the person by the correct name, prefix- don't risk annoying them before you start. But if you're pitching somewhere and can't find an email – try a sneaky firstname.lastname@company.com to try and get your work to the right people.

More Records for Contemporary Art
By CAROL VOGEL NOV. 18, 1999
Prices soared at Sotheby's sale of contemporary art last night, when works by blue-chip artists like Marcel Duchamp and Mark Rothko, Alexander Calder and Sam Francis sold for more than ever before.
The sale totaled $56.2 million, $10 million more than its high estimate. Of the 68 works offered, 63 found buyers. Nine records were set.
Sotheby's runaway success felt far more solid than Christie's smaller sale of contemporary art on Tuesday night. Sotheby's defines contemporary art as dating from 1945 to the present, so its offerings were a classic mixture of artists. Christie's puts art from 1945 to 1970 in its 20th-century sale; its contemporary-art auction on Tuesday night featured artists working in the last 30 years. Christie's sale, which brought $13.2 million, was an almost frightening feeding frenzy that set records for 18 artists, including Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst.
''Sotheby's sale had a little more quality,'' said Francis Bowes, a San Francisco collector. ''There sure is a lot of money out there.''
Work after work brought flurries of bidding, but most of the biggest spenders were bidding by telephone. A majority of the works came from some of America's most distinguished collectors, among them S. I. Newhouse Jr., David Whitney, Barbara and Richard Lane, Harry and Linda Macklowe, and Donald Fisher.
Four bidders were desperate to buy a 1952 Rothko, ''No. 15,'' in bright yellow and red. Estimated at $4 million to $6 million, it finally sold to an anonymous telephone bidder for $11 million after a bloody battle. It became the star of the evening and set a record for the artist.
Another bidding war ensued over a 1959 Cy Twombly, ''Untitled,'' one of the artist's abstract works with cloudlike forms and sweeps of red. In the end, it was down to Larry Gagosian, the Manhattan dealer, against a telephone bidder. The painting finally sold for $4 million, almost twice its high estimate of $2.2 million, to the telephone bidder.
Some works were considered so rare and special that no one flinched when they sailed right past their estimates.
One of them was ''Brazilian Fish,'' a 1947 hanging fish mobile by Alexander Calder. One of about a dozen he produced in the 1940's and 50's, it is made of sheet metal, painted wire, wire rods, broken pottery and glass. Five bidders went crazy for it, and it finally sold to yet another unidentified telephone bidder for $3.9 million, more than three times its high estimate of $1.2 million.
One bidder who was proud of his purchase was Dimitri Daskalopolos, an Athens-based collector. He bought Duchamp's famous urinal ''Fountain,'' an image that was barred from the 1917 New York Armory show but prominently displayed on the cover of last night's sale's catalog. Sotheby's was selling the fifth in an edition of eight fabricated under Duchamp's supervision in 1964. Estimated at $1 million to $1.5 million, it sold to Mr. Daskalopolos for $1.7 million. After the sale, he told Sotheby's officials he had bought it because ''for me, it represents the origins of contemporary art.''
(Final prices include the auction house's commission, 15 percent of the first $50,000 plus 10 percent of the rest. Estimates do not reflect commissions.)
Some prices were so high that they surprised even Sotheby's experts. When Roy Lichtenstein's ''Still Life With Sculpture,'' a 1974 painting being sold by Mr. Newhouse, came on the block, two bidders refused to give up. The painting eventually sold to Lucy Mitchell-Innes, a dealer who formerly headed Sotheby's contemporary art department worldwide, for $2.7 million, nearly four times its high estimate of $700,000.
Mr. Newhouse was also selling a Brice Marden ink-and-gouache drawing from the artist's famous ''Cold Mountain'' series. The work, a mass of black and white spiral shapes, was estimated at for $150,000 to $200,000. Seven bidders tried to buy it before it ended up selling to a telephone bidder for $629,500.
''Flag,'' a 1959 Jasper Johns drawing on notebook paper being sold by Peter Brant, the newsprint manufacturer and collector, was estimated at $800,000 to $1.2 million. Several people had fallen in love with the work, which went to Simon de Pury, the Geneva dealer, for $1.7 million, a record for a work on paper by the artist.
Another record was set last night for Sam Francis. His ''Toward Disappearance 1,'' a 1958 abstract painting with strong blues throughout the canvas, was estimated at $1.5 million to $2 million but sold for $3.4 million to Andrew Fabrikant, who runs the Richard Gray Gallery in New York.
Lucian Freud's ''Evening in the Studio'' (1993), estimated at $2.5 million to $3.5 million, sold to an unidentified bidder for $2.4 million. A triple portrait, it shows Nicola Bateman, the former wife of Leigh Bowery, Mr. Freud's model, sitting in a chair, working on a rich piece of embroidery, while a naked woman lies asleep on the floor on the bottom half of the painting and the artist's dog sleeps on the bed.
Andy Warhol's work has been commanding high prices this season, and last night was no exception. lot 22 Warhol's ''Liz,'' a 1963 portrait of Elizabeth Taylor estimated at $1.5 million to $2 million, went to a telephone bidder for $1.9 million.
''There was very focused, rational bidding tonight,'' said the auctioneer, Tobias Meyer, head of Sotheby's contemporary art department worldwide. ''It was a high-quality sale with high-quality results.''
A contents entry on Page B1 yesterday about an article reporting a sale of contemporary art misidentified the auction house that held it. It was Sotheby's, not Christie's.

The trail takes us through many summer settlements and a charming hamlet of Luza (4360 m). While we ascend from Luza we will see the Dudh Koshi valley, which is a deep canyon with ridged sides. Walking along the path above Dudkoshi while passing through some small hamlets, we reach Machhermo. Machhermo is the last major settlement on the way up to Gokyo. The beautiful stream flowing down from the Kyajo Ri and Phari Lapche mountains runs through the middle of village before draining into the Dudh Koshi. The town is famous as the site where the Khumbu people spotted a Yeti in 1974. We will have the chance to visit the Himalayan Rescue Hospital here for a lecture regarding the altitude sickness, its precautions, and primary treatment.

At the sight of the second lake, Taboche Tsho you become mesmerized by the shimmering turquoise blue sheet of water sparkling in the sun. We will arrive at the third lake following surging stream before arriving at Gokyo village next to Gokyo lake. Cho-Oyu Mountain serves as an excellent backdrop offering spectacular sights combining the lakes with untouched mountains. After lunch, we will explore around Dudh Pokhari Lake before returning to Gokyo for the night.
Today is full day rest or an acclimatization. If the weather is good, we may take the opportunity to climb Gokyo Ri today instead of tomorrow to enjoy the scene from the best viewpoint of Everest Region.

Flights to Kathmandu are usually scheduled for morning due to potential complications with afternoon wind patters. We fly back to Kathmandu after our long mountain journey where you can rest and relax throughout the day in your hotel or continue to familiarize yourself with Kathmandu. This is a great time to venture out in Thamel for typical Nepalese goods and souvenirs with staff assistance if desired. Take time to shop and explore before the celebration dinner in Kathmandu.
Depending on your flight time you may be able to see a few more attractions in Kathmandu before departing approximately 3 hours before the scheduled flight time. You will be escorted to the airport with a representative from Mountain Experience staff.
