Mobile phones : History
Mobile phones History
Since the mid-1990s, cell phones (or cell phones / cell phones) are becoming more and more important in our daily lives. Before, phones did not do much more than make calls and send messages. Today's smartphones are like computers that are smaller than phones. I often hear people at work talking about the latest apps they have downloaded on their iPhone or Android phone. And while many of the apps are useful, many are not. For most of us, at least our time is often short, we have a desire to keep downloading new apps to keep ourselves entertained.
The size of the handsets
We've all seen pictures of phones owned by the late 80s and laughed at how big they were. It's hard to believe that they were 'portable' phones at all. Martin Cooper, who led the first mobile phone manufacturer (Motorola DynaTAC – 1973). Once remarked that although the battery life of the phone was only 20 minutes, that was not a problem because you would not have a long-lasting handset because of its weight (2.2 – 1 kg).
During the 1990s, the size of handsets gradually decreased until the early 2000s they were so small that buttons, for most people, could be easily used. I had a phone like this and I finally had to give it to my son because my fingers were too big, and I found it very difficult to avoid pressing two letters on the keypad at the same time.
Some of the first Pioneers
I have already mentioned Martin Cooper, who led the team that built the first cell phone in 1973, but there have been many other people who have played an important role in the history of cell / cell phone. Going back to people like Samuel Morse and Michael Faraday who initially excelled in fields such as telegraphy and electromagnetism, they passed on to Alexander Graham Bell and Guglielmo Marconi who played a key role in telephone programming and radio broadcasting, respectively.
Mobile phone generations
The history of mobile phone history is often divided into generations (first, second, third and so on) to mark a major change in skills as technology advanced.
First generation (1G) cell phones
The first commercially operated network (1G generation) was launched in Japan in 1979 by NTT in Japan. Within a few years, the network had expanded to cover the entire Japanese population and became the world's first 1G network.
Second generation (2G) cell phones
In the 1990s, second-line (2G) systems developed. This was mainly using the GSM standard. 2G differs from 1G by using digital transfers instead of analog transfers, as well as fast band-phone-to-network signatures. The rise in the use of mobile phones due to 2G has been exploding and this time around the advent of pay-as-you-go calls.

Third generation (3G) cell phones
In the mid-2000s, the 3G (third generation) telecommunications law was introduced. There were also 3.5G, 3G + or turbo 3G processes.
Fourth generation (4G) cell phones
In 2009, it was clear that 3G networks would be hampered by the growth of advanced bandwidth applications such as media streaming. As a result, the industry began to look at fourth-generation data technology, with the promise of speed up to 10 with existing 3G technology. The first commercially available technology to charge as 4G was the WiMAX standard (offered in the U.S. by Sprint) and the LTE level, offered for the first time in Scandinavia by TeliaSonera.

Read up on some great organic ideas in the following article.
Make sure that your sod properly.Pull all the weeds and break up any clods of soil.Make sure the soil is packed firmly and compacted. Make sure you work with a moist all the way through. Sod should be placed in rows that are staggered, the joints offsetting from each other.
Lay sod properly. Before laying the sod, have your soil prepared. Pull all the weeds and loosen the soil so the new roots can take easily. Compress the soil lightly yet firmly, and make certain it's flat. Moisten the soil thoroughly. Sod should be placed in rows that are staggered, where the joints connect to offset each other. Sod should be firm and have an even, flat surface without gaps. Your sod should be watered everyday for at least two weeks, then it will root itself and walk on it.
Select plant types that produce a relatively high yield.
Brighten up your flower beds with biennials and annuals. You can fill any spaces between shrubs or perennials. Some plants to get you started include petunia, petunias, cosmos, rudbekcia, or sunflowers.
Be diligent in your garden. Weeds can turn a healthy garden faster than you think. White vinegar can be a pesticide-free way to battle weeds. White vinegar will kill weeds! If you don't want to take the time to remove the weeds by hand, douse them with a white vinegar solution.
You must be sure to remove all of the weeds that grow in your garden. Weeds can destroy a once promising garden and take away all its potential. White vinegar has been known to kill weeds quickly. Weeds can be killed by white vinegar! Mix white vinegar and water into a spray bottle instead of pulling the weeds by hand.
TIP! When mowing your lawn, avoid mowing the grass too short. Cutting your grass at a taller height allows grass roots to grow deeper and stronger, which helps lessen the chance of your lawn drying out easily.
Pre-soak your seeds overnight in a dark area. This will hydrate your seeds to be hydrated and give you a little head start with your growing. The seeds will then have a greater chance of maturing and surviving.
Try dousing weeds to get rid of them.Boiling water is a safe alternative to other potent herbicides. Boiling water is not good for the weed roots of weeds and can prevent them from growing.
If you want to grow peas, start them inside rather then planting them outdoors. The seeds will have a better germination rate if planted there first.The seedling sprouts will be heartier, which means they can resist pests and diseases better. You will be able to transfer the seedlings outdoors after they are sturdy enough.
If a test indicates that your soil is very alkaline, you can mix the dirt with used coffee grounds. Used coffee grounds will add acidity, helping to optimize the soil's pH. When you can eliminate excess alkaline from the soil, it makes what you are growing much healthier. This means your veggies will taste better, and your flowers will be more vibrant than ever.
TIP! If you are considering planting a garden take the time to plan it out. It will be a while before things start to sprout and visually remind you of what was planted where, so a written record can be helpful.
Purchase an inexpensive gardening kneeling pad, and a kneeling stool to use in your garden. Horticulture can be very tough on the knees as you spend much time leaning near the ground, but a small ergonomic stool will be a comfortable solution. Gardening also requires transporting heavy objects and lots of dirt, so a wheelbarrow makes for a wise investment.
Your children can help you with your organic gardening endeavors.A garden can provide a wonderful learning experience for children, and it gives you a chance to bond while producing healthy food.
Pine is a surprisingly good source for mulch. Cover the beds with a couple inches of needles and as they decompose, and they will disperse acidity to the soil below as they decompose.
Make sure that your deciduous shrubs are protected. Any potted shrubs should be sheltered in the winter from cold weather. Tie the tops together, and loosely cover the wigwam with a blanket or sheet. Using fabric, rather than plastic, allows air circulation and prevents rotting from moisture build up.
TIP! Irises should be divided. If you divide the overgrown clumps of flowers, you'll find that your stock grows proportionally.
Spacing is one important factor to consider when planting your garden. It can be easy to underestimate the amount of space your plants will take up once they begin growing. Plan accordingly and put an appropriate amount of distance between the seeds.
Use an old laundry basket to help you collect produce from your vegetables and fruits. The laundry basket will make a colander for your vegetables.
Take the time to place organic mulch in the area around your vegetable plants. The soil will stay moist thanks to the mulch. In addition, mulch will help you to prevent weeds. This could save you lots of weed-pulling time.
TIP! Plant with the colors of autumn in mind. That doesn't have to be, however.
Some common examples are petunias and petunias. If you are unsure as to whether or not your seeds should be covered or not, you can usually find helpful information online that will answer your question.
The more information you have on the subject of organic horticulture, the more proficient you will become. The tips here can help.


"Wonderboy" vs. Darren Till: A Case of Too Much, Too Soon for Till?
At UFC Fight Night 130, the platform is set for England's brightest prospect, Darren Till, to elevate himself into title contention in the promotion's welterweight division. The man tasked with stopping the Liverpudlian on May 27. is Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, one of the absolute standouts at 170-pounds.
For Till, the event represents a golden opportunity of sorts.
The UFC will host their first event ever in the 25-year-old's hometown. The event had initially been penned in as a UFC Dublin event, before being announced in Liverpool. With an entire country behind him, there is a real sense of excitement for fans of the welterweight rising-star. This is no better-evidenced than the BBC – Britain's national broadcaster -choosing the fight as the first to ever be broadcast on the network.
UFC President Dana White knows that the promotion has, in Darren Till, a potential goldmine. This is a British fighter with a fanbase which could light up the UFC, in the absence of its Irish superstar Conor McGregor. While the old days of fans from the Emerald Isle colorfully 'taking over' Las Vegas in their droves to support their hero are history (at least, for now), the English will have more reason to replicate their neighbors' support of McGregor.
Given Michael Bisping's approaching retirement, the UFC will not be rejecting an opportunity to develop another English star.
There are many 'firsts' in this fight for Till. This will be the first time he has arguably faced a top-class, genuine welterweight in the UFC. While the reason "The Gorilla" has ascended to this position was off the back of a stunning win over promotion legend Donald Cerrone, "Cowboy" is undoubtedly a natural lightweight. Cerrone's pedigree at 170 was nowhere near as formidable as Thompson's is.
This will also be the first time Till has dealt with the threat of a UFC welterweight contender. Thompson's two title fights against current champion Tyron Woodley culminated in a majority draw, and a majority loss, respectively. These bouts could have gone either way and will have undoubtedly benefited "Wonderboy" in the long run. What they demonstrated to fans is that Thompson is a bona fide contender and arguably the closest candidate for the title behind Woodley.
This fight is widely regarded as a genuine title eliminator bout. Whether it will determine the next opponent for Woodley or the winner of the interim-welterweight title fight between Rafael dos Anjos vs. Colby Covington is by the wayside, for now. As Thompson has already fought Woodley twice in 2017, there will likely be permutations at play: a win for Till could possibly lead to a title fight with Woodley, while a win for Thompson may seem him fight for the interim title.
There is no doubt that Stephen Thompson carries more experience and a much better record into this fight. When comparing both fighters' records, the American's tag as the favorite for the bout is easy to justify. In 12 fights over six years in the UFC, Thompson has a record of 9 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw.
"Wonderboy" holds victories over a current champion (middleweight champ Robert Whittaker), former welterweight champion (Johnny Hendricks), and contenders such as Rory MacDonald and Jorge Masvidal. Factor in two bouts against incumbent 170-pound kingpin Tyron Woodley and his record really looks serious.
Till, aside from his victory over Donald Cerrone in Gdansk, Poland in 2017, cannot boast anywhere near that record. Two unanimous decision victories over Bojan Veličković and Jessin Ayari, respectively, followed a draw against Nicolas Dalby. While Till got off to a flying start in his UFC record with a win over Wendell de Oliveira, he only really came to prominence with his blitzing over "Cowboy".
Comparing both fighters' records should not really warrant a genuine match, but hey, this is MMA in 2018. That is not to say that Till will be greatly outmatched, however.
Darren Till has a lot going for him, coming into this fight. A big and powerful 170-pounder with an excellent Muay Thai background, Till could pose a hell of a lot of problems to Thompson. His clinch game – coming from a traditional Muay Thai background – is excellent. He undoubtedly has power and a sweet and precise left hand, which we saw demonstrated to its fullest capacity against Cerrone and Jessin Ayari.
The problem for Till will be finding a way to work his way inside Thompson, and past his exceptional kicking game, with which he used to catch the attention of fans in the early days of his career in the UFC. With Thompson, one of his biggest criticisms was his style of keeping his hands down. As we saw against opponents such as Tyron Woodley and Robert Whittaker, however, is that there is a method to this madness.
"Wonderboy" is an elusive fighter who can bob, weave and sidestep his opponents' shots, taking the occasional blow – but he has a very underrated chin. His step back straight-left counter, or strikes in retreat are also a key part in his arsenal of weaponry. His lateral movement and excellence in finding angles cannot be discounted, and these are likely to be areas which could frustrate the Liverpudlian.
Where the danger will come from Till, most likely, is if he can capitalize on Thompson's habit of throwing predictable straight punches, especially with little to no head movement. Another area the Englishman could find some success against the rangier Thompson is by employing shorter steps and feints, and by dishing out a healthy share of low kicks to minimize Thompson's movement.
Although an excellent kicker, Thompson does tend to expose himself sometimes when throwing predictable sidekicks. In his first bout with Woodley, this did seem to be rectified, but such carelessness a fighter with a sharp left-hand, and an excellent clinch game like Till, it could be a costly mistake.
With Thompson's experience – especially in 5-round bouts – he has a discernible advantage over Till. The pressure will certainly be on the Englishman, given the occasion of fighting in front of a home crowd. If he can find a way to beat "Wonderboy" then we will have a very interesting twist in the thickening plot of the UFC's welterweight division.


The Jewish calendar seems to be aligned with your visits home this year. Maybe it's the food. Passover and Shavuot are some of your favorite eating holidays—I'm already starting to prepare for your arrival on Shavuot.
Fortunately, as Jews, there seems to always be a holiday to celebrate or commemorate and some kind of associated food indulgence. Shabbat conveniently inserts itself into every week providing a ready excuse for food and family.
Shavuot is upon us, and the farmer's cheese for blintzes waiting in my freezer was calling to me. The last time I made Bubbe's blintzes, the dough skins were too thick or stuck to the frying pan or fell apart when I filled them. Although edible, I knew I hadn't yet achieved the Bubbe Blintz standard of excellence.
It was time to try again. I knew from the very first blintz dough that I was in some kind of Bubbe zone. With my shmata (rag) on my head and my ceramic pan in hand, I turned out 60 or so paper thin crepe skins with ease and relative perfection. I was transported right back to Bubbe's kitchen—watching her magically flip a perfect circle of translucent lightly browned dough onto a torn open brown paper grocery sack, waiting for her to mess one up so I could eat it fresh out of the buttery frying pan. Sometimes she would mess one up on purpose because she knew how much I loved them.
The very same taste and texture and aroma came out of my kitchen. Bubbe's blintzes have become mine.
Food deprivation as a motivator has long been replaced with the privilege of inviting friends and family into our home to celebrate our passion for cooking and feeding the people we love. We carry on the legacy of physical and emotional sustenance through food.
I am so grateful that we have the gift of food, that we don't have to worry about having enough, that we can nurture ourselves and others and that our food serves to immortalize the foundation that brought us to this moment and becomes a bridge to generations to come.
Speaking of bridges…I tried your new twist on my classic cheese grits recipe, and it was excellent! You can count on having your smoked cheddar cheese grits for Shavuot dinner to accompany some grilled fresh fish and a huge green salad. You don't know how much pleasure it gives me to know that you have skillfully picked up the food baton and are, with ingenuity and generosity, carrying on a much celebrated family tradition.

2014 High Country Silverado w/6.2L - Things I Should Know?
+1, quoted for truth. Especially in this era of fleet mpg, eggbeater twin turbo sixes. The NA 6.2L is powerful, pleasing, effortless. Nice. Only heads up are the shimmies which can be checked on a highway test drive at varying speeds, and the horrible headlamps which need to be upgraded. See the subforum on headlamp mods, the morimotos are tremendous.
Best mod I've ever done to any vehicle. Worth every penny at full retail price.
Over all else, my only suggestion is add air bags for any of thse discussed loads. Night and day difference, and not expensive.
As other's note, it's a mice problem, not a vehicle problem. IME, the bigger exposure to mice making a home out of the vehicle is that eventually it becomes an odor issue that cannot be remedied without pulling apart, replacing, and disinfecting everything. You absolutely, positively, gotta find a way to either (1) get rid of them, or (2) keep them out of the vehicle. There's many methods that are largely up to you including cats, poisons, traps, deterrents, sealants/screens, etc, but likely a combination of these things given they are persistent buggers for food and warmth.
Liner protects your truck, bedrug protects your stuff.
TX, those are aluminum 54" channel rails that mount either with expander bolts or regular bolts to vehicle rooftops, caps, or tonneaus. I got these from Rack Attack, though both Yakima and Thule now have them. http://www.rackattack.com/base-roof-rack-systems/permanent-custom-mount-roof-rack-systems/yakima-54-inch-track-hardtop-kit/ These were bolted through the rail caps and steel truck bed tops, but in the future can be removed and covered by just replacing the plastic rail caps. These are very solid, and the rack towers/crossbars/gear racks can be removed from the rails with a matching keylock to the rest of the Yak/Thule locks. Would not recommend attempting some pressure clamps or mount only to the tonneau frame as you're asking for a blow off especially if hauling larger items like kayaks.
^There's plenty of room to run the air lines along the frame and under box to the rear bumper. The two schraeder air valves mount in the top two holes of the license plate holder and are capped off. Very clean.
Have now settled into 15-16 psi for daily driving and 30 psi for tow duties. I'll tinker with slightly lesser air on the tow setup, but for DD she is set. I'm a bit shocked at how much better the ride is, pun intended.
First reaction is that these bags not only vastly improve ride quality for tow loads, but are also an upgrade to the overall suspension for daily driving. Rear suspension is both firmer with no jouncing, yet has also lost the harsh hit type feeling on both small and larger bumps. Under tow loads the ride is significantly improved with no loose feeling or pronounced bouncing when road conditions present a few rollers back to back. Any sag from trailer tongue weights can be eliminated with pressure adjustments. I decided to wait on replacing the stock Rancho shocks as my local shop called Billy/Fox/King and none have yet issued proper valving for the NHT/Tow package trucks. The improved DD ride characteristics of the Ride Rites are a much appreciated bonus, but wondering if there are any long term issues with running the bags vs. upgraded shocks? Is it ok to run the Ride Rites at circa 30 lbs pressure for daily driving? Any undue pressure on axles or other parts from pressurized air bags? Thanks.

Q: Would I be able to feel a single-molecule wide string? Imagine there is a material that is so strong it can form several meters string while being only a single molecule wide. It is securely attached and can withstand any human pressure. What happens if I slide my finger across it? Would it cut it or would I not notice anything?

A: the idea of a single-molecule "fiber" of macroscopic length (called a "sinclair molecule chain") appeared in the science-fiction stories of Larry Niven some 50 years ago, an abbrievated analysis follows.
If we imagine a string consisting of a single linear molecule, that string would possess no dislocations, point defects, or grain boundaries, and its breaking strength would not be limited by the (relatively weak) forces that cause adjacent polymer chain molecules to adhere to each other in things like spider web silk.
As such, its breaking strength would be equal to the load required to actually break the chemical bond between any two atoms comprising the string's backbone, which would be many orders of magnitude greater than the load required to cause two of those chains (of shorter length) to slip past one another, or for dislocation travel (in a macroscopic fiber) to promote plastic deformation, grain boundary rotation, or the merging of point defects.
Niven invented the single-molecule chain to furnish an easily-concealed tool in the form of a long molecular chain with the cross-sectional area of one molecule and knobs on its ends which a person could unfurl and then use to cut through any solid with little effort. However, he didn't do the math- which of course had no effect on the entertainment value of the sci-fi story, but a reader who happened to be materials scientist would reject the premise.
A "real" polymer rope of finite cross-section might possess in cross-section somewhere around 10^20 polymer chains and have a breaking strength (based on slippage between adjacent chains) of order ~tens of thousands of pounds. Niven's premise was that the tensile strength of one molecule was of order ~10^20 greater than the strength of a collection of those molecules tangled up against one another in a solid, so that a single molecule string would possess the interatomic breaking strength of  ~10^20 tangled molecules held together with Van der Waals forces.
But what he failed to recognize was that a load of several hundred pounds applied to the ends of that single molecule string would produce a stress of ~ (load)/(cross-sectional area) and the area involved would be that of one molecule or more properly the cross-sectional area of the electron orbital overlap which furnished the interatomic bond.
With such a tiny number in the denominator of that fraction, the stress would be almost unimaginably gigantic, and pulling on it with your hands would easily break it.

A: It would not cut you, not any more than a knife could cut through a bucket of water. And at scales this small, you're basically indistinguishable from a sack of water with some impurities.
The mechanoreceptors in your skin sense pressure and motion on the scale of entire cells, so they wouldn't be tripped. That means you wouldn't feel anything.
It may cause some damage to macromolecules such as DNA by cutting through them, but a sufficiently small number of cells would be damaged so that you wouldn't suffer any ill effects, just like you don't when you get an X-ray; it would be negligible compared to the DNA damage you spontaneously get. In fact, a good analogy is cosmic rays. Millions of cosmic rays will pass through your body every day, acting much like your ideal string. This is not a health problem, though it is for astronauts (who get much more of them), possibly increasing their risk of cancer.

Guinness Nigeria agrees an $11.8m deal to distribute Diageo's premium spirits brands
The Nerve Desk
Dec. 15 2015, 9:44 am Apr. 13 2016, 3:15 pm
Guinness Nigeria Plc, a member company of Diageo Plc, has agreed to acquire the distribution rights to the global beverage alcohol producer's international Premium Spirits (IPS) brands in Nigeria, in a deal worth N2.35 billion.
"The transaction we are announcing today will facilitate the achievement of our ambition to create the best performing, most trusted and respected consumer products company in Nigeria by leveraging the strength of our unparalleled portfolio of beer, adult premium non-alcoholic drinks (APNADs), ready to drink (RTDs) as well as spirits," Peter Ndegwa, the Managing Director/CEO of Guinness Nigeria Plc, said in a statement on Monday.
As part of the transaction, Guinness Nigeria will also take over various assets including the current inventory of Diageo Brands Nigeria Limited, the wholly-owned Diageo business which currently distributes and markets the IPS brands in Nigeria.
Ndegwa notes that the integration of the Diageo IPS brands with the Guinness Nigeria brand portfolio best fits the company's strategy of filling the gap in its total beverage alcohol portfolio. He adds that the move also allows Guinness to compete across segments within the market.
The transaction is expected to be concluded by December 31, 2015 and the new distribution agreement for the IPS brands will become effective on January 1, 2016 subject to receiving all regulatory approvals.
The shares of Guinness Nigeria rose by 2.28 percent on Monday to close at N127.45 ($0.64) on the Nigeria Stock Exchange.

Q: disabling line breaks in datatool table I have a csv file containing a list of names with addresses. I'm using the datatool package to load these and output stickers (using the labels package) for envelopes. This is done using \DTLforeach. Sometimes a name is too long for one line so I manually include a \\ in the csv as to not hyphenate a name.
I also want to print a complete list of all recipients using \DTLdisplaydb.
For my stickers this works very well, but of course this breaks my table listing all recipients.
As an MWE, save this as data.csv:
Name,Street,City
John Doe,Street 1,A City
Osop Eskobmr Sempeg Cotbadt\\Demnoskoywar,Street 9,B City
Jeeta Ex,Street 2,A City

and use
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{labels}
\usepackage{datatool}
\begin{document}
\DTLloaddb{address}{data.csv}
\DTLforeach{address}{\name=Name,\street=Street,\city=City}%
{\addresslabel{\name\\ \street\\ \city}}

\DTLdisplaydb{address}
\end{document}

I guess I could insert a special command like \mybreak and define it as empty or as \newline depending on the situation. But I would prefer to keep the data as is.

A: \addresslabel typesets its argument ragged right (using \raggedright) in a box of the appropriate width. Since \raggedright almost never hyphenates, this is most likely sufficient. When I remove the \\ from your example, I get the behavior I believe you want.
One way to ensure you don't get any hyphenation is to add \lefthyphenmin1000 as an optional argument to \addresslabel:
\addresslabel[\lefthyphenmin1000]{\name\\ \street\\ \city}

This tells TeX that there must be at least 1000 characters to the left of the hyphenation point.


In the new water information world people want data and they want it now. The majority of Hydrometric data collection, the dissemination of its information to users and decision makers has traditionally, if not arguably, been a passive process. What happens though when "Time is Money"?
Water is now a more tradable commodity, through water trades, buying and selling. The subsequent decision making processes around the water information required to operate the market can probably continue to cope with this relative passivity, but there are other areas of water use that require "Time is Money" assessments and decisions based on the water information being provided. Traditional and passive approaches to data collection and assessment do not lend themselves well to these scenarios.
Snowy Hydro Limited (SHL), based in the Snowy Mountains in south eastern New South Wales, supplies more than 70 per cent of all renewable energy in the mainland National Electricity Market. The fuel source for its energy production is water.
SHL is also required to conduct its operations under the conditions of the 'Snowy Water Licence' issued by the New South Wales Government that specifies the release rules associated with environmental releases to the Snowy River from Jindabyne Dam.
As such SHL needs to manage its operations while dealing with competing interests – that of maximising the value of the water in terms of potential generation value and that of meeting its obligations under its water licence.
In January and February 2010 SHL, under variations to its water licence, was required to undertake periods of environmental flushing releases from Jindabyne Dam down the Snowy River as part of recommendations from the Snowy River Scientific Committee. While the releases were not large, these releases also coincided with a period where the 'dollar value' of water increased in terms of its value in regards to peak electricity generation during periods of seasonally high summer electricity demand.
This paper discusses and reviews the hydrometric monitoring and subsequent decision making processes issues that needed addressing during, and following, these release events. The hydrographic team at SHL was required to be proactive in its monitoring, advice, decision making and direction given to the schemes operations areas that were controlling the systems that enabled the releases. An 'aggressive attitude' was required!

The Commission and Commission staff get frequent inquiries about careers and career paths in marine science, policy, and management, especially related to marine mammals.
The Commission provides the following information for students, early-career scientists and other members of the public to help them in their career exploration. Nothing on this site implies the endorsement or support of any institution by the Marine Mammal Commission.
We are listing many programs that currently may have research programs specific to marine mammals, but please remember that the study of marine mammals is often approached through training and expertise in more specific biological fields such as genetics, physiology, acoustics, animal behavior, veterinary medicine, population biology, taxonomy, immunology, toxicology, paleontology, etc. In addition to those programs listed here, relevant training and expertise may be found at a multitude of colleges, universities, and research institutions throughout the United States and the world.
We welcome any additions and will periodically update the list. We intend for the list to primarily include U.S. institutions.
Academic Institutions and Graduate Programs
The non-exhaustive listing provided in the link below includes institutions with research groups and academic programs which focus strongly on aspects of marine mammal science among other academic disciplines. Those interested in pursuing a higher degree studying marine mammals can browse these sites and connect with potential advisors. Some aspects you might include in inquiries might be to:
Ask whether they are accepting graduate students into their academic programs and labs.
Describe why you are interested in their research – be as specific as possible!
Include some scientific questions you are interested in pursuing and how you might go about answering those questions.
Inquire about the financial costs of attending; whether tuition might be covered and a stipend provided either through a Teaching or Research Assistantship with the institution, or through other external funding. See "Fellowships and Scholarships" below for some examples.
See here for a list of some of the universities with faculty and institutes conducting marine mammal research in the U.S by region.

Who knew a profound Spiritual Awakening could occur on an Elliptical Machine?!
I was attending a retreat in Costa Rica, where one of my very powerful mentors and teachers, Joshua Rosenthal, gave me same direct, wise, and deeply profound guidance.
"Cora," he said. "You are a 10 at BEING ON. You are performing all the time. You can tell what people want you to say and you say it, you use your intuition to know what people want you to do, and you do it. You have NO idea who you really are because it's almost like you are reading a script.
My jaw dropped and I began to cry, sob actually. I went back in time to being three years old, when my parents divorced. I remembered deciding that if I had been more upbeat, perfect, a better daughter, more ON, then none of this would be happening. Our family would have stayed together and we would have never experienced all that pain.
From that moment on I made a commitment that I would never make the same mistake again. I would ensure that I was always ON and reading everyone's emotional needs and providing and performing and supporting constantly.
Joshua was right. I was living a lie. So I closed my eyes and spoke to my Inner 3 year old. I told her it was MORE than okay to turn it off. That she could relax, play, and just be. I told her that I would take care of her and she could feel whatever she needed to feel. And that everyone else could take care of herself or himself.
For the next 10 days of the retreat, I stayed in mostly silence. I stepped back at social engagements and observed with curiosity and neutrality. I spent much of the time in nature. I talked to myself, God, and the trees. I even channeled and connected with Soul Sisters husband who had passed away recently, helping her feel more peace.
It was a profound Homecoming on all levels.
On the last day of the retreat, I drew the Soulmate Tarot Card. WHAT?! I thought…Soulmate? Eeek! But I am married! Did I meet another soulmate? What does this mean?
Whoah. So simple, yet so profound. My life forever shifted from that moment.
From that moment on I made a commitment that I would never make the same mistake again.
I came home to NYC and my life was like a shoe that didn't quite fit. I knew it was because my whole life was a mirror of my people pleasing, performing, and being ON.
So I began dating myself and God. I actually put the dates in my calendar. I got really intimate with myself. I became my own best friend and Beloved.
And I began to learn the voice of my Truth and my Soul…over time; this whisper became louder, and I could trust her more and more.
I felt SO much more inner peace and alignment and my outer reality began to shift to mirror that clarity within. The life of my DEEPEST dreams began to channel through me.
What happened next still KNOCKS my SOCKS off…more soon!

title: Remover um pacote de suas dependências
challengeType: 2
forumTopicId: 301530
dashedName: remove-a-package-from-your-dependencies
---

# --description--

Você agora já testou algumas maneiras de gerenciar as dependências do seu projeto usando a seção de dependências do package.json. Você também incluiu pacotes externos, adicionando-os ao arquivo e até dizendo ao npm quais tipos de versões você quer, usando caracteres especiais como o til ou o circunflexo.

Mas e se você quisesse remover um pacote externo do qual você não precisa mais? Você já deve ter adivinhado: apenas remova o par chave-valor correspondente a esse pacote das dependências.

Este mesmo método também se aplica à remoção de outros campos no seu package.json

# --instructions--

Remover o pacote do moment de suas dependências.

**Observação:** certifique-se de que você tem a quantidade certa de vírgulas depois de removê-lo.

# --hints--

As "dependencies" não devem incluir o "moment"

```js
(getUserInput) =>
  $.get(getUserInput('url') + '/_api/package.json').then(
    (data) => {
      var packJson = JSON.parse(data);
      assert.notProperty(
        packJson.dependencies,
        'moment',
        '"dependencies" still includes "moment"'
      );
    },
    (xhr) => {
      throw new Error(xhr.responseText);
    }
  );
```

# --solutions--

```js
/**
  Backend challenges don't need solutions,
  because they would need to be tested against a full working project.

Episode 163 – Live and Die by the Law
On this episode, we discuss the Law family. From Jo's personal councilor in the Church presidency, aide-de-camp in the Nauvoo Legion, registrar of the University of Nauvoo, and general Mormon eliteness to one of the most powerful and outspoken critics of Joseph Smith and Mormonism; William Law has an interesting story in the Church and left behind a ton of documentation that is crucial and invaluable to historians today. We get to know him, his wife Jane, and his brother Wilson in this episode and then discuss what changed.

Ep 162 – Walker v. Hoge; Political Chess
On this episode, we discuss the controversial election of 1843. Jo had promised his vote, and by implication the Mormon voting bloc, to the Whig candidate and well-respected lawyer, Cyrus Walker. However, the Democrats held control of the state militia that represented a constant threat to the safety of Joseph Smith and the Mormons. Governor Thomas Ford pulled a dirty trick to get the Mormons to vote for the Democrat candidate, Joseph Hoge; a grand scheme was carried out to flip-flop the Mormon vote. When Hyrum Sidekick-Abiff Smith received a prophecy, the Lord had spoken, let all the world be silent. Back scratching and political favors negotiated behind closed doors rule the day.

Ep 161 – The Mormon Seraglio
On this episode, we jump back into Nauvoo Mormonism. We begin with discussing the realm of politics in the 1840s. Jo's political chess didn't begin in Nauvoo, but Nauvoo was where he ramped up his game and moved to the ranks of political chess master. Jo had an incredible ability to curry the favor of powerful politicians and influential business owners who regarded Nauvoo as a tourist town on the Mississippi. Then we discuss how polygamy and the practice of "spiritual wifery" required a system of organization and ascendency for Nauvoo sex workers. The results are worthy of note and degrading to the women who were regarded as property.

Ep 160 – Mormon-Native Relations 1840-1857 w/Christopher C. Smith Pt.2
On this episode, we get into part 2 of our discussion with Mormon historian Chris Smith. Part 1 was the primer with a heavy focus on early Mormon emissaries. Part 2 dives into how these Mormon-Native relationships were explored and leveraged to hasten the Mormon theodemocracy with dictatorial prophecies of war and bloodshed. Chris reads a letter from James Arlington Bennett that minces no words about the impending Mormon military campaign. Then we bring things back around to Alpheus Cutler to discuss his Native emissary missions and settlement. We wrap the conversation with Native-Mormon relations in Utah under Brigham Young and discuss Walkara. Chris opines on what lessons we can take from this snapshot of history.
Direct download: Ep_160.mp3
On this episode, we sit down with Mormon historian Chris Smith to discuss part 1 of a 2-part series on Native and Mormon relations during Joseph Smith's ministry. We begin with discussing the Book of Mormon being written explicitly to the Natives and describe Joseph's mindset in allying with the Natives to overthrow the U.S. Government. Then we broach the utility of the Council of Fifty and jump into a few important emissaries Joseph called to forge trading and military relations with various Native tribes. Lewis Denna (Dana, Denny), and his work with church leadership, are of particular import as he was a Native convert to the church. We try to put the plight of the Natives in broader context throughout America. Then we wrap with the work of Jonathan Dunham (J. Dunham 'Lamanite') and his work with various Native groups.

Ep 158 – The Very Walls Had Ears
On this episode, we dive into the ubiquity of Nauvoo polygamy. Much has been made about Joseph Smith having multiple wives, but he wasn't the only Nauvoo elite with more than one. Just how prevalent was the practice? How many participated? How many knew about the doctrine? How many plural marriages were formed prior to D&C 132 being committed to paper? What conclusions can we draw from the available data? Gary James Bergera's article is a masterpiece in helping to understand the complexity of the tangled web of Nauvoo Polygamy.

Ep 157 - Calling in Sick
Just that, I'm finally doing it for the first time in 4.5 years of podcasting. But, there are a few announcements that need to find a home in your earhole so please permit a short 5.75 mins of listening to give those announcements the home they deserve.
I'm sorry everybody! We'll be back next week with a regular episode.

Ep 156 – Hingepin Rigdon's Pivotal Trial
On this episode, Hingepin Sidney Rigdon is in the hot seat. August of 1843 brought about events that led to him being disfellowshipped. After a month of waiting on pins and needles, Rigdon was called in for a hearing before the High Council to determine if he would remain in fellowship, or be officially excommunicated. His powers of oratory shine through the historical record as he pleads his case with life-or-death implications. Joseph Smith gives a couple cryptic funeral sermons.

Ep 155 – Alexander Neibaur and Kabbalah
On this episode, we pick up with a European convert who made his way to Nauvoo in 1841. Alexander Neibaur was a "learned" man who was given to linguistic studies, dentistry, and esoteric Hebrew mysticism. Joseph Smith found a friend and fellow occultist in Neibaur and Mormon doctrine and theology exploded upon Neibaur's arrival. We tell Neibaur's story, give a brief overview of Kabbalah, and speculate on how Nauvoo theology was influenced by Kabbalah and Neibaur specifically.

Ep 154 – Jane and Emma
On this episode, as we enter the last half of 1843, an era of good-feelings falls upon Nauvoo. The streets shined as if paved by gold and the Mormons had beat the justice system again while polygamy was in full swing! We focus in on some of the pressures behind closed doors the public wasn't privy to. We hear the story of Jane Manning James and her migration to Nauvoo, how she met the Smiths, came to live in the Nauvoo Mansion, and her relationships with Emma and other women living in the house. Then we hyperfocus on Emma and her constant inner battle with polygamy.

Ep 153.5 - D. Michael Quinn pt.2
On this episode, Dr. Quinn picks up right where we left off in part 1. Mike tells us about his disagreements with the general direction of BYU Mormon History academia. New Mormon History is born as the Church Historian's Archives are opened and a new influx of independent researchers get their eyes on crucial previously-censored documents. Mark Hoffman shaped the realm of Mormon history while the feminizing of the academic field begins to gain serious traction. Quinn publishes articles and reviews in support of the scholarship coming from women's groups concerning women holding the priesthood and then writes his seminal Early Mormonism and the Magic World View. He tenders his resignation then goes into hiding from church authority to evade excommunication. Finally, Women and Authority is published which was plutonium to many scholars who were somehow involved, including Quinn. 5 excommunications and 1 disfellowshipping go down in infamy as the "September Six".

Ep 153 - D. Michael Quinn pt.1
On this episode, we sit down with author/historian D. Michael Quinn to hear his biographical sketch. We begin with how he came to fall in love with information and history then hear how he came into contact with "anti-Mormon propaganda," only to find out it was true. Then he takes us on a journey through his education and career in Mormon history working in the office of Leonard J. Arrington and then becoming employed by BYU as a professor.
This is part 1 of a 2-part interview with Dr. Quinn.

Ep 152 – Hiding in Plain Sight; Accult
On this episode, we take a brief foray into the magic world view of early Mormon leaders. From astrology to divination to scrying to palmistry, many early leaders of the church were influenced by the magic that underpins Protestant Christian mysticism. Instead of talking about Joseph Smith and his seer stones, we take a look at other prominent early Mormons to attempt to construct their beliefs systems that primed them for belief in the early church. Also, a brief listener mail segment to round out the show!

Ep 151 – Going With the Opposed Votes
On this episode, we air a presentation I gave to a local Post-Mormon meetup group in St. George, Utah. By common consent they wanted to hear ALL the material I prepared. The talk begins with a little about my story, then progresses to points that I find interesting in Mormon history after studying it for 5 short years. After that, I share the newest research I've unearthed concerning psychedelics in early Mormonism. Patrons of the show will want to listen to the Patreon feed version to get the full unedited talk!

Ep 150 – Helen Mar Kimball
On this episode, we seek to humanize a controversial and fascinating figure of Nauvoo Mormonism. Helen Mar Kimball has been leveraged as an attack against Joseph Smith for decades. The person at the center of those attacks is a wonderful and dynamic woman who was torn with following the prophet and her parents, or living the life of a teenager with her friends. Let's inject the human element into the historical enigma, Helen Mar Kimball.

Ep 149 – D&C 132 Pt. 2 the ConText
On this episode, we dive into the historical context of the polygamy revelation (D&C 132). We discuss the plight of Emma with Jo's reckless libido. We cover the historical foundation for William and Jane Law possibly brokering a sex-swap deal with Emma and Joseph Smith, as well as their later denials of such scandalous accusations. The stories of Sarah and Maria Lawrence & Emily and Eliza Partridge are told through the lens of some of the foremost historians of the field, reconstructed from firsthand accounts.

Ep 148 – D&C 132 Pt. 1 the Text
On this episode, we dive into deep Mormon theology! While this podcast is all about Mormon history, sometimes we need to discuss doctrine, when it was given, and the historical context during which said doctrine was created. Doctrine & Covenants 132 is widely known as the 'Polygamy Revelation' along with plenty of other controversial theology. This is part 1 discussing the actual text as dictated in July 1843. Part 2 will discuss the historical context next week.

Ep 147 – First They Came
On this episode, Governor Ford's hands are tied. Sheriffs Reynolds and Wilson, who'd arrested Joseph Smith, appeal to the Governor to call out the state militia to rein in Jo. The Mormons sign petitions calling on the Governor to never issue a warrant for arrest on any Mormons ever again. The Mormons collect a packet of affidavits and statements to be sent to Governor Ford, attempting to obstruct the wheels of justice from grinding up the Prophet. After that, Jo has a curious little meeting with some Potawatomie Chiefs and then calls Orson Hyde on a mission to Russia.

On this episode, Joseph Smith was safe in his kingdom on the Mississippi. A legal mess had been mixed by everything that happened during the week of June 23-30, 1843 and now it was time to sort it out. Documentation is entered into the Nauvoo Municipal Court record justifying Jo's arrest in the first place. Then Jo makes a speech to the eager Mormons who were excited to see their prophet safe in their town again. The following day the court convenes to hear witness testimony proving that Joseph Smith wasn't guilty of treason against the State of Missouri.

Ep 145 – The Corruption of Their Leaders
On this episode, we pick up where we left off last week. Joseph Smith was in the custody of Missouri Sheriff, Joseph Reynolds, but the sheriffs were in the custody of one of Jo's boys. We read through multiple first-person early accounts of how their journey to Nauvoo went. Jo had everything in his control.

Ep 144 – If You Stir I'll Shoot; God Damn You!
On this episode, at the behest of Joseph Smith, Joseph H. Jackson embarks on a mercenary trip to Missouri in hopes of breaking Porter Rockwell out of jail and finishing off Ex-Governor Lilburn Boggs. His true intent? Collude with Jackson County Sheriff Reynolds to arrest Joseph Smith. He isn't successful, but gathers some helpful intel to bring back to the prophet to gain his trust. Joseph Smith heads to Dixon, Illinois to preach but winds up arrested by Sheriffs Reynolds and Wilson; mobs form everywhere they go. The Danites are called out to canvass Illinois to break Jo out of custody and return him to the Kingdom on the Mississippi, and Jo has a pistol smuggled to him. Content warning for this episode, there's some of strong language.
Second Arrest of Joseph Smith 1843
Ep 143 – Kinderhoax Plates
On this episode, Joseph Smith is a fraud. We discuss two occurrences in Nauvoo which prove that Jo didn't have access to any knowledge that people of his day did. First is the Greek Psalter incident where a guy proved that Jo had no idea what language was on the parchment. After that is the entirety of the Kinderhook Plates incident, which proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jo unabashedly knew he was a fraud. These incidents, coupled with the Book of Abraham in early 1842, reveal Jo to be the liar he was.

On this episode, Orrin Pistol Packin' Porter Rockwell lets down his guard and heads for Nauvoo. As he was about to board the steamer, a bounty hunter caught up with him. We follow Port and his troubles in Missouri criminal justice system of 1843. In Port's absence, a new wolf in sheep's clothing appears.

Ep 141 – Plight of the Unwed Mother
On this episode, I bother all of you with a Facebook fight. Yes, really. Don't worry, it's just to springboard into the controversial issue of abortion in Nauvoo Mormonism. We read through a court document from March 1843 of a woman who suffered abuse at the hands of a Thomsonian herbal physician after he gave her ergot and injected cayenne pepper into her veins. Then we opine on the plight of women in 19th-century America. The outro includes a brief conversation with Kimberly Anderson, the featured guest of our next NaMo Home Evening!

Ep 140 – William Miller's Bible Math
On this episode, Joseph Smith and William Miller tangle through public media. Miller's prophecy of the beginning of the Second Coming of Jesus is hotly disputed by the one true prophet. Jo goes out preaching to his congregants, sees a comet in the sky, and gives his own prophecy of when Jesus will return. Doctrine & Covenants 130 is revealed among all this hubbub concerning end-of-world prophecies. Also our final installment of treasure digs for those who donated to help Brother Jake.

Ep 139 – A City of Glass Houses
On this episode, Jo was safe for a little while. It was time for the 1843 elections which returned predictable results. Jo elevates the Nauvoo House to the importance of the Nauvoo Temple, but then derides people for aggrandizing themselves. A market center is planned and Jo is given final decision-making power as Mayor. Then Jo goes to the Temple construction site and makes a speech that reveals some interesting details of his character. After that we get a great update on Brother Jake, and then take a turn into somber territory to say goodbye to a dear friend, Deborah "Heretic Woman" Mc Taggart.

Ep 138 – Full Faith and Credit with Andrew Torrez
On this episode, Andrew Torrez of Opening Arguments joins us to discuss the legal sphere of Joseph Smith's troubles in 1843. He helps fact check my take on the January 1843 trial which heard in Smith's favor on the writ of habeas corpus, but Jo was far from out of the woods. Andrew helps us understand what the next step would be for the State of Illinois as well as Jo's legal counsel in keeping him out of state custody. After that, we read a letter Jo sent to his legal counsel with regards to new intelligence he'd gained from Orson Pratt. Then we wrap up with discussing a dream Jo had recorded in his history.

Ep 137 – Emma' Stairway to Hell
On this episode, we discuss the historicity of an altercation between Eliza Snow and Emma Hale Smith. Legend has it that Emma saw Eliza who was "heavy with child" kiss Jo and pushed Eliza down the stairs in a fit of jealous rage. It's common oral tradition passed down for generations, but did it really happen? We dive into where the story came from and what the documentary history can tell us of the supposed incident. History isn't always so cut and dry.

Ep 136 – To Deprive a Citizen His Liberty
On this episode, Jo's arrested once again, but the stakes have never been higher. He and his posse make their way to Springfield, IL to determine whether or not a newly issued writ of Habeas Corpus should be honored at the federal level, or if Jo as accessory to murder in Missouri was a state issue to be handled at the Missouri level. Yes, we spend a lot of time mired in court documents, but it's well worth the read/listen. After that, we do our treasure dig fundraiser for Brother Jake.

A STEAM coordinator and teacher of gifted fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders at Shaler Elementary School, Penn traveled to the McMurdo and South Pole stations in Antarctica. From there he flew to remote locations to work, collecting data on climate change research that was sent back to the University of Wisconsin.
The program is highly competitive, but Penn's extensive outdoor training — he is a former Army Ranger, not to mention a Boy Scout — and 27-plus years of teaching, made him an ideal candidate.
The trip was funded by the National Science Foundation.
The oldest (by almost 20 years) of his five-person team, Penn worked in some of the world's harshest conditions. Their mission was to install and maintain 12-foot automatic weather stations equipped with GPS to monitor glacier movement and meteorological instruments to measure weather.
"We installed close to a dozen stations, in temperatures that set records at negative 128 degrees," Penn said. "We went to areas of the South Pole that had never been explored."
Interactive lessons occurred during his expedition. Penn facilitated a live report from the South Pole with more than 30 schools from seven countries. He posted about 30 online journals on his research.
Penn endured a three-day quarantine at the start of his trip, complete with psychological tests and briefings on how to deal with sensory deprivation (there is little sound or smell in Antarctica) before embarking on his adventure. He was issued extreme cold weather gear, including two coats he nicknamed "Lil and Big Red."
He spoke of snowstorm white-outs causing zero visibility. That's when colored ropes come in handy.
"We had colored ropes connecting buildings, and during whiteouts you can hold onto the rope and guide your way to a building," Penn told the students. "Otherwise a person could get lost out there."
His encounters with animals caught the students' attention, especially the rotund seals that dot the stark, white landscape like specks of pepper. Penguins were a common sight, too.
"The students commented they were surprised to learn that the seals had no reaction to humans there," Leechburg teacher Nicole Bauer said. "After his presentation, several students commented on how cool science was. And we all agreed it would be incredible to walk around the bottom of the world."
Penn described his trip as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He said he didn't have any life-threatening encounters, but he sometimes had an unsettling feeling.
"I think being left out with our team 500 miles from the next human or living thing in any direction was probably the most scary or serious moment," Penn said.
Bauer scheduled Penn as a guest speaker as a real-life connection after her class participated in an online virtual field trip to Antarctica via the Nearpod website.
"I wanted my students to connect what they read to a real person's experience," Bauer said.
"Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest and windiest continent," Penn said. "There are wind speeds up to 300 mph."
Spending time at the bottom of the world had its perks.
Penn enjoyed running "a race around the world" when he hiked a 2.1-mile circle around the South Pole that took him through all 24 time zones.
"You can step from today into tomorrow, and from yesterday back into today," Penn said. "It's pretty cool."
Even air travel to remote work locations requires donning extreme weather gear, including goggles, Penn said.
"If the plane crashed, there was no way a survivor could try to look for their coat or something," he said. "You would freeze to death that fast."
Student questions covered topics such a hygiene and food.
Going to the bathroom at minus 70 degrees is no easy task, because the skin can't ever be exposed to the elements.
Showers were once a week, for two minutes, with cold water.
His beard and mustache were in an almost constant frozen state.
"Once I forgot and messed with my frozen mustache and it broke (the hairs) right off," Penn said.
No fresh food was available because they would have frozen.
For Penn, sharing his experience in person with students has been rewarding.
"They would never be as excited about some of the things we just talked about unless they had met someone who actually did it," Penn said.
When asked what he did immediately upon his return to the United States, Penn spoke of food.
"I had a cheeseburger," he said.
