DeKalb ( ) is a city in DeKalb County, Illinois, United States. The population was 40,290 at the 2020 census, down from 43,862 at the 2010 census. The city is named after decorated Franconian-French war hero Johann de Kalb, who died during the American Revolutionary War.

Founded in 1856, DeKalb became important in the development and manufacture of barbed wire, especially for agriculture and raising livestock. While agricultural-related industries remain a facet of the city, along with health and services, the city's largest employer in the 21st century is Northern Illinois University, founded in 1895. DeKalb is about  from downtown Chicago.

History
DeKalb was originally called Huntley's Grove, and under the latter name was platted in 1853. The name is for Baron Johann de Kalb, a major general in the American Revolutionary War. The first church in DeKalb was organized in 1844. Beginning in 1846, a stage coach traveled from Chicago through DeKalb and Dixon to Galena. A post office has been in operation at DeKalb since 1849. The first railroad reached DeKalb in 1853.

Barbed wire was a key product in DeKalb's history. Joseph Glidden (1813-1906), a DeKalb resident since about 1850, received a patent in 1874 for inventing the conventional double-strand barbed wire that remains in common use around the world today. Glidden and Isaac L. Ellwood (1833-1910) manufactured barbed wire in DeKalb, initially as the Barb Fence Company. Successor companies included the 1881 Superior Barbed Wire Company, which merged into American Steel and Wire in 1898 and finally became United States Steel. Between 1892 and 1898 Glidden and Ellwood played substantial parts in establishing the state teachers college that became Northern Illinois University.

DeKalb played a leading role in the development of commercial hybrid corn. From a base in the early county Farm Bureau, the DeKalb Agricultural Association produced large quantities of high-yield seed varieties, beginning in 1934. Until the mid-1970s, more American farmers planted DeKalb hybrid corn than any other brand. The DeKalb logo was a flying ear of corn. A series of joint ventures and mergers beginning in 1982 resulted in the DeKalb brand of agricultural products being owned by Bayer since 2017.

Geography
DeKalb is in northern Illinois, about  west of downtown Chicago and 30 miles southeast of Rockford. The South Branch Kishwaukee River flows northward through DeKalb.

According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, DeKalb has a total area of , of which  (or 99.03%) is land and  (or 0.97%) is water.

On August 24, 2007, the Kishwaukee River at DeKalb crested at  (all-time record ), causing major flooding. This was only the second time the river has risen above  since the level of the river has been recorded.

Climate
DeKalb has a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfa) typical of northern Illinois, with four distinct seasons. Summers can be hot, while winters are cold and snowy. Precipitation is somewhat uniform year-round, although it can be heavier in the spring and summer when the area is prone to strong thunderstorms.

The average household size was 3.22 and the average family size was 2.45.

The city's age distribution consisted of 17.9% under the age of 18, 31.8% from 18 to 24, 24% from 25 to 44, 17.2% from 45 to 64, and 9.1% who were 65 years of age or older.

Culture and contemporary life
 DeKalb is home to the annual Corn Fest, usually held in late August.
 The Egyptian Theatre, built in 1929, is one of a handful of such theatres still extant in the United States.
 The Stage Coach Players, founded in 1947, have a theatre on 5th Street.

Economy
DeKalb is home to Northern Illinois University, the city's largest employer and Illinois's third-largest campus. Other large employers include Northwestern Medicine, General Electric, Monsanto (originally as DeKalb Corn), the local school district, and a large retail district along Route 23 (shared with Sycamore) that includes Walmart, Target, Lowe's, Best Buy, Meijer, Kohl's, Ross, and dozens of other chain and local stores.

DeKalb is also home to warehouses for several major companies, including Target, 3M, Nestlé, and Ferrara Candy Company, in part due to DeKalb's proximity to major highways such as I-88 and I-39. 3M's complex serves as the distribution hub for three of 3M's four business units and export operations to North America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

In 1984, the intersection of two streets in a popular NIU housing district in DeKalb begot the name of a regional consulting firm, "Greenbrier & Russel" (subsequently acquired by Fujitsu Consulting in 2006). In 2011, DeKalb was the broadcast base of Up and In: The Baseball Prospectus Podcast with Kevin Goldstein and Jason Parks. The town was also the filming location for the 2012 film At Any Price.

In June, 2020, Meta announced it would construct an $800 million data center on the south side of DeKalb.

Parks and greenspace

The DeKalb Park District is responsible for DeKalb's 44 parks and recreation facilities. Members of the League of Women Voters established the park district in 1935 to address the need for a public swimming pool. The City of DeKalb gave the first four parks to the District: Annie's Woods, Huntley Park, Liberty Park, and Hopkins Park.

In 2000 the district opened the Sports and Recreation Center, a multi-function facility that features an indoor field of over 1 acre, clear-span space with synthetic field turf. The park district provides year-round athletic and recreation programs including day camps, youth baseball and softball, adult softball leagues both indoors and outdoors, swimming lessons, golf lessons, karate, tennis, adult and youth basketball leagues, indoor soccer, fitness classes, and preschool.

The DeKalb Park District park system has 44 parks totaling over 700 acres: community parks, neighborhood parks, passive parks and linear parks. Notable parks and facilities include:
River Heights Golf Course
Buena Vista Golf Course
Hopkins Park Pool and Community Center
Nehring Center for Culture and Tourism
Ellwood House Museum and Park

Government
DeKalb has a council-manager government.  Policy is developed by an elected city council and implemented by an appointed professional city manager. The DeKalb City Council is made up of a mayor, elected at-large, and seven alderpersons, elected by ward. Each serves a four-year term, with half the council elected every two years. A city clerk is also elected every four years to serve as the city's official recordkeeper. City council meetings are held the second and fourth Mondays of every month.

Education
There are 11 public schools, one private school, one university and one public library.

Northern Illinois University

Northern Illinois University (NIU) was founded in DeKalb as the Northern Illinois State Normal School in 1895. NIU is a comprehensive teaching and research institution with total enrollment around 20,000 (including about 16,000 undergraduates and 300 law school students), which makes NIU the third largest campus in Illinois. NIU is home of the Huskies. Notable NIU alumni include Dan Castellaneta (the voice of Homer Simpson and Krusty the Clown), Jimmy Chamberlin (The Smashing Pumpkins drummer), former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, former Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz, Oscar-nominated actress Joan Allen in Pleasantville (film), NFL players Michael Turner, Doug Free, Chandler Harnish, Jordan Lynch and Ryan Diem, former NBA Players Kenny Battle and Paul Dawkins, and actor Steve Harris from David E. Kelley's legal Drama The Practice.

Public schools
DeKalb is served by both public and private school systems. DeKalb Community Unit School District 428 operates eight elementary schools (Grades K-5), Clinton Rosette and Huntley Middle Schools (Grades 6-8), and DeKalb High School (Grades 9-12), which is the home of the Barbs.

Infrastructure

Transportation

Railway
The first railroad entered DeKalb on August 22, 1853. In 1864, the line became part of the Chicago and North Western Railway main line from Chicago to Omaha, which carried passengers until 1971. A depot between 6th and 7th Streets was built in 1891. The Union Pacific Railroad took control of the line in 1995. Since 2006, the nearest passenger rail service is at the Metra commuter system station in Elburn,  east of DeKalb, which is accessible by bus. In January 2023, the Dekalb City Council voted to fund a transportation study aimed at determining feasibility of extending Metra Union Pacific West Line commuter rail service from Elburn to the city.

Road
The transcontinental Lincoln Highway was established through DeKalb in 1913. The first "seedling mile" of concrete pavement was built in 1914 at Malta, six miles west of DeKalb. The rest of Lincoln Highway across DeKalb County was paved in 1920. The highway is now part of Illinois Route 38. The main north-south highway through DeKalb is Illinois Route 23, which forms an unusual intersection of two state highways and a major railroad at the corner of Fourth and Lincoln. Interstate Highway 88, part of the Illinois Tollway system, was completed to DeKalb around 1975 and passes just south of town, where there are two toll plazas and a service oasis that includes restaurants and a gas station. Via the tollway, DeKalb is  west of Aurora and  west of downtown Chicago.

Bus
Scheduled local bus service throughout the DeKalb area is provided by DeKalb Public Transit, a joint effort by the city in partnership with Northern Illinois University. Routes extend through the university, the city, and Sycamore with extensions west to Kishwaukee College and east to the passenger rail station at Elburn. Schedules on the main routes vary depending on whether the university is in session. The system began in 1971 as the Huskie Bus Line under contract to the NIU Student Association. By 1982 the system served 3 million riders per year, second only in Illinois to the Chicago Transit Authority. In 2018, it merged with a smaller City of DeKalb bus system, which had been operated by the local Voluntary Action Center (VAC). Paratransit operations were added in 2021, also by transfer from VAC. VAC continues to serve a wider surrounding area with on-demand transportation for people with special needs and to out-of-town medical appointments.

Airport
DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport (DTMA) , serving the general aviation community, is on the east side of the city at 3232 Pleasant Street. The airport opened in April 1944 in association with a factory making Interstate TDR assault drone aircraft. The city took ownership in 1948. There is no commercial service directly to DeKalb, but the city center is 43.43 miles away from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, making commercial air access relatively easy.

Gazizza, my dilznoofuses!
April 23, 2007 by Paul Smith Jr
Study: One in thrity "Aborted" Babies born alive
One baby in 30 left alive after medical termination | News | This is London
One in 30 babies aborted for medical reasons is born alive, a study has found.
They lived for an average of 80 minutes – although in some cases foetuses survived for over six hours.
Researchers looked at the outcome of 3,189 abortions performed on seriously handicapped foetuses at 20 hospitals between 1995 and 2004.
It showed that 102 – or around one in 30 – aborted for reasons such as Down's Syndrome and heart defects, were born alive.
So, not only are babies born alive being allowed to die, they're also presumably suffering a great deal while lying neglected and unattended by their killers. This is the sort of action that leads to executions when done to people whose lives we value. But since it's abortion, it's apparently to be celebrated as an exercise in women's freedom….
This is what we're talking about:
Nope, nothing remotely human in that picture. Well, maybe that finger, but definitely that "thing" at the center of the photo.
The other thing I found interesting about this article is that it's referring to children who suffer from some medical issue. It seems to me that the statistics would be even higher among healthy unborn children.

Quote-a-palooza
"Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe." – Noah Webster
"There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism- government. Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become. And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it." – Ronald Reagan
"Clearly, there remains to this day a horrible, condescending attitude toward armed American citizens. Haven't the British yet gotten over the fact that a ragtag, often disorganized force of American colonials, wielding their own arms, was able to defeat what at the time was the most powerful armed force in the world? Our forefathers, armed with their own flintlock rifles and pistols, and an assortment of muskets- the 'assault weapons' of their era- threw off the yoke of oppression under which they were forced to live. When British broadcasters today demand to know just what it is about gun ownership that Americans defend so vigorously, the answer is too simple for them to comprehend. Simply put, we defend this individual civil right because without our own guns two centuries ago, we would still… likely be British subjects…" – Alan Gottlieb
"In its proper constitutional sense, the term [militia] means all the able-bodied people who can be trained and disciplined to act in the community's defense when it's attacked. Since it encompasses every able-bodied person, it does not refer to those- such as the police, the military, or even the National Guard- who formally compose the official defense forces of the nation. Every citizen able and willing to act in an emergency becomes a potential defender against attacks aimed at the general population. Unfortunately, because of the anti-gun folly of the leftist media and politicians, we have lost sight of this vital element of our defense… The anti-gun crowd seeks to establish a modern version of [the medieval era], a kind of bureaucratic feudalism, in place of the republican self-government established by our Constitution… The answer is not gun control, but self-government, self-defense, and self-control. We must act to live as free people, else like sheep for the slaughter, we will die, and freedom with us." – Alan Keyes
"The trouble with gun control laws is they target the law abiding. 'If you disarm good people but not the criminals, instead of making things safe for the potential victims you may unintentionally make them safe for the criminals,' said Dr. John Lott, coauthor of a massive study on guns and crime… Both crime rates and shooting deaths have declined in most states which have adopted 'concealed carry' laws, says Dr. Lott. The decline in 'multiple victim public shootings' has been especially pronounced, he said. 'Bill Landes of the University of Chicago law school and I examined multiple-victim public shootings in the U.S. from 1977 to 1999 and found that when states passed right-to-carry laws, the rate of multiple victim public shootings fell by 60 percent. Deaths and injuries from multiple victim public shootings fell even further, on average by 78 percent, as the remaining incidents tended to involve fewer victims per attack,' Dr. Lott said… In applauding the defeat last year of a measure in the Virginia legislature to permit those with concealed carry permits to have a gun on campus, Associate Vice President Larry Hinckler said Virginia Tech's strict gun control policy made students feel safer. But there is a difference between feeling safer and being safer, as Virginia Tech has learned to its sorrow." – Jack Kelly
"I have always been fond of the West African proverb: 'Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far'." – Theodore Roosevelt
"[F]or many Europeans, faith is increasingly irrelevant. Europe has the lowest church-attendance in the world. Not coincidentally, the continent is in a demographic tail-spin. Of the 10 nations with the lowest birthrates, nine are in Europe (the 10th is Japan). Currently, 1.5 children are born for every woman in the EU. In some countries, the rate is as low as 1.1. It takes 2.1 births per woman merely to replace current population. If present trends continue, Europe's population could decline by 88 million in the next 15 years- a loss of 23% of its 2000 population. Why not coincidentally? From religion comes hope for the future and a sense of societal obligation (i.e., a non-hedonistic worldview). No faith, no hope. No hope for the future, no sense of obligation- hence, no children." – Don Feder

Carper: "I think a number of people who voted for [partial-birth abortion ban] thought that the court would ultimately strike it down."
Robert D. Novak – The Democrats' Partial Pro-Lifers – washingtonpost.com
Thomas Carper, the low-profile junior senator from Delaware, tries to walk the middle of the road on abortion. He was rated at 55 percent pro-choice by NARAL in 2006, but he was one of the 17 Democrats who voted to ban partial birth abortion three years earlier. Carper said after the court upheld the 2003 bill: "I think a number of people who voted for it thought that the court would ultimately strike it down."
I have no doubt that Carper is right. I immediately thought of how Bush reversed his campaign pledge to veto McCain-Feingold. He figured it was popular and he could get some good publicity by signing it, figuring it would overturned by the Courts. Oops.
While on partial-birth abortion, it is largely Democrats who this describes, it applies across the board without party distinction. Too many politicians are willing to take actions they believe to be opposed to America's best interests just to maintain popularity with the voters come re-election time. This is where term limits might help, even though I retain a visceral aversion to them. If politicians didn't have to worry about re-election, perhaps they'd actually focus on what's best for the country.
For another example, on the GOP side, I have little doubt that there are some pro-life Republicans who would vote differently on a secret ballot. I have no way of knowing who they are, so I can't name names, but politicians being what they are, there's got to be at least a few.
Let this decision be a warning for politicians of the sort Senator Carper referred to: don't vote in favor of a position you oppose, it might come back and bite you in the ass.
Hat Tip: The Corner

Ryan's post reminded me of a Bad Thing I went through yesterday morning. This past weekend was the Annual Catholic Appeal, wherein we ask Catholics to support the operations of the diocese through contributions. I was the person at my parish responsible for leading people through the process of filling out their pledge cards during Mass.
Attending the 9:30 Mass (the family Mass), I was reminded why I don't usually attend the 9:30 Mass. Speaking directly into the microphone, I still couldn't hear myself at some points of the Mass due to noise of children, especially one baby who reminded me of nothing as much as Damien from "The Omen".
I'm convinced that if I am unfortunate enough to experience Hell, it will remind of the 9:30 Mass.
And when I'm Absolute Dictator, parents who make no effort to get a screaming child out of Mass until they're calm will be denied Communion.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself."

You might think driving a car with a manual transmission, also known as a stick shift, is difficult. Really, it's not, despite the nervousness and fear it inspires in learning drivers (and even experienced drivers who have never had to learn).
Driving a manual transmission car involves a simple series of motions that, once learned, become so ingrained as to become automatic. As an added bonus, learning advanced techniques with a manual transmission can greatly increase your control of your car and your confidence on the road.
But we'll stick to the basics for now.
Start with your car parked on a flat surface, preferably one without any obstacles you might hit--a vacant parking lot is perfect. The parking brake should be engaged, the transmission in neutral, your right foot should be on the brake, and the engine off. This is where we'll begin the process.
1. Press down on the clutch pedal until it reaches the floor or its stopping point.
2. With the clutch pedal still pressed, start the car.
4. Still keeping the clutch pressed in, move the shift lever from neutral into first gear.
5. Smoothly release the clutch pedal while slowly pressing your right foot on the accelerator. The goal isn't to get your right foot flat to the floor--just a little bit will do.
6. As you release pressure on the clutch with your left foot, you should feel a "bite," a place in the pedal's stroke where the clutch begins to engage. The car may start to creep forward at this point. Remember where this point is.
7. Slowly feed in more throttle as you continue to release the clutch pedal until the car is moving forward. Congratulations! You've successfully done the hardest part of driving a stick shift: starting from a stop.
8. Now that you're moving, changing gears is easier. Just press in the clutch pedal, move the shift lever to the next gear, and release the clutch pedal. Depending on the car, your rate of acceleration, and the nature of the transmission, you may have to add a little throttle as you release the clutch--spend some time making your shifts as smooth as possible.
9. To come to a stop, leave the car in its current gear and press the brake pedal gently with your right foot. As the car slows, the engine will slow with it. To avoid killing the engine, you'll want to press your left foot down on the clutch and move the shift lever to neutral--generally somewhere between 5-10 mph. Release the clutch.
10. Once the car is stopped, leave the shift lever in neutral and keep your right foot on the brake until you're ready to start off again (in which case, repeat the process from step 4 above). If parking the car, press in the clutch, shift into first gear, and shut off the car--but don't forget to set the parking brake.
And that's it, in 10 easy steps, you've taken your first drive in a manual transmission car. Learning to drive a stick shift well involves practice, practice, practice. Once you've mastered the basics, there are many more advanced techniques you can learn, including hill starts, rev-matched downshifts ("heel-and-toe"), and more.

Young Chili Bowl Driver Is On His Way To Winning The Golden Driller
Some drivers dream of having the success that Michael Buddy Kofoid has had.
The 20 year old is on his way to bringing home his first Golden Driller on January 15.
If you blinked, you might just miss the tiny town of Penn Grove, California, with a population 2,522.
That is where young Michael Buddy Kofoid got his start racing go-karts, while watching one of his idols, two-time Chili Bowl Winner, Kyle Larson.
"You know we come from kind of the same area and starting in outlaw carts. We moved across country to race midgets and sprint cars and now that he is in NASCAR, I have always dreamed of going too. And everything he has done, it's hard not to be a fan," said Chili Bowl Driver, Michael Buddy Kofoid.
From the go-kart tracks, to becoming last year's USAC National Midget Series champion in 2021, the California kid has teamed up with Keith Kunz Motorsports.
Keith Kunz Motorsports has produced eight Chili Bowl titles.
"I'm definitely living my dream right now getting to race my cars professionally for a living. And when I can I come from wing sprint cars so I'm always passionate about that. And trying to get back in those when I can. I ran 20 sprint car races last year so I had about 90 to 100 race season and this year's is shaping up to be just as much or more," said Kofoid.
Kofoid has a lot to offer in this years Chili Bowl.
Not only is he a first generation driver, but he also has over 90 races under his belt this past season.
He hopes those races will propel him into the winners circle on January 15, with a Golden Driller.
"You know you are competing against 390 plus other cars that want the same thing. This place brings a lot of talent, of all walks of racing. So if you can beat the guy that beats them all, it's a pretty good feather in your cap," said Kofoid.
The A Main Finale is January 15 at the Chili Bowl.

Surrounded by steep vineyards, overlooked by an imposing castle and with a charming old town filled with half-timbered houses, Cochem is the archetypal German town and one of the prettiest places on the Moselle.
River ships moor in the heart of the town, which is divided by the river. A nearby bridge leads to the waterfront and narrow cobbled streets of the old town, which can easily be explored on foot.
The main attraction is Reichsburg Castle, also called Cochem Imperial Castle. It dates back to the 11th century and is the largest hill castle on the Moselle. Most river cruises offer a tour of the castle as an included shore excursion.
Cochem is also in the heart of the Moselle's wine producing region, known for crisp dry Rieslings. The town has many wine stores and your cruise may also include a tasting.
The currency is the euro. For up-to-date exchange rates, visit www.xe.com. There are several ATMs (geldautomats) in and around the old town, include the Vereinigte Volksbank Raiffeisenbank at 25 Ravenestrasse, close to the tourist information center.
German is spoken in Cochem.

Dimitri Diatchenko (* 11. April 1968 in San Francisco, Kalifornien; † 21. April 2020 in Daytona Beach, Florida) war ein US-amerikanischer Schauspieler und Musiker, der aufgrund seines makellosen russischen Akzents häufig russischsprachige Charaktere in US-amerikanischen Filmen, Fernsehserien und Computerspielen verkörperte.

Leben und Wirken
Der gebürtige San Franciscoer Dimitri Diatchenko, der einen ukrainischen Vater und eine Mutter mit schwedisch-griechischen Wurzeln hat, erhielt bereits im Alter von sieben Jahren klassischen Gitarrenunterricht und hatte zwei Jahre später schon seinen ersten Solo-Auftritt. Während und nach seinem Musikstudium gewann Dimitri Diatchenko diverse Medaillen bei US-amerikanischen Gitarren-Wettbewerben wie beispielsweise der Stotsenberg International Classical Guitar Competition im kalifornischen Malibu oder der World Championships of Performing Arts im kalifornischen Hollywood. Zudem veröffentlichte Dimitri Diatchenko vier Solo-Alben.

Er besuchte die Newton North High School in Newton, Massachusetts und später dann die Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. Dort war er Stipendiat, studierte im Hauptfach Klassische Gitarre und erhielt von der Universität den Bachelor in Musik (Bachelor of Music). Nachdem Dimitri Diatchenko dann an die Florida State University in Tallahassee wechselte, führte er seine Musik- und Schauspielstudien im Masterprogramm fort. Im April 1996, als er seinen Master an der Floria State University machte -er erhielt den Master in Musik (Master of Music)-, wurde Dimitri Diatchenko für den Kinofilm Die Akte Jane von Ridley Scott gecastet. Er erhielt eine kleine Rolle als Auszubildender in dem Film. Daraufhin widmete er sich weiter dem Schauspiel und zog nach Los Angeles, um seine Schauspielkarriere voranzutreiben. Dort gab Dimitri Diatchenko aber auch privaten Gitarrenunterricht und spielte als Gitarrist regelmäßig Solo-Konzerte oder in Ensembles mit.

Seine Schauspielkarriere begann in den späten 1990er Jahren. Dimitri Diatchenko hatte zunächst Episodenrollen in mehreren US-amerikanischen Fernsehserien wie z. B. Alias – Die Agentin, CSI: Miami oder How I Met Your Mother. 2008 folgten dann Auftritte in den bekannten Kinofilmen Indiana Jones und das Königreich des Kristallschädels und Get Smart.
Für seine Darstellung des ukrainischen Reiseführers Juri in dem Kinofilm Chernobyl Diaries lobten ihn einige deutsche und US-amerikanische Filmkritiker.

Neben der Schauspielerei, arbeitete Dimitri Diatchenko auch als Sprecher für Computerspiele. Sein erstes Computerspiel war 2005 Medal of Honor: European Assault.

Nachdem seine Familie einige Tage nichts von ihm gehört hatte, wurde die Polizei verständigt, die Diatchenko am Mittwoch, den 22. April 2020 tot in seinem Haus in Daytona Beach auffand.

Q: How to have Kile interpret TeX code when file extension is not .tex? To produce my figures, I often use Inkscape with its export in Pdf+LaTeX feature. It allows to create a PDF associated with a TeX file which contains the text. Such TeX files have the specific extension .pdf_tex instead of .tex, which is convenient to make obvious they are linked to a PDF file.
The problem is: Kile does not recognize them as real TeX files and its behavior changes: for example the Comment/Uncomment tool is not available.
Is there a way to tell Kile to recognize a .pdf_tex (or any other user defined extension) as it does for a .tex?
Thank you for your help.

A: You can manually set Tools -> Highlighting -> Markup -> LaTeX.
For autorecognition you can try to add the custom extension to the TeX MIME type in your system settings.

Very sorry can't come. Lie follows by post..
I'm so sorry, from deep inside, Clearly guilty, my hands are tied. It was obviously, all my fault, I have opened my inner vault.
You can say sorry in over 1000 ways. Only when it comes from the heart,does it matter.
I was wrong please forgive me.
I know I was wrong, I'm sorry that I hurt you.
I'm sorry if I hurt you… I'm sorry that won't be again. But, I want you to know this… I love you… I really really do!
BEST friends tolerate the WORST in you. Thanks for being one, I'm sorry.
You can only put on a fake smile for so long… then the truth starts to be revealed.
I know that I don't look handsome when I wear anger on my face. Sorry for looking so ugly the other day.
I took for granted, all our smiles, laughs and memories. I promise I'll never do it again, because they mean the world to me. I am sorry.
Par Wo Jakham ke Nishan Kaise Bataye Jo Dikhte Nahi..!!
Qki Naraz Hote He Wohi Jo Sachcha Pyar Karte Hai..
To Gaal Pe Aisa THAPPAD Padega Ke Bus HUM Hi HUM Nazar Ayenge..
Never say you're sorry. It's a sign of weakness.
"MUSKURAHAT" Bhi Sirf Apno Se Milti Hai..
Dar Lagta Hai Kahi Wo Bhi Juda Na Ho Jaye..
Hum Pareshan Kar Denge Missed Call Se Satane Ki..
I feel ashamed that I broke your trust. I know, what I have done is unjust. But I promise, I'll never let our friendship rust. I'm sorry.
ग़लती इतनी भी बड़ी नहीं की हमने.. जो नाराज़ हो जाओ उम्रभर के लिए.. माना कि हम तेरे कोई नहीं.. पर तू मेरी सबकुछ ये भी तो किसी से छुपा नहीं.. प्लीज़ मान जाओ..
ग़लती इतनी भी बड़ी नहीं की हमने..
जो नाराज़ हो जाओ उम्रभर के लिए..
माना कि हम तेरे कोई नहीं..
पर तू मेरी सबकुछ ये भी तो किसी से छुपा नहीं.. प्लीज़ मान जाओ..
Life ki sabse badi bhool ki.
Par iska to ye matlab hota he ki Aap Is Rishtey ki Dilse Kadar kerte ho.
भूल जाओ उनको जिनको तुम माफ़ नहीं कर सकते..!!
I am so sorry pagal….
नाराज़गी हमसे हैं और तकलीफ़ ख़ुद को देना ग़लत बात हैं!!
Aadat nahi par me majbur hu.
हो गई हो भूल तो दिल से माफ कर देना,..!
सुना है सोने के बाद हर किसी की सुबह नही होती,..
मगर यूँ ना नजरअंदाज कर.
भूल उसीसे ही होती है जो कुछ करने की कोशिश करता है!भूल को कबुल करना ही फूल है!
भूल जाओ कि हमसे कोई भूल नहीं होगी और भूल होने पर सॉरी कहना मत भूलो वरना छोटी सी भूल भी महँगी पड़ सकती है!!!
Dard koi mila ho hamari zaat sy to maf kar dena.
Kaise Maaf Kar Du Mai Tumhe Jaan-bujhkar Galti Karti Ho Aur Fir Sorry Kehti Ho..
Par Hamari Dhadkan Hi Ruk Jaye Toh Sorry.
Nahi jaiye chodkar hame is veerane mein.
Maaf ker do meri Chandni.
Dekho tera Chand bhi tho aansuo se pareshan hai.
I'm sorry if sometimes I get a little jealous…thinking that someone else could make you happier than I could.
Please, please, please, please, please, please forgive me.
I don't want to make any grand promises. All I want to do is hug you and tell you how much you mean to me. I'm sorry.
Koi Maaf Kare Ya Na Kare.
Kya Naseeb Paya Hai Yaaron..
Hum Unme Se Hai Jo Kabhi Sath Nahi Chhodte..
Gum Ne Hame Hasne Bhi Nahi Diya.
Nind Ne Hame Sone Bhi Na Diya..
Hamare Is Sawal Ka Jawab Kya Doge..??
Tum Manane Se Na Mano Itne Bure Hum Bhi Nahi..
There is nothing in the whole word that I will allow to come in-between our friendship – not even my own mistakes. I'm sorry.
Hope you like these i am sorry status make sure to use them when you need to say sorry to someone.


← Gone For The Summer!
We've all heard the saying "nice guys finish last," but the major view is that nice guys finish last because they aren't bad boys and I disagree with this. I find that a lot of nice guys get burned by women, not because they were nice guys, but because they were chasing after the wrong women.
A nice guy that's a good man deserves a good woman as well, and a woman who has not matured enough to understand that she wants the wrong men, the "bad boys," based on her own insecurities and self-worth issues isn't worth a nice guy's time.
For the nice guys who have managed to get that girl who loves bad boys into a relationship, many of them will tell you how badly they were treated in the relationship. From being talked to disrespectfully to being used financially, to being taken for granted and cheated on, nice guys just aren't treated well by women who crave the attention of bad boys.
Nice guys that get burned by these women were usually shown signs that the women weren't right for him or wasn't interested in him for who he was. And deep down inside, nice guys know that these aren't the type of woman they really want to be in a long-term relationship with, but still, they hope these women will see the light and change.
Unfortunately, it's usually a woman's beauty and hot body that blinds nice guys from their better judgement. But it could also be pure desperation.
Is She In The Right Mental Place?
The bottom line is, when you go after women who are still on the self-destructive relationship path, you're bound to get hurt in your efforts to show her real love. A woman can only accept the right love when she is in the right mental place.
So, picking an evolved, mature, self-confident (not arrogant) woman is how nice guys can finish first! This is the kind of woman who will always appreciate you for who you are and never take you for granted. Let the women who love the drama filled relationships have just that and set your sights on something better.

Palamina Completes First Tranche Of Private Placement
Palamina Corp. ("Palamina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") announced on January 31, 2019 and February 8, 2019. In this first tranche, the Company raised a total of $1,535,500 for the issuance of 5,118,332 units (the "Units") at the price of $0.30 per Unit. Up to an additional $664,500 is expected to be raised in a second tranche closing for aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering of up to $2,200,000, which is expected to take place on or before March 31, 2019.
Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") and one warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of two years after the date of issuance, provided that if after four months and one day following the closing of the Offering, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") is equal to or greater than $0.90 for 10 consecutive trading days, then the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by disseminating a press release, and in such case the Warrants will expire on the 45 th day after the date on which such press release is disseminated.
Net proceeds of the Offering will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and to advance Palamina's gold projects in south eastern Peru in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period ending June 29, 2019. The Offering is subject to TSX-V acceptance of regulatory filings.
The purchase of Units pursuant to the Offering by Andrew Thomson, the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a director of the Company, and Hugh Agro, Alistair Waddell, and Darin Wagner, each a director of the Company, (collectively, the "Related Parties") constituted a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company was exempt from the MI 61-101 valuation and minority approval requirements for related party transactions in connection with the Offering because the Company was not listed on a stock exchange specified in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, and neither the fair market value of the Units purchased by the Related Parties, nor the proceeds to be received by the Company in respect of the Related Parties' participation in the Offering, exceeded $2,500,000.
The securities offered pursuant to the Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
