The Frontera Collection
Arhoolie Awards 2019
Harry Oster Collection Digitizing Project
The Grammy Museum and the National Recording Preservation Foundation have awarded the Arhoolie Foundation grants to digitize the remaining reel to reel tapes in the Foundation's Harry Oster Collection.
Between 1956 and 1963, Dr. Harry Oster, professor of English at LSU Baton Rouge, roamed the back roads of Louisiana in search of traditional music. A background in literary folklore put him on the trail of French and Anglo ballads, but it did not take long for a much broader field of music and related culture to reveal itself — blues, Cajun dance music, African American old time fiddle tunes, creole catholic hymns called cantiques, traditional New Orleans jazz, Mardi Gras Indian chants, church services, informal jam sessions and religious gatherings, prison work songs and spirituals, children's songs, street vendor cries, personal histories, and folktales.
Oster's Louisiana recordings invite us into corners of America most of us have never seen, offering glimpses of a rural world evolving with the times yet inextricably bound to its plantation past. Some of them were issued on his independent label Folklyric Records, and later reissued on Arhoolie. The vast majority of them, however, remain unissued, unidentified and largely unheard altogether.

In 2006, the Arhoolie Foundation catalogued and digitized what we understood to be the last of Oster's field recordings bestowed to us by his widow. In 2012 we discovered that many known recordings listed in discographies and mentioned in Oster's writings could not be accounted for among the tapes in our collection, nor were they to be found in the few other repositories with which he had relationships. Further inquiries with his widow revealed several hundred additional tapes still in her possession: not only the lost sessions in question, but many more spanning the full breadth of his career beginning with his earliest Louisiana recordings of French ballads, Creole hymns and Cajun dances, all the way to the fiddle tunes, breakdowns and blues he captured in Iowa decades later.

We have hired Grammy-nominated audio restoration engineer Jessica Thompson to digitally preserve this long lost treasury of recordings. She writes, "A collection of field recordings like this offers an incredibly deep insight into historic music scenes. These recordings are not just the hits or the best takes. They contain all the interstitial information, which adds tremendous value—the conversations before and after songs, the audible evolution of songs among different performers and over the years, the interactions between Oster and the performers he recorded. These tapes wind up being primary source records of the music and culture of a particular time and place, which makes them of great historic importance to folklorists, musicologists and other researchers."

For sure! I think Best Buy will fix it, but 6 days is far too close for comfort and I really do not want to lose this CE. Please reply, Best Buy.
I've reached out to support and I've been told that it will be okay and I will receive my entire order. Time will tell?
I don't personally trust them, plenty of CSA's have been known to say stuff like that. We have 6 days though so yeah, time will tell.
Cyberpunk 2077 CE Delayed (Dec 10th release date)
I see the other thread is closed, so I just wanted to know if I'm the only one here. I have a Cyberpunk 2077 CE pre-order since day 1 for Xbox, and it's gone through the countless "delayed" emails and the "correction" emails stating the previous email was sent in error, and that it's just because the game has had multiple delays itself.
This last round, it looks like the delivery date was never changed to December 10th, which now is the legit release date. My order shows that the CE itself is delayed, with no other info, and I never got an email stating that the previous delayed email I got on Nov 19th was just in error. Two weeks out, now I'm worried - does anyone else's CE show an actual December 10th date and that it's on time or does yours show delayed as well?

Best Buy Returned My Cyberpunk Order
Has anyone else had issues with their Cyberpunk 2077 collector's edition being shipped early on or around the first of December only for Best Buy request a return during shipment a few days later? I was expecting to receive my order this Saturday the 5th and it got all the way to my area only to have a return requested by Best Buy according to UPS and Best Buy customer service representatives I spoke to. When I spoke to someone at Best Buy they could not give me a reason the item was returned by them but that I would be refunded to the card I used to purchase the product. I'm assuming they requested a return because they sent it out early but I do not want my order canceled as I have had it pre ordered since June of last year and do not want to lose this collector's edition. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am unable to get much info from either parties.

Re: Best Buy Returned My Cyberpunk Order
This exact same thing happened to me. I was told the same thing by Customer support. You wrote exactly what I wrote. it was even my last GCU order and my tracking shows the return was requested by the shipper (Best Buy). It was even here at the local UPS office for delivery yesterday. Support is working from home so there is little info they can provide. I told them offering a refund was not a solution.
Knorman19
Yep same here. My cyberpunk collectors edition was on the truck to be delivered to my house. It never came so I checked the tracking that night. I see it is being sent back as requested by Best Buy. On the order status it shows returned and a refund applied to my account. This is unacceptable! I understand it was mailed early, but to flat out cancel orders because of their mistake is unbelievable. This needs to be made right!
Mine just says it's still waiting to be shipped. There's all sorts of messes with the cyperpunk preorders and it's really not acceptable.

What is ownership? A case of Twitter
Last year while doing a project for the workshop Introduction to Scholarly Communication my team created guidelines for Archiving Tweets of Political Events using Archive-It. Working on this project we encountered interesting issues surrounding copyright ownership and access. The issues of copyright and ownership were related to the push by libraries to archive publicly available web content to prevent its easy loss (Antracoli et al., 2014). The harvesting, archiving, and curation of social media, particularly Tweets, is a new issue and their copyright and ownership dimensions have yet to be tested in court (Small, Kasianovitz, Blanford, & Celaya, 2012). We made our recommendations based on ample research and our opinions.
We learned there is a great deal of debate around copyright and ownership issues related to Twitter and Tweets. Some argued that users who choose to make their Twitter accounts public cannot object to the reuse or collection of their Tweets, as users have the option to privatize their account. At the same time, if a Twitter user's tweet is indeed used, the user may view Tweets as a means for personal expression and therefore may wish to be credited for this expression (Small et al., 2012). There are three arguments against Tweets as being copyright material in Canada in the United States. First, the short length of one hundred and forty characters makes Tweets possibly ineligible for copyright protection (Reinberg, 2009; Small et al., 2012). In addition, much of what is posted on Twitter is the statement of common-knowledge facts or their impression, which are not copyrightable. Furthermore, many tweet comments are written in a similar manner, making copyright difficult to discern. Those scholars who argue for Tweets as copyrightable believe that some Tweets represent originality, as defined under copyright, or that a collection of Tweets as a whole potentially meets the minimum necessary for copyright protection (Reinberg, 2009).
We decided that no matter the outcome of the copyright decision if the tweets were used in an academic library they could be circumvented by the Twitter Terms of Service and/or the Fair Dealing exemption of copyright law in Canada. According to Twitter's Terms of Service, posting Tweets grants Twitter "a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, display and distribute such Content in any and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed)" (Twitter, Inc., 2016b). By this standard, Twitter owns every Tweet, but public Tweets are also useable for educational means. Under the Copyright Act's Fair Dealing exception, an individual is able to use copyright material for research, private study, education, satire, parody, criticism, review, or news reporting. Through the Political Tweets Librarian, academic libraries can harvest publicly available Tweets and their use for research, study, and other educational purposes falls clearly under the Fair Dealing exception of Canadian copyright law.

Q: Formatting the output XML using Transformer Is it possible to format the output XML file from the Transformer object.
As of now, I got these as the output:

But I want something that look like this:

Here is my code snippet for the transformer:
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(file);
transformer.transform(source, result);

A: I would save xml in tmp file, then read from it line by line format it and save. Example for one line
    String line = "    ";
    String indent = line.startsWith("<A") ? "   " : "       ";
    line = line.replaceAll("(type|width|height)", "\n" + indent +  "$1");
    System.out.println(line);

output

I have two bred yearling registered Nubian does. Both are from strong show/milking lines. One's mother has her 12 milking star rating and her yearling doe will be eligible to begin her milking test when she freshens for her own 13 star rating. Both are bottle fed babies to make sure they are CAE free and love people. And the sire of the coming babies is a 3rd generation mini nubian buck who's buckskin pinto with blue eyes. The offspring will be eligible for mini registration. One doe is red pinto with dark points and one doe is black and white.


* A restful spring break. * 270+ church friends built 12 homes and one classroom in Mexico. * Teen stayed safe and had (occasionally ridiculous) fun playing rugby in Italy. * Great worship experiences over the last three weeks. * Tween has The Best Trumpet Teacher who makes loving music easy and joyful. * Books and more books. * Speaking to our Moms' group today (100+ women). * And now I have a full weekend ahead.
* And spring. I just can't get enough of all this new life!
This last one: The star caught my eye and sent me running for my camera. But now that I see the picture, the bud's face cracks me up!


Meet the filmmaker who directed Solange's "Dreams" video.
Terence Nance needs no introduction. Currently best-known for the 2018 HBO series Random Acts of Flyness, which he wrote, directed, executive produced and appeared in, the filmmaker and director has just been tapped by Black Panther director Ryan Coogler to direct the long-awaited sequel to 1996's Space Jam this year, which is set to star Lebron James. More? He's also making his own music, under moniker Terence Etc.
Hailed as one of the most talented, important and progressive artists of our generation, Texas-born Terence has most recently collaborated with none other than Solange on the accompanying video to her acclaimed album When I Get Home, for which he created a film for the track "Dreams".
In the wake of the album's release, we spoke to him about his relationship with Solange, artistic influences and what's to come.
Do you remember when you became interested in film and the visual arts? What drew you to this industry?
No, but because my family is very artistic. I didn't need to be drawn to it because I was in it. I don't see it as a separate world.
Are there any overarching themes that you've been consistently drawn to over the years?
Just the challenge of embodiment and the human experience of time.
How did you get involved with Solange's When I Get Home film?
After working on Random Acts of Flyness, she got in touch with me and asked me to do it.
As you were born in Texas, did you connect to the themes in the video on a personal level? Would you say there's an element of nostalgia to the visuals?
Yes, there is. I'm from there, she's from there. It's inspiring to the community to see Solange on the world stage, but also knowing that doesn't matter. You know, because it's for them. It's for Houston and Dallas.
Would you say you and Solange have a similar worldview and understanding of art?
Yes, we definitely have alignments. But think I am always inspired by her, and her mind, and how her ideas move through her. What she's expressing is extremely evocative and I am also interested in that type of catharsis and healing.
The film's colour palette feels very succinct and surreal. How do you go about developing colour selections?
Colour is emotional, so I try to meditate on the feeling at play. Then finding a colour that resonates that feeling. I usually do that with Shawn Peters, my DP, who is an emotionally attuned image maker.
Were there any key visual references or ideas behind the film?
The energy of the film "Take Shelter" by Jeff Nichols, some stills that I remembered seeing – not that the film was in my mind – but just something about that.
One thing I noticed throughout the film was the use of circles – in movement, locations, in jewellery. Would you say this is reflective of the "coming home", coming full circle theme?
That's a Solange question; you would have to ask her. I can say in her practice as a sculptor she has used many rings and circles and movement. I was definitely aligned with that.
Movement also feels central to the film – how did you want movement to feel for the viewer?
I didn't have any desires or prescriptions about how the viewer should feel. There is, however, a desire to revisit and restore.
Can you tell us a bit about the music you make?
It's mostly very meticulously constructed. Most of the songs have lasted over a decade. It's an outlet to exercise some traumas and triumphs. It's isolated more than anything else I do. It's a place where making music is elemental and natural to me, more than making other types of things.
What are you working on right now we can look forward to?
Watch the full When I Get Home film on Apple Music.


What was important to you? What went well? Was something missing? Were wishes met? Was there pain? Do you still need help?
While you may not have been affected by a life-limiting or life-shortening illness during your lifetime, we would still like to hear from you as it is likely at some point someone you know either personally or through family members or friends will need St Nicholas Hospice Care.
A copy of your experience will be sent to your email address.
We understand how important your story is to you, so please take the opportunity to express your preferences for how we use it during the Listen learn Adapt process.
Your story could help encourage others to share their experiences. Can we publish your story online anonymously for others?
Yes, I am happy for you to publish on your website and on social media.
If we have questions about your experience, would you be happy to be contacted for a more in depth conversation?

Employment law solicitor Hazel Phillips looks at the latest legislation updates.
In amongst all of the furore about the introduction of shared parental leave, employers shouldn't forget that as of 5th April, changes were also made to the old parental leave scheme.
This is the scheme under which employees can take up to 18 weeks of unpaid leave.
Under the old rules, the leave had to be taken before the child's 5th birthday or before the child's 18th birthday in the case of a disabled child. However, as of 5th April, unpaid parental leave can be taken at any time before the child's 18th birthday whether the child has a disability or not. Leave must still be taken in blocks of a week, 18 weeks can be taken per child but no more than four weeks can be taken in any year under the statutory scheme.


At least 30 people got sick after contracting an infectious bacteria called Shigella at a San Jose seafood restaurant, prompting the Santa Clara County Public Health Department to suspend the eatery's permit.
Of those, 11 were taken to the intensive care unit at hospitals, according to the Santa Clara County Public Health Department.
The patients ate at the Mariscos San Juan restaurant in at 205 N. Fourth Street in downtown San Jose on either Friday or Saturday, according to authorities. Santa Clara County food inspection reports shows the seafood restaurant had its permit suspended on Sunday.
Shigellosis, an intestinal infection caused by the Shigella bacteria, cause symptoms that include fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The bacteria can be treated with antiobiotics.
Officials said 11 people are hospitalized in intensive care after contracting Shigella at a San Jose restaurant, prompting the Santa Clara County Public Health Department to issue a warning. Terry McSweeney reports.
Andres Guera ate lunch at Mariscos San Juan No. 3 on Friday. The pain began soon afterward.
"My fever was at 104 -- that's when vomiting started," said Guera, who was still recovering late Monday after spending the weekend in the intensive care unit at Kaiser Permanente hospital in Santa Clara. "The first thing they did was put seven liters of fluid in me."
Guera soon found out he was not the only one sickened after an emergency room nurse told him "it was like a Hollywood movie down there with all the patients coming in."
Dr. Sara Cody, who serves as a Santa Clara County health officer, said Shigella can be spread by people who do not wash their hands after using the bathroom.
"(If you) don't wash your hands and have just a few bacteria, and then touch and serve food, that can spread Shigella," Cody said.
There are three Mariscos San Juan restaurants in San Jose. The original restaurant on Willow Street had its permit suspected in August, county records show. The second restaurant on Senter Road has never been cited this year.
In the last six months, online county records show that 81 restaurants have had their permits suspended due heath code violations ranging from improper sewage disposal, temperature control and employee record keeping.

According to the letter, part-time driver Lam Chang Nam, who claimed trial to extorting Koh's son last year, had been charged under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping or abducting on Monday.
It added that Lam was arrested on Jan 12 and appeared in court on Jan 15.
However, no details were given on whether the suspect was on remand or out on bail.
"Given the circumstances and the developments yesterday (Jan 15), we have decided that we will immediately cease the inquiry until further notice," said Mah today, The Star Online reported.
He cited Section 12(3) of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia Act that states that it should "immediately cease" an inquiry if the allegation becomes the subject matter of any court proceedings.
However, Mah said that Suhakam would proceed with the inquiry into the disappearance of social activist Amri Che Mat, Pastor Joshua Hilmi and his wife, Ruth Sitepu.
In March 2017, Lam was charged with extorting RM30,000 from Jonathan Koh Szu Hao, 33, for the release of his father, Raymond Koh.
Lam, 31, allegedly committed the offence at Paradigm Mall in Kelana Jaya here at 9.46pm on March 6 and was accused under Section 385 of the Penal Code for putting a person in fear of injury in order to commit extortion.
Koh, 62, was abducted by a group of men along Jalan SS4B/10 in Petaling Jaya on Feb 13, 2017 while on his way to a friend's house.
CCTV footage, believed to be of the incident, showed at least 15 men and three black SUVs involved in Koh's abduction.

Top 20 Smartest Animals In The World (Updated 2023)
By Rybecca Quinn
@rybeccaquinn
Animals are smarter than we often give them credit for.
Despite not being able to speak the same language or even create the same sounds with our mouths, humanity has found a way to communicate with multiple species.
While we may not know their exact thoughts, many animals are thinking complex series of thoughts on the same level as human toddlers.
Top 20 Smartest Animals In The World
Smart animals come in all different sizes from vastly different habitats, some calling the African plains home and others residing in deep blue seas.
Although some animals may not seem to have much going on behind their eyes, all of these animals are capable of creating complex thoughts and problem-solving patterns in order to survive in their daily lives.
1. Elephants
Elephants are animals that are best known for their impressive memories and incredibly high level of emotional intelligence.
These massive animals are so intelligent that they are able to distinguish different human languages.
In a study conducted by the University of Sussex, researchers recorded two men saying the same sentence in two different languages.
One man was from a local ethnic group, the Maasai, that had a history of killing wild elephants and the other local man was from an ethnic group, the Kamba, that didn't have a history of killing elephants.
When the Maasai man said, "Look over there, a group of elephants is coming," the elephants became more defensive and huddled together nervously.
The Kamba man saying the same line didn't invoke any kind of reaction from the elephants.
Elephants have learned what words lead to bad things for their herd, no matter what language they are hearing.
These animals' ability to remember human words is only one of many of their special talents that can be attributed to their intelligence.
2. Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees can often be spotted acting like little humans all over the internet, driving around kiddie cars and taking care of smaller animals like dogs or rabbits.
They're capable of having a large range of emotions and the ability to create relationships with animals of different species and to communicate clearly with each other and humans.
Chimpanzees are about as smart as a five-year-old child, often mimicking the way young children spend their days.
These animals are capable of laughing while playing, crying as they grieve.
They get jealous when someone else gets what they want and use touch as a way to show other members of their troop that they care.
Not only are chimps able to identify different objects, but they're also capable of giving logical names to objects.
These names have been identified by humans by teaching chimpanzees American Sign Language.
3. Pigs
Pigs are considered to be the fifth smartest species on the planet, which makes them even more intelligent than dogs.
Similar to dogs, pigs are capable of remembering cause-and-effect and have an excellent sense of direction.
Their sense of direction feeds into their ability to remember what has happened at certain locations, especially when it comes to finding or receiving food.
Even if a pig travels a long distance away, they're able to easily trot their way back home.
When compared to humans, pigs are about as smart as three-year-old children.
Pigs understand the importance of hygiene, despite being big fans of rolling around in the mud.
They will collect trash in certain areas that are far away enough from their sleeping area and wherever they eat most commonly.
The mud helps keep them cool in the hotter months and helps them prevent and heal sunburns.
4. Rats
Rats are the smartest rodents in the world, despite the tiny size of their bodies and brains.
Like other common pets, rats have exhibited preferences for activities and people.
When rats are happy about their company, they will purr like a cat or even let out a high-pitched, squeaky giggle.
Rats don't make their decisions blindly, but instead, they make their decisions based on what they do or do not know, which is referred to as metacognition.
Unlike other species of common house rodents like rabbits or guinea pigs, rats are incredibly easy to train and are often eager to please.
Most rat owners find that the best way to train your rat is to start by teaching it what its name is and to come to you when you call it.
Once a rat has been rewarded enough times, it will quickly begin to mimic the desired behavior.
The more tricks you teach a rat, the happier your rat will become because of the increased mental stimulation and the chance to earn more rewards.
5. Dogs
Dogs can be just as intelligent as they are loyal, which is why they've become the perfect companions for humans.
Man's best friends are able to remember cause-and-effect situations, possess problem-solving skills, and even learn English.
Their ability to complete complex, chained commands has given dogs multiple purposes throughout civilization that have been ingrained into their DNA.
There are dogs for hunting, herding, guarding, and even sniff-work.
To see the peak of what a dog's intelligence can be, take a glance at service dogs and their necessary skills.
These dogs are taught to do things that humans can't, such as smell upcoming seizures and hear heart problems.
The newest trend for dog owners online is to begin teaching them to use English words through buttons that the dogs can press.
One of the dogs to popularize this trend is Bunny the Sheepadoodle, known as @whataboutbunny on Instagram and TikTok.
6. Parrots
Parrots are best known for their ability to learn English and repeat it back with eerie accuracy.
Thanks to their genes, parrots are capable of complex cognition and have a brain development pattern that is similar to human development.
They are incredibly social animals that need to have other creatures to communicate with and spend time around.
Otherwise, they fall into a deep depression.
Scientists have been studying the connection between their brain development and their lifetime.
There are 344 different genes that are associated with these two different traits, with different parrot species seeing different levels of complexity.
There are 30 different species of parrots that are seen to have similar brain development as humans.
Parrots can do more than just talk, with other common acts of intelligence including using tools and having a great sense of object permanence.
They remember around 100 words, sometimes more, and they can learn to talk about all sorts of situations.
7. Goats
While goats may not seem like the smartest animals in the barnyard, they actually have an impressive memory and a complex social structure.
Goats are seen as being just as smart as whales, dolphins, and other ultra-smart animals.
To prove the intelligence of goats, researchers from the Queen Mary University of London teamed up with the Institute of Agricultural Science in Switzerland to put goats to the test with a challenge designed by primate researchers.
The researchers placed fruit inside a plastic box and made the goats use their teeth to pull a rope and then use their noses to lift another lever up.
Out of the 12 goats that took part in this examination, nine of them were able to learn the trick after only four tries.
The nine goats that were able to learn the trick were tested 10 months later and nearly all of them were able to get the fruit in around a minute.
Only one goat was unable to remember how to get the fruit.
8. Dolphins
Dolphins are often credited as being one of the smartest animals in the world, with their ability to solve complex problems, maintain a complex social structure, understand human interactions, and even teach other complex tasks taught to them by humans.
A dolphin's brain weighs a little over 3.5 pounds on average, which means that dolphins have one of the largest brain-to-body ratios which is second only to the human's brain-to-body ratio.
Unlike humans and primates, dolphins process language and auditory information in their temporal lobes.
What gives dolphins their remarkable ability to understand and read the emotions of those around them is their highly developed paralimbic systems.
The complexity of these ocean mammals' brains is what gives them their unique emotional intelligence.
Their brains give them the ability to recognize themselves in mirrors, understand the meaning of symbol-based communication, create their own cultures, and understand abstract thoughts.
9. New Caledonian Crows
Although all crows, ravens, and rooks are smarter than most other birds, the New Caledonian crow is the smartest out of the bunch.
One crow named Betty was the crow that represented the New Caledonian crows during a test to see how well crows could use tools.
For the test, scientists at Oxford University took a piece of meat and put it down a tube that was too wide for Betty to fit in.
She decided to take a piece of wire that was left in her cage and used another nearby object to bend the end of the wire.
Betty had used the object in the cage as a tool to create another tool out of the piece of wire, creating a hook that she then used to get the food out of the thin tube.
However, Betty isn't the only New Caledonian crow to begin using tools.
Scientists have seen wild New Caledonian crows using twigs and other goods they've foraged as hooked tools to get the things they want that they can't reach.
10. Gorillas
Gorilla troops are extremely complex social structures that gorillas have formed over time to ensure their safety against all of their natural predators.
They have a powerful sense of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
There is no gorilla that is better known for its intelligence than Koko the Gorilla.
Koko knew more than 1,000 signs and knew more than 2,000 spoken words.
The western lowland gorilla was used as the mascot for animal rights, environmental preservation, and was the face of The Gorilla Foundation.
During her 46 years of life, she met all sorts of people and even became close friends with the late actor Robin Williams.
When Koko's caregivers told her about Robin Williams's passing, she began to mourn and remained mournful for a long time.
Koko was known for being incredibly caring, even fostering her own kittens.
Koko began learning sign language when she was incredibly young after being sent to Penny Patterson.
She had been rejected by her mother because she had fallen ill soon after her birth.
Little did Patterson know that she was starting Koko on the road to stardom.
11. Cats
Cats have always been known for being brighter than dogs thanks to their ability to remain independent even after domestication.
Their stronger sense of intelligence can also be attributed to their more impressive memory than dogs.
Cats are able to remember the events of a day for up to 16 hours, which makes their memory 200 times better than dogs.
Although dogs may be the better servants of humanity, cats' brains are vastly more complex.
Cats have 300 neurons going off in their brains, but dogs only have 160 neurons.
A cat's stronger intelligence is what makes it a less efficient worker.
Dogs aren't smart enough to question why they're doing something.
They only know what happens when they do a certain task or action.
Cats are well aware that nothing happens if they don't do as they're told, so they continue doing what they want to until there's something beneficial about doing as they're told by humans.
12. Octopus
Octopuses are one of the smartest creatures in the ocean, which may have to do with the fact that octopuses have more than one brain.
Each of their legs and their body has its own brain that is responsible for moving each limb and communicating with the other brains.
Like dolphins, octopuses have impressive brain-to-body ratios.
Their brains are larger compared to their bodies than any other invertebrate and larger than most other invertebrates in their entirety.
They are also one of the few invertebrates to learn how to use tools.
Octopuses frequently use the approximately 500 million collective neurons inside their donut-shaped brains.
13. Orangutans
Orangutans are one of the primates on the planet and have the unique talent of being able to talk about the past.
Displaced reference, or the ability to talk about things or events that are not physically present, is a unique trait for orangutans that is only shared with humans.
In a study conducted by the University of Saint Andrew's in Scotland, orangutans were tested by seeing how they would respond within their group when they think they have seen nearby predators.
The predators in question were actually just scientists who were dressed up as some of their most common predators.
When the orangutans would see the scientists, they first would become overwhelmed with fear for a moment before they began hiding their young and warning the other orangutans to what they had just seen.
14. Raccoons
Raccoons are smart, sneaky, conniving little creatures and anyone who has ever had to try to keep them from getting into their trash knows just how good these masked mammals are at problem solving.
They've learned how to get around a multitude of human-made solutions to get to some of their favorite treats.
On average, a raccoon has 438 million neurons in its small brain.
To test their problem-solving skills, scientists have performed the Aesop test.
The Aesop test has food floating at the bottom of a tub of water that is too shallow for the raccoons to reach.
The scientists then showed the raccoons that they could raise the water level by placing stones in the container of water.
The tested raccoons were able to quickly understand the relationship between dropping the stone and the water rising.
This allowed them to be rewarded with marshmallows.
15. Squirrels
Squirrels may not seem like some of the smartest animals in the forest, but they have an incredible memory and are able to trick other animals.
Not only are squirrels able to remember where they've hidden their spoils even after hibernation, but they are also known to set traps for other foragers who may try to steal their food.
The squirrel digs deep into the ground when it knows that other rodents and birds are watching it.
It will then fill the hole with bogus food like rocks or rotten foods, allowing its onlookers to come and investigate the hole.
While they try going after the fake food archive, the squirrel is given more time to hide its real food stash in secret.
Pigeons may not seem like they have any thoughts behind their blank stares, but they are actually one of the few types of birds that can recognize themselves in the mirror.
There was once a time when people would use pigeons to deliver messages because of their excellent sense of direction.
Pigeons are even able to decipher photographs.
When asked to tell two people apart in a photograph, pigeons have proven to understand the difference between people even when they aren't physically there.
There have even been pigeons that are capable of telling each letter of the alphabet apart, proving that pigeons may not be as dumb as everyone seems to think.
They're mentally closer to parrots than any other bird, excluding crows.
17. Otters
Otters are more than just cute faces.
They're animals with complex social structures and a strong sense of curiosity.
There are two different social groups of which otters will be a part: families and clans.
Families consist of mothers and their young that band together to defend themselves from predators and gather the resources they need in order to survive.
Clans are groups of adult males that will only return to their families when it is time to mate.
Otters use a unique type of communication to express where their territory is, which is called olfaction.
They will rub their scent onto their bedding sites, dens, rolling sites, haulouts, and digging.
18. Whales
Whales such as the humpback whale have more cortical convolutions and surface area than humans.
These titans of the deep ocean have the largest brains on the planet, but that doesn't always mean that they're the smartest.
An adult male sperm whale's brain is about 488.19 cubic inches in size while a human's brain is just 79.33 cubic inches.
When compared to its closest land-dwelling relative, the hippopotamus, scientists believe that whales' need to communicate efficiently and their constant need to socialize has allowed their intelligence to advance quickly over their evolution.
19. Horses
The barnyard is filled with intelligent creatures that humanity has convinced to work alongside them.
With intelligence similar to that of a dog, horses stand out for their ability to understand verbal and visual cues they receive from humans.
Horses are able to understand and remember complex sequences, which is often shown off at equestrian events.
When communicating with other horses, these noble creatures prefer to use their ears and body language.
Horses also have impressive memories, which are normally reserved for remembering and avoiding painful experiences.
Because of their ability to remember painful experiences for years, horses are easily traumatized.
20. Capuchin Monkeys
Capuchin monkeys are the smartest New World monkeys and are often considered to be on the same intellectual level as chimpanzees.
Their ability to learn and memorize tasks has earned them many roles throughout Hollywood.
Scientists are also intrigued by capuchin monkeys thanks to their ability to create and use their own tools.
Capuchin monkeys have been spotted using rocks to crack nuts, making them one of the few species of animals to use such basic tools.
Their pleasant personalities have also earned them a place as a reliable option for those looking for a service animal.
When given the opportunity to learn, capuchin monkeys have proven capable of even more complex tasks than a service dog.

NCAA and GMA-7 Merge Forces! NCAA's Succeeding Seasons to Air in Kapuso Network
byRunner Rocky - December 18, 2020
GMA Network and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) officially sign the landmark deal covering the broadcast rights for NCAA Season 96 to 101.
GMA Network and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) officially sign the landmark deal covering the broadcast rights for NCAA Season 96 to 101 – including the centennial year of the Philippines' first athletic league in 2024. The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing was held on Thursday, December 17, at the Colegio de San Juan de Letran in Manila.
Through the wide reach of the country's largest Network, the five-and-a-half-year partnership will allow viewers across the Philippines and around the world to catch the NCAA games on GMA News TV, GMA Pinoy TV, and via online streaming on www.GMANetwork.com. GMA is set to broadcast the league's major sports such as basketball, volleyball, swimming, athletics, and cheerleading. Further, the Men's Basketball Finals will be aired on the Kapuso Network's main channel, GMA-7.
Signing for GMA were GMA Network Chairman and CEO Felipe L. Gozon and President and COO Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., who both attended virtually. GMA Executive Vice President and CFO Felipe S. Yalong also witnessed the MOA signing virtually, while present at the venue were Chief Marketing Officer Lizelle G. Maralag, Senior Vice President for Finance and ICT Ronaldo P. Mastrili, SVP for Corporate Strategic Planning and Business Development and concurrent Chief Risk Officer and Head of Program Support Regie C. Bautista, and VP and Head for Regional TV and concurrent Head of Synergy Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.
On the other hand, leading the signatories for NCAA was Season 96 Policy Board President Fr. Rector Clarence Victor C. Marquez, OP of Colegio de San Juan de Letran with the NCAA Policy Board members: Fr. Aloysius Maranan, OSB of San Beda University, Dr. Vincent Fabella of Jose Rizal University, Dr. Reynaldo Vea of Mapua University, Bro. Edmundo Fernandez, FSC of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Fr. Nemesio Tolentin, OAR of San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Anthony Jose Tamayo of the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, Francisco Paulino Cayco of Arellano University, Dr. Jose Paulo Campos of Emilio Aguinaldo College, and Atty. Roberto Laurel of Lyceum of the Philippines University.
Also present were the NCAA Management Committee (ManCom) led by Season 96 Chair Fr. Victor C. Calvo, Jr., OP, of Colegio de San Juan de Letran, Atty. Jonas Florentino Cabochan of San Beda University, Efren Jose Supan of Jose Rizal University, Melchor Divina of Mapua University, Manuel Raymund Castellano of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, Fr. Glynn Ortega, OAR of San Sebastian College-Recoletos, Francisco Gusi, Jr. of the University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, Peter Cayco of Arellano University, Estefanio Boquiron, Jr. of Emilio Aguinaldo College, and Hercules Callanta of Lyceum of the Philippines University.
Gozon, who earlier on expressed his gratitude to the NCAA board for trusting GMA to become their new home, likewise assured that NCAA made the right choice to be with the number one network. "This team-up with the country's first athletic league is very much meaningful for us in GMA. We are looking forward to show everyone the world-class talent of our young Filipino student athletes and rest assured that we will only give what is best for them as GMA Network wholeheartedly welcomes the NCAA into our home."
"Having the opportunity to serve as a platform for NCAA in shaping our future national athletes is indeed an honor for the Kapuso Network. The fans and supporters of the NCAA can expect that GMA will pull all the stops to bring the best collegiate sports viewing experience for everyone," said Duavit.
"More than putting ink on paper, this MOA between the NCAA and GMA Network is really an act of hope, committing the 10-member schools of the first and longest-running collegiate athletic league in partnership with the number 1 multi-media network, to fulfilling the dreams of our student-athletes to healthy and safe competition, and inspiring our school communities and the entire country towards a better way of engaging and enjoying sports, especially in the context of this pandemic," shared Marquez.
"We believe that with GMA's reach and platforms, the NCAA will be the undisputed number one collegiate league in the country. The first athletic league in the country and Asia deserves to be in the number one Network in the Philippines. Arriba NCAA @ GMA!" Calvo said.

The artificial intelligence 3.0.
Rethinking the way Data is communicated and understood is now possible.
a multi-dimensional database
WHENEVER WE ENTER INTO A FORM OF COMMUNICATION (oral, written, artistic, musical, professional, etc.), in the background, our consciousness instantly opens up a connection via resonance with positive (+), negative (-) and/or variable (+-) aspects, experienced and recorded within us during all of the informative exchanges we've encountered since birth.
In response to this internal communication, an associative symbolic reaction between our + and – aspects is then activated and sends forth signals in the forms of thoughts, emotions and behaviours. These processes are related to conscious & unconscious memory, emerging as and engendering a great variety of states of conscience, such as joy, delight, doubt, worry, anger, sadness or even empathy, confidence, love, etc. Each emotion, quality, weakness or variable is associated with one or a series of symbols, to specific memories. Thus, we can decode and understand the multiple influences exerted by our memories and the probabilities contained in them.
In this perspective, each individual experiences the emergence of + and/or – states of consciousness pertaining to their personal experience and therefore experiences distinctive or selective singularity of events and encounters depending on the memories they have recorded. This singularity, which corresponds to a concentration of data in a person's inner computer, represents a very powerful dynamic for human consciousness, because it engenders a deep sense of uniqueness regarding the choices made by each individual person worldwide. Hence, on calculating the algorithms, we can gather very precise Data on the behavioral tendencies, thoughts, emotions and experiences of people around the world, since affinities and similarities intersect when a similar memory is common to a group of individuals.
This singularity, which is both profound and multidimensional, leads us to understand why one person is going to be more affected than another on hearing the news, and why a person is going to be frightened at the sight of blood or an accident, and not another. There is therefore an unconscious experience, a baggage that accumulates over time, which is part of the multidimensional memories inherent to each being, and which contains data that can be understood and calculated.
On the technological level, background analysis using the Source Code Program enables the measurement, via algorithms, of all kinds of states of mind, and to calculate in real time the influences that engender behaviors. Memory is like a dormant, inactive volcano, which, when it has accumulated a certain level of fire (energy), of unconscious forces, tends to wake up, become active and emerge in a conscious or unconscious form. Thus, observable, tangible forms (behavior, gesture, emotions) are directly related to the set of positive and negative experiences recorded in our genetic code throughout our life. The results of our experiences gradually establish our own multi-dimensions in the way we perceive and discern the information that surrounds us.
In other words, whenever we communicate consciously or unconsciously, in whatever form, we deploy a positive or negative resonance from our personal database and knowledge, which defines all our past and present reflections and emotions, and which also makes it possible to calculate the probabilities of our future and our intentional functionings (which, in technology, is referred to as predictive analysis).
Our consciousness... a living computer
A new technological stage
In the history of human and digital communication
This new stage opens up a new dimension of understanding which is a pivotal point in an era where the globalization of information is at the center of preoccupations and avant-garde research. This multidimensional decoding of all human thoughts, emotions and behavioral dynamics via the fundamental symbolic language that is now possible enables a multitude of concrete applications for the following:
Capacity to develop Artificial Intelligence with a deep understanding of the mechanisms of human consciousness
Conception of study programs encouraging the improvement of the individual through increased understanding of the symbolic
Development of computerized behavioural recognition systems, which can be employed for security and protection purposes
Development of digital assistance systems for psychoanalysis (for use in hospitals, medical practices, in psychiatry and other therapeutic methods
Analysis & interpretation of dreams and other forms of language
Development of virtual or augmented reality software
THE SOURCE CODE TECHNOLOGY (SCT) FOUNDATION holds the rights to a unique computing language and code that will revolutionize research in the development of both human and artificial intelligence. This language of unexpected possibilities has been tested on tens of thousands of real-life cases and is the result of more than 25 years of research carried out by a team of experts in symbolic decoding and analytical psychology; a team made up of 100+ professors, doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists.
By using the Source Code of consciousness through a software that analyses all kinds of data inputs, this technology finally provides the ability to analyze and interpret any type of human signals, be they facial expression, micro-expressions, voice, position, clothing, and even dreams, which represent the conscious and unconscious mechanisms of our deepest, intimate operating states. By not limiting itself to only human aspects, this research enables complementary development via predictive & symbolic analysis of the physical world, its multiple angles of functioning and its aesthetics, such as colors, shapes, proportions, dispositions, which are codes that develop progressively from childhood, and which evolve through all our new experiences. By combining these sources of information at the symbolic level via the analysis of dreams and conscious and unconscious modes of functioning, Source Code Technology Foundation is able to provide a highly advanced descriptive map of the mechanisms of an individual's behavior and personality. Whether it is with regard to one's conscious or unconscious intentions, the probabilities of activating happiness or problems in personal, married, family and/or professional life, or obtaining a global perspective of one's strengths and weaknesses, our research offers essential keys to be used in robotics and computer communication systems. This is due to the fact that all symbols are first and foremost the manifestation of, or directly related to, states of consciousness; in the same way that a person decides to offer a flower to show his affection or emotion.
Our Foundation now offers solutions and services to enable "updates" of the knowledge stored in the "database" of human consciousness, which provides new keys for the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through our extensive research and expertise in symbolic and predictive language. It thus participates in research into human consciousness, the mechanisms of memory, as well as robotics and predictive analysis.
Due to the extent of encrypted information, as well as taking into account their archetypal connections to the human conscience, symbols establish a decoding language, which is computer programmable and accessible to people of all ages. Currently, we have ongoing school and training courses on emotional intelligence (EQ), enabling thousands of children and adults to study Symbolic Language, discover its benefits, use it to interpret and understanding their dreams & signs (mode of operation of associations), and make predictive analyses of their life in real-time, according to logical, very concrete deductions.
These new technological possibilities offered via the various Source Code Technology Foundation (SCT) programs announce a major change and simultaneously represent great hope in the possibilities of succeeding in understanding the importance of emotional intelligence (EQ), its interconnection with consciousness, the unconscious, and Symbolic Language, thanks to which we can decode dreams, signs, symbols, and everything that constitutes the very foundations of our experience and programming as a human being.
Our intelligence is constantly evolving, renewing itself and adapting, and Symbolic Language leads us to multiple understandings that we can apply to our daily life, especially when undergoing difficulties. Combining our intelligence with this data-processing, Symbolic Language, we also develop the capacity to transform negative cognitive, emotional and behavioral potential into positive conscious information; which is a giant step forward for the field of psychology and the various forms of mental illnesses. Symbols, which are the very basis of human knowledge, can be coded and represent completely logical, inter-associated, conscious and unconscious aspects… Symbolic Language is comparable with the binary code composed of associations of 0 and 1, hence with notions of opening and closing… of receptivity and emissivity, etc.
Finally, when it comes to our life, what would you think if all that we seek were summed up in one goal: the development of qualities & virtues to be happy?


I even tried it when my boyfriend and I took a short break, and I found it was painstakingly difficult and more complicated than my experience dating an older guy. The texting games (How long should I wait to text him back? It's exhausting), the fear of commitment that plagues most twentysomethings, and the simple fact that most guys my age aren't as emotionally mature as I am.It can be tough when you and your older partner can't share childhood commonalities (dude's never read a book!?We gebruiken cookies om inhoud en advertenties relevanter te maken en je een veiligere ervaring te bieden.Als je op de website klikt of op de website navigeert, ga je ermee akkoord dat we op en buiten Facebook informatie verzamelen via cookies.Older men, it seems to me, are like gold dust on the dating scene right now.
Not to p--- on your parade, but be aware that most of us 20-somethings are more than capable of being pretty damn lazy and stubborn too.
Similarly, if you're getting attached and she's planning on moving to Japan for six months, you should probably have a super-fun and not-at-all-awkward conversation about "where you see this going".

Q: Regular expression to capture command How can I make a regular expression that matches clear abc and then I capture abc which can vary?
The command clear will always be the same and the structure of the string will always be clear ? where ? can vary.
I guess it is something like /^clear \w$/ where ^ makes sure that the string starts with clear. But I want to make sure that it only matches something that has two words where the first word is clear, so that it doesn't match, for instance, clear ab cd ef. The word after clear can both be 1 character and multiple characters, but it can never start with a number.
Edit
From the answers, I got the regex /^clear [a-zA-Z]\w*$/.
What if the variable after clear can be things like a and ab but also f(x, y). Would it then just be /^clear [a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z() ]*$/, so it also accepts (, ) and space ()?
Can it be a little more robust by making sure it has the design f(...) if it ever contains parentheses, so I don't end up matching e.g. f)dsada?

A:
The word after clear can both be 1 character and multiple characters, but it can never start with a number.

You can use this regex:
/^clear [a-zA-Z]\w*$/

*

*[a-zA-Z] ensures it start with an alphabet

*\w* after will match 0 or more word characters after first letter

If POSIX character classes are available then use:
/^clear [[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]_]*$/

Q: VB Simple Form To Update Database Using SqlCommand I have one field form that has an editor and I'm trying to update my database. I can populate the form data and decode it for display but I'm unable to get it to update. The code below is from my submit button and I'm doing two things encode the content and save it to the database. I'm not getting any errors just a page refresh. The syntax as far as I've found looks right.
In the example below the "CKEditorControl1" is my WYSIWYG text editor. It outputs html which I'm attempting to encode and save.
 Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim section = Page.Request.Params("SectionName")

    Dim conn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("myConnectionString").ConnectionString)

    conn.Open()
    Dim command As New SqlCommand("UPDATE PageContent SET SectionBody = @SectionBody WHERE SectionName = @SectionName", conn)

    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SectionName", section.ToString())
    command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SectionBody", Server.HtmlEncode(CKEditorControl1.Text))

    command.ExecuteNonQuery()

    conn.Close()
 End Sub

A: So I found that my submit code had nothing wrong with it from the start. The issue was how I was populating the editor control from the beginning which was on page load. On postback to update the page load was preventing the update from happening from the editor. For a textbox control the postback didn't effect it. When I did a trace of the updated content on submit between the textbox and the editor I saw the postback was in fact the issue. A little if statement in my page load to prevent the post back from overwriting my update to populate the form and presto.

GUEST INTERVIEWS | Taste & See that the Lord is good
Holding on when you want to let go | with Sheila Walsh
Clinging to hope when life falls apart
Season 6, episode 118
48 min / Published November 1, 2021
By Stéphanie Rousselle
Please use the following link to support us. Thank you!
Episode 118 – How do we hold on when we want to let go? How do we persevere with God when we are about to give up? How do we answer our WHY questions? How does our trauma inform and shape our faith? How can we know that God is trustworthy in the midst of trauma, crisis and disaster? Stephanie welcomes international speaker, bestselling author and fellow Bible geek Sheila Walsh. From Scotland, Sheila is an author, Bible teacher and television host. She has spoken around the world to over 6 million people and reaches a potential 100 million daily as co-host of the Life Today television program. Sheila loves to make the Bible practical, sharing how God met her at her lowest point and helped her to rise up again. Her message? God is faithful and He is holding you!
Sheila's books have sold over 5.5 million copies including multiple bestsellers "It's Okay Not To Be Okay" and her new book "Holding On When You Want To Let Go." This latest book is the focus of our episode today.
Sheila vulnerably shares the traumatic events of her childhood, the loneliness, anxiety, and depression that still creep into her life, how the coronavirus pandemic magnified and exacerbated her struggles, and the source of the hope that keeps her holding on each and every day. "I am still learning how to be healed and whole," says Sheila Walsh. "God is still writing my story. He is writing yours too. The pieces are not lost. You are not forgotten, overlooked, pushed aside. Your story is simply not finished yet. We all wish that we were able to be the perfect parents, partners, friends, to never bruise another soul, but we are flawed and that's why each one of us needs a Father." In an effort to connect with the millions worldwide who are hurting struggling with mental health and pain from their past, Sheila honestly shares the issues that plague her, the promises and miracles she clings to, and the practical strategies and steps and that have helped sustain her on her journey to keep holding on.
For those having a hard time hanging on, Sheila offers a lifeline of hope. With great compassion born of experience and hardship, she comes alongside the hurting, fearful, and exhausted to remind them that no matter how insurmountable their struggles may feel, hope and love are freely available from the God who writes their story. Sharing from her own pain and digging deep into biblical stories of rescue, hope, and miracles, she gives readers the strength to keep going, to keep holding on to God in a world turned upside down. "I don't know what the missing pieces in your story are. I don't know the circumstances you find yourself in right now or why you might feel as if you are just clinging to hope by a thin thread. But I do know this. You are not alone. You are not abandoned. You are seen. You are loved. You are believed. You are forgiven. You are free. Hold on to God with everything that's in you and on the days when you feel yourself slipping, remember you are being held."

Good day players, well most of you might be disappointed with the patch that should have taken place but out of luck we could'nt make it work as the new server files are having conflicts with the old ones. It will take more time than expected to fully release a new patch for the game. So for the meantime we assigned 3 new staff members to take care of matters both ingame and in the ticket system.
We introduce to you [EM]Rhodes and [EM]Profane, these 2 ems will have authority to make events round the clock and on a daily basis.
The other staff member will be [GM]Flow, he will be in-charge of the ticket system and will guide both Rhodes and Profane if they are having troubles with the events/players. He might also do events whenever both EMs are unavailable.
There were rumors spreading that i'm gonna sell the server, unfortunately it's not an option.
Lastly, we're gonna make a poll on whether we will create a 2nd iroseph server. I need cooperation from everyone. We will both post it here and on the fb page. The goal for the 2nd server is simple, new competition and players from other rose online servers can make a fresh start. We will still maintain server 1 but the competition is almost dead here that only long time players can have all the advantages vs new players. In short server 1 reached it's peak already and patches are only short lived. If for example server 2 launches and new clans can dominate there then we will make a poll again on whether to merge the 2 servers. So that clan events will be fun again.
Happy 2019 everyone and let's all hope for the best.


I'm NOT talking about a standing desk, timers, multitasking, or 2 minute rules. The BEST way to improve productivity & health is the most fun and ultimately also improves relationships, life, mood; And the scientific evidence is very clear! Vacation has enormous benefits to your health.
The amazing thing is that MILLIONS of Americans do not use all their vacation days and so are not getting the benefits of the relaxing breathing space that you get on a vacation! Using your vacation days doesn't have to mean you have to plan a big long cruise or airplane tickets. An escape of a day or two to a nearby town or bed & breakfast to experience peace, release tension, breathe and reconnect with an important person in your life is just as powerful to your well-being.
There is power in taking a vacation and the benefits are clear. There are approximately 658 million vacation days that go unused each year in America!!!* Don't be a statistic-Break free from work and tension for quick escapes. The biggest key here is to plan your getaway. Ask yourself when you can take a quick escape and then plan it.
This is your new Health Exercise: 1. Plan your getaway, 2. Escape, Breathe & Relax, 3. Repeat in a few months.
If you want to experience some peace and relaxation on a quick escape in the middle of your week, book an overnight mid-week or weekend getaway here www.FoxHoundInn.com, Buck's County's Most Romantic Escape. An Inn for All Seasons.


RALEIGH - The N.C. Department of Transportation today closed a section of Exum Road north of Nashville in Nash County so crews with S.T. Wooten Co. of Wilson could begin replacement of the bridge over Basket Creek.A $923,782 contract was awarded in December 2013 to S.T. Wooten Co. for the replacement of the 58-year-old bridge. The new bridge is scheduled to open to traffic no later than August 15. Due to the condition of the bridge, NCDOT posted a weight limit restricting single-axle vehicles weighing more than 26 tons and trucks weighing more than 29 tons from using the bridge. The new bridge will be built to current design standards and will not have posted weight limits.The bridge is closed to traffic during construction with a detour in place. Motorists will use Breedlove Road and Womble Road to get around the construction site. Motorists are advised to use caution while traveling in the area and to expect delays. NCDOT reminds motorists to watch signs for construction information, stay alert and obey the posted speed limit. For real-time travel information at any time, call 511, visit www.ncdot.gov/travel or follow NCDOT on Twitter at www.ncdot.gov/travel/twitter. Another option is NCDOT Mobile, a phone-friendly version of the NCDOT website. To access it, type "m.ncdot.gov" into the browser of your smartphone. Then, bookmark it to save for future reference. NCDOT Mobile is compatible with the iPhone, Android and some newer Blackberry phones.

Dæmon
Biological type:
Dæmos
Notable individuals:
Mastho
Khnum
Bonjaxx
First seen in:
The Dæmons
The Dæmons were a race of powerful humanoids who profoundly affected humankind.
Dæmons were satyr-like humanoids with reddish skin or completely red (Dæmos Rising). and thick fur. They had sharp fangs, pointed ears, thick beards and long horns. Their legs were goat-like, with cloven hooves. They could use their technology to change their size, which could have been anything from "too small to see" to thirty feet tall. (The Dæmons) Some of this species, like the traditional picture of a demon, possessed long, forked tails. (Voyage to the Edge of the Universe)
Dæmons of the military were modified, giving them vast wings, spatiodynamic bodies, sweptback horns and long necks, allowing them to glide through hyperspace with minimal effort. (Interference – Book Two)
Like a million other worlds "right across the universe", Dæmos had "the representation of the horned beast" in its myths and legends. The Beast claimed to be this "devil", along with all of the others in every religion which had such a figure. (The Satan Pit)
the Third Doctor seemed to initially regard them as not evil, but coldly logical and amoral, without sentiment, which Azal's actions would bear out. (The Dæmons)
However, they also seemed to organise according to the nuclear family structure and care for their mates and children. (Voyage to the Edge of the Universe) At a later stage of his life the Seventh Doctor had made the acquaintance of a friendly Dæmon known as Bonjaxx and attended a birthday party in honour of him. (Party Animals)
The Dæmons had technology indistinguishable from magic. They possessed matter-energy conversion technology which allowed them to shrink and grow things at will. They used this both to increase their own size (which could range from microscopically small to thirty feet tall) and to reduce the size of their ships in order to hide them. they were had the ability to set up heat force fields which could disintegrate anything that moved into it. They could animate stone statues, as with the living gargoyle known as Bok. They could also discharge bolts of electricity.
A Dæmon could be psychically summoned by a special ritual, three of which were performed by The Master. The ceremony required negative emotions such as fear, which could be provided by frightened humans. The more people that were involved and the more impressive the ritual, the more effective it was. Though these negative emotions could power the Dæmon, it also meant positive emotions could be dangerous. A Dæmon would only appear three times in response to these rituals.
Azal offered his powers to the Third Doctor when The Master, who desired them, had proved himself unworthy. This would suggest that they could give their powers if they chose to. (The Dæmons)
The Dæmons were an ancient race from Dæmos (The Dæmons) who were powerful 150 million years BC. they were involved in the Millennium War and were one of the first species to strike back against the Mad Mind of Bophemeral stopping it from using a dark-matter cloud in the Rift of Perseus. (The Quantum Archangel)
The Dæmons studied other races, treating the universe as their laboratory. (The Dæmons) Using a spacecraft, one Dæmon travelled to the edge of the physical universe, a feat achieved by few other beings. (Voyage to the Edge of the Universe)
Much of their history was recounted by the Third Doctor. According to him, circa 100,000 years BC, the Dæmons arrived on Earth, helped the humans overcome the Neanderthals and then tried to lead their evolution and development. According to Azal, the Dæmons destroyed failed experiments, such as Atlantis. (The Dæmons) According to one account, the Dæmons gave the Atlanteans the Crystal of Kronos, which later indirectly caused the destruction of Atlantis. (The Quantum Archangel, The Time Monster)
the Third Doctor said the Dæmons inspired myths of gods and demons and the image of powerful beings with horns, including the Egyptian god Khnum. They had been "coming and going ever since". Miss Hawthorne identified Azal as "the Devil". According to The Doctor, the Dæmons inspired the Greek civilisation, the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution. (The Dæmons)
Wesley Sparks claimed to have duelled Dæmons as one of his many achievements. (Mortal Beloved)
In the 20th century, Azal called himself the last of the Dæmons. (The Dæmons)
The Dæmons were completely wiped out by some sort of massive cataclysmic event. It was believed to be a battle, as the Dæmon corpses were found in their battle form. Faction Paradox used the skeletal remains of the Dæmons as warships. (Interference – Book Two)
A Dæmon called Mastho once manifested on Earth during three different points of time. Kate Stewart and Douglas Cavendish were responsible for its supposed destruction. (Dæmos Rising)
Minor references
The Dæmons were filed in the Fourth Doctor's memory files. (Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)
In The Doctor Who spin-off, Dæmos Rising, and the Time Hunter book, Child of Time, a living Dæmon called Mastho was summoned by the Sodality, but like Azal, he too was destroyed. It was unsure if this was either before the cataclysmic event or after, or if there were any other surviving Dæmons.
The FASA The Doctor Who Role Playing Game "Sourcebook of Field Agents" states that Gallifreyan scientists have speculated that the Great Vampires are an offshoot of the Dæmons.
