The elephant is Ralph Steadman's favourite animal. Now on the red list of endangered species, elephant populations have declined by 71 percent since the artist – one of our very greatest – was born 81 years ago. It's partly because of elephants that Steadman, Hunter S Thompson's collaborator-in-chief of three-and-a-half decades, finally found a reason to draw – really draw – again. It's been 12 years since Thompson was found dead at home with a bullet in his skull.
Ceri Levy used to work as a documentary maker for the pop bands Blur and Gorillaz, but felt something was missing from his life and, on a whim, became the brave and passionate type of conservationist who gets beaten up or arrested for protesting against the illegal shooting of Marsh Harriers.

Levy's arty side made him want to lift conservation work out of the domain of angry recrimination. He worshipped Ralph Steadman and sent him a letter asking him whether he'd consider collaborating on a book (as a teenager, Levy had read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and cribbed the drawings to pass his art O level). Steadman emailed back, saying that though he didn't really know what Levy was on about, the project intrigued him: "I think weird is so much more interesting," he wrote.
The two collaborators are outside Steadman's large Georgian home, sitting on a bench in the 24 degree summer heat, amusing themselves with a never-ending string of absurd jokes. Levy is, at times, almost crying with laughter. Steadman, slightly more reserved, wears a blue amulet around his neck, bought from a Navaho Indian in Santa Fe: "14 dollars. Hunter gave me that. 'It will ward off evil spirits.'" He looks about 65.

Because he made his career in the United States, many people wrongly assume Steadman is American. Actually, he's from North Wales – the son of a shop assistant and a travelling salesman – and lives in the green heart of Kent, where we're eating a lunch of bread, salad, pate and cheese. The Steadman garden rolls out in front of us; before it, a glittering swimming pool.
"Have you met Anna?" says Steadman. "Anna cuts the grass." Anna, a teacher, now retired, is Steadman's wife – relaxed, like her husband, amused, enjoying the heat and a glass of wine. Also here is Sadie, the couple's daughter, and Ralph's manager. She's happy that her father has found another meaningful collaboration: "You get a bit introspective otherwise, don't you, dad?" Critical Critters will be the third in a series of magnificent, illustrated books about endangered animals: Levy does words; Ralph does illustrations.

Given the subject of our meeting – the complete destruction by mankind of planet earth – this should be a sombre occasion. In fact, it's the opposite of depressing. The two men bounce off each other in cheerful repartee. "Ralph, is that an erection you drew on the Orangutan?" asks Levy, and, later: "The baby Dratsab is one of our made up animals – Dratsab is bastard spelled backwards."
"You can say something wise in a funny way with art," says Steadman. "Wittgenstein said the only thing of value is the thing you can't say."
What's Levy's favourite animal? "All living things," he says, with great feeling. "When you look into an eye of a wild creature you can see a substance in there. You might even see a soul, I don't know."

Steadman went to grammar school on a scholarship, disliked it, made up for it by drawing the teachers, then worked in a Woolworths stockroom before, variously, going to technical college, being conscripted, studying aircraft engineering and having a light bulb moment when he saw an advertisement that said: "You Too Can Learn To Draw And Earn £££s." The Manchester Chronicle published his first cartoon, in 1956, but by the 1960s he was being sacked by the editor of The Times, William Rees Mogg – the amusing viciousness of his early work being thought "too seditious". The images he's most famous for are jaggedy, ink-splattered, savage indictments – he's a genius of comic grotesque – and the ones he made to go with Thompson's collected articles on Richard Nixon's 1972 presidential campaign were considered sensationally shocking and new.
"That's the problem," says Steadman, smiling mildly. "People expect you to be very angry. I say, if there's any anger, it goes down on paper. Get it out. Exorcise." He says he wanted to do real damage to Nixon with those drawings, and yet, "I prefer Nixon to someone like Trump, who is not really political; he's just a thug. Trumpelstistikin." What would he do if he couldn't make art? "Metal opera," he says, and starts to belt out a tune he's made up on the spot: " I want to sing in opera / I've got a lovely voice / I want to sing in opera / I haven't got a choice!"
The artful, splattered scrawl has evolved. Steadman's favourite animal appears in Critical Critters, a shy smile on its face. "What you're seeing here is my dirty water technique," he explains. "I had a dreadful accident that I think was quite interesting, when I spilled dirty water from my paint brushes. It took four days to dry…" Over Skype, he showed Levy the interesting watery blob of greys and aquatic blues. "I said, 'It looks like a sea creature,'" says Levy, "And you said, 'What kind of sea creature does it look like?' And I said, 'Well, it could be a hump-head wrasse.' And you went off that day and, out of that mess, that accident, the book was born. Picasso had his Blue Period, Ralph has his Dirty Water Period."
Steadman met Hunter S Thompson for the first time in 1970, in Kentucky, where they'd been put together by Scanlan's magazine to collaborate on an illustrated article about the derby (its publication introduced Gonzo journalism to the world for the first time). Thompson, a drugs and alcohol fiend, never managed to rouse in his friend a fellow love of narcotics. Steadman tried drugs only once – psilocybin – and he can't remember the experience. "I was a real loser, you know, which is why I think Hunter quite liked me."
When Thompson killed himself in his Colorado home in 2005 he was 67. Those who knew him well weren't surprised, Steadman included: back in 1972, Thompson had taken Steadman to Los Angeles to discuss details of his death with a funeral director. "He did say to me, 'I feel real trapped in this life, Ralph, I could commit suicide at any moment.' And he had 23 loaded guns in his house. He was always getting pulled up by the Sheriff for driving drunk, and when Hunter committed suicide, the Sheriff got on the phone to all the country Sheriffs. They went round there and all stood round his body, which was on the floor in the kitchen, and they all took one of his books and read one of the pages over his body. Which is quite a moving thing to do."
Steadman's studio is on the other side of the lawn – a fascinating and joyous four-roomed living museum. There are paintings, sketches, sculptures everywhere. His range is so broad, his great talent so blindingly obvious that I feel embarrassed for having associated him so closely with only Fear And Loathing.
As stunning as his newspaper and album work has always been, it looks almost trivial when compared with everything here, or his famous illustrations of works by Lewis Caroll, Freud, Da Vinci, Orwell, or the work he made with Ted Hughes. A formerly cream-coloured rotary telephone sits on his work table, splattered with coloured paint. Beneath it are more incredible artworks, scrumpled up because they haven't made the grade.
It's hard not to feel that if Steadman was weirder, hermetic, less astonishingly prolific and more pretentiously grandiose, he'd be recognised not just as a very good artist, but as one of the world's few very greats.
Right now he's busy singing along to a tune he's playing on an old tape cassette deck while Sadie shows me around a room at the back. Correspondence between Thompson and Steadman most often took place by fax: the sound of paper spooling out of a fax machine in the middle of the night is the sound of Sadie's childhood. They're all still here: "Hot Damn, Ralph," reads one, "It's you and me on the cover of Rolling Stone."
"He was vicious, but dad gave as good as he got," says Sadie. "Hunter came to stay with us once for two weeks, and by the end of it mum was on Valium and I hadn't taken my coat off for eight days."
But it's time for us to go. Outside, Sadie's children have arrived for a swim. How do we save the world? "Stop shooting things, that would be a good one," suggests Steadman. "Become Gonzovationist," says Levy, and the two men merrily wave us off from the drive, laughing as they begin another string of absurd and affectionate jokes of the kind that might one day go some small way towards saving the planet.
Critical Critters by Ralph Steadman and Ceri Levy is published by Bloomsbury, £35 on the 27th of July.

Critical Critters


Early last week (April 2), thousands of people in and around San Antonio, Texas reported seeing what one eyewitness described as a piece of the sun falling from the sky during full daylight.
Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, initially reported the sighting was a brilliant fireball from a meteor burning up as it entered the Earth's atmosphere. Later, he bowed to other expert's opinion that it was a jet contrail reflecting the glow of the setting sun - apparently based on erroneous footage (of an actual contrail) aired by a local TV station.
This reshaping of the past to fit the facts of the present is typical of a scientific mindset so hopelessly bound to the extremist uniformitarian worldview.
Uniformitarianism is the assumption that the same natural laws and processes that operate in the universe now, have always operated in the universe in the past and apply everywhere in the universe.
"Oceania was at war with Eurasia; therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia."
Here's a video of one captured from University of Wisconsin-Madison on the roof of the Atmospheric, Oceanic & Space Sciences Building on Wednesday around 8:20 p.m. central time.
This fireball streaked above the skies of the Windy City. WLS 890AM Chicago reported: "The meteor that blazed across the sky in the Chicago area Wednesday night was probably about the size of a basketball and moving about 36,000 mph."
Could be space wreckage burning up in the atmosphere. For at least the past ten years I have observed in the night time skies, activity that can only be described as a aerial battle, complete with bright flashes and points of light flying in formation.
We have all seen (most of us anyway) the flyover's of earth based spacecraft since the sixties. Those are the points of light that look like stars that move in a straight line across the sky overhead. If you look at that same area of sky for long enough, you can see the same craft making another orbit, this usually takes about 90 minutes.
But lately, we have been witnessing not only formation flying, but sharp turns at what can be only very high speeds at great altitudes above our heads. No navigation lights and no engine sounds.
One of the most remarkable sightings happened in the atmosphere and involved a U.S. Military aircraft. It was right at dusk on a late winter day and a small group of us where outside enjoying an unseasonably warm evening. We had a barbecue going and I was busily flipping steaks, engaged in conversation with some friends. In the background I heard what sounded like the approach of a military jet. I didn't pay much attention to it since we were accustomed to military aircraft flyovers on occasion in our rural neighborhood. As the sound of the jet approached, one of the younger guests became quite excited and said "wow, look at that"! I turned around and looked up in the general direction of the aircraft and noted that the jet was about 3,000 feet above the deck. About a quarter mile in front of the jet was an intense blue light, moving silently, at the same speed as the jet. When this strange sight was almost directly overhead, the UFO made a 160 degree turn and accelerated. It was over the horizon in about 2-3 seconds. The jet banked left in hot pursuit but his turning radius was at least a couple miles wide and it sounded as if his turbines were thrusting at their maximum. It took him a good half a minute or better to cover the same distance or at least until we could no longer hear his jet.
I have witnessed 2 day time fireballs in the last six years and many more than that at night, a couple even complete with sonic booms. So whatever these fire balls are, they are something much larger than your average meteor.
Historicaly it seems that times of cometery bombardment usualy go hand in hand with 'odd phenomena in the sky' - which may seem obviouse until you look through history and see 'ufo' type objects depicted along side comets in images hundreds of years old.
You may want to check out the Comets and Catastrophe series on the left (just below the Special Reports), for further reading on the subject. It's important to know what is headed our way!

Summer Faves: Tangerine, Birks, & Jimmy Choos!
Good day, LA! I've been meaning to share this number when I made it, but summer happened! It is my hand-painted silver/white holey jeans & hand-stitched/hand-painted sweater by Kelley Nicole Collection. The jeans were just plain white. So I recycled them into something more my style.
First I cut out holes in the knees, frayed them, and then hand painted the belt loops with silver paint.
Get Glowing Skin By Soaking Raw Almonds!
One of my favorite ways to boost my skin is by soaking raw almonds. Soaking raw almonds removes the tannins from the shell, which allows the nutrients to absorb better in your body. It takes only minutes to do and soaking them makes enough to last as a daily snack for a few days.
What you will need: a handful of raw almonds, filtered water, and a bowl with securable lid.
First, place a handful or two of raw almonds in a bowl.
Next add 1/2 cup filtered water to a handful of raw almonds. If using more than a handful simply adjust the amount of water, ensuring that all almonds are submersed.
First, place handful of almonds in bowl. Then add 1/2 cup of filtered water. If using more than a handful of almonds, simply adjust the amount of water, ensuring that all almonds are submersed in the water. Secure the lid to your bowl.
Then let the almonds sit for 8+ hours. Once they have soaked, it's time to peel them. Simply peel off the brown peel and then eat. I like to prepare mine at night so that they are ready to peel and eat when I wake up. I love adding them to my oatmeal!
Let the almonds soak for 8+ hours.
Post-Workout Sweet & Savory Avocado Toast!
Motivational Monday, continued! 🙂 I am a firm believer that your body needs carbs after a long cardio session. One of my favorite post-workout snacks is my Sweet & Savory Avocado Toast! It is a yummy and quick snack to power up after a run.
What you will need: an avocado (sliced), oregano leaves, lemon juice, basil oil (olive or avocado oil works great too), mixed greens (I like to use mixed greens with arugula to give it a spicy taste), sea salt, fresh ground pepper, 2 slices of honey wheat bread, & balsamic glaze (can be found at your local grocery store). First, I toast the bread (butter is optional), add the greens, avocado slices, spices, lemon juice & oil (all in this order, respectively).

What was the DEC Type 30 vector graphics display used for?
The DEC PDP-1 had, unusually for its time, a vector graphics display. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Digital_Equipment_Corporation
Most systems were purchased with two peripherals, the Type 30 vector graphics display, and a Soroban Engineering modified IBM Model B Electric typewriter that was used as a printer.
I am surprised that the vector graphics display was that popular. It was famously used for Space War, one of the contenders for the title of first video game, but of course it wouldn't have been purchased for that.
Just what was it used for?
history dec pdp-1 vector
Possibly answered here: retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/8493/… – another-dave Feb 23 '20 at 15:00
TECO could use the Type 30. Which makes it a very early display text editor. – Lars Brinkhoff Feb 24 '20 at 5:09
The answers to this question will show some the uses for the CRT on the PDP-1 and the PDP-6. – Walter Mitty May 12 '20 at 20:53
In that era you couldn't afford to build the raster displays that we have now. The RAM for the frame buffer would have been far too expensive. Vector displays were common, even though they had disadvantages - at engineering time you had to make a fixed-for-all-time choice between how long of a vector you could write vs. the persistence time of the phosphor. (Longer persistence time meant you could write a longer vector - but refresh rate was slower, until you could no longer refresh fast enough to allow the user to perceive continuous motion - I'm not even talking about smooth motion, but just the illusion that it was continuous rather than jumping about. Shorter persistence meant you were limited in how much you could write before the user started getting headaches from flicker.)
Terminals at the time only needed 2000 bytes of RAM - at most! - which would hold characters, that indexed into a ROM that had the pixel patterns for the characters. A 640x200 display - CGA - would have needed 16Kb RAM and would have been considered nearly useless compared to the vector terminals which had typically a positioning resolution of 1K or 2K in both X and Y.
So what did customer use vector display for? All the cool stuff you'd expect. CAD (for various engineering domains). Visualization of engineering or scientific simulations. Visualization of the status and performance of operating machinery or installations. Operator consoles for various machinery or installations.
And oddball stuff too ... it just depended if you had access to one or not. E.g., at Harvey Mudd College in 1976 I wrote an IDE for manipulating Mayan glyphs which was used by a professor to prepare diagrams for papers he was publishing on them. (It had a mode where you could draw new glyphs in a vector editor, and another mode where you could arrange the glyphs on a rectanglar grid - with subrectangles - according to the rules of Mayan ... grammar, I guess.) (At HMC you printed your resulting diagrams to this miserable electrostatic "line" printer - it printed high resolution dots just fine but on this stupid and expensive and smelly photosensitive paper so that your print job came out as dark grey on light grey - unless you left it on a windowsill where the sun could get at it which turned the whole thing black).
(Source: Me. In the 80's I worked for a company that designed and built vector-graphics dedicated CAD workstations - Vector Automation, in Baltimore, MD. I also used an IMLAC PDS-1 extensively while in college, which I covered in another answer.)
Alex Hajnal
In the 80's I recall doing a lot of graphing stuff on a large Tektronix vector display, also with the stupid electrostatic printer. One grabbed the print and ran to the closest Xerox machine and copied it on high contrast to get a reasonably stable plot... – Jon Custer Feb 24 '20 at 17:07
I had fun with Tektronix 4014 drawing maps in a computer/geography course. – manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact Feb 24 '20 at 22:18
I used 4014 family terminals as well. They were fun - and less expensive so more people had them - but not as fun as dynamic graphics. Plus that screen flash to erase the drawing ... as annoying as the flicker you'd get on a vector display. – davidbak Feb 25 '20 at 0:08
It may be worth mentioning that many vector graphic terminals used storage tubes where anything that was drawn would remain on the screen for minutes or maybe even hours unless an "erase" was performed, but erasing the display would cause a bright flash and erase everything at once. – supercat Feb 25 '20 at 19:48
@supercat - yes - let's make that explicit - the Tek terminals we're talking about in the comments above are storage tube devices, suitable for very nice graphics, but not animation, while the PDP-1 and Imlac displays were ordinary CRTs with precise digital-to-analog circuitry driving the beam from point to point (i.e., not on a raster like TV), and could do animated wire-frame graphics drawing a different image in a fraction of a second - and could also redraw any part of the image w/o needing a 1/2 second erase/refresh. – davidbak Feb 25 '20 at 21:15
The answer is in the name - to display graphics
It doesn't make much sense to produce a list of application, but lets look at the core issue of having a screen at all: There were no of-the-shelf graphic terminals - or (CRT-based) terminals - at all. A terminal was a card punch, a tape punch (and their counterparts) or a typing terminal like a FlexoWriter, IBM Model B or C, or any other TTY (*1).
Before vector displays, every output has to be done using either any of the above (hole or text based) devices or a plotter. At that time plotter weren't a comodity perhiperal, but devices with special custom interfaces, usually analogue. They were quite expensive, easy calling 40,000 USD and above. Using them was still a (comparable) slow process taking anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours. Getting to see a result within seconds on a screen was a game changer.
The fact that "most" (*2) were delivered with a Type 30 is simply due the the display being the most singular USP for the PDP-1.
At that time (1959), competition was the IBM 740/780 setup which cost 40,000 USD/year in rent. Just for the Display. A computer had to be rented as well. And even 5 years later, in 1964 the IBM 2250 Graphics Display Unit Started at 280,000 USD (sales price) for a basic configuration (*3).
A 120+ grand PDP-1 with display was already a bargain if only used as terminal to some existing comuter. And with the computer thrown in "for free", it enabled small (*4) departments getting both a once.
*1 - See this answer for a partial overview of terminal development.
*2 - At that point it might be important to keep in mind the the phrase "Most systems" sounds bigger than it is, as in total less then 60 PDP-1 were ever build.
*3 - Though, being expandable to 4 displays, this may put a per workstation price at or even below 100,000 USD :)
*4 - Well, relative compared to the ones that could afford an IBM 704 with 740/780. It'll be still an investment worth more than a million USD of today's money.
The Type 30 brochure shows some of its applications. Apart from the light pen input, its seems it had some way of being used as an input device, digitizing from film input – scruss Feb 23 '20 at 16:09
@scruss Interesting. I've seen such an application once for scanning images. Not with a setup like the Type 30, but a dedicated, closed unit. – Raffzahn Feb 23 '20 at 16:14
The PDP-1 was priced to be sold to a lab and was relatively easy to interface to. This means that it could be used for processing and displaying data from a variety of equipment such as mass spectrometers and so on. It was also used by ITEK for one of the very early CAD systems in 1964, the Electronic Drafting Machine (PDF warning).
It could also be used as an adjunct to a larger mainframe computer, a bit like a very expensive graphics terminal which manipulated data that would be produced and/or processed elsewhere. You didn't want to spend time interacting with a computer that you were charged by the minute for. Its price allowed someone to use it directly and it was owned outright rather than leased as many mainframes were in those days.
An early preview of the system in Datamation noted that one proposed application was weapon simulation, perhaps predicting Spacewar?

The PDP-1 was designed as an unofficial successor to the MIT Lincoln Labs TX-0, which also had a similar display. On the TX-0 this had been used for interactive debugging as well as graphical display of the results of experiments (eg an early machine learning experiment that simulated the way a mouse learns to navigate a maze); it is likely that these applications inspired DEC to include a similar display in their machine, and indeed a PDP-1 debugger inspired by the TX-0's system was developed.

Georgia democracy: A hit show that's getting harder to produce
Tom Baxter December 5, 2022 5:33 pm
By Tom Baxter
While we wait for the results to come in, let's cheer the long-suffering poll workers who made this election possible and pat ourselves on the back one more time for standing in line to vote.
Then let's get real about it.
This runoff election has been trumpeted as a great success because of the heavy turnout, demonstrating again that the 2021 election law didn't suppress full participation in the democratic process. There are several levels of hogwash in that claim.
Those daily voting records that have been broadcast were records set in an election in which there were fewer early voting days. Overall, turnout in the shortened early voting period was down 644,689 votes from the early voting period in 2020. People stood in longer lines, not only because there were fewer days, but because the new law has caused the virtual collapse of mail-in voting, which has declined by 81 percent since the 2020 election.
Proponents of the 2021 law may argue that it didn't change the outcome of any races, and from what I can see they're right. That's just as good a reason for sunsetting the law, which has put additional strains on an already stretched electoral system.
Georgia and its counties have been running elections on the cheap for a long time, and especially where there is rapid population growth, it's beginning to show. There's a lot of improvisation. In Fulton County, the early voting locations for the November election weren't all the same as those for the December runoff. In the two early voting locations I saw, there seemed to be a significant difference in the way voters were moved along the process. These are minor things, but added up across the state, they show a growing lack of uniformity in the system.
Speaking of uniformity, why is it that you can vote at any early voting site in your county, but only at one site on Election Day? That's because early voting was grafted onto the older, single-day voting system as a means of siphoning off a few votes. There has never been a serious discussion about what it would take to create a system in which every voter has the same experience, early or on time.
We're not even going to touch on the problem of recruiting people to conduct elections in places where they could be subject to harassment or intimidation. There have been repeated warnings that our voting system is facing a breakdown at the ballot box level. This runoff election, in which so many have stood in line for so long to cast a vote in only one race, should not comfort us.
After two consecutive cycles with costly statewide runoffs, we're hearing calls for the state to adopt an instant runoff system, which uses some kind of ranked-choice formula to determine a winner without another vote. That's worth considering, but there's more we may have to consider.
Political organizations have become like the sports franchises that make fortunes from games played in facilities they sucker local governments into paying for. Total spending from the two candidates and a mob of outside groups which bought air time in the runoff is going to be north of $380 million. WSB-TV, a prominent recipient of that spending, is the most profitable television station in the country.
There would, of course, be a First Amendment battle if you tried to tax any of that money. The legislature even included a provision in the 2021 law specifically preventing outside organizations like the Gates Foundation from helping pay the expenses of elections in Georgia. But it seems foolish to put on a show for the country and not get a cut of the gate.

And of course Hanks was involved with the failure of Drew Noyse to extort a large sum from a clinic owner resulting in Noyse receiving a 2 year prison sentence. How Hanks got away with that is a mystery……..swings both ways Brian.
Let me get this straight…..Goldie is calling certain elements of the Thai police corrupt.
In that case I look forward with anticipation to a court case from the Thai authorities against Goldie for criminal libel.
"Goudie is reported to have borrowed a considerable amount of money off Hanks. I am not sure how sad he will be if Hanks is sent down."
On past performance, the wee scrote is very likely to provide information to ensure that his creditor is sent down.

Men, women, kids and teens consume videos online at an ever increasing rate and thankfully, marketers are thirsty for even more opportunities to get in front of the resulting eyeballs via video advertising.
If you are publisher that is still early in the stages of launching your video publishing efforts, chances are you're evaluating which online video platform (OVP) is the best fit for your needs. The right OVP will enable you to maximize the visitors and marketing dollars that come with having a video-enabled website.
While choosing an OVP should be simple, the reality is that the process requires a good amount of business planning and research to ensure that you are choosing the right solution for your needs.
Why waste your time developing an online video strategy if you aren't going to make any money with it? The use of YouTube embeds should be part of any publisher's video strategy — free and timely content via a reliable delivery medium.
However, to make money you will need to leverage an OVP that allows you to monetize your video inventory directly, or by leveraging their third-party sales relationships. Brightcove, Wistia, Kaltura, SpringBoard and Ooyala are among the OVPs that allow you to traffic ads and earn revenue from the videos that are watched on your website.
Other than perhaps the cost of content, the main source of costs as they relate to video publishing is the cost of hosting and bandwidth. For a publisher looking to get into online video, the last thing you want to worry about is absorbing these costs before you've even made a nickel from your efforts.
While the Brightcoves of the world are great platforms, they cost money to use (licensing costs, bandwidth, etc.), which may not be something a new video publisher is willing to commit to from the start. However OVPs like SpringBoard and LongTail eliminate (or dramatically reduce) cost from the equation.
Unless you are a publisher who already has libraries of video you would like to show your audience, chances are you are in need of a video content source.
It's cheap and easy to get a camera and start vlogging for your audience. But beyond that, there are a few OVP options that offer content that can be licensed directly from their platform. Real Gravity and 5Min are examples of video player solutions that offer a library of content (some premium, some not) that you can choose from to display on your site.
And if making money on your video is not important to you, YouTube, DailyMotion and many other video portals can be a solution — just grab their video embed and go!

Q: ¿Cómo podría hacer funcionar la barra de búsqueda? Dejo aquí el enlace a mi repositorio en Git Hub para que podáis ver el proyecto completo:
[https://github.com/Ananekos/APP-Mensajer-a-GeeksHub][1]
Necesitaría que la aplicación hiciera lo siguiente y me quedan los últimos 2 pasos:
1- Escribir textos en el chat (se hace "intro" con el botón + que aparece en la izquierda de la barra que contiene el input) HECHO!
2- Una vez escritos unos cuantos mensajes (no importa el texto), necesito poder hacer búsquedas con la barra de búsquedas que aparece en el lado superior derecho.FALTA! (Los mensajes ya se guardan en un array de objetos).
3- El texto encontrado ha de verse en el área de mensajes, o bien resaltado con algún color, o bien aislado del resto de textos. FALTA!
Veréis que al final de mi archivo .js he estado haciendo intentos, pero ahora mismo da error. (si borráis la ultima función que hace referencia a la búsqueda, deja de dar error).

Bac Giang (VNA) – A meeting was held in the northern province of Bac Giang on September 27 as part of activities to respond to the World Rabies Day (September 28).
Addressing the event, Vice Director of the Department of Animal Health under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development Dam Xuan Thanh said that only 2.9 million out of 7.7 million pet dogs, or 38.5 percent, received vaccines against rabies.
Fatalities caused by the disease are still on the rise. In 2016, 91 deaths of rabies were reported nationwide, up 17 percent over 2015 and 38 percent over 2014. In the first nine months of this year, 57 deaths were recorded, mostly in the northern region, noted Thanh.
He pledged that in the coming time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Heath will continue to effectively implement measures stated in the National Programme against rabies for the 2017-2021 period, while raising public awareness of disease prevention.
Representatives of the World Health Organisation and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation committed to supporting Vietnam in realising the National Programme against rabies.
World Rabies Day is the first and only global day of action and awareness for rabies prevention. It is an opportunity to unite as a community and for individuals, NGOs and governments to connect and share their work. This year, the event is themed "Rabies: Zero by 30", which shows the target of zero human death from canine rabies by 2030.
Following the meeting, hundreds of people joined a parade in Bac Giang city in response to the Day and the province's animal health agency vaccinated local pet dogs.-VNA

Kaple svatého Jana Nepomuckého je drobná barokní stavba v malé vesnici Ležnice, základní sídelní jednotce města Horní Slavkov, v okrese Sokolov, v Karlovarském kraji. Nachází se v mírně svažitém terénu na návsi uprostřed vesnice.

Od roku 2003 je kaple chráněna jako kulturní památka.

Historie
Kapli nechal postavit roku 1743 místní rolník Georg Trum. V druhé polovině 19. století došlo při stavebních úpravách v novorománském stylu k výrazné proměně její podoby. Přibyly zejména dekorativní prvky a svůj výraz zcela změnila barokní vížka.

Po druhé světové válce došlo k vysídlení německého obyvatelstva a u Ležnice od roku 1946 probíhal geologický průzkum pro budoucí těžbu uranu. Následně byla v Ležnici byla vyhloubena uranová jáma a v roce 1950 vybudován uranový pracovní tábor Ležnice. Od 50. let 20. století kaple chátrala a udržovali ji především původní Němci.

Pravidelně v květnu se konala bohoslužba na uctění svatého Jana Nepomuckého. Po ní následovala v místních hostincích lidová veselice spojená s hudbou a tancem. Na tuto tradici navázaly po roce 2000 Ležnické dožínky, které zahajuje dopolední mše u kaple.

K opravám kaple došlo v roce 1996. K další opravě došlo v roce 2001 nákladem přibližně 300 tis. Kč z daru manželů Žemličkových a v roce 2002 provedlo město Horní Slavkov odvedení povrchových vod a dlažbu ke kapli.

Stavební podoba
Architektonicky jednoduchá kaple byla postavena na osmiúhelníkovém, respektive obdélném půdorysu s okosenými rohy s bosáží na nárožích. Kaple má břidlicí krytou klasickou barokní sanktusovou vížku s křížkem na vrcholu. Vstupní průčelí je završeno trojúhelným štítem, kde je v kruhovém vlysu uveden letopočet 1743. V bočních stěnách jsou půlkruhově zakončená okna lemovaná paspartami se štukovými profily.

V kapli stávalo pět barokních soch z konce 18. století. Oltářní antependium zdobila diletantská malba z počátku 19. století. Zobrazovala v baroku časté ikonografické ztvárnění smrti svatého Jana Nepomuckého, shozeného do vod Vltavy.

No matter where you are in your life and financial situation, it is a good idea to build up credit. This means paying your bills on time and spending wisely. Don't apply for multiple credit cards or buy a car you cannot afford. This will only hurt your credit. Instead, keep current with your payments and establish a great credit.
Figure out how much you will need for a down payment for a home. It may be as little as $5-7K. It may be more. However, no matter the amount, start saving now. Don't count on getting a better job or waiting for the economy to get better. Instead, look for ways to cut your current expenses and save the most money. Could you live in a smaller rental for a year, if that meant saving a lot of money? Could you go without TV for a year if that meant you would be a year closer to your dream home? Make temporary sacrifices to meet your financial and home-buying goals faster.
Even before you have all of the appropriate funds, find and talk with a real estate agent you can trust. Figure out what you need to do to qualify for a home. See what types of homes you qualify for. And start looking for homes with their help. A good real estate agent is an important key to getting the home of your dreams.
Buying a home or real estate is a big life decision, but it will ultimately save you money in the long run, in comparison to renting or leasing.
