Q: Is is possible to choose internal IP for kubernetes host network pod My kubernetes node has two internal IPs
status:
  addresses:
  - address: 10.10.96.70
    type: ExternalIP
  - address: 10.10.97.77
    type: InternalIP
  - address: 10.10.96.70
    type: InternalIP

When I deploy a hostnetwork pod, the first internal IP (10.10.97.77) is always used. Is it possible to use the second internal IP instead?

A: You can override on your kubelet with the --node-ip string option.
--node-ip string
IP address of the node. If set, kubelet will use this IP address for the node

Lawmakers impose stricter penalties for prosecutors in response to snitch scandal
Superior Court Judge Thomas Goethals scolds the Orange County Sheriff's Department after testimony by jail deputies reveals they were told to keep secret a digital system for tracking jailhouse inmates and informants. Goethals had removed the Orange County District Attorney's Office from the case of Scott Dekraai.

Flanked by his staff members Susan Kang Schroeder, chief of staff, left, Deputy District Attorney Scott Simmons and Assistant District Attorney Dan Wagner, Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas answers questions for the media Friday after the state Attorney General's Office said Friday it would appeal a judge's decision removing his office from the case of Scott Dekraai in Santa Ana.
By Tony Saavedra | tsaavedra@scng.com | Orange County Register
PUBLISHED: January 14, 2016 at 11:41 am | UPDATED: October 25, 2017 at 10:37 am
Prosecutors who intentionally withhold evidence from defense attorneys or the court could face tougher punishment and greater scrutiny under a new state law prompted by the misuse of jailhouse informants by Orange County prosecutors.
The legislation, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, strengthens the ability of judges to remove individual prosecutors and, if warranted, their offices, from cases if prosecutors are found willfully withholding evidence.
The new law also requires judges to report offending prosecutors to the state bar, which licenses attorneys.
The bill was not widely supported by Orange County legislators, though District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said Tuesday he supported it.
The legislation was sponsored by Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D-San Diego, a professor at San Diego State University whose late husband was a judge.
She said the legislation is important because it forces judges to hold prosecutors accountable.
"I've always had as a priority this whole issue of social justice," Weber said. "When it doesn't work, it has the tendency to do a lot of harm."
Weber also said inspiration from the law tracked to events in Orange County.
In March, a Superior Count judge barred the District Attorney's Office – all 250 lawyers – from the highest-profile mass murder case in county history.
Judge Thomas Goethals made the rare move of kicking the Orange County District Attorney's Office off the case, saying prosecutors couldn't ensure a fair trial in the penalty phase of the trial of confessed mass murderer Scott Dekraai.
Goethals sited misleading or false testimony from sheriff's deputies about jailhouse informants and the unintentional failure of prosecutors to turn over evidence.
The Dekraai case was handed to the state Attorney General's Office, which is appealing on the grounds that the judge overstepped.
An Orange County public defender, representing Dekraai and double-murder defendant Daniel Wozniak, has accused police and prosecutors of illegally using jailhouse informants over the past 30 years to coax confessions from defendants and withholding evidence about those informants.
Rackauckas has admitted in past interviews that his prosecutors made some mistakes in handing over evidence and using informants, but none intentionally.
Prosecutors have labeled the accusations as unfounded and reckless.
Rackauckas said Tuesday he supports the new, stricter sanctions and thinks they should even be stronger for prosecutors who willfully withhold evidence from defense teams.
"I think it's a good law. And any prosecutor who acts in the manner proscribed by the law, intentionally, that's reprehensible conduct," Rackauckas said.
"There has not been any intentional bad faith withholding of evidence in the D.A.'s office. If that were to happen and I found out about it, that person would be terminated."
The California District Attorneys Association opposed the bill partly out of concern that prosecutors who mistakenly failed to turn over evidence would be punished along with the prosecutors who do so by intent.
"Let's make sure the conduct that is proscribed is actually misconduct," said Sean Hoffman, director of legislation for the prosecutors' association.
"We look at prosecutorial error and prosecutorial misconduct as two different things."
The bill was sponsored by California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, a 2,000-member group dedicated to preserving defendants' rights.
"The public deserves to have confidence that prosecutors are committed to playing by the rules instead of trying to win at all costs," said Jeff Thoma, association president.
"I applaud the passage of AB1328 and it being signed into law. I believe this has the positive effect of insuring greater due process by reducing (discovery) violations and holding those accountable that do so in bad faith."
Among Orange County representatives in Sacramento, only Assemblyman Tom Daly, D-Anaheim, and Sens. John Moorlach, R-Irvine, and Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia, voted in favor of the law.
Assembly members Young Kim, R-Fullerton, Don Wagner, R-Tustin, Travis Allen, R-Huntington Beach, Bill Brough, R-Dana Point, Ling Ling Chang, R-Chino Hills, and Matt Harper, R-Costa Mesa, voted against the law.
Sens. Janet Nguyen, R-Santa Ana and Pat Bates, R-San Juan Capistrano, also voted against it.
Sen. Bob Huff, R-Brea, did not cast a vote.

Subject: Uses aaaaaa Thu Oct 14, 2010 4:08 am
Due to the operating characteristics of the helicopter—its ability to takeoff and land vertically, and to hover for extended periods of time, as well as the aircraft's handling properties under low airspeed conditions—it has been chosen to conduct tasks that were previously not possible with other aircraft, or were time- or work-intensive to accomplish on the ground. Today, helicopter uses include transportation, construction, firefighting, search and rescue, and military uses.
Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane lifting a prefab house
Kern County (California) Fire Department Bell 205 dropping water on fire
A British Westland WAH-64 Apache attack helicopter
HH-65 Dolphin demonstrating hoist rescue capability
A Sikorsky S-76C+ air ambulance being loaded by firefighters
RAF Westland Sea King for rescue of people in distress around the United Kingdom
A helicopter used to carry loads connected to long cables or slings is called an aerial crane. Aerial cranes are used to place heavy equipment, like radio transmission towers and large air conditioning units, on the tops of tall buildings, or when an item must be raised up in a remote area, such as a radio tower raised on the top of a hill or mountain. Helicopters are used as aerial cranes in the logging industry to lift trees out of terrain where vehicles cannot travel and where environmental concerns prohibit the building of roads.[27] These operations are referred to as longline because of the long, single sling line used to carry the load.[28]
Helitack is the use of helicopters to combat wildland fires.[29] The helicopters are used for aerial firefighting (or water bombing) and may be fitted with tanks or carry helibuckets. Helibuckets, such as the Bambi bucket, are usually filled by submerging the bucket into lakes, rivers, reservoirs, or portable tanks. Tanks fitted onto helicopters are filled from a hose while the helicopter is on the ground or water is siphoned from lakes or reservoirs through a hanging snorkel as the helicopter hovers over the water source. Helitack helicopters are also used to deliver firefighters, who rappel down to inaccessible areas, and to resupply firefighters. Common firefighting helicopters include variants of the Bell 205 and the Erickson S-64 Aircrane helitanker.
Helicopters are used as air ambulances for emergency medical assistance in situations when an ambulance cannot easily or quickly reach the scene. Helicopters are also used when a patient needs to be transported between medical facilities and air transportation is the most practical method for the safety of the patient. Air ambulance helicopters are equipped to provide medical treatment to a patient while in flight. The use of helicopters as an air ambulance is often referred to as MEDEVAC, and patients are referred to as being "airlifted", or "medevaced".
Police departments and other law enforcement agencies use helicopters to pursue suspects. Since helicopters can achieve a unique aerial view, they are often used in conjunction with police on the ground to report on suspects' locations and movements. They are often mounted with lighting and heat-sensing equipment for night pursuits.

Ruby Rose QUITS The CW's BATWOMAN
May 19, 2020 by jaywashington, posted in Uncategorized
This is a major and unexpected story, Ruby Rose the STAR of the CW superhero drama BATWOMAN is exiting the show. The series, which already has been renewed for a second season. It is expected to continue with the title role getting recast.
In a statement made by Rose she statement "I have made the very difficult decision to not return to BATWOMAN next season" she goes on to say "This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles."
Rose made headlines for the casting as she took on the role to become the first openly LGBT superhero character to star in her own show. It is also worth noting that Rose did unfortunately suffer a major injury on the set during a stunt while filming Season 1, which left her facing paralysis and needing emergency surgery.
Further in Rose's statement she states, "I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created," she said. "Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful."
As mentioned earlier a second season has already been greenlit for the show and the titular character role is set to be recast but Batwoman was also recently announced to be in an upcoming crossover with Superman in 2021.

Q: How to bind IDictionary property with Ninject? I have a class:
public class MyClass
{
    [Inject]
    public IDictionary<string, IMyInterface> MyDictionary { get; set; }
}

I have several implementations of the IMyInterface interface that have their own dependencies injected. Each implementation should have a different key.
How do I bind such a property using Ninject?

A: I assume this is a fixed list. The easiest way would be with a provider:
    public class MyProvider :  IProvider
    {
        public object Create(IContext context)
        {
            return new Dictionary<string, IMyInterface>{
               {"alpha", context.Kernel.Get<ImpClassOne>()},
               {"beta", context.Kernel.Get<ImplClassTwo>()}
            }
        }

        public Type Type
        {
            get { return typeof(IDictionary<string, IMyInterface>); }
        }
    }

You can register the provider to your kernel like:
   kernel.Bind<IDictionary<string, IMyInterface>>().ToProvider<MyProvider>();

and then the [Inject] for the property will  use the provider to create the dictionary.

A: In case the key can somehow be retrieved/generated/calculated from IMyInterface e.g. from a Name property then there is an easy solution.
public class DictionaryProvider : Provider<IDictionary<string, IMyInterface>>
{
    private IEmumerable<IMyInterface> instances;
    public DictionaryProvider(IEmumerable<IMyInterface> instances>)
    {
        this.instances = instances;
    }

    protected override IDictionary<string, IMyInterface> CreateInstance(IContext context)
    {
        return this.instances.ToDictionary(i => i.Name);
    }
}

Otherwise ryber's solution is probably the easiest way to go.

PHOTOS: Israeli police arrest 12 left-wing activists at Hebron demo
By Activestills February 20, 2016 | Edit
Two independent journalists were among the Israeli demonstrators arrested in Hebron, during a protest to mark 22 years since the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre.

Police arrested 12 Israeli activists on Saturday afternoon during a protest in Hebron marking 22 years since the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre.
According to the police, the arrests took place after the Israelis entered H1, the area of Hebron under the control of the Palestinian Authority, where Israelis cannot legally enter. Among those arrested were two independent Israeli journalists, working for Israel Social TV and the Alternative Information Center, respectively. Four of the activists were held at a local police station for several hours, but all of them were eventually released.

One Palestinian journalist was wounded by a stun grenade, and received medical attention at the scene.
The demonstration was organized by the left-wing, Hebron-based Hebron Defense Committee, to commemorate 22 years since Baruch Goldstein massacred dozens of Muslim worshippers at the Ibrahimi Mosque, as well as to call to free Palestinian journalist Muhammad Al-Qiq, who has been on hunger strike to protest his administrative detention for 89 days. Members of Tarabut – Hithabrut, a left-wing movement based in Israel, also participated.

The activists marched nonviolently toward one of the checkpoints on Shuhada Street — one of the main avenues that has been closed off to Palestinian movement since the Second Intifada — while hanging Palestinian flags on fences and calling to "open the Hebron ghetto."

Hisham Sharbati, a member of the Hebron Defense Committee, told +972 that "22 years after the massacre at the Ibrahimi Tomb, the situation in Hebron has become much more difficult. The army places restrictions on Palestinian movement, while Israelis can move freely and enjoy all their rights."

"The political situation can be solved," he adds, "only if the army and all the settlers, until the very last one, leave the city."
Among the Israelis arrested were Professor Gadi Algazi, one of the leaders of Tarabut – Hithabrut, who spoke to the soldiers at the beginning of the protest, telling them that the Israeli activists came to "stand alongside the residents of Hebron, against the occupation, and against turning Hebron into a ghetto." Moments after finishing his remarks, the security forces began shooting tear gas and stun grenades at the demonstrators, while making arrests.

Following the massacre at the Ibrahim Mosque in 1994, the Israeli army began enforcing a regime of separation in central Hebron. Central roads, such as Shuhada Street, were closed off to Palestinian vehicles, and 1,800 Palestinian stores were forcibly shut down. Over a thousand families have left the area. Today only 250 Palestinian families live on Shuhada Street, which remains off limits to civilian and commercial vehicles.

FESTIVAL BOOK
Jonny Appleseed
 A tour-de-force debut novel about a Two-Spirit Indigiqueer young man and proud NDN glitter princess who must reckon with his past when he returns home to his reserve.
"You're gonna need a rock and a whole lotta medicine" is a mantra that Jonny Appleseed, a young Two-Spirit/Indigiqueer, repeats to himself in this vivid and utterly compelling debut novel by poet Joshua Whitehead.
Off the reserve and trying to find ways to live and love in the big city, Jonny becomes a cybersex worker who fetishizes himself in order to make a living. Self-ordained as an NDN glitter princess, Jonny has one week before he must return to the "rez"–and his former life–to attend the funeral of his stepfather. The seven days that follow are like a fevered dream: stories of love, trauma, sex, kinship, ambition, and the heartbreaking recollection of his beloved kokum (grandmother). Jonny's life is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages–and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life.
Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of First Nations life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams.

Making Love with the Land
In the last few years, following the publication of his debut novel Jonny Appleseed, Joshua Whitehead has emerged as one of the most exciting and important new voices on Turtle Island. Now, in this first non-fiction work, Whitehead brilliantly explores Indigeneity, queerness, and the relationships between body, language and land through a variety of genres (essay, memoir, notes, confession). Making Love with the Land is a startling, heartwrenching look at what it means to live as a queer Indigenous person "in the rupture" between identities. In sharp, surprising, unique pieces – a number of which have already won awards – Whitehead illuminates this particular moment, in which both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples are navigating new (and old) ideas about "the land." He asks: What is our relationship and responsibility towards it? And how has the land shaped our ideas, our histories, our very bodies?
Here is an intellectually thrilling, emotionally captivating love song — a powerful revelation about the library of stories land and body hold together, waiting to be unearthed and summoned into word.

Meaning of Skittle
Meaning of hiney, heine, heiney
hiney, heine, heiney means: Buttocks. An unusual word heard on U.S. sitcoms but with an obscure derivation. One guess was of a corruption of the German word "Hind" (similarly with the word "hinterland). Use of the word can be controversial. Parents use it, e.g. to tell a child "You'll get a smack on your hiney!! Also used in a friendly way to refer to a man's butt, When it's used to refer to a woman's (especially attractive, etc.) behind, then it has a very definite sexually suggestive connotation to it ("woman-child"), and the word used in that context appears to be fairly unacceptable. (ed: I asked for any counter arguments). Caroline writes: I think it is a shortening of "hind end", but it's used a lot in Southern USA. Here is a schoolyard rhyme: I see your hiney so black and shiny, You better hide it before I bite it!" The following fairly comprehensive description of the word in use was sent in by John Gaither from Athens Georgia US: It is (or was, when I was in the single-digit years, before 1965) common in south Georgia, in the southeastern US. Among me and my friends (European Americans) the rhyme was: "I see your hiney So black and shiny It makes me giggle To see it wiggle." My wife (African American) recalls it thus: "I see your hiney So bright and shiny. . . ." The occasion for its recitation was when someone's "hind" end was partly or fully exposed, either by circumstance or design. It was slightly pejorative, as if the singer was laughing at or mocking the person exposed; using the word "black" fits in with this, as calling someone black was also a derogatory statement (for Americans of either European or African ancestry). I conjecture an African American origin, or association with African Americans, from the word "black." (As you may or may not know, skin pigmentation among African Americans is in fact usually darker on the buttocks and the back of the thighs; cf. "kiss my black ass."). It was always sung to the same tune, which makes me wonder if the rhyme originated in some kind of vaudeville or minstrel show, where American performers of European ancestry sometimes wore blackface and used the exaggerated mannerisms and accents of African Americans to comic effect. The rhythm and tune are as follows, as best as I can render it. three eighth-notes, quarter note, dotted quarter note three eighth-notes, quarter note, dotted quarter note (repeat) C-C-C-C-A C-C-C-C-G C-C-C-C-A C-C-C-C-G
Meaning of Nigger
Nigger means: Most likely originates with the Latin word "niger" which translates to "black". Similar words for "black" exist in other languages (Spanish, for example, is "negro").

South Carolina: We can discriminate against women, so why not gays?
There's no shortage of chutzpah in the Palmetto State.
One key problem with originalism—the theory that the Constitution should be interpreted as its drafters understood it—is that the men who wrote our constitution had some pretty barbaric views about humanity. The author of the Bill of Rights, James Madison, owned hundreds of slaves. The same Congress that passed the 14th Amendment segregated schools and opposed women's suffrage. Under originalist theory, almost every landmark equality case, including Brown v. Board of Education, is almost certainly wrong. Few originalists, however, have the courage to admit that their theory would lead to an appallingly unequal and unjust America.
South Carolina, it turns out, is the glittering exception to this cowardice. In a jaw-dropping amicus brief recently filed with the Supreme Court, the state's attorney general argues for a truly originalist understanding of the 14th Amendment, insisting that the Constitution permits discrimination not just against gays, but also against women. This argument is as morally abhorrent as it is historically accurate. And South Carolina deserves some credit for having the chutzpah to raise it.
Here's the gist of South Carolina's fascinatingly sexist argument. The state wants to prove that the 14th Amendment—which guarantees "equal protection of the laws" to every "person"—was not intended to displace state marriage laws. And what did those laws look like at the time? One major feature: In many states, married women were not permitted to own property or enter into contracts and had no legal existence apart from their husbands. According to South Carolina, the framers of the 14th Amendment explicitly preserved the rights of states to deprive married women of the ability to function independently from her husband. This right to deprive married women of basic liberties, South Carolina argues, is enshrined in the 10th Amendment and is not at all undercut by the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equality.
The crux of South Carolina's brief, then, is this: If the 14th Amendment permits discrimination against married women, it surely also allows discrimination against gay people who wish to wed. In fact, according to South Carolina, the 14th Amendment forbids only racial discrimination, leaving states free to disadvantage women and gays in any way they wish.
Of course, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that laws disadvantaging women receive heightened scrutiny under the equal protection clause—and even the current court's most conservative justices would likely strike down laws that deprived married women of property rights. As South Carolina's brief demonstrates, the question in the gay marriage cases is not whether the court wants to adopt an originalist understanding of the 14th Amendment, but how honest it wants to be about rejecting one. The justices could restore the provision's original meaning and usher in a new era of state-sponsored sexism. They could continue to be selectively faithful to the bigoted views of dead white men and laugh off gay rights. Or they could choose to honor the broader constitutional principle embedded in the 14th Amendment: the radical, sweeping, revolutionary idea that all Americans are born equal.
Update, April 9, 2015: The South Carolina solicitor general, as well as a representative from the office of the attorney general, have asked us to note that their state does not wish to implement the sexist laws outlined in its brief—though it could if it wanted to.

Monica May 19, 2017
Ice Cube has confirmed that he is currently working on a long-awaited new sequel for popular movie franchise 'Friday'.
The original 'Friday', which was released back in 1995, has slowly gained cult status among Hip-Hop fans and was followed up by 'Next Friday' in 2000 and 'Friday After Next' in 2002.
However during an appearance on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Ice Cube announced that an eagerly-anticipated fourth sequel was on the way.
"We're working on one right now," Cube confirmed. "We're gonna call it 'Last Friday'."
Rumours about a new 'Friday' movie have been circulating for years, however fans now have definite confirmation.
Last month, actor John Witherspoon also provided an update on the movie, claiming that Ice Cube told him that Warner Bros had approved another sequel.

Harald III. Dánský (Harald Hen; asi 1041 – 17. dubna 1080) byl králem Dánska v letech 1076 až 1080. Byl prvním ze synů Svena II., který usedl na dánský trůn, následovali ho čtyři jeho nevlastní bratři. Harald byl mírumilovný panovník, který zavedl mnoho reforem. Jeho manželkou byl Markéta Hasbjörnsdatter, zřejmě jeho sestřenice, se kterou však neměl potomky. Jeho nástupcem se stal jeho bratr Knut IV.

Život
Harald se narodil okolo roku 1040 jako syn krále Svena II. a neznámé konkubíny. Zúčastnil se Svenova nájezdu do Anglie v roce 1069 společně se svým strýcem Asbjørnem a bratrem Knutem. Po smrti svého otce v roce 1074 byl zvolen králem. Odříkal přísahy zvané Haraldovy zákony, v nichž vyjadřoval, že bude hájit existující vládu práva. Během své vlády se Harald potýkal s opozicí ze strany mnoha svých bratrů, zřejmě i Knuta (IV.), který si získal podporu Olafa III. Papež Řehoř VII. zasáhl a doporučil Olafovi, aby se nepřidával ani na jednu stranu, a Haraldovi, aby se o moc podělil s bratry.

Harald za svůj královský titul vděčil mocným dánským šlechticům a dělal jen málo, aby se jim postavil. Nebojoval tedy v žádných velkých válkách a věnoval energii zlepšování toho, co zlepšit mohl. Asi nejznámější je tím, že vylepšil a standardizoval ražbu mincí v Dánsku a založil mincovny v Ribe, Viborgu, Lundu a Schleswigu. Institucionalizoval veřejné využívání královských lesů.

Harald také měnil dánské právní obyčeje. Odsoudil starý zvyk zkoušky bojem a boží soud jernbyrd - držení rozpáleného železa. Místo toho zavedl anglický obyčej, kdy se čestní muži přimlouvali za jednotlivé strany v procesu. Zřejmě pokračoval v politice Svena II. a zkoušel - neúspěšně - zřídit dánské arcibiskupství. Zemřel 17. dubna 1080 a králem se po něm stal jeho bratr Knut.

Prior art intraocular lenses provide a partial solution to these problems. Such lenses in the past have comprised fixed focus devices made of rigid plastic or soft, foldable materials. They are implanted via the corneal or scleral incision through which the cataract was removed, by folding the IOL (in the case of foldable designs) and inserting it into the eye behind the pupil. The IOL may then unfold and is maneuvered into place through the incision. Typically, the fixed focus IOL comprises a central optic fitted with hook-shaped haptics which attach the IOL to the walls of the posterior chamber of the eye. (Placement of the IOL within the anterior chamber is also possible in some instances). The simplest optic surface is a spherical section. IOL's also may be made having optics with asymmetrical curvature designed to correct for astigmatism. This is accomplished by creating an optic in which the curvature is different along axes at 90° apart.
Generally speaking, therefore, prior art approaches to achieving post-operative adjustment of the focusing capability of an IOL, therefore, have required movement of fluid into, out of or within an IOL assembly; micromotor-actuated adjustment of the position of optics operatively mounted within rigid hoops or rings; refractive index adjustment in response to externally-applied energy, or one-time, irreversible warping of an optic held inside a rigid ring by selective application of laser energy to parts of the surrounding ring.
FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of our invention designed to allow post-operative adjustment to more fully correct astigmatism. The IOL comprises a haptic 2, preferably having the general shape of an oval or truncated oval with a major axis of approximately 10 to 11 mm and a minor axis of about 8 to 10 mm. The haptic includes a central aperture 3 which is about 5 to 7 mm in diameter and which accommodates the optic 4, illustrated in FIG. 2. The haptic is preferably formed as a continuous piece of soft, foldable material. The periphery of the optic includes an integral flange 5, which is 1 to 2 mm in width and 0.1 to 0.5 mm in thickness and which is designed to fit within a circular groove 6 surrounding the aperture 3 in the haptic 2. The flange 5 fits within the circular groove 6 snugly enough to provide stability, but loosely enough to enable rotation of the lens 4 by means of force manually applied to attachment member 7. Attachment member 7 may comprise a depression or notch in the flange 5 (shown in Phantom) or optic 4 (as shown) designed to accommodate an adjustment probe 8; alternatively a loop of plastic may be attached to accommodate a hook-shaped or pointed adjustment probe. Optionally, a plurality of calibration markings 9 may be incised on the surface of haptic 2 at regular intervals around the periphery of the aperture 3.
Control systems and power source arrangements for micromotors are known in the art (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,108,429 (Wiley) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,066,301 (Wiley) and need not be repeated here.
f. an attachment member affixed to said flange, said attachment member facilitates said manual rotation of said optic within said haptic to accomplish adjustment of astigmatic correction.
2. The intraocular lens assembly of claim 1 wherein said attachment member is a depression.
3. The intraocular lens assembly of claim 1 wherein said attachment member is a loop.
4. The intraocular lens assembly of claim 1 wherein said flange is generally T-shaped in cross section.
5. The intraocular lens assembly of claim 1 wherein said flange further comprises in cross-sectional view a straight portion and a circular portion separated from said periphery of said optic by said straight portion.

From Linux
Support for TrueCrypt and veracrypt in Tails 3.9 will arrive on September 5
Darkcrizt | | Distributions
The developers of the Linux operating system Tails are working on what will be the new version of the system that will be version 3.9 of Tails in which during the last days some of the new features and changes that the system will have have been announced.
Currently you can know a little of the work that is being carried out in Tails, with its Release Candidate Tails RC 1, where the stable version is expected to be released on September 5 of the current year.
For those readers who a don't know tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) I can tell you that it is a Linux distribution designed to preserve the privacy and anonymity of the user.
This is a Linux distribution that is based on Debian GNU / Linux, with all outgoing connections forced out through Tor.
The system is designed to be booted as a Live CD or USB without leaving any traces on local storage (usually hard drive) unless explicitly stated.

TrueCrypt and veracrypt will arrive with the new version of Tails
The operating system Tails will receive a new version early next month, which will bring a handful of new features, bug fixes and security, and especially updates to the tools that make up the system.
The new version of Tails will be version 3.9, which is currently in development with a Release Candidate that can be used for public testing.
Among the new changes expected in this release of Tails 3.9, the distribution developer is planning to implement support for opening veracrypt encrypted drives on the GNOME desktop, which is used by default in Tails.
Tails 3.9 promises to be the first version to be released with support for veracrypt, but it also appears to be support for opening TrueCrypt volumes encrypted directly from the GNOME desktop.
In addition, this release will include the desktop "additional software package" feature.
This version also undertakes to renew the "Configure Persistent Volume" dialog interface and bring the latest software updates, including the system browser, which by default is TOR Browser, to version 8.0 (based on Mozilla Firefox 60 ESR), the client / server to anonymously access the Tor 0.3.4.6 network, as well as the Mozilla Thunderbird 60 email and news client.
Basically from the changes and updates that have been released have the following:
Integrate additional software Packages include on the desktop and the redesign of the interface "Persistent Volume Configuration".
Support unlocking TrueCrypt and veracrypt encoded volumes on the desktop.
Tor Browser update to 8.0a9, based on Firefox 60 ESR.
Thunderbird update to 60.0b10.
Improve hardware support: update some graphics drivers, firmware and update Linux to 4.17.
Update tor to 0.3.4.6-rc.
For security reasons, the Liferea feed and RSS reader will be removed from the system at the end of 2018. Therefore, it is recommended to start migrating all your feeds to Thunderbird.
The final version of the Tails 3.9 operating system will be at the beginning of the following month, which to be exact will be September 5, 2018, the same day that the GNOME Project releases the new version of its GNOME 3.30 desktop environment.
Although Tails makes use of Gnome has announced that the next release of the system will come with the GNOME 3.28 desktop environment.
Download and test Tails 3.9
As commented, currently it is possible to test the Release Candidate version of the system, with which they will be able to support the detection and reporting of errors present within this test version.
However, they must bear in mind that it is a preliminary version that should not be deployed in production environments or systems that plan for daily use, it is advisable to do the tests in a virtual machine.
