Σύνοψη του βιβλίου "Black Hills"
Paha Sapa, "Black Hills," is a Red Indian shaman who as a young boy at the Battle of Little Bighorn takes the ghost of the dying General Custer into his own body. Sixty years later as an old man working as a dynamiter on Mount Rushmore, he plots to blow it up. Meanwhile, Custer finds himself trapped in a strange, dark place and begins to write sensuous, heartbreaking missives to his beloved wife. Thus begins an intricate narrative that sweeps across decades of American history, building up a portrait of one country's relentless expansion and what was lost and destroyed in its path. Black Hills is historical fiction with Dan Simmons' trademark twist. He weaves in real places, events and people with his own uniquely weird take on reality to create a portrait of a world that is hilarious and tragic, spiritual and disturbing.

Missouri Day is an observance in the U.S. state of Missouri, currently held on the third Wednesday in October. Originally on the first Monday in October, it was moved to the third Wednesday in 1969. Created by House Bill 122 in 1915, Missouri Day is set aside to "foster love for our state's history and to teach rising generations of boys and girls the glories of Missouri."

The inspiration for the day came from native Missourian and schoolteacher Anna Lee Brosius Korn. Having composed the former state song, "Missouri", she felt the state needed an entire day to recognize significant Missourians. Korn later, after moving to Oklahoma, founded Oklahoma Day as well as the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

Though an established day, little observance is carried out in the state. While he was a State Senator, Jason Glennon Crowell had acknowledged that the day does not garner as much attention as days such as Independence Day, and some in the state have become critical of its ambiguous October observance. For over a decade, activist F. Spencer Hunley has lobbied for a concrete date, May 8, President Harry S. Truman's birthday. During that time, the change has been proposed three times before the state legislature, failing to leave committee.

Telefon is een Amerikaanse film uit 1977 van Don Siegel met in de hoofdrollen Charles Bronson, Lee Remick en Donald Pleasence. Het script is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman uit 1975 van Walter Wager. Critici konden de film waarderen. De film was een succes in de bioscopen.

Verhaal

Na de Cubacrisis in 1963 zet de Sovjet-Unie in de VS een geheim project op, Telefon genaamd. Een groot aantal "slapende" agenten wordt door de hele VS gestationeerd. De agenten zijn gehersenspoeld en weten niet dat ze agent zijn voor de Sovjet-Unie. In de VS krijgen ze de identiteit van reeds overleden Amerikanen en leiden een normaal en rustig bestaan. Als de Sovjet-Unie de tijd rijp acht om de VS binnen te vallen, kunnen de agenten worden ingezet via een telefonisch oproep. Als de agent de telefoon aanneemt hoort hij een speciale code gevolgd door zijn echte naam. Als de agent actief is moet hij sabotage verrichten door belangrijke doelen in de VS op te blazen. Twintig jaar verstrijken zonder dat het nodig is de agenten te activeren en binnen het KGB wordt het project min of meer vergeten. Maar dan weet KGB-agent Nikolai Dalchimsky over te lopen naar de VS. Hij is ontevreden over de luwte die is opgetreden in de koude oorlog en wil spanning tussen de VS en de Sovjet-Unie veroorzaken. Hij heeft om die reden het Telefonboek bij zich, met daarin de adressen, telefoonnummers en namen van de agenten van het geheime project. Dalchimsky belt de agenten en activeert ze een voor een. De Amerikaanse inlichtingendienst wordt nu geconfronteerd met schijnbaar gewone burgers die fabrieken en militaire installaties opblazen om vervolgens zelfmoord te plegen. Het verbaast de Amerikaanse overheid omdat sommige faciliteiten al jaren geleden verlaten zijn door het leger of de CIA. De KGB krijgt inmiddels lucht van de sabotage door hun eigen 'slapende' agenten en raakt in paniek. Men kan noch het Kremlin, noch Washington inlichten over het geheime project Telefon en erger, over hun onvermogen het plan buiten werking te stellen. Ze sturen KGB-majoor Grigori Bortsov naar de VS. Bortsov heeft een fotografisch geheugen en heeft het reserve Telefonboek uit zijn hoofd geleerd. Zijn opdracht is de eliminatie van Dalchimsky. In de VS krijgt hij hulp van KGB-agent Barbara. Wat Bortsov niet weet is dat Barbara opdracht heeft hem te vermoorden als hij in zijn opdracht slaagt. Wat de KGB weer niet weet is dat Barbara een dubbelagent is die werkt voor de CIA. Maar ook de CIA wil dat Bortsov vermoord wordt, zodat de agente het vertrouwen kan winnen van de KGB. Maar Barbara wordt verliefd op haar doelwit en vertelt Bortsov alles, waarna de twee gaan samenwerken tegen hun respectievelijke broodheren. Zowel de CIA als de KGB krijgt te horen om zich niet met hen te bemoeien, anders zullen zij alsnog de overige Telefonagenten onthullen.

Achtergrond

Titel
Telefon is het Russische woord voor telefoon. De "slapende" agenten in de VS worden "gewekt" met een telefonische oproep in code.

Code
In de film worden gehersenspoelde Russische agenten geactiveerd met een code. Deze code luidt: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. Dit is de titel van een gedicht van Robert Frost. Het werd gepubliceerd in zijn bundel New Hampshire (1923).

Productie
Aanvankelijk zou James B. Harris de film regisseren, maar M-G-M wilde een 'grote naam' voor de regie en vroeg Don Siegel. Scenarist Peter Hyams die eigenlijk de film ook had wilde regisseren, was al afgewezen.
Siegel was overigens weinig enthousiast over het scenario. Hij vond de plot te 'ongeloofwaardig voor woorden'. Voor de hoofdrol was Charles Bronson uitverkoren. Bronson had met Death Wish wereldfaam gekregen gemaakt en stond op toppunt van zijn roem. Hij kreeg 1,5 miljoen dollar voor zijn rol.

Regisseur Siegel en hoofdrolspeler Bronson hadden aanvankelijk wat problemen met elkaar. De regisseur eiste dat Bronson zijn snor zou afscheren. Siegel leek het logisch dat een KGB-spion zonder snor zou arriveren in de VS om zich later eventueel te kunnen vermommen. Het enige wat Bronson echter zei was, "Geen snor, geen Bronson", waarna de regisseur alleen maar zijn schouders op kon halen. Een ander incident ontstond toen Bronson weigerde actrice Lee Remick te zoenen in de scène waar ze hem ontmoet op het vliegveld. Volgens Bronson kuste hij ook zijn eigen vrouw niet bij een ontmoeting op het vliegveld. Maar nu hield Siegel zijn poot stijf. Althans, hij vroeg Lee Remick om Bronson toch te zoenen. Remick, die de enorme Bronson zag staan, schrok en zei:, "Liever niet Don, dat durf ik niet, zo dadelijk slaat hij me nog!". Maar de scène verliep zonder problemen en Bronson liet zich kussen. Wel liep het uit de hand tijdens opnamen in een glazen lift. Siegel had met zwart plakband de route aangegeven die Bronson moest volgen als hij de lift stapte. Bronson ontstak in woede en riep: "Niemand zegt mij hoe ik uit een lift moet lopen!". Siegel legde uit dat het plakband een functie had om de lift goed in beeld te krijgen, maar Bronson was nog altijd boos. Hierop dreigde Siegel weg te lopen van de set, waarna Bronson inbond. Na deze aanvaring spraken ze het uit, en vanaf dat moment verliep alles prima.

Locaties
Omdat de film deels in de Sovjet-Unie speelt en Amerikaanse filmploegen daar tijdens de Koude Oorlog niet welkom waren, week Siegel uit naar Finland. Helsinki was een favoriete plaats voor filmers die opnamen van Moskou nodig hadden. De stad heeft veel gebouwen en straten die lijken op straten en gebouwen in de Russische hoofdstad. (Siegel gebruikte ook een aantal Finse filmacteurs in cameorollen, zoals bijvoorbeeld de actrice Ansa Ikonen). Een orthodoxe kerk in Moskou bijvoorbeeld was in werkelijkheid de Oespenski-kathedraal in Helsinki.

Ook de Amerikaanse steden in de film zijn niet altijd echt. Zo maakte Siegel opnames in Great Falls (Montana), dat moest doorgaan voor Houston. Een van de exploderende gebouwen is in werkelijkheid Paris Gibson Junior High School in Great Falls, dat toch al op de nominatie stond gesloopt te worden. Andere scènes die in Houston spelen werden opgenomen op de buitenterreinen van de MGM-studio in Los Angeles. De interieurscènes van het Houston Hyatt Regency werden opgenomen in het 5 Embarcadero Center in San Francisco.

Frederick Douglass' speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" called out the hypocrisy of celebrating independence in a nation in which millions of black people were enslaved. Douglass told an audience of New York abolitionists in 1852, "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice. I must mourn." The speech has been reprinted, excerpted, or referenced dozens of times in black newspapers. Here are four examples:
"The Fourth of July," Philadelphia Tribune, July 6, 1933: "Douglass was the apostle of frank and biting speech." (Click to view PDF.)
Ethel Payne, "Will Blacks help mark 200 years of freedom?," Chicago Defender, August 23, 1971: "Douglass was plainly angry about the whole idea of celebrating a day of independence while the nation was coming apart on the issue of slavery. If he were alive today, he might be not quite as angry, but skeptical about the approaching bicentennial celebration of the American Revolution on July 4, 1976." (Click to view PDF.)
"Douglass Discusses Fourth of July," New York Amsterdam News, July 2, 1983: "What have I or those I represent to do with your national independence?" (Click to view PDF.)
"Make Democracy Real for All: Douglass Sounded a Warning," Philadelphia Tribune, July 2, 1993: "Obviously much has changed in American since Douglass stunned his audience in Rochester, N.Y. Chattel slavery in America has been abolished, yet for vast numbers of Blacks the bondage of physical slavery has been replaced by the purgatory of economic serfdom." (Click to view PDF.)

Graphic designers are constantly generating new ideas and concepts. No day is the same. And that is the beauty of our vocations. They say variety is the spice of life. But how do you stay inspired?
Of course, we check out other portfolios, creative inspiration sites, other agencies work, Pinterest and the like. We've learnt our art and design history. But inspiration doesn't just come from other pieces of design. We are also often inspired by the things we see outside of design. Film, music, art, scenery, travel, nature. To you it may just be a sunset but to us it's the colour palette for our next website.
We all have our own individual ways of finding that moment of clarity. One of our designers is a 'walker' and goes on a lunchtime jaunt in the fresh air to generate those creative juices. I find words inspire me. Design, after all, is another method of communication. One of the designers last juicy morsels of inspiration was the painstakingly made set design for Bladerunner 2049. And whilst we linger on film the colours in Amélie are the main reason it's one of my favourites.
Inspiration also doesn't always come from the same field of design either. For example, if you're working on a packaging project aimed at a certain demographic. You don't just look at other packaging, you look at other brands and products that audience are engaging with. You think about their lifestyle and how to communicate with them. It may be fashion, editorial or a marketing campaign that pushes the buttons. A good moodboard, of course, helps to set the tone before you begin.
Ultimately everything stems from a great brief and establishing a clear route with the client. And at the forefront of our minds is the knowledge that everything we come up with must fully answer that. That means a process of analysis and development, whilst remaining as objective about your ideas as possible. Luckily at DE22 we are all working to a common goal and as a team we work to inspire each other.
So next time you see someone taking a close up image of a rusty bit of metal it's probably a designer finding a great colour palette!


If your digital life is anything like mine, you're drowning in passwords.
According to the experts, we're supposed to create passwords with long, random strings of characters, not words.
For example, something like "x6yjG880k32#44m2i0A4", rather than something memorable like "Megan78".
And we're not supposed to use the same password in more than one place.
That's fine, in theory. But the practical result is a frightful mess; I mean, who can remember even one password like that, let alone dozens?
Summary: Use a product called KeePass, and manage your encrypted password file yourself.
This can be very helpful, and you should definitely invest some time looking at your options.
But be wary, because as they fall over themselves comparing every last little feature, most reviews obscure a simple yet critical question: where exactly are my passwords actually kept?
Online or device password storage?
The big decision you have to make is about the technology a password manager uses to store, sync and retrieve your passwords.
Password managers vary greatly in the features they offer, but they all have at least one thing in common: the passwords they manage are all stored in one or more encrypted data files, which you unlock using a master key.
Online solutions like LastPass, Dashlane or RoboForm offer a plethora of cool features, including the ability to access your passwords from any device. But to do that they store or sync your passwords online.
They're encrypted, of course, but you'd better hope they haven't snuck a copy of your master password, and that they use strong and verifiable open source encryption, not some home-brewed technology that can be hacked or otherwise opened if they're mandated to do so.
You also have to trust that they contain no hidden vulnerabilities. Although most companies are quick to fix problems once discovered, overall it turns out to be a bigger problem than it should be.
UPDATE June 2, 2017: Online Password Manager OneLogin has been hacked in such a way that customer data has been exposed and decrypted. Really, again?
Assuming a proper cryptographic implementation, the only way the decryption could have happened is if the hackers also stole the keys.
But why does OneLogin have keys in the first place? We can't stress it enough: any system in which someone other than you has your decryption keys is a crisis waiting to happen.
Files containing all your passwords are just too attractive a target to trust to online services. Don't do it.
We recommend using an open-source password manager called "KeePass". It's fast, easy to use and widely respected#1. It stores passwords in one or more encrypted files right on your device, eliminating the vulnerabilities of storing passwords online.
And best of all, it's completely free.
It's not the most modern user interface design, but it's extremely secure and effective. The only real disadvantage is, it's a bit more difficult to synchronize your passwords across devices.
But that's is easy to solve by getting a free file-sharing account like Dropbox (or similar), and adding an additional layer of encryption using a product like Boxcryptor, or simply copying your password file using a USB memory stick.
"Keep your passwords close. Very close".
Versions are available for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, with ports for Android, iPhone/iPad and other mobile devices.
There's something else too. It's important to examine the privacy, licensing and service agreements for the password managers you consider.
Look for a clear and explicit statement from each supplier that they do not possess the technical capacity to open your password file, no matter who asks or what hacks occur.
Unfortunately, what you'll discover is that after all the fuss they make about how fantastic their products are, most of them do not guarantee the safety of your passwords.
With KeePass you don't have to worry about any of that because nothing is stored online in the first place.
Most browsers have a built-in convenience feature that offers to remember passwords for websites and other online services.
When you return to a site and type the first few letters of your ID, the browser will fill in the rest of it, and fill in the password for you as well.
That's extremely convenient, but it's also insecure because most browsers do a poor job of protecting them. Keep all your credentials in your password manager, not in your browser.

Exciting Foyle Maritime Festival plans outlined to members
Members of Derry City and Strabane District Council's Business and Culture Committee were this week given an update regarding the planning and delivery of the Foyle Maritime Festival 2020.
Members attending the monthly meeting of the committee on Tuesday afternoon heard how Council has signed a contractual agreement with Clipper Ventures to host the Clipper 2019-20 Race in the Foyle Marina in July 2020. They were informed how the partnership has been an integral part of the Council's international campaign to showcase the city and region as a world class destination for visitors and investors.
Aeidin McCarter, Head of Culture with the Council advised members that the Clipper yachts are expected to arrive in the city from 23 July, and that work is progressing well with promoters, organisations and businesses to develop an action packed programme of animation and activity for the duration of the festival.
Members heard how the festival will run for 11 days delivering an enhanced level of activity over the five major days of the festival that could possibly include a full road closure along Queen's Quay. The full road closure would help facilitate the large crowds of people expected by providing a more enhanced experience.
Members were reassured that should Council apply for a full road closure it would be subject to the process of application and ideally would be for no more than 4-5 days given the wider impact on city centre traffic and subject to the approval of partners and businesses with a focus on minimising any disruption and impact.
Details of the draft festival programme, that will incorporate a Legenderry Street Food Festival and a Tall Tales of the Sea programme of animation that will include a Museum Voyages marquee, Science of Water, Tall ships and navy visits, Clipper Race tours and excursion, on-water displays, Maritime and Merchant Markets and an Underwater garden, were also outlined to members.
Members heard how the Saint Colmcille themed Showcase finale event for this year's festival promises to be another large-scale landscape piece of theatre that encompasses land, water and air, a parade of light on the water with ships and boats and featuring a pyrotechnic show.
Aeidin McCarter advised members that officers are continuing to work closely with all agencies, including the Loughs Agency, with regards to their plans for inclusion to further enhance the festival programme content.
She said ongoing work was continuing with Clipper Ventures, Invest NI and Tourism Ireland (USA) regarding Council activation at two international stopovers in Seattle and New York and work is also progressing on finalising arrangements for additional support services including the festival bar, the continental market and showcase event.
Updated information relating to the Maritime Market and street trading arrangements during the festival were also outlined to members while detailed information relating to budget and funding support, as well as information relating to the planned marketing activity and sponsorship, were provided at the meeting.
Members were also told how a further business engagement event to inform businesses and stakeholders on the festival programme to date and how they can maximise the opportunities, is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 10 March.

Chapter 128 Why Did You Act So Excitedly
Trapped with the Doctor By Bai Cha Characters: 7591
Angela didn't like Daisy's suggestion of returning to C Country. If Arvin wasn't here, she would have definitely returned home. But now she cared about nothing else but Arvin. If she went back home, she wouldn't be able to see Arvin anymore. She didn't want that.
So she put on a big smile and said, "Of course, Mom. I will come back but, when I get bored."
"You only care about playing around, Angela, " Daisy said in an exasperated voice. "I heard that you are working in the Research and Development department. You must watch out, alright?"
I know, Mom. There are other people responsible for handling the dangerous chemicals." Angela wondered if Arvin had asked the staff to keep an eye on her because every time she tried to handle any hazardous chemicals, she would find herself surrounded by multiple people to help her.
"Well then, Angela, Mom wants to ask you something, " said Daisy, stopping and grabbing Angela's hands. She looked at her daughter carefully and was shocked by what she saw. Angela had changed. In fact, she had changed a lot. How could Angela change so much? Daisy had this feeling when she saw Angela for the first time that day. But, she was not sure what had caused the change. She felt confident that Angela seemed... more mature?
Angela was looking good. She had ruddy cheeks and bright eyes. In short, Angela looked more beautiful than before!
Was she overthinking or was it just because she hadn't seen Angela for long?
"Yes, Mom? What's wrong?" Angela asked, breaking into her thoughts.
Daisy held back her own thoughts and looked at Angela, "Do you love Arvin?"
Hearing Arvin's name, Angela immediately blushed again. She released Daisy's hands. "Mom, why did you ask that?" she said turning away, eager to hide her burning face from her mother.
Oh my gosh! How did mom know? Is it so obvious?
"Angela honey, don't run away." Daisy hadn't expected Angela would not answer her question. Seeing her turn away, she immediately asked her to stop.
"No, I don't. And don't ask me again." Angela said turning back to face her mother. But, she could not meet her mother's eyes.
... "Ok, Ok, I won't ask. But tell me, why did you act so excitedly?" Angela's reaction had convinced Daisy that she loved Arvin v
Angela didn't say anything.
"Angela, please." He was calling her name.
Why was he calling her? Didn't he get bored of her? So he tried to drive her away from his house? Then why was he asking her to come out now?
Angela thought about it and said only two words to Arvin, "I won't!" Then she disconnected the call without waiting for his reply.
A piece of lamb chop was placed in Angela's plate. When she raised her head, she noticed Daisy watching her with concern. "Angela, you didn't seem happy. Whose call was it?"
Daisy's question diverted everybody's attention to her.
Angela didn't want others to worry about her, so she quickly put on a smile. "Nothing, Mom, " she tried to assure Daisy.
"Does the food not agree with your stomach, Honey?" Teresa also sensed that Angela didn't look well.
"No, it is fine..." Before she could finish the sentence, her phone rang again.
Angela stole a glance at it. It was Arvin again. She quickly disconnected the call.
"Why didn't you answer that?" Daisy was sure that Angela was behaving strangely.
"It was from the advertisement company. I'm fine. Really. Uncle and Aunt, let's enjoy the lunch!" Having reassured everybody, Angela casually slipped the phone in her pocket.
Several minutes later, Arvin walked in. He looked gloomy.
When he sat down, he secretly looked at Angela. Seeing the pain in her face, he sighed in silence.
"Pick up your glass, Angela and make a toast to Dr. Gu with me, " Daisy said during the lunch.

IT-ROI needed an effective and efficient solution for reaching decision makers up the line of command in target companies. It needed a tool that would help it refresh the data and provide insight into opportunities as they arise.
IT-ROI, www.itroisolutions.com, is a software company and project portfolio management (PPM) integration provider specializing in solutions that dramatically improve customer productivity and streamline business application performance. IT-ROI has extensive experience with enterprise data integrations and migrations and CA Clarity related challenges.
IT-ROI found great success selling its value proposition to the managers of information technology projects. But that is where it stalled; the value proposition was not reaching the decision makers, the people with the checkbook. Without having the contacts at the executive level, sales effectiveness was lower than anticipated since project managers ended up trying to sell the IT-ROI solution up the chain of command. Opportunities were stalled or lost because executive sponsorship was hard to attain.
When the software sales campaign began 9 months ago, the sales force was working from a database that contained about 50% bad contact data. Accounts would have only one contact associated with them and invariably that person had moved on to a different role. Refreshing this information internally could have taken years, during which time IT-ROI would have continued to suffer from poor sales effectiveness because sales reps would waste time and miss potential opportunities.
Additionally, IT-ROI did not have a data intelligence source for new projects or initiatives. With a sales force that is small relative to the market it serves, efficiently getting to the right contact is vital to IT-ROI's success. The company needed to move from an unsystematic web canvasing approach to spending organized time pursuing real opportunities.
IT-ROI needed access to contact information up the chain of command in its target accounts and to be aware of projects and changes within these organizations. To increase sales effectiveness, it needed to have the ability to approach the sales process armed with solutions relevant to the target company's current pain points or initiatives.
In 2013, IT-ROI selected the Enterprise, Mid-Market, SME and Government datasets from DiscoverOrg. Using the salesforce.com native integration, IT-ROI managed a complete refresh of leads, contacts, relationships and other key contact information in a matter of months.
Because of DiscoverOrg's salesforce.com integration, IT-ROI sales teams were no longer wasting time with inaccurate and outdated customer data and opportunities. All of the most updated target information, including reporting structures, direct dial and email addresses are available within IT-ROI's salesforce.com application at the lead, contact or account level with just a click of a button. The company has seen a 60-fold return on investment and dramatically increased its sales effectiveness.
IT-ROI maps out customer success by tapping into the DiscoverOrg IT Org Charts. Sales reps identify the key contact they want to reach and corresponding contacts around that person in the org chart. Armed with this information, IT-ROI is starting successful, informed conversations with the influencers and decision makers at target companies.
Using DiscoverOrg for Salesforce 3.0, the newest version of the integration, will allow IT-ROI to access the latest updates in the DiscoverOrg platform – contacts via IT Org Chart and Real-Time trigger updates within the Salesforce Chatter feed.
IT-ROI has achieved a 60X return on its DiscoverOrg investment and attributes this increase in sales directly to information provided by DiscoverOrg.
With each sales person covering approximately 5,000 possible targets, DiscoverOrg enables effective and efficient time allocation, increasing sales effectiveness dramatically.
DiscoverOrg's IT Org Charts allow sales teams to utilize a multi-tier outreach strategy to great success. Equipped with accurate reporting structures, the sales teams attract the attention of the appropriate contact flawlessly.
DiscoverOrg's native salesforce.com integration allows sales reps to systematically organize targets and contacts, confident that the information will be correct.
DiscoverOrg's research team has become an extension of the IT-ROI team. Accessing a live person within the DiscoverOrg team, IT-ROI sales people can get a contact added to an account within minutes to hours, without fail.

Real Stories Bodyshops using CAPS quadruples in two years after investment and rapid growth
Bodyshops using CAPS quadruples in two years after investment and rapid growth
More than 900 UK bodyshops now use CAPS to exchange data securely with insurance companies and their supply chain partners. This follows two years of rapid growth that has seen the number of users more than quadruple.
This means that CAPS is now the preferred data-sharing standard for a sizeable proportion of UK bodyshops that undertake collision damage repair for insurance companies. It is used to exchange data on more than 100,000 claims per month.
The growth in users follows significant investment in CAPS to develop the platform for the needs of the industry. This included a major re-hosting exercise in 2017 to enhance system security and to increase transparency and user control of who sees the shared data. It is increasingly the de facto standard for data transfer among companies involved in collision repair.
David Neave, Chair of the CAPS National Advisory Council, said: "The dramatic growth in the number of body shops using CAPS is evidence that the industry wants to work together and share information in a safe and secure environment to better serve policyholders.
"Access to accurate, up-to-date information is critical to today's digitally driven businesses, and this is as true in collision repair as it is in any sector. We are also seeing significant interest from insurance companies, which are increasingly technologically focused. CAPS is a great example of how the industry can work together to support initiatives that benefit everyone, and, in particular, the customer."
CAPS is a secure system that connects body shops, work providers and insurers to all the major claims and management applications, enabling them to share data safely and consistently. CAPS allows any company involved in the collision repair process to work more effectively with its chosen partners and better serve its customers by sharing data quickly and seamlessly.

"There is nothing to intercept the bombers": the US envied the Russian MiG-31
How well the United States can intercept strategic bombers of other countries, decided to find out the American edition of Military Watch.
The publication reports that in the period from May 28 to May 31, 2020, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) conducts large-scale exercises in the Atlantic to test the interception of long-range bombers of a potential enemy. Maneuvers of this level were quite rare even during the Cold War. They are held against the backdrop of growing tension with almost equal opponents - Russia and China.
At the same time, Russia and the United States remain the only states on the planet that have intercontinental range bombers. But China has equipped its Xian (Xi'an) H-6 bombers, which are a licensed copy of the Soviet Tu-16 jet bombers, with new long-range ammunition that can threaten targets in the United States. Moreover, all three countries have ambitious programs to develop a new generation of intercontinental bombers.
According to the publication, by the end of the decade, China will have an impressive fleet of next-generation N-20 bombers in its arsenal. The United States is creating its own B-21 bomber, and Russia is creating a long-range long-range aviation complex (PAK YES), while modernizing the existing bombers. But by far the most dangerous bomber for the United States is the Russian Tu-160.
It is also specified that Russia has invested heavily in upgrading the MiG-31 interceptors to the BM version in order to better protect its territory from bombing attacks. MiG-31BM has such flying capabilities that are absent from any other fighter in the United States.
The United States has virtually nothing to intercept bombers. The Pentagon has not invested in creating aircraft of this class for many years. Most suitable for these purposes was the F-14D Tomcat, but since 2006 they have all been "retired"
- envied the publication of the Russian MiG-31.

Well let's face it.
Only six out of 61 Air Force B-1 bombers are fully capable of completing missions, said South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds on July 30.
In their opinion, in the current situation it is obvious that the B-1 B does not enjoy any priorities with the Air Force command, there is no clear understanding of its use, moreover, the vast majority of crews are disbanded and transferred to serve in the air due to long downtime other units.
https://newsland.com/user/4297772372/content/senator-tolko-shest-bombardirovshchikov-b-1v-polnostiu-boesposobny/6829854
The findings are published in the published magazine of the US Air Force, where it is reported that from the 61 unit B-1 Lancer to perform combat missions at the moment are suitable only 6 aircraft.
From the material:
15 heavy bombers are under maintenance in factory hangars, 39 aircraft are closed for inspection for various reasons.
Another bomber is listed on paper, and it is still "looking for".
That is, the state of 39 aircraft can not be checked, and one strategic bomber in the United States in general, "lost."
Rounds, noting the rapporteurs' conclusions, stated that the main part of the fleet "is in the process of intensive maintenance work." At the same time, the Senate noted that such a high percentage of heavy bombers simultaneously sent for maintenance is not acceptable.
In response, General Timothy Ray, who is the Chief of the Global Shock Command of the United States Air Force, said that "the fleet of the B-1 Lancer is aging, and therefore wear is too large."
General Ray:
These are elderly planes. We are facing more and more with a high degree of wear.
For reference: the supersonic "strategist" B-1 first flew 45 years ago, while the beginning of its operation in the US Air Force took place only ten years after the first flight - in 1984. The last car of this type in the United States was produced more than 30 years ago - in 1988.
https://topwar.ru/160745-komissija-vvs-ssha-v-boevom-sostojanii-nahodjatsja-shest-b-1-lancer-iz-61.html
Total, 6 workers V-1V, 15 V-1V for maintenance, as the machines are old and worn. 39 V-1V closed for inspections (why would it?) I suspect that they are already flightless and have exhausted their resources, spare parts from which are being repaired for the same 15 V-1V that are under maintenance. According to the results, after all repairs they will have 21 V-1V, which is in line with plans to write off 40 V-1V, which are currently donors of spare parts and are only part of, but in fact are firewood. In our system, 16 Tu-160 plus new Tu-160M2 are still under construction. Total, between B-1B and Tu-160 plus or minus parity. And not how you write about the mythical 70-100 jet bombers, which only the B-1B are in the US Air Force.
Sergey Latyshev (Serge) 1 June 2020 19: 55
You are absolutely right.
Only for these models: 16 Tu-160, + 1 -10 pcs., Which they promise to build someday.
Against, 61 B-1 bombers, which, like, are not ready (or like scouts, where the inspection is not allowed.)
+ 60 Tu-22 + 60 TU-95, though screw, it is not particularly necessary to catch them.
-19 B-2, 60 B-52, of which you still need to catch up.
So yes, you are right.

Print 20 lard of American money and you will have a new interceptor in five years maximum. Will the United States defend against ours with the Chinese insidious plans to bomb the United States. Dreamed very much from someone in the US themselves to master a bunch of American money.

Just a few fun shots. I love doing these low key shots whenever I get a chance as they are a lot of fun. Best (for me) works already when its darkish outside (you don't need a pitch black background). I also like to do some fun stuff towards white background.


I talk with nationally renowned poet and literary activist E. Ethelbert Miller about Ceremonies of Dark Men, an exhibition of large-scale photographs by five male artists complemented by poetic excerpts and placed in key areas around Washington, DC. The works will, in part, address issues of black manhood in creative ways. The exhibition will be unveiled this weekend (September 5) and be on display until December 30, 2014.

The aim of history teaching here at Orgill Primary School is to stimulate the children's interest and understanding about the life of people who lived in the past. We teach children a sense of chronology, and through this they develop a sense of identity and a cultural understanding based on their historical heritage. Thus they learn to value their own and other people's cultures in modern multicultural Britain and, by considering how people lived in the past, they are better able to make their own life choices today. In our school, history makes a significant contribution to citizenship education by teaching about how Britain developed as a democratic society. We teach children to understand how events in the past have influenced our lives today; we also teach them to investigate these past events and, by so doing, to develop the skills of enquiry, analysis, interpretation and problem-solving.
At Orgill, our main aim when teaching History is to enable children to think as historians. Our teaching of history is planned and taught using The Learning Challenge Curriculum.
The Learning Challenge concept is built around the principle of greater learner involvement in their work.It requires deep thinking and encourages learners to work using a question as the starting point.
In designing the curriculum, teachers and pupils are using a prime learning challenge, expressed as a question, as the starting point. Using the information gained from pre-learning tasks (such as mind mapping) a series of subsidiary challenges, also expressed as questions, are then planned.These learning challenges all fulfil the National Curriculum requirements of History at Key Stages 1 and 2.
It is important that the learning challenges make sense to the children and be something that is within their immediate understanding.
We believe that time for our children to reflect or review their learning in History is central to the whole learning process.
Teachers hand over the final subsidiary learning challenge to the children to reflect on their learning.The idea is that the children present their learning back to the rest of the class or other appropriate audience, making the most of their oracy and ICT skills to do so.
Although reflection is seen as a concluding part of the prime learning challenge, teachers also ensure that there are continuous opportunities for children to reflect frequently.
In each key stage, we also give children the opportunity to visit sites of historical significance. We encourage visitors to come into the school and talk about their experiences of events in the past. We recognise and value the importance of stories in history teaching and we regard this as an important way of stimulating interest in the past and have Key Texts linked to each Learning Challenge. We focus on helping children understand that historical events can be interpreted in different ways and that they should always ask searching questions, such as 'how do we know?', about information they are given.

Omio is an online ticket agency which offers tickets for rail journeys in France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Spain.
The three key advantages of using Omio are
it offers prices in multiple currencies
it usually offers price comparison with other modes of travel including flights and buses
when visiting Europe, you can book journeys in multiple countries in one transaction.
The disadvantage of booking with Omio is that it often adds a booking fee to the final price; therefore when it does so without offering a price advantage, SMTJ doesn't tend to offer Omio as a booking option.

If you're a fan of engineering achievements then this is an awe-inspiring journey.
After Domodossola the train travels through The Simplon Tunnel and after Visp it will travel through The Lötschberg Base Tunnel - both of which were previous holders of world's longest railway tunnel honors.
If your reserved seat is on the right of the train (when facing the direction of travel) the first highlight from a scenic point of view are the fabulous views over Lake Maggiore.
They can be seen north of Arona, but what's worth looking out for is when the train departs from Stresa.
This video was taken when travelling in the opposite direction...
...and shows the beautiful islands in the lake; and it also showcases why ShowMeTheJourney has tried and failed to photograph these islands, they can only be glimpsed through the trees.
The part of the journey between Domodossola and The Simplon Tunnel is also fabulous, as the train will thread through a valley as it approaches the tunnel.
The other scenic highlight is the part of the journey between exiting the Lotschberg Base Tunnel and arriving in Thun station.
The beautiful Thunersee comes into view on the right as the train arrives in Spiez.
Between Speiz and Thun the train travels by the shore of Lake Thun.
The lake is on the right when heading north.

Passion projects can offer a creative outlet unconstrained by client feedback, timelines and budgets. While this may appear liberating, having no limitations can present its own unique set of challenges. Things normally taken for granted become the largest obstacles: where to start, where to go and when to stop.

The Possible's Second Episode on Within Tackles Something Einstein Got Wrong
Charles Singletary
Virtual reality continues to be an incredible platform for creators to innovate when telling stories and there are plenty of groups taking advantage of this, large and small. Hulu has taken to the medium for news and comedy shows along with the Life brand's shift into documentary-like VR content, but Within is an entity that was named entirely with VR storytelling in mind.
Continuing its trend of producing high-quality immersive content, Within unveiled a new episode of their science and engineering documentary series called The Possible.
Founded by filmmaker Chris Milk, Within collaborates with companies like Apple, NBC, Vice, and many more to create experiences across a collection of genres. The Possible, made with financial backing from GE, will place viewers face to face with cutting edge technology and discoveries across the life of the serial series. Its second episode is named Listening to the Universe and tackles something that Einstein actually got wrong:
A century ago, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves—ripples in spacetime—but believed they were so small that humans would never observe them.
More recently, an MIT physics professor did the math and concluded that Einstein was wrong. So he built the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which measures almost infinitesimally small disturbances in spacetime—smaller than anything that's been measured before. And in 2016, LIGO succeeded, detecting gravitational waves from a massive, faraway collision between black holes.
Pakistani-American astrophysicist Nergis Mavalvala PhD is the MIT physics professor mentioned in the episode's summary and she's also known for her pioneering experiments on laser cooling of macroscopic objects and in the generation of squeezed quantum states of light.
If this new episode is any testament to the future stories, The Possible is going to be a very deep dive into science and tech and include collaborations with some of the greatest minds in the world. Listening to the Universe is available in the Within app for iOS, Android, Steam VR, Oculus Home, and PS VR and it's available to watch on their website as well.

A: Multidimensional array cannot grow like 1D arrays

A stored array value can be enlarged by assigning to elements not
  already present. Any positions between those previously present and
  the newly assigned elements will be filled with nulls. For example, if
  array myarray currently has 4 elements, it will have six elements
  after an update that assigns to myarray[6]; myarray[5] will contain
  null. Currently, enlargement in this fashion is only allowed for
  one-dimensional arrays, not multidimensional arrays.

So you would have to initialize the array first, then populate it.
do $$

declare pole text[][];

begin

pole := array_fill(null::text, array[6,4]);

for y in 1..6
loop
  for x in 1..4
  loop

    raise notice 'x: %',x;
    raise notice 'y: %',y;
    pole[y][x] = '0';
  end loop;
end loop;

raise notice 'pole : %', pole;
raise notice 'pole one: %', pole[2][1];

They promised to come at 9 am and took a leave formwork. But they didn't come till 3 pm. Worst service ever. Not recommended!
I am very much happy with this packers & movers, they did exactly what they said, all my items came carefully. Packing, delivery, loading and unloading was perfectly done. It's my first shifting preferring packers and movers.
Shifted my 2BHK household items, friendly and professional team but little high price.
Handled everything from packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and unpacking perfectly. Good option for moving within Bangalore with total safety and peace of mind.
We shifted within Bangalore from HSR Layout to Madiwala with all our home appliances and furniture. They done it in very professional way and moved every item without damage.

The Works of Jerry Iuliano
Ancient Numbers Revealed in Scientific Formulas
Compiled by Joseph E. Mason
Sunspot Cycle and the Collective Unconscious
Scientist Ray Tomes has developed a theory called the 'Harmonics of the Universe'. For many years Ray Tomes had been working for customers developing economic models to forecast developments in stock market prices of all sorts of commodity.
Eventually he discovered cyclic behaviour in these stock market prices that were harmonics of the planetary periods. He also found musical ratios in the harmonics involving fractions of 3/2, 4/3 and 2 and proportions of 4:5:6:8 that formed major cords in the musical scale.
His theory now suggests that many cyclic events occurring in nature such as biological, physical, and economical cycles have harmonics that are interrelated much like the notes in music.
Ray Tomes has found that many economic cycles are pure harmonics of the Sun's rotation, its solar rotation period at the equator of 25.8 days and of the Sunspot cycle of 11.07 years. The Sunspot cycle is the cycle in the Sun�s activity that decreases and increases in cycles to culminate to a solar maximum every 11.07 years.
Ray Tomes believes that the cycles that we find in our Solar System are harmonics of even larger cycles that occur in the Milky Way, our galaxy. All galactic cycles eventually are believed to be harmonics of a single universal cosmic cycle.
Vedic tradition has always explained that the universe is the result of one primordial resonating vibration, the Ohm sound of creation. In a sense we could say that our universe is one big song, it's a uni-verse (one song).
Ray Tomes found a very harmonic ratio 34560 that miraculously seems to be the ratio that by scale connects everything in the universe from the quantum realm to the universe at large. For instance if we were to take the average distance between moons and multiply it by 34560 we get the average distance between planets. If again we multiply this value by 34560 we get the average distance between stars etc. The ratio 34560 seems to scale all of the following spherical objects from small to large: nucleons, atoms, cells, moons, planets, stars, galaxies, universe . . .
The number of the sun's sunspot cycle...11.07years . . . is a collective unconscious number:
aem = 1/137.03599911 = fine-structure constant:
(( log (( sqrt 137.03599911 ) * 666 )) + 2988 ) * .0037 = 11.07
2988 / 2 / 2 = 747
747 / 3.7 = 201.891891891. . .
. . . The harmonic number 34560 is also a collective unconscious form:
( 10 ^ ( 34559.99709 / 8880 )) / 666 = sqrt 137.03599911
(( 34560 / 8880 ) + 2988 ) * .0037 = 11.07
. . . Symbolically, 8880 is the number of Christ, while 666 is the number of the beast.
J.Iuliano
Daniel Winter who learned about the miraculous ratio of Ray Tomes discovered that if we compress the speed of light by a factor of 34560 we get the speed of sound. If we compress the speed of sound by a factor of 34560 we get the speed of heat.
The number 34560 according to Ray Tomes is the seed number for many cycles in the universe.
Another astonishing fact is that a Sumerian clay tablet named after its finding place Nineveh has been found that contains a cosmological constant with a value of 70 * 60^7 (seventy times sixty raised to the power of seven).
70 * ( 60 ^ 7 ) = 1.959552 * ( 10 ^ 13 )
1959552 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 2 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3 / 3.7 = 1.891891891
. . . 1.891891891 is a collective unconscious constant = 7 / 3.7
The Nineveh constant, after being decoded by NASA astrophysicist Maurice Chatelain, perfectly described all the orbital times of our planets down to a second if whole fractions of this number are taken. For example Pluto has a perfect 25000 cycles in the Nineveh constant and Halley's Comet has 81.000 cycles. Since the Nineveh constant's measure is the second, it equates to a cycle time of roughly 6.2 million years.
Starting from the Nineveh constant, researcher David Wilcock discovered a galactic constant that he named the Wilcock constant that equals 0.7 * 60^9. This constant is exactly 36 times the Nineveh constant and according to Wilcock will harmonically connect all orbits of all objects in our galaxy.

From Joseph E. Mason
One interesting multiple of the Nineveh Constant (without the ending zeors) is:
1959552 = 72^2 x 378
1959552 = 5184 x 378
See Jerry's article:
Aztec Hunab Number 378 and 82944
The Roman Measures
Jerry mentions the number 5184 in this article:
Cheops Pyramid Face Angle
[Excerpt]
There are various degree angles given, all in the vicinity of 51.85 degrees, which different scientists have determined represent the intended, finite angle of the Great Pyramid.
Because of the weather worn and sand lashed condition of these limestone sheathed surfaces, the exact degree angle will never be resolved, definitively, by averaging the damaged angles of the casing stones themselves. We do, however, know that the architects were aiming for a figure around 51.85 degrees.
Happily, the true figure can easily be identified mathematically, as there is only one plausible possibility.
1. The sought after, coded angle was 51.84 degrees...for the following reasons:
2. The number 51.84 is an exact fraction of 25920, the anciently used number that described, in years, the duration of the Precession of the Equinoxes for a complete circuit (51.84 X 500 = 25920).
3. The angle, 51.84 degrees, divided by 2 = 25.92...again coding the appropriate numbers related to the Precession of the Equinoxes.
4. It has been determined, through comparative analysis, that the ancient reed measurement was 10.5 feet or 126 inches. Therefore, given that the true length of the Great Pyramid was 756 feet, which equates to 72 reeds per side, the total area that the pyramid covers is 72 X 72 reeds or 5184 square reeds.
5. It will be shown that the Heel stone at Stonehenge resides 259.20 feet from the exact centre of the site to the outlying face of the stone, The azimuth angle from site centre to the south-western extremity face of the stone was intended to convey 51.84 degrees off North.
[End of excerpt]
On January 14, 2006, a coincidence happened. I was searching for information about the Nineveh Constant and came to see the 5184 connection. The Gematrian Alpha/Word meaning of 5184 is said to be, "Victory over the beast."
I searched for 5184 ancient number -
5184 ancient number - Google Search
The first links were to earthmatrix.com, the site of Charles Johnson. Charles and I became "number friends" around 1996.
Pyramids of Egypt:
Precession Numbers and Degrees of Angles
The Platonic Year 25,920 would produce the following numbers:
103.68; 51.84; 25.92 expressed as fractals of the decimal system. Therefore, 51.84° is 51° 50' 24"0. In other words, the angle of inclination 51° 50' 24"0 would express the decimal number 51.84° , which could be the fractal expression of double the 25,920 Platonic Year number (25920 x 2 = 51840). These numbers and degrees would represent the ideal grand cycle of the Sun of 26,000 years.
Another link was to this article, coincidentally by another "number friend," T.L. Subash and others:
A Key to unlock The Mystery on Bolivia�s rock Symbols
By T.L.Subash Chandira Bose and Jack Andrews
http://www.geocities.com/tlscbose/Boliviapart-2.htm
In the part one of this article we have observed the formation of eight directions and a formation of two squares, the Inner Square with a side of 36 inches and marked outer square with a side of 72 inches. Now let us observe the area of a square doubled in the ancient method.
36 x 36 = 1296 sq.inches.
1296 x 2 = 2592 sq.inches. The square root of 2592 is 50.91168825
2592 x 2 = 5184 Sq.inches. The square root of 5184 is 72
Regarding the "harmonic ratio 34560" mentioned by Jerry, this came to mind:
3456 x 567 = 1959552
567 = 7 x 81
567 = 7 x 9^2
While searching for additional information for these notes on February 11, 2006, I found that Charles Johnson has placed my article about music on his site:
The Crop Circle Music Wheel
http://www.earthmatrix.com/forum/mason/joemusic.htm
He had previously asked permission, and, of course, I was honored to give it. The same article is at this address:
http://www.greatdreams.com/numbers/music/joemusic.htm
Charles has a great article about 432 tuning, based on James (Jimi) Furia's work. Jimi is our mutual number friend -
The Octave: Tuning at A432 or F432
http://www.earthmatrix.com/piano/octave.htm
Jimi's Music Wheels
http://members.aol.com/johnkeely/geo1.html
Since the Nineveh Constant is evenly divisible by 432, the "Consecration" number, which is also a cycle of number, it seems relevant. This is an excerpt from Code of the Ancients:
The Great Pyramid and 432 -
Confirmation from The Message of the Sphinx
I recently found a confirmation of "The Code," in The Message of the Sphinx, by Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval (pages 37, 38):
"Also 'almost impossible', since the mathematical value of pi (3.14) is not supposed to have been calculated by any civilization until the Greeks stumbled upon it in the third century BC, is the fact the designed height of the Great Pyramid - 481.3949 feet - bears the same relationship to its base perimeter (3023.16 feet) as does the circumference of any circle to its radius.
Equally 'impossible' - at any rate for a people like the ancient Egyptians who are supposed to have known nothing about the true shape and size of our planet - is the relationship, in a scale of 1 : 43,200, that exists between the dimensions of the Pyramid and the dimensions of the earth. Setting aside for the moment the question of whether we are dealing with coincidence here, it is a simple fact, verifiable on any pocket calculator, that if you take the monument's original height (481.3949 feet) and multiply it by 43,200 you get a quotient of 3938.685 miles. This is an underestimate by just 11 miles of the true figure for the polar radius of the earth (3949 miles) worked out by the best modern methods. Likewise, if you take the monument's perimeter at the base (3023.16 feet) and multiply this figure by 43,200 then you get 24,734.94 miles - a result that is within 170 miles of the true equatorial circumference of the earth (24,902 miles). Moreover, although 170 miles sounds quite a lot, it amounts, in relation to the earth's total circumference, to a minus-error of only three quarters of a single per cent."
