Le phare de Two Rivers (en ), était un phare du lac Michigan anciennement situé à l'entrée du port de Two Rivers dans le Comté de Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Il est désormais situé en ville et sert de musée.

Historique
Le premier phare, érigé en 1852, était une structure en brique sur le rivage, d'un étage et demi avec une coupole. Cette lumière n'a fonctionné que jusqu'en 1858.

Un projet d'amélioration du port a été lancé en 1870, y compris la construction par étapes d'une paire de brise-lames définissant le canal d'entrée. En 1886, un phare a été construit à la fin du brise-lames nord. Une simple tour pyramidale en bois a été construite, composée d'une pièce sur une charpente ouverte en bois surmontée de la lanterne. Une lentille de Fresnel du sixième ordre a été fournie comme source de lumière, affichant une lumière rouge fixe. Ce phare ne contenait aucune habitation. Le gardien du phare de Rawley Point l'entretenait, accédant à la lumière via une longue passerelle sur toute la longueur de la jetée.

Le phare a été endommagé au cours du premier mois de fonctionnement lorsqu'un navire a heurté la jetée. En 1907–1909 une habitation de gardien et un bâtiment à carburant ont été construites sur le site de l'ancien feu de rivage. En même temps une cloche de brouillard a été ajoutée à la lumière, son mécanisme étant actionné par un générateur qui avait été installé dans un hangar à l'autre extrémité de la jetée. Cet arrangement a été jugé insatisfaisant, et un diaphone a été ajouté entre 1926 et 1931. Pendant les réparations en 1928 des dommages causés par les tempêtes, la lumière a été transformée pour fonctionner à l'électricité.

Ce phare  a continué à fonctionner jusqu'en 1969, date à laquelle il a été remplacé par une tour en acier. Le bâtiment plus ancien a été sauvé et, en 1975, a été donné au Rogers Street Fishing Village, pour en faire un musée englobant aussil'ancienne station de sauvetage de la Garde côtière. L'ancien bâtiment se dresse désormais sur une plate-forme similaire à sa fondation d'origine, bien qu'il soit maintenant entouré d'une passerelle surélevée. Malheureusement pendant le déménagement, l'objectif a été brisé, mais celui-ci a été restauré grâce à une subvention en 2006, et il a été remis en exposition en 2009.

The part or component designer and the powder metallurgy (PM) part fabricator are partners throughout the creation of a PM part. There are benefits for both part designer and fabricator if both parties begin to work together early in the design & development phase. In short, if you want a well-engineered and economical product, be willing to work together.
Once the design process reaches a point where quotes are needed, accurate specifications are essential—and this accuracy can depend on early interaction with a PM parts fabricator.
When requesting a quote, accurate part performance specifications must be provided. Refer to the MPIF Standard 35: Material Standards for PM Structural Parts for properties and specifications.
It is important to stress a part's function, as critical requirements for satisfactory service. For optimum results and efficiency, give the PM parts fabricator the widest possible latitude in specifying material, design, physical characteristics, dimensional tolerances, etc. Widely differing costs may result from varying quality levels, a change in tolerances or design, or a failure to specify minimum properties. Additionally, there may be more than one MPIF material that can satisfy the requirements.
Order quantities which include initial needs and a future demand forecast. This enables the most economical approach to costs, manufacturing integration, and delivery.
Detailed drawings of the part and any assembly drawings. Actual samples or prototypes would be helpful. Transmit any information such as knowledge of materials that have worked well in the application.
Can part design be modified without affecting function? If so, where?
Will the PM part replace one currently in production, or is this a new application? Is the application military, aerospace, medical, etc.?
Actual service conditions: heat, moisture, impact, corrosiveness, etc.
Necessary physical, mechanical, corrosion-resistance, or special properties (tensile, elongation, hardness, flatness, conductivity, impact energy, fatigue strength, leak tightness, etc.).
The finish required (plating, oxide coating, surface finish).
If any machining or secondary operations are required, will they be performed by the PM supplier?
For bearings: load, shaft materials and finish, speed, service conditions, and diameter should be noted.
Powder metallurgy components are used throughout day-to-day life. You'll find PM components in cars, used in aerospace and for the military, in agriculture, for countless medical purposes, for recreation and hand tools, and much more.

How to Avoid the Tourist Traps of Fisherman's Wharf
United States California San Francisco
All San Francisco
Anne Tittiger, with updates by Laura Kiniry
TripSavvy / Melissa Zink
Are you a San Francisco rookie? Avoid tourist traps on Fisherman's Wharf by consulting this guide.
Start Your Day at Darren's Café
Skip the continental breakfast at the hotel, you've got better options. Darren's Cafe isn't exactly off the beaten path—it's just a few blocks east of Ghirardelli Square—but it's somehow remained under the radar. Stop in for delicious plates of eggs Benedict or three-egg omelettes with cheese and avocado. They even have pho to help warm you for when Karl the Fog makes an early move.
Go Sailing, Not Cruising
It's still a bay tour, but is one of those San Francisco experiences that you won't regret. Forgo the crowded steam-powered boat and try Adventure Cat Sailing instead. They've been chartering catamarans on the bay for 25+ years. When you're in a catamaran, you can feel the wind whipping your face, and the waves licking the boat beneath you. It's a full sensory experience! Adventure Cat even takes the same route as most bay cruises, along with some great tunes and plenty of beer and wine (bring cash) to keep you imbibing happily. There won't be any audio tours, though listening to the sounds of the bay is way more inspiring. $45 per person for afternoon sail; $60 per person for sunset sail; Pier 39
See the Sea Lions
If you're not from California this is a really unique experience, and it's absolutely free. Go Take a peek at the sea lions from Pier 39—you'll likely see them all flopped on top of one another for nap-time. It's best to time this with your bay sailing, since they hang out on the piers next to Adventure Cat, giving you an even closer look at their whiskered faces and a real understanding for just how large they really are. To get the real sea lion experience, listen for them at night—you can hear them all the way from North Beach to Russian Hill.
Indulge in a Classic California Burger

Again, if you've never been to California, you have to go to In-N-Out. It's a rite of passage. In-N-Out is the west coast's older, more-established Shake Shack (which now has locations in both Palo Alto and Marin County's Larkspur) and we will gladly wait in line for the fries that are both crispy and slender, shakes that are just the right amount of creamy, and those delicious burgers with the crispest lettuce and the softest buns. The good news is that the line moves fast and the burgers are always made fresh. If you're feeling extra adventurous, order "animal fries" off the secret menu or go "protein" style on your burger and replace the buns with lettuce. Remember, this is your time for indulgence.
Relax at Aquatic Park
The perfect break from the hustle and bustle of Fisherman's Wharf is but a few blocks away. Aquatic Park is home to a beautiful, protected cove you'll see locals swimming laps in the waters (the local Dolphin Swimming Club makes its home there) with views of Angel Island, Tiburon, and of course, the Golden Gate beyond. It's a great place to just soak in the view and maybe even watch the sunset later in the day. Don't forget to swing into the Maritime Museum for a history lesson on San Francisco's ports.
Head to the Bar at Gary Danko
Gary Danko restaurant is one of the country's hottest tickets, which usually means it's impossible to get a table (unless you're really good at scheduling things months ahead). But here's a local hack: sit at the bar. You can still order off the eatery's exceptional menu and enjoy a glass of wine or champagne while socializing with the bartender. This way you get an unforgettable experience but without any pre-planning or excessive wait.
Sip Irish Coffees at Buena Vista Cafe
Summer Park/Flickr
The bar is sure to be three rows deep on a busy day, but sipping an Irish Coffee at the more-than-century old place that first brought it to the U.S. is a quintessential SF experience, and one that's a big cut above any souvenir shop or Wharf wax museum. Served frothy, hot, and delicious, Irish coffee imbibing is easy, so try and drink slow. The Powell/Hyde Cable Car turnaround is just outside, making the whole experience as San Francisco as they come.

Q: Implementation of checked and unchecked exceptions This is not a question what they are, but how they are implemented internally. How does compiler distinguish between checked exceptions (for example derived directly from Exception except RuntimeException) and those unchecked (for example derived from RuntimeException). Are there some special flags in exception class definitions which say what exceptions must be put in try/catch blocks or is there some specific rule in Java compiler (for example Java language design explicitly specifies the type of exceptions which are checked or not)?

A: This is enforced by the Java compiler, and also double-checked at runtime: if a Throwable extends RuntimeException or Error, then it is deemed unchecked; all others are checked.
At runtime, this check is also enforced (remember, you can theoretically "build" Java classes at runtime).

A: All unchecked exceptions are successors from the class RuntimeException or the class Error. All others are checked.
Using reflection, for example,  you can always detect which class is a superclass for this specific class of the current exception. This is the same way how Java compiler detects their types.

"Reassuring & professional care of a high..."
Staff were courteous, friendly and professional. I was seen promptly and felt I was in very good hands. I was impressed by the thoroughness of treatment.
As treatment passed from hand to hand there was some waiting time. It was however early evening and quite busy. As it happened, time was what helped me recover, so it worked well.
I arrived by ambulance, having fallen almost unconscious on the street. I was seen very promptly and, feeling so ill, was much reassured by the manner in which I treated. I'd been worried about falling ill in central London rather than at home in Merseyside; I needn't have worried. This hospital has wonderful nurses and doctors.


Discussion in 'iMac' started by fleawannabe, Dec 21, 2011.
I have a late 2007 Aluminum iMac that had 1gb of RAM.
I received my RAM today and when I installed the two 2gb sticks from crucial my fans came on immediately upon start up. So I did some switching out of the sticks and came to the conclusion that one of the sticks will work in both slots without the fan coming on immediately. The other stick will only work in slot two, if I put that stick in slot one the fan comes on immediately. So i have the two sticks in now and the fan is not running crazy, it seems normal. But was my experience normal? How do I know my fan will come on when It needs to? Where do I look in my mac to see what the the fan is doing and what the temp is?
I checked my about this mac and the mac is reading the RAM and the status says ok.
Try resetting the SMC. iStat Pro will track your temps and fan speeds, among other things.
the link for resetting the smc is not working...what does that do?
Resetting the SMC can correct fans spinning up without increased heat. The link is good, try again. You might try clearing your browser's cache and cookies.
Ok ill try again later. And I havent had much time to mess around with the mac since I upgraged the RAM but I still get a beach ball for a second when I first come to this forum and go to login in. Is that normal or expected?

Bed rail entrapment is not a rare occurrence in the hospital and nursing home setting. Despite repeated warnings from consumer groups and the FDA, nursing facilities across the country are using hospital beds that violate well known FDA dimensional guideline addressing safe hospital beds and bed rails, creating in increased risk of suffocation and asphyxia.
The FDA has identified seven zones of entrapment, and made recommendations as to the acceptable dimensions of those zones to avoid entrapment hazards. Walton Law Firm LLP recently handled the case of an elderly woman who was found dead sitting on the floor next to her bed with her head wedged between the bars of her bed rail. She was literally hanging from the bed rail. The firm brought a lawsuit against the facility and the bed rail manufacturer for violations of FDA guidelines and other acts of negligence.

Partnering for Accountability: Nothing About Us Without Us
By Chibuike Alagboso
Solving many of the challenges in health is a complex process and nobody can claim to have a silver bullet for any one problem. It requires gaining a good contextual understanding of a problem and those it affects, coming up with a possible solution, testing and implementing the solution and scaling up if it works. If it doesn't work, then it's time to go back to the drawing board to repeat the process, armed with evidence of what didn't work the first time and why. This strategy has been adopted in global development efforts to solve some of the world's toughest problems including maternal and new-born deaths before, during and after pregnancy. One key element of this approach is the opportunity it provides for constant learning and trying out new ways when the existing solutions are not giving desired results.
When it comes to tackling maternal and child health issues, most interventions either externally design and implement, or replicate a programme that has worked elsewhere. But designing or replicating programmes in this way is often not enough. It is becoming increasingly necessary to create solutions with a human-centered design approach as it takes into account the perspective of the end user at the inception of the intervention, also taking into account the local contexts, putting some level of ownership into the hands of the people in need of the intervention. It helps create a system where the community can hold people and institutions accountable and empowers them to demand for action when they aren't seeing any.
This message emerged clearly at the two-day conference in Kigali organised in 2018 by the Sustainable Development Goals Centre for Africa. The conference identified the need to build and strengthen accountability in African health systems and the importance of focusing accountability mechanisms on the citizens as essential to improving health outcomes in Africa. To achieve this, it is critical to listen to communities demands for quality care and leverage the media to strengthen accountability.

Partnering for Accountability
This approach is reflected in the activities of the Accountability Mechanism on Maternal Newborn and Child Health in Kano State (AMMKaS) which aims to facilitate citizen participation in governance. As a multi-stakeholder partnership, it includes Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), media, government and professional bodies who promote innovative accountability and transparency in Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) initiatives in the state.
Apart from using strategic advocacy efforts to engage political actors in order to influence transparent spending and timely release of finances for health in the state, the partnership aims to generate evidence to influence decision making at the policy level. It also organises a quarterly interactive forum called Open Kano State Ministry of Health (#OpenKNSMoH) that brings together key organisations and individuals in the sector for regular performance reviews and action.
But AMMKaS didn't start off working in partnership with the government, explains Hajiya Hafsat Kolo, its Co-Chair. Previously called the Partnership for Promotion of Maternal and Child Health (PFPMCH), it was established over 18 years ago. Their work gained prominence when they started pushing for a bill to provide free healthcare for women and children under five years in 2011.
"Kano State has always been giving free maternal care to women from conception to six months after delivery and to children under five. We wanted this to become a law in the state," Hajiya Kolo said. One of their greatest challenges was getting government participation and reliable information. This changed in 2013 when the Commission on Information and Accountability (CoIA) recommended they expand their membership to involve government officials.
Now, Liti Gwarzo Abdullahi, the Director of Planning, Research and Statistics (DPRS) at the Kano State Ministry of Health (KSMoH) serves as the second Co-Chair and this has turned out to be a game changer for their work to improve maternal, newborn and child health in the state. The synergy has rubbed off significantly on other areas especially increasing budgetary allocation for health.
Sitting in his dimly lit office on the third floor of the Ministry's building located along Post office road, Gwarzo, he highlighted some of the ways the partnership has advanced maternal health in the state. AMMKaS' inputs into the government's health agenda is highly valued and since government officials cannot directly be involved with advocacy activities, the CSOs are able to go the extra mile. But most importantly, Gwarzo said the transparency created by their involvement in the efforts of the accountability mechanism has helped keep the government officials in check.
Making Accountability Work
Even though AMMKaS has been successful with its goals, it hasn't always been easy. While they have worked within the limits of their capacities, Hajiya Rakana Umma said when the Maternal Newborn and Child Health 2 (MNCH2) project came on board, it helped strengthen AMMKaS' work by synergising all their activities. Umma is the Kano State Accountability Coordinator for the MNCH2 project, a five-year, country-led UK Government funded project to improve maternal health outcomes across six northern states.
Hajiya Kolo excitedly explained how the system works. The MNCH2 project set up State Level Accountability Mechanisms (SLAMs) in all the states where interventions were being carried out. The SLAM is a collaboration between community members, CSOs, professionals, community leaders and the media to improve MNCH and other health issues in the state. This helps to provide independent expertise, document community voices on MNCH issues and needs, and champion linkages with other government agencies to improve coordination and MNCH outcomes.
AMMKaS has two co-chairs, Liti Gwarzo Abdullahi representing the government and Hajiya Hafsat Kolo representing civil society organisations. Photo credit: Nigeria Health Watch
The SLAM has three sub-committees; The evidence sub-committee, which includes community leaders and gathers evidence, the advocacy sub-committee which includes professionals and CSO representatives, and ensures that action is taken based on evidence already gathered, and the knowledge sub-committee which ensures that information is documented and disseminated.
Where accountability structures already existed in the state, the MNCH2 project focused on strengthening them. The structure is also intentional in the way it works with community members and leaders. Community representatives are identified to directly interface with people in the community to get a sense of their problems. Each health facility has a Friends of the Hospital Committee (FHC) which focuses on service delivery at health centres. Their findings are channelled to the larger accountability sub-committee for further action.
Hajia Kolo adds that the group works closely with the Kano Emirate Council on Health and Nutrition, set up by the Emir of Kano, and this has also contributed significantly to their advocacy efforts.
Reaping the Benefits of AMMKaS
Hajiya Kolo believes that AMMKaS has created a conducive atmosphere for work and collaboration between the CSOs and the state government. She says the benefits of the partnership have grown to include the involvement of AMMKaS on boards of major agencies operating in the state. In 2018, they were instrumental to increasing the amount budgeted for health from 12.1% to 13.1% after a series of advocacy meetings with the State House of Assembly members. The Private Health Institutions Management Agency that helps streamline the activities of private practitioners in the state, the Kano State Ultramodern Specialist Hospital (KUSH) and the Kano State Health Insurance Agency (KSHIA) are some of the institutions where AMMKaS members play strategic roles as either board members or advisory duties. Others are the Kano Health Trust Fund and the newly inaugurated committee for implementing the Basic Health Care Provision Fund.

More than just a Cliché
The term "Nothing about us without us" is often used to show that communities should be involved in programs aimed at benefiting them. Effective accountability systems create benefits for everyone involved, but it begins by involving communities, letting them take ownership, and holding their benefactors and partners accountable. This helps ensure sustainability of any community initiative, but also helps keep everyone in check because while AMMKaS holds the government accountable, its members have to be accountable to the people they represent.
The World Health Organization (WHO) describes accountability as a relationship between a duty holder and a person or organisation to whom a duty is owed. An important element is the capacity to impose a sanction if a duty holder fails to deliver, or if their performance is poor. In the case of AMMKaS there is no system to sanction duty holders, and so this sanction almost never happens, which means the absence of consequences can give room for non-performance.
Kano State has been able to increase budgetary allocation for health and even surpassed the Abuja Declaration (A 2001 commitment by the African Union countries to allocate at least 15% of their annual budget for healthcare) by budgeting 15.24% of the 2019 budget for health. However, release of the budgeted funds has not been as effective. The MNCH2 Kano State Team Lead, Dayyabu Yusuf, described the process of tracking budget releases and spending as "not as straightforward as we think" because there are expenses made for the health sector that are not handled by the Ministry of Health. They have had to rely on the audited accounts of the state to effectively track expenditures for the health sector.

This makes it more important for the CSOs and government to work in partnership with accountability systems because government representatives can provide valuable information for precise and efficient advocacy for funds release after budgeting. "You can pass budget, you can increase it to whatever percent but the advocacy to release is the most important. This is the reason why the two co-chairs representing CSO and government work hand in hand. We provide them with information and point them to where exactly they need to go," says Abduallahi, the AMMKaS Co-Chair representing the Kano State government in the partnership.
Despite its challenges, it appears that AMMKaS is making progress in its goal of strengthening accountability in maternal and child health in Kano State.
Are you from Kano State? Were you aware of AMMKaS and its work? Do you know of other interesting initiatives to strengthen accountability in health? Do you have any ideas for how we can better hold elected officials, the government, CSOs and donors to account? We would love to hear from you.

The Native American Activist who approached a group of Catholic School students and loudly banged his drum has been outed as a man with a violent criminal record. He also escaped from jail as a teenager.
Phillips has a radical past and has been known to go overboard in his protesting. The night before the incident with the Catholic students, he caused a scene at a Catholic church in D.C.
The Catholic News Agency reported that the night before the incident with the students, Phillips and his group of leftist agitators were stopped by security from entering the Washington D.C Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception to disrupt the evening mass. A security guard later said it was a "tense" standoff with the group.
Phillips has a criminal past and has also misrepresented his military service.
When he was a teenager, Phillips was arrested and jailed numerous times. He was charged with assault and escaped from jail in his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska. He was also arrested on several alcohol-related charges.
He was in trouble numerous times in the '70s for negligent driving, destruction of property, assault, driving without a license.
Phillips has also misrepresented his military service many times with different stories of what his role was in Vietnam. He never saw combat in Vietnam and was never deployed. He was a refrigerator technician for the Marines.
The Lakota People's Law Project, some of whose members were on the Indigenous Peoples' March with Phillips and later encountered the Covington students who had taken part in the March for Life, had described Phillips as a Vietnam veteran.
That was incorrect, but Phillips himself appeared not to have claimed he was in Vietnam, repeatedly describing himself in interviews as a "Vietnam times veteran." In 2000, however, he described himself to the Washington Post as having been "a Marine Corps infantryman," without mentioning that for the vast majority of his service he had been a refrigerator technician.
Phillips continues to criticize the Covington students by claiming they weren't acting right. He also says that he won't meet with the students because they "stole his narrative".
Those who have seen the full video know the kids were acting right and it was Phillips who wasn't behaving like a responsible adult by taunting the students.

June 15, 2015 |Departmentalism, Judicial Supremacy, Originalism
Paulsen on Departmentalism versus Judicial Supremacy
I have started a series of posts on the departmentalism – judicial supremacy debate in an effort to explain my position, which inclines towards, but does not go all the way towards judicial supremacy. But I am going to interrupt that planned series to briefly respond to a post written by my former Yale Law School classmate and OLC colleague Mike Paulsen. Mike sets up a "horrible hypothetical" – one that involves a horrible situation – involving an awful law that prohibits speech that the First Amendment protects, punishes its violation with torture that violates the Eighth Amendment, and unconstitutionally prohibits the President from pardoning the persons convicted. (It also violates other clauses as well.) The Supreme Court then upholds the constitutionality of the law as to an individual. Mike asks, among other things, whether the President is constitutionally obligated to enforce the law.
Legally, the answer would seem to be clear. The courts, with Supreme Court review, have issued a judgment that requires the torturous punishment and prohibits pardons. But Mike's horrible hypothetical appears designed to make us resist this conclusion – it is just such a horrible decision and outcome! But there are several reasons that allow us to easily avoid the pull of this hypothetical.
First, the situation Mike envisions is extremely unlikely. There is a wide consensus these days that the law would be unconstitutional. It would not be enacted into law by both houses of Congress and the President. And it would not be approved by the courts, including the Supreme Court.
A law professor can always come up with unrealistic, horrible hypotheticals. We should answer them, but we should also eschew their emotional pull when they are unrealistic. Mike is a believer in a broad Commerce Clause. I could imagine hateful and horrible laws that Congress might enact that Mike would presumably believe were constitutional. That does not make his reading of the Commerce Clause wrong (although I do believe in a much narrower reading of the Clause than he does on other grounds).
More to the point, one can easily change the hypothetical so that it pulls in the opposite direction. Suppose that the President asserts the right to summarily execute people who criticize the government. The executive arrests an individual, who successful seeks a writ of habeas corpus in the courts. The President then refuses to follow the writ, claiming it is unconstitutional, and executes the person. Pretty horrible as well – and one could easily add all kinds of wrinkles to make it worse.
Second, whatever one thinks about the First Amendment and Eighth Amendment violations, the violation of the Pardon Power is absolutely clear. It is inconceivable that the courts would approve of this. And if the Pardon Power were allowed, then the President has an easy response to the problem: he pardons the person who has been convicted.
Third, the hypothetical is problematic because it neglects the essentials of the rule of law. The law, especially when it appropriately consists of rules, will sometimes lead to bad results. That is the price we pay for the constraining of discretion that is essential to tolerable government. The trick is to have rules and procedures that minimize the extent to which there are bad results.
The original meaning of the U.S. Constitution, as amended, does a good job of minimizing those bad results. Mike has to come up with such an unrealistic hypothetical because our system would guard against this problem. If one wants to make this type of argument – and it is not clear that such arguments are relevant to the original meaning – one needs to look at the overall consequences from the two competing interpretations. And I am confident that we are safer with the checks from the courts than from the unilateral actions of a president.
Finally, let's suppose that the law does get passed and approved. What should the President do? Even though he has a legal obligation to enforce it, I would argue that he should not do so. The law is an important value, but not the only the value and not always the highest value. The President could announce that he is going to pardon the individual, that he regards the law as seriously unconstitutional, and that the Congress can judge him as they will in any impeachment proceeding that they might decide to bring.

Forming a sort of family in an environment where everyone (American soldiers and Japanese yakuza) is a potential antagonist, the girls cajole each other, and ruthlessly punish any of their group who violate the cardinal rule—no having sex for free. A new girl, Maya (Yumiko Nogawa), joins their group and learns the trade. An ex-soldier, Shintaro Ibuki (Joe Shishido), is shot nearby and holes up with the girls. Each of them starts to crave Ibuki, placing strains on the group. Maya feels it worse, seeing him as replacement for her brother (who died in Borneo). She takes him after a night of drunken revelry, and both are ostracized. Agreeing to run away together, he is shot in a double-cross, and she is left as she was at the beginning of the film—alone and hopeless.

Tethering your mobile phone is one smart way to access the Internet. In this article, we would learn how to tether your android phone.
Accessing the Internet while you are on the go may not be possible at all places. There are situations where you may require to go online, but without any Wi-Fi hotspot around, you are helpless. So in such cases, tethering your cell phone may seem to be a smart way out. In the following section, I have put down some easy tips on getting your Android phone tethered when you are left with no other means to access the Internet.
What Is The Best Way to Tether Android?
Although people have come up with multiple methods of tethering Android phone, what I found to be the best and safest approach was using the Android application called PdaNet. Most users found its use to be the easiest and less time-consuming.
Step # 1: First of all, visit the Android store and install the application called PdaNet on your phone. This application is known to be the fastest tethering-software for Android phones.
Step # 2: You would also have to download the PdaNet PC program on the computer you wish to use for tethering your phone. You would be provided with options for Windows and Mac; choose accordingly. Once the download is over, run the program as prompted, and follow the instructions.
Go to Settings ---> Applications ---> Development.
Once you are in the Development tab, you would see USB Debugging as one of the options. Check the box against it and click 'OK' to confirm.
Step # 4: Now you are all set to tether your phone. Connect the phone to your PC, and simply run the PdaNet application on your phone. Thereafter, select Enable USB Tether.
Step # 5: Go back to your PC, find the PdaNet icon (usually stays in your system tray), right-click on it and select Connect. Voila! You are good to go now!
While the application, PdaNet can be downloaded for free, the free version limits the user to access secure websites. The paid version costs $30.
Experts recommend to turn off the USB Debugging function under the Development tab, after the user is done with tethering.
Apart from the tethering method cited above, there are two more ways of doing so. While these methods incur no cost at all, their usage involves heavy configuration, and is apparently not for novices.
# One method is about turning the phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot. This requires the help of the application called Android Wi-Fi Tether. This method also involves what is known as rooting. Rooting means gaining access to services that manufacturers or sometimes carriers impose on the device. For the Wi-Fi Tether to work, your phone must be rooted. The possible risk in performing this operation is you making a mess out of your phone if the rooting goes wrong. This method is not recommended for all users, and is only meant for those who are savvy enough to perform some heavy configuration on their Android phones.
# Another method is making use of Proxoid which when used, turns your phone into a proxy server thus, making it usable for tethering. This technique does not involve rooting your Android phone, but it does demand the knowledge of working around command lines and proxy server. Also, installing Proxoid alone is not enough as, to make it operational, you would also have to install Android SDK. Not to forget, you would have to make certain changes in your PC too.
So far, the use of the PdaNet Android application has proven to be the best Android tethering method. And this is evident from its download of over 4 million times. Furthermore, it is known to handle a download speed of well above 35Mbps.

How Farnborough helped Bahrain achieve success at BIAS
Tags: Bahrain, Bahrain Airshow, Bahrain Airshow 2022, Farnborough International, Gareth Rogers
Close collaboration between industry and government helped deliver a hugely successful Bahrain International Airshow last month, said Gareth Rogers, CEO at Farnborough International.
Speaking from the event, Rogers said: "They approached us with an idea of bringing an international air show and wanted to use the Farnborough know how, the Farnborough knowledge, and we worked with the Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications.
"We're constantly in touch with each other, we deliver some of the operational aspects of the show, but actually we help them with the strategic aspects of the show.
"It's a real collaboration between the two sides. And we're delighted to continue that partnership."
Deal done and partnerships agreed
The show offered a platform for business and connections for the global leaders of the aviation and aerospace industry in Bahrain.
Deals were done, airline partnerships signed and innovation showcased.
Rogers added: "It's been a real success, we've been away for four years, it's been a very, very difficult time for the whole aerospace industry.
"But [this is] another opportunity to come back together here in the Middle East, a real focal point of the Middle East. And we're just delighted to be able to help Bahrain deliver the airshow, so it's been a real success."

New report by PSI, IEEP, BIO and Ecologic provides an initial scoping assessment of priorities and policy options to support the transition to a circular economy in the EU.
This report considers how environmental policy in the EU effects the UK and looks at some alternatives. Overall the impact within the environmental domain can be judged to be strongly positive to the UK. The action taken has been well balanced, with benefits for human health and welfare and the sustainability of the economy as well as the environment itself.
Using wastes and residues for biofuels has many advantages. But ensuring sustainability and including safeguards in EU legislation are critical issues.
The EU needs to make a big push to secure better compliance with existing waste law. Non-implementation of EU waste law endangers human health and the environment, distorts competition, and is estimated to cost a total of €90 billion a year.
Waste management in the EU is improving, but implementation by the Member States of EU waste legislation remains patchy. This paper makes suggestions on how better compliance could be achieved.
This report investigates a range of economic instruments in place in the EU Member States to improve waste management. It focuses on disposal taxes, pay-as-you-throw systems and producer responsibility schemes, and attempts to assess their contribution to waste management performance.
This report supported the European Commission's review of the Thematic Strategy on the Prevention and Recycling of Waste. It summarises available data on waste management in the EU, assesses progress towards the EU becoming a 'recycling society', outlines the achievements of the Waste Thematic Strategy, and makes recommendations for the development of future EU waste policies.

Q: CCArray enumerator object As far as I know it doesn't exist.
    CCArray *array = CCArray::create();
    CCArrayEnumerator *enumerator = array->createEnumerator();
    ...

    CCObject *nextObjectOrNull = enumerator->nextObject();
    CCObject *currentObjectOrNull = enumerator->peekCurrentObject();

This class would make my code simpler, and if no one coded it, I will do it no time. But I haven't found any requests or forum posts about the need for this class. Which is strange.

A: You can write your own code but there is already a macro which can be used for same.
Here is pseudo code:
CCArray *array = this->getChildren();

CCObject* currentObject = NULL;
CCARRAY_FOREACH(array , currentObject )
{
    CCNode *node = (CCNode*)currentObject;
}

A: I wrote a simple class, which does the job. Suggestions are welcome.
CCArrayEnumerator.h:
#include "cocos2d.h"

class CCArrayEnumerator : public cocos2d::CCObject{

public:
    static CCArrayEnumerator* create(cocos2d::CCArray* array);
    cocos2d::CCObject* nextObject();
    cocos2d::CCObject* peekCurrentObject();
private:
    cocos2d::CCArray* _array;
    CCArrayEnumerator();
    ~CCArrayEnumerator();
    virtual bool init(cocos2d::CCArray* array);

    int _currentIndex;

    CCArrayEnumerator *pRet = new CCArrayEnumerator();
    if (pRet && pRet->init(array))
    {
        pRet->autorelease();
        return pRet;
    }
    else
    {
        CC_SAFE_DELETE(pRet);
        return NULL;
    }
}

    cocos2d::CCObject* CCArrayEnumerator::nextObject(){
    CCObject *retval = NULL;

    if(_array->count() > _currentIndex + 1){
        _currentIndex++;
        retval = _array->objectAtIndex(_currentIndex);
    }

    return retval;
}

cocos2d::CCObject* CCArrayEnumerator::peekCurrentObject(){
    CCObject *retval = NULL;

    if(_currentIndex != -1 && _array->count() > _currentIndex){

Rams Wire
4 keys to victory for Rams against Seahawks
Cameron DaSilva
December 21, 2021, 12:04 PM ·4 min read
After more than a week of sorting through COVID-19 tests and dealing with absences of several key players during practice, the Rams are finally set to face the Seahawks on Tuesday night – a game that was originally scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The Rams are just a half-game out of first place in the NFC West after the Cardinals lost to the Lions, giving them a chance to tie Arizona with a win over the Seahawks. Every game down the stretch is pivotal for the Rams, but this one is especially important because it's a divisional game.
Here are four keys to victory for Los Angeles at home tonight.
Limit big plays by Seahawks
The Seahawks have a knack for creating big plays, both through the air and on the ground. This season, they're tied for fourth with 11 plays of 40-plus yards, with nine being passes and two being runs. The Rams lead the league with 16 such plays, but they've also given up 11 plays of 40-plus yards – which is tied for the third-most.
There's no doubt the Rams are the better team in this one but the easiest way for a bad team to pull off an upset is by creating big plays (and turnovers). If the Rams allow Seattle to pick up chunk gains with deep passes or long runs, the Seahawks won't go quietly.
In three of the Rams' four losses this season, they allowed at least one play of 40-plus yards. Keeping Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett – if he's available – in check by eliminating plays over the top is critical.
Turn yards into points
The Seahawks defense is not very good, but it does excel in one area: the red zone. It's why they've allowed the most yards in the NFL, but also rank fourth in points allowed. Seattle only allows touchdowns on 49% of opponents' red zone trips, good for fourth in the NFL.
The Rams shouldn't have much trouble moving the ball on offense but if they get into the red zone and stall out, settling for field goals, this game will stay competitive and give the Seahawks a chance to pull off the upset. The Rams can't come away empty-handed or with three points on drives that go 50-70 yards. They must convert yards into touchdowns and force the Seahawks to play catch-up throughout the night.
Avoid costly penalties and turnovers
During the Rams' three-game losing streak, they turned the ball over multiple times in each game, totaling seven giveaways in that stretch. They were also uncharacteristically undisciplined against the Titans when they committed 12 penalties for 115 yards.
Turnovers and penalties will keep the Seahawks in this game by giving them short fields and either extending their drives with defensive penalties or killing the Rams' own possessions with penalties on offense.
The Rams have to be disciplined and not beat themselves because the Seahawks aren't exactly equipped to win this game very easily. Matthew Stafford must take care of the football, the offensive line can't commit holding penalties and pre-snap infractions and the defense has to avoid personal fouls, which have cost the Rams a few times this season.
Don't force the run for the sake of balance
Being balanced on offense is great. Running the ball for the sake of being balanced is not. No one is going to confuse the Seahawks with the Buccaneers when it comes to their run defense or front seven, but this isn't an easy team to run the ball against. They're allowing only 3.8 yards per carry, which is the best in the NFL despite teams running the ball 400 times in only 13 games.
The Seahawks rank eighth in run defense DVOA, so it's been tough sledding for teams that try to pound the ball on the ground against Seattle. The Rams shouldn't fall into that trap.
Seattle is much more susceptible to the pass, ranking 25th in net yards per attempt allowed and giving up the most passing yards in the NFL. The best way for the Rams to win this game is by throwing the ball and complementing it with the run, not the other way around.
Millsap has played in one game in January and is out of the rotation.

Darrell comes from chicken money. His… father was a noted chicken magnate.
Well, he drove to Texas first. Uhm… it should go without saying. I guess.
That's where… he was born.
Oh, and we're in Mississippi.
I had given up. This was some weeks later, and I had given up the idea that he would really show.
Tex waved at our cat Big Boy and the cat hissed at him, which… confirmed my mother's story that—or at least gave credence to it—that Big Boy once, as she put it, "growled" at her. When my mother was here for a visit.
Tex and I watched Barry Lyndon.
So I… shuttled backward, and we… and I didn't go far enough, and then I let the movie play, and he said, "Wait, aren't you going to rewind it?" And—'cause he really wanted to prove that Barry Lyndon had farted.
Well, you know, Barry… Redmond Barry is… is, uh, diddling around with a young wife of an elderly, uh… nobleman. And the elderly nobleman clutches at his chest and grabs for his… pills, which… ping… pong [laughter]—which scatter and clatter across the card table. And Tex thought it was because Barry Lyndon subtly farted at him as he left the room, as a final insult in their… tense conversation.
And there was some sort of noise! You know, it might have been the leg of a chair scraping on the floor as the elderly gentleman began his histrionic seizure. I mean I never once thought it was Barry Lyndon farting, but… I must say Tex half-convinced me with his argument.
I believe it would've been a little more obvious, had that been Kubrick's intention. He was not one to let details go slack.
Anastasia's friend Darrell is often out of town, and he has a looming, imposing Victorian… I call it a mansion. I think it's a mansion. You know, I didn't grow up in a… in circumstances of luxury, so, you know, uhm, any big house, I tend to call it a mansion. Well, it's a big, looming Victorian structure.
Tex and I went to check it out the other day and… I mean I'd been there once before.
I'm telling the… I'm recording about Tex!
Darrell comes from chicken money. His… father was a noted chicken magnate. [Sniff.] And he kindly, errr, Anastasia texted… Tex was planning to sleep on our couch.
And, uh, I've always said that place felt spooky. The one time I visited, I felt there was something weird about it. And, uh… Tex went over there after Barry Lyndon. We had the ringer off, so we, we didn't know that he called, but he called to say that he got scared. [Laughter.] He got scared because it was dark… the whole house was very dark and there was a car in the driveway, which I had noticed when we went to check it out earlier in the day. But, you know, apparently Tex had forgotten there was a car in the driveway. And he thought, "Is somebody in here?" And he… opened the door and noticed that the mail, which we had seen lying on the floor earlier, under the mail slot… that was gone.
He looked in the sink, the kitchen sink, and there seemed to be something in the sink that hadn't been there before. So he… his heart was racing, he said. And he ran out the door and got in his car and went to a hotel.
We believe it was, uh… Darrell's property manager, who had come to fix the sink, apparently. Anastasia was texting with Darrell and getting the scoop on all this.
And what she didn't tell Tex is that Darrell texted superfluously that, "Oh, when Sheriff…" Who was it? Sheriff Davis?
AUTHOR: "When Sheriff Davis blew his brains out in the backyard…" When was that?
ANASTASIA: In the seventies. That's what Darrell said.
AUTHOR: In the seventies. So. [Throat noise. Pause.] Somewhere along the way, Tex and I got the notion we wanted to buy a Ouija board while, while he was in town but now I—I'm very much against it. [Laughter.] I don't wanna go over there where the sheriff blew his brains out and start fiddling around.
This way to episode 16.


Home Minister Rajnath Singh also questioned various organisations who are objecting to the deportation of Rohingyas.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh today reiterated that Rohingya Muslims living in India are not refugees but illegal immigrants from Myanmar, and that objections to deport them are baseless since Myanmar has expressed its willingness to take them back.
"They have not come here after following proper procedures. No Rohingya has applied for asylum. They are illegal immigrants," said the minister of the nearly 40,000 people who the Centre has said it will remove from India, provoking international criticism.
The home minister also questioned various organisations who are objecting to the deportation of Rohingyas. "When Myanmar is ready to accept them. I don't know what the objection is," he said.
On Monday, the Centre told the Supreme Court that it will confidentially share intelligence information with judges showing Rohingya links with Pakistan-based terrorists.
The Supreme Court is deciding an appeal lodged on behalf of Rohingya against the deportation plan. The top agency for women and children's rights in Bengal has separately urged the Supreme Court not to allow their deportation.
But the Home Ministry has submitted written details in the court arguing that the hardline stance is justified by the security threat posed by illegal immigrant Rohingya, hundreds of thousands of whom have fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh, from where many have crossed into India.
The Rohingya are denied citizenship in Buddhist-majority Myanmar and regarded as illegal immigrants, despite claiming roots that date back centuries.
The Home Ministry said the illegal influx of large numbers of Rohingya into India began four to five years ago, long before an exodus that saw more than 4,00,000 Rohingya flee to Bangladesh since August to escape a Myanmar military counter-insurgency offensive that the United Nations has called "ethnic cleansing".
The court will next hear the matter on October 3.
The government told judges it has received information on Rohingya involvement in plots by ISIS and other "extremist groups" to ignite communal and sectarian violence in India.
Senior Home Ministry official Mukesh Mittal said the government will privately show the court material gathered from "sensitive investigations" to substantiate the claims in its affidavit.

1872: Serious Illness
November and December
HCA is very ill. The royal family follow his condition closely, frequently sending greetings and making inquiries, and Crown Prince Frederik visits him. HCA is highly unbalanced during this period of time and feels he is on the brink of insanity.
HCA's assets amount to 21,000 rdl., of which 15,800 are in a bank account. Yearly interest amounts to 765 rdl.
Meer end Perler og Guld (More Than Pearls and Gold) is staged at the Casino theatre for the 100th time. This is celebrated with a prologue dedicated to HCA, and the prologue "brings the house down". It is printed on the following day in the newspaper Dagens Nyheter. HCA had not felt well enough to go and see the performance, but his doctor, Professor Emil Hornemann, advised him to go along instead of sitting at home and wallowing in self-pity. HCA's young friend William Bloch accompanies him.

HCA is once more up and about after the period of serious illness. The Melchiors make sure there is a Christmas tree in HCA's apartment in Nyhavn, and they and William Bloch see to it that he has;
"...a lovely Christmas Eve, really, one I had not expected at all"
(the diary).
Across the nation, newspapers have zealously reported on his illness.
