Nebraska has 93 counties and occupies the central portion of the Frontier Strip. Nebraska is composed of two major land regions: the Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains. The easternmost portion of the state was scoured by Ice Age glaciers; the Dissected Till Plains were left behind after the glaciers retreated. The Dissected Till Plains is a region of gently rolling hills; Omaha and Lincoln are located within this region.

Next Outline
The peace treaty that ended the French and Indian War in 1763 eliminated New France as a military threat to the British colonists, and marked the start of the march toward American independence. The war effort, and British Prime Minister William Pitt's decision to retain large numbers of troops in the American colonies after the conflict, doubled Great Britain's national debt.
In an effort to raise revenues, Parliament enforced the Navigation Acts, which listed specific commodities that could be shipped only within the English empire. However, Britain's attempt to make the colonists abide by the shipping regulations generated little revenue due to an increase in smuggling. Pitt's successor, George Grenville, took a different route to force the colonists to pay what he believed was their fair share for the services of the British army stationed in America.
In 1764, Grenville pressed Parliament to pass the Sugar Act—also known as the Revenue Act—that placed tariffs on sugar, wine, coffee, and other items imported by the colonies. The law angered Americans who claimed that Britain had no right to tax them because they had no representation in Parliament. Grenville countered that every member of Parliament represented every member of the British Empire, but the colonists refused to pay the tax, and continued to smuggle goods.
The inadequate funds generated by the Sugar Act forced Grenville and Parliament to enact a Stamp Act that placed taxes on all printed materials, including legal papers, playing cards, and newspapers. No one could sell pamphlets or newspapers or distribute diplomas or licenses without first purchasing special stamps and placing them on the printed material.
Grenville believed that the colonists would accept the tax with little objection since similar taxes were commonplace in England. But Americans considered the Stamp Act to be a direct tax—paid directly to England rather than to their own legislatures—and again challenged Parliament's authority to tax without representation.
The colonists also grew suspicious of the build up of British troops in America, since the colonies finally seemed to be safe. The Proclamation of 1763, which Parliament enacted to prohibit white settlement west of the crest of the Appalachian Mountains, reinforced the fear that the British troops were not stationed in America to protect the colonists. Many Patriots believed that the British government planned to use the soldiers against Americans and suppress their freedom by enforcing the Navigation Acts and collecting taxes.
In October 1765, the Stamp Act Congress, comprised of delegates from nine colonies, petitioned Parliament to repeal the act. Grenville ignored the pleas of the colonists and ordered the tax to be implemented. Resistance to England's attempts to tighten control over the colonies grew violent when organizations, such as the Sons of Liberty, staged riots and vandalized the homes of the stamp distributors. The mobs threatened the safety of the stamp agents and their families and intimidated them into resigning their posts. By the time the new law went into effect, it was unenforceable because there were no stamp distributors left in the colonies to sell the stamps.
Many Americans formed non-importation pacts that drastically cut the amount of goods purchased from England. British merchants, manufacturers, and shippers suffered from the reduced trade and pressured Parliament into repealing the Stamp Act. The colonists lifted their boycott on British goods and celebrated their victory against the Crown. Their jubilation, however, was short-lived.
On the same day Parliament repealed the Stamp Act, it passed the Declaratory Act, which reaffirmed England's authority to pass any law it desired to bind the colonies and people of America. The colonists remained subordinates and the British government pronounced its complete and unqualified sovereignty over its North American colonies.
The Townshend Duties
The repeal of the Stamp Act did not end Britain's plan to tax the colonies. In 1767, Chancellor of the Exchequer Charles Townshend proposed enacting new customs duties on the most popular items imported by the colonies. Parliament approved The Townshend duties (also referred to as the Townshend Revenue Act), which taxed a wide variety of imports, including glass, lead, paints, paper, silk, and tea. Unlike the Stamp Act, the new levy was an indirect tax payable at American ports.
During this period, Parliament also implemented several administrative measures. It created a Board of Customs Commissioners to enforce trade regulations and established vice-admiralty courts to deal with colonists who violated the law. The British government paid the salaries of colonial governors with money collected from the Americans so the wages could not be withheld by colonial assemblies. Parliament decreased the number of British troops in North America and placed the financial responsibility for maintaining the presence of the remaining soldiers solely on the colonists.
Patriot leaders responded to the Townshend duties just as they did when the Stamp Act was announced—they boycotted British goods. This time, however, their efforts to disrupt the British economy did not produce the same results. Many colonists were not concerned with the new tax because it was small and indirect and, through the growing network of smugglers, they were able to find other avenues to get their goods. Samuel Adams, one of the most outspoken proponents of the non-importation pact, encouraged street mobs to involve merchants in the boycott, including those loyal to the Crown.
As conflict in the colonies intensified, Britain transferred two regiments of troops to Boston. The presence of the red-clad British soldiers patrolling the city streets convinced colonists that their liberties were being destroyed and resentment toward England escalated. Fistfights occurred regularly as Americans taunted the redcoats and dared them to fight back. Leaders of both groups realized that one incident could start a devastating riot.
On March 5, 1770, tension between the two forces peaked when a small group of colonists threw snowballs at a British soldier guarding the Custom House. The crowd grew in size as the participants' jeers turned malicious. When the intimidating mob moved closer to the building, the British soldiers panicked and fired into the crowd. Five Bostonians were killed and several more injured. Among the dead was Crispus Attucks, a runaway mulatto slave and one of the primary instigators of the incident.
Colonists referred to the violent confrontation as the "Boston Massacre" and demanded justice. Future president John Adams offered his services as the British soldiers' defense attorney to make sure they received a fair trial. All of the soldiers subsequently were acquitted except for two, who were convicted of manslaughter.
On the very day the Boston Massacre took place, Parliament at the urging of the new prime minister, Lord North, repealed all of the Townshend duties except that on tea. During the next two years, colonists' attempts to enforce the boycott against British goods weakened, and an uneasy truce prevailed between the American Patriots and the British government.
The Boston Tea Party
In 1773, the British East India Tea Company faced bankruptcy. More than 17 million pounds of tea sat idle in warehouses, in part because American boycotts and smuggling damaged the English tea industry. The British government, set to lose a large amount of tax revenue if the company failed, ratified a Tea Act that allowed the company to bypass English and American wholesalers and sell directly to American merchants at reduced prices.
The act undercut American smugglers and angered other colonists who believed the British were using the low prices to trick them into paying the tea duty. Business owners worried that if Parliament could grant the East India Tea Company a monopoly on the colonial market, it could control all American commerce.
The Tea Act renewed the colonists' resentment toward Parliament and prompted them to protest the British regulations. Mobs lined the ports in New York and Philadelphia and refused to allow the crews of the British ships to unload their tea cargo. The governor of New York declared that the tea could be unloaded only "under the protection of the point of the bayonet and muzzle of the cannon."
The citizens of Boston took a different approach to prevent the British ships from landing their cargoes. Massachusetts governor Thomas Hutchinson was determined to force the issue in an effort to exert royal authority over the "rebels." He ordered the three tea ships to remain docked in Boston harbor until their cargoes were unloaded. During the night of December 16, 1773, Samuel Adams and about fifty members of the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Indians and boarded the three ships. Onlookers huddled in groups on the dock and watched the band of colonists dump several hundred chests filled with tea into Boston harbor.
Colonists expressed mixed reactions to their countrymen's defiant actions. Many citizens, such as Boston's own John Adams, cheered the bold gesture; others, including Benjamin Franklin, were shocked at the destruction of private property. The people who condemned the rebellious action in Boston harbor believed that it threatened the existence of a civil society. They also feared that the outburst would bring severe repercussions from Parliament.
British authorities became furious when news of the Boston Tea Party reached London. King George III told Lord North it was time for the colonists to either submit to the Crown or triumph and be left alone. The prime minister was equally determined to test the Americans' mettle and pressed Parliament to pass a series of measures to discipline the "haughty" colonists. The Boston Tea Party effectively stifled any public support in Great Britain for the American position.
In 1774, Parliament enacted four laws, collectively known as the "Coercive Acts," designed to tighten Britain's control over the colonies:
The Boston Port Act closed the city's harbor to all commercial traffic until the East India Company was paid for the destroyed tea.
The Administration of Justice Act, dubbed the "Murder Act" in Massachusetts, transferred legal cases involving royal officials charged with capital crimes to Great Britain, where many colonists believed they would be set free.
The Massachusetts Government Act increased the governor's powers, decreased the authority of the local town meetings, and made elective offices subject to royal appointment.
The Quartering Act, which was applied to all American colonies, required citizens to house British soldiers when other living quarters proved inadequate.
Although not considered part of the Coercive Acts, Parliament at the same time passed the Quebec Act that extended the Canadian border south to include the Ohio River Valley, land that was previously claimed by Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Virginia. Many colonists were convinced that the five laws, which they labeled the Intolerable Acts, directly threatened their liberty.
Lord North considered the colonies separate from each other and directed the Coercive Acts at Massachusetts as punishment for the Boston Tea Party. He assumed that the Americans generally were content to live under British rule and would not object to the restrictions that focused on just one colony. However, he did not realize that many Americans detested Britain's claim to complete authority over the colonies. The Intolerable Acts served to stiffen American Patriot resistance toward Great Britain.

Q: Value of $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n+1)^2-1}$ I've been looking at this for a while, and can't seem to get anywhere. I'm looking to find the sum of $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n+1)^2-1}.$$ I know it's supposed to be $\frac34$, but I don't know how to get there.

A: Write it as $$\sum _{ x=1 }^{ \infty  }{ \frac { 1 }{ { \left( x+1 \right)  }^{ 2 }-1 }  } =\sum _{ x=1 }^{ \infty  }{ \frac { 1 }{ \left( x+1-1 \right) \left( x+1+1 \right)  } =\sum _{ x=1 }^{ \infty  }{ \frac { 1 }{ x\left( x+2 \right)  } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \sum _{ x=1 }^{ \infty  }{ \left( \frac { 1 }{ x } -\frac { 1 }{ x+2 }  \right)  }  }  } \\ $$ which is telescoping series.

A: HINT: $$\frac{1}{(n+1)^2 - 1} = \frac{1}{(n+2)n} = \frac 12 \left(\frac{1}{n} - \frac{1}{n+2}\right)$$

A: Hint: You have $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{(n+1)^2-1}=\sum_{n=2}^\infty\frac{1}{n^2-1} \hspace{0.25in}(\textbf{why?})$$
Now you can use partial fraction decomposition on the right-hand side to reduce the series to a telescopic sum.

A: Hint
We have that
$$\dfrac{1}{(n+1)^2-1}=\frac{1}{2n}-\frac{1}{2n+4}.$$ So
$$\sum_{k=1}^n \dfrac{1}{(k+1)^2-1}= \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{2k}-\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{2k+4}=\frac 12+\frac 14-\frac{1}{2n+2}-\frac{1}{2n+4}.$$

Frederico da Costa, Lisbon
The Order of Prince Henry the Navigator (Ordem do Infante Dom Henrique) was established by the government of Portugal in 2 June 1960 to commemorate the five hundredth anniversary of the death of the Portuguese prince Henry the Navigator. Prince Henry is considered as the main initiator of the Age of Discovery and the maritime expansion of Portugal.
The Order is composed of six grades, i.e., Grand Collar, Grand Cross, Grand Officer, Commander, Officer, and Honorably Member. There is also a Silver Medal and a Gold Medal. The number of members in each grade is restricted; there are fifty Grand Crosses, one hundred Grand Officer, three hundred Commanders, four hundred Officers, and unlimited Knights. The titles are attributed by special decree by the Grand Master of the Order, the President of Portugal.
It is conferred upon nationals or foreigners who have displayed outstanding services to Portugal as well as who have contributed to the development and dissemination of Portuguese culture, history, and values, with a particular focus on its maritime history.
Minor reforms of the constitution of the Order occurred in 1962 and 1980. Membership to the Order is conferred by the President, either on his own initiative, upon the recommendation of his Ministers or following nomination by the Council of the Order.
In order of precedence, it ranks after the Military Order of St. James of the Sword and before the Order of the Liberty; it is a five-tier order.
The motto stands "Talant de bien faire", and it is translated to "Talent to do well".
The Grand Officer Breast Star is identical to the Grand Collar Breast Star and the Grand Cross Breast Star.

Happy Saturday! This morning we woke up early and went for our walk before it got too hot since we are supposed to approach 90 today. It's amazing how quickly it warmed up during those 45 minutes we were out. I decided to use up some of the ripe multi-colored baby tomatoes that I had on the counter by making a simple and delicious Tomato, Onion & Cheddar Omelet for our brunch and served it alongside sauteed sliced Aidell's Chicken Sausages (nitrite/nitrate free). I diced and sauteed a bit of Vidalia onion and sauteed it in olive oil until it was browned and caramelized while I quartered the little tomatoes. I tossed them into the onions and sauteed them for just a few minutes. I have enough cooked tomatoes and onions left for tomorrow's breakfast, too. This meal will easily carry us until dinner time. I snapped a few photos below. I love transforming whatever I have on hand or whatever needs to be used into a delicious and easy meal. I snapped a couple photos below. Enjoy!

Softball's Winning Streak Snapped
NOTRE DAME, Ind.- Despite a strong pitching effort from sophomore Brittney Bargar (Corona, Calif./Corona) and senior Kenya Fuemmeler (Salisbury, Mo./Salisbury), Notre Dame's softball team (19-13, 8-0 BIG EAST) had its 10-game winning-streak snapped in a 2-1 loss to Eastern Michigan (11-15) on Tuesday, April 10. The Irish and Eagles were originally scheduled to play a doubleheader but in a mutual decision between the two coaching staffs only a single game was played. The loss only stopped Notre Dame's 10-game winning-streak at home.
Bargar started for the Irish and went the first four innings with only a hit allowed and three strikeouts. Fuemmeler came on in relief and threw the final three innings allowing both runs on three hits with two strikeouts.
Senior Stephanie Brown (Chandler, Ariz./Corona del Sol) was the bright spot of the offense. The centerfielder launched her first home run of the season deep over the right-field fence in the bottom of the sixth inning to draw the Irish to within a run at 2-1, but that would be as close as Notre Dame could get in the loss.
The Eagles would threaten in the second inning as Jenny Scherer hit a leadoff single and went to second on a sacrifice bunt. A ground out to the Irish hurler moved Scherer to third, but she was stranded there on Lindsay Ritz inning ending strikeout.
The Irish recorded their first hit of the game in the second inning. Freshman Heather Johnson (Los Alamitos, Calif./Mater Dei) ripped a single to center to start the frame. Junior Sarah Smith (Oklahoma City, Okla./Heritage Hall) was inserted as a pinch runner and moved to second on the sacrifice bunt from freshman Christine Lux (Glendale Heights, Ill./Glenbard East). But Smith was stranded at second as a fly out and strikeout ended the inning.
Sophomore Erin Glasco (Johnston City, Ill./Johnston City) smashed a single up the middle to begin the third. Junior Brittany Glynn (Seymour, Conn./St. Joseph's) ran for Glasco and after a foul out was forced out at second on Brown's fielder's choice to third. Brown was caught stealing to end the frame.
The Eagles, after a pitching change in the fifth, broke through for a run. Jessica Grant greeted the new Irish pitcher with a sharp single to center. A sacrifice bunt and ground out advanced her to second and then third. Grant would come in with the first run of the game on Lauren Clark's single up the middle.
Eastern Michigan would add an important insurance run in the sixth inning. Ashley Strauss smashed a double to center to start the troublesome inning. She then smartly stole third on a delayed steal. A Scherer sacrifice fly to left brought home Strauss with the second run of the afternoon.
The Irish would answer with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame on Brown's home run to right field but that was as close they could get in a 2-1 loss.
Next, Notre Dame will continue the busy week with a road trip to conference rival No. 19/16 DePaul (24-7, 8-0 BIG EAST) at 4 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, April 12 in Chicago at Cacciatore Stadium. The game will be a match-up of the only two undefeated teams left in BIG EAST Conference play.
Irish Notes: Notre Dame announced it has rescheduled its Valparaiso game to Thursday, April 19 at 5 p.m. … the 10-game winning-streak was the longest for Notre Dame since March 20, 2005-April 19, 2005 when the team won 19 games in a row …Brown extended her hitting streak to a now season-best nine games.


The federal government has begun a probe into the dealings of the nation's biggest mortgage lender.
The U.S. Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are trying to determine whether Countrywide Financial engaged in securities fraud.
The issue is whether executives at Countrywide provided misleading information about the company's financial situation in security filings. The Wall Street Journal was the first newspaper to break the story.
In an e-mail to the Journal, Countrywide spokeswoman Jumana Bauwens stated, "We are not aware of an investigation being conducted by the FBI." The FBI is reportedly probing more than a dozen other companies as a result of the country's subprime mortgage crisis.
Countrywide is also being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. It's also the target of a class-action lawsuit from pension funds as a result of allegations of securities fraud. Countrywide agreed at the beginning of the year to be taken over by Bank of America for $4 billion.
The company reportedly lost $422 million in the final quarter of 2007. That's more than double projections.
Federal investigators are also looking into allegations of conflicts of interest, accounting fraud, and insider trading at subprime lending institutions. Meanwhile, a number of state prosecutors are also investigating possible wrongdoing by the mortgage industry.
The nation is facing its worst housing crisis in 16 years. The troubles can be attributed to the collapse of the subprime market. Subprime loans are those home loans that are extended to home buyers with shaky credit histories. A number of those loans have resulted in foreclosures, producing a glut of houses in the current real estate market. Industry observers say it will take at least until the middle of 2008 for the housing market to turn around. Some less optimistic predictions say it won't be until 2010 when the housing market will recover.

Q: what is best way to prepare C# objects in separate methods What is better method to use for object preparation logic:
a) with return value
List<Users> users = LoadUsers();
users = PrepareUsers(users);

b) or with void type
List<Users> users = LoadUsers();
PrepareUsers(users)

A: Are you setting properties on existing User objects or are you creating new ones?
If you're simply changing existing objects, then there's no reason why you'd want to return them, it's redundant. Worse, it's misleading - the client will think his objects were left untouched and that you're creating new objects when in fact you're not.
If you're creating new ones, well then, you obviously need to return them.

A: Alternative b. since you are working with the same user objects, there is no reason to reassign the variable.

Q: R- How to reshape Long to Wide with multiple variables/columns I started off with the following subset of my data
UserID labelnospaces             responses
1      Were you given any info?  yes
1      By using this service..?  yes
1      How satisfied are you?    Very satisfied
2      Were you given any info?  no
2      By using this service..?  no
2      How satisfied are you?    unsatisfied

By using the code below, I was able to get from long to wide perfectly
service_L_to_W<- reshape(data=service, idvar="UserID",
                         timevar = "labelnospaces",
                         direction = "wide")

Using the code above, I got (this is what I wanted)
UserID   Were you given any info?   By using this service..?   How satisfied are you?
1        yes                        yes                        very satisfied
2        no                         no                         unsatisfied

My question is how do I edit my code so that I can convert my data (with the extra variables/columns) from long to wide:
UserID Full Name  DOB     EncounterID QuestionID Name  Type  labelnospaces           responses
1      John Smith 1-1-90  13          505        Intro Check Were you given any info?  yes
1      John Smith 1-1-90  13          506        Care  Check By using this service..   yes
1      John Smith 1-1-90  13          507        Out   Check How satisfied are you?    vsat
2      Jane Doe   2-2-80  14          505        Intro Check Were you given any info?  no

2      Jane Doe   2-2-80  14          507        Out   Check How satisfied are you?    unsat

A: Some variables are can be better to together
df %>%
  pivot_wider(id_cols = c(UserID, Full.Name, DOB, EncounterID), names_from = c(QuestionID, QName, labelnospaces), values_from = responses)

  UserID Full.Name  DOB    EncounterID `505_Intro_Were you given any info?` `506_Care_By using this service..`

International Law from Below
Development, Social Movements and Third World Resistance
Author: Balakrishnan Rajagopal, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Paperback, eBook
The emergence of transnational social movements as major actors in international politics - as witnessed in Seattle in 1999 and elsewhere - has sent shockwaves through the international system. Many questions have arisen about the legitimacy, coherence and efficiency of the international order in the light of the challenges posed by social movements. This book offers a fundamental critique of twentieth-century international law from the perspective of Third World social movements. It examines in detail the growth of two key components of modern international law - international institutions and human rights - in the context of changing historical patterns of Third World resistance. Using a historical and interdisciplinary approach, Rajagopal presents compelling evidence challenging debates on the evolution of norms and institutions, the meaning and nature of the Third World as well as the political economy of its involvement in the international system.
Introduces social movements literature in international legal scholarship including in international human rights law and international institutions
Joins critical legal scholarship on international law, and law and development
A major book-length work in a Third World stream of international legal scholarship
'Looking at the concept of democracy and human rights, the author provides a detailed examination of a little discussed perspective on not only development, but also non-Western approaches to international law.' Common Law World Review
'… provides a significant intellectual spark for those in search of critical insight into a somewhat neglected topic of academic discourse. This well written, and exhaustively researched, resource is a must for all teachers and librarians whose role is to ensure completeness of coverage in their respective domains.' American Society of International Law
'Important reading for members of social movements who hopefully will be inspired to create their own narrative about reshaping international law from below.' Voluntas

Chip-Card Processing Delays Could Be Grinch That Steals Christmas
Todd R. Weiss
A year into the use of EMV chip-based credit cards in the United States, fraud against consumers and merchants has dropped 54 percent for merchants who have made the switch, according to payment processor MasterCard.
That's great, but the downside of chip cards—that agonizing 10- to 20-second delay at cash registers equipped with the chip-card readers—has to be fixed. I've found the chip-card delays to be so bad that I predict right now that they will cause havoc this holiday shopping season.
Where I live in Pennsylvania, the chip-card delays at stores like Target, A.C. Moore and Lowe's are so long that I can imagine shoppers in the coming November and December holiday season losing whatever patience they have left and walking out. I can visualize them getting so frustrated waiting in the slowed-down cash register lines that they dump their purchases on store floors and run home to order gifts online.
If that happens, it's going to make losses to fraud seem tiny for store chains that see a key part of their annual revenue and profits come in during the holiday season.
According to MasterCard, as chip cards in the United States mark their one-year anniversary, about 88 percent of MasterCard credit cards have chips, which is up 105 percent from Oct. 1, 2015, when merchants were told they would be liable for fraud if they weren't equipped to handle chip cards. Some 2 million merchant locations are chip-ready, which is up 468 percent in the same period.
MasterCard and other card processing companies say chip cards are critical for business because their integrated chips talk to special terminals and prevent the use of counterfeit cards through the creation of unique codes for purchases. That's great, but that also slows down transactions in many cases.
But hope is in the air.
Recently, I traveled to Las Vegas for the CTIA technology conference and used chip-card terminals at Walgreen's and Welcome to Las Vegas stores that processed my transactions so quickly I couldn't believe it. No 20-second delays, but an almost instantaneous and pleasant experience.
I called MasterCard to find out why all chip card terminals couldn't duplicate this experience.
"It's a very valid question and is something that we have been working on," said Chiro Aikat, a MasterCard product delivery executive. Part of the delay is due to the additional information that's processed for the unique codes used in the transactions, he said.
To help speed up the transaction, MasterCard recently introduced a new application, M/Chip Fast, that prioritizes the security steps in the process, said Aikat. Several grocery stores in the United States use it today. "The consumer response was phenomenal—with delays of just two to 2.5 seconds."
More such improvements are coming, he said. "With any migrations, there is a level of maturity that occurs," he said. "I think the market is moving and focusing on the optimization part of it."
Let's hope he is correct.

Support Female Sci-Fi Film THE HADES PIT
Maurice Mitchell 10/27/2014 07:43:00 AM Bruce-Campbell, Fandom, Movies, Samuel-L-Jackson, Sigourney-Weaver
The Hades Pit (2014) Kickstarter concept art
When was the last good sci-fi film you saw that starred a female lead? Tony Sebastian Ukpo from Rennes, France contacted us about an ambitious Kickstarter campaign to create an independent film with a "good female led sci-fi film of the same kind of calibre of Alien." The film will be shot in the U.S. and promises to be a cool action film inspired by video games like Nintendo's Metroid. He's done a number of major film projects like The Outsider: A Looper's Story (2012), Random 11 (2011) and Paris 60 (2012).
Here's the official description and promotional "sizzle reel":
The story starts with a young woman and her dog on their way to the countryside with her father, on a regular annual father/daughter retreat where he works as a Park Ranger. On this trip however, something is not right, signaled by the smoke coming from behind the abandoned factory on the way to their home. They pay no heed to it, and things slowly start to get stranger and stranger in a suspenseful build up to the fathers abduction from their home in broad daylight by large masked figures.
With all the communication posts down, and the nearby service station now manned by a fresh corpse, the daughter emerging from where she was hidden away by her father during the carnage, eventually takes matters into her own hands, heading with her dog towards the one place they must have taken him.
She finds an underground facility filled with weird sinister scientists, experimental creatures and an unlikely ally in one of the test subjects, and is forced to put a lot of her gaming instincts (She's a gamer) to use in a real world situation. With any luck, the little sizzle trailer below will go some way towards communicating that story, as well as giving you a good idea of the feel and look we are going for.

Here's some concept art for the project:
Several celebrities have agreed to be attached to the project if it goes live like Bruce Campbell, Samuel L Jackson and Sigourney Weaver. Head over "The Hades Pit" Kickstarter page to learn more!
Hat tip to Rod Faulkner of the 7thmatrix.
Do you think we need more female-led science fiction films? Would you support a project like this? If you could adapt a video game property which would it be?

Alex J. Cavanaugh October 27, 2014 at 7:54 AM
Creatures are very creepy. It would start with a great cast, that's for sure.
jeremy [retro] October 27, 2014 at 8:22 AM
it's great that more people are trying to raise money for films that look cool... show holly-weird that films can be made and made right.
Nicki Elson October 27, 2014 at 8:49 AM
Sounds like it will be a great flick!
Meradeth Snow October 27, 2014 at 9:53 AM
This looks like an awesome project! Definitely something I'd go see!
Tyrean Martinson October 27, 2014 at 4:55 PM
Yes, I think more female leads in scifi would be great! However, I think there should be some guy-led films too . . . it would be nice to have a good mix of both. The project looks and sounds interesting.
Roderick T Faulkner October 27, 2014 at 5:00 PM
This project sounds terrific, and Lord knows we more quality genre films with women in the lead. I hope we fans can rally and make this project - and others like it - happen!
Toinette Thomas November 9, 2014 at 6:17 AM
Totally. I'm all in for the most part when it comes to sci-fi movies, but I would like to see more women in the lead roles. I've been willingly programmed to be happy with all the movies that star and prodominantly feature male casts, but now I'm ready to see more women fighting battles, making discoveries, finding the answers, and saving the day.

This morning Breitbart mentioned two polls, by CNN (here) "Almost Half Believe White House Ordered IRS to Target Tea Party", and Gallup (here), "Less Than One Fourth of Americans Trust Newspapers"
Since the total of these groups represent 400% of the population, that must mean that at least 200% of us believe at least one or more of those choices, and the other 200% must believe the other ones.
3.. I have to start getting more sleep, and it looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
Abraham Lincoln said "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time". If he was around today he might add, ..."and to fool 400% of the people for going on 5 years takes an army of amoral leftist manipulators who are experts at making up stuff, and one wannabe president to read it all off a teleprompter".
I am curious if the CBO considered that many of the 12 million they want to let have citizenship will immediately jump on welfare, food stamps or some other nefarious social program costing the actual diminishing, working taxpayer of this Country twice as much as they currently pay. This is an issue about votes, and buying an election through granting promises that will destroy up.

Surgical strikes video given to PMO (Roundup)
New Delhi, Oct 5 (IANS) As the demand for sharing evidence of the surgical strikes grew louder, Minister of State for Home Affairs Hansraj Gangaram Ahir on Wednesday said the footage has already been handed over to the Prime Minister's Office by the Army.
The Minister said a call on making the video public rests with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"The video footage has been handed over to the government by the Army," Ahir told IANS on phone from Mumbai.
Asked if the government planned to share the video, he said: "No such decision has been taken yet, a call can only be taken by the Prime Minister."
"A nation has its own policies and one needs to practise restraint. People like Sanjay Nirupam and Arvind Kejriwal listen to Pakistan. The DGMO did the briefing and everyone in India believes it," the Minister said.

Meanwhile, a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), chaired by Prime Minister Modi, was held on Wednesday during which the situation along the Line of Control was reviewed.
Officials from the Defence Ministry, meanwhile, said there were no discussions on releasing the video.
The officials did not specify if a final stand on the issue has been taken.
Former Army Chief General J.J. Singh (retd), meanwhile, said sharing a footage will not be in national interest.
"I want to tell it loud and clear… these are secret and discreet operations which are supposed to be executed with precision, and our people are supposed to come back leaving as far as possible no evidence behind," Singh told IANS.
"In today's age, there is enough electronic equipment to track and record to tell what they have achieved, but it is not in national interest to put it in public domain. It has never been done in the past… in fact, it is not even supposed to be talked about. We must be mature enough as a country to be able to ensure that this kind of pressure is not put on the government or the army to produce videos," the former Army chief told IANS.

India has said a surgical strike was carried out during the night intervening September 28 and 29 to destroy terrorist launch pads across the LoC.
Pakistan has, however, claimed that no such attack took place.
In India, some political leaders, including Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam have demanded that the government release evidence of the strike.
The situation has been tense on the India-Pakistan border since the September 18 terror attack at an army camp in Uri town of Jammu and Kashmir which left 19 soldiers dead. India blamed Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad militant group for the attack.
Relations between the two neighbouring nations have deteriorated since the surgical strikes.
On Tuesday, Indian Army alleged that Pakistan troops opened unprovoked heavy firing in at least three places along the LoC and along the International Border in Akhnoor sector in Jammu.

On Monday, November 6th, NYC Labor and elected officials gathered with the Writers Guild of America, East to rally with workers from DNA Info. and Gothamist, who lost their jobs when company owner Joe Ricketts decided to shut down the publications, roughly one week after voting to join the WGAE.
Workers heard from reporters, WGAE Executive Director Lowell Peterson, and NYC CLC President Vinny Alvarez, as well as supportive elected officials like NYC Public Advocate Letitia James, NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer, Queens Senator Michael Gianaris, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, and NYC Council members Donovan Richards, Helen Rosenthal, and Antonio Reynoso.
Speakers called for an end to corporate greet, and the type of classism that would opt to use a union-busting tactic like shutting down entire publications, as retaliation for workers unionizing.

Five preservation projects around Michigan honored with Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation
Annual awards program recognizes historic preservation achievements in Michigan
LANSING, MICH. – Five Michigan preservation projects today were awarded Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation during a virtual ceremony hosted by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), the Michigan Economic Development Corporation announced today. Communities represented by the projects include Pokagon Township, Dearborn, Flint, Detroit and Charter Township of Alpena.
"I'm honored to have the opportunity to recognize the recipients of the Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation," said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. "These historic places, spread across the state, demonstrate our state's unique past and reflect the innovation, resiliency and pride we all share in calling ourselves Michiganders."
Now in its 18th year, the Governor's Awards for Historic Preservation program, held every year during National Historic Preservation Month, was created by SHPO to celebrate outstanding historic preservation achievements that reflect a commitment to the preservation of Michigan's unique character and the many archaeological sites and historic structures that document our rich past.
"Historic resources and archaeological sites tell us about the past and help us maintain Michigan's unique identity. Their preservation is vital to Michigan's present and future as they contribute to vibrant communities and our understanding of the past," said Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer Martha MacFarlane-Faes. "Each year during National Historic Preservation Month the Governor's Award program gives us an opportunity to recognize outstanding historic preservation achievements reflecting a commitment to the preservation of Michigan's neighborhoods, downtowns, and countryside, as well as the state's unique character, and the preservation of cultural resources that document Michigan's past."
The 2021 Governor's Award recipients are (visit here for full details and videos of each project):
1. The Michigan Department of Transportation, Cass County Road Commission, Pokagon Township, OHM Advisors, and Hardman Construction for the rehabilitation and relocation of the M-86 Pony Truss Bridge in Cass County

"Historic preservation is a vital component of our efforts to develop attractive, vibrant and resilient communities where talent wants to live, where businesses want to be and where people want to travel to," said MEDC Chief Operating Officer Amanda Bright-McClanahan. "Today's awardees have demonstrated their commitment to historic preservation in the true spirit of Pure Michigan, helping us preserve the historic places throughout Michigan that make our communities so attractive and meaningful to us all."
National Historic Preservation Month was established in 1973 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to help local preservation groups, historical societies, and communities promote historic places and heritage tourism and to demonstrate the social and economic benefits of historic preservation. This year's award recipients spearheaded projects that saved special places, increased economic activity and continue to educate residents and visitors about Michigan's history.

While the Big Dogs are dealing with 'Big Data' (a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications), the rest of the small to mid-sized companies are still struggling with the basics.
At Blue Door Consulting, we see this data dilemma daily. How does a 300M, 35M or 3M dollar company use its data to compete? Frankly, it's a struggle for them – the extraction, analysis and application of their data is an overwhelming endeavor for the average company.
But before I convey my Earth-shattering thought process, let's delve more deeply into the typical obstacles facing small to mid-sized firms as experienced by my team. Ironically, many of these seem to be the same obstacles facing large business, but they tend to have more resources.
The CEO says 'I need data!' But, 'What data?' is usually the response. There is an inability to articulate what data is needed; instead the philosophy is that if the data is merely presented, the problem will be revealed.
The IT team says 'We're not currently collecting that data or we have to build the infrastructure to house that data.' As the infrastructure/database keepers of the data, the IT team builds out the platform, but often has a challenge understanding what data should be captured, how it will be mined and the process for its extraction.
The customer service representative complains 'This data profile is incomplete; I can't answer the person's questions.' Garbage in. Garbage out.
The marketer says 'I don't know how to pull the data from the database.' The gap between the data and its mining is significant. Many times the data exists, but not in an easy, retrievable system.
The human resources recruiter says, 'A business analyst isn't in our staffing budget.' While this position will be a 'must-have' in the future, many small and mid-sized companies don't see the value in having a person dedicated to this role today.
At all stages of this 'Data-to-Information-to-Knowledge Process,' challenges exist. It isn't just one obstacle to overcome; it's at every data touch point. If companies can't transform existing data into information and then into knowledge, the ability for these companies to succeed in our data-driven market will become further diminished.
As data ambassadors, we need to do a better job educating and arming small to mid-sized companies with best practices and processes to ensure they are sustainable tomorrow.
Feel free to weigh in on your thoughts regarding additional challenges you see, trends or solutions and I'll include them in my Part 2 as I address how to help small and mid-sized businesses get the most out of their data!

Kelly's appointment and Trump's struggle for power
Kilic Bugra Kanat Posted On July 31, 2017
In his book "The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency," filmmaker and journalist Chris Whipple tells the stories of living chiefs of staff and how they influenced the presidency in the U.S. As the second most powerful position in the U.S. administration, each of these people have had unlimited access to the president and have a significant role in shaping the agenda of the president, his meetings and his policies.
Trump ousting Priebus as chief of staff and appointing Kelly is a development showing Trump's efforts to take the upper hand in the White House
The book starts with an extraordinary occasion: The gathering of most of the living chiefs of staff at the White House during the transition of the Obama administration after the November 2008 elections. The group met to give recommendations to incoming Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel before he officially assumed this role. Among those present, there were interesting suggestions for Emanuel. There are some principled recommendations, such as "Always, always be straight and honest with the president of the United States. … Always tell him what he may not want to hear – because frankly a lot of people in the White House will always tell the president what he wants to hear," advice from Leon Panetta, the chief of staff for President Bill Clinton. Some others were more practical; former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney for instance advised Emanuel to control the vice president at all costs. Considering the challenges from different institutions, Andrew Card, George W. Bush's chief of staff, stated: "A lot of people aren't interested in protecting the institution of the presidency, Article 2 in the Constitution. In fact, it's under attack almost all the time from Article 1, which is Congress, and Article 3, the courts. And there really aren't too many people at the White House that pay attention to that." Probably one of the most realistic accounts of the chief of staff in this meeting was from Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of Defense and chief of staff to President Gerald Ford. He said: "Immediately pick your successor. … And always remember: You are not indispensable."Last week, it was seen how real the prospect of losing a job is when someone is chief of staff to the president. The people that occupy this position become the first target of any form of failure or challenge to the administration. Reince Priebus became the latest of those last week. President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he was ousting Priebus from the chief of staff position and appointing John Kelly, the secretary of Homeland Security for the position. With this decision, Priebus became the shortest-serving chief of staff in the modern presidency.
There were debates about the fate of Priebus due to the problems he was facing both from different members of the administration and his record on legislation. The failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act definitely did not help him during this process. The direct relationship some members of the administration had with the president meant they bypassed the chief of staff, making it difficult for him to control information and access to the president.
Now General Kelly will be in that office, and there are questions in regards to his possible challenges in the administration. And those challenges are not so different from the problems Priebus faced. First, due to his lack of experience in passing legislation, there will be a definite learning period in relations with Congress. Also, some members of the administration, such as White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, reportedly directly answer to the president, which means the chief of staff will continue to be bypassed. Moreover, there are question marks as to whether there will be any change in the presidential leadership style of Trump himself. If he continues with the current level of engagement and control, it will be hard for General Kelly to empower himself and gain control of the agenda and the White House.
There are arguments in favor of this new appointment as well. So far, many have pointed to General Kelly's outstanding military record as evidence of his management skills and a possible disciplinarian in the White House. They expect Kelly to bring some order to the White House and policymaking process. Respect for him and for his service from both sides of the aisle is also considered a positive sign for his future relations with parties in Congress. Furthermore, his collegial relations with both National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster and Secretary of Defense James Mattis may generate a better working relationship between the institutions these individuals lead and consequently clarify confusion concerning foreign and security policy making. But of course all of this depends on President Trump's delegation of authority and power to General Kelly.
It is not uncommon for a new administration to face significant crises in the first few months of their tenure. There are various examples of domestic and foreign policy crises new administrations have had to go through in their first months in office, and in most instances changes in the administration were necessary. However, as time goes by the cost of these challenges for an administration can increase if they are not contained, controlled and resolved. Developments in the White House after this appointment will be very important for the administration and U.S. foreign policy. Considering challenges such as the lack of strategy in Syria, the war against terror and North Korean missile tests, continuing rumors about the competition for power among members of the inner circle or difficulty generating a decision in regards to crises in different parts of the world will cause serious problems for the Trump administration and its policies.

Q: Linux utility to draw character based chart or plot? This is what I so much look forward to knowing, and when it comes to my mind, I feel it so exiting and it is very convenient and useful. What it is? I don't know! but I want it use it in a linux command line environment, and get it to draw a plot/chart without a X-Window or any GUI.
for example, I have some data:
a, b, c, d, e
1, 2, 3, 4, 5

when I run the utility, I can have a plot directly displaying on the terminal:
a b c d e
- - - - -
  - - - -
    - - -
      - -
        -

The '-' can be any characters like '.' or whatever.
You know what I am saying! and I believe there is a good linux tool implemented out there, for more complex dataset, to draw 2-D plots/charts in terminal like many other GUI tools do in GUI environment, and it can even draw with colored characters! but what is it? I have been looking for it for months, but I don't know yet. Please give me a kick.
Thanks,

A: You can use gnuplot with a dumb terminal: more informations here.

HS2 tells contractors to cut CO2 by half
HS2 contractors are turning to next-generation materials to meet a challenging 50% carbon reduction target for construction of phase one civils assets.
HS2 contractors in London have begun using a new low carbon concrete product which provides a reduction of 42% in CO2
To meet the target enabling works contractor, Costain Skanska joint venture and Lydon Contracting are using a pioneering low carbon concrete to reduce emissions.
The first use of the Vertua Classic Zero concrete in the capital will prepare the ground for an electricity substation which will power the tunnel boring machines excavating HS2's London tunnels.
A further delivery of Cemex's Vertua is planned at the same site by the end of October.
Talks are now taking place as to how this technology can be adopted on further sites across the HS2 route.
Dan Hunt, Programme Director at Costain Skanska joint venture said: "Working closely with our supply chain, CSjv has identified many ways to maximise our environmental credentials, leading to more than 3,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) saved to date.
"We have focused on identifying innovations and efficiencies throughout our whole programme, from our power supplies and fuel sources through to working methodology by reducing and recycling materials.
"We have worked hard to reduce the amount of concrete needed across the programme and by working with Cemex, we have further reduced our carbon footprint of our works."
Zero carbon concrete
Cemex has engineered carbon reductions into the concrete mix design, and calculated the embodied carbon generated from extraction and processing of raw materials, product manufacturing and distribution.
Residual carbon is then offset, making the concrete carbon neutral from manufacture to use.
To achieve carbon neutrality, carbon is offset by the removal or reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere.
Cemex does this by investing in projects which physically remove CO2 where possible from the atmosphere, such as planting more trees or protecting against deforestation through an independently audited and verified project.
This is done in accordance with international standards for carbon neutrality.


Discussion in 'Amps and Cabs [BG]' started by the captain, Jun 17, 2003.
This rig will kill. Get the 4-ohm cabs.
In my experiences, if you're looking for true hi-fi, your closest choice among these 4 is EBS. I've played Edens and have found they're nice, but I'm partial to EBS.
I've played Hartkes and GKs as well, but don't find them to be very hi-fi sounding.
I'm never quite sure what you guys on TB consider to be "hifi". EBS and Eden, which are mostly condsidered as "hifi" sound especially merciless to my ears, and I think that high fidelity also implies that the resulting sound is supposed to please. A broad frequency range, and the adequate reproduction of fret noise alone is not exactly what I expect from a high-end system. A certain softness in is also important to play effortlessly. To my ears, none of the mentioned (GK, Eden, EBS) delivers such tone. Hartke is definatly "hifi" sounding IMO: broad range, much clarity and nothing harsh about it's sound.
I have the Hartke 4.5XL with a 115XL. I've powered it both full range and bi-amp. The 4.5 will give you that (snap) without being (Sienfieldish (new word I think)) if you know what I mean. When you get into rigs of the magnitude you speak of, it's all a matter of taste. A lot of really hi-fi cabs can't get past the edge of the stage. They create so much frequency overlap that the bass gets lost in the kick and guitar. I think just about any of the cabs you mention will work fine for you. Before you drop that much money on them, give them a listen in person.
I think it's a shame that Hartke doesn't offer Speakon jacks (as well as Peavey). If I ever bought one, I'd ask my dealer to install them!
By the way, Grey Beard: I recieved my PLX1202 recently, and I wondered whether you bridge yours when using the 4.5XL or not! Does it handle the power well?
Yea, I bridge it and the 4.5 hasn't farted yet. Must be feeding it right.

Teenager convicted of stabbing rival cheerleader
January 25, 2023 in Cheerleader News Tagged bernadette, cheer, prison, year, years - 3 Minutes
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (WCBS) – A New York teenager will spend several years in prison after pleading guilty to the stabbing death of a rival deputy.
The emotional moments came Tuesday when a judge sentenced the 15-year-old deputy to three to nine years in prison. The girl was charged in the stabbing death of 16-year-old Kayla Green, a member of a rival gang in Mount Vernon, New York.
Green's mother, Laverne Gordon, spoke in court afterward of the pain she will feel forever at losing her promising daughter.
"Her killer gets out after three years to live his life, have a family, have a career. My daughter will never see that," Gordon said.
Green was attacked after a rally in Mount Vernon to celebrate a basketball championship in April 2022. The attacker was a 15-year-old armed with a knife that he had shown on social media earlier. on the 8th of April.
It is difficult to understand the motive.
"There has been a long-standing rivalry between two cheerleading teams in Mount Vernon," said Westchester County Judge Susan Cacace.
Cacace said the suspect, who has not been named because of his age, had a history of violent behavior.
Prosecutors say there is no way to fully understand what set him on his deadly path.
Prosecutor James Bavero said: "This was a deliberate, senseless and brutal crime, which caused immeasurable pain.
The 15-year-old boy showed remorse in court, crying as he read the sentence.
"I think about all the different decisions I could have made that day that could have kept Kayla alive and saved her family this heartache. But that's why everyone is here today because I made the wrong decisions," read another statement.
The judge pointed to a sign of hope, saying that the 15-year-old child is thriving in custody, and hopes that the young person is on his way to doing something with his life.

Scally (also spelled Skelly or Skally) and "Ni Sceallaígh" in Irish and "Ni Scalaí" in modern Irish is a surname of Irish origin.

Origins
The surname Scally is an anglicized version of the Gaelic "Mac Scalaíghe ", which means "Son of the Storyteller". It was first found in County Westmeath. The variations of the name were formed when church officials spelled the names as they were pronounced, which caused many different spellings of the surname.

Variations
The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Mac Scalaíghe, which was dated around 1100 by the Ancient Records of Westmeath during the reign of High Kings of Ireland.

The clan were forced to spread out due to Anglo-Norman pressure but many remained in the Midlands.

The form Scales is found mainly in County Clare

The form Skelly is found mainly in Counties Roscommon and Westmeath.

Scally also found in County Antrim and Down.

Clashes between the Dogon and the Fulani tribes over access to land and water have become more frequent over the last few months. On 9 June, the Malian Ministry of Defence said that unidentified gunmen had attacked a Dogon village, killing 95. In March, over 130 people were killed and dozens wounded in a Fulani village.
Unidentified gunmen on motorbikes attacked two villages in central Mali, killing at least 41 people, Reuters reported, citing a local mayor.
At the same time, according to an AFP report citing unnamed local officials, at least 14 were killed in attacks against two Dogon villages.
Attacks on the villages of Ganfafani and Yoro left "14 people dead according to a provisional toll", local judicial official Boubacar Sidiki Samake said, cited by AFP.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for Monday's attack, AFP reported.
Mali is suffering from long-term instability amid simmering ethnic conflicts. There are some 20 ethnic groups, members of which are reportedly connected with global terrorist organisations.
