Q: java tomcat: how to use JOAuth properly I tried to follow the instructions on JOAuth, a java-based OAuth 1 (final) and OAuth 2 (draft 10) library. How do I use it? in order to fetch facebook access token but with no success.
i did the following:
added these lines to WEB-INF/web.xml
<servlet>
  <description>An OAuth Servlet Controller</description>
  <display-name>OAuthServlet</display-name>
  <servlet-name>OAuthServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.neurologic.oauth.servlet.OAuthServlet</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
     <param-name>config</param-name>
     <param-value>/WEB-INF/oauth-config.xml</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>OAuthServlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/oauth/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

created WEB-INF/oauth-config.xml with the following lines:
(renamed app key and secret to <APP_KEY> and <APP_SECRET>)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<oauth-config>
<oauth name="facebook" version="2">
 <consumer key="<APP_KEY>" secret="<APP_SECRET>" />
 <provider authorizationUrl="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize"
   accessTokenUrl="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token" />
</oauth>

<service path="/oauth_redirect"
class="com.facebook.FacebookOAuthService" oauth="facebook">
 <success path="/start.jsp" />
</service>
</oauth-config>

my com.facebook.FacebookOAuthService class ( The OAuth Service ):
package com.xpogames.facebook;

import java.util.Map;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

import net.oauth.enums.GrantType;
import net.oauth.exception.OAuthException;
import net.oauth.parameters.OAuth2Parameters;

import com.neurologic.oauth.service.impl.OAuth2Service;
import com.neurologic.oauth.util.Globals;

/**

public class FacebookOAuthService extends OAuth2Service {

 private static final String REDIRECT_URL = "http://127.0.0.1:5080/Red5FacebookAuth/oauth/oauth_redirect";

     /* (non-Javadoc)
      * @see com.neurologic.oauth.service.impl.OAuth2Service#processReceivedAuthorization(javax.servlet.    http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.String, java.util.Map)
  */
  @Override
  protected String processReceivedAuthorization(HttpServletRequest request, String code, Map<String, String> additionalParameters) throws OAuthException {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  OAuth2Parameters parameters = new OAuth2Parameters();
  parameters.setCode(code);
  parameters.setRedirectUri(REDIRECT_URL);

  Map<String, String> responseMap = getConsumer().requestAcessToken(GrantType.AUTHORIZATION_CODE, parameters, null, (String[])null);
  if (responseMap == null) {
   //This usually should never been thrown, but we just do anyway....
   throw new OAuthException("No OAuth response retrieved.");
  }

  if (responseMap.containsKey("error")) {
   throwOAuthErrorException(responseMap);
  }

  if (responseMap.containsKey(OAuth2Parameters.ACCESS_TOKEN)) {
   String accessToken = responseMap.remove(OAuth2Parameters.ACCESS_TOKEN);
   request.getSession().setAttribute(Globals.SESSION_OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN, accessToken);
   processAdditionalReceivedAccessTokenParameters(request, responseMap);
  }

  return null;
 }

 /* (non-Javadoc)
  * @see com.neurologic.oauth.service.impl.OAuth2Service#processAdditionalReceivedAccessTokenParamet    ers(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.util.Map)
  */
 @Override
 protected void processAdditionalReceivedAccessTokenParameters(HttpServletRequest request, Map<String, String> additionalParameters) throws OAuthException {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub

 }
}

and finally the start.jsp file that the user should be forwarded to on success.
<%@page import="com.neurologic.oauth.util.Globals"%>

<%
String accessToken =     (String)request.getSession().getAttribute(Globals.SESSION_OAUTH2_ACCESS_TOKEN); //For OAuth 2 access token.
%>
<%= accessToken %>

when I try to test it by forwarding my browser to http://127.0.0.1:5080/Red5FacebookAuth/oauth/oauth_redirect the output that i get is null which means that the attribute does not exist
there are no errors but still i get no proper token.
I'm new to tomcat and the servlet configuration so i might have missed something.
what am i missing?
thanks a lot!

A: Ok, what I never answered before (because I assumed the user to know OAuth Authorization) is the initiation of the OAuth Authorization flow.
Firstly, follow the OAuth flow as stipulated here. I'm showing you how it's done in java based on what's documented.
For this workflow to work, you need to request an Authorization Code (through Authorization Request as mentioned in paragraph 4.1.1 of OAuth Specification).
That method is called from OAuth2Consumer class:
public String generateRequestAuthorizationUrl(ResponseType responseType, String redirectUri, String state, String scopeDelimiter, String... scope) throws OAuthException {

Remember, scopeDelimiter for Facebook is a comma , and responseType is ResponseType.CODE. scope is what Facebook perceives as permissions.
A full example is this:
String client_id = "<APP_ID>";
String client_secret = "<CLIENT_SECRET>";
String redirectUrl = "http://127.0.0.1:5080/Red5FacebookAuth/oauth/oauth_redirect";
OAuth2ServiceProvider provider = new OAuth2ServiceProvider("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize", "https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token");
OAuth2Consumer consumer = new OAuth2Consumer(client_id, client_secret, provider);

//Using HttpServletResponse (but you can kickstart it through an Action/Controller/etc.
response.sendRedirect(consumer.generateRequestAuthorizationUrl(ResponseType.CODE, redirectUrl, null, ",", (String[])null)); //where null is the scope array,

This will, in turn call your com.facebook.FacebookOAuthService.processReceivedAuthorization when Facebook does an HTTP-Redirect. The code is then your Authorization Code received from Facebook.
Hope this helps!
PS Facebook doesn't do an HTTP-Redirect to your page when requesting access token, hence why you're manually storing it in a session and not JOAuth (It uses OAuth 2 draft 0). If other OAuth 2 service provider uses HTTP-Redirect after requesting for Access Token, don't store the Access Token, the OAuth2Service does it automatically for you.
PPS Use any logging framework to see logs.
Good luck and let me know what comes up!


Every time a new novel appears, I'm unsure whether I should thank the old girlfriend, or curse her. The author has a command of the language, though, that I openly admire. Less style. All story, driven forward with the right balance of whatever. I once figured this out and called it "Hardy Boys for adults," and I think I'll stick with that definition, as it fits my way of seeing these books.
There's certainly a serial quality, and this seems to be along the lines of "Stone Barrington," formerly of the masses, now a super rich guy.
The setup is quick, and the hook is set.
As boring as it might seem to be to read a serialized series like this, and I imagine this really should be a single, large novel, the induction of a new character, one of an endless stream of women in the main character's life, she's got a twist. If only I heard about that before. New to me.
Then the body count rises. Always ups the ante in the novel when dead bodies start to accumulate.
Simply put, it's an installment in a literary franchise. Action packed, twists and turns, weird pacing, and set against the fashionable backdrop of luxury in New York City.
Helps to have friends in high places?

Q: How to connect between Simulated Vehicle and Companion Computers at the same time? I was wondering if it was possible to connect to a virtual drone and physical drone at the same time, UDP and USB. This is to test ground station like functionality to be able to control multiple drones. I only have 1 physical and want to test between both.
Or to at least prove my suspicion that
api = local_connect()     # Get an APIConnection
all_vehicle = api.get_vehicles()

Does in fact give me all possible connected vehicles.
And just play with it from there.
Edit:
What my process was is looking at MAVProxy and read up on it. I can connect to a physical drone Iris+ and a virtual copter by following
this.
I run the instance with this command
sim_vehicle.sh -v ArduCopter -L PLACE --map --console --out :14550
It works well and I can connect to it using MavProxy via the following command
start up
mavproxy.py --master=127.0.0.1:14550

Now I can connect to the physical as well with
mavproxy.py --master=/dev/USB0

When I try to use with both
mavproxy.py --master=127.0.0.1:14550 --master=/dev/USB0

It doesn't work and I don't even know if it would work to begin with I was just trying.
All in all what i am trying to do is being able to connect to 2 drones and be able to control them with 1 ground control station.
API: to connect to multiple vehicles

The first African-American astronaut will soon get a fitting spaceflight tribute, if all goes according to plan.
One of the 64 small satellites flying atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on the upcoming SSO-A SmallSat Express mission carries a 24-karat-gold jar that encases a bust of Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., IEEE Spectrum reported earlier this month.
But Lawrence died less than six months later, when his F-104 Starfighter supersonic jet crashed during an exercise at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Lawrence was helping train another MOL astronaut in landing techniques, according to a biography penned by NASA officials.
U.S. Air Force Maj. Robert Henry Lawrence Jr. standing next to an F-104 Starfighter.
Though the administration of President Richard Nixon canceled MOL in 1969, Lawrence likely would have made it to orbit eventually, had he survived the accident. He was just 32 at the time of his death, and seven similarly young MOL astronauts — Karol Bobko, Robert Crippen, Gordon Fullerton, Henry Hartsfield Jr., Robert Overmyer, Don Peterson and Richard Truly — transferred into NASA's ranks after MOL was dustbinned.
It's "virtually certain" that Lawrence would have transferred as well, NASA officials wrote in the biography. "All in that group flew on the space shuttle in the 1980s; it is easy to imagine that Lawrence would have piloted one of the early space shuttle missions," they added.
The tiny satellite honoring Lawrence is called Enoch and is owned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, IEEE Spectrum reported. The artist behind the project is Tavares Strachan, who wanted to give the pioneer his due.
"[Lawrence is] someone who has a mostly untold story, who I look at as a hero but who wasn't necessarily considered one when I was a child in school," Strachan told IEEE Spectrum. "A black guy doing space exploration with the U.S. government wasn't a normal situation in 1960s America. He was traversing a very difficult time."
For example, another art project, called Orbital Reflector, is designed to draw the eyes of millions of people skyward (temporarily — the shiny mini-sat will de-orbit and burn up in Earth's atmosphere within a few weeks of its launch, project team members have said). And the Elysium Star 2 cubesat will carry the cremated remains of customers into orbit.
SSO-A, which has been organized by Seattle-based company Spaceflight, is notable not just for the number, diversity and quirkiness of its satellites. The mission also involves a Falcon 9 with a twice-flown first stage. SpaceX has re-flown first stages of the two-stage Falcon 9 plenty of times as part of the company's push for rapid and extensive reusability, but no core has ever launched on three separate orbital missions.
The 64 payloads aboard SSO-A do not represent a record, by the way. An Indian PSLV rocket lofted 104 satellites during a February 2017 launch.


Lady Gaga has hinted that her comeback gig in London next month (September) will feature a surprise guest.
The singer will open this year's iTunes Festival with a performance at London's Roundhouse on September 1 – her first gig since February, when she was forced to cancel a slew of tour dates while she underwent surgery for a hip injury.
Gaga went on to confirm that Azealia Banks doesn't appear on 'ARTPOP' after the rapper said last October that she had been working with Lady Gaga over email. Gaga also revealed that she will perform six of the 15 songs set to appear on 'ARTPOP' during her comeback gig on September 1.
Meanwhile, the singer has also reassured fans that a sequel to her memorable 2010 video 'Telephone' is "surely coming" and revealed that she will perform the song in question during her Roundhouse show.
Earlier this week, Lady Gaga unveiled the video for the first single from 'ARTPOP', 'Applause', which features shots of the singer's head on the body of a swan. She'll perform the song live for the first time at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York tomorrow (August 25). 'ARTPOP' is due for release on November 11 and features production from Zedd, Madeon and DJ White Shadow.

TAKING STOCK: Mumbai's bar girls: The aftermath
By Rakesh Wadhwa
Published: 12:00 am Nov 06, 2005
Sometime back I had written against the proposal of the Indian state of Maharastra's chief minister in Mumbai to close down dance bars. The bars were closed. The pressure from NGOs and other 'do-good' organisations was much too much for the CM and his government. The CM knew that his move will probably win him some votes and he happily capitulated.
The girls who made their living dancing in these bars were left without means of sustaining their lives. They had no education and were not trained for anything else. What was feared, happened. I had said that however much noise governments and NGOs make about taking care of these 'exploited' girls, they would, in the end, be left to fend for themselves.
The work of governments and NGOs is to garner maximum possible publicity for their efforts – always characterised as benefiting society – and then move on to the next big project perceived to be attractive to the masses.
Once dance bars were closed with publicity nationwide and even beyond, no one was interested in doing the hard work to rehabilitate the girls. What happened to them?
It has been widely reported that from dancing in bars, the girls have now 'progressed' to becoming sex workers.
In Mumbai, in the neighbouring state of Gujarat and as far as Delhi, girls who worked in the bars are now 'available' to men for a price.Do not get me wrong. I have nothing against sex workers. They have a right over their bodies and it is not for us to pass judgment over the dignity of the profession they have chosen for themselves. What is reprehensible is that these girls have moved into the sex trade because the choice of being a bar dancer was suddenly taken away from them. No notice. No compensation. No possibility of legal redressal.
The government proclaims it cares for the workers, its labour laws making firing workers exceedingly difficult; it protects even violent trade union activists and yet it had no compunctions about laying off thousands of these girls. They were kicked out of their jobs, promises of monthly wages and tips made by the bar owners broken by government action. Let them starve was the government's attitude.
Such mass firings by any company – even a bankrupt one – would have immediately evoked a storm of protests, rocked the parliament and the left front would have walked out from the government coalition. An immediate bail out by a government handout would be the minimum demand. But no voice was heard in support of these girls.
Nothing happened. No one protested the government move. No one had the courage to protest the moves of self appointed cultural goons. Dance bars employing poor girls and catering to poor customers are closed. Does that end dancing? For the rich, it is life as usual. Neither the discos are affected nor the five star hotels. New Year's Eve will feature its share of belly dancers – many of them coming from abroad to entertain the well heeled.
When people are dancing their blues away to usher in 2006, how many of Mumbai's elite are going to remember the end of dancing by the bar girls – the end of their hopes and aspirations and the indignity they have been forced into as a result?
We have enough of our problems here to think too much of Mumbai and what happens to dance bar girls over there. What we can do is to stop making life difficult for those who voluntarily work in the dance and cabin restaurants of Kathmandu. Police has its hands full
in controlling theft, violence and murders. Must they devote time to chasing girls who are not harming anyone except perhaps themselves?

I would like to thank you for posting your article. I am from Western Massachusetts, Close to Springfield. When I was first diagnosed with RSD/CRPS I was referred to Baystate Pain Management. I saw several different doctors there, at least three or four. That was in 2012 at that time, I was told there was nothing they could do for me. First visit I was given a LSB it didn't work and they didn't suggest trying anything else. This was the early onset of CRPS were articles state to be aggressive with treatments. That didn't happen. Last visit there told I needed a psychiatrist and therapist to learn to deal with the pain.Never went back, they were of no help at all.. I would hope that they would have doctors now that can treat and manage care for RSD/CRPS. I did try acupuncture at Baystate, didn't receive pain relief, would just go into a flare. In 2015 I was referred for a IME (workers comp injury) I meet the most amazing, knowledgeable doctor, who specializes in treating RSD/CRPS. A doctor who said he could take over my treatments ( with Judges permission) that he could help me. Tears ran down my face, a doctor that can help me. It will be two years this December that I have been treating with this doctor. With a two hour drive one way, and your article about the vibration is spot on. But what I have learned with RSD/CRPS there are pain management doctors and there are pain management doctors who specialize in treating this disease. May everyone find a compassionate doctor who will treat you and never run out of options. And that two hour drive in the back seat, with lots of pillows and blankets is one hell of a ride, I feel every bump, shooting nerve pain, tears down my face, in pain. But when I arrive at destination I know I have the most compassionate doctor waiting to treat me.
I'm so glad you found a good one! Please feel free to share your doctor's name and location, if you feel okay about doing so. We sure could use some options out here!

Q: Is it possible to create a Shortcut that links a foto to a marker on a map? I'd like to create an iOS / ipadOS Shortcut that, when called, lets me take a photograph, add a caption and store the device's current position as a map marker. The idea is to mark interesting locations for a "proper" photography session, so I can return there with better gear when the light is right.
I'm completely open with regard to the apps involved -- as long as it outputs some sort of GPX or KML.
It does not seem trivially possible with iOS's bundled actions and apps -- so how can I create such a Shortcut?

A: The easy part of this is to have a shortcut add photos to a scouting album. You can then consume that album later to get geotagged items or export and copy / paste the exif data using a third party app.
As described, you might need to create a proper app to bulk export GPX or KML on iOS since I can't see how to do that except using macOS and some heavier weight automation than iOS shortcuts.


adventures and fantasies perhaps, but also sites of anxiety and recklessness, of reflections and denials, of forgotten hurts and half remembered escapades. Ayka Go returns to her childhood diary entries, employing these objects for their content and as actual material. The multitudinous layers of her artistic process— as diary entry written during her younger years, as folded paper visually recreating the diary entries through the perspective of her adult self, as employment of present painting skills to skillfully recreate the paper-folded scenes on canvas— denounce a straightforward process of remembering. Rather, it reflects a constant reworking of the past, in this case, to be used as a process for re-knowing. It is the artist in dialogue with her younger self, a past iteration made strange by the passage of years. Ultimately, it is a process of personal acceptance, and at times, of redemption. Pope Bacay, on the other hand, employs thick and gestural brushstrokes to recreate a mélange of strange landscapes, a mishmash of topographies seemingly viewed from outside the window of a rushing car or enjoyed during a weekend get-away. A yellowish tinge of nostalgia permeates his work— the light of past summers and road trips on the spur. They point to fond memories of places away from home, half-remembered and half-dreamt. Rich in intimate textures but filled with flat colors and pure, meandering lines, these are landscapes hastily recorded to memory. The vistas that do not really exist. The ambient, imagined places from the recesses of past trips bathed in sunlight and vigor.

In the context of post-9/11, post-Bush-era America, Working On a Dream's unabashed, contagious positivity, on paper, heralded the culmination of a decade's worth of creative output, but in reality, misjudged the spirit of its time.
The music of Bruce Springsteen can always - and will always be able to - tell us something about the American state of mind. Indeed, if you were to journey through the Boss's discography, you would find yourself simultaneously journeying through the stages of America's national mood. Yet, on his most contentious album to date, Springsteen seemed to miss the mark.
Upon initial release in January 2009, Working On a Dream received a remarkably ranging critical reception. While Rolling Stone gave the record a five-star rating, a review on Pitchfork wrote that 'Queen of the Supermarket' - a track that depicts the narrator's bizarre infatuation with a checkout girl "may be the worst thing he's ever written…" Having said that, Springsteen's sixteenth studio album garnered much the same commercial success as he was accustomed to, selling more than three million copies worldwide, reaching number one in 17 countries and the top ten nearly everywhere else.
Ten years later, Working On a Dream remains isolated in a strange way, sitting between the politically charged Magic (2007), in which Springsteen voiced his objection to the war and the government's intrusions on civil liberties, and his angriest album by far, Wrecking Ball (2012). Here, Springsteen seems to settle into some sense of contentment as if the world had suddenly solved all of its problems; Working On a Dream is notably upbeat, unshackled by the artist's former worries, and contained within an oblivious bubble, which (coming from Springsteen) strikes one as being dismissive.
Perhaps such sunny positivity can be explained by the knowledge that Springsteen and the E Street Band began recording towards the end of his Magic tour throughout North America and Western Europe. Bruce wrote 'This Life', 'My Lucky Day', 'Life Itself', 'Good Eye' and 'Tomorrow Never Knows' in the space of one week and recorded them during breaks from the tour (most of which were finished in just a few takes). This marked a faster pace of production than Springsteen was used to, and the album reflects the energy of the band fresh off the road from touring.
Nevertheless, a change of production style forced a shift in Springsteen's writing style and, in turn, he pinpointed his focus lyrically on the fleeting nature of life. On 'Kingdom Of Days', for example where Bruce muses on the transcendental power of love over a steady drumbeat, galvanised by golden strings: "With you I don't hear the minutes ticking by / I don't feel the hours as they fly / I don't see the summer as it wanes / Just a subtle change of light upon your face".
There are moments in this album that remind you of Springsteen's storytelling mastery. His vocal harmonies on 'This Life' has echoes of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and 'Tomorrow Never Knows' saunters in around the mid-section of the album with easygoing, freewheelin' country swagger; "Where the cold wind blows / Tomorrow never knows / Where your sweet smile goes / Tomorrow never knows".
Conversely, opening track 'Outlaw Pete', spans over an impressive eight minutes but struggles to maintain direction. The track (which famously borrows from Kiss's 1979 hit, 'I Was Made For Lovin' You') is huge not only in length but in scope. At once an Old West fable and epic tale with a fluctuating tempo that allows the song to build to a never-quite-satisfying crescendo multiple times.
We can't neglect to mention 'Working On a Dream', which was first performed during Springsteen's appearance in Cleveland for Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and subsequently at his presidential inauguration (not to mention the Super Bowl XLIII Halftime Show). The title track (which strives for arena-blowing bigness) sounds more like a campaign slogan than the name of a rock record. Significantly, the album as a whole marks a shift from moral social statements to overtly politically charged testimonies - something that alienated many of his politically conservative fans.
If Springsteen's previous albums attempt to appeal to listeners' sense of post-911 recovery, then his efforts reach a peak on Working On a Dream, as though America was on the final stretch. To say it was more hopeful than his previous album would be an understatement, never more so than on the exuberant title track - a moment of sheer, stubborn optimism: "Rain pouring down, I swing my hammer / My hands are rough from working on a dream / I'm working on a dream".
While there is something admirable in this tone, looking back to when it was first released, it seems to misjudge the spirit of the time. The month that saw the album's release also saw the worst month of the Great Recession with 800,000 jobs lost, and in 2009, the unemployment rate in the US rose to its highest since 1983. Ultimately then, although Springsteen has always aimed to trace America's national mood, perhaps here - for once in his otherwise impeccable career - he fell short.


Anthony Cross, physicist and seeker of the final truth is a deranged scientist with an obsession to find the beginning of life This involves cutting into the brains of his conscious victims to witness the moment of death and experimenting with gravity to create a time warp.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity in this book, and the author has fun playing with it. Disturbing.

8 Great Sledding Hills to Make Winter More Fun
6 Igloo Hotels to Visit This Winter
Because Nothing Shakes Off the Winter Blues Quite Like Hurtling Down a Mountain
Image: Bussalp
Even amid the winter gloom and bitter cold, there is some solace.
It involves hurtling yourself down a hill.
Preferably with a giant inner tube or sleek toboggan fastened securely underneath you.
We speak, naturally, of sledding.
This time-honored tradition releases your inner kid, your adventurous streak, your long-suppressed desire to live out some sort of Warren Miller fantasy... or at least a Mountain Dew commercial fantasy. And, in a pinch, it's not a bad mode of transportation when your town is blanketed in snow and you need to get across it.
Also, it's damn fun. So here are 8 of the best places in the world to go sledding.
Where: Bussalp (Grindelwald, Switzerland)
Why: If you've made it this deep into Switzerland, you'd hate to pass up this opportunity. So hop aboard the Grindelwald Bus, which will take you to a 6,000-foot hill—OK, let's just call it a mountain—that you'll soon be hurtling down. What a way to earn that après-ski fondue.
Lake Placid Toboggan Chute
Where: Lake Placid Toboggan Chute (Mirror Lake, Lake Placid, NY)
Why: Channel the 1980s Miracle on Ice, but without all that exhausting hockey, by making your way to Lake Placid's Mirror Lake for some sledding. Strap in and jettison yourself down a 30-foot-high, ice-covered ski trestle over an icy lake.
Where: Wildkogel Arena (Neukirchen and Bramberg, Austria)
Why: You're in the Austrian Alps, and nearly 6,900 feet above sea level, so it would be a real shame if you didn't ride a toboggan down the world's longest floodlit nighttime run. It's the number one deathbed regret.
Coca-Cola Tube Park
Where: Coca-Cola Tube Park (Winter Park, CO)
Why: If you're heading to Colorado's Winter Park Ski Resort for a frolicking weekend of ski adventures, don't miss the Coca-Cola Tube Park. It's a fun way to kill a few hours off your skis or snowboard, and with four lanes, you can race a stranger whether or not they know you're racing. Great way to make friends.
Where: Sunburst Winter Sports Park (Kewaskum, WI)
Why: For an easy day on the slopes, head to this spot, which is located about two hours north of Chicago. You'll find moderate hills and a Magic Carpet lift up the mountain (it's like a human conveyor belt). Basically, it takes an easy recreation and makes it easier.
Camelback Resort
Where: Camelback Resort (Tannersville, PA)
Why: For starters, look how much fun the guy above is having. That could be you. And Camelback, not satisfied with its gigantic spread of 42 tubing runs in the Poconos, installed an LED light show to enhance your nighttime sliding. Just imagine a cold rave with inner tubes.
Where: Firecracker Hill (Telluride, CO)
Why: There's plenty to do in Telluride during the winter. But if helicopter skiing and ice fishing aren't your thing, then head for Firecracker Hill. Located in the center of this historic Western town, it's where you can rent a sled, point yourself downhill and see what happens.
Where: Essex Street Hill (Bangor, ME)
Why: Mainers consider this place, unofficially known as Suicide Hill because of its steep incline, to be one of the best places to sled in their state. It's like their little secret. So, in other words, try to blend in and get a sled with in-state license plates.

Por Mundo English November 21, 2021 - 02:40 PM
Kyle Rittenhouse, a young man who killed two people in protests for George Floyd, was seen leaving the Kenosha court "smiling" after an unexpected verdict.
This Friday, the grand jury delivered its final verdict on the charges against Kyle Rittenhouse.
The young man listened attentively and fell to the floor crying, and then he ended up hugging one of his lawyers next to him.
WITHOUT REMORSE? Kyle Rittenhouse killed two people in protests for George Floyd. He was caught when he leaves the Kenosha court 'smiling' after an unexpected verdict. Meanwhile hundreds of people protest against the final decision of the jury.
This Friday, the grand jury offered its final verdict on the charges against Kyle Rittenhouse and apparently the decision was liked by the young man, because he was caught smiling as he left the courts aboard a black Chevrolet Equinox.
Kyle Rittenhouse leaves court 'smiling' after unexpected verdict
It was time to read the verdict and the young man stood up, looking deeply shocked, to hear what his fate would be. Thus, a representative of the jury stood up and declared Kyle Rittenhouse NOT GUILTY of the charges against him for the murder of two men during the protests in favor of George Floyd.
Rittenhouse, 18, claimed self-defense amid the heated demonstrations and that was enough to convince the jury to acquit him of all charges. The young man listened attentively and fell to the ground crying, then ended up hugging one of his lawyers who was next to him.
Does Rittenhouse mock or smile at the verdict?
The shock and tears did not last long, because minutes later he was photographed by The Sun as he walked out of court smiling on Friday. The young man, found not guilty of killing two people, drove off in the back seat of a black Chevrolet Equinox as a free man.
Kyle Rittenhouse had been charged with five counts, including murder, attempted murder and reckless endangerment. All this after, in the summer of 2020, two people were killed and a third was injured when the young man opened fire with an AR-style semiautomatic rifle at a crowd protesting police violence against African Americans.
A racism problem?
Rittenhouse, who is a former youth police cadet, could have been sentenced to life in prison if the jury found him guilty of first-degree manslaughter, the most serious charge he faced. The story was another and he was completely free. SEE THE IMAGE HERE.
The case of the young white man was deliberated for three and a half days by a jury with a white majority. As expected, the decision generated a reaction of discontent in the African-American community, which considered Rittenhouse guilty and hoped that justice would be done for the deaths of these two men.
"I defended myself"
During the trial, Rittenhouse claimed self-defense and in his statement to the jury he said: "I did nothing wrong. I defended myself". The young man sobbed as he told his version of the story, in which he said that he shot after Rosenbaum (one of the victims) chased him and took his gun. The young man added that he was afraid that his rifle would also be taken from him to kill him.
He also recalled that Huber (the second victim) had hit him on the head and neck with a skateboard; while he shot Grosskreutz after he drew his pistol and pointed it at Rittenhouse. Based on this story and supported by a video, Rittenhouse based his defense.
Demonstrations and discontent
Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder, who presided over the trial against Rittenhouse, before firing them, told jurors that the court would take "all steps" to ensure their safety. The protests over the final verdict irritated hundreds of citizens, but also some leaders who considered the decision unfair.
"Over the past few weeks, many have feared the outcome that we just witnessed," said Mandela Barnes, the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, who is black. "The presumption of innocence until proven guilty is what we should expect from our judicial system, but that standard does not always apply equally" and added "We have seen so many young black and brown men murdered, only to be tried posthumously, while the judge virtually demanded the innocence of Kyle Rittenhouse ".
Kamala Harris: "Much work remains to be done"
Photo: Facebook
"Today's verdict speaks for itself," Vice President Kamala Harris said of the decision in the Rittenhouse case. "I have spent most of my career working to make our criminal justice system more equitable. It is clear, there is still a lot of work to be done," she added.
The decision also ends up complicating the political landscape for President Biden, who now finds himself caught between Democrats outraged by the 'unfair' decision and Republicans seeking to exploit the Rittenhouse issue to delve into issues of racial injustice.
Biden vs. Trump
Unlike Kamala Harris, who expressed discomfort with the final jury decision, former President Trump defended the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, just a week after the young man killed two protesters and injured another during protests in Kenosha, in Wisconsin.
During a press conference at the White House, when he was still in office, Trump refused to convict Kyle Rittenhouse, who on August 25 showed up in Kenosha armed with an assault rifle to patrol with a group of armed militiamen and coordinated with the Police, and that killed two protesters in addition to injuring a third.
Trump's opinion
PHOTO Twitter
"We are evaluating that, but you saw the same video as me and he was trying to get away from them (the protesters), I guess, and he fell and they attacked him very violently. They probably would have killed him, "Trump responded to the question of why he doesn't convict Rittenhouse.
Protests broke out in Kenosha in 2020 after a white police officer fired seven shots at African-American Jacob Blake, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. George Floyd's previous story also added fuel to the fire of those who demonstrated against police rudeness against African Americans.
A video for your defense
A video of the incident shows Kyle Rittenhouse running into a Kenosha parking lot, pursued by a 36-year-old white man identified as Joseph Rosenbaum, who threw what appears to be a plastic bag but failed to hit the teenager, who later hit him. shot at least five times and killed him. Rittenhouse was on the run as protesters demanded to arrest him because he had shot Rosenbaum, at which point the teenager fell and then pointed the rifle at those who were pursuing him, who tried to disarm him.
One of the protesters, 26-year-old white man Anthony Huber, tried to hit Rittenhouse with his skateboard to take the gun from him, but the teenager shot him in the chest and killed him, before wounding a third protester, Gaige, in the arm. Grosskreutz, who was carrying a pistol, according to court documents. Kyle Rittenhouse leaves court 'smiling' after unexpected verdict.

Annotated Bibliography on Physical Models in Sedimentology
Review articles on physical modeling - general
Paola, C.P., 2000, Quantitative models of sedimentary basin filling, Sedimentology, Vol. 47, pp 121-178.
This article provides a solid rationale for the role that physical models can play in (a) calibrating numerical models of sedimentary basin filling and (b) developing insights into the controls on sedimentary basin architecture. It also provides a succinct summary of the history of both physical and quantitative models. The article ends with a specific example from the first (1996) experimental run in a prototype XES Basin and relates this experiment to quantitative models of basin filling.
Hooke, R.L., 1968, Model geology: prototype and laboratory streams: discussion: Geological Society of America, Bulletin, Vol. 79, p. 391–394.
Roger Hooke's early paper lays out one of the most clear rationales for why we use physical modeling in geomorphology (and, by extension, sedimentology and stratigraphy). This paper is short, intelligible, and makes a strong case against those that critique physical modeling based on alleged "scaling problems."
Peakall, J., Ashworth, P., and Best, J., 1996, Physical modelling in fluvial geomorphology: Principles, applications and unresolved issues, in: Rhoads, B.L., and Thorn, C.E., eds., The Scientific Nature of Geomorphology: Chichester, U.K., John Wiley & Sons, p. 221–253.
One might view this article as a more up-to-date and comprehensive version of Hooke's article.
Articles centered on specific XES-Basin experiments
Sheets, B.A.; Hickson, T.A., and Paola, C.P., 2002, Assembling the stratigraphic record: depositional patterns and time-scales in an experimental alluvial basin, Basin Research, Vol 14, pp 1-15.
Sheets et al. (2002) serves as a good example of how data from the XES Basin can be used to unravel issues surrounding sedimentary basin filling, particularly the geological and geomorphological timescales that are significant in determining the stratal architecture of a sedimentary basin. The article links surface geomorphological data from the 1999 XES run to specific aspects of the alluvial architecture.
Hickson, T.A.; Sheets, B.A.; Paola, C.P.; and Kelberer, M., 2005, Experimental test of tectonic controls on three-dimensional alluvial facies architecture, Journal of sedimentary research, Vol. 75, pp 694-706.
Like Sheets et al. (2002) this article uses data from the 1999 XES Basin experiment to quantitatively test so-called Leeder, Allen, Bridge (LAB) models that predict the behavior of alluvial channels and their stratal signatures under conditions of differential subsidence. It is a good example of how XES Basin data can be used to gain deeper insight into the controls on stratal architecture, particularly focusing on the effects of changes in both subsidence geometry and subsidence rate. It also demonstrates the fundamental linkage between geomorphic process and alluvial architecture.
Kim, W., Paola, C., Voller, V.R., and Swenson , J.B., 2006, Experimental measure of the relative importance of controls on shoreline migration, Journal of Sedimentary Research, Vol. 76, doi:10.2110/jsr.2006.019.
This article explores the results of the XES Basin experiment that forms the basis for the exercise provided here (the effects of slow versus fast base level changes and superimposed base level cycles). It focuses on the controls on shoreline position in the stratigraphic record and makes firm link between physical and numerical modeling.
General articles and sources on facies, facies models, and sequence stratigraphy
Walker, R.G. and James, N.P., 1992, Facies Models: response to sea level change, Geological Association of Canada, 454 p.
This classic text provides an excellent resource for students when they are trying to compile facies models for the XES Basin project example that I have compiled here. It also provides a solid grounding in the fundamental controls on sedimentary basin filling, the facies concept, and depositional systems.
Van Wagoner, J.C.; Mitchum, R.M.; Campion, K.M.; and Rahmanian, V.D., 1990, Siliciclastic sequence stratigraphy in well logs, cores, and outcrops: concepts for high-resolution correlation of time and facies, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Methods in Exploration Series, No. 7, Tulsa, OK, 55 p.
This short book is, to me, the most succinct and clear explication of sequence stratigraphic principles and concepts that's out there (others will certainly disagree). However, I feel that it is one of the fundamental sources on sequence stratigraphy and should be used as the definitive source with respect to terminology, fundamental concepts, and the utility of sequence stratigraphy in stratigraphic correlation.

These Are The 10 Murder Capitals Of South Carolina For 2019
These are the places in South Carolina where people were killed most often, according to the latest FBI numbers.
November 5, 2018 - 18,075 views
Do you live in one of the murder capitals of South Carolina?
So we wanted to get the facts straight and dug into the FBI crime data in order to identify the places with the most murders and the highest murder rates per capita in South Carolina.
The result is the 10 Murder Capitals of the Palmetto State for 2019:
North Charleston (Photos)
Myrtle Beach (Photos)
Florence (Photos)
Gaffney (Photos)
Darlington (Photos)
Rock Hill (Photos)
Hardeeville (Photos)
Sumter (Photos)
Dillon (Photos)
Marion (Photos)
The city with highest murder rate in South Carolina? That would be Darlington with 32.8 murders per 100,000 people.
While the city with highest number of murders period? North Charleston with 35.
Read on below to see how we crunched the numbers and how your town ranked. There were 'only' 29 cities in South Carolina where a city reported a murder to the FBI, meaning 29 places had no murder.
If you're curious, here are the places in South Carolina which had the least murder chances for its residents, based on population: Mauldin, Cayce, Beaufort, Mount Pleasant, Orangeburg.

Johnathan Johnson says:
Who doing the reporting? Bc I went to 3 funerals in the month of December alone in Huntsville SC….. I know they had at least 8 murders in 2018….and so far in 2019 it's been 3….they really got the data wrong….. The numbers are way off for the city of Florence as well….. It's sad around those parts…
Correction hartsville sc
Jack Mehoff says:
Are we still going to pretend that all cultures are the same? Cross reference the murder stats with demographics & you have your answer as to why the outrageous level of violence exists in certain "communities".
But we'll all just keep pretending that "diversity is our strength".
Samantha Miles says:
Wow, first off I agree that whoever does the reporting needs a new method because that list don't even look right and I live in West Columbia, but I'd also like to add that the same ones compiling lists and statistics for the crime rate so they can supposedly come up with a effective method of making "communities" better actually have to attempt to do so. However the system was built the way it is to keep the ones on top on top and making money because that's what it's really about and the worst part is that we as a whole….as in ONE whole human race have been conditioned since birth to fall into that cycle and/or believe it to really be what it's said it is….wake up. Then question if you were brought up in a community that didn't figure out how to make the proper and correct support and resources to help develop the people of your community to be the strength that absolutely can be found in diversity obtainable, without any other underlying selfish greedy motive, then what do you really expect from that community that hasn't been given any room to thrive and instead been placed in a cycle that perpetuates violence, and for most, it's only a way to survive day to day……so don't blame communities based on the majority of a ethnicity, race, poverty level within it as the problem, that's the effect, the problem is people who are supposed to be backing that community are only backing it into a corner.
Heather Brownfield says:
1 in Beaufort!? I can count 3 in the last 3 months. Where are you getting your information from. It's wrong.


TORONTO, July 17 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar fell to its lowest close this week against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, as oil prices declined, giving a boost to the greenback.
Bond prices fell along with the larger U.S. market in response to some solid U.S. data and a rally in equities.
The Canadian dollar closed at C$1.0068 to the U.S. dollar, or 99.32 U.S. cents, down from C$1.0022 to the U.S. dollar, or 99.78 U.S. cents, at Wednesday's close.
The currency hung around parity with the greenback for much of the day, rising above the level several times, but then backed off after a sharp drop in oil prices.
Canada is a major oil producer, and much of the Canadian dollar's 60 percent climb between 2002 and 2008 was linked to rising oil prices, although that link has diminished recently, as high oil prices are now viewed as a threat to global growth.
In the United States, high oil prices have been blamed for both weaker growth and higher inflation, so it was not surprising to see the U.S. dollar gain some steam as oil prices fell, said said Steve Butler, director of foreign exchange at Scotia Capital.
"It certainly feels like, as oil is coming off, it's taking the heat off of the U.S. in general," he said.
The central bank said soaring oil prices will temporarily push Canada's headline inflation to an above-target peak of 4.3 percent early next year. It added that core inflation, which strips out volatile prices like energy and food, would stay within the the bank's 1 percent to 3 percent target range.
The bank also said the commodity boom is more of a positive than a negative for Canada's economy.
Bond prices tracked the U.S. market lower after stronger than expected data on the U.S. housing and job markets, taking some of the safe-haven bid out of government debt.
"Also, the (bond) market was taking its cue from the equity markets, and in particular, the relief about some of the financial earnings," said Mark Chandler, fixed income strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
Earnings from the third-largest U.S. bank, JP Morgan (JPM.N), beat market expectations and helped extend a rally in financial stocks sparked by strong results from Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) on Wednesday. That boosted the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while the Toronto Stock Exchange closed as softer oil prices dragged down energy issues.
On the domestic data front, Statistics Canada said foreign purchases of Canadian securities rose in May to C$10.72 billion, the highest level since the C$11.75 billion recorded in November 2006, as nonresidents invested heavily in bonds.
The two-year bond fell 13 Canadian cents to C$101.10 to yield 3.135 percent. The 10-year bond slid 47 Canadian cents to C$103.73 to yield 3.792 percent.
The yield spread between the two-year and 10-year bond was 65.7 basis points, down from 66.2 basis points.
The 30-year bond lost 65 Canadian cents to C$114.10 for a yield of 4.156 percent. In the United States, the 30-year treasury yielded 4.634 percent.

In this authoritative and engrossing full-scale biography, Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Einstein and Steve Jobs, shows how the most fascinating of America's founders helped define our national character.
Benjamin Franklin is the founding father who winks at us, the one who seems made of flesh rather than marble. In a sweeping narrative that follows Franklin's life from Boston to Philadelphia to London and Paris and back, Walter Isaacson chronicles the adventures of the runaway apprentice who became, over the course of his eighty-four-year life, America's best writer, inventor, media baron, scientist, diplomat, and business strategist, as well as one of its most practical and ingenious political leaders. He explores the wit behind Poor Richard's Almanac and the wisdom behind the Declaration of Independence, the new nation's alliance with France, the treaty that ended the Revolution, and the compromises that created a near-perfect Constitution.
In this colorful and intimate narrative, Isaacson provides the full sweep of Franklin's amazing life, showing how he helped to forge the American national identity and why he has a particular resonance in the twenty-first century.
