Q: How to remove "left" value bootstrap popover I need to remove the "left" value of bootstrap popovers. How do I do that?
I don't need to add margin or change the left value in CSS, but only remove it (please inspect element to see it, it's certainly being added by bootstrap.js or tooltip.js ).
Example of popover: http://jsfiddle.net/KyleMit/VUZhL/
The code below belongs to bootstrap.js and it's about tooltips/popovers.
function b(b) {
    return this.each(function() {
        var d = a(this),
            e = d.data("bs.tooltip"),
            f = "object" == typeof b && b;
        (e || "destroy" != b) && (e || d.data("bs.tooltip", e = new c(this, f)), "string" == typeof b && e[b]())
    })
}

A: Actually I recommend you do this in CSS.
.popover {

    left: auto !important;

}

If you change base codes of bootstrap or tooltip.js with any update you have to remove it again and again.

Expansive exhibit highlights Houston's quiet but vital role during Civil War
By Chris Gray, Houston Chronicle

Civil War buffs traditionally don't give Houston much consideration.
An estimated 90,000 Texans served in the Confederate army between 1861 and 1865, including now-famous figures such as Ben McCulloch, Albert Sidney Johnston and John Bell Hood. But most of the action, battle-wise, was back East.
As for battles in Texas, itself, the fighting was largely concentrated along the coast and on the frontier, where troops had two main duties: keep the Native Americans at bay, and act as a sort of vanguard for Confederate leaders' expansionist (and ultimately fruitless) designs on New Mexico.
There simply wasn't enough going on here to merit much in the way of newspaper headlines or, in later generations, historian interest.
Or so it would seem.
The city's presumptively minor role in the war is even echoed in the title of The Heritage Society's current exhibition, "Dumped and Forgotten Below the Milam Street Bridge: Houston In the Civil War," on display through Aug. 4, at the society's museum in Sam Houston Park.
IN 1959: How one Houston principal took action to keep her students safe in a changing world
The underlying theme, explains Collections Curator Ginger Berni, is to counter the common perception that the Civil War was inconsequential to the city — "just some sort of inconvenient blip in our history," she says.
"Sure, we didn't have big battles. It's not like (in) South Carolina" — where she went to school before joining The Heritage Society in 2002 — "but it did happen here; it did affect the people living here. And I hope people walk away (from the exhibit) understanding how it affected people here in Houston."
That affect was wide. Slaves loaded cargo onto Gulf-bound ships docked in Buffalo Bayou; with coffee in short supply, citizens choked down a substitute brewed from burnt okra or corn; Confederate officers were quartered in downtown's finest hotels; and schools and convents were converted into field hospitals.
In fact, "Dumped and Forgotten" shows how the war affected almost every avenue of life in Houston.
A lot of stories
Houston was nearly 25 years old when Texas seceded from the Union in March 1861.
Though no longer the state capital, it was already a burgeoning railroad hub and commercial center. After secession, the city quickly became a strategic and administrative focal point of the Confederacy's Trans-Mississippi region. Weapons, ammunition, uniforms, and other wartime necessities were manufactured here to be distributed throughout the Gulf Coast and beyond. Houston's population almost doubled by the war's end, thanks to the influx of residents and businesses from Galveston — then Texas's largest city — and other coastal communities.
In the exhibit, a model of a sleek, double-masted steamship represents one of Texas's main contributions to the Confederacy: the blockade-runners. Hundreds of steamers and schooners were piloted by enterprising (and perhaps foolhardy) adventurers attempting to thwart the Union's so-called "Anaconda Plan," the ring of U.S. naval vessels standing between Texas and British-controlled safe ports like Havana and Bermuda. Stakes were high on both sides; in 1864, the contents of one captured cotton freighter were auctioned in New Orleans for $100,000.
Some boats sailed straight down Buffalo Bayou to downtown Houston, but Galveston was especially crucial to the blockade-runners. Apart from a brief interlude in late 1862 — Confederates recaptured it on New Year's Day 1863, in the somewhat farcical Battle of Galveston — the city was the lone Confederate port to remain unoccupied during the war.
Other merchants, like shipping/cotton mogul and future Rice University namesake William Marsh Rice, found other ways to get their goods to market. "(Rice) got his cotton to come down from Texas to Mexico and ship out that way, so he could continue to make loads and loads of money," Berni says. "We have some original letters that he wrote from Mexico to his business partners.
"This exhibit really has a lot of stories to tell."
A few are especially amusing. Just outside the museum entrance sits a long gun known as "Fort Humbug." It's carved completely out of wood, which would no doubt be lost on any stray Union boats who happened to wander up Buffalo Bayou.
Some artifacts on display are on loan from the museum at the San Jacinto Monument; others — buttons, bottles, crockery, a doctored pair of "cheater's dice" — come from an ongoing Houston Archaeological Society dig at Frost Town, near the present-day George R. Brown Convention Center (the outskirts of town in those days). A captured Union battle flag and B-flat clarinet share one case; another contains a saber, scabbard and ultra-rare Dragoon-style revolver made by the Dance brothers of Brazoria County.
Other panels illuminate the histories of Camp Groce, a Union P.O.W. camp near Hempstead or "Sam Houston In Exile," wherein the pro-union hero of San Jacinto is forced to resign as governor when Texas secedes, then watches his son's Confederate regiment drilling on Galveston Island. Even George A. Custer was stationed near Hempstead just after the war's end, ordered to put down any trouble from recalcitrant Confederates.
Then there's Emma Seelye, a Canadian-born woman who eventually settled in the La Porte area with her family, but before that had enlisted in the Union army as a man and supposedly carried out several espionage missions behind Confederate lines — as a woman. She even qualified for a Union pension.
"She's buried here in Houston," Berni says.

And "Dumped and Forgotten" faces the era's dominant issue head-on and as matter-of-factly as possible, presenting slavery as part of urban life just as it was in the rural South. Houston's slaves were employed on military projects like building new entrenchments and rail lines after the Battle of Galveston; in the households of William Marsh Rice and other wealthy local citizens; or in large-scale operations like the port on Buffalo Bayou.
In the exhibit, elderly, former slaves speak for themselves in field recordings made in the 1930s as part of the WPA's Federal Writer's Project. Near a newspaper carrying the June 1865 announcement officially ending slavery in Texas lies a Bible belonging to the Rev. Jack Yates, the former slave who became a minister and leader in Houston's African American community. His descendants donated the house he built in nearby Freedman's Town (aka Fourth Ward) to the society; it now sits around the corner from the museum.
But even more powerful is a case featuring Confederate currency next to a slave contract and bill of sale which notes each slave's price and skin color ("mulatto," "yellow," etc.). In shockingly blunt language to modern eyes, a nearby newspaper advertisement lists about 40 slaves for sale according to their name, age, and distinguishing features.
"I think rather than me giving a whole lot of interpretation, seeing the real thing is like a punch in the face," Berni says.
Real ammunition
The centerpiece of "Dumped and Forgotten" is a collection of recovered munitions and other scrap metal — cannonballs, shells, hooks, even part of a music stand — dredged up from Buffalo Bayou in July 1968. The story of how these artifacts wound up on display is almost as fascinating as the exhibit itself.
It's thought that this material wound up in the bayou because with the end of the Confederacy approaching, whomever it belonged to (manufacturers, quartermasters, or city officials; theories vary) decided they were better off getting rid of it than letting it fall into the wrong hands. Eventually it was all but forgotten, but not at first.
From time to time, when the bayou was low, especially daring Houstonians would go on foraging missions that sometimes had deadly consequences. In Feb.1867, two ill-fated partners in a tinning business found a shell in the bayou and brought it to one of their houses. The detonator cap exploded after they started fooling with it, killing both men.
Years later the artifacts — more than 1,000 in all — were recovered by the Southwestern Historical Exploration Society and showed up briefly at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and then sat in limbo, eventually landing at The Heritage Society around 1986.
According to Berni, the collection took up about 25 LP record-style boxes labeled "archaeology" in the society's storage area. Not that long ago, she mentioned it at a meeting with someone from the Texas Historical Commission, and then to the Houston Archaeological Society. Both organizations were thrilled.
"They just went 'wooooooooow!'," she says.
"It could have been nothing, but I was just so happy that it was something."

I'm so pleased to be a guest on Mary Tod's wonderful blog A Writer of History.
With recent press on the dangers of cultural appropriation, Ruth Hull Chatlien provides readers and writers with an interesting and thoughtful perspective. Ruth's latest novel, Blood Moon – A Captive's Tale, released this week.
The moment I heard about Sarah Wakefield's experiences as a captive during the deadly Dakota War of 1862, I knew I had to tell her story.


In one of the neatest events held yet Kylmala Truss, of Saginaw Minnesota, recently held an open house event to showcase EPITOME basement walls to their builder network. Pictured here Keith Kylmala, presents the numerous features and corresponding benefits to the building community of the greater twin ports, not the least of which was how easily they could exceed the energy code requirements, for the State of Hockey, in one easy step. What's more how each builder could now provide their homeowners with a more livable and useful lower level, one that's so comfortable and condensation free it feels like the first floor!


It's Monday again! This Monday hasn't started off to be the greatest since the Polar Vortex PART 2 is here! It hit us once and now it's back. Totally unfair! I mean just check out what the Weather Channel says!
* WINDS TODAY... WEST 15 TO 20 MPH... GUSTS UP TO 25 TO 30 MPH.
* WIND CHILL VALUES... 15 TO 30 BELOW THIS AFTERNOON. 25 BELOW TO 40 BELOW ZERO TONIGHT THROUGH MID TUESDAY MORNING. AS COLD AS 30 BELOW ZERO TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY.
* OTHER IMPACTS... BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED BRIEF NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN OPEN AND RURAL AREAS THIS AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY EVENING. SOME ROADS IN OPEN AND RURAL AREAS MAY BECOME PARTIALLY DRIFTED OVER.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A WIND CHILL WARNING MEANS THE WIND WILL COMBINE WITH VERY COLD AIR TO CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.
Yep, they snow blow the sidewalks, but do you see how much builds up? You can't even see the curbs! This has been here for a while, and I'm sure it's not going anywhere anytime soon! Poor Ginny has to try to go out in snow that is the same height as she is! And she is refusing to use a puppy pad indoors. She'll just hold it forever! I don't know if there are any tricks to making them use the pads other than putting it by the front door... I'm all ears if you have an idea!
1. Get the new camera strap designs sewed and listed! I currently offer the camera strap covers, which offers more padding for the strap that comes with the camera (at my Etsy store here) But my strap often gets twisted around and so I came up with a new strap design that is awesome! I can't wait to show you guys! Still have to do these, but I have chosen the fabrics and hardware, just have to put them together! I'm happy to report- these are in production! Post about them coming soon! Still haven't gotten these together completely. Bah Humbug!
2. Dwindle said craft supplies to what I actually use, and sell the rest on the Etsy store. I don't need most of this, and will probably never use it, so my goal is to bundle up the surplus and sell it. It will eliminate most of the clutter... hopefully! After organizing everything into the new dresser, I have made a list of what needs to be sold, just need to pull it out and list it. Hey, it's like it's half done right? RIGHT! These supplies will be in the Etsy store this week! So excited to de-clutter! Nope, not done. Probably will be on here next week, folks.
4. (Yes, I'm going to keep putting it on here until they are done) FINISH THE QUILTS! I HAVE to finish these quilts as soon as possible! I feel like they are sitting here mocking me! I will never again put the stress of quilting 6 quilts in 2 months again! Well, actually we are working on the 3rd month now, but you get the idea! No progress on this one. I know, I know, I'm sick of seeing it on here as well! This week, folks. Buckle Down! I've finished 1 whole quilt, putting the finishing touches on another so that it should be done tomorrow, put together a quilt top- now just need to quilt it together, and then cut all fabric for the quilt top of another. By the grace of God alone these quilts are getting done because I'm very much over them! :) Aunt duties! THIS IS ALMOST DONE!!! I've completed 3 quilts and have 1 left to do! Praise the Lord, they're almost done! I should get the last one finished this week & don't worry, these puppies will probably get their very own post!
5. Dive into my Beth Moore study: Breaking Free. Last week, maybe it was the week before, I shared on Facebook the link to get 16 Beth Moore e-books for free. I hope you guys like my Facebook and saw this, or saw it somewhere else and got them! I couldn't wait to get in there and dive in! The first book I've started is her Breaking Free book, it's awesome and I'm only to Chapter 2! Getting my daily prayer time in at 6:30- which includes a chapter of this book, some bible study relating to the chapter I read of this book. After that comes prayer time, and lastly journaling time. It's pretty nice to start your day with God's word in your brain and to download into your journal before the day's stresses can get to you! It's certainly helped me tons lately!
How are you guys coping with cabin fever during the Polar Vortex Part 2? I need suggestions!
Visiting from Weekly Wishes. I am so over this cold! It does not motivate me at all to do anything but hide under a blanket.
I agree that mornings are a great time to delve into the word as it makes the rest of the day brighter. Have a great week with your goals!
i feel so bad for everyone dealing with this snow! my family is in northern michigan (im from there too) so i know what its like! stay warm!!!!
Oh my goodness! This is my first winter OUT of the snow and I am so so grateful as my family sends me pictures of the snow on our front yard! It's a good time to get some good reading and crafting done though!
Good for you. Keep putting the same stuff on your list until you get it all crossed off. That's what you have to do. Hold yourself accountable. And I know all about that snow. Its horrible here. I hate it.
I'm so over winter!! I was hoping for my work to be closed again tomorrow but it's looking like that's not going to happen eep!
Ahh I need to go through all my craft supplies too..it's just such a daunting task!
Yeesshhh! Good luck to you! You're in my thoughts-keep warm!!
This snow is crazy! I'm so glad that I'm missing it this year. It's still cold here, but nothing like what's going on back home!
that shot is awesome! So much snow - just want to roll around in it!! Stay warm!!!

LAS ANIMAS COUNTY
Boasting a population of just under 15,000, Las Animas county is a borderland between Colorado's jutting mountains and picture-perfect plains in the southeastern portion of Colorado. The county takes its name from the Spanish name of the Purgatoire River, originally called El Río de las Ánimas Perdidas en el Purgatorio, which means "River of the Lost Souls in Purgatory."
Truly a geographic frontier, this county has a total area of 4,775 square miles, making it the largest county in Colorado (by area). The bustling city of Trinidad is the county seat and is one of the most preserved, historic downtowns in Colorado. Recently, it has undergone a dramatic resurgence with the opening of Colorado's 42nd state park—Fishers Peak— and the renowned Art Cartopia Museum. Come and meet the people who put the "heart" into the Corazon de Trinidad before you head out to explore the rest of the county.
Drive the Highway of Legends National Scenic Byway to see eye-popping geological wonders like Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary at Trinidad Lake State Park and the Spanish Peaks' radial dykes. Enjoy a laid-back game of golf on Las Animas County's historical course (est. 1915) or a stroll along the Purgatoire Riverwalk. Las Animas' mesas, mountains, rivers, and lakes also yield an abundance of recreational opportunities for hunting, hiking, cycling, fishing, and more.
Jump off the I-25 interstate and explore Las Animas County!
Of Interest – Starting in 1969, Trinidad, Colorado, was the destination of choice for thousands of transgender people seeking gender affirming surgery and the Transgender Center of the Rockies is still in operation.

Реза́нов Афана́сий Дми́триевич (ок. 1542—ок. 1592 г.) — московский дворянин, посол русских царей Ивана Васильевича и Федора Ивановича

Биография
Родился в семье Дмитрия Резанова, дьяка Решетчатого Приказа в Новгороде Великом.

6-го марта 1580 года по поручению царя Ивана Грозного был отправлен к Рудольфу II с дипломатической миссией подготовки заключения союза двух держав против турецкого султана. Император должен был на основе заключенных ещё с его отцом Максимилианом II договоренностей выслать в Москву полномочных послов для заключения наступательного союза.

Из-за военного положения на границе с Польшей Резанов получил «опасные» грамоты для того, чтобы попасть в Вену через Данию и немецкие государства, в том числе и через Саксонию. Однако император находился в Праге, а не в Вене и русский посол сократил свой путь, оказавшись на императорском приеме в Праге 28-го сентября.

Резанов принял от Рудольфа уверения в дружбе с русским царем и извинения в задержке послов. Письменный ответ на царской грамоте Резанов привез в Москву 26-го марта 1581 года.

20-го января 1588 года царь Федор Иванович снова направил Резанова к императору Рудольфу. Поручение было в переговорах о судьбе польского престола. Резанов от имени царя должен был добиться согласия императора утвердить новым польским королём либо русского кандидата, либо австрийского, игнорируя выбор польской шляхты в пользу представителя шведской династии.

26-го апреля 1592 года Резанов ездил гонцом теперь в Варшаву, к польскому королю Сигизмунду III, с претензией на действия поляков, захвативших Велижскую область, на которой один из панов радных (Вишневецкий) успел построить город Лубны. Король в ответ заявил, что Велиж давно принадлежит Польше. Резанов также известил короля о рождении у царя Федора дочери Феодосии.

We are pleased to announce that the 12 finalists for the 4th edition of The Writer competition have been selected! The Writer competition is an online, "reality" writing competition for young creative writers in Africa.
The call for entries for this year's edition was announced in February and over 3,000 submissions were received. The writers showed great creativity of thought with themes spanning current affairs, religion, relationships, science fiction and the paranormal.
These were the writers who showed the highest creativity of story, the highest quality of writing and the ability to tell as complete a story as possible, within the short 300-word limit.
The 12 finalists will battle it out online for four weeks starting from the 12th of May, writing stories that the judges and the general public will vote on. Each week, writers will be eliminated until only one winner emerges, to become "The Writer 2016"! The winner will walk away with N200,000 while the two runners up will receive N150,000 and N100,00 respectively plus an opportunity to be published in an anthology put together by The Naked Convos.
We say huge congratulations to the finalists and let the competition begin! May the best writer win!


In a world of Yelps andsnarky corporate Twitter accounts, it's easier than ever to interact with companies. But as far as getting companies to respond — well, occasionally it feels like you're talking to a brick wall. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.
A recent study of more than 1,000 U.S. adults found that 85 percent of respondents said they believe organizations value their feedback, but paradoxically only 40 percent believed their feedback would have any impact. Two-thirds said the organization had either ignored their feedback or acknowledged it but took no action as a result.

Readout: Secretary Walsh tours Alabama's Spanish Fort Water System, discusses department's efforts to protect workers from heat-related hazards
WASHINGTON – Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh today toured a treatment facility operated by the Spanish Fort Water System, an Alabama water utility company, to highlight efforts by the department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration to protect workers from heat-related hazards in the workplace.
Company leaders explained their operations and the types of heat-related hazards their workers face. They also discussed their involvement in OSHA's on-site consultation program, and the process for developing and implementing a heat illness prevention plan.
"Extreme heat hazards aren't limited to outdoor occupations, the seasons or geography. Heat illness presents a growing hazard for millions of workers," said Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. "This enforcement program will immediately improve enforcement and compliance efforts when it comes to extreme heat, while continuing our long-term work towards a heat illness rule."
"While it's an employer's responsibility to keep workers safe, it's also critical that workers know the signs of heat illness and what to do in an emergency," Secretary Walsh added. "Through this work, we're also empowering workers with knowledge of their rights, especially the right to speak up about their safety without fear of retaliation."
OSHA will hold a public stakeholder meeting May 3, 2022, to discuss the agency's ongoing activities to protect workers from heat-related hazards, including the Heat Illness Prevention Campaign, compliance assistance activities and enforcement efforts.

Maybe He's Not the Kind of Cynic I Hoped He Was
It is common, I suspect, to imagine that we agree with our friends about nearly everything. Learning that a friend likes a particular kind of music or food or sport can be jarring. If I were to tell my friends tomorrow that I am secretly a big fan of, say, NASCAR racing or polka concerts or post-modern dance, I daresay that they would be surprised. And for good reason. Even though we have never talked about these things, my friends have good reason to think that they know me well enough to predict my views on such matters.
Applied to politicians, this phenomenon suggests that we imagine "our guy" to hold the same core set of beliefs that we hold. Even clear evidence to the contrary can be studiously ignored, such as the Religious Right's adoration of Ronald Reagan despite his non-attendance at religious services and his administration's failure to deliver on the fundamentalist Christian social agenda -- or to a large degree even to try to do so. (Yes, his judicial appointments were conservative, but they included a fair number of judges who were business conservatives with no religious zeal. They were nothing like the Bush II judges.) Once religious conservatives had become convinced that Reagan was their guy, it no longer seemed to matter what he did.
Among liberals, there must surely be a similar type of cognitive defense at work. Late in the 2004 Presidential campaign, John Kerry went hunting; and even though I strongly believe that hunting is immoral and disgusting, my response was simply to shrug. Kerry obviously thought he had to make a show of being a Regular Guy, and I could confidently imagine that he was as disgusted by the display as I was. I was certain that, once in office, Kerry's decisions would not be guided by the views of the voters whom he was so cynically trying to court. (This example is particularly memorable, of course, because it was so transparent. Everyone viewed it as insincere and obviously calculated.) He could not say publicly that he favored strong gun control, and as President he might not even make public moves in that direction, but at least I could feel confident that his administration would not move in the wrong direction.
Certainly the same phenomenon applied to many of the members of the Senate who voted for the resolution to authorize the invasion of Iraq. Kerry's supporters in 2004, and Hillary Clinton's in 2008, tied themselves in knots trying to justify their candidate's votes, when everyone knew the real explanation: Kerry, Clinton, Edwards, and others had made a nakedly political calculation that they could not be viable presidential candidates if they were seen as soft on terrorism. By the end of the 2004 campaign, even I had managed to suspend reality enough to believe Kerry's explanation for his vote.
Which brings us back to religion. As an atheist, I have always found it easy to imagine that shows of piety from the politicians I support are purely for show. It is relatively easy to go to church on a regular basis and to make sure that the public knows about it. The controversy over Obama's former minister in Chicago thus seemed especially absurd to me, because it seemed that Obama's presidential candidacy was being threatened by having chosen the wrong fig leaf to cover his secret non- (or tepid) religiosity. He probably was not an out-and-out atheist, but I imagined that his ties to churches were more a matter of political necessity than anything else.
When the controversy over the fundamentalist minister Rick Warren erupted prior to Obama's inauguration, my angry denunciations (here, here, and here) were ultimately rooted in my sense that this was all politically calculated and that Obama was being more accommodating to the Religious Right than was necessary to accomplish his political goals. If Obama wants to neutralize the Republicans' base, I thought, let him try; but be realistic about it and make sure that the quids and the quos add up. Inviting Warren to give the invocation on January 20 thus seemed like a naive negotiating strategy, given the low likelihood of any serious payoff and the effect that such a move had on Obama's pro-gay civil rights (and pro-science, and pro-choice) supporters. It also seemed to suggest that Obama was likely to give too much to the Warren crowd in the future.
Earlier this week, the editors of The New York Times expressed disappointment that Obama had failed to reverse one of President Bush's executive orders "authorizing religious-oriented recipients of federal funding to hire and fire on religious grounds." Obama the candidate had promised to extend Bush's so-called faith-based initiative, but he had promised to end religious discrimination in these programs. The Times thus rightly called Obama to task for breaking an important campaign promise.
This incident, at first glance, seemed to support my take on Obama and religion. He had made the political calculation that he could not be seen as anti-religion and had thus promised to continue a program that I oppose; but he had made that decision tolerable by promising to negate the worst aspects of Bush's program. Now, he was continuing his capitulation to the Warren crowd. Validation, no?
Maybe not. It is becoming at least equally plausible to conclude that Obama is actually religious in a way that goes beyond using organized religion as a stand-in for basic morality, that his moves are not political calculations designed to walk the very thin line between being politically viable and being committed to secularism in public policy making. Instead, he might have been counting on the secular left to believe that deep down he is one of us, and we are now learning to our dismay that he is not. In other words, I wanted and expected him to be a cynic, in exactly the way that any national politician must bow to certain expectations to be viable. It might turn out, though, that he was playing people like me rather than playing the religious crowd -- in other words, that he really does like polka. I feel so used.

A fairly accurate statement would be "Lyubov Orlova was doomed from the start". Her saga began in 1976. Cruise ship vacations gaining popularity – Russian interests built a modestly sized, lavish little ship, a ship destined for Arctic tourism; well healed Russians would surely jump at the chance to spend a week on ice. Built in Yugoslavia for Russian "Far East Shipping Company"; she was registered in the Soviet Union until 1992, from 1992 – 1999 – Russian registry, and finally from 1999 – 2013 in the Cook Islands. Refurbished in 1999 for Antarctic treks courtesy charters by Marine Expeditions, spruced up again in 2002 for charters under Quark Expeditions and Cruise North Charters. In 2006 she ran aground at Deception Island in Antarctica; towed free and capable of making her own way, thank you very much Spanish navy – it was September 2010 before she was noticed again. A point everyone seems to agree on – Canadian authorities seized her in St. Johns Newfoundland for monies owed to Cruise North over cancelled charters, and wages (now 5 months owed to a crew of 51) – an amount of US $251,000 in total.
She's been sitting derelict for 2 years in St. Johns, Transport Canada sells her for scrap,Neptune International Shipping makes the buy and hires a tug to tow her to the Dominican Republic. A day out of port, in strong winds and high seas – the line breaks. Rough seas thwart attempts by the tug boat crew to reattach the tow – the date was January 28, 2013. Canada assigns recovery to a supply vessel in the area – concerned about a possible collision with off shore oil rigs. Mission accomplished within a few days, oil rigs safe, and chugging for international waters.
Here's where it gets tricky – pay attention because this is the moment responsible for internet hysteria over a Russian ghost ship populated by disease ridden cannibalistic rats poised to slam into the coast of Ireland.
Clear of oil rigs, bobbing along in international waters – Transport Canada makes the decision to cut her loose. February 4, 2013; drifting north-east in international waters; Canada wipes its hands of Lyubov Orlova – taking the position her new owner was responsible now. On March 1, 2013 reports surface of transmissions from her emergency positioning beacon – designing to transmit only when submerged – position; 700 nautical miles off the Irish coast. That was the last time so much as a whiff of evidence indicated her position.
An article in today's National Post newspaper started with the headline "Five reasons Lyubov Orlova – and its cannibal rats – are at the bottom of the Atlantic". Good job Canada; sensible reporting, resisting a ride on the sensationalist band wagon, avoiding nonsense, maintaining integrity by being a voice of reason. Canada may have cut her adrift – one thing for certain; we didn't pack her with rats (well maybe a few – its unavoidable) and push her towards Ireland. Bottom line – she hasn't been seen in almost a year, its only 3000 nautical miles from St. John's to Ireland, emergency beacon was water activated 2 months later within 700 miles. If she's managed to put down anchor, avoid detection while allowing 10 months for rat populations to multiply to the point of cannibalism – that's some feat.
CNN lead with the headline "Apparently This Matters – A Ghost Ship With Cannibal Rats" An "Editor's Note" preceded Jarrett Bellini's article, advising he would apply his "warped sensibilities" to trending topics and random items of interest on the Web. Listen carefully Jarrett – I'm not saying this because you made fun of Canada, I'm saying this because you need to stop relying on that dog eared, soft cover "Satire for Dummies" school of journalism. You had an opportunity to fondle "cannibal rats infest Russian ghost ship" and your tiny little head thought this would be the knee slapper….
"Eventually, another Canadian ship was sent out to corral the wayward vessel in what can only be described as the slowest, crappiest, worst-attended rodeo of all time. But once captured, the Lyubov Orlova was safely hauled farther out to sea, away from Canadian oil rigs.
And then they just sort of cut it loose in international waters. Because, hey, what's the worst that could happen?
As for everyone else and the hundreds of diseased cannibal rats floating around the Atlantic?
To his credit "warped sensibilities" and Grade 9 slapstick took a nap long enough for Jarrett (though most likely his editor) to link to National Post's article.
The New York Daily News story was awesome. They claim the abandoned cruise ship filled with cannibal rats is headed for British shores.
That ought to sell a few papers! They mention the beacons, omit they need to be submerged, and forget to report no one has seen it for almost a year.
"An abandoned cruise liner teeming with inbred cannibal rats is adrift in the Atlantic Ocean and possibly about to run aground on Britain's coastline, according to a new report.
The Lyubov Orlova has been drifting east from Canadian waters since last year.
Newly detected beacons off the dilapidated vessel's rescue boats indicate it is was recently off the west coast of Scotland, raising concerns it could run ashore there, along the west coast of Ireland or the southern tip of England, according to The Sun.
Salvage hunters are keen to find the dilapidated 300-foot ghost ship that can carry 110 passengers because it is estimated to be worth nearly $1 million.
But once aboard, the scrappers will face unimaginable horror: a demented, disease-ridden population of rats that have been feeding on each other and breeding.
The Daily Mail, not content with cannibal rats – sweetened the pot with "inbreed", then focused on the safety of salvage dudes. Holy crap. I'm so tickled I'm going to tag this post "inbreed cannibal rats".
My head hurts; pondering cannibal rats a second longer will push me over the edge.

In my undergraduate quality control class we learned about the CUSUM control chart. I can use JMP to create the chart with V-mask. However, in our class textbook Montgomery also highlights the use of tabular CUSUM. My question is, how would I create a tabular CUSUM with JMP?
Hi! I have confirmed with our technical support that the tabular CUSUM report is not built as a native option into JMP. At the moment, the only tabular information you can obtain from a CUSUM chart is the one that is created when you click on the red triangle next to Control Chart and select Save Summaries. While this creates a data table with the cumulative sum at each sample, it does not contain the other information you may need.
We have submitted a suggestion that this type of report capability should be added to JMP in a future version.
In the meantime you can of course use formulas or scripts to calculate custom metrics.
Thanks for using JMP in your class!

This Sacramento-area city is paying homeless people to clean up camps — and it's paying off
Vincent Moleski
Elk Grove, California, United States
Residents experiencing homelessness in Elk Grove, California, are being paid to clean up their encampments. The job was done by public services employees prior to the pandemic and cost the city upwards of $10,000. Now, the city is saving money while providing residents with gift cards that allow them to purchase basic necessities such as hygiene products and food.

The city's success in providing homes for every single veteran formerly on their streets motivated cities across the nation to tackle the crises using similar means, leading to a 1/3 decline veteran homelessness since 2010.

South Dakota's "24/7 Sobriety" initiative breathalyzers tens of thousands of people every day in an effort to curb drunk driving. Rather than legislation that takes penalizes offenders by taking away their license, the state addresses the behavioral issue instead. In counties that use the "24/7 Sobriety," they've seen a 12% decrease in repeat drunken-driving arrests.


Recently, an E. coli outbreak sickened dozens of people in eleven states, causing the shut-down of forty-three locations of a major restaurant chain. Around the same time, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced a nationwide recall of approximately 167,427 pounds of ground beef products for suspected E. coli contamination. Rampant fear spanned across the country, causing paranoia and anxiety among millions.
In today's well-established, streamlined food processing and distribution industry, how do E. coli and other food-borne pathogens enter and spread in our food chains? What can we do to help improve food safety? With these questions in mind, I visited a large factory farm and a food processing center here in California. After some open-minded talks with the workers, I found some interesting facts which reveal vulnerabilities in the existing commercial food chain.
It's one of those busy school days. You are summoned up from bed by the alarm clock, barely having enough time to wash your face and brush your teeth before you rush to the school. You tell yourself and everyone: I do not have time for breakfast. When you get hungry in the later part of the morning, you gobble up a bag of potato chips while rushing between classrooms during the break. By lunch time, your stomach is full and you now do not have an appetite for lunch—the school lunch is not palatable anyway, plus you have club meetings at lunch time. You skip the lunch with perfect justifications.


Chemists and engineers working on further development and optimization of rubber compounds need characteristic values for large numbers of compound ingredients, as well as information about how these ingredients influence the processing operation and the properties of the vulcanized product.
Here, these characteristic values and their functional correlations are combined, offering a fundamental tool for the rubber engineer and processor.
The equations and calculation methods set out in this book, together with the various product tables, can be used to calculate influences on the property profile of compound systems.

The full patch notes for Rainbow Six: Siege February update has been release giving us a look at the kind of changes the developers will be making to the game this month.
While there is the usual bug fixing, it looks like this update will also be all about balancing things out for the Operators. After looking at the win rate of the Operators, the developer decided to make some changes. It was reported that Caveira had the highest win rate and that she is the most frustrating to play against which is why she will be gettng so much updates this time.
Other Operators like Clash will also be getting some major changes as Ubisoft are not that happy with the adjustment they amde the last time yet. This time, she will be buffed even more.
All other Operators will be updated as well. You can check out the full patch notes on their website to see what kind of changes will be made to the Operators.


Benton Police Department launched today a month-long traffic safety awareness campaign. "Alert Today, Alive Tomorrow" will include enhanced traffic enforcement with an emphasis on seat-belt use, speeding violations, DWIs, texting and driving and school zone violations. The city-wide campaign will run throughout May.
Chief Scotty Hodges noted that BNPD has been receiving numerous complaints about speeding across the city, which led to the development of this campaign.
"We have employed extra patrol and the radar trailer in several areas in an attempt to curb the repeat violations, but we're still receiving quite a few complaints, so we are stepping up our efforts over the next month to let the community know how seriously we take traffic safety," said Hodges.
He added that school zones, in particular, will be an area of concentration, with emphasis on distracted driving and speeding.
Additional campaign information will be available on BNPD social media sites throughout the month. For inquiries, contact BNPD at 501-776-5948 between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Just about everybody is getting ready for the big game this Sunday, and even if you aren't a big sports or football fan you're probably going to be watching Superbowl 48. This years match seems like it might be a little intense and is between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. For those of you who might not be in the know, the game is going to be on Sunday Feb 2nd at 3:30 PST. Unless you live in a bubble it might be pretty hard to miss.
At first I thought this game was going to be all about Peyton Manning dominating with offense and might not be too fun to watch. After all, he set some all time passing records this year and the Bronco's are the league's number one offense. Then I learned that the Seahawk's were the number one defense, and after reading a bit more it seems like we all might be in for a pretty good matchup.
Add to this fact that the game is going to be played outdoors in New Jersey where it has been extremely cold this year. Weather like that means anything can happen and leaves room for mistakes on both sides of the field. I don' think they are predicting any snow or nasty weather just yet, but it is definitely going to be cold.
Another thing I wanted to mention about this year's game is how every year things get more and more commercialized. I realize that the NFL has to make a buck and everything but what about the local business owners and shops around the NY and NJ area. There was an article in the New York Times that touched on this and frankly it was a little disappointing to read. Seems like there should be plenty to go around and is a shame how some local businesses fell left out. In a way it reminds me of the Olympics over the past years and how some cities end up spending more money than they actually take in when hosting a high profile event like this.


Anyone familiar with a loss of internet connection will attest to the absolute standstill of productivity it can cause, and in an office environment it can near spell disaster if not dealt with swiftly. With a view to counteracting this issue and possibly gearing up towards the shift to increasingly cellular technologies, the 2010 CES Show has seen Netgear unveil the Wireless-N 300 router with DSL Modem – Mobile Broadband Edition – or rather, the DGN 2200M.
In what will be the first commercially available router of its kind, the Netgear DGN2200M not only provides an 802.11n Wi-Fi connection but features a dual wide area network option for a failover 3G/4G/WiMAX mobile broadband connection should a DSL outage occur. Traffic is switched back once the ADSL line is reinstated and the backup no longer required. The mobile broadband connection can also be used as a primary Internet connection where no DSL or cable exists, and the router features auto detection capabilities that, depending on the user's country, automatically detect a cellular service and establish connections.
The CES Innovations Award winning Netgear DGN200M is set for release in April, set to cost USD$180. A lower priced model, the MBRN3000 is similar in specs however at USD$150 lacks the integrated DSL modem.
