Montgomery County road renamed for fallen State Trooper Jeremy VanNostrand
State Police: Memorial should encourage safety

TOWN OF AMSTERDAM -- Maple Avenue Extension was renamed Sgt. Jeremy VanNostrand Memorial Drive on Friday in a ceremony that honored the career of the trooper who was killed last year in a car crash.
Amsterdam Town Supervisor Tom DiMezza spoke at the ceremony. DiMezza said VanNostrand often spent time patrolling Maple Avenue Extension, driving to and from Town Hall. He said VanNostrand wrote tickets and made arrests in Amsterdam that helped to improve public safety for the residents of his town. He also spent some time in DiMezza's home, eating his wife's home cooked brownies.
"He was actually like a third son to me," DiMezza said. "He would often stop at the house, when they were taking a break or something and get a drink. My wife would have something to eat for the guys, because he worked with my son, my son's a trooper. I'd see him quite often. My wife used to make him brownies all of the time, but they'd never make it to his house. He'd eat them before he got home."
Maple Avenue Extension, a Montgomery County road, was renamed by order of Montgomery County Executive Matt Ossenfort. A purple sign with the New York State Police seal and "N.Y.S.P Sergeant Jeremy J. VanNostrand Memorial Drive" printed on it was unveiled during the ceremony. The sign was erected by county personnel, including Dave Soulia, under the direction of County Highway Commissioner Eric Mead.
Montgomery County Sheriff Jeff Smith blocked off the road to allow for the memorial ceremony. VanNostrand's widow, Angela VanNostrand, and his parents, Andrew VanNostrand and Julia Brockhum, attended. Father Robert DeMartinis gave an opening prayer.
VanNostrand, who was 36 when he died, was killed on Nov. 27, 2018 when he arrived for work at 7:45 a.m. outside of the town of Glen state police barracks where he worked. He was driving his personal vehicle, a Nissan Altima and was stopped in the westbound lane, waiting to turn into the station when he was rear-ended by a box truck and pushed into the oncoming lane, state police have said. VanNostrand's vehicle was then hit by a pickup truck that was headed east.
State police Maj. Robert Patnaude was VanNostrand's commanding officer. He said there is still an ongoing criminal investigation into the circumstances of the accident, but the general public can still learn a lesson from the incident.
"His death was 100 percent preventable, if the driver would have just been focused on driving instead of other things," he said. "This happens every day. Jeremy was just going to work, like millions of people do every day, people who are driving these machines, that weigh thousands of pounds and they are focused on other things instead of on their driving. "We hope this sign and this road serve as a reminder to people to be careful."
This is the second section of a highway named after the fallen trooper. In July, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a law renaming a stretch of Route 5S after Sgt. Jeremy J. VanNostrand. He also often patrolled that stretch of Route 5S while conducting his duties.

Interested in a Discount on Famotidine?
Pepcid Complete® (a combination of famotidine and two antacids) is intended to treat heartburn or indigestion symptoms once they occur. For adults and children ages 12 and over, the recommended dose is one tablet when symptoms occur, up to two tablets per day. Make sure to chew the tablets thoroughly before swallowing.
A liquid form of prescription famotidine is available for people who have trouble swallowing capsules or tablets. Make sure to shake the liquid well before each dose. Liquid famotidine is good for 30 days after it is mixed by your pharmacist. After 30 days, it should be thrown away.
Be sure to ask your healthcare provider about how long you will need to take famotidine. Some people need to take it for only a short period of time (a month or two).
The medication can be taken with or without food. If you are using it to prevent heartburn, you should take it 10 minutes to 60 minutes before eating or drinking the foods that cause heartburn (up to twice a day).
Famotidine should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood. If you take it just once a day, it is usually best to take at bedtime.
For famotidine to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. The drug will not work if you stop taking it. However, many people need to take famotidine only until their ulcer or esophagitis is healed.
Famotidine dosing is decreased for people who have poor kidney function (including kidney failure). If you have kidney problems, ask your healthcare provider about which dose of famotidine you should be taking.
If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or famotidine dosing in general, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Grow VC necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
We are building Grow Venture Community, a online service to maximize the support for the revolution of enabling more startups around the globe.
Grow VC is a global online community of entrepreneurs, investors and related industry actors around the world. The service provides tools for connecting and engaging with growing startups and opportunities such as work investment, community funding and angel investment.
The core concept of the service is that all paying members also become micro VC's, as a considerable part of their membership fee is allocated as their budget via our community fund. This allows paying members to make micro level investment decisions to those startups that they believe are the very best ones from the thousands of startups around the world. Grow VC enables the effective use of small capital to crowdfund and crowdsource the most interesting startups, while investment opportunities can be found for those looking to make actual investments using our service, without any commission fees.
Primary target group: Entrepreneurs, angel investors, incubators, VC's, local ecosystems, networks (etc) from around the world. Specially those that can see new ways needed to enable entrepreneurship and startups.
Secondary target group: Common people. At the same time we also want to attract more common people to join enable new ventures by crowdfunding.
The most important thing for each page is to be able to quickly cater for the need of the visitor in each situation (more details below). Also as the concept and service itself is complex enough - simplicity is highly appreciated.
Whatever is available in the site and provided materials at the moment, please feel free to design suggestions for new & additional items, functions or content for the pages as you see fit from your creative perspective for the audience in question.
We are looking for full width design style that goes from left to right and a design where the bottom of the page (footer) is used for the maximum benefit/navigation.
Via attachments, we are sharing some of the feedback we have got for our existing pages/site via various sources. These may not all be up to date or relevant, but there are still valuable content to think about. There are also our current style guide, but feel free to go as creative as you like for new redesign.
As the competition progresses, we will actively collect internal and external feedback from the proposals and communicate it here.
1. the landing page (http://www.growvc.com) this is mainly for new and occasional visitors. People that are new to Grow VC and for those that are some how related to what we do, but not active inside the service. It's important to have information and navigation to quickly understand and find relevant information. And naturally to register for the service. This page will also include a one minute video that explains the service (video is not yet available).
- And also how the facebook social plugin would fit the best. facebook social plugin is importnat as that displayes who of the visitors friend are already liking the service. One idea could be to use it as a massive element, but thats just an idea.
2. Dashboard, this is the home page for the actual users of our service. Ie. main page for the logged in users. important to find information about "what going on in the service", action points, new discovery, etc.
3. Generic page design for style that is used for informative main pages (like about, people, etc.), blog, tour, etc. - For example of this page design you can make a visual from Blog page or from "subscribe" page. It's important that the page include generic design that is consistent with other main pages, have generic content area are logical areas for additional information items to promote other content.
http://sendgrid.com/ - nothing to do about what our service is, but like the site for it's simplicity of explaining their service and specially for their overall style, landing page and pricing page.
http://www.personal.com/ & http://www.ubuntu.com/ - could also include these type of "slide" element that is these page ( - for different roles / personas) but must consider the video also.

Indexing is fully enabled on every Linux VM, which are RHEL 6.6 (mlocate, gzip and tar are present). It seems that in Enterprise Manager, I can only search for files in root folder, nothing is seen inside mount points. We use LVM and EXT3.
Searching for "*" in a specified Linux VM only produce 500+ files found, which are all in "/" and subfolders. Same goes with the browse tool, mount points are not seen. Everything is fine using FLR inside VBR console.
Is this normal, or am I doing wrong ?
I also have this Microsoft Exchange issue, so I'm looking forward to see update #2.
Does not look normal, have you contacted technical support with this? What is your support case ID?
I've just opened a case (#00859012) on your advice. Thanks.
Veeam support has confirmed that it is a bug. Indexing is not working on mount points apart from root (/).
Correct. However this will not be addressed in the upcoming update. Most likely private hotfix will be available though.
Well, I hope I will be able to obtain it, as indexing is very important for us (main reason for upgrading to v8).
I bet you will be notified by your engineer about fix availability.

Q: Proq Freq: By multiple categories I would like to find out if there is a way to do a freq on multiple categories, so that you end up with a overall total record and then the subcategories counts underneath it?
At the moment you would have to do 2 freqs and then 2 transposes and then set the data together. Below is the way I would normally accomplish this but is there a way to do it in 1 freq?
Proc freq data = data noprint;
tables CATEGORY*SUBCATEGORY     / out = Data1;
tables CATEGORY                 / out = Data2;
Run;

Proc sort data = DATA1 out = DATA1; by CATEGORY SUBCATEGORY; Run;
Proc sort data = DATA2 out = DATA2; by CATEGORY; Run;

Proc transpose data = DATA1 out = DATA1;
  var COUNT;
  by CATEGORY SUBCATEGORY;
Run;

Proc transpose data = DATA2 out = DATA2;
  var COUNT;
  by CATEGORY;
Run;

data Final;
  set DATA1 DATA2;
run;

A: Use PROC SUMMARY instead of FREQ, the TYPES statement enables you to choose which groups to summarise.  This just involves one step.
proc summary data=data;
class CATEGORY SUBCATEGORY;
types CATEGORY CATEGORY*SUBCATEGORY;
output out=want(drop=_type_ rename=(_freq_=COUNT));
run;

In a time when social issues divide Americans along so many lines, it is important to remember the strides that we have made in social progress. While movements like Black Lives Matter seek to uncover the abuse of minorities in the legal system and other aspects of life, most will agree that we have come a long way from the struggles of the 1960s. Though our modern age of communication has brought a light to many instances of injustice, it has also given a forum for those with contrary views to breed conflict. However, negative remarks in comment sections are often given far more social capital than they are due, giving the false sense that they are proportionally representative of the population. Consequently, one can get an exaggerated idea of how much prejudice and discrimination is in the world. Though this is most obviously divisive along party lines, it has also caused fractures within the Democratic Party along lines of age, gender identity and other current social issues.
Despite these differences, the Democratic Party and its members typically hold the same core values on Civil Rights issues: those goals and beliefs dating largely to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, which were championed first by President Kennedy and partly carried out by Lyndon Johnson. As early as 1948, President Harry Truman signed executive order 9981, which laid out the framework to desegregate the Armed Forces. Though some may consider this one of the first victories of the movement, it failed to take full effect until the Korean War. Further, the integration of the military did nothing to advance the rights of African American civilian life in the United States.
Democratic Achievements in Civil Rights
As previously noted, Lyndon Johnson was the first president to attack the issue with lasting success. Following the untimely death of President Kennedy, Johnson urged Congress to pass what would become the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and would also lead to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As we now know, Johnson used any and all available tactics to assure that this pivotal legislation was passed.
Though this and other critical legislative victories under Kennedy and Johnson advanced the interests and liberties of African Americans and other minorities in a number of ways, it also began to open doors for women in the workplace. Under Kennedy, the 1963 Equal Pay Act sought to assure that men and women would be paid the same wages for the same jobs. Furthermore, the act stated that employers could not simply lower the wages of other employees to even the pay gap, to protect the interests of all workers. Though the effects of this legislation were, in some ways, limited, they set an important precedent for the Democratic fight for gender equality.
Protecting Women In The Workplace
Another aspect of the Civil Rights Act was clarified with new legislation during the Carter administration. In 1978, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act elaborated on a statement from the 1964 Civil Rights Act and stated that women could not be discriminated against by employers based on pregnancy. It further elaborated that pregnant women were considered to be "temporarily disabled," granting them the same considerations as other physically disabled citizens. Under the 1964 Act, it effectively became unlawful to discriminate against women based on their marital status, a prejudicial practice that had previously compelled many women to keep the romantic and marital lives concealed from their employers. Under the Clinton administration in the 1990s, new Democratic legislations would further address similar women's issues like maternity leave for new mothers. With the passing of the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, companies with over a certain number of employees were required to give pregnant women 12 weeks unpaid leave to raise their infants and recover.
When Barack Obama was elected the first African American President, he and other Democrats sought to advocate further for women's rights and issues. In 2009, the strides made in the 1963 Equal Pay Act were emboldened with the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. Under this act, harsher penalties were imposed on employers who did not comply with the 1963 act, treating each deficient check as an individual offense and generally making it easier for employees to file complaints and making past instances of pay discrimination legally actionable retroactively.
The Fight Continues
Though the reforms of the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations gave far more political and social capital to marginalized groups, African Americans and other minority groups still face some forms of institutional discrimination at the hands of law enforcement and other authorities. Though it is hard to say if such occurrences are any more or less common than they were historically, they are certainly made more visible by technology. In reaction to numerous instances of police violence caught on cell phone camera, the Black Lives Matter movement formed. Though controversial at times, the movement seeks to expose police brutality and the treatment of African Americans in the legal system. Though heavily derided by Republicans and many in law enforcement, the movement was backed by the Democratic National Convention in a 2015 resolution. Whether or not they support their tactics, most Democrats agree that the treatment of minorities by police was not always equal and that African Americans are often targeted for certain crimes disproportionately to white people.
Despite the number of incremental advances in the intervening decades, later political actors would take exception to some aspects of the legislations. Tragically, the long standing success of the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Act failed even on an institutional level to erode the contrary opinions of the opposition. In 2013, the Supreme Court rendered a decision that greatly weakened the power of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Under section 5 of the act, certain districts, as determined by the act, must approve changes to voting procedure before they put them into action. While the Court did not nullify section 5, they were able to strike section 4b. The Court declared that the selection of certain districts was unconstitutional, essentially making the policy in section 5 impossible to carry out. Despite being rendered under Democrat Barack Obama, the decision came from a majority comprised of Republican Justices John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy and Samuel Alito. Despite this critical blow to the Voting Rights Act, many of the civil advances of the 1960s and beyond continue to offer more equitable treatment for minorities and other subjugated groups.

MH17 – The Open Source Investigation, Three Years Later
By Bellingcat Investigation Team
The full report can be downloaded here
Полная версия отчета на русском языке— здесь
Today, we are releasing a report summarizing all major open source evidence surrounding the downing of MH17 in an easy-to-read 73-page survey. This report is broken into thirteen chapters, summarizing the circumstances that led to the downing of MH17, information on the Buk missile launcher that downed the passenger plane, a summary of alternative scenarios regarding the downing, and other essential areas of information.
For those well-versed in the twists and turns surrounding the MH17 case, most of the information in this report will be familiar. This report is aimed at those looking for a more accessible introduction into the information around this tragic event, which has seen massive disinformation campaigns around it and continues to be relevant with the ongoing Dutch-led criminal investigation. Below is a summary of the findings of this survey:
Between June 23-25, 2014, Russia's 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade transported vehicles within Russia to positions close to the Russian border with Ukraine. This includes Buk 332, later photographed and filmed in Ukraine on July 17 and 18, 2014.
On July 17, 2014, Buk 332 was in Ukraine, and arrived in Donetsk in the morning. From there, while loaded onto red low-loader, it traveled eastwards through separatist-held territory, and eventually reached the town of Snizhne in the early afternoon.
After arriving in Snizhne, Buk 332 was unloaded and drove under its own power southward, out of town.
Buk 332 arrived at a field south of Snizhne and fired a missile that resulted in the destruction of flight MH17.
Buk 332 was next filmed traveling east through the separatist-controlled city of Luhansk on the morning of July 18, 2014 missing one missile. Intercepted communications indicate that the missile launcher was taken into Russia shortly after this video was filmed.
On July 21, 2014, the Russian MoD presented a series of fabricated and misleading information about the flight path of MH17, radar data, the location of the July 18, 2014 Luhansk video, and the inclusion of misdated and heavily edited satellite imagery.
Almaz-Antey presented data that was not reflected by witness statements on the ground, any open source information, or the technical assessments made by the DSB.
No credible evidence has been presented that shows any operational Ukrainian Buk missile launcher was near a position in range of downing MH17 on July 17, 2014.
The only credible candidate for the missile launcher that downed MH17 is Russian Buk 332, of the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade.
Additionally, we would like to use this opportunity to call for an increased focus on discovering information on two individuals central to the MH17 case: Orion and Delfin. These two men, whose first names and patronymics are Andrey Ivanovich (Orion) and Nikolai Fyodorovich (Delfin), are being sought by the Dutch-led criminal investigation into the downing of MH17. The JIT's call for witnesses regarding these two men, along with telephone conversations with their voices, can be seen below:
Orion (Орион) has also been called "Oreon" (Ореон) in a telephone call published by the Ukrainian Security Services (SBU). This call-sign is not unique in the Donbas, with other Rusisan and separatist fighters using this name, but Delfin (Дельфин, or "The Dolphin") is more uncommon. The transcripts of these calls can be found here (in English) and here (in Russian). Additionally, the call published by the SBU called Orion a Russian officer of the GRU, but this information has not been verified.
Bellingcat, along with other online investigators, were able to discover a large amount of information on Sergey Dubinsky, or "Khmury," another key figure in the downing of MH17. By searching some of the same sources – old videos, popular separatist message boards frequented by fighter sand their friends and family, photographs of meetings from the summer of 2014 between separatist officials and fighters – it may be possible to discover more information about Orion and Delfin. If you find information or a possible lead, tweet it out with the hashtag #OrionDelfin or #ОрионДельфин
The Bellingcat Investigation Team is an award winning group of volunteers and full time investigators who make up the core of the Bellingcat's investigative efforts.
zoliballa - July 18, 2017
No reaction on the investigation https://energia.su/mh17/files/Фальсификация%20откртых%20источников.pdf. Why? It contains some reasonable counter-arguments.
Volo - July 19, 2017
I've looked through the file (you link has a typo – "открЫтых" misses "Ы" letter). It is full of emotional propaganda criticizing the quality of Russian translation of Bellingcat's report.
1. Use the source material, i.e. English version of the report; and
2. I failed to find much of counter-arguments in the report. No facts were proved or disproved in the document. Mostly it consists of discrediting of Bellingcat (called "sofa Pinkertons"), SBU, MIA( mocked "Na-nana-naa-nah!") and "ever-conspiring" USA.
I advice to spare your time and avoid looking into this low-quality propaganda product.
I am very glad to see that at least one of the readers expressed interest to the counter-arguments in the Russian report. Thanks for the correction of the link, it is indeed https://energia.su/mh17/files/ Фальсификация%20открытых%20источников.pdf. Unfortunately I have not found English translation of that document. I completely agree that "this is low-quality propaganda product". Nevertheless I list some of the counter-arguments from it which were not found by Volo.
1. A photo of the Buk complex is shown on p. 35 with a detailed explanation on pp. 34–35. It consists of three elements: (i) command station, (ii) station of detection and targeting, and (iii) self-propelled fire installation (sorry for poor translation — I am not Russian and not a military man). The (iii) can independently detect and destroy the target but in that case its capability is restricted to 120 degrees horizontally and 7 degrees vertically and the effectiveness of the shooting is extremely low. — Bellingcat report does not say any word about that problem whereas its earlier versions followed only the (iii) element of the Buk in question from Kursk, i. e. more than 600 km to Snizhne. I do not know whether the characteristics above are true or not but Bellingcat report should have definitely cleared up this aspect. Especially when taking into account that fire was shot most probably much steeper than 7 degrees.
2. "The Paris Match photograph published in July 2014" is one of the key documents in Bellingcat report. However, it was shown on p. 6 that sharpness of the image in general increases onwards whereas the windows cleaner in the premier-plane is outstanding with its sharpness. — In other words the photo as a whole bears traces of reworking.
3. Another key document in Bellingcat report is "Satellite image from 11:08 am, July 17, 2014, showing the Buk convoy traveling through separatist-controlled Makiivka". In their previous report Bellingcat stated that the source is Digital Globe. Now the source is changed to Stratfor but its link "Failed to fetch". The image for Makiivka July 17 loaded from Digital Globe a month ago even with the maximum resolution was too small-scale to allow to see anything in the road discussed. The Russian fellow much earlier could not load that image at all. — So the "open source" does not work.
4. Tweets about the appearance of Buk in Donetsk are controversial in sense of both the travelling direction and the amount and type of the convoying cars.
There is no room here to continue but there are some more interesting counter-arguments. The only thing I would like to stress is that the analysis of the satellite material presented by the Russian Ministry of Defence seems to be quite convincing: this obviously is a series of fakes.
KimmoK - October 2, 2017
1. If there would be TELAR (7degrees) limitation that would make it impossible to target MH17 from pervomaiske, surely the BUK manufacturer would have said so.
Also, it is not yet proven if rebel TELAR was connected to TAR on Russian side of border.
So far it "just" seems strongly proven that launch came from rebel area.
Tourist - July 22, 2017
Can Bellingcat check this and explain more detailed? It's about limitation of the russian flight corridor height just changed few hours before Mh17 downing. Looks like russia forced airliners to fly as low that a BUK system can reach airliners. http://www.bild.de/politik/ausland/flug-mh-17/mh17-wusste-putin-etwas-52576256.bild.html

DSA - May 25, 2018
You read it wrong, the article actually says Russia closed its airspace up to the level that could be targeted by BUK, suggesting they knew in advance a BUK was going to be there and possibly shoot at stuff and they wanted to protect Russian airliners.
Victor Zaharov - May 28, 2018
I don't need 73 pages to prove ukraine guilty. Radar data say about it. What this JIT use to prove Russia guilty, only its long long tongue. Such behavior is awful.
Rodolphe - July 18, 2017
I am surprised, that we have now over thirty comments on the detailed Bellingcat report that seems logical to me, whereas the comments, that try to destroy it, are so far not able to present an equally logic report. Punished or not, that is another question. What counts, is the TRUTH !
Sean Lamb - July 19, 2017
It is difficult to rebut a 73 page report in a few paragraphs in a comments field.
I could certainly rebut sections of it – such as the conversation between Delphin and Orion clearly took place before the downing of MH17 and so presumably did the Lugansk video that is seems to match up with.
But because MH17 is now a political event and no longer a search for truth, there isn't much point in doing so. Not one person who believes in Russian responsibility would acknowledge these facts and the arguments that would result would be simply noisy and pointless – as noisy and pointless as online debates between Republicans and Democrats – like MH17 no one changes their minds because that is the nature of positions that are politically or ideologically determined. It is like trying to get supporters of two different football teams to agree on an on-field foul – sometimes it happens but mostly not.
It must simply be a part of the human condition that we construct ourselves as creatures capable of logical analysis and reason, but in reality we are not.
Joe Kilroy - July 19, 2017
Dear Sean Lamb, Bellingcat have a lot of expertize and a top notch reputation. Despite your poetic, frankly heart-rending lamentation about the human condition, which moved me so much, a little bit of wee came out, I think I'll go with Bellingcat, over you. No hard feelings. Me.
Well quite, but that top notch reputation is itself politically determined. A result of reliably toeing the Security State line. It is really no different than the Volkish Beobachter or Pravda having a top notch reputation in their respective societies
Black Star - July 19, 2017
Sorry, "Sean Lamb", but simply telling that somebody must be wrong does not make them wrong. Try with facts, if you want to make a believable rebuttal.
Ray F. - July 19, 2017
I'm certain that your philosophical claptrap warms the hearts of the thieves and murderers who committed this crime. It must also bring deep consolation to the surviving family members of those who were murdered. After examining all the evidence, it takes an act of deliberate blindness to avoid pinning responsibility on those Russians who were/are supporting the separatist criminals in Eastern Ukraine. Shame on you!
Nick F - July 20, 2017
Russian troll… English name, terrible English.
CFL68 - July 22, 2017
We are capable of logical analysis and reason. There are facts related to this issue. More and more are being identified and compiled. There was a plane identified as mh17. It was destroyed by a buk over rebel held territory. The rebels took responsibility by reporting it to their Russian news outlets, as well as through social media. There are audio intercepts. Some of the people involved have been positively identified. There is photo and video evidence of the buk in rebel territory. Of course there are other layers of facts about how people and countries have responded, and what their motivations are. Some to selfishly promote the search for truth, others to selfishly hide the truth. Russian generals gave a press conference claiming that falling bodies and debris were actually a stealth hovering Ukrainian su25 'because they did not give off the proper transponder signal.' Russian agents put out different stories about machine gun shoot downs, planes full of dead bodies, or Putin's plane being targeted, etc. You can believe this debunked nonsense at face value, or simply recognize that the only fact this garbage represents is the fact that Russia is lying. "Russia is lying" in itself is another important fact.
No doubt people will be in denial of the facts – but that does not mean facts do not exist.
The Bellingcat report has seemed to me also logical until I did not read the "Фальсификация" report. The phraseology and style of the latter are unacceptable in discussion of scientific-technical problems. However, it is possible to focus on the presented facts and considerations. I did so and revealed that some of the "facts" in the Bellingcat report are not convincing. That is why I recommend you to read the "Фальсификация" report (of course, quietly, with no rebel against the text). The absence of an "equally logic report" does not mean that the Bellingcat report is true in all its detail. I completely agree with you: "What counts, is the TRUTH". But the truth is independent of the existence or absence of a "logic report".
oui oui - July 19, 2017
" The absence of an "equally logic report" does not mean that the Bellingcat report is true"
sure , and does not mean that it is false , add that it can be true with and without that and you are a logical champion . selling an "equally" logic something that you had not to write to say Bellingcat false , as it can't
you used some time at saying nothing , again
"But the truth is independent of the existence or absence of a "logic report"."
yes , it's smart to say that after your logical something
a missile can be fired with or without a camera to record it
many words one after the other can build a sentence , but , when there is no meaning from this sentence , what is the motivation
Exposure to propaganda corrupts you even if you don't believe those lies.
you will slowly change your mind and accept the fact at reading again and again that you are an idiot
"of course, quietly, with no rebel against the text"
Russian translated into English sounds funny.
"But the truth is independent of the existence or absence of a "logic report""
And here I thought a "logic report" (I am not an expert in Russian clumsily translated into English, but I guess it means "article based on logical thinking") is an excellent source of information, especially then logic is supported with facts, like in this article.
Destiny of Russia - July 20, 2017
Thank you Bellingcat . It is reassuring to know that there are honest and intelligent people in this world and that not everyone is a criminal like Putin or mentally deranged like Sean Lamb….
Fantastic report. Hopefully it will help the relatives of those murdered by Putin get justice one day.
I will say you secret, Putin lit the Sun. Tssss
muchandr - June 5, 2018
Bellingcat keeps digging in the direction that is simply not there. Lets suppose for a second there was evidence that specifically #332 did it (there isn't really) There are some ad hoc dashboard videos showing there are #332s in Russia. That doesn't even prove a specific connection to Kursk 53rd, not to speak of a transfer to Ukraine. Again and again, these numbers repeat with every regiment / brigade in both Russia and Ukraine.
Is piling up additional detail showing how much you know about the 53rd supposed to obfuscate the fact that you had no reason to look for evidence in Russia instead of Ukraine to start with? The most likely candidate would be a Buk belonging to the 3rd (board numbers 3xx) battalion of Ukranian 156th Regiment. Here is a full catalogue of their vehicles.
https://zmei-cvdk.livejournal.com/632.html?nojs=1&thread=376
It is likely that their #332 was not operational, which also applies to all vehicles being towed. Otherwise they moved around under own power. The #3×2 is just wishful thinking as it is a lot closer to uniquely identifiable vehicle. With second digit being companie number, it could be #312, #322 or #323. All of those repeat many times over, with there being 72 of those vehicles in Ukraine and 440+ in Russia (source Wiki)
Normal procedure is to move the vehicles covered by a tent and using rail instead of oversized loads on public roads, so you haven't seen most of those being moved.
Leontiev's "Odnako" is by no means official Kremlin position. Its even subtitled "author's programm" and is conspirologically themed. I'd like to see better explanation for the claim that plane is over a mile large. Personally, I thought it is an image in resolution not accessible to the public. Fooled me. It was supposedly sent in by a well-meaning American fan who turned out to be Mr. Anonymous. I presume the high resolution was what attracted somebodies attention. Consequently, the image was shown to various Russian forensic experts a lot of whom were non-committal or negative about its authenticity. Russia's official position is that it needs to be included into investigation before it has one.
Eliot Higgins - June 5, 2018
We've detailed the connection between the 53rd Brigade and the convoy, and the ID of the Buk in multiple reports:

Baloo2 - September 3, 2018
Putin's Troll Factory in St. Petersburg have been busy. Nice try guys, but don't leave your daytime job…
muchandr - September 7, 2018
I presume it is a comment on me?
I've seen Bellingcat's final report. Underneath a huge pile of unnecessary detail, there a basic observable that we are dealing with two disjoint sets of evidence, as all the Buks sighted in Ukraine are filmed from one side and in Russia from another. The one possible exception is the Buk seen in Stariy Oskol later, but it is seen alone, no connection to no 53rd brigade.
The various phone intercepts require that the "separatist Buk" spent only one day in Ukraine. This makes it impossible to visit all the waypoints in Donezk and Luhansk the vehicle was supposedly sighted at before or after the shot as they are several hours away drive from Snizhne via busy city streets as plotted by Google maps. In reality, the ability to drive a badly oversized vehicle around so easily is quite questionable of course. As the same time, Russian border is only 23 minutes drive in the opposite, southbound direction of Snizhne and the next closest source of Buks is Taganrog airbase, 1:44 drive in the same direction, straight South, unimpeded by having to drive through population centers. Were the drivers utterly lost and incapable of using a navigotor or a simple compass?
Than there is a question of missiles that deserves to be revisited. The "separatist Buk" seen in Luhansk shows 3/4 missiles with white cones. The presumed 53rd convoy only stocks red- and khaki-colored cones. Which color corresponds to which type, what is a source of a missile the 53rd didn't bring and where is the TEL that loaded it? Also, why this additional complication?
The serial number indicating 1987 built year is borderline possible for 9K37M1 system missile as claimed by JIT's 2016 investigation. 1987 is supposed to be the last production year for those. JIT's 2018 investigation claims a 9K37 system missile from original Buk-1 system from the 70ties, which is no longer found in either Russia or Ukraine and probably cannot even be fired by all those Buk-M1 vehicles studies. Also contradicts their 2016 report.
You can tell Mr. Putin that you get a B for effort but fail miserably on producing a shred of evidence to support your fantasies. As I said, don't leave your daytime job.
You can verify my claims by clicking the link to the report provided by Mr. Higgins himself a few posts above this one as well as compare the missile cones as they appear in his other link. Not sure if you originally responded to me or to him, but your original message is just underneath the one I am talking about.
You need to see the JIT 2016 and 2018 conference videos to see where they differ in their missile descriptions. Those you can find on youtube as well as I can.
So far, I only used other people's well known evidence that is commonly used to implicate Russia for the purposes of this argument. Which ones do you find unsuitable?
I am retired.
Does "I am retired" mean that you no longer work for the Troll Factory? If so, surely you can let go of the side bar and join the rest of us on the field?
How else do you e.g. explain the obvious lies of the 21 July MoD press conference? Lies that the Russian MoD even themselves later admitted were lies.
Retired means I don't work anywhere. What sidebar, what field? Sorry, I don't follow you.
From this particular post, I see the MoD posted flight radar data, probably coming from Russia's own radar? I didn't really look at it, but I can reasonably expect it to deviate from the flight data supposedly recovered from the black box. That data has been doctored, because it deviates from this
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-07-17/here-real-time-flight-path-malaysian-airlines-flight-mh-17
which has been posted based on realtime radar the very same day MH17 fell. I consider this an unassailable credential, as it preempts the black box flight data by several months and there was nothing to prove yet and no sides to pick.
Baloo2 - September 11, 2018
My side bar comment was hockey talk. I thought that every true Russian was into hockey, but I guess that the Troll Factory has problems recruting true Russians nowadays?
And no, I wasn't referring to the fake radar images, as those were later abandoned by the Russian MoD (without of course admitting that they were fake).
I was thinking about the billboard that the MoD claimed was from Krasnoarmeisk — and they even "found" a local address and phone number on the billboard. Total fake!
Just days later several international as well as local sources could find the billboard in question, and confirmed that it was actually located in Luhansk. And there was absolutely no address or phone number to any local dealership on any of those billboards posted all around the neighborhood.
Give it up mate, you've been had!
muchandr - September 12, 2018
Sorry, not into team sports. I am a Jewish-Lapp hybrid kind of Russian.
So, which radar images are the correct ones, given that they are not all same?
Your billboard argument is a non-sequitur. It is quite likely that great many similar billboards at local intersections carried the same ad for a car leadership. That does not prove or disprove anything. It has been said already that the specific ad posted is not a reliable identifier of anything, because the billboard operator changes them frequently.
That Luhansk intersection is still a cause of concern, to which effect I tweeted extensively. If you study the intersection, you can see that it is completely symmetrical on both sides of the road, both sides with an identical billboard and the later Bellingcat report has been doctored for max plausible deniability when compared even with early version of the same. Higgins himself ignored my requests to give me a single word response whether it is the on-ramp or the off-ramp side.
See for yourself. The coordinate provided by Ukranian informers is ever so slightly too late for the off-ramp yet too yearly for on-ramp, which is only possible if the transporter was already driving on the main road/freeway. This is paradoxical. The streets leading to two ramps also have different names. One is ul. Stepana Razina, another ul. Chernomorskaya, yet nowhere is the report is either mentioned anymore.
The likely explanation that either direction on that intersection is really a tremendously poor way to get to Russia that takes way too long given the tight timing that it all happened on the same date MH17 was shot down. No matter which border crossing in N or NE direction you pick, there is a shorter route on the map. The intersection is simply way too far into Luhansk and past its center core, such that all the faster routes from out of town to elsewhere further out tend to take a bow around the busiest city streets and turn earlier, before going too far into the city center. And that's generic Google maps for a car, not severely oversized load towed, which may not even fit everywhere plotted.
Moreover, the by far the most logical route to Russia from Snizne is only 23 minites into strictly S-Bound direction, opposite direction of Luhansk. Saving you some 4 hours at least. 1:44 drive same S-direction gets you to Taganrog airbase, the most logical place to borrow a Buk from. The idiotic trek from Kursk around all of Ukraine was entirely unnecessary, because there is a direct railroad link from Kursk to the very town of Torez where the "separatist Buk" was sighted first. That railroad station has been caught on camera because that is where the MH17 bodies were loaded onto refrigerator train. Of course, it too is much closer to southern Russia than to Kursk up North.
The last obvious problem nobody seems to be interested in are the white nosecones on Luhansk Buk. The "Kursk 53rd" TELs are seen carrying red- and khaki-colored nosecones, but no whites. Where and why are were they supposed to get additional missiles? The recovered Buk nosecone the JIT has been showing is colored like a galvanized zinc bucket. I don't know what to make of the fact it survived the blast fairly intact. It may have been colored white or khaki before it was blasted, but certainly not bright red like most of 53rd's missiles as sighted. There would be at least some areas remaining where remaining bright red paint would be visible. Incidentally, has been that way for some blown up Buk missiles found in Syria.
dating - November 12, 2019
On July 17, Bellingcat s team of investigative journalists has released report summarizing all major open source evidence surrounding the downing of MH17 in an easy-to-read 73-page survey.

Not on the Regulatory Radar
Each week, FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) receives a variety of phone calls and e-mails from consumers asking questions like, "Who regulates flea and tick products?" and "How do I treat my cat's urinary tract infection?" While CVM's Communications Staff is happy to direct consumers to the appropriate resources, it may be helpful to know that FDA is not the only organization responsible for protecting animal health. FDA regulates the drugs, devices, and feed given to or used on the billions of companion and food-producing animals in the U.S. Several other government and non-government organizations also play a role in animal health.
Animal Drugs– The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act gives FDA the legal authority to approve and regulate drugs for animals. Before a drug company can market an animal drug, the company must get the drug approved by FDA. To get FDA approval, the drug company must prove that:
the drug is safe and effective for a specific use in a specific animal species. If the drug is for use in food-producing animals, the drug company must also prove that food products made from treated animals are safe for people to eat;
the manufacturing process is adequate to preserve the drug's identity, strength, quality, and purity. The drug company must show that the drug can be consistently produced from batch to batch; and
the labeling is appropriate and truthful. The drug company must make sure that the labeling contains all necessary information to use the drug safely and effectively, including the risks associated with the drug.
FDA's role does not stop after an animal drug is approved. As long as the animal drug is marketed in the U.S., FDA continues to monitor:
the drug's safety and effectiveness;
the drug's manufacturing process to make sure quality and consistency are maintained from batch to batch; and
how the drug is marketed to make sure the advertisements are truthful and not misleading.
Besides the standard approval process, two additional pathways to the marketplace are available for some animal drugs for minor species or minor uses in a major species. These two pathways are conditional approval and indexing.
For the complete definition of the term "drug," please see the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act at Section 201(g) [21 U.S.C. 321].
For more information about the animal drug approval process, please visit:

For an online database of FDA-approved animal drugs, please see Animal Drugs @ FDA
For more information about minor species, minor uses, conditional approval, and indexing, please visit:
Lions and Tigers and Bears! OMUMS!
Minor Use/Minor Species
Drug Indexing
Animal Devices– The key difference between an animal device and an animal drug is how the product works. If it relies on a chemical action occurring in or on the animal's body to work, the product is a drug, not a device. If it needs to be metabolized by the animal's body to work, the product is a drug, not a device.
Antibiotics, anesthetics, and insulin are examples of drugs. Needles, syringes, surgical instruments, X-ray equipment, certain diagnostic test kits, and dental appliances are examples of devices.
Unlike animal drugs, animal devices do not have to be approved by FDA before they can be marketed. Manufacturers and distributers of animal devices are responsible for making sure they are safe, effective, and properly labeled. FDA has the authority to take regulatory action if an animal device is adulterated or misbranded.
For the complete definition of the term "device," please see the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act at Section 201(h) [21 U.S.C. 321].
For more information about animal devices, please visit: How FDA Regulates Animal Devices
Animal Feed– The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act requires food for both people and animals to be:
safe;
produced under sanitary conditions; and
properly labeled.
Animal feed includes pet food and pet treats, as well as feed for food-producing animals, such as cattle, pigs, chickens, and farmed-raised fish. Unlike animal drugs, animal feed does not have to be approved by FDA before it can be marketed. However, FDA makes sure the ingredients in the feed are safe and have an appropriate function, and many ingredients must be approved by FDA before they can be used in animal feed. FDA also evaluates the human food safety aspect of animal feed for food-producing animals. That is, FDA makes sure it's safe for people to eat food products made from animals that ate the feed.
For more information about animal feed, please visit: Animal Food & Feeds
Turtles Under 4 Inches– Under federal law, FDA banned the sale of turtles less than 4 inches long in 1975 because of human health concerns. Small turtles may seem like fun additions to the home, but they carry dangerous bacteria called Salmonella.
For more information about turtle safety, please visit: Pet Turtles - A Source of Germs
Vaccines for Animal Diseases– FDA does not regulate vaccines for animal diseases. Veterinary biologics, including vaccines for animal diseases, are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
For more information about vaccines for animal disease, please visit: Veterinary Biologics (USDA)
Maybe So!
Pharmacies– Pharmacists are licensed by their state board of pharmacy and must follow the rules and regulations of that state board. FDA is responsible for approving and regulating the drugs sold in pharmacies. Some pharmacies also compound drugs. FDA has rules and policies about compounding drugs that apply to those pharmacies.
For more information about boards of pharmacy and for contact information for each state board of pharmacy, please visit the website of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP)
For more information about the compounding of animal drugs, please visit: Compounding of Animal Drugs
Please refer questions about a specific drug for your animal or drug pricing to your veterinarian or pharmacist.
Practice of Veterinary Medicine– Veterinarians are licensed by their state veterinary licensing board and must meet the requirements of the licensing board to practice in that state. FDA regulates the devices and drugs that veterinarians use, and the conditions under which veterinarians may prescribe drugs for extra-label uses.
What does "extra-label" mean?
When an approved drug is used in a manner other than what is stated on the label, it is an extra-label use. This is commonly called an "off-label" use because the drug is used in a way that is "off the label."
For more information about veterinary licensing boards and for contact information for each state veterinary licensing board, please visit the website of the American Association of Veterinary State Boards (AAVSB).
For more information about extra-label drug use in animals, please visit:
Extra-Label Use of FDA Approved Drugs in Animals
Extra-label Drug Use in Veterinary Medicine
Please refer specific questions about your animal's health to your veterinarian.
Flea and Tick Products– FDA regulates some flea and tick products for animals while the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates others. If a product is regulated by EPA, it will have an EPA Registration Number (sometimes written as "EPA Reg. No.") on the label. If a product is regulated by FDA, it will typically have the statement "Approved by FDA" followed by a six-digit New Animal Drug Application (NADA) or Abbreviated New Animal Drug Application (ANADA) number on the label.
For more information about flea and tick products, please visit:
Safe Use of Flea and Tick Products in Pets
Protecting Pets - EPA to Increase Restrictions on Flea and Tick Products
Milk, Eggs, Meat, and Poultry– The responsibility of food safety is shared by FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). FDA regulates milk and milk products, such as cheese, cream, and ice cream. FDA also regulates "shell eggs" which, as the name implies, are eggs still inside their shells. USDA regulates "egg products" which are eggs that have been removed from their shells for processing. In general, USDA regulates meat and poultry.
For more information about food and food safety, please visit:

Some products on the market for animals don't fall under the regulatory authority of any government or non-government organization, including:
Pet accessories, such as toys, beds, and crates
Bedding for pet birds and small animals, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters

24 LRT Stops for ScarboroughJosh Matlow2019-04-03T13:49:42+00:00
Add Your Voice to Support the Scarborough LRT Network
Sign up to show your support for the 24 Stop LRT Plan, and to hear updates about what you can do to help.
Action Alert – Let's Move forward now with a 24-Stop Rapid Transit Network for Scarborough
Toronto Council might actually choose to build a single subway stop rather than a 24-station LRT network for Scarborough. Here are the details and how you can have your say.
The Plans
The $3.2 billion 1-stop subway shown in the map above would provide fast service from Scarborough Town Centre (STC) to Kennedy Station. It would also eliminate the need to transfer at Kennedy Station. But Scarborough is a big place, comprising 35% of Toronto's land area. What about the rest of Scarborough that would be left on the bus?
For approximately the same City funding, we can choose instead to build 2 LRT lines. One would have 7 stops using the existing RT corridor to link STC and Centennial College to Kennedy Station. This project is part of the signed Metrolinx Master Agreement, and would be mostly funded by the provincial government. Then, with money saved by moving forward now with the approved LRT, Council could fund a new 17-stop extension of the Eglinton Crosstown through Kennedy, serving Kingston Rd, UofT Scarborough and several neighbourhoods in between.
I include this picture of the Centennial College station as a reminder that the 7-stop LRT will go through its own corridor on trains that have the same top speed as a subway (80 km/h).
A 24-station LRT network would not only provide more transit for Scarborough residents but would also leave an average of at least $33 million extra every single year for the next 60 years available for daycare spaces, youth recreation programs, parks, libraries, and affordable housing.
Tell your Councillor that you want transit that serves more people for fewer dollars. Tell them that you want to move forward now with 24 stops for Scarborough!

Ogilvy Renault LLP didn't breach its fiduciary duty to its client when it failed to maintain two patents on a skin cholesterol testing technology more a decade ago, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled on June 20.
PreMD Inc., a Canadian developer, retained Ogilvys to maintain the two patents in the United States, but the firm failed to pay the required maintenance fee, causing them to lapse.
PreMD went out of business in 2009, but according to the Court of Appeal, the two lapsing patents didn't cause the company's demise.
PreMD appealed the dismissal of its claim for breach of fiduciary duty, arguing that the firm, which has since become part of Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP, "intentionally failed to disclose it had not paid the fees on the two United States patents," according to the court ruling.
But the appeal court dismissed the appeal, finding that there's no evidence to suggest the firm concealed material information that could affect PreMD's decision.
"I do not accept PreMD's submission that the trial judge erred by failing to find a breach of fiduciary duty. Various pieces of evidence and inferences from the evidence reasonably support her finding of no breach of duty," Justice John Laskin wrote in PreMD Inc. v. Ogilvy Renault LLP.
PreMD's claim was that Robert Carrier, the Ogilvy Renault partner handling its file, should have testified at trial. Although ill health was cited as a reason for Carrier's absence, the trial judge should have been suspicious of his failure to testify, PreMD argued.
But PreMD knew about Carrier's illness from other sworn declarations, Laskin wrote, adding that an internal investigation into the firm found no evidence it knew about the lapsed patents.
"The trial judge concluded that it was 'not plausible' Carrier was aware the maintenance fees had not been paid and intentionally did not disclose this fact," wrote Laskin.
The court also rejected PreMD's claim for an increased reliance damage award. The developer wanted the court to factor in the losses it incurred prior to its contract with Ogilvy Renault, a request the court denied entirely.
The court didn't offer an explanation on what is a reasonable contemplation. It's an area of the law could benefit from guidance from the Supreme Court of Canada, says Toronto dispute resolution lawyer Javad Heydary.
William Horton, counsel for the plaintiff, says he's "in no position" to comment on the case. He hasn't yet received instructions from his client to seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, he adds.
The appeal court also dismissed Ogilvy Renault's cross-appeal regarding cost endorsements. Law Times was unable to reach Alan Lenczner, the firm's legal counsel, by press time.

Q: Why don't my QIcons show in my QMenu when I run my PyQt application as root? I have a PyQt4 application I am working on and I have an issue that I can't seem to solve. I have a bunch of QActions that have a valid QIcon set. These QActions are on a QToolBar, as well as a QMenu. The QIcons show on the QToolBar and the QMenu just fine when run as a normal user, but if I run the application with sudo or when logged in as root, the QIcons show on the QToolBar, but not in the QMenu. I am running this on RHEL 6.7 and have checked permissions of all my files. Any idea what might be happening?

A: I just found that showing icons in menus for root was turned off. I needed to run the command below to get them to work.

There a few basic criteria to follow when it comes to building a wilderness survival shelter. Depending upon the situation (injury, location, etc...) you won't always be able to use everyone, but the more you do the warmer you'll be.
Warm: You must create a dead-air space where warm air is trapped.
Wind and Waterproof: Warmth cannot be achieved if you have wind blowing through your shelter and you're getting wet from above or below.
Small: The smaller a shelter is the easier it is to build and the easier it is to heat.
NOTE: Remember that any endeavor in a survival situation comes at a price of calories or energy and so you must always conserve your energy and only spend it when the return is greater than the expenditure.
Strong: You want a shelter that won't collapse on your head or blow over in a storm.
Easy to Construct: Keep it simple, remember the cost of calories to build, the easier the shelter the less calories spent.
South Facing Slopes: If you can, south facing slopes are warmer and have rocky terrain for radiant heat, north facing slopes are colder and damper, the trade off though is that north facing have more vegetation and therefore more material to work with.
50-75ft up from canyon floor: If you remember from the winter shelter posts, we created colder air sumps so that the cold air had a place to settle away from where we were sleeping. Well this is true on a larger scale meaning that canyon bottoms are where the cold air settles and so getting 50-70ft up out of the bottom of a canyon or revene can change the temperature significantly. An easy way to figure this out is to find a tall tree at the bottom and just head up the hillside until you're about even with the top of it.
Easy to Construct (keep it simple).
50-75ft up from canyon floor.
These are the basic criteria for wilderness survival shelters and the more you can follow them the better shelter you'll have.
In my next post will break down the 3 Components of a good shelter.

Also called: Barber, Barber Shop Operator, Barber Stylist, Stylist
The people who cut, style, and color hair, and sell specialty beauty products are barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists. They creatively enhance each client's appearance, and keep up with hairstyle trends. Hairstylists and barbers listen carefully to clients' preferences, and make sure they are satisfied with their results, while finishing in time for their next appointment. Barbers usually serve male clients for shampoos, haircuts, and shaves. Some fit hairpieces and perform facials. Hairdressers, or hairstylists, provide coloring, chemical hair treatments, and styling in addition to shampoos and cuts, and serve both female and male clients. Cosmetologists perform scalp and facial treatments and conduct make-up analysis. While some barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists work in spas or hotels, most work in barbershops and salons. Some lease chair space from a salon owner, others open their own shops after gaining experience. These workers are on their feet for most of their shift, and often wear gloves or aprons when giving chemical hair treatments. Many work full time, including nights and weekends, however part-time positions are also common. Salon owners work long hours and manage employees… inventory… ordering and bookkeeping. Barbers, hairdressers, and cosmetologists must complete a program in a state-licensed barber or cosmetology school and obtain licensure. Full-time programs in barbering and cosmetology usually last at least 9 months.
Provide barbering services, such as cutting, trimming, shampooing, and styling hair, trimming beards, or giving shaves.
Clean and sterilize scissors, combs, clippers, and other instruments.
Drape and pin protective cloths around customers' shoulders.
Cut and trim hair according to clients' instructions or current hairstyles, using clippers, combs, hand-held blow driers, and scissors.

Q: How to link to all class constants in JavaDoc I frequently feel like I want to reference @see Class#{all_constants} , in JavaDoc.  Is there any way to do that ?   For example, what if i want to provide a reference to the possible values for a bitflag ?

A: Unfortunately, I haven't found a standard way to do this. You can certainly create a relative HREF, as follows:
MyClass constants

MyClass constants

The trouble is, this isn't safe to use when refactoring. The relative path must be adjusted for the number of symbols in the package name, and the fully-qualified class name must be part of the anchor. It's very error-prone and not likely to be supported by any IDE. I'd be delighted to find out that there's a better answer, but this is all I have right now.

It's time to start taking the search for E.T. seriously, astronomers say
Some scientists are pushing for NASA to make looking for alien technology an official goal
WE'RE LISTENING A radio telescope in Green Bank, W.Va., was the first to listen for signals from intelligent aliens in 1960. Now scientists are using another instrument, the Green Bank Telescope (shown), to search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
John M. Chase/Shutterstock
Long an underfunded, fringe field of science, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence may be ready to go mainstream.
Astronomer Jason Wright is determined to see that happen. At a meeting in Seattle of the American Astronomical Society in January, Wright convened "a little ragtag group in a tiny room" to plot a course for putting the scientific field, known as SETI, on NASA's agenda.
The group is writing a series of papers arguing that scientists should be searching the universe for "technosignatures" — any sign of alien technology, from radio signals to waste heat. The hope is that those papers will go into a report to Congress at the end of 2020 detailing the astronomical community's priorities. That report, Astro 2020: Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics, will determine which telescopes fly and which studies receive federal funding through the next decade.

"The stakes are high," says Wright, of Penn State University. "If the decadal survey says, 'SETI is a national science priority, and NSF and NASA need to fund it,' they will do it."
SETI searches date back to 1960, when astronomer Frank Drake used a radio telescope in Green Bank, W.Va., to listen for signals from an intelligent civilization (SN Online: 11/1/09). But NASA didn't start a formal SETI program until 1992, only to see it canceled within a year by a skeptical Congress.
Private organizations picked up the baton, including the SETI Institute, founded in Mountain View, Calif., in 1985 by astronomer Jill Tarter — the inspiration for Jodie Foster's character in the movie Contact (SN Online: 5/29/12). Then in 2015, Russian billionaires Yuri and Julia Milner launched the Breakthrough Initiatives to join the hunt for E.T. But the search for technosignatures still hasn't become a more serious, self-sustaining scientific discipline, Wright says.
"If NASA were to declare technosignatures a scientific priority, then we would be able to apply for money to work on it. We would be able to train students to do it," Wright says. "Then we could catch up" to more mature fields of astronomy, he says.
Wright himself is a relative newcomer to SETI, entering the field in 2014 with a study on searching for heat from alien technology. He was also one of a group to suggest that the oddly flickering "Tabby's star" could be surrounded by an alien megastructure — and then to debunk that idea with more data (SN: 9/30/17, p. 11).

In the last five years, scientists' attitudes toward the search for intelligent alien life have been changing, Wright says. SETI used to have a "giggle factor," raising images of little green men, he says. And talking about SETI work as an astronomer was considered taboo, if not academic suicide. Now, not so much. "I have the pop sociology theory that the ascension of geek culture has something to do with it," Wright says. "Now it's like all the top movies are comic books and science fiction."
When NASA requested a report in 2018 on what technosignatures are and how to look for them, SETI researchers thought hopefully that the space agency might be ready to get back into the SETI game. Colleagues tapped Wright to organize a meeting to prepare the technosignatures report, posted online December 20 at arXiv.org.
But Wright didn't stop there. He convened the new workshop group with the goal of dividing up the work of writing at least nine papers on specific SETI opportunities for the decadal survey. By contrast, there was only one submission on SETI research, written by Tarter, in the 2010 decadal survey.
The SETI situation has also evolved since the 2009 launch of the Kepler space telescope, which discovered thousands of exoplanets before its mission ended in 2018 (SN Online: 10/30/18). Some of those planets outside our solar system are similar in size and temperature to Earth, raising hopes that they may also host life. Old arguments that planets like Earth are rare "don't hold much water any longer," Wright says.
The exoplanet rush has sparked a surge in research about biosignatures, signs of microbial life on other planets. NASA's next big space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, is planning to search directly for signs of alien life in exoplanet atmospheres (SN: 4/30/16, p. 32). So far, though, no one has found any biosignatures, let alone technosignatures. But the focus on searching for the one makes the case for ignoring the other seem all the weaker, Wright says.
"Astrobiology and the search for life has become such a big part of what NASA does," he says. "The fact that it won't look for intelligent life has become ever more incongruous with its other activities."
Editor's note: This story was updated on January 28, 2019, to correct the instrument that Frank Drake used to look for alien intelligence. It was a previous radio telescope in Green Bank, W.Va., not the current Green Bank Telescope.

Red State (2011) - 2.5/5
With a floundering career as a director/writer in comedy with the likes of "Zack and Miri" trying too damn hard and "Cop Out" not trying hard enough, Kevin Smith decided to jump ship and head over to a genre where the bang for his buck is probably more worth it. Horror. Thusly we are given "Red State", a rather odd horror film that rarely feels like horror and tends to over preach against both state and church. It certainly has its moments, the black humor is quite fitting and its wicked quick pacing works, but overall "Red State" disappoints. Not unlike the last handful of Kevin Smith films.
Three teenage boys are tricked by the promise of quick sex into becoming hostages by an over zealous church oriented and generally hateful family whose anger towards the unGodly is only matched by the stockade of firepower held in the compound. When the government gets involved via the shaky hand of ATF Agent Keenan (Goodman), all hell might break loose in the name of God.
What's so frustrating about "Red State" (and for many independent horror films in general) is that the concept and potential for this film is quite intriguing. A religious group who abducts kids for their sins against God and the investigation into it. It's like an even more controversial sounding version of "Hostel". For both good and bad though, this film was directed and written by Kevin Smith.
This means that a) some of the oddly timed humor will work and there will be a fairly solid style to the film. It also means that b) its never going to shut up. Talk, talk, talk. This film gets so damn preachy about government, guns, and God that it reminded me why I quit following Kevin Smith on Twitter. We get it. Don't beat our skulls in with your concepts. Smith certainly piles it on and rarely leaves anything for the audience to think about without it being shouted. Luckily, the acting is quite impressive (including John Goodman and our villain Michael Parks) and can sell most of the main parts. The supporting cast is wishy washy but that's due to....
...To the rather ridiculous plot progression. The story is interesting. The characters are too, but the film never really feels like a horror movie. It starts off in a rather cliche horror fashion with isolated kids being threatened by death at the hands of nutty people. Then it takes a turn, ignores the kids, and goes straight into a Waco like scenario leaving the audience with really no one to root for or any care to what actually happens in this awkward circumstances. It's like two different films sort of glued together. Awkwardly at that.
The film does end on a rather high note, blending Smith's penchant for dark humor with a clever spin, but by that time I had already checked out due to the rather preachy nature of the dialogue and the choppy script progression. Smith's directing is solid and modern and many of the performances are much better than they should have, but the film's foundations are too flawed to really make it work like it should have. Respect goes to Smith for the rather intense leap of style, but the film isn't what it could have been.
