Q: How to dynamically add components to Java JScrollPane I am trying to make a GUI application in Java but I am having trouble in adding/updating components dynamically in JScrollPane. I have two JPanels (P1 and P2) in which P1 has a form to set parameters for application and the P2 contains some GUI components, which are updated dynamically based on the values in the P1. I need a JScrollPane on P2 to scroll, so I added JScrollPane in P2. I added both P1 and P2 to a main panel "main" and then added the main panel to a frame. But the components are not updated in P2. Can someone suggest what is the problem? I have called revalidate(), repaint() and some other methods but GUI is not updated. Below is a sample code I have written just to illustrate my problem. I need GroupLayout in my application so here I also used GroupLayout
        import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
        import javax.swing.GroupLayout;
        import javax.swing.JButton;

            private final JScrollPane scrol;
            private final JButton jButton;
            private final JButton jButton2;

            public JframeExample() {
                P1 = new JPanel();
                P2 = new JPanel();
                main = new JPanel();
                jButton = new JButton("Add");
                jButton2 = new JButton("Remove");

                GroupLayout layout = new GroupLayout(P1);

                layout.setAutoCreateContainerGaps(true);
                GroupLayout.SequentialGroup hGroup = layout.createSequentialGroup();
                hGroup.addGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(GroupLayout.Alignment.TRAILING)

                layout.setVerticalGroup(vGroup);
                P2.add(scrol);
                jButton.addActionListener((ActionEvent evt) -> {

                        .addComponent(P2));

            }

        }

Wrapping P2 inside JScrollPane also does not work.

Yes it does, because that's the way it work.  If you take the time to read through the How to use scroll panes, examine the examples and maybe even consult the JavaDocs it would provide you with the basic information you'd need to get you UI up and running.

import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

public class JframeExample extends JFrame {

    private final JPanel P1;
    private final JPanel P2;
    private final JPanel main;
    private final JScrollPane scrol;
    private final JButton jButton;
    private final JButton jButton2;

    public JframeExample() {
        P1 = new JPanel();
        P2 = new JPanel();
        main = new JPanel();
        jButton = new JButton("Add");
        jButton2 = new JButton("Remove");
        scrol = new JScrollPane(P2);
        initialize();
        this.add(main);
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.setSize(400, 400);
        this.setVisible(true);

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JframeExample jframeExample = new JframeExample();

    }

    private void addPressed(ActionEvent evt) {
        System.out.println("Add Pressed");
        P2.add(new JButton());
        revalidate();
    }

    private void removePressed(ActionEvent evt) {
        System.out.println("Remove Pressed");
        P2.removeAll();
        revalidate();
    }

    private void initialize() {
        main.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 2));
        main.add(P1);
        main.add(scrol);
        jButton.addActionListener((ActionEvent evt) -> {
            addPressed(evt);
        });
        jButton2.addActionListener((ActionEvent evt) -> {
            removePressed(evt);
        });
        P1.add(jButton);
        P1.add(jButton2);
    }

}

Word of warning GroupLayout really isn't meant for hand coding, it's really designed for UI editors.


Maybe you've heard of air handlers. Maybe you haven't. Even if you are familiar with the concept of an air handler, you may not be sure if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Abilene. We're here to help you recognize what an air handler is and if one would benefit you in your home.
An air handler is the interior unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. In essence, an air handler does what its name says: it handles air. It aides your split system or heat pump push cooled or warmed air within the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other mechanisms. When the weather is burning, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps maintain correct comfort levels in your home. Some models of air handlers even contain heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.
A properly maintained and working air handler can help lower utility bills and a create an extended lifespan for your split system or heat pump.
If you want to discover more about air handlers and the mean by which they could hypothetically benefit you and your home comfort, call Abilene Air-Tech Inc today at 325-200-4667. We can help you determine if you'd be better assisted by a more proficient air handler and reveal to you our many options.

The EU makes market history with record demand for its 'social' bonds
Published Wed, Oct 21 20208:26 AM EDT
Silvia Amaro @Silvia_Amaro
The milestone was important for the EU as it gears up to become one of the region's biggest borrowers alongside individual countries such as France and Italy.
The 17 billion euros were split over 10 billion euros, due in 10 years, and 7 billion euros, due in 20 years. The demand for the 10-year note reached 145 billion euros and it was over 88 billion euros for the 20-year paper.

LONDON —The European Union has made a historic debut on the bond markets as it looks to fund the region's recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
The bloc was after 17 billion euros ($20.15 billion) in the bond market on Tuesday to fund its coronavirus-related unemployment scheme, known as SURE. However, the demand from investors was well above that amount, reaching 233 billion euros ($276 billion) — which it said was a record orderbook and the largest supranational transaction ever launched.
"With this operation, the European Commission has made a first step towards entering the major league in global debt capital markets. It is the highest amount ever borrowed in the history of the EU," European Commission Johannes Hahn, in charge of the bond sale, said in a statement on Tuesday.
In the wake of the pandemic, the political bloc has agreed to tap the markets to fund investments and projects to revive the economy.
Is sustainable investing just a marketing ploy?
The yield on the 10-year bond closed at -0.238% and it was 0.131% on the 20-year note. Yields move inversely to prices.
Both represent higher returns in comparison with the German sovereign bund, which is seen as a benchmark in Europe by bond traders.
"The strong investor interest and the favourable conditions under which the bond was placed are further proof of the new-found interest in EU bonds," Hahn said.
He added that the "social" character of the bond sale helped attracting demand as more investors look to put their money in areas deemed more sustainable.
ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) is a growing trend in financial markets, where investors look to allocate their funds to companies and borrowers that serve one or more of these purposes.

Cheek fat removal is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves removing the excess fat in the cheeks, thus reducing the unappealing round look. The fat in the lower cheeks area is difficult or even impossible to reduce through dieting or exercise and can make a person look misleadingly fat. This procedure removes this fat and accentuates the cheekbones for a more mature and attractive look.

PNWVHF - a fellow Amateur Radio group worth supporting.
While I've been following the PNWVHF Email reflector for some time it wasn't until I attended their annual gathering in Moses Lake that I learned just what a good group it was. Lots of support for on the air operation and activities, new modes, modern technology and just plain socializing... PNWVHF is also very closely related to NWAPRS in the Amateur Frequencies used so it's to our mutual advantage that both organizations be strong and well supported. Best of all, the PNWVHF lifetime membership fee is even cheaper then the NWAPRS dues.. Only $10 one time - that's about the same as Starbucks for two. It even includes a nifty membership certificate and membership number. They just passed number 400 - wouldn't it be neat if NWAPRS could bring this up to 500?
Click here for the PNWVHF website.
groups like NWAPRS and PNWVHS as well as local clubs. Even if there isn't time to participate fully, a few nickels and the call on the membership list can mean a lot.
PS. I'm also happy to support the Capital Peak Repeater group due to their support of APRS and the 96UHF network..
I've come across a lot of hams who don't have a good understanding of APRS Voice Alert. While Bob Bruninga, WB4APR explains it well on his voice alert page, I'll try to explain it in just a few lines.
Voice alert is essentially adding a 100hz CTCSS tone to the transmitted APRS packets on 144.39 (US), just set the tone as if you needed it to access the repeater and setting the radio to tone squelch (CT on the D700) and leaving the volume on the data channel up. When a packet is received with the 100hz tone, you'll hear it on the radio, and you should also see the call on whatever APRS display you are using. The radio will still decode packets that don't have the 100hz tone, you just won't hear them. This works with most rigs/tncs that don't rely on the speaker output to feed audio to the TNC.
Even hams that don't use APRS can take advantage of voice alert, just listen to 144.39 with your tone squelch set to 100hz. When an APRS mobile is in the area, you'll hear them, and you can give a general call for APRS voice alert stations.
Once contact is made on the voice alert channel, the conversation should be moved to another frequency to keep the channel clear for packets, and to keep the packets from crashing your QSO.
One thing that makes voice alert less useful is when the tone is transmitted with the packet, but nobody is listening (unattended, volume down, etc). That is one disadvantage to the D710, it isn't as easy to turn off voice alert once you have it on, which leads to folks just turning down the volume.
I hope this helps spread the word regarding APRS voice alert.
BigRedBee, LLC is pleased to announce the world's smallest, completely integrated 5 watt 2 meter APRS/GPS transmitter.
Features include a frequency agile 2 meter RF transmitter (144 - 148Mhz), integrated SiRF star III GPS with patch antenna and 5 watts of RF power output. All on a single board measuring less than 1 1/4 x 3 3/4inches.
The high sensitivity 20 channel WAAS capable SiRFstar III GPS allows operation in areas where GPS reception is troublesome, including"urban canyons", wooded areas, even inside buildings.
Nonvolatile on-board memory stores more than 1000 waypoints at a user selectable rate which can be downloaded as a .kml file viewable via Google Earth.
An integrated voltage regulator allows direct connection to anautomobile (or any unregulated 12V) power source For truly portable operation, you may also provide power (4-9 volts) via (2)lithium-poly (7.4v) or (6) alkaline batteries (9.6v).
The transmitter supports fixed beacon rates, time slotting and SmartBeaconing (TM) for dynamic transmission rates based on speed and heading. For periodic operation, the GPS power may be powered downresulting in longer battery life.
For "high flying" projects, Trimble's Lassen IQ GPS module is also available for an additional cost, allowing battery powered operation above 18,000 meters.
Just plug in your SMA antenna and 12V power supply and you are on the air!
A BeeLine GPS 2MHP package deal is available for just $275, which includes a water resistant plastic case, automotive (cigarette lighter) power adapter and an RS-232 serial programming interface.
RF transmit antenna and batteries are not included.
The BeeLine 2MHPGPS is available now, but built to order. Please visit http://www.bigredbee.com/ for more information including detailed pricing and ordering information.
Surely we can put HAMFEST objects on the map to help alert and remind our fellow hams of such important upcoming events! I just checked, and not a single HFEST is showing. There is one HAMFEST object, but it is in New Zealand!
It actually doesn't depend on UI-View or it's settings at all. It is a standalone application that uses the AGW Packet Engine as an interface to access one or more TNCs. You specify a callsign and path completely independently of UI-View.
Currently at my station, AGWpe is arbitrating access to both the HF and VHF ports of a classic original KAM, and access to a second KPC3+. It allows 4 copies of UI-View, UI-Traffic Monitor, UI-Network Analysis and APRS Events to access/share both TNCs.
The application is hardwired to transmit in bulletin format. (I wish it could transmit objects as well -- perhaps in a future revision it will). It stores it's own path and originating callsign independent of any other application using AGWpe.
I have set a single-hop path using the actual callsign of a single digipeater (N6EX-1) that covers the area of interest (the San Gabriel Valley -- the area between 5 and 20 miles east of downtown Los Angeles that includes Pasadena, Alhambra, Monterey Park, Arcadia, Monrovia, El Monte, etc). This avoids setting off 4 or 5 digipeaters all over the greater Los Angeles basin simultaneously with the generic WIDE2-2 path normally used around here.
Best digi path for a mobile tracker?
Don't forget, APRS can now do global CQ's.
Although we don't get any special points for FD, APRS still makes a great demo!
Show those old fuds how you can communicate any where in the world via APRS in real time!
CQ FD CQ FD from .... Your info here.
For clarity, you have to repeat the original CQ twice, since the first copy is stripped off by the CQSRVR. Operate APRS at Field Day like never before! To heck with the points! C U There!
Good morning from Tier 2 headquarters in sunny southern California! I would like to take this time to outline some important changes/enhancements to the APRS Tier 2 server network. The network has been quietly growing again in the past year. We now have 44 servers online in 19 different countries, and 8 more servers are currently under sea trials. A positive benefit to this growth has been the influx of great knowledge from the different sysops that has allowed us to make many enhancements to the network as well.
to the APRS server in Thailand. While internet routing vs. political boundaries is an interesting study, suffice it to say that most clients will want to connect to something that makes regional sense. So for the past five months, our sysops have been working on and testing a regional rotate address system for Tier 2 that addresses many of these issues.
Information about which server is in which region, along with a map of the five server regions, can be found right on the Tier 2 home page http://www.aprs2.net/ There were two debates that ran for a long time in developing this scheme. First, there are often political questions when assigning various countries of the world to a region - most notably is the question of where Europe and Asia are separated. I can assure you that there was no political or nationalistic malice in choosing where servers were placed! Simple logic was employed. Secondly, it had been requested that we try to adhere to strict internet routing - i.e. have the client connect to the server that was closest in IP terms. Unfortunately, while that make very good technical sense, there really is no way to effectively trace and catalog the routes from each potential client to each of the servers. At any rate, this setup seems to be working well, and so it is time to roll it out. Again, I still believe you should be trying to use actual server addresses whenever possible, but if you are looking for a regional rotate address that makes more sense to you, you now have it!
We always welcome comments and suggestions. We serve the APRS-IS's 30,000 plus clients with an average of 1,850 at any given time. This is your network and we are happy to be the maintenance crew for it. Thanks again, and enjoy!
73, on behalf of the Tier 2 team.

3And the south [Negev], and the plain ['Aravah] of the valley of Yericho [Its Moon], the city of palm trees, unto Tzo'ar [Insignificance].
4And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, This [is] the land which I swore unto Avraham [Exalted Father], unto Yitz'khak [Laughter], and unto Ya'akov [Heal of God], saying, I will give it unto youi seed: I have caused youi to see [it] with youi eyes, but youi shall not go over there.
5So Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] the servant of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) died there in the land of Mo'av [Seed of my Father], according to the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
6And he buried him in a valley in the land of Mo'av [Seed of my Father], over against Beit-P'or [House of the Cleft (split hoof; an opening, break or split)]: but no man knows of his sepulcher unto this day.
7And Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
8And the people of Yisra'el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] wept for Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] in the plains of Mo'av [Seed of my Father] thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] were ended.
9And Y'hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation] the son of Nun [Posterity] was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] had laid his hands upon him: and the people of Yisra'el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] listened unto him, and did as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].
12And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] showed in the sight of all Yisra'el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013, J.J. Abrams)
2013, ★★, Directed by J.J. Abrams, Film, Sci-Fi, Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek series	by Andrew Wickliffe 20 May 2013 20 May 2021
For Star Trek Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams operates with an "if it ain't broke" mentality. It serves him–and the film–fairly well. Except Michael Giacchino's music. While Abrams goes for sensationalism every time, he does it competently. The Giacchino music, however, is never competent.
This Trek tries hard to create mainstream post-modern; it's a sequel to the first movie, yes, but it's also a remake of a television series and a movie series. Not to mention Abrams and the writers gleefully wink at the franchise's more memorable details. Into Darkness does have some serious moments and even tries hard to work arcs for some of its characters (it loses them too often), but it's all for fun.
So why do Abrams and company get away with it? Usually the acting. Benedict Cumberbatch is fantastic as the villain, a 23rd century terrorist. If he wanted, he could act circles around Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, but Cumberbatch gives them time to catch up. He's the very special guest star, after all.
Both Pine and Quinto are good. Pine's likable and believable but the script coddles him. He doesn't have to run the movie. Karl Urban's great as Bones, Simon Pegg's fun as Scotty. John Cho and Anton Yelchin lack personality–the script doesn't give them enough to do. Zoe Saldana's okay, the script giving her too much to do.
Sadly, Peter Weller's weak. He's obviously stunt casting.
Into Darkness succeeds. Hopefully the next one will be more original.

Black hole feeding frenzy that breaks records, discovered
Astronomy Natural Sciences
DURHAM, N.H. – A giant black hole ripped apart a nearby star and then continued to feed off its remains for close to a decade, according to research led by the University of New Hampshire. This black hole meal is more than 10 times longer than any other previous episode of a star's death.
"We have witnessed a star's spectacular and prolonged demise," said Dacheng Lin, a research scientist at UNH's Space Science Center and the study's lead author. "Dozens of these so-called tidal disruption events have been detected since the 1990s, but none that remained bright for nearly as long as this one."
Using data from a trio of orbiting X-ray telescopes, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and Swift Satellite as well as ESA's XMM-Newton, researchers found evidence of a massive "tidal disruption event" (TDE). Tidal forces, due to the intense gravity from the black hole, can destroy an object – such as a star – that wanders too close. During a TDE, some of the stellar debris is flung outward at high speeds, while the rest falls toward the black hole. As it travels inward, and is ingested by the black hole, the material heats up to millions of degrees and generates a distinct X-ray flare.
These multiwavelength flares, which can be viewed by the satellites, help to study otherwise dormant massive back holes. Previous flares were short-lived, typically becoming very faint in a year, but this super-long X-ray flare has been persistently bright for close to a decade. The extraordinary long bright phase of this TDE means that either this was the most massive star ever to be torn apart during one of these events, or the first where a smaller star was completely torn apart.
The X-ray source containing this force-fed black hole, known by its abbreviated name of XJ1500+0154, is located in a small galaxy about 1.8 billion light years from Earth.
The X-ray data also indicates that radiation from material surrounding this black hole has consistently surpassed the so-called Eddington limit, defined by a balance between the outward pressure of radiation from the hot gas and the inward pull of the gravity of the black hole.
The conclusion that supermassive black holes can grow, from TDEs and perhaps other means, at rates above those corresponding to the Eddington limit has important implications. Such rapid growth may help explain how supermassive black holes were able to reach masses about a billion times higher than the sun when the universe was only about a billion years old.
Based on the modeling by the researchers the black hole's feeding supply should be significantly reduced in the next decade and begin to fade in the next several years.

Somali president shakes up security agencies and urges militants' surrender
Somalia's president replaced his security chiefs on Thursday and called on al Qaida-linked al-Shabab insurgents to surrender within 60 days in return for education and jobs.
President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, speaking days after U.S. President Donald Trump's administration granted the U.S. military broader authority to carry out airstrikes in Somalia, said tackling the al-Shabab insurgency was his top priority.
"We have ordered all the security forces and military to be ready for making peace and today there is a new change in the military commanders, security officials," Mohamed, dressed in military uniform, told reporters.
Somalia has been at war since 1991, when clan-based warlords overthrew the president then turned on each other. A widespread drought has brought the country to the brink of famine and the U.N. says half the population will need aid by July.
Mohamed named a new military commander, director of national security and intelligence, commander of police and a new head of prison forces. He also appointed a new mayor for the capital Mogadishu.
U.S. forces have been carrying out drone strikes in Somalia in support of the government. Trump has given his military broader powers to attack militants even if they are not engaging partnered forces.
Mohamed did not mention the new U.S. directive, but emphasised that Somali troops should take the lead and added in a statement: "we want to pardon the Somali youth who were misled by al-Shabab.
"The government cordially welcomes them. We shall give them education; we shall create jobs for them. We do not want to kill our youth. We urge you again to leave al-Shabab as soon as possible. You have 60 days."
Al-Shabab, which aims to impose its own harsh version of Islam in Somalia, is carrying out increasingly deadly bombings despite losing most of its territory to a 22,000-strong African Union peacekeepers supporting the Somali government.
The group aims to expel the peacekeepers and topple Somalia's Western-backed government.
Among the new president's chief challenges will be paying his military, who rampaged through the streets of Mogadishu earlier this year, saying they had not received their $100 salaries for several months. (Reuters)

Will my micro SDHC memory card work?
Discussion in 'Acekard' started by Twilight Loz, Apr 29, 2009.
Soz if im double posting, (i think I made this thread before but I don't know if I did).
If I use my nokia 5800 micro SDHC card (8gb) on the acekard 2i, will it work on the acekard 2i?
And I bought my acekard 2i from Deal Extreme (im still waiting for it) but do they sell fake acekard 2i's and do they give the micro sd/sdhc card reader with the acekard 2i?
I was hoping that I would get a better answer than 'Yes, I believe it will work'.
I need to be sure, and what is formatting and how do I formatt?
If we give him/her an R4 they'll be back saying "This ROM isn't working blah blah blah" due to the R4's very poor compatibility. So why not just teach them how to use an Acekard?.
Formatting is a procedure which is used to lay out the memory of the storage device you are using. This is important when using ANY flashcard because the flashcard is constantly reading/writing information to it. For example, if you are playing a game, the flashcard is reading the MicroSD. So if its too slow, you will have lags in the game.
Yes your MicroSDHC should work perfectly. Use the Panasonic Formatter to format your MicroSDHC. Make sure you have a MicroSDHC reader or that if your computer has an SD slot, that it is SDHC compatible. People say to use the Panasonic Formatter because Windows does not have the correct knowledge to format the card to the best of its ability.
EDIT: DX does not sell Fake AK2i's but whether or not the SD reader that comes with it is SDHC Compatible is unknown to me.
No Micro SD card reader is included with the Acekard 2i from DealExtreme.
Are Nokia-branded SDHC even has classes? I was curious on how fast an 8 GB Nokia SDHC even has.
Yeah that should work fine as i tried a 4GB MircoSD from a Nokia phone and it ran fine, just make sure there's no phone stuff left on it. And for USB Card Readers my Recommendation is, Sandisk Mobile Micromate Reader as they are good value for money and especially easy to carry around.
The 2GB Nokia MicroSD that shipped with my N82, made the interface of the phone very slow.
I highly doubt that files on a Micro SD card can effect the performance of you're phone. If you're phone relies on a memory card to remain snappy then I laugh at you.
"A system update is required to use the microSDXC memory card"

Q: How to deal with custom exception using Pyro4? I'm trying to expose my classes using Pyro4. The problem is that my class has a custom exception that Pyro4 is not able to handle it.
I have tried using serialization but nothing seems to work.
What I have is:
# exception class
class TestException(Expection):
    pass

# test class
@Pyro4.expose
class Test:

   def get_exception(self):
       raise TestException("This is a random exception.")

Pyro4 is not able to raise the TestException. It give me an error:
{SerializedError}unsupported serialized class: TestException
Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Thanks.

A: You'll need to teach Pyro (or rather, the underlying Serpent serializer) that you agree to deserialize your custom exception class, and how it must do that.
Depending on this, you may also have to make sure both parties (client and server) have access to the same source module that defines your TestException class.
This is in the documentation. Specifically, https://pyro4.readthedocs.io/en/stable/clientcode.html#changing-the-way-your-custom-classes-are-de-serialized
It is for security reasons that this raises an error and requires programmer effort. (Deserializing random classes that you receive from the network is dangerous)
In the end it may be easier to just catch the exception in your Pyro server and raise one of the standard Python exceptions instead.

Martin has 'nose in front' to be Morgan's halves partner
Joel Gould NRL.com reporter
Mon 17 Dec 2018, 12:41 PM
New Zealand international Te Maire Martin is the front-runner to partner Michael Morgan in the halves in 2019 as North Queensland Cowboys coach Paul Green prepares to make two crucial calls in the post-Johnathan Thurston era.
The retired Cowboys legend will leave a massive void in both the halves, where he was a dominant force for the Cowboys in 14 seasons, and as a leader.
Martin and rising Queensland under 20s star Jake Clifford are the contenders to partner a fit Morgan.
Martin's partnership with Morgan at the back end of 2017, when Thurston was injured, was critical in the Cowboys' push towards the grand final.
Last season the 23-year-old Martin played off the bench, at fullback and five-eighth with Clifford being given his NRL debut in the closing rounds.
Who will captain the Cowboys?
Green has a high opinion of Clifford but suggested Martin had the inside running for round one.
"[Martin] is probably the more experienced out of him and Jake Clifford so I think he has probably got his nose in front a little bit at the moment," Green said.
"He is training really well, Te Maire. It is a big year for him.
"Last time we had JT not playing through injury he did a really good job. For Morgo and him if they can get back to the combo they were forming [in 2017] then that is what we are aiming for.
"[We] have a bit of depth there too with Jake Clifford... so there is healthy competition for spots which is what you want."

Martin's form at the end of 2017 was also a reflection of the certainty he had about his role, a scenario Green said he was keen to revisit.
"It was the most consistent he's played for us. He could get his head around where he was playing each week which gave him a bit of consistency from a preparation point of view which definitely helped him," he said.
"That will be the case this [coming] year too."
Green said he was yet to make a decision on who the captain would be for 2019.
Thurston and Matt Scott had been co-captains since 2011 but Green said he was "not a huge fan of co-captaincy" and that he would probably not go down that path again.
While he was keeping his cards very close to his chest it would seem logical that a player such as Morgan, who is on the field for the entirety of a game, would be the front-runner.
"It is a big decision and one we knew was coming. We've been putting plenty of work in to that area," Green said.
"When Johnathan retired that changes the dynamic with a lot of things, not just with playing but with the influence he had off the field as well.
"We've been working through some things in developing that leadership… and who is going to have the 'c' next to their name we will get to down the track.
"It is important that while we are training and trying to build that new feeling amongst the group that everyone has a role to play from that point of view, so at different times they will all have to be a leader."

Contraste é bom. Até melhor. Onde está a falha que o condena a uso irrisório?
A 15-year-old girl of Middle East origin was seen by a pediatrician because of suspected pituitary nanismus.
She had no cardiopulmonary symptoms, but the examination revealed a large nonobstructive, mobile, and apparently multicystic mass in the right ventricle.
All blood tests were normal including her infectious parameters, and she did not have serum antibodies to any Echinococcus species. An FDG PET-CT scan did not show any particular FDG activity in the mass. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed no signs of tumor infiltration into the myocardium, a feature supporting the suggestion of a benign tumor (Figure 3). It was decided to perform a flash-contrast echocardiography to elucidate the vascularity of the mass and the cyst-like structures (Figure 4). For the contrast echocardiography, a Vivid 7 (GE, Horten, Norway) ultrasound scanner was used, equipped with a 2.5-MHz probe. The echocontrast agent (Sonovue, Bracco, Inc, Milan, Italy; diluted in 10 mL isotonic sodium chloride) was administered intravenously with isotonic sodium chloride (approximately 250 mL/h) at constant rate (approximately 1 mL/min), which kept the contrast dissolved during the infusion. The scanner was adjusted to a low mechanical index to diminish contrast disruption, followed by short bursts of high mechanical index to destroy the contrast in the field of view, including the tumor (Figure 3B). During 15 consecutive heart beats, the perfusion in the tumor was semiquantitatively assessed by comparing contrast replenishment in the interventricular septum with contrast replenishment in the tumor.

Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" Is A Blazing Hot Hit You Need To Listen
In 1963, the world of country music was blessed with another iconic song – and it's none other than Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire." The single appeared on Cash's album, Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash.
Written by his wife June Carter Cash and singer-songwriter Merle Kilgore, the song tells the tale of June and Johnny Cash's relationship. June revealed that being around Cash felt like a "ring of fire" was surrounding her.
As Johnny Cash's career was taking off in the late 1950s, the country singer started drinking heavily and struggled with drug addiction. He faced a turning point in 1967 when June Carter was there to help him.
June's sister, Anita Carter, was actually the first to record the song – just a few months before The Man in Black did. However, when Cash heard Anita's version, the country legend claimed that he heard the song in his dream, and it was accompanied by "Mexican horns."
Cash made a deal with Anita, telling her that if she won't make a hit out of "Ring of Fire" within five or six months, he will record the song the way he feels it. He remarked that adding trumpets would absolutely change his basic sound.
Indeed, Cash had it his way! The song failed to become a big hit for Anita, and the country legend recorded the way he wanted it to be or the way he has heard it from his dream – adding the mariachi-style horns.
"Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash then became one of his biggest hits – reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart and holding that position for seven remarkable weeks.
Clearly, even if the country singer is recognized for a variety of profound Johnny Cash songs – his name will forever be connected with this fiery hit. You can listen to Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" in the video below.

The artistic opportunities made available by the popularization of DVD technology seem all but unexplored by a market driven by the repackaging of old product. That is untill now. Dose Hermanos, the worlds foremost psychedelic keyboard duo, have just released "Shadow of the Invisible Man", their first "Audio/Video Album" created especially for the DVD format. A product which has at it's creative core the possibilities made available by new technology.
"Dose Hermanos release first DVD "Album"
Using a new system of virtual mapping, Dose Hermanos is attaching sounds and images to the notes of their keyboards in real time. This "digital fingerpainting" as they call it allows you to see every note that they play including harmony. Or seen from a different angle they are performing movies live.
All the music on the DVD is improvised by these two keyboard masters (both of them symphonic composers who crossed paths while working with the Grateful Dead) who play you through synthesizers and lunar landscapes (Alien's Alley) to symphonic tone poems and impressionistic paintings (Seduction of the Demons). Each piece portraying music in a different way. Weaving their musical stories through the bluesy soft colors of the title track to the hard edged visual dance of the rock influenced "Urban Scrawl", they maximize the dramatic use of the 5.1 surround sound reaching musical, visual and sonic climaxes which are breathtaking and at times even humorous. Rythmic patterns fall into natural visual grooves which seem as driven by sight as they are by sound.
"This is the dawn of a new art form" says Dose Hermano Bob Bralove, "where we are not matching pictures and music but picture is music and music is picture. Music itself has always been the invisible man and as this art form takes birth Dose Hermanos has been lucky enough to find a way to record the first shadows of that man coming to light."
Produced by Bob Bralove, Associate Producer Hank Putek.

Rotary cutting, creasing and embossing tools in perfection. Testimonial.
Marbach built its own production hall in 2014 for its rotary tools product division. With that, Marbach created the capacity to meet the increasing need of high-tech rotary tools. Besides the production of rotary tools, services can be offered such as re-sharpening of tools as well as re-segmentation of Marbach and third-party tools.
A customer that benefits from this Marbach investment is Robert Asciak, production manager of APT in Vietnam. He is not only convinced by the performance of the Marbach tools but also by their delivery times.
Robert Asciak: "My experiences with rotary tools from Marbach have been very good. I recommend everyone to place their trust in Marbach quality. Because I see a significant difference in Marbach compared to other manufacturers of rotary tools. We have significantly better performance with regard to cutting capacity and tool life span since we began using Marbach tools. As a result we have benefited not only from excellent product quality but also high productivity and low costs.
Asciak is only one of many operators that were able to significantly increase their productivity through the use of Marbach rotary tools.

Entertainment: Joakim Noah Helps Bring Lenny Cooke's Story to the Screen
December 12, 2013 · by weareregalradio · in Basketball, Chicago Bulls, Culture, Current Events, High Schools, Movies, NBA, Random ish. ·

Regal Radio's man in NYC, Scoop B, dispatches the latest that we should know in sports and pop culture from the East Coast and beyond
Brandon Robinson, WARR contributor
At one time, Lenny Cooke was a man amongst young boys on the courts where the future of basketball was being formed. That time was 2001.
In 2001, Lenny Cooke was considered the top high school basketball player in America. As a high schooler, the Brooklyn native was ranked higher than those who would come to define the NBA in the following 10 years — LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire among them. But for Lenny, his last 10 years have been more of a search for redemption and a true meaning of life done so far away from the Showtime lights of the Association.
Last week, the world was finally given the opportunity to catch up with Lenny Cooke as a self-titled documentary chronicling his life debuted at Lincoln Center in Manhattan.
It may already be an era that's starting to fade, but for one several-year stretch going straight from high school to the pros was close to the norm in regards to the brightest basketball prospects — many who did not do it were seen as fools for not doing so, regardless of if they truly possessed the right skills or not.
Unlike many that didn't have the skills, Cooke seemed primed and ready to make a splash in the NBA before he received a high school diploma. Starting at that heady time in his life, the documentary — directed by brothers Josh and Benjamin Safdie — goes back in time starting in '01 and chronicles the life of a guy who had it all laid out for him at an early age: fame, money, free gear of all sorts, limos and surrounded amongst celebrities and their hangers-on.
"The biggest thing is we wanted to tell his story chronologically and from his perspective," Benjamin Safdie told Regal Radio of Cooke.
All-star center Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls' was an executive producer of the movie. Noah knew Cooke going back to those early days when he was relatively new to the prep basketball scene in New York and Cooke stood as a large influence.
"(The movie is) a very real story about someone who had a profound impact on shaping my life and career," Noah told Regal Radio. "And about someone who I admired as a child and am very proud of as an adult."
After his sophomore year of high school, Cooke's family moved from Brooklyn to Virginia but Lenny didn't want to leave the borough, as a compromise he moved to Old Tappan, New Jersey and in the home of a woman named Debbie who would be his well-lucrative care taker for the next couple years.
While in Old Tappan, Cooke played basketball at Northern Valley High School and averaged 25 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and two blocks per game in his junior year, establishing himself as the can't miss prospect of his graduating class, with correspondence from every college in America flooding his doorstep.
The documentary effectively turns at a time when Cooke's real life made a turn and that's when he went head-to-head with a then-unknown LeBron James, who then was coming out of a successful sophomore season at Akron, Ohio's St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School.
The stage was the Adidas ABCD Basketball Camp in the summer of 2001. Cooke was the life of the party at the camp, he was silly and fun but he was unmistakably talented.
"He just enjoyed life, from my perspective," said former Seton Hall University guard Jamar Nutter, who played at ABCD Camp with Cooke.
Matched up in their battle, James hit a last second shot over Cooke at the buzzer to propel his team to a win at the Camp and in doing so propelled his name into the top echelon of basketball prospects while taking some shine off the previous young Prince of Brooklyn. Months later, James would appear on the front cover of Sports Illustrated magazine with the title "The Chosen One" above him and Cooke started a stretch of inactivity that began his long decent.
Soon after the camp, Cooke — a 19-year-old senior — was deemed academically ineligible to play high school basketball in New Jersey, whose rules mandate that student-athletes do not play past the age of 18. Cooke didn't play basketball as a senior in high school and didn't have the grades to accept a Division 1 scholarship to play on that level. After graduating high school, Cooke declared for the 2002 NBA Draft, believing in the opinion of agents who said he was a sure lottery pick. Cooke ultimately went undrafted.
Despite the fact that Cooke didn't make it to the highest levels of ball, he's never been in trouble with the law or provided himself any other obstacles that tragically hinder players in their development. Arguably, Cooke didn't make it because the game too easy to him and it didn't hold his interest like it did others who were obsessed by it.
"I've never been in trouble, been on drugs or nothing like that," Cooke says.
He thinks that his partying and hanging out at all hours of the night were reasons why NBA executives didn't want to take a chance on him. After going undrafted, Cooke bounced around semi-pro basketball leagues in the United States and abroad, looking to continue his NBA dream. It never became a reality, but Cooke says he has no regrets.
"At the time I was young and immature," Cooke said.
The movie also gives an inside look in the special relationship that he had with Anthony, who at one time also looked up to Cooke on the East Coast AAU scene.
"Some of the advice I gave, I wish I would have took," said Cooke.
Noah is glad the story is being told.
"It is easy to tell stories about your success, but extremely courageous to do the same with your failures," Noah said.
At a recent screening of Lenny Cooke in Manhattan, co-director Josh Safdie said Lenny is still a redeeming figure.
"Some people's destiny is to become superstars in the NBA, other people's destiny is to be a superstar in life. I think Lenny falls into the later category."
In 2005, a clause in the NBA's collective bargaining agreement disallowed players to declare for the NBA draft right after graduating high school, players now have to be at least a year removed from that graduation. Years removed from his playing days — when making the jump from high school was allowed — Cooke agrees with the the way things stand now.
"I think it's a good idea that they changed that coming out of high school," Cooke told Regal Radio. "The kids right now physically are not ready at this point in time in basketball. They need to be mentally tough. I think it was a good idea to change it."
Lenny Cooke has played in select theaters in New York and Chicago and will debut in Los Angeles on December 13. For more information on the film check out the movie's website.

(JTA) – A Jewish cemetery in New York state's Orange County was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti.
The outer wall of the cemetery in Warwick, a suburban town about 90 minutes north of Manhattan, was covered in black spray-painted swastikas and the words "Heil Hitler" and "SS," the Times Herald-Record reported Sunday. The vandalism had been discovered by police that morning.
Though the wall is not high, it was not breached and the gravestones were not vandalized, according to the newspaper. A Catholic cemetery across the street owned by the 70-year-old Temple Beth Shalom of the Village of Florida was not vandalized.
"I promise you, Kol Nidre will not be the same this year," she said, referring to Tuesday night's onset of Yom Kippur.

13-year old viral star Keedron Bryant shares music video for his poignant single I Just Want to Live
July 27th, 2020 by KRNB
Courtesy of Warner RecordsKeedron Bryant brought the world to tears with his powerhouse voice on his Black Lives Matter anthem, "I Just Wanna Live."
Today, the 13-year old viral star shares a provoking Sara Lacombe-directed visual that captures the urgency of the song's message of change and the pain of the state of the world.
The video opens with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, with the American flag as its backdrop. Byrant appears on his knees and raises his head to see a visibly angry white police officer holding a gun to his face, while surrounded by a group of people.
The names of Eric Brown, George Floyd, Freddie Gray, Breonna Taylor, and other Black men and women who died at the hands of police began to appear on the screen, painted on a Black body.
Other clips include a black hoodie with Skittles hanging out the pocket, as a reminder of the murder of Trayvon Marton, who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in 2012.
"I Just Wanna Live" was released last month's as Keedron's major-label debut. He signed with Warner Records following his powerful acapella performance of the song in May.
Since getting his big break during season four of Little Big Shots, Bryant has turned heads and received tons of praise from the likes of Will Smith, LeBron James, gospel legend Kirk Franklin and former President Barack Obama.

Iowa is one of only two states that has resisted the national trend of past decades to restore the right to vote to those convicted of a felony who have served their sentence. At the urging of Governor Kim Reynolds, the Iowa legislature is considering whether to initiate the process that would amend the state constitution to grant ex-offenders voting rights as they gain the opportunity to become full participants in society.
As standard procedure, Iowa law follows a strict protocol that permanently suspends the voting rights of anyone convicted of a felony. Ex-offenders have the option of petitioning the governor to restore their voting rightson completion of their sentences, any required probation, parole, or supervised release, and after paying court costs, fees and restitution. The decision is made on a case-to-case basis, at the discretion of the executive office. In spite of efforts to simplify the process in recent years, it remains a daunting prospect and one the vast majority fail to complete or even attempt. to the vast majority and few complete .
As Catholics, we don't abandon those that commit crimes, and consider it our obligation to assist those who undertake the process of addressing the damage they have inflicted and are working to repay their debt to the community. The common good can't be served by rejecting them in their effort to rejoin society as contributing, law-abiding members. We are called to support, not obstruct, that reintegration and restoration, for the benefit of all.
Civic participation is a moral obligation of our faith teaching, and exercising the right and responsibility of participating as voters is a key component. Restoring the right to those convicted of a felony who have satisfied their debt is a measure of mercy, but also dignity and justice. The Iowa Catholic Conference supports amending the state constitution to create a path that imposes fewer barriers and is less arbitrary while protecting the interests of the people of the state.

Manchester United Humiliated by Tottenham Hotspurs
By Leslie Steeves | Published October 5, 2020
The Head Coach of Tottenham Hotspurs witnessed the destruction of his former club, Manchester United. Jose Mourinho met against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the 1st time since losing his position as Head Coach in 2018. Millions watched as Tottenham Hotspur & Manchester United competed against each other, with the skillsets of Jose Mourinho's coaching capabilities coming to light within two minutes.
Victory over Manchester United at 6-1 is unbelievable for Jose Mourinho. The former Head Coach hadn't experienced a positive stint when training Manchester United, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer finding more success at the club. Similar results were seen for Jose Mourinho when he took over the Tottenham Hotspurs, who he's retrofitted in two seasons. This became evident when Manchester United experienced this crushing defeat of 6 to 1, which hasn't happened since the 1930s. It's almost been a century since a loss of such stature was experienced for the Premier Leagues most famous team.
Jose Mourinho expressed sympathy for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, telling that his replacement at Manchester United isn't likely sleeping after that loss. Solskjaer was upset by the loss, noting to Sky Sports after the match that what had happened was embarrassing & hurt all footballers on his squad. Ole Gunnar expressed that October 4th marked his careers worst day yet and won't permit it to happen a second time. Solskjaer took full responsibility for the 6-1 loss.
Manchester United was outpaced against Tottenham Hotspur, a football club that's maintained eight games throughout twenty-two days. This means that their access to training, practice, and competition was limited in-comparison to Manchester United. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should've had prepared his club better with enhanced strategies. Instead, the Manchester United Head Coach kept to standard protocols that could easily be predicted by Jose Mourinho. It's this core element that prompted the Tottenham Hotspurs to overcome MUFC and gain their first goal within thirty-seconds of the match starting.
It'll be hard for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to overcome this loss. Team morale will likely be low & players will be hard to reach for motivation. Similar problems were seen with Jose Mourinho, which indicates that footballers contracted by Manchester United stop listening to coaching advice at some point.

Q: how can we read the exact potentiometer value? Can you please How can we check if we have the correct value from a potentiometer in a circuit?
thanks for your help

A: You use a Wheatstone Bridge.
Wheatstone Bridge
A Wheatstone Bridge is a simple circuit that allows you to determine the resistance of a resistor with an unknown value. The circuit uses a voltage source, two resistors with known values, an adjustable resistor (potentiometer or resistor you swap out by hand), and a volt meter. You adjust the value of the adjustable resistor until the voltmeter reads zero. At that point, you use Kirchoffs laws to calculate the value of the unknown resistor.
Or, use a constant current source, run it through the potentiometer, read the voltage across the potentiometer, and calculate the resistance with V = IR .
There are lots of other ways to do this as well I'm sure.

Articles Authors Five Minutes With Romance The London Book Fair
Five Minutes With: Esther Erman, Author, "The Journey Of Rebecca"
Anyone who has loved and lost knows that Ivanhoe's Rebecca deserves a fair chance at love, unfettered by social conventions or circumstances. And that makes her one of the most enduring heroines in the romance genre. For this Valentine's Day edition, Esther Erman explains the universality of this character, explored in her up-and-coming trilogy, The Journey Of Rebecca.

Tell us more about the trilogy you're working on, The Journey Of Rebecca. It's based on the character of Rebecca in Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. How did you get inspired to expand on her character?
I was inspired to write the trilogy based on Rebecca of Ivanhoe's story because I found her such a fascinating character, I thought there was more to say about her after Scott wrote "The End".
Of course, in many ways she was almost too good to be true – a case of "heroine" worship by Scott. While she was pretty terrific as originally conceived, it's great to have the opportunity to make her a more human heroine. Definitely not perfect, definitely more nuanced than we see in the original. The original is two centuries old. There have been changes in how we write our novels.
Poster of the Hollywood film, Ivanhoe, starring King Baggot as Wilfred of Ivanhoe. Through the novel, Scott examines the effect that the lengthy Crusades on the English, who have been neglected at home, and the tension that exists between the Norman elites and those under their rule. Ivanhoe is built around the events that lead to the conception of the Magna Carta. Image source: Wikipedia / Independent Moving Pictures
Why chose a medieval setting? Historically, the timeline in which Ivanhoe is set was a very challenging time for people of the Jewish faith. What manner of redemption do you hope to deliver through Rebecca's journey?
The medieval setting is part of the "heritage" of basing my books on Walter Scott's. I start the first book pretty much ten years after the end of Ivanhoe. It's a time of great upheaval for pretty much everyone in Europe, not only the Jews.
At the start of my novel, the Fourth Crusade has just failed. In fact, the disgruntled crusaders sacked Constantinople, then a Christian city. The crusaders returning to western Europe were not a happy or peaceful bunch. In England, after the death of King Richard, Coeur de Lion, who as Ivanhoe's king, his awful younger brother had claimed the crown.
King John was so awful, in a few years after my book's setting, his nobles forced him to sign the Magna Carta. So this was a time of lots of upheaval – hard to live through, great for fiction.
"Her nature and the nature of society didn't support her longing to be a 'romantic' heroine."
How do you research for a medieval romance? How do you weave the facts with the fiction? How far can you go with the poetic license?
Research for the novel has been a combination of lots of reading, fiction and non-fiction, and, I'm happy and lucky to say, lots of travel to the actual sites. Though I live in the US, I visit my son, who lives in England, twice a year — and get to add on other sites. York, a setting for the original Ivanhoe, is one of my favourite cities in the world.
Walter Scott made many historical errors and had a definite axe to grind with his book. These days, readers are not as indulgent with authors about errors. That said, I'm writing fiction. There's no way my vocabulary can be authentic for the era and readable for most readers (even if I could write it). The original Rebecca was not a faithful portrait of a Jewish woman of the era — not in the original, not in my version. Poetic license definitely needed there!
"This was a time of lots of upheaval – hard to live through, great for fiction."
Love takes courage. Rebecca dares to love Ivanhoe. But unlike the usual 'unrequited love' trope that's popularised in characters such as Eponine (Les Miserables) and Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights), Rebecca endures heartbreak – and then moves abroad. She's not a tragedy. She's a survivor. Do you think we need to see more lead characters like this in historical romance genre, and not just in supporting roles?
Yes, her continuing on after Ivanhoe is definitely a tale of surviving and thriving! In the first sequel, she does have her moments of melancholy, but her nature and the nature of society didn't support her longing to be a "romantic" heroine. I suppose there is a place for the sad sighing stories. I understand at time even Dickens's Miss Havisham has been portrayed as more textured than the original. But I also feel there haven't been enough powerful heroines who have a story "after". I'd like to see a variety of heroines for people to read.

Yonder Mountain String Band / The Travelin' McCourys
For the past 20 years, Yonder Mountain String Band has redefined bluegrass music, expanding the traditional acoustic genre beyond its previously established boundaries by steadily pushing the envelope into the realms of rock n' roll and improvisation. YMSB-guitarist Adam Aijala, bassist Ben Kaufmann, banjo player Dave Johnston, Jacob Joliff on mandolin and violinist Allie Kral-has always played music of their own design, in the process attracting a devout following of fans that often resembles a tight-knit family on an epic musical journey as Yonder traverses the country with an ambitious tour schedule. Yonder is a quintessential ensemble honing its craft night after night on the road, and the fans are there to experience it in real time. The result is music that doesn't stand still, it's always progressing and breaking unprecedented ground.

The Travelin' McCourys
From a source deep, abundant, and pure the river flows. It's there on the map, marking place and time. Yet, the river changes as it remains a constant, carving away at the edges, making new pathways, gaining strength as it progresses forward. The Travelin' McCourys are that river.
The McCoury brothers- Ronnie (mandolin) and Rob (banjo) – were born into the bluegrass tradition. Talk about a source abundant and pure: their father, Del, is among the most influential and successful musicians in the history of the genre. Years on the road with Dad in the Del McCoury Band honed their knife-edge chops, and encouraged the duo to imagine how traditional bluegrass could cut innovative pathways into 21st century music.
"If you put your mind, your skills, and your ability to it, I think you can make just about anything work on bluegrass instruments," says Ronnie. "That's a really fun part of this- figuring the new stuff out and surprising the audience."
With fiddler Jason Carter, bassist Alan Bartram, and latest recruit Cody Kilby on guitar, they assembled a group that could take what they had in their DNA, take what traditions they learned and heard, and push the music forward. In fact, the band became the only group to have each of its members recognized with an International Bluegrass Music Association Award for their instrument at least once. There were peers, too, that could see bluegrass as both historic and progressive. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Allman Brothers Band, improv-rock kings Phish, and jamband contemporary Keller Williams were just a few that formed a mutual admiration society with the ensemble.

Pilots reveal the disturbing secrets from the job
While they were flying a rookie pilot looked over at the co-pilot next to him, who had gone quiet. Then he realised something terrible.
What your Pilot really does on a flight
Ever wondered what your airline pilot does during a flight? The answer might be surprising!
Pilots have revealed some secret stories from the cockpit.Source:istock
One of the most horrifying anecdotes from yesterday's "Disturbing secrets of flight attendants" was from a pilot, not a hostie.
This makes sense. Whatever flight attendants may be hiding from you, your life is rarely in their hands.
Since I enjoy scary stories — and readership data suggests you enjoy being scared — here's round two, from the pilots, via the New Zealand Herald. You can read Part One here.
Muffingrinder has this tale to tell.
"Not me but my dad, first years with Delta Airlines in the '90s as a navigator (back when they still had them) he was working a flight crossing the Atlantic and a passenger died (nothing dramatic, he was old and had a heart condition).
"This particular plane had a gap between a wall and a row of seats so my dad had to be the one to move the body there and cover it with a blanket. Some people were bound to notice but a portion of the plane didn't know until all the drama that ensued when they pulled up to the gate."
Redditor Giftofnarwhals reminds us why fear of flying is a valid fear.
"I used to work with elderly people and one of my clients was a former pilot that finally quit when he realised in the middle of a flight his dementia had progressed and he couldn't remember where he was supposed to be flying to. Meaning he had been flying for a commercial airline with dementia for quite some time before that."
There's plenty happening in the cockpit we passengers don't realise — including some things we probably don't want to know.Source:istock
Many pilots had close calls at the beginning of their careers, like Plototicsux.
"Had an engine die on me when I was adjusting to landing configuration settings. I was maybe 30 seconds out from the runway. My hand was already on the right lever to fix the issue. My instincts from using crappy lawnmowers as a child kicked in and I was able to restart the plane almost instantly with momentum from the propeller.
"My only passenger was also my flight instructor but it happened fast enough I wasn't sure if he realised it wasn't just me fiddling with the controls. I looked over at his face and he had been more scared than me."
TopGun966 has a thrilling story from when they were a 14-year-old student pilot. They explained they needed to ask permission to pass through Detroit Airport airspace at the end of a flight.
"A few minutes before I was about to call for permission, my instructor goes really quiet. I looked over at him and he looked really bad. I thought he was going to puke so looking for a bag. But then I notice he isn't breathing," they said.
"I figure out where I am at and call up Detroit approach. I declare a medical emergency and that my instructor was not breathing. I also told them I am a student and never landed on my own before, and never in a large airport. Detroit approach was amazing at helping me.
"Anyway, did my approach and made the most butter smooth landing I have ever made in my life (even till this day). Ambulance was right there on the taxi waiting for me. Turns out my instructor (who was only 25) had a heart attack. He ended up being OK."
A pilot says when he was training his instructor had a heart attack in the cockpit in skies over Detroit.Source:istock
Nofetebutwhatwemake once had a challenging flight.
"I'm a Certified Flight Instructor at this point and I'm flying with a student," they said.
"We see a spider in the cockpit. I'm OK with spiders but I don't want it distracting the student so I mash it. Student missed the spider but saw my movement and asked what it was. [I told him.] Turns out the student is scared of spiders. For the rest of that flight I had to squish spiders [constantly] as they [were emerging] from a nest I had just spotted in the back of the plane. He never knew."
SMALL PLANES
Many anecdotes related to smaller planes. Make of that what you will.
VigourousRapscallion says: "I heard my pilot in an Alaska bush plane tell another pilot he needed to get his emergency kit back from him before he was inspected again. The one with the fire extinguisher and GPS beacon."
8MAC wishes his small plane pilot had kept things to themselves, too.
"I was once on a very small plane while in Costa Rica. Plane could only handle certain weight, so they weighed us holding our bags. About 8 people plus two pilots on the plane. No walls so you can hear and see everything," he said.
"Someone says to the pilot, loudly, that they are a bit over the maximum weight. Pilot shrugs and takes off.
"I wish they had kept that secret."
Capilot had a close call in a small plane.
"Taking off from Burning Man, with a couple of passengers. About a minute after takeoff, the engine died. There's a checklist you're supposed to follow, but I didn't follow it," they admitted.
"I glanced at the gauges, saw the fuel pressure was low, hit the auxiliary fuel pump, and the engine came back to life. It happened so fast that the passengers didn't even notice it."
Many pilots have terrifying tales of close calls.Source:istock
NICE SAVE
"Commercial pilot here," LookoutBel0w said.
"I was flying myself and three passengers over the Appalachian mountain on a clear day. We hit some mild turbulence and the door opened to the cabin. The passengers all started panicking so I basically said 'Chill out guys, this happens all the time' and tried closing the door. I couldn't get it shut while also flying the plane so I simply landed at a nearby airfield and closed it on the ground."
Real talk: That does NOT happen all the time.
Californiahapamama is another person who overheard something she wishes she hadn't.
"I had a similar experience as a passenger on Christmas Day 1997," she said.
"Flight was fine until we passed the mountain range just north of the airport. From that point on it was like a bad rollercoaster. Most of us passengers were white knuckling it, except for my infant son who laughed at every lurch.
"I was one of the last people off the plane because I was having to haul the baby and his carseat off, and either the pilot or co-pilot came off behind me with a flight attendant, and one said to the other 'I wasn't sure we were going to make it down in one piece.' Not something I wanted to overhear."
Odgvbbv added to the conversation.
"Not a pilot but a flight attendant," they said. "We landed, everything went smoothly, as we're deplaning the pilot steps out of the flight deck and goes 'Wow, I'm glad we made it, we lost two hydraulics on the way down.'"
Even helicopter pilots have their hairy moments.Source:istock
Chopperguy has this cautionary tale around, you guessed it, choppers.
"Robinson helicopters are known for having issues with 'mast bumping' in flight. This is when the helicopter becomes momentarily weightless during flight, and can cause the main hub in the centre of the blades to grind against itself and fall off. This could happen when you encounter strong turbulence or push the cyclic (stick) forward too fast.
"Robinson hasn't really done a whole lot over the years to fix the problem, except basically tell pilots to fly safer and avoid turbulence or dramatic movements. Many people have died from it. You don't want your rotor blades falling off during flight. Most people don't understand this can happen."
Mechanics have seen a close call or two at the airport.
"[Once] we had a flight land and unload. As they do," they said.
"We then went to work and had an inspection on the fan blades. So being a very routine check we pulled them all out not really thinking about it. Inspector came and started doing an eddy current test on the tangs that keep the fan blade attached to the engine with a pin. He's usually just looking for scratches, about as big as a hair, that could turn into a crack. Well this time he got to one and we just hear him say 'Holy sh*t'.
"Now usually that just means the blade failed by a large margin. Instead of a scratch the size of one hair its usually the size of two. Not really an issue as we just replace the blade. However this time he just says, 'I don't even need to use the machine for this one.. Its failed.' We take a look and one of the 4 tangs is just completely cracked. We have no idea how long it flew like that."
And yes, they have evidence.
This confession is for the unfortunate few of us who are married to someone in the airline industry, with an offensive acronym to match: "Divorce rates for pilots are exceptionally high. (It is referred to colloquially as) Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome."
VitiminNJ quipped back: "I'd go as far as to say most if not all the divorced pilots I've met would have been divorced regardless of profession."
CRAPPY CLIENTS
As usual, it's the non-professionals who are the REAL problem.
"I thought I was going to have the month off but my boss made me secretly fly his wife to Florida so she could get her hair done even though he shut down the government and wouldn't let some other politicians fly on official government business. He's really an a**hole and I hate working for him."
Guess who, don't sue.
