As of October 18th of this year, we have been living on our farm for three years, and entering our fourth. So what have I learned since last year? Well, probably not much, I'd say! This summer pretty much melted any last remnant of a brain cell I had left, but I'll try….
1. If I have said this already, I apologize, but here goes: Don't plant what you won't eat. Sounds ridiculously simple, doesn't it? But what another farm woman once said to me always rings in my ears every time I'm wading through 47 tons of banana peppers. I can grow a banana pepper like you won't believe, but I don't eat them. How dumb is that? Sure we chop one up now and then and add it in our eggs, and I tried my hand at canning them, but they just ain't my thang. So why do I currently have about 10 plants out in my garden fully loaded? Beats me. But I'm telling YOU not to do that. So when I get tempted by those little banana pepper plants in the spring, I'll toss them to the side this time! Seriously though, why waste your time and water to take care of something that you will end up composting? Just don't!
2. Good fences make sane farmers. Okay, just go ahead and forget those idyllic, pastoral scenes of a farm that we grew up with in story books. If you are to have any sanity whatsoever, you have to put up good fences to keep your livestock contained and separated, and to keep predators out. Just go ahead and forget that image you have of Mr. Pig, a flock of chickens (many with chicks), Mr. Horse, and various other critters all happily intermingling in perfect harmony whilst standing in your garden.
Let me tell you what really happens. Chickens allowed in your garden can totally destroy a tomato crop in minutes, not to mention eat up all of the winter rye you just set out (ask me how I know this). They also make the biggest most God-awful mess you've ever seen out of your garden paths. Oh, and they also loooooove to make their sand bath pits right by your baby blueberry bushes, which leads to their demise. Not to mention the fact that they enjoy flying over their (too low) fence into the neighbor's yard, which contains two chicken-eating dogs.
Goats eat just about everything. That also includes your newly transplanted grapevines and your new herb garden.
Pigs will eat a chicken. Don't ask.
Geese leave Chihuahua sized grass poo pretty much wherever you even thought about stepping.
Turkeys love watermelon leaves. Not the vines so much, just the leaves. And figs. Lots of figs. Hope you didn't want any melons or figs this year!
The point is, I have seen many people posting about their critters in total desperation. Either the critters ate up their garden/messed up their yard or porch or whatever/got eaten by a predator. You can't just get animals and then have no proper place to put them. For your sake and theirs, get up some strong, good fences and a secure place to pen them up at night to avoid those unwanted surprises. Like fresh goose poo between your toes or your melon patch completely devoid of leaves.
3. Don't forget the most important animal enclosure of all….your home! I don't know how we managed to stay sane over the past 2.5 winters. Seriously, last Christmas I was hoping Santa would bring me a blowtorch and a can of gas to rid myself of our freezing abode. It's one thing to be a bit chilly in your house; quite another to be wearing 2 pair of socks, 3 pair of pants, 3 shirts, a robe, a hat, and a quilt and still be cold. I'm pretty sure that the chicken coop was warmer. If it is at all possible to use some extra funds to upgrade your living situation, I say go for it. I'm not talking about a 60″ TV, either. We're talking about insulation, new electric wiring, new (non-leaky) plumbing fixtures, new roof, etc. This year was a major year for us in the Home Improvement department. In February, we insulated the attic big time, and by August, we had invested in a new roof and all new cedar and cypress siding. Not to mention all of the little stuff we've done in-between, like fix leaky pipes and stuff like that. No reason for the chickens to be living in more comfortable quarters than you are!
Yes, yes, yes to all your advice. . . . listen to her, Folks, she knows what she's talking about!
But honestly, Amanda, you've done more in 3 years than most other people get done in 10!
Thanks! We are really busy peeps!
You growing banana peppers reminded me of this line from Steel Magnolias. Ouiser Boudreaux (Shirley McLaine) was giving away tomatoes because even though she grew them, she didn't like/eat them.
Lol, I remember that now! On a funny note, I took this quiz one time to see which S.M. character I'd end up to be. Of course, it was Ouiser. I shouldn't be surprised, should I?

I wont review the plot as so many have already, but I will add that I too thought this was a wonderful historical romance - one of the best in this great series. The hero and heroine make this story come alive, as both are filled with humor and passion that compliment each other so well. The writing is wonderful and it kept me enthralled while never taking unnecessary or unbelievable turns in the story. You can feel these two slowly fall in love, and when they finally come together it is a smoking hot moment. One thing JAL is great at is building a believable and beautiful relationship with her hero and heroine before the 'consummation', and then delivering a very emotional and powerful (and heated!) coming together. JAL writing is top notch in this novel. Loved it just as much the second time through. Sigh.


This will be our last topic that we will cover in Year 2!
We are going to be looking at different celebrations from across the world and how they are celebrated in different countries.
This is a brilliant topic to end our year with, I am really looking forward to it!
We are very excited to be starting our new topic this term. We will be looking at a huge variety of animals and their habitats from around the world. The children are very enthusiastic about this topic so please encourage them at home to find out any interesting facts and bring them in to share with us all! We would love to find the most fascinating fact possible!
This term, we are looking at People of the Past.
We have been exploring famous people from our city of Liverpool and in our country. Such as John Lennon, Cilla Black, Bill Shankly from Liverpool and in the UK Mary Queen of Scots, Roald Dahl, Queen Elizabeth I. We have looked at why they are famous and what made them so memorable.
Dress up- Thursday 14th December.
To complete our topic 'People of the Past', we would like to invite the children to dress up as a famous person from the past. During the day we will hold a catwalk show to show each child as their chosen person.
Florence Nightingale- long dress, mop cap.
Christopher Columbus- binoculars and a map.
If you need any more help or advice, please do not hesitate to ask any of the Year 2 Staff.

Q: how to select all items in zsh? in bash, we can say
dnf install <some-pkg>-*

or
rm -rf *.jpg

but when I'm using zsh, it doesn't do anything with the star (*) character!
how can I do those commands on zsh?!

A: These are two different uses of globs. With dnf, you expect dnf itself to expand the pattern against the available packages. With rm, you are expecting the shell to expand the pattern against the files in the current directory and passing the resulting names to rm.
In bash, the default behavior is for a pattern that doesn't match anything to be treated as a literal string. That's why the dnf example works in bash: when there are no local files matching <some-pkg>-*, the literal string is passed to zsh.
The solution is to quote strings that you intended to be treated literally, instead of relying on your shell's treatment of unmatched patterns. The following will work as intended in both shells:
dnf install "<some-pkg>.*"
rm -rf *.jpg

In both shells, you can change how unmatched patterns are treated. To make zsh act like the bash default, use
setopt NO_NOMATCH

To make bash behave like the zsh default, you could use
shopt -s failglob

A: Probably, the globbing is disabled on your zsh. Enable it using the below command in zsh:
setopt GLOB

El Saltamontes is luxurious by any fishing standard. The lodge has only eight to ten fishermen and four non-fishers each week. The lodge is constructed completely from local timber and stones from the river.
The home river is the Rio Nireguao which has proven to be an amazing fishery for brown trout with the fish feeding almost exclusively on hoppers. Even the lodge's name means grasshopper.
Most of the fishing is close to the lodge and fishing conditions range from easy to moderately demanding at El Saltamontes. The vast majority of the fishing is done with a floating line with rods in the 4 to 6-weight range. Occasionally, a heavy rain may briefly cloud the water, making streamers as effective as dries, but most of the fishing is done with surface flies, particularly large terrestrials.
Much of this river flows through high desert grasslands. In addition to the many miles of 4-wheel drive accessible river that flows through the ranch itself, El Saltamontes also has the fishing rights to lots of other water. For example there is a beautiful canyon stretch that is only accessible by raft. The Nireguao is wonderfully forgiving with open banks for easy casting and gravel bottoms that make wading a pleasure. Average fish are 12-18 inches with specimens over 20 inches possible.
Outside the ranch, El Saltamontes has a number of outstanding small streams for the adventurous fly fisher. One little waterway flows into a small lake and another small river has miles of miniature riffles, runs and crystalline pools, full of aggressive 10-18 inch trout that love to take hoppers. There is also the upper Nireguao itself, a smallish spring creek with miniature meadow banks and riffles which are home to gorgeously-marked brown trout averaging 12 inches.
Falling under this broad category of lagoons are a large number of what can best be described as ponds, ranging in size from pools, not much more than a couple of rod lengths in width, up to small lakes of an acre or two in size. Some of these are ancient oxbow lakes while others are spring fed. They are fascinating fisheries, and consistently hold larger browns than the main river. Trout are usually in the 18-20-inch range, with fish over 30 inches occasionally hooked.
There are a number of stillwaters available including Lago El Saltamontes. Using the lodge's pontoon boats most of the shoreline can be covered. Including cliffs, logjams and weedbeds, this lake has a lot of good structure. Large browns are often found hugging the shoreline in very shallow water. The fish enjoy dragonflies, damselflies, grasshoppers, beetles, caddis, mayflies and midges on their daily menu. Many river fishermen have reconsidered their view of fishing stillwaters!
The infrastructure of El Saltamontes consists of four buildings, all constructed from local river-worn stone and rough hewn logs. It is the creative mixture of rustic building materials and fine furnishings that lends El Saltamontes Lodge its unique charm.
The main lodge is an impressive building with high ceilings and two immense fireplaces. The living room is furnished with antiques, cosy leather sofas and rich rugs and there is an adjoining bar.
The dining room seats a maximum of 15 people intimately around a heavy, antique table, and fireplace. Huge picture windows provide a back drop of dramatic Andean peaks.
The four guest cabins are all within a short walk from the main lodge and have river views. Built of stone, they are solid, roomy and comfortable. Each of the cabins has two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The bedrooms are accessed from opposite sides of a cozy living room.
Amongst the cabins and woods is a spa. There is an open air, wood-fired hot tub, and a hot sauna and a massage room complete the little spa area.
The cuisine at El Saltamontes is nothing short of gourmet. Talented chefs deliver meal after meal of mouth-watering regional specialties and the cellar is stocked with a good selection of local Chilean wines.
Just beyond the main Lodge is the quincho, a three-sided building with a huge fireplace. A traditional structure on all ranches, the quincho allows outdoor dining in sheltered comfort.
Unique hopper fishing and excellent for non-fishing activities.

Coronavirus impacts Augusta's homeless
by: Chris Shipman
Posted: Aug 2, 2020 / 08:05 AM EDT / Updated: Aug 4, 2020 / 05:49 PM EDT
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – With most working-class Augustans having the luxury to quarantine in their homes during this pandemic, for the homeless, that's not the case. According to Augusta Housing & Community Development Manager Daniel J. Evans, there has been a slight increase in homelessness in the area.
"There are 470 total persons experiencing homelessness on a single night in January of 2020. Of that number, 282 people experienced unsheltered homelessness," said Evans.
The Point-in-Time (PIT) Count that Augusta Housing uses to document how many homeless people are sheltered and unsheltered in the area highlights that there are a total of 51 adults with children that are considered homeless. Out of that 51, a total of 21 adults with children are unsheltered.

Cisro Wallace, who is part of the unsheltered homeless community in Augusta, said there has been difficulty in finding a place to rest his head for almost 17 years. He expressed his concern for people in his position by saying there have been certain instances where there should have been more done in helping the homeless in Augusta.
"We have not been receiving food and we have not been receiving clothes. Some people get housing, and some get spiritually advised," said Wallace.
The Salvation Army Area Commander, Major Douglas McClure, said although they have been providing a place to quarantine for 24-hours a day for almost 100 days straight, there have been challenges.
"One of the biggest things is resource development. One of the biggest things is trying to find enough food to feed people and to make sure we have enough money for additional staff and security," said McClure.
McClure also said during the hours of operation at Salvation Army, they have provided three meals and two snacks on top of what they gave the community, which was 40,000 drinks and snacks during that time.
According to The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, Georgia has an estimate of 10,443 experiencing homelessness. Of that number, 815 families are homeless as well.
We will update this story as more information becomes available on how the homeless are impacted by the pandemic.

GEN F: Jhene Aiko
By Matthew Schnipper
Photographer BRANDON HERMAN
At a party recently, some guy confused Black Street and Boyz II Men. I corrected him. Though 15 years later, who sang "No Diggity" is not too much more than a minute piece of trivia for most people, his close-enough guess is telling about the public's perception of popular R&B: it's all the same. Fair enough. Most of the mush sent into the world is Nth-rate Beyonce and Rihanna imitation, drive time radio fillers with little uniqueness. On one end of the dial you get earthy Sade, and on the other boisterous R. Kelly. There's scarce space for anyone in between unless he or she's got a particularly spectacular six-pack.
It's no offense to Jhene Aiko's stomach that she's not been making heavy radio rounds. Though she is now independent, she was once signed to a major label and in 2003, as a teenager, released the generic single "No Love," which garnered the medium acclaim expected of a factory-produced song. After her label failed to put out her album, Aiko asked to be released from her contract. She received it, and after settling into motherhood, Aiko began writing on her own. Earlier this year, she released Sailing Soul(s), a step forward sonically made by scaling back gaudy production and unnecessary vocal fireworks. Sailing Soul(s) starts with the stark "Stranger," where she sings, You said you were different but you're the same stranger. The beat, by her frequent production partners Fisticuffs, has a crisp snare ping and a druggy organ, over which Aiko sounds somehow breathy while still sweet and light. She's powerful because her delivery is effortless. "I think if you sing too much or if there are too many instruments, that takes away from what you're saying," Aiko says. "'Stranger' is about meeting the same type of people every day, particularly guys. They're all different, they all have their own approach, but the underlying thing that they want, which is usually sex, is the same." This theme isn't all that unique in the world of R&B—sexual advances, unwanted or otherwise, are the makeup of most songs—but with Aiko's pale languor, the early stages of romance are authentically, if semi-miserably, illuminated.
"I'm not a loud person," she says, explaining the retreat from the bubblegum of her youth. But despite a concerted effort to mellow out, much of Sailing Soul(s) is playful and attention grabbing: jazzy songs, riffs on weed and told-you-so chants, all of which seem to be part of Aiko's day-to-day MO. She's just happy to put it to song, no matter where it ends up. "When I was younger and doing those songs, I wasn't unhappy because I would just listen to the demo, and it would be like, 'Sing it like this,' and I'd be like, Oh, okay. It was fun, like karaoke," she says. "But as I got older I was like, No, I have my own stuff to say, and I don't wanna sing it like that. I've got my own voice."

But then every battery looses charge over time, and Li-batteries - propably other types as well - have a point of no return in that direction.
Lithium batteries have one of the lowest self-discharge rates, and self-discharging does not mean that they ever reach the level of deep discharge that turns them into short-circuited battery bombs (or actively-damaging levels of discharge in general). The voltage is important, and if you've got nothing that can actively lower it by drawing power from them it will simply stabilize at a certain safe level.
They are being stored at a certain charge level because it puts them into the chemically most stable state - but other charge levels only accelerate the natural degeneration, it does not actively damage them (in contrast to actively charging or discharging them). I've once got a few unused Thinkpad batteries that were stored without special care as replacement parts, they were being discarded due to switching to a newer series with different batteries. They were still in prime condition after over 5 years, with up to 98% of their original capacity.
I wonder if you're mixing up lithium primary batteries (CR2032s and things like that) and lithium ion batteries. I have a bunch of old gadgets with lithium ion batteries that I have to periodically recharge because they're discharged more than I'm comfortable with, and most of those are stored outside the device they're designed to power. But even lithium primaries have best before dates.
The voltage is important, and if you've got nothing that can actively lower it by drawing power from them it will simply stabilize at a certain safe level.
For that you'd need no internal Voltage/differing potentials or an ideal battery.
I wonder if you're mixing up lithium primary batteries (CR2032s and things like that) and lithium ion batteries.
I'm explicitly talking about accumulators. I curse the English language for never having gained a widely spread term for rechargeable batteries, for we Germans have one and don't mix them up that easily.
Modern lithium ion cells are considered to have a self-discharge rate of less than 2% per month at room temperature, which means it takes at least about 4 years for a fully charged battery to drain itself - and a lot more when stored in a cool environment. An increased self-discharge rate is an indicator for a damaged cell.
That makes sense. I have some rather old gadgets that use lithium ion batteries, and I recharge them at most once every 2 years or so. If it could have dropped from 60% to 36% in that time, I personally consider that close enough to the bone to give it a go in the charger. Most of those old devices don't report an accurate percentage though, so that 60% figure is very variable to begin with.
They were still in prime condition after over 5 years, with up to 98% of their original capacity.
I wonder if that's "average" batteries and there was something special about Thinkpad, or maybe there's a difference between cells and polymer? Or it could've been old data, I did do all that research 4 or 5 years ago now.
Also, Letalis Sonus is talking about original capacities only. Even if your battery is discharging, it hasn't necessarily lost any of its capacity to store charge if you did recharge it.
Also, Letalis Sonus is talking about original capacities only.
Indeed, they completely discharged themselves during their storage time. The point was that it caused not nearly as much damage as feared - and these are batteries with multiple cells, unlike the single-cell batteries of the Pandora that do not have to suffer from additional stress caused by differences between cells.
Yet Letalis Sonus tells of laptop batteries which only lost 2% after 5 years, so now I'm not sure what to believe.
so now I'm not sure what to believe.
Maybe their data is simply out of date (or even not old enough), the comments go back the first commercially used lithium cobalt dioxide battery already appeared in '91. Even if these are still the most popular for mobile devices, a lot about them has changed in all these years, such as the structure of the electrodes - that has to have a significant influence on the storage capacity degeneration. Maybe it even makes a difference if these cells are cylindrical or flat pouch ones.
These advancement at least had a significant influence on the self-discharge rate: In '99 it was still as high as 8% per month, a more recent source I found even claimed that nowadays 0.5-1% would be typical.
What they tend to do is a bit sneaky: they give the total mAh capacity from maximum charge to maximum discharge.
But give the capacity degradation numbers over the years according to a partial charge/discharge cycle. Say: only charge to 80% only discharge to 60% "2% loss after 5 year."
Both are true statements (not false advertising), just not at the same time.
Some tablets have a battery preservation mode where they'll only do 80%-60% charge cycles so you can minimise the battery wear when you're at home then turn this off before a long trip and get the full 100%-0% range.
Who is "they"? There's no marketing here, this is a pretty legitimate knowledge site, and it's not the only one; I don't think they're trying to sell anything except their book.
We're talking about storage degradation, not usage degradation. There is no charge/discharge level trickery involved, it is all about not touching them at all.
Yes, once it's done. And not before.

I wonder if the evildragon has seen some nice materials, at the material convention thingy.
1. Is a temporal thing ... the longer you store your battery, the higher the voltage and the higher the storage temperature, the bigger the degradation ... basic laws of chemical reactions.
2. Is a DOD (depth of discharge) thing. The electrodes expand and shrink when they accumulate/release the lithium ions from the carbon matrix of a electrode. Therefore it is a purely physical effect. This mechanical stress breaks the structure of the electrodes on microscopic level. The surface area is shrinking and blockages for ion travel build up as fragments block the otherwise very rough structure of the electrode. Less surface area means higher current density and therefore higher resistance of the cell and higher overpotential at the electrodes. This very important during charging and leads to 3.
So ... the lower the cycle depth, the lesser the wear of the battery. If one charges his phone rather often (NOT FASTCHARGE ...) and uses only lets say 20% of the capacity, the battery will last a lot longer. If those 20% are between 40 and 60 and not 80 and 100 it will last even longer (see 1.). Thats also why TLP for lenovo laptops has an adjustable charge value in % (I set mine to 80%).
3. If the charging current is to high for the current impedance of the cell, you have a lot of voltage drop at the electrodes. The voltage is therefore a lot higher as the current equilibrium of the cell and the energy is high enough to start secondary reactions. Namely this is lithium plating of the electrode. If this occurs, the cell will be dead after several cycles as elementary lithium is very reactive and must never exist in the cell.
Therefore it is important to charge a lithium battery at moderate rates and elevated temperatures (35°C to increase ion mobility and decrease overpotential), especially if they get old and have lots of cycles.
I hope this brings some light in the understanding of the voodoo lithium battery thingy and battery management .
If anybody wants to know more I'll have to look it up in my university books.

Chapecoense crash survivor returns to pitch at Barcelona
Agencies8 Aug 2017 5:02 PM GMT
Eight months after surviving the plane crash that killed most of his Chapecoense teammates, Alan Ruschel played his first minutes of football when his Brazilian club met Barcelona in a friendly.
Ruschel and two teammates were the only Chapecoense players to not perish when the team's flight went down in Colombia last year, killing all but six of the 77 players, officials and journalists on board.
All three were on the pitch on Monday in an emotional night at Camp Nou that was more about overcoming the tragedy that had decimated their club than about facing Lionel Messi's Barcelona.
Barcelona eased to a 5-0 win, but the result mattered little to the players, coaches, or fans.
Ruschel wore the captain's armband for Chapecoense during the 36 minutes he played before being substituted. He received a standing ovation from the crowd, which he returned by applauding with his hands held high as he slowly walked to the dugout.
Before the match Ruschel wrote on Instagram: "Today is the new beginning of my professional career."
He said he would play the match "for all those who supported me, for those who I lost, for my friends, my family."
The crowd had already saluted the Chapecoense players as their names were called before the match. Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta welcomed the visitors, telling the stadium that "today is a very special night."
Jackson Follmann and Helio Zampier Neto, the only other Chapecoense players to survive the crash, shared in a moving honorary kickoff.
Follmann, who had part of his right leg amputated from injuries in the crash, was wearing a prosthetic leg when he took the kickoff along with Neto. Neto, who played in the friendly, accompanied Follmann to the bench as they both received another wave of applause.

France Announces Men's Fastpitch National Team Program!
The French Baseball & Softball Federation announced today that Anthony Cros will manage the French Men's National Softball Team, a national team program that is being relaunched in order to boost the development of Men's Softball in France.
Anthony will oversee the tryouts to build and field the team at this year's European Championships in Ledenice, Czech Republic, where France will only make its second apparition after 1995.
A former professional baseball player in Northern America (Quebec Capitales, CanAm), Anthony Cros was instrumental in the development of Men's Softball in France by kickstarting Montpellier's softball team that won three consecutive French Men's Softball Series in 2016, 2017 and 2018 as well as the first edition of the Challenge de France in 2018.
He was the only French player to participate in the Team Europe vs New Zealand exhibition game in 2018 where he hit a home-run as a pinch-hitter.

Something For The Kids (Featured Authors)
By Lali@Lulu / July 26, 2019 August 19, 2019
What could be more inspiring than to see a child reading a book during their summer vacation? We think it's just the best. So for July's Featured Authors, we have something for the kids!
Two authors who write children's books that are sure to make you smile, think, and most of all, want to keep reading!
Jacqueline Sanders-Blackman
Jacqueline is one of those incredibly unique writers who capture engaging artwork, inspiring storytelling, and can still teach something with her books. Her series follows a family called The Makers. Today, we're featuring her second book, but you can find the first one, Smart Sarah and the Magic of Science, on the Lulu Bookstore.
The books focus on PJ and Sarah, Jacqueline reaches into her own family history and education to create stories of kids learning the value of STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math) based education. As a computer scientist and writer, Jacqueline knows how valuable project-based learning can be.

Smith & Wesson Model Model 500
The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) wields two monster revolvers (each with a customized barrel shroud). These started out as 4" Smith & Wesson Model 500s. According to a source close to the armorer who built the guns for the film, the barrel shrouds were made from matching brushed satin stainless steel and the cylinders were re-machined.

Unknown Assault Rifles
This belongs in the category of "maybe" but some members of the SWAT team appear to be carrying Steyr AUG assault rifles, as well as other small/compact and as of yet unidentified weapons.
SWAT team members charge, holding what seems to be Steyr AUGs.
Combo Assault Rifles a.k.a. "The Darrow"
The Octopus also dual-wields two giant assault rifles which are in reality a pair of a cluster of weapons 'glued' to each other. The weapons are a bunch of obviously plastic Airsoft guns attached together (obvious for several reasons, sharped eyed viewers can tell the difference between Spring Airsoft guns and the real deal, and it would be impossible for the actor to wield eight live weapons due the weight). A single cluster of weapons appears (for now) to be two M4 style carbines attached to each other as well as a Spring model M11 with fake suppressor and an Airsoft H&K UMP (with a fake suppressor standing in for a shotgun barrel) (along with a plethora of Aimpoint sights, rails, foregrips, flashlights as well as some obvious 12 gauge shell holders on the sides). There is also a SPAS 12 on each of them, the correct name for the combi gun is the Darrow named after comic artist Geoff Darrow who always used to draw hyper detailed multi barrelled combi guns on his characters. He wields a cluster as mentioned above ... in each hand!
The Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) wields the cluster guns.

Four barreled 12 gauge handguns
A rather unconventional pair of "quad guns" comprising two sets of short barreled shotguns per weapon, are used by the Octopus in the trailer. The Octopus mentions when wielding these weapons that he likes to use "eight of everything". A source close to the armorer who worked on the movie has informed IMFDB that the weapons were built from scratch as non-functional props and that the muzzle flash was added in post-production.

Unknown Police Shotguns
Several Police officers wield unknown shotguns with Surefire Flashlight Fore ends. One Female officer wields a heavily customized shotgun with a ridiculous array of sights, flashlights and other gadgets attached.
Commissioner Dolan (Dan Lauria) watches the proceedings while several officers hold their shotguns.
Short barreled O/U shotguns
The Octopus also wields two short-barreled O/U shotguns, which were built from the CZ Redhead 12-gauge, according to a source close to the movie's armorer.

Fake five barreled auto cannons
Strictly fictional five barreled Nordenfelt-type autocannons for the Apache helicopters. The middle gun appears to represent the 'real world' 30mm M230 Chain Gun, whereas the smaller surrounding guns are for a smaller caliber. Since the main gun is supposed to be the 30mm M230 Chain Gun (as seen on the real world AH-64 helicopters), and this may be a fantasy upgrade for that weapons system.

Outcome in one-vessel coronary artery disease.
We analyzed the clinical outcomes in 688 patients with isolated stenosis of one major coronary artery. The survival rate among patients with disease of the right coronary artery (RCA) was higher than that among patients with left anterior descending (LAD) or left circumflex coronary artery (LCA) disease. The survival rate among patients in all three anatomic subgroups exceeded 90% at 5 years. The presence of a lesion proximal to the first septal perforator of the LAD was associated with decreased survival compared with the presence of a more distal lesion. For the entire group of one-vessel disease patients, total ischemic events (death and nonfatal infarction) occurred at similar rates regardless of the anatomic location of the lesion. Left ventricular ejection fraction was the baseline descriptor most strongly associated with survival, and the characteristics of the angina had the strongest relationship with nonfatal myocardial infarction. No differences in survival or total cardiac event rates were found with surgical or nonsurgical therapy. The relief of angina was superior with surgical therapy, although the majority of nonsurgically treated patients had significant relief of angina. The survival rate of patients with one-vessel coronary disease is excellent, and the risk of nonfatal infarction is low. Clinical strategies for the care of these patients must consider the long-term clinical course of one-vessel coronary disease.

Home David Gilmour 2016 September 28th - ROYAL ALBERT HALL, LONDON, ENGLAND
September 28th - ROYAL ALBERT HALL, LONDON, ENGLAND
Capacity: 5,272 (maximum; depends on configuration of seating)
Concert starts: 7:45pm
Address of venue: Kensington Gore, London SW7 2AP. MAP
Website: www.royalalberthall.com
David's 2016 tour concludes with a return to this historic venue, one year after his last visit, and this is the second of four shows. Could he be intending to film one or more of these new shows for future release? We certainly hope so!
Tickets go on sale on Friday, December 4th at 10am UK time, and the DavidGilmourblog.co.uk presale started Wednesday, December 2nd for those who are regular contributors there. For the main sale of tickets, you can use these links: Ticketmaster, Eventim, Seetickets, Stargreen and RoyalAlbertHall.com although please be aware that demand will be incredibly high so you might need to be patient and keep retrying. Tickets are subject to fees and conditions, and are limited to four per person, across all the nights (so, you can buy one for each show, or two pairs of tickets for different shows, and so on).
The organisers have pointed out that "for the London concerts, as with the 2015 shows, the name of the lead booker will be printed on each ticket. The lead booker must attend the concert and photo ID will be required to gain entry to the venue. There will be no exceptions to this rule. This is to try and stop secondary selling by ticket touts at high prices." This is exactly what happened with the Kate Bush concerts in London in 2014, and it seemed to work really well. It ensured that fans were there, and ticket touts/scalpers didn't get much of an opportunity to make a killing buying tickets for a show they would have no intention of seeing!
We also understand that there will be a limited number of VIP packages available for this venue. Again, this is subject to fees and conditions.
Our thanks to Gary Ashton for the ticket scan to the right.
FIRST HALF: 5am, Rattle That Lock, Faces Of Stone, What Do You Want From Me, The Blue, The Great Gig In The Sky, A Boat Lies Waiting, Wish You Were Here, Money, In Any Tongue, High Hopes.
SECOND HALF: One Of These Days, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Fat Old Sun, Coming Back To Life, On An Island, Us And Them, Today, Sorrow, Run Like Hell ENCORE: Time / Breathe (reprise), Comfortably Numb.
Night three at the Royal Albert Hall - the middle show of five taking place this month to close the Rattle That Lock Euro tour, and another packed hall. Tonight was to offer its own little surprise to those attending, over and above the normal set list and staging, but more about that shortly.
Performance wise, the show offered even more than the preceding two shows (held last Friday, and Sunday) and the band seem to be playing better in each show. Hard to believe, as the performances are exemplary, but those of us fortunate enough to have been to one or both of the previous shows have been buzzing about the musicianship on display. The set list was unchanged from Sunday, so again, The Girl With The Yellow Dress had moved aside for Us And Them.
Curiously, the audience seemed pretty subdued for the first half of the show, although the wind machine and thunk of Guy's opening bass note to start the second half with One Of These Days, seemed to be the jolt that many of the audience needed to get them energised for the show. From that point on, the reactions were extremely enthusiastic - not that they weren't in places during the first half, to be fair. Faces of Stone, The Blue, Money and In Any Tongue all seemed to be particularly well received.
The second set's focus on older tracks is a real crowd pleaser, although the current performances of the title track of On An Island has been thrilling audiences with the incredible guitar work and interplay between Chester Kamen (superb throughout) and David. Today, from Rattle That Lock, has also grown into a concert favourite.
Those in the right position, and quite eagle-eyed, might have spotted a familiar face lurking in the wings stage right as Time/Breathe (reprise) began. Thespian Benedict Cumberbatch is not so well known for his singing (although he did sing in a 2013 production) but he very ably took on the role of the Doctor in the finale, Comfortably Numb. There was a healthy degree of shock and surprise to see the star of Sherlock, and one of the Star Trek films (amongst many other things) on stage for this song, and he seemed to have a whale of a time performing it. Pictures of his appearance will be on here shortly!
Another wonderful night, and just two shows to go before the tour concludes. Will there be any more surprises to come? The shows are so good, I don't think there will be many disappointed people if there aren't!
As ever, we'd love to know in more detail how the concert went from other people's perspectives. So, did you go? Let us know what YOU thought!
CONCERT REVIEW by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Kevan Porter
For David's third show in this final run of five, I was fortunate enough to be offered a front row seat (thanks Nick) just two days before the show which I grasped with both hands. I already had a ticket in the sixth row but I thought front row would provide a whole new perspective and it truly did. From my seat I could really appreciate the concentration, the happiness and the shear joy expressed by the musicians on stage, particularly David as he pulled distorted faces during his solos or smiled and nodded approvingly at his band members as they received a round of applause following a tricky solo. The camaraderie on stage is palpable.
I was sat between David and Chester and, being so close, I was able to hear far more clearly the sound of their individual guitars directly from their stage amps which was simply a superb experience, almost as though I was in a private studio with them. It also reinforced my belief that Chester is by far the best guitarist I've heard David play with, his accompanying rhythm, finger picking and soloing is more than just complimentary it is almost like having another David on stage, such is the quality of his playing. Again, Money and OAI were fantastic examples of this playing partnership which I cannot get enough of. Chester is also very clearly having the time of his life up there on stage with one of the best bands currently on tour, the smiles beaming from his face, the unabashedly joyful 'dancing' around is a joy to watch.
David is on fire at the moment, the best playing I've ever seen or heard from him, making every note sound like it was his first ever, every solo so full of passion and invention. So many songs now are getting longer and longer as inspiration takes hold and he takes the music down fresh new avenues. Wonderful.
Of course, everyone knows by now that we had a special guest vocalist during Comfy tonight in the shape of none other than Benedict Cumberbatch, playing the part of the Doctor which is quite apt as his new upcoming film role is that of Dr Strange, ironically, an old Floyd fascination from many, many years ago. You could see he was slightly nervous, who wouldn't be?, and he did fluff his lines a bit but nobody cared, it was great fun to see him up on stage and so amusing to see David's face beaming when the audience suddenly realised who'd joined the band on stage.
So another fantastic show that really does get better and better with each passing performance. Next up, night four!
CONCERT REVIEW and PICTURES by BD CONTRIBUTOR, Gary Ashton
David's 3rd show in this run and my first since the RAH shows in 2015. The show has been enhanced by a few things, firstly the use of band images on the screen, it makes a massive difference to the total viewing experience, secondly the sound, it is so crystal clear and last but by no means least, the changes in the band, both Chester Kamen and Greg Phillinganes are top quality ' no frills' musicians but they have helped added a more 'rawer' edge to the overall band performance for the better.
Dare I say that the extra gigging this summer has even made a huge difference to David's overall performance, he was simply astounding.
Set highlights tonight were Money, In Any Tongue, The Great Gig In The Sky, sung amazingly well by the backing vocalist's and One Of These Days...., just fantastic. Benedict Cumberbatch as the Doctor ? , well he left me a bit numb (!) but he clearly enjoyed it despite fluffing his lines and his appearance was big news.
Another fantastic show at what has become my favourite venue.

Always make sure to have .050" clearance around the rotor to the sensor pick ups. Always degree in your second pick up on the plate for precision timing.
The best Ignition coil on the planet ! This coil is .5 OHM primary resistance !!! Dual out put 45,000v out put,"Spark plug style out put terminal , polarity sensitive, uses rare earth magnet technology for quicker energy rise time. ( The coil nearly makes energy just sitting there with the big magnet inside) I personally have tested/ used these coils without failure. We use them on the Nitro Bike ! These coils can be used with the Dyna 4000 Super Pro to enhance the system and have less resistance than the standard D4k coils (which are .7OHM).
HD Dual Plug/ Dual-Single Fire , Quad Out Put Inductive Ignition Module for Drag Racing. 45,000 Volts, 6-7 AMP current , 240v Primary Voltage to the Coil. 62 Degree Spark Discharge Duration. "Soft ON" Feature requires 400RPM for spark enable, "Soft OFF" feature requires consecutive .3 sec interruption for disable (great if you have a bad toggle switch). No RPM Limiter. This ignition can still be used on a gas engine with modular Rev Limiters and Retard Modules. This ignition can also be used for single plug application.
Many National Records have been set in many categories of racing with the Dyna 4000 !!
The most Powerful Reliable digital CDI on the Planet !! So many capabilities. The Shaker TF ARC is the only "UNIVERSAL" , 2 channel, Monster CDI on the Market. Designed originally to be used with the DYNA S and the Dyna4000--- can now be used with nearly any ignition input !! 580v Primary volts to the coil !!!, 9 AMP Current !! Monster Energy up to 20,000 RPM. Operate on a universal 8-20 volt battery! Light up more fuel molecules than any other RELIABLE ignition available. Go lean when you bolt it on -- add more fuel make more power !! Burn more fuel !! The system can now be wired in a hybrid fashion to take advantage of CDI technology side by side with Inductive technology. Inductive makes for a long discharge. CDI makes for a Monstrous Burst of 189mj per discharge. Enjoy 5 discharges up to 3000 rpm.

Time sure flies when you're busy! I'm looking forward to some R&R this weekend at home with my husband and babies. It feels so good to have no plans on my agenda.
If you missed this weeks blog posts, you can find them here, here, and here!
We've been swimming at our neighborhood pool a lot recently, especially in the past week due to the hot Midwest temperatures. My daughter gets more and more daring with every visit. Yesterday, she did a cartwheel into the water. Yes. A cartwheel. The same goes for my son. He was very reserved at the beginning of the Summer, but is now swimming all by himself own with his floaties.
I picked up a bottle of Barefoot Pink Moscato Wine at Target the other day and I do believe it is my new favorite, not to mention it was on sale AND it has a screw cap top rather than a cork so it's quicker and easier to get to!
Have I ever told you how much I love this coffee ice cream? Take my word for it and go buy some now!
My husband got an echo dot for his Birthday last weekend and we love asking it all kinds of questions. It's mostly used for playing music at this point, but I'm researching other ways to incorporate it into everyday life. Oh, which reminds me- check out this SNL skit!
Last night, Addie saved a baby bird that had fallen out of it's nest on the porch. She was so proud of herself and extremely excited to hold a bird!
Last Saturday, my dad planned a small get together for my Grandpa's 92nd Birthday! We got to visit and eat homemade ice cream and cake. It was great to see him and my Grandma both and I loved watching them interact with the kids. We are so blessed!
Hope you have a safe, happy, and relaxing weekend!


This three bedroom duplex apartment is uniquely located at the corner of Gramercy Park.
The project involved the renovation of one apartment and expansion into the unit above. The one bedroom apartment upstairs was converted into a Master Suite, while the original Master Bedroom was absorbed into the living room, creating a larger entertainment space to accommodate a piano and a custom bar with a cantilevered counter.
A new staircase connecting the existing apartment with the Master Suite is tucked away to maximize open social area. The dark wood floors were continued through the stair to suggest that this had always been part of the original design.
Upstairs, the new Master Bedroom faces south overlooking the park with integrated millwork on either side of the fireplace. A built-in bed floats off the floor and adjacent wall. Her closet used space flanking the fireplace for built-in shoe storage, providing a functional yet colorful display when lit. Cove lighting, stretched fabric and frosted glass were employed to provide a warm glow for the spaces when not illuminated by the abundant daylight on both levels.

The Tzu Chi chapter in Kuala Lumpur signed an agreement with the Czech embassy in the Malaysian capital to co-operate in improving six schools for refugee children from Myanmar.
Since 2004, the chapter has formed a partnership with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to co-operate in providing health care and education to some of the thousands of Myanmar refugees in Malaysia. As of January, there were 79,300 refugees and asylum seekers registered with the UNHCR in Malaysia, some 90 percent of whom were Burmese––mostly Chin and Rohingya ethnic minorities. In addition, up to 30,000 Burmese migrants are unregistered, according to the UNHCR.
Over the past six years, the U.N. agency became aware of the spirit and culture of Tzu Chi and introduced its volunteers to the Czech embassy in Kuala Lumpur. This led the two sides to sign a 'memorandum of understanding' at the UNHCR office to improve educational facilities at six refugee schools. Alan Vernon, the agency's representative in Malaysia, said that they had been working with the Czech government to help them identify a partner that could implement humanitarian projects. "We are very happy that the Tzu Chi Foundation can step in and do this work," he said.
Embassy official Jan Fury said that he had been impressed by all of Tzu Chi's programs and delighted that it was the NGO selected for this project. "There are countries and people around the world who need our help and we need to support them as much as we can," he said. In addition, his embassy made a donation toward the cost of medical expenses as free clinics for refugees.
With this new support and joint concern, the refugees in Malaysia can look forward to a better future.


Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, both of which have an elevation of more than 7000 ft, provide some of the best skiing and riding in North America. There is an average snowfall of 10 metres per year. The two mountains have more than 200 trails, 3 glaciers, 38 lifts and 12 alpine bowls.
The resort provides 8,171 acres of skiable terrain and has been rated as the number one ski resort in North America by several surveys. Every skier and snowboarder can find terrain suited to his or her skill. All in all, Whistler Blackcomb is a haven for skiers and snowboarders.
Ski & Snowboard School for all age groups.
Whistler Heli-Skiing & Boarding. For those who want to experience no lift lines and endless untracked powder.
Whistler Blackcomb Terrain Parks. The extensive parks on both mountains offer two half pipes, snowcross, 200+ features with 100+ jumps.
Snowtubing in the Coca-Cola Tube Park. A very popular family activity.
The Peak 2 Peak Gondola spans the distance between Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains.
The record-breaking Peak 2 Peak Gondola has the longest unsupported span in the world of 3.024 kilometres, it is the highest lift of its kind at 436 metres above the valley floor and it completes the longest continuous lift system on the globe.
The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is a great sightseeing experience for any non-skiers and snowboarders in your group. Everyone can access the gondola and it is a great way to access the mountain restaurants so you can meet friends and family for lunch!
Whistler ski lessons are a great way to have fun and learn something new at the same time. You can learn to ski or snowboard at Whistler Blackcomb Mountains in private or group lessons, or at one of the ski camps. Qualified ski instructors ensure that you have an enjoyable experience learning how to ski, no matter your age.
There are full and half-day lessons available, with half-day lessons available in both morning and afternoon. More advanced skiers might want to consider enrolling in a special camp such as the Extremely Canadian program or one of the race clinics. Multilingual instructors are available for those whose primary language is other than English.
The Whistler Blackcomb Kids ski and snowboard programs are divided according to age; 3 to 6 years old, 7 to 12 years old and teenagers. Younger children have lunch and story time where they spend time with the instructor learning and playing, and taking some time to rest. Skiers in older groups will spend more time on the snow, depending on the weather and the group's stamina.
Ski and snowboard lessons are a great idea if you are a beginner or just wanting to fine tune your skills. If you're on a budget, you will be happy to know that there are special discount periods (Whistler Discover Days) during the season where you can get up to 30% off the regularly priced programs.

Dave has 2 Rochester carbs from his 1941 Chevrolet with a 216 engine.
When he bought the car, it had a 3-carb manifold, which he converted to a 1-carb manifold.
One seems to be original, the other has two bolts that are replacements. The one with the original bolts is priced at $125, the one with two non-standard bolts is $115.
The Rochester was a replacement carb for the 1941 models, so these carbs would not be for someone who plans to have their car judged at a show.
The Rochester carb became the factory installed unit for 216 ci Chevrolets from 1949 to 1952.

An organized dissident revolutionary group calling itself Cheollima Civil Defense is actively working to overthrow Kim Jong-un and the government of North Korea. The group has announced that they will be selling visas to the new country beginning Sunday, and supporters can pay with the Ethereum cryptocurrency.
The price is one ether for the first 1,000 visas, which will be issued via the blockchain. Two hundred thousand passes will be granted using the blockchain. The official site doesn't say what the per-visa cost will be once 1,000 have been issued. The South China Morning Post, which first reported on the venture, incorrectly stated that 1 ETH would buy 1,000 Visas.
Cheollima also calls itself "Jayu Joseon," which means Free Joseon.
North Korean Dissidents to Sell 200,000 Visas for $27 Million in Ethereum
If the price remains constant, the group is trying to raise around $27 million. The group's website says that the visas may be traded and sold. You are allowed to purchase as many as you like. They say that if you want to build a business or some other commercial activity in the future free country, you'll have to contact them for a more advanced visa.
What the Visas will look like, according to Cheollima's official website.
The visa will give you access to "Free Joseon," the state Cheollima will found in place of North Korea, for 45 days at a time. It is issued using ERC-721, a variant of the widely-used ERC-20 standard. ERC-721 significantly improves the usefulness of Ethereum for non-fungible (unique) tokens, although entry documents to a prospective nation-state are perhaps their first "real-world" use case to date.
The visas are called "G-Visas." The "G" stands for "Genesis." The contract address is 0x9044c1f34f29d19558c11662cb2de79f858347d9. Seven visas have already been issued, but you cannot officially buy them until Sunday.
The group is responsible for multiple actions against the North Korean state so far. In one case, they took credit for defacing the North Korean embassy in Malaysia.
Recently, they are believed to have stormed the hermit kingdom's Spanish embassy – using fake weapons – and extracted computers and cell phones. Experts believe these items contain important intel.
Support the Liberation of North Korea with Ethereum
They are also responsible for rescuing the son of Kim Jong-nam. Half-brother to Kim Jong-un, Jong-nam was famously assassinated by North Korean agents in Kuala Lumpur. The group worried that Jong-nam's son, Kim Han-sol, would be next. They spirited him away from Macau, and he appeared in a video disseminated to the media, expressing gratitude to Cheollima Civil Defense.
Freedom-loving Etherians and Bitcoiners are welcome to contribute over the minimum of one Ethereum token per visa. The Bitcoin address associated with the group is 134ytYQnZVAEVV6YZVfx1NBUGc9GY45FBm. It has received over 14 BTC to date. The Ethereum address for donations is 0xe60e1888a6c1b6350ff44c0c388781bf169c2979. It hasn't received anything.
The extremely unusual nature of the visas will make them highly valuable if the overthrow of the Kim regime is successful. You do not have to provide any proof of ownership beyond holding the token.
Free Joseon — The Next Asian Crypto Hub?
The politics of the group are unclear. Clearly, they favor libertarian ideals, willing to risk their lives in pursuit of a free North Korea. They haven't commented on subjects such as reunification with the South.
To date, Cheollima has only spoken of knocking over Kim Jong-un and establishing a free country in place of the prison state. If they create a liberal democracy in place of the existing communist regime, their proximity to China, ample natural resources, and relatively undeveloped countryside could make Free Joseon a global hub of commerce.
One thing is for certain: they like Ethereum and Bitcoin.
The group is greatly concerned about having their identity revealed. They posted a note to their website recently which reads, in part:
"The identification of even a single member could lead to the identities of others. Several of us have already escaped their attempts on our lives and that of our families. Many of our compatriots and their relatives have not been as fortunate. And any left surviving in concentration camps would surely face execution if the identities of their family members were dissidents were made known."
A free North Korea would change the global political landscape. Will the Ethereum blockchain help make it happen? Time will tell. Buying the G-Visa is placing a bet, at this point. It will have indeterminate value if the group is successful. It will have no value if they fail.
