Intel announced its Q1 2016 results today, and at first glance you wouldn't think they were anything to write home about. The company missed street estimates by $30 million on sales of $13.7 billion (a rounding error, basically). While its gross margin dipped somewhat and sales were down compared with Q4 2015, the PC market always turns in a weak first quarter. The company's operating income and net profit were both basically flat — and given the shape of the PC market as a whole, you might think that turning in modest revenue growth compared to Q1 2015 would be welcome news.
Missing, you might note, are any mention of the PC market or the company's mobile efforts. ARM fans and general smartphone and tablet aficionados have snarked at Intel's general failure to win positive traction for itself in these markets (at least, not without relying on contra-revenue shipments to do it), but it's important to see the larger picture here. Intel began developing Atom all the way back in 2004, not long after it canceled Tejas, the ill-fated, Prescott successor that never saw the light of day. While it can be fairly criticized for some of its specific product decisions, clearly some of the executives at Intel saw how big mobile could be years before smartphones and tablets started eating the PC's lunch.
We agree. Intel isn't literally giving up on the PC space, but for decades the company has relied on the consumer CPU market to provide the bulk of its profits, even if other market segments were far more profitable on a per-unit basis. The company previously portrayed its client business as driven by a virtuous cycle of continuous investment that protected profits and drove engagement. Now, it's claiming that other market segments will provide this growth.
Intel will continue to introduce next-generation CPUs, and it'll clearly continue to market those devices as compelling upgrades. But the company is pivoting, trying to find spaces where it can earn the kinds of returns investors want to see, while cutting headroom anywhere else to prop its figures up in the meantime.
Incidentally, anyone who thinks Intel is sitting on spare PC performance it hasn't released due to a lack of competition should take a hard look at this situation as proof for why it's not true. If Intel could release dramatically faster hardware that consumers wanted to buy for the same reasons they kept buying in for more than 30 years, it would do so. The fact that it's focusing on new business segments and firing thousands of people is proof that it doesn't know how to return to the good old days of semiconductor scaling.
AMD will announce its own Q1 2016 results in several days. Don't expect miracles or anything good.


The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales looking to go Palm Oil Free in its Visitor's Centre?
With the launch of Iceland's eye-opening advert which focuses on the use of palm oil in everyday products and the extremely severe and harmful impact that this is having on rainforests and the animals that live within them, particularly Orangutans, The Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales is taking a look at the products and ingredients that we use and making an effort to source alternatives.
Palm oil is a type of edible vegetable oil that can be found in around half of all packaged supermarket products. This includes bread, chocolate, shampoo, candles, lipstick and a lot more. Although it's not always listed as palm oil on the ingredients list, sometimes you may see 'vegetable oil' and 'vegetable fat' instead.
Palm oil is extracted from the fruit and seeds of the trees and although it's native to parts of West Africa, plantations have been set up in Indonesia and Malaysia. Around 66 million tons of palm oil is thought to be produced every year and this results in deforestation, habitat degradation, climate change, animal cruelty and indigenous right abuses in the countries where it's produced. It's affecting many different animals including some endangered species such as Orangutans, Rhino's and Tigers.

June 16th, 2016 Britain
The results of the UK elections of 5 May reveal the continued erosion of loyalties to the old established parties and increased support for anti-austerity struggles.
With a few exceptions the Labour Party under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn did not make much headway. They did not inspire workers, as there is no rousing call to fight and take to the streets.
The main reason Labour did not inspire a mass of workers is that when it comes to anti-austerity it is just talk. They support austerity and cuts continue. The failure to oppose austerity brings to mind Syriza's capitulations in Greece because Tsipras, their Prime Minister, made many promises to oppose the EU's austerity plan, but in the end, he agreed to austerity.
The real opposition to Tory and Labour
A member of the International Socialist League, Martin Ralph, was the local election candidate for End Austerity Old Swan Against Cuts, (OSAC) in Liverpool. Six candidates stood, including the Greens. OSAC came second, with 395 votes, doubling to 12 percent previous results. The Labour councillor was re-elected with 2,260 votes, 69 percent. The Liberal Democrats, who have the second number of seats in the city, came third, with 278 votes.
OSAC was delighted that all the hard work paid off, delivering over 8000 leaflets, on the streets every day talking to and listening to the people on the streets. There were many emails and Facebook messages from new people promising to vote for OSAC, many messages critical of Labour such as "Labour are Tories in red ties," to "you're against Tory and Labour? You mean against capitalism?"
OSAC's message was clear, "The Labour party under Corbyn's leadership claims to be anti-austerity. But we need to fight austerity now, not wait for promises in the future."
The only way to achieve our demands was, "by mobilising on the streets with communities and unions to push Liverpool City Council to vote for a needs budget and by building a local and national campaign that links councils who set a needs budget with the trade unions who are willing to fight. Such a struggle will have to be done in close connection with communities in a common struggle against Tory austerity."
The demands we put forward in the election campaign included:
A socialist welfare state
Free, high-quality public services under public control.
All refugees welcome, full rights and access to work, services and benefits.
Support for all international struggles against austerity.
End the bombing of Syria and the Middle East.
It was important to talk about the "anti-austerity" positions of Corbyn by explaining that the Labour Party will never lead the working class against austerity or in the fight for socialism. The Labour Party is a capitalist party with one outlook — reformism.
Throughout the campaign the one name that cropped up time and again was Joe Anderson, Labour's right wing Liverpool Council Leader and Mayor. He received just over 50 percent in the Mayoral election but is very unpopular amongst workers and the poor.
Corbyn's leadership team fully endorsed Joe Anderson, showing that support for Corbyn ends up as support for Labour's right wing who control all Labour councils and Liverpool and London's Mayors.
Local supporter Gordon Waring summed up the OSAC result, "Let's get this straight Old Swan Against The Cuts is a small, community-based party in the Old Swan area of Liverpool. They have no financial backing whatsoever, and yet they have got more votes than the Tories, the Lib Dems, the Greens and UKIP. Let's just think about that for a moment. With the right backing just imagine how many more votes they would get if they stood in more areas."
The Old Swan result was one of the best of the left in the country. The other main group, the Trade Union and Socialist Coalition, stood 302 candidates; OSAC came within the top ten anti-austerity candidates in England.
OSAC's programme pushed for a workers' solution to find a way out of austerity, in a struggle for socialism based in action.
Workers beware watch the count
Three official vote counters were overheard joking about the OSAC name. Official complaints were made. And during the count an OSAC observer saw 50 OSAC votes being placed beneath 50 Liberal Democrat votes. Fortunately, she raised the issue and it was corrected.
After the national council of Left Unity had taken a majority decision not to stand against the Labour Party, OSAC offered one name End Austerity to those local groups which were considering standing as Left Unity, such as Stockport and Wigan.
John Pearson and Left Unity's Stockport group opened up another front against the government's austerity and its local implementation by the Labour Party and others.
John increased his vote of 0.7 percent last year to one percent, in a city that now has Labour in control. This year draconian cuts will now be made by the new Labour leadership.
The Trade Union and Socialist Coalition (TUSC, an electoral coalition of the Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, activists and the railway workers union RMT) had some good results. TUSC candidate Kevin Bennett standing in Fairfield & Howley ward Warrington polled 921 votes (76 votes less than the third-placed Labour). In Coventry, TUSC achieved 19.8% in one ward, five wards in various cities reached up to 10 – 11 percent.
In Liverpool TUSC stood 17 candidates, achieving up to 10 percent of the votes. And the TUSC candidate for mayor Roger Banister got 5.07%.
However, TUSC and the Socialist Party still have illusions that Labour will become an anti-austerity party. In Coventry, TUSC did not stand a candidate in a by-election, "…in an attempt to open up a dialogue with the Labour Party on fighting austerity." (TUSC website).
"…TUSC hasn't yet had the opportunity to sit down with Jeremy to discuss what he can do to encourage Labour councillors, in Coventry and elsewhere, to help lead a serious campaign against the Tories' massive funding cuts to local government."
Do they believe that the Labour Party will start fighting austerity and reverse their retreats? Do they believe that those having a reformist outlook and unable to break with the right-wing can represent the interests of the working class? It seems they do!
Building a socialist and workers alternative to austerity
It is very important to raise the flag of working class independent candidates who are fighting against austerity and for socialism.
During the election campaign, Martin Ralph was invited to speak on behalf of the UCU (University and College Union) to students at a meeting organising to fight tuition fees, cuts and the privatisation.
However, several members of the Labour Party, including the chairperson from Liverpool's Momentum (a Labour controlled organisation) argued that way forward was to join Labour and fight for socialism. Martin pointed out that Corbyn had abandoned his no fees election promise and that the leadership endorsed Joe Anderson. In Liverpool, protests against council cuts over the last six years have never been supported by Labour Party banners, or members speaking against the cuts.
Martin promised that all such future protests will continue to offer an open microphone for any Labour Party members who want to oppose the cuts. Those same Labour members remained quiet and gazed at the floor.
The Tory government austerity programme, unless stopped, within a few years will see the end of local public services, the National Health Service and public education. No one on the left disputes this.
However, differences are over what to do about it.
A problem is the vast majority of the left (including the SP and SWP) see the Labour Party with Corbyn leading as a solution and able to open the road to socialism.
However, many of the promises made by Corbyn have already been abandoned like the fight for nationalising energy companies and he endorses Tory austerity and cuts by supporting local implementation by Labour councils.
The recent suspensions of anti-Zionist and BDS activists illustrate the inability of his to stand up to the right-wing in the party, strengthening the right-wing.
Labour's programme does not fight against Tory Austerity.
Those who fight austerity in deeds, as well as words, are increasingly taking the struggle to the streets of Europe.
OSAC openly supports general strikes in Greece, Italy and France and is for a workers Europe, not the dictatorship of the EU and IMF. We need to link struggles nationally and internationally with a joint struggle of workers across the world.
OSAC has proven that workers will not only respond but will fight where there is trust and a call to action. We face a future of struggle, and our campaign was seeking to continue that struggle during the election.

Dr. Warren Zapol, HST faculty, dies at 79
Back to News List
Warren M. Zapol, MD Credit: Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)
Dr. Zapol is remembered by the HST community for his generosity in spending time with students, and for his enthusiasm in introducing MIT graduate students to clinical and translational research.
Warren M. Zapol, MD, 79, the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) emeritus Anesthetist-in-Chief (from 1994 to 2008), the Reginald Jenney Distinguished Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School (HMS), and an HST faculty member, passed away Thursday, December 14, 2021. Dr. Zapol is perhaps best known for demonstrating to the world that inhaled NO (nitric oxide) is a selective pulmonary vasodilator, a discovery that has positively shaped the course of modern medicine and helped save innumerable lives.
Dr. Zapol graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine in 1966, joining the MGH residency training program in 1970 after a surgical internship at Boston City Hospital and formative research training years at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). After his residency training, he joined the MGH Anesthesia, Critical Care & Pain Medicine department as faculty, where he spent the rest of his career, rising to the academic rank of Professor of Anaesthesia at HMS in 1985. According to a notice sent by MGH, "Dr. Zapol was a visionary, an explorer, and an inventor. During an extraordinary career, he led laboratory and clinical programs in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary physiology, and expeditions to Antarctica. He was generous and kind with his time, mentorship, and guidance. We, alongside a generation of clinicians and scientists worldwide, were influenced to reach for the stars by Dr. Zapol."
Emery N. Brown, MD, director of the HST program, MIT, Associate Director of the MIT Institute for Medical Engineering and Science (IMES), and the Edward Hood Taplin Professor of Medical Engineering and of Computational Science, MIT, said, "Warren's discovery and demonstration that nitric oxide is a highly effective therapy for pulmonary hypertension in newborns and in adults is one of the most significant achievements in recent intensive care medicine history." IMES is HST's home at MIT.
Dr. Zapol is remembered by the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology program (HST) community for his generosity in spending time with students—through his participation as an invited speaker in various settings and as a course director for different classes over the years. He was particularly noted for his enthusiasm in introducing MIT graduate students to clinical and translational research. Most recently, he taught a fully remote HST course in the spring of 2021, allowing Graduation Education in Medical Sciences (GEMS) certificate students to complete their course requirements despite pandemic-related restrictions on in-person clinical activities.
One student wrote in their spring 2021 course evaluation for the HST Clinical Experience and Selected Success Analysis virtual class: "Dr. Zapol did a great job finding interesting research for us to learn about. His passion for research and curiosity came through."
He leaves his wife, Nikki, his two children Liza and David, and a large network of extended family and friends. Memorial details will be shared as they are confirmed.

Microsoft Joins the Cloud
At its annual developers conference, the company unveiled its Windows Azure product intended to facilitate "cloud computing," while also providing a look at its next-generation Windows 7 platform.
At the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference 2008 (PDC2008) on Oct. 27, Ray Ozzie, Microsoft Corp.'s chief software architect, announced Windows Azure, the cloud-based service foundation underlying its Azure Services Platform, and highlighted this platform's role in delivering a software plus services approach to computing.
The Azure Services Platform is a move by Microsoft, Redmond, Wash., to help developers build the next generation of applications that will span from the "cloud"—a metaphor for the Internet and its underlying infrastructure—to the enterprise data center, and deliver new experiences across the personal computer (PC), Web and phone. Given the wide use of Microsoft products and platforms within modern manufacturing, these developments could well have long-term implications for automation professionals, and as such, bear watching.
"Today marks a turning point for Microsoft and the development community," Ozzie said. "We have introduced a game-changing set of technologies that will bring new opportunities to Web developers and business developers alike. The Azure Services Platform, built from the ground up to be consistent with Microsoft's commitment to openness and interoperability, promises to transform the way businesses operate and how consumers access their information and experience the Web. Most important, it gives our customers the power of choice to deploy applications in cloud-based Internet services or through on-premises servers, or to combine them in any way that makes the most sense for the needs of their business."
You pick 'em
The Azure Services Platform provides developers with the flexibility and ability to create applications while taking advantage of their existing skills, tools and technologies such as the Microsoft .Net Framework and Visual Studio. Developers also can choose from a broad range of commercial or open source development tools and technologies, and access the Azure Services Platform using a variety of common Internet standards, including hypertext transport protocol (HTTP), representational state transfer (REST), Web Services Interoperability standards (WS-*) and Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub).
Key components of the Azure Services Platform include the following:
• Windows Azure for service hosting and management, low-level scalable storage, computation and networking
• Microsoft SQL Services for a wide range of database services and reporting
• Microsoft .Net Services, which are service-based implementations of familiar .Net Framework concepts such as workflow and access control
• Live Services for a consistent way for users to store, share and synchronize documents, photos, files and information across their PCs, phones, PC applications and Web sites
• Microsoft SharePoint Services and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services for business content, collaboration and rapid solution development in the cloud.
Next Windows unveiled
On Oct. 28, Microsoft Corp. shared the first full public demonstration of Windows 7. Windows 7 extends developers' investments in Windows Vista and encourages the creation of new applications and services for the Windows platform. The company also delivered a pre-beta build of Windows 7 to PDC attendees and announced plans to release a full Windows 7 beta early next year.
Microsoft also demonstrated, for the first time, its new Web applications for Office, which are lightweight versions of Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote that are used from within standard Web browsers. The company showed how anyone can use all of the Web, phone, and PC versions of Office to edit the same rich document, switching among them seamlessly with lossless file compatibility.
"We are bringing the best of the Web to Windows, and the best of Windows to the Web," said Ozzie. "From PC to the Web to the phone, and from the server to cloud, we are focused on enabling the creation of the next generation of user experiences that change the way we live, work and play."
Office Web applications
Separately, Microsoft announced that the next version of Microsoft Office will include Office Web applications that will help improve productivity and enhance the desktop experience by enabling people to access, create, edit, share and collaborate on Office documents across multiple devices.
Office Web applications for Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote will be available to individuals through Office Live, and to businesses though a hosted subscription and existing volume licensing programs. This new offering will be compatible with familiar Web browsers from Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari. Microsoft will release a private Technical Preview of Office Web applications later this year. In the meantime, customers interested in learning more about the upcoming beta availability are encouraged to sign up for Microsoft Office Live Workspace at www.workspace.officelive.com.

How Cultured Are You, by 1950s Standards?
By Rebecca Onion
Oct 15, 20159:22 AM
The three questionnaires below come from Ashley Montagu's 1958 book, The Cultured Man. Montagu—a well-respected anthropologist and former student of Franz Boas, who was influential in his profession's midcentury rejection of the idea of innate racial hierarchy—wrote many popular books, of which The Cultured Man is one.
The book contains quizzes for 50 categories of knowledge in the arts and sciences, with 30 questions each; 25 of the questions test knowledge and five test what Montagu called "attitudes." The test-taker could refer to the answers at the back of the book and tap the list of references Montagu offered as correctives to those who found themselves deficient in a particular area.
Distinguishing his project from that of the quiz shows that were popular staples of radio and TV in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, Montagu wrote that a person considered "cultured" would not just be able to readily summon facts, but also to access humane feelings, which would necessarily come about after contact with culture. "The principal mark of the cultured man is not so much knowledge as his attitude of mind in relating his knowledge to the world of experience," Montagu wrote. A "cultured man" would be curious, unprejudiced, rational, and ethical.
"The function of these questions is not a static one," Montagu wrote, encouraging readers to see the experience of being tested as an educational opportunity. "Their function is both dynamic and constructive: to tell you more or less exactly where you stand as a cultured person, and precisely in which directions you need to move from that position. No one grows who stands still."

District 1 and 4 hold combined regional meeting in Kansas
There are thirteen legislative districts within the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. Five are divided up in Oklahoma while the other eight are dispersed throughout the United States. Legislative representatives from District 4, Jon Boursaw and District 1 legislator, Roy Slavin, held a regional meeting together for their districts in Overland Park, Kan. on June 7.
"We're here to inform our membership about the Nation and some of the new things that are happening within the Nation," said Slavin. "It's a way of involving people with the Tribe and that's our main goal."
"The attendance was a little disappointing today but I'm sure part of that was the result of the heavy rains we have had here recently, but it was a very interested and enthusiastic group so that was great," said Boursaw. "One lady told me this was her first meeting she ever went to and that it was very informative."
The district meetings are designed to assist, inform and serve as a means of networking for tribal members to ask questions and be informed on the latest news about CPN. Meetings are typically held quarterly and in different areas to accommodate to the vast distances that separate the Tribe's members.
The meeting in Overland Park consisted of updates on the Cultural Heritage Center that flooded in March, presentation of gifts to the wisest, youngest and furthest travelled, PowerPoint presentations on CPN history, a film about the Tribe's history produced by Tribal Heritage Productions entitled "Journey" and opportunities for Q&A.
"This meeting was great and it's always nice to hear the new things that the Tribe is doing," said Sandy Bentch of Lee's Summit, Mo.
For more information on districts, legislators and questions refer to the tribal website at www.potawatomi.org.

'Shameless': Jeremy Allen White Admitted the 'Really Lame' Reason That Lip Gallagher Has that Triangle Tattoo
Fans of Showtime's longest-running original series, Shameless, have always wondered what Lip Gallagher's (Jeremy Allen White) tattoo means. He's shirtless pretty often over the 11 seasons of the series, so the triangle on his bare chest must mean something. It turns out that fans came up with many more sophisticated reasons for Lip's tattoo than the actual meaning. In real life, the actor reluctantly admitted to fans the "really lame" reason Lip has that simple triangle tattoo on his chest. 'Shameless'

Q: My 'ASP.Net Dev Server' is having formatting issues Using Visual Studio 2008, running a project.. any project it seems. It appears as though any centering is ignored when run through my 'ASP.Net Dev Server' yet once published to any of our IIS servers the centering is fine. I say centering because that seems to be the only problem.
I've seen this question before but the reverse.
example:
I use this DIV tag to center contents:

Contents...

On the Dev server, no formatting takes placed. Once published it looks as it should.
We have the same problem using VS2010.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Once the page is rendered, this is what the source looks like:

...and so on..

Just as I expect. I don't know of any other way to test this stuff. It works the same in IE as it does in FF. As I said, the page renders fine when running from an IIS server but from this dev server.. no go.
I'm not new.. but this makes absolutely NO sense to me. AFAIK, it's the browser's job to render the html & css. Why it renders differently is beyond me. I am going to try a couple more tests.
This might be a case of PEBKAC.. it has something to do with my MASTER page because when I created a page not using it the formatting worked as expected. It doesn't make sens why it would render differently on the dev server tho.. in any case thanks for your help.

EastEnders BLASTED by bereavement charity over Jack Branning's handling of Ronnie and Roxy deaths
Experts slammed 'confusing way' Jack informed children the two sisters had died over the New Year
EastEnders have been slammed by bereavement experts over Jack Branning's 'confusing' way of informing the children Ronnie and Roxy were dead, Mirror Online reports.
Fans of the long-running BBC One soap have been devastated by not only the tragic deaths of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell, but by the heartbreaking scenes which have followed.
Now widowed, Tuesday saw Ronnie's husband Jack faced with the harrowing task of breaking the news to the children.
While this scene has deservedly attracted praise for Scott Maslen's acting, it has also sparked a lot of criticism for a different reason.
Visibly distraught at having to explain a topic of such magnitude to his young children, Jack told Matthew (Ronnie's son), Amy (Roxy's son) and Ricky (Sam Mitchell's son) how their mother and aunt had "gone away" - and they would never be coming back.
Heartbroken EastEnders fans praise Jack Branning actor Scott Maslen during emotional scenes
Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, founder of Grief Encounter lost her mother at age four, then her father five years later.
And, while praising the soap for tackling the subject, Dr Gilbert explained to Mirror Online how it should be done.
"The storyline currently being shown on BBC One's EastEnders is so important to highlight the real struggle parents have when telling their young children that mummy or daddy has died.
"In the soap, Jack is having a very 'real' response in not knowing when and how to tell the children; raising awareness that groups such as Grief Encounter are very much needed to offer guidance and support on how to communicate effectively with young people." comments Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, Founder of Grief Encounter, leading UK children's bereavement charity.
"One child in every classroom will experience bereavement by the time they reach 16 years of age. Telling children 'Mummy has 'gone' is confusing and doesn't convey the finality of what's happened.
"A parent should be honest and open, using age appropriate language and manner, allowing the child to understand and grieve fully."
Embarrassing Coronation Street blunder highlighted by fans after latest episode
Grief Encounter saw several comments from parents on their Facebook page in response to Tuesday's episode.
"Saying your Mum has gone away is the worse thing you can do," said Catherine Mitrenas. "How can your children ever trust you again? That is much more painful than telling the truth."
"It's a double grievance situation. Yes, it's just a soap but not a good way to portray how painful it is."
Tina Moss agreed, adding, "I still believe that honesty is the best policy...even if it's heartbreaking or traumatic."

Blood Red Rose – 'Come On'
Formed in the closing days of 2019, Blood Red Rose wasted no time in filling their hometown of Wincanton with dark indie vibes. A talented trio breathing new life into a timeless blend of electric guitars, sing-along hooks and stomping drums, they first rose to prominence with the release of their debut album 'Reflections', and ever since then they've been working hard to push their sound all across the world. With work on their sophomore album well underway, we thought it was only right to spend some time looking back at the critically acclaimed tracks that made 'Reflections' so good, and so for our latest feature, we're diving into the shifting melancholy world of 'Come On'.
Written, recorded, produced, and mixed by the band in their own makeshift studio, 'Come On' is the closing track from Blood Red Rose's debut album, and while it might sound like the last hurrah, it's easily one of their most accomplished and affecting tracks to date. A song that perfectly illustrates the band's immersive sound, everything about 'Come On' is built to elicit an emotive response, looking deep into the heart and soul of every listener and ensuring that everyone will find some solace in the ruminating tones.
A triumphant return to textured indie anthemics and dark, exploratory tones, 'Come On' is an untapered flourish of lo-fi indie sounds that promises the world and delivers easily, and if you're not hooked after just one listen, then there is clearly something wrong. A brilliant track that is open to interpretation and endlessly enjoyable, 'Come On' is a fine and beautiful balance between weight, power, and unyielding musical abilities.
While a strong track in its own right, it's also the perfect closing number for the album, and it's best experienced as such, so don't wait, and get stuck in today. You can find 'Come On' on Spotify below, along with the rest of the band's full debut record.
Best described as a true labour of love, 'Reflections' proves that the rough and ready indie rock of the early 2000s is still going strong today, and while their style might be fiercely modern, there's a gorgeous timeless quality that shines through perfectly.
Make sure you follow the band on Facebook and Instagram below and keep your eye out for the release of their highly anticipated sophomore record.

Q: In shell, how do I delete numbered duplicate files? I've got a directory with a few thousand files in it, named things like:
filename.ext
filename (1).ext
filename (2).ext
otherfile.ext
otherfile (1).ext
etc.

Most of the files with bracketed numbers are duplicates of the original, but in some cases they're not.
How can I keep my original files, delete the duplicates, but not lose the files that are different?
I know that I could rm *\).ext, but that obviously doesn't make sure that files match the original.
I'm using OS X, so I have a md5 program that functions sort of like md5sum in Linux, though it puts the hash at the end of the line instead of the beginning.  I was thinking I could use an awk script to take the output of md5 *.ext | awk 'some script', find duplicates by md5, and delete them, but the command line is too long (bash: /sbin/md5: Argument list too long).
And I don't know what to write in the script.  I was thinking of storing things in an array with this:
awk '{a[$NF]++} a[$NF]>1{sub(/).*/,""); sub(/.*(/,""); system("rm " $0);}'

But that always seems to delete my original.
What am I doing wrong?  How do I do it right?
Thanks.

A: Your awk script deletes original files because when you sort your files, . (period) sorts after  (space).  SO the first file that's seen is numbered, not the original, and subsequent checks (including the one against the original) compare files to the first numbered one.
Not only does rm *\).txt fail to match the original, it loses files that may not have an original in the first place.
I wouldn't do this quite this way.  Rather than checking every numbered file and verifying whether it matches an original, you can go through your list of originals, then delete the numbered files that match them.
Instead:
$ for file in *[^\)].txt; do echo "-- Found: $file"; rm -v $(basename "$file" .txt)\ \(*\).txt; done

You can expand this to check MD5's along the way.  But it's more code, so I'll break it into multiple lines, in a script:
#!/bin/bash

shopt -s nullglob              # Show nothing if a fileglob matches no files

for file in *[^\)].ext; do
  md5=$(md5 -q "$file")        # The -q option gives you only the message digest
  echo "-- Found: $file ($md5)"
  for duplicate in $(basename "$file" .ext)\ \(*\).ext; do
     if [[ "$md5" = "$(md5 -q "$duplicate")" ]]; then
        rm -v "$duplicate"
     fi
  done
done

As an alternative, you can probably get away with doing this a little more simply, with less CPU overhead than calculating MD5 digests.  Unix and Linux have a shell tool called cmp, which is like diff without the output.  So:
#!/bin/bash

shopt -s nullglob

for file in *[^\)].ext; do
  for duplicate in $(basename "$file" .ext)\ \(*\).ext; do
    if cmp "$file" "$duplicate"; then
      rm -v "$file"
    fi
  done
done

A: If you don't need to use AWK, you could maybe do something simpler in bash:
for file in *\([0-9]*\)*; do
    [ -e "$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/ ([0-9]\+)//')" ] && rm "$file"
done

Hope this helps a little =)

Robyn O'Neil vs. Vernon Fisher at Talley Dunn Gallery
by Michael Frank Blair November 18, 2013
Vernon Fisher is one of the more important contemporary artists that Texas lays claim to. He's known for conceptual, multimedia works dating back to the 70s that combine painting, sculpture and text. And he is my dad's exact age. Robyn O'Neil is roughly my age, has Texas on her resume, and has made waves of her own over the past decade or so with her epic, narrative drawings. Although presented by Dallas' Talley Dunn Gallery as two separate exhibitions, I looked through the five new paintings by Fisher and the slew of new drawings by O'Neil and found enough interesting connections to do a good old-fashioned compare and contrast.
Robyn O'Neil, The Pressure Chorus, 2013. Oil pastel on paper, 25 x 37 inches
First off, it's worth noting that this show marks a drastic change in O'Neil's work. These new drawings are smaller and simpler in subject matter and introduce color pastel to her trademark mechanical pencil. Her earlier, large scale works felt vast and immersive, invoking Henry Darger by populating her apocalyptic environments with little men in track suits to battle out the last days. In these new drawings, she has either ticked the clock forward or turned it way back. There are no figures or animals and only a handful of lonely trees. The landscape has reverted to primordial elements: sky, earth, light, water, and fire, all pregnant with strangeness and mystery. They trade in Darger for the clunky, mystic Forrest Bess. What hasn't changed is that the spaces of her work are still generated between imagination and the simple magic of "pencil" on paper.
Vernon Fisher, Happy Family, 2013. Acrylic on canvas, 48 x 48 inches
Fisher's landscapes, on the other hand, are photo-based. All the paintings begin with a hazy, black and white backdrop image of power lines, shrubbery and someone's childhood home or an old mini-golf structure. This image is like wallpaper—the kind on your computer screen rather than on the walls of that childhood home. It holds the space of the painting together and serves as an atmospheric sketchpad for Fisher's doodles and cut-and-pasted icons (the 21st century meaning of cut-and-paste), sourced from pop media past and present. It's about layers (the Photoshop variety), and a shallow virtual space created between each flat element. We aren't allowed into the deeper space of the photograph. Everything is trapped in its own medium, becoming surfaces rather than windows.
Vernon Fisher, Mona Monalisa, 2012. Acrylic on canvas, 61 x 61 inches
In Fisher's piece Mona Monalisa, the head of Krusty the Clown floats alongside a sinister Mickey Mouse and what could either be Mick Jagger or Dracula, all flashing their pearly whites. Fisher riffs on a simple theme to make subtle and overt visual connections that span decades. The thing about the 21st century is that past and present have been flattened, converted into code, and exist all together in the internet. Here, Fisher dredges them up as awkwardly pixelated scraps of data, in various stages of digital decay, and leaves us to negotiate what any of it means in relation to what it may have originally meant.
Robyn O'Neil, The Sky in Kerala, 2013. Oil pastel and graphite on paper, 11 ¾ x 15 inches
The younger O'Neil also forces together starkly different elements, but she uses the pre-Microsoft version of cut-and-paste. In The Sky in Kerala, a barren hillside rendered in graphite sits under a nebulous red sky done in oil pastel. The pastel is applied crudely and roughs up the paper into flecks and fuzzies. Its actual texture is paired with the delicately drawn texture of the hills and rocks. The color and temperature clash with the silver-gray earth. These are two different cosmoses with their own rules for how forces of nature work. And they're leveraged against each other to cast doubt and an eerie light onto the whole picture.
Robyn O'Neil, The Watcher, 2013. Oil pastel and graphite on paper, 14 x 14 inches
This same collision is found in many of these works such as Red Sky and The Watcher, where jagged, churning earth meets an alien sky. The way each space is illustrated has everything to do with what it is able to depict. It seems as if O'Neil is confronting her own style, its limitations and its substance. She is asking big questions.
Fisher's paintings reflect an open and intuitive process, but for the most part are mechanical in their execution. As freewheeling as the compositions seem, their translation into paint is meticulous and precise. What look like accidents or noise are actually careful representations of accidents or noise. Their presence in the painting is as intentional as anything else. Fisher screens all of the ghosts that make it into the machine.
Vernon Fisher, Schrodinger's Cat, 2013. Acrylic on canvas, 66 x 72 inches
Though both artists are working in traditional formats, the differences in their work speak to the concerns of their respective generations. It seems fitting that Fisher's work makes such a point to deal with the pictorial ramifications that the avalanche of technology has dropped on us. It continues in the line of Pop Art reasoning that artists of his generation worked through. He's still asking questions that probe the chinks in our collective imagination, the bricks and mortar of our visual culture. And I suppose it's symptomatic of O'Neil, as representative of the next generation of artists, to sidestep that problem and return to a more primitive relationship with pictures. Perhaps by turning inward, she's searching for the cracks in her own imagination. Perhaps those of us who grew up with virtual versions of our environment are hungry to rediscover the richness of the physical world in its own right.
Robyn O'Neil: We Spoke Mirage and Vernon Fisher: Flaubert's parrot Schrodinger's cat hey look monkey's throwing shit are up at Talley Dunn Gallery in Dallas through December 14th.

Cost: $15,000.00
Full Account of the Proceedings in Relation to Capt. Kidd.
William Kidd
"THE BEST CONTEMPORARY ACCOUNT OF THE FAMOUS PIRATE": FIRST EDITION OF THE DRAMATIC 1701 ACCOUNT OF CAPTAIN KIDD
KIDD, William (MITCHELL, John). A Full Account of the Proceedings in Relation to Capt. Kidd. In two Letters. London: Printed and Sold by the Booksellers of London and Westminster, 1701. Small slim quarto (6 by 8 inches), 19th-century three-quarter dark green morocco, marbled boards and endpapers; pp. 51. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $15,000.
First edition of one of the earliest works to tell the legendary story of Captain Kidd, published the same year the notorious pirate was hanged for murder.
Few men "caused more fear, speculation and gold-digging, than Captain William Kidd. Along the shores of New England and Long Island, from his day to this, men have dug in the dead of night… to find his buried Gold" (Elliott, New-England History). "When Lord Bellomont came to America to succeed Fletcher as Governor of the colony of New York, the neighborhood of New York City was a sort of rendezvous for pirates, and he early began to take measures to suppress their ravages." William Kidd, then a reputable captain, "was sent out in 1697 to capture pirates. Instead he turned pirate himself, and while he was never convicted of this charge, he was hanged at Execution Dock for the murder of one of his sailors. Some eminent noblemen, among whom was Lord Bellomont himself… were accused of complicity in Kidd's piratical scheme" (Church 797). Dr. John Mitchell, considered this work's author, here provides a Full Account "of all the Steps taken by the Earl of Bellomont, from his first hearing the name of Kidd, till he left England: and in saying so I do in effect affirm, that I was acquainted with every thing that pass'd in that affair" (1). "This is the best contemporary account of the most famous pirate of the English colonies" (Streeter 860). Authorship also variously attributed to Lord Somers or Lord Halifax (Howes M677). With tiny original gutter-edge pinholes. Sabin 37703. ESTC T127812. Title page upper corner with "225" in unidentified cursive. Small dealer description (1 by 2-1/2 inches) affixed to front pastedown. Tiny inkstamps of "duplicate" to initial blank, title page verso.
Text generally quite fresh with tiny bit of gutter-edge paper repairs, expert archival restoration to blank lower edge of rear leaf. A highly desirable near-fine copy.

These 'Masked Singer' Lion Theories Show Fans Are WAY Better At Guessing Than The Judges
By Leah Marilla Thomas
Michael Becker / FOX
The Masked Singer has been steadily unmasking its mysterious cast of stars, but the remaining contestants have the judges panel stumped. However, folks at home seem to be better at playing this guessing game. And luckily, they have quite a few theories about who the lion is on Masked Singer.
Rumer Willis (actress, singer, daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, and a feverishly popular theory for this particular contestant) has already denied that she is the Lion — which is, of course, exactly what the Lion would say. However, it does encourage us to keep guessing until the mane and the mask come off. During the Jan. 30 episode, the lion sang Sia's arrangement of "California Dreamin'" — a song popularized by the Mamas & the Papas in the '60s. Everything from "sugar and spice" to "tick tock" and "let out my roar" were mentioned in the lion's opening clue segment. Those could be construed as references to so many musical artists, it's wild. And to make the whole thing even more confounding, the lion then brought out a scrunchie.
Some of the guesses on Twitter include scrunchie pioneer Debbie Gibson, Saved By The Bell star Tiffani Thiessen, Kesha herself, and even Mel B from the Spice Girls. Here are some of the strongest theories.
VideosRecordedLive on YouTube
The Get Out star didn't really use her full vocal range on Girl when she was in character as Marnie, and even Peter Pan Live didn't show off all of her chops. Williams also did a cover of Kesha's "Tik Tok" that went kind of viral back in 2010.
Jodie Sweetin & Jacob Tolliver - Topic on YouTube
Don't you associate scrunchies with Full House? Plus, Sweetin does have some singing talent.
Amnesty International USA on YouTube
While she's in a band and has sung on-screen before, Wood is more well-known for her acting than her vocal chops, and might not be the panel's first guess.
Haylie Duff
HaylieDuffans on YouTube
Early on, the lion said she had "a lot of women in her Pride," assumedly meaning family. Duff's singing career may be primarily linked to her sister Hilary, but she starred on Broadway as Laura Bell Bundy's replacement in Hairspray. It's possible, or in the Lion's case, paws-ible!
Fredy Rimando on YouTube
This was a popular pick on social media. As Diana Ross' daughter, she is Hollywood royalty. Look how shy she is in the above video, despite her natural talent! The lion mentioned The Wizard of Oz in the clues, and Diana Ross starred in The Wiz. There's also Tracee's sister Rhonda Ross, who has an incredible voice as well.
Rumer Willis, A Lying Liar Who Lies

Her mother, Demi Moore, is also a scrunchie pioneer, and the lion sounds exactly like Rumer. Plus, Willis starred on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago, and in the lion's previous appearance, the Hailey Times newspaper appeared, and Rumer Willis is from Hailey, Idaho. The Wizard of Oz clue could be referencing Willis' "Over The Love" Tour — like "Over The Rainbow," perhaps? Nicole Scherzinger also mentioned that the lion stood like a dancer, and Willis won Dancing With The Stars. All the clues add up! Is it possible she's just trying to throw us off the scent?
All in all, Rumer still seems like the mostly likely candidate, but for now, we'll have to take her word for it and keep on guessing.

Google Confirms Some Google Search Algos Look at History of Page/Site
October 7, 2016 at 4:58 am PST By Jennifer Slegg
In today's Webmaster Office Hours, John Mueller was answering a question related to the frequency of Google updating ranking signals for pages in the search results. But one thing that was interesting was he confirmed that the history of a page or site plays a role in how some search algos rank it, something that would probably go unnoticed by most that watched the Office Hours.
Here is what he said (emphasis mine):
And the various algorithms that we have, they do try to be fast and responding to what's out there on the web, but some of them are fast, some of them are a bit slower, and some of them like to take into account more of the history of what has been changing there.
Now SEOs have long speculated that historical changes can have an impact. While the most obvious one would be changes made to content, Google has also said that sites can see Panda recovery very quickly after improving the quality on individual pages.
Another possibility is redirect related, but again, these are issues that can be solved fairly quickly when redirects are changed or removed.
So the question remains of what other historical signals could be taken into account. Link (on site or off site) related? Schema related? Some specific content related signals? Or about 190 other possible signals it could be. And Mueller does specifically say "some" implying there are multiple signals that take history into account.
We do know that historical changes can have an impact with manual actions. For instance, Google has confirmed if they see a site repeatedly disavowing links, filing a reconsideration request for a link spam manual action, then removing the disavow after the manual action is removed, that Google will treat that site more harshly in the future. The same applies to legacy manual actions, that are still attached to a site from a previous domain owner's spammy SEO. But those are all manual actions, not algorithmic.
I am sure SEOs will be mulling over this.
Here is the video queued to the revelant quote. For the full context see this article.

What is the Prominent Guide for the Templar?
When you are looking for a game guide. it's important to ask yourself what kind of guide are you looking for and your style of play. If you're interested in making the best use of your time when playing as a Templar, then you will want a guide that specializes outlining the most efficient progression route for this class. You will also want a high quality guide that is also inexpensive. There is nothing worse than dropping $40 on a guide that fails to answer all of your questions. Aside from how specific the guide is written for the purposes of playing as a Templar, other factors include how up-to-date and detailed the rest of the information listed is so you will have a general grasp of the game as a whole. So let's examine the following three guides.
This elder scrolls online templar guide has a strong emphasis on revealing the most efficient routes toward character progression and expediting the grinding process toward level 50. In addition, it details information on how to play an offensive, support, or defensive role as the Templar class.
This guide respects your time and claims you will reach level 50 in less than seven days. The author has written it in a clear and easy-to-follow style that benefits both newbies and veterans. Furthermore, the guide shows you how to level your Templar character solo so you don't have to rely on others to carry you through the harder mobs.
The author acknowledges that some quests are more profitable than others. He outlines these profitable quests and aims to reduce the time you spend questing blindly. This also means you will avoid mind-numbing grinding. Furthermore, the guide presents you with three "core" Templar builds with room for experimentation. These builds are effective in both PvE and PvP settings.
This Unofficial Elder Scrolls Online Templar Guide offers strategies explaining how to maximize your character's damage output so you can focus on strategy and execution rather than min-maxing your build. The information in it is up-to-date with the current patch. In addition, this guide is the least expensive of the three, priced at $29.99.
The ESO Mastery Guide aims to reduce the amount of time you spend leveling up your character and earning money. It also provides advanced strategies for PvE and PvP gameplay. As some players feel overwhelmed by the amount of freedom they're given in an MMO, this guide outlines progression routes that feel natural and allow you to pick up collectibles along the way. It also specializes in listing crafting paths so you don't spend too much time wondering if there is better gear you could be working toward.
The thing about MMOs is that what may be true today may be wrong two months after. The authors are well-aware of this fact and promise to keep their guide up-to-date whenever the game receives a patch. In addition, subscription to this guide includes 24/7 customer support.
Although this guide does not specialize in the Templar class (thus, there will be less dedicated manpower geared toward keeping the Templar metagame up-to-date) it does include detailed information regarding the collectibles of the game and maps and locations for crafting materials, something theelderscrollsonlineguide.com fails to mention. It is important to note that there are six different guides altogether and each one is priced at $37.00. Unfortunately, this means purchasing all the information they have to offer would cost more than $200!
The author of this elder scrolls online guide has an extensive background with both the Elder Scrolls series and the MMO scene (e.g., Rift and Lord of the Rings Online). It is mostly geared toward beginner players, but does list detailed information on the endgame as well. Overall, they offer a stronger emphasis on the intricacies of the crafting system and how to make gold in the fastest way possible. It also has a list of every skyshard (i.e., for every three of these collectibles, you will gain an extra skill point) in the game.
The author understands that a game should be fun! Every progression route feels natural and satisfying. Namely, the quest line the author recommends avoid repeating the same dungeon and, thus, every experience will feel fresh as the developers intended. Plus, this guide promises you will reach level 50 in roughly a week.
This guide has a more general outline for each individual class. So if you're looking to get a feel for each class before committing to one, this guide will give you a snapshot of what it'll be like to play as one of the four main classes. However, this guide may not have the same amount of detail when it comes to detailing Templar-specific strategies.
Each guide excels in one area more than the other. For example, the theelderscrollsonlineguide.com is only $37.00 and still offers a lot of relevant information about the game. However, the ESO Mastery Guides has the added benefit of having an entire team devoted to keeping the information up-to-date but it can be the most expensive of the three. and might not worth your buck if you're mainly only interested in mastering the Templar class. If you're only focus on learning the Templar class, then you will be satisfied with the Unofficial Elder Scrolls Online Templar Guide.

Is It possible to Brush Wet Curly Hair Successfully? Is It possible to Brush Wet Curly Hair Successfully?
Is it possible to Brush Wet Curly Hair Successfully?
The thought of brushing my hair in any state at the moment is enough to make me cringe. Will I rip out my hair? Of course! Not only is my hair dry at the moment, I am in need of some serious conditioning before I can even consider detangling at all.
Believe it or not, some naturalistas do prefer to use a paddle brush when detangling their hair and get this, they do it wet.
You should detangle with a boat load of conditioner anyway, but if you plan to use a bush you will need a ton of slip. Do not use the brush to work out the tangles in your hair for that we suggest finger detangling. This leads us to the next tip.
You need to work out all the major knots before even considering a paddle bush. Your hair is at its weakest when wet and if you have a knot, your brush will rip it out rather than detangle it.
If you do not want to lose a ton of hair, make sure you finger detangle first, and then use the brush last.
When using a brush, make sure you have your hair sectioned off into manageable sections; start brushing from the bottom, working your way to the top.
This technique will minimize damage overall. Take your time because if you rush, you will only damage your hair in the process.
Start off with a clean brush – free of excess hair – so you can gauge how much hair you are losing. If you are losing enormous amounts of hair with every stroke, put the brush away and use your fingers or wide tooth comb.
Hair loss just isn't worth it.
Black Hair Information > Recently Added > GENERAL ARTICLES > TIPS > Is it possible to Brush Wet Curly Hair Successfully?
Yes! That's the only way I comb/brush mine!
Right. Slap some conditioner in there and get going.
Of course it's possible to brush curly wet hair. If you don't good luck getting through it after it's dried. I put some good product in my hair. I use a wide tooth comb and a brush actually called "The Wet Brush". It's made specifically for curly hair. I part my hair in sections, and braid the section I've already combed/brushed out.
This is the only way I ensure complete coverage and get all my tangles out. Of course everything should be done in moderation. Always work in sections that are a reasonable size and twist what's been detangled. And as always gotta have that slip!


This webpage aims to provide a brief introduction to lichens – intriguing and attractive organisms, which are present all around us.
First of all I should start with a brief description of what lichens are, as one may be familiar with the plants and animals of Berkshire and Oxfordshire, but not with this frequently-overlooked group. Lichens are self-supporting associations between two different organisms, a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. Each lichen comprises only one fungal species but may have more than one associate so they always bear the name of the fungus. There are around 1,800 species in Britain.
There are many advantages of looking at lichens.
Lichens can be seen almost anywhere so whether looking at trees, pavements, roof tiles or walls, lichens are usually to be found! Lichens are often the first colonizers in a habitat and show amazing adaptability to harsh environments. Thus, lichenology is not restricted to a particular type of habitat.
Lichens are not only attractive but are almost the same throughout the year, with little variation between the seasons and so can generally be identified as easily in the summer as the winter.
While lichens can be appreciated simply using one's unaided eyes, a hand lens is very useful in the field in order to see the detail of structures. To safeguard their longevity in our countryside, lichens should only be collected for study or teaching purposes and not where they are rare or where removal from the habitat will cause degradation.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday claimed that it will get over 17 seats from northeastern states in the Lok Saha election.
Quoting an internal exit poll done by the BJP, party president Amit Shah said, "We are getting more than 17 seats from Northeast."
Shah exuded confidence that his party has already crossed the majority mark after sixth phase of Lok Sabha polls.
"The opposition parties may meet to elect a leader of opposition," he said.
According to the exit poll done by the saffron brigade, BJP will get 61-75 seats in Uttar Pradesh. In Bihar BJP is getting 17 seats. The party, according to the exit poll, is getting all seven seats in Delhi.
In Karnataka, the BJP claims it will get 20 seats, Odisha 8-13, West Bengal 13-23, Maharashtra 22, Rajasthan 24, Gujarat 24 and in Jharkhand, the party expects of getting 6 seats.
"You (reporters) keep asking me how many seats we will win. I have travelled across the country and looking at the popular response, I am fully confident that the BJP after fifth and sixth phase of the elections has crossed the majority figure," Amit Shah said during a press conference at the party headquarters in New Delhi.
"It is going to cross 300 after the seventh phase and the NDA under Prime Minister Narendra Modi will form the government," he added.

Katie Got Bandz "P-E-T-T-Y" Video

Katie Got Bandz releases the video to her club anthem "P-E-T-T-Y."
The past couple of months have been huge for the first lady of Chicago drill: Katie Got Bandz. She's got two buzzing hits right now, one with Jeremih, and one much-needed anthem that's quickly putting all the Instagram-thirsty hoes (males too) to shame: "P-E-T-T-Y." The song reworks that popular playground chant "U-G-L-Y" (you ain't got no alibi...) into a nasty club banger. Though most of the lines are hilarious, you can't deny Ms. Bandz is spitting truth in the face of so many members of the misguided social media generation.
In the new video, Katie plays a guardian angel who can be called upon, à la a State Farm Insurance agent, whenever your significant other starts acting petty. The song comes off Katie's upcoming tape, Drillary Clinton 3, which should be the biggest project of her young career.

Figure 4-21.-Simplified comparison of natural field density and submarine anomaly
MAGNETIC NOISE
Aviation Electronics Technician 1 (Organizational)
Figure 4-22.-Submarine's magnetic moment. magnetic strength. In views C and D, the submarine's magnetic field distorts the natural field as shown. The density of the natural field is decreased in view C and increased in view D. The natural angle of dip is also affected, but only very slightly. Submarine Anomaly The maximum range at which a submarine may be detected is a function of both the intensity of its magnetic anomaly and the sensitivity of the detector. A submarine's magnetic moment (magnetic intensity) (fig. 4-22) determines the intensity of the anomaly. It is dependent mainly on the submarine's alignment in the earth's field, its size, the latitude at which it is detected, and the degree of its permanent magnetization. MAD equipment, in proper operating condition, is very sensitive; but the submarine's anomaly, even at a short distance, is normally very weak. The strength of a complex magnetic field (such as that associated with a submarine) varies as the inverse cube of the distance from the field's source. If the detectable strength of a field source has a given value at a given distance and the distance is doubled, the detectable strength of the source at the increased distance will then be one-eighth of its former value. Therefore, at least two facts should be clear. First, MAD equipment must be operated at a very low altitude to gain the greatest proximity possible to the enemy submarines. Second, the searching aircraft should fly at a predetermined speed and follow an estimated search pattern. This ensures systematic and thorough searching of the prescribed area so that no existing anomalies are missed. Anomaly Strength Up to this point, the inferred strength of a submarine's anomaly has been exaggerated for purposes of explanation. Its actual value is usually so small that MAD equipment must be capable of detecting a distortion of approximately one part in 60,000. This fact is made apparent by pointing out that the direction of alignment of the earth's magnetic lines of force is rarely changed more than one-half of 1 degree in a submarine anomaly. Figure 4-23, view A, represents a contour map showing the degree of anomaly caused by a submarine. The straight line is approximately 800 Figure 4-23.-A. Degree of anomaly. B. Anomaly stylus. C.

As offshore wind grows, demand for vessels and skilled labour will grow quickly
EIC foresees 'immense growth potential' for offshore wind
26 Mar 2020by David Foxwell
A new report from the Energy Industries Council (EIC) in the UK says there is "little doubt that the immense growth trajectory for offshore wind will continue." The report, Energy Insight Report: Global Offshore Wind, says forecasts for operational capacity by 2030 vary between approximately 164 GW and 200 GW
It also highlighted that the rise and gradual commercialisation of floating offshore wind technology will only add to this trend.
This fast pace of growth is not without its challenges, however. "As more projects are added to the pipeline, concerns have been raised on the supply chain's ability to meet global demand, particularly for vessels, skilled labour and fabrication shipyards," said the EIC.
"But an increased awareness of the risks and effects of climate change is likely to lead to a greater focus on decarbonisation efforts in the supply chain and in the means of component production.
"The next few years could see important discussions on future supply chain engagement, effective project execution and whether the existing frameworks for offshore wind remain fit for purpose."
The report noted that the offshore wind sector's global expansion trend continued in 2019, bringing overall operational capacity to over 28 GW.
Key markets such as the UK, China, Germany, the Netherlands and Taiwan further strengthened their positions as project pipelines were expanded and ongoing developments progressed.
2019 also saw the emergence of cross-sector and sector coupling discussions, particularly around decarbonisation of offshore oil and gas platforms and the production of 'green' hydrogen via electrolysis using offshore wind.
"The sector is expected to see strong growth, not only in existing 'mature' markets, but equally in emerging ones," the EIC said. "Examples of countries that have gained significant interest from developers and the supply chain alike in 2019 are Poland, Japan, Vietnam and Ireland.
"The launch of project activities in France also gained attention, particularly after the French Government decided to increase its installation targets and announced a 1 GW annual build-out ambition for the second part of this decade."

Robert Georges Jozef Luis Leo (bOb) Van Reeth (Temse, 26 februari 1943) is een Vlaamse architect.

Biografie
In zijn werk gaat Van Reeth niet uit van een bepaalde architecturale vorm, maar wel van leef- en werkpatronen van de bewoners. Hij begon in 1965 en ontwierp vooral woningen, onder meer in Mechelen en Kalmthout. In 1972, het jaar waarin hij docent werd aan het Nationaal Hoger Instituut voor Bouwkunst in Antwerpen, richtte hij met Jean-Paul Laenen en Marcel Smets de werkgroep Krokus op. Deze werkgroep hield zich bezig met de restauratie van de oude stadskern van Mechelen. In de jaren 80 ontwierp hij onder andere het nieuwe gebouw van het Onze-Lieve-Vrouwecollege aan de Rubenslei te Antwerpen. In 2007 tekende hij een nieuwe vleugel voor de Sint-Sixtusabdij in Westvleteren en het zwart-witte Huis Van Roosmalen met zicht op de Schelde. Vlakbij ontwierp hij ook het nieuwe Zuiderterras, een café-restaurant op de kaaien. Het bureau AWG o.l.v. bOb Van Reeth won de architectuurwedstrijd tot het bouwen van een memoriaal en documentatiecentrum voor de Holocaust en de mensenrechten te Mechelen, pal tegenover de bestaande Dossinkazerne.

Hij stond ook bekend om zijn kijk op het programma van eisen. Volgens hem bestaan er maar enkele succesvolle stadsvormen. Experimenteren tot nieuwe vormen hoeft dan ook niet. Hij grijpt terug naar al ontwikkelde, werkende principes. Tijdens het ontwerpprocces trekt hij zich vrijwel niets aan van het programma van eisen. Hij ontwikkelt gebouwen die kunnen meegroeien en waarin zich door verloop van tijd verschillende functies in kunnen vestigen. Hij benoemt dit als "de Intelligente Ruïne".

Van Reeth werd in januari 1998 als eerste Vlaamse Bouwmeester aangesteld door de toenmalige Vlaams minister van Financiën, Begroting en Gezondheidsbeleid Wivina Demeester. Op 1 juni 2005 werd hij opgevolgd door Marcel Smets. Op 25 november 2005 werd hij aangeduid als lid van de kwaliteitskamer Oosterweelverbinding. Datzelfde jaar eindigde hij op nr. 405 in de Vlaamse versie van De Grootste Belg, buiten de officiële nominatielijst. Van Reeth werd in 2012 geridderd tot Grootofficier in de Leopoldsorde met ranginneming op 15 november 2011.

In december 2014 werd bOb Van Reeth aangesteld als tijdelijk voorzitter van de welstandscommissie van de stad Antwerpen.

Letter from South Korea
Kim Young-ik
The handshake in Singapore between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un marked a radical shift in US policy towards North Korea. It was an unfamiliar scene, indeed. For more than 70 years, US and North Korea have been in armed stand-off. During the summit Kim is reported to have told Trump: "Many people will think of this as a form of fantasy… a science-fiction movie." While the US president declared, "We have developed a very special bond."

Kyung-nok Chun
Kyung-nok Chun reports on how a strike by rail workers shook the country's rightwing president and altered the political landscape.
The 23-day strike by the South Korean railway union that ended on 31 December was by far the most serious challenge to Park Geun-hye, whose election as president a year ago sowed horror among many worker activists and the left.
The strike was the lightning rod for the anger of everyone disgusted by Park - the former dictator's daughter. It was a battle fought on behalf of the entire working class. And though the outcome fell short of a victory, it left in its wake fertile ground for future struggles to develop.
Crisis in Korea
Kim Yeong-ik
The increasing tensions on the Korean peninsula over the last few months have brought a renewed sense of insecurity to many in the region. The two Koreas are no strangers to these sorts of tensions, but this time the crisis has prompted some to make comparisons with the Cuban missile crisis of 1962.
On 30 March, North Korea even announced that "inter-Korean relations are in a state of war" and later claimed that it would restart its suspended nuclear enrichment facility at Yongbyon. Many commentators have also speculated that North Korea would launch a ballistic missile or carry out a fourth nuclear test.

Kim Ha-young
The recent artillery exchanges in the Korean peninsula come after a period of escalating tension in the region, reports Kim Ha-young.
At the end of November, North Korea fired artillery shells into Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea, killing four people, including two innocent civilians. It is claimed that South Korea retaliated with its own artillery, resulting in major damage to North Korea. A North Korean broadcast reported, "The enemy fired artillery shells indiscriminately, even to residential areas."
South Korean beef protests
CJ Park
What began as a mass protest against the new right wing government's decision to resume US beef imports entered a new stage when around a million protesters took to the streets nationwide in South Korea on 10 June.
They demanded "complete renegotiation" of the deal and "[President] Lee Myung-bak out" of the four month old government.
It surprised not only South Korean society but the world with the spontaneity and creativity demonstrated by youth and students who are often labelled as "apolitical". The protests quickly grew into a broader movement for democracy and against pro-business reforms like privatisation of water, gas, electricity, health and education.
