During the last election, both parties pushed the idea that it was all about jobs. Now, I�ll have to admit the national Republican Party seems more interested in chasing rabbits than doing anything about jobs. However, the Florida Legislature has quietly created legislation making a whole new industry. The industry will create an immense new job market, boost retail sales and increase the home resale value for anyone who has a back yard.
That new industry is a backyard gun range.
I�m sure libertines are ecstatic over Florida Statute 790.15, because it has limited government oversight and even has fines if pesky local governments try to add further restrictions to the statute. Way to go, Florida legislator dudes!
My questions: What will happen if Sleepless in Bluewater Bay decides to pop off a couple of high-capacity magazines at 2 a.m.? What will the neighbors say?

Syria: Ban Ki-moon Warns Of Catastrophic Civil War
By Ian Black, Middle East editor/ The Guardian –
Syria risks a "catastrophic civil war" in the wake of the massacre of more than 100 civilians, including 49 children, the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, warned has warned as the Damascus government again blamed the killings on terrorist gangs.
UN secretary general demands that Syrian regime implements Kofi Annan peace plan in wake of Houla massacre
Amid evidence of international disarray over how to handle the crisis, the UN chief bluntly told President Bashar al-Assad to implement the six-point peace plan being promoted by Kofi Annan, though many consider it already effectively dead in the face of rising violence.
"I demand that the government of Syria act on its commitment to the Annan peace plan," Ban told a conference in Turkey. "The massacres of the sort seen last weekend could plunge Syria into a catastrophic civil war, a civil war from which the country would never recover."
UN monitors had not been sent to Syria "just to bear witness to the slaughter of innocents," he said. "We are not there to play the role of passive observer to unspeakable atrocities."
William Hague, Britain's foreign secretary, echoed Ban, warning that Syria was moving closer to "all-out civil war".
Syria said "preliminary" findings of it own investigation showed the massacre in the Houla area near Homs was the work of 600-800 "armed men".
Brigadier-General Qasim Jamal Suleiman, who is leading the inquiry, said the army had not been present in the area when the killings were carried out last Friday. The victims had refused to join anti-regime demonstrations and some bodies were of armed men killed in clashes, he said. None had been killed by shellfire.
Jihad Makdissi, the Syrian foreign ministry spokesman, said: "The massacre is in line with the armed opposition's pathetic plan to show that there is sectarian strife."
The UN human rights council in Geneva is to debate the issue on Friday amid calls for an independent UN-led investigation into the worst massacre so far in Syria's 14-month uprising – the most violent chapter of the Arab spring.
The Syrian government also announced on Thursday that it had released 500 prisoners "without blood on their hands" – an apparent gesture to Annan after his talks with Assad this week. But many thousands more remain in detention and Damascus has failed to implement nearly all the other elements of the UN-Arab League plan.
Makdissi repeated that Syria wanted the plan to succeed and urged opposition groups who were against foreign intervention to enter talks with the government.
As Washington and Moscow swapped accusations, analysts said that with Russian backing apparently guaranteed, Assad feels that he can ride out international outrage over the Houla killings, even though 15 countries have expelled Syrian ambassadors and diplomats.
Support from Moscow and Beijing was the main item reported by Sana, Syria's state news agency, for the second day running. "Russia's position … is balanced and consistent and completely logical," said Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for President Vladmir Putin. "So it is hardly appropriate to talk about this position changing under someone's pressure."
On Wednesday, the White House accused Russia and China of being on "the wrong side of history". Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the UN, hinted at action "outside of the Annan plan and the authority of this [the UN security] council if there was no agreement inside it". It looks unlikely that there will be. Hague said Britain and its EU partners would encourage other countries to impose sanctions on Syria without UN approval.
Signs of divisions emerged from within the ranks of the armed wing of the Syrian opposition, with fighters on the ground repeating a warning to the Assad regime to implement the terms of the Annan plan by noon on Friday or the ceasefire – in truth more notional than real for the past six weeks – would end.
The Free Syrian Army's Turkey-based commander, Colonel Riad al-Asaad, earlier denied any such deadline had been issued – presumably in the hope of pinning the blame for failure entirely on Damascus.
"Nobody has the right to issue press releases, take decisions, or speak about operations in the Free Syrian Army's name, except for the FSA command inside Syria," spokesman Colonel Kassem Saadeddine told AFP. "From now on, all decisions will be taken from inside Syria. Anyone who wants to speak in the name of the FSA should do it from the battlefield, not through media. We are the ones leading the operations; we are the ones mobilising the street.
"It is our children who are being massacred, not the children of those staying in hotels and in [defectors'] camps," he added, in reference to Syrian army deserters who sought refuge in Turkey.
The rift highlighted concerns about the ability of the armed opposition to act in a disciplined manner and under central political control as the international debate continues about how to handle the crisis.

What Is Judaism?
Religious Jews regard the practice of Judaism as an expression of their relationship with God. Judaism, which dates back 3000 years, is one of the oldest and most consistent monotheistic religions. It was born in the Middle East and was influenced by many other religions, such as Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam. It is not a homogeneous religion; it consists of a multitude of different viewpoints, which distinguishes it from other religions in many ways, such as its belief in the existence of God.
Many Americans who consider themselves "Jewish" may be religious Buddhist or atheist, or they may be less concerned with religion and consider themselves only as cultural heritage. The Jewish Encyclopedia (1906) tells us that Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people, although we do not quite get that far. This is not an easy question, for "Jewish identity" has a dual character, both religious and ethnic. Inspired by the Tanach (Hebrew Bible), the monotheistic religion of Judaism revolves around the central concept of the Torah. The orthodox maximalist approach defines Judaism as the 613 commandments listed by Maimonides (1135-1204), which are listed in the Talmud (a vast collection of them). The Torah is essentially a set of rules for the daily life of the people of Israel, the Torah and the Law of God.
Orthodox Jews abide by these ancient rules of life, while reformist Jews take a more liberal approach. Jewish way of life, traditionally embodied in religious obligations and laws, also explains the importance of the Torah as a guide to the daily life of Jews in the modern world. Reform Judaism, which in many countries is called liberal or progressive Judaism, defines Judaism as a religion and not as a race or culture. Reform Judaism reaffirms the diversity of beliefs and practices it recognizes, and it begins with the idea that Jews introduce innovation into religion as a way to preserve tradition.
The denomination emphasizes the ethical reputation of the prophets and rejects most of the ritual and ceremonial Torah laws, while respecting moral laws. Reform Judaism emphasized personal ties to Jewish tradition and in many cases developed egalitarian prayer services in Hebrew.
In this way, Reformed Judaism enabled them to innovate, while preserving tradition, accepting diversity and asserting commonalities, affirming faith by rejecting doubt, and giving credence to sacred texts without sacrificing critical scholarship. The Jewish people, throughout history, is firmly rooted in its tradition and remains faithful to its history. The denomination emphasizes that Judaism, frozen in time, is an heirloom and not a living fountain. Since its inception, it has maintained that Judaism "frozen in time" cannot effectively coexist with people living in modernity.
We believe that Judaism must change and adapt to the needs of the day in order to survive, and we see the Torah as a living, God-inspired document that enables us to face the timeless and contemporary challenges of everyday life. The most widely recognized creed of Reform Judaism, the Ten Commandments, has 13 points: "Reform Judaism affirms the importance of recognizing the diversity of its beliefs and practices." The daily liturgy and its prayer books have a description of God that probably lies before rabbinical Judaism as we know it. First of all, God is a God who, like everything else, depends on others for his existence, not only in the form of a human being, but also in his nature. In the modern era of faith, the liberal reformist branch has challenged traditional beliefs and practices by challenging traditional beliefs and practices.
While the concept of tikkun olam ("to repair the world") is a central part of Reform Judaism, the Torah is also seen as a living document that enables Reform Jews to face the challenges of life. By recognizing the diversity of Jewish beliefs and practices, Reformed Zionism has embraced a number of new ideas and ways of thinking about the meaning of the Torah. Reform Jews believe that the movement has enabled them to innovate, while preserving tradition, accepting diversity and asserting commonalities, affirming faith while rejecting doubt and bringing faith into sacred texts without sacrificing critical scholarship.
Jews believe that the history of Judaism is crucial to understanding the rich heritage of law, culture and tradition that it possesses. The Jewish people is the result of covenants and special agreements made between them and only one God. He communicates with believers through prophets and rewards good deeds, while also punishing evil, and he communicates with believers through prophets.
The Jewish religion is monotheistic and is based on the belief in one all-embracing God. Jewish doctrine is based on the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament, and the Hebrew Bible is the foundation of Christianity. Judaism is at the center of Christianity, as are other religions such Islam. Jesus, Mary and all the apostles are Jews, but they are all outside Judaism.

Q: One MVC Project or Two? We have a large MVC .NET website for a hospital; it has a Doctor Portal, and a Patient Portal. In essence it is two sites, with very little feature overlap.  We outsourced the Doctor part to a Vendor and now we are creating the Patient part.  I am recommending that we create two separate MVC projects since we are creating the Patient portal from scratch and don't want the headache of integrating within the other code. Control, Route clashes etc.  There are already 100 routes in the Global.asax for the doctor site.
The Director is somewhat technical and wants me to explain why I want to create another project. I simply don't want the headache of having to work in other code, within the same view folder, and control folder. What are my options?  Am I jumping the gun, and should just stick to the current project. Also the doctor site is live and we are adding the patient part. Does MVC/.NET offer a workaround for this?

A: This sounds like a good case for using MVC Areas - a feature added in MVC 2.  Check out this MSDN article for more information.
From the article itself:

... However, some applications can have a
  large number of controllers, and each
  controller can be associated with
  several views. For these types of
  applications, the default ASP.NET MVC
  project structure can become unwieldy.
To accommodate large projects, ASP.NET
  MVC lets you partition Web
  applications into smaller units that
  are referred to as areas. Areas
  provide a way to separate a large MVC
  Web application into smaller
  functional groupings. An area is
  effectively an MVC structure inside an
  application. An application could
  contain several MVC structures
  (areas).

A: One of the benefits you'd get by using two different projects is that if one part of your system falls, the other doesn't. If everything is chained together you might bring the whole thing down.
If they're on separate projects (separate servers,etc.) then your patient portal would survive; and as you say, the patient portal shares very little with the Doctor portal.

1-я Сибирская штурмовая отдельная бригада — ударное (отборное) войсковое соединение в 1-м Средне-Сибирском корпусе Сибирской армии. Первоначально сформирована в сентябре 1918 года в составе корпуса (во 2-й Сибирской стрелковой дивизии) как Штурмовой батальон, в феврале 1919 года развернутый в бригаду численностью до 3 тысяч человек.

Боевой путь
По приказу командира 1-го Средне-Сибирского корпуса генерала А. Н. Пепеляева 24 сентября 1918 года в составе корпуса началось формирование отдельного Штурмового батальона, состоявшего из четырёх рот, под командованием капитана Е. И. Урбанковского. Формирование батальона производилось в Ачинске. За основу был взят небольшой добровольческий офицерский отряд, а из 7-го Кузнецкого полка дополнительно были выделены офицеры: капитан Урбанковский; штабс-капитан Николай Заскокин; Штабс-капитан Владимир Никольский; штабс-капитан Алексей Иванов; поручик Алексей Струнге; поручик Юлий Куней; командир Томского гусарского эскадрона штабс-капитан Плотников. В состав батальона были включены и сформированные ранее две отдельные штурмовые роты — первая была организована в Томске (32 офицеров и 210 добровольцев), а вторая — в Новониколаевске (всего 32 офицера и добровольца).

В конце октября сводная рота штурмовиков в 140 штыков при трёх пулемётах под командованием капитана Урбанковского усмирило восстание крестьян в с. Чумай Мариинского уезда Томской губернии. В ноябре батальон принимал участие в боях на Западном фронте в боях за Кыновский завод, который и был взят 1 декабря. 11 декабря батальон захватил Нытвенский завод, разгромив 1-й Морской Кронштадтский полк — 2 батальона сдались в плен, а 3-й, оказавший сопротивление, был полностью уничтожен. Около 100 сдавшихся матросов были после боя заколоты штыками. Уничтоженный Морской Кронштадтский полк насчитывал более 2 тыс. человек.

Продолжая наступление, батальон участвовал в боях по овладению Пермью (в том числе захватил станцию Пермь с большим количеством эшелонов с имуществом и подготовленный к взрыву мост через реку Каму), за боевые отличия получил именное шефство генерала А. Н. Пепеляева. Через две недели батальон прикрывал отступление дивизии после контрнаступления РККА с целью вернуть Пермь. 14 января в засаде у деревни Сергино штурмовики нанесли поражение Лесновско-Выборгскому полку и 256-му полку, потерявшему 560 человек из 940. Ударная группировка белогвардейцев в составе штурмовиков, 8-го Бийского и 11-го оренбургского казачьего полков под общим командованием Урбанковского продолжила наступление в направлении Оханск, Кунгур.

В батальоне насчитывалось до 1000 штыков при 17 пулемётах. Штурмовики часто применяли обходные манёвры с целью атаковать противника в уязвимые фланги. Если атаки не удавались, штурмовики перестраивались и вновь шли в атаку.

После постоянных боев в январе в строю батальона осталось 97 штыков.

1 февраля 1919 года за проявленный героизм приказом № 38 генерала Пепеляева батальон награждён 100 Георгиевскими крестами «за честную и беспримерную самоотверженную боевую работу на благо Родины нашей» (то есть награждены были все штурмовики, оставшиеся в строю) и 9 февраля приказом по армии был развернут в бригаду до 3 тысяч штыков:

 1-й, 2-й, 3-й Сибирские штурмовые батальоны,
 1-й Сибирский штурмовой артиллерийский дивизион,
 1-й Сибирский штурмовой кавалерийский дивизион (полк),
 1-й Сибирский штурмовой инженерный дивизион.
Штурмовики-добровольцы кроме стандартной присяги Русской армии подписывали торжественное обязательство: соблюдать военные законы, поддерживать авторитет начальников, не состоять в политических партиях, в боевых действиях не щадить жизни и, если надо, принести её в жертву за Россию.

14 февраля штурмовики с боями вышли к р. Кама.

Бригада участвовала в контрнаступлении войск Сибирской армии в марте 1919 года. 11 марта во встречных боях у станции Дворецкая погиб командир бригады капитан Урбанковский, посмертно получивший звание подполковника.

На 28 апреля 1919 года бригада была пополнена добровольцами, партизанским отрядом Постоногова и мобилизованными и должна была иметь в составе:

 Штаб бригады и управление
 1-й Отдельный штурмовой батальон имени Полковника Урбанковского.
 2-й, 3-й, 4-й Отдельные штурмовые батальоны
 1-й Сибирский штурмовой кавалерийский дивизион в 2 эскадрона
 1-й Сибирский Штурмовой инженерный дивизион (сапёрная рота и телефонное отделение)
 1-й Сибирский Штурмовой артиллерийский дивизион (2 батареи по 4 3-дм орудия и батарея из 2 3-дм горных орудия)

 Комендантская рота, Автокоманда, Подвижной лазарет.

Бригада продолжила бои в составе корпуса, сражаясь на Вятском направлении. Во время Сарапуло-Воткинского наступления РККА штурмовики нанесли контрудары и, продвинувшись на 40 км, создали угрозу захвата города Глазова. В дальнейшем бригада вела арьергардные бои, прикрывая отступление корпуса в Сибирь (за Пермь штурмовики сражались почти неделю, потеряв около 600 человек), участвовала в Тобольской операции. 16 декабря в Томске гренадерский батальон бригады перешел на сторону Военно-революционного комитета.

Бригада участвовала в Великом Сибирском Ледяном походе с отступающими белогвардейскими частями в Сибири. Дошла до Красноярска. Последнее упоминание о бригаде встречается в начале 1920 года: 6 января (н.ст.) красные части встретили противника, обходящего Красноярск на восток, и четыре часа вели жестокие встречные бои у села Дрокино, нанеся белым тяжёлое поражение. По показаниям пленных, в бою принимала участие в том числе 1-я Сибирская штурмовая бригада.

Штурмовики всегда использовали тактику быстрых атак — без артиллерийской подготовки, быстрое сближение с противником, дружный штыковой удар. Их противнику комдиву Блюхеру приписывают слова, что штурмовики сражались всегда исключительно отчаянно, никогда не ложились, наступали и опрокидывали красные части. Это объясняется наличием в бригаде большого количества офицеров и добровольцев. В то же время штурмовики были излишне жестоки и почти никогда не брали пленных, зачастую закалывая их штыками.

Униформа бригады
Штурмовая бригада была широко известна в то время по всей Сибири, и её слава равнялась славе Корниловского ударного полка — благодаря многократно проявленным героизму и мужеству солдат и офицеров. Знаки отличия бригады — чёрно-красный ударный шеврон и чёрные погоны. Сочетание чёрно-белых цветов в униформе являлось продолжением традиций ударных частей Российской армии, установившихся ещё в 1917 году.

Часть штурмовиков носила на правом рукаве «ударный» шеврон образца 1917 года, что разрешалось в Сибирской армии приказом № 22 от 5 августа — «… ударные части и батальоны смерти … до последних дней своего существования боролись с большевиками, а потому офицерам и солдатам, служившим в этих частях и в настоящее время находящимся в рядах армии Временного Сибирского правительства, разрешаю носить присвоенный ударным частям нарукавный знак».

Как вспоминал красноармеец, заключенный под стражу белогвардейцами — «За мной пришли два вооружённых солдата в серых папахах с кокардами, в английских шинелях, с чёрными погонами. На рукавах вышиты череп и кости».

Знамёна батальонов были освящены и торжественно вручены частям в Перми в феврале-марте 1919 года. Знамёна батальонов были с черными полотнищами, с белыми кантами и бахромой. На сохранившемся знамени 3-го батальона на лицевой стороне полотнища — надпись «3-й Бат. 1-й Сиб. Шт. Бр», ударный шеврон и вензель «П» (Пепеляев) по углам полотнища. На оборотной стороне изображена «мёртвая голова» — как символ смерти и воскресения.

На представленной фотографии — генерал Пепеляев с офицерами-штурмовиками в освобождённой Перми. На многих — так называемые «венгерки» и пилотки, совершенно не встречающиеся в то время в пехотных частях русской армии. По левую руку от генерала сидит сам командир батальона капитан Урбанковский.

Командиры бригады
 полковник Урбанковский Евгений Иосифович (23.03.1896 — погиб 11.03.1919)

 полковник Соколов Петр Николаевич с 12.03.1919 (1897(?) — погиб 11.09.1919)

 полковник Никитин

Память
В подшивках провинциальных газет сохранилось стихотворение, посвящённое штурмовикам (с подзаголовком «Посвящается памяти полковника Урбанковского»):Чёрные погоны с кантом белоснежным,
Угол чёрно-красный — символ боевой.
В бой порыв, не ветер с дуновеньем нежным, —
А подобен вихрю тучи грозовой.

Шапочка залётка, смелость, ясность взгляда.
Мёртвый череп — клятва, биться до конца.
Не бояся пули, не страшась снаряда,
За святое дело с верою в Творца.

Дисциплина, спайка — признак возрожденья,
Воинской отвагой дышит юный лик,
Это грозный вестник «красного» паденья.
Это сын Сибири. Это штурмовик.

Другие штурмовые части
В войсках адмирала Колчака так же стоит отметить 3-ю Сибирскую штурмовую бригаду при 3-м Степном Сибирском корпусе (в составе 2 штурмовых полков и штурмового артиллерийского дивизиона, погибла в боях под Омском), Сибирскую кавалерийскую штурмовую бригаду и Ударный «Бессмертный» батальон Ижевцев.

В феврале-марте 1919 года в Сибирской армии были сформированы 1-я и 2-я Отдельные Сибирские ударные бригады, в составе каждой — 3 ударных батальона, 1 пулемётный полк, кавалерийский эскадрон и артдивизион из 3 батарей. 26 апреля эти бригады были развёрнуты в ударные дивизии и объединены в Сибирский ударный корпус.

Комментарии
3. Происхождение «зелёных гренадер» — 1-й Сибирский гренадерский батальон — так окончательно и не установлено. По одной из версий их сформировали на основе перешедшей на сторону белых Гренадерской роты 1-го Советского полка 3-й армии РККА. По другой — сформировали на основе комендантской роты штаба армии. Первоначально гренадерский батальон числился «при» штурмовой бригаде.

[Viewpoint] Do something about Syria
The ongoing Syrian civil war has resulted in more than 21,000 deaths since March 2011. Many Syrians feel frustrated as they are working to realize democratization but the international community has not provided the kind of support it did for Libya.
At the time of the Libyan crisis, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1973, which designated a no-fly zone and mobilized all necessary means to protect civilians. Western countries, including NATO members, intervened militarily and helped topple Muammar el-Qaddafi's regime.
In the resolution, the concept of "protection of civilian population," which was adopted unanimously by 191 members in the 60th General Assembly in September 2005, was applied for the first time. It allows the international community to get involved when a government of a certain country commits genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.
It is notable that when the UN Security Council passed Resolution 1973 and NATO began airstrikes the next day that the actual death toll was a few hundred. At present, more than 20 times that number of deaths have been accounted for, and more casualties are expected. However, the international community is virtually ignoring it.
Western countries point out that China and Russia are the biggest obstacles for any international intervention in the Syrian crisis. Of course, the two countries have vetoed the UN resolution a number of times since last year. Russia's only naval base in the Middle East is located in Tartus, Syria. Russia exports more than $4 billion worth of weapons and invests over $1.5 billion in Syria. Russia and China refuse to give up their interests in Syria, which is one of the only two political and military allies in the Middle East along with Iran.
However, the Western world, in fact, does not have much interest in Syria, with its oil reserves a mere 5 percent of Libya's. Therefore, it is reluctant to intervene or take military action against President Bashar al-Assad.
Western countries are just sitting with their arms crossed partly because of Israel's security. The regime change of Syria is a double-edged sword. The authoritarian regime may be replaced by a liberal and democratic government. But then, friction may arise in its relationship with Israel, just as the Islamists have seized power after President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt was ousted.
Israel occupies the Golan Heights in southern Syria. If a new government is formed through a liberal and fair election, it is likely to demand restitution of the Golan Heights as defined in UN Security Council Resolution 242 from 1967 and Resolution 338 from 1973. Israel does not want that to happen, and the situation would be difficult for the entire international community.
The United States is not likely to intervene in a foreign crisis because of the presidential election in November. The alliance between Syria and Iran, which is in confrontation with the West, also makes it possible for the al-Assad regime to resort to brinkmanship.
So, conflict of interests in the international community and the complicated Middle Eastern order surrounding Israel and Iran delay resolution of the Syrian crisis.
And the cost has to be paid by Syrian civilians, including women and children. The Egyptian and Tunisian militaries remained neutral in their countries' revolutions, and the armed forces were divided in Libya and Yemen. However, the Syrian military's support for the government helps the crisis continue. It is hard to expect an internal resolution without external intervention.
The international community's aggressive intervention is needed to end the bloodbath in Syria. There is no other way to stop the al-Assad regime's mass killings. It does not have to be a military strike, but the international community needs to take action to stop the disaster and save Syria.

LightWare Introduces Obstacle-Detecting Laser Rangefinder For UAVs
LightWare Optoelectronics has launched the SF30/B obstacle detecting light weight laser rangefinder, designed for use in unmanned vehicles.
The SF30/B features a maximum update rate of 36633 readings per second and has a range of 50m in all lighting conditions. It includes both a serial port and analog outputs along with a micro USB port for configuration.
The update rate, resolution and baud rates can all be set to suit most types of aerial and ground based applications.
The SF30/B is designed to operate either stand-alone as a conventional LRF or as part of a scanning LIDAR system to create two-dimensional or three-dimensional maps.
The very fast update rate of the SF30/B makes it suitable for locating potential hazards along the flight path of a UAV and the 50m range gives the flight controller plenty of time to take evasive action.
Additional products in the SF30 family include the SF30/C with a range of 100m for use in larger UAVs, helicopters and light aircraft. LightWare also manufactures the SF10 range of precision AGL altimeters.

Q: performance comparison stringr--str_replace_all Just wondering if there will be performance differences in running str_replace_all.
For example:
text <- c("a","b", "c")
str_replace_all(text, c("a", "b", "c"), c("d", "e", "f"))

and
str_replace_all(text, "a", "d")
str_replace_all(text, "b", "e")
str_replace_all(text, "c", "f")

Both get me the same result but I was wondering what would be faster if I was doing the same procedure for close to 200,000 documents and if each document file was longer?

A: It is evident you will have better performance with a single str_replace_all call since you do not have to change text value. See, when you need to call str_replace_all to change the text value, you need to re-assign the value each time you replace and that means additional overhead.
Here is a test with 3 functions: f1 uses the first approach, f2 uses the second and f3 is just a "chained" version of f2:
> library(microbenchmark)
> text <- c("a", "b", "c")

> f1 <- function(text) { text=str_replace_all(text, "a", "d"); text = str_replace_all(text, "b", "e"); text=str_replace_all(text, "c", "f"); return(text) }
> f1(text)
[1] "d" "e" "f"
> f2 <- function(text) { return(str_replace_all(text, c("a", "b", "c"), c("d", "e", "f"))) }
> f2(text)
[1] "d" "e" "f"
> f3 <- function(text) { return(str_replace_all(str_replace_all(str_replace_all(text, "c", "f"), "b", "e"), "a", "d")) }
> f3(text)
[1] "d" "e" "f"
> test <- microbenchmark( f1(text), f2(text), f3(text), times = 50000 )
> test
Unit: microseconds
     expr     min      lq     mean  median      uq      max neval
 f1(text) 225.788 233.335 257.2998 239.673 262.313 25071.76 50000
 f2(text) 182.321 187.755 207.1858 191.980 210.393 24844.76 50000
 f3(text) 224.581 231.825 255.2167 237.863 259.898 24531.74 50000

With times = 50000, the functions were run 50,000 times and the median value, being the lowest with f2, together with lower quartile (lq) and upper quartile (uq) values,  proves that a single str_replace_all is the fastest. autoplot(test) (from ggplot2 library) shows:

And finally, it is best to use stri_replace_all_fixed from stringi package if you need to only replace literal strings. Then, here is the benchmark:
> library(stringi)
> f1 <- function(text) { text=stri_replace_all_fixed(text, "a", "d"); text = stri_replace_all_fixed(text, "b", "e"); text=stri_replace_all_fixed(text, "c", "f"); return(text) }
> f2 <- function(text) { return(stri_replace_all_fixed(text, c("a", "b", "c"), c("d", "e", "f"))) }
> f3 <- function(text) { return(stri_replace_all_fixed(stri_replace_all_fixed(stri_replace_all_fixed(text, "c", "f"), "b", "e"), "a", "d")) }
> test <- microbenchmark( f1(text), f2(text), f3(text), times = 50000 )
> test
Unit: microseconds
     expr   min    lq     mean median    uq       max neval cld
 f1(text) 7.547 7.849 9.197490  8.151 8.453  1008.800 50000   b
 f2(text) 3.321 3.623 4.420453  3.925 3.925  2053.821 50000  a

Little fingers that just couldn't resist touching.
Tiny embroidered pincushions that should have been finished in time for Christmas.
Yet to be named but needs a good strong German name as that's where he hails from. At least I think he's a he.Why is he wrapped in tulle?
Skull is going to be part of my embroidery workshop project. Or perhaps all of it depending on how long he takes me to finish.
This is skull after the workshop yesterday. So far so good - but I have yet to tackle the bottom half of his head. I also think he needs a bit of dental work- gold or silver tooth? Or would a big fat diamond be just a little too much?
I am celebrating my second Mother's Day this year ( I joined in the UK celebrations too).For the first time in about 20 years, I was able to make my own mum a cup of tea on Mother's day and take it to her in bed. Quite a novelty for both of us.
To all of the mothers, motherly types and to anyone who has ever stepped up to the plate and filled the role of a mother - enjoy your day!
You are special, you are needed and most of all you are loved!
The little boy for whom this is being made has arrived safe and sound, half a world away.
Welcome to the world Billy, and happy Mother's Day CJ!
The project is progressing well except that I have run out of blue thread.
The online store that I ordered it from is waiting for more stock as well....I will have to be patient or try to find another place to buy the same shade thread.
Last but not least- a birthday portrait of me taken by Charlotte.
This was one of the years that my birthday coincided with Mother's Day - we celebrated with a yum cha feast (dim sum here) in London's Chinatown and a tour of London for my Mum. Loads of fun finished of with cheesecake and a glass of champagne.
I have always been tempted by the beautiful vintage French linens on offer on EBay- however the cost of shipping to Australia meant that I only ever window shopped.
When I saw this piece of linen and cotton ticking up for offer I just couldn't resist it- and shipping to the UK is not quite so scary.
Perfect for making a present for a new baby due to arrive next week - heavy and textured, yet with a lovely soft handle.
I've had the fabric for a while and a vague idea of what I wanted to do with it.
At last I have cut into the fabric and started to stitch. I'm still not quite sure where it is headed but I am enjoying watching the design slowly appear stitch by stitch.
Unplanned yet thoughtful;patterns taking shape under my fingers almost without me having to think about it.
Not the way I usually work at all.
Tab curtains are very tedious to make and not very inspiring or exciting to photograph. Longer days have highlighted the pressing need for curtains to block out the light in the front bedrooms.The past week has been spent cutting, sewing and hanging. My pincushion and most of my pins went missing in the move and as I found that eight pins were just not quite enough when making curtains, new pins and a new pincushion were called for.
Which is why you see a photo of a pincushion rather than boring old tab curtains.
Much quicker and more fun to make, as well as a good excuse for a bit of therapeutic embroidery after stitching all those tabs.
A big thank you to everyone who has sent mail to Charlotte - such a big smile to greet the postman each day! Your postcards have been sent (or about to be posted - I am a little behind on the mail) so be sure to let me know if you didn't get yours and should have!
Ali looked beautiful and despite the rain and heavy skies, it was a truly memorable day.
My friend Michele did a magnificent job with all of the flowers.The bridal bouquet of roses and peonies was a perfect match with the dress - soft and frilly.
The girls wore crowns of camelia leaves and Geraldton wax flowers(Chamelaucium).
This photo was taken after we had all been rained on so no perfect hairdo's here!
(If only someone had moved that stray leaf....).
Now it's onto to the job of packing- removalists are arriving first thing Monday morning...but first some sleep.
The Horror is almost completed. There is still quite a bit of hand sewing to do but the hardest part is done.
Well, I would sleep very well if Gracie didn't insist on a bit of room service in the very early hours of the morning! However with the big move looming, there is no point trying to change her sleeping and eating habits at the moment. Time enough for that after we are settled in our new home.
And with big brown eyes like that...well, she's pretty much got her mama (and everyone else in our family) wrapped around her chubby little fingers.
A quick and easy guessing game.
What do chiffon, ruffles and tiny crystal beads have in common?
If you said a wedding dress, you are absolutely correct.
Now, you might be wondering what a wedding dress and our big move to the UK in a little more than five weeks have in common.
And before anyone offers me well meant,supportive advice suggesting it might be time for me to learn to say 'No' in a big firm voice, be aware that it is my one and only little sister that is the bride to be.
It is an honour and a pleasure to be able to make such a special dress for her. Perhaps not the most ideal time, but it would never have occurred to me not to offer to make it.
She's my sister. End of discussion.
Bearing that it mind, I have still affectionately named the dress, 'The Horror'.
Not because it is ugly( it's actually very beautiful and romantic) but because it involves my arch nemesis, Silk Chiffon.
A word to all brides out there who have the good fortune to have a mother, sister, aunt or friend of a friend who will help you out with your Dress for the Big Day - do consider a lovely stable fabric such as velvet or duchess silk. Calico,perhaps.
The Horror is all cut out and waiting to be sewn up. All going well, I hope to have the dress ready for hand sewing of the tiny crystal beads, by this time next weekend.
I am very happy that she is getting married ,that we will be here for the wedding and that the girls will have the fun of being flower girls.

A spirit-filled start for Abilene's universities
Loretta Fulton
A parade of flags, a booming concert band, two acoustic guitars, a praise band, a big white awning, scripture readings, prayers, mini-sermons.
It was a typical opening this week for chapel services at Abilene's three church-affiliated universities — Abilene Christian, Church of Christ; Hardin-Simmons, Baptist; and McMurry, United Methodist.
At all three campuses, the spiritual life kicked into high gear, along with academics, sports, social activities and all the things that go into making the college experience what it is.
Each service offered something a little different in style, but the substance was the same. Jessica Smith, an associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at ACU, offered a prayer that could easily have been repeated on other college campuses.
"We ask that our new beginning here today will remind us that you are making everything new," Smith said.
At one time, students at all three universities were required to attend chapel services, but things have changed over the years. At McMurry, students are not required to attend a weekly chapel service or any other spiritual formation events.
Hardin-Simmons and ACU students technically aren't required to attend chapel — in the old-school sense of the word — either, but they do have requirements.
ACU undergraduate students under the age of 25 must accumulate 55 spiritual formation credits per semester, but those credits can be obtained by volunteering with nonprofits in town, attending certain fine arts events, and in a number of other ways.
An easy way to obtain at least some of the credits is by attending one of the daily chapels held on campus. A campus-wide chapel is held Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Moody Coliseum. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, small groups meet in various locations on campus, said David Moses, director of both leadership camps and daily operations of chapel.
Chapel attendance used to be the only option, Moses said, but the policy changed to reflect the times. The university wants students to honor God, Moses said, but that can be accomplished in ways other than traditional chapel attendance. So a decision was made in 2015 to switch to a spiritual formation format that is more inclusive.
"Let's come alongside our students in whatever they're involved in," was the thinking behind the switch, Moses said.
An app called "Quest" was developed to make it easy for students to find and register for qualifying events and service opportunities.
At HSU, students must accumulate 80 credits by the time they graduate, said Travis Craver, director of chapel and spiritual formation.
Though McMurry students aren't required to attend the weekly chapel service, many do. In fact, the service was moved last year from the small chapel in the student center to the larger Mabee Room to accommodate more students and a praise band.
McMurry students also volunteer for service opportunities and participate in mission trips, as do students at HSU and ACU.
At the opening services, students, faculty and staff all got into the spirit of a new school year and a new year of spiritual formation.
McMurry students were greeted by a new chaplain, Marty CashBurless, a 1978 McMurry graduate who spent the past 26 years as chaplain at The University of Mount Union in Alliance, Ohio.
"My job is to pray for you," CashBurless said, "and I do, every day."
An avowed dictionary addict, CashBurless urged the students to consider the word "doxology" through the lens of three meanings — wonder, awareness and gratitude — in addition to its traditional definition of "praise" and "glory."
At Hardin-Simmons, Craver assured the students that they "don't have to have it all together" to serve God. The Bible is filled with examples, he said, of people who didn't have it all together.
Following Jesus is about more than doctrine, he said, it's about discipleship.
"God can use you," Craver assured. "You don't have to be perfect."
All three university services included prayers and expressions of concern for victims of the flooding along the Texas coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.
Monday's opening ceremony at ACU took on an especially somber tone as officials prayed for loved ones of people with ties to the university who died the past year, in addition to hurricane victims.
On Aug. 25, ACU junior Celina Rochelle Schuetz, 20, of McKinney, and her mother, Catherine E. Schuetz, of Plano were killed in a car wreck on Interstate 20 near Sweetwater.
In opening remarks at ACU's ceremony, Provost Robert Rhodes offered a prayer that captured the spirit of the event. It was joyous, with its colorful parade of 138 flags from the various states and nations represented at the university and spirited music from ACU's Big Purple Band.
But it was somber, too, with the remembrance of those who had died and the hurricane victims.
"We praise you for your provision," Rhodes said, "in good times and difficult times."

Q: How can I conditionally set a property for OpenCV dylib files with CMake? I'm trying to have standard OpenCV installed at the same time as a custom version in a different directory under OS X. In doing so, I found that the OpenCV CMake causes linking to fail when the libraries are installed to a non-standard path (i.e. other than /usr/local). I was able to fix this by adding a line to OpenCVModule.cmake:
set_target_properties(${the_module} PROPERTIES
    OUTPUT_NAME "${the_module}${OPENCV_DLLVERSION}"
    DEBUG_POSTFIX "${OPENCV_DEBUG_POSTFIX}"
    COMPILE_PDB_NAME "${the_module}${OPENCV_DLLVERSION}"
    COMPILE_PDB_NAME_DEBUG "${the_module}${OPENCV_DLLVERSION}${OPENCV_DEBUG_POSTFIX}"
    ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}
    COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}
    LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}
    RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
    INSTALL_NAME_DIR ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib ## <--- Added this line
  )

I'm trying to contribute this change back to the OpenCV project. But in the case where CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is set to "/usr/local" INSTALL_NAME_DIR should not be set. I've tried adding an if statement:
set_target_properties(${the_module} PROPERTIES
    OUTPUT_NAME "${the_module}${OPENCV_DLLVERSION}"
    DEBUG_POSTFIX "${OPENCV_DEBUG_POSTFIX}"
    COMPILE_PDB_NAME "${the_module}${OPENCV_DLLVERSION}"
    COMPILE_PDB_NAME_DEBUG "${the_module}${OPENCV_DLLVERSION}${OPENCV_DEBUG_POSTFIX}"
    ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}
    COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}
    LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH}
    RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}
    if(NOT ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX} STREQUAL "/usr/local") ## <--- this always evaluates to FALSE
        INSTALL_NAME_DIR ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib
    endif()
  )

I haven't found any syntax that will cause the if statement to evaluate to true. Is there a way to get CMake to conditionally set INSTALL_NAME_DIR based on the contents of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX?

A: CMake commands cannot be nested: there is just no syntax for that. But you may execute any command under "if" branch:
if(NOT CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX STREQUAL "/usr/local")
    set_target_properties(${the_module} PROPERTIES
        INSTALL_NAME_DIR ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib
    )
endif()

Note also, that preferred way for compare variable's value in "if" clause is to use variable's name, instead of dereferencing it. CMake will determine that variable with this name exists and automatically dereference it. This behaviour is described in documentation for "if" command.

Kulometná pistole vz. 38 je dobový název pro samopal vytvořený pro československou armádu před druhou světovou válkou. Termín samopal se začal používat až po druhé světové válce.

Vývoj
Zbraň zkonstruoval František Myška z České zbrojovky Strakonice na popud Vojenského technického a leteckého ústavu z března 1935. Ačkoli armáda měla již v minulosti možnost zkoušet různé samopaly, nerozhodla se zavést tento typ zbraně do výzbroje. Hlavní překážkou byl jednak převládající názor ve vedení armády, kde měli za to, že vojáci vyzbrojení samopalem budou zbytečně plýtvat municí, dalším důvodem byl údajně nízký výkon pistolového náboje. V prosinci 1937 proběhlo několik armádních zkoušek vývojových verzí předložených zbrojovkou Strakonice. Začátkem roku 1938, projevilo Ředitelství opevňovacích prací zájem o tyto zbraně pro opevnění.

Zbraň měla být pravděpodobně použita i v těžkém opevnění ve střílně na obranu vchodu, ale hlavně v lehkých objektech vz. 37 v členitém terénu které od sebe nebyly vzdáleny více než 100 metrů. Při střelbě na takto krátké vzdálenosti bylo využití lehkého kulometu neekonomické, navíc se s podstatně menším samopalem ve střílně lépe manipuluje a má větší kapacitu zásobníku. O novou zbraň projevilo zájem i jezdectvo a dělostřelectvo, z rozpočtových důvodů ale nemohly zbraně objednat. Kulometná pistole měla nízkou výrobní cenu, která činila 560 Kč. To znamená, že za cenu jednoho lehkého kulometu vz. 26 se daly pořídit čtyři samopaly.

Konstrukce
Zbraň má jednoduchý dynamický závěr. Hlaveň je upevněna v pouzdře závěru převlečnou maticí. Zbraň mohla střílet pouze dávkou a byla vybavena pojistkou. K zbrani se měl dodávat nástavec na odpad nábojnic, který osměřoval vystřelené nábojnice směrem dolů a doprava. Pro uchycení KP 38 do lafety vz. 38 v lehkém opevnění se měla zbraň přichytit pomocí předního lůžka, které se upevňovalo na zbraní těsně za muškou do vyfrézovaných drážek na hlavni a zadního lůžka, které se instalovalo mezi zásobník a pažbu.

BP Wind Energy plan to expand wind farm near Grover
The first phase of the Cedar Creek wind energy project, about eight miles east of Grover, began full commercial operation in January 2008, according to BP Wind Energy. It generates 300.5 megawatts of wind power, enough to provide electricity for 90,000 homes, from 273 wind turbines.
The power produced from that portion of the Cedar Creek wind farm is sold to the Public Service Co. of Colorado, a subsidiary of Xcel Energy Inc., and is transferred via a 56-mile electrical line to a substation near Keenesburg.
David Gonzalez, director of business development-wind power for BP Wind Energy, said the expansion will feature 123-127 additional wind turbines with a generating capacity of up to 300 megawatts. The expansion also must be approved by the Weld County commissioners.
Tom Holton, chairman of the planning commission, was not happy with some of the changes made to the application — filed with planning staff about a week ago. He threatened to delay a vote on the request. But company officials and planning staff spent about half an hour going over the changes before coming back to the commission, which then voted unanimously for approval.
A lot of those changes dealt with traffic and road maintenance during construction and water that would be trucked in during construction. Gonzalez said the expansion represents a $300 million investment in the county.
The second phase is planned on about 30,000 acres east of the first phase, or north of New Raymer and Stoneham. Gonzalez said BP Wind Energy would like to start construction this summer and it will take about a year to complete. About 250 workers will be needed for the construction with 12-14 permanent employees once operational.
Mark Lawley, vice chairman of the commission, asked Gonzalez if the wind turbines would be purchased from the Vestas manufacturing plant in Windsor.
"We would utilize an existing agreement we have in place (with another manufacturer), but it's possible that if construction is delayed we could purchase some from Vestas," Gonzalez said.

Die Decauville-Bahn Sarigol-Snevci () war um 1916 eine Militär-Feldbahn im Bezirk Kilkis der Region Zentralmakedonien von Griechenland.

Geschichte

Die etwa 25 km lange Decauville-Bahn wurde 1916 vom französischen Militär gebaut.

Sie diente dazu, alliierte Streitkräfte im Bereich des Kroussia-Gebirges mit Baumaterial, Waffen, Munition und Nachschub zu versorgen und in der Gegenrichtung verwundete Soldaten von der Front in die Lazarette zu bringen.

Die britische Armee übernahm die Strecke im November 1916 von den Franzosen und befestigte sie bis Ende Oktober 1917 mit schwereren Schienen mit einem Metergewicht von 16,5 kg/m (33 Pfund/Yard).

Streckenverlauf
Die Strecke begann am Bahnhof Sarigol, an einem Bahnhof der Regelspurbahn, an dem die zu transportierenden Güter umgeladen werden mussten. Eine etwa 10 km lange Zweigstrecke bog nach Korkutovo ab. Vom 24. September 1917 bis 1. Februar 1918 wurde außerdem eine zweite, etwa 11 km lange, Zweigstrecke errichtet, die in Gramatna nach Rajanovo abbog.

Astros, Bregman Hammer Twins 9-1 | KFAN 100.3 FM
ASTROS 9, TWINS 1
HOUSTON (AP) - Alex Bregman homered and had five RBIs, and Evan Gattis hit his 25th home run to help Houston rout Minnesota.
The defending champs have won five straight, finishing a 10-game homestand with a 7-3 record. Houston has won 12 of its last 15 games entering a three-game series in major league-leading Boston.
Bregman gave the Astros a 2-0 lead in the third inning with his 29th homer of the season, a line-drive shot off Jake Odorizzi into the left-field Crawford Boxes. He added a three-run double off the left-field wall with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, his 47th double, to put Houston up 9-1.
Gattis extended Houston's lead to 4-0 with a two-run homer in the fourth inning off Odorizzi.
Houston went up 5-1 with an RBI single to right from Yuli Gurriel off Odorizzi (5-10).
Houston starter Framber Valdez (3-1) went 5 1/3 innings, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out five.


Ellison 'determined' to acquire PeopleSoft: According to Larry, it's not over yet.
"Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison repeated on Tuesday his determination to acquire rival PeopleSoft, but was cagey about whether he would raise the offer price of his hostile takeover bid.
He keeps extending the time limit on the offer (like, three times now). I think he just needs to raise the bid. He only has about 10% of the shares tendered.
