As pet lovers, we know it is just not a vacation if we do not bring the family's four-legged member! Vacations are regarding enjoying time together, relaxing, and also de-stressing. Choosing the right hotel as well as accommodation that enables pets will make as well as break the vacation along with your dog as well as acat. Not all pet welcoming hotels and accommodations are created anequivalent. Did you know that an array of accommodations offer the pets the similar amenities which we get? Hotels are acquainted with how significant our dogs and also cats are to us. Consequently, they are contributing an array of dissimilar pet services and also amenities to make the furry ones feel right at home at what time they travel. With a lot and more pet parents refusing to travel with no their pets, it just makes sense for hotels and also other accommodations to begin catering to the complete family.
Pack the dog's food and also water tray, bedding, litter box and also leashes. It is forever great to go prepared.
Keep a small bag of medicines, 1st aid kit and also the dog's medical history book.
Consult the veterinarian previous to setting out on the road. It's significant to have the pet checked to make sure your pet is in good health to travel.
Carry a pet crate, as well as kennel just in case the hotel, would request the pet to be kenneled at what time left inside the room. Kennels are secure ways to travel the pet around in also.
A lot of hotels, motels, resorts, and also other accommodations need to be done the homework. They realize which more and also a lot of families are traveling along with their 4 legged friends. So they've chosen to open the doors to pet visitors. By becoming a pet-friendly hotel, motel, bed and also breakfast (or another lodging), they're broadening the market to comprise a big group of extremely loyal customers.
Unluckily, not all accommodations have jumped on the pet-friendlybandwagon…so anywhere do you discover hotels which allow dogs, cats and also other pets? The best place to discover pet-friendly accommodations is on the internet. There are sites that specialize in just accommodations which allow pets.
Some pet hotels will need that you stay the animal in a cage in the room, and also most dog welcoming hotels insist which your canine is kept on a leash at all times when it is exterior of the room. Most individuals consider their pet as part of the relations, so their pet goes along with them on vacation. The thought of the beloved pet cooped up while they are on holiday is just deep.
Besides the refundable pet fee, a number of pet-friendly places might mention that they just allow "Well-behaved" pets, consequently teach the pet a few lessons in etiquette before you make a decision to take it on holiday. The luxury hotels such as the Ritz Carlton and also Onyx will treat the pet like a king. Your pet will be groomed and also pampered only like you will be. Consequently, go ahead and also enjoy a beautiful vacation along with your family pet.

New Year 2019 Flyby – Ultima Thule! 24 comments
New Horizons – Ultima Thule Flyby! Making history in New Year 2019!
New Horizons (NASA's spacecraft) historic $700 million mission to Pluto launched in January 2006 and arriving on July 14, 2015. It was the first ever flyby of a probe past Pluto and it did so from approximately 7,800 miles (12,550 km) away.
The Ultima Thule flyby is a continuation of this mission and will take New Horizons into new territory far beyond Pluto at the solar system's edge, to an area of icy worlds in space, further out than the orbit of Neptune, (1 billion miles (1.6 billion kilometres on) in a region known as the Kuiper Belt.
On New Year's Day at 12:33 a.m. EST (0533 GMT) hopefully, New Horizons will flyby Ultima Thule (2014 MU69) at under 2,200 miles (3,500 km) away. At this point it will be 4 billion miles+ (6.4 billion km+) away from Earth.
Ultima Thule is, in point of fact, an enigmatic solar system body that scientists know almost nothing about. It is about 23-mile-wide (37 km) and currently it may or may not be just a single body. Alternatively, it is possible that it is made up of two objects that are in fact in orbit around one another.
NASA has given us the opportunity to send a message to Ultima Thule. Six choices were offered and Icewolf has chosen "Go New Horizons, Go NASA!" And we even get a certificate! Cosmic way to start the New Year 2019!!
"Travelling at light speed, the signals carrying these messages will reach the spacecraft about six hours after being beamed from the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (in Laurel, Maryland, which manages the New Horizons mission for NASA), largest dish antenna, on the very same day that New Horizons flies by Ultima Thule! How cool is that?" – New Horizons principal investigator Alan Stern, of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

3-D Dinner is Served! 54 comments
Extreme Dinner is Served!
How do we grow food in space?!! This is one of our most prevalent challenges, although it may well become an even bigger one here on Earth if we cannot figure out how to grow enough on the home world to feed our ever-expanding population!
Launching supplies into space is, of course, costly. So the ultimate aim for any long-duration interplanetary trip or long-term human presence on the surface of Mars would be to develop sustainable food cultivation techniques.
Extreme Gardening on Mars
Future Gardening on Mars may yet become a reality with the European Research Project MELiSSA on track to grow vegetables on the Red Planet. MELiSSA is an ESA project which "strongly promotes the implementation of space research based innovations on Earth via Industry." Initially vegetables will be grown from seeds in a closed Earth system, later progressing to growing on the Moon. The first Martian vegetables will be grown in a Mars-bound spacecraft and if all goes to plan the ultimate planting and growing on Mars will follow.
Nurturing vegetation and growing crops in such a hostile environment as space is fraught with difficulties and would involve a high degree of human ingenuity and new science. It would also require an intense and complex support system in order to succeed. In particular there is also the question of drinking water production, nutrients and crop cultivation techniques which will also require research.
If this plan does succeed, the new technologies and science necessary to achieve it could also be put to good use back on Earth, to develop land around the world which is not at this time suitable for food cultivation. This could provide a much needed lifeline to those countries where many of their citizens are starving, and also be of overall benefit in feeding our ever expanding population in general.
"Also companies on Earth can benefit from the space research. For instance, new energy efficient light systems can be developed and commercialized for growing plants in green houses." ~ Prof. Benedikt Sas from the Centre of Excellence Food2Know.
China to Grow Mars Veg'
State media in China have reported Chinese astronauts are preparing to grow fresh vegetables on the Moon and Mars. A successful test held in Beijing was conducted and completed for research purposes, consisting of four different vegetable types. Growing in an "ecological life support system" which relies on plants and algae this environment would create an opportunity for fresh, home-grown vegetables to be harvested for healthy, nutritious meals.
"Chinese astronauts may get fresh vegetables and oxygen supplies by gardening in extra-terrestrial bases in the future," ~ Deng Yibing, a researcher at Beijing's Chinese Astronaut Research and Training Centre quoted by Xinhua news agency.
3-D Printing of food
One potential solution to these issues could be 21st century open-source technology in the form of 3-D printers. Already being used in industry and the arts, 3-D printing looks set to become 'one of the defining technologies in human space travel and colonization.'
So! If you are one of those angry American citizens raging furiously against the changes to your gun laws and the shortage of aforementioned item and plentiful supplies of ammo' or possibly even a really determined, hard core survivalist then this 3-D printer maybe the revolutionary solution you have been feverishly searching for…just print a nice, shiny new gun and you're right there in business to exercise your right to bear arms!
But how could the growth of a replenishable source of 'Martian mushrooms and cosmic cucumbers' – a healthy stock of crisp, garden-fresh veggies being a vital ingredient in ensuring colonies are in good physical shape – viably be achieved?
A 3-D printer controlled by software recipes, such as the one being developed by researchers at Cornell University, could be the answer to your unappeasable appetite for a nourishing snack.
Space Pizza!
It's not quite a vegetable but it is the perfect choice for the first printed to order 3-D printed food; at your heady request it can print off a lovely big space pizza to satisfy even the largest of man-sized appetites!
It would be created by printing the first layer –dough for the pizza base, which will speedily bake on the hot plate it would be deposited on. This would be topped with a combo-layer of powdered tomato puree and oil then yet a further layer – of protein and ideally a blend of all nutrients and minerals required to create a thoroughly healthy pizza! Unheard of though a healthy pizza is, should it become possible it may even be possible to add medications where necessary, via computer commands.
Enter NASA!
NASA has been so enthusiastic about this innovative proposition for a galactic pizza express 😉 that it has approved a $125,000 grant for the development of a "universal food synthesizer," a prototype dreamed up by mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor, of Systems and Materials Research Corporation (SMRC) in Austin, Texas. Based on 3-D printing technology this prototype also has the advantage of eliminating the problem of food waste.
"Long distance space travel requires 15-plus years of shelf life. The way we are working on it is all the carbs, proteins and macro and micro nutrients are in powder form. We take moisture out, and in that form it will last maybe 30 years." ~ Anjan Contractor
Although this innovative design is currently only at the ideas stage, in the future it could transform the way we conceive food here on Earth. This in-turn may help feed the planet.
"I think, and many economists think, that current food systems can't supply 12 billion people sufficiently. So we eventually have to change our perception of what we see as food." ~ Contractor

New Discovery! Great Lake On Jupiter's Icy Moon Europa! 40 comments
Great Lake of Europa
INTRODUCTION –SEARCHING FOR LIFE BEYOND EARTH
A large liquid lake has been discovered just below Europa's icy shell may provide a habitat for life.
Europa's icy surface, as viewed from NASA's Galileo spacecraft. Visible are plains of bright ice, jumbled cracks an indication of a sub-surface heat source that run to the horizon, and dark patches that likely contain both ice and dirt. CREDIT: NASA/Ted Stryk
HOW HAVE SCIENTISTS DETERMINED THE EXISTENCE OF THESE LAKES ON EUROPA?
New research studies show Jupiter's moon could have numerous large lakes just beneath its icy shell, and consequently closer to energy from the Sun, potentially providing a habitat for life.
JUPITER'S ICY MOON EUROPA IN BRIEF
Europa is one of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter which has at least 63 moons in total including Europa
Europa is slightly smaller than Earth's moon and orbits Jupiter every 3.5 days. It has an iron core, a rocky mantle (shell), a radius of 1,569 km and it is 670,900 km distant from Jupiter.
Although Europa is about 500 million miles away from earth it comes closer to resembling our planet and providing potential for life than anything else in the solar system
There is a large, subsurface ocean of salty water deep beneath its frozen, ice pack crust thought to be in some areas tens of kilometers thick.
Recently discovered lakes appear to be embedded closer to the surface.
Europa has more water than all the oceans of Earth
EUROPA'S GREAT LAKE
New research: A large liquid lake discovered approximately just 1.5 miles (3km) below Europa's icy shell. Estimated to be equal in volume to all the North American Great Lakes combined.
Europa could have numerous large shallow lakes just beneath its icy shell placing them closer to energy from the Sun.
One such lake lies underneath Thera Macula, one of Europa's chaos terrains. Thera Macula (false color) is a region of likely active chaos production above a large liquid water lake in the icy shell of Europa. Color indicates topographic heights relative to background terrain. Purples and reds indicate the highest terrain.

Research also explains how nutrients and energy could get from the moon's surface to its buried ocean.
In doing so they could possibly provide a habitat for life which would be a key finding in the search for places where life might exist beyond Earth.

HABITAT FOR LIFE
Scientists believe that
The interaction between the Europa ice pack and the subsurface bodies of water transfer nutrients and energy that may lead to life existing under the Europa surface.
Life in the oceans of Europa would be similar to that which exists deep beneath the oceans on Earth where light does not penetrate.
Liquid water is thought to be necessary for life,
Microbial organisms may survive in this buried sea.
The "lake" holds potential as a habitat for life, and there may be many more such lakes throughout the shallower regions of Europa's shell, said lead author Britney Scmhidt, postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Geophysics.
"The potential for exchange of material between the surface and subsurface is a big key for astrobiology. Europa's subsurface harbours much of what we believe is necessary for life but chemical nutrients found at the surface are likely vital for driving biology."~Wes Patterson, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md. and a co-author of the study.
"Now we see evidence that it's a thick ice shell that can mix vigorously, and new evidence for giant shallow lakes. That could make Europa and its ocean more habitable. The material cycled into the ocean via these lakes may make Europa's ocean even more habitable than previously imagined. The lakes may even be habitats themselves."~Britney Schmidt, lead author.
CHAOS TERRAIN ON EUROPA POINTS TO SUBSURFACE LAKES
Determining the existence of such a body of water
Chaos terrain on Europa points to subsurface lakes. (NASA/JPL/Ted Stryk)
Europa's surface is cold, around minus 170 degree Celsius (minus 100 K). The bottom of the ice is slightly warmer.
Two circular bumpy features on Europa's surface called "chaos terrains." similar to features on Earth suggest that Europa is still geologically active heated likely by tidal forces. These tidal forces provide more heat on Europa than would normally be the case for a celestial body that far away from the sun.
That means plumes of warm water well up against the Europa ice cap, fracturing them, to churn the ice and subsurface water causing the "chaos" terrain features.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE ON EUROPA?
Nutrients and energy are transferred from the frozen surface to the vast ocean below resulting in the possibility that environments suitable for life could exist under the Europa surface. Life in the oceans of Europa would be similar to that which exists deep beneath the oceans on Earth where light does not penetrate. This could also mean that Europa is more likely to harbour extra-terrestrial life than Mars.
"On Earth, it is the volcano [melting the ice]. On Europa, it is the warm ice plume coming up from below" ~Schmidt
"You and I might not notice the difference, but geologically it's very different. Heat melts some of the ice into enormous lakes beneath the crust. Think of Europa as one giant ice shelf floating on a global ocean, with a really rocky core." ~ Paul Schenk, of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston.

CONFIRMATION? – the next step in confirming liquid water under Europa?
Confirmation of the existence of these lakes will involve a thorough investigation of both above and below the icy surface of Europa meaning a future mission to Europa is essential. The National Research Council's Planetary Science Decadal Survey gave such missions one of the highest priority ratings.
FUTURE EUROPA EXPLORATION MISSIONS PROPOSALS
A joint NASA/EUROPEAN SPACE STATION SPACE mission to Europa known as the EUROPA JUPITER SYSTEM MISSION is being considered. The intention being that the EUROPA ORBITER probe, which is estimated to launch in 2020 arriving in orbit off Europa in 2028 will by remote study hopefully give clues as to how the ice layers and the subsurface ocean interact. It will also study the organic exchange between them which could result in the existence of microscopic life in the subsurface ocean and lakes.
The EUROPA ICEPICK MISSION would involve the drilling through of Europa's ice pack and a unique opportunity to explore the subsurface ocean, in the hope of finding some form of life and also other valuable scientific data.
"Europa is likely to have a deep ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust, making it an object of enormous interest as a possible abode for life," ~Planetary scientist Steve Squyres, with Cornell University
Funding for such missions to Europa is very uncertain. Most likely the Europa landers would cost anything from $800 million to $2 billion and that is only a rough estimate. This would involve input from several nations in order to obtain the necessary funding to make any one of these missions a reality.

Fire in the Sky 15 comments
Great Solar Storm of 1849
250 years ago fire lit up the skies of our predecessors world, turning night into day, wreaking havoc with the technology of the time. Now, in the closing days of the year 2009 and as we roll inexorably closer to New Year 2010 we stand on a pinnacle between worlds, a centre-point between past and future. As in the year 2349, if humankind still inhabits the Earth, they, the children of the future will see once again that fire that will light up the skies. Because when 500 years of our time has passed the Great Solar Storm of 1849 is set to return to that future world…
This spectacular event was caused by a period of intense solar activity….
London saw curtains of light dancing in the skies above the Houses of Parliament. In Cheshire newsprint could be read by its light. In Manchester people throughout the city had curtains of fire.
· Two massive solar events; Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) sent millions of tonnes of supercharged solar gases hurtling towards Earth at 2,000+ km/sec. Arriving in less than 18 hours they struck with enough force to throw our protective magnetic field into chaotic fits.
· This magnetic disruption caused the readings on worldwide scientific instruments recording changes in Earth's magnetic field to go completely off their scales. The communication system of the time became inoperable.
Night became day in the Northern Hemisphere and the resulting lights in the sky were reported by half the world as far South as the Caribbean and Venezuela……
The Coronal Mass Ejections may have been triggered by flare events resulting in a massive ejection of plasma from the Sun's atmosphere (Corona)
Since we live in an electronic society the effects on modern society would be disastrous.
· Satellites would fail and potentially fall out of orbit
Electricity grids would be overwhelmed
Country-wide blackouts
Global communication systems would simply stop working
Following the Solar Storm the magnetic field was so distorted and overwhelmed that the Northern Lights appeared all over the planet. This happens every 500 years or so. Next Storm expected in the year 2349.

Angels and Phantoms
memorable patients
Joanna Dognin
"Mama," a little voice pipes from the back seat. "Why is that boy in a chair?"
The sun is beaming into the car as we sit at a stoplight, waiting to exit a store parking lot. My two-year-old daughter has spotted a young man, barely twenty, who smiles weakly as he rolls by in an electric wheelchair, collecting money for muscular dystrophy.
"He's in a chair because he needs help moving around," I say.
"Because his legs need help."
"Why? Because they don't work?"
"Well..."
"Why are they broken?" she asks. "Is he broken? Why is he here? Where is his mama? Mama, where is the boy's mama?"
"Dr. Lobozzo, you got any kids?" Gabriel asked, calling me by my maiden name rather than the married name I'd only recently begun using.
"No," he continued with a sly smile. "Don't tell me. I already know. You have two sons."
I was newly married (without children), living in one of New York City's boroughs and working in the Manhattan HIV primary care center I'd joined after getting my psychology license. The center integrated mental health and social services into the HIV patients' primary care.
I had been seeing Gabriel for three years. Once a week he'd come for psychotherapy, braving a two-bus commute in a clunky, red electric wheelchair, adorned with a horn that he'd toot to announce his arrival. The chair also sported a flag, bumper stickers and assorted other trinkets given to him by his home health aide, a heavy-set woman he affectionately called "Mama Rosa."
Twenty-two years earlier, Gabriel had been born HIV-positive. His mother had been neglectful, if not abusive, so he'd spent his childhood shuttling from one foster home to another. Gabriel's chronically poor health had gone unnoticed and untreated until his adolescence, when a sudden stroke led to a prolonged hospitalization, discovery of his HIV status and a strained reconnection with his mother--now also known to be HIV-positive--and older siblings.
When I first met Gabriel, he was already very ill. His T-cell-less body had withstood cryptosporidium, toxoplasmosis and just about every other opportunistic infection. He lived in a nursing home, cared for by an assortment of home health aides. His family contacts were limited to occasional phone calls and (broken) promises of visits. The resulting isolation caused him constant distress and longing.
Understandably, Gabriel's caregivers had become his surrogate family. As he grew sicker and weaker, he turned more and more to his doctor and to me for nurturance, fantasizing about the rich family lives we supposedly led.
Therapy was challenging: Gabriel vacillated between a wish for life, for family, for meaning, and an inner pull towards despair and death. In some therapy sessions he talked about the future, especially one where he might someday have a wife and children. In many others he spoke incessantly of his impending death.
Sadly, maddeningly, as his mood swung up or down, so did his adherence to his HIV medication regimen. When feeling more hopeful, he'd take the life-saving drugs; in darker times, he'd stop. He was often hospitalized for what was expected to be the last time, but somehow he'd always bounce back.
Gabriel's doctor and I did our best, through counseling, to help Gabriel break this self-destructive cycle. When our efforts failed, we became more like insistent parents pleading with an unwilling child.
Through it all, Gabriel's health grew steadily worse--and his fantasies of my "sons" more vivid. During this last hospital stay, he imagined me leaving his bedside to run home and care for them.
"I know you have to go, right? Or maybe you can stay?" he asked weakly, then continued, "I bet your sons are waiting for you at home to cook for them. I bet they want their pasta, Dr. Lobozzo."
"Yes, I need to go soon," I responded quietly, glancing at a nurse in the corridor and then looking out the window. The hot July sun was fading slowly into early evening. I saw Central Park in the distance and thought longingly of going for a solitary evening run. I looked back at Gabriel, wishing that his mother were here to reprieve me of the heaviness in the room and wondering how much the very pressure of his need kept her at bay.
Trying to bridge the distance between Gabriel and his absent mother, I'd often left messages inviting her to a family session, and the hospital staff had called her each time he was admitted. Yet she never showed. In fact, I'd never even spoken directly with her on the phone. Wrestling with Gabriel's bottomless, unmet needs, I struggled to find some empathy for this shadowy woman who'd caused her child so much pain.
He'd been looking forward to this summer, to spending his favorite August days sitting outside, watching the world go by--but he was also growing sicker and sicker. The previous Christmas, he'd brought us gifts: a blanket for his doctor, whose hands were always cold; a bottle of olive oil for me, "to cook a nice Italian meal for your boys." In his own way, I think, he knew he had no more Christmases left.
"It's okay, you can go," Gabriel sighed. "It's late, and your sons must be hungry." Maybe he needed an excuse for why I didn't stay longer, as a devoted mother might. Or maybe he imagined himself sitting next to his brothers at our dinner table, eating the meal he'd helped to prepare.
Gently, I said goodbye and left.
After my visit, we again called Gabriel's mother, who again did not show up. She was, I reflected, becoming as much of a phantom to me as my "sons."
I went on vacation at the end of that long, hot summer, while Gabriel was still in the hospital. And while I was away, he died. I can still taste my disbelief: the shock that this ending, so long anticipated, had happened so briskly during my few days away.
The hospital staff told me that, in Gabriel's last days, his mother appeared. I still wonder what words and gestures passed between them at the end. I hope that he felt nurtured and mothered in the ways he most needed, and by the person whose caring he most craved. Above all, I hope their time together brought them both peace.
I would have liked to meet Gabriel's mother--to have had a chance to understand her absence before Gabriel faded away and I too moved on. But perhaps this was selfish. Maybe it was better that Gabriel's final moments with his mother, brief as they were, be private.
The traffic light turns to green. We leave the young man in the wheelchair.
"Mama," chimes my daughter.
My thoughts of Gabriel fade. Driving up the hill, I brace myself for more questions.
"Mama," she repeats. "The boy is gone....But look!" she shouts brightly. "I can see the moon! Mama, does the moon wear pajamas?"
I look back at my smiling child and her sleeping baby brother, and my heart breaks just a little bit. I'm struck by how easily what we love can be lost. Our ghosts and our living loved ones dance together across time and place, teaching us to be stronger parents, therapists and people.
Now Gabriel is a phantom--a boy sitting in a wheelchair and smiling a big, goofy smile, a boy who just wanted his mother--and the two children he imagined are real.

There is no need for anyone who are taking the one hour at a time smaller time increment approach as this does not conflict with the one day at a time model however, just like with ant overall plan of action, this adds the element of directed goal-seeking and anticipation of personal gain to the equation.
The shot-term thinking is considered as one, if not, the active behavior that greatly influence the cause of drug and alcohol addiction. Short-term, or sometimes pertained to as immediate, goals are being set and though there is a big possibility that they might be pursued vigorously, the long-term consequences that may comes from it are frequently ignored or neglected. In addition to that, the short-term thinking that are considered as dominant are crowding out the consideration of longer term rewards that will accrue from the productive behaviors.
Based on observation and based on the claims of other who have had the experience of taking drugs in the past, it goes to show that addict have the tendency of taking any extreme steps that allow them to acquire and ensure that they will get drugs. Speaking of taking extreme steps, this actually refers to criminal acts that should never be done by sane individuals which includes the following: robber, deceit, manipulation and any other forms of heinous act that breaks the law.
If a drug addict or an alcoholic wanted to change themselves for the better, there are lots of different ways for them to do so and one good example of it is the incremental approach model that we have made mentioned above. However, the very first thing that an addict must do for him to recover from his current state is to commit himself to the process of recover, to be prepared and be willing to do it no matter how long it may take as that is the only way for it to become successful.

Have you ever heard of cars from NUMMI? It's not surprising if you haven't. Closed in 2010, NUMMI (New United Motor Manufacturing Inc.) was a joint venture between General Motors and Toyota. Toyota shared its production methods, bringing people from the plant to Japan to train. Lessons learned from the joint venture are detailed in the book, "The Toyota Way." The methods never gained steam, either at NUMMI or GM as a whole. Why? The cultures of GM and Toyota were too different to make the transition.
It happens in joint ventures and mergers all the time. When corporate cultures are not taken into consideration, they can clash dooming long-term synergies. In the case of Toyota and GM, you not only had the different corporate cultures, but the differences in the American and Japanese cultures. These culture differences have to be taken into account when looking at how companies operate.
When a problem arises, a simple solution is to look at other companies that have had the problem and see how they solved it. However, what worked for them may not work for you. You must take culture into consideration to see if the methods can be adapted. Just because something works well in Japan does not mean it is feasible to use in the United States and vice versa. If you understand the differences in cultures, you have a better chance of making solutions work across organizations.

The Unibis range is ideally suited for applications where available space is a limiting factor in the design, most notably in explosion proof enclosures and other petrochemical industry installations, but also in boats, caravans and portable equipment.


You can run Ubuntu on Windows 10. It's not running in a virtual machine. It's magic. I'm going to set up my preferred environment. By the end of this document, I'll have fish and Neovim running in tmux with 24-bit colors.
For ease of googling when you inevitably run into an issue, this feature is officially called the "Windows Subsystem for Linux," or WSL for short. You may want to peruse the FAQ before getting started to douse your wild ambitions with cold water.
First, follow the Microsoft install documentation to get started, then come back.
C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME\AppData\Local\lxss\home\YOUR_LINUX_USER_NAME. If you open Windows Explorer and poke around in AppData\Local, you're not going to see an lxss folder. That's for a reason. Files in this folder have some extended attributes on them, and you can screw things up by poking at them in the Windows Explorer GUI. This is a command line only zone.
Now. Bash is OK, but I prefer fish. Scott Hanselman has a post about setting that up. I think Oh My Fish is a bit overkill, but whatever.
Let's take this to the next level and use a half-decent terminal. Enter ConEmu. It has tabs and true color mode. You're going to want the portable version.
If you want true color mode, things get trickier. Check out the ConEmu WSL docs.
Basically, there's a wsl directory bundled with ConEmu. Run the wsl-con.cmd command in there, and it'll download a bunch of stuff into the directory (That's why you're using portable ConEmu). Then drop the wsl-con.bat and boot.sh scripts in and make a ConEmu task that points at them. Use /dir "c:\your\path\to\wsl\" in the task parameters field to set the working directory. I had to add the directory containing ConEmuC.exe to my Windows %path%. It's not perfect; I get an extra tab that says ConEmuC: Root process was alive less than 10 sec, ExitCode=0 Press Enter or Esc to close console... every time I open a new fish tab.
Installing Neovim from the PPA works smoothly. No issues. This is hands down the best way to run Neovim on Windows.
Now I want Homebrew, but we're going to have to settle with a lot of broken packages at this point.
Setting HOMEBREW_BUILD_FROM_SOURCE is pretty important! Otherwise you're going to get issues involving Exec format error. On the downside, compiling everything takes forever. On the upside, brew will actually function! Kind of. Installing little tools like ag is good. Installing Neovim or fish from here is a no-go.
If you need to install anything that requires openssl, you'll have to precompile openssl with a flag to avoid this bug.
Don't worry. I'm sure those failing tests we're skipping aren't ominous at all!
Next stop, tmux. It's preinstalled! An old version that doesn't support true color mode. We need at least version 2.2 for pretty colors. How to you feel about PPAs from random people? Done!
Whew! There we are. A whole evening of work for something you could have set up in a tenth of the time using Ubuntu in a VM. But this is way more convenient that having to fire up VirtualBox, don't you agree?


I suppose if you try to raise billions in new taxes you can call yourself merciful by handing out a few million to select target groups. Rep. Jeff Merkley grew the state budget by 21%, and now we are supposed to thank him for not growing the budget 22%? Interestingly enough, Rep. Jeff Merkley held a press conference during the 2005 Legislative Session attacking the concept of billions of dollars of runaway tax breaks that are poking holes in our state budget.

the process of determining if that last shot was the fatal one and if it was justified. he says the witness in the back seat corroborates the officer's description of a struggle and the man pulling a gun and he says the video only shows the last seconds of the incident of the male seemingly running away with his back to police which could be taken out of context. >> it's difficult to discern whether or not, you know, he was trying to threaten him and pull it and fire or whether or not he was trying to get away. >> reporter: now, police are telling us they won't release that surveillance video now. they do say that their policy allows for an officer to shoot a fleeing suspect but they are trying to make sure that that last shot was justified. they have not prelease any information about the individual in this case other than to say he was known by police. wendy saltzman channel6 "action news." >> wendy thank you. 41-year-old chelsea outlaw of minquedale has been arrested in a shooting that critically injured a six-year-old delaware boy.

beautiful. temperatures really holding in the 70's through the evening at 7 o'clock, 79 by 9 o'clock, 76. still in the low 70's by 11 o'clock with nothing more than a few fair weather clouds, a moonlit sky under a full strawberry moon so a great night to maybe do some grilling, maybe dining alfresco but temperatures will begin to warm up starting tomorrow. future tracker showing tomorrow afternoon, 87 degrees. it will be slightly more humid but the real heat and humidity will be arriving on sunday. temperatures soaring up to 93 degrees by 4 o'clock and the heat index early next week up near 100. i'll talk about just how long that dangerous heat will be sticking around coming up with the full accuweather forecast. monica. >> all right, it's rick, cecily. we'll see you back inside. thank you. it is a grim chapter of philadelphia's past. 57 immigrants brought here from ireland to build a stretch of railroad track in 1832. less than two months after they arrived all 57 died.

to affect the russia investigation, that may then cross over into obstruction of justice according to james comey. >> reporter: president trump's lawyer marc kasowitz suggests it's comey who could be in legal jeopardy after he admitted he asked a friend to share notes of his private conversationsed with the president with the media. legal experts tell abc news they are split about the president's risk of being charged with obstruction of justice. one lawyer says if the president tries to shut down an ongoing criminal investigation into his campaign, it is obstruction of justice. but another says nothing of what comey laid out in his testimony is enough to build a case against the president. at the white house, stephanie ramos, channel6 "action news." >> time right now for a check of that "action news" traffic report friday night. >> matt pelman in the "action news" traffic center with the latest on the commute home. t.g.i.f., matt, hm. >> yeah, absolutely. my twitter follower france says this whole mess is because of the full moon
