Rome: Birth of the Vatican Museums
Italy Stories
From ruins to Renaissance riches.
In the early 1500s, Rome was littered with ruins from the days of the ancient Empire, including great artworks buried amongst the rubble. The Renaissance had seen a sudden growth of interest in all things classical, and the popes were the richest and most cultivated art collectors in Italy. They began offering cash rewards for sculptures, until Rome was scoured by freelance treasure hunters on the prowl for pagan masterpieces. The most dramatic discovery occurred in 1506, when a father-and-son team of excavators reported a find near the ruined Baths of Titus. Michelangelo himself excitedly hurried over to help with the work, followed by the pope's official agent, Guiliano da Sangallo. When the excavators brushed away the dirt of 1,000 years, they found an enormous marble sculpture, perfectly intact, of a muscular Trojan hero being attacked by giant snakes. Guilano cried out in amazement, "This is the very Laocoön described by (the ancient Roman author) Pliny!" The spectacular image was carted off to the Vatican, and the lucky discoverers were awarded a lifetime pension of 600 ducats a year – the equivalent of approximately $75,000 a year now. Today, the Laocoön can still be seen in Octagonal Court of the Vatican Museums, where it graced the new art collection of Pope Julius II (the man who also commissioned the Sistine Chapel). The displays were greatly expanded by the next Pope, the young, art-loving Leo X, who appointed the painter Raphael as superintendent. These early 1500s would be remembered as a golden age of discovery in Rome, with hundreds of pagan sculptures saw the light. Julius and Leo were also responsible for another revolutionary move, for which we can all be grateful – they were the first to open their private art collections in the Vatican and nearby Campidoglio to public visitors, thus creating the first "museums," designed to encourage the appreciation of beauty and culture.

In Japan, the so-called bubble economy started from the latter half of the 1980s. Then the bubble burst and Japan entered the lost decade of the 90s a long-lasting period of depression and deflation not experienced by any other country since World War II. In this paper, I try to pick out some lessons that should be learnt from Japans experiences, by studying the factors and political problems that powered the bubble economy. Bubble economy means a soaring of asset values not based on economic fundamentals. An important point to note is that the economic fundamentals were not abnormal during the bubble economy.

Cotesia marginiventris
By Nicholas Stefanski
Cotesia marginiventris populations can be located throughout South and Central America as well as lower North America. In warmer months, individuals can be found as far north as the state of Wisconsin. This species may also be found in Hawaii as it was brought in to act as a biological control agent against agricultural pests such as armyworms, African armyworms, lawn armyworms, and cabbageworms. (Ashley, 1986; Lai, 1988)
oceanic islands
Cotesia marginiventris eggs and larval instars live inside of one of many possible invertebrate hosts, usually a noctuid moth, moving about all areas of the host body. An adult C. marginiventris is very adaptable, only requiring non-freezing temperatures, a sugar source, and a host to deposit parasitoid larvae into. Areas most likely to support populations of C. marginiventris include grasslands and forests within temperate and tropical zones. They often parasitize agricultural insect pests, and thus are frequently found in farm fields. (Jalali, et al., 1990; Turlings, et al., 2004)
savanna or grassland
Other Habitat Features
Similar to related parasitoid wasps, eggs of C. marginiventris resemble grains of rice, appearing as clear elongated ovals. The larval stages change from translucent and white to opaque and brown as they grow and toughen. Adult wasps can be recognized by a black head and thorax accompanied by a tan abdomen. Additionally, the males and females share long segmented antennae while only the females bare an elongated ovipositor. Both males and females average 3 mm in length. (Boling and Pitre, 1970; Riddick, 2006)
In the wild, adult female Cotesia marginiventris will usually deposit one egg in each noctuid moth larval host. Within two days the egg hatches into the first larval instar. The larvae then molt twice inside the host before emerging, killing the host, and immediately spinning a cocoon of roughly 4 mm in length on whichever surface it lands. At roughly 13 days from the implantation of the egg, the adult emerges from the cocoon fully developed. Although reproductively active immediately, the average adult has roughly 1 week to reproduce before death. (Boling and Pitre, 1970)
In order to reproduce, males locate the females by following pheromone trails. Once a female is located, a male fans its wings to signal to the female that he is ready to mate. If the female does not jump away or click it's wings, then the male mounts the female. Most likely due to the disparity in the male/female ratio of Cotesia marginiventris, the male will attempt to mate multiple times, while the female mates once and rejects further attempts to mate. Currently, there are no known traits that influence mate preference. (Boling and Pitre, 1970)
The breeding season of Cotesia marginiventris varies depending on location, ceasing to occur when temperatures stay below 10 degrees Celcius. This usually limits the breeding season to spring and summer months. Cotesia marginiventris is a semelparous species, and females will only mate once within their short lifespans. Though not required for mating, intake of sugars from aphids or nectar may greatly increase the fecundity of females. Mated females may oviposit at several different locations but the eggs are all a result of a single mating. Females may lay an average of 150 eggs in laboratory conditions. The acts of reproduction and oviposition of Cotesia marginiventris occur during daylight hours. Cotesia marginiventris are sexually mature upon emerging from pupae as adults, which occurs at 12 or 13 days of age. (Johanowicz and Mitchell, 2000; Joyce, et al., 2009; Riddick, 2008; Sourakov and Mitchell, 2001)

As with most other parasitoid wasps, Cotesia marginiventris displays no parental investment. (Riddick, 2008)
no parental involvement
pre-fertilization
Similar to many other semelparous organisms, C. marginiventris lives only shortly after completing reproduction. For this species, the entire process normally takes between 22 and 30 days. (Joyce, et al., 2009; Riddick, 2008)
Typical lifespan
Cotesia marginiventris are solitary creatures that travel little in their larval forms, but are very mobile in their adult forms. Adults will fly from location to location in search of either a mate, a sugar source to feed on, or a host to lay eggs inside in the case of female C. marginiventris. (Butler, et al., 2009)
diurnal
Specific home range sizes for Cotesia marginiventris are currently unknown.
Male Cotesia marginiventris seek out mates by following the pheromone trails produced by females of the species. Additionally, females are believed to locate hosts by following trails of volatile chemicals that are produced by hosts as they feed. The attraction of these wasps to the volatiles produced by insects feeding on maize has been the focus of much scientific research. (Joyce, et al., 2009; Turlings, et al., 2004)
Adult C. marginiventris require a sugar source and are known to feed from the nectar of flowers as well as from the honeydew excretions of aphids. Female C. marginiventris lay eggs within an insect host, which will serve as nourishment for the developing larvae. As a generalist parasitoid, C. marginiventris larvae feed on the internal structures from a variety of insect larvae. Some of the species that are host to larvae include: black cutworms, celery loopers, common loopers, bean leaf-skeletonizers, corn earworms, tobacco budworms, spotted beet webworms, Hawaiian beet webworms, Leucania latiuscula, variegated cutworms, Plathypena scabra, armyworms, soybean loopers, Scotorythra caryopsis, cabbage loopers and several species of Spodoptera, including southern armyworms, beet armyworms, fall armyworms, Spodoptera ornithogalli, and Spodoptera praefica. (Boling and Pitre, 1970; Johanowicz and Mitchell, 2000)
There are no known specific predators of Cotesia marginiventris. However, numerous birds as well as amphibians and other insects are known to opportunistically feed upon wasps. (Raw, 1997)
The most notable role of Cotesia marginiventris is the population control it provides for the numerous species it parasitizes. These parasitic wasps mostly parasitize moths of the Noctuidae family. Additionally, C. marginiventris are known to directly affect the populations of other parasitic wasps such as Microplitis croceipes and Cardiochiles nigriceps by interspecific competition between the larval phases of the parasites. When multiple wasp eggs are present within the same host, the egg that is laid first is usually the only one to successfully hatch and mature into an adult. Commonly parasitized species include: black cutworms (Agrotis ipsilon), celery loopers (Anagrapha falcifera), common loopers (Autographa precationis), bean leaf-skeletonizers (Autoplusia egena), corn earworms (Helicoverpa zea), tobacco budworms (Heliothis virescens), spotted beet webworms (Hymenia perspectalis), Hawaiian beet webworms (Hymenia recurvalis), Leucania latiuscula, variegated cutworms (Peridroma saucia), Plathypena scabra, armyworms (Pseudaletia unipuncta), soybean loopers (Pseudoplusia includens), Scotorythra caryopsis, southern armyworms (Spodoptera eridania), beet armyworms (Spodoptera exigua), fall armyworms (Spodoptera frugiperda), Spodoptera ornithogalli, Spodoptera praefica, and cabbage loopers (Trichoplusia ni). (Boling and Pitre, 1970; De Moraes and Mescher, 2005; Johanowicz and Mitchell, 2000)

Because of the nature of Cotesia marginiventris as a noctuid larval parasitoid, it has proven to be a great asset to thousands of farmers growing a wide variety of crops damaged by species of Noctuidae. Specifically, C. marginiventris has been shown to be most effective at controlling herbivore populations feeding on maize due to an attraction to a certain blend of volatile chemicals produced from larvae feeding on the corn. (D'Alessandro, et al., 2009; Lai, 1988)
controls pest population
To date, there are no known economic issues caused by the presence of these parasitoid wasps. (Lai, 1988)
Currently, they are no apparent risks to this species. It is also unlikely that the Cotesia marginiventris population will be at risk in the near future, due to interest in them as a biological control agent. (D'Alessandro, et al., 2009)
Cotesia marginiventris is also known by the name of Apanteles marginiventris (Tingle, et al., 2005)

Today's Silver News Could Push Prices to Our Bold Target in 2017
By Alex McGuire, Associate Editor, Money Morning • @AlexMcGuire92 • June 9, 2017
8 − = seven
The big silver news story today (Friday, June 9) is how prices are on track to settle at their lowest level in nearly two weeks. Silver prices are down 1.1% today and trading at $17.22 – the lowest since closing at $17.19 on May 25. That puts the metal on track for a weekly loss of 1.7%.
Now, I know what you're thinking: How does the price of silver falling today indicate a rally is coming? Well, we see it as just a short-term pullback that will give way to a rally later in 2017.
You see, today's brief decline comes despite three global events that would normally boost safe-haven investments like silver. These include former FBI Director James Comey's incendiary testimony and the hung UK parliamentary elections.
To recap, Comey told Senate members yesterday that he believed he was fired because of the FBI's investigation into Russia's alleged election interference. And late last night, the UK parliamentary elections ended with neither the Labour Party nor the Conservative Party (which Prime Minister Theresa May belongs to) getting the majority. The uncertainty surrounding the inconclusive vote could have a big delay on Brexit negotiations this year.
And the third event, which will happen in the United States next week, will have an even bigger influence on the price of silver in 2017. In fact, we think it could help lift prices to Money Morning Resource Specialist Peter Krauth's $22 target by the end of the year. That would be a 27.8% gain from today's $17.22 price.
Here's what we'll be watching next week…
This Event Will Dominate Silver News Headlines Next Week
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on June 13-14 could provide a boost to silver prices this year.
Right now the odds of an interest rate hike after the FOMC meeting on Wednesday are extremely high. According to the CME Group's FedWatch Tool, there's a 99.6% chance the Federal Reserve raises rates to the 1%-1.25% range. In other words, a rate hike next week is a near certainty, especially with the inflation rate falling for three straight months to 2.2% in April and unemployment hitting a 16-year low last month.
Yes, rate hikes are often thought of as bearish for the silver price. Higher interest rates usually increase the value of the U.S. dollar, which can be a drag on dollar-priced metals like silver and gold. A more valuable dollar means people using other currencies can't afford to buy silver.
This could rattle silver investors since the Fed is clearly entering a long-term rate hike campaign. After all, there have been three increases in the benchmark federal funds rate since December 2015, with two of those happening this year alone.
But if you look over the long term, interest rates and silver prices typically rise together. For example, silver and interest rates both rallied during the 1970s. The metal skyrocketed 1,650%, from just under $2 per ounce in January 1970 to $35 by January 1980. That happened while interest rates steadied above 5% for most of the decade – roughly five times the current 0.75%-1% range. Interest rates even reached as high as 15% in 1979.
Trending: An incredibly rare gold anomaly is shaping up in the markets as we speak — one that has occurred ONLY twice in the past 20 years. And it's about to happen again. Details here…
And we may be repeating history now that the Fed is set on continuously raising interest rates. There have been three rate hikes since Dec. 16, 2015, when we saw the first increase in nearly a decade. Since that date, silver prices have climbed 20.8%. That means more rate hikes could lead to long-term gains for silver.
All of this supports Peter's prediction for $22 silver by the end of 2017. If prices reach that level, we could be looking at a strong 27.8% return in less than six months.
But one of our recommendations could hand you an even bigger return. It's a silver stock that analysts say could gain as much as 36.2% over the next 12 months, making it a great way to invest in silver this year.
Here's our recommendation…
Consider This Silver Stock for a Potential 36.2% Profit by June 2018

How and why did Robert Lincoln decide to go to Harvard?
Newly revealed letter gives the answer.
By Jason Emerson
Robert Todd Lincoln LFA0092
The earliest-known letter by Robert Lincoln has recently surfaced, and its contents answer the longstanding question of exactly how and why Robert ended up attending Harvard College in Massachusetts and exactly what role his parents played in the decision. The letter, written from Springfield in 1859 when Robert was 16 years old, shows that the oldest son of Abraham Lincoln was a typical teenager in that he didn't care where he went to college as long as he could escape the "dullness" of Springfield, and that his parents were the ones deciding on where he would ultimately attend. The letter also offers up a previously unknown acquaintance of Robert's, Louis James, who became a renowned Shakespearian actor as an adult.
The origin of Robert's attendance at Harvard has always been somewhat of a mystery to scholars desirous of understanding Abraham Lincoln's role as parent. Existing evidence has offered no explanation for the choice, so all scholars have had to offer was supposition that Robert chose Harvard because it was prestigious, all his friends and social peers were attending Ivy League schools in the East and he was following suit, and his parents wanted him to have the best education possible. In his early years, Robert did obtain the best education he could receive in Springfield. It began in 1849 with brief attendance at a Springfield day school. In 1850, he became a student at Abel Estabrook's Springfield Academy, a private subscription-based school, and three years later, at age 11, he entered the preparatory department of Illinois State University. Robert spent six years at ISU — attending today's equivalents of middle school and high school — and by the spring of 1859 he was considering college.
By March of that year, Robert was 16, the older brother to eight-year-old Willie and five-year-old Tad, his mother was a strong-willed educated woman raising the children, and his father was an attorney renowned throughout the Midwest who had only months before lost a U.S. Senate race to Stephen A. Douglas, but had, in the process, gained national attention as a rising Republican politician.
Robert's story — in general and in regard to his education — has been one rarely investigated or told except as to how it related to his famous father. In the 1960s, historian John Goff wrote an article focused completely on Robert's education, which he followed with a full biography, Robert Todd Lincoln: A Man in His Own Right. I wrote a biography of Robert that was published in 2012 titled, Giant in the Shadows: The Life of Robert T. Lincoln. Neither Goff nor I found any information on exactly why Robert chose to attend Harvard. The only written evidence was something Robert wrote in his college autobiography that he "became aware that I could never get an education in that way [at Illinois State University] and resolved to enter Harvard College" — and that has been the extent of any known explanations. A few years ago, I was contacted by a man who was a descendant of an old acquaintance of Robert Lincoln who had a letter from Robert and was curious to get my opinion of it as Robert's biographer. After seeing and reading it, I was astounded by its contents and the meaning it adds to the Lincoln family story.
The letter reads:
Springfield, Ill
March 4th/59
Friend Louis
I am ashamed of not having written to you before but I have been so busy at school that I have had no time for any thing else. We have had a gay time this winter, the legislature having favoured [sic] us with an extremely long session, so long, indeed, that the republican members got tired of it and went home. What has been going on in "The Garden City"? If it has been as dull there all winter as it is here just now, you have been having a sorry time.. [sic] Father came home yesterday from Chicago and told me your father would probably send you to Harvard University next fall. They have been thinking of sending me somewhere but have not made up their minds yet[.]
It is a matter of indifference to me where I go so I can get away from this place.. [sic] Are you certain of going? What class do you wish to enter? There is a young man who graduated at Harvard and wants me to go there. He gave me a catalogue, which, if you would like to see it, I will send to you. Hoping to hear from you soon I remain
R.T. Lincoln
The envelope is addressed to Louis James, Care of Benjamin James, Esq., Chicago, Ills., with a postmark of Springfield, Ill.
Historically, everything in the letter checks out:
Louis Levitte James, born in Tremont, Ill., on Oct. 3, 1842 (only two months after Robert Lincoln), was the son of Benjamin Franklin James. Benjamin James was a lawyer who practiced in Tazewell County, Illinois, and was the publisher of the short-lived Tazewell Whig. He was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1841 (Abraham Lincoln was on the committee that examined him for admission) where he practiced in Tremont and participated in Whig politics. He moved his family to Chicago in the late 1850s and set up his law practice in that city. He was a strong supporter of Abraham Lincoln for Congress in the 1840s, Senate in the 1850s, and the presidency in 1860. He was appointed a U.S. patent examiner in Washington, D.C., during the war.
Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin James were definitely acquaintances and possibly friends. There are multiple letters between them in Lincoln's collected papers. In a letter from Lincoln to James, dated August 31, 1860, Lincoln thanks James for his congratulations on receiving the Republican presidential nomination, and adds, "How time gallops along with us! Look at these great big boys of yours and mine, when it was but yesterday that we and their mothers were unmarried. Make my respects to Mrs. James and Louis." Clearly, James knew Abraham Lincoln and their two boys became acquainted through their fathers.
It is also verified that Abraham Lincoln was in Chicago in late February 1859 and returned to Springfield on March 3, just as Robert declares in the letter. Lincoln was in Chicago on legal business for his client Jonathan Haines. (This is likely the case of Ruggs v. Haines, in which Jonathan and Ansel Haines, inventors and manufacturers of the Illinois Harvester, hired Lincoln in 1856 to sue George H. Ruggs for patent infringement. Lincoln's clients won at trial and on appeal.) While in town, Lincoln also gave a speech at the city's Republican party headquarters to celebrate the party's victory in the municipal elections. Lincoln wrote a letter (to Peter H. Watson) from Chicago on March 2 and a letter from Springfield (to Hayden Keeling) on March 3.
As to the contents of the letter of young Robert Lincoln to Louis James, there are many aspects of it that are fascinating and exciting to the study of the Lincoln family. First of all, this is the earliest known letter by Robert Lincoln to ever be seen. Prior to this letter, the earliest letter written by Robert was one to his mother on December 2, 1860, which he wrote from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. (Robert obviously wrote many letters as a teen in Springfield, but none of them have ever been publicly found. Robert did burn many of his letters as an adult in the typical Victorian house cleaning procedure, and it is known that Mary Lincoln burned many family papers in 1861 while preparing to go to Washington, so his teen letters were probably destroyed during such events.)
Another interesting aspect to the letter is the neatness of the handwriting. Robert's handwriting as an adult is much more angular and tightly knit; it is also atrocious and difficult to read. Also, his adult signature was "Robert T. Lincoln" or "RTL" to friends, so his signature in the 1859 letter as "RT Lincoln" is rare and unusual. However, considering that he was 16 when this was written and in the midst of school, this makes sense that he would still be writing in a neat script and had not yet adopted his adult signature.
For me, as someone who spent nearly a decade researching and writing Robert's life, the most exciting (and valuable) aspect to the letter is the viewing of Robert's typical teen unhappiness in where he lives, and, most importantly, the information about Robert Lincoln's college plans. The fact that Robert talks about how "dull" life is in Springfield and how he just wants to "get away from this place" shows that Robert was a normal teenager despite his father's fame, and that the Lincoln family was a normal family. Robert's statement that his parents "have been thinking of sending me somewhere," and that his father was talking to the elder James about Harvard, shows for the first time that the decision for Robert Lincoln to attend Harvard College was one that was driven by Abraham and Mary Lincoln. Also, Robert's statement, "There is a young man here who graduated Harvard and wants me to go there," is interesting because there was a clerk in the Lincoln & Herndon Law Office named Charles B. Brown who not only graduated from Harvard in 1856 but also wrote a letter of introduction for Robert to Brown's former classmate William W. Burrage. When Robert went to Harvard in summer 1859 to take the exams, he visited with Burrage to get advice on how to proceed, he told a correspondent in 1909.[*]
Interestingly, other than this letter, no other letter to or from Louis James to Robert Lincoln is known to exist. It appears Louis never entered Harvard, but instead joined the Union army at the outset of the Civil War. "I served through the war and when it was over went to Louisville, where I got my first engagement … in 1864," as he told one writer in 1902. James became a Shakespearean actor of some note (rated "second tier" by New York critics at the time). He toured with Lawrence Barrett's acting company from 1877 to 1886. "With a commanding vocal and physical presence as well as ease of emotional range, James earned respect in the profession and faithful audiences on the road, even if he never attained Broadway stardom," according to Felicia Hardison Londré in her book, The Enchanted Years of the Stage: Kansas City at the Crossroads of American Theater, 1870-1930.
James's first wife, Lillian Scanlon, died in 1876; he married his co-star Marie Wainwright in 1882, and divorced in 1889; he married Alphia Hendricks in December 1892. Hendricks (1868-1940) performed as Aphie James. She performed in vaudeville and on Broadway during her career. The couple trouped together in James's own company and had a large summer house at Monmouth Beach, New Jersey.
Louis died unexpectedly in Montana while touring with his company in 1910. Alphie passed in 1940. Their remains are buried in the Hendricks family plot in Kansas City, Missouri. Alphie was the aunt of the father of the letter's owner who made the correspondence available to me. He has since sold the letter to a private collector.
Robert Lincoln did attend Harvard College, but he did not enroll until 1860. When he took the entrance exams in 1859 he failed miserably and, upon receiving advice from Harvard President Dr. James Walker, undertook a year of preparatory work at Phillips Academy, in Exeter, New Hampshire.
Harvard College LOC
Robert graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy not long after his father's nomination as the Republican presidential candidate on May 18, 1860. In early July, he again attempted the Harvard entrance exams and this time passed easily. "After the commencement in 1860, I was able to inform my father that I had succeeded in entering College without a condition, quite a change from the previous year," Robert wrote in his college biography four years later. Abraham was pleased to brag about his son's achievements. He wrote to his friend Anson G. Henry, "Our oldest boy 'Bob' has been away from us nearly a year at school. He will enter Harvard University this month. He promises well, considering we never controlled him much." Robert Lincoln graduated Harvard in 1864, served briefly on General U.S. Grant's staff during the final months of the Civil War, and ultimately became a lawyer in Chicago.
Jason Emerson is a journalist and historian. He is the author of The Madness of Mary Lincoln.
[*] One of the many incorrect stories about Robert Lincoln's life was that when he journeyed to Harvard College in 1859 is that he carried with him a letter of introduction from U.S. Senator Stephen A. Douglas, presenting Robert as the son of his friend Abraham Lincoln, "with whom I have lately been canvassing the state of Illinois." Though untrue, the story, related by Edward Everett Hale at the end of the nineteenth century, has been repeated by every historian since. Robert even told Hale—twice, in 1899—that his facts were incorrect, stating the second time, "I certainly never told the story to you, because I do not believe it to have any foundation whatever." Robert thought it "quite impossible" that he carried a letter from Douglas, for, even though the elder Lincoln and Douglas had known each other well, "I do not think they were ever what can be called friends." Robert also said he was "quite sure" that the relations of the two men after the 1858 senatorial campaign "were not such as to permit that my father should have asked of Senator Douglas a letter of introduction for me to anybody. More than that, Senator Douglas had been from early manhood away from the New England States, and I think it very unlikely that he had such relations as to authorize him to give a letter of introduction to anyone at Cambridge."

Half-Life is finally getting ray tracing
January 10, 2022 by justin26
While we're all sitting around just waiting for Half-Life 3 to appear, some individuals are improving the original games. Now a Russian modder has been working on adding ray tracing into the original Half-Life.
Early in January 2022, sultim_t posted a teaser video for a vision of the future with real-time ray tracing added to the original Half-Life game.
Upcoming PC games: The best new games to look forward to
Though it's in its early stages, Half-Life: Ray Traced as it's appropriately named, is a playable mod that will be released when it's ready. The developer notes that these things take time but you can see the progress here. The plan is to eventually release both the full build and source code, so when it does come people could take it and make it even better.
The plan here is to add global illumination with detailed reflections, shadows and improved visual effects from environmental lighting. The developer is using previous mod builds to bring Vulkan ray tracing to the engine and to breathe new life into what is an ageing game. Half-Life did release all the way back in 1998 after all.
The game itself isn't being remastered though, so it's amusing to see fancy ray-traced lighting with old school graphics. We'll be interested to see what happens when it's a finished product.

This decadent instant pot cheesecake recipe includes tips for making the smoothest, creamiest cheesecake you'll ever taste. You won't believe that it came from your instant pot!
The second attempt went much better. There is just one key thing that you need to know.
Using ingredients that are completely at room temperature is the key to ensuring you won't have lumpy batter. This includes your cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs.
Beat the room temperature cream cheese with an electric mixer first, until it's nice and smooth, before you add in the other ingredients. Once other ingredients are added, the mixture should not be over-mixed.
Well, at least it was worth making this recipe twice, because after the second go at it, I was truly in cheesecake heaven. I really don't know how the instant pot manages to do this stuff. Every time I try a new recipe in this thing, I'm just amazed. I can't decide for sure what my true favorite one has been, but I think it's a tie between my instant pot spaghetti and meat sauce, (holy moly), or my instant pot chicken and stuffing, which cooks completely frozen chicken breasts and a big ol' batch of stuffing in 22 minutes. Seriously, tell me that's not witch craft.
This decadent instant pot cheesecake recipe includes tips for making the smoothest, creamiest cheesecake you'll ever taste. You won't believe that it came from your instant pot!
Before you begin: Leave your cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs out at room temperature for several hours prior to making this cheesecake, otherwise your cheesecake will be lumpy when mixed. You have been warned.
Lightly grease a 6 inch Springform pan. Make sure the bottom of the pan firmly intact before you begin. Mix the graham crackers and melted butter together and press firmly onto the bottom of the pan. Freeze for 20 minutes (or more is fine, but not less).
Place the room temperature cream cheese in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high it until it's nice and smooth. We need to do very little mixing once the other ingredients are added, so get that smooth consistency first.
Add the sugars, sour cream, and flour to the cream cheese and beat on low until just combined. Add the vanilla and salt and mix on low until just combined. Don't over-mix.
Add one egg, beat on low for a few seconds, then add the other egg and beat until just blended.
Add the cake batter to the pan, leave a ½ inch of space at the top, if this means leaving out some of the batter that's fine, you don't want it to overflow.
Add 1 + ½ cups water to the instant pot. Place a trivet on the bottom of the pot (this should have come with your instant pot), this prevents the cake pan from touching the bottom.
You'll want to be able to lift the cake pan out of the instant pot when it's done cooking. I used foil to create a sling in order to lift it out. Take about 18 inches of aluminum foil and fold it into thirds to make it thicker (keep the 18 inch length). Lower it into the instant pot and then place the cake pan on top of it.
Lock the lid and hit the "pressure cook" button and set the timer for 35 minutes. Once finished, let 10 minutes pass before you trigger the quick release valve. This will allow most of the pressure to release naturally, allowing the cake to cook a little bit longer.
Use the foil sling to carefully lift the cake out of the pot. Cover it with foil and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. Serve with strawberries or cherries and enjoy!

bharathikannan.r@172.20.2.7's password:

A: According to your description you created the .ssh directory in your home and then created the .authorized_keys file in the same directory (your home, not in ~/.ssh/). Please make sure the file is at the correct place.
Also, the following command can set you up without all the hassle:
user@host:~$ ssh-copy-id user@otherhost

Hope that helps.

A: You probably had no ~/.ssh directory or no .ssh/authorized_keys file. Be aware when simply creating the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file manually you can easily get one of the permissions wrong.
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/known_hosts
restorecon -R ~/.ssh

The real gotcha is the last one, SELINUX (this is what I stumbled on, I always do). You can always try setting it to permissive and/or checking the audit.log too.
# ll -Z ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
# restorecon -R ~/.ssh
# ll -Z ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Failing all this login to the target machine and create the full key structure with
ssh-keygen

A: It's asking for a password because you haven't told the client machine what key to use.
You can do this one of two ways:
1) when you terminal into your remote machine, use the following:
ssh -i /path/to/your/privatekey user@host
2) Create the file ~/.ssh/config on your client machine and insert the following:
Host your.hostname.tld
IdentityFile /path/to/your/privatekey

Method 1 is great if you have several different keys your want to use. Method 2 is effectively automatic every time you connect to the given host.

A: The .ssh dir should be 700 on both systems.

SAVING MR BANKS
Two-time Academy Award®–winner Emma Thompson and fellow double Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks topline Disney's "Saving Mr. Banks," inspired by the extraordinary, untold backstory of how Disney's classic "Mary Poppins" made it to the screen.
When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' "Mary Poppins," he made them a promise—one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation.
For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn't budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.
It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.
Disney presents "Saving Mr. Banks," directed by John Lee Hancock, produced by Alison Owen, Ian Collie and Philip Steuer, and written by Kelly Marcel and Sue Smith. Executive producers are Paul Trijbits, Christine Langan, Andrew Mason and Troy Lum.
The film will release in U.S. theaters on December 13, 2013, limited, and open wide on December 20, 2013.

After a short, but very restful, night's sleep in our hotel in Emeryville, we hopped on the California Zephyr the next morning feeling refreshed and ready to roll. This leg of our trip took a full 24-hours. Grand Junction is our next stop. We will be laying over there for a day to visit family.
As we passed through central California, the train filled up with people headed to Reno to visit the casinos. They were a friendly and fun group of people. In the afternoon we started seeing a little bit of snow in some of the ski resort areas which really excited Corbin. Unfortunately his little Texas toes didn't get to touch any snow because all of the "fresh air stops" were in snowless areas.
We started to experience our first train delays on this leg too. All of the power would periodically go off, and our train would just stop. The conductor never really explained what was happening in depth, but at one point outside of Truckee we were sitting on the tracks in the middle of the woods for over an hour so that some things could be checked out. The attendants were great and did everything they could to assuage the frustrations of the passengers. The problems continued all throughout the night too. At one point we were over three hours late, but the conductor made a little bit of that time up, and we only arrived in Grand Junction about 2 hours behind schedule.
We also experienced our first night of sleeping in the coach seats. I am surprised to report that sleeping in coach was very much more comfortable than I expected. We packed our sleeping bag liners for warmth and compactness, which worked really well. I'm a light sleeper, so I was up off-and-on all night, but I did feel pretty rested in the morning. Honestly, sleeping in coach wasn't my favorite thing, but on a trip like this, it is really the best option unless you are a Rockefeller. If we were going all the way from Emeryville to Chicago, paying for the sleeping car accommodations would be well worth it. Since we are breaking our time on the California Zephyr in half, we would essentially have to pay double for the sleeper car so it really isn't feasible.
I was a bit disappointed that we passed over the Great Salt Lake while it was still dark out, but due to the delays, we were able to catch a lovely sunrise over Salt Lake City. We took so many pictures of Utah and Colorado… it was just too much beauty to capture. One of the most shocking things for our Texas brains was seeing all of the frozen rivers!

Road infrastructure in Indonesia is mainly dominated by flexible pavement type. Its construction process, however, has raised concerns in terms of its environment impacts. This study aims to track and measure the carbon footprint of flexible pavement. The objectives are to map the construction process in relation to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, to quantify them in terms of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) as generated by the process of production and transportation of raw materials, and the operation of plant off-site and on-site project. Data collection was done by having site observations and interviews with project stakeholders. The results show a total emissions of 70.888 tonnes CO2e, consisting of 34.248 tonnes CO2e (48.31%) off-site activities and 36.640 tonnes CO2e (51.687%) on-site activities. The two highest CO2e emissions were generated by the use of plant for asphalt concrete laying activities accounted 34.827 tonnes CO2e (49.130%), and material transportation accounted 24.921 (35.155%). These findings provide a new perspective of the carbon footprint in flexible pavement and suggest the urgent need for the use of more efficient and environmentally friendly plant in construction process as it shows the most significant contribution on the CO2e. This study provides valuable understanding on the environmental impact of typical flexible pavement projects in Indonesia, and further can be used for developing green road framework.

"Good rain knows its time right; It will fall when comes spring." (translated by Xu Yuanchong). Unknowingly, drops of spring rain fell on the earth. It was drizzling. Soon, the whole county town was shrouded in a veil of mist and rain.
At the moment, in YuCai Experimental Primary School, the students in Class 6, Grade 2 were having an art class. The teacher, Lin Lifang, was giving them classwork on the platform, "OK. So much for the lesson. Now, everybody please imagine the world under the sea and draw your sea world on the paper, OK?" "OK," the students answered in chorus. Then they bowed their heads to imagine and construct their pictures. Ms. Lin left the platform and walked among the students. Suddenly, she perceived that someone left behind her snuck a peek at her and then bowed his/her head from time to time. So she turned around and found it was Sun Li, a famous troublemaker in the class. Her years of teaching experience said that there was something fishy about him.
Pretending nothing had happened, Ms. Lin crept round behind Sun Li without disturbing him. It turned out that Sun Li was busy with a verbal-exercise book, with his left hand holding a piece of white draft paper as a cover. Ms. Lin frowned and thought: How dare he do math homework in my class? He's challenging my dignity. At this thought, she wrested the paper from Sun Li. Unexpectedly, Sun Li held it so tightly that the paper was torn immediately. Then Sun Li raised his head, frightened. The other students turned to look at them, wondering what had happened.
The next day, when Ms. Lin was preparing the lessons in her office, she heard a voice outside the door, "May we come in?" Then she saw two students pulling Sun Li into her office. "Ms. Lin, the math teacher asked him to fetch his exercise book, but he didn't want to come, so we bring him here." Ms. Lin smiled and said to them, "Thank you! You two go back first. And Sun Li, wait for a minute, please." Then, the two students left. Sun Li looked around and seemed to look for his book. "Take a seat." Ms. Lin pointed at the chair before her. Sun Li suddenly felt a little ashamed, his hand scratching his head, saying, "I … will just stand." Ms. Lin held Sun Li's hand and said, "I'm sorry for the thing yesterday. I shouldn't have lost my temper." Sun Li raised his head, being open-eyed, as if he couldn't believe his ears. And Ms. Lin continued, "Everyone understands crimes of passion. Yesterday I took away your book to keep my dignity as a teacher. What I did was thoughtless and inconsiderate, so I apologize to you." Bowing his head with shame, Sun Li shook his hand to show it was not a big deal. Ms. Lin said, "However, as a student, you should finish your homework on time, shouldn't you?" Then she gave the book back to Sun li. Holding his book, Sun Li raised his head and said seriously, "Ms. Lin, actually, it was my fault. I shouldn't do math homework in art class." Ms. Lin was surprised and moved by these words. Not knowing what to say, she just clapped him on the shoulder.
At noon, when class was over, Ms. Lin was walking in the campus with her handbag, feeling at ease. Suddenly, she heard someone shouting, "See you, Ms. Lin!" She turned back and found it was Sun Li waving to her. In the bright sun, his eyes narrowed and his innocent smile seemed brighter than the sunlight. Ms. Lin also smiled and waved back to him. At that moment, it seemed that all things were frozen: The willow branches were dancing with the wind slightly, bright flowers were in full blossom and Ms. Lin and Sun Li were giving knowing smiles, which formed a most gorgeous scene in the school.
She intended to make a killing from customers, but instead, she was cheated by them. When she practiced being honest, she was approved of and respected by others and saw God's blessings.
