Yes, indeedy that usually works for me, but it seems not on my iPad, as was the case at the time.
Same with phones, in general, which is why I suggested that alternative.
ChrisJ Gotta say, I think you may have a point. Bill B was great and HRVY and his eminently watchable partner were ace. I was in Randall & Aubin the last Saturday before Lockdown 2.0 and Alijaz and Gio were there having lunch. Alijaz is eyewateringly beautiful...and smokes!
Every time I see HRVY's name I'm reminded of this...

Strictly's not rigged, but it's certainly managed. For example, Nicola and Katya had a couple's choice in week 3 because - my theory, obv - the BBC wanted to make sure they could get good marks, to keep them higher up the leader board, and that's easier with a dance for which there are no rules to break. I'm glad they did, because the British voting public have form for being racist cunts on Strictly.
Remember, the only people who see the voting tallies are the producers, who also choose the dances for each person; some dances are much more forgiving than others, so anyone getting a waltz or cha-cha-cha early doors is someone the BBC want to do well, because they're likelier to make mistakes when there's a crowded field and a few more genuinely rubbish dancers who can be eliminated on the grounds that they're the slowest antelope in the pack.

I totally subscribe to your theories NHH. Mrs G will vehemently disagree but I always think the Charleston is a sure fire way to push a couple up the leaderboard though can't find any evidence to back that up.

Absolutely agree with that. If I had time, I could test the theory from the stats by digging and collecting info from the pretty detailed Wikipedia records for past series of Strictly. But my strong feel is that the average scores for Charlestons are a lot higher than, say, the correspoding numbers for cha cha cha.
Never really thought of it like that, but good points NHH and EEG.
Anyways, Bill and Oti's Rappers Delight was one of the most fun bits of telly I've seen in weeks. Tremendous.
I'll be very happy if the plastic man has to keep isolating.
The bloke currently not on Takes Two.
My wife and 10 year old daughter like to watch It Takes Two occasionally. To be fair, in the weekly TV dinner TV rota which little M has drawn up, It Takes Two appears only one day a week, but that's one day too many for me. It'd take a lot more than Rylan's absence to make it watchable for me. I mean, not that it's particularly awful or anything, but life is so short and watching ITT is just such an irredeemable waste of precious time.
That'll shock Mumpo...
Glad Clara's still in it, she's been top. Would have been a travesty if she was in the dance-off this week.
That Blackpool theme seemed to have precious little Blackpool in it. Still, they'll struggle through I'm sure.
Baffled by Shirley complaining about Caroline being in the dance-off when she (Caroline) finished in the bottom two as voted by her (Shirley) and her fellow guests...

Me too in the Rylan fan club - TV, especially live TV, is generally acknowledged to be a lot harder than it looks, and Rylan is one of the ones who not only makes it look easy, but usually gives you the impression he's enjoying doing it, and appears keen for everyone else to have fun too.
He's good showbiz.
Yep, every word of that. That's why he's so good on RSC (which I've only seen about five times, but still). He manages to strike up a genuine conversation and have a laugh with people about mushrooms and who does the washing up in about 10 seconds.
This Rylan thread derailment is also considerably more fun than the Latinx one over the other side.
Hmmm, maybe I should start calling everyone who likes the plastic man a tool...
That's why he's so good on RSC
For a moment there I read "on" as "with the", and had an image of him delivering a new light-hearted camp take on the King Lear role.
Did anyone else think the scores were mostly a bit inflated this week? It was another good week, but didn't wow me as much as the previous had.
Yup, definitely some scoreflation.
Yes, the number of tens has been daft. Like football, a 10/10 performance is near as dammit perfection. Not freaking Jamie frumping it up like a member of Kris Kross.

Revisiting Samsung Galaxy Fold before the release
Samsung never stops to amaze us with it's new latest technological inventions and how it manages to bring out something new everytime. Let's talk about the Samsung Galaxy fold.
Many reviewers claimed to have experienced with a broken screen merely after 2 days on unpacking. Some of those breaks happened because Samsung didn't warn reviewers that a "protective layer" that looks exactly like a removable screen protector is not removable at all, but instead it's a "part of the display structure."
The reviewers sent Samsung the damaged phones in exchange for new replacements, but they're waiting for Samsung to offer an explanation. Samsung still doesn't know, what the cause might be.
Many questions might be arising in people's mind about this new kind of device. There are a thousand things to talk about, the kinds of things that we don't usually need to address when we're talking about plain old smartphones. Which way does the screen fold? Is plastic really durable enough? Is there a gap when it's folded? Is it too heavy? What is the hinge mechanism like? How does the software translate from a small screen to a big screen? Is there a visible crease in the screen? If there is a crease, how noticeable is it, and should we be forgiving of it in the same way we forgive notches?
Samsung isn't canceling or delaying the launch of this $1,980 folding smartphone from its April 26th launch date. But people should at least consider the fact that the phone isn't fully functional or up to our expectations.
Although, there might be a couple of things wrong with the phone, along with the screen breaking, and the crease in the middle, and the big notch, this should be a thing Worth thinking about. Because this might be a start of something new, something big, and something really different, which has never been seen before.

Yes, Timothy Sweo is a real doctor, and yes, he really told Terry Ragland her painful lower back is the result of an incurable condition called ghetto booty.
"He said there's no cure for it, but I could give you something if you're having pain," Ragland told local news outlet WREG.
Ragland, offended by Sweo's use of the term, immediately complained to his office manager. She has since filed a complaint with the Tennessee Department of Health. In an apology letter to Ragland, Sweo explained he was trying to help her understand the diagnosis using "less technical" language.
Bam. Done. That's simple enough for just about anyone to understand. As for diagnosing a patient with ghetto booty, well, "It's not a compliment. It's wrong in every aspect and it's very demeaning," says Ragland.

SNAFU!: Australia is back bombing ISIS but the rationale for stopping is "iffy" at best.
Australia is back bombing ISIS but the rationale for stopping is "iffy" at best.
Thanks to Mercator for the link!
Australia will resume air combat missions over Syria after the Australian Defence Force lifted a temporary suspension initially sparked by Russian threats to shoot down coalition planes.
The defence department declared the suspension on Tuesday after Russia threatened to shoot down any plane from the US-led coalition they spotted flying west of the Euphrates river.
The threat was seen as retaliation for the US downing of a Syrian air force jet on Sunday, as tensions in the region rose.
On Thursday the ADF announced it would resume airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq.
The department has not specified how long the suspension lasted. It did not say if Australian airstrikes had resumed or when or if they would.
Australian Defence Force Chief Mark Binskin said on Wednesday the operations were halted while the Australians examined what was happening in what he had described as a "complex piece of airspace" over Syria.
The defence minister, Marise Payne, said on Wednesday that Australian "force protection is uppermost in our minds" in deciding when to resume missions over Syria.
Hmm. Is this the best that she (the Defense Minister) can come up with as an excuse for the decision to suspend flights?

Q: Update dictionary key with max value I would like to create a dictionary using list of key value pairs. There are duplicate keys and I don't want the key values to be the max value.
L1 = ['a','b','b','d']
L2 = [1,3,2,4]
d = {k:v for k,v in zip(L1,L2)}
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'd': 4}

In the above code, the value for key 'b' is 2, I want it to stay 3 only as that is the max value.

A: Maybe you could put a sort in there too, this way the highest value will be last and will be kept
d = dict(sorted(zip(L1,L2))

A: L1 = ['a','b','b','d']
L2 = [1,3,2,4]
d = {}
for k,v in zip(L1,L2):
    if k not in d or d[k] < v:
        d[k] = v
print(d)

A: You can use itertools.groupby for this: note: I use operator.itemgetter to get the keys/values instead of a lambda or nested for loop
from operator import itemgetter
from itertools import groupby

L1 = ['a','b','b','d']
L2 = [1,3,2,4]
get_k, get_v = itemgetter(0), itemgetter(1)
result = {k: max(map(get_v, g)) for k, g in groupby(zip(L1, L2), get_k)}

A: >>> L1 = ['a','b','b','d']
>>> L2 = [1,3,2,4]
>>> from collections import defaultdict

>>> x =defaultdict(int)
>>> for a, b in zip(L1, L2):
...     if a in x:

Simultaneously energetic and emotionally weighted; Epiphanatic shares his new video for Give It Up
With over ten years of musical experience, spanning across a variety of genres, Wisconsin-based artist Epiphanatic (real name Jody Johnson) is not your average rapper.
The multi-instrumentalist utilizes his skills to craft blistering slices of hip-hop that feel simultaneously energetic and emotionally weighted. His latest single Give It Up is a perfect showcase of his songwriting abilities – it weaves explosive production with carefully considered lyricism.
With his new video for Give It Up, Wisconsin based artist Epiphanatic has established himself as one of hip-hop's most exciting emerging acts.
Throughout the new single, Johnson stomps through an aggressive concoction of boom-bap and old-school, vintage sounding hip-hop to create a sound that's uniquely his own. With textured beats and air-tight vocal delivery, Epiphanatic's music is hard-hitting and completely captivating.
With a string of singles and videos already under his belt, Johnson has spent the past number of years building a reputation for himself in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. With a tenacity that is rare in young artists, Johnson looks set to claim his position atop the global hip-hop scene very soon. If you haven't been paying attention, it's definitely time you started.
These may still be relatively early days for this American artist, but judging by everything we've heard so far, I think we can safely expect plenty more quality tunes from Epiphanatic.
For now, do yourself a favour and watch the video for Give It Up above.

The Guizhou Aircraft Industries Corporation of China (GAIC) says it will soon deliver six FTC-2000 two-seater,advanced fighter-trainer aircraft to the Sudanese Air Force (SAF)interms of a deal signed early in 2015, reports Oscar Nkala.
GAIC director Wang Wenfei told China Aviation News that the FTC-2000 ordered by Sudan is the export version of the supersonic JL-9 trainer, which is widely by the Chinese air force and navy. Apart from Sudan, other African countries, including Nigeria, have expressed interest in acquiring the FTC-2000.
Like many other African air forces, the SAF already operates several Chinese-made aircraft such as the Chengdu F-7 interceptor/strike fighter and Karakorum K8 light attack/trainer jets.
Sudan is the first foreign buyer of the FTC-2000, which is primarily used as a basic and advanced pilot trainer aircraft.
In its primary role, the JL-9/FTC-2000 is capable of training pilots for advanced fighter aircraft such as the J-7, Shenyang J-8, Chengdu/Pakistan Aeronautical Complex JF-17 and the Russian-made Sukhoi Su-27.
To support the secondary combat role, the FTC-2000 is fitted with five hard points to carry fuel tanks and a 23 mm cannon. The trainer variant is powered by a single Guizhou Liyang WP-13 turbo-jet engine to a top speed of Mach 1.5. The engine is equipped with an after-burner.

Costa Rica sells 13 percent less coffee
Costa Rican coffee sales dropped 13 percent due to the coffee rust plague, the World Coffee Organization said.
The figure shows sales from the first seven months of the coffee growing season.
From October 2012 to April 2013, Costa Rica sold 702 million bags of 60 kilos each, compared to $807 million bags during the same period last season.

Home Military A satellite captures a picture of a top-secret US military aircraft
A satellite captures a picture of a top-secret US military aircraft
Military admincp December 15, 2022 0 Comment
At Area 51, Nevada, the real testing of the U.S. military's sixth-generation fighter aircraft appears to have begun, which will replace the F-22.
The secret squirrels of Area 51 appear to have slipped up. A passing commercial satellite seems to have snapped its top-secret next-generation combat aircraft on the tarmac.
Tyler Rogoway of The War Zone was reviewing Planet Labs satellite photos of the high-profile secret site last month when he spotted something out of the ordinary.
The highly classified United States Air Force (USAF) Nevada testing facility is usually especially careful. Air operations are timed during the gaps between Earth observation and surveillance satellite overpasses.
This time, it appears to have been caught wrong-footed.
On the taxiway leading through a massive new hangar was a strange shadow.
It appears to be a translucent 'tent'.
Inside it is the outline of what appears to be an unknown new type of fighter aircraft.
Keep up to date with the day's biggest storie"Area 51 is always a popular spot when it comes to publicly available satellite imagery," Rogoway wrote. "When glancing at daily three-meter resolution images of the base, we noticed the appearance of a roughly delta-shaped blob on the north apron of the large southern hangar."
It stayed there between January 26 and 29, 2022.
Google Earth's most recent uploaded image is from August 2019. And while it shows nothing of interest on the ground, it does offer a crisp view of the mysterious new hangar situated by itself on the southern edge of the facility.
The large new hangar at the center of the new sighting of a strange aircraft at Area 51.
But the recent Planet Labs snaps reveal much more.
"The blob was actually an exotic delta-shaped aircraft under an unenclosed skeleton-like structure just sitting in the middle of the apron," writes Rogoway.
Now the world's military aircraft analysts and enthusiasts are striving to figure out precisely what it is.
The delta-shaped aircraft seen at Area 51
That the United States is racing to build a new combat aircraft is no secret.
The US Navy, in particular, is keen to field a replacement for its much-delayed F-35C stealth strike fighters. Photos from their first-ever operational deployment aboard the USS Carl Vinson reveal them covered in rust with their radar-absorbent skin cracking up.
And, on January 24, one of the ultra-advanced, computer-assisted aircraft crashed on landing – injuring about eight crew members before skidding into the sea. Now the race is on to salvage the $150 million jet from the South China Sea before its technology can be recovered by Beijing.
Now the entire F-35 project is again in doubt. The US Armed Services Committee chair Adam Smith has declared he wants to stop "throwing money down that particular rat hole".
Some 900 design flaws have been designated. Seven of them are classified as "critical".
It's estimated that one in five aircraft are sitting idle with severe engine failure and a lack of spare parts. The entire fleet can't fly faster than the speed of sound for longer than a few seconds because of fears they will break up.
"I would absolutely call the F-35 a lemon," a former US Marine Corps aviation captain declared.
So the appearance of a potential replacement is, in many quarters, a welcome development.
Part of the fix appears to be a return to different aircraft types for the US Navy and Air Force. The "one size fits all" approach of the F-35 seems to have produced compromises that pleased nobody.
The USAF has asked for increased weapons load and range. The US Navy is seeking greater resilience, operational radius and suitability for operations at sea.But highest on the agenda is reliability.
There's no point in having the world's most complex aircraft if it can't get off the ground.
Next generation air dominance fighter
The Planet Labs pictures show an aircraft of roughly comparable size to the large F-15 Eagle interceptor fighters of the 1970s.
That's considerably bigger than an F-35.
And while the frame of the 'tent' that the mystery aircraft is contained within breaks up its shape somewhat, it appears to be a 'delta' wing design with curled wingtips.
That loosely fits the marketing hype from the likes of Lockheed Martin and Boeing about their next-generation fighter concepts.
Most are shown as large, tailless delta wing aircraft. We also know one is in the air.
A Lockheed Martin concept image of its proposed sixth-generation combat fighter.
In September 2020, the US Air Force revealed that a "demonstrator" test aircraft had begun flight testing.
"We've already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world – and we broke records in doing it," said Dr Will Roper, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. "We are ready to go and build the next-generation aircraft in a way that has never happened before."
That implies lessons have been learned from the F-35's massive delays and poorer-than-promised performance.
The US Air Force last year reassured the public that its sixth-generation fighter jet project was underway. "I will just tell you that it is progressing per plan," an official told an air conference. "There's just so much of it that's not able to be discussed in an open forum."
Some clues, however, have since been seen.
Flights of fancy?
Late last year, an F-22 "Raptor" test aircraft was pictured flying covered in a strange mirror-like material. Also last year, an unusual – flowing – airframe shape was spotted outside Lockheed Martin's secret "Skunk Works" advanced aircraft facility.
Meanwhile, military insiders continue to obsess about the potential of artificial intelligence in assisting pilots.
"We're trying to take some of this workload off the pilot. They are human, and they can only do so much," a Raytheon design executive recently said. "As the systems get more and more complex, it becomes very challenging for them."
That's what's on the glossy brochure at least.
Either way, USAF Air Combat Command chief Mark Kelly says a sense of urgency is needed.
"Do I think we're going to field it? Yes. Do I think we're going to build it before our adversaries? Yes. Do I know we are going to build it before them? … I would like to sleep comfortably knowing we've got a really good margin," he said in October.
But the exact nature of the Area 51 aircraft remains uncertain.
Its wings suggest it could also be a high-speed spy plane in a similar vein to the long-retired SR-71 Blackbird. It also could be an attempt to produce a full-sized artificial-intelligence controlled combat drone.
Or, it could be nothing at all. It could just be an elaborate hoax.
"In fact, considering where this happened and the facility's long record of perfection when it comes to hiding everything it needs to from satellites overhead, this would seem far more probable than possible," Rogoway concludes.

As per the course, the FTC slapped the hand of DesignerWare of North East Pennsylvania and the rent-to-own companies. The settlement, announced Tuesday, only requires them to halt using their spy tools, which has been employed on as many as 420,000 rentals.
The software, known as Detective Mode, didn't just secretly turn on webcams. It "can log the keystrokes of the computer user, take screen shots of the computer user's activities on the computer, and photograph anyone within view of the computer's webcam. Detective Mode secretly gathers this information and transmits it to DesignerWare, who then transmits it to the rent-to-own store from which the computer was rented, unbeknownst to the individual using the computer," according to the complaint.
Under the settlement, the companies can still use tracking software on their rental computers, so long as they advise renters, the FTC said. The companies include Aspen Way Enterprises Inc.; Watershed Development Corp.; Showplace Inc., doing business as Showplace Rent-to-Own; J.A.G. Rents LLC, doing business as ColorTyme; Red Zone Inc., doing business as ColorTyme; B. Stamper Enterprises Inc., doing business as Premier Rental Purchase; and C.A.L.M. Ventures Inc., doing business as Premier Rental Purchase.
Claudia Bourne Farrell, an FTC spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview the agency does not have jurisdiction when it comes to criminal offenses. She said the agency, when it believes criminal conduct may have occurred, will forward that to the appropriate agencies. But the agency, she said, has a policy against disclosing when it has done so.
"We don't have criminal authority. We only have civil," she said.
The software installed on the laptops also enables the companies to automatically disable computers of renters behind on monthly payments and to secretly track the computers' whereabouts.
Even more evil, the rental stores would force a fake popup for software registration on computers they rented. The window would not go away, the FTC said, until the computer user typed their contact information, including address, phone number and e-mail. The rent-to-own store would use that information "to try to collect money" from renters in arrears, the FTC said.
In all, private data obtained through the spyware included user names and passwords for e-mail accounts, social media websites and financial institutions. Also snagged were Social Security numbers, medical records, private e-mails to doctors, bank and credit card statements and webcam pictures of children, partially undressed individuals, and intimate activities at home, the FTC said.


My son moved to a new house - not new in the sense of just being built but a house new to him and his wife.
After they had moved all of their furniture and belongings inside and straightened things out a little I sat in their living room and immediately felt comfortable. I thought, "This is a good house filled with happiness."
All buildings have a mood. I love visiting churches and places of worship wherever I travel in the world - even though I don't belong to any organised religion. Lots of churches give an instant feeling of peace and tranquility.
Some people say they see ghosts in their houses or in other buildings who repeat the same thing. These apparitions walk down the same stairs, in the same way or across a room in a certain direction over and over again. Some strong emotion has imprinted this into the house.
Wonder how people feel when they walk into our homes?
Hi Mike. Very interesting... but I get it. My family always loved the beach; everything about the environment. So when I inherited my childhood home my first thought when I entered the house was the ocean. Remnants of good thoughts pervade the thinking and feeling. It didn't hurt to find a stash of sea shells in the basement. So the theme of my rather "country" home is the beach and ocean. I liked this post.
Agree buildings contain "atmospheres". I have felt them most strongly in places where awful things have happened (former mental asylums,prisons turned into museums, the revolutionary tribunal in Paris, a squat for drug addicts) and am convinced the desperation and unhappiness of the people in those places are imprinted in the buildings. I felt physically awful when I visited those places.
Happy places seem to leave a weaker imprint but it is very uplifting when it is felt and I have sometimes smelt flowers even when there were none around.
I think happy places leave just as strong an atmosphere, if not stronger, than unhappy places. Misery isn't stronger that happiness - unless there are more people feeling that way! Great post.
While househunting, I think most people have an idea of what they'd like but often end up with something completely different, purely because a property "spoke" to them. Happy homes certainly exude an atmosphere that can't be explained away.

An Apple vice president who oversaw the company's real estate, including the construction of the new Apple Park campus, is retiring, according to Cupertino city officials.
Dan Whisenhunt announced his retirement last week, and Kristina Raspe, Apple's senior director of real estate and development, was promoted to take his place, said David Brandt, Cupertino's city manager.
"We have a good working relationship with the real estate team at Apple, and we continue to look forward to their cooperation in working with us on their projects as needed," said Piu Ghosh, a principal planner with the city of Cupertino.
Apple did not return a request for comment. Raspe recently updated her LinkedIn account to state that she is the vice president of global real estate and facilities as of March.
Raspe joined Apple in 2013 and previously worked for the University of Southern California, where she oversaw off-campus development as well as preparatory work on campus construction projects as a vice president of real estate development and asset management, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Whisenhunt joined Apple in 2007, according to his LinkedIn page, which has not been updated to reflect his retirement. During Whisenhunt's time at Apple, the company had rapidly expanded, leasing or acquiring a significant amount of real estate outside of its Cupertino headquarters in cities like Sunnyvale and San Jose. The company also built Apple Park, a glamorous new campus for more than 13,000 employees. The campus is capped off with a curved glass "spaceship" headquarters building, originally championed by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
When Apple employees began moving into the spaceship building in January, however, several people suffered head injuries after running into the glass. Apple has since placed black rectangular stickers with slightly rounded corners to prevent people from bumping into the glass walls.

Q: Cursor keys in bash in dtterm don't work as expected I am trying to remap some of my keyboard shortcuts in bash. The problem is that when I try to display key code using Ctrl-V, not all keys work. For example, Typing Ctrl-V, then Home moves the terminal to the top, just as usual. Typing Ctrl-V, then Ctrl shows nothing. Typing Ctrl-V, then left arrow shows ^[OD, typing Ctrl-V, then Ctrl-left arrow shows the same thing.
I am trying to remap Home and End to move cursor to the beginning or end of line, and Ctrl-arrows to jump words. I am in Solaris, using DtTerm.
SOLUTION:
.Xdefaults:
Dtterm*DtTerm*Translations: #override \n\
<KeyPress>osfBeginLine: string("0x1B")string("[1~") \n\
<KeyPress>osfEndLine:   string("0x1B")string("[4~") \n\
Ctrl<KeyPress>osfLeft:  string("0x1B")string("OC") \n\
Ctrl<KeyPress>osfRight: string("0x1B")string("OD")

.inputrc:
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
"\eOD": forward-word
"\eOC": backward-word

A: Physical terminals didn't generate different code sequences for CTRL used with arrows. Terminal emulators have followed suit as they are trying to behave in the same way as their physical ancestors.  Depending on the terminal emulator you are using, you may be able to define your own sequences.  For instance, I've
XTerm*VT100*Translations:   #override \
    Ctrl<Key>Prior:scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
        <Key>Prior:string(0x1B)string([5~)\n\
    Ctrl<Key> Next:scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\
        <Key>Next:string(0x1B)string([6~)\n\
    <Key>Delete:string(0x1B)string([3~)\n\
    Ctrl<Key>Home:string(0x1B)string(CH~)\n\
    Ctrl<Key>End:string(0x1B)string(CE~)\n\
    <Key>Home:string(0x1B)string(H~)\n\
    <Key>End:string(0x1B)string(E~)\n\
    <Key>BackSpace:string(0x7F)\n\
    Ctrl<Key>Left:string(0x1B)string(CL~)\n\
    Ctrl<Key>Right:string(0x1B)string(CR~)\n\
    Ctrl<Key>Up:string(0x1B)string(CU~)\n\
    Ctrl<Key>Down:string(0x1B)string(CD~)\n

in my ressource file for XTerm.

A: I've not used dtTerm in many years. You may be able to get it to work by setting both the keypad mode and cursor key mode to "Application mode" (found under Terminal -> Options).
If that doesn't work then you will probably have to go down the Xresources route, but it
strikes me that the Home key (like the escape key) has a special meaning to DtTerm (ala OSF/Motif), and this needs extra work to get it to play nicely.
Apparently using #override in Translations is not 'officially supported', but as a hack it works.
You will need to find what keymapping are presently in place by running dtTerm from shell and then issuing a ShiftCtrl* to get dtTerm to dump it's keymap (which will appear on stdout on the shell that ran the dtTerm). * is the key on your numpad (sometimes known as KP_Multiply) when talking in terms of X Key bindings.
I imagine the keymapping dtTerm will assign will be something like osfBeginLine.
Next you need to get the actual key sequence you want to get (home key) by using something like xev. As an example my home key under my setup is keysym 0xff50.
KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x3600001,
    root 0x102, subw 0x0, time 643678606, (78,90), root:(1578,578),
    state 0x0, keycode 110 (keysym 0xff50, Home), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Next you will need to edit your ~/.Xdefaults and add something like:
Dtterm*DtTerm*translations:#override\n\
:<KeyPress>osfBeginLine: string("0xff50")

Then run dtaction ReloadResources, which should source your .Xdefaults file.
With a bit of luck you should get the mapping, and then be able to do your key binding as usual. If not, you may have to muck about in the land of virtual binding of Motif, which I remember being a gigantic pile of spaghetti.

It was edited by Lucy Lloyd and contained a small selection of the many thousands of pages of |xam and !kun texts that she and Wilhelm Bleek recorded in the 1870s and 1880s in Cape Town, South Africa. The book was titled Specimens of Bushman folklore and was dedicated to 'all faithful workers'. In many ways it owes its existence to the courage of ||kabbo, a prisoner released from the Breakwater Convict Station, who sacrificed the freedom of his final years to teach Bleek and Lloyd his language. To commemorate the publication of this remarkable work we an invitation waas circulated to those who have been inspired by the book and the|xam and !kun texts it contains, to those who have researched and made use of the Lloyd and Bleek archive and to those whose work, cognate though not directly related to this book, reflects the same spirit of research that has given a voice to ideas that would otherwise have remained unknown.
We are currently planning a publication for late 2012 that will reflect both the diversity and spirit of the conference, with some full-length papers and some shorter papers.
Listen to Derek Gripper's guitar performance – Spore by die bek van 'n ystervarkgat, performed during the conference's spectacular sit-down supper in Hiddingh Hall.
– Nigel Crawhall: Understanding the !Ui-Taa language family's sociolinguistic history in South Africa: putting the |xam informants in context.

In preparation for our first home visit with our adoption case worker, I cleaned the house like never before. I didn't know that she would even look in any other rooms besides the living room, but in case she did - everything was squeaky clean!
On November 16, we had our first home visit interview. We finally met our case worker and she began really getting to know us beyond the paperwork. She asked tons of questions, about our marriage and each other's personalities, Hampton's job and schedule, and a little bit about our thoughts on adoption and parenting. We also talked a lot about our faith, since we are working with a Christian agency. It was neat to be able to describe how God has called us to be parents and adoption is simply another way to grow our family. We also talked briefly about the girls and the grieving process, and how that might affect or influence our adoption decisions.
The best part of the interview was just getting to know our case worker. She was wonderful and made us feel comfortable about the whole process. She reassured us that she was going to be just as urgent with our case as we wanted, so that was a relief as well.
We also talked briefly about our "preferences" for the baby, which is also one of the first questions we get asked when we tell someone we are adopting. At this point, we have no preferences - this means our baby could be a boy or girl, of any race, and may have some special needs. Some of this will be part of the discussion with the birthmom, but more on that in a later post! Ultimately, we know that God knows our future children and that gives me peace about the whole thing.
After this first visit, our case worker told us about an educational meeting that was mandatory, which was scheduled for - yes, you guessed it - December 7! We almost had an RSVP goofup and would have had to wait until February, but in the end it all worked out and that's where we were on Friday!
It's neat to rehash all of this process here, to write about each step again and to see it in hindsight. God has blessed us so much in this process and I'm so glad we can share it with you all!
Next time: details about the educational meeting and our individual interviews!


Here we have a custom PHP/HTML based design. With this type of design, possibilities are endless. Any type of functionality can be implemented. Downside of custom designs is that it takes a much longer time to create and publish those types of websites, and generally are more expensive than WordPres web designs.

Ive got a long day ahead of me and I'd like it to go by as fast as possible. Would that be so much to ask? I don't think it really is. Maybe I want to get home at the end of the day, sit down, have a beer, and relax. But that never really seems to work out. And even if I do get to do as I please the ride there is one hell of a bumpy one.
Wednesdays are my long days. I'm up at 6:30, in class by 8 and I'm fighting to stay awake while fumbling with test tubes. Biology lab is first on the agenda and what better to do when you are half asleep than play with chemicals and a spectrophotometer. On top of all that it never seems to fail that the one conducting the lab, a student teacher, doesn't really inform much on how one should conduct the lab in the first place. That leaves myself and six other people in my group looking at each other mumbling "what do we do?" As I try to strain my brain the others seem to have grasped what we need to accomplish. So I merely hold on for the ride.
Biology is over and right about now my mind is on food because the genius in me doesn't eat when I wake up but instead does so after driving half an hour to school and sitting through a whole hour and a half class. Anyways my stomach is grumbling and I'm walking to the library to get started on my procrastination. You know how doors these days seem to have these buttons that have handicap signs on them? They open the door for you. Apparently at my school these buttons are for the lazy students who wander around campus. Anyways, I proceed to open the first door into the library and I notice a girl walking probably 10 feet behind me. Being the nice person I am I wait for her to get to the door as I hold it. But in this case I should have just left it to close due to the fact that this girl hits the handicap button even though she sees me holding the door for her. I think to myself "are you serious?" And with a less than polite, sleepish tone she says "thanks." At that point I dropped the door and proceeded to open the second just enough to slip myself through. Why should I be polite when this girl has super powers and can walk through doors without even touching them?
I recently found out that I talk to myself. From driving to parking, to walking to my first class I'm pretty sure I talked to myself at least five times. Example: As I drove to get some lunch I noticed that there were rain drops appearing on my windshield and repeated to yell "DON'T ****ING DO IT." I have a three hour break in between classes. At this time I get work done but I also go out get lunch, and then I skate. On Tuesday night I was really excited to skate the next day (this could attest to my anger towards the rain.) So I'm getting my lunch and I keep looking out the window. It seems to be holding off for the moment but it's only mocking me. And of course in the end it starts to rain harder as I get back in my car. What a fantastic day so far right?
Well now it's time for probably my favorite class of the day. Advanced essay workshop is the name of the class but I just refer to it as the review class. Class starts at three and im usually at my job any other day at 2ish. The class being an hour and fifteen minutes it goes till 4:20. From there I rush to get back to my home town and get into work before five. This adds stress to my already stressful day. But whatever it's okay. Work goes well like usual and I don't get super annoyed at my coworkers who at points seem to have no brains.
The end of my day ended well and seemed to line up with my plans. I enjoyed a beer as I watched TV. Overall the end of my day went pretty well with a nice relaxing couple of hours before I go to bed and wait to do it all again the next day.
My luck didn't seem to end as I slept Wednesday night but instead rolled over to Thursday morning. As I arrived at school I stayed in my car for about ten minutes and listened to music. I notice a woman, probably in her late thirties or early forty's, start to walk past my truck. But instead of proceeding to walk past this women puts her coffee cup on my hood and riffles through her bag. "What the hell do you think you're doing" falls out of my mouth as I stare blankly. But she seems to be leaving now and its whatever im not going to get upset. But it doesn't stop there. This woman now picks up her cup walks two feet and puts it back down on my hood. This time I didn't keep quite but instead turned my music up as loud as it could go. A frightened and very funny embarrassed face overtakes the women. She notices me staring at her as I sit in my car. It just seems that these things always happen to me. I laugh about it now but it was very ridiculous at the moment. Anyways the women proceeded to walk about all embarrassed I hope as I stayed in my car thinking how someone could not check if anyone is in a car they are using as a coaster.

Mark Seawell's extradition still pending in court
In another extradition attempt, the case against Mark Seawell, wanted in the United States on drug-related charges, has been adjourned yet again, following a medical emergency which impeded attorney Arthur Saldivar from appearing on his behalf. Seawell has been languishing in prison since being detained a few years ago and today Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin threatened to strike out the matter should he reappear in court without legal representation. Since his detention, Sewell's attorney maintained that the matter is one of habeas corpus; however, the chief justice told the court this morning that he does not see any exigency on the part of Seawell's attorney, especially since he has been on remand for over two years. Present in court on behalf of the attorney general was Magali Perdomo. The case has been adjourned to August first.

When is the Best Time to Replace Roof Shingles?
Perhaps you've glanced up at your roof recently and noticed things aren't looking exactly like they used to. You're worried that some of the shingles are no longer in the best condition, but is now the right time to get those shingles replaced?
The best time to get any work done on your roof is when you've planned ahead for it. Ideally – you'd be able to prepare to make sure you have the best weather conditions for the installation process, and have taken the time to research the best pricing on materials and labor.
If you have the luxury of planning ahead for getting your shingles replaced, we recommend booking your roofing contractor for the fall or early spring. Fall is the best time to replace roof shingles. The more mild the weather conditions, the better the roofing contractor can work – with the least amount of risk involved.
There's also technical reasons for preferring the milder months to replace roof shingles. When shingles are replaced, they need time and warmth to form a thermal seal – which will thoroughly protect your home from the different elements. However, life doesn't always work out the way we plan. You may be looking at the roof and thinking something needs to be done, even if it is mid-winter or the height of summer. Can you still get your shingles replaced in these weather conditions?
Before you do anything, we recommend you schedule a roof inspection with a professional roofing contractor. This will help you get a firm grasp on the situation and the next steps that need to be taken. A & J Reliable offers free roof inspections during which we will thoroughly inspect your shingles and all aspects of your roofing structure.
If you notice any of the warning signs listed above, we recommend contacting a professional roofing contractor to help determine the extent of any damage. An inspection will show whether there's any underlying damage to the roof below the shingles. The contractor will help you decide whether you need to replace your shingles entirely or if there is a possibility for them to just be repaired.
Asphalt shingles can be patched (and re-patched) over the course of their life, but it may be better for the health of your roofing foundation to simply replace the shingles. A roof inspection will allow the roofing contractor to provide clear and honest advice on the possible options available with the current condition of your shingles.
Can you replace shingles in the winter?
Preparing to work on a roof in winter can involve extra work for your roofer. For example, they may need to clear snow and ice from the roof before starting work. There's also less daylight hours for your roofers to work in. Make sure you factor in more time required to replace shingles. You should also be prepared for any delays, as your roofer will be unable to continue work if the weather takes a drastic turn. We suggest working with your contractor to try and schedule your shingle replacement around the weather forecast as much as possible.
What temperature is too cold to replace roof shingles?
Asphalt shingles are best installed at temperatures between 40-85 degrees. While there are some precautions your roofer can take, the risk when working in colder conditions is that shingles will break. As mentioned above, it is also more difficult for shingles to seal in colder weather. Depending on conditions, your roofer may need to hand seal the shingles, which will mean more work. Consult your roofer about the best options for working in sub-40 temperatures.
What temperature is too hot to replace roof shingles?
Given the difficulty in replacing shingles in the winter, you may think summer would be a great time to replace your shingles. However, the ideal temperature range for replacing shingles is between 40-85 degrees. Similar to colder weather conditions, shingles can also be difficult to work with in hot temperatures. Some common issues include: shingles sticking together, shingles damaging more easily, and shingles tearing during installation. This is why we recommend shingle repair and installation work in early spring or the fall, when temperature conditions are mild.
Whatever the time of year you end up needing roof work done, working with a professional roofing contractor will ensure the work is done quickly and to a high standard. A & J Reliable serves New York and New Jersey — and has extensive experience of working on roofs in every season. Contact us today to learn more about our services.

Dr. Myrna Pearce: Learning is Key to Dentistry
Dr. Myrna Pearce graduated from the University of British Columbia's dentistry program in 1985, but she had by no means completed her education as a general dentist.
Just nine months after graduating, she took a practice management course for one and a half years, which cost a month's gross salary.
"It was worth every cent of it because it taught me things about running an office, about delegating, about setting up protocols, and about organization which have just been foundational throughout my practice," Dr. Pearce says.
Education has been a key part of Dr. Pearce's work as a dentist, and she believes staying abreast of new technologies and techniques is essential.
"There are so many aspects of dental practice that are constantly changing," she says. "In dentistry, the new technology is phenomenal."
For instance, her clinic, On Track Dental in Port Coquitlam, recently acquired a digital scanner, meaning they no longer have to put putty in patients' mouths to take impressions – they can take an image and email it right to the lab.
Dr. Pearce has also focused on broadening her abilities, primarily through joining hands-on dentistry study clubs where dentists learn by working together on real patients.
"Your peers are there, they watch you work, and you have a mentor. You have a chance to learn things that you never would have learned before, and that's how I started surgery," she says.
She joined the Vancouver Oral Implant Surgical Study Club in 1986, following a course she'd taken on implants.
"The members of the Study Club found that our skills, confidence and expertise increased exponentially," Dr. Pearce says. "It's been a wonderful part of my life."
In 2010, she began the process of gaining credentials for all of her implant training. She now has Diplomate status with the American Board of Oral Implantology and will be inducted as a Fellow of the American Association of Implant Dentistry in October of 2017.
Dr. Pearce take courses from the Kois Center, run by Dr. John C. Kois in Seattle. The centre focuses on a science-based approach to dentistry and uses intensive evidence-based research to develop protocols for dental treatment.
Dr. Pearce believes that it is essential for those in the dentistry field to be up to date in their knowledge and techniques.
"As a general dentist, you're dealing with a whole range of aspects of dentistry, as well as the general health and well-being of the patient," she says. "We treat patients with teeth, not just teeth attached to patients!"
On Track Dental is at Suite 2203, 2850 Shaughnessy St. in Port Coquitlam. For more information on Dr. Myrna Pearce and the services the clinic provides, contact them by email or check out the On Track Dental website.

Mark was born and raised in Los Angeles, where he grew up exploring the mountains that flanked his childhood home. He went on to complete his bachelors at Penn State University. At Penn State he conducted research focusing on the behavioral ecology and physiology of reptiles. During this time Mark realized his passion for natural history collections and specimen-based research, and KU was a natural fit.
Mark is interested in describing and explaining the biodiversity that we see in nature. He prefers to use an integrative approach combining field work, specimen based research, ecology, and natural history to explore when, where, and why we see diversification.
Mark loves spending time in the field. His undergraduate work was focused in North America, where he spent most of his field seasons in Alabama, California, and Pennsylvania. Mark has also conducted fieldwork in Mexico, Panama, and Myanmar. He is extremely excited to begin work in the Philippines with his advisor Rafe Brown.


This instructable is a quick modification for drill drivers done at Techshop that will help the drill bit driver to seat into a screw head better so you can avoid stripping out the heads of your screws. The taper (point) on a driver bit sometimes gets in the way of it seating snugly into the flat bottomed screw head. As always start with the correctly sized driver for screw you are using.
Load the driver bit into your cordless drill.
Turn the disc sander on and then using the table to rest the drill on, hold the drill at a 90 degree angle to the disc sander face and carefully flatten the point off of the driver end.
Inspect your work and test fit your drill bit driver. If some of the metal burrs get in the way of a good fit, just file them away with a metal file and then enjoy frustration free screwing!
I have read in a book once that modifying the end of a tool with a grinder will leave you with a undesirable change in the metal do to the heat accumulated during the process. What was suggested was that you use a hand file instead so as to avoid the heat build up there by maintaining the hardened edge of the tool. Good post none the less.
1) slot the screw head with a Dremel and cutoff wheel.
2) Get a product called Screw Medic (basically emery dust in oil - like valve grinding compound). Put a little on the driver tip, gives more traction.
3) Squirt Rem Oil or Pblaster or WD40 on the screw head. Wait a moment. put the driver in the head and tap sharply with a hammer on top of the head. Then, TIGHTEN the screw slightly to break loose and then loosen.
4) Look for "anti-camout" bits from those tool-store-in-a-trucks. These have teeth cut in them so they tend to stay in as you extract the screw.
To entirely avoid all this trouble why not use Robertson (square head or square recess screws) in the first place?
Check Robertson screws on Google to see their many advantages.
I have a set of three Robertson screw drivers that have been used for over 50 years and still hold the screw securely in any position. The tips show no signs of wear. Phillips screwdrivers self destruct in a relatively short time.
They are ideal for use in power screw drivers or drills. One hand is always free as there is no need to hold the screw.
They have never damaged a screw head.
They are colour coded, red green and black for the original three sizes of head recesses available. There are now other sizes each having its own colour code.
Phillip's head failures led the way towards the invention of square drive and Torx head screws...what an improvement!
Well, Phillips screw drive was designed to limit the torque that could be applied by camming out, yet still be able to be installed by automated equipment. This was done because early equipment didn't have any inherent torque limiting features, probably due to expense.
Because it was so successful, it became the de facto standard, even in applications where the cam out feature is undesirable.
Ease of manufacture and not ease of maintenance usually governs screw choices in design. That was doubly true back in the day when factories were almost the only places that had powered drivers. I think it was Henry Ford that first widely adopted the phillips, head precisely because it sped up production so much.
These days, torq limiting in maintenance is almost always signaled by a regular/single-slot screw. Those are heck to put in during manufacture but you really have to work at them to over tighten them.
The days of phillips head are clearly numbered. Despite the cost, I have begun to go out of my way to buy square or torx head screws in my own work simply because they are so much easy to work with and way more reliable to remove. I believe everyone should try the new styles out if they haven't already.
In the past, I have flattened a bit by simply chucking it in a drill and then running the drill with the bit pressed against a grinding surface e.g. sandpaper, an immobile grind stone, metal file etc.
If you do find yourself with a stripped screw like the one in the first photo, a square drive bit usually a #2 will actually fit snugly because when the phillips strips out, it leaves a diamond shaped or square hole.
I am ashamed to say I never thought of that until one day I accidentally chucked a square bit while removing a stripped phillips and it came right out. *Sigh* Hate to think how many man hours I blew over the years not realizing that.
damn good point about the square hole! Never even thought about it myself.
The disc sander is standard equipment at TechShop. The author clearly indicated that this was a technique done at TechShop, so using the available equipment makes sense.
I was just being humorous. I was amused at using such a large and powerful tool for such a small task. Of course, if it's the tool sitting right there, then it makes practical sense but the juxtaposition was funny nevertheless.
Nice Idea! But, I'm not sure if I'd be willing to sacrifice a drillbit for it though... I'll keep this in mind next time I have a stripped screw!
Look at the local pawn shop, the sell sockets and probably replacement bits dirt cheap. I have found craftsman sockets for $1.00.
You should run the drill/driver when holding it against the sander/grind stone. This will give you a squarer finish with hopeful no need to do any filing at all.
the metal on the tip looks blue, i think you might've messed with the tempering, do you find it harder or softer?
Best solution is to stop using philips and pozi fasteners. The philips was designed to cam out and the pozi doesnt do much to correct it.
I wont buy fasteners other than square or metric hex drive for my personal use. IMO its a shame that torx didnt get more use on fasteners since its the most superior one.
Stop stripping screw heads by throwing out that cordless drill and using an impact driver instead--c'mon, all the cool kids are doing it!

In the last 7 days, the Government have introduced new measures to protect renters.
As the coronavirus crisis has worsened, a growing number of renters have got in touch with us with worries about paying their rent and staying safely in their home.
Earlier this month, we set out how the Government could protect renters, including banning evictions and supporting those who had lost income to pay their rent. Since then, over 2,400 renters and supporters wrote to their MP, hundreds took action on Twitter, and renters made headlines. And we won - the Government committed to two key policies which will protect renters affected by COVID-19 - a suspension of evictions, and an increase in housing benefit.
Eviction ban: On 18 March, the Government announced they would bring in a 'complete ban on evictions'. On Monday 23 March, a leaked copy of the legislation highlighted that this was not the case: the Government were not stopping evictions already in progress, and they were only extending the notice period from 2 months to 3. Following harsh criticism from renters, unions, charities and legal experts, on Thursday 26 March, the Government U-turned and suspended all eviction cases in the courts system, meaning the ban will apply to almost all renters*, and no one will face eviction for three months. This will be reviewed after 3 months.
Housing benefit: On Friday 20 March, the Government announced that it would increase local housing allowance, so that it covers the cheapest 30% of rented homes. LHA has not been linked to rents since 2012, so has been covering less and less of renters' costs, making housing unaffordable for many, particularly in the London and the South East. Housing campaigners have long called for an increase in housing benefit, and this measure will help many renters with the cost of rent.
But there's more to be done.
A ban on evictions for three months and an increase in housing benefit are important steps. But many renters are still getting in touch with us with worries about paying their rent. Without additional support, thousands will be facing eviction for rent arrears in June when the ban ends. The five-week wait for Universal Credit (which includes housing benefit) will push renters into arrears before their first payment, and in many cases it won't even cover the rent. People are facing long waits even to apply for benefits, and are worried about being left without money for rent and essentials. We also know that unscrupulous landlords are threatening renters with illegal eviction.
That's where you come in. At Generation Rent, we're campaigning for the Government to go further, and we need renters and people like you to help us make the case. With your help, we will make sure that renters' voices are heard: by politicians, by the media, by landlords and by the public. If you're worried about rent arrears, eviction or anything else as a result of coronavirus, we want to hear from you - report your landlord or tell us about your experience here. Will you join our movement for change? Join the campaign to help us make the case for greater protections so that no one faces debt or eviction.

*Lodgers are not covered by the Protection from Eviction Act in the same way as tenants, property guardians and people in temporary accommodation, so are not protected by the suspension of court proceedings.
