Assignments for Last of the Mohicans (1826)
Note on reading: The Last of the Mohicans is not only a "classic" but also was the United States's first international bestseller of a novel, which means that it has always been a very popular book that average educated people can read. Don't disgrace your intelligence by resorting to Cliff's Notes or other such consumer-trash. They "dumb down" everything. Many students have trouble getting started, but when they get the hang of Cooper's prose they find they've stretched their reading abilities, and he writes great action even as he deals with major intellectual and social problems that we are still working out.
The Problem of Names. Cooper writes in his preface to Mohicans, "The greatest difficulty with which the student of Indian history has to contend, is the utter confusion that pervades the names." Correspondingly, the greatest difficulty for a first-time reader of this text is how many ways Cooper can refer to a single character. Here are some different names that can apply to a single character--but don't be surprised if some are left out.
Hawkeye, Leatherstocking, Long Rifle, La Longue Carabine, Natty Bumppo, the scout
Chingachgook, the Great Snake, Le Gros Serpent
Uncas, The Bounding Elk, Le Cerf Agile
Cora Munro, the dark one
Alice Munro, the fair one
Magua, the Cunning Fox, Le Renard Subtil
David Gamut, the psalmist, identified by his pitch-pipe; associated with the Biblical David, esp. when he trades his musical instrument for weapons like rocks. Compare to Ichabod Crane.
Tamenund, a historical Indian leader (a Delaware?), after whom "Tammany Hall" in New York politics was named.
Genre of The Last of the Mohicans
"historical novel"--the novel is set in the location and time of a famous, decisive, or dramatic event or movement in history. For instance, Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities and Dumas's The Man in the Iron Mask are set primarily in Paris during the French Revolution.
"historical romance"--usually the same, but "romance" often means that the plot is more highly adventurous and amorous, and that the historical reality fades in importance relative to the romance.
Characterization: usually the leading characters are fictional, while fringe or background characters are recognizable from history. For instance, in Last of the Mohicans:
completely fictional characters: Cora Munro, Alice Munro, Duncan Heyward, Magua, Hawkeye, Chingachgook,
Historical Settings:
Time written: 1826 (early Romantic period, a generation after American Independence)
Time set: 1750s, during the French and Indian War, the major American conflict before the War for Independence in the 1770s.
Place of setting: mostly Northern New York State, near the Great Lakes
Cooperstown, home of the Baseball Hall of Fame
(Cooperstown is named for the author Cooper's father, William Cooper, a Revolutionary War soldier who received the land as a grant for service.)

Indian groups, French & English alliances, and historical setting
Two main Indian language / culture groups in the eastern Woodlands of North America: the Algonquians and the Iroquois.
Chingachgook's and Uncas's tribe is the Lenni Lenape, a.k.a. the Delawares (from modern-day Delaware and Pennsylvania), but ultimately they derive from the Mohegans or Mohicans who earlier lived near (and cooperated with) the Pilgrims in Massachusetts. In Cooper's view, these are "good Indians" who get along with the British without giving up their Indian ways. All of these Indians are Algonquians, the large language group along the Atlantic coast.
(Pocahontas was an Algonquian, for instance. Plus there really was a historic Indian leader named "Uncas" who formed alliances with the Pilgrims in the 1600s but refused to convert to Christianity or to allow missionaries to visit his tribe. See pp. 332-33 in The Heath Anthology. Near the end of Last of the Mohicans, which is set in the 1760s, when the very old Indian leader named Tamenund hears our Uncas's voice, he thinks that the earlier Uncas has returned and that the old Indians live again.)
Magua is a Huron, but he has been expelled from his tribe and now runs with the Mohawks, Mingos, or Macuas, who are all associated with the Iroquois language group that live around the Great Lakes of North America. In Cooper's view, these are "bad Indians" because they're helping the French, though by the end of the book some of the "good" English-loving Algonquians are allied with the "bad" French-loving Iroquois—Cooper comments several times how the white conquerors have confused the Indians' relationships.
The historical setting of all this conflict over whether the Indians join up with the French or the English is, of course, the "French and Indian War," which took place in North America about 20 years before the American Revolution. So Cooper's novel is set about two generations before his own time, but it's dealing with issues that are still with the United States after the American Revolution.
Movies of The Last of the Mohicans
The movie titled The Last of the Mohicans that appeared in 1992 had good-looking actors, the Indian activist Russell Banks as Chingachgook, some well-realized historical settings, and some stirring music.
Be aware, though, that the movie is only indirectly based on Cooper's novel. In fact, if you look at the credits to the 1992 movie, they acknowledge that its screenplay is based on the screenplay for a 1936 movie, also titled The Last of the Mohicans, which was written by John Philip Dunne.
In both of these movies Hawkeye is changed from a middle-aged man with no romantic interest in the ladies, to a young heart-throb in love with Cora. In the process, the title character, Uncas, "the last of the Mohicans," is moved off center-stage, and the interest of his relationship with Cora (see below) is lost. Instead, in the 1936 and 1992 movies Uncas is reduced to a teenage hunk and paired off with Alice, who in the book belongs with Duncan Heyward. The character of David Gamut disappears from these movies, though he's no great loss compared to the lost opportunity—even in the 90s!--of pairing the Indian Uncas with the mixed-blood Cora.
The film version of Last of the Mohicans that is most faithful to the original novel is a silent film from the 1920s that retains the original Uncas-Cora pairing and keeps Hawkeye the same age as Chingachgook.
Cora, Gender, and the American Gothic Secret
Cora is the most interesting voice or figure in Last of the Mohicans, despite many readers' dismissal of Cooper as a sexist or macho author. Cora's sister Alice is a "damsel in distress," but Cora, by reasons of birth and Euro-American ideology, can't fit into that category. Pay close attention to chapter 16, where Cora's mixed background is indicated (however allusively and indirectly).
If the romance involves crossing borders, borders have already been crossed in Cora's past. As a romantic heroine, she continues to cross boundaries in terms of the expectations of her gender. Yet she also upholds some values traditionally associated with feminine gender.
Cooper's Alternative (Tragic) Narrative of American Race Relations
Given the antagonism, separatism, violence, and unequal power relations that the Captivity and Slave Narratives represent, it's important to observe that Cooper outlines, however vaguely, an alternative vision of American race relations. The relationship between Uncas and Cora is so subtle or understated that some readers deny that it's even there, but the possibility of an amorous relationship between an American Indian man and a European/African-American like Cora cannot be ignored. It suggests an alternative to the standard American ideology, in which the races are pure, permanent, and separate, despite the fact that a great deal of racial crossing or mixing has always occurred. (However, Cooper kills off the possibility.)
The Wilderness Gothic
In the traditional European gothic romance, an ancient house or castle is the dark site of certain wrongs or sins that have been committed in the past. A newcomer to the house often stirs up these ghosts, which often arise from past disputes about ownership or lineage.
When Cora and Alice enter the forest, they are like the heroine entering the haunted castle--spirits of lust and revenge are excited, most explicitly among the American Indians, particularly Magua.
As in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," the natural landscape assumes the gothic functions of the castle, especially in terms of secret hiding places and places where blood has been spilled.
Also, the value-laden gothic symbols of light and dark as good and evil are also complicated by Cooper's exploration of the light and dark of American race
Hawkeye, Chingachgook, and Uncas as Romantic Knights of the Forest
These guys are like the knights of the medieval romance, amusing themselves by hunting until an opportunity comes along to help ladies in distress. Pay attention, however, to the ways Cora both inspires and controls their knightly impulses and restores some common sense. Duncan Heyward also appears as a knight, at least in a dream. In any case, he's "an officer and a gentleman," to connect to a later-day romance.
Romance + "Captivity Narrative"
Last of the Mohicans (the novel and the movies) uses a romance narrative, which can be recognized through all the quests, captivities, pursuits, and rescues--much like a medieval romance of knights and adventurers, or like Star Wars now. Most interesting for American literary history, Cooper combines this old-fashioned European romance with a home-grown American genre: the "captivity narrative," in which a white person (frequently a woman) is captured by—and must be rescued from—the Indians.
Captivity narratives are one of the first and most popular American genres of literature. Hundreds of factual and semi-fictional captivity narratives were written before Last of the Mohicans--note, in our anthology, the captivity narratives of Mary White Rowlandson (p. 340) and John Williams (449), and many of you already know (at least through the Disney movie) of the captivity of John Smith by Pocahontas's father Powhatan (pp. 184, 186). More recently, movies like The Searchers, Little Big Man, and Dances with Wolves fit this category.
Captivity narratives (and their allied form, the slave narrative) are considered one of America's unique contributions to world literary genres, but notice how easily it fits into the dynamics of romance, both material and spiritual: a human is restrained or imprisoned but yearns to break such barriers; or, from the outside, such a person must be "saved."
In fact, Last of the Mohicans contains two captivity narratives, one after the episode at Glenns Falls, the other after the fall of Fort William Henry.


Although we primarily design and publish board games our team envisioned one more project path. Draconic playing cards will be the first of hopefully many thematic playing card decks. We decided to give absolute creative freedom to our artists.
Dragons have always fascinated people around the world. They are proud mythical creatures; dangerous and fierce. But they can also be beautiful and elegant. The deck features 52 cards and 3 jokers. All the cards are hand drawn by Valentina Barić.
Valentina has always been fascinated with dragons and you can only imagine our excitement when she approached us with her desire to create a deck of cards with her twist on dragons.

Background & Objective: Considering the possible risks of performing endoscopy training on patients, the use of a moulage prior to training seems reasonable. The aim of this study was to evaluate residents' rate of satisfaction with the training process and their ability in performing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy using gastric moulage prepared in Sina Hospital, Iran.
Methods: This study was conducted on 20 residents of the endoscopy ward at Sina Hospital from September 2012 to September 2013. The endoscopy training program consisted of 3 steps of training with gastric moulage, observation, and training on human subjects. The present educational development plan was evaluated through studying the 2 criteria of residents' satisfaction and ability. The satisfaction of residents with the endoscopy training course was evaluated by a self-report questionnaire. The residents' ability in performing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was evaluated by measuring the time of reaching the gastro-esophageal junction and pyloric valve.
Results: The reliability and validity of the self-report questionnaire were 64% (0.60-0.89) and 78% (0.12-0.95), respectively. Over 90% of residents agreed with the items of the self-report questionnaire. The highest rate of agreement belonged to the item that interpreted the effect of this method on lowering residents' anxiety in performing endoscopy (100%). The mean ± standard deviation of time of reaching the gastro-esophageal junction and pyloric valve were 162.0 ± 13.54 and 272.8 ± 13.75 seconds, respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that training residents using gastric moulage prepared in Sina Hospital was associated with residents' satisfaction and the successful obtaining of the endoscopy skill.

After South African President Resigns, Country Looks to Future With Hope
Jacob Zuma was a charismatic leader who always seemed to be embroiled in controversy.
After more than eight years in office, Jacob Zuma resigned as president of South Africa on Wednesday night following widespread rejection of his rule by the government and electorate, according to the New York Times.
Fellow African National Congress Party member and deputy president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has been voted in by the parliament to succeed Zuma until the next national election is held in 2019.
Zuma's departure caps, at least for now, the political career of a hugely controversial figure whose anti-apartheid activism and populist roots were overshadowed by graft and cronyism, according to the BBC.

Take Action: Call on the Commonwealth to Tackle Gender Inequality, Poverty and Disease
Zuma rose to prominence alongside Nelson Mandela as a staunch opponent of apartheid, the BBC notes, and his humble roots meshed with his everyman charisma to propel him to the presidency in 2009.
From the beginning of his rule, however, he has been beset by corruption scandals that he dealt with by firing ministers, police, and prosecutors, according to the Financial Times.
By the time of his exit, he was facing 18 counts of corruption, the BBC reports, and the Nelson Mandela Foundation even repudiated his legacy.

"Systematic looting by patronage networks linked to President Zuma have betrayed the country Nelson Mandela dreamt of as he took his first steps of freedom 28 years ago," the foundation said in a statement to FT. "We call on the state to hold him accountable for his actions — some things cannot be pardoned."
The endless procession of corruption charges at times paralyzed the government and Zuma's reign was not particularly known for major policy outcomes.
A few of his achievements include promoting youth employment, expanding tourism, and investing in energy independence, according to the Huffington Post.
However, the South African economy largely declined throughout his presidency and the number of people living in poverty increased after he took office.
And his record on human rights has been heavily criticized.

"During Jacob Zuma's presidency South Africa was blighted by serious human rights violations," Shehnilla Mohamed, Executive Director of Amnesty International South Africa, said in a statement.
"Under Jacob Zuma's leadership, we've seen a failure to ensure access to justice for victims of a range of human rights violations," she added. "For example, almost six years after 34 striking mineworkers in Marikana were killed by police, there has been no justice for victims or their families."
Ramaphosa is seen as a refreshing alternative to the stagnant nature of Zuma's presidency, CNN reports.
Like Zuma, he gained prominence alongside Mandela and is a longtime member of the ANC. As deputy president, he was second in line to Zuma.
But whereas Zuma was largely an orator and advocate early in his career, Ramaphosa was a trade union leader who was involved in high-level negotiations for Mandela, CNN notes.

He has also frequently spoken out against corruption.
Now that he's president, Ramaphosa has vowed to clean up the government, but he faces numerous challenges including a strong opposition party, weakened institutions, and major crises like the drought afflicting Cape Town, FT notes.
"We want to clean up South Africa so that we can begin to make it more attractive to investors but at the same time to deal with the issues that are impeding growth," Ramaphosa told CNN last month.
"This is not a flash in the pan," Ramaphosa said. "We are going to make sure that we do not disappoint our people."

Dell Inspiron i580-5108NBC – Review (Bonus: DPC Latency Fix)
I bought this computer last month as a replacement for my HP pavilion d4000 (RIP) and while there have been a lot of improvements in the past 5 years, there are also a whole new set of problems (not unique to this computer).
Things like constant "not responding" errors, particularly when installing programs, can easily be fixed by turning off indexing service in Windows Features.
Harder to solve are intermittent audio dropouts that result in crackling, popping, static, stuttering, etc. The cause is Deffered Procedure Call (DPC) Latency, essentially this is when a program hog resources so long that it bumps other processes like real-time audio.
One solution is to use DPC Latency Checker (thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml) to monitor your system's overall latency then tediously disable things like network adapters, onboard sound, and PCI cards (one at a time) until it improves.
Don't worry there's a more direct approach. Windows Performance Toolkit will show you the average & max DPC latency for each individual program. Unfortunately it's been packaged with Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e-1fd44e0e2505&displaylang=en), which is over 4GB! You reduce that download by only selecting "Win32 Development Tools" on the installation options page but that's still 242 MB. Instead download just Windows Performance Toolkit (16MB) @ rapidshare.com/files/358684614/wpt_x86.msi (Windows 7 32-bit) or rapidshare.com/files/358681724/wpt_x64.msi (Windows 7 64-bit). Once it's installed run Command Prompt (cmd.exe) as administrator and type "xperf -on DiagEasy" to begin the trace and "xperf -d trace.etl" to end the trace. You don't need to run the trace for long, less than a minute, just make sure you when you run it you are experiencing latency by using DPC Latency Checker in the background. Type "xperf trace.etl" to show the results then scroll down to the "DPC CPU Usage" graph, right click on it and select Summary Table (sort by max actual duration).
The source of latency on this system was nvlddmkm.sys (nvidia) and dxgkrnl.sys (directx) which are related to the graphics card (Nvidia GT 220). The latency for these kernels got as high as 16 milliseconds with the newest drivers installed. Since dropouts occur at about 2 milliseconds overall system latency, a single program taking that long or longer is a disaster!
Although the GT 220 was the primary problem for this system there are other more common contributors that are may apply to you.
Latency Checklist:
Nvidia uses a power management setting called "Powermizer" in laptops (turn it off with Powermizer Switch @ box.net/shared/v7jpoateoq).
Wireless card (take it out, if god wanted you to be wireless he wouldn't have given you and an umbilical cord).
Utorrent (switch to latency-free Vuze @ vuze.com/)
Daemon tools (don't install sptd or better try Virtual Clone Drive)
Once you find the problem you should update or rollback the drivers in question making sure to do a clean install with a program like Drive Sweeper (guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/) to completely remove previous installations.
But when that didn't work I called Dell tech support to get it swapped out for a better card, which the first 4 people I talked to were unwilling to do, despite numerous threads on the Dell forums in which Dell employees not only admit problems with the GT 220 but suggesting calling tech support and having them replace it with the GTS 240 (en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3515/t/19332029.aspx). One excuse they gave for not wanting to upgrade me was that the problems were affecting the XPS. First of all that not true (case in point), besides which problems have been reported with the GT 220 in all different kinds of XPS systems so it's not such a specific problem. The only reason there probably aren't more complaints with regards to the Inspiron is that the GT 220 only comes with this new pre-built model exclusively at Best Buy.
Regardless my system wouldn't support GTS 240 as Inspirons come with a small 300w power supply. But that's all right, I didn't want another Nvidia, which seem to be plagued with problems, so I convinced them to send me an ATI HD 5670 instead. Officially this card recommends a 400w power supply, even though it uses only 4 watts more than the GT 220 already in the system. I went out and bought an Antec TruePower New TP-650 650W ($70 after rebate @ Newegg.com) not just to be the safe side but for when I eventually add more things. Despite the tight fit in this mini-tower case (most of the cords are shoved into the 2nd optical drive bay) it runs smooth and very quiet for anyone with proprietary concerns. Once I installed the ATI card my overall latency (idle or not) was under 150 "MICRO" seconds and even the spikes were lower than my lows with the Nvidia card!
Once you actually manage to get it to work, the Inspiron i580-650 is very good budget computer. It sells for just $800 but what really sold me was Best Buy's 18 month no interest financing!
It comes with the i5-650 3.2 GHz (dual core) CPU, H57 chipset, 8 GB of memory, 1TB hard drive, which is plenty of power and space for your average user and then some. The system scored a respectable 7180 PCMarks on the Futuremark PCMark Vantage benchmark test (with the ATI HD 5670).
The Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s hard drive got an average transfer rate of 98.5 MB/s and access time of 14.5 ms on HD Tune Pro so opening that 350 MB rar of last night's generic TV show takes about 3 seconds, but compressing it back takes about 2 minutes with WinRar (90 seconds with 7zip).
And while it might not play Crysis 2 on douchebag settings @ 1337 FPS, it can play newer games at reasonable frame rates on medium settings. Although it only got a score of P3049 on Futuremark's 3DMark Vantage with the GT 220, it was still able to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at around 25 FPS on medium 1280×1024, which is the highest resolution for my monitor anyway. But when I switched the Nvidia card the ATI though, my scores doubled! My 3DMark score is now P5805 and I'm getting around 50 FPS on medium and 25 FPS on high settings while playing Battlefield.
The speakers (AX210), which retail for $20, were a nice surprise but the sound was muffled and frankly didn't hold up compared to my 5-year-old LCD built-in speakers.
The keyboard has a groove outline that's "great" at catching dust and food particles, and the mouse is LOUD! It's like the computer equivalent of sneaking into a creaky house. Now I get extra paranoid on the porn sites.
There's no SDPIF, Aux in, or CD in on the motherboard.
Bright yellow LED on motherboard with shines though side of case, would have been nice it was blue to match the power button or at least less bright.
If you looking at one of the higher end Inspirons this is the one you want to get. While you can get an Inspiron 580 with the i5-750 (4 cores) on Dell's website for the same price, it comes with half the memory (4GB), one-third the hard drive space (320GB), an even weaker graphics card (Nvidia G310 512MB), and no speaks.
But honestly you'd be even better off going the new XPS 7100, which comes with the new 6 core AMD Phenom II X6 1035T starting at $699. You can customize it with same 8GB memory and the latency-free and all around better card ATI HD 5670 for just $
869, plus Dell's doing 12 no interest financing on XPS.
While I do have regrets about getting not getting a 4 core CPU and now even a 6 core for basically the same price, it's more out of envy than necessity. Most programs don't need all those cores (yet) and for the moderate gaming & video editing, I'm fairly confident that this computer will get me through the next 5 years.

This may be one of the craziest videos you will ever see. The video highlights excerpts of a recent interview with former WWE and WCW wrestler, Billy Jack Haynes. Quite frankly, the guy is nuts. Haynes lets loose with a world of conspiracy theories and accusations towards Vince McMahon and other wrestlers that will make you cringe.
Billy Jack Haynes reached his biggest success wrestling at WrestleMania III. Billy Jack was a big territorial star on his way up to the WWE. Since losing his job, he has slid into a dark world of drugs and alleged organized crime. Needless to say, it has been quite a while since Billy Jack Haynes has laced up the boots.
I actually met Billy Jack a few hours after he shot this interview. I can honestly tell you that there was a vibe about him that was downright scary. Not too mention the fact that he stunk.

When it comes to straightening curly hair, you have a lot of options. But not all of them are safe.
Some hair straightening options can cause permanent damage to your hair, while others involve dangerous chemicals and other substances that can be harmful to your skin or can affect your health in other ways.
Perhaps the oldest and most widely used method for straightening hair involves running a flat iron through blown dry hair. This technique actually breaks down the hair's hydrogen bonds, flattening hair until water or water vapor penetrates the hair fiber, allowing hydrogen bonds to revert to their natural positions.
While the flat iron option is chemical free, the iron itself can be dangerous. Your skin or scalp can easily be burned if the iron simply touches it for a moment. And in some cases the escaping steam can cause serious burns.
Some products contain chemicals that break the disulfide bonds that hold adjacent hair strand together. While this will straighten the hair, the changes it causes are nearly irreversible because they last until the hair grows out and is cut off.
The chemicals used in this process include lye and similar "hydroxide-based" relaxers, or the chemicals used in the most common permanent wave solutions, which are thiolglycolate or sulfite-based reducing agents. The danger in this option lies in its being irreversible. Once you do it, there's no going back.
Brazilian keratin treatments offer a better alternative for getting straight, silky hair without the risks of flat irons or dangerous chemicals. They rely on keratin, a naturally occurring protein that is already found in your hair.
A Brazilian keratin treatment is long lasting — it can keep your hair straight for up to 12 weeks — but it isn't irreversible.
If you want the kind of beautiful, straight hair you desire without the risk of dangerous chemicals, hot irons or other risks, choose Brazilian keratin treatments and get the look you want safely.

You know what I am talking about right? Again, you don't have to unnecessarily degrade your speech with primitive words. This is not meant by "using simple words". It depends on your audience as well. But all else equal, you have to pick words that won't confuse your readers or won't make them think what the word means. Try your best to make your sentences flow smooth.
If you are writing long posts (pillar articles) make sure that you structure your posts to make them easier to read. As described in the first point, have an intro part and then have other parts under their own sub-heading. Using headings will make it easier to scan your posts.
It's much better to scan bullet points, than say reading them all in one sentence separated by comma. Pointing out important parts of your blog post by bolding or highlighting does facilitate easy reading too. Increasing the space between the text lines using CSS can improve your article's readability.
Most of the time it's easier to describe things if you show a picture, a screenshot, an illustration or a diagram etc. Sometimes complex things can be described by one diagram or a screenshot. Therefore, whenever possible, incorporate visual materials in your blog posts.
If you can describe something in few sentences and done with it, then do that! Don't go around trying to write a novel just to make your post longer. It's better to have a concise, straight to the point blog post rather than a long but meaningless one.
This is related to the first point but it's not the same. Here we are talking about the length of the blog post, but in point one we are talking about the importance of getting right to the point in the first paragraph no matter how long your blog post is.
Better headlines have more than one advantage, they will entice the user to read more of your article, and they will drive more traffic to your blog from search engines.
Here is how you can write better headlines: link and link.
Tip: Usually I write headlines for my readers and not for SEO, I use the post slug for SEO purposes.
Finally, as I always stress, it's your opinion that is the most important thing in blogging. Your opinion (plus your personality) is your "brand" in the blogosphere. Your opinion is the thing that differentiates you from other bloggers. Therefore, don't just be an invisible reporter who cuts-and-pastes other news reports online. Because if you want to be successful, you need to have that "about me" page on your blog (yes with the photo) and you need to start spreading your opinion and ideas in your blog posts.
Just look at successful blogs in the blogosphere, behind every successful blog there is a person. And most of the time, the blog is successful because of the author exclusively – his personality, his opinions, his ideas..etc.
I hope you found the tips useful. If there is anything you want to add, please do so in the comments section, so that others can benefit from it.

The Armattan Rooster is the successor to the popular Armattan Chameleon. It's a great freestyle frame with awesome camera protection and with Armattan's legendary lifetime-warranty.
The Armattan Rooster originates from the Armattan Chameleon launched in December 2016 and served as base inspiration with the lessons learned and the community feedback and suggestions to the development of the Armattan Rooster, with lower CG (Center of Gravity) and the upgraded Titanium FPV cage maximizing the protection of the FPV camera in a frontal impact.
The Armattan Rooster brings it to a new level with stronger materials, improved design and better provisions coupled with the ability to swap arms. Even the Carbon fiber got upgraded in the design process for even more durability and strength to support the unique life time warranty.
The Armattan Rooster is a compressed X freestyle frame. At first glance it may seem similar to the Chameleon, but if you look carefully, almost nothing beyond the shape is the same.
The rear standoffs on the Rooster are also newly developed for this airframe. They extend out past the rear of the top and bottom carbon to protect from a direct rear impact. In addition, the bolt holes in the middle provides for modular antenna mounting plates: now available to serve and protect a wider variety of VTX's. Lastly the Rooster uses 12.9 grade steel bolts for increased strenght.
The rear design of the Rooster has some 'hidden' features that aren't obvious to the naked eye. The first option is the standard rear plate. This comes with 3 molded rubber components: a grommet for mounting the SMA adapter, and two cones to mount your RX antenna tubes. This should provide a clear and satisfying mount point for any pilot with any VTX. If you use a "Unify" style transmitter (that has two flanges on the sides of the SMA pigtail), you may prefer the optional rear-plate. That plate allows you to hard-mount the SMA adapter to the rear of your craft, and even provides you with a space below for a rear-mounted XT-60.
The rooster supports swappable arms and are clear of the center-stack, providing you with a more stack height. This allows you to make upgrades or change a broken arm without needing to unscrew the FC. In addition, the front arm slots around the titanium cage creating a bomb-proof mounting point. Lastly, the small, interior top-plates are completely optional. While they provide a bit more strength and an extra area to mount a VTX or RX, we feel strongly enough about the frame to warranty it with or without those two plates of carbon.

Armattans Mongoose light series frame, designed with speed and lightweight in mind with an awesome price!

Q: What is a correct monitoring strategy for network services? Take for example a host which monitored with nagios and check_mk. Now there are http and ssh servers running on it. What is the best monitoring strategy:

*

*Monitor that sshd & apache process are running

*Attempt to connect to correct ports e.g. 22 & 80 from monitoring hosts

*Attempt to connect to port 80 from external network

I don't want to get loads of alerts:

*

*when host is down (check_mk can't connect for example)

*when I have a problem with my network (the services are actually available from other networks)

So I want to know monitoring strategies and theory behind it. Cause I don't just want to have multiple repetitive checks which simply generate loads of non useful alerts. What shall monitoring strive to achieve and how?
I already have nagios deployed with check_mk with more than 500 checks performed. It's a general question on how to plan your checks and achieve good coverage (monitoring solution agnostic if you like).

A: Pick whatever monitoring solution you want from the above question that Shane linked to. Then while adding all of your hosts and services, make sure to include host/service dependencies. For instance, if hosts A, B, and C are connected to switch D, make sure that A, B, and C are set as dependent on D. That way if switch D goes down, you won't get notifications on all the dependent objects.
There are pros and cons to this, though. In the above example, you'll only get a single alert (as opposed to a flood of alerts), so you need to be very intentional about reading and responding to every single alert, and not depend on the sheer number of alerts to give you a clue on the severity of an issue.

A: To check wether the httpd is running correctly you need a different approach:
Access an important URL for your applications and check if typical content of that URL is contained in the answer from your webs-server (you might use your own nagios-script using curl for that).
SSHD ist pretty reliable - so there is propably no need to check it.
HTTPD will run - but sometimes it will not do anything anymore (this will be covered by a simple port 80 check) - but more often you will have a case where HTTPD runs but the content is not being delivered any more.
Apart from that you should model (network) dependencies. If your proxy is down every httpd check will fail...
There is a nice article about monitoring in the Server Fault Blog...

A: You can mix legacy nagios checks + apache process monitoring for anything that has the "webserver" tag.
If you add in service dependencies, you'll get the mix where you monitor "end-to-end" and also achieve getting only one notification (exclude "u" notifications for your contact, of course)
or alternatively, you focus on the "user experience" monitoring, so you would only notify if the simulated end user (check_http) can't reach the site, and use Check_MK BI to drill down onto the issue.

Q: Compile time error in assignment statement I have this code:
TTimer(TimerList.Items[Row]) := TTimer.Create(Self);

When I run the program, there is the following error:

unit1.pas(70,19) Error: Argument cannot be assigned to

Why is this error thrown and how can I fix it?

A: You're including an explicit typecast on the left hand side - this can be allowed for variables, but here Items is a property accessed via a getter and so it is not a variable but a function result.  The only place you can typecast here, if needed, is on the right hand side of the assignment.
We don't know the type of TimerList, but assuming it is a compatible type like TList<TTimer> you can just assign it directly.
 TimerList.Items[Row] := TTimer.Create(Self);

If the list or array has elements of a different, compatible, but not implicitly type-castable type then you would typecast the right hand side of the assignment to match the expected type of the left hand side.

In the case of a plain TObjectList (from comments) the list elements are plain TObject, so any object, including a TTimer can be assigned to the list element as above.  Where you would need to typecast is going the other way - assigning the TObject back to a TTimer variable :
var
  LMyTimer : TTimer
begin
  LMyTimer := TTimer(TimerList.Items[someIndex]);

Also be careful that in creating the object with TTimer.Create(self) you are giving self (probably the form?) ownership of the timer object.  By placing it into a TObjectList you are then also giving ownership of the object to the list.  Both will try to free the object when they are themselves freed - whichever one does so last will cause a crash, so this is a bug.
Decide which object will have ownership responsibility and implement that - an object should not have two owners!  Either have the TObjectList own the timer, and therefore create it with TTimer.Create(nil), or leave the ownership with the (form?) using TTimer.Create(self) and use a plain TList instead of a TObjectList.
If you have a modern version of Delphi, I would strongly prefer a typed generic list, either TList<TTimer> or TObjectList<TTimer>.  This gets around the need to typecast entirely.

Formica bruni  — вид средних по размеру муравьёв рода Formica (Formicidae).

Распространение
Центральная Европа: Австрия, Германия, Греция, Испания, Швейцария, Швеция.

Описание
Длина 4—6 мм (самки и самцы не крупнее рабочих: 5—6 мм). Окраска рабочих муравьёв двухцветная; голова с глубокой выемкой на затылочном крае, характерной для всех членов подрода Coptoformica. От других близких видов отличается предпочтением термофильных олиготрофных биотопов, вплоть до ксеротермных горных альпийских лугах на известковых или песчаных почвах. Новые колонии, предположительно основываются молодыми самками путём социального паразитизма, но виды хозяева не известны. Семьи поликалические, некоторые муравейники включат более 50000 рабочих муравьёв и 300 маток. Брачный лёт в июле, но только 5 % самок летают, а остальные спариваются с самцами на куполах муравейников.

Вид был впервые описан в 1967 году швейцарским энтомологом Хайнрихом Куттером (Heinrich Kutter; 1896—1990) по материалам из Швейцарии.

В Германии рассматривается как исчезающий вид.

One of the most powerful ways you can touch the lives of others is by establishing an endowed scholarship. Scholarships allow talented students to pursue their dreams — and are essential to developing the next generation of skilled, compassionate health care professionals.
You can establish a scholarship in your own name or to honor a loved one, mentor or friend. A scholarship makes a lifelong impact on the career of the person receiving it, and enables OHSU to attract the best students from Oregon and across the country.
A named endowed scholarship fund is designed to be permanent and perpetual and can be created with a gift or pledge of $50,000 or more. Pledges can be paid over a period of five years.
To ensure that your primary area of interest is addressed in a way that best benefits student scholarship needs, donors are encouraged to work with the OHSU Foundation to complete a gift agreement that outlines the aims and goals of the scholarship.
A selection committee reviews the scholarship applications submitted by students and selects the most deserving recipient(s) based on the donor-established criteria. Major contributors of a scholarship fund are notified annually when the scholarship recipient(s) has been selected and recipients often write a thank-you note to the donor, and in some cases, the recipient and donor are able to meet.

Inside games that based alone on chance, players don't have a control on how the outcomes turn out to be. The players can get or lose simply in line with their luck.
Blackjack is one of the online casino games, which provides the greatest gain to its players. Actually, in some variations of the game, the players have a negligible better edge over the casino.

Casinos have unveiled house edge on each and every game to protect their advantage. But, you still can easily beat the house and make winnings if you play with effective strategies at the best suited games.
The best thing approximately Poker that makes it different from various casino games is that you are playing against other online players, not the house. Therefore, when your strategy of playing the adventure is better than your opponents, then you have a great chance to overcome them and make a quite a bit of money.

Q: Creating a new variable using many column I am trying to create a new variable by combining 25 other variables (different time points during the night). Here are five of the time points, for example:
   net_8pm net_830pm net_9pm net_930pm net_10pm net_1030pm
1       0         0       0         1        1          1
2       0         0       0         0        0          0
3       0         0       0         0        0          0
4       0         0       1         1        1          1
5       1         0       0         0        0          0
6       0         1       1         1        1          1

In my data, they're columns 34:58. If they used a net last night, the value=1, if they did not, the value=0. There are some missing data points, coded "NA". I want to make newvar=1 if ANY of time points=1, and 0 if they NEVER=1.
I tried a big long ifelse string, which is ugly and doesn't seem to pick up all of the rows (I have 182 people, and I only get 160 when I run the ifelse string). I'm terrible with making my own functions and loops, so everything I have tried has been a bust. I either get the dreaded  - about 90% of the things I try:
for (i in colnames(df)[38:54]){
+ df$net_ever<- ifelse(i==1, 1,
+ ifelse(i==0, 0,
+ NA))
+ }
> table(df$net_ever)
< table of extent 0 >

Or it turns into 4450 rows:
collapse_ifelse<-function(x){
+ ifelse(x==1, "yes",
+ ifelse(x==0, "no",
+ NA))
+ }
> df$net_ever<-apply(df, 2, FUN=collapse_ifelse)

or I get this warning:
> f1<-function(x){
+ for (i in 1:x)
+ ifelse(x==1, "yes",
+ ifelse(x==0, "no",
+ NA))
+ }
> df$net_ever<-apply(df, 2, FUN=f1)
There were 26 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
> warnings()
Warning messages:
1: In 1:x : numerical expression has 182 elements: only the first used

Or I get 182 0's:
> df$net_ever2<-rep(0,182)
> for (i in 1:182){
+ ifelse(i==1, "yes",
+ ifelse(i==0, "no",
+ NA))
+ }
> table(df$net_ever)

  0
182

You can see I have no idea what I'm doing here (it is embarrassing enough having to post these for help, but desperate times call for desperate measures). I'd greatly appreciate help with how to collapse these variables! I'm using R 3.0.3 with Windows 7. Thanks!

A: Apply any by row:
df$net_ever <- apply(df[38:54], 1, any)
