Smithsonian Exhibit opening soon!
Written by broebling on May 15, 2018
Press Release – What would life be like without teachers, doctors, firefighters or coal miners? Every day Americans are hard at work on farms, oil fields, factories, offices, and at home keeping our communities thriving. The Campbell County Rockpile Museum, in conjunction with Wyoming Humanities, will explore the professions and the people that sustain American society when it hosts The Way We Worked, a Smithsonian traveling exhibition.
The exhibition's Grand Opening will be held on Saturday, May 19th from 2:00-4:00 at the Campbell County Rockpile Museum. The Way We Worked, adapted from an original exhibition developed by the National Archives, explores how work has become a central element in American culture. It traces the many changes that have affected the workforce and work environments over the past 150 years, including the growth of manufacturing and increasing use of technology.
American jobs are as diverse as the American workforce. The opportunity provided by work is central to the American dream and has attracted people to better lives in America. With strength, ingenuity, creativity, thoughtfulness, and heroics, American workers keep our economy and our society up and running.
The Way We Worked has been made possible in Campbell County by Wyoming Humanities. This exhibition was created by the National Archives and is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and state humanities councils nationwide. Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.

Trope, Prison Tropes, Espionage Tropes,
Get Into Jail Free
John Doe needs to get information from (or kill) Richard Roe. Unfortunately, Richard Roe has just been thrown into prison. How to get access to someone surrounded by high walls, barbed wire and armed guards? Why, commit a crime and get imprisoned yourself! After all, escaping should be easy for our hero once the deed is done!
Undercover police officers do this in real life, but in fiction they go one step further and actually commit a crime instead of just faking a criminal record. Of course, John Doe may not have the luxury of law enforcement co-operation. However, this raises the question of how he'd arrange to be thrown into the same prison or cellblock as the inmate he needs to approach.
Supertrope to Can't Get in Trouble For Nuthin'. See also Trojan Prisoner, Play-Along Prisoner, Conveniently Cellmates and Chained Heat.
Examples of Get Into Jail Free include:
Near the end of Outlaw Star, Gene arranges himself to be sent to an outer-space Alcatraz in order to get the information that an inmate has regarding the MacGuffin.
This happens in one episode of Golgo 13. Duke Togo allows himself to be arrested so he'll end up in the same ludicrously high-security prison as his target, a crook whose old companions are worried about spilling the beans on them. Needless to say, escaping a prison that makes The Alcatraz look like a cardboard box is no problem for Golgo 13!
In Suicide Squad #6, Harley Quinn shoots up a police car outside of a police station in order to get herself arrested and taken inside the station where the Joker's skinned face is being kept.
Batman villain Black Mask's accomplice, Circe, tries to get Harvey "Two-Face" Dent to do this - return to Arkham Asylum and kill Black Mask while he's in there.
Fear is the Key (1972), a film adaptation of the novel by Alistair MacLean. The protagonist gets into a bar brawl with the police so he can get hauled into a courtroom where he takes the daughter of a millionaire hostage and a Car Chase ensues. The entire event turns out to have been faked by the police to give the protagonist a convincing criminal background, as the girl's father is involved with The Mafia. In the novel though the bar brawl at least is implied never to have happened.
In Let's Go to Prison, the protagonist is a convicted criminal with a plan for revenge on the judge that locked him up over and over since he was a preteen. Unfortunately, he gets his plan together a day late and the judge is already dead from natural causes. Instead, he goes after the deadbeat son of the dearly departed judge and gets the guy busted for drugs, then he deliberately gets himself arrested so he can become the deadbeat's cellmate for the sole purpose of making his life hell (he pleads guilty on condition of being allowed to serve his sentence at that specific prison). Eventually, the two are forced to bond together in order to make it through their prison stay alive.
In the Otto Preminger LSD comedy Skidoo, a retired hit man (Jackie Gleason) is ordered by The Don (Groucho Marx, in his last role) to get himself into prison to kill a snitch (Mickey Rooney).
The Joker does this in The Dark Knight in order to kidnap Lau to make him reveal where the mobsters' money is.
This is the premise in Face Off
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol starts out with the team breaking Ethan Hunt out of a Norwegian prison. In the end, it turns out that he was actually there because he got arrested in order to infiltrate the prison and gather information from Bogdan.
In one of the books of the CHERUB Series, Teen Superspy James Adam's assignment is to go undercover in an Arizonan maximum security juvenile prison and engineer the escape of himself and one of the juvenile inmates. The plan is that the inmate he is helping them escape will lead them to his fugitive mother, a wanted international black market arms dealer. He does this by posing as a juvenile with a felony record, which is faked by the FBI.
In Savannah Swingsaw Mack Bolan discovers an elite KGB assassin is after a petty embezzler, so he gets thrown into prison. Hal Brognola creates a fake criminal record, but Bolan commits a burglary so he'll be caught by local police, in order to get close to the kid, avert the plot and find out why he's being targeted. Things go pear-shaped though when some fellow vigilantes recognise Bolan and bust him out, thinking they're doing him a favour.
The Stainless Steel Rat does this at both ends of his career:
In A Stainless Steel Rat Is Born, a young DiGriz allows himself to get caught in the belief that he'll meet criminal masterminds in prison who'll teach him the art of crime. As it turns out, he only meets the pathetic losers who are dumb enough to be caught.
He does have to try to get into an actual prison rather than juvenile hall. When the judge is about to give him a reduced sentence, he flips out in court and attacks a reporter, causing the judge to lose all sympathy.
The Distant Finale of the series is a short story where the Rat, as an old man, apparently loses his touch and gets arrested and imprisoned. It turns out he's still got it, and let himself get caught as the first step of a plan to bust an old friend out of the prison.
In his final novel, Quiller discovers a witness who has evidence that can bring down a high-ranking boss of The Mafiya has been thrown into The Gulag. He gets himself sent there too (though only by faking the conviction papers) even through no-one has ever escaped before.
Happens in Warbreaker when Vasher gets arrested in order to get Breath from a captured rebel.
The entire premise of Prison Break. A man is Wrongly Accused and his brother, Michael Scofield, commits a bank robbery so he'll be caught and thrown into the same prison (Scofield pleads 'no contest' on condition he's sent to a prison near his home) to help him escape. It helps that Scofield designed the prison, and the design is now tattooed onto his body.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Vick finds one of his targets has been thrown into jail, so he follows suit by the simple method of walking up to a group of police officers and punching one of them. Of course being a Terminator he can get out at any time just by knocking the cell door off its hinges. Notably, this one manages to get around the big issue of being sent to the same area as the prisoner in question, because the target is in temporary holding, just like Vick would be when assaulting a cop. Once he's inside, he can literally just rip the doors off the walls until he finds his target.
In Burn Notice, Michael askes to be put in prison for a week to protect a friend of Sam. This ends with a prison riot, and the man who wants Sam's friend dead being broken out of prison, and set up to go right back. Mike manages to get in by use of the two FBI agents who owe him a favor from a previous episode.
In an episode of Due South, a key witness is behind bars and Fraser's partner is jailed for contempt. Fraser gets himself arrested to join them and be in position to protect them. He's such a straight arrow that he can't bring himself to shoplift a candy bar, and his police friends have to plant it on him.
In another episode, he gets himself interred in a mental hospital (to help break Ray out) by showing up in his RCMP uniform and telling them the unaltered truth of how he ended up in Chicago.
Chris Ryans Strike Back. John Porter gets arrested in Zimbabwe for dealing in illicit diamonds so he'll be thrown into a high-security prison where a British national is accused of trying to kill Robert Mugabe. Porter's job is to break the Brit out, interrogate and then kill him.
Done in the Mission Impossible episode "Old Man Out". Of course, the IMF stacks the deck in their favour to get the result they want. Rollin is arrested for pickpocketing right outside the prison, and the arresting officer is Dan Briggs disguised as someone high-ranked enough to order the prison to hold him till he can be charged.
One episode of Batman had The Penguin try this after acquiring samples of various rich people's handwriting, because a forger has been imprisoned next to his usual cell.
In Veronica Mars, Logan takes a tire iron to a police car in order to get thrown into a holding cell...with the guys who nearly raped Veronica. We get a nice Oh Crap look from them, and the scene ends.
In Supernatural the Winchester's get deliberately caught so they can remove a ghost haunting the prison. The warden was the one who called them in, which helped.
In Justified Boyd Crowder assaults a US Marshal in a federal courthouse in front of dozens of witnesses. He assaulted a federal agent on federal property specifically so he would be sent to the federal prison rather than county jail. Once inside he bribes a crooked guard to be placed in the right cell. He is trying to get close to Dickie Bennett who is in the prison awaiting trial on federal charges. Raylan figures this out and tried to thwart the plan by having the charges dropped and Boyd released.
The Practice: To avenge a deceased relative, a man kills the hitman and arranges to serve his sentence at the very same prison the one who hired the hitman was serving time for another crime.
A sidequest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion involves getting yourself imprisoned to gain the trust of an inmate, who you are told has hidden a stash of treasure somewhere.
At one point in Baldur's Gate II you have to get yourself sent to Spellhold - which is actually the local asylum, but it plays out similarly. The easiest way to do so is to tell the local Lord you must be deranged because you travel with Minsc. After being subjected to Minsc's conversation for a few minutes he wholeheartedly agrees and sends you there forthwith.
This is how you get to join the terrorists in Splinter Cell: Double Agent
The Opening of Batman: Arkham City
Excelsior Phase One Lysandia: The PC must speak to a political prisoner, and so when the guards mention they're looking for a murderer and ask if the player knows who he is, the PC turns himself in.
Grand Theft Auto 2 features a mission where the Rednecks want the protagonist to shoot up Alma Mater Prison from the inside. The player has to get arrested while selling moonshine to get in.
In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Katara gets herself arrested for (bogus) Earthbending so she can find the Fire Nation's Earthbender-proof prison and free the prisoners.
In the Mega Man cartoon, Megaman decided the best way to get to Dr. Light and Roll in the Wily-run future was to get himself arrested, so he hit a copbot over the head with a lamppost. It worked.
In Jackie Chan Adventures, Jackie is guised up as a criminal to get into jail to find a MacGuffin. He did this to stop the bad guys Got Into Jail Free for the same reason.
In one episode of Darkwing Duck, Darkwing pretends to be a supervillain so he can get thrown into supervillain prison. Getting arrested turns out to be ludicrously difficult, however.

Righty then. Time to get this layout of mine on the go again. I left the layout on March 20th having roughed in and mocked up a general idea of the layout, and that is quite literally what I did. I just left it there. It sat, I did nothing to it. I even bough a couple of US outline O scale freight cars whilst mooting a Proto:48 project. Every so often I'd go and look at the mock up and see if I still liked the idea. So, six weeks have passed and every time I take a look at the mock up. I still like it. I still believe in the concept. I know many others have built very nice SLT's. But I had to be sure it was right for me. My model railway layout building history is full of half started concepts and half finished layouts that haven't sustained my interest beyond the initial phase. So, when I took another look today, (a very rainy day just right for dabbling in a bit of model railway work), I saw this... ....and was happy. I decided to go one step further and add the basis of the rear background, the hill sloping up to the backscene and see how that feels. Nothing too clever in the construction here so far. Just some expanded polystyrene formers with strips of thin card crisscrossed over them to get a base for the slope. Hopefully in a couple of days when I get a day or two off work I'll cover this with the old "paper towels soaked in PVA" method to get the shape finalized. and if I still like that after a few weeks then I'll get on to the next step.
Yesterday, (March 1st) the APA Box layout received its first outing at the Granite City Train show in St. Cloud, MN. This little layout was probably the most labour intensive of the layouts I've shown there. The coal loading really making it a 2 person operation for smooth running. The working coal loader really grabbing peoples attention. A couple of people asked about the rolling stock as it was British outline, but most people were just content to watch the layout work. The coal loading was, as I've said, quite a labour intensive operation. We found it worked best with one person operating the railway watching the position of the wagons under the dispensing chute to see when they filled, and the other person actually doing the filling. Something that definitely needs to be worked on is cutting down on the spillage around the chute. This led to a lot of derailments very quickly and many breaks had to be taken to clear the coal away from the rails. Another thing I learnt is that the couplers on the Dapol hoppers were not as effective as the Bachmann ones in constant push-pull situations. The direction to take with the uncouplers needs to be worked on. I made a couple of hand uncoupling tools out of styrene before the show and they certainly did the job. I'm sure I'll get well meaning suggestions to use "Sprat and Winkle" or some other auto uncoupling brand, but they'd have to be shipped over from the UK and when you have to pay more for postage than the item its just not cost effective. I could use Kadees but they don't look right on 1960's UK stock. The Bachmann ones are surprisingly unobtrusive so I might just stick with them. There is a supplier in Canada that I get my Bachmann stock from. The next plan will be to rebuild the loading screens out of styrene and get a bit more detail into the structures. A fiddle yard rebuild is also on the cards. It was just a tad too short as it was. I'll try to rig up a three road sector plate for the next time. The next Granite City Train show is on November 15th so there is plenty of time. All in all, a good day out. I did come away with an O scale US outline boxcar kit. Who knows where that will lead? Above: This photo shows the layout ready for display. The layout rests on a couple of plastic "milk crate" type containers that are used to carry the stock and equipment into the show. Set up and knock down time was about 10 minutes. Below: These pictures centre on the loaded coal hoppers.
That Newcastle location Dave, is very neat.
Bob: Here's a Google Street view shot that gives a good view of the extent of the Structure. The Hornby model with a canopy and a scratch built shelter addition at the end might just do the job most admirably.
I thought I'd best do a quick double check Bob, and through the magic of Google Earth I see that the Liskeard Branch platform building is about 110' long, 440 mm almost 18". Much, much longer than I ever expected it to be. That Skaledale pavilion is rather nice. Very Colonel Stephens I think.
As I'm currently working towards getting another layout ready for a train show (My APA box interpretation of British Oak Coal loading point described elsewhere on here) time is spent thinking through things. I like thinking. I like to have things sorted in advance so construction goes smoothly, (famous last words). So this Station building has been bugging me a bit. The size of the prototype in 4mm scale is about 450mm long, which I think will be too long. So something shorter is called for. I think this could make a good basis. Window patterns are very wrong. But I think that if I add a canopy to it it might just work.
New arrival this morning.. :) A real beauty. Destination blinds read Keswick and Penrith. Both places I'm familiar with.
Enough of this American intrusion onto my slice of England!! Today I was off work, and under the weather. So I dragged myself down to the model railway room and set to to work on something for the layout. I've been quite taken lately with the idea of a workman's halt for the layout. A nice short, timber platform sort of thing. I had plenty of styrene sheet and section around so it became a "make it up as you go along" sort of thing. Working on the idea that if it looked right it was right progress sped along - all afternoon. I worked on the project until it was finished. Five hours later. It needs painting, of course and some details. But other than that I think it will serve the purpose quite admirably.
Oh, all right Bob. Subtle hint taken. Some pictures of the (now) Minnesota Iron Range Iron Ore loading point... In the first two pics a DMIR SD45-T (Athearn) shoves a quad set of ore "jennies" (also Athearn) into the receiving siding. This is where the Bachmann GE 45 tonner takes over and shoves the cars over to the loading points to be filled. A Baldwin S-12 switcher would also be a good choice for this duty as they were owned by the Oliver and Erie Mining concerns on the Iron Range.


If you want to impress your website visitors with your professionalism, you have to start with quality web design. Before your visitors can even absorb any real information about your site, they'll take in the look and design and form an instant opinion based on that. The purpose of this article is to show you what elements you need to focus on to ensure that your website doesn't fail when it comes to the design part.
How to Benefit From 404 Pages: You're surely familiar with the "page not found" or 404 Page, which indicates an error was made in typing in the url. You may be wondering how this fact relates to designing a website properly. It's really a relevant topic, because 404 pages represent a missed opportunity for every potential customer who never reaches your actual site. The way to solve this problem is to build a 404 page that gives the prospect a path back to an active page on your site. This one step can get you lots of visitors who would have left otherwise, perhaps assuming your site was not active. Your customized 404 page can be straightforward, humorous or however you prefer, but make sure visitors can easily return to your website from there.
There are a bunch of different ways to get this done, but it has to be obvious that it is the link back to the main page. Not including this on each page will just confuse your visitors as they search around a way to go back to the homepage. You always want to be reliable and do things the same way, and that includes using a format or link template for all your pages. Just about always if you see a logo up top, and it is also a link – it is a way to click back to the main page.
You need to help as many people as possible to have a positive experience at your site, so that means making use of alt tags on images. You really should think about people with disabilities such as those with vision problems. You will be accomplishing two positive things by using the alt tags. If you do not optimize for search, then it is still a great idea for vision impaired people. Write a quick little blurb that tells what is in the picture. Each image used on your site should have this included in it.
As time goes on your site is going to get better and is going to be even more successful as you learn and improve things. Focusing fist on your web site design elements is where you need to begin so that you can make sure that you won't come up short accidentally. Web design isn't actually complicated…until you make it that way. If you want people to respond well to your site and get as many sales as possible and build a really good brand, you need to focus first on building a good foundation.


Well another week in the books and we are nearing the middle of February already. This is the last weekend before Spring Training begins. I really can't even believe that the off-season has passed so quickly.
But let's get to it! I partnered up with local boutique (and restaurant) Shore brand, to bring you this look and it's one that I'm loving. Rompers are such a great idea, but the biggest reason for me to love them is that they are just easy. I don't have to worry about styling pants and top together. It's one complete look with one single garment. This romper in particular is a favorite of mine though because (you guessed it) it's comfortable. I've never really been a fan of shorts but the shorts on this romper are long enough to cover my booty. So it works for me! Another thing I love is that this romper is available in a handful of colors. So there's shore (see what I did there) to be a color you love!
Are you in or out on rompers? Let me know below!

Musicians on Tour – Great Concerts in 2016
Are you available to see a concert in the year 2016? You are? Excellent. This post will have some applicability for you. A great concert is ineffable. From the purchase of the tickets to the anticipation to the moment when the band/artist comes out on stage to the tinny sound of ringing ears as you are pouring out the venue, live shows have a special place in the musical muscles of melody seekers. To help you in the quest to find that perfect concert this year, here are a few tours that might be coming to your backyard in 2016.
Note: Billy Joel is not on this list, even though he has almost taken a permanent residence in Madison Square Garden – much like a Broadway play or Las Vegas residence.
Black Sabbath – The End Tour
Although Ozzy had to postpone some recent dates because of a bout of sinusitis, Black Sabbath – as current constituted with Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler – started its goodbye tour in Omaha to be completed in September. The pioneers of heavy metal music are technically touring their recent release The End. This is the last time you will be able to see the band that brought the music world "Iron Man," "Paranoid," and, well, Ozzy Osbourne.
Fall Out Boy – Wintour is Coming
Fall out Boy has made an impressive comeback after a 4-year hiatus (which ended in 2013) with songs like "Uma Thurman" and "Centuries," which line its new album American Beauty/American Psycho. Now, the band is touring, and if the Game of Thrones pun is any indication the tour will be quite engaging. What's even better is FOB wisely chose AWOLNATION (and Pvris) to open for the show; AWOLNATION is one of the most exciting bands out there. This should be an awesome show.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – The River Tour
BRUCE!!! To celebrate the release of The Ties that Bind: The River Collection, a 52-track, 4-hour video collection celebrating the 35th anniversary of The River, Bruce has once again set out on a massive tour that will seem him traversing the continental U.S.; he will also be heading to Portugal for a date in May. The show has been typical Bruce, fit with 30+ songs from his extensive collection.
Florence + The Machine – How Beautiful Tour
Florence Welch, who my sister widely regards as "The Goddess," is an unbelievably talented musician who, with her tremendous Machine, recently released How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, which features songs like "What Kind of Man," and "Queen of Peace" and has been widely regarded as a mature, strong release. The tour, which starts in May, is well worth seeing if you have the ability to do so.
Coldplay – A Head full of Dreams Tour
Oh, Coldplay. You have to give the Britpop band some major credit; Coldplay has been around since 1996 and is still creating unique music. The band is a true chameleon; it is constantly transforming its sound, not necessarily to create mass-market sounds, but, instead, to constantly recreate its music. This strategy is clearly working as the band is gearing up for another tremendous world tour that will include a stop in San Francisco next week for the Superbowl. Go to a Coldplay show if you can; the band is awesome live.

pH indicators are weak acids that exist as natural dyes and indicate the concentration of H+ (\(H_3O^+\)) ions in a solution via color change. A pH value is determined from the negative logarithm of this concentration and is used to indicate the acidic, basic, or neutral character of the substance you are testing.
pH indicators exist as liquid dyes and dye-infused paper strips. They are added to various solutions to determine the pH values of those solutions. Whereas the liquid form of pH indicators is usually added directly to solutions, the paper form is dipped into solutions and then removed for comparison against a color/pH key.
See Figure 1 and 2 to see a color range (1) of a universal indicator (2).
Recall that the value of pH is related to the concentration of H+ (\(H_3O^+\)) of a substance. pH itself is approximated as the cologarithm or negative logarithm of the \(H^+\) ion concentration (Figure 3).
A pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution like water. A pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution. Ultimately, the pH value indicates how much H+ has dissociated from molecules within a solution. The lower the pH value, the higher concentration of H+ ions in the solution and the stronger the acid. Likewise, the higher the pH value, the lower the concentration of H+ ions in the solution and the weaker the acid.
The color change of a pH indicator is caused by the dissociation of the H+ ion from the indicator itself. Recall that pH indicators are not only natural dyes but also weak acids. The dissociation of the weak acid indicator causes the solution to change color. The equation for the dissociation of the H+ ion of the pH indicator is show below (Figure 4).
It is important here to note that the equation expressed in figure 4 is in equilibrium, meaning Le Chatelier's principle applies to it. Thus, as the concentration of \(H_3O^+\) (H+) increases or decreases, the equilibrium shifts to the left or right accordingly. An increase in the \(HIn\) acid concentration causes the equilibrium to shift to the right (towards products), whereas an increase of the \(In^-\) base concentration causes the equilibrium to shift to the left (towards reactants).
pH indicators are specific to the range of pH values one wishes to observe. For example, common indicators such as phenolphthalein, methyl red, and bromothymol blue are used to indicate pH ranges of about 8 to 10, 4.5 to 6, and 6 to 7.5 accordingly. On these ranges, phenolphthalein goes from colorless to pink, methyl red goes from red to yellow, and bromothymol blue goes from yellow to blue. For universal indicators, however, the pH range is much broader and the number of color changes is much greater. See figures 1 and 2 in the introduction for visual representations. Usually, universal pH indicators are in the paper strip form.
It is important to note that the pH scale is a logarithmic scale: hence an increase of 1 pH unit corresponds to a ten times increase of \(H_3O^+\). For example, a solution with a pH of 3 will have an H+ (\(H_3O^+\)) concentration ten times greater than that of a solution with a pH of 4. As pH is the negative logarithm of the H+ (\(H_3O^+\)) concentration of a foreign substance, the lower the pH value, the higher the concentration of H+ (\(H_3O^+\)) ions and the stronger the acid. Additionally, the higher the pH value, the lower the H+ (\(H_3O^+\)) concentration and the stronger the base.
pH indicators can be used in a variety of ways, including measuring the pH of farm soil, shampoos, fruit juices, and bodies of water. Additionally, pH indicators can be found in nature, so therefore their presence in plants and flowers can indicate the pH of the soil from which they grow.
Nature contains several natural pH indicators as well: for example, some flower petals (especially Roses and Hydrangeas), certain fruits (cherries, strawberries) and leaves can change color if the pH of the soil changes. See figure 7.
In the lemon juice experiment, the pH paper turns from blue to vivid red, indicating the presence of \(H_3O^+\) ions: lemon juice is acidic. Refer to the table of Universal Indicator Color change (figure 1 in the introduction) for clarification.
The household detergent contained a concentrated solution of sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda. As shown, the pH paper turns a dark blue: baking soda (in solution) is basic.Refer to the table of Universal Indicator Color change (figure 1 in the introduction) for clarification.
Here is a simple demonstration that you could try in the lab or at home to get a better sense of how indicator paper works. Make sure to always wear safety glasses and gloves when performing an experiment!
Peal the cabbage leaves and place them into the pot.
Add water into the pot, making sure the water covers the cabbage entirely.
Place the pot on the stove and allow to cook at medium heat for about 30 to 35 minutes.
Allow it to cool, then pour contents into the bowl using the strainer.
Soak your coffee filters in the cabbage juice for about 25 to 30 minutes.
Allow the filters to fully dry, then cut them into strips.
Now start your pH testing (starts out blue, changes to green [basic], and red [acidic]).
1. A hair stylist walks into a store and wants to buy a shampoo with slightly acidic/neutral pH for her hair. She finds 5 brands that she really likes, but since she never took any introductory chemistry classes, she is unsure about which one to purchase. The first has a pH of 3.6, the second of 13, the third of 8.2, the fourth of 6.8 and the fifth of 9.7. Which one should she buy?
Answer: The brand that has a pH of 6.8 since it's under 7 (neutral) but very close to it, making it slightly acidic.
2. You decide to test the pH of your brand new swimming pool on your own. The instruction manual advises to keep it between 7.2-7.6. Shockingly, you realize it's set at 8.3! Horrified, you panic and are unsure whether you should add some basic or acidic chemicals in your pool (being mindful of the dose, of course. Those specific chemicals are included in the set, so no need to worry about which one you have to use and (eek!) if they are legal for public use). Which one should you add?
Answer: Since the goal is to lower the pH to its ideal value, we must add acidic solution to the pool.
3. Let's say the concentration of Hydronium ions in an aqueous solution is 0.033 mol/L. What is the corresponding pH of this solution, and based on your answer identify whether the solution is acidic, basic or neutral.
pH= -log[0.033]= 1.48 : The solution is highly acidic!
4. Now let's do the inverse: Say you have a solution with a pH of 9.4. What is the H30+ ions concentration?
Answer: [\(H_3O^+\)]= 10-9.4= 3.98E-10 mol/L. Seem too low to be true? Think again, if the pH is >7, the solution will be basic, hence the hydronium ions will be low compared to the hydroxide (OH- ions).
5. A more trickier one: 0.00026 moles of acetic acid are added to 2.5 L of water. What is the pH of the solution?

Review: November Road, by Lou Berney
HarperCollins, 2018. 299 pp. $27
Toward the end of this ingenious, heart-stopping thriller, one character says, "With every decision we create a new future," and destroy all others. It's the perfect motto for November Road, whose protagonist finds the future narrowing hour by hour, like the short end of a funnel, no matter what decisions he makes.
It's November 1963. Frank Guidry is a midlevel New Orleans mafioso, fortunate to have the ear of big boss Carlos Marcello and the charm and horse sense to do the right favors for the right people. But when Frank hears that President John F. Kennedy has been assassinated in Dallas, he wastes no time getting out of New Orleans, hoping to outrun Marcello's long arm.
How Frank intuits this is a simple, elegant proof, worthy of Euclid — and Berney, like his protagonist, wastes no words explaining. Frank has just ferried a car to Dallas and back; on the return trip, the trunk contained a duffel bag in which he found a high-powered rifle, broken into parts, and shell casings. From the news reports, Frank supposes that nobody but a professional could have hit a moving target so accurately at that range. Conclusion: Marcello masterminded the assassination, and as an accessory, Frank Guidry must be next on the hit list, because of what he knows.

But Marcello didn't get where he is by sitting still, so he sends Paul Barone, a cold, tireless killer, to track Frank down. Frank doesn't know who's after him, only that whoever it is seems unshakable. And as the net draws closer, the fox devises a way to throw the hounds off the scent: In New Mexico, he eases himself into the path of Charlotte, a woman who's just left her drunken husband and has two young daughters in tow. Now Frank looks like a family man, much less remarkable to gas station attendants, lunch-counter waitresses, or motel clerks, the people whom anyone following him will interrogate.
But the reader knows what Frank doesn't — that he'll fall for Charlotte and the girls, which will add a complication, for he's never thought of anyone except himself before. Further, to keep up appearances, he'll have to humor their whims, when speed is of the essence, and though the little girls are extraordinarily well behaved, Charlotte must keep them entertained on the long drive. She thinks she's going to Los Angeles, where her aunt lives, but Frank is bound for Las Vegas, where he hopes one of Marcello's rivals will help him. How Frank balances all this makes for a spellbinding story; his secrets, though hidden temporarily, won't stay that way forever, and Paul Barone is a more than worthy opponent. Sooner or later, all elements must meet.
Berney's prose, vivid without calling attention to itself, colors in the gangland world and all it touches:
The west bank of the Mississippi, just across the river from New Orleans, was a dirty strip of scrapyards, body shops, and lopsided tenement buildings, the wood rotting off them. The Wank, people called it. Barone understood why. The smell was something else. A couple of refineries fired night and day, a burning funk that stuck to your clothes and skin. Ships dumped their garbage on the New Orleans side, and it washed up here. Dead fish, too, the ones even the gulls wouldn't touch.
The only place where Berney loses me is Charlotte's decision to leave her husband for who knows where; the Los Angeles aunt is an afterthought, and a weak one, given that the two haven't spoken in years. Charlotte has spent her life making circumstances work for other people, and though she's tired of doing so for her deadbeat husband — and equally tired of being spoken to as a second-class citizen because she's female — running out is too great a leap for her. No one in her Oklahoma town, where everyone knows everyone else, gets divorced, and nobody just ups and leaves anything or anyone. To hit the road with two vulnerable children and an epileptic dog (a nice touch) makes no sense to me.
I'm also not sure that Frank, despite his apparently exceptional powers of seduction, would find her such an easy conquest. To his credit, Berney gives her intelligence and humor, and those qualities are what draw Frank, not her prettiness. But I could have more easily seen her succumb once, only to pull back, which would have added more sexual tension while complicating the choreography of the later chapters.
Even so, November Road is still a superb thriller. Charlotte has the journey of her life; many readers will enjoy going along for the ride.

Review: King Zeno, by Nathaniel Rich
FSG, 2018. 386 pp. $28
During the final year of the First World War, three narratives and a hell of a lot of dead bodies converge in New Orleans. The main story line belongs to Isidore (Izzy) Zeno, the best young cornet player no one's ever heard of, who believes he has a new style of jass, as it's then called, but can't get gigs. To make ends meet, he aids a friend who's a stickup artist, but the risks are far greater than the rewards, and that sort of sideline is destined to cause trouble.
Then there's Bill Bastrop, a police detective assigned to deal with the stickups but switches to homicide detail when a friend and mentor on the force is killed one night in a setup. That, in turn, leads Bill to probe the rash of ax murders that the dead detective was investigating. However, Bill can barely hold it together, suffering from what would today be called post-traumatic stress from his wartime service. He received a hero's acclaim, but he knows he's a coward, and he lives with it every second. How Bill managed to be released from the army with the war still going on is a mystery itself. But suffice to say that he's miserable, obsessed with breaking a case that will redeem him in his own eyes, for which he neglects the wife he loves.
Finally, there's Beatrice Vizzini, a widow from an underworld family who wants to leave the "shadow business" and go straight. To that end, she's managing the effort to build a canal that will split New Orleans in two and, the city fathers hope, restore the port to its erstwhile glory. Her sociopathic son and heir, Giorgio, may have other ideas about her business strategy, and to say he's a loose cannon is an understatement.

Meanwhile, with all that, influenza ravages the city, so plenty happens in King Zeno. Too much, in fact, and it burdens the novel. The three narratives coincide only toward the end, when it takes a fair amount of contrivance to make that junction. The mystery hardly qualifies as a puzzle, for the solution is pretty clear early on, though the bodies keep piling up, in the streets and at the canal excavation site. The Vizzini narrative, easily the weakest of the three because the characters are neither engaging nor sympathetic, could drop out entirely. That would also remove the tendentious, thematic passages in which Rich tries to convince you that the canal is a metaphor that links this narrative to the other two. I don't see it.
What King Zeno does have going for it is the atmosphere of New Orleans. You get the mosquitoes, the heat, the wealth alongside poverty, the racism, sainted past that was never glorious. The vigorous prose lets you hear the music, too:
Isidore pressed the cornet to his lips and the old chemical combustion — oxygen plus metal times flesh — blew everything else out of his head. He'd heard other players describe performing as a jubilant mindlessness, a physical sensation as ecstatic as sexual euphoria, but that wasn't quite right. He used his mind too, running through scales the way Mr. Davis at the Waifs' Home had taught him, calculating fourths and fifths; adding crooks, slurs, and drags; scanning ahead four bars in anticipation; posing and, within milliseconds, resolving questions of harmonic density, chordal patterning, and understructure…
More importantly, the narrative conveys implicitly the crime and corruption that pervade every human interaction, the fear with which African-Americans cope constantly, and the subterfuges they must embrace. For instance, Izzy may not visit his wife, Orleania, except in secret, for she's a live-in nanny in a white home. Even to try is dangerous, for security guards patrol the streets, looking to abuse people they consider interlopers.
Izzy's story therefore makes gripping reading, as does Bill's, often, but only as separate entities. As a whole, King Zeno doesn't feel like a satisfying literary dish as much as a jambalaya of varied flavors. Some stand out, some I can do without, but they don't go together.

On the opening night of New York's biggest Hollywood event, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert-and they can't afford to make a single mistake.
NYPD Red is a special task force charged with protecting the interests of Manhattan's wealthiest and most powerful citizens. When a world-famous movie producer is poisoned on the first day of a Manhattan film festival called Hollywood on the Hudson, they are the first ones called. Then an actor is killed on the set of a film. And a Molotov cocktail explodes at a movie premiere.
Detective First Grade Zach Jordan and his new partner-and ex-girlfriend-Detective Kylie MacDonald are assigned to the case. The killer has every murder, every escape, planned down to the last detail-and he's scripted an explosive finale that will bring New York and Hollywood to its knees. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD Red is a mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (Time).

Q: How to add LWC/Aura dynamic App Builder component properties? I am looking for ways to create Design Properties for an Aura or LWC component so that I can render different values in component properties based on chosen value in one property.
Something very similar to how standard Related Lists - Single component works. Whenever we change Parent Record value, the Related List dropdown values change accordingly.
How can I do this? I've been looking for this kind of functionality for so long and didn't noticed Salesforce already did in there proprietary base standard component. This is one feature that should be made available to developers on priority I would think ...

A: This is currently nothing more than an Idea (make sure you go vote for this!). Unfortunately, you can't do this today, nor is there a known timeline for this feature (future readers: if this comes out, remind me to edit this answer).

One of the eight NZ Great Walks, highly-maintained tracks with serviced huts (flushing toilets, gas for your stoves, and a hut warden to give you weather advice). It is a 32-km, 2-4 day track. Passes through beech-forested valleys, alongside crystal clear rivers, past alpine lakes, and across a mountain pass.
I would recommend the Routeburn Flats Hut as the first hut if you are a beginner, or with a family, or just want some quite. It makes the second day much longer, but worth it for the peaceful location of the hut (and the handful of residents).


Advertising is always a gamble, but Facebook is putting the odds back in advertisers favor by offering them a way to pitch to important people on the social network.
A new patented technology allows Facebook to find 'experts' and 'influencers' on the network, who are not only more likely to share the content, but normally have more knowledge to back up sharing.
These people are obviously more lucrative than the typical Facebook user who might like or follow a certain brand, but have no sharing clout to push the advertising to other people.
The patent was added in 2011 by Facebook advertising chief Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, but has only been granted in the past few weeks. Typically, the US Patent and Trademark Office take around two years to grant a patent.
Having this technology available could bring in even more money for Facebook, since advertising are obviously keen to find even more targeted advertising. The cost of advertising to highly followed or experts-in-the-field will cost more than the typical advertising campaign, but the rewards could be huge.
Coupled with new investments in video advertising and the launch of more Instagram advertising, Facebook is starting to grow an ad-empire to rival Silicon Valley neighbour Google.
In the past two years, Facebook has been trying to implement followers rather than pages, allowing celebrities and viral networks to connect with fans and friends on the same account, which could tie into the influencer advertising.
Facebook normally doesn't patent its new technologies, but in a world where Google, Yahoo and Microsoft will gobble up any new advertising ideas, it might be best for the social network to safeguard its new creation.

Who The Hell Are Cloak And Dagger Anyway?
By Jamie Lovett - September 5, 2017 03:46 pm EDT
Last week, Marvel Television announced the actors chosen to star in the upcoming Cloak and Dagger television series coming to Freeform.
Created by Bill Mantlo and Ed Hannigan, Cloak and Dagger have been a fixture of the Marvel Comics Universe since they first appeared in 1982 in Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man #64.
However, Cloak and Dagger aren't the best-known characters Marvel has ever published. They've had their own series at times, but are usually seen as guest stars or supporting characters in other books or stories.
That's why ComicBook.com is here to help. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about Cloak and Dagger.
Tyrone Johnson, Cloak, was a 17-year-old boy from Boston with a stutter. Ty's speech impediment prevented him from being able to stop his friend from being shot and killed by a police officer who mistakenly thought the boy had committed a robbery. After the incident, Ty ran away from home and wound up in New York City.
It was in New York that Ty met Tandy Bowen. Tandy had a lived a privileged life in Ohio, but ran away to New York because she felt neglected by her supermodel mother.
After becoming friends, Tandy and Ty were kidnapped and delivered to the Maggia, an organized crime family, as lab rats to test synthetic heroin on.
Somehow, Tandy and Ty survived the testing and were given superpowers. These powers may or may not be present because they are both mutants - the exact explanation has changed back and forth over the years.

Dagger's Powers
Tandy Bowen became Dagger. Dagger is able to generate what is called "living light," I can of life force, far in excess of what a normal human produces. Since her powers are tied to her own life force, she restrained herself or risks pushing herself to a fatal extreme.
Dagger's primary offensive use of her powers is the manifestation of "light daggers." The light daggers are approximately 6-inches in length, and Dagger can easily throw them from her fingertips. They only effective living creatures, and seem to lose potency the further away from Dagger that they travel. Dagger is able to alter her light daggers' course to some extent, even giving them a limited tracking ability, particularly when seeking out Cloak. Being hit with a dagger disrupts the target's life force and can make them see visions of alternate versions of their life.
Dagger can also perform "living light detoxification." The ability purges toxins, drugs, and other substances from a person's system, and can even cure drug addiction.
Dagger can also manipulate her living light for other purposes, such as illuminated dark areas.
Cloak's Powers
Tyrone Johnson became Cloak, a conduit for an energy called Darkforce. Cloak's very body is a portal to the Darkforce Dimension. The Darkforce Dimensions is ruled by a being called the Predator. The Predator's hunger afflicts Cloak, cursing him with the need to consume the life forces of other beings. Dagger is able to satiate Cloak's hunger with her living light.
Cloak is able to channel the Darkforce throughout an area, usually using his cloak as the focal point. The Darkforce envelops the area in darkness and those caught within feel a deep cold and a debilitating fear. Anyone left for too long in Cloak's Darkforce could be driven insane or even die as the life force is drained. Dagger's living light provides protection from these effects for herself and for others.
Cloak can also enter the Darkforce Dimension and use it as a mean of teleportation. Moving just a few steps in the Darkforce Dimension can allow Cloak and those who travel with him to travel miles. Usually, Dagger is the only passenger joining Cloak, but he has been capable of teleporting dozens at once when necessary.
Cloak is also naturally intangible. He can become solid through force of will or through absorbing light.
Allies & Enemies
Cloak and Dagger debuted by teaming up with Spider-Man to take on Silvermane, the Kingpin, and the Punisher. They've remained frequent allies of Spider-Man, playing roles in the "Maximum Carnage" event and "Spider-Island.
The Cloak and Dagger ongoing series mostly focused on Cloak and Dagger trying to fight the drug trade rather than supervillains. Eventually, they wound up becoming entangled with the New Mutants, beginning a longstanding relationship with the mutant community.
For a time, Dagger was a member of the New Warriors, which caused some tension between her and Cloak. At one point, Cloak went mad from his hunger for life force and Dagger joined the Marvel Knights to enlist their aid in stopping him.
Cloak and Dagger are close allies of the Runaways. Originally, Cloak and Dagger were manipulated by corrupt police into trying to track and apprehend the Runaways. Once things were cleared up, Cloak and Dagger acknowledged the Runaways as kindred spirits. Later, Cloak was framed for assaulting and hospitalizing Dagger and sought the aid of the Runaways to clear his name.
During Civil War, Cloak and Dagger both join Captain America's Secret Avengers, with Cloak serving as their primary means of transportation.
During Dark Reign, Norman Osborn recruited Cloak and Dagger into his Dark X-Men team. When Emma Frost and Namor betrayed Osborn, Emma offered Cloak and Dagger the opportunity to join the X-Men on Utopia, which they accepted. Cloak and Dagger stayed with the X-Men on Utopia for a while but eventually returned to New York City.
Following the Secret Wars event, Cloak and Dagger were revealed to be under the thrall of the villain Mister Negative, who had inverted their powers - Cloak was now attached to life force, and Dagger to Darkforce. Once Spider-Man was able to defeat Mr. Negative, Cloak and Dagger were freed from his influence and restored to their previous state. Cloak and Dagger decided to stay in Hong Kong, where the battle took place, to guard it against any future attacks by Mr. Negative or other villains.

Jake Kolbe threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as Illinois State delivered South Dakota State its first conference loss with a 38-21 win on Saturday.
Kolbe had 138 yards passing for the Redbirds (4-5, 2-4 Missouri Valley Conference). Jamal Towns ran for 136 yards and a score.
Kolbe ran for an 18-yard touchdown and threw two scoring passes to Anthony Warrum in the first half to give Illinois State a 28-14 advantage at halftime.
The Jackrabbits (5-3, 4-1) cut the Redbirds lead to 28-21 on a 30-yard scoring pass by Taryn Christion with 11:39 left in the third quarter. But two Christion interceptions in the fourth by DraShane Glass, in the end zone, and La'Darius Newbold - who returned his 92 yards for a score - ended SDS's hopes of a late rally.
Christion threw for 430 yards and two touchdowns and was intercepted three times. He also ran for a score.
Joey Borsellino's 2-yard touchdown reception with 32 seconds left lifted Western Illinois to a 35-34 win over South Dakota on Saturday.
Miles Bergner's 54-yard field goal attempt as time ran out was wide as South Dakota (4-4, 3-2 MVFC) saw its three-game conference winning streak snapped.
On third-and-goal with three receivers left and a back in motion to the left, Sean McGuire threw the game-winner to Borsellino wide open to the right side to cap an 80-yard scoring drive.
Lance Lenoir had six catches for 111 yards and a TD for Western Illinois (6-2, 3-2).
Steve McShane and Jamie Gilmore had rushing touchdowns for the Leathernecks. McShane ran 13 times for 112 yards.
Streveler carried 21 times for 102 yards and a TD and completed 29 of 40 passes for 373 yards and two scores. Streveler's 1-yard run with 1:12 left in the first half gave USD a 31-14 lead.
The Leathernecks needed most of the third quarter to get back into the game. McGuire scored on a 6-yard run with 11:58 left in the quarter and Gilmore scored on a 1-yard run with 1:13 left to make it 31-28.
Bergner's 21-yard field goal with 9:52 left made it 34-28.
After a defensive stop, the Coyotes took over on its own 23. Streveler's first pass was incomplete, but his second to Brandt Van Roekel went for 69 yards down to the Leathernecks 8.
The drive ended when Bouma fumbled the ball into the end zone and WIU recovered for a touchback with 4:37 to play. Bouma finished with 47 yards.
Eleven plays later, the Leathernecks completed the comeback.
As heard on WHOW, Eli Jenkins passed for two touchdowns and ran for another and Jacksonville State beat Eastern Illinois 47-14 on Saturday for the Gamecocks' sixth straight victory.
Josh Clemons, who rushed for two touchdowns, scored on a 1-yard run early in the game after Eastern Illinois (5-4, 3-3 Ohio Valley) lost a fumble at its own 6. The Gamecocks (7-1, 4-0) added two more first-quarter touchdowns on Jenkins' 11-yard run and his 13-yard pass to Josh Barge for a 21-0 lead.
Jenkins, who passed for 157 yards and ran for 85, moved into second place on the OVC career total yards offense list at 10,533. Barge became the first FCS player to make a reception in 46 straight games, tied later Saturday by Eastern Washington's Cooper Kupp. Roc Thomas rushed 13 times for 115 yards.
The second-ranked Gamecocks have the longest active FCS home win streak at 13 and the longest active Division I streak with their 21st consecutive conference victory.
A pair of early Illinois turnovers and a short punt gave Minnesota the ball at the Illinois 49-, 20- and 9-yard lines, and the Gophers turned each into a touchdown on the way to a 40-17 win.
Rodney Smith did the bulk of the damage, rushing for 100 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. Shannon Brooks added 59 yards and a score on a dozen carries.
Smith's first touchdown was a 20-yard burst up the middle with 2:16 left in the first quarter, giving Minnesota (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) the lead for good at 14-7. It followed a fumbled punt by Illinois' Darius Mosely, recovered by Antione Winfield Jr. at the 20.
Jeff George Jr., Illinois' (2-6, 1-4) third-string quarterback and the son of Illini legend and longtime NFL quarterback Jeff George, started his second straight game and went 16-34 for 156 yards and a touchdown.
Illinois starter Wes Lunt suited up but sat out his third straight game with a back injury. Second-string quarterback Chayce Crouch, who injured a shoulder in a win over Rutgers two weeks ago, is out for the season after having surgery Monday, Smith confirmed.
Illinois receiver Malik Turner left the field on a stretcher in the first half after a hit by Minnesota safety Duke McGhee. Turner was taken to a local hospital but was back in the locker room before the end of the game, Smith said, though further information about his injury was not available.
McGhee was flagged for targeting and ejected from the game.
The Illini get a second straight home game hosting a Michigan State.
Nebraska, Baylor, West Virginia and Boise State -- all previously undefeated -- lost on the road Saturday. The Cornhuskers got beat in overtime, the Bears by a field goal and the Broncos by a safety. Week 9 started with nine undefeated teams eyeing playoff bids and spots in the New Year's Six. Suddenly, there are just four undefeated Power Five teams and one unbeaten team in the Group of Five as Western Michigan hopes to get the golden ticket.
The Broncos' boost came as a result of Boise State's first loss of the season. The WMU Broncos moved up three spots to No. 18 while Boise State made the biggest fall, down 11 spots to No. 24.
With the first College Football Playoff Rankings coming out Tuesday, you get the feeling that we're still a few major shakeups away from seeing the playoff picture clearly. The last couple of weeks of conference play should be enough evidence to know that we're nowhere close to the end, but history provides even more reason to believe in the continuation of chaos.
Only three of the eight teams named to the top four in the initial rankings have gone on to make the playoff thanks to a series of bracket-busting defeats in November. We think that Alabama, Michigan, Clemson and Washington are the teams most likely to be in the top four Tuesday, but given recent history, we should also be paying attention to the other teams lurking in the wings to take their spot.
Ohio State, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, Florida, Oklahoma and Auburn all made moves up of at least three spots thanks to the reshuffling.
Alabama, Michigan, Clemson and Washington have risen to the top of the polls thanks to undefeated starts, but after that, the rankings are much more fluid. Teams like No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 10 Florida are joining No. 5 Louisville at the top of the one-loss group that welcomes those Bears, Mountaineers and Cornhuskers after the weekend shakeup.
Meanwhile, two-loss teams like Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Auburn and LSU continue to win and hope for some help in conference title races in order to help their playoff chances.

Q: go) how to i make download service? i make upload server
but i can't make download server
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "io"
    "os"

    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func uploadHandler(c *gin.Context) {
    uid := c.Request.FormValue("uid")
    file, header, err := c.Request.FormFile("uploadFile")
    filename := header.Filename
    fmt.Println(filename)
    err = os.Mkdir("./upload/"+uid, 777)
    out, err := os.Create("./upload/" + uid + "/" + filename)
    _, err = io.Copy(out, file)
}

func main() {
    r := gin.Default()
    r.POST("/goupload", uploadHandler)
    r.POST("/godownload", downloadHandler)
    // listen and server on 0.0.0.0:8080
    r.Run()
}

so, how to i make download server?
i will use post uid & downloadfilename.

A: You can write an new handler and use ServeContent or ServeFile from http package.
f, err := os.Open(yourFile)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer f.Close()

fileInfo, err := f.Stat()
if err != nil {
    return err
}

http.ServeContent(w, r, fileInfo.Name(), fileInfo.ModTime(), f)

To force the browser open the download dialog, add a Content-Disposition and Content-Type headers and write to file content to the body:
f, err := os.Open(yourFile)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
defer f.Close()

w.Header().Set("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=YourFile")
w.Header().Set("Content-Type", r.Header.Get("Content-Type"))

io.Copy(w, f)

FJ North Lda | Algarve For The Half Term?
Whilst the summer in the Algarve is super hot, things cool down somewhat as the Autumn sets in. If you live in the UK, then Autumn means being dark at 4pm, raining for 3 days straight and a selection of colds for the family.


The so-called "mobile optimization" refers to measures that are aimed at optimal display and use of web contents on mobile devices. Since the optimization for mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablets, contributes to improving the usability, Google adopted the "Mobile Friendliness" as a ranking factor.Programming a website and all its functions in the responsive design: Here, web contents, such as the window, text elements, or frames, automatically adapt themselves to the screen size. It, therefore, does not make a difference if a user is browsing with a 10-inch tablet or a smartphone with a 4-inch display. The disadvantage with the responsive design lies in the fact that not all contents can be adapted to every display size without losses. The other page version is specifically created for mobile contents: Here, the content must be transferred to a mobile URL. Moving all content that is accessible from a desktop to a mobile URL is, however, difficult.
1. Videos cannot be played on the mobile device: Anyone who wants to also optimize videos for mobile devices should ensure they make as few preconditions as possible for any software or licenses. For example, video formats that are playable on all devices should be chosen. It is also recommended to work according to the HTML5 standard or create video transcripts if these cannot be played.
2. Interstitials that require downloading the app: If these are installed incorrectly, mobile contents mainly cannot be indexed correctly by Google and other search engines. Banners are recommended as alternatives.
3. Error with redirects: In the case of two URL versions for the mobile and desktop page, redirects must be setup correctly. Otherwise, the user will receive an error message or a wrong page after clicking on the URL. Therefore, before setting up the mobile version, the technicians should come up with a precise plan for the redirect. Moreover, mobile versions should refer to the original desktop URL with rel=alternate.
4. Mobile devices are not recognized: The user agent must be requested for the mobile website to also be loaded. Most mobile browsers pass this on with the server request.
5. Very large files are loaded: The file size of the mobile version also plays a crucial role in mobile optimization. Since the bandwidth is not always sufficient when surfing over a mobile network, it is important to keep the mobile website "leaner" and, for example, work with more compressed images.
2. Optimizing and compressing images.
3. Customizing the head area on smaller displays.
4. Adjusting font sizes such that texts are also readable on small displays.
5. Restricting multimedia since additional animations or sound files require additional loading time.
6. Avoiding hover menus in the navigation.
After implementation of the mobile website, the functionality should first be tested in a simulator. There are different tools that can be used for this. An example is the simulator by Startmobile.de, which is an initiative of Google.

We do not believe that as a customer you should be able to walk into the nearest consultant company and buy a complete IT-strategy, which can then be implemented right away. A company has to be more involved and make sure that the most important key persons, already during the creation of the IT-strategy, are involved and take responsibility for the assignment.
To support this process you can with great success buy expert counseling and assistance in connection to the actual creation of the IT-strategy. It is possible to get help from persons who have a lot of experience as consultant on IT-strategy processes from many different customers, and even get help from persons with experience as IT-manager/CIO.
Our IT-strategy-consultants typically have this experience as an IT-management-consultant within strategy-counseling or as a former CIO.
They will bring new ideas and inspiration, challenge you on your own ideas and visions, and help secure a successful implementation.
We will always fit the counseling to your company and your specific situation, and then offer you the right contractor to solve the assignment.


A couple weeks ago a brother shared with me his testimony of how he came to Christ. It was through his parents; but in a very weird way.
As a child, his parents had been religious in some sense, but never devout. They always kept a Bible around (though it was never read at home). It was probably, in effect, much more like a good luck charm or an omen, or a piece of family heritage and cultural identity than anything.
Eventually he moved out and began his life with his wife. But through circumstances in this man's life, he began to question the world he lived in. He turned to the Bible, which had 'always just been around.' He began reading.
Well, you know what happened then, right? The Lord saved him, of course. And his wife, too. And then, through God's amazing providence, as this man was praying for someone to come and lead him to a healthy church where they could grow, an old acquaintance just happened to 'appear' in his path one day. That old acquaintance had also been saved, and was now attending our church.
They are now baptized members of our church, and we praise God for it.
The one thing that stuck out to me from this was the role his parents played. They didn't home school. They didn't have him memorize Scripture. They didn't teach him the Bible. They probably aren't even believers themselves.
But they did one thing right: the made the Bible available. And what else does God need to work?
So, am I saying that we don't need to think about doing memory verses? We should dispense with Bible reading and church attendance? That family worship and prayer for missions aren't important?
What I am saying is this: Parent, if you're getting the Bible into your kids' world, you're doing well. That's all God needs to work.
The salvation of your children does not hang in the balance with your family routine or your Instagram-worthy-moments. If they see some shortcomings in you, they are not thereby damned to unbelief.
God doesn't need you to be a perfect parent to save your children. But a truly 'good parent' will be diligent to make sure, at the very least, the Bible is present in the home.
Yes, there is more that we can do. Much more, in fact. And there are great resources to help us, as well.
But if we start there, we're doing well.
Thank you. I have often felt the weight of responsibility in sharing Christ as a parent. God to know we're on the right track. God is so gracious!
Good reminder of God's grace, Julian. Funny how He uses sunsets, insects and fall leaves to reveal himself as well.
Nicely put Son and it's nice to know God has people like you continually getting His word out; reminding us all of the importance of His Word.

Als Schlacht von Ktesiphon ( nach dem hier liegenden Grab Salman Paks) werden die Kämpfe zwischen britisch-indischen und osmanischen Truppen im November 1915 bei Ktesiphon bezeichnet. Nach einer Reihe von Niederlagen im Jahr zuvor war es den osmanischen Truppen gelungen, die britische Mesopotamienkampagne bei Ktesiphon zu stoppen.

Hintergrund
Die ehemalige parthische und sassanidische Hauptstadt Ktesiphon liegt am linken Ufer des Tigris in der kargen irakischen Wüste, etwa 610 km stromaufwärts von Basra, 64 km nördlich von Kut al-Amara, und 26 km südöstlich von Bagdad. Die Ruinen der Stadt eignen sich gut für Verteidigungsstellungen. Die osmanischen Truppen hatten eine gute Tarnung und eine lange Linie von Schützengräben vor dem Fluss errichtet. Die osmanischen Truppen bestanden aus rund 18.000 Männern und 52 Kanonen und wurden von Nureddin Pascha angeführt.

Der eigentliche Anführer der osmanischen 6. Armee im Irak war seit Oktober 1915 Colmar Freiherr von der Goltz, ein deutscher General der schon zwölf Jahre lang die Armee modernisierte. Von der Goltz war zwar alt, war aber ein Experte für militärische Angelegenheiten und hatte große Kenntnisse über die Stärken und Schwächen der osmanischen Armee. Die Briten glaubten jedoch, dass Nureddin Pascha immer noch das Kommando über die Truppen habe. Dies war ein wichtiger Faktor, da die Briten an den Fähigkeiten Nureddins zweifelten. Von der Goltz hielt sich in Bagdad auf und konnte nicht direkt in die Schlacht eingreifen.

Die Briten, insbesondere der Oberbefehlshaber in Mesopotamien, John Nixon, waren von den siegreichen Schlachten ihrer 6. Division bis Kut so beeindruckt, dass sie Warnzeichen wie die langen Versorgungswege bei gleichzeitigem Mangel an Transportmaterial oder die gemeldete Ankunft frischer anatolischer Truppen in Bagdad ignorierten. Hierfür waren auch politische Gründe ausschlaggebend: Nach der Entscheidung zum Rückzug von Gallipoli glaubten auch Minister in London, dass die Einnahme Bagdads gerade recht käme, diese schmähliche Niederlage auszugleichen. Zudem stand für Nixon in Aussicht, aus Britisch-Indien Verstärkung in Form zweier neuer Divisionen zu erhalten.

Pläne
Der Angriffsplan des Kommandeurs der indischen 6. (Poona-)Division, Sir Charles Townshend, sah vor, seine Truppen  in vier Gruppen zu spalten. Drei davon, die Gruppen A, B und C, sollten die Linien der Osmanen angreifen, während die vierte, Gruppe D, den Türken in die linke Flanke fallen sollte. Der Angriff wurde von zwei Flussschiffen und einem Kanonenboot unterstützt. Mehrere Flugzeuge sollten die osmanischen Stellungen und deren Basis in Bagdad vor dem Angriff aufklären, diese erlitten jedoch viele Ausfälle, wodurch den Briten nicht vollständig klar wurde, dass sich die Gesamtstärke der osmanischen Truppen in Mesopotamien inzwischen auf bis zu 60.000 belief.

Nureddin hatte über 55 Tage benötigt, um seine Verteidigung und Truppen vorzubereiten. Er stellte seine Soldaten in einer L-Formation auf. Den schwächsten Teil seiner Linie verstärkte er mit drei Regimentern. Es gab zwölf befestigte Stützpunkte entlang des ersten Grabens und einen zweiten Graben für den Fall eines Rückzuges. Die osmanische Artillerie wurde zentral aufgestellt, wo sie die linke Flanke oder den zentralen Teil der Verteidigungsstellen unterstützen konnte. Ihr wurde befohlen, das Feuer zuerst auf die britischen Kanonenboote zu richten, bevor sie die Infanterie beschießen sollten.

Schlacht
Townshend ordnete einen Nachtmarsch am 21. November an, um die osmanischen Stellungen bei Morgengrauen anzugreifen. Aufgrund der schlechten Bodenbeschaffenheit am Westufer des Tigris landete der Angriff jedoch beim stärkeren Ostufer. Auch sollte der Vorstoß durch Kanonenboote unterstützt werden. Doch diese konnten aufgrund der Verminung des Tigris und des Beschusses durch osmanische Artillerie schwer vorankommen.

Zu Beginn der Schlacht kam die Abteilung C unter schweren Beschuss und konnte die Gräben nicht einnehmen. Auch die Abteilung A, die die Mitte der Line angreifen sollte, wurde aufgehalten. Auf der rechten Seite erreichte die Abteilung B die osmanischen Stellungen und konnte diese zum Rückzug zwingen. Aber als sie die Osmanen verfolgen wollten, konnten sie von den Reserveregimentern gestoppt werden. Townshend befahl dann der Abteilung C, sich zurückzuziehen, um deren Erfolge auszunutzen und dort einen Durchbruch zu erreichen. Dieses Manöver war ziemlich kompliziert und die Aufgabe wurde erschwert, als die Osmanen den Briten in die Flanke fielen. Inzwischen war die Gruppe D in ergebnislosen Kämpfen gegen die türkische und arabische Kavallerie festgefahren. Bis zum Ende des Tages eroberten die Briten die erste Verteidigungslinie, erlitten dabei aber hohe Verluste. Auch die osmanischen Truppen mussten große Verluste hinnehmen, konnten aber ihre Position halten.

Am zweiten Tag versuchte Townshend erneut einen Durchbruch, welchen die Osmanen wieder stoppten. Dann begannen die osmanischen Truppen einen Gegenangriff, welchen nunmehr die Briten abwehren konnten. Beide Armeen hatten schwere Verluste durch die Angriffe erlitten.
Am 24. November zogen sich beide Armeen aufgrund hoher Verluste zurück. Als Nureddin den britischen Rückzug bemerkte, ließ er seine Truppen diese verfolgen.

Nachwirkung
Townshend entschied, dass ein Rückzug in Richtung Kut notwendig sei, um seine Armee wieder aufzubauen. Auch die osmanische Armee hatte Verluste zu beklagen, sie verlor 6188 Männer, konnte aber schnell Verstärkungen aus Bagdad erhalten und den Briten folgen. Die Schlacht zeigte eine fatale Schwäche der britischen Armee in der Front: eine zu lange Versorgungslinie.

Carroll, Bluff meet in early South Zone girls showdown Both Tigers, Hornets enter first 30-5A meeting with solid squads Check out this story on caller.com: http://callertim.es/2hY2QWy

Both Leticia Canales and James McMinn have reasons to feel good about how their respective girls basketball teams have played to this point.
Canales' Carroll team is 20-6 and won its District 30-5A South Zone opener by 30 points against Moody (81-51). McMinn's Flour Bluff crew (18-7) has won 16 of its previous 17 games and also opened South play on Tuesday with a resounding 61-23 victory over King.
Both coaches will have a better handle on how good their teams are when they meet in an early South showdown Friday night in the Hornets' gym.
Their football counterparts had to deal with the zone concept in the revamped district in the fall and now get their stabs at surviving the format.
"It's going to put the pressure on our zone because we've got some pretty good teams. Somebody's going to get left out because of the alignment, the way it's zoned up," Canales said. "That's going to be the sad thing. The pressure's going to be on us. We have to make sure we take care of business and not get in a situation where we have to play it off to secure a solid playoff spot."
Combined, the teams have 23 postseason appearances since 2003. Both the Tigers and Hornets are riding four-year playoff streaks and the outcome of Friday's game may play a role down the road, zone format regardless.
"Even if we were playing everybody in a double round-robin it would still be a key game. That part of it doesn't change," McMinn said. "I think what zone play has done for us, the schools — us included — that needed to develop other kids for their squads have had the chance to do that.
"So now, I feel our district, whatever four teams come out of whatever zone, any combination there, I feel we have done the best thing for our district to prepare our kids to come out with the strongest teams in the end," he said.
Both teams have experienced players, although the Bluff's tends to be on the younger side.

The Hornets start one senior, Armani Anderson, but also returns junior point guard Meredith Marcum and has sharp-shooting sophomore Hayle Campbell and senior Savannah Villegas with playing experience. Junior Ciera Baucom and freshman Megan Bazan are the other starters.
"It's gone pretty well. Our kids that've moved up from freshmen and JV squads are improving and getting stronger," McMinn said. "Our true freshmen are getting the experience they needed. Our post play is getting better and I think the last three games or so our shot selection has been better. I feel like we're on a good path."
Carroll counters with four seniors in the starting lineup — Izzy Beletic, Kristen McAlister, Bianca Flores and T'av Satterwite, the latter three with extensive playing time a year ago — along with sophomore Lindsey Evans, who also played a year ago. The Tigers also are carrying four freshmen on the varsity.
"We're getting better. We've got some young kids that are freshmen on the team and they're getting some experience," Canales said. "Every game we feel like they're getting better. As they get better we get better.
"We're going to play a tough game Friday. We play the top team in our zone so it's going to be interesting," she said. "That'll give us a better picture of where we're at."
QUICK BURST
Ranked eighth in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll, Port Aransas' boys are off to a torrid start heading into Friday's non-district game at Vanderbilt Industrial.
The 17-3 Marlins, ousted in the area round a year ago by San Antonio Gervin, made another positive stride in their non-district showdown with Beeville Tuesday night. Port A increased the steam in the second half en route to a 60-40 victory over the Trojans, who reached the Region IV-4A tournament a year ago. Beeville's tall timbers of Waydale Jones and Demontario Anderson combined for 28 of the Trojans' points. But the Marlins countered with a little more balance. Returning All-State junior post Zach Brown scored a game-best 22 points, Logan Kreutziger added 18, including four 3-pointers, and Devon Pate chipped in with 10 to stymie the Trojans.
The Class 2A Marlins already have victories over 5A teams such as Moody, Victoria East, Dallas Samuell and Eagle Pass Winn, as well as 4A schools such as Aransas Pass, Sinton, Lorena, Robinson and Glen Rose. They will be seeking their fifth consecutive district championship when they begin District 30-2A play next Friday against Kenedy.
While the girls already are squaring off, Friday will be the final shot for 30-5A boys teams to gear its games before zone play begins on Tuesday. Also, next Friday perennial boys playoff entrants Aransas Pass and West Oso meet in the Panthers' gym in a 31-4A clash. The Bears are ranked sixth in the TABC poll.
