Let's hope this has real potential, and is not just a white elephant.
'Good' to hear, that they still think they can afford to blow tons of money away into nothing, ignoring that it now lacks here and doesn't solve any problems on our globe anymore. I wonder when those morons can be a bit limited or even better, completely stopped.
America still dreaming the big dreams. That is good news. Period. Full stop.
Nobody can know what will be learned from space exploration until we do it. I am glad that America is leading the way.
People who whine about the cost have no vision and thus are irrelevant to dreaming big dreams.
Great to see the launch... thrilling and I couldn't stop smiling. Also fantastic that humans are once again going to be adventuring in space - as exciting as the ISS is, there's nothing like a moon mission to get the imagination going... just wish we had space wheels and space planes zooming about
The 322-foot (98-meter) SLS is the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA, with more thrust than either the space shuttle or the mighty Saturn V that carried men to the moon.
While the smartphones people carry in their pockets are exponentially more powerful than the computers that controlled the Saturn 5.
Interesting times we live in.
Madverts
An amazing feat of engineering. Bravo

The space agency is aiming to send four astronauts around the moon on the next flight, in 2024, and land humans there as early as 2025.
Haven't we done this already?
Chinas building a space station and Musk is shootin for Mars. I'm sure some Dem or Rep and the corporate MSM will make it seem like "oh we're so much more advanced than the other guy!" with headlines and bots. unless they've found a new energy source on the moon, and they're not building a Moon base, why bother?

From NASA - "We're going back to the Moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and inspiration for a new generation of explorers: the Artemis Generation. While maintaining American leadership in exploration, we will build a global alliance and explore deep space for the benefit of all."

It does seem a bit of a vague reason for a $93 billion outlay. That's the GDP of Luxembourg. It is, unarguably MAGA though, so you'll love it when the boys play golf up there again.

To explore space is to declare that we haven't given up on the expansion of our minds. I grew up on following NASA missions since the late 60s. Really inspirational, and the research potential is infinite.
Peter Neil
Perhaps the only economic benefit is jobs?
The world became bored with moon landings, and I suspect history will repeat itself.
Well China has quietly been doing something on the dark side of the moon, so there has to be potential up there.

There is no dark side of the moon, other than the excellent album by Pink Floyd. Every part of the moon is exposed to sunlight at some point, as it orbits the Earth while the Earth orbits the sun.
There is, however, a far side of the moon that always faces away from Earth. However, it moves in and out of sunlight.
There is no dark side of the moon, other than the excellent album by Pink Floyd.
Matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.
Strangerland
Interesting. Makes sense.
Well, by that definition the earth is dark too.
theFu
That like saying that going to NRT is "visiting" Japan. The moon is a big place.
The SLS is a useful, but expensive, waste of money. NASA tried to kill it when it was clear that commercial space launch would be faster and cheaper, but the US Congress, in their wisdom, needs to get govt money returned to their districts and mandated that NASA keep the project going.
The SLS isn't just America. There are at least 20 other countries, including Japan, involved. The EU has a big part too. Of course, China and Russia are missing. Russia was invited, but refused. US Congress doesn't allow NASA to work with China. Of course, Taiwanese chips are used in the SLS.
There are at least 2 ways so solve big problems.
a) Try and fail, Repeat.
b) Analyze, overspend, hope to get it right the first time, fix what is discovered wrong, Repeat.
SpaceX and most commercial launch companies are doing 'a'.
NASA, due to Congressional oversight, does 'b'. No other space program does 'b'.
Perhaps, but doubtful. Every leap that NASA makes and funds, leads to real-world changes that nearly everyone have benefits from.
CMOS image sensors in cameras? NASA.
Smaller, faster, cheaper, CPUs? NASA.
Nearly everything in a cell phone is from NASA research. Especially batteries.
Used a GPS for navigation? NASA.
LED lights? NASA.
Indoor farming? NASA.
Weather forecasting was greatly improved by NASA in partnership with NOAA.
NASA still does aeronautic research, so higher efficiency aircraft (electric, faster, and long duration) can all be traced back to NASA research and/or funding.
The number of materials science breakthroughs due to NASA are staggering. It isn't just rockets and getting the highest specific impulse possible. A few countries have rocket engines with over 450 secs of specific impulse, which is very impressive. Of course, these aren't Epstein drives.
2020hindsights
Why bother shooting for Mars, then? We have already landed rovers on Mars that can explore that planet.
The Earth is a death trap. At some point, the planet will die. We, as a species, need to get spread out into the galaxy as far as possible.
Just like you teach your kids how to camp - first in the living room, then in the back yard, then at a local campground, and only then in the mountains 2+ hours away from anything, we need to learn to live in space, on different bodies, planets, and eventually around other stars. This is imperative for our species and those species we need to survive. It isn't easy and it will take hundreds of yrs, perhaps thousands, but we've been camping inside the house long enough and need to get to our neighbor's yards for training.
I hope to see a Mars colony, at least a short-term colony for a year or two there in my life. My grandkids should see permanent Mars colonies. More than 1 as we learn more about traveling faster and farther to the neighboring stars in 1-2 lifetimes.
We are taking the first steps.
Hopefully, we will have enough learning and start moving off Earth before it is too late. It is imperative for humans to survive. At most, we have 5B years before the Sun engulfs the inner planets as it becomes a red giant star, but probably much less between large asteroid impacts and gamma rays that can completely kill life here. Some land life will remain, but it is unlikely to be larger than a rabbit. In any specific year, the chances are small for either catastrophe, but over a long time, the chances shift towards 100% likely. A Rogue body traveling through our solar system could alter orbits of some planets, which would be really bad too.
Mmm nope. The moon may not be a light source. But, all of it is illuminated, area by area, at various times. Therefore, it is not "all dark".
Mars has water
The Moon is a hollow spaceship with a captured white dwarf at its center, also...... Sorry, watched Moonfall last night. Good flick

Quick and Easy Cadian Tanks: are Colour Forge sprays the answer?

Crusade: when should you stop levelling up?
I've now played 32 Crusade games with my beloved Cobalt Scions, and since I'm having a blast, I'll continue to do so. There's just one 'wrinkle': half the army's now ranked at Legendary. It's very cool having these veteran dudes, but Crusade does suffer from Marvel Cinematic Universe syndrome, in that nothing dies. That's a good thing; bad feels are prevented, but after a while it strains credulity. I'm pretty sure the design studio made this choice deliberately, and with good reason. That's because I think the solution isn't more official rules. Instead, it's you. The player. So what can you do? There's several solutions. One I've heard of is to systematise it within your gaming group; every X months, reset your whole force, but choose, say, 3 units to retain their special Crusade biscuits. I think that's a great idea, but risks feeling a tad contrived, and doesn't account for different players getting in different am
High Speed Brrt
Even as a yoof, Brrt was obsessed with dakka and explosions, and he could never get enough. Shootas: not enough dakka. Big shootas: still not enough dakka. Warbikes were pretty good, but he needed more. He was convinced an aircraft would be the way to go. Not least of which because fighta-bommers also did that amazing thing where they dived down and dropped bombs on things, which Brrt found to be compellingly fast and loud. There was one problem: the Boss. Sirrus ' initial interest dried up after almost all of Brrt's early experiments resulted in crashes. It made air power look expensive and ineffective, and the boss didn't like those two things. He also didn't like scientifically rigorous sample sizes, since that meant even more expense. Choppas were cheap, and ladz were plentiful. The crashes did look undeniably metal, but ultimately, the boss had responsibilities. A thoroughly disappointed (and vigorously concussed) Brrt was told to go back to his big shoota, and ke

Women objectify women in music videos too, researchers find
By Randy Lewis
April 4, 2012 12:23 PM PT
It's official: Sexual objectification of women in music videos isn't limited to those featuring male stars. A new study by two University of Missouri researchers has found that female artists frequently turn themselves into sex objects in their own videos, begging the question: "Ya think?"
"It has been known that music videos featuring male artists often sexually objectify women, but our study shows that many female artists are objectifying themselves in their music videos," said Cynthia Frisby, an associate professor of strategic communication in the university's School of Journalism. She conducted the study with Jennifer Aubrey, an associate professor in communication from the university's College of Arts and Sciences.
"The images coming from these music videos are very powerful and influential," Frisby said. "Young audiences may interpret these sexually objectifying images as important ways to be seen as attractive and valuable to society, especially with how pervasive these videos are throughout our culture."
They looked at every video in Billboard's Top 10 videos from 2006-2010 in pop, hip-hop/R&B and country music and concluded that the sexual objectification occurred equally across race boundaries, but that female country artists were the least likely to portray any type of sexuality.
"Despite numerous existing sexual stereotypes regarding black women," Frisby wrote in the study published in the Howard Journal of Communications, "they don't appear to objectify themselves any more or less than women of other races."
The university's synopsis of the study didn't indicate what percentage of the videos they looked at were made by men or women.
Frisby and Aubrey did, however, find that female pop artists were portrayed in sexualized dance more often than those in the hip-hop/R&B videos.
"Pop videos contained a different type of sexual objectification than hip-hop/R&B music videos," Frisby said. "While pop videos were more likely to contain sexual objectification related to movement, such as dance and the gaze that is likely to result from dance performance, hip-hop/R&B videos were more likely to contain sexual objectification related to styling and dress."

Past Stage Entries
Past Procession Entries
Bridgwater Life began in 1966 for the Renegades Carnival Club. Roger Evans, David Elson, Jim Bartlett, Albert Ford and a few others, got together and discussed forming a carnival club. With the exception of myself, they all worked at the Wellworthy piston manufacturing plant in Bridgwater. The company agreed that the newly formed club could use its large car parking area as a site on which the club could build its float.
During the autumn of 1966, the members met at the King William Inn, popularly known as the King Billy. It was too late to enter the 1966 carnival but in plenty of time to start the fund raising for the following year. A weekly raffle held within the factory was organised and once a week Albert Ford sat in a cubicle of the gent's toilets folding raffle tickets ready for the draw. Skittle weekends and jumble sales were the other main fundraisers. After the third jumble sale, most of the club members were suffering from flea bites and it was decided never to do a jumble sale again.
The club's first entry was The Rainmakers. The theme was based on the Bantain tribe of New Guinea, a tribe who wore extremely high hats in the belief that they could reach the clouds and induce rain. Brown body stocking were used to give the appearance of natives. Albert Ford, however, as the tribal witch doctor, wore a costume of straw from head to foot. This proved too much of a temptation for one spectator in Bridgwater who tried to set fire to the straw whilst Albert was still inside. The club captain swiftly leapt off the cart, inflicted serious pain on the miscreant and the procession continued, the incident almost unnoticed other than by those in the immediate vicinity. As a theme, it proved relatively successful. On the stage, this new club took fourth place, an unexpected success against the more established clubs. The success was entirely down to the use of a choreographer – Madge Hewitt of the Pantomime Society. Other clubs were soon to realise the benefits of choreography and Wellworthy were only once again to reach that fourth spot. During that year there were two incidents which could have led to disaster but were simply hilarious at the time and they both came on the same night.
Our headquarters was a river side pub, on the West Quay, now known as the Royal Marine Club. The night in question, the river was in flood and broke over the banks, which were much lower in those days with no flood defence walls. The muddy waters crossed the road and continuing to rise, came up over the kerb and then over the step into the pub. Once over the front step, it was downhill into the bar and downhill into the yard out the back. Our changing room was across the yard and the river was beginning to flood it. In the centre of the yard was a drain cover which one member removed believing that a complete river of flood water would disappear down it. Of course it didn't, in fact the drain led straight back into the river. So now the muddy water had found another way in. The cover wasn't replaced when it came to the time to leave our changing room and head for the stage. One member gallantly offered to carry one of the glamorous dancing girls through the muddy waters so that they could leave the pub. As he crossed the flooded yard, so he disappeared into the open manhole, still with the dancing girl in his arms. Later that same evening as we returned, and the river was just starting to subside, we walked along the recently flooded quayside, now slippery with a layer of mud, wearing ballet style dancing shoes. The shiny soles of one of our male performers hit a slippery patch and he rocketed forward and flat on his back shot into the river. It was a bedraggled warrior that climbed out of the river with drooping ostrich feathers where once a headdress had been.
On the road, success came in a different form. It rained everywhere, torrentially. It was one of the wettest carnivals on record and The Rainmakers received friendly pantomime style boos all the way around the county circuit. The club was one of the first to have female members and perhaps because of that has lacked the strength and depth of other clubs established just as long as itself. In 1977, the Wellworthy title was dropped and the club became the Renegades, which it remains to this day. Under the new name, they produced A Night with the Teds, an energetic rock and roll performance which remains one of their most enjoyable. It was one of the many times that the Renegades won the most improved on stage cup. In 1985 tragedy struck. An arson attack resulted in the float being destroyed by fire with just days to go to Bridgwater Carnival. In true carnival spirit, the other clubs, both large and small, rallied around with all forms of support. Materials and lighting equipment rolled in. Engineers, carpenters and painters rallied around. As each club approached the finish of their own float, so members were released to the Renegades and the show went on the road to the cheers of the public who knew how close the club had come to disaster. Today the club remains predominantly a young club with a high proportion of female members. Over the years, it has acted as a training ground for newcomers who have then moved on to join the more successful clubs. In that capacity, it remains a significant club and one that has not lost sight of the spirit of carnival.

Op-Ed: Ransomware — Why so helpless? Why is security so useless?
By Paul Wallis May 14, 2017 in Internet
Sydney - Ransomware is a plague. It's everywhere, and it's not new. Security industries have been aware of it for many years, and yet it's still viable? Why is a well-known method of hijacking computers still possible?
The current state of play with ransomware includes copycat malware, and waves of attacks. The pattern is the same; computers are encrypted, and you have to pay to have your computer unlocked, trusting the hackers to un-encrypt. The response? Much handwringing and caterwauling, and "Isn't it terrible?" comments from anyone with media access, and no noticeable effective action during the current crisis.
Encryption simply encodes software functions differently. If you don't have the key to un-encrypt, you're screwed. You need safe backups, and even hard copy, if necessary, to protect your information.
Ransomware, naturally, is targeted at companies which are likely to be good sources of revenue for hackers. You could predict which companies are the most likely to be hit.
Ransomware is also a form of extortion, basically a criminal offence. Not much action on this front, either. A few cases could deliver a significant deterrent.
Old systems are major liabilities. Big organisations, like the U.K. NHS are even still using XP, a long-obsolete, almost completely unprotected operating system. This is an own goal, and inexcusable in any modern nation's health service. The damage is extensive, and although I don't doubt for a second that someone's trying very hard to fix the problems, this major hit was easily avoidable and should never have happened.
Ransomware: how hackers take your data hostage
Simon MALFATTO, Iris de VERICOURT, Jonathan JACOBSEN, AFP
Why internet security is such a bad joke
If you're somehow forming the impression that this is Business As Usual for everyone but the victims, you're quite right. Internet security is a joke, and a bad one. Cyber attacks, whether espionage or criminal, have never really stopped in the 20+ years history of the modern Internet. Ransomware is about as endangered as a sacred cow in India. Typically, security is a cash cow, and everyone gets milked regularly. I've met some very arrogant people from the industry, and my personal opinions aside, I don't see what they have to be arrogant about.
As a matter of fact, you don't even need software to hack in to a system. Fairly basic coding knowledge is all that's required. I'm not going to tell you how, but a few code characters can do it quite easily.
Basic encryption is also pretty easy. You can do it yourself with some email services. No talent required, just a simple two-step process to encrypt and un-encrypt.
What's missing from security?
To start with, a master key for computer users to manage encryptions is missing. You could have a clients-only standalone with a fast "unlock everything" function, which is basically restoring normal functions and eliminating the encryption coding. It could also search for and eliminate the payload copies the current ransomware is generating if it is un-encrypted.
Also missing are any prevention measures against payloads. I remember when Microsoft was ridiculed for adding the "Do you want to run this" step in its software, and the ridicule has been proved wrong so often. Why not throw a few spanners in the works of payload installs? Why not have a "don't run anything unless I say it's OK" function, almost identical to existing security?
Cloud-based restore points on secure servers might also work. OK, it'll cost something, but better that than extortion from anyone with a bit of encryption software.
SQL-based passwords are also very hard to crack. These are like banking passwords, three levels, and considered hard targets. Make it five levels, and they'd be almost impossible to crack. Theoretically, they could be, but at X hours to crack per single computer, it'd hardly be worth it.
An off-computer manual kill switch, using wireless or USB, might also work. Just plug in, and it destroys all non-Windows system coding including encryptions. (Encryption, by definition, has to encrypt known computer codes to work at all.) Might cause some trivial inconvenience to some users, but better than extortion.
Professionals please excuse the slightly simplistic expressions, but I'm writing to consumers and businesses, not you guys. This is all existing technology, or easy to do with existing codes.
Meanwhile, while the Internet "security" industry is having a snooze, check out the anti-ransomware options available on the market. Better than nothing, and who knows, they might even work, for once.

If you are an avid sports gambler and has been placing your bets online you need to understand how a sports gambling forum could be of great help for you. Online sports betting has caught the fancy of millions of sports bettors around the world because of the ease and convenience and also because it is time and effort saving.
Those days are gone when you have to travel miles to particular casino or racetrack or simply go down to your neighborhood betting joint. All you have to do will be to have internet access on your personal home computer and at the press of your mouse button place bets on any sporting event through any sports book online. "Online sports betting" has revolutionized the complete notion of sports gambling.
Seeking sports gambling forums that can provide you big money is the main thing. Find a site that has a betting forum that provides good customer support and one that pays up at once. Locating the sports book of your choice can be a little confusing because of the hundreds that are available online. All you have to do is research. Betting guides, articles, reviews and other material on line will provide you with the expert and professional gamblers views regarding the reliability and trustworthiness of a gambling sports book or forum online.
Sports forums supply you with the chance to discuss and communicate with other like minded bettors regarding the sport you have chosen to bet upon. Most sites provide you sports like football, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, soccer, and even horse racing. Others offer you sports which are unique and a little less popular like motorbike racing, beach volleyball, golf and snooker. It is essential to chose the sports book that offers the minimum bookmarking margins in the gambling business.
This can be the best price for bettors. The minimum bet is $1 that is cheap and simple to double/triple as well as multiply on a single bet provided that you keep winning. The maximum bet obviously is based on the league and sporting event you are betting on. Sometimes the highest bet on sports books are up to $50,000.
Sports gambling forums have many operation policies which allow these to maintain their legality. They just don't accept US citizens bets because sports betting activities are illegal in several states of the US. Sport gambling forums operate 24 hours a day right through the week. Probably the most popular sports betting forums is Pinnacle Sports. This forum comes in different languages including English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Chinese and Norwegian.
The website is superb, easy to use and user-friendly making it easy to bet through. Just about the most essential things to watch out for would be the deposit and withdrawal systems used by the website. Ensure that the site is fast in pay outs and reliable with good channels like Neteller, Webmoney, e-check and e-wallet etc.
Select a sports gambling forum that meets your requirements. Ensure the forum has great odds for bettors, a superb and efficient customer support via e-mail or phone, and a choice of good deposit/transfer/withdrawal methods.

Regular exercise – especially aerobic exercise – is no less important to our health than getting the recommended allowance of fruits and vegetables every day. Studies indicate that exercise lowers blood pressure and elevates mood. It may also reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and certain cancers.
The American Heart Association and the American College of Sports Medicine recommend that healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 65 engage in moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 30 minutes five days a week or vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 20 minutes three days a week. Strength training should be done twice a week.
That may seem like a tall order when we already feel there aren't enough hours in the day, but experts say that the more you exercise, the greater the benefits – both for your body and your mind. In fact, the highly respected Mayo Clinic states that aerobic exercise "may be the magic bullet you've been looking for." Aerobic exercise strengthens your heart which allows it to pump blood more efficiently and improve flow throughout your body. In addition to reducing health risks, regular aerobic exercise helps control some chronic conditions, such as alleviating chronic muscle pain and lowering high blood pressure.
Experts say that regular exercise increases your sense of well-being (which is not surprising), when considering all the other benefits you reap. By boosting your immune system, aerobic exercise helps ward off viral ailments such as the flu. Exercise can help decrease feelings of anxiety, and it can help alleviate feelings of stress. When combined with a healthy diet, exercise can also help you lose weight and keep it off.
And thankfully, with exercise as with vegetables, there are plenty of options to satisfy every preference. Running laps, getting on the treadmill or using elliptical machines aren't the only ways to get aerobic activity into your day. You don't need a gym membership to start getting fit. Skip the elevator and take the stairs at work. Take a bike ride with your children. You can get an aerobic workout by taking a brisk walk through the neighborhood or, if it's too cold out, try doing loops inside your local mall.
For most people, the biggest excuse for not exercising every day is time. But over the long haul, exercising may literally gain you time – experts say that there appears to be a link between exercising and living longer.
So make time to exercise. Oh, and don't forget to eat your veggies every day. Here are some easy exercises you can do at home.
A hoop is a good exercise for toning the waist, flexing the hip joints, and is also an excellent form of cardio. Using the hoop for 20 minutes can burn up to 200 calories. Burn more calories by modifying the exercise and lifting one foot off the ground while twirling the hoop.
Core exercises on a ball help strengthen muscles and improve balance and overall coordination. Work your backside in this exercise by lying on the ball as pictured with knees bent. Lower the hips towards the floor and squeeze the glutes to raise hips until body is in a straight line like a bridge.


Meet the high-powered Washington lobbyist with Down syndrome. I just provide a dessert option for those who enjoy their sweets to show that you can still eat them in moderation and lose weight. They have such a wide variety of foods you are sure to find many of their meals to be delicious. A common concern with such low-calorie diets is that you'll quickly regain the weight, but in a small clinical trial recently published in the journal Experimental Biology , after 10 months, only about one in five people regained all the weight they had lost. Cost per pound of weight loss Avg.
The other group attended a more intensive program, for the same time. This program included individual weight loss classes three times a week. This group aimed at meeting certain goals, like reducing caloric intake and eating more fruits and vegetables. Participants of the intensive weight loss program lost 7 pounds more weight.
The results of the study stressed on the importance of maintaining a lifestyle intervention program like Nutrisystem or Bistro MD, which help in weight loss.
If you purchase the product from a Walmart, the coupon will not apply. Coupons change every few months, and the old ones expire, so just search online for a Bistro MD coupon to find the one that works. Nutrisystem works according to its own dietary regimen that is built and customized to fit the needs of every single consumer.
As a bipolar myself, I have found vitamin B helps me fight depression and anxiety. B vitamins relate to the regulation of mood. I take my B complex supplement from Vitacost. From Vitacost I get health and wellness products at a discount. And the silver-spoon award undoubtedly goes to In The Zone Delivery , a white-glove service for people who'll spare no expense to drop the pounds.
Cost to lose 20 pounds: We looked at two plans from eDiets - one that offers support alone, and another with meal delivery. You can choose from among more than 20 diet plans, including ones for diabetics and vegetarians. Online tools let you set goals, plan menus and generate shopping lists. There's no face-to-face support, but you get support through online message boards and a mentor program that connects newbies with an experienced member.
You can customize menus, search a database of more than 1, recipes and get a personalized shopping list. There's online support from staff dieticians and members plus daily motivational emails. Studies have shown that after one year, carb-restricted diets led to greater weight loss and increased heart health than low-fat diets. However, the advantage disappeared over the long term. How much can you expect to lose? Figure on 8 to 13 pounds during the two- week kick-start phase, then 1 to 2 pounds a week thereafter.
Jenny Craig has a good track record for short-term weight loss up to one year. In a UC San Diego clinical trial of dieters funded by Jenny Craig , Jenny Craig clients lost 11 percent of their initial weight after 12 months, compared with 3 percent weight loss by those who were dieting on their own. The firm's revenue was down 1.

Jackson, WY.....Trailside Galleries is pleased to present Visions of the American Landscape, a show of all new works featuring many of the country's top landscape painters. Participating artists will include Bill Anton, Brent Cotton, Kathleen Dunphy, Michael Godfrey, Lanny Grant, Francois Koch, Robert Moore, Ralph Oberg, Andrew Peters, Matt Smith, Paul Waldum, Curt Walters and Kathy Wipfler. The show will be on exhibit from February 1 through February 28 and an Open House is scheduled at the gallery for Thursday, February 18 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm. The show will include larger, finished studio paintings as well as a selection of smaller plein air works painted on location.
Landscapes have always played a significant role in American art. They convey the artist's subjective interpretation of nature's moods and mysteries. The term landscape actually derives from the Dutch word landschap, which originally meant "region" or tract of land" but acquired the artistic connotation, "a picture depicting scenery on land" in the early 1500s.
It was in the 17th century that the classical landscape was born. These landscapes were influenced by classical antiquity and sought to illustrate an ideal landscape recalling Arcadia, a legendary place in ancient Greece known for its quiet pastoral beauty. In the second half of the 20th century, the definition of landscape was challenged and pressed to include concepts like urban landscapes, cultural landscapes, industrial landscapes, and landscape architecture. Today, the landscape continues to be a subject artists turn to when contemplating the ways we relate to the places where we live and the impact humans have on the land.

SmartOS — Cloud Operating System
1 Октябрь, 2013
In 2005, Sun Microsystems open sourced Solaris, its renowned Unix operating system, eventually to be released as a distribution called OpenSolaris. Among the earliest adopters and most effective advocates of OpenSolaris was Ben Rockwood, who wrote The Cuddletech Guide to Building OpenSolaris in June, 2005 – the first of his many important contributions to the nascent OpenSolaris community. Meanwhile, Joyent's CTO Jason Hoffman was frustrated by the inability of most operating systems to answer seemingly-simple questions like: "Why is the server down? When will it be back up? … Now that it's back up, why is my database still slow?"
Jason knew that these questions would be a lot easier to answer on Solaris-based systems, and recognized Sun's open-sourcing initiative as a huge opportunity. He hired Ben, and Joyent became one of the most innovative users of the open sourced Solaris kernel ("Solaris 11 Nevada builds"), over the years amassing a great deal of know-how in tweaking and tuning it for Joyent's cloud computing needs.
After acquiring Sun Microsystems in 2010, Oracle Corp. closed OpenSolaris. Fortunately, an alternative — Illumos, a new fork of Solaris – wasalready in the works , and many Solaris engineers had left Oracle and were free to contribute to it. Unsurprisingly, some of those engineers ended up at Joyent, as part of a talented team that now contributes very substantially to Illumos, extending it in key areas like KVM (kernel virtual machines), as well as enhancing the Illumos kernel specifically for cloud use.
The Real Cloud OS
What does it mean for an operating system to be designed "for" cloud computing? The fundamental challenge for a cloud computing OS is to present a single server to many (and varied) customers, while making each customer feel as if they are the only one using that machine. From the user's perspective, a cloud OS has to be:
fast: minimizing latency (the time it takes for an operation to complete)
flexible: with automatic bursting and easy scaling
secure: I should never have to worry about what my neighbors are doing
For the cloud datacenter operator, the OS additionally must provide:
ultra-fast provisioning and de-provisioning (i.e., the creation and destruction of virtual machines)
efficient and fair resource sharing
multi-thread and multiprocessor support
easy/automated operation
observability: when something doesn't behave as it should, we need to be able to find out quickly what is wrong and why
Inherited Features
From Illumos, SmartOS inherits powerful features that address these needs. We'll give a brief overview here; some of these topics will be covered in depth in future posts.

The Van Horn Public Library is dedicated to providing the community with access to information, literature, and ideas.
A democracy presupposes an informed citizenry and the public library has an integral role in achieving that goal. The Library provides an impartial environment in which individuals and their interests are brought together with the universe of ideas and information spanning the spectrum of knowledge and opinions. The Van Horn Public Library has adopted the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights, Freedom to Read and Freedom to View Statements.
The Van Horn Public Library is committed to intellectual freedom and the need for the library collection to represent many different points of view. Library staff believes that individuals are responsible for making their own choices regarding appropriateness of materials, and that parents/guardians are responsible for the choices made for their children.
These principles guide the Library's materials selection and use policies.
SELECTION OF MATERIALS
Materials selected for addition to the collection area a reflection of the library's standards as stated above in its Mission Statement and Intellectual Freedom Policy
Selection will be made by examination of reputable review and digest publications. Materials will be added to the collection according to one or more of the following criteria. An item need not meet all of these criteria in order to be acceptable.
current and anticipated needs and interests of the public
suitability of physical form for library use
suitability of subject and style for intended audience
evaluations in review media – may include authoritative review journals and popular reviews from a variety of sources
accuracy and timeliness of content
author's, artist's, or publisher's qualifications and/or reputation
contribution of a work to the diversity or breadth of the collection and its relation to other materials on the subject
representation of unique or controversial points of view
receipt of, or nomination for, major awards or prizes, or inclusion of the title in standard bibliographies or indexes
quality of productions
requests by the public
Materials selected may be limited by:
Physical make-up of material
Balance of total collection
The Selection of media materials will be handled in the same way as print materials. Audience ratings of the motion picture industry are considered a guide for viewers. These ratings will not influence the shelving location of videos.
DESELECTION
"Weeding", the review and deselecting of materials from the collection, is an ongoing process directly related to collection development. Materials that are worn, damaged, outdated, duplicated, or no longer used may be removed from the collection. Other factors taken into consideration are frequency of use, community interest, and availability of other material on the subject.
The Library follows the CREW Method (continuous review evaluation and withdrawal) for removal of library material. This method has been designed and used by many small to medium size libraries. A full copy of this method can be found online or at the library.
The Library Director will determine if the materials deselected from the collection will be placed into the library book sale or discarded.
RECONSIDERATION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS
Patrons may challenge the appropriateness of materials in the collection. A withdrawal request may be initiated by filling out the form Request for reconsideration of library materials and returning it to the library.
The Library Director will respond in writing to an individual's request. The decision of the Library Director may be appealed to the full Library Board. Appeals must be presented in writing to the Library Board at least ten days in advance of the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board. Decisions on appeals are based on careful review of the objection, the material, and Library policies including: this policy, the Library Bill of Rights, the Right to Read and the Right to View and the American Library Association's guidelines on intellectual freedom. The final decision on appeals rests with the Van Horn Public Library Board of Trustees.
Gifts of books and other materials are accepted, but without commitment as to final disposition and with the understanding that they are not necessarily to be added to the collection. The same criteria used for the selection of other materials will be used in evaluating gift materials.
Receipts for income tax purposes indicating the number of items and the date of the donation may be given by the librarian when requested. The library cannot assign a value to these items.
Money donated for the purchase of library materials or equipment will be acknowledged by a letter of thanks, a book plate, label, or sign identifying the donor, and, if appropriate, a news release. The library encourages donors to place as few restrictions as possible on funds in order to permit the most flexible use of donations for the enrichment of the collection. Funds may only be restricted upon approval of the Library Board of Trustees.
The Library Board and the City Council have the final responsibility for approval of all donated materials and funds.

Council leaders back Southend budget proposals for 2020 - 17/01/2020
Southend Council has unveiled plans to resurface roads, improve housing, invest in schools and carry out long-term maintenance on the pier over the next 12 months.
The £47million investment aimed at improving Southend's infrastructure has been proposed by the council in a budget which still has to be approved by the full council.
It includes spending £3.2million on local roads and pavements with £1million going on resurfacing and reparing potholes, £650,000 on improving road junctions, £600,000 on zebra crossing improvements and £450,000 on enhancing the conditions of pavements around trees.
The council's deputy leader Ron Woodley said that a particular focus is also being placed on resurfacing the East Beach Car Park where he hopes to see extra lighting and a new pathway to the station.
He said: "This work would mean people coming to visit Southend and Shoeburyneess in particular can walk to East Beach on a lit park while for those who want to drive, they will have a suitable car park for them."
A further £5.3million will be spent on maintaining and refurbishing the pier which Mr Woodley said was an ongoing investment that needs to be committed to ensure the pier's long-term survival .
This will be on top of the £16million already allocated to the pier last year to replace the trains and build a new restaurant and a visitor's pavilion.
The one-hour town centre parking band that was reintroduced in autumn 2019 will also be maintained and all charges for council-owned car parks will be frozen for a second year, meaning prices will not go up.
Most of the investments are due to be funded through borrowing but Mr Woodley stressed that the money would only be borrowed as the projects get underway.
"The external borrowing will be about £45million but we are borrowing now and investing in infrastructure and into the town. This is the cheapest time to do it because we don't know what will happen in the future.
"When you look at the capital programme you will see that for the next two years it is really forward loaded and that's when we will be borrowing the amount we need to borrow to make sure these schemes come together."
He went on to promise that the council will deliver on many of the projects that were allocated funding in previous years, including the Airport Business Park, a new care home in Prittlewell Chase and the Forum 2.
"These projects will happen this year. We keep saying they will happen but this time they will happen," he said.
In addition the council expects to receive a £2.6million funding boost from the Government for the improvement of local schools. This money will go towards the ongoing expansion of the borough's schools, allowing Chase High School to admit an extra 30 pupils in September 2020 followed by a second increase of 30 in September 2021.
