Pluto lost its spot in our solar system but still holds a place in many hearts

media_cameraThis artist's concept of the famously frosty surface of Pluto with Charon – Pluto's largest of five moons – and our Sun as backdrops illustrates that while sunlight is much weaker than it is here on Earth, it isn't as dark as you might expect. Picture: NASA.
It was 15 years ago this month that former member of the solar system Pluto was kicked out of the club and downgraded to dwarf planet status. And a lot of the world is still pretty upset about it.
But Dr Mike Brown, the man credited with lowering Pluto's status, stands firm. Indeed, on social media he even calls himself "PlutoKiller". Enough said.
But why was Pluto kicked out of the solar system anyway? Were nine planets just one planet too many? Or was there more to it?
THE EARLY DAYS OF PLUTO
The discovery of Pluto was announced with much excitement back on February 18, 1930. It was found by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh at America's Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, with contributions from William H. Pickering.
It was a time of intense planet hunting. Explorers had mapped the continents of Earth and now turned instead to mapping the stars.
And the possibility of a ninth planet in our own solar system – known as Planet X – was the most sought-after prize.
The Lowell Observatory had been on the lookout for the elusive planet since at least 1909, with founder Percival Lowell dying empty-handed in 1916.
But Lowell had actually bagged the prize – he just didn't realise it. Unbeknown to him, on March 19, 1915, his observatory captured two faint images of Pluto. Indeed, at least 16 photos of Pluto have been identified that predate* its official discovery. Pluto was there all along. But no one realised the significance of what they were looking at.
Then in 1930, 23-year-old astronomer Clyde Tombaugh was tasked with taking photos of the night sky a few days apart, so that a comparison could identify what was moving.
"I looked in (the telescope) and I spied it almost immediately, and a tremendous thrill came over me and I almost shook," he later said.
If he was excited about the find, well, the world was over the moon.

NAMING THE NEW DISCOVERY
As discoverers of the new planet, the Lowell Observatory had the privilege of naming it.
They opened it up to suggestions and more than 1000 names flooded in from across the globe.
But 11-year-old British girl Venetia Burney's suggestion was considered the best.
Venetia, from Oxford in England, had a keen interest in mythology* and suggested Pluto, Roman god of the underworld*. She thought it suited a dark and cold world on the edge of the solar system.
She received £5 as a reward (given by her grandfather), as well as the honour of having named the ninth planet in our little corner of the universe.
The name had one other advantage. The first two letters were the initials of Percival Lowell, who had spent so much of his life devoted to finding the planet.
Venetia was still alive in 2006 when Pluto was kicked off the solar system's team.
Known by her married name by then, Venetia Phair, the retired schoolteacher, aged 87, wasn't too upset about the planet's demotion*.
"It's interesting isn't it, that as they come to demote Pluto, so the interest in it seems to have grown," she said in 2006.
"At my age, I've been largely indifferent to (the debate), though I suppose I would prefer it to remain a planet."
media_cameraGenerations of students grew up learning that there were nine planets of our solar system. From top left to bottom right: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter. Picture: NASA.
THEN ALONG CAME THE "PLUTO KILLER"
Fast forward 40 years to a schoolboy growing up in the US in the 1970s, who fell in love with "this funny little oddball at the edge of the solar system."
"It seemed like the coolest place to think about, literally, in the solar system," Dr Mike Brown told the BBC.
That same cool loner of the solar system inspired the boy – who became an astronomer – to look for other objects like it, eventually earning himself the nickname "Pluto Killer".
"It was very clear I think (to) everyone that it was likely that there were objects larger than Pluto to be found out there," Dr Brown said.
"So in the early 2000s I started searching the skies with these brand new digital cameras and we started finding bigger and bigger and bigger objects."
Among the many objects he saw in the sky was the planet which was named Eris, discovered on January 5, 2005.
"If it hadn't been for Eris, Pluto could possibly have been swept under the rug forever. There was no reason to change the solar system. It was fine, even if it didn't make any scientific sense. The problem is, after we discovered Eris and realised Eris is more massive than Pluto, you gotta do something."
media_cameraA white arrow marks Pluto in this NASA New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager picture taken September 21, 2006. Pluto is little more than a faint point of light among a dense field of stars. Picture: NASA.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) voted to downgrade Pluto to dwarf planet status in August 2006. But it was a close run decision.
"At one point, it seemed pretty likely the answer was going to be Pluto stayed a planet, Eris was a planet because Eris is more massive than Pluto, and many of the other things that I had also discovered beside Eris would eventually become planets too," Dr Brown said.
"I would then be the only living planetary discoverer. What I felt about that was fraudulent*.
"The correct solution is to draw the line that should have been drawn to begin with and say there are these eight planets and all these small icy things out beyond Neptune are in a different class of objects; they were all part of the Kuiper Belt."
REMEMBERING PLANET PLUTO
Pluto was a member of the planet club for just 76 years. It takes 248 Earth years for the planet to orbit the sun – for one Pluto year. So does Pluto's demotion even matter?
And if Pluto doesn't care – because it has no feelings – why should we?
Kids are now taught about the eight planets of the solar system. There are catchy songs teaching all the names. These days, the tunes end with Neptune – but kids don't care about that, according to Dr Brown.
"It's not the schoolkids who were mad," he said. "It's the adults who remember themselves as schoolkids (who were) mad. The schoolkids were delighted.
"I mean, what's more fun than coming home from school and telling your parents what they learnt in school was wrong? Kids love that," he told the BBC.
So how does he feel about "killing" the much-loved member of the solar system?
"It's not even that Pluto was demoted. It's that Pluto was finally classified correctly."
media_cameraPluto's haze layer and its blue colour are seen in this picture taken by the New Horizons Ralph/Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) on May 31, 2018. We at Kids News think Pluto is still pretty cool, even if it's no longer considered a planet. Picture: NASA.

Q: Novella, possibly from 1960's, Bingo babies breeding goes out of control I think I might have partially asked this already in the comments on somebody else's question. As far as I remember it was in an anthology of four or five novella's or "long" short stories....I read it sometime in the 1970's but it might have been written earlier.
A woman is standing naked at a municipal swimming pool, no inhibition on nudity by any other users (everyone is nude) in this future society,  she is actually flaunting her pregnancy and the fact she won the lottery to bear a child. The population is controlled by this measure and is referred to as winning a "Bingo Baby"
There's a few chapters on her life and marriage but then it is noticed a lot of other women are also pregnant but unlicensed, there is a race on to find what's going on, eventually an agent realizes that all the women have used the municipal swimming pools recently.
They track down clues about a rogue scientist who has been modifying his sperm to super-survive, he's been releasing it in pools all over North America.
That's all I remember, maybe then a manhunt but I'm not sure
Edit: I read this before I'd read any of Niven's Known Space books and I remember noting the similarity (about a lottery that allowed child bearing) when I finally got into Ringworld.

Engagement and education
From Galaxiids to the Stars – everything is connected!
Take one perfect Hawke's Bay autumn day, fifty enthusiastic Year 7 and 8 students, two teachers brave enough to take learning outdoors and a passionately supportive community of helpers and what do you get? Unforgettably relevant, place-based learning!
On May 23rd 2019, two classes from Tamatea Intermediate School with adult support from dedicated volunteers and Police School Community Officers joined Cape to City educators Megan McBride and Robyn McCool for the latest learning adventure in their Semester-long Freshwater Education Programme (FEP).
Throughout the FEP, learners develop a rich appreciation and understanding of the ecological and cultural connections of their local waterways and wetlands through hands-on learning with skilled volunteers and people from local agencies who are out there doing the mahi of freshwater conservation in Hawke's Bay. Come with us, on our learning journey!
We're standing on the left bank of the Clive River and the inanga[1] spawning site our group is assessing is one of several productive sources of Hawke's Bay's growing whitebait fishery. The term "whitebait" actually refers to the young of five different migratory species of native fish from the family Galaxiidae, (the patterns on the skin of adult fish look like a galaxy of stars) with juvenile inanga making up some 87% of the local catch. Contrary to their national conservation status of "at risk – declining", inanga populations in Hawke's Bay are increasing steadily. This inspiring local reversal of the national trend is largely due to pioneering work, ongoing since 1987, to identify, protect and restore inanga spawning habitat in the region.
"If you want to eat whitebait fritters you have to look after inanga habitat", long-standing freshwater expert Hans Rook (Rooky) tells the students.
The afternoon finds our group at Ātea a Rangi, the Celestial Compass at nearby Waitangi Regional Park. Here, Ātea a Rangi Trust representative Phil Belcher skilfully weaves connections between earth, sea and stars. Phil's korero, drawing on his rich experience as Kaiwhakairo (carver and teacher), brings to life the power that lies in honing our skills of observation and tuning-in to the environmental signs or tohu, surrounding us.
Later, we walk around the southern margin of Horseshoe Lake, where Rooky shows us what's possible when agencies team up to achieve a ground-breaking project with multiple benefits. The 15ha wetland that's under construction here complete with fish passages connecting to nearby waterways will restore habitat for "Mum and Dad" Galaxiids and the myriad other plants and animals connected within the same ecosystem.
Today we've learned how tuning-in to the signs of the galaxies enabled our pioneering ancestors to navigate the Pacific, successfully growing their crops in unfamiliar soil wherever they settled. Tuning-in to the Galaxiids in our waterways now enables a new generation of pioneering champions to successfully restore the mauri of inanga, a taonga species.
Is this an uncanny coincidence, or does it highlight the power of what we can achieve when we simply tune-in, observe and learn from the world around us? Today's learning has transported us from local Galaxiids to distant galaxies, yet we see that it's all connected.
As Rooky says: "It's not rocket science!"

Home/Tech & Innovation/Rakuten wants to help create world's first 'drone highways'
Rakuten wants to help create world's first 'drone highways'
Rakuten has teamed up with the Tokyo Electric Power Company and Japanese mapping company Zenrin to develop a system of drone highways...
Drone highway. The name alone evokes a distant sci-fi-esque future, with flying cars snaking their way through impossibly tall neon-lit skyscrapers. While that particular scene may still be a ways off, a trio of innovative Japanese companies are taking a bold first step toward the creation of drone-friendly 'highways.'
Rakuten is collaborating with TEPCO Ventures and Japanese mapping company Zenrin Co., Ltd., who are developing a drone highway concept utilizing TEPCO Group's electrical infrastructure and Zenrin's 3D maps of the sky. At a press conference in Tokyo earlier this month, the three companies announced that they had already carried out a successful demonstration of drone delivery using the system in June 2018.
Rakuten's drone flying above a TEPCO tower in Chichibu, Saitama.
In recent years, Rakuten has made a name for itself as a pioneer in the autonomous drone delivery industry. In May 2016, Rakuten Drone launched the world's first drone delivery service for golfers on a golf course near Tokyo. The company has since made headlines for carrying out Japan's first drone delivery to a private residence, trialing the first ever drone delivery over LTE and delivering groceries to disaster-struck areas in Fukushima.
Through its drone business, Rakuten has shown that air transport can be a compelling solution to many logistical problems faced by people in underpopulated and remote areas. However, Japan's strict drone regulations mean that plans to make such services a mainstream commercial reality have been limited to date.
"Together with TEPCO and Zenrin, we have begun a revolutionary project to combine drone deliveries with drone highways – a world first," said Rakuten group managing executive officer Koji Ando at the press conference in Tokyo.
This regulatory challenge is what TEPCO Ventures and Zenrin set out to solve when the two companies first teamed up in March 2017. TEPCO Group is Japan's largest electrical utility, and its vast network of infrastructure spreads primarily across the Kanto metropolitan area (which includes the Greater Tokyo Area and encompasses seven prefectures). The airspace above this infrastructure — chiefly power transmission lines — is not subject to the same regulations as public airspace, meaning drone delivery services are a possibility.
Meanwhile, Zenrin's advanced 3D mapping data of the airspace surrounding TEPCO Group's infrastructure is used to create high-tech geofencing systems to stop the drones from going too near or straying too far from the powerlines. Weather observation instruments are also being installed on TEPCO Group infrastructure to ensure the drones are flying within their technical limits.
(From left) Shinji Akatsuka of TEPCO Ventures, Michio Takegawa of Zenrin and Koji Ando of Rakuten at the press conference in Tokyo.
Safety is the top priority for the drone highways initiative, and with Rakuten on board, the team now has access to some of the most advanced drone safety technology available. Rakuten's drones, developed in collaboration with Autonomous Control Systems Laboratory Ltd. (ACSL), particularly excel at maintaining stability in strong winds. The drones stop and hover upon detecting any flight irregularity, and the team recently implemented a parachute system to slow the descent of the drone in emergency cases.
Lunch was delivered with unprecedented efficiency for this Chichibu resident.
The three companies announced that they had held a successful demonstration of the system last month in Chichibu, Saitama — a prefecture bordering the north side of Tokyo. The drone flew a total of three kilometers across four different sections of "highway" above transmission lines, delivering lunch to local residents participating in the trial.

"Rakuten has taken on many different challenges in the drone delivery industry so far," said Rakuten managing executive officer Koji Ando at the press conference. "Together with TEPCO Ventures and Zenrin, we have begun a revolutionary project to combine drone deliveries with drone highways – a world first."

US troops to vacate Shamsi base soon: Mukhtar
From the NewspaperJune 29, 2011
The Shamsi airbase in Balochistan has been used by the Americans for supplies to ISAF forces in Afghanistan and for launching drone attacks in tribal areas. - Reuters Photo
ISLAMABAD, June 29: Pakistan has asked the United States to withdraw its forces from the Shamsi airbase. It will be vacated soon, while the Ghazi airbase has already been handed over to the Pakistan Air Force.
This was stated here on Wednesday by Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar. Talking to a group of journalists, he said the Americans had started moving equipment and materials from the Shamsi airbase which had been leased to the UAE. The Ghazi airbase located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has already been vacated.
The Shamsi airbase in Balochistan has been used by the Americans for supplies to ISAF forces in Afghanistan and for launching drone attacks in tribal areas.
(According to AFP, a US embassy spokeswoman said there were no US military personnel at the Shamsi base.)
A defence ministry official told Dawn that the government had decided to get the base vacated because of a significant reduction in the flow of US funds and the growing trust deficit between the two countries.
The defence minister admitted that trust deficit had grown significantly, especially after the May 2 US Abbottabad raid on Osama bin Laden's compound.
"One year ago they (Americans) thought differently; now they are not recognising the sacrifices and cooperation of the Pakistanis," he said.
About the Abbottabad operation, he said: "They (Americans) have demoralised the whole nation only to kill one man."
Chaudhry Mukhtar said the policy on war on terror needed to be revised because of the rising cost of military operations against militants on the western border and also because the US might further delay or reduce financial support for Pakistan. "Although the eastern border is currently quiet and tensions are at the border with Afghanistan, we need deterrent at the east and ISAF can take care of the western side," he said.
The minister said the country was facing serious social impact of the war. He said that 3,000 youths who had been trained by terrorists were in the custody of armed forces, but the serious issue was their prosecution.
The youths have been arrested during military operations in Swat and other areas.
"We are still not clear which courts will hear their cases," the minister said. He accused the US of not cooperating with Pakistan in plans to rehabilitate these youths, envisaged after the first Afghan war and the post-9/11 war.
Chaudhry Mukhtar said the trust deficit could be reduced if both Pakistan and the US took the matter seriously. "It cannot be done unilaterally."
He said that negotiations should be held with saner elements on both sides of the border to bring peace to the region. "We will have to sit on the table to end the war and the US also has to do that. If the US wants peace with good Taliban they will have to talk in a room and not engage at mountain tops."
Chaudhry Mukhtar claimed that the US had not even given Pakistan the required quantity of equipment, including the military hardware, while the quality of equipment supplied was also not up to the mark.
"Even the helicopters they (Americans) have supplied have not been A-class equipment which was promised at various stages of negotiations; and not to speak of their number," he said.
However, he said, the US had agreed to provide three P-3 Orion surveillance aircraft. Pakistan lost three such aircraft; two were destroyed during a terrorist attack on the PNS Mehran in Karachi and another plunged into sea.
Answering a question, the minister said that widows and children of Osama bin Laden would be repatriated to their home countries in 10 days. "One of his (Osama) wives will go to Yemen and others to their native countries." However, he added, the government had not received any formal request from any foreign country for their return.
Chaudhry Mukhtar rejected the US claim that Mulla Omar is in Pakistan. "First of all, it is absurd to say that Mullah Omer could have taken refuge in Pakistan, but still it is obvious that he would have left Pakistan after Bin Laden's killing."

His life story[edit]
My name is Richard, Christopher, Bayliss. My age is 27 years old and I live in South Birmingham, United Kingdom. My occupation is a warehouse assistant at a pharmaceutical distribution company where I have to pick orders and pack them ready for carriage to chemists around the Midlands, London and Northants. I first owned a Commodore 64 when I was 11 or 12 years old, as a Birthday present on Christmas day. I was mainly a games freak then.
I first got into the creative side of the Commodore 64 by using Sensible Software's shoot 'em up construction kit. There was a SEUCK cult in the 1990's. I have to admit. The first ever game I wrote was nothing too special. It was just an experimentation on creating graphics and generally playing around with this tool. What was my first game? It was called "Clip Clop". The game used background from SEUCK's Slap & Tickle, but the sprites were completely daft. The player was a black and orange square and the bullets were white squares. There were mad enemies too, which included barred windows, and other silly sorts.
In 1994 I learned small bits of BASIC programming and started to end up with games, where each object kept rolling, and you had to hit the Spacebar, to see whether or not you get a match of 3 coloured balls in a row. When people pressed space, if there was a match of 3 green balls in a row, the player won points. Else if they failed to match the 3 balls then game was over. It was simple to code, but I found it to be fun. 1994 was also the year I bought a utilities tape from Binary Zone PD, after it was featured in the Commodore Format magazine (Issue 44). This was when I started to play around with different graphics editors, sprite editors and music editors like Future Composer, DMC, USA Music Assembler and other tools.
1995 was the year I started grabbing loads of tools and tool collections from public domain libraries (Well, I had to buy those and they were really cheap. All being charged were disks and copying fee which was about £1.25). The value for money was excellent. Megatronix PD had a massive range of tools disks that I thought I check out and play with. 1995 was also the year I learned hacking - erm, not hacking exactly but ripping IRQ interrupts, etc. It wasn't until 1999 I learned to code IRQ. Anyway back to 1995. The interrupts were ripped, and I used to import music that I created in DMC or any other music composers and import those into my own BASIC game creations.
Those years I still made loads and loads of games using SEUCK. Nyaaaah! was the first ever game I released to the public domain. As an added bonus, when I released this game to Binary Zone PD, music was added to the game. It was a rendition of a tune called "Pianowork", which Brian/Graffity did on the DMC player. Through those years, I was learning to hack my SEUCK creations to try and do something different. The only best thing that I could do was update the colour bars with some more nice raster bar colours. I was very pleased with my result. You'll notice how in SEUCK you can't manage the colour bars of your own SEUCK game, unless you could enter the M/C monitor on the action replay.
1999 was the year I moved on to assembly coding. My first ever assembly coded game was call Cetimiex. The name was obviously non-existant and was plain shit. However, it was my first attempt at coding a game and it had to be bad. The game had loads of bugs in it, which could not have been helped, as I was learning at that time. The main game project in 1999 was Target-X, which took a few weeks to create. Once this game was finished, it turned out to be a good result, despite bugs still there.
It wasn't until 2001 I joined the scene and launched The New Dimension web site brand. I was invited to join a demo group called Civitas as a musician. I agreed. Music was my strongest task in the scene. Programming was my weakest. However, as time moved further, I created more and more fun games for fun, and now my web site seems to be crammed with practically every single game creation I produced.
It is not only games that I created in the scene. I also created stuff like intros to link to my own games. People asked me to stop making those intros for my own games as they look more like cracktros and make file size longer. I used TND intros in the past, to show off my own label. However later games never used the TND cracktro-style intros the games were on their own. As well as intros, I used to create my own demos, and co-op demos. The best demo in my experience so far had to be the demo part I wrote for Civitas' entry for Cosine's Singles demo project. I was impressed with my result. It was something simple to code, looked very nice. Especially with JSL's logo/picture.
As times moved on and on. I created more and more games, but the best game that I created had to be the following titles: Balloonacy (People loved this game), Balloonacy 2, Bomb Chase, Grid Zone Remix (Loads of people like this enhanced version of the original Grid Zone) and Heavy Metal Deluxe.

Aug 12 Boxing's Most Overlooked Champion Shinsuke Yamanaka Returns August 15 Against Luis Nery

It has been an unusually busy summer for the sport of boxing. Lost in the shuffle between Floyd Mayweather facing Conor McGregor and next weekend's Super Welterweight (140) unification bout between Terence Crawford and Julius Indongo is Japanese WBC Bantamweight champion (118) Shinsuke Yamanaka (27-0-2, 19 KOs). Yamanaka is one of the best boxers on the planet with many respected publications like RingTV ranking him as one of the ten best pound-for-pound. Still, most fans have not seen Yamanaka fight outside of YouTube and at 34 years of age may not have the opportunity to do so for much longer.
Yamanaka has fought all of his fights in his native Japan and fights in one of boxings least publicized divisions. This has contributed to his lack of star power outside of Japan. However, he is one of the few fighters in the sport currently to have made a real legacy in a weight class. Yamanaka has made 12 successful title defenses of his WBC championship with eight by way of knockout. He is also only four defenses away from tying the division record set by Orlando Canizales (50-5-1, 37 KOs).
Last year Yamanaka was involved in one of the best fights of the year when he faced Anselmo Moreno (36-6-1, 12 KOs) in a rematch that featured five knockdowns. Moreno is best known for his fights with Abner Mares and Vic Darchinyan. Yamanaka ended up getting the stoppage victory in the seventh round. The fight might have been awarded fight of the year honors if it were not for Orlando Salido and Francisco Vargas putting on a classic last June.

This upcoming Tuesday Yamanaka will attempt to make the 13th defense of his title. The Japanese champion will go against the number one contender for his WBC title against Mexico's Luis Nery (23-0, 17 KOs). Unfortunately, the fight will not be televised live on any channel that is readily available for most consumers. It may be another find on YouTube in the upcoming weeks.
While Yamanaka has established himself as the best bantamweight in the division, unification fights with the other titleholders in the division have yet to occur. Fights with WBO champion Zolani Teti (25-3, 20 KOs) or even two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs) who fought in Japan in 2014 would be a way for Yamanaka to end his career with a fight that many fans would be interested in watching. Few fighters have shown the consistency that Yamanaka has displayed in his career. While fame has never come his way, it is possible that when his career is over, he may be headed into the hall-of-fame.

Q: .NET Core Output formatters order I have 3 output formatters, one of which is my custom output formatter that should be triggered when SupportedMediaType is Excel (Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel).
      services.AddControllers(options =>
      {
            options.OutputFormatters.Add(new ExcelOutputFormatter());; // Excel stylesheet XML
      }).AddNewtonsoftJson().AddXmlSerializerFormatters();

However, if my header is Accept: */*, the application sends me to ExcelOutputFormatter. Is there a way for me to use the JSON output formatter instead of the Excel one by default?

A: You would need to mimic the approach used by AddNewtonsoftJson and AddXmlSerializerFormatters, so that you can chain it after those two; this is relatively simple:
services.AddControllers(options => {})
    .AddNewtonsoftJson().AddXmlSerializerFormatters().AddExcelOutputFormatter();
// ...
public static IMvcBuilder AddExcelOutputFormatter(this IMvcBuilder builder)
{
    builder.Services.TryAddEnumerable(
        ServiceDescriptor.Transient<IConfigureOptions<MvcOptions>, ExcelOutputFormatterSetup>());
    return builder;
}
class ExcelOutputFormatterSetup : IConfigureOptions<MvcOptions>
{
    void IConfigureOptions<MvcOptions>.Configure(MvcOptions options)
    {
        options.OutputFormatters.Add(new ExcelOutputFormatter());
    }
}

This should get the timing correct so that you're at the correct position in the chain.
As a side note: you may also want to add to options.FormatterMappings.

A: Working off Marc's solution, you could minimise the code and make it more readable by using the option.AddMvcOptions method.
services.AddControllers()
   .AddNewtonsoftJson()
   .AddXmlSerializerFormatters()
   .AddMvcOptions(options =>
   {
       options.RespectBrowserAcceptHeader = true;
       options.OutputFormatters.Add(new ExcelOutputFormatter());
   });

This solved the issue for me.

Three Evansville-area men are still waiting on Indiana's death row | Webb
Jeffrey Weisheit was supposed to die a long time ago.
The Evansville man was sent to death row for the unspeakable murders of his girlfriend's children, Alyssa Lynch, 8, and Caleb Lynch, 5.
In the middle of the night on April 10, 2010, he set fire to the children's home in Northern Vanderburgh County. Police later discovered that Caleb had been bound to a chair. A dishrag had been jammed in his mouth. Flares were found near his body.
The children – who often played cars together and were described as sweet and caring – died of smoke inhalation. They were alive when the fire was set.
On July 11, 2013 – five years ago this week – Judge Daniel Moore sentenced Weisheit to die by lethal injection on June 19, 2014. The Indiana Supreme Court upheld his conviction and sentence a year later.
"We know you ended all their dreams," Moore said.
But Weisheit is still alive. He's one of 13 Indiana prisoners waiting to die in Michigan City. A 14th, Debra Brown, was also convicted in an Indiana killing but is jailed in Ohio on yet another murder rap.
Including Weisheit, three of those prisoners committed their crimes in the Evansville area. And the other two have been loitering on death row a lot longer than Weisheit.
They'll be there for awhile.
Indiana's capital punishment system is a wreck. It's constipated with appeals, but even if those vanished tomorrow, none of the executions could move forward.
The state spent years trying to find a lethal injection drug that wouldn't leave prisoners convulsing on a gurney. Legislators eventually settled on Brevital, and the Indiana Supreme Court OK'd the drug earlier this year. But Brevital's manufacturer has repeatedly said that it doesn't want its product used to kill people.
Indiana hasn't executed a prisoner since 2009. The last to go was another Evansville man, Eric Wrinkles. And if something doesn't change, he could be the last ever.
That means, no matter what a judge says, Weisheit will keep drawing breath. These two other men will, too.
John Stephenson
On March 28, 1996, Stephenson emptied the contents of an assault rifle into a pickup truck at a remote Warrick County intersection. Inside were John "Jay" Tyler, Brady Southard and his wife Kathy Tyler.
When he was sentenced to die on June 17, 1997, the courtroom exploded into applause. While Stephenson sat at the defense table, Jay Tyler's mother, Sue Tyler, walked up behind him.
"I hope you burn in hell," she said.
Judge Edward Campbell gave him his ticket there. Stephenson was slated to die "before sunrise" May 8, 1998.
Twenty years later, he's still alive. Just last year, in fact, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals granted him a new sentencing trial.
The jury saw him wearing a stun belt – a device that wraps around a person's waist and sends waves of electricity into its wearer if he acts unruly. It's basically the human equivalent of a shock collar you'd wrap around a snarling dog.
The judges felt seeing that could have affected the jury's perception. A new trial date hasn't been set.
Roy Lee Ward
"It was the most brutal crime scene I've seen in my 24 years."
That's Indiana State Police detective Randy Cuttrell describing the rape and murder of Spencer County teenager Stacy Payne.
On July 11, 2001, Ward broke into Payne's house and committed acts so horrific no string of words could ever adequately describe them. And it all occurred while Payne's terrified little sister hid upstairs, calling police.
Ward is the one who filed suit against Indiana when legislators named Brevital as its next lethal injection drug. He lost that case.
Several scheduled executions have come and gone, yet he still sits in Michigan City – alongside Weisheit and everyone else.

Oops! I forgot to announce it on this What's New blog: I have started a new series on the main site on criminal justice.
Besides the first page of the series, I now have one on the economics of crime, and one on criminal psychology; i.e., I go a bit beyond economics in modeling criminal behavior.
The goal is to make people aware of how we can reduce crime while restoring lost civil liberties at the same time.


Childism. Noun. (uncountable) A prejudice and/or discrimination against the young.
A systemic condition that promotes stereotypes of the young.
Fresh from owning the stage at the national Laneway Festival, Castlemaine teenager Kian has today dropped new single, 'Childism', the follow up to his debut single 'Waiting'. It is a deeply personal account in contrast to 'Waiting' and demonstrates his ability to merge melody with subtle influences of rap.
Just announced is Kian's performance at the UK's Great Escape Festival 2019. He'll hit the stage in Brighton this coming May in his first visit to the UK. Tickets on sale now.
Kian's debut single 'Waiting' has resonated strongly, the track reaching #20 on triple j's Hottest 100 of 2018, peaking at #16 on ARIA and reaching #1 on Shazam.


First of all let me qualify that I am a first time builder and will ask stupid questions.
I have QB wings. I have seen where many builders are removing the tanks and doing leak tests. Is this necessary? They come from Van's installed and tested. Why not just test for leaks with them in the wing and if none are found you do not have to remove the tank. If you do have a leak then remove the tank and investigate further. I know I am oversimplifying this and am asking for guidance as to how I should proceed.
Why would you not? I wouldn't assume anything about quick build. Take the tanks off, visual inspect as much of the tanks and the wings as you can. Do the leak test on each tank. Then, put it all back together, leaving nothing to chance. -JMHO!
The tanks on our -10 were just fine ---- if it were me, fly the plane unpainted the first several hours ---- work all the bugs out and, if a leak develops, then remove and fix --- chances are they will be just fine.
Leak testing the tanks can be done with the tanks installed but you will not be able to see identify any leaks on the baffle side of the tank or the outboard most rib side.
My suggestion, take them off and test completely. My QB tanks were fine. It also gets you familiar with the process and requires you to check the torque on the screws.
If they were my QB wings I'd simply test the tanks installed on the wings with a water manometer (just like I did with the tanks I built for both my RV-8 and -14). No need to remove them from the wing unless there's a leak and you can't find it on the outside anywhere...then you'd need to pull the tank off the wing to fix a leak on the aft baffle.
There are other threads about various ways to do leak checks...some people don't like the manometer method because the level will fluctuate with changing atmospheric pressure. This is true, but I left the manometer installed for over a week on each tank...while the level fluctuates a bit, eventually if there's a leak the 'average' water level will drop to the neutral point. The hardest part about leak checks in my experience is sealing the filler opening. I found some 4" wide vinyl tape online so I could completely cover the opening with one piece and that did the trick.
For me the main reason to remove them was the installation of fuel senders: the easiest way to test the fit of the bends in sender arms was to repeatedly flip tank over - not possible when on wing/stand and very difficult to manipulate the sender arms otherwise.
No leak test will find the "weeping rivet".
I put the tanks on the bench and put 5-10 gallons of 100LL in each. I let them sit for a few months in various postions looking for any telltale blue stains.


Forrester is similar. They sell a workshop where your employees document their perceptions, then tell you to go validate your findings with customers. However, from what I can tell from talking to current and former Forrester employees, hardly anybody does.
At least the workshop is fun and engages the team with the customer journey, right?
Well, it's certainly fun, but the journey you're showing probably isn't the real one.
We also start our process with an employee Hypothesis Mapping Workshop, but we use that language deliberately. It's not a customer journey mapping workshop; it's documenting your best guess of the journey. That best guess is typically about 70% right. The overall framework is there, but the Moments of Truth are all over the place. For example, a recent workshop featured twenty-five participants, generating over a dozen candidate moments of truth. Each group felt that theirs were right, but you can't prioritize a dozen "most important" moments. Your customers need to do that.
This is why the second-most critical item in journey mapping is "involve customers" (we'll address the most critical on Friday).
Our experience is that employees miss what's most important to customers. They get the overall journey structure right, but their interactions with customers are limited to only a few steps in the customer's journey. They don't get to see what happens at the customer site when your software doesn't work, or how the vendor's success (or lack thereof) shows up in a review.
You can't create a customer journey map if you don't include your customers.
We still have challenges navigating the trade-offs when deciding what to map.

Legal Research & Guides
Legal Research is the process of identifying the legal information that applies to a specific fact pattern or problem. It involves learning the necessary new skills to locate and understand the various types of information that may be relevant. Finding the appropriate laws, cases and rules can be time consuming and it can be frustrating because the ultimate answer could be 'maybe'.
There are many books and websites which can teach non-lawyers the basic process of digging in and finding answers to the question "Isn't there a law that…. ?". These days the resources to do legal research may be available digitally or in print; for free or at a cost; in a library or on the Internet. Do not be lulled into complacency believing that if the information is not available on the Internet for free, that it is not necessary to your search. Actual books in libraries are still an essential part of the research process.
The focus of this page is not teach the process of legal research but to direct people to sources of information about how to do research and possible sources of primary and secondary materials.

Interview about Loophole for All for "The Verge" (U.S.). 2013.
Joshua Kopstein: Your works frequently rely on a degree of shock value to start a conversation - What were your main goals with this project and what steps did you take to ensure the conversation will persist?
Paolo Cirio: I feel that these days the truth doesn't produce any change. People tend to adapt to injustice and absurdity. However, when concrete reality arrives, it is tough and it hurts — like a hurricane flooding your house, or working just to service your debt or discovering your privacy no longer exists. My projects try to simulate that shock of the concrete apparition of the truth before people get hurt for real. They try to reveal how present dangers and injustices deserve more attention. With this approach, I attempt to produce a real change and go beyond the notion of art as representation, while still involving a large public in an artistic and political discourse.
JK: What's the most shocking thing you learned in doing your research into offshore tax havens and the law (or lack thereof) surrounding them?
PC: A lot is shocking about how the global economy works! For example, in poor countries locals have to pay taxes to build schools and hospitals, and meanwhile multinationals exploit natural resources and labor without contributing any taxes anywhere, thanks to international legal loopholes. I found it interesting that some of those offshore centers are hubs of the global trade but in terms of legislation and governmental infrastructure, basically in the Middle Ages. In places like the Cayman Islands, they barely have a functional government or legal system. The administrative system they do have is very archaic, even though our "advanced" globalized economy uses it enormously. It's a complex phenomenon though, given that Ireland, the Netherlands, Delaware and Nevada are also considered offshore centers. It is not too complex to tackle and stop it, in my opinion.
In general, I would say that the world is always changing faster because of the development of technology and connectivity, but global governance is slow and unprepared. That is the origin of most legal loopholes today . We see the same situation with privacy and copyright issues, where outdated laws and means of legislating are outstripped by technological development.
JK: What have you ultimately discovered about the nature of public information by placing it in different (often inflammatory) contexts?
PC: It's definitely interesting to me to see what the recontextualization of simple information can generate. In my projects, I don't have rich information — they're usually very low resolution pictures, or just the names of companies. Even the quantity is not very high sometimes, like the Street Ghosts project which was made with less than 30 paper posters. In my projects, it's the human, aesthetic and political perception that is shattered in a new way. We live in a very interesting time. We have never had so much information available accessible to us. We don't know how to manage it and we struggle to absorb it. It's like the early days of film, when the cinema was confused with reality. People still get confused about the value of information when it's on a screen, on the Internet, or distributed in unexpected way. Sometimes it's underestimated, sometimes it's overestimated. But the reaction I produce is just as important as showing what is invisible to common perception.

Facebook Secretly Transcribing Users' Voice Conversations is "Illegal" - Pundits
© AP Photo / Tony Avelar
https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201908171076569241-facebook-secretly-transcribing-users-voice-conversations-is-illegal---pundits/
Facebook has admitted that it hired human contractors to listen to audio conversations its users had on Facebook Messenger without their prior consent. Bloomberg made the revelations on Tuesday after speaking to some of the third-party contractors that transcribed the voice chats.
The social networking site explained that it used the records of only those users who chose the option to decrypt audio files in the messenger, and thus checked how well the neural network works. But as experts point out, the problem is that Facebook doesn't mention audio recordings in the data-use policy and users didn't provide their consent to the company to transcribe their communications and share them with third-party firms.
"This is not a correct behaviour, the overall procedural lack of transparency for the end-users. Regarding the purpose of the transcription announced by Facebook, I believe it could be realistic", Pierluigi Paganini, CTO at Cybaze SPA, explained.
As far as why Facebook decided to do this without user permission, the tech expert believes it may have to do with the fact that the Silicon Valley giant was secretly testing new features and attempted to keep its technology secret.
"This kind of technology could be also abused for surveillance purposes, [its] likely Facebook avoided revealing it to avoid being in a new media storm", he noted. He added that besides supposedly testing neural networks, like the company claimed, the purpose could be to train AI "to transcribe every conversation and then perform any kind of analysis on the overall conversations recorded over the time".
Fong Choong Fook, the CEO of Malaysia-based LGMS, a cyber-security firm, echoed these views:
"It is plausible that end user audio messages were transcribed to train Artificial Intelligence systems. Inevitably, when training AI systems, large among of data input is typically required".
Fook believes that Facebook might have 'sanitised' the user data first prior to feeding it into AI training systems, explaining that this process is aimed at anonymising the names and any potential private information in the data, but it's not clear how much data remains.
"Unfortunately, to whatever extent Facebook sanitization works, it remains something unknown to its users and authorities. This could be the very factor that may lead to potentially wild speculations, given the tainted history of how Facebook has handled personal user data in recent years", the cyber security firm CEO said.
Back in March 2018, Facebook let the personal data of around 87 million of its users be harvested by a data analysis firm - Cambridge Analytica - without their permission through a special app. The information was allegedly used to help target political advertising. In July this year the US Federal Trade Commission issued Facebook a $5 billion penalty over the data breach scandal.
But Munzir Ahmad, a New Delhi tech journalist and Founder of Sky Televentures, has said that Facebook is not the only big tech firm that plays "dirty tricks" on its users to make money. However, when the companies get caught, they tend to come up with "lame excuses" as to why they did it:
"Not only Facebook but the mighty Apple, who always criticised Facebook for data breach, was also listening to user's conversation via Siri. If these companies are so true, then why did they stop listening to voice recordings after expose? If they are true and their purpose is genuine, then they should not have stopped it. I mean, if you are not thief then there's no reason to be scared. Right? Look at the Apple, Facebook, Google and Amazon, they all seemed scared when this particular news came. This proves they are not doing these things for users benefits at all", the journalist stressed, also calling these activities illegal.

Home NEWS (Pics)Housewife hacks husband's penis because he refused to have sex with her for 10 years
(Pics)Housewife hacks husband's penis because he refused to have sex with her for 10 years
Monday, March 13, 2017 NEWS
A housewife hacked at her husband's penis with a kitchen knife because he wouldn't have sex with her for over a decade.
Sex starved Rita Yadav almost fully detached Ved Prekash's genitals from the base during her vicious outburst, leaving him in a critical condition and with a cut that was almost four inches deep.
It took surgeons five to reattach his penis and although Ved, 31, is now out of danger, he's still in hospital recovering.
According to Daily Mirror, before slashing at his bits, Rita, 28, knocked out her taxi driver husband by hitting him over the head with a stone grinder.
She locked him in the bathroom following the attack at their home in Ghaziabad, northern India, on Thursday morning and then handed herself in at the local police station - telling horrified detectives that her actions were revenge.
Rita claimed that her husband refused to have sex with her for ten years of their 11-year marriage and she believed he was having an affair.
"He used to tell me he hated me," she said. "We used to fight daily and he told me he hated looking at my face. He always threatened he would have an affair.
"I was desperate to have children. I used to beg him but he said he'd make love to someone else instead. I'd been dealing with the torture for years and I couldn't take any more."

Hi everyone, here is my entry post (better late than never).
I have really enjoyed making this image and getting chance to spend more time than usual on a render.
I have been using podium at work for a while now but usually just to make quick turn around images for commercial projects, so this is a bit different for me.
I'd say about 90% of the components are from the browser, if not more.
Hey rystog, thanks for the comment.
I have been wanting to render some spaces like this for a while now so the contest was a great excuse to finally do it.
Now I've got one done I will try and have a go at some more projects and upload them to the gallery forum. Seeing work like yours in there is really inspiring.
What is particularly good about this thread is the comparison between the very first image, which is what most people achieve, and the final one, which is sublime.
It shows the difference that attention to detail makes.
Apologies for the late reply but thanks for you kind words bigstick, it's much appreciated.
