Blame Canada
by JOSEPH TREVITHICK
On Oct. 28, two F-16 fighter jets from the New Jersey Air National Guard took off and headed for eastern Pennsylvania. Their mission — intercept a rogue U.S. Army missile defense blimp that had broken loose from its moorings.
One can only guess what the pilots were thinking as they watched the white, inflatable blob drift across the countryside. The aviators from the 177th Fighter Wing might have been shocked to see the airship's cable, still attached to its tether, dragging across open pastures and knocking down power lines. In a trip covering some 160 miles, the nearly 7,000-foot cable caused blackouts across Pennsylvania's Dauphin and Lancaster counties.
Did the F-16 pilots joke with each other and air traffic controllers on the ground? Did they keep it strictly business? After training to intercept dangerous or suspicious aircraft, the whole event might have seemed a little absurd.
We wanted to find out, so War Is Boring put in a Freedom of Information Act request for the radio chatter. But on Dec. 15, the Pentagon's top command for North America said no audio logs would be heading our way.
The reason is frankly absurd — for one, it involves Canada, which isn't directly involved with the blimp — and illustrates how difficult it can be to pry information from the military … especially when it comes to accidents in American skies.
The Army's blimp — technically a "tethered aerostat" — is officially known as the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System, or JLENS.
"JLENS is a NORAD mission," Army Maj. Gen. Charles Luckey, the chief of staff for the Pentagon's top command for North America, explained in a formal response to our request dated Dec. 14.
"NORAD … is not subject to FOIA."
The North American Aerospace Defense Command is a bi-national organization responsible for protecting American and Canadian skies from intruders. And because Canada is a member, NORAD is legally beyond FOIA's reach.
"Therefore no search of NORAD records was conducted," Luckey added.
During the Cold War, the arrangement allowed both countries to share the burden of guarding the continent's skies from a potential Soviet nuclear strike. Still operating today, the head of the command is always an American officer, and the deputy commander is likewise Canadian.
However, this fact puts any JLENS records in a weird bureaucratic limbo. A U.S. military blimp goes renegade over American soil, and details about the response are not open to the American public for review. And the F-16s — also defending American airspace — were working for NORAD when they pursued their slow-moving target.
In any case, the mishap was bad news for JLENS.
The U.S. Army operates the 7,000-pound, 242-foot-long blimps and the Pentagon oversees the project, which originally envisioned a network of the airships along America's coasts, each carrying a powerful radar.
In theory, with VHF-band sensors, the blimps will spot fast-flying cruise missiles more than 300 miles away. After detecting the incoming weapons, an X-band unit will help guide surface-to-air missiles to knock them out of the sky.
Since the very beginning, legislators and experts have questioned the plan. North Korea or Iran — commonly cited potential opponents — lack submarines or other ships that can travel far enough to threaten this sort of attack … or enough of them to pose a realistic danger.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Pentagon explained how JLENS might be able to help spot hijacked or other suspicious aircraft. The blimps can reportedly spot vehicles on the ground nearly 150 miles away, too, the Army told the Washington Post in 2014.
With the recent chill in Washington's relationship with Moscow, the Pentagon has again cited the threat of cruise missiles to the nation's coastal regions. Since October, the Kremlin has showed off these weapons in its intervention in Syria.
"Russia is progressing toward its goal of deploying long-range, conventionally-armed cruise missiles with ever increasing stand-off launch distances on its heavy bombers, submarines, and surface combatants," U.S. Navy Adm. William Gortney, head of Northern Command, told legislators on March 19.
"Should these trends continue, over time NORAD will face increased risk in our ability to defend North America against Russian cruise missile threats."
None of this has helped unite Congress in support of JLENS.
The blimps have been beset by malfunctions, limited by the weather and proved incapable of detecting a errant postal worker flying a small gyrocopter into Washington, D.C., according to an extensive report by the Los Angeles Times. Five years ago, a prototype crashed after becoming untethered in a storm.
Since 1998, the Pentagon has paid Raytheon and other defense contractors nearly $3 billion to work on the airship and its sensors. The Army only has two blimps at Aberdeen. After the October voyage across the Pennsylvania countryside, the program's future is uncertain.
And we may never know if the New Jersey-based F-16 pilots felt at all ridiculous having to chase down a blimp that was supposed to be protecting Americans from runaway flying machines.

U.S. Charges Julian Assange With Conspiracy to Hack a Government Computer
The United States has charged WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of conspiring to hack a computer as part of the 2010 release of reams of secret American documents, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday, putting him just one flight away from being in American custody after years of seclusion in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
The single charge, conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, was filed a year earlier, in March 2018, and stems from what prosecutors said was his agreement to break a password to a classified United States government computer. It carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and is significant in that it is not an espionage charge, a detail that will come as a relief to press freedom advocates. The United States government had considered until at least last year charging him with an espionage-related offense.
Mr. Assange, 47, has been living at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London since 2012. British authorities arrested him on Thursday, heavily bearded and disheveled. A dramatic video showed him shackled and being carried out of the embassy and forced into a police van. He was detained partly in connection with an American extradition warrant after he was evicted by the Ecuadoreans.
Mr. Assange has been in the sights of the United States government since his organization's 2010 disclosures. Most recently, Mr. Assange has been under attack for his organization's release during the 2016 presidential campaign of thousands of emails stolen from the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee, leading to a series of revelations that embarrassed the party and Hillary Clinton's campaign. United States investigators have said that the systems were hacked by Russian agents; the conspiracy charge against Mr. Assange unsealed Thursday is not related to the special counsel's investigation into Russia's election influence.
Mr. Assange will have the right to contest the United States extradition request in British courts. Most people who fight extradition requests argue that the case is politically motivated rather than driven by legitimate legal concerns.
In 2010 WikiLeaks released American files that documented the killing of civilians and journalists and the abuse of detainees by forces of the United States and other countries, airing officials' unvarnished, often unflattering views of allies and of American actions.
Chelsea Manning, a former Army intelligence analyst then known as Bradley Manning, was convicted of leaking that collection of files and was sentenced to 35 years in prison. President Barack Obama commuted the sentence after Ms. Manning had served almost seven years.

Cell and gene therapy are new branches of pharmaceutical research, which use new types of drugs and strategies. New types of analytical methods are obviously needed. These methods are mostly based on DNA or RNA analysis, which is not surprising, as nucleic acid such as viral vectors, naked DNA (like plasmid, oligonucleotide) or RNA, as active agens is typically used for methods of gene therapy.
If you want to measure distribution or degradation of your DNA drug, molecular biology methods are the first choice. These methods are based on PCR and are very sensitive and selective. Only few copies of DNA in mixture of host organism DNA should be detected. And looking for a needle in a haystack is exactly the work for GENERI BIOTECH, who is regarded an expert in DNA diagnostic and analysis for more than 20 years.
GENERI BIOTECH specializes in analysis of nucleic acids, especially those needed in biodistribution and safety studies for gene therapy drugs. We have experiences with different types of tissues/matrices analysis, where we take into account special needs of each matrix type – isolation, inhibitors, etc.
Method development and validation, that is tailored to fit our customers' needs and meets requirements of the authorities, is a matter of course to us. Sample analysis, handling and reporting is an integral part of a study, as well as consulting a study plan or auditing by the customer.


Today saw a great walk from Longshaw Lodge which afforded some stunning views of the surrounding area for Dearne Valley Walking Group's party of 14 adults and 1 child from.
After leaving Longshaw Lodge via the edge of Granby Wood we crossed Burbage Brook before descending down Padley Gorge to Padley where a slight diversion to Grindleford Station café was made for early light refreshments.
We returned to the planned route and made a gradual ascent through Oxhay Wood before negotiating the busy Hathersage road and circumnavigating Whim Plantation where lunch was taken. A steep climb then followed before a spectacular walk along Millstone Edge with some great views to the west.
Our path then descended to Surprise View car park before again crossing the Hathersage road and descending back to Burbage Brook which we then followed upstream. We then made our second diversion of the day – this time to the Fox House pub – and then returned to Longshaw Lodge to complete our 7 mile walk.
Congratulations to David Richardson who completed his 100 miles YTD today, the first this season.

BBC iPlayer: seems to work well on Windows XP but what about the rest of us?
Posted on Tuesday 14 August 2007 By Mark Wilson
A few weeks back, I started to listen to one of my favourite podcasts – BBC Radio 4's The Now Show, only to be greeted with:
"We're sorry that The Now Show podcast isn't available for this series. The podcast was part of a trial, which has now come to an end; however you can still listen to the programme for seven days after broadcast, via the Radio 4 website."
The clip then continued by advertising other BBC Radio 4 podcasts – obviously not "part of a trial which has now come to an end". This annoys me tremendously – the BBC is a fine broadcaster but as as it dumbs down its main news programmes and airs more and more tabloid TV (leave that to ITV please), I'm not sure that my license fee is being well spent (that's how the BBC is funded – from the sale of it's programmes, and from a mandatory annual fee for all UK households and businesses with a device that's capable of receiving a TV signal – even if it only receives subscription services like satellite or cable TV). You see, the BBC has spent millions developing a new service called iPlayer (it's a pity they couldn't have spent a few more pounds registering the iplayer.com domain) which will allow registered users (as long as they have a UK-registered IP address) to download programmes from the Internet. On the face of it, that sounds good, except that it's been bogged down by DRM and that's limited the availability of the service.
A few months back, Microsoft UK's James O'Neill and I were engaged in an online (and face-to-face) debate about the need (or not) for digital rights management (DRM). James' argument is that content providers have a right to protect their copyrighted material, that Windows Media codecs are available or Mac users and that Linux users would never allow a Microsoft product (i.e. a Linux port of Windows Media Player) on their system. My argument is that piracy would be insignificant if an easy to use digital media system could be created which works regardless of the device and operating system and with media at a price for which people would be happy to pay without a moment's thought – that Microsoft Windows Media, Apple FairPlay and competing technologies should be made to work together – just as Mark James proposes in his call for open standards in digital rights management. Instead, the BBC (following the path set by a rival broadcaster, Channel 4) have provided a service which will only work on a subset of Windows PCs.
I recently saw a trailer for a BBC series called Mountain which was advertised as "coming soon" but I missed the first couple of episodes. Realising this, I thought that this would be an opportunity to try out the iPlayer service but if I'm going to give up the comfort of my living room to watch TV on the computer, I want to do it with my computer that's hooked up to a decent display – that will be the Mac then. Not with iPlayer – it's Windows only (so much for the accessibility which BBC services should maintain). Not to worry, I have a decent Windows PC too… oops, that runs Vista… iPlayer only works with Windows XP, Windows Media Player 10 and Internet Explorer 6 (or later) with JavaScript, ActiveX and cookies enabled. Now, looking at the statistics for this site, Windows XP users only account for about 60% of my visitors (even if they prefer to use another browser, they will have IE6 installed). Sure, my readers are highly technical (and hence more likely to try something other than the norm) but so will those who are interested in watching TV across the Internet – at least in 2007 (I expect things to change over the next couple of years) – so the BBC has instantly excluded 40% of it's potential audience (even more if their IP addresses don't appear to be served from the UK). Furthermore, for a service that was supposed to have launched a fortnight ago, it's still carrying a beta label and signup is a painfully slow process. In fact a BBC representative wrote on an iPlayer support forum:
"We have chosen initially not to market or publish widely the availability of the service as we wanted to see what the initial demand would be – and interest so far has been extremely strong."
Hmm… I read a press release announcing that the service would be launched on 27th July 2007 (which was subsequently picked up by many newspapers and websites) – I think that is both marketing and publishing the availability of the service. So what's all this beta nonsense about then? It seems that the BBC's Press Office is not talking to the BBC's iPlayer people…
Once I set up a Windows XP PC and got my login details for the iPlayer service (after a wait of several hours… suggesting a level of manual intervention in the process), I found that they didn't do much for me. The BBC's own advice is to save the iPlayer login on the computer (if I've saved my login details in a cookie, what's the point in having a login?) and then before I could download any content I had to register for a separate bbc.co.uk account (which seems to require more personal details than I would like to give away). At least that was an immediate process (even if the first few usernames I tried were taken) and I was finally able to download my programme.
Download speeds were good (in the region of 2Mbps), although the reference to the number of sources from which I was downloading alerted me to that fact that this is a peer-to-peer service (the BBC uses VeriSign's Kontiki delivery management system) – in which case am I giving up some of my bandwidth for the BBC to distribute its content to others? (Oh the irony of a DRM-protected service using P2P for distribution!) More to the point, what effect will that have on my bandwidth usage if I'm limited by my ISP, or if they implement network controls to limit access to the service?
The BBC website had given me the impression (obviously misguided) that programmes would be available for download up to 7 days after broadcast and then to view for a further 30 days. Apparently that's not so, as the 30 day clock seems to start ticking at broadcast time (not download time), so my programme actually had 23 days left for me to watch it. Furthermore, it seems that once I start to watch a programme I only have 7 days to watch it before it expires. Those timescales seem pretty tight (there are no such limits with other time shifting technologies, whether I use a simple video cassette recorder or something more complex) and it's this inflexibility that makes me so critical of DRM.
The content itself is pretty good quality – at least the episode of Click that I used to test the service (not to be confused with the streamed version available from the BBC website) looked fine in full screen mode on a standard 1024×768 laptop display although, somewhat annoyingly, a BBC News 24 ticker was visible on the bottom of the screen throughout the programme (that shouldn't be a problem for most programmes). Also, despite advertising itself as a 30-minute programme, this particular episode turned out to be the short (just under 12 minute) version. Actually, once you find a PC that meets the iPlayer specifications, the service is pretty good. I just think that the BBC should cast it's net a little further and include Macintosh and Linux users in its online audience.

The BBC's iPlayer system is a fine example of what happens when you let people with no technical ability make decisions that affect those of us more knowledgeable, or more vested in the technology.
I haven't tried the iPlayer and I won't. I'm not interested in limiting my choices with DRM and 30 days is still their schedule, not mine. How dare they? I've already paid for the production of the shows, through the ever-increasing TV Licence fee, I can video the broadcasts if I like, but I can't keep a download on my hard drive for more than 30 days because it'll eat into the profits from sales of DVDs and videos.
Now, I'll admit that I'd rather watch the BBC programming than the increasing tabloid scare-mongering of Sky and ITV, but it isn't so good that I should have to pay for it twice.
Once again, the irony is that these over-exuberant lockdown tactics are what drives usually honest consumers down the DRM-free but illegal P2P route.
Hopefully the BBC will eventually learn the lesson that even record companies are getting: DRM doesn't work. Consumers don't want it and will go elsewhere. DRM can be broken, circumnavigated or ignored. There's no DRM in the shows available as torrents.
As Licence Fee payers, most people are going to assume it's more-or-less legal to download content they've already paid for using these services. I think it should be.
You're 100% correct that the BBC have got it wrong by wrapping iPlayer around a DRM system.
Closed DRM systems (of whatever flavour) are anti-consumer. I'd prefer content providers to drop DRM altogether but feel that sticking my head in the sand and ignoring services like iPlayer probably won't work either (don't think for one moment that I didn't at least look for the Mountain series on a torrent site before going through the hassle of setting up iPlayer).
If we have to suffer DRM (I personally don't believe that it is necessary) then it should be an open system that works regardless of media player, operating system and device but I'm also heartened that Universal Music are now trialling the sale of DRM-free versions of their music – although not via the iTunes store (who cares, if it's DRM free then I can transfer it to the player of my choice!). I truly hope that Universal's experiment works and that all the major content providers follow suit.
Maybe then the iPlayer service will be exposed as the costly waste of licence-payer's money that it is – especially once major ISPs (e.g. BT, TalkTalk, and Tiscali) limit user access in order to avoid the additional load on their networks caused by the P2P distribution system (and that will just be the thin edge of the wedge – we can kiss goodbye to net neutrality once that happens). In the meantime, once you get it working, iPlayer seems to work ok… it's just a nuisance to even get that far.

I am from Ireland but have lived in Cardiff since 1960.
I regularly watch/ listen to TV/radio programmes in my native English as well as in my hard-learned Irish Gaelic and Welsh. I have also recently begun to watch Scottish Gaelic stuff on BBC Alba.
After a prolonged period of gestation that puzzling body gave birth to its lacklustre iPlayer and offered it to us with all the cold charity of Ebenezer Scrooge on a bad day. Not only do many fine programmes not even get to iPlayer but those that do tend to be available for just about a week – and only in the UK, of course.
If one chooses to use the iPlayer 'download' the file dies in 30 days if left unplayed and within 7 days of first play! A Hobson's choice if ever there was one.
My sorrow is that whereas I can both watch and record (to RealPlayer) stuff in English and/or Irish Gaelic on RTE (http://www.rte.ie/radio/audio.html) for up to a year after broadcast and in Welsh on S4C (http://www.s4c.co.uk/clic/e_index.shtml) for up to 35 days after broadcast no such quarter is given by the BBC.
Last Satueday I came by happy accident on the last programme in a remarkable series (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00fnpp2) that began in mid November. 'Ã'ran Na Mnà ' ('The Song of the Woman') looked at the history of women in terms of their poems and their songs. The last programme is the only one still accessible on iPlayer. Completely entranced I have watched and listened threed or four times every day, knowing that in just three more days it will be out of all sight and hearing for good.
On RTE the entire series would stiil be accessible; on S4C all but the first two would be available.
Just why did the BBC – a broadcaster of some of the best stuff around – decide to invent its own squeaky and inefficient wheel? Even the Flintstones would have done better!
Patrick – I'm 100% in agreement with you – even the new iPlayer Desktop beta is limited by the same availability and content restrictions – and the BBC blames it on the restrictions imposed by content producers (in which case, why don't RTE and S4C have the same issues?).
The playback limits can be overcome by removing the DRM but as far as I know there is nothing we can do about the inability to download anything older than 7 days (I've missed many BBC podcasts this way when iTunes has stopped downloading them for me because it's decided I haven't listened to the last few when I'm really just a bit behind on my listening!)


The Annagrey Band is fronted by Annagrey LaBasse. In the world of professional studio singers and musicians, she is known by all as the top studio vocalist in the country. Annagrey is sought after by practically every "A" list band in the North Texas area to be lead singer.
In January 2010 Annagrey assembled the best musicians from various bands to form The Annagrey Band. Carol Marks Music showcased her group for the Society of Talent and Entertainment Professions and the agents and the musicians assembled there all agreed on one thing... this group is GREAT! Because of the vast experience of each of her musicians, the band's song list is extensive. It includes every genre of music... Big Band Jazz, Classic Rock, Motown, Disco and 70�s, 80�s Rock, Current Top 40 and Country. The Annagrey Band brings in both strong male and female vocals so the versatility is part of their performance.
Annagrey has made a living for many with an extraordinary gift - her voice. Most of this time was spend in the background as a session singer... you heard her everywhere but as a voice on jingles, station id's, back-up singing for many stars including LeAnn Rimes. She was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show, has toured with LeAnn Rimes and has performed with top bands in North Texas. Today she is one of the first call session vocalist in the country.

Don't Tell Me I Didn't Do My Civic Duty
By Kelly Keller, October 24, 2008
Welcome to Charlotte, where the lines to vote early are two hours long at least…and they're outside.
I went around 9:30, hoping to be near the front of the line when the polls opened at 11. Yes, 11! I brought a blanket for the kids to sit on, books to read, and figured that today's school would be civics 101. It turned out to be civics (examining the sample ballot, talking about the two-party system, meeting a local candidate for judge), geography (reading the Tree in the Trail), math (counting the bricks on the outside of the library — yes, I was getting desperate), and literature (reading The House at Pooh Corner and Understood Betsy). I didn't enter the room where the voting happened until 11:35.
We were also filmed, reportedly for Belgian TV. Anybody out there live in Belgium?
Upsides of our day: the rain held off until we were under cover, the baby slept in her stroller almost the entire time, the kids were total peaches, most of the pollworkers were understanding, the baby waited until after I was done voting to fill her diaper, nobody had to go to the bathroom while we were in line, people around us in line were understanding and very kind
Downsides of our day: it was chilly and cloudy, I didn't bring snacks, a few pollworkers were too married to their job of directing traffic in the room with the voting machines to notice that I needed to go against traffic to fetch my children from their waiting place (I was quick to disobey with a gracious smile and an explanation.)
There was a funny moment after I was done voting when I had finally cleared all the hurdles and got the kids up from the chairs where they had been sitting while I voted. Ben said as he remained seated, "Sorry, Mom, I just need to tie my shoe." I said, "It's alright, honey, just a little more waiting for me," and the entire lobby full of people (who were also waiting!) burst out laughing. I guess we went early enough that everyone still had their senses of humor.
And to celebrate the children's behavior in line…we got McDonald's for lunch, and Mom actually ordered HAPPY MEALS instead of off the dollar menu. The toys inside were Hot Wheels, be still my heart.
Hurrah for Good Fiction!

Wow, thanks, R. I'm honored.I should clarify that my statement in the first paragraph is not exactly accurate. My wait once the polls opened was only about 35 minutes. But I had to get there an hour and a half early to get that spot in line. By the time the polls were open, the line wound down the building and halfway around the parking lot.

We voted yesterday after we finished at Mother Theresa's Treasures. didn't have to wait outside but it was good to do our "civic duty." Maddy wears the sticker better than Grandpa and me.

Isi/Disi: alto voltaje es una película española cómica de 2006 dirigida por Miguel Ángel Lamata y protagonizada por Santiago Segura y Florentino Fernández. Es una secuela del filme Isi/Disi. Amor a lo bestia (2004).

Sinopsis
En el entierro de su padre Eugenio, Isi, acompañado de Disi, decide despedir a su progenitor con salvas de cañón, como los AC/DC, y lo hace a lo grande cargando el cañón con munición real. En su hazaña destruyen un valioso mausoleo y la multa que deben pagar por ello es tan alta que el juez amenaza con embargar el local que su padre le dejó en herencia. La única solución para salvarse es demostrar que su grupo de rock, Rata Muerta, es el mejor en un espectáculo presentado por Angie, una roquera y el amor platónico de Disi. Berdún, el novio de Angie y magnate discográfico sin escrúpulos, decide hacer la vida imposible a los dos amigos, saboteando su repentina fama.

Producción
Cuando se lo propusieron al director, Lamata pensó en realizar una historia que gustara a los mismos de la anterior película, pero sin ofrecer exactamente lo mismo que la anterior. Si en la primera se trata de un amor no correspondido, aquí se tratan los antagonismos y los enfrentamientos y la importancia de ser fiel. También se han realizado cambios en los personajes, Disi ahora trabaja como actor porno e Isi se ha vuelto resabiado y manipulador.

Diamond, 23, first shared the news of her pregnancy in September. "Just when you think you know love, something little comes along to remind you just how big it really is.♥," she captioned a stunning maternity shoot in Hawaii via Instagram.
The Instagram model has yet to publicly reveal the identity of her baby's father, but fans have speculated it belongs to Breezy, leaving excessive comments on her social media posts saying so. The brunette beauty was first linked to Chris in 2019. She lives in Los Angeles and boasts over 23,000 followers on Instagram.

Nia is a model, aspiring nurse, and the mother of Chris' first child, Royalty Brown. The now-7-year-old was born on May 27, 2014 and is their only child together. Nia and the "Go Crazy" artist were pals for years before she got pregnant. Unfortunately, their friendship fell apart when child support and custody issues surfaced.
The 38-year-old previously spilled to Latina.com her hesitations about Chris' parenting abilities were due to his controversial past. "I know that he's young, he's wild, and he has the bad boy persona, and I just knew that it just wasn't going to be the best situation," she told the outlet. "And if I could have still kept it quiet until now, I would have."

I saw the trailer and could hardly recognize Christian Bale. Dicky seems like the perfect role for him, as does Micky for Wahlberg.
Wow, you're not kidding! This movie was excellent. I appreciated its gritty, realistic portrayal of Lowell and the people who inhabit the sleepy little town, especially Micky and his family. As excellent as Wahlberg and Bale's performances were, the spotlight belongs to Leo and Adams who bring such emotional gusto to their roles that I was absolutely captivated. Awesome film.

Most Common 15 Metal Detectors
Patrick Severts is an archaeologist, metal detecting expert and co-founder of the Advanced Metal Detection school for the Archaeologist and with Kirk Cordell National Park Service deputy director at Pecos National Historical Park. Metal exploration instructor and archaeologist Charles Haecker (front) teaches Metal Detection to his students and Archaeologists.
'' Use of metal detectors and history, has appeared several professional archaeologists metal exploration experience in archeology generally not accepted since it started in the best way they receive training in how to maximize their interests. In addition, many professionals are not aware of the developments in metal detector technology, and unfortunately most are using outdated models. Staff training and the suitability of metal detection devices are the twin elements of a successful research efforts that use metal detectors. Most of the current archaeologists, metal detectors "devil's tool" at a time when education was seen as acceptable and that the archaeologists to benefit from formal education. Advanced Metal Detection for archaeologists from the website can recognize these formations in their own words. AM, archaeologists will provide an opportunity for information technology and practical skills liable to present updates and expansions'. Another institution 'Advanced Metal Detection for archaeologists' school is still archaeologist and metal detector is an organization providing education users. The key question is "Should I use metal detectors?" "How can I best use the metal detector?" Several university programs and field school, undergraduate and graduate students have begun to incorporate metal detection training, although detailed information to teach this subject, expertise and experience has remained only a limited number of professional archaeologists.
These areas include Moore's Creek battlefield, King's Mountain National Military Park, Chickamauga, and Chattanooga National Military Park. We think that it will be useful to increase the examples of some projects, institutions and government policies on a global scale to understand the importance and seriousness of the situation. archaeological research has been carried out. The purpose of such projects is to help us understand history through the sequence of events and how the soldiers acted, thanks to the artifacts found. The Southeast Archeology Center is the support center for the National Park Service's Southeast Region. These examples show us that when technology works together with academic disciplines, missing pieces can be completed quickly. For example, as of 2018, the Southeast Archeological Center - The Southeast Archeological Center "SEAC" - has volunteered users of metal detectors in five American Civil War parks, three Revolutionary War sites, the Red Stick (Indian) battlefield, and the War of 1812 area.
When you want to give the detector to the aircraft, some documents are requested from you due to the battery in it. You can request these documents by contacting the company from which you purchased the detector. Then you can take the detector by plane. There is no restriction that you can take the detector in the car or on the plane.
For example, as of 2018, the Southeast Archeological Center - The Southeast Archeological Center "SEAC" - has volunteered users of metal de...

21 Things I Didn't Know About The Apple Watch Until I Started Wearing One
Initial ruminations on a tiny device that's bursting at the seams with new ideas, features, and approaches.
[Photo: courtesy of Apple]
By Harry McCracken long Read
Today is launch day for the Apple Watch. In some ways, that's more of a ceremonial rite than a statement of practical reality. With Apple's online-only ordering, you can't just barge into an Apple Store and plunk down your money, though you apparently might be able to find one at a handful of boutique shops. Many of the folks who pre-ordered won't get their timepieces until May or June.
Still, some lucky people are receiving their pre-ordered watches today. And I've already had a little bit of wrist time with the Apple Watch myself. To be specific, I've been trying a 42mm stainless-steel model with a fancy chain-link "Milanese loop" band that Apple loaned to me. (I also got a rubbery green sport band that is a cinch to swap in, thanks to Apple's push-button band-release system.)
I should underline the "little bit of time" part of that previous paragraph: It's been less than 48 hours. That's way too little time to form a final verdict on a major tech product–especially one as new and ambitious as this one. The New York Times' Farhad Manjoo said it took him "three long, often confusing and frustrating days" before he figured out the watch and became smitten with it; by that timetable, I'm less than halfway in.
Consider what follows to be a status report rather than a review. But I've learned quite a bit already that I didn't get from attending both of Apple's media events and getting brief hands-on demos at them.
The Apple Watch model I tried: stainless-steel case and Milanese loop bandPhoto: courtesy of Apple
1. The hardware's fit, finish, and general cleverness is exemplary.
At first, I was skeptical about Apple's launch strategy for the watch, which involved offering dozens of variations, at every price point from $349 to you-can't-buy-one–all of which do exactly the same thing. It certainly didn't seem like a move in the Apple tradition of launching a solitary computer or phone or tablet that gave the world precisely what Apple thought it needed.
The sport band's end tucks neatly into a slot.
Having spent more than a day with the 42mm steel Apple Watch, plus some additional hands-on time with other models and a variety of straps, I get it. As a piece of fashion-minded hardware, everything about the watch already seems to be in place. (Okay, one exception; It's chunkier than you'd want it to be if the electronics and battery inside didn't matter.) Even tiny little details such as the way the bands fasten to the watch and secure themselves on your wrist show style and ingenuity. The range of case materials, colors, and band styles makes the watch customizable in a way that few pieces of personal technology have ever been.
The near-infinite variety of Apple Watch options feels like a warning shot against the bow of the entire industry. You can imagine other technology companies, from Google to Pebble, coming up with smartwatch software that rivals what Apple is doing. And maybe some experienced manufacturer of timepieces will produce smartphone hardware that rivals Apple's for design panache. But it's tough to imagine any one company doing both, and doing it in so many versions.
2. The size is right.
Even though Apple isn't declaring that any specific Apple Watch model is aimed at men or at women, it seems likely that many gents will opt for the 42mm size I tried, and many ladies will prefer the daintier 38mm variant.
From left, the rather petite Withings Activite Pop, the Pebble Steel, and the 42mm Apple Watch
Even the larger 42mm is not, by smartwatch standards, a biiiiig watch–at least in comparison to monsters such as Samsung's Gear S. At 42mm by 35.9mm by 10.5mm, it's a smidge larger than the Pebble Steel, and doesn't look ridiculous on my wrist.
In a canny move I didn't really appreciate until now, Apple made the bezel of the watch black and gave the software an interface that's mostly white and bright colors on a black background. That makes the line between screen and bezel nearly seamless, which allows Apple to get away with very little display border. End result: It feels like a surprisingly large screen given the size of the watch.
3. The screen is delightful.
A very small, very high-resolution display presents opportunities for app developers that smartphones and tablets do not. Every pixel matters, and nobody's going to try to build a watch app with gazillions of features, opening up the possibility to focus on artistry as much as functionality.
In some ways, the most impressive app I've seen so far is the Mickey Mouse watch face: Mickey looks like he was drawn with pen and ink, and I haven't yet tired of studying the changes in his pose as he genially keeps time.
4. Watch faces are unexpectedly customizable.
Apple isn't exactly a company that typically goes out of its way to let its customers tweak its products' interfaces. But most of the 10 watch faces that the Apple Watch offers let you play with colors, design elements, and the items that watch nuts calls "complications"–basically, any information beyond the time of day. (Apple Watch complications include the date, your next calendar appointment, a summary of your fitness, and other items.) It's slick and fun, and I really hope that Apple allows third-party developers to create complications that plug into its watch faces.
5. Apple Pay is A-OK.
I've been using Apple Pay on my iPhone nearly every day since it launched in October When it works as advertised–almost always, in my experience–it's faster than cards or cash. It's even simpler on the watch. You don't need to pull anything out of your pocket, and the required gesture–pressing the side button twice to put the watch into Apple Pay mode, then holding it to the payment terminal–is easier to pull off without thinking about it than using the iPhone's Touch ID sensor. You can even trigger Apple Pay mode while you're waiting in line to check out.
6. This watch has trouble waking up.
Like every other smartwatch with a vibrant, illuminated color screen–Apple used OLED technology–the Apple Watch must obsess over power usage to get you through the day on a single charge. It therefore keeps its screen off when you're not using it. When its sensors notice you've turned it up toward your eyes in an orientation that suggests you're ready to do something, the display turns on.
Except in my experience, it sometimes didn't. Flicking my wrist exuberantly sometimes did the trick. In other instances, I couldn't get it to shake out of its slumber except by pressing the digital crown or touching the screen. Then again, maybe I move my wrist funny: Over at Mashable, my friend Lance Ulanoff reports that this feature worked "flawlessly" for him.
Even when the watch does wake up on its own, there's always been a half-beat during which I'm looking at the screen but it hasn't yet turned on. It's as if the software wants to make absolutely sure I'm trying to use the watch before doing anything. I'm hoping Apple can make it more responsive through future operating-system updates.
7. The Apple Watch is fast, except when it's slow.
Much of the experience is as fluid and responsive as the iPhone and iPad at their best–like when I sweep your fingertip around on the screen full of app icons or rotate the digital crown to zoom in on a photo. But there are also moments when I sit and stare at the watch waiting for something to happen. Especially when it's doing something involving using my phone as a middleman to snag information from the Net, such as identifying my location and rendering it in Maps. Given that this is a device designed to be used in snippets of a few seconds, any delay seems all that much longer.
8. It also seems to be buggy.
I have found the Apple Watch to be quirky in the way that first-generation products running wildly ambitious software almost always are. At one point, I was parked outside a McDonald's and the watch correctly plotted my location on a map…and yet Siri still alternated between telling me that there were no nearby McDonald's and that it couldn't tell where I was. Another time, the watch seized up until I did a hard reset. Judging from Apple history, I would expect this situation to improve markedly after an operating-system update or two in the coming months.
General Observations….
9. Once you master force touch, it's nifty.
I should have come to the Apple Watch with a thorough understanding of Apple's force touch technology–after all, it's also incorporated into the new MacBook that I reviewed. I found that I had to relearn it, though. Despite knowing that the idea is that you press the screen a bit more forcefully than usual to accomplish something–such as being able to choose and customize watch faces–I tended to do a long press rather than a hard one. The Apple Watch sometimes interpreted that as a force touch, but not always.
It's important to get the knack of doing a force touch, because–like a right-click of a PC's mouse–the maneuver sometimes reveals important functions you might not otherwise discover. In the Maps app, for instance, you force touch to get to the search feature.
10. The taptic engine is subtle, very subtle.
Instead of vibrating furiously like other smartwatches, the Apple Watch uses Apple's "taptic" technology to do something that feels like a genteel nudge. It's far classier and less distracting, but especially at first, I found that I didn't always notice it. Apple seems to acknowledge this possibility with an option called "Prominent Haptic" that might as well have been labeled "Furious Vibration."
11. The most important single maneuver isn't completely obvious.
The iPhone and iPad don't have hard-wired back buttons. The Apple Watch does: Pressing the digital crown always takes you back one step. Whenever I felt a little lost in the interface–which, especially during the first few hours, was often–pressing the crown got me back on track.
12. You only want to touch the screen a little.
On the iPhone and iPad, the touch screen is the primary means of input, and the physical home button is secondary. That led me, instinctively, to want to swipe around the Apple Watch screen a lot. Which you can do if you want. But really, the majority of the watch's functionality can be triggered with the digital crown and side button. They work wonderfully well, and it's easier to see what you're doing on a tiny screen when your fingers aren't in the way.
13. This is a two-handed device.
Maybe this should have been obvious all along, but it didn't dawn on me until I was out and about with an Apple Watch on my wrist. If you're standing on the subway holding a briefcase or backpack–a scenario I find myself in regularly–using the Apple Watch to do anything beyond glancing at the time and incoming notifications is going to be tricky. Other than that, though, it should be especially useful as a walking-around computing device–that's when I find other smartwatches most valuable.
14. It turns out that it's good the screen doesn't come on for notifications.
When you get a notification on the Apple Watch, it alerts you with a taptic tap, but doesn't automatically turn on the screen. At first, I found that odd. Then I realized that it's actually a really smart approach: Instead of feeling obligated to check every single incoming notification the moment it arrived, I could comfortably wait until I was ready to peruse them. (It also let me wear the watch to a movie without feeling like I had a tiny spotlight on my wrist.)
15. Setting up an Apple Watch is about subtraction.
When you set up a new device–especially in a still-nascent category such as smartwatches– you generally begin by adding stuff to it, such as apps. The Apple Watch is different. Because it's so tightly tied to your iPhone, it automatically mirrors much of what you've set up there, including installed apps and notification preferences. Which is why, between Apple's own watch apps and my iPhone apps with watch versions, my Apple Watch had more than 40 apps on it before I proactively took measures to install anything.
That's a lot of apps.
The more detritus that's on your Apple Watch, the harder it is to find the items you do want–especially since neither apps nor glances are labeled. I found that the more I winnowed down what was on the watch, the more I liked it.
16. There are two kinds of places you use an Apple Watch: noisy ones, and quiet ones.
Some stuff you do on the Apple Watch, you can do without touching it–such as calling on Siri, dictating into some apps, and making and receiving phone calls. When I was surrounded by silence, or something close to it, these features worked reasonably well. But background noise–be it my car's engine or people in my coworking space chattering nearby–sometimes made using these features either impossible or impractical. Siri tended not to respond to my "Hey, Siri!" command in noisy environments, for instance, and the maximum volume for phone calls wasn't enough to overcome the roar of the crowd.
17. Your opinion of what an app should do may differ from that of its developers.
Watching third-party developers figure out how to make their apps compelling in Apple Watch form is going to be a blast. There's no guarantee, however, that their approach to shrinking down their functionality is going to be the same one you'd choose.
The Twitter app, for instance, lets you view your timeline and trending tweets, but doesn't seem to include any way to view a list of replies to your tweets. Maybe Twitter thinks that offering iOS notifications takes care of that. I'd prefer to leave Twitter notifications off and peruse feedback on my tweets at my leisure. (Twitterific's Apple Watch app comes far closer to my way of thinking.)
Another example: The Instapaper app is essentially a remote control that you can use to make your iPhone read articles out loud in a robotic text-to-speech voice. I have no interest in doing that. But I'd love to be able to skim articles I've saved right on the watch's screen.
18. Third-party bands are going to be a big deal.
The watch's easy-on, easy-off band-attaching system–you push a little button on the back of the watch, then slide the band on or off–makes the idea of dressing this timepiece up with a variety straps or bracelets for different occasions irresistible. Apple is encouraging that idea by selling bands separately. But with the exception of its $50 sport bands, all of the ones it's offering are $150 or more. Nice though they are, collecting them would be a rich person's hobby.
With conventional watches, it's possible to buy attractive leather bands for as little as 15 or 20 bucks. I'm hoping that some of the companies in that business, such as Hadley Roma, are drawing up plans to offer Apple Watch bands even as we speak.
19. The Apple Watch is (almost) perfect for lefties.
As a long-suffering southpaw, one of the happiest moments of the first Apple Watch event back in September was when I learned that Apple had given the watch a mode designed for left-handed people–one that let you wear it on your right hand with the digital crown and side button rotated around to the left-hand edge of the case for easy access.
Having worn the Apple Watch that way, I'm happy to report that it mostly works fine, and that it doesn't matter that the side button is up top and the digital crown is below. There is one minor exception, though: When I pressed the side button twice, it didn't always put the watch into Apple Pay. Eventually, I figured out that I was angling my thumb in from above to avoid brushing the digital crown–and that when I did so, the watch had trouble registering my double-press. When I taught myself to reach in from below, it worked every time.
20. Apple Watch etiquette remains an unresolved issue.
Glancing repeatedly at your watch in the presence of others has never been considered a particularly endearing trait. (Just ask George H.W. Bush.) If the Apple Watch is a blockbuster, will that change? Maybe: As past gadgets such as cell phones became pervasive, our sense of good and bad manners adjusted to accommodate them. But all I know for sure right now is that I went out for ramen with my wife last night and didn't feel comfortable being too fixated on my Apple Watch–even though she's a Pebble Steel owner and would presumably have understood.
21. Waiting is going to have its advantages.
As my colleague Ross Rubin has written, there's no one obvious reason why someone would want the Apple Watch–or at least not one which Apple has articulated. Instead, it feels like Apple, third-party developers, and consumers are going to figure out where this device goes as a team. That makes it distinctly different from the original versions of the iPhone and iPad, both of which exuded clarity of vision from day one.
I'm sure that the people whose Apple Watches are arriving even as we speak are going to have fun with them. But within the next few months, Apple is going to swat the biggest bugs, and the third-party app situation should improve dramatically. (Most of the apps launching alongside the watch were written by developers who didn't actually have the watch.) Which means that the Apple Watch is only going to get better–and the longer you wait, the more fully baked it's going to get.

Manhattan Beach [electronic resource] : a novel / Jennifer Egan.
Egan, Jennifer, (author.). OverDrive, Inc., (distributor.).
"The long-awaited, daring, and magnificent novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad. Manhattan Beach opens in Brooklyn during the Great Depression. Anna Kerrigan, nearly twelve years old, accompanies her father to the house of Dexter Styles, a man who, she gleans, is crucial to the survival of her father and her family. Years later, her father has disappeared and the country is at war. Anna works at the Brooklyn Naval Yard, where women are allowed to hold jobs that had always belonged to men. She becomes the first female diver, the most dangerous and exclusive of occupations, repairing the ships that will help America win the war. She is the sole provider for her mother, a farm girl who had a brief and glamorous career with the Ziegfeld Follies, and her lovely, severely disabled sister. At a nightclub, she chances to meet Dexter Styles again, and she begins to understand the complexity of her father's life, the reasons he might have vanished. Mesmerizing, hauntingly beautiful, with the pace and atmosphere of a noir thriller, Egan's first historical novel is a masterpiece, a deft, startling, intimate exploration of a transformative moment in the lives of women and men, America and the world. Manhattan Beach is a spectacular novel by one of the greatest writers of our time"-- Provided by publisher.

Encounters with Violence in Latin America: Urban Poor Perceptions from Colombia and Guatemala
Cathy McIlwaine, Caroline Moser
ISBN 9780415258654 - CAT# RU22977
ISBN 9780203646359 - CAT# RUE3054
August 2, 2004 by Routledge
Latin America is both the world's most urbanized fastest developing regions, where the links between social exclusion, inequality and violence are clearly visible. The banal, ubiquitous nature of drug crime, robbery, gang and intra-family violence destabilizes countries' economies and harms their people and social structures.
Encounters with Violence & Crime in Latin America explores the meaning of violence and insecurity in nine towns and cities in Columbia and Guatemala to create a framework of how and why daily violence takes place at the community level. It uses pioneering new methods of participatory urban appraisal to ask local people about their own perceptions of violence as mediated by family, gender, ethnicity and age. It develops a typology which distinguishes between the political, social, and economic violence that afflicts communities, and which assesses the costs of consequences of violence in terms of community cohesion and social capital. This gives voice to those whose daily lives and dominated by widespread aggression, and provides important new insights for researchers and policy-makers.

New Delhi: Number of marshals in buses to rise to 13k today
PTI | 28 Oct 2019 4:57 PM GMT
Asserting his government's commitment to boost women security in the national capital, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said the number of marshals deployed for Delhi buses will rise to nearly 13,000 on October 29.
New Delhi (PTI): Asserting his government's commitment to boost women security in the national capital, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said the number of marshals deployed for Delhi buses will rise to nearly 13,000 on October 29.
The announcement by Kejriwal at an event here, comes a day ahead of the roll out of the AAP government's scheme to make travel free of cost for women in Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses. "Today, I am entrusting you all with a responsibility to ensure safety of women in each government bus and generate confidence in them so that they feel the comfort of a home in our buses," he told a gathering of newly-recruited bus marshals at the Tyagraj Stadium here. Kejriwal said the current strength of bus marshals in Delhi is 3,400.
"Tomorrow is an auspicious day of Bhai Dooj, and tomorrow the number of marshals for our buses will increase to nearly 13,000," he said to a thunderous applause. "We are committed to boost security of women in Delhi. And, I don't think the level at which we have scaled up the strength of bus marshals, it has been done in any city in the world," the chief minister said. The announcement comes months ahead of the Delhi assembly elections. "Delhi is like one big family. And, I am the elder son of this family. And, being the elder son, from tomorrow I am bearing the cost of commuting in DTC buses, of our sisters, mothers and daughters," Kejriwal said.
