In the beginning there was HomePlug 1.0 — a technology for transmitting data across household electrical wiring — and it was good. Then again, with a maximum speed of only 14 MB per second with only about half of that delivered in real-world performance, it was good mainly for basic chores such as Web browsing and e-mail.
But for tasks such as transferring large files or streaming high-quality video it wasn't nearly good enough, so along came a new generation of HomePlug 1.0 Turbo products that boasted speeds of up to 85 MB/sec. These products held much promise, but instead of the implied six-fold improvement, the performance increase over earlier devices turned out to be far more modest. In most cases, this turned out to be about between 10 and 15 MB per second, still not up to the most demanding tasks.
In what is perhaps an admission of how lackluster the HomePlug 1.0 Turbo products performance could be (as is the case with other similar offerings, for that matter), Netgear is taking another stab at the problem with a new powerline product called the HDX101. The HDX101 ups the ante by claiming a theoretical maximum bandwidth of 200 MB/sec, with real-world throughput of around of 80 MB per second. The "HD" in the product name is no accident — Netgear purports the HDX101's level of performance permits the streaming of high-definition video.
At first glance, the HDX101 looks almost identical to the older Netgear XE104 (both are wall wart-style devices), but much has changed both inside and out. The HDX101 has but a single Ethernet port (compared to four on the XE104), so it can accommodate only one directly attached device (either a LAN switch or a single client device). Also new are the HXD101's innards, which contain a chipset from Design of Systems on Silicon (DS2) rather than from Intellon, the firm that made the chipset in all previous HomePlug products.
You can configure the HDX101 via the utility to give priority to either TCP or UDP traffic on congested networks (UDP traffic, used in streaming media, is prioritized by default) or to prioritize traffic on custom network ports that you specify. You can also use the utility to check the general connection quality of your powerline network — each HDX101 device reports figures for both transmit and receive signal strength, and in our case it reported one device as having an optimal connection (200 MB/sec transmit/200 receive) while the other wasn't quite as good (131 transmit/142 receive).
Since the utility works only with Windows 2000/XP, at least one system on your network must be running either OS if you want to change any of the HDX101's default security or performance settings.
To see whether the HDX101 could indeed perform faster than a HomePlug 1.0 Turbo device, we chose a pair of outlets and conducted a series of tests comparing it to the XE104. We plugged one HDX101 directly into a Netgear WPN824 router, another into a PC running Windows XP, ran each test several times, and then repeated the tests after swapping the HDX101s for XE104s. We didn't plug any of the powerline adapters into UPS devices, power strips, or extension cords since they can severely degrade the signal or even prevent a connection entirely.
We started with a large file transfer between a Maxtor NAS hard drive and a Windows XP client system. Transferring the 1.2 GB file took 13:47 (minutes:seconds) with the HDX101. That was faster than the XE104's transfer time of 18:36, but not by a huge margin. Since many prospective customers will likely be interested in the HDX101 for use with a DVR like a TiVo, we also timed the transfer of a 30-minute recorded program from a TiVo Series 2 to TiVo Desktop software running on a PC. Transferring the 1.5 GB file with the HDX101 took a whopping 79 minutes, and only slightly longer on the XE104 (87 minutes). Of course, most TiVo units transfer data via a USB port (we used a wired USB-to-Ethernet adapter), which seems to be a bottleneck that prevents swift data transfers. Dual-tuner TiVo units have Ethernet ports which should provide better performance no matter what network medium (802.11, Ethernet, powerline) you use.
We next tried to stream a HD-quality video clip (1:43 in length with a resolution of 1440 x 1080 pixels and a bit rate of almost 8.5 MB/sec) from the NAS device. Alas, the HDX101 couldn't successfully stream the file — although the audio track was pristine, the video was extremely choppy. Streaming the video on the XE104 was even worse though, as the visuals were reduced to a series of still frames and most of the audio was dropped.
We tried streaming the same content again but this time using a clip with a lower resolution and bit rate (1280 x 720 and 6.5 MB/sec) and it streamed without any problems on both the HDX101 and the XE104. We then tried streaming the same two clips from a Media Center PC to an Xbox 360 game console, and in this case, both the lower- and higher-resolution HD clips streamed properly on the HDX101.
Finally, we ran several tests using the network performance utility iPerf. With the HDX101, it reported an average of 18.5 MB/sec compared to 13.1 with the XE104. That's certainly an improvement, but hardly an overwhelming one. When we configured iPerf to use a larger 128 K TCP window size (the amount of data a system can receive over the network before sending an acknowledgment) than the Windows default of 8K, the HDX101 turned in a much higher score of 48.6, more than triple the XE104's score of 15.7. This suggests that at least for file transfers (which generate TCP traffic, as opposed to streaming which uses UDP) permanently modifying the setting in the Windows Registry might take better advantage of the HDX101, for those willing and able to make the adjustment.
As with any powerline device, the quality of the connection between HDX101 devices can and almost always does vary — sometimes greatly — from outlet to outlet (as well as when a device that pulls a lot of current — like a vacuum, hair dryer, iron or microwave oven — are active on the same electrical circuit). The configuration utility reported vastly different connection quality figures as we moved the HDX101 units around our four-year-old house, most of which were lower than what was reported during our series of tests.
Of course, while the average home contains many electrical circuits and dozens of outlets, the location of the device you want to network may dictate which outlet you can use. Unless you're able to relocate a device, the outlets you need to use may not necessarily be the ones that provide the best performance.
It seems clear that under the right circumstances the HDX101 can offer better performance than previous powerline solutions, but the problem is that realizing the best performance out of it involves more than simply plugging it in and being done with it. In most cases, the outlet it's plugged into, the devices you use and even your Windows network settings can all limit your performance.
The bottom line is that there's really no way to find out how fast the HDX101 will be in a given situation until you buy it and try it yourself, and chances are you'll need to engage in a fair amount of tweaking and trial and error to get maximum performance out of the HDX101. If performance is paramount then the experimentation will likely be worth it. But if you want a powerline network and peformance isn't your primary concern, a HomePlug 1.0 or Turbo device will be an easier and less expensive route to take.

Maarakeh () is a town in Tyre District, in Lebanon.

Geography
The Municipality of Maarakeh is located in the Kaza of Tyre (sour) one of Mohafazah of South Lebanon kazas (districts). Mohafazah of South Lebanon is one of the eight mohafazats (governorates) of Lebanon. It is 90 kilometers (55.9 mi) away from Beyrouth (Beirut) the capital of Lebanon. Its elevation is 270 meters (1) (886 ft - 295 yd) above sea level. Maarakeh surface stretches for 2000 hectares (20 km² - 7.7 mi²)(2).

Name
E. H. Palmer wrote that the name Mảrakeh meant "The battle field".

History
In 1596, it was named as a village, al-Ma'raka, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Tibnin under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 119 households and 3 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, fruit trees, cotton, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 13,350 akçe.

In 1875 Victor Guérin found that it had 700 Metawileh inhabitants. He further noted: "Here are uprights and lintels of door with cut stones, apparently ancient; and in a small mosque, built of regular blocks probably taken from an old church, are several fragments of monolithic columns.'"

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it as: "A village, built of stone, containing about 400 Metawileh, on flat top of high ground, surrounded by gardens, olives, figs, palms, and arable land. There is a spring and five cisterns."

On 28 June 1984 the Israeli army surrounded the town and began house to house searches. 119 men, aged between 13 and 60, were taken away as prisoners for further interrogation. At the time it was estimated that Maarakeh had a population of 13,000.

On 4 March 1985, during the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon, an explosion destroyed a mosque killing local resistance leader, Mohammed Saad. At least 15 people were killed in the explosion.

Trump Administration: Fresh Voices Of Thiel, Conway, And Carson Might Bring Real Change
Carla Miles
A Donald Trump administration is coming, even as post-election rebellious demonstrations continue, but observations indicate Americans who felt the wayward boot of the Washington elites on their throats can expect the man who made lots of money in the private sector to achieve "big league" change now.
Trump's administrative appointments are his own, of course, but voters for and against him have seen the amazing people surrounding and supporting him, and those include an innovative gay man, (Peter Thiel), a calm but passionate black neurosurgeon (Ben Carson), and the politically savvy woman who brought Trump forward and won the battle for the office of the president (Kellyanne Conway).
Peter Thiel, the tech-savvy innovator from America's private sector, has just been tapped to officially join Trump's inner circle. The New York Times used its own Twitter account to announce the possible new work ahead for Thiel.
Peter Thiel was the only prominent Silicon Valley investor to back Trump. Now, he's in a position to reap rewards. https://t.co/OVttYTCtpy
— The New York Times (@nytimes) November 10, 2016
As Thiel was "the only prominent Silicon Valley investor to back Trump," he does seem to have the insight necessary to help Trump achieve his goals for this nation.
As for the astoundingly successful Kellyanne Conway, there was this social media tweet of congratulations.
Congratulations to @KellyannePolls the first female campaign manager to lead a winning Presidential Campaign!!! pic.twitter.com/lUv1fj1cvL
— Hector Morenco (@hectormorenco) November 11, 2016
Trump apparently has made an offer for a position to Conway, according to Bruce Golding's post over at the New York Post, and back in July, there were very strong words of support for her posted on the Trump-Pence website from Trump.
"Kellyanne is a tremendous asset to our rapidly-expanding campaign team. She is a data and messaging expert and terrific on TV. It is great to have her on board."
Of course, the promises are big from the businessman/president-elect. As pointed out from his website, Trump appointments must likely be made to achieve these goals listed in his "100-day action plan."
Trump's appointments must help him to "clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC." Actions Trump aims to take include "a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated," as well as "a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service."
Add to this his other goals to institute "a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government" and "a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections," and perhaps voters can witness the beginning of an end to institutional corruption in their government.
Additionally, a Trump administration appointment to Dr. Ben Carson might be a very good thing as well for America. Dr. Carson might bring a bit of healing to the administration, as previously it was noted in the Conservative Tribune that the neurosurgeon endorsed Trump after making a decision to "bury the hatchet" with their political differences during the primary season.
Dr. Carson was quoted in a Fox Business report mentioned by the Conservative Tribune writer, and he likely moved Trump into the decision to meet with voters hurting in Detroit this year, as mentioned here at the Inquisitr.
"We move on because it's not about me. It's not about Mr. Trump. It's about America. And this is what we have to be thinking about."
As Trump continues to select and surround himself with advisers for his administration, the brash billionaire from the private sector may bring new ideas to truly improve government at the national level in America and bring real innovation and achieve the change voters dream of having to improve their own lives and stagnant job opportunities.
Peggy Noonan, writing for the Wall Street Journal, recently wrote this about the election and warned Trump as he pivots from campaign mode into setting up his administration.
"The previous 16 months were, for the Trump campaign, the victory project. What has to begin now is the reassurance project. The Democratic Party is in shock but will soon recover. Mainstream media, tired and taken aback, will reorient soon. Having targeted Mr. Trump in the campaign, they won't be letting up now."
Noonan also believes that Trump "should make a handful of appointments quickly, briskly, with an initial emphasis on old hands and known quantities."
While Noonan advises Trump to include "accomplished Washington figures," perhaps he should consider job offers to individuals who have shown they are not part of the "group think" that made America stagnant and a place of woe for millions.
In Detroit, per the previous quote from the Inquisitr story mentioned above, Trump got it exactly right many believed when he said this.
"Our nation is too divided. We talk past each other, not to each other, and those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what is going on."
Trump administration appointments, it is hoped, will heal the divisions and accomplish much for ordinary, forgotten citizens who have reached the end of their own ropes and have dangled precariously for years while neither political party ever seemed to improve things, despite their promises.

Q: JavaScript Macro Recorder I am building a web application which I would like to contain a macro recorder, like the one demonstrated here: http://blog.metawrap.com/2007/06/22/javascript-macro-recorder/
The problem with this macro recorder is that isn't maintained any longer, and appears to break in newer browsers (or, at least in Chrome). Are there any JavaScript/jQuery based macro recorders that you can recommend.
Note: I am not referring to anything related to "Lisp-style" macros that are referenced in  this post. I mean an actual macro recorder that will capture and record mouse and keyboard events.

A: I have not yet found any libraries for macro recording, but it may be possible to record macros by capturing keyboard and mouse events or listening for events on a page. I found several JavaScript libraries for recording keyboard and mouse actions, so they may be useful for macro recording:

*

*evtrack is a library for event-tracking, including keyboard and mouse-tracking.

*musjs tracks mouse movements.

It might even be possible to "play back" recorded macros by simulating clicks and key presses on a page. To record a macro on more than one browser tab, it might be necessary to send messages between the tabs.

A: The following opensource records mouse movements:
https://github.com/danielwix/wix-client-recorder
It is an entirely client-side project.

Growing up in our family, there was love and there was laughter. From dressing our little brothers up in pink frilly tutus to epic family games of bocce Up North at the lake, laughter and love have always surrounded us.
For those of you who know Erica well, you know that when something is really hilarious, she'll laugh really low from deep in her belly—*huh-huh*. Then she crosses her legs like she might have an accident from laughing to hard.
I knew Brian was the one for Erica when he was over at our house one night and I heard Erica's *huh-huh* laugh coming from the other room. I knew that if Brian loved Erica enough to elicit the big belly laugh from her, he was worth keeping around.
Thank you, Brian. Thank you for making my little sister so ecstatically happy, for loving her and making her laugh. For being silly enough with her to sometimes almost make her wet her pants.
I'm known as the nerdy one in the family, and one of the most important things I've learned in all my studies of society, cultures, and people, is that FAMILY is the most important unit of society. I've learned that families come in all shapes and sizes, and aren't necessarily bound by blood or DNA, but are built on love and laughter.
Erica and Brian, congratulations on becoming a family. And as the two of you explore what it means to be a family, remember that you have people all over the world who love you, from Michigan to California, to Chicago, Montana, and Florida, and even as far as Korea, India, and Africa. Your marriage has built a family in exponential proportions, as we are all bound to you through love.
So on behalf of family far and wide, I wish the two of you an infinite amount of laughter, joy, and love in your lives.


We suggest carving out 2 hours each week to participate in this series.
Each lesson contains about 20 minutes of video and a follow-up quiz to respond to. The video and quiz will take about 30-45 minutes to complete (this is depending on how long they work on the quiz part)!
Webinars are approximately 60 minutes in length. These sessions are designed to review the responses to the quiz questions and give participants a chance to ask an EntreLeadership coach a question. If a participant can't make it to the live session, they can still submit questions for our team via the weekly quiz and we will get to as many as possible.
Participants will also have access to an exclusive FB group where they can participate in weekly challenges. This is optional if the business owner prefers their team member not to use FB. Consider participation in the FB group as "extra credit" and a fun way for the participant to interact and learn from their peers and the EntreLeadership team.

Agri-Tech Catalyst funding to improve food production in the developing world
DFID has announced £10m investment for research projects seeking to tackle the most pressing challenges facing food production systems in Africa.
As Africa has become urbanised, there has been a shift to low-nutrition diets which has a negative impact on health and wellbeing, including educational achievement for children. At the same time, additional steps in the 'from field to fork' process (harvesting, collecting and transporting, processing and packaging) have increased the risk of food shortages and price rises, which are likely to disproportionally affect the poor. This risk is made worse by the growing threat of climate change to crops, such as the higher risk of drought, flooding and erratic rainfall.
Innovations funded by UK aid through the Agri-Tech Catalyst will seek to tackle these challenges, ultimately helping to prevent food shortages, price rises and diet-related illnesses, and end hunger around the world. The Agri-Tech Catalyst is a UK programme that awards funding for research projects looking to improve food production in the developing world. The UK is providing £10m of additional investment for research projects seeking to tackle the most pressing challenges facing food production systems in Africa, such as low-nutrition diets, the risk of food shortages and the threat of climate change.
International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt said:
"With over three quarters of people living in extreme poverty in rural areas and two thirds of those, mainly women, earning a living from agriculture we know that a healthy and prosperous agricultural sector in African countries is vital not only to ending hunger, but also reducing poverty and growing businesses."
About the Agri-tech Catalyst (round 7) competition
There is currently up to £3 million of funding available from the Department for International Development (DFID) for early-stage feasibility studies, mid stage industrial research and late-stage experimental development. Projects must work on agri-tech and food chain innovations with partners in eligible African countries.
The aim of this competition is to increase the pace of development and scale of uptake of agricultural and food systems innovation by farmers and food systems actors (such as manufacturers, processors, retailers, distributors or wholesalers) in Africa. All projects must be collaborative and must include at least one partner from the UK and one from an eligible African country. All funding for businesses and research organisations will be sent through the administrative lead organisation.
You can find out more on the competition page.
Registration closes – 21 November 2018 12:00pm
Competition closes – 28 November 2018 12:00pm
Please contact a member of the KTN Agri-Food team if you would like to discuss a potential application.
Resources from competition briefing and consortia building events
KTN hosted a briefing and consortia-building workshop for this competition on Thursday, 27 September 2018 in London and a networking event on Friday, 5 October 2018 in Edinburgh. The aim of the workshops was to enable potential applicants to get a better understanding of the competition process, rules and scope. The workshops were also designed to help with networking and consortia building, and the London event offered a great opportunity for delegates to pitch their capabilities to potential collaborative partners.

A teenager who admitted supplying lighter fuel to his girlfriend - even though he knew it could endanger her life - has been admonished by a High Court judge.
Fallon Harrigan, 16, died after inhaling the butane gas through her mouth.
The sentence imposed on Gordon Hampsay, 19, from Linwood near Paisley, has been criticised by charities working to reduce the number of deaths from volatile substance abuse.
At the High Court in Forfar, Lord Bonomy said this was a highly unusual case.
Miss Harrigan fell unconscious after twice breathing the butane gas at her home in Paisley.
Lord Bonomy said he accepted that Hampsay had turned his life around as a result of the terrible tragedy.
He said no useful purpose would be served by imposing even a supervision order on the teenager.
However, the sentence - the lightest available to a court - has been criticised by campaigners.
Ralph MacGregor of the charity Re-Solv, which works to highlight the problem of volatile substance abuse, said people must realise butane gas can be lethal.
He called on the government to change the law on the supply of lighter fuel, which he said claims the lives of 80 young people in Britain each year.
Those who have been killed by butane gas include Lee O'Brien, from Methil in Fife.
The 16-year-old, who had just started a new job, died earlier this year.
His body was found by his girlfriend Gina Ironside in the home they were setting up together.
She is determined that something positive may come from his death.
Lee's father John is campaigning to have the law changed to make it more difficult for youngsters to kill themselves.
He said: "If a drug dealer was standing on a corner selling drugs the police and politicians would do something about it.
"But because this is a legal substance they are standing back and they are doing nothing.
"In the meantime our children are dying."
Mr O'Brien - who is also critical of the sentence imposed on Hampsay - is setting up a charity to help the family's campaign.
"Gordon Hampsay and two of his friends buzzed butane"

Christians who are taught to act morally primarily to escape punishment or to win self-respect and salvation are learning to be moral to serve themselves.
They are not loving God for Himself.
They are not obeying him simply because of his greatness and because he has done so much for them in Christ. Rather, they are using God to get the things they want.
What is your motivation for obedience?
Timothy Keller, Center Church, 67.
I'm one of those Christians who sometimes does the right thing for the right reason and sometimes does the right thing for the wrong reason. I often obey God simply because He loves me and I love Him. Other times I obey because I know it's the right thing to do even though it's not really what I want to do. Then there are the times I simply don't follow His will. I hope I'll stick to the right thing for the right reason more and more each day I'm breathing.
I think we all struggle with that. That is when we have to remind ourselves of the right reason.


Bushnell has introduced the inaugural offering in its Elite Tactical Hunter product line-the Elite Long Range Hunting Scope.
This 3-12x44 mm configuration showcases the technology and functionality of the Bushnell Elite Tactical series in a scope designed specifically for the long-range hunter.
The LRHS is the first hunting riflescope Bushnell has offered with a first focal-plane reticle. The G2H milliradian-based reticle is designed to give hunters the ability to range targets at any magnification setting. The G2H reticle has .5 mil hash marks with eight mils of holdover and six mils of windage adjustment. In addition, the center of the reticle features a Vital Bracket that has a diameter of two Mils at any range, equivalent to 7.2 inches at 100 yards.
Constructed of a forged aluminum one-piece 30 mm tube, the scope has an overall length of 13 inches and weighs 26 ounces. The LRHS features low-profile, tactical-style turrets calibrated in .1 mil clicks with 10 mils of adjustment per revolution. Equipped with the RevLimiter zero stop mechanism, the elevation turret is designed to allow the hunter to "dial up" and then quickly return to the preset zero without the possibility of dialing past zero. In addition, the scope features a rubber-armored, fast-focus eyepiece and side parallax adjustment to retain a crisp, clear sight picture at any range.
The Elite LRHS is argon purged to provide 100 percent waterproof and fog proof performance, while the patented RainGuard HD water-resistant coating provides a permanent exterior barrier against the elements.
Every product in the Elite series is not only covered by the Bushnell limited lifetime warranty, the entire product line is also backed with the one-year, no-risk Bushnell Bulletproof Guarantee. The 100-percent money back guarantee is valid up until one year from the original date of purchase.
The Elite LRHS 3-12x 44mm riflescope is available for a minimum advertised price of $1,499.99.

"The Crow" is one of the most beloved action-drama films of all time. With a deep story and wonderful characters, as well as a awesome cinematography (especially for a film with a limited budget), it's a testament to how amazing a movie can be if everyone on board puts their heart into the project. Unfortunately, the film doesn't seem to be aging very well. The DVD has heavy artifacts such as dirt and even scenes where the color seems to have been slightly washed with time.
With the recent announcement of The Crow being remade, it's only right that the original 1994 classic be released, but fans would like to see it given proper treatment.
It would be even more amazing if there was some way you could incorporate the original workprint version into the release, since it contains deleted and alternate footage, as well as slightly different music cues. The workprint is extremely rare, only available through bootlegs in terrible quality, and a must-have for fans of the film.
Please consider making a small donation today. This will allow us to keep The Crow (1994) - The Definitive Blu-Ray! alive and available to a wide audience.


The Tag Heuer Formula 1 CAH1213.BAO863 is sport and luxury combined.
Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches are known for their precise movement, high quality and attention to detail. They're luxury men's watches, rooted in racing sports. But wait–Tag Heuer also makes women's Formula 1 watches. They're just as luxurious and well-made, but with a feminine detailing. This Tag Heuer Formula 1 CAH1213.BAO863 women's watch is an eyeful. It's band is made of polished steel and white ceramic. The diamond-encrusted bezel rotates counterclockwise, and two subdials advertise this truly Formula 1 watch that's been refined for her. You will also appreciate the double safety clasp and diamonds studding each numeral.
Price: $2,700. This is a new model, and I was only able to find it for less on watchclick.com for $1,798. It probably goes without saying that trying it on in person is better than ordering online. Nordstrom carries Tag Heuer watches; you can start your shopping there and try on the various models. There are other women's Tag Heuer Formula 1's to choose from, but I think this is my favorite. The white ceramic and diamonds are fashionable feminine details, making it unmistakable from a man's watch.
The type of woman who would wear this watch is bold, adventurous, and loves speed, either literally or theoretically (or maybe both!). She is probably a sports fan and loves to play more than one sport. I envision a woman who snowboards in the winter and runs and surfs in the summer. But you do not have to be athletic to own this watch. You can simply love how it looks and want a precise, durable and beautiful watch to wear. Many women's watches today are silver with a round dial, so you have hundreds of models out there to choose from. Those who choose a Tag Heuer Formula 1 admire its precision and fine workmanship, the brand's stellar reputation, and the undisputed good looks and sport style of this watch.
If you can identify with numbers 1 or 2, keep searching; this isn't your dream watch. But if #3 is you, perhaps you should browse the Tag Heuer website for other varieties of the Formula 1–there are models without those details.
The Tag Heuer Formula 1 CAH1213.BAO863 women's watch is a lot of watch to handle (and afford). But like all Tag Heuers, it will last a lifetime, maybe longer.

Insight into organometallic intermediate and its evolution to covalent bonding in surface-confined Ullmann polymerization
Novel nanostructured low-dimensional materials have received marked interest in the last decade since they could be employed as active media in organic electronics devices.
Graphene-like 2D organic materials can be grown and confined onto suitable surfaces depositing and activating selected molecules with different strategies. In this respect, the surface-confined polymerization is a very promising bottom-up approach that allows the creation of layers with desired architectures and tunable properties of charge-transfer: polymers with different shape can be formed changing the molecules used as precursor, tuning the final properties according to the request, unlike the rigid graphene sheet.
The most successful method used to obtain ordered polymers on surfaces in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) is based on the Ullmann coupling reaction, producing covalently linked networks starting from aryl halide precursor molecules. However, the assessment of the occurred polymerization has been derived to observation of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images only, thus indirectly.
Our work reports a detailed insight into the Ullmann reaction, obtained by complementary spectroscopic measurements of occupied and unoccupied states performed at the ALOISA beamline of Elettra, STM analysis and first principles calculations (DFT).
The STM image in Figure 1 shows an ordered superstructure produced by depositing 1,4-dibromobenzene (dBB) precursor molecules on a Cu(110) surface at room temperature (RT).
Figure 1. Scheme of the Ullmann coupling at the different reaction steps (upper panel) and corresponding STM images (lower panel) showing the organometallic phase (at RT, 5.5×5.5 nm2, It=0.77 nA, Vb=-0.76 V) and the polymeric phase (at 500 K, 6.8×6.8 nm2, It=0.60 nA, Vb=-0.40 V).
According to the reaction scheme in Figure 1, the molecules dehalogenate upon deposition at RT resulting in copper-bound bromine atoms and an organometallic structure, which consists of phenylene groups bonded at each end to Cu atoms. This organometallic phase is different from that obtained using iodine in the precursor molecules witnessing the importance of the halogen in driving a specific structure. DFT calculations unveil the configuration of the organometallic chains (not shown here).
The topography changes by heating the surface up to 500 K: the chains are all oriented along the direction and the spacing between the protrusion is reduced. However, only through surface spectroscopic analysis at the different reaction steps it is possible to assign the different topographies to organometallic or polymeric phase. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) results in Figure 2b prove that the molecules are completely dehalogenated (compared to the signals from the intact molecules, obtained at low temperature (LT), i.e. 100 K) and show the presence of the organometallic structure, related to the peak at 283.2 eV. After the annealing at 500 K this peak disappears and the C 1s signal is in agreement with the presence of poly(para-phenylene) (PPP) polymers.
Figure 2. C-K edge NEXAFS (a), C 1s and Br 3d XPS (b), and C 1s Fast-XPS (c) analysis of the system at the various reaction steps (a, b) and during the transition from organometallic to polymeric phase (c). The inset in c shows some profiles of the plot in the transition region (between the yellow dotted lines).
NEXAFS measurements in Figure 2a provide another proof of the polymerization. The disappearance of the transition after the annealing is related to a recovery of planarity of the organic phase (i.e. aromatic rings) on the substrate: the only way to obtain a planar system from the distorted organometallic structure is to form polymers.
Fast-XPS measurements (Figure 2c) at the C 1s core level performed during the annealing of the surface (one spectrum each 2 s, heating rate: 2 K/s) provided real-time information about the transition from organometallic to polymeric phase: we found it to occur at 460 ± 10 K. At such temperature the component at 283.2 eV (well visible in the lowest curves of the inset in Figure 2c) vanishes, witnessing the breaking of C-Cu bond breaks. The polymers remain stable up to 600 K, since the lineshape remain unchanged.

I always peruse Craiglist "Gigs" in hopes of finding some cool photography gigs to help hone my craft. Wednesday I finally found one! I responded to an ad looking for energetic, motivated photographers with a free Saturday morning. The ad stated that it would be 4 hours of intense shooting and you'd be paid at the end of the 4 hours. Sold - I like "easy" money!
I heard back from a member of Seeing Digitally later that evening and was informed that the 4 hour event was actually a Color Run. This made me pause because I'd just read several articles by photographers who'd ruined thousands of dollars of photography equipment while shooting one of these runs.
Now imagine, as a photographer, my quandary. Do I take the job, make some "easy" money, use my equipment, and risk possibly ruining a lens? Or do I spend my Saturday sleeping in and making breakfast for my family (not a bad way to spend a Saturday I admit, but a paying gig is a paying gig)? I emailed Seeing Digitally back and expressed my concern about the fine, corn starch powder ruining my equipment and they offered to pay me the same amount and allow me to use THEIR equipment! SOLD!
So, I'm up at 5:45am Saturday morning and by 7:30am, I'm being motioned to a parking space by an older gentleman in a reflective vest. Let's do this! Turns out the parking lot they directed us to was not the lot behind the start/finish area that everyone expected. No, they parked us on the other side of The Wharf. I hoofed it the ~ 1/2 mile to where I was supposed to meet with the on site Seeing Digitally guy. I got my gear, got my Crew tshirt, and started shooting. These people were crazy! I hadn't even had coffee yet and they were doing Zumba in an open field. Ok, good crazy, but still, it was really early.
After taking well over a hundred "before" shots (i.e. still in clean, white clothes). All photographers were dispatched to our race locations. I was given the Orange Color Station. We were warned that by the end of 4 hours, we'd probably look about as bad as the racers. I didn't believe them. I found myself a spot uphill and upwind from the orange color throwing volunteers where I could shoot the runners right after being blasted with color. You guessed it, I stayed clean for about the first 3 minutes. I spent the rest of the race sitting on the ground with a handkerchief tied around my face shooting furiously.
After the runners were through my section, I headed back over to the finish area to take some "after" shots, turn in my camera, and get my check.
It was a fun morning, I made some cash, got some sun(burn), and managed to leave not QUITE as orange as an Oompa Loompa. I'd definitely do it again!

"Winesburg, Ohio: Queer and The Untold Lie" by Sherwood Anderson
October 1, 2021 Jen Leave a comment
We are getting to know these characters well, wouldn't you say? There are a total of over 100 characters named in the book, some appearing only once and some recurring several times. Let's crunch some numbers: According to literary scholar Forrest L. Ingram, "George Willard recurs in all but six stories; 33 characters each appear in more than one story (some of them five and six times). Ninety-one characters appear only once in the cycle (ten of these are central protagonists in their stories)." Ok, enough math. Within the stories, characters figure in anecdotes that cover a relatively large time period; much of the action takes place during George's teenage years, but there are also episodes that go back several generations (like "Godliness"), approximately twenty years like "Hands", and anywhere in between. The climactic scenes of two stories, "The Strength of God" and "The Teacher", are actually juxtaposed over the course of one stormy January evening. As Malcolm Cowley writes in his introduction to the 1960 Viking edition, Anderson's "…instinct was to present everything together, as in a dream." Enjoy!

The embargo has just been lifted, so after three weeks of waiting, here are a selection of PES 2013 reviews and impressions taken from the lucky members who attended last month's early hands-on at Konami's press tour in Brazil.
"As usual, Konami's presenting its PES 2013 additions in the form of three pillars: Full Control (PES FC), Advanced AI and Player ID. These were mentioned earlier this year in the form of a press release, and we have to admit we weren't exactly blown away. How wrong we were.
"The slower pace, combined with the great PES FC additions, makes for a more tactical, skilful game, which not only shakes off last year's image as 'the arcade footy title' but, according to some FIFA-loving journos on our trip, might seriously be enough to see them switch allegiance this year."
"Holding down the tackle button harries an opposition player, holding up the play - while double-tapping the same button sends the player lunging in pursuit of the ball, a challenge that won't necessarily work out, that outcome made more likely by the more advanced close control that's afforded to attacking players."
"The Player ID stuff looked amazing as well, especially with Ronaldo. All his movements in the game look wonderful. The way he runs, dribbles, shoots, passes etc all look extremely lifelike, and bodes well for the other players who are lucky enough to have this treatment."
"We all remember the extreme lack of skill of the keepers in PES 2012. It seems that the PES Team have not been deaf and has worked hard to provide a response to the rise to the occasion, with an increase in the number of animations included."
Talking about Player ID: "Ronaldo, Messi, Kaka, Robben, Iniesta, Neymar, Xavi, Ribery, Puyol and Terry, even with his famous diving header, were shown in sequence in real movies and gaming. We do not yet know the total number of players who will enjoy this "treatment" but we hope that it's as many as possible."
"The goalkeepers, a longtime complaint of PES fans, had special attention. Many animations have been added, in addition to improved artificial intelligence of the goalkeepers.
"Defending Response gives greater control over the steals. Pressing X twice, and your player will try to catch the ball, regardless of where it is."
"It is fair to say that the manual passing and shooting require some training by the player who must again absorb a whole series of new commands.
"The production team revealed that they are working on a way to banish the cheats - or anything else malicious let a player win matches illegally."


In 1909 the Commonwealth Government offered a prize of 10,000 pounds to encourage production of a flying machine suitable for Military purposes. Laurie Marshall, from Fairfield, Victoria, was one of 21 young 'aviators' selected to compete. He was an all round athlete and very determined by nature, and a butcher by trade. His inspiration to fly had been observation of vultures flying over the hills of South Africa during the Boer War.
The only known photograph of the Marshall aeroplane constructed for a prize originally offered by the then Commonwealth government in 1909. The plane was 30 feet long with a wingspan of 32 feet and weighed 585 lbs. Photograph kindly provided (to Defending Victoria website) by Marshall's grandson, Craig Nielsen Little.
The plane was a skeletal biplane tractor engined single seater, with four cycle wheels and skids as undercarriage, somewhat resembling the Avro designs. Engine designed by a garage owner in the High Street, Armadale. Flat four, air cooled with twin bladed laminated propeller. Unfortunately the pots blew off on ocasions which had an effect on reliability ! Neighbours complaints compounded the problems. The airframe was made in a shed adjacent to the Grand View Hotel, Fairfield, but an impregnated bolt of fabric caught fire once and burned out the back of a nearby house.
After many attempts over the next two years, he failed to fly within the requirements and imported a V-four air cooled J.A.P. motor from the U.K.; the resulting crash broke his arm and he was financially in trouble too by then. However, he persisted and flew 500 yds.at 30 ft. on the 15th April 1912. This was 18 months after John Duigan's pusher flight, which he chose to make outside the Competition Rules. These same rules caused Laurie's downfall too, as they required the aircraft to `poise' in mid-air and carry two people. He was by then heavily in debt, mortgaging his house and business. He persisted, with the glittering prize ahead of him.
On June 3rd. 1912 he advertised, at 2 shillings 'a pop', (for a fare of 2 shillings approx 10 cents US) that he would fly from the Northcote Oval, Victoria. About 1000 people turned up and some 5000 were outside. The engine refused to start and a near riot ensued. His creditors seized the plane and auctioned it and there is no knowledge of it's final fate. The man himself went on to clear all his debts over the next decade and went on to try 11 times to get into Collingwood City Council. He finally succeeded in this and became Mayor in 1936-7, persistance being a feature of his campaigns.
Lawrence George Hatton Marshall was said to be the youngest man to enlist for service in the Victorian Contingents. Not accepted for service as a soldier, he managed to join as a farrier on the strength of previous part-time experience as a blacksmith's striker. He later transferred to the 4th Victorian 'Imperial' Contingent of the Victorian Mounted Rifles as a Trooper.
The engine is thought to have been painstakingly constructed in an Armidale (Victoria) garage, and the aeroplane itself was constructed at Fairfield. The first attempt at flight is believed to have taken place in 1911, but the craft never left the ground before ending nose up with a broken wing and propellor. The daring would-be aviator, Laurie Marshall, suffered a broken arm. A successful hop with a new, imported engine took place on 18 February 1912, but this quickly ended in another crash. Marshall probably stalled it on takeoff.
On 14 April 1912, three successful flights were made, the best reaching 30 feet and covering 500 yards. The event was featured in the Melbourne Argus newspaper next day in a brief paragraph with the headline 'Melbourne Airman--Successful Flights'. Despite this, Laurie Marshall inexplicably did not win the 10,000 pounds Commonwealth prize. Writer Jim Fullarton wondered whether the imported J. A. P. engine scuttled Laurie's hopes. With mounting losses, the plane was soon seized by Northcote police and mortgages were foreclosed. It took 12 years for Laurie Marshall to recover financially.
He next tried to succeed in politics, being elected as a Labour councillor to the Northcote Council. He even served as Mayor between 1936-7, a grand comeback for someone bankrupt only a few years earlier. Attempts to enter State politics failed (he was once beaten by only 17 votes). Laurie Marshall died in 1966 aged 82.

The IS claim of a new caliphate would be laughable but for troubling resonances with Turkey's ambitions
A killer truck ploughed through a festive crowd in the French Riviera town of Nice on the national holiday of July 14, at just the time when Donald Trump was on the other bank of the Atlantic, in the last stages of picking a running mate for November's US presidential election. His choice fell finally on a nondescript mid-western state governor who brought evangelical heft to his ticket, but little value to the blank slate of his foreign policy expertise.
Verbal aggression being his stock response to challenging situations, Trump reacted to Nice by calling for a formal declaration of war on the Islamic State (IS), which was reflexively blamed for the heinous crime. The IS for its part was eager to own responsibility, though there is sufficient ambiguity about its command structures to suggest that it mostly wakes up after the fact to the terror potential of events.
The atrocity in Nice has yet again raised that question about when a deranged criminal's act crosses the terrorism threshold. Attributions to the IS are loosely based upon a directive going back two years from somebody claiming the mantle of its spokesman, demanding that every westerner at any time or place, should be dealt with severely, with a full range of options — from suicide bombing, to stabbing to defenestration — being advised for the ritual slaying.
In terms of public knowledge, this psychopathic rant of uncertain attribution is the basis on which the world is invited down a pathway to unending war. Nobody is aware of the wisdom secreted in the vaults of the world's intelligence agencies. These would probably hold definitive information on the nurturance of the IS by western allies such as Saudi Arabia and Turkey, anxious to retrieve a situation that was slipping out of control after the disaster of the US invasion of Iraq.
Uncertainties over the parentage of the IS do not seem to cast a shadow over the blame it draws for every atrocity of the new world disorder. As the French defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian put it, it was immaterial what organisational input IS had in the mass murder at Nice, since the "terrorist spirit" the group inspired was sufficient. The ample gaps in this narrative, presumably, are easily filled in by old-fashioned racism.
What would a formal declaration of war add to the authorisation granted in 2001 during the George W Bush presidency, which he and his successor have used to enlarge the footprint of the war to places that had nothing to do with the event that triggered it all? Very little, but Trump's hyperbole — after years of buyers' remorse following Bush — stirred up war lust yet again and drew a "me too" response from rival Hillary Clinton.
The war that Bush summoned the world to was one without territorial locus, since terrorism was an intent that could exist anywhere. Trump's call for war dignifies a shapeless militia with a territorial identity, making its fantasy of a "caliphate" something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This comes at just the time the IS was for the first time facing the possibility of being uprooted from its redoubts in Syria and Iraq. Forces loyal to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad have, with supporting Russian airpower, mounted a fierce assault on IS positions in Raqqa province in recent weeks. Along another frontline, the US has mobilised its clients in Syria to turn their fire away from the Assad regime and take on the IS.
There is little coordination between the two, though Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov and US secretary of state John Kerry agreed at a recent meeting that this would in principle be a good thing. At the minimum, military coordination would require the two sides to align their currently discordant strategic objectives.
If coordination between the US and Russia becomes a reality, the space available for third party ambitions would rapidly close. With objectives deeply at odds with both the US and Russia, Turkey would likely be squeezed out.
Turkey has, in other ways, been the perfect illustration of how vassal states step out of the shadow to assert their own ambitions when the power of the imperial overlord is fraying. For president Recep Tayyib Erdogan, the effort to recreate a Turkish sultanate as the centenary of its demise approaches, runs alongside a ruthless drive towards untrammelled power at home.
It has been a rocky pathway, with blowback from military adventures in Syria and Iraq often blurring into provocations staged by Turkish intelligence and security agencies to discredit the president's domestic political opponents. With civil war reignited within his borders, Erdogan has sent his army to occupy a vast swathe of Iraq's Kurdistan provinces to pre-empt any possible cross-border consolidation of Kurdish might.
Turkey has been rattled by the alignment of Syria's Kurd forces with the US in the battle against the IS. It has retaliated by providing transit rights for IS oil shipments from areas it controls in Iraq. Yet Erdogan is now finding it virtually impossible, even with his formidable political skills, to manage this strategic tangle.
The army uprising of July 15 was indication that Turkey's fragile institutions could buckle under pressure. Erdogan reacted with a mass purge and arrests that have shaken the country's armed forces and judiciary. Turkey's modern day sultan remains as ruthlessly focused on his personal aggrandisement as ever. The strategic quagmire he has taken the country into, could well prove his nemesis.

Q: what is the persistance of LocationManager registration Lets say I have an app and within its activity I will register pendingIntent with LocationManager to be triggered every 10mins.
like in this example :
Android: How to get location information from intent bundle extras when using LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates()
If user closes the app will the LocationManager still keep firing pendingIntent ?
so that I can invoke notification from BroadcastReciver (manifest ver) of my app for this pendingIntent when my app is not running.
If yes, then when the LocationManager is actually cleaned, after phone restart?

A: If you want reliable location updates after the app exits, please consider using AlarmManager (example) to wake up the device every 10 minutes. Register and unregister your location listener each time the alarm fires so that the GPS can be otherwise idle.
You may also want to use something like WakefulIntentService (see here) so that the device will stay awake while your app is waiting for a location update. Android will interrupt your BroadcastReceiver's onReceive() method if it takes too long and isn't holding a WakeLock.
