"For those who love adventure and exploration, the fraction of a second when you realise that you have actually rewritten the history or confirmed something that has only been speculated on before, is an unforgettable moment," says underwater explorer Immi Wallin.
Immi Wallin and her Subzone team discovered a missing German U-boat off the Estonian coast in August. Here, Wallin tells the story for the first time.
"The secrets of the seas, with its hidden lost ships, do not reveal themselves easily. To find these secrets, you sometimes need perfect weather, plotting information from the archives of sea charts and then checking a mysterious marking on your chart, which you do not remember how and why you put down in the first place.
On August 12th, about a month ago, I went to check a marking on my sea chart with side scan sonar together along with my colleague. The marking had bothered me for some time because I did not remember what it was and it seemed to be next to a mine row and in a patrol area of a still missing German U-boat.
U-679 gave a weather report on December 27th 1944 while in the Gulf of Finland. She had rendezvoused at sea with U-637 and U-745 in the evening of December 26th. U-745 had delivered encrypted communication.
On January 9th, Soviet MO-124 detected a submarine four miles northeast of the Pakri lighthouse and dropped eight large and 20 small depth charges. The Germans assumed that MO-124 had sunk U-679, but the Soviets did not believe it because they didn't find any evidence of a destroyed submarine in the area. Nevertheless, the cause for disappearance of U-679 that was recorded in Western literature was depth charge attack by MO-124. The fact that U-679 did not reply to a message sent on January 10th, 1945 supported this theory.
Back to August 12th 2015. I decided to survey the whole mine row laid in January 1945 that was plotted next to the marking I had on my sea chart. When reaching the marked spot on the chart, something happened on the screen of the side scan sonar. The moment I saw a submarine image appearing on the sonar screen was exactly the fraction of a second that I will remember forever. The image showed a Type 7C German submarine – already recognizable from the image. There was only one that had not been found yet – U-679. That same night the Estonian National Heritage Board was informed about the discovery.
The first dive to U-679 was conducted on September 10th. Due to the depth, 90 m, we needed a flat sea and a team of deep divers, support divers and boat handlers. The aim for the dive was to document the wreck's condition. The video material was provided to the authorities.
Conditions were good at the surface, but more challenging in the water. There were slight horizontal currents all the way from the surface to the bottom. The most challenging part was the visibility that worsened towards the depths.
We passed several white cloud layers and just about 10 m above the bottom the visibility got very bad and I could smell the hydrogen sulphide typical for a sea bottom with hypoxia. The shape of the submarine's conning tower became slightly visible in the light we carried with us. The shot line was in the middle of the conning tower, so we decided to shoot video around the conning tower having possibility to find back to the shot line.
The video camera, once again, could see much more than our eyes. We could confirm what was visible already on the side scan sonar image. The conning tower was type IV, having 3.7 cm anti-aircraft gun on the lower wintergarten and two 2 cm zwilling anti-aircraft guns on the upper wintergarten. The hatches were closed.

Liposuctioned Fat Reveals Valuable Stem Cells
Scientific American June 15, 2013
Click here to listen to this podcast
Stem cells are prized for their ability to give rise to a variety of specialized cell types, including heart, liver, nerve and bone. Unfortunately, it's the stem cells from embryos that have shown the biggest potential, for generating both a range of tissues and a ton of controversy.
Now, researchers have discovered a new type of stem cell, present in adults, that appears to have similar potential to its embryonic kin. Best of all, it comes from a source a lot of us would be happy to give away: body fat. That's according to a study in the journal PLoS ONE. [Saleh Heneidi et al., Awakened by Cellular Stress: Isolation and Characterization of a Novel Population of Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived from Human Adipose Tissue]
These fat-based stem cells were discovered by accident. Researchers were trying to grow cells from material collected by liposuction. But when a piece of lab equipment failed, the cells in their sample died—except for these unusually hearty stem cells.
They can apparently withstand all sorts of harsh conditions, like nutrient or oxygen deprivation and attack by digestive enzymes. In fact, stress may even activate these cells, which would make them excellent candidates for repairing diseased or damaged tissues.
More studies are needed to explore these cells' potential. Which means researchers could be looking for a big fat donation.

Consumers need better access to data to make smart decisions.
Across most of Australia, the electricity industry is in the midst of a major rollout of so-called "smart meters" led by retailers – your household may very well have one already.
With the exception of Western Australia and the Northern Territory (and Victoria which has them already), all new and replacement meters will now be smart. This means that instead of simply recording electricity use for later checking, they can give retailers detailed consumption data, measured at 30-minute intervals or less – and also allow the supply to be turned on or off remotely.
Retailers can also offer to upgrade select customers' existing meters to smart meters (again with the exception of Victoria, which has a blanket rollout), and consumers are free to accept or decline (except where a broken or ageing meter is being replaced).
This is an important testing ground for the soon-to-be legislated Consumer Data Right, which aims to give consumers better access to their own data, which in turn will help them save money.
But our research has found that under the current policy settings consumers are not getting the full range of benefits from the smart meter rollout, for a few main reasons.
The main consumer benefit of a smart meter is to reduce electricity bills. But to do this, consumers need easy access to their daily electricity usage data, which can then be translated into useful information that enables them to compare tariffs. Consumers ought to be able choose such value-added services from third party providers by granting access to this data.
But consumers cannot currently access their daily electricity usage data when they need it free of charge. There is no common data format nor a simple way to authorise third-party access to the data, thus creating extra costs for third parties.
Retailers can charge a fee to access consumer data, effectively blocking rival companies that might be offering cheaper retail tariffs. But if consumers themselves could allow third parties to access their metering data, subject to security and privacy protections, it would give those consumers a much wider choice of tariffs and services.
Currently the federal government's Energy Made Easy website (run by the Australian Energy Regulator) does not let consumers compare tariffs and services in a timely and user-friendly way. There are proposals to reform the website, and there is no shortage of good existing examples on which it might be modelled, such as the Victorian government's Switch On and the North American Green Button initiative.
It is not enough that these tools simply exist; consumers must be actively encouraged to use them. This involves a wide-ranging, effective and ongoing consumer education campaign.
While there are highly active energy "prosumers" who generate and sell their own power and actively monitor and manage their energy use, most households do not fall into this category.
Most customers need information and encouragement to take up opportunities arising out of smart meter data. This will require much better communications by governments, retailers, networks, consumers and community organisations as an integral part of the smart meter rollout.
Electricity is an essential service, and policymakers need to ensure that the benefits of smart meters flow to everyone, not just the most switched-on customers.
Even with the help of the tools and campaigns described above, there are those who may still miss out on the benefits – such as, for example, vulnerable consumers who engage with smart meters but end up making poor choices through a lack of financial or digital literacy.
What's more, remotely read meters make it easier to disconnect users, which again is likely to disproportionately affect the most vulnerable members of the community. Adequate consumer protections need to be built into the smart meter rollout. This involves ensuring that hardship provisions in the National Energy Customer Framework, concessions, and information provision keeps pace with developments in the metering market.
The retailer-led rollout is likely to be slow and could lead to a highly uneven patchwork of meters across Australia, and therefore uneven customer benefits. There are many reasons for this. Existing "dumb" meters have a long useful life and regularly last more than 30 years (some are more than 40 years old!); there is a lack of scale in the deployment by retailers who do not have contracts with all customers in a local area; certain customer groups may be deemed "uneconomic" by retailers and not offered new meters; and households in areas with poor mobile network coverage (most likely rural and regional areas) are unlikely to be offered a smart meter.
Such a large-scale rollout of new meters, which is piecemeal in some places and not in others, is bound to be difficult and there is no perfect model. The market for smart meters is in its infancy and needs careful monitoring and evaluation as it develops. But policymakers nevertheless need to get on the front foot and guarantee simple access to smart meter data and services for all consumers; actively encourage and demonstrate to consumers how these services can lower their electricity costs; and most of all ensure that no one is left behind in this emerging market.

We've given £2.5 million to support the City of London Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, PIPCU.
The first unit of its kind in the world, PIPCU is working with industry groups – including the BPI – on the Infringing Websites List.
They really don't get it. Earlier this week, again in a response to a Torrent Freak article I looked at the democratic control of the City of London Police and noted that when the Tories introduced their flawed Police and Crime Commissioner positions, they ensured that both the Met and the City police were excluded. There is a reason that the UK has historically denied the central government the powers to manage the police. It's because we have always tried to create a segregation of duties between those that write the law, those that search for evidence of wrong doing and the decisions to prosecute and judge. Our observation of the way in which tyrannies run their police suggest that this is a better approach.
Anyway, the City of London Police have no citizen elected controller, and so both business and now a business controlled government are funding a set of highly dubious police actions.
He also reported that the UK was the 2nd biggest music exporter in the world. The interesting fact would be the Balance of Trade figures, and I first heard this last year although at the time, it was said that Sweden sold more music then the UK, based presumably on Spotify's performance, and maybe Abba, although they broke up in 1982, over thirty years ago. I wonder what the numbers are.
← Who do PIPCU serve?


In an on-going commitment by the Motor Equipment Department to keep up with the latest clean burning engines that produce the least amount of greenhouse gas emissions, the City of Akron purchased eighteen (18) automated refuse, four (4) rear loading refuse, and one (1) tandem/ dump/ salt/ plow trucks. All are on 2013 Kenworth T470 chassis with Cummins 9 liter Diesel engine that are 2010 Clean idle certified and have SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction of emissions). These 18 vehicles replaced 1998-2006 trucks that were heavy polluters. The City Department also purchased fourteen (14) dump, plow, /salt trucks that are on 2013 Peterbilt 348 cab & chassis, with 8 liter Cummins diesel engines, also 2010 Clean Idle Certified and have SCR emissions. These vehicles replace 1995-1998 trucks.

VEROSIMILITUDES PLANAS: CASO DEL MODELO SIR-POISSON
José A. Montoya*, Gudelia Figueroa Preciado, Mayra Tocto Erazo
*Autor correspondiente de este trabajo
Systems of differential equations are used as the basis to define mathematical structures for moments, like the mean and variance of probability distributions of random variables. Nevertheless, the integration of a deterministic model and a probabilistic one, in order to describe a random phenomenon, and take advantage of the observed data for making inferences on certain population dynamic characteristics, can lead to parameter identifiability problems for the observed sample. Furthermore, approaches to deal with those problems are usually inappropriate. In this paper, the shape of the likelihood function of a SIR-Poisson model is used to describe the relationship between flat likelihoods and the practical parameter identifiability problem. In particular, we show how a flattened shape for the profile likelihood of the basic reproductive number R0, arises as the observed sample (over time) becomes smaller, causing ambiguity regarding the shape of the average model behavior. We conducted some simulation studies to analyze the flatness severity of the R0likelihood, and the coverage frequency of the likelihood-confidence regions for the model parameters. Finally, we describe some approaches to deal the practical identifiability problem, showing the impact that those can have on inferences. We believe this work can help to raise awareness on the way statistical inferences can be affected by a priori parameter assumptions and the underlying relationship between them, as well as those arising by model reparameterizations and incorrect model assumptions.

Gates: Court Shouldn't Set Policy on "Don't Ask"
October 13, 2010 / 12:06 PM / AP
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday that abruptly ending the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy as a federal judge has ordered would have enormous consequences.
A day after a judge in California ordered the Pentagon to cease enforcement of its policy barring gays from openly serving in the military, Gates told reporters that the question of whether to repeal the law should be decided by Congress, and done only after the Pentagon completes its study on the issue.
"I feel strongly this is an action that needs to be taken by the Congress and that it is an action that requires careful preparation, and a lot of training," said Gates. "It has enormous consequences for our troops."
The defense secretary said that besides the changes in training, regulations will need revisions and changes may be necessary to benefits and Defense Department buildings.
The battle in the courts over gays in the military may be far from over. The Justice Department is considering whether to appeal the court ruling and its first response may well be another trip to the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips in Riverside, Calif., to seek a stay, or temporary freeze, of her ruling. If Phillips turns down the request, the Justice Department would likely turn to the federal appeals court in California.
It was unclear whether Phillips' injunction against the 17-year-old policy on gays in the military would affect any ongoing cases.
If the government does appeal, that would put the Obama administration in the position of continuing to defend a law it opposes.
Gay rights groups warned gay troops not to disclose their identity for now. Aaron Tax, the legal director for the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, said he expects the Justice Department to appeal the case to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
"Service members must proceed safely and should not come out at this time," Tax said in a statement.
Gates, a Republican, and Mullen face disagreement among the most senior general officers on whether lifting the ban would cause serious disruption at a time when troops are fighting in Afghanistan and winding down a long war in Iraq.
For example, the incoming Marine commandant, Gen. Joseph Amos, and his predecessor, Gen. James Conway, both have told Congress that they think most Marines would be uncomfortable with the change and that the current policy works.
In part to resolve the question of how the troops feel, Gates has ordered a study due Dec. 1 that includes a survey of troops and their families.
Mr. Obama agreed to the Pentagon study. Mr. Obama also worked with Democrats to write a bill that would have lifted the ban, pending completion of the Defense Department review and certification from the military that troop morale wouldn't suffer. That legislation passed the House but was blocked in the Senate by Republicans.
Democrats could revive the legislation in Congress' lame-duck session after the midterm election.
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins accused Phillips of "playing politics" with national defense.
"Once again, an activist federal judge is using the military to advance a liberal social agenda, disregarding the views of all four military service chiefs and the constitutional role of Congress," he said.
Perkins urged the Justice Department "to fulfill its obligation to defend the law vigorously through the appeals process."
Gates has said the purpose of his study isn't to determine whether to change the "don't ask, don't tell" law, which is something he says is probably inevitable but for Congress to decide. Instead, the study is intended to determine how to end the policy without causing serious disruption.
Coming just three weeks before voters go to the polls, Tuesday's ruling seemed unlikely to force a final weeks' change of strategy or message as candidates pounded home their plans to help put back to work the 15 million Americans lacking jobs.
Polls suggest the economy is driving voters' choices, pushing national security and social issues down on their list of concerns.

Sou usuario do vim a algum tempo e sempre estou procurando aprender mais e mais sobre esse excelente editor.
Recentemente encontrei um otimo post no blog do Yann Esposito para iniciantes aprenderem vim rapidamente e tambem para veteranos querendo aprender algumas magicas desse otimo edito de texto.
Gostei tanto do post que resolvi traduzi-lo para divulgar o vim e mostrar como voar com ele.
Então vamos ao post!

TL;DR: Quer aprender vim (o melhor editor conhecido pela humanidade) da forma mais rapida possivel. Eu sugiro um caminho. Comece aprendendo o basico pra sobreviver, entao integre todos os truques devagar

Vim, o editor de texto de seis bilhões de dólares

Melhor, mais rapido, mais forte

Aprenda vim e ele será seu ultimo editor de texto. Ele não é o melhor editor de texto, eu sei. É dificil de aprender, mas incrivel de usar.

Eu sugiro aprende-lo em 4 passos:
Sobreviva
Sinta-se confortavel
Sinta-se melhor, mais rapido, mais forte
Use os superpoderes do vim
No final dessa jornada você se tornará um superstar do vim!
Mas antes de começar, um aviso. Aprender vim será doloroso no começo. Isso leva tempo. É muito parecido com aprender a tocar um instrumento musical. Não espere ser eficiente com vim do que com outro editor em 3 dias. Na verdade vai levar 2 semanas ao inves de 3 dias.
Nivel 1 - Sobreviva
insta-le o vim
abra o vim
NÃO FAÇA NADA! Leia
Em um editor de texto normal, escrever no teclado é o suficiente para escrever alguma coisa e ve-la na tela. Não dessa vez. Vim está no modo Normal. Vamos entrar no modo de Inserção. Digite a letra i.
Agora voce se sente um pouco melhor. Voce pode digitar textos como um editor de texto normal. Para voltar para o modo normal, tecle ESC.
Voce sabe trocar entre o modo Normal e de Inserção. E agora a lista de comandos que voce pode usar no modo Normal para sobreviver:

i - modo de Inserção. Tecle ESC para voltar ao modo Normal.
x - para deletar o caracter em baixo do cursor.
:wq - Salvar e Sair (:w para salvar, :q para sair).
dd - deletar e copiar a linha atual.
p - colar.
Recomendado:
hjkl (altamente recomendado, mas nao obrigatorio) - movimentos basicos do cursor (←↓↑→). Dica: j é a seta para baixo.
:help <comando> - mostra o help do <comando>, voce pode começar a usar o :help sem nada mais.

Somenten 5 comandos. Isso é muito pouco para começar. Uma vez que esses comandos começarem a sair naturalmente (pode ser no final do dia), voce pode ir para o nivel 2.
Mas antes apenas uma observação no modo Normal. Em editores normais, para copiar voce deve usar a tecla Ctrl (Ctrl + c geralmente). Na verdade, quando voce pressiona o Ctrl, é como se todas as funcionalidades das teclas mudassem. Com vim no modo Normal, é como se seu Ctrl sempre estivesse pressionado.
Uma ultima observação sobre notações:
ao invés de escrever Ctrl-V, vamos escrever <C-V>
comandos começam com : e terminam com <enter>. Por exemplo, quando eu escrever :q isso significa :q<enter>
Nivel 2 - Sinta-se confortavel
Voce sabe os comandos para sobreviver. Agora é hora de aprender mais alguns comandos. Eu sugiro:
Variações do modo de Inserção:

a - insere depois do cursor
o - insere uma nova linha depois da linha corrente
O - insere uma nova linha antes da linha corrente
cw - substitui do cursor até o final da palavra

Movimentos Basicos:

0 - vai para o inicio da linha
^ - vai para o primeiro caracter nao-branco da linha
$ - vai para o final da linha
g_ - vai para o ultimo caracater nao-branco da linha
/padrao - procura por padrao

Copiar/Colar

P - cola antes do cursor, relembre que p é para colar depois da posição corrente.
yy - copia a linha corrente, mais facil que o ddP

Desfazer/Refazer:

u - desfazer
<C-r> (**Ctrl-r**) - refazer

Carregar/Salvar/Sair/Mudar Arquivo (buffer):

:e <caminho/para/arquivo> - abrir
:w - salvar
:saveas <caminho/para/arquivo> - salvar em <caminho/para/arquivo/>
:x, ZZ ou :wq - salvar e sair (:x somente salva se necessario)
:q! - sair sem salvar, tambem :qa! até mesmo se houver algum buffer modificado escondido
:bn (resp. :bp) - mostra o proximo (resp. anterior) arquivo (buffer)

Separe algum tempo para aprender esses comandos. Uma vez aprendido, voce deve estar apto para fazer tudo que voce faz em qualquer outro editor. Mas até agora, isso é um pouco estranho. Mas siga-me até o proximo nivel e voce verá porque.
Nivel 3 - Melhor. Mais Forte. Mais Rapido.
Parabens por chegar tao longe! Nós podemos começar a parte interessante. No nivel 3, nós iremos falar somente sobre comandos que são compativeis com o vi antigo.
Melhor
Vamos ver como o vim faz para te ajudar a repetir um comando:
. (ponto) - irá repetir o ultimo comando
N<comando> - irá repetir o comando N vezes.
Alguns exemplos, abre um arquivo e digite:

2dd - irá deletar 2 linhas
3p - irá colar o texto 3 vezes
100idesu ESC - irá escrever "desu" 100 vezes
. (ponto) - irá repetir o ultimo comando, escrevendo mais 100 vezes "desu"
3. - irá escrever 3 "desu" (e não 300, muito inteligente)

Mais forte
Saber como se mover de modo eficiente no vim é muito importante. Não pule esta seção.
NG - vai para a linha N
gg - atalho para 1G, vai para o começo do arquivo
G - vai para a ultima linha
Andando em palavras:

w - vai para o começo da palavra seguinte
e - vai para o final da palavra seguinte
Por padrao, uma palavra é composta de letras e caracteres underscore ( _ ). Vamos chamar de uma PALAVRA um grupo de letras separadas por caracteres em branco. Se voce quiser considerar PALAVRA, entao use letras maiusculas:
W - vai para o inicio da PALAVRA seguinte
E - vai para o final da PALAVRA seguinte

Agora vamos falar sobre movimentos mais eficientes:

% - Vai para o correspondente (, [, {
* (resp #) - vai para a proxima (resp anterior) ocorrencia da palavra sob o cursor.

Acredite em mim, esses tres comandos são ouro.
Mais rapido
Lembra sobre a importancia dos movimentos no vim? Aqui está a razão. Muitos comandos podem ser usados seguindo um formato geral:

<posição de inicio><comando><posição final>

Por exemplo: 0y$ significa:
0 - vai para o começo dessa linha
y - copie daqui
$ - até o final desta linha
Nós tambem podemos fazer coisas como ye, copie daqui até o final da palavra. Tambem podemos fazer y2/foo copie até a segunda ocorrencia de "foo".
Mas se foi possivel com y (copiar), é tambem possivel com d (deletar), v (seleção visual), gU (maiuscula), gu (minuscula), etc…
Nivel 4 - Super poderes com vim
Com todos os comandos anteriores voce ja deve se sentir confortavel com o vim. Mas agora, aqui estao as features realmente maneiras. Algumas dessas features foram a razão pra eu começar a usar o vim.
mover-se na linha corrente: 0, ^, $, g_, f, F, t, T, ,(virgula), ;

0 - Vai para a coluna 0
^ - Vai para o primeiro caracter da linha
$ - vai para a ultima coluna
g_ - Vai para o ultimo caracter da linha
fa - Vai para a proxima ocorrencia da letra a na linha. , (resp ;) irá para a ocorrencia anterior da busca (resp proxima).
t, - Vai para o caracter anterior a primeira ocorrencia de ,
3fa - Vai procurar a terceira ocorrencia da letra a
F e T - Parecido com f e t, porem procura pra tras

Uma dica muito util é :dt" que irá remover tudo antes de ".
Seleção por zona <ação>a<objeto> ou <ação>i<objeto>
Esses comandos só podem ser usados depois de uma operação no modo Visual. Mas eles são muito poderosos.
<ação>a<objeto> ou <ação>i<objeto>
Onde ação pode ser qualquer ação, por exemplo, d (delete), y (copiar), v (selecionar no modo Visual). E um objeto pode ser: w uma palavra, Wuma PALAVRA(palavra extendida), s uma sentença e p um paragrafo. Mas tambem pode ser um caracter natural como ", '', ), }, ].
Digamos que o cursor esteja no primeiro o de (map (+) ("foo")).

vi" - irá selecionar foo.
va" - irá selecionar "foo".
vi) - irá selecionar "foo".
va) - irá selecionar ("foo").
v2i) - irá selecionar map (+) ("foo").
v2a) - irá selecionar (map (+) ("foo")).

Selecionas blocos retangulares <C-v>.
Blocos retangularss são muito uteis para comentar muitas linhas de código. Tipicamente: ^<C-v><C-d>I-- [ESC]

^ - vai para o inicio da linha
<C-v> - inicia a seleção por blocos
<C-d> - move para baixo (como jjj or %, etc… )
I-- [ESC] - escreve — para comentar cada linha

Note que no Windows voce poderá ter que usar <C-q> ao inves de <C-v> se seu clipboard nao estiver vazio.
Completar: <C-n> e <C-p>.
No modo de Inserção, digite no inicio de uma palavra, e entao digite <C-p>, magicamente…

Macros: qa faça alguma coisa q, @a, @@
qa vai gravar suas açoes num registrador a. Entao @a irá refazer a macro salva no registrador a como se voce tivesse feito isso na mão. @@ é um atalho para refazer a ultima macro executada.

Exemplo
Numa linha que contem o numero 1, digite isso:
qaYp<C-a>q
qa - começa a gravar
Yp - duplica esta linha
<C-a> - incrementa um numero
q - para a gravaçao

@a - escreverá 2 abaixo do 1
@@ - escreverá 3 abaixo do 2
Agora faça 100@@ e criará uma lista de numeros até 103.

Seleção Visual: v, V, <C-v>
Vimos um exemplo com <C-v>. Há tambem v e V. Uma vez que a seleçao foi feita, voce pode:

J - juntar todas as linhas.
< (resp. >) - indentar para a esquerda (resp. para a direita).
= - auto indentação

Adicione alguma coisa no fim das linhas selecionadas:

<C-v>
vá para a linha desejada (jjj ou <C-d> ou /padrao ou % etc…)
$ vá para o fina da linha
A, escreva alguma coisa, [ESC]

Splits: :split e :vsplit.
Aqui estao os comandos principais, mas voce pode olhar mais em :help split.

:split - irá criar um split (:vsplit criará um split vertical).
<C-w><dir> - onde dir é qualquer um de hjkl para mudar de split.
<C-w>_ (resp. <C-w>|) - maximiza o tamanho do split (resp. split vertical).
<C-w>+ (resp. <C-w>-) - Aumenta (resp. diminui) o split.

Conclusao
Aqui estao 90% dos comandos que eu uso todos os dias. Eu sugiro que voce aprenda nao mais que 1 ou 2 comandos por dia. Depois de duas ou tres semanas voce começará a sentir o poder do vim nas suas mãos.
Aprender Vim é mais uma questao de treinamento que de memorização. Felizmente vim vem com otimas ferramentas e uma execelente documentação. Rodevimtutor para voce se familiarizar com os comandos basicos. Alem disso voce deve ler atentamente está pagina: :help usr_02.txt.
Entao, voce aprenderá sobre !, folds, registradores, os plugins e muitas outras features. Aprender vim é como se estivesse aprendendo piano e tudo ficará bem.
Fim do post
Agora que voce ja sabe vim, use-o da maneira correta. Esqueça seu mouse, Ctrl-c + Ctrl+v, use as features do vim, se forçe a usa-las, eu garanto que depois que voce se sentir confortavel, vai voar.
Qualquer duvida e/ou critica podem deixar nos comentarios.
Até a proxima
OBS: Post totalmente editado no VIM, usando markdown.

UMKC professor charts 2019 homicides on his office door
With a year-long project, a local professor is helping put into perspective the number of homicides Kansas City, Missouri, experienced in 2019.
By: Taylor Hemness
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With a year-long project, a local professor is helping put into perspective the number of homicides Kansas City, Missouri, experienced in 2019.
By the time 2019 ended, the city had reported 148 homicides.
Dr. Ken Novak at the University of Missouri-Kansas City can't close the door on that so easily, after working all year to keep track of Kansas City's most violent statistic.
"Over time, I fear that it may have become a little bit numb to most people," Novak said.
Dr. Novak teaches criminal justice. His door is covered in Post-it Notes. Each one has the name, date, and location of a Kansas City homicide victim from 2019. The colors represent the way the person was killed, and orange, the overwhelming color on the door, represents death by gun.
"Giving each Post-it Note a name, because each victim has a name, I think was an incredibly important thing to focus on, rather than the offenders," Novak said.
Names like Post-it Note number 90 on his door, representing eight-year-old Brian Bartlett, killed while he was sleeping when his home was strafed with bullets in August.
"Completely innocent victim," Novak said.
Or number 149, Renita Thompson, who was missing for a week before her body was found days before Christmas. The yellow color of her note means police haven't said how she died.
Once you know what the notes are, Novak's door is jarring, and he says it's started important conversations with the students and faculty that pass it every day.
But there's an unseen number that is even more heart-breaking.
"How many years of life were lost in Kansas City," Novak said.
Dr. Novak used an average life span of 70 years old to calculate the birthdays, anniversaries, and moments that Kansas City will never get back.
"When you add that all up, it adds up being over 5,200 years of life lost in Kansas City due to homicide in one year," Novak said. "That's hard for me to wrap my head around."
And that's why, even as the door opens on 2020, the names of 2019 are still there.
Dr. Novak's numbers were different than KCPD in part because he also counted officer-involved shootings. He says he's not certain yet if he will continue tracking homicides that way in 2020.


Well it was that time again, the time when my girls were due to get a good old pedicure, well in reality they were getting their feet trimmed. I had arranged for Robert and Mandy from Yorkshire Foot Trimmers to come over from West Yorkshire to take care of the task for me. The weather wasn't great and although it could've been much worse, I hadn't picked a nice day for it at all, as it was thick fog! I had already got the cattle into the pen ahead of them arriving and so once the trailer, gates and crush were all set up and in place, we were ready to get on with the job.
That's when I found out that all the confidence I thought I had with the cattle, wasn't quite where it should've been. When you are in a small pen with the four of them, hoping to goodness that you aren't going to get a horn up your rear, get kicked in the shins, or squished against the fence, it does take a great deal of courage to control them. So what we needed to do was once again get the cattle down the race, through a couple of gates and into the crush, which was sitting alongside the trailer. The thing is these cattle must get dizzy, the number of times I walk them through the same pen and race, round and round in circles I have taken them, so they get used to it. Yet, when anyone comes to visit, you can always rely on them to play silly devils and react in a completely different way. So, today they decided to go round and round in circles, but only around the pen, which wasn't at all helpful. It didn't matter how much encouragement they were given, how much they were pushed and prodded, or how many treats they were tempted with, if they didn't fancy it, they were going nowhere! Eventually, Monica either saw sense or just got fed up getting dizzy and off she went, deciding that she was taking the lead and off she popped down the race and into the position, where she needed to be. The problem was that Lyndsey, in her wisdom, had followed very closely behind her and so we now needed to back her up a little and behind a gate into a separate area. Now I don't know if you know, but reversing a moody cow through a couple of gates and back down a race, isn't the easiest of challenges, but we managed it. Before long, Monica was all strapped into the crush and was being lifted onto her side, on the back of the trailer. Whilst on her side she was able to relax, as much as a cow can in this alien environment, and the work could be completed safely on her feet. Their feet are in good condition, but you just need to keep on top of it so that they are looked after and kept healthy.
It's great to see Robert and Mandy in action, it is a real skill and it's something I would never have even thought about in the past, trimming cow's feet, why would you do such a thing, but hey it's all part of the adventure. Before long they were back in the field. Things have definitely progressed for me though, since we arrived, because in the past I would have been sorely tempted to get the hoover out and give the field a once over, to clear up all those nasty nail clippings!


- It appears RAW Women's Champion Alexa Bliss is setting off Amazon Echo systems belonging to WWE fans.
As seen in this video from Cathy Kelley, Bliss' name triggers the device as it answers to the "Alexa" name as well.
- Below is the latest video blog from Eva Marie as she continues to expand her NEM fashion brand.


First: Download the new version of cufon-yui.js (current version is 1.09i).
Second: Add the following conditional statement into your site's header, before all Cufon.replace() calls. When this happens depends on your site's code, so please check your code.
To be on the safe side I am combining 1) and 2) – simply because I noticed that by only using one IE sometimes still refuses to render Cufón properly.
Aha! This is what was bugging our website.
not sure which conditional statement you are referring to..?
This worked perfectly on our site; thanks for sharing!
John Lalor is refering to the conditional statement in point two. There is no statement visible – at least not in IE8.
The conditional statement and IE compatible meta are not required.
Thank you so much! Your tips have not just sorted out my cufon problem, but have totally sorted the CSS issues I was having with that dastedly IE9. I am enternally grateful!
thanks! I couldnt figure out what was wrong- until now!
Thank you for this informative post ! It solved my problem !
I have managed to get all my text to show in IE9 now cheers but all my Headers are now very large and out of place. This is happening in Firefox also.
looks like your CSS might need editing.
Try changing (or applying) styles to the tags you want to have displayed in Cufon.
Thanks for that, it solved my problem!
geeezas, you are a lifesaver!!!!
you're a lifesaver!! it's 2.40am… and it's finally working properly!! thanks a lot!!!
Dude! You've rescued me from hours of tearing my hair out – much appreciated.
I was able to get it working in IE9 using Cufon v1.09 (not 1.09i) and just adding your step #2 conditional script.
I updated the download with the new version – thanks for your comment!
I did this and it worked (minus the updated version you have up there) Thanks a million!
Thanks for the fix – worth also noting that you can use Google Web Fonts!
Great article – real time saver – many thanks from my client and I.
Just one thing though. I applied all 3 steps but the font it ended up rendering was not the replacement font.
On a hunch I removed the 2nd step and bingo, she's a working again!
This works great. I followed the steps and I could solve my problem.
I'm trying this fix with an asp.net fix using a master page, but I can't get it working. Does the fix need to be applied against each page separately or can it work from within the master page?
Thanks this fixed my problem! It was the .js file for me.
This fixed my problem in just seconds. Thank you.
Great post! Thanks for sharing a few solutions. We're always chasing IE surprises.


Heat pump water heaters (HPWH) are electric appliances that heat water by absorbing heat from the air and moving it into a storage tank, as opposed to generating heat through burning fossil fuels or resistance heating.
A heat pump water heater is very much like a refrigerator running in reverse: instead of pushing heat out of the inside of the refrigerator into its surroundings, a heat pump water heater absorbs heat from surrounding air to heat water.
Since it takes far less energy to move heat than it does to create heat, heat pump water heaters are much more efficient than conventional water heaters: heat pump water heaters offer 250-300+% water heating efficiency compared to 60-70% for fossil fuel storage water heaters and 90-95% for traditional electric water heaters.
Heat pump water heaters heat water slowly over the course of the day and typically have a backup electric heating element to help speed up water heating during periods of high hot water demand.
Unlike air source and geothermal heat pumps, there are a more limited number of options for heat pump water heaters. HeatSmart CNY installers are offering a few sizes of heat pump water heaters depending on your building's hot water demand.
In general, 50-gallon heat pump water heaters are well-suited for households of 2 or maybe 3 occupants. Households with 4 or more occupants will typically need a 80-gallon heat pump water heater.
A few models are more similar to air source heat pumps with an outdoor unit that uses heat in the outdoor air to heat water, though these models are not being offered by HeatSmart CNY installers.
What are the benefits of installing a heat pump water heater?
Energy savings. If you heat with an electric, propane, or oil water heater (storage, on-demand/tankless, or combined with a boiler), you could save a couple hundred dollars a year on your water heating bill with a heat pump water heater, depending on how much hot water you currently use.
Dehumidification. Humidity can be an issue in many basements in Central New York. Heat pump water heaters dehumidify the space they're installed in, significantly reducing the need to run your dehumidifier.
Are there drawbacks to using a heat pump water heater?
Higher upfront cost. A heat pump water heater will cost more to install than a conventional water heater (~$1,000+). However, a $300 rebate from National Grid (if applicable) will help to reduce this added cost—and energy savings will pay for the added cost.
Noise. A heat pump water heater will be noisier than a typical water heater since the heat pump elements are located indoors. Heat pump water heaters typically make less noise than a window air conditioner and more than a refrigerator. Speak with your installer if you are sensitive to noise and vibrations to learn about your options.
Cooling effect. Heat pump water heaters extract heat from the surrounding air, cooling off whatever room it's in. If you install a heat pump water heater in a finished (heated) space, it will cool off the room and lead to a slight increase in space heating usage. If you install a heat pump water heater in an unfinished space, it will keep the space fairly cool year-round with lower impacts on space heating usage. In general the energy savings from a heat pump water heater will significantly outweigh any increases in space heating—and the added cooling and dehumidification may be valuable in the summer.
Is a heat pump water heat right for me?
There are two primary factors as to whether a heat pump water heater could be a good fit for your needs.
Do you have a partially-finished or unfinished basement with enough clearance and airflow? Heat pump water heaters are taller than conventional storage tanks and need to be placed in rooms with at least 750 cubic feet of space (not mechanical closets) to ensure there is sufficient air flow for the water to be heated efficiently. Additionally, they should be placed in unconditioned or semi-conditioned (not directly heated) spaces to minimize the amount of heat the heat pump water heater uses that needs to be replaced by your heating system. If you have enough space next to your boiler or furnace (if you have one), a heat pump water heater will be able to take advantage of some of the waste heat generated.
Do you use an electric resistance, oil, or propane water heater? A heat pump water heater could be an excellent investment for you if you are currently using a non-gas water heater, regardless of whether it is a storage tank, an on-demand/tankless system, or combined with your boiler. In general, most water heaters last 10-12 years, so if your water heater is approaching end of useful lifetime, consider replacing it with a high-efficiency model before it starts leaking.
A free site visit from one of the HeatSmart CNY installers can help you figure out whether a heat pump water heater is right for you.
How much can I save with a heat pump water heater?
How much you'll save will depend on a number of factors, including how much hot water you use, what your existing hot water heater and fuel type are, and where your heat pump water heater is located in your home.
A typical family of 4 will use approximately 70 gallons of hot water per day, based on estimates by New York State. The chart below shows estimated annual hot water heating bills for this typical family depending on heating fuel used.

Q: How to read a pom.xml and get 'artifactId' in Grunt How we can read a pom.xml and get the 'artifactId' 'groupId' etc in the GruntFile.js.
'xml-parser'- I saw in the NPM but how can I use that in GruntFile.js , Anyone has any example . I am very new to Grunt .
Thanks for your advise.

A: Search npm registry for XML parser
var fs = require('fs');
var parse = require('xml-parser');
var xml = fs.readFileSync('example.xml', 'utf8');
var obj = parse(xml);

obj is your parsed xml

A: The best way is to use 'pom-parser' (https://github.com/intuit/node-pom-parser)
Install the package:
npm install --save node-pom-parser

then, in the grunt file
var ext = require('pom-parser');
var pom = ext.parsePom({ filePath: "pom.xml"});

var artifactId = pom.artifactId;
console.log(artifactId)
module.exports = function(grunt) {
//GRUNT ....
}

But it won't work in Windows. https://github.com/marcellodesales/node-pom-parser/issues/1
UPDATE: pom-parser has been refactored and is now compatible with Windows (see resolution on linked issue).

There's no doubt about it
It was the Myth of Fingerprints,
I've seen 'em all
And, man, they're all the same. — Paul Simon
I call him Sarge. I see him every day in his loose-fitting Army jacket, holding his sign, "Homeless–Need Help" and eyeing the cars stopped at the light. He stands at the bottom of the exit ramp, where I wait to make a left, our mutual discomfort obvious when we catch each other's stares through my windshield.
It seems to come as a relief to both of us when the light finally turns green and I can drive on, toward home. Where he goes, later in the night, I have no idea.
Over the past months, I've noticed a strange phenomenon. So much a fixture at my exit ramp, like the traffic light itself, Sarge seems unchanging. The same jacket, same hand-painted sign, same baleful expression. It's I who change, sometimes daily.
Some days, for example, I feel sorry for him, and hand him a couple of dollars through the window. He's a tragic figure, and I'm the lucky one, with a job and a home, a position in society. There but for the grace of God go I, etc.
Other days I see his forlorn countenance in a broader context: Sarge-as-victim, a Vietnam vet who fought in an unpopular war and returned to an ungrateful nation. Now homeless, friendless, he's dropped through the cracks of a woefully inadequate social welfare system, whose very foundations were further dismantled during the Reagan years. I sit behind the wheel, engulfed by liberal guilt, lamenting the failed promise of the 60's and my own yuppie-like complacency.
But then there are other times…like when I'm coming home from a long, hard day at work. I feel stressed-out, unappreciated and generally pretty sorry for myself.
On these days, as I pull up to the light and Sarge holds up his sign, I don't see a victim of ill fortune or an uncaring society. I see a bum who ought to get a job, earn a living like I have to. I actually hear the words forming in my head, Ya know if this guy really wanted a job, he could get one…
No question about it, people like Sarge are like projective tests for the rest of us. Whether they inspire pity, guilt, or outrage, our reactions to the homeless say volumes about us and practically nothing about them.
That's why most of our political responses to the problems of the disenfranchised–the homeless, the urban poor, those we label mentally ill–don't work. We propose solutions as though we actually see these problems clearly (and thus know how to deal with them), when in fact our own experiences and beliefs color our perceptions.
To a conservative Republican, the less fortunate among us lack initiative, or a sense of personal responsibility. To a liberal Democrat, social programs are necessary to level the playing field for those economically, racially or educationally disadvantaged. (To a Christian fundamentalist, I suppose, the poor suffer as a result of Manifest Destiny; i.e., if they'd been graced by God in the first place, these troubles wouldn't be happening to them.)
No matter what end of the spectrum one theorizes from, however, the observational stance is the same: the poor and homeless are the other. Other than me. Other and apart.
Paul Simon in a song from the Graceland album, calls this perceived separation between people "The Myth of Fingerprints." If so, it's a powerful one, as recent political events have shown. From the victory of California's anti-immigrant initiative, symbolic of the polarizing sweep of the November elections, to the publication of the Bell Curve (which proposes a kind of caste system based on IQ), to the latest terrorist bombing in the Middle East…from the misguided to the truly monstrous, our tendency is to label, demonize and even destroy those that are different.
But what if, at a deeper level, there was no difference at all? Religion and philosophy, stripped of dogma, have emphasized this possibility for eons. Jesus said, "What you do for the least among you, you do for me." The Buddha's salient illumination was that "All are one," Emerson writes of the Over-Soul, formed of all of us.
From many cultures and times, people have intuitively grasped this transcendent perspective. Martin Buber writes, "When I encounter a human being, it is no longer He or She, a dot in the world grid of space and time, a loose bundle of named qualities…he is You and fills the firmament…"
All are one, therefore all are in God, and of God. In most of the world's mystical traditions, to believe otherwise is a delusion. The Myth of Fingerprints.
But people are different, we insist, with different traits, some good and some bad. To which the late Zen master Shunryu Suzuki responded by suggesting the metaphor of a river, going over a waterfall. The cascading water separates into a million distinct drops–each droplet different, yet sharing the same properties of water (just as human beings have different feelings and personalities, while sharing the same basic properties). In Suzuki's analogy, as the drops of water return to their natural state of oneness in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall, so too do we find our true nature in an awareness of our Oneness with all things.
A sublime, profoundly simple image. Perhaps too simple. Can we make such a leap?
