Roadway Project Expected to Ease Traffic Congestion in Pompano Beach
City officials in Pompano Beach have responded to backlash over streetscape improvements on the Atlantic Boulevard/Dixie Highway corridor that have left motorists sitting in traffic longer than usual. An already 'difficult' commute on one of South Florida's busiest roadways has become a nightmare for many residents in recent weeks, but this will hopefully soon change.
Roadway project revised
The Pompano Beach roadway project – part of a city-approved plan to create a new pedestrian-friendly downtown and foster economic growth – has been fine-tuned to relieve the current gridlock that commuters are facing.
According to officials, a number of changes were made to improve road safety and relieve the bulk of congestion.
Key measures include:
Optimizing the timing of traffic lights
The left-turn lanes on westbound Atlantic Boulevard were lengthened to keep vehicles from blocking through-traffic.
The intersection at Atlantic Boulevard and NE/SW First Avenue now allows right turns only
The most recent studies on the revised roadway project indicate that it will add roughly two minutes of additional travel time for westbound traffic on Atlantic Boulevard between 4pm-6pm, and 30 seconds for those traveling westbound at the other hours of the day. Eastbound commuters should not experience any traffic delays.
Experts hope the fine-tuning will address the most critical problem: the congestion of westbound motorists on Atlantic Boulevard from Cypress Road to Dixie Highway during peak rush hours.
Creating a new gateway to Pompano Beach
The transformation of the Atlantic Boulevard and Dixie Highway corridor is part of a larger plan to attract more business to downtown Pompano Beach, while fostering connectivity. The city plans on creating broad sidewalks and medians, better crosswalks, and using the landscape to act as a buffer between vehicles and pedestrians. There will be designated areas for bicyclists and efforts to enhance safety for all modes of transportation and prevent traffic accidents.
Improving safety for motorists and pedestrians
Traffic engineer and city consultant Joaquin Vargas says the roadway project should prevent speeding on this busy corridor and create a safer environment for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
According to data from the Florida Department of Transportation, this section of Atlantic Boulevard has five times more collisions than the standard for similar roads in the Sunshine State. County reports show that accidents between Cypress Road and Dixie Highway tend to be particularly violent, often leading to serious injury or death.
Kogan & DiSalvo applaud any initiatives that aim to reduce traffic back-ups in this busy area, and improve roadway safety. For legal guidance after any type of car accident that results in injury, please reach out for a free and confidential case evaluation.

Q: The integral $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\cot^{-1}\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx =\frac{\pi}{2}\ln (1+\sqrt{2})$ At Mathematica the numerical value of the integral
$$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\cot^{-1}\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} dx$$
equals 1.3844.., which is nothing but $\frac{\pi}{2}\ln (1+\sqrt{2})=z$. Also, one of its transformed forms is evaluated to be  $z$ by Mathematica. The question is: How to do it by hand?

A: Consider the following integral:
$$I(a)=\int_0^\infty \frac{\operatorname{arccot}(a\sqrt{1+x^2})}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx\Rightarrow I'(a)=-\int_0^\infty \frac{1}{1+a^2+a^2x^2}dx$$
$$=-\frac{1}{a\sqrt{1+a^2}}\arctan\left(\frac{ax}{\sqrt{1+a^2}}\right)\bigg|_0^\infty=-\frac{\pi}{2}\frac{1}{a\sqrt{1+a^2}} $$
Since $I(\infty)=0$ and we are looking for $I(1)$ we have:
$$I(1)=-(I(\infty)-I(1))=\frac{\pi}{2}\int_1^\infty \frac{1}{a\sqrt{1+a^2}}da\overset{a=\frac{1}{x}}=\frac{\pi}{2}\int_0^1 \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx$$
$$\Rightarrow \boxed{\int_0^\infty \frac{\operatorname{arccot}(\sqrt{1+x^2})}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx=\frac{\pi}{2}\ln(1+\sqrt 2)}$$

A: Let
$$I=\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\cot^{-1}\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx =\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\tan^{-1}(1/\sqrt{(1+x^2})}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} dx$$
Let us use the integral representation of $$\frac{\tan^{-1}(1/\sqrt{1+x^2})}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}=\int_{0}^{1} \frac{dt}{1+x^2+t^2}$$
$$I=\int_{0}^{\infty} \int_{0}^{1} \frac {dt dx}{1+x^2+t^2}=\int_{0}^{1}\frac{dt}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} \tan^{-1} \left.\frac{x}{\sqrt{1+t^2}}\right|_{0}^{\infty} =\frac{\pi}{2} \ln (1+\sqrt{2}).$$

A: Here we will address your integral:
\begin{equation}
I = \int_0^\infty \frac{\cot^{-1}\left(\sqrt{1 + x^2} \right)}{\sqrt{1 + x^2}}\:dx
\end{equation}
We first let $x = \tan(s)$:
\begin{align}
I &= \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{\cot^{-1}\left(\sqrt{1 + \tan^2(s)} \right)}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^2(s)}}\cdot \sec^2(s)\:ds = \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2} \sec(s)\cot^{-1}\left(\sec(s)\right)\:ds \nonumber \\
&= \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{\arctan\left(\cos(s)\right)}{\cos(s)}\:ds
\end{align}
Here I will now employ Feynman's Trick and introduce the following function:
\begin{equation}
J(t) = \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{\arctan(t\cos(s))}{\cos(s)}\:ds
\end{equation}
Here $I = J(1)$ and $J(0) = 0$. ,By Leibniz's Integral Rule we now differentiate under the curve with respect to $t$:
\begin{align}
J'(t) &= \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2} \frac{1}{t^2\cos^2(s) + 1}\cdot \cos(s) \cdot \frac{1}{\cos(s)}\:ds = \int_0^\frac{\pi}{2}\frac{1}{t^2\cos^2(s) + 1}\:ds \nonumber \\
&= \left[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{t^2 + 1}}\arctan\left(\frac{\tan(s)}{\sqrt{t^2 + 1}}\right) \right]_0^\frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{t^2 + 1}}
\end{align}
Thus,
\begin{equation}
J(t) = \frac{\pi}{2} \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{t^2 + 1}}\:dt = \frac{\pi}{2}\sinh^{-1}(t) + C
\end{equation}
Where $C$ is the constant of integration. To resolve $C$ we use our condition $J(0) = 0$:
\begin{equation}
J(0) = 0 = \frac{\pi}{2}\sinh^{-1}(0) + C \rightarrow C = 0
\end{equation}
Thus,
\begin{equation}
 J(t) = \frac{\pi}{2}\sinh^{-1}(t)
\end{equation}
We now may resolve $I$
\begin{equation}
I = J(1) = \frac{\pi}{2}\sinh^{-1}(1)
\end{equation}
Noting that
\begin{equation}
 \sinh^{-1}(t) = \ln\left|t + \sqrt{t^2 + 1}\right|
\end{equation}
We see that another representation for $I$ is given by:
\begin{equation}
I = \frac{\pi}{2}\ln(1 + \sqrt{2})
\end{equation}

A: Let $t=1/\sqrt{1+x^2}$, then
$$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\cot^{-1}\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx =\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\arctan(t)}{t\sqrt{1-t^2}}\, dt$$
Now the result follows from Definite integral $\int_0^1 \frac{\arctan x}{x\,\sqrt{1-x^2}}\,\text{d}x$ where several approaches are provided.

Are you sending a loved one off to summer camp this summer? There's a lot you'll have to prepare for — and unfortunately, bed bugs are on the list. Most summer camps host large groups of kids from all over the country, and many have crowded living quarters and sparse modern amenities. While these conditions can lead to a number of great experiences for kids, they can also create the perfect breeding ground for bed bugs.
In this guide, our PrevSol Bed Bug Heat Doctor professionals will tell you everything you need to know about preparing for bed bugs ahead of summer camp this reason. In addition to providing expert tips, tricks, and resources, we'll also provide information on our new line of bed bug sprays and other anti-bed bug products ideal for campers and travelers. Read on to learn more, and shop with our trusted team today!
Bed bugs are tiny arachnids that feed on human blood. In settings such as a summer camp, where a relatively large number of people are located within a relatively small space such as a cabin or dorm, bed bugs can easily crawl from human host to human host. Though most people show signs of bed bug bites, certain individuals will not display symptoms of bed bug bites on their bodies at all. The best way to tell if you have an infestation to look for bed bugs themselves.
Though bed bugs are quite small (3 – 5 millimeters in length and 1 – 3 millimeters in width), they can easily be seen with the naked eye. Bed bugs are usually brown or red in color, and have a small flat and oval shape, and have no hind wings. Even bed bug eggs, which are translucent and scarcely larger than a pinhead, can be spotted upon close inspection — provided you know where to look.
As bed bugs feed on human blood, they are found in living locations close to human beings. While bedding is perhaps the most common spot for bed bugs to live, they can also be found in carpets, clothing racks and chests, furniture, shoes, and other belongings. While at camp, it's best to vacuum and sweep as often as possible. It's also a good idea to pick up clutter like clothes, toys, papers, garbage and other debris. Doing so will greatly reduce the chances of bed bugs settling into the camp space.
Bed bugs can survive in hot and cold weather, as well as dry and humid climates. They are notorious hitchhikers, and can easily attach themselves to jackets or luggage. In the summer camp setting, this means that campers can bring bed bugs in from virtually every corner of the world, no matter how far away.
Bed bugs' hitchhiking capabilities don't only serve as a means of traveling into camp. Indeed, the worst danger of bed bugs at summer camp is that they can easily hitch rides into camper's luggage, clothing and other items. In the right conditions, bed bugs can travel all the way home with campers, leading to infestations in houses and apartments.
To prevent bed bugs from getting into your camper's property, we recommend taking several packing precautions. First, it's important to use washable luggage, like a backpack or a cloth duffel bag. These can be washed immediately at the end of camp to prevent the spread of bed bugs. You can also look into bed bug-proof luggage from our industry-leading inventory here at PrevSol Bed Bug Heat Doctor. For added protection, you can use plastic bags to store your belongings and spray the outside of your luggage and other possessions to keep bed bugs away. At PrevSol Bed Bug Heat Doctor, we have the perfect products for you. Learn more in the following section.
In addition to our specially-tailored anti-bed bug luggage, our team here at PrevSol Bed Bug Heat Doctor is proud to offer a full line of anti-bed bug sprays ideal for use at summer camp and other away-from-home settings. Our sprays are specially-formulated to kill bed bugs on contact and can repel both adult bed bugs and nymphs. Plus, they're available in a number of sizes, including 3 oz. spritzers for travelers on the go, 1.7 oz. hand sanitizers great for purses and lunch bags, and 32 oz. spray bottles, perfect for camp.

Years ago — let's just say, many years ago, I purchased a set of dishes for my husband. We were dating at the time and he was moving out of his roommates' apartment to a place that would be closer to a new job.
We were not living together, or even close to a wedding day. Still, he needed me to help him out, gave me money and asked me to buy some kitchen essentials for him.
I gave little thought to my purchases. I bought him a couple of wooden spoons, bowls, glasses and utensils. And I figured the eight place settings of powder blue Corelle Dinnerwear would be satisfactory. It wasn't like I would have to look at it the rest of my life, right?
Had I known that I would still be using those dishes nearly 30 years later, I suppose I would have applied greater care to this purchase.
Every year I promise myself that I will ditch the dishes in favor of something new.
The problem? I have long passed the time for disdain and am firmly settled in an era of nostalgia.
How can I get rid of the dishes now? Now that they have seen my family and friends through so many meals and moments?
It recalls for me the time I noticed in August that my holiday collection of dishes was still displayed in my dining room hutch. Halfway to Christmas? Leave the plates there, I reasoned.
Time has a funny way of not just us moving along, but of shifting our perspective. When exactly did my view of my surroundings change from welcoming the "new" to holding onto the "old" with wistful melancholy?
Growing stagnant in this way can be a worrisome trend for a writer, considering that writing is meant to be a constant evolution of growth.
When I find myself in this writing lull, I have found the best course is to resist the urge to settle.
Has your work grown stagnant? Keep yourself moving — read, network, write and write some more. Stay on top of current affairs. Make it your business to know which authors are sitting on the bestseller's list. Figure out why they're there.
Step out from behind your desk. Seek new experiences. Go to places you'd not normally visit — museums, rodeos, church. Strike up conversations with strangers. Reject old, tired ideas.
What do you do to fend off the "old" and embrace the "new"? Tell us in the comments section below.

Migrants regroup in Mexico, decide to press on to U.S.
About 2,000 Central American migrants who circumvented Mexican police at a border bridge and swam, forded and floated across the river from Guatemala decided to re-form their mass caravan Saturday and continue their trek northward toward the United States.
Gathered at a park in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Hidalgo, the migrants voted by a show of hands and then marched to the bridge to urge those still there to cross the river and join them.
The group's decision capped a day in which Mexican authorities again refused mass entry to migrants on the bridge, instead accepting small groups for asylum processing and giving out 45-day visitor permits to some of them.
Mexico had sought to maintain order after a chaotic Friday in which thousands rushed across the bridge only to be halted by a phalanx of officers in riot gear. Authorities began handing out numbers for people to be processed in a strategy seen before at U.S. border posts when large numbers of migrants show up there.
"We don't yet know if we will make it to the (U.S.) border, but we are going to keep going as far as we can," said Rodrigo Abeja, one of the migrants' leaders, adding that they would strike out Sunday morning for the city of Tapachula.
Where at least 3,000 people were on the bridge Friday, the crowd thinned out considerably Saturday. In addition to those who crossed the river, immigration agents processed migrants in small groups and then bused them to a fairground in Tapachula, where the Red Cross set up small blue tents on the concrete floor.
Mexico's Interior Department said it had received 640 refugee requests by Hondurans at the border crossing.
The caravan elicited a series of angry tweets and warnings from President Trump last week, and he warned the migrants that they should turn back.
"They're not coming into this country," said Trump, who has sought to make the caravan and border security in general a campaign issue for Republicans ahead of the U.S. midterm elections.

When Beijing gold medalist Phil Dalhausser teamed up with Nick Lucena less than one year ago for a longshot run at the Olympics, it was more out of friendship — and a lack of alternatives — than anything else.
Dalhausser was coming off two straight seasons with injuries. Lucena had never been to the Olympics, struggling to find a partnership that worked.
"We were playing with the house's money," Dalhausser said Monday after losing in three sets to Brazilian world champions Alison and Bruno in the quarterfinals on Copacabana beach.


So I've let Tom talk a lot about how he feels about the various issues, and I suppose my strategy was that doing so would speak for itself with regard to why I'm supporting him for Mayor.
However, as I was wrapping up my archive of his interview, I came across this clip (5 MB) of him explaining in more detail about the six million dollar renewable federal grant he was able to obtain from the Shrub Administration.
1. His ability to work within the system to accomplish results, even if the people running "the system" are questionable, to say the least.
3. His ingenuity in coming up with something like a renewable grant that can continue to bring money into the city to help the less fortunate, rather than come up with strategies that will actually cost the city over $900,000 and give police unprecedented power to arrest people for literally doing nothing.
The words below came after our discussion of Prop M (2 MB).
Tom: "...like my ability to get six million bucks from the Bush government two weeks ago, so we could have supportive housing and services for the mentally ill and homeless. Now that's real, and that's happening as we speak."
Lisa: "Right. I actually wanted to ask you more about that, because you brought that up in the debate. (6 MB) After a Judge sort of threw out "Care Not Cash" that you were able to get some money to actually build some housing? Could you talk some more about that?"
Tom: "Yeah. It's not for "building housing," actually, but I understand why people think that. I mean it could eventually. But it's six million bucks of support from HUD, which is Bush, and I actually worked with Mayor Willy Brown.
See, because, what Gavin has not been able to do is take the partisanship out of the issue. And I'm willing to sit down with whomever and even compromise, so that we come up with real solutions. So it's six million bucks from HUD for supportive housing and direct services."
"So you take a hotel that's there already and you rehab it. And we've done this, but only for a very tiny amount of people. You rehab it and provide the room, which is housing, particularly for the mentally ill and people who have been ill and homeless on our streets for over a year. That's about 2,000 of them -- even if "Care Not Cash" was something that could work, it wouldn't affect these people, because they're mostly under SSI and Federal programs -- and then provides all the services right there in that facility. And we've already started in the Bay View little Ramada Inn there, has been rehabed. A woman named "Mother Brown" is actually the recipient of some of this money. And the rooms are full already with the services being provided and we're going to expand that so we can meet the needs of 1,000 or more people that are on our streets. And this is a renewable grant. That's the beauty of it. So, with our success that we're proving this year, we have a really great shot at getting that six million next year as well. So that, again, that's real."

Nicholson Barracks
Nicholson Barracks were named after Field Marshal William Gustavus Nicholson, 1st Baron Nicholson, and were located on a main road into Mönchengladbach, just off the A52 Autobahn. They formed part of the larger Rheindahlen BOAR complex, with the barracks located about 15 kilometres north-east of JHQ. The complex is large, with 24 buildings, including living quarters and military garages.
The 3 Army Field Survey Depot of the British Army moved into Nicholson Barracks in 1955, having originally been based at Richmond Barracks in Bielefeld. Their task was to produce maps and overprints of enemy defence, as well as engage in various intelligence gathering activities. The division were well connected and subordinate to Joint Headquarters, which was located in the southwest of the same town, Mönchengladbach.
The British army left the barracks in 1995, handing the property back to the German authorities. Following the British departure, the Heeresunterstützungskommando – an army support command of the German military – moved to the vacant Nicholson Barracks. The barracks were at this point renamed, from Nicholson Barracks to the Niederrhein-kaserne.
The Heeresunterstützungskommando remained at the Niederrhein-kaserne until the year 2000, at which point they relocated to a barracks in Koblenz. Since then, the barracks have remain empty, and have succumbed to graffiti and metal theft.
In 2004, a property developer bought the old barracks, with plans to convert the buildings into casinos and sex shops – out of town debauchery, just off the A52 Autobahn. The plans were rejected, and the buildings remained empty, falling into an even greater state of disrepair.
More recently, there have been reports that a nearby company which rears and trains police dogs are interested in using the site as a training ground for the dogs. But there are no other prospective buyers, and the long-term future of the barracks remains uncertain. So, as of 2016, the barracks are still abandoned. A few of the buildings have suffered from irreversible decay, with, for example, collapsed roofs. They will probably have to be demolished. But many of the remaining buildings – despite being covered in graffiti – are salvageable, should there be desire to do so.

Nintendo 3DS price dropping to $170
Nintendo is dropping the price of its latest handheld videogame system, the 3DS, to $169.99, as the device has failed so far to match the sales power of its predecessors -- the DS, DS Lite and DSi.
The drop from the 3DS launch price of $249.99 will go into effect Aug. 12, Nintendo said.
So, unless you like paying a higher price for the things you buy, it might be a good call to just wait until August for a 3DS purchase.
Nintendo said that in the United States, it has sold more than 830,000 of the 3DS -- which does not require 3-D glasses to play 3-D videogames and watch 3-D movies -- since its March 27 launch.
Those who have already bought a 3DS might not be too happy about the price drop so soon, which is why Nintendo is planning to give them a bit of a thank you gift.
"These Nintendo 3DS owners represent some of Nintendo's most loyal customers, and Nintendo is rewarding them for getting in on the action early with 20 free downloadable games from the Nintendo eShop," Nintendo said.
But there's a bit of a hitch.
The early adopters have to use "a wireless broadband Internet signal to connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Aug. 11" to get the free games, which Nintendo is calling its "Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program." Half the free games will be available in September, the other half by the end of the year.
Nintendo said Thursday that it has sold more than 4 million 3DS systems worldwide since the device launched in February in Japan.
Last year, Nintendo sold more than 27 million DS consoles.
"We feel the price change and several prominent software releases by the end of the year will definitely change the situation," Nintendo President Satoru Iwata told Reuters and other reporters in Osaka, Japan.
Iwata was referencing new high-profile titles for the 3DS set to launch this year, such as new Super Mario and Mario Kart games. So far, the biggest release has been a 3-D remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
News of the price drop also comes as Nintendo posted its first-ever quarterly operating loss, a loss of 37.7 billion yen, or about $48.4 million, on lower-than-expected sales of DS systems and the Wii home gaming console, Reuters said.

[column width="48%]2. After Battle Star Galactica, I never find equivalent sci-fi TV show. Yes, they could be little less interesting, but BSG is too high. Tried Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, but all failed. It's too old, and never serious. Stargate Universe is worth watching. Even though it's mix of Lost, Star Trek and BSG ((Actually Stargate itself is low-profile copy of Star Trek.)), it's serious. BUT! it's just first season. I'm at desk all day, and it took just a day. I need more supply.

The Plasma is a clone PCB for the Colorsound Overdriver and Power Boost, two nearly-identical circuits that serve different functions. The Power Boost came first, powered by two 9-volt batteries for 18v operation. It had a transistor-based Baxandall tonestack along with a gain control. While it would distort at incredibly high volumes, its primary purpose was to overdrive the amp. The Overdriver came later, having a couple of minor tweaks along with dropping the voltage down to 9 volts. The end result was that the Overdriver had less headroom and distorted at lower volumes.
The Plasma project allows you to build either an Overdriver or a Power Boost, with the incredibly useful mod of adding an output volume control. This way you can set the gain according to the tone you want without being tied to the volume that is produced along with it. It also has trimmers for each of the three transistors so that you can dial in the optimal bias.
The gain of the Overdriver can be "splatty" at medium gain levels as the notes decay. It works best at low gain as a clean boost with tone-shaping capabilities, or at high gain where it's not unlike a Big Muff. If you experience this splattiness, know that it's a byproduct of transistor-based distortion and you didn't do anything wrong!
Overdriver / Power Boost circuit history
The Power Boost was first released in 1970[1] by Sola Sound / Colorsound, the house brand of the Macari's music store on Charing Cross Road in London, who also created and marketed the Tone Bender variants (check out my Deimos and Phobos projects). It wasn't long before it found its way into the rigs of such legends as David Gilmour and Jeff Beck.
In 1971 the Power Boost was revised slightly, changing a few values and dropping the battery requirements down to a single 9v, and released as the Colorsound Overdriver. According to Macari's[2], this was done after taking the Power Boost to a trade show in the United States and getting a great deal of interest. They say that the Power Boost was just renamed and that it's otherwise the same circuit but for the power supply.
Since the schematics we have are obviously different, given this information from Macari's I might be tempted to conclude that the differences between the versions were just routine tweaks to what was basically the same circuit—in other words, the Overdriver is just the new name given to the final version of the Power Boost, and they did not see it as a new pedal with distinct schematics. This is supported by the fact that the Power Boost has at least two known variants, an early one and a later one, with a few different parts between them. Either way, I do give parts lists in my documentation for the three known variants: an early Power Boost, a later Power Boost and a standard Overdriver.
Back to the history… the one thing that was sorely lacking in all of the original Power Boosts and the Overdriver was a true volume control. People would use the gain knob to create the one they were looking for (the amount of grit) but usually the output volume would be enormous by that point. It took more than twenty years, but in 1996 a reissue Overdriver was created that incorporated a volume pot on the output.[3] The trick with this one, though, is that for some unknown reason they incorporated a 'minimum volume' resistor which prevented it from going to zero. (I've only ever seen this on one other pedal, the Ibanez SD-9 Sonic Distortion.) Because of this, at higher gain levels the circuit can't actually even get down to unity gain. As far as I know this minimum volume resistor is still in current reissues, but a common modification is to jumper this resistor so the volume can turn all the way down like a normal pedal. My project doesn't even have a space for this resistor because it serves absolutely no purpose.
Notes & references
Kit Rae's Fuzz and Muff Timeline. The release date is sometimes cited as 1968 or 1969, but according to Kit's research, "the Colorsound brand was not created and used by Sola Sound until 1970, the first ads appeared in 1970, and the preamp core of the circuit (likely where the design originated) appeared in a Mullard application book in April 1970." Contrast this with the Macari's website that says it was produced in 1968—probably the only way of determining this was to look at the pot codes of an original unit, but this doesn't mean the pedals were in stores that year, just that the pots were manufactured that year. Call me crazy, but I trust Kit Rae's date more for the reasons given. ↩

When it comes to shopping, technology has made everything at the same time easier and harder. On the upside, you are now able to search through a bunch of products from your own home using a computer. But on the downside, there's just so much to choose from, which more often than not just leaves you more confused than before. A running watch isn't just your normal day to day watch; it gives you so much more than just the time of the day. To make buying one easy for you, we have done all the ground work of finding some of the best running watches brands, and broken down some of the more interesting watches they offer. This review will save you a great deal of time when shopping for the perfect running watch.
TomTom has made a name for itself in the production of high quality products used in fields incorporating the latest technologies.
This watch is waterproof and can be used for swimming training. It also provides real time heart rates allowing you to make instant decisions.
This watch has a smaller display, making it hard to see your running stats at a glance.

Long life battery, allowing you to train for as long as you can. Additionally, it has smart mobile connections, allowing you to get notifications from any connected smart devices.
The watch doesn't provide weather and altitude information that could be important for navigation.
How Do I Choose the Best Running Watch?
There are plenty of exercises that can help us keep fit, but running is the simplest and generally the most preferred way to keep our health in check. So, if you fall into this category of people, and you're looking to take your daily training sessions to the next level, then a running watch is just what you need.
Why do you need a running watch? Although there are smartphone apps that can help you monitor your daily run sessions, a running watch delivers cutting-edge technology that seamlessly tracks your activities and analyzes your performance right on your wrist in real-time. And unlike a foot pod or fitness tracker that only keep track of distance travelled, these watches go a step further to even give you email, messages, and call notifications from paired smart devices, thus eliminating the need to carry your phone while running.
These watches perform some basic functions such as tracking your distance, speed, and burnt calories. They also boast of advanced features such as heart rate monitoring, interval session alerts, VO2 max, and even route tracking. There are those that offer you some memory storage for your music, allowing you to enjoy your favorite tunes from your running headphones.
If you're planning to start run workouts as a way to keep fit, a running watch will serve as a great source of motivation by giving you goals to achieve and notify you once you accomplish a milestone. However, if you're a professional such as a marathoner, this watch will be an excellent tool to record and analyze your running performance, helping you to improve your running form.
This guide will take you through the range of features and the various factors to consider while buying a running watch to ensure you get the one that suits you best.
Most of these watches are reasonably priced with prices ranging from $150 to $450, making it easy for those working on a budget to purchase. However, these prices may skyrocket depending on several factors.
Why the price difference? The pricier the watch you are looking to buy, the more advanced features are included, from multi-sport tracking to a built-in compass, vertical oscillation, and real time training. Highly priced watches come with displays large enough to show a map of your running route and include wireless syncing as well as an inbuilt battery that can last up to 50 hours operating in GPS mode.
So, how much should you spend on a watch? Determining how you would use it is vital to finding your watch. If you take part in other sports, and want to improve your performance and track your progress, consider buying an advanced wearable. However, if you want a basic companion to wear only while running, a cheap running watch will have all the features you'll need.
Virtually all features on a running watch are designed to improve and customize your training sessions; thus, it's paramount that you identify what features you really need. The following are important factors to look for when you're shopping for a running watch.
Battery life: You need to ensure that you get a watch with a good battery life. Most of them have a built-in rechargeable battery.
Weight: Consider purchasing a lightweight but compact running watch.
Display: Your wearable should have a large enough display that you can view with less straining while running.
Waterproof: Most devices typically have a depth rating of nearly 30 meters, which allows you to swim with your watch intact.
This guide will take you through some other factors to consider while buying a running watch to ensure you get the one that suits you best.
From our top list selection of running watches, it's evident that they all come with a sleek, lightweight design. Some even are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled to sync data to paired smart devices wirelessly. Another striking feature is the color touch screens, but they vary in size depending on the watch you choose; consider getting one with a large screen and a backlight for a better viewing experience in the sun.
Getting a running watch means you will also enjoy excellent battery life that can last nearly a month in typical use, and also a waterproof design making it safe for you to swim with. While these watches are usually more expensive, many brands offer their bestselling models both with and without a heart-rate monitor to cater to different budgets.
Most of these watches are able to sync with your phone, giving you easier access to your data and even smart notifications to alert you to texts, calls, and emails. The long battery life, waterproof design and a wide temperature range of operation reduces the chances of a running watch to fail during both hotter and colder conditions. The ability to monitor your heart-rate during exercises is one of the most essential features of any running watch.
What is the Best Running Watch?
The best running watch doesn't necessarily mean the most expensive or the one that has the most features, but instead one that fits all your individual needs, without forgetting your budget.

User generated web aggregation aka Russell Beattie is right again!
Essentially, it's becoming more and more work to separate signal from noise, and it never seems that everything you want to keep track of has a feed. I can't imagine what it must be like if your job is to parse news for a living. Imagine being an analyst for a bank and having to wade through the cruft you'd get in a news reader every day, not to mention the monthly publications, etc.
What I think is going to happen is that both browsers and aggregators services in the cloud are going to start enabling a lot more logic and customization. We see the start of it now with Grease Monkey scripts and browser plugins and extensions, but I think a next level of user-friendly artificial intelligence is needed. Applications that parses web pages, gathers content, displays it intelligently and economically and does it all without magic (which is generally always wrong), but as directed by your specific choices of what you think is good and bad. ScraperWiki is the first step towards this sort of thing, but really it's only just the beginning.
Anyways, a few years ago I decided that the mobile web as a separate entity was a dead end because of the quickly improving mobile browsers and it turns out I was pretty spot on. It never dawned on me that the same logic could be applied to web feeds because of things like quickly improving server-side parsers and bad user experiences, but now I'm seeing that it is. I personally still wouldn't launch a new site today without having a decent feed, but I bet it'll be a short time before I don't worry about it, and I bet there's a lot of other web developers that feel that way already.

False Flag, Syria Crisis, Terrorism
White Helmets stealing children for 'chemical attack' theater in Idlib
September 19, 2018 Geopolitics101	4 Comments
"Leave our children in peace. Let our children play, stop 'playing' with our children." These are the words of a mother whose child was stolen and is being imprisoned in Idlib by terrorist groups and the White Helmets.
by Vanessa Beeley
I met Wafaa at her home with her husband Mohammed Ibrahim and her two sons Hamza, 9, and Lotfe, 14. Both Wafaa and Mohammed are lawyers, they met while studying at the same university. Wafaa is strong, her expression is defiantly hopeful and optimistic despite fears for her kidnapped son, Ahmed, who is now 11.
"Ahmed was born mute, he couldn't speak," she told me. "I believe this is why he was taken from us, because he cannot protest or resist."
Ahmed was kidnapped by terrorist groups only 200 meters from his home one year ago. The location of their home will not be disclosed to protect the security of the family, but they know that Ahmed is now being held with other children in Idlib. The locations change regularly, according to information the family has received from friends and family still trapped inside Idlib.
On August 30, 2018, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem stated that the US Coalition-sponsored White Helmets had kidnapped 44 children in order to use them as 'props' in the staging of a chemical weapon attack in Idlib. The White Helmets have a history of providing the scenarios required to precipitate FUKUS aggression against Syria.
Their most recent chemical attack hoax attempt in Douma in April 2018 was proven unreliable by the OPCW interim report. Sensationalist suggestions of sarin use by the Syrian government during the last moments of the liberation of Douma from the murderous Jaysh al-Islam fanatics was dismissed by the findings in the report. The chlorinated elements detected in the samples taken by the OPCW could come from any manner of household items and no conclusions of chlorine use by the Syrian government have been drawn. Western media and their governments have ignored the findings of the OPCW and are once more preparing the ground for a "chemical attack" in Idlib to enable further unlawful aggression against Syria during the Arab Army's campaign to cleanse Idlib of the terrorist infestation.
Wafaa's greatest fear is that Ahmed will be used alongside other children as actors in such a staged chemical attack.
"I stopped working when Ahmed was taken from us. About six months ago, a friend came from Turkey to Idlib. As they were crossing the border between Syria and Turkey, they stopped to rest. Their son knows Ahmed very well. Ahmed has a particular way of communicating by making a sound that is very recognizable by those who know him. Their son heard Ahmed making this sound. He told his parents that Ahmed was close by," she said.
Wafaa's voice trembled as she described this identification of her son. At least he was alive. Shortly after the family were given this information, an alleged chlorine gas attack was carried out in Saraqib to the east of Idlib city. A recent OPCW report on this alleged incident concludes that:
"Chlorine, released from cylinders through mechanical impact, was likely used as a chemical weapon on 4 February 2018 in the Al Talil neighborhood of Saraqib."
However, the FFM (Fact-Finding Mission) was unable to enter Saraqib due to the risk of being executed or kidnapped by the "moderate" fanatics occupying the area. They instead relied entirely on "open-source" testimonies and evidence provided by compromised sources such as the White Helmets.
"Shortly after the Saraqib reports of a chemical attack, we received a phone call from the groups who were holding Ahmed. The man told me that the reason for kidnapping Ahmed was gone and that he would probably be returned soon," Wafaa informed me.
I asked her if they knew who was holding Ahmed captive.
"Shortly after Saraqib happened, some women who managed to leave Idlib came to me. They told me that Al-Nusra Front (Al-Qaeda in Syria) were in charge of the children and the White Helmets were helping them with this. When I reported it, the White Helmets accused me of being 'Shabiha.' This is a death sentence if you are caught by the armed groups."
Wafaa still has a sister in Idlib who is able to pass some information on to her directly or to people leaving Idlib via the Russian/Syrian established humanitarian corridors, which evacuate civilians to safety ahead of the ground campaign to liberate Idlib commences.
"Abu al-Duhur corridor is going to reopen, but we know that the terrorist groups are charging civilians 300,000 Syrian Pounds ($600) to leave by these corridors. People are leaving with nothing except the clothes on their back and yet we are told these monsters bring us 'freedom and democracy.'"
Wafaa described the foreign fighters occupying Idlib: "Most people in Idlib avoid the foreign fighters, they are very extreme and dangerous. My sister told me that a few days ago she walked past some Uyghur children in her district. They started taunting her because the hem of her skirt was too high. People see the White Helmets in the same way. They are foreign, and they are well paid. They are wealthy like the foreign extremists. Most people in Idlib don't allow their children to go to school because they fear that the White Helmets will kidnap them."
Wafaa explained that the White Helmets don't ask for money for the safe return of the children, which was the practice of the armed groups earlier in the conflict, according to her family.
"Why don't they ask for money? This means they want to use the children for something else. They call anyone who questions them "shabiha" because they need to keep their image clean in the West. They are not 'humanitarians,' they are terrorists in a uniform, that's all."
Wafaa is terrified that these US coalition proxies, which include the White Helmets, have already used Ahmed for one of the reportedly staged events that have been prepared in advance, in order to criminalize the Syrian government and its allies as soon as the SAA liberation campaign begins in earnest.
"Ten days ago, a woman came to see me. She had just arrived from Idlib. She showed me a photo of Ahmed and confirmed he is still alive but imprisoned with many other children. She told me that the White Helmets move the children from place to place depending upon where the attacks might be staged. They are kept in prisons all the time. I worry so much that he is sick or scared and he can't speak. I am convinced I will see Ahmed's face in one of these chemical attack videos or reports," said Wafaa.
As we were talking about Ahmed, his younger brother Hamza was reacting strongly and becoming increasingly agitated.
"He does this every time we discuss his brother, Ahmed. He is deeply disturbed by the loss of his brother," Wafaa explained. "I used to take more care of Ahmed because he had special needs but now I try to protect Hamza more also."
Throughout the interview, Wafaa remained composed and eloquent. She presented facts in a considered and objective way. Her child has been abducted, he is imprisoned by some of the most brutal extremist groups in Syria, but Wafaa displayed a fortitude that defied fear or pity. She remained proud and resilient. Mohammed Ibrahim, Ahmed's father, was quieter and more withdrawn but the unbreakable bond between the couple and Ahmed's brothers was evident. They were united in hope and determination that Ahmed will survive his ordeal and will be returned to them.
"If Idlib is liberated, we know that our army will bring Ahmed home to us. They will rescue him."
Wafaa's first display of anger and frustration came when I asked her to describe the reality of the "moderate" occupation of her homeland to people in the West.
"We have no voice. We are the forgotten Syrian people. Nobody listens to us when we tell the world that these monsters are killing us, killing our children, stealing our lives and destroying our homes. These 'moderates' don't bring freedom or democracy, they bring only bloodshed, fear and loss. We want Idlib cleansed of their presence, we want the West to take their terrorists out of our country. What did we do wrong to deserve this? Why should my son suffer, for what? Please bring this to an end, let us live in peace as we did before 2011."
Just before I left this family, I filmed Wafaa as she gave perhaps the most powerful message of her interview – "Leave our children in peace. Let our children play, stop 'playing' with our children." In Syria, children have been cruelly exploited to promote war to ensure the deaths of more children. Wafaa is demanding that people in the West recognize this fact and do all they can to prevent more children suffering at the hands of the Western client fanatics and affiliated White Helmets. We should hear her plea and act upon it before it's too late for Ahmed and all the other children who will suffer the same fate if we do nothing.

Thank you Vanessa Beeley!– Wafaa and Mohammed are unbelievably brave and stoic people. Along with many other Syrian families whose children have been stolen by the Wahhabi 'White' Helmets and for what small comfort it may bring– they must know, they're not alone, but millions of people throughout the world are praying for the safe return of their little ones …
God alone knows, those who are behind these wars, have lost both moral and spiritual compasses– are worshippers of evil and bent on destroying humanity's commonly shared and respected values of decency, compassion and love for all children.
But their ruthless and heartless deeds are uniting humanity across all borders, races, creeds and cultures– to defeat and wipe from the face of this earth this monstrous and unconscionable foe!
kznwatch, you are absolutely dead on point there. There are more and more of us uniting, this evil must be vanquished for good!
Absolutely…. thanks for your response, as scattered as we are all over the world … still more and more our minds are uniting as one. Go well!

version 2.3
requiers python 3.5
(was made on 3.5.2, but anything thats 3.5+ should work)

This is a command line program for making minecraft behavior pack addons.

I'll be working to improve this thing so any ideas on what to fix
or what should be implumented next is welcome.

The zip compiler has just had a complete redo, meaning its a hole new
compiler. And the main file has had a little update to keep it compatiable
with the ziper. So the AddonSDK is 1.2, but the ziper is 2.1, so
we are now officially at 2.3!

The new zipper purforms much better than the old one, I'm very happy with it.

Norwegian legislative debate offers hope for gene editing in aquaculture
Regulations Politics Biotechnology
by Rob Fletcher
6 December 2017, at 10:41am
In a move that could have huge implications for global aquaculture, a new way to classify and regulate GMOs has been proposed by the Norwegian Biotechnology Advisory Board yesterday.
The board proposed a renewed public debate and dialogue over genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and 17 of the 20 members voted in favour of a new three-tiered classification for genetic engineering. If adopted, this could offer hope that a number of current projects – in particular those using gene editing on salmon – could gain fairly rapid regulatory approval.
It is a process that will be followed particularly closely by Norway's salmon sector, in which a number of promising genetic engineering projects are currently taking place. These include the use of the gene editing technology CRISPR Cas-9 to produce sterile salmon and also salmon resistant to ISA.
As the board reflects in a statement: "Genome editing, CRISPR being the prime example, is now being employed by researchers all over the world at an unprecedented pace. The technique allows for targeted genetic alterations such as deleting, substituting or adding DNA, or switching genes on or off without making any changes to the genetic sequence."
Anna Wargelius of IMR, who has used CRISPR to produce sterile salmon, is one of the key proponents of the benefits of gene editing
The key to the debate is how far and how fast these technologies have developed – factors that make current legislation appear particularly dated.
The statement continues: "We have to discuss how GMOs are regulated Current GMO regulatory frameworks, both in Norway, the EU and elsewhere, were developed when genetic engineering was still in its infancy. At the time, the divide between gene technology and conventional breeding techniques was clear. Today, with new technologies giving a much larger range of possibilities, these lines are becoming increasingly blurred. For example, gene editing can be used to make genetic changes that are equivalent to those that can or do arise naturally, or can be obtained using conventional breeding techniques."
Gene editing can be used to make genetic changes that are equivalent to those that can or do arise naturally, or can be obtained using conventional breeding techniques
A three-tiered system
Seventeen members of the board argued that organisms can be divided into different levels, based on the genetic change that has been made, according to general principles. For example, relevant criteria can be whether or not the change is permanent and heritable, whether or not the change can also be made using conventional breeding techniques, and whether or not the change crosses species boundaries.
At the lowest level (see diagram below), a notification to the authorities (receipt required before the organism can be released) may be sufficient. At higher levels, organisms would require approval before release is authorised, but may be subject to different risk assessment and approval requirements.

The response has been greeted with enthusiasm by a number of eminent scientists and researchers, particularly those involved in GM-related projects.
As Professor Johnathan Napier, who has led a project developing a strain of GM camelina that produces the key long chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, reflects: "It strikes me as a very positive thing - given the interlinked global challenges of climate change, population growth and food security, we need every tool in the box to help address these problems. Genetic engineering and genome editing are technologies which can contribute to solving these global challenges, and it is very positive that Norway is seeking to reconsider how these are regulated."
Professor Napier, who hopes his pioneering GM crops - developed at Rothamsted Research will one day be used as a possible alternative to the fish oil that is essential in the diets of farmed fish such as salmon, also points out the advantages of debating the issue in public, before any changes would be considered being made to the existing legislation. "It is also interesting that they (rightly, in my opinion) place public dialogue and societal consent at the heart of this process - this will be critical for wider uptake and acceptance of these new, potentially disruptive, technologies," he adds.
To facilitate a national debate the board plans to hold open meetings and talks in all of the biggest Norwegian cities over the next months. The deadline for responses to the public consultation is 5 May 2018. More information will follow at www.bioteknologiradet.no/genteknologiloven.

Biber - Missa Christi resurgentis (2005)
The English Concert
Andrew Manze
During 2004, three hundred years after the death of Biber, The English Concert gave the first European performances in modern times of the Missa Christi resurgentis. Although the existence and whereabouts of this Mass have been known for a long time, it is only thanks to the work of Dr James Clements that it can be heard today. Before I met James, I had pictured an intrepid Indiana Jones look-alike, abseiling his way into the candlelit vaults of Krome?r?íz? castle deep in the Czech Republic, sneezing his way along the dusty shelves and finally laying his hand on a pile of music undisturbed since it was placed there by one of Biber's contemporaries.
More Bond than Jones, James described a reality far more prosaic, involving cups of tea with helpful librarians, ugly strip-lighting and many silent hours poring over scraps of paper. The result, however, is the same: we can now hear a lavish piece of music that Biber wrote for the Archbishop of Salzburg. This recording was made in London's Temple Church which, while not as lofty a building as Salzburg's cathedral, has as voluminous an acoustic. By placing the four main 'choirs' of musicians – two groups of singers, one each of strings and winds – approximately at the four corners of a square we were able to create the impression of Salzburg's grandeur without losing clarity, which can easily happen in Biber's polychoral works
The English Concert was founded by Trevor Pinnock in 1973 and is among the world's leading early music ensembles. Under Andrew Manze's direction, the orchestra has added annual appearances in the USA to its worldwide touring schedule and is expanding its recording plans with harmonia mundi usa.
Andrew Manze is "a violinist with extraordinary flair and improvisatory freedom" (BBC Music Magazine), "the first modern superstar of the baroque violin" (San Francisco Examiner).
As a player, he specializes in repertoire from 1610 to 1830; as a conductor, he is much in demand among both period- and modern-instrument orchestras around the world. He also teaches, edits music, contributes articles to numerous periodicals, and broadcasts regularly on radio and television. He is a presenter on BBC Radio's new Early Music Show.
A Cambridge Classicist by training, Andrew Manze studied the violin with Simon Standage and Marie Leonhardt. He was Associate Director of The Academy of Ancient Music from 1996 to 2003, and succeeded Trevor Pinnock as Artistic Director of The English Concert in July of that year. He is also Artist-in-residence at the Swedish Chamber Orchestra. In his new role at The English Concert, Andrew will move into Classical repertoire, including Mozart's violin concertos, orchestral works and reorchestrations of Handel's oratorios, while continuing to perform baroque repertoire. 2003 saw his debut tour of the UK with The English Concert, a televized concert at the London Proms and a filmed reconstruction of Handel's Water Music on the River Thames for the BBC. In their first prize-winning recording together, Manze led The English Concert in a dazzling Mozart program, including Eine kleine Nachtmusik (hmu 907280).
Andrew Manze is also active as a guest conductor in large-scale oratorio and symphonic repertoire, with symphony, chamber and period-instrument orchestras in Europe, the US and Australia. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music and a Visiting Professor at the Royal College of Music, London; his cadenzas to Mozart's violin concertos were recently published by Breitkopf & Ha?rtel.
Manze records exclusively for harmonia mundi usa and has released an astonishing variety of CDs. Recordings made with the trio Romanesca (Biber, Schmelzer, Vivaldi), The Academy of Ancient Music (including Bach violin concertos, Geminiani and Handel concerti grossi), and as a soloist (Telemann, Tartini), have garnered many international prizes: the Gramophone, Edison and Cannes Classical Awards, the Premio Internazionale del Disco Antonio Vivaldi and the Diapason d'Or—each of them twice. Since 1984 his collaboration with Richard Egarr has been setting new standards. Their discography includes sonatas by Rebel and Bach (both awarded the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik) and Pandolfi's complete Violin Sonatas (Gramophone Award, 2000). Their recording of the complete Violin Sonatas of Handel was nominated for a 2003 Grammy ® Award, and figured in the US Billboard ® Chart. Their previous release, Corelli's Sonatas Op.5, has received unanimous rave reviews, was Gramophone's Recording of the Month and won the 2003 Prix Caecilia. Their next release will be of Mozart sonatas.
