Les illes de Sotavent de Hawaii (en anglès: Northwestern Hawaiian Islands o Leeward Islands) són les illes, atols, esculls i bancs de sorra de l'arxipèlag de Hawaii situades al nord-oest de les illes Kauai i Niihau. Les illes són deshabitades i administrades per l'estat nord-americà de Hawaii, excepte l'atol Midway, que és administrat per l'US Fish and Wildlife Service, una oficina del Departament d'Interior nord-americà.

Geografia
Les illes de Sotavent de Hawaii, d'est a oest i el nom hawaià entre parèntesis, són les següents:
 Kaula (Kaula)
 Nihoa (Moku Manu)
 Necker (Mokumanamana)
 French Frigate Shoals ()
 Gardner Pinnacles ()
 Escull Maro (Nalukakala)
 Laysan ()
 Lisianski (Papapoho)
 Pearl i Hermes (Holoikauaua)
 Midway (Pihemanu)
 Kure (Knemilohai)

Les illes de Sotavent es van formar sobre el mateix punt calent volcànic que ha format les illes de Sobrevent o illes majors de Hawaii. En desplaçar-se la placa del Pacífic cap al nord i nord-oest sobre el punt calent de l'escorça terrestre, les erupcions volcàniques van anar formant les illes. Les terres aïllades es van anar erosionant i enfonsant gradualment, convertint-se en illots, atols, esculls o bancs de sorra.

Història
En les illes més properes a les illes majors de sobrevent, a Necker i Nihoa, hi ha alguns signes de presència polinèsia, però es creu que en cap de les illes va existir una població permanent. Els noms tradicionals hawaians en són Mokuakamohoalii, Hanakaieie, Hanakeaumoe i Ununui, però no s'ha identificat a quines illes corresponen els noms. Els altres noms hawaians són moderns.

A pesar del seu aïllament, la presència humana ha tingut un gran impacte. Als primes anys del , es van matar centenars de milers d'ocells per abastar el mercat de barrets de plomes; a Laysan es van explotar els dipòsits de guano, i Midway va ser ocupat per milers de militars que van mantenir unes batalles decisives en la II Guerra mundial.

El 1909, el president Theodore Roosevelt va declarar la majoria d'illes com a reserva natural per protegir-ne els ocells. El 2000, el president Bill Clinton va crear la reserva de la Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve per preservar els esculls de corall. En aquest moments, hi ha una proposta per a estendre-ho com a reserva marina.

Actualment, hi ha unes bases permanents d'investigadors científics a Midway, French Frigate Shoals i Laysan. No està permesa la visita de les illes, excepte per treballs científics i de conservació. La protecció de les illes recau en tres oficines: el U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, del Departament d'Interior; la National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, del Departament de Comerç; i el Department of Land and Natural Resources, de l'estat de Hawaii.

Children as witnesses at Senate committees.
In December 2012, the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights tabled its report Cyberbullying Hurts: Respect for Rights in the Digital Age. It followed a series of hearings in 2011 and 2012 where it closely examined the roles that stakeholders can play in addressing cyberbullying and the emerging best practices. The committee began this study by using the standard modus operandi for most parliamentary reviews - holding public meetings with experts, government officials, and representatives from stakeholder organizations. However, it was missing an important piece of the puzzle; the committee needed to hear from the children themselves. This article looks at how the committee went about the unusual task of hearing minor children as witnesses.
How do we elicit the views of young people before a Senate committee? After a review of past proceedings of other committees and the key procedural authorities, we discovered that parliamentary hearings involving youth have been rare and that there were no set rules or predetermined procedures involving meetings with minors. In the absence of well-established processes, we knew that we should proceed cautiously. While inviting minors would be a challenge, we felt that it was worth the risk.
In 2001, the Senate amended its Rules to establish a new standing committee to review legislation and policy relating to the implementation of Canada's domestic and international human rights obligations. Over the course of its history, the committee has spent a considerable amount of time studying children's issues and has published four separate reports dealing extensively with the human rights of children in Canada.
We looked at tough issues such as sexual exploitation, corporal punishment, bullying and poverty.
With this particular interest in children's issues by the committee, Senator Ataullahjan brought forward the idea of a study into the cyberbullying of youth. Members had been noticing a substantial rise in media reports about extreme forms of bullying over the Internet and through mobile electronic devices. We were shocked by its severity and the personal impact on students. We were also taken aback to learn of cases where young people were taking their own lives to escape ongoing harassment. Based on the seriousness of these cases and the outcry for action, Senator Ataullahjan formally proposed a study to the committee.

Happy Birthday BILL PAXTON!
by Rebecca Kaplan · May 17, 2021
Today would have been late Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Bill Paxton's birthday, and we're celebrating by looking back at his explosive role in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season one, all of which you can stream right now on Netflix!
Photo: Reddit
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season One
Paxton played the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent John Garrett in the first season of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which ran for seven seasons on ABC, from 2013 through 2020. The character of Garrett first appeared in the fourteenth episode of the first season, "T.A.H.I.T.I.," which aired on March 4th, 2014.
Photo: Entertainment Weekly
Garrett appeared in six episodes total over the course of the first season, playing an integral role in "Turn, Turn, Turn," a season-defining episode that picked up where the events of 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier left off.

While the character of Garrett did not return after the first season (see his final appearance in the season finale, "Beginning of the End," for a clue as to why), he was an extremely memorable villain who set the stage for the best baddies in the MCU: those that seem completely convinced that nothing could be as good as being bad!
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. honored Paxton's memory with an "in memory" card in the credits of season four episode sixteen, "What If…"
Paxton's memory was also honored with a dedication in the Guidebook to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season Four.
Paxton's Legacy
While Paxton may have played the memorable role of Agent Garrett, he had a long and impressive career before he set foot in the Marvel universe. He appeared in the legendary 1986 movie Aliens as Private Hudson, a role that gave him one of the most memorable lines of dialogue in the whole franchise: "Game over, man! Game over!"
JENETTE GOLDSTEIN & BILL PAXTON ALIENS (1986)
He worked with Aliens director James Cameron again in 1997, when he appeared in the modern day segments of Titanic.

This is only a small snippet of his big screen acting resume, which also includes roles in 1995's Apollo 13 and 1996's Twister. And that's not even getting into his other TV appearances, which include guest starring roles on shows like the late 1990s-era sitcom Frasier as well as starring roles on shows like the 2000s-era HBO drama Big Love.
Which Paxton Will You Watch to Celebrate?
Which movie or show episode starring Paxton will you be watching to celebrate his birthday today, Marvel Blog True Believers?
I don't think you'll be surprised to know I'm choosing Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: "Turn, Turn, Turn." In my opinion, you just can't beat that cold open set to Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper."

A cover letter is the employer's introduction to you and what you can do for the company. Before even looking at your resume, the employer wants to see that you can present yourself well in writing and that you have carefully considered why you want the particular position for which you are applying. Take your cover letter seriously, and avoid copying and pasting information from one to another for each job.
How can you customize it? First, avoid making obvious errors, such as forgetting to change the job title, hiring manager's name, date, and the name of the company when you bring up your cover letter template on your computer. Carefully look through the entire document to be sure that you have all of the little details right before you send it out. Take a break from the cover letter for a couple hours before you send it so that you have fresh eyes to spot any such mistakes.
Additionally, tailor examples of how you meet the skill requirements listed in the job description. If you are applying for a first grade teacher job, for example, and you use an English as a second language teacher cover letter that you used last month, it may not be relevant that you are familiar with your state's ESL yearly testing requirements. Instead, you should focus on that you know how to create project-based units for science that meet Common Core requirements for first grade.
Writing a cover letter should be done with care. It is not something that should take you just ten minutes to complete. Carefully read through the job description. Highlight your skills that match those that it lists. Use numbers and percentages in your examples of how you meet those skills, and then mention how you can uniquely fill the organization's larger goals.
If possible, have someone else read through the job description, look at the organization's website, read the biography of the hiring manager on the site, and then read through your cover letter to uncover any glaring mistakes you made or to perhaps suggest a different angle from which to present yourself.


Ilio was skiing down a nearly vertical wall when Lucilla met him, way back in nineteenhundredandseventyeight. She realized that he would be hers by the second awkward curve: he was a red dot on the blinding white of the gully, but to her he was already her man. He was toying with that unimaginable gradient, where anyone else wouldn't even be able to stand, and she had the impression that he did for her. In her mind he was risking his life to come to her, to enter into her life. The dream she'd had was unequivocal: she was the prize for his impossible mission, for that struggle of his against the blue of the sky. They still didn't know each other, but they were forever linked.
All eyes were fixed on him, everyone holding their breath: the only thing you could hear was the persistent whirring of the helicopter busy filming. It seemed impossible that he wouldn't fall, at every curve you expected that he'd lose his balance and go crashing against the rocks at the foot of the slope. Now that his muscles were loosened up, though, he was executing wedeln with an agility that oozed grace and lightness. Every time he turned, he'd set off minute avalanches that potentially could have swelled, threatening to swamp him on the serpentine that lay ahead. He continued his to descend, though, soft and elegant, fragile yet obstinate: a butterfly on a windy day. She regretted that she hadn't washed her hair, to not be as beautiful as she could've been. She felt, however, that they still would've gotten together.
Everyone stopped breathing, watching him dance with death. But she was more afraid than the others because he was the person that she'd been waiting for from the day that she'd left the hospital, because her existence now depended on him. He was hers, and she couldn't lose him. He had to keep from falling; he had to live. For himself as well as for her.
She was proud that her man – in her imagination he was not one of the most talented extreme skiers ever, he was her man – was so brave and so skilled. But she knew that it was not only a matter of virtuosity and cold blood: he could do this crazy thing only thanks to his fatal intuition, thanks to the incredible strength of his spirit. He felt the flow very powerfully, an extraordinary strength that enabled him to carry out this test, which defied the laws of physics. And he had the crystalline perception that he could engage in missions even more impossible than this one, and that he certainly would have. Just as she would have pushed his limits even further, now that she was better.
She knew that he felt upon his temples the weight of the greedy eyes of the people around, he felt in his lungs the powerful magnetism of all those minds focused on him. Those curious people feared but were simultaneously excited by the danger because they risked nothing, because they foresaw nothing. She, on the other hand, had pangs stabbing at her throat, had the feeling of going insane. She sensed that he would fall.
Ilio continues his focused and cautious zigzagging, like a cat hunting. He doesn't fall; he doesn't crash. He advances. Every now and then he has a moment of doubt or slideslips a few meters, always just managing to catch his balance in the minimal space that the steepness affords. Leaning forward a few centimeters more would plunge him headlong into the void, and if he were to come a hair's breadth closer to the ice wall his skis would lose their extremely tenuous foothold. He's closer now; she can see him better. He's a red comma crushed against the pure white scar that slices through the mountain, through the endless gully, the sadly infamous gully. A scarlet pencil tracing doodles on that pristine page of crystalline foam.
Maybe he'll make it, she says. Maybe it wasn't a premonition but merely interference due to the incredible attraction she feels. Maybe nothing will happen to him.
Just then Ilio loses the support of his lower ski, and after two hodgepodge somersaults starts to slide upside down. He spurts, ever faster and faster, like a parachutist who didn't open his parachute. He doesn't move his arms, doesn't pull out the ice ax that is fastened to his waist, does nothing to try to put the brakes on his fall: now he leaps like an arrow, a red arrow.
It's over, she thinks. It's over before it has even started. His head is going to crash against the rocks. She wasn't wrong, unfortunately, and now there's nothing left to do. She has failed to save him. She feels her legs giving out.
Ilio manages to rotate himself, though, and get his skis back underneath him: in a millisecond he's back on his feet. He's succeeded, without losing his balance, in cushioning the hugely violent rebound caused by the impact of the edge of his skis against the sloping ice, and at the same time to maintain his grip. It was an amazing pirouette engendered by a last-gasp effort: something like a somersault. He's back on his feet, and presses forward.
He's stunned, you can see that, but he doesn't stop. He recovers, drifting slowly on a diagonal, letting himself be carried by the skis. He tries to pull his thoughts together, to regain concentration. Maybe he knows it could be worse if he would stop. He touches his head with his elbow as if wanting to make sure he's not hurt. He bends his knees two or three times, perhaps checking to see if they respond again. He doesn't seem well balanced on his skis; one might think that he's on the verge of falling again. On the contrary, he turns like a twisting fish and resumes his zigzagging along the steepest part of the slope: his legs recover their elegant twists. He descends with the same lightness as before, as if nothing had happened.
A roar rises from the crowd around her like the echo of a distant explosion. The excitement has congealed, a dense mortar that engulfs the breath and shouts of the people. She is still on the ground. She doesn't have the strength to get up: she sees him through the rows of legs. She watches him descend, with a willowy swaying motion, advancing towards the rocks against which he nearly just killed himself.
Although less so, the slope is still formidable: he's not out of danger. But she knows that he risks nothing further now. The oppression has lifted, giving way to a sense of bliss that it seems to her has never been experienced before, a joy that continues to mount. She senses that she's found security and confidence in herself, that there will be no more hitches. She senses that he also knows that he's done it and is enjoying the warm cocoon of the people's admiring glances, savoring the sensation of gliding down untouched snow. She senses what he feels, and is at ease and satisfied in this scandalously intimate contact. It's as if she's known him for a very long time, for forever. She's certain that they'll be together. This time it's not just a fantasy of hers; she senses it. She's better now: she doesn't invent things anymore.

We recently came across an interesting NIH-funded study that looked at the escalating cost of medical bills. Four researchers examined more than 8,303 emergency room bills and found that the average emergency room bill was $1,233 — 40 percent more than the average American pays for a month's rent. They also found that the cost of treating a sprained ankle ranged from $4 to $24,110!
Why Is Emergency Room Care So Expensive?
When you sustain an ankle injury, your first instinct may be to head to the emergency room because you feel they can see you sooner. However, with so many walk-in centers and so much same-day appointment availability at podiatry clinics, there is no reason why you should be subjected to such high ER bills.
The uninsured were found to be charged the least for a sprained ankle — followed by private insurance and Medicaid. The bottom line is this: the mean cost of treating a sprained ankle in an emergency rooms setting was found to be $1,498 — so think twice before you go there!
According to the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association, podiatric physicians are four times less likely to use costly inpatient services than other physicians. Podiatry Post records the average cost of treating a sprained ankle at a podiatry clinic as $400 – $500 — of which the podiatrist gets $275. This is assuming that the sprain requires an X-ray, ankle stirrup, and Level 3 E&M coding. "Perhaps, instead of screaming about how much better Podiatrists are at treating foot and ankle problems, which should scream about how efficient Podiatrists are at treating foot and ankle injuries," the article suggests.
Most Emergency Room Visits Are Not Emergencies At All!
A 2009 study published in Clinical Orthapaedics and Related Research analyzed 119,815 ER visits in 2009 and found that the most common injury was a strain or sprain, accounting for 36% of all visits. In fact, ankle sprains were most common, accounting for 206 out of every 100,000 trips to the ER. The actual incidence of an ankle fracture is around 49 per 100,000, though.
The challenge is that sprains, strains, and fractures all have the same symptoms — redness, tenderness, swelling, pain, the inability to bear weight, bruising. So how does one diagnose the condition? Many people presume an x-ray will tell all, but Ottawa scientists found that only 15% of fractures are diagnosed this way. Instead, they came up with a more accurate set of guidelines based on bone tenderness and one's ability to bear weight that reduced the number of x-rays 36%.
The Ottawa Ankle Rules reduced the need for x-rays by 36%.
Podiatrists Are More Flexible Than You Think!
The old adage "It's better safe than sorry" certainly applies to suspected ankle fractures. Many NY podiatry clinics like The Center For Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine have built time into the schedule to handle emergency visits and offer weekend hours for your convenience. Most insurances don't require a referral to use our services. If you don't have insurance, no worries — we will do our best to keep your out-of-pocket costs low.

The show is making the rounds again.
The image is flipped horizontally.
I enjoyed the show. Some of it was just because it shows Times Square and that area pre-Guiliani, which is the way it is in my mind. I remember thinking how seedy and dirty it was in that neighborhood when I was ten years old.
But it is also a well done show. Good writing, and some good performances.
I enjoyed the series. The characters are complex and complicated. It demonstrates quite well that many street people do not fit the stereotype we expect. Good humor at unexpected times.
Lots of T&A with a little murder mixed in for the season opener.
This fell off my radar before I ever started season 1. Thanks for the reminder. I just finished season 2 of Ozark and am ready to start watching another series.


Re: Would you consider the shingles vaccine?
Would you consider the shingles vaccine?
In late September/2018, wife and I got our second of two shingles shots. All four shots cost us, but we wanted to be protected and her PCP highly recommended it, as did my VA PCP. It took around a week for the pain to really subside, but it finally did go away.
BTW, I'm 69 and she is 70.
The first shot caused that kind of pain for me. But the second didn't. You should get the 2nd shot. Better than getting shingles.
My BC/BS paid 100% of the vaccine for me. Not "all" don't pay.
I just got the second dose of the vaccine. You need the 2nd one within 6 months of the first. There is a shortage, go to your doctor or pharmacy and get on their waitin list. Walgreens is puttin people who need the 2nd vaccine ahead of those who need the 1st. I had the same side effects as you with the vaccine, but actually had a mild case of chicken pox from it. But I'll do that over having shingles any day!
At my primary care doctor's recommendation, I had the new shingles vaccine three days ago. I'd had the older vaccine. Prior to both, I'd had shingles. Yes, following the new vaccination my upper arm was sore and reddened, but it is subsiding. I would do anything to prevent or lessen another bout with shingles. I intend to go back in a couple of months and get the second dose. I am blessed with robust medical coverage and there was no co-pay.
All BC/BS (Blue Cross/Blue Sheild) carriers don pay for the shingles vaccine, costly $250-300! Nore does Medicare pay for it.
Absolutely ! As both retired nurses, my mother (76) and I (56) got the series together. In our personal and professional roles we both knew the wicked effects of the disease. Does the injection hurt? Yes it does. It burns on administration and the injection site remained sore for about 48 hours. Nothing Advil did not manage. Certainly no where near the pain and debilitation of an actual case of shingles not to mention the relentless pain of post-herpetic neuralgia. My mother had Medicare and Tri Care for life. I had Blue Cross/Blue Shield and neither one of us paid a penny for the series.
NO. I had the first one and it was just too painful. My shoulder felt just like it did when I tore my rotator cuff. Couldn't use my arm for days. I won't go through pain like that again. Was at my docs 2 days ago to get my prolia injection and I remembered he had told me that when I come for that one he was going to give me my 2nd shingles... I told him to forget about it.
With some plans the amount one has to pay initially coves BOTH doses so check with your plan or perhaps the plans preferred pharmacy - hopefully that is who you used for the initial dose - most likely it should be cheapest there.

On April 1 Myanmar held by-elections that saw Aung San Suu Kyi re-elected to parliament. Let us pause for a second to consider the tumultuous journey Myanmar has been on in the last year. And also consider what this may mean for the people of Myanmar and tourism.
Here's a guest blog by long-term Southeast Asia resident Ken Scott on the subject.
There have been radical changes indeed. They would, frankly, have been inconceivable over a year ago. Since the flawed elections in 2010, Myanmar has taken big steps towards a more mixed economy, democracy and reconciliation. The release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the creation of a National Human Rights Commission, freedom for political prisoners, and new laws easing censorship of the press have all been implemented. Foreign secretaries from the United States, UK and Canada have visited to encourage continued change.
There is consensus that the changes are here to stay. At a hotel investment session at HICAP Update last month, the Myanmar specialists agreed that the changes had been planned and thought through as part of a long-term vision. While there's no definitive word on why the government has so suddenly changed its direction, there are, however, some big picture considerations.
Myanmar will host the Southeast Asia Games in 2013. It will become Chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in 2014. Getting sanctions lifted would allow huge amount of investment money from the West to enter. Western investment would be a counter-balance to the increasing influence of China.
But what about the conditions of ordinary Myanmar people? One expatriate tourism industry professional living in Yangon told me that things aren't as rosy as they appear. He said flights are full of workers leaving the country (with few coming back) and relative purchasing power of the people is declining. He said internet and telephone services are buckling under increased demand. Red tape is worse than 10 years ago. He said criminality and aggression among young people are on the rise. Living in Yangon he sees things close up. He said: "I am optimistic that things will slowly improve if sanctions are lifted and if the current president and government gets a chance to continue their reforms.
What about tourism? Demand is seriously outstripping hotel room and air seat supply, especially between November and March, peak season. Getting a hotel room in Yangon or Bagan is difficult. Hoteliers that once converted empty hotel rooms into offices are now rapidly reconverting them back to hotel rooms. Who is going to train all the staff needed?
Yangon now has direct air links with 17 international cities. In October, Condor Air (from Frankfurt) will start flying to Yangon. At ITB Berlin, Qatar Airways said it would start flights to Myanmar anytime between May and November this year.
Mass tourism or niche tourism?
Thailand attracts about 20 million international arrivals each year, Myanmar, 400,000. I know jobs will be created with the expected new tourism onslaught, but I want Myanmar to learn from the mistakes of neighbouring countries.
Zoning and architectural heritage protection are vital. That's why the conservation work of the Yangon Heritage Trust, an NGO set up by Dr Thant Myint-U, deserves to be fully supported by the government and private sector.
With freedom comes more choice – difficult choices. The April 1 by-elections were another important milestone on Myanmar's heady new journey. All of us standing on the sidelines can only play a small role in Myanmar's future. We hope the people of Myanmar find themselves making the right choices on their new journey. We wish them well.


The first step to growing good grass is to assess what is already there and make management decisions based on this.
Do you monitor grass growth?
You need to know how much grass is growing so you can make informed decisions about grazing and so you can minimise grass waste.
The only way to really know how well your grass is growing is to measure it. You can either measure sward height (in cm) or kg of dry matter/hectare (KgDM/ha). Sward height is usually measured in centimetres and using a sward stick, but you can use general items such as your welly boot or a bit of pipe. It doesn't matter as long as you are consistent. (Click here to order a FREE sward stick from EBLEX).
To measure KgDM/ha use a sward stick that shows this unit or a rising plate meter (a guide to using plate meters can be found here).
Can the sward still support the same numbers of livestock it has done in the past?
Are patchy or poached areas developing?
If your grass is achieving an annual yield of 12 tonnes of DM/ha, or more then it is doing really well. If it is falling between 5 – 8 tonnes of DM/ha/year then you should be thinking about rejuvenating the existing sward.
Common weeds include chickweed, thistles, docks, buttercups, nettles and ragwort.
Have you done a weed assessment?
Assess a 50 x 50 cm square at a number of places. If more than 10% of the squares are populated by weeds, then production is being compromised.
Changing your cultural practices can provide an effective method of weed control in itself and prove particularly effective when combined with an appropriate herbicide strategy. Cultivations are also an integral part of many programmes to deal with herbicide resistance.
If you wish to use herbicides you should take advice from a BASIS-registered agronomist, who will be able to guide you on the most effective form of weed control.

Q: End function on successful function call, or evaluate for function I apologize for the title.
I have a control flow issue. I would like to call just one of two functions. I put calls to both inside another function. If I could evaluate for either's value, then I could call or not call the next based on that value; if there were a return value associated with each call based on whether or not they actually did something it could be used in a conditional branch. Alternatively, if I knew a value for the character preceding the carat, that could act as an argument for the function.
I don't know how to do find these values.
My actual code is nearly simplest case. It is as follows:
(defun rad-delete-backward-char-indent ()
    "Delete one character or up to indent's worth of white space"
    (interactive)
    (delete-horizontal-space 4)
    (delete-backward-char))

(global-set-key "\d" 'rad-delete-backward-char-indent)

I would like to delete either one character, or all preceding white-space up to four spaces worth. Currently, I am deleting up to four white-spaces and a character. i.e.

"foo___^" << "fo^"

As opposed to:

"foo___" << "foo^"

Drew answered the essential question. The solution I used was to evaluate for the preceding character to the pointer using preceding-char generic function.
(defun rad-delete-backward-char-indent ()
    "Delete one character or up to one tab worth of white space"
    (interactive)
    (setq first_char (string (preceding-char)))
    (setq i 0)
    (while (not (= i 4))
        (if (string= " " (string (preceding-char)))
            (delete-backward-char 1))
        (setq i (1+ i)))
    (unless (string= " " first_char)
        (delete-backward-char 1)))

(global-set-key "\d" 'rad-delete-backward-char-indent)

A: (defun rad-delete-backward-char-indent ()
  "Delete one character or up to indent's worth of white space"
  (interactive)
  (if <SOMETHING>
      (delete-horizontal-space 4)
    (delete-backward-char))

But it's not clear what the <SOMETHING> is that you want to test.
You say "If I could evaluate for either's value, then I could call or not call the next based on that value." I don't understand that sentence. Could you say it another way? Just what do you want to test, to know which code to evaluate?
What do you mean by evaluate for either's value?

A: While I think Drew's answer is your better choice, another solution, maybe closer to what you thought you wanted, is to check whether the first function changed something:
(defun rad-delete-backward-char-indent ()
  "Delete one character or up to indent's worth of white space"
  (interactive)
  (let ((start (buffer-chars-modified-tick)))
    (delete-horizontal-space 4)
    (when (eq (buffer-chars-modified-tick) start)
      (delete-backward-char))))

By the way, I don't think the 4 above does what you want.  It does the same as any other non-nil value: it tells delete-horizontal-space to only delete backwards, but it doesn't bound the number of spaces it will remove.

This was amazing. Don't ask me why I got the sudden urge to look into tourettes syndrome. I don't have it and I don't know anybody with it, but I found this success story truly remarkable. What really caught my attention was when he began talking about how hopeless he felt about life while he was dealing with his muscle tics and was even pessimistic about the treatment that he was about to get. He followed that statement with the fact that he now has great aspirations, high hopes, and lofty goals. He said he feels something like an infant with so many things to explore and not enough time in the day. It touched me a lil bit after thinking about the time we waste doing frivolous things and the moments where we start to feel bad about ourselves or become depressed when really we have so much to be thankful for and so much that we can achieve if we just take a moment to rid ourselves of doubt and choose instead to focus. At any rate, peep the video.
I say if you can afford to pay more, then you should. If they can't come up with a fair system then just make everybody pay the same rate across the board. Greedy people will always find a way around the system to create a higher bottom line for themselves. And while on one side, they work hard for their money and deserve most of it, there is no reason for them to get a higher percentage of their income to play with when the people on the bottom of the totem pole have to dance on a pole to get gas money and a loaf of bread.
Maybe its just me but, I thought this guy was AMAZING! It ain't gone thrill everybody, but ANYBODY whose ever tried to yoyo before knows that the stuff this fella does is no easy task... Check him out.
I sat down and watched this lil video on yahoo and, at the very end, one of the fellas said something that caught my attention. He said "Its a dream job!" Then he kinda chuckled - seemingly coming from the simple joy he gets from sculpting sand for a living... First question: How can this be a job? You're in a public place, on a beach, doing a form of art that cant be sold in many places - art that only last as long as the weather holds up and free running kids dont accidently tackle your masterpiece. Moving on to our second question: How can I apply? I promise this would be an awesome job! You have a PAID excuse to be at a hotel on a beach all the time making art with sand. Setting your own hours + sand castles + enough money to live comfortably = win.
On another note, it sounds like these guys were pretty successful financially before they started this venture. I imagine that "old" money is being used to help them make new money and allowing them to live out their dreams now. I applaud them and their good works.
A while ago I posted a video that detailed habits of millionaires that made them successful. One of the habits that really stuck in my mind was their ability to rebound from defeat. It's somethin that I really use to struggle with. In the past, if somethin that I was solely responsible for didn't go according to plan and I suffered an embarrassing defeat, it took me MUCH longer than it should have to rebound - often re-living and analyzing every detail in my head and thinking of things that I could have and SHOULD have done better instead of re-focusing that same energy towards getting up and trying again.
1. There will be a better opportunity in the future - hindsight is 20/20. After you've lived for a while, you'll start to see where history will try to repeat itself. The key here is to use that 20/20 to learn from your errors; don't let them handicap you.
2. Its really not that serious - Nothing matters unless we make it matter. It was only a brief moment in time and, for most situations, as soon as it happened, it was over. Its our own mind that takes that one moment in time, that may have lasted all of 5 minutes, and makes it seem like it lasted an ETERNITY! The sooner you accept the fact that the past has passed, the faster you can begin dealing with the present and building a better future.
4. It's alright to fail; its not alright to be a failure - to fall and get up is one thing; to fall and stay down is a completely different thing.
5. Laugh at EVERYTHING - anything you find remotely funny needs to be laughed at. Take a moment each day to be silly. Laughter is a cure all for both depression and stress. You see, while you're laughing, your mind is focused solely on whatever it is that is making you laugh. The complex thought processes that are stressing and depressing you can not co-exist with laughter. Thus, the more you laugh, the less time you spend beating yourself up over past failures and the quicker you get back on the path of conquering the world.
I don't have all the answers for every situation; I'm just telling you what helped me. Hopefully it'll help you. In the end, always remember to never let any level of defeat stop you! It's only over when you die... And I've heard stories of people coming back from that so... I guess its never over. Keep smiling!
Alright, I'm gonna connect two things that don't have any connection whatsoever so... read the entire post!
You ever heard of the term "old for new"? Its something you might here an older person say when describing how the latest punishment of a person may seem too severe for their most recent wrongdoing; The person is getting heavily punished for all the old stuff they did even though the new "crime" wasn't really that bad. Example: You're 15 years old and you break your 10 o'clock curfew. Your mother comes downstairs and LOOSES CONTROL ON YOU! What you didn't know is that 2 weeks ago, your school had called her cell phone and told her that you have been late to school every day this year... and SHE drops you off... Yeah... She's been holding that in for a while now - Old for new. Example 2: Michael Vick did the "Ron Mexico" stuff, allegedly had weed in his water bottle at the airport, and murdered people on the football field (sorry, I couldn't resist). When he got caught up with the dogfighting ring, rather than getting some rehab and a slap on the wrist like MOST celebs of his caliber would have gotten, he gets prison time. They made sure to make up for the other stuff he should have went down for - Old for new.
Why did I start thinking about this, you ask? I was reading this article about an accused cop killer and, a lil more than half way down the article, they started going into his legal records... He started out by bringing a knife to school at 10 and has been having legal troubles ever since. I said to myself at that point "even if this guy DIDN'T kill the cop, which he more than likely did, he is going DOWN!" But that thought doesn't make sense... If he didn't do the crime, should he be punished for being perceived as a "bad" person? Isn't it possible that he may have changed his life for the better since the last time time he appeared in court?
And then I got to thinking... We do this to people in relationships ALL THE TIME!
Honestly ask yourself this question, if you've been in multiple relationships where lying was the norm, wouldn't that alter how you deal with the new person? Wouldn't you at least watch them with a more careful eye even though they hadn't done anything? Let's get extreme but real at the same time: Is it fair to become suspicious of the new person who chooses to keep their phone locked just because the last person had messages from other people they were "getting to know" when they were currently in a relationship with you? Does the new person get screamed at about taking too long to get home because the last person used "working late on a project" time to cheat? Is the new person automatically accused of lying about wanting to wait a while to get to know you before they allowed you in their home because the last person who didn't invite you over immediately for "late night rendezvous" had another family? Its kinda sad, but we often harshly punish the new person for a new "crime" that they may not even be guilty of because of repeat offenders who have gotten away with old "crimes" that have occurred in our past.
So how do we fix this? How long do we give somebody the benefit of the doubt for all this questionable activity? I say use the number 2 for new people. 2 months is about the time that it takes to differentiate what's a part of a person's every day lifestyle/character and what is just an act of kindness/foolishness done by that person at a particular moment in time. Please understand that learning from your past is ABSOLUTELY necessary; just remember not to allow your past to consume your thought process and, as a result, destroy your future.

Zborul Oceanic 815, cunoscut și sub denumirea de Zborul 815, a fost o cursă aeriană fictivă care s-a prăbușit în serialul TV Lost (serial). Cursa avea ca origine orașul Sydney, Australia iar ca destinație orașul Los Angeles, California. Cursa suferă din cauza defectării unor instrumente de bord în timpul zborului. Aceste defecțiuni tehnice îi determină pe piloți să încerce o aterizare în Fiji, deviind avionul cu 1600 km  la momentul prăbușirii. În drum spre Fiji, avionul se segmentează în trei părți care cad pe o insulă misterioasă din Oceanul Pacific pe 22 septembrie 2004.

Oceanic Airlines
Oceanic Airlines este o companie aeriană fictivă, folosită în diferite filme de cinema sau de televiziune. Totuși, trebuie remarcat că în Lost, este partea centrală a mitologiei serialului. Oceanic a fost o companie aeriană australiană de primă importanță fondată în anul 1980.  Și-a încetat activitatea după prăbușirea Zborului 815, după ce anterior avea curse regulate spre Los Angeles, Londra, Sydney și Seoul.

Zborul
Zborul 815 era un zbor regulat, programat de la Sydney la Los Angeles. Timpul de zbor era de 13 ore, 52 de minute. În acel avion existau 361 (nu 352, cum s-a afirmat pe website-ul Oceanic) locuri pentru pasageri: 30 la clasa întâi, 45 la clasa Business și 286 de locuri la clasa economică. Pasagerii ale căror numere de locuri erau cunoscute erau după cum urmează:

9E - Boone Carlyle
9F - Shannon Rutherford
20G - Hugo Reyes (care a cumpărat de asemenea un bilet pentru locul adiacent)
23B - Dr. Jack Shephard
23C - Harold Wollstein
23D - Rose Henderson
23E - Bernard Nalder
24D - John Locke
27G - US Marshal Edward Mars
27H - Kate Austen
29C - Charlie Pace
42F - Ana Lucia Cortez

Pasagerii interesanți ai avionului includeau un doctor, un suspect de crimă, un șerif, un fost soldat (garda republicană irakiană), un fost polițist (LAPD), un star rock britanic, un câștigător la loterie multi-milionar și un escroc. Corpul Dr. Christian Shephard se află în cala avionului. Câinele lui Walt Lloyd, Vincent, se află si el in avion. Nu se cunoaște câți pasageri și membri ai echipajului se aflau la bordul avionului, dar cel puțin 70 de pasageri, un membru al echipajului și pilotul au supraviețuit prăbușirii care a avut loc inițial.

Prăbușirea avionului și consecințele sale
Zborul 815 s-a dezbinat în 3 părți în aer. Cele trei părți ale avionului au aterizat pe insulă în locații diferite. Fuselajul central al avionului a aterizat pe coasta insulei. Inițial, se credea că 49 dintre pasageri au supraviețuit; însa, s-a dezvăluit mai târziu că un membru al taberei (Ethan Rom) nu provenea de fapt din avionul prăbușit. Porțiunea terminală a avionului s-a prăbușit în ocean pe partea cealaltă a insulei față de porțiunea centrală. Această cea de-a treia secțiune a avut 23 de supraviețuitori. Partea din față a avionului, cu părți din clasa Business și carlinga, s-au prăbușit în junglă, nu prea departe de rămășițele fuselajului; dintre pasagerii acestei porțiuni a avionului, singurul care a supraviețuit impactului inițial a fost pilotul. Părți diferite au fost de asemenea împrăștiate prin junglă, inclusiv un set complet de scaune găsite într-o baltă mică aflată sub o cascadă și Jack Shepherd, care s-a trezit înghiontit într-un stand de bambus la marginea junglei imediat după prăbușirea avionului. Spre finalul sesonului 2, Desmond Hume bănuiește că acel câmp electromagnetic creat prin "neapăsarea butonului" era de vină pentru prăbușirea avionului, după cum, conform jurnalelor computerului de la The Pearl, fenomenul de "eșec al sistemului" s-a întâmplat în Septembrie 22, 2004, dată la care s-a prăbușit avionul (de asemenea, data premeirei seriei "Lost").

Personajul Hurley crede că avionul s-a prăbușit datorită ghinionului care pare să-l însoțească după câștigarea la loterie cu Mitologia Lost#Numerele/"numerele".

A Few Of Our Favorite Dog-Friendly Public Campgrounds
Wrights Lake
Photo Credit: @lillytheaussie
Almost every public campground in California is dog-friendly, but that doesn't mean your dog is welcome to hike with you, even on a leash. At most state and national parks, dogs are confined to paved paths, fire roads and picnic areas. If those rules don't fit your free-roaming style, take heart: There are plenty of other places to camp and hike with your best four-legged friend. Here are two campground-rich areas in Northern California that get the DogTrekker paw of approval.
Crystal Basin Recreation Area, Eldorado National Forest: Five lakes with 25 dog-friendly campgrounds and 700 sites between them dot this 85,000-acre recreation area stretching up Ice House Road from Highway 50 east of Pollock Pines. The lakes are managed by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District for water storage and power generation, and each has its own personality.
Union Valley and Ice House, at the bottom of the chain, are the largest and very popular for camping, fishing, boating and biking on paved trails. Families with kids love Gerle Creek Reservoir, the next lake up the road, for its fishing pier, no-motorboats policy, large campsites and "pirate island" in the center of the smallish lake. Loon Lake and Wrights Lake are granite-bound, high-altitude bodies of water with trails leading into dog-friendly Desolation Wilderness Area.
All campsites and 117 miles of trails in the Crystal Basin are dog-friendly, but watch out for bears! Campground reservations are handled through recreation.gov. Stop at the information center/ranger station on the way up for a map, and bring everything you need for the duration of your stay, as the upper lakes are quite removed from "civilization." Some sites will be closed a month here and a month there for improvements; check here for a schedule.
Carson Pass Area: Sierra Nevada scenery doesn't get much prettier than along Highway 88 over Carson Pass. And because most of the lakes and trails in the area are on national forest lands, you won't encounter as many restrictions on dogs as at state and national parks. One caveat: This is high-altitude country, and unless you have a high-altitude sleeping bag, bring an extra blanket or two and soft, warm hat to keep you toasty at night.
The gem of all the Carson Pass campgrounds, in our DogTrekking opinion, is Woods Lake Campground in the Eldorado National Forest. This first-come, first-served gem is set among Ponderosa pines on a pretty paddling lake off Highway 88. The main attraction: Quick access to a 6-mile loop trail that qualifies as one of the most gorgeous hikes in the northern Sierra. The 25-site campground, open July through October, is set at 8,200 feet, so you'll want to acclimate for a day or two before setting out.
Hike the loop in a clockwise direction for quick reward with views of Little Round Top, a volcanic peak specked with snow into late summer (you can also climb it, if you're so inclined). The trail continues to Lake Winnemucca and an area known for stupendous wildflower displays in early July. The Round Top-Winnemucca Loop is in the rugged Mokelumne Wilderness. Dogs must be leashed in the campground and also in the vicinity of Winnemucca, where you'll encounter many other hikers on the trail. Come midweek to snag a spot, and have a backup plan.
Other campgrounds in the vicinity include Kit Carson, Kirkwood, Silver Lake East and West, Caples Lake, Hope Valley and several sites around Blue Lake, which is managed by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Summer cabin resorts in the area include Kit Carson Lodge and Plasse's, the latter of which also has a campground for tents and RVs.

A: for me I hadn't add the authtoken so
ngrok config add-authtoken <token>

solved it.

A: question has been solved;
for other people experiencing same issue:
ngrok has been updated, refer to the documentation for changes.
if you don't want to update use pyngrok.


"Don't Panic" by Coldplay. It's a music vid of the season finale of "Rescue Me" on FX. I have a whole series planned for all my fandoms to Coldplay songs.
VOERGASM, I'm going to be an American Hero, or at least citizen.


Almost finished with my travelogue from summer – thanks for still tuning in! Our next to last stop on our Mediterranean tour was the town of Split, Croatia. I'll be honest, in the midst of researching Italy and Greece, Croatia slipped off our plate and we arrived with no idea of what to expect. We discovered an absolutely gorgeous seaside town with fascinating ruins and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. I learned that Croatia's Dalmatian coast, which frames the eastern edge of the Adriatic sea, has been a desirable vacation spot for centuries, due its sunny weather and picturesque landscapes. We arrived on a particularly stunning day, a perfect postcard of cloud-strewn sky and turquoise waters.
Split was a vacation spot favored by no less by Roman emperors – the emperor Diocletian decided to build a palace near this once tiny, ancient town for his retirement. Diocletian's Palace, a sprawling, open-air complex, still stands today, and in fact has become the center of Split. It is a remarkably well preserved example of Roman architecture, all the more so since it is still actively used by the town's citizens; after the fall of the Roman empire and the departure of the Romans, the locals moved into the palace and built homes, shops, and restaurants inside.
It was fascinating to wander between the winding byways of the palace, which are now lined with stores and apartments and function like city streets and alleyways.
A statue set into the palace walls.
Here you can see that part of the palace has been transformed into an underground shopping arcade – pretty cool.
We caught this little guy watching us from the rooftops.
I love this gorgeously colored colonnade in Republic Square, one of the many piazzas in Split.
Display of pastries at a local bakery. Croatian baked goods seem to be related to Hungarian/Austrian pastry – lots of strudels, tortes, and nut-and-cream filled cakes.
We had a sort of berry-topped custard pastry – very fresh and clean flavors.
We also came across this store selling Croatian-made chocolates.
We sampled some of their chocolate bars – I enjoyed the lavender honey and the olive oil. Too bad they're not available here!
There was a farmers' market going on just outside the palace. Look at the gorgeous peaches!
The Dalmatian coast is famed for its seafood. Here are some beautiful fresh sardines at the farmers' market.
We had one of the town's signature dishes, a seafood risotto, for lunch.
The restaurant we ate in had this quirky and amusing "tennis-haiku" hung on the wall.
We were definitely sad to leave Croatia – there was so much to explore and we felt like we'd just scratched the surface. Not to mention I'd have loved a few more days in such stunning surroundings.
I meant to make a Croatian dessert for this post, but I haven't had time to properly test out the recipes I found, so instead I thought I'd share some treats I made for the newest member of our family. Sorting through the many dog treat recipes out there, I discovered one that used pumpkin, which seemed pretty appropriate for this time of year. There's also peanut butter in there, which makes them nigh-irresistible to dogs – especially ours. She wouldn't leave the kitchen while these guys were baking in the oven!
Snickers staking out her spot in front of the oven. She won't let what's baking inside get away.
Doing her best post on her hind legs for a bit of squirrel-shaped dog biscuit. She loves chasing squirrels – although I don't think she really cared what shape these treats were in!
Just one stop left on our Mediterranean vacation – Venice!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer bowl. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together.
Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to 1/4" inch thick. Add a little water if the dough is very stiff, or a little flour if it is too soft and sticky.
Use a cookie cutter to cut out desired shapes. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the cookies are dry to the touch. You can bake them longer if you want them to be completely dry and hard, but I prefer them to be slightly soft and chewy.
Let cool on wire rack before serving to doggies.
we were in Croatia this summer, and we visited Split as well. It was a little weird to visit it now that has become such a tourist destination, I remember it when I was a little girl an nobody was in town. I have to say though that visiting it as an adult I was blown away by the size of the palace and the fact that it was maintained by the fact that people made it their home. Our favorite destination was the fish market, with the man selling inside and the women selling outside, very interesting. In all our wandering we didn't see the chocolate shop unfortunately.
Forgot to mention that your dog is really cute. I am slowly warming up to the idea of adopting a dog too, my kids have been begging for years.
Our beautiful daughter-in-law's parents are from Croatia so I have heard many wonderful stories about how gorgeous it is. And Eve's dad Vinko is a fabulous cook so I have been fortunate enough to taste some of their cuisine. Our son is a history buff so when he and his wife and entire family went to a wedding there a couple of years ago he came home with so many stories to tell us. They stayed in a home up on a hillside overlooking the Adriatic!
I had to write about travel in Croatia for a project a few years ago and my research made me put it near the top of my "must visit" list.
Oooh! Croatia is on my list of places to go! Especially Split and Dubrovnik!! Lovely photos!
You were in my birth town and I'm absplutely thrilled you had a wonderful time 🙂 Diocletian palace is amazing place, old ruins next to civilization 🙂 Amazing photos! I'm sad you didn't see Solin (old Roman city, Salona, just 3-5 km outside of Split).
Thanks so much Maja, I didn't know much about Croatia but it was beautiful! I wish I could have stayed longer and I'd love to go back and explore more!
Great pictures! Croatia seems really beautiful. I look forward to going.
THANK YOU!!! I so appreciate this site. This is the information I was looking for.
I love the dog treat recipe and it has been a hit with the pooches, my only question is how should they be stored? My treats tend to go bad after a few days, much to my boxers dismay. He loves them, he lays in the kitchen waiting for them when I bake them.
I would probably store them in an airtight container for a couple weeks. They are pretty dry so I don't they would spoil that quickly, and my dog has never hesitated to eat them even when they're a bit old!
Any idea where could i buy Croatian chocolates in SFO? Would love try these. etsy offers nice variety but i couldn't find these there are as well. I tried etsy alternatives as well. But none of these competitors have these chocolates.
That's a good question. I don't know of any specific places, but there are many shops that carry chocolates from around the world, such as Fog City News and CocoaBella Chocolates. I would go there and talk to the staff. Good luck!
I was told that wheat flour is hard on a dog's digestive system from our US rescue group. Oat, almond and rice flours were recommended to us (we've adopted 4 'kids' from the Missouri and Texas Italian Greyhound Rescue groups) and they love the almond and oat flours. As for rice flour, my Irish Grandma used sweet rice flour and A-P flour for her shortbread and the combo of flours mads a superb dessert.
Thanks for your input. I have not heard that about wheat flour so thanks for sharing. I do know that dogs should not be eating a lot of grains anyways and should have a mainly meat-based diet, so these are definitely meant to be a treat. Thanks for the heads up and for offering some useful alternative flours!
None of our adopted dogs had ever seen or eaten a fresh fruit or vegetable and most of them can be adapted to a dog's diet. I had to m/w slices of carrots as several of these dogs had few teeth, & of course, apple peels, potato peels and such need to be removed. All our dogs LOVE tomatoes, fresh, cooked without any seasoning. Chocolate & avacadoes are NOT on a dog's diet; poison to them! Too bad but that means more for us. Ha.
Online you should be able to find what is and isn't on a dog's diet. I make a salt-free spaghetti sauce that is a favorite of the dogs & us alike. Lastly, make sure that whatever real foods you feed them is neither cold nor hot. Close to room temp. is best for them. Good luck!
I found these on Damn Delicious, who found them on Use Real Butter, who found them on your site! I am trying to find the original source of the recipe and you mentioned that you found this recipe after a search. Do you mind sharing the original link/author? Thank you!
I think I adapted them from a recipe on allrecipes – just search for "pumpkin peanut butter dog treats". Thanks!

News On Iran & Its NeighboursSyriaIran Building Rocket Factory in Syria
News On Iran & Its NeighboursSyria
Iran Building Rocket Factory in Syria
London, 16 Aug – The Iranian Regime is building a long-range rocket factory in Syria, according to a report on Israeli television.
The Channel 2 television news report, which aired on Tuesday, showed satellite images of the site under construction in northwest Syria near to the Mediterranean coastal town of Baniyas.
It said that the construction indicated that explosives would be stored there and compared images of buildings that it said were of a rocket factory near Tehran to structures at the Syrian site to showcase the strong resemblance between them.
This news comes less than a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the Iranian Regime was seeking to increase their control in Syria as so-called Islamic State fighters were driven out of their Syrian strongholds.
Netanyahu made clear that Israel was closely watching for any untoward developments and would act strongly against any threat from the mullahs' Regime.
He said: "Our policy is clear: We vehemently oppose the military build up by Iran and its proxies, primarily Hezbollah, in Syria and we will do whatever it takes to protect Israel's security."
Netanyahu is a major critic of the 2015 nuclear deal that six world powers [the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, and Russia] struck with the Iranian Regime, which promised sanctions relief for the Middle East country in exchange a temporary slowdown in its development of nuclear weapons.
He argued that the agreement fails to prevent Iran from gaining nuclear weapons in as little as fifteen years, which they will most certainly use against their sworn enemy Israel.
Iran claims that their programme is for peaceful purposes only but when have nuclear weapons ever been used peacefully?
Over the past several months, the US has imposed new economic sanctions against the Iranian Regime for issues not related to their nuclear weapons programme (like their use of ballistic missiles, support for terrorism, and human rights abuses).
The US has also made clear that the Regime's "malign activities" in the Middle East were undercutting any "positive contributions" from the 2015 accord curbing its nuclear program.
Donald Trump is another ardent critic of the nuclear deal for being too soft on Iran. On the campaign trail, he repeatedly promised to tear the agreement up but as of yet, he has not.
Israeli intelligence officials will discuss the situation regarding Iran's involvement in Syria and Lebanon with U.S. counterparts in Washington this week, according to US media.

This is a deductive argument based on scripture. The truth of these passages cannot be denied by any serious believer, they are central to the faith of both Jews and Christians. If both passages are true the deductive argument stands. God raises up "all" those bowed before him and "all" people will in fact bow before him.
The Greek word helkó (draw) literally means "drag" (Strong's 1670). In other words Christ was saying that if he rises from dead he is going to literally drag all people to himself.
Did Christ rise from the dead? Is Christ going to drag all people to himself as he said he would? I believe so.

I want to protect 2 18650 batteries with single DW01. The problem is how to increase the protection voltage on DW01 . I have read that I should use voltage divider on VCC pin. I just want to make sure 18650 wont turn into hand grenade.
If it had the capability to really protect two cells in series, they would've marketed it that way.
So, while you can certainly sense a situtation that is definitely overvoltage for both, you won't be able to sense the (likely) situation that one cell failed and you're now overloading the second.
So, your approach is inherently bad, and you should not use a DW01 to protect two cells. Simple as that. Wrong tool for the job.

Anyone had this come up yet telling them their mac is infected with a virus and wants to run a scan?
Only thing is, usually these addresses bring up loads of scam warnings on Google, This only brings up one, that says it's 100% safe on Scam Adviser.
It isn't! It's obviously a scam when you press the scan button. Don't!
You shouldn't be getting popups like that.
Run MalwareBytes for Mac to remove any infections.
I'm not doubting you get them. It's likely you've got something on the system causing the problem -- unwanted add-ons, or PUPs like MacKeeper.
Does the problem persist after running MalwareBytes?

Alan Moyzis provided this photo of CAP 2-7-2 taken near the end of its existence … maybe as late as April, 1971. The only man remaining from earlier group photos is Casey "Country" Roach who is third from the right in the back row. Moyzis is wearing a jungle hat and kneeling third from the left in the middle row. Neale Wright is sitting on the far right in the front row holding an M-16. To the left of Wright is Ray Nischke cradling an M-79 grenade launcher with his left arm. Mike "Frenchy" Wilson is kneeling on one knee on the left end of the front row. The others are unidentified. Former CAP Marines viewing this photo are puzzled by the number of men shown (16) and the berets worn by 11 of them. CAPs were typically short-handed during the last few months of the program, sometimes making do with eight Marines. So this photo may actually show two CAPs. And berets were never authorized headgear, but Alan remembers wearing them with CAP badges attached.
