Working Women Advocates: HTTPS and the 50 Million Ways to Style React Components
In case you missed it, I've taken on the roles of both CTO and a developer for an organization called Working Women Advocates. One of my classmates from Fullstack began the project while we were in the program, and we're now working towards making it an official non-profit organization. Our mission is to create a safe and secure place for women to find and connect with advocates and allies to help them through the challenges of being a woman in the workplace, whether they're actively facing hardships like discrimination or harassment, or they just need a friendly and sympathetic/empathetic ear to vent to.
We've brought on a project manager, have implemented an agile workflow, and have finally started setting deadlines for ourselves for the development process, so things have been moving along!
Setting Up TLS/SSL/HTTPS for a Custom Domain
One of the first things we wanted to do was obtain a TLS/SSL certificate and serve our entire site over HTTPS via our custom domain name. Up to this point, we had a basic static landing page hosted at our custom domain name, and our actual app was hosted on Heroku with a Heroku domain. As you can imagine, this was inconvenient to maintain and to move forward in the development process with. We couldn't change anything on the front-end of our Heroku app because it was going to be overridden anyway by our current landing page.
I did a lot of research into the different ways of going about this; from getting a certificate from LetsEncrypt and attempting to install it ourselves to using Heroku's (at the time) beta SSL service to using Cloudflare's free SSL service. We eventually decided to go with Cloudflare with our app hosted on Heroku because it was free, easy to set up and use, and widely used and trusted, despite recent news.
Setting this up was much easier than the research suggested. It essentially consisted of:
Creating a Cloudflare account
Pulling our domain records from our domain provider (which Cloudflare simplified by pulling everything automatically)
Connecting our Heroku app to our custom domain
Adding a CNAME record in Cloudflare to point to our Heroku app
(Somewhere in there, we also added a Cloudflare rule that said to always use HTTPS and redirect from HTTP if necessary.)
...and voila, not even a few hours later, our Heroku app was accessible via our custom domain name and we were encrypted!
Styling in React-land
Our MVP was built using React, Material Design Lite components, and vanilla CSS. Our landing page was a static site built using Bootstrap and jQuery. Somehow, we had to get our static landing page into our MVP so that our "Join Us" and "Donate" buttons were available, in addition to all of the quality information that Rachel had put on the landing page.
Our temporary solution: put Bootstrap and jQuery into our MVP, stick the landing page in one giant component, and let that be that for a little while. Once we had that in place, we had to decide on how we wanted to proceed in the future in terms of our styling, and what we wanted to do about the slightly bloated mess that our codebase turned into.
Turns out, styling in React-land is no simple task. There are approximately 50 million ways to do it: vanilla CSS, Sass, BEM, atomic, inline, CSS modules, styled components, the list goes on. Unfortunately, Bootstrap and jQuery don't seem to be great options with React; because they operate on the real DOM, and React has its virtual DOM, those two can get out of sync and that can get sticky in some situations. I've read about ways to use jQuery inside of React components, and I think the idea is intriguing, but fancy animations and DOM interaction events can happen later. We needed to have some base to work off of before we can experiment with that.
I've used inline styles before and liked the modularity of it, but felt meh about the fact that it's so limiting (e.g. no pseudoclasses and fun things like that, and Radium only gets you so far). I'm particularly interested in CSS modules, but I also haven't quite figured out how to use it successfully in conjunction with react-bootstrap or material-ui yet. (I don't think it's quite necessary for us, at least not yet, to create our own grid/components/etc. from scratch, so something that already exists would be nice.)
We're meeting about this to discuss how we want to proceed, so decision TBD! (Also mildly hilarious fact: I'm attending a meetup that's solely focused on styling in React in a few days, so it appears that I'm not the only one who's confused and maybe slightly overwhelmed by all of this.)


BUFFALO – Ryan Miller's decision to sign with the Anaheim Ducks centered, in part, on his desire to be closer to his family.
The former Sabres goalie and his wife, Noureen DeWulf, an actress, have lived in the Los Angeles area with their 3-year-old son, Bodhi, for years. Naturally, coming home has eased some of the pressures that accompany the hectic NHL life.
Still, the Ducks often go on long road trips. They finished a five-game swing Tuesday with Miller in goal, just his second appearance as a visitor at KeyBank Center.
When the Ducks leave town, Bodhi, of course, misses his father.
Yes, Bodhi really gets so angry he hangs up on his father.
Following three seasons with Vancouver, Miller signed a two-year, $4 million contract with the Ducks. The 15-year veteran, who was traded to St. Louis in 2013-14, only played here once with the Canucks, a 3-2 loss Nov. 7, 2015.
Tuesday was Miller's fourth straight start. The former Vezina Trophy winner made 33 saves in Monday's 7-4 loss in Toronto.
With back-to-back games, Miller, 37, the face of the Sabres for much of his 12-year tenure, couldn't do much in town.
"I looked at the schedule and saw we were playing back-to-back and knew it would kind of be tough to catch up with some people," Miller said.
At an advance age, Miller has tended some solid goal at times as John Gibson's backup much of the season. He began Tuesday 6-4-5 with a 2.67 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 18 appearances.
How long would Miller like to keep playing?
"Most of the people I talk to who are retired say, 'Make them kick you out,'" he said.
At this point, 53 games into a lost season, why not keep playing defenseman Victor Antipin? Plenty of Sabres won't be back next year. Why not use the final 29 contests to evaluate the Russian rookie? He might have a future here.
Like any newcomer, Antipin, a KHL All-Star last season, has struggled. Still, he has showcased glimpses of becoming the slick puck-mover the Sabres envisioned when they signed him to a one-year contract last year.
During the team's recent 3-0 road trip, Antipin, who was scratched Tuesday, stood out, playing perhaps his best NHL games.
"I really liked the games he played up in Edmonton and Vancouver," Sabres coach Phil Housley said. "He was take-charge, he was very noticeable, and then I think he got away from that.
Housley dressed 6-foot-5 defenseman Justin Falk instead of Antipin against the Ducks, a heavy team.
Antipin, 25, has compiled five assists and a minus-2 rating in 29 games this season.
Notes: The Sabres also scratched defenseman Josh Gorges. … Center Johan Larsson completed his two-game suspension Tuesday. … Winger Benoit Pouliot played his 600th NHL game.

Discussion in 'Networking' started by rpndt1, Feb 1, 2005.
What are your opinions on setting up an FTP in Windows XP? It seems pretty straight forward to do, but what are the benefits worth the risks. Are there any (relatively simple) ways to minimize the security threats. I am have never done this before and I want to set this up as a project/convenience. So. any special recommendation for FTP software?
There are alot of good software items available. Personally I use Serv-U. Some of the main things to consider are the following.
Port 21 is the standard FTP port. Everyone knows this so changing that as the standard connection point is a good thing. On the downside some FTP clients have problems iconnecting if its not on 21 so you have to be careful. Make sure whichever connection port you enable is open on your firewall or forwarded on your router.
Remember that port is just to "establish a connection" then what you want to do is open a series of ports. 1 port per user you want to have on your FTP so if you want 30 people open 30 ports in your firewall or router and forward it to your PC running the FTP. (Any ports will do as long as they don't interfere with another program I.E. don't pick anything with the major programs like port 80, 113, and so fourth). Then within the FTP software you enable those ports.
In all setting up a basic FTP can take a matter of a few minutes (mine took me 30 mins to install the software, forward the ports, setup 10 accounts) but if you want you can get really creative with your FTP and put in directory prompts where it will pop up messages on the clients when they change dirs and whatnot.
One main thing to remember is you need to know your WAN IP to get in. I however use Dyndns.org and I install a small program on my PC it updates the service and I can get in no matter if the IP changes.
Something nice about Serv-U is you can install a Manager portion of the software on any pc anywhere and as long as you know all the connection and admin info you can make any FTP changes you want.
I just stumbled upon this and I can think of great possibilities for this (at least for accessing my files from school, etc). The port/ip thing might get a bit hairy for me, as I have never had luck with portforwarding and ip configuration in the past. But, I can always fall back to TSG or you, since you seem to know what you are doing.
I downloaded Serv U corporate (which turns into personal after 30 days)...it has enough features for now...I might buy the full edition if necessary. I will set it up as soon as I get a chance.
How do I know what the "big ports" are or is this just a common knowledge kind of thing?
...and why one port per user? Can't they all access through one? What are the advantages to setting it up that way?
I would say the easiest way is to look at what they have and modify it slightly I think it starts off at 7000 and can go up but what I usually do is look at the most commonly used ports and just pick something outside that field. The main thing to remember is if you forward the ports and something else breaks connectivity wise I.E. and internet game (those tend to force the most amount of opened ports to play) to change it to another set of ports.
Think of it this way each connected user has to have 1 dedicated port for information to go in and out of. You have your man connection port then it kind of "shuffles" the connected user over to one of the other ports. If you have 10 people you technically need 11 ports opn the connecting port 21 (or whatever you change it to) and then 1 port it shuffles the connection to.
While I am not being technical about how this works its an easy way to visualize.


The laboratory has a flexible scope of accreditation pursuant to a list of methods, with regard to parameters and area of testing. This means that the laboratory is accredited on an overall "technical level" (e.g HPLC, GC, TLC, etc.).
The laboratory has the possibility to vary the technical details of these methods depending on the tests performed.

Amid Virus Spike, Rural Oregon Lawmakers Ask Governor To Lift Restrictions
By Emily Cureton • Nov 23, 2020
In June, a dozen county commissioners from less populated parts of Oregon gathered in Prairie City to discuss "battle plans" in response to Gov. Kate Brown's restrictions related to the pandemic. Those officials ultimately followed the restrictions, but new tensions surfaced this week as more limits on businesses and social life went into place.
Emily Cureton / OPB
Originally published on November 23, 2020 5:43 am
The same day Oregon tightened restrictions due to surging coronavirus cases, more than 50 Republican state lawmakers and county officials asked Democratic Gov. Kate Brown to let restaurants, bars, schools and churches stay open.
"Further shutdowns are not sustainable. We must adapt our Phases to allow for therapeutic remedies that appear to be on the horizon," reads the Nov. 18 letter. On Thursday, the day after the letter was sent, Oregon reported 1,225 new and presumed cases of COVID-19 in a single day, along with 20 deaths — a state record in each category.
The coalition of lawmakers shows Brown may have an even more difficult road this time around getting rural areas to comply with her executive orders, even as hospital beds east of the Cascades fill with sick patients, and many health leaders support the restrictions.
The elected officials asking Brown to reverse course represent 22 Oregon counties, which together account for nearly half of the state's coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic, and slightly more than half of all reported deaths, according to Oregon Health Authority data.
The letter to Brown bullets four priorities. Top of the list is keeping the hospitality industry, restaurants and bars open," followed by a call for schools "to be allowed to fully re-open for in-classroom learning, and.. extracurricular activities," then, a request for state agencies like the Department of Motor Vehicles to get back to normal, and lastly: "Release our churches and places of worship."
Brown's office did not respond to emailed requests for comment about the letter.
State Sen. Lynn Findley points out he and his colleagues aren't demanding specific policies.
"It comes from a sense of frustration of being absolutely shut out and just handed down what you can and cannot do," said the Republican from Malheur County, whose signature tops the roster of 15 state lawmakers, and 34 county commissioners to back the letter.
Findley's sprawling Eastern Oregon senate district contains areas among the state's lowest case counts, but other areas in the district have the state's highest rates of infection.
Findley dismissed concerns that the region's health care system is in danger because of the virus.
"We're not having the issue of dealing with hospital capacity in Malheur County," Findley said. "Our overflow is in Idaho, and they're having some capacity issues."
Idaho's average number of new daily cases in a week has increased by 64% since the start of November. The state's rural hospitals are transferring record numbers of COVID-19 patients from within the state, as first responders brace for worse conditions. One rural hospital recently had 19 staff members out sick one day, according to the Idaho Statesman. Meanwhile, the state has few restrictions and no statewide mask mandate.
"Idaho has taken a completely different approach. Whether that's good, bad, or indifferent, I don't know. Ask me in a couple of years and I'll tell you all about it," Findley said, adding that Oregon contact tracing efforts are thwarted by what is an otherwise porous border, where many people are intimately connected through commerce and social ties, despite having wildly different government responses to COVID-19.
According to Findley, "Daily life can't go on as we've known it," but Brown's top-down decision making is fueling exasperation and noncompliance.
He cited the "governor's mask mandate," as an example, saying he personally believes in the importance of wearing a mask, but that his constituents need to support that voluntarily in order for the policy to be effective.
"So that it's: 'Masks are the right thing to do,' instead of: 'Well, the governor's making me wear a mask and nobody's gonna make me do anything' ... What mandates do, without involvement and participation in the discussion, is create anarchy," Findley said.
Findley questioned the health threat posed to very remote places like Jordan Valley, versus the social cost of closing a single restaurant that is a pillar of community life. Meanwhile, the Vale-based lawmaker said he hasn't personally dined out in months.
"My wife and I are the primary caregivers for my 99-year-old mother. I'm not comfortable with people coming up to my house to see us," he said, adding: "It is an individual choice, a local area choice."
For all of Central and much of Eastern Oregon, severely ill COVID-19 patients are funneled to one hospital in Bend. Its average number of daily COVID-19 patients doubled this month, according to St. Charles Chief Operating Officer Iman Simmons.
"We have been asked to accept about a half a dozen patients from other parts of the state," Simmons said of the recent surge.
"I'm thankful for the governor's orders … We need to be very cautious with our availability of hospital beds."
The pressure is even greater for St. Charles because it is a regional hub for all kinds of acute medical attention. "We have to be available for everyone, whether you have a heart attack, stroke, or a ski injury," Simmons said.
Some 200 miles southeast of Bend, Lake District hospital is one of many small, rural facilities sending acutely ill patients to St. Charles.
Chief executive officer Charles Tveit said he supports the governor's latest round of restrictions, too.
"In our rural and remote settings like Eastern Oregon, it is easier to believe that we're not susceptible," Tveit said. "But a couple of weeks ago, we did have a burst of positive tests from a birthday party, about 11 people."
That seemingly small scale outbreak can have a domino effect in a vast region with just 30 ICU beds. Tveit said he also worries about staffing issues like those seen in Idaho.
"It would be devastating if we get a lot of employees that start getting sick."
The electeds who contacted Brown seeking to do away with statewide restrictions represent areas where the wounds of the pandemic vary greatly. Some communities are weathering outbreak after outbreak, while others have seen little to no disease, but still suffer economic and social hardships of prevention measures.
In Deschutes County, where St. Charles is located and virus cases have sharply increased since the end of October, two commissioners signed the letter urging Brown to back off her executive orders.
Commissioner Tony DeBone was among a dozen elected leaders from central and eastern Oregon who met during the first wave of restrictions, maskless, to discuss how to undermine the governor's lockdown. Nine of the commissioners at that meeting are now part of the broad rural coalition asking Brown to meet and "consider a more realistic approach."
DeBone said he now supports a mask mandate, and like Findley, described the coalition's letter as a sign of frustration.
"Our authority basically has been usurped by the governor," DeBone said.
He called the recent surge in cases "a serious medical situation," and said he would support customized restrictions on certain types of activities, to be decided at the local level.
"We could be more restrictive, but not less when the governor puts executive orders in place," DeBone said.
Some of DeBone's constituents back the effort to resist new restrictions.
Following executive orders was part of her business plan for buying a restaurant in Deschutes County in October, said Kayla Jeffrey, co-owner of the Pump House Bar and Grill in Terrebonne.
"We really wanted to kind of see if we could work around the risk," Jeffrey said, describing how they installed expensive plexiglass and imposed limited capacity to launch seven weeks ago, only to have average daily sales shrivel by 90% after Wednesday's freeze took effect.
Jeffrey's own daughter contracted COVID-19, and recovered in a couple of weeks, she said. Meanwhile, another adult daughter has a compromised immune system.
"My daughter has the responsibility to protect herself. I do not feel that the community that she puts herself into is responsible for protecting her," Jeffrey said.
Her philosophy: businesses should do what they can to minimize risk, and let consumers choose to be patrons or not. Jeffrey is expecting to buy a second restaurant down the block, two days before Brown's latest executive order is set to end.
"If we shut down the economy for every single thing that could be a risk to us and others, we would not be this great state, this great country of America that we live in," she said.

In this portrayal of Nurses in War, I have attempted to depict not their duties, but rather the environment and locales in which they were to serve. It is intended to be suggestive, rather than a literal representation.
It begins with Florence Nightingale, known as the Lady with the Lamp, the driving force behind the establishment of modem military nursing practices. Her lamp symbolically guides generations of nurses toward future conflicts.
In the case of Australia that particular beginning was the Boer War of 1899, shown in the upper left of the painting it then filters down to the Gallipoli landings of World War 1, into Egypt and the tent conditions in which they lived on Lemnos Island through to the ruination of France and the Western Front.
In turn, the scene crosses to the lower Centre and right depicting two of the more infamous incidents of World War 2. The torpedoing of the hospital ship "Centaur' and it's Sole Surviving nurse, Sr. Ellen Savage, shown on a raft tending the injured survivors despite Serious injuries to herself. I have used her example as typical of the devotion to duty exemplified by the Nursing Service.
The other incident shown is the murder of 21 shipwrecked nurses on the shore of Banka Island near Sumatra. Although wounded, Sr. Vivian Bullwinkel alone survived and along with fellow nurses was to suffer 3 years in a Japanese prison camp. Only here in the painting do I identify an enemy, the Japanese, not for an act of warfare, but for the crime of murder. St. Bullwinkel is shown symbolically bathed in the light of life, leaving the Scene and bearing witness, which she ultimately did.
The story then proceeds up the right-hand side to Korea, Vietnam and on the burning oil dericks of the Gulf War, where our nurses were to serve under the authority of the United Nations and for which they have continued to serve to the present day.
Combat is not depicted, being irrelevant to a nurses duty, it is instead symbolized by the black hole into which the doomed "Centaur is about to plunge, flanked by the Crumbling ruins of France on the side, to the fall of Singapore and the ruins of Hiroshima on the other. From this abyss of war emerge the sick and the wounded into the arms of the ever devoted Nurse.
Wilma was born in Glenorchy Victoria. She trained as a nurse at the Warrnambool Base Hospital, Victoria and enlisted in the Australian Army Nursing Service on the 3 July 1941 serving in the pacific theatre during WW11 with the 13 AGH. With the fall of Singapore Wilma was one of many to be evacuated on the "Vyner Brooke". The ship was attacked and sunk by the Japanese and after 16 hours in the water, she and some other survivors finally made it ashore where they became prisoners of the Japanese. From February 1942 Wilma was held in POW camps on Banka Island and Sumatra until she was repatriated in September 1945. Wilma was discharged from the army on 5 July 1946 and continued nursing at the Heidelberg Military Hospital for Some time. In 1989 Wilma received an Advance Australia Award and was one of three recipients in 1998 to be presented with an ANZAC of the YEAR AWARD.
Patricia Vines was educated at the Catholic Ladies College, East Melbourne; in 1952 she became a registered nurse at St. Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, registered midwife 1954 and in 1972 was granted a diploma in Nursing Administration (Royal College of Nursing, Australia). She Was Honorary Nursing Sister to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11 (QHNS) 1971-1980. Associate of the Royal Red Cross (ARRC) promoted to member of the Royal Red Cross (RRC) in 1981. Recipient of the Queen Elizabeth 11 Jubilee Medal and the Australian Service Medal 1945-75.
From 1959 till 1962 Patricia was a civilian nursing sister at HMAS Cerburus. In 1964 she was commissioned a Lieutenant in the Royal Australian Navy Nursing Service and served at HMAS Leeuwin, W.A., HMAS Tarangau, PNG and HMAS Harman, ACT. In 1968 she was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and appointed Matron, RAN Hospital HMAS Penguin, NSW, in 1971 she was promoted to (Commander) Principal Matron and Director of Nursing (Navy). As well, she was Matron RAN Hospital HMAS Cerberus and staff of Director of Naval Health Melbourne. In 1978 she was transferred to Navy Office, Canberra, ACT, as Director of Naval Services, Navy, with the Director General Naval Health Service. Commander Vines retired in 1980.
Helen Cook joined the Royal Australian Air Force Nursing Service (RAAFNS) in 1966 and was posted to 6RAAF Hospital Laverton and Point Cook for Initial Officer Training and Medical Evacuation Training. During the Vietnam War Helen Was posted to RAAF Edinburgh, SA and then to 3RAAF Hospital, Butterworth Air Force Base, Malaya, where she undertook general nursing duties and air medical evacuations from Vung Tau to Butterworth then on to Richmond Air Force Base, Australia.
In 1969 she was discharged and was married at the RAAF Chapel Butterworth later returning to Australia. In 1979 Helen re-joined the RAAF and was posted to Butterworth where she was offered a position with 3RAAF in the general Wards later being appointed IC Maternity Unit. During this time she was awarded a Certificate of Outstanding Service. Helen finally retired from the RAAF in 1996.
Dot Angell trained at the Alfred Hospital Melbourne graduating in 1961. As part of Australia's obligations under SEATO (South East Asian Treaty Organisation) aid programme the Australian Government provided volunteer civilian Surgical/medical teams to work in four provincial Centres in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Approximately 123 civilian nurses served on these teams from 1964 to 1972.
Dot Angel's signature represents all those Australian civilian nurses who have served in theatres of War and at the Same time recognising the civilian training of those nurses who then choose to enter military Service.


Reid: "When The Media Rolls Over For These Modern Day Robber Barons, As It's Doing Now, Our Country's In Trouble"
HARRY REID (D-NV): Mr. President, over the last several months, the Koch brothers have been on a public relations campaign. This Koch propaganda campaign has accelerated over the past few weeks.
The Kochs want everyone to believe they're not the ones rigging the system to benefit themselves and their wealthy friends. The Koch brothers are spending their vast wealth holding newspaper and television interviews on their propaganda campaign. But in spite all of their efforts, this Koch media tour has failed to bury one simple truth: the Koch brothers are trying to buy America.
The Kochs have also procured a media that is intimidated by their billions -- too intimidated to hold them accountable. Consider yesterday's interview on MSNBC's Morning Joe show. This is classic, listen. Here are some of the questions that Joe and Mika asked the Koch brothers. Joe Scarborough asked, "It's hard to find people in New York, liberals -- we were talking about this before -- liberals or conservatives alike, who haven't been touched by your graciousness, whether its toward the arts or cancer research. Do you think you got that instinct from your mom?" Huh. Mika asked, "Sitting here in your childhood home" -- they were doing this interview in Topeka, Kansas -- "we have the Koch brothers, which was the good brother?" Another tough question. Joe then asked, "You guys both play rugby, right? Play together?"
Sometimes, most of the time, they weren't even questions, they were just compliments.
Wow, those were some really tough questions asked by the hosts of Morning Joe. That's tough journalism. Those questions are so easy, they may even qualify them to moderate the next Republican presidential debate. It seems that some journalists are determined not to get on the wrong side of the Koch brothers and their billions.
When the media rolls over for these modern day robber barons, as it's doing now, our country's in trouble.


The journey started well enough as we caught the train to Richmond – Mr Hg137 even got chatting to someone he recognised on the train (but only remembered her name as we left (tsk, tsk)).
We passed through a deserted Twickenham station and knowing that the Rugby World Cup was on, remarked "It'll be a lot busier this afternoon". A short walk through Richmond town centre, in that early morning when shopkeepers haven't quite got set up, but customers are buying to avoid the queues later.
The river on arrival was quiet. The summer was definitely over, hire boats were out of the water, being sanded, varnished and re-waterproofed. We wandered along the path, dodging the usual array of keep-fit enthusiasts to arrive at Richmond Lock.
To many people this lock is a surprise, as the river is tidal at this point and why would a lock be necessary? Apparently, about 100 years ago, the boat owners complained that the ebbing tide also took more river water out with it, leaving a very shallow body of water. A lock and weir was built to trap river water at low tide. For two hours either side of high tide, boats can 'ride the weir' in safety, but for the remaining time boats must use the lock (and, unusually, pay for the privilege!).
Richmond Lock – tide's out .. please pay!
Our first cache was on the bridge over the weir. The description mentioned both a key-safe (a slim magnetic playing card type cache) or a magnetic nano. Lots of metal, lot of of muggle dodging, lots of looking. Not a cache to be found. Not a good start!
We did notice that the tide must have been at low when we were at the lock as various sandbanks were visible in the river. Further down the path the tide was coming in quite quickly as many a rowing crew were being whisked upstream with barely an oar in the water.
We paused close to our next target ( Oh Deer! ).
…and it didn't improve at the next cache, Swamp Cache. Somewhere in the trees, down a bank, in a slightly muddy, overgrown area was a cache the size of a tennis ball. Was it on the half a dozen trees we examined ? Was it really in the swamp area with indeterminate depth of water just beyond ? We never found it. Three failures out of three – our caching trip was going very well indeed.
Our next two caches were remnants of an old 20-cache series set in October 2009. Now only two remain, numbers 16 and 19. Both, fortunately for us, easily found. But one was in desperate need of maintenance that it can't be long before only one cache will remain from this series. Looking at logs for the other 18 archived caches, the owner has been negligent with cache maintenance with the whole series. Such a shame the cache owner didn't maintain them, as the Thames Path does lend itself to lots of good hiding places !
The Thames Path passed behind Richmond Deer Park (hence the 'oh Deer' cache earlier, and Kew Gardens. On the other bank Syon House, was clearly visible. Syon House has been in the Percy family (Dukes of Northumberland) since 1594. Although it is still in private hands, it is open for visiting 3 days a week during the Summer.
One other great moment of interest (well to Mrs Hg137, a canal buff) was where an arm of the Grand Union of Canal meets with the Thames. From here one can travel all the way to Birmingham by boat!
The South Bank of the Thames was devoid of caches for some distance (presumably the 20 cache series had caches on this stretch), so we crossed to the Northern Bank. We had two objectives – firstly to see and photograph the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race Finishing Post. Second to find the cache yards from it!
The Boat Race Finishing Post SHOULD be here!
Firstly the finishing post had been removed and replaced by a temporary banner for that weekend's (non-University) racing. Secondly we didn't find the cache.. but we did find another cacher signing its log!
When we arrived at Ground Zero, the few people that were around were all connected with rowing. They were engaged with packing up, cleaning boats and the like. Except one lady, sitting on a stump, crouched over a piece of paper.
We enquired whether she was a geocacher and whether she was holding a geocache! We were right! A lovely Spanish lady with caching name of doways. Welcome to the UK – and hope you enjoy your caching adventures here!
So really we didn't find that cache either!
We completed our walk on the North bank crossing back to the South bank to catch a bus back to Richmond. The bus was late (we think due to Rugby traffic on its outbound route), and we just missed a train home. This gave us plenty of time on Richmond Station to watch hundreds of Welsh and Australian rugby fans descend on the platform, squeeze on the next train, and depart.
Suddenly the whole station reverberated with the singing of "Cwm Rhondda" – a huge sound got closer and closer. then just six Welshman arrived and they were responsible for the huge sound ! Amazing!
Our train arrived, and like all the others was jam-packed, so much so we could barely get on it! Get on it we did but we were so squashed on the 10 minute journey to Twickenham station we could barely breathe.
An unpleasant end, to a rather poor day's outing! Still there's always next time!
This was our first expedition since Mr Hg137's unfortunate arm-breaking accident with the Segway.
We were not sure what affect his injury would have, so we settled on a small circular walk starting from Clifton Hampden. Not many caches and not many miles but enough exercise to see what we might be able to do in the future.
Our first cache of the day was within yards of our car, called Pegasus Bridge. What made this unusual was the high terrain rating (4). The cache was hidden up a steep bank, with a 1:1 gradient. The bank was probably 20 feet high and protected a churchyard from any river floods.
Normally Mr Hg137 would have attempted this type of cache – but with only one real balancing arm available it really was too dangerous.
So Mrs Hg137 went for it!
Climbing slowly (in fairness that's her top speed), bending double both to avoid branches and match the slope, she soon made it to the top. Fortunately an easy find… then the tricky descent.
The path, such as it was, was tinder dry and even with a geo-pole, hands, walking boots and a few choice words the descent was made more slowly than the ascent. Fab effort by Mrs Hg137 – and one Mr Hg137 was really jealous (and pleased) of!
We crossed the Thames on Clifton Hampden bridge and followed the Thames Path towards Day's Lock near Little Wittenham.
Initially we walked though elbow-high stinging nettles (difficult to avoid with a broken arm), and then a field with ewes and lambs. We remarked that the ewes needed shearing as we could see the bulk of fleece on them really made look hot and bothered.
We passed several people also walking the Thames Path – some taking a couple of years, others just a few months. Our target was close to the base of Wittenham Clumps and it was reassuring that they became closer and closer as the walk progressed.
Our second cache was just before Day's Lock. Hidden in a tree trunk, but big enough for a trackable swap. Here we left our Smurf friend, Smoulicek, and retrieved Lady Bug. Given the excitement of the previous cache, a nice easy find!
We crossed the weir and lock at Day's Lock and watched three boats head upstream through it. The quality of boatmanship of the three crews at the lock was extremely variable ranging from the 'pro' to 'downright amateur'. The pros could 'tie up' and 'moor' without incident, the others took several efforts to even square up within the lock itself!
The Thames Path continued on the bank, but our circular path immediately re-crossed the Thames over Little Wittenham Bridge. Since 1984 this bridge has been host to the World Poohsticks Championships. Sadly because of the sheer numbers the event has now moved to a bridge over the River Windrush in Witney.
Now there is only thing to do at this bridge … have a game of Poohsticks. But so does everyone else! There is not a branch or twig for 50 yards either side of the bridge. No wonder the World Championships were moved!
We headed across fields, and a footpath through a very attractive garden and across the only stile of the day (tricky with a broken arm) to the village of Long Wittenham.
Lovely garden.. with a footpath through it!
Here we would find our third and final cache, Spice Alley. We guessed that normally there would be cooking aromas from the adjacent Oriental Eating Emporium, but today no such aromas existed. Our search took slightly longer than expected, hidden in an ivy bush.
… and its cache !
Returning via footpaths to the Thames, we then retraced our steps through the field of sheep. Imagine our surprise to find them gone! They were being shorn by three farmers in the far field corner. So we were right.. they did need shearing!
A pleasant day out – and a great way for Mr Hg137 to start his caching recuperation!


Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Wednesday arrested Joel Arrona-Lara as he drove his wife, Maria del Carmen Venegas, to the hospital to give birth. Arrona-Lara was detained when he stopped at a gas station, and Venegas, left sobbing at the station, ultimately drove herself to the hospital and delivered the baby alone.
ICE said Saturday the arrest was made because Arrona-Lara is in the U.S. illegally and there is an "outstanding warrant issued for his arrest in Mexico on homicide charges." The agency "will no longer exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement," the statement said. "All of those in violation of the immigration laws may be subject to immigration arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States."
Venegas told CNN the murder accusation is the result of "a misunderstanding." The couple's attorney, Emilio Amaya García, said he was not able to locate a Mexican warrant for Arrona-Lara's arrest. "Using the name and date of birth, we couldn't find anything saying he was in any criminal proceedings," he said.
President Trump has joked about getting his face on Mount Rushmore. A group of Finnish climate activists might kind of, sort of make that happen.
The Melting Ice Association wants to raise $500,000 to carve Trump's face in a glacier — a Mount Trumpmore, if you will.

Lockheed Martin eyes next-generation power and thermal management for combat aircraft
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio – Military aircraft designers at Lockheed Martin Corp. are designing next-generation aircraft power-control and thermal-management systems to enable future military planes to accommodate new technologies like laser weapons, powerful electronic warfare (EW), and low-observability.
WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB, Ohio – Military aircraft designers at Lockheed Martin Corp. are designing next-generation aircraftpower-control and thermal-management systems to enable future military planes to accommodate new technologies like laser weapons, powerful electronic warfare (EW), and low-observability.
Officials of the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, announced a seven-year contract Friday, worth as much as $409 million, to the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics segment in Fort Worth, Texas, for the Next Generation Thermal, Power, and Controls (NGT-PAC) program.
Lockheed Martin engineers will conduct research to prove the technological feasibility of new kinds of thermal, power, and controls components and architectures using existing airframe and engine designs as test beds. Lockheed Aeronautics is the designer and manufacturer of the F-35 and F-22 combat aircraft.
Next-generation fighter aircraft will require an unprecedented level of advanced capabilities for air superiority in contested environments, Air Force researchers say. These capabilities will include advanced electronic attack, high-power laser, and future low-observability features.
Related: Air Force wants new electronics thermal management techniques for fighter aircraft
These advanced technologies are expected to require as much as 10 times the power levels than current tactical systems, Air Force experts say.
These power system demands present electrical and thermal challenges aboard aircraft -- especially in the presence of composite aircraft skins, high-efficiency engines, and embedded vehicle systems. Lockheed Martin experts will try to better understand the challenges and opportunities of, and advance the state of the art in, next-generation aircraft thermal, power, and controls.
Lockheed Martin researchers will focus on two areas: aircraft engines and airframes. Air Force officials may add other contractors to this project, which focuses on developing revolutionary aircraft power, thermal, and controls technologies.
On this contract Lockheed Martin will do the work in Fort Worth, Texas, and should be finished by July 2024. For more information contact Lockheed Martin Aeronautics online at www.lockheedmartin.com/us/aeronautics.html, or the Air Force Research Laboratory at www.wpafb.af.mil/afrl.

On 7th April 2018, the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES) launched "Engineering a First World – 50 Feats that Transformed Singapore", a book recounting first-person stories of engineers behind Singapore's 50 greatest engineering feats. Mr. Heng Chee How, Senior Minister of State, Prime Minister's Office and Deputy Secretary-General, National Trades Union Congress graced the event held at the National Library Building as the guest-of-honour.
The 240-page book offers exclusive behind-the-scene looks into the many challenges that had confronted engineers behind the winning projects of the Engineering Feats @ IES-SG50 competition. It presents inspirational journeys of these unsung heroes whose work were chosen by the public to have made the greatest economic, infrastructural or societal impact to Singapore from 1965 to 2015.
The book features engineers who answered the nation's call to address various needs over its first 50 years, from cleaning up the Singapore River to battling the war against SARS; and from creating Asia's first ice-breakers to building the world's largest underground district cooling network. These stories are covered under seven main sections: Building Our Country, Moving Our People, Defending Our Nation, Greening Our Island, Enhancing Our Lives, Transforming Our Industries and Globalising Our Cities.
"The engineering profession still plays an important role in Singapore's development. We need good engineers to maintain and upgrade our infrastructure to meet the changing needs of our ageing population, and to keep on developing innovative solutions to our resource constraints. I hope this book will inspire our next generation of engineers to meet future challenges, and take the profession to new heights," said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in the book's foreword.
"Through the book, IES aims to provide insights into the personal journeys of engineers whose work has transformed Singapore into a first world economy and given our people a high quality of life. We hope to instil pride in the profession and recognise these engineers' efforts in Singapore's nation-building. We also hope that the legacies of the past generation of engineers will spur future generations in building engineering legacies of their own," said Er. Edwin Khew Teck Fook, President of IES.
Mr Philip Heah, Senior Director (Technology and Infrastructure) at IMDA said, "IMDA is honoured to be a part of the IES's choice of engineering awards. I remember when I was studying physics in NUS, I could never have dreamed of working on such a massive national project; and that I would one day be a part of the team that has given every citizen access to ultra-high speed Internet at affordable prices. ICM technology has been the fuel of growth in the digital economy, and I want to encourage more young adults to consider a career in engineering." He graduated with a Honours degree in Physics in 1988.
IES will be distributing this book to all schools, junior colleges, institutions of higher learning and public libraries in April 2018.
Engineering Feats @ IES-SG50 was a nationwide competition organised by IES and launched by DPM Teo Chee Hean in celebration of Singapore's 50thanniversary in 2015. The top 50 winners emerged from 113 shortlisted entries to receive awards from Prime Minister Lee at the IES Golden Jubilee Dinner in July 2016.
The book will be available at S$48 (before GST) from 7th April 2018 onwards. Please call IES at (65) 6469 5000 or (65) 6461 1231 to purchase.
IES is well represented among the faculty members of the major engineering institutions of higher learning in Singapore. Through close collaboration with the local universities and polytechnics, IES organizes courses, seminars and talks for engineers and IES members to advance the continuous development of engineers.
The Institution maintains close links with professional organizations of engineers regionally and throughout the world. These include organisations in Australia, China, Japan, United Kingdom and the United States. The Institution also represents Singapore in the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), ASEAN Federation of Engineering Organisations (AFEO) and the Federation of Engineering Institutions of Asia and the Pacific (FEIAP) in promoting goodwill and fellowship among all engineers in the region and internationally.
To raise the technical competencies of engineers in Singapore and promote engineering to the community, IES has introduced the Chartered Engineer Programme, World Engineers Summit and National Engineers Day.
IES will not rest on its laurels and will seek to bring the engineering profession greater recognition and raise the status of engineers both locally and internationally through closer collaboration with its stakeholders and contributions to society.

Past UK research
The current research (PSE: UK) builds on the work of the Poverty and Social Exclusion survey in Britain in 1999, the Poverty and Social Exclusion survey in Northern Ireland in 2002/03 and the Breadline Britain surveys in 1983 and 1990 (see left hand menu). These surveys developed the consensual method of measuring poverty based on the public perception of necessities. They have been used by the Family Resources Survey (see left hand menu) to develop a small set of questions on deprivation for inclusion in their annual survey on household's incomes and circumstances.
Over the period of the Breadline Britain and PSE surveys, deprivation in Britain rose sharply. Looking at those households lacking three or more necessities because they could not afford them:
In 1983: 14 per cent of households had an enforced lack of three or more necessities.
The 2002/03 survey in Northern Ireland found higher levels of deprivation there than in the rest of the United Kingdom:
In 2002/03: nearly 31.70 per cent of households in Northern Ireland had an enforced lack of three or more necessities.
In 2012: 36 per cent of households in Northern Ireland had an enforced lack of three or more necessities.
The statistical analyses carried out on the Breadline Britain surveys and the PSE Northern Ireland survey found that the poverty threshold – that is the point which best distinguishes between 'poor' and 'not poor' households – fell at a lack of three or more necessities. The PSE 1999 survey found the threshold to be at two or more necessities; 32 per cent of households lacked two or more necessities.
The PSE 1999 study in Britain proceeded to refine this definition by carrying out further statistical analysis on the group below the threshold to exclude those who, though deprived, had higher levels of income. The PSE study in Northern Ireland also proceeded to exclude from those who fell below the threshold, those on higher incomes. This approach has been further developed in the 2012 PSE research: see "Producing an 'objective' poverty line in eight easy steps: PSE 2012 survey' and 'Note on the PSE 2012 Poverty and Deprivation measures', both by David Gordon, which can be found here.
These surveys, in turn, built on the Standards of Living in the United Kingdom 1968/69 survey. Through this survey, Peter Townsend developed the relative deprivation approach to poverty measurement as set out in Poverty in the United Kingdom (1979).
These studies have had considerable impact, and key indicators of deprivation, based on items considered by a majority of people to be necessary, are now included in the Family Resources Survey and in various European Union surveys.

Erwin Böhme (* 29. Juli 1879 in Holzminden; † 29. November 1917 über Zonnebeke, Belgien) war ein deutscher Ingenieur und Jagdflieger im Ersten Weltkrieg.

Leben

Ingenieur
Böhme wuchs in einer Familie mit fünf Geschwistern auf. Er war ein talentierter und begeisterter Sportler und betätigte sich u. a. als Schwimmer, Ski- und Schlittschuhläufer und Bergsteiger. Nach dem Abitur auf dem Gymnasium in Holzminden besuchte er die Technische Fachschule in Dortmund und absolvierte 1902 sein Staatsexamen. Danach war er als Ingenieur bei verschiedenen Unternehmen in Elberfeld und von 1904 bis 1909 in Zürich und Biel tätig, wobei er zugleich durch alpinistische und sportliche Erfolge auf sich aufmerksam machte; u. a. gewann er 1905 die Schwimmmeisterschaft über den Zürichsee über drei Kilometer in 52:40 Minuten.

1909 ging Böhme in die damalige deutsche Kolonie Deutsch-Ostafrika und übernahm dort im Auftrag der Firma Adolf Bleichert & Co. die Bauleitung der (bereits größtenteils fertiggestellten) Usambara-Luftseilbahn; es handelte sich um eine recht anspruchsvolle Aufgabe, war doch die rund neun Kilometer lange Seilbahn mit einer Steigung von bis zu 86 % die bis dahin steilste der Welt. Sie wurde gebaut im Auftrag des Plantagenunternehmens Wilkins & Wiese, das auch die Gewinnung von Zedernholz aus den Usambarabergen betrieb; hierfür war in 2000 Meter ü. d. M. der Ort Neu-Hornow gegründet und dort ein großes Sägewerk errichtet worden. Zweck der neuen Seilbahn war der Transport von Schnittholz, Balken und ganzen Stämmen zu einer 1435 Meter tiefergelegenen Station der Usambarabahn. Böhme meisterte seine Aufgabe erfolgreich, und 1910 konnte die Bahn in Betrieb genommen werden. Böhme blieb auch danach zunächst für seinen Arbeitgeber in Afrika.

Jagdflieger
Bei Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs 1914 war Böhme gerade auf Dienstreise in Deutschland und plante einen Bergurlaub in der Schweiz, gab dies jedoch auf und meldete sich umgehend freiwillig bei seinem Gardejäger-Regiment, bei dem er 1899 seinen Wehrdienst abgeleistet hatte. Er bat dann allerdings um Versetzung zur Fliegertruppe. Seinem Wunsch entsprechend, wurde er im Herbst 1914 zur Pilotenausbildung nach Lindenthal und später nach Döberitz abkommandiert. Nachdem er den Pilotenlehrgang als Bester abgeschlossen hatte, wurde er gegen seinen Willen für ein Jahr als Fluglehrer in Leipzig-Mockau eingesetzt. Er wollte aber unbedingt an die Front versetzt werden, und so erfolgte im Dezember 1915 der Wechsel zur Kampfstaffel 10, die von Hauptmann Wilhelm Boelcke (dem Bruder des damals bekanntesten deutschen Jagdfliegers Oswald Boelcke) kommandiert wurde. Seine Staffel wurde an der Westfront eingesetzt und beteiligte sich u. a. an der Schlacht von Verdun. Böhme flog in dieser Zeit verschiedene Albatros-Typen (auch Zweisitzer) sowie Roland C. Seinen ersten Luftkampf bestand Böhme im März mit zwei französischen Farmans und einer Nieuport Scout. Ihm sollten in der nächsten Zeit zahlreiche weitere folgen. Im Mai 1916 wurde Böhme zum Leutnant der Reserve befördert, ehe seine Einheit im darauffolgenden Monat nach Kowel an die Ostfront verlegt wurde, wo er nun gemeinsam mit dem noch unbekannten Manfred von Richthofen flog. Am 2. August 1916 erzielte Böhme seinen ersten Luftsieg; sein Gegner war das lettisch-französische Fliegerass Edwards Pulpe, der im Kampf tödlich verwundet wurde. Im August 1916 wurde Böhme, gemeinsam mit Manfred von Richthofen, von Oswald Boelcke für die neu aufgestellte Jagdstaffel 2 ausgewählt. Seit September 1916 an der Westfront eingesetzt, machte sich diese Einheit aufgrund ihrer Erfolge bald bei Freund und Feind einen Namen, und auch Böhme trug durch Abschüsse dazu bei. Mit Boelcke verband ihn bald eine enge Freundschaft.

Am 28. Oktober 1916, während eines Massenluftgefechtes, streifte Böhme mit seinem Fahrwerk bei hoher Geschwindigkeit Boelckes Maschine am Oberflügel, nachdem sich unmittelbar zuvor beide Maschinen im toten Winkel zueinander befunden hatten. Die eigentlich nur leichte Berührung erwies sich als verhängnisvoll, denn Boelckes Maschine verlor die linke Außenpartie des Oberflügels, dessen Stoffbespannung überdies teilweise zerriss. Während Böhme seine an der Unterseite beschädigte Maschine nach einigen hundert Metern Sturzflug wieder unter Kontrolle bekommen konnte, trudelte das Flugzeug seines Freundes unkontrollierbar zu Boden; Boelcke starb beim Aufschlag. Die Tragödie machte Böhme für den Rest seines Lebens zu schaffen.

Er verrichtete allerdings weiterhin seinen Dienst bei der Jasta und errang weitere Luftsiege. Am 12. Februar 1917 wurde Böhme bei seinem zwölften Abschuss von einer Pistolenkugel am Arm getroffen, was einen längeren Lazarettaufenthalt zur Folge hatte. Am 8. April 1917 als geheilt entlassen, wurde Böhme nochmals bis Anfang Juli die Aufgabe eines Fluglehrers zugeteilt, und zwar in Valenciennes. Schließlich wurde er am 2. Juli 1917 zum Führer der Jagdstaffel 29 in der Nachfolge von Kurt Wolff ernannt, der kurz zuvor Richthofen als Führer der Jasta 11 abgelöst hatte. Am 10. August 1917 wurde Böhme erneut verwundet, diesmal an der rechten Hand. Nach eigenen Bekunden hatte er das Leben seines bereits besiegten Gegners schonen wollen, war aber von ihm nochmals beschossen worden.

Am 18. August 1917 übernahm er die Führung der Jagdstaffel 2 "Boelcke" bei der 4. Armee in Flandern. Am 23. September 1917 fiel ein weiterer seiner engen Freunde, Werner Voß, in einem ungleichen Luftkampf gegen acht britische Fliegerasse, von denen er noch zwei abschießen konnte. Zwischen August 1916 und November 1917 errang Böhme insgesamt 24 Luftsiege, wobei es sich in einem Fall nicht um einen Abschuss handelte; vielmehr konnte Böhme seinen Gegner zur Landung hinter den deutschen Linien zwingen. Einer seiner letzten Abschüsse gelang ihm am 31. Oktober 1917; es war eine SE5a, deren überlebender und gefangengenommener Pilot, der Neuseeländer William Harrison, von Böhme noch am selben Tag zum Kaffee in seinen Staffelstandort eingeladen wurde, ehe er in ein Gefangenenlager verbracht wurde.

Böhme wurde am 29. November 1917 in einem Luftkampf über Zonnebeke in Westflandern beim Luftkampf gegen eine zweisitzige Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8 brennend abgeschossen. Die Maschine gehörte zur No. 10 Squadron und wurde gesteuert von Captain John Arthur Pattern, die entscheidenden Schüsse wurden durch den Bordschützen Philip Wrey Leicester abgegeben, der offenbar den Benzintank von Böhmes Albatros D.Va traf. Mit Böhme starb der letzte Pilot der ersten Stunde der Jasta 2. Britische Soldaten bargen den verkohlten Leichnam aus dem Wrack und bestatteten ihn mit allen militärischen Ehren auf der Kriegsgräberstätte Keerselaarshoek nördlich von Eeklo. Nach Auflösung dieser Grabstätte in den 1950er Jahren soll nach unbestätigten Berichten eine Umbettung auf den Deutschen Soldatenfriedhof Langemark erfolgt sein.

Nach seinem 20. Luftsieg war Böhme die höchste preußische Auszeichnung, der Orden Pour le Mérite, verliehen worden. Der Orden erreichte ihn jedoch nicht mehr; er wurde ihm an seinem Todestag zugestellt. In seiner Geburtsstadt Holzminden wurde ihm zu Ehren am 28. Dezember 1934 durch Ratsbeschluss ein Teilstück der damaligen Straße "Jugendgarten" in "Erwin-Böhme-Straße" umbenannt.

Privates

Böhme war im Rahmen seiner Arbeit für den Seilbahnbau in Afrika geschäftlich in Kontakt gekommen mit dem Unternehmer Heinrich Brüning, dem Besitzer des Sägewerks in Neu-Hornow. Der Stammsitz von dessen Firma befand sich in der Nähe von Eberswalde (Brandenburg); es war die Hubertusmühle, eine Sägemühle, in der das in Afrika geschlagene Zedernholz weiterverarbeitet wurde, um es dann der Bleistiftproduktion in Nürnberg zuzuführen. Aus der Geschäftsverbindung heraus entstand ein Briefwechsel mit Brüning und seiner Frau, der um 1914/15 zur Freundschaft wurde; bei gelegentlichen Besuchen lernte man sich auch persönlich kennen. Aus Anlass von Brünings Silberhochzeit am 20. Mai 1916 stattete Böhme dem Paar gemeinsam mit zwei Fliegerkameraden (einer davon sein eigener, später gefallener, Bruder Martin) einen überraschenden und spektakulären Besuch per Doppeldecker ab, mit dem sie direkt neben dem Brüningschen Anwesen landeten. Bei dieser Gelegenheit begegnete Böhme zum ersten Mal der ältesten Tochter der Brünings, Annamarie, die kurz zuvor eine Ausbildung in der Sozialen Frauenschule der Inneren Mission in Berlin und Wien absolviert hatte. Die beiden verliebten sich ineinander und begannen einen ausgiebigen Briefwechsel, der später unter dem Titel "Briefe eines deutschen Kampffliegers an ein junges Mädchen" veröffentlicht wurde (s. u. Literatur; allerdings sind offenbar viele Briefe Annamaries verlorengegangen). Den Gepflogenheiten der damaligen Zeit entsprechend, siezten sich die beiden bis zu ihrer Verlobung, Die fand erst Ende Oktober 1917 statt, vier Wochen vor Erwin Böhmes Absturz, nachdem die beiden zuvor kaum Gelegenheit gehabt hatten, einander zu sehen. Bei seinem Todesflug trug Erwin Böhme den letzten Brief seiner Braut in seiner Brusttasche; er wurde von britischen Soldaten geborgen und 1921 nach Deutschland zurückgesandt.

Matthews has authored a couple of books on divinatory cards, and her latest is The Com plete Lenormand Oracle Cards Handbook This 36-card deck was named after the movie star card-reader Mademoiselle Marie Anne Lenormand, who was universal around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, though the decks bearing her name weren't actually produced until after her death. The oldest packs in Matthews' collection are two Lenormand-style decks, the French Daveluy of the 1860s and the Viennese Zauberkarten deck from 1864, which were one of the most first decks to be illustrated using the method of chromolithography. All in all, I'm so pleased with this deck! It's so nice to come back into the technique of operating with cards again, I feel like I'm coming back to myself after a very long time away. Nostradamus studied medicine in Montpellier, started practicing medicine in 1525, introduced better ways of treating plague victims, and have become royal doctor to King Charles IX. In 1550, he began writing a book of prophecies called "Centuries" which he posted in 1555. His final prophecy came when he told a priest, "You won't find me alive at sunrise. For others, it can be found in nature, music, art or a mundane group. Spirituality is various for each person. Overpowering Mind (Ex): The psychic can spend 2 points from her phrenic pool to enhance the Will save DC of the linked spell by 1. At 8th level, she will be able to choose to instead spend 4 points to increase the DC by 2. At 15th level, she will be able to decide to as an alternative spend 6 points to enhance the DC by 3. This amplification can be linked only to spells which have the mind-affecting descriptor and require a Will saving throw.

Q: How to set a character as a potential hyphenation point globally ? I am generating a LaTeX file, and I got some very long commands containing Windows path, which do not break at line end. For instance, I can have a line like this :
This is a \texttt{very\textbackslash{}long\textbackslash{}command\textbackslash{}that\textbackslash{}will\textbackslash{}not\textbackslash{}break\textbackslash{}at\textbackslash{}textbackslash{}the\textbackslash{}end\textbackslash{}of\textbackslash{}the\textbackslash{}line}.

Is there any way to set the \textbackslash{} (but the question would hold for any character) as a potential hyphenation point ? The generation is automated, so I cannot add a \- manually, which I would do normally.

A: If you are able to coerce the generating program to write, say, \bslash{} instead of \textbackslash, you can define
\newcommand{\bslash}{\textbackslash\penalty\exhyphenpenalty}

just like \slash is defined (which is the macro you can use for the similar problem with Unix paths).

I have decided to add the users to the sudo group but the error still persists
looking into the main.yaml file position suggested by the error it seems to be this code possibly causing issues?

  when:
    - override_system_hostname
    - ansible_os_family not in ['Suse', 'Flatcar Container Linux by Kinvolk', 'ClearLinux'] and not is_fedora_coreos

The OS'es of the hosts are ubuntu 20.04.02 server
is there anything more I can do?

A: From Kubespray documentation:
# Deploy Kubespray with Ansible Playbook - run the playbook as root
# The option `--become` is required, as for example writing SSL keys in /etc/,
# installing packages and interacting with various systemd daemons.
# Without --become the playbook will fail to run!
ansible-playbook -i inventory/mycluster/hosts.yaml  --become --become-user=root cluster.yml

As stated, the --become is mandatory, it allows to do privilege escalation for most of the system modifications (like setting the hostname) that Kubespray performs.
With --user=provision you're just setting the SSH user, but it will need privilege escalation anyway.
With --become-user=provision you're just saying that privilege escalation will escalade to 'provision' user (but you would need --become to do the privilege escalation).
In both cases, unless 'provision' user has root permissions (not sure putting it in root group is enough), it won't be enough.
For the user 'provision' to be enough, you need to make sure that it can perform a hostnamectl <some-new-host> without being asked for authentication.

My Bloody Valentine 3D is a Horror movie starring Jensen Ackles, Kerr Smith, and Jaime King. The movie was directed by Patrick Lussier and released by the Lionsgate studio on 2009-01-16. The movie has an MPAA Rating of R (Restricted). Our users found the overall impression of this film to be Scary. The movie's official site can be found at www.mybloodyvalentine3ddvd.com.
An okay slasher horror film that has a few absurd moments.
This was kind of a so so experience. On the one hand the basic concept was pretty interesting but the execution kind of went a bit wonky along the way. The movies plot without spoilers is about a miner named Harry Warden (Richard John Walters) who after training a rookie (Tom Hanniger) (acted by Jensen Ackles who happens to be the mine owners son) to operate some valves causes a mine explosion and causes the miner Harry to end up in a coma in the hospital. On Valentines day Harry wakes from his coma only to go on a violent rampage killing everyone while dressed in a miners suit (quite brutally) in the hospital only to be shot himself later on by some bumbling cops. This is the premise the movie is based on..the movie itself takes this premise and created the movie reviewed here which is kind of a sequel to the classic or not so classic 80s movie of the same name. This movie tells the story of how many years later (also on valentines day) killings are happening again and how everyone thinks that Harry is back.
I would say this movie is only a rental if you cant find anything else in the Horror section to watch..be warned though it is a pretty violent and graphic movie so it is definitely not for the faint of heart.

Another Contender for the Monthly Prize 4?
"Why Wright is so wrong, or the case for 'Free Love"
Cragg Hines
Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle. Hines is a Houston Chronicle columnist based in Washington, D.C. (cragg.hines@chron.com)
"Dallas-Fort Worth at the expense of consumers and a free-market economy".
Cragg Hines' article is a classic example of an age old problem in business. A politician, keen to assist the then new airport at Dallas- Fort Worth, Texas persuaded the US Government to protect the commercial prospects for the airport by restricting an existing smaller and older airport in Dallas, Love Field, from flying just about anywhere where consumers might want to fly in 43 other US States. This became known as the Wright Amendment, after the Texan politician.
The case for protectionism (as always when it is first introduced) seemed justified 26 years ago if the investment was to pay its builders. But today, 26 years later, new protectionists oppose removing the now unnecessary protection.
Dallas-Fort Worth is no longer a fledgling 'infant industry'. It is one of the world's largest airports with 60 million passengers a year taking off and landing there. American Airlines, its main user, is among the largest, if not the largest, airline in the world.
What is the Wright Amendment protecting?
"It's an Economics 101 question ... , a no-brainer," according to Professor Craig A. Depken II of the University of Texas at Arlington, one of more than 20 economics professors in North Texas who have called for repeal of the amendment.
He goes on to observe that "it's politics where economics gets trumped," and "it's been that way since Adam Smith." How right he is, and for once we get an accurate use of Adam Smith's legacy.
Smith believed that the purpose of the economy is to serve consumers, not producers. Depken says, "it does seem odd that business interests seem to be running this and that the consumer is out of the equation."
Congratulations to Cragg Hines (and Professor Depken) and the Houston Chronicle for their truly Smithian stance.

The gram-per-mole conversion factor in stoichiometry is almost always present, and it allows chemists to predict what weights of materials are needed for a chemical reaction. For example, if hydrochloric acid reacts with the base sodium hydroxide to produce table salt and water, stoichiometry calculations can predict how much acid and how much base is needed so neither is left over and only salt and water remain in the solution that is produced. The calculations start with moles of each substance, and the conversion factors change the moles to weight.
Stoichiometry lets chemists use the grams-per-mole conversion factor to calculate how much of each reactant is required in a chemical reaction. According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, chemical reactions are balanced, with the same number of atoms of each element going into a reaction as are found in the reaction products. The grams-per-mole conversion factor can be used to predict how much of each material is needed so none is left over, and how much of each reaction product will result from the reaction.
According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, first proposed by the French 18th-century chemist Antoine Lavoisier, mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means that the number of atoms of each element going into a chemical reaction is always the same as the atoms in the reaction products. As a result, chemical reactions are balanced, with equal numbers of atoms on each side, even though they may be combined differently to form different compounds.
For example, when sulfuric acid, H2SO4, reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH, the unbalanced chemical equation is H2SO4 + NaOH = Na2SO4 + H2O, producing sodium sulfate and water. There are three hydrogen atoms on the left side of the equation but only two on the right side. There are equal numbers of sulfur and oxygen atoms but one sodium atom on the left side and two on the right side.
To get a balanced equation an extra sodium atom is needed on the left, which also gives us an extra oxygen and hydrogen atom. That means there are now two water molecules on the right side and the equation is balanced as H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O. The equation adheres to the Law of Conservation of Mass.
A balanced equation is useful to show how many atoms are needed in a chemical reaction, but it doesn't say how much of each substance is required or how much is produced. The balanced equation can be used to express the quantity of each substance in moles, moles of any substance having the same number of atoms.
For example, when sodium reacts with water, the reaction produces sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The unbalanced chemical equation is Na + H2O = NaOH + H2. The right side of the equation has a total of three hydrogen atoms because the hydrogen gas molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms. The balanced equation is 2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2.
This means two moles of sodium with two moles of water will produce two moles of sodium hydroxide and a mole of hydrogen gas. Most periodic tables will give the grams per mole for each element. For the reaction above these are sodium: 23, hydrogen: 1 and oxygen: 16. The equation in grams states that 46 grams of sodium and 36 grams of water will react to form 80 grams of sodium hydroxide and 2 grams of hydrogen. The number of atoms and the weights are the same on both sides of the equation, and the grams-per-mole conversion factors can be found in all stoichiometric calculations involving weight.

No extra motivation to beat emerging generation – Hamilton – RACER
By:	Chris Medland | 3 hours ago	Lewis Hamilton insists being challenged by the emerging generation of talent in Formula 1 does not provide him with any extra motivation to extend his career. The past six races have seen two victories apiece for Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, with the Ferrari youngster winning in Spa and Monza despite pressure from the championship leader. Although he now faces a threat from a pair of 21-year-olds, Hamilton says the only motivation he takes is from having competition for victories regardless of the age of his rivals. "It doesn't do anything to extend my career, I don't look at it that way but I do love the challenge from whoever it is," Hamilton said. "While they are younger, I think I am still

What Each Zodiac Sign Does For Self-Care – YourTango
We all need time to take care of ourselves.When you live in a chaotic world, it's important to practice self-care. It's reserving an hour or two to focus on your own needs and relax. It's easy to get stressed out, and being under a lot of pressure can put strain on your body and your mind.Self-care means different things to different people, and the zodiac sign you were born under can influence what happens when you take the time to do something for your mind, body, and soul. Thanks to astrology, each sign is unique in their approach to healing.For some signs, self-care may mean getting a mani/pedi; for others, it could mean going to the gym. There aren't any rules to self-care except that it shouldn't hurt you or someone else in a damaging way. Drinking so much you can't stand up isn't
