Is Twitter No Longer for Free Speech?
Leo says that when it first began, Twitter called itself the "free speech wing" of the free speech party. But after recent bans of Alex Jones, Leo ponders what happened. The bottom line is, if you are for the first amendment, you have to be for unpopular speech as well. But make no mistake, Twitter is a private company, and it can ban anyone for any reason.

Twitter Purges A Million Bots, Gets Punished by Wall Street
Twitter purged over a million bots and fake accounts, and Wall Street reacted by a 20% loss in Twitter's stock value. The reason? The Social Media giant is contracting, not growing. Or, in reality, the perception of Twitter's actual active users is far less than Wall Street likes and as such, many investors sold their stock.

Twitter & Facebook take stock hits
Twitter banned a ton of fake accounts this quarter, and as a result, not only lost 1 million active users, but also saw their stock take a dump. Even though they made $20 million in the process. But Wall Street says that Twitter isn't growing, and as a result, the value declined. Even Facebook took a hit this week, in the single largest stock loss in Wall Street trading history. $120 Billion in lost value. Mark Zuckerberg lost over half his personal wealth. But Leo says he'll likely bounce back over time.

Twitter Error Results in Passwords Being Stored in Plain Text
Twitter sent an email to its 330 million users recommending that they change their passwords. This is because of an error that caused user passwords to be stored unencrypted and in plain text.

How can I use the internet in China?
Mike from Tiburon, CA
Mike is going to China and wants to know how he can use Gmail, Facebook or Twitter. Leo says that it changes all the time depending on the social unrest that's going on. There is a Wikipedia page that will show him. One thing he can do is create a Yahoo Mail account, have Gmail fetch it, and then use that. It's a workaround but it can work. He may be able to go to the .CN versions of websites, though.

Twitter Retweets Drive Fake News
According to a new study, the more outrageous fake news tweets you see on Twitter, the more likely it will be retweeted, while actual news only gets retweeted about 1/4 of the time. Leo says that this is driving many to give up the social media app altogether. And those who have stayed, Leo says it works as an outrage engine to rage at the machine.

New Social Media Study Shows Shift in Social Media Usage
Pew Research Center on Internet and Technology did a study on social media and the stats for early 2018 were surprising. 78% of 18-24 year olds use Snapchat, and most of them visit the platform many times a day. 71% of 18-24 year olds also use Instagram, and only 45% Twitter. Roughly 2/3rds of US adults say they use Facebook, and 3/4 of that number on a daily basis. Facebook is easily used by the majority of Americans every single day. YouTube's numbers were even higher. 73% of adults say they use YouTube.

Celebrities Are Paying for Fake Social Media Followers
The New York Times recently ran a story about a company that's been selling fake social media accounts to celebrities and businesses. It's called Devumi, and it has millions of fake Twitter accounts. Some of them are based on stolen social identities. They may have pictures, backgrounds, and bios that are real but are part of a fake account that is then sold off. This is very widespread because in Hollywood, the amount of money actors make in a movie is often tied to the number of followers they have. This is what happens when follower counts are an important measure of success.

Good oral health is pivotal to a healthy mind and body. Oral hygiene minimises the chances of bacterial borne disease and elevates mood and confidence levels. Thereby, it is integral to understand the importance of an oral care regime and moreover following it regularly. If adequate care isn't taken, patients often complain about ailments including periodontitis, gingivitis, and tooth loss. All in all, following a proper oral hygiene routine can avoid these common problems.
Therefore, it is crucial for an individual to maintain good oral health. This also contributes towards maintaining a better overall health. The primary purpose of taking care of your oral health is to prevent the formation of tartar or plaque within your mouth leading to periodontal diseases. Hence, it is recommended to daily clean your teeth at least twice a day to stay away from sensitivity and diseases. People often do not consider oral health as important as overall health – and, it indeed is stacked last among others. In case you are not motivated, let us tell you advantages of a good oral hygiene that may help you develop a habit.
Good Physical Health: First and foremost, a good oral hygiene contributes towards good physical health. There have been profound studies that mentions that gum inflammation may lead to diabetes and several heart diseases. Therefore, if you do not prioritize your oral health, you are risking your physical health.
No More Bad Breath: In an entirely socializing world, you have to be at your best at all times to stay at the top. Whether you are studying, running a business, or have good job, having a clean and fresh mouth defines your personality. Apart from this, if you do not take good oral care, you may develop infection or halitosis that also cause bad breath.
Confident Smile: Everyone loves a bright smile, right? When you focus on good oral hygiene, you would feel more confident in talking and smiling with others. Regular cleaning your teeth and mouth can help you keep a fresh look for a long time.
No More Cavity: The most common problem when we talk about oral health is plaque that forms cavities. No matter what age you are, this will lead to complications and is recommended to be handled at the earliest. However, with regular dental cleaning, you are not at risk.
Hence in a nutshell, these are just a few of many benefits of maintaining a good oral hygiene.


Here are some links to other pages. As with any link to someone else's pages there may be some things that I do not agree with. That is just Christian growth. We are all at different stages of growth and sometimes stubbornness with respect to accepting truth from God's Word.
The Marks of Israel - This page is a very short listing of identifying marks that denote who is Israel. I need to get back to work on the list.
Gospel Minutes - Similar to Oracles of Yah, but directed to the churches of Christ.
Bible Myths - Beliefs that are not really found in Scripture.
Christian Study - I don't like commentaries, but this one is mine.

What follows is a link to a different page that belongs to Oracles of Yah. It has been separated from Oracles because few Christians are mature enough to handle the subject.

Q: Visual studio auto-indent for variable assignments I know VS could do that, but i can't remember the operation name nor the shortcut for it...
Visual studio does the following:
Before:
string a = "bliblablubb";
string ab = "bliblablubb";
string abc = "bliblablubb";
string abcd = "bliblablubb";

After:
string a    = "bliblablubb";
string ab   = "bliblablubb";
string abc  = "bliblablubb";
string abcd = "bliblablubb";

I am currently using VS2013 preview.

A: I use productivity tools, they provide the following shortcut (Ctrl+Al+ special character) because I'm using spanish layout the character I see is ¡, but for example in german is ´ ... so better you install the extension and you will see the one that works for your

Hope it helps.
Bye.

A: You can install the Productivity Power Tools extension and press CTRL+ALT+] (see the Align Assignments section on that page). (Edit - doesn't seem to support VS2013 preview but I'll leave it here for others who are using 2010/2012).
Alternatively, you could try using the Code alignment extension. This claims to support VS2013.
Both options require a non-express edition of Visual Studio as express editions don't support extensions.

A: Shortcut for format document Ctrl + K,D

This RFC documents the changes required in order to upgrade MapServer's OGC WMS support to version 1.3.0 of the specification.
MapServer already includes mechanisms to support multiple WMS versions (and already supports WMS versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0 and 1.1.1) so in theory this upgrade should be straightforward and shouldn't require a RFC. Unfortunately, WMS 1.3.0 contains some tricky changes that while they are not exactly backwards incompatible are likely to make the life of users of WMS miserable.
This RFC is mostly to document those changes and the way MapServer deals with them.
The main issue introduced by WMS 1.3.0 is the change in the way it handles axis order for several SRS. This has an impact on the way the BBOX is specified in WMS requests and in Capabilities documents and in how the CONNECTIONTYPE WMS code interacts with remote servers.
In previous versions of WMS, for any SRS the first axis was the easting (x or lon) and the second axis was the northing (y or lat). Starting with WMS 1.3.0, some SRS such as the very popular EPSG:4326 have their axis reversed and the axis order becomes lon, lat instead of lat, lon. This change in WMS 1.3.0 was done in order to align with the definitions from the EPSG database (a requirement to make WMS an ISO specification).
This change is sure to confuse simple clients that used to treat all SRS the same way. MapServer and PROJ will need to be extended to carry information about the axis order of all EPSG SRS codes and treat them using the correct axis order.
New CRS codes such as CRS:xxxx and AUTO2:xxxx have also been added by WMS 1.3.0 that will need to be supported by MapServer. Note the wo types of Layer CRS identifiers are supported by the specification: "label" and "URL" identifiers. The intention is to support at this point the label types CRS.
EPSG codes: when advertising (such as BoundingBox for a layer elemnt) or using a CRS element in a request such as GetMap/GetFeatureInfo, elements using epsg code >=4000 and <5000 will be assumed to have a reverse axes.
All the above need to be done in a way that allows continued support for older versions of the WMS specification (1.0.0 to 1.1.1) and will have the least impact on existing WMS services.
The Symbology Encoding Implementation represent basically the definitions for the different symbolizers. We need to upgrade the current SLD support to support this specification.
HTTP Post support is optional and currently supported by MapServer WMS 1.1.1. WMS 1.3.0 defines that if POST is supported, the the request message is formulated as an XML document. Although this is highly deirable, the first implementation of the WMS 1.3.0 might not support the XML Post requests.
The OGC Compliance and Interoperability Testing Initiative (CITE) http://cite.opengeospatial.org/test_engine/wms/1.3.0/ provides automatic tests to validate the implementation. The short term intention is to use this service as a first validation tool. The longer term goal is to have MapServer WMS 1.3.0 fully compliant.
None. This affects only the WMS server interface and WMS CONNECTION type.
The change in the way the axis order is handled is likely to cause lots of confusion.
Q: Can libxml2 be used to generate XML responses to continue the work started in mapowscommon.c?
A: I'll keep libxml2 in mind during the implementation, but I do not plan to refactor and risk breaking any code to convert it to libxml2 as part of this upgrade.
Since WMS 1.3.0 doesn't implement OWS common, it won't benefit from any of the code that's already using libxml2. It will actually mostly reuse existing printf-based code that's already well tested and working. I think the right time to switch to libxml2 for WMS would be when it will support OWS common and then there will be real benefits by reusing functions from mapowscommon.c.

It also introduces Achievements, cloud-saves and will be supported with post-release content.
A role-playing title similar to Final Fantasy, this upcoming 3DS adventure features traditional, turn-based mechanics with a twist. The combat systems allows players to disrupt turns with multiple attacks or freeze time.

GENEVA, May 8 (Reuters) - The new U.S. Ambassador to the World Trade Organization Dennis Shea told the WTO's membership on Tuesday that something had gone "terribly wrong" with judges at the world body and that China's arguments showed it was living in a fantasy.
Addressing the WTO's General Council for the first time, Shea said "something has gone terribly wrong in this system when those charged with adjudicating the rules are so consistently disregarding those very rules," according to a copy of his remarks provided to Reuters.


Those who have been fortunate to enjoy any of the Never Never Distilling Co. (NND) gin family, know these gins should always be stocked in your home bar. To share the story of the Juniper Freak, we first share the stories of the gins that led them to this point.
When NND released the Triple Juniper, the first of their gin trio, a year ago in July 2017 they entered the gin scene with a hit on their hands.
The baby of the range, this is not. Rather it set the benchmark for where the NND range would head. A classic, juniper forward, oily, dry gin that would be at home in a G&T or a classic gin cocktail. The team wanted to make something in the style they enjoyed drinking the most. Sounds like an obvious choice? Yes, but executing that vision was a whole other prospect.
After trialling 45 botanicals, the team carefully selected 9 and each has their place. Pepper berry (one of our favourite natives!) was the only native botanical to find its way into the mix and that's no bad thing.
The success of the Triple Juniper is undeniable, and the botanical profile hits the nail on the head.
When your first release is such a success, where do you go from there? The answer as they considered it, wasn't to release a range of entirely different gins, but to explore with the botanical profile they'd landed on, in a couple of over proof expressions.
We're happy to have been part of the process with the 2nd Never Never release with our Southern Strength 'Ginius Release.' This exclusive batch explored an elevation in the Southern Strength's root character. By increasing the botanical weight of Angelica Root and Orris Root, NND were able to lift the savoury character of their Southern Strength Gin while adding a richer mouthfeel.
In its final iteration Southern Strength has elevated levels of lemon, angelica root and coriander seed, giving it a brighter nose and palate, while retaining some of those earthy, savoury undertones.
Which brings us of course to the gin of the month, the Juniper Freak. If NND had a challenge following the Triple Juniper, how then to top both it and the Southern Strength? The answer as it turns out was more – more boldness and more juniper focus and flavour. Could it be as straight forward as adding more juniper? Yes, more juniper in the vapour infusion, more in the pot and of course that epic bump in ABV to the 58% navy strength.
By keeping a singular focus on juniper, NND is able to explore a whole new concept when it comes to gin, the idea of a juniper 'vintage'. It's fair to say that this concept would struggle to work with the majority of gins. Juniper isn't always a dominant botanical and when it is, the balance of accompanying botanicals would often hide the subtle changes to be found through varying crops of juniper.
With the Juniper Freak, each year you'll have the chance to explore differences from a host of factors. As distiller George explained to us, flavour changes can come from differences in moisture content, seasonal rainfall, plant growth, ripeness and the time of picking. And these can all vary from harvest to harvest.
The gin itself will remain the same in terms of structure, production method and botanical balance, with the juniper itself the only key change. Interested? So are we and just like wine vintages, we'll be laying down one of our bottles for comparison with future vintages of Juniper Freak. Stay tuned!
So, let's get down the business end of the Juniper Freak gin. If your mouth hasn't started watering hearing about how this epic product was made, pouring some into a wide glass should.
Breathe in the fragrant pine and earthy angelica. Don't do it too quickly or deeply, this is a 58% gin, those aromas are beautiful, but still potent.
Before you go down the path of mixing this up with your favourite tonic (high end, no cheap stuff please!), do yourself the favour of sipping it neat to start. Marvel at the smooth, rich, viscous spirit NND have created. Enjoy it at all stages, as you see how the Never Never distillation method shows you all aspects of the juniper. The slightly sweet piney notes at the front, move to a rich earthy middle leading to a long spicy, peppery finish.
On the garnish front, NND's recommendations may see this bottle disappear in rapid fashion. Run with ruby grapefruit and rosemary in a G&T, or for a fancy option dehydrated lime and cinnamon. If you have the discipline to test its merits in a cocktail or two, NND also recommend it for most vermouth-based cocktails. Martini anyone?
If you're looking to be slightly more adventurous, check out our recipe for a Blueberry Ginger Fizz. Developed with Daniel Millhouse, our new cocktail developer in residence and bar supervisor at Hilton Sydney's Zeta Bar, we're excited to keep bringing you beautifully tailored cocktails for our future gins of the month.

Marie "Queenie" Lyons
According to Hoss Allen's notes on the back of her rare De Luxe LP "Soul Fever" Marie was born in Archibald, Louisiana before moving to Ashtabula Ohio where she was brought up. Her first gig was at the Club Castaway in Geneva, OH in 1963, before moving to New York the next year and working with the great King Curtis. But it was meeting James Brown and becoming influenced by his work that was the real jumping off point for here recordings.
Her best release is her first 45, the great deep soul of A Minute Of His Goodtime for Russell Sims, recorded at the Sambo Studio in Louisville, KY. This classic and well arranged 12/8 ballad is a great showcase for Marie's powerful and passionately rough vocals. The uptempo flip is strong southern soul as well.
But she is best known to the funk fans for her De Luxe LP which includes such in demand items as "See And Don't See" and "Your Thing Ain't No Good Without My Thing", all showing the JB connection. There were three 45s from the set but the covers of "Fever", "Try Me" and "Drown In My Own Tears" were really a bit too predictable despite Marie's tough approach. But to my taste Marie was at her best in the more melodic and soulful We'll Cry Together which never appeared on a single but did allow her to reveal a more vulnerable side.
A minute of his goodtime / Good soul loving ~ SIMS 104 (1967)
Try me / Drown in my own tears ~ DE LUXE 101 (1968)
Your key don't fit no more / Fever ~ DE LUXE 103 (1969)
Daddy's house / See and don't see ~ DE LUXE 123 (1970)
Soul fever ~ DELUXE LP 12001 (1969/70)
Notes ~
1. "We'll cry together" can be found on the Kent UK CD "King Serious Soul Vol 1" (CDKEND 194)
2. "See And Don't See", "Your Thing Ain't No Good Without My Thing", and "Fever" can be found on the BGP UK CD "King Funk" (CDBGPD 135).


Manipulators, fuzzy logic, kinematics, motion control.
A new methodology to design the motion control of robot manipulators is presented. The problem of tracking a trajectory, given in Cartesian coordinates, is considered. A constraint is imposed, which is unaware of manipulator's kinematics. The only available measurement will be the actual Cartesian position of the robot's tool. The strategy is based on Fuzzy Modeling. The controller is trained with a set of samples from the robot direct kinematics, although the more involved inverse kinematics is needed for trajectory control. The controller is trained in N-1 dimension space, where N is the dimension of the path to be followed. Motion problems near singular configurations are tackled during the controller design and training phase. Simulation tests are presented for a 6-DOF industrial robot.

Confiscated Temple Turtles Arrive in Florida
Fifty Yellow-Headed Temple Turtles have arrived in Florida to begin a new life after being rescued from an illegal wildlife shipment in Hong Kong. Had the turtles been successfully smuggled into China, they would have been killed to satisfy the large demand for turtle meat and turtle parts used in Chinese medicine.
An endangered species, the Yellow-Headed Temple Turtle gets its name from the tradition of releasing the species into Buddhist temple ponds. One of the largest aquatic turtles in Southeast Asia, Yellow-Headed Temple Turtles can reach two feet in length.
It is not known where the turtles were originally captured by poachers. Because of concerns about genetics and disease transfer, they could not be released into another habitat. Hong Kong's Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden provided temporary housing, but no permanent facilities were available. The turtles were stranded with no place to go. It was then that the TSA went into action, determined to find a home for the endangered turtles. An appeal to TSA members quickly raised funds for a turtle airlift to the USA, and facilities to house the turtles were located in Florida.
"It doesn't sound like much of a challenge to house fifty turtles, but you have to remember that this species can reach two feet long and weigh more than 35 pounds," said Rick Hudson, TSA President. "They need large outdoor ponds with clean water and warm temperatures year-round."
Transporting the turtles over 8,000 miles threatened to be cost-prohibitive, but at the final hour, Taiwan-based EVA airlines generously offered to move the animals at a discounted fare. The turtles were boxed in 20 temperature-controlled containers and loaded onto a cargo jet. Upon arrival at Atlanta International Airport, the turtles were met by Cris Hagen, Director of Animal Management for the Turtle Survival Alliance.
The turtles were transported to the Jacksonville Zoo, where they were unpacked and assessed after their long trip. This proved to be a long night for Cris and the Jacksonville Zoo staff who volunteered to give him a hand (Dino Ferri, Brian Eisele and Steve Gott).
They got started at around 10:00 PM and worked for five hours straight, weighing, measuring, notching and checking for PIT tags in each turtle. Cris was able to check into a hotel at 4:00 AM for just a few hours of sleep before hitting the road again for south Florida.
Later that morning, the turtles were released into their new home, an immense pond on private property. The turtles will form the core of a breeding colony to help assure the species' survival.
"We should start seeing some reproduction in the next year or two, after they have acclimated and settled into their new south Florida home," Hagen said.
Thanks to the generosity of its members and EVA Airlines, the TSA has created a Turtle Rescue Fund for similar emergencies in the future. "If we want to save these amazing creatures, we have to be able to move fast," Hudson said.
The TSA would like to thank everyone who donated funds to make this effort possible. The TSA membership really stepped up in response to this need and large gifts from the Columbus Zoo and the BC Johnson Family put us over the top. We would also like to acknowledge Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden in Hong Kong for the excellent care that they gave the confiscated turtles and for their tireless work to negotiate many of the details of their transport. Thanks also to the Taipei Zoo who helped to negotiate the fantastic sponsorship from EVA Airlines. Special thanks also go out to the Jacksonville Zoo, Bill Ninesling, Kenan Harkin and Zoo Atlanta for their assistance with processing these turtles once they arrived.

For 2011, the NEA has funded, for a second consecutive year, the collaborative Prison Playwrighting Program at the Northpoint Training Center in Burgin, KY between Curt L. Tofteland, Founder & Producing Director of Shakespeare Behind Bars, and the Pioneer Playhouse in Danville, KY.
"I am excited that the Pioneer Playhouse is interested in coordinating and conducting this project at Northpoint. I am always eager to partner with community agencies in events that are beneficial to the inmates and help teach positive new skills and interest," said Steve Haney, Northpoint's warden.
