Beirut - The Flying Club Cup
The Flying Club Cup is the second studio album by Balkan folk influenced band Beirut, originally released on October 9, 2007. Condon said about the name and inspiration for the album: "Back in the early 1900s there used to be this hot air balloon festival in Paris – [the album's] titled after that and after this very bizarre 1910 photo I found [by Léon Gimpel]. It's one of the first color photos ever made, at the World's Fair, and it shows all these ancient hot air balloons about to take off in the middle of Paris. I just thought it was the most surreal image I'd seen in a long time." He also said about the album sound: "I was listening to a lot of Jacques Brel and French chanson music – pop songs shrouded in big, glorious, over the top arrangements and all this drama – and that was in some sense unfamiliar territory to me. So I started buying new instruments and relying on things I wasn't necessarily comfortable with, like French horns and euphoniums, carrying these big, epic big brass parts that I used to do all on trumpets, and working with accordion and organ instead of all ukulele – very much throwing myself in the world of classical pop music, I guess you could say."


I tutored for 5 years in basic Biology, Microbiology, and General Chemistry. I have mastered these subjects and love to help others gain an understanding of these topics!
I was a teaching assistant in both General Biology and General Chemistry and now am the head training officer for medical evaluation and eye recovery at Idaho Lions Eye Bank.

Q: Css transition not working on conditional rendering in React I have a simple checkbox, onClick of which I want to show and hide a div along with some transition delay using React. I can achieve the same effect when not using React. However when I use conditional rendering in react to render the div on click of checkbox. It does not show the effect.
Here's the code which I have so far
import { useState } from "react";
import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  const [checkBox, setCheckBox] = useState(false);
  return (

      <input
        type="checkbox"
        checked={checkBox}
        onChange={() => setCheckBox(!checkBox)}
      ></input>

Hello CodeSandbox

Start editing to see some magic happen!

      {checkBox && (

          Hey the checkbox is checked

      )}

  );
}

Codesandbox link - https://codesandbox.io/s/reverent-cartwright-gk11s?file=/src/App.js:0-659
Any help is much appreciated

A: It works for me.
Try like this.
import { useState } from "react";
import "./styles.css";

export default function App() {
  const [checkBox, setCheckBox] = useState(false);
  return (

      <input
        type="checkbox"
        checked={checkBox}
        onClick={() => setCheckBox(!checkBox)}
      ></input>

Hello CodeSandbox

Start editing to see some magic happen!

        Hey the checkbox is checked

  );
}

And in the css file...
.animate {
  height: 0px;
  overflow: hidden;
  transition: height 0.5s;
}
.show {
  height: 18px;
}

Please confirm here.

A: So for animations to work on conditionally rendered components you have to access component's lifecycle to check if it was rendered before adding your styling. You can either use separate life cycle methods (ComponentDidMount(), ComponentDidUpdate(), ComponentWillUnmount()) or useEffect hook which is basically a combination of multiple lifecycle methods mentioned above. for example, useEffect will always run after component was rendered, so you can have state change inside useEffect to add your class to the component.
Parent Component:
import CondtionalComponent from "../CondtionalComponent";
import { useState } from "react";

const ParentComponent = () => {
  const [showComponent, setShowComponent] = useState(false);

  return (

          <button
            onClick={() => setShowComponent((prevState) => !prevState)}
          >
          </button>
          {showComponent && (
            <CondtionalComponent/>
          )}

  );
};

export default ParentComponent;

ConditionalComponent:
import {useEffect, useState) "react"

const CondtionalComponent = () => {
      const [animate, setAnimate] = useState(false)

      useEffect(()=>{
          setAnimate(true)
          //empty dependencies list means it will only run after first render
      },[])

      return(
"whatever"
)
}

export default CondtionalComponent

If you are planning to use a lot of animations after rendering and before unmounting I suggest to use ReactTransitionGroup. More about it here:

Hope it helps:)

"Preacher" Season 1 premiere date. New release date on DateReliz.com: trailers, spoilers, cast.
"Preacher" (Season 1, release date – May 22, 2016) it is a very exciting and unusual series of American manufacturing. The producers are S. Rogan and E. Goldberg. TV channel AMC ordered the first episode in the beginning of 2014. The series is made on basis the famous series of comics that was released by DC Comics, sponsored by Steve Dillan and Garth Ennis. Not long ago, producers announced a second part.
The protagonist is a very extraordinary person that has a dark past. Jesse Custer is rather charismatic and charming young man. He serves in the church in a little town. Young guy works as a preacher in Taxes. For unknown reasons, Custer, or rather his body is becoming a receptacle for a creature that is named Genesis. As it turns out later, Genesis is a child that was born from a very unusual angel and demon Union.
Genesis got qualities of both his parents, which means that it combines the goodness of angels and the anger of demons, he neither good nor bad. The strength of Genesis can be compared with the power of God, and Custer, as its carrier, became the most powerful man on earth. But things are not so good, because all the congregations of the local church have died because of the strength of this creature.
The main hero decides to go in search of God, because there are a lot of questions, the answers to which he would like to get. He wants to know what the creature is the genesis and what its strength is as well, and the main question - why God threw mankind. Custer begins the journey with his faithful companions: the strange vampire known as Cassidy and the preacher`s ex-girlfriend named Tulip.
This strange team will meet a lot of unusual events, people and creatures. On their way they will meet angels, restless souls and followers of strange secret organization that holds management positions in various countries, that giving them the ability to control many of the processes that occur in the world.
The producers spent long seven years, in order to allow the series to appear on the screens. Seth Rogan and Evan Golberg suggested this idea to many TV channels, but everywhere they waited for failure due to a very dark plot of the series. Most companies thought it would not be interesting and very popular.

Robert Gates: When will this man be shown to the door?
gilbertdoctorow	International	 February 13, 2009 7 Minutes
La 'nouvelle politique' bipartisane du Président Obama est déjà fini en ce qui concerne les affaires internes. Le temps est bien arrivé d'appliquer la même leçon dans le domaine des affaires militaires et étrangères. Chef du Pentagon Robert Gates est un dinosaure de l'age Bush qui doit partir.
Une Note par Gilbert Doctorow
Mis à jour vendredi, le 13 février 2009
by Gilbert Doctorow
At his prime time press conference last night, President Barack Obama put aside the 'new politics' of bipartisanship which was a central feature of his electoral campaign. He hit out at Republican critics on Capitol Hill who are withholding approval of his $800 billion economic recovery package, calling them apostles of a failed philosophy. He reminded his listeners that the election of November 2008 had been precisely about repudiation of failed theories that got us into the mess.
Coherence dictates that the same rule of partisan scrutiny now be applied to the security and international affairs team which President Obama selected from among the mainstream Democrats and prominent Republicans who got us into the foreign relations mess which constitutes the Bush legacy. I submit that the first to go should be Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who is an unrepentant exponent of 'permanent war.' A good initial step towards his removal would be to muzzle the Secretary so that he keeps his rude thoughts to himself.
I say this with an eye to the article entitled "A Balanced Strategy: Reprogramming the Pentagon for a New Age" that he has just published in the January-February issue of Foreign Affairs magazine. In every way, the mind-set and the policies of Secretary Gates make you wonder who indeed won the election of November, 2008, the Democrats or the Republicans.
Straightaway, it must be said that Gates' article resembles not so much a thoughtful analytical essay as it does a pep talk to his colonels. This pertains especially to the passages devoted to "those cultural traits that have made the U.S. armed forces successful." However, more generally it reads like a document for internal consumption among the committed.
If I had to find an equivalent in corporate life, I would imagine a company in the health care field, like Johnson & Johnson, where we read in glowing terms about the rising demand for, say, stents, in keeping with the rising incidence of arterial blockages among the male population. Or I would recall the corporate affairs memo to investors from a French manufacturer of replica guns firing pellets claiming that the company's move into the American market held great promise given that 'the Americans are armed to the teeth.' Such literature is not normally fed to the general public, who tend to find it offensive.
The moral equivalent which recurs in Gates's essay is 'the American way of war.' Way of war?
Or as he restates it under the heading Sustaining the Institution: "The ability to fight and adapt to a diverse range of conflicts, sometimes simultaneously, fits squarely within the long history and the finest traditions of the American practice of arms."
For those of us with a memory of U.S. foreign policy measured in decades and not just in months, there is a terrible sense of déjà vu in Gates argument that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan must be prosecuted through to successful conclusion lest U.S. credibility be put in jeopardy. This is the infamous domino theory that was used to justify the hopeless and horrific war in Vietnam. That war was ultimately lost but the world did not come to an end.
Gates' call for a 'significant U.S. military and economic commitment' to Afghanistan for years to come is totally irresponsible absent a rigorous and well implemented plan for negotiated settlement that involves the country's neighbors, all of whom are pursuing their own interests on Afghan soil.
However, that is nothing compared to his description of the ongoing war on terror, which will consume vast resources in both military and state-building effort, including promotion of better governance and development programs. The U.S. would be committed over the long term to defeating extremist movements and their ideologies. This is an open-ended obligation at social engineering around the world.
A major component in this policy of dealing with 'failed states' so as to deny their use to extremists intent on harming the U.S. is maintaining 'small wars' capabilities of the Pentagon. This means not merely the ability to go in and take control, but the capacity to 'maintain security, provide aid and comfort, begin reconstruction, and prop up local governments and public services.' In short, Gates is legitimizing American neo-imperialism from now to Kingdom come.
Gates generously wishes to hand back to U.S. Foreign Service, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the U.S. Information Agency the resources in manpower and budgetary allocations that the Pentagon took over in the days of Donald Rumsfeld when U.S. foreign policy was fully militarized. However, raising the profile of civilian administrators and reducing the presence of the military and their corporate subcontractors is not 'change we can believe in.' It is, in fact, the resuscitation of a propaganda and subversion apparatus that w
as dismantled at the end of the Cold War with good reason. And if extremism is genuinely a security threat to the civilized world today, why are we not acting against it in multilateral settings such as the agencies of the United Nations rather than unilaterally, as proposed by Gates?
The thrust of the article is to marshal support for further building the counterinsurgency skills and ability to wage asymmetric or irregular conflict. In rather vivid language, Gates says that the U.S. military has to have 'an ability to kick down the door' that is matched by its 'ability to clean up the mess and even rebuild the house afterward.
Gates feels comfortable enough with his audience to tell us about initiatives that will 'better integrate and coordinate U.S. military efforts with civilian agencies as well as engage the expertise of the private sector, including nongovernmental organizations and academia.' Such notions come easily to a former head of the Central Intelligence Agency, but they can only result in a further curtailment of pluralism, undermining the foundations of American democracy.
Turning from the war on terror to 'conventional threats,' Gates has the gall to speak about the increase of defense spending by Russia and China and their modernization programs, knowing as he does that the Pentagon budget is greater than all of the rest of the world combined. At the same time, he willfully deprecates the present standing of Russian conventional military strength compared to the Soviet period and so encourages misunderstanding of the nature of the challenge Russia poses in another area, strategic weapons of mass destruction, where existing and planned treaties seek to enforce parity, not American predominance.
Gates' comments on the Caucasus war of August 2008 do not pass a reality check. He calls it a 'relatively crude – although brutally effective – conventional offensive' by the Russians The well-known fact, documented extensively by an OSCE report, that the casus belli was the Georgian assault on the civilian population of Tskhinvali seems not to have caught his attention. He goes on to speak of Russia's 'sophisticated cyber attack and well-coordinated propaganda campaign' against the Georgians. Such statements may go over well among his colonels, but they are an insult to the intelligence of the general readership of Foreign Affairs. If there is one thing the Russians were faulted for during and after the military campaign in Georgia, it was precisely the pitiful nature of their PR activities in the face of the loquacious and well prepared Mikheil Saakashvili who had a CNN microphone in front of his face much of the time.
In speaking about arms supplied to Hezbollah and other terrorist groups, Gates irresponsibly points an accusatory finger at the Chinese and Russian arms sales. Coming from the world's biggest armaments salesman, this is remarkably cheeky
If Gates has any claim to being considered a moderate, it is his call for modesty in the exercise of U.S. power and the recognition that war is hell, with outcomes that are unpredictable even when you have massive technological advantages. However, one may be justified in asking exactly how modest and restrained is the following statement from the penultimate remarks of Gates' essay in Foreign Affairs:
"The United States is the strongest and greatest nation on earth, but there are still limits on what it can do. The power and global reach of its military have been an indispensable contributor to world peace and must remain so. But not every outrage, every act of aggression, or every crisis can or should elicit a U.S. military response." [italics mine]
It is refreshing to see such candor, but the mission he blithely assigns to the U.S. military is deplorable and should be recognized as such.
Gates remains outrageous straight to the last paragraph of his essay in which he quotes the historian Donald Kagan on the need for 'preponderant power' if you want to preserve the peace as well as 'the will to accept the burdens and responsibilities." The authority Gates is citing was one of the signatories of the infamous 1997 Neoconservative manifesto, the Project for the New American Century, alongside such worthies as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. These are the practitioners who turned the George W. Bush presidency into a nightmare of unilateralist American bullying and aggression. That very document anticipated the notion of preemptive military action against possible threats which later became the Bush Doctrine. Is anybody in the Obama administration taking notice? If not, then I am afraid the elections achieved little more than to put an African-American in the White House.

In Catching Infinity, an eternity happened whilst Alice and PW were sitting on a rickety, old punt on the Cherwell and the music of Christ Church Choir reverberated in PW's mind. It was magic, because the choir was silent that night.
In its prequel, An Evening In Wonderland, it was during the walk from a teashop on The High to Magdalen Deer Meadow, when Alice and PW stopped and saw ethereal orbs of light dancing in front of them like magic. But in reality, those were just the light from passing cars, nothing more.
Magic is to be found in mundane things and ordinary moments.
In October, in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight, I saw the most amazing array of stars as we were walking on the beach late at night. Having lived in big cities for most of my last ten years, I was enchanted.
I have always been fascinated by them. When I was a student at Oxford, I used to tag along with a group of expert friends who would go up to White Horse Hills to gaze at the night sky. We would sit on horse blankets, sustained with thermos of hot milky tea (and sometimes, stronger beverages). On clear nights, in the countryside away from light pollution, with the naked eye you can see up to 19,000,000,000,000,000 miles away, very easily sky. You don't need telescope or binoculars (you just need to know what to look for), and you can easily see stars from other galaxies like the Andromeda that is 2.5 million light years away. Considering that light travels round the earth seven times in one second, that is one heck of a distance away!
And that's the thing about stars that fascinated me. It was the first thing that moved me away from the world of Newtonian reality that we all are entrenched in to a magical Universe beyond and within. That's when magic becomes reality, when we are presented with unequivocal proofs that the things we cannot see with our own eyes (and thus rationalise) actually do exist. Logic and common sense is based on everyday experience, not upon the Universe as it is revealed through the marvels of modern technologies that allow us to gaze deep into the heart of an atom or back to the newborn Universe. The quantum model of our Universe encompasses principles that contradict not only our everyday experience but also our intuitive concept of reality.
If you look at the photo accompanying this post, you will see a small fraction of galaxies that are in existence….and each galaxy contains billions of stars. And if someone on the other end of the galaxy is checking us out right this moment, he/she/it will see a bunch of Neanderthals clubbing each other.

I always find events like DS6 stimulating and exciting. There are lots of good things about being your own boss, but one thing I miss about my former workplace is the interaction with other people doing a similar job. So festivals, conferences and events are the places where I am inspired and invigorated. Ideas flow, new contacts are made and I am challenged to take a fresh look at how I work.
I have been showing people how to use iMovie on the iPad 2 to create digital stories as well as demonstrating how useful iMovie '11 on the Mac has become. Lots of interest today in the service I offer and particularly the manuals I give to participants in the Training Trainers workshops. I promise now I will do some more work and make them available for download – for a small fee of course – as my own boss I have to generate my own income too.
So as the organised part of the day at this digital storytelling festival draws to a close I'm looking forward to my last evening in Aberystwyth with Angeline and Aurelia before I return to York and they head home for Singapore via London. I just hope the restaurant I found last year is still open for business.
For those of you who meant to make the time to be at DS6 – don't miss out next year. Start planning now!


A T-shirt for girls sold by JC Penney caused an online uproar this week for its message suggesting that pretty girls don't do homework.
Sold in sizes 7 to 16, the shirt said, "I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me." The description of the shirt read: "Who has time for homework when there's a new Justin Bieber album out? She'll love this tee that's just as cute and sassy as she is."
But many bloggers and others saw the shirt as anything but cute, decrying what they viewed as an unhealthy message for young girls.
"I have three bright, funny nieces who are 7, 5 and 5 and I never want them to believe the message on this shirt is true," Jessica Wakeman wrote on TheFrisky.com. "Its sale price ($9.99 down from the original $16.99) seems to indicate that people may be too smart to buy into such girl-undermining messaging," Jen Doll wrote on The Village Voice blog. Jenna Sauers on Jezebel.com said that the tee "explicitly associates intelligence with being a boy, and looking pretty with being a girl." An online petition demanding that JC Penney stop selling the shirt quickly gathered more than a thousand signatures.
J.C. Penney is committed to being America's destination for great style and great value for the whole family. We agree that the "Too pretty" t-shirt does not deliver an appropriate message, and we have immediately discontinued its sale. Our merchandise is intended to appeal to a broad customer base, not to offend them. We would like to apologize to our customers and are taking action to ensure that we continue to uphold the integrity of our merchandise that they have come to expect.
"One of the reasons we're so outraged is that this is not what we stand for. We've facilitated over $100 million [in donations] over the past 10 years to support after-school programs in local communities. That's a key important message for us."
What do you think of the T-shirt? Would you let your daughter wear it?


I really love overnight camp.
Take a group of kids, get rid of their mobile devices, electronics, normal daily routines and, yes, parents and place them on an adventure. What kids get is the opportunity to discover so much more about who they are and those around them. An adventure is essential to the soul. It feeds the need to discover the natural world and, in doing so, teaches you about yourself.
Just last week, I worked with a kid who was petrified about participating in what we call 'The Big Gulp'. Essentially it's a giant swing that you are harnessed in to. Your friends haul a rope, which pulls you to a high point. At said point, you release another rope and take the worlds largest swing, usually screaming like a banshee all the way. This particular boy was not going to go. Nope. He was faced with something he viewed as too risky and too scary. However, I'm good at talking people onto the cliff, and he went on the swing. In a matter of seconds, that boy was transformed from terrified to being 'All That'. The opportunity to accomplish something that seemed so scary provided a serious confidence booster and a well-deserved smile afterwards.
Our campers at Echo (ages 13-16) are a diverse group of teens. They are a blend of racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds. Yet, when faced with a long hike into the backcountry in hot weather, they come together to support, care for and elevate everyone around them. Faced with an obstacle, they come together and not apart. They find joy as one and learned some serious lessons that they will take with them long after camp is over about what makes a person great and how diversity enriches the group dynamic.
When our kids go off to camp, they get themselves up at 7 AM, paddle down a river, zip line through a forest and discover a shooting star…and they do it all without their parents. That realization has the curious effect of blossoming confidence and independence. Their wings begin to grow and they return home happier because you gave them that chance to be independent.
If I look at the world around me, it's clear we have a lot of issues. Wars, politics, racial division, crime, murder are all at the forefront of the news hour. It's good to know we've got camp as a safe place to grow great character and it's good to know that parents understand the value of making that part of their kids' life. Camp is a force for good when done right. It's an opportunity to bring out the best in kids and those who work with them.


The editorial ``Peace For Terror,'' Aug. 17, and the opinion-page essay ``US Policy at Odds With a Just Mideast Peace,'' Aug. 24, contain egregious arguments that suggest an anti-Israel bias.
Perhaps you have forgotten that what is termed the ``peace process'' is being conducted in accordance with the provisions of UN Resolution 242. As such, Israel is not obliged to withdraw from territories under occupation until its ``right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force'' has been satisfied.
Hizbullah terrorists operating from Lebanon oppose the peace process and are acting under cover of Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. To suggest that the Israeli retaliatory attacks are illegal is misleading at best and untruthful in the extreme.
Not only the US, but the United Nations and Israel's traditional enemies have found no reason to condemn these defensive actions other than to express indignation over the loss of civilian lives, albeit unintended. Alex Rose, West Orange, N.J.

Q: How can I run the same promise again depending on the result from the previous run? I have some code that is wrapped in a promise. This code goes and edits some records in a remote DB and returns with the number of edited records. If the number of edited records is larger than 0 (i.e., some work has been done), then I'd like to run the same method again and again until I get a 0 back (i.e., no more records need editing).
I've tried some different ways, but they all do not terminate (i.e., the resolve is not called) or they don't run properly.
First version I tried:
const doEdits = () => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    someDB.performEdits()
    .then(count => {
      if (count > 0) {
        doEdits()
      } else {
        resolve()
      }
    })
    .catch(reject)
  })
}

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  someDB.init()
  .then(doEdits)
  .catch(reject)
})

Second version I tried:
const doEdits = () => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    someDB.performEdits()
    .then(count => {
      resolve(count)
    })
    .catch(reject)
  })
}

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  someDB.init()
  .then(doEdits)
  .then(count => {
    if (count > 0 ) {
      return doEdits()   // 'doEdits()' did not work...
    } else {
      resolve()
    }
  })
  .catch(reject)
})

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

A: Yes, you were never calling resolve in the if branch. But you shouldn't use a resolve function anyway here, avoid the Promise constructor antipattern! Just do
function doEdits() {
  return someDB.performEdits().then(count => {
    if (count > 0) {
      return doEdits();
    } else {
      return undefined; // ???
    }
  });
}

return someDB.init().then(doEdits);

A: Don't Make Spaghetti
You really shouldn't need to create a bunch of promises, especially since the underlying library you are using is already returning you a promise.This approach should accomplish your goal without all the extra sauce:
const doEdits = count => {
  if(count > 0) {
    return someDB.performEdits().then(doEdits);
  }
};

return someDB.init()
  .then(() => {
    performEdits().then(doEdits)
  });

This will chain the promises from the subsequent db calls to the first promise. Any subsequent thens (and catches) will operate on the returned promise (ie, wait for it to resolve or reject), which will potentially be replaced by a new promise when resolved before being passed to them.

Why your code didn't work
Once you decide you're going to instantiate a Promise, you have taken on the responsibility of handling the resolve and reject callbacks - and committed your self to callback hell. Exactly the kind of thing Promises are supposed to solve.
In both snippets, as soon as you see count > 0 and call into doEdits, you abandon the previous Promise, instantiate a new one, and end up with a trail of unresolved promises in your wake. You would need to pass the resolve and reject functions into the new promise and make sure they get resolved or rejected as appropriate when the new promise resolves or rejects.
Don't Do This
function doEdits(previousPromise) {
  someDB.performEdits()
  .then((count) => {
    if(count > 0) {
      doEdits(this);
    } else {
      resolve();
    }
  })
};

return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  someDB.init()
  .then(() => {
    someDB.performEdits()
    .then((count) => {
      if(count > 0) {
        doEdits(this);
      } else {
        resolve();
      }
    })
  })
});

Because it's wasteful, and also doesn't handle the case if performEdits iteration 33 rejects. In theory, this might work, but it's a whole lot harder to reason about.

'Not easy to score against India'
HEINRICH KLAASEN
Pti, Centurion
South Africa's newest swashbuckler Heinrich Klaasen has credited JP Duminy for "taking the fear out" of his game, saying the skipper's presence was a key factor in his match-winning knock against India in the second Twenty20 International on Wednesday.
Klaasen smashed 69 off 30 balls as the Proteas won by six wickets last night to level the three-match series 1-1. The big-hitting batsman said that Duminy, who put on 97 runs off 49 balls for the third wicket with Klaasen, told him to go big.
"Duminy was the key factor to my whole innings. Second over or the first over I faced, he told me this over needs to go for 10. He told me to just play my normal game and take the bowlers on. Luckily it worked out," said Klaasen.
"The way JP told me to go, this over needs to go for 20, it takes all the fear out of your game. Then it is very important to keep a calm head. There was a stage when I was swinging quite hard," he added.
"They (the Indians) are very skilful bowlers. So it is not easy to get a run a ball," he added.
It was the fastest half-century in T20I cricket by a South African batsman, not only against India but also at Centurion. The knock was made more special for Klaasen by the fact that he got it on his home ground.
Klaasen said his innings was better than the Wanderers' cameo wherein rain and a truncated game also provided a T20-like situation for him to chase the total down.
"This one definitely wins - my home ground. It's something you dream about as a young kid, to play for your country on your home ground, and to win a game for your country. This one takes the cherry on the cake," said Klaasen. "In the first five or six overs, we actually tried to keep up with Duckworth-Lewis. Luckily on the fifth or the sixth over, the drizzle stopped. I said to JP, we can now actually stay one boundary under the DL target, and it worked out," he added.
The constant drizzle helped ease out conditions as the pitch had proven slow earlier on. Even so, it is a nature of day-night games at Supersport Park that the side batting second has an advantage, as Klaasen pointed out.
"I think it is massively due to the dew that falls at night that changes the wicket completely," he said.
"I think the way we actually batted tonight, it's a good way to chase a total. Keep up with the rate and keep up with Duckworth-Lewis. That just gave us small targets. When to go, when not to go, it is about setting small targets and it is maybe something to think about going forward," he added.
Talking about soaking the pressure, the keeper-batsman said, "That's great fun. But in that moment you don't usually think how fun it is. Next ball you think where it is going, so need to figure couple of plans and areas where to hit, try to figure out where he is going to bowl to."
Klaasen has progressed quickly in international cricket after he was called up to the ODI squad in Quinton de Kock's absence owing to injury. It has been down to two match-winning knocks from him that South Africa have beaten India twice in eight matches during this limited-overs' leg of the tour.
However, Klaasen opined that de Kock doesn't have to look over his shoulder just yet.
The finale will be played at Newlands on Saturday, with the series pegged at 1-1.
"There is a massive gap between international cricket and our domestic cricket. I know on Saturday, India will come up with new plans and the education will be good as well," Klaasen signed off.

There's no shortage of materials that can be used to build a retaining wall, but among the most popular is stone. However, simply choosing stone over other materials like timber or gabion isn't the only decision landscape architects, homeowners and contractors face. Neither is price. Identifying and using elements with properties that align with the climate and a myriad of other factors unique to a specific retaining wall project will help ensure desired results are achieved and maintained for a lifetime.
Strong and versatile, the sleek aesthetics of poured concrete are at home in modern landscapes, be they small residential retaining walls or massive commercial structures like those found along freeways. Largely unadorned, poured concrete is assumed to be budget-friendly and simple to construct; however, both are misperceptions. The skill and materials required to construct the necessary pouring forms, footings and rebar skeletons — not to mention handle the finicky nature of poured concrete — can quickly drive costs up. Poured concrete also has a tendency to absorb moisture, which can contribute to surface damage, cracking and premature structural failures.
Concrete block is a longtime favorite for retaining wall construction in a number of settings including midcentury architecture, due mainly to the easy-to-stack design, wide availability and low cost. To capitalize on these attractive characteristics, Standard Concrete Block (CMU) offerings have evolved from the very familiar "cinder block" structure — 8" x 8" x 16" with two identical openings — to include a textured, precast split face block, entire systems designed to mimic the look of natural stone, and a wealth of color options for custom dying.
However, there are considerable drawbacks to consider beyond the limitations of precast materials like cracking, crazing and staining. The two most prominent both relate to a lack of wall footing. Since a solid structure doesn't underpin a concrete block wall, construction is limited to a maximum height of four feet, and it may lose strength and structural integrity over time. Additionally, concrete blocks are susceptible to the adverse effects of salt deicers — including cracking and crazing. Salt spray from snow plows and the use of deicers alongside concrete block retaining walls can lead to deterioration and should make those in colder climates think twice before choosing the material.
Among the most durable materials for retaining walls, brick complements a host of residential and commercial buildings. It's important to note that brick retaining walls are rarely solid brick, usually incorporating concrete masonry units or steel and grout inserts upon which brick or thin brick veneers are placed. Despite the labor intensiveness, lack of color variety and its need for special drainage, the advantages of using brick — eco-friendliness, low maintenance, weather and fire resistance, durability — outweigh the downsides and justify a relatively steep cost per square foot.
A combination of luxury and versatility, stone veneer lets you call the shots in terms of retaining wall height, thickness, texture and pattern. Meant to encase solid core walls like those made of concrete masonry units to provide visual appeal and protection, don't write off stone veneer as merely decorative. It is an incredibly tough yet lightweight natural material that can withstand harsh elements with minimal effect.
Making the most of the natural, custom appearance of stone veneer isn't easily accomplished. It requires the experienced eye and design talents of a landscape architect or contractor who can seamlessly match individual stone veneer pieces to existing architecture (as in this transformation of a house into an estate), which is ultimately a worthy investment for this high end material.
Naturally occurring, unquarried boulders are easily the oldest of retaining wall materials, used for hundreds of years to provide function and fashion in colonial, country and English-style gardens. There's no fussiness to a boulder wall. It is intentionally rustic and generally an easy construction, boulder weight and size notwithstanding.
As you might expect, a boulder wall isn't intended for small spaces or for high wall construction as it will serve to dwarf and crowd other structures. Plus, boulder walls are limited in design — "what you see is what you get" — and are prone to water accumulation that can destroy interior wall integrity over time. Boulders are widely available, but you can expect to rack up a substantial transportation bill for these multi-ton building elements.
As durable and impenetrable as boulders, natural stone like Type III dolomitic limestone is far more versatile in terms of size, pattern, texture and color — design latitude that helps natural stone retaining walls fit effortlessly into any setting. While a natural stone wall can be constructed without the aid of mortar or other connecting materials, the sheer weight of some of the stones and the "puzzle piecing" required to make certain patterns work makes construction best left to experienced landscape architects, contractors or stone craftsmen. Quarried from deep within the earth, natural stone is considered a pristine, unparalleled building material and is priced accordingly.
Retaining walls add beauty and value to residential and commercial properties, especially when constructed from materials that align with the design, environment and potential limitations of the surroundings.

Q: Is there a way to drop(paste) file in to the directory using the keyboard? I'm organizing a lot of files and directories,
so for example,
within directory A there is directory B, C and file X, Y
DIR A - DIR B
  - DIR C

  - file X

  - file Y

  - file Z

I want to move file X, Y in to DIR B,
method 1. select files, and then drag and drop with mouse
method2. select files, cut those files (ctrl-x) and then go in DIR B, paste those files (ctrl-v) inside

since there are so many dir & files (100s & 1000s), method 1 using manual mouse control
is somewhat tiresome, so I want to use the keyboard mostly
I want to use methode 2 but directly pasting on the DIR-B (by selecting it and ctrl-v on it)
doesn't work, that you should go inside the actual DIR-B, then post.

is there a way to directly 'paste inside the DIR-B' by keyboard shortcuts,
without going inside the actual directory, but by selecting it only?

is there a good 'file manager' software that is useful for these kind of keyboard oriented inteface?

A: In Windows Explorer, type the following into the address bar:
shell:sendto
That will open a special folder in the path C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In there, make a shortcut to the directory you want to copy to, such as DIR-B.
After that, you can go to the location of your files that you want to copy.  Select them, and right-click.  In the pop-up menu, you should see "Send to >".  When you mouse over that, a sub-menu will appear, and DIR-B should be one of the options.  Just click on it, and it will copy the selected files to that location.

Our LOVESKIN botanical products are comprised of ethically sourced and where possible, organic oils.
It is important to us that people worldwide comprehend the wealth of benefits, linked with using botanical oils on their skin. It is something we are passionate about and believe in wholeheartedly. They are the source of powerful antioxidants dense in nutrients to nourish, repair and soothe our skin.
Our LOVESKIN products are composed of only blended botanical oils and are therefore active and nutrient dense. No fillers or nasties.
The key to a youthful glow is keeping the skin hydrated. Often fine lines are formed because the skin dries out. As we have already detailed, because most standard creams and beauty products contain only a very small percentage of oil, they don't hydrate our skin enough. Oils are lipoholic. This means they love fats, and therefore they pass through and are absorbed by the lipid or fat layer of the skin faster, preventing water loss and plumping the skin with the moisture it needs leaving it with a fresh, dewy glow.
Many of the oils contained in our LOVESKIN products are powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the skin by limiting the production of free radicals which can cause severe damage to skin cells. Free radicals are healthy cells which deteriorate as a result of molecular instability, also known as oxidation. This instability is brought about by the introduction of stress, illness, environmental toxins and insufficient dietary nutrients. In an effort to regain stability the free radicals seek out and steal electrons from stable cells, leaving that cell seriously damaged. This results in the appearance of wrinkles and the breakdown of the skin's collagen.
Oils aid in the prevention of irritation and inflammation. One of our favourite ingredients is Borage Seed oil, a powerful antioxidant known for its soothing, repairing and anti-inflammatory properties.

When they were first shown in 1978, the works of Austrian feminist artist Renate Bertlemann were criticized for being too explicit and gratuitous – to the point that her participation in the exhibition Museum des Geldes was eventually cancelled due to complaints from the audience. Almost 40 years (and several women's rights protests) later, her rebellious installations have finally found recognition within private art galleries and major exhibitions. Preoccupied with notions of love, sexuality and the representation of female and male bodies, her multimedia practice challenged conventional gender roles. Now, Richard Saltoun Gallery is displaying some of her most iconic works, including the Bru(s)tkasten (Breast incubator) (1984), together with a series of drawings and photographs.

To cover the six-decades long, constantly evolving artistic practice of Robert Rauschenberg in a single exhibition is no easy task, but Tate Modern has risen to the challenge. From his epochal Combines – in which he merged materials as much as methods – to the early works he produced while at Black Mountain College (the art school where he encountered friend and avant-garde composer John Cage), this first posthumous retrospective reveals the experimental attitude of the artist toward both his practice and his life. The show takes the viewer on a journey through the multifaceted career of one of the most prominent figures in modern American art.
The works of contemporary artist Rehana Zaman oscillate between documentary, performance and digital narratives. For her first solo exhibition at Tenderpixel, Zaman was inspired by American writer Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee (1982) – the title of the one video work displayed at the show, "Tell me the story Of all these things", is a reference to the novel. Both works refer to notions of dislocation and fragmentation; the video – formed by three different screens that spans on the two floors of the gallery – focuses on intimate staged conversations the artist had with her two sisters. They address their experiences as British Muslim women, juxtaposed with unsettling digital images of a female body in an arid desert landscape.
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, until 21 May 2017.
The deserved popularity of Joan Eardley's paintings of children playing in Glasgow slums, and earthy landscapes of typical villages on the northern coast of Scotland, is once again confirmed in this new exhibition. However, what might surprise the viewer is a collection of sketches and drawings, displayed here for the first time. They reveal insights into the development of Eardley's style and her obsession with both urban and rural Scottish life. Though her career was tragically short, Eardley's figurative works left an enduring mark on Scottish art history.

Roger Hiorns' often-undefinable assembled objects require the viewer to let go of their preconceptions about the function and meaning of everyday materials. Talking about his use of materials, Hiorns states, "It becomes a process of human empowerment to re-use and re-propose the power of objects simply left lying in the streets." Through his practice, Hiorns often re-contextualizes and reshapes found plastic, machine engines and foam, producing high-impact installations that fill the exhibition space with their abnormal designs. Hiorns often includes performance in his work; during the show at IKON visitors can witness the interaction between a young performer and a jet engine positioned in the gallery.

A Little Bird Told Me
Morgan Kayser
They say Aunt Jane had birds in her head. Each time she had a thought she didn't speak out loud, it turned into a bird. When she had a lot of thoughts, the birds would build up and chirp and twitter and peck at the sides of her skull to be let out. They gave her terrible headaches.
Elsewhere, little girls sat next to their mothers to watch them put on makeup, but in Aunt Jane's neighborhood the girls gathered to watch her pull the birds from the pores in her scalp, easing them out like splinters from a swollen toe. Aunt Jane, who never had children of her own, welcomed them. She'd turn up the bright lights of her vanity like it was a stage, making the whole thing a magic show. Only it wasn't a trick: she'd brush her long brown hair and spot a little corner of orange beak or tuft of blue or red feather and pinch and pick at it until the spot was big enough to grip with tweezers. Then she'd pull hard. The bright birds were easiest to find—she once had a pale brown sparrow stuck in her head for weeks.
The birds narrowed their bodies like little missiles, sliding out in one fluid motion. They'd lie on the floor or the bathroom counter, catching their breath, their little chests puffing up and down. Then they'd fly through the open window, which Uncle Jessie said made the house drafty in winter and wasted air conditioning in summer. He wanted to catch the birds and keep them in cages, maybe even sell the expensive ones, like the parrots. But Aunt Jane said no. They had to be free.
When the birds first started coming, back when Aunt Jane was a teenager, she tried to find some help. The ornithologist at the aviary downtown told her he didn't know anything about heads and recommended she see a shrink, though he did give her a picture book of rare birds to bring to him if they popped out. The shrink didn't believe her at first, until she plucked out a whole bald eagle in the middle of his office. After cleaning up the loose feathers (and putting one in his suit pocket like a boutonniere), he had her lie down, talk about her feelings, and describe her dreams. But finally he admitted that he didn't know anything about birds, so he prescribed a few anti-anxiety pills for hysteria, which sat in the cabinet untouched. They're still sitting there, the bright white labels yellowing until they blend in with the orange plastic bottles.
The biggest trouble with the birds, besides the pain and inconvenience, was that she had to just blurt out everything she was thinking, because if she didn't, all those birds would build up and she'd have a whole Sunday church hat coming out of her head. When she tried to throw her husband a surprise party, her head birthed a whole adult peacock, its brightly colored plumage cascading downward from her neck like confetti. When she tried to be polite and compliment the pastor's wife's dry chicken at a dinner party, a parrot burst from her hair, squawking about marinades and cook times and basting. She was never invited to another dinner party. For all the virtue of truth-telling that people spouted, they sure didn't like to hear it. When she pined after other men—the grocery store manager, the postman, the Channel 7 news anchor—several lusty robins popped out, thrusting their red chests at her husband. She didn't really want to cheat, she told him, just wanted the company. Just wanted the warmth.
And so Aunt Jane became known as a very forward woman. Even now, if the little girls in the family get too brash, grandmother says, "Don't you be talking like Janey, now," and they pipe down and sit quiet like ladies.
Aunt Jane had no choice but to say everything that crossed her mind, only it was harder than she thought. How was she to know which thoughts were significant enough to create a bird? Even when she was being candid, she'd still feel the prickling every few minutes and there'd be a little chickadee or sometimes a great, fat pigeon. Did she have to tell people when she had to go to the bathroom? When she had an itch? When she looked up at the sky and thought idly, "it's so blue today," should she expect a blue jay to pop out? To be safe, she said everything. Literally everything. They say you could hear her coming a mile off, her muttering getting louder and louder like there was a train approaching.
But nobody wants to be with a woman like that, one who can't stop herself from commenting on the women's cooking or the men's asses or God forbid some political thing in the newspaper. Uncle Jessie left. The neighborhood girls stopped coming by. Aunt Jane got lonely. Eventually she stopped talking entirely, resigning herself to a position in front of the open window, pulling the birds out and setting them free, a constant cycle of thinking and discarding.
Nobody knows how she died. All the other parts of her story have been repeated from neighbor to neighbor over garden fences or coffee tables. Every secret she ever told is catalogued like names in the front of the family Bible. How can this one part be a mystery?
Maybe that was her revenge, her one secret. Maybe, when she spent those last months alone, she stopped pulling the birds out. Maybe she let them build up, let them twitter and flit and peck at the inside of her skull until finally they all burst out like an explosion, taking the last of her thoughts with them. Maybe they still sit in clusters on power lines and in Spanish-moss-nested live oaks, discussing Aunt Jane's pecan pie, the postman's shapely calves, how she just wanted someone to listen.

How are SN2 transition states stabilised by adjacent double bonds and carbonyl groups?
It is my understanding that transition states in an SN2 reaction have some filled and some empty orbital character, as we have the backside of the C-X σ* beginning to fill with electrons from the HOMO of the nucleophile, forming a C-Nu σ bond in the process.
If we have an adjacent carbonyl group to the α carbon, I have learnt that the TS is then only stabilised by the C-O π*, i.e. by electron withdrawal and not by the C-O π.
However, with adjacent double bonds, I have learnt that the TS is stabilised by both the C-C π and the C-C π*.
I was wondering why this would be the case, as looking at the shape of the orbitals, there seems no reason that the C-O π could not align itself so that the partly-empty p orbital in the TS is parallel to the lobes of this MO, therefore stabilising the TS as new lower energy MOs form.
Also, with regard to the best representation of these structures, I always see partial negative charges on the Leaving group and the Nucleophile in the transition state, but never the positive charge located on the α carbon. Surely if with adjacent carbonyl groups we only have stabilisation by electron withdrawal, it is valid to put the partial positive charge there?

$\begingroup$ I think both the homo and the lumo will stabilise the ts in both cases but with a carbonyl the polarity means that the lumo has a large coefficient on carbon but the homo has a small coefficient. So it's dominated by the interaction with the pi star in the case of a carbonyl. $\endgroup$ – RobChem Jul 21 '17 at 20:12
$\begingroup$ @loolipop I didn't realise until I'd written an answer, but could you cite a source for the proposed different modes of stabilisation that you mention.... $\endgroup$ – NotEvans. Aug 28 '17 at 18:07
Unsaturated groups conjugated to the site of attack (aromatic rings, alkenes, carbonyl groups) all tend to have the effect of increasing the rate of an SN2 reaction at that centre.
As an example, displacement by nucleophilic iodide in acetone as a solvent is ca. 30x faster for allyl chloride than ethyl chloride, with benzyl chloride being faster still.[1]
The effect was initially thought to be steric, given that unsaturated groups are sp2 hybridised (and therefore planar) and allow the nucleophile a less hindered approach, but many empirical and computational studies now dispute that, with a stereoelectronic effect[*] widely accepted (though sterics may play a small role).
Empirical Evidence for a Stereoelectronic Effect
One of the earliest indications that the effect was stereoelectronic was via a series of experiments conducted by Payne (shown below) [2].The open (acyclic) compound reacts ca. 8000x faster than the closed (cyclic) compound. To understand why, we have to consider the orbitals involved...
The Orbital Explanation
If we accept a stereoelectronic effect (coming back to Payne's findings later), we then have to decide whether the effect is a ground state effect (weakening of the C-X bond, raising the energy) or a transition state effect (stabilisation of the TS, lowering the energy). To quote Fleming (emphasis my own):[3]
[This conjugation] may partly operate by raising the energy of the starting material, but most probably [the conjugating groups] are primarily operating to lower the energy of the transition structures.
In practice, computational studies [4] prove this to be the case, with the pi bond interacting with the principal axis of the SN2 transition state (sigma-pi conjugation):
Calculation of bond lengths also agrees with this mode of conjugation, with the C-C bond length decreasing upon stabilisation of the TS:
Hopefully, by this point, Payne's experimental results are obvious. In the cyclic structure, there is no way of allowing the pi-orbitals on benzene to correctly align with the SN2 transition state (given that we know the TS is linear, not bent).
One final thing to notice is that in both the alkene and carbonyl case (as in your question) the dominant effect is thought to be as above (sigma-pi conjugation).

In case of an adjacent carbonyl group, the carbons attached to the leaving group and oxygen are electrophillic due to the presence of a σ * and a π* low-energy orbital respectively. These combine to form a LUMO which is even lower in energy. So each carbon becomes more electrophillic due to the other. Now, the nucleophile may attack the C=O but it is reversible. In such a case, Nucleophillic substitution is highly favourable as the displacement of leaving group is irreversible.
As for the allylic carbon, the carbon in the transition state is electron deficient as it forms "partial bonds" involving 2 electrons, which is remedied by the electron donating ability of the π bond, stabilising the T.S., thereby increasing the rate. The stearic hindrance is small enough to be neglected(compared to a more expansive sp3 carbon)

$\begingroup$ Without an image showing the alignment, I can make no sense out of this. $\endgroup$ – Jan Aug 29 '17 at 4:17
In case of Beta Carbonyl groups, Carbon attached to Oxygen through a double bond has a partial positive charge due to inductive effect and the nucleophile in most cases have negative charge. Therefore due to the electrostatic force between this partial positive charge and negative charge of nucleophile (electrostatic forces are very strong forces in chemistry), the nucleophile is attracted towards reaction site i.e. near the carbon bonded with leaving group. This increases the rate of reaction.
The double bond has a high electron density. Therefore, it helps the nucleophile pull the small carbon loop in the backside attack. Same applies for the ajdacent lone pair.

We need a new kind of operating system for the 5G era
7 min read 7 min 3 comments 3
Authored by: Stefan Möllenhoff Dec 28, 2019
The Internet of Everything requires a new type of operating system. Google and Huawei, among others, are already working at full speed on new platforms for the 5G era. Android, iOS, and Windows will lose importance.
I still remember the CES 2015 in Las Vegas very well - as usual at the beginning of January somewhere between New Year's Eve hangover and jet lag. But at the opening keynote, the tiredness vanished quickly: the then Samsung Electronics CEO Boo-Keun Yoon spoke about his visions for the Internet of Things - and made an almost unbelievable promise: From 2020, "every new Samsung appliance will be an IoT device, whether an air purifier or a kitchen stove".
Not only Samsung, but all possible electronics manufacturers surround us slowly but surely with a network of smart devices. Even if there's still time before we reach that 100 percent mark. After all, six percent of the good 1,000 refrigerators listed at German retailer, Saturn, now offer app control. Will Samsung only bring networked devices onto the market next year? We'll see.
But now the question arises: what do we do with all the data generated by the sensors in our refrigerators, humidifiers, microwaves, televisions, cars, smartwatches and toasters? And how do we intend to keep our smart fleet of vehicles in check?
100 cameras in one app
Cameras are a handy example of sensors. Imagine you couldn't just choose between half a dozen of the cameras installed in your smartphone's camera app. Instead, the camera is also available in your car, in your fridge or in the television in the living room. With this you can send a live feed of the traffic jam at the next video call - or share a timelapse of the rotting vegetables you bought last month full of good intentions.
On the other hand, controlling your entire IoT fleet is no longer limited to smartphones. You can control the living room temperature via your smartphone, but also via the touchscreen in the fridge or via speech through the microphones built into the toaster.

It quickly becomes clear that the smartphone is changing - from a pocket-sized control center for our lives to a portable display that can be folded up and be as large as possible when you need it. At home, there will be screens in more and more devices in the future, and a whole part of human-machine interaction will shift from touch to speech.
Monolithic and microkernels
The big challenge for the operating systems of the future is precisely this: users no longer interact with discrete devices that combine all hardware features. Distributed systems, whose hardware resources and interfaces can be located anywhere, will dominate.
Today's operating systems rely on so-called monolithic kernels or hybrid kernels. The architecture is rigid and requires high minimum requirements in terms of memory and computing power. Android & Co. will never run on a light bulb, at least in their current version.
Microkernels, on the other hand, are much more modular. At the core, these operating systems are much more compact, but can also be easily expanded, since all processes run outside the actual kernel - even beyond the physical boundaries of discrete devices. Here 5G also plays an important role, but more about that later.
Surely Android and iOS will run on our smartphones for many years to come. But in my opinion, the now important operating systems will become extremely irrelevant in the coming decade.
Operating systems and interfaces
Google is working with Fuchsia on a micro-kernel operating system, and of course there are also Android Things, but similar to Microsoft's Windows 10 IoT it is still somewhere in the middle. Huawei's Harmony OS is currently gaining momentum as public perception of the system somehow arrived as an Android alternative due to the political tension between the United States, China, and Huawei. But with the micro-kernel architecture, the open-source operating system has much more potential for a networked world.
But in the next decade another question will arise: what is an operating system anyway? While the dictionary definition will probably not change, one can expect a shift in user perception. TheVerge, for example, published an article last year titled: "Amazon wants Alexa to be the operating system for your life".

By definition, Alexa is not an operating system, but rather an interface that works independently of the operating system - just like (theoretically) Cortana or Google Assistant. Another example of a theoretically operating system independent interface is WeChat, which is widely used in Asia. The users do not only chat here; they pay with WeChat, find apartments and conclude rental contracts and have their identification documents on there.
When asked about the significance of Android, the answer in China is a shrug of the shoulder - the main thing is that the alternative supports WeChat. Neither Google nor Huawei wanted to comment on our requests regarding Fuchsia or Harmony OS, but there will be news in 2020 at the earliest.
The meaning of 5G
The significance of 5G for the Internet of Everything should be clear by now. In the future, each device will connect directly to the cloud and to your personal ecosystem. This makes your Wi-Fi at home just as superfluous as the DSL connection and the annoying Bluetooth connection between headphones and smartphones, for example. But it also quickly becomes clear what power the providers will have in the future; they will become even more the interface of your entire digital life.
A further step, by the way, is the ongoing conversion to IPv6. The extended address space offers space for 6*10^23 devices - per square meter of earth surface. This corresponds approximately to the number of stars in the observable universe per square meter of earth. By way of comparison, IPv4 is pretty tight with a total of only 4.29 billion IP addresses.

That should be enough for the rest of the century, no matter how many toasters, ovens and fragrance dispensers we put on the net. The human mind traditionally finds it difficult to grow exponentially. In an Internet of Everything inhabited by MEMS or Foglets, even IPv6 could reach its limits at some point. But until then, there are still other problems to solve.
Bye bye, Windows, Android & Co.?
Back to Android, Windows and the like - will the classic operating systems soon disappear into oblivion? Certainly not. But the share of our attention will dwindle in the next few years. Until just over a decade ago, our online lives were almost entirely based on desktop computers or notebooks. This year, Similarweb counted a mobile share of 58 percent of website visits, and the trend is rising.
I'm sure in ten years' time the market will not only be divided between desktop computers, notebooks, and smartphones but will literally be fragmented. Instead of reading the news on a screen, we will conduct conversations with platform-independent language assistants about current events. "Alexa, how did the elections go today?" - "How did politician XYZ react?", and so on.
Virtual and mixed reality have not yet established themselves as platforms. But the time will come.
Instead of perceiving games as a discreet experience on a device, Gamificiation has found its way into our everyday lives - at the same time, we may withdraw for hours into photorealistic VR worlds, which in turn run on other platforms. With AR and MR glasses, we can consume media content anywhere, anytime.
Sounds like chaos?
Harmony OS is called Hong Meng in China. The name means literally translated among other things "dense fog". In Chinese mythology, Hong Meng symbolizes the original chaos that dominated the world before creation.
An apt name for the wave that is rolling towards us with the Internet of Things.

First off your website is broken when running on Android phone via chrome (the comments section goes in weird pop up loops.) So fix that first.
Secondly it looks like you are smoking something, something strong. Please let me know, if you can get it in Germany, I can get it in Washington for sure (hippie life bro).
Thirdly I hope you get some technical education. Half the things are not correct and possibly caused by hallucination caused by point 2.
Good luck 🤣

Took me 5 minutes just to comment, I had to go into desktop mode and ad free mode just to post a reply. Something is broken, story is one sided meaning it can go any way at any point. As long as profits can be made it will always change even if we ge it by 6G something new will come up.

This might be the way, but I don't think so.
(1) 5G requires quite a dense grid of antennas. I do see it grow in urban areas, but not in rural areas. These antennas need to be paid for - by the users (I remember reading what Canadians are paying for their current subscriptions) or by very ambitious governments (I could imagine the Chinese). Yes, we may find other ways, like satellite broadband for even the poorest - but again, the infrastructure has to be paid for.
(2) I'd think that the current range of "things" shows that no fundamentally new operating system is needed. (Mine is not a commercial view.) To my knowledge, WearOS still is a member of the Linux family.
(3) Yes, the strangest "things" may become connected by some form of Internet, but these don't require operating systems themselves. They may transmit data (camera traps noticing movement), they may receive instructions (to open a drain to let water off), but these actions don't require an operating system. The processing of incoming data that leads to outcoming instructions will be done by a computing device in some command post (which may eventually be portable or even wearable), but all processing will still consist of Sequences, If-forks and While-loops. We may well need (or want) new breeds of apps, but (technically) not new operating systems.

China targets individual behaviour with 'green living' campaign

The campaign will use traditional Communist Party mobilisation methods to change individual behaviour rather than cracking down on companies as in the past
SHANGHAI, Nov 7 (Reuters) - China launched a national "green living" campaign on Wednesday to urge people to cut waste, save water and plant trees as part of a broader effort to reverse the damage done by decades of untrammeled growth.
While the government did not specify how its targets would be met or enforced, the campaign will use traditional Communist Party mobilisation methods to change individual behaviour rather than cracking down on companies as in the past.
By 2022, more than 60% of households would be expected to engage in "green living" activities such as tree-planting, wildlife protection, and cutting plastic waste.
Communist Party and government departments would have to meet requirements to recycle, purchase new-energy vehicles and create paperless offices, while schools would be expected to create "green campuses".
Urban residential districts would be expected to create "liveable environments" and increase green spaces, while shopping malls would be encouraged to cut waste and promote "green consumption".
China is the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. It has been waging war on pollution and modernising its heavy industrial economy in a bid to cut emissions and clean up its environment.
As well as launching a series of campaigns against corporate polluters, it has built infrastructure and created incentives to treat waste. It is building 100 new recycling bases set to be completed by the end of next year.
Shanghai has launched a series of new initiatives aimed at improving its environment, and it was the first Chinese city to force its residents to sort their own trash. (Reporting by David Stanway; Editing by Stephen Coates)
